Currently sitting at 6-4-4, the NKU Men’s Soccer team is on pace for a record year. With a new coach at the helm and nearly half the team made up of international students, the Norse have accumulated five more wins than last season and are only two wins shy of the 2015 season.

With half the team from outside of the U.S., creating team chemistry can be challenging and–according to head coach Stu Riddle–winning games is helps with that process.

“When you have a team identity and you ask the players to go and play in a certain way…I think that creates good unity and good spirit because there is a belief there that they all share,” Riddle said.

For many on the team, Riddle said it’s a whole new experience. Coming to a country is one thing, but living in a new place is a different experience altogether. He added that the first few weeks are an adjustment period.

Eleven of NKU’s 23 players hail from 10 different countries ranging from South Africa to Italy to Sweden to New Zealand.

“It’s a very different country here; it’s a different lifestyle…the style of soccer is different here, too,” said Bastian Beckers, a junior from Nettetal, Germany. “The first year was difficult, but once you get used to it, it’s ok.”

Stu Riddle, the NKU head coach, always wants to end practice with soccer-related team building activities, such as scrimmages and fun games. The goal of these are to make players more comfortable and to end on a positive note, he said.

“It’s very difficult for the internationals to come here for their first year because they are so far from home,” Riddle said. “We understand it is a struggle and we have to be here for them.”

Though it can be a challenge feel comfortable living in a new area, provide for yourself and meet new people, it also comes with a herd of benefits. For Rizwaan Dharsey, a junior from Johannesburg, South Africa, he said he’s able to gain understanding.

“You learn from them, it’s a great learning environment. You learn not only about your teammate’s background, but learn about America, as well,” Dharsey said.

Since the players players live together on campus, they are able to grow and learn alongside each other.

“You get the respect of other people’s traditions and holidays,” said Calvin Murphy, a junior from Cavan, Ireland. “You get to see what they do and you can experience it with them.”

With the team always doing activities outside of practice such as eating, living and even going to an Escape Room, you grow as a collective unit, Beckers said.

“We do everything together, they become your family.”

Though soccer is played worldwide, it varies depending on the country itself. Dharsey noted that the gameplay is a lot more physical in the United States, with a faster, more demanding mindset.

For international players, Riddle said one of the hardest adjustments is the amount of games and how frequently they are played.

“Most of these guys are used to playing one game a week,” Riddle said. “Now it is multiple in a week and you have to throw in travel and heat; it’s a different experience.”

Not only is the physicality of the game different, but the play as well.

“Back home it was more technical. We would possess the ball for two or three minutes at a time…here it is like a pick and rush,” Beckers said.


Mobile devices are everywhere. The evidence they hold can be the key to a successful investigation outcome, if you are able to acquire it. Water-damaged phones add even more complexity. How successful have you and your agency been in responding to water-damaged devices?
Steve Watson, a technologist focused in the areas of e-discovery, forensics, risk and compliance, posed this question to a full house at Enfuse (CEIC 2015) earlier this year. The popularity of his session, “Water-Damaged Devices – An Analysis of Evidence Locker Corrosion,” made a clear statement that EnCase® users are ready and eager to learn how best to tackle the data that resides on damaged devices.

Presently there is a lot of talk about the practice of Mindfulness in the media as one of the ‘new’ forms of treatment for depression and anxiety. Ironically, mindfulness as a form of meditative practice is in fact as old as the hills. It is only recently, that evidence-based studies have brought to the fore the powerful effects this practice can have in reducing some of life’s most difficult problems – rumination and worry.
I have been using mindfulness techniques myself for about 6 months and I for one can testify to the beneficial effects they have had on reducing my own inner world. It is important to note here that I am not implying that I no longer find myself caught up in worries and pessimistic thoughts. In fact, I think I have become even more aware of how often my mind tends to lead me down this old familiar path of negativity. The effect of practicing mindfulness has led me down a completely different path, one where I am able to relatively quickly spot these thoughts as they float into my consciousness and then take a decidedly different course of action. In the past I would only become aware of such intrusions after having acted on them in some way, whether it be to try and ignore them or to act in a way that would suggest that such negative thoughts were truths rather than thoughts or opinions. Now I am not only able to spot them as they arise, I am happy to let them be, safe in the knowledge that they are just that – thoughts.
The practice of mindfulness appears in theory to be a very simple meditative act but the truth is it is a difficult and sometimes elusive skill to acquire. I have started to introduce mindfulness into my private clinical practice with great effect. Those who fully apply themselves to regular (daily) practice do appear to reap the benefits associated with a grater sense of self and greater ability to let unhelpful thoughts pass by without engaging or trying to escape.
As a cognitive behavioural therapist, there can be a tendency to stick with the evidence-based route, helping clients to challenge negative and unhelpful thoughts. Having incorporated mindfulness into my practice, I now recognise that this approach is not a one-size fits all solution to the problem of depression and anxiety. We cannot ever truly eradicate free thought, which in itself can be a great tool and without which we would lead much less richer lives. We can however, choose to cultivate that part of ourselves that is innately human; the ability to observe our own thoughts. Coupled with a non-judgmental acceptance of our inner ‘chatter’, we might just find ourselves on the path to better mental health and greater contentment despite the ever more chaotic and frantic world we find ourselves in.

It was clear on arrival that you are in a stunningly rural area of Yorkshire – the hotel’s location makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, which is perfect if you are staying here with your dog(s).
As you turn down the sweeping drive to the hotel, with woodland and fields all around you, you are presented with a beautiful old building and immaculate grounds and a very large car park.
As you enter reception it feels very homely and cosy and the staff are very friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. On a notice board in the reception area it is lovely and reassuring to see ‘Thank you’ cards from previous clients and their dogs about their amazing stay.
We were staying with our dog Josh, a Pack Beagle, in one of the hotels ‘dog friendly’ suites and were shown to our room by Paul who was very polite and helpful.
Entering our room we were stunned by the tranquil colours and quality of the fixtures and fittings – everything was in neutral colours and done very tastefully. However, possibly a worry to us and others visiting with dogs was there may be evidence that dogs had stayed in the room before, however, no such evidence presented itself which was fantastic. The room we stayed in was spacious so allowing the dog and us plenty of room to settle in and be very comfortable during our stay.
Our room had beautiful views over the rolling countryside and over the lake in the grounds of the hotel. It had, as I believe all do had free wi-fi, Freeview television in both the lounge and the bedroom areas an endless supply of tea and coffee, complimentary bottles of water and all the other facilities you would expect in this level of hotel ie hairdryer, bathrobes, and complimentary toiletries.
On visiting the actual hotel dogs are encouraged to join their owner(s) in almost all areas of the hotel, and water bowls are left out or the dogs to help themselves.
On our stay the hotel had other guests visiting with dogs and some without but at no point did we feel that dogs were intrusive with our or their stay. Due to our visit being in the winter we only stayed within the grounds of the hotel which had a good mix of pathed walk ways and grass areas in the grounds and around the lake which makes the walking of your dog(s) in poor weather still a pleasurable experience. It should be noted that at no point did we see any dog waste in the grounds of the hotel – this is obviously well managed by the staff and the responsible dog owners visiting the hotel.
In the grounds there are numerous outdoor seating areas both covered and uncovered with a mix of seating to suit different occasions – How lovely would this be to sit outside with your dog on a summers evening?
At breakfast we ate in the bar restaurant which means your dog is allowed to eat with you. On this occasion there were other dogs and their owners eating also but this certainly caused no issues and was not off-putting. At all times if eating in the bar dogs are made to feel like one of the family. Water bowls are provided next to the table and the staff are always keen to meet yours and the dogs needs.
As an aside the quality of all food but especially the evening meal is outstanding, whether it be the superb quality of ingredients, the presentation of the plates or the flavours of the food – we have eaten in a number of top restaurants without our dog and this certainly matched and possibly surpassed some of those but the advantage this time was our dog was with us to share the experience.
We talked to Lindsay, the General Manager of the hotel, who was incredibly professional and friendly at all points during our stay. She informed us that all breeds and all sizes of dogs are welcome to stay at the hotel and it is not uncommon for people to bring more than one dog, and indeed this happened on our visit.
So, in summary we would recommend this hotel for dogs and their owners if they like to be spoilt (with their dog(s) both by the beauty of what the hotel has to offer but also by the surroundings of the beautiful Yorkshire moors, and we certainly would look to re-visit in the future with our dog.


U.S. Slams Thai Junta Over Facebook Arrests

The U.S. has condemned Thailand’s ruling junta over a crackdown on the use of Facebook by activists in the country. The crackdown has led to the mother of one activist being detained and charged for little more than receiving a supposedly unacceptable message.
According to Agence France-Presse, Katina Adams, State Department spokeswoman for East Asia and the Pacific, said the actions of the generals, who stole power in a May 2014 coup, “create a climate of intimidation and self-censorship.” She added: “We are troubled by the recent arrests of individuals in connection with online postings, and the detention of Patnaree Chankij.”
Patnaree, 40, the mother of pro-democracy leader Sirawith Seritiwa, was charged last week with lèse majesté or defaming the Thai royal family. She reportedly only responded with the affirmative “ja” to a Facebook message critical of the monarchy, but now faces 15 years in prison. The country’s military rulers have warned that simply “liking” or sharing a post can lead to prosecution, although an official has insisted that authorities have more evidence to prove Patnaree committed lèse majesté.
Eight other activists have also been charged with sedition for administrating a Facebook group named “We Love Gen. Prayut” after the junta leader and self-appointed prime minister, Prayuth Chan-ocha. All but two have been bailed, but they all face lengthy jail terms if convicted, the Bangkok Post reports.
Activists say private messages have been presented as evidence by the authorities, leading to questions over how the messages were accessed. Facebook has reportedly denied handing users’ private information to the junta.

I am a big fan of repetition and consistency. Even in my 'worst of times' i strove on repetition, symmetry, and excessive moderation. But breaking repetition, can lead to opportunity if looking w/ new eyes.
From 2000-2008 during the middle weekend of April you could find me walking around at the best free festival in the land, French Quarter Fest...and from 2009-present, as staff photographer.
And every Halloween weekend from 2001-2012 you could find me at Voodoo Fest. More specifically from 2008-2012 you could find me shooting portraits behind the Preservation Hall stage, amidst a new backdrop every year but the same smiling, participatory faces of musicians, artists, and friends. 2013 marks the 1st year i will not be "working" Voodoo Fest, and i can't tell you how excited i am. I already miss the camaraderie of the backstage sanctuary we created every year - old friends coming by to say hi and be photographed, bringing their newborns or new loves, musicians bringing their favorite axe or uke to be photographed - people coming back to the quiet to drink, have a smoke, or just relax. I already miss it.
What was special about shooting portraits was great in part because of the vibe Preservation Hall Band and it's crew bring w/ it wherever they go. Musicians would come 3 hours before their gig, and stay all night back there. I don't think anyone at any stage could say that...musicians and people from other stages would venture to the PH stage and just hang out because of the vibe. That, i will miss. You don't see that at too many festivals...maybe High Sierra in Quincy, CA (camp harry!) or Chaz Fest - but it's rare.
I am looking forward to attending the festival on Saturday w/ my main lady, and my holga.

Chandler was developed by Dr. Alexander Chandler, the first veterinary surgeon in the Arizona territory, who originally bought 80 acres from the U.S. Government in the Salt RiverValley. By the year 1900, he had amassed an 18,000 acre ranch, which was then subdivided into a town and its surroundings. Agriculture, especially cotton, grains and alfalfa, as well as cattle, sheep and ostriches surrounded the new town. By 1920 Chandler’s population was over 1,000.
More recently, Chandler has enlarged geographically and demographically, with an area of 64.9 square miles and a population of more than 255,000. Housing units are almost 105,000, and the average household income as of 2012 was over $81,000. The median home value is now $291,000.Located southeast of Phoenix, Chandler offers proximity to a large metropolis and a suburban lifestyle.

Yesterday, the Duchess of Cambridge ended a day of engagements at the National Portrait Gallery, attending a gala in support of transforming the building and its initiatives – the most substantial such change since its opening.
The official theme of the gala was ‘Inspiring People: Transforming Our National Portrait Gallery’ – and marks the Gallery’s “biggest ever development since our historic building opened in 1896,” according to its official website.
“We will deepen the understanding and enjoyment of our remarkable Collection, sharing it with the widest and most diverse audience possible.”
The Duchess of Cambridge arrives for this evening’s @NPGLondon #PortraitGala, where Her Royal Highness will meet members of the Gallery’s Youth Forum and view artwork produced by some of the National Portrait Gallery’s outreach schemes. pic.twitter.com/AYnvxWGc0X
— Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) March 12, 2019
The Gallery’s focus will be on building partnerships, expanding its school programme, building volunteer and placement opportunities; new, creative projects for young people around the UK; improved digital resources; and skills sharing through a network of UK museums.
There will also be a new entrance, a new way to display collections, a focus on re-opening the East Wing and creating a learning centre.
Inside, Kate met with members of the National Portrait Gallery’s Youth Forum and Learning Team to learn about Creative Connections, a programme for young people between the ages of 14 and 16, where they’re partnered with contemporary artists and learn about art.
She also had the chance to view artwork on display and learned about the outreach programmes for young people across the country.
Kate attended alongside other high-profile guests including Princess Beatrice and her boyfriend, Edoardo Mapelli Mozi, Lord Snowdon, David and Victoria Beckham, Liam Payne, and supermodels Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Bianca Jagger.

The National Portrait Gallery has hosted a gala every few years since its 150th anniversary in 2006. Since Kate became its patron in 2012, she has attended every gala: in 2014 and 2017. Previous galas were held in 2006 and 2009.
Kate’s first official royal portrait hangs in the National Portrait Gallery, and she has also contributed to an exhibition, ‘Victorian Giants: The Birth of Art Photography’, where she wrote the programme’s foreword and captions for the photos on display.

Colorado Springs, COLORADO, August 1, 2018—The National Swimming Pool Foundation® (NSPF®), a Colorado Springs non-profit organization, has released a position statement recommending that all state, territory, and local health departments; aquatic facilities; and the industry at large evaluate and adopt all or part of the Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC), with the objective of protecting the future of aquatic facilities and their staff and patrons.
The nation's only all-inclusive model pool code, the MAHC is based on scientific data and best practices gathered by public health and aquatics industry experts, making it more expedient for jurisdictions to justify, adopt, and implement. Unlike legislation, the MAHC is voluntarily adopted, wholly or in part, and driven by expertise. It is free, publicly accessible, and backed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as endorsed by the Commercial Energy Specialists (CES), Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), National Association of County & City Health Officials (NACCHO), and National Environmental Health Association (NEHA).
While helpful, the more than 85 environmental health codes relative to the design, construction, and operation of public swimming pools offer no cohesive national public health standard and potentially thwart public health efforts. NSPF’s endorsement proceeds from the rationale that “The current redundant system of updating, maintaining, administering, and enforcing local swimming pool and spa code represents waste of government resources, misuse of taxpayer dollars, and misguided efforts of the facilities, manufacturers, designers, builders, and suppliers engaged in updating and complying with inconsistent codes,” says Thomas M. Lachocki, Ph.D., NSPF CEO.
The CDC reports a staggering 493 outbreaks associated with treated recreational water in 46 U.S. states and Puerto Rico from 2000–2014. Yearly, approximately 200,000 individuals seek emergency care for injuries associated with swimming pools, and nearly 700 experience fatal drowning in the U.S. alone. Additionally, a five-state study of inspection data showed that 12.3% of routine inspections resulted in immediate closure due to violations seriously threatening public health. Without adoption of a uniform code, dissimilar codes proliferate, while recreational water illness and drowning rates remain tragically high.
The CMAHC is currently seeking members and sponsors to help continue to move the MAHC forward and support adoption. Volunteers are also needed to fill vital roles in the proposed submission review and discussion process. To participate in future CMAHC conferences, and to join or renew your CMAHC membership, please visit cmahc.org or email Susan Wichmann.

Nagomi Style Café is a manga kissa, which is like a cross between an internet café and inexpensive lodging, both of which you’d want to visit on your next trip to Akihabara. You can relax in one for a couple hours, or a couple days at a very inexpensive rate while using the PCs in each room and reading manga (hence the manga kissa). They are especially useful when you’re on a budget or missed the last train home and don’t want to pay copious amounts to a taxi driver. What Nagomi Style Café has done is to blend that very modern concept with Japanese tradition, particularly in the style of the old capital of Kyoto.
Nagomi Style Café is located on the outskirts of Akiba right outside of Suehirocho station. Most of the action in Akihabara happens in the area between Suehirocho Station and Akihabara station, so it puts you in a convenient location. As the café is on floor B1 of the building, it is nice and quiet, which is perfect for relaxing. Heading down the stairs is almost like slipping into the past, especially once you slide open the heavy, ornate door.
Once inside you’ll immediately notice a display for the Nagomi Chaya Musume girls group. This is an idol group of the girls that work at the café who sing wonderful traditional Japanese songs as well as host internet shows and many other activities. More than likely one of them will be there at the register to check you in. Make sure you either have your passport or residence card with you as you’ll need it for ID. Once you have picked your room you’ll cross over a beautiful rock garden and traditional display before heading into the main area where your room will be located.
There are many different types of rooms available with soft tatami mats, from single, to double, to the large party room in the back, so no matter how many people you’re with, you’ll be able to find the right spot for you. Each room has a nice computer with high-speed internet and you can also borrow items like game controllers, blankets, cushions, chargers, and more from the front desk. You can also buy articles of clothing or CDs, USB drives, and more.
Nagomi Style Café has all sorts of things to keep you entertained as you relax from the craziness of Akihabara. From magazines and comics, to movie services and online games, you’ll be able to pass the time leisurely like you would at home. If you’d like, you can also get all the drinks you want from the drink bar, order food, bring in food from outside, use a scanner and copier, or even take a shower! There is also a travelling fortune teller who comes once a month who might give you a few tips on what’s been weighing on your mind.
Nagomi Style Café is one of the nicest manga kissa I’ve been to with its very pleasant atmosphere and fabulous location. The staff are very friendly and there are plenty of ways to spend your time. Lots of people come and visit Akihabara and have trouble finding places to stay, but most people don’t know about this little gem, so now you’re in the know!


Sefer ha-Razim (the Book of Mysteries) is the earliest Jewish magical treatise known to us. It was composed in fine Hebrew, probably in Egypt or Palestine, during the second third of the first millennium.
The Book of Mysteries takes the listeners on a journey of divine revelation through ancient Scriptures, the laws of creation, the deep of God's word, the hidden streams of history, the most important keys of spiritual truth, end-time mysteries, and the secrets of life.

London university to host anti-gay extremist Islamic preacher
Brunel University in Uxbridge, west London, has been criticised for allowing a cleric who supports the killing of gay people to attend a student event.
Abu Usamah at-Thahabi is due to make a speech on campus at Brunel’s Islamic Society on Tuesday 27 November.
His extreme views have already been documented in a Channel 4 programme and by the Centre for Social Cohesion.
Thahabi previously urged that gay people should be punished with death.
“Do you practice homosexuality with men? Take that homosexual man and throw him off the mountain,” Thahabi was recorded as saying in the Dispatches programme.
“If I were to call homosexuals perverted, dirty, filthy dogs who should be murdered, that’s my freedom of speech, isn’t it?”
The controversial preacher was caught on camera addressing worshippers at Green Lane Mosque in Birmingham.
He also mocked Western attitudes towards women and attacked Christians and Jews.
Following the broadcast, Thahabi was interviewed by Channel 4 News, where he refused to reject the comments.
Earlier this year, the cleric was prevented from speaking at the University of Warwick’s Islamic Society, following a backlash by students.
Anti-extremist campaign group Student Rights has called on Brunel University to review its decision to allow Thahabi on its premises.
In a statement the university said:
“The talk is going ahead as we have a legal duty to protect freedom of speech and we have asked for assurances from the Union of Brunel Students that this person will not breach the policies of the university, such as those on equality and diversity.
“However, if we are concerned that these policies will be breached, the event will not be allowed to take place.”

In theory, once a provider achieves Meaningful Use and picks up their first check, one might think that they’re on board and ready to power through the program. Well, think again.

According to a piece published in HIT Consultant, 17 percent of providers who got an $18,000 EMR check in 2011 didn’t get the second $12,000 incentive payout in 2012. The stats come from a recently published analysis of the federal April EMR attestation data crunched by Wells Fargo.

What that means, in real terms, is that 17 percent of providers were able to demonstrate MU for the 90 days required in 2011 but couldn’t keep things up for the full year required for to get the second check, notes Evan Steele, CEO of EMR firm SRSsoft, who authored the article.

You’d think that providers could have demonstrated a year’s compliance, given that after 90 days they already had the needed workflows in place to support those requirements, but for nearly 20 percent of providers, it seems that simply wasn’t the case, Steele says. And this is very bad news, he suggests:

A 17% loss rate in any business is wholly unacceptable, and this failure does not portend well for the future of the EHR Incentive Program. If $12,000 proved to be insufficient motivation for physicians with meaningful use experience to meet the relatively low requirements of Stage 1 on an ongoing basis, it would be foolish to expect physicians to muster the wherewithal to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of Stage 2. The incentive for a year’s performance at that point will be a mere $4,000.

Thinking that perhaps the 17 percent dropoff trend will correct itself as time passes? Probably not. As Steele points out, another survey recently found that 14 percent of physicians who attested to Stage 1 already say that they don’t intent to attest to Stage 2.

As Steele sees it, this is evidence that we need to simplify Meaningful Use rather than making it increasingly complex, while focusing on interoperability across the entire healthcare system. In his view, if we don’t “the entire program will go down the drain.”

I don’t know if these numbers are evidence that Meaningful Use is on the skids, but a 17 percent dropoff is certainly troubling. Clearly something must be done to reach out to providers who’ve climbed off the train.

Keith,
Interesting post on the topic. The real challenge in any of these discussions is “what is the purpose of meaningful use?” The problem I’ve always had is that everyone has made their own interpretation of what they thought meaningful use and the EHR incentive money is meant to accomplish. If there’s no goal for MU, then it’s hard to say if the failure is a good or a bad thing.

What might account for part of this trend is that hospitals/health care entities are now beginning to merge, and some are going under or likely to do so. Also, there seems to be an undercurrent of “this wasn’t really going to happen.”

In my opinion,it comes down to what are the executive management’s expectations for their EHR software? If the software vendor has communicated to them that they will automatically achieve attestation by using their solution, it is setting that healthcare organization up for failure. In the majority of cases (and most likely the reason for the high percentage of failure)is that hospital’s and healthcare systems alike do not have the ability to (in addition to their EHR) ensure proper compliance after the initial implementation, nor do they have the proper documentation available to support their claims for meaningful use. In the event of an audit by Figliozzi and Co., the hospital must have the proper supporting documentation so they can clearly support MU claims. The EHR is only one piece of the equation, and in most cases does not provide the correct resources to endure a MU audit.

Kip,
I think you’re partially missing the point of the drop out rate. What you say is true and we see that in healthcare. However, in this case they’ve successfully attested to MU and then they choose not to do it the next year. That’s quite different than someone who can’t attest the first time because of not having the ability to show proper compliance. In most of these cases they could have complied, but chose not to for some reason.

Thanks for the clarification on that John. While I do understand that they may have already initially attested for MU, the point I was trying to drive home (that you mention above) is that attestation isn’t a one time ordeal. I’m seeing other articles from providers wondering if the government is intentionally created the MU criteria to be so difficult that it is forcing doctors into ACO’s. While I personally don’t think that is the case, is it possible that the dropout rate we are discussing has more to do with maintaining that status for future payments as well? In the event of an audit, is the hospital able to pull together the resources and documentation to support their future claims for attestation? Or, is it such a difficult task for those 17% that they simply just dropped out? It may just a coincidence, but the dropout rate is right around the same rate of hospitals audited. While I agree, not every hospital audited is going to drop out and there are other circumstances that might cause them to do so. However, it would be interesting to see if there is a correlation with regard to audit/dropout rates and it’s future affect on an HC organization with regard to their use of EHRs.

MOTHERING Sunday: the day servant girls used to be given the day off to take their mothers a lovingly baked cake.

Hah! I should be so lucky. Not that my daughter could be called a servant girl - she's got a daughter of her own to do the dusting - but she does make a fluffier Victoria sponge than I've ever been able to achieve.

How she learned that particular skill I have no idea; I have no recollection of actually teaching her to cook anything.

In fact I don't think I set out to teach her very much at all apart from how to dress herself and ride a bike - though according to her selective memory she still insists it was her father who ran behind clutching the back of her saddle, and she had to teach herself how to put clothes on in the right order because her brothers demanded all my attention.

However, despite my failure as the perfect mum, she travelled miles yesterday to deliver flowers, soppy card and a cuddle - and not just because her brothers couldn't come.

Motherhood is not easy. These helpless little creatures don't pop out of the womb clutching an instruction book, and if they did we wouldn't have time to read it.

Once we've recovered from the wonderment (and relief) at our cleverness by producing this new human being, enveloped by love deeper than you've ever known before, reality sets in.

Mothers and daughters have an uncanny way of annoying each other I've found; and that's not just me. All my friends with daughters say the same. It's been said there is no bond stronger than that between a mother and daughter but I could argue I'm extremely close to both my sons - it's just different that's all.

Mother love doesn't distinguish between sons and daughters. It's sacrifice (not a virtue because we enjoy it), devotion, affection and from time to time the urge to throttle one of them. The only difference being, the daughter will want to throttle you back. Sons can't be bothered. It's easier to clear off and let mum and sister have a row.

I do occasionally wonder if I could have been a better mum. I watch daughter with her nine year-old, teaching her to make cakes, iron a T-shirt, dust a room, plant seeds, knit, sew, make a bird box and paint it any colour she could find in the garage without making a fuss about the mess. And then nailing it on the fence without standing by with bandages.

My granddaughter knows every fact of life in details I didn't discover until I was experiencing them - daughter enjoys informing me it was the same for her. In fact she delights in telling me she's only learned to be a perfect mother by my mistakes.

No child needs a perfect mother. Anyway, as her child will tell her one day, as I predict she will, there's no such thing. We simply do our best. Keep them warm, well fed, praising effort as well as success, occasionally saying "that was a silly thing to do" rather than "you're stupid" and making sure they know you love them to bits - whatever.

All a mum needs is to make her offspring the happiest and best loved in the world.

My mothering sons day had to be done from a distance - but daughter was here with her flowers, soppy card and a tight cuddle - and, surprise surprise - a cake.


Sound Transit and the City of Seattle have agreed to jointly study transit improvements between downtown Seattle and Ballard. The Sound Transit Board today approved moving forward with the partnership.
The goals of the study are twofold: supporting future Sound Transit Board discussions on long-range plans for future high-capacity transit options and supporting the City of Seattle's work to update its Transit Master Plan and expand the city's streetcar network.
"Sound Transit is laying the groundwork throughout the region to help provide connections that get people where they need to go," said Sound Transit Board Chair and Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy.
"Our partnership with Sound Transit is a great example of our collaborative work to better connect Seattle neighborhoods with rail transit," said Sound Transit Board member and Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn. "I thank the Sound Transit Board for voting to support this important effort and I look forward to continuing to fund transit expansion in Seattle."
The study will provide the Board with information to update the agency's long-range plans for potential high-capacity transit expansions. This portion of the study will narrow the range of potential services and evaluate routes and station locations for potential high-capacity transit expansions. Sound Transit will contribute up to $2 million for its portion of the study.
By state law, Sound Transit high-capacity transit services must operate principally in exclusive rights of way.
The voter-approved Sound Transit 2 plan included studying potential high-capacity transit improvements in nine corridors, including Ballard to downtown Seattle. The Ballard to Downtown Seattle corridor is identified in the Sound Transit Long Range Plan as a potential rail extension.
These corridor studies will help inform the Sound Transit Board as it updates the agency's Long-Range Plan for regional mass transit priorities and potential inclusion in a future public vote to expand the regional mass transit system - ST3. The Board has made no decisions on the timing or content of an ST3 ballot measure.
The Ballard - Downtown Seattle study is scheduled to begin in early 2013 and be complete by mid-2014.
The study will also help update Seattle's Transit Master Plan, which seeks to expand the city's streetcar network. The City will contribute up to $800,000 to study potential "rapid streetcar" service along the corridor.
Sound Transit and the City agreed to combine the work to be able to better coordinate transit options and to maximize available funding.


The High Cost of Current FDA Drug Review Policies

On average, it takes 466 days for a new drug to be approved for marketing by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Pharmaceutical companies respond to the regulatory delay by bringing fewer new drugs to the market. A three-month delay in drug marketing is associated with one fewer drug in development for that disease category. This phenomenon means not only that the public receives potentially life-saving treatments later, but also that, under current policies, some drugs are never going to be developed.

While the FDA performs an important social function of assessing new drugs’ safety and efficacy, its lengthy review process is costing patient lives. This is only part of the story, though. It is not even clear that FDA review is a high-level guarantee of safety.

We outline these issues in more detail and present two politically feasible solutions: improving drug review transparency and implementing postlaunch monitoring.

Drug Approval Process: Background and Changes

The modern era of pharmaceutical R&D regulation began in 1962 with the Kefauver-Harris Amendment to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The amendment required premarket approval of all drugs by the FDA, which was intended to ensure that new drugs met safety and efficacy standards. The direct outcomes of the amendment were longer approval times and higher premarketing costs of drug development.

The drug development process is a costly endeavor. After discovering a new drug, the investor proceeds with required preclinical trials (animal testing that lasts up to six years). Following promising results from these trials, the manufacturer may submit an Investigational New Drug Application (INDA) to the FDA. Upon approval, the next phase of R&D involves clinical trials on humans, adding on average another decade to the process. After human trials, the drug producer may apply for approval by the FDA to sell the drug; even after more than a decade of R&D, the FDA takes on average more than a year to complete this approval process. Aside from the significant time costs associated with this process, it also involves over $1.1 billion in monetary costs and the dynamic cost of fewer drugs being developed in the future owing to these obstacles.

Facing Tradeoffs

Balancing public health and safety with timely access to the benefits of innovation and R&D activity is a delicate task. If the FDA takes a strict stance on standards for approving new drugs, patients may be unnecessarily deprived of helpful treatments in the short run and receive fewer novel drugs in the future. On the other hand, if the FDA is not stringent enough, unsafe or ineffective drugs may enter the market and result in fatalities.

One only has to consider the lifespan of the drug Vioxx to understand the serious ramifications of the FDA drug approval process. Introduced in 1999 as a treatment for osteoarthritis pain, Vioxx was approved by the FDA. However, the drug was later found to significantly increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. Vioxx has since caused over 100,000 heart attacks and strokes in Americans. The prelaunch studies by Merck, the drug’s producer, did little to evaluate the cardiovascular effects of the drug despite certain researchers’ concerns over the issue. The magnitude of Vioxx’s impact has led to it being described as the “single greatest drug safety catastrophe in the history of this country” by Dr. David Graham of the FDA. Merck eventually withdrew Vioxx from the market in 2004 and has since settled the 30,000 lawsuits it faced for $4.85 billion. This issue demonstrates that FDA approval of new drugs does not automatically equate to safety, regardless of how long the review takes.

The FDA Regulatory Process Reduces Welfare and Drives Up Costs

Over time, policies have changed. Studies have found that increased review time is costly and welfare reducing, while reductions in review time benefit consumers, producers, and society as a whole.

Specifically, the Kefauver-Harris Amendment’s efficacy standard reduced pharmaceutical innovation, and its cost to consumers is greater than the benefit they receive from FDA efforts to prevent ineffective drugs from entering the market. By contrast, the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) decreased review time. The benefits of decreased FDA review time are widespread. Studies find that net benefits to consumers increases. Patients have access to beneficial drugs sooner. Since pharmaceutical companies also benefit, future R&D will be encouraged, leading to the production of even more new drugs, which then further increases benefits to consumers.

Proposed Policy Solutions: Postlaunch Monitoring and Improved Transparency

The FDA approval process requires a significant investment by pharmaceutical companies to bring new drugs to market. The negative relationship between R&D by these companies and FDA approval time implies that firms are sensitive to the regulatory delay. It is important for the efficiency of the FDA approval process to be considered in policy discussions. Since 2009, FDA drug approval times have steadily decreased, but this decrease varies by drug category. Correspondingly, the number of new drugs submitted to the FDA has increased: in 2013, 5,400 new products were submitted, while 6,300 new products were submitted in 2016.

Shortening FDA review does not imply less review overall. Instead, an alternate approach to the current process would involve postlaunch monitoring, allowing the FDA to continue to monitor safety after approving new drugs. Preclinical trials are limited in that they necessarily involve relatively smaller populations, so postlaunch monitoring can reveal better information. In the age of big data, one could use a variety of medical records to detect even minor side effects promptly. This monitoring thus appears to be a crucial step to verify that safety and efficacy standards are met by all new drugs. It can also serve the purpose of enabling the FDA to reduce its premarket review time, leading to increased innovation by manufacturers and an increase in overall social welfare. This reduced premarket review time also results in people receiving potentially lifesaving treatment more quickly.

The recent shortening of review time can in part be attributed to an increased use of postlaunch monitoring by the FDA. There are already multiple postlaunch programs in use, such as the Sentinel Initiative, which has monitored “the safety of its regulated products” since 2008, and MedWatch, which allows for users of FDA-approved products to report adverse effects to the FDA. Additionally, the FDA has postlaunch monitoring of drugs’ efficacy as well, such as through the Therapeutic Inequivalence Action Coordinating Committee (TIACC), which reviews reports of “drug products that fail to work in patients because the product simply has no effect or is toxic.” Products such as Vioxx reveal that postlaunch review is crucial in monitoring drug safety and efficacy, so why not incorporate this further into the review process?

In addition to using postlaunch monitoring to reduce review time, the FDA should improve transparency to the public. Specifically, the FDA should provide information on drugs that were not approved, instead of releasing information on only approved drugs. This is important because, although the agency is held accountable for approving drugs’ safety to prevent direct harm or death, it receives little public scrutiny for the indirect harm or death that occurs from patients having to wait too long during the lengthy review process. This lack of transparency prevents both drug manufacturers and the public from truly understanding the dynamics behind closed doors.

Motor vehicle accidents involving kids are especially tragic | The Law Offices of Millon & Peskin, Ltd.
On behalf of The Law Offices of Millon & Peskin, Ltd. posted in Motor Vehicle Accidents on Tuesday, March 5, 2019.
Chicago police often engage chase tactics if drivers attempt to the flee the scene of a traffic stop. High-speed chases are definitely dangerous for all involved, as well as any nearby motorist or pedestrian. Motor vehicle accidents often occur during police chases, as one recently did in Illinois that resulted in a child fatality and injuries to numerous others.
The incident reportedly began when police attempted to pull over a car driven by a 21-year-old man. He was carrying several occupants in his vehicle, including a 2-year-old child. Police say the man hit the gas pedal and fled the scene; after that, a chase ensued.
The young man's vehicle crashed into another car. The sudden impact sent the suspect's vehicle off the road where a second collision occurred as it smashed into a tree. Numerous people suffered injuries in both vehicles. Sadly, the toddler was ejected from the vehicle and did not survive her injuries. Police say there is evidence that the child was not properly restrained in a car seat when the accident happened.
The driver of the fleeing vehicle was arrested. Illinois motor vehicle accidents like this one often lead to criminal charges and traffic citations. Victims who survive their injuries are able to file personal injury claims against negligent or reckless drivers. No information was provided in this particular case as to whether or not the fatally injured child was related to the driver. In many situations, there are grounds for parents or legal guardians of deceased children to file wrongful death claims against those who caused their deaths.

Debt Transparency
Town of Westlake Receives Texas Comptroller's Transparency Star Award For Its Debt Obligations Information
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts in 2016 launched the Transparency Stars program, recognizing local governments for going above and beyond in their transparency efforts. Opening financial books to the public, providing clear and consistent pictures of spending, and sharing information for taxpayers in a user-friendly format are some of the reasons the Town of Westlake was one of the first 12 cities to recently earn the prestigious 2017 Texas Comptroller’s Transparency Star for Debt Obligations Reporting!
The program recognizes government entities that accomplish the following:
Opening their books not only in their traditional finances, but also in the areas of contracts and procurement, economic development, public pensions and debt obligations.
Providing clear and meaningful financial information not only by posting financial documents, but also through summaries, visualizations, downloadable data and other relevant information.
Congratulations to Jaymi Ford; Finance Supervisor and Melinda Brown; Accounting Technician II for preparing this award-winning website for the Town of Westlake!
As part of our continuing commitment to transparency and accountability to our community, the Town of Westlake is maintaining summary information about its outstanding long-term debt.
Outstanding debt is comprised of direct obligations and contractually obligated debt from other entities. Direct obligations consist of debt issued by the Town and secured by levied taxes or Town revenues. Contractually Obligated Debt is debt issued by other Entities that the Town is obligated to pay and calculated in accordance to contractual provisions.
1. Debt Obligation Summary
The following summary data is from the Government-Wide Statement of Activities in the Town's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
The Town of Westlake strives to place an emphasis on transparency. it is our commitment that the Town's Debt Obligation information is readily accessible and available for our citizens. The Town has opened their books to the public while providing clear, consistent pictures of spending and sharing information in a user-friendly format that lets taxpayers easily drill down for more detail. Citizen involvement, transparency and fiscal responsibility are the cornerstones of the Town of Westlake's Finance Department.
The Town of Westlake holds an AAA/stable bond rating from Standard & Poor's. Their assessment reflects the Town's historically strong finances and management, fund reserves in excess of 50% of General Fund expenditures, and Westlake's participation in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area economy.

7. List of Debt Service Payments (Tax/Revenue Supported)
8. List of All Outstanding Debt
General obligations bonds (GO bonds for short) are debt instruments issued by state and local governments to provide funds for the acquisition and construction of major capital equipment and facilities and serve as a tool to raise funds for projects that will not provide direct sources of revenues (roads and bridges, parks and equipment, etc.). General obligation bonds are unique in that they are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuer, including the power of the municipality to tax its citizens. The ability to back up bond payments with tax funds is what makes GO bonds distinct from revenue bonds, which are repaid using the revenue generated by the specific projects the bonds are issued to fund. General obligation bonds must be approved by vote of the general population prior to issuance and require the City to compute, at the time other taxes are levied, the rate of tax required to provide (in each year bonds are outstanding) a fund to pay interest and principal at maturity.
Certificates of Obligation
Certificates of obligation are grequently used to fund capital improvements not anticipated at the time of the latest bond election and are generally short-term in nature. Certificates of obligation allow certain cities, counties and hospital or health districts to issue debt without voter approval (unless a referendum is petitioned) and are backed by the tax revenue, fee revenue, or a combination of the two.

“Eva Ste. Wendell” has EXCELLENT sweet flavor, initially balanced with acid and then gets sweeter the longer it stays in the mouth. She produces perfect pink globes, maintaining a ladylike growth habit initially; but once she starts bearing, she wants to continue even when other varieties have pooped out. There is great flesh texture (not too firm or too soft) and juiciness.
Eva Ste. Wendell is a line developed by Mr. Bill Jeffers, of Evansville, Indiana. Mr. Jeffers reports that the original cross was done by Keith Mueller of KCMO for and at the request of Darrel Jones of Alabama. According to Mr. Jeffers, the original cross was Big Beef x Eva's Purple Ball, with the intent to create an Eva Purple Ball-type tomato with improved disease resistance.


Only a stone’s throw from the national capital of Washington DC, Bethesda is one of America’s most liveable cities, according to Forbes magazine. This small yet wealthy Maryland community is also a great place to enjoy top culinary experiences, from French and Lebanese to Iranian or Italian. We’ve updated our guide to Bethesda dining to make sure you don’t miss the top 10 spots in this vibrant city.
Named after the ancient masterpiece from Baalbeck, Bacchus of Lebanon brings more exotic culinary temptations to Bethesda. Very popular among both tourists and locals and famous for offering some of the best Lebanese dishes in town, the restaurant is definitely a treat for anyone wishing to take a break from an all-American diet. The menu highlights the typical tastes of Lebanon: olive oil, garlic, lemon, nutmeg, cinnamon and parsley, and includes the well-known shawarma, falafel, kebab, stuffed vine leaves, moussakas and, of course, the extremely sweet and tasty baklava for dessert.
Established more than 40 years ago, in 1961, the Bethesda Crab House is a culinary institution and one of the oldest eating venues in town. A family business since it’s doors first opened, the Crab House is one of the best seafood places around, luring visitors with platters of crab cakes, served with corn, tartar sauce and a sweet and spicy cocktail sauce. Specialties include raw oysters, snow crabs or king crab legs, with a special offer available for the hungriest of guests: all-you-can-eat crabs at a fair market price.
A winner of TripAdvisor’s ‘Certificate of Excellence’, Chef Tony’s is a central restaurant specialized in seafood, Mediterranean food and tapas. Working with local and artisanal producers, Chef Tony’s aims to ‘deliver food that nurtures, delights and reminds people that life is short and to enjoy a great meal more often’. The menu highlights fresh local products and is an irresistible temptation for anyone who enjoys shrimps, crabs, catfish, lobsters, oysters, paella, zucchini or goat cheese as main ingredients. The restaurant also proposes a six-course tasting menu that includes the very best from Mediterranean cuisine.
One of Bethesda’s hidden gems, the local family-owned restaurant Guardado’s is the perfect place to savour the tastes of Spanish and Latin America gastronomic traditions.

Faithful to its background, Guardado’s celebrates ‘Hispanic Heritage Month’ between September and October with a special menu that includes black bean soup, tapas, tilapia and shrimp with rice and string beans, lomo salteado and tres leches cake, flan or deep- fried plantain for dessert.
Kabob Bazar has been serving the best Iranian food in Bethesda for more than 20 years. Opened in 1993, the restaurant is the right place to explore Persian culinary heritage: with a décor that highlights traditional objects, including samovars – traditional tea pots – and instrumental Iranian music playing softly in the background, Kabob Bazar is not to be missed. The menu offers also low carb fish-based options besides its more famous beef, lamb and chicken kabobs.
An incredibly romantic spot, Le Vieux Logis is a family downtown restaurant that brings to Bethesda the charm and flavours of the Champagne region of France. Its highly-experienced French Chef Christian Gautrois creates true culinary wonders and proposes a menu that offers both the French classics and local seasonal specialities. It includes their personalised interpretation of the traditional French duck with orange, roasted salmon in potato crust, pan- seared sea scallops, roasted shrimps, crème brulee or berry salad with cherry sorbet and vanilla madeleine for dessert.

After almost four decades, the restaurant is still a local favourite. Open each day of the week, all weeks of the year, Positano offers the very best home-made version of Italy’s most famous dishes: mozzarella caprese, fried eggplant bruschetta, lasagne bolognese, eggplant parmigiana, fish soup, veal parmigiana, osso bucco, tiramisu or cannoli alla siciliana.
Founded in 1998 by a Bethesda chef, Persimmon American Bistro is the perfect place to get the feeling of an authentic local restaurant. Awarded with Trip Advisor’s ‘Certificate of Excellence’ in 2014, Persimmon features a contemporary menu well-matched by a refined list of wines, with specials from California, France, Italy and Chile. The dishes include steamed Prince Edward Island mussels with frites; pan seared sea scallops with orange, radish, fennel and arugula salad; sautéed jumbo lump crab cakes; pecan-crusted barbecued lamb with mustard potato gratin or warm apple cinnamon empanada for dessert.
Raku Asian Dining is all about Asian style dining, sushi and sake, and is therefore a true treat for Eastern cuisine enthusiasts. The bento boxes deliver the best value for money, offering a selection of teriyaki-marinated meats with rice or noodles. Nonetheless, the menu proposes a wide variety of choices, with a la carte fresh sushi as the main attraction, and both warm and cool sake options.


In LASIK surgery, a precise and controlled removal of corneal tissue by a special laser, reshapes the cornea changing its focusing power. LASIK is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, by using an excimer laser. The lasik flap is created using a highly sophisticated and accurate instrument known as a "microkeratome", to create a flap in the cornea. A hinge is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded back revealing the stroma, the middle section of the cornea. Pulses from a computer-controlled laser vaporize a portion of the stroma and the flap is replaced.

These same two screws are not mentioned in the parts list in the June issue. Battery-Pack Cell Balancer, March 2016: there is a risk of damage to IC1 and IC2 when batteries with many cells are initially plugged in. Two small (¼W) 10kW through-hole resistors can be added to solve this. Solder them between pin 2 and pin 15 of both IC1 and IC2. These pins are adjacent but on opposite sides of the IC packages. The resistor bodies will need to be kept close to the ICs to avoid interfering with the battery header (CON1). Alternatively, they can be soldered from pin 15 of IC3 to ground (pin 20), and the other from pin 16 of IC3 to ground. WiFi Water Tank Level Meter, February 2018: the WeMos D1 R2 board we used in this project was actually a clone made by Robotdyn; the original D1 R2 does not have a connection for an external antenna. The boards in our shop (Cat SC4414) are the same as the board shown in the article. 6-Element VHF TV Yagi Antenna, February 2018: a photo caption on page 40 says that the dipole ends are made using 39mm lengths of aluminium tubing but they are closer to 30mm; refer to Fig.1 on page 39 which correctly shows the distance between the semicircular cut-outs at each end as 27mm. AM Radio Transmitter, March 2018: the circuit diagram on page 67 (Fig.2) shows the 10nF antenna coupling capacitor connected to the wrong end of antenna coil L1. Also, Mosfet Q3 has the wrong part number in the parts list. It should be IPP80P03P4L04, as in the circuit and overlay diagrams. The Clayton’s “GPS” Time Signal Generator, April 2018: the parts list gave an incorrect Jaycar part number for the D1 Mini ESP8266 module. It should be XC3802. 104 Silicon Chip Celebrating 30 Years siliconchip.com.au


, where , boundary of the cube , outward pointing normal.
How can I solve the integral with singularity at endpoint?
Is there a solution for this integral?
What have you tried so far? and where did you get stuck?
Because the cube has "edges" and is not smooth, do each of the six faces separately.
1) On the face x= 0, the unit normal is <-1, 0, 0>, on the face x= 3 the unit normal is <1, 0, 0>, and F has 0 x-component so those integrals are 0.
2) On the face y= 0, the unit normal is <0, -1, 0>, on the face y= 3 the unit normal is <0, 1, 0>, and F has 0 y-component so those integrals are 0.


This report is aimed to present the achievements obtained with the development of a prototype of Architectural DIGITAL PORTFOLIO, this work represents an original integral proposal with a strategy of production of the information. The analysis the edition processes for the architectural graphic representation used in the DIGITAL PORTFOLIO will be mainly dealt with. In addition a brief exhibition of the work will be presented, showing the different edition types, common files formats, conversion filters, programs, detected errors, as well as some other relevant aspects.
