Cells isopolar, bilaterally symmetrical, valves linear-lanceolate or elliptical.
The striae are completely covered externally by a conopeum, which is perforated by a multitude of tiny pores. The conopeum is supported along the centre of the valve by the narrow longitudinal ribs adjacent to the raphe, appearing in LM as a hyaline ‘lyre’.
Window-like openings are present on the valve surface on both sides of the distal raphe fissures at the poles where the conopeum has not merged with a fold at the valve face/mantle junction.
Plastids are H-shaped with two plates lying against the girdle.

Get Rid of Alzheimer Disease with Wisepowder Alpha GPC medicine
A study has found that due to Alzheimer many people are losing their mental ability to remember things. Alzheimer’s is a disease in which people have a very hard time remembering several things that happened to them, such as memorable events or any occasion. As time passes on, they start troubling focus on daily lifestyle activities and feel confused and frustrated. This disease can have a devastating effect on anyone’s mental health. Hence measurable preventives are very important before it starts dominating a person from inside. People who deal with Alzheimer’s are such people who are dealing with a very bad period, so it is a must for a caretaker or person to help them mentally and emotionally.
Factors Responsible for Alzheimer
People who have Alzheimer’s are usually older. Hence scientists are still finding out the reason why some people get it, and others do not. But mainly, it is noticed that nerve damage can be a part of getting Alzheimer’s in people of older age group. It can be neurofibrillary tangles of protein that build up in the brain. Brain damage and traumas can be a factor in getting in touch with Alzheimer’s as people who are badly in trauma get depressed, and as a result, they got to deal with Alzheimer’s and about wisepowder. Several powders in the market are generally used to boost brain cells. Patients with high blood pressure and high cholesterol level have a greater chance of getting Alzheimer’s, and they consume medicines containing alpha GPC powder in them.
Early Symptoms of Signs
People with Alzheimer’s disease could have short-term memory loss at the early stages, difficulty in reading and problem-solving. This can be seen when your family members or loved ones begin to demonstrate problems like maintaining checkbooks and bills. They may also face problems in completing some of the family tasks like inability to drive safely to home or concentration issues are seen in this disease. The long-term effect includes vision loss, finding good words to use, inability to make decisions, and experiencing mood swings and changes—the people who face this disease notice that they also forgot about dressing up and talking.
Risk Factors and Treatment
Your risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease will increase if your family member has such a mental disorder. The exact cause of this mental disorder is remaining unknown. Defective genes are some of the other risk factors for getting Alzheimer’s in children. The treatment of this disease is cure only by proper medication as per the symptom of the patient. Some doctors consult supplements like alpha GPC powder which boosts the brain’s ability to think and concentrate. You can learn more about wisepowder Alpha GPC powder on their official website. If your loved one is dealing with this type of mental disorder, it must provide gentle care and emotional support.

PLEASE NOTE: Skepticism doesn't mean being arbitrary "sceptical". A skeptic, or "freethinker" is someone who prefers to hold beliefs and conclusions that are reliable and valid, to ones that are personally comforting or convenient (such as conspiracy theories, religion, alternative medicine, spiritual healing or anything "supernatural"). It doesn't mean you're perfect. It means you know you're not and need to look for evidence even if it goes against your gut feelings and biases. Skepticism is not an ideology or a belief system. Skepticism is a methodology for learning about and understanding the world based on the scientific method (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method). To learn more, please watch this short video: "What is a Skeptic? (https://youtu.be/MNCgGaeWwzw)", and preferably also "Why people believe weird things (http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_shermer_on_believing_strange_things)", both by Michael Shermer of The Sceptic Society (USA).
This group is for people who want to discuss and learn about the world in accordance to this methodology (including, but not limited to conversations about science, pseudo-science, philosophy, atheism, secular ethics, evolution and humanism) with like-minded people in the Stockholm area.
No merits are required apart from respecting that. We all have to start somewhere :)
Rules: Don't be condescending or otherwise aggressive. A necessary part of being a skeptic is questioning your own stances, being able to handle critique and letting others speak. Even if you're "sure" you're right (which you shouldn't be), we are not organizing these events to listen to someone's agenda. We're here to participate in discussions where scientific and rational arguments trumps attitude. Sexism and racism also is strictly forbidden.

Both drafts showing this mask can be found in former papers from Jean Willy Mestach (compare AHDRC 0030686-004). According to AHDRC this type of masks was often collected between 1900 and 1930.
A work by the same master is illustrated in a feature on Kifwebe maskettes of the Luba and Songe (see Tribal Art Magazine, Spring 2008, p. 111, Fig. 20) and was attributed to the "Lubangule".
Photo: Courtesy of AHDRC
The so-called "Lubangule" are a Luba subgroup, who live in the southern part of Kabinda in the province of Katanga, bordering the Luba-Kasai. The works collected in this region exhibit a mixture of Luba and Songe styles and are often referred to as Luba/Songe.
Masks like the present one are called "masque du case" ("hut masks"). They were not danced and therefore had no holes on the rim for costume attachment. They were probably suspended from the ceiling of a hut.
Luba "kifwebe" masks are generally benevolent anti-sorcery masks, used mainly for the purposes of purifying and protecting the community from malevolent spiritual forces by employing the aid of the ancestors.
Werfen Sie schon jetzt einen Blick auf diese auffallend schmal geformten, sogenannten Hütten-Masken, die nicht getanzt wurden.
Take a look at this striking narrow form of the so-called hut masks which were never danced.

Assisted by other faculty and staff members, the Core Curriculum Development Committee (CCDC) at Erskine College has submitted and received approval for a new core curriculum to be implemented in the fall semester of 2014.
The new curriculum divides general education courses—now designated “the core curriculum” at Erskine and other institutions—into foundation courses and formation courses.
“For years, ‘gen ed’ was viewed as something to get out of the way in order to move on to the more important major,” CCDC chairman Dr. Sandra Chaney said. “Now, higher education is stressing the complementarity of core courses and the major.”
In foundation courses, “students develop essential skills and knowledge about God, humanity, and nature,” Chaney said.
The choice of courses that can meet foundation requirements is limited, she said, and many will look the same, “such as those for Bible, composition, foreign language, mathematics, sciences, and so forth,” though some requirements have been “reframed, providing a clearer, more compelling rationale for them.”
At the formation level, “the new core offers more choice in the courses that students may take,” Chaney said. “Students continue to hone vital communication and logical reasoning skills and develop knowledge through discipline-specific perspectives, but they go further in integrating critical analysis, problem-solving, and morals and ethics.”
Other changes brought into play with the new core curriculum include a required contemporary global issues course; a retooling of the school and community health course to include physical activities; a spiritual formation requirement that can be met by a traditional or winter term course or through service learning; and the expansion of courses meeting the creative and performing arts requirement.
“This has been a huge project for the faculty,” Chaney said. “We really could not have completed our work without our colleagues’ responses, and they were generous with their time and ideas.”

Wire and Metal Bending Department
The unique detail of Napier’s jewelry was often the result of designs created in Napier’s Wire and Metal Bending Department. These designs were either hand-formed, or created with the assistance of a jig to bend into the desired shape. No two pieces of jewelry were exactly alike.
Napier’s unique designs required that many of the pieces be hand-manipulated. This process of wire bending, gave Napier a unique style. Many of the findings or filigree (pierced metal) components were hand-shaped into form. Hence, no two pieces of jewelry were alike.

November 25, 2015 (by Lieven Dewitte) - A USAF F-16 crashed while on a training mission in New Mexico, but the pilot managed to safely eject from the aircraft.
Luke AFB has been making room for F-35s and shifted many F-16s to Holloman.
The F-16 went down today around 08.45h near Salinas Peak, which is 45 miles northwest of Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. Emergency response teams found the pilot in good condition.
The name of the pilot wasn’t immediately released. An Air Force team will investigate the cause of the crash.
Salinas Peak which is the highest point of the San Andres Mountains is a part of the White Sands Missile Range which is an active military training airspace.
The pilot was assigned to the 314th Fighter Squadron while the F-16 was part of the 54th Fighter Group
which is located at Holloman but is under operational control of the 56th Fighter Wing commander at Luke AFB
, Arizona. The group is supposed to be responsible for as much as 45 percent of F-16 training for the entire Department of Defense. Current numbers state they train an average of 180 students per year, averaging more than 10,800 sorties and 14,600 hours per fiscal year
Luke AFB has been making room for F-35 jets and shifted many F-16s to Holloman for training missions.
On June 26, 2013, an instructor pilot and a student pilot from Luke AFB safely ejected
from a two-seat F-16 after a bird strike. The jet flew unmanned in a 9-mile circle northwest of Luke when it eventually lost altitude and cratered into a dirt field just outside the base.

Roshan Lal, 66, is livid. He is yet to come to terms with the damage caused to a forest near his village, that caught fire on June 12.
Lal, an agriculturist from Jangi village in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, told Mongabay-India that he had not seen a forest fire of this scale before. The fire spread over three kilometres and engulfed hundreds of trees and green cover. It took around three days to extinguish the fire but by then, over 2,000 bighas (161 hectares) of forest land had been affected by the fire.
Reginald Royston, District Forest Officer (DFO), Kinnaur, informed Mongabay-India that the report about the exact damage due to the forest fire was still being compiled. However, on the ground, the destruction is quite visible. The fire has affected the ecologically and economically significant deodar and blue pine trees valued for their timber, he said.
“Hundreds of chilgoza pine trees, which produce edible nuts and are a major source of livelihood for residents of Jangi village, were destroyed,” said Lal. The affected area, was also home to Himalayan tahr and the black bear, according to Jangi residents. They suspect human tampering as the reason for the fire.
However, DFO Reginald Royston said since the fire occurred on high mountain slopes where there is no human habitation, the department was not able to reach any conclusion whether the fire incident was accidental or a deliberate attempt. “But one possible reason is the prolonged dry spell in the area, which massively reduced the moisture level of the forest, thereby making them more prone to acute fire,” Royston clarified.
Record-Breaking Fire Incidents
The forest area in Himachal Pradesh covers 66 percent of the state’s geographical area and is rich in biodiversity, playing a vital role in preserving the fragile Himalayan ecosystem.
The rising fire incidents in Himachal Pradesh have become a major cause of worry for authorities and citizens, especially when forests are not only crucial for the state’s environmental, ecological and economic well-being, but also provide environmental services to the lowland states.
Several districts of Himachal Pradesh have seen forest fires this year, reveals government data. As per the data shared by Himachal Pradesh’s Forest Protection and Fire Control Division with Mongabay-India, the state recorded 2,763 fire incidents from April 1 to June 30 this year, the usual forest fire season, with an average of 31 fires per day. Dharamshala district topped the chart with 618 fire incidents in this period, followed by Chamba (522), Mandi (364), Shimla (286), Hamirpur (285), Rampur (190), Bilaspur (151) and Solan (110). This, according to the division’s records, is the highest figure recorded by the division since its opening in Bilaspur in 2007.
Comparatively, in previous years, fire incidents in an entire year have been lower than the 2,763 incidents recorded in the state so far. The fiscal year 2021-22 saw 1,275 fire incidents. while 2020-21 had 1,045 fires and 2019-20 had 1,445 fires. Until this year, the highest number of forest fires in a year were in 2009-10 (1,906) and 2018-19 (2,544).
About 23,239 hectares of forest area, which is about 0.45% of the state’s area, were affected in these fire incidents. The total valuation of the impact of the fires was Rs. 64 crores (Rs. 640 million), data revealed. Of the total affected area, 18,600 hectares were part of natural forest areas, and another 4,500 hectares were new plantations, for which the forest department spends a significant amount of money each year on increasing forest cover.
In the efforts to extinguish the forest fires, three forest department personnel – one each in Una, Renukaji and Shimla – died during field operations.
The Case Of Ground Fires
Speaking to Mongabay-India, Anil Sharma, Chief Conservator of Forest (CCF), Forest Protection and Fire Control Division, said that most of the forest fire incidents in Himachal were that of ground fires.
“Internationally, forest fires are classified into two-three major categories in which the crown fire (which spreads through the crown [top] of the trees and consumes all the part of the tree), is the most intense and difficult to control. Another category is the ground fire in which loss to the forest is there, but it mostly burns its ground cover and affects the soil,” Sharma explained.
“In this year’s forest fires, the incidents of crown fires were very limited. It was mostly ground fires. There is a chance of revival of green cover of the fire-damaged forest following a good rainy season,” he added.
He also revealed that the state’s chir pine forest, which is spread over 1,259 kms and constitutes 3.4 percent of the total forest area of the state, is more prone to fire incidents due to its physiology. The department has identified 2,026 beats as per the sensitivity level of the forest fires out of which 339 beats are highly sensitive.
Rainfall Deficiency, Dry Weather And Other Factors
CCF Anil Sharma told Mongabay-India that the forest fires in most cases are the result of human negligence. “For instance, if someone threw a burning cigarette or if farmers ignore some burnt leftovers in their fields adjoining the forest areas, it could result in the forest area catching fire. Some fires were intentional too, for the purpose of getting good quality of grass fodder after monsoon.”
“But the prolonged dry spell and higher than normal temperature this season in Himachal actually exacerbated the situation,” said Sharma adding, “The dry leaves in the forest became highly inflammable and spread the fire in forests.”
As per the data obtained from Himachal Pradesh Meteorological Department, the state witnessed 95 percent and 90 percent deficient rainfall in the months of March and April respectively, which according to the director Surender Paul was the highest since 2002. In the months of May and June too, the rainfall deficiency was 23% and 48% respectively, with the upper reaches of the Himalayas witnessing unprecedented rainfall deficiency.
Combined with this, the state recorded 27 heatwave days, the third highest in the country after Rajasthan (39) and Madhya Pradesh (38), revealed the report by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a Delhi-based non-profit, based on the data from India Meteorological Department (IMD).
While the Met Department predicts normal rainfall from July onwards, Jiya Lal, an environmental activist based in Kinnaur told Mongabay-India, “We all must introspect why there is a huge variation in rainfall and snowfall patterns in the state in past one decade or so.” Lal said that it is the direct consequences of the large-scale development projects that have disturbed the overall state ecology. “Besides, global as well as other domestic climate change phenomena is helping in recurrence of dry spells more often than before in Himachal. The net result is immense damage to forest resources, wildlife and the environment,” Lal added.
On how forest fire incidents can be controlled, CCF Anil Sharma said that it is impossible to stop all fire incidents. The key is ‘staying aware’.
“We conduct mass contact programmes with the local people, panchayats, school children, to make them aware about the damages caused by forest fires to the forest resources, wildlife and the environment,” he said.
Sharma said that they have also tied up with the Forest Survey of India in Dehradun, and through the help of satellites, the authorities from there send an alert whenever they notice smoke billowing in any part of the state’s forest area. “This helps us to reach the spot at the earliest and take all possible means to stop it (the fire) from spreading further,” he concluded.

What Habits are Hurting Your Back?
By Donna Stark
Cleaning out your attic, moving furniture, and picking your child up from the floor are just a few examples of what can lead to lower back pain, but we already know that, don't we? In fact, many of us take the extra precautions needed to stay safe when lifting heavy objects because we know how easy it is to "throw out" our back. But what about the seemingly innocent things we do each day? Can you think of any activities you perform during your daily routine that might be causing your back to hurt? No? Well, think again, because there are a lot.
A Typical Day Can Cause Back Pain
There are many different activities that most of us perform on a daily basis that can easily lead to back pain and that doesn't involve any heavy lifting. The unfortunate thing about them though, is that we may not even realize the damage that is being caused until it is too late. Curious as to what they are? Let's take a look at a few of them here.
- Driving - If you have a long commute, a job behind the wheel, or a bunch of busy kids that need to be driven to their activities, the health of your back could be in danger. To reduce back pain caused by excessive driving, make sure you pay attention to your posture, invest in a good lumbar support, and take plenty of breaks during the ride.
- Reading - Who knew that reading would be dangerous to your health? Well, to be honest, there's nothing inherently wrong with reading, but if your nightly habit is to read in bed, you may be setting yourself up for back and neck stiffness depending on what position you are in. Propping your head up with pillows or lying on your side can actually place additional stress on the lower back, so it may just be safer to do your reading in a comfortable chair instead.
- Getting dressed - You probably wouldn't connect the outfits you wear with the back pain you feel, but it might be time to start doing so, especially if you continually choose the wrong items. Things you should give a lot of consideration to are high heels, oversized bags, heavy backpacks, sports bras, and tight jeans as they can force your body into unnatural postures and limit your range of motion.
Take a Look at Your Habits
If you are experiencing back pain and know it was not caused by a traumatic event, take a look at your daily habits and behaviors. The cause of your pain and discomfort might be right in front of you!
To learn more about your health, wellness, and fitness, see your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic in Denver, Colo.

The Moonshiners at Hoho-Hebee Falls
"That thar boy treats me ez ef I war a plumb idjit," Laurelia said one day, moved to her infrequent anger. "Tells me, 'Yes, ma'am, cap'n,' an' 'Naw, ma'am, cap'n,' jes ter quiet me--like folks useter do ter old Ed'ard Green, ez war in his dotage--an' then goes along an' does the very thing I tell him not ter do."
Sudley looked up as he sat smoking his pipe by the fire, a shade of constraint in his manner, and a contraction of anxiety in his slow, dark eyes, never quite absent when she spoke to him aside of Leander.
She paused, setting her gaunt arms akimbo, and wearing the manner of one whose kindly patience is beyond limit abused. "Kems in hyar, he do, a'totin' a fiddle. An' I says, 'Lee-yander Yerby, don't ye know that thar thing's the devil's snare?' 'N'aw, ma'am, cap'n,'

The Walter D. Kelly Treatment Center in West Palm Beach and the Norman C. Hayslip Treatment Center in Fort Pierce serve as the temporary homes for adolescents struggling with addiction and behavioral health problems. Both centers operate year-round, with 24-hour supervision and includes treatment programs and on-site education programs. The average length of stay is three to six months.
Residential treatment uses multiple evidence-based strategies for individual, group and family therapy as well as methods that address trauma and life skills. Successful completion of the program is based on: progressing academically, coming to terms with the impact drugs have had on the adolescent’s life, and changing behavior that is not acceptable in society.
The residential program consists of three components:
This involves using evidence-based individual, group (process, educational, life skills, trauma-informed, etc.), and family counseling. Upon admission, each resident is assigned a primary counselor who, with input from the treatment team and stakeholders, manages the adolescent’s case through to discharge from the program.
Through agreements with the School District of Palm Beach County (Kelly Center) and the School District of St. Lucie County (Hayslip Center), residents are able to continue their studies toward high school graduation at our on-site schools.
Designed to end undesirable or maladaptive behavior and promote positive change, our behavioral management system is based on levels, from orientation to level five, and requires residents to set and achieve goals in order to progress to the next level.
From beginning to end, the entire treatment process is driven by the treatment team, a core unit of professionals consisting of the medical director, program supervisor, school representative, therapist, resident and family, and other relevant case managers or professionals who may provide knowledge to the resident’s treatment course. Families are expected to attend regularly scheduled family counseling, parent/family groups, visitation and other related activities. To shape the kind of change needed to ensure sustained success, a firm commitment is necessary from all persons involved.
Finally, it is important that residents are given as many tools as possible to help them on their journey to success; therefore, a strong emphasis is placed on social skills and competency development. Residents are encouraged to participate in on-site and off-site recreation activities geared toward team and self-esteem building, and teaching residents to identify and participate in prosocial activities.
Residential services are provided on a sliding fee scale based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines. No adolescent or family will be turned away due to ability to pay.

Factors which must be considered in the design of a low-power micromanipulator are discussed. A rough prototype model is described and it is shown how the final instrument was evolved from this. The instrument is completely three-dimensional, will follow a movement of the hand with
a reduction ratio of 4 to 1, and will “stay put” in any position. It is intended for use at magnifications up to 200 times, and the movement, as seen through a binocular dissection microscope, is not reversed.

This decision tool is designed to help you and your family discuss your choices with your MND doctor or genetic counselor. The tool summarizes research and best practice information to help people make decisions about predictive genetic testing for MND. Genetic testing allows people to be aware if they are carrying a fault (or mutation) in an MND gene, so that they can make decisions and plans for their life.
You may not feel ready to read all the information contained in this tool. If so, read the information you wish to know, at the best time for you. If you would like more detailed information, links to other resources are provided in the relevant sections, and in the resources at the end of this tool.
MND is a general term applying to progressive, degenerative disorders affecting the motor neurones.
It is also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in Europe and the UK, but in Australia, the term MND is more often used.
Motor neurones carry signals from the brain to the muscles. In people with motor neurone disease, the motor neurones deteriorate and can no longer carry these signals.
This is a gradual process, which causes muscles to waste away. Some people carry genetic faults that predispose them to this motor neurone deterioration, and these people are at
increased risk of developing MND over their lifetime.
Families with a gene fault or a strong family history of MND are known to have familial MND
(also known as "FALS"). About 10% of all people with MND will have familial MND, meaning the risk can be inherited. The remaining 90% of people with MND have
‘sporadic MND’, meaning that only one person in the family has the disease. Age of onset of familial MND varies from family to family and depends on the
gene fault involved. Still, not everyone with a faulty gene will go on to develop MND, and it is important to know that we currently are unable to predict if, when and how MND may affect someone with a faulty MND gene.
A condition called frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can also be caused by some gene faults that can also cause MND. FTD is a form of dementia and associated with changes in behaviour, language and personality. In these families, some family members may have had MND, FTD or a combination of both conditions. MND Australia has more information about MND and FTD
A faulty gene or ‘genetic mutation’ is an error in a person’s genetic code which prevents a gene from working normally. We have around 20,000 genes and no one has a complete working set- we are likely to each have faults in a number of genes. Most people have two fully functioning copies of each gene- one set inherited from their mother,
and the other set inherited from their father.
Usually, a person only needs one faulty copy of any of the genes associated with MND to lead to an increased chance of the disease developing. People with a parent who carries an MND gene have a 50% chance of inheriting the same gene fault. This is known as autosomal dominant inheritance; in other words, when one parent carries the autosomal dominant faulty gene copy.
Diagram adapted from http://www.genetics.edu.au/publications-and-
For more information about genetic mutations that cause MND, please visit the U.S. National Library of Medicine
Genetic testing in family members can allow each person to know whether they have inherited the same faulty MND
gene, and if they are at increased risk of developing disease. Not everyone with a faulty gene will go on to develop MND. However, the chance of developing MND is much higher for
those carrying MND genes. This chance depends on the faulty gene involved, and sometimes even the family specific mutation. At this time, we currently are unable to predict if,
when and how MND may affect someone with a faulty MND gene.
Testing is usually done with a simple blood test. Testing for MND genes is optional, and can only be done with your signed consent. There are two types of genetic testing that can be performed.
You could also elect to provide a blood sample and store it until you or your family have decided to proceed with testing. This can be particularly important if you or other family members felt the timing was not right to undergo genetic testing.
It is also possible that you may be offered ‘confirmatory genetic testing’. This is a test that is done in a family member to confirm whether they carry the gene fault in the family. The test is considered ‘confirmatory’ rather than ‘predictive’ if someone already has symptoms of MND or FTD and therefore are likely to carry the same gene change.
The decision to have genetic testing is completely voluntary. The results are completely confidential, and can’t be shared without your express consent. Even if you choose to share your results with researchers, they will remain anonymous.
Reproductive genetic testing is also possible and is further detailed in "How does genetic testing help me decide about family planning".
Many families find that each member has a different attitude towards having genetic testing, and knowing the results of their test. While some family members may be supportive of your decision to have or to decline testing, others may not. It is your choice who you discuss your decision with.
Your GP can refer you to health professionals who specialise in genetic testing services. Genetic counsellors will be able to provide you with expert information about genetic testing for MND that is specific to your family situation. They also offer support through your decision-making, and as you learn about your results, and what they mean for you. There are many genetic counselling clinics across Australia. The Human Genetics Society of Australia provides a list of public and private options for genetic counselling to help you find a local genetics counselling service.
Other professionals who can provide information include MND doctors and health professionals, advisors from your local MND associations, and your GP. For more information about familial MND, you can also contact the MND team who has treated the person with MND in your family.
MND Australia also provides information and advice for MND patients, carers and family. A fact sheet on genetic testing for familial MND can be found at MND Australia.
(Adapted from https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/consult/expectations)
During a genetic counselling appointment, the genetic counsellor or other health professional provides information, offers support, and addresses a patient’s specific questions and concerns about a family history of disease, a specific genetic condition and/or genetic testing.
During a consultation, a genetics professional will:

Family planning for people with an inherited condition has always been a complex issue. To assist their decision-making, some familial MND family members decide to have genetic testing in conjunction with In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). Some IVF clinics can test embryos before they are implanted to determine whether they carry an MND gene.
Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) involves screening IVF-generated embryos for genetic conditions prior to embryo transfer. Parents can then choose how they proceed with implantation.
IVF clinics can provide information on pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, and on where this specialist screening is available. They can also provide information on the associated costs and the Medicare rebates available.
As with other inherited conditions, genetic testing can also be conducted after a pregnancy has occurred.
Once a gene mutation has been identified in a family, couples who are planning a family can consider options that may help to prevent a gene mutation being passed on:
Decisions about family planning can be complex. Your genetic counsellor could further discuss these aspects with you, or you could consider referral to an IVF clinic.
The testing must be voluntary, and the person undertaking must be able to give informed consent and be over 18 years of age. If you choose to undergo genetic testing, the results of your test will not be released to others without your formal consent.
Testing costs vary considerably, depending on the type of testing being conducted, and the type of genetics service you access. Many public genetic testing services may provide subsidised or free testing for MND-related genes, especially if you are from a familial MND family. Other services may be expensive, so it is wise to ask about costs beforehand.
Genetics research is attempting to identify new genes that can cause MND. Once we understand how these genes work, new methods of treatment for people living with MND are hoped to be developed.
Some people feel that there is no reason to test for an inherited condition if there is no future generation.
For some, knowing they had the gene fault could have a negative effect on their mood and sense of wellbeing.
Some people experience 'survivor guilt' if they do not have the gene fault, but other family members do.
"I am not ready to have genetic testing now"
"I am hopeful a cure will be found in the future"
Research continues to strive for a cure or effective treatments to stop the impact of MND.
"I worry about how genetic testing results will affect my relationships""My family would be angry if I was tested"
1. I want more certainty about my risk of having MND
2. I want to plan my family knowing my risks
3. I want to be prepared for my future
4. I want to be prepared for the future of my family members
1. Knowing I have an MND gene would be too distressing for me
2. Having genetic testing would upset my family
3. Knowing my result won’t change how I live my life
4. There is no cure yet
1. How important genetic testing is to you overall?
2. Is being tested an important choice for you right now?
1) Genetic testing does not yet test for all the possible genes responsible for MND
2) In predictive genetic testing, a negative result guarantees that you will never get MND
3) Genetic testing for MND has associated financial cost and legal obligations
4) Undertaking or declining genetic testing may have personal and social consequences
1) Do you know the benefits and consequences of each option?
2) Are you clear about which benefits and consequences matter most to you?
3) Do you have enough support and advice to make a choice?
4) Do you feel sure about the best choice for you?
If you are certain that you wish to proceed with predictive genetic testing, please inform your MND health professionals about your decision. They can then arrange referrals and inform you about your local procedures
If you are certain of your decision, please inform you MND health professionals, so that they are aware of your wishes.
If you are uncertain about what to do, you may wish to speak to other family members about making your decision. If you want more information, make time with your genetic counsellor or MND health professionals to discuss your options further. The additional information on next page may also be helpful.

What’s included in your estate?
The short answer is everything you own at the time of your death. This includes any assets which you own jointly (as well as those you own individually).
Examples of assets you might own include:
a house or flat;
bank/building society accounts (including joint bank accounts);
investment portfolios (stocks and shares);
personal property and jointly owned belongings (e.g. cars, jewellery and paintings etc);
agricultural and business interests;
any foreign property;
interest in existing trusts (for example, you may be a beneficiary of a discretionary trust); and
any other valuable assets.
Life policies and pension policies only form part of your estate if a payment will be made to your estate when you die (as opposed to someone you have nominated to receive the payment such as your spouse, civil partner or children).
Valuing your estate - Why?
All property belonging to you will need to be valued in order to begin probate. The valuation needs to be as at the date of your death. Probate refers to the process of proving that your Will is valid, and then the right to deal with your assets and estate.
However, it is also worth estimating the value of your estate before you begin making your Will. Doing so may clarify the nature of your estate, i.e. exactly what it is made up of, and the proportion of your estate that is represented by each of those assets. This, in turn, may help you when considering how you would like those assets to be distributed, and to whom.
In addition, valuing your estate will give you an idea as to how much inheritance tax may be due on it. So when you estimate the value of your estate, it is important to be as precise as possible.
The value of your estate is the total value of your assets minus the total value of any liabilities you may have. Liabilities refer to what you owe, such as an outstanding mortgage, overdraft, loans, credit card bills and other debts.

Organic Quinoa- Your Organic Nature
This quinoa comes from the Chimborazo province in Ecuador. The cooperative has several dozen communities of hundreds of farmers who grow and trade quinoa through the cooperative. Quinoa has been cultivated as a food crop for thousands of years. It is sown in November – December and the harvest takes place from March to June, depending on the variety and the altitude of the farms. This quinoa has a nutty flavor and is a great substitute for rice, pasta or potatoes. Before cooking, rinse the quinoa again to exclude bitter taste. Use about 75 g per person and add twice as much water or stock. After 10 minutes of gentle cooking, let the quinoa stand for another 10 minutes.

Weight loss isn’t just about willpower claims an advertisement for Belviq. The commercial features three truly perplex obese people debating whether or not they’ve had enough to eat.
“Am I full? Do I want more? Have I had enough?” they ask themselves as though they’re pondering the mysteries of the universe.
A voice-over explains that the drug works by activating receptors in your brain that are “believed” to make you feel full; however, a disclaimer admits they have now idea how it works. What is known is that there are a host of potentially deadly side effects. In fact, nearly half of the commercial consists of rattling them off.
Belviq should take their own medicine because they’re full of it.

The Baldwin Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in Aspen, Colorado established by Richard Edwards in 1994. The gallery features a variety of mainly American but also international contemporary artists and works including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video and installation-based work.
As stated in the New York Times obituary for Mr. Baldwin in 2005:
After meeting Mr. Edwards, a lawyer and art collector, in 1994, Mr. Baldwin opened Baldwin Gallery and became an art-world player almost overnight. His vast social circle and salesmanship let him mount successful shows of work by New York artists like Jennifer Bartlett, Ross Bleckner and Carroll Dunham, and his gallery helped raise Aspen's profile as a resort with culture as well as glitter.
The gallery opened in a small space but moved in 1997 to a purpose built 8,000-square-foot (740 m2) space in the historic Brand Building in downtown Aspen. Baldwin died in 2005 but the gallery has continued under Edwards' management. In "A Report from Colorado", in Art in America (February 2007), Aspen is described as "A mountain town as rich in beauty as it is in per capita net worth, Aspen has a small but important art scene. Its main venues for contemporary art are the Aspen Art Museum and the Baldwin Gallery." In the body of the article the Baldwin Gallery is described by Art in America as "the serious" commercial gallery in town. The gallery's efforts to present world-renowned artists in the city of Aspen has been acknowledged at both international and national levels and with continuing enthusiastic support from serious art journals around the world.
Baldwin Gallery was recently included in international art magazine Modern Painters' comprehensive list of the ‘Top 500 Galleries in the World’ in a special issue for summer 2013. Baldwin Gallery is the only gallery in Colorado, and the only American gallery located in a city with a population less than 100,000 to be included.
The gallery features solo and group exhibitions of the gallery artists, special projects, and the production of publications relating to the exhibition program.
Artists featured at the Baldwin Gallery have included:
Donald Baechler, Jennifer Bartlett, Ross Bleckner, Delia Brown, James Lee Byars, Sarah Charlesworth, Christo & Jeanne-Claude, Greg Colson, Will Cotton, Stephen Dean, Carroll Dunham, Eric Fischl, Adam Fuss, Ewan Gibbs, Isca Greenfield-Sanders, Tim Hailand, Peter Halley, Lyle Ashton Harris, Todd Hido, Craigie Horsfield, Bryan Hunt, Alex Katz, Annette Lemieux, David Levinthal, Glenn Ligon, Andrew Lord, Martin Maloney, Robert Mapplethorpe, Enrique Martinez Celaya, Ryan McGinness, Marilyn Minter, Malcolm Morley, Elizabeth Murray, Louise Nevelson, Tony Oursler, Jack Pierson, Alexis Rockman, James Rosenquist, Tom Sachs, David Salle, Laurie Simmons, Mike + Doug Starn, Joseph Stashkevetch, Pat Steir, George Stoll, Donald Sultan, Philip Taaffe, James Turrell, Bruce Weber, and Matthew Weinstein.

Councillors approve plans for multi-million pound flood defences in Leeds
Major plans designed to reduce flood risk for communities along the River Aire have been given the go-ahead by councillors in Leeds.
At a meeting today, Leeds City Council’s city plans panel approved the construction of a flood storage area between Horsforth and Rawdon.
Led by Leeds City Council in partnership with the Environment Agency, Bradford Council, Network Rail and Yorkshire Water, the storage area project is part of an extensive programme of work that will reduce flood risk for 1,048 homes and 474 businesses along a 14km stretch of the River Aire upstream of Leeds train station.
This upstream programme, which is phase 2 of the wider Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme (FAS), has been split into two steps and includes natural flood management across the River Aire catchment as well as new defence walls, embankments and a flood storage area.
Work on step 1, which is costing £87m, began in January 2020 and has involved building flood defence walls between Leeds city centre and Newlay. Landmark achievements to date include the successful raising of Milford Place footbridge and, in April this year, the installation of sheet piles near the Home Office site on Kirkstall Road. The latest progress can be viewed here https://youtu.be/eMlJh-HJmpg.
The plans approved today relate to step 2, which is set to cost around £25m and involves the creation of the flood storage area between Horsforth and Rawdon as well as new flood defences at Apperley Bridge in Bradford.
The flood storage area makes use of an existing flood plain and will be operated by a control gate system. This means that water can be held when river levels are high and then released back into the river when it is safe to do so. As part of this work, new habitat and wildlife areas will be created which will bring additional biodiversity and environmental benefits.
The proposals for Apperley Bridge involve built defences such as flood walls, embankments and a surface water pumping station and are being considered for planning approval by Bradford Council.
Phase 2 of the Leeds FAS will reduce flood risk to a 0.5% probability of occurring in any given year (1 in 200 probability), including an allowance for climate change until 2069. This level of protection will guard against a similar event to the Boxing Day floods in 2015, which cost Leeds an estimated £36.8m and the city region more than £500m.
The development of the proposals has been underpinned by in-depth research and surveying, as well as consultation with local residents, businesses and landowners.
Due for completion in summer 2023 with the help of delivery partners BMMjv (a BAM Nuttall Ltd and Mott MacDonald joint venture) and Aecom, the phase 2 measures represent an overall investment of £112.1m in improved flood protection for homes and businesses.
Today’s decision means that construction work on the latest stage of the Leeds FAS can begin as early as this summer. Preparatory work, including the laying down of an access track for the flood control building and flood storage area, will start immediately.
Phase 1 of the Leeds FAS was completed in 2017 at a cost of £50m, with its key elements including state-of-the-art moveable weirs at Crown Point and Knostrop that can control river levels.
Councillor Helen Hayden, Leeds City Council’s executive member for climate change, transport and sustainable development, said:
"I’m really pleased to see this next stage in Leeds's flood defences has been approved. We can all remember shocking scenes of our communities under water and this new flood storage area is another example of our commitment to providing at-risk communities the protection they need.
“By building our resilience to climate change, our city will be in a much better position if the worst should happen. I’m looking forward to seeing these plans become a reality over the coming year.”
Jenny Cooke, area flood risk manager at the Environment Agency, said:
“This is a significant milestone for this ambitious project, which is one of the largest flood risk management schemes in the country. We’ll continue to work at pace with our partners to deliver better flood protection for people, businesses and homes and make them more resilient to climate change.”
Notes to editors:
Taking shape as part of the Leeds FAS is a flagship Natural Flood Management programme that will include the creation of new woodland, moorland restoration work and a number of other interventions.
15,000 trees were planted in March this year in Keighley, part of a larger target of planting up to two million trees in the Upper Aire catchment.
This also forms part of the council’s White Rose Forest Strategy for Leeds, an ambition to increase tree cover in the Leeds district from 17% to 33% over the next 30 years.
As well as reducing flood risk, new trees will capture carbon, create habitat and improve biodiversity.

In his work The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture (New York: Oxford University Press, 1993) Bart Ehrman explains why he 'felt constrained' to leave the Comma Johanneum out of his book.
Although (Ehrman writes) the famed Comma "represents the most obvious instance of a theologically motivated corruption in the entire manuscript tradition of the New Testament," (page 45, note 116) its appearance in the MS tradition "can scarcely be dated prior to the trinitarian controversies that arose" subsequent to the period of time examined in his monograph. In other words, the Comma is a late and spurious interpolation that does not belong in Holy Writ.
Ehrman (page 45) then references Catholic scholar Raymond E. Brown's excellent delineation of this textual issue in his Anchor Bible Commentary on The Epistles of John. See Brown, pp. 775-87. I heartily recommend Brown's thorough analysis of the issues surrounding the Comma Johanneum. Brown also shows that the Comma is an interpolation.
Rudolph Bultmann (_N.T Epistles of John_ [Die drei Johannesbriefe]. Gottingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1969. Edition 8. Aufl.)--whatever you may think of his theology--seems to be on the mark (for the most part) vis-a-vis the textual tradition when he notes:
"The so-called Comma Johanneum (vss 7f) is found in Latin [MSS] dating before A.D. 400, the text of which(it varies in details in individual manuscripts) was also taken up into the Sixto-Clementine edition of the Vulgate in the following form: 'Quoniam tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in coelo Pater, Verbum et Spiritus Sanctus, et hi tres unum sunt.' ('For there are three who bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. And there are three who bear witness on earth, the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three are one.') Although the decree of the Holy Office in 1897 decided in favor of the authenticity of the Comma Johanneum, today its spuriousness is also recognized by Catholic scholars. The passage is unknown to the entire Greek tradition" (Bultmann 81).
I am not sure about Bultmann's last observation in the quote above. Maybe he means that the JC does not appear in any of the early Greek MSS. For we know that it evidently does occur in the 14-15th century and it likewise appears in the 16th century. At any rate, it is more surely a late corruption of the Greek text as Ehrman
and Brown note: the Comma does not belong in Scripture. This is also the judgment of Westcott.

The OMA Minority Mentoring Program was organized by Dr. Judith Lightsey of the Radiation Oncology department. Dr. Lightsey took the time from her busy schedule to create a connection between current medical students and health professionals within the UF and Shands health care system. The inaugural reception for the program was held in April, 2008.
“The OMA Medical Student Mentoring Program is a newly established program designed to provide support and guidance to minority medical students at the University of Florida College of Medicine. As director, I developed the application process and matched students with their respective mentors. A reception was held in April where the students and mentors were introduced to each other. Our goal is to develop the program into a more structured activity whereby mentors are available to meet with their student throughout the academic year. The program is aimed at entering first year medical students however interested upperclassmen may also apply. The program involves both UF faculty and community physicians in the mentoring process.”
The OMA Minority Mentoring Program is designed to provide our URM students with faculty mentorship. Interested students are paired with interested mentors. It is a great opportunity for the fostering of relationships between faculty and students and for providing students with addition support during their medical school training.

The focus on leveraging 'big data' will drive agencies toward buying more pre-integrated IT solutions.
If there is a simple way to sum up what government technology practices will look like in five years, it is that agency IT departments will be busy managing data, not devices.
Agencies will get to that point in part through a series of deliberate decisions, such as buying certain kinds of prepackaged data center capabilities and not buying personal computing devices for every end user, several industry experts said.
But agencies will also move to a more-data, less-device future by default because the huge streams of data they will pump out, store, move around and act on will be an inevitable by-product of a hyper-connected workplace and society.
That relentless growth of data will lead to huge management challenges, said Yogesh Khanna, vice president and chief technology officer of IT infrastructure solutions at CSC's North American Public Sector. The current buzzword for this trend is “big data.” In the next few years, agencies will be busy learning the big-data basics, such as how to store data most efficiently, categorize it and preserve it according to policy requirements, Khanna said.
Five years from now, agency leaders will have moved on to a new challenge: fine-tuning the methods they use to turn all that data into tools that can support real-time decision-making, said Andras Szakal, vice president and CTO at IBM U.S. Federal. For example, military leaders could use advanced analytical systems, such as IBM’s Watson supercomputer, to quickly understand how to modify their complex supply chains in order to deploy forces and equipment during different mobilization scenarios, Szakal said.
CIOs will have more time to focus on building those kinds of analytical and decision-support systems because they will spend much less time picking just the right servers, storage systems, networks and software, and trying to get them to work together.
“These questions drive most CIOs crazy because you’re spending tons of resources integrating infrastructure instead of solving business problems today,” Szakal said.
In five years, agencies will buy selected cloud-based infrastructure services from third-party providers, which will reduce their system ownership and management work.
Khanna said the accelerating commoditization of IT infrastructure will enable cloud providers to offer raw computing power, storage and connectivity practically for free. “People will offer it for pennies on the dollar,” he said.
The remaining in-house IT infrastructure that agencies will operate will increasingly be in the form of pre-integrated solution stacks that combine hardware, connectivity, management software and built-in security services — a “data center in a box,” Szakal said.
Moreover, he predicts that industry consolidation will result in as few as three vendors capable of delivering those kinds of solutions.
Early versions of converged infrastructure products are starting to become available and are increasingly attractive to agency leaders who want to modernize and consolidate their data centers, said Deniece Peterson, senior manager of federal industry analysis at Input. But those moves will be governed, as always, by budget issues.
“The thing with government IT is you have what they plan to do and what they are actually doing, so it makes it difficult to forecast,” Peterson said.

1. Indeed, a king will reign righteously,and rulers will rule justly.
2. Each will be like a shelter from the wind,a refuge from the rain, like streams of water in a dry landand the shade of a massive rock in an arid land.
3. Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4. The reckless mind will gain knowledge,and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.
5. A fool will no longer be called a noble, nor a scoundrel said to be important.
6. For a fool speaks foolishnessand his mind plots iniquity.He lives in a godless wayand speaks falsely about the Lord.He leaves the hungry emptyand deprives the thirsty of drink.
7. The scoundrel’s weapons are destructive;he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies,even when the poor says what is right.
8. But a noble person plans noble things;he stands up for noble causes.
9. Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me.Pay attention to what I say,you overconfident daughters.
10. In a little more than a yearyou overconfident ones will shudder,for the vintage will failand the harvest will not come.
11. Shudder, you complacent ones;tremble, you overconfident ones!Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.
12. Beat your breasts in mourning for the delightful fields and the fruitful vines,
13. for the ground of my peoplegrowing thorns and briers, indeed, for every joyous house in the joyful city.
14. For the palace will be forsaken,the busy city abandoned.The hill and the watchtower will becomebarren places forever,the joy of wild donkeys,and a pasture for flocks,
15. until the Spirit from heaven is poured out on us. Then the desert will become an orchard,and the orchard will seem like a forest.
16. Then justice will inhabit the wilderness,and righteousness will dwell in the orchard.
17. The result of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousnesswill be quiet confidence forever.
18. Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place,in safe and secure dwellings.
19. But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink into the depths.
20. Those who sow seed are happybeside abundant waters; they let ox and donkey range freely.

Johnny Got His Gun (original title Johnny Got His Gun ) is an American film directed by Dalton Trumbo in 1971 after his novel published in 1939.
Joe Bonham ( Timothy Bottoms ) is a young, enthusiastic American who decides to commit to fighting on the front during the First World War . During a reconnaissance mission, he is seriously wounded by a shell and loses speech, sight, hearing and smell. The four limbs are then amputated when it is believed that he is no longer conscious. Lying on his hospital bed, he remembers his past and tries to guess the world around him with the only remaining possibility: the sensitivity of his skin. A dedicated nurse helps her find a connection with the outside world. When medical personnel understand that their soul and being are intact under this apparently deceased body, they must make a medical decision based on the values and beliefs of the time.
The original title Johnny Got His Gun is most likely conceived as a response to the propagandist song Over there by Henry Burr and the Peerless Quartet, broadcast in 1917 to encourage the engagement of American citizens during the First World War. The first lyrics are “Johnny get your gun, get your gun, get your gun. ”
The novel at the origin of the film
The book was published for the first time on , Two days after the beginning of the Second World War , and became famous for its openly anti- militarist character . It showed the violence and absurdity of war in a context where America was reluctant to get involved in the conflict. After the exhausting of the copies in bookshops, its reissue did not occur until the end of the Second World War, in 1945 .
Trumbo alternates black and white for reality (hospital and trenches), and colors for dreams (memories of Joe and his dreams).
While the United States was in the middle of the Vietnam War , the film’s release and recognition at the Cannes Film Festival resonated with the news. The various pacifist and anti- militarist movements of the 1970s made Johnny go to war, a major work in which one of the most violent indictments against the absurdity of all wars should be seen.

I’ve been remembering two (but I suspect there are more) video games that integrate the player’s doodling skills as CLMOOC (Connected Learning MOOC) explores the elements of doodling and sketching this Make Cycle.
The first game is one that I have often done with full classes with interactive boards. Draw a Stickman is easy to use, and has some fun elements that will get the whole classroom engaged, and I often use the activity as an introductory lesson around plot design, foreshadowing and character.
All you do is follow directions on the screen, drawing what you are prompted to draw, and the website uses your doodle to move the story along to the next chapter. The Epic app, which the website promotes, is designed along similar lines for mobile devices.
Go on. Give Draw a Stickman a try. It’s fun.
The second game that came to mind as we were doodling this week is Drawn to Life, a Nintendo game that we have on Wii here at home and my older kids once played it on mobile devices, too. I have only watched the game a bit and remember reading about it, as when it came out, the whole concept of player agency was a big deal.
I suspect the unexpected nature of players as artists is difficult to design for, as the parameters of what a player might draw or want to use can shift at any moment. But I like that concept of the player’s art skills and imagination being baked into the design of a video game format, and wish there was more of that.
Any other major drawing/doodle games that I am missing?
Peace (and games),

As visitors enter the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, they encounter arching aqueducts, established oak trees, fluttering pollinators and birds of many different feathers. The Wildflower Center is a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat.
What You’ll See In This Garden
- The entry cistern, which holds 12,000 gallons and is just one component of of the Center’s rainwater harvesting operation
- The founder’s stone, a dedication of the Wildflower Center to Lady Bird Johnson (March 31, 1995)
- A metal rendering of this quote from Mrs. Johnson:
“My special cause, the one that alerts my interest and quickens the pace of my life, is to preserve the wildflowers and native plants that define the regions of our land — to encourage and promote their use in appropriate areas, and thus help pass on to generations in waiting the quiet joys and satisfactions I have known since my childhood.”

Hypermagnesaemia is defined as a serum magnesium concentration > 1.1 mmol/L.
Hypermagnesaemia is an uncommon condition. It is usually only seen in the context of renal impairment and excess administration of magnesium. The normal range of serum magnesium is 0.7-1.1 mmol/L.
Hypermagnesaemia is defined as a serum concentration > 1.1 mmol/L, but clinical symptoms usually only develop when the level rises > 2.0 mmol/L.
Magnesium is principally absorbed from the intestines and excreted by the kidneys.
Magnesium is absorbed in the intestines and excreted by the kidney in urine. Bone is the main reservoir of magnesium in the body, but exchange with serum concentrations is not freely accessible.
The average daily intake of magnesium is 15 mmol, of which 5 mmol (one third) is absorbed and the rest is lost in the bowel. The principal site of absorption is the small bowel, but the colon can absorb a small amount.
The kidneys are the principal site of magnesium excretion. An estimated 80% of serum magnesium is filtered at the glomerulus. From here the principal site of reabsorption is the Loop of Henle in the thick ascending limb.
Reabsorption of magnesium is by passive diffusion due to a favourable electrical gradient generated by the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter. Therefore, loop diuretics, which affect sodium and chloride reabsorption in the loop of Henle can affect magnesium reabsorption. Other diuretics such as thiazides also increase magnesium urinary excretion.
Other factors that influence magnesium reabsorption in the nephron include:
There are no major hormones that regulate magnesium and interaction with the magnesium stores in bone is slow. Therefore, a negative magnesium balance (e.g. from inadequate intake) quickly leads to hypomagnesaemia.
As magnesium is reliant on urinary excretion for clearance, a positive magnesium balance (e.g. intravenous infusion) in the context of renal impairment can lead to hypermagnesaemia.
Hypermagnesaemia typically develops in the context of renal impairment or excess administration of magnesium.
Patients with end-stage renal disease typically have elevated magnesium levels (1.0-1.5 mmol/L) due to impaired renal excretion. The actual level of magnesium is reflective of oral magnesium intake in the diet.
Sharp elevations in magnesium can be seen with the exogenous administration of magnesium (commonly in magnesium-containing antacids or laxatives).
Magnesium may be given orally or intravenously. Alternatively, magnesium may be a major component of a drug (e.g. antacid or laxative).
These rarer causes typically feature only mild elevations in magnesium:
Hypermagnesaemia is typically asymptomatic unless serum concentration is > 2 mmol/L.
The diagnosis of hypermagnesaemia is based on a serum magnesium concentration >1.1 mmol/L.
Hypermagnesaemia is typically an incidental finding on blood tests. This may be seen in a patient presenting to hospital for another reason or on routine bloods. In most situations, the hypermagnesaemia is mild and the patient is asymptomatic.
Alternatively, plasma magnesium concentration may be checked for a specific clinical concern (e.g. significant ingestion of magnesium-containing medications or repeated administration of intravenous magnesium). This is particularly important in at risk patients (e.g. chronic kidney disease).
The majority of patients are asymptomatic and no specific management is required.
Hypermagnesaemia predominantly occurs in patients receiving exogenous administration of magnesium or in those with pre-existing renal disease. Therefore, management should centre on prevention. This means avoiding magnesium-containing medications (e.g. laxatives) in patients with CKD and monitoring patients receiving magnesium replacement.
The treatment of acute, symptomatic hypermagnesaemia depends on the severity of symptoms and degree of renal impairment. Patients with severe symptoms or severe renal impairment are likely to need therapy to decrease magnesium levels.
Usually leads to a rapid improvement in magnesium concentration.

Cherry Valley refuge receives fed designation
Local residents, conservation activists and political leaders such as Congressmen Paul Kanjorski, D-11, and Charlie Dent, R-15, are to be congratulated for last week's federal designation of Cherry Valley as a National Wildlife Refuge.
Even Kanjorski expressed surprise at the speed of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designation. Informational meetings on the proposal were held early this year, and public testimony was heard last month. It is the first national refuge in the Northeast in 10 years, and only the third such designation in Pennsylvania. (Read all about it and view some of the beautiful landscape at www.PoconoRecord.com/cherryvalley.)
The National Wildlife Refuge encompasses a potential acquisition boundary of more than 20,000 acres between Godfrey Ridge and Kittatinny Mountain. It includes land in Delaware Water Gap and Stroud, Hamilton, Chestnuthill, Ross and Smithfield townships. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will make federal money available to purchase properties only from willing sellers, and that land will be set aside for protection of plants, animals and fish.
It should be emphasized that there will be no forced acquisitions. Property owners within the boundary can opt to sell their land to the agency, not to sell it, or to obtain a conservation easement. Some of the earliest and most ardent supporters of the designation reside in Cherry Valley.
The refuge will include parts of 13 defined ecosystems where several federally endangered species reside. It also will protect the landscape of working farms and private homes throughout the scenic, rural valley. The designation will protect both rare and more common wildlife, and benefit scientific research. It also is expected to boost local tourism, with the federally acquired portions of the refuge area open to visitors.
Although the primary goal is protecting a pristine area, many advocates believe a wildlife refuge will help stem the tide of rising school property taxes by limiting future development.
There is reason to celebrate this federal designation that will benefit Cherry Valley, Monroe County and the Poconos in so many ways.

Thousands gather in Kuta, Bali to mark 10 years since terror attacks killed 202 people
Blasts targeted revelers in popular night clubs; 88 Australians were among dead
Survivors and relatives want a permanent park to be built on the site of the Sari Club
It's currently being used as a car park with prominent signs urging people not to urinate there
Cars park side by side in a vacant lot in the center of Kuta, Bali, near a sign that implores passersby not to urinate there.
It was here 10 years ago that a bomb tore through the Sari Club, for a split second silencing the crowd of revelers as they chatted, drank and danced on a typical Saturday night out.
Phil Britten was there with his team mates from the Kingsley Cats, Australian rules football players on an end of season trip from Perth, on the country’s west coast.
In his book “Undefeated,” Britten, who received burns to 60% of his body, describes the stench and burning in his throat from the bomb, before his hearing kicked in and the screams rang out.
“It started really softly, a moaning or whimpering, then grew louder and louder. It was piercing. It sounded unnatural, as if it was part of a horror movie, and it was terrifying,” he wrote.
Britten is back in Bali this week for memorial events to mark the 10-year anniversary of the bombing.
He’s one of thousands of victims, family members, government officials and dignitaries in Kuta to pay their respects to those killed in what has been described as Indonesia’s worst ever act of terrorism.
On the night of October 12, 2002, just past 11 p.m. local time, a bomb went off inside Paddy’s Bar, sending clubbers out into the street and into the path of a massive car bomb outside the Sari Club. A third, smaller bomb was detonated seconds later outside the U.S. consulate but it caused no injuries.
Back on the tourist strip, the air was thick was smoke, flames and chaos as survivors tried to drag themselves and others to safety.
Two hundred and two people were killed; 88 Australians, 38 Indonesians, 24 Britons, seven Americans and 30 others from a number of European countries. New Zealand, Brazil, Canada and Japan also lost citizens, as did South Africa, South Korea and Ecuador.
The attack was blamed on Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), a South East Asian militant group with links to al Qaeda. Since the attack, Indonesia has tried and executed three perpetrators and killed other key conspirators in police raids. The last man to stand trial over the blasts, Umar Patek, was jailed for 20 years in June for helping to assemble the bombs.
Writing in the Sydney Morning Herald on Thursday, Indonesia president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said 10 years on “we can say with some relief that justice has been done.”
The Bali bombings, he wrote, “set off a series of critical chain reactions. Indonesia developed a highly skilled and dedicated police anti-terror unit. And an international campaign was launched to restore the image of Indonesia as a peaceful tourist destination. Today, tourism in Bali has exceeded pre-attack figures.”
One man who won’t be in Kuta this week, if ever, is Grant Nicholson, the secretary of the Forbes Rugby Union club. He lost his best friend, Greg Sanderson, in the blast. Sanderson, or “Sando” as he was known, was one of 25 Forbes players who were there celebrating the end of the rugby season. Three didn’t make it home.
“I can pay my respects to Sando here, I don’t need to go to Bali and see what hasn’t been done,” Nicholson said from his home in Forbes, a town of just 8,500 people in rural New South Wales. He was referring to the site where the Sari Club once stood, which is now being used as a car park.
“It’s a sacred site,” he said. “It’s like walking over someone’s grave. Two hundred and two people died there… I don’t need to go to and see that to be close to Greg. He’s here with us.”
Campaigners had hoped by now there would be a permanent memorial to those killed in the attack. A monument to the dead now stands where Paddy’s Bar used to be, but Britten and other survivors want to see the Bali Peace Park, a place of reflection for those killed, built on the Sari site.
“Initially there were people who planted some banana palms, so there were some things being grown there, which was OK,” Britten said. “At least it wasn’t being driven over, walked on, urinated on.”
Development is said to have been held up in haggling over the price. “The landowner is asking a ridiculous amount of money – it’s not worth paying that much – it’s just unrealistic. So we’ve just got to work out what’s fair for everybody and come to a win-win,” Britten said.
Until then, survivors, friends and family members of those killed have created their own makeshift shrine. In the past few days, wreaths, flowers and photos of the dead have been laid on the former Sari site. An Australian flag hangs along a fence where someone has pinned photos of all 88 Australians killed, images crudely cut from a newspaper special.
Britten was just 22 years old when he was caught in the blast. It was his first time in Bali.
“I flew in, was here for six hours and I got blown up,” he said. Ten years on, he says with more than a hint of relief, “I’m in a place mentally and physically that I couldn’t have dreamed of.”
This is his eighth trip to Bali since the bombings, and another step in his personal journey from terror to a place of strength and peace.
“Just walking down the street I’m bumping into people I’ve met, or even seen in a paper, and you can just tell, you look at each other in the eyes and you can tell go, ‘yep, you’ve been there, you’ve done it,’” he said.
“You have a handshake and a cuddle and a cry and you move on. It’s quite surreal; it’s like we’ve known each other, all these people, for so long, but never met.”
While some may see the 10 year mark as a time to let go, Britten says, for him, the significance of the date won’t fade over time.
“Ten years does mark a significant stepping off point, but for me, 11, 12, 15, 20 years is going to feel exactly the same. When I wake up in the morning and I get changed I don’t see anything different each day. I see the scars of the burns that I got.
“For me each year is going to be exactly the same.”

In Part 3 of his Mahasivaratri talk for 2002, Bodhinatha quotes from Living with Siva on "the mission of the mission." A dynamic band of devas in the inner worlds guides and assists our monastic order, and it has been building up and guiding our lineage from its very beginning over 2,000 years ago. Bodhinatha goes on to talk about the importance of realizing the Self as a daily practice for the monks, about the Saiva Swami Sangam, its mission and way of working together, its vows, ideals, service and sadhana. He also welcomes two new yogis. Bodhinatha ends by saying that now is the time to realize the Self. Don't put it off!
There is a wonderful 'Living with Siva' lesson which talks about Parasiva. It came out some time in the last few days. I thought I would read it. It is called 'The mission of the Mission'.
"A legacy of devas from the entire parampara accompanies our monastic order, providing silent, unseen inner guidance and
protection for old and young alike. As long as at least one person within the entire group of mathavasis is going into and coming out of Parasiva once a day, the doorway to the Third World remains open to the hereditary entourage of devonic forces that has been building up for over two thousand years. This is because the brahmarandhra, the door of Brahman at the top of the head, remains open when Parasiva is daily experienced within a mathavasi community. It could be the oldest monk or within the youngest. This great realization occurring time and time again within someone day after day keeps the door of Brahm open for the entire prana chakravala of monastics, keeping vibrantly strong the inner, actinic connection with all gurus of our parampara, as well as the other sadhus, rishis and saints who have reached these same attainments, and with the sapta rishis themselves who guide our order from deep within the inner lokas."
This huge amount of wisdom is just sitting there, in the 'Living with Siva' lesson that has multiple facets. Of course, the one that stands out the most is the idea that someone needs to realize Parasiva everyday within the monastic community. It shows the importance of having meditations to try and do that. It also shows that it does not just fall upon one person. It does not even mention the Guru here. It says, "It might be the senior monastics or it might be the youngest monastic." It is everyone's duty to give it a try. We all share in this responsibility of trying to realize Parasiva every time we have a morning meditation. We have a morning meditation on our kulam days from about six to seven in the morning. It is during that time we all try to realize Parasiva and we hope at least one made it. Two or three is safer in case one fell asleep or something!
It puts a different perspective on Parasiva. It doesn't look that optional or it doesn't look that far off or doesn't look like the end of the path. It looks like this is something we should be doing everyday like cooking lunch. This is an important part of monastic life. It is not something special.
It puts it in a very nice perspective and then it shows how much help is going on on the inside. It is interesting, one of the sishya wrote in recently. He asked for some advise and I gave him some advise. He was reflecting on it and he said, "You know, it is starting to feel like I have two gurus. Is that okay to feel I have two gurus, Gurudeva on the inside and you in the first world?"
I said, "Sure, that is fine but why stop at two? You can keep counting, you know. Yogaswami is still there and that is at least up to three. If you keep going, you will get four or five." How many are there actually on the inside working with each of us? That is a very good question, something we haven't thought about a lot. Of course now, we are.
This points out in a very broad sense that there is a lot of help going on, on the inside, that comes along with the Parampara. As long as the monastic community upholds its disciplines and keeps the Aadheenam's vibration up, all this help on the inside will be there, not for just the monks but for everyone who is participating in the Parampara to benefit from in their lives, both spiritual and material.
It goes on, "My Saiva swamis, or Natha swamis, are distinguished by their orange robes, gold Natha earrings and three strands of rudraksha beads. They are the Saiva Siddhanta Yoga Order, known as the Saiva Swami Sangam when they gather in ecclesiastical conclave. The sangam does not follow the protocol of unanimous decision. Rather, it works in intuitive
one-mindedness to carry out instructions from the Kailasa Peetam, our spiritual seat of authority, to better the Saivite mission and the individuals dedicated to its success. These sannyasins are not looked upon as individuals so much as an integrated council, assembled and working in unison to perform a holy work as Sivanadiyars, servants of God Siva. Guided by the satguru, the Saiva Swami Sangam forms the ecclesiastical body of our Hindu Church which works in a humble way to protect the purity of the faith among all Hindu sects, through inspiring publications and other means of encouragement. Specifically, our Order's mission is to protect, preserve and promote the Saivite Hindu religion as embodied in the Tamil culture, traditions and scriptures of South India and Sri Lanka. Our monastic order follows the cenobitic pattern in which monastics live in community and work together toward common objectives. Sannyasins of this order are not wandering sadhus or silent contemplatives, known as anchorites, rather they are members of a brotherhood working closely and industriously with their satguru and with their brother monastics. At the time of sannyasa diksha, each has accepted the mission of the Kailasa Parampara as his own: to protect and perpetuate Saivism; to serve Hindus the world over; to provide, teach and disseminate scripture, religious literature and practical instruction; to promote temple construction and to exemplify the dignity and enlightenment of our Nandinatha Sampradaya. Living under lifetime vows of renunciation, humility, purity, confidence and obedience, these sannyasins are bound to fulfill their unique role in the Saivite culture of religious exemplars and staunch defenders of the faith. Their ideal is to balance outward service, Sivathondu, and inward contemplation-realization, Sivajnana, for a rich, fulfilling and useful life."
That gives a very nice description of our tradition and one reason I read it was we have the privilege of accepting two yogis this evening. You may have noticed some yellow being worn. Yogi Mahadevan and Yogi Japendranatha have taken up the Yogi staff of tapas, in preparation for, possibly, sannyas.
It is a wonderful pattern that Gurudeva has established of working together. It is one of the reasons we are able to do so much, and one of the reasons even Gurudeva was able to do so much because he had a good support team. It is the reason we are able to continue on all our activities. There is twenty-four of us working together very closely to fulfill the different aspects of the Mission that Gurudeva set in motion.
Last but not least, "Now is the time". Now is the time for what? When it comes to realizing Parasiva and even Satchidananda, now is the time. We tend to put it off and say, "I am not ready. I am unworthy. I am too busy. We tend to put it off. But it doesn't work in the way that something matures. In other words, it is independent of the maturity of the soul. It doesn't correspond in a direct way. Something happens in your karma and you have a realization. You can't predict it. So we want to be careful not to put it off by thoughts like, "I am not ready. Well, maybe when I am older, maybe when this happens, maybe when that happens ..."
Now is the time, could be this very moment. Maybe it just happened. You don't have to put it off. It needs a different attitude than we are used to in spiritual life, where we tend to think, "Well, I am making slow and steady progress. Everything is going along nicely and this is good, this is great." That is just a spiritual soul body maturing, going along quite steadily, making progress, this is good.
When it comes to realization, it doesn't work that way. For the deeper realizations you step out of time. It is not maturing, it is there all the time in the essence of the soul, if we can somehow claim it. If our meditation is intense enough, our mind is pure enough and we can claim it, why not claim it now? Now is the time.
Aum Namah Sivaya.

Your first drawing has an error.
Couple things you're missing about AC mains electrical.
Current must be equal and opposite in each cable or conduit...
that is to say, all the currents (polarity considered) must sum to zero. Your route would be a triangle, with each side of the triangle carrying current in only one direction - imbalanced.
The reason that's bad in AC is the same reason transformers work on AC - the vibrating electromagnetic fields (EMF) thrown by the wires. When equal and opposite, the electromagnetic fields cancel each other out, and it's not an issue. Otherwise the fields are trying to induce onto anything metallic. That takes energy which adds impedance which creates heat - either in the wires or the inductees. It also causes vibration, including in the cable, which can metal-fatigue and crack copper... narrowing the wire at the crack, causing localized heating and as it devolves, arcing which causes tremendous localized heating.
We don't like unplanned heat.
You also hear about people who have anxiety about EMFs - they may well be in a miswired house. Maybe humans can't feel EMF but animals definitely can.
We switch hots.
In an AC world the idea of polarity may make no sense. It is because the system has been bonded to keep voltages relative to earth at sane voltages. The transformer holds the hots at a particular relationship to neutral. Neutral is called that because it is bonded directly to earth at the service point.
As such, if the entire system is fully assembled and working properly, neutral voltage is within a couple volts of earth, and so neutral isn't particularly dangerous. The hot wires are dangerous.
So we switch hot, so we are able to more-or-less fully de-energize what we are switching — again, assuming the system is working properly. If a neutral connection fails, all bets are off!
In a pre-NEC-2011 switch loop, where a spur cable goes to a switch, if the white wire needs to be re-tasked to be a hot wire, it must be the always-hot wire. It also must be marked with black or colored tape, but almost nobody does.

|Title||Water storage in mountain basins from satellite snow cover monitoring|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||1997|
|Authors||Rango A., Martinec J.|
|Journal||Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems for Design and Operation of Water Resources Systems|
The average areal water equivalent of the seasonal snow cover on 1 April in the basin of the Rio Grande at Del Norte, Colorado (3419 km3, 2432-4215 m a.s.l.) is evaluated from periodical snow cover mapping by Landsat. A dry, near-average and wet hydrological year are examined. Snow reserves in terms of water storage volumes are computed in three elevation zones for actual temperatures and for a projected climate change of +4°C. The decrease of snow accumulation in a warmer climate results in a significant increase of the winter runoff and a corresponding decrease of the summer runoff. The computed winter/summer proportions change from 24/76% to 29/71% in dry year 1977, from 13/87% to 28/72% in the average year 1976, and from 7.5/92.5% to 12/88% the wet year 1979. An assessment of the seasonal recession from winter to summer reveals that the actual climate effect is even greater.

A Unique Opportunity to Acquire “The Memoirs of Aga Khan” – 1st Editions in Seven Languages
“I can only say to everyone who reads this book of mine that it is my profound conviction that man must never ignore and leave untended and undeveloped that spark of the Divine which is in him.”
The autobiography of the 48th Ismaili Imam, Sultan Muhammad Shah, Aga Khan III, was first published in London in 1954 under the title, The Memoirs of Aga Khan: World Enough and Time.
In the Prologue to his autobiography, Aga Khan III writes that he had been “urged by editors and publishers to write my memoirs, my own account of my life and experiences, of my beliefs and opinions, and the way in which they have been moulded.” Further on, the 48th Imam states that while he has tried to do his best in all the years he has spent in public life, “final judgement lies elsewhere.” And in the last paragraph of the Prologue, the Imam provides a succinct perspective on his writing his memoirs:
“….since I have witnessed this rapid and all-enveloping process of change in every domain of human interest and experience – the technical and mechanical revolution of our time, man’s developing mastery of natural forces, the recognition of the importance of the subconscious, the vast increase in longevity, the rise of new moral standards and the corresponding profound changes in outlook, and great political changes undreamed of in my youth – I hope in these coming chapters to give some picture of each epoch as it unfolded before the eyes and in the mind and heart of one who was usually an onlooker but sometimes and actively a participant.”
The Memoirs was originally published in English (the British and American editions being published in 1954), and while these English versions were circulated widely in the English-speaking world, a remarkable fact is that the 48th Imam’s autobiography was translated into several languages, both eastern and western. Besides translations into Gujarati, Sindhi and Urdu, The Memoirs of Aga Khan was translated into six European languages, all of which were published during 1954 and 1955. An interesting feature is that many of the illustrations in these translations are different to those that appear in the English editions.

An organization of gun owners mounted a new legal challenge to Colorado’s nearly decade-old ban on large-capacity magazines Thursday, citing a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court last month that was seen as a major expansion of gun rights.
The National Foundation for Gun Rights, the legal arm of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, sued Gov. Jared Polis in U.S. District Court in Denver, asking a federal judge to strike down as unconstitutional the state’s 2013 ban on magazines that hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition, enacted in the wake of the Aurora theater shooting.
The Colorado Supreme Court in 2020 unanimously upheld the ban, ruling in a lawsuit brought by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners in state court that the prohibition does not violate residents’ right to bear arms as guaranteed by the state Constitution.
But with the new challenge — this time in federal court — Rocky Mountain Gun Owners cite last month’s New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen ruling, which found a gun-permitting law in New York violated the Second Amendment. The majority interpreted the Second Amendment as protecting people’s rights to carry a gun for self-defense outside the home.

FRENCH CANADIAN LANGUAGE
History of French-Canadian Language
During the mid-18th century, Canadian colonists born in French Canada expanded across North America and colonized various regions, cities, and towns. Today, the majority of French Canadians live across North America, including the United States and Canada. This immigration has resulted in the speaking of French-Canadian throughout North America and the development of various different dialects that make this a unique language. Some of our countries biggest cities (Detroit, New Orleans), have large French- Canadian speaking populations creating the necessity for interpreting and translating. In addition, major Canadian cities such as Toronto and Montreal provide huge populations of French-Canadian speakers, promoting an even greater need for interpreting and translating services.
Understanding the French-Canadian Language
Canadian French distinguishes itself from the French spoken in France by the great quantity of words that came from aboriginal languages. Mutual intelligibility of Quebec French with Metropolitan French is a matter of heated debates among many linguists. If a comparison can be made, the differences between both dialects are probably larger than those between standard American and standard British English, and those between Mexican Spanish and European Spanish. It is also comparable to the distance between Croatian and Serbian, or spoken Norwegian and Swedish, or Czech and Slovak. Francophone Canadians abroad have to modify their accent somewhat in order to be easily understood. The differences in the two French dialects are as huge as the distance between France and Quebec. The language construction, vocabulary and pronunciation are all starkly different. Quebec French is generally categorized under Canadian French, which includes other French dialects used in Canada. The Canadian French dialect is older than the current France French dialect, as it grew only gradually in popularity outside of France, and it was more in isolation as it was surrounded by the predominant American English language.
Interpreting and Translating in French-Canadian

Digital revolutions unfold with multiple advanced systems that require modern businesses to adapt and incorporate into their system. The transforms eliminate manual business operation, thus introducing advanced technical skills.
Companies need to align their workforce to adapt to the digital changes and enhance productivity. The rise in tech development outweighs the number of professional developers in the industry. Businesses scramble to hire or outsource skilled workforce to maintain the systems.
However, technology considers business concerns by offering simplified digital software tools. The systems don’t require advanced knowledge to operate.
Today businesses can utilize the in-house workforce to develop business applications.
The innovation of low code software has erased the need for hand-coding services. Organizations can turn their employees into basic citizen developers to attain quality enterprise apps.
The scrapping off of hand-coding/traditional coding allows businesses to improve their operation and profitability. The low code software is compatible with various systems and requires no IT knowledge to operate.
Basic users can build applications within a few hours or days. The process saves time and cost directed toward hiring programmers to create a single application.
So what does this mean for college students? Keep reading to find out how you can get involved in this exciting new field of IT:
Citizen Developers and Low-Code
Organizations have developed an easy system of training basic users to citizen developers. The companies utilize their in-house teams to learn and develop applications that suit the business needs.
The new technology allows employees to discover new potentials in various business fields. Most citizen developers can create, modify and use an application quickly.
Low code helps design single apps to handle multiple activities.
Who is a Citizen Developer?
Citizen developers are people without any formal IT or software knowledge/training. The individual uses low-code systems to design and venture into app development.
The terms mean a person without any knowledge or skills in software development.
The Rising Need for Citizen Developers
Due to the drastic changes in the digital market, organizations are pushed to seek alternative ways to handle the pressure—the modern customer demands for fast digitized services, thus compelling businesses to adapt to modern tools.
There is no time or enough workforce to address the current markets. This provides room to train citizen developers to cover the software development gap.
There are various reasons why the need for citizen development is on the rise:
IT/Software Development Needs
Business automation requires more skills and workforce to implement the operations. Organizations are transforming their teams to developers to handle the new digital solutions.
However, the process is easily accomplished through low-code software tools.
The rising tech development demand encourages employees to turn to citizen developers and solve business issues. The system doesn’t abolish or eliminate the need for IT professionals but provides extra help to the department.
Basic IT users can now develop simple business apps to meet business solutions. Low-code systems provide citizens and developers with visual graphic tools as guides during app development. This helps companies handle the rising customer demands and provide fast, quality services.

By Jessica Irvine Economics Correspondent
FALTERING productivity growth is the result of a massive shift of workers into a mining industry that is still equipping itself to meet the demands of the boom, according to a Treasury paper that neutralises one of Labor's central attacks on the Government.
Other papers from Treasury's latest Economic Roundup also counter arguments by business groups that the corporate tax burden is too high and suggest that tax cuts can act as a disincentive for some people to work.
The Treasury statements come on the eve of a federal election campaign in which economic management is shaping as a key battleground. Labor has accused the Howard Government of being directly responsible for declining productivity growth through a failure to invest in infrastructure, skills and training.
Major policy proposals on broadband and education have been crafted around this idea, and Labor's treasury spokesman, Wayne Swan, has labelled it the "biggest black mark" on the Government's economic record.
But Treasury staff have concluded that "it is too early to read much into the slowdown in productivity in recent years".
While agreeing that productivity has slowed from its cracking pace of the 1990s, they argue this is due to a shift of workers into the mining industry, which has outpaced the availability of equipment and resources for them to do their jobs.
This has led to a "capital shallowing" in the mining industry and the lowering of output per hour worked - the definition of productivity.
"Over the past two years, within-industry mining productivity declines have subtracted around 1.3 percentage points from overall productivity growth," the research found.
Other parts of the economy have actually shown minor increases in productivity in recent years.
Treasury's analysis also suggests that, if this mining boom follows the pattern of previous booms, productivity is likely to turn a corner and improve soon.
A boom in the late 1980s and early 1990s sparked a five-year decline in productivity but was followed by a sharp resurgence as investments began to feed through into increased output.
Another paper by Treasury has taken aim at claims by business lobby groups that the tax burden on companies is high by international standards.
Pressure groups have seized upon the fact that company tax receipts are high as a proportion of GDP, to argue for increased concessions and a reduction in the company tax rate of 30 per cent.
But Treasury says this provides "a misleading impression of developments" given the different ways countries count tax. It argues that the ratio of company tax to corporate profits has actually fallen over the past 25 years to near the average level of comparable economies. This was due to a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 46 per cent in the early 1980s and the return to low inflation.
A third paper weighs into the tax debate, noting that tax cuts can act as a disincentive to work for some people, in that they need not work too much for the same net income.

CLEVELAND, Ohio --- More than 1,000 rallied at Olivet Institutional Baptist Church in Cleveland on Thursday night to show their support for expanding Medicaid in Ohio.
The assembly brought together members of religious congregations, community groups and major health care providers to demonstrate community support for expanding Medicaid.
The reason was because President Barack ''Obama's Affordable Care Act called for and funded the expansion of the Medicaid program, which provides health insurance to millions of poor Americans.
However, the Supreme Court ruled last year that the federal government could not compel states to expand Medicaid. The decision to expand it in Ohio is up to Gov. John Kasich and state legislators.
Linda Robinson was one many who several of her personal experience and urged Kasich to rule favorably for Ohio Medicaid Expansion.
"Access to health care is really important," said Robinson. 64, of Cleveland. "I know what it's like to wonder how to pay for medication."
Robinson said her brother, who died of cancer, was billed $6,000 a month for an experimental drug. "I wondered if I should sell my house or my car to help him pay for that," she said. "I loved my brother and wanted to do whatever I could to help him. But I can see why people today don't go to doctors. They feel they can't afford them."
It is unknown if Kasich will expand and offer government-supported health insurance to the estimated 600,000 residents currently without insurance.
If Ohio does not expand Medicaid, the state's poorest residents are expected to continue seeking free and discounted care at clinics and hospitals. If the state does expand it, hospitals will begin to be reimbursed through Medicaid.
If Ohio expands Medicaid, the state will fulfill an option under the Affordable Care Act to provide coverage to adults living at up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level -- which is $15,400 a year for an individual and about $32,000 a year for a family of four.
Kasich is expected to reveal his two-year state budget -- with his decision on Medicaid expansion -- on Feb. 4.
"We believe that opening access to life-saving health insurance to 600,000 Ohioans through the Medicaid program is the right thing to do for Ohio's people, for our economy and for our state's fiscal health," said the Rev. Tracey Lind, co-chairman of the GCC group from Trinity Cathedral which attended the assembly. The GCC includes more than 20,000 members of 40 churches, synagogues and mosques that are working for passage of Medicaid expansion.
Another speaker, David West got the assembly fired up with his story. He has no health insurance because he is unemployed.
Life fell apart for him when he moved from Las Vegas to Cleveland to get married a few years ago. He ended up in prison because of drug abuse. He started attending Cuyahoga Community College after getting out of prison last year.
"As you get older, you get wiser," said West, 47. "I'm trying to get a good education that will let me get a job and pay taxes, just like I used to do. I'm also trying to find a part-time job...but neither Tri-C nor a part-time job will help me to get health insurance.
"I guess it's in God's hands," he added. "But I would feel a lot better if I knew I could have Medicaid until I am back on my feet."
Greater Cleveland Congregations lead organizer Ari Lipman said a recent independent report by Ohio State University and the Health Policy Institute of Ohio shows expansion will bring in $1.43 billion in net fiscal savings and revenue to the state budget over the next eight years and add $17.5 billion in increased economic activity -- plus prevent about $8 billion in additional health care costs to Ohio businesses and individuals should expansion not take place.

Hackers are currently targeting computers manufactured before 2019 due to defects in the Intel Thunderbolt port, which is found in millions of computers, and hackers use a relatively simple piracy technology called Thunderspy in order to access the computer, so that the attack Thuderspy takes less than five minutes.
The Dutch researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology Björn Ruytenberg showed how this type of successful penetration can be implemented through a very common physical component, in addition to clarifying the details of the new attack method on Windows or Linux computers with a Thunderbolt port.
According to the researcher, Apple‘s macOS computers are not affected by the vulnerability unless the user is running Boot Camp, and Rothenberg launched a tool to determine that the computer is vulnerable to attack, and is it possible to enable Kernel DMA Protection on the device.
Security experts have warned for years that a computer that is left alone with a hacker, even for a few minutes, should already be considered a hacked device, so that the Dutch researcher’s technology can bypass the login screen of a locked computer, and it can also bypass hard disk encryption for full access to computer data .
Thunderbolt port provides extremely high transfer speeds by giving devices direct access to the computer’s memory, which also creates a number of weaknesses.
Researchers previously believed that these vulnerabilities, called “Thunderclap”, could be mitigated by preventing untrusted devices from accessing, or completely disrupting the “Thunderbolt” port, while permitting DisplayPort and USB-C access.
However, the Dutch researcher’s attack method can avoid these settings by changing the firmware that controls the Thunderbolt port, allowing any device to access the port, and the new penetration technology leaves no trace of intrusion, so the user will never know that his computer Hacked because the operating system will not display any visual change.
There is currently no executable software fix except disabling the Thunderbolt port, and the user also needs to encrypt the hard drive and shut down the computer completely when left unattended, for full protection.
“All that the attack needs is to remove the back cover of the device, connect the device for a while, reprogram the firmware of the internal chip responsible for the Thunderbolt port, reinstall the back cover, and enjoy full access to the computer, all within less than five minutes,” Reuterberg said.

Rhinoplasty is a complex surgery to do. A doctor has to think about a lot of different things. When it comes to the face, there’s no better place to start than with the nose. Even though the changes in nasal surgery are small, they can change how a nose looks. Even though these changes are small, you can’t make a mistake. Instead, each surgery is done based on what the patient needs. For Further information and Appointment Visit Website.

500 Days Of Film Reviews The Remarkable Story Of Astronaut, Gene Cernan, As Told In Documentary, The Last Man On The Moon
On Monday 16th January 2017, the last man to walk on the moon, Gene Cernan, died aged 82. With his passing, the world lost a remarkable hero and an inspirational storyteller.
Eugene Andrew Cernan was born on the 14th March 1934 in Bellwood, Illinois. Growing up, he spent a lot of time on his grandparent’s ranch and hoped, one day, to have a ranch of his own. He achieved this aim and, as Mark Craig’s respectful documentary shows, so much more besides.
In his twenties, Cernan joined the US Navy as a pilot. Stationed in San Diego, he loved to fly - a passion that never left him. Then in 1963, after a rigorous selection process, Cernan became one of 14 astronauts selected by NASA to join the Gemini Program.
Immediately after joining NASA’s space program, the new astronauts were thrust into the media spotlight. Bombarded by the press, they had to learn how to deal with their newfound fame and hero status.
While the astronauts became addicted to their work, their wives and families had to shoulder the emotional burden. “If you think going to the Moon is hard, you should try staying home,” explains Cernan’s first wife, Barbara.
The human cost of NASA's space program was extremely high. In February 1966, the crew of Gemini 9, Elliot See and Charles Bassett, were killed in an airplane crash. Then, on 27 January 1967, three astronauts - Gus Grissom, Edward White and Cernan’s great friend, Roger Chaffee - died when fire swept through their spacecraft during an Apollo 1 mission rehearsal at Cape Kennedy.
The Last Man On The Moon highlights the impact these tragedies had on Cernan and his colleagues. The film also features moving interviews with Chaffee’s widow, Martha, and mission director, Dr Christopher Kraft. Their pain is still raw.
In the aftermath of the Gemini 9 tragedy, Gene Cernan and Tom Stafford became the flight's prime crew. One of the main objectives of the mission was a two hour space walk. Heading out into the unknown, Cernan experienced significant challenges with his tether (which he called “the snake”). He also encountered difficulties with movement, stability and vision (his visor completely fogged up).
He was unable to complete his mission as a result and Craig's documentary shows that this disappointment never truly left him. However, the lessons learned from Gemini 9 proved invaluable for the Apollo space program.
Stafford and Cernan reunited for Apollo 10, joined by command module pilot, John Young. The Last Man On The Moon captures Cernan saying that no one really remembers this mission. However, Apollo 10 meant everything to one man - Neil Armstrong. It was a critical dress rehearsal for the first Moon landing.
A 2007 interview for NASA about the Apollo space missions reveals Cernan's keen sense of humour: "I keep telling Neil Armstrong that we painted that white line in the sky all the way to the Moon down to 47,000 feet so he wouldn't get lost, and all he had to do was land. Made it sort of easy for him."
Cernan experienced his own moon landing on Apollo 17. He became the 11th man out of 12 to walk on the Moon and the last man to leave it - a fact that he could never quite accept.
Cernan's website features this comment from the remarkable astronaut: “Too many years have passed for me to still be the last man to have left his footprints on the Moon. I believe with all my heart that somewhere out there is a young boy or girl with indomitable will and courage who will lift that dubious distinction from my shoulders and take us back where we belong. Let us give that dream a chance.”
Cernan’s pride in NASA’s Space Program is infectious. While some astronauts struggled with life after space, he embraced it and made it his new mission to share all that he had experienced with the world.
The loss of Gene Cernan adds a layer of poignancy to The Last Man On The Moon. However, Craig’s film will help to ensure that his remarkable, inspirational story will never be forgotten.

Meet the Artisans behind the Handcrafted goodness!
In the villages of Kutch, tradition is like a seamstress. It runs between the threads of the warp and the weft going up and down, in and out, hither and thither, giving form to a weaver’s imagination. In this, the humble handloom — a complex and laborious system sustains many artisan families who live and breathe their craft. Here are a few people who made your clothes :)
Khemji Bhai: He is practicing this craft from past 20 years. He loves to weave the traditional Kutch weave designs but also likes to challenge himself with the contemporary designs that the new age designers give him.
Deepak Bhai: He is the youngest one in the lot and quiet fast at weaving designs. He plans to continue doing this craft and maybe one day travel to various exhibitions to showcase his talent.
Babu Bhai: He is the most quiet person out of the four weavers. He believes that tradition never dies it is classic and rules over any other trend.
Ramesh Bhai: He learned this craft from his father, worked with him after school hours when he was a kid. After completing his school he started practicing the craft for a living.

By Ana Martinez-Ortiz
In times of great turmoil and great triumph, we often find ourselves looking back on our past for guidance. As the cliché saying goes, history has a way of repeating itself and can act as a guide when it comes to making a decision about the next step.
Given today’s current climate, it is not unusual to hear people invoking Martin Luther King, Jr.’s name in the name of social justice, civil rights and democracy. After all, King was a prolific speaker and a prominent figure whose words and actions, which implored peaceful and nonviolent measures, had a global impact that went beyond America’s borders.
If King were alive today, he would be 92 years old. He first became a prominent Civil Rights figure in his twenties and would remain so until his death in 1968.
As the country prepares to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which will take place this year on Monday, Jan. 18, many find themselves asking what King would think of the world today.
Would he be disappointed that civil equity has yet to be achieved? Angry that Black men, women and children continue to be killed at disproportionate rates compared to their white counterparts. Committed to keeping up the fight for racial equity? Hopeful that change would soon be coming?
No one can say for certain, but his actions and words speak for themselves and many would hedge a guess that he’d be all those things and more.
King’s wish was to live in an equitable world, a world where all people are granted their basic human rights. As expressed in his best-known speech, “I Have A Dream,” King famously said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
It’s likely that King would look at the world today and see a dream unfulfilled.
The world that exists today continues to be ripe with injustices. Some injustices such as police brutality are old, but some such as the disproportionate number of Black people dying from COVID-19 are new.
During the Civil Rights Movement, the leaders and activists and protestors demanded not only change but a better world. They marched for it. They were arrested for it. They died for it. They hoped for it. Change and improvement don’t happen overnight, but that doesn’t mean they are not worth fighting for.
The world today is better than it was before, but it can be better, it must be better.
King’s most famous speech is “I Have A Dream” and the thing about dreams is, there is no time limit on when they can be manifested.

High-Intensity Laser (HIL) technology is based on the principle of low-level laser therapy (LLLT). High power and choice of the right wavelength allow for deep tissue penetration. A high-intensity laser offers a powerful and non-addictive form of pain management. Through a natural process of energy transfer (bio-stimulation and photomechanical effect), it speeds up healing and regeneration.
The bio-stimulation characteristic of the High-Intensity Laser is responsible for fast healing. High-Intensity Laser stimulates the tissue to faster oxygen exchange in the mitochondria and consequently increased the production of ATP. When the High-Intensity Laser treatment is applied, full motion of the shoulder is restored significantly faster than with conservative treatment.
High-Intensity Laser treatment shortens the rest phase, relieves pain, and prevents the edema to reach the chronic phase. High-Intensity Laser treats inflammation by decreasing the concentration of pro-inflammatory mediators in the area.
High-Intensity Laser features deep penetration which can get through the skin all the way to the source of pain whether its vertebrae, deep-lying trigger point, or ligament. It relieves pain by blocking free nerve endings, increasing blood perfusion of the treated area, and speeding up metabolism. All effects of High-Intensity Laser combined, lead to immediate pain relief and faster healing.
The High-Intensity Laser treats the muscle through a thermic effect and at the same time by triggering photomechanical processes on the cellular level, which cause the synthesis of extracellular agents, endothelial cells, and regeneration of the muscle and connective tissue cells.
High-Intensity Laser is typically used in two modes – pulsed and continuous. Each mode affects the tissue differently and triggers different medical effects. Overall medical effects are Bio-stimulation, pain relief, anti-inflammatory effect, superficial thermic effect, and muscle relaxation. In pulsed mode- analgesic effect, microcirculation stimulation, and anti-inflammatory effects. In continuous mode- bio-stimulation, thermic effect, muscle relaxation, recovery from nerve injury, increase bone and cartilage formation.
Laser (an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) can be used as a therapeutic device that produces monochromatic (one specific wavelength), coherent (constant phase), and polarized (directional) light. Therapeutic lasers are defined by their power and wavelength. 1064nm wavelength of the High-Intensity Laser ensures a good ratio between penetration and absorption in the tissue. The amount of power a laser can safely deliver can reduce therapy time by more than a half.

One of the common themes I see in politics is frustration with our representatives in Washington. They are perceived to be partially if not fully responsible for the woes of our nation. Personally, I don’t find fault with them. I blame me and and I blame you.
In the United States we live in what is called a Representative Republic. This basically means that the voters elect representatives who make the decisions. Now, we are slowly becoming a democracy but I’ll save my opinion on that development for a future post.
One argument here is that if we don’t like what our representatives are doing in Washington, in our State, or in our home town, then we have a simple remedy. Vote for someone who makes better decisions.
However, this is not my main argument. In a representative Republic the politicians are representative of the voters. So, if we don’t like the politicians then our problem is with ourselves. What has happened to the United States? Or has anything happened? Have we always be selfish, bickering, and out to gratify our immediate needs regardless of future consequences?
I think the evidence suggests that there was a time when Americans cared about something besides themselves. Certainly the Founding Fathers were trying to build a nation that would change the world, not just their circumstances with England.
I realize there are many wonderful people in this country but the we must look to our politicians because they are a reflection of who we are. Our votes, our values, our desires. That’s what we see in Washington, us. I see men and women who desire election more than governance, whose decisions are based on what will grant them immediate gratification (election victory, donor money) and no stomach for painful solutions. Why do I see this? Because this is us. We vote for them, we, apparently, want them.
Your next question is, and should be, so Tom, complain away but what do you offer as a solution? Stop telling me what’s wrong and start telling me how to fix it.
Here it is. Teach people to think critically.
Write blogs on how to make good decisions. Think everything through so as to be a shining example for your friends and your family. Listen to the political pundits and then research their words. Read articles, come to an informed, critical decision. If the majority of people can do this, and it’s not easy, then we will elect politicians who do the same thing. Then, well, anything is possible.

People today are capturing more photos and videos and accumulating more digital documents than ever before. Can you relate?
Global photo-taking will reach 1.5 trillion photos in 2022 alone, according to a new report by Rise Above Research, a market research and consulting firm in the digital imaging industry. That’s about 188 pictures per year for every human on Earth, given a global population of almost 8 billion in 2021.
In celebration of World Backup Day on March 31, we’re here to remind you that it’s a good time to safeguard your digital and scanned photos, videos, documents, texts, and emails by creating second copies, or backups, of them and storing them somewhere secure.
If you aren’t (yet) backing up your computers and more, check out our quick and easy guide (below) to setting up a 3-2-1 backup system, the industry standard for safely preserving your treasured memories and personal data.
Why back up your data
Most of us know that having a reliable backup system is important, but far too many people remain vulnerable to data loss, despite their best efforts. Phones get lost, stolen, or dropped in lakes. Computers crash; external storage drives fail. Viruses corrupt files and folders. Cloud services can have outages or increase fees. You can accidentally delete something important. Not to mention that ransomware attacks are on the rise.
How to set up 3-2-1 backup
Recommended by no less an authority than the Department of Homeland Security’s Computer Emergency Readiness Team, a 3-2-1 backup formula protects against data loss. Here are the basics:
- Keep at least 3 copies of any important file: 1 primary and 2 backups
- Keep files on 2 different media types (for example, computer hard disk plus external hard drive, solid state drive, or cloud service)
- Store 1 copy off-site (perhaps your office or a cloud service)
The current numbers: State of backup in 2021
About 80% of people have backed up the data on their computers at least once, according to a 2021 survey conducted by backup service provider Backblaze. That’s a 23% increase since 2008.
Impressively, 11% of those surveyed are now backing up daily, if not more often. It’s part of a positive trend since 2018, when only 6% of respondents did daily backups. Still, a full 20% (one in five people) have never backed up their files. People 65 and older account for 31% of this data-vulnerable group. (And yes, that does mean it’s time to visit older relatives and help them set up an automated backup system.)
The survey did not ask people about backing up photos and videos from their phones.
How many photos are being saved and preserved?
The need for digital storage to backup our important photos and files is growing fast. In 2022, nearly 9 trillion unique digital photos will be stored on hard drives and other storage formats, said Rise Above Research analyst David Haueter.
The total number of photos stored this year is closer to 16 trillion photos when backup copies are included, he added. By 2026, the unique digital photos saved will reach nearly 13.6 trillion.
How Mylio Photos helps you automatically backup your photos and more
The Mylio Photos app empowers you to take control of a lifetime of photos — and to protect them from device failure or loss. Mylio Photos creates a peer-to-peer connection between your computer, phone, tablet, and storage drives that automatically syncs all your photos and videos to all devices. You’re welcome to add a cloud service to Mylio Photos as an extra layer of protection but it’s not necessary.
When you have Mylio Photos on your computer, external drive, and phone, you have already accomplished the first two U.S. CERT recommendations. To check off the third, add Mylio Photos to a device in another location, like your computer or external drive at the office or a cloud storage service.
For affordable and reliable storage options, Seagate offers a range of external hard drives (HDDs), some of which come with a Mylio Photos subscription. For faster and more durable portable storage, Crucial makes a variety of solid state drives (SSDs).
Download Mylio Photos now to see for yourself how it can consolidate all your digital and scanned photos in one easy-to-search library you can access on all your devices. Plus, you’ll never lose a photo.

We all feel it.
We at times are haunted by it.
We can choose to allow it to stagnate us, immobilize us and disempower us.
For some, fear is at the core of their regret.
Fear often is spoken about by your inner critic who incessantly whispers to you thoughts that bring about a feeling of fear.
We can, however, choose to allow fear to motivate us, to free us, to liberate us from feeling stuck.
I remember losing a bet. A BIG bet. The bet was that the loser had to go on a carnival ride of the winner’s choice. I FEARED rollercoasters. For years I feared them.
I listened hard to my inner critic, that mean girl voice telling me stories that fueled my feeling of fear.
There were no facts attached to my story, yet I was AFRAID, it seemed, to let go of feeling FEAR.
What is FEAR? It’s a four letter word that means only what we choose to make it mean. Although the feeling didn’t feel pleasant, I empowered it by avoiding it.
I had to ask myself, what was my attachment to feeling fear and why was I so bound and determined to keep it close to me and feel it all the time?
Unfortunately, my friend who won the bet, also knew I was afraid of that darn loop-d-loop ride.
I can still recall pleading and begging for her to choose a different ride. I think I even tried bribing her with a 10 dollar bill (I was young, that seemed like a lot of money!).
That day, my friend gave me a gift.
She gifted me the realization that my feeling was just that. Once buckled in, white knuckling it and all, I came out the other end. Just fine.
I survived. I felt courageous. I felt empowered.
I thought “what took me so long” to bust through my belief and prove it WRONG.
OK, did I go back on that same day? NOPE
But I took a huge step in knowing that FEAR was just a feeling – nothing more.
Today, if there’s a carnival I am going to that has a roller coaster, I’m on it! I
What’s your rollercoaster ride?

Types of Ear Piercings
Ear piercings have gained massive popularity over the years, and it isn’t all that surprising. Ear piercings are great fashion accessories that are easy to customize according to the occasion and your own personal style. There are so many types of ear piercings out there. They are so versatile that they can serve as subtle accents in your outfit or as the star of your ensemble. You can mix and match which ones you want to get.
If you’re thinking about which types of ear piercings to get, you might get overwhelmed by the different factors that you need to consider. Sometimes, even just the ear-piercing names can be hard to remember. Worry not because this list got you covered! From the location to the pain scale, this guide on the different types of ear piercings is sure to help ease your decision-making.
Choosing the Types of Ear Piercings You Want
Aside from finding the right piercer (which we will talk about at the end of the article), you will also need to consider factors such as the location, pain scale, and healing time. The ear might seem like a small body part to you at first, but there are actually 13 different types of ear piercings that you can get! Each type varies; thus, its location, pain scale, and healing time will be different.
Lobe piercings are the most common type of ear piercings out there. In fact, most people will probably have lobe piercings as their first ear piercing ever. This is because lobe piercings are the least painful to have. They sit on your earlobe, where it’s all flesh and no bone. While everybody’s sensitivity levels to pain differ, piercers can agree that most lobe piercings won’t exceed a score of 6 out of 10 on the pain scale, with 10 being the most painful. Plus, lobe piercings heal faster and are easier to clean.
1. Standard Lobe Piercing
The standard lobe piercing is a simple piercing through the lobe. Your piercer simply has to prick your lobe with the piercing needle, from the inside and then outside, and then you’re done! This standard lobe piercing usually heals within 1 to 2 months. It can, however, take longer if you get double or even triple lobe piercings.
2. Transverse Lobe Piercing
This type of ear piercing is also on the lobe. However, unlike the standard lobe piercing, the transverse lobe piercing runs horizontally on the earlobe. There are different ways to experiment with a transverse lobe piercing, but your ear shape will limit your choices. If you’re unsure what angle and size are possible for your ear shape, don’t be afraid to ask your piercer.
However, keep in mind that a transverse lobe piercing will heal relatively slower than a standard lobe piercing. Some extreme cases take up to ten months to heal. Everybody’s body works differently, so it’s important to pay close attention to your piercings.
3. Orbital Piercing
The orbital piercing refers to any two piercings connected with a single earring such as a piece of hoop jewelry. Usually, you can find orbital piercings on the earlobe, as it offers a lot of space for side-by-side piercings. However, some also get orbital piercings on their inner ears.
Like the transverse lobe piercing, it heals slower because it requires two perforations, so healing time can range from four months to a year.
Outer Ear Piercings
Outer ear piercings are types of ear piercings that lie on the curve of your outer ear. Thus, piercers classify these as cartilage piercings. These types of ear piercings require your piercers to puncture through cartilage, the hard tissue that provides structure to your external ear. It is a case-to-case basis, but you can expect outer ear piercings to be more painful than lobe piercings. They will also take a relatively long time to heal.
4. Tragus Piercing
This type of ear piercing adorns the tragus. The tragus is the tiny flap that covers your ear canal. It is the type of ear piercing that is closest to the face. You’ll find that most piercers will also warn you about its aftercare, as it will inhibit you from wearing earphones. Wearing earphones with a fresh tragus piercing can put you at risk for an infection. Putting them on and taking them off repeatedly can easily irritate the skin there.
As a cartilage piercing, the tragus piercing is around a 6 out of 10 on the pain threshold, and it will take around two months to heal.
5. Snug Piercing
Also known as the anti-helix piercing, snug piercing is a type of piercing that many consider being the most painful. It sits on your ear’s anti-helix, which is the rim of cartilage inside your ear above the anti-tragus. This type of ear piercing is less common than other ear piercings, so you will definitely get noticed with this one. However, not all ear shapes allow for a snug piercing. A go signal from your piercer will be necessary before you can get one.
Like most cartilage piercings, the snug piercing is around a 7 out of 10 on the pain scale and will take up to four to six months to heal. However, some can last up to a whole year, so you really have to be ready to commit to lengthy aftercare here.
6. Forward Helix Piercing
The forward helix piercing lies on the helix or the curve of your ear. However, unlike a regular helix piercing, it sits a little lower on your ear, closer to where the curve of your ear meets the side of your face. Depending on your ear shape, you can get multiple forward helix piercings, but most of the jewelry used for this type of ear piercing is studs.
The forward helix piercing is around a 5 to 6 out of 10 on the pain scale, and it will take around three to nine months before it fully heals.
7. Industrial Piercing
Industrial piercings are Instagram favorites. Some call the industrial piercing “scaffold,” “bar piercing,” or “construction piercing.” Industrial piercings sit on your upper ear cartilage. And like the transverse lobe piercing, they are a horizontal bar that calls for two holes that span your ear cartilage. This piercing is easily one of the most eye-catching piercings, but it is also one of the most painful to have.
Most piercers claim that industrial piercing is a 7 out of 10 on the pain scale. The healing time can range from four months to a whole year. The aftercare can also be taxing. You are cleaning two different piercings, after all.
If you decide on getting an industrial piercing, you’ll have to be extra mindful when you’re taking off your shirt or combing through your hair. As pretty as this type of ear piercing is, it is much more prone to irritation.
8. Auricle Piercing
Some people prefer having only one ear piercing, but for those who like to curate ear piercings, the auricle piercing is a popular choice to complete the look because of its location. The auricle piercing sits just inside the outer part of the ear, in between the lobe and the helix. The auricle piercing is also easy to decorate. You can choose different types of earrings. Some popular types of earrings for an auricle piercing are captive bead rings, cartilage studs, and hoops.
Most piercers claim that this type of piercing is around a 7 out of 10 on the pain scale. It will take roughly around three to five months of healing time.
Inner Ear Piercings
As the name shows, inner ear piercings are types of piercings that sit on your inner ear. These types of ear piercings will also involve piercing the cartilage of your ear. Like outer ear piercings, inner ear piercings will be more painful than lobe piercings. However, since they aren’t as exposed as outer ear piercings, they can heal faster, given that proper aftercare is done consistently.
9. Anti-Tragus Piercing
You can find an anti-tragus piercing sitting on the piece of cartilage right above your lobe and opposite the tragus. This type of ear piercing is especially popular among individuals who are interested in constellation piercings. However, not all ear shapes can accommodate an anti-tragus piercing. This is especially true if your ears are already adorned with several lobe piercings.
Piercers believe that this type of ear piercing can be painful even after the session, with a pain threshold of 6 to 7 out of 10. As always, healing time will vary, but it usually takes around three to nine months.
10. Helix Piercing
One of the most popular types of ear piercings is helix piercing. A helix piercing is a cartilage piercing that sits on the upper part of the ear. Because of the ample space on the upper part of the ear, plenty of individuals will opt for a double or triple helix. Helix piercings are especially versatile, so you can choose from different types of earrings once it fully heals.
This helix piercing is low on the pain threshold at a 4 out of 10, although some will rate it up to a 7 out of 10. It is around the average healing time of three to six months.
11. Rook Piercing
In the inner ridge of the ear cartilage is where you can find a rook piercing. The shell of your ear nestles protectively around this type of piercing, so it is less likely for a rook piercing to catch onto clothing. Popular earring choices for this type of ear piercing are hoops and barbells.
Like most types of ear piercings, the rook piercing is around a 6 out of 10 on the pain scale and can take around six months to a year to heal, depending on how committed you are to its aftercare.
12. Daith Piercing
Despite being a little more hidden than the other ear piercings, the daith piercing easily stands out as a popular favorite. You can find a daith piercing at the innermost part of your ear cartilage, near the tragus. Some people believe daith piercings can help ease migraines. While a case study proves this, it is yet to be considered a scientific fact. One thing’s for sure: daith piercings are versatile and use different earrings such as hoops, barbells, and captive bead rings.
The daith piercing calls for a little more finesse in aftercare cleaning. However, it is less painful than most cartilage piercings. Most piercers rate this at a 5 out of 10 on the pain scale. It will take around six to nine months to heal, but it will be worth it if you think it suits your personality and style the best.
13. Outer Conch Piercing
The outer conch piercing is another type of ear piercing that is an Instagram favorite. This type of piercing is in between the anti-helix and helix. The name comes from this part of the ear’s resemblance to conch seashells.
Most conch piercings rank at 6 out of 10 on the pain scale, and their healing time can range from three to nine months.
Finding the Right Piercer
Before everything else, it is important to find the right piercer. Many people overlook this factor, but it is an important step that you shouldn’t skim over. Finding the right piercer is crucial in ensuring that you have a pleasant experience before, during, and after getting your ear piercing.
Before getting your ear piercing, your piercer should help you decide on the types of ear piercings you want to get. They should provide full disclosure of how much it’s going to cost and how much it’s going to hurt.
During your session, your piercer should use clean tools and have a neat set-up. Many piercers pride themselves on their craft, so they will take hygiene and organization seriously in their studios. If you catch even a hint of sloppiness such as rusty or poorly stored piercing needles, consider reevaluating your choice for your own health and safety. You wouldn’t want to be placed at any kind of risk for an infection.
After getting your ear piercing, your piercer will most likely hand you an aftercare guide and check up on you to ensure that your ear piercing is healing well. Some aftercare tips vary, but the general rules are to avoid sleeping on the side of your piercing, wash your hands before touching your piercings, and clean the piercing with salt or saline solution 1 to 2 times a day.
A piercer can make or break your experience, so be sure to pick one that’s right just for you! That way, you can have a fashionable new accessory without worrying about infections or other health risks.
Dressing Up (or Down) with Your New Piercing
Once your ear piercing has healed inside and outside, then it’s finally time to rejoice and have fun! You can opt to swap them out with different kinds of jewelry. If you’re tired of seeing the usual stud on your lobe, then you could spice things up with a hoop earring (or two!). You can have fun with gold or platinum earrings, beaded or simple hoops, or even homemade or personalized jewelry to show off your quirky traits.
Of course, don’t forget to clean your piercings, even if they’re fully healed. You’ll also want to avoid leaving your piercings empty. Doing so for prolonged periods of time can prompt the piercing to close back up again. This would warrant another trip to your local piercer. At least with this guide on the different types of ear piercings, you’ll be much more prepared than before!

This article was originally published on Botium’s blog on March 24, 2022, prior to Cyara’s acquisition of Botium. Learn more about Cyara + Botium
Like most people in other technical fields, we can also get easily carried away with what we are currently building, cherishing the tiniest details we carefully thought out and already focusing on future improvements. Our thoughts are constantly revolving around technical jargon and often getting the automatic stigma of being too technical. Although this is a badge we are proud to wear, we never forget the main reason behind our daily efforts.
Eventually, every IT project has the same or rather similar goals:
- Simplify workflows
- Save time
- Reduce costs
- Increase revenue
Chatbot testing is not any different. In this article, we highlight the main business reasons that make automated chatbot testing with Botium an essential and unmissable part of every chatbot project.
Leverage Chatbots for a positive user experience
No matter what area the chatbot operates in, its main job is to connect and communicate with people. In most cases these people are customers. The equation of success is actually the same for chatbots as for conventional customer lines: fast and efficient service. Although the technological advancements behind conversational AI are promising, the user experience is still lacking!
Chatbots fail, and even the kindest, or funniest fall-back intent (when the agent doesn’t recognize the end-user expression) can’t save you if the user receives the “sorry, I didn’t understand” message for the third time.
Since ensuring the joy of owning and using a chatbot means covering all requests, businesses account for factors like pleasure, elegance, personality, and even fun while designing chatbots. Of course, these soft touches can really place the cherry on top, but in most cases the functionality of the chatbot is deficient.
It won’t be much of a help if your chatbot “speaks” posh British if the server is down and can not be reached, or it can not handle user requests anymore due to the high load. Start with the basics and then level them up and figure out how they can assist the user through the whole process.
Build a positive reputation with a chatbot
While chatbots can help manage your business, they can also be a key tool to maintain and nurture your reputation.
As you might know, customers do not “judge” your company solely based on how you perform in your core activity. Trust is transferable. It is a common assumption to think that the quality of your work in one area will be reflected in others.
Who would want to travel with an airline that needs to maintain hundreds of airbuses a year, but can’t develop a well-functioning chatbot?
As long as consumers feel their expectations have been met, they are likely to return as a customer.
Clear conclusion: happy customers leave positive reviews, which in turn, leads to more customers and ultimately increased sales.
It’s clear that a strong online reputation is crucial to obtain, but it can take years to build and only a few minutes to break.
Increase your competitive advantage with a chatbot
Having a website in 1994, when they started to become available for the general public, was considered something extremely cool and rare to have. Today (regardless of the activity), even the smallest companies can not survive without a transparent website.
Chatbots will go through the same evolution, but at a faster pace. While a couple of years ago, placing a virtual assistant on your landing page or social media was a big step, today they are must-haves. The increasing number of chatbots on the market has moved the competition from the product to the quality level. The question is no longer whether you have a chatbot, but what kind of a chatbot you have.
Maximize ROI in your chatbot project
Chatbots fail. It’s a known issue, but there are not enough actions to avoid it. If we take a look at the global market, only 3% of the big companies that own a chatbot (and could easily afford QA) have automated testing in place for their conversational AI. The other 97% are wasting enormous manpower on manual testing, or don’t even pay attention to quality assurance. However, with this attitude, the primary purpose of chatbot development becomes meaningless. The chatbot can not complete the task in hand and returns the request to the human agent as it would have been without the chatbot anyway. The only difference between the two scenarios is the millions of dollars spent on chatbot development.
Management usually gives priority to IT projects that have revenue growth potential over those that focus mainly on cost savings. Chatbot testing actually falls into both categories, yet it still hasn’t fought its well-deserved position in the development cycle of most businesses.
Exactly how much money can we save with automated chatbot testing?
The following figure shows how the working hours are distributed for manual and Botium automated testing when developing and monitoring an average Telecom customer chatbot.
The outcome in terms of time saved is not less than 28.725 hours a year!
Of course, this is an estimation, since the processes and workflows are different in every business, but the proportions are speaking for themselves. With this information, it is easy to calculate the money that could be saved if you are aware of the average hourly wage of engineers.
Increase employee efficiency with chatbots
According to a recent World Economic Forum report, robots, automation, and artificial intelligence could replace 85 million jobs globally by 2025. However, it will also create 97 million new jobs in the future.
Undoubtedly, new phenomena always provoke great enthusiasm, but the general experience is that they do not become exclusive, but are integrated into existing systems and gain space there.
With the advent of Conversational AI, customer service employers can become valuable members of the chatbot development team as business analysts, conversation designers, or test set writers. Breaking out of monotony can greatly increase productivity and the feeling of motivation.
The common perception that customer-service bots are generally less helpful than human representatives can result from the lack of quality assurance. It’s time to put the question on the table: is the money actually saved, that we did not spend on quality assurance, or just had to invest it in something else, such as reputation management after a failed bot. When will our sloppiness backfire and how much will it cost?
Quality is the red ribbon that differentiates us from the competition and leads to customer loyalty and revenue growth. Investing in chatbot testing is letting your customers know that you care about them, their priorities, and their safety. In addition, when quality is a priority for a company, it also sets the tone for the employees. A work culture focused on meeting certain standards is good for everyone!

Refugee camp’s tough atmosphere disappears in circus tent
Circus trainer in Za’atri dreams about returning home to Syria and starting up the country’s first circus. In Za’atri also girls are now training circus groups. Anwar Abujesh, 25, has a big dream. A year ago he did not know anything about the circus , but now he is dreaming of setting up the first circus group in Syria . Every week day Abujesh trains two boys’ circus groups in Za’atri Syrian refugee camp in northern Jordan, together with Mohammad Qusam Guzlan, 20, and Khaled Shubat, 22.
“There would be magicians, acrobats and elephants balancing in the big tent ,” Abujesh says.
Finn Church Aid (FCA) started humanitarian work in Za’atri refugee camp in the autumn of 2012. Soon, FCA’s employees got an idea that a circus school could be a place where young refugees would unload the traumas of war and being a refugee.
Boys and girls have separate circus tents
In late 2012 Palestinian Nablus Circus School started classes at FCA compound, and last year the Finnish Sirkus Magenta continued operating the circus school for eight months. Since mid-November the Syrian trainers have been in charge. Every day around 40 young Syrian refugees train acrobatics, juggling, unicycle riding and diabolo tricks. Girls’ and boys’ rectangular, beige training tents stand next to each other and dominate FCA’s fenced compound in Za’atri refugee camp’s fourth district. The concrete floors of the training tents have been topped with a PVC mat. When practicing somersaults, flips and other jumps the youth use a thick mattress, made by piling up ordinary mattresses and wrapping them with tarpaulin.
Becoming a father in a refugee camp
Anwar Abujesh started as the assistant trainer for the boys circus groups, but after Magenta left he became the head trainer. He says that a circus trainer’s job is hard, but rewarding. Abujesh has lived in Za’atri camp for a year and half and just recently he became a father of a baby girl.
Abujesh says the circus has made him a new man – internally and externally. “Before, I wore shirts and neat pants and I feel I was arrogant. Now I have become a much simpler man,” he explains.
“I laugh more than before” Also, Fatima Hariri, 19, – one of the three girls in the group of circus trainers – says the circus has changed her for the better. “I have met new people. I laugh a lot more than before,” Hariri says. Hariri trains the girls’ circus groups with Wafaa Salamat, 17, and Muna Rifai, 18. According to the trainers circus school is important for many young refugees, because there is not much to do in the camp. The schools operate in two shifts and the school days are only a few hours long. Not all school-aged refugee children go to school. Abujesh Anwar, who used to work as a mathematics teacher, says he makes sure youth in his circus groups go to school. “If there is no school, there is no circus.”
Circus boosts self-confidence
Circus training improves young people’s physical fitness, but also increases their self-esteem and trust in other people. Circus tricks also help them to forget the reality of living in a refugee camp. Anwar Abujesh says that in the beginning some people were disrupting the classes with their bad behaviour, but now these young people have learned to concentrate.
Girls’ trainers say their students have become more confident. Six months ago, 14 -year-old Hala Zoubi was so shy she refused to do anything in front of the other girls and she often used to burst into tears. Now she is passionate about acrobatics and has become braver. “I have become stronger,” she says. “When I grow up I want to be a doctor.”
Girls’ tent’s windows are taped shut
Most Syrian refugees in Za’atri are from Daraa in southern Syria. People from that region are not as highly educated as those from big cities. Many have very conservative views, for instance on what is appropriate for girls and how they should behave.
The girls have their own tent and its’ windows have been taped shut. Around the tent there is a black plastic fence to prevent the boys from peeping in at the girls in the tent. Girls’ circus groups cannot perform in front of boys or men.
Initially many parents opposed their daughter’s circus hobby. But they changed their minds when they got to see the circus show. FCA has organised discussions with parents to tell parents about the circus school.
“My parents think that the circus tent is the place where we can get out of the bad atmosphere of the camp. It is a place where we can laugh and enjoy”,Muna Rifai says.
Public perfomance is the goal
The trainers and other adults emphasise the circus’ social and mental aspects. For most youth training is foremost organised playing with friends and one can learn to do impressive tricks. Especially with the unicycle.
Everyone’s wish is to perform in front of the audience, for instance in one of the schools in Za’atri. But a circus performance in a refugee camp requires many permits and safety plans. At the end of each week, the boys perform a circus show in their tent. Sometimes FCA staff is in the audience, often there is nobody. When FCA hosts guests, the boys circus groups always want to show their tricks to the guests.
Adnan Askar, 14, Mohammad Al- Raba’iy, 15, and Mohammad Al- Zoubani, 15, would like to have circus practice every single day.
They are confident they can impress the audience with the tricks they have learned. If Anwar Abujesh in the future to sets up Syria’s first circus group, many of the performers have probably developed their love for circus in Za’atri . Many young refugees dream of becoming circus professionals. “We want to continue the circus even when we go back to Syria”, Muna Rifai says.

THE INSPIRATION FOR THE OSCAR-NOMINATED MOTION PICTURE ‘JOJO RABBIT’
* ACADEMY AWARD WINNER FOR BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY * BAFTA WINNER: BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY * NOMINATED FOR 6 OSCARS INCLUDING BEST PICTURE AND BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY*
‘Leunens said the film showed moviegoers that “we have a choice, are we going to go back to this kind of thinking … superior, inferior … or are we going to move on and bring more love and compassion to our relationships?”‘ Guardian
‘A bold novel of great fierceness, insight, and emotional savagery’ Historical Novel Society
‘The good-natured humour and quirkiness of the film and the drama of the novel are quite fun to contrast, and both are impactful in their own right.’ Cherwell
This extraordinary novel is seen through the eyes of Johannes, an avid member of the Hitler Youth in the 1940s. After he is severely injured in a raid, he discovers his parents are hiding a Jewish girl called Elsa behind a false wall in their large house in Vienna.
His initial horror turns to interest, then love and obsession. After the disappearance of his parents, Johannes finds he is the only one aware of Elsa’s existence in the house, the only one responsible for her survival. Both manipulating and manipulated, Johannes dreads the end of the war: with it will come the prospect of losing Elsa and their relationship, which ranges through passion and obsession, dependence and indifference, love and hate.
This gripping, masterful work examines truth and lies at both political and personal levels, laying bare the darkest corners of the human soul.

Because of intracellular growth requirements, large-scale cultures of chlamydiae and purification of its proteins are difficult and laborious. antigens in serological assays and in a lymphoproliferation test. The Omp2 and Hsp60 antigens were readily recognized by the antibodies appearing after pulmonary contamination following intranasal inoculation of in mice. Also, splenocytes collected from mice immunized with MOMP or Hsp60 proteins proliferated in response to in vitro stimulation with the corresponding proteins. can be an important individual pathogen that triggers acute respiratory attacks like pneumonia, bronchitis, and pharyngitis. Furthermore, the association between and many chronic circumstances, including asthma, chronic SNS-032 bronchitis, and atherosclerosis continues to be looked into by many analysis groupings (9, 10, 19, 32). Antimicrobial therapy, effective in treatment of severe infections, may possibly not be able to take care of the persistent infections from the persistent conditions. Therefore, a recent type of analysis is aimed at a technique for controlling or preventing chlamydia infections. Immune intervention may be the opportinity for such a technique but would need an understanding from the systems of immunity in the many stages of infections. Sera from contaminated individuals recognize many protein of (3, 8, 14, 15). Among the best-characterized antigens among different types is the main external membrane proteins (MOMP). This 40-kDa proteins apparently functions being a porin route in the external membrane of types (2, 44). Regardless of the exceptional sequence similarity between your MOMPs of chlamydial types, MOMP will not appear to be as immunodominant as MOMP. Another external membrane proteins, Omp2 (62 kDa), continues to be defined as a focus on of immune reputation in both and attacks (7, 21, 37). Antibodies against Hsp60 (GroEL) (60 kDa) of have already been regarded as very important to autoimmune systems in circumstances like pelvic inflammatory disease and CAB39L tubal infertility (6). For better evaluation the average person antigens ought to be obtained clear of other proteins. Nevertheless, the purification of antigens from is quite difficult, the primary obstacle getting its parasitic and pathogenic character, and no web host is designed for cultivation of in realistic quantities. To get over this, heterologous proteins appearance systems could be utilized. are favorable, using the feasibility of large-scale civilizations. It’s been proven that utilizing a appearance vector formulated with the promoter, a ribosome binding site, and a truncated sign series of -amylase gene, you’ll be able to collect high degrees of intracytoplasmic proteins in inclusion physiques (11, 29, 22). In the present study, we have used a expression system for the production of proteins MOMP, Omp2, and Hsp60, and evaluated their immunogenicity in the experimental model for contamination. Experimental animal models to study have been established previously (16, 24, 45). Intranasal inoculation of the bacteria in mice resembles in many respects contamination in humans: this includes infection kinetics, relatively mild symptoms, the capacity for repeated infections, and the development of partial protection. Studies using these models have shown that cell mediated immunity is necessary for protection against contamination in mice. Specifically, CD8+ T cells are necessary for protection from both main and reinfection (25, 31). Here, we show that chlamydial proteins were readily expressed in the system as soluble proteins or insoluble inclusion body. The inclusion body were solubilized SNS-032 with SNS-032 detergents for purification SNS-032 of chlamydial proteins. The purified proteins were functional in immunological assays as enzyme immunoassay (EIA) antigens and specific stimulators in lymphoproliferation assays. These proteins were also used to produce antigen-specific antisera in rabbits. MATERIALS AND METHODS Strains and plasmids. Kajaani 6 (K6) was originally provided by Pekka Saikku (National Public Health Institute, Oulu, Finland). K6 was utilized for extraction of the genomic DNA for cloning. strains utilized for expressing chlamydial antigens, and the plasmids used as expression vectors are outlined in Table ?Table1.1. The C-terminal end of the produced chlamydial proteins was extended with a histidine hexamer with a linker of a glycine dimer. The recombinant plasmids were transferred for expression into WB600, which is usually devoid of six extracellular proteases, or into IH6140, with.

Transcript from the "Svelte Basics" Lesson
>> Okay, so in this section we're gonna go through the entire interactive Svelte tutorial. And by the end of it you'll have a complete grasp of what Svelte can do and how you write Svelte components. And so what I invite you to do is, in a new tab open the tutorial, go to Svelte.dev/tutorial, and we're just gonna go through the whole thing top to bottom, soup to nuts Now, this has some introductory spiel that I've already basically explained, so we're gonna go down there and click on the Next button, And we'll begin with our Hello world component.
[00:00:58] So all of the three languages of the web they all fit together in Svelte component in a very idiomatic way. The first thing that we need to do is add some data. So gonna create a script tag up here, and I'm gonna create a variable, call it name, and we'll just give it a value like that world.
[00:01:49] By the way, if you ever get stuck while going through these tutorials and you wanna just skip the end result then you can click on the Show me button down here and it will take you straight to the end state and then you can click Reset to go back to the beginning.
[00:02:08] Now in the same way that we can use curly braces to put text inside our application, we can use it inside element attributes. So our image tag here is missing a source attribute. You just add one like that and give it the value of src which is in the script log.
[00:02:28] Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you. But Svelte is giving us a warning. This orange bar beneath the markup is telling us that an image element should have an alt attribute. And this is really important this is an accessibility matter. Most people when they're using a website they can see the content of the image, and they don't need an alt attribute but there are a lot of users for whom that's not true.
[00:02:53] That includes people with impaired vision who are using assistive technologies like screen readers. But it also includes people who are on a slow connection, and they've got the markup but it hasn't yet been able to load the content of the image. So it's very important that we always add an alt attribute to describe what is in the image.
[00:03:10] So in this case, "A man dances". Now accessibility is a big and difficult topic and there's no way that a framework like Svelte can automatically check that you are writing accessible markup in every case. For example, this alt tag could be absolute gibberish and it wouldn't know any better.
[00:03:34] So you do have to understand the purpose of the accessibility warnings and make sure that you are actually building accessible markup. And that includes things like making sure that the contrast ratios on the content that you're building are high enough. But Svelte will do the best that it can to make sure that you're not making any obvious mistakes like putting markup that's inaccessible on the page.
[00:04:00] Now we can also use the curly braces inside attributes. So let's say we wanted to add a value name, Then we can put that inside attribute there. And then if I open my Dev tools and inspect this image, You'll see that the alt attribute has been applied as we'd expect.
[00:04:29] Now, we very often run into this situation here where we have an attribute name and value that match, and so we have a convenient shorthand in Svelte. We can just get rid of the attribute name and the equals and pass it through like that, and that's something that we do quite a lot in this workshop.
[00:05:19] And you'll see that it's applied those styles to the paragraph as we would expect. But wait, there's more Svelte lets you have nested components. That is to say a component can contain other components. And in that situation we don't want the styles from one component to affect other components on the page because then it becomes very difficult to understand where a given style is coming from.
[00:05:40] So Svelte actually scopes the styles inside a component to just the markup that belongs in the same component. And we can show this by adding a script tag that imports our nested component, just select that whole block and paste it at the top of app.Svelte. That imports the nested component, which is visible in this tap here, and then we'll put that underneath our paragraph.
[00:06:09] And so this paragraph has the styles defined here, but they don't affect this paragraph even though it's the same element. And the way that this works under the hood is that Svelte scopes the CSS selector with a generated hash that is then computed from the contents of your style block.
[00:06:27] It puts that class on the selector in the CSS output and it also puts it on the element. And that way there's no possibility of these selectors clashing between different components. And obviously it goes the other way as well. If I add a style here, It will affect the child component but not the parent component.
[00:06:56] We can also do something else that's quite interesting. Normally when you're write in CSS you have this phenomenon of The Append-Only Stylesheet. Where you add some styles, and then you add some more styles, and then you add some more styles and then you're not sure if you still need these styles but you're scared to remove it because you don't know what is affected by it because CSS is inherently global.
[00:07:14] But because we don't have that problem because our styles are scoped to the component we can remove the styles that aren't used inside the component by analyzing the CSS and the markup together and seeing which selectors aren't being applied. So if we have this unused class here, then we look at the CSS output, That color red has been stripped out.
[00:08:03] Which means that if I click over to the Result here this string contains some HTML we can actually see the angle brackets of that tag. In some situations, you wanna put the actual HTML onto the page and that's really easy to do we just prefix it with @html.
[00:08:20] It's a special type of tag. Then now you can see that this is some bold text. Now there is a big caveat here there's no sanitization that happens. What that means is that you could potentially inject some dangerous HTML. So you need to make sure that the HTML that you're putting inside your component comes from a source that you trust.
[00:08:39] If it's coming from a source that you don't trust, like some user input that you don't control, then you need to make sure that you sanitize that HTML to remove any script tags or anything else that could be used in a cross-site scripting attack before you include that on a page that is visible to another user.
[00:08:54] Okay, so we just had a great question about whether you can add global styles if you need to. So we're gonna skip back to the section on Styling. Sorry, the section on Master Components. And we're gonna put that, That nested paragraph inside the component. And this time in our app.Svelte, we're gonna change this p selector to a global p selector.
[00:09:26] And we do that using some syntax that we stole from the CSS modules project. It's : global is the modifier, and then we wrap the (p) selector like so. And now every p element on the page will be affected by those styles. And the way that that works, if you look at the CSS output, it just hasn't bothered to apply the scoping, select the scoping class name to that selector.
[00:09:51] So that's useful if you need to do something like change the styles on the body element because obviously, you're not gonna have the body element inside your component. But generally, that's something that you don't wanna use too much of. If you have global styles, I personally think that they should go into global.CSS file.
[00:10:08] That's where I put my rules about colors and typography, all of my CSS variables on the page. But this is a useful escape hatch for the times that you do need it.

Imagine the power of a tornado…. now think of the devastation a tsunami can bring….. now combine those two together!
That’s pretty much what happened to the central part of the Philippines! Entire islands are said to be missing while others were flattened completely! Buildings were pushed down, houses were swept away and century old trees were uprooted like they were nothing. Lands were demolished with nothing spared in the way of Super Typhoon Haiyan, locally known as Yolanda, said to be the STRONGEST storm ever recorded. Super typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda was reported to have record breaking wind gusts reaching up to 380kph!
Families, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends and relatives were torn apart! One of the islands hit is estimating a death toll of over 10,000 people! What’s worse is now the power and communication lines for the survivors are severely limited, at best. Plus, there is an intensive shortage of food, drinking water, clean clothing, a place to sleep and other basic necessities.
They need our help.
Here are some posters put together by our friends with legitimate and verified organizations where you can help. These are verified organizations you can volunteer at or send donations to, whether it be cash or products, and you can do it from the Philippines or anywhere in the world!
Please talk some time out of your day or a little bit out of your pockets, to help these people in desperate need, who were hit hardest by super typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda.

Active Listening- A Key Life Skill
As a professional, a husband and father, it is a requirement to listen to those who have issues to discuss. People in my life voice problems, talk about their dreams and detail day-to-day happenings. It is key to your listening skills and make yourself an "active listener" in order to meet the needs of others and learn about their lives.
Life is a people-business. No matter what job you work at, from fast-food to nuclear engineering requires active listening. What is active listening? Simply put, it is a dedicated concentration and focus on the message the speaker is communicating to you, the listener. In communication, there are 3-main points of consideration: the speaker, the message and the listener. The words and non-verbal communication methods of the speaker must be analyzed.
Consider the items below when actively listening:
What non-verbal cues is the speaker delivering? Are they actively upset? Confused?
Am I listening to the speaker or am I formulating a reply while they are speaking?
What has the speaker left out? Is it intentional? Why?
Am I asking open or closed ended questions? How are my questions perceived by the speaker?
What can I do to put the speaker or listener at ease?
Is the speaker aware I want to listen to them? Am I fully facing the listener and giving eye contact?
Next time you listen to someone, be present in the conversation and give them your undivided attention.

The Mediterranean Sea is what scientists call a Hot Spot for Climate Change. That is particularly true for the south-east of France which, according to the IPCC models, is going to be struck in the next 30 years by higher risks of sea rising, forest fires, floods and drought, all due to the temperatures rise between 2 and 4°C. What will the 21th century look like in that area inhabited by 5 millions and where the population rises over 10 millions just on the French Riviera in summertime? What will be the impact of climate change on that paradisiac environment until 2100?

New Mexico may foreshadow a Medicaid crisis facing states next year as the federal economic stimulus money dwindles.
Look on page 7 of a recent PowerPoint presentation by New Mexico Human Services Secretary Pam Hyde to state lawmakers. She said the state's Medicaid program could be facing a shortfall of up to $300 million by 2011 unless costs are contained. The stimulus money will be gone by then, she stressed in an interview with The New Mexico Independent .
The Medicaid problem is on top of New Mexico's ongoing fiscal pressures. Less than two months into the new fiscal year, the state has a separate $400 million budget gap due to tax revenue that has plunged deeper than projected. That has prompted Gov. Bill Richardson (D) and legislative leaders to plan a special session in October.
One in four New Mexico residents gets some form of state-financed health care. A $300 million Medicaid gap would ensure cuts "much more drastic than we've had to do in the past," Hyde said. Like many states, New Mexico used its stimulus money this year to help close a shortfall.
Other states may have the same Medicaid challenge.
A new report shows that, in July, 69 additional people each day qualified for the Medicaid program in Nebraska, a one-month record. In Rhode Island, a new analysis says nearly half of the state budget goes to safety-net programs, and Medicaid spending accounted for almost 90 percent of the increase in social service spending between 1992 and 2006. West Virginia's budget director predicted that the department that oversees Medicaid will soon consume a fourth of the state budget, according to the Charleston Daily Mail , and the state's Medicaid trust fund is expected to run dry by 2013.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has started a Website for Twitter users to offer suggestions on how to turn around the struggling state. "Yes, you can fix CA in 140 characters!" one tweet said.
The site expands the governor's June 2009 Twitter request to submit ideas about fixing the state budget. Schwarzenegger also toured Twitter headquarters and participated in a webcast.
It remains to be seen how helpful the site will be, judging from some of the initial responses: "Legalize marijuana ... and tax it like alcohol." "Reduce the major expense areas: Health and Human Services, Corrections, Education …" "Please VETO Harvey Milk Day." Then again, there were some thoughtful responses: "Stop spending money you don't have."
Nearly two months into the current fiscal year, three states - Arizona, Connecticut and Pennsylvania - still do not have final budget agreements.
At least on the surface, Arizona appears closest to a deal. The Legislature has sent a budget to Gov. Jan Brewer (R), who is weighing whether to sign or veto it before a Sept. 5 deadline. But it's the same budget she rejected seven weeks ago, the Arizona Daily Star notes, and negotiations are continuing, as Brewer pushes legislators for a ballot measure that could temporarily raise the state sales tax.
There were signs of progress in Connecticut this week. Gov. M. Jodi Rell (R) offered a revised budget plan that would hike income taxes on the wealthy, prompting leaders in the Democratic-controlled General Assembly to say, "We're very encouraged by the governor's proposal," according to the Hartford Courant . The budget could come up for a vote next week.
Pennsylvania is another story. As the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review put it, "Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell and Senate Republicans can't agree on what they've agreed to," with Rendell seeing progress in the budget talks where the GOP saw none. Republicans insist the state must make deeper cuts to balance the books, while Rendell and other Democrats have demanded new revenue sources.

While there is a fast-growing policy interest in offering financial products to help rural households manage risk, the literature is still scant as to which products are the most effective. In order to inform gender targeting of rural finance policy, this paper investigates which financial products best improve farmers’ productivity, resilience, and welfare, and whether benefits affect men and women equally. Using a randomized field experiment in Senegal and Burkina Faso, we compare male and female farmers who are offered index-based agricultural insurance with those who are offered a variety of savings instruments. We found that female farm managers were less likely to purchase agricultural insurance and more likely to invest in savings for emergencies, even when we controlled for access to informal insurance and differences in crop choice. We hypothesize that this difference results from the fact that although men and women are equally exposed to yield risk, women face additional sources of life cycle risk—particularly health risks associated with fertility and childcare—that men do not. In essence, the basis risk associated with agricultural insurance products is higher for women. Insurance was more effective than savings at increasing input spending and use. Those who purchased more insurance realized higher average yields and were better able to manage food insecurity and shocks. This suggests that gender differences in demand for financial products can have an impact on productivity, resilience, and welfare.

Acrylic was created to attain glass-like clarity while being robust enough to withstand tremendous pressure. Acrylic pipes can tolerate temperatures as high as 160°F. Acrylic is a popular material for manufacturing bongs because of its low cost, along with its thermal qualities, adaptability, sturdiness, and clarity. Acrylic pipes are excellent for getting the most bang for your buck. Acrylic pipes are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for the best smoking experience at a low cost.
Consider the benefits of acrylic pipes over other sorts of pipes, and you’ll notice that acrylic pipes outperform other types of pipes in various ways. Acrylic may be molded into many different shapes and colors, allowing for a vast range of aesthetic possibilities. But the most critical question that arises is, are they safe to smoke from? Read on to find out more.
What is Acrylic?
Plexiglass is another name for acrylic, which is transparent plastic. It’s comparable to polycarbonate, but it’s less poisonous, making it better for pipes.
This sort of plastic is unique in that it resembles glass in appearance. Acrylic’s strength and rigidity are also noteworthy. It weighs nearly half as much as glass but has far more significant impact resistance. Acrylic sheets are also inexpensive and simple to construct and color, making them ideal for various items such as pipes and bongs.
What is an Acrylic Pipe?
Acrylic Pipe has an energizing, artistic, and approachable appeal. Models are designed in various shapes, colors, and body types. Because they are made of thinner plastic, they endure longer.
Acrylic pipes have the advantage of being inexpensive and convenient to transport. Even after falling or squeezing, the body is sufficiently strong, not ready to break. They are easier to transport while traveling because they are lighter in weight.
Regardless of your preferences and needs, visit this website to get everything you need, from small to huge pipes, colorful to plain, etc.
Benefits of Acrylic Pipes
Budget-Friendly and Durable
Acrylic pipes are the most common choice for cannabis smokers who are just getting started with pipes or on a budget. Because acrylic is a form of plastic, these pipes can be made in bulk quickly, making them far less expensive than glass pipes. Because the acrylic material is relatively strong, you won’t have to worry about your pipe breaking while traveling or share it with others. Because acrylic reacts to severe heat the same way as glass does, it’s best not to leave it too long near a flame or heat source. Even if your acrylic pipe breaks, it is inexpensive to replace.
Variety of Colors and Design
Apart from the low price, another benefit of acrylic pipes is that they come in various fun forms and colors. There are many different styles to choose from when it comes to acrylic pipes, and you will have a large selection to choose from when browsing for these items. You’ll never run out of options, and you’ll indeed find one that meets your preferences. It’s crucial to have a nice-looking product since it makes your smoking sessions more enjoyable by giving you something to look at. Stoners compete to have the coolest-looking goods, and as a result, you can find something that suits you practically anywhere on the market for acrylic pipes.
You Can Hide Them Easily
If necessary, acrylic pipes come in small sizes that can be hidden. Cannabis usage for recreational purposes is still banned in many parts of the world. As a result, many stoners must be able to conceal their use. Small acrylic pipes, for example, are inconspicuous and easy to conceal. These items are infamous for being easy to hide, and because of their size and construction materials, they are unlikely to shatter. As a result, they can be concealed in numerous ways. This type of product is ideal for stoners who need to transfer their product discreetly.
These features make them very appealing to many of the community who would like a practical and aesthetically pleasing instrument for their smoking sessions. Their usefulness originates from the material used in their manufacture, which is resistant to breakage. Furthermore, they have practical designs that make them perfect for primary use, without the bells and whistles that make many other items unnecessarily tricky. Acrylic pipes are ideal for smokers who desire a convenient and straightforward smoking experience without the complications of glass pipes.
Is an Acrylic Pipe safe to use?
Acrylic is less dangerous than most pipes since it does not contain damaging BPA and does not emit harmful compounds unless heated above 300 degrees Celsius. The UV tolerance keeps your bong water from being stale. Unlike other polymers and silicone, acrylic is see-through, allowing you to keep a better eye on the hacks you’re doing and better control your breathing.
Acrylic is a thermoplastic prestigious for its break safe properties, UV resistance, and strength in addition to other things, making them ideal for carrying with you for climbs, setting up camp, parties, travels, pretty much any place you would have no desire to gamble with taking glass go as they are substantially less liable to break. They are additionally incredible for any smoker with pets or who is outright cumbersome as it is inordinately difficult to break an acrylic pipe by pushing it over.
Acrylic pipes are an excellent pick for first-time water pipe users. They are sensibly priced. They are accessible in various shapes and sizes, permitting you to rapidly figure out which style you like without spending a fortune on a silicone or glass pipe.
Acrylic pipes are additionally great for setting up camp, bunch meetings, and celebrations. The most significant contention is the insignificant expense since you will not need to be worried about your Pipe being taken or broken. They do, notwithstanding, include the ideal mix of little weight and brilliant strength, which are the two most crucial attributes to search for in a smoking pipe that can be used for traveling.

IT pros will have their hands full with technologies that have been hyped and are now ripe for adoption. Here are come of the selected enterprise picks.
SD-WAN in a Takeoff Stage
Five years ago, the term SD-WAN barely existed. Five years from now, SD-WAN will be an USD 8 billion a year business, according to IDC.
Software Defined WAN makes use of public Internet links to replace more costly MPLS, private links to deliver WAN connectivity for an organization. IDC is now forecasting that in 2021 SD-WAN will bring in USD 8.05 billion in revenue, giving the nascent networking segment a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 69.6 percent.
IoT Applications to Look Out for in 2018
What IoT is packed with for this year, is beyond anyone’s imagination. The shipment of all the smart home devices, be it safety and security systems like alarms, cameras, sensors or smart appliances like coffee makers, washing machines, dryers or any energy equipment, would increase two-fold by 2020. This number is expected to swell with AI becoming the new UI, UX with hyper-personalization.
Many verticals still have business operations that involve manual observation of equipment status, inventory levels, and other key metrics. Where there is currently manual observation, there may be a great opportunity for a high-ROI project involving IoT. Some verticals that have a lot of manual observations are oil and gas, energy distribution, supply chain, and telecommunications.
Part of what is going to shape growth, according to a set of predictions from Forrester, is the change that is coming to IoT services in 2018. There is a wide range of different offerings out there, providing different capabilities – to design, integrate, and operate IoT systems – to different users. Those users, of course, all have different needs, which are what is going to drive realignment among the providers of those platforms, which include AWS IoT, Azure IoT, and GE Predix. However, security remains an issue.
IoT creates opportunities for micro data centers. Increasingly becoming relevant for many enterprises as IoT endpoints, they are expected to grow at a 33 percent compound annual growth rate from 2015 through 2020, reaching an installed base of 20.4 billion units, according to a Gartner study. Upcoming 5G implementations will further promote edge deployments of data center infrastructure, as they will enable deployments that were previously impractical due to bandwidth constraints. To support the distributed nature of IoT workloads, new types of data center infrastructures are emerging (such as edge computing) as well as new data center architectures that handle more flexible and scalable use cases.
A micro data center is modular or containerized. It is also smaller than a computer room – usually no more than a rack of equipment or two – and typically one rack or less. All required IT functionalities, such as uninterruptible power supply, servers, storage, networking, and cooling are contained in the MDC, designed to handle specific needs (for example, accumulating sensor data or small remote office support) at distributed locations and typically managed remotely from a large data center.
The figure illustrates how edge data centers reside between IoT endpoints and regular data centers. The necessity to analyze large volumes of data close to the source to avoid low latency is creating more needs for the edge and MDC. This deployment model works particularly better in remote locations with limited bandwidth and/or spaces (such as warehouses, retail locations, or cargo ships).
Increased IoT workloads are boosting micro data centers’ needs. MDCs, housing usually no more than a rack or two of equipment, are increasingly used for IoT workloads and digital business transformation. Although these workloads are rapidly increasing, it is hard to change existing data center facilities in a short time. A rack level solution with containerized data centers that MDC provides enables organizations to implement IoT applications quickly, save a footprint, and reduce power consumption. This is an interesting reverse trend where data centers have been consolidated with hyperscale data centers, while the number of smaller data centers will go up due to the rise of IoT workloads. These smaller data centers are expected to augment traditional data centers.
IoT workloads are different from traditional data center workloads because they can involve massive datasets (such as data from sensors) that often need to be processed locally due to low-latency sensitivity.
Many enterprises increasingly need to deal with IoT workloads, although it largely depends on their nature of business. To handle these emerging tasks, they are asking for preintegrated modular data centers that enable to develop and deliver data center environments without the need of a dedicated building or server room. These data centers need to be easily moved to and operated at any place.
Micro data centers have evolved from modular data center solutions. MDCs are standard, repeatable designs that deliver compute, storage, and networking capabilities to remote sites. Additionally, they provide simplified management and high levels of security and reliability via standardization and pre-delivered factory testing. Standardized or completely engineered to order, most MDC infrastructure solutions include the physical enclosure, UPS, power distribution unit (PDU), cooling, software, environmental monitoring, and security. MDC solutions have evolved from modular data center solutions that follow the standard, repeatable design approach and extend to larger form factors, including data center containers and larger modules.
MDCs are designed to house data center infrastructure in remote locations and facilitate the management, control, and efficiency of that infrastructure. The location flexibility facilitates placement of these MDCs to reduce latency and offer a small set of infrastructure required in some situations such as ROBOs.
As carriers move to 5G implementations and growing trends such as IoT push for lower latencies, edge deployments of data center infrastructure will become more prominent. These edge deployments will require efficient ways to securely house and manage the data center infrastructure used in these edge situations. MDCs offer an effective solution to meet that edge infrastructure needs.
As integrated systems and hyperconverged integrated systems (HCISs) continue to grow in remote and edge implementations, those systems will find their way into more MDCs. MDCs are likely to evolve to provide increasing efficiency in space, power, cooling, and management for specific integrated systems and HCIS offerings to optimize their cost-efficiencies and ROI for end users. Both physical packaging and central management capability are critical for MDC in IoT uses.
Moving Toward Hyperconverged Hardware
If current trends hold, it will not be long before data center infrastructure will consist of hyperconverged hardware. And while there will undoubtedly be many ways to configure this technology, it will generally include ultra-dense compute/storage modules outfitted with solid-state memory connected by advanced network fabrics.
Enterprises too are shifting storage investments from legacy architectures to software-defined systems in an effort to achieve greater agility, easier provisioning, and lower administrative costs. Hyperconverged systems – which combine storage, compute, and network functionality in a single virtualized solution – are on their radars.
The largest segment of software-defined storage is hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), which boasts a five-year CAGR of 26.6 percent, and revenues that are forecast to hit USD 7.15 billion in 2021, according to research firm IDC.
“HCI is the fastest growing market of all the multi-billion-dollar storage segments,” says Eric Burgener, research director for storage at IDC.
Ease of expansion is a key driver of HCI adoption. “When your business grows and it’s time to expand, you just buy an x86 server with some additional storage in it, you connect it to the rest of the hyperconverged infrastructure, and the software handles all of the load balancing,” Burgener says. “ It is very easy to do that, and it is a single purchase.”
HCI systems were initially targeted at virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and other general-purpose workloads with fairly predictable resource requirements. Over time they have grown from being specialty solutions for VDI into generally scalable platforms for databases, commercial applications, collaboration, file and print services, and more.
Small and midsize enterprises have driven most of the adoption of hyperconverged systems, but that may be changing as the technology matures. One development that’s getting the attention of large enterprises is the ability to independently scale the compute and storage capacity, Burgener says.
“One of the disadvantages of hyperconverged infrastructure, because you buy it all as a single node, is that you really cannot adjust the amount of performance you need versus the amount of capacity,” he says. If there’s a performance mismatch, it’s often not relevant in a smaller environment. But in a large environment, a company might wind up spending a lot more on the processing component that it did not want, just to get the capacity that it needs.
The solution is to allow companies to shift their HCI deployment to a disaggregated model, without having to do a data migration, as workloads require it.
“In larger environments, it is very attractive to be able to independently scale the compute and storage capacity,” Burgener say. With a disaggregated model, “if you have a workload that needs a lot more storage but doesn’t need a lot more performance, then you don’t end up paying for CPUs to get the storage capacity that you need.”
“One of things you’re going to see from vendors in 2018 is that they will allow customers to configure their hyperconverged plays either as a true hyperconverged model or as a disaggregated storage model,” he says. “As customers grow larger, they don’t want to lose those guys.”
NVMe over fabrics. A second big development in the HCI world is the ability to create a hyperconverged solution using NVMe over fabrics. Most HCI systems today connect the cluster nodes over Ethernet, which creates a data locality issue as enterprises try to grow their HCI environments. “This is one reason why people don’t buy hyperconverged: When the data set is too big to fit in a single node, and you have to go out to another node to access data, that introduces pretty significant latency,” Burgener says.
Looking ahead, the low latency and high throughput of NVMe over fabrics could vastly improve that issue.
Two reasons why large enterprises did not like to buy HCI in the past are now being addressed with this disaggregated option and NVMe over fabric, which means the larger data set environment could actually be run on this architecture more effectively.
Hybrid Cloud Services Set to Surge in 2018
Cloud vendors’ services partners are likely to play an increasingly critical role in the successful implementation of hybrid solutions and, more broadly, hybrid cloud environments for end customers in the coming year, according to analyst firm, Technology Business Research (TBR).
According to TBR cloud and software practices practice manager, Allan Krans, this expected increased reliance on partners is largely due to the anticipation that hybrid cloud and hybrid IT management tools will take on greater importance in 2018.
“Although cloud has simplified much of the technical complexity of traditional IT for customers, hybrid implementations return it,” Krans said in a paper prepared for TBR’s 2018 Predictions series.
“Management headaches related to cloud implementations have been growing as the scale and scope of solutions expands, and integration across clouds and on-premises environments undoubtedly magnifies these challenges. So, while the desire for solutions that can be portable, fully integrated and flexibly delivered has never been higher, the management of workloads being implemented into sprawling hybrid environments will remain the bottleneck for how much additional hybrid adoption will occur in 2018,” he said.
According to Krans, in addition to driving innovation at the tools and platforms level, hybrid infrastructure will also increase demand for services engagements.
This is where opportunities for partners arise, Krans suggests.
“The skills needed to deploy and manage hybrid solutions, from technology and complexity perspectives, are distinct issues that customers need to address as part of their hybrid implementations,” he said.
“Customers not only have to grapple with how to manage and control cloud solutions within their organizations, but they also have to manage cloud solutions at scale and during integration with other IT assets. For these reasons, cloud vendors, and more importantly, their services partners, will play a critical role in the successful implementations of hybrid solutions and broader hybrid environments for their joint end customers,” he said.
In addition to a surging demand for hybrid cloud
services from partners next year, Krans flagged a number of other trends that are likely to hit the IT landscape in 2018.
Among his predictions is that the changing profile of the end cloud buyer will impact the types of services delivery methods and vendors selected for cloud engagements.
Specifically, much larger and more diverse sets of decision makers will be required to facilitate cloud business value versus just the technical or financial benefit, Krans suggested. This, in turn is likely to see integration across functions, delivery methods and stakeholders determine cloud success in 2018.
“Like all market trend changes, the one that will play out is grounded and driven by the customers who commit real dollars into products and services being offered in the market,” Krans said.
“The shift toward a business focus for cloud investments will be illustrated by changes in who is involved in decisions, the process for making decisions, and the objectives for the ultimate solutions. Essentially, expect changes in nearly every dynamic within cloud buying in 2018,” he said.
Meanwhile, Krans also forecasts further consolidation in the cloud vendor landscape next year, albeit as the cloud market itself sees more fragmented areas.
According to the analyst, this dual dynamic will be driven by a shift from cloud delivery itself to management and applications that add value.
It is likely to result in fewer vendors delivering core cloud services, while more will add vertical functional or management skills on top of solutions offered by leading cloud providers.
“There will be interesting developments in areas of cloud that have more room for differentiation, cloud applications, and professional services for cloud and hybrid environments,” Krans said.
“As platform vendors such as Google look to make cloud services available in environments outside traditionally hosted offerings and other platform leaders win market share on stark functionality differences, we expect to see applications vendors embrace a multi-platform partner approach, like Apttus has done with Salesforce and Microsoft,” he said.
Trends in Data Storage 2018
Hot data storage technology trends for 2018 include predictive storage analytics, ransomware protection, converged secondary storage, multi-cloud, and NVMe over Fabrics.
Predictive storage analytics has morphed from being a specialized feature to a red-hot storage technology. Fueling its rise is the prominence of all-flash arrays and growing demand for real-time intelligence about storage capacity and performance.
It transcends traditional hierarchical storage management or resource monitoring. The goal is to harness and parlay vast amounts of data into operational analytics to guide strategic decision-making.
Predictive analytics lets storage and network-monitoring vendors continuously capture millions of data points in the cloud from customer arrays deployed in the field. They correlate the storage metrics to monitor the behavior of virtual storage running on physical targets.
Typically, predictive analytics can pinpoint potential problems, such as defective cables, drives, and network cards. If hardware issues are detected, the software sends alerts and recommends troubleshooting. An at-a-glance console provides an integrated view across the infrastructure stack, letting customers apply recommendations with a single click.
Aside from monitoring hardware, array-based analytics tools have matured to provide cache, CPU, and storage-sizing recommendations based on preselected policies.
The importance of predictive storage analytics won’t wane anytime soon. Big data deployments are no longer a curiosity, having matured to the point that companies in almost every industry could deploy a DevOps model. The ability to rapidly compute massive data sets at the network edge is credited with helping organizations wring more business value from flash storage infrastructure.
Ransomware has made big news in the last couple of years. While global attacks – such as WannaCry in May and Petya and NotPetya in June – garner the most coverage, smaller-scale ransomware can be just as crippling for victims. While many organizations are not paying the ransom, downtime can be even worse than making a payment. Fortunately, ransomware protection from backup and recovery vendors is now a hot technology and one of the trends in data storage 2018 to watch.
Converged secondary storage. The expansion of hyper-convergence into secondary storage is a natural next step for the technology. Secondary storage’s rise started gradually, with a handful of vendors taking notice. Now we expect to see converged secondary storage taking up more space and getting more buzz in the coming year.
Many organizations are putting greater emphasis on secondary storage to reclaim much-needed primary storage capacity. Secondary storage frees up primary storage, while leaving the data more accessible than archive storage. It also lets organizations continue to gain value from older data or data that isn’t mission-critical.
With more vendors getting in on the action and more emphasis than ever on secondary storage, converged secondary storage should have a big year as one of the key trends in data storage for 2018.
Multi-cloud storage is one of the latest amorphous technology terms to capture the imaginations of industry experts. It is poised to become one of the hot technology trends in 2018 as more enterprises that have adopted the cloud – whether in a hybrid or pure public configuration – are demanding the cloud provide true IT services capabilities.
The benefits of multi-cloud storage are hard to ignore. There’s data portability among heterogeneous clouds, easier lifting and shifting of applications among multiple cloud environments, better data availability and disaster recovery, and the ability to bridge
data services between private and public clouds. Also, you can set enterprise data services more consistently and colocate them with applications and compute resources.
However, multi-cloud storage still has its share of challenges. Moving data in and out of clouds is more complicated than moving it across on-premises systems, and managing data stored in different clouds requires a new approach.
Several vendors already offer a genuine multi-cloud primary storage concept based on software-defined storage (SDS). These include Hedvig, Qumulo, Scality, SoftNAS, and SwiftStack. Scality’s multi-cloud software is built on object storage with Amazon S3 compatibility, while also offering some file capabilities. SDS offerings from SoftNAS and Qumulo are focused on cloud file, while Hedvig provides block, file, and object storage. SwiftStack is object storage only.
NVMe over fabrics. Performance-boosting, latency-lowering, nonvolatile memory express is already one of the hot technology trends in SSDs that use a host computer’s PCI Express bus. Moving into 2018, the revenue stream for NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) should start to grow, making it one of the significant trends in data storage. Significant deployments are expected follow in 2019 and beyond, according to industry analysts.
G2M predicted the NVMe market will hit USD 60 billion by 2021, with revenue from SSDs; adapters; enterprise storage arrays and appliances; and enterprise servers, including some loaded with SDS designed for use with NVMe. G2M’s research projected most enterprise servers will be NVMe-enabled by 2019, and more than 70 percent of all-flash arrays will be NVMe-based by 2020. Shipments of NVMe-oF adapters will surpass 1.5 million units by 2021, with 10 percent of them “accelerated,” according to G2M.
The main use case for early NVMe-oF-based products has been real-time big data analytics applications. IDC predicted that 60 percent to 70 percent of Fortune 2000 organizations will have at least one real-time, big data analytics workload by 2020. Certain high-end databases requiring low latency could also generate interest in NVMe-oF, as could vendors pushing denser workload consolidation.
Data Center Cooling Market Set to Explode over the Next Couple of Years
Operators want greener, cheaper, more efficient systems, but they do not want to pay for them.
The data center cooling market is set to reach USD 20 billion by 2024, according to research by Global Market Insights.
Hot and cold aisle containment, blanking panels (to be placed in unused rack spaces to avoid the recirculation of hot air), close coupled cooling (meaning it is precise and offers modularity at rack-level) are recognized as means of improving efficiency in the data center, where approximately 40 percent of energy consumption is attributed to cooling systems.
As well as requiring more cost-effective systems, operators increasingly wish to take visible steps to reduce data centers’ environmental impact, something the study said will be a significant growth driver in the sector. On the other hand, cost of manufacturing, installing, and maintaining equipment is expected to hinder sales of new systems.
The North America region led the way for investment in new cooling technologies in 2016, the study said, driven by hyperscalers such as Google and Facebook, as well as new ASHRAE temperature and humidity guidelines, which saw operators replacing legacy systems in favor of compliant ones. This trend will continue into the 2020s, it stated.
Schneider Electric, Black Box, Nortek Air Solutions, LLC, Airedale International Air Conditioning, Rittal, and AdaptivCOOL are expected to be at the forefront of the cooling market between now and 2024.

I’ve read over and over again that natural reeds are failing in quality and are inconsistent within a box let alone between boxes. To test this I purchased some Hemke #4 reeds to use on my Yamaha 5C mouthpiece. This piece is my go to piece for classical practice and chamber work. I really like how dark the tone gets as well as how locked in the intonation is when pared with my YBS-61.
On first examination I found that the heel of each reed is not symmetrical. The left and right sides of the heel end have a wide amount of variability. If you look closely you can see that the individual heels are different thicknesses. This could be due to the reed blank shifting or not secured as tightly as it should have been on the planing machine Effect on the reed?
My second point of consideration is the file mark and the shoulder. As seen below the file marks are all straight and are the same height. The shoulders are quite the telling characteristic. The shoulders are not cut evenly. The desired rounded “V” or “U” shape made by reed profiler is not centered an any reed but the center one. Some reeds are cut slightly left or right of the center line.
The offset shoulder cut directly effects the shape of the vamp; the area from the file mark to the reed tip. i marked in the image below the point at which the reeds shoulder cut ends at the rails. Ideally this would be even left to right on each reed even if not even between reeds. As you can see below, the rails begin in very different areas on the same reed. Will this effect playability?
The next thing I examine is the heart’s shape. Does it have that familiar chevron shape? Unfortunately I was unable to take pictures that would show the heart shapes but the reeds with the best defined heart which terminated before the end of the reed was reed 3 and 5. This I know will effect playability.
Lastly I inspect the reeds tip for warping, splits, or any other damage. Unfortunately I did not have my calipers available to measure the tips for comparison.All reeds had well formed tips with no raggedness or obvious imperfections.

How fake vaccines are detrimental to public health
Trailing closely behind any radical innovation is a rash of imitators, thieves and fraudsters – a sad fact of life to which the medical sector is not immune. The dangers posed by the fake vaccine market add another alarming dimension to an already immensely complex global health crisis.
Intellectual Property (IP) infringement and counterfeiting have long been of grave concern to those in the pharmaceutical industry as well as public health officials around the world. As we enter the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic amid the spread of the Omicron variant, the newest prominent strain and perhaps the most contagious to date, the proliferation of fake COVID vaccines puts countless lives at risk. Individuals planning to get vaccinated or boosted — not to mention health care professionals, drug manufacturers and IP experts — must be fully cognizant of this threat to public health.
The spread of fake vaccinations
It is not exactly surprising that a trade in counterfeit COVID vaccines emerged early in 2021 after vaccines by Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca and other drugmakers became available. After all, counterfeit medicines and treatments have existed for centuries. Of course, we distinguish here between unscientific therapeutics, superstitious remedies and other nostra, on the one hand, and quackery and deliberately fraudulent presentations of proven treatments, on the other. For instance, the antiquated practice of drilling a hole in the skull to relieve headaches was often conducted in good faith and the genuine, though misguided, belief of its salubrious effects.
For a historical example of knowing fraud, we can look to the rampant misrepresentation of cinchona bark in the 17th century after it was identified as a remedy for malaria. But even this instance significantly predates the first true vaccine, which was developed by Edward Jenner in 1796 to combat smallpox. For the unscrupulous, crisis brings opportunity, and the ongoing pandemic is a disaster of incredible scale. That said, just because bad medical actors have been around for as long as medicine itself does not mean that their actions should be ignored.
Although counterfeit vaccine and medicine markets exist across the globe, they are particularly common in the developing world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 10% of the medicines and other medical products – including vaccines – circulating in low- and middle-income countries are either fake or substandard. Though the WHO only began tracking the presence and spread of falsified and substandard vaccines in 2013, the international organization has since trained 550 regulators to detect and report these fakes. This information can then direct national and international law enforcement agencies against perpetrators and allow health systems to ensure the delivery of effective medicines.
The first WHO alert of a falsified COVID-19 vaccine was issued on March 26, 2021, after officials in Mexico confirmed suspicious medicine labeled as Pfizer's vaccine to be counterfeit. Mexico, a nation long saddled with illicit trade in medical products, has latterly become host to a massive black market for fake COVID treatments. It is not, however, the only victim.
Since early 2021, the fraudulent coronavirus vaccine market has spread worldwide:
- After breaking up a smuggling ring early last year, China has prioritized tracking down counterfeit versions of its Sinopharm vaccine.
- Interpol stopped a vaccine counterfeiting operation that had spread across 10 countries in southern Africa: Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
- Poland, Iran, Uganda, India and Myanmar have all reported counterfeit vaccines within their borders.
- A nurse in Ancona, Italy, was arrested on January 12, 2022, for staging fake COVID-19 vaccination appointments.
- Corrupt doctors in Israel and the United States have been caught selling used vials of real vaccines to scam artists.
These are just a few of the major incidents authorities have uncovered so far. Still, it is not unreasonable to assume that counterfeit medications are present wherever there are genuine remedies and, sadly, genuine need. Related to this problem, public health and law enforcement officials are also concerned about the distribution of fake vaccine cards – a practice that appeals to unvaccinated individuals who wish to visit restaurants and other public places that mandate their display. France, for example, is a major source of fake COVID vaccination cards.
Fighting against counterfeiters
Those who sell or administer fake COVID vaccination shots violate the law and expose themselves to a broad range of legal repercussions.
In the Italian case, the nurse, together with four alleged accomplices, was charged with embezzlement, corruption and falsifying information rather than with dealing in counterfeit vaccines. Those who do produce or sell such illicit products can be charged under anti-counterfeiting laws specifically addressing falsified medicines and vaccines such as the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act in the United States or France's Public Health, Customs, Intellectual Property and Consumers Codes.
The penalties for violating anti-counterfeiting laws like these vary. For example, the U.S. drug counterfeiting law stipulates up to ten years' imprisonment, a substantial fine, or both. In practice, since additional charges, like racketeering or mail fraud, may also apply in such cases, the total sentence and fine could be even higher. In France, the Customs Code alone mandates three to five years' imprisonment and a fine between €300,000 and €500,000 for individuals who commit IP infringement. Adding further penalties from the Public Health Code, IP Code and Criminal Code could result in even stiffer sanctions. Last but not least, civil suits for patent or trademark infringement are all but guaranteed.
A threat to IP and health
Over the last two years, there has been passionate debate regarding the voluntary release of COVID-19 vaccine patents. Proponents – including the United States, Russia and China – believe it could significantly reduce the death toll in the poorest nations, where access to vaccines lags far behind that in wealthier countries, while those opposed believe that temporarily waiving IP rights could hamper innovation.
Of course, no such argument exists regarding the criminalization of counterfeiting. Fake vaccines necessarily limit the ability of pharmaceutical companies to monetize their IP and recoup the costs of research and testing. It goes without saying that this loss of revenue is detrimental to maintaining a reasonable pace of innovation in the long run. Most disturbingly, these fake treatments put lives at risk. Unregulated, potentially dangerous substances may be used in their manufacture, and even if the phony vaccines are made of inert ingredients, they provide no protection against COVID-19 and can even promote the virus' spread by creating a false sense of security.
The harm that could come to your brand and – most importantly – your customers due to pharmaceutical counterfeits is too great a risk to ignore. Stop your IP from being violated in France with the help of Dennemeyer's French desk. In conjunction with our global partner network, our Paris office can devise an individualized IP management and protection strategy that suits your unique needs to promote your organization's health and success.

What is the Meta Doctor?
The Webos Internals Meta Doctor is a Makefile which can modify a copy of the Palm webOS Doctor to bypass the "First Use" application and allow the phone to run without having been activated on a cell network. It accomplishes this by reaching into Palm's distributed Doctor JAR file and making changes to it. It can prevent the first use app from running, as well as applying other tweaks to the OS.
Documentation for the features that the MetaDoctor offers is at the top of the Makefile (you find out where that is later).
Step 1: Setting up Meta-Doctor
NOTE THAT USING CYGWIN ON WINDOWS IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED AND WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE FAIL TO BOOT
Windows users can use the meta doctor without harming your current installation of windows using simple Ubuntu installer called WUBI. Also no need for moding any partitions or installing any boot loaders. It will just appear as program in your installed software list and when you do not want it anymore simply uninstall it while in windows through Control Panel. It is easy and there is no virtual machine headaches of trying to configure USB, Network and File sharing with host computer... To access it you just reboot and choose Ubuntu from dual boot screen.
- Download Ubuntu 11.04, look for the Ubuntu Desktop Edition, not the Windows Installer
- Burn that file to a cd or mount to virtual drive
- Run cd in windows (the wubi.exe file inside the disk, it also comes up in auto run) - Don't boot your machine with the CD (called as using the LiveCD, as this option won't give you enough space for the MetaDoctor process to complete.
- Click on Install Inside windows.
- This will install Ubuntu while running Windows without the need of making a partition I would recomand making the install image the full recommended 30 gigs if you have the hard drive space and think you are interested in actually using the Ubuntu OS, otherwise the minimum recommended by Wubi should be just fine.
- Restart your computer and you can dual boot to Windows or Ubuntu
The nice thing about this is that it will allow you to uninstall Ubuntu right from Windows as if it was never there and remove the dual boot, not to mention the fact you do not need to partition your drive.
If you are still wondering what Wubi is the fallowing link should explain it to you better. Wubi Guide
Once you have installed WUBI, you should follow the instructions in the Linux section below.
- Open terminal from the ( Applications > Accessories ) menu.
- Update your package lists and install git and Java runtime (the Canonical Partner Repository is needed to install the Sun Java JRE because it was moved out of the Multiverse in Ubuntu 10.04). Type:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jreIf the java install fails, look for support on the Java website here. If you receive an error about git, repeat the command using git-core instead.
- Download and install the Palm Novacom software: 32-bit or 64-bit. If you have trouble installing, you can find more information here.
- Download the meta-doctor scripts using git. Type:
git clone git://webos-internals.org/tools/meta-doctor.git
- Navigate to the meta-doctor directory.
- Create a downloads directory. Type:
Mac OS X 10.6
- Install MacPorts first, which will allow us to easily install the necessary packages for MetaDoctor. . Please note that MacPorts requires Apple's Xcode Developer Tools (version 3.2.1 or later for Snow Leopard, 3.1.4 or later for Leopard, or 2.5 for Tiger), found at the Apple Developer Connection site or on your Mac OS X installation CDs/DVD.
- Install md5sum:
sudo port install md5sha1sum
- Install gnutar:
sudo port install gnutar
- Install git:
sudo port install git-core
- Install wget:
sudo port install wget
- Now type:
git clone git://webos-internals.org/tools/meta-doctor.git
- Install patch:
sudo port install gpatch
- If you do not have Java installed, do so. To install Java, click on the "Apple" icon and select "Software Update." This will automatically update you to the latest version of Java if necessary, as Apple supplies their own version of Java. Further instructions can be found here.
- Download and install the Palm Novacom software from http://developer.palm.com. The Mac OS X SDK is located here.
- Open a terminal and navigate to the meta-doctor directory where the meta-doctor was copied to in step 6 above.
- Ensure that there is a downloads directory. If there is not one, create one using
Step 2: Running the webOS Doctor
Note that if you are following a procedure on another wiki page which only requires the installation of the MetaDoctor and then tells you to return to that other page, then this is the place at which you should return.
If you intend to enable WIFI Profiles, you must copy a file off of the phone before doctoring. See the section below on enabling wifi profiles.
- Navigate to the meta-doctor directory in the terminal
- Download the latest webosdoctor file using the download paths found at Webos Doctor Versions .The wr version is the French,German,Irish,Spanish and UK GSM version. An example (i.e. will not work, you need to look for the latest URL) download command would be:
- Rename the file that you download to include the version number for future reference (examples: webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-18.104.22.168.jar, webosdoctorp100eww-wr-1.1.3.jar, or webosdoctorp100ewwbellmo-1.2.1.jar). An example (i.e. will not work, you need to work out the filename based on the URL you used to download it) command to do that would be:
mv webosdoctorp100ewwbellmo.jar webosdoctorp100ewwbellmo-22.214.171.124.jar
- If you would like Meta-Doctor to apply patches to webOS in order to add or change functionality from the factory install, open the Makefile with your favorite text editor and uncomment (remove the leading # characters from) the options you would like to use.
- Before doing the next step, make sure you change back into the meta-doctor directory first. All the following commands must be run from the meta-doctor directory.
- Type one of the following:
make DEVICE=pre all-wr
make DEVICE=preplus all-wr
make DEVICE=pixiplus all-wr
make DEVICE=pre all-sprint
make DEVICE=pixi all-sprint
make DEVICE=pre all-bellmo
make DEVICE=pre all-telcel
make DEVICE=preplus all-verizonwireless
make DEVICE=pixiplus all-verizonwireless
make DEVICE=preplus all-att
make DEVICE=pixiplus all-att
- depending on the carrier in question.
Note : use make DEVICE=palm_smartphone_type all-wr for O2 Germany, UK and Ireland / Movistar Spain / SFR France
This should begin a process within the terminal that should take 10 minutes max.
If an error message appears with unknown in a file name, check the file rename in step 8 above.
If the build fails
If the make command fails, you can use
to clean up the build directory. After this you can re-run the command.
The updated doctor version has the same name as the original, but is in a new folder: meta-doctor/build/pre-p100eww-sprint-126.96.36.199/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-188.8.131.52.jar.
If you are running in Ubuntu or Cygwin, you can just run the new jar file now.
If you are running Ubuntu using VM, you will need to copy the new jar out of the VM into your live desktop to run the jar in your native OS.
CD to the folder where your new jar file is, and type something like:
java -jar webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-184.108.40.206.jar
If you were using a VM or some other virtual method, you will need to copy the jar file out to your main operating system before running it.
Mac OSX host:
- NOTE: this only applies to WUBI Users
You should be able to run the JAR as if you had Linux installed natively because in a sense you do (as long as Java is installed and you run the Jar using Java) but if you rather run it in windows
Using terminal the following command in a Wubi installation of Ubuntu will copy the JAR file to the host Windows OS :
cp /meta-doctor/build/pre-p100eww-sprint-1.2.1/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-1.2.1.jar /host/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-1.2.1.jar
This will place the Jar either in your Windows C:\ drive or whatever drive you installed Wubi to.
Once the Doctor is running
- Select your language
- Accept the license agreement
- Connect your Pre to your PC via USB and select "Next" when it becomes available
After completion the device will reboot and present you with the activation set-up.
If your PC does not recognize your Pre and you cannot go past step 3 above, try the following steps:
- With the USB cable connected, completely power off the Pre (hold down the power button until the option to power off appears)
- Hold down the Up button on the volume rocker
- While holding the Up button, power on the Pre
- "Next" should now be enabled - proceed with the recovery
The above steps will put the Pre into bootloader recovery mode and should allow the PC to recognize your device and proceed with the restore. In this mode the screen will display a giant USB logo instead of the usual Palm startup logo.
When the process finishes, the Pre will reboot and your new modified image will have been installed.
After the doctor completes, you will need to run the "First Run" application. To do this, you will need an active internet connection. Either WiFi or Cellular. If you do not have WiFi and cannot connect to the Palm Profile servers, you might have a problem with your programming. This Meta Doctor (or webOS Doctor in general) could possibly erase the modem's programming. To resolve you will need to perform the following steps:
Note: This has only been confirmed to resolve Sprint CDMA issues, YMMV.
Note 2: You should try to update your profile first. Open the phone app, open the App Menu and select Preferences then select Update Network Settings. If you get an error, then procede with these instructions.
- 1. Open the Phone App.
- 2. Enter ##MSL# (MSL= 6 digit lock code. Get this from Sprint.)
- 3. Verify your MDN and MSID are incorrect. If they are incorrect, continue. If they are correct, this is not your problem and you should not continue.
- 4. Select Edit.
- 5. Select the first box (MDN) and enter your 10-digit cellular number.
- 6. Select the second box (MSID) and enter your 10-digit MSID (Get this from Sprint).
- 7. Select Save.
- 8. Backswipe out of the the view.
- 9. You should now be able to open complete Note 2 above without any errors.
You should now be able to run the First Use application without any problems.
If the Doctor will not run
Go here if you have further problems connecting your Pre to the running Meta'ed Doctor.
Clarification for Linux beginners on where to place the prefsDB.sl file, per instructions in the makefile. Steps: 1. Open makefile using a text editor (like WordPad) and use the instructions there to retrieve your prefsDB.sl file from your device. Save it somewhere convenient on your host machine (aka, computer). 2. Navigate to the meta-doctor directory and create the config directory: mkdir -p config 3. Rename your prefsDB.sl file to com.palm.wifi.prefsDB.sl 4. Put com.palm.wifi.prefsDB.sl in the config directory. 5. Continue following instructions in the makefile.
How to enable WIFI profiles
To enable wifi profiles it is necessary to copy your wifi profile file off of your phone and place this in a directory, as well as enable the wifi profile option in the makefile.
- Move to the meta-doctor directory (cd meta-doctor)
- Create a "config" folder in the meta-doctor directory (mkdir config)
- Copy the prefsDB.sl file off of your phone from the var/preferences/com.palm.wifi/ and into the "config" directory that you just created.
- Rename this file "com.palm.wifi.prefsDB.sl" without the quotes
- Open the makefile (which is in the meta-doctor directory) and remove the "#" from the line "# INSTALL_WIFI_PROFILES = 1". Save the makefile.
- Build the custom doctor by running the script, or otherwise building it.
On launch of the new doctor your wifi profile should automatically connect, but only if you had previously connected to the WIFI network you are trying to use.
How to change a provider's DB-entry so 3G data can be used on the Pre
This post and this thread describe various ways to adjust the provider's data base in the Pre, so the 3G datacom works on non-supported networks. webOS 1.3.1 allows setting of the providers data directly from the activation screen for providers that are present in the DB. Some report that they are not able to do that and that they cannot get 3G datacom working on 1.3.1
Problems with Novacom
If you are Running a new Distro, like Archlinux, you could run into problem with novacom while trying to connect your pre. Running novacomd on the command line could provide further information. This may be a problem with libusb. Get a older version like described in this thread.
How to Install webOS 2.x on "unoffical" Devices
With the release of the O2-DE webOS Doctor, efforts have been made to apply the techniques of MetaDoctor and create a custom doctor to apply 2.1.0 to devices that it was not been officially released for. For those not faint of heart, a step-by-step can be found at the following: WebOS 2 Upgrade

I tried the semaphore route & it worked…until it didn’t. It seems like Swift Concurrency creates only one thread per system processor core and once you have every core blocked waiting for your async work, your app is deadlocked.
The cooperative thread pool has many threads as there are cores. Ideally, they kernel-mode context switching of the threads is minimal, and all the work is done by user-mode context switching of Tasks, which is much much much faster.
For that to work though, it's imperative that your async code never blocks. If you need to call legacy code that blocks, then you should spin that off in a separate thread using all the existing techniques (e.g. a dispatch queue), and using a continuation to signal the completion of its work.
Also, isn't that Task initializer creating a new task which will always use the cooperative thread pool? It's been a while and IDR when that thread pool is or isn't used, I need to re-watch that video xD
This is the feature I’m referencing, it’s only a marker to prevent you from calling it from an async context but it’s new to 5.7. You can leave it off assuming you’re already doing that checking yourself.

What is EZmix2?
The hardest part of music production is mixing and mastering. All your recording work is pointless if the song is not correctly mixed or mastered. But since it is not only a skill, but almost an art that requires a lot of knowledge and experience, it is almost impossible to do it right. Especially if you are one of these people who do not record music on a regular basis. Changing EQ’s and applying effects can make your recording worse if you don’t know what you are doing.
And there comes EZmix2!
Ezmix2 is a box full of different signal chains. You might ask: “But what is a signal chain?”
Let’s say you want to record an electric guitar track for a rock song. The first thing you’ll do is set up an amp to use its distortion. The clean guitar sound is going through the distortion unit of your amp and comes out as a distorted guitar sound. The distorted guitar track sounds already awesome, but you might want to add your favorite overdrive pedal between guitar output and amp input, to add some drive. The guitar signal is basically changed 2 times, first through the pedal and secondly through the amp signal. You basically built an analog signal chain out of those 2 units.
A signal chain is only changing the audio signal of any instrument. Components like Compressors, distortion, room effects, specific EQ setting and so on, can all be part of a specific signal chain. Now assume you have a really good and expensive guitar amp which delivers an awesome sound. A good sound engineer can emulate this sound and basically replicate it digitally. So instead of plugging the guitar into an amp, you plug it directly into your recording interface and apply for example a metal guitar amp sound, out of the EZmix2 Metal Gods expansion pack to your track. The digital sound is exactly the same as your real amp sound.
Your second track will be the bass, but as you might not have a bass amp, you just select a digital amp out of EZmix2.
The drum track you recorded (no matter if acoustic or digital drums) lacks on a strong kick drum sound. It sounds too soft and you can barely hear it. You will do the same here, insert a punchy kick drum EQ from EZmix2 to your bass drum track and there you go.
The Vocals need some echo and should be a bit brighter. You just need to select 2 different signal chains for the same vocal track from EZmix2.
As soon as you do with the mixing, by applying different EZmix2 presets and setting the volume levels, you can export the song or set up a mastering track. Here you do the same. You just apply one of EZmix2 Mastering presets.
Ezmix2 is a plugin and can only be used within a recording software. I tried it with an old version of Cubase, Garageband and Reaper. You just open it in the effect menu on your track.
The EZmix2 basic pack comes with 350 different amp simulations and effects of the most common instruments. And it can of course be expanded with many specific expansion packs. Such as Bass Toolbox, Metal guitar Gods or Mastering 2.
I would recommend buying EZmix2 as a bundle, either directly from Toontrack or of Thomann. Toontrack offers a direct download, Thomann sends the actual box including download codes. I purposely decided for Thomann, since the EZmix 2 + 6 Cards Bundle keeps you flexible in choice. You get 6 additional codes for expansion packs and it is your choice which one you want to add. Toontrack however, has predetermined bundles.
I only chose 3 so far and will get the others as needed. The installation and setup is easy and depends mostly on the DAW you are using.
The EZmix2 interface is as simple as it could be. You have your effect library and can search by category. Every effect can be modified by the 2 big knobs at the bottom. The input/output volume can be changed by the small knobs on top. It could not be easier.
The result and the quality
I tried to remix some of my old recordings and was overwhelmed. Within a really short time, I was able to make them sound awesome. I already have my favorite signal chains and use them over and over again.
This plugin was the missing piece in my small home recording studio and it is well worth its money. I can recommend it to anyone who is recording at home or even professionally. And if you are unsure, just download the demo version before buying it.

Bosses from the world’s two biggest plane makers have called on the US government to delay the rollout of new 5G phone services.
In a letter, top executives at Boeing and Airbus warned that the technology could have “an enormous negative impact on the aviation industry.”
Concerns have previously been raised that C-Band spectrum 5G wireless could interfere with aircraft electronics.
US telecoms giants AT&T and Verizon are due to deploy 5G services on 5 January.
“5G interference could adversely affect the ability of aircraft to safely operate,” said the bosses of Boeing and Airbus Americas, Dave Calhoun and Jeffrey Knittel, in a joint letter to US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The letter cited research by trade group Airlines for America which found that if the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) 5G rules had been in effect in 2019, about 345,000 passenger flights and 5,400 cargo flights would have faced delays, diversions or cancellations.
The aviation industry and the FAA have raised concerns about potential interference of 5G with sensitive aircraft equipment like radio altitude meters.
“Airbus and Boeing have been working with other aviation industry stakeholders in the US to understand potential 5G interference with radio altimeters,” Airbus said in a statement.
“An Aviation Safety Proposal to mitigate potential risks has been submitted for consideration to the US Department of Transportation.”
This month, the FAA issued airworthiness directives warning 5G interference could result in flight diversions, saying it would provide more information before the 5 January rollout date.
In November, AT&T and Verizon delayed the commercial launch of C-band wireless service by a month until 5 January and adopted precautionary measures to limit interference.
Aviation industry groups have said the measures did not go far enough, with Boeing and Airbus saying they made a counterproposal that would limit cellular transmissions around airports and other critical areas.
Last week, United Airlines chief executive Scott Kirby said the FAA’s 5G directives would bar the use of radio altitude meters at about 40 of America’s biggest airports.
The US wireless industry group CTIA has said 5G is safe and accused the aviation industry of fearmongering and distorting facts.
“A delay will cause real harm. Pushing back deployment one year would subtract $50bn in economic growth, just as our nation recovers and rebuilds from the pandemic,” CTIA chief executive Meredith Attwell Baker said in a blog post last month.–BBC

This text was copied from Wikipedia on 17 August 2022 at 6:01AM.
He was born in Reims in 1623, the son of Lancelot Nanteuil, a wool merchant of Reims. He studied philosophy in his native Reims but was already an engraver by the time he defended his thesis in 1645. He studied engraving under his brother-in-law, Nicolas Regnesson, whose sister he married in 1646. In 1647 he moved to Paris. His style of drawing was influenced by the painter Philippe de Champaigne, and his engraving, by Claude Mellan and Jean Morin. Around 1650 he became a collaborator and friend of the master engraver Abraham Bosse, who had a strong influence.
His crayon drawings and engraved portraits having attracted attention, by 1652 his work was in high demand. By 1657 he was pensioned by Louis XIV and appointed designer and engraver of the king's cabinet. It was mainly due to his influence that the king granted the edict of 1660, dated from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, by which engraving was pronounced free and distinct from the mechanical arts, and its practitioners were declared entitled to the privileges of other artists. Nanteuil's clientele included the Sun King himself, Cardinal Richelieu, Queen Christina of Sweden and many other high-ranking aristocrats and personages of note. Among the finest works of his fully developed period may be named the portraits of Pompone de Bellièvre, Gilles Ménage, Jean Loret, the Duc de La Meilleraye and the Duchesse de Nemours.
He died at Paris on 9 December 1678.
The plates of Nanteuil, several of them approaching the scale of life, number about three hundred. He drew 155 of his 221 portraits from life. In his early practice he imitated the technique of his predecessors, working with straight lines, strengthened, but not crossed, in the shadows, in the style of Claude Mellan, and in other prints cross-hatching like Regnesson, or stippling in the manner of Jean Boulanger; but he gradually asserted his full individuality, modeling the faces of his portraits with the utmost precision and completeness, and employing various methods of touch for the draperies and other parts of his plates.

One of our favorite annual programs at The National WWII Museum is Garden to Glass. For several years, we’ve partnered with Eat Local New Orleans, a nonprofit dedicated to celebrating New Orleans Food and Drink culture, to bring in bartenders, distilleries, and restaurateurs from across the Crescent City for a single challenge: craft a uniquely tasty drink using only what would have been available in WWII-era Victory Gardens. These items are likely standards in your own kitchen: basil, thyme, tomato, and carrots, but with a boozy twist. And, every year, we have a great time sipping their entries in The American Sector Restaurant & Bar, having some Chef-produced snacks, and voting on our favorites.
But, more importantly, this program allows the Museum to celebrate both the history of rationing and New Orleans bar culture, while collaborating with stalwarts of our community. New Orleans is a place like no other and our food and drink culture is a world unto itself. We love being able to partner with cool organizations like Eat Local New Orleans and the Eat Local Challenge, to do really amazing things.
Our friend, Brynn Comeaux, Marketing Director and Events Coordinator at Eat Local New Orleans, had this to say about our partnership:
“Our annual Garden to Glass Cocktail Contest is one of the most beloved events of the year for participants and organizers alike. It’s been wonderful to see how both The National WWII Museum, The American Sector & Restaurant, and the Eat Local Challenge have evolved. As the Museum has grown, so has the number of local distillers and we have come a long way from our first event on a small patio. In celebration of 10 years of the Eat Local Challenge we look forward to being able to gather again, until then we’re with all of our loyal participants in spirit and in spirits.”
The following recipes are the winners from past Garden to Glass programs. We hope you enjoy (responsibly!).

Monk StrapRumored to have been developed by an Alpine monk in the 15th century and worn in all European monasteries, this style was popularized in the 1920s. Unbeknown to many, a Monk with a strap features the fit and construction similar to a Derby. With open quarters and a full cut upper and tongue, Monk straps (single and double buckle) are extraordinarily comfortable on the foot. However, they won't offer the same level of adjustment, due to the absence of laces.
McKayThe american Lyman Reed Blake invented this stitching method in 1856 right in the middle of the Industrial Revolution while he was trying to reduce time and cost of processing for a large-scale production. Gordon McKay, who became the official supplier of the US Army during the Civil War, has later perfected it. In summary, McKay processing method provides, by using a special machine, a single stitching with simple or double thread, which simultaneously combines upper, lining, insole and sole. This stitching process, recognizable from inside seam that runs through the insole, provides to the shoe greater flexibility and lightness.
Calf Full GrainFull grain leather is, ‘a fine quality material where the leather’s natural pore structure or “grain” is healthy, and is left untouched. This material is tanned with aniline dyes to bring out its natural characteristics and depth of colour when shoes are finisched and polished.
Leather and rubberGenuine vegetable tanned leather in slow pit tanning - fine non-slip rubber applies
Take careFull grain leather care begins with removing any dirt using a soft cloth, followed by the application of a wax of the right color to nourish and protect the leather. Then rub vigorously with the polishing glove to shine it.

8 Steps to Stay Healthy on Your Next Flight
Flying is hard on the body; the food is usually fairly nutritionally vapid, the air quality leaves much to be desired, and sitting in the downright uncomfortable chairs is almost unbearable. Plus, traveling disrupts healthy habits -- which, for most of us, are hard to form and oh so easy to break. The trick is -- as with everything to do with health -- to always brainstorm possible solutions in advance, come up with a plan of action, cultivate mindfulness and own your choices. Instead of looking for excuses, look for solutions!

I wanted to do a piece where I could really become a part of what I was looking at, where the voyeurism that’s inherent in photography could shift over the course of a project. — Liz Cohen
Liz Cohen (b. 1973) is a photographer and performance artist whose decades-long career focuses largely on the intersections of immigration, industry, labor and women’s representation in popular media. Cohen is perhaps best known for her BODYWORK project, in which she simultaneously transformed a dilapidated East German Trabant into an American El Camino lowrider while inhabiting a new identity herself as a car customizer and bikini model. Through this immersive series, Cohen produced a profoundly influential body of work which challenges American cultural norms as they pertain to the eroticization of the automobile industry as well as the challenging role of women’s bodies in that space. Cohen’s most recent series, BODY MAGIC (2020), sees the artist further explore similar themes. In black and white photographs, Cohen poses with the iconic lowrider model Dazza Del Rio in images which make reference to Robert Mapplethorpe’s photographs of the bodybuilder Lisa Lyon.
The artist’s work is currently included in the landmark exhibition, With Eyes Opened: Cranbrook Academy of Art Since 1932, at the Cranbrook Art Museum, Bloomfield Hills (MI) until September, with an accompanying catalogue. In early 2021, Cohen was the subject of a survey retrospective, Body/Magic, at the Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe (AZ).
Recent group exhibitions include Unapologetic: All Women, All Year at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (AZ) in 2020; Stories of Abstraction: Contemporary Latin American Art in the Global Context at the Phoenix Art Museum (AZ) in 2020; and Shapeshifters: Transformations in Contemporary Art at the Cranbrook Art Museum, Bloomfield Hills (MI) in 2020. Cohen’s work was also featured in 2011 at the 54th Venice Biennale. Since 2017, Cohen has served as Associate Professor of the School of Art at Arizona State University, Tempe.
In 2020, Cohen received a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship. Past awards also include the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial Award (2019); the Creative Capital Foundation Project Grant (2005); and a MacDowell Colony Grant (2001).

(o) The content of the object pointed to by o is optional. fd Specifies a file descriptor returned by the t_open() function that identifies the local transport endpoint. For connection-mode service, this function allows more than a single transport endpoint to be bound to the same protocol address, provided the transport provider allows this. However, only one protocol address can be bound to a transport endpoint. See the xti_internet(7) reference page for more information. When a transport user binds more than one transport endpoint to the same protocol address, only one endpoint can be used to listen for connect indications associated with that protocol address using the t_listen() function. Consequently, for a given protocol address, only one t_bind() function may specify a value greater than 0 (zero) for the req->qlen parameter. In this way, the transport provider can identify the transport endpoint that should be notified of an incoming connect indication. If a transport user attempts to bind a protocol address to a second transport endpoint with a qlen value greater than zero, the t_bind() functions returns -1 and sets t_errno to [TADDRBUSY]. When a user accepts a connection on a transport endpoint that is already the listening endpoint, the bound protocol address is considered busy for the duration of the connection until a t_unbind() or t_close() call is issued. There can be only one passive listening endpoint on a protocol address at any one time. For connectionless-mode service, only one endpoint can be associated with a protocol address. If a user attempts to bind a second transport endpoint to a protocol address that is already bound, t_bind() returns -1 and sets t_errno to [TADDRBUSY]. req Specifies a pointer to a type t_bind() structure that has the following members: struct netbuf addr Specifies a buffer for protocol address information sent by the calling transport user. The type netbuf structure referenced by this member is defined in the xti.h include file. This structure, which is used to specify the address to be bound to the endpoint, has the following members: unsigned int maxlen Specifies the maximum byte length of the data buffer. This parameter has no meaning for the req argument. unsigned int len Specifies the number of bytes in the address. char *buf Points to the address buffer location. unsigned qlen Specifies the number of outstanding connect indications that the transport provider should support for the given transport endpoint. An outstanding connect indication is one that has been passed to the transport user by the transport provider but has not been accepted or rejected. This field has meaning only when initializing a connection-mode service. The req parameter is used to request that the protocol address, pointed to by req->addr.buf be bound to the transport endpoint specified by the fd parameter. The req->addr.maxlen parameter has no meaning. If the requested address is not available, the t_bind() call returns the value -1 and sets t_errno to indicate the error. If the transport user does not specify a protocol address, either by specifying a ret as a NULL pointer or by specifying req->addr.len as 0 (zero), the transport provider assigns an alternate protocol address and returns it in the req->addr.buf field. If the transport provider does not support automatic address generation, the t_bind() call returns the value -1 and sets t_errno to [TNOADDR]. The req parameter may be specified as a null pointer when a transport user does not need to use a protocol address for binding. The ret parameter may also be specified as a null pointer when the protocol address is not significant. A value of req->qlen greater than 0 (zero) is meaningful only when it is issued by a transport user expecting other transport users to call it. The value of qlen is negotiated by the transport provider and may be changed if the transport provider cannot support the specified number of outstanding connect indications. However, this value qlen is never be negotiated from a request value greater than zero to zero; this is a requirement on transport providers. On return, the qlen field in ret contains the negotiated value. ret Specifies a pointer to a type t_bind() structure. The addr structure member returned by t_bind() specifies variables for the protocol address actually bound to the transport endpoint specified by the fd parameter. If specified, the address in ret is the same as in req. The transport user must specify the maximum size (in bytes) of the protocol address with the ret->addr.maxlen parameter and the location into which to place the address with the ret->addr.buf parameter. On return, the ret->addr.len parameter specifies the actual number of bytes in the bound protocol address and the ret->addr.buf parameter points to the bound address. When the ret->addr.maxlen parameter is not large enough to hold the returned protocol address, an error occurs.
VALID STATESThe t_bind() function can be called only in the T_UNBND transport provider state.
DESCRIPTIONThe t_bind() XTI function is used in connectionless and connection-oriented transport service to associate a protocol address with the transport endpoint returned by the t_open() function and to activate that transport endpoint. This function uses type t_bind() and netbuf structures, which are defined in the xti.h include file. When connection-oriented transport service is in effect, and once this function has been called, the transport provider may begin enqueuing incoming connect indications or may service a connection request on the transport endpoint. When connectionless transport service is in effect and once this function has been called, the transport user may send or receive data units through the transport endpoint.
USAGEA transport provider might not allow more than one transport endpoint to be explicitly bound to the same protocol address, even though more than one connection can be accepted for the same protocol address. Therefore, to ensure code portability do not bind transport endpoints that are also responding endpoints (resfd) in a call to t_accept() when the reponding address and the called address are the same.
RETURN VALUESUpon successful completion, a value of 0 (zero) is returned. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and t_errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORSIf the t_bind() function fails, t_errno may be set to one of the following: [TBADF] The specified file descriptor does not refer to a transport endpoint. [TOUTSTATE] The function was issued in the wrong sequence. [TBADADDR] The specified protocol address was in an incorrect format or contained illegal information. [TNOADDR] The transport provider could not allocate an address. [TACCES] The user does not have permission to use the specified address. [TBUFOVFLW] The number of bytes allowed for an incoming argument is not sufficient to store the value of that argument. The provider's state will change to T_IDLE and the information to be returned in the ret parameter will be discarded. [TSYSERR] A system error occurred during execution of this function. [TADDRBUSY] The address requested is in use and the transport provider could not allocate a new address. [TPROTO] This error indicates that a communication problem has been detected between XTI and the transport provider for which there is no other suitable XTI(t_errno).
RELATED INFORMATIONFunctions: t_accept(3), t_alloc(3), t_close(3), t_open(3), t_optmgmt(3), t_unbind(3). Network information: xti(7), xti_internet(7).

I just bought another drive for my Dell XPS 1710 notebook (4G Ram) and setup Win2008 workstation from MSDN. All went well, I have everything I need to work I think (.net development is my primary use). I do notice that it runs very smoothly, and seems to boot much faster than my XP drive.
WHat I am concerned about is memory footprint. At rest, without SQL server loaded, just IIS, but no AV and minimal drivers, I am sitting at about 950MB – 1G. For an almost fully loaded XP Pro (32) workstation but WITH Kaspersky AV, mozy backup, etc, I am at 470MB.
What I am wondering is if there is a different way between the kernals for measuring RAM used, or perhaps this is typical due to caching or the 32/64 bit difference. I tried killing every killable service on Win2008 but was only able to get the footprint down to 700M. I should probably not worry, as I have 3 usable G left once things are booted, but I am a bit of a Ram weenie and watch it constantly.

If you are using SuperFetch (Enabling Superfetch) it is possible that Windows has already loaded often used applications in memory in advance in order to provide a faster startup of the application. This can cause that “Windows” uses that much RAM even before you have started any program.
To get a good view of the processes that are currently running and how much memory they are using, use the Sysinternals Process Explorer tool and select some useful columns to display. (View -> Select Columns -> Process Memory)
Hope this helps you a bit!

i saw what is my baseline memory [however my os is month old]
i killed all the apps and trays apps just not nod32 🙂
and ofc make services tweaking too
so its just 650MB of used ram nice to 64bit system 🙂
btw its vlited os

Windows 6 [Vista/2008] will eat memory. It’s designed to. All that memory sitting there is being wasted – so thanks to Superfetch, it remembers what programs [EXE’s] you use on a daily basis, and caches them intelligently – putting that RAM to good use 🙂
Don’t fret though – if you start a game, Windows 6 will purge all the Superfetch data out of RAM IF it needs to 🙂 Believe me, its a good thing!

Unlocking Software Dreams
The New Literacy
Learning to code without a computer is like learning to read without a book.
Computer programming is a more valuable skill now than ever before. Learning to code helps you to understand the modern world, gives you tools to improve your thinking, and is a powerful skill you could add to your career.
Modern Skills for Modern Jobs
Software has eaten the world. Most high-paying jobs depend on some kind of computer program, and many even require some degree of computer programming. Knowing how software works explains so much about modern life.
But understanding software is more than troubleshooting and taking advantage of digital life. Learning to read and write code teaches you intuitive thinking skills like solution composition, contract design and operational complexity.
Practically speaking, learning to code is one of the best skills to learn to improve your career. Even to this day, creating a software solution in most industries can completely change the world. At minimum, coding will empower you to solve otherwise impossible problems and complete tasks in a fraction of the time.
Unfortunately, you cannot learn to code unless you're fairly tech-literate. You will need to know how to use a keyboard well, and you will need to know how to debug software tools well. To learn to code, you will need to know the difference between Windows and MacOS.
If you grew up in a city or a place with a computer in every home, then you are probably ready to learn to code. Kids growing up surrounded by computers and the internet know how to type, and they know how to restart an application. Kids growing up in the city have seen Windows and MacOS.
In Mogotio, Kenya, most kids do not know how to use a keyboard. They do not what to do when a computer program is not working. In Mogotio, kids may reach adulthood without seeing an Apple computer. But computer classes in primary school is an efficient solution to this inequity.
How To Provide Global Opportunity
TechLit Africa is opening the door to coding for rural Africa (starting this year in Kenya). Basic digital skills will give them powerful skills to earn a living, especially online. After becoming tech-literate, they will be able to learn to code. Students from TechLit's computer classes could become the tech leaders of tomorrow.

We are a family run business with more than 20 years of experience in the Montessori Method. Our objective is to nurture your child and to help you with the important task of guiding his or her intellectual, emotional, and physical development. We are excited for the opportunity to continue our excellent program in the city of San Marcos.
Our mission at the Montessori School of San Marcos is to provide our students with high quality education and care. Our goal is to build a strong foundation. We want to promote a child’s growth toward autonomy and partner with parents to develop responsible, respectful life-long learners.
We believe that by following the Philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, a scientifically based system to our students not only benefits their growth and development during early childhood, but also throughout their lives. The Montessori philosophy is based on love for each child, respect for the child’s individuality, and a strong desire to help each child realize their fullest potential.
How do I enroll?
Applications are accepted at any time. The preschool admits children between 8 weeks – 6 years of age. Before we enroll a student, we would prefer to meet with both parents and the child. We do not discriminate against children with emotional or physical handicaps. Each child will be considered on an individual basis based on the child’s ability to benefit from our program and how the child will adapt and integrate into the culture of the school. We will carefully consider if the child can be successful in our program and also if the family is willing to operate in a partnership with our school to create a successful educational experience for the child.

Objectives: For children with life-threatening illnesses we sought to (1) understand the associations between parental characteristics and preferred health information sources, and (2) assess the e-health literacy of Internet-users.
Study design: Cross-sectional, telephone survey of 129 parents whose children are in a pediatric palliative care program in Florida.
Results: Four out of five parents report that they use the Internet, and 64% of Internet-users use it daily. Parents who never use the Internet, versus parents who do use the Internet, are predominately Hispanic (50%) and have less than a high school education (64%) (P ≤ 0.023). Internet-users have high levels of e-health literacy; however, they are not confident or are unsure about the quality of information on the Internet. Not having graduated from high school was associated with a decrease in e-health literacy and using the Internet as the primary information source (vs. doctor as primary source) was associated with an increase in e-health literacy.
Conclusion: Parents of children with life-threatening illnesses have access to and use the Internet as a source of information about their children's health. More information is needed to explore how electronic-based interventions could be used to impact information seeking of parents whose children are in pediatric palliative care programs.

Antioxidant Micronutrients in the Prevention of Age-related Diseases
The role and functions of antioxidant micronutrients such as ascorbate (vitamin C), a-tocopherol (vitamin E) and carotenoids that are provided through the diet in aging and in the prevention of age-related diseases are discussed in the present work. In general, a healthy lifestyle involving regular exercise and avoidance of tobacco or alcohol abuse are the key to the prevention of several age-related diseases including cardiovascular diseases, dementia and cancer. A balanced and regular nutrition with at least five portions of fruit and vegetables per day is a critical constituent of such a healthy lifestyle.
The increase in average life expectancy is resulting in an increasing prevalence of major invalidating illnesses, such as dementia, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer., We need to understand the mechanisms underlying the aging process so that we can help delay it. This is an absolute priority.
The so-called free radical theory of aging might constitute a common link between all the aging theories formulated so far. Reactive species like those of oxygen (reactive oxygen species, ROS), nitrogen (reactive nitrogen species, RNS) and chlorine (reactive chlorine species, RCS) are produced during normal metabolism: a certain amount of ROS/RNS/RCS production is, in fact, necessary for proper health: for example, it helps the body's immune system to kill microorganisms. ROS are mainly produced in mitochondria, and are formed in much larger amounts during activity than during rest. ROS, RNS and RCS are oxidants - i.e., molecules or atoms which can oxidize a substrate and are reduced in this reaction. They are able to damage several key cellular components like membrane lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and proteins, thereby severely disturbing major cellular and organic physiologic functions. This type of damage occurs when the host defenses against oxidants (for this reason called antioxidants) are quantitatively and/or qualitatively unable to counteract the production and effects of oxidants themselves. This state is referred to as oxidative stress, and is known to be associated with a number of disease states in humans. To date, compelling evidence supports the important role played by oxidative and nitrative stresses in the aging process as well as in the pathophysiology of age-related illnesses such as CVD and AD.
The antioxidant defense system provides protection against oxidative reactions and is organized at the levels of prevention, interception and repair. Prevention comprises of strategies that avoid the generation of ROS/RNS/RCS; e.g. diminished light exposure to lower photooxidative reactions or caloric restriction to decrease side reactions in the sequence of the respiratory chain. Proteins, tightly binding metal ions which otherwise catalyze prooxidant reactions, are also involved in prevention.
For interception, a network of antioxidant enzymes, i.e. endogenous- and exogenous molecules, is available to scavenge ROS/RNS/RCS once they are generated. Superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione and glutathione-dependent enzymes as well as other sulfur- or selenium-containing proteins and low molecular weight compounds are synthesized by the organism for defense. Small molecular weight compounds with antioxidant properties such as ascorbate (vitamin C), a-tocopherol (vitamin E) and carotenoids, instead, are provided to the organism through the diet - particularly by fruits and vegetables - and are therefore called antioxidant micronutrients. They are an essential component of the antioxidant defense network; an inadequate supply with the diet has been epidemiologically correlated with an increased risk for degenerative diseases. Repair, finally, is the domain of enzymes, which recognize oxidatively damaged molecules and initiate repair, degradation or removal. The interplay of all processes and compounds in the network provides optimal protection of the organism. During aging, and in oxidative stress-related disease states, antioxidant micronutrients are consumed and their levels may fall below normal ranges. Furthermore, age-related biological and often socioeconomic changes induce critical risk factors for malnutrition; surveys indicate that the elderly are particularly at risk for marginal deficiency of vitamins and trace elements.,, The biological explanations for malnutrition in the elderly include mechanisms related to decreased energy intake, sensory changes, changes of the gastrointestinal tract (oral health problems, digestive changes), the body composition, physical activity, neuropsychological function, as well as to components able to modify the bioavailability of the ingested micronutrients in the aging organism - for instance, use of multiple medications and drug-nutrient interactions.,
Although vitamin deficiency is rarely encountered in developed countries, a suboptimal vitamin status puts aged individuals at high risk for diseases like CVD, dementia, and osteoporosis., The assessment of circulating antioxidants can be used, together with other information, to evaluate conditions of oxidative stress in humans. Rather than absolute antioxidant concentrations, however, it is the antioxidant pattern observed in a specific condition that may be both used to uncover the importance of one compound over another and to determine a particular nutritional need of the subject studied. In the Nun Study, a strong negative association was found between dependence in self-care in 77- to 98-year-old women and plasma levels of lycopene, but not of other carotenoids or vitamin E.
Interestingly, even usual aging (without disease but at risk) and successful aging (low risk and high function) show a specific antioxidant pattern. For example in the former, there exists an inverse correlation between lycopene plasma concentrations and age, with lowest levels among subjects older than 80 years, as was shown in an elderly subpopulation of the Framingham Heart Study. As far as successful aging is concerned, healthy Italian centenarians have significantly lower levels and activities of antioxidant non-enzymatic and enzymatic compounds compared to younger controls, with the exception of plasma levels of vitamins A and E which are significantly higher in centenarians than in younger subjects.,, This observation has been recently confirmed in a larger group of healthy centenarian subjects, and is particularly interesting in light of the role played by these vitamins in protecting against immune and cognitive disturbances - from which our centenarians were in fact completely free.
Neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) share in common both aging as a major risk factor and oxidative stress as an important pathophysiological mechanism., Interestingly, an involvement of oxidative stress has been suggested in accelerated aging processes such as progeria and Werner syndromes, which are also associated with neurodegenerative processes. Collectively, there is enough evidence to suggest that oxidative damage plays an important role in brain dysfunction seen in dementias, especially in AD. The potential implication of antioxidant patterns also displays in this disease: while we found high peripheral levels of biomarkers of oxidative damage to DNA, lipids and proteins (Polidori et al, not yet published data) paralleling a dramatic decrease in levels and activities of several enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, only some antioxidants appear to be specifically associated to a particular biomolecular damage. This is, for instance, the case of lutein, lycopene, a-and b-carotene, whose plasma levels have been found to be inversely related to the lymphocyte DNA content of an oxidized base, 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, in AD patients. This observation might be of relevance in AD prevention or in slowing disease progression, since lycopene has been shown to exert protective effects against oxidative DNA damage and since supplementation with xanthophylls and lycopene was able to decrease the amount of biomarkers of DNA and lipid oxidation in humans. The critical question is whether oxidative stress is a consequence rather than a causative step in the development of neurodegenerative processes. It can be, at least, partially answered with the observation that subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition frequently associated with AD, have increased plasma, urine and CSF levels of 8,12-iso-iPF2a-VI - a sensitive marker of in vivo lipid peroxidation; compared to healthy subjects. These results, together with the report of increased levels of cerebral biomarkers of oxidative damage in the early AD stage compared to the most advanced one as well as the observation of broad and dramatic antioxidant depletion noted in MCI and AD subjects support the hypothesis that oxidative damage occurs as one of the earliest pathophysiological events in AD. An early stage of AD, MCI, precedes AD by several years. A large number of studies found an association between high dietary antioxidant intake and with a decreased risk for AD.,, However, intervention trials demonstrated no major benefit with antioxidant supplementation in the treatment of AD. It is possible that when the clinical symptoms of AD appear a large proportion of neuronal cells might already be destroyed and therefore the intervention with antioxidants could be too late.
Several lines of evidence support a role for oxidative stress in atherogenesis. Epidemiological studies suggest that low levels of antioxidants are associated with increased risk for CVD, while high vitamin E plasma levels have been shown to be associated with the absence of atherosclerosis in octogenarians.
After brain injury by ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke or trauma, the production of ROS may increase, sometimes drastically, leading to tissue damage via several different cellular molecular pathways, including complex cascades of metabolic events that involve glutamate and its transporter proteins, NMDA receptors, nitric oxide synthases, etc. We showed that plasma levels of vitamin C - but not of vitamin E, ubiquinol-10 and uric acid - were inversely correlated with the size of the brain lesion in patients with brain hemorrhage or head trauma. In addition, plasma vitamin C levels were lower in jugular compared with peripheral blood samples in a small subset of patients. Independent of dietary intake, lipid profile, smoking habit and vitamin supplementation only plasma levels of vitamin C and of lutein, but not of other antioxidants, were shown to be associated with functional outcome in patients with neurological impairment due to ischemic stroke of recent onset. In these individuals, lipid peroxidation was shown to be significantly higher compared to controls., In classic experiments, it was shown that under conditions of oxidative stress, until all vitamin C is consumed there is neither a significant loss of other antioxidants nor an increase in lipid peroxidation in human plasma. The protection against free radicals exhibited by vitamin C was confirmed even in the presence of bleomycin-detectable free iron, an effect that might be of relevance in brain injury when iron is released by damaged cells. Two recent intervention studies showed that short-term and long-term vitamin C supplementation increases the resistance of plasma to lipid peroxidation both in healthy humans and in stroke patients (Polidori et al., not yet published data).
Antioxidant micronutrients have been postulated to exert protective effects against coronary heart disease (CHD). A meta-analysis has indicated that the relative risk reduction of ischemic heart disease in high consumers of fruit and vegetables may be in the order of 15%. Vitamin E is thought to prevent atherosclerotic disease not only by its antioxidant effects, but also through its inhibitory effects upon smooth muscle proliferation and platelet adesion. In supplementation studies in humans, a-tocopherol decreases lipid peroxidation and platelet aggregation and adhesion and is anti-inflammatory in nature. Of 11 studies evaluating the effects of various combinations of antioxidants including a-tocopherol, ascorbic acid and b-carotene on cardiovascular events, 4 showed a benefit with regards to the primary endpoint. Randomized, controlled trials of specific antioxidant supplements, however, have failed to demonstrate a consistent or significant effect of any single vitamin or combinations of vitamins on incidence of or on death from CVD.
We studied 30 elderly patients with CHF due, in half of the cases, to ischemic heart disease. The sample population, once again, was rigorously controlled for several potential oxidative stress-related confounding variables, including comorbidity, drug therapy, antioxidant vitamin supplementation, dietary intake, smoking habit, lipid profile, and degree of physical activity. Independently of the ischemic origin of the failure, the left ventricular ejection fraction (the ratio of the volume of blood the heart empties during systole to the volume of blood in the heart at the end of the diastole, expressed as a percentage of the total diastolic blood volume in the heart and normally ranging between 60% and 80%) significantly and directly correlated with plasma levels of vitamin A, vitamin E, lutein and lycopene - but not with other carotenoids. This observation is substantiated by the synergistic action and quenching activity of lutein and lycopene and by their potential ability to neutralize free radicals implicated as a cause of endothelial dysfunction in heart disease., In our study a simultaneous inverse correlation was found between ejection fraction and malondialdehyde, a marker of lipid peroxidation. Recently, an inverse correlation between ejection fraction and plasma levels of a more sensitive and specific biomarker of lipid peroxidation (8,12-isoprostane F2a-VI, one of the most abundant F2 -isoprostanes produced in vivo in humans) was also found in another group of patients with moderate and moderately severe CHF of ischemic origin (Polidori et al., not yet published data). It is, therefore, interesting to note that the relationship between the antioxidant pattern observed in CHF and the heart functionality might be, once again, mediated by and intimately linked to the pathophysiological step of lipid peroxidation.
It is often difficult to correlate a dietary deficiency with clinical symptoms that may arise, because many vitamins and minerals have multiple roles in metabolism. Vitamin metabolites, for instance, show various kinds of activities, both antioxidative and non-antioxidative.,,,
Antioxidant vitamins and micronutrients are able to exert non-antioxidant biological activities in addition to their free radical-scavenging capacity. Vitamin C, due to its participation in hydroxylation reactions and involvement in collagen synthesis, might play an important role in the prevention of pressure sores and ulcers in the elderly; vitamin E might exert regulatory effects on cell proliferation and shows a beneficial effect in improving glucose transport and the insulin sensitivity; lycopene is a very efficient antioxidant and is superior to b-carotene in scavenging singlet oxygen but its anti-cancer effects may not be or only in part be, related to its antioxidant activity. In several in vitro studies it was shown that the inhibition of cell proliferation by lycopene and b-carotene is associated with a delay in cell cycle progression.,
The fact that there is a multitude of oxidants as well as of antioxidants with overlapping reactivities, renders a biochemically rigorous assessment of the implication of oxidative stress difficult. Moreover, helpful as epidemiological studies can be, sometimes there is a confounding of associations with cause-effect relationships, leading to erroneous conclusions. For example while studying the implications of oxidative stress in CVD, controlling for risk factors like diabetes or smoking, that are themselves associated with free radical-induced damage constitutes a fundamental step for a subsequent clear interpretation of data. The results of cross-sectional studies (whether ecological or based on comparisons between individuals) might be, therefore, difficult to interpret, because there is usually an abundance of possible confounding factors, such as diet, lifestyle and physical activity. Inter-individual variations should also be taken into account: similar mean intakes of vitamin E, for instance, do not relate to similar mean plasma a-tocopherol concentrations while the same mean plasma concentrations of a-tocopherol may be achieved by different mean vitamin E intakes in humans. Geographic issues might be extremely relevant when conducting transnational studies, as the concentrations of antioxidant-rich foods vary considerably from country to country: plasma concentrations of g-tocopherol the most abundant form of vitamin E in the US diet, for instance, have been shown to be 2.15 ± 0.85 µM in a group of healthy German women and 6.4 ± 3.2 µM in healthy American women participating in the Framingham Heart Study., For antioxidant measurements, the issues of sampling, sample preparation, storage conditions and operator competence are of great importance. Even when attempts are made to carefully and rigorously control as many variables as possible, a statistically significant correlation between two parameters (such as a biological and a clinical marker of disease) does not always allow to infer a cause-effect relationship, as shown in the storks vs. babies correlation.
As far as randomized controlled trials are concerned, it is not redundant to mention once again that there are several explanations to the conflicting results obtained. These have been clearly and succintly summarized by Asplund and include, among others, the lack of specificity of the design to test a particular antioxidant, the lack of attention for the above mentioned confounding factors, the short duration of treatment and inappropriate choice of “time window” (to achieve efficacy, the antioxidant must be given during the time available between the damaging event and irreversible cell loss), the synthetic vs. natural source of antioxidant used (for instance, hepatocytes selectively enrich nascent very low-density lipoproteins with the natural 2R-stereoisomers of a-tocopherol, thereby loading the tissue only with this form of vitamin E14), and the absence of evaluation of markers of oxidative stress as intermediate end-points. With respect to the latter point, it is indeed essential to measure biomarkers of lipid peroxidation when conducting studies on CVD or of DNA oxidation when studying cancer and in nutritional studies in general, to prove that antioxidant vitamins are materially able to decrease disease-related oxidative damage. For neurodegeneration and stroke, agents that cross the blood-brain-barrier, penetrate the brain and are safe for long term consumption are needed.
In conclusion, a large body of scientific evidence doubtlessly indicates that an association exists between inadequate antioxidant status and increased risk for or poor outcome of several age-related diseases, including AD, stroke, CHF, CVD, osteoporosis, cancer, osteoarthritis, degenerative diseases of the eye,, and peripheral arterial disease. Antioxidant micronutrients do also show beneficial effects in the prevention of several of these diseases. This effect, however, is much stronger and consistent for antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables than for single vitamin supplements. In addition, fruits and vegetables contain compounds such as sulforaphane - that induces GSH transferase thereby helping detoxifying many kinds of carcinogens - and phytochemicals such as genistein, whose intake is associated with a lower risk for several types of cancer. Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables can enhance the plasma antioxidant capacity in humans and is associated with a lower risk for CVD and cancer. Nutritional interventions effectively increase plasma levels of carotenoids, vitamins and antioxidants and decrease plasma levels of homocysteine in humans.,, They also constiute feasible strategy in the population in comparison to other strategies such as drug treatment or caloric restriction. While the National Cancer Institute and the National Research Council recommend 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables per day be part of daily diet - with the most beneficial effect shown for 9 servings per day, 80% of American children and adolescents and 68%of adults did not meet this intake. It is the utmost hope that this situation, applicable to most industrialized countries, will promptly improve through the help of large health campaigne such as the “5-a-day” in the US (www.5aday.com) and the “5-am-Tag” in Germany (www.5amtag.de). In general, a healthy lifestyle involving, among others, regular exercise and avoidance of tobacco or alcohol abuse is key for the prevention of several age-related diseases of our time. A balanced and regular diet with at least five portions of fruits and vegetables per day is a critical constituent of such healthly lifestyle.

âYou have to trust the information to make the right choice,â Chumbley said, pointing out that architects and golf course superintendents often try to create visual confusion with blurry transitions, false facades and the like. techniques.
So what does a golf course look like through the PRIZM Golf and PRIZM Golf Dark lenses?
First of all, as all golfers know, golf is played in a predominantly green landscape. Lenses work primarily to reduce dominant green tones and amplify colors adjacent to green. Among other effects, this amplifies the white of the golf ball, allowing golfers to better follow it against the background of the course and the sky.
In contrast, a traditional lens is very flat with no amplified colors and little color separation. By creating peaks and valleys across the spectrum and color separation, PRIZM Golf lenses are able to provide more beneficial information to the eyes of golfers.
PRIZM Golf vs PRIZM Golf Dark: What’s different between the two?
To take it a step further, Oakley has two golf-specific lenses. PRIZM Golf and PRIZM Golf Dark. The company has found that the Dark Golf lens, which features a more balanced, less contrasting view, is more appetizing for the weekend warrior.
Interestingly, the pros, perhaps due to their already high visual acuity on the course, prefer the standard PRIZM Golf lens with its more pronounced color amplification and higher contrast.
Additionally, Oakley says that PRIZM Golf is ideal for low to medium light with a 30% VLT and has a lighter shade, and PRIZM Dark Golf will excel in bright, sunny conditions and has a darker shade with VLT 22.
Both lenses feature Plutonite lens material, which blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400nm.

The visual function of 42 children with haemorrhagic and/or ischaemic cerebral lesions acquired before a gestational age of 35 weeks was examined and related to cranial ultrasound in the neonatal period and to MRI and neurodevelopmental status at follow-up. All 37 children with abnormal ultrasound scans and one of the five with normal ultrasound scans showed impairment of one or more aspects of visual function. While impaired acuity was more frequent among infants with MRI evidence of visual pathway damage, this was not an invariable finding. Normal or near-normal visual acuity did not preclude the presence of other functional visual deficits. The authors conclude that preterm cerebral insults may produce a variety of visual difficulties, the pattern and severity of which cannot be predicted on imaging. Each child therefore requires individual assessment of multiple aspects of visual function.

The Toastmasters Journey
Toastmasters began as a series of speaking clubs organized by Ralph C. Smedley during his time working for the YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) in Bloomington, Illinois, United States. As director of education at the YMCA, Smedley saw a need for the men in the community to learn how to speak, conduct meetings, plan programs and work on committees, and he wanted to help them.
Smedley decided to organize a club where they could learn these skills in a social environment, and the men responded well to the concept. He named the group the Toastmasters Club; “toastmaster” was a popular term that referred to a person who gave toasts at banquets and other occasions.
The first unofficial Toastmasters meeting was held on March 24, 1905. Much like Toastmasters meetings today, the participants took turns leading and speaking at each meeting. Smedley and the older, more experienced men evaluated short speeches, while the younger men were invited to join in the evaluations. However, as Smedley was offered positions at other YMCAs in Illinois and later, in San Jose, California, the fledgling clubs lacked leadership and did not flourish.
The Forming of Toastmasters International
Smedley began working at the newly organized YMCA in Santa Ana, California, in 1922, and for the first two years, his time was spent building a home for the organization. However, his passion to help others learn to speak and lead remained. Once the new YMCA building was christened in April of 1924, he was able to introduce the idea of Toastmasters to his colleagues, and organize the Toastmasters club that eventually became Club No. 1 of Toastmasters International. The first meeting was held at the YMCA building on October 22, 1924. Word spread about Smedley’s Toastmasters clubs and soon people in surrounding communities and other states were asking how they could start their own club.
To save time replying to the many letters and inquiries he was receiving, Smedley wrote the “Manual of Instructions” and “Ten Lessons in Public Speaking,” which he had printed and bound in paper covers. On October 25, 1928, he secured copyrights on the publications and trademarked the name “Toastmasters Club.”
By 1930, nearly 30 Toastmasters clubs had formed including a club in British Columbia, Canada. To reflect expansion outside of the United States, the newly formed association was re-named Toastmasters International. Two years later, in 1932, Toastmasters International was incorporated as a California non-profit organization and Smedley took on the positions of Secretary and Editor of the new association.
He resigned as YMCA Secretary in 1941 to devote more time to Toastmasters. Through the war years, he operated the organization out of a small office. When the war ended, a new Secretary, Ted Blanding, replaced Smedley and remained active as Educational Director for the rest of his life, as well as a permanent member of the Board of Directors.
The Growth of Toastmasters International
A series of rented office spaces in Southern California served as Toastmasters International’s headquarters until 1962, when the staff moved into the first World Headquarters building in Santa Ana, not far from the YMCA where the first Toastmasters club met.
Ralph C. Smedley died in 1965. In 1970, Toastmasters International admitted its first female member, Helen Blanchard, under the name Homer Blanchard. In 1973, Toastmasters began officially admitting women, and in 1985, Helen became Toastmasters’ first female international president.
Terrence McCann, an Olympic wrestler, was chosen in 1975 to serve as the Executive Director of Toastmasters International, a position he held until 2001. He was replaced by Donna Groh (2001–2008) and then Daniel Rex (2008 to present).

Significant gaps of information exist globally on sharks and rays, collectively known as elasmobranchs, and this is proving a challenge to conservation efforts. The MesoAmerican Reef region (Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras) is no exception. Honduras is one of 15 countries worldwide that declared its waters a “shark sanctuary”, which bans shark fishing and the commercialization of their meat and derivatives. Unfortunately, with limited enforcement and an unknowing public, shark fishing continues largely unabated in Honduras to date. To create the necessary baseline to identify changes in populations and inform the public about the large animals that ply their seas, we conducted the first large-scale marine megafauna monitoring project in the Caribbean of Honduras. The surveys monitor large animals (megafauna), including sharks and rays, and also sea turtles and big finfish (barracudas, snapper and groupers). Our methods are standardized, which allows us to compare results among countries and sites. We usually use three methods: Baited Remote Underwater Videos (BRUVs), in-water snorkel transects and scientific longlines. This year we were able to complete broad training in capture and release techniques with traditional fishers from several communities, and for the first time sharks were caught and tagged in Honduras!
Since many sharks are very long lived (think of the Greenland shark that reaches over 400 years old!) and like us humans take many years to reach sexual maturity, it will take several years of monitoring to determine if there are any changes occurring in the populations of these large animals. However, we can compare our results with other surveys throughout the region to get an idea of the health of Honduras’s marine megafauna. We are also already seeing some common trends, especially in Roatan. Greater abundance and diversity of finfish exist within protected areas with enforcement and more sightings of sharks in areas with less human activity – areas that actually do not necessarily coincide with protected area boundaries. This is not surprising, as studies have shown that sharks are most abundant in remote and little fished areas.
Although we did not catch as many sharks as we would have wished for on our scientific longline, our star capture was a juvenile tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier). This was an unexpected surprise, especially for our partner fishers, many of whom had never seen, let alone handled a tiger shark, a species often feared for its reputation as a voracious predator. Seeing the fishers’ enthusiasm and excitement for the capture and subsequently the release of an often feared animal gives us great hope that perceptions and behaviours can change in the shark’s favour. We can’t wait to expand this training and work to more communities and link the monitoring into our already popular Kids Meet Sharks program in Honduras.

The takeover of Cadbury in 2010 by Kraft Foods sparked a review of how takeovers are conducted in the UK. But as the largest takeover bid in UK history of AstraZeneca by US-giant Pfizer looms on the horizon, have any lessons really been learned?
Kraft first announced that it was considering making an offer for Cadbury in September 2009 and, on 19 January 2010, Cadbury recommended Kraft’s offer to its shareholders. In February, Kraft Foods completed its £11.5bn acquisition of Cadbury, the manufacturer of Dairy Milk and, despite promises to the contrary, the deal saw the closure of the historic Somerdale factory near Bristol and numerous job losses.
The matter was reviewed in Parliament by the business, innovation and skills committee, which commented in its report published 6 April 2010 that: ‘The takeover of Cadbury by Kraft has highlighted a number of important issues in respect of the way in which foreign takeovers of UK companies are conducted.’
But the recent £60bn takeover bid by US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer of UK-based AstraZeneca has prompted a warning on jobs from Vince Cable.
The business secretary said he was committed to maintaining the UK’s position in the pharmaceutical industry as the mooted deal looks likely to end in a hostile takeover bid from Pfizer following AstraZeneca’s rejection of the initial offers.
According to Reuters, at the heart of Pfizer pursuit of the British drugmaker is a shortage of attractive products in its own research pipeline, aggravated by a recent series of disappointing drug launches, according to some industry analysts and money managers.
“Pfizer is doing this from a position of weakness,” said Michael Liss, a portfolio manager at American Century Investments who holds Pfizer shares. “If they had enough in their own pipeline, they wouldn’t need to buy a big company; they’d be doing smaller collaborations.”
Is Pfizer’s bid to buy AstraZeneca good for the UK? Let us know in the comments below.
Pfizer’s proposals “very significantly undervalued” AstraZeneca, the U.K. company said in a statement. AstraZeneca also said it was concerned that Pfizer wanted to pay 70% of the price in shares, AstraZeneca said. The company concluded that, absent a specific and attractive proposal, “it was not appropriate to engage in discussions with Pfizer.’’
“We tried to get a mutual announcement to say we were in preliminary discussions,” Pfizer Chief Executive Officer Ian Read said on a conference call today. “AstraZeneca rebuffed that… They’re sellers, we’re buyers,” Read said. “Of course they’re going to say it’s undervalued.”
If AstraZeneca eventually agrees, a deal would create a company incorporated in the UK for tax purposes and run from New York. London-based AstraZeneca’s operations would be sewn into Pfizer’s three new business units.
But what would the takeover mean for UK jobs and future UK investment? At this stage it is unclear but with recent history showing showing a lack care for local jobs by US corporates and Dr Cable already issuing his warnings, there are undoubtedly reasons for concern.
Given concerns about the importance of AstraZeneca to the UK, the Guardian has said Dr Cable could exercise powers under the Enterprise Act, which gives him the ability to intervene on grounds of public interest prompted by a threat to national security, media plurality or financial stability. It is even possible an order could be made to introduce new grounds for applying the public interest test, which previously happened during the HBOS and Lloyds merger.
Cable would only decide whether to intervene after an official offer, which must now come within 28 days under takeover rules. The European Commission could also be interested on competition grounds, given that the deal would have cross-border implications.
Labour has urged caution. Chuka Umunna, the shadow business secretary, said the deal should be judged on three tests of “whether it promotes jobs and growth in the UK pharmaceuticals industry, whether it protects Britain’s knowledge, research and skills base, and whether it comes with guarantees of long-term investment in the UK”.

Use this mind map template to give your team space to brainstorm, collaborate, and visually structure your ideas in real time — no matter where everyone is located. This template includes handy tips as well as different examples of mind maps, so you can choose the layout that best fits your needs.
A mind map is a brainstorming tool designed to help you visually track, organize, and structure your thoughts and ideas. Mind maps are diagrams with ideas branching from one central concept or idea, and are designed to organize information and synthesize ideas.
Start by writing down the main question or topic you want to explore. From there, your team jots down any related thoughts, ideas, or images that come to mind. As the brainstorming continues, you group related concepts into sub-themes or categories with supporting ideas that branch out radially from your core topic.
The end result is a fully flexible, visual diagram of all the thoughts and ideas surrounding a particular topic. Participants can re-order their thoughts into a logical sequence, connect ideas, identify central themes, and see how each item relates back to the big picture. It’s an exercise that, quite literally, helps you map a plan of action.
Start by determining the main focus of your mind map. Once you’ve identified the primary focus, write it down in the center of your mind map. You’ll build on this topic for the rest of the exercise.
Set aside five to 10 minutes for your team to brainstorm anything and everything related to your core topic. As ideas come to mind, add them to your mind map as words, phrases, or images.
Once you’ve got everything written down, identify three to five main categories that directly relate to your central topic. Think of these as the core components of your mind map — the overarching subtopics that most of your ideas fall under.
Now that your core categories have emerged, it’s time to sort through the rest of your ideas! Use connectors to group each idea under the category that makes the most sense. You can remove any ideas that don’t fit within your primary categories or create additional categories to house them.
Once you have your initial categories and supporting ideas organized, take time to explore each one individually and go deeper.
For each new idea, draw a line connecting it to the appropriate category, or create a new subcategory that branches off of one of your main ideas. Continue until you have a complex mind map that reveals the connections across all your topics and subtopics.
MURAL’s Mind Map Template makes it easy for you and your team to brainstorm collaboratively, plan projects, troubleshoot challenges, and identify creative solutions.
Drag and drop sticky notes, text, images, GIFs, and videos on an infinite canvas to customize your mind map exactly how you want it.
Build a mind map from scratch or use one of four pre-formatted layouts as the framework for your design. Each element can be customized to suit your team’s needs.
“Connectors” are the lines used to connect individual items to the larger categories within your mind map. They’re a critical component of any mind map – one that you need the flexibility to quickly adjust at will throughout the exercise.
You can click and drag your mouse to draw connectors free-form or use connector points to instantly attach new connectors and shapes to existing elements.
Whether you’re in the office together, mind mapping async, or collaborating remotely in real time, MURAL makes it easy for teams to brainstorm as a group. Our facilitator features let you set the parameters of your mind mapping session and help everyone work better together.

With the rapid advancement of the social economy in the field of ultra-fine powder processing, more and more ultra-fine powder application requirements, the traditional ultra-fine powder processing equipment has been difficult to meet market demands due to the low productivity. Low production capacity has seriously restricted the development of modern ultra-fine powder processing enterprises. In response to the current market demand, our factory combines many years of grinding machine production experiences, introduces Taiwan and Germany ultra-fine vertical grinding technology, designs and develops thie vertical grinding mill for powder. New ultra-fine grinding equipment, grading, conveying, secondary powder selection and finished product packaging .The product fineness can reach 400-3000 mesh, breaking through the ultra-fine powder processing capacity.
Ultra-fine vertical mill can be widely used in chemical, metallurgical, non-metallic minerals and other industries, especially in the field of ultra-fine grinding of white non-metallic minerals, with outstanding performance, the powder made by it can be used in paper, paint, plastic, high quality fillers and additives are available in the rubber, PVC, ink and other industries. This vertical mill can be widely used in calcite, marble, limestone, dolomite, barite, talc, kaolin, dolomite, wollastonite, gypsum, feldspar, pyrophyllite and other non-metallic minerals of large-scale ultra-fine dry powder processing.
In the case of the same fineness of the finished product and the same motor power, the output of the jet mill, the agitator mill and the ball mill is more than double.
Consumable parts have a long service life
The grinding roller and the grinding ring are forged by special materials, so that the utilization degree is greatly improved. Generally, it can last for more than one year. When processing calcium carbonate and calcite, the service life can reach 2-5 years.
High safety and reliability
Since there is no rolling bearing or screw in the grinding chamber, there is no problem that the bearing and its sealing member are vulnerable, and there is no problem that the screw is loose and the machine is destroyed.
Environmentally friendly, clean
The dust collector is used to capture dust, and the muffler is used to reduce noise, which is environmentally friendly and clean.
Structure and composition
Vertical mill is mainly composed of electric motor, reducer, grinding wheel , rolling plate , pressing device, classifier, feeding screw, oil station, main engine and electronic control system.
The main motor drives the grinding wheel through the reducer, and the airflow produced by the high-pressure fan enters the main machine from the tuyere. The material is fed into the vertical grinding machine through the feed screw and falls into the center of the grinding disc. Under the action of the centrifuge, the material is scattered from the center of the grinding disc. When it passes through the roller table area on the platen, it is subjected to the roller pressure, and the bulk material is directly crushed. After the small particles are pressed, the particles are ground and further pulverized until the powder is formed. The powdered material continues to move toward the edge of the mill until it is carried away by the strong airflow from the air inlet. When the material in the airflow passes through the upper classifier, the coarse particles fall back into the mill under the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotating impeller. Grinding, the qualified powder is collected by the dust collector after passing through the powder selection system, which is the finished product.

DATA BREACHES CONTINUE TO TARGET THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR
There has been an increasing number of data breaches, ransomware and cyber attacks on healthcare organizations. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has seen a bigger surge of such attacks on the healthcare sector. While some cybercrime gangs have sworn off attacking these facilities as they provide critical services; others view hospitals as easy targets since they are seen as weak and distracted by the pandemic. Tens of thousands of patient records are being stolen and being published on the dark web every week.
Here are some of the significant attacks on healthcare providers in the last few months.
Leon Medical Centre and Nocona General Hospital
A breach affecting about 500 individuals saw the patients’ records being stolen from Leon Medical Centers and posted on the dark web. The Center serves eight locations in Miami, Florida and Nocona General Hospital, which has three locations in Texas. The stolen data includes scanned diagnostic results and letters to insurers that include personally identifiable information such as name, contact information, social security number, financial information, date of birth, insurance information, etc.
At Leon Medical Centers, the data was stolen in a ransomware attack in November 2020 and was officially announced by the hospital in January 2021. A cybercrime gang known as ‘Conti’ was behind the attack. They are said to have demanded a ransom payment in return for a decryption key and have promised not to publish the Nocona has not published a breach disclosure on its website yet. An attorney for the hospital chain has said that the company was not a victim of ransomware. The breach on healthcare providers is just the tip of the iceberg. Read about healthcare security and compliance concerns due to Covid-19 on our blog.
The University of Vermont Health Network
The hospital was forced to shut down its IT system after identifying a cyberattack on October 28, 2020. The attack infected 5,000 network computers. The system outage lasted for more than 40 days and the health system reassigned or furloughed around 300 workers who were unable to do their jobs as a result of the computer outage. The UVM Health Network brought in the National Guard’s cybersecurity unit to help restore the computers. During the outage, the health system postponed some services. The health system was estimated to lose $1.5 million per day in revenue and extra expenses and the entire incident was expected to cost more than $63 million by the time it is resolved.
Ryuk ransomware affected six hospitals in the U.S. for over 24 hours. The attacks began on October 26, 2020, and the federal government reported the hit in an advisory on October 28. There was a list of 400 targeted hospitals that were circulated among Russian hackers. A few hospitals self-reported IT outages due to ransomware during that time, including Sky Lakes Medical Center in Oregon and St. Lawrence Health System, Upstate New York.
Sky Lakes Medical Center eventually purchased 2,000 new computers as a result of the attack. In response to the attack, unaffected health systems across the U.S. took preventative measures including pre-emptive email shutdowns and tightening security networks to protect against future attacks.
In the past, the federal government has issued a cybersecurity warning to healthcare providers about “credible, ongoing and persistent” threats, encouraging cyber teams and companies to continuously monitor and proactively look for issues within their networks and systems to respond quickly. Cybersecurity programs should include a very detailed and robust security awareness program as nearly all cyberattacks are initially carried out through a single user’s action.
By Breach Shield
Software provided by SureShield can protect healthcare organizations and assist in implementing an enterprise-wide and risk management plan. Given the alarming healthcare data breach statistics in 2020, it is important that organizations mitigate cybersecurity risk by:
- assessing the level of liability on endpoints and stratifying risk
- securing local copies of data using transparent encryption
- purging unnecessary data to reduce the amount of information stored at endpoints
- monitoring third-party downloading of PHI on any device
INSIGHT INTO THE WORLD’S LARGEST PASSWORD COMPILATION LEAK

Arthur "Harpo" Marx (born Adolph Marx; November 23, 1888 – September 28, 1964) was an American comedian, actor, mime artist, and musician, and the second-oldest of the Marx Brothers. In contrast to the mainly verbal comedy of his brothers Groucho Marx and Chico Marx, Harpo's comic style was visual, being an example of both clown and pantomime traditions. He wore a curly reddish blonde wig, and never spoke during performances (he blew a horn or whistled to communicate). He frequently used props such as a horn cane, made up of a pipe, tape, and a bulbhorn, and he played the harp in most of his films.

Harpo was born on November 23, 1888 in Manhattan. He grew up in a neighborhood now known as Carnegie Hill on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, on East 93rd Street off Lexington Avenue. The turn-of-the-century tenement that Harpo later called (in his memoir Harpo Speaks!) "the first real home I can remember" was populated with European immigrants, mostly artisans—which even included a glass blower. Just across the street were the oldest brownstones in the area, owned by people like David L. Loew and William Orth.
Harpo's parents were Sam Marx (called "Frenchie" throughout his life) and his wife, Minnie Schoenberg Marx. Minnie's brother was Al Shean. Marx's family was Jewish. His mother was from East Frisia in Germany, and his father was a native of Alsace in France and worked as a tailor.
Harpo received little formal education and left grade school at age eight (mainly due to bullying) during his second attempt to pass the second grade. He began to work, gaining employment in numerous odd jobs alongside his brother Chico to contribute to the family income, including selling newspapers, working in a butcher shop, and as an errand office boy.
In January 1910, Harpo joined two of his brothers, Julius (later "Groucho") and Milton (later "Gummo"), to form "The Three Nightingales", later changed to simply "The Marx Brothers". Multiple stories—most unsubstantiated—exist to explain Harpo's evolution as the "silent" character in the brothers' act. In his memoir, Groucho wrote that Harpo simply wasn't very good at memorizing dialogue, and thus was ideal for the role of the "dunce who couldn't speak", a common character in vaudeville acts of the time.
Harpo gained his stage name during a card game at the Orpheum Theatre in Galesburg, Illinois. The dealer (Art Fisher) called him "Harpo" because he played the harp. He learned how to hold it properly from a picture of an angel playing a harp that he saw in a five-and-dime. No one in town knew how to play the harp, so Harpo tuned it as best he could, starting with one basic note and tuning it from there. Three years later he found out he had tuned it incorrectly, but he could not have tuned it properly; if he had, the strings would have broken each night. Harpo's method placed much less tension on the strings. Although he played this way for the rest of his life, he did try to learn how to play correctly, and he spent considerable money hiring the best teachers. They spent their time listening to him, fascinated by the way he played. The major exception was Mildred Dilling, a professional harpist who did teach Harpo the proper techniques of the instrument and collaborated with him regularly when he had difficulty with various compositions.
In the autobiography Harpo Speaks (1961), he recounts how Chico found him jobs playing piano to accompany silent movies. Unlike Chico, Harpo could play only two songs on the piano, "Waltz Me Around Again, Willie" and "Love Me and the World Is Mine," but he adapted this small repertoire in different tempos to suit the action on the screen. He was also seen playing a portion of Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C# minor" in A Day at the Races and chords on the piano in A Night at the Opera, in such a way that the piano sounded much like a harp, as a prelude to actually playing the harp in that scene.
Harpo had changed his name from Adolph to Arthur by 1911. This was due primarily to his dislike for the name Adolph (as a child, he was routinely called "Ahdie" instead). The name change may have also happened because of the similarity between Harpo's name and Adolph Marks, a prominent show business attorney in Chicago. Urban legends stating that the name change came about during World War I due to anti-German sentiment in the US, or during World War II because of the stigma that Adolf Hitler imposed on the name, are groundless.
His first screen appearance was in the film Humor Risk (1921), with his brothers, although according to Groucho, it was only screened once and then lost. Four years later, Harpo appeared without his brothers in Too Many Kisses (1925), four years before the brothers' first released film, The Cocoanuts (1929). In Too Many Kisses, Harpo spoke the only line he would ever speak on-camera in a movie: "You sure you can't move?" (said to the film's tied-up hero before punching him). Fittingly, it was a silent movie, and the audience saw only his lips move and the line on a title card.
Harpo was often cast as Chico's eccentric partner-in-crime, whom he would often help by playing charades to tell of Groucho's problem, and/or annoy by giving Chico his leg, either to give it a rest or as an alternative to a handshake.
Harpo became known for prop-laden sight gags, in particular the seemingly infinite number of odd things stored in his topcoat's oversized pockets. In the film Horse Feathers (1932), Groucho, referring to an impossible situation, tells Harpo that he cannot "burn the candle at both ends." Harpo immediately produces from within his coat pocket a lit candle burning at both ends. In the same film, a homeless man on the street asks Harpo for money for a cup of coffee, and he subsequently produces a steaming cup, complete with saucer, from inside his coat. Also in Horse Feathers, he has a fish and a sword, and when he wants to go to his speakeasy, he stabs the fish in its mouth with his sword to give the password, "Swordfish." In Duck Soup, he produces a lit blowtorch to light a cigar. As author Joe Adamson put in his book, Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Sometimes Zeppo, "The president of the college has been shouted down by a mute."
Harpo often used facial expressions and mime to get his point across. One of his facial expressions, which he used in every Marx Brothers film and stage play, beginning with Fun in Hi Skule, was known as "the Gookie." Harpo created it by mimicking the expression of Mr. Gehrke, a New York tobacconist who would make a similar face while concentrating on rolling cigars.
Harpo further distinguished his character by wearing a "fright wig". Early in his career it was dyed pink, as evidenced by color film posters of the time and by allusions to it in films, with character names such as "Pinky" in Duck Soup. It tended to show as blonde on-screen due to the black-and-white film stock at the time. Over time, he darkened the pink to more of a reddish color, again alluded to in films with character names such as "Rusty".
His non-speaking in his early films was occasionally referred to by the other Marx Brothers, who were careful to imply that his character's not speaking was a choice rather than a disability. They would make joking reference to this part of his act. For example, in Animal Crackers his character was ironically dubbed "The Professor". In The Cocoanuts, this exchange occurred:
- Groucho: "Who is this?"
- Chico: "Dat's-a my partner, but he no speak."
- Groucho: "Oh, that's your silent partner!"
In later films, Harpo was put into situations where he would repeatedly attempt to convey a vital message to another person, but only did so through nonverbal means, usually by whistling or pantomime. These scenes reinforced the idea that the character was unable to speak.
In other media
In 1933, following U.S. diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Union, he spent six weeks in Moscow as a performer and goodwill ambassador. His tour was a huge success. Harpo's name was transliterated into Russian, using the Cyrillic alphabet, as ХАРПО МАРКС, and was billed as such during his Soviet Union appearances. Harpo, having no knowledge of Russian, pronounced it as "Exapno Mapcase". At that time Harpo and the Soviet Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinov became friends and even performed a routine on stage together. During this time he served as a secret courier; delivering communiques to and from the US embassy in Moscow at the request of Ambassador William Christian Bullitt, Jr., smuggling the messages in and out of Russia by taping a sealed envelope to his leg beneath his trousers, an event described in David Fromkin's 1995 book In the Time of the Americans. In Harpo Speaks, Marx describes his relief at making it out of the Soviet Union, recalling how "I pulled up my pants, ripped off the tape, unwound the straps, handed over the dispatches from Ambassador Bullitt, and gave my leg its first scratch in ten days."
The Russia trip was later memorialized in a bizarre science fiction novella, The Foreign Hand Tie by Randall Garrett, a tale of telepathic spies which is full of references to the Marx Brothers and their films. (The title itself is a Marx-like pun on the dual ideas of a "foreign hand" and a style of neckwear known as a "four-in-hand tie.")
In 1936, he was one of a number of performers and celebrities to appear as caricatures in the Walt Disney Production of Mickey's Polo Team. Harpo was part of a team of polo-playing movie stars which included Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy. His mount was an ostrich. Walt Disney would later have Harpo (with Groucho and Chico) appear as one of King Cole's "Fiddlers Three" in the Silly Symphony Mother Goose Goes Hollywood.
Harpo was also caricatured in Sock-A-Bye Baby (1934), an early episode of the Popeye cartoon series created by Fleischer Studios. Harpo is playing the harp, and wakes up Popeye's baby, and then Popeye kills him. (After Popeye hits him, a halo appears over his head and he floats to the sky.)
Friz Freleng's 1936 Merrie Melodies cartoon The Coo-Coo Nut Grove featuring animal versions of assorted celebrities, caricatures Harpo as a bird with a red beak. When he first appears, he is chasing a woman, but the woman later turns out to be Groucho.
Harpo also took an interest in painting, and a few of his works can be seen in his autobiography. In the book, Marx tells a story about how he tried to paint a nude female model, but froze up because he simply did not know how to paint properly. The model took pity on him, however, showing him a few basic strokes with a brush, until finally Harpo (fully clothed) took the model's place as the subject and the naked woman painted his portrait.
In 1955, Harpo made an appearance on the sitcom I Love Lucy, in which he and Lucille Ball re-enacted the famous mirror scene from the Marx Brothers movie Duck Soup (1933). In this scene, they are both supposed to be Harpo, not Groucho; he stays the same and she is dressed as him. About this time, he also appeared on NBC's The Martha Raye Show.
Harpo and Chico played a television anthology episode of General Electric Theater entitled "The Incredible Jewelry Robbery" entirely in pantomime in 1959, with a brief surprise appearance by Groucho at the end.
Harpo made television appearances in the 1960s. In 1960, he appeared with Ernest Truex in an episode of The DuPont Show with June Allyson entitled "A Silent Panic". He played a deaf-mute who, as a "mechanical man" in a department store window, witnessed a gangland murder. In 1961, he made guest appearances on The Today Show, Play Your Hunch, Candid Camera, I've Got a Secret, Here's Hollywood, Art Linkletter's House Party, Groucho's quiz show You Bet Your Life, The Ed Sullivan Show, and Your Surprise Package to publicize his autobiography "Harpo Speaks."
In November 1961 he guest-starred with Carol Burnett in an installment of The DuPont Show of the Week entitled "The Wonderful World of Toys". The show was filmed in Central Park and featured Marx playing "Autumn Leaves" on the harp. Other stars appearing in the episode included Eva Gabor, Audrey Meadows, Mitch Miller and Milton Berle. A visit to the set inspired poet Robert Lowell to compose a poem about Marx.
Harpo's two final television appearances came less than a month apart in late 1962. He portrayed a guardian angel on CBS's The Red Skelton Show on September 25. He guest starred as himself on October 20 in the episode "Musicale" of ABC's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, a sitcom starring Fess Parker, based on the 1939 Frank Capra film.
Harpo married actress Susan Fleming on September 28, 1936. The wedding became public knowledge after President Franklin D. Roosevelt sent the couple a telegram of congratulations the following month. Harpo's marriage, like Gummo's, was lifelong. (Groucho was divorced three times, Zeppo twice, Chico once.) The couple adopted four children: Bill, Alex, Jimmy, and Minnie. When he was asked by George Burns in 1948 how many children he planned to adopt, he answered, "I’d like to adopt as many children as I have windows in my house. So when I leave for work, I want a kid in every window, waving goodbye."
Harpo was good friends with theater critic Alexander Woollcott, and became a regular member of the Algonquin Round Table. He once said his main contribution was to be the audience for the quips of other members. In their play The Man Who Came to Dinner, George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart based the character of "Banjo" on Harpo. Harpo later played the role in Los Angeles opposite Woollcott, who had inspired the character of Sheridan Whiteside.
In 1961 Harpo published his autobiography, Harpo Speaks. Because he never spoke a word in character, many believed he actually was mute. In fact, radio and TV news recordings of his voice can be found on the Internet, in documentaries, and on bonus materials of Marx Brothers DVDs. A reporter who interviewed him in the early 1930s wrote that "he [Harpo] ... had a deep and distinguished voice, like a professional announcer", and like his brothers, spoke with a New York accent his entire life. According to those who personally knew him, Harpo's voice was much deeper than Groucho's, but it also sounded very similar to Chico's. His son, Bill, recalled that in private Harpo had a very deep and mature soft-spoken voice, but that he was "not verbose" like the other Marx brothers; Harpo preferred listening and learning from others.
Harpo's final public appearance came on January 19, 1963 with singer/comedian Allan Sherman. Sherman burst into tears when Harpo announced his retirement from the entertainment business. Comedian Steve Allen, who was in the audience, remembered that Harpo spoke for several minutes about his career, and how he would miss it all, and repeatedly interrupted Sherman when he tried to speak. The audience found it charmingly ironic, Allen said, that Harpo, who had never before spoken on stage or screen, "wouldn't shut up!" Harpo, an avid croquet player, was inducted into the Croquet Hall of Fame in 1979.
Harpo Marx died on September 28, 1964 (his 28th wedding anniversary), at age 75 in a West Los Angeles hospital, one day after undergoing heart surgery. Harpo's death was said to have hit the surviving Marx brothers very hard. Groucho's son Arthur Marx, who attended the funeral with most of the Marx family, later said that Harpo's funeral was the only time in his life that he ever saw his father cry. In his will, Harpo Marx donated his trademark harp to the State of Israel. His remains were cremated, and his ashes were scattered at a golf course in Rancho Mirage, California.
Harpo is most known for his signature outfit: trench coat with over-large pockets, red wig (he switched to a blonde one for every film after The Cocoanuts), top hat, and a comical horn heard in his movies. He was also well known for playing the harp, though he could not read music. Outside the professional harp community, he remains one of the best "ambassadors for the harp" the world has known and one of his harps was donated to an Israeli orchestra. In time, his talent earned him an international reputation as he performed in movies as well as in stage shows around the globe. His musical talent extended to beyond the harp, to piano, clarinet, etc...all mostly learned independent of professional instruction.
Marx was portrayed by the actor J.M. Henry in the film Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle.
Marx was portrayed by actor Daniel Fortus in the Broadway production of Minnie's Boys, a Broadway musical that ran for 64 performances at the Imperial Theatre from March to May 1970. The show focused on the early days of the Marx Brothers' act and the importance of their mother Minnie's strong hand in guiding and molding them into a successful vaudeville and film comedy team.
Actress Patricia Lopez played Harpo in a send-up of Hollywood movie making, the 1980 Broadway production, "A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine", for which she won a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical.

Jonathan Richman references Harpo in his song When Harpo Played His Harp.
Lemon Demon references Harpo Marx in the song Vow of Silence.
Phoebe Snow's Harpo's Blues (1975) was written about "a guy in a band who became Harpo Marx ... he wouldn't talk, and his eyes would roll around ... "
Awards and honors
In the 1974 Academy Awards telecast, Jack Lemmon presented Groucho with an honorary Academy Award to a standing ovation. The award was also on behalf of Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo, whom Lemmon mentioned by name. It was one of Groucho's final major public appearances. "I wish that Harpo and Chico could be here to share with me this great honor," he said, naming the two deceased brothers (Zeppo and Gummo were still alive at the time). Groucho also praised the late Margaret Dumont as a great straight woman who never understood any of his jokes.

There are many EMI shielding materials to choose from when determining how to effectively control EMI within an electronic device. In this post, we focus on die-cut foil tapes for EMI shielding. Foil tapes with conductive adhesive provide effective shielding properties as the thin foil layer ensures good electrical contact with the component surface. Let's take a look deeper at EMI and why foil tapes may be the best-suited material for your application.
What is EMI and Why is it Important?
Electromagnetic interference is unwanted “noise” or interference in an electrical path or circuit caused by an outside source. EMI can be caused by natural or man-made sources and can cause electronics to malfunction or to completely stop working. Therefore, EMI shielding and grounding components are important pieces in the design of electronic devices.
