In early December, the Monks of Drepung Gomang visited The Hun School for seven days. Members of The Sacred Art Tour, the eight monks shared their traditions and spirituality with The Hun School community through a series of art workshops, lectures, and demonstrations. Their visit marks the beginning of the 2014-2015 Speaker Series: A Global Perspective and coincides with the opening of the Wilf Family Global Commons.
n early December, the Monks of Drepung Gomang visited The Hun School for seven days. Members of The Sacred Art Tour, the eight monks shared their traditions and spirituality with The Hun School community through a series of art workshops, lectures, and demonstrations. Their visit marks the beginning of the 2014-2015 Speaker Series: A Global Perspective and coincides with the opening of the Wilf Family Global Commons.
The monks were as joyful as they were reverent during their stay at The Hun School. They began and ended each day with prayers and chanting in the Student Center. In between, they taught students how to paint mani stones, create butter sculpture, and meditate. Students and faculty enjoyed a cooking demonstration, a meal of momos and Tibetan noodles, as well as a cultural pageant featuring the Snow Lion, Good Luck Dance, and the art of debate. The highlight of their visit was the creation of the Peace Mandala, an elaborate sand sculpture requiring five days to complete.
The Drepung Gomang monks are Tibetan Buddhist refugees, most of whom fled Tibet, on foot, through the Himalayas at a very young age to escape conflict in their native region. The Drepung Gomang monastery was founded in Tibet in 1416 and is now located in South India. Since it’s beginning, Gomang College has produced many eminent Buddhist masters and has been a very important Tibetan and Buddhist learning center. Each of the colleges of Drepung has its specialty and the focus of Gomang is philosophy: logic and debate.
See the completed Sand Mandala and say farewell to the monks during the closing ceremony on Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m. in the Student Activities Center. The ceremony will be broadcast live on HUNTV. Click here to watch the broadcast.

EPIC Urges Federal Trade Commission to Investigate Google Buzz.
“EPIC fail“, as Arstechnica nicely puts it.
PDF of the detailed complaint, a must-read IMHO, which is the best summary to date of what the fuss is all about, including point by point discussion of the opt-out issues.
If you type “google buzz“, “google earth” or “google maps” (and some others, probably) into Google search, you get a live, scrolling search entry in the middle of your results page, including twitter feeds.
Why not, but feels a bit weird, and you have to be fast if you want to catch one of the scrolling links. That’s not for grandma.
Apparently the Google Buzz team is very hard at work (on a week-end break!) to fix some of the more blatant problems with Buzz initialization, see their post titled A new Buzz start-up experience based on your feedback; including a nice apology at the end regarding the panic.
My gut feeling is that there are still way too many opt-out things. List visibility, for one: opt-out still does not feel quite right to me; it is too easy for people to not care at first and regret it only when it’s too late. The obvious fact that leaked information can’t be unleaked should be taken into account.
Also, one of the core problems, clearly separating contacts vs friends, apparently remains. I’ll need to retry Buzz someday to see how it feels after this update.
Update: see also Google Buzz – anatomy of a slow motion train wreck, a very good analysis of what happened and things to expect. I share the feeling about the shift in privacy habits that Google (or should I say, some people at Google, but from where I stand that is irrelevant) are trying to shove down our throats.
In the real world, the devil is in the details. In cyberspace, it’s in the defaults. And the default settings in Buzz are so crass that one cannot imagine they are the product of corporate carelessness.
The Google boys are smart and know exactly what they’re doing. They’ve been enviously watching the stupendous growth of Twitter and Facebook and wondering how Google can cut them off at the knees before they become really unstoppable – which brings us back to Microsoft.
Ok, so after Google auto-subscribed about 10 million people to Buzz a few days ago to get traction, sit down and watch real-time mass unsubscription of upset people, including some vocal ones.
So… as I said just 2 days ago, I tried Buzz.
And as I also said, « certainly missed a boatload of things and got some wrong ». Famous last words. How right I was !
I tried Buzz just like half the planet actually, which I didn’t realize until yesterday, when I found my Gmail account spammed by people I never heard about before, replying on my buzzes or writing buzzes I received or subscribing to my stuff.
I was panic-struck, just like the rest of the planet. That was the main theme of the comments I saw: « I’m panicking, are you? » « Oh yes I am, but who are you and how come you write this in my Buzz? ».
It somehow found the feed to this blog. I still haven’t quite figured out how; maybe that’s my fault, maybe not; anyway I validated it. I’m glad I wasn’t using Blogger, sorry but I’ve got enough knives planted in my back at the moment.
I did what everybody did yesterday evening: shut down all the incoming feeds, deleted posts and/or comments (“did I write something to my contacts that’s not for public consumption?”), tried to shut down everything outgoing, checked out all my subscribers, and tried to figure out how the damn thing decides that something should be visible or not visible, by others from me or by me from others. I’m still freaked out.
I still think this stuff makes Facebook look like amateur privacy violators by comparison. Even the quote by Eric Schmidt about privacy looks like a detail now (even though it was right-on).
The major, enormous psychological (not technical) error is that this was placed in the Gmail account; something you typically expect to be private. Putting there stuff that’s geared to be broadcast all over the place, in a opt-out way (second major error: everything is public by default, and you can’t ever revert to private after publishing, your only bet is to delete), is a tragically bad, bad, bad idea. Third error, fuzzy rules (recommendations? I’m not even sure) allowing buzzes to skip over contact boundaries.
By putting Buzz inside of Gmail, Google probably wanted to drive up adoption. Well done, it’s adopted all over the place with posts and comments and blog posts and tweet guts spilled everywhere, aggregated, resent, accessible without your knowledge. What a sorry mess. Evil? Still not sure about that. Ill-considered, that’s for sure.
Fourth, but not least, error — but is that really an error? Looks like a strategy, really –, Google confuses public availability with right-to-broadcast. My buzzes or blog posts being public does not mean that I want Google to spam these to contacts of contacts of contacts.
I’ll have to wait until the dust settles in my mind to know whether I really want to use this stuff. It’ll remain anyway as one of my most creepy experiences of late.
Already we see blog posts everywhere flowing about people who’ve unknowingly leaked private information to bosses, ex-husbands and so on. Too many to mention.
Update: Sixth error, the blocking of followers is not real security over leakage. It’s cleaning up after the fact (see the blog post linked-to above).
Update (21h41): Seventh error, and now (since when? since Buzz? No idea whatsoever, seems new since it also appears on my buzzes now) my Orkut photograph has been imported to my Gmail profile and appears to all my chat contacts. I never asked for that… it’s a photograph of me at the age of 3 months! Never meant to be visible in Gmail.
Eight error: so obvious I missed it… the followers/followee list is public by default “Display the list of people I’m following and people following me”. Which means you have a privacy leak in your contact list, since that’s where the followers come from.
This is insane. I think Google really has jumped the shark, this time. I’m out of Buzz for the foreseeable future.
Update (23h38): additional thoughts in relation to the above… Google apparently doesn’t realize that mail contacts (many kinds of people) are very different from friends in a social network; the contact or chat list may look like a friends list functionally, but they do not contain the same kind of people and do not serve the same purpose. It’s obvious if you look at who’s in your own respective lists. A lot of confusion stems from that. Google is trying to “Facebookize” the Gmail ecosystem and the fit just can’t be good. Maybe that’s a cultural problem.
Update (0h06): an idea I just got. If the Buzz follower/followee lists actually were new lists, treated like real friends lists starting from zero (i.e. not based on any contact list, not even with a pre-filled checkbox list), with a reciprocal acknowledge just like in social networks, the user would really be more in control, with the actual feeling of starting up his own, separate network.
Okay. I’ve just learned I’m the proud and lucky (thanks to my guardian angel) owner of a Google Buzz account.
What is it? Actually, I’m still trying to figure that out exactly.
Try to imagine Google Talk (chat) extended with bits of Twitter (followers and followees, but that’s not how they’re called) and geolocation, integrated within Google Mail with an interface that’s slightly reminiscent of Google Wave presented in a blogpost-like format (there has to be a RSS feed somewhere underneath, but I didn’t find it); with possible post upvoting as in Digg or Reddit (but no downvoting).
And you can also mix in stuff from Picasa, Google Reader, Twitter itself, Flickr or blogs.
That’s what I was able to gather after using it for 5 minutes. I certainly missed a boatload of things and got some wrong.
Et en plus c’est original.
Je ne suis que très partiellement convaincu par l’argumentaire sur la question, mais un petit service de ce style permet au moins de mettre le doigt sur ce qui se passe en « arrière-boutique » des raccourcisseurs, qui ne sont souvent qu’un mauvais palliatif pour transmettre des adresses via des formats étriqués (Twitter, SMS, mail…) qu’il vaudrait mieux directement améliorer ou remplacer, suivant le cas.
Exemple vécu ce jour, qui (m’)aide à comprendre en quoi le DNS Google peut, éventuellement, servir à quelque chose. Les fournisseurs d’accès ont bon dos (il est de bon ton de leur tirer dessus, et ni Google ni OpenDNS ne se sont gênés), mais souvent ce sont les sites d’origine qui ne gèrent pas correctement leur DNS.
internetactu.net. 172652 IN NS ns352862.ovh.net.
internetactu.net. 172652 IN NS sdns1.ovh.net.
Qu’en pense Google Public DNS ?
La question « naturelle » que l’on peut se poser, et qui n’est pas neutre au vu de ce qui précède : est-ce un effet « normal » de cache DNS, ou Google effectue-il de la mise en cache « agressive » et au delà des spécifications du DNS pour donner des réponses de meilleure qualité ? (la mise en cache agressive est avérée, elle a été annoncée lors de l’ouverture du service).
Ironie suprême, j’ai découvert la panne qui précède en tentant d’aller consulter sur ledit site des articles sur la Googlisation de nos vies (trouvés via un article du Standblog trouvé via Stéphane).
Google a annoncé hier un nouveau service d’ordre assez technique mais à vocation grand public : Google public DNS (merci à Philippe de Blue Pipe).
Il s’agit « simplement » d’un service supposé remplacer les serveurs DNS récursifs que vous utilisez, soit ceux de votre fournisseur d’accès (cas le plus courant), soit ceux d’un service « ouvert » (cas moins courant et peu recommandé).
Réponse rapide pour gens pressés : en gros… à rien ! Chaque fournisseur de connectivité gère ses propres serveurs, bien en général, et cela reste le plus souvent la meilleure solution (la vraiment meilleure solution technique étant dans la plupart des cas d’avoir chez vous un cache DNS local). Et si votre fournisseur ne gère pas correctement ses serveurs, il est temps de changer de boutique, pas juste de serveur DNS.
Mais ce nouveau service de Google a tout de même plusieurs intérêts notables. | 2019-04-26T14:30:03Z | https://signal.eu.org/blog/category/weberies-20/page/2/ |
Global passenger traffic and air cargo volume are on the increase, according to the latest edition of the World Airport Traffic Report from the Airports Council International (ACI).1 Although figures for 2015 have not been finalized, the ACI predicts that air traffic will continue to rise. The rising volume of airport traffic signals a potential opportunity for growth in telematics. Air operations are costly and time-sensitive. Fleet management and vehicle tracking of airport ground support equipment (GSE) such as baggage/cargo handling tugs, tractors, refuelers, and container loaders can provide the visibility and information required to streamline operations, increase safety, and control costs.
Reduced set-up time for operations with real-time location visibility of equipment; searching for loaned or borrowed equipment will be a thing of the past. Alerts can be generated for assets entering no-go and restricted areas or assets leaving your work.
Easier and more accurate tracking of mileage and hours. Eliminate time-consuming and costly physical monitoring and checking.
Reduced maintenance and fuel costs through monitoring of power take off use and engine idling time. Auxiliary inputs are available to use a vast number 3rd party devices and other sensors.
Lower costs related to maintenance and down-time. Monitoring diagnostic trouble code information makes it possible to proactively attend to equipment issues early before they turn into asset down-time or costly repairs.
Improved airport safety by enforcing safety policies like start-up sequences and seat belt use, and by detecting aggressive driving on driveable assets.
Lower risk of unauthorized use by tracking off-hour usage. This information is also available on older equipment without a diagnostic port. Both 12 volt and 24 volt assets can be equipped.
Greater warranty compliance with maintenance alerts and schedules.

B. Cornelius, (a pseudonym ) is a Professor at an Anglican Theological Seminary, has been a Professor at Stanford University and, (Visiting) the University of Cambridge, is co author (with Golitsin, a Professor of Theology at Marquette (Jesuit) University) of The Sacred Athlete, a work on Christian mysticism. He is co author of The Dangerous Hour, a work on Greek folklore that includes examination of continuities, survivals, ancient to modern peasant. One of his biographical works was hailed by Biography, the Journal, as “…the best published” (in the year of publication).
His name here is a pseudonym, but as lineage, correct. His Grandmother, nee Emma Adams Cornelius, was a painter and poet. The Cornelius genealogy traces the family to early 1600s Maryland and Virginia, thence England and Holland, thence pre Reformation Rome, thus in a religious line over two millennia, from Roman pagan to Catholic then Anglican and Protestan, in New England, Unitarian.
As we translate here, the sound on our lips, “God” is Teutonic, Saxon, old high German, early English. As the mystic or linguist knows, sounds are but conveniences and, in differing, should not alienate. If one forgets the lessons of the semanticists and confuses the sound with its referent, there will be no end of troubles, not excluding in this matter, religious strife.
There was serious debate, anger among the compilers, over whether to include this and the following two homilies in this Book.

With both men and women now wearing less and less when it comes to swimwear. Unfortunately razors never seem to be the solution with a lot of the areas still showing stubble, which, lets face it, is never attractive.

Very small tree. No outstanding resistances; Small fruit size limits M 27 in commercial plantings.
Use of Mark rootstock has been largely discontinued. Mark gives early maturity and large fruit size, and can be used in unfumigated replant in most soils, but it is not fullyreplant tolerant. Burr knots and woolly apple aphids limit use.
Extremely susceptible to fireblight. Should be planted only on free draining soils. Woolly apple aphid susceptible.
Better in replant sites and wet soils than MM 106. Resistant to Woolly apple aphid.
MM 106 was the standard rootstock in New Zealand until the 1990's, when medium density orchards of 660-800 trees/ha were the norm. Not suitable in heavy clay soils due to phytophthora susceptability.
A hardy rootstock which is adapted to a wide variety of soil types yet producing good quality and yields of fruit. A favourite with home gardeners. Resistant to phytophthora, peniophera and woolly apple aphids.

Almost three years after the Campus Avenue residence project was announced, and two years after construction began, the new dorms at Nos. 55 and 65 Campus Ave. are beginning to fulfill their primary purpose.
Since Aug. 19, some two dozen students have moved into the dorms, anticipating the rush of occupants that will start with the arrival of the first-years on Aug. 29.
Yet building work goes on. And the biggest news surrounds Bates’ collaboration with a community partner to create interior artwork for the dorms.
The college and the museum are longtime collaborators on community-engaged learning programs, art exhibitions, performances, and other initiatives. And the project team for the Campus Avenue dorms approached the museum last spring in search of materials that might inspire wall art for Nos. 55 and 65.
The “aha!” moment came during a tour of the museum when the Bates group happened upon a collection of about 200 large silkscreens used to print bedspreads and tablecloths in the 1940s and ’50s.
The collection is the result of a major rescue and preservation effort by the museum: The screens “were scattered everywhere, and we had finally gotten them all in one section of the mill,” says museum director Rachel Desgrosseilliers. Working with Robert Caron, museum project coordinator, Bates student Anna Williams ’16 had helped organize the silkscreens as a member of the Harward Center’s Short Term Action/Research Team.
“We’ve been saying for many years that these would make beautiful artwork of some kind,” Desgrosseilier says.
When the Bates contingent encountered the screens, “there was immediate interest,” says Streifel. “You could feel the history to it. You could almost see those things racked somewhere in that huge space and getting pulled” for use on the manufacturing line.
To design the wall art, Bates turned to Bergmeyer Associates, the Boston firm that designed the College Store’s new space in 65 Campus Ave. After silkscreen patterns were selected for possible adaptation, Will Ash, academic technology consultant in Bates’ Imaging and Computing Center, photographed them.
He then subjected the high-resolution images to a process called vectoring, which permits them to be reproduced at any size with no loss of image quality.
• and etch film applied to the glass walls of study lounges.
For a given space, the same pattern is used for both the wall panel and the etch film. The metal pieces are hung in groupings in the kitchen of 55 Campus, and in the lobbies of 55 and 65 — and the 65 Campus Ave. lobby is open to the public, if you’d like to see a sample for yourself.
The firm that has done other signage for the buildings, Exposé Signs & Graphics of Hopedale, Mass., fabricated and mounted the artwork.
All the artwork is in place, but the project’s not quite finished. The museum is developing wall texts for the silkscreen renderings that will not only name the original designs but, in a sequential flow from text to text, relate the story of the silkscreens to Lewiston’s heyday as a center for textile manufacturing.
Those wall plaques will likely be mounted in October.
Batting cleanup: Project manager Tim Schneider and other staff for Consigli Construction, construction management firm for the Campus Avenue dorm project, will remain at Bates for weeks to come, albeit not full-time. But scheduled to leave Bardwell Street today is the portable field office that housed the Consigli team for more than two years.
Meanwhile, during our visits to 55 and 65 this week, we saw photographers for project design firm Ann Beha Architects documenting the new buildings. On Thursday, technicians for Exposé were mounting a bold sign for the College Store on the 65 Campus Ave. canopy near Central Avenue.
We talked to Matt Phillips ’17, who just moved into a sunny fourth-floor room in 55. He had spent the summer doing an internship in Lewiston, living on campus, and being tantalized by the new building.
Even though occupancy is underway, there are still a few outstanding repairs from the punch-list inspection left to do, Streifel says — mainly items that, for whatever reason, couldn’t be fixed when they were discovered.
And what’s ahead? He anticipates that the dorms will pretty much require his full attention through September, as the occupants “load-test” the buildings. In addition, “there are a lot of close-out and final processes that we need to go through with the architect and Consigli to conclude the project formally.
So Streifel will be immersed in the Campus Avenue dorm project for some time to come — but it’s not too soon to ask how he feels about this endeavor that has occupied virtually all of his workdays since November 2013.
“It was a wonderful opportunity. The feedback, the looks on people’s faces as they look around, and just knowing how these buildings transform that area of campus — and, to a degree, the college itself.
Campus Construction Update returns on Sept. 2 with final reports on the other three projects we have followed during 2016 — Smith and Wentworth Adams dorm renovations, the Campus Avenue Field resurfacing, and the college’s new boathouse.
Can we talk?

These Canine Social Skills Assessments are pre-booked by phone 902-252-3294 (press 1).
Canine Social Skills Assessment: a medical & behavioral history of each dog by the parent (15-20 minutes). Following the paperwork, the candidate is brought into the playroom for a slow introduction to the group to test the readiness to engage with other dogs, separation anxiety from the parent, social sophistication and play style. This takes 40-60 minutes during which we encourage parents to go for a coffee or shopping break.
If your fur child requires any meds while boarding, please bring them in the original container that they come in.
I am hoping to board my dog with you from Dec 15th -26th. I am wondering what the estimate for that long of a stay would be. | 2019-04-25T19:41:14Z | https://thechewedslipper.com/bed-and-barkfest/ |
I am getting following error while adding images the running the project on iPad. It worked fine on simulator with all images but on iPad its running but showing no images.
I had this problem. Two targets were added for same image. Goto project target ->Build Phases -> Copy Bundle Resources and search for your image file name.
Most likely there are two entries. Remove one.
It worked when i changed the images from jpg to png, using Preview. Previously It might not be working due to .png as name only not as format. This link helped.
It will convert your images to .png and will create a pngs folder contain the converted images.
As Rajneesh071 & Himanshu suggested: There can be two or more images with same name or two targets were added for same image. Goto project target ->Build Phases -> Copy Bundle Resources and search for your image file name. and remove the repeated file.
I'm hoping to give more visibility to @Rajneesh071's comment. In my case, there was more than one Default.png file in my project. When I first created my project, Xcode put Default.png (and other splash screen png files) in my project. After creating my own splash screen, and adding them to the project through Xcode, I started getting the weird png crush errors. After trying many different answers, I came across Rajneesh071's comment that more than one Default.png existed. Did a quick filter on Default and sure enough, the Xcode provided Default files where listed along with my own. Deleted the Xcode provided Default*.png files and no more pngcrush errors.
If you find this useful, please give an uptick to Rajeneesh071's comment on the original question.

Greece is asking for a three-year bailout from its international creditors as pressure continues to grow over a potential financial meltdown.
On Wednesday, it pledged to start implementing some form of economic reform demanded by eurozone leaders before it can access an emergency fund.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that everything depends on Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras making a drastic turnaround on pension cuts, tax increases and other austerity measures after five months of acrimonious negotiations.
Eurozone officials expect the request for more aid to be followed up by a full list of detailed policy changes and budget cuts that go beyond those that Greek voters overwhelmingly rejected in a referendum last weekend.
“The actual examination can only begin once the full package has been put on the table,” a spokesman for German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble was quoted as saying.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday night that a multi-year aid program would require measures, including changes to labor laws, product markets and the privatization of state assets, that had been dropped from negotiations in recent months.
As a sweetener, eurozone leaders offered to start discussing measures on how to ease Greece’s immense debt burden.
They suggested that short-term financing to help meet a €3.5 billion (US$3.8 billion) bond payment to the European Central Bank on July 20 could be part of a broader, longer-term deal.
Pending an agreement, Greece can no longer draw from the €245 billion in rescue loans that have kept it afloat for the past five years.
On June 30 the eurozone portion of that bailout expired while the country’s default on a €1.56 billion payment to the International Monetary Fund last week has made Athens ineligible for more help from it. | 2019-04-19T20:16:12Z | http://www.ejinsight.com/20150709-greece-begins-to-cave-to-creditors-as-financial-meltdown-looms/ |
The term ‘Steering Cognition’ was coined by the researcher Simon P. Walker who discovered consistent, replicable patterns of attention and corresponding response through repeated cognitive tests between 2000 and 2015, in studies with over 15,000 individuals.
Working with his colleague Jo Walker, he was able to show that these patterns correlated with other cognitive attributes such as mental wellbeing, social competency and academic performance. Together, Walker and Walker conjecture that Steering Cognition is a central mechanism by which people self-regulate their cognitive, emotional and social states.
Secondary school environments which focus on accelerating pupil progress against narrow academic targets have been shown to impede the development of pupils’ ability to regulate their Steering Cognition, correlating with some potentially increased mental health and welfare risks.
A large 2014 study showed that Boarding school education results in better pupil ability to regulate Steering Cognition across social situations than Day school education. This so-called ‘Tribe Effect’ is conjectured to lead to continued social advantages beyond school, such as access to future in-group benefits in work and wider society.
Steering Cognition can be improved through training, coaching and more carefully structured and supportive environments. Steering Cognition is susceptible to both internal and external constraint and direction, equivalent to both teaching a person to drive AND improving the quality of the road signs.
Steering Cognition is a model of executive cognitive functions which contribute to how we regulate our attention and coordinate our corresponding responses.
Steering Cognition is a way of explaining how the brain biases attention toward specific stimuli whilst ignoring others, before coordinating responsive actions which cohere with our past patterns of self-representation. Steering Cognition enables us to use our limited cognitive resources to make sense of the world that we expect to see. The analogy of the car is sometimes used to explain Steering Cognition. As the ‘controls of our mind’, Steering Cognition regulates its direction, brakes and gears. Studies have shown that it is distinct from the ‘engine’ of our mind, sometimes referred to as ‘algorithmic processing’, which is responsible for how we process complex calculations.
Regulating our Steering Cognition involves conscious effort; much like driving off-road, we particularly need to regulate our Steering Cognition when we are facing unpredictable and varied situations and stimuli. Failing to do so can result in cognitive, affective and social biases. The state of our Steering Cognition at any time is influenced by the priming effect of the surrounding environment. Studies have shown that environment biasing of our Steering Cognition can contribute to non-conscious in-group behaviours, e.g. an increased likelihood of group-think or emotional contagion.
Studies have shown that during adolescence individuals develop more fixed patterns of steering. By adulthood, these patterns become recognisable as mental traits, behaviours and social attributes. There is some evidence that people with more flexible Steering Cognition are advantaged in jobs which require greater social or cognitive dexterity. Steering Cognition has been shown to depend on our ability to mental simulate, or imagine ourselves performing tasks and functions. As such, Steering Cognition requires the capacity to self-represent, associating memories of our past and possible future selves. Steering Cognition has been shown to implicate our emotional (affective), social and abstract cognitions.

Why is Steering Cognition important in education?
Steering Cognition has the potential to explain previously unquantified effects of education which have significant consequences for pupil learning and welfare.
The importance of Steering Cognition lies in its explanation of human behaviours which lead to either risks or advantages for individuals and collective groups. A car driver with poor control will increase risks for himself and others. Similarly, individuals with poor Steering Cognition may increase risks for themselves and others whilst those with better steering travel further and more safely. Importantly, the ability to regulate one’s Steering Cognition is unrelated to IQ or rational group behaviour, so measuring Steering Cognition offers an explanation of behaviours and events not currently detected by traditional metrics and models.
Poorly regulated Steering Cognition has been shown to correlate strongly with increased mental health and welfare risks during adolescence. A study in 2015 showed that pupils with certain fixed biases in their Steering Cognition were four times more likely to exhibit self-harm, be bullied or not cope with school pressures.
Secondary school environments which focus on accelerating pupil progress against narrow academic targets have been shown to impede the development of pupils’ ability to regulate their Steering Cognition, leading to some potentially increased mental health and welfare risks READ ARTICLE.
Closed group environments have been shown to result in collective biases in Steering Cognition, which increase in-group defensiveness, cognitive blindness and potential prejudice. This suggests that, at a cognitive level, radicalisation may involve the biasing of individuals’ Steering Cognition, through closed environmental priming effects, which in turn lead to hostile attitudes and actions.
The ability to regulate your Steering Cognition has been shown to account for up to 15% of academic outcomes at secondary school. Unlike IQ, Steering Cognition can be improved through coaching and specific teaching approaches, providing a potentially untapped educational dividend for schools.
Employers have been shown to seek employees for higher-level roles such as management and leadership who have better, more flexible Steering Cognition.

What literature underpins Steering Cognition?
Steering Cognition is a model of social and cognitive executive function. It is explains a functional governor mechanism by which the mind coordinates attention and executes responsive action.
Steering Cognition is an explanatory mechanism of some phenomena of affective, cognitive and social self-regulation. It describes effortful control processes which exhibit depletion after strain.
Steering Cognition has been repeatedly shown to implicate the mind’s mental simulation circuitry. As such, it is associated with functional neural circuits involved in projective and retrospective memory, self-representation, associative processing and imagination.
Steering Cognition provides an account of the transitioning process from non-conscious, or automatic, to conscious processing that occurs in the mind (see Dual Process Theory).
According to the Steering Cognition model, dual process System 1 functions as a serial cognitive steering processor for System 2, rather than the traditionally understood parallel system. In order to process epistemically varied environmental data, a Steering Cognition orientation system is required to align varied, incoming environmental data with existing neural algorithmic processes. The brain’s associative simulation capacity, centered around the imagination, plays an integrator role to perform this function (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_process_theory#Dual_Process_and_Steering_Cognition).
In the cognitive steering model, a conscious state emerges from effortful associative simulation, required to align novel data accurately with remote memory, via later algorithmic processes. By contrast, fast unconscious automaticity is constituted by unregulated simulatory biases, which induce errors in subsequent algorithmic processes. The phrase ‘rubbish in, rubbish out’ is used to explain errorful Steering Cognition processing: errors will always occur if the accuracy of initial retrieval and location of data is poorly self-regulated.
Steering Cognition provides an explanation of how the mind is nonconsciously influenced by the environmental cues, or primes, around it. Steering Cognition studies have produced data of attentional bias and blindness best explained by environmental priming.
Steering Cognition has been shown to rely upon associative rather than algorithmic cognitive processing and is best understood as heuristic in purpose- guiding the direction of our mind. Steering Cognition conceptualises the relationship between these algorithmic and associative functions as serial rather than parallel pathways. Our Steering Cognition guides our attention prior to algorithmic data processing.
A specific data model, Human Ecology Theory, underpins the Steering Cognition findings to date. Walker conducted variatiants of the same cognitive test with more than 11,000 candidates between the ages of 8 and 60 between 2002 and 2015. Using Principle Component Analysis, Walker was able to identify 7 latent largely independent ‘heuristic substitution’ factors which he labelled S, L, X, P, M, O, T . Subsequent exploratory factor analysis confirmed a largely orthogonal factor analysis structure. In 2014 Walker referred to this 7 factor model as the Human Ecology model of CAS state – cognitive affective social state . Also that year, Walker J. described four of the factors in greater detail (S, L, X and P) elucidating the relationships of the factors to affective-social self-regulation literature.

Stay hooked to know more about the upcoming events.
More than the budget, the stock markets are looking forward to the elections right now, said some of the experts at the ninth edition of The Finapolis Knowledge Series held in Hyderabad on February 12, 2019.
The Finapolis Knowledge Series is an endeavour by the Karvy group to spread awareness on a variety of topics of interest to businesses, investors and individuals.
In the ninth edition, four panelists deliberated on the topic “India’s Growth Story: From Budget To Elections”. The panel comprised Aarati Krishnan, consulting editor for Value Research and the Hindu Group, Shubham Agarwal, founder and CEO of fintech firm Quantsapp, M.R. Vikram, chartered accountant and partner of M Anandam and Co, and C. Parthasarathy, chairman of the Karvy Group. The discussion was moderated by former resident editor of Times of India, Kingshuk Nag.
“The market was not very excited about the budget. It got absorbed as if the market was already expecting it to happen. The markets enjoy events. If the Narendra Modi-led government returns to power in the elections, the July budget will not be an event for the markets. However, if the government changes there might be a dramatic difference as the focus area may shift completely,” said Shubham Agarwal.
“The stock market should not give too much importance to this budget. It wasn’t very upset during budget day and did not move wildly. The focus would be on who comes to power and whether there is a coalition,” said Aarati Krishnan.
“There is an open school of thought that believes that as economies mature, the dividing line between the government and the economy is very clear and irrespective of who comes to power, the economy will continue on its growth path. That is the established understanding of economic growth. Hence, no matter who comes to power in July, it will have very little impact on the economy even if the markets feel some pressure,” said C. Parthasarathy.
Not just the general elections in 2019, but the state elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh in the end of the year are going to play an important role in determining the stock market’s trajectory this year, said experts at the eighth edition of The Finapolis Knowledge Series held in Hyderabad on July 27.
In the eighth edition, four panellists deliberated on the topic “Bulls, Bears and Politics: The Impact of Politics on Stock Markets”. The panel featured Manish Gunwani, chief investment officer of Reliance Mutual Fund, Rajat Jain, chief investment officer at Principal Mutual Fund India, R Srinivasan, editor of The Hindu Business Line, and Nadendla Manohar, former speaker of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly.
In the keynote address, V Ganesh, CEO of Karvy Computershare, said the government is likely to boost expenditure in infrastructure before the elections, which will impact the markets.
“The market will be looking at two factors in the run-up to the elections — how the political alliances evolve and the three state elections of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh in November and December. The existing government has a lot of seats in this belt. Even the vote swings will be analysed threadbare to get a sense of how things are moving. Any news of alliance in the states will have a certain impact on the markets,” said Manish Gunwani.
“Markets would like predictability and certainty,” said Rajat Jain.
“Domestic investors do not like to be a part of uncertainty and hence, they only participate after the elections,” said R Srinivasan.
Agreeing with other panellists that the markets look for stability in governance, Nadendla Manohar said, “The markets doing well is a reflection of the economy. However, there are several other issues other than political ones at play in the markets. The agrarian sector is badly hit and the farmers believe that the government has not done enough. Whatever they have done in the form of the recent minimum support price programme has come too late. These factors will play an important role in the markets and in politics this year,” he said.
All panellists agreed that in the election year markets do well and eventually what happens depends on the budget.
“There a lot of participation of retail investors who comprise more than half of mutual fund assets, at present. A good chunk of this is also on equity. These make the political parties more accountable,” Rajat Jain said.
The evening ended with the audience seeking answers from the panellists on the impact of geo-political tensions on the Indian equity markets and the overall political scenario.
MAR 09 The Economy: Will it be a roller coaster ride?
The cosy relationship between the government and industrial houses can be one of the primary reasons for the rise in non-performing assets of the banking sector which is under the control of the government, said experts at the panel discussion on ‘The Economy: Will it be a roller coaster ride?’ organised by Karvy as part of ‘The Finapolis Knowledge Series’.
The panel discussion featured economic and political analyst Mohan Guruswamy, Santanu Mukherjee, former MD of State Bank of Hyderabad, and Vetri Subramaniam, group president and head equity of UTI Asset Management Company Ltd.
“The banking sector is in a state of crisis and while the RBI has been sleeping, the government has not cracked the whip,” said Guruswamy. He said the political system needed to be reformed to prevent siphoning of funds.
There is also a need to integrate use of technology to crack down on tax defaulters. “In Europe, if you are a tax payer, you will get a notice from the IT department with your social security number and the tax you are expected to pay,” said Mukherjee. A similar system could do wonders in India.
“One of the primary concerns of the economy is that there is not enough credit to lend to genuine borrowers. The lending ability of banks is constrained and to some extent, growth also gets constrained and this in turns limit’s the economy’s potential to grow,” said Subramaniam.
JAN 11 Will Budget 2018 Kickstart Growth and Employment?
Deviating from the popular perception that the Union Budget would be a populist one, panelists speaking at the 6th edition of The Finapolis Knowledge Series organized by the Karvy Group at Park Hotel on January 11 agreed that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley would focus on spending more to create employment opportunities.
Karvy Group chairman and Managing Director C. Parthasarathy, who was one of the panelist speaking on ‘Will Budget 2018 Kickstart Growth and Employment?’, said the Union Budget would be growth oriented. Other speakers were chartered accountant M.R Vikram, Editorial Director of Business Standard A.K. Bhattacharya and Partner in Gandhi and Gandhi chartered accountant firm Ajay Gandhi.
Although there is no magic mantra for success in start-ups, the best formula to get started is it to “Just do It”, said the panelists at the 5th edition of The Finapolis Knowledge Series organised by the Karvy Group on August 24 at The Trident, Hyderabad.
Popular names in the business Dr. Srikanth Sundararajan, Mr Rahul Narvekar, Mr Srinivas Kollipara and Ms Lakshmi Nambiar spoke on the topic “Startups: Is There a Formula for Success” amidst an august gathering of entrepreneurs, academicians and students.
The fourth edition evaluated what future of India holds in terms of opportunities and possible areas of challenges in the environment of rapid globalisation. Panelists were of the opinion that India can play a major role in the global space in spite of China being seen as a rising economy and tough competitor in world markets.
The third edition of the Finapolis series witnessed tremendous footfall especially due to well-known panelists. The discussion centered around common stock market myths and analysed investor speculation while also being suggestive that equities remains the best bet, being one of the strongest in the asset class.
The second edition discussed the myriad after effects of a unified tax structure which was then under talks to be implemented in India: the Goods and Services tax. The discussion debated if this new tax structure could be India’s new mantra for growth.
The first edition of the series was a discussion on how the Indian budget could boost employment opportunities and trigger growth in national income. | 2019-04-24T10:16:45Z | https://www.karvy.com/events/?utm_source=banner |

On Wednesday, Boston Red Sox center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. told the Boston Globe that he will be among the players not attending the World Series champion's celebration at the White House in May.
He told the newspaper that "I don't get into politics. But I won't be going."
After two days of backlash, Bradley – the ALCS MVP – took to Twitter to attempt to clarify things, citing his decision as not political and saying he also would not be attending if Hillary Clinton were in office rather than Donald Trump.
"People have a right to their opinion and I respect that. Doesn't necessarily make it true, but at least you get to express yourself freely I guess.
"I've been to the White House twice (2010 & 2013, yes Obama happen to be in office both times).

The sustainable supply chain focuses on social, environmental and economic performance measures as the main pillars of sustainability. In addition, climate change has become a key New Zealand environmental concern, for which transportation is a significant contributor. The use of air freight for food exports is growing rapidly - especially in New Zealand - but has higher CO2 emissions per tonne than other transport modes, such as a shipping. | 2019-04-26T08:52:13Z | https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/about-us/about-the-university/the-university/sustainability-and-environment/research-and-teaching-for-sustainability/faculty-of-business-and-economics/TavaOlsen.html |
They’re using some form of dynamic modeling, and likely also current sensing that allows them to have a p-p excursion of 20 mm in a 4″ driver. This is completely unheard of in the home market.
Lots of people online are calling it overpriced because they think Apple just slapped a bunch of speakers in a circular configuration and added Siri, but the engineering behind it is extremely audiophile niche stuff. And it does this all automatically with no acoustical set up or technical know how.
Place HomePod anywhere in the room. It automatically analyzes the acoustics, adjusts the sound based on the speaker’s location, and separates the music into direct and ambient sound. Direct sound is beamed to the middle of the room, while ambient sound is diffused into left and right channels and bounced off the wall.
While you can add a second HomePod to get true stereo, there’s more going on here than simple mono sound. And I’ve long been used to Bluetooth speakers from high end companies such as Bose that fill a room with sound using a single speaker, frequently priced around $300.

Scientists have notched upward their concern about the Bay's blue crab population, warning in their latest report that agencies need to begin crafting new plans to rebuild the Chesapeake's most valuable fishery.
The report from the Chesapeake Bay Stock Assessment Committee, which includes scientists and fishery managers from around the Bay, said the crab population remains at low levels and that this year's crab catch will almost certainly exceed the committee's overfishing threshold.
Scientists say a single year of overfishing is not necessarily a cause for alarm.
"One year of bouncing above that line does not a catastrophe make," said Lynn Fegley, a fisheries scientist with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and chair of the stock assessment committee. But if crab abundance does not start to increase, she added, "then we're compounding the problem."
The committee's report predicted that when this year's harvest data is compiled, it will show that about 63 percent of the Bay's legal size crabs were harvested. The overfishing threshold-the percentage of adults that can be sustainably taken-is 53 percent. In 2006, the exploitation rate was 50 percent.
The jump is not caused by an unusually high catch-scientists expect the 2007 harvest to be about 48.7 million pounds, roughly the same as the 48.9 million pounds landed in 2006.
The problem is that last year's reproduction, as measured in the annual Baywide winter dredge survey, was the second lowest since the survey began in 1989. The same level of fishing on a smaller population pushes the exploitation rate higher.
Blue crabs have tremendous reproductive capability; a single female can produce up to 8 million eggs. That creates the possibility that this winter's survey could find an upward tick in reproduction, in which case the 2008 harvest could fall below the overfishing threshold.
"We'd all love to see recruitment have a banner year and not be in this situation next year," said Derek Orner, a fisheries biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Chesapeake Bay Office. "But the way everything is pointing right now isn't good."
Part of the reason for concern is that the blue crab stock has showed no real sign of rebounding. After a precipitous drop in the crab population in the late 1990s, states imposed regulations to reduce fishing pressure. Those actions are credited with halting the population drop, but instead of increasing, crab abundance stabilized at a level well below the long-term average.
No one is sure why crabs have not bounced back. Some say predation on blue crabs may have increased over time, perhaps as a result of the robust striped bass population. Other possibilities include changes in local ocean currents, which influence the survival of larval crabs, or the decline of underwater grasses in the lower Bay, which juvenile crabs use as shelter.
Whatever the cause, scientists have long warned that a low stock size makes it particularly vulnerable to natural fluctuations, such as last year's poor reproduction.
As a result, the committee's annual advisory report recommends that agencies begin making plans for the next steps in management. Specifically, it called on agencies to "work with stakeholders to define goals for the blue crab fisheries and subsequently develop a comprehensive management plan for achieving these goals."
It added, "This plan should include specific management actions for rebuilding a depressed stock, for promoting sustainability and for ensuring blue crabs do not become overfished."
Although the committee has expressed concern about the low abundance of blue crabs for years, this was the first time its report specifically called for the development of new blue crab management plans.
"We want to start having a collaborative effort with the people who have the largest economic stake in this, and that is the watermen," Fegley said. "We are not asking them to tell us what to do. But we are asking them to participate in a process because we would like to get out ahead of this. We'd rather be proactive than reactive."
Committee members said the plan should outline management actions to be taken if, for example, overfishing continues to take place, or if crabs fall below a certain level of abundance. The idea, they say, is to have actions ready to go if those thresholds are reached.
Larry Simns, president of the Maryland Watermen's Association, said that's a good idea. In the past, he said watermen felt regulations were rushed through that were unduly harmful.
"We need to start ahead of time and think of what we might need to do," he said. "Right now, we're not in a position that we need to do anything. But if it gets any worse, we need to have something ready so we know what we're going to do. We want it to be worthwhile and not disastrous to the watermen."
Some preliminary efforts are already under way. The Virginia Marine Resources Commission this year convened a panel of experts, including scientists from Maryland and other states, to review all of its blue crab fishing regulations.
The idea is to identify the regulations that overlap, are ineffective, or need to be modified to achieve desired results, and then to recommend possible changes, said Robert O'Reilly, the VMRC's deputy chief of fisheries management and a member of the stock assessment committee.
One issue they are looking at is how to address "latent effort." Right now, not all fishing licenses are being used. If all that potential fishing effort were to suddenly be exerted, fishing pressure on blue crabs could increase sharply.
Any recommendations could be sent to stakeholder groups and ultimately help shape future regulations.
"In the past, it was almost after the fact that the stakeholders and the industry was provided the opportunity to provide input," O'Reilly said. "Here's an opportunity to have that same kind of input from various concerns, and in the beginning stages."
Some believe a comprehensive overhaul of the fishery is needed-not just revising existing regulations- to benefit both crabs and fishermen.
Current regulations are complex and regulate the days and number of hours blue crabs can be fished, where they can be fished, the types and amounts of gear that can be used for different types of crabs-soft, hard and peelers.
Ultimately, those regulations are designed to make fishing inefficient as a means of controlling the harvest, said Bill Goldsborough, a fisheries scientist with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
Instead, he said, management agencies should look at alternative management schemes, such as a "rights based" system in which the number of commercial fishermen would be limited, and each would be assigned a level of fishing effort-such as the number of crab pots that could be fished. Those rights could be bought and sold among fishermen in ways that ensure the blue crab is not overfished, but also ensure that those who remain in the fishery can still make a living.
Such alternative management scenarios were being suggested by economists to a special Bi-State Blue Crab Committee created by the Chesapeake Bay Commission in the late 1990s. That committee's work led to new actions that cut fishing pressure by 15 percent starting in 2000 and stabilized the population. But the committee was disbanded by the states before alternative fishing scenarios were fully explored.
Those alternatives were intended to promote larger crabs in the fishery that would have been more valuable to fishermen, and have more reproductive capacity to help sustain the stock.
"We were on the cusp of considering some fundamental changes in the way crabs are managed, and that's when the whole thing was disbanded," Goldsborough said. "The only way you get something like that is if you have some kind of formal bi-state deliberation. This nipping around the edge just isn't going to cut it anymore."
Tom Miller, a fisheries scientist with the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science and a member of the stock assessment committee, agreed that identifying long-term goals were as important as identifying abundance levels that would trigger further action.
The crab fishery is particularly difficult to manage because it runs most of the year and involves multiple types of gears and sectors which often target different portions of the stock.
Depending on what people want, Miller said it's possible watermen could be allowed to take more crabs with less regulations for shorter periods of time, rather than fewer numbers of crabs with more regulations over a longer period of time. But those decisions require managers and stakeholders to agree on a common goal for Bay blue crabs-and the fishery they support.
"These are all trade-off questions that there is not a scientific answer to," Miller said. "It doesn't matter to the stock whether 1,000 crabs are caught in one day, or 100 crabs are caught for 100 days. It is the same impact. Those are policy and socio-political questions. And I'm glad I don't have to solve them, they're much harder."
The 2006 harvest of 48.9 million pounds was among the lowest reported since 1945.
Recruitment (a measure of reproduction) in the 2006-07 winter dredge survey was the second lowest since the survey began in 1989.
The number of spawning age females in the winter dredge survey was below the survey's long-term average.
The density of adult and juvenile crabs found by the survey in recent years is less than half of densities found in the early 1990s.
When this year's blue crab harvest figures are collected, scientists believe it will show that overfishing was taking place. But overfishing, they note, is not as serious as being overfished-which they say is not taking place.
An overfished population is one in which the absolute stock size drops to a point where it may not be able to maintain itself. Tom Miller, a fisheries scientist with the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, compares being overfished to being bankrupt. "You don't have enough money in your account to meet all your obligations," he said. "The overfished definition means there just aren't enough crabs around to meet what we think are the obligations of the stock." Those obligations may include not only maintaining the population, but also fulfilling ecosystem roles.
A 2005 blue crab stock assessment set the overfished threshold at 86 million age 1-plus blue crabs, as estimated from the annual winter dredge survey. According to the stock assessment, the population has hit that level only once-in 1999. Last winter's dredge survey estimated 122 million age 1-plus crabs in the Bay.
Overfishing occurs when the rate of fish harvest exceeds the rate needed to sustain the stock over time. If overfished is like being bankrupt, then overfishing means you're spending too much, Miller said. "You can have money in your bank account and be spending it too fast, but as long as you don't spend it too fast for too long a period, you are probably are going to be all right," he said. "If you continue spending it too fast over several years, then you increase the risk of becoming bankrupt. If you overfish, you increase the risk of becoming overfished."
In the case of the blue crab, the 2005 stock assessment set the overfishing threshold at 53 percent of the adult population. The threshold has been exceeded several times in recent years, including 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004. | 2019-04-25T23:40:57Z | https://www.bayjournal.com/article/results_of_latest_blue_crab_survey_spurs_call_for_action |

Transport has long been recognised as the hardest part of the global economy to decarbonise. Sitting outside the remit of schemes such as the EU’s carbon Emissions Trading Scheme, the road sector has traditionally depended on biofuel mandates to reduce its carbon footprint in Europe and North America. Since these schemes were launched at meaningful levels of renewable consumption in Europe and the US more than a decade ago demand has been ratcheting steadily higher. Exponential growth in liquid renewable transport fuel solutions however is still needed to keep governments and fuel providers on track to overarching climate change commitments. To manage the explosive growth, PRIMA has created the roadmap needed for the energy, regulatory and investor stakeholders to keep on top of this huge and fast-moving sector.
The EU says its transport sector needs to hit a 30% cut in its transport carbon emissions by 2030 to keep the bloc on track to meeting overarching carbon emission reduction targets. “Current trends” in the makeup of vehicle fleets, driving habits and existing carbon reduction schemes are expected to drive a 12% cut in emissions by 2030 compared to 2005. This leaves another 18% cut in emissions needed across a sector still seen as 88% reliant on fossil fuels for its mobility by 2030, with entrenched reliance on fossil fuels for mid-term mobility putting the onus on the international refining sector to respond.
Outside established “Federal” markets in the US and Europe, many more state and national governments the Americas, Asia and Africa have rolled out similar initiatives with a view to carbon emissions reduction. This has established a global demand footprint for low carbon fuels, awakening the interest of international investors looking to stimulate the development of scale solutions to the carbon emissions problem posed by transport.
Increasingly sophisticated sustainability methodologies have already shifted established mandates’ onus away from relatively easy to scale crops to harder-to-understand waste streams able to compete with other zero emissions vehicle technologies such as renewably-powered batteries in terms of their minimal carbon emissions. This approach is a key component of the “circular economy” philosophy espoused by the EU. The European Commission has cemented the approach post-2020 in its recently rubber stamped RED II directive on renewable energy, which will be accompanied by a Fuel Quality Directive requiring all EU member states to document the carbon emission pathways of their transport fuel consumption to achieve a 6% headline cut in emissions by 2020.
The main beneficiaries of the trend so far have been the refining firms which have already invested heavily in development waste oil supply chains and the drop-in processing technologies able to convert them into high quality fuel. Other refiners are scrambling in their wake to develop their own long-term profitable renewable fuel manufacturing businesses based around conventional refining assets. The aim is for these to deliver corporate objectives on emissions and sustainability while staking out high energy density liquid transportation fuels’ footprint against competing technologies.
Global investments announced to date suggest the global footprint for so-called renewable diesel — a direct diesel substitute produced at refinery scale from renewable biomass feedstocks — is set to surge. Announced projects in Europe look set to more than double capacity from 2.4mn t/yr last year to around 5.5mn t by the early 2020s. This will be dwarfed by the more than 8mn t of capacity on the drawing board in the US, compared to an established US footprint of less than 2mn t/yr at present. Asian oil firms are also looking to get in on the game, with announced plans to convert refining assets to run renewable biomass so far unquantifiable in throughput terms.
This armada of new fixed asset investment will need feedstock to convert into high-value, low carbon drop in fuel. The scramble is on to secure viable streams of suitable waste at scale while building the trading and origination teams to support these new business lines and manage their associated pricing and contractual risk going forward. These teams need visibility across sophisticated and opaque global supply chains and policy jurisdictions to operate effectively and profitably. Investors need the same tools to decide where to channel funds to achieve optimum carbon emissions and financial returns.
Now entering its third year of publication, PRIMA’s Daily Low Carbon Fuels and Feeds Report has established itself as the handbook for firms looking to navigate this new sector. Alongside its comprehensive suite of daily price points across the waste fuel and feed spectrum, PRIMA keeps the global industry updated with news and insight on the asset investments, product flows and policy changes which are steering the complex as it expands.

In the rapidly evolving arena of molecular medicine, which prominently includes genetic cancer risk assessments and precision cancer medicine, there are several towering giants in the room which, unfortunately, rarely receive the essential attention they deserve. These are the closely related issues of (a) ensuring privacy with the aim of absolute security of all collected genetic data and (b) the process whereby decisions are made regarding the actual use of an individual’s germline and somatic genetic information.
The recent widely discussed news story regarding the arrest of a suspect in the Golden State Killer murder and assault spree that occurred over many years in California was based, at least in part, on information obtained from a DNA sample previously supplied by a relative for an entirely unrelated purpose—unrelated to any request for use by a law enforcement agency.1 This illustrates both areas of concern noted above. Although it is highly doubtful anyone would question the aim of the effort to find and bring to justice a person responsible for a truly horrendous series of crimes, the chief issue is the use of these data, or any DNA information, without the permission or at least the knowledge of that individual.
If it is considered acceptable for a governmental agency to use an individual’s germline genetic data without permission or without informing the person of the intended use, what other purposes might be proposed by the government or a commercial entity that fall far short of the worthy societal goal of attempting to capture a serial killer? To be clear, in this discussion there is no intent to challenge the actions of law enforcement in this process, but solely to use this event to acknowledge the importance of the discussion of the issue of genetic privacy and security.
In addition, there was the recent commentary describing a scientific report that suggested the potential utility of a “polygenic score” in an examination of educational attainment.2,3 As noted in the news story, “Research like this makes many people nervous. Linking social inequalities to DNA—isn’t this eugenics?”2 One can argue that the conduct of responsible research that benefits societal goals and employs DNA data should be encouraged, but meaningfully strong safeguards must be in place to ensure that intentional or unintentional uses of such data that may foster intolerance or divisiveness are neither encouraged nor permitted.
One major danger in the documented abuse of genetic data through ill-conceived or poorly managed commercial or academic activities is the loss of individual and overall societal support for the potentially enormous value that thoughtful and scientifically valid examination of germline variants within the population can ultimately provide.
Further, there is growing evidence of the potential clinical utility of knowledge of the presence of specific normal germline variants, which may directly impact cancer outcomes as well as the efficacy or toxicity of certain anticancer therapeutics. Again, if individuals are unwilling to agree to have their genetic profiles examined and be followed for outcomes because of fears of data security breaches, or unauthorized or misuse of the information, it will simply not be possible to learn if such testing is of clinical relevance. And that unfortunate result will surely be a major missed opportunity for future patients with cancer and our entire society. | 2019-04-26T00:54:17Z | https://www.onclive.com/publications/Oncology-live/2018/vol-19-no-20/genetic-revolution-should-not-overlook-privacy-concerns |
So far, the leading candidate in the search for dark matter has wimped out. No one is giving up on it, but scientists are pondering some other possibilities just in case.
Dark matter emits no detectable energy. Yet astronomers “see” it by measuring its gravitational pull on the visible matter around it. Those observations tell us that there’s a lot more dark matter than normal matter.
The leading explanation for dark matter is a heavy subatomic particle known as a WIMP. But years of searches haven’t produced a single confirmed WIMP, and none have been seen in the experiments with the Large Hadron Collider. A gamma-ray glow from the center of the Milky Way galaxy could be produced by colliding WIMPs, but there are other possible explanations as well.
So researchers are looking for particles that would be much less massive than WIMPs, which makes them even more difficult to detect. And others are going in the opposite direction — looking for enormous numbers of black holes.
When black holes merge, they emit gravitational waves, which create “ripples” in space. Detectors have seen waves from two such mergers, between black holes that are up to about 30 times heavier than the Sun. A recent study said that the number of such mergers could tell us the total number of these black holes, which were formed in the early universe. If there are enough of them, they could account for all or part of the dark matter — leaving WIMPs in the dark. | 2019-04-21T09:04:43Z | https://www.stardate.org/radio/program/dark-alternatives |

Russell Brand has seemingly recovered from the underperforming Arthur remake he headlined, and will co-star opposite Julianne Hough in Diablo Cody's untitled directorial debut.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film centres on a conservative woman (Hough) who loses her faith after a plane crash. Doing the sensible thing and going to Las Vegas to "live the life of a sinner" she ends up meeting Brand's stranger who makes her feel whole again. Sounds very Cameron Crowe, and I like it. Cody won an Oscar for her brilliant screenplay Juno, and has since worked on a bunch of projects - most notably Jennifer's Body, which didn't do great coin. In Cody's defence the problems with that film were more directorial than script based.
She's also just penned the movie Young Adult for her Juno director Jason Reitman, which will star Charlize Theron and Patrick Wilson. | 2019-04-19T03:05:29Z | https://entertainment.ie/cinema/movie-news/russell-brand-join-diablo-codys-directorial-debut-248275/ |

Adorn yourself with this treasure of the sea! An exquisite nautilus shell has been rendered in beautiful French enamel and accented with a single pearl in this sterling silver pendant. The enamel is fashioned in a technique known as "plique-a-jour", which translates to "the light of day". In this painstaking process, enamel is captured between wires of silver, creating a stained glass effect. The enamel has an unusal salmon color, which is complemented perfectly by the off-white button style freshwater pearl.
The pendant is strung on a sterling silver cable chain, adjustable up to 18 inches in length, with a lobster claw clasp. The pendant and chain have a rhodium finish, so they will never tarnish. The pendant has a hidden bail, and measures one inch in length.
Consider the matching earrings: 145-519-947. | 2019-04-25T14:17:35Z | https://www.plantejewelers.com/collections/jewelry-necklaces-and-pendants/products/french-enamel-nautilus-shell-pendant |

Scrutongate is not a means of ingress to Sir Roger Scruton’s farm in Wiltshire, England, but a digital witchhunt against the English-speaking world’s most eminent public philosopher. The mob already know where Scruton lives: The witchfinder-generals of the left have been “no platforming” him since the early 1980s. The novelty is that this time, the digital denouncers are massing at Scruton’s virtual gate because of architecture.
In early November, Britain’s Conservative government appointed Scruton the unpaid chairman of its Building Better, Building Beautiful commission. Scruton has long campaigned against Britain’s postwar penchant for building badly: throwing up hideous public housing in a cheap and unpopular pastiche of modernist styles. The problem recently has been that governments are failing to keep up with demand for homes of any style at all. In the decade between 2007 and 2017, immigration increased Britain’s population by nearly 10 perecent, from just over 60 million to just over 66 million. The cost of housing has risen by more than 5 percent in every year since 2014, and faster in desirable areas of London and the commuter belt towns protected from further development by a “Green Belt” of woods and legislation.
The Englishman increasingly struggles to buy the home that should be his castle. After the war, Labour established itself as the builder of sprawling public housing projects it called “council estates”: The socialist architecture was part of the architecture of state socialism. Later, Margaret Thatcher established the Conservatives as the patrons of the aspirant working class by allowing council tenants to buy their homes. Now, the Conservatives under Theresa May have committed to refreshing the vote-winning compact between government and affordable housing. | 2019-04-23T10:11:50Z | https://qoshe.com/the-weekly-standard/dominic-green/the-bizarre-kerfuffle-over-roger-scruton-s-appoi/18499263 |
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A pair of Buckeyes were doing their best to hold off a team with five majors between them at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf.
John Cook and Joey Sindelar, who have known each other since their college days at Ohio State, shot a better-ball 10-under 62 on Friday to share the first-round lead with Mark O'Meara and Nick Price in the Champions Tour event.
Fred Couples, a three-time winner in five starts on the 50-and-over tour, and Jay Haas were a stroke back along with Blaine McCallister-Bob Tway and Brad Bryant-Lonnie Nielson. Ken Green, making his first Champions Tour start since having his lower right leg amputated after an auto accident in June that killed his brother and girlfriend, teamed with Mike Reid for a 67.
AVONDALE, La. — Lee Janzen, Alex Cejka, Brian Davis, Greg Owen and Jason Bohn were tied for the lead at 7 under when second-round play in the Zurich Classic was suspended because of heavy rain.
Lightning forced the suspension of play at 12:57 p.m., and heavy rain continued for hours at TPC Louisiana. Play was officially called for the day at 5:21 p.m.
Janzen (66), Davis (66) and Alex Cejka (67) completed the second round, and Owen had one hole left. Bohn wasn't able to start the round.
Only 47 players finished the round.
JEJU ISLAND, South Korea — Defending champion Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand shot a 5-under 68 for a share of the lead with Argentina's Tano Goya at 8 under in the suspended second round of the fog-disrupted Ballantine's Championship.
Goya shot a 70 after completing his first round in the morning with 66.
The tournament has been cut from 72 to 54 holes. The third and final round will be played Sunday, with two-thirds of the field having to complete their second rounds by Saturday afternoon. | 2019-04-24T22:23:07Z | https://www.poconorecord.com/article/20100424/SPORTS/4240344 |

If you're wondering why you haven't heard of the first Yoostar game, it's simply because there wasn't one. The original Yoostar is a combination of PC hardware, movie-karaoke software and social features that allow users to put themselves into famous film scenes, and then share the recorded video with a community.
Kinect and Move have already got people thinking of new forms of entertainment. It is interesting to see where this goes. | 2019-04-19T16:42:45Z | https://n4g.com/news/563539/videogamer-yoostar-2-hands-on |
The comparison to animals can make the character appear more barbaric or vulgar. This can also make him look somewhat of a bad person. The writer appears to make Sweeney look vulgar when he places him in what appears to be a brothel. Sweeney is also made to look as if he is paranoid. Sometimes paranoia or guilt is caused by past traumas. Sweeney’s character or personality is made to look distrustful, bad and vulgar. This could have been how the writer envisioned men in general. There are two females also in the poem. The two females appear to be in a brothel, so they may be thought of as prostitutes or whores. The reason one may think that they are prostitutes is because one of the females tries to sit on Sweeney’s lap right in the beginning. She also fell and Sweeney did not help her. It also appears that they did not know each other. The two females are made to look as if they are plotting against Sweeny. This makes the two females appear as if they cannot be trusted. There are other characters in this poem. They appear to have more of a silent role. The poem talks about other figures, but does not name them. It is somewhat difficult to understand if some of the other figures are other men or if they are referring to Sweeney. There is for sure a waiter in the poem. He appears to be an innocent bystander. He is just mentioned when he brings out food to the table. He does not appear to be important or necessary to the meaning of the poem. | 2019-04-20T10:17:41Z | https://www.bartleby.com/essay/Sweeney-Among-the-Nightingales-P3D4R29K6ZYS |

Various Small Fires in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles–based gallery Various Small Fires (VSF) opened its second location in the Hannamdong area of Seoul, South Korea, on April 1. The new space’s inaugural exhibition is a two-person show with new works by Billy Al Bengston and Ed Ruscha, marking Bengston’s first gallery presentation in South Korea, and Ruscha’s first in the country since 1999. Solo shows of work by Joshua Nathanson, Josh Kline, and Math Bass will follow.
Esther Kim Varet established VSF in 2012. In 2014, Johnston MarkLee Architects designed its current five-thousand-square-foot space on Highland Boulevard, which features an outdoor area for installations and large-scale sculpture works. Its Seoul gallery is located in a former nail salon. VSF is named after Ruscha’s 1964 photography book, Various Small Fires and Milk, and represents artists such as Liz Magic Laser, Nikki S. Lee, and Amy Yao. | 2019-04-25T13:04:52Z | https://www.artforum.com/news/los-angeles-based-gallery-various-small-fires-opens-seoul-outpost-79205 |
My mother has always been the live wire in our family. If there is mischief going on, she is at the center of it. Humor is a gift she has and uses frequently…you just don’t want to sit with her in church as she will always get you tickled about something. I often joke and say that my Dad raised three children and Mom.
Mom, or Mimi as her grandchildren call her, always looks for the best in people. What a gift that is. She can always recognize when you need a pat on the back, a kind word of encouragement, or just need to eat a piece of cake (sometimes a whole cake if the conversations take a long time).
My granddaughter Amelia seems to be following in Mimi’s footsteps. She is three and already enjoys humor in her daily conversations. She is another one you don’t want to sit with in church. Isn’t it amazing the things we pick up from people we admire and love? If you are full of laughter and enjoy life it is contagious and people are attracted to you.
I run into people all the time who tell me how much they love my mom and dad. “They are hilarious” is the usual quote. When situations seem to weigh me down, one good lunch at Cracker Barrel with them will fix it.
As Mother’s Day approaches, I am reminded how lucky I am to have such a wonderful mother. She turns her time and attention to the things that matter in life. My mother served as one of the many sources of inspiration I gathered for my newest book, Bouquets of Love. I authored this quote-filled memory journal to pay homage to the things Mom spends her time on daily—family, friendship and faith. I had always wanted to pull together a collection of quotes, thoughts, prayers, and dreams about the important women in life, and now it’s finally coming full circle.
Bouquets of Love is for granddaughters, daughters, daughters-in-law, and moms, and it celebrates the bouquets of love that each brings to our lives daily.
My children will have been lucky.
Her love knows no limit and is unconditionally given.
A coworker emailed the link to your blog and I have finally read one. I was especially drawn to this one, because I was also blessed with a happy, loving mom and dad. I realize now that not every child is so blessed. Those of us who have that legacy have only one choice: Share the love! Thanks for your testimony and the great times I remember with my own Mom who died in 1988.
Phyllis, I love your Mom and Dad! I have things in my house that your mom has made and I bought at silent auctions at church and things she made for me just to be nice! I love and cherish every one! Some of them are hand painted and I have a basket with a fall arrangement. Between the two of you the talents are too many to list!
“Her love knows no limit and is unconditionally given”….so true!!! My mother passed away over 10 years ago but her unconditional and limitless love still inspire and stay with me even today. I miss her terribly but I try to emulate the things that I knew were important to her and I often wonder what she would think if she were able to share the happenings in my life today. My husband and I were not able to have children but we adopted two girls. We are going to celebrate our first grandbaby in a couple of months. Our oldest daughter also has two young very sweet step daughters. They only entered my life about a year ago and call me GiGi. Adopting children gives you a very different perspective on motherhood and it definitely opens your heart to receive many “adopted” sons and daughters that come across life’s path that need mentorship and friendship. Thank you for sharing a few lines from your prayer with us. It is my prayer also!
My grandchildren call me GiGi. I just love it. I will brainwash them and tell them it stands for Glorious Grandmother!
I look forward to reading your book! My mom is a wonderful lady in my life, and I also hope I can be half the mom she is to me to my children! My mom got me hooked on Southern Lady- and now she sends it to me as a gift! I enjoy the magazine so much, and now I look forward to reading your posts here, too. Thank you for sharing your writing gifts with us!
From all the comments you have shared through your written words, I believe you have inherited the same sweet, thoughtful spirit and sense of joy that you admire in your mother. I feel sure that your children and grand children feel the same way about you as you do about your much-loved mother.
What a beautiful prayer and tribute to your mother. I wish I had it for my for my mother’s memorial service two years ago, she would have appreciated it as I do. My grandchildren call their other grandmother mimi and call me memo. My oldest grandson came up with it when he was about 2 1/2 mostly because it rhymed with my husband’s name. That was 16 years ago and now he’s 6’5″ tall and he still calls me that. I am going to read your lovely book then pass it to my daughters and to my one grand-daughter and have them sign the fly leaf with the date they read it with a comment or two. Then my grand-daughter will hand it down to her family like an heirloom. Thank you for a beautiful book!
Even though I never had children, there is nothing more important that being a Mother ~ as God intended those who are to be. The most important “career’ ever….
I can not wait to read this book & share it with my wonderful Sister. Thank you.
Phyllis my grandchildren call me Mimi too! How wonderful to remember mothers and daughters and what special people they are in each our lives. Thank you so much for the sweet prayer it pulls at our heart strings.
Dear Phyllis, Thank you for this beautiful text. Very recently, my dear mom was diagnosed with what I called the big A disease. Her memory fading is a difficult path that we need to take together, me holding her hand and reminding her all the time how wonderful she was and how wonderful she is still.
Will the book be ready by Mothers Day. I would love to give it to my mom.
Yes you can click on the link on this post.
We should all be remembering our mothers and grandmothers in this special month of May. How nice to include daughters and granddaughters too. My daughter and daughter-on-law are both very special in their own way and my daughter-in-law is the mother of my two grandchildren. How blessed we are to have each other. Although my Mother has been gone for 50 years, she is still the greatest influence on our family through her children and grandchildren who were molded by her example and her prayers. We knew that she prayed for us and asked God to protect us when she could not. What a blessing she was and is.
I agree that you can hear your mom speaking all the time in your mind. I love it.
Thank you. Brings back wonderful memories of my mother-in-law! She was a light in my life.
Such a sweet post, Phyllis, and the last verse is beautiful.
Our mothers are so special, and I truly miss mine.
Mimi has shared so much with all of us through the years!
I recently preordered your new book and can’t wait to get it! I love books that include inspirational quotations. I lost my Mama in 1989 but she is always in my heart. I joyfully celebrate Mother’s Day every year with my children and grandchildren. However, a part of me is always a little sad when I think about Mama and how much she is missed. Happy Mother’s Day, Phyllis!
Thank you so much for your sweet note. Moms are treasures!!
I ordered multiple “Bouquets of Love” to gift to the special women in my life . Thank you for such beautiful sentiments written in your new book . You inspire me !
Thank you so much. You honor me with your words of encouragement.
That’s really a nice prayer! I know you make your mom really proud. I am going to get your book read it and pass it on to my daughters!
This book is not just about mothers. There are thoughts on daughters, granddaughters and thoughts to ponder. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much. | 2019-04-23T03:53:06Z | https://www.theribboninmyjournal.com/how-my-mom-inspired-bouquets-of-love/ |

In theUnited States, in addition to federal taxes you will also have to pay state taxes in most states. Each state has its own taxes and rate of taxation.
You will have to pay a state income tax in most states. The income rate of state income tax will depend on the state law. The rate is generally lower than the Federal income tax. Even in states with state income tax, not all income is taxes. In some states, you have to pay taxes only on income from dividends and interests. Generally a person’s state income tax is based on his or her Federal income tax returns. State law generally uses your Federal adjusted gross income or taxable income as the starting point. To file you federal income tax return, you must file Form 1040. There are different variations of this form based on the filing status.
The State ofCaliforniaimposes state income tax. You must pay aCaliforniaincome tax over and above the federal income tax.Californiaincome tax is payable on the income earned inCalifornia. You have to payCaliforniaincome tax even if you are not a resident ofCaliforniabut you have earned an income from aCaliforniasource.Californiastate income tax returns must be filed on Form 540. Like the Federal Form 1040, there are different variations of this form based on the filing status.
As a tax payer you can claim certain deductions on your tax returns – both state and federal. The most commons tax deductions include necessary business expenses, educational expenses, medical and dental expenses, mortgage expenses, etc.
If you are conducting a business and you have employees you must pay payroll taxes. Federal payroll taxes are administered by the Internal Revenue Service and include Medicare, social security, unemployment insurance and income tax withholding. Many states have their own payroll taxes. InCalifornia, the payroll taxes are administered by the EDD or the Employment Development Department. You must payCaliforniaincome tax if you hire one or more persons inCaliforniato work for you and you pay them a salary or wage. If you are paying more than $100 in total wages to one or more of your employees in one calendar quarter, then you must register with the EDD. Even households that employ workers to do household work and pay wages will be subject to payroll taxes in California and must register with the EDD if they pay $750 in cash wages to one or more household employees in one calendar quarter. Californiapayroll tax includes unemployment insurance, employment training tax, state disability insurance andCaliforniapersonal income tax. State disability insurance and personal income tax are withheld from the wages paid to the employees.
Non-payment of federal and state taxes is a serious offense. If you default on your tax payments, you will receive a notice from the IRS (for federal taxes) and the state tax agency asking you to pay the taxes. If you still do not pay despite having received the notice, the IRS and the state tax agency will take steps to collect the taxes from you. The IRS and the state tax agency can fix a lien on your assets and garnish your wages and bank accounts. The IRS and the state tax agency can offset any tax refund that you may be entitled to against your tax debts.
When you receive a notice of a tax debt, you can challenge the notice if you believe it is not correct. If your tax returns have been chosen for auditing, you will be allowed to present your side of the case. You can appear in person or through a tax practitioner or attorney. You can explain to the tax official the basis on which you have filed your reply. If the results of the audit are against you, then you can appeal against the result.
As a tax payer you have certain rights. The IRS and the state tax agency must treat you in a professional and respectful manner. Your privacy must be protected. All your communication must treated with confidentiality. Your returns cannot be accessed by anyone else. If you are called on to provide any information, you have the right to know why the information is being sought and the information will be used. You have the right to know what steps will be taken if you do not provide requested information. You don’t have to pay more than the correct amount of tax. If you cannot pay all of your tax when it is due, you can request to be permitted to make monthly installment payments. You can request a waiver of penalties if you demonstrate that you acted in good faith and in a reasonable manner or you relied upon a wrong advice given to you by an IRS or state tax employee. You can appeal any decision on your tax liability and collection action.
If you have tax debts and action is being taken against you to collect the tax debts, you can make an offer in compromise. By making an offer in compromise, you are offering to pay less than the full amount of the taxes owed by you. There is no obligation on the part of the IRS or the state tax agency to accept your offer in compromise. Your offer in compromise will only be considered if you have exhausted all your other options such as installment agreements. The amount you offer must be equal to or exceed your reasonable collection potential as determined by the IRS or the state tax agency. Generally an offer in compromise will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances when you can prove that collection of the tax will create an economic hardship or will be unfair and inequitable.
You can also enter into an installment agreement to pay off your tax debts. In an installment agreement you can pay off the tax debts in installments. However your installment agreement must be accepted by the IRS or the state tax agency.
Bankruptcy can discharge most of your debts. However tax debts will survive bankruptcy. Tax debts cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. | 2019-04-18T10:57:12Z | https://www.tomhoganlaw.com/ask-a-lawyer/tax-law/tax |
There will be plenty of questions surrounding USC sophomore quarterback Aaron Corp next season, namely about the idea of playing in front of more than 102,000 at Ohio State in the second game of the season.
Or should there be? Corp has never started a college football game, but history suggests nerves should not be an issue.
That was evident during Corp’s junior year at Orange Lutheran High School, when USC coach Pete Carroll showed up with then-assistant coaches Steve Sarkisian and Lane Kiffin to watch Corp throw for the first time.
The composure has carried over to USC. Corp overcame the pressure of winning the quarterback job while throwing just one interception in spring practice. He also went against Matt Barkley, the former Gatorade National Player of the Year who graduated high school early in order to participate in USC’s spring practice.
It’s not the first time Corp has been overshadowed by a highly publicized quarterback. He was not USC’s first choice during the recruiting process as the Trojans preferred Jimmy Clausen of Oaks Christian of Westlake Village, who ended up committing to Notre Dame.
But Corp never felt inferior to Clausen, who faced USC last season as the Irish’s starting quarterback.
Although Corp might be soft-spoken, fans should never interpret it for apathy.
“He’s got a mind-set now not (just) to be the best at USC, but what does it take to be the best in the Pac-10 or the best in the nation?” Chris Corp said.
Aaron Corp admitted that winning the starting job will change his preparation, especially after he watched last year’s starter, Mark Sanchez.
Corp and Sanchez were roommates last season and the pair developed a close relationship. Early in the competition, Sanchez predicted Corp would win the job. | 2019-04-24T02:13:16Z | https://www.dailybreeze.com/2009/04/29/usc-football-lack-of-experience-shouldnt-be-an-issue-for-corp/ |

At the end of the day, even the most complex diets come down to a simple fact: consume fewer calories and you will lose weight. However, this is easier said than done, largely because we are so used to eat chips, cookies, candy, and other high-calorie snacks in-between meals. If you are looking for some very low-calorie snacks to replace the typical lineup of chips and candy you are in luck because in this article, you will see 4 foods that have almost no calories.
While it isn’t very exciting, munching on celery is great because it is an extremely low-calorie snack. How low-calorie exactly? Well, for a long time it was actually considered to be a negative calorie food (which means you burned more calories eating it than you gained from the celery). While that is a common myth, it is based on some facts. Two very large pieces of celery will contain roughly 25 calories. Add some seasoning and you have a delicious snack that is high in fiber and contains basically no calories.
Although the idea that they are good for your eyes is a myth, carrots are still a wonder food for those on a diet. A regular sized carrot contains roughly 25 to 30 calories. So, you can chop up a bunch of carrots and not even reach 100 total calories. This is of course not mentioning all the various nutritional benefits of carrots. Add in some low-calorie, low-fat dip and you have an amazing snack to replace chips and dip.
This entry probably caught your eye, after all, so far, we have only listed vegetables, which, while healthy, are a bit boring. However, there are some fun and interesting snacks that also manage to be extremely low in calories. One such example is Jell-O, more specifically, sugar-free Jell-O. Sugar-free Jell-O tastes great and has a whopping 10 calories per serving. If you want to satisfy a sweet tooth without loading up on calories, it isn’t a bad option.
Pickles are a great snack option. Your average pickle has roughly 10 or so calories in it. So, you can chow down on a bunch and not even come close to 100 calories. What really makes pickles great is how flavorful they are. They aren’t just your average boring vegetable, they have a lot of kick to them and you can even make your own quite easily.

The extent of Oxford and Oxfordshire’s unmet housing need is well documented.
Housing affordability in Oxford is renowned for being the worst in the UK, with housing affordability levels being even more stretched than in London. Severe market pressures for housing has culminated in Oxford becoming one of the most challenging cities to afford to live, with the housing affordability ratio being among the highest in the country, nearly twice that of the national average (Oxford’s median house prices are now approximately 17 times average earnings). Oxfordshire’s councils have collectively committed to consider the extent of Oxford’s unmet need and how that need can be sustainably distributed to the neighbouring districts.
Oxford City has become a commuter rat run where many workers cannot afford to live close to their workplaces. By building new homes within walking and cycling distances to the workplace, we can start to alleviate local congestion and protect the countryside. Oxford city has one of the highest in-commuting ratios in the UK with over 15,000 daily commuter trips into the city from the surrounding districts. | 2019-04-22T08:18:40Z | https://www.bayswateroxford.co.uk/ |

The legendary Finn Graff became 80 years old in December 2018, and Avistegnernes Hus i Drøbak celebrated his anniversary with a homage exhibition in January 2019. Illustrators where invited to make a tribute drawing to honour him. Below you can see my contribution. I aimed to capture the essence of his fine-tuned target aim, keen eye, use of symbols and graphic simplicity. Delivering beautiful knockout illustrations in the Norwegian daily press decade after decade.
The following is a selected collection of various self initiated drawings. Some are sold as prints and others are unpublished illustrations commenting on current events.
Sustainable garden (November, 2015). Text in english: «We are sooo going to win at the garden fair!» «For sure! We didn't even need adding fertilizers».
Bad vegetables, (November, 2015). This is a piece (called «Dårlige grønnsaker» in Norwegian), with several names for the different characters which proves very difficult to translate into english in a funny way, since it's based on Norwegian play with words. A few examples in english though: Cool carrot, barking kiwi, cuckoo coconut, puking lima beans. Not so funny when it's translated. Teasing peas works though. To sum it up I depict vegetables/fruit in way that is opposite to the typical «Eat your greens and stay healthy» kind of message. It has proven popular among kids at sales fairs. But anyway. Kids, you should definitely listen to your mom and/or dad and eat your vegetables and fruit. Don't listen to me.

I know that a temporary supression of the hypothalomohypophysial testicular axis occurs, but how about long term? Will a few well spaced cycles of Deca and Test. no more than 1G combined, have a deleterious effect? I hate to think that all those stories about bodybuilders being on a permanent hormonal therapy are true!
it probaly will not , but there is always a chance of that happening.im sure some of the bros on here with more knowledge on this will give more detail.
in some people even an 8 week cycle is enough to effect the hpt-axis permanently. in most people it won't, but the longer the cycle the greater risk you have of permanently effecting your endocrine.
I'm curious about this as well, is there any predisposition that can be determined through medical tests?
it's possible, but none that i know of.
A lot of things have a permanent influence on you HPTA. Vasectomy to name one has been implemented in a lot of early andropause cases (guess what I had). AAS use not just abuse may shut you down for good, but nowadays there are a lot of good urologists and endocrinologists that will help you either by attempting to restore your test production or by supplementing you for live.
Face it people, low test has become very prevalent, the environmental toxins (add AAS to that) have a very profound effect on your HPTA and a lot of people (not just athletes) suffer from this affliction.
thanks a lot bro, that was really informing.
"Face it people, low test has become very prevalent, the environmental toxins (add AAS to that) have a very profound effect on your HPTA and a lot of people (not just athletes) suffer from this affliction."
Talk to some poeple that went to Desert Storm or their family members. Many suffer from the environmental toxins they where exposed to.
Mr Nobody I appreciate your post .
Man, these anwsers really scare me away from a first cycle. Maybe its not worth it after all. I'll rather be moderately large and have high endogeneous test. levels than a temporate increase in size and strenght followed by a crash. If I do decide upon a Ttokkyo Deca cycle, would you say its better to preload 450mg for 4weeks followed by 4 weeks at 300mg, or 300mg for 10 weeks straight. Also would a low dose of TEst. 200-250mg a week require novaldex or HCG ? | 2019-04-23T08:58:45Z | https://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-steroids-questions-answers/15549-do-steroids-cause-permanent-loss-test-level.html |

Russian interference in the 2016 US elections should come as no surprise. Moscow, both under Soviet and neo-Soviet (Putinist) rule, has attempted to influence US elections since the 1920s – usually on the Democratic Party side.
The Soviets historically used the communist-controlled unions and co-opted journalists as the means to manipulate elections. Currently, the Soviets use their old tactics in addition to manipulate social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter.
Leading Soviet nuclear physicist Andrei Sakharov quoted Soviet premier Kruschev in 1961 claiming credit for helping to elect President Kennedy the previous year in his Memoirs.
This is credible, because the pro-Soviet, communist-controlled US labor unions, especially in Chicago, supported Kennedy and he won that election by an incredibly narrow margin – with allegations of widespread voter fraud in Illinois’ Cook County.
According to Sakharov, Kruschev also expressed disgust that when the Soviets met with Kennedy after the elections in Vienna, they did not get the concessions they had hoped for.
“President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev met in Vienna for a two-day summit. In a letter delivered to Khrushchev in March, Kennedy proposed the two leaders meet for an informal exchange of views. Accordingly, they conferred without a set agenda.
In addition to Berlin, Kennedy later told reporters, Khrushchev had berated him on a wide range of Cold War issues, including ‘wars of national liberation’ and nuclear weapons.
After Kennedy was assassinated, the Soviets worked to elect his successor Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Johnson (who had worked under Communist Party member Aubrey Williams in the Roosevelt-era National Youth Administration) beat conservative Barry Goldwater by a wide margin.
By 1960, Chicago Communist Party member David Canter (who had been raised in the Soviet Union) had teamed up with another well known Chicago Communist Party USA member, LeRoy Wolins. The pair owned a company called Translation World Publishers, which specialized in publications from and about the Soviet Union. The company soon attracted the attention of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), which suspected Canter and Wolins of being conduits for Soviet propaganda.
The false charge that Goldwater was a racist was only one of the smear campaigns used against his candidacy by the Soviets and their surrogates. The American Communists covertly covertly assisted in this “active measures” campaign.
This was in fact the address of Translation World Publishers, which was registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act as an agent of the Soviet Union. The co-owners, LeRoy Wolins and David S. Canter, were identified by the House Committee on Un-American Activities as members of the Communist Party USA.
David Canter was the mentor of a young journalist who later became a high level political consultant. His name was David Axelrod. Coincidentally, Axelrod’s mother Myril Axelrod had once worked for another Communist Party-influenced propaganda publication PM, out of New York.
David Axelrod learned well from David Canter, winning several important election campaigns often by blackening the names of his client’s opponents. That’s essentially how David Axelrod got his most important client Barack Obama elected, first to the US Senate, then to the White House.
I was really active in both Obama campaigns. Actually I was his precinct captain for his Senate campaign in Illinois.
And who can forget what a friend President Obama once was to Moscow?
Hillary Clinton‘s involvement in the Uranium One scandal was not her family’s first connection to Moscow. Not long after Bill Clinton became President, he flew to Moscow on Air Force One to meet Boris Yeltsin. Then, on his return flight, he had the plane stop in Prague, Czech Republic.
There he visited the Golden Tiger, a Prague pub. The Czech President had arranged a reunion between the US President and the parents of Bill Clinton’s now-deceased Oxford classmate Jan Kopold.
The frail, white-haired woman across the table from Mr Clinton at the pub on Tuesday night was Jirina Kopold, who met her son Jan Kopold’s American friend when he visited Prague after a visit to the Soviet Union in 1970.
The prominent Czech Communist family seemed to know that young Bill Clinton was destined for great things.
Even in 1970, Clinton seemed to be considering a career in politics: ‘We often discussed how to help Czechoslovakia out of its terrible situation,’ Bedrich Kopold recalled.
‘One day we walked past the American Embassy and I said to Bill, ‘Some day you will come back as ambassador or cultural attache,’ and I laughed. Bill looked at me very seriously and said he well might,’ Kopold continued.
It is likely that every Democratic Party President from Roosevelt onwards has been helped into power, or influenced in significant ways, by Moscow or its agents.
The report published by the White House Council of Economic Advisers examines the cyberattacks cost that malicious cyber activities cause to the U.S. economy.
Paganini: How much cost cyber attacks to the US? According to a report published by the White House Council of Economic Advisers last week, the cyberattacks cost between $57 billion and $109 billion in 2016, and things can go worse in the future.
“This report examines the substantial economic costs that malicious cyber activity imposes on the U.S. economy. Cyber threats are ever-evolving and may come from sophisticated adversaries. Due to common vulnerabilities, instances of security breaches occur across firms and in patterns that are difficult to anticipate.” states the report.
The report analyzed the impact of malicious cyber activities on public and private entities, including DoS attacks, sabotage, business disruption, and theft of proprietary data, intellectual property, and sensitive financial and strategic information.
Damages and losses caused by a cyber attack may spill over from the initial target to economically linked organizations. More exposed are critical infrastructure sectors, at attack against companies and organization in this industry could have a severe impact on the US economy.
The document warns of nation-state actors such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, that are well funded and often conduct sophisticated targeted attacks for both sabotage and cyber espionage.
“Finally, and perhaps most important, if a firm owns a critical infrastructure asset, an attack against this firm could cause major disruption throughout the economy.” reads the report.
The reports also warn of devastating cyberattacks that would target sectors that are internally interconnected and interdependent with other sectors.
The report offered little in the way of new recommendations on improving cybersecurity, but noted that the situation is hurt by “insufficient data” as well as “underinvestment” in defensive systems by the private sector.
In part from Forbes: In 2015, the British insurance company Lloyd’s estimated that cyber attacks cost businesses as much as $400 billion a year, which includes direct damage plus post-attack disruption to the normal course of business. Some vendor and media forecasts over the past year put the cybercrime figure as high as $500 billion and more.
From 2013 to 2015 the cyber crime costs quadrupled, and it looks like there will be another quadrupling from 2015 to 2019. Juniper research recently predicted that the rapid digitization of consumers’ lives and enterprise records will increase the cost of data breaches to $2.1 trillion globally by 2019, increasing to almost four times the estimated cost of breaches in 2015.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) says a significant portion of cybercrime goes undetected, particularly industrial espionage where access to confidential documents and data is difficult to spot. Those crimes would arguably move the needle on the cyber crime numbers much higher.
Large banks, retailers, and federal agencies make the headlines when they are hacked – but all businesses are at risk. According to Microsoft, 20% of small to mid sized businesses have been cyber crime targets.

Wow! Change is indeed the only constant and it is only the volatility of change that changes. Last Monday I wrote the S & P 500 was on the verge of the worst week since October 2008. Last week the S & P 500 was on track for the best week since 2013. The previous week, selloff was predicated upon stronger than expected growth and inflation.
In my view, the pickup in inflation is the real deal. With the continuing tightening of the labor market that is feeding into stronger wage growth, the depreciation of the dollar providing a boost to goods prices and the acceleration of global economies led by the US, all amplified by tax and regulatory reform and an increase in monetary velocity, I think core inflation will be above 2.50% by year end.
Wow! This is a dramatic increase from the current 1.8% year over year core increase. This week the FOMC releases the Minutes from its January meeting. As noted many times, 45 days ago, the market had not yet discounted 2 interest rate increases much less than the forecasted three. Will the Minutes suggest the possibility of a fourth?
Commenting about the data released Friday, import prices were considerably higher than expected. Sentiment surveys surged to the second highest level since 2004. A sub-data point that I find of great significance is that homeowners saying today is a good time to sell rose to the highest level in a decade with respondents believing that home values will increase by 2% in the next year, the highest since 2007.
Many times I have commented about OER or what someone thinks they can rent their home for if the property is indeed a rental. OER is closely correlated to apartment rents and home prices. Rental rates are posting double digit increases for several consecutive years. The data suggests home prices are surging, but this data is skewed by the large urban areas of CA, NY and Northern VA. Generically speaking, home values have still not rebounded back to 2007 levels. Is this about to change as wealth transfers back to Main Street from Wall Street?
As noted many times, OER comprises about 30% to 32% of inflationary indices and has been virtually nonexistent since 2007. Will OER accelerate, the result of increased optimism in home prices as measured by the most recent sentiment survey? If so, how will this data impact inflationary expectations and bond prices?
Last night the foreign markets were mixed. London was down 0.14%, Paris was up 0.11% and Frankfurt was up 0.07%. China was closed for a holiday, Japan was down 1.10% and Hang Sang was down 0.78%.
The Dow should open moderately lower as Treasury yields are heading higher and the dollar is dropping. Oil is up about 1% as OPEC concluded “the markets journey toward equilibrium is gaining speed.” The 10-year is of 7/32 to yield 2.85%. | 2019-04-22T22:32:43Z | http://noisyroom.net/blog/2018/02/20/ |
Last week was truly overwhelming. It was not only "back to school" but also last minute shopping for for my little girl's school materials too. The night before her school opening, I wrapped all of her nine books, yes, nine ; p Talk about cramming!
After buying her a new pair of inexpensive school shoes, we had some afternoon snacks at HotBox Kitchen located along P. Guevarra St. in San Juan.
These days, I really needed my caffeine fix or else, I will have a splitting headache the whole afternoon and could not function well. That's why immediately after entering the restaurant, I ordered a hot cup of brewed coffee. HotBox's coffee in inexpensive at only Php 45.
Poutine is a Canadian dish, originating in the province of Quebec, made with French fries and cheese curds topped with a light brown gravy.

Rhonda Williams (at) Bellsouth (dot) Net or use the comment box – Thank you.
I was wondering if any of you have found that as you enter retirement years and age do you lose the strength of the desire to dress as you did in your 40s and 50s?
What a great question - I think Rhonda is going to be with me - until death do us part.
It is different - but the same - I find it relaxing and euphoric in a different way. It is more of an art expression as opposed to a "I must do this". The expressing of a feeling - not as much obsessed by a feeling. | 2019-04-22T19:04:40Z | http://www.rhondasescape.com/2015/10/sunday-funnies-1018.html |

Global production of chickens has trebled in the past two decades and they are now the most important source of dietary animal protein worldwide. Chickens are subject to many infectious diseases that reduce their performance and productivity. Coccidiosis, caused by apicomplexan protozoa of the genus Eimeria, is one of the most important poultry diseases. Understanding the biology of Eimeria parasites underpins development of new drugs and vaccines needed to improve global food security. We have produced annotated genome sequences of all seven species of Eimeria that infect domestic chickens, which reveal the full extent of previously described repeat-rich and repeat-poor regions and show that these parasites possess the most repeat-rich proteomes ever described. Furthermore, while no other apicomplexan has been found to possess retrotransposons, Eimeria is home to a family of chromoviruses. Analysis of Eimeria genes involved in basic biology and host-parasite interaction highlights adaptations to a relatively simple developmental life cycle and a complex array of co-expressed surface proteins involved in host cell binding.
This paper reports the experimental transmission of a bird parasite into jirds. Infective larvae of Cardiofilaria nilesi obtained from laboratory colonized Coquillettidia crassipes mosquitoes which had fed on an infected chicken were inoculated subcutaneously into jirds. The number of larvae per jird varied from 10 to 228. Microfilaraemia appeared 22 to 89 days after inoculation of the infective larvae. Experiments were carried out with 24 jirds through six generations extending over a period of 22 months and 17 produced patent infections. At present 8 infected jirds are being maintained in the laboratory; their patent periods ranging from 6 to 13 months. However, the longest patent period observed was about thirteen months. The percentage of adults recovered in autopsied jirds ranged from 0 to 40 with an average of 16. The chicken showed a microfilarial periodicity with the peak microfilarial density around 2200 hours. However, in jirds there was a change in sub-periodicity. This model in the jird may be very useful for the screening of filaricides and in immunological work. | 2019-04-21T08:05:31Z | http://mymedr.afpm.org.my/search?q=mesh_term%3A%28%22Poultry+Diseases%2Fparasitology%22%29 |

There has been so many confusion going around the search engine world where people BELIEVE that the keyword phrase they chose is a winner because it gets 500,000 searches a month with very little competition. Truth of the matter is, it’s the complete opposite because they used the “broad match” filter in which is the WRONG way of finding good keywords and its commercial capabilities.
We’re talking about using the “Google Keyword Tool”. You can type it into the search engines and Google’s external keyword tool will show up. It’s the same thing as their AdWords users use. The only thing is is you have to enter a captcha code to indicate that you’re human. So do that if you wish to do so at this time.
Alright, so a little explaination on the different filters.
And it just continues. You get the point. THAT’S what the broad match does. It considers ALL the possibilities for that keyword phrase. That’s why the search volume is always so high for keyword phrases with 2 or more keywords.
Again, it continues with the possibilities. This is why broad and phrase matches does no one any good. It spits out half-truths and you’re stuck trying to figure it out.
The BEST filter to use is the exact match filter. The reason this filter is the best is because it tells you what the search performance is each month based on ONLY that particular keyword phrase in THAT exact order. We use it for all of our keyword research and analysis to know which keywords are the best ones for us and for our clients.
Once you determine the proper keywords to target, you will then have to determine which ones to go for first. We usually do it in 3 phases: easy, medium, hard. Pretty easy, right?
The reason for this is once you conquer the easy keywords, the medium keywords become easier to dominate. Once you conquer the medium keywords, the hard keywords become easier. Makes sense?
If you think you’re done after picking out the highly searched keywords to target, you’re completely wrong! Wait for next week when I explain the most important part in keyword research AND analysis!
