Garden of Beauty, Translucent Fragrances
Nitobe Memorial Garden
The Nitobe Memorial Garden is a 2 1⁄2-acre (one hectare) traditional Japanese garden located at the University of British Columbia, just outside the city limits of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is part of the UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research.
It honours Japanese author, educator, diplomat, and politician Nitobe Inazō (1862–1933), who died in Victoria, British Columbia (now the sister city of Nitobe’s home town Morioka), and whose goal was “to become a bridge across the Pacific”.
The garden has been the subject of more than fifteen years’ study by a UBC professor, who believes that its construction hides a number of impressive features, including references to Japanese philosophy and mythology, shadow bridges visible only at certain times of year, and positioning of a lantern that is filled with light at the exact date and time of Nitobe’s death each year. The garden is behind the university’s Asian Centre, which is built with steel girders from Japan’s exhibit at Osaka Expo. | [

Full NGTC Spec Announced
Today the full NGTC specifications have been released, giving us a glimpse of what to expect in next years BTCC.
“Tremendous progress has been made and we are right on schedule. Its genuinely exciting to see how the car is developing – it will be a fantastic piece of kit!” said Alan Gow, speaking exclusively to btcc.net.
With the new Next Generation Touring Car rules, teams will be able to build a complete car, plus engine for £125,000 – a fraction of the cost which some teams have been rumoured to have spent this season. Hopefully with the reduced cost we could see a record number of entrants in the BTCC for many years to come.
Rear wheel drive cars will also be available after concerns over their future were brought forward at the end of last season. “After we released details of the NGTC program last year, I stated that we would revisit the question of incorporating rear-wheel drive in the regulations if there was enough interest or commitment from teams and manufacturers of rear-wheel drive cars to support it. Having now had those discussions, I’m confident that there is and so we have now included it,” added Gow.
GPR Motorsport will be behind the new project and hope to have a prototype ready for the season finale at Brands Hatch later this year. GPR will be the suppliers of the suspension subframes and associated assembly components. This announcement comes after Swindon Engines were announced as official suppliers of the TOCA Turbocharged engine. Xtrac, AP Racing and Cosworth Electronics have also been revealed as technical partners.
This season has already given us a little insight into what the BTCC will become with Jordan and Pinkney both opting to use the TOCA-NGTC Turbocharged engine in their respective Vauxhall Vectra’s. The turbo engines will be down on power until 2013 where they will be unrestricted, making the S2000 spec cars obsolete.
- 300+bhp 2-litre turbo-charged direct-injection engine with ‘fly by wire’ throttle control.
- Low cost to develop, build, buy and maintain – either by teams and/or race engine-builders developing their own, or through lease/purchase of the TOCA-BTCC engine
- Engine can be sourced from a manufacturers broad ‘family’ range, including subsidiary marques under their effective control.
- Over-boost function and increased power output from 2013.
- Xtrac 6 speed sequential-shift gearbox.
- AP Racing carbon clutch.
- Drive-train layout (i.e. front or rear wheel drive) as per base vehicle.
- Full front sub-frame incorporating suspension, brakes, transmission and engine location that attaches to specified roll cage locations. Multi-adjustable double wishbone suspension with coil-over dampers.
- Rear sub-frame that attaches to specified roll cage locations. Multi-adjustable double wishbone suspension with coil-over dampers.

How does a forklift hydraulic cylinder handle variations in cylinder size?
A forklift hydraulic cylinder is designed to handle variations in cylinder size and accommodate different lifting capacities. Here's an explanation of how it achieves this:
The hydraulic cylinder's ability to handle variations in cylinder size is primarily dependent on its design and the following factors:
1. Piston Diameter:
The piston diameter of the hydraulic cylinder determines the lifting force it can generate. Forklift hydraulic cylinders are designed with different piston diameters to accommodate various load capacities. Larger piston diameters provide higher lifting capacities, while smaller diameters are suitable for lighter loads. The cylinder is designed and manufactured to match the required lifting capacity based on the forklift's specifications.
2. Cylinder Construction:
The hydraulic cylinder is constructed to withstand the forces exerted during lifting operations. The materials used in its construction, such as high-strength steel, are selected based on the anticipated load capacities. The cylinder's structural integrity ensures that it can handle the stress and pressure exerted during lifting, regardless of the cylinder size.
3. Hydraulic System Pressure:
The hydraulic system pressure plays a crucial role in determining the lifting capacity of the cylinder. By increasing or decreasing the pressure of the hydraulic fluid, the lifting force generated by the cylinder can be adjusted. The forklift's hydraulic system is designed to provide sufficient pressure to match the lifting requirements of different cylinder sizes.
4. Control Valves and Flow:
The forklift's hydraulic system incorporates control valves that regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid to the cylinder. These valves allow the operator to control the speed and force of the cylinder's extension and retraction. By adjusting the flow rate, the lifting capacity can be tailored to suit the specific cylinder size and the load being lifted.
5. Sealing Mechanisms:
The hydraulic cylinder incorporates seals to prevent fluid leakage and maintain pressure. These seals, designed to accommodate different cylinder sizes, ensure a proper seal between the piston and cylinder barrel. They are selected based on the specific requirements of the cylinder size to maintain optimal performance and prevent leakage.
In summary, a forklift hydraulic cylinder handles variations in cylinder size by incorporating design elements such as piston diameter, appropriate construction materials, hydraulic system pressure, control valves, and sealing mechanisms. These factors work together to ensure that the cylinder can generate the required lifting force and withstand the forces exerted during lifting operations, regardless of the cylinder size.
How does a forklift hydraulic cylinder contribute to load handling precision?
A forklift hydraulic cylinder plays a significant role in achieving precise load handling. Here's an explanation of how it contributes to load handling precision:
The hydraulic cylinder contributes to load handling precision in the following ways:
1. Controlled Lifting and Lowering:
The hydraulic cylinder enables controlled lifting and lowering of the forks or attachment. By adjusting the hydraulic pressure and flow, the operator can smoothly and precisely raise or lower the load. This control allows for accurate positioning of the forks and precise handling of the load, minimizing the risk of damage or accidents.
2. Variable Speed Control:
Forklift hydraulic cylinders offer variable speed control during lift and tilt operations. The operator can adjust the hydraulic flow rate to control the speed at which the forks or attachment move. This variable speed control allows for fine adjustments and precise positioning of the load, even in delicate or sensitive handling situations.
3. Load Balancing:
The hydraulic cylinder contributes to load balancing, which is crucial for precise load handling. By adjusting the extension or retraction of the cylinder, the operator can maintain a proper balance between the load and the forklift. This balance ensures stability and control during lifting, lowering, and transport, enhancing load handling precision.
4. Fork Positioning:
Hydraulic cylinders are responsible for controlling the positioning of the forks or attachment. By extending or retracting the cylinders, the operator can adjust the horizontal position of the forks, aligning them with the load or pallet. This precise fork positioning allows for accurate entry into pallets or containers, ensuring efficient load handling.
5. Attachment Control:
In forklifts with specialized attachments, hydraulic cylinders contribute to precise control of the attachment's movements. Whether it's a side shift, fork positioner, or rotating attachment, the hydraulic cylinder enables accurate adjustments and alignment of the attachment to the load. This precise attachment control enhances load handling precision, especially when dealing with unique or challenging load configurations.
In summary, a forklift hydraulic cylinder contributes to load handling precision through controlled lifting and lowering, variable speed control, load balancing, fork positioning, and attachment control. These factors work together to provide operators with the ability to handle loads with accuracy, | [

Music To Your Ears - DkIT host International Music Conference18 February 2022
Dundalk Institute of Technology are thrilled to announce that they will host the annual conference of The International Council for Traditional Music Ireland, which will be held virtually on 25th and 26th February 2022. The conference brings together research that considers places and sounds beyond the norm of traditional music studies and ethnomusicology under the theme ‘Music: Connectivity, Interaction and Mediatisation’.
Researchers from the Creative Arts Research Centre at DkIT are prominent across the two days. Programme Director for the BA (Hons) Music, Dr Georgina Hughes will present on the work of Scottish percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie while Head of Department of Creative Arts, Media and Music, Dr Adèle Commins will present on an opera by Dublin-born composer Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. Dr Anne Marie Hanlon, conference convenor at DkIT, will present on gendered experiences of the Irish music industry in a session with recent DkIT graduate Joanne Cusack, now completing her doctoral studies with a scholarship at Maynooth University, who is examining the legacy of A Woman’s Heart. Dr Daithí Kearney, Co-Director of the Creative Arts Research Centre at DkIT, will present a paper on a series of podcasts by Siamsa Tíre, the National Folk Theatre of Ireland and his student Leandro Pessina, a recipient of a DkIT Postgraduate Research Scholarship, will critique the representation of Co. Louth in a recent series of videos by Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. In addition to several papers on Irish traditional music, the diversity of sessions includes a plenary on music in China.
The keynote speaker for the 2022 conference is Professor Thérèse Smith, University College Dublin, who will present a paper entitled ‘How Can I Keep from Singing?’. Her presentation will critically consider how musicians and dancers have adapted to the restrictions of the pandemic, and how might these adaptations have lasting imprints on artistic practice. Professor Smith is the recipient of the inaugural Oirdhearchas Award from ICTM Ireland.
ICTM Ireland is affiliated to the International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM), a non-governmental organization in formal consultative relations with UNESCO. Its aims are “to further the study, practice, documentation, preservation and dissemination of traditional music, including folk, popular, classical and urban music, and dance of all countries.” ICTM Ireland brings a local focus to the activities of ICTM and provides a regional forum for scholars of diverse musical traditions.
DkIT previously hosted the Annual Conference in 2015 and also hosted the joint Society for Musicology in Ireland (SMI) and ICTM Ireland postgraduate conference in 2019.

The propagation property of acoustic waves in geomaterials has long been studied for evaluating material properties. Biot (1956a,b, 1962), Morse (1952) and Urick (1948) initiated the pioneering study in this area, Attenborough (1982, 1983), Stoll (1980) and Stoll and Bryan (1970) enhanced and refined the physics of acoustic wave propagation in geo-materials, Mu et al. (1999) and Abousleiman et al, (1994) developed the formulations for more complicated conditions, and Sabatier et al. (1990, 1996), Lu et al. (2003), Oelze et al. (2001), Berryman (2005) and Yamamoto (2003) opened the era of wide application of acoustic waves for characterizing properties of geo-materials such as porosity, stress level and surface roughness.
The primary difference of acoustic wave from seismic wave is that its frequency range and convenience of excitation frequency control. Analyzing the frequency dependent response of geomaterials, new properties of soils can be found (permeability). Additionally, using Electro-Kinetic-Hydraulic coupled relations, new instrumentations for measuring the wave may be developed. | [

Be mesmerized by our new virtual reality experience! With state-of-the-art motion seats and VR dive goggles that provide a full 360° view, you’ll feel like you’re really below the surface, swimming alongside the threatened manta rays of Mozambique.
This immersive, six-minute experience, guided by Dr. Andrea Marshall, the first person in the world to complete a Ph.D. on manta rays, provides a beautiful—and rare—glimpse of these amazing animals. (Did you know that open-ocean shark and ray populations have declined by over 70% since 1970, due almost entirely to overfishing? You can help by voting for politicians who support robust fisheries management measures and marine protected areas, and by choosing sustainable seafood.)
Check ticket availability when you arrive for your Aquarium visit! Space for these virtual reality experiences is limited to four people per session, with sessions offered every 15 minutes. Seats and goggles are fully cleaned between sessions.
More to see and do
Get to know the amazing fish, invertebrates, birds and mammals that make their homes with us! As you explore the Aquarium, you may have the opportunity to see animal feedings or even animals being trained to voluntarily participate in their own health care. And our friendly staff and volunteers are always at the ready to answer questions and help you learn more.
Discover Caring Cove, an open play space where kids can deepen their connections to marine animals and their habitats by play-acting a variety of animal care activities. Caring Cove features six different areas—many stocked with toy instruments based on the equipment used by our animal care staff—that encourage and support imaginative play for toddlers through children ages 8–10.
Life On The Edge Tide Pools
Step up, lean over and reach in! Staff and volunteers are always nearby to identify the animals in the tide pools, answer questions and deepen your knowledge about Puget Sound. Even if you opt not to get your hands wet, you’ll still be enriched by the beautiful sights, smells and sounds of this habitat.

FREQUENCY OF UNIDENTIFIED DIABETES MELLITUS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Objective: To determine the frequency of unidentified Diabetes Mellitus in Acute Myocardial Infarction.
Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Army Cardiac Centre Lahore, Lahore, from Jan 2020 to Feb 2020.
Methodology: Patients (male and females) with acute myocardial infarction both ST Elevation MI and non-ST Elevation MI presenting to cardiac centre were included through consecutive non probability sampling technique. Patients with gestation diabetes mellitus and diabetes type I were excluded. Data was collected through detailed questionnaire covering the necessary variables. Distribution of unrecognized diabetes in these patients were determined through Blood Sugar Fasting and HBA1c levels undersigned by the classified Pathologist.
Results: Over the study period, a total of 150 patients were included. 68.6% were males with 40.6% patients suffering from STEMI and 28% with NSTEMI. Among 31.2% females, 12.6% patients had STEMI and 18.6% had NSTEMI. Out of total patients, 40% were known case of diabetes, 26.6% were newly diagnosed diabetics, normoglycemic were 23.3% and impaired fasting blood glucose levels was present in 10% patients. Total 40 (26.6%) patients were those who were first diagnosed diabetes during admission for acute MI management. In unidentified diabetic group STEMI was more common than NSTEMI with male predominance.
Conclusion: There is a high frequency of unrecognized diabetes mellitus in patients with acute Myocardial infarction in our population. Therefore, in high risk patients for ischemic heart disease, screening for diabetes is routinely suggested to take timely preventive efforts and avoid complications. | [

I was once told by an HVAC technician to avoid using air deflectors on floor registers during the summer. The reason was that the last thing you want to do is to direct the heavier, colder air towards the floor. Doing so prevents the fresh cold air from mixing with the stale warmer air before it inevitably sinks.
Makes sense, but i have since seen (and heard) a couple of counter arguments to this:
- Most homes tend to leak air around the exterior walls and windows, which is where many floor registers are located.
- Blowing cold air up a warm exterior wall is not desirable and tends to create hot/cold pockets, especially in large rooms. Doing so could also cause undesirable condensation/moisture problems on the the exterior walls/windows.
- Part of the cooling effect is our perception of it, and air deflectors help us feel cooler by making the air flow more directional towards the main living space.
- Heavy curtains and other window treatments often impede or trap the cool air that blows straight up from a floor register.
For the experienced HVAC pro's and hobbyists here - what is the verdict on air deflectors? Do they help or do they make your cooling less efficient? | [

Laketran CEO discusses headquarters expansion at zoning commission meeting
Feb. 21—Laketran CEO Ben Capelle recently presented plans for the transit agency's upcoming headquarters expansion to the Painesville Township Zoning Commission, with commission members unanimously approving the expansion's site plan review.
Capelle said that the current headquarters dates from 1989-1990 and "hasn't seen any substantial upgrades since then." He said that the approximately $20 million expansion will provide additional space for offices and vehicles, while also allowing the agency to "renovate and replace a lot of the mechanical systems that we haven't touched that are 30 years old and inefficient."
He noted that the new space will be added to the back of the existing headquarters and into a portion of the parking lot in front of the building.
According to Zoning Commission Chairman Ted Galuschik, the project will add around 37,670 square feet of space to the existing 162,000-square-foot headquarters.
When asked about a tree planting plan, Capelle noted that "most of the trees that are on site are being retained," adding that the expansion will primarily impact a parking lot and gravel pathway.
He also explained that Laketran is adding landscaping to the property, saying, "we have homes on multiple sides of us, so we wanted to make sure we maintain a good image and good barrier between those homes with appropriate landscaping, and make sure we maintain a high-quality environment just for anybody that uses us or lives nearby."
According to Capelle, the transit agency has "tried to stay up to date over time with technology" and will add "incremental changes" to the headquarters. These include improvements to the camera system and expansion of the gas detection system.
"The other thing we really took a hard look at is, because we serve so many people with disabilities, we kind of overengineered the building from an accessibility perspective," he added, noting that the transit agency instructed the architects to use wheelchairs, walkers and crutches in the building.
"We've taken a lot of extra steps, particularly from an accessibility point of view, to make sure that anyone who interacts with us has the best experience possible," Capelle said.
As was reported at the time, Laketran received a $14,681,981 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration in March 2022 for its headquarters expansion.
Laketran Board of Trustees President Brian Falkowski indicated in December that the agency planned to start work in the spring.
Laketran's headquarters is located at 555 Lakeshore Blvd. | [

Atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) have been used to characterize the nanostructure of Au colloid-based surfaces. Because these substrates are composed of particles whose dimensions are known prior to assembly, they are well-suited for a critical comparison of the capabilities and limitations of each nanoscale imaging technique. The three criteria for this comparison, which are relevant to the field of nanoparticle assemblies in general, are (i) accuracy in establishing particle size, particle coverage, and interparticle spacing; (ii) accuracy in delineating surface topography; and (iii) ease of sample preparation, data acquisition, and image analysis. For colloidal Au arrays, TEM gives the most reliable size and spacing information but exhibits the greatest constraints with regard to sample preparation; in contrast, AFM is widely applicable but yields data that are the least straightforward to interpret For accurate information regarding nanometer-scale architecture of particle-based surfaces, a combination of at least one scanning probe method (AFM, NSOM) and one accelerated-electron method (TEM, FE-SEM) is required.

In terms of the more and more fashionable world of playing, one playing recreation that stakes fairly a repute is that of poker. Poker has been a well-liked on line casino recreation for fairly some time now and exhibits no signal of ever stopping and even slowing down. Poker has gained such a recognition rush that there are actually large tournaments that happen everywhere in the world, involving tons of cash and just one victor rising. In reality, the WSOP (World Collection of Poker) even is held yearly, pitting the very best poker gamers towards one another in an epic battle for the win Dewa Poker.
One widespread mistake that’s made by lots of people in terms of poker, is pondering that poker itself is only one, solitary recreation. Poker may need been one explicit sort of recreation means again when, however these days there are such a lot of completely different variations of poker which have emerged and are actively performed. In all probability probably the most heard of and performed variations of poker is Texas Maintain-Em. Together with that, there are some fairly outrageous variations of poker which can be utterly distinctive in each means, reminiscent of Observe the Queen.

The Light Beyond Judgment
Dear Spiritual Reader,
In my reflections and journeys, both personal and shared with you, I've come to contemplate deeply on the essence of judgment and its wise impact on our lives. Judgment, at its core, is our mind's way of categorizing the world around us—labeling thoughts, actions, and people as right or wrong, good or bad, often through the lens of our own experiences and cultural conditioning.
Interestingly, the theme of judgment doesn't just play out in our daily interactions; it also has a significant presence in the Tarot deck, represented by the Judgment card. This card is not about condemnation or criticism but symbolizes rebirth, inner calling, and the realization of one's life purpose. It invites us to reflect on our past, understand our present, and make conscious choices that align with our highest good. This powerful symbolism deeply resonates with me, as it highlights the transformative potential of using judgment as a tool for self-reflection and growth, rather than a weapon of criticism.
In our everyday lives, the balance with judgment is sometimes distorted and often unconscious. We might find ourselves judging others for their choices and paths, not realizing that these judgments reflect our own insecurities, biases, or unhealed wounds. Similarly, the harsh judgments we place upon ourselves can be debilitating, creating barriers to our own expansion and fulfillment.
But here's the beauty of understanding judgment through the lens of the Tarot and our spiritual practices: it teaches us that every moment of judgment is an opportunity for awakening. When we catch ourselves in the act of judging, we're being called to look deeper—to question our preconceptions, to heal our inner wounds, and to open our hearts to compassion and empathy.
I've come to see that the cultures we're part of play a significant role in shaping our judgments. We're often not even aware of how deeply ingrained these cultural beliefs are, influencing how we view others who walk different paths or embody different ways of being. Recognizing this has been a humbling journey for me, prompting me to practice seeing beyond the immediate judgments of the stories that live within, experiences, and truths that every soul carries.
Transforming Judgment into a Path of Light
Here's how I've been healing generational judgement and transforming it from a source of division to a bridge towards understanding, acceptance and self-discovery:
1. Awareness: It starts with becoming aware of my judgments, acknowledging them without self-condemnation. This awareness is the first step towards change.
2. Curiosity: I try to approach judgments with curiosity. Why am I feeling this way? What does this reveal about my beliefs, fears, or unhealed aspects?
3. Compassion: Extending compassion—both to myself and others—helps dissolve judgments. Understanding that we're all doing our best based on what is known to us cultivates a sense of shared humanity.
4. The Judgment card in the Tarot deck reminds me to listen to my inner calling and use judgment as a tool for personal rebirth and transformation. It's about answering to our higher selves and making choices that serve our ultimate growth.
5. Release and Forgive: I practice releasing judgments, visualizing them floating away like leaves on a river. This act of release is accompanied by forgiveness, for myself and others, understanding that we're all navigating this complex journey of life as best we can.
A Simple Meditation for Releasing Judgment
Whenever I find myself tangled in judgments, I turn to a simple meditation practice.
I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths, grounding myself in the present.
I visualize each judgment as a cloud in the sky of my mind, acknowledging its presence without attachment. Then, gently, with each exhale, I imagine these clouds dissolving, leaving behind a clear, open sky—symbolizing my mind free from judgments, open to love and serenity.
This practice has been a very useful tool for me, helping to clear the space for more kindness, grace, and genuine connections in my life. It reminds me that each of us is striving for peace with the wisdom and resources we have at this present time in life.
As we journey forward, I invite you to explore your own relationship with judgment. May we use it not as a sword to divide but as a mirror for our own healing light and a bridge towards a deeper version to reach our higher-self. | [

How to gain control over things and life? Everything we purchase requires attention and care. It takes time and energy. Freeing the house from excess things, we shift the focus of attention from what we have to what we do. Minimalism is open space, simplicity and lightness! Francine Jay discusses the happiness of less in her book “The Joy of Less: A Minimalist Guide to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify”.
1. You are not what you own
Contrary to what marketers would have you believe, you are not what you own. You are you and things are things. Think about how much you bought just for the sake of creating an image: bags, home furnishings, shoes, a guitar, or a fashionable fishing rod. All this in order to impress others or to indulge our “fantasy selves” – the one who’s about to lose 10 pounds, travels around the world, attends social parties, and plays in a rock band.
In addition, we identify ourselves with things from the past and carefully preserve school letters, medals of sports competitions, or lecture notes. In justification, we say that all this is evidence of our achievements. Perhaps it’s time to part with these relics forever.
Remember, the things with which we choose to surround ourselves tell our story. Let’s hope it’s not “I choose to live in the past”, or “I can’t finish the projects I start”. Instead, let’s aim for something like, “I live lightly and gracefully, with only the objects I find functional or beautiful”.
Looking at things with a critical eye, one can marvel at how many of them honor the memory of the past or embody the hope of the future.
Unfortunately, when these things are given too much space, time, and effort, they become an obstacle to life in the present. We are not what we have, we are our affairs, thoughts, and loved ones. Getting rid of the remnants of past times, unfinished business and unfulfilled fantasies, we are making room for new opportunities.
We are not what we own; we are what we do, what we think and who we love.
2. Less staff = less stress
First of all, we worry if we do not have a specific thing. Perhaps something caught your eye in the store or in advertising, and suddenly the question arose: how could I live without this all my life? The neighbor has it, friends gifted it to your sister, a colleague bought it last week. It begins to seem that we were deprived …
Then we worry about how to get it. As soon as we get what we want, we get a new headache, because you must learn how to use it, find the right place to put it, buying extra parts of it, fix it, etc.
How many precious hours do we spend visiting dry cleaners, how many Saturdays are we ruining because of the need to change the oil or repair the car? How often do we get nervous because of a broken vase, cracked plate, or stains on the carpet?
Let’s take a break and remember how carefree and happy you felt when you were a student. And it is no coincidence that it was when we had the fewest things. Studying, living and having fun were much more important than things. And it is this state of joy that we will regain with the help of a minimalist worldview.
3. Less stuff = more freedom
Imagine that you were offered a dream job, but in order to get it, you need to move across the country within three days.
Would you be filled with excitement and start making plans? Or would you look around your house and worry about how to get everything packed up in time? Won’t you be horrified by the thought that you have to transport all things for thousands of miles (or, even worse, this idea will seem to you simply ridiculous)?
What is the likelihood that in the end you decide not to bother, because you are firmly settled at home, and over time, something else may turn up?
Would your stuff have the power to hold you in place?
It seems crazy to consider – but would your stuff have the power to hold you in place? For many, the answer is likely to be yes. Things can be an obstacle to doing something new or developing new abilities. They build a prison wall around us. Having embarked on the path of minimalism, we take apart these walls and regain our freedom.
Zen Buddhism teaches that in order to be happy, we must let go of our worldly attachments. In fact, haiku port Basho famously wrote that when his house burned down, he had a better view of the moon. Now that | [

The New Care Models for Integrating Health and Social Care through EHCH, PACS & MCPs
This conference is aimed at to health and social care leaders involved in the planning of population based healthcare, a concept that should underpin services delivered via multi-specialty community providers (MCP), primary and acute care systems (PACS) and accountable care organisations (ACO) and focuses on how organisations can successfully integrate health and social care practices to give better continuity and consistence in care, reduce readmissions, save costs and improve patient experience. Through national updates and learning from vanguard case studies of new care models, delegates will receive practical information on how they can achieve a solid integrated system within their own organisation and workforce in line with the vision of the Five Year Forward View.

Under the name, Prey Nokor (Khmer: ), it was the main port of Cambodia, before being annexed by the Vietnamese in the 17th century. Under the name Saigon (Vietnamese: Sài Gòn; pronunciation (help·info)), it was the capital of the French colony of Cochinchina, and later of the independent state of South Vietnam from 1954 to 1975. In 1975, Saigon was merged with the surrounding province of Gia Định and renamed Hồ Chí Minh City (although the name Sài Gòn is still commonly used.)
The city center is situated on the banks of the Saigon River, 60 kilometers (37 mi) from the South China Sea and 1,760 kilometers (1,094 mi) south of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.
The metropolitan area, which consists of Hồ Chí Minh City metro area, Thủ Dầu Một, Di An, Bien Hoa and surrounding towns, has more than 9 million people, making it the largest metropolitan area in Vietnam and Indochina. The Greater Ho Chi Minh City Metropolitan Area, a metropolitan area covering most part of Dong Nam Bo plus Tien Giang and Long An provinces under planning will have an area of 30,000 square kilometers with a population of 20 million inhabitants by 2020. | [

Ok for some reason I can't find my notes on the last turkey I brined and smoked and I can't for the life of me remember how long I brined it. I am guessing over night but I don't know for sure. I am using the Slaughter house recipe again how long do you guys usually brine your turkey's. I think it is around 5-10 lbs. Thanks guys. | [

Girton Birdwatch - December 2013
It's difficult to be topical given the time-lag between writing this report and its appearance in the News so I don't feel too guilty about going back as far as August in order to cover the appearance of the Osprey - or probably Ospreys - which visited the area that month. One was at the Milton Country Park on the 29th and seemed to linger until the 3rd September. (What may have been the same bird was seen over Lovell Road on the 2nd, while a different youngster was at the Cam Washes on the 31st August). There is a good series of photographs on the Cambridgeshire Bird Club's website which shows the Milton bird taking quite large fish from the gravel pits.
Even greater excitement was generated when a Sooty Shearwater made an overnight stop on Grafham Water on 26th September. This probably represented the first-ever inland record of this highly pelagic (frequenter of the high seas) species in Britain, never mind Cambridgeshire. We are very familiar nowadays with the Manx Shearwater which gets regular exposure on television nature programmes, partly because of its tendency to nest underground, spending the evening off-shore in large 'rafts' before venturing on land to occupy old rabbit holes etc. This is a bird which is most at home at sea and its legs are set far back on its body to facilitate swimming, but at the cost of making it extremely vulnerable to gull and skua attack, hence its 'underground' breeding solution. The Sooty Shearwater is not a rare bird and may be seen off almost any British and Irish coastline in autumn by those inclined to seek it out and with strong stomachs, but has never been seen inland before (there have been disputed sightings). Encounters with the bird at sea are noteworthy not for their rarity but for the fact that every bird seen in our waters represents the end point of a journey of about 10,000 miles. 'Sooties', as birders call them, breed at the other end of the earth, mainly on offshore islands in the southernmost Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The 'wintering' birds we see in our hemisphere, being out of the breeding season, do little vocalising but on their nesting grounds, the Falkland Islands for example, are renowned for making the'most ghastly sounds like choking cats grating and choking with noise like gurgling intake of breath'. Grafham fishermen are rumoured to have gone home early that night.
October/November in the county was notable for the arrival of the winter migrants. Thousands of Redwings were reported flooding into the county from Scandinavia, although they have avoided the Rec as yet, but more unusually eleven Barnacle Geese were seen off Huntingdon Road (15th October). In this area we are much more familiar with the more common and similar-looking black and white Canada Geese, with Barnacles preferring the wilder reaches of Scotland and Ireland. In November 30,000 of these delicate-looking birds arrive on Islay alone, grazing on improved pasture land much to the chagrin of local farmers. Juvenile Gannets have also been seen passing over the city and at Fen Drayton Lakes and near Wimpole (13th October), while large flocks of Golden Plover, like the 547 reported from Hilton, can be founded dotted around our local countryside. A medium-sized flock could be seen from the Guided Busway near Swavesy on the glorious Sunday of 10th November. A pair of Red-Crested Pochard was at Fen Drayton RSPB Reserve on 9th November. The Common Pochard is a familiar bird in this country and region, especially in the autumn when the small British and Irish population is joined by a large continental influx and numbers reach as high as 60,000. Of our more common ducks most people are familiar with the Mallard, but of the other three the Pochard is the one with the chestnut-brown head and silvery-grey back, the Wigeon has a striking yellowish forehead and crown and the Teal sports an emerald-green eye-patch. The Red-Crested Pochard was a rare vagrant in Britain and Ireland until the early 20th century, but since then its numbers have dramatically increased. This is no doubt due to a genuine expansion in its European range, but it is also a product of its widespread inclusion in ornamental wildfowl collections and inevitable escapes. So now there are about 100+ in Great Britain in most years though the main world population is to be found in Central Asia, west to the Caspian and Black Seas. The drake has a large head with a prominent crown of erectile feathers, although its main distinguishing feature is a bright red and rather pronounced bill.

ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Friday declared Dec 21 as doomsday for Governor Punjab Sardar Latif Khosa, Daily Sitara Sindh reported.
Speaking to media representatives during an informal conversation at the Parliament House, Khan said changing the governor was a result of President Asif Ali Zardari’s confusion and haste.
Khan said changing governors two and a half months before the general elections was politically unsound.
He further said that the government’s performance would be the deciding factor in the upcoming polls instead of its dexterity at political bargaining.
On being asked to comment on the tax amnesty bill, Khan said the opposition would not accommodate the government on the accountability and amnesty bill.
He added that if the government managed to pass the bill on the basis of majority, the opposition would scrap the bill once it comes into power.
Khan also declared the tax amnesty bill as illegal and unconstitutional, adding that, the opposition would also approach the courts on the matter. | [

Question: Why we taught what is good or bad, If its all matter of perceptions?
Answer: On one hand, even if it is only a matter of perception and we truly live “inside our heads”, in order for our lives, Human society to work, we need some kind of a framework, system in order to prevent chaos, anarchy. This is why in each family, society, nation there is a set of “good vs bad”, a moral, legal framework to help people to adjust to the life of the collective.
On the other hand you are right, as long as this “good vs bad” is arbitrary, made up by our inherently egocentric, subjective nature, our societies, frameworks are fluid, open for subjective interpretations, and thus they are constantly distorted, corrupted which causes our haplessly recurring, vicious historic cycles, one civilization built on the ruins of the previous until this civilization collapses and we start again…
And as these civilization ending explosions are getting closer to each other, as they are getting greater, more destructive each time, we are in a dire need of a unique, purposeful, practical educational method that can help us to rise above our instinctive nature, perception, so finally we could observe reality as it is, thus identifying the absolute good vs bad that controls the world. | [

Having a good time in and around Detroit is great, but there are other cities close by that are worth the drive to visit. One popular destination is Ann Arbor, a place that has so much to see and do that a book was written about it. Author Patricia Majher joined Jason Carr to talk about her new book, “100 Things to do in Ann Arbor Before You Die”, which lists some of fun and interesting things to check out in the town.
Majher said she got the idea after seeing a similar book on Mackinaw Island She said she felt she knew everything that was to do there, but she discovered a handful of things that she never knew were available to do on the island. She then decided to write about her hometown of Ann Arbor and highlight places and activities that may be known or unknown to a visitor.
Watch the video above to hear four places that are in the book that are worth checking off your list.

The Physical, Chemical, and Nano Sciences Center's vision for Compound Semiconductors is to develop the science of compound semiconductors that will enable us to invent integrated nano-technologies for the microsystems of the future. We will achieve this by advancing the frontiers of semiconductor research in areas such as quantum phenomena, defect physics, materials and device modeling, heteroepitaxy, and by discovering new materials and inventing new device structures with novel properties.
The focus of the compound semiconductor science and technology thrust is to understand and exploit compound semiconductor materials and devices for national security applications. We are developing the fundamental physics and chemistry foundations to advance the state-of-the-art compound semiconductor optoelectronic materials and devices. Our approach is based on a focused effort including materials synthesis, characterization, theoretical modeling, device design and processing. Our research portfolio encompasses quantum phenomena, defect physics, materials and device modeling, heteroepitaxy, semiconductor nanostructures, and developing new materials and device structures with novel properties.
Our efforts are focused on the following areas of semiconductor research:
In the future, solid-state electro-optical devices based on new materials are likely to become capable of producing white light for general building illumination at significantly higher efficiencies than existing conventional light sources, with potential energy cost savings of up to $100 B per year. DOE Office of Building Technologies is presently sponsoring a joint industry/national lab/university technology roadmapping project on developing high efficiency LEDs and laser diodes for this purpose. If successful, the initiative would fund a multi-year research and development effort, the Solid-State Lighting Initiative. Sandia is currently coordinating the roadmapping effort with the Optoelectronics Industry Development Association under sponsorship of the DOE, and will likely play a significant role in the Initiative, for example, in establishing the fundamental science and technology base needed in order for this vision of ultra-efficient solid-state illumination to become a reality. Research in this area includes improvements in nitride and phosphide based growth chemistry, reactor design, and light emitting devices including LEDs and VCSELS in the red, green, blue, and ultraviolet wavelength ranges.
We are also responsible for research, development, and application of chemical science to materials technologies critical to Sandia's missions. Our work currently emphasizes the science and engineering of Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD), Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), and nanostructure synthesis and characterization. We are also involved in the synthesis and characterization of other novel materials such as carbon nanotubes, nanoporous carbon, high temperature superconductors, and various metal and semiconductor thin films using techniques such as pulsed laser deposition and thermal chemical vapor deposition.
MOCVD is a technology for producing inorganic thin films. MOCVD is a crucial step in the fabrication of GaN- and GaAs-based microelectronic and optoelectronic devices and nanostructures, as well as being used for depositing protective coatings. We advance the state-of-the-art in MOCVD and related technologies through an interdisciplinary approach which includes a wide range of experimental and theoretical techniques and an extensive network of partners inside and outside of Sandia. Using MOCVD we are investigating novel GaN-based structures for the development of high efficiency solid-state lighting and ultraviolet light emitters, quantum dot structures for infrared technologies, and improved in-situ diagnostic instrumentation. | [

Kseniya Simonova is a Ukrainian artist who just won Ukraine's version of "Britain's Got Talent" in August 2009.
She uses a giant light box, dramatic music, imagination and "sand painting" skills to interpret Germany's invasion and occupation of Ukraine during WWII. Apparently Kseniya started drawing with sand after her business collapsed because of the credit crunch and she had been drawing for less than a year when she entered Ukraine's Got Talent in August.
The video is very impressive and strangely hypnotizing.
As well as it being inspirational to watch it would also make an interesting lesson starter. | [

Three years ago, on December 10 (I'm a few days late with this post), I brought Cabana home from the Guide Dogs Holiday Banquet in San Francisco. I knew almost nothing about dogs, much less about raising a guide dog puppy. Other puppy raisers at the banquet had brought blankets and toys to keep their pups happy in the car on their drive home. I had brought the requisite plastic crate--and nothing else. I couldn't fit the crate in the front passenger seat of my vehicle, so it had to go in the back seat, where Cabana cried almost the whole way home, poor little thing.
When Cabana was 11-months old, she was released from Guide Dogs, or as they call it, "career changed". She was too dog distracted, "busy" and "too much dog" to do well as a guide dog. The decision to keep her as our pet did not come easily. I changed my mind about a million times in the few days that we had to make the decision. I knew Cabana was a great dog, but she was still a puppy, and I wasn't sure how many years it would take for her to settle down. But in the end, I just couldn't let her go to someone else. And it was the best decision I could have made. What would I do without this sweet yellow dog in my life? I shudder to think.
Guide Dogs has to name over 800 puppies every year, with a unique name that isn't being used by any other puppy in the program. That's why there are some puppies with doozies of a name out there. When a puppy is dropped from the program, the name is once again up for grabs.
My Cabana is not the first Guide Dog pup to be named Cabana, and she's certainly not the last! I think there was a black lab named Cabana in Mandy's puppy group, but she must have been career changed? Then, a couple months ago, I got an email from a new Cabana raiser, along with this photo of her. Isn't she adorable, just like her namesake?! Best wishes to this new Cabana. I hope she makes it as a guide, but even if she doesn't, I wish her a life as wonderful as our Cabana's. | [

Barnard College Launches New Black Biography
And Memoir Series for 2004-2005
Barnard College will a present a year-long authors’ series, “Writing Black Lives,” during 2004-2005 to showcase significant Black writers and figures of African descent through biography and memoir. The series will feature noted author Michael Eric Dyson (Sept. 13) reading from his acclaimed books about the lives of legendary singer Marvin Gaye and rap impresario Tupac Shakur; a new interpretation by Jean Fagan Yellin (Oct. 26) of the life of Harriet Jacobs, whose memoir of slavery is a modern classic; Alexis De Veaux (March 29), who recently published the long-awaited first biography of Audre Lorde, visionary Black feminist poet.
The series is organized by Dr. Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina, the scholar, author and national radio show book host, who is director of Barnard’s Africa and African Diaspora Studies program. This multidisciplinary approach charts the history, politics, cultures and literatures of Africa in the Americas, Caribbean and Europe.
“The goal of the series is to further strengthen Barnard’s already strong offerings of writers and thinkers by bringing in some of the people doing the finest work about Black lives. The series will explore the particular demands — historical, social, psychological and political — of writing biographies and memoirs of Black people,” said Gerzina, a professor of English at Barnard.
Gerzina’s critically acclaimed biography on The Secret Garden author Frances Hodgson Burnett was published earlier this year. She also is the author of a book on the Bloomsbury figure Dora Carrington, Carrington: A Life, which became a movie starring Emma Thompson. Her book, Black London, about the Black population of 18th-century Britain, was named a New York Times Notable Book, and her forthcoming Bijah and Lucy: Love in the Time of Colonial Slavery, will be the lead book for the Amistad imprint of HarperCollins. Gerzina hosts the nationally syndicated radio program, “The Book Show,” whose guests have included Nobel laureate Toni Morrison and Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie.

Early life[edit | edit source]
Katzenbach was born in Philadelphia and raised in Trenton. His parents were Edward L. Katzenbach, who served as Attorney General of New Jersey, and Marie Hilson Katzenbach, who was the first female president of the New Jersey State Board of Education. His uncle, Frank S. Katzenbach, served as mayor of Trenton and as a Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court. He was named after his mother's great-great-grandfather, Nicholas de Belleville (1753–1831), a French physician who accompanied Kazimierz Pułaski to America and settled in Trenton in 1778. Katzenbach was raised an Episcopalian, and was of part German descent.
Katzenbach served in the United States Army Air Corps in World War II. Assigned as a navigator in the 381st Bomb Squadron, 310th Bomb Group in North Africa. His B-25 Mitchell Bomber was shot down February 23, 1943 over the Mediterranean Sea off North Africa. He spent over two years as a prisoner of war in Italian and German POW camps.
Katzenbach attended Phillips Exeter Academy, received his B.A. cum laude from Princeton University in 1945 and his LL.B. cum laude from Yale Law School in 1947, where he served as Articles Editor of the Yale Law Journal. From 1947 to 1949, he was a Rhodes Scholar at Balliol College, Oxford.
On June 8, 1946, Katzenbach married Lydia King Phelps Stokes, in a ceremony officiated by her uncle, Anson Phelps Stokes, former canon of the Washington National Cathedral. Her father was Harold Phelps Stokes, a newspaper correspondent and secretary to Herbert Hoover.
Government service[edit | edit source]
From 1950 to 1952 he was attorney-advisor in the Office of General Counsel to the Secretary of the Air Force. Katzenbach was on the faculty of Rutgers School of Law—Newark from 1950 to 1951; was an associate professor of law at Yale from 1952 to 1956; and was a professor of law at the University of Chicago from 1956 to 1960.
He served in the U.S. Department of Justice as Assistant Attorney General of the Office of Legal Counsel in 1961-1962 and as Deputy Attorney General from 1962 to 1965. President Johnson appointed Katzenbach the 65th Attorney General of the United States on February 11, 1965, and he held the office until October 2, 1966. He then served as Under Secretary of State from 1966 to 1969.
In September 2008, Katzenbach published Some of It Was Fun: Working with RFK and LBJ (W. W. Norton), a memoir of his years in Government service.
The "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door"[edit | edit source]
- Main article: Stand in the Schoolhouse Door
On June 11, 1963, Katzenbach was a primary participant in one of the most famous incidents of the Civil Rights struggle. Alabama Governor George Wallace stood in front of Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama in an attempt to stop desegregation of that institution by the enrollment of two black students, Vivian Malone and James Hood. This became known as the "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door." Wallace stood aside only after being confronted by Katzenbach, accompanied by federal marshals and the Alabama National Guard.

Prepare your business for sales and use tax audits in 2021
As cash-strapped states seek to recover revenue losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, more businesses may be at risk of burdensome and costly sales and use tax audits in 2021, and the best way to weather a sales and use tax audit is to be prepared. Our partner Avalara has a new guidebook to help you do just that. Learn about the top audit triggers, why current economic conditions may increase the likelihood of an audit, and what you might expect during an audit. You’ll also find strategies for laying a strong, audit-ready foundation so that if and when an auditor comes knocking, your business is good to go.
Unfortunately, many businesses are ill-prepared to handle an audit. This guidebook will help you understand your typical risks and what to expect during an audit. You’ll also find strategies that may reduce the likelihood of a negative audit, make the process smoother should the auditor pay you a visit, and ultimately save your company money.
Some key topics covered include:
- Which industries are most likely to be audited
- The most common reasons for an audit
- What to expect (and avoid) during an audit
- Tactics to reduce your risks and help in the event you are audited

Peering down into the skillz gulch
Once upon a time our public schools prepared kids on both sides of the excellence divide for a mythical place called “the future.” Students from non-excellent-ville went on to labor in factories, while their more excellent peers went on to college and then became bosses. But then the factories closed or moved overseas and, save for a handful of hedge-fund managers, the wages of just about everyone became less excellent. Which raises a fiercely urgent question: how should our failed and failing public schools prepare students for the non-existent jobs of the 21st century? Continue reading →
Our nation’s fate hangs in the balance—and once again the blame can be laid squarely at the feet of our union-stifled public schools. Reader: I give you the skills gap. Perhaps the most fiercely urgent chasm we’ve encountered to date, the skills gap refers to the vast unfilled space between current and future job openings and the skills of the people looking for jobs.
Or that’s what we’re supposed to think it means. The real skills gap is between what workers have—a fierce desire not to live in their cars—and what their employers want—to pay them as little as possible. Which brings us to today’s fiercely urgent question: if the skills gap demands that we dismantle our public schools pronto, what kind of schools are best suited to producing the cheap, compliant workers that tomorrow’s employers so urgently need today? The answer: excellent schools. Continue reading → | [

This is a portrait of Lolet (mother) and Joy, my neighbors and friends.
If you're wondering why I am posting so many charcoal portraits today, it's because these represent some of the work I have done recently, and also because I'm practicing uploading photos. I'm trying to learn the strange relationship (strange to me) among Blogger, Picasa, AOL, Google, Safari, Firefox, and my computer. I still can't figure out exactly what's going on. | [

p. Secondary Brake Coolant Valve (fig. 1-31).
consists of a valve, calibrated spring, seal, guide pin, and cover.
When no brake signal pressure is applied to the right end of the
valve, spring force moves the valve to the right and prevents oil
from flowing through the valve.
When applying brake signal pressure to the right end of the valve,

Secondary Brake Coolant Valve.
q. Electric Brake Lube Valve (fig. 1-32).
The electric brake
lube valve consists of a valve and a calibrated spring in a bore.
Solenoid X, which is not energized during normal operations, controls
the movement of the electric brake valve. This allows main pressure
to push the valve down against the spring force, preventing main
pressure from flowing through the valve. When solenoid X energizes,
main pressure returns to the reservoir from the top of the valve.
This allows spring force to push the valve up and main pressure to
flow through the valve.
The output pump valve body assembly, located on the bevel gear
carrier assembly, contains the reverse signal brake valve and output
pump signal valve. | [

- Wet Weather Outfall and Nutrient Optimization Project
- The District proposes to implement the Wet Weather Outfall and Nutrient Optimization Project, which would include rehabilitating existing facilities and installing new equipment at the wastewater treatment plant. The new equipment install will improve nutrient removal from the wastewater, and the rehabilitated shallow water outfall will be used to release advanced secondary treated water during peak-wet weather flows. The proposed project is located near the Eastern shoreline of San Francisco Bay, approximately 4 miles south of the Oakland International Airport. The project site consists of the wastewater treatment plant and the existing outfall pipelines.

Identification - Pictures and Video
Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus
Kingbirds are about 8 to 9 inches.
They got their name because of they are very aggressive in protecting their territory.
This member of the flycatcher family will attack any bird that dares get near the nest, swooping down with screaming
cries. Even large birds like hawks, and crows will be attacked if they get near the nest.
attracts they will even ride on the back of a larger bird, and peck at its head.
The attractive Eastern Kingbird is gray-black above and white below, with a white band at the tip of its tail.
Its crown has a small patch of red feathers that is not often seen.
The two sexes look much the same, juveniles are similar but
a bit paler, and the winds have a buff edge. The male crown feathers will more often show a crest.
Like other birds in the flycatcher family, he sits with an
upright posture. The female does not usually show her crest, and tends sit more horizontally on a perch.

Click for Sound
Found from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
Eastern Kingbirds like to forage in agricultural areas with shrubs, lightly wooded areas,
river edges, and meadows.
They will often
perch on a treetop, cattail, or fence post where they can get a clear view of the surrounding area.
Breeding and Nesting
They prefer to breed in wooded areas near rivers, streams, or wetlands.
As in many birds, during courtship the males does elaborate displays
including backward somersaults and zigzags in the air.
A pair of Kingbirds will flutter their wings and call noisily
in a greeting display whenever they meet. The female builds a large nest of weeds, twigs, and bark lined with feathers, and plant down.
The nest can be in a shrub, low tree near water, or even on a manmade
structure such as a fence post or telephone pole.
female lays 2 to 5 creamy white or pale pink eggs, with
dark blotches. She incubates the eggs for 14 to 17 days.
Brown-headed Cowbirds will often lay their eggs in the nests of Kingbirds. Kingbirds will often
destroy these eggs if they are put in the nest before their own are laid but, are more likely to leave them after theirs are laid.
The young birds will be fed by both parents until
they start to fly in around 17 days, and
the adults will
continue to feed them for up to five weeks after this. The young tend to
remain with the parents until the birds gathers in flocks for migration.
Kingbird's will gather in large flocks much like waxwings do during migration,
wintering mostly in South America.
Kingbirds feed on insects in spring, and summer, and like fruit and berries when
they become available. They will sit on a perch and fly out to grab insects out of the air.
The birds also feed on the ground, especially in winter.

Engraving a hunting scene is always particularly difficult, and the engraver who sets out to accomplish it must be very capable. Because of the strong advancement made by some Italian engravers in recent years, and the increasing acclaim of its artistic value, many clients now ask for hunting scences to be engraved on their guns. Given that the sporting gun is principally used for hunting, it is little wonder that the hunter wishes to have the main characters of the hunting world reproduced on his shotgun: his faithful companion (his dog), the wild fowl, and the natural scenery where the action takes place. In fact, most often the hunter tries wherever possible not to use generic hunting scenes but scenes with reflect the type of hunting he prefers, with the same breed of dog and the same type of fowl hunted. Some have images of their own dogs engraved on the gun. The landscape of a game scene engraving has all of the qualities found in a painting, such as perspective, contrast, depth, and proper light/shade balance. To accomplish a beautiful game scene requires expert ability. | [

LED tube light is application of a new type of LED lighting light source on the basis of traditional tube light of the development of improved products, compared with traditional tube light has the following advantages: energy saving, low carbon, long life, good color rendering and fast response. LED tube light, a design more beautiful light, installation to keep building decoration of the overall unity and perfect, does not destroy the set of lamps and lanterns, light hidden inside the building decoration, light source is not exposed, no glare, the visual effect of soft and uniform.
What is an LED cylinder lamp
LED lamp is a kind of illumination lamp that is embedded in the light below the ceiling. LED lamp is a directional lighting fixture, only its opposite can be exposed to light, beam Angle belongs to the concentrated light, the light is more concentrated, bright and dark contrast is intense. More prominently illuminated objects, the level of the luminosity is higher, more foil a quiet environment atmosphere.
LED tube light is mainly by way of diodes lighting, life depends mainly on solid LED light source and drives the cooling part, 2012 LED tube lamp life has reached more than 80000 hours, with the development of LED technology research and widely used, has the basic drive and heat to attain the ideal state, compared with the ordinary halogen tube light, commercially available high quality LED tube lamp life reached more than 80000 hours.
LED lamp characteristics
Led tube light features: keep building decoration of the overall unity and perfect, does not destroy the set of lamps and lanterns, light hidden inside building decoration, no leakage, no glare, the visual effect of soft and uniform.
Energy saving: the same brightness consumes a half of the ordinary energy saving lamp.
Environmental protection: no harmful substances such as mercury, no pollution to the environment.
Economy: the cost of the lamp can be recouped a year and a half due to the reduced cost of electricity. A family can save tens of yuan a month.
Low carbon: saving electricity is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions.
Longevity: LED lamps have a lifespan of 100,000 hours, and an LED light can be used for up to 40 years based on six hours per day.
Advantages of LED barrel lamp
1. Energy saving: the energy consumption of white leds is only 1/10 of the incandescent bulb, and 2/5 of the energy-saving lamps, longevity: LED theory can last more than 100,000 hours, and the lighting of ordinary homes is a "once and for all".
2. Can work at high speed: the energy saving lamp can be blackened and quickly damaged if it is frequently started or shut off.
3. Solid state packaging: a type of cold light source. So it is easy to transport and install, can be installed in any micro and enclosed equipment, not afraid of vibration, the main consideration is heat dissipation.
4. The technology of LED lamps and lanterns is improving rapidly. Its luminous efficiency is making an amazing breakthrough and the price is decreasing continuously. An era of white LED lamps entering the family is rapidly approaching.
5. Environmental protection: harmful substances, such as mercury (Hg), do not cause damage to the environment. The assembly parts of LED lights can be removed very easily and can be recycled by other people without the manufacturer's recycling. LED does not contain infrared, uv, so it is not a bug.
6. Quick response: fast LED response, and eliminate the disadvantages of traditional high-pressure sodium lamp process.
Obviously, as long as the cost of LED lamps is decreasing with the increasing of LED technology. Energy-saving lamps and incandescent lamps will inevitably be replaced by LED lamps. The country is attaching more and more importance to the energy conservation and environmental protection issues, and has been vigorously promoting the use of LED lamps. In particular, the government's street lighting project, LED by LED lights, indicates that LED lamps can be used to replace energy-saving lamps and incandescent lamps. | [

Deborah Farley, a 53-year-old mother in Queens, was arrested today, a day after her second-grade son was caught in school with a.22-caliber semiautomatic pistol, a flare gun, and live ammunition in his backpack.
Farley notified the principal at Wave Preparatory Elementary School about two hours after dropping her son off for the day. She’d stashed the guns in his backpack previously and forgot about them.
When she returned home, another family member reminded her that her son had the guns, a 10-round magazine, and loose bullets in his bag. She rushed back and told the principal that she had to pull her son out of class. But according to the New York Daily News
, the child falsely told Farley that he’d given the weapons to someone else. Only then did she tell the principal, who notified police and put the school on lockdown.
Farley was charged today with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a weapon on school grounds, unlawful possession of a weapon, and endangering the welfare of a child. | [

Quinn, the Rottweiler- A Story of a Dog Dealing with Cancer is a charming little book about a beautiful canine. The story is told from Quinn the dog’s perspective and is a nice, feel-good tale in parts (at least when you consider Quinn enjoying his new and happy life with Maryly Turner and her pets)/5. The Darlings' own dog, a Rottweiler named Toby, was the model for the book's main character. Since then, two other Darling Rottweilers have posed as Carl in the seven sequels: the late Arambarri, who was named for one of the Darlings' favorite jai alai players; and Zabala, who currently moonlights as an Our Best Friend therapy dog, visiting.
This book briefly describes the history, characteristics, and behavior of the Rottweiler. Of all of the books that I've read concerning the Rottweiler, and I've read over a dozen, this book is by far the best. The information concerns training, diet, health, history, breeding just to name a few. It really is the Ultimate for information. My friend lent me his so I 5/5(5).
This book contains general and specific information that will appeal to both amateur and serious Rottweiler fanciers. Specific topics include history, breeding, grooming, showing, obedience, feeding and nutrition, health problems, and your veterinarian's role in your dog's health and general care.

The new F-Series articulated haulers from Volvo Construction Equipment not only meet the demanding standards set by the Tier 4i (US) and Stage IIIB (Europe) emissions legislation, but also feature a package of improvements in functionality, design, and maintenance. The F-Series ranges includes the 24 tonne A25F, 28 tonne A30F, 33.5 tonne A35F and 39 tonne A40F. Electronically controlled, six cylinder turbo charged Volvo V-ACT diesel engines feature high torque at low engine speeds, resulting in good fuel efficiency, high performance, quicker engine response and less wear, i.e. long service life. The power of engine for A25F model is 320 hp, for A30F - 360 hp, for A35F - 447 hp and for A40F - 475 hp. The engine in the drivetrain is matched to a torque converter with built in lock-up function and fitted with a fully automatic fast adaptive transmission. Its shafts, planetary gears and bearings are all reinforced to cope with the higher torque produced by the increased capacity engines. The new F-Series is not only more environmentally friendly, it is also more fuel efficient than the E-Series machines – by up to 4%.

From cute and fluffy Cockapoos to majestic and athletic German Shepherds, it’s tough to resist the urge to grab hold of a dog and smother it in kisses and hugs. Even the most stoic and stone-hearted people break into a smile when they pass a happy, tail-wagging golden retriever. It’s a fact that dogs bring joy to humans but man’s best friend can turn from cuddly to cutthroat in the blink of an eye, if they feel threatened.
Proving that domesticated dogs are still animals is the story of a 7-year-old girl in Highland Township, Michigan, who was attacked by dogs her parents had recently acquired from an animal shelter. The Detroit Free Press reported that the girl opened the gate to a dog pen containing 7 dogs, when 2 of the dogs attacked her and began biting at her neck and head. Her 6-year-old brother saw the dog attack and ran to get their mother, who wrestled the dogs away, but received a deep bite on her arm in the process. The girl’s worst dog bite injuries were to her neck and trachea. She was listed as in critical, but stable condition and thankfully recovered from her injuries
This dog bite story shouldn’t come as a surprise since, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), children are the most common victims of dog bites. More than 4.5 million people in the U.S. are bitten by dogs every year, and at least half of those bitten are children. This is most likely because children don’t realize the possible dangers of dogs. They only see an adorable puppy and play toy, not realizing that care should be taken while dealing with dogs.
National Dog Bite Prevention Week is always on the second week of April, which is April 8 - 14 for 2018. The purpose of this week’s spotlight is to help people realize how serious dog bite injuries can be. It’s important to remember that any dog can bite, from big to small and young to old. Before approaching any dog, the AVMA recommends that people pay attention to the behavior of the dog before engaging. The dog may not be friendly towards strangers or might be in distress and see the person as a threat, and feel the need to defend itself by attacking.
One way to help prevent a dog bite injury is to recognize risky dog attack situations. What many people don’t realize is that dog bites aren’t just caused by interacting with stray dogs, but also with dogs people are familiar with. People feel that because they have previously interacted with a dog, that there is no danger of a serious dog bite injury. But even the family dog may attack if it feels threatened.
Another mistake people make, is believing that a dog will act the same way every time. There are several reasons why a dog could act out, even if the dog hasn’t exhibited behavioral problems in the past. The more uncomfortable the dog feels, the more likely the risk of a dog attack and dog bite injuries. It’s also a safer idea to ask for the owner’s permission before engaging with a dog, and to allow the dog, not the human, to decide if it wants to interact with someone, even if a person has had pleasant interactions with that dog before.
If a dog is acting oddly or aggressively, the AVMA recommends breaking eye contact, calmly moving away from the dog, and not making any sudden movements or loud or high-pitched sounds, which could escalate the dog’s behavior. The AVMA includes several other tips on how to avoid dog attack accidents, which are listed below:
How To Avoid Dog Attack Accidents
It's important to know how to avoid escalating risky situations and to understand when you should and should not interact with dogs. You should avoid petting a dog in these scenarios:
- If the dog is not with its owner.
- If the dog is with its owner but the owner does not give permission to pet the dog.
- If the dog is on the other side of a fence – don't reach through or over a fence to pet a dog.
- If a dog is sleeping or eating.
- If a dog is sick or injured.
- If a dog is resting with her puppies or seems very protective of her puppies and anxious about your presence.
- If a dog is playing with a toy.
- If a dog is growling or barking.
- If a dog appears to be hiding or seeking time alone.
Dog bite accidents sound dangerous and that’s because they are. 1 in 5 people require medical attention after being bitten by a dog. Recognizing odd animal behavior is a good way to avoid a dog attack situation. By following the dog bite prevention tips above, people may be able to avoid costly emergency room medical bills and having to deal with a dog bite lawyer.

Chandeliers and Hanging Fixtures Leave about 66 inches from the floor to the bottom of a dining table fixture. This leaves enough room for a centerpiece and doesn’t block the sight lines of people at the table—but it still leaves the table well lit.

"When you can't find the sunshine, be the sunshine."
As a business owner, learning to be positive is so important. You must condition yourself to experience the highs and lows without losing your peace of mind. This can also go for your personal life; your positive mindset will determine how you will find a solution to your problems and how you will move forward.
With the significance of positivity in mind, I have put together 5 steps to take to begin manifesting your new, positive outlook!
Step #1 : Practice Positive Talk ----> Action: Find a mantra to repeat to yourself like this one :
"I am in charge of how I feel and today I am choosing happiness"
Step #2: Do Your Good Deeds ------> Action: Try to do 1 good deed minimum a day no matter how big or small. For example: compliment someone, help a co-worker with a project, volunteer for a few hours on a weekend
Step #3: Set Time Aside for Self Care -----> Action: Make sure you take care of yourself so you can shine your bright positivity light on others! Go to bed early, meditate, explore the outdoors, take a bath, etc. More refreshed, happier you = more positivity!
Step #4: Make Productivity a Priority -----> Action: Make a list and set a timer on all your tasks. Once you check some of these to-dos off your list, you will feel accomplished, thus allowing you to appreciate the process and have a more positive perspective on daily duties.
Step #5: Learn and Flourish -----> Action: Take time to learn and educate yourself on various topics. Whether it's on your industry, international news, astrology, organic cooking - whatever it is, completely take it in with an open mind. Allowing yourself to consume new information gives you endless opportunity to creativity and innovation, which cultivates a significant, positive light to peek into your every day life.
Why did I write about this you may ask? I have been really in touch with my astrological senses lately and reading up on my sign (Aquarius) and numerology a lot. This has opened my eyes to happier outcomes and manifesting my most positive mind, soul and emotions in order to get where I'd like to be. Not only has my horoscope been ON POINT lately, I have learned a lot about myself from the inside, out. (check out The Astro Twins to get your full reading) My goal is to harness this good energy to achieve my goals and make my life and the people in it centered around this bright light.
How do you hold on to your positivity?

Analytics with Ottimo
Technical facts reference library
Grab - and keep - your reader’s attention. Add these citations to your technical articles to make your message more convincing.
This is a collection of statistics that ercule maintains on behalf of its own SEO and technical writing content. It focuses mainly on the following areas:
- Data and data management
- Digital transformation
- IT security
- Cloud platform adoption, usage, and growth
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
- Open-source software
- Software quality
This list isn’t meant to be comprehensive. It’s merely a selection of the most relevant statistics for our clients, whose businesses are spread across the categories listed above.
How to use this resource
You may peruse or use your browser’s search function to find a relevant fact to cite in your technical content or technical marketing materials.
Every report is linked to the original source of the statistic instead of an intermediary page. The Report metadata section at the bottom contains information about the reports themselves, including:
- The methodology used to collect or calculate data
- How often the report is updated
- Any other pertinent facts that might be relevant. For example, whether a report breaks out their answers further by industry, region, etc.
We endeavor to keep these statistics up to date. If you notice a discrepancy or have a link to a later version of a cited report, please let us know.
Guidelines for using statistics to engage readers and build trust
- Use a couple of key statistics relevant to your article topic in the introduction and throughout the article to keep readers engaged. Cite relevant statistics related to to problem your product solves. For example, if your product is data-related, cite statistics around the growing volume of data, data quality issues, compliance penalty costs, etc.
- Reference authority links, i.e., the original source of the statistic. Referencing authority links is a tried-and-true SEO tactic that boosts search engine placement. But it also builds trust with readers, as they can see where you obtained your information from.
- Don’t cite statistics without references. In particular, don’t cite Web sites that publish statistics without links to the original sources.
- In particular, avoid citing Statista as a “source.” Statista is a statistics collation cite and its information is based on other sources, which it hides from non-subscribers. Only reference one of their sources if you have a Statista subscription and can see the underlying source, or can find the primary source elsewhere.
- Always check the sample size and regionality of the data to ensure the information is relevant to your target audience. How many people were surveyed to produce a statistic? Were they all sampled from a single geographic region? Do the numbers look different if you break them down by region instead?
Data and data management
Volume of data
IDC data report (November 2018)
- Amount of data by 2025: 175 zetabytes
- Global datasphere to double between 2022 and 2026
- Data volumes growing an average 63 percent per month or more.
- Companies drawing from an average of 400 or more sources, with 20 percent or more drawing from 1,000 or more sources.
- One trend driving the growth of big data is the rapid growth of social media.
- 87.8% of orgs surveyed reported increasing their investment in data in 2022
- However, only 23.9% of companies consider themselves “data-driven”; only 20.6% say they have created a data culture in their organization.
Cost of data
In 1985, storing 1TB of data would have cost you $31.39M. In 2022, it cost an average of $14.30 to store 1TB on magnetic media ($49.50 for solid-state storage).
- 42% of respondents indicated at least half of their data is dark data.
Veritas - Dark data (August 2023) [NOTE: not well-sourced]
- Over 50% of a company’s data is “dark” - i.e., not used and not maintained.
- Over 90% of IT leaders surveyed said it was challenging transforming data for analytics.
Data governance and compliance
Data governance management and investment
- 82.6% of companies have a Chief Data Officer - explosive growth from 2012, when only 12% did.
- By 2024, 75% of world’s population will have its personal data covered under privacy regulations
- Up from 10% in 2020 and an estimated 65% by EoY 2023
- Around 70% of all businesses say that compliance and governance are top concerns they have with the cloud. 71% of Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) say that Compliance is a concern with cloud systems.

Psychosis is a mental disorder that involves hallucinations and delusions. People might hear, see, or taste things differently. They might believe things that are rationally not true. It can affect an individual’s perception, emotions, and behavior. Psychosis is multifactorial and is triggered by severe depression, schizophrenia, stress, traumatic experiences, brain tumors, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and bipolar disorder.
Early diagnosis and treatment of psychosis have better outcomes. The treatment involves antipsychotic medication, psychosis therapy, and social support. Psychosis usually affects people in their mid-20s; however, it can also affect people at a young or old age.
Causes Of Psychosis
Psychosis is multifactorial and does not have a definite cause. Stress, severe depression, and anxiety are other factors that trigger it.
- Bipolar Disorder
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Sleep deprivation
- Drug abuse
- Alcohol abuse
Signs And Symptoms Of Psychosis

- Confused and irrational thinking
- Intense feelings
- Decreased self-care or personal hygiene
- Difficulty communicating
- Decreased job performance
- No motivation

Treatment Of Psychosis

Psychological Treatment: The psychological treatment plan is formulated as per the individual’s recovery goals. It helps patients develop resilience and cope. Psychosis therapy helps the patient deal with anxiety. The two most common psychological therapies are:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): The therapy helps people understand why they are distressed and apply coping mechanisms. The therapy replaces your irrational thinking with a more rational attitude. The therapist will help you reduce the stress. It focuses on immediate, practical solutions to specific needs rather than dwelling on the history of causes. CBT focuses on replacing self-destructive behaviors with positive ones.
The therapist will use role-playing, journaling, and visualization to overcome damaging cognitive behavior patterns. CBT is effective for both immediate and long-term healing. It is the best treatment choice for early recovery.
Family Therapy prepares both you and your family to deal with your condition. Psychosis will affect your family members more than you. The person with psychosis might need the care and support of the family. The family must learn how to tackle such a condition.
- The family learns about the condition and its complications.
- How to support
- How to manage psychotic episodes
Group Therapy: Though people with psychosis prefer to be isolated, being with similar people will help them open up and talk about their thinking. Group therapy can have the following modalities:
Process-sensitive groups: It helps the patient see them more clearly. The unconscious group processes are examined. It visualizes healing as an extension of the healing of people within the group.
Directive approach: This approach involves setting goals and making direct interventions.
Heterogeneous groups: This includes people with a variety of mental health conditions. Though it is more complex, it also provides a lot of opportunities for relationships that can benefit the group.
Homogenous group: This includes individuals with similar issues, goals, and backgrounds. Creates cohesion and relatability quickly.
Psychodynamic Therapy: This therapy deals with the unconscious mind, interpersonal relationships, and early childhood experiences. It is also called “insight-oriented therapy”. It is one of the oldest therapies. This therapy helps you reflect on how unresolved conflicts affect your current behavior.
A deep understanding helps you find solutions to your disruptive behavior and inner turmoil. The therapy is highly effective for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders. The therapy enhances your self-esteem, increases your tolerance, and results in strength awareness.
Relational Therapy: Interpersonal relationships have a profound impact on mental well-being. In such cases, relational therapy is preferred. This therapy involves exploring social interactions, sociocultural factors, and childhood experiences. This therapy helps you healthily relate to yourself and others. The therapist creates a supportive, trusting alliance with the client that helps them understand how a positive relationship functions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy: The therapy involves self-reflective and skill-based intervention. The patient develops mindfulness, which allows him to observe and participate in a non-judgmental way in his present environment. It also decreases emotional volatility. The therapist will help develop a stress tolerance. The patient will gain control over their thoughts, actions, and feelings. It teaches how to participate in a | [

As a driving force behind the cultural advancement of a prosperous socialist society, pioneers in literature and art in China will need to take on the challenges posed by the Belt and Road initiative against the backdrop of a rapidly changing geopolitical situation amid the global coronavirus outbreak
For that reason, there is a need for the organizations on the front line of new culture and art to participate in more training, exhibitions and other activities related to the Belt and Road Initiative, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) proposed.
This will effectively help raise the artists’ political awareness and evoke their proactivity in creation
Dong Xiyuan, a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC
The revolution of internet technologies and the emergence of the new media have spawned a wave of new art forms that heralded a paradigm change to the cultural and art concept and practices as expounded by Chinese President Xi Jinping in the Symposium of Literature and Art in Oct 2014. Accompanying the shift is a batch of neo-artists forming themselves into distinct groups and organizations.
Dong Xiyuan, a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC, submitted a proposal, advocating the establishment of systematic training programs for the new-wave artists to expose them to the Belt and Road Initiative. “This will effectively help raise the artists’ political awareness and evoke their proactivity in creation, and ultimately spark the creativity of both Chinese and international artists to produce more exceptional art works featuring the Belt and Road concept,” said Dong.

Dong has also proposed to leverage the potential of the neo-artists’ existing art venues and institutions, including personal art galleries, art museums, and art centers, to provide a novel platform for Belt and Road art exchange. Dong perceives the emerging wave of artists as the new force in the cause of advancing the art and cultural interaction between China and other participating counties in the Belt and Road Initiative.

Chinese foreign exchange administrative departments are playing a pivotal role in collaborating with Chinese embassies in the Belt and Road countries to achieve fruitful art and cultural exchanges, Dong said. The relevant departments have a dual role to play, he said. One is “pushing the Chinese artists to step out of the boundaries” by creating art exchange opportunities. The other is to “cordially invite foreign artists to come to China” by exhibiting the exemplary works of Chinese artists.
Most freelance artists who do not rely on social support often feel deprived of venues for exhibition or performance, an issue to which Dong, who considers himself a freelance, can easily relate. Dong proposed to the relevant departments to implement policies to help freelance artists find exhibition or performance venues by “making full use of idle and vacant premises.” Financial sponsorship is equally important in helping freelance artists in their quest for artistic excellence, he adds.
On a different note, Dong said he has been working on a painting that pays tribute to the heat detoxification soup invented by Chinese doctors to combat the COVID-19. The brew’s efficacy has been widely recognized. “I hope to use my artistic skill to depict the essence of traditional Chinese medicine and document its effectiveness in the COVID-19 treatment,” said Dong, adding that he has received encouragement and inspiration after listening to Premier Li Keqiang’s government work report on May 22. Li gave recognition to the crucial role of traditional Chinese medicine, accentuating the need to further develop and perfect the discipline.

In the right situation, quarantining can be a splendid idea. Many, I have noticed, suggest it in the current Ebola crisis(?). Someone mentioned to me the other day that quarantining is often used in the Christian world. The Independent Baptist world, for the record, contains some of its greatest practicitioners.
Before we consider it in a religious context, we must remember what the goal of quarantining always is. A disease is cordoned off so that it might not spread. The idea is to keep it out.
In a most bizarre twist, many in certain groups use it to keep it in. That’s right! They work to keep the disease in!
They have some unscriptural ideas that they do not want to get out. They have some particular standard or church practice that they deem essential and they quarantine those inside their own circles from all others who might hold a different point of view. (The quarantining of those in the group who disagree is a subject for another day). That one who disagrees on some dress or music standard must be ignored, shunned, and never listened to. In that they think they are so right, it seems odd that they would quarantine those they deem to be well! It would be like quarantining all the Americans who don’t have Ebola and putting them in medical facilities while letting the two or three that do have the run of the country. I guess it could work, but it seems the long way around.
I suspect that in the churches I speak of the real reason for quarantining is never mentioned. What is it? Their great distinctive point cannot be easily defended with Scripture or logic, so they must quarantine so real, tough, honest questions can never get to their ears. Deep down they know how hopeless the cause they champion would be! It is a position diseased Scripturally. Quarantining is they last wall of defense where unquestioned position live.
I say quarantine disease away, but never truth. Truth is not diseased and needs no medical intervention. Let it stand for it never stumbles. It is too strong to ever fear. There are cases where fear makes no sense and truth is one of them. I don’t fear dandruff (it takes hair to have it!). Let it out and all will be healthier; that is if you really have it.

Jaundice in newborns occurs when the liver isn’t working as it should, causing the skin and eyes to turn yellow. While this condition is harmless in most cases, there are certain home remedies that can help treat it while you wait on the doctor to give you an actual diagnosis. Here are some of those home remedies that can help treat jaundice in newborns and at home until you can get to the doctor’s office with your baby.
Introducing the Problem: What is Jaundice?
Jaundice is a condition that causes a newborn’s skin and the whites of their eyes to have a yellowish tint. It can be caused by an excess of bilirubin, which is created as the body breaks down old red blood cells. In most cases, jaundice is harmless, but it can cause problems if left untreated. The best way to tell if your baby has jaundice is to take a look at their skin and eyes. If they have an orange tint to their skin and yellowish whites of their eyes, it’s likely they are suffering from jaundice. Below you’ll find some home remedies that may help with symptoms of jaundice
Why do Newborns get Jaundice?
The yellow discoloration of the skin and eyes is caused by elevated bilirubin levels. Bilirubin is a pigment released during the breakdown of red blood cells and it can be passed on to the newborn during pregnancy or when breast milk is not fully digested. It is also common for newborns to have jaundice if they are born before 37 weeks gestation or too small at birth.
If you are concerned that your baby has jaundice, it’s best to consult with your pediatrician who will check your baby’s bilirubin levels. If they are high, they might order an exchange transfusion which will remove the excess bilirubin from the body and reduce symptoms.
Signs that Your Newborn May Have Jaundice
Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes is usually a signs of jaundice in newborn. This condition happens when the baby’s liver isn’t fully developed, so it can’t process bilirubin, which is a yellowish-brown substance that comes from old red blood cells. The following are home tips to treat jaundice in newborns:
- Make sure your baby gets plenty of rest.
- Ensure that your baby eats well with frequent feedings.
- Check on your infant frequently to make sure they are comfortable and not too hot.
- Be aware of their mood; babies who have jaundice may be cranky and irritable because they’re uncomfortable.
- Take their temperature if you notice an increase in fever.
- If your newborn seems very lethargic or stops eating as much, call your pediatrician immediately.
Home Remedies for Jaundice
There are several home remedies that can be used to treat jaundice in newborns. Keep in mind that these will not work on every baby, but may help with some of the symptoms.
- The first thing you should do is make sure your baby is positioned so the light from a window or lamp shines on their face. The sunlight helps to clear bilirubin from their skin and eyes.
- Make sure you’re breastfeeding your baby if possible as this will help with the levels of bilirubin as well as provide them with important nutrients to promote healthy growth and development.
- You can also try feeding your baby fresh fruit or vegetables like green beans, peas, or carrots. These foods contain natural enzymes which help break down the fatty acids in the liver which release excess bilirubin.
- Foods like strawberries, papaya, and mango have natural chemicals which have been shown to reduce hyperbilirubinemia by as much as 80%.
- Warm bath: Run a warm bath for your baby. Once they’re settled into it pat dry gently then wrap them up in a towel until they stop dripping before putting clothes back on.
- Apply pressure: Placing gentle pressure over specific points along an infant’s head and neck has been known to relieve pain associated with jaundice due to its ability to stimulate certain nerve endings.
When to Seek Medical Attention?
If you are worried about the color of your newborn’s skin and want to know what this could mean, it is important to first make sure that he or she is not one of the few babies that have a birthmark. If the baby has a birthmark, then there is nothing to worry about and he or she will change colors soon. If your baby does not have a birthmark, then you may want to consider seeking medical attention for jaundice treatment as soon as possible. The symptoms can vary depending on the severity of the condition, but often times they include yellowing of the skin and eyes, dark urine, and pale stools. In some cases, jaundice can lead to brain damage if left | [

My Silkie hen went broody for about 4 weeks and then she started laying again. So I started gathering eggs and I set them in the incubator 5 days ago. It looks like only one is fertile as I see a air sack. I had a bunch of eggs I set before this batch and not one was fertile. The batch before that and my first batch I have ever set I only got 3 out of the eight eggs were fertile and I have those babies now they are almost 5 weeks old. So what gives........ why such low fertility, I only have 1 hen and one rooster and another rooster that has not developed due to being in close proximity to the other rooster. Looks like the very last egg I gathered is the one that is developing. I have one more egg she laid about 2 days ago should I stick it in the incubator? I am on day 5 now I know they say you can add one more egg the next day but not after that. I will have to go buy a chick if I only get one to hatch....... uggggh what do you think is going on and what should I do?.... fire my rooster! | [

WASHINGTON We are now witnessing a determined counterattack by the Obama administration and its political allies on the matter of health care costs. Many critics (including me) have argued that President Obama’s “reform” agenda wouldn’t control rapidly rising health spending and might speed it up. The logic is simple. People with insurance use more health services than those without. If government insures 30 million or more Americans, health spending will rise. Greater demand will press on limited supply; prices will increase. The best policy: Control spending first; then expand coverage.
But the administration insists it can insure most of the uninsured and tackle runaway health spending simultaneously. There’s so much waste in today’s health care system that both goals can be pursued together, Peter Orszag, head of the Office of Management and Budget, has said.
Two new reports by liberal advocacy groups echo that claim. The first, from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, contends that lower Medicare reimbursement rates to hospitals and other providers can pay for about half of the $900 billion or so government cost over a decade of expanded health benefits. Critics (again, including me) have said that Congress would put the Medicare cuts in today and might repeal some or all of them in the future. Nonsense, says the study. Congress has allowed many past reductions in Medicare reimbursements to take effect.
Even more upbeat is a joint report from the Center for American Progress Action Fund (CAP) and the Commonwealth Fund arguing that savings from the bills’ cost-cutting provisions have been underestimated. One measure would push hospitals to reduce readmission rates; some “bundled payments” between doctors and hospitals would encourage coordinated care; taxes on gold-plated insurance plans would deter overspending. Health costs would be lower than expected: Medicare “savings” would total $576 billion over a decade (about $200 billion more than estimated by the Congressional Budget Office, which mostly counted lower reimbursement rates); the federal deficit would drop up to $459 billion over a decade; and health care “savings” for typical families would total about $2,500 by 2019.
Who’s right? Let’s start with the numbers. Unfortunately, the word “savings” is used misleadingly. It doesn’t mean (as is usual) actual reductions; it signifies smaller future increases. There’s a big difference.
In 2009, national health spending will total an estimated $2.5 trillion, or 17.7 percent of gross domestic product. By 2019, it’s projected to rise to $4.67 trillion under present policies, or 22.1 percent of GDP. With CAP’s “savings,” it rises a little less sharply to $4.49 trillion, or 21.3 percent of GDP, according to Harvard economist David Cutler, the study’s co-author who provided these figures. Similarly, family health insurance premiums rise from 19 percent of median family income in 2009 to 25 percent in 2019 under present policies and 23 percent with CAP’s “savings.”
The point is simple: Even with highly optimistic assumptions, health spending remains out of control. It absorbs more of government, business and family budgets. Higher health spending would put pressure on future budget deficits, already projected to total about $9 trillion over the next decade. If new taxes and Medicare “savings” are real, they could be used exclusively to pay down deficits, not finance new spending.
But many may not be real. Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Jeffrey Flier, dean of the Harvard Medical School, gave the various health bills a “failing grade” and said they wouldn’t “control the growth of costs or raise the quality of care.” Quoted in Newsweek, Dr. Delos Cosgrove, head of the Cleveland Clinic, said much the same. Richard Foster, the chief actuary of the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, doubts the cost-saving provisions touted by CAP would save much money. He’s also skeptical that Congress, facing complaints from hospitals and a squeeze on services, would allow all the Medicare reimbursement cuts to take effect. True, Congress has permitted some reimbursement reductions to occur but has repeatedly blocked the Sustainable Growth Rate adjustment for doctors, which most resembles the new proposals.
Health cost increases might spontaneously recede, but history suggests skepticism. The relentless advances reflect an open-ended insurance and delivery system that gives neither patients nor providers any reason to restrain spending. To attack costs first would be politically challenging. It would require admitting that all good things are not possible simultaneously and that the uninsured already receive much medical care. It would require genuine bipartisanship, not just a scramble for a few Republican votes. And it would require stronger measures to dismantle a fee-for-service delivery system that now rewards more, not better, care. That’s a demanding and realistic approach; Obama’s is wishful thinking.

RE: Coach's comment to you at practice.
A: I broke a couple and I was a little slow coming back to the huddle. He said, ‘You're not used to getting that many carries.' I was like, ‘I'll try to get used to it.'
Q: It looked at the end of the run like you were favoring your hamstring.
A: No, no, no. I'm fine. It was just they said finish it 25 yards down the field. I finished down there.
Q: Jerry Reese spoke about you after the draft and he compared you to Derrick Ward. And said that you wore 24 but you looked like 34 out there. Do you see that comparison?
A: Derrick Ward was a great back here. Thank you for the comparisons. I'm going to just go out here and play the game that I know how to play. If they want me to be that back, I can. I'm going to go out here and work hard and try to do anything I can to help this team out to get to a championship.
Q: How would you describe yourself – your style of running?
A: I'm a downhill type of back with good hands. Coach told me that I had good hands, so I guess I'm going to ride off Coach that I have good hands.
Q: Are you equally comfortable running or catching?
A: Oh yeah, I did a lot of that in college. I'm comfortable catching the ball and just running with the ball.
Q: Your running backs coach (Jason Swepson) played for Coughlin (at Boston College). Did he tell you that? Did he give you any suggestions about what to expect?
A: He told me to go out there and work hard. I just got off the phone with him. He asked how practice went. He said to just remember to keep fin ishing runs. Just when you think you have given enough, give more. That is all it is, is just coming out here and keep working hard.

Automotive brakes are of two general classes, namely hydraulic fluid operated and air pressure operated. Air pressure operated brakes have found wide application in heavy vehicles due to the convenience of transmitting compressed air from the point of control to the point of application. One popular type of air-pressure operated brakes, particularly on trucks, tractors and semi-trailers, is a cam actuated brake in which a push rod from an air actuating chamber mechanically displaces a cam through a slack adjuster which, in turn, amplifies the force and transmits it to the brake shoes. Another well-known type of air pressure operated brakes is a wedge actuated brake.
One of the problems encountered in air brakes is the provision of safe parking brakes when the air pressure had dissipated after engine shutdown or upon separation of the semi-trailer from the tractor. A widely used solution to the parking brake problem is the provision of a spring-engaged, air-released parking brake integrated with the air actuated service brake. In this system, release of the spring-actuated parking brakes is impossible until air pressure is available to perform it. Thus, the condition of a runaway vehicle completely lacking brakes is avoided.
Air brakes are necessarily relatively expensive compared to hydraulic brakes due to the need for air compressors, hoses and other accessories such as valves, relays and controls. In large vehicles, however, manual pedal input alone is insufficient to generate the magnitude of hydraulic fluid pressure needed to adequately actuate the brakes. Several types of boosted hydraulic brakes are employed which augment the manual input using air or fluid pressure or vacuum controlled by the manual input to achieve the required hydraulic pressure. One type of boosted hydraulic brake system employs the hydraulic pressure available from a power steering system to boost the operator's mechanical input force to the higher levels necessary to apply the brakes of truck vehicles. In this type of system, the power steering fluid is circulated through a booster which, when actuated by the operator's control substantially increases the fluid pressure in the brake fluid lines as compared to manual input alone. As in air brake systems, the mechanical output of the brake cylinder can be applied to cam operated or wedge operated brakes. Also as in the air brakes, the problem of providing a parking brake remains. In another type of boosted hydraulic brake system, hydraulic pressure of hydraulic transmission fluid from an automatic transmission fluid is used to boost the operator's mechanical input force to apply the service brakes and to release the parking brakes.
A spring-applied, fluid-release parking brake, similar in principle to the parking brake employed in air pressure systems is combined with the hydraulic service brakes to economically and compactly provide parking brakes in a cam operated hydraulically actuated brake system. The parking brake actuator and the service brake cylinder operate through a common linkage to actuate the cam operated brakes.
Hydraulic fluid is employed in the brake cylinder whereas power steering fluid is employed in the parking brake. These two materials are incompatible with each other and must be maintained separate from each other.
In both air and hydraulic systems, the problem of brake compounding can occur. Brake compounding is defined as the condition under which the force applied by the parking brakes is added to the force applied by the service brakes to the linkage, slack adjusters, drums and brakes. This can easily occur in either system when the service brakes are applied while in parking brakes are engaged. Compounding of forces in this manner could cause overstressing of brake components and brake drums. In air systems, anti-compounding is employed using a valve which transfers control of the brakes from one source of air pressure to another and thus avoids the additive application of force to the brakes. A simple two-way check valve is commonly employed for this purpose. A simple transfer mechanism such as a two-way check valve is not used in hydraulic brake systems because of the incompatibility of the hydraulic brake fluid with the other dissimilar fluid.
The present invention solves the problem of compounding of parking brake and service brake forces in a combined hydraulic brake system. An anti- | [

The most heavily trafficked neighborhood in New York also happens to be one of the biggest economic hubs in the United States, according to a recent study. The Times Square Alliance and HR&A Analyst Inc. teamed up on a report on the economic impact of Times Square. The report, which can be downloaded from their website, showcases the dreaded tourist district as one of the largest economic powerhouses in New York and all of the United States.
Here’s some interesting facts:
- Times Square pulled in $110 billion in 2011 for New York City.
- Economic activity has increased by $20 billion ($90 billion in 2007) despite a sluggish economy.
- There are 170,000 jobs in the district—including workers in the 29 million square feet of office space within the blocks.
- Times Square’s economy trumps that of both the Portland and Pittsburgh metro areas (individually, not combined).
- There were 48.7 million visitors to New York that generated $31 billion in income.
- 21% of hotel rooms in New York are in Times Square with 17,000 rooms.
- There are 230 advertising signs that bring in over $60 million a year.
The best part? The report notes that Times Square helps cut the gap between New York City and Orlando tourism. There was about a four million gap in 2006 and only three and change in 2010. (Don’t tell that to Mayor Bloomberg.)

Growing up, Bailey learned about engineering by refurbishing his
family's electronics, including his sisters' hair dryers. At WHOI, he
took along his wife's hair dryer to warm rubber connectors on "Camper," a deep-sea robot he built for a 2007 research expedition to the Arctic.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and African Americans are about 50 percent more likely to experience them than Caucasians. The odds are especially high for black men at 70 percent.
African Americans stroke survivors fare worse than other groups, too: They are more likely to become disabled by stroke and unable to participate in everyday activities like walking, lifting or grasping objects, and socializing with others.
What's the Problem?
African Americans generally have similar or even lower levels of total cholesterol than white and Hispanic Americans—relatively good news. Experts believe that the increased stroke risks result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as high blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes, coronary heart disease, and a sedentary lifestyle—all major stroke risk factors.
African Americans Have More Stroke Risk Factors
More than 40 percent of African Americans have high blood pressure (defined as 140/90 mmHg or more); they tend to develop hypertension at an earlier age, and it usually is more severe and results in more complications.
African Americans are also more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes and coronary heart disease. And in 2009, African Americans were 50% more likely to be obese than non-hispanic whites; among black women, specifically, the odds were 60%.
Weight gain starts early: A 2007-2008 report showed that African American children ages 6 to 17 were already 30% more likely to be obese than non-hispanic whites. Obesity is itself a risk factor for stroke; it also contributes strongly to diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
African Americans Receive Less Medical Care
African Americans are also more likely to have a lower socioeconomic status, and so may be less likely to eat healthy, higher-priced foods; have health insurance; and get regular checkups that could potentially detect and treat hypertension before it escalates.
About one in 500 African Americans will also inherit sickle cell disease, a blood disorder that affects people of African, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Indian, and Central- and South-American descents and causes red blood cells to form into a sickle, or crescent shape. Strokes can occur when sickle cells get stuck in blood vessels and clog the flow of blood to the brain, as does happen in about 10% of children with sickle cell disease.
Stroke Education: Knowledge is Power
Even though African Americans are the population at highest risk, research shows that many don’t know very much about strokes. In a 2003 study of adults living near Cincinnati, Ohio, for example, elderly African American men had significant gaps in knowledge about stroke risk factors and warning signs, although they are a high-risk group.
Similarly, a 2010 study surveyed African Americans living in Mississippi about stroke symptoms, and found that many people did not know how lifestyle factors—such as lack of physical activity, excessive alcohol consumption, diabetes, smoking, and high cholesterol—contribute to stroke risk.
More than half also did not know that calling 911 right away was the most appropriate way to respond to stroke symptoms. And time does matter. If given within 3 hours of the start of symptoms, a clot-busting drug called tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) may reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke, according to the American Stroke Association.
The study authors determined that African-American communities need to be better educated about stroke risk, and suggest that black churches, schools, and the media play a crucial role in delivering information.
Protecting Your Health
Knowing your family history of stroke and its risk factors and communicating your racial and ethnic background to your doctor is an important part of determining your true stroke risk, especially because skin color and facial features aren’t always good indicators of your ethnic heritage.
The best ways to protect yourself are the same no matter what your race or ethnicity. Here's what you can do:
- Be physically active.
- Enjoy a low-sodium diet (Consume no more than 1,500 mg sodium per day).
- Eat healthy foods low in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol.
- Avoid drinking alcohol in excess.
- Shed excess weight.
- Don’t smoke.
- Work with your doctor to manage high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol.
- Ask whether you have atrial fibrillation or circulation problems—two additional risk factors for stroke.
- See your doctor for a thorough checkup at least once a year.
As you adopt healthy habits, encourage your family members and friends to take steps to prevent stroke. Together, you can help reverse the trend.

Long ago, I wrote a story about a little girl named Molloy Warrick, aka Molly. My intent at the time was for it to be profusely illustrated, and so I did a number of studies. Today I made another one–watercolor this time–and in honor of revisiting this theme, I’ve opened a new page for Molly under the Projects tab. For now, there are just a few of the studies I’ve made.
It’s been a little while since I rounded up my drawings, probably because I’ve been covering some uneven ground and creating work I’m not sure how to evaluate. Subject matter has shifted, broadened maybe, but I also feel as if I have been more hurried lately. I haven’t written much either, though I have given thought–and a few scribbled sketches–to visually mapping a recent story idea. It’s a stretch for me to think that way, to decide where words and image might unite to build a better story, but it’s where I’d like to be going just now.
Inspiration is flowing in from Twin Peaks, Jayne Anne Phillips short story collection Black Tickets, Boulet’s X-Files drawings on Instagram and Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. There’s something about that magical passage between worlds that really appeals to me; I have dreams like that. In fact, I had a somewhat threatening version of that just a few nights ago. You can sure count on David Lynch to help you dredge up all your inner darkness…. | [

The latest addition to the University of East Anglia’s (UEA) campus is a development of 514 ensuite student residences, with 48 kitchens and ample dining and social spaces. The two 4-7 storey main buildings, Barton House and Hickling House, almost mirror one another with a central courtyard housing a cafe and laundrette.
The 514 rooms were constructed in only 62 weeks. The Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) superstructure was finished in only 17 weeks, with specialist solid wood supplier – KLH UK – operating a four-team, four-crane approach, that included the installation of 520 pre-manufactured bathroom pods.
The project was built to an extremely fast programme by embracing an innovative CLT frame, leveraging the latest digital technology and collaborating with academic partners at the forefront of timber research to deliver an efficient connection design. Utilising CLT construction was key in realising this fast-paced programme. At seven storeys tall, the project is one of the tallest CLT buildings in the world.
The design of a building can be critical to the well-being of its occupants. Much has been written about the impact construction can have on the environment but very little on the effect a building can have on its occupants. The influence building materials can have on the comfort and well-being of end users is an area where more research is required and even here, evidence is now emerging about the role CLT can play in enhancing and improving internal environments.
Trevor Price, Partner at LSI Architects who were involved in the project said:
“The Blackdale Student Residences development will join one of a number of our buildings that have been constructed using Cross Laminated Timber, not just because of its ability to greatly accelerate the construction process but also because of its credentials as a more sustainable method of construction. The timber panels capture and store carbon which helps the building achieve high standards of sustainability and offset carbon emissions.”
Nic Clark, Managing Director of KLH UK will be presenting a case study of this award-winning project at Solid Wood Solutions.
Nic will be joined at Solid Wood Solutions by an outstanding speaker line-up that includes: Kevin Flanagan – PLP Architecture, Kelly Harrison – Heyne Tillett Steel, David Lomax – Waugh Thistleton Architects, Jonathan Roynon – Buro Happold, John Spittle – Wiehag, Giancarlo Torpiano – Arup and Gavin White – Ramboll.
We are currently in the process of finalising our date and venue for the 2018 Solid Wood Solutions event. To register your interest, email ‘Register my interest in Solid Wood Solutions’ to amy.pryce(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)radar-communications.co.uk

No matter the industry you’re in, product teams of all shapes and sizes are faced with the same fundamental question every day:
"What are we going to build next for our customers?"
Whether it’s iterating existing products and features to improve user experience, discovering ways to stand out in a competitive market, or just building the next big thing, everyone in the product team is constantly looking for the magic wand that helps them quickly understand how their customers and the market perceive their solutions so they can build the product strategy that helps their company win.
The good news is that there is plenty of data to help answer that question. Whether it’s customer calls, support tickets, usability testing, surveys, NPS scores, and more, there are plenty of ways you can listen to what your customer is saying. But how do you make sense of all of that data without drowning in spreadsheets? How do you avoid the pitfalls of recency bias without wasting valuable development cycles trying to gather and analyze disparate data sets?
From the beginning, Dovetail has been on a journey to become the customer insights hub for product teams - the single source of truth for all of your customer knowledge to help you build products people love. But just because all of your customer data lives in Dovetail doesn’t automatically make it useful. That’s why we have been focusing on delivering the magic wand your teams need to uncover the insights hidden in your messy customer data, and share them with stakeholders to drive alignment. In this blog we will explore the ways our solutions delivers on that promise.
Qualitative customer interviews (such as sales calls, usability tests, and others) are a treasure trove of valuable insights. However, these data points are also the most time-intensive to analyze. It seems that every video conferencing solution can spit out a basic transcript, but the reality is that no one has the time to comb through these assets and pull out key themes and takeaways.
Dovetail got its start as a powerful transcription solution, but we have delivered more features that magically transform this unstructured data into the insights you need:
When you upload a call into Dovetail, you can generate a summary of the transcript, complete with timestamps that quickly bring you to the sections that matter most to you.
We’ve also introduced features that help reduce the time it takes to further analyze the rich data points that you uncover in your data. Magic cluster reviews all of the highlights in a canvas view, and using AI classifies them into thematic groups. Decrease the time you spend trying to make sense of highlights across various sources, and let Dovetail give you the map to finding the treasure lying buried in your data.
No good product decision was made in a silo. That’s why Dovetail is creating magic in not only the way you uncover insights in your data but also how you share those insights across a variety of teams and stakeholders to drive the alignment needed to successfully build and launch products.
Ever wasted time trying to finesse all of your customer feedback into a consumable format? What if you could just let the customer speak for themselves? Dovetail lets you do that by magically stitching together video highlights and creating engaging reels that literally bring the voice of your customer to life. No video editing experience required!
Now that you’ve got this magic highlight reel, you need to be able to share it and meet your stakeholders where they are. Dovetail has built integrations that ensure those reels can still pack a punch with minimal effort. Quickly share highlight reels via our embed link, which makes them instantly playable in tools like Slack, Notion, or wherever your team works. No troubleshooting needed from your side, it’s just magic!
But what about teams that need to ensure compliance with sensitive customer data? It can be even more time-intensive to redact transcripts and blur video, effectively creating a barrier to sharing those insights that are simply too high to scale. But not with Dovetail! Our magic redact capabilities magically give you the power of a seasoned video editor, and help you instantly blur videos and redact sections of your transcript so you don’t have to hold back valuable insights from the rest of your org.
Magic redact is currently in an open beta for all customers on an Enterprise plan with Dovetail (learn how to opt-in). If you are a current customer on any other plan, and interested in trying out magic redact, contact our sales team.
While this has been a great start, we have been listening to our customers who want to decrease the time spent on analyzing and sharing insights even more. That’s why we are excited to harness the power of AI and ML technologies to magically transform the way our users:

The end of the Nagorno-Karabakh War that was brought about by Armenia’s sudden Russian-facilitated surrender following its total defeat on the battlefield is the perfect time for reviewing why so many folks in the Alt-Media Community got it all wrong, clarifying the state of affairs as they exist after this conflict’s conclusion, and forecasting what might come next for the South Caucasus.
Azerbaijan’s Glorious Victory
The Nagorno-Karbakh War finally ended as a result of Armenia’s sudden Russian-facilitated surrender following its total defeat on the battlefield. The agreement that was reached between the Azerbaijani, Russian, and Armenian leaders can be read here on the official website of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It provides for the deployment of Russian peacekeepers along the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh and the Lachin Corridor in parallel with the Armenian forces’ withdrawal from the universally recognized Azerbaijani territory that it had illegally occupied for nearly three decades. The Russian peacekeepers will remain there for five years but could have their mission extended for more five-year intervals pending the approval of both Armenia and Azerbaijan. Either one of them, however, can declare their intent to terminate the agreement six months prior to the expiration of its term (as is likely to happen). Although not mentioned in the actual deal itself, Azerbaijani President Aliyev also said that Turkish peacekeepers will jointly carry out activities with Russia.
Additionally, the agreement allows for the return of all refugees and internally displaced people to the formerly occupied territories, as well as an exchange of prisoners, bodies, and other such humanitarian procedures. It can therefore be said that the deal will inevitably result in the full implementation of the four UNSC Resolutions on the matter (822, 853, 874, 884), but it interestingly goes a bit further than just that. The last of the nine terms concerns the creation of a corridor between the western regions of Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic via southern Armenia. Control over transport communication will be carried out by the Russian Border Guard Service, which highlights the crucial role that the Eurasian Great Power is playing in this visionary arrangement. All told, the deal represents an amazing victory for Azerbaijan, one which wouldn’t have happened without perfect unity between its President, Armed Forces, and people. They stood strong for nearly 30 years, concentrated on liberating their occupied territories, and finally fulfilled this legendary task.
A Clear Track Record Of Analytical Accuracy
The author took a very keen interest in their ultimately victorious counteroffensive since it began in late September, publishing 36 analytical articles about everything from the conflict’s history to the latest military dynamics and even the grand strategic factors at play. With humbleness and thanking God for the insight that He inspired, the author produced stunningly accurate analyses which even predicted the joint Russian-Turkish peacekeeping mission in mid-October at a time when most of the world was convinced that those two countries were destined to clash with one another. For the purpose of enlightening his readers, he’s sharing the chronological sequence of his work so that they can follow the evolution of his thoughts during this time and hopefully learn how to improve their own analyses in the event that they’re so inclined. His clear track record of analytical accuracy should also be contrasted with the commentary published by his peers in the Alt-Media Community, many of whom not only got everything totally wrong, but even in some cases completely discredited themselves after pushing propaganda that has since been conclusively debunked by the facts:
8 October: India’s Nagorno-Karabakh Crisis Conundrum
20 October: An Interview With Andrew Korybko
What Went Wrong?
Having proven his credibility and credentials to authoritatively speak on this topic, the author will now engage in some retrospection in order to educate everyone about the reasons why so many others got almost everything about this conflict so terribly wrong. It’s important to understand that media literacy played a huge role in why many people were deceived. They lacked the ability to differentiate between the various information products freely available to them such as journalism, investigations, analyses, op-eds, activism, propaganda, and even fake news, which he elaborated upon earlier in a piece about how “Media Literacy, Not Intimidation & Censorship, Is The Best Way To Fight So-Called Propaganda”. Better media literacy could have resulted in folks realizing that they were being deceived by certain supposedly “credible” sources, which in turn wouldn’t have led to so many false expectations about the course of this conflict. Equally important, however, was the effect of “wishful thinking”, “groupthink”, and “political correctness” in misleading the masses.

This is a very interesting surname. It is English and locational, but is often thought to be Celtic and Welsh. In fact it originates from a village called Carden in the county of Cheshire, near the town of Malpas. This place which does not seem to be recorded in the 'Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names', a surprising omission, was originally recorded as Kawrdin. This is from the pre 7th century 'carr' meaning a rock, and 'wordign', a farm or enclosed area. In fact the village name may refer to a fortified farm perhaps built of stone or situated on a rock.
It is said that there was castle at the village in ancient times, and this was replaced by a manor house in about 1640, although in turn this was burnt down in 1912. The surname is equally ancient, and being locational may refer either to the original lord of the manor and his descendants or to people who left the village, and moved elsewhere, being given for easy identification, the name of their former home. The first recording is believed to be that of Richard de Carwardyn in the accounts of the chamberlains of the county of Cheshire in the year 1302.

Molecular computing is a novel, exciting and a genuinely interdisciplinary research area which lies at the boundary of Computer Science and Molecular Biology. An important advantage offered by computations with bio-molecules is the massive parallelism: the number of operations that can be executed at the same time is proportional to the number of molecules involved, which is of the order of 10 to the power 19. Also, operations which involve bio-molecules are over a billion times more energy efficient with respect to electronic chips, and the information can be stored at a density of about a billion times higher than in usual electronic computers. The major applications to massively-parallel molecular computation range from novel computer architectures in conventional hardware and novel algorithmic solutions to difficult problems to self-assembling technology and intelligent nano-scale construction. The theoretical studies involve the investigation of new computational models based on paradigms coming from bio-chemistry: the complementarity of the two strands of a DNA molecule, the signaling within and between cells, or the structural organization of cells. | [

Nnamdi Udoh, MD, NAMA
The Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has said that it guides over 500 aircraft through the nation’s airspace every day.
These, NAMA pointed out, excluded over fliers- that is, aircraft that pass Nigeria’s airspace to other destinations and helicopter operations which fly to the oil rig operations in the Niger Delta.
The Managing Director of the agency, Nnamdi Udoh, made this known when he explained the conditions of communication in the airspace.
Udoh said because of the heavy traffic that developed recently in the country, the agency was expanding the system for easy communication between the pilots and Air Traffic Controllers (ATC).
Reacting to the petition written by some controllers, who are the executive members of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), he said that if communications in Nigeria’s airspace was not working as the controllers claimed, no flight would take off or land in any of Nigeria’s airports, adding that any pilot who dared operate aircraft in such airspace would lose his licence.
The NAMA boss, who spoke to newsmen in Lagos explained: “For record purposes, NAMA wants to use this opportunity and this platform to reassure Nigerians and all our airspace users, pilots and other stakeholders that the airspace is safe and will always be safe"
He observed that if some of the controllers claim that the communication system in the airspace was not working, it means that they have not been working in the last three months because without communication there is nothing the controllers would be doing. Besides, he wondered how an aircraft could have been flying during the same period if the airspace was not safe as no pilot would venture into the airspace without communication.
"If the report quoted Air Traffic Controllers, it means that, that Air Traffic Controllers have done no work in the last three months and are not supposed to be paid and how do aeroplanes fly in the last three months without communications system?" he queried.
Udoh however pointed out that the only challenge that was confronting the agency at the moment was its long-range frequency, which it has just introduced, insisting that there was no control tower that had a single challenge in terms of communication in the country at the moment.
To cope with this challenge the NAMA said it had embarked on the sectorialisation of the frequency by dividing it into two frequencies so that one frequency would handle the western part of the Lagos centre while the other part would handle the eastern part so that each sector would have a frequency of its own. This, they believe, would reduce the congestion.
Confirming the explanation of Udoh, the Director of Operations, NAMA, Alhaji Mukaila Solola, who is in charge of the controllers, said that the claim by the air traffic controllers that there was no communication in the airspace was a campaign of calumny, noting that such moves to tarnish the image of the agency and create unnecessary panic amongst the Nigerian travelling public was an attempt to intimidate the agency.
He added that when some of them were not included in foreign trips for training they become desperate.
“We have taken the bold steps to nip in the bud this campaign of calumny because it impacts on the nation negatively and we would further use this moment to reassure all stakeholders that the situation is definitely not what is portrayed by mischief makers," Solola said. | [

Who are the top 100 Welsh heroes?
In 2003-2004, the organisation Culturenet Cymru conducted an internet survey to find the top 100 Welsh heroes. They received over 80,000 nominations and votes in their quest to find the greatest Welsh men and women of all time. It is now almost two years exactly since the survey was completed, so maybe its time for a re-run.
Disappointingly for the Society, David Lloyd George was only placed at number six in the survey, which was headed by Aneurin Bevan. Bevan won because he is widely regarded as the father of the National Health Service, although arguably there could have been no NHS without the legacy of social reform, in particular the introduction of national insurance contributions in 1911, resulting from Lloyd George's People's Budget.
Lloyd George was also beaten by singer Tom Jones and more frustratingly by Gwynfor Evans, the first ever Plaid Cymru MP. However, apart from Owain Glyndwr, all the people above LLG in the list are more modern figures and this is the usual pattern with polls of this kind as the more recent and familiar push out the historical figures.
Other Liberal (Democrat) figures making it onto the list include Roy Jenkins in 42nd place (at least beating Neil Kinnock who was 58th) and Lady Megan Lloyd George who made it in at number 92.
You can see the whole list and read their biographies at the website of 100 Welsh heroes at http://www.100welshheroes.com/en/homepage | [

I founded Help One Now after meeting a starving young orphan at an abandoned gas station in Zimbabwe. I was compelled to dedicate my life to seeking justice by empowering high-capacity local leaders to care for orphans and vulnerable children, and to help them see their communities transform. My passion is organizing tribes of everyday people—people like you!—to partner with global movements that do good.
I’m available to speak at conferences and churches (you can find more information about that here), and I also coach leaders who are looking to launch, grow, and sustain their organizations well.

The crucible should essentially be made of materials with a much higher melting point than that of the materials to be melted. The crucible materials should also have good strength even when extremely hot. Furnace crucibles come in a variety of metal constructions, such as clay-graphite, silicon-carbide, and more.
DO NOT use "any size" crucible in your furnace. Use the size for which the furnace was designed. Crucible size refers to capacity of aluminum. For example, a #16 crucible holds 16 lbs of aluminum. Brass and bronze capacity is three times aluminum capacity ( therefore, a #16 crucible holds 48 lbs of brass or bronze).
Ceramic crucibles can be made from a variety of base materials, such as silica, zircon, spinel, alumina and magnesite, and the desired chemical composition truly depends upon the crucible's intended application. Each chemical composition reacts differently to heat and pressure.

The new Dyson car will be built in Singapore, not the UK, CEO Jim Rowan has announced to staff. Construction will begin in December and the new factory is planned for completion in 2020.
The Dyson electric vehicle is scheduled for launch in 2021.
Explaining the decision not to make the Dyson car in the UK, Rowan said it was “based on supply chains, access to markets and the availability of the expertise that will help us achieve our ambitions”.
Singapore has a high cost base but “a highly skilled workforce” and “great technology expertise and focus.
“It is therefore the right place to make high quality technology laded machines, and the right place to make our electric vehicle.”

Dyson has had a base in Singapore for more than a decade and today employs over 1,100 people there. To date, it has made more than 50 million high-speed digital electric motors in Singapore.
The firm stressed the UK still remains a key part of its plans to build the first Dyson car, though. A £200 million investment is transforming its “state-of-the-art” hangars at Hullavington Airfield in Wiltshire (pictured above). The project involves new buildings and testing facilities at the campus.
UK headcount has swelled 2.5 times over the past five years, to 4,800 people. 400 people are already employed at Hullavington, which is near to Dyson’s Malmesbury campus, where over 4,000 people work.
“This decision is good news for the exceptional teams we have in both the UK and Singapore,” said Rowan.
The Dyson car project, in which around £2 billion is rumoured to be committed, “is a fast-moving, exciting, and pivotal project for Dyson,” he added. | [

A land swap between the Port of Los Angeles and the Department of Water and Power moves plans for new waterfront open space in Wilmington closer to reality.
Under the agreement announced on June 15, the Port of Los Angeles will take control of a four-acre property that is currently improved with a 500,000-barrel petroleum storage tank and other buildings. Demolition of the structure, which began this week, will allow for construction of the long-proposed Avalon Promenade and Gateway to begin in Fall 2020.
“Los Angeles is continually investing in our communities to create jobs, increase open space, and improve infrastructure,” said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti in a prepared statement. “I’m grateful to the Port and LADWP for this innovative solution which will help us complete a community space in Wilmington that Angelenos will be proud of for generations to come.”
The project is one component of approximately $75 million public open space first envisioned in 2006 as part of the Wilmington Waterfront Redevelopment Program, which was intended to spur new economic development along Avalon Boulevard - Wilmington's main commercial boulevard.
The $53.4-million Wilmington Waterfront Plaza, designed by Sasaki, is slated for eight acres of land directly fronting the Port of Los Angeles. Plans call for a pedestrian plaza, public parking, and other improvements.
The $32-million Avalon Promenade, designed by T.Y. Lin, will link that space to existing park land through the addition of a pedestrian bridge. Other planned improvements include as a gateway entry feature, landscaping, and hardscaping.
In addition to new open space in Wilmington, the Port of Los Angeles broke ground in January on a $33-million waterfront promenade and town square in San Pedro. The four-acre project will abut the San Pedro Public Market development, which recently saw its groundbreaking date pushed back to 2021.

MIL OSI Translation. Region: Russian Federation –
12 The Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Northern Fleet and the Russian Geographical Society have begun the direct preparation of expeditions to the Novaya Zemlya archipelago within the framework of the historical and cultural project “The Main Facade of Russia. History, events, people ”.
The Executive Directorate of the Russian Geographical Society has completed the selection of candidates for the expedition. Historical, biological, ecological, geological and archaeological research during the cruise on the icebreaker of the Northern Fleet “Ilya Muromets” will be carried out by fifteen scientists from nine scientific organizations in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Murmansk. The head of the 12th Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the commander of the Northern Fleet and the executive director of the Russian Geographical Society, approved a scientific research program.
An expeditionary group of servicemen of the Central Range of the Russian Federation under the leadership of the scientific leader of the project, Colonel Sergei Churkin, with the involvement of a Mi-8 helicopter, a BL-820 boat and on foot carried out research on the reconstruction of the route of the 18th century pioneer Fyodor Rozmyslov in the Matochkin Shar Strait, and also conducted reconnaissance on the forthcoming route of the expedition in the southwestern part of Yuzhny Island. The shores of Matochkin Shara from Cape Stolbovoy to Cape Morzhovy, as well as the coasts of Chernaya, Stroganovaya and Valkova bays have been investigated.
In addition, the route has been determined for the ascent of the 12th Main Directorate, the Northern Fleet and the Rosatom State Corporation team to the highest point in the Matochkin Shar Strait – Sedov Peak. According to Colonel Pavel Koshkarev, Assistant Commander for Physical Training of the Northern Fleet, this will be the first high-latitude conquest of more than 1,100 meters by military personnel.
Servicemen of the Central Test Site of the Russian Federation have begun to prepare the site for the installation of a memorial Orthodox cross at Cape Barany in honor of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the expeditions of the founder of the Russian Geographical Society, Fyodor Litke, to the shores of Novaya Zemlya and the Kola Peninsula. During a detailed examination from a helicopter of the area where the memorial cross was installed by the commander of the Mi-8, Captain Oleg Boroday, the remains of an old cross overgrown with moss were found. During a thorough examination, forged nails were found holding its elements together.
The main activities of the Integrated Expedition 12 of the Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Northern Fleet and the Russian Geographical Society will be held in August, when the combined expeditionary team aboard the Ilya Muromets icebreaker will set off around the South Island of Novaya Zemlya along the routes of the first explorers of Novaya Zemlya, Petr Pakhtusov, Vladimir Rusanov and Rudolf Samoilovich.

15 Jul Mayor Cassetti Applauds WPCA Fee Reduction
On July 1 the Ansonia Water Pollution Control Authority voted unanimously to reduce the sewer use rate by 5.35 percent.
The fee reduction was primarily attributable to an approximately $95,000 decrease in the WPCA’s operational budget, according to a prepared statement from Mayor David Cassetti.
The approved rate for the sewer use fee is $2.65 per 100 cubic feet of water plus a $50 capital fee, down from $2.80.
The approved flat rate for well users is $224 plus a $50 capital fee, down from $237.
Bills are collected in two installments due Sept. 1, 2015 and March 2, 2016, payable, respectively, before Oct. 1, 2015 and April 1, 2016 before which interest will accrue at 1.5 percent per month.
Payments may be made at the WPCA in the lower level of City Hall, 253 Main St., from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Fridays.
“I would like to applaud the WPCA and Chairman Nunzio Parente for success in lowering fees for our residents,” Cassetti’s statement said. “I firmly believe that tax and fee reduction is absolutely essential to growing our business base and moving Ansonia forward.” | [

Abstract In this paper, a novel compact antenna test range based on transmitarray (TA), transmitarray compact antenna test range (TACATR), is proposed. A non‐negligible parameter, central cell reference phase (CRP), is defined to harmonize the disturbance field. The CRP not only determines the physical structure of TA, but also can adjust the phase of the desired plane wave field of the quiet zone (QZ). Several strategies are proposed to enhance the performance of QZ of TACATR. The strategies include selecting CRP and the layout of TACATR. To validate the feasibility of TACATR, a 169.6 mm × 169.6 mm TA working at 28 GHz is designed, simulated and fabricated. The measured amplitude peak to peak value (P2P) of the middle QZ plane field is 1.5 dB and the phase P2P is 9.4°.
This paper presents a new low-power and low-phase noise Colpitts quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO). The proposed QVCO contains two differential Colpitts VCOs that use gain-boosting technique to enhance the negative transconductance and relax start-up condition. Both switching and tail transistors are configured in class-C to improve ISF and phase noise performance of the circuit via better noise modulation function. In addition, flicker noise would be reduced because of the switched-biasing mechanism of tail transistors. Phase noise analysis shows that changing the bias voltage of switching as well as tail transistors can improve the phase noise performance of the core VCO with overlap reduction of the transistors active time. Consequently, due to no extra noisy elements for coupling and class-C biasing of all transistors, low-phase noise quadrature signals are generated. To verify the performance of the proposed technique, post-layout simulation is performed in TSMC 0.18μm RF-CMOS process at supply voltage of 1.2V. Post-layout simulation results show that the phase noise of the proposed QVCO is-120.6dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from5.73GHz operation frequency. The total power consumption of the QVCO is 3.1mW and the tuning range is from 5GHzto 5.73GHz.
In this work, a beam-steering array antenna for pattern stabilisation is presented. The antenna element consists of two layers with a unique structure of microstrip to coplanar waveguide (CPW) transition to cover a frequency range from 20 to 30 GHz and a stable pattern at all operating frequencies. To increase the gain of the antenna element, an elliptical broadband Fabry-Perot cavity structure is used. The element manages 3 dB gain bandwidth of almost 23-26 GHz with a 14.4 dBi peak. In addition, a modified Butler matrix consisting of two 90° and two 135° couplers without phase shift section is used to attain a stable pattern. The proposed Butler matrix performs a stationary phase with a phase error of less than ±6° over a frequency band from 21 to 29 GHz. The integration of the proposed element and feed network leads to a beam-tilting antenna capable of managing its patterns through the input ports in the operating frequency range of 20-29.5 GHz (9.5 GHz) and 20.6-29.6 GHz (9 GHz) for ports 1 and 2, respectively.
In this work, a unique compact size high gain circularly polarised (CP) array antenna is proposed. The array is considered as a 2 × 2 metasurface-based CP patch antennas which fed by a cascade network. The single element consists of two different layers of substrate that metasurface layer excited by aperture slot on metallic ground layer in middle layer between metasurface cells and microstrip line, meanwhile this layer isolates destructive effects of feed lines on radiation layer. For achieving high gain at a compact size several techniques such as (i) use of broadband feed network, (ii) utilising of adjacent cells with unique structure as mutual coupling reducer, and etc. have been simultaneously applied. In order to validation of simulated parameters the proposed array has been fabricated and measured. The measurement results for the proposed compact size array antenna are the impedance bandwidth (|S 11 | < −10 dB) of 4.22-7 GHz (49.55%), a 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth of 4.71 to 6.28 GHz (28.5%), and a peak gain of 16.57 dBic at 5.5 GHz.
This study presents a generalised and easy-to-use method based on Hill’s equation to analyse the electromagnetic wave
propagation in inhomogeneous planar layers with arbitrary permittivity profiles. We explore the effects of polarisation, incidence
angle, layers thickness and permittivity profiles on reflection and transmission characteristics. Hill’s method is as an efficient tool
to obtain an analytical solution to the propagation equations and is applicable to all arbitrary profiles of perm | [
