EU leaders are today meeting in Brussels for the second round of negotiations focussing on Brexit, security and counter-terrorism.
The meeting is well underway, with all the European leaders in attendance alongside the world's media.
While Merkel, 62, bent down to speak, Theresa, 60, remained sitting in her seat for the entirety of the 10-minute conversation.
Robin Kermode, popular keynote speaker and one of Europe’s leading communication coaches, decoded what the two powerful females were saying to one another with their body language alone.
Merkel could have easily stood upright behind May to assert her authority by forcing May to strain to look upwards
Merkel v May
Looking at the image of Merkel leaning over Theresa May to speak to her before the meeting, Robin said: "On a body language level, both women are showing respect to each other in this image.
"This image shows a conciliatory, almost conspiratorial conversation. Merkel could have easily stood upright behind May to assert her authority by forcing May to strain to look upwards towards her, but she doesn’t. She bends down generously with open hand gestures.
"May's head is turned towards Merkel, but she looks comfortable with the power balance."
He added: "[In the pictures of Merkel talking to May they] both appear to have good, relaxed open eye contact demonstrating they are showing respect to each other.
"They both look more relaxed than the men around them!"
Angela Merkel: The German Chancellor was pictured leaning over Theresa May, PM
Angela Merkel: The pair looked deep in conversation as they had a chat before negotiations
Looking at an image of Merkel looking baffled as she spoke to a colleague, the expert said: "It’s easy to take this type of picture on face value alone, but we don’t actually know what Merkel is reacting to here in this quick still.
"Merkel is showing the classic signs of shock as if she has been told some bad news.
"The face is partly in neutral whilst the brain tries to compute the news – her lip corners are drawn heavily down, her lips themselves are flat in neutral, her eye brows raised on each side with a centre frown and her eyes are looking down and to the left."
Theresa May's confidence
As Theresa May walked in alongside the Spanish PM, Robin explained she was showing confidence - she's ready for Brexit talks in her bright white outfit.
"May is leaning slightly forward – her chin is slightly forward with her head up. She is looking confident – the slight lean forward showing she is ready for this meeting.
"Her eyes are open and her face relaxed. She is looking more relaxed than the people around her. Choosing white is a striking move – clean, fresh and present."
Angela Merkel: She pulled a face as she spoke to another member of the meeting
Theresa May: The British Prime Minister arrived with Spain's Prime Minister
Laughing Chancellor of Germany
Finally, the image of Merkel speaking to the Spanish PM with a huge smile on her face shows her "true smile" according to Robin.
He explained: "Merkel is showing a genuine smile here – her smile is reaching the top outside corners of her eyes – this is the hardest point to fake if the smile is not genuine.
"Her shoulders are calmly down, relaxing her upper body.
"Despite the pressure of the situation facing everyone there and with the cameras on her, she is looking confident and calm. Her red outfit shows confidence too!"
Angela Merkel: The German Chancellor smiled and laughed with Portugal's António Costa
Before chatting to Mrs May, the German Chancellor had been working the room warmly greeting key leaders including Mr Tusk and Mr Juncker, to reinforce her strong position within the bloc.
Mrs May last night made a generous offer to the EU, allowing all three million of its citizens currently living in the UK to have full residency status.
She said all EU citizens legally living in Britain today can stay and have full access to the NHS, education, benefits and pensions.
She is not expected to detail any of the specifics until Monday.

Exploring the Identity & Access dashboard in Azure Security Center
In Azure Security Center you can use the Identity & Access dashboard to explore more details about your identity posture. In this dashboard you have a snapshot of your identity related activities as shown in the example below:
Just by looking at this dashboard you can draw some conclusions, for example, all failed logons were due an invalid username or password. However, by looking at the accounts under Failed logons section, I can see that none of these accounts exist in my environment (off course, you need knowledge of the environment to conclude that). This can be an indication that there was attempt to brute force the authentication by trying different username and passwords. But what if this was a large organization, and you just don't know all accounts? The follow up question may be: is it possible to know if it was just the username that was wrong? Yes, there is! Follow the steps below to find out:
1. In the Identity & Access dashboard, click the Failed Logon Reasons chart.
2. Log analytics search will open with the result for the following query:
SecurityEvent | where AccountType == 'User' and EventID == 4625 and (FailureReason has '2313')
4. Click show more in one of the records.
For this example, the FailureReason field is %%2313, which means Unknown user name or bad password. The %% numbers you see in the FailureReason field are replacement string placeholders used to put localized values in when generating the display text for messages. Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing uses the msobjs.dll for storing those localized values. To find out what this code means you can use the open source tool msgdump and dump the message table from msobjs.dll to a txt file (big thanks to Ted Hardy for showing me how to make this conversion):
msgdump %windir%\system32\msobjs.dll > msobjsdll.txt
This is cool, but still not showing if it was only the user name that was wrong! True, and for that you should look at the SubStatus field:
The status for this one is 0xc0000064, which means: User logon with misspelled or bad user account. How do I know? Well, this is the easy part, is documented here, and if you don’t find in there, you can find it here. With that we can conclude that it was really a bad username, which increases the likelihood that this was a dictionary attack (which is basically a brute force). Keep in mind that this is just one step in the investigation, in the same record make sure to review the source of this authentication (computer, IP, process). Also take advantage of other Security Center capabilities, such as Security Alerts, Security Incidents, and use the Investigation feature to find all the entities involved in the attack.

Best-in-Class Vendor Identification
A BioPharma Industry Solution
Because of the changing landscape in the BioPharma industry, where no one knows when, or if, the next life changing, blockbuster drug will make its way through the FDA process for final approval, organizations need to closely analyze and manage revenue and costs.
Vendor Operating Proficiency
Zensights delivers comprehensive benchmarking guidance on vendors and their capabilities that expedites finding the most appropriate Pharma Industry solution providers.
Vendor Selection for Data Analytics
Zensights skillfully navigates complex, “big data” landscapes so clients find business analytics readily available.
Vendor Management for Informatics Technology
Zensights structures approaches and strategies so clients swiftly share intelligence across the enterprise.
The organizations that survive and thrive in this industry know the importance of:
1. Optimal vendor selection, to ensure that engagements have the best possible outcomes and that cutting edge innovation is being shared by their respective vendor selections.
2. Wise budgetary spending, to safeguard their capital.
3. Carefully crafted contracts with appropriate Terms and Conditions included to protect their organization moving forward.
All of these components, when addressed in tandem, can have an enormous impact on a BioPharma’s financial and organizational health.
Many companies already have a “procurement process” in place.
However, in most cases it becomes easy to ‘hit the easy button.’ For example, they know that Vendor/Supplier A is very good regarding their core competencies and Vendor/Supplier A knows this as well. Unfortunately, all too often a few things happen in this case:
1. Knowing that their position will remain unchallenged by BioPharma budget holders, Vendor A fails to bring innovation and new ways of thinking forward.
2. Since they know they are a ‘preferred vendor,’ Vendor A swaps out their “A Team” consultants, for the “B Team” (and still charge the BioPharma companies the “A Team” rate.)
3. The contracts are written to benefit the Vendor/Supplier, not necessarily the BioPharma firm.
Because this is a systemic, organizational problem, BioPharma companies need to keep a very close eye on their vendor selection, budgetary spend and contract negotiations.
However, this can be a daunting task as internal teams already have tremendous workloads.
“Our experience with Zensights has been exceptional. We highly recommend Zensights for their refreshing approach to problem solving, their integrity in bringing forward vendors and their astute understanding of our specific issues.” –Meda Pharmaceuticals
“Working with Bob and the Zensights team has been a pleasure. They strive to provide unbiased assessments based on hard facts and figures. The Zensights team is not afraid to challenge the status quo in order to streamline a process, reduce costs, or propose innovative business solutions. I count on Zensights when I have complex business questions that need to be examined from multiple perspectives.” – Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation
“The Specialty Pharma commercial environment has become extremely sophisticated and the insights that Bob and his team provide into navigating this evolving complex landscape are truly invaluable. Zensights has brought multiple “best in class” vendors to our organization to address specific data, strategy and operational needs. We have profited from these new relationships whereby they have enabled us to capitalize on opportunities that were unforeseen before being elucidated by the Zensights team. I highly recommend working with Bob and the Zensights team as they are truly changing the paradigm of how we look at our business metrics in this new and evolving era for Pharmaceutical sales and marketing.” – Halozyme Pharmaceuticals
To help ensure BioPharma health and wellness, Zensights is passionate about identifying and addressing the selection of best in class vendors/supplies. After identification of the right vendors, Zensights is committed to helping BioPharma Manufacturers achieve optimal outcomes and appropriate contractual Terms and Conditions by sharing proprietary insights and forward thinking approaches to Vendor Partnership arrangements.

After a chance encounter at a theater, two men, Benigno and Marco, meet at a private clinic where Benigno works. Lydia, Marco's girlfriend and a bullfighter by profession, has been gored and is in a coma. It so happens that Benigno is looking after another woman in a coma, Alicia, a young ballet student. The lives of the four characters will flow in all directions, past, present and future, dragging all of them towards an unsuspected destiny. Written by
After Marco moves in to Benigno's apartment there is a moment when a book is seen on the nightstand by the bed. That book is Las Horas by Michael Cunningham. This is a Spanish translation of The Hours, which was made into the 2002 movie of the same name. Both The Hours (2002) and Hable con ella were nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards in 2003. See more »
The end credits contain the following text: "El 7 de agosto, durante el rodaje de esta película nació Pablo hijo de Cova y de Juan y niño de todos.". This translates to: "On August 7th, while shooting this movie, Pablo, son of Cova and Juan and child of all of us, was born." See more »

Benigno and Marco are both lonely men, Marco because his lover, a woman bullfighter, is in a coma, Benigno, a thirty-year old virgin Momma's boy, from habit. Both are in love, too (Benigno, a male nurse at the clinic, slavishly tends Alicia, a comatose accident victim, for a living). It is he who gives Marco, with whom he strikes up a friendship, the eponymous advice: talk, and your heartfelt monologue will be more meaningful and therapeutic than any marital dialogue.
Seeing Almodóvar's latest film was one of the most pleasurable cinema experiences I have had for some time. He has over the years amassed the technical skill and maturity to put across quite complex stories in a deceptively simple language. From the shock tactics and punk aesthetics of Pepi, Luci, Bom, y otras chicas del montón (1980), to the Oscar-winning melodrama of All About My Mother (1999), he had already come a long way. Here, finally, was an interweaving of the lives of disparate characters that was not only unabashed in its excess (it always had been), it actually made you care deeply.
At first sight Hable con ella looks like being another case study in that famously offbeat, not to say queer, book of life according to Pedro. Almodóvar's scenarios have been no strangers to sex, drugs, and heartrending canción (a particular brand of overwrought singing which knows no real Anglo-Saxon equivalent). In Hable con ella we have bullfighting, a theme he used as an excuse for kinky sex in Matador, given a contemporary treatment in the person of 'torera', Lydia (female bullfighters are indeed beginning to compete in a man's profession). Here too we have the apparently off-the-wall and by now notorious scene from the film-within-the-film, El Amante Minguante, in which a shrunken hero takes refuge in his lover's vagina for protection. But neither is gratuitous gesture: Lydia is designed to counterpoint Marco's almost feminine sensitivity, and the latter sequence, far from being there to shock, is a metaphor to spare us a far more harrowing, and morally problematic, plot truth. The ability to turn kitsch into art is increasingly one of Almodóvar's defining features.
While he often refers to other artforms in his films (reality TV in Kika, Ruth Rendell in Live Flesh, canción in High Heels), since All About My Mother the technique has become more assured. Where that film was a paean to female suffering, via All About Eve and A Streetcar Named Desire, in Hable con ella we have two men sharing a tear over a performance by the dancer Pina Bausch. Other references are the Brazilian singer Caetano Veloso, who sings at a party attended by (uncredited) Cecilia Roth and Marisa Paredes (from Mother), and Michael Cunningham, whose novel The Hours similarly has a tripartite structure where each section deepens and sheds light on the others ('tunnels in caves'). In other words the post-modernist borrowing is rendered invisible by being absorbed into the drama: it is not post-modern any more.
Almodóvar's choice to make a film about the loneliness and longing of men is a courageous one for a very private celebrity, a gamble to follow what might have been the peak of his career, and one which whets our appetite for what is to come.

Perth, the capital of Western Australia. It is where the Swan River meets the southwest coast. Sandy beaches include its municipalities. The Kings Park on riverside and Botanic Garden on Mount Eliza offer extensive visions of the city. The Perth Cultural Centre houses the state ballet and opera corporations, and occupies its central precinct, comprising a theatre, library and the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
Perth is a delightfuland magnificent city, it has a beautiful climate, called a ‘Mediterranean’ climate – Hot dry midsummers, cool, wet winters just like southern European countries. There is a lot of variability and selection in terms of housing, many different natures of environment, still lots of older dynasties from the ‘Federation’ era.
Things to do in Perth
Perth is a pleasing and amusing place where you can go with your family for enjoyment and to avoid boredom. It serves people with the best kind of gratification.
From touring and reconnoitering our fair city, to live harmony and melody and public art, and with all the best and most naive so-Perth-it-hurts things in between, it seems that the best things in life essentially do come free in Perth. Here are some places where the city serves its best.
Kings Park is one of the world’s largest and most attractive cities. It is rich in Indigenous and European history, up-to-date culture and offers ground-breaking design, parades, and services. Kings Park has an intercontinental reputation for scientific research, leading viniculture, conservation, and public edification.
A lot of people tend to roll their eyes when Kings Park is flustered out as one of our greatest chattels, but those people are silly.Hanging in Kings Park is unquestionably one of the best free things to do in Perth.
Art Gallery in Western Australia
There isn’t anyone who doesn’t love, clandestinely or otherwise, visiting the Perth Cultural Centre. Free stuff goes on there throughout the year, the never-fail place which looks pleasant in many ways is the Art Gallery, which is free to enter. They also have a whole host of events like Artists Talks that are frequently, if not almost always free.
The Swan River is Perth’s favorite concourse. The stunning waterway that streams its way from the Darling Scarp to Fremantle. This natural fascination in the popular locality for Perth locals and visitors to enjoy a day out boating, fishing, skiing, paddling, swimming, picnicking or simply relishing and loving its landscape.
Rich in environmental and cultural values, the Swan River was named Derbal Yerrigan first. People believe that the river was created by the rainbow traitor ‘Waugal’. It is believed that the creeks, waterholes, ponds, and basins on its journey to the ocean were created by Waugal.
Perth is famous for…
Perth is the capital city of Western Australia, with a population of almost 2 million people, and is famous for being the most secluded and guaranteed city in the world. It is completely enclosed and encircled by Australian nature: The Indian Ocean on one side and the other side is the Australian outback.
Is Perth a good city to live in?
A stunning and striking city, where people are jolly with each other. The places are amazing and delightful to visit. You can spend your entire life here with no tension and regrets or tautness.
Perth has many great restaurants in the outclassand outshine. A nice little museum and a fabulous excel zoo.
The weather serves a great environment. Mostly it is 25kmph except 1 or 2 days a year. The Winters are great with many sunlit days. In Summer, it can get into the high temperature with resilient hot winds.
The public transport system is best labeled as elementary. The travel is virtually unmanageable on public transport without first traveling to the city center. There is an efficient North/South railway with an allowance coming to the North-East soon. In the city center, there are free buses on a circular route and to numerous places around the center. This is a recurrent and regular, excellent service.
Health care is outstanding, with several major hospitals, a new one has only just unwrapped, and the care is as good as every place in the Western world.
Perth Airport Parking
Perth Airport is an international airport, located on Dunreath drive in Western Australia. It has an international terminal with more than three terminal regions.
Parkos is a platform for car parking. You can select your desired place online. Every type of ease and comfort will be provided by Parkos which we hope will attract the customer. But at the airport parking Perth, the parking garages are 10 minutes away from the Perth airport, the valet parking and shuttle buses will be there to serve ease to people.
They are serving as the market leader in Europe, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Italy, and plenty of other safe places to visit. Also, they have expanded their services to Australia. They are currently in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth and are planning to expand to more cities soon.
Bryan has visited exactly one more country than his wife, and she won’t let him forget it! Also an avid photographer, he enjoys entrenching himself within the local culture in order to learn more about the people of a place. He is the co-founder of Budget Your Trip and loves a good adventure, an exotic meal, or a passionate conversation about global events.

We left Geneva after lunch because we didn't make it in time for the early train but we enjoyed a morning of reading on a park bench above the gardens overlooking Lake Geneva. We had our lunch at a sidewalk cafe and then made our way to the train station around 2:30.

Elite C secure first-innings points; claim Duleep Trophy
A century from southpaw Hemang Badani and a four-wicket haul by left-arm spinner Nilesh Kulkarni helped Elite C secure first-innings points in their drawn encounter against Plate B at the Nehru Stadium, Cochin. The five points that they gained from their final league match as a result ensured that Elite C were crowned the new Duleep champions.
After Elite C skipper Shiv Sunder Das won the toss, Badani with 129 (241 balls, 15 fours, two sixes) and Pankaj Dharmani 73 (242 balls, eight fours) helped their side post a massive 426 all out in their first innings. Getting past the score and earning the first-innings points was always going to be a herculean task for Plate B from thereon.
But with skipper Jacob Arunkumar (78 off 149 balls) and Vijay Bhardwaj (105 off 251 balls) playing spirited hands, they had a go at it. The failure of the late middle-order and the tail, though, cost them dearly as they were finally dismissed for 322. Kulkarni with 4/103 and fellow-spinner Kulamani Parida, with 3/100, were the main destroyers for Elite C.
Needing to bat for less than a day to secure the draw and the title, Elite C, with Kiran Powar making 50, managed to weather a last-ditch attempt by the Plate B bowlers, led by veteran Narendra Hirwani, 4/49 from 23 overs, and reach 167/7 in their second dig before play was eventually called off.
Plate B had to be content with just three points for their efforts.

- Paid Media
Concrete Craft, a professional provider and installer of concrete flooring, was a brand new business with an even newer website when they first came to Power Digital.
Having a new website comes with inherent challenges for Search marketing. Not only that, Organic rankings are usually non-existent.
This was the case with Concrete Craft during their first couple months in business, even for Branded Search terms.
The goal was to boost site traffic and organic search rankings, while increasing impressions on the “Concrete Craft” branded search keywords.
Power Digital came together to strategize and helped Concrete Craft implement a website launch plan through a combination of short-term PPC and long-term SEO strategies.
Their business model was one we were comfortably familiar with, which was local consultants.
We applied proven, localized Paid Search strategies to customize Concrete Craft’s presence in each of their markets across the US. This involved Local landing pages, callouts to cities in ad copy, bidding on keywords with local permutations, and tailoring keyword themes by popular products in each region.
As our SEO efforts began to ramp up, we deployed due diligence in setting up the website to get on Google’s radar. We also implemented a long-term keyword research and content optimization, technical implementation, and external link building.
- Rise in Organic Search Leads
- Increase in Total Site Traffic
When we say SEO is a long-term strategy, we mean it.
Our Paid campaigns ensured steady growth in traffic until month 6….when traffic absolutely hockey-sticked.
From month 5 to month 6, total site traffic increased 68%, largely due to the Organic channel which increased an incredible 78%!
In addition, Organic Search leads rose 101% that month. Performance maintained at this increased level for months to come, rising an additional 1%-3% per month, until again in month 10 when the Organic channel rose significantly once more, this time increasing another 10%.

We seem to be naturally awakening around the same time on this trip… somewhere between 7 and 8. Lori gave up on scrapbooking and we decided to go outside for a while, where the day was bright and sunny….ha!! We wish. No, the fog was right there where we had left it, hanging over the ground, the sky and the sun. Despite the fog, we tied on our tennis shoes and set off on a wonderful walk on the beach. Blaine does not have a sandy beach, it’s rocky and seaweedy and not very wide, but it was a great walk nonetheless. We passed several other walkers, some with dogs, all out and enjoying the foggy morning as we were. After 30 minutes we came up from the beach and returned to the condo along the street route. Back in the room, we tossed the states. Two down…and two up – Nebraska and North Carolina! I hadn’t had any real strong opinions about the remaining states, but I was not sad to see Alabama go. After a yummy breakfast of bacon and eggs we passed the rest of the morning in our normal fashion. Noon was checkout time, and soon after, we were in the car headed to Seattle.
Once in Seattle, we checked into the WorldMark Camlin. This used to be the Camlin Hotel, but was bought by WorldMark over 10 years ago. It is beautiful, and since it was an old-world hotel originally built in 1926, it has a different feel than other WorldMarks I have stayed in with Lori. There is a big beautiful lobby with a player grand piano, sumptuous carpets, and lots of maroon and gold and copper furniture and drapes. There isn’t a full kitchen in this one, but a kitchenette with microwave, small fridge, and sink. The master bedroom had a tiny attached bathroom, but my favorite part is that the shower in the main bathroom has a window in it that actually opens.
Lori and I put our things away in our rooms, and then flipped our switches. We have these mental switches that we can turn on and off to adjust to our surroundings. We do it without thinking most times. Our brains told us that we needed to flip from rural mode into urban mode, and so we did so, without any type of recognition or discussion. With switches flipped, we grabbed purses and camera and took off out into the city to see what we could see.
I have recently decided that my wardrobe, which is plentiful for sure, is also old and travel-weary, and needs some sprucing up. So, even though I didn’t really intend it, this trip turned into a shopping excursion. Shopping is one of those things for which you need just the right partner, or else it is better to do it alone. Lori and I have years of shopping experience together, and are great partners. Seattle has wonderful shopping, and while they certainly have malls somewhere I’m sure, their downtown is our favorite kind of downtown, with street after street of stores, restaurants, interesting architecture, and eclectic, somewhat unique people.
We started out by walking directly west from our hotel, down to the waterfront, where we explored the most famous of Seattle’s attractions, the Pike Place City Market. Lori has been to Seattle several times, as it is an easy getaway for her and her family, but I haven’t been here since I came through with the Dreamgirls tour in the latter half of 1988. All I remembered was that I loved the city, and that I had really enjoyed coming to Pike Place Market. We wended our way up and down the market, bought some souvenirs, gawked at the HUGE clams, and stopped at the original Starbucks coffee shop, which was – as it is every single day of the year – packed. A barista told us that in the summer people will wait over 90 minutes for coffee. Now, I’m all for experiencing history, but that is just stupid. Seattle boasts three Starbucks stores for every two blocks. I would say, go look at the original store, and then go buy your coffee at another one!
We wandered past a Russian bakery where we stopped to watch with fascination as a woman in the bakery window rolled out some yummy looking yellowish dough, slathered it with.butter, folded it up, then began the entire process again. We decided the dough was so yellow because of the egg mixture we saw on the shelf above the woman. She was making piroshkis, of which I had never heard. I had heard of pierogis, but not piroshkis. Lori and I decided to look up the difference. Pierogis are Polish (which I knew but had forgotten) and are similar to Russian vareniki – they are more like what we would call a dumpling; while a piroshky is like a baked bun. Piroshkis have either sweet or savory fillings. We decided to come back the next day and taste the delicious-looking thing.
As we were walking down one street we saw one of those people who pretend to be statues and place themselves on the sidewalk, standing stock still and wowing the passing crowds by their sheer quietude and determination. This was a lady all in copper, in old-fashioned dress. We watched her for a while, then Lori wondered out loud if we tipped her, we could get her to move. Lori went to place a couple of dollars at the woman’s feet, and as she did so the copper lady gently came to life and ever so slowly, blew Lori a kiss. We were delighted. I love that Lori and I are always ready to celebrate our inner child.
Seattle is HILLY. After what turned out to be a great workout hiking the downtown streets, we headed back to the hotel in the early evening. At one point, Lori prohibited me from starting across a street because the walk timer was down to 8, and the picture was of the stopped man and not the walking man. The street was neither wide nor too terribly busy. While we are both certainly getting older, we are still mostly able-bodied and probably could have crossed the street in the allotted time without mishap, but I bowed to the concerns of my best friend of so many years. I’m sure Lori was just being cautious and safe, not timid. And certainly not a wimp. Never that.
I had started sneezing on Saturday night, and by Sunday night it was apparent that I had definitely caught a cold – ugh! Back in the room, we settled in to a lazy Sunday night of snacks, journaling, and watching the Colts beat the Peyton Manning and the Broncos – a heartwrenching experience for those of us who wished that somehow both Peyton AND the Colts could win. I will always root for the home team, though, and it was a great win. Lori hasn’t been sleeping very well, and I was battling my cold, so after the game we went to bed, somewhat amazed that when we awakened it would be yet another last day of yet another awesome Girls Weekend.

Nick Lubecki isn't someone you know, but his attitude towards long distance riding is one you should know. He's pedaled around the United States and Canada using equipment most enthusiasts would balk at. He finds his food in dumpsters and along the road, tossing it and anything else he might find in a basket strapped to his rear rack.
No matter that his way is unconventional, his nature reserved or his appearance slightly disheveled—Nick's advice is founded on first-hand experience and his story is pure inspiration. –Ed.
Pretty good read.

2011 Roundtable at Stanford: How do we fix America's schools?
"Education Nation 2.0: Redefining K-12 Education in America, Before It Redefines Us" is the topic of the 2011 Roundtable at Stanford on Saturday, Oct. 22. Moderated by PBS' Charlie Rose, the panel will include Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker, Netflix founder Reed Hastings, educational innovator Salman Khan and other educational thought leaders.
By Melinda Sacks
America's schools are in trouble. Twenty-five percent of American kids drop out of high school. And those who graduate often are ill prepared for college or a 21st-century job.
But potential solutions are polarizing. Is the problem money? School administrators? Teachers unions? Parents? There is plenty of blame to go around, yet all agree the problem must be addressed.
Designing an education system that truly builds the skills necessary for today's enormously diverse student population to thrive is not easy. But it is the key to opportunity for our citizens, our nation's economic vitality and America's position as a world leader.
"Education Nation 2.0: Redefining K-12 Education in America, Before It Redefines Us" is the topic of the 2011 Roundtable at Stanford on Saturday, Oct. 22, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at Maples Pavilion. Moderated by PBS' Charlie Rose, the panel will include:
The Roundtable is free for students, staff and faculty with Stanford ID cards, as well as Reunion Homecoming participants with reunion nametags. Tickets for the general public are $10 and are available through the Stanford Ticket Office: (650) 725-2787. Parking is limited, so come early or use public transportation.
Melinda Sacks is director of media initiatives in the Office of Public Affairs.

By MIKE FITZPATRICK
NEW YORK (AP) Six outs from getting swept at home by Washington, the New York Mets stunned their NL East rivals with a nine-run rally instead.
Yoenis Cespedes launched a grand slam for his second key hit of the eighth inning, capping a colossal outburst that propelled the Mets past the Nationals 11-5 on Wednesday night and prevented a three-game sweep.
"We just went out and took it," manager Mickey Callaway said.
Todd Frazier tied it at 4 with a two-run single and pinch-hitter Juan Lagares put New York ahead for the first time with a two-run double off ineffective setup man Ryan Madson (0-2), who was pitching for the third night in a row and fourth time in five games.
"I think I had about five or 10 good bullets in there. The ball started getting away from me after that. I kind of emptied the tank the night before," Madson said. "But I signed up for it."
The right-hander has made 11 relief appearances already this season.
"Madson's our guy," Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. "I'm going to put him out there. It just didn't work out today."
Shut down by Tanner Roark for seven innings, the first-place Mets broke loose in the eighth and improved to 13-4 with a stirring victory.
"It's important to not let them sweep us," Cespedes said through a translator.
Ryan Zimmerman homered twice, tripled and drove in four runs for the Nationals (9-10), who pulled off their own big comeback in the eighth inning of the series opener.
Two nights later, New York returned the favor.
"That was really big," Callaway said . "That inning was unbelievable."
Roark limited the Mets to two hits and left leading 4-2, but Michael Conforto, Cespedes and Asdrubal Cabrera singled off Madson to load the bases in the eighth. Jay Bruce fouled out before Frazier smacked a two-run single up the middle.
"You can kind of feel the energy building," Conforto said. "Just with the guys saying, `Hey, it's time to go.'"
One out later, Lagares lined a bases-loaded double the other way, just inside the right-field line at the outer edge of the infield grass, to put the Mets up 6-4.
"He made a good pitch, but I was ready," Lagares said.
Sammy Solis walked Amed Rosario and Conforto, forcing in another run.
Cespedes connected off A.J. Cole for his sixth career slam - third by the Mets this season - to send fans into a frenzy at Citi Field.
"The exclamation point," Frazier said. "That's the excitement we bring."
Both of Cespedes' hits in the inning came on 0-2 pitches.
"Just everybody coming up clutch, especially with two strikes," Frazier said.
AJ Ramos (1-1) worked a perfect inning for his first win with the Mets.
Zimmerman, who began the night batting .121, hit a three-run homer off Steven Matz in the first.
Cabrera doubled to open the fourth and scored on Adrian Gonzalez's single. Zimmerman had a chance to start an inning-ending double play, but his throwing error from first base allowed another run to score on Jose Lobaton's RBI grounder.
After Matz and Paul Sewald combined to retire 16 batters in a row, Zimmerman's leadoff triple in the seventh dropped in front of a diving Bruce in right field and rolled past him. Moises Sierra's sacrifice fly made it 4-2.
Zimmerman also went deep in the ninth for his 24th career multihomer game.
NEVER OUT OF IT
It was New York's eighth comeback win - the Mets began the day tied with Boston and Philadelphia for most in the majors. "If we're a couple runs down late in a game, we're very confident we can come back," Conforto said. "It's just huge for us to avoid the sweep."
Cespedes has a .463 career batting average (25 for 54) and 71 RBIs with the bases loaded.
Nationals: 3B Anthony Rendon missed his fifth straight game with a bruised left big toe after a fouling a pitch off his foot last week. The team hopes to have Rendon back Friday in Los Angeles, Martinez said. ... Pedro Severino started at catcher for the second consecutive game over Matt Wieters, who is nursing a sore wrist but was available off the bench. ... All-Star 2B Daniel Murphy, rehabbing from right knee surgery, got five at-bats during an extended spring training game Tuesday and was scheduled to play there again Wednesday, according to Martinez.
Mets: Cespedes fouled a pitch off his left leg in the third inning and left foot in the eighth. He was shaken up both times. ... Rather than going to the team's complex in Florida to begin throwing this week, RHP Anthony Swarzak (strained left oblique) will remain in New York receiving treatment when the Mets hit the road, perhaps an indication the reliever isn't healing as fast as hoped. ... LHP Jason Vargas (broken right hand) will be examined Saturday. ... C Travis d'Arnaud had Tommy John surgery Tuesday as planned.
DOWN ON THE FARM
The Mets signed RHP Vance Worley and RHP Scott Copeland to minor league contracts. RHP A.J. Griffin was released.
Nationals: Following a day off, three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer (3-1, 1.33 ERA) pitches Friday night at Dodger Stadium against the defending NL champions.
Mets: Begin a 10-game road trip Thursday night that takes them to Atlanta, St. Louis and San Diego. The only big league club still unbeaten on the road this season, New York is 6-0 away from home for the first time in team history. RHP Matt Harvey (0-1, 4.80) starts the opener of a four-game series against the NL East rival Braves.

A start-up company founded by former Microsoft and Amazon engineers is launching a distributed cloud storage service that uses the spare disk drive capacity in the back offices of small and medium-size businesses to create a collective pool of storage shared by all participants.
Symform Inc.'s Cooperative Storage Cloud service is being touted mainly as a technology for resellers, who will pay $US15 a month for unlimited capacity and can then offer it to customers as an off-site disaster recovery backup service.
Customers in the network contribute unused server space equal to the amount they consume in the storage cloud. Symform handles the day-to-day management of network security and administration of the storage cloud. Users can keep using their favorite local backup software and Symform automatically adds off-site storage and disaster recovery to their backup files.
The concept of a distributed and disparate storage cloud is not new. For example, the University of California's OceanStore project was based on the concept that information could be broken down into many parts, assigned a unique metadata identification tag, encrypted and then randomly stored on systems throughout the world. MIT has a similar project, called Chord, in beta.
What is different about Symform's concept is the business model -- using small and midsize companies' spare capacity to keep the costs down -- and the fact that there are no other services offering a disparate, yet cooperative, data storage cloud today.
Symform's vice president of sales and marketing, Kevin Brown, pointed out that a terabyte of storage capacity is relatively cheap today, less than $US100 on average. Backing up data securely, either in an off-site data center or through an off-site hosted-storage service, costs about 20 times more than local direct-attached storage. "While a terabyte is a lot of storage for just about any application, when you go to back it up, it costs you 50 cents or more a gigabyte. That's $US500 a month for a terabyte, and it's a subscription service that never goes away," Brown said.
Symform's business model reduces the cost of backups dramatically, according to Brown, so that a business currently paying $US500 a month to back up a terabyte of data would only pay about $US50. "That's a pretty attractive business model."
According to most IT research firms, businesses only utilize, at most, about 40 per cent of their disk drive capacity. Overallocating storage for applications is common. "A business's Internet service is always on. They have power on usually on 24/7. They pay for the real estate to house this unused storage and have all this excess capacity," Brown said. "At night and weekends, all that capacity is still being paid for."
Seattle-based Symform has 200 resellers as beta customers, according to Brown. The beta customers are mostly IT service providers who sell the capacity as part of their offerings.
Brown believes pricing for unlimited capacity from resellers will likely be in the $US30-to-$US50-per-month range for a server and $US5-to-$US8-per-month for a desktop, but resellers are free to set their own prices.
Mark Crall, CEO of Charlotte Tech Care Team, a managed IT services provider in Charlotte, N.C., said he has been testing Symform's Cooperative Storage Cloud for about two months with a handful of customers.
Crall said he's excited about the concept and architecture of the storage cloud collective because it would enable him to offer his customers a backup solution at a far lower price than the 70 cents he now charges per gigabyte of data he stores on local arrays.
"It's more about filling a gap in the market that's really needed," Crall said. "If we have customers who can't justify the cost of 70 cents a gigabyte for off-site backup, and we can do it in a cost-effective manner, we don't care if we make money off of it. If our customer goes out of business, we go out of business. And if my customers' data is better protected, we win."
While the architecture and business concept behind the Cooperative Storage Cloud is sound -- perhaps even "revolutionary" -- there are still some bugs to be worked out, Crall said. Although he has had success with about half of the customers who are beta-testing the service, he's having a difficult time getting data from others into the cloud.
"We're really excited about the architectural concept of it, but the devil's in the details," Crall said. "But I think those details will work themselves out."
How it works
Symform's cloud storage technology is a basically a software service. Symform installs an appliance (node) on a participating company's site and then creates a contribution folder available to the whole cooperative. Each node monitors the set of folders being used to store disparate data blocks for the cooperative for changes or additions. As files get created or changed, the Symform software moves them in the distributed cloud.
The Symform software uses a RAID 96 scheme for data redundancy. When it takes a file, it breaks it up into 64MB blocks and encrypts it. For every 64MB block, 32 parity fragments are created to ensure the data can be retrieved -- even if dozens of nodes in the cloud are down or offline.
The distributed cloud is managed through Symform servers located on leased space on the campus of Amazon.com Inc. "Our servers manage all access control, permissions and billing, and it knows where all data is worldwide," Brown said.
"If you go to a pot luck dinner, you bring the equivalent of what you'll eat or drink. Same concept," Brown said. "Eventually there will be millions of nodes worldwide, we hope."
Small businesses have their own firewalls to protect them against intrusion, and the node can use any port number the company chooses. "We do not force a static port number," Brown said. The Symform node's IP address and its port number are only known behind the firewall. A network address translation tool manages the public-facing IP address -- and that is all that Symform sees.
"We create HTTP 'puts' and 'gets,' which is the standard practice for Web applications," Brown said. "In short, we do not increase nor decrease the probability for port scanning."
Brown argued that the Symform model is far more secure than a central data center because of the distributed nature of the data. From a reliability standpoint, Symform's software monitors every computer and its uptime in the network. If a node doesn't call home three times in a specified window, Symform's software automatically decommissions the node and redistributes the data fragments to active nodes. When it comes back online, it will be brought back into the cloud.
Symform's Cooperative Storage Cloud works through an appliance that takes specified files on servers or storage arrays, encrypts them using a 256-bit AES algorithm and divides the data into redundant fragments using industry standard Reed-Solomon encoding. All files get mirrored into Symform's storage cloud.
Data fragments are randomly distributed to multiple destination nodes in the network to ensure that no single node holds all the data. The data can be retrieved and restored at any time, and it is sent and retrieved in parallel to maximize the speed of backups and restores, Brown said.
"The redundancy and the randomness of its architecture, to me, makes it secure and reliable in my mind," Crall said.
Symform plans to sell its service to resellers for a flat fee, regardless of how much storage they use for their own clients. Symform is targeting businesses with 100 PCs or less, saying that businesses that have larger infrastructures tend to build out their own storage options.

searching the contents of the pandora archive using Trove
You can do full text searching of the contents of the PANDORA Archive using the National Library's Trove discovery service.
You can search Trove either using the search box that appears on all PANDORA pages (includng this one, see above); or using the Trove Archived Websites (1996 - now) search page.
When using the search box on PANDORA pages you will be taken to the Trove website to view the search results. When you click on a search result you will be returned to the PANDORA website.
The following search options will work using the search box on PANDORA pages or in Trove.
On all PANDORA pages there is a single search box in which you can enter search keywords and phrases. You can simply enter the term(s) or phrase(s) you wish to search for or you can enter search terms or phrases together with search modifiers such as Boolean operators, proximity operators, wildcards and field limits.
Keyword (Boolean) Searching
To search keywords just enter the words you wish to search. The default Boolean operator for keyword searching is AND. You do not need to type this operator as it is the default. So, if you search using the words hide cheek the result will be pages which include both those words. If you wish to use other Boolean operators you need to type them in using capital letters, i.e. OR, NOT
To search for a phrase enclose the phrase in double quotations marks, e.g. “hide and seek” will return pages which include the phrase hide and seek. Note that in this case 'and' does not function as a Boolean operator as it is within a phrase and is in lower case letters.
You can combine phrases with other phrases or keywords using Boolean operators.
To use the proximity operator enclose the search phrase in double quotation marks followed by a tilde (~) and the number of allowed intervening words. For example, e.g. “hide cheek”~2 will return pages with the words hide and cheek in a phrase within two words of each other, such as 'hide and cheek', 'hide and the cheek', 'cheek to hide'.
Wildcard searching includes single character wildcard searching using the question mark symbol (?) and multiple character wildcard searching using the asterisk symbol (*).
The single character wildcard search looks for matching terms with the single character replaced. For example, the search te?t will return matching pages with the words test or tent or text.
The multiple character wildcard search looks for zero or more characters. For example the search test* will return matching pages with the terms test or tests or testing.

To Wait or Wait Not: The Changing Dynamics of Eating Out
In New York City, a growing number of the most popular eateries have decided to eschew reservations, opting instead to test patrons’ patience. Often couched in the cultural parlance of the city’s food scene, the trend is a stark example of the pervasive impact which local technology has on the economics of the restaurant industry.
For restaurant owners, the decision to forgo reservations is mostly economic, says Luke Panza, co-founder of NoWait, a Pittsburgh-based startup that has developed an app to improve the waitlist experience for both restaurants and diners. Reservations present both an organizational challenge and a financial liability: every no-show or late arrival means one less seat filled and few dollars less in the register.
As long a customers are willing to wait, there’s little incentive for restaurant owners to book seats in advance. A first-come-first-serve model effectively passes the cost to the consumer, allowing restaurants to seat tables immediately after a customer leaves and maximize the revenue generated for each table every night.
So why are diners suddenly willing to bear the brunt of an hour-long wait? In part, I believe, it’s because we plan less than we used to. With a cornucopia of local discovery tools a tap away at, it’s simply less efficient to commit to a restaurant ahead of time. Instead of trying to predict what we want or what time we’ll get out of work, we can search and compare restaurants based on our criteria at the moment of purchase.
On-demand economics have already shook up a number of so-called offline, or local, industries. The starkest example is in transportation, where Uber has turned the taxi industry on its head, yielding massive protests and arguably the fastest-growing company in history. But the model has also started to impact more mundane aspects of our day-to-day lives, with investors pouring millions into startups that want to rethink tasks like laundry and home cleaning.
The model draws on ideas of a changing consumer. The way we shop has gone into hyperdrive, with consumers discovering, considering, and buying in one fail swoop. A November 2013 study by Google found that of the consumers who use their mobile device to conduct research, over half want to purchase the product within an hour and another 83% want to buy it before the end of the day. Waiting, as it were, is simply not an option.
That’s why some investors have put their bet on NoWait. Earlier this month, the company raised $10 million from a laundry list of venture investors to expand its system that helps restaurants keep the perks of a first-come-first serve systems while retaining some of the customer experience benefits of reservations.
Like most of these services, NoWait is a two-sided network. A restaurant’s staff uses a mobile app to keep stock of its wait list, marking when new diners are seated and existing customers get up to leave. Then, in a separate mobile app, consumers scan the wait times for participating restaurants and add their names to the list. The app keeps the user updated on the wait time, and if a user misses their chance they’re simply keep in a digital queue — not a physical one.
The wait also presents a new opportunity for complimentary businesses nearby. Panza suggested that the company could eventually build a marketing product into its platform, allowing other complementary businesses to advertise to users as the wait for their turn in line. A cocktail bar, for instance, could advertise to people as they wait for a restaurant nearby. That’s additional spending in a local economy which has traditionally remained tied up while customers were forced to wait in a physical line.
While the cash infusion will surely help, there’s a number of ways the industry could shift to squeeze the younger firm. For instance, the deluge of new point-of-sale companies could build a wait-list feature into their products, and then partner with a consumer-facing company like Yelp to integrate a wait-list feature into their listings product.
But is clear that a waitlist product, of one sort or another, will be part of the emerging hyperlocal ecosystem. These on-demand features have deep implications for the way restaurants — as well as other verticals — manage their business. But they also spell trouble for a company like OpenTable built around a older behavior.

Green's Pleasant Springs Orchard
When we bought our 35 acres in 1977, it looked very different than it does today, consisting of primarily corn, soybeans, and tobacco fields. The soil was worn out and in need of restoration.
We spent a number of years building up the quality of the soil by planting beneficial crops like rye and rapeseed. Like many young farmers, we started growing fruits and vegetables by a trial-and-error process. We quickly realized that we needed additional guidance, turning to the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Agriculture Department as a resource.
Today we continue to work closely with the University, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) consultants, and federal agencies such as the National Resources Conservation Service, to continually improve our land and operations.

Both physics and philosophy are jargon-ridden. So let’s first define some key concepts.
Both “consciousness” and “physical” are contested terms. Accurately if inelegantly, consciousness may be described following Nagel (“What is it like to be a bat?”) as the subjective what-it’s-like-ness of experience. Academic philosophers term such self-intimating “raw feels” “qualia” – whether macro-qualia or micro-qualia. The minimum unit of consciousness (or “psychon”, so to speak) has been variously claimed to be the entire universe, a person, a sub-personal neural network, an individual neuron, or the most basic entities recognised by quantum physics. In The Principles of Psychology (1890), American philosopher and psychologist William James christened these phenomenal simples “primordial mind-dust“. This paper conjectures that (1) our minds consist of ultra-rapidly decohering neuronal superpositions in strict accordance with unmodified quantum physics without the mythical “collapse of the wavefunction”; (2) natural selection has harnessed the properties of these neuronal superpositions so our minds run phenomenally-bound world-simulations; and (3) predicts that with enough ingenuity the non-classical interference signature of these conscious neuronal superpositions will be independently experimentally detectable (see 6 below) to the satisfaction of the most incredulous critic.
The “physical” may be contrasted with the supernatural or the abstract and – by dualists and epiphenomenalists, with the mental. The current absence of any satisfactory “positive” definition of the physical leads many philosophers of science to adopt instead the “via negativa“. Thus some materialists have sought stipulatively to define the physical in terms of an absence of phenomenal experience. Such a priori definitions of the nature of the physical are question-begging.
“Physicalism” is sometimes treated as the formalistic claim that the natural world is exhaustively described by the equations of physics and their solutions. Beyond these structural-relational properties of matter and energy, the term “physicalism” is also often used to make an ontological claim about the intrinsic character of whatever the equations describe. This intrinsic character, or metaphysical essence, is typically assumed to be non-phenomenal. “Strawsonian physicalists” (cf. “Consciousness and Its Place in Nature: Does Physicalism Entail Panpsychism?”) dispute any such assumption. Traditional reductive physicalism proposes that the properties of larger entities are determined by properties of their physical parts. If the wavefunction monism of post-Everett quantum mechanics assumed here is true, then the world does not contain discrete physical parts as understood by classical physics.
“Materialism” is the metaphysical doctrine that the world is made of intrinsically non-phenomenal “stuff”. Materialism and physicalism are often treated as cousins and sometimes as mere stylistic variants – with “physicalism” used as a nod to how bosonic fields, for example, are not matter. “Physicalistic materialism” is the claim that physical reality is fundamentally non-experiential and that the natural world is exhaustively described by the equations of physics and their solutions.
“Panpsychism” is the doctrine that the world’s fundamental physical stuff also has primitive experiential properties. Unlike the physicalistic idealism explored here, panpsychism doesn’t claim that the world’s fundamental physical stuff is experiential.
“Epiphenomenalism” in philosophy of mind is the view that experience is caused by material states or events in the brain but does not itself cause anything; the causal efficacy of mental agency is an illusion.
For our purposes, “idealism” is the ontological claim that reality is fundamentally experiential. This use of the term should be distinguished from Berkeleyan idealism, and more generally, from subjective idealism, i.e. the doctrine that only mental contents exist: reality is mind-dependent. One potential source of confusion of contemporary scientific idealism with traditional philosophical idealism is the use by inferential realists in the theory of perception of the term “world-simulation”. The mind-dependence of one’s phenomenal world-simulation, i.e. the quasi-classical world of one’s everyday experience, does not entail the idealist claim that the mind-independent physical world is intrinsically experiential in nature – a far bolder conjecture that we nonetheless tentatively defend here.
“Physicalistic idealism” is the non-materialist physicalist claim that reality is fundamentally experiential and that the natural world is exhaustively described by the equations of physics and their solutions: more specifically, by the continuous, linear, unitary evolution of the universal wavefunction of post-Everett quantum mechanics. The “decoherence program” in contemporary theoretical physics aims to show in a rigorously quantitative manner how quasi-classicality emerges from the unitary dynamics.
“Monism” is the conjecture that reality consists of a single kind of “stuff” – be it material, experiential, spiritual, or whatever. Wavefunction monism is the view that the universal wavefunction mathematically represents, exhaustively, all there is in the world. Strictly speaking, wavefunction monism shouldn’t be construed as the claim that reality literally consists of a certain function, i.e. a mapping from some mind-wrenchingly immense configuration space to the complex numbers, but rather as the claim that every mathematical property of the wavefunction except the overall phase corresponds to some property of physical world. “Dualism”, the conjecture that reality consists of two kinds of “stuff”, comes in many flavours: naturalistic and theological; interactionist and non-interactionist; property and ontological. In the modern era, most scientifically literate monists have been materialists. But to describe oneself as both a physicalist and a monistic idealist is not the schizophrenic word-salad it sounds at first blush.
“Functionalism” in philosophy of mind is the theory that mental states are constituted solely by their functional role, i.e. by their causal relations to other mental states, perceptual inputs, and behavioural outputs. Functionalism is often associated with the idea of “substrate-neutrality”, sometimes misnamed “substrate-independence”, i.e. minds can be realised in multiple substrates and at multiple levels of abstraction. However, micro-functionalists may dispute substrate-neutrality on the grounds that one or more properties of mind, for example phenomenal binding, functionally implicate the world’s quantum-mechanical bedrock from which the quasi-classical worlds of Everett’s multiverse emerge. Thus this paper will argue that only successive quantum-coherent neuronal superpositions at naively preposterously short time-scales can explain phenomenal binding. Without phenomenal binding, no functionally adaptive classical world-simulations could exist in the first instance.
The “binding problem“(10), also called the “combination problem”, refers to the mystery of how the micro-experiences mediated by supposedly discrete and distributed neuronal edge-detectors, motion-detectors, shape-detectors, colour-detectors (etc) can be “bound” into unitary experiential objects (“local” binding) apprehended by a unitary experiential self (“global” binding). Neuroelectrode studies using awake, verbally competent human subjects confirm that neuronal micro-experiences exist. Classical neuroscience cannot explain how they could ever be phenomenally bound.
“Mereology” is the theory of the relations between part to whole and the relations between part to part within a whole. Scientifically literate humans find it’s natural and convenient to think of particles, macromolecules or neurons as having their own individual wavefunctions by which they can be formally represented. However, the manifest non-classicality of phenomenal binding means that in some contexts we must consider describing the entire mind-brain via a single wavefunction. Organic minds are not simply the “mereological sum” of discrete classical parts. Organic brains are not simply the “mereological sum” of discrete classical neurons.
“Quantum field theory” is the formal, mathematico-physical description of the natural world. The world is made up of the states of quantum fields, conventionally non-experiential in character, that take on discrete values. Physicists use mathematical entities known as “wavefunctions” to represent quantum states. Wavefunctions may be conceived as representing all the possible configurations of a superposed quantum system. Wavefunction(al)s are complex valued functionals on the space of field configurations. Wavefunctions in quantum mechanics are sinusoidal functions with an amplitude (a “measure”) and also a phase. The Schrödinger equation:
describes the time-evolution of a wavefunction. “Coherence” means that the phases of the wavefunction are kept constant between the coherent particles, macromolecules or (hypothetically) neurons, while “decoherence” is the effective loss of ordering of the phase angles between the components of a system in a quantum superposition. Such thermally-induced “dephasing” rapidly leads to the emergence – on a perceptual naive realist story – of classical, i.e. probabilistically additive, behaviour in the central nervous system (“CNS”), and also the illusory appearance of separate, non-interfering organic macromolecules. Hence the discrete, decohered classical neurons of laboratory microscopy and biology textbooks. Unlike classical physics, quantum mechanics deals with superpositions of probability amplitudes rather than of probabilities; hence the interference terms in the probability distribution. Decoherence should be distinguished from dissipation, i.e. the loss of energy from a system – a much slower, classical effect. Phase coherence is a quantum phenomenon with no classical analogue. If quantum theory is universally true, then any physical system such as a molecule, neuron, neuronal network or an entire mind-brain exists partly in all its theoretically allowed states, or configuration of its physical properties, simultaneously in a “quantum superposition“; informally, a “Schrödinger’s cat state”. Each state is formally represented by a complex vector in Hilbert space. Whatever overall state the nervous system is in can be represented as being a superposition of varying amounts of these particular states (“eigenstates”) where the amount that each eigenstate contributes to the overall sum is termed a component. The “Schrödinger equation” is a partial differential equation that describes how the state of a physical system changes with time. The Schrödinger equation acts on the entire probability amplitude, not merely its absolute value. The absolute value of the probability amplitude encodes information about probability densities, so to speak, whereas its phase encodes information about the interference between quantum states. On measurement by an experimenter, the value of the physical quantity in a quantum superposition will naively seem to “collapse” in an irreducibly stochastic manner, with a probability equal to the square of the coefficient of the superposition in the linear combination. If the superposition principle really breaks down in the mind-brain, as traditional Copenhagen positivists still believe, then the central conjecture of this paper is false.
“Mereological nihilism“, also known as “compositional nihilism”, is the philosophical position that objects with proper parts do not exist, whether extended in space or in time. Only basic building blocks (particles, fields, superstrings, branes, information, micro-experiences, quantum superpositions, entangled states, or whatever) without parts exist. Such ontological reductionism is untenable if the mind-brain supports macroscopic quantum coherence in the guise of bound phenomenal states because coherent neuronal superpositions describe individual physical states. Coherent superpositions of neuronal feature-detectors cannot be interpreted as classical ensembles of states. Radical ontological reductionism is even more problematic if post-Everett(11) quantum mechanics is correct: reality is exhaustively described by the time-evolution of one gigantic universal wavefunction. If such “wavefunction monism” is true, then talk of how neuronal superpositions are rapidly “destroyed” is just a linguistic convenience because a looser, heavily-disguised coherence persists within a higher-level Schrödinger equation (or its relativistic generalisation) that subsumes the previously tighter entanglement within a hierarchy of wavefunctions, all ultimately subsumed within the universal wavefunction.
“Direct realism“, also known as “naive realism”, about perception is the pre-scientific view that the mind-brain is directly acquainted with the external world. In contrast, the “world-simulation model”(12) assumed here treats the mind-brain as running a data-driven simulation of gross fitness-relevant patterns in the mind-independent environment. As an inferential realist, the world-simulationist is not committed per se to any kind of idealist ontology, physicalistic or otherwise. However, s/he will understand phenomenal consciousness as broader in scope compared to the traditional perceptual direct realist. The world-simulationist will also be less confident than the direct realist that we have any kind of pre-theoretic conceptual handle on the nature of the “physical” beyond the formalism of theoretical physics – and our own phenomenally-bound physical consciousness.
“Classical worlds” are what perceptual direct realists call the world. Quantum theory suggests that the multiverse exists in an inconceivably vast cosmological superposition. Yet within our individual perceptual world-simulations, familiar macroscopic objects 1) occupy definite positions (the “preferred basis” problem); 2) don’t readily display quantum interference effects; and 3) yield well-defined outcomes when experimentally probed. Cats are either dead or alive, not dead-and-alive. Or as one scientific populariser puts it, “Where Does All the Weirdness Go?” This paper argues that the answer lies under our virtual noses – though independent physical proof will depend on next-generation matter-wave interferometry. Phenomenally-bound classical world-simulations are the mind-dependent signature of the quantum “weirdness”. Without the superposition principle, no phenomenally-bound classical world-simulations could exist – and no minds. In short, we shouldn’t imagine superpositions of live-and-dead cats, but instead think of superpositions of colour-, shape-, edge- and motion-processing neurons. Thanks to natural selection, the content of our waking world-simulations typically appears classical; but the vehicle of the simulation that our minds run is inescapably quantum. If the world were classical it wouldn’t look like anything to anyone.
A “zombie“, sometimes called a “philosophical zombie” or “p-zombie” to avoid confusion with its lumbering Hollywood cousins, is a hypothetical organism that is materially and behaviourally identical to humans and other organic sentients but which isn’t conscious. Philosophers explore the epistemological question of how each of us can know that s/he isn’t surrounded by p-zombies. Yet we face a mystery deeper than the ancient sceptical Problem of Other Minds. If our ordinary understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and energy as described by physics is correct, and if our neurons are effectively decohered classical objects as suggested by standard neuroscience, then we all ought to be zombies. Following David Chalmers, this is called the Hard Problem of consciousness.
– Non-Materialist Physicalism: An experimentally Testable Conjecture by David Pearce
By David Pearce
Intuitively, there shouldn’t be anything to explain. Bizarrely, this doesn’t seem to be the case. One clue to the answer may be our difficulty in rigorously specifying a default state of “nothingness” from which any departure stands in need of an explanation. A dimensionless point? A timeless void? A quantum vacuum? All attempts to specify an alternative reified “nothingness” – an absence of laws, properties, objects, or events – just end up smuggling in something else instead. Specifying anything at all, including the truth-conditions for our sense of “nothingness”, requires information. Information is fundamental in physics. Information is physical. Information, physics tells us, cannot be created or destroyed. Thus wave functions in quantum mechanics don’t really collapse to yield single definite classical outcomes (cf.). Decoherence – the scrambling of phase angles between the components of a quantum superposition – doesn’t literally destroy superpositions. Not even black holes really destroy information. (cf. )
So naturally we may ask: where did information come from in the first place?
Perhaps the answer is that it didn’t. The total information content of reality is necessarily zero: the superposition principle of QM formalises inexistence.
On this story, one timeless logico-physical principle explains everything, including itself. The superposition principle of quantum mechanics formalises an informationless zero ontology – the default condition from which any notional departure would need to be explained. In 2002, Physics World readers voted Young’s double-slit experiment with single electrons as the “most beautiful experiment in physics”. (cf. Wojciech Zurek) The universal validity of the superposition principle in post-Everett QM suggests that the mystery of our existence has a scientific rather than theological explanation.). Richard Feynman liked to remark that all of quantum mechanics can be understood by carefully thinking through the implications of the double-slit experiment. Quite so; only maybe Feynman could have gone further. If Everettian QM (cf. ) is correct, reality consists of a single vast quantum-coherent superposition. Each element in the superposition, each orthogonal relative state, each “world”, is equally real. (cf. ) Most recently, the decoherence program in post-Everett quantum mechanics explains the emergence of quasi-classical branches (“worlds”) like ours from the underlying quantum field-theoretic formalism. (cf.
What does it mean to say that the information content of reality may turn out to be zero? Informally, perhaps consider the (classical) Library of Babel. (cf.) The Library of Babel contains all possible books with all possible words and letters in all possible combinations. The Library of Babel has zero information content. Yet somewhere amid the nonsense lies the complete works of Shakespeare – and you and me. However, the Library of Babel is classical. Withdrawing a book from the Library of Babel yields a single definite classical outcome – thereby creating information. Withdrawing more books creates more information. If we sum two ordinary non-zero probabilities, then we always get a bigger probability. All analogies break down somewhere. Evidently we aren’t literally living in Borges’ Library of Babel.
So instead of the classical Library of Babel, let us tighten the analogy. Imagine the quantum Library of Babel. Just as in standard probability theory, if there are two ways in QM that something can happen, then we get the total amplitude for something by summing the amplitudes for each of the two ways. If we sum two ordinary non-zero probabilities, then we always get a bigger probability. Yet because amplitudes in QM are complex numbers, summing two amplitudes can yield zero. Having two ways to do something in quantum mechanics can make it not happen. Recall again the double-slit experiment. Adding a slit to the apparatus can make particles less likely to arrive somewhere despite there being more ways to get there. Now scale up the double-slit experiment to the whole of reality. The information content of the universal state vector is zero. (cf. Jan-Markus Schwindt, “Nothing happens in the Universe of the Everett Interpretation“).
The quantum Library of Babel has no information.
Caveats? Loose ends? The superposition principle has been experimentally tested only up to the level of fullerenes, though more ambitious experiments are planned (cf. “Physicists propose ‘Schrödinger’s virus’ experiment“). Some scientists still expect the unitary Schrödinger dynamics will need to be supplemented or modified for larger systems – violating the information-less zero ontology that we’re exploring here.
Consciousness? Does the superposition principle break down in our minds? After all, we see live or dead cats, not live-and-dead-cat superpositions. Yet this assumption of classical outcomes – even non-unique classical outcomes – presupposes that we have direct perceptual access to the mind-independent world. Controversially (cf. Max Tegmark, “Why the brain is probably not a quantum computer“), perhaps the existence of our phenomenally-bound classical world-simulations itself depends on ultra-rapid quantum-coherent neuronal superpositions in the CNS. For if the superposition principle really broke down in the mind-brain, as classical neuroscience assumes, then we’d at most be so-called “micro-experiential zombies” – just patterns of discrete, decohered Jamesian neuronal “mind-dust” incapable of phenomenally simulating a live or a dead classical cat. (cf. David Chalmers’ “The Combination Problem for Panpsychism“)
This solution to the phenomenal binding problem awaits experimental falsification with tomorrow’s tools of molecular matter-wave interferometry. (cf. )
What about the countless different values of consciousness? How can an informationless zero ontology possibly explain the teeming diversity of our experience? This is a tough one. Yet just as the conserved constants in physics cancel out to zero, and just as all of mathematics can in principle be derived from the properties of the empty set, perhaps the solutions to the field-theoretic equations of QFT mathematically encode the textures of consciousness. If we had a cosmic analogue of the Rosetta stone, then we’d see that these values inescapably “cancel out” to zero too. Unfortunately, it’s hard to think of any experimental tests for this highly speculative conjecture.
“A theory that explains everything explains nothing”, protests the critic of Everettian QM. To which we may reply, rather tentatively: yes, precisely.
David Pearce is a personal inspiration. He recently had a conversation with Peter Singer, Hilary Greaves and Justin Oakley. I encourage anyone interested in hard core stuff to watch it 🙂
“Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing? Is the unified theory so compelling that it brings about its own existence? Or does it need a creator, and, if so, does he have any other effect on the universe? And who created him?” (Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time, Bantam Books, Toronto, 1988, p.174.)
I’m going to go with “the fire in the equations of physics is consciousness itself.”

ALBANY - Of some opponents, Ronda Rousey speaks in complimentary tones and praises their talent and toughness.
And then there's Bethe Correia, against whom Rousey will defend her UFC women's bantamweight title on Aug. 1 at UFC 190 in Brazil.
"She's made it personal,'' Rousey said Monday in the Capitol after wrapping up the first of a two-day lobbying effort to legalize MMA in New York. "She's definitely gone out of her way to be as insulting to me as possible. I understand from a marketing perspective why she thinks that being in a dispute with me would make her seem more important and get fast-tracked to the title shot.''
Rousey views this fight as personal. Correia (9-0, 3-0) beat two of Rousey's friends -- they call themselves the "four horsewomen of MMA'' -- and then talked tough about it afterward. Correia beat Jessamyn Duke and Shayna Baszler in 2014 and began campaigning for a title fight. (Remaining "horsewoman'' Marina Shafir is not on the UFC roster.)
Correia also said late last year that she'd knock out Rousey in the first round and "do her a favor'' by removing a mole from Rousey's face with her fists.
"Come knocking on the devil's door long enough, and someone's going to answer it,'' Rousey said. "And that's me.''
Angering Rousey, the undefeated champion (11-0, 5-0 UFC) and former Olympic bronze medalist in judo, might not be the best approach.
Rousey won her two most recent fights in 30 seconds -- combined. There's no typo there. No missing number. No misuse of time measurements.
She scored a technical knockout over Alexis Davis in 16 seconds last July at UFC 175. That was one second shy of the UFC record for fastest finish in a title fight. Rousey followed that with a record-setting 14-second submission of Cat Zingano in February at UFC 184. She did that without throwing a single strike.
And they were fighters Rousey complimented in the lead-in to those bouts.
In the case of Miesha Tate, Rousey's biggest rival, the closest thing to them being cordial was that they never scrapped at a news conference before the fight they were selling tickets and pay-per-views to in December 2013. Rousey won that fight by third-round submission. It is the only time, in both her professional and amateur MMA career, Rousey needed more than one round to win.
"If I really dislike the person, I'm more inclined to draw it out, I'm more to want to embarrass the other person,'' Rousey said. "There were a lot of times the second time I fought Miesha where I could have gone into the ground and tried to finish it. I made her stand up because I wanted to fight her more.
"I didn't want her to walk out of the cage the same way she walked in. This might be the same kind of instance with Bethe.''

The healthcare-associated infection (HAI) component of CEIP engages a network of local health jurisdictions, local hospitals, and academic medical center partners to help answer critical questions about emerging HAI threats, advanced infection tracking methods, and antibiotic resistance in the United States. When combined with HAI data gathered by other EIPs, this information will play a key role in shaping future policies and recommendations targeting HAI prevention.

1. Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) surveillance in San Francisco County
A point prevalence survey conducted on a single day at participating healthcare facilities. The primary objectives of the HAI/antimicrobial use prevalence survey effort are to:
- estimate HAI prevalence in a large sample of inpatients in US acute healthcare facilities
- determine the distribution of HAI by pathogen (including antimicrobial-resistant pathogens) and major infection site
- estimate the prevalence and describe the rationale for antimicrobial use in a large sample of inpatients in US acute healthcare facilities.
Phase 1—Conducted at hospitals in one US city (non-EIP site).
Phase 2—The survey was conducted in all 10 EIP states. 2,015 patients admitted to acute care healthcare facilities were surveyed at 22 acute care facilities. Published results.
Phase 3—The survey was conducted in the 10 EIP states. 11,282 patients admitted to acute care healthcare facilities were surveyed at 183 acute care facilities. Published results—Point Prevalence Survey of Antimicrobial Use in U.S. Acute Care Hospitals. Shelley Magill, Laura McAllister, Melinda Neuhauser, et al. Oral Presentation Session 37, abstract 114 presented at: ID Week 2012. 1st Annual Joint Meeting of ISDA, SHEA, HIVMA, and PIDS; 2012 Oct 16-21; San Diego, CA.
Phase 4—The survey will be conducted at all sites in the EIP network. Each EIP site will enroll 25 acute healthcare facilities and conduct surveys in Spring/Summer 2015.
1. NHSN Denominator Simplification Project – [Published March 2013]
An HAI denominator data collection validation and simplification project in selected acute healthcare facilities (hospitals) was conducted at 10 EIP sites. The results of this project will be used to assess the feasibility and accuracy of using a simplified method for ascertaining HAI denominator data for the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) and will be used to determine how to modify current methodology for NHSN denominator data collection. The primary purpose of the project was to evaluate a simplified, less resource-intense method for obtaining device-days data (compared to current manual data collection practices) to determine if sampling methods can successfully be implemented to collect denominator data and can generate estimates of device-days that are acceptable for HAI surveillance purposes. The primary objectives were to:
- retrospectively assess the feasibility of using sampling methods to obtain estimates of central line-days by analyzing existing data on patient-days and device-days data collected from a large number and variety of inpatient units (both ICU and non-ICU) within acute healthcare facilities
- prospectively assess the feasibility of implementing the use of sampling methods to collect patient-days and central line-days denominator data
- validate estimates of central line-days derived from denominator data collected using sampling methodology against data collected using current denominator data collection practices, and to determine if estimates of central line-days and central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates generated are suitable for the purposes of conducting HAI surveillance and reporting data to NHSN
2. Antibiotic Appropriate Use (Pilot)
Pilot assessment to characterize the indications and documentation related to prescribing select antimicrobial agents to patients in short-stay acute care hospitals identified during the 2011 Phase 3 HAI/antimicrobial use prevalence survey. The primary objectives of this pilot are to:
- test the methods of assessing appropriate prescribing for a full scale evaluation at all eligible facilities in 2013
- determine the proportion of inappropriate antimicrobial use
- inform an independent effort by CDC to create freely available antimicrobial use assessment audit tools for healthcare personnel to utilize in practice improvement initiatives at their hospitals
- CDC Healthcare-associated Infections Projects

From: China Daily
More flexible policies could help attract talented foreign staffers
With high-end workers leaving and insufficient high-end foreign personnel, China lags behind the world in attracting an international workforce and urgently needs to take action to solve the problem, a report has found.
Shanghai is the most competitive region in China in attracting high-end international workers. The municipality, however, only rates about 3.9 points in an evaluation index system with six parts, including the scale and structure for international workers and the policies to attract more, and the quality of life they expect.
The full score for each of the six subindexes is 1. So Shanghai just passed the "test", said the report titled Blue Book of Regional Talent, which was published on Monday by the Center for China and Globalization(CCG), a Beijing-based independent think tank, and the Institute of Development Studies at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu, Sichuan province.
The proportion of international workers in China is far below the international average. In 2015, only 0.06 percent of the country’s population were foreigners, while the average worldwide proportion is 3.3 percent, it said, citing various sources from United Nations.
Meanwhile, the country is also troubled by talent outflow. At least 35 million people from the Chinese mainland work overseas.
"Though some of the Chinese emigrants are technical workers, most are well-educated and have bachelor’s or even higher degrees in engineering or science and technology. It’s highly possible that they will settle down in developed countries," the report said.
International employees are unevenly distributed across the country. Shanghai gets the highest score for its proportion of international workers.
"There has been good top-level planning for the introduction of international talents. Lacking, however, are a key administrative authority that oversees the work and necessary legal support for that," said the report, adding that a special government body should be set up to help manage the introduction of foreign workers to the country.
While proposing more flexible immigration and work policies to attract foreign staff, the report also suggests giving green cards to Chinese who became citizens of other nations, promoting that they return to serve their country.
"China has promoted introducing international talents since the reform and opening-up. However, there has been little progress actually over the years. The main reason for that is China’s immigration policy and entry and exit administration were quite strict in the past," said Li Qing, a researcher at the Center for China and Globalization (CCG) and one of the report’s writers.
He said developed and underdeveloped areas in China should resort to different strategies to attract talented workers. The metropolises in East China should create more favorable and tailored working and living environments to attract foreign workers, he said.
Instead of bringing in top employees in various fields, the underdeveloped regions should focus more on those who can support local pillar industries, he said.
International workers are increasingly important as China engages in the Belt and Road Initiative.
"As China carries out the initiative, we cannot do the work well without help of international workers," said Wang Huiyao, president of the Center for China and Globalization (CCG).
Xie Shouguang, director of Social Sciences Academic Press, said China should attach more importance to research on policies as well as giving more attention to bring in international staff. "The research on topics related to top foreign workers is weak in China," he said. (By HOU LIQIANG )

In the third part of our ongoing Industry Insider series, we chat with the creative director of The Room at Hudson’s Bay, Nicholas Mellamphy
FrontRowMag.com spoke with creative director of The Room at The Bay, Nicholas Mellamphy, to decipher what makes this designer enclave tick. The Room’s two-year-old, revamped space was designed by famed architect Yabu Pushelberg, and showcases a healthy roster of unique design talent, making this boutique within a department store a must shop. Mellamphy’s keen style eye has ignited The Room’s reputation, fostering associations with prestige labels and the ladies who can afford them. For fall he predicts wardrobes in rich Bordeaux colours and layering of textures with strong tailoring, fur and lace.
FrontRowMag: As creative director for The Room at The Bay, what does your role encompass? What kind of legacy would you like to leave within fashion?
Nicholas Mellamphy: As creative director of The Room, I work closely with all of the creative teams in The Hudson’s Bay Company to ensure that image and standards are created and maintained in every aspect of our business that pertains to The Room. Visual, events, marketing and advertising—my position also includes buying the advanced designer collections, as well as giving me the opportunity to support young design talent.
FRM: What is the historical significance of the name The Room? How does this name help to denote designer fashion in Canada?
NM: The Room really is one of the most significant retail environments in Canada. The heritage of The Room dates back to the mid-1920s, when it was one of the first outposts in Toronto to sell luxury fashion. It has an established reputation of discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent. Marjorie Steele, who was an icon in Canadian retail, ran “The St. Regis Room” for decades and held the respect of the industry around the world. In less than two years, we have been able to restore that reputation and give Toronto fashion consumers a viable alternative in this market.
FRM: The Room has gained a reputation for throwing some of the best fashion events and exhibits in Toronto. How have these widely publicized launches fostered a new image for The Room and a new standard for fashion events in Toronto?
NM: The popping of a champagne cork heralds many changes. The events are an organic reaction to the partnerships that we have been able to create and foster with our designer partners. The reaction to these events has been extraordinary. We are excited to be able to continue to introduce Canadians to the designers behind the brands that they support, as well as leave them feeling excited and inspired.
FRM: How do you determine if a fashion designer’s collection is in alignment with The Room’s clientele?
NM: Vision. It’s the most important attribute that I look for in a brand or a designer—that and integrity. Look at the success of Mary Katrantzou, her Spring 2011 collection was interiors—the most unlikely print choice for a dress—but it worked and the sense of discovery sitting in the audience of that runway show was intense. It was a real moment. Watching that, you can’t help but have a reaction, and you trust that the clients will feel the same thing.
FRM: Do you see fashion designers as artists? It seems that The Room tries to position fashion designers at the level of artist’s by displaying their designs in a similar way to an art gallery. Was this the intention?
NM: Yabu Pushelberg designed The Room with such grace and sense of ease. We are able to showcase our collections with respect, allowing the designers’ thoughts/visions for the season to be easily understood. I believe that fashion can be elevated to art form—the reaction to the McQueen exhibit at the Met is the perfect example. The act of creating, staying true to a vision and presenting that concept should always be championed.
FRM: The Room carries exclusive designer collections from Roland Mouret, Erdem, Balenciaga and Prozena Schouler, to name a few. What kind of trends can we expect for the upcoming fall season?
NM: Colour. Rich, deep colours. Bordeaux everything! Lots of textures—lace details, fur accents and strong tailoring.
FRM: When The Room is brought up in conversation, what kind of descriptors would you like fashion consumers to have come to mind?
NM: I am constantly told that clients find pieces that are new and different, not typical, and that our choices are exciting and daring. Kate Betts once told me that The Room is how Barneys should be!
FRM: TopShop is coming to the Bay this fall. What will this mean for designer shoppers?
NM: Adding Topshop to The Bay’s portfolio is another step to The Bay being a world class department store. Great fashion for everyone.

Travel Photography Featured photos taken in Afghanistan
It is the first day of Eid al-Adha in Kabul, Afghanistan and traffic congested as families make their way home to slaughter their goat, sheep or even cow to commemorate the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son Ishmael (Isma'il) as an act of obedience to God, before God intervened to provide him with a sheep— to sacrifice instead. This little girl stares from her window seat at me with suspicion, shortly before her mother pulls back her headscarf and gives a reassuring, kind smile of respect.
A young boy cleans the windows of my car while we wait in Kabul traffic. He should be in school, but makes a living on the streets, with a rag and rarely any water to support his entrepreneurship.

A couple days ago one of my dear Yoga Teacher Training friends sent me an email with a link to Artist Jason deCaires Taylor’s website. I have to tell you. I’m in love. Deep, deep love with his work.
It is mesmerizing. Powerful. Incredible. Moving beyond belief.
And it tugs at my heart like real powerful Art work should.
I want to say more, but I’ll stop here and let you experience his work for yourself. When you’re done swooning over the video above–you might want to check out his website HERE.
I say we get a Dirty Footprints Studio field trip together and go check out the Museo Subaquatico de Arte in person……hmmm, maybe I’ll just do that!!!

Q&A with Ms. Cindy Coney - Lupus and Stress
Ask the Experts is a series of educational talks and presentations on a variety of topics designed to provide you with important information about living with lupus. To listen to and download the original presentation, and to see other topics, please visit www.lupus.org/ask.
1. I have had chronic insomnia since being diagnosed with SLE in 2000. How much of role does SLE-related stress play in insomnia and what can be done to help it? Glendale, CA
Insomnia can have many causes, including a side effect of medications. I would first recommend you speak with your doctor about this. We do know, however that stress can play a role in insomnia, even in people not dealing with lupus. The diagnosis of lupus can certainly be stressful. There are many “tips” that I have read throughout my years of living with lupus for insomnia including: decreasing or eliminating caffeine, winding down before bedtime (I read to unwind), not exercising for a few hours before bedtime and making sure that the bedroom is comfortable; dark, quiet and a comfortable temperature. You may also want to find a stress reduction technique that helps you relax. Yoga, meditation, guided visualization, deep breathing and tai chi might all be options. Lastly, I do not know if you currently do or can exercise, but this may also help reduce stress and help you sleep better. Find a form of exercise that you can do and that does not negatively impact your lupus. For me, this is walking. Some days it is only around the block and others it is a few miles, depending on how I am feeling.
2. What can I do if my life is out of balance and I cannot find the balance on my own? Puyallup, WA
There are many things you can do. There are people who “coach” others to help them balance their lives. Just like an athletic coach, this individual would help you identify the areas of your life that are out of balance and then work with you to set personal goals and hold you accountable for achieving them. This can be expensive, so another option is to recruit a friend. You will first need to identify the areas of your life that are out of balance: career, physical health, fun and recreation, financial health, mental/emotional health, spiritual health, community involvement, intimacy/romance or friends/family. Then set a few goals in that area. You will be MUCH more likely to accomplish your goals, if your friend, or a professional is there to hold you accountable. I encourage you to begin by setting small, realistic goals. The more success you have, the more momentum you will have to set more and larger goals. You may start with something as simple as walking around the block 3 times a week, or speaking to 3 people about a new career. Small, realistic and measurable lead to success! Also, many people (especially woman, in my experience) are reluctant to ask for help, or delegate. If you are time pressured, this is the only way you may be able to get a little additional time in your day. Because lupus can cause fatigue, it is important to manage that energy effectively and spend it on things that are important. Prioritizing is also key!
3. How can one deal with stress and not let it get you down or relax and not let it bother you? Flushing, OH & Arcadia, CA
Oh, I wish I had a magic wand to make everyone’s stress go away! Here is one of the ways of dealing with stress that has helped me the most. When something begins to bother you (the earlier in the cycle, the better), go ahead and place your attention on it. Ask yourself, “Is this something I have control over?”. If the answer is yes and there is something concrete you can do, make the change. If you can’t, you must learn to let it go. Ruminating over and over and over again about something we have no control over is very stressful and counter productive.
4. How much stress is too much stress? I get stressed at work daily and usually by the time I get home I'm hurting. Should I be concerned? Norman, OK
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines stress as “a state resulting from a stress;especially: one of bodily or mental tension resulting from factors that tend to alter an existent equilibrium.” Basically, stress is your body’s way of responding to a demand. We each respond differently. An event that causes one person stress, may not bother another person at all. Remember, long, long ago we were all endowed with the flight or fight response, so that we could outrun tigers and lions. Unfortunately, today, our bodies do not know when you are stressed, if you are about to be eaten by a lion for lunch, or just angry at the driver that cut you off on the interstate, so the same chemicals get dumped into our bodies. This is why many diseases are stress-related. Our bodies cannot handle the continuous overload of stress hormones and eventually they take a toll. So, to answer your question, if everyday you are feeling stressed at work and by the time you get home, you are hurting, it certainly sounds like you have too much stress in your life. The two ways to immediately deal with this are to decrease the demands being placed on you, or increase the resources you have available to deal with them.
5. How do I balance stress when you just don’t have that support in a relationship? New York, NY
Unfortunately, it sounds like you are going to need to find ways to balance your life without the support of another person. This means that you will need to find ways to incorporate stress reduction techniques into your personal life. Several are mentioned in the answer to question #1. It is also important, as mention in question #3 to identify the things that you have control over. Ultimately, we do not have control over other people’s decisions, only our own, but we do have control over many, many more decisions in our lives than we usually think. Ask yourself what needs to be changed to reduce your stress, then begin by taking tiny steps in that direction.
6. Since being diagnosed with lupus, my most difficult times with stress occur in the middle of the night. I will feel fine when I go to bed. I will be at peace at that point. But at 2 a.m., I wake up with tremendous stress: I am sweating, thinking about worst-case scenarios with my Lupus, and worrying about everything. What do you suggest? I have been meditating, praying, and reading. That only helps somewhat. Raritan, NJ
Oh, my, I have the exact same problem! I’m including a poem I wrote about this issue and hope that you find a bit of comfort in it:
Return to Now
By Cindy Coney
thoughts like monsters under the bed
that wake you in the night.
Worry about what might happen.
Venturing beyond the edge of now
looking over a chasm of doubt.
A future fogged in
hidden from view,
solace only found in the present.
A deep breath
in then out.
I wish I had a wonderful answer for you. Reading helps me the most.
7. How does a person with Lupus, deal with the stress lupus puts on a family, and not let that cause one stress itself? Bloomington, IN
Lupus will cause stress on a family, no matter how much we wish it were not true. I believe that having open conversations about this between family members is very helpful. It helps to express feelings and concerns out loud and deal with them as a family. It also helps, on your good days to do fun things to offset some of the stress. Planning family events, even a game night, based on your energy helps. Do not feel that you have to be “artificially” strong for your family. This will cause you additional stress and deplete your energy. It is better to share what you are going through (depending on the age of children) than to try to hide it. I’ve found that no matter how hard I try to “hide” what I’m going through, everyone usually knows and is more concerned because I’m hiding it. The unknown is often more frightening than the known. Like you, I worry about the stress on my children and now on my elderly parents, but lupus is a reality that we all must learn to live with.
8. My wife has lived with lupus for 35years. It’s under control pretty well with the medications she’s on. My question is she works a lot of time when she comes home she is so short with me, and I think that working 6 hours or more is not good for her lupus. When I say something like “You are working too much” or “It’s not good for you”, she gets very upset. Can you tell me if her working that much can stress her out? Freemansburg, PA
First, congratulations on 35 years of marriage and for being supportive enough of your wife to write in with a question! There are many, many patients with lupus who do not have this support and would love to. To answer your question, living with lupus is very challenging, as you know. Sometimes, we, as people living with lupus want to be taken care of, other times we want more than anything to retain our independence. I’ve laughed that we should wear signs around our necks-Today I want to be independent and on the flip side- Today I want you to take care of me. That way, family members and spouses would know what we want. So, since there is no sign around your wife’s neck, I’m guessing she wants her independence. The way the statements are written in the question, may feel like you are telling her what to do and it sounds like she doesn’t like that. Perhaps try something along these lines. Her name, I feel bad when I see you coming home from work tired and stressed and I’m concerned about you and your lupus. Would you like to talk about cutting back, so that you feel better? This way, you are expressing your concern and love, while allowing her to keep her independence. Good communication is key to living well together with lupus.
9. The picture of one nerve left is totally me. I am so moody and snippy. How do I get out of this mood? Does the lupus do this? I cannot concentrate on anything, which makes me even more moody. I try to avoid family and friends this is not good. Monroe, MI
Lupus and the medications we take to manage it can do a lot of things, which may include moodiness and an inability to concentrate. So, you’ll find lots of tips in the answers to the questions above, but above all, YOU must find a way that works for you. Often, we look to others to make us happy and this just isn’t possible. We must find that happiness within ourselves first. I can tell you that I have an art room…well, it is actually the tiny laundry room, but it has a formica countertop that I have commandeered for art making! When I feel stressed, overwhelmed, or just downright snippy, I retreat to my art space and make art…collage, jewelry, whatever. This really helps. I suggest you find something that you really like to do and find some time to do it…whatever it is. That is one way that you can lift your own mood a bit. Volunteer somewhere. It is hard to be moody and snippy when you are helping others. You may find that you feel much better afterwards. Do you have a pet? Walking a dog around the block can also brighten your mood. If you love children, go to a park and watch them play and giggle. Who doesn’t feel happy watching children play? You get the picture. You’ve got to get outside of yourself and involved in things that make you smile. Also, when you smile, your body doesn’t know if you are truly happy or not, so you can start by “faking it ‘til you make it”!
10. I live with my girlfriend which I love very much. She has lupus and seems to be getting stressed faster. Right at the moment we are going thru some hard times relationship wise. I guess my question is. Is her stress level ever going to get back under control? She can really get upset at the most simplest of things. I love my girlfriend and would do anything to stay with her. Is there any advice you can give me to help her out? New York, NY
Having a chronic illness is stressful, especially because we never know what the future may hold. Uncertainty can cause stress. Whether or not your girlfriend’s stress level will ever get back under “control” is hard to tell. She’s very lucky that she has someone who cares as much as you do about her. I don’t know how long ago her lupus was diagnosed, but for many people the first few months and years following the diagnosis are the most challenging, because the person is learning to live within new boundaries, while the doctor’s are trying to figure out the best treatments to use. I like to say we are creating a “new normal” for ourselves. This “new normal” life will not look exactly like the old life, but that does not mean that it is bad. It can still be filled with meaningful things and things that make a person happy. It will be important for your girlfriend to find things in her life that bring her happiness and also ways to relax. Managing stress when you have lupus is very important. You can help her by continuing to show her you love her and if possible, talking honestly about the disease. The more you know, the more you can help her.
11. What are some of the symptoms of stress that you know or have experience with so that we might recognize them as the result of stress? Then also some relief options for the symptoms while dealing with the stress? I am experiencing what might be hair loss or thinning which may be due to some increased stress I am experiencing. Is the hair loss a possible result of stress for people with lupus? Louisville, KY
am not a doctor, so the first person I would ask about the hair loss is your physician. That said, I have heard about people’s hair thinning when they are under a lot of stress. Stress can take an amazing toll on the body and lead to all types of symptoms. I’m sure you have heard of people who have stomach issues when they are stressed, headaches, heart disease, depression, skin issues and many other issues. I recently read an article that sited the Center’s for Disease Control and Prevention as saying that “75% of all illnesses that are seen by doctor’s are emotionally stress related.” I know that for me, stress can cause my lupus to flare. As you know, that can cause an entire cascade of symptoms, including hair loss or thinning. The best thing you can do is learn to recognize the triggers of your personal stress, because we are not all alike. What stresses you may not stress me! Once you recognize your personal triggers, see my answer to question #3 about things you do and do not have control over. If you can change it, do so, if not, when your mind starts to go over the event over and over again, remind yourself this is “not helpful”.
Positive self-talk can be an extremely powerful tool to help you manage stress. Letting your mind wander to the future and imagine all of the negative outcomes that are possible…all of the “what ifs” will add a great deal of stress to your life. We must learn to stop that feedback loop. For me, repeating “not helpful, Cindy” is extremely helpful. Find a saying that works for you.
12. I work in the PR department for a global company, so there's a fair amount of stress (and travel) that comes with the job. I love what I do, but I want to be mindful of my new limits. Do I really need to consider a career shift, or are there some more effective stress management tips out there (above yoga/meditation, deep breaths, staying organized, getting plenty of rest, etc.)? Nashville, TN
I, too, have been where you are; loving your job, but finding the stress and physical challenges difficult. I can tell you that for me, when I was in that position, the most important thing I could do for myself was get adequate rest. Sometimes it meant going to sleep very early in the evenings and most weekends it meant sleeping late and often taking naps. For a long time, I was able to run an organization without it taking a toll on my body. I also went for a walk every day after work, which was my transition time to release any stress related issues from my day. I even did this when my children were little by finding a track around a playground where I could watch them and walk! Yoga classes one night a week also helped. After many, many years, I chose to do consulting, so that my time was more my own to manage. This decision has worked well for me, but this is a decision that only you will be able to make for yourself, based on the way you are feeling. I don’t think there are any magic ways to make stress go away, only the tips I’ve offered in these questions, but there are lots of ways that help.
13. How can I make my boss and co-workers understand what I am going through with lupus without looking like I'm complaining? Altus, OK
I get asked this question ALL the time. We desperately want others to understand our disease and what we are going through. Lupus is extremely challenging to understand, especially because we often look fine. It is a mixed blessing! Honestly, I don’t always understand it myself and I’ve lived with it 30 years! I have found that sharing that I have the disease and providing the Lupus Foundation of America’s web address (www.lupus.org) can help. You can also have an outside speaker come in for an educational “lunch and learn” session, so people can learn more and ask questions. There is a need for education about lupus, because many people do not understand what it is, or the symptoms. Anything you can do in your community to further education will benefit both you and others.
14. I find myself withdrawing from my friends and family. Is this normal?
I am not a big fan of the word “normal.” I think a better question might be, “Is this normal for me?”. If the answer is no, which I am guessing it is, then you will want to look more closely at the issue. I am assuming that you are withdrawing due to your lupus. If this is the case, be very, very careful. Social isolation is not healthy and can lead to depression. When we live with a chronic illness, often we do not feel well and the tendency may be to always stay home. Yet, we as human beings are social creatures. We need other people in our lives. Even if you are not feeling well, I encourage you to stay connected to others in any way that you can. It can be as simple as a short phone call, an online “face to face” conversation on Skype, or inviting a close friend to drop by for a cup of coffee or tea. I can’t stress how important these connections are to you and your health.
15. How does one keep from always feeling guilty about being the "needy" one?
It is challenging not to feel guilty when you are the one in need. I think one of the easiest ways to keep from feeling guilty is to do small things that you are healthy enough to do for other people when you can. This giving back will make acceptance of others good deeds a bit easier. Also, those around you often really want to help you, but don’t know how. Doing the small things you need often helps them feel like they are doing something to help in your healing. Guilt is an awful feeling, so the better you can feel about accepting other’s help and the more you can feel that you are giving back, the better you will be.

Serie A club Roma and the Argentina champions league both use Argentine professional athlete Paulo Exequiel Dybala as a striker. “La Joya” Dybala, who went by the moniker, started his professional career in 2011 with Instituto de Córdoba. Paulo Dybala was born on November 15, 1993, and this year on his birthday the chocolate boy of football is turning, 29!

News from Hudson Valley Hospital Center on its upcoming series of farmer’s markets:
Hudson Valley Hospital Center is continuing its healthy eating initiative by hosting a monthly series of farmer’s markets on the hospital campus through November.
The first market will be held on July 31st from 11 AM to 4 PM. The HVHC Farmer’s Market will be held once a month on Tuesdays, 7/31, 8/28, 9/25, 10/30, 11/20 from 11 AM – 4 PM in the parking lot fronting on Crompond Road/Route 202, near the Main Entrance to the hospital. Free parking is available.
The farmer’s market series is an expansion of Hudson Valley Hospital Center’s Seeds for Health, an educational and therapeutic program for cancer patients and their families. Seeds for Health launched in April 2012 with the opening of the Organic Garden for Healing, serving as the classroom for the program which stresses the importance of nutrition in healing and the therapeutic value of gardening in managing stress and reducing anxiety. HVHC’s Organic Garden for Healing is maintained by patients, employees, and members of the community.
The farmer’s market will feature produce grown by local farms, including Bracco Farms, W. Rogowski Farm, Continental Organics, Glynwood Farm, Hemlock Hill Farm, and farm-raised meats from Hilltop Hanover Farm and Environmental Center, and other gourmet items. Staff from HVHC’s Nutrition and Education departments will be on-hand with information to help integrate healthy eating practices into everyday life. Master gardeners from Cornell University Cooperative Extension Westchester County will be available to answer questions about gardening issues.
“By offering this monthly series of farmer’s markets at our hospital we hope to encourage everyone to buy local, fresh produce and educate the community on how to maintain a nutritious, healthy diet” said John C. Federspiel, President of Hudson Valley Hospital Center.
Seeds for Health was inspired by “Think Pink, Live Green,” the brain child of Dr. Marisa Weiss, President and Founder of Breastcancer.org. Think Pink, Live Green stresses the importance of lifestyle changes, including healthier eating, as a way to help prevent breast cancer and improve the health of those already diagnosed with the disease.

The brand-new mid-size 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV is due out in late 2020 as a 2021 layout, and additionally, it seems increasing in dimension. The model is larger than the existing Grand Cherokee. Specifically when it pertains to the wheelbase and also back overhang.
Designing appears to be adhering to a transformative path, with Jeep’s signature 7-slot grille ahead of time as well as also boxy wheel arcs at the flanks. Moving to the back, an independent suspension configuration is clearly noticeable.
As well as likewise, piping for the exhaust looks to have in fact been put well for making the most of the separation angle, which is essential for the Grand Cherokee’s off-road chops.
With no uncertainty, this overhaul will certainly bring a lot of fascinating uniqueness. The brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee 2021 will certainly ride on a new platform and it appears as it will certainly come straight from Italy.
For some time, we have actually been getting reports about just how the next-generation design will certainly ride on the Giorgio platform, the same one that underprints Alfa Romeo Stelvio as well as Giulia models.
It looks this was true, but the brand-new variation of this design will undertake significant alterations. To start with, this model will certainly be considerably bigger than both Alfa Romeo designs.
If your question exactly how the brand-new Grand Cherokee is going to appear like, we will certainly need to disappoint you. Although snooped, the testing model has actually been covered with camouflage completely, so it is difficult to speak about visual appeals now.
Still, our team believes that the new generation will stick to some design service of the outward bound version and that we will see a familiar grille, with several vertical bars. The remainder of the front face will certainly be created in a new manner. We count on narrower headlights, along with on much sportier bumpers.
Likewise, the brand-new version will certainly grow. This is so typical these days, as every mid-size crossover often tends to be a lot more sensible. This design will certainly be no exception, as well as another fascinating thing is that the new generation will certainly be found in two variants.
In terms of wheelbase. The standard model will certainly feature two rows of seats and also will certainly be codenamed WL74. The stretched, three-row version will certainly be codenamed WL75.
The base arrangement comes with a 7-inch touchscreen display and also a Uconnect infomercial. Unseen area screen and also back cross-traffic alert prevail protection features. With the entry-level design, you are also obtaining car parking assist as well as dual-zone climate.
Optionally, you can get a power liftgate, bigger wheels, Android Automobile and additionally Apple CarPlay, or navigating. Naturally, there are larger displays along with costs Harman Kardon sound with more speakers. And likewise a surround system. Aerated lead is likewise optional, in addition to the house heating for the back containers.
2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine
The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee design as we currently claimed will certainly maintain the very same engine arrangement. The base one SUV will be definitely a 3.6-liter V6 engine that will get some outcome increase.
From the information that we obtained, this engine will be a lot more powerful and it will certainly supply more HP than the precursor. The current engine provides an output of 295 horsepower as well as 260 lb-ft of torque.
In addition, both V8 engines for sure staying and also we have to wait to see what will be occurred to the 3.0-liter V6 diesel one. Nonetheless, the exact results of the V8 engines are right currently not offered to the public.
The present Grand Cherokee SRT model includes the 6.4-liter V8 engine under the hood that is able to provide 475 horsepower, while the efficiency design Grand Cherokee Track hawk supplies 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with an incredible result of 707 HP. This version is one of the quicker on the market, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in simply 3,5 sec.
With the brand-new design launched, we can expect some modifications with the V8 engines. Nonetheless, one makes sure that the V6 engine will certainly maintain the exact same rear-wheel drive (2WD) as the common as well as a 4-wheel drive (4WD) as the optional system. The V8 versions are anticipated to be all 4WD.
2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Release Date and Price
Considering that the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee is brand new, it’s challenging to predict prices. It’s a bigger auto on a new platform that may have some new engine options.
All that could skew rates from what we’ve been utilized over the past ten years. All that said, it’s not crazy to expect a minor cost rise over the existing WK2 model’s $33,540 beginning rate.
The most expensive Grand Cherokee is presently the Trackhawk, which starts at a monstrous $86,900. With that big gulf from the entry-level Laredo, where the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee will peak on price is any person’s rate this factor.
The release date of the brand-new generation will certainly occur sometime in the year 2020.

The New York Giants fell to 2-10 on the season following a 24-17 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 13, and 24 hours later, the house cleaning began.
On Monday, the Giants announced that longtime general manager Jerry Reese and second-year head coach Ben McAdoo had been fired. Filling in for them are Kevin Abrams and Steve Spagnuolo respectively, but neither are guaranteed full-time position long-term.
As the circus gets worse in New York, their overall standing remains low. And in the latest USA TODAY power rankings, they are battling only the Cleveland Browns for rock bottom.
With four Pro Bowlers, including OBJ, on IR, a top-five draft pick inbound and perhaps a revitalized Eli Manning, they may not be down long.
Comparatively, the Philadelphia Eagles remain the best of the NFC East teams, checking in at No. 5 overall. Their Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks dropped them four spots from the throne they had perched atop for months. The New England Patriots now once again lead the way.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys rose six spots to No. 18 overall following their victory over the Washington Redskins, who dropped seven spots to No. 20 overall.
The seven-spot fall for the Redskins was the worst in the NFL this week.

Do you struggle with excessive underarm sweat? Are you tired of pit-stained shirts or avoiding certain social events due to your sweating problem? Not only is there a solution, but it may be easier than you think. MiraDry is a one-of-a-kind treatment for excessive underarm sweat, also known as axillary hyperhidrosis. Using the advanced technology of this in-office, non-surgical treatment, we can permanently eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarm region. MiraDry uses microwave energy to destroy unneeded sweat glands as well as a special cooling mechanism to soothe and protect the skin.
If you are considering miraDry, it is understandable to have questions. From what to expect during the procedure itself to what you can anticipate in terms of results, here are some answers to some frequently asked questions about miraDry:
What can I expect during the procedure?
Prior to your treatment, we will apply local anesthesia to numb the underarm area. Most procedures last about an hour, but this will depend on your unique needs and concerns. After the treatment session, you may return to normal activities. Exercise or strenuous physical activity should be avoided for the first few days.
Are there any side effects or recovery symptoms I should be aware of?
After the treatment you may experience soreness, swelling, tingling or numbness in the area. This is only temporary and should dissipate within the following several days. To date, there are no permanent side effects associated with miraDry.
Are the results immediate?
Yes, you should notice a significant reduction in underarm sweat right away. Your sweat glands can’t regrow, so once they are destroyed, you can expect permanent relief from hyperhidrosis.
Don’t I need sweat glands?
While it is true that your body needs sweat glands to properly cool itself, it is not imperative to have the sweat glands in your arm pits. In fact, only 2% of your body’s total sweat glands are found in your underarm.
Is miraDry safe and effective for all skin types?
Yes – the advanced technology of miraDry is color-blind so the type and shade of your skin does not affect the effectiveness of the treatment.
Do I have to sweat excessively in order to qualify for miraDry?
MiraDry can be used for anyone who want to sweat less and “smell” less under their arms. If you have trouble finding a deodorant or antiperspirant to work or last through the day, you may be a candidate for miraDry.

What is Air /Fuel ( Fuel /Air ) Ratio- Rich, lean,stoichiometric Mixture Used For Ic Engine
Internal combustion engines burn fuel to create kinetic energy. The burning of fuel is basically the reaction of fuel with oxygen in the air. The amount of oxygen present in the cylinder is the limiting factor for the amount of fuel that can be burnt. If there’s too much fuel present, not all fuel will be burnt and un-burnt fuel will be pushed out through the exhaust valve.
The carburettor controls the fuel/air mixture on a motorbike, and you often hear ‘lean’ and ‘rich’ being used to describe the fuel/air mixture. Let’s look at what effect this ratio has on the engine.
|Air/Fuel Ratio Formula|
Firstly, there’s a theoretically optimal fuel/air mixture. This is called the stoichiometric mass/volume and it tells you how much air (ie. oxygen) you need to completely burn an amount of fuel. If you have less air than this, the mixture is rich. If you have too much air, the mixture is lean. You can look at it in terms of fuel. Too much fuel gives a rich mixture, too little gives a lean mixture.
15.0:1 = Lean
14.7:1 = Stoichiometric
13.0:1 = Rich
The stoichiometric mass is related to the carbon/hydrogren ratio in your fuel. This makes sense, since each carbon atom needs two oxygen atoms to make CO2, and each hydrogren needs on average half an oxygen atom. So you can presumably just add up the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms and do a bit of maths to work out how many oxygen atoms you’re going to need.
If you have the ‘perfect’ amount of oxygen for your petrol you can expect to get about 45 mega-joules of energy for every kilogram of petrol you’ve got. However, engines aren’t perfectly efficient. For a start, to get the maximum amount of work out of the explosion, you’d have to let the gases expand until they’ve cooled down to the surrounding air temperature (look up Carnot cycles somewhere). In a real engine, the gases only get to expand as long as the piston is moving down. When the exhaust port opens, and the piston moves up to put the exhaust gases out, the gases are still hot. That’s why the exhaust pipe gets hot!
|Relationship Between Air Pollution and Stoichiometric ratio|
A normal engine has an efficiency of about 20-40%, so it only gets 20-40% of the theoretical maximum amount of energy out of each explosion. The rest of the energy goes to warm up the engine coolant, the exhaust and the engine’s surroundings.
All these hot exhaust gases go out of the cylinder, passing by the exhaust value. This makes the exhaust value pretty hot – up to 300 degrees celcius. Because of this, the exhaust value takes more of a hammering than the inlet valve, since the gases passing into the cylinder are at air temperature.
Apparently, for petrol you get stoichiometric combustion (that’s complete combustion) when you have a fuel/air ratio of 1:15 (that’s 15 parts of air to one part of fuel). You can get more power out of your engine by running a richer mixture of 13:1, but you’ll be producing some partly burned fuel leading to smoky exhaust and a gunky engine. You get maximum thermal efficiency (most energy for a given amount of fuel?) when you have a lean mixture such as 17:1.
Let’s look at what happens when the spark plug fires when you’re running a lean mixture. There’s less fuel molecules to go around, so the flame moves across the cylinder more slowly. This leaves more heat in the cylinder walls and cylinder head, which can lead to overheating. If the fuel/air mixture is very lean, then the flame can still be present when the inlet valve opens, which causes backfire!
If you’ve got a compression ratio of 12:1, with an engine speed of 1500rpm the flame will move across the cylinder at something like 15 meters per second.
As the engine speed increases, there’s less time for the mixture to burn completely. An engine running at 1000rpm spends 0.06 secs in each cycle, which drops to 0.006 secs when it’s running at 10,000rpm. One way to combat this drop in available burning time is to fire the spark plug a bit earlier when the engine is running fast – this is called the spark advance. If you increase the spark advance too much, it can cause knocking. However, if the engine is running fast then there’s less time for reactions to occur on front of the flame front, which tends to decrease the chance of knocking.

District 12 - Democrat
Truth be told, I am a transplanted Yankee. Born and raised in “Taxachusetts,” I couldn't get here fast enough. Graduating from TCU in 1972 with a BA and 1973 with a MED, I set out to be a teacher. At that time, however it was not in the cards. I married a New Yorker and worked at various positions in the private sector until 1985 when I finally put my degrees to use and became a teacher of social studies. Over the years I taught government, history and geography in the public school system locally. I became a school counselor in 2003 and remained one until I retired in 2010.
I took two years off between 1968 and 1970 to fight for my country in Vietnam where I received a Bronze Star with a "V" device for heroism in ground combat. I have devoted the past 26 years to public education as teacher, counselor and advocate. I have been a member and leader in the Texas State Teachers Association since 1985, and am currently working part time as a consultant for them.
Jeannie is my wife of 21 years, my second wife, and I have three stepchildren with her, two of whom live and work in Fort Worth.Read More

Is Iran's Ahmadinejad going rogue as his term ends?
Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is challenging attempts to sideline him during the waning months of his presidency as the country braces for another election.
Istanbul, Turkey — Embedded in Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's rhetoric of Iran's soaring greatness and the collapse of the West – typical themes on the Islamic Republic's 34th birthday party – was a renewed political challenge to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and lesser pillars of the regime, as Iran prepares for presidential elections in June.
Four months before the vote, the highest echelons of Iran's Islamic regime are embroiled in political infighting and a power struggle, have taken steps to quell potential dissent, and fear a repeat of the post-election violence that engulfed Iran in 2009 after the last disputed presidential vote.
Analysts say the recent arrest and harassment of journalists and questioning this week of a son and daughters of key opposition leaders, who remain under house arrest, are just some of the signs of deep insecurity and uncertainty now afflicting the regime.
"Everybody expected some kind of loosening and opening up [before the election], but exactly the opposite is happening," says an analyst in Tehran who could not be named for fear of retribution. "It comes from a panicky feeling that things are breaking apart."
"The Islamic Republic has had a lot of elections, every year ... and all of a sudden this became so sensitive," says the analyst. "What is so different about it this time? It is not so clear, [except] that infighting has grown bigger and bigger."
Ahmadinejad, who has served two full terms, cannot run for office again. But his past challenges to Ayatollah Khamenei's authority have prompted key conservative power centers in Iran to gang up against him, painting his inner circle as a dangerous "deviant current."
Khamenei – who intervened to shore up Ahmadinejad's fraud-tainted 2009 reelection by calling his victory a "divine assessment" – has made clear that he wants calm before the vote. He praised the large turnout at weekend anniversary rallies, saying "the people caused the enemy to become disappointed and hopeless through their presence."
The result, Iran's top political authority said, was that the West "reach[ed] the conclusion that this nation cannot be confronted."
But in the run-up to the June election, the bigger risk appears to come from inside. And Ahmadinejad's warnings from the flower-encircled podium seemed designed to sow more political chaos and demonstrate that he remains an unpredictable player. He described the people's "right to pick their rulers" and declared that "no one should think they can decide" in their stead.
"It was heard, some people have said they want to engineer the election," said Ahmadinejad, referring to recent words of an official representative of Khamenei that it was a "duty" of Iran's Revolutionary Guard to "engineer" elections.
"I would say proudly that the great nation of Iran know[s] what to do, they know which path to take, and they don't need any such groups or individuals," Ahmadinejad said, according to a simultaneous translation on state-run PressTV.
"You can notify people about your plans, but destroying other's reputation to prove yourself – this is not the right thing to do," said Ahmadinejad. "The late Imam [Ayatollah Khomeini, father of Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution] said that the nation has become divine, and that no one can impose his opinions on the people."
The Revolutionary Guard quickly backtracked on the "engineer" quote, saying its job is only to ensure a large turnout, not to rig the result. But guardsmen who defected after the 2009 election and crackdown said that they had been ordered to do exactly that back then – ironically to ensure and then secure the declared victory for Ahmadinejad.
In the speech, Ahmadinejad's last and most high-profile platform before the end of his term, he warned "some individuals" that they should "not act or speak in a way" that that will play into the hands of the treacherous enemies of the Iranian nation."
Yet in the eyes of many of Iran's political elite, it is the president who has done just that – for years. Despite Khamenei's calls for unity months ago, Ahmadinejad has repeatedly butted heads with, among others, the Larijani family, one of the most powerful in Iran.
His fight with them erupted again in parliament last week when he played a video recording that appeared to show one Larijani brother, Fazel, peddling influence. Brother Ali Larijani is speaker of Parliament, while Sadegh Larijani is head of the judiciary.
The dispute took on a more overt form on Feb. 10, when, as Ahmadinejad was speaking to crowds in Tehran, his raucous supporters brought to an end a speech by Ali Larijani in the religious center of Qom by throwing clay prayer disks and shoes.
"Ahmadinejad was declaring political war" in his speech, wrote analyst Scott Lucas on his website EAWorldView.
"Ahmadinejad, the man whose reelection was disputed in 2009 by millions amid claims of electoral manipulation and intimidation, had just acknowledged that Iran's elections – the same elections that the Supreme Leader had hailed last month as the free-est in the world – can be rigged," said Mr. Lucas, a professor at the University of Birmingham in the UK.
The events of the revolutionary anniversary are just one facet of many pre-election adjustments.
Arrests in recent weeks of more than a dozen journalists accused of links to Western media organizations signals to other journalists to beware of any outside contact, says the Tehran analyst. The arrests are a "pre-emptive" step by the regime which shows its concerns about outside "conspiracy," and also how carefully it is trying to manage the election process this time.
"Obviously, Ahmadinejad is doing his own thing and disregarding all the advice from higher people to slow down, reach some harmony," says the Tehran analyst. "Rumors have been around that Ahmadinejad will be impeached, that he won't finish his term. I think it's too costly [for the regime] to do that."
The infighting comes as Green Movement activists note on Feb. 15 the two-year anniversary of the house arrest of Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, two former regime heavyweights who challenged their "loss" to Ahmadinejad in 2009.
There were weeks of violent protests in the aftermath of the vote. On one day alone, as many as three million Iranians turned out in the streets of Tehran. Many held placards that read "Where is my vote?"
Months of episodic unrest followed. Though brutally suppressed by the regime, barely a day has passed in the years since that officials have not spoken about "the sedition" – and that it will never be allowed to happen again.
Perhaps inadvertently keeping a spotlight on that event, authorities detained two of Mr. Mousavi's daughters on Feb. 11, and one of Mr. Karroubi's sons, and ransacked their Tehran residences.
"Look at how the system is sensitive about the simplest things," another Karroubi son, Mohammad, told Al-Monitor's Barbara Slavin from London.
He said the interrogations were prompted by an open letter requesting access to their parents, and that in the last four months his father "has not seen the sun or smelled fresh air" except for three hospital visits, escorted by security agents.
"They are so afraid that when [Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi] are back into the society, if they started to talk and criticize the system, the government doesn't have enough confidence to tolerate that," said Mohammad Karroubi.
Therefore the dilemma can be solved only one way, Karroubi's son suggests: "The system has decided to engineer the election and fix the result."

Why 'The Hat' Is The Accessory That Just Keeps On Giving...
When you were little, it felt like your parents spent their whole life trying to get you to wear a hat. Nowadays just leaving the house without one is a struggle. Oh, how the tables have turned. Big, small; wide, narrow; coloured, plain. We don't care. We'll take one of each thanks.
T H E T R A V E L L E R
Planning your transit outfit is one thing, but having the strength to do your hair before your 5am flight is another. Go for a coloured style to distract even further from your dishevelled state.
T H E D A S H
Stay in bed a little longer than you should have? Throw on a brimmed hat, your favourite sunnies, get a coffee in your hand and you'll be ready to face the day before you know it.
T H E S U N S M A R T
The OG and arguably most important reason to wear a hat. Make your mother proud and make sure you slap on that hat when you're out in the sun.
T H E S T A N D O U T
Fashion and function; the ultimate combo. Make a statement in structured head gear.
T H E C O L O U R P O P
Brighten up a neutral outfit or colour match with your print. Try it, we promise you won't go back.

New capture Ben Nugent tells Crewe Alex PlayerHD why the other lads were quick to tell him about derby day.
Crewe Alexandra’s latest summer signing Ben Nugent says he has been told in no uncertain terms by the other players about what our local derby against Port Vale means this weekend.
Nugent, 22, signed a two-year deal on Monday after agreeing a free transfer from Cardiff City and has only trained with his new team-mates over the last couple of days, but the towering centre-half has revealed to Crewe Alex Player that he was quickly informed about the importance of Saturday’s opener at Gresty Road.
Nugent, who has also enjoyed loan spells at Peterborough and Brentford, is hoping to do enough in training this weekend to convince boss Steve Davis that he is worthy of making his debut in our local derby this weekend.
Ben told Crewe Alex PlayerHD: “I am delighted to be here and I cannot wait forth season to start. I am at the point now in my career where I need to be playing regularly. I want to get as many games as I can under my belt and push on.
“It is always difficult going out on loan and then returning to your club. I have been on loan three times with varied success and I didn’t really want to do that again. I am a Crewe player, I have that stability of being a permanent player now and I want to help this club have a good season.
“Everyone at the club has made me feel really welcome and I feel good. I have done the pre-season at Cardiff and feel fit and ready. I want to train well this week and declare myself available for selection for Saturday.
“The lads were quick to tell me about the derby. It is one of first things we spoke about and what it means to the supporters. There is nothing quite like a local derby and to start the season with one gives it an extra edge.
“It should be a great atmosphere and should be really exciting for everyone. I am sure everyone is looking forward to the game and the new season. Hopefully we will give our fans something to cheer about this weekend.”

Even though rival governments have expressed a desire for national reconciliation, elections in Libya are unlikely to take place in 2023
Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, prime minister of the Tripoli-based Libyan government, one of the two rival administrations in the country, vowed on Monday that 2023 will be the year in which Libya will finally unify and hold elections. However, Libya is lacking elements that are key to holding successful elections, which include: national unity, a constitutional basis to form a government and the infrastructure to run fair, credible and legitimate elections.
During the Arab Spring in 2011, the Libyan people ousted and killed the country’s 42-year ruling dictator Moammar Gadhafi. In the wake of his assassination, a deadly civil war erupted among the parties interested in filling the power vacuum Gadhafi left behind. In addition to the many casualties and the economic and social crises, the war resulted in the division of the country and the creation of two parallel governments: the internationally recognized Government of National Unity (GNU) based in Tripoli, and the eastern-based House of Representatives (HoR).
Dbeibah was appointed interim prime minister of the UN-backed GNU in February 2021 to oversee the national elections that had been scheduled to take place at the end of that year, but as yet have not been held.
After the attempt to conduct unified national elections failed to meet the deadline, the HoR, the GNU’s rival government in the east, backed by the Libyan National Army under the command of Khalifa Haftar, called for Dbeibah to step down and named Fathi Bashagha as interim prime minister until national elections are held. That means that the country continues to be fragmented by two parallel and rival governments, one in the east, and one in the west.
Last week, Haftar said there was one “final opportunity” to come up with a road map to hold elections in Libya in 2023.
However, the likelihood that elections will take place in 2023 has decreased, according to Valeria Scuto, a Middle East and North Africa intelligence analyst at the London-based risk consultancy firm Sibylline Ltd.
Scuto told The Media Line that a preparatory forum for national reconciliation will take place January 8-12, ahead of the official conference set for this March. This process, she explained, aims to bring the parties to binding political and executive decisions, set to improve the outlook of the political and security environment leading to elections.
However, she added that the dynamics in the country during the last year have worsened the chances of national unity. “Political manipulation and institutional polarization have significantly increased among competing factions in the country over the past year, elevating the risks of a continued political stalemate,” she said.
Andrew Cheatham, a senior expert at the United States Institute of Peace, told The Media Line that in order to hold fair, credible and legitimate elections that are free of violence, there are three key issues that must be resolved.
One is to achieve national unity. “They must move forward on the agenda for reconciliation,” he said. “In order for these elections to go forth without violence and without triggering more violence during the cycle, and to be credible and successful, there must be more efforts put forward to achieve national reconciliation between communities.”
Many different international actors as well as Libyans themselves want to tackle these very deep intra-Libyan issues that have emerged in the several cycles of war that they have lived through since 2011, he explained.
The second issue, according to Cheatham, is the need to reach an agreement on a constitutional basis to form a government and an electoral law to be the foundation for these new elections, which was not reached before the scheduled December 2021 elections, he said.
The final and probably one of the most undermined issues, according to Cheatham, is logistics. He says that the technical aspects of elections – including voting machines, adequate personnel in each district, having public affairs and civil society independent monitors – are lacking in Libya.
“All of the very costly technical aspects must be put in place, and I don’t think that they’re at that place right now, technically and institutionally,” he added.
He notes that the problem is not about the money since Libya trades oil and gas and earns significant revenues from that. “They have the money for elections, but they do not have the capability institutionally to run their elections yet,” he said.
Cheatham believes that the international community, which has been so enthusiastic in pushing for nationwide elections in Libya, is not well aware of this problem. “I don’t know if they [the international community] know the scale of the effort that is required,” he said.
Scuto says that the international efforts have not been sufficient to help the country hold elections and instead Libya has become an international battlefield.
“While the United Nations Support Mission in Libya has continued to engage in dialogue with international partners to revive the electoral track with Libyan and international stakeholders, efforts have produced overall limited results,” she said.
Libya, she added, “has become a direct proxy theater for foreign actors including France, Italy, the UAE, Egypt and, in particular, Turkey and Russia.”
Cheatham believes that both the international community and the actors in Libya that want elections should focus first on the how rather than the who.
“How are they actually going to conduct elections peacefully, credibly and successfully? I think it is a more important question that needs to be addressed,” he said, referring to the need to create an institutional legal basis for the elections, and the actual infrastructure and support to the high national election commission.

Marissa Meyer the author of Cinder and Scarlet from the Lunar Chronicles, one of my very favorite series, is here on the blog today. In the Lunar Chronicles Marissa melds a classic fairy tale with a futuristic world. The second book in the series, Scarlet released last month (February 5th).
Hi Marissa, thank you for answering my questions.
Thank you for having me!
What encouraged your interest in fairy tales and old myths?
It probably started when I was taken to see “The Little Mermaid” in theaters when I was five years old. I absolutely loved it! Not too long after that, I was given a little book of fairy tales. The first story in that book was “The Little Mermaid” by Hans Christian Andersen, which I read eagerly, only to discover it was nothing at all like the movie! It’s an incredibly sad and tragic tale, and my little five-year-old heart was devastated. But it also started this fascination with all things fairy tales and this idea that Disney was hiding something from us. I wanted to learn more and more about the lesser-known tales, and that curiosity continues to this day.
What inspired you to place the settings of Cinder and Scarlet in New Beijing and France?
I chose China for Cinder because many scholars believe the original Cinderella story comes to us from 9th-century China and that first story, called “Ye Xian,” eventually made its way to Europe through some of the trade routes. Also, there’s a theory that the idea of the slipper fitting the smallest foot was a direct result of the Chinese tradition of foot binding. So I chose that setting for my futuristic retelling as a means of paying homage to that original tale.
When trying to choose a setting for Scarlet, I wanted a place that had a history of werewolves and werewolf stories—although the people in my futuristic world aren’t superstitious about such monsters, I liked the idea of a very old fear being replaced by a new, very real fear. So when I saw a documentary about a series of killings that happened in 18th-century France, and at the time were believed to be the act of a real werewolf, I felt that worked perfectly for a way to tie the mythology together with my own werewolf-like characters.
The Lunar Chronicles will be four books total, Cress and Winter being the last two. Can you give us details of each?
The books are being released a year apart, so Cress will be out early 2014 and Winter in early 2015. Cress is based on Rapunzel, but instead of being stuck in a tower, Cress is a computer hacker stuck in a satellite orbiting Earth, being forced to spy on the Earthen leaders for Queen Levana. Winter is based on Snow White, and Princess Winter is Queen Levana’s stepdaughter. But Winter, not wanting to be like the cruel queen, has made the decision to never use her glamour—which means her sanity is slowly dissolving.
At the Scarlet signing event I attended when asked how the title Cress corresponds to Rapunzel you said that Rapunzel and Cress are both types of lettuce but you didn’t have time to elaborate…can you now?
Cress I took from “watercress,” and yes, rapunzel and watercress are both types of lettuce. The story of Rapunzel begins when a poor man’s pregnant wife is having mad pregnancy cravings for rapunzel, but it only grows in the witch’s garden. The husband sneaks into the garden to steal some but the witch catches him and they strike a deal—he can have the rapunzel for his wife, but he must give her the child when she’s born. So when he has a little baby girl, he gives her to the witch and the witch names her Rapunzel after the lettuce she was traded for.
For my giveaway for Scarlet on the blog, I asked people to share which fairy tale they would love to see take place in the future. People submitted great suggestions; the two most common were Beauty and the Beast and Peter Pan. I can totally see the Beast being one of Queen Levana’s army. I was curious have you ever added other fairy tale characters in as side characters?
I love the story of Beauty and the Beast and actually feel that Scarlet shares a lot of similarities with that tale (in addition to Little Red Riding Hood, naturally). It’s a great archetype! I’ve also heard from readers who feel that Cinder makes use of some elements of Pinocchio, too. In my original plans for the series, I’d wanted to use “Puss in Boots,” and had planned for it to be the fifth and final book of the Chronicles. But as I began figuring out how to tie all the tales together, that story no longer fit with where I was taking the series, so I eventually had to cut it. I think there might still be a mention of a “robotic talking cat” somewhere in the books though…
Do you have any plans for novellas, possibly one from Queen Levana’s POV?
Actually—yes! I would love to one day tell Levana’s story, how she became queen and why she’s so vain and wicked. There are no official plans for writing it, but I hope it’ll happen someday.
When writing a villain like Levana do you find aspects of her you like even though she’s evil?
Absolutely. Because I know Levana’s history, I actually have a great deal of sympathy for her. All of her cruelty and ambition really stems from a desire to be loved and accepted by people who never did love or accept her, and eventually she was driven to control people the way she does in order to get that sort of companionship. It’s a tragic story.
If you could pick to be any one of your characters which would you choose? Why?
Probably Cress. I have a strange envy for Rapunzel characters in general. I sometimes daydream about being stuck in a tower (or satellite!) with nothing but my laptop and an enormous stack of books. Oh, all the reading time!
Is there a book you wish you had written or character you created?
I adore the Gallagher Girls books by Ally Carter. I’m a sucker for spy stories like James Bond and Jason Bourne and I wish I’d had the idea for write about a school for spies first. But I’m glad she’s written them so I can read and enjoy them!
You’ve said that you are inspired by the show Firefly by Joss Whedon; who is your favorite character in the series?
Argh, I really couldn’t choose! That’s the great thing about Firefly—all of the characters are phenomenal. They’re each unique and three-dimensional, with their own strengths and weaknesses, motivations and flaws. I love them all, and I really love how they interact with each other throughout the series. I hope people will say the same thing about my crew of misfits as the series goes on.
I’ve got to give a shout out to Firefly—it’s one of the best shows ever created! It has the feel of the old animes Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star to me.
Cheers to that! I loved both those animes too. <3
If you’re not eager for the next installment of the Lunar Chronicles (even after reading that the next character is based on Rapunzel) here’s a teaser for CRESS:
She bit her tongue against a reminder of all she’d done for Her Majesty during her imprisonment. Designing countless spy systems for keeping watch on the Earthen Union and its leaders, jamming satellite signals so that countless soldiers and operatives could slip down to Earth undetected… it made no difference. Sybil cared only about Cress’s failures, and not finding Linh Cinder was Cress’s biggest failure to date.

Sales meetings are an opportunity for team building and networking, as well as skill development. Introducing fun games to morning sales meetings will heighten engagement and heighten that sense of team work. Shake it up and introduce different games at different meetings. Members of the sales team can also take on the task of planning meetings with members from other parts of the organization they may not work closely with daily.
Tell your sales reps to bring sneakers and wear something other than a favorite suit such as track pants and a T-shirt. Get physical with a hula hoop or jump rope contest or old-fashioned games such as a three-legged race. Award points and prizes for performance, spirit and participation. Physical fitness energizes and refreshes; wake up the motivation of your sales teams with an adrenaline rush. This is also an ideal way of encouraging healthy living among your sales team. Expand on this idea with a full day of physical fitness challenges and teams assigned from different sales departments.
Guess the Coffee
Ask a local coffee connoisseur to lead a morning coffee tasting. Let your sales reps sample different blends of coffee from different regions of the world. Staff members have to guess, blindfolded, where the coffee originated from and if it is a dark, light or medium roast. You can also have a tea-tasting event, with different kinds of teas, or an exotic fruit-tasting game. Provide like-themed prizes, such as a basket of gourmet coffee and tea or a exotic fruit-of-the-month club subscription, with this set of games.
Comedic Presentations on the Everyday
A sales meeting is also an opportunity for sprucing up core sales skills, such as presentation skills. Bring an assortment of everyday goods, such as pens and pencils, coffee mugs and laptop cords in a basket into the meeting. Assign each participant a good and ask him to make up a three jokes or fun facts about the particular good. Let members of the team vote on a winner and award prizes such as extended lunch or coffee breaks or corporate sweaters and coffee mugs.
Sales Mad Libs and Giant Scrabble Game
Make up a mad libs game and have your staff add words related to your products and services or add words that relate to your industry. This game takes about an hour with a small to mid-size sales team. If you have more time, consider having a giant Scrabble game displayed on a projection board and playing corporate Scrabble is another idea. Implement a rule that all words must relate to company values, products or services.

“If you wish for light, be ready to receive light.” Rumi
As the season of gift-giving fast approaches, I’ve been thinking about the gifts I’ve received this year – images graciously given to me by my trusty old camera.
I’ve been interested in the practice of contemplative photography for a while now, and through it, continue to discover new and surprising things about this craft. A few years ago I came across The Little Book of Contemplative Photography by Howard Zehr, a book I have come back to again and again, not only because it is a quick and easy read, but because of the wisdom contained in its pages.
There is a particular chapter in this book that continually challenges me and makes me rethink my approach to photography. In this chapter, Zehr discusses the language and metaphors of photography and how aggressive and predatory they are. History shows that photography was once considered a gentle and respectful art, but its image as an art form became much more aggressive when small handheld cameras were introduced in the 1880s. It was around this time that people started going on photo shoots, carrying their arsenal of equipment, aiming their camera, taking their pictures and capturing their subject…metaphors that gradually became deeply embedded in our culture and consciousness. Before long, advertisers were marketing camera products that would ‘shoot to kill’ and camera store services that would ‘blow you away’. We began to use telephoto lenses and, more recently, smart phones to covertly photograph people. This shift, where the act of photographing became something of a hunt, has had a massive impact on the way we practise photography today.
When I first read about this idea, I’d been learning photography for a couple of years, so naturally I began to consider this in relation to my work and my process. I’d certainly been striving to ‘capture’ my children with my camera and getting frustrated when I didn’t get what I wanted or when I got something ‘wrong’. This put me in the position of taker, not receiver, and of triumphant predator when I did get something ‘good’.
But, the reality is, as Zehr quite simply points out, that when we photograph, we do not actually reach out and take anything. Light is reflected off our subject and enters through our camera’s lens, projecting a picture. So, essentially, the image is being received, not taken. And for me, here lay a secret to experiencing photography in a new and more profound way: I could open myself up to receiving images; I could change my perspective so that I no longer viewed images as trophies, but as gifts.
So where did this leave planning a conceptual photo session or the discipline of hunting out and capturing an image? Exactly where they belong, in their perfect time and place. Because whatever the situation, as we stand behind our camera we have an opportunity to experience new possibilities. We can do that by recognising that there is so much more to photography than our skill and our equipment – or, as Zehr so aptly puts it, we can shift our perspective so that we approach our art making with ‘wonder, respect and humility’. In other words, instead of seeing photography as a conquest, we can see it as contemplation; instead of seeing it as an exposé, we can see it as a revelation; instead of being concerned with control, we can embrace surprise.
No doubt, we’ve all experienced photographic surprises – sometimes by sheer accident (like when we unintentionally press the shutter) or sometimes simply because an image was unexpected (like when we think we didn’t ‘get’ anything good, but are later surprised to find that we did). But what interests me most is not this lack of control; rather, this concept of awe and humility, as a mindset and approach towards art making in general. By visualising myself receiving rather than taking images, I have been continually taken aback by what light has revealed inside my camera. I’ve relaxed. I’ve opened myself up to mystery. I’ve not always been given what I wanted, but what needed to be expressed was expressed in a new and surprising way. This surrender has become a very sweet part of my practice. Because it’s not only the unexpected images that are gifts – they are all gifts.
Of course, this change in attitude is easier said than done. Ironically, it takes a form of conscious effort to remember to let go, and even now, though I’ve intellectually understood the concept, I sometimes fall back into rigid ways of thinking. But whatever happens, the intention is set: to place myself in a position of receptivity and be surprised by what’s out there. As Jay Maisel once said, ‘The pictures are everywhere. If you’re open, they will find you.’ I try to be aware but not anxious because, at the end of the day, I am just a tiny part of the equation. There is something bigger, more magical and mysterious that takes place when my hands get a hold of the camera – something I can’t actually control.
I was recently amazed to discover that one of my favourite photographers, Sally Mann, had made references to this mystery and magic, and that she herself viewed photography as a humble act of receiving. In Immediate Family, she wrote, ‘At times, it is difficult to say exactly who makes the pictures. Some are gifts to me from my children: gifts that come in a moment as fleeting as the touch of an angel’s wing. I pray for that angel to come to us when I set the camera up, knowing that there is not one good picture in five hot acres. We put ourselves into a state of grace we hope is deserving of reward, and it is a state of grace with the Angel of Chance.’
And so, as the year draws to a close and a new one begins…whether you are a street photographer or a still life photographer, whether you photograph landscapes or your own family, and no matter what camera you use…there are gifts waiting for you. Be open to receiving them, and they will find you.

This week, The Simple Dollar is running a short series on some of the key moments in my financial turnaround and how you can experience those moments as well. For a full description of this, see the first article in the series.
Even after making the physical credit cards difficult to access, I was still left with another problem: Amazon One-Click ordering.
Although it was now really difficult for me to visit the bookstore and spend with reckless abandon, I could still just browse around Amazon, see a book that I wanted, and within two mouse clicks, find that book on its way to my doorstep. The same was true for a few other online retailers that would fill me with temptation. I also had a PayPal account with the username and password stored as a cookie on my computer so that if I visited a retailer with PayPal accepted as a payment, I’d just click twice and the item would be on its way.
Again, it’s vital that I make some sort of simple move to add to the wait time between the impulse to buy something and actually ordering it, so that I have time to more carefully consider the purchase.
The solution is simple: disrupt that easy transaction.
Minimize Electronic Temptations
This is really a two-step process, but neither one should take you more than a minute at most.
First, go to the website of any online retailers where your credit card information is stored and delete that information. For many of you, this might mean just Amazon.com, so it’ll take you just ten or fifteen seconds to do it.
Why do this? If Amazon (or another retailer) does not have your credit card information, the process of ordering an item from them becomes much more difficult. You have to actually pull out your credit card and enter the information manually before you can make a purchase, and since such retailers are selling almost entirely inessential products, that’s usually more than enough time to talk yourself out of unnecessary expenditures.
Second, use the password management tool on your web browser to delete the passwords of your most tempting online retailers. With Firefox, it’s simple – just go to Tools, then Options, then Security, then Saved Passwords to manage the list. With Internet Explorer, just go to Tools, then Internet Options, then General, then Browsing History: Delete… to remove them. Chrome, Opera, and other browsers have similar tools.
Why do this? It puts up another subtle obstacle against easy online purchasing. It forces another delay between the impulse you have to make a nonessential purchase and the actual purchase, giving you more time to reflect and make the best long-term decision for you and your family.
Simply put, the purpose of this activity and of the previous two activities is to strip yourself of the convenience of impulse buying. The harder it is to buy impulsively, the more aware you’ll become of how often you actually do it – and it’s more often than people think. You’ll also start spending less, of course.
There’s a further effect, though, one that took me a long time to realize but which is very, very important. If you get used to applying forethought to your impulsive purchases, eventually you begin to apply that same forethought to all purchases. You start thinking carefully about your electric bill instead of just paying it without thought, which leads to finding methods to cut energy use. You start thinking carefully about your food bill instead of just wandering through the store and grabbing whatever you see, leading to grocery lists and meal plans.
Every one of those steps is a money saver, and on the whole, they add up to a lot of saved money. Underlying all of it is mindfulness, and these kinds of little steps increase your mindfulness when it comes to spending.

"Nihongo Oshaberi Time" is designed for people who have been studying Japanese but have little opportunity to practice with Japanese people. Also, people who are just interested in learning about Japanese culture and customs are welcome as well. This is a good opportunity for you to meet new people and make new friends.
You don't have to be fluent in Japanese at all, as there will always be bilingual people available to help you express your thoughts in Japanese.
We serve tea, coffee and some sweets during the meeting. If you have children, they are welcome to come as well. For further information, please contact Ms. Taniguchi or Ms. Miyanuma at 52-6789.
The International Women's Network (IWN) is a group of women who enjoy chatting with people from all over the world. We hold a monthly potluck dinner where we exchange information about the local community while eating a variety of foods. No reservation is needed to attend the potluck. Just bring one dish of food and show up at the meeting. Newcomers are always welcome! Take advantage of this unique opportunity to enjoy the international city of Tsukuba with us!

Diwali, the biggest Hindu holiday of the year, is coming up on Saturday–it’s celebrated with the making, giving, and eating of sweets, or mithai. If you’ve stopped into a mithai shop, you’ve seen an array of the psychedelically multicolored sweets–burfis, laddos, chum chums, and jalebi. Most are made with some combination of boiled-down milk, nuts, and/or ghee. Pedas are smallish, flat disks, made with reduced milk and sometimes flavored with saffron (kesar). They’re given out at any happy occasion–weddings, births, parties–and are often eaten for Diwali.
Making pedas is actually very simple, and the mildly sweet, aromatic treats are delicious with a cup of tea. Click through for the recipe.
This is what the mixture will look like when it has about five minutes left to cook.
Yield: About 30 peda
Crushed pistachios are the traditional garnish, but slivered almonds also work well.
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads, crumbled between your fingers
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups non-fat dry milk
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
crushed or slivered nuts, for garnish
In a small bowl, combine the saffron and the milk and set aside to steep for 30 minutes. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and cream, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, and stir in the dry milk and ricotta cheese. Cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in the milk with the saffron. Lower the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring, until the mixture has thickened considerably, into a kind of wet paste, and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Depending on your stove and pan, this may take anywhere from 15 minutes to 40 minutes. (In any case, continue to stir to ensure the mixture does not burn.)
Pour mixture out into a bowl, and allow to cool for about 1 hour. When firm and cool, roll small portions of the mixture between your hands to create 1-inch diameter rounded patties. Press some nuts into the center of each peda with your thumb. Serve at room temperature.

Nanny Trippe has had a love for photography since a young age. What began as recording of pets and nature developed into a love of composition. “When composition, light and shadow, color and texture come into balance, it is an exciting thing. I love to spot something-be it a building, a tree or a moment in time that encompasses all these elements. “
Trippe has studied and created photographs through high school at St. Timothy’s School in Baltimore, college at Denison University in Ohio and Richmond College in London, England. She joined the Tidewater Studios in 2009 and has exhibited in Lexington, Virginia as well as local art shows. In December 2010, she and painter Don Hilderbrandt opened Trippe-Hilderbrandt Studios on Harrison Street in Easton. Her photo #2 Door won the Best Black and White, Best Amateur and Best in Show in the 2009 Plein Air Easton Photography Contest and is published in the “Best of Photography 2010” by Photographer’s Forum Magazine. Subsequent photographs have been published in “Best of Photography 2011” and each successive year to date. In 2013 her image “Available Seating” won the Tidewater Camera Club Award for Excellence in Photography at the Academy Art Museum Annual Member Show. In 2014-2015 she has been juried into 3 shows at The Maryland Federation of Art. In December 2016, her exhibit "Trees:Majesty and Mystery" opened at the Art Academy in Easton, Maryland in the Selections Gallery. She is a many generations native of the Eastern Shore and has a true love for the area and capturing its uniqueness.

The controversial iPlayer, which we covered back in July, has only recently added Firefox support. Built by the BBC to allow users to catch up with programs from the past seven days, the iPlayer was released only last year. It works with all BBC channels and programs.
The immediate criticism launched out at the program was it’s lack of support for the open source community, with Linux users spearheading the protests. Back in July, an e-petition with more than 11,000 signatures was passed around in the hopes that it would pressure the BBC into releasing a Linux version of the iPlayer. To calm the debate down, the BBC assured users that it would at least release a Mac version of the iPlayer in Autumn. However, we’re now in February and there are still no signs of a downloadable iPlayer for Mac or Linux. The help page of the iPlayer website still says, “We are aware of demand to expand this to other operating systems, please check at a later date for any further news.” However users should note that streaming itself works for PC, Mac and Linux as the player is based on Flash, which all three systems support.
Firefox support for the iPlayer is a positive move towards the open source community. As Anthony Rose, head of iPlayer development since September, says, “It’s good because it’s the first real non-Microsoft thing we’ve been able to do with the download iPlayer.” Hopefully it won’t be the last if the BBC wants to reach as many users as possible.

What they wanted
BeLonGTo wanted to review, improve and standardize their procedures for accrediting youth services and other organisations doing LGBT work. They had an existing supporting resource for services, and accreditation process. They felt that as the number of organisations supporting LGBT youth grew, so too did the need to ensure the support they were providing to them was as good as it could be.
What we did
We undertook consultations with staff, young people and other stakeholders to get an understanding of what aspects of the support was helpful, what was missing, what ‘quality’ means for LGBT youth services. With this information, and a review of good practice in this area, we developed a research report and a number of recommendations for developing the quality standards, to ensure that it appropriately reflects the expertise and experience of BeLonGTo that other youth services can learn from.

Each and every wedding I photograph causes me to revisit the memories of my own wedding. They're as light as air, filled with emotions that can hardly be put into words. I've come to understand that the most profound memories are often the finespun everyday things of life.
As years pass, memories become exquisitely bittersweet. I believe classic, timeless imagery best captures the fleeting aspect of a wedding day. With each couple I work with I hope to influence an authentic photo narrative that reveals the beauty and subtle uniqueness of their wedding.

Whole Foods recalls croissants over undeclared egg
Associated Press | April 18, 2014 | Updated: April 18, 2014 10:57pm
AUSTIN — Whole Foods Markets is recalling mini butter croissants sold in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana because they contain eggs, an undeclared allergen.
The recalled item is sold with a Whole Foods market scale label reading "mini butter croissants" in six-pack plastic containers with a "Best by" date of April 21 through April 23. It also has a uniform product code of 2 28719-00499-1 on the scale label.
A company statement says the issue arose after one illness was reported. That's the only illness reported so far, but people with an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the pastry.
Austin-based Whole Foods Markets' Southwest Region distributed the pastry to 26 stores in four states.

I have a small problem in one method's return value.
Although I manage to get the correct author and title when looking at author and title variable content the method only returns the reference to the linkedlist, just gibberish... If anyone can point out how to fix this it will be greatly appreciated.
i assume you try to do print to the console a Song object.
when printing to th console using System.out.print for example, you use the toString method of the class.
so you will have to override the toString method of your song class (which inherited from the Object class).
just add this method to your Song class.
or whatever you choose.
i assumed you have getAuthor and getTitle methods to return the author name and title in the song class.
Hope it helped

Who is Takeda Shingen?
He was born in 1521 to a peasant family who lived near the city of Nagoya. Takeda Shingen was a Samurai who lived from 1521 to 1573. He was from Kai province and he eventually became the head of the Takeda clan. His father died when he was a little kid and he had to grow up quickly.
After his father died when he was three years old. When his mother remarried, Yoshimoto became an adopted child to his uncle. His uncle taught him swordsmanship and then arranged for him to become a servant of the Imagawa clan at age 13.
As an adult, he became a great commander and a strategic thinker, which helped him to conquer many areas in Japan.
Takeda Shingen is considered one of the greatest samurai generals in history. His life story is full of victories and accomplishments that made him famous as an admirable warrior.
How Did the Battle of Kawanakajima Lead to His Rise in Power?
The Battle of Kawanakajima took place on September 20, 1561. This battle is also known as the “dirtiest” battle of the Sengoku period. The battle took place in a valley between two opposing armies for 18 days. The Battle of Kawanakajima was fought because Takeda Shingen wanted to take control of Shinano province. He wanted this territory because it was rich in resources and would help them be more prosperous.
Yoshimoto was a samurai warrior, politician, and one of the most famous generals in Japanese history.
He made rapid progress through the ranks of the Imagawa clan’s army and was soon appointed as commander-in-chief of its forces. He led two invasions against Oda Nobunaga, but both were defeated with heavy losses for Imagawa clan forces.
Takeda Shingen’s Legendary Warfare Tactics
Takeda Shingen was a Japanese daimyo who expanded his domain by fighting a series of battles against the Imagawa clan.
Takeda Shingen is considered to have been one of the most famous Samurai lords in Japanese history. His military accomplishments were crucial in the unification of Japan, and he is recognized as one of the three finest generals in Japanese history. Takeda’s military tactics are still studied today from a number of perspectives, including strategy and psychology.
Why is Takeda Shingen a Hero for Japanese People?
Takeda Shingen was a prominent daimyo in the mid-16th century. He is famous for his victory at the Battle of Kawanakajima against other clans. The other clans included the Oda clan, Mōri clan, and Uesugi clan.
Takeda Shingen’s determination and willingness to risk his life led him to victory in this battle which made him a hero among the Japanese people.
Siege of Utsunomiya castle
The siege of Utsunomiya castle was a historical battle in Japan. The siege began in March 1568 when forces led by the Oda clan under the command of Nobunaga Oda attacked Utsunomiya Castle, which was then occupied by Takeda Shingen.
The Siege of Utsunomiya Castle was a historic battle that took place in 1570. It was one of the first major battles where Nobunaga used guns and cannons in the attack.
The Battle of Utsunomiya Castle is an important event in history because it is seen as the turning point for Nobunaga’s military tactics and strategies. This event helped to cement his position as an important figure in Japanese history – he became a samurai with power and influence, and eventually became the Shogun after this battle.
Takeda Shingen died of illness. There are multiple theories about what this illness was, but most likely it is leprosy.

Fannie Mae guidelines to tighten December 12th
The mortgage lending guidelines will tighten once again on December 12, 2009 making it more difficult for some borrowers to obtain a purchase loan or refinance their existing mortgage.
Fannie Mae announced it will limit the maximum debt-to-income ratio to 45% of a borrower's gross income. Previously, a borrower could qualify up to 50-55% debt ratios. Fannie Mae did mention that they will consider debt-ratios up to 50% assuming the borrower can provide "strong compensating factors". This would include high credit scores, low loan-to-values (LTV's) and/or significant cash reserves.
In addition to debt ratios, Fannie Mae will also require a minimum credit score of 620, previously the minimum was 580. Fannie Mae believes raising the minimum credit scores and tightening the debt ratios will support prudent risk management and better ensure sustainable homeownership. One can argue that this is an effort to crackdown on the loose lending standards that led to the mortgage crisis that started in 2008. Industry professionals are concerned the new requirements may offset the initiatives introduced by the government to provide more liquidity in the secondary lending market.
Current mortgage rates are at an all-time low right now, so act now and avoid these stringent guidelines. Please call a HomeQuest Mortgage representative for more details at 866-839-1117.

Several years ago, I came across a lovely book on sale on Amazon called Knitting Fashions of the 1940s by Jane Waller. The book has a great selection of patterns, but I found it quite hard for a beginner knitter to use given the limited sizing ranges (a more seasoned knitter would likely make the necessary adjustments without much hassle). I recently picked it back up again and am determined to see at least one project through!
I’ve started working on the ‘pull-on vest’ pattern – which is actually for men, but I thought it would make a very useful short-sleeved woolen tunic top to wear with leggings or skinny jeans. Crucially, though, what drew me to the pattern was the simplicity of the stitches involved (basically, knits and pearls). Phew…
I think the style of tunic also means that the fit doesn’t have to be spot-on:
The only downside is that I’m working with a 4-ply wool and that stuff takes an age to knit up (I’m using a stone grey from the Debbie Bliss Rialto 4-ply range). After about a fortnight I’m almost finished the back section, though, and the front follows exactly the same pattern so I’m pretty optimistic that I’ll manage to get through it without too much stress (and before the end of the year!).
I’ll post details of the fit and finish (the pattern is presented in just one size) once I’ve completed it.

One of our goals at Redfame and IFP3 is to provide you with a “set it and forget it” environment for you to run your website. As web technology evolves and changes we handle all the aspects of keeping up with those changes. We do our absolute best to let you focus only on what you put on your website and how it looks. However, every now and then, there are some technical changes that are beyond our control and we need you to do a few changes that are outside of our system. This is one of those situations. PayPal has made a technical update within their platform that you, as the account owner, need to update in order for your shopping cart checkout to continue functioning.
PayPal has made a recent update in the name of providing a more secure checkout experience that requires the IPN (Instant Payment Notification) URL be hosted on a secure site as well. Technically speaking, PayPal is upgrading the certificate for www.paypal.com to SHA-256. This endpoint is also used by merchants using the Instant Payment Notification (IPN) product. This upgrade is being done to align to the industry security standard.
What do I do?
As it is not currently feasible to get a security certificate for every domain using the Redframe/IFP3 platform, we have engineered a solution to meet your needs. Simply log into your Paypal account and update the IPN URL to https://admin.redframe.com/orders/paypal_ipn.cfm . That URL will handle everything from there. If you need a refresher on how to update your PayPal IPN please refer to this Redframe Help Desk article.
Please contact our Support Team if you need any further explanation or help.

As a fashion school student, I'm constantly being asked about the things I learn in class and what it's like to major in fashion design.
One of the big things we learn in fashion school is how to make fashion sketches. And a large part of that is rendering fabrics, or drawing the fabrics you plan to use in your design. Believe it or not, there is aright way and a wrong way to do this. If you're going to be a fashion designer, you need to learn to put your ideas on paper in the correct way (so others can understand your designs), and rendering is an essential piece of that.
As the new fall collections are strutting down the runway, I thought it would be the perfect time to drop some fashion school knowledge and show you the right way to draw the textiles you see on the catwalks. Below, I'll show you how to illustrate the common fall fabrics seen annually: houndstooth, herringbone, and tweed.
Step 1: Using a marker, draw horizontal dashed lines of varying lines. In order to get the tight weave of the fibers, keep your lines close together, but stagger them, as shown above.
Step 2: Repeat step one, but this time, with vertical lines. Add more horizontal and vertical lines if you want a thinner-weaved tweed.
Step 3: Once the length and cross grain (the horizontal and vertical lines, respectively) of the fabric have been created, add specks with a color pencil in a different color. These specks are called "slubs", a thick chunk of yarn/ thread, seen in tweeds.
Step 1: Using a pencil, draw horizontal lines of equal distance apart.
Step 2: In every other column, draw diagonal lines, with a marker, going in one direction.
Step 3: Repeat step 2 in the empty columns, but with the diagonal lines going in the opposite direction so that they meet at the pencil lines.
Step 4: Erase pencil lines.
Step 1: With a pencil, create an equally spaced checker board by drawing perpendicular horizontal and vertical lines.
Step 2: In every other row and every other column, fill in a square with marker.
Step 3: Now comes the (relatively) tricky part: Connect the bottom right hand corner of the top square to the top left hand corner of the square below it using diagonal lines. Continue down each column.
Step 4: In the empty columns, connect the top right hand corner of the square in one column to the bottom left hand corner of the square across from it in the next column. This should, again, create a diagonal line between the squares. The diagonal lines should create a star shape.
Step 5: Erase pencil lines
Did you know that there was a correct way to draw fabrics? Are you interested in learning to make fashion sketches? What other fashion school subjects would you like to learn more about? Leave a comment below and tell me what you think!

Watertown, Mass., June, 16, 2011 – New research adds to the growing body of evidence in the medical literature showing temporal artery thermometry provides reliable and accurate temperature readings. The findings from a performance improvement project aimed at enhancing patient outcomes conducted within a 558-bed community-based teaching hospital concluded TA (forehead scanning) and oral electronic (OE) thermometers both are reasonable options. The findings were presented at the 2011 National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists National Conference in March.
“Once again, independent research by medical professionals validates our findings about the usefulness of temporal artery thermometry,” said Francesco Pompei, Ph.D., CEO of Exergen Corp. “Exergen’s patented TemporalScanner™ Thermometer has become an indispensable device that can be counted on for fast, accurate temperature readings without causing any discomfort. It’s as useful in healthcare facilities as it is in the home to quickly detect fevers in people of all ages from newborns to geriatric patients.”
The clinical research was conducted after postoperative patients were found to be hypothermic upon first temperature assessment on an acute care unit. Knowing hypothermia can cause detrimental consequences, the clinical nurse specialist empowered the staff to determine the causes of the hypothermia and identify ways to prevent it. The study, which analyzed data collected over five months, was a repeated-measures design that compared TA and OE to core temperature in postoperative coronary artery bypass graft patients with normal temperatures. “Outcomes in this study indicate that both OE and TA are reasonable options for temperature measurement in normothermic patients,” the research concluded.
The study was not affiliated with Exergen and neither the authors nor the institution received compensation from the company to conduct the research.
Exergen markets two models of the TemporalScanner thermometer: a professional version for doctors’ offices and hospitals, and a consumer model sold in major retailers including Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreen’s, Costco, Sam’s Club, Babies “R” Us, Toys “R” Us, and BJ’s. More than 800 million temperatures are taken each year with the TemporalScanner. Used in thousands of hospitals, clinics, and pediatricians’ offices in the country as well as in millions of homes, it is also the only thermometer manufactured in the United States. The performance of the Exergen TemporalScanner is supported by more than 40 peer-reviewed published studies covering all ages from preterm infants to geriatrics and all care areas from hospitals to homes.
Exergen Corporation is recognized worldwide as an innovator and leading manufacturer of patented infrared thermometers, scanners, sensors and controls. The company holds more than 60 U.S. patents for non-invasive temperature measurement devices. Its products are used in a wide variety of industrial and medical applications for both professionals and consumers. For additional information, visit www.exergen.com.

Other cooking programs include weekend fun shops for ages four to 16 for $40, and week-long cooking summer camps for $235.
1515 S. Harwood St.
Dallas, TX 75215
Dallas Heritage Village is one of the few places in the city where kids can truly take a trip back in time to experience a slice of Dallas during the 19th century. The village provides an interactive insight into Dallas’ history through costumed storytellers, artifacts and an array of historical buildings. Additionally, visitors will find a wonderful line-up of recurring events and educational programs, ranging from mock gunfights and musical jams to story telling and historical reenactments. Admission for kids is free on the first Sunday of the month, or $5 for ages four to 12 and $9 for adults.

Arlington, TX 76006

3812 Fenton Ave.
Fort Worth, TX 76133
The Fort Worth Astronomical Society offers various ways for kids to explore the universe, including free star watching parties held every first Saturday of the month outside of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. In addition to the monthly star watching parties, kids can learn even more about the universe by attending the monthly meetings of the young astronomers club — held every third Saturday of the month at the Parkwood Hill HOA Club House at 5573 Eastwedge Drive in Fort Worth. The meetings are free to attend, but with a $20 yearly membership to the society, kids can receive all sorts of interesting goodies, including an astronomer’s handbook, observing supplies to use with the telescopes, achievement badges and an official YA t-shirt.
760 N. Jim Wright Freeway
Fort Worth, TX 76108
If you can’t make it to Gettysburg, then a visit to the Texas Civil War Museum is the next best place to learn all about Civil War history and Texas’ involvement in it. Whether you’re a history buff or not, the museum’s treasure trove of Civil War memorabilia is enough to spark anyone’s interest. Kids will enjoy seeing everything from artillery and medical equipment to uniforms and military musical instruments. There’s even an entire room featuring over 200 Victorian dresses. Admission is $6 for adults, $3 for kids ages seven to 12 and free for kids ages six and under.
One of the best lessons a child can learn is about paying it forward in their own community. The Wee Volunteer non-profit organization offers a variety of monthly group and private volunteer opportunities with local Dallas charitable organizations for children ages two and up. The various service projects include everything from delivering meals with Meals on Wheels and caring for animals at the SPCA to cleaning up graffiti for the City of Dallas and entertaining children at the Family Gateway homeless shelter.

Unfortunately, most AC Freon leaks are undetectable by homeowners because the gas is relatively odorless. When you call us for air conditioner service, we'll check your compressor for a leak and we'll check the Freon level. If a leak is detected, we'll make recommendations about how to handle it.
Physical damage to the compressor or a line must be repaired before recharging your system because Freon is dangerous to you and the environment. Additionally, if the damage isn't fixed, the gas will continue to leak and require more frequent charging.

Alaska’s Deadly Skies Mapped
Alaska’s rural communities depend on a dedicated fleet of bush planes and pilots to move supplies and people across thousands of miles of roadless territory. Anyone who flies, drives, or boats know that there is risk inherent in getting around. No less than 321 people have died over the past 15 years in Alaska aviation crashes, according to a database maintained by the National Transportation Safety Board.
Click on each crash point for more information.
This map is better zooming and examining individual accidents. (Please don’t mind the web mercator projection…)
CartoDB’s quick and dirty heat map shows the obvious: Alaska’s urban core of Anchorage and the railbelt north towards the Mat-Su Valley is where many of the crashes occur. But all of bush Alaska relies on air transportation and freight for some purpose.
You also see a lot of activity in the southwest portion of the state, where the state’s third busiest airport, Bethel, serves as a hub for nearly 60 villages and in Southeast Alaska where the weather is (especially?) notoriously bad.
In 2015 alone, there have been 10 crashes that killed 22 people. To be honest, I had to stop and restart this project several times this fall when additional crashes changed the data set. A large majority of the crashes are limited to one or two deaths, but there are several with more than five fatalities.
2015’s 10 crashes are not out of the ordinary: 10 of the past 15 years have seen 10 or more fatal crashes. On average, just under 22 people die annually in Alaskan aviation incidents. 2009 and 2014 each had just four fatal crashes, claiming seven and five lives respectively.
2013 was the most deadly year in recent memory, when 14 fatal crashes killed 35 people and seriously injured 12. One accident can very quickly add up; 10 of the deaths came in a Rediske Air flight in Soldotna that is blamed on improper cargo storage.
I remember reporting for KYUK that fall on a Era Cessna 208 carrying six that went down near St. Mary’s in terrible weather Thanksgiving weekend. Four were killed that evening. Icing conditions may have played a role in that crash, but the NTSB has not come out with a final report.
But it’s not during Alaska’s cold, wet, and dark winters that tragedies claim the lives of pilots and passengers. The short three months of summer account for a disproportionate amount of crashes over the past 15 years. 55% of the fatal crashes in this period happened during June, July, and August. It’s a period of intense activity: the salmon are running, there’s no shortage of daylight. People naturally get around more this time of year and spend more time in the air.
On August 9th, 2010, a plane carrying former Senator Ted Stevens and eight others aboard a went down in the Muklung Hills northeast of Dillingham. Even with a snow-free landscape, it still took hours for a rescue team to reach the hillside. Half of the plane’s occupants perished.
Winter is statistically a different story. February has only seen three fatal crashes in 15 years. July shows 29 crashes in the same period, killing 83 and seriously injuring six. August alone has seen more fatal crashes than the cold six-month stretch of November through April.
Data for this visualization begin in 2001, when the NTSB began consistently publishing latitude and longitude data for crashes. You can further explore the data in this spreadsheet derived from a download of NTSB data.
This analysis looks at only crashes from 2001 to 2015 in the NTSB database that include a fatality; there are additional accidents and incidents in which the pilot and passengers survive or are uninjured. The NTSB is inconsistent in reporting several aspects of the dataset, such as make and model, purpose of flight, and FAR description. A few notes are included where latitude and longitude data had to be tweaked.
Data may be incomplete. Tools included CartoDB, Excel, Google Spreadsheets, and Plot.ly.

This is a good recipe to pimp a plain old chicken skewer. The jerk marinade is made with fresh Scotch Bonnet peppers and ground allspice, and adds lots of spice and flavor to the meat. …
We serve these burgers often at events and they are always a hit. They look super-cute and the combination of the grilled meat with the smokey flavor of the chipotle mayo is an absolute winner!
You can also easily turn these into regular size burgers for a delicious lunch or dinner. Just make the buns and the burgers a little bigger….
The inspiration for this dish came from a recipe for braised lamb shanks. Why not try it with goat shanks I thought. And again it turned out delicious. Besides that, it looks as fancy as a restaurant dish. You gotta love your goats! Serve with sweet potato mash or warm couscous.
Merguez is one of my favorite sausages. So it didn’t take me long to move from the first successful goat sausage recipe to trying a goat meat version of these North African sausages. They turned out to be full of flavor and are easy to make! Serve with homemade aioli or chimichurri.
- Yield: makes 30 10-cm sausages
- 500 g goat meat, cut into 3-cm cubes
- 125 g pork belly fat, cut into 3-cm cubes
- 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped,
- 2 tbsp merguez spice mix*
- 3 tsp harissa**
- sheep casings
- In a mixing bowl, combine everything but the casings. Place the mixture in the freezer until semi-frozen. Then grind it through a 3 mm plate. Knead well until the mixture is sticky. Fry a small amount to test the taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Place the mixture into a sausage stuffer and stuff into the sausage casings.
* Merguez spice mix:
¼ cup sweet paprika
2 tbsp ground fennel seeds
2 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander seeds
2 tbsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp cayenne
¾ tsp black pepper
Traditionally on Curacao, goat meat is used to make tasty stews. But I had a feeling that there is more to it than that. I was right! The first thing I tried were these delicious goat sausages. They were a great start of my goat-project. More recipes will follow!
- Yield: makes 20 10-cm sausages
- 1.5 kg boneless goat meat, cut into 3-cm cubes
- 500 gr pork belly fat, cut into 3-cm cubes
- 20 gr minced garlic
- 75 gr minced red onion
- 20 gr salt
- ½ tsp coloroso salt*
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp hot Spanish paprika
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tbsp thyme leaves, coarsely chopped
- 2 tbsp rosemary leaves, coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
- ½ cup ice-cold beef stock (or goat stock)
- 3 meter hog casings
- special equipment: meat grinder and stuffing tubes
- * curing salt used in food preservation to prevent or slow spoilage by bacteria or fungus. It also brings out the rich red color in cured meats.
- In a mixing bowl, combine everything but the stock (and casings). Place in the freezer until semi-frozen. Grind the mixture through a 6 mm plate. Transfer to a mixer with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed for 1 minute, gradually adding the stock. Mix for 15-30 seconds more until the mixture is sticky.
- Fry a small amount to test the taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Place the mixture into a sausage stuffer and stuff into the prepared casings.

Windshield Repairs in Slatedale Pennsylvania
Lots of car components seem to be mysterious for many. Nevertheless, your car's windshield shouldn't be categorized in that grouping. Although we do not give windshield very much thought, they are incredibly important.
Many do know that windshields are comprised of several layers of glass. They are made up of 3 layers, two outer layers of glass and a center laminate layer.
The laminate normally is made from a sort of vinyl plastic. This inner layer adheres to the two outer layers. This serves to hold both of these layers together and provides a surface in case of shattering for glass pieces to adhere to.
Cars that are newly assembled have windshields installed by robots in the manufacturing facility. This is a tightly regulated and monitored environment. The fit and moulding is extremely tight. This is because of the digital alignment and the preciseness of the robots. Learn more about Slatedale chip repair from your local repair professional.
Damaged windshields are a safety risk, therefore they should be serviced as soon as there are any signs of damage. Due to the specialized manufacturer's installation and testing, the most effective scenario would be to keep the original glass in position. Usually this is feasible if the damage is a tiny chip, starburst or crack. If a crack has spidered, or a larger object has severely cracked your windshield it means it is time for a new windshield.
Tiny chips or cracks may be repaired with any number of windshield repair kits that are available to buy today. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, then we suggest visiting a windshield service center immediately.
Chip repair may seem like such a minimal concern, many individuals will ignore it. Smaller chips that are disregarded can become large cracks. We see this in outdoor temperature swings. If this materializes, you will be dealing with a windshield replacement rather than a simple chip repair.

Considerable damage to your windshield will call for a full replacement. In fact, your car will not pass Pennsylvania inspection with crack, chips or significant damage. Windshield replacements are significantly more applicable for panes with cracks advancing all the way through most of the window. Simply put, when the crack is too big to repaired, the windshield will need to be removed and new one will need to be installed. Discover more about glass company in Slatedale 18079 here. Whilst the expense of a new windshield is greater than a simple repair, the new windshield will get your car back to normal. A replacement is the only smart choice.

Car Stolen I Know Who Did It But No Proof?
Long Story Short My Car(Which Was A Lot To Me, My Dream Car) Was Stolen 1 To 2 Months Ago. I Reported It When I Found Out Which Was About 5 Hours After They Stole It.(Car Was Found But Striped Nothing But A Frame) I Know For A Fact Who Stole It(My Neighbor And His Group). But I Don'T Have Any Proof That Would Be Good Enough. The Guy Even Tried To Steal My Other Car Last Night. But Went Back Inside After He Saw Me See Him Threw The Window. I Cant Stand A Thief Who Gets Away With Something Like That So If U Guys Can Please Help Me Out. Im Moving This Friday But I Cant Let Him Get Away With Stealing My Dream Car. Thanks
Do you own a camera? Try to catch em in the act on video and show the cops.
keep that camera handy!
Also, if you are moving in just a few days u might want to sleep in the car... or keep a barking dog around. What I also did is buy what is called 'the club' which makes it impossible to steer the car unless it is removed and its tricky to take that off without the key.
I got clubs on my cars now after my neighbor stole two of my cars, then moved away, dam em to hell. First they broke into the house and stole my car keys when i was away, then they stole the cars.
When I replaced the cars they tried to hotwire my replacement... but I put 'the club' on them and keep a barking dog near by. Then they tried feeding my dog, but at least I had the club on it.
How Much Would It Cost To Fix A Car'S Automatic Window Switch?
Some One Is Trying To Sell Me A Car And It Has A Broken Window Switch, It Will Go Down But Not. He Said It Is &Quot;Easy&Quot; To Fix And Cheap But I Sorta Have Disbelief. And He Also Said He Already Checked The Switch Motor And It Is Fine.
Now if it's just a window SWITCH then it is an easy fix. Just call around to junk yards or get a brand new one and that could be just a couple of bucks. If it's the motor then you can still call junk yards and get the motor dirt cheap, or pay 50 + for a brand new one. Both pretty easy fixes.
Go To Dealer? Or Glass-Repair Center?
I Was Driving A Week Ago And It Was Raining Hard And Hail Hit My Windshield. It Cracked Where The Mirror Is And I Wanted To Fix It But Didn'T Have Time Last Week. Then This Week, I See That Now The Crack Is Getting Bigger And I Have To Replace It.
My Car Is 2008 Honda Accord 4 Door Ex (4Cyl) Lease.
I'M Not Sure If I Should Go To The Dealer Or A Glass-Repair Center?
And If I Do Go To Those Glass-Repair Centers, What Cautions Should I Take?
I'd go to the glass repair place...that's what they do.
Actually, some dealers have them on contract to do the replacements for them.
