Could The Queen Be Stranger Than Fiction?
I'm thinking the Queen of England could possibly be stranger than fiction. That's my conclusion after seeing "The Queen" and "Stranger Than Fiction" in theaters this past weekend.
"The Queen" is a fictionalized account of real events that took place after the death of Princess Diana in August, 1997. "Stranger Than Fiction" is a dramedy in which Will Ferrell plays the very-much-alive main character in a successful author's latest tragedy (or comedy ... you'll have to wait 'til the end) which is still being written as he's living out his life. It's quite a clever concept for a movie.
"The Queen" is not quite as clever, however, even though it's billed as a "revealing, witty" portrait. I suppose it did reveal what someone thought might have been said behind closed doors during the days between Lady Di's death and her funeral. But "witty" ... well, I didn't find too much wit in there to munch on. Moreso, I found it quite sad. I kept wondering if the British royals are really as cold and unemotional as they were portrayed. The Queen seemed to be so out of touch with reality and feelings. And just people in general.
Whatever the truth may be, I do know that Helen Mirren certainly knocked my socks off as the Queen of E and will most definitely get an Oscar nod. Michael Sheen, as Prime Minister Tony Blair, also deserves kudos for his convincing, youthful take.
Meanwhile ... back at the "Who Knew?" ranch, Will Ferrell is to be commended for his subtle, straight-man approach in "Stranger Than Fiction." The rest of the casting is equally brilliant. Dustin Hoffman shines as the nutty, barefoot lit professor, while Emma Thompson is fantastic as the kooky, confused author. Also, Queen Latifah plays a convincing, no-nonsense editorial assistant, and Maggie Gyllenhaal seems very well suited for her turn as a hippie baker (she does the best yelling of "tax mannnnnnnnn!" that I've heard in a while). Although relatively clean by today's standards, "Fiction" still has objectionable content, so don't haul off and take the kiddos.
All in all, it was kind of an odd way to cinematically bookend my weekend, starting with a "Queen" and ending with some "Fiction." But I guess stranger things have happened. ...

No. 39 April Term, 1977, Appeal from the Order of Court Entered July 23, 1976 of the Court of Common Pleas of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, Civil Action -- Equity at No. 76-15 EQU.
Robert D. Douglass, Indiana, for appellants.
Charles C. Brown, Jr., State College, with him McQuaide, Blasko & Brown, State College, for appellees.
Watkins, President Judge, and Jacobs, Hoffman, Cercone, Price and Spaeth, JJ. Hoffman and Spaeth, JJ., dissent. Watkins, former President Judge, and Van der Voort, J., did not participate in the consideration or decision of this case.
[ 254 Pa. Super. Page 113]
This is an appeal from the order of the Court of Common Pleas sitting in equity making permanent a preliminary injunction restraining the construction of a "Pizza Hut".
The Borough of Clearfield, the County seat of Clearfield County, has a population of about 9000 people and is entirely surrounded by Lawrence Township. Pennsylvania Route 879 passes through the Borough in a westwardly direction through a residential area known as the "Old Town Road" section. The residential area is located primarily within the Borough although its western boundaries are within Lawrence Township. The court below stated: "This area has for many years been recognized as one of the most desirable single family residential areas Clearfield has to offer."
The court below further describes the area as follows: "Immediately to its west along Route 879 commercial establishments have grown over the years to the extent that, with but few exceptions, from the western boundary of the residential area the use of the real estate is commercial. The boundary between the "Old Town Road" section and the commercial section is clearly delineated. To the east, contained within the residential area are large, very desirable single family units and to the west, the commercial enterprises mentioned above, including fast food establishments, known as "McDonald's" and "Winky's".
The property that is the basis of this appeal is located within the residential area but abuts the beginning of the western commercial area. This was a dwelling and the property was purchased by the appellants for the purpose of removing the existing residence and the construction of a
[ 254 Pa. Super. Page 114]
"Pizza Hut" restaurant which clearly would be an extension of the commercial character of the area.
The testimony shows that the "Pizza Hut" will be constructed in such a manner that it would be surrounded by a parking area and in addition to the service of food in the restaurant and for taking out provides for the sale of beer and wine. Immediately across the street from the site in question is a Children's Home which houses fifteen children and has been in existence for many years.
The area which lies within the Borough limits is zoned residential. The area in Lawrence Township where the property in question lies has not enacted a zoning ordinance. Even if approval of zoning authorities was given to the establishment it does not affect the power of a court of equity to enjoin it as a nuisance. Mazeika v. American Oil Company, 383 Pa. 191, 118 A.2d 142 (1955). The court below permitted testimony that the township was working on such an ordinance and the working maps which had been in existence since 1973 included this area as residential. The appellants complain ...

Gainesville, FL – The Saints didn't end the regular season like they would have wanted to, but Coach Nick Cheronis found enough positives to believe SF (15-10) is ready to go for the FCSAA Tournament on November 4-6 in Bradenton.
Miami Dade came out of the gates hot and controlled the pace of the match, winning the first set 25-19. They continued their impressive play in the second set, defeating Santa Fe 25-13. In the third set the Saints played much better, but still fell 25-23.
"We definitely tapped into our energy in the third set but it was a little too late," said Cheronis. "Hopefully we can carry that momentum over to the FCSAA Tournament."
The Mid-Florida Conference #3 seed Saints will battle Southern Conference champions Palm Beach State College in the first round of the FCSAA Tournament on November 4 at 1:00 PM at the Bradenton Civic Center. Santa Fe defeated the Panthers 3-0 in Gainesville on August 27. Full details and a bracket can be found here: http://thefcsaasports.com/championships/fcsaa_volleyball_tournament

I had this CD (and by CD, I probably mean tape) back around the time it came out, along with Del's debut, I Wish My Brother George Was Here. I don't know what happened to 'em. Anyway, I just re-bought this CD a few months ago. In fact, it's another one I forgot I had. But, I do, so here it is.
Now that I'm listening to it, it's coming back to me a little bit. "Wack MC's" and "Catch a Bad One" were definitely favorites from back in the day. And the title track is a slick one, too. This CD coincided with the origins of the Hieroglyphics crew, and back in '93, the sound they were whipping up was the shit: thick bass lines that the rest of the beat crowded around, and lyrical smoothness that was smart without getting into the dumb stuff.
Del's got a voice like nobody else, and I guess you either love it or hate it. I can see why people don't dig him, but it's easier for me to understand why people think he's one of the most original voices in hip hop. He's clearly a little bit unstable, or stoned all the time, or both, and it just adds to his nutty style of speak.
This is the kind of loose hip hop I love: frenetic, off-topic, but lyrically fun and always interesting.
"Catch a Bad One"

Windows Azure AppFabric Features, Queues, Topics and Subscriptions, which were in CTP for some time now have now been released. These enable new scenarios for Applications hosted on Windows Azure such as asynchronous Cloud Eventing, Event-Driven SOA, Load leveling/balancing and more.
Second Level Caching is one of the features that is not present out-of-the-box in Entity Framework. In an MSDN article “Second-Level Caching in the Entity Framework and AppFabric” Julie Lerman shows how to implement Second Level Caching with Entity Framework to take advantage of caching services like Microsoft AppFabric.
The new Read-Through and Write-Behind support in AppFabric 1.1 allow developers to improve performance while at the same time reduce the complexity of their applications. This is done by moving the logic for reading from and writing to the database into the caching server itself. Other improvements include lazy-loading of session state information and support for ASP.NET output caching.
The Azure team recently shipped a Community Preview (CTP) for AppFabric, with Service Bus Queues and Service Bus Topics, which can be leveraged in a whole new set of scenarios to build Occasionally Connected or Distributed Systems.
As of February 1st, Microsoft's public cloud offering, Windows Azure, became part of the growing cloud market as it started charging for its services. Azure is one of the first Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings to move from free, "early-adopter" to a pay-as-you-go business model. InfoQ spoke with Matt Deacon of Microsoft UK to learn more about this change and what it means for Azure users.
The Windows Azure Platform offers a wide range of storage options for unstructured, structured, and message style data. Deciding which option to use can be quite daunting, especially with the limitations of this new technology being so uncertain. This piece enumerates the storage options and discusses their basic capabilities and limitations relative to the other options available on the platform.

Electronic music, much like other genres have sub-genres like House, Hardstyle and the popular Dubstep which are all very well known in the mainstream. However many genres that electronic music branches into can’t seem to make it to the masses. Synthwave (or Retrowave, Futurestyle and Outrun), is one of those styles of music that has had a hard time becoming more noticeable, on the other hand, it’s been gaining some ground thanks to the help of it being incorporated in video games and movie soundtracks. To give an idea of what synthwave is according to Wikipedia is influenced by 1980s video games, cartoons, and sci-fi movies, and contains electronic drums and analog synthesizers that resemble the time period. So with that, I’m going to give to you the best Synthwave producers who have come out in the last eight years and since the genre is exploding there are many producers coming out at once.
Sung is your basic Snythwave artists, but what’s good about him is that he uses a lot of music from racing video games that were used in the 80s. A lot of producers in this genre having more quicker sounding songs and have several melodies playing at once. While he does have those elements in his songs he songs are on the slow side of things. Many artists find that better and that works for them and in this case, it works for him.
4. September 87
They are really great for their more melodic vibes and a lot of their songs sound like they’ve been taking out of a movie which is basically what they’re known for. The duo has an album called Act 1(Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) and it tells a story of between two lovers but I can’t give much away if because it is a movie (sort of) after all. The themes of the album are those one would find in any 80s movie like Sixteen Candles or Pretty in Pink. They would be a great jump off point if you still want to be on the safe side.
3. Jordan F
Now Jordan F is a lot lighter than most producers but that really doesn’t hurt him, in fact, it helps him to stand out more. His sound is atmospheric and almost calming that you can still dance to it. The spacey sounding songs he puts together into one album go hand in hand with the themes he tries to convey. He also uses a lot of modern electronic sounds that very few producers in the genre will use so his past and present allow him to put very interesting songs.
2. Carpenter Brut
He may as well be one of the best known and the most popular producers in the scene. When it comes to his music it’s fairly straightforward but he has a range of different styles. He can be aggressive with some heavy tracks to down to earth slow-moving songs so he has something for everyone’s palette. He’s usually playing songs that inspired heavily by 80s cartoons and anime and those have very colorful track built in already.
1. Dance with the Dead
They are very different in terms of style, not many producers use actual instruments like drums and guitars and use influences from horror movies, along with heavy metal artists who were good at the time like Metallica and smash them into what makes their sound. Dance with the Dead are very diverse much like the artists of this list but stand out with their themes, like the undead or aliens and heavy metal music. Their release B-Sides Vol. 1 presences of guitars was there and it mixed well with the 80s style music, they’ve used this real instruments makeup in the past but not as heavy as they did on this album and it pays off.
There you have it, the cream of the crop, the best that scene has to offer. Granted there are tons more but these will help you down the rabbit hole. Overall Snythwave is in a strange spot right now, on the cusp of becoming mainstreaming or it could change entirely. We’re seeing producers change their style and incorporating more influences from the present and its working for them, but not everyone is ready to leave that. If it ever becomes mainstream, more and more people will fall in love the idea of modern artists using 80s themes to make some great music.

The other day I made the best purchase of my life (okay, of the last week). I bought a thermometer that has a laser beam on it. You shoot the laser on the object and it tells you its exact temperature. It’s meant–Actually, I don’t know what it’s meant for. I bought it because our oven seems to be about 100 degrees off. Though, I got it five days ago and I haven’t used it for the oven once, but have measured the temperature of about twelve hundred other things. The coldest drinking water I’ve had was 49 degrees at this pizzeria around the corner from my house. Oh, yeah, I’ve been taking this out with me. I’ll go up to people on the street, shoot their temperature and be like, “You have a fever, you might want to take an aspirin.” I like to put on my flip flops when they’re between 68 to 71 degrees. Any colder and it stiffens my toes, any warmer and it raises my body temperature a full .4 degrees. I know this because I have a thermometer with a frickin laser on it! So, how does this relate to fantasy baseball? I was watching Justin Bour slug his 23rd homer yesterday, his 2nd of two homers in the game, and I shot his temperature. A blistering 109 degrees! Doode’s fahrenhot! Doode is straight butter that a professional hibachi chef puts on a sizzling lobster tail! Doode’s Kurt Russell in Backdraft! Yes, you should own him. In fact (Grey’s gonna say more!), you should’ve owned him for the last few months. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Late season injuries and minor league call-ups are one thing. Just not doing your job is an utter disgrace. Bruce Rondon was sent home, literally, because of lack of effort. Holy stereotypes. Because getting out of bed, traveling first class and then having to pitch one whole inning a game in the oft-chance that your team may be winning. Yeah, that sounds impossible to me to keep up with. For now the Tigers will roll with a combination of Neftali Feliz and Alex Wilson. So anyone looking for 3-4 saves til the end of the year can be rewarded with the plight of Rondon and his poor work effort. I wouldn’t expect a treasure trove of riches, the Tigers rank in the bottom five in saves, save opps., bullpen ERA, blown saves, and believe it or not, balks by the bullpen. I know that last stat is bupkiss, but when is the last time you ever read a balk stat in a reliever post? It just happened for the first time in history and I am officially placing a copyright on it. So this is the final rankings for the year for closers I will do an end of the year wrap up next week with lots of zany stuff.Please, blog, may I have some more?
From Koji to Ross… Sounds like a bullpen whirlwind in the shade of a Justin-to-Kelly type scenario. Have things goten so bad north of me… NJ… that they are just trouncing anyone out there. Any retreads? Well, it’s full on guess mode at the late stages of the season for the B0-Sawx. If you are really scraping for saves this late in the game, than you my friend are a desperate man in search of desperation and regret. The Red Sox as a team are near the bottom in blown saves, bullpen ERA and basically look drab and beaten down. The only good news there is I think the Bruins start soon and Papi is chasing 500. Listen, I get that you play to the end of the season, but is Robbie Ross really the direction you want to go to when the end is near? Do yourself a favor, add a quality non-closer work on your rates, your free-style composure and possibly go shop at the merry-go-round for some really cool back to school clothes. Your pitching stats and your swagger will thank you with some compliments and some vulture wins.Please, blog, may I have some more?
The Mariner bullpen has basically been that round-up ride at your local carnival. It doesn’t look that bad until it totally messes with your vertigo and you end up spewing up kettle corn and other assorted goods for two hours there after. Last year, the Mariners bullpen had a 2.60 ERA, good for tops in the MLB. They also saved 51 games to only 11 blown saves. They were all comfy and coozy like footed pajamas last year, and basically everyone could rely on the decent value of return from drafting Fernando Rodney. Then the year changes to five and the ship went askew. Their bullpen ERA is over 4.30 and are on pace to accumulate 45 saves, and, to date, have already blown 18 saves (behind only three other teams for worst). So let’s just run down the year so far: Rodney was the closer, then he wasn’t the closer, Carson Smith took over, and now it seems as though they are reverting back to 2012 in hopes that Tom Wilhelmsen can right the ship of battered and injured bullpen dreams. Stick around for some tid-bits and bullpen ranks…Please, blog, may I have some more?
Are the Red Sox grasping at proverbial straws here? I mean, let’s go to the waiver wire in real life… Grab a reliever, Jean Machi, that has three career saves, and let’s say we’ll think about him being the closer for our team. It sounds weird and crazy, but then you look at the Sawx record (it’s the worst in the AL by the way), and realize maybe it’s not such a far fetched idea. Hanley Ramirez has nine freaking doubles all year. NINE! I just hit four at Fenway the other day, until I realized they were hamburgers. Okay, back to closers. So the Red Sox, with the loss of Koji Uehara to the DL, will turn to just about anyone to see if they can close the 8-10 chances they will get the rest of the year. The front runners are Junichi Tazawa (has 4 blown saves in the last 30 days) and Jean Machi, and the sleeper candidate is the former All-Star closer Ryan Cook. Who in himself was traded for that spectacular fantasy asset: PTBNL. The situations for closers is getting bleaker with the bad teams losing actual options and not having a genuine fall-back option that you could tie your waiver wire dollars too. Best advice is don’t chance saves from all these guys, it will nuke your numbers elsewhere. Concede that you will only get seven points from saves instead of nine. Friends don’t let friends drive drunk while texting or making waiver claims.Please, blog, may I have some more?
With just over a month and a half left to play, it’s still a tight two-horse race between Razzball’s J-FOH and Hannibal Montana for the first Razznasty championship. The big story right now though is MattTruss (The Hippos). Truss has gained nearly 20 points in the standings since our last league update in early July and now sits comfortably in third place. How has he done it? Basically he’s dominated the rest of us since July 1st – leading the league in RBIs, wins, and strikeouts over that span. But that’s not all. The Hippos have also been top five in four other categories, including hitting the second most homers and posting the second best ERA since the beginning of last month. In other words, it’s been a balanced attack on the standings, and I am now officially scared of hippos. There is still a lot of ground between Truss and our two leaders, but anything can happen when you’re a 2-ton animal on the move.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Alex Gordon is out for eight weeks with a seriously strained groin. To add insult to injury, his strained groin was in the smallest colander they could find. Ouch! Sure, in deep leagues, this one hurts. I’m not doubting that. Okay, I am, but let’s stay on good footing today since it’s Friday, and say I’m not doubting it. However (Grey’s cranking the sail and turning this boat around!), Gordon getting hurt in shallower leagues is actually a blessing. Now you can grab hot waiver wire guys and stop relying on boring production from Gordon. Real Talk with Grey Albright. One such guy that I’d grab is Gordon’s teammate and all-around vacuuming chicken, Jarrod Dyson (2-for-4 and his 11th steal). There might not be a bigger value change for one player in the last week, let alone the last month than this one for Dyson. Maybe all year if I can be stupidly hyperbolic without getting called on it. Dyson had the biggest value change since 1925 when Wally Pipp had a tooth pulled and Gehrig got a start at 1st. Dyson had the biggest value change since big pox decided to downgrade to small pox. Dyson could steal 25 bases in eight weeks. No, I’m no longer exaggerating. I’d grab him everywhere I needed SAGNOF! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I am equating this one solely on one thing for the Cubbies… and that term is? Pseudo-intellectual. Joe Maddon does everything different and it’s gotta be the glasses. He makes everyone want, need or have to be involved in his bullpen. Basically, he is the united colors of Benetton of managers. His hydra approach at the bullpen is not only bothersome or troubling for the roster-bater in all of us, it’s damn near impossible to roster and guess which guy it will be today. The trio of Jason Motte, Hector Rondon, and Pedro Strop all seem to play the part of a closer, but get shuffled around like Joe is playing little game in his head. I get that some situations warrant certain match-ups, but sometimes it doesn’t make any sense to me. So for those of you that still care about the Cubs and their six save chances combined between all relievers in the last 14 days, I would roster Motte and Rondon equally, and if I had the space, I would roster Rafael Soriano and hold on tight. Soriano is going to come in like the new city slicker, with a shiny pair of aldo shoes and end up being the cat’s pajamas for about a minute in Maddon’s mind. Personally, rostering three guys to garner one stat is a crazy, crazy thing to get wrapped up into and is a waste. If you are rostering one non-closer reliever to help with ratios, where are you making this roster space up from? Nowhere is the answer, my friends. So stick to the straight and narrow for saves for now, don’t chase unless a clear situation opens it’s doors and gives out the good candy on Halloween. Stick around for some tidbits about the world of relief-dom…Please, blog, may I have some more?
You ever look at a pitcher and just realize that he’s running out of gas much sooner than you expected him too? Well, that’s what I am noticing from the Mets closer of the moment, Jeurys Familia. He is pitching like his best friend died or his pet rock was used in a terrarium for a science fair project. I am not liking the trend of the K’s disappearing, hell he went four appearances without getting one. For a guy with a 10-plus K/9, that is worrisome. The BAA is up for the month, walks are triple from what the previous two months were, and he is trying to pull of a mocha shoe with a green suit. I mean, come on. So just the other day, Bobby Parnell came in got a nice tidy 5-out save and it made me think, the way the Mets are and what their needs as a team are, is this the solution that they need? They needed bullpen help, a nice veteran returning who knows the ropes, walks with a pimp skip (no cane on the field though), and has the ability in previous years to get the job done if need be. I personally just think Jeurys needs a lessened work load to make him bounce back. Still, it is worth noticing or monitoring that Bobby P is back, and he is rounding up his bottom and top slags from Queens Point and is in waiting. Lets see what other bits of delusion I have to scour up for ya. Enjoy the week… cheers!Please, blog, may I have some more?
For a few days it’s been all quiet on the closer front. Usually in the lede, I talk about a change in regime and the pluses/minuses and my opinion on it. There hasn’t been one for two whole weeks… It’s crazy. MLB is putting me outta business in the jibing about fantasy closers market. Where does the unemployment line start? I am only half kidding, and I’m also half crazy too. So that makes me half-something. So believe it or not, the season is officially 3/8 of the way over. That is just crazy in itself to even fathom. I think I have rambled on about nothing long enough… let’s talk about someone, anyone, shall we? I like the rebound to form that Mark Melancon has shown, due to a K/9 of 4.68. I haven’t seen a true one-outcome reliever before, but if you own him, I would sell for a better product. You can probably get by on two things in your favor. One, his name uses letters that can be read in a left-to-right format, which, from what I am understanding, is standard for reading purposes. Two, he has 6 saves in the last two weeks and when people look to see how he has been doing, they will see that he is tied for the lead during that time frame in saves. Listen, if you need saves and you own Melancon, I am not saying go out and sell him cause I said so. I am saying swap him and a extra player and see if you can get an improvement on the K category. The other owner will be so smitten that he got a closer and another player for just a closer, he won’t realize that he was jobbed. Side note, make sure he doesn’t read this blurb first or the jig is up. Stick around more snippets of informative justice are on the way…Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Korea Institute of Toxicology (KIT) is a government-funded research institute to evaluate the safety of medicine, bio-related products and chemicals such as agricultural pesticides, food additives and cosmetics, environmental toxicity and ecotoxicity. As a leading provider of non-clinical toxicology studies, KIT serves as a core infrastructure in the biotechnology industry. In May 2019, Dr. Seong-Hoon Park from KIT organized the first KIT Workshop for Automated Genetic Toxicology Testing. On this event, which was kindly supported by Mirax Corporation, local and overseas speakers summarized current proceedings in the automation of genetic toxicology test analysis.
Comet Assay / Foci
Single Cell Based DNA Damage Analysis
Automation of quantitative DNA lesion analysis based on single cells.
Toxicologists and radiation biologists nowadays can choose from many established tests to assess DNA damage. However, many of these tests are based on counting events which are only indirectly related to the original lesion. Chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei, for instance, are caused by DNA breaks, but the microscopically visible structure is the outcome of complex cellular processing. Comet assay and γ-H2AX foci analysis, however, bear the chance to directly assess the damage on a single cell level. As part of the toxicology portfolio, MetaSystems automated both assays with Metafer.
The Comet (single cell gel electrophoresis) assay is a method for obtaining the amount of DNA fragmentation of single cells. It is widely used to estimate DNA damage caused by chemicals or radiation, for example to test individual sensitivities to ionizing radiation in cancer patients. The assay involves image analysis of the migration pattern caused by fragmented DNA in an agarose gel. The more fragmented the DNA is, the more the DNA fragments migrate, forming a structure that resembles the tail of a comet. Damage quantification is then based on the calculation of the 'head' (the actual cell) and the 'tail' (the migrated fragments).
Metafer automatically detects and selects cells in single cell gel electrophoresis samples. All selected cells are analyzed for all features important for the Comet assay (tail moment, Olive tail moment, %DNA in tail, tail and head dimensions, and many more). The background conditions in the images are measured, and results data can be corrected for uneven background. Comets are detected based on user-defined morphological criteria and thresholds between cells and background. Detected comets are displayed in the cell gallery, and each comet can be relocated with a single mouse click. Data are displayed in convenient histograms and/or scatter plots, which are continuously updated as the scan progresses. Metafer supports multiple exposure times for image acquisition. Images having an extended dynamic range for more precise and reliable measurements.
Metafer is the perfect system for automated, high-throughput Comet assay analyses. It supports changing slide dimensions, e.g. to use multi-gel specimens.
Metafer also includes a license for interactive Comet assay analysis software. The software provides the same analysis options like Metafer, and it is also available as a stand-alone system. If Metafer's signal analysis features are used, there are many more options for automated target cell selection. For example, such a system can automatically detect Hedgehog Comets and distinguish their results from the other cells.
Double-strand breaks (DSB) are the most deleterious DNA lesions which, if left unrepaired, may have severe consequences for cell survival. They are known to lead to chromosome aberrations, genomic instability, and cell death. Various physical, chemical, and biological factors are involved in DSB induction. The histone H2AX, a protein contributing to the nucleosome-formation and therefore the structure of DNA, becomes phosphorylated on serine 139, then called γ-H2AX, as a reaction to the formation of DSBs. Since γ -H2AX expands a large distance from the DSB site, and since specific γ-H2AX antibodies are available, the DSBs can be visualized as discrete foci. Quantification of γ-H2AX foci can be used to detect the genotoxic effect of different toxic substances, including ionizing radiation.
Since γ -H2AX foci microscopically appear like spot shaped signals they can be automatically analyzed using Metafer's signal counting functionality. In contrast to FISH spots, however, γ-H2AX foci tend to vary in size, and also to fuse into larger patches of fluorescent staining in cells exposed to higher doses of a DSB inducing agent. Metafer counts foci in cell nuclei directly and automatically, but it also offers the possibility adding a weighing term into the measurement. Thus, it allows for adaptation of scoring conditions to the own scoring standards. Adaptation can be done using data from validation experiments with valid dose-effect curves.

Josh Marshall wonders
makes Kansas's own Todd Tiahrt the latest GOP nutball:
At a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing on the court's spending request, Representative Todd Tiahrt, Republican of Kansas, veered from the budget issues to press Justice Kennedy.
"Lately we've had rulings that seem to go beyond the rule of law" and that reflect "outside influence," the congressman told the justice. He pointed to a Supreme Court decision last month barring the execution of those who were juveniles when they committed their crimes. That decision, which was written by Justice Kennedy and which cited international treaties and practices abroad, appeared to reflect "pressure put on by the United Nations and other agencies," Mr. Tiahrt said.
Mr. Tiarht said the court was "not interpreting the Constitution and laws that govern America anymore," and added that his views were shared by people "across the United States."
I hope not.

AMBER Alert Luxembourg is the nationwide alert system for endangered missing children and child abduction cases.
Launched in 2016
AMBER Alert Luxembourg was officially launched on April 28, 2016, by the Minister of Justice, Félix Braz, and the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Internal Security, Francine Closener, in Luxembourg. AMBER Alert Luxembourg is the result of a cooperation between of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the National Police of Luxembourg and AMBER Alert Europe, the European Child Rescue Alerts and Police Network on Missing Children.
AMBER Alerts & endangered missing children
AMBER Alert Luxembourg enables the police in Luxembourg to quickly inform citizens when the police fear the life of an abducted or missing child is in imminent danger. In addition to AMBER Alerts, parts of the system will be used to find endangered missing children. A missing child is considered endangered when there is an immediate and significant risk of harm but the case does not reach the criteria for an AMBER Alert.
AMBER Alert Europe’s goal is to improve the protection of endangered missing children in Europe. AMBER Alert Europe connects law enforcement with citizens in the search for endangered missing children. The organisation provides police training, encourages cross-border police cooperation and facilitates AMBER Alert systems for European Member States.
AMBER Alert Europe is supported by missing persons’ specialists, NGOs, police- and government agencies and more than 450 Members of the European Parliament. The organisation has 18 members (NGOs, ministries and police) in 14 countries.
If you should have technical questions about the AMBER Alert system, and they are not answered in the FAQ, you can email your questions to email@example.com

This edited volume brings together a range of essays by individuals who are centrally involved in the debate about the role and utility of theory in intelligence studies.
The volume includes both classic essays and new articles that critically analyse some key issues: strategic intelligence, the place of international relations theory, theories of ‘surprise’ and ‘failure’, organisational issues, and contributions from studies of policing and democratisation. It concludes with a chapter that summarises theoretical developments, and maps out an agenda for future research. This volume will be at the forefront of the theoretical debate and will become a key reference point for future research in the area.
This book will be of much interest for students of Intelligence Studies, Security Studies and Politics/International Relations in general.

Modern horizontal packaging machines are designed for packing a wide range of food products (from sweets to bakery products), as well as for household and household products. Horizontal packing machines are used for packing three-pack “flo-pack” type packages and bags with side folds (“double flat bottom”).
The equipment performs such operations as forming a package, filling it with pieces (piece goods) and closing the package. Additional options can be applying information to the package (using a tape thermal printer), sticking labels, etc. Such Food Packaging Machines can be equipped with various sensors to control the continuity of supply or cooling plates for packaging a number of food products.
The field of application of horizontal packaging machines can be different and includes a full variety of operation – packaging of construction materials and food products, metal and plastic pipes, magazines, newspapers and other printed matter, wooden rails and large boards, linoleum, carpets, etc.
The quality of the package – the continuous winding of products of all shapes and length – provides a carefully thought out mechanism. As a rule, all packaging machines that our company offers you, can work several shifts in a row without breaks.
Today, machines for packing in packs “flow pack” are characterized by simple maintenance and the availability of automatic control systems (maintaining the welding temperature, etc.), the ability to change over to another product in a short time, with a high degree of reliability and durability. To order such equipment (wholesale party or in a single variant) you can and in the company.
Packaging and packaging – to protect products from damage, is also the most important carrier of advertising.
Packaging – the carrier of the brand symbol – the logo
Packaging design is an instrument for distinguishing a brand from a competitive environment.
In today’s world it is difficult to imagine quality goods without branded packaging; it has become an integral part of any production. Scientific and technological progress and expansion of the market led the packaging industry to the level of the world’s leading industries.
The growth trend is explained by the consumer survey, which showed that there are two main points for which they are willing to pay: health benefits, especially when it comes to food products, and the convenience of cooking-consuming-using the product.
And we are talking not only about the product itself, but also about more expensive and high-quality packaging. The number of buyers is growing, ready to pay for packaging that preserves the original properties of the product. There is a growing number of people willing to pay for a conveniently packaged product and packaging that can somehow ease the use of the product.

I have a love-hate relationship with food. I love it; it generally hates me. Matter of fact, I love food so much that until a few years ago, I was extremely overweight. So overweight that Iinvented a piece of health tech to help me lose 80 pounds. It worked, and since then I’ve remained a healthy weight primarily by making sure I count my calories, don’t overeat, and get regular exercise.
And for the most part, it’s been smooth sailing, and I even eat whatever I want most of the time: fish, chicken, pasta, diet soda, fruity yogurts, and a sweet snack once a day like a bag of M&M’s or a brownie. I also love my daily coffee with a few packets of sugar. A calorie is a calorie, right? As long as I don’t go above 2,000 calories a day, I know I won’t gain weight and I’ll remain a generally healthy person.
When I recently mentioned my weight loss and current daily dietary intake to a doctor friend of mine, I expected her to congratulate me on my success. And though she did, she also cautioned me that while my daily calorie levels were something to continue, she was worried I was getting too much refined sugar in my diet. As she knows I have an interest in not only maintaining a healthy weight but in mental fitness as well, she pointed out that study after study shows how bad refined sugar is for both our waistlines and our brains.
How Much Sugar Should You Eat In a Day?
The American Heart Association says men should eat no more than 37.5 grams of sugar a day and women should eat no more than 25 grams. But the World Health Organization now says even those allowances are too high, suggesting both men and women should eat 25 grams or fewer each day. The average American currently eats 126 grams of sugar a day—though most don't realize it. Much of that amount comes from the refined sugars added to our foods during manufacturing.

ReutersSydney, AustraliaMay 03, 2018, 11.12 AM
France's President Emmanuel Macron may have had le vin rouge on his mind when he thanked Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and his "delicious wife" for their warm welcome on his official visit.
But the linguistic misstep, probably caused by a subtle difference in the usage of the French word "delicieux" and its English counterpart "delicious", has certainly done no harm to bilateral relations.
"Lucy was very flattered, she was very flattered," Turnbull told journalists on Thursday.
"She's asked me to say that she found the President's compliment as charming as it was memorable."
The light-hearted brouhaha lit up social media on Wednesday after Macron and Turnbull had navigated several sensitive diplomatic issues at a news conference in Sydney.
Macron thanked the Turnbulls for being good hosts and acknowledged the fine food and wine he had enjoyed, before exclaiming in English: "I want to thank you for your welcome, you and your delicious wife for the warm welcome."
Discussion about the remark immediately overshadowed the leaders' deliberations on more weighty issues, such as China's growing influence in the region.
But what exactly did Macron try to say?
He may have had the word "delicieux" in mind, which, though sounding similar to "delicious," would, in this instance, better translate as "lovely" or "delightful".
While more often used to describe a pastry or a meal, the word "delicieux" can also describe a person, even if it is a somewhat old-fashioned usage.
"In French, it doesn't mean you want to eat that person," said Sydney-based translator Brigitte Carcenac de Torné, who attended the bilateral event.
"He used the word delicious as it is used in French. I've noticed he has a very rich vocabulary and he seems to be particularly fond of 18th-century literature and that usage appears in the writings of that time."
Though Macron, who studied philosophy at university, speaks better English than several of his predecessors and often speaks the language when abroad, his only experience of living in an English-speaking country is six months in the French embassy in Nigeria.
It is not the first time a stray comment - in this case, unintentional - on a high-profile visit has overshadowed more official business.
Last year, US President Donald Trump praised French first lady Brigitte Macron for being in "such good shape" on a state visit to France.

The British Eurosceptics spent years whingeing about the evils and disadvantages of being in the Common Market, later the European Economic Community and then the European Union. If you feed your country enough lies and propaganda some of it is bound to stick, only we hadn’t realised the extent of the belief until a little over half of the electorate (or at least those who went to their polling stations on 23 June) voted to leave the EU. They viewed our membership through the prism of a half empty glass, and negative emotions are dangerous and harmful.
The fallout from Brexit has been unfathomable. Although we were warned that the Pound would plunge and take the FTSE with it, that foreign employers would pull out of the UK and jobs would be placed at risk, the two former journalists running the Leave campaign ran roughshod over the advice of the economists and financial institutions, whose expertise they dismissed with a withering ‘the country is sick of experts’. They fanned the flames of racists and xenophobes, who claimed that they wanted to take their country back. Back from whom? Back from where? This scepter’d isle sits where she always has. There were never any invaders lining up at our borders and ports. And even Nigel Farage’s poster of desperate refugees trying to enter Croatia-Slovenia last year, fraudulently making them appear as if they were in a long queue to enter Britain, was soon debunked for the Fascist lie that it obviously was.
Nick Cohen, writing for The Guardian, pointed out that Boris Johnson has been sacked in the past for lying, both to readers of The Times, and to Michael Howard, who was once the Conservative party leader: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/25/boris-johnson-michael-gove-eu-liars. During the referendum campaign Johnson was also taken to task for spinning the myth of the £350m that this country was reputed to have sent to the EEC on a weekly basis. He tried to answer the accusations with his usual bluster. However, on Friday morning, once the referendum result was known, Farage openly admitted on television that this had been a ‘mistake’, and the same amount of money, that they had promised to the NHS, would not be remitted.
The country may now be in an uncertain financial mess, but the other campaign that has, divided the UK (and still continues to do so) was immigration. This has been fermenting for a long time, frequently whipped up by the right wing tabloid press, and encouraging people to believe that migrants were coming here, either to take their readers’ jobs, or to claim benefits that the local population were unable to access. There have even been reports in the media of British people turning on those they perceive to be different, harassing them and venting their xenophobic vitriol on them. Apparently some Brexiters seemed to think that a vote to leave the EU would mean foreigners being immediately repatriated. And by ‘foreigners’ they mean people with different accents or different skin colours, even if they were born here.
What is going on? I only know of the 1930s from the history books, but uncertain financial markets, fascism and xenophobia led to the slaughter of millions of people, and I’m not talking about war combatants. Human nature needs a scapegoat, but we can’t turn on our fellow human beings and blame them for the mess we are now in. We have a long record of successfully absorbing migrants, even when they have been invaders or conquerors.
The Romans, Angles, Saxons, Danes and Norman French have all breached Britain’s walls, but we survived. We have not been invaded since 1066, although there were threats in 1588 and during the Second World War. However, we have also provided asylum for those in need: Huguenot French seeking religious freedom, the Irish trying to escape the potato famine, Jews starting new lives away from the Russian Pogroms, and Ugandan Asians, who were expelled by Idi Amin from the country that was their homeland. We provided safety for the more than 9,000 children escaping Nazi occupied Europe and who came here on the Kindertransport between 1938 and 1940, many of whom have gone on to pay their adopted country back in numerous different ways.
Since the Soviet bloc began to disintegrate in 1989 and more Eastern European nations have joined the EU, we have been a magnate for those seeking to improve their lives. Current estimates are that around 2 million people from other European countries have now made Britain their home. We must also not forget that we once had an Empire and members of former Commonwealth countries have also had the right to move here. Their numbers are estimated at around 2.5 million since 1952.
We cannot change human nature, but we can try to calm down and look at facts calmly and realistically. In the early seventeenth century several playwrights were called on to make changes to a play about Sir Thomas More. Experts have confirmed that Shakespeare’s hand is the one that is apparent in the scene where Londoners are baying for the blood of immigrants who they believe are threatening their jobs and livelihoods. He turns More into a skilled orator, pointing out to the mob exactly what they are doing and suggesting they turn the tables and put themselves in the shoes of the migrants. He urges them to imagine themselves as strangers in a foreign land. Shakespeare may even have been referring back to the Bible: ‘The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.’ Perhaps some of the inhabitants of these islands should take these words to heart.
On top of the above problems, the state of limbo is incredibly unsettling. The referendum polling stations closed a little over four days ago and several hours later David Cameron tendered his resignation. The country has no Prime Minister since David Cameron tendered his resignation on Friday morning and more than half the shadow cabinet have resigned while Jeremy Corbyn still clings to power. And yet Boris Johnson, the man who most of us believe campaigned to leave the EU in an attempt to build his own political CV and achieve his ambition to become Britain’s Premier, appears to have gone to ground. The Brexiters don’t appear to have a plan (at least not one that has been shared with the country) to proceed, Article 50 (the initial step to triggering our formal withdrawal from the EU) has not been invoked, the UK has lost its treasured AAA credit rating, and we are left in a limbo of no-man’s land. And to add insult to injury, the England team has gone out of football’s European cup. Is this really happening or are we all living in some kind of shared parallel existence from which we will wake up to find that it’s all been some kind of horrible dream? What was that slogan half of the country was chanting last week? I think it was something to do with taking back control. Sorry, I think I’ve missed something. We have never been more out of control.
Winning the referendum is the equivalent of drinking from a poisoned chalice, not least because it toppled Johnson’s former friend and schoolmate, brought the above problems with it (and we were warned), and could well precipitate the dismantling of the United Kingdom and a possible further fracturing of the European Union. The Great seems to have fallen out of Britain.

If viewers are looking for “The Amazing Race” this fall, they can stop. Although the 29th season of the globetrotting series was filmed this summer, it is not on
The critically acclaimed, Emmy-winning show is the latest victim of the erosion of reality television this fall on broadcast networks.
Of the 87 broadcast prime-time hours airing each week this season, just nine are reality TV — and three are NBC's "The Voice" alone. That's down from 12 hours last fall, and 14 in 2014.
The decline has been steady.
What's happening? Fear has taken over.
"Everyone wants to be innovative, but they're also really, deeply afraid to fail," according to Tim Duffy, who co-founded the production company Ugly Brother Studios after nine years as senior vice president of original series at Spike.
“A confusion and fear coming from the top down and bottom up” is “getting in the way of trying new things; it’s getting in the way of good content rising to the top,” said Jay Blumenfield, whose production company the Jay and Tony Show has produced reality for broadcast as well as basic and premium cable, such as
As is often the case, reality television was at the top of the ratings this summer, consistently dominating the top 20 among the coveted 18-49 age demographic and total viewers, including NBC's "America's Got Talent" and CBS' "Big Brother."
Rob Mills, ABC Entertainment's senior vice president of alternative and late night, who had success this summer with "The Bachelorette" and game show revivals including "The $100,000 Pyramid," noted that reality shows like "Survivor" and "American Idol" aired their first seasons in summer because "after a year of scripted [shows], you're ready for something a little different."
By fall, though, desires flip. "TV watchers, myself included, are all creatures of habit. It's been, literally since birth, that fall has meant scripted shows," said Mills. "It's really difficult for unscripted to cut through."
So the decreasing amount on the fall schedule may just be a reset to the status quo from before the reality TV boom of the early '00s. Yet new reality TV shows across television are still struggling.
"It's very hard to come up with something that feels breakthrough or original," said Jon Murray, who created "The Real World" — the template for modern reality TV — with his late producing partner Mary-Ellis Bunim.
Hollywood's tendency to copycat may be to blame. Marjorie Kaplan, Discovery Networks International's president of content, said, "We talk a lot about how the world is changing, and the business is changing, and we need to change, and where is the audience going. But most of the stuff we do is exactly the same."
She called it the "typical innovator's dilemma: We have a super, super successful business that we know is changing dramatically, and so we have to find a way to feed this linear beast and at the same time, imagine a different future."
Early breakout shows such as CBS' "Survivor" and ABC's "The Bachelor" remain strong top-10 hits during the regular season, which means there's less room for a new show. Creating new hits is especially hard, one former broadcast network executive said, because reality doesn't repeat well, nor do the ratings rise with DVR playback factored into the equation. New shows are bigger gambles.
For a documentary-style reality show to even be greenlighted by a network, producers are often required to map out a season's story lines in advance. Instead of just filming, say, a group of coworkers, producers have to plan every scene — and that leads some shows to script scenes or use manipulative editing that distorts reality. That artificiality doesn't breed unexpected and authentic moments.
"You have to take chances that you're going to document real things and they might not have a satisfying ending, or be satisfying enough for a network to air it. If you don't take those chances, you might not ever find those beautiful moments," the Jay and Tony Show's Tony Marsh said. His company's eponymous podcast is one of the few places where the genre's struggles — and strengths — are discussed openly.
"If you do a scripted show, at least you know there's going to be a payoff; you've signed off on an ending, you know how a story goes," he said. With reality TV, "the chance might be that it doesn't work, and it's not worth airing."
While scripted television shows are allowed to challenge their audiences — with the dense language and myriad characters of "Game of Thrones" or the disorientation of "Mr. Robot" — reality TV increasingly does the opposite. Before an episode even starts, there's a preview of the most dramatic moments, and after each commercial break, the same footage is repeated. In interview segments, cast members narrate what we're seeing on screen, an odd redundancy.
All of that makes reality TV feel cheap compared with prestige dramas, which do the opposite. Meanwhile, scripted shows such as "Modern Family" and "The Office" borrowed the language of reality television and documentary.
Discovery's Kaplan — who transformed Animal Planet from low-rated nature programming to human-driven, popular reality TV such as "Whale Wars" — said, "We saw some really interesting research where people talked about the fact that they felt like the things that were happening in scripted television were more real than what they were seeing in reality TV. They had a better view of what it meant to be human, of human emotions, of the complications of being human."
As Netflix, Amazon Studios and premium cable outlets raise the bar in scripted television, they are also offering hope and creative freedom to those who work in the unscripted arena.
Because they're not ratings- or ad-driven, "the definition of success is entirely different," Kaplan said. "Any time you break a paradigm, it can enable a new kind of creativity to emerge."
Duffy said those outlets are "all seeking a premium style of story and that requires a great deal of expertise." His company produced Amazon's third unscripted series, "Eat the World With Emeril Lagasse," in which Lagasse travels with other chefs to explore cuisines. Unlike food reality shows on cable with their studio sets and heart-pounding action, the show has a leisurely pace and lingering establishing shots of locations such as a remote South Korean temple.
"No broadcast or cable network would have allowed us to execute this style of show, where the visuals are as refined as they are, where the pacing of the story is as respectful to the audience as it is," he said.
Less-refined storytelling may simply be a product of reality TV's rapid success. The format's rapid proliferation meant that, on both the network and production side, people with limited experience in television advanced quickly.
"When you're a scripted exec at a broadcast network, you have decades and decades and decades of understanding of how to execute a one-hour drama," Duffy said. "[Reality] producers and executives have been put into a position of having to be masters of all of these sub-genres," since the big tent of reality covers such diverse offerings as game shows and cinéma vérité documentary, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and "Making a Murderer."
"How can we expect executives to be brilliant innovators when they're overseeing such huge categories of content?" Duffy added. "And the answer to this problem, always, is go back to great content, go back to great storytellers."
The Jay and Tony Show's Marsh agrees. "We need to embrace what is truly special about what we do: documenting real people doing real things. That is fascinating, and it always will be, but it has to be able to breathe, and live — not be confined and mapped out and OK'd by a network," he said.
"We need to enjoy the truth, the authenticity, the power of things that are not scripted. That is not easy to do. Things might go slower, they might be messier, they might not have things tied up the way you want them to. That's life." And reality.

…sometime in the not too distant future…
Washington D.C. (UPI). An estimated three million Americans arrived in the U.S. capitol today, including several Governors and state legislators, and together with tens of thousands of bicyclists, at least 30,000 semi tractor trailers, and thousands of buses, literally shut the capitol down. Federal workers, warned of this event in advance, were not affected as more than 3/4 of the federal workforce stayed home.
The protesters called themselves ‘The Republic’, representing the U.S. Constitution and its form of government. Seizing the day, “The Republic” called out the current government as “renegade”, runaway government without the consent of the governed. It was helpful to point out that Obama’s secret service name is ‘renegade’.
The massive crowd and vehicles surrounded the Capitol, the White House, Supreme Court, and the Pentagon with the singular intent of calling for the investigation, indictment, and arrest of Barack Obama. While many were calling for impeachment, all were united behind the now common knowledge around the world that Barack Obama is an impostor and an illegal immigrant to the country, who seized power with the help of the Rothschilds and key government officials who were purchased and took thirty pieces of silver to betray the country.
The crowd was apparently about equally dispersed among these sites with the exception of the Pentagon which was the major ‘base camp’ for the event. An estimated one million people were on the Pentagon grounds by 9 am. The purpose of this event was to call for the Joint Chiefs and enlisted officers to uphold their oath to the constitution and have each of the services’ top military lawyers initiate a joint investigation into Obama’s credentials.
The descent upon Washington’s pillars of power began more than five months ago, as groups of people began innocently arriving in the region. While all the major officials were out of town during a regular recess, and were not there to respond to the crowd, they were unable to return to work after returning from the recess. The work of the Congress, the Supreme Court, and all of the Cabinet agencies literally ground to a halt.
Whether there was any coordinated action among these activists–who ranged in age from 2 years to 90 years old–is difficult to tell, however, we can’t help but note that it was the opposite of what was expected. Instead of keeping people locked in, people were kept out of their offices and prevented from doing any work until the demand of the protesters was met.
After ten days of the reverse seige of Washington, several prominent federal officials began to defect by announcing their resignation from office. The Secretaries of Interior, Commerce, and Transportation resigned, as did the obama–appointed Supreme Court Justices. From her home office in San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi voluntarily resigned after 250 members of Congress sign a written pledge to investigate her for election fraud.
On the 20th day of the protest, with millions of people remaining in the area, the Congress removes Obama using the 25th amendment and begins its investigation into the 2008 election. The ‘photo of the century’, of Obama and Michelle being led out of the White House in handcuffs and under military escort, was taken by 57-year old Roy Jamison of Eureka, Nevada, an unemployed mine worker who arrived in Washington only a month ago.
Obama is incarcerated and interrogated while awaiting disposition of his legal case, consisting of 57 counts including election, mail, and wire fraud; identity theft; impersonation of a federal official, treason, sedition, and a pending charge of conspiracy to commit murder.
Joe Biden, under house arrest for collusion and prohibited to travel, acts as a non-functional President while Congress with the advice of the States completes the process of replacing the President, Vice President and entire cabinet. An acting Speaker of the House and Senate leadership are chosen by the State legislators of each state from the ranks of republicans to temporarily hold office until the 2012 election, or as their respective state legislatures deem appropriate. Within six months of Obama’s arrest, the United States had a new President and Cabinet.
After 40 days in Washington D.C., the protesters–whoever they were, went home. The security tents and sound systems were dismantled, personal safety vests removed, and the nation’s capital once again returned to work–first the people’s work on fixing the Obama problem, and then the people’s work on other issues.
While things seemed to return to normal, 57,000 patriots remained in the region through 2012, solely focused on liberty’s eternal vigilance.

The Elk River gets a very strong run of Native Winter Steelhead along with fall Chinook Salmon. The Elk River is in southwestern Oregon. Approximately 25 miles (40 km) long, the river drains a remote area of the Coastal Range into the Pacific Ocean. On October 28, 1988, the Elk River was designated Wild and Scenic. It has two classifications: The 17-mile segment from the confluence of the North and South Fork of the Elk River to Anvil Creek is classified "recreational." The 2-mile segment of the North Fork Elk River from the falls to its confluence with the South Fork Elk River is classified "wild."

Sciatica is unfortunately a common problem amongst Americans and it affects more than 3 million people yearly. Suffering from sciatica pain is extremely uncomfortable and frustrating as sciatica pain can make it difficult to sit or stand. It can often be felt as a sharp and stabbing pain. Sciatica pain usually is the result of a compressed sciatic nerve, but it can also be caused by misaligned vertebrae, tumors, slipped and or herniated discs, pregnancy, and diabetes.
But don’t worry, there’s help for sciatica pain. Your local Pompano Beach chiropractor can help you create a treatment plan to reduce and alleviate symptoms and pain as a result of a sciatic nerve.
Your sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body, it stems from your buttocks and then goes all the way down the back of your leg down to your toes. As such it connects your legs to your spinal cord and any issues with your sciatic nerve can result in numbness and weakness in your legs.
Chiropractic doctors in Pompano Beach can provide non-invasive, non-surgical, and holistic treatment to help reduce and relieve sciatica pain. Spinal and manual manipulation, electronic stimulation, ultrasounds, and hot and cold therapy are some of the most common types of sciatica pain treatment provided by Pompano Beach chiropractic doctors.
Spinal and manual manipulation, or also known as adjustments, are effective in alleviating sciatica pain because it helps to improve your range of motion and realign vertebras that have become misaligned. These adjustments can also reduce nerve irritation, muscle spasms, and other symptoms linked to sciatica pain.
Electronic stimulation produced by a TENS unit, or a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is a small battery-powered device that emits electronic pulses that can help to reduce pain and the likelihood of muscle spasms. These TENS units can be found in your chiropractic doctor’s office or can be purchased for in-home use to continue electronic stimulation treatment at home.
Ultrasounds are a common treatment for sciatica pain because the sound waves emitted by an ultrasound machine helps to improve your blood circulation and improved blood circulation can also help in reducing cramps, muscle stiffness, and muscle spasms.
Hot and cold therapy can relieve and reduce sciatica pain by applying a heating source such as a heating pad for a period of 10 to 15 minutes followed by a cold source such as ice or a bag of frozen veggies for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Amanda Krause: "Self-reported favourite musical experiences and how we might promote life-long investment in musical activities"
- Date: –11:00
- Location: Zoom (contact Patrik Juslin for link)
- Organiser: Department of Psychology
- Contact person: Patrik Juslin
The Open Seminar in Music Psychology
Dr. Amanda Krause, James Cook University (Australia): "Self-reported favourite musical experiences and how we might promote life-long investment in musical activities"
A growing body of research has begun to examine musical investment and well‐being; yet very little has considered how best to promote life‑long investment in music. We will present findings from an Australian Research Council funded discovery project, focused on generating knowledge about how and why we should invest in music-making to promote well-being. In particular, we will focus on recent work examining the characteristics of people’s favourite musical experiences which indicated that these are complex, multidimensional, and that categorisation of the participants’ descriptions aligns with Gabrielsson’s Strong Experiences with Music Descriptive System. These findings will also be considered alongside project findings concerning the psychosocial variables related to continuing versus ceasing musical participation, the reasons why people cease participating and how to re-engage them, and how participating in musical activities influences perceived well-being.

The largest challenge that most photographers face is acquiring new clients and turning them into repeat clients. In this article, we’ll dive into helpful tips and tricks to keep photography clients around and get them to book time and time again.
When running your own photography business, it’s easy to let the business and personal side of life collide. Whether that’s collaborating with clients in an at-home studio or creating an organized set, it’s hard to know where the line is.
The best thing you can do to keep photography clients and turn them into returning customers is to maintain professionalism. Respect the time of your client and yourself, make sure deliverables are clearly outlined, and communicate the value of your work to your client.
These little things may seem like they don’t make a big difference, but in reality, they set you apart from your competition and make your clients feel like they’re working with a pro.
Have Clear Contracts
Having a firm contract that outlines the expectations and requirements of all parties involved in the shoot isn’t just to stay safe, it’s actually a great way to keep both parties happy and expectations in check. For instance, let’s say you have a client who continues to request edits over the number outlined in your contract. You can turn to the contract and refer to the additional fee required for the extra edits. A contract also ensures the clients get their photos on time and it guarantees you get paid.
Keep the Client Satisfied
Similar to having a clear contract, keeping your client satisfied and engaged during a shoot encourages them to rebook and tell their friends about the experience they’ve had with you and your business. Client satisfaction is often attributed to the end result, but also the collaboration between the photographer and the client. One way to increase collaboration is through tethering (more on this later). As a result, the client can see photos and give immediate feedback, which allows you to make on-the-fly adjustments. This creates a better experience for the client and the photographer.
Tether Your Camera
Tethering allows you to show the client what shots you’re getting during the shoot on a larger screen. It can keep the client excited as they see their vision come to life through your work, improving on their experience and often resulting in additional work or referrals. On larger sets, such as editorial shoots, tethering becomes even more beneficial, as it makes collaboration between everyone easier and ensures visions are aligned.
Underpromise and Overdeliver
It’s always best to underpromise and overdeliver. If you know it typically takes you a week to edit and deliver the photographs, tell them they’ll have it in two. Upon receiving the final images in a week, the client knows they’re valued — and if not, you’ve eliminated the stress of a deadline in the event something comes up.
Invest in the Tools to Be Successful
Having the right tools is essential to maintaining a successful photography business. The camera and lens are only half the battle. Remember to tether during your shoots to show your clients that your shots align with their vision and invest in versatile lighting setups. Your clients will be thrilled to work with a professional who reinvests in their business.

But Melo isn't a cancer. The Knicks aren't doomed. And Linsanity isn't over. Yet.
Lin still ran the team. The big worry was that Melo would hijack the offense and run isolation plays from the wing like he did before Lin arrived. But for the most part, he worked within the Lin-dominant offense the Knicks have been winning with over the last two weeks.
Melo missed make-able shots. He was downright awful last night. He missed three gimme lay-ups in the first quarter alone and was totally out of whack after that. But that's probably the result of rust rather than some inherent conflict with Lin.
Defense was a bigger issue than offense last night. The Knicks' best perimeter defender, Iman Shumpert, was out injured. And the team's best interior defender, Tyson Chandler, was in and out of the game because of foul trouble. As a result, Deron Williams absolutely torched a Knicks team that has been one of the best defensive teams in the NBA since Lin entered the lineup.
The Knicks have the hardest schedule in the NBA from now until the end of the season. So if Melo has trouble assimilating into the team, things could take a dramatic turn for the worse.
But Lin still played well last night. And despite Carmelo's struggles, none of the flaws we saw in the Nets loss appeared to be incurable.

K-pop girl group LOONA have made their long-awaited comeback with the new mini-album ‘Flip That’ and a title track of the same name.
- READ MORE: LOONA talk new mini-album ‘[&]’, their favourite new tracks and the return of leader HaSeul
In the stunning new visual for ‘Flip That’, the members of LOONA enter a summery wonderland on a retro-looking train, playing gleefully in a forest clearing filled blooming flora. Elsewhere in the video, the girl group perform the song’s choreography in a pastel-toned room filled with flowers.
“Stay still, follow the new light that leads me / We love the way we go / Yeah, turn it all upside down,” they sing in the dreamy pre-chorus.
The ‘Flip That’ mini-album features a total of six songs, including the intro track ‘The Journey’, which was previously featured in the group’s comeback trailer. In addition, the project also features ‘POSE’, a song they released for the finale of reality competition series Queendom 2 last month.
Other B-sides on the record include ‘Need U’, ‘Pale Blue Dot’ and ‘Playback’, the third of which will mark the official songwriting debut of LOONA members HaSeul, Kim Lip and Yves.
Earlier this month, the girl group announced venues and dates for the North American leg of their forthcoming world tour, ‘LOONATHEWORLD’. Kicking off in early August with a stop in Los Angeles the tour was originally set to end in New York City.
The girl group have since added three more cities to their upcoming US tour — namely Atlanta, Dallas and Houston — as well as Mexico City, Mexico “due to overwhelming demand”.
However, bandmate Chuu will to not be joining the rest of the group on the tour, with Blockberry Creative explaining that this was due to “scheduled activities that have been fixed in advance throughout the rest of the year”.

Red Alert 21 March 2016 3 years ago Why new rules intended to cut red tape could mean extra responsibilities and risks for business. From this year, businesses that have a turnover below £10.2M will no longer have to have their accounts independently signed off by an auditor. Until now, an auditor had to sign off accounts of all businesses with a turnover of £6.5M and above. This change is expected to result in thousands of businesses no longer having to be independently audited. Figures vary as to just how many businesses will be affected but the most conservative estimate states that 11,000 businesses will no longer be required to be audited. The change in the rules is part of Business Secretary Sajid Javid’s attempt to reduce the amount of regulation faced by all UK companies. While the move is being welcomed by many in the business community – and is in line with a European Union directive – it is worth considering what it will mean for those it will affect most. Businesses, after all, are responsible for their books. It is business personnel who can find themselves in the firing line when it comes to identifying any fraud or other wrongdoing. It is them who are expected to explain anything that seems unusual in the company’s books. WarningAlthough the exact figure for the number of companies affected by this change is subject to some discussion, there is another statistic that is worth noting. This relaxation of auditing requirements will mean that 98% of Britain’s businesses will not have to carry out a full audit. Understandably, the CBI has welcomed the change. But the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has already warned that the relaxation of auditing requirements will make businesses in that 98% more vulnerable to fraud, money-laundering and other financial offences. It has raised its fears with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. Michael Izza, ICAEW Chief Executive, said: "We understand their concern is to reduce the regulatory burden on business, and this is an aim we fully support. We just believe the savings would be better made in less potentially damaging areas." Whether the ICAEW obtains any government climb down on the new rules remains to be seen. It is unlikely. Change So while the change has alarmed accountants, what concerns should the more general business community have? For those working for companies whose turnover is between £6.5M and £10.2M, it means that their books will no longer have to be independently audited. It brings them into line with their counterparts working for companies whose turnover is below £6.5M: their books no longer have to face the scrutiny they previously had to undergo. At first glance, this may appear to be an "easy ride" in comparison to businesses with a £10.2M-plus turnover who still have to be audited. But, as we touched on earlier, there is an argument to be made that those who are not audited are under greater pressure – and need to take precautions. A finger of suspicion will always be pointed when wrongdoing is suspected. The argument that someone should have spotted it is a fair one but does not tell the whole story. Firms have to devise and implement their own procedures to give those in the company the chance to identify wrongdoing. Such procedures will always help tackle the problem. An absence of them is a dangerous and unrealistic way to proceed. Identification It may be that many of the companies newly freed from the responsibility of being audited feel they can leave the identification of wrongdoing to the accountant now the auditor will no longer be visiting. Then there are the many firms – either audited or unaudited – who feel that they need do nothing to prevent or identify fraud as the accountant will be on to any illegality in a flash. This would be a huge mistake. It is imperative that companies do what they can for themselves to reduce the chance of any wrongdoing and the danger of them being implicated in it. Lumping responsibility onto the accountant is a risky, short-sighted approach. Simple things such as maintaining comprehensive and detailed records of every contact a company has with customers and other third parties may seem like stating the obvious. But such records are essential if and when the investigating authorities come looking for answers. On a similar theme, companies should not enter a business relationship blindly. They need to learn some basic information about those they are considering working for or with: What line of business are they in? What are the business patterns in their finances? Do certain anomalies indicate anything suspicious? If the answers to such questions are not convincing, you need to tread warily. Such answers (or a lack of them) can give an indication of whether a business (or people working within it) are involved in illegality. Precautions To put it simply, ignorance of the law is no excuse. If a firm is to remain on the right side of the law, it has to be aware of the law as it applies to it and its clients. For example, it may be the case that a company may have genuinely never suspected that a customer or partner was involved in, for example, money laundering or other financial crime. But if we consider the money laundering example, the company’s explanations to the authorities will hold greater credibility if its senior staff are familiar with the law regarding money laundering; particularly the relevant aspects of the Proceeds of Crime Act and the Money Laundering Regulations. In such circumstances, it is vital that a company has taken all relevant precautions to ensure that the finger of suspicion is not pointed its way – regardless of whether an auditor is also looking at the books. Businesses’ relationships with their staff, customers and third parties can be laid out in the open, entirely visible to the authorities, when an investigation begins. They need to take steps to make sure there is nothing to see that arouses the suspicions of the investigators. Being audit free must not be seen as a get out of jail card.

You know, the sad thing is, almost this exact thing happened when I was in college…in the 80s.
“February 13, 2007, 9:12 AM EST
NEW BRITAIN, Conn. — A former college newspaper editor who wrote an article describing rape as a “magical experience” apologized to a large crowd of students and faculty at Central Connecticut State University…John Petroski’s Feb. 7 article in The Recorder was headlined, “Rape Only Hurts If You Fight It.” It argued that rape has been a positive force in western civilization and benefits “ugly women.”....Petroski said the article was satire.”
Words totally fail me. But I’d like to kick that little shit’s ass.

I’m not sure whether Brusse’s love based mini-installations make me embarrassed that my boyfriend doesn’t care enough to carve leftover watermelons or mush raw meat patties for a surprise love note, or extremely glad I’m not dating a psychopath who messes with my groceries. I’m sorry, but I almost feel like his work is just one, tiny non-returned phone call step away from a nasty note keyed into my car and a court-issued restraining order. Am I really that cynical? What’s wrong with some roses and a post-it note on the door? Is re-tiling your entire bathroom ceiling in red and white squares that say “I love you” design faux-pas or grand beaux-arts? What do you think….sweet or sour?

GIGABYTE's New Z490 Aorus Master WaterForce Combo with Bundled 360mm AIOby Gavin Bonshor on August 3, 2020 4:00 PM EST
Up until now, GIGABYTE has reserved the monoblock clad WaterForce series for its flagship Aorus Xtreme models. In an interesting move to further enhance the performance of the Intel Core i9-10900K processor and dominate the mid-range space, GIGABYTE has announced the new Z490 Aorus Master WaterForce bundle. GIGABYTE claims it to be the world's first motherboard to be bundled with a 360 mm AIO CPU cooler with monoblock which covers both the board's CPU socket and VRM area.
The GIGABYTE Z490 Aorus Master WaterForce is essentially the same on paper as the initial Z490 Aorus Master model and follows a similar aesthetic. It encompasses an Aorus themed design with black PCIe slot armor and a brushed silver chipset heatsink, which includes an integrated RGB Aorus Falcon logo.
GIGABYTE Z490 Aorus Master WaterForce without the monoblock
It uses a 14-phase power delivery which consists of an Intersil ISL69269 PWM controller, with fourteen ISL99390B 90 A power stages operating with seven ISL6617A doublers. This is cooled by a monoblock which is also designed to cool the CPU, with support for Intel's latest Comet Lake processors. The board's other features include three PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slots, six SATA ports, an Intel I225-V 2.5 GbE Ethernet controller, with an Intel AX201 Wi-Fi 6 CNVi module. The Z490 Aorus Master WaterForce also includes four memory slots with support for up to DDR4-5000, with a maximum capacity of 128 GB. It also includes a Realtek ALC1220-VB HD audio codec which is assisted by WIMA FKP2 studio-grade audio capacitors.
What makes it unique is that it includes a monoblock which is designed to cool the processor and the board's power delivery. Supplied with the GIGABYTE Z490 Aorus Master WaterForce is a 360 mm AIO cooler which includes three 120 mm double ball bearing RGB fans which can be controlled with GIGABYTE's RGB Fusion software. GIGABYTE claims that the AIO cooler is easy to install, with just four screws required to mount it onto the motherboard.
GIGABYTE hasn't unveiled current MSRP pricing, nor has it announced when the Z490 Aorus Master WaterForce motherboard will hit the retail shelves. We expect this will be within the coming month.

drexnx - Monday, August 3, 2020 - linkI wonder how they're doing the VRM cooling, a custom pump design and block, or a chunky heatspreader to tie everything together with an off the shelf pumpblock
Makaveli - Monday, August 3, 2020 - linkMy guess is probably the Chunky Heatspreader.
jeremyshaw - Monday, August 3, 2020 - linkLooks like two heatpipes that connect to the main block.
bigboxes - Monday, August 3, 2020 - linkOoooh! RGB, baby! Good thing it's hooked up to an Aorus mobo to maximize that RGB goodness. Now, all you'll need is a wing and fart can. Should go 6Ghz no problem!
sonny73n - Wednesday, August 5, 2020 - linkLet’s all take a guess of how much this board will cost. I say $550.
Dorkaman - Wednesday, August 5, 2020 - linkIs it a good copper radiator or a cheap thin aluminum one?
And RGB Fusion software is horrible.
Hxx - Wednesday, August 12, 2020 - linkperfect for an Aorus fanboy. GB has always had some fantastic hardware for the price , its the software side of things were it all falls apart. Their software suite is just bad definitely worse than Asus or MSI from my experience which is really a shame because i really like their boards, cards and their hardware in general.
techilife - Monday, September 28, 2020 - linkAmazing one. Thanks for sharing this post is so informative and helpful. I really find solution to our problem.
chuckwalker - Monday, September 28, 2020 - linkI love that it comes with cooling monoblock and the whole combo is cool! https://essaycreate.com/ is a helpful tool for students

1. Disable App Notifications
Bugged by annoying app notifications that just keep coming? If you don’t know already, these app notifications also drain your phone’s battery. If you want to turn them off, and you are on Jelly Bean 4.1 and above, here’s how:
- On any of your unwanted notifications in your notification bar, long presson the notification for a message box to appear.
- Tap on App Info > Untick Show Notifications > OK.
2. Disable Mobile Data
Whenever you don’t need to stay connected, disabling the Mobile Data can help keep your smartphone battery from draining too quickly. Turning off mobile data is as easy as:
- Going to Settings > Data Usage.
- Disable Mobile data by toggling the setting from ON to OFF.
3. Set Mobile Data Limit
Want to keep track of how far your usage is from your monthly mobile data limit? If you have ICS and above, there is a feature which lets you keep track of how much of the quota you have left.
- Head over to Settings > Data Usage.
- Set your data limit by dragging the orange line to reflect your monthly quota.
- Set your data usage cycle based on when your “month” starts and ends, and you’re done.
You will be alerted once you hit the limit you have set. Note that the tracked data usage of your phone may vary slightly than your carrier’s tracking.
4. Add Multiple Google Accounts
You need a Google account to use an Android phone but did you know you can choose to run more than one Google account on your Android device. This is convenient if you use more than one account for several of your Google services. To add multiple Google accounts:
- Go to Settings > Add account.
- Select Google and setup your New or Existing Google account.
- Once added, choose what you want to sync with the account.
Repeat all the steps above if you want to add more accounts.
5. Disable automatic App Updates
Prefer to read through app permissions and manually pick which app updates to adopt? You can, but first you need to disable your automatic app updates. Here are the steps:
- Open Play Store and head over to Settings.
- Tap on Auto-update apps.
- Choose Do not auto-update apps.
If you want to enable the auto updates, follow the same path and choose Auto-update apps at any time or via Wi-Fi (available for certain Android devices only).
To update your apps manually, just open Play Store, and on the main page swipe in from the left and tap on My apps. You can tap on apps with pending updates and update them manually, or if you like to update them all at once, just tap on Update All.
6. How To Check For android System updates
For Android users that are using stock ROM, you may want to look for new updates to your system. To check for updates:
- Go to Settings > About phone/tablet.
- Tap on System updates.
- Tap Check now to look for system updates.
7. Changing Default Apps
If you have already set some default apps for particular tasks (e.g. using Chrome for opening web links) but wish to change this:
- Go to Settings > Apps.
- Swipe right and look for the All tab.
- Select the app you want to remove as default.
- Tap on Clear defaults.
8. Organize Homescreen Shortcuts With Folders
Once you have a lot of apps installed, your homescreen might be filled with app shortcuts. Unlike the app drawer, the apps on your home screen are not arranged alphabetically. So, you might want to create some folders for your homescreen shortcuts.
- Assuming you have more than a handful of shortcuts already on your homescreen, long press on any of the shortcuts and drag it onto another shortcut.
- A circle should now appear around the apps, indicating that a folder has been created.
- By tapping on the newly created folder, a mini window will pop up with your apps in it.
- You can drag and drop additional apps into the folder if you like. You can also rename the folder by tapping on the text area at the bottom of the mini window.
9. Disable Animations
Here’s a tip on how to make your Android device run a bit smoother: disable its animations. You will need to have access to Developer Options which can be found under Settings or About device.
Note: For some phones, you may need to go to Build number and tap on it repeatedly until you see “You are now a developer!”. Developer options are now enabled.
Under enabled Developer options, look for Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale. Then, turn them off (disable) them one at a time.
10. How to Turn Off Auto-Correction
Hate the fact that your phone is going English teacher mode on you? Turn off auto-correction for peace of mind when texting.
- Go to Settings > Language & input.
- Tap on the settings icon next to the keyboard that you are using, e.g. Google Keyboard.
- Look for Auto-correction and tap on it.
- Select Off to turn auto-correction off.

I had a very.bad.day.of.eating. Very bad. This always happens when I say I am going to entirely cut out certain foods. I guess restricting for so long has built up some resentment with my willpower and it completely fights against me at the first sign of anything resembling a diet. This is especially frustrating because I truly want to lose weight in a healthy way, but I can’t seem to get there.
I love this blog because I feel like I really put myself out there and am completely honest with you all. So, I’m being honest when I say that I ate a huge amount of junk food today, food I don’t even really enjoy that much. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t stop.
I don’t want to rehash it. I will start fresh tomorrow. So I leave you with a new recipe. This is actually a super simple family recipe my Grams used to make when my mom was a kid. Frijoles with spinach – basically you mix up all the ingredients and heat ’em up. But, you obviously should like beans and spinach to like this:)
Frijoles con Spinach
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 cups pinto beans (cooked)
1 can spinach (you can use fresh, but this is what Grams used)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can whole tomatoes
1/2 chopped onion
2 Tbsp minced garlic
salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne
1. Heat oil in pan, add onions and saute. Add minced garlic.
2. Drain spinach well and add to pan with onions
3. Drain both cans of tomatoes and add to pan.
4. Season to taste. Most of these ingredients are very plain on their own and do require a good amount of salt & pepper – add other spices to your liking 🙂
5. Heat thoroughly and enjoy!!!

Durga: Mother, warrior and the dance of shadow and light
HOW TO APPLY THE LESSONS FROM DURGA’S ARCHETYPE AND MYTHOLOGY IN YOUR PRACTICE AND YOUR LIFE!
Join me for a free masterclass this weekend, exploring Durga’s symbolism and mythology, also inclusive of a practice to unlock this powerful energy. Bring your journal and pen, bring your mat for practice. Also bring your open mind and a sense of curiosity and play.
WHY THE GODDESS DURGA?
The goddess, Durga, is an important figure in the Shakta tradition. She’s a mother, a warrior and a fierce protector of dharma. In mythology, she often appears as a demon slayer.
What do these demons represent? Our shadow.What is she fighting to restore? Our light.
Not only is Durga a fierce mother, she’s also a key figure in the Devi Mahatmyam, a 6th century text and, in fact, the first (within the Tantric tradition) to formally place ‘the goddess’ at the center of spiritual practice.
Archetypes like hers can be powerful tools for transformation. By exploring them, we unlock their energies in our own lives.
What we'll cover together in this free masterclass...
- An introduction to the deities of the Tantric tradition (generally) and to Durga (specifically)
- An exploration of how the energies of the deities (generally) and Durga (specifically) can be experienced in your own personality, in society, in the natural and in your spiritual practice
- Guidance for how you can explore Durga's energy in your own life (including where that relationship feels comfortable, and where it might feel more confronting)
- A direct experience of her energy through a complete practice (inclusive of asana, pranayama and meditation).
COME AS YOU ARE
There’s no prerequisite for this free masterclass, all ages and backgrounds will find value in the special content I’ll be sharing.
Together we’ll explore Durga’s archetype and mythology, and do a practice to draw on her energy.
BRAND NEW CONTENT
I’ve not shared this content before, and you won’t find the learnings delivered this way in any of my other courses or workshops.
This masterclass will be available for 48 hours only.
Get comfortable with your best notepad and slip into student mode for this 90-minute video masterclass, available online over the weekend from 9am Sat 28th - Midnight Sun 29th May.
A word to the wise: I like to stay ahead of the curve. My courses, trainings and free resources are always being tweaked and updated so you are always served the best experience possible. That means that this masterclass may not be free next time, and on this occasion you'll be able to access the content anytime from 9am, Saturday 28th May to midnight on Sunday 29th May.

This Has Been Hailed As The Worst Call Ever
During last night’s Rockies and Dodgers game the worst call in the history of baseball took place. Jerry Hairston hit a ball to third. The guy at third made a great play and got the ball to first quickly. The only problem when the ball got to first Todd Helton, Helton wasn’t stepping on first. That’s right Hairston was called out at first even though Helton never touched first.
Click HERE to watch the play. You have to scroll through the video’s on the right to see the video. Second video from the bottom.
Now that you have seen the play, it’s now time for you to vote on how close this play actually was.

We see the museum as a platform for dialogue. Through a series of exhibitions, we invite architects from different geographies and contexts to share their perspective on pressing issues in the discipline and to critically reframe their work in a process of exchange and debate.
Embedded in politically and economically charged sites in the Pearl River Delta, Mongolia and the European Union, Rural Urban Framework (Joshua Bolchover and John Lin) and 51N4E (Johan Anrys and Freek Persyn) operate in expanded ecologies of architectural practice, questioning the role of the architect today. By collaborating with policymakers, local contractors and NGOs and engaging their respective labs at the University of Hong Kong and ETH Zürich as key sites of research, both offices investigate new forms of cooperation and dialogue as crucial design strategies.
RUF and 51N4E work at the seams of urbanization, with projects situated in transitional settlements in Ulaanbaatar, in the new vernacular of rural China, in the transforming centres of Western European cities and in Albania’s shifting public spaces. Comparing their research and design processes, this exhibition and publication question the extents and certainties of architecture against backdrops of indeterminate notions of citizenship, unstable stages of urbanization, and insecure economies and ecologies.
Curator: Francesco Garutti, CCA
Concept: Johan Anrys, Joshua Bolchover, John Lin, and Freek Persyn
Curatorial research and coordination: Irene Chin with Andrew Scheinman and Jann Wiegand
Exhibition design: 51N4E (Freek Persyn with Roxane Le Grelle and Sébastien Roy), Brussels; Rural Urban Framework (Joshua Bolchover and John Lin with Chiara Oggioni), Hong Kong

Bevan, R.; (2011) Screening the L.A.P.D.: cinematic representations of policing and discourses of law enforcement in Los Angeles, 1948-2003. Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader|
This thesis examines cinematic representations of the L.A.P.D. within the context of discourses of law enforcement in Los Angeles and contends that these feature films constitute a significant strand within such discourse. This contention, which is based upon the various identifiable ways in which the films engage with contemporary issues, acknowledges that the nature of such engagement is constrained by the need to produce a commercially viable fictional entertainment. In four main chronological segments, I argue that it is also influenced by the increasing ethnic and gendered diversity of film-makers, by their growing freedom to screen even the most sensitive issues and by the changing racial and spatial politics of Los Angeles. In the 1940s and 1950s, the major studios were prepared to illustrate some disputed matters, such as wire-tapping, but represented L.A.P.D. officers as white paragons of virtue and ignored their fractious relationships with minority communities. In the aftermath of the Watts riot of 1965, racial tensions were more difficult to ignore and, under a more liberal censorship regime, film-makers―led by two independent African American directors―began to depict instances of police racism and brutality. Between the major L.A.P.D. anti-gang initiative of 1988 and the Rodney King beating of 1991, two films were released which tackled the inter-related issues of gang violence and the controversial nature of the police response. In the febrile atmosphere of the time, each found itself at the centre of local discourses of law enforcement. Then, in the wake of the King beating, Los Angeles and its police force endured the 1992 riots, the trial of O.J. Simpson and the Rampart scandal. These highly publicised events, which gave the L.A.P.D. a world-wide reputation for racism, brutality and corruption, also informed several movies in which the misdeeds of filmic policemen outstripped even the worst excesses of their real-life counterparts.

Common Ballet Injuries – Prevention Tips
When it comes to ballet there aren’t a whole lot of dancers out there who can honestly say that they have never had an injury. Whether it’s an injury as major or career ending as an Achilles tendon rupture or an injury as minor as a shin splint, it is imperative that the root of the problem be discovered.
Luckily today there are preventative measures being taken by ballet companies and schools lead by younger artistic staffs to keep dancers fine tuned. In the past there were ballet teachers and company artistic directors who were not educated on injury prevention for dancers, thus indirectly encouraging dancers to continue through injuries shortening the life of their career.
Common injuries for dancing include (but are not limited to);
Lower back pain
Check out a complete list on the Harkness Center for Dance Injuries website. It’s very helpful.
Of course there are ways to prevent some of these injuries through core conditioning, pilates, strength training, and ballet cross training. Most ballet companies have on site physical therapists who work with dancers daily aches and pains and can prescribe a correct physical therapy routine. There is also the Ballet Strength DVD which has a library of exercises that you can do to prevent injury and improve strength.
As dancers today, there is no excuse to allow the body to be plagued by injury and pain. With all of the helpful resources available dancers are extending their careers well into their 30’s. Don’t wait to address your injury prone areas…you don’t want to wait until it’s too late!

Pahirapan ang laban! Poe leads senatorial race as 7 bets fight for last 4 slots in ‘Magic 12’- Pulse Asia
Seven candidates are fighting for a chance to win the senatorial race in Pulse Asia’s latest voter preference survey, which continues to be dominated by Senator Grace Poe.
Results of the survey conducted from March 23 to 27 nationwide showed Poe in solo first place, with close to 73 percent of respondents saying they will vote for her.
Poe is followed by re-electionist senators Cynthia Villar and Sonny Angara, who’s ranked third to fourth place.
At Angara’s heels is former Special Assistant to the President Christopher “Bong” Go, with a rank of third to fifth place. He is followed by Taguig City Rep. Pia Cayetano, who is ranked fourth to sixth place, and former senator Lito Lapid, ranked fifth to eight place.
Tied for the sixth to ninth rank are Philippine National Police chief Ronald Dela Rosa and Senator Nancy Binay. They are followed by former senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., who is ranked seventh to 10th place.
Fighting for the remaining places, from ninth to 12th, are the following: Ilocos Norte governor Imee Marcos (ranked 9 to 12), former Presidential Adviser on Political Affairs Francis Tolentino and Jinggoy Estrada (ranked 10 to 16), former senator Serge Osmeña and re-electionist Senators Bam Aquino and Koko Pimentel (all ranked 11 to 16) and former senator Mar Roxas (ranked 11 to 17).
Pulse Asia’s respondents were asked who they would vote for senator if the elections were held during the survey period. They were allowed to choose up to 12 politikos as their preferred candidates.

Parents walking kids to school is beneficial in many ways, including being a healthy way for parents to bond with their kids. However, Principal Holly Ray of Bear Branch Elementary School in Magnolia, Texas doesn’t see it that way. She wants parents walking kids to school to be charged and arrested.
The new policy was created to make student drop off and pick up safer, but many parents are outraged at Principal Holly Ray’s harsh enforcement of the rule. Now instead of parents walking kids to school, students are being forced to take the bus, or wait with their parents in car drop off lanes.
Despite numerous complaints from parents, Principal Holly Ray has been steadfast in standing behind her new policy. She has received the full support of the Magnolia Independent School District and now has Montgomery County Constables enforcing the rule. This extreme action has parents pulling their kids out of the school and even has teachers quitting.
There have already been several citations and warnings against parents walking kids to school. Frank Young, a parent who has been threatened with charges and arrest, said he disagreed with Principal Ray “implying that a parent doesn’t have the ability or capability to decide what is safest for her children.”

Unlike most mattress review sites, we physically try every single bed that we review. We gather information from official sources and evaluate the construction, firmness ratings, cooling factors, and more... all in all, over 2 dozen data points for comparison.
The boxed mattress has now become a very popular choice of bed for consumers due to the shop from home ease, effortless delivery and setup, as well as the lower price point. We’re here to help you decode the complex process of picking the best bed in a box… our experts review them in depth, including looking at cost, construction, cooling, durability, trial period and warranty.
Pick a Mattress with the Right Firmness
With the right firmness being vital in choosing a mattress, a medium firm universal firmness of 5.5 – 6.5 out of 10 should fit right in the comfort zone for the vast majority of sleepers.
Research the Mattresses Materials (Look for Extra Support & Cooling Layers)
Materials offering extra support and cooling layers are what provide the most comfort – to ensure durability look for a high-density support core of around 7.5-inches along with a special supportive contouring foam layer – in addition, if you sleep hot, you’ll want to make sure there are cooling layers that create air flow, wick away heat, and are made with specific technology to provide all-night cooling.
Check Reviews & Recommendations
Be sure to read verified reviews and expert recommendations to see how the mattress performs.
Look for a long Sleep Trial & Warranty
A sleep trial of at least 100 nights along with a long warranty of at minimum 10-15 years are generally a good signal that the mattress company stands behind the quality of their bed.
Make Sure the Return Policy is Hassle Free
Buying a mattress online, sight-unseen and untested can be a scary experience. We recommend seeking out mattreses that offer excellent hassle-free return policies and provide easy pickup without any fees within the trial period time.

Pennsylvania's 12th congressional district special election, 2010 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
House race has 3rd hopeful » Local News » The Tribune Democrat, Johnstown, PA: "JOHNSTOWN — By now, many voters have heard about Critz and Burns battling for the 12th Congressional District.
But what about Agoris?
That would be Demo Agoris, a Washington County Libertarian who will be the third candidate listed on the May 18 special-election ballot that will determine who fills the unexpired term of the late U.S. Rep. John Murtha.
Agoris knows he doesn’t have a big chance for success against Democrat Mark Critz and Republican Tim Burns. But he is trying to spread his message of “less government, more freedom and less taxes” as far as possible.
“I believe that it should be ‘power to the people,’ ” Agoris said."
CSPAN on tonight's debate (with interview with tonight's co-moderator) that should air Saturday at 8PM (according to one article)
the debate itself will be posted here when it airs:
The tribune-democrat also lists Demo here:
Unfortunately, the LP is ignored here:
We'll see how Demo does against the 2% projected here...people are pretty fed up with the status quo:

mad for mod floral.
Nothing beats a vintage floral with a vintage mod skirt.
This entire outfit was found at my local thrift store (bag not included.)
A good pair of velvet heels never disappoints.
I love finding entire outfits that end up being vintage & a perfect match for one another.
Thanks for looking <3

Verizon installed a temporary cell phone tower at the Arizona ranch owned by Republican presidential candidate John McCain and his wife Cindy McCain and AT&T followed suit, the Washington Post reported today. Both companies deny any ethical wrongdoing, stating that cell coverage is essential wherever there’s a presidential candidate.
In Verizon’s case, the McCains sought to get a permanent tower installed several months before the U.S. Senator was a viable candidate. Whether that process involved special favors is a matter of dispute, the newspaper said.
Verizon said the McCains applied for coverage at their property just like any customer would, however, industry sources told the newspaper that no wireless carrier would normally install an expensive tower – whether permanent or portable – for an area so sparsely populated.

We are very lucky at the Centre, to have such a committed community of supporters.
We are often asked, what is the most helpful way to give, and the reality is, that the best way to support the Centre is through regular giving. Even a few pounds a month is a great gift to us, as it is funding we can rely on, rather than just hoping that enough people will make a donation.
Our regular givers, automatically become members of the George Basil Hume Foundation, and their regular gifts help to give the Centre, and so the people we help the stability they need.
You can sign up online or download a form to sign and send in. George Basil Hume Foundation members will receive invitations to special events, such as an annual Mass on the anniversary of Cardinal Hume’s death in June and more news from the Centre.

RENEWED worries about the global economy dragged Britain’s top share index to its lowest close in nearly three months yesterday, with commodity stocks falling sharply and drugmaker AstraZeneca dipping on weak results.
The FTSE 100 ended down 1.4 per cent, or 71.73 points, at 5,145.74, its lowest close since 6 November, after the index finished down 1.1 per cent on Wednesday in a volatile session.
The index is down 4.9 per cent on the month, on track for its worst month since February 2009 but is still up 49 per cent since touching a six year trough last March.
Commodity stocks were the main weight on the index as raw material prices dropped, pressured after US weekly jobless claims and durable goods data cast more doubt on the idea that the global economy can make a swift recovery, sending US markets sharply lower.
Rio Tinto, Xstrata, Lonmin, Kazakhmys and BHP Billiton fell 2.5 to 4.3 per cent.
Persistent concerns over the fiscal health of Greece also fed into a sense that the markets face a rough ride in the coming months.
“The Greek thing is knocking around, the news out there is not good, its very nervy at the moment,” said Nick Serff, a strategist at City Index.
Energy stocks were also weaker as lower crude prices crimped demand for the sector. Cairn Energy, BP and Royal Dutch Shell fell 1.2 to 2.8 per cent.
Banks, which had been strong performers earlier in the day ended lower, pressured after an Standard & Poor’s report said the United Kingdom was no longer among the most stable and low-risk banking systems in the world, even though the report was an expanded version of a previous document.
Barclays, HSBC, Standard Chartered, Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group fell 0.5 to 1.3 per cent.
AstraZeneca was the top blue-chip laggard, down 4.6 per cent after the Anglo-Swedish drugmaker gave a downbeat forecast for 2010 with fourth-quarter earnings that missed expectations.
Peers GlaxoSmithKline and Shire fell 0.8 and 1.6 per cent, respectively.
Carnival was the top performer among a select group of stocks in positive territory, up 1.6 per cent and reaching their highest level since September 2008 after rival Royal Caribbean’s fourth-quarter earnings beat market expectations.
Also among the gainers was British private equity firm 3i Group, which was 0.5 per cent higher after the company said it started 2010 in a strong financial position, building on the performance of the previous quarter.
“The weakness is a continuation of the concerns of overvaluation that have dogged markets for the past couple of weeks. With some significant data out of the US?today, any slight missing of expectations, with markets still clearly jittery, could mean a more prolonged sell-off,” said IG?Index strategist David Jones.

Last weekend on Twitter, I responded to Ibrahim Moustafa (@Ibrahim_M_), and then kept on thinking about the exchange.
It’s absolutely true. During my teaching career, I had many, many students from not only the seven countries affected by the executive order banning entry to the U.S., I had students from other majority-Muslim countries not affected by the ban (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc.). I had Latino students in my classes. I had Asian students. I also had colleagues from a wide variety of countries over the years. Truly, never did I feel threatened by any of them, not even immediately after 9/11 when we were all severely on edge. The (mostly) young men from these countries were invariably hard-working, respectful, and determined that they were here to make the most of this opportunity for education.
It would seem that the statistics so far bear me out:
From the looks of it, I should be a lot more nervous about my four-year-old niece accidentally shooting me.
You know who makes me nervous today, who made me feel threatened at times while I taught computer science?
Not all white males. Before I retired, the computer nerds and I got along just fine because I was one of them. Military veterans didn’t bother me either — those guys might look and act very macho, but somewhere along the way they learned discipline and respect for others.
You probably know the type that makes me nervous. Conservative gun-toting “God-fearing” men that are convinced that our country has gone to hell in a handbasket because of women, blacks, immigrants, and gays. Students in my classes knew better than to say anything, but you could tell who they were. Heaven forbid you ever got into an exchange with them on social media!
I was never sure when one of them just might snap and target me or a fellow student as one of the 11,737 for the current year.
The Islamic Bogeyman Terrorist Under The Bed? I’m not worried. I’m in much more danger getting behind the wheel of my car here in Atlanta. The White Male With A Flag And A Gun? I’ll be looking over my shoulder until he’s out of sight, and the statistics support me there.

View Full Version : How much yarn for socks?
04-28-2008, 11:39 PM
I probably didn't use the right search words, because I couldn't find my answers.
How much sock yarn does it take to knit two socks? I realize gauge and size make a difference, but for an average knitter, if you decide to make socks, do you typically buy a 50 gm ball? Two 50 gm balls? Help!
Jan in CA
04-29-2008, 12:49 AM
It depends on foot size and yarn weight, but I'd say average for fingering weight is about 450 yards. That seems to be about 100 grams.
Here's another estimate.
04-29-2008, 08:52 AM
Thanks, that was about what I figured...I was just having trouble finding that info!
04-29-2008, 10:11 AM
Always buy 2 skeins for a pair of socks when it says 50g ball, to be on the safe side buy 3 or 4 depending on the ankle length.
I'm a bit peeved about having bought 4 skeins of (50g each) of dk weight yarn to make ankle socks for the summer. I'd bought 2 skeins of fingering weight and made a pair of socks with some left over, so I thought with these I'd get 2 pairs out of each skein for a total of 8 socks as they were only ankle socks - NO WAY, JOSE! I had one sock only for each skein with a tiny bit left over. Must be the different weight yarn. I hate that. Live and learn. On the upside - at least I get to buy more yarn! :p

I’m a 25-year-old action sports photographer from Nijmegen, the Netherlands with a keen interest in light and analog film techniques. I graduated as a media-designer, studying photography and afterwards had the choice between choosing a driver's license and a camera. I chose the latter! So far it’s been an amazing decision.
I first started shooting my local BMX friends on vacations. I’ve been shooting serious-ly since 2008. I broke my elbow at the end of that year and kind of slowed down with riding and took on the filming and shooting aspect of it.
Fast forward to now and I am still enjoying it as much as I did when I got my first DSLR, except now on a way more serious and wider level, with way more traveling. These days I’m shooting with a Canon 5D Mark II, a strobist setup, Hasselblad, large format and various 35mm cameras

Cats, despite what many owners may like to think, are like all living creatures and will need to periodically relieve themselves. Now, unless you have trained your feline friend to do that nifty trick from Meet The Parents, this means that you will need to clean the kitty litter box. Now, cleaning cat litter may not seem like a very difficult or complicated task, but the truth is that if you don't do it the correct way your home can easily end up smelling like you wouldn't believe. To ensure that you do it the right way, simply follow these simple steps.
- Gather your tools. Before you can actually begin cleaning cat litter you need to make sure that you get all the tools and supplies together that you will need to use. Primarily these tools will be the following items: rubber gloves, hot water, soap, bleach, clean rags, kitty litter, newspaper, cat box liners, and a large trash bag.
- Be careful. Once you have gathered all the tools and supplies that you will need, put on the rubber gloves. Ideally, you can use the disposable medical style rubber gloves, but if you can't afford those then use a pair of gloves that you have dedicated solely to this use. The gloves will help protect you from accidentally touching any of the mess left by the cat with your skin. It would also be a good idea to line the floor where you will be working with some old newspaper to catch any accidents.
- Empty the box. If you have already lined your litter box with liners, than simply remove the liner and the dirty kitty litter and dispose of the two into a large trash bag. In the event that you have not, then you will need to carefully slide the litter box into a large open trash bag. Dump the contents of the box into the bag, and then tie the bag off. Dispose of the trash bag as quickly as possible.
- Scrub and sanitize. Using hot water, bleach, and some clean rags, be sure that the interior of the litter box is nice and clean. Do this by simply washing the litter box the same way that you would your dishes. Depending on how dirty the box was, and whether or not you had any liners in place, you may need to wash the box a few times to get it really clean. After you have washed the box, rub the interior down with bleach to help sanitize it. Once it has been sanitized, rinse the box out to remove any remaining traces of bleach.
- Dry and line. Either allow your litter box to air dry, or use a clean towel to dry the box off. Once the box has been dried place a liner into the box. These liners can dramatically reduce the amount of cleaning that you have to do, and also help ensure that the litter box stays sanitary.
- Refill with good stuff. Now that you have cleaned the litter box, it is time to refill it with some kitty litter. While most cat litter brands will work the same, it is a good idea to choose a brand that will help reduce or eliminate odors. Be sure that you do not over fill the box, you really only need to fill the box 1/3 of the way full.
You may like cats, and you may like reclining chairs, but you shouldn't mix the two. Cats and reclining chairs is a set ...

University leadership pulled the plug yesterday on Jeff Long’s 10-year run as director of athletics for Arkansas.
Volumes could be written from many angles about Long’s tenure at the University; but today we’re here to discuss money, specifically Jeff Long’s ability to negotiate contracts for himself.
Jeff Long, Arkansas AD, is one of, if not the very highest paid director of athletics in the country…and man, it gets better (or worse depending on how you look at it).
Until this week, every media who covered Arkansas athletics, and every national media member we’ve seen was under the impression Long’s contract ended in June 2018. Countless articles were written under this premise for the past few months, many just in the last few weeks as it became more clear a decision on Jeff’s future at Arkansas was coming.
What was believed to have been the amended contract Long was operating under came about in 2013 under the premise that Long was a “serious finalist for the same position at the University of Texas” included substantial raises over Long’s previous contract. Long’s new salary, effective with his 2013 amendment became $615,000.
Arkansas cuts the cord yesterday…and oh, what’s that? The University owes him $4.6 million?
Wait, what? That’s not what his amended contract which ends in June 2018 says.
Well, it turns out Long negotiated a new contract for himself effective July 2015. Was this 2015 contract amendment every announced or made available to the media or public before this week? No. But that is a matter for another day. What is fascinating is what Long was able to negotiate for himself in 2015 with no visible competing interests.
As a reminder, at the time Long’s contract paid him $615,000 per year, running through June 2018.
Long hired Bret Bielema before the 2013 season. The Hogs went 3-9 that year. In the 2014 season the Hogs went 6-6 in the regular season and beat the Texas in their bowl game.
In July 2015, Long negotiated the following:
New years – Now running through June 2020…and ever green, such that if no one notified him to the contrary, every year on July 1, the contract extended for another year. (WHAT???!!!)
New salary – Long’s annual salary was increased to $750,000 plus the potential for annual salary increases. Arkansas Times reports public databases put his current annual salary at $1 million.
New incentives – The amendment adds that if Arkansas athletics do any four of the following seven things, Jeff Long receives $250,000 every year.
- All teams avoid APR scholarship penalties
- Overall graduation rate for athletes equals or exceeds graduation rate for all students, or at least 50% of athletes achieve a 3.0.
- Long “maintains good citizenship”
- Football participates in a bowl game
- Men’s or women’s basketball team makes the tournament
- Any other team participates in post season competition
- The department maintains a balanced budget
In addition to the $250,000 which is all but guaranteed, Long has a full page of “extraordinary incentives” such as $100,000 if the men’s basketball team wins the SEC or $50,000 if 80% of athletes graduate.
In fact, Long’s incentives seem so easily “earned” that Arkansas wrote a specific provision capping his incentives at $1.1 million per year.
For those unfamiliar with what most Power 5 athletic directors make, these numbers are off the charts… and the ever green feature is virtually unheard of. USA Today reports only 4 ADs make over $1.2 million. Nearly every Power 5 AD makes between $600,000 and $900,000. Jeff Long’s base salary has reportedly risen to $1 million and he puts an easy $250,000 in the bank by basically being a decent human being, and can pocket up to another $850,000 per year in other incentives. $2 million per year to be Arkansas’ AD….and with a contract that rolls forward every year? Wow.
Add on top, that if the University ever decided to part ways with him, that they would owe him $4.6 million and man, you simply have to be impressed with Long’s negotiating prowess. I tip my cap to Mr. Long for getting what he could. Haven’t seen many, if any, others do it better. Capitalism at its finest.
I’m not opining on his service as director of athletics; but man, I sure would recommend hiring Jeff Long to negotiate your next contract.

PTI denial appeal was denied.
The initial court time was 9:00am but it was postponed for 1:30pm. I had the afternoon off to study some more before my Ultrasound Physics Registry Exam tonight at 5:30pm, so I quickly made the decision that losing out $200 for the test registration was worth being at court with DH. (I couldn't take off work to be there this morning, because other people's ovaries don't care about my personal life ;) - and, I love that I can be available for people when they need it.)
I tried so hard to not break down after the ruling, to be strong for DH, just as I had told him beforehand that even the worst case scenario would mean that someday we can attempt fostering. And I wasn't lying. I really felt, before we went in, that everything would be ok, NO MATTER WHAT the outcome. But for some reason (um, maybe because there was a friggin' PREGNANT LADY sitting right smack in front of me in the courtroom the entire time- what the hell?????!!!) I just lost it thinking about not being able to adopt.
Friends, I need your prayers now more than ever. I know God has a plan for us. Please pray that He will bring lightness out of this darkness.
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for us.
St Joseph, pray for us.
St Anthony, pray for us.
St Rita, pray for us.

An Introduction to PromotersPromoters are upstream sequences that regulate transcription. Promoters are usually short sequences and act as binding sites for a variety of different RNA polymerases. Promoters have different binding affinities based on their sequence and can be characterized in a matter of different ways. Our project looks to measure some of these properties using fluorescence measurements. In our case, we are characterizing promoters that bind to RNA polymerase from the T7 phage. The T7 RNA polymerase binds to its promoter very tightly and produces a high amount of expression. The lac operator is a short sequence that binds to the LacI repressor, which prevents transcription. The LacI protein responds to lactose in the cell. Lactose analogs have been made which are not consumed by E. coli and "turn on" the gene of interest. Our promoters have different affinities to the T7 RNA polymerase and the LacI repressor and therefore have different measurable properties.
What is fluorescence, exactly?
Fluorescence is a property of some molecules, particularly aromatic organic dyes, that allows them to absorb photons at a certain wavelength and emit them at a longer, lower energy wavelength. Fluorescence is described using quantum mechanics principles and organic chemistry. Five and six-member rings tend to fluoresce brightly because of electron delocalization and the quantum properties that are associated with it. Fluorescent molecules come in a variety of flavors and uses based on their properties, and shape. Fluorescent molecules are known as fluorophores and can take the form of organic dyes or proteins. So far, many different types of fluorophores have been discovered, developed and studied in great detail. Typically, fluorescent proteins have a fluorophore that consists of a few side chains that react and form a complex similar to that of an organic dye. For example, GFP (the most common fluorescent protein) has an HBI fluorophore. Our Spinach construct binds to a dye that derives from this fluorophore. The fluorescence of a molecule can depend on conformation, in the case of our fluorogens, malachite green and DFHBI, which are conditional fluorophores, the molecule must be in a certain conformation to fluoresce. Otherwise, it will absorb photons, but it will emit them very inefficiently (extremely low quantum yield). Fluorescence is a widely studied phenomena and a lot of research is involved with improving current fluorescence technologies and its applications.
What is Spinach?
Spinach is an RNA sequence that can be expressed in cells (in this case, E. coli ) and fluoresces green when DFHBI (an organic dye) is bound to it that can be used to quantify RNA concentration in a cell. Spinach binds to an organic dye called DFHBI which doesn't fluoresce by itself but fluoresces very brightly when it is bound to Spinach. DFHBI is chemically derived from the chromophore in GFP but is altered to increase brightness when bound to RNA. Other fluorescent RNAs have been described but many are non-specific and have many unwanted functions like cytotoxicity. Other fluorescent RNAs also are difficult to quantify because the cells' RNases (RNA destroying enzymes) can cut out the fluorescent sequence at unpredictable times, making quantification impractical. Spinach utilizes a scaffold that derives from a tRNA sequence, which disguises the RNA so that some RNases leave it alone. RNase A has been shown to degrade Spinach, however. Manipulations to the sequence that Spinach is attached to allows for a variety of analyses functions. RNA can be arranged to bind to just about any small molecule in the same way that Spinach was developed (using a SELEX method) to track cellular metabolites. This allows for quantification of another important system in cells. However, in our system, Spinach is incorporated in the mRNA (between the promoter and the RBS) so mRNA is quantified. Click for more information on Spinach. Spinach is the first published RNA sequence of its kind and more sequence/dye combinations are in development; as a result, in years to come, multiple genes (both RNA and protein) can be analyzed in great detail simultaneously.
What is a FAP?
A fluorogen activating protein is a small (26-35kD) protein that derives from the variable region in an antibody. FAPs are not fluorescent unless a fluorogen (also not normally fluorescent) is added, in which case the FAP changes the conformation of the fluorogen and the complex fluoresces brightly. FAPs are currently used to tag certain proteins like actin or tubulin in mammalian cells. FAPs are primarily expressed in S. cerevisiae or mammalian cells although some variants have been expressed in E. coli. The two main dyes that the current series of FAPs bind to are malachite green and thiazole orange; our construct uses a variant that binds to malachite green. These dyes are normally cell impermeable but can be designed to penetrate cell membranes. As a result, they were originally used to tag surface proteins. FAPs are excellent reporters because they are small proteins that are soluble and have virtually no maturation time and are highly photostable unlike traditional variants of GFP. FAP technology is widely unexplored but shows promise for new fluorescent technology. FAPs have been used to track individual molecules to 5nm definition as opposed to the typical 200nm. Engineered dyes, called dyedrons, have been developed that increase fluorescence intensity and can allow researchers to improve on live cell imaging techniques. Different FAPs are genetically unique and respond to different excitation wavelengths so researchers can image multiple proteins at the same time in order to understand complex biological processes.
Why is this project important?
- The ability to monitor protein production with fluorescence is a growing field that promises advances in drug development and improving quality control in drug manufacturing.
- Promoter strength directly affects a cell's ability to perform typical functions like divide or move. Designing a genetic circuit that will not overload the cells is key in synthetic biology.
- Inducible promoters are widely used in synthetic biology but many are under-characterized.
Safety Information1. Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of researcher safety, public safety or environmental safety: Our project ideas do not raise any researcher safety issues. One of the dyes that we used is malachite green, which has the ability to cause low concentrations of free radicals as described by J.C. Liao et al . Even though there is a risk of a few free radicals being formed during measurements, all assay-ed micro-plates were properly disposed of and malachite green is relatively safe by itself. We only used non-pathogenic Escherichia. coli, which is a biosafety level 1 organism.. To facilitate the selection of E. coli, we transformed E. coli strains (DH5-alpha and BL21(DE3)) with ampicillin resistant genes. We also used BL21 (DE3) pLysS strain for gene expression, which contains a chloramphenicol resistance gene. While these antibiotic resistant strains may pose a threat to public safety if released from the lab environment, all safety protocols were followed and cells were disposed according to institutional requirements. Other than the use of antibiotic resistant strains as mentioned above, our project did not incorporate any biological components, which pose a threat to environmental safety. Regarding possible toxic chemicals used such as ethidium bromide for running gels, these chemicals were all disposed of according to institutional requirement. The researchers using ethidium bromide were required to read all of the MSDS forms and participate in chemical lab safety before handling the equipment.
2. Do any of the new BioBrick parts (or devices) that you made this year raise any safety issues? If yes, did you document these issues in the Registry? How did you manage to handle the safety issue? How could other teams learn from your experience? issues? If yes, No, our parts themselves do not pose any risks.
3. Is there a local biosafety group, committee, or review board at your institution? There is a biological safety committee here at Carnegie Mellon University that is part of the Environmental Health and Safety department. We are currently in the process of obtaining approval, and awaiting confirmation from the Institutional Biosafety Committee. We obeyed all of the federal, state and local laws pertaining to the disposal of hazardous waste and biohazard waste (including liquids, solids and sharps). Our project used only biosafety level 1 organisms. All of the chemicals we use in the lab have been cleared for laboratory use.
4. Do you have any other ideas how to deal with safety issues that could be useful for future iGEM competitions? How could parts, devices and systems be made even safer through biosafety engineering? One possible idea is to create an inducible (light-based) “kill-switch” in E. coli and yeast similar to the apoptotic pathways in mammalian cells using LovTAP. This would allow for easy disposal of cells, by simply placing the cells in a dark environment when we do not need them. A similar idea is to create a strain of E. coli with a knocked out metabolic pathway, causing it to depend on a laboratory supplied environment to survive (such as a chemical or light). This would be a more passive safeguard against an accidental release of the bacteria.

SAN ANTONIO — With seniors Matt Emery and Hunter Vest leading the way, the Lee men’s golf team will be deadlocked with St. Edward’s (Texas) heading into the final 18 of the 54-hole San Antonio Shootout on Tuesday.
The Flames were burning hot in the opening 18 on Monday, scorching the TPC San Antonio course with an even-par round of 288. However, the winds picked up on the TPC San Antonio Canyons course during the afternoon 18, and so did the scoring totals. Lee posted a 312, but that was good enough to remain in a two-way tie with St. Edwards at 600.
“I thought we came out of the gates really well this morning, and thank goodness we did,” said head coach John Maupin. “The wind really picked up in the afternoon and we just didn’t handle it as well as I know we can. We had too many big numbers in that second round.”
Emery had the lead after firing a 3-under 69 in the opening round. He slipped to a 77 during the afternoon and settled for a tie for second with three other golfers and finds himself 3 strokes behind the tourney leader, Mike Hearne (143) of Southern Nazarene.
Vest opened with a 70, but battled to fire a 77 in round 2 and his 147 earned a tie for fifth with two others. Next came sophomore Taylor Davis. After a 75 in the morning round, he dropped only two strokes in the afternoon and totaled a 153. He is knotted with seven others for the 25th position.
Newcomer Shea Sylvester is tied for 32nd and tallied the next score after rounds of 74-81 — 155. Sophomore Peyton started the day with a 77 and finished with a 79-156. He is tied with six others in a field that is very tight going into the final 18.
“We are in a good position for [Tuesday] and that’s what you want,” commented Maupin. “I think we can come out and build more on that first round. [It] will be a great opportunity to go head-to-head with some high caliber teams. We are looking forward to it.”

My grandfather, Robert R. Parra, was constantly fashioning little gadgets to solve annoying issues he encountered like keeping track of index cards or organizing all the television remotes. His house was filled with little trays, carts, and holders he made for himself, usually out of wood or plexiglass that would sort, organize and otherwise solve whatever issue was vexing him at the moment. I spent my childhood playing around in his woodshop making all sorts of little trinkets and I aquired the same sort of knack (curse?) for thinking up solutions and would often spend hours trying to create little devices and work-arounds.
I have, over the years, come up with solutions for minor issues I've encountered and offer them up here. If you have the same problems and think my solutions would work for you, drop a few bucks and try them out and offer me some feedback. I'd love a picture of you putting these to use. Nothing here is gonna save the world, but might make your day go a little smoother.

We'd love to hear about it! Click here to go to the product suggestion community
I started a month ago to work with Sophos XG Home to see how it works.
I had a few problems in the virtuell environment of my NAS. I couldn't made updates without to be on place by my NAS.
I bought a ZOTAC and this is so far working very well. I had to buy one with WiFi and here is my question.
I didn't find any solution to activate the WiFi from Sophos itself.
There are just a few options:
Hi Wolfgang Ritter1
The wireless controller inside the Sophos XG firewall is for use with Sophos based access points only.
You would need to buy an access point from Sophos and then set it up by following article: https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/125170

The open flames, cooking oils, paper products and hot equipment present in a commercial kitchen have the potential for a fire to get out of control. Thousands of restaurants report fires every year. The National Fire Protection Association estimates that these fires cause an average of $246 million in property damage. A fire can ruin a business and lead to lost revenues. There are, however, a number of steps that business owners can take to prevent a fire from occurring and avoiding disaster.
Many of these fires can be attributed to grease buildup that can block up a restaurant’s system of ventilation. The grease will cause the ventilation to work less efficiently making your kitchen hotter and hotter until it gets to the point where it will ignite, causing a grease fire. A grease fire can rip through the ductwork of your ventilation system and cause damage throughout a building. Throwing water on a grease fire will only make matters worse as the water spread the grease out and only serve to make the fire larger.
One way to prevent grease fires is to train your staff on how to maintain a kitchen that is free of fire hazards and what to do in case a fire starts. Pointing out the location of and replacing fire extinguishers is essential and something that all staff should know about. It is also important to instruct employees to clean up any excess grease that they see. Making sure the kitchen exhaust hoods are grease-free is especially important in order to keep an optimal amount of air flow running through your ventilation.
A second important step to prevent restaurant grease fires is to schedule a regular Boston hood cleaning. Getting a professional to inspect and clean your ventilation system is the best way to ensure that it is working properly. The frequency of these exhaust hood cleaning visits will vary depending on the type of cooking being done in the kitchen. NFPA Fire Code calls for quarterly inspections of systems in high-volume operations and monthly inspections for systems serving solid-fuel cooking appliances.

WICHITA, Kan. Baked potatoes are a dinner-time staple, but they can sometimes take too long to prepare.
The makers of the Potato Express! say they can help. They say all you need is a microwave and all you have to do is put the freshly-washed potato in the bag, and in four minutes, you've got a perfectly-cooked spud.
Does the Potato Express! work as advertised? To find out, we enlisted the help of Mai Mijares, one of the owners of Top Crop Barbell, a locally-owned fitness facility, to put it to the test.

We bundled up every day at least once and sometimes twice from Friday through Monday (Chris didn't have to go to work until noon) and didn't go anywhere except a nearby sledding hill. Even church was cancelled this weekend!
Chris and Eleanor and I had some snowball fights in the yard while Jane napped inside. Eleanor was very specific about what she wanted to happen during these fights: "You go far away and stand up and I will run and tackle you and hit you with a snowball, okay? And say, 'no don't tackle me,' okay?"
I so much wanted to be a part of all the snow fun but we had to be mindful of sweet Jane who was still a little under the weather with RSV and the ear infection. One afternoon, I pulled a big comfy chair in front of the storm door so I could watch Chris and Eleanor play in the snow while I snuggled with Jane and this is what I saw...
We also made sure to get in a family movie night with hot chocolate and whipped cream.
The most fun we had though was sledding. We tried a local hill on Saturday morning, but it was sleeting/mini-hail so we were all miserable and in pain on any exposed skin. Chris ended up taking Eleanor over to our neighbors to sled on a small backyard hill.
After it stopped snowing Saturday, and since church was cancelled Sunday morning, we headed back out to the big hill Sunday morning. The sun was out so I wasn't too worried about Jane, though we did leave her in her carseat for the majority of our sledding excursion.
(Yes that is Jane being towed in her carseat behind Eleanor on the sled!)
And some videos - Jane's first sledding experience, Eleanor and Chris, and Eleanor by herself.
EBelly from Katie Stratton on Vimeo.
We've played as a family and played with friends. We had some friends over to play games during naptime Saturday afternoon and Chris went out to play poker with some guys Saturday evening. Eleanor has played with her neighborhood friends throughout the weekend, too. It's so fun having other kids her age within walking distance. What a special bond they will have.
Overall Eleanor has loved the snow except for the painful sleet experience on Saturday morning. Jane is unsurprisingly indifferent. After Christmas and New Years is over, all I wait for the rest of winter is snow! Any little bit here in Williamsburg generally gets everything shut down for a day since there is minimal plowing...so here's to more snow this season!

Marisa Tomei + Lady Gaga = Oscar?
"I would have Marisa Tomei play me," Lady Gaga recently said about which actress she'd like to see portray her on the silver screen. "I am such a Marisa Tomei fan. All my friends call me Marisa when I get angry, because my New York accent just flies out of my body and I start smacking my gum."
Tomei graciously accepted the compliment as she toured the promo circuit for "Lincoln Lawyer." She told the gals on "The View" that she admired Gaga's business sense as well as her singing. "I was so touched, really. I think it's incredible that she likes my work and that she'd think of me that way," she said. "I thought it was great."
Sure, the casting suggestion is preposterous considering Tomei is 46 and Lady Gaga is 24, but let's run with the idea for a bit. Is it preposterous to think Tomei might get nominated for — or win — an Oscar for portraying Lady Gaga if the film was really, really good? Few pundits thought she had a prayer to win in 1992 for her trashy, gum-snapping screen role in "My Cousin Vinny." After all, comedic roles rarely get noticed by academy voters.
Tomei will soon be teaming on screen with fellow New Yorker Sarah Jessica Parker in "Married and Cheating," an ensemble dramedy about unhappy couples working out their marital woes.
— Tom O'Neil

We offer Traditional and Classical Chinese Medicine care at all of our centers in Kingston, NY, Rhinebeck, NY and Danbury, CT. Treatments include acupuncture, qi healing, moxibustion, cupping, Gua sha, tui na, and herbal medicine. Care at our centers is based upon ancient principles of Chinese medicine, and energy balance. Treatments are very personally designed for each individual, to restore harmony and balance in the body, mind, and spirit, and energy system, through a holistic approach. Please call or email to schedule an appointment.
Acupuncture is an effective form of health care that has evolved into a complete and holistic medical system. Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive medical system to diagnose and help millions of people get well and stay healthy. An acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific acupuncture points on the body. This activates the body’s Qi and promotes natural healing by enhancing recuperative power, immunity and physical and emotional health. It can also improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.
Moxibustion is a treatment that uses an herb called mugwort. It may be burned on the handle of the needle, above the skin, on salt or on a slice of ginger. This is used to “warm” acupuncture points or areas in order to quicken the healing process.
An acupuncture facial treatment involves the insertion of acupuncture needles into fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck in order to reduce the visible signs of aging. In Oriental medicine, the meridians or pathways of Qi (energy) flow throughout the entire body from the soles of the feet up to the face and head; consequently, a facial acupuncture treatment addresses the entire body constitutionally, and is not merely “cosmetic”. An acupuncture facial involves the patient in an organic, gradual process that is customized for each individual. It is no way analogous to, or a substitute for a surgical “face life”. A treatment session may confine itself solely to facial acupuncture, or it may be used in conjunction with other procedures. Facial acupuncture can increase facial tone, decrease puffiness around the eyes, as well as bring more firmness to sagging skin, enhance the radiance of the complexion, and flesh out sunken areas. Customarily, fine wrinkles will disappear, and deeper ones be reduced. As this treatment is not merely confined to the face, but incorporates the entire body and constitutional issues of health.
Cupping is a therapy designed to stimulate the flow of blood and qi within the superficial muscle layers. It is used for many ailments including sore muscles, tension, neck pain and the common cold. In this therapy, your acupuncturist will place small glass or plastic “cups” over specific areas on your body. A vacuum is created under the cup using heat or suction. They may be moved over an affected area or left in place. Cupping usually leaves red marks and light bruising that will quickly dissipate.
Qi Gong is the art of exercising the Jing (essence), Qi (energy), and Shen (spirit). The nucleus of Qi Gong is the exercise of Yi (consciousness) and Qi (vital energy). The main purpose of these exercises is to regulate the internal functions of the human body. Qi Gong does this through developing consciousness and respiration, through causing the internal Qi to manifest in awareness, and through moving and strengthening the internal Qi. The internal Qi is the Qi belonging to the human body itself. Thus, Qi Gong brings self-regulation and self-control to the vital organs.
Tai Chi can be said to be a form of Qi Gong practicing energy for profound relaxation, health, balance, long life, youthfulness, happiness and peace of mind. But where Qi Gong is often a single of short sequence of movement done in one spot, Tai Chi is a series of movements done continuously, moving in space.
Tuina translates as “push grasp”. It is a therapeutic massage technique that moves Qi in various parts of the body. It is used to relieve muscle pain, tension and inflammation and to heal injuries.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine uses plants, animal products and mineral substances for therapy or medicinal purposes. It is the world’s most ancient form of healing. Many Chinese herbal formulas serve to strengthen the body and its many functional systems to prevent illness.
Qi healing is the use of universal energy for healing. The healer’s hands do not need to touch the body; treatment is painless; no needles, herbs or medicines are used. Healing of even severe illnesses and painful, chronic conditions can be instantaneous.

One More Time!
Updated: Aug 12, 2018
One of the harder things to master in training horses across disciplines is knowing when the session is done for the day. It’s a subject that not enough attention is paid and it takes experience. We have all heard someone shouting, "One more time!" again and again. Did it really help? I have seen trainers working horses without breaks and when another questioned, “don’t you think he needs a break?” the reply was, “pretty hard when he’s not done anything for it”. Meanwhile, the horse is dripping with sweat, with no clue what it was he supposed to do or how to get the pressure off. It is our job as the trainers, the horse’s teacher to show them how to find the right answer.
Learning to Seek Answers
Foundation training is a whole other subject, but it is important to mention that horses need to be taught how to look for the right answers in their foundation. They learn that they can be presented with a problem, they change something and the pressure goes away. This is the basic premise for negative reinforcement, not to be confused with punishment. A good trainer knows how to break concepts into pieces that the horse can understand and has the timing to release the pressure and reward at precisely the right time. If the horse isn’t getting the right answer, change the way you ask the question, or take a step back and make sure that the question you asked before it has a solid answer. Sometimes, the trainer needs to change their standards for that horse, for that day. Find something, any little piece that he might have done right.
One Step at a Time
I had the pleasure of riding with Fernando Branco Cintron, a Portuguese Dressage Master a few years ago and after that, Robert Gonzalez, a Western foundation trainer. It might seem odd that I would put these two trainers in the same sentence but one thing I learned from both was how easy the horse could understand when you taught them something literally one hoof at a time. I can teach a green horse a turn on the forehand much easier and with less stress one step at a time then if I would have asked for half a turn at once. More steps in the beginning does not mean more understanding. The horse that is asked to take many steps in the beginning will probably require an aid the whole way around the turn until the rider is done asking. A horse that is consciously asked for one step at a time and rewarded with a quick rest is likely to willingly take more steps around the turn without being aided the whole time. I would rather work with the latter!
Give me a Break!
Halting during the work session is also very important. Working with Fernando and Robert, we would stop and give the horse a long rein to reward him. Not walk on a loose rein, just stand. The horse is literally not being asked to do anything at that moment. Here is where they have a chance to process, sigh, lick and chew. Then you can move on and you have built their confidence. If your horse doesn’t want to stand, you need to take a step back and make sure that your in your foundation your horse is fine with where he is and doesn’t have somewhere else to be. I see many riders give their horse just one, maybe two breaks walking during a forty-five-minute session. Even though some horses appear to be able to go and go, their mind needs a break. Some horses will tell you through increased tension or teeth grinding (this is not the only reason for teeth grinding and it’s not always bad) that they need to stop a moment. For some horses if they are grinding they teeth, they you already know you have gone too far, try to find a good place before that happens. Sprinkling little short breaks halting and walking throughout could achieve so much more! We are human and sometimes it’s tough to find that space to take breaks when we get in our zone. Always be looking to catch them doing something right.
Finishing for the Day
“When you get the answer you want, hang up.” This is one of my favorite movie quotes from Moneyball. I always think of this line when teaching and training. Even small children have mastered this concept, if mom says yes, don’t ask again, she might change her mind! When teaching their horse something new, riders can fall into the trap of too much repetition because they are not sure if their horse actually “got it”. As if the repetition would teach the horse what they wanted. It mostly just confuses them. Truth is, the rider won’t know if the horse “got it” until the next rides anyway. The best way to show your horse he did the right thing is to not ask again and possibly, get off! If you want to really rock your horse’s world for doing something right, jump off and put him away. Walk him out by hand if you need to. The worst thing that could happen here is you have a short ride. The benefits are boosting his confidence, building your relationship, confirming to him that he did something right and solidifying a concept for him. He just might be coming up to you the next day ready to try again! Overdo it and he’ll be confused, not wanting to come play with you because he just can’t figure out how to make you happy. It’s not to say that every ride should be short, but it’s a good tool to keep in the toolbox.
Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Be thoughtful of your horse’s mind and body. He’s out with you practicing one more half pass because you asked him to, he would rather be hanging out with his nose in the grass or taking a snooze with his equine friends. You are your horse’s teacher, guidance counselor, and protector. No one likes being told they are wrong over and over, eventually a person will just stop trying if they can’t seem to get the right answer no matter what and a horse will stop trying too.

According to the largest ever study of its kind carried out by INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard, Los Angeles is the most congested city in the world, with Californian commuters spending on average 102 hours in traffic jams in 2017. Paris appears ninth on the list, with 69 hours, which is slightly better than London (74 hours) and the extremely congested cities of Moscow, Sao Paulo and New York. Congestion comes at a price : $33 billion annually, for the latter city. It’s a world record-breaking sum that’s just as much due to fuel wastage and the resulting pollution, as it is to increased freight costs and the loss of productivity in the workplace. And what’s worse, the figures are constantly rising.
For INRIX, the fundamental cause of congestion resides in an “imbalance between the demand and supply for roads”. To improve traffic flow, cities can first of all work on the supply, and take action concerning the physical infrastructure. Dallas, for instance, saw congestion rates drop by 9% after huge sums were invested (almost $2 billion, weighed against the overall cost of congestion at $5 billion) for solutions such as building new bridges, and improving traffic flow into the city via the intersection of two highways. Other action points for cities include managing demand better using traffic optimization solutions designed to reduce the number of cars on the road (in France, the number of cars per capita continues to grow, however), and/or…. getting more people in cars. Cities are prompted to promote carpooling and alternative transportation methods, and to also make use of “intelligent transport solutions” such as real-time traffic control, dynamic lane allocation, and automatic traffic lights. There are also indirect solutions linked to how we live and work in our urban environments that can complement these actions, such as encouraging flexible working hours, and for example, working from home.
Coercive measures are also in the spotlight, starting with congestion pricing. It’s something New York contemplated doing ten years ago, and today, it could become the first American city to put it in place. A report published in January 2018 by Fix NY bids to get around huge, problematic and costly infrastructure works, via a mixture of “soft” solution, such as: introducing congestion pricing in the center of Manhattan (generating an estimated $810 million annually); clamping down on of driving and parking violations; and taxing private car hire apps. The above are accused of aggravating such congestion woes, outlined in an empirical law dating from the 60s: urban commuter expressways abhor empty lanes, and during peak-hours, they don’t reduce congestion, instead traffic grows until it hits maximum capacity. (Truly) modern approaches to old problems?

Badger's Forest Tarot (GameCrafter, 2013) comes out on this Thursday morning, reminding us that the world is a beautiful place :)
There have been many decks that show the World card as a tree, but it must be said that it seems particularly appropriate for a deck with "Forest" in its title. Trees stand for the fundaments of what makes up our world, our sense of place. Trees hold together the forest, homes to many, feeding others. It's not just at the visible level of the birds in the branches, or more subtley the beetles in the bark, but even the worms between the roots, and the earth itself that is nourished by the falling berries, nuts, branches and leaves. The tree, then, speaks of perfection, completion, homecoming, of something that underpins the next generation, the next cycle.
This is such a lovely card to get today. It's a reminder that I have a couple of things to finish off - checking all my tech works for tomorrow's workshop at the UK Tarot Conference top among them. However, it also reminds me that completing this is an ending, not the end. There are still many new projects and possibilities in the world, which can nourish my soul, and which I can help grow.
I am grateful for completing some things, and knowing I will begin others, all while nourished at a soul level by the world.

Models provide insight into physical and chemical systems. We build simple analytical models to drive science-based environmental decision-making. More sophisticated models are used to predict chemical fate and transport in groundwater or waterways, or via air dispersion. Our model visualizations include web site applications for real-time data presentation.
We use a range of analytical and numerical models to solve complex hydrogeological and geochemical problems. We project subsurface flow and chemical fate and transport, characterize historical and current groundwater flow paths, delineate plumes, and predict future chemical transport. Using robust, numerical modeling platforms, we bring a multidimensional analysis of groundwater flow and chemical transport to various remediation and litigation settings.
Saturated and Unsaturated Groundwater Flow | Multiphase Fluid Systems | Complex Bedrock Geology | Surface–Groundwater Interactions | Flow Systems with Variable Salinity and Temperature
We apply our expertise in surface water modeling to predict flows, as well as sediment and contaminant fate and transport. Our analyses support water quality studies, NPDES compliance, allocation, site characterization, and remedial design. No matter what the need, we apply the model to get the job done right. From simple to complex, our models best integrate available data to meet project and client needs.
River and Estuarine Flow | Watershed Runoff | Sediment and Contaminant Fate and Transport | Water Quality | Thermal | Mixing | Compliance
Our site-specific oceanographic models support a wide variety of studies such as sediment and contaminant fate and transport, water quality and ecology, coastal resiliency, and offshore energy assessments. We develop state-of-the-science forecast, nowcast, and hindcast models that provide accurate 3-dimensional site conditions over a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Our oceanographic modelers have successfully completed projects nationwide and overseas in aquatic systems ranging from riverine, lacustrine, and estuarine environments to coastal waters and the deep ocean.
Hydrodynamics | Sediment Transport | Contaminant Fate and Transport | Water Quality | Ecology | Thermal Plumes | Coastal Resiliency | Coastal Adaptation | Offshore Energy | Marine Energy | Acoustics
To support compliance and permitting, we model air emissions from stationary and mobile sources, as well as fugitive emissions from soil or water. Using modeling output, we also perform direct (inhalation) and indirect (food chain) risk assessments. We use the regulatory suite of models to develop customized dispersion models for project-specific estimates. We also evaluate exposure and consequences of accidental and non-routine air emissions, and conduct dose reconstruction.
Vapor Intrusion | Air Quality | Dispersion and Deposition | Accidental Releases | Dose Reconstruction | Litigation Support

Hey guys, this isn’t really a proper post, I just have a few things to let you all know about.
After my hiatus in May, I’ve been really trying to plan out my posts ahead of time and get myself into a position where I have a relatively consistent posting schedule with solid social media updates. Although it hasn’t been going quite as well as I’d hoped, it’s an improvement, and I’m trying to further encourage myself to stick with it by sharing my plan with you all.
The plan below is really only realistic over the summer, but I’ll let you know what’s happening during term time once I’ve figured it out myself.
In an effort to avoid overhyping it, here’s my new schedule…

The Primitivo grapes are selected form low-yielding vineyards in the Salento area of southern Puglia. The guyot training method is employed. The plants are an average of 25 to 30 years old, with a plant density of approximately 4000 plants per hectare.
Manual picking in late August.
The grapes are de-stemmed and delicately crushed, chilled to 10°C and left to macerate on their skins for approximately 8 hours, giving the must a pink hue. The must is then run off its skins, placed in stainless steel fermentation tanks and then left to rest for 36 hours. Fermentation is carried out using selected yeasts at a controlled temperature of 14-16°C and lasts approximately 10 days.
The wine is left on its lees in stainless steel tanks for three months in order to maximise extraction of complex aromas.

Today, I am still depressed from yesterday. I decide to pop in another movie after watching the twelve o’clock football game. This time, a true comedy. Truly Madly Deeply. It’s like Ghost, I thought, except it has Alan Rickman in it with a really, really bad porn mustache. In fact, I almost can’t get past the mustache, it’s so hideous. I watch it, anyway, ready to be amused by the antics of the afterlife.
Obviously, I didn’t read the blurb too closely or they were misleading me because this isn’t just a romantic comedy. Or maybe it’s just the way Brits do comedy. We first meet Nina (Juliet Stevenson) in the midst of a deep, terrible grief. Her man is dead from a sore throat, and she can’t seem to get over it. The movie doesn’t say how long he’s been dead, but it’s reaching the point where all her friends and her sister are worried about her. She doesn’t seem to be getting better, and she can only grieve. The times she breaks down in her therapist’s office are painful—more so because of my personal state of mind.
She cries out to Jamie, wanting him back so badly. Everything reminds her of him—including playing music. He was a cellist—not bad, though I read on IMDB.com that he had a stand-in for the fingering hand, although he did the bowing—and she played piano. By the way, I love the cello. I used to play, and it’s the most beautiful instrument in the world. The music in this movie is gorgeous, and I like watching the two leads sing. I have to say, though, that for musicians—neither has the greatest voice. Oops, I’m getting ahead of myself. Nina is sitting at the piano, plinking out a tune. You can see the loneliness in her face, especially since she’d just fondled his cello. I knew what was going to happen, of course. There is little surprising in this movie, but that’s ok. Yes, the cello does start playing—pan out to see Jamie and his silly mustache at the cello.
The moment Nina realizes that Jamie, dead though he is, is back with her—it’s powerful. Of course, she has to make herself believe that it is, indeed, him and not a figment of her imagination. Perhaps she is longing for him so much, he appears. No, he is real. As real as a ghost can be, and they spend an idyllic week just nesting together. She doesn’t go to work or answer her phone. She has her man back, and that’s all she needs. Oh, before Jamie shows up, there is much ado over Nina’s terrible flat that she adores but has so many problems with. Rats, improperly-made cabinet doors. She has a man—Titus (Christopher Rozycki), though I’m not exactly sure at first what his relation to her is—who ‘does’ for her, but he’s also in love with her. Or so he says. In fact, he is an irritant and pretty unbelievable. In another kind of movie, I would expect him to be the stalker. As it is, the scene where he and three other men natter on about how beautiful Nina is, well, it’s artificial at best. She’s ok-looking, but nothing special.
Can I please reiterate how grateful I am that normal people are cast in British movies? This one even more so than Love Actually. Nina is pleasant-looking but not stunning. I find Alan Rickman utterly sexy, but he’s not American-handsome. The rest are average—just average. I like this as it makes the movie more real. In America, being ugly means wearing glasses and having an unflattering haircut. The first time I really appreciated a foreign flick for this quality was when I saw Bread and Tulips—an Italian movie. The lead woman was in her forties, voluptuous and had a haggard charm. She would have been cast as the mother or the unattractive best friend in America, but she’s simply beautiful.
Anyway, you’d think America would get a clue and start being more realistic about casting, but perhaps people here really are that shallow that they only want good-looking people in their movies. Oh, and I am surprised that this is the same director—Anthony Minghella—who directed The English Patient, which I loathed. Except for Naveen Andrews, who is hot. But I digress. This movie has a simplicity to it which is utterly charming, even if the scenes are some times clunky or unbelievable. Juliet Stevenson goes over the top once in a while, but manages to rein it in when necessary.
After the first week or so of idyllic love, things gradually start to change. Jamie begins to rearrange things in the flat more to his liking. He’s sneezing all the time because he’s very sensitive to allergens. He’s freezing cold and insists that the heat be cranked up so Nina is parboiled. He wakes her up by dumping water on her head, and he likes to jump out at her to surprise her. This is a great conceit because so often, people want their loved ones back without really thinking what it’d be like. We tend to idolize our dead—minimizing their flaws until they’re almost nonexistent. The joy that Nina feels at the return of her beloved starts to be tinged with less positive emotions.
There is a subplot involving Nina’s job as a translator and the pregnant woman (Stella Maris as Maura) she’s helping. It’s well-done, but it’s a bit clunky for my taste. As far as I can tell, Maura’s there to provide Nina with the opportunity to run into the new guy (Michael Maloney as Mark) and for Nina to realize as she’s holding the newborn babe the pregnant woman births that she has to move on with her life. Oh, and to take Nina’s place in the affection of Titus, the man who declared his love for Nina earlier in the movie. Like I said, it’s a lovely subplot, but a bit obvious.
I don’t care, however, as I’m captivated by Nina and Jamie. The new man is also a bit clunky, but he matters not, either. Oh, actually he does. He’s too weird—and I don’t believe in love at first sight. He is too intense to be the love interest of someone who’s so deeply grieving over someone else. Plus, he seems more like a caricature than a real person. It doesn’t matter, however, as what she does in her real life is secondary to her strange half-life with Jamie. Who definitely is starting to take over her flat. He invites eight or ten of his dead friends to hang out and watch movies until all hours of the night. He continues to rearrange. She can’t get a moment’s peace in her own apartment. Even though it’s obvious what’s going on, it’s still amusing to watch.
I have to say, Rickman is good at creating chemistry with his leading ladies. There is a real tenderness here just as there was a comfortable fondness between him and Emma Thompson in Love Actually. I’d like to see Professor Snape have a lady interest, but I think that would blow everyone’s minds. Besides, it’s a bit difficult to figure out what kind of woman such a dark guy would be interested in. But I digress. Rickman excels at cold but icy fury. He’s also excellent at wry, sardonic wit. In this, however, he shows another side. Whiny. Petulant. Mischievous. Someone you want to swat in frustration. There is a reason for this, of course, but it’s well-done.
I won’t discuss the last part of the movie besides saying I cried buckets. It’s touching but not mawkish. I don’t much care for the new romance, but I understand that’s the vehicle with which the lovely, lovely scenes with Jamie and Nina are played out. It’s believable and evocative—but that could just be because of the space I am in right now. This movie has more to say about love than does you-know-what.
This is a definite for the Netflix Queue—and I plan on buying a copy. Disregard all the extraneous and focus on the essential—the relationship between Jamie and Nina and how difficult it is to let go. It’s definitely worth a watch or two.
4:36 a.m. 1/8/9/05
Addendum: I received my DVD of this movie today, and I watched the director’s commentary of the parts with Jamie (Alan Rickman) in it. It’s interesting to note how much input Alan had in the procedure, such as doing the whole movie wearing an overcoat. I don’t normally watch the commentary, but I’ve been doing more of that lately. I’m still not sure if knowing what the director was thinking enhances my viewing pleasure or distracts from it. At any rate, I then re-watched the scenes with Alan in them without the commentary, and they made me cry again. Well, let me rephrase that. The first scenes are so touching, they make my heart ache. When she sees him for the first time and bursts into agonizing cries, it’s almost painful to watch. When they start singing and playing together, it makes me smile.
This time around, I was able to watch for the subtle signs of Jamie’s plan. It’s quite touching to see how he looks at her with such love in his eyes. It’s even more so when you realize why he’s acting the way he is. Anthony Minghella—the director—said something about it being a shame that Alan doesn’t do the leading man part more often because he’s not typical leading man fare. He went on to say that both Alan and Juliet—the lead female—are so striking. While I don’t agree about her, it’s definitely true about him. No, he’s no Brad Pitt, thank God, but he’s got depth and character. He commands a stage no matter what he’s wearing or saying or doing. It’s a shame that America doesn’t recognize that he is so much more than sheer evilness. I don’t understand why Brits have to play the baddies in American movies, but that seems to be the case.
The scene in this movie which really gets to me no matter how many times I see it is the one where Jamie recites part of a Pablo Neruda poem to Nina in Spanish. I have no idea why it touches me so much, but it does. I think because it’s after she agonizes about wanting a life, wanting children—subtly implying that she’s moving past him. It’s only then that I fully realize the selflessness of what he’s doing and how much it must wound him. Then, as she’s weeping in his arms, he reaches out a hand to stroke her hair but then slowly lets it drop. It’s beautiful yet heartbreaking at the same time. The last two scenes with the ghosts affect me as well, but not as much as that one scene.
2:11 a.m. 1/9/10/05
Addendum to the addendum: I watched the entire movie again during the commercial breaks of the two playoff games. I have come to the conclusion that everything about it that irritated me before is no longer irritating. No, wait, Titus is still annoying but less so. This is just a gem of a movie that doesn’t try to be anything other than it is. It’s not trying to answer any huge question or apply itself across the board. It’s a lovely story of a woman who is deeply grieving a past love, and who hasn’t felt that?
This is a potentially corny movie, yes, it’s true, but the leads handle it with such aplomb, they manage to get past the preciousness of it. It helps, I think, that Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman had done several things together in the past. Their affection for each other is real, and there’s a comfortableness there that only comes with time. The grief that Nina shows is real in its rawness and anger. She is shown dripping with tears, and it’s not prettied up in any way. This movie is real despite the littering of oddball characters. It’s easy to identify with Nina and with Jamie. The scene where the two of them are singing together with such abandon is a joy to behold. It’s another of my favorite scenes in the movie.
I could watch this movie again and again, which is rare for me with movies. I can barely watch some of them once—and I have stopped a movie midway before—let alone multiple times. This is by far my favorite Alan Rickman movie so far, even though I think his performance in Die Hard is equally stellar. He’s compelling in Dark Harbor as well, and he makes quite the impression as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter series. I like his look in Love Actually the best, but this movie is my favorite overall of his movies I’ve seen thus far. Besides the mustache, of course. If you could only watch one movie of his, make it this one. You won’t be disappointed.

Will the Wii U Sink Nintendo’s Ship?
On Wednesday, May 7, before market open in the west, Nintendo will report Q4:14 (March) results. It has not scheduled a financial results briefing.
We expect weak Wii U hardware sales to drive a miss. Our estimates are for revenue of 91 billion yen and EPS of (282) yen, versus consensus of 106 billion yen and (271) yen, and implied guidance of 91 billion yen and (275) yen. Q4 F/X rates were 103 yen/$1 and 141 yen/1 euro versus FY:14 assumptions of 100 yen/$1 and 140 yen/1 euro, helping results slightly.
We expect FY:15 guidance in-line with the company’s original expectations for FY:14. In April 2013, Nintendo provided initial FY:14 guidance for revenue of 920 billion yen, operating income of 100 billion yen, and EPS of 430 yen.
The company had confidence in the operating income figure, as according to NeoGAF, CEO Iwata implied in January that he would consider resigning if unable to achieve operating income of 100 billion yen in FY:14. Mr. Iwata has as yet to resign, and we expect him to guide to 100 billion yen of operating income once again, citing 3DS dominance in the handheld marketplace and an improving release slate for Wii U that could revitalize hardware sales. However, we expect Nintendo’s struggles to continue in FY:15. We note that its most recent operating income guidance for FY:14 is for a loss of (35) billion yen, well below the initial 100 billion yen guidance.

2 top Kansas GOP lawmakers want quick repeal of income tax break
Two new Republican leaders in the Kansas Legislature want to move quickly to repeal an income tax break for more than 330,000 farmers and business owners, a move that would repudiate a key piece of GOP Gov. Sam Brownback’s political legacy.
The targeted tax break was enacted in 2012. It is an exemption for profits farmers and owners of limited liability corporations and other businesses have reported on their personal income tax returns; the break also applies to rents and royalties. It has been a major contributor to the state’s budget problems over the past four years, and legislators expect its repeal to raise about $260 million a year.
House Taxation Committee Chairman Steven Johnson, an Assaria Republican, said he’s hoping legislators can pass a bill repealing the tax break within weeks of convening their next annual session on Jan. 9. He said he also hopes to make the policy retroactive to the start of 2017, so the state can collect new revenues more quickly.
Incoming Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning, an Overland Park Republican, said he also wants to pass a bill repealing the policy quickly. The idea has bipartisan support, and Denning said he believes Brownback would allow such a measure become law without his signature rather than veto it.
“It’s no surprise,” Denning said during an Associated Press interview. “Everybody knows this thing’s going to get closed.”
Brownback pushed legislators for aggressive personal income tax cuts in 2012 in what even some GOP voters now view as an unsuccessful effort to stimulate the economy. Voters ousted two dozen of Brownback’s legislative allies in last year’s elections, with many voters saying the state’s budget problems motivated their choice of candidates.
The governor and lawmakers must close projected budget shortfalls totaling nearly $1.1 billion through June 2019, prompting many lawmakers to rethink the tax cuts.
Critics of the exemption for farmers and business owners such as lawyers and dentists say it’s unfair for them to escape personal income taxes when their employees still must pay. Some critics also argue that wealthy taxpayers benefited the most.
Brownback has described the policy as a small-business tax break that encourages expansion. He has not said publicly whether he would accept its repeal, and spokeswoman Melika Willoughby said in an email statement that he “remains committed to supporting pro-growth tax policies.”
Meanwhile, incoming House Minority Leader Jim Ward, a Wichita Democrat, said repealing the tax break is a “good first step” toward dealing with the state’s budget woes, but he doesn’t want lawmakers to consider the idea separately from higher income tax rates for the wealthy or other tax proposals.
He said it’s difficult to pass any tax increase, and some legislators might vote for the repeal and then say, “We’re done.”
“The question is: How many of these votes do you want to take?” Ward said. “And if you’re going to take serious steps to address the problem — which is a structural budget problem — shouldn’t we have a comprehensive approach?”
