Easy to use and easier to clean
Ceramic enamel serves up an easy-to-clean, hygienic, and durable interior. The exceptionally smooth inside surface makes it effortless to wipe off grease and oil, and the benefits of the ceramic enamel have been certified by the Hohenstein Institute in Germany, because it inhibits bacteria*. Ceramic enamel is scratch-and rust-resistant and unlike plastic, it doesn’t discolor due to high-cooking temperatures or excessive cleaning. *Antimicrobial properties are built-in or applied as a coating to inhibit the growth of bacteria that may affect this product. The antimicrobial properties do not protect users or others against bacteria, viruses, germs or other disease organisms. Clean this product thoroughly before and after each use. Read the user manual carefully before cleaning this product. * Independent 3rd party test was conducted on the antimicrobial enamel in microwave model GS 89F-S. The test was conducted based on the ISO 22196:2007-10 standard.
Sensors help cook your recipes to perfection
Food freshness and oven type — microwave, convection, grill, or a combination — are two factors that can affect a recipe’s cooking time, often leading to guesswork. Samsung’s SmartSensor technology automatically detects the humidity level of your food, and then sets the optimal cooking time and power. So whether you’re roasting a chicken, heating a frozen dinner, or cooking fresh vegetables, dishes come out perfectly, every time.

Growing cannabis outdoors in a hot and dry environment has certain difficulties. You can’t expect all strains to flourish equally well in such harsh surroundings. Some cannabis genes, on the other hand, have adaptability that allows them to thrive in hotter and drier areas than usual. We put our strains through a number of tests to see how they perform in various conditions. So, if you’re searching for some tried-and-true autoflower cannabis seeds or feminised desert cannabis strains seeds to cultivate in a heat wave, this is the place to be!
What are the influences of a hot climate with low humidity on cannabis?
Many plants can be severely dehydrated if they are exposed to hot, dry conditions. Certain strains are more susceptible than others. On the other hand, certain strains can withstand even severe heat and desiccation and produce high-quality crops. Starting with the greatest plant genetics for such a scenario guarantees that your plants will be able to endure lengthy periods of hot/dry desert weather.
If you have an outdoor garden, the plants may be receiving insufficient water. However, if the soil is dry and sandy, nutrition may be a problem. The following strains can withstand these situations, but do your best to improve the soil as much as possible when growing outside. In regions with little rainfall, intense sunshine is often constant.
A hot and dry climate cannabis grower may profit from their ability to cultivate with hardy, long-lived genes that do not wilt.
Best cannabis seeds to grow in a hot dry climate
Many outside producers choose sativa cannabis seeds as the best alternative in hot and arid regions. Many will be outstanding choices that perform well.
Sativa strains thrive in warmer, wetter, and more humid environments, while indica seeds are often superior in their natural “jungle” habitat. If you want to germinate cannabis seeds in a hot, dry environment, certain indica strains may be an excellent choice. All of the Dutch Passion strains listed below are powerful, trustworthy indicas that have proven success among outdoor producers in hot, dry regions.
The following four strains have all shown to flourish in hot, dry climates. The photoperiod feminised seed is frequently available, although the autoflowering strain is also an option.
Mazar Desert Cannabis Strains
Mazar is a high-THC strain with a THC concentration of 23%. She’s one of the most powerful indica strains around, thanks to her high THC content. These cannabis cup-winning strains are particularly well-suited to surviving hot weather in low humidity conditions. This implies that, in a hot European (or North American) heatwave, where temperatures soar, Mazair will outperform than she would in steamy, humid jungle environments.
The Afghani Kush strains’ resistance to cold night temperatures makes them an ideal choice for indoor growers in hot climates. If you’re an indoor grower in a hot climate, Mazar is a fantastic alternative. Just make sure your RH levels are kept as low as possible throughout the remainder of the bloom cycle.
Auto Mazar is a respected breeder of heat-resistant autoflowering cannabis strains who should be considered by growers looking for heat-tolerant plants. Auto Mazar works well both inside and outside. The Mazar/Auto Mazar marijuana strains have taken home several cannabis cups.
Even throughout the hot and arid growing season, these marijuana seeds have been examined and demonstrated to withstand years of harsh conditions. They also include high THC levels, which are robust enough to please connoisseurs searching for more potency.
Master Kush Desert Cannabis Strains
If you live in a hot, dry climate and long for the unparalleled quiet and tranquility that comes with excellent Kush, Master Kush feminised cannabis seeds are what you’re looking for. In 2017, Master Kush won the Highlife Cup, which is regarded as one of Europe’s most distinguished competitions.
She was also given the title of Best Kush at a cannabis cup event in 2018. The judges praised her unique, hashy terpene profile and relaxing, anti-anxiety effects.
The original Kush strain, which is wonderfully enjoyable, has it all: the body and the soul. This eternally happy original Kush strain is fully medicated. If you love the effects of a cannabis cup-winning Kush in a hot, dry environment ahead of you, Master Kush has some fantastic ideas!
Banana Blaze Desert Cannabis Strains
Banana Blaze is a powerful indica strain developed by Sensi Seeds for those who have long, hot summers. It’s an old-school, hardy, and durable indica strain with a delicious banana taste. Banana Blaze seeds come from Afghani Kush, one of the fathers of cannabis seed varieties.
These are for robust and hardy plant characteristics that are naturally predisposed to thrive in a variety of environments. Banana Blaze is particularly well suited to hot, dry weather with low humidity. This indica has a tremendous canopy potential and is actually forgiving.
She grows a high-yielding crop of extremely potent cannabis in locations where other strains would fail. She is simple to grow, even in the hottest and steamiest of summers.
Banana Blaze is a popular sweet indica strain with a banana taste that cannabis connoisseurs will enjoy growing.
The Royal Queen is the queen of all auto-flowering cannabis strains. This Mr Nice Seeds autoflower strain is certain to satisfy, generating high yields with a lot of THC. It has a delicious flavor and smells like bananas when ripe. Auto Banana Blaze, one of the greatest hot-weather autoflowering cannabis seeds, takes about 12 weeks to develop from seed to fruition, but it produces big harvests while keeping THC levels consistent.
Night Queen Desert Cannabis Strains
The Autoflower Queen is one of the quickest-maturing autoflower strains. She generally blooms in 10 weeks after planting an autoflowering cannabis seed.
The Incredible Melting Ice Queen is a powerful Indica mix bred by the legendary Sensi Seeds. The strain has won multiple awards and was selected to be part of the Rock Star cannabis seeds collection. The original version was named after one of Sensi’s medical patients, via its creator. -> If you want to produce your marijuana fast and with lots of THC, then the Amazing Night Queen auto-flowering strains are ideal. The genes are naturally robust, belonging to the Afghani Kush cannabis seed collection.
Auto Night Queen is a strong strain if you live in a hot, dry environment! Auto Night Queen took home the 2016 Highlife Cannabis Cup (Auto-flower seed category) in the Autoflower category after winning the 2016 Highlife Cannabis Cup (Autoflower seed category).
Blackberry Kush Desert Cannabis Strains
One of the most popular strains in Colorado is Blackberry Kush, which is why it’s no surprise that this potent mix comprises of a high percentage of Indica. It’s stunning to look at and has an exquisite scent, as well as everything a quality-conscious grower in a hot/dry climate could want.
She is also one of the quickest auto-flowering strains available. Some phenotypes can be harvested in as little as 9 weeks after germination.
Many of the plants’ buds will be dark blue/purple in color, with delightful dark fruit/berry scents and aromas. The Auto Blackberry Kush seeds are from the Blue cannabis seed category, which includes Blueberry as well as other strains.
Hot and dry climate cannabis growing basic tips
When the weather is hot and dry, you’ll need to do all possible to make your plants’ development as easy and stress-free as feasible.
- Regular watering will be essential
- When the weather becomes scorching, you may need to shield your plant from the sun or move it to a more temperate or cooler location.
- Dark-colored plant containers in direct sunshine can cook the root ball, so avoid using them. To assist, place the container inside a white/reflective covering.
- Place your plant in a bright, sunny place or on a cool, humid environment. On hot surfaces like black tiles or others, avoid putting it outside in an outside container.
- Plants will recover when relocated to cooler surroundings and given water after a heat-related wilting. Water is frequently provided in the morning and at night by givers. Avoid putting your plants outside in pots, such as over a scorching hot weekend, because they may be damaged.
Many cannabis growers in hot and dry areas grow their plants straight in the earth rather than using pots. If the soil is wet and nutrient-dense, your cannabis plant may deal with it (and with more flexibility) than it would in a tiny container. Water absorbing gel crystals for soil may help retain huge quantities of moisture at root level.
The use of slow-release organic nutrients, such as those from BioTabs, is also common among many successful outdoor gardeners. This makes feeding easier by reducing the amount of bloom nutrients required.
Auto Blueberry, a descendant of Northern Lights X, and Blueberry, a Skunk #1 derivative, are among the highest-THC indica strains. These will provide better results in hot and dry conditions than other high-THC indica strains. Cannabis may be cultivated successfully in a hot and dry climate if the right seeds are used.

“The area from Kintetsu Nara Station to JR Nara Station is full of unique shops and is a good place for eating and shopping. When you walk southward about 15 minutes from Kintetsu Nara Station thorough the shopping mall, you will arrive at Naramachi. This area around World Heritage Gango-ji Temple was a merchant district that prospered along with the temple. Common people’s houses that were built from the 19th to 20th centuries still remain, surrounded by narrow allays, which creates a pleasing nostalgic atmosphere.
Gengo-ji Temple is an old temple. Its origin is the Hoko-ji Temple that was one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Asuka village in Nara Prefecture and was moved to this location in 718.
Imanishi-ke Shoin is a typical shoin-style building built in the Muromachi period (1336-1573) and its Japanese-style garden is also splendid.
Naramachi Koshi no Ie is a replica of a traditional house of Naramachi. You can see the structure of the house and how commoners lived in olden days. It has a wonderful lattice structure through which you can well see outside from inside of the house, but you can’t well see inside from outside.”

Schistosomiasis is one of the important neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in Tanzania, particularly in Lake Victoria zone. This baseline survey was a part of the main study of integrated control of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) aimed at describing morbidity patterns due to intestinal schistosomiasis among adults living on Kome Island, Sengerema District, Tanzania. Total 388 adults from Kome Islands (about 50 people from each village) aged between 12 and 85 years, were examined by abdominal ultrasound according to the Niamey protocol. Liver image patterns (LIPs) A and B were considered normal, and C-F as distinct periportal fibrosis (PPF). The overall prevalence of PPF was 42.2%; much higher in males than in females (47.0% in male vs 34.4% in females, P=0.007). Abnormal increase of segmental branch wall thickness (SBWT) and dilated portal vein diameter (PVD) were also more common in males than in females. Hepatosplenomegaly was frequently encountered; 68.1% had left liver lobe hepatomegaly and 55.2% had splenomegaly. Schistosoma mansoni-related morbidity is quite high among adults in this community justifying the implementation of integrated control strategies through mass drug administration, improved water supply (pumped wells), and health education that had already started in the study area.

The current economy makes the whole question of recession, especially in the technical sense, pointless.
The classic recession, the one that so many fruitlessly seek in the data, typically centers on business.
Outside real estate, business faces none of the classic signs of recession. It has few excesses in either inventories or past acquisitions of equipment or structures. There is no need for a correction of any magnitude. Outside the financial sector, business balance sheets and even income statements are in good shape, even if they are not growing as rapidly as previously. What is more, the dollar's long decline on foreign exchange markets has improved the ability of domestic manufacturers and other firms to export and compete against imports. If there is no great inducement for expansion, there are no pressing needs for sudden cutbacks, either.
The only aspect of today's environment that is even vaguely like the typical recession is the pattern in residential real estate. Given the monumental excesses reached in residential real estate, the correction will persist for some time to come. Since it is unlikely that mortgage rates will fall any further or that terrified financial institutions will ease newly tightened lending standards, it will take until well into 2009 for the correction to run its course.
Then there is the household sector. In addition to a response to real estate losses, the main issue here is the need to correct for decades of excessive reliance on debt. Debt loads today exceed incomes by 20% or more, depending on how calculated, whereas some 10 years ago that figure stood closer to 80% of income. No doubt, responsible heads of households, now awakened to their predicament, would like to cut back quickly on their outlays, repay some to this debt and correct the imbalance. Unlike business, they cannot lay off some of their dependents or deny the family necessities or even some luxuries. Households, then, will need to make their adjustments differently from how business typically has, dealing with their past excesses more gradually, certainly by forgoing any additional borrowing, perhaps by making minor cutbacks where and when they can, and by using a portion of any additional income to repay debt instead of using it to increase spending, as they might have in the past.
Because the consumer will move more gradually than business would, the economy will undergo a longer, shallower period of adjustment, something very different from the classic, business-driven correction. The much-respected Institute of Supply Management survey sees no recession but also indicates little growth. The employment reports signal neither much hiring nor many layoffs.
The bears keep looking for signs of the steep economic slide typical of many past recessions, and the bulls keep looking for the typical signs of recovery. As both decry the lack of clarity in the data, they miss the fundamental message. The economy is dealing with something atypical.
Instead of the usual, sharp, business-based corrections of the past, today's economy faces a gradual consumer-based correction that promises an extended period of subpar growth.
At the current slow pace of correction, it could take years even to begin to address the debt overhang and longer still to bring relative debt loads back to historical norms. Meanwhile, those who seek a classic recession will remain frustrated, as will those who seek a classic recovery. They will fail to find the particular clarities they seek. Meanwhile, the data make the message of this underlying economic situation crystal clear.
The circumstances will make new demands on individual and institutional investors, perhaps especially plan sponsors. Even after the longer-term contours of this environment become apparent and today's volatility settles down, equities generally should offer returns that are short of the past benchmarks on which so many actuarial assumptions and risk control models are based. Meanwhile, these circumstances offer no special relief for interest rates and the present value of liabilities.

On Wednesday, the Los Angeles City Council voted to officially replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the measure to replace Columbus Day was passed with a 14-1 vote, but was met with opposition by the Italian community.
Ann Potenza, president of Federated Italo-Americans of Southern California, said, “On behalf of the Italian community, we want to celebrate with you,” however, “we just don’t want it to be at the expense of Columbus Day.”
Councilman Joe Buscaino, who is a first-generation American from Italy, proposed creating a holiday to celebrate “all of the diverse cultures in the city.” He stated, “All of our individual cultures matter,” and asked the other members of the city council to refrain from trying to “cure one offense with another.”
Buscaino’s measure to change the name of Columbus Day to something inclusive of all cultures, and also and celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day on Aug. 9, was defeated 11-4.
Chrissie Castro, vice chairwoman of the Los Angeles City-County Native American Indian Commission, said the point of getting rid of Columbus Day would be to “dismantle a state-sponsored celebration of genocide of indigenous peoples.”
“To make us celebrate on any other day would be a further injustice,” she continued.
Councilman Mitch O’Farrell, who happens to be a member of the Wyandotte Nation tribe, said changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day is a form of “restorative justice.” He also said it would be righting a “historical wrong.”
Councilman Mike Bonin, who the LA Times notes is the great-grandson of Italian immigrants, called Columbus Day an affront to his Italian heritage and those who came to America to “build something and not to destroy something.”
He said, “This gesture of replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day is a very small step in apologizing and in making amends.”
O’Farrell dispelled the notion that the move was anti-Italian.
“We are not creating a racial conflict,” he said. “We are ending one.”
Like Columbus Day, the new Indigenous Peoples Day will be a paid holiday for city employees.

We are open again! Welcome!
Augustiner Zur Schranke
The old city of Nuremberg is situated within the, still visible, fortifications, and it is divided into two parts by the river Pegnitz. Sebald is the name of the northern part, which is located at the foot of the castle, and the area south of the river is called Lorenz. During the reign of the Salier in the 11th century, the construction of the castle started and it became a base for the rulers. During the time of the Staufer in the 12th century, the castle was extended and a so-called burgus (fort), the core of a settlement, developed below the sandstone ridge which mainly covered the areas of Sebald and Egidien. The main main route through the town was the link from the Innere Laufer Gasse via the Theresienstraße and the Albrecht-Dürer- Platz up to the Tiergärtnertor, which was the main gate in the North West area of Nuremberg. In the late 13th century, it provided direct access to the trading routes to Würzburg and Frankfurt via Erlangen and Bamberg.
In the year 1632 a restaurant named “Zur Schranke“ was first documented, and it was located opposite the Tiergärtnertor and East of the Albrecht Dürer House, on the plot of Tiergärtnertor 3.
The Augustiner Brewery Munich is the oldest brewery in the heart of Munich. Since 1328, the brewery aspires to produce beer of the highest quality. Brew masters decide, together with the local farmers, the cultivation of exquisite types of rye, which are then turned into malt in a malt-house owned by the brewery. High quality hops from the Hallertau guarantee a unique taste. In accordance with the Bavarian beer ‘purity requirements’, the reliable traditional brewing methods - together with a long and gentle ripening process - allow the beer enough time to develop its unique character. We only produce selected types of beer, which are described in detail on the central pages of the menu. Our focus is on tradition; that is why we invest in our brewery owned restaurants and continue serving our beer from wooden barrels at the Octoberfest.

About the Nereda® WWTP at Westfort
Nereda was selected by Netherlands-based Westfort Meatproducts for one of the world’s most innovative, sustainable and animal welfare respecting pig slaughterhouses. With its small footprint, sustainability, low energy use and robustness the Nereda technology fits perfectly with the needs of Westfort. Royal HaskoningDHV was responsible for detail engineering, delivery, installation and start-up of the Nereda wastewater treatment installation, Promad for civil engineering and project management and RWB built the installation.
The Nereda technology was implemented in two rectangular, completely covered concrete tanks, with a technical area on top of the tanks and a parking deck at the roof of this technical area. The work was completed mid-November 2015. Because Westfort immediately needed a good effluent quality granular sludge of the Nereda installation in Garmerwolde and of the pilot plant in Utrecht was used for the start-up. This approach seemed successful in the first week. Royal HaskoningDHV is following the treatment process real time by using a tailor made AquaSuite® Nereda Controller.

- WHAT IS IT SKATEPARK
- HOW TO START?
- SKATEPARK PROJECTS
THE PURPOSE OF CREATION IS TO GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION, WHAT ACTION CAN BE TAKEN TO HOW BEST TO TALK WITH OFFICIALS AND INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF BUILDING A SKATEPARK IN YOUR AREA
California is the home of skateboarding. This is where, as legend has it, surfers Af wheels of roller skates to surfboards and skateboarding was born. Until now held there and live the biggest events of the sport's biggest stars.
The first skateparks were created in the mid seventies. Frequently the first skatepark is given Carlsbad Park in California. It was opened in March 1976, however, shortly before the Australian Open in Albany was another skatepark, and he deserves to be called first. Furthermore, in contrast to Carlsbad Park, skatepark of Albany operates today. It is worth mentioning that it was a result of efforts of a local group of young people who are organized and pushed for local authorities to provide them with a place to practice their favorite sport. Young people not only persuaded the authorities to build, but also very collected and spent $ 6000 on it. The opening of the first, specifically designed for skateboard park, skateboard champion then drew Russ Howl and numerous media from around the world. Since that time, around the globe the thousands of large and small skateparks. Although California is a Mecca for skateboarders, the largest skatepark is currently in China. Skatepark in Shanghai, was built in October 2005, covers an area of 13 700 m2.
For the Polish skateboarding came very late and actually only a few years we can talk about the dynamic driving the growing popularity of skateboarding, rollerblading and BMX. Although the delay is still very large, and a good, big Skateparks are still rare, the situation continues to improve. Currently in Poland there are over 200 skateparks, from small, consisting of two raids and one, two obstacles, the biggest and Depot 31 in Wroclaw, in Białołęka skatepark in Warsaw and Poznan "The Island". As in Poland is still far from decent driving conditions can be proved by the following fact: according to the Tony Hawk Foundation, which aims to build skateparks, skate park has an average of about 930 m2, with a minimum should be more than 700 m2. Meanwhile in Poland, the vast majority of skateparks is much smaller. The largest skatepark, the Wroclaw Depot, covers an area of 2400 m2.

Cloud strategy is a top priority for nearly every organization today. The shift to the cloud has created tremendous opportunities, but also introduced new risks that must be managed. Many leaders who raced to adopt the cloud now want to know what it will take to be as secure in their cloud deployments as they are on-premises.
Much of achieving the goal relies on two industry categories for cloud security technologies. Analyst firm Gartner refers to them as Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP).
CSPM platforms help to define, configure, and monitor the state of cloud workloads and infrastructure deployments. CSPM capabilities are fundamental to be able to manage change and detect abnormal activity across all of an organization’s large-scale cloud assets. CWPPs, on the other hand, help protect cloud native workloads, including container- and microservices-based applications.
Ensuring consistent, effective security across the many cloud environments organizations are running on today requires a platform that enables both CWPP and CSPM capabilities. Namely, it requires understanding the baseline of what is deployed and how it should work, and then being able to detect abnormalities while protecting applications and data.
Keys to elevating cloud security posture
Organizations should examine several vital areas when seeking to improve cloud security posture:
- File integrity monitoring: This is a cornerstone capability for application and data workload security—making sure files are not modified in unexpected or unauthorized ways.
- Microsegmentation: This is a best practice for cloud environments because in the cloud, the perimeter is not defined by a single ingress point that a single firewall can protect. With cloud native applications that have been decomposed into microservices, there is a need to minimize the attack surface. Microsegmentation accomplishes this by segmenting a virtual cloud network into small, well-defined slices with precise rules and policy for access.
- DevSecOps: Shifting security into the earliest stages of development can also help improve cloud security posture. With DevSecOps, security testing and compliance are integrated as code is developed, rather than vulnerability assessments being performed at the end of the application development process.
- Permissions management: This is a challenge many organizations face in the cloud. How many times have we all seen public reports of AWS S3 cloud storage buckets left open and exposed to the internet? Often, users will use overly permissive identity and access management (IAM) roles just because it’s easier than defining fine-grained access controls and permissions for resources. Tighter permissions are simply required for effective security.
Security is a key component of the cloud operating model
An increasingly common way to manage cloud deployments is with a cloud operating model that defines how services are deployed and managed. The cloud operating model enables organizations to represent all aspects of cloud infrastructure as code (IaC).
Security should not be thought of as an independent layer in a cloud operating model. It has to be integrated at every layer to enable the most secure posture possible.
A common approach for enabling IaC is with a tool such as HashiCorp’s Terraform or an AWS CloudFormation template. These resource templates can define how a service should be deployed. It’s critical that organizations manage and inspect these templates to make sure the default configuration for a service is secure and has the right network configuration and proper permissions to limit risk. By defining the optimal secure policy and integrating that into a cloud operating model, it’s possible to improve cloud security posture.
Be prepared for the cloud
Oftentimes, I tell CXOs that their security objectives haven’t changed with the cloud. Many of the best practices in the cloud match what has been done on-premises, with fundamental concepts like protecting the perimeter and assigning least-privileged access to resources.
What has changed, however, is the scale and dynamism of the cloud and how that impacts security. Sure, some of the practices are similar, but how we facilitate it is different. We must react faster, and we need to be more proactive. There is a clear need to have platform capabilities that automate best practices, operate at cloud scale, and are ready to act at cloud speed.
So, ultimately, what I offer to leaders is this: what you need to do for effective security in the cloud hasn’t changed, but how you do it must.

Nominated for six Golden Globes and seven Emmys, including Outstanding Series - Comedy, Sanford And Son became one of the first shows in television history to be almost entirely centered around African-American characters. Modeled after the British TV show Steptoe And Son, the series showcased the underappreciated talents of comic genius Redd Foxx (whose skin color and bad language prevented him from becoming a superstar decades earlier). The brainchild of All In The Family creator Norman Lear, Sanford And Son signaled the beginning of a decade of sitcom classics for the prolific 1970's TV writer - Maude (1972), Good Times (1974), and The Jeffersons (1975) being the others. Wrought with memorable one-liners and well-timed humor, Sanford And Son was a Top 10 Nielsen rated show every year in which it aired except for its final season (ranking a respectable #27)?
Sanford And Son, set in the Watts district of Los Angeles, follows the life of Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx), a 65-year-old African-American junk dealer who shares his business with his 34-year-old son Lamont (Demond Wilson). With Fred's wife Elizabeth having passed away twenty years earlier, he often evokes Lamont's sympathy by clutching his heart and proclaiming, "Oh, I'm coming to join you Elizabeth!" But Fred always survives those near fatal heart attacks, continuing to disperse sarcastic putdowns (often directed at his sister-in-law Esther) and racist stereotypical remarks aimed against whites and Hispanics (especially Lamont's friend Julio). Using guilt to manipulate his ambitious son into staying and helping run the salvage shop instead of pursuing other endeavors, Fred Sanford spends most of his days lounging around the house (his junk store and home are one and the same) and hanging out with his friends - Grady, Melvin, and Bubba? Well-written and hilarious, Sanford & Son is comedian Redd Foxx at his absolute best?
The Sanford And Son DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the series premiere "Crossed Swords" in which Lamont purchases a collectible porcelain figure from a silent movie star for $15. When he and Fred get the statuette appraised, they determine that they can fetch a bundle for it if they put it up for auction, but while at the auction, the two decide to pose as buyers to bid up the price, a decision that ends up costing them? Other notable episodes from Season 1 include "The Copper Caper" in which Fred and Lamont purchase their own copper from a man who's been stealing the metal all across town, and "A Pad for Lamont" in which Lamont decides to move into his own apartment for privacy reasons. At first, Fred is upset - until he learns he enjoys having some time to himself?

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for yourself is take a vacation. The stagnation of workaday life, with its sameness, its stresses and obligations, can leave you feeling depressed or anxious. It isn’t so much an isolated incident – a rough patch in a relationship or a personal failure at work – but an accumulation of stress and a lack of excitement.
Traveling has the power to fix that. According to Psychology Today, research has shown that travel does wonders for one’s mental health. Not only that, but it’s probably the most fun way to take care of yourself – the only remedy that lets you skip work, breathe some fresh air and see exciting parts of the world.
How exactly does travel accomplish the feat of lifting our metal state? As it turns out, it does so in a number of ways.
It Removes You From Your Daily Rut
Perhaps most obviously, travel is beneficial to your mental health because it resituates you. Routine can be a double-edged sword: on the one hand, it allows you to systematize and compartmentalize your life, but on the other hand it can leave you feeling woefully under-stimulated and, frankly, bored. Travel is a potent, natural stimulant – just the shot in the arm you need to get out of a rut.
It Makes You Active, Physically and Mentally
Physical activity has been proven to have an appreciably positive effect on mental health. Not only are the chemical endorphins great for the brain, but the ensuing sense of satisfaction can also be important to your overall feeling of self-worth.
When you travel, you have no choice but to be (at least a little) active. When you travel, walk around and take in your new locale; pack your merino wool clothing to wick away the sweat, and enjoy the feeling of unencumbered activity.
It Lets You Soak in the Sun
Occasionally, improving one’s mental health is simply a case of getting a bit more outdoor time. With modern work the way it is, many people are confined to a desk for the daylight hours, and, subsequently, don’t get enough vitamin D, especially in the winter months. To fix that, take a trip somewhere warm, and soak in the stress-free sunshine.
It Helps Relieve Stress
Work, family (especially around the holidays), and everyday obligations, together can heap on a lot of stress. It can be hard to shake this stress off if you stay at home, but when you travel, it’s easy to leave those stressors behind. Vacations are often premised on self-care – your only obligation is to feel as comfortable and happy as possible – so it can be a powerful tonic against the tensions of regular life.
Ultimately, a trip will be whatever you make of it. If you’re craving communication, a trip can be a great way to socialize with strangers and meet new people. If you want to just tune out, a trip can be a great opportunity for personal self-reflection. The bottom line is that travel has brilliant benefits for mental health.

(1560 kHz) is a Radio Disney
to New York City
. Its transmitter is located in Maspeth, Queens
. WQEW has a transmitter power of 50,000 watts and is listed as a Clear-channel station
. On some nights, WQEW can be picked up loud and clear as far West as Cleveland, Ohio
, where it out performs WWMK
AM 1260 in its distance areas, and as far North as Ottawa, Canada
WQEW began its life as W2XR
, an experimental television station, owned by inventor John V. L. Hogan
, operating at 2100 kHz
, which went on the air on March 26, 1929. In 1933, the Federal Communications Commission
added three "high-fidelity" channels to the radio dial, which at that time ended at 1500 kHz. Hogan received a license for one of these channels, 1550 kHz, and W2XR began to broadcast classical music
recordings in addition to mechanical television
; a year later, the television broadcasts ceased and W2XR became a radio station exclusively.
In 1936, Hogan and Elliott Sanger
formed the Interstate Broadcasting Company, with the intention of turning W2XR into a commercial station. On December 3, 1936, W2XR became WQXR
—the cursive form of the letter "Q"
mimicks the number "2"
. An FM service, W2XQR
, was added in 1939. The North American Radio Broadcasting Agreement
of 1941 formally extended the AM band
to 1600 kHz, ending the "high-fidelity"... Read More

Who is Made in Whose Image?
Christian evangelicals sometimes reference man's connection to God by saying that man is made in the image of God. That comes from this reference, in Genesis 1:26,27: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
Googling the phrase 'image of God' can find many discussions as to its meaning. It is certainly not immediately clear how man, a physical being, somehow has the image of a supernatural God who must have no physical presence (or then God would be a person, not a supernatural entity). Later in Genesis 5:1-3 the terms are used again: "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth."
This section uses the same English terms of likeness and image for linking God to Adam and then linking Adam to Adam's son Seth. The literal interpretation of the usage of "image" seems to be that God was a person just like Adam. Since Christian theologians and leaders wish that God remain supernatural, this logical explanation must be discounted. Instead "a 'widely accepted interpretation' is that the 'image' is our ability to make moral decisions, which involve self-awareness and social awareness."
Certainly man exhibits the use of reasoning not seen in simpler animals. However I question whether those few animals with a brain capacity similar to that of man, like dolphins and apes, might also exhibit a level of reasoning.
However, according the story of Genesis, man could not initially distinguish between good and evil. In Genesis 3:5, the serpent tells Eve: "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." Only after Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (first mentioned in Genesis 2:9, before Adam and Eve are created by name in Genesis 3) were they able to make moral decisions, those involving good and evil.
Putting aside such obvious inconsistencies at the start of Genesis, generally the phrase "image of God" is assumed to be in some way a statement that man had been given some qualities similar to those of God.
According to the Vatican, "For the Bible, the imago Dei constitutes almost a definition of man: the mystery of man cannot be grasped apart from the mystery of God." However, the rest of this dissertation tries to bring New Testament events and the life of Jesus into interpreting the phrase 'image of God' from Genesis. I am left without an understanding of what the writer of Genesis meant at the time the book was written. The apparent requirement to invoke subsequent works to interpret the first one implies the context for the first one must be unclear to the Vatican. Perhaps this is because in Genesis the terms image and likeness were applied to both Adam and then to his son thereby indicating the terms applied to physical features or characteristics, not inherent properties of human beings in a social structure (or "communion," the term used many times in this Vatican document). Since this Vatican document quickly diverges from imago Dei to imago Christi, there is very little about the context of book of Genesis.
What is the common image of God for a Christian? What is the mystery of God?
The ancient Jews lived in the Middle East amidst the Egyptians, ruled by hereditary dynasties headed by Pharaohs, the Persians, also ruled by hereditary dynasties, and the Babylonian Empire. Sigmund Freud wrote a book that made a connection between the Egyptians, the Jews and the Jewish religion, titled Moses and Monotheism (a book from 1939 that I have never read but is certainly relevant in that others have suggested this connection). The image of God that the early Jews developed was based on the template provided by these political rulers. A Pharaoh is an absolute, all powerful, all providing ruler. That simple definition is just like the common "image of God" commonly expressed in Christianity. The image of God as elaborated in the Biblical texts is just an extension of the Jewish culture and their political environment. Both Christianity and Islam also use the Old Testament books among their holy scriptures and have a similar image of God or Allah.
The other major ancient religions of the world arose within a different political environment. China did not unite within a large kingdom or empire until the 3rd century BC which is also a time that Confucianism took hold. Confucius was a philosopher that had lived several centuries earlier. This sage was not a prophet pushing a religion brought to humanity from a supernatural source, unlike the writers of the Old Testament. Confucianism is one of the influences of Chinese folk religion, considered the fourth largest religion in the world. Another significant influence is Taoism, the philosophy started by Lao Tzu who is one of the main authors of the Tao Te Ching.
India for much of its early history was not an empire or kingdom but was rather a number of small kingdoms and city states (see history of India and the 16 Mahajanapadas). Buddhism has been characterized as more of a philosophy and a way of life than a religion though it is considered the world's fifth largest religion. Hinduism is a religion that originated on the Indian subcontinent, is considered is the oldest living religion in the world and is currently the third largest religion in the world (citations in Wikipedia). Hinduism does not have one monolithic supernatural being like the God of the Old Testament that expects His Ten Commandments to be followed. For example, "God is called Brahman. Brahman is the Absolute reality: it is pure existence and knowledge. Brahman does not exist; it is existence itself."
One of my goals of this web site is to offer different perspectives on subjects that commonly arise in American culture. Having been raised a Catholic (and attending a Catholic grade school), I recall being taught at a young age that the Catholic Church is the one true religion, that the others are not the correct path to God and eternal salvation. However, at that young age I was never taught what all the other religions believed that was different than the beliefs of the Catholic Church, other a brief mention about some of the Christian derivatives that arose during the Reformation, which was a difficult time for the Vatican maintaining control of its dogma. Certainly none of the major religions of Asia were discussed in a Catholic grade school.
Alan Watts, in his book Beyond Theology (written in 1964), pointed out: "The presupposition that one's own religion is, even without examining others, the best and truest of all, however named, stupidity." Anyone claiming theirs is the one and only true religion is showing their arrogance and ignorance.
Supposedly man is made in the image of God and is thereby endowed with a capacity for learning and reasoning. At some point, hopefully very soon, that capacity for reason must be applied toward one's religion, especially the Western religions. In the 21st Century, a number of religious and political leaders are trying to instigate a so-called war of civilizations, a war between the religions of the Christianity and Judaism and the religion of Islam. Extremists on both sides are being allowed to frame this conflict. Many have died and many others are now living in misery (Iraq, Lebanon, Afghanistan, with people in other countries also affected indirectly by acts of terrorism and their retribution, sometimes unjustly). If this insanity is not brought to an end soon, this war based on religious conflicts will bring death and misery to many more. An objective observer cannot but be astounded that such bloodshed achieves the approval of the supernatural God in whose name such acts are justified.

A phishing campaign spoofs Xerox notifications to lure victims into clicking on malicious HTML attachments.
Attackers behind a recently discovered phishing campaign have unintentionally left more than 1,000 stolen credentials available online via simple Google searches, researchers have found.
The campaign, which began in August 2020, used e-mails that spoof notifications from Xerox scans to lure victims into clicking on malicious HTML attachments, according to a report from Check Point Research released Thursday.
Check Point worked with security firm Otorio to uncover the campaign, which managed to bypass Microsoft Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) filtering to steal more than 1,000 corporate credentials, researchers said.
While this is and of itself is not atypical of phishing campaigns, attackers made a “simple mistake in their attack chain” that left the credentials they’d stolen exposed to the “public Internet, across dozens of drop-zone servers used by the attackers,” researchers said.
Usually credentials are the crown jewels of an attack, something threat actors keep for themselves so they can sell them on the dark web for profit or use them for their own nefarious purposes.
However, in this campaign, “with a simple Google search, anyone could have found the password to one of the compromised, stolen email addresses: a gift to every opportunistic attackers,” researchers wrote.
This is because the attackers stored the stolen credentials in designated webpages on compromised servers, said Lotem Finkelsteen, head of threat intelligence for Check Point Software. However, because Google constantly indexes the internet, the search engine also indexed these pages, making them available to anyone who queried Google for a stolen email address.
“The attackers didn’t think that if they are able to scan the internet for those pages — Google can too,” Finkelsteen said in an e-mailed statement. “This was a clear operation security failure for the attackers.”
The campaign started with an email using one of several phishing templates imitating a Xerox notification with the target’s first name or company title in the subject line. The email included an HTML file that, once clicked on, would prompt the user with a lookalike login page for Xerox.
Drop-zone servers used by the campaign were dozens of WordPress websites that hosted malicious PHP pages and would process all incoming credentials from the phishing victims, researchers said.
“While using a specialized infrastructure, the server would run for roughly two months with dozens of XYZ domains,” they noted. “These registered domains were used in the phishing attacks.”
The campaign also not only evaded Microsoft 365 ATP but also most anti-virus protections through its simple use of compromised servers. Attackers also continuously polished and refined their code to create “a more realistic experience so the victims were less likely to have their suspicions aroused, and more likely to provide their login credentials,” researchers noted.
Researchers provided the usual advice to people to avoid getting duped by phishing campaigns, such as reminding them to check domains carefully, be skeptical of unknown senders, think twice before accepting a “special offer,” and use different passwords for different online accounts. Indeed, that last point in particular is still a common mistake that even the most savvy of internet user makes, research has found.

Support and solidarity
What’s in Gabrielle Steinhoff's backpack? “A lime-green bandana,” says the psychology major and co-president of the U of M’s Bandana Project.
The bandana is brightly colored for a reason—it’s a visual signal that she’s a “safe” person to approach about mental health issues and that she carries resource cards showing how and where to find help in times of crisis. It’s also meant to provide unspoken support. “If someone sees a lime-green bandana on the backpack of a stranger, it’s a sign of quiet solidarity,” Steinhoff, ’19, says.
Last year, after hearing about a similar program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, she and fellow students reached out to campus student groups and administration and received funding to bring it to the U of M.
Since the program’s launch in September, about 300 students at the U have committed to tying the bandanas to their backpacks and carrying the resource cards. Steinhoff also has been speaking to high schools and colleges that want to bring the project to their campuses.
Steinhoff, who has a part-time work-study job, is grateful for the Thomas and Elizabeth Merner Undergraduate Scholarship, which allows her to focus on academics and the Bandana Project without having to work a second job.
“Someone has expectations and hopes for me and is willing to invest in my education,” she says of receiving the scholarship. “That’s really uplifting.”

Thanks everyone for posting feedback.
More benchmarking results are available at
the 'plain' SquashFS filesystem.
After performing the tests, I personally recommend to use xz compression
with 1MiB block size, without bcj, on a 'plain' squash filesystem -- this
will lead to a reduction of 142MiB on the ISO, compared to the stock Fedora
31 Workstation x86_64 image.
Alternative compression options, such as Zstd, are also mentioned in the
Select re-packaged ISOs of Fedora 31 Workstation x86-64 is available for

This is very interesting, thank you!
The "CPU user time" should be independent on the number of CPU cores you
have, is that correct? I.e. the number should be always roughly the same,
whether you run it on 1 core, 2 cores or 8 cores, right? I'm asking because
our QA tests often use 1-2 cores for installation, and I assume you used
all your available cores (if I read it correctly, you seem to have a 4 core
system), therefore the "real time" value is applicable just to your system,
but the "cpu user time" should be better comparable to other systems.
How exactly did you measure those numbers, can you please provide
I'm quite surprised that plain squashfs is a bit smaller, but also a bit
slower than squashfs+ext4. Our expectations were that it would be faster.
Looking at compressions, the most interesting results for me are:
-comp xz, without -Xbcj x86 --- cutting CPU time by 50% at the expense of
30MB is awesome
-Xdict-size 1M -b 1M, without -Xbcj x86 (optionally with hardlinking) ---
33% speedup while also saving 110 MB
-comp zstd -Xcompression 15 -b 1M --- blazing fast installation with
cutting CPU time by 80%, but also increasing the size by 150 MB
I'm sure different people will have different priorities regarding size
and installation time, but these are really interesting numbers, thanks for

Counselling Suicidal Clients addresses the important professional considerations when working with clients who are suicidal. The ‘bigger picture’, including legal and ethical considerations and organizational policy and procedures is explored, as is to how practitioners can work with the dynamics of suicide potential in the therapeutic process. The book is divided into six main parts:The changing context of suicideThe prediction-prevention model, policy and ethicsThe influence of the organizationThe client processThe practitioner processThe practice of counseling with suicidal clients
Chapter 3: Suicide Trends and Statistics
Suicide Trends and Statistics
This chapter discusses the difficulties in accurately recording suicide, and the implications for analysing UK and international suicide statistics. An overview of current UK and international suicide trends is presented, with a discussion as to their relevance for counsellors.
The Mental Health Foundation (1997) stated that in 1995 suicide in the UK accounted for 4315 deaths, which averaged at approximately 12 suicides per day. With the inclusion of ‘undetermined deaths’ of 2185 where suicide cannot be ruled out as a possibility these numbers rise to 6500 suicides or an average of 18 deaths per day
The National Service Framework for Mental Health (NSF: Department of Health, 1999b) states that whilst suicide rates in England have fallen by more than ...

Palm Bay mayor, council reject human rights proposal
The mayor and three council members voted against the measure at the end of a 6 1/2-hour meeting.
PALM BAY - Before a crowd of some 500 people, the Palm Bay City Council rejected a "human rights ordinance" that proponents said would protect gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people from discrimination.
The mayor and three council members voted against the ordinance at the end of a 6 1/2-hour meeting that concluded early Friday morning. Council member Michele Paccione, who brought the proposed ordinance before the council, voted for the measure.
Mayor William Capote said he was not pleased with the way the proposed ordinance was presented and that it was not a simple issue that could be adequately evaluated in the short time the council had.
"I got elected to listen to the community," Capote said. "I can't come to a decision in three weeks and 25 pages."
Council member Tres Holton said it was like trying "to create a solution in search of a problem.'
"There really wasn't evidence of an epidemic of discrimination," he said. "It's not rampant in our community. We're a loving community."
The proposed human rights ordinance would have ensured freedom "from all forms of discrimination, including discrimination based on age, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, marital status, familial status, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity and expression."
It was supported by LGBT community and Equality Florida.
No Brevard County municipalities have adopted such an ordinance. Some Florida communities have adopted similar ordinances.
In addition to the 200 people inside the city council chambers, another crowd estimated at more than 300 listened to the meeting on speakers in a plaza outside.
Council member Jeff Bailey said he asked for reports from law enforcement and found that there had been a single incident against a person because of sexual orientation and it wasn't in Palm Bay, but in a nearby community.
"What I hear tonight is that we love one another," he said. "The fact is this isn't a grave issue."
Council member Harry Santiago Jr. said the ordinance was unnecessary because he believes the LGBT community is already protected under federal laws.
"This ordinance would favor one group over another," he said.
Paccione told the audience that she wanted people to know that she did not bring up the issue to hurt anybody. She said she has friends that have been hurt and discriminated against because of their sexual orientation.
"I love all of you," she said. "I love my gay friends and I love my transgender friends. My faith dictates that I treat everyone equally."
The audience, while animated and loud in their applause, were generally respectful of those opposing their view.
Bailey, who called out the names of those signed up to speak, noted that a great majority of the audience spoke out against the proposed ordinance.
The City Council had tabled the ordinance Jan. 19. At the time, several pastors criticized the proposal. Pastors from several churches and denominations, as well as some of their parishioners, spoke out Thursday night against the ordinance.
"We the people are not here against any people," said Ken Delgado, a pastor of The House. "We love all people. We the people demand that you annul the ordinance."
Gina Duncan, a transgender woman who is the transgender inclusion director for Equality Florida, a civil rights organization for the LBGT community, said the struggle will continue.
"We feel encouraged that we are taking the first step to introduce a human rights ordinance to Brevard County," Duncan said . "It's the first step in raising awareness. Times are changing. Brevard is a little behind in catching up to understanding the importance of having equality legislation."
Robin Bailey, who said she is a transgender woman, said that few people are aware that a transgender can be fired from their job.
"You need to align yourself with what is already in place" elsewhere, she said.
Proponents said the ordinance is important to ensure that all individuals within the City of Palm Bay have equal access to employment, housing and public accommodations. The said they knew it would be a difficult fight in Palm Bay.
"We're extremely disappointed," Frances Speegle said.
Roger Hayward, a photographer, said he opposed the ordinance because he fears being forced to photograph events that are against his moral values.
"I'm not here to oppose anyone or take away anybody's rights," Hayward said. "We just want to know that this ordinance is not going to discriminate against our convictions."
In the end, those opposed gave a loud ovation to as the vote was taken.
"I had a feeling it was going to go in this direction because of the community," said Fred Platt, a retiree who attended the meeting with his wife, Beverly Platt. "I think it was the right decision."

The term ‘user’, as typically used in information technology, refers to a physical, living, breathing person who interacts with or uses the software. This is the most frequent answer given when one asks a developer “what is a user?” The terminology problem with the word ‘user’ arises because the function point use of the word has a wider meaning. The Counting Practices Manual defines user as:
“User. A user is any person that specifies Functional User Requirements and/or any person or thing that communicates or interacts with the software at any time.”
In other words, for Function Point Counting, users can be people, applications, departments, and other external parties — in short, anything that requires data from or provides data to, the software. Functional “user” requirements include the logical business processes of many “users”. Users can include other software application(s), physical persons, external government bodies, departments, animals (if they trigger a process in the application such as in security systems), things (such as pressure in a pipeline system), — anything that interacts by sending or receiving data across the boundary of the software application.
This difference in meaning can cause some countable functions to be overlooked by developers because they don’t appear to be requirements provided for or by a physical person “user”.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán sent the country’s Jewish community a New Year’s greeting stressing the importance of the role they played in the country throughout the centuries and praising the heritage they represent, Orbán’s press secretary Bertalan Havasi told national news agency MTI on Thursday.
“On the occasion of Rosh Hashanah, I would like to wish all my Jewish compatriots a sweet new year full of less difficulty and more joy!” Orbán wrote in a letter to András Heisler, president of the Association of Jewish Communities in Hungary; Slomo Köves, senior rabbi of the United Hungarian Jewish Community; Eduárd Deblinger, president of the Hungarian Autonomous Orthodox Jewish Community; and György Szabó, president of the Hungarian Jewish Community.
In his greeting, Orbán said that the beginning of the new year is always a symbol of hope, and in this trying time for all the inhabitants of the Earth, there is an urgent need to look forward to a new year.
Hungary — although often blamed by liberal western politicians for anti-Semitism based on false claims while ignoring contradictory data — has been supporting the country’s 100,000-strong Jewish community and backing Israel in all international forums, including the European Union.
Within the space of a year, Hungary has opened three new synagogues mostly built from central budget funds and has fully renovated three other synagogues in Szenc, Szeged and Szombathely.
According to the Gregorian calendar, the Jewish New Year arrived on Sept. 19, effectively at sunset on Sept. 18. According to the Jewish calendar, the first and second day of the month of Tishri is the synagogue New Year, the anniversary of the creation of the world and man, when they also remember the creation of man and his dependence on God.
The Jewish calendar now turns the page to the year 5,781.

How can I set file to be executable only to other users but not readable/writable, the reason for this I’m executing something with my username but I don’t want to give out the password. I tried :
I’m wondering about the way Linux manages shared libraries. (actually I’m talking about Maemo Fremantle, a Debian-based distro released in 2009 running on 256MB RAM).
The example I have is Minecraft. When running Bukkit on Linux I can remove or update the .jar files in the /plugins folder and simply run the ‘reload’ command.
I am trying to understanding the concept of special files on Linux. However, having a special file in
/dev seems plain silly when its function could be implemented by a handful of lines in C to my knowledge.
What are the different methods to run a non-nixos executable on NixOs? I’d like to see also the manual methods.
Brace yourselves, this question will likely appear naive and/or foolish, seeing as I am relatively new to the inner workings of unix like systems, and programming in general.
I made a backup to an NTFS drive, and well, this backup really proved necessary. However, the NTFS drive messed up permissions. I’d like to restore them to normal w/o manually fixing each and every file.
Whenever I create or copy few shell files to usb storage device, then I am not able to make them executable.
I’ve recently purchased a usb stick which I will be using to share data between me and my colleagues.

Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique for Treating Gum Recession
Minimally Invasive Gum Recession Treatment
Gum recession not only ages a smile and face, it can also weaken your teeth, causing sensitivity, root damage and even tooth loss.
Traditional gum recession surgery involves a gum graft, where tissue is harvested from another area in the mouth and stitched into place to cover the receded areas. This type of surgery can only address a limited number of teeth per session, and the treatment sites take considerable time to heal. Our doctors offer a minimally invasive alternative with the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™).
PST is a comfortable, scalpel-free and suture-free technique for treating gum recession. If you have been avoiding treatment for gingival recession due to fear or inconvenience, this could be your ideal solution.
What Is the Pinhole Surgical Technique
With this procedure, Dr. Foisie makes a tiny “pinhole” opening near the area of recession and uses a special small hand tool to reposition existing tissue over the affected areas. Collagen strips are then placed under the gums for healing and support. You will experience immediate cosmetic benefits and can return to your normal routine the very same day!
- Minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum recession surgery
- Ability to treat multiple areas at once
- Fast healing and recovery time
- Immediate cosmetic results
- No cutting or stiches are required
- No second surgical site is needed
- Predictable and stable results
- Creates a healthier, more attractive smile
Advanced Training and Experience You Can Trust
As a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Foisie is trained and highly knowledgeable in the Pinhole Surgical Technique as an alternative to more invasive, traditional gum surgery techniques. The long-term success of the treatment has been observed to last for years with uniformly excellent and predictable results.
Effective and Minimally Invasive Gum Restoring Procedure
Although you have the option to treat one area of your mouth at a time, with the Pinhole Surgical Technique, we are able to restore all your areas of recessed gum tissue in just one visit.
Treatment is performed with local anesthetic, and the average amount of time the entire treatment takes is just one to two hours. Typically, the only post-treatment medication you will need is perhaps a couple of Tylenol® to ease any minor discomfort.
In addition to being a very fast and minimally invasive treatment, the results are predictable and stable.
How the Pinhole Surgical Technique Works
First, any affected teeth are thoroughly cleaned and prepared by numbing the gum tissue with a local anesthetic. Next, a tiny, pinhole-sized entry point is made in the gum tissue above the affected tooth.
Dr. Foisie will then use a specially designed instrument to loosen the connective gum tissue in the area. The instrument gently repositions the gum tissue so that it covers the exposed tooth root, restoring the gums to their proper position.
Next, Dr. Foisie will carefully insert tiny collagen strips beneath the repositioned gum tissue. The collagen strips act as structural supports that help to stabilize the new position of the gums. Once this is done, the procedure is complete!
There is little to no postoperative discomfort, and, once finished, you are ready to smile again with confidence!

What kind of water to choose from.
Non-carbonated. In order not to swell like a balloon and not suffer from burping. Besides carbon dioxide, which is used to produce bubbles, acidifies the internal environment, exacerbating the adverse effects resulting lactic acid in the muscles.
Enriched with oxygen or ozone. The need for life-giving gas increases under load. Thanks ozonated mineral water additional portions of the oxygen will be absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive system. Such water invigorates and refreshes your breath, activates the immune system, relieves headaches and fatigue, stabilizes blood pressure, lower blood sugar levels, protects vessels from atherosclerosis, heart - a heart attack, brain - a stroke, accelerates tissue regeneration, rejuvenates the skin and internal authorities.
Therapeutic and dining room - under moderate loads, medical - at large, as with sweat body loses a lot of mineral salts, and they need to be replaced. You can buy a special mineral water gym with a balanced composition and marked "Sport" on the label. Slightly alkaline (hydrokarbonato) - to neutralize the lactic acid type "Essentuki-4", "Borjomi", "Slavyanovskaya", "Smirnoff", "Sairme", "Jermuk". It is recommended to release the gas from it.
After a workout, there is an additional need for water of 1 to 1.5 liters. To prevent dehydration, you need to drink at least two liters of fluid - natural juice, juice, juice, mireralnuyu water without gas, herbal tea. Drinking should not be cold - the body, and so spent a lot of energy. For the same reason you should not have and ice cream.

An installation view of “Kwon Jin Kyu Centennial: Angel of Atelier” at the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA)
When Kwon Jin-kyu (1922-1973) returned to his homeland of Korea in 1959, he was already an acclaimed sculptor in Japan.
At age 37, he left behind many opportunities and headed home to take care of his elderly mother in Korea. He also harbored a strong desire to explore his own art in his homeland.
Kwon pursed the archaic medium of terracotta and lacquer, which were not commonly used for sculptures at the time in Korea. Terracotta is a durable material naturally resistant to mold and bacteria, while lacquer is resistant to decay, humidity and insects.
When seen in person, the sculptures created by Kwon seem alive even today, decades after their creation. Such an impression does not simply come from the materials he chose, but his unique way of portraying his subjects. Kwon referred to himself as more of an artisan than an artist, valuing what he creates using his hands, according to the biography written by Kwon’s nephew, Huh Kyung-hoe.
“Bust Z” by Kwon Jin-kyu is on display at the exhibition “Kwon Jin Kyu Centennial: Angel of Atelier” at the Seoul Museum of Art. (SeMA)
The best known sculpture by Kwon is “Bust Z,” also known as “Ji-won’s Face” in Korean. Made of terracotta, the sculpture is the face of a woman wearing a scarf wrapped around her head staring straight ahead. The 50-centimeter-tall sculpture is as intense as it is serene. Kwon left behind many sculptures, many of which appear androgynous and devoid of sexuality. In fact, many of his works emanate an almost religious quality.
In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the artist’s birth, the Seoul Museum of Art in Jung-gu, central Seoul, is holding an exhibition titled “Kwon Jin Kyu Centennial: Angel of Atelier.” Featuring some 240 artworks and archive materials including those donated by the artist’s family, the show aims to shed light on the artist’s career from the 1950s to the 1970s.
“When Kwon started his artistic career in Korea, the art world was fascinated by abstract art rather than figurative works. But he pursued his own art based on realism,” curator Han Hee-jean told The Korea Herald. “What is special about Kwon is that he did not simply create sculptures that looked identical to the subjects, but tried to manifest the inner world of the subjects.”
While Kwon created many figurative sculptures of humans, including women and self-portraits, he also made sculptures of animals and Buddha statues. The titles of the three sections -- “Wander Forth (1947–1958),” “Self–Discipline (1959–1968)” and “State of Enlightenment (1969–1973)” -- were inspired by Buddhism. Kwon was a Buddhist and his faith influenced his artistic work, the curator said.
“Cruxifixion” by Kwon Jin-kyu is on display at the exhibition “Kwon Jin Kyu Centennial: Angel of Atelier” at the Seoul Museum of Art. (SeMA)
Before leaving the exhibition, visitors may encounter a 140-centimeter-tall sculpture of Jesus, spreading out his hands as if he is on the cross. The sculpture, which was created with Kwon’s lacquer techniques, is known as the largest work by the artist. It was created at the request of a minister from a church near Kwon’s atelier in Seoul. However, the work ended up being stored at Kwon’s atelier, as the minister did not like how the work turned out dark and rough due to Kwon’s lacquer technique.
When it came to lacquer sculptures, Kwon used hemp cloths, Kwon’s younger sister Kyong-sook said in a video played at the exhibition. “We had a lot of hemp blankets and covers. Kwon liked hemp because it is durable and indigenous to Korea. And he was proud of it,” she said.
The exhibition runs through May 22 at the Seoul Museum of Art. Admission is free of charge. The artist’s family donated 140 works by Kwon to the museum in 2021.

On 25 May the GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation, blew out its first candle. A year has passed since it became fully applicable and, according to the Osservatorio Information Security & Privacy, during its first six months, 59% of organizations possessed a structured adaptation project and 23% had a completed project. At the end of 2018, almost a quarter of the companies declared themselves compliant with the requirements imposed by the GDPR, only 10% had not yet addressed the problem at an organizational level and 8% were analyzing the requirements and planning the activities which had to be carried out.
“A year later, we can thank the world of information which was able to highlight the problems related to the adaptation, thus increasing awareness of the need for data protection” – comments Luca Bolognini, chairman of the Istituto Italiano Privacy and author of the book Follia artificiale (Artificial Insanity). Information whose side effect led to many citizens, entrepreneurs, public officials being educated on a subject as delicate as it is little known.
What is the situation of our companies today? Compliant or not compliant?
“The biggest companies are certainly ahead as they started working on the adaptation in good time to be compliant right away. From my point of view, there are still problems for SMEs, which are generally more focused on business rather than on the organizational aspects of compliance, and for Public Administrations, which very often do not have the financial and human resources to deal with the adaptation”.
What can we hope for during this second year of life?
“Unlike many who loudly demand exemplary sanctions, which are certainly necessary in cases of full-blown violations, I am convinced that we need to think about how the general principles laid down by the GDPR will be applied. There are some which are difficult to “solve”, such as for example the limitation of data retention, which is almost impossible to apply in reality, since it entails companies carrying out diabolical searches for documents and other elements which could contain personal data and which should be classified according to variable criteria. Other general principles, such as the limitation of the purposes and of data minimization are often irreconcilable with business needs. In an increasingly Big Data-driven and AI-driven economy, thinking that you are completely compliant with these principles is likely to be deadly. What can be hoped for, therefore, is not the rigid and literal application of the GDPR, but a balanced one, i.e. one that takes into account the principles of realism, proportionality and reasonableness. One of the best parts of the text reported in the decree, Recital 4, states that privacy is not an absolute right, but something to be balanced with other rights and freedoms, such as business rights. Only if the European Privacy Authorities are able to look reality in the face and to make sure that the law does not become an obstacle to innovation, research and business, will we be able to say that we have done a good job of protecting citizens”.
What are the worst things seen in this first year of GDPR?
“Certainly the proliferation of subjects who, by taking advantage of companies’ need for adaptation, pose as experts on the matter even though they are not. Rather dishonest market practices have become widespread, such as external assignments as DPO with sometimes ridiculous working hours which are certainly not in line with the work to be done given the size and complexity of the companies in question. As always happens with the entry into force of a regulation which must be adapted to, we have witnessed a rush to get on the bandwagon which was not a good thing either for the companies or for the professionals who work seriously in this sector”.
Has users’ awareness of data being transferred to the big players such as social network platforms changed compared with a year ago?
“In this case too, I believe that, thanks to disturbing episodes such as Cambridge Analytica, users have understood the risk involved in the case of behavioral profiling aimed at advertising or at disseminating news, often false or unduly suggestive, able to unfairly shift public opinion, convictions and people’s desires. It is however true that the large social network platforms have become more transparent in recent months, sometimes to adapt to the orders of the authorities, sometimes spontaneously: in short, it is easier today, compared with yesterday, to understand how our data are processed. Objecting to their collection, moreover, would be both useless as well as impossible in the digital age. But this does not mean that something cannot be done to improve the current situation: one should reason, for example, on the equity of the data-service exchange, by involving different Authorities for the protection of different rights and interests ranging from privacy, to consumer protection, to antitrust, to pluralism of information. Data can be monetized, but there must be equity in the exchange, i.e. the user’s provision of personal information should have a true, measurable value in return. To determine this value as equitably as possible requires an approach that takes into account different rights, freedoms and interests”.
During this last year, has anything changed in relation to the need to stem “artificial insanity”?
“For sure, we talk more about the risks of Artificial Intelligence, focusing attention on ethical aspects as well, but we need to take an additional step, i.e. to establish a constitutional principle which reiterates the need for a human presence when making certain decisions. A soft approach which regulates some technical aspects with guidelines, as has been done so far at a European level, is not possible. The important risks which AI brings with it must be remedied by incisive legislative measures, adding barriers to the non-human directly in our Constitutions”.

This case study focuses on creating an early stage decision making process using cove.tool for an office building in Palo Alto, California. Cove.tool’s automated Title 24 inputs, made the process fairly straight forward. Within a few minutes, the team had the automated cove.tool repot, highlighting the EUI (Energy Use Intensity) for the office building to be 25Kbtu/sf/yr.
In addition to the Automated Energy Analysis, the report highlighted the climate related data and potential passive strategies that would be a great fit for this climate zone.
When comparing the AIA 2030 commitment, it was observed that the proposed building was very close to meeting the target. The project load was equipment heavy (typical of office buildings in California).
Using the parametric optimization capabilities of cove.tool the design team was able to run a total of 1296 possible combinations and highlight the bundle that was most cost and energy optimized.

A prime example of Identity theft is when someone steals your credit identity and uses credit in your name. This can have a serious impact on your credit score and bring it down significantly. As a result, you may not be able to access credit when you need it the most.
Besides, it may result in a financial loss that may be bad enough to put a blot on your CIBIL report for as long as seven years and you may be marked as a CIBIL defaulter even if you do your bit to maintain a high CIBIL score. If your CIBIL score drops to a level lesser than 750, you may have to resort to bad credit personal loans when you are in dire need of funds. The truth is that in this hyper connected world, identity theft is a hard reality. You are therefore likely to come across "people awareness campaigns" on cybercrimes such as identity theft on the website of financial institutions. Besides awareness campaigns are all over TV, radio and other mediums. If such messages have intrigued you, and you wish to know how to check CIBIL defaulter, you need to know how to protect yourself from identity theft. Here are some tips to prevent yourself from identity theft Be wary of social media platforms Most of us are on numerous social media platforms these days. In a pursuit to use more and more apps, you may willingly disclose sensitive information that makes you vulnerable to identity theft. Whether or not you are new to the social media frenzy, make sure your privacy settings on such platforms remain highly secure. Sharing any kind of financial information over such networks such as passwords and the like are a strict no-no. Also, be completely sure about the authenticity of websites or apps before granting permission to access information such as date of birth, residence address, occupation and place of work. A savvy hacker does not take long to stitch this information together to construct likely passwords and before you know it your financial information has been hacked, your CIBIL score is compromised and you are left with no option but to access bad credit personal loans when you need a quick line of credit. Emphasise on password strength If you are internet savvy, you are most likely to use internet banking and make other financial transaction over the web. This necessitates the use of passwords. Stay away from over simplistic passwords while making financial transactions. Words that are found in the dictionary should be avoided. Construct strong financial passwords with the use of mnemonics, numbers and special characters. The more complicated your passwords the more you can ensure yourself against identity theft. Avoid financial transactions in unsecured Wi-Fi zones These days it is easy to access the internet in public wi-fi zones.
As fun as it may be to banter over social media in such places, making financial transactions over such networks is not a good idea. Wait till you are in a secured wi-fi environment to make such transactions, else switch to your mobile data if it is an absolute must. By using your phone to make financial transactions in unsecured wi-fi networks you are making yourself susceptible to identity thefts. Be careful about physical documents It is true that most of us are increasingly using soft copies to store important documents. However, some documents such as credit card statements and bank account details arrive in the physical mail and when you are tired of the stash of paper, you just discard them without a second thought. Do so by all means, but ensure that you are using a shredder first! Those who are on the lookout to steal your identity may derive information from such documents easily. Therefore, it is important to destroy them before you discard them for good.
Keep a hawk eye on your CIBIL report. Lastly, but not the least, if you wish to know how to check CIBIL defaulter, the one thing that you must do without fail is to keep a check over your CIBIL report. Because of the large amount of data handled by banks and credit bureaus, errors and discrepancies cannot be ruled out. However, if you keep a check on your CIBIL report at regular intervals, you will be able to spot such errors if any and raise a CIBIL dispute to take a corrective action at the earliest. In this hyper connected world that we live in today, it is thus very important to keep a strict vigil over financial transactions, records and passwords in order to protect your identity. Further, if you are not quick to spot and act upon errors in your credit report, there may be a situation in which you are forced to access loan for low credit in a financial crunch.

IEMA Sampling Results Show No Measurable Increases in Radiation Near Byron Nuclear Power Plant
Laboratory analysis of environmental sampling conducted by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) earlier this week showed no measurable increases of radiation in the environment as a result of a steam release from the Byron Nuclear Power Plant. The release occurred during an Unusual Event incident at the plant on Monday following a loss of off-site power.
“Our laboratory results confirm that the steam release at the Byron Nuclear Power Plant on Monday presented no health hazard for people who live and work in the area,” said IEMA Director Jonathon Monken.
An IEMA environmental monitoring team on Tuesday collected water and vegetation samples that were analyzed for tritium in the agency’s radiochemistry laboratory in Springfield. The testing included water samples from four locations where routine samples were taken on Jan. 11. Results from the samples collected this week were statistically the same for three of the samples.
A fourth sample showed a lower level of tritium in the Jan. 31 sample than the Jan. 11 sample, which had an activity concentration of 519 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). Monken said that level isn’t cause for concern as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) maximum contaminant level for tritium in drinking water is 20,000 pCi/L. Therefore, the measured activity concentration (519 pCi/L) is almost 39 times less than the USEPA maximum contaminant level for tritium in drinking water.
In addition, vegetation samples were collected from four areas. IEMA identified Potassium-40, a naturally occurring radionuclide, in the samples. Potassium-40 levels detected ranged from 3.26 picocuries per gram (pCi/g) to 6.37 pCi/g. Because it is naturally occurring, Potassium-40 can be found in many other items, including bananas. Bananas average approximately 3.5 pCi/g of Potassium-40.
Tritium is a radioactive isotope of the element hydrogen that is naturally occurring. It is also produced during the operation of nuclear power plants.
Results from the Jan. 31 sampling near the Byron Nuclear Power Plant and a fact sheet about tritium are available on the IEMA website at www.iema.illinois.gov.

Program: #17-19 Air Date: May 01, 2017
The ongoing celebrations of the 450th anniversary of the birth of the great Italian composer include a boxed set of William Christie and Les Arts Florissants and treatments of the tale of Orfeo with Philippe Jarousky.
I. La storia di Orfeo (Philippe Jaroussky, ct./Emőke Baráth, s./Coro della Radiotelevsione Svizzera/I Barocchisti/Diego Fasolis). Erato CD 0190295851903.
With Philippe Jaroussky’s new album, Storia di Orfeo, the French countertenor realises a long-held dream: to portray the mythic Orpheus – divine musician who ventures into the underworld to retrieve his beloved wife Eurydice from the clutches of death – in his many guises, an inspiration for the very first opera and beyond.
“This project, which was inspired by three key 17th-century operas, was conceived as a kind of opera in miniature or as a cantata for two solo voices and chorus, and features just two characters: Orpheus and Eurydice,” explains Jaroussky. “The three operas focus on different aspects of the story: Sartorio and Rossi depict the happiness of the young lovers and the scene in which Eurydice is bitten by the snake; Monteverdi, on the other hand, concentrates more on Orpheus’ search for Eurydice in the underworld, and the highpoint of his work is an aria that has remained without parallel in the history of opera: the magical ‘Possente spirto’, which I have the temerity to perform here as a countertenor, for the first time on record.”
He is joined by sublime soprano Emőke Baráth and period-instrument ensemble par excellence I Barocchisti with Diego Fasolis at the helm. A journey to the beginnings of opera, to the Italian Baroque, to the underworld and back.

III. Love Songs of a Renaissance Teenager—Ghirlanda de Madrigali (Capella Clausura/Amelia LeClair). For more information, visit:
CAPPELLA CLAUSURA is an ensemble of professional singers and instrumentalist, founded in 2004 to research and perform music by women composers. We are among a small handful of ensembles worldwide dedicated to this mission. Our tag line is "twelve centuries of new music", and indeed, most of this music, especially that written many years ago, is new to modern audiences. We have performed chant by the Byzantine nun, Kassia; the dramatic liturgical music of Hildegard von Bingen; the provocative music of the Trouvères/Trobairitz (female troubadours); and we have presented the modern premieres of music by composers from the Renaissance to today such as Sulpitia Cesis, Chiara Cozzolani, Marianna von Martines, Isabella Leonarda, Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, Erma Woll, Rebecca Clarke, Patricia Van Ness, and Hilary Tann.
We have produced more than thirty programs to date of music by women composers, and have not run out. Many, many women wrote music, but were either spurned or ignored by history, even if published in their day. Our mission is to bring those composers and their music to audiences – and into the established musical canon – not because it's politically correct, but because the music we choose is beautiful and expertly crafted, and calls out to be heard.
For this recording of Aleotti’s “Ghirlanda de Madrigali”, we have twelve singers, three on a part, singing with gusto and passion. These are not your typical "early music" voices. We believe that the music of the Italian Renaissance would have been as passionate as the music of Italy has always been, and our singers have the skills, technique, and beauty of tone required to sing this music and this language.
We are honored that two of the scholars most associated with this field – Drs. Richard Shindle and Ann Carruthers, of Kent State University – have shared their insights and an early transcription of the music with us and have given their blessings to this project.
Vittoria Aleotti (c.1575 – 1646)
Vittoria Aleotti was born in Ferrara, the second daughter of Giovanni Battista Aleotti, a prominent architect at the Court of Duke Alfonso d’Este II. In his letter of dedication to Vittoria’s book of madrigals, Giovanni states that while the eldest of his five daughters was studying music with Alessandro Milleville, his second daughter, Vittoria, then a girl of four, was always present and observing, and, after a year, nature had “so loosened her hands that she began to play the harpsichord to the astonishment of her parents, and also that of the teacher himself.” Milleville began to teach this gifted child and commended her to further study with his own teacher, Ercole Pasquini, a leading Italian composer and organist. After two years, it was suggested to send Vittoria to live and study at the Convent of San Vito in Ferrara, famous for its musical training and performance. After several years there, at the age of fourteen, Vittoria decided to take vows as a nun at San Vito and to devote herself to religious life. Meanwhile, on seeing the progress she was making in music theory, her father obtained some madrigal texts of the court poet Giovanni Battista Guarini for Vittoria to set to music. When Count del Zaffo of Venice visited during Holy week of 1593, he was shown some of the madrigals, and was so impressed that he decided to have them published. When Vittoria was approached about publication, she said she no longer cared about worldly things and left it her father to follow through as he saw fit.
Ghirlanda de madrigali a quattro voci, di Vittoria Aleotti, was published in Venice by Giacomo Vincenti, MDXCIII. After the publication of her madrigals, Vittoria Aleotti was never heard from again.
In the same year that the Ghirlanda de madrigali were brought out, Amadino published the first sacred book of music by a woman composer to appear in print, Sacrae cantiones quinque, septem, octo, & decem vocibus decantande, by a nun named Raffaella Aleotti, of the San Vito convent. This Raffaella, called “l’Argenta”, became renowne for her skill in playing the organ, harpsichord, trom- bone and other wind instruments, and for being Maestra of the ensemble of twenty- three nuns. She was Prioress at the convent for several years until her death.
In his treatise L’Artusi overo delle imperfettioni della modena musica, Italian theo- rist and composer Giovanni Maria Artusi, describes a performance of a concerto at San Vito given in November 1598 before Margaret of Austria, who was accompa- nied by her cousin Archduke Albert on the way to her marriage with King Philip III of Spain. On that occasion, they heard a concerto of instruments consisting of cornetts, trombones, violins, viola bastarda, double harps, lutes, cornamuses, flutes, and harpsichords performed with “such smoothness and sweetness of harmony that it really was as though it were Mount Parnassus, and Paradise itself had opened, and not something human.” A later account of this same performance, published in 1621 and written by Marc’Antonio Guarini, nephew of the poet Giovanni Battista Guarini, identifies several members of the concerto:
"Among the said nuns were excellent composers, the smoothest voices, and instrumentalists of rare quality, such as Catabene de’ Catabeni and Cassandra Pigna, good tenors; Alfonsa Trotti with a singular bass voice; and the aston- ishing Claudia Manfredi and Bartolomea Sorianti, very delicate sopranos; Raffaella de’Magnifici and another Catabene, excellent players of the Cor- netto, also playing every other sort of instrument. Olimpia Leoni, at present still living, plays with great agility a tenor viola, and sings contralto with great aptitude and excellent voice. And the most outstanding of all, and without equal in playing the organ, is Raffaella Aleotti, called l’Argenta, who is also expert in music theory; she has published various highly regarded motets and madrigals".
Given the circumstantial evidence, supported by a reading of her father’s will and the baptismal records of his five daughters, we may assume that Vittoria Aleotti, the second daughter of Giovanni, took vows as a nun in 1589 at the age of fourteen, and at that time adopted the name Raffaella.
The Ghirlanda de Madrigali
In the letter of dedication to Ghirlanda de Madrigali of Vittoria Aleotti (to use her secular name), her father stated that he had asked the poet Giovanni Battista Guarini to provide some of the texts. Guarini was noted for his pastoral drama Il pastor fido (pub. 1590), an important source of madrigal texts set by many noted madrigalists including Luca Marenzio and Claudio Monteverdi. A number of Guarini’s poems had been in circulation, but it was not until 1598 that an attempt was made to collect and publish them. Only four of the poems in this collection were set by Vittoria: “T’amo mia vita”, “Ch’io non t’ami cor mio”, “O dolc’anima mia”, and “Baciai per aver vita”. In addition, some of the anonymous texts appearing for the first time in Ghirlanda may also have been written by Guarini. Only one other poet has been identified, Annibale Pocaterra, a minor Ferrarese poet whose poems were published in 1611 including ”Io v’amo vita mia”. The concluding work is a madrigale spirituale, a setting of the sonnet “Se del tuo corpo hoggi le stampa horrenda”. As is customary in setting a sonnet, it is divided into two parts, the first part a setting of the ottava (rhyme scheme abba, abba), and the second of the sestina (cde, cde).
At age fourteen, Vittoria/Raffaella was already a skilled and expressive composer. She takes full advantage of the textural possibilities within the limitations of four voices portraying, in particular, the contrasting affections in the longer lines. Each line of text, or half line, is given its own musical characterization relating to the various affections of the text. Her treatment of melody and dissonance, with few exceptions, is reflective of the older ideals of sixteenth-century counterpoint. One of these exceptions is encountered in the madrigal “Io v’amo vita mia” on the words “ch’i miei martire” (but of my sufferings). Reduced to a three voice texture, the top voice moves continually upward stepwise on the weak beat to form a suspension to the two lower voices moving upward in thirds on the strong beat, creating the highest tension on the word “martire” (suffering). This expressive technique is fully exploited in Ercole Pasquini’s Durezze e ligature, a composition for organ. This style of composition, emphasizing the use of dissonance and suspensions for organ, was described by Girolamo Diruta in his Il Transilvano (1593) as being appropri- ate for playing during the elevation of the mass. It was often associated with the disposition from the cross. It was a style that was fully exploited in the seventeenth century, and the earliest examples known are those by Pasquini. Vittoria obviously picked up on this technique from her teacher. Vittoria’s approach toward rhythm and harmony, like Pasquini’s, anticipates much that will become standard practice in the next century.

There was in excess of 100 hang ups, prank calls or pocket dials from the Regional District of Bulkley Nechako’s (RDBN) 911 service area during the emergency number’s first seven weeks of operation last year.
The 911 emergency service officially went live in the RDBN on Oct. 25, 2011.
According to Stoney Stoltenberg, RDBN director of electoral area A and 911 committee chair, calls such as these waste valuable time as call centre employees are required to determine if there is an actual emergency.
As reported in the Lakes District News edition of Sept. 28, 2011, Sharla Duchscherer, a dispatcher from the Prince George call centre where all local 911 calls are answered, said 911 hang ups create a lot of wasted time trying to confirm if there is an actual emergency.
She said that if there is a mis-dial, callers should stay on the line so call centre employees can confirm the call was not made due to an emergency.
Duchscherer said cell phones that disconnect from a 911 call take a lot of resources to find out what happened. Land lines are less complicated as the address and name of the registered owner of the telephone are displayed on call screens at the dispatch centre.
“When 911 is dialed from a cell phone, the call centre gets a GPS hit on the location of the caller within a 10 to 30 kilometre radius. A disconnected cell phone can take three people half an hour to find out what happened,” she said.
Stoltenberg said the spate of nuisance calls complicated matters for call centre staff and emergency services. “It tied up services that could really be needed elsewhere,” he said.
“We tried to forewarn people that they didn’t have to test the 911 number to see if it was working … it is working …. I think some people may have said, ‘let’s see what happens if we call 911.’ I am hopeful that the number of nuisance calls will go down now.”
He said that while he does not have the latest call centre figures he remains optimistic. “I will be receiving this information soon.”
From the ‘go live’ date in October, until the end of November 2011 there was 370 calls placed to 911 from the RDBN service area, with just over 100 of being hang ups.
“There is 38,000 residents in the RDBN … some people must not have been able to resist the temptation to call. Some of the calls could also have been pocket dials. We recommend that the 911 number is not programmed into cell phones or into auto dial on home phones as it is so easy to hit the wrong button.”
Stoltenberg said most of the legitimate 911 calls received in the RDBN during the first seven weeks were requiring the services of the RCMP.
Despite the bumpy start, Stoltenberg said first responders and legitimate callers have only had positive things to say about the new emergency number.
“I have spoken to people that have legitimately used 911 and they were very happy with it,” he said, adding that more than 25 emergency numbers previously in use throughout the RDBN have been replaced by the three digit number.
“Despite the nuisance calls, it has all been worthwhile,” he added.

Some companies complain that vendors don’t support them with “Agile way” of delivery.
The reality is that many companies are only able to engage vendors on a fixed price (FP) type of contract. However, the companies are expecting the vendors to work in a Time & Materials (T&M) style instead. This is riskier for the vendors and, if they agree with this type of approach at all, they would have to compensate this risk by increasing their price for service.
Volume of Work (VoW) type of contact could be a good solution to this challenge. (Link to website)
If your Agile project delivery teams don’t have required skillsets and you need to engage a vendor to feel in the gaps, find out if your company policy permits (and your vendor accepts) T&M type of contract. If not, you may need to consider alternative options. One of the options could be a Volume of Work (VoW) type of contract.
For Volume of Work:
- Identify missing critical skillset to deliver defined user stories;
- Estimate the required level of vendor support (in story points) based on current priorities;
The sum of Story points could then be considered as volume of work and converted into effort (and duration) based on the productivity rate of a resource assigned to deliver tasks.
Productivity Rate = Story points per resource per Sprint / Days in Sprint;
Cost of engagement = Story points * Productivity Rate * Resource Daily Rate;
A vendor may be able to offer required skillset with different Productivity rate, Daily rate and Available capacity. If resources with different productivity available, the cost of the engagement should reflect that.
In this case, the Story points definition would have to include the productivity rate as well.
For example, if resource 1 is assigned, then the task is estimated at 5 story points. If resource 2 is assigned, then the task is estimated at 8 story points.
Another option could be to estimate story points based on the resource with the highest productivity, and then to adjust the velocity of each sprint when resource with lower productivity needs to be assigned.
Cost of engagement = Story points (R1) * R1 productivity rate * R1 daily rate + Story points (R2) * R2 productivity rate * R2 daily rate;
This proposed VoW type of contract would allow to sign a Fixed Price contract based on planned volume of work (based on planned story points), but would support Agile delivery with periodic reprioritisations.
Vendors should be able to receive payments based on the completed volume of work (delivered story points) after each sprint or a number of sprints.
The contract may also include earlier exit conditions for a vendor, in case the project is put on hold.
As the risk in VoW contract is shared between a project and a vendor, the vendors would be ready to supply resources at a lower rate comparing to the Fixed Price Contract.

Linking Travel Demand Modeling with Micro-Simulation
AdvisorTian, Zong Z.
Civil and Environmental Engineering
AltmetricsView Usage Statistics
Travel demand forecasting and traffic simulation are two important components of transportation studies. Travel demand forecasting models have typically been used for planning purposes for future transportation systems at a macroscopic level. Traffic simulation tools are often used to account for the movements of individual vehicles at a microscopic level. Traditionally, there has been a disconnection between the macroscopic and microscopic levels. The desire to link travel demand models and traffic simulation models has been recognized by transportation agencies and professionals.With the advent of computing technologies, transportation agencies are increasingly adopting microscopic traffic simulation models for large-scale design projects to obtain more detailed operational analyses. One critical issue that transportation agencies often encounter is that constructing a microscopic simulation model from scratch still consumes a significant amount of resources. This research aims to develop a conversion method to extract a portion of a travel demand network in TransCAD for constructing a consistent subarea of interest, and then convert it into a microscopic simulation in Synchro/SimTraffic.TransCAD in nature is a macroscopic travel demand modeling tool. Synchro/SimTraffic provides detailed microscopic traffic analysis. Dynamic Traffic Assignment models serve as a mesoscopic tool for traffic analysis, which lie between TransCAD and Synchro. To convert a TransCAD model into Synchro for micro-simulation, a cross-resolution simulation method using NeXTA/DTALite as an intermediate tool was adopted. This method develops a DTA model that ensures consistency between TransCAD traffic demand and Synchro vehicle flow, and allows users to easily define a subarea in the DTA model and convert it to Synchro. The conversion method was tested for its functionality using the TransCAD model maintained by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTCSN). The test application demonstrated the integration of TransCAD, DTA, and Synchro as well as the successful application of converting a TransCAD network to DTA, and a subarea from DTA to Synchro. Results from the case study show significant time savings by using the proposed method compared to traditional manual methods. Major conclusions and some outstanding issues from the research are documented in this thesis. A User’s Manual for the conversion process is also included in the thesis.

An Article that Promotes Breast Cancer Awareness
Because I support breast cancer awareness and research, receiving an Excellence in Cancer Journalism Award from the American Cancer Society was especially gratifying.
This media award is given to radio, television, newspaper and magazine journalists, and I was honored to be one of only 16 recognized by the American Cancer Society throughout Hawaii, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas.
“Through these stories, the public has learned more about cancer research, treatment, early detection, how to get help, and what it feels like to be a cancer survivor.”
~ Jackie Bayly-Bryant, vice-president of the Division Communications Department
American Cancer Society
Award Winning Journalism
Here’s the story and layout—a very personal article about a brave breast cancer survivor who happened to be my sister’s neighbor. It was inspirational to interview Penny Ducote and learn how she first noticed that something was wrong, and then how she sprang into action.
But there is also a backstory that I did not include in the article—my own grandmother’s journey. My grandmother was stricken first by Alzheimer’s, and then by breast cancer—the first in my family to be diagnosed with the disease. I had always wanted to write an article that supported breast cancer awareness and in some way honor my grandmother and what she went through. I know she would be proud of this article, which was published eight year’s after she passed away and won the Excellence in Cancer Journalism Award the following year in 2009.
I hope you enjoy reading this story of hope, determination and support from a loving community, and that you also promote breast cancer awareness.

Europa Reach is one of several named sections along Gardner Canal, a fjord in the Kitimat Ranges, about 97 miles (156 km) southeast of Prince Rupert and 42 miles (68 km) south-southeast of Kitimat, British Columbia. Different sections of the Gardner Canal are named ‘reaches’, where a reach is a relatively straight section of the fjord. The reaches in Gardner Canal are, from mouth to head, Alan Reach, Europa Reach, Barrie Reach, Whidbey Reach, and Egeria Reach.
Gardner Canal was named in 1793 by Captain George Vancouver in honor of his friend and former commander, Alan Gardner, the 1st Baron Gardner. Gardner joined the Royal Navy in 1755 and was promoted to captain in 1766. He commanded a number of frigates before being promoted to a ship of the line. In 1786, as Commodore of the Jamaica Station, consisting of HMS Europa and HMS Experiment, he ordered detailed hydrographic surveys of Caribbean locations and during this time, he commanded and probably mentored future famous officers such as George Vancouver, Peter Puget, and Joseph Whidbey.
During the Nootka Crisis in 1790, which caused an international incident and near war between Britain and Spain, Gardner commanded the 74-gun HMS Courageux, and again Vancouver accompanied him as a lieutenant. In 1791, Captain Gardner, was one of the Lords of the Admiralty, who signed Vancouver’s additional instructions for his voyage of exploration on this coast. Gardner Canal was first labeled on a British Admiralty Chart in 1870 and Europa Reach was labeled as the section between Alan and Barrie Reaches. Read more here and here.

Active Ageing Bristol is an initiative that aims to engage, inspire and enable people to be active, healthy and happy in later life. Active Ageing Bristol builds on existing provision and develops new activities to encourage people aged 55 and over to become and stay active.
Though most of the activities and hubs supported through the programme have been temporarily closed due to the coronavirus, there are a variety of opportunities available to Bristol residents to support them to keep active at home.
WalkFest runs Bristol's annual walking festival every May, although Bristol WalkFest 2021 has officially finished, you can continue to access all the walks, information and inspiration on this website (Bristol WalkFest 2021) to keep you walking all year round. The Bristol WalkFest team have also developed a helpful pdf (and soon to be physical) booklet featuring a selection of walks throughout Bristol for you to access whenever you’d like. Read it here.
If you have any questions or need help finding an activity that’s right for you, you can get in touch via email at firstname.lastname@example.org
Active Ageing Bristol is founded and funded by St Monica Trust and The Anchor Society, and hosted by Age UK Bristol with support from Bristol Public Health.

Relative age effects (RAEs) occur when those who are relatively older for their age group are more likely to succeed. RAEs occur reliably in some educational and athletic contexts, yet the causal mechanisms remain unclear. Here we provide the first direct test of one mechanism, selection bias, which can be defined as evaluators granting fewer opportunities to relatively younger individuals than is warranted by their latent ability. Because RAEs are well-established in hockey, we analyzed National Hockey League (NHL) drafts from 1980 to 2006. Compared to those born in the first quarter (i.e., January–March), those born in the third and fourth quarters were drafted more than 40 slots later than their productivity warranted, and they were roughly twice as likely to reach career benchmarks, such as 400 games played or 200 points scored. This selection bias in drafting did not decrease over time, apparently continues to occur, and reduces the playing opportunities of relatively younger players. This bias is remarkable because it is exhibited by professional decision makers evaluating adults in a context where RAEs have been widely publicized. Thus, selection bias based on relative age may be pervasive.

Relative age effects (RAEs) occur when those who are relatively older for their age group are more likely to succeed. RAEs are perhaps most often associated with Canadian ice hockey, where nearly 40% of players on elite junior teams are born in the first quarter of the year, meaning that, because of a January 1 cut-off date, they would have been consistently older than their age group peers –. RAEs have been described in numerous athletic and educational contexts, and there is consensus that RAEs are unfair to relatively younger individuals and that the implied loss of talent may negatively impact societies – (but see , ).
Eliminating RAEs has proven challenging, however, in part because of difficulties in identifying which of the plausible mechanisms are causal , , , , . For example, all else being equal, the youngest boy on a youth hockey team will be smaller, weaker, less emotionally mature, and less skillful; these disadvantages may lead to other ones, including diminished confidence, less instruction from coaches, reduced likelihood of being selected for elite teams, and, ultimately, a greater likelihood of dropping out of the sport. Thus, there are many potentially causal mechanisms, and they are likely to interact.
Here, we attempt to isolate and demonstrate the occurrence of one mechanism: selection bias. By selection bias, we mean that evaluators (e.g., teachers, coaches) mistakenly grant fewer opportunities (e.g., instruction, access to elite group or team) to relatively younger individuals than is warranted by their latent ability or talent. Although selection bias is widely accepted as a contributor to RAEs , , , , , there is little direct evidence for it (but see , ), apparently owing to the difficulty of obtaining measures of both perceived and latent talent. Furthermore, in most studies consistent with selection bias, the selector's preference for relatively older individuals might be rational, given the selector's aims and the greater maturity of relatively older individuals. For example, a coach selecting a youth team may favor relatively older players because the coach's performance may be evaluated based on her team's success; similarly, a teacher may select mostly relatively older pupils for a gifted academic program because they are most likely to benefit from and contribute to it.
We tested the hypothesis of selection bias by evaluating entry drafts of the National Hockey League (NHL), the world's premier professional ice hockey league. NHL teams generally draft players once they have reached 18 years of age , and teams select players in order of their perceived talent , . Nevertheless, there is uncertainty regarding the career trajectory of players, and nearly half never develop sufficiently to play a single game in the NHL. The logic of our study is that a player's draft slot serves as a measure of their perceived talent whereas career productivity indicates their realized talent. If selection bias occurs, then, for any given draft slot, relatively younger players will enjoy more productive careers.
The possibility of selection bias in NHL drafting was suggested by a recent study . It reported that 40% of Canadian-born first round NHL draft selections from 2007–2010 (n = 62) were born in the first quarter, but only 28% of Canadian-born NHL players were born in the first quarter. Moreover, in a large sample (n = 1,003), first quarter born players comprised fewer than 25% of Canadian All-Star and Olympic team members and had substantially shorter NHL careers than players born later in the year.
We expanded on this study in several ways. First, our analyses of productivity included all selections from all draft rounds for a period of 27 years, meaning that our sample size of draftees was 44 times larger (n = 2,736 Canadian-born non-goaltenders). Second, we used analytic methods to directly test for selection bias while controlling for potentially confounding variables. Most crucially, we tested whether birth quarter was associated with productivity once draft slot was controlled; this is vital because relatively younger players may be drafted earlier . Third, we investigated a potential mediator of selection bias, the decision to become draft eligible. Fourth, we tested for changes in selection bias over time. Finally, we examined whether selection bias reduces relatively younger individuals' playing opportunities.
We began by confirming previous studies showing that the number of players drafted differed by birth quarter , . Overall, 36% of draftees came from the first quarter and 14.5% came from the fourth quarter. As shown in Figure 1, this discrepancy occurred in every draft from 1980 to 2012, and there was no indication of temporal change for the percentage of fourth quarter players drafted, the percentage of first quarter players drafted or their difference (all ps>.45).

In assessing NHL productivity and selection bias (i.e., all analyses below), we only considered players drafted prior to 2007 because little data have accrued for players drafted later than this. As our primary productivity measure, we used career games played , , , (see also , ). The logic is that if a team decides to utilize a player, they must view him as likely to contribute more than their alternatives. Games played is advantageous because it accommodates various positions and roles (e.g., defenseman, enforcer, scorer, checking forward). Furthermore, supporting its validity, games played correlated with three other prima facie indicators of productivity, goals per game (r(1459) = 0.46, p<.0001), assists per game (r(1459) = 0.57, p<.0001), and points (i.e., goals plus assists) per game (r(1459) = 0.57, p<.0001)(see ). Games played also correlated with a productivity measure that encompasses offensive and defensive contributions, plus-minus per game (r(1459) = 0.23, p<.0001); plus-minus is goals scored by own team while playing less goals scored against own team while playing. For both defensemen and forwards, games played correlated with all four measures of productivity (all ps<.0001). As a secondary productivity measure we used career points scored.
Supporting the hypothesis of selection bias, the percentage of total productivity achieved by players born in the third and fourth quarters was far greater than the percentage of players drafted from these quarters (Fig. 2). For example, although 14.5% of draftees were born in the fourth quarter, these individuals played 20% of the games (477,000) and scored 19% of the points (209,000) accumulated by draftees in our sample. By contrast, those born in the first quarter dramatically under-produced, given that they constituted 36% of draftees.
That relatively younger players are relatively more productive (Fig. 2) is consistent with the selection bias hypothesis but does not unambiguously support it. The reason is that players drafted earlier are expected to be more productive, and relatively younger players might be drafted earlier. This pattern was reported previously , and we also found it here with a larger sample (ordinary least squares regression: R2 = .01, F(3,2732) = 9.29; p<.0001; mean draft slot Q1 = 119; Q2 = 114; Q3 = 124; Q4 = 99). The critical question, therefore, is whether birth quarter is related to productivity when draft slot is controlled.
We addressed this question using Tobit regressions to account for players who never reached the NHL. Indicator variables were included to estimate the effect of later birth quarters (i.e., second, third, fourth) compared to the first quarter, and these models also controlled for draft slot, position (i.e., defenseman, forward), height, and year of draft. The results indicated that, compared to first quarter draftees, relatively younger draftees played more games (Q2 = 71 games, p = .005; Q3 = 160, p<.001; Q4 = 162; p<.001) and scored more points (Q2 = 52 points, p = .002; Q3 = 110, p<.001; Q4 = 88; p<.001).
A key question is whether selection bias applies even to early draft selections, where decisions are weighed more carefully . We thus repeated these regression analyses restricting our analyses to players selected in the first 30 slots. This currently corresponds to the first round of the NHL draft (i.e., each team makes their first selection), although it represented almost 1.5 rounds at the beginning of our study period when there were 21 teams. The magnitude of selection bias was similar to when we included all draftees (above), although owing to small samples, the coefficient estimates were not always significant (games: Q2 = 80, p = .11; Q3 = 223, p<.001; Q4 = 92, p = .09; points: Q2 = 69, p = .08; Q3 = 162, p<.001; Q4 = 45, p = .30).
The magnitude of selection bias can be appreciated by examining the percentage of players from each birth quarter reaching major career benchmarks (Fig. 3; Table 1). The differences are striking: across the sample (n = 2,736), 13% of those born in the first quarter reached 400 games, whereas the values for the other quarters were, respectively, 18%, 21%, and 25% (Odds-ratio [OR] compared to first quarter: 1.47, 1.78, 2.23). Furthermore, the percentages from each quarter reaching 200 points were 8%, 13%, 15%, and 17% (OR: 1.71, 2.02, 2.36). Although selection bias is also manifest in the basic benchmark of playing at least one NHL game, the effect was more modest; the percentages were 48%, 53%, 55%, and 65% (OR: 1.22, 1.32, 2.01). Because the majority of more highly drafted players (i.e., selected in first 100 slots), reached this benchmark, the effect was driven by players drafted later (Table 1).
Although relatively younger players (specifically those born in the fourth quarter) were drafted somewhat earlier than those born in the first quarter, the regressions controlling for draft slot indicate that, given their productivity, they were not drafted early enough. To further illustrate this, we estimated the discrepancy in drafts slots for a first quarter born player and relatively younger player who had played the same number of games. As above, the coefficients on the birth quarter dummy variables (i.e., intercepts) were all significantly different from the first quarter (all ps<0.01), and there was no indication that the slopes differed (F(3, 2492) = 0.58, p = .63; all individual slopes ps>.20). The regressions indicated that a second quarter draftee played the same number of games as a first quarter one if drafted 20 slots later; the discrepancies for the third and fourth quarters were 45 and 43 slots.
To test for temporal change in selection bias in the NHL draft, we used the draft slot discrepancy measures described in the previous paragraph. Because the effects were large, we focused on the first and third quarter discrepancy and the first and fourth quarter discrepancy. Due to the modest sample for each year, we calculated discrepancies with a five year moving window.
Figure 4 shows that both draft slot discrepancies were in the predicted direction for all 23 of these five year epochs. Both discrepancies were significant (p<.05) for 20 of 23 epochs. The first to third discrepancy did not reach significance at epochs with midpoints of 1987, 1997, and 1999; the first to fourth discrepancy was not significant for 1982, 1996, and 1998. Both discrepancies tended to increase over time, although in neither case was this change significant (first to third: r(21) = .33, p = .13; first to fourth: r(21) = .25, p = .26). Thus, we found no indication that selection bias based on relative age decreased over time.
Draft slots indicate the draft selection discrepancy between individuals born in the first quarter and later quarters with equivalent career games played. Yellow diamonds indicate first to third quarter discrepancy; blue circles indicate first to fourth quarter discrepancy.
Decision to become draft eligible
We next considered a potential mediator of selection bias, the player's decision to become draft eligible. In particular, prior to 2005 players were not uniformly draft eligible based on their birthdays and had to inform the NHL office that they wished to ‘opt in’ to the draft , . Unfortunately, we were unable to obtain data regarding actual opt in decisions. However, based on birthdays and year of draft selection, we determined that 70% of players were drafted in their first year of potential eligibility, meaning that at least this percentage opted in. Moreover, players drafted in their first year of eligibility were drafted substantially earlier than those drafted in their second or third year of eligibility (first mean = 99; later mean = 152, t(2734) = 17.5, p<.0001). This suggests that many players who were not drafted in their first year of eligibility had previously opted in but had not been drafted due to their perceived lesser ability. Nonetheless, in the 2005 and 2006 drafts, when all players were automatically eligible, 86% were drafted in their first year of eligibility whereas only 67% were drafted in their first year of eligibility in the 2003 and 2004 (opt in) drafts. This indicates that an appreciable number of players did not opt in prior to 2005.
To address the opt in decision as a potential mediator, we first examined whether there is an effect of year of potential draft eligibility on productivity. We found evidence for such an effect: players drafted in their second or third year of potential eligibility were substantially more productive than those drafted in their first year of potential eligibility; this held in Tobit regressions controlling for draft slot, position, height, and year of draft (games = 80, p = .001; points = 55, p = .001).
However, if the opt in decision was truly a mediator, then the relation between birth quarter and productivity should disappear or significantly weaken when regressions control for the year of potential draft eligibility. Contrary to this, birth quarter remained a strong predictor of productivity when year of potential draft eligibility was added to the regressions, which also included draft slot, position, height, and year of draft. This was true for games (Q2 = 69, p = .008; Q3 = 158, p<.001; Q4 = 165; p<.001) and points (Q2 = 49, p = .004; Q3 = 108, p<.001; Q4 = 91; p<.001). Crucially, the interactions between birth quarter and year of potential eligibility (i.e., first, or later) were not significant in any case (all ps >.10). Furthermore, when we repeated our original tests of selection bias using only the 70% of players drafted in their first year of potential eligibility, we still found that players born in the second, third, and fourth quarters were far more productive than those born in the first quarter (games: Q2 = 64, p = .03; Q3 = 139, p<.001; Q4 = 134; p<.001; points: Q2 = 47, p = .02; Q3 = 99, p<.001; Q4 = 79; p = .001). We found similar results when we only included the 30% of players drafted in their second or third year of eligibility (games: Q2 = 78, p = .10; Q3 = 191, p<.001; Q4 = 243; p<.001; points: Q2 = 58, p = .08; Q3 = 131, p<.001; Q4 = 119; p = .01). Thus, there is no indication that the opt in decision mediated selection bias based on relative age.
Costs of selection bias
Finally, we explored a potential cost of selection bias, namely that later draft selections may receive fewer playing opportunities than their latent talent would warrant. The reason is that when a player's ability to make a net contribution to their team is ambiguous, teams will more often grant the benefit of doubt to a player to whom they have invested more highly (i.e., drafted earlier). This tendency is called ‘escalation’ in studies of professional basketball , .
The hockey data yielded evidence consistent with escalation: games played was jointly predicted by points per game and draft slot; crucially the draft slot regression coefficient was negative (R2 = .50, F(2,1456) = 736.8, p<.0001; βdraft slot = −.69, p<.001; βpoints per game = 7.26, p<.001). Furthermore, when position, height, and plus-minus per game were added as predictors, the effect of draft slot remained substantial (R2 = .51, F(5,1275) = 262.4, p<.0001; βdraft slot = −.69, p<.001; βpoints per game = 7.22, p<.001; βposition-forward = −76.1, p<.001; βplus-minus = −.26, p = .10; βheight = −1.9, p = .63). Thus, a player who is drafted ‘later than they should be,’ must produce more to receive the same playing opportunities.
Here, we have demonstrated that, for 27 years, relatively younger NHL draftees have enjoyed substantially more productive careers than would be predicted by their draft slots. Moreover, the pattern of drafting far fewer relatively younger individuals has not waned and has occurred again in recent years, including in the 2012 draft (Fig. 1). Before we explore the implications of this selection bias, we must address three questions.
First, are our findings novel, given earlier studies? It was previously known that the unequal distribution of players by birth quarter is greater in junior hockey than in the NHL , , . This pattern is consistent with selection bias but does not require it. This is because relatively younger players in junior hockey might, on average, be more talented than relatively older players, and NHL teams might recognize this and draft accordingly. In fact, a previous study reported that relatively younger players were drafted earlier , and we confirmed the effect with a larger sample. Thus, if NHL teams simply drafted based on (unbiased) perceptions of talent, there would be no relationship between relative age and productivity. We showed, however, that there is a strong relationship, even when draft slot is controlled.
Our findings are also novel in that they apparently constitute the first demonstration that, in sports, selection based on relative age can be irrational (see below). As noted in the Introduction, although many studies show that relatively older players are more likely to be selected for youth elite teams, none of these studies address whether these selection patterns are disadvantageous for the teams and selectors given that relatively older players generally have greater ability at the time of selection. Because we had good measures of both perceived talent (i.e., draft slot) and realized talent (i.e., career productivity), we were able to address this question directly.
A second question is whether there could there be some rational basis for teams drafting relatively younger individuals later than is warranted by their career productivity. A study of the Australian Football League draft illustrates how this might occur: indigenous players significantly outperformed their draft slots; however, the authors could not rule out that this selection bias might be rational because the recruitment and retention of indigenous players might require additional resources, such as assistance with housing and cultural acclimatization . Similarly, a study found that South American players in the Premier division of the English professional soccer league tended to be overpaid in terms of their effects on team performance; however, this preference for South American players might be rational because the presence of these players, perhaps owing to their stylish play, was associated with increased attendance .
Although an explanation analogous to one of these examples cannot be logically excluded, it is difficult to conceive of a reasonable one. For example, most fans are apparently unaware of players' birthdays and do not have stereotypical beliefs about the playing style or abilities of players based on relative age. Furthermore, as we showed, the selection bias was robust to different measures of productivity and was undiminished when possible confounds were incorporated. Perhaps the most plausible idea is that relatively older individuals are rationally preferred, despite their worse long-term productivity, because they are more likely to make an early contribution to a team. In particular, a relatively older player would be absolutely older than a relatively younger one, meaning that they would be further along in their development.
Contrary to such reasoning, however, draft eligibility rules dictate that players born from January 1 to September 15 of year X first potentially become draft-eligible at the same time as players born September 16 to December 31 of year X-1 , . Paradoxically, then, relatively older individuals (e.g., born in first quarter) are absolutely younger than those in their draft-eligible cohort who were born in the fourth quarter. Furthermore, our results show that relatively older individuals are not only less likely to reach long-term career benchmarks (i.e., 400 career games); they are also less likely to even play a single game (Fig. 3; Table 1). Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that the selection bias we have shown is not in the drafting teams' best interest (i.e., it is irrational).
A third question is whether there is in fact an RAE in the NHL. Representation and productivity in the NHL differed substantially by birth quarter (Fig. 2; Table 1). Nonetheless, one might argue that because the RAE is smaller in the NHL than in junior leagues , , there is no mechanism actively contributing to the RAE in the NHL (see also , –). In other words, the differential representation by quarter in the NHL is a legacy of past RAE mechanisms. Our demonstration that relatively younger draftees typically achieve greater careers certainly supports this view. Indeed, one might suggest that ‘the cream rises to the top,’ and, despite where they are drafted, truly talented players, whether relatively older or younger, will manage to develop their abilities and achieve long and productive careers , , .
This argument has some validity, yet it overlooks that being drafted ‘later than one should,’ or not being drafted at all, can be costly. Our analysis of escalation effects shows that, once in the league, players who are drafted earlier receive greater playing opportunities than is warranted by their productivity. These opportunities should allow them to more easily establish their reputations, and these opportunities can translate directly into compensation because recently drafted players can earn most of their income through playing-dependent performance bonuses . Moreover, prior to the collective bargaining agreement of 1995, rookie salaries were far higher for players drafted earlier . Indeed, the likely benefits of early selection are revealed in the behavior of potential draftees: they voluntarily endure days of draft evaluation sessions (e.g., interviews, physiological testing) to improve their draft prospects . Thus, if there was no selection bias against relatively younger individuals, there would be more of them in the NHL, and they would produce and earn more.
Our demonstration of selection bias against relatively younger draftees is important because it suggests that selection bias may occur broadly. Obviously, selecting professional hockey players differs considerably from selection in other contexts, yet we believe that, all else being equal, selection bias could be at least as great elsewhere.
Consider NHL teams' draftee evaluations compared to German teachers' recommendations about their 10 year-old pupils; these recommendations concerning the suitability of secondary school tracks (e.g., basic or academic) are substantially biased against relatively younger children and have life-long effects , .
- NHL teams are evaluating 18 year-olds, not 10 year-olds, meaning that any age gap is proportionally almost twice as large . In fact, most discussions of RAEs state or imply that, although the consequences of RAE mechanisms may persist into adulthood, most mechanisms will be active in children or early adolescents (see also , –).
- NHL drafting is done by scouts and general managers who are highly motivated to make accurate evaluations due to the high-stakes involved and the scrutiny given to their decisions , , , . By contrast, teachers making recommendations may have less information, less time for deliberation, and may face few or no consequences for poor decisions.
- NHL teams are probably aware of RAEs. RAEs in hockey have been documented in the academic literature since the mid-1980s , , recognized as potentially important by national federations since the mid-1990s , and popularized in a bestselling book . In fact, hockey scouts' evaluations frequently consider the relative age of the scouted player compared to their teammates and opponents . Teachers, on the other hand, may have little or no awareness of RAEs , .
A final question is what factor(s) causes NHL teams to underestimate the future productivity of relatively younger players. The obvious candidate is maturity-related differences in physiological (e.g., power) and technical characteristics . This possibility might seem unlikely because, as noted above, individuals born in the fourth quarter are, in most cases, absolutely older than others in their draft-eligible cohort , . However, player evaluations are based on several years of consideration and, once a player is initially evaluated by professional scouts, perhaps in their early teens, this can, in various ways, affect future evaluations. For instance, relatively younger players may be less likely to be selected for the most elite junior teams , (see also –); level of competition, has, in turn, been shown to systematically bias drafting in professional sports . Similarly, prior to 2005, players' decisions regarding what year they ‘opted in’ to the draft might have mediated the selection bias; however, our analyses found no evidence for this.
Another possibility is that selection bias in NHL drafting is based on some sort of ‘underdog’ effect whereby relatively younger individuals, because they have faced greater social challenges , (see also ), compensate by developing greater adaptability to different roles or better work habits; these traits then lead to greater long-term achievement , (see also ). An underdog effect would have interesting implications, but there is little direct evidence for it yet. Furthermore, even if an underdog effect occurs, its importance is generally countervailed by other mechanisms that typically make being relatively younger disadvantageous –.
Materials and Methods
We obtained data from the official National Hockey League web site, www.nhl.com. In cases where data were unavailable, we attempted to obtain them from another site, www.hockeydb.com/. We recorded information on draft year, draft slot, player name, birth country, birth month, birth year, and whether the player was a goalie, defenseman, or forward (i.e., center, wing). We initially gathered data on all 8,186 draft selections made from 1980–2012. We did not consider data prior to 1980 because, before this, RAEs did not occur consistently , , and birth dates for draftees who did not reach the NHL were sparse. For analyses involving productivity, we excluded players drafted from 2007–2012; we did this because these players have had little opportunity to accrue production.
The number of selections across our sample varied across years from 210 to 293. This variation was due to an increase in the number of NHL teams (from 21 in 1980 to 30 since 2000) and a decrease in the number of draft rounds (from 12 during the most drafts in the 1980s to 7 since 2005). In less than 1% of cases, a player was drafted, did not sign a contract, and then was selected a second time in a later draft; we excluded players' data from their second drafting.
For several reasons, we excluded those who were not Canadian-born (55% of draftees). First, draft eligibility rules differ for individuals playing outside of North America . Second, European based players often play in their domestic leagues or have national service obligations; these can raise obstacles to their playing in the NHL and can affect the willingness of teams to draft them . Third, because there are far more Canadians than any other nationality in the NHL and the Canadian developmental system is comparatively homogenous, most previous RAE studies focused on Canadian-born players –, . We also excluded goalies. We did this because they constitute a small percentage of draftees (10%), and the development and evaluation of goalies differs substantially from that of forwards and defensemen , . Our preliminary analyses yielded no indication of selection bias for goalies, using games as the productivity measure (for each later birth quarter, p>.70; combined F-test, p = .95). If we had included goalies, the selection bias shown in our Results would have been highly similar (for each later quarter, ps<.01).
Because players have unequal opportunities to participate in the playoffs, we considered only regular season production. Teams played 80–84 games per annual regular season during the sample, with the exception of one abbreviated (1994–1995) and one cancelled season (2004–2005) , . Our productivity measures were based on career totals at the conclusion of the 2011–2012 season. Because many players have not yet completed their careers, they will continue to accrue productivity. Although this means that draft year will correlate with productivity, there is no known reason to expect that this would spuriously produce evidence of selection bias.
Because roughly 45% of draftees never play in a single NHL game, productivity measures have a non-normal distribution. Thus, when predicting productivity, we used censored regression models (i.e., Tobits). When conducting multiple regressions to address escalation effects, we reported regression coefficients that were not standardized, so that the coefficients represent conditional marginal effects. For example, the first set of regression results indicate that, when draft slot is fixed, games played increases by 7.24 for each additional point per game scored. All analyses were conducted using two-tailed statistical tests with Stata v.12.1 (College Station, TX).

Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS T1534) evaluation for tropical cyclone prediction over the North Indian Ocean
Keywords:Tropical cyclone, North Indian Ocean, GEFS, Verification
The high-resolution global ensemble prediction system was implemented at IITM (Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology) in June 2018 and handed over to India Meteorological Department (IMD) for operational running. During the Tropical Cyclone (TC) season over the North Indian Ocean, real time forecasts of ensemble tracks, intensity and strike probability of TCs are provided to IMD. This paper evaluates the skill of the model in predicting TCs during 2018, 2019 and two cases in 2020. A total of 13 cases are considered and various skill scores are calculated for the TC predictions. This study evaluates and highlights the importance of the Ensemble Prediction System for Tropical Cyclone forecasting. The key finding from this analysis is that, the higher skill of ensemble prediction system based on GEFS at longer lead time compared with the deterministic prediction. This is particularly beneficial for operational forecaster for issuing early warnings.

I’m sorry that I cannot provide details of the reaction to the armistice in Bradford as the newspapers are currently unavailable. However I thought it might be appropriate to record the Peace Day Celebrations that were arranged by Bradford Poor Law Board of Guardians on 19th July 1919.
Inmates, who were still dispersed at different locations due to the use of Union House and St Luke’s Hospital as a War Hospital, were allowed special fare consisting of:
· Breakfast – bread, margarine, tea, bacon, sausage.
· Dinner – beef, plum pudding, vegetables, oranges.
· Tea – bread, margarine, cake, cheese.
· Extras – sweets, tobacco, snuff, biscuits.
Visiting regulations were relaxed and entertainments arranged. The children at the children’s home at Bowling Institution were provided with sports and outdoor amusements with a marquee erected for the provision of tea and, with the approval of the Minister of Health, the sum of 6d each for pocket money. The members of the Ladies Cottage Homes Visiting Committee were invited and arrangements made to hold the event in a vacant block at St Luke’s in case the weather was wet.
Staff at the various institutions were granted a days holiday and 2/6 in consideration of the extra work they had to perform on the actual day (given at the discretion of the master/superintendent).

NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 26 – Prof Wangari Muta Maathai, the 2004 Nobel Peace Laureate who died of cancer on Sunday night would want to be remembered as an environmental icon.
In a 2008 interview with Al Jazeera’s Riz Khan she hoped history would record her as a person who was very concerned about the environment, “very concerned about what we do with the species we cohabit this planet with and one person who really felt that the humans ought to have a greater respect for other species than we do at the moment because in respecting other species, in respecting members of the human species we are more likely to survive on this planet earth.”
The Kenyan heroine who became the first in East and Central Africa to get a doctorate degree also spoke candidly about how she was compelled to alter her husband’s name Mathai to Maathai soon after the couple divorced.
The 71-year-old environmentalist was once married to Mwangi Mathai in 1969 who divorced her 10 years later, leaving her to raise their three children.
“It is part of what we women go through, you marry a man, you love him you adopt his name and then if he decides he doesn’t like you he asks you to drop his name. That really is very dehumanising because it is like you don’t have an identity that you are given an identity by the man. But at this time and age women want to be themselves,” she said during the Al Jazeera interview.
Traditionally, she said, Kikuyu women did not assume their husband’s names.
“They (women) retained their first names. But I was persuaded to change my name to my husband’s. At that time he wanted me to be called after him, so when he told me to change my name (after the divorce), I was not amused so I decided to reclaim the name by changing it, I added another (letter) a.”
The Kenyan environmentalist died on Sunday night while undergoing treatment at the Nairobi Hospital where she had been admitted for a couple of weeks.
Her Personal Assistant Lucy Wanjohi said Maathai succumbed to ovarian cancer, for which she was being treated. She was diagnosed with the cancer last year.
“She passed on at 11pm last night after a long battle with cancer. She has been in and out of hospital several times now. It is very sad that she has left us,” Wanjohi told Capital News on telephone on Monday morning.
Maathai leaves behind three children Waweru, Wanjira, Muta and a granddaughter, Ruth Wangari.

Focus on Catholic Social Teaching aims to help students live Christ’s mission
By Lois Rogers | Trenton Monitor CorrespondentIn elementary and high schools around the Diocese, the countdown to the new school year is underway and excitement is building in faculty and staff meetings as well as in countless homes around Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
In St. Veronica School, situated just off Route 9 in Howell Township, the principal, Resurrection Sister Cherree Power, looks forward to the “school family” getting back together.
“Kids are coming back, new kids are joining,” she said, adding that one of the aspects that means the most to her is that the opportunity to share Catholic Social Teaching is once again at hand.
Similar to her colleagues – including those in St. Jerome School, West Long Branch; Our Lady of Sorrows School, Hamilton; St. Leo the Great School, Lincroft; and Red Bank Catholic High School – Sister Cherree regards sharing the precepts of social teaching as set forth in the United States by the Catholic bishops as an integral part of a Catholic education.
The tenets learned, from the first years of schooling on, she said “will help these youngsters one day go out into future leadership” aware of what it means to be “truly called to serve … to live the mission.”
A Model to Follow
Since the first years of this new millennium, Catholic Social Teaching – with its major themes of life and dignity of the human person, call to family, human rights and responsibilities, concern for the poor and vulnerable, the dignity of workers, global solidarity and care of God’s creation – has been woven into the curriculum of Catholic schools, including St. Veronica School.
There, what began as a response to a Middle School Accreditation requirement to create a schoolwide project has become a part of tradition and an award-winning model for other schools to follow.
The idea for the project, which was honored by the National Catholic Education Association in 2004 for promoting Catholic Identity, Sister Cherree recalled, was born “back in 2000 at a meeting in St. Raphael School, Hamilton,” where the educators learned they would need a project and “it suddenly came to me that Catholic Social Teaching would be our project.”
One of the reasons she found it inspiring was that at that time, “so many Catholics had no idea of Catholic Social Teaching and the mission and importance of it to the Church.” The faculty and staff recognized the importance of “helping the children live the mission over time.”
“We studied [social teaching] for over a year-and-a-half, and the faculty realized there was no place to add it as a subject,” she said. The decision was made to weave the tenets into every subject in the curriculum.
Each trimester, the curriculum focuses on one theme from the bishops’ statement “Sharing Catholic Social Teaching: Challenges and Directions” and at the end of the trimester, the students put the principles they have learned into practice with a service activity.
This trimester, for instance, there will be focus on the family and activities including asking older students to consider positive steps that can be taken at home and recording segments from television shows and discussing how they portray family happiness at home.
Calendars for faculty and family keep a focus on the social precepts as do various activities including family and community projects, charitable fundraisers and environmental activities such as beach cleanups.
“The [families] and kids are fine with it. In terms of service, it becomes a part of living and giving and caring for God’s creation,” she said. “They don’t feel forced or balk or see it as weird. They see it as part of who they are.”
Who We Are
The same can be said at other diocesan schools, whose educators and staff took time out of busy back-to-school schedules to share a sense of the importance of social teaching on their campuses.
Karen Falco, vice principal of Red Bank Catholic High School, shared that the fall semester will see “complete involvement of all classes” as most departments work together on projects.
She offered the example of the history and arts departments working together on the history of dance around the world and how dance reflects the cultures it represents. A real aim of the curriculum is to involve students active in all disciplines.
“We all work together,” Falco said, giving the example of how everyone on campus, including athletes and artists, participates in a range of activities including food and fundraising drives, supporting the troops, and nonprofits including Covenant House.
The students volunteer to work with students with disabilities from the nearby Schroth School throughout the year and including summer vacation, said Falco, calling the students’ enthusiasm “eye-opening.”
“They are actually seeing that the world is composed of all different types of people, and they open their hearts and lend their hands” willingly in numerous ways, she said.
Saint Leo the Great School, meanwhile, will be participating in a character development program known as The Positivity Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping America’s youth build stronger relationships by recognizing character strengths in themselves and others. The program uses a positive psychology philosophy to educate students about 24 character traits and how they relate to one’s self and others.
“The project was adopted because of its potential strength to fortify character and interpersonal relationships,” said principal Cornelius Begley. “Their motto, #OtherPeopleMatter, reminds our students of the importance of focusing on not just oneself, but on all those around them.”
Students in Our Lady of Sorrows School will be expanding their social teaching horizons this year in a variety of ways, too, said principal Maureen Tuohy.
The school has traditionally practiced service projects, but not on a monthly basis, Tuohy said. That will change this year as all of the children will go hands-on with projects ranging from creating placemats and greeting cards for nursing home residents, food drives for the Mount Carmel Guild, letters to troops deployed around the world and collecting socks and pajamas for local children in need.
“Mainly, our call is to serve others. We model it for the children so they see that they can [help] on a regular basis, and it becomes part of who we are,” she said.
“If our role as a Catholic school is to help them become messengers, what better way than to send messages out [in the form of tangible items],” she said. “We do what Jesus did – he did for others. Seeing and doing, that’s how we learn.”
Indeed, Filippini Sister Angelina Peliccia, principal of St. Jerome School, said the sensitivity to and awareness of the needs of others learned from such experiences is a great reflection of faith.
“It is who we are,” said Sister Angelina. The values embodied by Catholic Social Teaching, she said, “enhance our academic curriculum and lead to developing individuals with character and integrity.”
Her thoughts were echoed by Stella Monteleone, whose children, Christina and Guido, absorbed such lessons in St. Jerome School. Monteleone, a member of St. Jerome Parish, is an administrative assistant at the school who wears a number of hats. She helps out with the youth choir, coaches cross country and serves as a Eucharistic Minister of HolyCommunion in the parish.
She can often be found helping with the outreach efforts that are the hallmark of social teaching in St. Jerome.
Monteleone said as students in the school, her children benefited greatly from participating in outreach projects that gave them a bigger perspective of the world.
“They learned that we’re not all perfect,” she said, adding that her children used to be “amazed by volunteering with people with disabilities. It gave them a greater understanding of what life is all about. … In a school where everything is embodied in faith, they learned how important it is to give back.”
Tenets of Catholic Social Teaching
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops write that the Church’s social teaching is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living lives of holiness amid the challenges of modern society.
Expressed through a tradition of papal, conciliar and episcopal documents, the major themes, presented here in an abridged form, were taken from a statement developed by the Committee on Education, the Committee on Domestic Policy and the Committee on International Policy.
First presented in 1998, they serve as a timeless blueprint on the key themes at the heart of Catholic social tradition, said Resurrection Sister Cherree Power, principal of St. Veronica School, Howell, who presides over the ongoing social justice curriculum developed by the school’s faculty.
- Life and Dignity of the Human Person: “Belief in the sanctity of human life and the inherent dignity of the human person is the foundation of all the principles of Catholic social teaching.” In a time when the value and dignity of human life is being undermined, Catholic social teaching emphasizes the “belief that every person is precious, that people are more important than things and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.”
- Call to Family, Community and Participation: The family is the “central social institution that must be supported and strengthened, not undermined.” The bishops write that as society “often exalts individualism,” the Catholic tradition teaches that human beings grow and achieve fulfillment in community,” and that people have “a right and a duty” to participate in working for the common good and “well-being of all, especially the poor and vulnerable.”
- Rights and Responsibilities: Catholic tradition teaches that “human dignity can be protected and a healthy community achieved only if human rights are protected and responsibilities are met.” Every person has “a fundamental right to life and a right to those things required for human decency.” Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities “to one another, to our families and to the larger society.”
- Option for the Poor and Vulnerable: Catholic social teaching proclaims that a basic moral test is how our most vulnerable members are faring. “In a society marred by deepening divisions between rich and poor, Catholic tradition and indeed Scripture (Mt25:31-46) instructs us to put the needs of the poor and vulnerable ”
- The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers: “Work is more than a way to make a living, it is a form of continuing participation of God’s creation,” the bishops write. “If the dignity of work is to be protected, then the basic rights of workers must be respected – the right to productive work, decent and fair wages, to the organization and joining of unions, to private property and to economic initiative.”
- Solidarity: Learning to practice the virtue of solidarity “means learning that loving our neighbor has global dimensions” in this interdependent world. “Catholic social teaching proclaims that “we are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers, wherever they live; that we are one human family, whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic and ideological differences.”
- Care for God’s Creation: Showing respect for the creator by stewardship of creation. Calling care of the earth a “requirement of faith,” the bishops write that all are called to “protect people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all of God’s creation.”

The rise of hybrid natives
We all know the term “digital natives” to describe those who grew up with digital technologies as an integra →
As the boundaries between our home and working lives blur and we adapt to longer-term home working, we become vulnerable to fatigue. Use these tips to help combat burnout.
Home working is an adjustment we have all had to make, but it comes with unique challenges for everyone. At first, we were reactive and focused on business continuity and enabling productivity. Now, as we settle into longer-term remote and flexible working habits, managers and organizations need to focus on making sure that employees are safeguarded from fatigue and burnout.
The biggest challenge for remote workers is the disappearance of boundaries between their professional and personal lives. In a recent Microsoft study, 54% of parents said it had been difficult to balance household demands while working from home. Data also revealed that people are working more frequently outside of traditional hours and on weekends, with Team chats increasing by more than 200% on weekends.
The biggest challenge for remote workers is the disappearance of boundaries between their professional and personal lives.
So firstly, you need to manage the expectations of colleagues as to when you’re available. 82% of managers have said they expect more flexible work-from-home policies post pandemic, and 71% of employees would prefer to work in a hybrid style, between the home and office. But everyone’s home demands are different. Be conscious that other people might work at different times, and set expectations of when you will and won’t be available based on your schedule.
Secondly, make sure you create habits that establish your workday and boundary crossing between your work and personal time. Routines that involve showering and dressing for work, or leaving your work in a physically separate part of your home can help you establish healthy divides and reduce a sense of being “always on”.
And thirdly, make time for breaks. It’s important to remember that busy doesn’t equal successful, or even productive. As we try to stay productive, we often react to things like emails and immediate tasks to show that we’re engaged. You need to prioritize your most important work and schedule personal time each day.
New data reveals how brainwave patterns associated with stress and overwork are much higher when collaborating remotely rather than in-person. This fatigue comes from factors including reduced non-verbal cues and screen sharing with little view of the people you are engaging with. Wide-angle cameras that capture an entire room, and high-quality audio and video can help reduce this concentration fatigue.
According to Gallup, employee burnout makes people 2.6 times more likely to leave their employer as well as being less confident in their performance. By setting up the right habits for yourself, and encouraging them in your teams, you can make sure that clear communications and work boundaries are in place for longer term flexible working.

Sensitivity is inclusive, not exclusive. If you are sensitive, you are sensitive to everything. You cannot say I am only sensitive to this person but not to others. That is not only counterproductive, it’s self-defeating and not only because of religion or because of social problems or of medical problems, you must be sensitive. There is nothing more exciting for a person than to be a sensitive person because then you listen and you go out and you hear the birds chirping and it’s great. You see a person in the street, you do not know his face and you think who knows what secret that person carriers which means you learn and you learn and you learn and you become enriched to a point that afterwards it overflows.

Once upon a time, in a little town, at little farm, sat a little boy, in a very big family, his name was David. David sat with his family’s flock of sheep, playing songs the he had written on his harp, and slowly, one by one, the sheep fell asleep. David was very tired, so he played himself a tune, one he prized greatly, when an angel of the Lord appeared. “One of your sheep has strayed young shepherd, go and find her”. So, with a angel to guide him, David ran to the hills, and he found his sheep, trapped by a lion. “Get away from my sheep, or suffer my wrath, said David. Get away from me and my prey, or I’ll eat you too”, said the lion. At that, with a swift swoop, David had his sling in hand, and he knocked the lion right between the eyes with a stone, the lion fell, dead from shock. “Come on now, sheep, its not safe out here, you know that”, said David. “I’m sorry, I was having so much fun I wandered”, said the sheep, and they walked along, and David played a new song he wrote, and it went a little like this: “The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leedeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leedeth me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest me a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest me head with oil, my cup runneth over. surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever”.

OK, I’ve mangled the line by Professor Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, but a recent news story put that quote in mind — but with a twist.
Scientists writing for the Journal of Neuroscience discovered that giving men a dose of the hormone oxytocin gave them “markedly higher levels of empathy — of a similar magnitude to those only usually seen in women who are naturally more sensitive to the feelings of others.” Oxytocin, sometimes called the “cuddle chemical,” is also responsible for inducing labor in women and stimulating the sense of intense bonding after both sex and breast-feeding.
In short, a dose of oxytocin made the male subjects more like women. (Unsaid in the study is that these same male subjects suddenly all wanted to go to the powder room at the same time and to put kitty posters on their bedroom walls. They were also markedly reluctant to kill spiders and other icky things.)
Now, the scientists involved in the study are not trying to turn men into women. They’re hoping to create a drug for schizophrenics and autistic children to help them connect emotionally with others. But the news of the study was greeted almost universally as a way to make men more like women — the exact opposite of Professor Higgins’ admittedly chauvinistic desire.
But chauvinism is chauvinism. Can you imagine if someone came up with a way to make women more aggressive or reticent in expressing their feelings — in other words, more like men? How would that be greeted? I doubt with the same enthusiasm and humor as this oxytocin development.
Why does it seem that men are always seen as somehow flawed, in need of feminizing to make them right? It’s a meme seen frequently in our culture, in everything from the doofus dad to the hapless man surrounded by competent women seen in movies and sitcoms to school playgrounds. Why can’t we be happy with men and women the way God created them — to complement each other, not to be the same? After all, someone has to get that spider in the corner.

Join PFAS expert Dr. Bharat Chandramouli at the AEHS West Virtual Conference from March 14-17, 2022. An innovative presentation and poster will highlight our global ecosystem of environmental analysis capabilities including PFAS and EPA ATP 16130.
AEHS West Virtual Conference
This is the 31st Annual International Conference on Soil, Water, Energy, and Air. For the past thirty years, this annual conference has helped bring the environmental science community closer together by providing a forum to facilitate the exchange of information of technological advances, new scientific achievements, and the effectiveness of standing environmental regulation programs.
SGS expert, Dr. Bharat Chandramouli will present on EPA ATP 16130 and Advances in the Measurement of Dioxins and POPs by GC-MS/MS on March 14th, 2022 in Session 04: Chlorinated Compounds 1 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time.
Promulgated methods such as EPA 1613B for the analysis of chlorinated dioxins and furans, PCBs, and other halogenated compounds currently use GC-HRMS (high resolution magnetic sector mass spectrometry) to achieve high sensitivity, specificity, and reliable quantification. These techniques have been used to inform decades of remediation and litigation projects.
Tune in to learn more about our unique objectives, analysis and techniques.
Catch Dr. Bharat Chandramouli’s poster on Occurrence of PFAS in Wastewater and Leachate Streams and Best Practices from on March 14th, 2022 from 12:00 – 3:00 PM Pacific Time.
Monitoring of PFAS across wastewater compartments is a critical tool in assessing fate, transport, effects, and exposure. Two decades worth of PFAS monitoring have focused on a short list of carboxylates and sulfonates as PFOA and PFOS. Given the phaseout of C8, perfluorinated acid chemistries and their replacement with shorter chain, telomer, and per/polyfluoro ether equivalents, there is an urgent need to understand their occurrence and fate across the wastewater system.
Attendance at this virtual conference requires registration and a fee.

The Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) salutes our “Stars and Stripes” flag on this, its 245th year of being standardized. Flag Day began July 14, 1777, when Congress made it mandatory for the United States flag to have thirteen stars and thirteen stripes. A few years later, when two new states (Vermont and Kentucky) entered the Union, Congress passed a new Flag Act that allowed for two new stars and two new stripes. A generation later, Congress realized that the pattern of the flag would change so far as to be unrecognizable if stars and stripes continued to be added. So in 1818, the third Flag Act mandated that a new star could be added, only on the date of July 4th/Independence Day, but that the number of stripes would remain at 13 to represent the original 13 states.
Interestingly, if a 51st state came into the Union today, the flag’s design might change dramatically. If Puerto Rico, for example, became a U.S. state rather than remaining a United States territory, their pro-statehood New Progressive Party proposed flag would have the field of blue containing 51 stars in concentric circles! You can see this design and other proposed 51-star designs at the Flag Institute website here.
Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia are both mentioned as possibilities for new states. If one or both became states and our flag changed, this might be the first substantial change in our flag design in over two hundred years, but definitely the first added state(s) in over 60 years. Hawaii entered the Union on August 21, 1959, which meant its star was added to the flag on July 4, 1960.
The United States flag represents the country, but also represents the country’s people…especially her Veterans, who have fought for her both domestically and abroad. The VLB is proud to celebrate Flag Day and all the Veterans here in Texas.
The VLB is happy to provide any needed help for these American heroes. The mission for the VLB is “to ensure that we offer the very best package of Veterans benefits in the country and those of us who work for the VLB strive to meet those goals every day. For more than 70 years, we have had the honor to serve Veterans, Military Members and their families in Texas, and we look forward to keeping that promise in the years to come.” Call 1–800–252–8387, email firstname.lastname@example.org, or visit vlb.texas.gov to see the different benefits available.
If you are a Veteran, thank you for your service. Click Here to Sign Up to stay informed on your benefits with the Texas Veterans Land Board.

Calling Canada – How to Learn Math Online At Home
If you’re looking for a great way to learn mathematics, then you’ve come to the right place. This article provides a few tips and tricks to get you started. You’ll learn about the different aspects of number sense, including its relationships and rules, as well as the factorial system and the rules governing the division of numbers. If you’re looking for a math tutor online, you’ve come to the right place.
The ability to count with understanding is a critical number skill. Along with mastering counting, children must learn how to perceive subgroups. Different mental strategies are triggered when given objects in varying configurations. For example, six stamps in a group of four prompts a child to think that four and two make six. However, different mental strategies may be used for the same object. To help children develop number sense, consider providing opportunities for your child to practice number sense by asking him or her a question related to the concept.
Good number sense develops early on. Children with strong number sense can manipulate numbers in different ways and can estimate the answer before calculating. They can spot patterns and connections among numbers and can predict what will happen next. Developing number sense helps children understand more complex math concepts. These activities are easily adapted for children of various ages. Moreover, children benefit from activities that help them see and compare numbers in natural ways.
Learning math facts without number sense is counterproductive and can lead to a wide range of classroom practices. Ineffective teaching methods such as speed pressure, timed testing, and blind memorization may result in poor learning outcomes. High-achieving students are capable of developing number sense through the process of connecting abstract numbers with concrete examples. They can also develop their number sense by practicing counting games. These games can help your child develop number sense even from early grades.
Calling Canada – Number relations
If you’re looking for a fun way to learn mathematics, number relations could be the perfect choice. This online course features videos from professor Jo Boaler, and includes problem-solving activities and demonstrations. The videos also feature examples of math in action, such as juggling and dance. The pedagogy behind this course is centered on active engagement and no prerequisites. But before you can begin learning, you need to take a look at the course description.
A strong verbal representation of quantities and relationships is essential for students with dyslexia. Most people develop a visual-spatial mental representation. For students with dyslexia, however, it can be challenging to create consistent, descriptive verbalizations. The language that they use to express mathematical procedures is also important. This requires a lot of patience. But once they have established a verbal representation, they can begin to apply math procedures and written computations.
To understand the motivation of a student for learning mathematics, it’s crucial to understand their interests. In order to develop a good self-concept, students need to understand their own learning style. Whether you want to learn through a textbook or study online, it’s essential to understand how the learning style works best for you. And once you understand your own learning style, you’ll find that number relations are a natural choice for online math studies.
The best way to learn Divisibility rules is to practice using them. Try playing the Divisibility Challenge game to review these rules with your students. You can choose from several different types of cards and practice which number is divisible by two. You can also try the game with your interactive whiteboard or 1:1 classroom devices. You can even learn Divisibility rules online at home with the help of a teacher. Whether you use a teacher’s whiteboard or a computer, learning the rules can be a great way to reinforce this concept in your home.
For a home learning option, try a divisibility rules PowerPoint that is well structured and includes practice activities for children to complete. You can find a variety of slides on the topic on different websites. You can even create a worksheet from a PowerPoint presentation. You can easily modify and add your own activities for your students to practice. Learning Divisibility rules online will be a great way to reinforce what you’re teaching to your child.
A lesson on divisibility will provide a solid foundation for your child’s mathematics education. Understanding how numbers are broken down will help them reason better, solve problems, and understand the process of mathematics. Using divisibility rules will help your child gain a deeper understanding of numbers, so they can use these rules to their advantage. They are also useful when it comes to comparing numbers and understanding the relationships between them.
When you’re learning math online, you may encounter the term factorial. Factorials are questions about numbers that involve the sum of all possible outcomes of an event. To find a factorial, you multiply the number of possible events by one-half, then add two to each other. You can also find factorials as a part of a problem-solving program. Using these resources can help you master this difficult concept.
One useful tool to learn Factorials is the Full Precision Calculator. It allows you to perform calculations with much higher precision. You’ll be able to learn math facts faster using this program than ever before. Using a full-precision calculator will help you calculate even more precisely. The universe is thought to contain 60 million atoms, or the number Googol, which is a single digit followed by one hundred zeros.
Graphing calculators are useful tools for learning math. They can be used for a variety of purposes and can provide more data than paper and pen. A graphing calculator can also be used to manipulate data and can make it easier for students to finish their homework in a timely manner. There are several benefits to using a graphing calculator for learning math online at home. The following are just a few of the reasons why.
The TI-84 Plus CE is the best all-around graphing calculator. It features a high-resolution color display, rechargeable batteries, and most popular applications pre-loaded. The Casio PRIZM FX-CG50 is an affordable option. It has a high-resolution screen and picture plot technology. It also offers a simple, intuitive menu. This calculator is recommended for students who do not need advanced functions.
Graphing calculators are ideal for students who do not have extensive math background. They allow students to perform calculations quickly, with ease, and they are easy to use. They can also be used to connect different mathematical models, which helps students develop their skills. The sixth purpose of graphing calculators is still to aid students with problem-solving. This will require future studies, but they are already useful for learning math online at home.

MINOCYCLINE HYDROCHLORIDE- minocycline hydrochloride capsule
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc.
Minocycline hydrochloride USP, is a semisynthetic derivative of tetracycline, 4,7-Bis(dimethylamino)-1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12a-octahydro-3,10,12,12a-tetrahydroxy-1,11-dioxo-2-naphthacenecarboxamide monohydrochloride.
Its structural formula is:
C23 H27 N3 O7 •HCl M.W. 493.94
Minocycline hydrochloride capsules USP for oral administration contain minocycline hydrochloride, USP equivalent to 50 mg, 75 mg, or 100 mg of minocycline and the following inactive ingredients: lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, sodium starch glycolate, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, gelatin, D&C Yellow #10 aluminum lake, FD&C Blue #1 aluminum lake, FD&C Blue #2 aluminum lake, FD&C Red #40 aluminum lake, black iron oxide, propylene glycol and shellac.
In addition 50 mg capsules contains D&C Red #33 aluminum lake, FD&C Red #3 aluminum lake and FD&C Yellow #6 aluminum lake; 75 mg capsules contains FDA/E172 black iron oxide and 100 mg capsules contains D&C Red #28 aluminum lake, FD&C Blue #1 aluminum lake, FD&C Red #40 aluminum lake and FDA/E172 red iron oxide.
Following a single dose of two 100 mg capsules of minocycline hydrochloride administered to 18 normal fasting adult volunteers, maximum serum concentrations were attained in 1 to 4 hours (average 2.1 hours) and ranged from 2.1 to 5.1 mcg/mL (average 3.5 mcg/mL). The serum half-life in the normal volunteers ranged from 11.1 to 22.1 hours (average 15.5 hours).
When minocycline hydrochloride capsules were given concomitantly with a high-fat meal, which included dairy products, the extent of absorption of minocycline hydrochloride capsules was unchanged compared to dosing under fasting conditions. The mean Tmax was delayed by one hour when administered with food, compared to dosing under fasting conditions.
Minocycline capsules may be administered with or without food.
In previous studies with other minocycline dosage forms, the minocycline serum half-life ranged from 11 to 16 hours in 7 patients with hepatic dysfunction, and from 18 to 69 hours in 5 patients with renal dysfunction. The urinary and fecal recovery of minocycline when administered to 12 normal volunteers was one-half to one-third that of other tetracyclines.
Mechanism of Action
The tetracyclines are primarily bacteriostatic and are thought to exert their antimicrobial effect by the inhibition of protein synthesis. The tetracyclines, including minocycline, have a similar antimicrobial spectrum of activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Cross-resistance of these organisms to tetracycline is common.
Minocycline has been shown to be active against most strains of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections as described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGEsection:
Fusobacterium nucleatum subspecies fusiforme
Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum
Treponema pallidum subspecies pertenue
1 When penicillin is contraindicated, tetracyclines are alternative drugs in the treatment of infections caused by the cited microorganisms.
Susceptibility Test Methods
For specific information regarding susceptibility test interpretive criteria and associated test methods and quality control standards recognized by FDA for this drug, please see: https://www.fda.gov/STIC.

- Actinomycosis caused by Actinomyces israelii.
- Infections caused by Clostridium species.
In acute intestinal amebiasis, minocycline may be a useful adjunct to amebicides.
In severe acne , minocycline may be useful adjunctive therapy.
Oral minocycline is indicated in the treatment of asymptomatic carriers of Neisseria meningitidis to eliminate meningococci from the nasopharynx. In order to preserve the usefulness of minocycline in the treatment of asymptomatic meningococcal carriers, diagnostic laboratory procedures, including serotyping and susceptibility testing, should be performed to establish the carrier state and the correct treatment. It is recommended that the prophylactic use of minocycline be reserved for situations in which the risk of meningococcal meningitis is high.
Oral minocycline is not indicated for the treatment of meningococcal infection.
Although no controlled clinical efficacy studies have been conducted, limited clinical data show that oral minocycline hydrochloride has been used successfully in the treatment of infections caused by Mycobacterium marinum.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of minocycline hydrochloride capsules, USP and other antibacterial drugs, minocycline hydrochloride capsules, USP should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

The reaction of fear when encountering any snake is natural. In the case of corals, we are well aware that they are venomous. This amplifies the concern of being bitten by one. Indeed, corals possess a potent neurotoxic venom.
Annually, some 2,300 cases of ophidian bites are reported in the country.
Of this total, only 2 to 4% correspond to coral snake bites reported at a hospital level.
Corals are short, slender and nocturnal snakes, but they may be active during the day. They are not aggressive. They are small-eyed and small-mouthed and have two tiny fangs. Their body color depends on the species, but they are generally a striking dark red with yellow and black interspersed rings.
The question is: What is the order of the colors? Generally, the order is red-yellow-black-yellow, and it repeats.
There are several species of coral in the Channel forests. One of the most common is called Micrurus nigrocinctus. On its body, the yellow color has rather whitish shades.
False corals are also present in our forests, although they are very similar to true corals and are not poisonous.
During the hot hours of the day, corals take refuge in dark, cool places among tree roots, logs, stones, leaf litter and burrows. They occupy a wide variety of wild habitats, such as riverbanks, streams and swampy areas, and may venture into cultivated areas near forests. When it feels threatened, it hides its head under its body and raises the tip of its tail, wagging it to attract attention to its limb. As soon as the threat disappears, it quickly escapes to safety. It is recommended to use personal protective equipment when engaging in activities in wooded areas, and never attempt to approach or handle a wild animal.
- Average size between 50 and 75 centimeters.
- They feed on other small snakes, frogs and lizards.
- Their venom paralyzes its victim quickly, then engulfs it.
- They lay their eggs under leaves and organic matter and incubate them for 2 to 3 months.
- In English, a Boy Scout rhyme warns of the order of coral colors: red touch yellow, kill a fellow; red touch black, good for Jack. In English it means: Red touch yellow, kill a fellow; red touch black, good for Jack.

Tyre giant Michelin has handed over one of its facilities to the NHS - so it can vaccinate thousands of patients every month in the fight against coronavirus.
The Michelin Athletic Club, which is close to the company's Campbell Road factory in Stoke, has been transformed into a vaccination centre which has two clinics, a doctor's office and a staff room.
The company has also donated three car parks adjacent to the building so patients can reach the venue easily.
The centre is one of six developed by the Stoke-on-Trent South West Primary Healthcare Trust for use as a community vaccination hub.
Karen Riley, organisational lead for the Primary Care Network Covid-19 Vaccination Programme for Stoke-on-Trent South West, said: "The club is an excellent venue for us to deliver the vaccination programme for the city.
"The support from the Michelin staff has been amazing and it is very generous of the company to donate this facility to the NHS."
This is not the first time the Michelin Athletic Club has been used in the national relief effort.
In June, Michelin set-up a temporary manufacturing centre at the club where thousands of staff and volunteers produced more than 13,000 face masks for colleagues, care homes, charities and the community.
Lee Machin, general manager of the Michelin Athletic Club, said: "Safety is our number one priority and people from different parts of Michelin UK have worked together in the pandemic to support our community.
"Seeing the vaccination centre being set up here is hugely rewarding.

Baskin-Robbins is an American chain of ice cream and cake specialty shop restaurants. Its parent company is Dunkin' Brands.
Based in Canton, Massachusetts, Baskin-Robbins was founded in 1945 by Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins in Glendale, California.
It claims to be the world's largest chain of ice cream specialty stores, with more than 8,000 locations, including nearly 2,500 shops in the United States and over 5,000 in other countries. Baskin-Robbins sells ice cream in nearly 50 countries.
The company is known for its "31 flavors" slogan, with the idea that a customer could have a different flavor every day of any month. The slogan came from the Carson-Roberts advertising agency (which later merged into Ogilvy & Mather) in 1953. Baskin and Robbins believed that people should be able to sample flavors for free until they found one they wanted to buy.
In 2005, the company's "BR" logo was updated such that it doubles as the number "31" to represent the 31 flavors, with the "31" formed by the parts of the letters "BR" which are rendered in pink color, in contrast to the rest of the logo which is rendered in blue.
The company has introduced more than 1,300 flavors since 1945, including the 2019 addition of vegan and non-dairy flavors.

Chapter 1: The Players
On 25th February 1601, Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex and one-time Viceroy of Ireland, was executed at the Tower of London. The thirty-five year old Earl had been condemned for treason, following a wild dash through the streets of London, with some 300 hundred men, in an attempt to raise the citizens against the Government. Essex had been convicted by a jury of his peers, including his sister, Penelope’s, husband, Lord Rich, and many former friends and colleagues.
In retrospect, it is very difficult to understand what Essex hoped to achieve by this most disorganised and futile of insurrections, but although Elizabeth I had been reluctant to sign the death warrant, and had torn up a first copy, ultimately there could be no remission for a man who created trouble wherever he went.
At his trial Essex claimed that he was a loyal subject of the Queen, and that his only intention had been to rid her of her ‘evil counsellors’, a favourite mediaeval excuse for rebellion that had often been used to hide attempts on the throne. However, it is difficult to imagine that Essex was making a serious bid for the Crown himself, unless he were so confident of public support that he believed he would be enthroned by popular acclamation.
Although, like almost all of Elizabeth’s councillors and courtiers, he had royal blood, there were many far nearer to the throne than he. Sally Varlow, biographer of his sister, Penelope Devereux, seems convinced that Essex was in fact, the illegitimate great-grandson of Henry VIII, but even if this were true (in our view a highly dubious claim) there would still be all of the Carey and Knollys men ahead of him in the queue.
We are left then with taking Essex at his word that he wanted to rid the Queen of evil counsellors, by whom we must infer Sir Robert Cecil, who had taken the place of Elizabeth’s closest advisor for forty years, his father, Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley.
Essex and Cecil had a long history. On the death of Essex’ father, he had confided his son to the care of William Cecil, and the two boys shared a schoolroom. They were of similar age, and bore the same Christian name, but, other than in the matter of overweening ambition, do not seem to have shared any other characteristics.
Cecil was not a robust man, and he probably suffered from scoliosis – Elizabethans were less careful of giving offence than we are, and his physical disabilities were often laughed at. Nevertheless, he was a thinker, an administrator and a diligent man of detail. He gathered information, wrote letters and reports, weighed details and never dreamed of being a court gallant. Essex, on the other hand, was a handsome, flamboyant, physically brave and charismatic presence. He led men in battle, braved the high seas and demanded Elizabeth’s attention. The two were never going to see eye to eye.
Elizabeth needed both types of advisor and, although she seems to have been personally drawn to the swashbuckling hero type that Essex represented, she valued the careful industry of Cecil.
Essex’ star first rose in the aftermath of the Armada, when he stepped into the roles previously held by his stepfather, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. He became Elizabeth's Master of Horse, a role that necessitated regular, frequent contact with her. Elizabeth was aged 55 in the year of the Armada and Essex around 23. Nevertheless, they rode together, played cards, danced, talked and quarrelled. She treated him both as a son, and also as a suitor.
The hyperbolic conventions of courtly love, especially as played out by a couple with such a disparity of age, seem faintly distasteful to modern ears, but we should bear in mind that for Elizabeth, this trope was a way of emphasising her role as the all-powerful ‘mistress’, in a way that was culturally acceptable in a society that saw women as essentially inferior. For more on this, we recommend Susan Doran’s excellent ‘Elizabeth I and her Circle’.
Elizabeth may have been vain, but she was not stupid, and she is unlikely to have really believed that all her male courtiers were in love with her.
Essex, young, and of a rash and impetuous character, expected the Queen to favour him to the exclusion of all others, but Elizabeth was having none of it. He might be the most attractive man at court, but there were plenty of other talented contenders for her favour, such as Sir Walter Raleigh or the Earl of Southampton, as well as the more sober Cecil.
Initially, Essex seems to have been on good terms with Cecil and Raleigh – interceding with Elizabeth when she and Cecil had a misunderstanding, and being of one mind with Raleigh on the French campaign in 1591, but as time progressed, friction and jealousy arose.

The debate around technology, whether it’s a boon or a bane for humanity is age-old. Tons of science fiction stories out there warn us of its ill-effects. Much like the novel Frankenstein, this “technology out of control” story gets repeated a lot.
The Frankenstein complex is even stronger amongst employees in the context of offices. When the time clock was introduced in England, industrial workers looked upon it as a device to monitor them on work hours. Closer home, in Indian offices mechanically punched time cards were misused by employees engaging in practices of buddy punching; and companies started scouting for a better way to tackle this concern.
The question is about the approach. Should companies use technology to control & monitor employees or should they use it to increase efficiency, complement their skills and boost their productivity? For instance, in many companies the use of social media during office hours is restricted. It is considered a waste of clocking time. However, employee positive workplaces view it as a de-stresser. They believe few minutes of social interaction with friends & family helps employees to get back to work- refreshed!
Employee positive companies extend the same approach to their day-to-day operations & long-term people strategy, the common thread being technology with a human face. A face that the employees are comfortable with, one that helps them grow, eases the pressure, smoothens the process, allows them time & boosts their output. These companies use technology that validates increased performance and employee well-being and not just for cost reduction or employee checks.
Let’s understand with a few examples.
AI Powered Boss
What happens when we start seeing robots assisting our bosses? Gartner predicts that by 2018, three million employees worldwide will be supervised by Artificial Intelligence (AI). It’s hard to imagine what the transformation will look like. Employee positive companies view it as a transformation that will safeguard the warmth of human interactions in offices leaving only people management to the reporting hierarchy whereas the Roboboss will be responsible for data driven decision making such as ranking opposing perspectives to solve disputes and disagreements in the team, business analysis, performance analysis, pattern recognition etc. The rationale behind this AI shift is to exclude any impact of emotions and mood on important decisions and at the same time negate any human prejudice that may hamper a working relationship within the team.
IOT will by widely adopted by employee positive companies as it places the workforce convenience at the center of office design innovations. In the parlance of smart offices IoT is going to revolutionize entry access, water, lighting, health, in-office ordering, air-conditioning, meeting room and desk booking, security and other smart tech. The control will be made available at the touch of a button, or even better in an app embedded within your own phone. The ability to digitally control & smart manage physical spaces will give power to the employees keeping in mind their comfort, convenience & user-friendliness.
In today’s world, flexibility breeds satisfaction and hence shift to mobile devices will stand for a progressive culture with remote working or travel friendly possibilities for employees. Employee positive companies seek to blur the lines between all office branches, cafeterias & common areas, public spots & an employee’s own home. Usage of an employee’s own device is helping this shift. Adoption of touch interfaces that the millennial population is so used to; in their personal lives, and extending the same technology in the office space is smoothening this transformation. Let’s take the example of access management at offices. Traditionally, most offices use a paper based log-book for visitors and access cards for employees. Both ways it’s a process that involves carrying those unfashionable cards around, restricts mobility in-case the card has been misplaced or an employee forgets to carry it. Visitors also feel ripped off their privacy when a log-book open to all; records their personal details. Employee positive companies understand this as an inconvenience and adopt touch-based mobile & cloud based, self-serviced technology, much like Veris, to record & validate employee/ visitor information & manage all workflows at the click of a button. The mobile app doubles as a digital identity for all employees completely bypassing the need of an access card. Not only that, it also helps employees receive important alerts & notifications on their phone directly; be it the arrival of their invited guests or an evacuation alert, be it the confirmation of a meeting or a visitors request to access wifi.

The Trump administration’s two-day “Peace to Prosperity” workshop in Manama, Bahrain, came to a close on Wednesday. To paraphrase Shakespeare, it was an event full of pomp and splendor, signifying little to nothing.
The conference was supposed to be based on the administration’s “economic plan”—apparently dreamed up primarily by Jared Kushner and Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt—to turn the Palestinians into a thriving people living in peace with Israel. The “political plan” is supposed to stay under wraps until sometime after the Israeli reelections in October.
In the lead-up to the conference, the administration unveiled its 40-page, 10-year, $50-billion economic plan for the Palestinians. It speaks of $27.5 billion for projects in the West Bank and Gaza along with $9.1 billion, $7.4 billion, and $6.3 billion respectively for Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon—countries with sizable Palestinian populations. Aims include “doubling the Palestinian gross domestic product, reducing the Palestinian poverty rate by 50 percent and cutting the sky-high Palestinian unemployment rate to nearly single digits.”
It sounds large-hearted and ambitious. The problem is that it’s cut off from reality.
To begin with, the Palestinians reject the plan out of hand. They see the administration as—apart from Israel—Public Enemy No. 1 for such unforgivable sins as recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and cutting funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which keeps Palestinians in a permanent “refugee” condition. Precisely one Palestinian businessman broke an official boycott and showed up at the conference.
The Arab world in general, for that matter, took a dim view of the conference. Lebanon, too, boycotted it, while Jordan and Egypt—also supposed beneficiaries—sent only mid-level officials. If the administration could claim one success, it’s that the finance ministers of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates showed up. But even if that reflected genuine support for the plan, it’s of no avail with the plan—so far—dead in the water.
Indeed, just who is supposed to fund all the projects remains a mystery. As Eyal Zisser, an Israeli academic and astute commentator, points out: “It isn’t entirely clear…where the money will come from. The Americans hope Persian Gulf emirates will donate generously, but these countries have a reputation for being quick to promise money, whether on behalf of the Palestinians or other regional issues, without actually following through.”
The plan also includes an item that’s profoundly troubling to Israel: a transportation artery of some kind between Gaza and the West Bank that would cut straight across Israeli territory. So far Israel has succeeded to prevent Gaza-based Hamas from taking over the West Bank. But once Gaza-based Hamas can funnel operatives, weaponry, or whatever else it wants to the West Bank through the envisioned “corridor,” the situation gets precarious.
And that points to a larger problem with the plan: it’s full of visions of Palestinian progress at a time when the Palestinians are divided between the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority, a corrupt dictatorship, and Gaza, an Islamist entity; both these entities profoundly hate Israel and see it as having no right to exist; and furthermore, the two Palestinian entities are—at least on the governmental level—deeply hostile to each other.
On the whole, the Trump administration has made good moves in the Middle East—from treating Israel as a respected ally instead of an irritant or a wayward “friend” that needs to be set on the right course, to putting Iran in a well-deserved economic pressure cooker. The “Peace to Prosperity” plan, however, is an extension of illusions of previous administrations. As long as the Palestinians hate Israel and show no aptitude for peace or democracy, they’re a problem for Israel to manage and don’t deserve the coddling.

Plains Phlox - Phlox andicola
State Rank Reason (see State Rank above)
Plains phlox reaches the western margin of its range in Montana's eastern counties. It has been documented from relatively few locations, but surveys during its early blooming season have been few, and additional spring inventory work may locate more populations. It likely tolerates grazing and may benefit from some level of disturbance.
- Details on Status Ranking and Review
Score1 - Moderate: Generally 10,000-100,000 individuals.
Score0-1 - Widespread to Sporadically Distributed: Species has a distribution in the state such that it is borderline in its classification or its distribution is too imprecisely documented to place it in one class.
Area of Occupancy
Score1-2 - Low to Moderate. Occurs in 4-25 Subwatersheds (6th Code HUC’s), though the species' distribution is not sufficiently documented to place it within one class.
Score1 - Moderate: Species is restricted to a specific habitat that is more widely distributed or to several restricted habitats and is typically dependent upon relatively unaltered, good-quality habitat (C Values of 5-7).
CommentGenerally limited to sandy soils.
ScoreNA - Rank factor not assessed.
Score0-1 - Low to Medium.
CommentNo specific threats have been identified.
Score0 - Low Vulnerability: Species does not have any unusual or specific life history or biological attributes or limted reproductive potential which makes it susceptible to extirpation from stochastic events or other adverse impacts to its habitat and thus slow to recover.
Raw Conservation Status Score
3 to 6 total points scored out of a possible 16 (Rarity factors and threats only).
Plains Phlox is a perennial herb with loosely tufted stems that are 4-10 cm high arising from creeping rhizomes. The 5-8 pairs of opposite, linear leaves have prominent midveins and whitish bases and are 10-25 mm long, ca. 1 mm wide and come to a sharp point. Foliage is glabrous to sparsely hairy. Stems are white. 1-5 white flowers are borne at the stem tips. Each flower has 5 petals and a tubular corolla. The calyx is also tubular, with 5 lobes, tangled long hairs, and 6-11 mm length.
Flowering occurs in May and early June.
Phlox hoodii and P. bryoides have shorter leaves, only 1 flower per stem, and shorter corolla lobes (3-5 mm). Leaves of P. alyssifolia are 2-5 mm wide, and the calyx tube is equal to the lobes. Dimensions of the largest P. hoodii plants may overlap with those of the smallest P. andicola. Flowers are needed for positive identification, and hybridization has been reported among these species (Great Plains Flora Association 1986).

(Observations spanning multiple months or years are excluded from time charts)
Plains phlox occupies a wide range of habitats in the center of its range, including sparsely vegetated outcrops, sandplains, and heavy alkaline clays (Barr 1983). In Montana, it is known mainly from sandy soils in grasslands and ponderosa pine woodland, often associated with sparsely vegetated erosional blowouts and loose sand below sandstone outcrops. Dominants in this habitat include Stipa comata, Bouteloua gracilis, Agropyron smithii, Carex heliophila, and C. filifolia. Associated species in Sheridan and Carter counties include Psoralea argophylla, P. lanceolata, Calamovilfa longifolia, Andropogon scoparius, Artemisia ludoviciana, A. frigida, Rhus trilobata, Poa sandbergii and Opuntia polyacantha.
Given the large size of some Montana populations of plains phlox, its distribution across at least four counties, and its close resemblance to Phlox hoodii, it seems likely that Phlox andicola is more widespread than current records suggest. It is characterized as "frequent on dry prairies and plains in western South Dakota" (Van Bruggen 1985), and early-season surveys will likely provide additional Montana records for this species.
Ecological Systems Associated with this Species
Plains phlox is long-lived, with very deep, woody roots (Barr 1983). Prairie phlox species can reproduce by rhizomes as well as by seeds, and are generally adapted to insect-pollination. This species occupies sparsely vegetated, mid-successional habitats, and is one of several sand-loving Species of Concern often found where the habitat is extensive and/or in good condition. POLLINATORS
The following animal species have been reported as pollinators of this plant species or its genus where their geographic ranges overlap: Bombus vagans
, Bombus flavifrons
, Bombus melanopygus
, Bombus pensylvanicus
, Bombus bimaculatus
, Bombus griseocollis
, Bombus impatiens
, and Bombus kirbiellus
(Shaw and Taylor 1986, Colla and Dumesh 2010).
Montana populations are in sparsely vegetated habitats that receive little use by livestock, and the low growing form of Phlox andicola makes it resistant to browsing. The species appears to be adapted to small-scale disturbance, and its habitat may be fostered by management that involves some disturbance. One of the larger populations documented was in a calving pasture. Another survey reported it to be particularly vigorous in burned areas.

“I’m amazed that so many people are so amazed that a girl built a motorcycle.” – Dr. Eva Håkansson
There are many types of different adrenaline junkies in the world, as well as those who have a definite need for exhilaration combined with some element of risk. Most of us immediately think of race car driving when it comes to those speed seekers, and that’s a sport that we’ve seen being offered improvements via 3D printing from inspiring advanced student projects to decked out vehicles eventually meant to run on the professional track. And then there are those who prefer to ride—and often race—motorcycles. Enjoying speed and excitement, but with much less protection, motorcyclists are a breed all their own, enjoying high speeds whether on the track or in a more natural landscape.
Technology, and that on the extreme cutting edge, has always played a large role in the automotive industry, and we’ve certainly seen our share of 3D printing in the motorcycle realm already, from racing bikes to fully functional motorcycles, and more.
Now, LulzBot 3D printers have been responsible for aiding in the construction of a custom electric motorcycle designed by Dr. Eva Håkansson. Originally from Sweden, and a self-professed “speed junkie and tree hugger,” Håkansson recently earned her PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of Denver in Colorado, where she says that the field changed her world. She also consults in the area of racing and electric vehicles built for high performance.
In a recent case study, the LulzBot team revealed more about the story behind the KillaJoule, and the woman who is busy setting world records with the electric motorcycle, currently at 248.746 mph. While many may perceive her as someone who is not your average woman, she’s certainly not your average engineer either.
“The real purpose of the KillaJoule is what I call eco-activism in disguise,” Håkansson said. “We want to change the general public opinion about electric vehicles and particularly changing the image that they’re slow … by building something that is so fast that nobody can ignore it.”
The project is all-consuming, and one that she works on virtually every day. Her husband Bill Dubé, a research engineer at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), also helps with advancements on the KillaJoule.
And as so many others around the world too have professed, Håkansson has great admiration for the LulzBot TAZ 3D printer, as well as INOVA-1800, a premium material she is very fond of using, as evidenced with the speedometer housing for the KillaJoule.
“It prints beautifully, it’s strong, the surface finish is great, and the print quality is great,” Håkansson said.
Other parts, such as that for the sidecar, were printed using PLA. And while all of the benefits of 3D printing are obviously in motion for Håkansson and the innovative KillaJoule, the LulzBot TAZ 5 offers specific perks in that it can print with so many different materials, allowing her to have great versatility and continued self-sustainability in her engineering ventures with one goal: to always become faster.
“There is no more wonderful, beautiful way of creating aerodynamic parts like spoilers, leading edges, and so on than 3D printing,” Håkansson said. “3D printing is the absolute optimal way of doing that.”
And electric vehicles, as Håkansson states, give her everything she needs in a high-performance machine, including the torque and power—without pollution. That’s compelling, and something we’d all like to see become more prevalent. As you view the design (see the images and video below), you may wonder why the futuristic looking KillaJoule, which took six years to build, is called a motorcycle.
“The KillaJoule is under international competition rules defined as a motorcycle, and the reason it is defined as a motorcycle is because it has two wheels in line,” explains Håkansson. “It has a front wheel that steers. It has a rear wheel that drives. That makes it a motorcycle.”
While she may be gaining great attention for an electric vehicle built by a female engineer that’s breaking records, Håkansson is certainly spreading the word about the benefits of using 3D printing technology in terms of speed, skipping the middleman, affordability—and with the TAZ, the ability to download a file, turn the printer on, and walk away while it’s working. Her next project will be another motorcycle featuring many more 3D printed parts made by the TAZ 5 3D printer.
“It’s opened a whole new dimension of manufacturing,” Håkansson said. “You can do things you can’t even dream of making otherwise.”
The TAZ 5 3D printer has been a mainstay in desktop 3D printing since its introduction, as has its next-generation update, the TAZ 6. Be sure to check out Håkansson’s website for more updates as she continues to 3D print—and set records. Discuss in the 3D Printed Motorcycle forum at 3DPB.com.[Sources: LulzBot; Dr. Eva Håkansson]

Fault-slip data were collected from an area of relatively young faulting in a seismically active part of the Nevada Test Site 12 km NW of Mercury, Nevada. The data come primarily from intensely faulted Miocene tuffaceous sedimentary rocks in Hampel Wash, which is bounded on the north by the Quaternary ENE trending Rock Valley fault and on the south by a parallel unnamed fault. Data from faults with known sense of displacement exhibit a bimodal distribution of slip angles (rakes). Faults exhibiting steep rakes (typically 75 ° to 90 °) cluster about a N30 °-35 °E strike; most dip 65 ° to 80 ° . Faults having shallow rakes (generally less than 20 °) exhibit a wide range of strikes (from N6 °W to N80 °E) and mostly dip between 80 ° and 90 °. The predominant N30 °-35 °E strike of the steep-rake faults and the quasi-conjugate nature of a consistent subset of the shallowrake faults suggest a maximum horizontal stress orientation of about N30 °-35 °E and a least horizontal principal stress direction of N55 °-60 °W. Analysis of the data using a least squares iterative inversion to determine a mean deviatoric principal stress tensor indicatesa normal-faulting stress regime (S1 vertical) with principal stress axes in approximately horizontal and vertical directions (S1, trend = N19 °E and plunge = 82 °N; S2, N30 °E and 8 °S; and S3, N60 °W and 2 °E). The maximum horizontal stress, S2, was found to be nearly intermediate in magnitude between S1 and S3. The N60 °W least horizontal principal stress orientation obtained from the fault-slip inversion agrees with our geometric analysis of the data and is consistent with a modem least horizontal principal stress orientation of N50 °-70 °W inferred from earthquake focal mechanisms, well bore breakouts, and hydraulic fracturing measurements in the vicinity of the Nevada Test Site. This solution fits all the data well, except for a subset of strike-slip faults that strike N30 °-45 °E, subparallel to the normal faults of the data set. Nearly pure dip-slip and pure strike-slip movement on similarly oriented faults, however, cannot be accommodated in a single stress regime. Superposed sets of striae observed on some faults suggest temporal rotations of the regional stress field or local rotations within the region of the fault zone.

I have long said that our choices will determine how this downcycle ends. We can confront and resolve our problems — or take the seemingly easy way of banana republics. Print money, socialize the losses of elites and the middle class, continue to run America as before — deny our errors and refuse to learn. Experienced observers note that we are taking the latter path.
As many have noted, this is a typical emerging nation crisis — but taking place in the developed nations. Europe and Japan confront similar problems. We all have a combination (in different measures) of excess debt, bankrupt social retirement systems, lethal demographics, and failing legitimacy.
What gives this crisis a special degree of humor is our geopolitical experts, still nattering on as if we were Rome in the 21st Century. To see this contrast, fantasy vs reality, compare the views given here with those of Thomas Barnett’s presentation to the House Armed Services Committee (Barnett’s statement is here; Zenpundit’s analysis is here).
Please read these two articles in full. Links for more information are at the end.
- “The Quiet Coup“, Simon Johnson, The Atlantic, May 2009
- “Welcome to America, the World’s Scariest Emerging Market“, Desmond Lachman, op-ed in the Washington Post, 29 March 2009.
(1) “The Quiet Coup“, Simon Johnson, The Atlantic, May 2009 — Summary:
The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government-a state of affairs that more typically describes emerging markets, and is at the center of many emerging-market crises. If the IMF’s staff could speak freely about the U.S., it would tell us what it tells all countries in this situation: recovery will fail unless we break the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform. And if we are to prevent a true depression, we’re running out of time.
About the author: A professor at MIT’s Sloan School of Management, he was the chief economist at the International Monetary Fund during 2007 and 2008. He blogs about the financial crisis at baselinescenario.com, along with James Kwak, who also contributed to this essay.
(2) “Welcome to America, the World’s Scariest Emerging Market“, Desmond Lachman, op-ed in the Washington Post, 29 March 2009 — Excerpt:
About the author: Desmond Lachman, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, was previously chief emerging market strategist at Salomon Smith Barney and deputy director of the International Monetary Fund’s Policy and Review Department.
Back in the spring of 1998, when Boris Yeltsin was still at Russia’s helm, I led a group of global investors to Moscow to find out firsthand where the Russian economy was headed. My long career with the International Monetary Fund and on Wall Street had taken me to “emerging markets” throughout Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America, and I thought I’d seen it all. Yet I still recall the shock I felt at a meeting in Russia’s dingy Ministry of Finance, where I finally realized how a handful of young oligarchs were bringing Russia’s economy to ruin in the pursuit of their own selfish interests, despite the supposed brilliance of Anatoly Chubais, Russia’s economic czar at the time.
At the time, I could not imagine that anything remotely similar could happen in the United States. Indeed, I shared the American conceit that most emerging-market nations had poorly developed institutions and would do well to emulate Washington and Wall Street. These days, though, I’m hardly so confident. Many economists and analysts are worrying that the United States might go the way of Japan, which suffered a “lost decade” after its own real estate market fell apart in the early 1990s. But I’m more concerned that the United States is coming to resemble Argentina, Russia and other so-called emerging markets, both in what led us to the crisis, and in how we’re trying to fix it.
Over the past year, I’ve been getting Russia flashbacks as I witness the AIG debacle as well as the collapse of Bear Sterns and a host of other financial institutions. Much like the oligarchs did in Russia, a small group of traders and executives at onetime venerable institutions have brought the U.S. and global financial systems to their knees with their reckless risk-taking — with other people’s money — for their personal gain.
The parallels between U.S. policymaking and what we see in emerging markets are clearest in how we’ve mishandled the banking crisis. We delude ourselves that our banks face liquidity problems, rather than deeper solvency problems, and we try to fix it all on the cheap just like any run-of-the-mill emerging market economy would try to do. And after years of lecturing Asian and Latin American leaders about the importance of consistency and transparency in sorting out financial crises, we fail on both counts: In March 2008, one investment bank, Bear Stearns, is bailed out because it is thought to be too interconnected with the rest of the banking system to fail. However, six months later, another investment bank, Lehman Brothers — for all intents and purposes indistinguishable from Bear Stearns in its financial market inter-connectedness — is allowed to fail, with catastrophic effects on global financial markets.
In visits to Asian capitals during the region’s financial crisis in the late 1990s, I often heard Asian reformers such as Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew or Japan’s Eisuke Sakakibara complain about how the incestuous relationship between governments and large Asian corporate conglomerates stymied real economic change. How fortunate, I thought then, that the United States was not similarly plagued by crony capitalism! However, watching Goldman Sachs’s seeming lock on high-level U.S. Treasury jobs as well as the way that Republicans and Democrats alike tiptoed around reforming Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae — among the largest campaign contributors to Congress — made me wonder if the differences between the United States and the Asian economies were only a matter of degree.
On Wall Street there is an old joke that the longest river in the emerging-market economies is “de Nile.” Yet how often do U.S. leaders respond to growing signs of economic dysfunctionality by spouting nationalistic rhetoric that echoes the speeches of Latin American demagogues like Peru’s Alan Garcia in the 1980s and Argentina’s Carlos Menem in the 1990s? (Even Garcia, currently in his second go-around as Peru’s president, seems to have grown up somewhat.) But instead of facing our problems we extol the resilience of the U.S. economy, praise the most productive workers in the world, and go on and on about America’s inherent ability to extricate itself from any crisis. And we ignore our proclivity as a nation to spend, year in year out, more than we produce, to put off dealing with long-term problems, and to engage in grandiose long-term programs that as a nation we can ill afford.
A singular characteristic of an emerging market heading for deep trouble is a seemingly suicidal tendency to become overly indebted to foreign creditors. That tendency underlay the spectacular collapse of the Thai, Indonesian and Korean currencies in 1997. It also led Russia to default on its debt in 1998 and plunged Argentina into its economic depression in 2001. Yet we too seem to have little difficulty becoming increasingly indebted to the tune of a few hundred billion dollars a year. To make matters worse, we do so to countries like China, Russia and an assortment of Middle Eastern oil producers — none of which is particularly well disposed to us.
Like Argentina in its worst moments, we never seem to question whether it is reasonable to expect foreigners to keep financing our extravagance, and we forget the bad things that happen to the Argentinas or Hungarys of the world when foreigners stop financing their excesses. So instead of laying out a realistic plan for increasing our national savings, we choose not to face up to the Social Security and Medicare crises that lie ahead, embarking instead on massive spending programs that — whatever their long-run merits might be — we simply cannot afford.
After experiencing a few emerging-market crises, I get the sense of watching the same movie over and over. All too often, a tragic part of that movie is the failure of the countries’ policymakers to hear the loud cries of canaries in the coal mine. Before running up further outsized budget deficits, should we not heed the markets that now see a 10 percent probability that the U.S. government will default on its sovereign debt in the next five years? And should we not be paying close attention to the Chinese central bank governor’s musings that he does not feel comfortable with the $1 trillion of U.S. government debt that the Chinese central bank already owns, let alone adding to those holdings?
In the twilight of my career, when I am hopefully wiser than before, I have come to regret how the IMF and the U.S. Treasury all too often lectured leaders in emerging markets on how to “get their house in order” — without the slightest thought that the United States might fare no better when facing a major economic crisis. Now, I fear time is running out for our own policymakers to mend their ways and offer real leadership to extricate the United States from its worst economic calamity since the 1930s. If we insist on improvising and not facing our real problems, we might soon lose our status as a country to be emulated and join the ranks of those nations we have patronized for so long.

Norwood, Colorado, July 1, 2022
Name: Horsefly Fire
Location: Seven miles north of Norwood, CO off Highway 90, on the south side of Patterson Mountain.
Size: Approximately 2 acres. Cause: Lightning Jurisdiction: USFS Containment: 0% Threatened Structures: 0
As of 7:30 a.m. Friday, July 1, the Horsefly Park fire is being held at approximately two acres. The fire is located seven miles north of Norwood, CO on the south side of Patterson Mountain in the Horsefly drainage on the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison (GMUG) National Forests, Montrose County.
The Craig Hotshots arrived yesterday and made good progress getting a saw-line established around the fire. Today’s objectives are continuing to work on a containment line and firefighter safety. Access is difficult with a mile hike into the fire. The fire has a moderate spread potential, smoldering and creeping in Pinyon Juniper and heavy dead and down material. Over 30 Forest Service and BLM firefighters are working to suppress the fire. It is zero percent contained, and currently, there are no structures threatened. There are no road or trail closures. Fire managers remind visitors and users of the GMUG to continue to be attentive of their actions and surroundings, especially in areas with dry vegetation or dead/down trees. Practice smart wildfire prevention behavior including never leaving a campfire unattended, using established campfire rings, picking safe and proper campfire sites, and ensuring that their fires are completely out and cool to the touch by using the drown, stir, and feel methods. Visitors are asked to be aware of fire traffic and avoid the area. Firefighter and public safety are the priorities on this incident.

‘Eenah transaction means to sell something for a price to be paid at a later date, then to buy it back for a lower price to be paid immediately.
What this ultimately means is that the buyer acquires cash and will pay back a higher amount after a while, so it is as if it is a loan in the form of a sale.
It says in al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (9/96):
There are several definitions of the ‘eenah that is forbidden, the most well known of which is the sale of an item for a certain price to be paid at a later date, then the same item is bought back for cash for a lower price; at the end of the specified period the buyer pays the first price. The difference between the two prices is riba for the first seller and the whole transaction boils down to lending ten and getting back fifteen, so the sale is a means to engage in riba. End quote.
Because of the prevalence of riba tricks in this kind of transaction, the majority of scholars among the earlier and later generations were of the view that this is haraam and they did not allow it. Muhammad ibn Hasan al-Shaybaani said concerning one of the forms of ‘eenah – as it says in Fath al-Qadeer (7/213): I feel very distressed about this type of transaction; this transaction was invented by consumers of riba.
The prohibition on ‘eenah transactions is indicated by the report narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “When you enter into ‘eenah transactions [Eenah transaction means to sell something for a price to be paid at a later date, then to buy it back for a lower price (to be paid immediately); this is a trick used to circumvent the prohibition on lending with interest], take hold of the tails of cattle and are content with farming, and you forsake jihad, Allaah will cause humiliation to prevail over you and will not withdraw it until you return to your religion.”
Narrated by Abu Dawood (3462) and classed as saheeh by al-Tabari in Musnad Ibn ‘Umar (1/108); Ibn Taymiyah in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (29/30) and al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (no. 11).
Imam ‘Abd al-Razzaaq al-San’aani included a chapter in his al-Musannaf (8/184) entitled:
Chapter on a man who sells a product then wants to buy it back for cash:
Ma’mar and al-Thawri told us, from Abu Ishaaq, from his wife, that she entered upon ‘Aa’ishah among some other women and a woman asked her: O Mother of the Believers, I had a slave girl. I sold her to Zayd ibn Arqam for eight hundred to be paid at a later date, then I bought her from him for six hundred, and I gave him six hundred in cash, but it was recorded as eight hundred. ‘Aa’ishah said: What a bad transaction you have done, by Allaah! What a bad transaction he has made, by Allaah! Tell Zayd ibn Arqam that he has cancelled out his jihad with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) unless he repents. The woman said to ‘Aa’ishah: Do you mean that I should take my capital and return the extra amount to him? She said: “So whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Ribaa, shall not be punished for the past; his case is for Allaah (to judge); but whoever returns (to Ribaa), such are the dwellers of the Fire — they will abide therein” [al-Baqarah 2:275]. Or she said: “but if you repent, you shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly (by asking more than your capital sums), and you shall not be dealt with unjustly (by receiving less than your capital sums)” [al-Baqarah 2:279]. End quote.
Ibn ‘Abd al-Haadi said in Tanqeeh al-Ta’leeq (2/558): its isnaad is jayyid. It was classed as saheeh by al-Zayla’i in Nasb al-Raayah (4/16).
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Sharh al-Mumti’ (8/223):
An example of an ‘eenah transaction is if I sell Zayd a car for twenty thousand to be paid in a year’s time, then I buy it back from this man for eighteen thousand; this is haraam and is not permissible, because it is using a trick to sell the car in an illusionary transaction for twenty thousand, then I go back and buy it for eighteen thousand in cash, so he will have taken it from me for eighteen thousand but he will pay me for twenty thousand and this is riba, so it is not permissible, because it is an obvious trick. Hence Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “Dirhams for dirhams with a sweet dish in between.” This is called the issue of ‘eenah because the man gives cash for cash; al-‘een means cash, gold or silver.
It should be noted that every time a person uses trickery to do haraam things, it only leads to bad consequences, because what is haraam is evil, and if a trick is used it is more evil, because you have combined the haraam action with an attempt to deceive the Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, but nothing is hidden from Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, and actions are but by intentions. End quote.
In the books of the fuqaha’ there are detailed discussions of various forms of ‘eenah, and the guidelines on the prohibition of this transaction may be found in the following sources: Badaa’i’ al-Sanaa’i’ (5/198), Mawaahib al-Jaleel (4/391), al-Umm (3/78) and I’laam al-Muwaqqi’een (3/166).
For more information see the answer to question no. 98124.
And Allaah knows best.

In most western sacred spaces such as churches visitors and members are required to show their reverence by remaining silent. However, in Indian Temples one will see everyone from the smallest babies being held by their families to frail elders and of course the healthy and robust visitor, Ringing the Temple bells loudly, maybe even several times….so imagine during a procession of a family of large or small numbers to pilgrimages with hundreds the constant bell ringing. Why is this done? Well, some say it sends a message stating that “I am here and ready to receive the benefits.” My Facebook friend Narasimha Swamy shared the science behind the ringing of temple bells………….
“Most of the old temples have large bells at the entrance of the temple and you need to ring them before you enter the temple. Temple bells have a scientific phenomena; it is not just your ordinary metal. It is made of various metals including: cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, nickel, chromium, and manganese. The proportion at which each one of them are mixed is a real science behind the bell. Each of these bells is made to produce such a distinct sound that it can create unity for your left and right brain. The moment the bell is sounded, it produces a sharp but lasting sound which lasts for a minimum of seven seconds in an echo mode good enough to touch your seven healing centers or chakras in your body. Also while ringing the bell the sound helps your brain to empty all thoughts. Invariably you will enter the state where you are very receptive. This state allows you to be ONE with Awareness. Your mind is often so pre-occupied that the only way to awaken it is with a shock of some sort. The Bell ringing works as an anti-dote for the brain/mind. Before one enters the temple do ring the Bell to awaken and prepare for a taste of Divine Awareness, this is the scientific reasoning behind the ancient tradition of Ringing Temple Bells….next time don’t miss your chance to wake up and be Blessed! Thanks again to Narasimha Swamy for sharing this valuable explanation. Namaskaram OM

Imagine if every ski trail at Vail was a black diamond advanced run. Gone would be the easy runs marked with green circles and the intermediate blue square runs.
Expert skiers would rejoice. Every trip down the mountain would be an adrenaline-charged workout — unfettered by kids, beginners or out-of-shape vacationers from the flatlands.
The only problem is that Vail Resorts would probably go out of business, because only about 20% of skiers are skilled enough to navigate advanced runs. Instead of hosting more than 1.6 million visitors a year, they’d attract one skier in five. It would be a terrible business decision and the smart people at Vail Resorts would never consider it.
In most U.S. cities, riding a bicycle is a black diamond adventure. A combination of skill, daring and training is necessary to feel comfortable riding in traffic on big busy streets.
Of course, not all city riding is challenging. There are a lot of greens and blues in the system, including quiet neighborhood streets, greenway paths and rail-trails. But they often don’t connect, and that’s a problem.
Let’s go back to the top of a ski hill for a moment. Imagine you could start out on your choice of easy greens and intermediate blues — but then halfway down the mountain, every run dumped you into a section of steep and bumpy expert terrain. Once you reached the bottom, you’d likely opt for hot chocolate at the lodge and look for a different vacation spot.
The same holds with biking. A potential journey is judged by the most challenging section of the route. Riding a bike down a quiet neighborhood street is easy and fun, but if you have to cross a busy road without a safe intersection, or you have to ride in heavy traffic before you get to a greenway path, it’s not a green circle experience and less-confident riders are not going to do it more than once.
Most people don’t have green or blue routes from their front door to work, play, shopping or school. And even the best efforts of cities haven’t solved the problem. For years, cities have been adding conventional bike lanes on their big busy streets – it’s what the engineering manuals say to do. But for a lot of people, a single stripe of white paint and some bike symbols isn’t enough to change the street into a comfortable place. It’s still a white-knuckle ride.
Cities are realizing that making it easier to ride a bike is a smart business decision. Today’s cities are working to become more vibrant, sustainable places that attract employers, move people efficiently and serve the growing desire for bikeable and walkable places. One of their key tactics is to beef up the bike lanes on busy streets, adding physical separation between the bike lanes and moving traffic. New protected lanes (often painted green) are coaxing more people out on bikes, with numbers doubling on Dearborn Ave in Chicago and tripling on 15th Street NW in Washington, DC.
Most people won’t ever be black diamond skiers and they won’t become black diamond bikers. While technique can be honed through training and experience, nerves of steel and quick reflexes aren’t easily taught.
The expert bikers don’t necessarily welcome beginners, kids and out-of-shape visitors intruding on their terrain. Some even oppose proposals for protected bike lanes, saying “I’m a cyclist, and I don’t want these.” When cities understand that these highly skilled riders make up about 1 percent of the population, it helps them move projects forward that serve a much broader range of people.
The experts, meanwhile, can take solace that plenty of city streets will offer black diamond biking for years to come.
The Green Lane Project is a PeopleForBikes program that helps U.S. cities build better bike lanes to create low-stress streets. You can follow us on Twitter or Facebook or sign up for our weekly news digest about protected bike lanes. Story tip? Write firstname.lastname@example.org.

As oil prices continue their downward slide, most investors and firms are understandably eyeing prices, revenues, and exploration costs nervously. All that makes sense, as there is a good chance some oil firms will face liquidity crunches and restructuring over the next year. In the longer term though, there is another specter that could be equally damaging to O&G firms – a shortage of skilled labor.
During the 2008 Recession, many manufacturing firms cut way back on labor and costs everywhere they could, as demand plummeted and customers started asking for lower prices. Fast forward a few years though, and demand has returned. What has not returned are many of the skilled laborers that were instrumental to the manufacturing industry’s success. Many of the industry’s best workers moved on to other fields or retired in the intervening years since the Recession. As a result, manufactures complain frequently about a lack of available skilled labor. The same thing could happen in the O&G industry. Related: UK Determined To Realize Its Fracking Dreams
Oil and gas executives already lament the lack of proper training being done by colleges and universities for entry level employees. The exodus from the industry is only going to exacerbate that problem. Every field in the O&G space from geologists on down, is seeing layoffs and cut-backs. In the short term, these actions might be unavoidable. But if the downturn continues for more than a year or so, many of these workers may move on to new fields. If that happens, the industry could find that those workers are lost for good.
Industry experts are already forecasting that even with the decline in oil prices, 12,000 new O&G workers will be needed in the UK over the next five years. Further, it appears that as the decline intensifies, the structure of the industry may change. Outsourced workers employed by contractors, but working for E&P firms could find themselves without a job as firms look to cut costs by bringing functions in-house. This type of upheaval is going to create a lot of movement in the industry and many workers may exit and look for more stable occupations in the future. Related: Oil Price Collapse Triggers Currency Crisis In Emerging Markets
Over the next 10 years, the UK may need as many as 125,000 new employees. It’s not clear where these employees will come from though, as any university student looking at the news around the world right now will be considerably less likely to focus on petroleum engineering as a career path. There is clearly a real problem here for firms in the long-term and no easy solutions.
With that said, there are a few things firms can focus on doing to maintain their talent pool. First, firms should be looking beyond the current crisis and continuing to engage with universities, colleges, and training programs. Most firms may not need many employees this year or even next year, but maintaining relationships is still critical. Related: OPEC’s $900 Billion Mistake
Second, firms should look for ways to keep their best and brightest talent. Even if a particular job function is being cut severely, perhaps some of those employees can be used in other functions around the firm. Most employees looking at being downsized would prefer to take a lateral move within the same firm even if that move comes with a bit of a pay cut and the need to learn new skills.
Third, where possible firms should bite the bullet and ask employees to take a pay cut or benefits cut across the board in lieu of layoffs. Everyone paying attention to the industry knows that salaries got pretty out of line with reality in recent years, and this is a good opportunity to rein in those salaries to more reasonable levels while still keeping employees on the payroll. These steps can help ensure a company manages the downturn and is prepared to take advantage of the upturn whenever it arrives.

Best Time To Go To Nashville
Nashville is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Tennessee. The city is the county seat of Davidson County and is located on the Cumberland River in the north-central part of the state. Nashville is a major center for the music, healthcare, publishing, banking and transportation industries, and it is home to numerous colleges and universities. Nashville is also a major tourist destination, attracting over 16 million visitors each year. The city is home to many historical landmarks, including the Parthenon and Ryman Auditorium, as well as a variety of museums, art galleries and green spaces. With its rich history and vibrant culture, Nashville is a truly unique American city.
Nashville is a great place to visit year-round, but there are certain times of year that are better than others. Here are some things to consider when planning your trip to Nashville:
Nashville has mild weather for most of the year, but it can get hot in the summer and cold in the winter. If you’re not a fan of extreme temperatures, the best time to visit Nashville is during the spring or fall.
Nashville is also home to some of the most beautiful murals in the country. You can find them on buildings, in parks, and even on the sides of highways. While murals can be found throughout the year, the best time to see them is during the summer months. This is when most of the murals are completed and when the weather is ideal for walking or biking around to see them. However, if you’re only in town for a short period of time, any time of year is a great time to explore Nashville’s murals.
The warmer weather means that more people are out and about, which provides a perfect opportunity to explore all the murals that Nashville has to offer. In addition, during the summer months, many of Nashville’s murals are part of larger art festivals. These festivals provide a great opportunity to see a wide variety of murals in one place. So if you’re looking to experience all that Nashville has to offer, plan your trip for the summer months.
The City of Nashville is no stranger to large crowds. As the capital of Tennessee, Nashville is a popular destination for tourists and business travelers alike. In recent years, however, the city has seen a significant increase in its population, due in part to an influx of new residents. Nashville can be pretty crowded, especially during peak tourist season (May-September). If you want to avoid the crowds, visit during the off-season (October-April).
Events and Festivals
Nashville is home to a lot of great events and festivals, so if there’s something in particular you’re interested in, make sure to check the schedule before you visit. Some of the most popular events include the CMA Music Festival (June), Bonnaroo (June), and the Tennessee State Fair (September).
If you’re looking for a great time in Nashville, make sure to go during one of the city’s many music festivals. There’s something for everyone at these events, and you’ll be able to enjoy some of the best music that Nashville has to offer. Hopefully this information helps you plan the perfect trip to Nashville!

Three words, in any order, and to any degree, might be used to describe our new leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: naive, irresponsible and reckless — but with a sunny disposition.
It’s clear to anyone paying attention that the world was near financial collapse seven or eight years ago. Canada fared better than most countries during this great recession but being last to drown in a sinking ship isn’t much solace. In 2013, Canada government debt topped $1.2 trillion, based on a Financial Post Article dated May 16, 2013.
The Fraser Institute wrote in an article dated April 27, 2012: “you must have a complete understanding of all the taxes you pay.”
They go on to say, “summed up, the average Canadian family faced a tax bill of $30,792 in 2011 against income of $74,233. That means 41.5 percent of the family’s budget went to paying for government.
For perspective, 33.6 percent of the budget went to paying for food, clothing, and shelter combined. Indeed, families now pay more in taxes than they do for basic necessities.”
Further they say: “it doesn’t end there. Most federal and provincial governments are running budget deficits, meaning that current taxes do not cover current government spending.
Canadian governments of today are putting off tax bills that will inevitably come due. Including deferred taxation (deficits) in the total tax bill raises it an additional $2,663 to $33,455.”
It was clear to our current government well before they were elected that economies everywhere in the world are struggling. Having been in my own business for many decades, I learned that you have little control over revenue, the only things you control are expenses.
All political promises come with a real cost. How does a government make promises that clearly can’t be paid for from current or projected revenues and suggest that borrowing the money is the answer when many of us are currently paying upwards of 45 per cent of our gross income for the current services we can’t afford now?
For those who aren’t into numbers, here’s all you need to ask: how do decreasing revenues support increasing expenses? In the real world, they don’t. Look at the current value of the Canadian dollar, or lack thereof, as evidence.

How do you get Wi-Fi to students when they aren’t in a school building? How much does it cost? How long does it take to set up? We asked all those questions and more to Angie Henry, Chief Operating Officer, and Candace Salmon-Hosey, executive director of technology services at Guilford County Schools (GCS). On May 19, they deployed 10 school buses equipped with Kajeet SmartBus solutions bringing internet to students, and soon they will send out 34 more.
GCS has more than 70,000 students spread across a 650 square mile county. Around 65% of those students are considered economically disadvantaged according to the district. Internet access and devices are not available to all, so when school buildings closed on March 16, GCS began tackling the connectivity gap.
GCS is not a one-to-one school district, meaning they do not supply each student with a device to receive online instruction. So the first hurdle to clear was getting devices in the hands of students. With the assistance of the Guilford Education Alliance, they have been able to distribute approximately 16,714 devices since March.
In choosing which Wi-Fi company to employ, time and accessibility were key. They decided on Kajeet because it works with around nine different carriers, and signal strength can vary in the large county. Another major factor was wait time; Kajeet devices could get to the school quicker than other companies they were looking into. Installation was easy, and the staff was able to troubleshoot from there.
In total, the school purchased 40 Kajeet SmartBus solutions and received four additional AT&T Wi-Fi Rangers, which were supplied by the Department of Public Instruction. The district also increased its number of external hot spots planted at schools to 19. To find internet access in the county, check out this map.
Initially, 10 buses were running a route to eight different locations and staying for three hour sessions before moving to another area. GCS worked with the housing authority of both Greensboro and High Point to identify which complexes had the most students with known broadband access issues. When troubleshooting, GCS found one bus was not covering enough ground, so they adjusted and deployed two buses to some areas.
Each Wi-Fi device can hold approximately 65 simultaneous connections within approximately a 300-foot radius. GCS predicts it costs about $1,000 per bus per year to maintain connection. This amount doesn’t include the salary of the bus driver or gas.
School officially ended June 5, however the SmartBus route schedule remained the same, as some seniors were still using the Wi-Fi for credit recovery. The schedule may adjust for summer learning.
One silver lining of COVID-19 is the idea of keeping Wi-Fi on the buses, Henry said. “When we get back to whatever normal school looks like, we have students who are on buses for an extended period of time getting from one side of the county to the other to get to a magnet program or some other specialized program.” Henry is excited about the idea of affording access to students while they’re in transit to do homework and finish projects.
“I’m excited that this will provide additional opportunities for students to be connected in times where they normally aren’t.”
However, both Henry and Salmon-Hosey agree that this is an intervention, not a solution. The solution, they say, is universal access to broadband.

So you have decided to have a turtle or bunch of turtles around for a hobby. If so then you already know that you require an aquarium to provide them with a sustainable ecosystem and environment these can stay inside and get kicking on life.
Turtles are amphibians and like many others, these stay a part of their life in the sea/water and another half on earth. It means that their excrete will also be discarded into the very water of the aquarium thus there is a need to have some able system or filter at hand that can clean the water on a regular basis and keeps the water fresh for the little turtles to breathe in some fresh dissolved oxygen.
If you are all done with choosing an aquarium and other aesthetical aspects and are only entrenched about the type of filter that you should buy then you have come to the right place. Following is a list of some of the filters that might be worth your attention, so go ahead and take a deep dive;
1. Penn Plax Cascade 1500 Canister Turtle Filter
If you are someone who can’t put aside a large chunk of their budget for a filter and have spent almost all of it on other accessories then this is the right filter for you. For the price range, you will get it for it is not at all bad, it does its work and pretty efficiently too. It can provide you with some serious filtration for your dedicated turtle tank. What makes this filter an optimum choice for most of the aquarium owners out there is the flow of about 350 gallons per hour for a 200-gallon aquarium which is perfect for allowing the little turtles to breathe and dwell in a fresh and earthly oceanic habitat.
2. Eheim Pro 4+ 600 Filter
This is a type of canister filter which means that it has got a much larger container and makes it easier to flush away all the poisonous and non-essential elements out from the water. It is practically a good choice if you have a large enough aquarium for your turtle and especially if you are not that great with changing the water for the tank on a regular basis. This is the type of filter that is known essentially for its durability and withstanding the stressed environments, a perfect choice if you don’t want your own filter breaking down at you for no apparent reason from time to time. This filter is rated excellent to be used with 160-gallon capacity aquariums and has a throughput of about 330 gallons per hour.
This is among the quietest filter solutions that you can find on the market and is sturdy, well-built, and uniform in all aspects of its architecture and mechanism of work.
3. Penn Plax Cascade 300 Hang-on
Given their constant breaking and below-average performance these types of filters are not the most apparent and craziest choice of many people out there. But this hang on model is something else, despite the fact that it hands with the walls of the aquarium and provides its services from there it has got some serious room for the filtering of all the unwanted particles and materials, to begin with.
The filter medium itself has an average flow of 300 gallons per hour which is pretty impressive given its hang from the wall nature. If you want more impressive and efficient results then it is recommended that you sue the hang-on filter with a canister one for the sake of evening out their impact on each other and the quality of the water to make the habitat more friendly and welcoming to your turtles.
4. Pond Boss FM002P Filter Kit
As explained earlier that turtles are amphibians which means that once during a year they are going to have to enjoy the sun and earth but due to the climate changes and various other reasons these little shelled beauties can’t be let out on the soil but nothing should stop them from basking in the summer sun. Many turtle keepers like to place their turtles in the outside environment in the summer for a few days or rotation and thus the idea of moving the whole aquarium assembly to the outside might not be a feasible choice that is why building your own pond for your turtle is the only thing that you can practice.
Thus the need for this very filter arises as it is a piece by piece manifestation that needs to be connected before it can serve its purpose and it is great to have it around especially if you are making seasonal ponds for your turtle or trying to move the location of the pond here and there.
5. Fluval Canister Filter
Now, this is the type of filter that you should actually be getting if you can support the price range, this right here is a big gun as it can support up to almost 560 gallons of water. It is considered to be one of the most incredible options that are available on the market right now. The filter itself has about 1.5 gallons of room for the filter media, it also means that you can probably fit a lot of filter media down there which then can be used for further use when intended.
One of the two most insane characteristics about this filter here is that it is extremely silent and very easy to set up, to begin with. If you can really afford it or your budget allows for it then this is the type of filter that you should go after, to begin with. Not only it will prove more efficient and money-saving in the long run but would also not crack or break on you when you need it the most. The operability remains the same even under immense load, no wonder it is the Best Turtle Tank Filter out there that money can buy. For more information click here.

Determine two lines that are based on a point P outside a line r, an angle formed between "alpha" and cut given to the line as a segment of length "L".
The starting geometry proposed for the problem we see in the following image.
The point "P" is external to the line "r". The solution should be allowed to find two points, And the B, on the line "r" so to determine a segment with the length "L" and in turn asked each other the angle form given in the statement.
In any pair of points (A1-B1) located on the line r and separated a distance L, can determining an arc capable of alpha degrees (given). Any point Pn observe that arc segment A1–B1 where the angle alpha. We can determine one (P1) that is at the same distance from r to point P, (to thereby determine a line parallel ar passing through P and intersects the circumference of the arc capable), The lines will be parallel to sought to determine the point P1 and points A1 and B1.
We can therefore from any pair of points on r that are separated a distance L to determine the center O of the arc able, which should be in the perpendicular A1-B1 and perpendicular to a straight line passing through one point (eg B1) forms with r the angle alpha. (see arch construction capable)
Thus the problem is reduced to obtain a generic solution that will move to the position requested.

When pairing proper clothing with a bike fitted with mudguards or fenders, there are few weather conditions that can make a ride unpleasant. Their protection keeps water from soaking the chamois, and they prevent road grit from turning Lycra into sandpaper. Gone is the spray off of the front wheel that drenches feet along the freezing plume of water off of the back wheel. And on a club ride, everybody is more comfortable without a constant wheel-spray showering their face.
While riding in the rain, the majority of the water comes off of the wheels. And once that spray is eliminated, a cyclist with a good rain jacket can stay quite dry for the duration of any ride. My father, Mike Barry, carries a proper cape on his small rear carrier for commuting, when rain is in the forecast. Rain jackets are more aerodynamic, but unlike a rain jacket, a properly fitting cape will keep your entire body dry warm, which on longer randonneur/touring rides or commuting is essential. On those long rides he also carries spats, waterproof shoe covers that go up to your knees eliminating soggy socks, grit in your shoes, and cold ankles.
There are few, if any, reasons to train without mudguards in inclement weather. Fausto Coppi rode with them. Phil Anderson used them, and many current pros fit them during the off-season. If I were to have one bike, it would be a bike with mudguards. Keeping you dryer and warmer, they allow you to ride comfortably for hours. After all, riding with a wet chamois and cold feet doesn’t toughen up a rider; it simply makes him or her miserable. By contrast, being able to ride for hours regardless of the weather, makes any cyclist stronger.
In Toronto, where there is inclement weather much of the year, I’m surprised at how few cyclists use them. Commuters buzz around town on their fixies, hybrids, and ‘cross bikes with streaks of dirty mud up their backsides. With mudguards, they could show up at work fairly dry and clean. It is puzzling that so many cyclists are resistant to mounting them on a bike that they’ll ride through the winter. Too often, fashion and style dictate how most want to look while out on the road, not comfort and function. Or, perhaps, it is simply because they don’t realize just how much protection mudguards can give from the wet.
In the workshop, we have recently built a gravel road bike with two interchangeable forks: one carbon and one steel with mudguards eyelets. The carbon fork will be used in the summer months while the steel fork is fitted with painted Honjo mudguards and small Mariposa rear carrier for the wet and cold northern winter. The bike, which has 700c x 32 mm gravel tires, and is made with a mixture of Columbus tubing handles like a race bike but can be ridden on the roughest terrain.
Unfortunately, the majority of carbon race bikes don’t easily accommodate mudguards. Their frames are oddly shaped, and they lack eyelets and sufficient clearance. But, with some cutting, fiddling, and a few small clamps, it can often be done.
Thirty years ago, almost all steel frames came with eyelets and had the clearance around the brakes, forks, and bottom bracket to mount fenders. With the current trend back towards frames with clearance for larger 28 mm tires, there is no reason for the manufactures not to add a couple of eyelets so that mudguards can easily be mounted and removed. Team Sky gives the riders who live in northern cold climates cyclocross bikes that are put together with road equipment. The frames are drilled and tapped by the mechanics so that the mudguards could be cleanly mounted. Edvald Boasson Hagen rode his on days where the deep Norwegian snow, or ice cold rain, would otherwise keep him indoors.
A few companies make decent clip-on mudguards. Although they won’t do as good a job as a full set, they are better than nothing, and they’ll make any ride in the wet more pleasant.
With a good mud flap at the bottom of the front mudguard the rider’s feet are kept much drier. One at the bottom of the rear mudguard makes riding in a group in the wet more pleasant, as nobody will be sprayed in the face with foul road water. While training on the west coast of Canada, where the roads rarely seem to fully dry out in the winter months, the groups I rode with insisted that every rider not only have mudguards, but also mudflaps. This keeps the last inches of uncovered wheel from spraying in the other riders’ faces. A rider without a flap was sent to the back for the duration of the ride, unable to ride at the front or socialize. Most riders made their own mudflaps with a water bottle cut in half or a piece of plastic cut from detergent jug. Some were neatly cut out and zip-tied on, while others were ragged and stuck on with duct-tape. But they all did the trick.
As the cool rain changes to snow and sleet, it will soon be time to install winter tires. The performance and efficiency of Continental Top Contact Winter tires is tough to beat, but in extreme ice conditions, added protection which one can get by equipping the bike with studded tires.

The replacement of traditional CdS with zinc magnesium oxide (ZMO) has been demonstrated as being helpful to boost power conversion efficiency of cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells to over 18%, due to the reduced interface recombination and parasitic light absorption by the buffer layer. However, due to the atmosphere sensitivity of ZMO film, the post treatments of ZMO/CdTe stacks, including CdCl2 treatment, back contact deposition, etc., which are critical for high-performance CdTe solar cells became crucial challenges. To realize the full potential of the ZMO buffer layer, plenty of investigations need to be accomplished. Here, copper thiocyanate (CuSCN) is demonstrated to be a suitable back-contact material with multi-advantages for ZMO/CdTe solar cells. Particularly, ammonium hydroxide as the solvent for CuSCN deposition shows no detrimental impact on the ZMO layer during the post heat treatment. The post annealing temperature as well as the thickness of CuSCN films are investigated. Finally, a champion power conversion efficiency of 16.7% is achieved with an open-circuit voltage of 0.857 V, a short-circuit current density of 26.2 mA/cm2, and a fill factor of 74.0%.
Keywords: CdTe; CuSCN; copper thiocyanate; zinc magnesium oxide.

While I am still wrestling with my own personal beliefs on the issue of marriage, I deeply appreciate the contributions gays and lesbians make to our city every single day and I remain committed to Atlanta’s vibrant and diverse LGBT community.
Gay Atlanta teacher Charlie Stadtlander started the Facebook group that now has more than 2,100 members.
“We all know that the Mayor’s heart is in the right place, yet as with President Obama, he simply needs to feel that the time is right to make his position known. Your support of this effort tells the Mayor that once he stands up for marriage equality, our community will be behind him 100%!,” said Stadtlander in a posting for the Facebook group that is named “Mayor Reed, It’s Time to ‘Evolve’ on Marriage Equality.'”
Added Nico Stoerner of Atlanta on the Facebook page, “Come on Mayor Reed. It has long since been agreed upon that this is the right thing to do. Follow in the footsteps of Barack Obama, our POTUS and help make history for Human Rights! It is as similar to Civil Rights as it is possible to be!”
Reese McCranie, the openly gay spokesperson for Mayor Reed, issued a statement as a private citizen about Obama’s support of gay marriage. McCranie was also recently elected to be a Georgia Delegate to the Democratic National Convention.
“President Obama’s support of marriage equality is nothing short of historic and it represents a watershed moment for the LGBT community,” McCranie said.
“As a gay man with a loving partner, I hope to one day marry the man I love and be viewed as an equal citizen under the eyes of the law. I am proud of our President and all that he has done for gay rights and furthering equality. Now more than ever, we must re-double our efforts to ensure he wins a second term,” he added.
Reed has also continued to stress he has worked against LGBT discrimination — when he served in the Georgia General Assembly for 11 years and worked on such issues as a hate crimes bill and against the state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. In 2004, Georgia voters overwhelmingly approved the constitutional amendment defining marriage as only between a man and a woman.

CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW: THE FAILURE GENE THAT’S BAKED INTO THE DNA OF EVERY GROUP AND HOW TO ESCAPE IT
In Chapter One we were introduced to the three naturally occurring styles in any team setting. We met Andy, Brad and Riya. A Visionary, Operator and Processor each overflowing with good intentions but who in equal measure, display characteristics which are causing their team interactions to stall or worse, reach gridlock.
We had an introduction to the main characteristics exhibited by each of these styles and learned that each of us have a natural proclivity toward a single style, that the three styles left to their own creates an unstable triangle and that to bring balance to this triangle we need to incorporate a fourth style; The Synergist.
We have a great selection of resources to kick off our tour through The Synergist and further draw out some of the key learning points from Chapter One.
Chapter 1 Resources
WORKSHEET: INITIAL THOUGHTS
Before you get started on Chapter One there is a short worksheet to record your initial thoughts on what you hope to get out of reading The Synergist.

Audio: Interview with Blog Talk Radio
Wayne Hurlbert, of Blog Talk Radio, interviews Les on The Synergist. In it Les addresses the challenging queston of why so many teams and groups fail to perform and describes how to move your team beyond the gridlock of inaction toward team success.
He offers the advice that every team needs one critical player, in the form of The Synergist, who can take the bold dreamers (Visionaries), the pragmatic realists (Operators), and systems designers (Processors) and combine them into a successful team.
Les points out that the role of The Synergist is one that anyone can learn, and he shares the techniques for developing the necessary skills.
This is a great introduction for anyone beginning with the Synergist.

book: Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
Enough acres of print have been devoted to this admittedly brilliant biography that I’ll refrain from adding my own (unnecessary) review.
I’ll just say this: I’m glad I wrote ‘The Synergist’ before ‘Steve Jobs’ was published, otherwise I’m pretty sure I’d have been accused of basing the entire methodology on this book.
Isaacson’s biography is certainly worth reading entirely on its own merits, but what’s truly intriguing is that it reads essentially as an annotated case study for ‘The Synergist’.
It’s all there: the extreme Visionary, the strong V-O relationships, the V-P battle(s) and finally, magnificently, warts and all, the painful personal transition Jobs makes from (flawed) Visionary to (flawed) Synergist.
The book is superb, and it is the perfect complimentary text to ‘The Synergist’.

Hello everyone! I am starting my New Year’s Resolution to begin each month with some ideas and freebies for you. Life gets so busy and hectic that it is difficult to stay on top of things. Many of these ideas I have blogged about before, but now they are in one handy spot.
Many of my students continue to struggle with writing a detailed sentence. I like to give them extra practice by writing a super sentence. Writing super sentences help my EL students write a detailed sentence with guided help. We first brainstorm ideas and then I model several times. Then the students use their creativity to write their own super sentence. Click on the picture of the super sentence for your FREE copy. I have included a colored and a black & white version for you.
My students start the day with my spiral review morning work. It gives me time to take attendance, lunch count, and collect their homework. Here are a few sample pages so you can try them out in your classroom. Click here for your FREE sample pages.

Honouring our Elders, our Ancestors
Our owner, Joe was raised by his grandparents on the shores of the Great Slave Lake in Deninu Kue and in Yellowknife and by his aunt and uncle in the Deh Cho.
Joe is a descendent of the true Yellowknife’s Dene peoples and as an Indigenous tour company owner, Joe takes great pride in sharing our Indigenous culture with you in a manner that honours and respects our Ancestors and culture.
However, not just anyone can do cultural tours. Unfortunately there are those out there that will do “culture tours” only to make money, to exploit our customs and traditions for commercial purposes.
For us here at North Star, we have always believed our cultural tours are a representation of our customs and traditions, and thus need to be treated with highest of respect. This is the basis of approach when we do our tours and packages.
All of our guides are Indigenous and all share the same vision as Joe, to do our tours in a manner that rightfully honours and respects our heritage. We are happy to share our culture with you, we are happy to share stories about our land experiences, about our language, about our spirituality and more.
Dene Laws of Life
As a teenager and a young adult Joe was fortunate enough to call the Deh Cho home. He lived with and was taught valuable life lessons about our Dene way from his aunt and uncle Jim and Celine Antoine. Joe credits his Grandparents and his aunt and uncle for instilling strong family and Dene values in him.
These valuable lessons help guide Joe through his everyday life, and in particular is the foundation for his business’ vision and mission statement.
While on the winter trapline as a young child with his grandparents, living in a canvas tent in -40C temperatures, he was taught what it means to be Dene, to be a good person. He was told by his grandparents to…
“Respect the land”
This means to always treat the land with respect. To always say a prayer and give thanks when travel on the land, when we get food from the land, whether it be a fish in the fishnet or an animal, we say a prayer.
This also means not selling the food we get from the land for money, if someone needs food, we give it to them, we share with them, this is the Dene way. Respect the land, don’t throw garbage in the water or land, not to waste meat when we harvest it.
Respect the land, means don’t cut down a tree for 30 days use at Christmas then throw it away, the trees in our culture are the “Elders” they have been around for many years. Respect the land, it will take care of us for many years. This is the Dene way.
“Respect Each Other”
This means to help each other. Not to hurt each other, not to think, talk or do bad things to each other, not to wish harm upon another. Respect each other means to always help each other, even a small thing like saying “Hi” or smiling to someone.
Respect each other, means helping the Elders, Joe’s grandmother always told him “if you always help the Elders you will live a long happy life.” This is the Dene way.
This means to be kind to yourself, don’t drink, don’t smoke and don’t invite negativity into your life. Respect yourself means to to be kind to your mind, to your body and to your spirit.
Take good care of yourself so you are always able to help others. Laugh everyday and think positive thoughts.
Life can be tough at times, but try to accept and manage the tough times, learn from those situations and move on. Respect yourself, be positive and be thankful for everyday and for everything you have. This is the Dene way.
We are North America’s Original tour guides
When the first Europeans landed on our North American shores hundreds and hundreds years ago, we were here and we welcomed these new comers to our land. We offered to take them in, feed them and show them our hospitality. Unfortunately, we all know how things turned out, not good. Nonetheless, at the time we were welcoming to these new peoples.
This still holds true today, no matter which Indigenous community you visit, you will quickly notice we are happy to welcome you to our community. This is part of who we are as Indigenous peoples, it is in our nature to welcome strangers and make them feel at home. We are North America’s original tour guides and we look forward to having you on our tours.
100% Indigenous owned – 50,000 Years of experience
