Before purchasing PCB boards from a PCB manufacturer, you’d better take the following four points into consideration.
Before placing an PCB order, you need to be aware of your intended use of the PCB. For example, maybe your PCB will end up in an open area in a certain cosmetic store, which means it needs to have a beautiful finish and resistant to rust. Or your PCB may be a shield for a motherboard that generates heat, which means an aluminum clad PCB (ACPCB) would be the best choice due to its superior heat dissipation.
Before starting mass fabrication as per a PCB design, you are often not sure about the actual performance. In this case, you want to buy a few PCB boards. This means that you need a PCB manufacturer who can supply a small volume PCB at a low cost.
Before ordering PCB boards, you need to make sure whether your PCB meets the guidelines for hazardous substances (RoHS). This will ensure that your board is safe for you and the surroundings. Printed circuit boards are typically sources of radio frequency interference (RFI) or electromagnetic interference (EMI). If your PCB failed to pass the test, it may interfere with other signals and cause unnecessary or unexpected results.
If your one-off project is successful and deployed for commercial use, mass production is a must. This means that if you choose the right manufacturer for the PCB at the initial stage, it will be easy to move to the next level of PCB development. And at the end of PCB life, you may want to add more functionality and ultimately enable it to handle more complex tasks. Therefore, the PCB manufacturer you choose should have the potential to grow with technology.

Damn it! I thought that they would allow me to hear what they were going to talk about. Mr. Damon wanted me to leave immediately when the most thrilling moment had just begun. He didn’t want me to get involve in that matter. I was a bit upset, really, but what could I do? I’m not Ino Rays who can easily frighten a pureblood.
Unfortunately, Frank didn’t want to tell me, even the slightest clue. He promised his father not to tell anyone, including me, his best friend. Again, I couldn’t do anything about that despite how upset I was.
But at least something gladdened my heart. That morning, Frank gave me the book I really wanted to read, the history of Moonlight Hills and the founder family. That wasn’t the book I usually read in history lesson or in the common libraries book. It was the real history of Moonlight Hills, the facts that most people didn’t know about.
I was in the most popular café in Moonlight Hills that night, The Tavern. Many people came there to hang out, date, or just having a little chit-chat. They had the best toast in town. But I don’t want to talk about the food or The Tavern itself.
I sat in the northernmost edge of that café, sitting alone with the book lying in front of me. The book was brown. No title in the cover, just some ancient stripe around the edge of it. I opened the cover, seeing the first page. It was a blank. I slid the page again and I saw a picture of werewolf, vampire, witch, fairy, and human together. They seemed that they shared their lives.
What a beautiful picture, I think. To imagine that all creatures live in harmony, I began to smile a bit.
I opened the next page, the writing began there. I read it carefully, trying to know what the book wanted to say. I read a few pages and I began to understand what really happened long ago in this town.
They intend to live in peace here, I talked in my mind.
It was said that Moonlight Hills was built by the entire creatures. The Dales represented the werewolves, the Damon represented vampire kinds, the Daltons represented the witches, and the Rovals represented the fairy kingdom. I wondered if there used to be a kingdom of fairy in this place. While humans represented by several families, who still existed until recently since human population was the majority.
So, there were Dales, Daltons, and Rovals who were deleted from the history. The secret about the Dales is revealed somehow, even I still don’t know the most part of it. But what about Daltons and Rovals? Was their fate the same as Dales, I asked to myself.
I read the next few pages, still didn’t find the clue about both families. I thought it took several days to finish this thick book, considering I had to study for mid-term exam and there were several trainings to face a regional football cup the next month.
I drank my ice chocolate using the straw, while my eyes still staring at the letters one by one. I thought the book was confusing yet it was still interesting since there were some knowledge I didn’t get from my ordinary history book. There were some languages that I didn’t understand, and there were letters I even never seen before. Maybe Frank knows about this, I talked to myself.
“It’s Fender,” I heard the voice of a girl calling my name loudly.
I turned my head spontaneously. There were Angelica Brownwood and her two friends waving to me. They walked straight toward me. It seemed that they had been shopping since they brought many shopping bags in their hands.
Melanie Stanford, the girl who calling my name loudly before, put her shopping bags on the table, “Here’s the handsome bookworm. How are you, Sweetheart?” she greeted me.
“Angelica, how about you go home with Fender? You’re home is the same direction with him, right?” the other girl, Gladys Cunning, said. She then looked at me who staring back at her, “Is it okay, Fender? You know that my home goes to the east while her home goes to the west,” she begged.
I sighed faintly. I knew they had just seen me alone there and took the opportunity to bring Angelica home. It was true that Angelica’s home was the same direction with mine. Actually, it bothered me for them to come to me and asked about that thing. I just wanted to spend my time alone reading the book a little longer. But I couldn’t just say no.
“Do you still want to be here, Fender?” Angelica asked me, “If you want to stay here a little longer, I will wait for you,” she said.
I smiled, “I will,” I waved to them while they went away from us.
“Sorry to be a burden for you,” Angelica seemed so full of regret.
I shook my head, “Not at all. Are you ready to go home now?” I asked.
Angelica rocked his body slowly while the car was running, enjoying the ‘Call Me Maybe’ song by Carly Rae Jepsen. It was coincidence that I had already downloaded that song into my mp3 player since that song was her favorite the most. Actually, I didn’t really fond of girl’s songs. But I was glad somebody enjoyed the song I already downloaded.
We passed through the main town into a lone road to the west, covered by the forest at both sides. We saw about two cars crossing our direction, after that we were alone there. It takes 15 minutes driving from the main town to Angelica’s home, then 10 minutes again to my home. The road was dark, no street lamps, only my car’s light and the moon’s light shone the road.
She looked so exhausted and stopped moving, but still she was laughing. The song wasn’t over yet. I focused on my front, but her sweating body made my eyes peeked on her several times.
She opened again the window which already opened a little, “Hufh, it’s hot here, right?” she said.
“This is my favorite song. How could I resist not rocking my body?” she said.
The song was finally over, and suddenly she turned off my mp3 player. She whispered then, asking me to stop the car. I was a bit confused about what she had asked me, but I did agree. Perhaps it was because of nausea since the wind stroke her face from out of the window.
“Don’t tell me you want to throw up,” I was joking.
She looked at me in the eye, for several seconds we caught in the silence. Suddenly, I felt a bit nervous. I didn’t know what happened to that girl, she just kept staring at me. I chuckled again, tried to ease the situation.
“Do you know why I like this song?” she asked.
Odd question, I figured. I just shook my head with an empty expression.
She chuckled softly, “It’s because the song represents my life so much. You know...when the first time I saw you, I already liked you so much,” she explained.
Frankly, I was a bit surprised when she told me that, but still I was flattered. I didn’t know what to say. I just stared back at her, seeing her mesmerized face. Why now, the question crossed my mind.
“I know that it’s so sudden. But, I think it’s better to tell you now,” she said.
I hummed, “I don’t know, Angelica. How about your boyfriend?” I asked.
She fixed her sitting position, loosened her seatbelt and placed her body toward me, “Haven’t you heard that I already broke up with Tim?” she explained, “I think it’s a good time to start from the beginning. I love you, Fender.” She moved her face toward me. It seemed that she wanted to kiss me right on the moment.
She smiled, “Everybody knows that you have an issue with her. I know you don’t like her anymore. Just like I said previously, it’s a good time to start over.” She touched my face, and then her face moved again toward me. For the moment, I was sure that she wanted to kiss me right away.
She was right. I had an issue with Susan and she was so beautiful so that I couldn’t resist her charming temptation.
But suddenly, it was not the kiss I got, but her frightening scream. I was shocked. I had no idea why she suddenly screamed while she wanted to kiss my lips. She saw something, I was sure of it. There was something scary behind me. At the moment, I didn’t know what it was. But something, something with four legs and red eyes, were moving fast toward my car. Until, I looked behind me and that thing hit my car roughly. It caused my car to be tumbled to the sidewalk and into the edge of the forest.
We both screamed loudly when we felt like we were being shaken inside the car. Then it stopped moving with my head position at the bottom. My seatbelt prevented me to fall, but the situation was different for Angelica. She fell randomly since she loosened her seatbelt previously.
I saw her bleeding in her forehead, neck, and arm because of the fraction of window’s glass. And me...I was still stuck in the position. I was bleeding too.
Angelica stopped screaming. She looked so scared but she could manage the situation. “What is that? What is that?” she whispered. “Was it a bear? Or a lion?” she wondered.
“I’m stuck,” I complained while trying to escape myself from this seatbelt.
“I’ll help you, Fender,” she tried to untied me, but I thought she found it difficult. She kept trying to help me, until finally I fell and bumped into my head. I said ‘ouch’ very loud and Angelica just kept saying sorry to me.
Suddenly, the situation was thrilling again. I clearly saw a head of the beast with its big and sharp fangs popped into the car through the broken window. We both screamed again and totally freaked out.
It bit Angelica’s leg and tried to pull her out. Angelica screamed for help. I already reached her hands but I wasn’t able to hold him. That beast successfully pulled her out with it. I just could hear Angelica’s scream, it was going faint until it was finally gone.
My breath was rushing up. There was no sound but wind and my breath.
Angelica is dead. It’s that werewolf Ino mentioned about. I’m sure of it, I talked to myself. That was the first time I ever saw a werewolf, and it was crazy. In my mind, I just thought that I was going to die at the moment. I tried to fix my position. It was hard to move in overturned car. But before I found my best position, the werewolf appeared again.
Then, it was my turn that it bit my leg and pulled me out of the car. I screamed out as loud as I could, crying for help. But I knew that nobody could help me then. I thought that I was going to die. The beast kept pulling on my legs, dragging me through the bushes and it was really hurt.
But something happened, my shirt got stuck by the root and its biting on my leg was detached. There was not a thing crossing my mind but getting up and running away as fast as I could. I ran without knowing my direction, without caring that my leg was hurt so much. I was still crying for help even though I knew that nobody could help me.
But fortunately, I was wrong.
Suddenly a pair of human hands popped out from the back of the tree I was going to pass through. The hands reached my head, pulled me, and smothered my mouth very tight.
At first, I tried to break loose, but when he told me to calm, I know it was the right thing to do.
I didn’t know who he was. He kept smothering me from behind so I couldn’t see his face. He only said calm for the second time. At the moment, I still worried about how we could escape from that werewolf. Until then, I realized that he had wings and brought me to fly away.
We flew fast to a higher area of the hill, to the deeper forest. For the first time, I saw the forest from above and it was so beautiful yet so eerie at night. I could feel the wind and somehow I didn’t get sick.
Several minutes later, he put me back on the ground. Now I could see his face. From the top of there, everything could be clearly seen since the moon brightened every area of this place. He was a young adult, maybe about 23 or 24 years-old man. He was unfamiliar to me. He looked calm and friendly with his big blue beautiful eyes staring at me. The blue transparent but glowing wings on his back suddenly disappeared. From the moment I knew that he was a fairy. And as far as I know that fairy is a beautiful creature, he was very gorgeous.
He winced a bit, “Good greetings, Sirrah. Thy name’s Fender Luts, art not thou?” he asked.
What an odd way of speaking, I thought. I didn’t have any idea how he could know my name. I was a bit astonished. “How do you know my name, Sir?” I asked him back.
Oh, God, I know several fairies and they’re nothing like him, I talked to myself. I thought that he was using an old way of speaking. I didn’t really get what he meant. I want to ask him to repeat his sentence, but I didn’t do that.
“Alas, I ne’er think that such race appears again hither,” he sighed, again I still didn’t get what he wanted to say about.
“Nay, thou dost not have to worry about the wound. It shalt heal. But, my friend, I woe thou. Thou art accursed. Thou shalt become one of them. All of God’s protection upon thee, my friend,” he said.
I tried hard to understand his words. I knew he tried to warn me something. I clearly heard that he said ‘thou shalt become one of them’. It was maybe old and odd, but it was still the same language I used. Did he mean that I would become one of them? Somehow I remembered about a werewolf’s bite. Then, I realized that my life had been cursed at the moment.

Am I right? Am I wrong?"
— "Once in a Lifetime," Talking Heads, Remain in Light, 1980.
Grundfos is regarded as a global leader in advanced pump solutions and a trendsetter in water technology. They contribute to global sustainability by pioneering technologies that improve quality of life for people and care for the planet.
When designing a multi-story building, running water is needed on every floor. As a building increases in height, with gravity as the enemy, the ability to pump water to higher levels becomes more challenging. This is an aspect of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction where Grundfos expertise comes into play. As the number of floors increases, so must the size of the piping and power of the pump increase to boost water to the upper floors. Given a number of floors, how big does the water booster solution need to be? How powerful does it need to be? When specifying a water booster solution, "you may ask yourself: 'Am I right? Am I wrong?'"
Grundfos has a website to help their customers answer these very questions.
With a step-by-step process and a slick user interface, the Grundfos website is state of the art in helping architects and engineers specify and order piping and pumps for their building projects. This applies to new construction as well as piping and pump replacement. Though state of the art, Grundfos asked a simple question "Can we do better?" The answer was "Yes." Grundfos worked with a company called Xinaps to simplify the process of water booster selection based on multiple cost scenarios and 3D visualization.
Xinaps is developing a solution that incorporates the expertise in pump solutions and water technology of Grundfos and seamlessly integrates with a building design workflow. There will be no need to ask "How do I work this?" So the next question is "How are they doing that?"
Xinaps is an Autodesk Forge partner. Forge is our application program interface (API) platform and supporting materials (sample code, manuals) as well as a community of developers who uses those APIs. Although Forge is intended for our customers and 3rd party developers to be able to use our web services, we use Forge for our development of the cloud-based services that we offer. Customers like Xinaps can leverage Forge in the same ways that we do.
Forge is defined by 7 groups of APIs.
Authentication for Forge is based on the industry standard OAuth, specifically OAuth2, that provides for token-based authentication and authorization. Xinaps logs into Forge to protect the security of Grundfos and Grundfos' customers' data.
The Data Management API includes its own Object Storage Service. The Object Storage Service allows Xinaps' solution to download and upload raw files (such as PDF, XLS, DWG, or RVT).
The Model Derivative API lets Xinaps represent and share designs in different formats, as well as to extract valuable metadata into various object hierarchies. With this API, Xinaps can extract metadata from Revit files pertinent to piping sizing. Xinaps can translate a design into different formats, such as STL and OBJ, but the key one is that they can have it translate a design into SVF for rendering files in the Viewer.
Autodesk Forge enables Xinaps to streamline the Grundfos water booster selection process based on building requirements. Typically, a building model undergoes multiple iterations throughout the design stage, which sometimes requires recalculation of the type of water booster solution. Since the information is traditionally disconnected from the BIM model, the analysis would have to be repeated. Grundfos wants to simplify this process by linking the water booster tool directly to the building model. This will assist an engineer in making the right choice through real-time analysis and visualizations.
Using the power of Forge, Xinaps is bringing Grundfos' expertise to the cloud. This not only enables easier data exchange and smoother collaboration but also ensures the latest water booster calculations are readily available to the right person. The cloud app has not launched just yet, as Xinaps and Grundfos are looking for enthusiastic MEP engineers who'd love to help shape the best features and design. If interested, sign up here.
Autodesk has always been an automation company, and today more than ever that means helping people make more things, better things, with less; more and better in terms of increasing efficiency, performance, quality, and innovation; less in terms of time, resources, and negative impacts (e.g., social, environmental). Autodesk Forge is an integral part of our automation plans. The improved process that Xinaps is creating for Grundfos via Forge is a perfect example of this. When it comes to water solutions, it's definitely not the "same as it ever was." Not the "same as it ever was." Not the "same as it ever was."
Flowing water is alive in the lab.

Thursday, April 23, 2015 during the Quilters Convention If Rouse, VK3BFR had lunch with about a dozen P.A.R.A. club members at Michael’s New York Style Pizza Restaurant here in Paducah. A welcomed visit. His wife is an avid quilter. This was their third visit back to Paducah. The conversation was lively and very informative. Hearing a VK/4 call on the 2 meter repeater was a real surprise! A number of local hams conversed with him during the week. Hope to see you back next year, 73’s from all of us here in Paducah, KY.

Kitchen utensils sometimes don’t feel there are many. This is the importance of a large hanging rack, easily open the lid and can store properly. The idea of not having a formal dining table and replacing it with a small table is the style of European and American kitchens.

The instructional time for SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT ranges from 12 hours (simulation exercises only) to 22 hours (simulation exercises, readings assignments, reading quizzes, and math quizzes). You can configure your course to include or exclude reading assignments (3.3 hours), reading quizzes (1.7 hours) and math quizzes (5 hours). For detailed instructions on how to configure your course, see Getting Started under Instructor Documentation on your instructor page.
Prior to beginning work with SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT, students should sign in to their account at vb.KnowledgeMatters.com and watch the Tutorial video.
In this lesson, students explore the relationship between price and demand. They are also introduced to the concept of yield management pricing. Students begin by setting a low uniform price for all tickets at a football game. This results in high demand--a sell out. They then raise prices to a uniform higher level. This results in the best seats selling out, but none of the other sections. Students then selectively price particular sections to sell them out at the highest possible price. Students review an income statement to see how their profitability is improving. Finally, students take control of pricing all the seats in their stadium and try to achieve a specific profit goal.
understand ticket pricing for both sporting events and concerts.
consider basic relationships between price and demand.
see why different seats command different prices.
discuss the concept of yield management pricing.
discuss the pros and cons of dynamic pricing.
Students sign in to SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT at vb.KnowledgeMatters.com.
Students complete the reading assignment (optional).
Students take the reading quiz (optional).
Students take the math quiz (optional).
Students click Run SIM and follow the lesson instructions.
Student progress and grades may be tracked from the Instructor page.
In this lesson, students explore staffing two key positions within their stadium: ushers and security. They start by intentionally setting staffing levels too low. They observe crowding and injuries that result in fines at a concert. At a football game, they have fans throwing trash on the field as well as fans moving to seats they didn’t pay for. They also learn how the lack of ushers leads to fewer people purchasing expensive tickets at subsequent games because they know they can freely move around in the stadium. Finally, students are challenged to staff their stadium, within a limited budget, yet still preventing fan security issues and unlawful switching of seats.
understand the need for adequate stadium staffing.
see the two vital functions that ushers play.
comprehend why security personnel are central to a smooth-functioning event.
discuss various approaches to preventing stadium violence.
In this lesson, students explore the challenges of getting fans into a large event in a smooth manner. They begin by planning ingress for an event with 10,500 fans. They calculate the number of satellite parking lots and buses that they will need. They then run through an event and observe ingress issues. Students note that accidents occur in the main parking lot, and fans cannot get in on time. They then look at three key employee positions for managing ingress and do computations to staff those correctly. They then run another event and see smooth operations. Finally, students are challenged to achieve smooth ingress at a series of events with almost double the attendance of previous events.
understand why ingress and egress are vital to the long-term success of stadium events.
discuss event transportation and parking options.
understand the relevance of the Americans with Disabilities Act to new stadium construction.
In this lesson, students try to maximize profits from parking at their events. They begin by setting a relatively high price for parking in their main lot. They observe low demand and numerous complaints. They learn how to read an income statement and analyze their revenue from parking. Next, students reduce their price for the main lot and see both demand and revenue increase. Finally, students are challenged to price both their main lot and their satellite parking lots to achieve an aggressive goal for total parking revenue.
understand why stadium parking is central to a positive fan experience.
discuss and evaluate other ways to arrive at and leave the stadium.
consider ways in which stadium owners can make stadium parking a compelling value proposition.
describe the connection between parking and tailgating.
provide an overview of concessions provided at stadiums and how they contribute to the fan experience.
detail why concessions are big business for stadium owners.
discuss how food and drink items at sporting events are priced.
highlight the importance of adhering to strict food safety guidelines for concessions.
understand the value of sponsors to sports teams and stadium owners.
discuss different types of sponsorship opportunities.
consider the best ways to price sponsorships.
see why TV broadcast rights are a lucrative revenue stream alongside sponsorships.
In this lesson, students use both market research and traditional forms of media to successfully promote events. They begin by using print media to promote an alternative rock concert. They discover that, in this case, that doesn’t work too well for them. By conducting a survey of fans and using segmentation tools, they discover that alternative rock fans are more likely to be reached by radio advertising. They then switch their budget dollars to radio and run through another concert. By analyzing financials, they see improvement in attendance and profitability. Finally, students are asked to use surveys and segmentation to discover the best way to reach football fans. They then try to achieve attendance targets at football games while staying under a specific advertising budget.
define traditional media and contrast it with new media and social media.
understand the role of the media planner in marketing an event.
define market research as the five steps media planners take to promote and measure an event.
In this lesson, students learn to use social media to promote an event. Specifically, they use an interface modeled directly after the Facebook advertising interface. They begin by running a concert with no promotion and observing the attendance. Next, they bring up the social media advertising interface and create a headline and text for their ad, select an image, choose a target audience, name the campaign and set a campaign budget. As the ad runs, they check the clicks generated. Students then run the concert and observe the increase in attendance. Finally, students are challenged to use social media advertising to hit an attendance target for a football game, while staying within a specific advertising budget.
explain the key characteristics of social media.
identify the key players in the social media space.
understand the right and wrong ways to use social media for marketing.
consider examples of social media marketing in sports and generate ideas for new campaigns.
In this lesson, students begin by learning how artists and promoters split profits from a concert. They then do a sample profit calculation. Next, students conduct market research to discover the most popular type of music in their city. Students then review a list of available bands using an interface modeled after online booking websites. They choose one that they can afford and that has a history of drawing a lot of fans at a good ticket price. They set ticket prices for the concert and promote the concert using a social media advertising interface. They then run the concert and use an income statement to analyze their profits. Finally, students are challenged to book additional concerts on their own and achieve a cumulative profit goal over time.
understand which acts perform at stadiums.
understand the logistics of booking large acts.
discuss the economics of stadium shows.
think through ways stadiums can continue to attract large acts.
In this lesson, students take over a losing football team with lousy, overpaid players. They begin at one position and sign an available player with better stats and lower salary than their current players. They run one game and see some, but limited, improvement in their performance. They begin releasing players that are underperforming yet drawing high salaries. Finally, students are challenged to work through all positions and find better, less expensive players. Their goal is to get a winning team while staying under a salary cap. This draws more fans and eventually causes the team to go from a financial loss to a profit.
state why player management is central to winning teams.
understand why player selection is so important.
think about what goes into player development—and why there are no guarantees.
see why team building is so important.
In the final project, students take complete control of their stadium. They manage ticket pricing, staffing, parking prices, ingress, concessions, promotion, sponsorships and more. They can book as many concerts as they can afford and want to manage. Their goal is to hit a specific profit target for a single season. They can run multiple seasons to meet the goal. Both teachers and students can see an online scoreboard showing how students are doing relative to one another. (Teachers have the option to turn this off.) Additionally, teachers have the option to set this up as a team activity in which students work cooperatively to reach the goal. After reaching the goal, students’ grades are finalized, but they can continue to run their simulation to explore and learn further.

Is a water table of love.
There is so much impressive about Zan’s work. Her blend of the psychological and spiritual is right on, an alchemical mix of the interpersonal, intrapersonal and transpersonal. Her writing is paradoxically accessible and profound at the same time. We, as the readers, sense that she writes about terrain that she knows intimately, and we are able to perceive ourselves through the lens of her humor, compassion and tenderness. It is clearly her passion that sends us her messages, and has the potential to awaken our own, along with the reminder that “safety never reaches into majesty.
—Marla Estes, M.A., Transpersonal Studies. Teacher, writer, co-facilitator.
Enter the poet into our lives, a risk-taker, laying out her vision of things and asking “Does this help?” She’s hoping each poem will cause us to exclaim in wonder, “I never thought of it that way!” If that’s not love, I don’t know what is. I suspect that by the end you will find poems you love, and you will say to yourself, “I’m not the same person as I was when first I began to read all this.” And in that case, I say, Good for Zan! And, good for you.
That run through my soul.
To what these cats see.
Reflecting quietly through nature’s eyes.
Melting mind’s more linear ways.
I forget this lake of love.
I can almost hear Zan Nix singing these lovely song-poems to help us “dine on words/and metaphors/ and sing through open hearts like doors.” With Zan we experience “the longing leopards that run through (the) soul,” and delight in Unchosen Poems filled with wisdom, heart and spirit.
—Susan Wooldridge, author of poemcrazy: freeing your life with words and Foolsgold: Making Something from Nothing and Freeing the Creative Process.

Four people have died from an outbreak of the lung infection Legionnaire's disease in northeastern Spain, regional health authorities said on Thursday.
Catalonia's regional health department reported earlier this week that two people had died in the outbreak in the town of Sabadell, near Barcelona.
It raised that toll to four after two people in their eighties died on Thursday. Currently 28 people have been diagnosed with the disease since September 5, it said.
Four patients have been discharged and 20 more remain in hospital.
"It cannot be ruled out that more people may turn out to be affected in the coming days as the incubation period for the disease is 10 days maximum," the department said in a statement.
Investigators were waiting for the results of tests carried out at sites suspected of being linked to the outbreak, the statement said.

Can I recover a Wi-Fi password?
I have forgotten my Wi-Fi password. How do I recover it or make a new one?
Either follow Justin's advice for connecting via a wired connection or access your wireless network using a device that already has access (like a smartphone maybe), head to your router's control panel (something like http://192.168.0.1) and you should be able to reset the password using that.
Worse comes to worst and you can't find any device or Ethernet cable, you can reset your router to FACTORY settings using a pin and the "Reset" button on the back/bottom of the unit. All routers have one of these buttons, press it while the router is on and it will lose all of your network information and you'll have to set up the router as if you had just bought it.
This means if your router has an inbuilt modem that is used to connect to the Internet, you will have to reconfigure your connection using your ISP settings.
I second that. Excellent piece of software!
If you find yourself having a hard time with remembering the password, it may be easiest to reset the router to factory defaults. This will erase all information and settings you have set, so you would have to set up every device again to work with the new router settings. To reset the router, find the reset button on the router and press it for about 10 seconds and it should be reset to factory defaults. Using software to try to get the password may take many hours or days, if at all.
Derp, can't believe I missed that. Good idea.
I assume the router is in your house. Plug it in using an ethernet cable, then use the software that came with your router to configure it.

Canadians love them some hockey.
Meet Jason Maslakow, arguably the biggest star of Game 2 between the Maple Leafs and Capitals. Maslakow was caught on camera look particularly ... enthusiastic ... and, of course, immediately became a meme.
Playoff hockey gets real weird.

Self Description: I could say that I am just a simple woman. Simple in doing habitual things, in dealing with the people around me, and a person who just has simple thoughts, but having colorful visions in life and simple attitudes that are remarkable. My parents raise me with good moral character. At first, I'm quite shy but when you get to know me better, you'll discover fun and loveliness within me. I'm a loving person and also wants to be loved in return.
Comments: I am not really longing for a perfect man because I know that there's no such perfect man exist in this world. I just want to find a trustworthy, faithful, and a man who could give his own unique way in showing his love towards me and my family. That would be enough for me to say that I have found the good and perfect man with his imperfections.

Cells possess mechanisms which work to block entry into the cell or export foreign small molecules out of the cell. This is generally advantageous for organism survival unless these molecules are antibiotics deployed to remove bacteria from an infection site or chemotherapy drugs used to destroy cancer cells. To better understand these cellular transports mechanisms it would be highly desirable to directly monitor the uptake and clearance of small drug molecules from cells. However, currently we are lacking imaging technologies that can measure the amount of a drug that has entered a cell. Historically, cellular drug uptake has been quantified by bursting (lysing) cells and measuring drug levels in the remaining solution, typically using spectroscopic methods. Although this approach has provided important insights it is restricted to the analysis of large cell populations. The focus of this PhD studentship is to develop a spectroscopic method to quantify drug uptake in single living cells.
This project will use a method termed Cavity-Reflection-Enhanced Light-Absorption. Cavity-Reflection-Enhanced Light-Absorption uses semi-transparent mirrors to circulate light multiple times through a sample so that the light absorption can be greatly enhanced. Given that the size of a single cell ranges from 0.5 microns (bacteria) to about 10 microns (cancer cells) this enhancement is needed to sensitively detect small light absorption changes associated with drug intake in an otherwise transparent intracellular environment. The PhD student conducting this project will be involved in building and optimizing a miniaturized single cell reflection enhanced spectrometer with a miniaturized detection chamber that can hold a single cell. The student will also be involved in quantifying antibiotic uptake in bacteria focusing on specific Escherichia Coli strains that are particularly virulent due to their ability to clear themselves of antibiotics.
The successful student will have a degree in physics, applied physics, biophysics or a related subject. Prior research experience is desirable but not essential.
This award provides annual funding to cover UK/EU tuition fees and a tax-free stipend. For students who pay UK/EU tuition fees the award will cover the tuition fees in full, plus at least £15,009 per year tax-free stipend. Students who pay international tuition fees are eligible to apply, but should note that the award will only provide payment for part of the international tuition fee and no stipend.
The studentship will be awarded on the basis of merit for 3 years of full-time study to commence in September 2019.

Go volunteer at an old peoples home to put on a game of bingo and a 15 minute comedy show once a week.
I am quite an introverted person, but recently started a new job as a hotel entertainment manager, part of my job requires me to do some entertaining. It has made me much more extroverted and sociable.
When I was a kid I never had to learn to make friends because my brothers friends became my friends and always accepted me at being part of their group. However when he graduated 2 years earlier than I, I was faced with no friends left at school and not really knowing how to. So I learned quickly you need to just start talking to people and be open and nice to them and they it will be returned.
I am pretty outgoing now and I always make it a point of saying hi to everyone and try to have a smile on myself. When I go to a place by myself I tend to just start chatting with people about something I see going on at the time. If there is something on tv at the bar I will talk about that if its interesting or it can be about the food. Now that I have kids I chat with the parents on the way in and out of school.
thanks for both your answers @poisonedantidote im looking at volunteer work in my area as we speak, @creative1 i do try and be open and say hi to people the problem i get is what happens after its like i reach point blank and have no idea what to say and then comes the awkward silence! which i dread!
Look at what they are wearing, do you like their shoes, purse, do you have a blouse they have or like anything they are wearing??? I notice my daughter has now picked this up from me even though she is adopted, people love to talk about themselves and how they aquired something. Makes for great conversation starters…..My daughters favorite thing to talk about is shoes she will notice when someone at school gets a new pair and will ask them about them, where they got them and such its so cute she is only 3.
Great time to join a club or take a class in something you’ve always been interested in.
Or become a TV Evangelist.
There is a web site (forget what it is). But it has listings of all sorts of different social clubs that you can join. Somebody here knows what it is… I can’t remember it. All sorts of activities available.
The trick is to be yourself and find others that share your interests.
Do not EVER bend yourself into something you are not just to please others, find friends or, and this is really important, for any romantic relationship!
If you pretend to be intested in someone or something you are not the relationship can never be genuine as it will be contrived from the get go.
Relax, and in the meantime learn to enjoy your own company while looking for new friends and activities.
Being happy and comfortable with yourself is paramount!
Good luck….you can do it, and yes…keep putting the positive spin on things!
I am 50 and just let go of a friend that no longer was serving my best interests.
Get ready to re-invent yourself MANY times as you traverse your life path!
I really agree with @Coloma Look for something to do that will interest you and you’ll find people who are interested in that too. That makes talking easier right there. “How did you get interested? How long? What do you like best about it?” You’ll have a new place to go and new people to meet. Classes, activities, service groups, church groups,sports teams, are all good places to meet people. You’re on your way already. Good luck!
They have all different types of interest groups and if you don’t see any topics that interest you, you can start one of your own.
I was amazed at the variety of choices and areas of interest.
Yup that’s IT!!! @Buttonstc is a STAR!!!
Don’t think for a second that there aren’t thousands of others who feel exactly the same way as you do.
I’m starting a writers/poets group in my area right now!
You’ve got the mission statement down already pretty good!
Don’t go for all from the beginning.
For instance when deciding to go where most people go at first just go there and look around a bit and then leave for a while .. maybe return later… anyway when you go there don’t go in the middle, stay at a side.
When making friends start with someone who is very open so you won’t feel the silence wich comes after HI. Oh and do not ask questions that can be answered with yes or no .. ask about personal opinions. For instance ask them about their favourite band or a recent movie.
Who suggested volunteering was right but don’t start with that .. start talking with people first then go for it.
It’s good that you started here ^^ You’ll get some self confidence.
Who hates a "soggy" bowl of cereal in milk?
How to put ponytail in with one hand?
Can you help me understand this thought process?
In what ways do you personally seek to "be the change you wish to see in the world?"?
Do you like break-up songs?
What scenario, location & company would see you at your best?
If we know that knowledge is acquired faster and better through positive experiences, why do we still insist upon defending arguments (here and in RL) as educational?
