PERRING, JOHN SHAE (1813–1869), civil engineer and explorer, was born at Boston in Lincolnshire on 24 Jan. 1813. He was educated at Donington grammar school, and then articled, on 28 March 1826, to Robert Reynolds, the surveyor of the port of Boston, under whom he was engaged in surveying, in the enclosure and drainage of the Fens, in the improvements of Boston Harbour and of Wainfleet Haven, and the outfall of the East Fen, in the drainage of the Burgh and Croft marshes, and other works. In 1833 he proceeded to London, and was there employed in engineering establishments. In March 1836 he went to Egypt, under contract with Galloway Brothers of London, as assistant engineer to Galloway Bey, then manager of public works for Mahomed Ali, viceroy of Egypt. One of the first undertakings on which Perring was engaged was the construction of a tramway from the quarries near Mex to the sea. After the death of Galloway he became a member of the board of public works, was consulted as to the embankment of the Nile, advocated the establishment of stations in the Desert between Cairo and Suez to facilitate the overland transit, and was employed to make a road with the object of carrying out this scheme.
From January to August 1837 he was busy helping Colonel Howard Vyse and others in making a survey of the pyramids at Gizeh, and in the execution of plans, drawings, and maps of these monuments. He had already published ‘On the Engineering of the Ancient Egyptians,’ London, 1835, six numbers. The years 1838 and 1839 he spent in exploring and surveying the pyramids at Abou Roash, and those to the southward, including Fayoom. His services to Egyptian history are described in ‘The Pyramids of Gizeh, from actual survey and admeasurement, by J. E. [sic] Perring, Esq., Civil Engineer. Illustrated by Notes and References to the several Plans, with Sketches taken on the spot by E. J. Andrews, Esq., London, 1839, oblong folio. Part i.: The Great Pyramid, with a map and sixteen plates; part ii.: The Second and Third Pyramids, the smaller to the southward of the Third, and the three to the eastward of the Great Pyramid, with nineteen plates; part iii.: The Pyramids to the southward of Gizeh and at Abou Roash, also Campbell's Tomb and a section of the rock at Gizeh, with map of the Pyramids of Middle Egypt and twenty-one plates.’ Perring's labours are also noticed in Colonel R. W. H. H. Vyse's ‘Operations carried on at the Pyramids of Gizeh in 1837, with account of a Voyage into Upper Egypt, and an Appendix containing a Survey by J. S. Perring of the Pyramids of Abou Roash,’ 3 vols. 4to, 1840–2 (i. 143 et seq., ii. 1 et seq., iii. 1 et seq.), with a portrait of Perring in an eastern costume. Perring, before leaving Egypt, made a trigonometrical survey of the fifty-three miles of country near the pyramids. The value of these researches, all made at the cost of Colonel Vyse, are fully acknowledged in C. C. J. Bunsen's ‘Egypt's Place in Universal History,’ 5 vols. 1854 (ii. 28–9, 635–45), where it is stated that they resulted in furnishing the names of six Egyptian kings till then unknown to historians.
Perring returned to England in June 1840, and on 1 March 1841 entered upon the duties of engineering superintendent of the Llanelly railway docks and harbour. In April 1844 he became connected with the Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale railway, which he helped to complete; and, after its amalgamation with other lines, was from 1846 till 1859 resident engineer of the East Lancashire railway. He was subsequently connected with the Railway, Steel, and Plant Company, was engineer of the Ribblesdale railway, and constructed the joint lines from Wigan to Blackburn. He was also engineer of the Oswaldtwistle and other waterworks. Finally, he was one of the engineers of the Manchester city railways. On 6 Dec. 1853 he was elected a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, and in 1856 a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He died at 104 King Street, Manchester, on 16 Jan. 1869.

When Tiger Woods emerged as a PGA Tour star a little more than a decade ago, the enthusiasm he sparked in the game of golf was dubbed the “Tiger effect.” All over the world, tens of thousands of budding golfers – especially young people and minorities -- were attracted to the game because of his success.
The industry wisely attempted to cash in on that wave of interest by creating programs designed to turn these Tiger fans into golfers. The result was an unprecedented boom in golf development, equipment sales and play.
But a crippling economic slowdown in the wake of the 9-11 attacks and more recently a devastating recession has left many developers and operators struggling to find solid footing. The “Tiger effect” long ago seemed to fade.
Now, with Woods returning to the PGA Tour with much fanfare after an eight-month layoff because of surgery, some in the industry are hoping that his high-profile quest to eclipse Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 major wins will stimulate a new wave of interest in the game.
Is that realistic, or is it simply wishful thinking to hope that the “Tiger effect” can return? And has there been any lasting impact from that original stimulus provided by Woods? How many of those original “Tiger effect” golfers have operators able to keep playing?
Excuse me . . . anyone who thinks there was a "Tiger Effect" at the golf course level when Mr. Woods came on the scene probably didn't spend much time standing behind the sales counter at a public golf course. I have been a public golf course operator for 25 years. We didn't see a Tiger effect when we saw him for the first time, and we don't expect to see one now that Tiger is back in the heat of competition. I was there . . . behind the sales counter . . . when Tiger won his first U.S. Amateur . . . and U.S. Open . . . and Masters . . . and what I was reading about is not what I saw. Lots of buzz, lots of TV ratings, but no measurable impact at the public golf course cash register. The Tiger Effect was hoped-for (but pretty much invisible) in terms of new golfers (including non-traditional golfers) here in Ohio, where public courses have been "open to all" for many, many years. Tiger Woods is an incredible athlete and ery definitely boosts TV ratings for the Tour. Tiger Woods has not (at least in my limited but pretty specific experience) put very many new golfers on very many golf courses that I know about. Call me a cynic or a devil's advocate or a realist. But I trust my experience.
Maybe rounds did not go up, but I assure you that we would have lost many players had he not come along. Bottom line, he retained the interest of those who currently play.
The Tiger Woods effect never happened. Our facility is near Washington, D.C. and our county is over 62% African American and if did not happen here, it didn't happen any where! Whoever, it did happen for network TV and the PGA Tour.
I think he has helped the world of golf, but I do not appreciate it, when he throws a club to the ground, because he missed a putt. That kind of action sends the wrong message to other golfers. This happened on Sunday March 15th. No Professional Golfer should be permitted to get away with that.
Tiger effect? The tiger effect to most of us who operate golf courses is simply the same measure as what the TV ratings are when Tiger is playing well, or playing poorly. Simply put, ratings are poor when he is floundering, and ratings are high when he is contending. As an advid golfer for over 40 years, and as a PGA professional, it is sad to not see other PGA stars and competitors get their TV time and coverage and hype when they are doing well on Saturday and Sunday. Instead, we are forced to watch coverage and replays of a player who is 10 strokes out of the lead..... that is what we saw this past weekend. Tiger watching on the weekend...we have seen this pattern before and the TV networks will show us again, unfortunately for several more years. As advid golfers we should be watching 3-4 hours of weekend play and coverage of the leaders and contenders; if we do not get that coverage, then we should be turning the TV off and go play at our local golf facility. Wake up golfers of America!
You give "Tiger effect" to much credit, most follower's have either left the game or moved on...Golf Industry slow to catch up with trends. Growth initiatives such as First Tee and Golf 20/20, etc. have quickly lost luster and support to other competing interests. However, PGA Tour still suffering effects of lame one-trick-pony show. This is soon to end too, with Tournament corporate sponsership feeling pinch of the economy and wrath of stock holders on unethical spending.
The debate about a Tiger effect misses the point. Even if you agree that he was responsible for any past boom in interest, or more importantly, actual play, it is pure folly to expect the industry to grow simply because of Tiger Woods. And, it’s beyond ridiculous to “hope” that his quest to pass Jack Nicklaus will bring new players into the game. How about this: businesses, and anyone else with influence and responsibility in the industry do what Tiger does when faced with adversity. Work harder, and make any and all changes necessary to get back on top. The golf industry, in almost every segment has been behind the curve with respect to making the kind of changes in management and business practices that will result in long term stability and profit. There’s no denying that the forces outside of golf (economic, social and family issues, etc) are more challenging that ever, but it’s also undeniable that too many in the industry have been unwilling to make the hard, calculating decisions that Tiger does about what it takes to succeed. Tiger is a tremendous brand, and a worldwide advocate for the game, but he’s not the Messiah. Golf is a great game, but the business of golf is still subject to the rules of the marketplace which these days are very unforgiving.
After reading most of these comments about the "Tiger effect", I have to admit that in some respects I think they are right: little, or negligible, effect on actual "play" on a lot of courses. However, the "Effect" has profound impact on many areas: retail sales, tv revenue, viewership, "tourism", First Tee/TWLC's, the 'auto' industry, etc. My personal experience (former owner of GC), is that most golf courses have a "want" to sponsor junior golf (which is where the true growth in daily fee golf is coming from in years to come), womens golf (the NEXT highest potential income stream, especially from a hard and soft goods standpoint), and "function golf"...outings sponsored for corps, charities, groups (teens, singles, etc.). Does Tiger have an effect in these areas? Most DEFINITELY in bringing kids/teens into the game, not so much in the other areas. One of the primary reasons, is income. Generally speaking, the "sponsorship" of young people in the game by way of reduced rates, hampers the ability for revenue. They occupy tee times that, generally speaking, can be used by "full rate" players...However, this is much like planting a fruit tree: it takes time to mature to get the fruit. After all, how many pros do you hear saying: I grew up on a golf course. My ________ was a super/greenskeeper/marshall/member etc. at a club. I used to caddy at ___________, and that is where the pro first saw me and took an interest. In sum, the effect Tiger has is difficult to calculate, but, we ALL know it's there. It's the seed with which we can all get fruit!!!!
Has anyone ever considered that when Tiger is in the lead golfers stay home to watch the event on TV rather than play themselves. And I also wonder if the average golfer can relate to the $3 million dollar appearance Fees that Tiger gets. I think Tiger is great but I also think the Tiger effect really effects Tiger the most.
When Tiger first starting playing know of many blacks who started to play. However most of them stopped - probably because it is difficult and takes along time. But some did stay with the game. Hopefully as Tiger does get closer to Jack's record and with Obama as President more blacks will start to play.
The problem with the analysis of the golf industry is that it takes too broad a view. Individual locales around the country are doing better than ever before, but these stats get lost in "the big picture." As for developers who put their ego's ahead of the rational lobes in their brains and built expensive to play and maintain monuments to themselves instead of economically viable and playable golf courses, their failure is theirs alone and should not be placed on the mantle of the individual golfer or the industry in general.
I for one, am a bigger fan of at least three other golfers and since Tiger has returned I have noticed that on TV coverage we see his every shot even when he not near the lead. Shameful we don't see more of the others and their talent.
Frank Gardner hit the nail on the head and "slammed it in." Couldn't agree more with you! Thanks for your opinion.
If golf were more affordable the game would prosper. Its a sport you can play at any age and for life. Problem is, too many high priced courses.
I golf three to four times a week at our local course and the owner of that course is a dear friend. I know for a fact that he keeps his greens fees low in an effort to draw more play. More courses doing this would encourage more play.
Let's be very realistic. You can't hang the entire problem on Tiger Woods. He's been great for the game of golf. TV ratings nearly triple every time he commits to a tournament. Once again, ratings. More people are not playing football because the NFL has become "America's New Sport". Tiger is entertaining to watch. It's going to be a long time before another golfing talent will come along as well as he plays year after year. Just because he spurs interest for people to watch does not mean more people are "going to tee it up". I would like to make a comment to Frank Gardner's comment. I have been a PGA member for over 10 years and active in the Northern Texas PGA ever since. Blaming the PGA members for not growing the game is an absolute lie. Most PGA members care for deeply this game and feel like they are the guardians of the game. While Frank is playing with the "good old boys" sipping beer after a round, most PGA members are out on the driving range trying to help someone with their game. PGA members are not like what they were 50 years ago. I ask you, is any profession the same as it was much less than 50 years ago, how about 10 or 5 years ago? We have a variety of duties and if he cannot understand the modern day PGA professional, it is his loss. My only request is do not blame the hard working men and women of the PGA of America, but rather accept that the game is a) expensive to play, b) time consuming, and c) the entire country is in an economic crisis.
Here we go again, Tiger throws another club, and almost hit his Caddie. I am a Golf Course Superintendent, and I do not like what he is showing other golfers. The other golfers throw clubs, take divots on greens, do not rake bunkers, and do not follow the rules for carts for the day. I am very happy, when Tiger wins, but he needs to push to people, that they need to respect the golf course. We Superintendents work hard to produce the best course our budgets can provide. We need the help of the PGA Pros to help us. Tiger, tell people you respect, what we are trying to do, and help us educate the public!!!!

The concept of Nigerian poetry is at once as interesting and problematic as that of the Nigerian post-colony itself. Interesting because, regardless of its unstable and amorphous constitution, it has continued to subsist, defying, as it does, the law of gravity; and, problematic in one breath because its very definition and its constitutive properties vary from habitus to originary habitus with particular reference to ethnic claims and, hence, epistemic afflatus.
Given this problematic conceptualization of “Nigerian Poetry”, it has become something of a lazy, if normalizing, sleight-of-hand to speak, descriptively. The poetries emerging from within the geographic province of the nation-state as “Nigerian Poetry” is a group of ethnically-informed, religiously-nuanced and culture-bound verse-making whose critical appraisal must be conducted from within its specific socio-cultural ideational matrices.
But, like everything “Nigerian”, seeking to critique this body of dissimilar but inter-related poetries from an ethnically-informed prism would be misconstrued and denounced as an assault on logic, or, in political terms, as heretical, if not downright unpatriotic. But since the business of scholarship authorizes research as re-search, it therefore behooves us to rethink and re-conceptualize and, ultimately, re-operationalize the notion of Nigerian poetry with a view to properly situating its heuristic and hortatory potentialities. If, indeed, we take ourselves seriously in our determined pursuit of the truth about the integrity of the phenomenon of “Nigerian poetry”, we should be speaking of it in the plural, to wit, Nigerian poetries (in other words, Yoruba-English Poetry, Igbo-English Poetry, Urhobo-English poetry, Ika-English Poetry and so forth!).
To do that would, of course, create the uncomfortable impression of an “enemy national” out to put a knife to that which holds us together as a (homogenous?) people (‘Though tribe and tongue may differ, in brotherhood we stand, the defunct National Anthem proclaimed!). But beyond the political correctness of a pan-Nigerian posturing and/or the feel-good, anodyne shibboleths of patriotese, the prickly truth of the heterogeneity of our poetries continues to stare us in the face. What, in concrete terms, does, say Wole Soyinka’s poetry have in common with Christopher Okigbo’s poetry; or what communion has Niyi Osundare’s verse with Tanure Ojaide’s poetry? To venture an answer here, however, it is pretty straightforward to stress the point that these poets all hail from the same country, write in and speak English, the country’s official language, and, to that extent, are all united by factors of context, that is, Nigerian polity, and language, that is, the English language. But if we take the trouble to interrogate the linguistic and the contextual minutiae of their work, it would become quite apparent that what divides these literary avatars are more deeply-entrenched than what unites them.
The troubling and vexatious details of the strife-riven ethnically-charged Nigerian politics do not only shape their linguistic ideology but, far more significantly, colour their reading of history and the relationship between poet and polity. To speak a bit more about language, it is common knowledge that every writer from a postcolonial country wrestles with the English language, especially one from an Anglo-phone nation-state (cf: T.S. Eliot’s “intolerable wrestle with words”). As Niyi Osundare typically brilliantly posits in the case of a Yoruba-born Nigerian poet, when two languages meet, they kiss and quarrel. Does this apply to both the Igbo-born poet and the Yoruba-born poet in equal measure and in every material particular? Not quite, we daresay: for Igbo and Yoruba, though both of them, tone or tonal syllable-timed languages, have phonological, syntactic, morphological and, thus, semantic features unique to each of them.
Embedded and deeply-ingrained in each language is a particular philosophy of life which, in turn, invariably permeates the social values, the patterns of thinking, religious outlook and the epistemology of that particular ethnic group. Yoruba is Yoruba, Igbo is Igbo. What, therefore, comes through as Soyinka’s poetry, for example, is an admixture of Yoruba oral tradition and western poetic tradition. By the same token, Okigbo’s poetry is steeped in autochthonous Igbo orality and a welter of foreign-derived literary traditions.
Using both Soyinka and Okigbo as template, we can very easily analyse the socio-cultural features of any Nigerian poet. Therefore, just as it has become increasingly difficult to speak of African literature due largely to the multiplicity of nationalities, ethnicities and communicative idioms which make up Africa, so does the description of Nigerian Poetry as a single, homogenous body of writing leave much to be desired. What is being proposed here, for whatever it is worth, is that, in the light of present realities, geopolitical and all, it may be more intellectually rewarding and, of course, more factual to take another, more dispassionate look at the criticism of Nigerian poetry, and, this time, from a decidedly ethnically-informed perspective.
The merit of this procedure is that, shorn of the lie of cultural homogeneity, the critic is more equipped and better informed to plumb the depths of any Nigerian writing under analysis as he or she is required to situate the work within its socio-cultural milieu and, thereafter, stake out its proper place within the larger Nigerian social life. Poetry originating from the so-called minority ethnic groups would have their day in the sun. We can then have, say, Efik-English poetry, Esan-English Poetry, Isoko-English Poetry and Nupe-English Poetry and so on. Beyond showcasing the vast cultural diversity of Nigerian Poetry as a whole, these poetries from hitherto suppressed and marginalized social groups would be brought to the fore coupled with the fact that their academic or discursive respectability would be established. To this extent, therefore, uprooted scholars and prodigal researchers must recognize the need to return home to their villages and localities to collaborate with their unlettered townsfolk who are the custodians of their artistic patrimony lest they die out with their artistic heritage. To be sure, the importance of this town-gown synergy cannot be overstated, particularly against the backdrop of the depredations of globalization.
In talking about what we have referred to as the “Lost or Careless Generation” of Nigerian Poetry, it is important to clear the deck from the viewpoint of periodisation before we delve into the nitty-gritty of the modus operandi, the distinguishing features as well as the triumphs and troughs of the emergent tendency. Many scholars and historians of literature over the years have tried to furnish what in their considered views could be regarded as the definitive periodisation of Nigerian Poetry.
Some of these scholars include Harry Garuba, Biodun Jeyifo, Donatus Ibe Nwoga, Senanu and Theo Vincent and Tijan Sallah and Tanure Ojaide. Jeyifo remarks, for example, that: If there are now about five distinct generations of writers, critics and scholars of modern African literature, the first two generations came into their own in the epoch of the high tide of decolonization while the last two generations have been confronted with the specters of arrested decolonization, failing or collapsed states, economic stagnation, widespread autocratic misrule and the delegitimization of the grand narratives of emancipation which held that the liberation of African peoples in the modern world is indissolubly linked to the liberation of all the oppressed peoples of the world.
In spite of the perceptive and near-accurate analysis of Nigerian literary history given by Biodun Jeyifo, it appears far more accurate and, indeed, intellectually rewarding to stick to the periodisaton provided by Sallah and Ojaide in their jointly-edited anthology of African poetry entitled New African Poetry: An Anthology. According to these African poet-critics, there are three distinct generational cohorts in Nigerian, nay, African poetry, namely (1) the Nationalist poets such as Nnamdi Azikiwe and Osadebe who wrote poetry in imitation of the 19th-century British poets, as part of the momentous anti-colonial struggle and the agitation for self-determination; (2) the Independence Generation, that is, African poets who came of age during the heyday of political independence across Africa; and, in the Nigerian situation, this refers to the so-called Wole Soyinka-Clark-Okigbo coterie; and (3) the group of African poets who had cut their teeth on the works of their immediate predecessors but dissatisfied with their precursors’ performance, saw the need to steer a different course, thus inaugurating at once a thematic and formal sea-change in Nigerian verse-making.
Sallah and Ojaide, both among this coterie of African poets, identify some characteristic features of this school/tendency/sensibility, features which include limpidity of diction, a clear class consciousness or poetic ideology, a sense of propaganda, instrumental orchestration of poetry, otherwise known as “performance poetry”, antiphony, the adroit incorporation of indigenous oral poetic forms (in the Yoruba context, such as oriki (panegyric poetry), ofo (incantations), Ijala (hunters’ chants, ese ifa (Ifa Divination poetry); iremoje (valedictory verse); owe (proverbial lore) alo apamo (riddles and jokes) and epe (curses/imprecations). Additionally, these poets regard themselves as agents of change – radical, progressive and revolutionary change – poet – prophet/seers, social gadflies, ideologues, notably left-leaning revolutionary arbiters of taste and social health. Among these poet seers are Odia Ofeimun, Niyi Osundare, Okimba Launko, Funso Aiyejina, Obiora Udechukwu, Ossie Enekwe, Catherine Acholonu, Afam Akeh and Harry Garuba.

'Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers' Is a Hit in ... China?
Documenting an infamous episode in U.S. history, the play is showing for the second time in three years.
A little less than two years ago, the play, "Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers," came to China by way of Los Angeles, playing to mostly student audiences in small theaters in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
I took in one performance on the campus of Peking University that felt illicit: Organizers told us they couldn't collect money for tickets and hastily ushered us into seats. As we sat in our winter coats inside an unheated theater, we watched the play -- and our breath -- as Chinese subtitles were projected on the side of the stage. Cheers erupted mid-way through the play when the actor playing Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee announced that the paper would go ahead and publish documents detailing the escalating U.S. role in the Vietnam War.
The evening was scheduled to end with an on-stage discussion from the actors and producers about the themes raised in "Top Secret" -- freedom of the press, government secrets, and the role of the judiciary -- until promoter Alison Friedman announced that she had received a text message ordering her to cancel the discussion. A manager at the university feared what she called "unexpected consequences" from a "freewheeling" talk, and balked.
We were again hastily ushered, this time out into the Beijing cold. But although the moment felt heady and dangerous, that sense of drama was probably just a bit overwrought: The organizers went on to hold post-play discussions at 8 other sold-out performances that year. When it was all said and done, "Top Secret" sold out all ten performances, receiving shouts of approval and standing ovations at every turn.
Back this year, "Top Secret" is now getting the star treatment. The play is scheduled for a three-night run at Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts in June, the first time any American play has appeared inside the grande dame of Chinese music and theater. It's also set for performances in Tianjin, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Fuling, and Chongqing.
And this time around, it's getting support in the form of a grant from the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, as well as a range of other sponsors including the Ford Foundation, China Southern Airlines, and Marriott Hotels and Resorts.
The 2011 success of "Top Secret" proves a point about what works in Chinese theater, says producing director Susan Loewenberg of LA Theatre Works. "Nobody thought we could do it. Everybody thought it was a crazy thing to do. A lot of China watchers said, 'How can you bring a play about freedom of the press? How could you bring a play in English?' All of the naysayers were all over it."
The play, chronicling in somewhat talky detail the 1971 story of the Pentagon Papers, was initially turned away from larger venues because Chinese theaters couldn't be convinced the project was commercially viable, says Alison Friedman of Ping Pong Productions.
But once they got past being star-struck, audiences seemed genuinely interested in the topic, even if it was the first time they'd heard of it. Christina Han, 29, a Chinese businesswoman who saw the play in 2011, says she knew about Watergate but not the Pentagon Papers. Her immediate reaction was that "this would never happen in China." Not having a "proper rule of law," she says, will ultimately have negative consequences for the Chinese economy as foreign investment shies away and special interests wield too much power.
If someone had tried to publish the equivalent of the Pentagon Papers in China, Han adds, that person would have landed in jail. "Obviously, the judicial system is not set up to protect individuals."
Writing on Weibo in 2011, one Chinese viewer said, "It's not only about the First Amendment but also about people's right to be informed."
And while that message is certainly true, the play's producers are cautious about stepping on toes. "I think the worst thing we can do is bring a holier-than-thou play where America is doing everything right," says Loewenberg. "I think one of the strengths of the play is to show American democracy, warts and all."
As for the after-play discussions, the organizers are taking a different approach this time. While there will still be public conversations with lawyers and journalists about the play, they won't be held immediately after the show ends. "We thought it was more appropriate for another setting," says Friedman. The schedule for those talks is still in the works.
The play's Beijing run starts on June 4th -- a date with its own significance in China. Organizers claim that scheduling the play's opening on the anniversary of the 1989 massacre at Tiananmen Square was pure coincidence. Even so, starting a talk about government missteps on a date one cannot even mention online without being blocked has its own congruity.

Kendra raises her eyebrows in surprise at the sudden question as she isn't expecting it. With Tethys, she understands him for the most part, so she knows what she is working with. She doesn't know Magus at all, but she knows that he is dangerous. "I'm going to need some very compelling reasons to side with you," she finally says.
Tulbas quietly casts a spell while Tethys and William talk to each other. At the same time, Haahqae swallows some more potion before anyone notices him. Gobax, meanwhile, prepares a spell of his own, just in case.
"We will never surrender to tyranny," William is saying. "This all ends tonight. The slavery, the torture, the unjust imprisonment, the murder. In the name of the Platinum Dragon, we will bring peace back to this city!"
Tethys snorts. "You dare mention that weakling god in my presence? Fools, you've already lost. You never had a chance. Even if you do somehow kill me, then what? Face the entire army? My dragons? Even if you clear the entire city of everyone last one of us, you do realize the emperor will just send a new army, a bigger one, with more dragons, and will just wipe this pathetic city right off the map? Face it. There is no win scenario here. Takhisis has already won this war. Give up, and I'll show you mercy. Don't throw away your lives for a cause you can't possibly win."
Tulbas casts Spectral Hand for 10 rounds.
Haahqae drinks another 1/8 of his Potion of Invisibility. He becomes invisible again.
"You mean being on the winning side isn't enough?" asks Magnus. "Fair enough then. Swear your loyalty to me, and I'll let you give this elf a quick death." He chuckles at her reaction. "You aren't quite the actress you think you are. It's clear you care about his well being on some level. I'll let you give him a quick, painless death. Or I can turn him over to the church, where he'll be tortured for days, even weeks before he finally passes. But by that point, his mind will be mush."
From the safety of his invisiblity and hiding spot; Haahqae starts ranting. "You're both crazy."
He turns towards the prefect as best as his position can allow without making himself a target. "You're a total disaster of a prefect. You make it a habit of wrongly accusing random people of things that shouldn't even be against the law, you've set extremely high taxes and just have the money sitting around in vaults unused and you have decimated the population and economy of the city with no recourse or safetynet. The city has suffered greatly under your short rule already, and if things keep on going this way soon there won't be a city, but rather a hollow desolate cluster of buildings."
"You said that if we surrendered you'd kill us with forced labor, then when you learned that one of us worshiped one of the gods that you've been meticulously hunting down for ill intent you changed your proposition to let us live if we surrendered? Are you that scared, or are you lying? Either way you're not making surrendering sound like an attractive option."
Turning towards William he rattles off a different rant "And you're not all that much better. You rush to action without proper planning or backup plans, if you have a plan for what to do after the prefect dies; if you manage to do so you haven't deem ed to share that knowledge with the rest of us and you put your faith in some minor gods that abandoned us centuries ago and haven't given me the time of day to believe that they're back or that they even care about this city beyond a few minor spells that aren't entirely dissimilar to what any decent illusionist or necromancer could accomplish. You say the war is turning against the dragonarmy; but can't bring in help or time your attack to coordinate with outside troops"
And with that said; Haahqae scuttles out from under the bed and quietly incants a little charm that will allow him to to get to safety and maybe find an advantageous position when the fighting begins.
"...Fine," Kendra says. "But why do you want my loyalty in the first place?"
Following the 'Spectral Hand' Tulbas casts 'Vampiric Touch'.
"You literally just joined us a day ago, and you expect me to divulge all of our secrets already?" William asks rhetorically to thin air, trying to determine which direction the voice of Haahqae is coming from.
"Enough of this!" Tethys snaps. Haahqae's words seem to have pissed him off, because he seems to retract his offer of surrender. "Take them all!" He then begins chanting a spell, and soon a bilious cloud of green gas appears just outside the bedroom door, engulfing the party. William, Gobax and Tulbas manage to avoid breathing any in, but Miriam, Pen and Fiona are forced to withdraw, coughing and choking.
William casts his own spell, and a sphere of silence drops on the eastern side of the room, a bit too late to stop Tethys' first spell, but sufficient to stop future ones. Fortunately, Haahqae finishes his own spell beforehand. Tulbas and Gobax each cast spells, as well. The latter's manages to bypass Tethys' magic and spell resistance, and he becomes frozen in place. However, quite a few Baaz still stand between him and the party, to protect him.
Two of the baaz to move forward to attack William, just outside of the cloud, but the cleric easily deflects their attacks without breaking a sweat.
Tethys casts Stinking Cloud just outside the entrance of the bedroom for 6 rounds.
----Pen saves vs. poison (1d20): 2, fail. He cannot act for (1d4+1): 4+1 = 5 rounds.
----Fiona saves vs. poison (1d20): 4, fail. She cannot act for (1d4+1): 1+1 = 2 rounds.
----William saves vs. poison (1d20+1): 20+1 = 21, pass. He is unaffected.
----Miriam saves vs. poison (1d20): 8, fail. She cannot act for (1d4+1): 2+1 = 3 rounds.
----Tulbas saves vs. poison (1d20): 16, pass. He is unaffected.
----Gobax saves vs. poison (1d20): 16, pass. He is unaffected.
Haahqae casts Spider Climb on himself for 7 rounds.
Miriam coughs and chokes, and moves 10 feet east, out of the stinking cloud.
Baaz 02 moves 10 feet southwest and slashes his long sword at William against his chain mail (-2 hit) and shield (-1 hit) [TH 19] (1d20-3): 18-3 = 15, miss.
Gobax casts Hold Person on Tethys.
----Tethys resists magic [MR 20%] (1d100): 23, fail.
----Tethys saves vs. spell [+2 for spell resistance, -2 for being only target] (1d20): 7, fail. He is held in place for 10 rounds.
Baaz 04 protects the prefect.
Baaz 05 moves 10 feet southeast and slashes his long sword at William against his chain mail (-2 hit) and shield (-1 hit) [TH 19] (1d20-3): 5-3 = 2, miss.
William casts Silence, centered on the east side of the room for 12 rounds.
Tulbas casts Vampiric Touch for 10 rounds.
Pen coughs and chokes, and moves 5 feet to the west, out of the stinking cloud.
Baaz 03 protects the prefect.
Baaz 06 protects the prefect.
Baaz 08 protects the prefect.
Baaz 01 protects the prefect.
Fiona coughs and chokes, and moves 5 feet to the west, out of the stinking cloud.
"Because you are the prefect's favored bodyguard at the moment," Magnus replies. "Well, aside from Inferno. If the resistance scum does somehow assassinate him, your favor will greatly benefit whoever takes his place. And should the prefect survive, having his favored bodyguard on my side is bound to prove fruitful in the future. Either way, it's a boon for me."
We should fall back out of the fumes! grubnick calls, throwing hid flask (or stones, see below) before stepping back and leaving room for William to get clear of the cloud.
"...Very well," Kendra says. "Give me a few minutes alone with the elf, and then we can be on our way."
Tulbas leaves the cloud area and attacks with his spectral hand the nearest Baaz.
Talking certainly isn't got to get anyone anywhere; so Haahqae shimmies up the bed frame and along the ceiling until he's poised above Tethys; ready to strike when the time is right.
(OoC: Am I allowed to delay my attack until after everyone else has acted? What I want to do is climb up behind Tethys then backstab him with my highest damage weapon; but I want to move before the rest of the baaz can act; and attack after they've all acted).
As most of the Resistance coughs and hacks, trying to avoid the gas cloud, Gobax manages to toss a flask into the bedroom. It strikes one of the baaz perfectly, breaks and then explodes, petrifying the creature and the one next to it, and nearly killing a third. It also starts a fire, which slowly begins to spread throughout the room.
William attempts another spell, but quickly is overtaken by a cough and is forced to exit the cloud, as well. Tulbas, before he is forced to step out of the cloud, has his spectral hand touch one of the baaz and drains him of all life, discharging his vampiric touch spell. This heals Tulbas fully, and in fact, leaves him feeling better than ever.
Finally, biding his time, Haahqae scours up the bedpost and grabs hold of the ceiling. He tries crawling along it, like a spider. But a spider is weightless, while Haahqae weighs over 80 pounds and is carrying another 40 pounds of gear. He doesn't make it very far before the ceiling, which was not designed to hold that much weight, breaks. He falls and crashes to the floor, his hands and legs still stuck to pieces of plaster. However, this all happens soundlessly, as he is still in William's silence spell. Most of the baaz don't even notice that an invisible person has crashed from the ceiling, except for one, who happened to be looking in that direction when it happened. He mostly seems confused, as he still can't see Haahqae, so from his perspective a large piece of the ceiling just broke off for no apparent reason.
Miriam is still reeling from the stinking cloud.
Pen is still reeling from the stinking cloud.
Baaz 02 slashes his long sword at William against his chain mail (-2 hit) and shield (-1 hit) [TH 19] (1d20-3): 16-3 = 13, miss.
Gobax saves vs. poison (1d20): 11, pass. He throws a fire trapped flask with excellent aim (+2 hit) at Baaz 07 [TH 14] (1d20+2): 20+2 = 22, critical hit! for (4d6): 5,4,5,1 = 15 fire damage. Baaz 07 resists magic [MR 20%] (1d100): 82, fail. Baaz 07 saves vs. spell (1d20): 4, fail. The fire trap goes off and deals (1d4+5): 4+5 = 9 damage. Baaz 07 petrifies. Gobax moves 5 feet to the east, stepping out of the cloud.
----Baaz 08 takes (1d3): 3 splash damage. Baaz 08 resists magic [MR 20%] (1d100): 34, fail. Baaz 08 saves vs. spell (1d20): 5, fail. Baaz 08 takes 9 fire damage. Baaz 08 petrifies.
----Baaz 06 takes (1d3): 1 splash damage. Baaz 06 resists magic [MR 20%] (1d100): 41, fail. Baaz 06 saves vs. spell (1d20): 17, pass; he takes half damage. Baaz 06 takes 5 fire damage. Baaz 06 is near death.
Fiona is still reeling from the stinking cloud.
William saves vs. poison (1d20+1): 7+1 = 8, fail. He cannot act for (1d4+1): 1+1 = 2 rounds. He moves 15 feet to the west, out of the cloud.
Baaz 05 protects the prefect.
Tulbas saves vs. poison (1d20): 20, pass. He attempts to attack Baaz 05 with his spectral hand (+2 hit) [TH 15] (1d20+2): 19+2 = 21, hit with vampiric touch for (2d6): 6,4 = 10 HP. Tulbas is fully healed and gains 3 temporary HP. Baaz 05 is petrified. Tulbas moves 10 feet east, out of the cloud.
Haahqae climbs up the bed and attempts to cross the ceiling. However, the ceiling was not designed to hold that much weight, and after 5 feet he crashes back down to the ground, taking (1d6): 1 fall damage. The fall is completely silent, but it happens right in front of Baaz 03 who becomes aware of it.
"Make it quick," Magnus says. "We are short on time." He steps away, and gestures for the baaz to do the same, but they remain close and keep an eye on her and the elf.
Sadron, who was dropped to his knees, looks up at her. "Will you later tell yourself this wasn't your fault? That you had no choice?" he asks her.
"No," Kendra says softly. "Once all of this is over, if it is ever over, I will eventually face all that I have done," she says. She knows she can't live in denial forever, and eventually all that she has pushed back will come crashing down on her. "But this... this is the most I can do for you now."
Well damn; who was the blasted architect who designed this place anyways? And; of course a baaz saw it; his puny brain probably thought it was a local cave cave in or something but maybe I could use that to my advantage. He is quite stupid and not likely to check all the possibilities; and it could be his end.
Haahqae will free himself of the plaster (assuming that it's over 1lb; otherwise I guess it would become invisible as part of his inventory?) and tosses it towards the bed to see if said interested baaz goes to investigate. He'll then press himself up against the north wall and glance up at the ceiling to see what his hole uncovered up there; letting the baaz go past him without touching him; as he remains invisible and silent; then rewards the curious baaz with a rapier in the back.

Believe in the Magic of Miracles. A true story.
Mattie Pearl Fisher, always told me to believe in the magic. The magic meant miracles. These miracles of life can be big, small and everything in between.

NOTE: I am not implying that doing mime can cure PD.
I do think this is a good example of how movement - such as a workout, biking, hiking, boxing, yoga, Tai Chi, and yes, mime - can postively affect an at rest tremor.
That's amazing! Does it mean you body can be occuppied by intentional movements then the tremors stop? Keep on moving!
Very interesting. I'm curious if you could eliminate or reduce tremors through only a cognitive experience? Have you ever experimented with mentally imagining your mime routine, but not actually doing it physically? Would it produce similar results?
Kathy has a friend with PD who reports when he does something physical it temporarily stops his tremors.
Thanks for sharing your experience, it may help someone else.
George, thanks for your thoughts. I don't know if visualizing, as you say mental imaging, imagining doing mime, would have the same results - very interesting question. That will be my next exploration in mimefulness! Let you knwo what I find out.
Hi Patsy. Thanks for your input. What this means for me is that since my tremor is an "at rest" tremor, engaging that limb will "override" (my term) the tremor. Every PD person's PD is different, and there are many other types of symptoms not readily visible - anxiety,sleep, intiation response... I do know that after a work out, or bike ride, or hiking I can feel more calm - inside and out. And, yes! I will keep moving!
So interesting and so fun to see the miming!
Jane, thanks for chiming in. Yeah, I still got it - the ability to do mime. And yeah, I still got PD too. Ha!
WOW! VERY impressive! What does this mean?
Thanks for your commment Sid. What this means is that since I have an "at rest" tremor, purposeful engagement of that limb can "override" (my term, not a medical one), the shakiness. PD is different for each PD person. I know that working out, biking, hiking is beneficial! And for me it is calming both physically and emotionally!
I saw the video when it was up. I had forgotten how talented you are.
Thanks, Polly. Maybe it's time to crank-up the old mime show!?!
How cool that that gift you groomed years ago would be so beneficial now!
I have experimented with these kind of ideas myself, but this takes it to a whole new level! I believe it will work to relieve dyskinesia too [the uncontrolled flailing motions which are a long term side effect of the PD drugs which many of us suffer from in due course]. I have shared this post amongst large PD audiences on Facebook and recommended viewing! Great work!
Need an outdoor writer? Looking for a funny and informative speaker for your club or group? Are you hiking with special needs children? Want to discuss with a gear or trip consultant?

Gent is loyal, good with people, children. I raised him as a pup with the intentions of using him as a dual purpose K-9 but aggression was not his strong point. . He is a large dog 90 plus pounds. Both parents were imported from Germany. He was the pick of the litter.
Gent is obedient , and loyal . He has excellent play drive and is home broken. No bad habits. He will only be sold to the right home.

Think BMW is not serious about plug-in cars? The German company is spending more money showing off the 2014 i3 and debuting the 2015 i8 at the 2013 IAA (think Frankfurt Auto Show), that many companies spend on the EV advertising budget in a year.
As well displaying their traditional BMW-wares in a big way - the company says over 60 vehicles will be in attendance, the company has reserved 8,750 square meters in total to put the i3 and i8 on display.
And by display we mean on a indoor "infinity" track, where consumers can catch BMW's i brand it action from September 12th to the 22nd (public days start on Saturday, Sept. 14th).
Although InsideEVs will be at the show, BMW has released some technical floor plan drawings of their huge booth ahead of the show for us to have a look at, as well as the adjacent lounge for consumers to peruse their offerings.
Beside a chance for Europeans to catch the i3 in person for the first time, it will also be the entire world's first opportunity to see the high performance i8 plug-in supercar without its now all-to-familiar blue and white camouflage.
The BMW stand is characterised by the new track in the form of an infinity symbol symbolising the sustainable mobility concept of BMW. Visitors walk along the long straight stretch of the track, on a platform six metres above the ground, and experience the new world premiere up close – with particular focus on the new electric vehicles from BMW I.
Infinite driving pleasure is consistently noticeable at the BMW stand at the IAA. The BMW i3 is presented in permanent action on the 280-metre long track in the shape of an infinity sign that splits the BMW stand into three levels. Electromobility topics are demonstrated live during pit stops on the stages.
The booth's tribune can reportedly hold upwards of 400 people at a time to watch the i3 in action, as well as to see round the clock informative show formats. BMW says the booth will be staffed with "Product Geniuses" that will have a good working knowledge of the BMW i3 "and all its configuration and equipment options...All questions about electromobility will be answered competently in direct dialogue."
"If you’d like to end your visit to the 65th IAA with a spectacular view from the wide panorama windows of the BMW stand, you’re cordially invited to join us in our exclusive BMW Group Lounge. A magnificent catering selection is on offer for owners of the Experience Package II. Enjoy the culinary delights while you reminisce about all that you’ve seen and heard. Make your time at the IAA 2013 an unforgettable experience. There’s a fascinating view of the BMW stand to look forward to."
The 2014 BMW i3 is coming the US in the second quarter of 2013, and is offered starting from $41,350 for the all-electric version (90ish miles EPA range), and with a range extender from $45,200 (which adds up to 87 miles more).
2015 i8 production has reportedly been moved forward a bit and is expected before the fall of 2014...the i8 has an expected priced of just under a zillion dollars ... alright not quite a zillion - estimates have the car going between $125,000 to $150,000 in the US; but if you have to ask, you probably won't be getting one.

With Planet of the Apes came the discovery of a distant planet where apes dominated humankind. Some apes ruled with brutish military force, consumed by thoughts of conquest and power. General Ursus is one such ape.
King of the Apes. Leader of an army. Hail Caesar.
Human-hating. Comrade-killing. Koba is as rotten on the outside as he is on the inside.
An Orangutan of few words, Maurice learns Apes alone are weak. But Apes together are strong.

1. News releases on your website.
2. News releases for distribution via a wire service.
4. Special reports and white papers.
6. A social media presence.
Since 2001, communications agency Edelman has commissioned its annual Trust Barometer study. The global study tracks opinions of an “informed public,” identified as college-educated adults who report significant media consumption and engagement with news.
The bottom line of the recently released 2018 study is sadly predictable. The public’s trust in the veracity of the four entities studied – news media, government, NGOs and business – is at an 18-year low. Trust in news media is at rock bottom. The era of “fake news” has eroded our confidence in even knowing how to tell good journalism from rumor or falsehoods.
However, out of the bad news comes some good news for business. While taking a trust plunge with the other groups, business is still the most trusted of the four entities studied. That’s hopeful. And it confirms that businesses must have strategic plans for publishing their own content, thereby exerting more control over their public narratives and credibility. It’s an urgent matter of reputation management.
Below are examples of content that is ownable, sharable and appropriate for public consumption, plus some useful tools.
Write like a journalist and stick to AP style while keeping your keyword strategy in mind. New content will be scanned by Google and could positively affect your search results.
Post on a schedule so there is something new published at least every other week. Share and amplify on social media platforms.
2. News releases for distribution via a wire service (and to pitch to media).
Company news like quarterly and annual results require this investment; other news is also worthy. Distribution services like PRNewswire, BusinessWire and others provide broad distribution to media sites contracted with the service. Reporting immediately identifies those sites that have published and posted your release.
Share and amplify on social media platforms; pitch legitimate “new news” to reporters and editors in your category.
CBD and our clients use blogs in a variety of ways – to demonstrate thought leadership, provide a forum for SMEs and executives or distribute industry news of value to prospects and customers.
Attach a blog to your website. Share posts on social media platforms. Solicit guest blogs for back links and additional amplification.
A great white paper is a gift that keeps on giving. Offer content of value that goes beyond promoting your products and services. A solid, research-based white paper can get its own news release, be part of a pitch to key reporters, be promoted as foundational content for articles and webinars, and be the hook to get prospects to offer their information on a web form.
These are especially valuable as content for websites, social media platforms and as vlogs. Motion-graphic videos are great ways to tell compelling stories with still images if video is not available. When you do have video, it’s easy to edit into bite-size content for social media postings.
Infographics still get great engagement when they illuminate facts in a new and creative way.
Virtually all businesses benefit from a strategic social media presence, most notably on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Follow the best practice 80/20 rule and make your platforms valued resources for sharing information that is useful, educates and entertains your audience – not just content about your company’s products and services.
In this age of disinformation, misinformation and a general distrust of news sources and motives, it’s critical for businesses to tell their own stories and own the process to publish and distribute them. It only makes sense.

One of the most important features of a radio is its ability to receive low level signals, in other words, its sensitivity. We have lot of different definitions for receiver sensitivity. Some excellent descriptions can be found on radio-electronics.com. For linear modulation formats, like AM, SSB, and CW, the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) or one of its variants, e.g., the signal plus noise to noise ratio ( =(S+N)/N ), are most commonly used.
In the first case, we can measure the signal level and the noise level separately. This may be done with a spectrum analyzer employing a simple sine wave test signal. In the second case, we resort to measuring the signal and the noise together, because can’t separate the noise from the signal. For this we utilize a wide band power meter or a Root Mean Square (RMS) voltmeter.
If the difference between the signal and the noise level is greater than 10 dB, the above defined two ratios are practically equal. When we look at the specs of different receivers, sometimes it is hard to immediately compare the performance of different models, because they are specified differently. For example, the SNR may be defined with different bandwidths in mind. More specifically, 10 dB or 12 dB SNR values represent vastly different receiver sensitivity based on whether it is defined for 500 Hz, 2.1 kHz, or 2.4 kHz bandwidths.
The test setup is very simple. We need to use a calibrated test generator to feed -80 dBm and lower signal levels into the input of the receiver, while we measure the audio output level with an RMS voltmeter.
Switch on and tune the receiver to the test frequency (F) with a given bandwidth (BW). First, we disconnect the signal source and measure the output noise level. Secondly, we connect the RF signal source, and increase the signal starting from a very low level, until we have an audio output voltage with a given level. The signal level on the generator (P) shows the receiver sensitivity for a given bandwidth and the SNR level. Instead of traditional voltage meter, like the venerable HP-400, you can use a sound card-based scope and audio analyzer. Usually, it has built in SNR measurement capability. For my last measurement, I used the Multi Instrument software by Virtual Instrument Technology.
We already have digitized samples in the SDR radio, so, it is possible to skip the DAC/ADC sound card conversion, and with the Virtual Audio driver we can send the samples directly from the SDR radio software to the measurement software. I’ve used this audio driver to connect the SDR receiver to the DRM decoder in one of my last post.
I’ve tested the DRU-244A at F = 10.1 MHz, BW = 2.1 kHz, and S+N/N = 10 dB with and without a pre-amplifier. During my tests, I’ve used a ZX60-P103 amplifier from MiniCircuits with fixed 23 dB gain and less than 3 dB noise figure. It is specified from 50 MHz, however, it can be used down to 2 MHz.
The following pictures show the different steps of the SDR receiver sensitivity measurement for SSB, CW, AM, and FM signals.
AM and FM with signal display on the SDR receiver, noise and signal out, and the generator.
The sensitivity can be improved with some external low noise preamplification and additional external gain to reach -122 dBm sensitivity in SSB operation mode.

In Florida, lawns are often over-seeded with annual ryegrass in the fall. Florida lawns planted with warm season grass are lush and green during the warm spring and summer months. But as the temperatures dip, many warm season grasses go dormant and turn brown and unsightly. Ryegrass is a cool season grass. When planted on an existing warm season lawn, it will provide color during the cooler fall and winter months. Then it will die back in the spring when warm season lawn grass comes to life again.
Rake your lawn to remove any loose debris on its surface.
Mow the lawn as low as your lawnmower's blades will grow. Catch all of the clippings in your lawn mower's attached bag or rake them up after you have finished mowing. Do not mow St. Augustine grass lower than 3 inches.
Spread 10 lbs of annual ryegrass per 1000 square feet of lawn. Scatter half of the seed over the ground by hand while walking over the lawn in rows in one direction. Then spread the second half of the seed while walking in rows at a 90 degree angle to the first rows. For best coverage, use a mechanical seeder. Sow half the seed as you walk in one direction, and the other half by walking at right angles to the first.
Sweep the grass with a stiff broom to help the seed penetrate through the grass and come into contact with the soil.
Water the freshly-seeded lawn with 1 to 2 inches of water. Use the gentle spray from a hose or sprinkler system so that you do not disturb the seed as it germinates. Keep the top few inches of the soil moist by watering once or twice daily until the seeds have germinated in 7 to 10 days. Then continue to water daily (using the same amount) for the next 3 weeks until the seedlings establish themselves. Then reduce watering to an as-needed basis when the grass begins to show signs of wilting.
Repeat steps one through five annually in the fall.
Wait until the daytime temperature average is 70 to 75 degrees F to overseed. In north Florida, this is usually between October and November. In central Florida, seeding time extends into December. In south Florida, temperatures rarely get low enough to warrant overseeding with ryegrass.
Mow ryegrass at a height that is 1 to 2 inches above your previous lawn grass.
According to the University of Florida, a mechanical seeder will give you the best over-seeding results.
If your lawn has more than 1 inch of thatch, dethatch it with a power vertical mower or power vertical rake (available for rent at many garden centers) and then rake up the debris before seeding. Or, skip dethatching for now and increase your seeding rate to 13 lbs. per 1,000 square feet.

Hopefully some good news for class fixes.
Sounds good though. I defiantly think this is a step in the right direction, now if only we had more minigames like Runescape does. I would love for stuff like Staking in duels or Treasure Trails to be a thing.
Heavenily jade cloud serpent!!! Yes!!!!
I'm so happy I saved my currency instead of buying the ugly BC mount as the timewalking second mount.
Blizzard hates BM. I'm done with this damn game.
BTW for people now complaining their class hasn't be improved yet, this is the first PTR build for 7.1.5., not the final one... relax.
I would like them to do something to improve Lava Lash for Enhancement. This is a bit annoying that what is supposed to be an "iconic ability" is largely ignored because the only talent to really work with Lava Lash is not taken because it is in the same row as something that is seen as mandatory because of a passive buff attached to the talent. They need to add the passive buff to Rockbiter as well to give actual choice in the first row.
Thats my BMs title... I don't have a problem with the changes listed here though.
Not too happy with the further separation between the mage specs lore wise. Arcane and Fire mages lose Ice Barrier, why are we called mages still? Why not...elementals or something. Is Ice Block going to be Fire block next? Blink going to be...flash...fire? Mages in warcraft are experts in frost fire and arcane, and then we choose one to focus on. I dunno, it's a small thing but it just bugs me.
Well people clearly cant handle reading unfinished PTR notes and are freaking out left right and center.
I'm assuming that means, we have to equip that talent to get the bonus effect, not we're given a second talent free for having that helm equipped?
Whoa, AotC for Xavius removed with Nighthold? That's unexpected.
I was initially disheartened to not see an over glorified orange for Shaman until noticing "Uncertain Reminder" which seems to be overpowered as hell, granted that it can make it to the live like this.
Are you serious? It's the FIRST PTR BUILD for 7.1.5. Do you honestly think those are all the class changes...?

Veteran tight end Tony Scheffler was released today (Tuesday) after he was cleared to return from his concussion suffered in Green Bay on Oct. 6, according to the team web site.
The Lions signed offensive tackle Barry Richardson.
Scheffler, 30, had not practiced or played since the concussion which was his third in four years.
In five games this season, Scheffler had seven catches for 82 yards.
This was Scheffler’s fourth season with the Lions following a trade with the Broncos in 2010. He grew up in the area and attended Western Michigan University. He was in the final year of his contract.
Richardson had been cut by the Tennessee Titans on Aug. 26.
He started every game at right tackle the past three seasons for the St. Louis Rams (2012) and the Kansas City Chiefs (2010-2011).
Right tackle Corey Hilliard couldn’t finish Sunday’s game due to a knee injury. He was replacing Jason Fox who injured his knee on Oct. 6 and hasn’t played or practiced since. Left tackle Riley Reiff was injured Sunday, but was able to go in and finish the game once Hilliard was hurt.
The Lions play the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Ford Field. Both teams are 4-3.

Flying Blind, LLC is pleased to be offering formal training to agencies, organizations, and end users on all of the industry’s adaptive hardware and software, speech and Braille solutions, as well as most low-vision products. In addition, Flying Blind, LLC is offering training on many of today’s mainstream, Microsoft-based applications.
Flying Blind, LLC’s founder, Larry Lewis, has an extensive background in education and is a strong proponent of formalizing teaching methodologies that offer an enjoyable and productive training experience for each student. In this vein, Mr. Lewis has assembled a team of trainers that mirror his commitment to offering exemplary training in a most caring and responsive manner.
Flying Blind, LLC offers these fee-for-service trainings either on-site, via telephone, or via one’s preferred audio chat client. For more information on these services, or to purchase training, please send an e-mail to: training@flying-blind.com.
This final FB-Note is of a personal nature. Rarely do we stray from the topic of adaptive technology here, which is Flying Blind, LLC’s core competency, but over the last couple of months, on a number of service-related listservs, Mr. Lewis has repeatedly come across the recurring discussion regarding persons who are blind, and physical fitness. Especially among school-aged students, physical education and physical fitness is often an afterthought for the blind participant, and many questions from service providers have been raised regarding incorporating physical activity and wellness into the lives of their vision impaired clientele.
Mr. Lewis has been involved in a wide variety of physical activities over the years, but none have excited and inspired him more than his journey to learn the martial art of Gracie-Style Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a journey that began for him just a few years ago. This Martial Art is optimal for persons who are vision impaired because by its very nature participants are in such close proximity to one another. You can read more about Gracie Jiu Jitsu by visiting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracie_Jiu_Jitsu#Origin.
The discussions on these listservs, coupled with some other motivators, have inspired Mr. Lewis to begin blogging about his journey. In this blog, Mr. Lewis will be documenting his perspective as a blind participant in Royler Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while sharing with you many of his experiences training at different academies around the country. He’ll also offer his perspective, as well as his very own struggles, questions, and achievements, necessary to further improve his skill set.
We invite you to share in Mr. Lewis's journey at http://gracie-blindjits.blogspot.com/ as it is updated with new posts and commentary. Or, feel free to simply share this link with an interested client, friend, or family member.
We thank you for reading this edition of the Flying Blind, LLC Newsletter. For questions, comments, or suggestions, please e-mail us at enews@flying-blind.com.

The Fenceline loop begins further south from the main Otaki Forks carpark. Follow the road on for about 1.5 km beyond the Caretakers house. There is a newly rennovated Fenceline carpark with toilet and large information sign. Tracks also lead off from here to Waiotauru walk and Pukeatua Track (to South Mangaone Road).
The track climbs gently up from about 150 metres and flattens off to around 280 - 300 metres in bush along the side of the hill. The bush is light in places so there are good views down to the river and across to the Tararua range. There are numerous stream crossings. On the southern side the Pukeatua Track is signposted (7 hours to South Mangaone Road).
This track is slightly harder and longer than the Arcus Loop walk, but is suitable for most ages and should take no more than 1.5 hours.
The fenceline carpark is about 1.5 km south of the caretakers house and main picnic area, near the school campground at the southern end of Otaki Forks.

A disproportionate share of U.S. healthcare spending is focused on a relatively small number of people, many with multiple chronic diseases. This is especially true for Medicaid, the health insurance program for people with low income. Just 5 percent of Medicaid beneficiaries account for more than half of all Medicaid spending, and 1 percent account for 25 percent of total spending, according to an analysis of national Medicaid spending.
So, if you want to improve health outcomes for Medicaid recipients and hold the line on state Medicaid spending, it makes sense to improve care for high-cost, high-needs patients, many of whom live in New Jersey’s poor, urban communities.
Last week, the state of New Jersey took a major step toward that goal by certifying community-based healthcare coalitions in Newark, Camden, and Trenton, to coordinate healthcare and social services for Medicaid recipients as part of the Medicaid Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Demonstration Project.
New Jersey’s approach to Medicaid ACOs is ground up and community driven. The Medicaid ACOs are nonprofit coalitions of community-based medical, behavioral health, and dental providers, social service organizations, and residents formed to address holistically the complex health and social-service needs of Medicaid patients.
If the new Medicaid ACOs can improve outcomes and reduce costs to New Jersey’s Medicaid program, they will get to keep a share of any Medicaid savings. This provides a financial path to keep the Medicaid ACOs operating, innovating and improving care. These ACOs hold great promise for transforming how healthcare is delivered to the state’s poor and underserved patients, while also ensuring that taxpayers’ money is spent effectively.
The long-awaited Medicaid ACOs are the result of a 2011 law signed by Gov. Chris Christie that drew on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Jeffrey Brenner and the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers.
As famously documented in The New Yorker, Brenner analyzed hospital records and discovered that the same patients visited Camden hospitals dozens of times, even hundreds of times, at enormous cost. Brenner and the Camden coalition worked to limit their costly hospital visits by linking these patients with community-based primary care and coordinated social and economic support.
Many organizations across New Jersey have worked to facilitate the development of Medicaid ACOs. The Nicholson Foundation itself has invested more than $10 million over the past several years to foster the development of Medicaid ACOs by funding a range of interrelated projects, including those with the Rutgers State Health Policy Center, the Center for Health Care Strategies, the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute, the Camden Coalition of Providers and the Trenton Health Team.
Our support will continue. We will provide financial assistance, education, and technical expertise to both the Medicaid ACOs and to the community-based health care coalitions that did not receive the Medicaid ACO certification today but who are committed to working to improve healthcare in their communities. We will also co-fund with the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality an evaluation of the New Jersey Medicaid ACOs Demonstration Project to be conducted by the Rutgers State Health Policy Center.
It is called a “demonstration project” for a reason. There are bound to be bumps on the road ahead. But what we do know is that the road we are on isn’t taking us where we want to go -- to more accessible, affordable and higher-quality healthcare for some of New Jersey’s most vulnerable residents.
During the depths of the depression, Franklin Roosevelt said, “The country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it. But above all else, try something.” That time has come for New Jersey. We should rally behind these communities to help them succeed, learn from them, and then spread what works. The need is urgent.
Joan Randell is chief operating officer of The Nicholson Foundation, based in Newark.

Keith ran his Caboose Coruscation seminar on March 24th. So what is Caboose Coruscation you may ask? Coruscation means to make something sparkle and thats exactly what we did. By adding lights to a standard caboose we stepped up its appearance on a layout. Keith went through a step wise “how to” on adding an internal scene and accompanying light, adding homemade marker lights, making a bridge rectifier and capacitor board to avoid the dreaded light flickering on a dirty track and finally adding power pick ups to the wheels. The seminar was very well received and members went away galvinized for action on their own cabooses.

RNA editing generates post-transcriptional sequence changes that can be deduced from RNA-seq data, but detection typically requires matched genomic sequence or multiple related expression data sets.
Detects RNA editing by learning and summarizing essential features from the surrounding primitive sequence of candidate single nucleotide variants (SNVs). DeepRed is a program that can serve for discovering the developmental pattern of RNA editing changes during human early embryogenesis. It also can be used for exploring the evolutionary pattern of RNA editing in the primate lineage and Drosophila species.
Assists users to predict adenosine-to-inosine editing from a single RNA-Seq data set. GIREMI can separate the RNA editing sites from genomic variations (such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)) based on single RNA-Seq datasets. This program processes by determining the RNA-editing sites from a list of credible single nucleotide variants (SNVs) with known SNPs and the corresponding bam file.
AnalyzeS RNA editing events from RNA sequencing data. RNAEditor maps the reads to the genome, calculates sequence variations, filters for “non-editing sites” and applies a cluster algorithm to detect highly edited sites (“editing islands”), which indicates potential ADAR binding sites, gives higher confidence that the contained editing sites are ‘true’ editing sites and higher likelihood of biological importance. RNAEditor is valuable to detect RNA editing events from RNA-seq data without for additional experimental techniques.
A web application for assessing RNA editing in human at known or user-specified sites supported by transcript data obtained by RNA-Seq experiments. The most relevant step of the ExpEdit workflow is the accurate read-to-genome mapping, because erroneous alignments can seriously affect editing detection and quantification.
Detects and annotates RNA-editing sites using matching RNA-seq and DNA-seq data. RES-Scanner can recognize potential false positives resulting from genetic variants. It is based on sophisticated statistical models to infer the reliability of homozygous genotypes called from DNA-seq data. This tool provides statistical tests to distinguish genuine RNA-editing sites from sequencing errors. It is able to remove false positives resulting from mapping errors.
Predicts single-nucleotide variant (SNV) positions from head-to-head comparisons of read stacks/pileups from Illumina sequencing. JACUSA is a versatile one-stop solution to detect SNV positions from comparing RNA-DNA and/or RNA-RNA sequencing samples. The performance of JACUSA has been carefully evaluated and compared to other variant callers in an in silico benchmark. JACUSA outperforms other algorithms in terms of the F measure, which combines precision and recall, in all benchmark scenarios. This performance margin is highest for the RNA-RNA comparison scenario.

Guest Bio: Rebecca holds a Master of Nutrition and Dietetics and Bachelor of Science (Physiology) from the University of Sydney and has experience working as an Accredited Practising Dietitian across various nutrition practice areas including research, public health and industry.
Segment overview: In today’s Health Supplier Segment, we are joined by Rebecca Williams, Accredited Practising Dietitian and Nutrition Manager of the Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council here to discuss the top reasons why we should reconsider our daily diet and include legumes for its numerous health benefits. Rebecca shares her thoughts on the recent research that shows 65% of Australians aren’t eating the recommended amount of legumes needed for good health. Among the reasons why should eat legumes regularly are because they are packed with plant based protein, they contain vitamins and minerals, a great source of fibre, help us with weight management, and delicious as well.
Patrick Reyes: Hello and welcome to Health Professional Radio, my name is Patrick Reyes and on today’s show we have Rebecca Williams. She is the Nutrition Manager at the Grains and Legumes Nutrition Council and she holds a masters in nutrition and dietetics and the Bachelor of Science in physiology from the University of Sydney. Welcome to the show Rebecca.
Rebecca Williams: Thank you very much for having me.
P: Well you’re very welcome. Now I did give you a little short introduction but can you give us a little bit more about yourself?
R: Sure, so I’m as you said I’m the Nutrition Manager at Grains and Legumes Nutrition Council and I’m a dietician and I’m really passionate about the role that nutrition can play in the prevention and management of chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer…chronic diseases, they have a huge impact on our society and they’re responsible for the death of 38 million people each year. As for nutrition my work also looks at things such as obesity which is a huge issue and we know that around… 2050 half a billion people worldwide are likely to obese and I really think that if there was ever a time for positive change that time is now and many people are unaware of the extent which what you eat influences your health and wellbeing both in the short and long term. So at GLNC my role involves looking at the evidence based research and we’re on about promoting the nutrition and health benefits of grains and legumes as part of a balanced diet. Many people don’t realize that grains particularly whole grains and legumes contribute a unique set of nutrients that promotes health and protect against chronic diseases, they can also assist with weight management. And so for this reason we advocate that Australians need to take a few or at least half of their grain foods from whole grain sources such as brown rice and whole grain bread and this is also being enjoying legumes such as beans, lentils, chickpeas at least 2 – 3 times a week.
P: Alright, so legumes which is the topic for today. What are they in specific and how are they different from say pulses?
R: So legumes are the overarching family that pulses sit under. So they are a family of plants whose fruit or seed is enclosed in a pod. And pulses sit under this umbrella of legumes and they are… solely for the use of their dry seeds and so pulses or legumes include things like chickpeas, lentils, red kidney beans and they can be found in a variety of different colors, sizes and different food formats such as in the supermarket you might see chickpeas flour, there’s humus which is also chickpeas and you can also buy them on dried form.
P: So in a recent research I believe it was only 65% of Australians aren’t getting the recommended amount of legumes. So what are some reasons why people should start adding legumes to their diet?
R: That’s a really great question and it’s a big problem because legume consumption in Australia is very low and a recent study by GLNC showed that, you’re right, 65% of Australians aren’t eating the recommended amount of legumes for good health and there are so many reasons that we should be eating them. So to start with, legumes are packed with nutrients that are important for good health, so they contain things like iron which helps to fight fatigue, folate for good immune function, magnesium for strong bones and teeth, they’re also a great source of dietary fiber which is really vital for our digestive health and by simply enjoying legumes more often Australians could increase their intake of these essential nutrients which may in turn have a favorable effect on health and reduce our risk of chronic disease and that’s the other really key reason we should be enjoying them more often. So speaking specifically about chronic diseases, we know heart disease is the single leading cause of death in Australia and while this is the cause… of complex problems and there is no single solution, there is a growing body of evidence that pulses my help to reduce the risk of heart disease, so…analysis have shown that having around 100 – 200 grams of pulses per day can lower key risk factors such as heart disease, such as LDL cholesterol and blood pressure. Another really widespread chronic disease in Australia is diabetes and we know that 70% of type 2 diabetes cases may actually better be prevented or delayed by adapting a healthy lifestyle and scientific reviews show that people who eat legumes as part of a low GI diet or a high fiber diet actually have improved in markers that have blood glucose control. So really all Australians would benefit from incorporating legumes into their diets more often, there’s just so many reasons that Australians to start eating legumes.
P: And for our listeners that would like to start adding legumes to their diet, can you share with us a simple recipe using legumes?
R: Yeah, absolutely. So first of all I think it’s important that we recommend that you should be eating legumes 2 – 3 times per week at least and that long term health research shows that the more, the better. And so if you can incorporate legumes like 4 or more times per week that will even have a greater effect on health in just having it once and there’s so many easy ways to incorporate them into your diet. So an easy way maybe in your salad, so it’s a great way to boost the plant protein and the fiber content, so shredded …, 200 grams of cooked black lentils, a hundred and fifty grams of cooked chickpeas and 50 grams of… can be combined together and then mixing in an extra 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and half the juice of a lemon to create the dressing for the salad as well. They also make really great snack food so giving another example of a recipe just by…chickpeas with Cajun spices and olive oil and placing in the oven for 10 minutes provides a great snack that you can have during the day is another way to enjoy legumes.
P: Now when preparing legumes, are there any tips that you can give us or to the listeners?
R: So when preparing legumes particularly fried varieties it’s important to rinse them and soak them and the same goes to canned variety as well and this helps to reduce some of the flatulence associated compounds that may be in legumes. But with canned legumes it’s super easy, you rinse them and they’re pretty much ready to go straight away. By rinsing them the other great thing that it does in canned legumes is it just… so it’s an important step in preparing legumes.
P: Alright and for all our listeners, go ahead and give us a little short message.
R: So I think the take home message is that legumes are packed with essential nutrients that offer a multitude of health benefits and we know that Australians really don’t come close enough to eating the recommended amount. So all Australians should be aiming to enjoy a minimum of half a cup of legumes like 2 – 3 times per week as part of a balanced diet so take advantage of these nutrition and health benefits.
P: Alright and how can people find out more information or find recipes about legumes?
R: Absolutely. So on our website, so the Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council we have a whole range of recipes, is it also the International Year of the Pulses and the official IYP or international Year of Pulses website contains a range of recipes from around the world which your listeners can use to try pulses or legumes from different cultures and try different cooking techniques.
P: Now for our last question, what is the biggest misconception you’ve heard about legumes from many people?
R: So I think the common misconception with legumes is that they are the…gas, so research actually indicates that less people experience gas after eating legumes than you may think and in those who do experience gas this actually refers to normal within a few weeks of eating legumes regularly. And in fact gas isn’t always a bad thing, it is a sign that you’re feeding the good bugs in your bowel which ferments particular types of fibers and the research shows that this has a beneficial effect on health. However they said… or rinsing legumes prior to eating them can help to reduce the level of flatulence producing compound as well.
P: Awesome. Alright well it’s been a pleasure talking to you Rebecca.
P: Thank you. Now you’ve been listening to Health Professional Radio, again I’m your host Patrick Reyes and we’ve been in studio with Rebecca Williams, the Nutrition Manager at the Grains and Legumes Nutrition Council. As we talked about a few reasons why you should be eating legumes more often.

In this multi-part MONEYPIT story, we follow the tale of EMI M400 #103S.
Jamie Robertson (new to MONEYPIT) and I wandered over to see what we could do with EMI M400 #103S that Paul Santo currently owns.
Some of the problems included old motor control board, sub-standard power supply and the mechanics out of square. I had never really considered the latter but it really is very important that the internal frame is square. Mine wasn't so the keyboard was hard work to remove when changing tape frames plus as the tapes were not perpendicular to the heads the treble response of the machine was poor. The mis-alignment also meant that the tapes dragged on the guides so the pinch wheels had been adjusted to increase the pressure on the capstan (they were at the bottom of their adjustment) and still some tapes would drag. In some cases this was so bad they would squeak while playing.
Jamie and I arrived to check out the EMI unit, and owner Paul got caught up on a number of other things (his schedule is usually packed, so having a Saturday free was quite unusual) while there was the usual Mellotron adjustment cacaphony going on, but he spent time with us to go over the machine as well.
It's hard to believe the number of items that Norm nailed on his web page as applying to E4/103S as well---unfortunately.
The motor controller was previously replaced with an SMS-5, so that work was done. The power supply seemed to be a stock M400 supply, but I didn't do anything with it.
The keyboard was hard to remove, as if held on by a magnet. That was bizarre.
It appears that the take-up box is out of square with the tapes (see picture to left).
The pinch rollers for the top notes were cranked down to the bottom of their adjustment and still didn't play right. The bottom notes were better.
I would try my best, folks, but only could get the machine so far---better than before, but not where it should be and can be. It likely needs a Leeting.
It's painted white. The original finish can be seen under the old serial number plate, which probably fell off somewhere. Shame, as I like the original finish on those cabinets. Paul informed me, though, that many EMI units did leave the factory white, so this could be a factory paint job.
It appears that they had to chisel out some room for the front of the keyboard (probably done at the factory to make room for the keyboard).
Cheek blocks are metal, not thick wood blocks as in the M400.
Unfortunately the front and top pieces of this unit's lid have separated.
The tapes are from Mellotron Archives (cello, 3-violin, flute).
Missing one of the keyboard thumbscrews.
The tape frame has a tape fastening screw snapped off.
This one had me stumped. The pitch control is geared so that one turn of the knob is about 1/10 turn on the pitch control itself. I don't know if this is original or a replacement that someone made. Well, no real pitch dives on this box while playing, I guess!
So what we attempted to do in the span of a few hours was to oil up and adjust the machine to get it as good as it could be in the as-is state. I had a sinking feeling it wouldn't be enough, given Norm's experience, but I had to try.
The motor and capstan eagerly sucked up the oil I provided, and they ran more smoothly afterward.
Heads and capstan were cleaned.
The rollers were inspected. All turned OK, some chips here and there, but in fairly good condition.
Adjusted. Painfully. Several hours. Mellotronists' Hunchback. Thankful for Jamie's help near the end. Some rollers blurbled on some of the tapes, so I took the shine off them and cleaned them up, and they worked much better. One key in the middle (D) was stubborn and wouldn't really adjust all that well. It plays, but it's hard to press down, as the pinch roller obviously requires a lot of pressure to operate now.
Some pinch rollers weren't parallel to the tape path, thus pushing the tape sideways. I held my breath and gently twisted them back straight with some channel lock pliers.
Some pinch roller holders weren't parallel to the key they were on. Fortunately the screws allow for a small amount of adjustment, and sometimes that millimeter or two really helps.
Something's out of square. Not much I could do in an afternoon for that.
We also got a lot of blurbling on some notes, and this seemed to be in concert with the motor vibration. The only way I could get rid of those was to crank down the pinch roller and pressure pad a bit more than they probably needed to be.
One of the pinch rollers seemed to be a Mellotron Archives replacement. It was not secured, just snapped into place, and one side of the axle was loose. I swapped it into key #35 and crimped it as best I could. I don't know the best way to get those to stay in other than that, but I'm sure there's a decent method available.
I adjusted the "glad to see ya!" keys (several key return spring nylocks were cranked too far), loosened up the holes at the front of the keys so the keys weren't hung up on the posts, and adjusted the key height to something Paul thought was OK (I didn't have a ruler there for the 3/4" throw). Jamie helped with a few, too.
...well, 'til he tried it later on, and some of the dodgy notes were back. Paul will be able to take care of these somewhat, I'm sure, but I'm still haunted by "it's an EMI...square up the frame...disassemble it, square it up...".
I let Paul know about the experience that Norm Leete had with his EMI M400 and various bits of contact information that should be helpful if he decides to have this machine squared up. I would like to see it right as rain, as it is pegged to be used on recordings coming up!
Without a rebuild, the machine would only get as good as "just good enough but you kinda know something is wrong, and it's just enough to notice." Your Humble Scribe housed this machine for about a month over the winter '03-'04 and tried everything outside of dismantling it completely, including squaring up the frame a little. But there was still something wrong, especially on wide chords---just enough to be aggravating.
With the purchase of a nice little M400, the EMI's fate was sealed. Over Memorial Day Weekend 2004 the machine was made "good enough" after having parts scavenged earlier---it was once again running and making sound. But on June 1, 2004 the EMI was put into the back of the car and brought to a local music shop as a trade in.
Paul is a songwriter/musician/producer/engineer from the Boston, MA area. He's currently working with a local band rocketscience to produce their first album, and he has been providing keyboard work for Aerosmith for quite a while now.
Paul recently toured and recorded with Ringo Starr. Paul was half the team that did the recording work for "RINGO RAMA", released in the spring of 2003. Paul had the opportunity to work with Eric Clapton and David Gilmour during the recording sessions. In addition, he co-wrote one song on the album and contributed electric guitar and bass tracks.
A platinum album graces Paul's wall. It's from Steven Tyler, with thanks for his contributions to Aerosmith's platinum-selling "Just Push Play": Hammond organ on "Avant Garden"; Kurzweil on "Fly Away From Here".
And sitting next to a James Brown doll: a Latin Grammy!
Paul has a variety of instruments from which to choose, including any number of guitars (a 50 year old Gibson acoustic is a fave--old, but sound that's rich and full with the right amount of grit), a wonderful '70 or '71 Fender Precision bass, Wurlie electric pianos, a honkin' Kurzweil, Hammonds (and Leslie), and even an Optigan.
The real center of his collection, however, is guitar amps, all vintage (one new for good measure). Marry that to an array of guitar effects, and you have just about any guitar sound you'd ever want!
taken up by M400 #1428.
Please note that Yours Truly does NOT take any money for his work on Mellotrons and has never professed to be anything other than an amateur. If I'm unable to get a machine 100%, it's not from a lack of trying or from anything less than a best effort. The owner of the machine understands this, as did Paul with the EMI. I'm just sorry that it didn't work out with this one on this go 'round.
Other folks are available to repair or restore your machine professionally. Post to the Mellotronists list if you would like your machine done over by someone who knows all the ins and outs. It is not inexpensive, but there's a lot of real talent out there on the list from repairs to the M400 to specialized repairs on the Mark II and M300.

As a nurse, i can handle different attitudes well. i have taken english subjects in college and get very high grades from 95-100%. i've also worked in an institution wherein english as the main language is practiced. in my profession, communication is very important that's why i'm confident i can handle tutorials especially in english and filipino subjects. i believe nurses are very good educators as well.
My Tutorial approach would be relaxed, fun, enjoyable and not boring. I will make sure students will learn not just to be intelligent but also smart. I will provide visual presentations which will awaken the curious minds of the youth. I will make sure it will be an interactive session so that maximum learning will be achieved. Regular tests will be conducted to assess the students absorption of the class and modifications will be made depending on the evaluation of their scores.
I have tutored and currently tutoring some high school and college students in their grammar subjects. i also teach some high school students some tips on how to do creative writing and do threir reports properly. three of my tutees belong to the top ten of their classes and some has improved on their grammar and oral speaking skills.
I am an advocate of learning my doing. What I do in my tutoring session is that I let my student answer some activities first and diagnose their strength and weaknesses, I enhance their strength and develop their weakness through various activities.

Over the past 3 years Burwood Hospital has been given a 32,500m2 upgrade which will be the first of Christchurch’s new hospital facilities to open since the 2011 earthquakes. The new facilities, which opened June 2016 include new ward blocks designed to house 230 patients, outpatient areas which will see up to 90,000 patients per year as well as radiology and pharmacy areas. The new buildings link to the current Burwood Hospital facilities and have an impressive new front of house off of Burwood road.
BVT was engaged to provide a design for the seismic restraint of all partitions and suspended ceilings throughout the hospital extension. Typically seismic braces extend above ceilings up to the roof structure. One of the unforeseen problems with this project was due to the fact this was a hospital a sea of building services such as ventilation ducts, pipework and electrics were to be suspended in the space above the ceiling restricting where bracing could be installed and in some cases preventing it altogether.
The tight construction schedule at Burwood did not account for any delays in installation so where clashes were encountered preventing the installation of our braces a design was required urgently to resolve the problem.
In the final stages of the build during the installation of the ceilings and partitions BVT worked closely with site managers from Leighs Cockram and approached problematic areas on a case by case basis to resolve bracing clashes with suspended services and provide simple and effective bracing design for additional elements such as feature ceilings and glazed partitions.
As BVT was closely involved involved with the installation process it allowed problems to be resolved efficiently and ensure the bracing installation was of a high quality giving confidence that the ceilings and partitions would withstand any earthquakes in the future. The bracing designs and installation met the requirements of the NZ Building Code therefore a Producer Statement PS4 – Construction Review was issued once construction was complete.

The key landmark here that can be viewed as you enter Alor Setar. Located next to Aman Central and over five-hundred ft above the sea level. Here you will get a 360° bird’s eye view of Alor Star and areas around it. You go up to the observation deck via a bubble lift. Up there you will have a magnificent view of the city and paddy fields. Most of the attractions in Alor Star can be seen from the Tower such as Pekan Rabu, Aman Mall, the Royal Museum, Zahir Mosque and Istana Kuning. In the distance you can see Gurung Jerai and Gunung Keriang where the Paddy Museum can be found.
The tower is open-air. It gets really breezy and there are several binoculars for you to get closer view of the sights. There are also a few information boards on the famous landmarks in Kedah, which is very informative.
If you happen to reach Alor Setar, just drop by. Ticket are RM 9 for Malaysia adults and RM5 for children.
Address. :- Menara Alor Setar.
I had been so looking for toward visiting the house of the individual I admire most. Nevertheless when we reach there it was closed for so called renovation works until next year 30th April. Will come back the coming year. Hope it is ready at that time. We only got a glimpse from the outside the house. It was really disappointing.

Shinji Kagawa just turned 30, on loan at Besiktas from Dortmund is a game changing 10. Would stroll our league. Commercially great for the club as well. Show some ambition 👍🏻.
Yes let's bid 2m for him and offer him about 20% of his current wage.
Utter rubbish! They rate him at £8 Million. Buy out clauses are NOT the normal for a standard loan deal.

An outing on snowshoes is truly a unique experience, that brings those that participate in this adventure back to the past when snowshoes were the only way for people that lived in the mountains to move about during the winter, especially when there was a heavy snowfall.
Sliding along with snowshoes on an immaculate blanket of snow, enjoying the silence of the forest, discovering the many trails left behind by animals as they move about searching for food, will allow you to experience the mountain in a different manner than how a skier feels as he rushes down a slope. Why not give it a try?
In Val di Sole numerous outings are organized by both the Alpine Guides and the guides of the Stelvio National Park and it is thanks to them that you will be able to discover the best kept secrets of nature. These types of outings do not require any particular technical preparation and the equipment is supplied by the organizer, or it can be rented in various shops throughout the valley.
In Val di Sole you can try one of the 19 routes that have been groomed and marked with directional signs and ribbons. We recommend that you pass by our information offices to discover which itineraries are located close to your accommodation facility and those that are best suited for your technical and physical abilities. Before starting off on any itinerary, we also recommend that you check the weather forecast. You can try these routes on foot, or better yet, with snowshoes.

Sour note for buskers in city as crackdown on cards.
Musicians will have to have a repertoire of at least 20 songs, and drum kits and amplifiers over 15 watts could be banned under new proposals discussed by city councillors last night.
The proposals will inform the final wording of draft byelaws to regulate busking in the city which should be published for public consultation early next year.
Drums kits will be banned.
City officials said they are not proposing to be “heavy-handed” on the regulation, but are anxious to regulate in the interests of buskers, city businesses, and the general public.
They said the proposals have emerged following extensive consultation with stakeholders, and that the current proposals are just that — proposals only, and that final wording of the draft by-laws will only emerge in the New Year.
However, they confirmed that auditions will not be required, and that it is hoped to adopt a fast and simple permit application process.
However, Sinn Féin councillor Chris O’Leary said he had concerns that some of the proposals would stymie the city’s emerging talent.
“It will put a straitjacket on people who have quite a lot of talent,” he said.
Party colleague Shane O’Shea said some of the proposals were very “subjective, far too vague and open to interpretation”.
AAA councillor Fiona Ryan said the proposal about performers not acting, dressing, saying, or doing anything “likely to cause alarm or distress” was too broad and could be applied too liberally.
Independent councillor Kieran McCarthy, who runs an annual community talent competition, said it was important not to over-regulate and that supporting creativity was vital.
“Yes, there is the occasional crow but the vast majority of these buskers are very talented. We need to help and support a lot of these young people,” he said.
Fianna Fáil councillor Tom O’Driscoll said while buskers add enormously to the atmosphere and ambience of the city, there is a need to regulate busking.
“You can’t be busking outside a hotel or a resident area at 1am,” he said.
Party colleague Terry Shannon said everyone accepts that buskers add life to the city, but the current free-for-all is not a good idea.

The land is flat and vast, extending as far as the eye can see. There is no sun, as such. Rather, an ambient glow with no obvious source permeates. Occupying this Plane is an ocean of people, gathered into groups large and small, distributed irregularly, coalescing and scattering like slow-motion static on a last-century TV.
There are minstrels, artists, trinket-collectors and writers; bards and scientists, astronauts and soldiers. Most huddle together amongst their own kind, but at the periphery a continual jostling and switching takes place. Ideas cross-pollinate and bloom in virgin minds. In the distance a huge throne-topped tower has been erected in honor of a nameless minstrel who has composed a most pleasing melody. Wisdom and culture flows, sways and swirls between and amongst these throngs of sentience.
Alas! The industrious hum of progress is interrupted by a distant rumble. It is the thundering hooves of the Mongol Horde, led by their god, Genghis Khan. A chilled awe descends over the land. Some are so terrified that they subsume themselves into the soil so as to escape what may come. We see a small group of masons huddling in fright as the Horde approaches and - lo! - passes without stopping. It appears that disaster may not visit this day; yet as the final horseman of the Horde rides by, a young mason is knocked to the ground. Before he can check himself, he indignantly rises and issues forth with “U wot m8?!”.
Several pianos stop playing. Children point and gasp. The Mona Lisa’s expression finally resolves into a commiserating frown.
The Horde halts en masse and the Mongols round their horses as one. The other masons curse and spit at the pitiful boy who has already begun to crumple with contrition. “Subsume!” whispers an onlooker. Too late. Shrieking “U WOOOOT!?” in mocking imitation, the Mongols let fly their arrows. The sky is a rushing river of death. The slaughter begins.
Starting with the boy, the Mongols make short work of the masons, and soon move on to the nearby carpenters and sundry other tradesmen. At length, no city-dweller is spared. Their ravenous progress is only halted by the arrival of the god Frederick II at the head of the army of Christendom. In the ensuing melee, everyone must choose a side. Are you with the Khan or with the Christ? WHICH IS IT? Some outwardly peaceful individuals manage to hurriedly work the Mongol creed into their worldview, while others are surprised to discover that a life of atheism has been masking a deep, abiding faith in Jesus. All, however, take up arms; only the failure to do so guarantees an undignified and public slaying. Luckily for those remaining, a wanton assortment of weapons of all kinds spews forth from the soil. The ambient glow of the Plane is temporarily dimmed by the roiling mix of dust and blood.
An indeterminate amount of time has passed. The battlefield is mostly clear. The tattered corpse of the mason boy hangs from a nearby tree as a handful of Mongol children pelt it with rocks, crying “baddy!” and “devil!” as their parents nod along in approval.
The sky has cleared, and a sense of normalcy is at last returning. But is once again shattered! A lightning bolt strikes the ground by the feet of a Persian merchant. The god Zeus has spoken! Within seconds, a phalanx of Greek hoplites is approaching, spears raised. Most of the surrounding group preemptively subsume themselves into the soil. A frenzied skewering ensues to a chorus of hoplites loudly asserting the superiority of classical Greek culture. Honour served, all that remains is a burgundy-brown sludge where once stood a humble trader of oriental tapestries.
After the hoplites have tired and withdrawn, the merchant’s remaining friends set about scraping the sludge into jars to present to the god Xerxes, who will surely right this great injustice.

The music was roaring, but our gossip was louder. On my right: Miha, grinning at me. My friend was wide awake, shining, telling me everything she's been up to since we've last met. Behind us, a mountain of girly gym gear, water bottles, trainers and two pairs of high heels that I keep in my car for spontaneous special occasions . Navy blue and bright purple mattresses made my back seats invisible.
Most of the Living Fit classes were going on outside, but we were lucky: the clouds shattered and the sun was up! It was 10 o'clock in the morning and we've never been this eager to start moving our bodies.
So I drove fast, the empty Sunday morning streets reminded me how much I love driving. We arrived quickly and what we found was the Cluj Arena covered in sweet chaos.
Rasetele si barfele noastre acopereau muzica data prea tare. In dreapta mea: Miha, zambitoare. Prietena mea animata, stralucind, imi povestea tot ce s-a mai intamplat in viata ei de la ultima noastra intalnire. In spatele nostru, un munte de echipament de sala in culori feminine, sticle de apa, adidasi si doua perechi de tocuri pastrate in masina pentru ocazii speciale, neprevazute. Saltelutele albastru marin si lila imi acopereau in intregime bancheta din spate.
Majoritatea claselor de la Living Fit se petreceau afara, dar am avut noroc: norii s-au imprastiat si soarele trona pe cer. Era abia ora 10 dimineata, iar noi nu am fost niciodata mai dornice sa ne punem in miscare.
Asa ca ne-am grabit spre Cluj Arena. Straziile goale de duminica dimineata amintindu-mi cat de mult imi place sa conduc. Cand am ajuns ne-a intampinat un dulce haos.
There was so much going on that we got lost in the rush, missing out on our very first class, 50 minutes of "wake up your body" cycling. The session was at the 3rd floor, on a balcony with a gorgeous view over our city. We came back later, hurrying up to find seats in the front row.
Working out under the sun, filling up our lungs with fresh air felt absolutely incredible. We also attended a basic nutrition workshop and visited most of the protein bar stands to taste all of the chocolaty samples..
But then we realized: our batteries were out! We've given our best at the TRX corner and the breathtaking rooftop cycling, that we had to take a break.
"Damn it" There was still so much I wanted to try out.. - We came back later, ambitious to go for another class: Capoeira. A Brazilian martial art - dance combination. We played along the first 10minutes. Miha bailed, off to have a coffee. Another 5minutes past and the Brazilian trainer started dancing through the masses of women, having so much fun on the fast rhythm of Brazilian music.
Me? I was at least 3 steps behind. I understood none of it. My legs we're shaky and all the energy drinks I've had that morning couldn't help me any longer. "Oh noo!" The trainer was coming in my direction.
I was hiding behind a tall lady and her friend. "Did he see me?" - "... uuhhh, I think so! I'm out of here!"
I ran to catch up with my friends and grab a coffee too. The trainer was getting too close and a disclosure of my faulty steps was inevitable. No need to make a fool of myself, right?
Wrong! - I still hate myself for not keeping up with the crew and giving up. There was a particular energy about the happy songs and moves of that dance sport.
The good part is, that I'm feeling super motivated now. I KNOW what I've got to do. Not only have I discovered new workout moves, but I've also seen a lot of great looking women, with incredible bodies, that keep me inspired. I feel like reinventing my bikini body altogether.
Se intamplau asa de multe lucuri simultan, incat ne-am pierdut cu totul in agitatie, ratand prima clasa: 50 de minute de cycling "wake up your body" . Am aflat apoi ca orele de cycling se tineau sus, la etajul 3, pe un balcon cu o vedere incredibila asupra orasului. Ne-am intors mai tarziu, hotarate sa prindem locuri chiar in primul rand.
E absolut genial sa faci antrenamentele sub cerul liber, cu plamanii plini de aer proaspat. Ne-am alaturat si unui workshop de nutritie si ne-am oprit la fiecare stand care oferea batoane proteice invelite in ciocolata.
N-a durat mult pana sa ne dam seama ca bateriile noastre s-au terminat. Am dat tot ce am putut la TRX si la ora de cycling, cu privelistea ei inspirationala, dar acum aveam nevoie de o pauza.
"La naiba!" Voiam sa mai incerc atatea antrenamente.. - Mai tarziu ne-am intors, ambitioase sa continuam cu urmatoarea clasa: Capoeira. O combinatie braziliana de arte martiale in ritmuri de dans. Primele 10 minute ne prefaceam si noi ca facem pasii. Miha m-a parasit imediat pentru o cafea. Au mai trecut 5 minute si l-am vazut pe antrenor distrandu-se copios pe muzica braziliana, dansand printre masele de femei din jurul meu.
Eu? Eram cu minim 3 pasi in urma. Nu intelegeam nimic. Picioarele imi tremurau si eram suparata ca toate bauturile energizante pe care le-am degustat in dimineata aceea nu se mai resimteau. "Oo nuuu!" Antrenorul venea spre mine.
Stateam ascunsa dupa o doamna mai inalta cu iubitul ei "Oare m-a vazut? - " ....hiiii, asa cred! Gata, am plecat!"
Am fugit dupa prietenii mei sa-mi iau si eu o cafea. Mai aveam putin si s-ar fi prins antrenorul ca facem totul pe langa. Nu era nevoie sa ma fac de ras, nu?
Gresit! - Inca nu m-am iertat pentru ca m-am dat batuta. Era o energie pozitiva cu totul deosebita in dansul si muzica aceea.
Partea buna este, ca acum sunt ultra motivata! STIU ce am de facut. Nu numai ca am descoperit o gramada de antrenamente noi, ci am avut ocazia sa ma inspir, vazand atatea femei incredibil de fit. Vreau sa-mi reinventez cu totul corpul pentru vara.
So I'm back to the gym more passionately ( and more sore ) than ever.
And for you.. I've got a BIG surprise!
I'll be posting THE diet on the Blog next week.
I've lost 7kg keeping it in only 2 weeks. BOOM.
We've still got time to get in shape before summer. Run, ladies, run!
Ma intorc astfel la sala mai pasionata ca niciodata, si cu o febra musculara pe masura.
Iar pentru voi.. Am o surpriza!
Voi posta saptamana viitoare o cura pe blog.
Nu e orice cura, e dieta cu care am slabit eu 7kg in doar 2 saptamani.
Inca mai avem timp sa ne intram in forma inainte sa inceapa vara: La alergat, gagici!

The Battle of the Zab (Arabic: معركة الزاب) took place on the banks of the Great Zab river in what is now Iraq on January 25, 750. It spelled the end of the Umayyad Caliphate and the rise of the Abbasids, a dynasty that would last (under various influences and with varying power) until the 13th century.
In 747 a major rebellion broke out against the Umayyad Caliphate, which ruled most of the Middle East from 661 to 750. The principal cause of the rebellion was the increasing gap between the outlying peoples of the Caliphate and the Damascus-based Umayyad government. The Umayyad-appointed governors of the Caliphate's various provinces were corrupt and interested only with personal gains. Additionally, the Umayyads claimed no direct descent from Muhammad, while the Abbasids did (they descended from Muhammad's uncle Abbas—a fact the latter used greatly during the revolution).
In 750, the army of the Umayyad caliph Marwan II fought a combined force of Abbasid, Shia, Khawarij, iraqis, soldiers at the Zab. Marwan's army was, on paper at least, far larger and more formidable than that of his opponents, as it contained many veterans of earlier Umayyad campaigns against the Byzantine Empire; its support for the caliph, however, was only lukewarm. The morale of the Umayyads had been damaged by the series of defeats inflicted earlier in the rebellion, while the morale of the Abbasid armies had increased.
The Abbasid army formed a spear wall, a tactic they had adopted from their Umayyad opponents, presumably from witnessing it in earlier battles. This entailed standing in a battle line with their lances pointed at the enemy (similar to the stakes used by English longbowmen at Agincourt and Crécy many centuries later). The Umayyad cavalry charged, possibly believing that with their experience they could break the spear wall. This was a mistake on their part, however, and they were all but butchered. The Umayyad army fell into retreat, its morale finally shattered. Many were cut down by the zealous Abbasids or were drowned in the wintertime River Zab.
Marwan himself escaped the battlefield and fled down the Levant, pursued relentlessly by the Abbasids, who met no serious resistance from the Syrians because the land had recently been laid waste by an earthquake and pestilence. Marwan fled at last to Abusir/Busir, which is a small town on the Egyptian Nile delta. It was there, a few months after the battle, that he was at last killed in a short battle and replaced as caliph by Abu al-Abbas as-Saffah, bringing to an end Umayyad rule in the Middle East.

Built in similar splendour reminds you of an era gone by. Launched as a hotel in the year 1900, the intricate stone facade, louvered balconies, elaborate window arcs and the wrought iron grills have not only preserved the pristine glory in its true form even today go with any Luxury Resort. There are large well appointed rooms with attached baths which are furnished with taste and which offer a fairy tale view of the snow capped Himalayas.

Note: Students returning for Spring 2019 should complete a 2018-19 FAFSA and CSS Profile forms and submit 2016 tax information to IDOC.
Students wishing to apply for financial aid for the 2019-20 academic year may do so regardless of whether she or he is curently receiving assistance from the college. Tax and W-2 information for 2017 should also be submitted via IDOC.
The 2019-20 application for renewal of financial aid due date is March 1, 2019.
Applications of aid recipients that remain incomplete after June 1 will incur a late fee of $50; after July 3, an additional fee of $50; after August 7, an additional $50; and as of the first day of registration for the fall semester, an additional $100. All applications for aid must be received by the end of registration for the spring semester.
Complete and submit the Amherst Application for Renewal of Financial Aid on-line. Please proceed to amherst.edu/go/faportal, and from the menu, select Apply On-Line to complete the renewal application. The same form is used by first-time applicants who will be in the upper three classes who are not currently receiving financial aid.
Complete the CSS Profile with the College Scholarship Service (CSS) of The College Board and designate Amherst College to receive information from the form. Amherst’s CSS code number is 3003. .
If your parents are separated or divorced, both of the student's biological/adoptive parent(s) will complete their own CSS Profile. Each parent will access the CSS Profile with different log-in credentials. The non-custodial parent will need to create a College Board account before providing their information. It's highly recommended that the student and custodial parent start the CSS Profile first, as the non-custodial can't submit information until the student selects a school that requires the submission of non-custodial parent information.
If you are a citizen, national, or permanent resident of the United States, its territories, or associated states (Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau), you must complete the FAFSA to be considered for federal financial aid. The FAFSA may be completed on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. After you submit the FAFSA, the federal government will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR) with information about your eligibility for federal aid. Amherst’s FAFSA code number is 002115. All federal aid eligibility is determined by the results of your FAFSA.
You and, if you are dependent, one of your parents must use an FSA ID to sign the FAFSA electronically. Each person must have a separate FSA ID. You may create a FSA ID at www.pin.ed.gov. You may also use your FSA ID to access federal financial aid records, to make revisions or corrections to the FAFSA, and to view and sign loan records if you borrow a federal student loan.
We strongly encourage you, in completing the FAFSA, to use the Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) to bring information from your income tax return directly from the Internal Revenue Service to the FAFSA.
Enter your FSA ID and click ‘Link To IRS’ from the Parent Financial Information page. You may do the same from the Student Financial Information page. You will not be asked to enter your FSA ID if you entered one to begin your FAFSA.
If you transfer your IRS tax information, you should expect an email confirming that your tax information was accessed.
Using the DRT may decrease the request for additional documentation.
The DRT cannot be used by someone who is married and filing as “head of household”; by those filing as “married, filing separately”; by parents with a marital status of “unmarried and both legal parents living together”; or a resident of Puerto Rico or the associated states.
Canadian and other international students do not complete the FAFSA.
Submit income documentation through The College Board’s Institutional Documentation (IDOC) service. After you submit the CSS/Financial Aid Profile, you will receive information from The College Board on behalf of Amherst College about submitting 2017 tax documents through the IDOC service.
Submit copies of all federal personal, corporate, and partnership tax returns, W-2 and 1099 forms, and federal verification forms associated with applying for financial aid. Please do not submit state tax returns.
A signed and dated copy of all pages of your 2017 income tax return (IRS Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ). You should also submit a copy of your 2017 Form(s) W-2 (or other wage statements), as appropriate, regardless of whether you filed or did not file an income tax return. Copies of Form(s) 1099 should also be submitted.
A signed and dated copy of all pages of your parents’ 2017 income tax return(s) (IRS Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ), if you are dependent on your parents. Include a copy of your parents’ 2017 Form(s) W-2 (or other wage statements), regardless of whether an income tax return was or was not filed. Copies of Form(s) 1099 should also be submitted.
If your parents own an interest in a business corporation, submit a copy of the 2017 corporate return (IRS Form 1120, 1120A, 1120-S, and/or Schedule K-1). If your parents have income from a partnership, submit a copy of the 2017 partnership return and/or a copy of the statement of partner’s share of income (IRS Form 1065 and/or Schedule K-1).
If you or your parents did not and will not file a 2017 income tax return, submit the appropriate Non-Tax Filer Statement, available from the Office of Financial Aid website, under “Forms & Helpful Links.” Copies of any earnings statements (such as W-2 or 1099 forms) should still be submitted to IDOC.
U.S. Department of Education rules stipulate that you cannot receive federal student financial aid unless proper tax forms have been filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Because of parity of treatment of all aid applicants, these rules also apply to institutional aid as well. For further information, see “Tax Filing Requirements and Proper Filing Status” on our website, under “Forms & Helpful Links."
Submit signed and dated copies of your and, if you are a dependent student, your parents’ 2017 federal income tax return(s), including T-4 forms directly to the Office of Financial Aid. If no return will be filed, submit the appropriate Non-Tax Filer Statement, available from the Office of Financial Aid website, under “Forms & Helpful Links.” Copies of any earnings statements (T-4 forms) should be included with the statement.
If you or your parents own an interest in a business or farm, submit copies of appropriate income tax returns for each business or farm.
International Students Residing Outside of the United States, Its Territories, or Canada.
New: International renewal applicants should upload your original 2017 documentation of income and taxes paid/withheld for you and your parents, and employer provided documentation of 2017 income and benefits to the Financial Aid Portal. Applicants from China should submit a Salary Certificate issued by the parents’ employer.
If you or, if you are dependent, your parents own an interest in a business or farm, complete and submit an “International Business/Farm Supplement” for 2019-20 for each business or farm. Also submit copies of the most recent appropriate business income tax returns, if applicable, or other documentation of business or farm income and expenses and business or farm value and indebtedness.
If appropriate, aid applicants who are residents of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont may be eligible for state scholarships or grants and are required to apply. In some instances, filing a FAFSA is all that is necessary to apply for a state scholarship or grant. Applicants should observe the specific application procedures and deadlines established by the various state agencies.
Amherst allows outside scholarships and employer benefits to replace self-help (work), rather than scholarship, in a financial aid award. Outside scholarships, grants, or employer benefits in excess of self-help reduce scholarship aid that would otherwise be provided by Amherst. An outside scholarship or employer benefit cannot be used to replace the expected family contribution. Aid applicants who receive outside scholarships or tuition benefits are reminded that the Office of Financial Aid must be informed of any such awards, regardless of amount or source.
Free Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) for 2019-20, which may be completed on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Amherst’s FAFSA code number is 002115.
If you have questions about financial aid at Amherst or the procedure for applying, please contact the Office of Financial Aid, B-5 Converse Hall – (413) 542-2296 by cell phone or from off campus, or extension 2781 from on campus.

TOKYO, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Japan’s Nikkei tumbled to a one-month low on Thursday morning in line with a global sell-off following plunges overnight in New York.
Contributing to Japan’s fall was a profit forecast cut by industrial equipment maker Yaskawa Electric, which dragged down shares of firms with large exposure to China.
On Wednesday, Wall Street posted its biggest daily declines in eight months, after European shares had their worst day since June as concerns around rising debt yields gripped equity markets world-wide.
The Nikkei share average fall as much as 4.2 percent to 22,564.10, the lowest point since Sept. 12. At the midday break, it was down 3.9 percent to 22,591.10.
The benchmark index has fallen 7.7 percent from a 27-year high of 24,448.07 hit last week.
“The market is facing a correction as investors are fleeing from risky assets on the back of a macro factor, which is rising U.S. yields,” said Shusuke Yamada, chief Japan FX/equity strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Mnuchin said the Treasury was monitoring currency issues “very carefully” and noted that the Chinese currency had fallen “significantly” during the year, adding that he wanted to discuss it with Beijing as part of trade talks.
The comments are “stoking fears that the Sino-U.S. trade war can deepen and drag on longer than expected,” said Norihiro Fujito, a chief investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.
While all of the Topix’s 33 subsectors were in the red, China-related stocks underperformed.
Yaskawa Electric, which has large exposure to China, slashed its annual net profit forecast by 12.6 percent to reflect weak demand in motion controllers hit by falling capital expenditure as the Sino-U.S. trade dispute drags on.
The stock sank as much as 7.3 percent to hit a 10-month low of 2,980 yen. Shares of Fanuc Corp, Nabtesco Corp and Mitsubishi Electric Corp, slipped 6.8 percent, 7.4 percent and 6.2 percent, respectively.
Chip equipment makers lost ground on signs of slowing demand in the semiconductor industry, with Tokyo Electron sliding 4.7 percent, Advantest Corp tanking 5.3 percent and Screen Holdings declining 3.4 percent.
SoftBank Corp, which has stakes in global tech companies such as Alibaba, was down 7.1 percent, reflecting weakness in global tech stocks.
Traders said investors are also worried about its Vision Fund’s exposure to U.S. tech firms and Asian tech firms listed in the U.S. market whose shares have been battered recently.
Shares of cosmetic makers, considered inbound tourism stocks, were also sharply sold, with Shiseido Co falling 6.5 percent and Kose Corp dropping 6.8 percent on worries Chinese tourism demand may fall.

We advise the Privy Council about the quality of the processes eight of the regulators use to recommend candidates for appointment and re-appointment as chairs and members of their councils. (This does not include the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland). The Privy Council may also ask for our advice in relation to similar processes, such as the removal of a chair or council member.
The Privy Council makes these appointments, but the regulators are responsible for running a suitable process to select candidates to recommend to the Privy Council. Our role is to check the process the regulator has used, and assess whether it is fair, transparent and open, whether it inspires confidence, and whether it ensures all selection decisions are based on evidence of merit.
We advise the Privy Council whether each process meets this standard. We take no view on the suitability of particular candidates, and we have no say in who is appointed.

LONDON (Reuters) - Premier League Bournemouth will be without new signing Dominic Solanke throughout January because of a hamstring injury, manager Eddie Howe said on Saturday.
The south coast club signed England international Solanke from Liverpool for a fee reported by British media to be 19 million pounds ($24 million) on Friday but he missed the 3-1 FA Cup defeat by Brighton and Hove Albion.
“Dominic will miss most of January,” Howe said. “He’s got a bit of a hamstring issue so it will be more February before we’re likely to see him in action.
Solanke, who has one senior international cap, failed to make a Premier League appearance for Liverpool this season.

Dissertation Help: Stuck? Try a Mind Map!
I made this mind map as an illustration, but also to help myself plan what I would talk about in my upcoming newsletter. It was fun to do and made the planning easy.
As you can see, you simply start with your central thought, then use the main branches for the main associations to that thought. You continue to do the same as you think about each branch. The colors and any pictures you can insert will help “wake up” your right hemisphere, which is more capable of considering multiple ideas at the same time. Your (sometimes overly) analytical left hemisphere gets a little bit of a break, and you can think more creatively.

Here Soundsmith installed two discreet yet interconnected projection systems with concealed screens, motorised flip-down ceiling speakers and an interactive lectern with flush mounted confidence monitor and touch screen control system. The lectern was completely removable when not in use, therefore enabling the hall to be used for other activities. We programmed presets into the system, which enabled users to deploy and control the system with single screen taps. Soundsmith were also asked to supply and install a complete stage lighting system and PA system for use in performances.
The control equipment and amplification was housed in a wheeled flightcase, which could be stored safely when not in use. All of the equipment we provided at St Patricks was designed and installed in such a way as to enable multiple uses of the hall when the systems were not required.

Dr. Chopik's article "Happy People Make Their Spouses Healthier" posted on Time site.
But a new study suggests that people whose spouses are happier are probably also in better shape, even independently of their own happiness. In fact, the study’s data suggests that people with a happy partner are 34% more likely to be healthy than those married to a downer.
One-third of Michigan’s public school administrators have nowhere to go for information about programs to help students deal with bullying, manage their emotions or build healthy relationships.
This fellowship is supported in affiliation with the Center for Mental Health Services Research, within the George Warren Brown School of Social Work, at Washington University in St. Louis.

Porsche might be in the middle of a heated debate over its 911 GT3, with owners asking financial compensation while the sports cars are under recall over fire risks, but the German manufacturer isn’t the only one to see its vehicle go up in flames.
More recently, a Nissan GT-R, also praised for its road and track performance, caught fire while doing what it knows best — lapping the Nurburgring course. The incident occurred during a track day event, when the driver noticed smoke coming out of the vehicle’s right front side, apparently due to overheated breaks, pulled over and jumped right out.
The track fire team arrived just in time to extinguish the flames and prevent an explosion, but it was a little too late for the GT-R Spec-V, which had sustained enough damage to put it beyond repair. The incident is rather peculiar, as the GT-R Spec-V was developed with track performance in mind, being fitted with numerous carbon-fiber parts, including brake ducts.
Seeing a vehicle burn on a race course or a public road is far from being amusing, but we can’t help notice how the driver - most likely the owner of the vehicle - was trying to take snapshots while the GT-R’s front end was melting under the extreme heat.
Will this occurrence open a can of worms for Nissan? Not very likely as it seems we just witnessed an isolated event. However, we’ll be on the lookout for follow ups on this story.

abstract in english: The paper presents selected Kurdish cultural institutions in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It is based on the interviews taken by dr Joanna Bocheńska in April and May 2014 in Erbil, Duhok and Suleymaniya. The collected data are presented according to the questionnaire prepared by dr Renata Kurpiewska-Korbut as well as taking into consideration the spontaneous character of the majority of responses which helped to reveal many additional details concerning institutions’ activities and tasks. As far as Kurdish cultural institutions are concerned they are seen as the creators of modern times, its goals indicate that one of the most important questions is to uphold continuity inside the developing culture linking modern activity with past knowledge and experiences. This research is the result of cooperation between the Section of Kurdish Studies (Jagiellonian University, Kraków and The Institute of Research and Developement - Kurdistan (Kurdistan Region, Erbil).

CPA Heather Waldman shares the career path she took to become a leader in the accounting field.
When Tennis Canada’s CFO came to Canada from Cape Town, South Africa in December 1990 with her husband and 10-month old daughter, she had to write conversion exams to get her Canadian CA designation. She had graduated from the University of Cape Town with a degree in marketing in 1983, then earned her Bachelor of Commerce degree and a Graduate Diploma in accounting. By 1988, she was a CA.
“It took me a while to get there,” she says of her designation, which she achieved while working full time at an auditing firm and in Arthur Anderson’s tax division in Cape Town. “I had a marketing degree before deciding I was better suited to the accounting profession,” she says from her Toronto office.
She launched her career here in 1991, working part time at Monitor Company Canada in Toronto, a consulting firm that helps companies worldwide achieve their potential. During the first year, she got her Canadian accounting designation, then worked in a variety of positions over the next eight years, including controller for Monitor’s five Asian offices and in the role of global tax planning and transfer pricing.
She believes her biggest career risk was leaving her secure position there in 2000 to be CFO at Postlinx, a direct mail service provider. Her three years there followed by some contract positions set her up nicely for Tennis Canada.
“I was ready to get involved with a company I could help move forward when Tennis Canada came along,” she says.
Now, she is in the top finance job at the Toronto-based not-for-profit organization that stages big events such as the Rogers Cup. As CFO and vice-president, Finance & Administration, its financial health rests on her shoulders.
That involves tracking revenues and cash flows, and ensuring the money is there to follow through on new projects. Recently, she started the initiative that introduced a new software database package that will help determine how customers use their services.
Waldman believes that being able to see the big picture and set goals helps make good leaders. Self-confidence goes a long way when it comes to decision making, and having enough aplomb to admit mistakes, compromise when necessary and identify your weaknesses are big benefits.
“Hire people who are skilled where you are not,” she recommends.
Finally: listen, keep learning and work hard.

HAProxy CustomConfig allows you to configure your load balancer through the comfort of your browser. In addition to the settings described below, you could also refer to the HAProxy documentation for more information about configurations.
While on your Application Overview, click on the load balancer add-in to log in to your HAProxy stats page. Once logged in, you will see a variety of statistics for your load balancer and any potential issues.
By default, HAProxy is configured to use the external IP address of your servers, but it can be changed to use the internal addresses if you have private networking enabled.
Simply replace any server.ext_ipv4 values with server.int_ipv4 using HAProxy CustomConfig (below).
You can also specify your own test interval if you like - this is done in the server section of your HAProxy configuration. This section is on line 53 of the default configuration.
By default, HAProxy will visit the / endpoint on your application every 2 seconds to determine its state. This endpoint may need to change if that endpoint isn’t available to the load balancer.
You will want to look at the httpchk option to change the endpoint - the simplest solution is to create a low overhead non-auth HTTP route somewhere in your application.
For example, you could place a file called check.html in your /public folder, which would be served directly by Nginx (not your application). It would be available at /check.html.
You can customize the HAProxy configuration on your HAProxy server using CustomConfig (below).
CustomConfig uses the Liquid templating language. You can find many incredible guides and tutorials into the Liquid syntax around the web, but the syntax is easy enough to pick up in minutes.
The following variables are available to use in HAProxy CustomConfig.
This process will be stopped if an error is encountered.
A bad HAProxy configuration might stop your HAProxy server from working. Take extra care to make sure the configuration is correct.
You can set your HAproxy to show a maintenance page when it cannot connect to a container.

Yes, to get quick cash to your door will be quite possible now. It is thanks to advancement of technology that now, online forms are available. They are part of loan process, the procedure is now very easy and this is because of the use of online facilities. The fast payday loans no teletrack also use this online system for you.
In reality, especially in today’s economy, what traditional financial business will lend you any money if you have poor credit? None that I am aware of.
Because online cash advance businesses don’t really pay much attention to your credit history, if you know some no Teletrack pay day loan tips you can get a fast payday loan and get the money you need always whenever you want.
Payday loans are a fast way to get money for clients who have filed bankruptcy or are having bad credit history. Payday loan businesses provide instant cash advance for a short-term period, typically between 2-3 weeks. The amounts of these loans usually do not exceed $1,000. To offer fast service and cover the risk that may be involved in the process, the loan companies charge interest at a higher rate in comparison to other long-term traditional loans.
As it was discussed above, the Teletrack credit system is frequently employed by payday loan providers, although it is important to realize they are not connected. The system is just a means to supply providers with the required information to identify customers with higher risk whom they can then either refuse service or accept but at a higher cost rate in common with the risk imposed. On the positive side though, the use of this system by lenders also make it easier to reduce overall customer risk exposure thus enabling more further customers to be accepted for lending than otherwise may be the case.
What are Direct Payday Lenders?
The payday loans industry has two main players that function and provide loans to borrowers. There players are direct lenders and indirect lenders. Being a borrower means you will run across both types of cash advance lenders and it is important to be aware of the differences to get the best rates for your loan.
Why are online lenders the best?
Online lenders are a good alternative because they save you more cash over the typical stores. Because an online lender doesn’t need to pay for rent, lights, or anything else that is involved in running a brick and mortar store, they can pass the savings on to the consumer. Another aspect has a lot to do with the amount of the competition that’s currently online. If a company is going to profit from your business, they are going to have to work for it. There are lots of companies to choose from, so they can’t just expect to get you to sign up for any old deal. They will be forced to offer lower rates and competitive terms. That’s the biggest factor to apply online.

Lately I’ve slowly been trying to grok the fullness of dynamic programming. It is an algorithmic technique that the vast majority of developers never master, which is unfortunate since it can help you come up with viable solutions for seemingly intractable problems. The issue with dynamic programming (besides the totally misleading name), is that it can be very difficult to see how to apply it to a particular problem and even when you do, it is a real pain to get it right. Anyway, I don’t want to expound on this, I have something more interesting in mind.
I was surfing the web the other day and in the course of my random wanderings I ended up at the Dropbox programming challenges page. Apparently, the Dropbox guys have posted up some coding challenges for people who want to apply to work there (and everyone else, I guess, since it’s on the internet and all :)). Challenge 3 (The Dropbox Diet) immediately caught my eye since it looked like one of those problems that should have a dynamic programming solution, so I decided to use it as an opportunity to practice. The full description of the problem is on the challenge page, but here is the gist of it.
We get a list of up to 50 activities and an associated calorie value for each (either positive or negative), we need to find a subset of activities where the sum of all the calorie values is zero.
It sounded easy enough until ****I thought about it and realised it was more complex than it first appeared. So, I went for a walk :) and when I came back I settled in to analyse it for real. The first part of solving any problem is to really understand what problem you’re trying to solve (that one sentence really deserves its own article). In this case the activities list is just extraneous information, what we really have is a list of numbers and we need to find a subset of these numbers where the sum of the subset is equal to a particular value. It took me quite a while to come up with that definition, but once you have something like that, you can do some research and see if it is a known problem.
Of course, I did nothing of the kind, I had already decided that there must be a dynamic programming solution so I went ahead and tried to come up with it myself. This wasted about an hour at the end of which I had absolutely nothing; I guess my dynamic programming chops are still lamb-chops as opposed to nice meaty beef-chops :). Having failed I decided to do what I should have done in the first place – some research. Since I had taken the time to come up with a decent understanding of the problem, it only took 5 minutes of Googling to realise that I was dealing with the subset sum problem.
The unfortunate thing about the subset sum problem is the fact that it’s NP-complete. This means that if our input is big enough we may be in trouble. Wikipedia does give some algorithmic approaches to the problem (no code though), but just to cross our t’s I also cracked open Cormen et al (have you ever noticed how that book has everything when it comes to algorithms :)). In this case the book agreed with Wikipedia, but once again, no code (there are only two things I don’t like about Intro To Algorithms, the lack of real code and the lack of examples). I browsed the web some more, in case it would give me further insight into the problem, but there wasn’t much more to know – it was time to get my code on.
This allows us to generate all the possible subsets of our input, all we have to do then is pick out the subsets that sum up to the value we’re looking for (e.g. 0).
All the subsets in that list sum up to less than or equal to our reference value (__). All we need to do now is pick out the ones that we’re after.
It’s simple and works very well for any input array with less than 20 values or so, and if you try it with more than 25 – good luck waiting for it to finish :). Exponential time is no good if we want it to work with an input size of 50 (or more) numbers.
So far so good, but what should we put in every cell of our matrix. In this case every cell will contain either T (true) or F (false).
A T value in a cell means that the sum that the column is labelled with can be constructed using the input array numbers that are indexed by the current row label and the labels of all the previous rows we have already looked at. An F in a cell means the sum of the column label cannot be constructed. Let’s try to fill in our matrix to see how this works.
We start with the first row, the number indexed by the row label is 1, there is only one sum that can be made using that number – 1. So only one cell gets a T in it, all the rest get an F.
All those sums get a T in their column for this row.
There are three patterns that are starting to emerge.
For every row, the column which is equivalent to the number indexed by the row get a T in it (e.g. row zero represents the number 1, so the column labelled by 1 gets a T in row 0, row one represents the number -3 so the column labelled by -3 get a T in row 1 etc.), every row will get one T in one of the columns via this pattern. This is because a single number by itself is a valid subset sum.
If a column already has a T in the previous row, this T propagates down to the current row (e.g. when looking at the second row, the column labelled by 1 has a T in the first row and will therefore have a T in the second row also, when looking at the third row columns labelled by -3, -2 and 1 all had a T in the second row and will therefore contain a T in the third row). This is due to the fact that once it is possible to construct a certain sum using a subset of our input numbers, looking at more of the input numbers does not invalidate the existing subsets.
Looking at any column label X in the current row which still has a value of F, if we subtract the number indexed by the current row from this column label we get a new number Y, we then check the row above the current row in the column labelled by Y, if we see a T, this T is propagated into the column X in the current row (e.g. if we’re looking at the second row, column labelled with -2, we subtract the number of the current row -3 from the column label, -2 – -3 = -2 + 3 = 1, this new number is the column label in the first row, we can see that in the first row in the column labelled with 1 there is a T, therefore this T gets propagated to the second row into the column labelled with -2). This is due to the fact that if we take a sum that is already possible and add another number to it, this obviously creates a new sum which is now possible.
One final problem remains, how can we use this matrix to get the subset that adds up to the value we want (i.e. 0). This is also reasonably simple. We start in the column labelled by the sum we’re after, in our case we start in the column labelled by zero. If this column does not contain a T then our sum is not possible and the input does not have a solution. In our case, the column does have a T so we’re in business.
We start at the last row in this column; if it has a T and the row above has a T we go to the row above.
If the row above has an F then we take the number which is indexed by the current row and write it into our final output.
We then subtract this number from the column label to get the next column label. We jump to the new column label and go up a row.
Once again if there is a T there and there is an F above, then we write the number indexed by the row into our output and subtract it from the current column label to get the next column label.
We then jump to that column and go up a row again.
We keep doing this until we get to the top of the matrix, at this point the numbers we have written to the output will be our solution.
Since we’re at the top of the matrix, we’re done. As you can see the procedure we perform to reconstruct the output subset is actually a variant of the third pattern we used to construct the matrix. And that’s all there is to it.
You can recognise the 3 patterns being applied in the ‘populate’ method. We’re, of course, missing the code for instantiating the matrix in the first place. Grab the whole thing from the gist and give it a run, it generates random inputs of size 50 with values between -1000 and 1000. And if you think that would produce quite a large matrix, you would be right :) (50 rows and about 25000 columns give or take a few thousand). But even with input size 100 it only takes a couple of seconds to get an answer, which is MUCH better than the exponential time algorithm; in my book that equals success. Dropbox Challenge 3 – solved (more or less :))!
By the way if you want to print out a few more matrices, grab the code and uncomment the relevant line (102) and you’ll get a matrix similar to those above along with the rest of the output. Obviously, if you’re doing that, make sure your input size is small enough for the matrix to actually fit on the screen. I used the great terminal-table gem to produce the nice ASCII tables.
That would be me eating my own dog food, I took the time to write it, might as well use it :).
By the way, it took me hours (pretty much the better part of a day) to get all of this stuff working properly, dynamic programming algorithms really are fiddly little beasts. But, I had some fun, and got some good practice and learning out of it – time well spent (and now there is some decent subset sum code on the internet :P). Of course once I finished with this I had to look at the other challenges, number 2 didn’t really catch my attention, but I couldn’t walk away from number 1 with its ASCII boxes and bin packing goodness – I’ll write that one up some other time.

How to use it specifically, can you elaborate?
The easiest way to convert HTML to mobiledoc is to generate a Ghost JSON file with html fields containing your content for each post instead of mobiledoc . You can then use Ghost’s standalone migration tool to convert the html field to a mobiledoc field.
This should work well for most semantic HTML, and result in a series of populated cards in the editor, making it easy to update your content in future.
I don’t really know how to be more specific than the 5 steps listed here.

AUSTIN, TX – March 11, 2013 — ClearCube Technology announced today a new enabling technology that allows 3D power users such as CAD/CAM/CAE designers, GIS analysts, and Modeling Simulation creators to remove all high powered computer resources from their work areas and move them to their datacenters.
“Information technology centralization initiatives by federal and commercial entities have very positive benefits such as power savings, better management, and higher levels of data security. Unfortunately, 3D power users were left out because they needed to do their GPU-rendering locally for performance reasons. That is no longer the case,” said Jim Zakzeski, ClearCube VP, Business Development and Marketing.
“We have numerous 3D power user customers at National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Sandia, Los Alamos, and Livermore National Laboratories, and hundreds of US military command centers that have been waiting for a technology breakthrough that will allow them to centralize all their processing resources in their secure datacenters, and now they can,” said Zakzeski.
ClearCube releases three PCoIP Zero Client Engineering Workstations this month. PCoIP Zero Client Engineering Workstations differ from traditional PCs in that the computer, memory, and storage are remotely located in a data center, while their corresponding dual/quad displays, keyboards and mice are located at the users’ desktops connected to zero clients.
Connecting the two Clearcube devices is a new PCoIP enabling technology that supports 2560 x 1600 resolutions on dual 30” displays at 60 frames per second, allowing CAD designers, simulation creators, and geospatial analysts to zoom, spin and animate 3D files without delays typically introduced by distance.
An additional cost benefit for CAD users is that expensive cabling such as fiber or Cat7 to support 10GbE at the end points is not needed. Because the GPU rendering is processed on ClearCube PCoIP Zero Client Engineering Workstations in the datacenter, large 3D file transfers to the desktop end points are eliminated. Existing Cat5 or Cat6 existing infrastructure does not have to be upgraded to implement ClearCube’s PCoIP engineering workstation solutions.
Three models are available that meet varying 3D consumer, 3D creator, and 3D senior designer CPU and GPU processing requirements.
A6106D Blade PCs are well-suited for 3D graphics consumers, with support for NVIDIA NVS 510 and Quadro 2000/4000 GPUs.
M1022W Xeon workstations support NVIDIA Quadro 6000 and K5000 GPUs for mid-range CAD, CAM, CAE developers.
M1024W adds dual Xeon support, optional fiber NIC or 10GbE adapters, SSD drives, and up to 256GB memory for high end senior designers needing Quadro 6000/K5000 GPU capabilities.
All three models have embedded PCoIP host compression adapters to transmit pixel changes and USB re-direction via IP.
ClearCube’s M1022W is one incredible PCoIP engineering workstation combining the benefits of PCoIP host-side rendering with a CPU/GPU processing platform that is at the top of the performance charts.
ClearCube’s M1024W is the second in the family of PCoIP engineering workstations combining the benefits of PCoIP host-side rendering with a CPU/GPU processing platform that is at the top of the performance charts.

Intake Manifold Pressure - Check Install pressure gauge, Part No. ST-1273, to the fitting in the turbocharger outlet. Install another pressure gauge, Part No. ST-1273, in the intake manifold. Operate the engine at rated RPM and load. Record the readings on the two gauges. If the differential pressure is greater than 21 kPa [3 psi], check the charge air cooler for plugging. Clean or replace if necessary.
Intake Manifold Temperature - Check Install a temperature gauge in the intake manifold. Lock the fan drive in the ON mode to prevent erratic test results. This can be done by installing a jumper across the temperature switch or supplying shop air to the fan. Refer to the fan drive manufacturer for lock-up procedure.
NOTE: Some trucks have a manual switch that will lock on the fan.
Operate the engine at rated RPM and load. Record the intake manifold temperature. Measure the ambient temperature at least two feet in front of the vehicle. The maximum temperature differential must not be greater than 25°C [45°F]. If the temperature differential is greater than 25° C [45° F], check the charge air cooler for dirt and debris on the fins, and clean as necessary. If the problem still exists, check the cooler for internal contamination or plugging.
To check the charge air cooler for cracked tubes or header, remove the inlet and outlet hoses from the cooler. Remove the charge air cooler. Using service Tool No. 3824556, install a cap over the outlet side of the cooler. Install a pressure gauge and a shop air supply line to the inlet side of the cooler.
Apply 276 kPa [40 psi] of air pressure to the cooler. If the pressure drop is 35 kPa [5 psi] or less in 15 seconds, the cooler is okay. If the pressure drop is greater than 35 kPa [5 psi] in 15 seconds, the charge air cooler must be repaired or replaced. Refer to the CAC manufacturer for repair instructions.
NOTE: A leak tank can be used to locate the air leak.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Comcast may make an offer for Twenty-First Century Fox, potentially putting it in a head-to-head bidding war with Disney.
Disney’s$52.4 billion bid would go a long way in allowing it to better compete with technology companies in the entertainment business. Any tie-up would put in its stable more Marvel superheros, as well as the studios that produced the Avatar movies, “The Simpsons” and “Modern Family.” Disney would control Fox’s cable and international TV businesses as well.

The use of solar heat in buildings can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Especially when the temperatures at the relevant flow, return and accumulator points are ideally monitored and evaluated. You can keep a really close eye on all measuring points using Testo Sensor's temperature probes.
Temperature probes for the outdoors are deliberately designed to respond slowly, so that heating and air conditioning systems which are controlled by the weather can adjust their output imperceptibly to the way the outside temperature changes. In addition, the robust housings are of course protected against dust, water and UV radiation.
So that indoor temperature-controlled heating and air conditioning systems can react quickly and reliably to temperature fluctuations, they need a probe which is configured to respond swiftly. Testo Sensor offers indoor temperature probes with different probe characteristics and housing shapes.

Did any of you graduates get up at 4 a.m. yesterday to watch the royal nuptials take their vows in Westminster Abbey? The whole world has gone gaga over the wedding of handsome Prince William and lovely Kate Middleton. And I suppose the Nielsen statistics will reveal that a billion-plus people on earth were glued to their televisions to oooh and aaah over this spectacular third millennial version of the ancient fairy tale. (Confession—I was sound asleep—I’ve already married the princess of my dreams!) God bless the queen and the prince and his new bride. But a day later, I’ve got some very good news for you who walk down this aisle to celebrate your own epoch-making tale. Follow the logic of this string of declarations: (1) “God exalted him [Christ] to his own right hand as Prince and Savior” (Acts 5:31); and (2) “Jesus is not ashamed to call [us] brothers and sisters” (Hebrews 2:11 NIV ‘11). And what are “brothers and sisters” of a Prince called? You got it—princes and princesses. Now look, let’s not take this royals craze too far—but you get the point. The God of the universe incarnated himself in our midst for 30 some years, dying as our Savior, and rising again as our Lord and King. Whether you call him Prince and all of us his brothers and sisters, or whether you call him King of kings and all of us his children—the quiet truth still shines bright: In Christ we are children of royalty. So, graduate, live the life of a radical prince and princess. No glitz and glamour for you. You are a child of the Most High King—and the moment your diploma is in hand tomorrow (or a facsimile thereof), you embark upon a divine mission—the fulfillment of the dream God has had for your life from the day you began to breathe. Where will he take you, where will you go? This much I know. Somewhere out there, there is a little Seventh-day Adventist church (maybe not so little) that truly needs your passion, your talents, your eagerness to serve. Please don’t spend the next year wandering from congregation to congregation (or simply deciding that you’re too busy to find life in a local congregation of any interest). In the words of our namesake here at this university, “I know of but one way: Find a field of labor, ask God to help, take off your coat, and pitch into the work” (John Nevins Andrews). And as you do so, remember that there’s a little village pastor back on your alma mater campus that will be cheering you on. God hasn’t brought you this far in life to make you a pauper. You’re royalty, my friend—so go forth and live like the Prince who calls you to follow!

Terminating your marriage does not end the joys and responsibilities of raising your children. Changing family dynamics requires special care and planning regarding the parenting of children.
Legal custody of children refers to parental decision making with regard to nurturing, discipline and guidance as the child grows. Physical custody deals with the child’s residence. Both legal and physical custody can be joint or allocated to one parent or the other.
Visitation refers to the access each parent has to the child. Parenting access plans can vary widely from the very restrictive (certain days, times, places) to the very liberal (open and reasonable). Such access can also be shared on an equal or nearly equal time basis.
Both child custody and parenting plans can be modified as the needs of the child or parents change over the years up until the child reaches 18 years of age. The standard in all such modification is in the best interest of the child.
This can be done as a stand-alone service, or in conjunction with other services, such as child support or alimony.

For patients with suboptimally controlled type 1 diabetes, day-and-night hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery improves glucose control compared with sensor-augmented pump therapy.
HealthDay News — For patients with suboptimally controlled type 1 diabetes, day-and-night hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery improves glucose control compared with sensor-augmented pump therapy, according to a study published online Oct. 3 in The Lancet. The research was published to coincide with the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, held from Oct. 1 to 5 in Berlin.
Martin Tauschmann, M.D., from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, and colleagues randomly assigned participants aged 6 years and older treated with an insulin pump and with suboptimal glycemic control to receive hybrid closed-loop therapy (46 patients) or sensor-augmented pump therapy (40 patients) during 12 weeks of free living.
The researchers found that glucose was within the target range of more than 3.9 mmol/L and less than 10.0 mmol/L for a significantly greater proportion of time in the closed-loop group (65 versus 54 percent) compared with the control group.
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values reduced from a screening value of 8.3 percent to 8.0 percent after the four-week run-in and to 7.4 percent after the 12-week intervention period in the closed-loop group. In the control group, the corresponding HbA1c values were 8.2, 7.8, and 7.7 percent. There was a significantly greater reduction in HbA1c percentages in the closed-loop group (mean difference in change, 0.36 percent).
“Hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery improves glucose control while reducing the risk of hypoglycemia across a wide age range in patients with suboptimally controlled type 1 diabetes,” the authors write.

Why cloud computing represents a paradigm shift for business, and how business users can best take advantage of cloud services.
Most of the information available on cloud computing is either highly technical, with details that are irrelevant to non-technologists, or pure marketing hype, in which the cloud is simply a selling point. This book, however, explains the cloud from the user’s viewpointthe business user’s in particular. Nayan Ruparelia explains what the cloud is, when to use it (and when not to), how to select a cloud service, how to integrate it with other technologies, and what the best practices are for using cloud computing.
Cutting through the hype, Ruparelia cites the simple and basic definition of cloud computing from the National Institute of Science and Technology: a model enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Thus with cloud computing, businesses can harness information technology resources usually available only to large enterprises. And this, Ruparelia demonstrates, represents a paradigm shift for business. It will ease funding for startups, alter business plans, and allow big businesses greater agility.
Ruparelia discusses the key issues for any organization considering cloud computing: service level agreements, business service delivery and consumption, finance, legal jurisdiction, security, and social responsibility. He introduces novel concepts made possible by cloud computing: cloud cells, or specialist clouds for specific uses; the personal cloud; the cloud of things; and cloud service exchanges. He examines use case patterns in terms of infrastructure and platform, software information, and business process; and he explains how to transition to a cloud service. Current and future users will find this book an indispensable guide to the cloud.

Dr. Shufflebarger with patient in EOS imaging machine.
Dr. Harry Shufflebarger, award-winning surgeon and practitioner, brings 40 years of experience and proven procedures to every child's care.
Nicklaus Children’s Hospital provides diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders in children and teens.
The Division of Spinal Surgery at Nicklaus Children’s is one of the nation’s leading providers of treatment for children with spinal conditions such as scoliosis. The division has been providing treatment for more than 35 years and has been instrumental in development of corrective surgical procedures for spine conditions now in use throughout the world.
“We built a high-level, high-functioning spine surgery program 25 years ago and have been able to maintain it,” says Dr. Harry Shufflebarger, director of the Center for Spinal Disorders and a veteran of 40 years with Nicklaus.
The Center has established itself as one of the most experienced and successful in the nation in treating spine disorders in children. In fact, Dr. Shufflebarger was instrumental in developing surgical spine treatments now in use around the world and contributes extensively to clinical research that continues the advancement of treatment practices. Best practice guidelines developed by Dr. Shufflebarger have significantly decreased length of hospital stay after scoliosis surgery.
Bracing is the mainstay of non-surgical scoliosis treatment. It is usually indicated for children whose curves are less than 40 degrees by measurement, assuming some growth still lies ahead. The goal of bracing is the prevention of curve progression; it doesn’t correct it.
The Center sees children from newborns up to their early 20s, but the most common patient is in the adolescent group — ages 12 to 16.
There are a number of different causes of scoliosis, such as scoliosis associated with vertebral malformations, which is congenital. Children with genetic scoliosis are not born with it, but they have the gene make-up to develop it later, similar to the onset of diabetes. And finally, there are children who have neuro-muscular problems such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, and they can also develop scoliosis.
As an innovator in spinal deformity care and a globally renowned expert in the treatment of pediatric spinal conditions, Dr. Shufflebarger has been honored for his contributions in the area of spinal instrumentation and unparalleled commitment to his patients and the medical community. His recent awards include being the recipient of the 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Scoliosis Research Society.
The Center offers a team approach to care that has been established as a model of practice within the spinal surgical field. The team includes the board-certified orthopedic surgeons who perform spinal surgery in children, dedicated spine-trained anesthesiologists and a MD neurologist who monitors the spinal cord and nerve function throughout surgery.
Dedicated spinal surgical nurses, technicians and radiology technicians complete the team. The surgical nurses are experts in the care of spinal surgery patients, managing six to eight patients per week. The majority of surgical scoliosis cases at Nicklaus take between three and four hours to complete. In addition, Child Life Specialists work with children and families upon admission to help with questions before and after surgery.
“We have a pretty standard recovery protocol,” Dr. Shufflebarger says. “We don’t use intensive care for post-operative patients. We use a regular medical surgical floor. Our floor nurses are familiar with the post-op course and can pick up on anything that’s out of the ordinary, if that happens, and report it to us. They do a great job.
For children that have been in braces, scoliosis surgery gets them out of the brace. “There’s usually been a visual deformity associated with this,” Dr. Shufflebarger says, “and that’s pretty well gone. They’re very happy about their shape and they are assured that their scoliosis is controlled or fixed and that there’s no risk of it getting worse.
