Will not allow me to purchase
Help, in app purchase option is not working.
Great App for prescribing ABX
This is a well used well loved app. Useful when providing care on medical missions.
The Guide is an indispensable resource for inpatient care. It is up to date and easy to use for everything from obscure parasitic infections to intraperitoneal dosing of common antibiotics.
Excellent source for antibiotic choice dose, dose adjustments, drug interactions. Etc. user friendly menu and easy navigation
Useful and up to date; facile reference
Excellent reference. Highly recommended.
Content is good, app is terrible
App consistently freezes and I have to restart it regularly. Not great for having to look information up quickly as it is designed for.
Regular updates to help with antibiotic selection, and information on pathogens and resistance patterns is helpful. Will continue to subscribe for the foreseeable future.
Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I have not had this long.
A must have for clinicians
Best app if your goal is to know appropriate and up to date antibiotic treatments
I deleted it and reinstalled. Everything is fine now. Thanks.
Nice format, easy to find information.
New update rendered app useless
New update a few days ago makes it so I cannot use the app at all. Every time I try to open it, it crashes. Hope this is patched soon. Unacceptable.
Keeps you abreast of proper antibiotics usage
Now the Activity Spectra doesn’t work, Specifically it is very difficult to scroll down through the pathogen’s you have to wait five seconds for it to scroll two lines. I don’t know what they’ve changed recently but it used to be very smooth. Edit: app developers fixed issue quickly and responded to my query! Updated to 5 stars!
Not opening with latest update. I’ve updated app and it crashes on BOTH of my phones!! Please fix it!
Will not open in IOS 12
I have always loved the Sanford Guide for up to date information. Since I updated my iPad to IOS 12 the app will not open. Crashes every time. Please help.
Doesn’t work with iOS 12
By anonymous apple review writer
Version 2.9 doesn’t work with iOS 12 — please update soon!
New update crashes on opening.
Essential abx therapy guide
The antibiotic information is complete, up to date, easy to find, and evidence based. Not only is information on susceptible bacteria and clinical uses provided, along with dosing and treatment duration, but also potential drug-drug interactions, adverse effects, and dosing adjustments for patients with renal or hepatic disease.
Must have for rotations
I use this app at least once a day. I find it easy to utilize and find the information I needed. Great clinical tool.
I mean c’mon is the Sanford guide with auto-updates.
Old Friend in an Ap
Everything I have always come to expect from the Sanford Guide in a much more user-friendly format. Also has some wonderful tables.
I downloaded the app but find that was not actually a purchase. I am glad the purchase was not final as I see I missed an important point. With further evaluation I discovered the content will disappear after one year. When I have purchased materials, what I do with the resource is my business. It appears such intense control of the resource may be for greed. When others have addressed this concern, I read the responses which state the purpose of the disappearance of materials was to discourage use of outdated material. What does my use of materials have to do with you? You are not my father. I don't buy that excuse, so I am not buying the resource. I am disappointed in the name and will find another resource to invest my trust and my money in. Sad day.
Been using it in private practice and with rural and community health centers for 10 years and it has never failed me! MP Jennings CRNP, FNP-GNP-BC
Much easier to navigate than the standard pocket sized books, and provides updates whenever available. Also works in areas of limited service!
By Super B 66
This app is perfect for clinical decision making. User friendly.
This is one of the best apps for medicine It’s so easy to find what I need. Well worth the cost.
Timely and critically important information that I use practically every day to make clinical decisions.
I’m a med student and I got this app after a preceptor recommended it to me. I absolutely love it. Very comprehensive and easy to use. I’m now in my third year of med school and I use this app all the time. Highly recommended
I love this app! I am an internal medicine intern and this app is essential for being on call. At night I can just look up any drug/disease process and it tells me dosing. Highly recommend

Did you know it only takes 21 days to make a routine a habit? If you're looking for a way to help your kids make brushing, flossing and rinsing a habit, it helps if you can establish a morning and evening brushing routine. Creating good habits can start at a young age and carry through for life.
When you're establishing a routine for your kids, make it easy for them. When you are potty training young kids, you establish a routine of having them go to the bathroom as soon as they wake up and then again every couple of hours throughout the day. While it takes longer for some kids than it does others to be completely potty trained, it's the habit that helps. The same is true for dental care. Every morning after breakfast and every evening before bed, prompt your child to brush his teeth. It won't take too long for your kids to automatically think about brushing at those times on their own.
When you're creating a morning and evening brushing routine for your kids, there are dental activities you can do to make it more fun. Help your little ones look forward to brushing by making it a fun game. Sing songs with your toddler about brushing teeth to help them get excited. The Department of Health has a great selection of tooth brushing songs.
Some kids may benefit from a toothbrushing chart or other type of reward system. And of course, the tooth fairy helps all kids get excited about their teeth.
Kids learn from what they see, so if they see you brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, they'll be more likely to do it, too. While you are helping your kids develop good habits, be sure to follow up and help them with flossing and brushing. And don't forget, great dental habits are complemented by regular checkups at the dentist, so be sure to make a habit of taking your kids to see the dentist every six months!

Champion Li puts China on grand slam map
1 of 8. Li Na of China (L) poses with the trophy next to Francesca Schiavone of Italy after winning1.
PARIS (Reuters) - Li Na pinned China on the grand slam map when a confident display of power and accuracy at the French Open Saturday made her-slam title.
Li, the sixth seed, beat last year's champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy 6-4 7-6 in the final.
"I did not have the feeling I could lose the match," Li said.
BRAVE FACEhere last year, doggedly stayed in the set but Li took the opener in 39 minutes, giving up just five points on serve.
With Li serving at 5-6 and the crowd eagerly anticipating a deciding set, Schiavone lost her cool when she ranted over a line call, pointing angrily at a mark in the clay.
Had that decision gone her way she would have earned a set point. Instead Li remained calm, held serve to set up a tiebreaker and with clearly no appetite for tea-time drama, reeled off seven consecutive points.
The men's doubles title went towho beat Argentine4.
Sunday sees the men's singles final when a resurgent Roger Federer sets out to stop Spaniard Rafa Nadal winning a sixth Roland Garros title.

U.S. sends long-range drones to monitor North Korean nuclear activity and Chinese navy
Two of the U.S. Air Force'set to monitor nuclear activities in North Korea and Chinese naval operations
MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan — The U.S. Air Forceover the past week, enhancing its ability.
Though some residents of the city of Misawa have raised concerns about the drone deployment, opposition has been notably muted compared to the often emotional and deep-rooted protests against the deployment of new aircraft or troops on the southern Japan island of Okinawa, where most of the U.S. military in Japan is based.
Abe’s focus has been on what the Japanese military should be allowed to do when an ally defending Japan comes under attack — what the Japanese call collective self-defence. But opponents fear loosening restrictions will open the door for the Japanese military to be drawn into broader U.S. conflicts that don’t have a direct connection to Japan’s national defence.

Ready to resign as foreign Minister, Pavlo Klimkin suddenly shared the memories of his participation in the Minsk process. It is reported by UNN.
So, according to the Minister, participation in the Minsk agreements remained perhaps the most significant event during the tenure.
Recalls Klimkin, at the beginning of negotiations in February 2015,offered his German French and Ukrainian counterpart to dine vodka brand “Belovezhskaya”.
“When it all began, Lavrov me and my German and French colleagues led to a private room, ordered a bottle – I think it was something like “Bialowieza” (brand of vodka – ed.) and said let’s start negotiations with that drink. Looks at me like Laurent Fabius, the French Minister, and asked: “Can drink?” The German Minister, Frank Walter Starmer, who is now Federal President, is also looking at me from another angle: “Is this drinking?” I give him the nod. Lavrov but his whole appearance showed that he was not home. Well, we began to extrude from the three of us go to Putin”, – said Klimkin.
Recallin Minsk in 2015 lasted for 18 and a half hours.
Klimkin brought a few memories about these negotiations in his book.
Earlier, foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin supported the updates of the presidential Administration.
“With sincere respect to the first personal appointments of Vladimir Zelensky. I would have to place the administration of the reboot as a fact and as a class. She’s already quite useless aura and karma. Even good people, as practice shows, the situation can not save,” – said the Minister.

Golem Pulse Festival, New Wolsey Theatre 10 June 2017 4 Stars Very much thought of as the jewel in the crown of this year’s Pulse Festival, 1927’s Golem is a show that has reached legendary status sine it was first staged, and comes to the Wolsey after long national and international tours. Drawing on the myth of The Golem, of a man who fashions a creature out of clay to work for him, the piece examines the relationship between man and machine, until the machines take over. The star of the show is the animation and projections that create a graphic novel coming to life, very much in the style of Fritz Lang, particularly Metropolis. The genius of the piece is that, despite its style, it is a world very familiar to us as the Golem is updated, each time becoming technologically smaller and more powerful. Human emotions are sublimated … Read more

Gary Numan's compositions have often been running ahead of the times, either in terms of the music, instrumentation, lyrics... or all of the above. After the dystopian visions of Savage, the new concept album Intruder is more about the here-and-now than some imagined future - however, the sound design, music, and production aspects of the album have that otherworldly and unmistakable Numan feel that one expects.
It is again an introspectice record, in many ways connects us with the world of one of his recent and highly personal albums, Splinter.
Each track seems to be perfectly integrated into the whole that Intruder constitutes as an album, nothing feels out of place - and remarkably, after more than four decades of creative output, at least this reviewer could not find a single track that noticeably differs from the overall feel of the album, in terms of its quality and level of engagement triggered in the listener.
We have many tracks of an eminently anthemic quality, some with genuine head bobbing potential... Now and Forever is a perfect example, so is I Am Screaming - we may find ourselves singing along at the top of our otherwise modest voices. Numan's melodic inventiveness is still at a sustained peak - many of the melodic phrases of the album have earworm potential, and many melodies, especially in the expansive choruses, have a not often heard beauty.
Tracks like The Gift or The End of Dragons have those Eastern touches we last heard on Savage, whilst Black Sun takes us into the world of intimate, gentle Numan compositions. If Intruder, the title track, is suitably dark and reaching for harsher metallic rock sonorities, compositions like the aforementioned I Am Screaming show that quintessential Numan characteristic: a track can go from subtle, almost whispering vocal phrases to a soaring, uplifting, and ceiling-lifting chorus in under one second. The emotional effect, the lift, such tracks give the listener are hard to put in words, but Numan fans will be very familiar with the effect.
This album, too is a collaboration with Ade Fenton, thus in terms of production values, technical wizardry and the overall Numan-esque soundscapes, Intruder excels. It unleashes on us an instantly recognisable soundworld, across the entire range - and the album certainly has a vast range, going from delicate ballad-like passages to Earth-shattering passages. The Chosen or Is This World Not Enough are good examples of how the vast forces at work are managed, tamed, or unleashed with full force.
The electronic percussion, too is highly characteristic, decayed metal parts of dismantled androids and remains of alien spaceships are scraped, banged together, hit with other things...
As some may hear on some M83 albums, Intruder achieves the rare mixing and mastering fete of having even the soft, subtle, even quasi-whispered vocals come across with perfecly intelligible words whilst immersed in thundering electronic textures.
The term "synth-pop" or "electro-pop", which was used for decades to label Gary Numan's music, is still in use today... But if his recent albums were not sufficient proof of the fact that the use of this label nowadays is just a lazy shorthand, then Intruder once again demonstrates this.
To paraphrase one of the lines from The End of Dragons, Gary Numan still holds the sky as a bona fide electronic music hero, with yet another fully-fledged concept album that dares to move lightyears outside current stereotypical electronica.
Amazônia is an immersive exhibition focusing on the Brazilian Amazon, based on more than 200 photographs and other media by legendary photographer and filmmaker Sebastião Salgado. He had spent six years in the region, capturing the natural elements and the local cultures.
Electronic music legend Jean-Michel Jarre has composed and recorded a musical score for the exhibition.
The first and rather central aspect is that this, after many years, marks a return to an ambiental, even musique concrète, soundworld that Jarre fans may know from only a few seminal works.
Apart from some of Jarre's early, pre-Oxygène, works, we have only heard this compositional approach in his sampling-based classic album Zoolook and in the mesmerising, final track of Waiting For Cousteau.
Amazônia will certainly "disappoint" Jarre fans who expect musical output that is either in the vein of unashamedly nostalgic re-visiting of classic albums like Equinoxe or in the quite heavily EDM-leaning mainstream electronic works we could hear in recent years.
It is not an album with driving sequences and rhythm patterns, certainly not one with sonic fireworks. There is something of the intimacy of the album Sessions 2000 in this, it feels and sounds like a highly personal project with great attention to detail.
An interesting aspect is that the album's many natural sounds are not actually field-recorded sounds, instead, they were created and/or assembled in Jarre's studio.
It is impossible to do a track-by-track 'usual' review of the album, as it is an overall sonic experience, with numbered tracks that seamlessly flow into each other. If we think of Tangerine Dream's Zeit or Atem, Vangelis's delicate and intricately minimalistic Soil Festivities, well, Amazônia firmly positions itself in that type of sonic Universe.
Perhaps the most charming aspect of the work is how the countless tiny details combine and how they change. We have occasional appearances of melodic motifs, very subtle sequences, pulsations, but the centre stage is occupied by the sonic elements that conjur the world of the Amazon rainforest.
It is a symphony of a very special and subdued kind, where the listener is trusted to pay attention to numerous tiny changes in the sounds and the musical elements. There are moments of 'tangible' electronic music, between ambiental soundscapes that seem to purely come into being and exist without any human intervention.
Admittedly, this blogger admires that particular quality in some seminal works by other EM greats like the aforementioned ones and certainly in works by Klaus Schulze - thus, in the case of Amazônia we are invited to an, overused word perhaps nowadays, immersive experience.
Amazônia simply seems to exist, filling the available space, floating in the air, with myriad infinitesimal sonic elements that arrange themselves into a veritable constellation of natural sounds.
It is music, it is a sound, for introspective times - whilst it can be as abstract as some works by Brian Eno, the evocation of the natural world works splendidly, and gives the album a highly organic feel.
This is not musique concrète that escaped from the labs of some electronic pioneers, not a sterile collage of natural and electronic sounds... It seems to breathe and have currents, undercurrents, pulsations of some greater organism - it has life.
As a landmark in the Jarre discography, Amazônia is a rare and unexpected change of direction after years of adventures in increasingly mainstream electronic music sub-genres. It is a surprise, and if the listener enjoyed Waiting For Cousteau or the sonic introspections of Ethnicolor from Zoolook, that listener will find Amazônia a mesmerising sonic journey.
On Wolfgang Palm's birthday, it is difficult to enlist just how revolutionary his synthesis method, and the resulting synthesizer, was in the late 1970s.
What the public later became acquainted with under the name PPG Wave was the result of sublime inventiveness and practical genius.
Palm invented the synthesis method based on rapid cycling through tables of waveforms, the resulting spectral richness and truly unique character of the sounds making it instantly recognisable.
The key distinction between what some call wavetable synths (which play back complex waveforms, even entire sounds from digital samples) and Palm's method was the use of single-cycle waveforms in tables that the digital circuitry was sweeping / cycling through. Controlling the tables of waveforms, the way in which the sweeps were done etc. one could create astonishing sounds.
Palm's practical engineering genius was not just in the construction of the early prototypes that were fully usable as musical instruments, but also in the creation of the wavetables. Most of the PPG Wave and Waveterm "factory" wavetables are to this day absolute classics, and many digital synths and samplers have imitations or recreations of these classic and unique sounds.
Nobody sounded like Edgar Froese and Tangerine Dream in the very late 1970s and in 1980, as they were the supremely "lucky" electronic musicians to get their hands on early incarnations of Palm's invention.
If we listen today to Froese's Stuntman solo album and Tangerine Dream albums like Tangram and Exit, we are still struck by the beauty and the timeless nature of the sounds emanating from the PPG Wave synths.
Later it permeated electronic music genres ranging from space ambient to synth-pop, the number and kind of artists using the PPG synths is staggering. One finds the characteristic sounds on everything from A-ha to Ultravox records.
A testament to the enduring value of the synthesis method is that Waldorf synths have brought us many immensely beefed-up variants (including plugins that recreate the classic PPG Wave versions' sounds).
Waldorf Wave, a hugely expensive monster, was one example - but much more affordable and powerful later incarnations of the technology are with us today.
Waldorf microWave and Blofeld are just two examples, and Behringer have also announced that they would create a PPG Wave clone. At which point one has to mention that the latter had analogue filters, which gave it extra character - and Blofeld for example models these filters digitally.
Happy Birthday Wolfgang Palm and huge gratitude for revolutionising the electronic sound landscape!
Borrowing the title of one of his very recent albums, one attempts to convey on this blog, too the sad news of David Darling's passing.
The Grammy Award-winning artist, who was fondly called "the maverick cellist", has passed away on 8 January.
His albums transcended any and all rigid classification boundaries between genres and styles - and his collaborations with other illustrious musicians are simply too numerous to even enumerate here.
From cello performances to composing, from highly praised and unconventional teaching methods to sublime musical collaborations, David Darling has extensively proven that boundaries are artificial.
He easily moved from collaborations with illustrious jazz musicians like Ralph Towner and Terje Rypdal on the legendary ECM label to spiritual and philosophical works like The Tao Of Cello, from film soundtracks for trailblazing directors like Jean-Luc Godard and Wim Wenders to world music projects like Mudanin Kata (The Way Home).
His solo albums and collaborations are all the products of a kind and reflective soul - it simply was a perfect meeting between his personality and the phenomenally expressive capabilities of the cello.
He was heavily involved in music projects for children, with wide recognition from music educators and related organisations, too.
Instead of referring to and being confined by myriad artificial considerations on instrumental arrangements, genres, styles, and technology vs. traditional recording, David Darling has consistently embraced everything from the most ancient traditions to the newest technological achievements.
His music was released on labels like the legendary Hearts Of Space, as he imagined and conveyed sound worlds with instrumentations that ranged from some of the most ancient ethnic instruments to contemporary electronics.
Rest in peace... and amongst celestial harmonies that only he could hear and channel to us in his music.
After the magnificence and well deserved success of the box set In Search Of Hades, a new Tangerine Dream box set was a much coveted release.
Pilots Of Purple Twilight was to contain not just remastered classics from the Virgin Records era (1980-1983), but some previously unreleased material, too - including movie soundtracks that, by now, have an almost mythical aura.
And so it did... The ten CDs were an almost guaranteed success in terms of sales, especially as the mastering job plus the sublime (some previously unreleased) material on the preceding box set left fans in a state of awe.
There are some major positives in the POPT box set, too.
The Dominion Theatre concert in London is now finally enjoyable in its entirety. Previously some parts of it were available in the so-called "live" album Logos (which it wasn't).
Soundtrack of The Soldier is another previously unreleased gem, so are some tracks from TV series that TD fans have only come across on the bootleg circuit before, in variable quality of course.
And of course... the soundtrack to The Keep is the stuff of legends. After its decades of very troubled history, several bootleg and all kinds of versions of all kinds of soundtrack music snippets, it only had an official release in a limited run on the TDI label. This box set version was heralded as the definitive official release.
The remastered classics are by no means lesser players in this box set, especially as albums like Tangram or Exit are not just phenomenal, but they also have huge importance in the band's history & discography.
After all, Tangram marked a major shift in the band's style in 1980, and it is a spellbinding record even in 2020. Exit is an enduring and mesmerising demonstration of a then brand new technology. The use of the revolutionary PPG Wave synthesiser (the brainchild of Wolfgang Palm) is astonishing, and it stands up as a reference example even today.
However... in the wake of the ISOH box set, POPT has several firm signs of bandwagon thinking.
Sure, Tangerine Dream itself have enjoyed a well-deserved revival after the hugely regrettable passing of its visionary founder, Edgar Froese - and the band acquired many new fans who previously have not been exposed to their colossal discography.
The bandwagoning effect is detectable not in the attitudes toward POPT or the classic albums included in the box set... It is more glaring in how the box set was put together and advertised.
The Keep, as if it needed (or could possible acquire) an any more mythical aura than what it already had since the making of the movie, was heralded as a definitive version that would give us a first ever true experience of the movie's soundtrack.
Actually, contrary to the expectations whipped up to fluffy cumulonimbus heights & shapes, the released material is extremely close to the TDI release of yesteryear. This means that it is still lacks several key musical cues from the film... and some of those are quintessential Tangerine Dream in terms of their arrangement, style, and mood.
For example, what shows up on some bootleg versions as Glaeken Awakens is a stunningly beautiful, atmospheric, and (in its sound design) absolutely instantly recognisable Tangerine Dream track. This, together with other memorable musical moments (even the opening sequence) is missing from this version, too. But it is the version the band originally wanted to release, so... fair enough, but marketing hype vs. reality was quite an expectation management blunder.
The remastered versions of the classics are "OK", to use this highly technical word... Nothing that will strike one as a revelation. Once again, after the stellar mastering done on ISOH box set of sometimes very troubled original material, one could have expected something revelatory based on the hype.
Well... yes, there is some shine, some tinkering with stereo separation, and thankfully it does not compress the heck out of the records, as many new remastered versions of many big names in music almost always do. The dynamic range of the remastered versions is still fine, a big relief in the annoying loudness war that has been raging for a few decades.
The perhaps biggest and admittedly almost scandalous-looking element in the POPT box set is how decision was made to cram extra, well, "bonus" tracks onto CDs that contain remastered classics.
White Eagle is an experience. It is an album with its well put-together structure. It is a musical journey. One that ends with the truly sublime title track. It ends there, and leaves the room changed, the air is very different and we are different.
The POPT version is something that borders on the inexplicable, and betrays the approach taken by the publisher. Instead of adding another CD to the box set, for all the disjointed extras, the decision was to fill the space allowed by the physical medium with the bonus tracks - after White Eagle ends.
Sure, we can press the stop button quickly when, in our reverie, the title tracks fades out with the glistening sequencer notes... if we want to have that White Eagle experience without some other tarcks suddenly blasting the just settled air molecules in the room. But this is not the point.
Who in the right mind, unless just doing some rush job and/or maximising profit while cutting corners, decides to publish e.g. after Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles a bunch of other thrown-together stories just because there is some room left in the chosen binding for the book?
A rhetorical question. The approach is inconceivable at best, ridiculously amateurish-looking at worst.
Looking at the "bonus" material that was crowbarred onto that CD in particular, the whole exercise is just... puzzling, to put it politely.
The visual material is also puzzling, and again looks like a "who cares let's just sell this" exercise - even if it was not the real intention.
Some photos are woefully lacking the needed resolution to be reproduced in the size that they are printed at in the box set's mini-book. They look as if somebody did a shockingly amateurish job, taking some very obviously too small photos and badly upscaled them to printed sizes that were evidently beyond what anybody would define in graphic design stage.
Some may have had the misfortune of growing up in a society where one could only obtain music like that of Tangerine Dream via elusive "copy studios", who recorded onto cassettes some copies of legendary albums - as the originals were virtually unobtainable for common people.
If the enthusiastic kid gave them let's say a 60-minute cassette (which was cheapest and most easily obtainable in shops), then after the recording of the let's say 40-odd minutes of album material there was some extra music thrown in as a loving addition by the "studio". They may have been related to the album in some way, let's say in style or release timeline, or not related at all.
From risk-taking imagination to formulaic templates: an irreversible trend in Hollywood film scores?
There was a time, like the somewhat distant 1950s, when a film intended for mainstream market dared to wildly experiment with its soundtrack.
One enduring example is The Forbidden Planet (1956), which featured a truly ground-breaking experimental soundtrack. Nothing like that was heard before in a Hollywood film. Further examples from subsequent years abound, and perhaps the secret is that the directors in those cases had more control over the end product than in the case of current (wannabe or actual) blockbusters...
Omen was not exactly an elitist art house venture either, but the late Jerry Goldsmith was given the freedom to experiment... and he did. Who could forget the sheer genius of using a repetitive, whispering but utterly menacing choral motif as the sound of the demonic dogs' breath?
There was a time when John Carpenter was tinkering in rather superb way with his synths, we had William Friedkin resorting to progressive rock visionary Mike Oldfield or used the sonic imaginings of trailblazing electronic music giant Tangerine Dream.
When Terminator shook the movie theatres with its footsteps, it did that with a musical backdrop provided by Brad Fiedel. He relied on the very early incarnations of digital sampling technology to produce many of the movie's signature sounds, too. He even had the audacity of using an aggressively pitch-shifted cello sample for one otherworldly sound that now everyone recognises as the ominous cue for the appearance of the Terminator.
Michael Mann, firmly rooted in mainstream and popular genres, had a look at his music collection - and then used everything from Kitaro to Michael Brook to Moby in the soundtracks of his famous thrillers. Think of the music, and its effectiveness, as used in Manhunter and Heat, to name just two key examples...
And then... Hollywood, and not just, had a severe bout of selective amnesia.
They, and soon everybody who was attempting to replicate successful-looking movie recipes, forgot what film soundtracks could be like - and stuck to some admittedly charming and successful solutions. These recipes that were then endlessly repeated by endless series of imitators, even big names succumbing to the charm of the found and tested formulae.
To say that it is a sound "expected by audiences" is like saying, with similar disregard for the causality chain, that Alex DeLarge expected to be a good lad in Clockwork Orange. If not brainwashed, we have been auditory cortex-washed by the omnipresent 'norm' that certain compositional and instrumental arrangement recipes have become.
It may rattle many cages if one drops Hans Zimmer's name here. Not that he is the problem, but what happened to his highly successful compositional formulae remains a perfect example.
Many may not recall how experimental and cross-genres composer he used to be. Maybe it is worth revisiting his soundtracks for Rain Man, Thelma & Louise, or Crimson Tide... or even some parts of Gladiator. None of them were intended to be art house movies with experimental scores... They were squarely aimed at the mainstream market, but Zimmer had vastly experimented with exotic ranges of sounds and arrangements.
Apart from a few moments of absolute genius, e.g. S.T.A.Y from the soundtrack of Interstellar (a track that had flavours of Philip Glass's Koyaanisqatsi, seasoned by a pinch of Max Richter), there is a Zimmer recipe that has become a template for what we hear in movies. Using the orchestra for rock-like riffs, staccato minimalist patterns, punctuated with electronic and/or acoustic percussion layers... it is hard to find action scenes in blockbusters that do not follow the template.
Hollywood, a hollow shadow of its former adventurous and risk-taking self, has essentially stopped and even reversed what one could call the evolution of soundtrack composing and orchestration.
Sure, we have Clint Mansell, or Cliff Martinez, or the spellbinding maestro Thomas Newman as examples of stunning geniuses when it comes to thinking in sounds.
We have had Villeneuve taking risks in Arrival, using Johann Johannsson and Max Richter in memorable and mesmerising manner.
We may have had M83 scoring Oblivion, Daft Punk scoring the sequel to Tron, but then their not quite Earth-shattering success was perhaps a re-enforcement for the mainstream studios' perception of "let's just stick to minimalist ostinato orchestral riffs" à la Zimmer & Co.
It is as if huge majority of studios and soundtrack composers are copying the very same formulaic recipe, and then we have even Zimmer self-plagiarising in astonishing manner. Care to hear the shocking "similarities", to put it mildly, between Time from Inception and Journey To The Line from the superb The Thin Red Line?... Some even made videos directly comparing the two.
The fear of moving outside the small world of admittedly captivating but used-to-death compositional recipes we hear in almost every single successful action or thriller movie of recent years has basically killed mainstream movie soundtracks.
"Serious" soundtrack composing with completely cross-genre and cross-technology approach can be phenomenal, and yield mainstream success.
The significance and the highly representative details of the original's soundtrack are a matter of music, and specifically electronic music, history.
However, the sequel was a superb example of what happens even in such films.
The firing of the late and sublime Johannsson, the hiring of Zimmer to make an incredibly self-conscious, trying to avoid imitation and still ending up terribly derivative, soundtrack is a splendid example of the forces that decide what we hear in our movies nowadays.
Is it because directors are not really at the helm of the monster productions any more? Is it because vast budget blockbusters are made by committees, often pre-calculating (or so they hope) the audience reactions with (what they think is) minimising of risks?
James Cameron had quite a say in what and how he used in eminently blockbuster movies not so long ago. Famously, he decided to use for the Titanic drawing scene one of James Horner's early piano-based sketches of what became the main theme, a piece that Horner had not intended for actual use in the film. He himself was quite surprised that Cameron decided to use the piano piece in the very form that it was sent to him - and, as we know, it fitted astonishingly well for the scene in question.
If directors and those with, dare one say, artistic say in the making of mainstream movies do not regain that level of control, we shall see a further flattening of already desperately bland soundtrack compositions. Latter can sound fantastically enthralling and they shake the cinemas' walls with great effect, but they can be lethally bland musically.
Sure, bits of Transformers or Marvel movies are stirring and effectivincredibly formulaic when it comes to compositional and creative thinking.
So Zimmer and his copyists by now are not really a cause or manifestation of a disease, they are the symptoms of a disease... and the direction in which the disease is evolving, in seemingly unstoppable manner, is clear.
Multiplicitas, the extra special double debut album by Magic Bullet, another artistic incarnation of the underground and independent music guru that is Mick Magic. This blog, too had the pleasure over the recent years of savouring and writing about Mick's long-standing travails in the underground music scene - and this is yet another epic creative venture unleashed on the rather surreal world of 2020...
The double album consists of Solidarietas and Curiositas - and they take us from something firmly rooted in experimental sound galaxies to head-bobbing high-octane progressive rock.en-seen misconceptions about the genre state.
In a many ways, the mindset that is required for an introspective work like Klaus Schulze's Sebastian im Traum is needed here. The overall effect, not the individual elements matter here as we are taken on a sonic journey. The processed 'raw materials' certainly seem to fuse time and space, evoking imagery from the Soviet era, moving through the cogs of some immense Pink Floydian machinery, then floating off to some alien corners of outer space...
Tus meditative journey.
As Christmas, its natural setting, and the whole sacred/secular juxtaposition of things around that time of the year got a thorough(ly) prog-rock treatment, why not look at (and dive into) Easter, too?
Thus, definitely not shortage in creativity and inspiration, which means that hopefully other concept albums from Magic Bullet await us in the future. In the current rather unusual, often well-and-truly mad, times it is certainly a very welcome escape from everyday surrealism.

Owners Zak Fleming and Marc Black nearly doubled revenue for the Des Moines-based remodeling firm between 2018 and 2019. How did they do it?
"When I got into it, all the people I wanted to do it with were friends of mine that I wanted in the industry," says Fleming. "They were good at managing their companies, and it dawned on me that it would be better…It wasn't a strategy. It was more a necessity at first."
"I didn't acquire these people. I gave up some of the company to these people."
"Decisions are made as a team, and the company advances as a team," says Fleming. The main thing I love about the strategy is everybody is so experienced and so mature that it makes it really easy to operate," says Fleming. "Low stress levels, everybody knows what we're doing, and they're really appreciative that we took [the stress of ownership] away from them."
I belive this is the path to growth, well done!
Was it a multiplier of gross sales or what?Did they promise to keep all the existing employees on?

We started to officially develop iaiaGi project on May 4, 2014. During the past 18 months, we consolidated our idea and we got aware of its strength. They were 18 months of contacts, discussions, studies, attempts and evolution of us and the project. We started with one person and currently we are 15 actual developers. We got an average of one developer per month. This is an excellent result. Focusing our attention to the past four weeks, we started the process to buy the car we want to use to build our first official ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) conversion into electric vehicle. We are near to buy it and begin our research’s practical activities. However, what is the iaiaGi project?
During the past 18 months we also better understood the potential of our idea, thus we introduced many new concepts in the fields of environment, human being and solidarity economy. These are the foundation of our project, which aims to be one of the first examples of technology applied to a new social and economic model that respects the environment as a basic resource we have to preserve for our successors. The project keeps the human condition and promotes any efforts to make its technological content human being compatible. The mutual knowledge and experience exchanges are developed with the objective to realize a smooth human inclusion in the project. They are preserved as richness. We do all our efforts to promote a solidarity economy, with a focus on the bioeconomy model. All these concepts are within reach of a technological project as iaiaGi is.
With all these values in mind, we decided to adhere to DES Modena (Distretto di Economia Solidale di Modena – Modena’s Solidarity Economy District) association, and we will be present atg to be held on November 7, 2015 in Modena. This is the right place to introduce our project as an innovation in the solidarity economy purview. </s> If you're interested in having us capture your day, let's set up a time to chat!

AlexisMonet: I appreciate all the feedback! </s> I won tickets to 98.7 FM's Penthouse gig with The Joy Formidable, where they played 4 songs from The Big Roar, which will probably end up my favorite album of 2011. It was a low-key affair, but the band turned in some stellar acoustic versions of songs like Austere, I Don't Want to See You Like Thishade.
Singer/guitarist Ritzy Bryan, drummer Matt Thomas, and bassist Rhydian Dafydd told stories, joked around, and just had a good time up on the roof of the Hollywood Tower Hotel while my fellow contest winners and I enjoyed the intimate setting.
The songs translated exceptionally well acoustically, which was a nice treat. Enjoy the videos below.
Jumping right into A Heavy Abacus, the band was in fine form indeed. The song, a swaying, buoyant explosion of rhythmic aggression and gorgeous vocals by Bryan, was the perfect way to begin the short 9-song set. Non-album track Greyhounds in the Slips was energetic and thunderous, although barely anyone in the venue was familiar with the song. Austere and The Greatest Light is the Greatest Shade allowed the band to really get into the groove, so to speak, culminating in the last 3 songs before the encore: Cradle, Buoy (which had a particularly earth-shaking intensity, the guitar and bass swelling and expanding with each roof-rattling drum smash by Thomas) and Whirring, which was turned into a nearly eight-minute wall of sound. Bryan trounced around the stage, assaulted her guitar with a frantic intensity, ran into Davydd, and smashed Thomas's cymbals with her fists during the song's final 3 minutes. Each time I've seen them this year, Whirring tends to be the most memorable moment, as it grows and grows and intensifies to quite an obscene level. Far more than just the band's "lead single", it's easily one of their most captivating songs when played live.
After a short break, they re-emerged for the 2-song encore of The Magnifying Glass and I Don't Want To See You Like This. By the time it was over, their agonizingly short 9-song performance made one thing abundantly clear: I can't wait until they have more music out so they can play longer sets.
In all, it was a great day, capped off by another stunning set by one of my new favorite bands. If you're unfamiliar with them, fix that. They're definitely a band to watch in 2012, as they seem on the cusp of very big things.
Enjoy a photo gallery from the Penthouse gig and the El Rey below. </s> Consider what has happened to department stores. E’s a Sears, another iconic institution, hast’s half a million traditional jobs gone – about eighteen times as many jobs as

Philosophers · List of lists Truth tables are a type of mathematical table used in logic to determine whether an expression is true or valid.
Truth tables were invented to work on the propositional calculus developed by Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, and others. They were first invented in 1917, by Ludwig Wittgenstein, and later and independently, in 1921, by Emil Post. Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus uses them to place truth functions in a series.
The wide influence of this work led to the spread of the use of truth tables. Truth tables are used to compute the values of truth-functional expressions (i.e., it is a decision procedure).
A truth-functional expression is either atomic (i.e., a propositional variable (or placeholder) or a propositional function — e.g. Px) or built up from atomic formulas from logical operators (i.e. ∧ (AND), ∨ (OR), ¬ (NOT) — e.g. Fx & Gx).
The column headings on a truth table show (i) the propositional functions and/or variables, and (ii) the truth-functional expression built up from those propositional functions or variables and operators.
The rows show each possible valuation of T or F assignments to (i) and (ii).
In other words, each row is a distinct interpretation of (i) and (ii).
For example, take two propositional variables, and , and the logical operator "AND" (∧), signifying the conjunction "A and B" or ∧ .
In common English, if both A and B are true, then the conjunction " ∧ " is true; under all other possible assignments of truth values to ∧ , the conjunction is false.
This relationship is defined as follows:
∧ F F F
∨ F F F
In a boolean logic system, all the operators can be explicitly defined this way.
For example, the NOT (¬) relationship is defined as follows:
¬ F T
Logical nandEdit
Compound expressions can be constructed, using parenthesis to denote precedence. The negation of conjunction ¬ ( ∧ ) ≡ ∧ , and the disjunction of negations ¬ ∨ ¬ are depicted as follows:

Logical norEdit
Truth tables can be used to prove logical equivalence. <p>
The negation of disjunction ¬ ( ∨ ) ≡ ∨ , and the conjunction of negations ¬ ∧ ¬ are depicted as follows:
∨ ∨ ¬ ¬ ¬ ∧ ¬ F F F T T T T
Comparing the above two truth tables, since the enumeration of all possible truth-values for and yields the same truth-value under both ∧ and ¬ ∨ ¬ ; and both ∨ and ¬ ∧ ¬ , the two and two are logically equivalent correspondingly, and may be substituted for each other.
This equivalence is one of DeMorgan's Laws.

When do we use 'if'?Generally we use 'if' to imagine, but in this lesson we are using 'if' for conditions, yes!Do you wanna learn how to use if for conditions?
Let's start with the first one, "If he takes vitamins every day he doesn't get sick." This is our first example. What action is being performed here?The action of taking vitamins every day. What do you think when you read the word every day?Something that happens regularly. Regularly. And what happens if he takes vitamins every day?He doesn't get sick. What's that?That's the result. Yes or maybe we can see that's the outcome. So what have you learnt?
Let's look at the second one, "If you pour all on water, it floats." Is that true?Does it float?Have you ever tried pouring oil on water?What happens?Does it sink?No, it floats. And what is this?Is this a scientific fact?Yes and is this always true?Yes, it is. So another way of using 'if' is to talk about a scientific fact which is always true and here also we have an outcome like the first example. I'll write it for you, "T." Like this one here, "If water evaporates, it turns into vapors." Isn't this also a scientific fact which is always true?
With that we move on to the third one, "If you get here before 8:00, we can catch the earlier train." Are we imagining here?Not really!It's a condition again and we have an outcome. What will happen if you get here before 8:00?We can catch the earlier train. But here, why are we seeing this?What is the reason, like these two?"I'll write it for you, "To talk about a possibility." Yes, a possibility in the near future. "A possibility in the near future."
And how do we really form these sentences, where we use 'if' for conditions?Let's find out, the 'form'. So as you can see in all of them, let's keep this one for now we'll come to it later. We have 'if', so we can use 'if' (+) what tense is this clause in?What do you think?This tense is in the clause, is in the 'present simple tense'. So 'if' (+) 'present simple'. And what do we have here?What's this?A little one, it's a comma. It's very important that you have a comma between, what is this?This is called an 'if clause' and this is called a 'result clause'. You can also call this a 'condition clause' and you can also call, call this a 'result clause'. So it's very important to have a comma between the first clause and the second clause. 'If' (+) 'present simple' comma and what is this?"He doesn't get sick," 'present simple' again. But we have no 'if' in the second clause because it's a 'result clause'. There is something you need to be very careful when you're using 'present simple tense', and what is that?Let's look at this sentence, 'if', this one here, "If water evaporates it turns into vapors." Okay, let's look at this word, evaporate but why do we have this is 'S'?Sorry why do we have this 'S' here?Because here we are talking about a third…
Let's look at the last sentence. Doesn't that seem a bit different?Isn't it?We were talking about 'if', where do we get a 'when' from actually 'when' has the same meaning as an 'if' when we talk about conditions. Yes, "When I miss the best bus, I'm late for work." Or, "If I miss the bus, I'm late for work." Does the meaning change?Not really!So you can actually replace an 'if' with 'when' or a 'when' with 'if'. Have you heard that song, "When you're alone, strangers are dangerous…" Have you heard that song?Or, "When you're down, the streets seem lonely…
So this brings us to the end of the lesson and what have we learned today?Do you know this is a very scary grammar topic?It's called 'zero conditionals' Yes, it's so scary, right?

Sheboygan North, Howards Grove prep for sectionals
The Golden Raiders and Tigers will both try to advance to their respective sectional final games.
lBgUooT March 1, 2017
Sheboygan North's Kiara Dallmann (42) looks to pass the ball during action with Waukesha West Feb. 24, 2017, at Norixth-seeded Sheboygan North next faces second-seeded De Pere in the Division 1 sectional semi-final, an opponent the Golden Raiders are very familiar with. They lost both regular season match ups against the Redbirds, but both contests were competitive.
De Pere plays a very different style of basketball than Sheboygan North prefers, so Spielman said slowing down the tempo is going to be key on Thursday.
"De Pere is a very quick team," he said. "They're a good ball handling team and a good shooting team. They're not particularly big, in terms of their length on the offensive and defensive end. It's kind of a contrast of styles to a certain extent. They want to fly up and down the court, throw up a lot of threes and pressure us. Last time we played them, we had 19 turnovers, opposed to their three. W on every possession. We have to take advantage of some of the size opportunities we have, and limit their shots from beyond the arc."
"We're preparing hard for Springs," she said. "Their 1-3-1 defense is something we don't see a lot of, at least in our conference, so we're really working on the offensive side of things. They also have a lot of size in their starting lineup, so we're focused on limiting their opportunities in the low post area. We're working on the day-to-day, fundamental defense."
Howards Grove and St. Mary's Springs will tip off at 7 p.m. at West Bend. S No. 1 Kenosha St. Joseph and No. 3 Racine Lutheran at 4 p.m. on Saturday at Brown Deer.

This Month I shall again feature some
pictures of buildings I have photographed over the last
information on any of these sites, mail me and ask, I shall answer
In common with the other medieval castles in Sussex,
Hastings Castle is
again totally different in style, and completes the set nicely. It's
a type of castle known as a promontory or cliff-top castle, achieved
by constructing a wall and ditch across the neck of an inaccessible
part of the sandstone cliff top.
After William the Conqueror's landing at Pevensey in
1066, he sent his half-brother, Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, to Hastings
where he erected one of the two prefabricated motte and bailey
castles the Normans had carried with them from Normandy. It is not
absolutely certain if the castle Odo built is where the present
castle ruins now stand, although there is a mound next to the ruins,
which is believed by many to be the site of the original.
After William's victory over King Harold at
he divided the county of Sussex into six 'Rapes', with Hastings being
the most eastern of these and, for a time, the most important. The
castle was granted first to Humphrey de Tilliol, brother-in-law of
Hugh de Grantmaisnil, but he returned to Normandy in 1070 and it was
then awarded to Robert, Count of Eu, together with the entire Rape of
The building of Hastings Castle in
Robert soon replaced the original wooden
fortification with stone, and he also established a collegiate church
within the castle, which remained in use until the reign of Henry
VIII, long after the castle ceased to be of importance. Thomas Becket
was at one time Dean of the Church, which although within the castle
precincts, managed to remain separate from it.
The castles ownership stayed with the Counts of Eu
for five generations, except for brief interludes when it was under
the control of the King. William Rufus seized it on one occasion, as
did Henry II and his son, King John, who also ordered its destruction
in 1216 for fear of it falling into the hands of the French.
Hastings Castle was never attacked by a military
force, although it was the target of many uprisings by the local
population. By 1330 it had fallen into a state of disrepair, and the
Dean of the Church asked the king for money to repair some of the
walls, reported to have fallen into the sea. It's ownership was then
given to the church, as it's use as a military stronghold ceased to
exist, although it did return to the Crown for a brief spell after
the town of Hastings and the castle church were plundered by the
French in 1339.
Over the years the castle was granted to various
overlords until it was purchased by Lord Hastings in the 15th
century. The Pelham family took it over in 1591, and it remained with
the Pelham's until 1951, when it was bought by Hastings Corporation
and opened as a public park.
Leeds Castle in Kent was
once described by Lord Conway as "the loveliest castle in the world."
Whilst that claim could be open to debate, it is certainly a lovely
building and well worth a visit. Originally a Saxon royal manor built
in AD. 857, the first castle built here after the Norman conquest was
an earthwork enclosure with a wooden palisade. It was converted to
stone around 1119 by Robert Crevecoeur, with two towers along the
perimeter wall being added. This building work has now completely
vanished and the only traces are some Norman arches in the vaulting,
which were rediscovered in the early 1900's. In 1139 the Empress Matilda invaded England to claim
the throne from King Stephen. She was aided by Robert, Earl of
Gloucester, who held Leeds Castle, but the county of Kent was mostly
loyal to Stephen, and following a minor siege, Stephen took control
of the castle. The Castle remained with the Crown through much of
the next century, and in 1278 it came into the possession of Edward
I. He rebuilt much of the castle and enlarged it considerably, adding
an outer,
with flanking towers and a water-gate at the south-east. The
gatehouse was also strengthened, with its barbican and drawbridge,
it's the most fortress-like feature of the castle, as much of the
rest is more like a comfortable fortified residence.
Leeds soon became known as a 'Ladies Castle', its
royal residents included Eleanor and Margaret, the wives of Edward I,
Philippa of Hainault, wife of Edward III, Catherine de Valois, wife
of Henry V, Catherine of Aragon, wife of Henry VIII, and Elizabeth I,
who was imprisoned here for a while. The castle is best known today
as a residence for Henry VIII, who spent vast sums of money on an
extensive rebuilding programme. It was from Leeds that Henry set off
for his momentous meeting at the Fields of the Cloth of Gold with
Francis I of France in 1520 - an event recalled today in the
e
then. Most of the castle today is the result of nineteenth-century
reconstruction with many additions. In 1926 Leeds was bought by
thShe immediately
began a restoration programme that took her over 30 years to
complete, leaving it as it stands today. Wymondham Abbey in Norfolk
was founded in 1107 by William D'Albini, a close friend of Henry I,
who married Henry's wife, Adeliza of Louvain, after Henry's death.
D'Albini was a great builder and his other credits include
Rising Castle and the magnificent keep
and curtain wall of
Castle, both also featured on this
Soon after it was built, Wymondham was placed under
the care of St. Alban's Abbey as a Priory, and only became an Abbey
in its own right in 1448, less than a century before it was dissolved
by King Henry VIII. At the Dissolution, the monastic buildings were
demolished, together with the Quire of the church. Today only the
Nave, Aisles, and the West and Central Towers remain, which means it
is now only about half of its original size.
- Although a great deal of the Abbey has disappeared,
there is still much to see inside. The twelfth-century Nave is a
scaled-down version of the Nave of Norwich cathedral, and like
Norwich was built of stone imported from Normandy over 800 years ago.
Impressive too is the fifteenth century Nave roof, which has over
seventy carved angels set seventy feet above the floor. Wymondham
today is a family church, and it's dedicated congregation do a
marvelous job in maintaining its beauty.
Henry VI was only 19 when he laid the first stone of
Cambridge in 1441,
although then it was called the 'College roial of Oure Lady and Seynt
Nicholas'. Henry made detailed instructions for Eton and King's
College, although at both sites his main concern was the chapel. He
went to great lengths to ensure that King's would be without equal in
size and beauty and no other college had a chapel built on such a
scale. The foundation stone was laid on 25 July 1446, by the King;
and was the first building of his plan for a great court at
Cambridge. The Chapel was to form the north side of the court,
although it was the only part of the plan completed.
In 1455, the Wars of the Roses started when Edward,
Duke of York, challenged Henry's right to the throne. For the first
11 years of this great unrest, building continued under Henry's
patronage, but in 1461, Henry was captured and taken prisoner. On
hearing the news of the king's imprisonment, the workmen packed up
tools and left the site, leaving an incomplete building, with some
parts open to the elements. Work began again through the patronage of Richard
III, who gave instructions that;
'the building should go on
with all possible dispatch' and to 'press workmen and all possible
d or
delayed'.
By the end of Richard's reign, the first six bays
of the Chapel had reached their full height and the first five bays
were roofed with oak and lead, although after his death at Bosworth,
building work again virtually ceased.
Work began again in 1508 on a much grander
scale than before, and although Henry VII died in 1509, the terms of
his will ensured that money was provided to
'perfourme and end al the
warkes that is not yet doon in the said
chirche', by 1512 the shell was finished and
roofed. Henry VII's executors gave a further £5000 to pay for
vaulting, and by 1515 the main structure was complete. This work, and
most of the glazing of the windows, was done during the reign of his
son, Henry VIII, who was responsible for the screen and the Chapel's
woodwork. In 1547, when Henry VIII died, just over a hundred years
after the laying of the foundation stone, King's College Chapel was
complete and recognised as one of Europe's finest, late medieval
The rest of the Chapel's history is fairly
uneventful, it escaped the ravages of the Civil War and plans were
again drawn up in the 18th century for another Grand Court to
surround the chapel. Again, only one building was completed, the
Fellows' building, designed by James Gibbs, but in the next hundred
years the court was finally finished by the building of the William
Wilkin's Gothic pinnacled gatehouse and stone screen in
- Spofforth Castle in North
YorkshirePercy
shortly after the conquest, although nothing remains of the original
structure Percy built on this site. What you see of Spofforth today
is not really a castle, but a fortified manor, and the earliest parts
olthough
the Percy family had continually built on this site. In the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the building was enlarged
considerably, and gothic tracery can still be seen at the top of the
windows in the great hall.
It soon becomes clear to the visitor that part of the
building has been built into the rock face which backs onto the site,
making it quite unique, with the undercroft being several feet below
the surface of the ground outside. On what is now the ground floor,
the evidence of the vaulted roof remains at the bottom of the
surviving pillars, and the stone frames of some of the vast windows
can still clearly be seen, which would have illuminated the Great
Hall which stood above. The castle was last inhabited around 1604 and
was reduced to ruins during the Civil War. Today it stands tucked away in the corner of the
village green, giving it a lovely peaceful setting. It is now under
the management of English

Extractions: UNITED STATES PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE (USOC/USPC) In October of 1995, the USOC took on the role and responsibilities as the United States Paralympic Committee. As such, the USOC is committed to a long-term investment in elite disabled athletics. With minor exceptions, services provided disabled athletes are comparable to that which are provided able-bodied Olympic athletes. The USOC is dedicated to the integration and advancement of elite disabled athletes into open competition whenever possible. The USOC/USPC is committed to working with both the NGB's and the DSOs to provide top-level support services to elite disabled athletes in training and competing in the Paralympics and other quadrennial disabled games. The USOC Disabled Sports Services Department manages the internal activities necessary to facilitate this progress. Disabled Sports Services also serves as the contact representative for all issues relative to National Paralympic Committee concerns. The Paralympic Games are open only to those elite athletes who meet the rigid qualifying standards of their sport. The term "Paralympic" actually means "next to" or "parallel" to the regular Olympics, as the Paralympics provide elite competition opportunity to athletes with a functional physical disability that precludes their involvement in open competition at the regular Olympics.

The Games brought together more than 4,000 athletes from 125 countries competing in 18 sports. Being chosen to represent your country is supposedly a great distinction, a huge accomplishment, but I didn't feel honored by what I had achieved until I saw how highly Australians esteemed the Paralympics. I live in the most powerful nation in the world, I'm proud to call myself an American, but sadly,like an elite athlete. Over the next ten days, this amazing response from the Australian public never waned. The streets were constantly filled with spectators. People waited in lines for two to three hours hoping to get in to see their favorite Australian athletes. The front page of the newspaper was filled with stories about the Paralympics. The television station broadcasting the games increased their nightly coverage by 30 minutes because the public was demanding more. In the last minute of our game against Australia, the sold out crowd started singing Waltzing Matilda. They were so loud that I could barely hear my teammates on the court. I had to struggle not to smile. Sure, I was upset that we were losing, but I was thrilled that so many people actually cared about the outcome of the game.

Editor's Note: On March 28, Joel Embiid suffered an orbital bone fracture in a game against the New York Knicks. He returned to play on April 19 for the NBA Playoffs wearing a protective face mask. Below, we explain his injury.
76ers star Joel Embiid suffered a fracture to the bones that support and protect his left eye during a collision with teammate Markelle Fultz Wednesday night. Now that his recovery may collide with the NBA playoffs, which start April 14, many sports fans may have a newfound interest in orbital bone repair.
We talked with Donald Mazur, te; Sonul Mehta,, and Michael Rabinowitz, ital. None of them has treated Embiid. The exact nature of his injury has not been reported, but the Sixers have said that his orbital bone was fractured. He also has a concussion.
The orbit is a fancy medical word for the eye socket. The orbital rim, Rabinowitz said, runs above the cheekbone and encircles the outer edge of the socket. Eyes are also supported deeper in the skull by bone walls that surround them. A common type of orbital injury known as a blowout involves fracture to the orbital floor, which separates the eye from the maxillary sinus below it. These bones are often fractured together, he said.
Are basketball players more at risk than other athletes?
"This is a person who uses his eyes and his depth perception as his livelihood," Rabinowitz said.
Mehta said that if muscle is entrapped, people need surgery right away. If surgery is clearly needed for other reasons, she said, it's better to intervene fairly quickly to minimize muscle scarring.
Once the rim is fixed, the surgeon can fix the floor. This involves placing a thin, porous, biocompatible implant above the broken bone. As the bone heals, it will grow into the implant. The kind Rabinowitz uses is made of polyethylene. "Under the microscope, it looks like coral," he said.
Rabinowitz said the procedure is common for surgeons like him. If only the floor is fractured, it takes 45 minutes to an hour. If the rim is involved, it takes an hour and a half. If other facial bones are involved, the time would double.
Most people come through this surgery without problems, Rabinowitz said. About 20 percent have double vision at first. Usually, that's because of swelling. "The chance of persistent double vision is very, very rare," he said.
"Most people don't have any further issues with it," Mehta said. "They end up doing really well."
Will Embiid look the same?
Yes. "He'll still be handsome," Mazur said.
The doctors said that bones in the face heal faster than bones in other parts of the body because of the rich blood supply.
Rabinowitz tells most weeks and then stay away from contact sports for a couple months. An athlete like Embiid, who will have access to high-quality protective masks, could likely go back quicker, he said.
Mehta tells patients who aren't playing sports to expect two to four weeks for recovery. In the beginning, they'll feel congested because the eye socket is so close to the sinus. She tells them not to blow their noses hard and, if possible, to avoid hard coughing and sneezing.
Mazur estimated three to five weeks for Embiid to be back on the court.

Like many people, one of my first two cookbooks–a gift from my grandmother, inscribed to me, so personally meaningful to me–was Joy of Cooking. This was back in the mid-70s, so it was the last version pre-major-revision, and it still has instructions on dealing with small game like squirrels and raccoons, as well as a significant section on freezing and canning. I don’t use it as much as I once did, but it still provides a lot of basic information about specific foods and specific techniques. (For years, I read the description about how to make croissants, and didn’t quite believe it. Is that really how you do it, I wondered?

I started AFDEC because of a problem that l faced with a Nigerian tailor. Shortly before my wedding, l had my already bought wedding gown sitting in the wardrobe, waiting for the best day of my life. But a few days to my wedding, l realised that the gown had become loose because l had lost weight from running around in preparation for the day. So, l decided to find a tailor to help with amending the gown to make it look fit on me because I wanted to look very beautiful on my pre-planned day. It was only a short period from the day and l got a recommendation for a very trusted tailor who could do the job. They took the job with a huge price attached. But the gown is very special; l had to make a 70 percent deposit for the job to be done within the two weeks collection date given to me. I complained that the collection date would be a day to my wedding ceremony but they assured me that there won’t be any disappointment. So, I got there with my best lady to collect the gown on the date l was given, but to my amazement, the gown was only opened and nothing was done fix it as promised. It was few hours to my wedding; every other thing is ready except my gown. Then, l started crying. I wept bitterly and helplessly because it was only a few hours to my wedding. In my effort to solve the problem, l searched online for a directory to help me but l found none. So, l started going from one location to the other searching for a good tailor that could help me out. I visited nine tailoring shops that turned down the job because of the complexities of the sowing and the limited time available to do a good job. I was actually going by foot because there was no one to tell me exactly where to get help. I eventually got to the business hub around Ikeja (under bridge) around 6pm, still weeping. It was there that a passer-by who noticed l was crying asked what the issue was with me. And she said there was one woman down the street if l don’t mind. We got there eventually and saw the woman in a tiny, dirty shop. No lightening in the shop and the woman was surrounded by three little children begging for her attention. We doubted her ability to fix the gown but she assured us she would get it done if we could wait. We waited till 12am the dawn of my wedding day. She fixed the gown very well and it fitted perfectly after she had done all the necessary corrections and amendments. I had the wedding and everything went well. Then two weeks later, l went with a gift to thank her because she saved me from embarrassment and shame. But l met the shop locked and l later got to know that she had been evicted from the shop by the landlord because she could not pay her rent. I tried searching everywhere for her to no avail. And because l failed to ask for her name when we met the first and only time, l adopted the name ‘Ada’ for her. The last thing people in that vicinity knew about her was that she was sick and she could not pay her rent and so she was thrown out. I felt very bad because someone like her that is so talented and very creative could not be liberated from poverty by the skill which she possessed. And so, l decided to look for this Ada by looking for people that are similar to her to empower them.
How did you start the empowerment programmes you do today?
The first workshop l organised was called ‘give her a push’. Remember, the essence of that workshop was to find the Ada. I wanted to gather 100 creative women, fashion designers, crafts and accessories manufacturers in Lagos who needed support for their business. I did a small goggle form which l posted on my Facebook and within three days, l got 2,700 applications. That was how l knew that there are so many Adas outside there who are creative but need help. They need to learn how to make a livelihood out of their talents and creativities. After that training which l did with my personal fund, l was able to identify the problems. After that l did ‘Needs Assessment’ to be able to put the needs in perspective.
What are your findings about the small and medium size enterprises in Nigeria’s creative industry?
We have been able to find out that that though a lot of them have the talent and are very creative, they still struggle and wallow in poverty. We discovered that they need to know how to convert their creativity to making money to live a good life and come out of poverty. We need to help them to help themselves and also help their families. I know that if that Ada had the skill to be able to manage her business well, she will make profit and shedren and help end poverty. That was how the journey of AFDEC actually started. It started some six years ago in 2015.
So far, we have empowered more than 4,000 women across Nigeria. After the first programme which we called ‘give her a push’, we got women asking for how to connect to share experiences and knowledge. In response to their yearnings, we decided to create a WhatsApp group which has grown over the years to about 3,000 women community across Nigeria and Sub-Sahara Africa. We have a community of women running MSME Fashion Enterprises. We engage people in fashion and other related businesses. We have garment manufacturers, accessories which include shoe, bag, leather works in the group. We call the group the AFDEC Family. It is where women come to learn, exchange contacts, get recommendations, and mentorship among other benefits.
How do you get funding for your trainings?
So far, l have funded all our activities with my personal money. Family and friends have been very supportive too.
No funding partners or organizations?
We do not have any. It’s been my personal fund up until the last international women’s day when we got recognition through an agency.
What are the things AFDEC is doing to help its trainees make a living out of their vocation?
Basically we engage in trainings and also show our trainees the business side of their vocations. It’s one thing to learn how to make garment or manufacture accessories and it’s another thing to know how to turn it into a profit venture. The aspect of the business side is where most of our women miss it. They are so passionate about new creations but forget they also need to sustain themselves from their talent. So, we teach them book keeping, customer service, business law. They learn how to attract clients and sustain them. They also learn from us how to be globally competitive. It’s only by competing globally that you can leverage your business. So, we believe if your business is standardized, you can compete globally and also make money as small business ventures outside the oil and gas industry are taking their place in the world economy today. You can earn foreign exchange and gain global relevance through your small business today if you do the right thing. So, we believe that the business side of fashion is very important. We teach our women how to position their business very well to We teach them how to use virtual assistance to push their business because most of the MSMEs cannot afford most of the services they need to become sustainable; we make the services available in our community for them on a group basis.
What additional services do you offer to the people in your community?
We provide access for international linkages like travels and networking. We give them the backup they need to access grants for their business. We stand as referees for them. We give them access to global information about what they need to know to grow their business. We have credit and thrift society where we save money together and give out loan. We do personal and business projects collectively as women too. Through our cooperative, many women in our community have become disciplined with their savings and learnt how to manage money better.
Are there evidences of impact that your organization have made on its people, especially in the area of helping them to convert passion into money?
Yes. We have loads of testimonies of people who were not making money before they joined our community. Some of them got inspired seeing fellow women, doing the same thing they are doing and making a living from it. They are motivated to spur themselves to go out of their ways to also make money from what they have passion for. We have seen a lot of testimonials from transformed businesses. A lot of our women have been able to separate their businesses from themselves and run them properly as a business with good structure. Many have moved from running unregistered business to one that is properly registered as we also render assistance in that area.

August 2, 2017 Medshop Editor
2 percent of Australia’sOf those Australians, one in three takes medication. The other two suffer uncontrolled blood pressure.
That’s heaps of pressure on one island. Since we can’hat?) medical professionals have to continue to try to educate Australians about the imminent dangers of untreated high blood pressure. We’ve come too far since ancient humans to do nothing about it.
While theories existed thousands of years beforehand, it’s only been in the last several hundred years humans have had the ability to measure blood pressure. Just in time too.
The longer humans live on Earth, the more valuable we find this information. Blood pressurone’s health.
Measuring it has been the great work of a few notable researchers.
Hales wasn’t the first to talk about blood pressure. The ancient Chinese and Greeks theorized how the circulatory system worked. Only, they couldn’t prove any of it.
In 1733, Stephen Hales found a way to prove the existence of blood pressure, albeit via a crude methodology. Using a horse, because what human would subject herself to this, Hales inserted a glass pipe into the horse’s artery.
There, one could observe the pressure of the blood in the tube as it fluctuated. Thankfully, we didn’t consider the issue closed at that point.
’s arteries… Thank you, but no thank you, Mr. Hales.
Hales’ observation remained interesting but worthless in the field until Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, a French physicist, and physiologist invented the haemadynamometer.
Prior to Poiseuille, there was no way to measure the variances in the pressure. He created a mercury manometer, which could measure the rise and fall of blood pressure.
The problem was, Poiseuille’s system, like Hales’, was also invasive. He would insert a thin hollow tube into an artery. At the other end was the mercury manometer.
Humans had been using manometers since the 1600s to measure pressure in other applications, but Poiseuille was the first to apply it to blood pressure.
With each pulse, the pressure of the patient’s blood would move the mercury level. One could measure that displacement to find a benchmark for pressure.
In 1847, a German physician and physiologist, Carl Ludwig added the kymograph to Poiseuille’s design.
Ludwig’s kymograph used a floating pen positioned on a revolving drum to track the movement of the mercury. The result was a wave chart, one that would, in theory, be more accurate than previous measurements.
Again, the instrumentation required punching a hole in the patient’s body, into an artery no less. This was not a marketable idea.
It would be another decade before something better came along.
[caption id="attachment_6637" align="aligncenter"] Etienne-Jules Marey | britannica.com[/caption]
In 1855, a French scientist, Etienne-Jules Marey built on a developing concept of a noninvasive system for measuring blood pressure.
The popular theory at the time was that doctors could be able to measure the counter-pressure required to stop a patient’s circulation.
Marey did so by putting the patient’s arm into a sealed glass container filled with water.
He would increase the water pressure until he could detect no circulation in the lower arm. That would be the systolic pressure.
It was crude and wet, but non-invasive.
Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch
For three decades, Marey’s water filled tank was the least-invasive way to measure blood pressure, a lab trick, not much more practical for the field that pushing a glass tube into the patient’s artery.
In 1881, Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch, an Austrian-Jewish physician living in Mexico, cleaned up this idea.
Most historians credit von Basch as the creator of the first sphygmomanometer. He put a water-tight bag around a manometer bulb, placed it over the wrist of his subject, filling the bag with water until the pulse stopped.
Then, by releasing the pressure he could measure the counter-pressure via the mercury in a manometer connected to his device.
Von Basch’s device only measured systolic pressure, but it was the most user-friendly system yet"] Korotkoff Sounds | slideshare.net[/caption]
A small, but important augmentation to von Basch’s design came from the French cardiologist in 1896, Pierre Potain. He used air instead of water in the compression bag.
Then, a man named Scipione Riva-Rocci changed the bag of air, wrapping it around the arm of the patient, inflated by an attached bulb.
Riva-Rocci would inflate the arm wrap until he could no longer determine a pulse. When he released the pressure, the amount by which the mercury manometer moved was the systolic measurement.
In 1905, Nikolai Korotkoff identified what we call the Korotkoff sounds. He figured out by listening to different sounds in the arteries, he could measure both the systolic and diastolic pressure of the circulatory system.
His method is the one which all medical professionals learn to this day.
Managing blood pressure for most Aussies comes down to lifestyle. It’s our diets, but our stress levels too. A doctor is the best resource for treatment, but common recommendations address diet, exercise, and more recently meditation.
In more serious scenarios, medication can help.
Hopefully, all humanity’ecked?

One of the main attractions of colored gemstones is, of course, color. The most valuable colored stones are those with vivid and intense color, such as ruby, emerald and sapphire. However, sometimes a jewelry design calls for a white or colorless gem. When diamond is not practical or cost-effective for the design, the colored gemstone world offers a number of interesting white alternatives.
When small pieces are needed for side stones, the most popular melee is white sapphire. With its excellent hardness (9 on the Mohs scale) and high refractive index, sapphire can be an acceptable substitute for diamond. It can usually be found in sizes ranging from 2 mm, in both round and square shapes.
While sapphire is by far the most common white gemstone in small sizes, there are a number of choices in larger stones. The most common options are sapphire, zircon and topaz. White sapphire can be found in sizes up to several carats in a wide range of shapes: heart, princess-cut, marquise, oval and trillions are common. Round white sapphires usually command a premium, particularly in calibrated sizes.
White zircon is a brilliant gem with a high refractive index. Before the introduction of diamond simulants like cubic zirconia, white zircon was often used as a diamond replacement. Though not quite as hard as sapphire, white zircon is more affordable. The same is true for white topaz. When a white gemstone is needed in a large size - over 5 carats - topaz is the obvious choice. White topaz can often be found at prices under $10 per carat, even in stones weighing over 10 carats.
There are also some lesser known colorless gemstones that offer interesting alternatives. The white beryl known as goshenite hass suitable for all kinds of jewelry. Although it does not have as high a refractive index as sapphire or zircon, it has very good clarity. In fact, goshenite was once excellent transparency. Another rare colorless gem is danburite. With a hardness of 7 to 7.5, danburite is also durable enough for rings. Since it has a refractive index about the same as tourmaline, it can be faceted with good results.

Can someone tell me why someone would buy a car based on it’s ability to race through fireballs?
The obserdity of this commercial has me yearning for the NFL commercials of yesteryears.

Yearning for the days I could kick back, and enjoy some good ole’ fashion American heartland rock by John Cougar Mellencamp….every single god for saken commericial break.

Today’s run was different from my others in a few ways:
1. I didn’t have a set distance I wanted to run.
2. I didn’t have a set pace I wanted to run. (tempo/easy pace)
3. I didn’t read anything.
It was the closest I have ever come to running totally free. I did wear my iPod Nano, but that was only because I wanted to know how far I ran. I only checked in twice for my distance, and I felt a little guilty about it. I told myself that I would be happy if I ran 3 miles without stoping. I had covered up the display on my treadmill, so I didn’t know how long I had run. I couldn’t even tell the passing time from the sunrise because our sun stays in bed until around 9:30am here.
The first time that I checked my time/distance was at the 2.7ish mile marker. The second time that I checked it was 4.5ish. You could have knocked me off my treadmill with a feather when I saw that I had ran 4.5 miles, and not just because I tend to trail off to the right anyways.
So what did I think about for those thirty-eight minutes? Well a lot of things.
1. Should Dear Hubby and I go somewhere for Spring Break?
2. Oatmeal or Luna Bar for breakfast?
3. What is the next book that I should read?
4. Formulating lesson plans for my high schoolers who are reading Othello right now.
5. What outfit will I wear to school today?
6. I think I have to pee?
7. I should have chewed on gum during this run.
8. Sang the lyrics to the Grey’s Anatomy soundtrack from the musical episode
9. I should start looking up the registration dates for some of the Michigan half-marathons
10. Is there a new Glee tonight?
11. Dance Moms isn’t such a bad show; I’m not going to be one of those moms when I put my kids in sports and activities.
12. I wish I could paint that one spot on the wall that’s discolored.
13. I hope the car starts today.
14. What if we had to walk all over the place? I would have calves the size of pumpkins.
15. I think I’ll make pasta for dinner.
And then I was done. I wasn’t sore, I wasn’t exhausted, I wasn’t cranky, I wasn’t depleted, I wasn’t sorry. It was nice.
Question of the Day: What goes through your mind as you workout?
I’m a total nerd. My friends and I keep a shared Google doc to log our workouts. When I’m running, I usually think of something goofy I can write on there about my run that will make my friends laugh.
I have never used Google docs. I think I need to kick my butt and get to learning that. Sounds like a useful tool.
Wow. That sounds so nice… I wish I could be more of a “free” runner. Maybe I’ll give it a shot one of these days. 🙂
I won’t lie, I don’t know how often I can do that on a treadmill. I am eagerly looking ahead to outdoor runs again.
I ran 13 miles Saturday, and all I could think about was Sundays MSU vs. U of M game, and Lays potato chips. I do t know what the chips thing was about, but incidently, they were on sale at Meijer, and yes, I did buy some.

Glassware from the S.S. Northwestern. Museum at Campbell River photo
LOOKING BACK: The S.S. Northwestern – The story of two pieces of glassware
By Beth Boyce, Curator,
When looking at this pink, frilly glassware, you do not immediately think “Shipwreck.” However, this delicate candy dish and vase were recovered from the wreck of the S.S. Northwestern, an incident that has become immortalized in Campbell River’s early history.
The waters to the south of Cape Mudge have long been recognized as hazardous. The combination of the tides and the shallow shoals off the cliffs make for a dangerous mix, especially in stormy weather. A lighthouse installed at Cape Mudge in 1898 in recognition of these dangers had reduced the number of shipwrecks. However, it could not prevent the S.S. Northwestern running aground during a particularly violent winter snowstorm in 1927. The Northwestern was bound for Alaska, laden down with passengers and supplies for the Christmas season, when it went aground just off Cape Mudge in the early hours of December 14.
Although the weather kept rescuers from accessing the ship for nearly eight hours, the 187 passengers and crew were rescued without incident. They were taken to the Willows Hotel where they were accommodated, fed and fêted with a dance at the Lilelana Pavilion while they waited for a steamship to take them safely back to Seattle.
Locals hid their rescued goods from officials who threatened to search all the homes in the region for contraband. Canned goods were hidden under floorboards and behind walls, while the perishable items such as oranges, made slightly salty by their swim in the sea, were immediately enjoyed. It was remembered fondly by Quadra Islanders as one of the best Christmases.

My son, daughter-in-law and 4 year old grandson took me to their favorite Korean restaurant in Arlington, Va. (my grandson has a sophisticated palate) when I was last visiting them. I LOVED THE FOOD!So when I saw that a Korean restaurant was opening in Asheville and not too far from Applewood Manor,I could hardly wait. I read a review in the local Citizen Times right after they opened their doors…it was a bad review complaining of slow service and so on, I am sure it did not help their business!
Just this week Larry and I found the time to go on a date and we elected to give the Korean House on 122 College Street and try it for ourselves. The interior is very clean with stained wood tables and chairs, yet warm. There are huge stainless steel overhead vents for all the tables bordering the side of the restaurant. These are set up for the eventual brassier cooking of meats. As of yet they are not allowed to cook in that manner by the health department……
We ordered an appetizer of Yaki Man Du (pan fried dumplings) and they were to die for!
You can go to www.koreanhouseNC.com and view their menus. I found the place delightful and the food so tasty, fresh and colorful. Well worth experiencing!

In this Chapel Hill, NC custom home, a generous kitchen flows freely into the great room for aesthetic appeal and easy movement. The home owners planned to spend time cooking in the kitchen while helping their kids with homework at the eating bar. After the meal, they planned to relax in the great room, enjoying the music of their grand piano (placed in the open book case pictured to the left).
Wainscot columns were added to give the rooms a visual divide, which is more pleasing to the eye.
The home owners wanted a bit more separation between rooms, without losing distinct lines of sight. In this kitchen design, you can prepare meals alone or as a group - without losing contact between family and guests. The space accommodates all entertainment styles.
Second, decide the overall design theme of your open rooms. Since you've chosen a free-flowing floor plan layout with visibility to multiple areas at one time, it's all about choosing the colors, styles, and features that will add coherent, dynamic presence to each room.

I really loved Debra’s NA novel, Keep You From Harm, so when I saw Like Candy available for download, I immediately requested it. Her writing is so engaging and pulls you in immediately from the first page. Like Candy was no different.
I was actually surprised by a lot of Like Candy. It’s blurbed as a revenge story and while Candy has her moments of pranks and plots of revenge, it’s not the main plot of the book. It’s actually quite confusing, because the plot was. Is it her move? The Romance? The mystery behind Jonah and her father? Answer – it was kind of all of the above.
Candy has such a refreshing voice. She kind of reminds me a lot of myself; in that I do what I want attitude and the whole “get back at those who burned you.” Yet – she has this big heart but doesn’t wear it on her sleeve for everyone to see. She also owns a lot of what many girls do in looking for attention, mainly as a distraction to her own problems. Basically, she doesn’t always live by the “rules” or do things the conventional way, but she owns it.
As far as the romance goes – well. It’s important but not on many levels. I say this because of everything that unfolds in the end, their feelings for each other and Jonah’s secret must play a HUGE part in the next book. Which by the way, you might want to have in your hands after finishing Like Candy because the cliffhanger is a DOOZY! But I digress. I liked Jonah. There were moments when I thought I didn’t, because he was hot and cold a lot and that irritates me to high heaven. But again, THAT ENDING. Things make a little bit more sense.
Have you read Like Candy? If so, what did you think?
Hadn’t heard of this one. From what you say about Candy, it sounds like I’d like herWhy Reading & Blogging are the Perfect Hobbies! Let’s Discuss.

Cattle feeders may be stationary or mobile, single- or double-sided, individual or group. Feeders with stationary distributors differ in shape and size, depending on whether the distributing conveyor passes inside or outside the feeder. feeding calves. Individual feeders for feed concentrates are used at milking plants. The concentrates enter the feeder from a hopper operated mechanically, manually, or automatically according to the milk yield. Feeders of the cowhouse. Also manufactured are sections of feeders for one or two animals, which are supplied to the farm together with other building items.
Feed troughs and pans, used for poultry up to ten days old, can accommodate 35-40 animals at a time. K-ll hoppers are used to supply dry feed to broilers. Adult chickens and turkeys obtain dry feeds from K-12 hoppers, which are larger and have a greater capacity than the K-ll and can accommodate 35-40 animals. Feeders for caged laying hens are built into the cage, and in batteries they form continuous troughs. They are loaded by moving multilevel distributors or conveyorsides. Stm.h..

a device for even and regulated feeding of bulk and piece loads from bunkers, feed chutes, magazines, and other loading devices into transporting and processing machines, such as lathes, mills, and screens. Feeders ar(Figure 1, a-e) are analogous in design to certain types of conveyors; unlike conveyors, however, they have short lengths and more powerful driving motors. The first group includes belt, apron, screw, shaking, and vibrating feeders.
The output of feeders is regulated by changing the speed of the feeder’s drive and the size of the discharge opening in the bunker. In vibrating feeders it can also be regulatoscillations.
(1) In radio and microwave engineering, a transmission line or device a source to a consumer in transmission and distribution systems. Feeders are used chiefly in radio transmitting and receiving engineering, but they also find application in wired broadcasting.
Feeders may be shielded or unshielded. The latter include single-conductor lines in the form of a metal wire or strip, twin-conductor and multiconductor lines comprising a system of wires (a variety of twin-conductor line is the asymmetrical strip transmission line), dielectric wave guides, and quasi-optical refracting and reflecting lines (seeQUASI OPTICS). Shielded feeders include single-conductor and multiconductor shielded lines, for example, radio-frequency cable and symmetrical strip transmission lines, as well as metal wave guides. The basic advantage of a shielded feeder is that the field of the propagated wave is free from external influences, particularly atmospheric effects.
The selection of a feeder design depends on the operating frequency of the source. Thus, unshielded and shielded wires are usually used in the frequency range from 3 kilohertz to 3 megahertz; coaxial cables, from 3 megahertz to 3 gigahertz; metal and dielectric wave guides, from 3 gigahertz to 300 gigahertz; and quasi-optical lines, above 300 gigahertz.

Only consider public art opportunities that are important and relevant to your arts practice. I see too many proposals which do not reflect the artist's concerns or look like a proposal that has been submitted because there is the opportunity and related duty to 'look for work'. While I deeply sympathise with the need to gain paid opportunities, such proposals do not come across with any conviction.

After three months at Cincinnati Children's, Marquis Davis and his family are finally celebrating his homecoming in Lexington, Ky. When Marquis was first transferred to Cincinnati, the 10-year-old heart transplant patient was given a slim chance of survival.
Born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, Marquis received a new heart in 2005. But last November, Marquis experienced a life-threatening rejection.
Dr. Clifford Chin, dldren's, explained that even after many years, rejection is the top cause of problems with any transplanted organ.
Rather than perform a second transplant, Dr. Chin decided to give Marquis' heart a chance to rest and rebuild. Among other treatments, Marquis was given medicine to address the stiffness of his heart muscle after the trauma, and he was placed on a left ventricular assist device.
Marquis is home now and hopes to return to school soon.

Subjects: Cost and cost analysis; Gastrointestinal disease; Genetic counseling; Genetic testing; Health care economic and organization
Abstract: Background: We estimated the cost-effectiveness of universal DNA screening for Lynch syndrome (LS) among newly diagnosed patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) followed by cascade screening of relatives from the Swiss healthcare system perspective. Methods: We integrated decision trees with Markov models to calculate incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-year saved by screening all patients with CRC (alternative strategy) compared with CRC tumour-based testing followed by DNA sequencing (current strategy). Results: The alternative strategy has an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of CHF65 058 compared with the current strategy, which is cost-effective according to Swiss standards. Based on annual incidence of CRC in Switzerland, universal DNA screening correctly identifies all 123 patients with CRC with LS, prevents 17 LS deaths and avoids 19 CRC cases, while the current strategy leads to 32 false negative results and 253 LS cases lost to follow-up. One way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses showed that universal DNA testing is cost-effective in around 80% of scenarios, and that the cost of DNA testing and the number of invited relatives per LS case determine the cost-effectiveness ratio. Conclusion: Results can inform policymakers, healthcare providers and insurance companies about the costs and benefits associated with universal screening for LS and cascade genetic testing of relatives.

2. Discourage Outside, Corrupting Influences. We want the people working for us to only consider the information we present to them as being relevant. When people express an interest in something they read about, maybe on the web somewhere, let them know that it is important they "get all the facts" before deciding to learn about it. Have them go looking for examples of companies where these wild, new-fangled ideas have actually worked. When they come back with some examples, make sure they know that these are not really solid examples because they are from outside the industry you are in, or are multi-national, not multi-continental (other way around works as well!) or they are in environments that are regulated differently than the environment we are in or... any number of reasons why "that won't work here." 3. Encourage Engagement. This is important, too. You want them to feel warm-fuzzy thoughts in their tummies when they think of the company. They want them to think, "Wow. The bosses at TLA* really DO have my best interest at heart when they tell me to do something and I'll be rewarded later. I hope I get a pony as my reward." This is particularly effective in large urban areas where the belief that a pony might be the "reward"is a complete impossibility where the large urban area does not permit ponies within the city. The idea is similar to "A rising tide lifts all boats." That is true, as long as the boats in question have plenty of slack where they are tied-up or moored. We want to be certain there is no slack at all for the people doing our bidding team, before the tide starts rising. *TLA: Three Letter Acronym (thanks to Matt Heusser from whom I blatantly stole that concept.)

Fact was, the testers were putting in a lot of effort and, frankly not many others were.
The Reminder part: So, talking with another tester I know, she was muttering about a project where the developers just did not seem to care, about deadlines, quality of the project, impact on, well, performance reviews, raises, bonuses, and the like. She looked at me and said "Its like they just don't care!" SO, why is it that some people just, well, are not as deeply into making the project work as others? I don't know. Maybe it depends on what is expected, or what the normal approach is for the shop or company or, whatever. Maybe it depends on the nature of the project leadership. Are people being managed or controlled, compelled.
While what is often called craftsmanship is something that seems hard to find.these days, in some places (maybe many places, I don't know) I remember hearing many people speak passionately about being, well, passionate - as a tester, as a developer, or as whatever it is that each one of us is.
I got to thinking some more Friday night and generally over the weekend about this. When looking for places where everyone is passionate about their work, what does that look like? How do you know when you find it? I used to think I knew. I've worked at places where the majority of people were very passionate about what they did. They wrapped much of their view of their self-worth into their work - so if the project was a success, their efforts were "worth it." Then, I started wondering what a project that was a success looked like. I suspect it rather depends on the software development group's target audience. Are the people who will be using the results of your work all working for the company you are working for? If so, "market" is a hard concept - unless the results of their work, with the new system, improves so much that the company as a whole performs better because of the many long hours and weekends in the office and ... yeah, you get it.
And so, what about the other signs? What about the places where people are not passionate about their work. What do they look like? That's easier to find examples...
People lock into rituals and stay there. Arrive 5 minutes after the "start time"; start laptop/desk-top computer; get coffee; drink coffee, eat breakfast; sign on to network; get more coffee; sign on to email (personal)... etc., leave 10 minutes before official "stop time" to "avoid the rush". Use the, "well, I work a lot of extra hours from home and over the weekend" reasoning. (Oh, laptop is still in the dock on the desk as they are heading home.)
The appearance of work counts more than actually doing work. Lots of reports being filed, status reports, progress reports, papers being shuffled up to leads and supervisors and managers and, of course, process management. This is different than using process as an excuse to not do something. This is taking the literal process and ignoring the intent.
Now, What to Do? If you find yourself working at a shop or department or company that you find described above - where it seems you are the only one who cares - what do you do about it? Ask yourself, "Has it always been this way?" Maybe something changed recently, or not so recently. Maybe the change has been gradual.
Sometimes, it takes you being the one to be burned by this behavior to notice it. Sometimes it has been going on with some people and not others and it is your turn to work with these people and - what a mess.
In the midst of growing economic unrest, the military junta ruling Argentina decided that it was time to more aggressively act to raise patriotic sentiment and firmly grasp a nationalist ambition by regaining sovereignty over this small collection of islands off their coast. It was believed that Britain was unwilling, and possibly unable, to respond militarily to a challenge in the South Atlantic overtask force was dispatched and the Argentine forces in Port Stanley, the capital of the Falklands, surrendered after a string of British victories. Yes, there were a series of blows that hurt the British - two destroyers and two frigates were sunk, along with two other ships that were destroyed, and a number of aircraft. The Argentine forces lost a submarine and a cruiser, a World War Two vintage ship that was sunk by a British submarine, along with scores of aircraft.
Know what the risks are. Know what the likely results are. Know what the possible results are. Know that you can not control everything - and sometimes you can control nothing. Plans are great, as long as you don't expect them to be carried out precisely as they are written. Planning helps us understand what problems may be encounteredOh. One positive thing did come out of this. A really nice pipe tune was written by a bagpiper in the British Army who fought in this campaign. The Crags of Tumbledown Mountain is a really nice tune on pipes.

Fish Trap occupies a prime corner space in a plaza at the high-traffic intersection of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Moorpark Street. A former party store, the location now features corrugated metal, reclaimed wood and a prominent refrigerated case to display seafood. A fishing net, aka a fish trap, will soon join the blue and yellow fish logo by the entrance. Morris says, “It’s almost like I’m catching fish from the wild.”
Start with juicy grilled salmon fillets coated with Cajun seasoning and served on a bed of sautéed vegetables with remoulade, hot sauce, a squeeze of lemon, and to round out the container a side of either collard greens or red beans and rice.

Posted byPablo Alonso CaprileJuly 7, 2017July 12, 2017Posted inUncategorizedTags:Leadership, Trading
Performance on the job is crucial, in particular for high-pressure jobs when the tiniest drop in concentration can lead to huge losses or mistakes.
Whilst trading derivatives at Santander, it was imperative to always be full-time focused on the market, in particular when performing a large trade: one had to simultaneously model and give updated prices to the customers whilst listening to six or seven brokers giving market quotes. All of this whilst hedging the customer trade. Sometimes making or breaking it was a question of 1 or 2 seconds: if you missed it, you lost it. And in a market where losing it means being out of a job, you’d better start making it as much as possible if you want to keep receiving your paychecks.
So being able to multi-task was essential and any small mistake or lack of focus could make you lose the trade or even worse, miss the hedge and close the deal already at a loss. One had to be focused, rested and prepared prior to the market opening. So during my time at the Bank, I came across a few performance formulas through different readings and found them very useful tools to keep on the back of your mind.
Invest the final 20 minutes of this morning routine on learning (i.e., read autobiographies of great humans or listen to a leadership podcast or download the lessons of yesterday into your journal).
2. The 90/90/1 Rule:
3. The 60/10 Method:
So, set a timer for 60 minutes and during those intervals, turn off your technology, shut your door and dive—with massive intensity—into the project that matters. Then, recover with a pristine break like walking, listening to music or reading. Just try this protocol for a month and witness the gains.

I fear that increasing Democratic deflection of blame for the results of the presidential election on Russian interference will take away from the necessary self-reflection the Party needs. There is no evidence to show that Putin–nor any other outside actor–interfered with the votes cast. Democratic leaders from all branches and all levels of government must have a meaningful discussion of why so many voters, including many who voted for Obama in both 2008 and 2012, fell out of touch with the party. Why did the "party of the people" suddenly lose the support of their firewall constituency?
Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who has taken the role of "de-facto" head of the Democratic resistance following the election, conceded on "Meet the Press" that one of the decisive reasons that Democrats lost in November was a lack of "a sharp or strong enough economic message." Their soon-to-be-announced proposal, he stated, would be "a really sharp-edged, bold, as." But whose strategy is this?Is it Schumer's, who has spent the past 36 years on the Hill?Or is it from the Sander/Warren wing, which has seen growing popularity among the youth and more broadly following Trump's victory?

The next thing that you will need is a white piece of clothing or simply a sheet.
The material does not matter as long as it is easily spreadable over the surface area underneath the furniture you are checking.
The white sheet is included because it serves the same purpose as the latex gloves mentioned before.
It allows you to check the furniture for pests easily.
To perform the examination, use your flashlight and magnifying lens to examine the cloth closely.
If you are having trouble finding them, a gentle shake of the furniture may assist the bugs in falling out of the surface areas.
Another way to thoroughly check for infestations is to disassemble the whole furniture itself if the parts are removable.
There are areas where the bed bugs live, and it is hard to reach for us people.
Now that you’ve dismantled the bed.
You may use the techniques before thoroughly checking.
Each component and eliminating any bugs that may be lurking.

Ring of Bright Water by Gavin Maxwell. How I loved all his books - a genius, reclusive, wild-life writer who lived on an isolated sandy beach in the north of Scotland. And who loved otters. They were part of his life. In 1956 he apparently wrote, "I wangled him (the otter)d."

I suddenly said to Jon the other day that I hadn’t taken any photos of our baby boy with my ‘big camera’ at all recently. Don’t get me wrong, I have taken quite a few photos with it over the summer, but mainly they have been on our two holidays, or day trips we have done, and realistically that means that actually most of the time he isn’t really in them. He is still in that stage where he will quite happily sit in his pushchair (although the pram is becoming redundant by the day as he really doesn’t like lying flat in it anymore!) most of the day when we are out and about, so as such I haven’t taken many photos of him at all.
Sometimes I do find it a bit of an effort to get the camera out when we are at home, which is kind of silly really because it isn’t that much effort at all. With the convenience of iPhone cameras, often I forget to get my DSLR out at home nowadays. I do feel guilty because when LL was born, I had a lot more time to try and set up little mini photo shoots of her, and generally just more time to take photos of her as well. But we are a lot busier now and with two other little people to look after, it means that I am less quick to think about using my big camera. When Jon and I were talking about it a couple of days ago, he said you must try to a little more, as you don’t want to look back and regret it. And that’s the thing. He really is at the most delicious age to photograph. He smiles on cue, he has the biggest blue eyes and he can’t move, which anyone knows is a big thing when trying to take photos of your children. But it’s just another thing about being the third baby I guess.
I have said before that three doesn’t seem to be any harder than two at the moment. Yes it is more manic and yes it is more hectic, but it isn’t ‘harder’ work. All our children bring their own challenges in their own different ways. But combined as a three it doesn’t really feel particularly much harder than two. And there is definitely something about the third baby. I don’t know many people with three, but all the people that I do know say the same. All the third babies I know are super chilled out. I don’t know if that is because they do have to be lugged around a little, or wait that bit longer while their parents tend to the needs of their older siblings, but our little boy seems to be following that pattern down to a tee.
He is the most chilled out baby boy we could have wished for. When he was born I was quite concerned he was going never going to want to be put down, and for the first few weeks of his life he seemed to live on me entirely. But as time has gone on he is just incredibly laid back. He would literally smile at anyone, which in turn means he gets a lot of fuss and attention when we are out and about, as of course people like to ‘win’ a baby smile and feel special for it. He is happy in his pushchair watching the world go by and when we are at home he will sit there and study us intently, taking it all in. He is a gentle soul and a real observer, just watching everything and anyone. He is happy on his mat, or in his chair now, and realistically I know that I can get the bumbo or jumperoo down from the loft for him now, but at the same time I am not wanting to believe that we are ready for those things and at that stage yet.
That’s another thing about the third baby. You know how fast it goes. I feel the passing of time with every single bittersweet step. It’s a bit dramatic, but while it makes me proud and I adore seeing him learning new skills, another part of me wants to cry at how quick it is going. It almost hurts a little to say that he is now four months, for some reason four months seems so much older than three. In a weird sort of way I dread it being the 18th of each month, knowing that we are ticking off that another month has gone by. Weaning is on the horizon and the thought of it makes me get that horrible sinking feeling that feels a little bit like butterflies in your tummy. It’s all just going so quickly.
Being the third means we are in no sort of routine whatsoever. With Mads I was so strict to get her into a routine, with LL I felt a pressure to get her into a routine because I was worried of the implications on Mads if I didn’t. I remember being so strict to get LL into a nap routine as I was so worried that she would wake Mads up from her naps and I didn’t want her afternoon nap to stop. With our baby boy, I know that he won’t affect the girls at all, so we just go with the flow. I know myself recently that I have said I don’t really think I agree with the phrase ‘making a rod for your own back’ or teaching ‘bad habits’ but actually in a way I kind of do. I deep down know that I am probably doing both those things, but at the same time I have hindsight on my side to know that if I do, who cares? We can try something else further down the line. At the moment his sleeping is terrible. Both the girls were sleeping through at this age, but I don’t have the willpower, energy or even inclination to try and stop what we are doing. He wakes up about two (he usually wakes once before that as well) and comes in our bed and I basically hold him tight and if he stirs, which is frequently, I will feed him again. As such I know that I am making it so he can only really be settled by milk and not self settle, but I am so tired that I will do anything for a bit of sleep. I also know that in a years time or even two, when there is a little boy in his own room shouting mama in the morning, I will want more than anything to go back to these days where we snuggled in close just me and him. So for now I am going with the flow and if further down the line we have to try and implement more of a routine, then so be it.
I find it hard to explain, yet I know that most parents will know exactly what I am saying, because of course I love my children exactly the same way, but in different ways. It is hard to put that feeling into words. But I feel with him that he gives me a chance to do it all again. He is our third baby, our bonus baby, and it is almost like the pressure is off. I feel so much more relaxed as a parent, I know that all these stages won’t last forever, and I know how damn quick it goes. So I am just treasuring it, enjoying it, not even wishing the hard bits away, and loving having our son in our lives. In turn (bar the sleep thing), he is rewarding with me with making this journey so damn special. I feel our connection, I sense our bond and I am loving the intensity that comes with having a baby in the house again. I couldn’t love him any more if I tried. Being the third, or perhaps rather, being the last is a very extraordinary thing indeed. You’ve done it twice before so you are more laid back, you know what to expect, you feel you can handle more, yet at the same time doing it for the last time means that you want to take every single second in.
So I finally got my DSLR out and took a few photos of him. Nothing special, nothing too set up, nothing too fancy. I lay him down on the floor and put him on the big muslin blanket that I have had since I was pregnant. I spent ages looking for a blanket with little birds on as we knew from pretty much day one what we were going to call him. And I just took a few simple photos of him. But they are photos which show exactly how he is at this stage in his little life. Those big blue eyes which observe so intently and which are full of love for his Mama, his Daddy and his sisters.
Our third baby. Our bonus baby. Thank you for being ours. Life is a whole lot more amazing with you in it. I can’t believe we ever thought making the decision to have another one might not be a good idea.
You are the best idea we’ve ever had.

Awww Katie, he is adorable! Time does definitely fly with three. It’s lovely you are making the most of it. xx
Awww, I love him. Such a cutie pie. And I’m sure I don’t even need to say how much I agree with what you’ve written too, I think I’ve loved having a baby most the third time around, it’s just so nice to do it all and feel so relaxed and confident in what you’re doing. x
Oh Katie, What a lovely post! Wren is so adorable and I can really see Lottie in him. I think you do amazingly at taking photos of him, I still can't work out when you are using your big camera or phone as they are all look so professional!! {unless its one of those gorgeous selfies- but again even they look amazing!} I would love a third but I worry about the dynamics of it all and how I would actually cope!!
He is just oh so gorgeous Katie. He really does look so chilled out but I completely agree about how your parenting style changes so much with subsequent children. I’m a second baby and I’m so much calmer than my sister… Wonder if it’s all linked?!
These photos are gorgeous, those eyes! You will definitely treasure these when he is older. I was the same with Holly, I did everything I could to get a bit more sleep. She came in with me, I fed her to sleep just like you. It did improve over time as she got older and she sorted it out herself. We had a long stretch of 1 wake up, a feed and back to sleep. She didn’t go through the night until she was 17 months old, but that’s ok they all do it differently and all get there eventually. I don’t look back and regret anything I did, I loved the snuggly cuddles. You enjoy this time lovely xx
Oh gosh Katie his eyes are just so big and beautiful! You have such a gorgeous little boy. Obviously I don’t know what it’s like to have a third baby, or even a second, but if we did have another I would be the same – wanting to enjoy every second of baby cuddles because I know now how quickly time goes. We didn’t co-sleep with Zach and that is my biggest regret – he is a good sleeper now which I appreciate, but he doesn’t like cuddles, so I feel like I wasted all that time when he was a cuddly little baby getting him used to sleeping on his own xx
Ohhh what a stunning little boy he is. Those photos are absolutely gorgeous <3 I know what you mean about it seeming effort to get the DSLR camera out at home. I find I use mine easily whilst out, but at home it always seems effort! Weird! Your little man sounds like such a chilled and relaxed little baby and from the sounds of it you really are taking it all in! Perfect xxxx
He is so adorable. Those photos are beautiful x
Oh Katie he is just adorable! He seems such a happy and chilled baby, but maybe that’s also because you’re so much more relaxed with him being your third! So lovely to see you all enjoy life as a family of 5 🙂 I’d love to have such a big brood! Best get Tom persuaded, haha.
Not A Frumpy Mum says:
Katie, he is just gorgeous, I love seeing pics of your little man and whilst I’m not a third time mummy I feel a lot more relaxed doing it for the second time. It’s all going a little too fast though, I want to make the most of every minute with him. xx
Gorgeous pictures. I completely agree I love all my children equally but in such different ways it is so hard to explain. A routine will come in time – as you said just treasure these special last moments.
Utterly lovely photos! What a gorgeous smile and I am loving him on Insta stories, you’re making me broody! 😉 xx
Aww he is just so cute!! I’ve always wondered how much of the chilled out third baby comes from having a chilled out third time mum but my Pip is another easy going little one (though also not too hot on the sleep front!) and it makes life so much fun 🙂
He is gorgeous Katie. Your bonus baby is a pretty wonderful idea indeed x
He’s just so gorgeous, those eyes!!! I always forget to get the proper camera out, my phone is so much easier, but I’m now inspired to get it out and take some proper snaps!
Oh he is totally divine and absolutely gorgeous! He was totally meant to be for your family, like a jigsaw piece you didn’t realise was missing xx

I feel like you have took the words out of my mouth. Our little boy Ezra is 10 weeks today. He is our fourth and our last.
There is something special about that for certain, something freeing, but like you describe as you try to savour every last moment, it’s like sand slipping through your fingers.
Like yourself I am so happy that he is becoming more interactive and reaching milestone. However I am desperately sad when I realise he will be six months at Christmas.
I don’t have a DSLR but I am not taking enough photos that’s for sure. I need to get capturing these moments because we never get them back.
Thank you for writing such a beautiful post. I feel so emotional right now , but in a good way.
On a side note I love Wren’s name. I call Ezra ‘my little bird’ because he looks up at me so expectantly. Do what you need to do to be happy. You have an amazing family. Much love to you all 💕
Absolutely gorgeous post and photos as always Katie. I’m wondering how we are going to cope with two and we’ve discussed having three-lol! Enjoy every moment, you’re right a routine can wait, as long as you are all happy and you certainly seem it x
such a little beaut and I love the birdie muslin too – it is perfect for your little bird! Time is flying and it was great you captured him and I am sure in the not so distant futures this will be treasured with those memories!!
I enjoyed reading about the routine thing as I have been laid back with the others over routines but this time, starting this week actually at 6 weeks I am beginning some sense of routine with her which is so different for me and I thought id be more like you and just go with the flow and give her milk when she wanted etc,,, i have fallen asleep feeding too many times though and think I need to train her haha its funny how we do things differently with each of our kids and with what we learn from the others before them x
He is absolutely gorgeous Katie. Enjoy it because I found with each baby the time seems to go faster, it only feels like a few weeks ago I was enjoying night feeds with Arthur, and now he is 3 years old, and he is amazing in every way, but oh how I wish he was still a little baby again. x
Wow – such a lovely blog post. I’ve just caught this via the me and mine link. I’m a mum of 3 and what you have written is exactly how I feel. My baby boy will be 10 months in a few weeks it’s all going far to quickly and he is too just the most chilled happy baby. I too I’m struggling with the nights ! Always nice know I’m not alone in the world! X
Such a lovely post and beautiful photos, as always! Your baby boy is absolutely gorgeous x

The collection features contributions from rhetoric and writing studies; communication studies; speech and hearing; anthropology; and cognitive sociology. In this review, I'll zero in on two of those contributions.
Hengst illustrates this point with "narrative tellings" taken from semistructured interviews and observations of pairs that included an individual with aphasia and one without (p.117). Through descriptions and transcriptions, Hengst demonstrates how the participants combined narrative, gestures, and other symbolic resources (such as a map) to jointly tell stories.
Prior connects this empirical work back to the notion of chronotopic lamination that he had developed earlier with some of the other contributors to this book: "the simultaneous management of multiple social frames and footings as laid out by Goffman ... and Goodwin and Duranti..." (p.228). Here, chronotopes are linked or laminated. Chronotopes can be representational (narrative) or embodied (experiental), but they can also be embedded in affordances, such as when the chronotope of the road is embedded in "such sociomaterial forms as roads, signage, maps, and inns for travelers" (p.228). And "in activity all three of these chronotopic dimensions are necessarily fused" (p.229, his emphasis).
Overall, this was a really interesting and useful book. I haven't done justice to all of the contributors in this review, but the two chapters I have overviewed should give you an idea of what the rest of the book offers. Pick it up!pected to perform comparatively in gym class" (p.70). However, in terms of mental development, it's a different story: students with brain development differences "are expected to perform comparably in terms of executive function-dependent capacities labeled as responsibility, self-organization, self-direction, self-discipline and the like, in order to earn passing grades in most academic classes" (p.70). Such capacities are typically not treated as developmental differences but as "well within the control of the child" (p.71).
And since they are treated this way, "the negative consequences applied to a child not performing up to such standards can be severe, unreasonable, and often uncompromising in nature" (p.71). We wouldn't chastise an 80-pound boy for losing three straight wrestling matches to a 120-pound boy, but parents and teachers do chastise students who don't perform at grade level due to developing executive functions. "School staff does not see the inordinate time and effort the student is placing into completing school work and the strain that this additional effort is placing on the child at home" (p.138). And for many students, "when no specific learning disabilities are identified and ADHD is ruled out ... they are frequently subjected to what amounts to character assassination" (p.138, my emphasis). Poor production is attributed to moral rather than developmental factors: "laziness, apathy, lack of motivation, overt hostility, or lack of respect for authority" (p.138). These attributions may ease the conscience of instructor or parents, the authors note, but they don't solve the problem—they only exacerbate it (p.139), and they become part of the story the child tells herself about herself. Rather than setting the student on the right path, they morally condemn the student for not doing what they literally cannot do.
Executive functions are "mental capacities that direct or cue the use of other mental processes and/or motor responses" and that "have some link to activation of portions of the frontal lobe regions of the cerebral cortex" (p.38). The authors identify 23 of them: perceive, initiate, modulate/effort, gauge, focus/select, sustain, stop/interrupt, inhibit, flexible/shift, hold, manipulate, organize, foresee/plan (short term), generate, associate, balance, store, retrieve, pace, time, execute, monitor, correct (pp.41-43, with definitions). As the authors note, as the cerebral cortex matures, these capacities can develop socioculturally. And when parts of the cerebral cortex mature more slowly than others in the age cohort, these capacities (such as the ability to focus, organize, or plan) do not develop as quickly, and thus "simple" school activities—such as paying attention, extracting information from a complex reading, or keeping up with one's schoolwork—are far more effortful for the student than for her peers. Yet for the casual observer, these difficulties seem to be of the student's own making: if only they would pay attention, apply themselves, or take the time to think ahead!
As this passage implies, EFs such as "focus" are constructs that describe capacities emerging from the interaction of brain structures (in the case of "focus," these structures likely include the anterior cingulate and the dorsilateral prefrontal cortex) (p.83). The authors overview the likely brain structures associated with all 23 EFs (pp.83-85).
The authors discuss assessment as well, overviewing common EF measures and how they are combined to initiate measurable production decrement cascades (pp.120-122) and production increment cascades (pp.124-125). They note that EF difficulties are often not recognized unless they combine both learning difficulties and production difficulties: when the child has only learning difficulties, these are often not recognized, and when the child has only production difficulties, these are typically attributed to character flaws (i.e., the child is learning, but just doesn't want to do her homework) (p.137).
Fortunately, change is possible: "brain function can be altered through intervention" (p.179): Children can be taught how to activate neural networks to achieve positive goals (p.180). Beyond those interventions, the brain will typically mature: "for many children faced with overly aggressive expectations for brain maturation, a little timelevels of self-direction. For others with more substantial delays, the ultimate solution to the executive difficulties being experienced may simply be much more time" (p.184). How much more? "Children with ADHD typically experience a 30% delay in the development of specific self-regulation capacities"—so if you are waiting for your child to exhibit the self-direction of a 20-year-old, you may have to wait until she is 30 (p.184). That's a long time—but it will happen.

How to Stay Healthy Going Back to School During the Coronavirus Pandemic
With COVID-19 still spreading, experts weighed in on how you can stay safe.
ATeen Vogue's Fear and Learning in America series is exploring what back to school means for students this year, and what they think about learning during the coronavirus crisis.
Students and teachers alike have voiced concerns about returning to a high school or college campus a and those fears have proven to be pretty well-founded: In early August, photos of maskless students standing close together in Cherokee County, Georgia, went viral online; days later, more than 1,200 students and staff members in the county have been ordered to quarantine themselves, the New York Times reported. But with distance learning creating outsized barriers for already marginalized students, and taking an emotional toll in the process, some students may not have a choice in whether or not they return to an IRL classroom.
That depends on many factors, including whether your school is located in a “hotspot” where cases are still trending upwards; how your school is helping students practice social distancing, such as by creating classroom bubbles or adopting a “part-time remote” model; and whether administrators are enforcing widespread mask-wearing as diligently as they do their sexist and racist dress codes.
E. Susan Amirian, PhD, an epidemiologist at Rice University in Houston, Texas, agrees. “In n, schools need to weigh several complicated factors, including: COVID-19 transmission risk; availability of resources to modify the school environment to make it safer; ability to make modifications to schedules, classrooms or buildings before school starts; willingness of everyone involved to cooperate with public health guidelines; and how students, parents, teachers, and staff feel about reopening,” she said.
If your school isn’t being forthright about that information, reach out to your district’s office for further information, and hold them accountable until you receive details that affirm their commitment to your health. And as Amirian pointed out, you are absolutely justified in doing so: “As a student, you should feel empowered to voice your concerns to your school and ask them to provide responses to these concerns,” she said. “Students need to joinmedia by adults, like politicians, medical experts, parents, school administrators, and teachers.”
“No one wants schools to have to stay closed, but if a careful approach is not taken to reopening, this could have consequences for the broader community too.” Amirian said. “If schools are reopened in an area with high community transmission and this results in further spread of COVID-19, then this can easily impact the community where the school is located.”
Bhuyan suggested creating a “what if?” plan if you or a family member does get sick, especially if you live in an intergenerational household. A lot of students, she said, are “not just living with parents, they're living with aunts and uncles and cousins. And these are the homes that are being devastated by COVID,” she said. “For those families, it's important to have a plan for isolation if that student themselves becomes sick: Is there a place that the student can go, is there a place that family members can go, is there a way that they can isolate even within the home from that student?”
My school is already underfunded — what does that mean for going back during a pandemic?
It’s no secret that schools are in desperate need of funding, and a report by EdBuild found that school districts with a majority white student body often have more money to work with than school districts with mostly students of color. That matters, especially given the fact that the pandemic has impacted Black, Latinx, Native, Asian, and other marginalized communities in unique and outsized ways.
“As a society, we need to acknowledge that many of our schools, especially those in more vulnerable communities, are under-resourced and under-funded,” Amirian said, adding that “asking those schools to implement extensive preventive strategies and reopen safely for in-person instruction in the midst of high community transmission is unrealistic, especially if there is no societal commitmento what needs to be done to keep students, staff, teachers, and their families safe.”
And as Bhuyan noted, failure to do so might lead to further disparities between students based on their economic status. “A lot of the safety protocols that school systems need to put into place take resources,” she said. “It's the lower-income schools that don't have as many resources and might not be able to implement those protocols.”
By now, you’re probably a pro at enough distance from other people. And while you might be tired of these protocols, staying committed to these habits may be key in doing your part to slow the spread of the virus. Bhuyan recommended having lunch or hosting a club meeting outside as much as possible, as well as staying home if you’re sick with anything — even if you think it’s just a common cold.
“Before, if somebody had the sniffles or a cough, I know that students would just suck it up and go to class,” she said, stressing that being marked “absent” is a far better option than potentially infecting other people. “Anyone that has fever, even runny nose, cough, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches — all of those could be symptoms of COVID. So it's important to stay at home and make sure that you have access to testing.
What if I can’t avoid crowded hallways or high-traffic dorms?
Many schools aren’t built with social distancing in mind — look no further than that viral image of a packed hallway in Paulding County, Georgia, for proof. It’s because of this that remote learning options provide a safer alternative.

So because of this, we got on the ITX and stood almost all the way. Thankfully, the ride took less than an hour. We asked a couple of ticket inspectors if there might be any problem, and they just said “It’s okay.”
And there, everything started to become confusing. The guards and officers spoke to each other in Korean, and to explain the problem to us, they used Google Translate. You can probably tell how well that worked. The guard who spoke to us tried different permutations of “finished after the situation” — which we didn’t get at all — till he landed on “posthumously released.”
