UPDATE 1-Finnish GDP recovery stalls in second quarter
|
(Adds economist comments, forecasts)
HELSINKI, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Finland's second quarter gross domestic product shrank from the previous quarter, according to preliminary data, denting hopes of a rapid economic recovery.
The Nordic member of the euro zone is slowly picking itself up from a decade of stagnation sparked among other things by a sharp decline in Nokia's phone business, labour market rigidity and recession in neighbouring Russia.
The statistics office said quarterly output was down 0.5 percent, after rising 1.2 percent in the first quarter.
However, on an annual basis, GDP in the second quarter was up 1.6 percent. In June, it was down 0.5 percent, compared to growth of 2.8 percent in May.
"The decline was a bit surprising ... Expectations for this year's growth will come down a bit," said Heidi Schaumann, economist at Aktia Bank.
Latest forecasts by the banks and the government see the economy growing between 2 and 3 percent this year and 1.5-2.0 percent in 2018.
"We will still likely see good growth this year, but not necessarily 3 percent."
Schaumann added that upcoming wage negotiation rounds were adding some uncertainty to the growth outlook.
"The economy still needs support from the wage side. I'm worried that the demands for price hikes may be a bit too tough and that we will face a quarrelsome autumn in the labour market." (Reporting by Jussi Rosendahl; editing by Terje Solsvik and Kevin Liffey)

This article reports on 4 studies that addressed the development of the Career Counseling Self-Efficacy Scale (CCSES). The instrument evidenced moderate to high internal consistency across the studies and strong test-retest reliability over a 2-week period. Convergent validity was supported by correlations with years of career counseling experience and several scales of an emotional-social counseling self-efficacy measure. Discriminant validity was evidenced through an absence of relations between the CCSES total score and years of emotional-social counseling experience, emotional-social counseling self-efficacy, and research self-efficacy. In addition to the evidence just mentioned, construct validity was supported by increases on the CCSES after a career course and varying levels of efficacy commensurate with status in the field. The use of this instrument for training and evaluating therapists who provide career counseling is discussed.
|
The Counselor Activity Self-Efficacy Scales were developed to assess self-efficacy for performing helping skills, managing the counseling process, and handling challenging counseling situations. Factor analyses of data from 345 students in undergraduate and graduate counseling courses yielded 6 factors. Factor-derived scale scores produced adequate internal consistency and short-term test–retest reliability estimates. The scale scores were strongly related to scores on an existing measure of counseling self-efficacy, weakly related to social desirability, sensitive to change over the course of a 1-semester practicum, and able to differentiate among students with differing levels of counseling experience. The scale scores were also related to interests, occupational goals, outcome expectations, and affective experience related to the counselor role. Implications for future research and training applications are considered. Counseling psychology and related helping professions have long been engaged in efforts to understand and promote the process of counselor development (Russell, Crimmings, & Lent, 1984). One particularly promising approach has involved the extension of Bandura’s (1986, 1997) general social– cognitive theory to the study of counselor development. Research has been particularly aimed at the social– cognitive construct of self-efficacy or, more specifically, counselor self-efficacy, referring to counselors’ beliefs about their ability to perform counseling-related behaviors or to negotiate particular clinical situations (Larson & Daniels, 1998). Such beliefs may be important at two levels. First, coun

Theodor Molien
|
Theodor Georg Andreas Molien (; in Riga – 25 December 1941 in Tomsk) was a Baltic-German mathematician. He was born in Riga, Latvia, which at that time was a part of Russian Empire. Molien studied associative algebras and polynomial invariants of finite groups.
Life
Youth in Riga
Theodor Molien's father Eduard Molien was a teacher at the Riga Governorate Gymnasium. Theodor entered that gymnasium in 1872 and graduated in 1879.
Studies and work in Dorpat
In January 1880 Molien entered the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the University of Dorpat (now University of Tartu) as a student of astronomy. To support his studies his family also moved to Dorpat (now Tartu). In October 1883 the council of the university gave him the degree of a candidate of astronomy. His thesis "Bahn des Cometen 1880 III" was published in Astronomische Nachrichten No. 2510. His further work was supervised by the head of the chair of applied mathematics of the University of Dorpat Anders Lindstedt. In a report to the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the University of Dorpat Lindstedt acknowledges Molien as having unquestionably exceptional scientific talent (unzweifelhaft ungewöhnliche wissenschaftliche Begabung).
In the autumn of 1883, as part of his studies Molien was sent to Leipzig for three semesters. There he attended lectures by Felix Klein on different fields of mathematics and worked in his seminar. He also attended lectures of Carl Neumann, Eduard Study, Wilhelm Killing and Georg Scheffers. At that time Klein was dealing with deep problems of algebra and theory of functions of a complex variable. Following his suggestion, Molien started to study linear transformations of elliptic functions. The obtained results he submitted to the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the University of Dorpat as a master thesis titled "Ueber die lineare Transformation der elliptischen Functionen". In spring 1885 Molien passed the master's exams and after the defence in the autumn of 1885 he obtained the scientific degree of a Master of Mathematics. In November 1885 he became a docent at the University of Dorpat. This position he held for 15 years.
Summers (that were free from teaching) of 1886, 1888 and 1889 Molien spent in scientific centers of Germany. His interest concentrated on so-called higher complex numbers (nowadays called hypercomplex numbers). His studies resulted in his article "Über Systeme höherer komplexer Zahlen" ("On systems of higher complex numbers"), published in 1891 in Mathematische Annalen.
On 30 September 1892, Molien defended his dissertation, also titled "Über Systeme höherer komplexer Zahlen". He got the degree of a doctor of pure mathematics. The importance of his work was acknowledged by Georg Frobenius, Sophus Lie and other mathematicians. One of the main results of his dissertation sounds in modern terms as follows: every simple associative algebra over the field of complex numbers is isomorphic to the algebra of square matrices of a suitable order over the same field.
For his scientific achievements, in 1892 Molien was elected a member of Moscow Mathematical Society. In 1894 French mathematicians awarded him a golden medal dedicated to the seventieth birthday of Charles Hermite. During Dorpat years, Molien had mathematical correspondence with Frobenius and Hurwitz.
Since the University of Dorpat had only one professorship in pure mathematics, Molien had to stay for years at docent's position. Being a docent in Dorpat, Molien prepared and gave different lecture courses: Theory of analytic and elliptic functions, modern geometry and algebra, theory of algebraic equations, number theory, projective geometry, theory of quaternions, history of mathematics and others. Some of these courses were new for the university.
In 1887 Russian powers decided to change the language of secondary and higher education in Baltic governorates from German to Russian with the deadline 1 January 1895. With the purpose of improving his Russian language, Molien was sent to Moscow for the year 1892.
Career in Tomsk
Only in December 1900 Molien was given a professor's position, but not in Dorpat, but in the starting Tomsk Technological Institute in Siberia. He became the first professor of mathematics in Siberia. His was given a task of organizing teaching mathematics at the institute. In Tomsk, besides giving courses in mathematical analysis and differential equations, he wrote textbooks and exercise books on these subjects, and also established a mathematical library at the institute.
Known for his oppositional political views, he had to retire in 1913. Since 1914, Molien was a professor at higher Siberian courses for women in Tomsk, and when in 1917 the faculty of physics and mathematics was opened at the Tomsk State University, he got a professorship there, and stayed at that university until his death on 25 December 1941.
In Tomsk Molien spent 41 years of his life. These years were scientifically not as fruitful as earlier years.
He got the title of Honoured Worker of Science.

Other interests
Molien was interested in chess. In 1897-1898 he was in correspondence with a leading Russian chess player Mikhail Chigorin. He was one of the strongest chess players in Dorpat and was particularly known for his blindfold play (Ken Whyld, personal communication, 1995). He was president of the Dorpat chess club, and several of his games were published in the chess journal Baltische Schachblätter (edited by Friedrich Amelung). In 1898 Molien published four chess studies.
To 1895 dates his manuscript "On theory of assigning prizes in tournaments".
Molien had also talent for languages. He knew German, Estonian, French, Swedish already before he entered gymnasium where he learned Greek, Hebrew, Latin, English, Italian. Later he learned Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and Norwegian.

I love Hanna! So much about her

Normally I'm not much of a fan of the older man trope, but I was okay with this one. Because first of all, I love Hanna! So much about her, except for probably the super-smart bit, was a lot like me. The being too honest, blurting things out, and other stuff. Once again Sebastian York was the male narrator, and I wasn't sure about when he would do the British friend's accent. But since that wasn't the main character, it was okay.
This had the usual steamy sex scenes that I love by this author. And the humor, and the drama, and I loved getting to see Max and Chloe and all the other past characters.

Design of a full silica pulse compression grating
|
A diffraction grating engraved on a two-dimensional photonic crystal composed of square air holes in a silica matrix is numerically studied for the compression of ultrashort pulses. The silica is therefore the only solid material of the grating, and the reflection of the incident beam is based on the contrast of the air and silica refractive indices. This optical component enables the single use of silica as a solid material, presenting a high laser-induced damage threshold. In comparison to gratings engraved on a dielectric stack, multilayer dielectric, it offers the advantage of avoiding the presence of interfaces between two solid materials with different mechanical properties and sources of mechanical constraints that can distort the grating.

Paper VIII(ii) Deformation mechanisms and stresses created by 3rd body debris contacts and their effects on rolling bearing fatigue
|
The damage created on sufaces when third bodies are subjected to rolling-in can form the basis of a failure mode for non-conforming contacts such as those of rolling element bearings and gears. In modern rolling bearings, steel quality has improved to the extent that such surface defects appear to offer the source of a principal failure mode, and as such 3rd body effects are becoming more important in the engineers quest for improvements in machine reliabity. The debris deformation process is modelled, to help understand how both particle hardness and particle size can have very different effects on surface damage. But above all how both hardness and size are important in such a way that even relatively soft materials, under certain conditions, can cause plastic deformation in hard materials which in turn can lead to reductions in reliability,

If terrorists wanted to ruin billions of Americans, couldn't they just bomb millions of major banks?
|
There are two major reasons why they arent doing that. The first one being that you can't put a large enough dent in an economy by bombing a computerised money system. If you somehow get the money and the people to blow up millions or banks you will ruin a lot of tellers families but you will not ruin the economy. The second, and most important reason is that killing the economy is not the ultimate goal for terrorists. End of the line, striking fear in the hearts of people and making them respect you is the biggest goal for terrorists. That is why we are still talking about 9/11 more than 10 years after it happened. I come from Holland and we live pretty close to the recent happenings in Paris and it has been on the television almost every evening. Where people in talk shows debate if fear levels for attacks have increased in our country. Ultimately that was the goal of the terrorists. Striking fear and a sense of empowerment over people that they consider the enemy.

Hybrid ODE/SSA methods and the cell cycle model
|
Stochastic effect in cellular systems has been an important topic in systems biology. Stochastic modeling and simulation methods are important tools to study stochastic effect. Given the low efficiency of stochastic simulation algorithms, the hybrid method, which combines an ordinary differential equation (ODE) system with a stochastic chemically reacting system, shows its unique advantages in the modeling and simulation of biochemical systems. The efficiency of hybrid method is usually limited by reactions in the stochastic subsystem, which are modeled and simulated using Gillespie’s framework and frequently interrupt the integration of the ODE subsystem. In this paper we develop an efficient implementation approach for the hybrid method coupled with traditional ODE solvers. We also compare the efficiency of hybrid methods with three widely used ODE solvers RADAU5, DASSL, and DLSODAR. Numerical experiments with three biochemical models are presented. A detailed discussion is presented for the performance...

Hospital physios contract switched
|
A NEW provider will take over the physiotherapy department at Townlands Memorial Hospital in Henley next month.
Healthshare, which runs physio and musculoskeletal services across the country, will take over from the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust after successfully tendering for the contract.
The musculoskeletal physiotherapy service will offer the same services to NHS patients with conditions affecting joints, bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles.
The most serious cases will be seen from Friday, September 1 and the rest of the department will open on October 2.
A spokeswoman for the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, which is responsible for services at the new £10 million hospital, said: “We procured a new musculoskeletal service, including physiotherapy and podiatry in an open tender.
“Healthshare are our new provider. They run several NHS physiotherapy and MSK services in England.”
Meanwhile, patients in the Henley area will be able to book extra appointments with doctors as part of a countywide scheme.
GPs and nurses are offering up to 5,000 more appointments a month under an initiative launched by the commissioning group.
More than half of these are during times when practices are usually closed, such as evenings and weekends.
Henley has two GPs practices, the Bell and Hart surgeries, as well as the new hospital, which opened in March last year.
Julie Dandridge, head of primary care at the commissioning group, said: “We want patients to have access to more appointments throughout the week, including at weekends, to deliver more effective care in Oxfordshire.
“More evening and weekend routine appointments suit some people, especially those who work long hours, have commitments or prefer a more flexible time to see a doctor or nurse.
“I encourage local people to use this local service designed to improve patient care and wellbeing.”

|
A simple wooden bottle that can 'age' cheap booze in less than a day, could make humble plonk taste like vintage wine, inventors claim. While expensive vintages develop their flavour over years in oak barrels, the makers of the Oak Bottle promise their gadget will replicate the ageing process in just 24 hours. It means drinks lovers could enjoy the oaky flavours of premium tipples without having to fork out the high prices they demand. Scroll down for video . The Oak Bottle can turn cheap booze into fine wine with a vintage oak taste, its makers claim . All users need to do is pour their favourite wines in the bottle, which is made of sustainably sourced American oak, and then leave it for up to two days to take on the flavour of the receptacle. The bottle, which costs $79.99 (£50) from oakbottle.com, can also be used to improve the flavours of brandies, bourbons and even tequila. It's the brainchild of Canadian entrepreneur Joel Paglione, who came up with the idea after growing up on his parent's vineyard. Mr Paglione, 30, who now lives in Chicago, spent three years developing the Oak Bottle, which he says is the world's smallest and fastest way to infuse drinks with oak. Eight other versions which are flavoured with the likes of cherry, vanilla, maple and coffee are also available. He said: 'The Oak Bottle is a revolutionary device that makes cheap wine or spirits taste like an expensive vintage in just 24 to 48 hours. The Oak Bottle can also mellow the flavour of whisky, brandy and even tequila . 'What took months or years in oak barrels before takes just days now with Oak Bottle. 'My family has a vineyard and winery in Canada so I grew up in the wine making industry. 'Once I was old enough to help, I asked why we spend so much time filling small barrels of wine for oak ageing versus pouring it all into a giant barrel like we do the fermentation tanks. 'The answer, my father told me, was the smaller the oak barrel we use the faster the oak infusion and the faster we can achieve the desired oak tannin we are looking for in our wine.' The best wines spend years ageing in oak barrels . He then spent three years developing the Oak Bottle, which he claims is the 'smallest possible oak infusion vessel ever made'. Mr Paglione explained: 'It's all about the perfect amount of interaction with oxygen available for the liquid to "breathe" through the wood, and the perfect mount of oak contact of the liquid inside.' He said the most popular wines for oak bottle ageing are Chardonnay, Cabernet and Merlot. 'In just 48 hours an unoaked Chardonnay will taste like an expensive oaked Chardonnay vintage that has been aged in oak barrels for years,' he claimed. 'Whiskies, bourbons and brandy are also great for ageing with the Oak Bottle. He also thinks the bottle is good news for whisky makers as this will speed up the process. He said: 'Allowing people who perhaps could not afford a 20-year aged whiskey or that ten-year old wine vintage the ability to enjoy it but at a fraction of the time and cost. 'We are not saying that the Oak Bottle will make a boxed wine into a £50 bottle, but it can make an average wine much better and less insulting to your taste buds.' Despite just being launched, the Oak Bottle has already been given the thumbs up by top chefs including American TV personality Elizabeth Karmel. Miss Karmel, the star of US cooking show Iron Chef, carried out her own independent test of the Oak Bottle on tequila. She said: 'It is remarkable how this toasted Oak Bottle made by coopers has transformed the raw blanco tequila. 'The proof is in the tasting. It is layered with complexity - round, sweet and predictably oaky. I'd say that the experiment was a success.'

Acceleration-to-torque ratio based anti-skid control for electric vehicles
|
Anti-skid control for electric vehicles has attracted the attention of many researchers over the past years. Most of the approaches proposed need to measure or estimate the vehicle velocity to calculate the slip ratio. In this paper, an approach based on the ratio of wheel acceleration to motor torque for electric vehicle anti-skid control is proposed. Instead of the vehicle velocity, only two easily measured parameters for electric vehicles, wheel acceleration and motor torque, are used to estimate the slip level. Two types of controllers, a rules-based controller and a fuzzy logic controller are designed for the vehicle anti-skid control. Simulation results show that both of them can successfully prevent vehicle skidding.

I liked Night Sighs, but I had hoped to love it
|
DIANTHA'S REVIEW
I liked Night Sighs, but I had hoped to love it. It consists of several short stories following the sometimes troubled romance of the beautiful, mortal Alex and Tristan, a vampire blessed with the gift of music and a special talent for attracting danger. I loved the premise, but felt the book fell just short of what I was expecting.
Meade is a great writer with a talent for expression and wordplay. Definitely not a problem there. It was the stories themselves that I struggled with. The stories for me were disjointed, and at times, random. I liked the first story, The Dead Beats. Tristan is HOT and the romance was scorching, which is something that I felt didn't let up throughout the book, which is good. But the connection between the stories? I just didn't get it.
The Ancients was quite random and seemed very out of place for this book, but Bourbon & Jazz was pretty cute and filled with a good amount of action. Until My Body is Dust and West of Forever were just not that memorable for me, but nevertheless, I liked this book and will most likely read more from this author if ever given the opportunity.

Fire Emblem women: I love them more than the real thing.
|
Anime women, but more specifically Fire Emblem women, I have fallen in love with. I am not a stereotypical nerd; I workout and socialize with people. I just... wish these women were real. They're so sexy and playful and have great personalities, characteristics that are seemingly absent in real life.
I'm not sure why I posted this... Maybe because deep down I know a lot of you feel the same way. I am pretty open with my feelings. This fantasy is not my reality, unfortunately, and I'm sure many of you will tell me, as well as yourselves, that I have to get acquainted with the real world.
We're at a cross-roads right now. Video games are in a primitive stage. They were introduced less than half a century ago, so we're experiencing what will be considered bare-bones experiences by the time this shit gets real good at the end of the 21st century.
We will live in these worlds. No one will have to deal with reality anymore. It will be opposed at first, but gradually, just like anything else, people will get used to it. We are becoming more consumed by technology every day. It's only a matter of time.
I love these women. It pains me knowing that they won't be able to reciprocate the feelings any time soon. I will wait, though, to live forever-to live with these women. I'm not delusional; I'm just thinking ahead. And I now many of you feel the same way deep down inside...

A novel copper catalyst containing a hydroxyl functional group: a facile strategy to prepare block copolymers of vinyl monomer and ε-caprolactone via tandem reverse ATRP and ROP
|
Reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (R-ATRP) and ring-opening polymerization (ROP) are the two representative processes of the most promising living/controlled polymerization techniques. Herein, a facile and stable metal catalyst, Cu(S(SC)(N–CH3)CH2CH2OH)2, containing a hydroxyl group was first designed with an aim to prepare block copolymers of vinyl monomer and cyclic ester monomer via a combination of R-ATRP and ROP. The vinyl polymer chain end attached with a hydroxyl functionality obtained from R-ATRP was directly used as a macroinitiator to prepare the block copolymers via ROP of e-caprolactone. 1H NMR and GPC analyses as well as ROP chain-extension reaction confirmed that the vinyl polymers possessed very high chain end functionality, and the block copolymers of the vinyl monomer and cyclic ester monomer were successfully synthesized.

Ohio Woman Wins A Million Dollars For Being Vaccinated
|
Abbigail Bugenske of Silverton near Cincinnati is Ohio's first million-dollar winner in a series of lotteries intended to encourage more people to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Joseph Costello of Englewood near Dayton won a full college scholarship in the lottery for people under age 18 who've been vaccinated. Amid dropping vaccine demand in Ohio, Gov. Mike DeWine announced the five weekly drawings of $1 million open to residents who've received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The scholarship lottery for teenagers offers five full, four-year scholarships to a public university in Ohio - room and board included. "The number of Ohioans who get the vaccine will determine what our future looks like, particularly this coming winter," DeWine said in a statewide address Wednesday. "Everyone has a stake in more Ohioans getting vaccinated." The weekly drawings began Monday, with the announcement of the winners delayed until Wednesday while their vaccine status was confirmed. The money will come from existing federal Coronavirus Relief Funds. "I know that some may say, 'DeWine, you're crazy! This million-dollar drawing idea of yours is a waste of money,'" DeWine said. "But truly, the real waste at this point in the pandemic — when the vaccine is readily available to anyone who wants it — is a life lost to COVID-19." Nearly 42% of Ohioans have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to state data. DeWine's push to boost participation in the state's immunization program is part of a trend among other states. In an effort to reach those who have yet to receive a first dose, officials in other states are offering free tickets to sports games or a free beer and a shot to entice vaccination. Elsewhere in Ohio, DeWine said other businesses are running their own incentive program. He said the Cleveland Indians are offering discounts on tickets to games, as are the state's minor league teams. The fast food restaurant, White Castle, is offering free butter cakes on a stick and Kroger, the grocery store chain, is giving employees $100 in cash. Lottery details The pool of names for the lottery drawing initially were to be pulled from the Ohio Secretary of State's publicly available voter registration database. That rule was later changed to require people to sign up on the lottery website or by phone with the Department of Health. The Ohio Department of Health will be the sponsoring agency for the drawings, and the Ohio Lottery will conduct them. To be eligible to win, participants must be at least 18 or older on the day of the drawing, an Ohio resident, and must be vaccinated before the drawing.

Not worth the money. Does not work as described, poor customer service. Do not buy.

Does not work as advertised, not worth the money. The older, much cheaper one it replaced works just as well. Flap dos not seal well, large gaps on either side and will stick completely open on occasion. Have tried to contact the manufacturer numerous times, but they have not done anything to resolve the issue. They are slow to respond. Save your money. Update, the manufacturer will not respond at all now, has been several weeks and they refuse to do anything to resolve the issues.

Electrodynamic multiple-scattering method for the simulation of optical trapping atop periodic metamaterials
|
AbstractWe present a new theoretical tool for simulating optical trapping of nanoparticles in the presence of an arbitrary metamaterial design. The method is based on rigorously solving Maxwell’s equations for the metamaterial via a hybrid discrete-dipole approximation/multiple-scattering technique and direct calculation of the optical force exerted on the nanoparticle by means of the Maxwell stress tensor. We apply the method to the case of a spherical polystyrene probe trapped within the optical landscape created by illuminating of a plasmonic metamaterial consisting of periodically arranged tapered metallic nanopyramids. The developed technique is ideally suited for general optomechanical calculations involving metamaterial designs and can compete with purely numerical methods such as finite-difference or finite-element schemes.
