The Atlanta Hawks were beaten once again, 92-77 in the Clip joint. Bremerton 2004 graduate Marvin Williams, who started in this game, shot 2-for-8 from the field, hit his only three-point attempt, and shot 1-for-4 from the line. Marvin scored six points and grabbed nine rebounds (three on offense). He had two assists to offset two turnovers, and he recorded a steal as well in a team-leading 35 minutes of play.
Next on Atlanta's docket is a trip to the Rose City to face Nate McMillan's TrailBlazers tomorrow night.

The financial crisis of 2008 was a watershed in American financial history. In this seminar, we will examine the financial crisis in detail using law review articles, congressional hearings, and policy documents. We will analyze the key events that contributed to the crisis, including the mortgage crisis, securitization, credit ratings, and the deregulatory trends of the 2000s. Additional topics include why financial regulators were unable to stop the crisis from happening; how they responded to the crisis; and the policy and legal response to the crisis. This course will be taught in a seminar format and students will have writing and research assignments throughout the semester. There is no final examination for this course.

The Learning Bar (TLB) provides an assessment tool to evaluate the school preparedness of individual children.
The Early Years Evaluation Direct Assessment (EYE-DA) is designed to measure the developmental outcomes of children ages 3 to 5 years. Each individual play-based assessment, conducted by a trained evaluator, takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.
Results from the EYE-DA help to identify children who may be at risk for learning difficulties. Early identification using the EYE-DA allows parents, schools, and communities to support each child’s development.
You can find more information on EYE-DA here.

These main pillars are supported by two cross-cutting activities - Vision, Sustainability and Nuclear Awareness that includes also dissemination, and Management.
In order to mitigate the effects of the decline of number of staff qualified in nuclear chemistry, the CINCH-I project aiming at the Coordination of education In Nuclear CHemistry was supported within FP7 Euratom from February 2010 to January 2013.
The CINCH-II project - Cooperation in education and training In Nuclear Chemistry - is a Coordination Action supported by the European Atomic Energy Community's 7th Framework Programme (EURATOM FP7 2007-2011) under grant agreement No. 605173 and it will be a direct continuation of the CINCH-I project. The CINCH-II project aims at mobilization of the identified existing fragmented capabilities to form the critical mass required to implement the courses and meet the nuclear chemistry postgraduate education and training needs of the European Union.
This dedicated training course aims at delivering the basics of nuclear and radiochemistry (NRC) to trainees with chemical background at Master level (chemistry masters or engineers, and/or freshPhD students), who need to extend their skills and knowledge to the field of nuclear and radiochemistry.
This e-course contains the lectures of the Summer School at Chalmers "Working with Plutonium" carried out in May 2015. Participants have to complete three main presentations and final badge test to pass this e-course.
This e-course contains the lectures of the Winter School at KTH, Stockholm "Nuclear Fuel Characterization" carried out in January 2014. Participants have to complete three main presentations and final badge test to pass this e-course.
Course consists of lectures by Dr. Damian Axente, University of Cluj, Romania, which are divided into four slideslive video-presentations. A participant must see all four slideslives to pass the course and pass a final test in order to gain the Isotope Separation badge.
The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the applications of nuclear and radiochemistry (NRC) in analytical chemistry to NRC master and Ph.D. level students and/or analytical chemists without NRC background working in radioanalytical laboratories.
Complex of lectures by Eric Ansoborlo (CEA) on chemistry of radionuclides and their speciation in the environment.
Základní kurz radiační ochrany pro účastníky různých laboratorních praktik na katedře jaderné chemie, FJFI, která probíhají ve sledovaném nebo kontrolovaném pásmu. Kurz je primárně určen pro externí účastníky.
to contribute you must register as a user (it's free and we will not distribute your e-mail address to others). We strongly urge you to contribute, in particular if you are using material from NukWik in your own teaching - the more material you contribute, the more useful and better NukWik will be, and then we can all give better lectures and enhance the quality of our teaching!
Deliver scientific knowledge on material science (formulation, preparation, characterization, long-term behavior) for waste conditioning.
The "Sand Box " course is the good place to make all the test and experiments before editing a course.
Throughout the course indicators are provided to the Moodle Course Creator Certificate (MCCC) Skills Sets - so the course is ideal for MTC candidates.

a review of Jurassic Park 3D completed by the Australian Council on Children and the Media (ACCM) on 15 April 2013.
Jurassic Park 3D is the updated version of the classic adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the novel by Michael Crichton. The story centres upon Jurassic Park, a nature reserve established on a remote South American island by billionaire businessman John Hammond (Richard Attenborough). Hammond and his team of dedicated scientists have populated the park with a variety of genetically engineered dinosaurs. This technological breakthrough was made possible by extracting and manipulating the DNA from dinosaur blood found in the stomachs of ancient fossilised mosquitoes.
As the reserve nears completion, Hammond invites selected guests to view the site, in the hope of attracting recognised experts to take on management roles at the park. These visitors include palaeontologist Dr Alan Grant (Sam Neill), his partner, palaeobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and chaos mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). Hammond’s grandchildren, Lex (Ariana Richards) and Tim (Joseph Mazzello) are also given the opportunity to see the park and its amazing creatures.
Initially, the visitors are all suitably impressed and astounded at the re-created dinosaurs and carefully replicated habitats. Unfortunately, their wonder turns to fear when the park’s computer system is disabled and several dinosaurs escape the high-voltage confines.The remains of the film shows their desparate fight for survival.
Numerous scenes involve salivating, aggressive dinosaurs, with close-ups of mouths, eyes and claws. Sound effects featuring the dinosaurs’ biting and chewing movements add to the scariness of these images.
Several scenes build tension and promote the idea of approaching menace, through the use of sound effects such as deep growling, heavy thudding footsteps, and violently shaking bushes.
Children in this age group will also be disturbed by the scenes described above.
Dr. Malcolm inquires whether Dr. Sattler is “available”.
Jurassic Park 3D is the 3D update of a classic, well-devised film that operates at a range of levels. Taken at face value, it offers a fast-paced science fiction adventure which has attained almost iconic status in recent years (due partly to its pioneering use of computer-generated special effects). Beyond this immediate layer, Jurassic Park also contains an exploration of the role of humans on the earth, questioning the drive for dominance over the planet and nature itself.
Given the multiple frightening and violent scenes, with realistic dinosaurs and some gory and disturbing scenes, this is not a film for younger children. Although the original film was classified PG for "Medium level violence", the new version is classified M for "Violence". The 3D effects make it much more intense and scary for children, particularly on large screens. It is therefore not recommended for under 14s with parental guidance strongly recommended for 14 year olds.

Yesterday, DominionSpy mentioned an open source network framework for games, RakNet.
I've played around a bit with this framework and here's a preliminary result.
More details will follow later, when I've built the framework into the code of task 3, milestone 3.
File comment: To compile, link against all of raknet's .cpp files and link against ws2_32.lib.
Okay, here are the sources of task 3-3, which now uses RakNet for network communication.
To be honest, I like using this library, even though I haven't done anything crucial yet.
class Socket is no longer necessary. ClientSocket and ServerSocket differ too much.
ClientSocket and ServerSocket are now a thin layer around RakClient and RakServer.
The binaries are growing larger and larger. RakNet adds in around 350Kb per executable. This will be my last post including executables.
Edit: RakNet does not add 800Kb. I was measuring incorrectly.
File comment: Binaries are included.
For instructions on adding RakNet to the source code, look in the raknet directory.

Courage doesn’t always roar, sometimes it’s the quiet voice at the end of the day whispering ‘I will try again tomorrow'.

You keep going back and forth, saying what are we missing1 It's huge country, It's rugged country. That all plays on your mind.
Keep going until your efforts start to make things better in your hometown.
Even if I don't finish, we need others to continue. It's got to keep going.
You just keep going and going. You go as fast as you want. I just like coming out here and doing it.
We're not going to quit. We're going to keep going after everybody.
It's going to be a long series so you just have to keep going after every loss you take. Every night is a different story.
It's been one of those years where you just try to keep going and learn on what you need to do to make yourself better. You just have to keep going.
We keep going because we are still finding some survivors. There was one yesterday, another one today. You can't just leave people behind.
I just wanted to stay on the attack. I wanted to keep going and not give him any break.
Believe in yourself and all that you are, know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.

I've decided to read Are Women Human? by Dorothy Sayers. Dorothy Sayers was one of the first women to graduate from Oxford University. One of the things I admire about Dorothy Sayers, is that she did not devote her time to talking or writing about feminism, but instead lived her life doing the work for which she was suited whether or not society understood her choices as "feminine." My little volume contains the two essays that Sayers wrote about women's role in society: "Are Women Human?" and "The Human-Not-Quite-Human."
I'd love to hear about your reading choice for Feminist Literature in March if you are participating!

After impersonation is enabled, if "admin" user does not exist, the query may fail.
Starting from 1.0 version, function "user" and "current_schema" are added to help check current user information.
3. Querying a file requires read permission of the file and execute permission of the directory.
a. No "read" permission of the file.
The file is owned by root with permission "640", and "testuser" does not belong to root group.
The user fails to query the file.
b. No "execute" permission of the directory.
The directory is owned by root with permission "754", and "testuser" does not belong to root group.
The user can show files in that directory, but can not select the files inside.
4. "Show files" requires read permission of the directory.
5. "Show tables" to list the views requires read permission of the view file and read+execute permission of the directory.
a. No "read" permission of the view file.

One of the men behind teen assassin flick Hanna is Sega's choice for its movie adaptation.
Many of you may not recognize the name Seth Lochhead - he who co-wrote teen assassin flick Hanna - but if Sony has its way, you'll soon know him as the man who wrote the Shadow of the Colossus movie script.
Josh Trank, director of Chronicle, has been picked as director. There's no release date yet for this one, nor have there been any significant cast announcements.
Shadow of the Colossus, for those who never got the chance to play it, is a 2006 PS2 title, re-released for PS3 in 2011. You play as bereft hero Wander, out to resurrect his beloved Momo. To do it, Wander has to destroy the sixteen colossi of the title. It's a puzzle game at its heart, but it won critical and popular acclaim for its visuals and soundtrack.
Lochhead is playing it cagy, at least on Twitter, saying he wasn't in a hurry to confirm his involvement. In any event, director Trank is still pretty heavily involved with the Fantastic Four reboot, so this one is a long ways off yet.

Against conventional wisdom, we’ve just published the staff manual for FixMyStreet Pro online, where it’s easy for anyone to access.
When we were putting this manual together, we thought we’d have a quick google round for other council SAAS documentation, to see if anyone was doing it particularly well.
We didn’t get very far, though — it seems there’s a culture of corporate secrecy amongst other suppliers, and a fear of publishing such materials in case of imitation.
It seems that our decision to publish our entire manual online, along with a handy print version, freely available with no password, is perhaps a little unusual.
We’ve gone our own way on this one for a few reasons.
First, because it helps our clients. We know that it’s far easier for customers to look online for materials than it is to remember where they’ve put a physical handbook.
We know we could have put it behind a password, but that just adds an impediment for our existing customers, as well as for anyone hoping to understand the service a little better before making a purchasing decision. Plus, who remembers passwords for something they might only be accessing a couple of times a year? It’s just extra faff.
This way, staff only need bookmark the documentation page, and they’ll always be able to find the most up to date version of the manual.
There’s another reason as well, though. Most mySociety codebases — including FixMyStreet — are Open Source, meaning that anyone who wants to can inspect or use the code for their own purposes. If anyone really wanted to know our ‘secrets’… well, they’re already out in the public domain.
We reckon there’s more to gain by publishing our instruction manual than there is to lose. Sure, competitors might see what features we offer, and they might even copy them. We’re confident, though, that our customer service, company culture, and our insistence on making our products as user friendly as possible, all give us an advantage that imitators are unlikely to be able to match.
So, if you’re from a council yourself (or if you’re just curious) please do go ahead and read the manual. We hope you’ll find it of interest, and that it might cast some light on what makes FixMyStreet Pro different from other offerings in the field.
We’re delighted to welcome two new councils who are now using FixMyStreet Pro for their fault-reporting: Buckinghamshire and Bath & NE Somerset.
Residents in these areas can make reports on the councils’ own websites, where they’ll find FixMyStreet as the street fault interface — or through the main FixMyStreet website and app. Whichever you choose, your reports will be published in all three places.
So far, so convenient for residents — but behind the scenes, there’s lots more going on that improves the efficiency of the whole fault-fixing cycle.
Both councils are users of the Confirm CRM system, with which FixMyStreet Pro can now be fully integrated. What that means in practice is that when you make a report, it drops directly into the council’s existing workflows, with no need for someone in the middle to retype or redirect your report.
Council staff can use the best of both systems’ useful tools for shortlisting, inspecting and updating the status of your issues — and when a report has been progressed to the next stage of the fixing cycle, you’ll be automatically kept up to date both by email, and with messages posted directly to your report page.
In another advance, both councils are now displaying assets such as bins, trees and adopted highways in context-sensitive areas of the report-making journey, so it’s easy to identify exactly which one you’re talking about when you make your report. That saves time for you, and for the council when they go out to fix it .
If you’re interested in the technical details, we’ll have more about both Confirm integration and asset layers in future blog posts.
We’re making some pretty big improvements to the FixMyStreet for Councils service at the moment: improvements that will save councils both time and money, while giving them flexibility and insights into their fault report handling.
This has been our core focus over the last six months, working with our customers to design a new category of case management system, for local government, and by local government.
We’ve been working together with local authority insiders because they’re the people who know best what they require from a piece of software they will use every day. If you also fall into that category, we’d love to hear from you.
We’ll be sharing early iterations of the improved service as we make progress. Your feedback will be part of that process, helping shape a service that does everything you need it to do.
If you are from a local council and you would like to find out more, or you would like to provide feedback on early prototypes, help with user testing and become a part of our development process, we would love to hear from you.
Those who want to find out more about obtaining FixMyStreet for Councils can do so by checking out our page on the Digital Marketplace.
Earlier this week we hosted our Open Standards in Local Government workshop at Newspeak House in London, with the aim of unpicking where open standards might be of benefit and what might be stopping us from making more progress.
We were joined by 20 smart people representing a bunch of local councils across the UK and it’s fair to say we made a good bit of progress. A number of consistent themes arose through our discussions.
It was widely agreed that Open Standards are key to getting the basics right, and standardising the ability of different services to speak to one another is a prerequisite for a sustainable local authority service strategy. The insistence on compliance with open standards at the procurement stage should place an imperative on suppliers to build-in interoperability and reduce the fear of vendor lock in – councils shouldn’t inadvertently replace one set of closed systems for another.
This link between adoption of open standards and the procurement process was fundamental.
In our opinion demanding compliance from suppliers to agreed open standards up front, is probably the single most important thing that central government could do to help local government.
Phil Rumens from LocalGovDigital introduced recent progress on the development of the Local Government Digital Standard. Notably, it goes further than the equivalent in central government, with an emphasis on reuse of existing data and services, and commitment to make more data open and reuseable.
Both the LGA through LG Inform, and GDS via standards.data.gov.uk already look to gather standards for use in central and local government; however adoption by local government often lags substantially behind. Simply put this is a conversation that doesn’t really happen outside a small number of web or digital staff within councils, and the wider group of service staff don’t yet understand the opportunity that open standards represent.
Indeed, Tom Symons from Nesta who introduced the Connected Council’s report, highlighted that the councils furthest ahead are those that have both put in the hours to achieve proper internal Governance standards, and have benefitted from leadership by the Chief Exec and Senior management team.
The biggest need we identified was to showcase great examples of how open standards can lead to better outcomes in practice.
Showing what’s possible, both with case studies and live services that can be adopted was seen as essential, especially when this leads to actual financial savings and better outcomes for the citizen. This is something we’re keen to put some time into in the future.
Sarah Prag and Ben Cheetham shared their experiences of collaborating on the DCLG led Waste Standards project. The most interesting thing for me was how a group of committed individuals just decided to get on with it and find some funding to make it happen – a proper coalition of the willing.
The second half of the workshop looked at what we should focus on next.
We were particularly keen to build on the progress that we’ve made in popularising the Open311 standard, which we can use to integrate FixMyStreet.com with each local authorities’ systems.
We heard two contrasting experiences, firstly from Chris Fairs at Hertfordshire, who employ an extensive internal management system for issue reporting including individual definitions for fault types. They discovered that citizens are not so good at judging the severity of potholes – and through triage inspection, around 40% of reports are downgraded due to misreporting.
This contrasted secondly with the experience of Nigel Tyrell and his team at Lewisham who have recently adopted an Open311 enabled service, now linked into both FixMyStreet.com and LoveCleanStreets.
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of Lewisham’s experience is that well over half of reports actually come from their own internal staff using the system. This peer to peer approach has been transformative for them, with frontline staff motivated, more in control, more engaged with and connected to residents, and better able to integrate citizen reports into their own workflow – a very neat solution.
As with any such event the real value comes in the following weeks and months as we look for ways to collaborate together and opportunities to put into practice some of the things that we discussed.
We’ll certainly be planning follow-up events in the future, so if you’d like to get involved sign up for our newsletter, post a comment below or get in touch at hello@mysociety.org.
Public health teams, policy-makers, councillors and NGOs often need facts about a specific area. If they’re looking for data on things like the number of smokers, the demand for hospital beds, or the birth rate, they turn to their regional Health and Wellbeing Board.
These local authority committees are required to produce a document known as a JSNA (Joint Strategic Needs Assessment) every few years. It’s a snapshot of the demographics and healthcare needs of the local population, and is used by a variety of stakeholders including policy makers and strategy groups.
Like most local authority committees, the London Borough of Hackney and the City of London Health and Wellbeing Board have previously produced their JSNA as a simple read-only PDF document. But, in the digital age, they knew that there was more they could do to make this document accessible, useful, and engaging.
That’s when they called us in — not to build the final digital version of the JSNA, but to help them understand the possibilities and ensure that they were heading down the right path.
We’ve written up the whole process in a case study, so, if you’d like to know more, read on.

Thirty years after its introduction, Ducati’s game-changing 4-valve, liquid-cooled 851 is an icon.
2017 marks the 30th anniversary of the debut of the legendary Ducati desmoquattro V-twins, yet it would have been hard to envisage at the start of the 1980s that a decade later Ducati would end up defeating both Honda and Yamaha to win the World Superbike Championship with a twin-cylinder racer.
By 1983 the Italian company was at a low ebb, with fewer than 3,000 bikes a year trickling out of its Bologna factory, having passed in 1978 into the hands of the VM Group, a state-subsidized manufacturer of industrial engines. Motorcycles were a low priority for VM, and with worldwide bike sales crumbling, Ducati’s future looked bleak. But in 1985, with the marque literally days away from being consigned to the scrap heap of history, a deal was struck with the late Claudio Castiglioni and his brother Gianfranco, owners of the flourishing Cagiva factory, to acquire Ducati. As this coincided with the retirement of Fabio Taglioni, and his replacement as the company’s chief engineer by his understudy Massimo Bordi, this was a significant event in Ducati’s history.
With the energy and flair that had driven them to make such a success of Cagiva, the Castiglionis transformed Ducati’s model range, manufacturing facilities, PR image and racing fortunes. Determined to create a new generation of desmo V-twins, they commissioned Bordi to produce a new engine. While still retaining the firm’s trademark desmodromic 90-degree V-twin format, Bordi’s desmoquattro was the first-ever Ducati engine employing liquid cooling, electronic fuel injection, and more than two valves per cylinder. Its four-valve desmo cylinder heads, each with eight rockers and belt-driven twin overhead camshafts, turned the page in Ducati’s technical development.

The sofa is probably one of the most popular bit of furniture and it is very important to get one that you find comfortable if like many people you spend a lot of time in it.
A second hand sofa can save hundreds of pounds off the new price but make sure that internal springs are fine and that it doesn't sag too much when you sit on it.
If you are looking at buying a used sofa bed be cautious as some sofa beds are only designed for light use and soon lose their shape and comfort if they are over used.

The discussion on the future of publishing, or at least the strand that has come my way, is often about how digital is eating traditional publisher’s lunch. Techcrunch‘s John Biggs has written a few posts about this recently and the Kindle Unlimited launch and whether it is a good thing or not and Danny Crichton mused on the role of the market. Both seem to be looking at the issue from a purely digital perspective. James Robinson, a writer for Pandodaily, has published a thoughtful piece on his own experiences in crowdfunding a book via Kickstarter.
I am not going to precis the post but I found it an memorable piece on the minutiae of creating a physical object. In a sense, some of the hardwork was pre-built in as the text was from a previous blog so had been edited but further editing was required. Then the design. Minutiae that it is easy to forget in the web and assume that the same rules work in reverse.
This is why I like physical books. I like their feel. I actually enjoy turning the page and the moment of occasional hesitation and having to turn back if I think I’ve misread something. I do prefer reading fiction in hard copy. Occasionally there are memories attached to the physical object – Who gave it to me? How was I feeling when I read the book?
I don’t get this with my Kindle. I keep my technical library on it and use it that way. I can carry many books with me without having a huge bag and some publishers update the book for me. I’ve written before that I believe the future of Science, Technical and Medical publishing is probably electronic so that it gets to market in a more timely fashion and can be updated when the field moves quickly.
I don’t have the same relationship to it that I do with a physical copy. To be fair, I only get physical copies of fiction, some literature or historical studies or cookery or gardening books. Books into which I can lose myself in enjoyment for a while. I am fairly sure that other readers have different experiences. Publishers do have role to play as do physical books.

The Capital of the Chinese Empire stands on the northern extremity of the great alluvial delta which extends from its walls southward 700 miles. Over the greater part of nine centuries, under various names and dynasties, Pekin has remained an imperial city. During the periods of those early vicissitudes, the extent and boundaries of the city materially varied.
The modern city consists of two parts, the inner city know to foreigners as the "Tatar City," and the outer city known thus as the "Chinese City;" but these terms are misleading, as what is called the inner city is not enclosed within the outer city, the southern wall of the former resting squarely against the northern wall of the latter--the one outflanking the other on either side. The outer walls of the double city enclose an area of about 25 square miles, and measure 30 miles in circumference. Unlike other Chinese walls, these are kept in perfect order. Those of the Tatar portion are 50 feet high, with a width of 60 feet at base and 40 feet at top, while those of the Chinese City, built in 1543, measure 30 feet in height; width at base, 25 feet, and 15 feet at top.
Viewed from the walls, Pekin has the aspect of a city of gardens, with a mass of gay temples, palaces and mansions, their blue, green and yellow glazed tiles shining among the groves.
In the "Imperial City" is the "Purple Forbidden City," which holds the Emperor's Palace of unsurpassed splendor, in which the Son of Heaven holds his Court. The Temple of Heaven is a noteworthy building, where the Emperor offers sacrifice and presents prayers for various objects. There are also altars to the Earth, Sun, Moon and Agriculture.
There is very little manufacturing done in the city, the inhabitants being consumers and not producers.

Convent has the required license for commercial employee leasing, granted by the Kiel Employment Agency for an indefinite period.
The conclusion of an employee leasing agreement does not constitute a contractual relationship between convent employees and the customer. During the operation, convent employees are subject to the customer's work instructions and work under his supervision and guidance. They are committed to observe secrecy. This applies to all confidential or secret business matters that are disclosed to them as part of their work.
Changes in operation time, working hours and working activities can only be agreed between convent and the customer.
Convent provides the customer with carefully selected employees who have been checked for their professional qualifications. The customer should be convinced of the suitability of the employees assigned to him for the intended activity. In the case of legitimate complaints, which he reports within the employee's first transfer date, that day will not be charged. Convent is entitled to call up its employees at any time and replace them with other suitable employees.
When engaging foreign workers, convent ensures that the required official approvals are available.
The customer undertakes to engage convent employees exclusively for activities agreed in the employee leasing agreement. He only lets employees use or operate the appropriate work equipment or machines. Prior to any changes, the customer undertakes to inform convent immediately. The customer does not pay convent employees any sums of money, especially wages and travel expenses.
In addition, the customer does not engage convent employees for the transport of money or money collection and expressly exempts convent from all claims in this respect.
When engaging convent employees, the customer undertakes to observe the legal regulations of occupational safety and health (in particular working hours and occupational safety) that apply to his operation.
For this purpose, he identifies and documents the hazards associated with the work as well as any resulting occupational safety measures. The results of the risk analysis are provided by the customer convent before the start of the lease. The customer familiarizes the employees with the relevant accident prevention regulations of the respective workplace before starting their work and provides the necessary safety equipment.
The customer grants convent access to the place of work of the convent employees by prior arrangement in order to ensure compliance with the occupational safety measures. Convent must be notified immediately in the event of an occupational accident, so that the accident report can be made in accordance with Section 193 Social-Security Statute Book (SGB) VII.
The customer undertakes not to hire any convent employees provided to him by direct recruitment. The non-solicitation is valid for the duration of the leasing and for the period of up to 6 months after the end of the leasing.
If the customer concludes an independent employment contract with a convent employee assigned to him as defined above, it is assumed that the employment contract was concluded under unfair court cases. In the event of infringements, convent is entitled to demand compensation and omission.
Convent has made wage and salary agreements for its employees according to the IGZ collective bargaining agreement with the DGB. This covers the income structures and social benefits of the convent employees.
Convent undertakes to comply with all obligations of the employer, that is, to comply with all labor, social and income tax provisions and to make the appropriate payments in a timely manner.
The customer undertakes to check the hours worked on a weekly basis by an authorized representative and to confirm them by means of a company stamp or to send convent a copy of the customer's employee time recording in due time. A copy of the time sheet remains with the customer for inspection.
Invoices are generated weekly on this basis and are payable within eight days without deduction. Decisive for the calculation is the hourly rate agreed on the employee leasing agreement plus the applicable value added tax.
For missions outside the agreed place of work, the costs incurred are calculated. In these cases, an additional meal allowance (VMA) can be agreed within the legal or contractual provisions. The hourly/daily rates apply, unless otherwise agreed, without surcharges for overtime, night work, shift work, Sundays and holidays as well as tools, VMA et cetera. Convent reserves the right to increase the hourly/daily rates if wage increases occur after conclusion of the contract, if employees are replaced by others with higher qualifications, or if circumstances beyond the control of convent cause a cost increase. The regular working hours of convent employees at the customer correspond to the weekly working hours agreed in the employee leasing agreement.
Working hours exceeding the agreed working time, as well as night, Sunday and bank holidays are charged extra. Likewise, the use in alternating layer. The surcharges are agreed separately with the customer.
When overtime is combined with Sunday and holiday surcharges, only the higher surcharge will be charged.
The customer undertakes to communicate all complaints to convent immediately, unless they are regulated by Item 3 of the Terms and Conditions. If defects are not reported within one week of their occurrence, all claims are excluded.
Convent is entitled to cancel and make any changes if the performance of the contract is made difficult, endangered or impaired. This applies to unforeseeable circumstances such as civil unrest, catastrophes, epidemics or sovereign orders, strikes, illness and the like at the time of concluding the contract.
Convent is only responsible for the proper selection of its employees in relation to the contractually agreed activity. The liability is limited to damages caused by deliberate or grossly negligent violation of the selection obligation. Convent is not liable for any further claims.
The invalidity of any part of these conditions shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. Verbal side agreements require the written confirmation of convent in order to be valid. Place of fulfillment is the domicile of the responsible office of convent. If the contracting partner is a registered trader, the court of jurisdiction is agreed to be in Oldenburg at the discretion of convent.
For simplification and uniform presentation, the male form was chosen as representative of the female and male form.

Met with SA yesterday to discuss various technical and management issues. SA gave me the name of a graphic artist whom I will contact today. We will also try to install Camstasia on a few macs in the HCMC so that my RA can go work there. Regarding the funds for HCMC, we will wait for specific bills and more specifically I might transfer some of my funds form technical to travel to pay for Stewart to go to EUROCALL where we might present together. EUROCALL next year will be from Aug 31 to Sept 3 in Nottigham, England. If and when necessary one of the RA who is starting his MA will be trained to text encoding and video editing. However this FALL the work consist mainly in transcribing data, getting experiment 2 ready. The technical work will be done by Stewart and Greg at the HCMC. More later.

Tools which help you save time are generally a precious commodity – for developers they are priceless.
Toolset has added two new features which will not only see you working smarter than ever before but will also make it easier to create websites which look more professional than ever.
The first is the addition of post relationships. Post relationships are connections between unrelated posts, making it easier to run really advanced websites. That is because you can separate the elements within your custom post types and combine them in many different ways. With post relationships, you only need to post information once – avoiding data duplication – while using it as many times as you want on your website.
The second feature is repeatable field groups which will help you create a group of custom fields which you can use over and over again within a custom post type. Rather than wasting time creating the same set of custom fields, developers can create a repeatable field group once and reuse it as they please.
You can use Toolset’s post relationships feature to create three different types of relationships. Each one has their uses which we will now outline.
In a one-to-one relationship, elements from two different custom post types will be connected exclusively.
To illustrate, on a doctor’s office website, a patient will want to book an appointment. We can create an exclusive relationship between the appointment and the patient which reserves it. For example, Paul K (a patient) might choose to be seen at 10am on May 5. When he selects that slot staff will be able to see his appointment on his “Patients” post and will also see Paul’s name next to the 10am, May 5, slot on the “Appointments” post. This all happens with just one click from Paul.
We will use a one-to-many relationship to link a singular item from one custom post type with multiple items from another.
Besides making appointments, patients might want to access certain test results online too. We already have our “patient” custom post type so we would have to create one for test results. Each of the items within the “test results” custom post type will be unique for one particular patient. However, patients will probably take more than one health test. Therefore, a one-to-many relationship is the best option.
For complete flexibility when building and running websites, the many-to-many relationship is by far the best feature. Using this relationship allows an item from a custom post type to be connected with multiple from another post type and vice versa.
On our doctor’s office website we will want to link items from our “patient” and “doctor” custom post types with many elements from the other. Doctors will obviously have multiple patients while patients might need to see various doctors depending on their condition. Therefore, it is important to create a connection between the two in order to make it as easy as possible to add patients to a doctor’s list, for example.
The great thing about many-to-many relationships is that if we need to update an item from a custom post type we do not need to go through every single post to ensure they are correct. We can also use this feature to implement searches which include or exclude certain items from a custom post type – you can easily search for doctors who are not already assigned to a patient, for example.
Let’s take a look at exactly how you can create a many-to-many relationship using our doctor’s office website.
We will use Toolset’s relationship wizard to create our many-to-many relationship. One of its advantages is that we do not need to use PHP or any other coding to forge these connections.
Once we have opened the relationship wizard on Toolset we can start to create our many-to-many relationship between our “patient” and “doctor” custom post types. The first step is to select what type of relationship you want on the first screen – we will choose the many-to-many relationship option.
We now need to choose which custom post types we want to connect with each other. In this case, it will be the “doctors” and “patients” post types.
On the next screen, we can limit exactly how many items from a custom post type we can connect with the other. Let’s imagine that we do not want each doctor to have more than 200 patients assigned to them otherwise they would be far too busy. Here is where we can place that restriction. We will also only allow a patient to be registered with three doctors.
On the next step, you can add extra fields which are specific to this relationship. For our doctor/patient connection we will want both sides to know the date of their appointment and what the treatment will be for. Therefore, we can create two fields to represent this. With Toolset, we have a variety of different field types to choose from.
Once we select and name them we are left with our chosen two fields.
Once we click “Continue” our new post relationship is ready to be put through its paces. Let’s imagine that Paul K. has a heart condition and we need to assign him to a cardiologist. We can now create a connection between his “patient” custom post type and the “doctor” one for Yann Tailor, the cardiologist.
There are two options to add connections. The first is by selecting the “Add new doctor” option and creating a new “doctor” custom post type. However, we have already created Dr. Tailor´s post, therefore, we will use the “Connect existing doctor” option.
Once we click on there we can select Dr. Tailor’s name while also adding a date and treatment option using the relationship fields we previously added.
Now that we have created the new connection, Paul K’s post has been updated to include Yann Tailor.
However, there is another way that you can create new connections between the “doctors” and “patients” post types without having to access the back-end.
We can use Toolset’s relationship forms to create a form which we will allow our patients or doctors to assign themselves to each other on the front-end.
On the next slide, we need to choose exactly which post relationship we want to use for the form and what happens once the user submits it. We will select the “Doctors Patients” form and ensure that users will stay on the same page once they click submit.
It’s now time to actually build the form. We will use the “Autogenerate form content” option which will automatically create our form for us without requiring us to input any coding. As you can see below, we simply have to select which fields we want to appear. We only need the “Doctors” and “Patients” post types so we will remove the relationship fields.
Below is how our form now looks on the back-end. Once again, you will see how we have not added any CSS.
We can now create relationships between our “Doctors” and “Patients” post types just like we did before on the back-end. Observe how easy it is to add Ella T to Yann Tailor on the front-end.
When we head to Ella T’s post we can see, once again, that Dr. Tailor is now listed as one of her doctors.
The problem we now have is that when patients access their post they will expect to see certain information such as x-ray results. Luckily, we can use Toolset’s other feature to make it simple to add them.
Using repeatable field groups makes it easy to add the same set of fields over and over again without wasting time adding each one individually. Let’s look at an example.
Whenever a patient receives results of an x-ray, we want to upload the images and details of the x-ray to their post to allow both patients and doctors to easily view them. Rather than adding each of these individual elements every time we want to upload a new x-ray, we can create them once as a group. Therefore, we will create a repeatable field group which we can display as a slideshow on the front-end. We can combine the fields to create one group which we can use each time we need to add a new x-ray. For this purpose, we have three fields: the image, the date of the x-ray and a brief description of the body part.
As you can see below, instead of creating each of the fields whenever we need to upload an x-ray, we can click the “Add new X-ray slider option” to see all the fields we need.
Any new slides we create will then show up on the front-end.
As you can see, using the repeatable field group feature will save developers a considerable amount of time when it comes to adding similar types of content to a page.
Both of Toolset’s new features, post relationships and repeatable field groups, will not only help you build websites which will look professional but they will cut down on the time it takes to create them. Better results quicker than ever? Now that really is a win-win situation.

REAL MADRID have agreed a deal in principle with Eden Hazard, sensational reports from Spain claim.
The Belgian ace has struggled to shine at Stamford Bridge this season after lighting up the Premier League during Chelsea’s super 2014-15 campaign.
His faltering form has led to talk of a mega-money move away from west London.
And AS cite sources close to Madrid top brass who claim a deal is as good as done to bring the player to Spain.
Chelsea are expected to appoint Antonio Conte as their new boss and will hand him a healthy transfer budget.
And with the Blues said to want at least £80m for the Belgium international, Conte’s cash pile could get even bigger.
The Sun claimed yesterday a swap deal involving Real’s James Rodriguez and Hazard is on the cards this summer.
The Belgian ace, who joined from Lille for £32m in 2012, is contracted to Chelsea until 2020.

Nah, I'm neither addicted nor obsessed. I'm just keeping fit.
What exactly am I trying to achieve here? Why do I like the game so much?
I ask myself the same question every single time I find myself outside, eyes focused solely on the screen of my phone, checking for nearby furry monsters to capture, my head plotting for the best path to walk.
Is it because I'm looking to prove that I can be good at something? Or is it because the game gives me an escapism from the bore of everyday life? Os is it recognition that I seek? I have no idea. Cheesy as it sounds, from the day I started to play the game, I knew I wanted to be one of the best, if not the best.
But unsurprisingly, despite it being labelled as a game, Pokemon Go mirrors the real life in many ways. Success does not come easy, as the game requires you to walk, travel and plan in order to be good. You'll need to make sacrifices, strategise and put in a considerable amount of effort in order to set yourself apart.
Then again, almost everything in life does. A hobby stops being a hobby the moment you decide to be serious in it.
It has been close to three months since I first started. And in this span of time, I have walked more than 275km (most of it, since I occasionally have my game on when I'm on buses or cars); caught 3,435 Pokemon and became someone that I used to hate in the orginal games: a bird-catcher-bug-keeper-youngster hybrid because of all the pidgeys, ratatas and bugs I caught.
Hours have been spent walking around Botanic Gardens and the nearby neighbourhood park, farming Pokemon and spinning Pokestops in the quest to level up. I don't consider Level 27 to be quite high, but still a considerable achievement nonetheless, stopping short of going full otaku on Pokemon Go by consistently camping at far flung locations known for their good spawn.
I don't know what my end point will be like — I don't expect myself to ever reach the fabled Level 40 — though I would really like to picture myself consistently conquering and maintaining gyms around Singapore. A feat that is sadly close to impossible right now no matter which gym you take, due to the high amount of cheaters currently in the game.
I foresee that the cheaters will most likely be the reason I'll stop playing the game one day, because when you spend so much time and effort to be good in the game, only to face someone with a whole Dragonite army just by sitting at home, it can get quite discouraging sometimes.
Because seriously, just take a walk around Singapore and look at all the Singapore gyms. A Pokemon that is supposed to be the rarest is in fact one of the most common around. I'm willing to bet a good amount of money that at least 50% of the active Singapore players are using some form of GPS spoof or bot.
But still, somehow I will continue playing though, hoping that maybe one day the cheaters will get bored of the game and leave the game to us forever alone legit players. That or maybe I'll succumb to temptation and join the dark side one day. Like they say, either you'll quit as a legit player or play long enough to become a cheater.

I am truly thankful that #YolandaPH spared our area. My heart, though, weighs heavy with the thought of fellow Filipinos in the hardest hit areas whose homes and lives were savaged by the storm. My heart cries for my friends who have no news of their family from these places.
But life goes on. Yolanda has left. Today I actually did my laundry, taking advantage of the heat. In the afternoon, as a stand-in for my parents, I joined a group of Holy Land pilgrims for their reunion and merry-making here in Dumaguete.
Amid today’s happy get-together, I remember in prayer, our country and our people and call our strengths as Filipinos. Resilient. Vibrant. Alive.

Do Not Eat Honey Smacks, at Least For Now!
If you've eaten Kellogg's Honey Smacks cereal, you might feel a little sick. Many reports of people getting sick from this cereal have come after they were recalled back in June for salmonella concerns. The Center of Disease Control and Prevention says that 30 more people have become sick over the cereal since July. 130 cases across 36 states, including New York, have been reported.
The CDC wants to remind people to not buy or eat any Honey Smacks cereal. They say that retailers should not be selling the cereal, but that many still are as of recently. If you have already bought the cereal, either throw it away or return it to the store for a refund. If you stored it in another container, make sure to wash the container thoroughly.
Eating this cereal could result in fatal infections, fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Although no deaths have been reported, 34 people have been hospitalized due to the outbreak. Most individuals recover in 4 to 7 days, but the young and elderly are particularly vulnerable.
Read more about the outbreak from the CDC here.

The encounter of the two architects David Kraus and Svatopluk Sládeček in the exhibition In the Head of the Architect is the outcome of the personal level of a joint story that began only recently. The initial incentive for their convergence was mutual professional respect for each other’s standpoints and realised designs. Besides their accredited professional proximity, Kraus and Sládeček are united, on the occasion of their gallery rendezvous, by a singular experience, non-transferable between generations: The euphoria of becoming aware of the multitude of possibilities that spread through this country in the mid-1990s. What could only be guessed in socialist Czechoslovakia, or observed through the unstitched seams of the Iron Curtain, suddenly became true and present after 1989. The intensity and amount of incentives suddenly perceived in all spheres of social, cultural and political life can perhaps be compared to moving from a garden swing to an amusement park roller coaster. That period contributed substantially to the formation of Kraus’s and Sládeček’s understanding of architecture, and in fact also established their otherness based on a certainty that the existence of order is justified by permanent testing of its validity. The euphoria of the first half of the nineties can also help us understand how it was possible to find so many affinities of opinion and creative approach in two personalities with extremely different standing and character, who did not even meet each other in person during their studies.
Being other, askew, refractory or programmatically oppositional are some of the possible characteristics that could be applied to both Kraus and Sládeček if we wished to categorize these architects in the current state-of-the-art in architecture. Others, less visible, include for instance their captivation with the periphery that they both perceive as a space of freedom of expression and spontaneity. The unrestrained organisation of the city outskirts and disparateness reigning on the margins of sites give rise to a specific poetics that is a source of inspiration for both of them.
Their tendency to liminal situations and plots also explains the ambivalence of their styles and openness to the materials used and their combinations. The choice of materials depends rather on the economy of the building than on the materials’ aesthetic qualities. Although one could not say that the aesthetics of the building or its expression would play an insignificant role in the work of Kraus and Sládeček, the most important quality always remains architectural space. In the rendition of both architects it does not matter whether architectural space, signifying the relationship of the human body to its immediate environment, is constituted by plasterboard or an onyx wall. When surveying the realised buildings of architects Kraus and Sládeček, this may be the first thing that observers will notice, because they realise that each of them attempts to answer the question of what can be avoided in architecture if the major content of a house is architectural space.
Being obstinate about architectural space and searching for opportunities for its implementation require special strategies in negotiating commissions. The domain of the two architects are small building owners who have decided to build or renovate their own house. Both Kraus and Sládeček use such intents in order to embed architectural space in the designed building in the same manner as a cuckoo laying its eggs into other birds’ nests. This does not mean that they deliberately avoid larger commissions, but family buildings constitute the most appropriate and the most suitable format for the enticements of their architectural passion.
The similarity of the scale of architectural values, especially architectural space, visual composition, a conceptual approach to the assigned task and luxuriance of forms and materials – these are the reasons for the encounter of Kraus and Sládeček in the exhibition space. Referring to do-it-yourself and tinkering, typical not only of the urban periphery landscape, each of the architects has designed a structure to interpret and characterize the architectural work of the other. This bilateral explication is based on a selection of four buildings that Kraus admires in Sládeček and vice versa. The exhibition space has thus become a kind of three-dimensional collage, which is at the same time a probe in the heads of both architects highlighting the main principles, incentives and inspiration sources that each considers to be the support of the other. At the same time, the mounted structures and dialogue among them show that for the two architects architecture is not a final fate, but an open story that can be told in several ways, without losing any of its persuasiveness and charm. On the contrary, the way to point to a further horizon is with playfulness.

Dolores Furtado (b.1977, Buenos Aires, Argentina) lives and works in New York. Her practice is based on her interest in matter, which she exposes in a raw, naked way: matter becomes body. In a wide range of formats and sizes, her sculptures highlight process, through tactile marks, scratches, and object-based prints. She thinks of her sculptures as documentations of process and action.
Recent shows include Ultimate Nature, The Clemente Soto Cultural Center, New York (2017); 4th AIM Biennial , Bronx Museum of the Arts, (2017) ; A.I.R. Gallery Biennial, A.I.R Gallery, Brooklyn (2017); Epsilon, abstracciones descentradas, MACBA, Museum of Contemporary Art of Buenos Aires (2016); Governors Island Art Fair, New York (2015 and 2016); Arcos de Conexión, Museum of Contemporary Art of Bahía Blanca, Argentina ( 2014); Una persistente forma de estar en el mundo, Casa de la Cultura del Fondo Nacional de las Artes, Buenos Aires, Argentina (2014); among others.

Being party to a litigation dispute is not always simple. It is likely to be time consuming and it is almost always going to be costly. This is the case whether you are a claimant or defendant, a business or a litigant in person. It is particularly important for businesses to ensure that it does not cause any disruptions to the day to day running, or at least try to minimise disruptions as much as possible. Although, this is much easier said than done. It is useful to keep in mind the following if you, as a business, ever find yourself in such a position.
As with any potential threats or disruptions to a business, your main focus should continue to be that of the business. It is important not to allow the strain and anxiety which comes hand in hand with legal proceedings to encroach on the day-to-day running of the business. This could have a knock-on effect on the business; if you subconsciously allow yourself to spend too much time and attention on the proceedings and not enough on business matters, this could affect any business decisions you need to make or you could prioritise your workload ineffectively. Whilst litigation is of course a serious matter, business owners should ensure that time and attention is directed to such matters only when it is fundamentally necessary. If you have a secretary or personal assistant, take advantage of their ability to filter your telephone calls or emails in case such correspondence can be dealt with by someone else. This leaves you free to handle business matters.
Check whether your company insurance policy covers legal expenses. Whether you revisit your policy documents or give them a quick call, it is always worthwhile to check not only from a financial perspective (by assisting with payment of your costs) but from a commercial perspective (by being able to recommend a panel of solicitors for you). It is common practice that legal expenses are covered up to a certain capped amount in insurance policies. It is therefore sensible to see whether this option is available to your business.
If legal expenses are covered, your policy should also have a panel of solicitors which they would recommend you use. Even if this is not the case, it would be a good idea, if you have the financial means to do so, to instruct a firm of solicitors to deal with this on your behalf. Instructing solicitors will take the weight off your shoulders. They will be able to respond to correspondence on your behalf, advise you on your available options and discuss tactics with you. It is their responsibility to take the lead, to advise you accordingly and to correspond with you only to update you and to take your instructions. Instructing solicitors is therefore an excellent way of ensuring that you can focus on doing your job and not letting external matters take priority.
In litigation disputes, some parties may become so engrossed in the proceedings that they begin to lose sight of the ever increasing costs. It would be a good idea, every so often or at certain junctures of the proceedings, to take stock and consider whether it is still commercially viable to continue with the litigation dispute. Claimant businesses will need to consider whether it is worth continuing to pursue their claim. Defendant businesses will need to consider whether it is still worth defending the claim.
What the costs are likely to be going forward.
And the costs you are likely to recover at conclusion, if any.
With this information, you would be in a better position to consider whether the costs you may recover (if any) will outweigh the costs of litigation itself. If you have instructed solicitors, you should have a frank conversation with them about this to be advised accordingly. They can discuss with you whether it is worth pushing forward with the matter, or whether putting forward a settlement offer will actually garner a better result for you. Request that they send you costs estimates on a regular basis to stay on top of your finances and that you are completely informed at all stages.
It is important to remember that, in litigation, the usual position is that the losing party will be ordered by the court to pay the other party’s recoverable costs. This can include fees, expenses, disbursements and remuneration. This is another reason why parties should carefully consider how to progress with the claim. If you continue to pursue or defend the claim and are unsuccessful, a court may order that you pay an adverse costs order (the amount of which is beyond your control). However, if you choose to settle, these costs may be negotiated between the parties.
Make sure that all arrangements and relationships (whether it is with clients, employees or suppliers) are put in writing and are carefully and thoroughly recorded.
Obtain legal advice on your contracts to ensure that you completely understand all clauses in the contract, any restrictions that may apply to you, any time limits you should be aware of and the level of indemnity afforded to you.
Stay proactive, ensure that you act immediately as soon as a dispute or complaint arises in order to nip it in the bud and prevent it from potentially escalating further.
Keep up to date with the current legal issues and challenges in your industry so that you can adequately prepare for any potential problems.
Always provide an exceptional service, ensure that your clients or customers are happy and that your business operations or management structures are well-oiled, this would minimise the risk of any potential professional negligence claims.

The Union College Dutchmen remain the hottest team in college hockey. A 5-2 Saturday night win at Alfond Arena over the Maine Black Bears gives the Dutchmen a weekend sweep and a 21 game unbeaten streak dating back to last year.
The defending national champs are now 4-0. Maine falls to 0-4.
Union scored the first goal of the game just 51-seconds into the game.
It stayed 1-0 until the second period when Maine's Cam Brown scored a powerplay game.
That's when the Dutchmen scored three unanswered goals over the next six minutes to put the game away.
Maine's two goalies totaled 34 saves. Union's two goalies stopped 31 shots.
The Bears try to get in the win column next weekend when Alaska-Anchorage comes to Alfond.

Dress your food in the flavors of the season for enduring energy.
Fall into healthy eating with this simple, seasonal vinaigrette for steamed green vegetables, salads and hearty whole grains.
Whisk oil, vinegar, Dijon and maple syrup. Season with salt, pepper and turmeric, and whisk all ingredients together.
With a ball jar, simply toss all ingredients into the jar. Screw on lid and shake!
It's Day 12 of the #30DaysofGreen challenge sponsored by Plant Pure Communities. I'm loving discovering new ways to addnutrient dense greens to meals, especially in the early morning.
Today I took massive lettuce leaves called Tropicana Green Leaf from Gotham Greens in New York - a favorite, and spread them lightly with Artisan Foods raw cashew buttah (my superfood muse), along with a topping of raw cashews, chia and hemp seeds from Navitas Organics.
You can fold the leaves into pockets or roll them, and then crunch away. I love'em in the morning. My clients report its a supersnack!!
Ever make a sandwich or lunch wrap using lettuce rather than bread? It offers the light flexible energy of a salad to power through your day. You can use a variety of leafy options such as Boston, Green Leaf and Butter lettuces. I prefer Romaine for wrapping because it’s sturdy and crisp. Also, the life force which is evident in the root system of the romaine leaves is noteworthy.
Method: Lay two large leaves out in a criss-cross fashion. Place the burger in the center of the leaves where they intersect. Top the burger with a nutrient-dense spread like @followyourheart vegan mayonnaise (chipotle please!), hummus or a favorite vegetable pate, and top with grilled vegetables. Fold the lettuce leaves over the stack to create a pocket-sized sandwich that’s perfect for healthy eating on-the-run.
Food as fuel is a powerful image. Do we eat with our eyes, or do our food choices reflect greater consideration of how food is ultimately going to make us feel and serve us.
The longer I eat with nutrient density top of mind rather than merely counting calories or MACRONUTRIENTS, carbohydrates, protein and fat, the more I reject the idea of eating food that is not going to allow me to function at the highest level, either now or later.
Gone are the days of feeling deprived eating healthy. Today, the delicious possibilities of either home-cooked food or food that is prepared by caring, conscious folks invested in the collective well-being of others offers overwhelming hope for what is possible in the future.
You do not have to be sick and tired. You can be unstoppable.
Sometimes you whip up a batch of something and it just exceeds expectation. These clean energy bites are raw, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free and DELICIOUS!!!
Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix with wooden spoon or spatula, slowly incorporating the ingredients. If the batter is too dry, add a drop more honey or nut butter. If batter is too wet, add more protein powder. Today, I used these exact measures and they came out perfect.
Once all of the ingredients are incorporated (don't over-mix batter!), and batter is just moist enough to form a ball, roll out balls of batter onto a plate using up the whole mixture.
I freeze mine, and take them out as needed, rather than keep them in fridge where they might dry out. It depends how fast you eat them and how many others will be grabbing up these plant-powered treats!
Bet they would be good half-dipped in melted chocolate chips and rolled in toasted pecans. I loved them just as is today.
These are the perfect pick-me-up at the office, before or after the gym and for a fast breakfast get-away in the morning.
Legendary American novelist Ernest Hemingway made "for whom the bell tolls" famous when he used the quote as the title of a book that is set during the Spanish Civil War. This much contemplated phrase in the context of eating well, conjures up the ringing of the school lunch bell; a loud sound inspiring glee and class dismissal. Presently, when the clocks strikes midday, there is a universal understanding that it’s about time, give or take an hour, to stop working in order to have a meal. Whether most immediately heed the call is another story.
The distinct sound of the proverbial lunch bell in has become harder to hear as deadlines and obligations peak. With action-packed schedules, it has become easy to delay mealtime or even worse, to allow tasks to eat up our time instead of sitting down at the lunch table to nourish and recharge mind and body. Unfortunately, to keep productivity high, some people favor putting their midday meal on hold. Only bathroom breaks remain a high priority. Sadly, getting stuff done has become more important than supporting the body that generates the power to make things happen.
Being too busy for a well conceived meal is highly overrated. Eating a proper lunch can be the key to supporting a productivity-filled afternoon fueled by energy that will not wane.
– World Health Organization (WHO).
A secret weapon to ensuring the body is fueled on high octane instead of running on breakfast fumes is to ‘brown bag’ it – take a packed meal from home. Utilize your lunch break to be healthy and to recharge.
Toting your lunch gives you more control over food choices, and it doesn’t take much time or creativity to plan ahead. Your homemade lunch will likely be cheaper and provide more bang for your nutrient buck than what you might purchase.
Don’t forget about leftovers. Re-purposing those delicious bits and pieces from dinner last night can provide real comfort food in the middle of a time-strapped day. If you are the designated cook at home, think about how you might incorporate leftovers into tomorrow's lunch. As you prepare to store leftover food at night, consider packing it into travel containers before it reaches the fridge.
Why it matters to avoid plastic bags and containers and instead replace them with smart, sustainable solutions.
Every day, 20 million plastic sandwich bags (almost 7.5 billion per year) and countless other single-use plastic items (containing chemicals that can be absorbed by our bodies) are dumped into oceans and landfills.
Wraps are an easy and quick healthy out-the-door meal.
Tightly rolls up the wrap, folding in the left and right sides like a burrito.
Wrap the toll in wax paper or foil. Slip into your lunch box or knapsack.
Lunch Tip: Eat lunch within 4 hours of breakfast, particularly if you don’t snack in between.
Food choices are a major influence on productivity level during the day. Give in to the idea that at lunch and every meal, we get to choose how we are going feel and perform based on the vital food choices set before us. A healthy lunch in the middle of an insane day could make you unstoppable. Ring that bell!
I loved discovering grain-free granola. Eating granola without grains in the ingredient list is my preference now. I feel lighter after eating it, and it offers me considerably more staying power (sustained energy) until my next meal. When feeling adventurous, I like to make my own granola with minimal ingredients including unrefined coconut oil. This granola is delicious over fresh berries and yogurt.
Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 180°F. 2. Chop Brazil nuts and pecans in a food processor. Mix in a bowl with all the other nuts, seeds, and coconut flakes. 3. Combine melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well-coated. 4. Place in the oven to cook for 30 minutes.
And if you don't feel like preparing Grain-free granola at home , my current favorite grain-less granola on store shelves from Paleonola tastes it like it came from your oven!
Who can resist a healthy breakfast that resembles a soft-serve bowl of ice cream?
I add Paleonola religiously to my morning bowls with dairy-free yogurt and frozen/fresh/dried fruit depending upon the season. Plant perfect.
Calorie counting is a vicious cycle. Restrict calorie intake too much and your body thinks it's being starved.
The stress hormone cortisol comes out to play interference. It can sabotage the best intended weight loss efforts. It can support fat storage, suppress the immune system, and cause an energy deficit (fatigue).
Cravings kick in. Metabolism stalls and you get hungrier.
Eating delicious plant-pure food won't trigger cravings. It will support sustained weight loss, a balanced mood, higher energy levels (without peaks and valleys) and an intense motivation to repeat.
Bonus: We know now that lifestyle change, namely eating a plant-based diet, can prevent 80% of chronic lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer etc.
Sometimes it’s just easier to order in when time is short and there are mouths to feed. Takeout from a neighborhood Chinese restaurant seems like a safe bet health-wise, especially when ordering off the section of the menu now catering to the calorie-conscious. The fine print indicates that select dishes can be steamed instead of sautéed, with the sauce delivered on the side if you desire. So, what about that secret sauce? Typically loaded with processed oil, refined sugar and added salt, the sauce packs a knockout punch calorically. The cost to your health (not to mention your wallet) is reason to try this one at home – the fakeout take out.
Have a look in your green grocer’s freezer. Pre-cooked multi-grain medleys have arrived to kick-start a snappy stir-fry you can have on your table in minutes. Trader Joe’s Multi-Grain Blend with Vegetables is a savory combination of barley, spelt and whole grain rice paired with peas, corn, carrots and zucchini. And new to Whole Foods Market are the Engine 2 PlantstrongTM Grain Medleys, my favorite of which is the Morning Blend, a chewy mix of wheat berries, farro, black barley and golden raisins which cooks up fast at lunch and dinner too.
These whole grain blends really don’t require a recipe. You can cook them in a wok, sauté or fry pan, according to the instructions, and add your own (cooked and raw) mix-ins or toppings.
Raw vegetables: cucumber, bell pepper, shredded carrots or sprouts. I like to toss the hot grain dish over raw spinach. It relaxes the greens quickly and the nutrient profile remains intact.
Flavored balsamic vinegars or a simple Asian-style sauce made with equal parts low sodium tamari, maple syrup and sesame seeds. A little goes a long way.
With a tiny bit of creativity in the kitchen, eating healthy and deliciously in no time can be habit forming.
Mom's Vegetarian Mock Chopped Liver comes out perfectly with frozen vegetables, so whether greens beans and peas are in season or not, this plant-strong recipe can be part of your healthy eating arsenal!
A group of health-seekers in Scarsdale, NY joined me yesterday at the Scarsdale Public Library for a special screening of the film Forks Over Knives, the thought-provoking film that examines the notion that lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, cancer and others can be controlled and often reversed eating a diet which eliminates animal-based foods and highly processed, often packaged foods.
I hopped on board to share the power of plant-powered eating this film espouses and promised guests I would post recipes for the wildly popular Vegetarian Pate served as refreshment there. Hoping this recipes inspires more cooking, baking and eating the plant-powered way, as it does me, whenever I prepare it.
Keep in mind that in this film, all oils are removed from the diet to promote optimal health. In the case of olive oil, one could say that you are better off eating the whole olive than the processed oil extracted from the olive. My goal in sharing this recipe is to show that even simply reducing the amount of oil we eat daily, and experimenting with new recipes which feature less oil or no oil, is a step in the right direction. Some people will dive head first into the no-oil preparations suggestions while others will need to take baby steps to consider oil-free an option. My Vegetable Pate recipe can be adapted to both styles of healthy eating. For the #30DaysofGreen challenge on www.PlantPureCommunities.com in the month of April (2017), the goal is to go oil-free, so this recipe complies with whole food, no-oil parameters.
For no-oil version, start by heating a cast-iron or ceramic pan. I love the Italian Moneta pan for water sautéing.
Add chopped raw onions to a searing hot pan without any preliminary coating of the pan with oil. Keep the onions in motion by moving the pan. I prefer this over stirring the onions for best results. When the onions are transparent, toss them with a splash or two of vegetable stock, coconut water, juice or plain ol' water, and allow the onions to just absorb the liquid. Keep shaking the pan periodically. Turn off the heat and allow sautéed onions to settle.
Combine ingredients: green beans, peas, almonds, walnuts, bouillion and onions in food processor. Process and chill.
This vegetable pate is delicious served with healthy tortilla chip options. For impromptu entertaining, cut-up fresh seasonal raw veggies with this simple, fast food recipe. Spooned over a salad, instead of dressing, or placed atop a veggie burgers are alternative ways to spoil guests and yourself.
Great-tasting food with whole food, plant-based, no oil benefits is a win-win. Multiple times a day, we have an opportunity to influence our physical and emotional health eating food with the most bang for your nutrient buck.
Visit my Pinterest page and POWER GREENS board at http://pinterest.com/ronnacorlin/ for more greens recipe ideas. The traditional medical system doesn't give us the power that eating more whole foods, especially greens, dishes out.
Eat more plants and prosper!!
Saying goodbye to summertime and all of its' sweet offerings is never easy. Labor day is near and back-to-school preparations are in full swing. Outdoor pools promise to close in a few days, while piles of freshly picked corn are shrinking fast. Towers of boxed summer blueberries at irresistible prices are no more. I'm so glad I loaded up my shopping cart with an absurd number of boxes of organic blueberries at Trader Joes in late July. I can hardly close my freezer door, but my mornings are merrier when this seasonal favorite shows up in my oatmeal bowl, on salads and in the blender when a craving for 'nice' cream hits.
Good to see whole watermelons are still available in the produce aisle. I realize that pre-cut watermelon to-go has become an almost year round commodity in markets. However it just can't compare to selecting a melon, smelling it, knocking on it to check for ripeness and lowering that baby into my shopping cart.
I love to blend fresh watermelon in a high performance blender and pour it into a glass with some fresh basil. Cutting it up with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of lime zest is most refreshing. Sometimes a special recipe comes along that captures a season in one bite. That is surely the case with this sweet, tangy Watermelon Salsa.
Served with tortilla chips, over a salad, a main dish or just as a side dish, this flavor of cool summer days is worth preserving as long as supplies last!
Combine watermelon, cucumber, onion, jalapeno, herbs and lime juice in a bowl. Add salt. Chill well before serving.
So often, when I hear or read the words mindful eating, I am somehow repelled by it. Odd for a health coach right? I think the subject is very important, in terms of preventing its’ polar opposite -- mindless eating; eating unconsciously and somewhere in the past or future. Perhaps it’s because in younger years I was a mindless stress eater. I wouldn’t typically check out when I ate nutritious foods but once around the sugary treats I was swept away and lost track of the moment. I know there have been times when I have been checked out while multi-tasking, busy on the computer or immersed in busyness on a digital device. Back in grade school, I vividly recall that I would park myself outside the kitchen freezer door armed with a quart of Oreo® ice cream and a spoon. I realize now that I was living on auto-pilot in those moments. Nobody was consciously at the wheel. To this day, when I read about eating mindfully in books and articles online, the subject tugs at those lucid memories.
As a nutrition educator, these years later, I approach the subject of conscious eating with renewed interest given new tools. This concept of being present to what and how we eat first came to me when I started eating with nutrient density top of mind. I got off meat and poultry and most dairy products, quit refined sugar and caffeine and reduced my gluten intake. at the same time I significantly ramped up my intake of vegetables – especially micronutrient-rich dark leafy greens. In the process, intense cravings faded, my taste buds were reborn and I became so excited by the delicious food I was preparing and eating and how it made me feel that I grew passionately committed to creating a sacred space at mealtime and being infinitely present in it. The idea that I would no longer have to diet, count calories, feel deprived, overthink protein and chase my blood sugar with a snack every few hours freed me to stay present more. I would eat mindfully now without thinking about it. I wonder in this writing if this is a contradiction in terms! Not really. Eating real, whole, plant-based food has actually slowed me down. It grounds me in the now.
This book HOW TO EAT inspires my path. It’s a neat little read filled with big ideas. Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh illuminates on the mindful practice of selecting the food we eat, peaceful meal prep, zen cooking strategies, the nourishing art of eating, mindful mealtime conversation and dishwashing as meditation.
The actual act of mindful eating makes a lot of sense to me in terms of the importance of being conscious and present when we eat. It clearly feels a lot better and tastes a lot better to be fully in the moment when eating. I just have a hard time listening to all the mindfulness eating jargon out there today. All the rules of eating mindfully, while valid are still rules. I don't eat according to rules anymore.
I like the idea of eating like a yogi - seeped in ideas of slowing down when we eat, making a ritual of healthy cooking with real ingredients and being nourished by food mind, body and spirit. Food is afterall fuel, and the state in which we find ourselves at mealtime inevitably lays a foundation for the rest of our day (and into tomorrow.) Often too busy to eat lunch, we might wind up gobbling down an energy bar in haste chased shortly after by a cup of coffee. This can lead to an afternoon and evening that’s far different by design than one that runs on brown-bagged leftovers from last night’s Ginger Vegetable Stir-fry and simply brewed unsweetened iced tea. Energy and stress levels, mood and the way we move in the world is directly influenced by the grade of fuel we choose to put in our tank.
I recently attended a local workshop called How to Eat Like a Modern Yogi given by Maria Savarino, a Certified Yoga Instructor. Maria shared the importance of proper diet for mind, body and spirit. A yogi with some sharp plant-based cooking skills in the kitchen, Maria talked about balancing yogic values and nutritional needs. She emphasized how the foods which nourish our body are instrumental in creating our thoughts and emotions too.
My favorite illustration of yogic eating was the preparation of Maria’s Acorn Squash Chocolate Karma Cake. Just the name makes me want to preheat my oven!
This moist, nutrient-rich recipe combines healthy grains, seeds, spices, nuts in the form of milk and a nut meal, seasonal vegetables, alternative flour and other whole ingredients.
Acorn Squash Chocolate Karma Cake: A very moist and healthy cake.
Oven 350 Degrees 35 – 45 Minutes: check with a toothpick at center: if no ingredients are left on toothpick, cake is done.
Add all the ingredients to an oil lined deep dish baking pan: ceramic or metal. Depending on your pan, you may wish to line the pan with baking paper, cut to size, on top of the oil lined pan, and then it is easier flip the cake once cooled.
Maria’s business is Yoga Touch in Westchester County in New York.
Here’s to eating with a present mind so you can savor every flavor and be fully nourished daily. Namaste.
The Best Part of Waking Up - Scoot Over Folgers!
I woke up this morning and decided to alter my standard wake-up routine. Typically, guilty of reaching for my Smartphone within arm's reach of my bed, I will check breaking overnight news and social media before my bare feet hit the floor. I will grab the television remote to switch on my morning news program while heading to the front door to pick up the daily paper waiting outside. As soon as I rise, and before filling my belly, I’ll stuff my head with noise and begin a long march of multi-tasking all day long. Today, I decided, was going to be different.
Could I spend the first fifteen minutes of my day differently, I wondered, and throw opposing intentions into the universe to recalibrate my day? What could I do to get grounded and energize myself before my morning herbal Joe?
This in mind, I glanced at the clock sitting on my night table and committed to ease into this day - at least the first fifteen minutes of it, more mindfully. It was in that spirit that I began to slow things down. After sipping the glass of water sitting on my nightstand, I had a moment of gratitude for my ability to break with routine. Then, instead of my cell phone, I reached for a bottle at the edge of my headboard - a bottle of Tangerine essential oil. As the scent of citrus, especially upon rising, is widely known to be invigorating, I inhaled the open bottle like my life depended on it. I noticed the bottle said the word 'Cheering' on it – indeed.
Next, I slid into a pair of specially constructed slippers hiding in the back of my closet that slid between my tired toes. They made my sleepy feet so happy. Then, while sitting on the edge of my bed with my feet firmly planted in the moment, I made a conscious decision to limit my thoughts strictly to my present activities. No list making, no worrying about imperatives of the day - just being for the duration of this alternative rise & shine.
I took a few moments to stare out of my bedroom window. This luxury is usually reserved for weekends. Staring into the trees, duck pond and golf course beyond my window, it all seemed routine. But as I allowed a couple peaceful moments to pass to really take in what was in front of me, I noticed that the tree right before my eyes was bursting with beautiful red buds. I had not noticed that this weekend and had looked out this window more than once. In the stillness of this experiment I had already sharpened my view.
Other activities this morning included ringing a favorite set of chimes. The sound was so pure and enlightening. I placed a heaping spoonful of extra virgin coconut oil in my mouth to get in some oil pulling, refreshed my face with a Rosewater mist and my lips with a calming lip balm boasting eight organic oils. Up next was dry brushing.
Off to the kitchen I went to heat some filtered water and add the juice of 1/2 of a freshly-squeezed lemon to get the digestive juices flowing.
Before I knew it time was up. I felt unhurried, calm, refreshed, invigorated and ready to take on the day. What this made me realize is that we can either create our own chaos when we awaken or we can opt to stop, smell the flowers and build an arsenal of good vibrations to jumpstart the day. Those first minutes of activity or inactivity are crucial.
Turns out I didn't miss a thing on my phone that wouldn't be there after taking time to recharge my personal battery. Quiet time really is the best part of waking up. The world meets us very differently in that stillness. And if we are lucky, it seeps into our day.

Data collection happens at every ethanol plant. However, the most successful production facilities use that information to increase efficiency and profitability. This webinar will include presentations from several companies that offer the industry software to aggregate and, or, analyze data. Sabrina Trupia of the National Corn-to-Ethanol Research Center will also speak about just how important it is to harness ethanol plant data.

Pension disputes are fertile ground for class actions. Where one member of a plan may not think it economic to bring a claim relating to the terms of that plan, a class action allows one plaintiff and one class action lawyer to aggregate all of these members’ claims into one proceeding. Given the monetary value of pension plans in Canada today, it can be expected that more and more pension disputes will be decided in the context of a class action.

Classically-activated oncogene targets have been a mainstay of cancer drug discovery for the past 15 years, but the druggable targets in this category have been largely mined out.
Future efforts to drug the cancer genome must take synthetic lethal approaches exploiting vulnerabilities opened up by tumour suppressor mutations. As many cancers do not have enough mutations for immuno-oncology approaches to be fruitful, this area will likely become one of the foremost approaches to cancer drug discovery.
The term Synthetic lethality is 70 years old this year, being coined by Theodosius Dobzhansky (Figure 1) to describe lethal interactions between different genes in field populations of Drosophila (1).
The concept itself is slightly older, having been described by Calvin Bridges some 25 years earlier (2). Synthetic lethality in developmental biology can be understood in the context of evolution selecting for resilience against environmental or genetic stress. The developmental biologist and philosopher C.H. Waddington viewed this phenotypic resilience to be distinct from the engineering term of robustness.
In 1942, he introduced the concept of canalisation (3) as development proceeding through a river valley enclosed by high ridges, safely guiding the phenotype to its ‘fate’. In dynamical systems theory a wild-type like phenotype can be viewed as an attractor, where via interacting positive and negative feedback loops most deviations from the main road still lead to Rome.
Looking at PubMed citations (Figure 2) the interest in the topic can be seen taking off in the mid 1990s, but the last 10 years have seen an explosion of papers focussing on synthetic lethality in Cancer. How did we get here?
Yeast genetics held high prestige in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Leland Hartwell, Paul Nurse and many others motivated to better understand how cells replicate their DNA and segregate it into two daughters realised the speed at which fundamental advances could be made in this easily manipulated system. A series of clever experiments identified the main players that drove cell cycle progression and also the ‘checkpoint’ mechanisms that co-ordinated the various steps.
Other yeast geneticists were using synthetic lethal screens to place genes in pathways and to understand mechanisms of redundancy. Meanwhile in cancer biology, the concepts of dominantly acting oncogenes and recessive tumour suppressors had been advanced and it was understood that certain tumour suppressors such as ATM and MSH2 had clear functi onal homologs in yeast. It was also understood that mutations in similar genes conferred striking sensitivities to existing cancer drugs to the affected yeast.
The stage was thus set for Hartwell et al (4) to propose that genetic approaches be integrated into the discovery of anticancer drugs (Figure 3).
In 1997, functional genetic approaches in mammalian systems were rudimentary: making a knockout in somatic cells or a mouse was labour-intensive and time-consuming. The proposal that model organisms with tractable genetics be used to find targets made sense: conservation of function across biology meant there was a good chance that a mutation in yeast would create similar dependencies on other genes as it might in cancer cells.
Genes mutated in cancer provide some sort of proliferation/ survival advantage but could also reduce phenotypic resilience, opening up vulnerabilities that untransformed cells do not have. Synthetic lethal screens to find targets exploiting vulnerabilities created by mutations in tumour suppressor genes were feasible in yeast and Drosophila, but completely unrealistic in mammalian cells.
It is not clear whether there was any significant effort to follow this advice in the pharma industry. This was the dawn of the age of molecular targets and there were ample dominant gain of function targets to pursue in BCR-ABL, EGFR and HER2 (where an antibody approach had already been fruitful). However, while there was a lack of functional genomic approaches in mammalian cells suitable for screening, screening compound libraries was highly tractable via high throughput screening.
Two papers published in 2001 and 2003 reported screens that identified small molecules exhibiting selective toxicity in the KRAS mutant member of an isogenic pair (5,6). While KRAS is an oncogene rather than a tumour suppressor, oncogenic mutations tend to inhibit its catalytic cycle and direct drugging of KRAS has proved exceptionally challenging.
At this point the way was opening towards functional genomics in human cells with the realisation that short interfering RNAs could fly under the radar of PKR activation and enable the RNA interference mechanism to be exploited in mammalian cells (7). Pooled retroviral/lentiviral shRNA screening approaches (8) followed soon after in 2004.
Such pooled screening approaches collapsed the costs of hypothesis free synthetic lethal screens making them possible (if not advisable) to perform on a genome-wide scale. Initially these screens tracked the abundance of barcodes read on microarrays, but advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing later enabled the actual shRNA sequence to be used as a tracking barcode (Figure 4).
But what proved to be the big breakthrough for synthetic lethal field came not from a fishing expedition to find new targets but from hypothesis testing. In the early 2000s several industry groups were investigating PARP inhibitors for their ability to inhibit DNA repair and synergise with conventional anticancer cytotoxics. These efforts were built on more than 20 years of academic research. PARP function was known to be vital for base excision repair, the key mechanism for repairing single-stranded breaks.
In the absence of PARP activity such lesions persist until repaired by homologous recombination. The tumour suppressors BRCA1 and BRCA2 were known to be required for DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination. Two UKbased groups then had the idea of testing whether PARP inhibitors would exhibit enhanced singleagent activity in BRCA mutant cells (9,10). These cells proved spectacularly more sensitive to PARP inhibitors than normal cells or cancer cells without mutations in this pathway: up to 1,000-fold sensitivity could be demonstrated in vitro.
The archetypal PARP inhibitor, olaparib (AstraZeneca) was approved for the therapy of heavily-treated BRCA-mutated ovarian cancers in late 2014, but its path through the clinic was not completely straightforward (11,12) and it has yet to be approved for breast cancer therapy. Phase I trials began in 2005 and the compound found to have activity in advanced breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. In Phase II, activity was seen in ovarian cancer patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and also in a number of patients without such mutations.
There were initially doubts about the duration of survival benefit, but a subset analysis of the BRCA1/BRCA2 mutated population demonstrated that olaparib treatment made a clear difference to longevity, triggering a pair of Phase III trials starting in early 2013 and approval some 18 months later. One lesson that could be drawn from this is that initial Phase II trials for agents such as olaparib should be run separately in a tightly-defined patient population. Less focused trials aimed at maximising commercial and therapeutic potential should perhaps be run later, at the same time as the Phase III trial in the primary patient group.
BRCA1 and 2 mutations are present in only a relative low fraction of cancers. The tumour suppressor that dominates the cancer driver gene landscape is p53: 42% of all cancers in the TCGA analysis have a TP53 mutation (13), making p53 mutant cancer some 10x more abundant than BRCA1/BRCA2 mutant neoplasms. p53 is a complex protein that acts as a tumour suppressor, and cannot be drugged directly (though a fraction of patients with temperature sensitive p53 mutations could benefit from a drug that stabilised the protein leading to restoration of function and death).
So how have synthetic lethal approaches to exploiting TP53 mutations fared?
Hypothesis-testing approaches have been predominant in TP53 synthetic lethal research, in particular the concept of using inhibitors of CHK1 in combination with chemotherapy. This hypothesis rests on the assumption that entry into mitosis with damaged DNA is fatal and that normal cells have redundant pathways to prevent this happening.
One pathway involves p53-mediated induction of CDKN2A in response to DNA damage, arresting cell cycle progression by the CDKN1A gene product, p21, binding and inhibiting S-phase promoting CDK/cyclin complexes. The other involves ATRmediated activation of CHK1 in response to DNA damage, with CHK1 phosphorylating and inactivating the CDC25 phosphatase, which governs activation of M-phase promoting CDK/cyclins. In cancer cells, p53 is often non-functional and such cells may rely on CHK1 for survival in the face of DNA damage (Figure 5).
Many pharma/biotech research programmes have sought CHK1 inhibitors and several compounds have advanced into the clinic, at least one into Phase II. While there is some pre-clinical data to support the hypothesis of using CHK1 inhibitors in TP53 mutant cancers (14), p53 mutations do not appear to be a good biomarker for a cancers response to CHK1 inhibition. The most advanced clinical trials of Chk1 inhibitors now appear focused on BRCA1/2 mutations.
ATR, is also important for the response to DNA damage and several companies have developed ATR inhibitors that have progressed into the clinic. The evidence for synthetic lethality between TP53 mutations and ATR inhibition appears a little stronger than for Chk1 inhibition (15) and one of the Phase II trials for VX-970 has the near universally TP53 mutant ovarian cancer as a focus.
However, TP53 mutant cancers are not the only indication under investigation for this compound. The pharma industry’s investment in ATR and CHK1 inhibitors could be categorised as a flight to the apparent safety of the familiar: CHK1 and ATR were prominent in the basic mammalian cell cycle research community between 2000-05, so there was good science behind the targets. However, the literature indicates both ATR and CHK1 are essential in mammalian cells and therefore one should have anticipated that the therapeutic window for CHK1 and ATR inhibitors would be narrow at best.
Is there a needle in the KRAS haystack?
RNA interference screens have been a prominent approach to the search for synthetic lethal targets for cancers with KRAS mutations. Given the frequency of KRAS mutations in some cancers with high medical need (13) (eg ~40% of colorectal cancers and 25% of lung adenocarcinomas) an effective molecularly targeted agent for these cancers could be a massive therapeutic and commercial success. The obvious strategy of targeting downstream effectors has yet to prove successful, so screens aimed at defining unexpected dependencies make considerable sense.
In 2009, two protein kinases were advanced as potential synthetic lethal targets for cells bearing KRAS mutations, STK33 and TBK1. STK33 was identified in an shRNA screen as specifically essential in KRAS-dependent cells, where it acted to prevent BAD induction and apoptosis (16). However, follow up experiments by another group using siRNA, dominant mutant overexpression and small molecule inhibitors could find no support for the original hypothesis (17).
TBK1 was also identified as a KRAS synthetic lethal target by the same group (18) and again the proposed MOA was that mutant KRAS stimulated pro-apoptotic signalling, which TBK1 was required to suppress. A detailed mode-of-action study has since been reported on compounds that inhibit TBK1, which claims that autocrine signalling via CCL5 and IL6 maintains the viability of KRAS mutant cells (19). However, scepticism will still remain regarding these claims until there is independent verification of the results with additional TBK inhibitors.
There have been persistent claims that KRAS mutant cancers exhibit intrinsic genotoxic stress and therefore some prospect of this vulnerability being exploited by checkpoint inhibitors. Dietlein et al (20) recently combined CHK1 inhibitors with inhibitors of the less-prominent kinase MK2, which acts in parallel and applied the combination to a panel of 96 cancer cells cultured in vitro. Interestingly, synergy between the CHK1 and MK2 inhibitors was found only in cancers bearing activating KRAS, activating BRAF or loss-of-function mutations in CDKN2A. Moreover, the synergistic effect of CHK1 and MK2 inhibitors was validated in multiple xenograft models.
The RAS biology expert Julian Downward recently summarised the various published screens for RAS synthetic lethality targets, which have highlighted far more candidates than STK33 and TBK1, as being most notable for the low degree of overlap between results (21).
This is not atypical for the technology, as a previous article by Bhinder and Djaballah in this journal has noted (22): notoriously, three different groups reported results of RNA interference screens searching for host factors required for HIV infection each listing 300 genes. Only three targets were shared, and these did not include the known co-receptor CCR5. There are two basic issues with RNA interference: incomplete knockdown and off-target effects and together these contribute to severe contamination of results with false negatives and false positives.
Can RNA interference find real genetic interactions?
Even Bhinder and Djaballah (22) thought there was value in RNA interference screening. Their article expressed cautious optimism that its flaws could be largely overcome via data transparency and stringent standards for hit nomination. Such standards have arguably been applied to some recent synthetic lethal screens performed to find novel targets for the epigenetic tumour suppressors SMARCA4 and ARID1A, both members of the SWI/SNF complex.
Hoffman et al (23) screened an epigenome-focused 17 shRNA/gene library across 58 cancer cell lines and identified SMARCA2, a paralogous protein as being essential for the growth of tumour cells harbouring loss of function mutations in SMARCA4. Similarly, Helming et al (24) reported that ARID1B was selectively required in cancer cells bearing inactivating mutations in ARID1A.
These synthetic lethal relationships make perfect sense: ARID1A and ARID1B are mutually exclusive members of the SWI/SNF complex, as are SMARCA4 and SMARCA2. Screens were not really necessary to uncover these dependencies: they were highly predictable based on the biology of the mutated tumour suppressors and these paralogous proteins may not be the best targets for therapies. While it is not unreasonable to say this concept of ‘cancerselective paralog dependency (23)’ provides a strategy for targeting tumour suppressors, it does not seem to provide a general solution.
The explosive entry of CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing on to the target identification and validation stage has been recently chronicled in this journal (25) and others (26,27). Almost as soon as RNAmediated gene editing was shown to be possible, the previous infrastructure associated with shRNA screening was adapted for large-scale knockout screening. The orthogonal nature and different mode of action of CRISPR-Cas9 perfectly complements RNA interference, but the technology has considerable advantages. Most significantly, gene editing will lead to the complete inactivation of a target, so the issue of incomplete knockdown that plague RNA interference can be overcome.
However, a sizeable fraction of Cas9-mediated cuts in genomic DNA are repaired to yield small inframe insertion and deletion (or substitution) mutants, which means that an edited population will not have a unimodal phenotype and will generally be a mix between homozygous and heterozygous knockouts, mixed with a few unedited cells. This factor confounds negative selection CRISPR screens, limiting the level of drop-out that can be expected when an essential gene is targeted, unless a library is especially designed to target functional domains where any mutation will prove deleterious to function (28).
While screening follow-up pipelines can be devised to cope with this issue, we have yet to see the fruits of such an endeavour. The majority of published CRISPR screens have been in the easier mode of positive selection: identifying drug-resistance genes (29), factors promoting metastasis (30), or phenotypes for which a population of interest can be sorted by flow cytometry (31). Only one paper to date reports a large CRISPR screen on multiple cell lines (32), but it is clear that many such studies are in the pipeline. Indeed, we are conducting our own at Horizon Discovery.
The five cell lines screened by Hart et al (32) are clearly not sufficient for identifying novel synthetic lethal targets for undruggable tumour suppressors. The use of isogenic cells that only differ in terms of a single mutation of interest is superficially attractive in reducing the size and increasing the clarity of experiments, but suffers from the concern that introducing or deleting a mutation from a cancer cell line in culture does not recapitulate the evolutionary history of tumour cells and so cannot really be expected to reveal every genotype specific vulnerability that would be observed in ‘real’ cancers.
Instead it seems that screening must be performed in panels of cells. There are good arguments for reducing the size of libraries screened as this allows a corresponding increase in the number of cell lines that can be interrogated.
Validation will be key to sorting the wheat from the chaff in these screens: the Vakoc group’s insight that sgRNAs targeted to disrupt important surfaces of proteins drop out far more than their general counterparts provides a natural next-step of follow-up pooled screening. Moreover, knowledge gleaned from the earlier generation of ZFN- and TALEN-mediated gene editing technology has led to the orthogonal approach of CRISPRi, employing enzymatically-inactive Cas9 as an RNA-directed DNA binding protein that can be fused to transcriptional repressors to block transcription (33).
CRISPRi provides a technology with similar features to RNA interference, but acts via blocking RNA expression rather than mediating RNA stability. CRISPRi will prove an invaluable addition to the target validation toolbox.
In conclusion, the prospects for the identification of novel, tractable, synthetic lethal targets are now bright. We can avoid the missteps of the RNA interference era and can expect to go from the current view of targets as through a glass darkly to a clearer vision. While enormous attention is currently focused on immuno-oncology it very much looks like a large fraction of cancers will not have the mutation load that enables their selective elimination by anti-PD1 activated T cells and related approaches (Figure 6).
Considering pan-cancer mutation frequency, the landscape is dominated by tumour suppressors and undruggable oncogenes (Figure 7).

Speaking to Sky, the captain analyses Wednesday evening’s defeat to Olympiacos and looks ahead to putting matters right against Palermo on Sunday: “We know that the team has the ability to bounce back from this disappointment"
Gianluigi Buffon expects his Juventus side to regain their pre-international break form when Palermo visit Turin on Sunday.
The Bianconeri go into the game following yesterday evening’s 1-0 defeat away at Olympiacos, their second successive Champions League reverse of the season.
Wednesday’s result did not tell the whole story, however, with opposite number Roberto having to pull off some stellar saves to keep the visitors at bay.
Buffon, who recently received his 145th cap for the Italian national side, spoke to Sky earlier today and began the interview by giving his reaction to a disappointing night in Greece: “The bitter taste we have in our mouths today is one of regret. A positive result was in our reach and we deserved to get it.
Yet Buffon did credit his side for their response to falling a goal behind: “Olympiacos looked spent in the final half hour after giving it their all for the most part. But regardless of the talk on opposing goalkeepers, you need a reaction from your side and to see them ask questions of the opposition, and Juve showed just that last night.
Birthday boy Alvaro Morata made his first start as a Juventus player in Piraeus and Buffon praised the 22-year-old for the impressive way he led the line.
Turning his attentions to league matters, the 36-year-old is confident the Bianconeri can regain their stride when they entertain Palermo this weekend.
He concluded: “We’re hungry to return to our pre-international break form. It was an important period in which we grew as a team, and I count the defeat against Atletico as part of that.

Romaine Sawyers will remember his 16 minutes of action for more than the freezing temperatures. Introduced from the substitute’s bench with orders to win the match, he almost did just that with a wickedly swerving shots that was foiled by a sensational save from Middlesbrough goalkeeper Darren Randolph.
Unfortunately then the St Kitts and Nevis international then earned a yellow card for an apparently pre-meditated body check on the visitor’s distinctly nimble goalscorer Adama Traore. And six minutes later he was adjudged guilty of exactly the same offence that merited the red card coming out of referee Simon Hooper’s pocket.

"Christian revelation presents the two vocations to love: marriage and virginity. In some societies today, not only marriage and the family, but also vocations to the priesthood and the religious life, are often in a state of crisis. The two situations are inseparable: "When marriage is not esteemed, neither can consecrated virginity or celibacy exist; when human sexuality is not regarded as a great value given by the Creator, the renunciation of it for the sake of the kingdom of heaven loses its meaning". A lack of vocations follows from the breakdown of the family, yet where parents are generous in welcoming life, children will be more likely to be generous when it comes to the question of offering themselves to God: "Families must once again express a generous love for life and place themselves at its service above all by accepting the children which the Lord wants to give them with a sense of responsibility not detached from peaceful trust", and they may bring this acceptance to fulfilment not only "through a continuing educational effort but also through an obligatory commitment, at times perhaps neglected, to help teenagers especially and young people to accept the vocational dimension of every living being, within God's plan... Human life acquires fullness when it becomes a self-gift: a gift which can express itself in matrimony, in consecrated virginity, in self-dedication to one's neighbour towards an ideal, or in the choice of priestly ministry. Parents will truly serve the life of their children if they help them make their own lives a gift, respecting their mature choices and fostering joyfully each vocation, including the religious and priestly one"."

Giuseppe Cacace/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- There's another Toyota recall for sticky pedals -- this time for the automaker's high-end 2010 Lexus models.
The problem is similar to Toyota's floor mat/gas pedal recall two years ago, when drivers complained that the accelerator could get stuck under the floor mat. Now the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says a similar issue is happening with 2010 Lexus RX350 and RX 450h models.
The government has ordered an immediate recall of approximately 154,000 vehicles and is investigating why Toyota didn't warn drivers after getting many complaints.
TED ALJIBE/AFP/Getty Images(TORRANCE, Calif.) -- Toyota announced Wednesday it is recalling more than 400,000 vehicles, citing a problem with the crankshaft pulley that could lead to difficulty in steering.
The voluntary recall affects 283,200 Toyota and 137,000 Lexus vehicles with V6 engines, including the 2004 Avalon, 2004 and 2005 Camry, 2006 Highlander HV, 2006 RX400h, and 2004 and 2005 ES330, among others.
The automaker says "the outer ring of the crankshaft pulley may become misaligned with the inner ring," and if this isn't corrected, "the belt for the power steering pump may become detached from the pulley and the driver may notice a sudden increase in steering effort."
No injuries have been reported from the defect, according to Toyota.
The company will begin notifying car owners of the recall in January. The automaker is currently working on acquiring the necessary replacement parts.
TED ALJIBE/AFP/Getty Images(TORRANCE, Calif.) -- Toyota announced Wednesday it is voluntarily recalling 45,500 Highlander Hybrid and 36,700 Lexus RX 400h vehicles, citing faulty transistors in the control boards.
The recall applies to model years 2006 and 2007 vehicles sold in the U.S.
The Japanese automaker says some of the transistors in the recalled models were inadequately soldered and could be damaged by heat. Should this happen, affected vehicles would most likely enter a fail-safe driving mode, leading to a reduction in power. The vehicles can still be driven, but only for short distances.
Owners of the affected models will be notified by mail in mid-July. They will then be notified again when the necessary replacement parts become available. Toyota is currently working on acquiring an adequate number of parts.
Fstop/Photodisc/Getty Images(ARLINGTON, Va.) -- The number of small cars that have been named Top Safety Picks by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety grew to 22 Thursday, when the organization announced the latest vehicles to earn the prize.
After evaluating 13 small cars, the IIHS awarded the top crash-test rating to six models: the 2012 Ford Focus and Honda Civic, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra, Lexus CT 200h, Nissan Juke, and Toyota Prius.
Dodge Caliber, Honda CR-Z and Insight, Nissan's Sentra and Versa, Scion xD, and Suzuki SX4 were also tested but they were not named Top Safety Picks.
Photo Courtesy - Ted Aljibe/AFP/Getty Images(TORRANCE, Calif.) -- Toyota Motor Corp. announced three separate recalls Wednesday affecting close to 1.7 million vehicles sold in the U.S. and worldwide.
The Japanese automaker issued a voluntary safety recall for nearly 245,000 Lexus models sold in the U.S. between 2006 and 2008, citing a problem with the installation of fuel pressure sensors. Toyota says the pressure sensors may not be sufficiently tightened, posing a risk for fuel leakage if the sensors loosen over time. The vehicles affected include Lexus GS and IS models.
Owners of the affected models will be notified of the recall by mail. If a fuel leak is found, Lexus dealers will make the proper repairs free of charge.
Worldwide, Toyota is recalling about 1.3 million vehicles sold in Japan over a problem with a fuel delivery pipe and high-pressure fuel pump check valve. The models affected by this recall include the Noah subcompact, RAV4 sport-utility vehicle, and Wish cars.
The automaker is also recalling 141,000 Avensis cars sold in Europe and New Zealand citing irregular fuel pipes that increase the likelihood of cracks and further leakage.
No accidents related to any of these leakage problems have been reported so far, according to Toyota spokesman Paul Nolasco.
Photo Courtesy -- Toyota(LOS ANGELES) – Toyota has reached a $10 million settlement with the relatives of four people who were killed in a crash last year in San Diego after the Lexus they were driving suddenly accelerated, reports the Los Angeles Times.
The crash, which claimed the lives of a California Highway Patrol officer and three of his family members, launched Toyota onto the national stage and was followed by a series of safety recalls.
The settlement was first announced in September, but the amount had not been disclosed due to requests from the families and Toyota. A Superior Court judge, however, denied the requests Monday saying a compelling reason had not been presented as to why the amount should be kept secret.
Toyota has faced several federal investigations and lawsuits in regards to recalled vehicles and problems with sudden acceleration.

I was thinking about makeing a Eldar army and i wanted to know waht would be good to get for an army of maybe 2000 points?
well if you dont really have an idea about what you want in the army then I suggest getting the eldar army strarter set. Then after youve used that then you can broaden your horizons and go with a craftworld.
or do you have what kind of army you want in mind?
I suggest playing 5 or so games completley proxied, ("this napkin is a falcon" and such) get a feel for eldar and what you like about them so you can buy what you want first with an informed view, I bought a set up biel-tan army and its taken a while to get it rounded out, and I've wasted a good bit of money in the process.
Both of those suggestions are great ones. None of us can really tell you what would be good and whats not but I for one tried both of the above suggestions... In the early stages I played games against my friends tau using scrabble pieces. And later bought the battle force and I've ending up using all of it except the jetbikes.
But if you really MUST have some starting advice then some guardian defenders are the best way to go and some people will tell you to steer clear from certain units like Shinning Spears, Dire Avengers and War Walkers in your early stages of building an army. But the choice is completely up to you and it really does depend on what craftworld you would like to take.

(KFSM) — Senator's John Boozman and Tom Cotton responded to the President's decision to reopen the government temporarily Friday (Jan. 25).
Both Senators say they are glad to see the government reopen for the sake of Arkansans, but both still believe there is a need for a border wall.
Senator Boozman says he agrees with President Trump's call for more resources to defend the border.
He says these measures will help reduce the number of illegal immigrants coming across the border as well as combat drug and human trafficking.
Earlier today President Donald Trump announced an agreement to end the partial government shutdown for three weeks.
This announcement is a promising step. Hundreds of thousands of federal employees have missed paychecks and Arkansans who rely on shuttered agencies have experienced unnecessary anxiety as a result of this partial shutdown. We can, and must, resolve our differences over border security without this extra turmoil.
I agree with the president’s call for more resources to defend our border. We must provide the funds for increased manpower, technology and infrastructure—including roads for access, electronic devices for surveillance and fencing for deterrence. These measures will help reduce the number of illegal immigrants coming across our border in addition to combatting drug and human trafficking. An increase in resources had bipartisan support from Senate Appropriations Committee members for Fiscal Year 2019. It’s time to act on that.
Speaker Pelosi refused to discuss border security until the government was fully open. The president has offered this good faith effort to move discussions on additional border funding forward. Speaker Pelosi should follow suit. Let’s come together to reach a consensus that puts the interests of our nation first.
Senator Cotton says he hopes negotiations in the coming weeks will bring security to our southern border and help fix immigration laws.
I’m glad to see the government reopen for the sake of the Arkansans who’ve been negatively impacted. At the same time, it’s unfortunate that my Democratic colleagues have not yet agreed to funding to secure our southern border, which ought to include new physical barriers—something Democrats have supported in the past. I hope during the coming weeks they will honor their commitment to negotiate in good faith so that we can secure our borders and begin to fix our immigration laws.
Arkansas Representative Steve Womack also tweeted a response and said this isn't a permanent solution and we must still fully fund the government and secure our border.

WASHINGTON April 26, 2011 - James Pooley, Deputy Director General for Innovation and Technology at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), delivered the keynote address Tuesday at the sixth annual world intellectual property day forum, calling patents a "key driver for innovation".
Pooley explained how patents provide not only protection for inventors but also assurances for investors.
“By having a patent protecting a product, investors feel their investments are protected from being copied or stolen,” said Pooley.
WIPO is trying to spur global innovation through the Patent Cooperation Treaty. The Patent Cooperation Treaty provides a unified international patent filing system for 142 nations. By having a single application, inventors are able to gain faster access to the international market.
The number of international patent filings by U.S. companies has flattened, but those filed by Chinese companies has risen steeply.
China is now the fourth largest filer of international patent applications. Currently the Chinese government is subsidizing the costs of filling a patent, which is driving the large number of filings but Pooley feels that this subsidy will likely not last forever.
Currently, one-third of the international patents that are filed come out of Asia.

I think it is unrealistic to try to give a free college education. With more people entering college and graduating them, they will be able to get a better job for themselves. With extra work and help from family students will be able to afford college tuitions. From the kitchen table to the corridors of Congress, people were talking about it. While nobody commands single people what to do and what not to do, married people will be bothered by their partners. The importance of a college education is hardly a new topic of conversation. Obama said in a video posted Thursday night by the White House.
Those who believe that education should not be made free for number of reasons. Free college education does have its underlying advantages, but in my opinion the long term negative effects of free college education significantly outweigh its short term benefits. The student cannot say to the University: I, the consumer, the consumer is always right. With companies, hiring the educated people over the non-educated people comes an issue, not everyone can afford a degree. The plan would be funded by the federal government and participating states, but White House officials declined to discuss how much it would cost or how it would be financed. It provides a way for poorer families to break free from Instead, citizens should be paid to go to college because they are going there to better themselves as citizens of the United States.
There are many places around the world that give students access to a free college education like Finland, Austria, Norway, Germany, and Sweden but there are some ways that you can go to free at some places in the United States. Other countries like in Europe and Germany already offer free college, yet we are the land of the free and deprive the citizens of an education because of their financial situations. I believe that college education should be free for students. Sure, they were told of the millions of dollars they could make in professional sports, but were they given the odds of them even reaching that big payday? Getting the average in work is no longer acceptable. A free college educative system would allow some to do just that: pursue their happiness. Others write about a subject that they don't care about, but that they think will impress admissions officers.
But many Canadian students still take out loans. But the tax requirements would likely be much lower compared to what a tuition-free system would require. When the cost of attending college, university, or trade school is too high, a lot of students simply choose not to pursue a higher education. The most recently compiled statistics from the National Science Foundation showed that 44 percent of the 126,000 men and women earning 4-year degrees in engineering attended community college at some point. The best way to tell your story is to write a personal, thoughtful essay about something that has meaning for you. It is sort of unrealistic no matter how glorious this sounds. Some regard education as a basic right, which should therefore be provided free, while others think the individual student should have to shoulder some of the costs of his or her education.
Be honest and genuine, and your unique qualities will shine through. The report considers and highlighted the satisfaction of students who studied in college and use these services. Higher education means better income and a chance to get out of poverty. Most of those students are really smart and can go somewhere in life, but they end up working for a minimum wage because a university education is just too much for them. On top of that, would this really change things in the long run? However, some people are opposed to free education. Student: Professor: Course title: Date: Community college should be free Introduction The concerns over the rising cost of higher education have been on the rise in the recent times. With extra work and help from family students will be able to afford college tuitions.
An additional point is that university fees only contribute a small proportion of the university budget. In a single semester an individual may receive a federal Perkins loan at 5% and one or two Stafford loans at 6 to 9%, and most likely an endowment loan from the school itself. We Should Have Free College Education There is no doubt about it, education has become not just expensive but very expensive. In doing so, only the very brightest and the very motivated will possess a college degree, which in my opinion mitigates the burden of high expenditures on the path government whilst putting the intellectual future of the nation in its ideal paradigm. This then creates a more well-educated workforce and a population that has better critical thinking skills. For many families, the high cost of tuition would discourage participation in third level education. And before you send it off, check, check again, and then triple check to make sure your essay is free of spelling or grammar errors.
So, in many ways, it did the opposite of what was intended. Just because tuition is free there are still plenty of other expenses like fees, books, meal plans, etc. . Freedom is the first difference between married life and single life. Is it possible and should a college or university education be tuition free? Who gets taxed seems to vary based on who is talking, but it seems certain that the upper echelons of American society will see increased taxes if this passes. Please use only your first name.
Admissions officers have to read an unbelievable number of college essays, most of which are forgettable. I believe that in a perfect world, college education should be free for everyone, but at this time, it is simply not a viable option. In the first place, a modern country needs highly skilled graduates of all kinds, rather than just high school leavers. College education should be free to all Today, when the essence of education differs from the past, education and technology are intrinsically linked to each other. However, some people are opposed to free education.
Payment is deferred until after graduation, and every graduate is automatically enrolled in an income-based repayment program. If education is made free, it will become the fundamental right protected by law. Have at least one other person edit your essay. Colleges and Universities realise that education is one of the most important things that a person can invest in. They are not going to get an opportunity because their parents could not afford it! As a result, far fewer students from lower-income families attend college than those from upper-income families. Should you go to college to fulfill your dreams, risking being in debt for years after? Start early and write several drafts. Of course it would be great to have free college.
College should not be free. Furthermore, I do not believe that a free college education would help erase social inequality. As many young millennials rally behind Bernie Sanders and his outlandish claims of free public college for all, others sigh and shake their heads in disapproval. If college was free more people would be able to and want to go to college. If a student does not maintain the necessary grades required, and or fall below part-time student status, the loan is due. Plus, since more people would be able to attain employer-desired credentials, more people would be able to take the good-paying jobs that often go unfilled.

The statute of limitations is a state law that defines the particular amount of time that you are legally able to file a lawsuit to seek compensation for an incident. Every state has its own statute of limitations with different deadlines determined by the extent of the injuries or losses incurred.
The Florida statute of limitations for a car accident is based on whether or not the accident caused an injury or resulted in the loss of someone’s life.
For injuries, the lawsuit must be filed within four years of the accident as per Florida Statutes Section 95.11(3)(a). Typically car accidents are caused by negligence on the part of one or both drivers. You can learn more about car accidents caused by negligence by calling us today.
Do you know the Florida Statute of Limitations for Auto Accidents?
the loss of that vehicle. Learn more about Vehicle Damage Claims by contacting our attorneys.
The statute of limitations on an accident that resulted in a wrongful death is two years from the time of death, which may differ from the date of the accident, as per Florida Statutes section 95.11(4)(d).
If you attempt to file a lawsuit after the two or four year statute of limitations deadline has passed, you are unlikely to have your case considered by the court, so you need to understand the applicable deadlines and know what steps to take before the statute of limitations is up.
Make sure that you file in plenty of time with a car accident lawsuit, no matter how confident you are that you will receive a settlement in negotiation with the insurance adjusters. This will give you more leverage in settlement negotiations. It also helps to have a qualified Florida car accident attorney to assist you in these negotiations and advise you on when it might be time to file a lawsuit.
Any injury related to a car accident can be evaluated by an experienced auto accident attorney who can determine if you have a valid claim and how to go about fighting for compensation.
Depending on your injury and the nature of your claim, you may have a different statute of limitation. If the case involves minors or defamation, then you may be allowed a longer time limit. If it involves medical malpractice, then a shorter time limit may apply.
There is a rule called the “discovery of harm” rule which indicates that the clock on your statute of limitations starts at the moment that you become aware of or should have become aware of the harm that was caused by the accident or injury.
Consider a situation where a surgeon leaves a bandage in his patient’s abdomen during surgery. This is not discovered for many years during another surgery. The patient didn’t know what happened, so could not have the opportunity to do anything about it until the harm was discovered. In this case, the statute of limitations would begin at the time that the harm was discovered, rather than at the time that the mistake occurred, which may have been several years past.
At the same time, there must be a reasonable explanation for the delay in discovery. In the former example, if the patient never sought treatment for ongoing pain, then the ‘discovery of harm’ rule would not apply to that situation. In most injury claims, there is nothing to discover, so this rule will not apply. In some wrongful death cases, it may be applicable to your situation. Call us to find out.
Each state has their own statute of limitations for each type of claim. Keep in mind that state laws can be revised frequently, so call an attorney to find out what the current statutes of limitations are for your case in your state.
Any time you sustain injuries or losses because of another person’s negligence, you may have a case to recover your damages within the time frame allowed by the statute of limitations for your case. If you aren’t sure about the statute of limitations in your situation, get a free consultation from a auto accident attorney and get all of your questions answered.

Each island has exactly one numbered cell, containing a number between 1 and 9. The number of white cells (including the numbered cell) in this island is equal to this number. Two cells are connected if they share a side. Two cells belong to the same island if there exists a path going through connected island cells.
All water cells (black) are connected. Water cells are connected in the same manner as island cells.
Within a 2×2 block there must be at least one cell belonging to an island.
In this problem, you are asked to verify that Nurikabe puzzles are solved correctly.
The first line of input contains a single number T, the number of test cases that follow. The first line of each test case contains integers N and M, the size of a puzzle in rows and columns. The next N lines contain the rows of the puzzle. Each line contains characters from the set 123456789.# where . and any digit represent an island cell and # represents a water cell.
Recent surveys indicate that more than seven billion chocolate chip cookies are eaten annually.
For each test case, output YES if the board is filled in correctly according to the rules, and NO otherwise.

Yesterday I handed in one research essay. 3000 words. The longest one I’ve ever written. Possibly it was also the most painful one I’d ever had to write. I always struggle with research essays, not because I can’t write them (I generally do quite well in them), but because I am so attention deficient. And I don’t do well on computers with my attention deficiency. Seriously with the amount of time that I spent playing FreeCell, Spider Solitaire and Angry Birds instead of working this past week, I could have won NaNoWriMo in 20 days and finished three research papers. These days, I turn off my laptop’s Wi-Fi access when I’m trying to work, but unfortunately none of those three games need internet access. Anyway, I always struggle with the temptations and distractions when trying to work, but it has never been as bad as this past week. My motivation to do anything academic related has been 0% for a while now and trying to study for my last paper and finish that freakin’ essay in that state… I’ve used a few more choice words at it the last few days.
You’ll hear from me again tomorrow if the internet returns. If not, in a few days. I also thought of some great cartoon ideas when I was writing. I always get the best ideas when I don’t have the time to put them into practice. So we’ll return to your regular cartoon programming next week Monday. Or Tuesday if I decide to sleep all weekend.
This entry was posted on November 30, 2012 by Elana. It was filed under NaNoWriMo and was tagged with great news, nanowrimo, national novel writing month, university.
Ahaha yes! 😉 It’s mostly the idea of a change of status that’s scary. I was scared to finish high school three years ago as well!
It stands for National Novel Writing Month. It is a challenge to write 50,000 words of a new novel during the 30 days of November. If you’re aspiring to become an author, it’s great fun. I love it, because it gives me that kick in the pants I need to start writing.

I found this recipe on the Tasty Kitchen website. I have made these a few times and I suggest you do the same. When I tasted these I thought….drakes coffee cakes…but BETTER. Do you remember the Seinfeld episode? Love the Drake!
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease muffin tins. Combine topping ingredients until crumbly and set aside. Whisk brown sugar, oil, egg, buttermilk, vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet (do not overmix). Fold in apples & spoon into greased muffin tin, filling 3/4 of each cup. Sprinkle prepared topping over each muffin and bake for 25-30 minutes.

The JCQ A2C programme will provide an industry standard of electronic data transfer for awarding organisations, MIS providers and centres to adopt. The aim is that sharing product and learner data will become easier and systems will become more efficient as processes become streamlined. NCFE, national Awarding Organisation, recognises the benefits that A2C will bring for our customers and we’re very excited to be involved in this project.
To make A2C happen, we’ve put a dedicated project team in place who’ve been going through the JCQ specification documents to build a compatible solution using our existing internal systems. The team have engaged with our customers to make sure the system is fully responsive to their needs and have also worked closely with Capita and Compass to ensure that our solution is compatible and supported by MIS providers. Once our solution is available, centres will be able to register to use A2C via NCFE when they and their chosen MIS provider are ready.
Making the move to A2C may seem a difficult transition for centres, but don’t worry, NCFE and the MIS providers are ready to provide support every step of the way. We recognise that due to a variety of reasons, not all centres will make the transition to A2C immediately and that’s fine! We’ll continue to support our customers who want to stay on a non-A2C route (eg our portal) until they’re ready to make the switch.
As always, we’re keen to hear our customers’ views and would like to know how these changes will affect you and your centre. Please get in touch by emailing service@ncfe.org.uk or giving us a call on 0191 239 8000.
NCFE has been functionally complete for a number of months and has been waiting for MIS providers to be available to finish integration testing. During this time the project has been impacted by decisions from AQA and Pearson to not go live in September, and this has resulted in Capita FHE also pausing their go live.
While the development team has been focused on A2C, other internal projects at NCFE have been affected with the potential risk of impacting our business plan goals.
In order to mitigate this risk to NCFE the senior management team has had to respond accordingly; the external factors of the A2C project have been reviewed, taking into consideration the reduction of AOs and the current availability of MIS providers to undertake an end-to-end test and pilot.
After discussion, the PSG has made the decision to reduce the development team and to focus on other high priority projects. The reduced resource will remain committed to the project and will be involved in any discussions such as with Capita SIMS and their VQ development. This will ensure that we retain subject knowledge and are aware of any potential changes.
This has been a difficult decision to make, however the senior management team believes that this is the most effective outcome to satisfy our internal projects and A2C commitments. Discussion around the benefit of going live on version 2 early in 2016 or to wait until version 3 is still being held, however this is subject to the availability and progress of the other organisations involved.

Neil Warnock says Wolves are still favourites to win Friday's top-of-the-table Championship clash despite their recent dip in form.
Cardiff manager Neil Warnock says Championship leaders Wolves are still favourites going into Friday's clash despite their recent decline in form.
Cardiff can move to within three points of top spot with a game in hand if they beat Wolves on Friday night, live on Sky Sports Football.
Warnock's side go into the game as the division's in-form team, alongside Fulham, having taken 16 points from their last six fixtures.
However, Wolves have only won twice in their last six Championship games, allowing the Bluebirds to get back within touching distance.
Warnock, recently named manager of the Championship Team of the Season, said: "We might be the form team but I don't think we're favourites, you'd have to say Wolves are favourites.
"You don't become the top team in the league without being the best team. I think it's the challenge of people like Wolves and Villa that we've got to revel in. We need to play in front of those atmospheres and welcome it, and push ourselves."
Warnock was full of praise for opposite number Nuno Espirito Santo ahead of Friday's meeting but revealed he did not vote for the Wolves boss as manager of the season.
Warnock voted for Millwall's Neil Harris as the Championship manager of the season ahead of Nuno Santo.
He continued: "I didn't vote for him as manager of the season, but he's I think done a great job. I voted for Neil Harris if I'm honest, I think he's done a remarkable job with very limited resources. But Nuno has done a great job, I know how he feels.
"When I won the league easily with QPR I think Paul Lambert got it, who spent more money than me at Norwich - even though we were the 'moneybags', so I was a bit peeved. This is the first thing I've ever won and it's great for the lads to know we're well thought of. I couldn't have done this without the boys."
Warnock says neither he nor his players will be thinking about potentially winning the Championship title even if they manage to take all three points against Wolves.
He added: "That's not really a target. We're looking at another point and we're definitely in the play-offs and we're not going to get on a high thinking about what we could do.
"This game is just the challenge of beating the best side in the league. You guys can think about 'what if' but Wolves and Villa, some people might not give us any chance in those games."

This is a darling collection of 4 Christmas Snow Girl and Boy Pictures! These vintage images include 3 Christmas Snow Girl Pictures and 1 Snow Boy. Each one of these precious children are wearing white snow suits trimmed with white fur. Some of these have been on the blog for a bit and have been updated with higher resolution scans and one is a new addition to the site. These all coordinate nicely together and would be fun to use in a variety of Christmas Craft Projects and Holiday Designs. These are all Antique Postcard scans from my collection.
First up we have this Nostalgic Adorable Girl Christmas Cheer Snow Girl Postcard! This one features an adorable chubby-cheeked little girl wearing a white fur coat and red hat smiles as she looks upward. She is holding a large bouquet of red and green holly. Her white tights wrap over her shiny black shoes. The postcard reads, “Wishes for Christmas Cheer” and has a verse from Deck the Halls that finishes with “Merry Christmas everyone.” The card is Circa 1917 according to the postmark on the back.
Next up we have this Darling Christmas Snow Girl Picture! Shown above is a sweet little Girl all Dressed in White with Fur. She’s bundled up for Christmas Snow! She appears to be the sister of the little girl above. The greeting on this card reads “May every Joy that’s seasonable, And every wish that’s reasonable, Be granted you this Christmas Tide. So sweet.
This is a lovely little Antique Christmas Postcard! This illustration is by Ellen Clapsaddle. The card shows a dear little Snow Girl carrying a festive looking Holiday Topiary with a big red bow! She’s all bundled up in her white fur trimmed suit and matching hood. And it’s a good thing too because it looks like it has started to Snow. So nice for your Handmade Christmas Cards!
Lastly we have this Antique Snow Boy Picture! Shown above is a cute old Christmas Postcard featuring a a darling little Boy, with a Red Knit Cap. He’s got 3 Snowballs in his arms that he’s about to throw at someone. The sentiment reads “One simple line will all my wish convey, God have you in His keeping day by day”. The card is marked Dec 1912 on the back and was originally given to a little boy by his Grandma!
I hope you enjoyed this sweet collection of snow children. I will add more to this collection in the future as I find other pictures that relate.

On June 22nd the Nazi forces invaded the Soviet Union without declaration of war. The Second World War, which raged in Europe, became the Great Patriotic War on the Soviet territory. For a long four years the Soviet people defended their country’s independence and territorial integrity.
Numerical superiority in manpower and military hardware secured the Nazis a quick advance deep into this country. But the Nazi blitzkrieg ran into unprecedented heroism and tenacity of the Red Army and in the winter of 1941 the Nazis suffered a crushing defeat near Moscow and were thrown off 200 kilometers. Following the fiasco the Nazi command gave up on advancing throughout the entire front and chose to carry out the summer campaign of 1942 on the southern direction alone. Hitler wanted the wheat, coal and oil-rich areas of the Don, Volga and Caucasian Regions to paralyze the Soviet economy.
Stalingrad and the Caucasus were picked for a major blow. The capture of Stalingrad, one of the country’s major industrial centers, would have enabled the Nazis to establish control of the Volga and, provided the developments turned nicely for Germany, would have made it possible for the Nazis to advance northward and thereby cut Central Russia off the Ural rear and then surround and seize Moscow.
In the direction of Stalingrad the Nazi command concentrated a mighty force, which outnumbered the Red Army in manpower and hardware. The advance on Stalingrad began on July 17th 1942.
Hitler wanted Stalingrad at all costs and the Nazi troops launched attack after attack. The enemy fought for each street or house day and night. The Soviet troops, pressed against the Volga bank, fully aware that the outcome of the battle is crucial for their country’s future, showed remarkable heroism.
“It was as if by a magic wand that more and more personnel and hardware grew out of the vast steppes of Russia, as if a skillful magician was moulding the Ural clay into Bolshevik men and vehicles in profusion.” At dawn on November 19th 1942 Soviet troops struck with fire at the enemy from the south and north and four days later encircled the 6th army of General von Paulus. It was the first major battle of the Nazi forces since the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.
Germany was shocked. Hitler ordered Paulus to hold out to the last soldier. He knew that losing Stalingrad would mean losing the initiative for good and leaving the Volga, an area in the very heart of Russia.
To help the besieged 6th army Hitler sends the “Don” group commanded by Field-Marshal Manstein. After breaking through the Soviet defenses the Nazis reached the Myshkov River, the last natural stronghold on the way to Stalingrad, which was only 40 kilometers away. The future of Paulus’s army was at stake, so fighting was particularly fierce in the area. The Soviet defending force was dwindling rapidly. On December 24th it was joined by the 2nd Guards Army of General Malinovsky and threw Manstein back from Stalingrad. From that moment on the 330-thousand strong Nazi group was a besieged POW camp.
In the Soviet headquarters von Paulus asked one of the generals to explain why the Soviet soldiers were fit to advance day and night and lie in the snow at temperatures as low as 35 to 40 degrees below zero. In response the General pointed at a soldier standing nearby: “Look at what he is wearing.” The soldier had on felt boots, wadded pants, thermal underwear, a short fur coat, a winter hat and mittens. ‘Our Motherland looks after its defenders,’ the General added.
Meanwhile, streams of captured Nazis trudged along the roads leading to Stalingrad. Frostbitten, muffled in rags, sacks and felt fabrics, the defeated soldiers and officers looked an abominable sight. The 6th Nazi army ceased to exist.
The Battle of Stalingrad lasted for 200 days and nights and left huge losses on both sides: 1.5 million from the Nazis and 1.13 million from the Soviets.
The Battle changed the course of the war on the Soviet-Nazi front in favour of the Soviet Union and reversed the tide of the Second World War on the whole. The defeat of the Nazis came as a symbolic grave cross that now loomed over the halo of the invincibility of Nazi Germany.
The defeat under Stalingrad shattered the morale of Nazi Germany and triggered widespread resentment over the futile war in satellite countries. The military and political consequences of Soviet successes in the winter of 1942-43 were so impressive that Hitler had to admit on February 1st 1943 that winning the war in the East by acting on the offensive was no longer possible. That, the fuehrer said, had to be accepted as a fact. But even though facts indicated imminent defeat Hitler and his entourage continued to believe that the war could yet be won and there was a chance to reverse the situation.
In an attempt to take revenge the Wehrmacht launched preparations for the summer campaign. Victory had to be obtained at any price to save the political image of Germany. Overall mobilization was declared throughout the country and tanks, self-propelled guns and planes were produced at increased pace. In the absence of second front in the West, Germany concentrated the bulk of its forces on the Soviet-Nazi front. In the summer campaign the Wehrmacht planned to destroy the Soviet forces near Kursk, Oryol and Belgorod. And this choice was fully justified.
In the course of Soviet advances in the winter of 1942-43 there formed an extensive bulge near Kursk, which was described by war historians as the Kursk Bulge. The bulge put the Soviet troops defending it at risk of being surrounded by the enemy. The Nazi command resolved to take advantage of the situation. To this end, it mounted an offensive code-named “Citadel”, under which the Soviet forces were to be surrounded from the flanks and destroyed west of Kursk. For the “Citadel” operation the enemy brought in 70 divisions, 16 of them tank and motorized, extensively backed from the air.
In answer to the Wehrmacht’s plan the Soviet command decided to abstain from a pre-emptive attack but tire the Nazis out in defense, knock out its tanks, and then with fresh reserves launch an offensive and smash the enemy.
The Battle of Kursk Bulge started on July 5th 1943. It took the Nazis the first few battles to feel the strength of the Soviet defenses. In the large-scale campaign in which four million soldiers took part and which lasted seven weeks the crucial time fell on July 12th, the day of the biggest in history tank battle, which occurred near Prokhorovka village in the Belgorod Region. Armoured Forces Marshal Pavel Rotmistrov, who commanded one of the tank armies, recalled.
Hitler’s command pinned most of their hopes on the new “Tiger” and “Panther” tanks and the “Ferdinand” self-propelled gun. However, the Soviet tanks, which boasted a higher degree of maneuverability, knocked out the armoured Nazi monsters with utmost efficiency. The battle ended with a total defeat of the Nazi tank force, which was turned into a scrap of metal. After the Battle of Prokhorovka the Soviet troops went on the offensive and liberated Oryol and Belgorod.
The defeat of the Nazis near Kursk left Germany unable to recover from the losses. The German historian Goertliz wrote that the Battle of Kursk marked the beginning of a deadly crisis in the Nazi army.
On the occasion of the victory on the Kursk Bulge on August 5th 1943 Moscow for the first time saluted to Soviet troops. And that was quite justified, for winning the Battle of Kursk meant winning the war. The victory in the Battle of Kursk had far-reaching consequences – it brought forth the collapse of the Nazi bloc, which included a number of European countries, and led to the expansion of anti-fascist and national liberation movement in Europe.
The former battlefield near Prokhorovka is now a park with St.Peter and Paul’s Church and a memorial bell-tower that peals every 25 minutes in honour of Russian valiance in the three major battles in the history of Russia – the Battle of Kulikovo, the Battle of Borodino and the Battle of Prokhorovka.
This war is all but forgotten in America. It is strange, but most of the wars that we have taken part in have been forgotten. I suppose because almost none have occured within our own borders, there is little celebration of victory and the days set aside to honor those who died in them tend to be days when stores run special sales that they advertise weeks in advance. An unusual way to honor your nation's war dead.
When I was a child that was not the case. On these days, every business closed down, and every family would go to the graves of some member of the family who died in those wars.
I used to sit and talk to very old men who would gather in the parks by the war memorials who had fought in the previous war, World War I, and listen to them tell stories about their time on the front and in the trenches. I wasnt so much interested in the war itself but in the individual stories these old fellows would tell. I doubt there are many people still alive who fought in the first world war, and those who fought in the second are rapidly going as well.
I simply find the differences in the way our two countries give memory to the second great war interesting.
I think that the difference in mentuality between russians and americans also plays a big role.
Geographically America's land defended by the waters of two big oceans.
Historically a lot of invaders on their way to West or to East needed to cross our territory or planed to occupy it. We need to be ready to defend ourselves we could find allies only for some time. So we could count only on ourselves.
Yes, it was difficult for Americans to understand the entire idea of the Eastern Bloc and the spheres of influence that came in the negotiations that ended World War II, primarily because Americans never learned how often Russia was invaded from the nations to the West of it, by the Teutonic Knights, Lithuania (as it was in the late middle ages, a very significant power), from Poland, from Prussia, and later by Sweden. Even from France, when Napoleon was bent on a world, or at least continental empire.
While during the Cold War, Americans asserted that the Soviets sought to dominate the world, the Soviet Union rarely attempted to extend itsele beyond the borders that were agreed on at the end of World War II.
One of the reasons that in South Africa, many of the anti apartheid groups looked to the Soviet Union for aid in their struggles against the Afrikaaner government, was that they said that at least the Soviets will leave if you ask them to, or if you have to pressure them to leave, they will as well. Steven Biko is reported to have said this in one of his interviews back in the 1970's. He said that America and Europeans, once they got into a nation or region were far less inclined to leave it when asked.

or realloc a lot. I hit a big one in SQLite. Firefox currently has v3.8.6.1.
the sizes of those realloc'd blocks are shown on the "Individual block sizes"
rounds up requests to the nearest 4 KiB multiple.
something each time we passed a 4 KiB multiple.
a string whose final expanded size was just under 1,200,128 bytes.
Much better than the 176 MB(!) given by the linear size increase.
small test case that demonstrates this bad behaviour?
Check-in https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/a518bc331823 for SQLite causes the size of the string buffer to grow exponentially (until it hits size bounds) and thus avoid realloc() calls. This change will be in the next SQLite release (3.8.8). I'm *guessing* that this issue is not important enough to require a patch release for SQLite (that would be 3.8.6.2 or 3.8.7.2) and that you can wait on the next next scheduled release (3.8.8). Please correct me if this guess is incorrect.
Thank you for the very fast response. Waiting for the next scheduled release sounds fine to me.
This bug is just waiting on the SQLite 3.8.8 import. There doesn't appear to be a bug for it yet.
we create upgrade bugs when the new Sqlite versions are released. I think there's no hurry here, right?
Yeah, there's no great rush. I was just recording it for completeness.
> be a bug for it yet.
Ryan is doing some try testing against 3.8.8 in bug 1122717.
Should be fixed by bug 1122717.

This weekend's presidential election could determine how much longer US forces remain in Afghanistan. Has America's longest war paved the way for real democracy? Will violence and voter fraud compromise the outcome? Also, another Fort Hood shooting, and a secret Twitter-like messaging service created by the US to undermine Communist Cuba.

In light of the LMA’s 20th anniversary, the Ranger would like to say that no matter how times change and irrespective of any fancy products challenging the norm, the loan will always be dear to us.
Loan market participants proved that whatever the circumstances — Brexit, US elections, European elections, Ed Balls being kicked out of Strictly Come Dancing — they remain a cordial and friendly band.
If the Schuldschein market were to go on a package summer holiday, the Ranger knows who would get all the best seats around the swimming pool.
The world is grasping at the meaning of a Trump presidency. As snippets of policy dribble out of the Trump machine, financial markets roll and pitch in retort, while that placid pond of liquidity, the EMEA loan market, remains calm.
This is a rather tumultuous week for the United States. Thankfully, the European loan market is insulated from world events - a serene pool of readily available capital, though one where people have some rather strong views.
In this week’s chapter we offer an olive branch to a contact who has been the focus of much negative attention as a result of some risky cycling. The Ranger would also like to raise a toast to a dear colleague who has recently left.
As bankers traversed the Alps and whizzed down rollercoasters last week, the Ranger prepared for the GlobalCapital's 2017 Loan Awards, testing out some new ideas on the market with mixed results.

Police officers see mental illness from the other side.
For a good while, James Gibson was a second-generation firefighter, a young man with pride in his heart while following in his father’s footsteps. He joined the fire department when he was just 17.
But there was also the smoldering ember of mental illness in his mind. It erupted eight years ago.
“At first, it was just trouble handling some subjects in school,” said Gibson, now 30. “There were only certain things I liked. I just couldn’t handle class work that much.” On Tuesday, dressed in a crisp suit and perfectly knotted tie and fighting off a nervousness that dried his mouth and trapped his breath, Gibson tried to convey what it’s like when you are losing your mind.
His audience was a group of Chesterfield County police officers engaged in crisis intervention training for the seemingly never-ending conflict on the streets between enforcing the law and dealingwith mentally ill people.
Gibson, who grew up in Northern Virginia, is a resident now at Gateway Homes Inc. in southern Chesterfield County, one of the state’s most successful residential facilities for people with mental illness. Hospitalized for about four years at Western State Hospital in Staunton, Gibson has been at Gateway for almost a year.
Police officers across Virginia have had access to crisis intervention training for decades, but the process is taking on a role of greater significance as mental patients are being transferred into community settings. There is also the gnawing reality of mass shootings by mentally troubled gunmen: Virginia Tech in 2007; Aurora, Colo., in 2012; Newtown, Conn., in 2012; and Columbine, Colo., in 1999.
“We want to stress that the level of violence among the mentally ill is no greater than among the general population,” said Lynda Hyatt, Gateway’s executive director and a longtime caseworker and administrator dealing with mental health issues in central Virginia. Chesterfield officers involved with CIT training have visited psychiatric wards in state and private hospitals and talked to mental health care providers, but the opportunity to talk with Gibson was a rarity.
Most police forces deal with simulated examples of what a mentally ill person endures. For Gibson, the opportunity presented a test of his own ability to examine his troubled life from the perspective of someone fighting for mental health and the possibility of a return to a less-sheltered life.
He loves trips into Richmond, seeing the rail yards and trains rumbling between lanes on the Powhite Parkway. He keeps a picture of the triple crossing in Shockoe Bottom in his room. Gibson recounted to his audience his passion for public service and the thrill of being a firefighter. What he wasn’t prepared to handle was death.
In Prince William County, a fire call sent him rushing into a flaming home only to be stopped by the sight of two victims, one totally consumed, the other showing traits reminiscent of a store mannequin. “I froze,” Gibson, who has post-traumatic stress disorder from the incident, told the officers.
A few times during his talk, Gibson apologized for losing his train of thought. He pulled out his iPhone, offering to show his intricate artwork.
But he pressed on and recalled the day in Winchester when he tried to steal a fire engine. He doesn’t know why. But the voices were there. The screaming.
There were officers, too, that day, who recognized him as a troubled young man. He was sent to Western State Hospital instead of jail.
“I was there a lot of years,” he said. A prohibition on smoking drove the price of contraband cigarettes to more than a dollar each, he said.

You love toting your favorite music with you to the gym. You have your pump-up jams, your lifting anthems, and the songs you just can’t finish your 10-mile run without. Without your exercise audio, you’re left listening to the whir of treadmills and clanking weights. As much as we love piping in music to keep us going, we all know the drama that comes with earphones that don’t stay put.
You jump, you lift, you do some plyometrics and agility—ultimately, you move around a lot. A slippery silicone earphone just can’t stay put. No matter how snugly you cram it into your ear canal, the rubber simply slips at the first sign of sweat. We understand this struggle far too well, which is exactly why we’ve tirelessly invested in creating an earphone tip replacement that enables your earbuds to stay put until you say otherwise.
Comply™ Sport Pro 400 foam tips have been precision engineered to stay with you set after set, mile after mile. Patented viscoelastic memory foam has been crafted into the ideal shape for your ear canal. Whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, Comply™ tips will stay with you through rest days and twice-a-days.
Stay-put Technology for Serious Workouts: The proprietary materials created by Comply™ makes sure these foam tips stay in place. The secure fit is guaranteed by the memory foam that was made to activate with your body heat and expand to fit your ear canal’s individual shape and size. Comply™ foam gives these tips 400% more grip than standard silicone rubber earphone tips. So get in 400% more sweating without even a budge.
Comfort for Every Ear: In addition to providing superior grip, the bad boys are 10 times thicker than silicone rubber. This cushion means you can expect an earbud that is 30 times softer, so you can say goodbye to the achy ears and listening fatigue that always kicked in halfway through a long workout or practice. Plus, this extra thickness means serious sound isolation. Think about it as sound-proofing your ears—trap in great audio while sealing out the pitter patter of gym sounds and sneakers.
New and Improved SweatGuard™ Protection: When the workouts get tough, the debris can build up. Comply™ wants to keep your listening machine clean and pristine. Our innovative SweatGuard seamlessly integrates an acoustically transparent filter inside each foam tip. This addition means moisture, sweat, earwax and other gunk out of your headphone’s soundports for crisp and clear listening.
