Julie Kay Kelly has been chasing stories for as long as she can remember. Driven by a lifelong obsession with capturing the ephemeral, she trained at Stanford and the Columbia Journalism School before spending years as a radio, newspaper, and magazine journalist. Her storytelling has taken her from migrant worker centers to maximum security prisons, from the jungles of the Amazon to the heart of the luxury wedding world. In 2007 she launched her own storytelling and photography business. You can learn more about julie’s wedding work here. Julie has always found a deep magic in listening for and capturing stories. She believes that doing so helps us become present to the narrative arcs of our lives, more aware of the big picture, and increasingly attuned to the sacred in each moment. To listen for and capture a story is to honor deeply. It is to focus on what we love and cherish, and to create a way to celebrate it again and again. Julie believes our stories are all connected, and that love and celebration can be used as powerful assets. A percentage of proceeds from each storytelling project goes to people in need, many of whose stories Julie has had the privilege of capturing and sharing.

Cardiac rate is routinely assessed by the radial pulse. The examiner should stand in front of the patient and grasp both radial arteries. The second, third, and fourth fingers should overlie the radial artery, as shown in Figure 14-22. The examiner should count the pulse for 30 seconds and multiply the number of beats by 2 to obtain the beats per minute. This method is accurate for most regular rhythms. If the patient has an irregularly irregular rhythm, as is found in atrial fibrillation, a pulse deficit may be present. In atrial fibrillation, many impulses bombard the atrioventricular node and ventricles. Owing to the varying lengths of diastolic filling periods, some of the contractions may be very weak and unable to produce an adequate pulse wave despite ventricular contraction. A pulse deficit, which is the difference between the apical (precordial) and radial pulses, occurs. In such cases, only auscultation of the heart, not the radial pulse, provides an accurate assessment of the cardiac rate.

Paleologos over at DF has found another illustration by Jean Wells meant for B3 that was published in Polyhedron (issue #3, pg 10, "Plant Creature"). This one illustrates the Jupiter Blood Sucker, a new monster from the original orange covered B3 that didn't make it into the revised version. Paleologos suggests it is the precursor to the Vampire Rose in the revised version. A few days back I posted a picture of Greyhawk's Green Dragon Inn from the AD&D Coloring Album written by Gary Gygax (published by Troubadour Press, 1979 under license from TSR). This reminded me of a connection to the Blue Book: the map in the Coloring Album (by Greg Irons) is a redrawn version of the map in the Blue Book (possibly by David Sutherland based on a design from Holmes). This was originally brought to my attention in a review of the Album by Kent Kelly on the Acaeum. I've posted about this before on the DF and OD&D74 forums, so to justify revisiting the topic again I've made an improved visual (see above). I scanned the entire oversized map from the Coloring Album, which took three scans that then had to be stitched back together (if you look closely you can see the staples where the map overlaps the center of the book). I then juxtaposed this with the Blue Book map for a side-by-side comparison (click on the map above for a larger view). The Coloring Album is a strange chimera of two different activities. The first is the coloring book: an illustrated story of adventurers who meet at the Green Dragon Inn in Greyhawk City and begin a quest in "search of a fabulous treasure". The pages alternate telling the story with fantastic full-page scenes of the party encountering various AD&D monsters. The other activity is a board game entitled "Adventure in the Dungeon", also by Gygax. This game is somewhat like Dungeon!, features different characters from the coloring book story, and uses the map pictured above (found in the center of the coloring book). Some of the monsters in each are the same, some are different. The rules for the game are explained in short paragraphs at the bottom of each page that tells the coloring book story. Thus, a low level Basic dungeon is transformed into a high level dungeon for a simplified AD&D game. In a future post I'll review the rules for the board game. Maxwriter on the OD&D Discussion Forums alerted me to this a few weeks ago. The cover of Knights of the Dinner Table #177 (July 2011) pays tribute to David Sutherland's iconic cover of the Holmes Basic Set, with Brian as the wizard and Dave as the fighting man. It's by artist George Vrbanic. Coincidentally, I just read a KoDT compilation for the first time this past summer: Bundle of Trouble #23 (KoDT 77-80), which includes the "Dawgs of War" strip. I found it addictive & hope to read more, though the sheer number of issues is a bit overwhelming. As a follow up to last week's post on the Green Dragon Inn mentioned in the Blue Book, I spent a little time looking in to the publication history of the Green Dragon in Greyhawk, which I'd read was owned at one point by Robilar, PC of Rob Kuntz. "Here at the Green Dragon, a busy inn in a town on the shores of the Lake of Unknown Depths, a group of adventurers have met to plan a daring expedition in search of a fabulous treasure. They sit at an outside table, quaffing amber ale and charting their course to wealth beyond belief ... The innkeeper, his wife and the stableboy are all busy caring for the wants of the adventurers, for they known the party will soon set forth on their quest - possibly to return loaded with bright gold!" That's about it, other than the accompanying picture (see above) by Greg Irons, who illustrated the entire album in fantastic detail. See more pictures from it here. I found a "Green Dragon Tavern" in Dragon #37 (May 1980), but it's actually yet another one, found in a town in the module The Pit of the Oracle by Stephen Sullivan. What's ironic is that this same issue has a Sorcerer's Scroll column where Gygax states that "The City of Greyhawk might make a 1981 publication date, certainly 1982, and about the same time the series which will eventually represent the whole of the Dungeons of Castle Greyhawk will begin" and further provides information on Robilar (and other Greyhawk notables), but without mention of the Green Dragon. I also have Artifact of Evil (1986, TSR), which is a Gord the Rogue novel by Gygax, where the Green Dragon is the location of a brief meeting between Gord and his druid friend, Curly Greenleaf. The "Green Dragon Inn" is described as "a place frequented by foreigners, mercenaries, tough adventurers, and others of less savory aspect" (pg 35). There's another appearance in Night Arrant, a later Gord novel published after Gygax left TSR that I don't have a copy of. So it appears that most of what is now known about the original Greyhawk Green Dragon is from much more recent interviews and columns. Holmes' Green Dragon was first mentioned in the Blue Book, which was published in the Fall 1977. While it is possible he heard of the Greyhawk Green Dragon directly from Gygax or others at TSR, it is more likely a separate creation with a name inspired by Tolkien's Green Dragon in the Shire. Sacnoth's Scriptorium is a blog I follow, by John Rateliff, author of the excellent The History of the Hobbit (2007). See here for an interview with Rateliff about THotH. Besides having the original draft of the Hobbit (and a fascinating unfinished 1960 revision), the two volume THotH is crammed with detailed short essays on a wide variety of Tolkien topics related to the subject matter. Also of interest to gamers, Rateliff previously worked for TSR and WOTC. A long while back he wrote a great series of retrospective articles for free downloads of classic TSR modules available on the WOTC site, including one for the original orange-covered B3 Palace of the Silver Princess. And in relation to the legacy of Holmes Basic, he was the author of Return to the Keep on the Borderlands (1999), part of TSR's Silver Anniversary series. His blog covers a wide range of topics, personal and professional. Yesterday's post is a review of the Red Eye of Azathoth, a new scenario for The Call of Cthulhu. And so we come to the end of this year's Tolkien week. Here's a summary of Tolkien references in the Blue Book. - The 1st print (Lizard Logo, Fall 1977) uses "hobbits" throughout. The 2nd print (Lizard Logo, Jan 78) changes most to "halflings" but still uses "hobbits" in five locations. In the 2nd edition (Wizard Logo, Nov 78) and later printings a sole reference to "hobbits" remains, in the description of the spell "Cure Light Wounds". -Two references to Balrogs on page 14; discussed previously. -A reference to the "Nazgul of Tolkien" in the Monster List entry for Spectre (pg 32), and to "Barrow Wights (as per Tolkien)" in the entry for Wight (pg 33). These are straight from the original entries for Spectre and Wight in OD&D, Vol 2 (Monsters & Treasure), pg 9. It's clear from the above that Holmes edited the Blue Book from one of the earlier printings of the OD&D rulebooks (i.e., prior to the removal of the Tolkien references). While all of these references were removed from the OD&D booklets, only "hobbits" was removed from the Blue Book. -"lawful werebear" (pg 7); most likely a reference to Beorn in The Hobbit; discussed previously. -"Drego the thief" (pg 12). The name "Drego" is a very hobbit-sounding name; it is particularly close to Drogo, the name of Frodo's father in The Lord of the Rings. -"The imaginary universe of Dungeons & Dragons obviously lies not too far from the Middle Earth of J.R.R. Tolkien's great Lord of the Rings trilogy" (pg 40); discussed previously. -"Green Dragon Inn" (pg 41); discussed previously. Tenfootpole has a new review of the Skull Mountain module, Jeff Sparks' take on the famous Blue Book cross section of levels, published in 2010 by Faster Monkey Games (and still available for purchase on their website) for the Labyrinth Lord system (a B/X retroclone). He's also posted the review in this review thread on Dragonsfoot, which has an earlier review by petespahn. See also last year's review by Grognardia. "The imaginary universe of Dungeons & Dragons obviously lies not too far from the Middle Earth of J.R.R. Tolkien's great Lord of the Rings trilogy" (pg 40). This is one of the stronger statements in an early D&D rulebook associating the game with Tolkien's work. Gygax generally tried to distance the game from Tolkien. "[In the new Basic set] there is a page-long list of "inspirational source material" which is more complete than the one given in the AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide. I didn't have such a list in the first edition; this is someone else's inspired idea. I wish I'd thought of it. Do you know there may be people out there playing a D&D game who have never read The Lord of the Rings?" "Literary inspiration for the worlds of the fantasy role-playing games comes from many sources. The fantasy worlds of Dungeons & Dragons and Chivalry & Sorcery are based on the myth and fairy tale. This field of literature is dominated by the work of one man in this century: J. R. R. Tolkien. Without the popularity of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, fantasy role playing would not have found the wide public it now enjoys. Despite this, most fantasy games are closer to the wild, blood-thirsty worlds of Fritz Leiber, Robert E. Howard, and L. Sprague de Camp ... As Dungeon Master, I have drawn extensively on the works of A. Merritt, Andre Norton, Clark Ashton Smith, Lord Dunsany, Edgard Rice Burroughs and H. Rider Haggard" (pg 46). "In the 1960's and 70's another phenomenon occurred which was to change the face of wargaming forever. J.R.R. Tolkien's wonderful book The Lord of the Rings was published in paperback and was discovered by an immense audience of young people. This epic adult fairy tale, without doubt the greatest work of fiction produced this century, inflamed the imagination of an entire generation. The story, as most readers now, involves the clash of great armies of men, elves, dwarves, goblins and magical creatures. The prelude to the epic, a children's classic, The Hobbit, is the tale of a quest to steal a dragon's hoard of gold. It wasn't long before wargamers were introducing armies of orcs and dwarves into their medieval battle plans" (pg 63). The comment regarding the "greatest work of fiction" is prescient in view of LOTR winning readers' polls for the best book of the 20th century. "The world of D&D is based on the legends, fairy tales and literature of Western Europe, with a scattering of items from other cultures. To some extent it resembles the Middle Earth of J.R.R. Tolkien's grand epic, The Lord of the Rings. The D&D world is filled with far more marvels than Tolkien's classic, however ... In many ways it is more like the ancient Hyperborean world of Robert E. Howard's Conan or the magic-ridden universe of Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser than it is an imitation of Tolkien. The rules of D&D conform to Tolkien, however, and to a lesser extent to a common background of myth, fairy tale and literature" (pg 70-71). "At the Green Dragon Inn, the players of the game gather their characters for an assault on the fabulous passages beneath the ruined Wizards' tower" (pg 41). This name comes from the one in the Shire in The Lord of the Rings, which also independently inspired a Green Dragon in Greyhawk City owned by Robilar (PC of Rob Kuntz). According to Wikipedia, Green Dragon is "a popular name for public house in England and Wales". For example, see the screenshot above grabbed from Google Images. Dr. Holmes later used the Green Dragon in one of his Boinger and Zereth stories (The Sorceror's Jewel, Dragon #46, February 1981), where the inn is the residence of the heroes. Several events take place at the inn. In the beginning of the novel Maze of Peril (1986), a prequel to the earlier short stories, Boinger and Zereth meet for the first time at the Green Dragon. Boinger and companions hire Zereth to accompany them while exploring a newly discovered entrance to the ancient Underworld. The town in Maze of Peril, Caladan, is similar but not identical in detail to Portown. Finally, in his 1981 book on FRPGs, Dr. Holmes refers to a "player character sitting in the Green Dragon Inn or the Spaceport Cantina does not overlook a slighting remark from the cat-man at the next table. His hand drops to the hilt of his well-worn broadsword, or the handle of his laser pistol. "When you say that, stranger, smile so your whiskers stick out!"" Green Dragon Inn Part II, where I look into the history of the Green Dragon Inn in Greyhawk. As I noted, here the example of a Balrog PC has been changed to a centaur, werebear and Samurai. The most likely inspiration for "lawful werebear" in this list is Beorn from the Hobbit. Beorn travels with Bilbo and Gandalf twice, once to the edge of Mirkwood, and once on the return trip from the Lonely Mountain, a member of the "party". Thus, even though the reference to the Balrog has been changed the example retains a Tolkien influence. I consider this one of the Tolkien allusions added to the Blue Book by Dr. Holmes (there a few, which I will discuss further in another post). I started with D&D in 1982 at the tail end of the Holmes Basic era. My first set was Holmes Basic with B2 and chits. Two brothers who were neighbors had the same set, and the Monster Manual (which I found simply enchanting) and showed me how to play. My first character was a magic-user named Greedo (after one of my favorite Star Wars figures) who quickly ended up with a +10 dagger, +10 ring of protection and an artifact that could summon the creatures of the Zodiac. It was a blast, and I was hooked. These days I am a player in an AD&D group. I've been with my current group for over a year now, and we've been exploring T1-4 since last fall. We play twice a month, in person. I can be found at the Acaeum and OD&D Discussion forums as Zenopus, Dragonsfoot as Zenopus77, and Knights & Knaves Alehouse as Zenopus Archives. Yesterday I discussed the sources for the two references to Balrogs in the Blue Book. For the second day of Tolkien week, I'll discuss another instance where Holmes did not retain a reference to Balrogs. "There is no reason that players cannot be allowed to play as virtually anything, provided they begin relatively weak and work up to the top, i.e., a player wishing to be a Balrog would have to begin as let us say, a "young" one and progress upwards in the usual manner, steps being predetermined by the campaign referee" (pg 8). "Interestingly, I played a Balrog in Greyhawk. Yes, THE Greyhawk. Of course, I started as a 1 HD, very weak Balrog. THAT is the problem, and why Gary later changed his mind; there is virtually constant pressure from the player of an unusual character to power up her or his character, and only a referee of the judgement, skill, and determination of Gary, Rob, and Dave can juggle this without totally unbalancing the game." According to a post on Tome of Treasures (from the work of forum member harami), the reference to Balrog PCs persisted through the 5th printing of the OD&D set (~Spring 1976), finally being changed for the sixth printing (~late 1977) to replace "Balrog" with "Dragon". The other references to Balrogs (as well as Hobbits and other Tolkien references) were also removed from the 6th printing of OD&D. "At the Dungeon Master's discretion a character can be anything his or her player wants him to be. Characters must always start out inexperienced and relatively weak and build on their expedition. Thus, an expedition might include, in addition to the four basic classes and races (human, elven, dwarven, hobbitish), a centaur, a lawful werebear, and a Japanese Samurai fighting man" (pg 7). Thus, while Holmes retained several other references to Balrogs in the Blue Book, here he chose to replace the example of a Balrog PC with a centaur, werebear and Samurai, presumably because these are less extreme variants for a beginning DM to handle. The revised sentence is well remembered due to the evocative imagery of these non-standard types in conjunction with the wide distribution of the Basic Set. The idea of a Balrog PC might be more widely remembered if Holmes had retained the original example. SUBJECT: Fantasy role-playing rules are provided for an initial campaign. PLAYING TIME: This is discretionary; typically, four to six hours. KEY FEATURES: With the addition of a few new spells, this is straight Dungeons & Dragons— but only part of it. Essentially, this is a condensation and reorganization of material from the first three rule books plus the supplements that directly pertain to starting a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Only things appropriate to the first three character levels are included, so all the charts and tables are truncated. Also, included are a set of play aids useful for the beginner: polyhedral dice, a monster and treasure list for random encounters, and a set of “dungeon geomorphs”—uncoded modular sections that can be arranged in different ways to construct a dungeon setting quickly. COMMENTS: Basic Dungeons & Dragons is only a starter set and effectively obsolete a few weeks after you get a campaign going. It was written (“edited,” if you prefer) by someone outside the TSR establishment who knew a noun from a verb, and the difference shows. It’s still a long jump short of perfection, but you can read this and generally understand what’s going on. The playing aids are useful, if only as examples. It’s still preferable to participate in an ongoing campaign, but if you must venture into RPG country without a guide, this is the first place to visit. OVERALL EVALUATION: Good but incomplete. I've added a new section to the website that will cover contemporary reviews. This is a review of one of the earlier printings of the Basic Set. The Geomorphs and M&TA were gone by the second edition of Nov 1978, so this review was a bit out of date by the time book was published. By 1980, the Basic Set was already on to its second module (B2). The recognition of Holmes' editing skills is nice, though a bit harsh on the grammar of the LBBs, which I don't think are as poorly written as commonly perceived. Holmes, after all, in many places uses language directly from the LBBs. Today is the first day Tolkien Week, which is the week containing Hobbit Day (Sep 22, the birthday shared by Bilbo and Frodo). To kick it off I'll discuss the Balrogs in the Blue Book. The Blue Book contains two references to Balrogs, each on page 14. These refer to the original OD&D text rather than being additions by Holmes. The first mentions that they are highly resistant to magic, and is a reference to the original entry for Balrogs in Monsters & Treasure (pg 14). The second reference describes Balrogs as being able to shatter Hold Portal spells. This is from the original description of the Hold Portal spell in Men & Magic (pg 23), and was probably inspired by the Balrog who broke Gandalf's spell on the door when the Fellowship was in Moria. While the OD&D books were eventually revised to remove these references to Balrogs, they were never removed from the Blue Book. Paleologos continues his excellent art archaeology over at DF, this time turning up a Jean Wells illustration from Polyhedron #4 that shows Duchess and Candella from B3. See here. And Frank Mentzer popped in to confirm this. Tangentially, I'll add that B3 (and B4) has some notes on the using the module with the Holmes Basic Set. In a previous post on Rules Expansions, I mentioned a late 1980 Gateway to Adventure catalog that shows the Holmes Basic Set side-by-side with an unpictured but soon-to-be-released Expert Set. A screenshot of this is above, taken from a scan of a page posted by TheMilford at the Tome of Treasures in 2009. As you can see, it's actually just the booklets that are advertised rather the whole sets. (If anyone has this catalog, please let me know if there is another entry for the sets). While the listing shows the cover of the Blue Book, it is given the product code 2014, which was used for the Moldvay Basic Set rulebook. Most likely the new rulebooks were in production but not ready for photography at the time this catalog was prepared. The same page also shows the first print of B2 (written for Holmes) rather than the revised B/X version, and also has an unpictured listing for the module B3 (the first module for Moldvay), "the newest of the instructional settings for the D&D Basic Set". Still, if you saw this catalog in 1980 you would probably have assumed that the forthcoming Expert Set was going to be a companion to the existing Holmes Basic Set, rather than the significant revision with new cover artwork that eventually appeared in 1981. Earlier in the year (Dragon #35, March 1980), Gygax had revealed that "Design is now hard at work on the second boxed D&D game, the Expert Set. It will take players through at least 12th level of experience, tie in the best of the “Original” material, and actually add some new classes, spells, magic, monsters and so on." In context, this appeared to be an Expert Set that would complement the Holmes Basic Set. The above catalog entry is the closest TSR got to advertising this mythical Holmes Expert Set. Does anyone remember seeing this catalog at the time? Later copies of the Gateway to Adventure Catalog with the same cover, including the one I have from a Moldvay Set I found at a Goodwill in the mid-80s, replace the above entries with the B/X Sets. The copy from the Tome of Treasures site was found with a first print Cook/Marsh Expert Set. Traveller at the Acaeum reports a minor revision to the Gray Book, to fix "a problem with haste and slow spells not explaining how they affect the targets". I've updated the link on the Rules Expansions page on my website. Variable Weapon Damage for Holmes - What If? This table is derived from a similar table on page 15 of Greyhawk, which was the only published "complex system for advanced play" allowing for variable weapon damage available at the time Holmes edited the Blue Book. The Holmes equipment list is nearly identical to that from OD&D, so all of the Holmes weapons are found in the Greyhawk table, and are reproduced here. I included weapons referenced in the Holmes rules but not found in the equipment list: sling stone, javelin, club, war hammer and quarter staff. Of these, the war hammer and sling stone are found in the Greyhawk table. For javelin, club and quarter staff I used values from AD&D. The exception is javelin, which I changed to 1-4 (in line with Moldvay) to balance its far greater range versus the spear. The notation on two-handed weapons comes from Holmes, page 20, which refers to the "heavy two-handed sword, battle axe, halberd, flail, morning star, and most pole arm". All of these are also indicated in the Greyhawk table as needing 4' or more of space on each side of the wielder. I've also added the costs for each weapon for comparison purposes. One complaint regarding variable weapon damage is that the magic-user suffers, being reduced to doing only 1-4 points of damage. This can be offset by allowing the magic-user to use the quarter staff. The Rules Expansions section of the site is newly revised following discussion on OD&D74. 1. Extrapolate from the Holmes Basic rulebook. Internally consistent rules for 4th level characters, at the very least, can easily be generated by extending the tables in Holmes (although they will not necessarily match other versions of the game). Higher levels begin to require more work as magic-users would have the undescribed 3rd level spells, though some of these can be matched to magic items with similar effects. Hints for higher levels are sprinkled throughout the rulebook and the module B2. 2. Use OD&D. Dr. Holmes edited the Basic rulebook from the original D&D books and supplements, and thus the rules are in many ways closest to OD&D + some of Greyhawk. At the time of release of the Holmes Basic set in the fall of 1977, no AD&D rulebooks were available. Furthermore, the Holmes Basic set was originally packaged with the Monster & Treasure Assortment Levels 1-3, a product designed for OD&D. The M&TA assortment was eventually replaced by the module B1, which contained some further references to rules from Greyhawk. Thus, the OD&D rules are perhaps the most natural to use if expanding Holmes Basic. 3. Use AD&D. The Holmes Basic rules direct the player to AD&D for expanded play, including higher levels, in nine different locations. In Dragon #35 (March 1980), Gygax told us that the references to AD&D were added to Dr. Holmes' original draft by TSR. It's unclear whether or not they simply added the word "Advanced" where Holmes had written "Dungeons & Dragons". The rules themselves are closer to OD&D than AD&D. A few new M-U and Cleric Spells that later appeared in the Player's Handbook in 1978 were added to Holmes Basic. 4. Use the 1981 Expert Set rulebook (edited by Cook/Marsh). In Dragon #35, Gygax also revealed that "Design is now hard at work on the second boxed D&D game, the Expert Set. It will take players through at least 12th level of experience, tie in the best of the “Original” material, and actually add some new classes, spells, magic, monsters and so on." In context, this appeared to be an Expert Set that would complement the Holmes Basic Set. A late 1980 Gateway to Adventure catalog shows the Holmes Basic set side-by-side with an unpictured but soon-to-be-released Expert Set. However, when the Expert Set finally arrived in 1981 it was accompanied by an entirely new Basic Set that replaced the Holmes Basic set (although TSR continued to have the original in stock through the Mail Order Hobby Shop until at least 1986). To aid owners of the original Basic set who did not wish to buy a new set, the Cook/Marsh rulebook contained a section on page X4 titled "Using D&D Expert with an early edition of D&D Basic" which began "If your copy of the D&D Basic rules has a blue cover with a picture of a dragon on it, then this section is for you". This section then provides a summary of the "new material found in the 2nd edition of D&D Basic". Thanks for Falconer on OD&D74 for inspiring the above list. Swords & Wizardry is an OD&D retroclone. The Core Rules 4th printing (May 2011) includes an optional "Blue Book" order of events for combat. On the page "References in the rulebook that are not described" (which can be a tool for clarifying/expanding/integrating Holmes), revised Part B "REFERENCES TO WEAPONS NOT FOUND ON THE EQUIPMENT LIST" to include references to war hammers, clubs and cutlasses. The war hammer is missing from the Holmes equipment lists, despite the 1st print of Holmes mentioning a War Hammer +1 (pg 35, Armor and Weapons list), +2 (pg 35, explanation of Magical Weapons) and +3 (pg 6, Dwarves). This does not originate in Holmes, since the Men & Magic equipment list is also missing a war hammer while Monsters & Treasure has a War Hammer +1, +2 and +3 in the Miscellaneous Weapons magic item list (pg 24). Greyhawk includes only a "Dwarven Hammer" in the variable weapon damage table that does 1-6 damage (pg 15). Acaeum member dwarf has shown me evidence of a fifth printing of the UK rulebook with prices missing from the product list on the back cover. The text of this printing otherwise appears to correspond to the US "2nd Edition, Nov 1978". I'm calling this the fifth printing because TSR rulebooks without prices are generally later than the ones with prices. I'm going to start posting updates to the Zenopus Archives site here on the blog. Since ZA is a Google Site, it's easy to have a blog associated with it. If you follow this blog you can see when I've made an update without going to the site. 8/13 - Link to "Beneath The Ruined Tower of Zenopus" pod-play drama!

To reap its full rewards, a certification program must employ the assessment tools best suited to meet the needs of the certification program and the targeted occupation. Assessment tools must adhere to a rigorous development process to ensure their validity, reliability and fairness. As well, they should be administered using proper administrative policies and procedures. Consideration of the advantages and suitability of the various assessment methods is required for certification programs to be constructed to deliver the promised organizational benefits. Professional certification is a voluntary process that recognizes individuals who meet predetermined standards, as assessed by a third party. More specifically, professional certification programs provide an independent, impartial assessment of an individual’s occupational competence, where candidates are evaluated against predetermined standards for knowledge, skills and abilities. Candidates who demonstrate that they meet established standards are granted a time-limited credential and are awarded an acronym to signify that they have obtained the credential. To retain the credential, candidates must maintain and demonstrate continued competence in their occupation, abide by a code of conduct and adhere to occupational standards.

REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR Communications and Real-World Results! The art of influencing others requires you to step into another person's Frame of Reference. It sounds easy enough, sure, but how often during a conversation (especially when emotions may be running ‘high’) do you actually find yourself actively listening to the other person’s words and invested in really understanding their viewpoint? Right! Almost always, if we’re aware at all, we’re already formulating our own interpretations and preparing to provide our perspective. Of course, of two (or more) people are both primarily ‘self-invested’ during conversations, it’s hardly surprising no real exchange of ideas takes place. Tu Casa, Mi Casa explores communication challenges and solutions. The program equips participants with the influencing and communication skills and tools they need to be more effective in creating better outcomes and better relationships with customers, employees and peers. Tu Casa, Mi Casa allows participants to gain the skills necessary to “get on the same page” with others, more quickly and with less friction, even with those whose viewpoints differ significantly from their own. Participants learn how to influence others while leaving others feeling understood and valued.

THE rancid stench of spilled crude oil was the ugly reminder of a creek that once bubbled with fishing activities. All around the banks were signs of oil industry- induced pollution as the grasses and other vegetation bear the signs clearly, including fishing nets and timber. The impacted creek told a saga of heavy volume of crude oil spewed into the environment. Besides the crude oil stained grasses, other vegetation and materials at the banks, the surface of the body of the water (on the creek) displayed the colours associated with crude oil. Although the recovery of the spilled crude into the environment is on-going, the odour could still be smelled as the temperature rises during the day due to the swamp and the nature of the terrain. This has been the sad tale of Aghoro Kingdom, a sprawling coastal settlement on the Atlantic fringe in Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State whose natives are predominantly fishermen and farmers. Sunday Vanguard gathered that this year alone, the natives have had to contend with two separate oil spills. Since the rustic settlement was rocked by a devastating oil spill from the 24-inch Trans-Ramos pipeline owned by oil giant, Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), on May 17, 2018, the people and the community have become like the proverbial orphan. Their socio-economic condition has worsened and drinking polluted water has become a second nature. Fishing, the main source of livelihood of the natives, Sunday Vanguard investigation revealed, has not only been crippled but the once alluring Otobo-Iba creek is also polluted with the result that they now rely on sachet water brought from Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, and the neigbouring Warri in Delta State. Disturbed by impact of the May 17 spill, the 24-member Bayelsa State House of Assembly had speedily passed a resolution, urging the SPDC to send relief materials to affected communities and also commence immediate payment of compensation to victims. The lawmakers also called on the oil giant to put in motion the machinery that will stop further spread of spilled crude oil to other areas. However, it was learned that before the spill could be contained, it had impacted some communities in Delta State, polluting the environment and rivers and killing fishes and other aquatic lives. The cause of the spill is yet to be officially ascertained as relevant bodies were yet to conclude the Joint Investigation Visit (JIV) on the impacted sites. “This oil spill happened on May 17. The river is one of our major sources of drinking water. But since this spillage occurred, we have not been able to use the river, and the spill has affected most of our activities. “It has been a trying moment for us. Some of our people have been experiencing health challenges including eye, nose, stomach upset and throat irritation. We can no longer go fishing because of the polluted creek. As I speak, I have huge debt to pay as I borrowed money to buy the fishing net I had planned to use this season. Crude oil, which should have been a blessing to us as in civilised climes, has turned out to be a pain. How do I cater for my family now? I have bills to settle and other needs to meet but I am handicapped. ” Appeal to SPDC On his part, Zide Sunday, another native, said that though Shell had sent relief materials to the area, “we don’t have water to drink and bathe. Our water has been polluted. Recovery work is on-going but we are calling on Shell to send water and also their medical team to the area. ” A mother of three, Madam Ebiere, said: “We are mostly into fishing and it is the proceeds from our catch that we use to send our children to school. If you are familiar with the Delta terrain, you will know that we don’t do much farming here because of our mangrove surrounding. “Sadly, fishing, which we depend on for a living, has been grounded. Oil and Gas Producing Areas Enlightenment and Empowerment Initiative (OGPAEEI) said about 10,000 fishing nets, sources of water and farmland with crops were adversely impacted and damaged. Spokesman for the group, Dr. Anapunere Awoli, representing the President of the group, Mr. Jackson Igbabiri, said, “From the assessment we conducted on the incident, we found out that about 10,000 fishing nets, over 50 fishing settlements, farmlands, including coconut farms, plantain and water yam farms were impacted by the spill. The group commended state government officials for their visit to the affected communities, describing the gesture as encouraging and an indication of the state government sensitive to the plight of victims. The leader of Famous-Ama, one of the affected communities in Aghoro, Enimikem Famous, described the incident as “unfortunate” and urged the Federal Government, Shell and well-meaning Nigerians to come to their aid by providing potable water and medical items for victims. Describing the adverse effects on human health worrisome, he said, “We have suffered too much of constant oil spills; our people have suffered from unexpected illnesses such as cholera, severe cough and infertility caused by the type of water we consume.” Impediment to movement A source, who spoke anonymously, told Sunday Vanguard that exhumed pipelines were hampering activities in the area as residents could no longer transport goods and services. “The Joint investigation Visit (JIV) by the SPDC on the spillage has commenced, but some exhumed pipelines have blocked the surface of our water which is the only route to our market and farmlands. Things are very difficult now because we have no access to the farms. We urged Shell to expedite action on recovery and cleaning of the spill so as give unfettered access on our water,” the source said. Integrity test A Bayelsa State government delegation, led by the deputy governor, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John-Jonah (ret.), which visited the area, was disturbed by the havoc wreaked on the environment and called on Shell to conduct integrity test on its pipelines in the Niger Delta to avert a recurrence. John-Jonah decried what he described as the frequency of oil spillages from the company operations, as well as the fact that a good number of its pipes were laid a long time ago and may have suffered corrosion. He berated SPDC for the delay in carrying out remediation activities and provision of relief materials. While noting the usual Joint Investigation that would be carried out to ascertain the cause of the spillage, the deputy governor advised SPDC to ensure that all the relevant parties are involved in the exercise, stressing that it should be done in accordance with international standards. The deputy governor also commended the people of Aghoro for their patience and peaceful disposition, assuring that, the state government will do the needful. “You can see the pollution even after the very long time, the amount of the sludge, the thickness of oil spill that were found there. When you are exploiting the resources and you don’t think of what happened to human beings, the impact on lives cannot be assessed and may be after some years. “We are breathing fumes of crude oil. It is a very devastating incident; I want Shell to redouble its efforts. We will submit our report to government so that we can have coordinated efforts to ensure that this type of thing is avoided in our environment,” he said. Also, the member representing Sagbama-Ekeremor federal constituency in the House of Representatives, an indigene of Aghoro, stated that the community had suffered from two oil spillages in recent times, with the first one occurring in April, this year at Odimodi Area in Delta State, which extended to Aghoro and the second on May 17, 2018, at Aghoro axis, all from the SPDC River Ramos pipeline. According to him, the two spillages have devastating effects on Aghoro and other surrounding communities, resulting to massive destruction of the aquatic life, which is their major source of livelihood. He, therefore, called on the Federal Government and SPDC to take quick actions to alleviate the plight of the people. “We expect Shell and the Federal Government and its partners to quicken action. I expect that medical team should have been on ground long before now dealing with health issues because lives are involved, environment is involved and people need to have their source of livelihood restored”, the lawmaker said. But a member of staff of the company at one of the sites, Engr. Charles Ebulu, assured that SPDC was doing all that was necessary to contain further spread of the spilled crude and pleaded for understanding from all stakeholders. Speaking on the incident, the Amananaowei of Aghoro, His Royal Highness, Ibamua Ojukonsin, lamented that it took SPDC two weeks to respond after the incident was reported, adding that the community was yet to receive medical supplies from the company. He decried the situation whereby SPDC was eager to effect repairs on the pipeline in order to resume production while nothing had been done for the impacted communities. Team to impacted area underway But SPDC says a Joint Investigation Visit (JIV) to Aghoro community was underway to investigate the cause of the oil leak in the area, adding that relief materials had been sent there. Mr. Bamidele Odugbesan, Media Relations Manager, SPDC, in a telephone interview, said the oil firm had convened a Joint Investigation Team to visit the area. He, however, regretted that rains and swampy nature of the area were hampering the spill response operations. On the claim of delayed response to the spill, which was first reported in May, Odugbesan said that the allegation was baseless, adding that Shell was doing everything possible to address the situation. “We have been working round-the-clock since the leak occurred and, as we speak, the JIV is underway but it is not yet concluded because of the swampy nature of the terrain, coupled with problem of rains and high tide”, he said “The JIV is not a one-man show. The JIV team, comprising SPDC officials, regulators, community representatives and Bayelsa State Ministry of Environment officials, must visit the leak spots before arriving at a conclusion.” But, according to Agbedi, who represents the area in the House of Reps, “I have been speaking with Shell officers, including the GMD, and I am shocked to hear that, even as at today, we are still expecting medical attention. It’s not fair, it is not good enough. You don’t treat a peaceful people that way. You don’t treat your host community that way”.

January 15, 2015 Budget, Charter schools, Common Core, Construction, In the classroom, Palm Beach County schools, Students, Technology, Testing. A is for Assessments: The school board is among many that would like to see relief from testing. They’d like more time to transition to the state’s new tests – time in which schools and districts would not be penalized for poor performance. There’s also concern about the number of tests, the technology demands the state has tied to testing and the use of the test results. B is for Buses: Rep. Irv Slosberg, D-Delray and the guy who often leads the charge in Tallahassee when it comes to highway safety, had some questions about buses. Are they safe? What challenges do we have? COO Mike Burke says they’re safe, we know this because they must be inspected monthly. But, Burke said, “We get (from the state) about a dollar each way to get students to and from school.” The fleet average age is 10 years old when it should be closer to six and breakdowns have “been a source of inconvenience.” Driver turnover is also an issue, he said. The calendar: State law says school can’t start earlier than two weeks before Labor Day. Palm Beach County wants that to be something each district decides on its own, based on its constituency. Board member Karen Brill argued that here, many residents value having off for the Jewish holidays. And for years, students have benefitted from a semester that ends before the winter holiday break. Brill and other board members say those values collide when the district is forced into a start date that right now would be Aug. 24. Charter schools: Can their regulation be tightened? Can a district require schools to post performance bonds? Chairman Chuck Shaw offered this math: Of 22 charter applications the board saw this year, the board turned down six, 16 withdrew. Some 14 charters are deferring their openings. Five school closed and $420,000 “disappeared into thin air” ; 609 students lost a seat in one of those schools and had to transfer somewhere else. Rep. Dave Kerner, D-Palm Springs also asked about security on charter campuses. The school district has a police force, but the officers don’t operate on charter campuses. Emergencies are handled by the local policing agency, Shaw said. But Shaw too said he had concerns about campus safety at charters.

Just about everyone in the United States loves M&Ms. They are simply one of the most classic candies that exist — it’s hard to imagine any other candy that has quite the same stature. When people think of chocolate, they think of M&Ms, even if they have another favorite candy bar that they like better. And why not? M&Ms have been around since 1941! Want to know some other fun M&M facts? M&Ms are sold in about 100 countries all around the world, not just in the United States. M&Ms were inspired by a technique to help soldiers carry chocolate without melting it. Blue M&Ms replaced tan ones in 1995 after Mars, Inc. held a vote among the public. In commercials, green and brown M&Ms are female, while the other colors are male. Even though most folks like M&Ms, peanut M&Ms sometimes get a bum rap. It’s not unknown for some people to totally avoid peanut M&Ms — but for Shemar, no other kind of M&M will do. If you were to visit the home of Shemar Moore, it’s likely that you would find at least one bowl of peanut M&Ms in the living room or the dining area. Having some M&Ms around helps to connect with the energy and exuberance of childhood — M&Ms have always been a favorite. Even though you shouldn’t eat too much candy, Shemar admits to enjoying a snack of a handful of peanut M&Ms every now and then throughout the day. The peanut in the M&Ms adds some additional protein, which helps raise energy levels before and after a stint on set. Shemar is also something of an M&M aficionado, who always makes sure that he tries out the limited edition and “holiday only” flavors as they come and go. Some of these are very rare! Do you have a favorite candy of your very own? Whatever it is, there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy it every now and then. No matter whether you like M&Ms, Hersey’s Kisses, Butterfingers, or York Peppermint Patties, a little candy now and then is a great way to have fun and relax. Shemar approves!

Should I use an Ozone Generators or Air Purifiers that emit small amounts of ozone to kill mold in my home, office or vehicle? Before or after reading this article you are going to find other websites and literature from the medical and enviromental communities that will recommend usage of Ozone Generators to kill mold in environments. The problem with this is that they are not fully educated on the science of ozone and it's effects on other chemicals and agents it comes in contact with. did NOT recommend using an ozone generator but other indoor and environmental professionals say it's ok. The difference between these other so-called "professionals" is that they ARE NOT scientists and are only quoting information and literature from other "so-called" professionals. So why is it really bad? Ozone generators produce photocatalytic oxidation that is effective in destroying airborne mold. However, expert toxicologist: Dr. Thrasher strongly cautioned mold victims against using these ozone generators. He said that if you oxidize an organic chemical of any kind it will create free radicals. Period. End of Story. According to Standford University "Free radicals can cause damage to parts of cells such as proteins, DNA, and cell membranes by stealing their electrons through a process called oxidation. (This is why free radical damage is also called “oxidative damage.”) When free radicals oxidize important components of the cell, those components lose their ability to function normally, and the accumulation of such damage may cause the cell to die. Numerous studies indicate that increased production of free radicals causes or accelerates nerve cell injury and leads to disease. Dr. Thrasher also warned us that ozone can be highly irritating to your mucous membranes and lungs. Ozone Generators do facilitate the removal of volatile organics and THIS is what attracts "so-called" building professionals to argue with customer and clients and pursuade them to use Ozone in their space..... but people need to be aware and recognize that these machines SHOULD NOT BE USED - ANYWHERE where you, your family, your pets or plants are living. Need more evidence that Ozone Emits Free Radicals? Are "Air Purifiers" or "Air Fresheners" that emit ozone safe for daily use? The answer is NO. Now knowing that ozone can cause cell death and nerve cell injury, you might see it as strange that someone might want to breathe more of it—or want you to. But, despite Federal Trade Commission and state actions against their claims, there remain people who want to take some money from you in exchange for an “air cleaner”, "air purifier" or “air freshener” that claims to work by generating ozone. For the sake of your health and your family's health please take the time to read the EPA's publication here http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html on why this is a potentially harmful idea. says: "Use ozone to resolve mold problems? NO!" Long term serious health consequences may result. It will likely be years before the damage becomes apparent, but the health damage from ozone can be life-threatening. There is no known way to determine how long ozone stays in the air, once fogged, since ozone cannot been seen or smelled. The results from ozone fogging could linger in the air for a month or more. Everyone living in the space or visiting for an unknown amount of time will be affected. Ozone is only recommended for uninhabitable spaces (like a storage shed). Ozone Generators and Interior Mold Remediation: A Recipe for Disaster? California has banned any air purifiers that produce Ozone because Ozone is a lung irritant. From Consumer Reports: Dedicated ozone generators, a subcategory of room models, produce large amounts of ozone by design. According to manufacturers, that is to reduce allergens such as dust, smoke, pollen, germs, and mold. Ozone, however, is a serious health concern, prompting the State of California to ban the sale of ozone generators (and other air purifiers that emit more than 50 parts per billion of ozone) from the general market.

Having the perfect kitchen is definitely on the list of every homeowner. Either if you are renovating your current kitchen, or you are furnishing your brand new home, you should choose the correct kitchen flooring option. The perfect kitchen flooring is different for every household, and the flooring material that you are going to choose is mainly defined by your lifestyle and taste. Luckily, there is an abundance of flooring types that will suit your kitchen. It still is important to know the different specifications of flooring types, the costs, pros and cons. We’ve covered it all, so you can easily choose the perfect flooring type for your kitchen. What is The Best Floor Material For a Kitchen? Depending on how you use your kitchen, you will have to choose between ceramic tiles, laminate, hardwood, vinyl flooring, carpet, concrete, and last, but not least – cork. Every flooring type has its pros and cons. The factors that will play in choosing flooring material depends from the amount of traffic your kitchen has, to how often you will cook, and most importantly – your budget. In this article, we’ve collected the most common kitchen flooring types, and we’ve calculated prices for the Australian average-sized kitchens. This means all calculations were made for 14 square meters sized rooms. If you love cooking, then you’ll be spending a considerable amount of time in your kitchen. You’d want durable flooring, that won’t look worn out in a couple of years. Most flooring types have options that are made tougher than the original type by using science to reinforce their strength. The downside is that they cost a bit more. Suitable materials for high-travel kitchen areas are vinyl, ceramic tiles and concrete. All of those can last you decades with proper care. Choosing the correct kitchen flooring material is important. The proper choice can last you a lifetime, or increase the value of your property, both very desirable things by homeowners. So, what are the flooring options on the market? Turns out, quite a bit, so let’s take a look at them. Ceramic tiles are a pretty common choice for kitchen flooring. They are fairly cheap, easy to maintain, and you have endless colour combinations, sizes and styles. On top of that, ceramic tiles are extremely durable. The cost – Installing ceramic tiled floors in Australia has a starting cost at around $1250. If you are going to DIY the installation, material enough to equip the floor of a 13 square meter room will cost you around $630. Glazed ceramic tiles are perfect for kitchens because they are stain and moisture resistant. They are easy to maintain, as they require minimal cleaning efforts to look good. Ceramic tiles are very affordable. They come in endless colours and variations. You can mix and match different designs for unique looks. Unfortunately, ceramic is hard and cold on the feet. If you are looking forward to cooking a lot in your kitchen, you may have to invest in a comfy pair of slippers. Ceramic chips and cracks. You will have to be careful not to drop heavy object on it, as fixing cracks and chips is difficult. When wet, ceramic can be slippery. This means you will have to be extra careful not to spill liquids. However, with a quick mop of the liquid, they are as good as new. Installing a carpet in your kitchen may not be the cleverest idea ever. Still, carpet flooring can work in kitchens where cooking won’t be a common occurrence. The cost – Installing a carpet is quite affordable. The price for a carpet and installation begins at $1100 for a 13 square meter room. Buying the carpet alone will set you back around $950. As every flooring type, carpets have their gains and drawbacks. Carpets come in numerous colours and styles, so you will easily find one that suits your kitchen. You can have area rugs or wall to wall. Which is great, because you can equip the areas that are prone to getting wet with tiles. Carpets tend to collect lots of dirt and moisture. Because of this, they are the perfect breeding place for germs, bacteria and some pests. People with dust allergies shouldn’t opt out for carpet flooring. Carpets collect quite a lot of dust, and they can trigger allergic reactions. Carpets are very hard to clean. They require constant maintenance, which isn’t cheap. In order to properly clean carpets, you will have to hire professionals that have the machinery and experience. Laminate can bring the luxurious look of hardwood in your home for half the price. This makes this flooring material very desirable by homeowners. Of course, with the more affordable price, it has some drawbacks. Although beautiful, laminate may not be the perfect choice for high-travel kitchens. This type of flooring would suit low-travel, open space kitchens. So, if you spend 1-2 hours in the kitchen at most, laminate may be the perfect choice for you. The cost – Installing laminate in your kitchen can be pretty inexpensive. The starting price for laminate with installation is $1350. If you can handle the installation yourself, then you can buy the materials for around $750. Keep in mind that these prices are for the cheapest laminate out there. You can easily find high-end laminate that will cost as much as hardwood floors, or even more. Laminate requires fairly low maintenance. There are numerous colours and designs that you can choose from. Laminate can easily be installed over the old flooring in your kitchen. If the laminate flooring is damaged it can’t be refurbished. This is a problem, as laminate easily gets scratched (especially glazed laminate). It’s not a lifetime flooring. Most laminates have a lifetime warranty for five to ten years. If a lot of water gets on the laminate, it would bump from underneath. Hardwood flooring is the perfect choice if you are looking to introduce luxury in your home. They also increase the value of the property and retain it for longer periods of time. Hardwood is also quite a bit more expensive than other floor materials. It’s price widely vary depending on the type of wood you want your floor to be made of. The cost – The starting price for a 13 square meter room is around $2350 in Australia. Acquiring the materials alone will cost you $1700. Depending on the type of wood it can be much more expensive. They are an amazing investment and will increase and retain the value of your property. Hardwood floors are comfortable and soft underfoot. This makes them perfect for kitchens where cooking will be a frequent task. You can mix and match different wood types, which will result in unique floor designs. The range of shade in hardwood floors is tremendous. You can find hardwood in light beige to almost black. Hardwood floors are susceptible to water damage. Refinishing with wax and oil regularly is mandatory. You will have to reseal hardwood floors every five to six years. Concrete floors are extremely durable and with the proper care, it will last a lifetime. You can easily mix and match different colours. Modern concrete mixtures allow for smooth, beautiful designs. Long gone are the days of ugly, dusty and chipping concrete. If you find to dislike the look in the future, you can easily place any type of flooring material on top of it. The cost – While concrete isn’t the cheapest flooring to install, it certainly isn’t the most expensive one. The starting price for an average sized room is around $1900 in Australia, including installation. Extremely durable flooring material. With the proper maintenance, concrete floors can last indefinitely. Modern concrete can be mixed and made in different colours, so grey isn’t your only option. If concrete is sealed, then it’s resistant to spills and staining. This makes it a great option for kitchens. Concrete floors are hard. If you drop a glass, plate, or other fragile objects by accident, it will most likely break. They aren’t comfortable and soft underfoot. You have to wax and seal your concrete floor every tree for nine months. Opting out for vinyl flooring is a great idea. Vinyl is durable, 100% moisture resistant and reinforced with fibreglass. Vinyl flooring brings that natural wood looks in your home without the cost of laminate or hardwood flooring. Because of its water resistance, vinyl flooring is the perfect choice for kitchens where cooking will be the primary objective. The cost – Vinyl flooring is pretty inexpensive. For the nation-average kitchen size in Australia, buying and installing a vinyl floor will set you back around $1145. The vinyl flooring itself would cost you $773. Very comfortable on the feet, which is important if you are going to spend hours cooking every day. It’s fairly inexpensive to buy and install. It can be easily installed on top of your old flooring. Vinyl floors are really easy to clean and maintain. It may look like wood, but vinyl floors lack the feel of it. If they are glued to the ground, it’s extremely hard to remove them. Glossy finishes are quite slippery when wet. Vinyl floors can be scratched or gouged quite easily. You’d want to be careful not to drop any sharp objects on it. Being the in-vogue material, cork is a great option for kitchen floors. It’s also a “green material’’. The cork floors are compressed and formed into sheets bonded with resin. This makes cork floors glossy, featuring some pretty intricate design. Because of its cushiony surface, cork is a great option for the kitchen, as you will spend prolonged periods of time standing on it. The cost – Because it’s very trendy at the moment, it’s not the cheapest option. Cork is still considered wooden flooring, and as you expect it will be a bit more expensive. Cork flooring is fairly inexpensive if you compare it to other wooden flooring. For a 13 square meter room, material and installation will cost you around $2100 in Australia. The flooring material alone will cost around $1534. Cork is warm and soft. This makes it a very comfortable flooring. You can choose from a large array of colours and designs. There is a type of cork flooring that will suit any kitchen. It can be easily refinished by sanding and re-applying the finish once again will make the flooring look like brand new. Cork flooring is very easy to maintain. If you apply high-quality sealer, the only care you will have to take is the occasional sweeping and vacuuming. This floor type is susceptible to damage. A sharp object can easily pierce through the sealant and damage the flooring. A heavy object dropped on it can harm the cork flooring. If heavily exposed to daylight, cork can end up with discoloured patches. You can fix this problem by having curtains that block sunlight. Deciding on the correct floor type for your kitchen is never an easy task. You have to put in though and figure out which will be the perfect choice for your property. Let us deal with floor installation!

Thanks again to Angela for having me on her blog! external signs do people show when they’re in extreme pain? I love this question, because it speaks to one of the “fundamental rules” of storytelling. There’s also a medical terminology distinction to be made. Subjective things, like the actual pain itself, are symptoms. verifiable or observable by someone else is considered a sign. very useful for showing agony in someone who isn’t your protagonist. characters who aren’t the current subject of the close point of view. I’ll try to keep this to the same pain scale that I used in that article. Severe: Sweating, pale and cool skin, facial contortions, clutching the affected area, rapid breathing. plus lying on the ground, screaming, curling into the fetal position. demons when my gallstones have become obliteratingly painful. necessarily commit to any one particular level on the pain scale. This list is far from exhaustive. But it’s a good start to illustrating someone’s discomfort! I hope this answered your question, @a-nom-de-plume, and I’ll gladly see you later!

PANNA MARIA – Tina Maglio-Johnson was nervous as she headed out to a drilling site for the first time. She was in her late 20s and had just been hired as a production engineer when she found herself driving through rural Colorado without a map. Maglio-Johnson got lost but was turned back around by a kind landowner. But her worries were not over when she got to the site. “I didn’t know how well I’d be received because I was just out of school, and I didn’t have a lot of field experience,” she said. To her surprise, the men welcomed her and her fresh view of things. “They said something to me like, ‘Sometimes, people who don’t know a lot about things can notice things that we don’t because we’ve been here so long,'” she said. That was almost 20 years ago. Since then, Maglio-Johnson has come to love the problem-solving challenges she faces in the oil and gas industry. Maglio-Johnson has worked for the company she’s currently with, Encana, for 15 years. As a group leader in completion services, she is based in Denver and travels to Karnes County every other week, where she visits drilling and fracking sites and checks in with the production team. When Maglio-Johnson began in the industry almost two decades ago, few women worked alongside her. But she’s witnessed the growth of the industry, bringing with it an increase in women. The total number of employees in the oil and gas industry from 1995 to 2014. There was no data from 2000 to 2001. The approximate number of women who worked in the oil and gas industry from 1995 to 2014. There was no data from 2000 to 2001. Energy companies continue working toward closing the gender gap. They’ve created women’s networks that not only offer support for the women who work for the company but also help recruit more women to the field. A 2014 report funded by the American Petroleum Institute showed women accounted for 19 percent of total employment in the combined oil and gas and petrochemical industries. Attracting women to the workforce is important for several reasons, those in the industry say. Diversity in the workplace has proven to drive innovation, said Tyson Taylor, the director of Organizational Development and Recruiting at Pioneer Natural Resources Company in Dallas. The percentage of women employed in the oil and gas industry from 1995 to 2014. There was no data from 2000 to 2001. A 2014 study by NES Global Talent, a hiring agency for the oil and gas industry, emphasized the industry’s soon-to-be shortage of engineers. Half of the experienced engineering sector within the oil and gas industry is set to retire in the next decade, according to the report. And women offer an under-tapped talent pool. Like Maglio-Johnson, many women have found their presence welcomed in the industry, according to the NES Global Talent study. But almost half the women in the study said they do not get the same recognition as men. And, while 95 percent of women in the study said they viewed mentors as important for career advancement, 42 percent said they were neither a mentor nor a mentee. Women’s networks, which are becoming more popular in the oil field, offer mentorship and networking opportunities. Women at Encana may choose from another 10 to 20 networks, a handful of which are related directly to the energy industry, Maglio-Johnson said. Pioneer also has a women’s network, which includes a mentorship program, Taylor said. Within the network, women are given the skills that will help them network with other women and men such as playing golf. Pioneer has also increased its child-care benefits. When the company built a new office in Midland six months ago, it added an on-site day care. But the industry as a whole has fallen short on recruiting women into blue-collar jobs. And the low numbers of women in the semi-skilled and unskilled blue-collar jobs are projected to decline further in the future, according to the American Petroleum Institute funded report. Click on this photo for more information about women’s role in the 2014 U.S. workforce. Taylor said Pioneer has attempted to bridge this gap by offering training for people with inexperience in the oil field. But the company does not get many applications for the blue-collar jobs. Yet, the industry’s constant need for new ideas benefits at all levels from women’s employment.

Serverless on AWS represents a new way to architect highly performant, highly resilient, and very low-maintenance cloud-native systems. In this occasional series, we’re going to review some interesting design patterns for Serverless systems on AWS. Hopefully this will give you an idea of what you can build and you can apply these concepts to your own use case. Some of the most interesting Serverless architectures combine several of these patterns into a single system. If you’d like a more high-level introduction to Serverless, check out this post. There are many ways to pipeline data from a producer to a final source. S3 and Lambda represent a very simple and low-cost approach that can also be extended to be very powerful. It is NOT appropriate if you need truly real-time visibility, but that’s a relative term. If you can accept delays of perhaps 15-60 seconds, this is a good solution, and it is far simpler than a truly real-time approach that uses Kinesis. In its most basic form, your data producer (i.e. a web app or client system) pushes data periodically to S3 in some flat file format. This S3 event triggers a Lambda function which processes the data and pushes it into the final destination, such as Redshift, another SQL database, or perhaps back into S3 in some archived form. The Redshift COPY command, invoked in the Lambda function, is a straightforward and efficient way to load the data into Redshift. AWS outlined this in more detail in this great blog post. To make this approach more robust, we always make sure to move the files from some /incoming folder in S3 to a /processed folder after a successful load. This makes it easy to identify and reprocess failures, and you can add an S3 Lifecycle rule to the /processed folder to archive or delete the raw data after some period. The data producer has to be responsible for buffering and batching the data so it can send intermittent files to S3. This is more effort on the application side, not a “fire and forget” scenario that may be more preferable from the producer’s (i.e. the app’s) perspective. If there are many data producers and they do not send data in a predictable and consistent manner, a flood of data could overload the database, since Lambda will fire with almost infinite concurrency. We can evolve this basic pattern to solve both of these problems. To solve #1, we simply put Kinesis Firehose in the middle. Kinesis Firehose is a fully managed streaming data queue that handles buffering and batching your data and pushing it into S3. You can push data in via the API, or you can use the Linux agent to continuously monitor a set of files and let the agent handle sending new data to Kinesis. Lambda function begins loading files up to X files, where X is determined for your data source to not overload the system. For typical data sources this load should be iterative, but for Redshift you can load them in parallel with a single COPY command to maximize performance. A Cloudwatch alarm can warn you if this metric grows too high or does not drop, indicating you may need to increase X and your data source’s write capacity. If load time is a concern (Lambda has a max timeout of 5 minutes), you could use an initial Lambda function to list the files and then the Lambda Fanout pattern to have individual Lambda functions perform each load in parallel, again tuning for your particular data loading characteristics so you don’t overload your destination. Stepping back, the bottom line to keep in mind here is that S3 → Lambda → Data source is a simple and powerful method for managing a near-real-time data pipeline. There are several flavors to this approach to fit your use case. But at the end of the day, you have almost unlimited scalability, no computing or storage infrastructure to manage, no complex ETL tools, and very low total cost. So give it a try, or hit us up if you’d like some help!

PARLIAMENT – Members of Parliament have described as unfair and dishonest for government to continue blocking Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine from holding his music concerts. The MPs, who were reacting to Internal Affairs minister Jeje Odongo’s explanation for obstructing Mr Kyagulanyi from performing in Jinja last week, said continuing to block him is winning him public sympathy. Kyagulanyi first hit back at the minister. “I find the statement by the minister to be dishonest. The minister mentioned I was not one of the artistes supposed to perform yet I was the main artiste – with a contract, paid to perform,” Bobi Wine said. Both MPs from the opposition and ruling party condemned the police for blocking Bobi Wine. “Stopping his shows in that manner borders on violation of the Constitution,” Bugiri Municipality MP Asuman Basalirwa said. “The issue at stake is about economic rights, the right to practice. When you are dealing with economic rights, then you must adopt a liberal approach. The guidelines being issued by the police are illegal; it is the minister who is supposed to issue the guidelines,” he added. Busongora South MP Jackson Mbaju accused government of being scared of Mr Kyagulanyi. James Waluswaka also said government should stop winning Bobi Wine public sympathy with its actions. Sam Bitangaro (Bufumbira South), David Abala (Ngora County), Robert Kasule Sebunya (Nansana Municipality) and William Nzoghu (Busongora North) also condemned government in blocking Bobi Wine.

Monty is an architect by trade and a photographer by preference. His father is the noted Bahamian naturalist, Dennis Knowles, whom I knew when we both lived on Retirement Road in the 1960s. "As a boy, dad had me searching for orchids in swamps, catching land crabs, spearfishing, feeding his snakes, spiders, birds and other extraordinary pets, extracting honey from his beehives, and exploring the islands." After graduating from the University of Miami in 1990, Monty took a job with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines as a dive instructor, before setting up Monarch Architects in 1997 on East Bay Street. It became one of the largest practices in the country. His clients included the Fountain Bay Resort on Cat Island, the Royal Island Resort off Spanish Wells (in conjunction with foreign architects), the Tiamo Resort on Andros, and the Lyford Financial Centre. "I also prepared master plans for the government for the Montagu foreshore, Junkanoo Beach and the Western Esplanade, and for Royal Caribbean’s private island off the Haitian coast,” he told me. “But the peak of my architectural career was working with Sarkis Izmirlian to design the commercial village at Baha Mar, with 200,000 square feet of shops, offices and banks in the area where the police station is now.”" That project was never cancelled. he told me, "It just kind of fell by the wayside and got whittled down over time. It died a slow death. And the impact of the financial crisis put the whole development in limbo until the Chinese agreed to finance it in 2009." But Monty walked away from the business of architecture in 2010 to pursue travel, photography, art and personal happiness. “I was 42, an ardent photographer, a compulsive traveller and had enough financial cushion to do it,” he said. “So I decided to switch my focus to photography and art. I still do architecture, but I don’t want to have to take on projects just to fuel a practice." So far, he has logged more than a million miles and collected lasting memories with many new friends and acquaintances around the globe. Two full passports later, he has a deeper appreciation of the world and of the fleeting wonder of life itself. "I met Kristin (my second baby mama) about four years ago at the Yoga Retreat here. She is Norwegian and dabbled in face painting. We thought about full body painting and found some friends who were willing to act as canvasses. Because of my photography, it was not difficult to find women who were comfortable around us without clothes. In Greek mythology, a nymphe was a female nature spirit. The female body is one of nature’s most beautiful sculptures and Junkanoo is one of the most colourful and creative art forms, so Monty decided to put them all together. Back in Nassau, Monty teamed up with Antonio Saunders, a schoolteacher and fellow photographer, to find models and costumes for the Junkanoo Nymphe. They used headpieces and other parts of actual Junkanoo costumes on loan. A young woman named Analicia Thompson became the Junkanoo Nymphe in 2015. She is six feet tall - and with five-foot heels and a tall headpiece, painted in a Junkanoo theme, she cut a striking figure. A few months ago Monty joined his girlfriend Kristin at a yoga camp in Denmark for a six-week stay. "While looking for things to do, a friend who was involved with marketing the national handball championships suggested we pitch the body painting idea. "Handball is big in Scandinavia - second only to soccer - like basketball in the US. They loved the idea and arranged for me to paint the top five national players for promotional purposes. Photos were made into posters that were displayed all over the country months in advance of the championships," he said. "There were three-story posters on buildings, huge billboards, flags along the roads and at art museums, as well as graphic wraps on a train travelling across Europe. The media coverage was enormous, including live television interviews, and I am now very well known in Denmark. Some two million people watched the tourney. It was the most watched televised event in the country. Monty was able to raise $18,000 by selling photos of his body paintings of celebrity female athletes. Half went to the Bahamas Down Syndrome Centre, and half to a Danish charity. Later this month, Monty will be at the Danish travel show in Herning. The trade show will be covered by hundreds of travel writers and attended by major European tour operators, airlines, and destination reps. In fact, meetings at this show led to the launch of a new air route to Cuba from Denmark recently. “The Junkanoo Nymphe will be a special guest at the opening ceremony with the travel writers and the US ambassador to Denmark" Monty said. "I am hoping that our Ministry of Tourism will help to underwrite Analicia so she can promote the Bahamas first-hand." Monty has already approached the Ministry for support, arguing that painting and photographing Junkanoo Nymphes at prominent locations in major European and Asian cities would create a media buzz that exposes Bahamian culture to key tourist markets. According to Janet Johnson, of the Ministry of Tourism, “the Junkanoo Nymphe could be an ambassador for Bahamian art and culture. I think it’s unique. It draws attention and gets us access we wouldn't normally have. We used to pay Dr Myles Munroe a fee for talking about The Bahamas in his travels. Monty could serve in a similar role." Body art is a bigger deal than you might think. Major body painting shows are held in several countries annually, the largest being the World Body Painting Festival in Austria. In the United States shows are held in New York and New Mexico. "I plan to compete in one of these at some point and I still work with investors on developments where my passion for architecture is unhindered by the need to run a business,” Monty explained. ”But right now I'm thinking about accompanying our Olympic team to Brazil in August to help promote the Bahamas with the Junkanoo Nymphe, and perhaps take along a Junkanoo troupe as well. It would have such a powerful impact in the land of Carnival."

To maintain its reputation as a world-class research institution, McGill University has a responsibility to encourage scientific innovation. Our researchers have discovered the basis of radioactive elements, studied the functions of different parts of the brain, and even helped mold the foundations of modern medicine. With the advancement of technology, funding, and time, the realm of discovery is expanding at McGill. Though most of the focus is placed on the research done by postgraduates, for many students research at McGill can begin at the undergraduate level. In 2013, 47 percent of Bachelor of Science students were enrolled in an undergraduate research course. Within Science, all honours students are required to take a research course, and an additional 36 percent of non-honours students enrolled in these research courses last year by choice. This demonstrates a ten percent rise in students enrolling in these courses since 2006. “These numbers are impressive; plus, students also participate in other extracurricular research activities, such as volunteering or summer research studentships, which are not captured in these numbers,” stated Chisholm. Research-based courses place undergraduate science students in the laboratories of leading researchers for credit and allows students to gain practical experience. “Students become engaged in creating knowledge and figuring things out rather than just memorizing the facts,” Chisholm noted. Through work in a laboratory, undergraduate researchers have gained exposure and have contributed to major discoveries. Jaan Altosaar, a 2013 McGill graduate and a current graduate student pursuing a PhD in physics at Princeton University partook in research at McGill in the labs of epigenetics Professor Moshe Szyf and biophysics Professor Walter Reisner. There are several programs piloted by McGill connecting students to research opportunities, such as the Soup and Science series of presentations and funding initiatives available through the Undergraduate Research Office. Recently, Chisholm found that the number of students paid for research conducted in the summer is approximately the same as the number of tenure track professors doing the same thing. A force leading the public representation of undergraduate research is the McGill Science Undergraduate Research Journal (MSURJ). The journal features original research conducted by undergraduate students. Submission of articles to the journal provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to participate in the drafting and review of scientific articles. Aside from reviewing and publishing the work of other undergraduates for the journal, the editors behind the publication are involved in their own research pursuits. Musharbash assists a PhD student in a biomedical engineering lab supervised by Dr. David Junkers, in which specific proteins called biomarkers are studied. The biomarker proteins, detectable through blood tests, could be used in the future to catch high mortality diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. “Before, the only way to know that someone had a disease was through symptoms, but now they are looking to blood tests. Researchers are looking to detect the disease through blood tests, before people actually ‘get’ the disease,” stated Musharbash. Yuhao Shi, Executive Editor of MSURJ, has had the opportunity to work in the prestigious Genome Innovation Center supervised by Dr. Jacek Majewski. At the Genome Innovation Center, the fields of computer science and biology are merged to study how the use of computers can analyze the genomes of people with genetic disorders. Paul Wiseman, one of McGill’s most renowned researchers and leading chemist and physicist, discovered his interest and field of research in chemistry and health during his years as an undergraduate student. Now, Wiseman has discovered properties of malaria that allow for more accurate and simple diagnosis. The research efforts of undergraduate students are showcased yearly at the Undergraduate Research Conference, occurring this year on October 10 in the Arts Building. Research featured this year spans many disciplines and delves into topics such as “the fear of missing out”, glacier melting, green pharmaceuticals, and sensory stimulation. Chisholm says that many people that attend the conference believe some of the research conducted by the undergraduates is graduate level work. Chisholm attributes the depth of the work to both the quality of the students and the willingness of professors to accept and mentor students in research.

The entirety of Fine’s testimony is instructive, the cited portion is taken from pages 12-16. Of 869 complaints, less than 10% were even deemed worthy of an investigation. Not bad, right? Even if you’re reported, the odds are clearly in your favor. Perhaps one will say that crank litigants make a lot of frivolous complaints. That would be wrong. Sixty-nine percent of investigated complaints were initiated by judges. Private lawyers and private litigants amounted for less than 3% of complaints leading to investigation. Of the 84 cases worthy of investigation (58 of which were cases where a judge had already found prosecutorial misconduct), in only 18 cases were prosecutors disciplined. According to OPR, there is a crisis within the federal judiciary. The numbers don’t add up. DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility investigated less than 10% of all reported cases of prosecutorial misconduct. While federal judges found prosecutorial misconduct in 58 cases, DOJ only found prosecutorial misconduct in 18 of those 58 cases. It’s pretty clear that the Department of Justice cannot be trusted to investigate itself. Self-policing is a failure. In 2009 alone, there have been nearly a dozen high-profile cases of prosecutorial misconduct. If OPR continues its mission, those prosecutors can sleep easy. The odds are clearly on their side. The just recently released 2007 OPR Annual Report is no better than that of 2006, and arguably even more bleak. “The [Justice] Department’s performance in the Auerhahn matter raises serious questions about whether judges should continue to rely upon the department to investigate and sanction misconduct by federal prosecutors,” wrote Wolf, who last July, after expressing frustration with his punishment, took the unusual step of asking the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers to launch disciplinary proceedings against Auerhahn. Mistrusting the OPR, Sullivan took things a step further. He dismissed the case on April 7 and appointed a special prosecutor to investigate six of the lawyers from the department’s Public Integrity Section involved with the trial. Defense attorney Sullivan told the court he’d complained three times to Mukasey about the conduct and nev­er received so much as an acknowledgment. “Shocking, but not surprising,” Judge Sullivan responded. Under the Bush administration, probes of misconduct often went undisclosed because of the potential for personal embarrassment. Upon taking office, President Barack Obama admonished all federal agencies that such personal or political considerations shouldn’t weigh against the public interest. Probes should not be withheld just because they might cause discomfort. “These people should be embarrassed,” Green says. As amply demonstrated by the whitewash at the hands of the OPR and David Margolis, things have not particularly improved in the least under the hope and change of Barack Obama and Eric Holder. The Roach Motel is an absolute must read, and the OPR is still an embarrassment. Time after time the reports of frustration with the OPR process wind up with one name involved: David Margolis. Margolis is not even part of the OPR, yet controls every significant report emanating from the OPR and, by his own admission, has been the sole gatekeeper for any findings of misconduct “since the 1990s”. If Margolis has ever found misconduct by higher level officials in the department, I cannot find it. Of course that is not surprising in light of the secrecy and lack of transparency testified to by Glen Fine. Secrecy and opaqueness proudly wielded and ordered at the command of – you guessed it – David Margolis, who is concerned that his department’s attorneys not be “humiliated”. Public disclosure and trust is such a quaint thing compared to protecting your own it seems for Mr. Margolis. This is the one and same David Margolis who, in the rare and previously unheard of instance where findings of professional misconduct by DOJ leaders and/or elite attorneys such as the OLC crew of Yoo and Bybee actually were made by the OPR, took it upon himself to personally and unilaterally gut the findings and protect his own. Further views into the professional soul of David Margolis, or lack thereof, can be found from Jeff Kaye, Scott Horton and more Scott Horton. So, the in-house “Yoda”, who considers himself the “department’s cleaner” is the guy the DOJ put in charge of protecting the American public from the virulent malfeasance of actors such as John Yoo and Jay Bybee, not to mention all the other cases that courts and citizens have been able to get no action on over the years. It seems David Margolis has his own institutional interests that present an appearance of conflict with his duties to protect the public from malevolent lawyering by DOJ attorneys, especially high ranking ones. Pretty much explains everything. As I said at the outset, this is merely the first in a series of posts discussing the many and severe conflict issues surrounding the OPR Torture Report. From this general introduction, over the next few days, I will have more as will both Marcy and Mary.

National Safe Driving Week, Dec. 1 – 7, draws attention to the special circumstances involved with winter driving conditions. However, it is also an opportunity to think about all aspects of safe driving. One thing to consider is that in the winter, the interior of a vehicle is usually quite warm. Due to shorter days, drivers may also be driving in the dark both on their way to and from work. This creates conditions that can induce sleepiness. In normal circumstances, it would be advisable to pull over and have a short nap. However, winter conditions present a unique danger because if the vehicle is turned off, one can get very cold or freeze. On the other hand, keeping the vehicle running, can create a carbon monoxide danger. If you are pulling over to have a roadside nap in the winter, ensure that the vehicle flashers are on and that one or more windows are open an inch or two to allow for fresh air. Also, consider calling someone, let them know you’ve stopped for a nap and request that they call you in 15 – 20 minutes. Don’t just set your own alarm because if you were to succumb to carbon monoxide, the alarm would be of no value. Have a winter safety kit in your car. Recognize conditions which can cause sleepiness. Keep the interior of the vehicle cooler. Listen to talk radio or lively music. Drive Alert: 38 Minutes That Could Save Your Life.

Most people don’t realize the kind of competition in the art corridors. Unless you enter the upper echelon of distinguished names, arts are looked upon as a frivolous profession. Thus, certainly the best should pass through the initial hurdles and thereby go ahead with investing their time, efforts and money into it. One of the best acting schools in India says that they take in a mere 2% of the applicants. At international institutes, the bid is even worse. Thus if you are going to chase such dreams, its best that you get organized in your effort and time spent. Creative interests can sure be turned into beguiling careers when nurtured and honed with enough hard work and guidance. However, the one problem that nags artists is that success as well as talent are both very subjective issues in this field. Immeasurable and unquantifiable, no one can tell you for sure how far you have come and how much further away are you from your goals. This is precisely why, it is more difficult to break the cult and make it into a good arts college than pursuing mainstream education. You cannot know from where should you start preparing and what are the areas of improvements. Thus, why couldn’t I make it into the drama or film school, is a hard question to answer, but lack of sufficient preparation is the commonest dream killer. Firstly, understand that auditions are expensive. Many schools charge substantially for auditions alone and you can’t just use the live turf for the heck of experiencing it. Thus, a cleverly crafted campaign preceded by ample practice and hard work is required. You must switch on to the fierce mode at least full six-months before the evaluation process starts. Begin with focusing on your speech and communication skills. Actors often mistake treating dialogue delivery and facial expressions as two different parts of a performance. However, dubbing might be an easy aid that underpins each and every performance in the digital era, but sadly, audition halls are still old-school where the sheer tenacity of your own voice should ring the hearts of the audience. Practice each and every syllable loud out in front of a recorder before moving on to the dialogues. The nitty-gritties of phonetics have a lot more to convey than they are credited for. Once you have mastered the verbal aspect then move on to the facial expressions. Practice mimicking vivid human emotions, wordless and have yourself recorded. Invest in buying the recorded versions of several outstanding silent plays and follow them until you can visualize each and every expression with closed eyes. Once you are done with these extensive exercising phases, it’s time to merge the two very important lessons you taught yourself. Now watch your favourite movies, the ones you have grown up watching and those that planted the seed deep within. Mimic the scenes in a careless fashion and have it recorded. Now compare your performance on these long practiced pitches and I bet you can see the improvement from Day 1 to today. This technique is going to be your life long apprentice in mastering the trait as you climb through the ladders of success.

I'm removing the carpets and installing new ones in my 96 RMW. Any ideas on what else to replace or inspect while the carpet is off? I know checking for floor board rust is one, however, there's hardly any rust on my 96 and I'm from CA so it shouldn't be too bad I'm assuming. I'm also fixing up the seats! Ill make a new post when I'm all done with the interior with pics for you all! Hopefully.

Home Betting News Football Betting Weekend Football Predictions | Weekend European Betting System! Weekend Football Predictions | Weekend European Betting System! Hi all! Did you guys miss the Weekend European Betting System section? It will be back in action after the short winter break this Saturday with picks from Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Let’s just briefly remind of the previous European betting system preview which did not bring us much luck in mid-December when the BT4Y crew hit only a single of three bets (Guingamp’s double chance away at Caen – ended with no goals). Milan shockingly suffered a demolishing 3-0 loss away at Hellas Verona, while Athletic Bilbao failed to beat Real Sociedad in the Basque derby which offered no goals at the end. We see a nice value in backing the Old Lady not to lose the clash at Mercedes-Benz-Arena this Saturday at the odds of 4/5. The visitors have closed the year in some style picking up back-to-back wins over Hannover 96 and RB Leipzig netting six goals in the process. Stuttgart have lost each of last four league ties and we don’t see them as 1/1 favourites in spite of decent attacking displays in mid-season friendlies. The first pick is Hertha BSC or Draw at the odds of 4/5! If you prefer to pick this match as a single bet, we strongly recommend you to take advantage of the great offer on BETFAIR. Place 10 EUR on Hertha BSC or Draw and they will give you 30 EUR in free bets. Register HERE. We just have to try with the BTTS pick here since both Rennes and Marseille have quite a respectable attacking potential. Additionally, each of last six games Rennes played in all competitions saw both teams on target. The Phocians come into this as favourites, but they’ve conceded at least a goal in six of last seven games on the road in all competitions. The second bet is BTTS at 4/5! Both Espanyol and Athletic Bilbao have been rock-solid at the back in recent ties and we just can’t see a high-scoring scenario when they meet each other this Sunday at RCDE Stadium. The Basques have kept their net untouched in four of last five league ties, while the Budgerigars have not conceded a single goal in three of last four matches in all competitions.

When Patrick Soon-Shiong said “Social Media is the cancer of our time” (https://cnb.cx/2zwgBEv), he caught my attention and led me to reflect on the real meaning behind what he said. With a steady drop in newspaper readership, the increasing use of Twitter to bypass the formal conduits of official communication, and the uncovering of the use of social media platform to influence voters, the major questions to ask should be: who do we trust and how do we stay informed? In this other article from MSN (link below), I find the comment from the ex-Facebook executive, Chamath Palihapitiya, quite alarming. On CNBC, Palihapitiya said that social media is creating a society that confuses “popularity” with “truth.” The lack of control over what is being posted on social media to respect the freedom of speech, the current system leaves the door open to doubt the information provided by the more traditional media. The question of credibility makes propaganda and manipulations much easier as we can see in several instances. As Facebook and Google mentioned in recent days, social media companies will have to increase their standards for self-regulating their platforms before regulators step-in. Not an easy task. Try asking yourself: Where do you get your daily news, and how do you trust these sources? Even as someone who is very interested in languages, it never occurred to me that the health of languages could be so closely linked to the health of surrounding plant and animal species. I stumbled across this article from The Revelator, a news initiative for the Center for Biological Diversity, which showed how “populations of the green sea turtle, or honu, increased as the Hawaiian language made a comeback.” The article explained the theory of biocultural diversity: the link between language, knowledge and the environment. Largely due to the regions’ colonial histories, both the Americas and Australia have large numbers of dead or endangered languages as well as many endangered animal and plant species. As I learned from this article, there is also an NGO that has been working to shed light on biocultural diversity to fight linguistic and floral/faunal homogenization for the past 20 years, Terralingua (https://terralingua.org/). Cultural explorations have always been fascinating to me. I have enjoyed a few trips that took me to more rural areas in the world – by rural, I mean the village of Moshi in Tanzania, for example. Even though the prospect of any new trip, let’s call it exploration, is scarce in the near future I love to read about isolated parts of the world that radiate risk, adventure, and distant cultures. As a reader of the Weekend Digest, you already know that I read National Geographic often, so it comes as no surprise that this week’s Digest also includes an article from the ultimate destination for day-dreamers and “wannabe” explorers. Peru and Brazil are countries that hold vast territories of the Amazon Jungle, home to some of the world’s last remote indigenous people. This article is brilliant in many ways, but what it does best is introducing its readers to a culture that is distant for the everyday urban-culture. A few weeks ago we discussed digital transformation in manufacturing and Industry 4.0. With these changes happening rapidly and being so widespread, the manufacturing sector is now at a much greater cybersecurity risk. Make sure to follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn to see these posts.

The story of the Alamo can be summarized by explaining that some brave soldiers fought to preserve their territory. They fought to the death for what they believed and are honored in history for their heroism. Today there is another battle brewing in San Antonio over a new law with the capacity to stifle our First Amendment freedom of speech and freedom of religion rights. Our right to think for ourselves, especially when it favors virtue, is inalienable. I’ve visited the city of San Antonio twice—once for the National League of Cities Conference and another time when our son graduated from Air Force Military Boot Camp. San Antonio has a great tradition for which it should be proud. Now the San Antonio City Council has brought more national attention to itself by passing a new law. This law may be able to disqualify anyone from serving as an elected official, an appointed official, or from having any contract with the city if that person has ever spoken out against perversion or attends a church where the pastor has spoken out against perversion. While you may have already heard plenty about the Duck Dynasty saga, involving free speech, it was between a private TV producer and the talent on a program. Many viewers were dismayed and threatened to boycott A& E, yet the government didn’t have any involvement in this issue. In a free market economy, choices made between an employer and an employee might upset us but this is clearly a private sector issue. The debacle with A&E or Phil Robertson is not a governmental issue. Will the citizens who care about moral values be “sold down the river”? Regardless of whether you care what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms, you should care about what happens in your city because these ideas are spreading all over our country. 1.) Don’t lose heart. We can accomplish more by pulling the shroud off all efforts to destroy our community spirit with intimidation or fear of “political correctness”. It’s always appropriate to correct others when they are misinformed. Thank you for reading our newsletter where you can hear the truth. Forward it to others who need to know how suddenly they can lose their freedom of speech in their own cities. 2.) Let your City Councilmen or Aldermen know you don’t want them passing laws in your city that will diminish any of our freedoms, regardless of who is driving the bandwagon. Remember the Alamo! There is a lot more happening in San Antonio than just historic relics. You thought the war was over, but we are now engaged in another war. When the San Antonio City Council decided to ban people from being involved in their city if they ever spoke out against moral degradation, they started a new kind of war with their citizens and with the Constitution.

Center for a Stateless Society » Celebrate Labor Day by Supporting Incarcerated Laborers! Celebrate Labor Day by Supporting Incarcerated Laborers! Most of us in the radical labor movement are well aware of the historical bait-and-switch pulled with May Day and the modern American holiday established by the state known as Labor Day. Despite this many anarchists still take Labor Day as an opportunity to spread the message of worker liberation and freedom from capitalism. In fact, that’s just what the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee of the Industrial Workers of the World is encouraging people to do. Specifically IWOC is asking folks to celebrate Labor Day this year by standing in solidarity with incarcerated laborers and demanding an end to prison slavery. IWOC has recently put out an official statement urging outside supporters of the ongoing prison strike to take things to the next stage. While we should not stop writing letters, participating in phone zaps, donating to the strike fund, supporting boycott and divestment efforts, and organizing solidarity protests and noise demos, there is a call to escalate tactics in tandem with the actions taken by those behind bars. Inspired by the recent actions of another wing of the prison abolitionist movement, Occupy ICE, as well as by our inmate comrades holding it down on the inside, IWOC and others have chosen to put themselves on the line and even risk arrest to disrupt business as usual for those who profit from prison slave labor. We are being called upon to not only protest at the local prison, jail, or work camp, but to blockade prison labor facilities, refuse to let prison work vans get to their destinations unhindered, and establish occupation encampments outside their operations. We must stand strong and refuse to budge until our demands are met or we are forced out. And if we are forced out of our physical blockades and occupations then we promise to come back even bigger and with more refined tactics. It is through solidarity and direct action that we will get the demands of these prisoners met. So as Occupy ICE inspires yet another Occupy movement against prison slavery, we must gather our camping supplies and put them to good use, whether by going out there ourselves or by donating to those who can. Let’s make this year’s Labor Day something to remember by using it to launch the next stage of the movement to end prison slavery. This Labor Day we celebrate ALL workers.

The video is in French, Patrice talks about a lot of stuff including his new Ancestors game, but also very candidly about his time on AC. - AC 2 is Désilet's masterpiece to this day in his opinion and he's very proud and nostalgic of it. - He never approved of AC's annualization, saying it "physically hurt him" when they started to do it with Brotherhood. He doesn't even want to talk about it. - He mentions AC Origins and says it's the perfect proof as people are much more excited about it since it's been 2 years since the last game. - About Lucy: Kristen Bell asked for royalties on the franchise, so Désilets single handedly decided to kill off Lucy without even telling Bell. - He says AC is at its core, a science-fiction franchise, not a historical one. And anyone who says otherwise is wrong. He also thinks they didn't handle modern-day well enough to be compelling to all players, but still says it's very wrong to put it to the sideline. -He doesn't think much of the movie. -He thinks story-telling in video games is inadequate for the medium and now favors "player made narrative". He mentions Breath Of The Wild as the perfect example. Do we have any French members who might be able to translate more from the video? Perhaps he'd like to enlighten the world with the exact span of time between game releases that ensures perfection. :) I find it laughable when people talk about time. CD Projekt RED has already proved that they'll delay a game if they feel it needs to be delayed, can you say the same about Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed? I don't know about you but at this point I wouldn't put my hand on fire for them, what is a shame because I really see potential in this franchise and would love to see it thrive in more aspects than sales figures. Yes, they took a year off now and that's very good, here's hoping it'll show in the game and if from now on they feel they need more than one year off to finish a game they'll take it. Exactly... and if it is perfect 6 months after the last game.... should they still wait another 18 months before releasing it? People cannot have it both ways. So is it done when it is done or... only done when some fans consider it has spent enough time in development to be done? Should Ubi pretend to work on it after it is finished so some fans think it has had enough development time? Well, in Origins' case, considering the game is out in about 2 months and the animation and lip synch is way below what we've come to expect from the series, it clearly needs more work. People who have played the demos also have some concerns about the number of bugs they've encountered at this stage. Do you believe Ubi will push back the release date even if it turns out they won't have time to fix all the issues? 'Cause I don't. This was the point I was trying to make.. And the demo was made that day of the show? or perhaps 4 months before? (so maybe it has had 6 months before release?) and if these are just the trivialities that people have to pick over... are they game breaking? Ubi could increase the staff and risk a "too many cooks spoil the broth" situation or the could lose 30% of the content.... personally I think there are things we could lose or even delay them to be made as DLC ... but as some people tend to believe DLC is not extra but part of the original game held back for more profit, they'd be right on this occasion. AC games have always had a lot and I like value for money but as I rarely buy DLC it should bother me if several missions were delayed and made into DLC so the team could concentrate on the animations that I ignore or skip where possible... but in reality it would not bother me at all. People here hold CDProjekts failure to deliver on time... as a beacon to perfecting games but the witcher 3 launched with many glitches and bugs... AAA games are hugely complex and will always have problems.... once people accept that it makes it easier to put the little things in perspective. Anyone expecting perfection in these types of games will never be satisfied. Games could be delayed year after year until people are let go but as soon as the game is released people will find problems. People complain companies are secretive about games and I can see why..... sometime a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Let's wait until the game is out before we judge it. Edit and if that is all that's wrong... do I want Ubi to delay my chance to play the game because some people with higher standards want it delayed.... NO... I say to them... don't buy it until after it has launched and if it still doesn't reach your standards wait until it's been patched after a few weeks and if it still isn't at your standard.... don't buy it. Me, at least my enjoyment will not be staved off because of others. there would be no need to lip sync in any language so it would save every scene being edited to match all the languages... video games (including AC already) do this to a certain amount so it wouldn't be difficult to do it completely.... they could still have people doing sneezes, yells, agonising screams, and "oh", "huh" "oooh" "ah" and any other noises, sounds that people make that do not need translating. I think just about every fan of AC understood the series was a chic sci-fi. The most hardened fans wanted to see Ubisoft make it about the histories too; so that's what Ubisoft did. I certainly enjoyed AC2:B, far more than AC2. It was a more polished AC2 imo. Sands of Time was a better game from hom than AC2, I think he's probably playing to the camera there, when he says AC2 was his masterpiece. Disagree on that. BotW is an exceptional game. I think it's been a constant topic among devs all year. Though the completed game, doesn't seem like you're doing anything you haven't done before. Truth is there's a lot new, from the approach onwards. Also.. I loved the movie. It was very well done. At least we know how the apple ended up in the Americas, in the first place. AC3 is one of my fav games. Perhaps not having an appearance from Shaun & Rebecca was a let down, but then they were part of Desmond Story. Not to mention having Carl in the movie laying down in a chair, would be a more boring Animus than the one in the movie. Yet while within the Animus, it's all history. The Sci-fi chic was what the modern day sequences was about. I think, Ubisoft will eventually get back to working that back in, in a new way. One more deserving of Sci-fi. AC3 did it well, a kind of nod to Another World. Not everyone's idea of what Sci-fi is but it's still cool. Fav quote from the movie: "People no longer care about their civil liberties.They care about their standard of life. The modern world has outgrown notions like freedom. They're content to follow." ~ Because it's true. Haha, agreed that I kinda figured about the Lucy thing.

This happened in a Twinstar and this is what I wrote to maintenance. What do you guys think happened? I flew XXXX this afternoon and found the right engine was having random drops of RPM by about 30 RPM at full power almost every minute. When I reduced the throttle(we reduced to cruise climb power 25”/2400 RPM) per the oscillating RPM memory item the frequency decreased but it was still happening every few minutes. When we reduced to cruise power(21”/2200 RPM) it seemed to stop, but on approach I found the right governor was maintaining the RPM plus or minus 10 RPM while the left maintained RPM right on. Through this time nothing was out of the ordinary for any engine indications other than RPM. Not a huge problem but I was just wondering what the cause might be. How in the hell can you tell it was plus or minus 10 rpm? Turbulence causes more than a 10 or even 30 rpm change. G1000...the other engine was not wavering at all. This airplane has been breaking down nonstop and this is probably just another thing to add to the list. Props were just overhauled because the sheath on the leading edge was separating from the wooden blade. Digital tach? What are you flying that turbulence causes a 30RPM change? I see all kinds of crazy, long period turbulence and never get any movement of RPM during it. The other thing was there was a noticeable yawing motion whenever the right engine dropped back in RPM....slightly disconcerting on initial climb out. Let's see, on the list of things I have seen cause those symptoms.. And once the govorner was actually bad. I'm not familiar with the Twinstar or FADEC, but it could as be as simple as the prop governor control being a little loose (there's some slop in the control cable). Are you kidding me? Every airplane with a prop. You must not know what turbulence actually is. I concur with the yaw. If it's yawing due to un-commanded prop change, then ya, write it up. Otherwise. LOL! I had a prop go into beta un-commanded once. That is worth a write up. Guess I should have been a little more clear. This is the L360 Twinstar with the good ol' 6 levers and there was noticeable yaw. How you likin' Klawock Cable? I doubt you have a problem with the governor itself. Probably there is something else going on in the engine causing a power fluctuation (intermittent magneto, fuel injection system issue, etc) and what you are seeing is just the governor overshooting as it tries to keep up with the power fluctuations. In my limited experience governors are pretty bulletproof and the only time we've had to pull them is when you max out the adjustment and they still won't give you max takeoff RPM. Either way, as a CFI troubleshooting is sort of out of your hands and it's obviously a legit problem. If no one has already, someone needs to take a mech up with them and demo the problem. Yep it was a wide deck governor on a narrow deck engine. For real? I've flown multiple piston multi engine aircraft, and have never seen turbulence change the RPM's on an airplane. Ya, and not just multi's and certainly not just constant speed either. I don't understand how you haven't seen this.

"for the low price the audio quality is completely fine, if i had to complain about something it would be the battery life." "The little bit of audio I did get to hear sounded good enough for $20 bluetooth headphones, but I am unable to comment on battery life since I only used them for an hour at the most." "The battery life isn't very impressive (around three hours) but usually, I don't use them long enough to kill the life anyway."

"It works well, but the battery life is overstated." "In this items defense its batteries are probably smaller but its the fact that they are cheap that the battery life is short...id say a good 3 hours max." "Excellent quality, long lasting battery." "These headphones have pretty poor sound and battery life." "i had tripped over the cable while they were charging and damaged the charging port on the headphones." "Only complaint would be that they would be smart to have them charge via microUSB so that one charger does all the work." "Charger also broke after a few days which is usb only ." "Now it won't take a charge: While plugged in, its red charging LED never turns off, and the headphones are dead silent and LEDs never light after unplugging the charger, even after holding the volume up (reset) or power (pair) buttons." "It claims to have a minimum talk listen time of 5 hours, but the best I've had is about 2 hours - even with a full charge." "This item was easy to charge and paired with my android cell phone without issue." "They work great, have very nice sound at least for me (I won presume of being an audio pro but they sound like any normal ear plugs) and at a very good price...Only thing that could be better is the charger, it would be nice if it was standard microSD." "I thought these headphones were good, until the third time I used them, now they won't charge or connect." "These things are totally worth 20 bucks just to be able to charge my phone and still walk around listening to my audiobooks." "It great they are small and hidden to use them in class to listen to music I use then since for my iphone 5s" "Looks like I'll have to buy something else for phone calls, but it's great for music in the gym." "these would be good for a podcast but definitely NOT for music that you care about the quality." "Music sounds pretty lackluster and bland on these headphones." "Great for those wanting to work out or listen to music without wires! " "At first I enjoyed the comfort and music audio quality." "With that routine, it is working well for me and the sound is not great but good enough for my purpose and for the price." "One ear had slightly lower volume than the other, and my iPhone sometimes tries to default to the earbuds if I leave them on, when I am trying to talk on the actual phone, but a few minor problems I can overlook for this fantastic price!" "Sound quality isn't the greatest, but solid for the price." "Very short range, not a good product even at this price." "i had bought a pair to use for the gym and was blown away at how well they worked for how inexpensive they are." "for the money spent these are great! " "I recommend you take your money and business elsewhere you will thank me." "Price was perfect for taking a chance on an inexpensive wireless budset." "Works, but not great quality." "Understand that they cost $20 and the sound quality is not perfect." "Otherwise audio quality was acceptable but definitely NOT exceptional." "The problem is this device is linked when out of the box this is due to quality tested prier to them being shipped out." "These things have surprisingly good sound quality." "These headphones have pretty good quality, they charge fast but only last for a few hours so you have to always have the a usb connection computer to charge with." "does not produce good sounds." "The sound is not good either." "I'm gonna be ticked if they don't because I really liked these at first they sound great imho." "Once synced does a fairly good job, not sure great sound." "The receiving sound is excellent, but almost everyone I've talked to with them as a phone headset says they cannot hear me."

The fashion industry in Australia erupted on Thursday morning March 6th at the news a landmark exhibition showcasing the often irreverent, always colourful and completely unconventional designs of French Haute Couture and Pret-a-Porter fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier was coming to Australia. The show will follow on from its overseas success in cities such as Montreal, New York and London. It will be held at the National Gallery of Victoria over the Australian Spring and Summer starting on October 7, 2014. Tony Ellwood, Director, NGV and his team will be enjoying a fashionable adventure in the art of design and style in Melbourne NOW. If it was possible even more excitement followed, as it was further announced the great man himself would be in Melbourne to launch his blockbuster show. What a coup for both the Gallery and for Victoria. The fashion crowd will go ‘ga ga’ as many events are planned in celebration. At Paris Fashion week recently Jean Paul Gaultier launched his latest look delivering a punk punch, with next generation child models mingling with their model mums and grandparents on the catwalk. There were beards, baubles, bangles and glittering images; all topped off with looks from Spartan style Mohawk hairstyles for daily here and now wear as well as suits for space for those with an eye to the future. Turning up wearing his own silver spacesuit, Gaultier as always provided some controversial, sometimes outrageous and totally innovative clothes that sported plenty of sequins, silver, flags with biker jackets over tartan ensembles that worked alongside some completely outlandish ensembles. These were set off by a translucent space style helmet that remained open, looking for all the world like the style of shame dome dogs are forced to wear when recovering from veterinary intervention. Organised around seven themes, the fashion world of Gaultier at the NGV will take us on an ODYSSEY. This includes a visit to the BOUDOIR. It will explore the concept of ideal of beauty through the MUSES, examine the influence of PUNK CANCAN and find out if fashion really goes beyond SKIN DEEP, satisfying those on the sidewalk, as well as those viewing the clothes on the CATWALK in a METROPOLIS, the place Gaultier has made his own. Finally it will survey the all-new URBAN JUNGLE, where contemporary cultures of the world meet, forming a new aesthetic, one that is thereafter incorporated into the world of haute couture. In a world where ethics, a revised set of standards society today will accept, are being integrated back into the globalised fashionable world, the show will reflect how we go about and live our lives in entirely new ways. Using the latest ‘sidewalk to catwalk’ technology, Gaultier survey’s the influences and virtues of his designs that have extended their reach well beyond the boundaries of a French salon into the realms of art, music and film. Denis Marleau and Stéphanie Jasmin of UBU/Compagnie de creation of Montreal have been in charge of the production and staging. Accessories, sketches, stage costumes including footage from films, runway shows, concerts and dance performances will help illustrate why Jean Paul Gaultier has become unrivalled in his field, helped through rich collaborations with celebrities in the world of art, design, music and style, including icons such as Andy Warhol. “Preparing this exhibition I have realised how strong my ties to Australia are – Nicole Kidman was my first couture client; I have dressed Cate Blanchett on numerous occasions; Kylie is a dear friend and I have had the pleasure of working closely with her on her tours” he said. Then noted “I have also been working for many years with models Gemma Ward, Catherine McNeil, Jarrod Scott, and the list goes on. The people are what make this country great and you Australians certainly excel!” said Jean Paul. “As a long-time fan and admirer of Jean Paul Gaultier and his work, it was a great thrill to collaborate with him for my tour costumes… a dear friend and an icon of design, long may he reign! I’m honoured to be part of this amazing exhibition and know visitors will leave elated and inspired.” Said Kylie. The show will also reveal a full cycle of generational celebrity; a celebration of costume featuring multi-ethnic influences. They include those gleaned from the Bedouin, Orthodox Jewish, Chinese and Russian peoples, while reflecting the exuberance of Spanish Flamenco, the colour and life of Bollywood, as well as the cool spare elegance of the Nordic race. Born at Paris, France in 1952, Gaultier started work with the then renowned designer Pierre Cardin in 1970 age 18. He staged his own first show in 1976 gaining critical and commercial success quickly, although he would not have a home for his own fashion house until 1982. He opened at 6 Rue Vivienne at Paris in 1985 and designed costumes for Madonna’s Blond Ambition tour in 1990. His signature perfume in a glass bottle shaped like a corseted figure was released in 1994 and he debuted h is couture collection in 1997. In July 2001, the designer was made a Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur, a great honour for any Frenchman. It was 2003 when Jean Paul Gaultier became head designer at Hermès, debuting his first haute-couture collection for autumn/winter 2004-05. He stayed there for seven years. The Jean Paul Gaultier show will open at the National Gallery of Victoria in October. Featuring over 140 superbly crafted garments spanning his career, the exhibition will also feature the famous conical bras and corsets made for Madonna. It is sure to be a spectacular overview and includes examples from his haute couture collection, his ready to wear collections and the stage costumes worn by Nicole Kidman at the Oscars and Cate Blanchett at the Golden Globes. The first major monograph The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Catwalk to the Sidewalk, published by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts under the direction of Thierry-Maxime Loriot, will accompany the exhibition on this outstanding French designer.

If indeed life is about the journey not the destination, I believe we are shaped by how we choose to interpret our life’s experiences. The more we dare to experience, the more we learn. Art is an expression of our personal experiences at a point in time. By expressing our feelings about these experiences through a creative process, we explore, expand, and honour their existence, ultimately learning more about ourselves. Some of my favorite inspirations are nature, trees, water, clouds and landscapes. I am also fascinated by patterns, textures and colour. 2012 New England Art Society - Best in show Contemporary art work "Big Sky" 2015 New England Art Society - Best in show mixed media work "Inspiration" Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my artworks.

That's what I mean, "post all X topic feedback here". In this case, X being spaceship controls. Perhaps having 5 or 6 stickys for feedback relating to common subjects? This thread is too specific and its topic not common enough to warrant making it a sticky. Don't know who, if any of you, believes in extraterrestrial live intelligent enought to build vehicles that can actually travel beyond the limits of the hollistic/real universe limitations, I think they do exist given the unlimited extension of the universe, thus by logic, everything exists, let's imagine for a second how those machines would function. So I imagine a kindof a flight model that is like a VTOL on a planet but with onboard computers that level you off and keep altitude or speed vectors, just like the fa-18 in fsx has an autopilot that holds your flight vector. So, we take off, nice and safe, then depending on shield strengh we can accellerate to a certain speed till we leave the atmosphere, there we change the flight model to gravi-drive vectoring, which could be relationed to your energy available/money spent on gravi-drive quality. This would vector you towards your target, calculating the perfect accel-travel-decel times so we get there in not more than (in game 5 minutes) an hour or two. Nice would be to plan a route, like gravi-drive entry point, gravi-drive exit point at safe distant from target. Enroute issues, like enemy/friendly vessels, rocks, suns should be detected by hyperfield scanners and make us drop out of gravi-drive. That way we get to shoot a bit or we found a resource rich unknown planet/sun. Of course our ship can be steered completley without any electronic assitance just for fun sake but maybe it should have a distress recovery button so if we loose it we hit tha panik button not to loose our 10.000.000 credit vessel on takeoff after having mined asteroids for 2 months to collect the necesary credits. These are just thoughts, no suggestions nor petitions at all, but I'd like to hear what you think about them. First of All, What an Incredible Program!!! While we may think that in Space we would want to grab a joystick and fly around, in reality, I would think that all space motion would be computer controlled given what we want the spacecraft to do. So I would suggest a method for saying at Time T1 spacecraft is here, pointing in this direction, at time T2 spacecraft is here pointed in this direction and so forth. You can do this for a whole set of spacecraft. Finally you say "fly all vehicles" and the you use the camera to record or view the action. This would allow you to fly complex space maneuvers like you see in any movie such as Star Trek, Star Wars, Alien. It would be great to have a method of telling the spacecraft how to point itself ( point at the earth, moon, sun, velocity vector, tangential to surface, acceleration vector, nadir, zenith, at another spacecraft and which axis, etc..)The speed is already taken into account by specifying time. Perhaps another option is to allow to record your flying and then play it back while you fly a different spacecraft so you can fly formation with yourself or others online. This would allow users to make really impressive space movies and quickly create complicated and coordinated space scenes for videos and movies. People have suggested attaching the spacecraft to the camera. That is a great idea. I do think that there should be an ability to record spacecraft movements and also camera movements in a quick render way so that you get smooth moves and then the ability of render the whole coreography with full graphics. I want to come back to life this thread, because SE is getting way more players, and a lot of them are complaining about Spaceship commands. Right now it's pretty a nightmare getting used with SE commands for spacecraft. I've got the hang of it, but for new user it's very complex. They're very similar to "free mode" commands, with WASD and RF for RCS translation, mouse for rotation and mouse scroll-wheel for throttling up/down. You can also use numpad for rotation, but I've discovered that recently since my previous keyboard had no numpad at all! It sounds easy, but as soon as you want to do orbital maneuvering or you want to fly on the surface of a planet, it kind of becomes uncomfortable. Even if I admit that WASD/RF for translation becomes very userful when you want to do docking or complex maneuvers. So... I thought it would be a good idea to completely change default commands, to make them a little more "noob-friendly", what do you think? We could take KSP or Orbiter as inspiration source. I have to agree with Salvo. People in this thread have been complaining about the keyboard controls but I use a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick to control ships in SpaceEngine. It's still really difficult to do anything with the ships although in patch 8 of 0.9.7.4., there were a few additions made to the ship hud that makes it easier than before to create stable orbits with your ship.

Dr. Bourget is a forensic psychiatrist, Integrated Forensic Psychiatric Program, Royal Mental Health Centre, and Associate Professor of Psychiatry, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This special section of the Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law focuses on stress, trauma, and dissociative experiences in the context of forensic psychiatry. The deleterious effects of stress and traumatic experiences on mental health are well known to mental health professionals. Traumatic experiences of sufficient intensity may cause the development of specific mental health conditions, such as acute stress disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adjustment disorder, anxiety disorders, and psychotic episodes. Acute stress and traumatic experiences may also be triggers for dissociation. The phenomenon of dissociation in forensic psychiatry is poorly delineated, whether by lack of clear definitions or by gaps in current knowledge. Dissociation may take many forms, and it may be considered either a disorder in itself or the symptom of another disorder. The term is often used broadly, and its relevance in the forensic context is not always clear. Yet, there are numerous instances where, from a forensic psychiatry perspective, dissociative phenomena are important. In the criminal arena, defendants' claims of having had a dissociative experience at the time of committing a criminal action may give rise to a forensic assessment of criminal responsibility. Forensic psychiatrists have heard of the infamous case of Bianchi, the serial murderer who had convinced a few experts that he had multiple personalities and later admitted that he had faked the disorder.1 Perr2 discussed the complexity of a condition such as multiple personality disorder (or dissociative identity disorder) from both clinical and legal perspectives. In the civil arena, dissociation can also raise significant concerns with regard to the presence of PTSD and disability status. Forensic professionals are often called upon to conduct independent assessments of war veterans or other workers who have been exposed to traumatic events. Numerous cases of civil litigation have to do with claims of PTSD following motor vehicle accidents, harassment in the workplace, or maltreatment in childhood, to give only a few examples. The practice of forensic psychiatry requires experts to be knowledgeable in a variety of domains relevant to general psychiatry practice. Yet, many forensic professionals have received little specific training in the area of dissociation beyond the theoretical knowledge acquired through reading or lectures. However, the expertise necessary to assess and treat individuals with dissociative disorders is acquired with supervised training and years of clinical experience with this population. This knowledge is equally important for understanding dissociation and for assessing the validity of claims of dissociation. The task of evaluating these claims has many barriers. Suspicions of malingering are common, whether related to concerns that the defendant in a criminal case is seeking to avoid legal consequences, that a plaintiff wants to obtain a better monetary settlement, or that the individual's degree of disability is less than portrayed. Claims of dissociation are not always easy to substantiate, owing to the lack of objective measurable evidence and subjectivity of symptoms and experiences reported. In a commentary, Granacher3 suggested that forensic psychiatrists, without standardized psychometric tests to measure the phenomenon of dissociation, lack the capacity to perform a scientific assessment of a claim of dissociative amnesia. We must acknowledge, however, that there is no such thing as a scientific psychometric test to replace clinical judgment, and this deficit is affirmed clearly in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).4 The DSM is the contemporary gold standard in the broad scientific community with regard to the approach to diagnosis. Results obtained on psychometric testing are not part of diagnostic criteria for any DSM diagnosis. Ultimately, all psychiatric diagnoses are based on a clinical assessment that will take into account a variety of information, such as self-report of symptoms, background, and contextual information, and finally, clinical observations that will permit formulation of a clinical diagnosis based on the dimensional approach put forward in the DSM. As we will see in this series of papers, the DSM is indeed an evolving instrument that is by no means perfect. The impetus to compile this special section on stress and trauma was to introduce or review notions of dissociative PTSD in various forensic contexts, illustrating the complexity germane to the assessment and treatment of these disorders. In the span of my career as a forensic psychiatrist, I have encountered a few complex legal cases of accused individuals claiming dissociation. I found that critical resources to inform these cases and to allow one to present them in a coherent way before the court were limited and not very helpful. The first paper in this section, by Bourget, Gagné, and Wood, is a review of general concepts related to dissociation, DSM diagnoses, and forensic implications for assessment in a forensic context. This article emphasizes several difficulties and limitations with regard to assessing individuals involved in civil and criminal proceedings. Some tips and guidelines are offered to assist the expert in the evaluation of claims of dissociation. Two original papers by Tedeschi and Billick deal with PTSD in children, discussing the response to trauma in youth and the evolution of the DSM diagnosis of PTSD in children and adolescents. They address the implications for forensic experts who evaluate youth and provide testimony in court. Regehr and LeBlanc examine the impact of PTSD and acute stress on performance and decision-making in emergency service workers in the context of psychiatric disability. This collection of papers is intended to provide some useful insights and increase awareness of a phenomenon that has become a focus of concern in many instances, as illustrated throughout the texts. There is much more to this topic that has not been covered in these papers. For instance, the neurobiological processes underlying the development of maladaptive responses to stress, such as dissociation, are still poorly understood. Novel methods of investigating an organ as complex as the brain are still being developed and refined. The current state of knowledge is still too limited to allow pinpointing of the exact mechanisms by which dissociative experiences occur in individuals. The topic of stress and trauma is broad and most challenging for forensic psychiatry. We hope that this modest contribution will be helpful to forensic psychiatrists when they are asked to perform assessments of individuals claiming dissociation or presenting a clinical picture consistent with dissociation.

Paleo Comfort Foods: Homestyle Cooking for a Gluten-Free Kitchen is a cookbook for people who have made the choice to forsake gluten, grains, dairy, and legumes, but miss hearty American food. Many of the recipes are updates on classic Southern cuisine - updated to fit the needs of people seeking a paleo diet, whether it be athletes seeking performance or non-athletes seeking to avoid disease. Let it be said that dependent upon your overall goals – whether it’s to lose weight, gain muscle mass, or avoid some intestinal inflammation – it may be that not every single recipe in this book is a good idea for you. Some of the recipes in here shouldn’t be eaten every single day. Some aren’t appropriate for those going super strict, say on a Whole 30 plan. Some aren’t wise if you are trying to lean out or bulk up, and some may not appeal to everyone. So, be warned – this cookbook may not be for you, and you may not cook from it every night if you do purchase it. That being said, my personal experience was that the recipes are quality and worth investigating. Paleo Comfort Foods begins with sections that seem to be de rigueur in cookbooks, particularly paleo cookbooks: shopping lists, pantry lists, and equipment lists (not to mention the requisite Robb Wolf foreward). While these sections are full of useful information, if this isn’t your first paleo cookbook, you may not spend a lot of time here. After that, however, the book transitions into 280 colorful pages of equally colorful recipes covering starters and snacks, sauces and staples, soups and salads, side dishes, main dishes, and desserts. While there are incredibly useful everyday recipes, particularly in the sauces and staples section, where this cookbook shines is in its adaptations of classic American meals. Jambalaya, gumbo, okra, fried green tomatoes, grits, pulled pork – it reads like a menu from my favorite barbeque joint, only I could actually eat every one of these items. I tried out a few of the recipes in my own kitchen, both to test the feasibility of preparing these recipes in conjunction with a busy lifestyle and to see how they tasted. The P, B, & J Pork Tenderloin was a bit foreign for me, but I loved what resulted from the South of the Border Stuffed Acorn Squash and Turkey Loafing recipes. I also gave the Sweet Potato Pie a go, but as mentioned in the recipe notes, I swapped out the sweet potato for pumpkin. Each recipe comes with ideas for variations, tips on ingredient shopping, and/or tips on planning ahead. I missed having more specific information on the time required for each recipe, but the ingredients and instructions were all very clear for every recipe I tested. There are some recipes I didn’t dive into yet – particularly those that would be breaded foods in “real” life, like fried okra or fried chicken. For those of you fond of fried foods and breads, you will find solace in these gluten-free recipes that instead use almond, coconut and other flours. Frankly, there are many, many recipes in this book I am looking forward to making. Not having grown up on Southern foods, this cookbook feels exotic to me, which is nice in comparison to many paleo cookbooks that feel a bit boring and make me wonder why I bought it. I don’t wonder why I have this book and I think it makes for an excellent source of culinary exploration. There are those who will look at this cookbook and critique it as not being paleo, but I think you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who thinks the meals aren’t tasty. The authors acknowledge that paleo comes in a variety of forms. Undergoing, ironically, a type of evolution. If you are someone who enjoys old-fashioned home cooking, but are committed to a gluten-free lifestyle, this is a cookbook you should definitely look into." "Paleo Comfort Foods: Homestyle Cooking for a Gluten-Free Kitchen" is available for $16.81 at Amazon.com.

A hotspot expedition in a Swedish city that often is shadowed by its larger Danish neighbour. Here is my list of things to do in Malmö. So now and then I have to travel to Malmö. Malmö is Sweden’s thirds largest city. Recently I was back in Malmö, time for a hotspot expedition in a city that often is shadowed by its larger Danish neighbour. Here is my list of things to do in Malmö. Traveling to Malmö is easy. Malmö is quite near to Copenhagen and its airport. You just have to cross the bridge known from the series The Bridge. Before, when I went to Malmö I had to travel via Amsterdam to Copenhagen. Luckily I could now take the plane from Groningen airport. For me, just in 1.5 hour in the middle of the city of Malmö. Malmö is and always has been a port city. This is reflected in its sometimes edgy appearance and in the amount of inhabitants from different cultures. Which again is reflected in the many restaurants in the city. But, Malmö is far more a Swedish place. The city is modern, especially the newly renovated port area of Västra Hamnen. You’ll find many Scandi design stores and Swedish design fashion boutiques. I love Swedish interior design and I’m loving their fashion style even more (duh). So, here’s my tips for the things to do in Malmö. Malmö’s train stations. The first of what you’ll see from the city, but absolute worth it. The train from Copenhagen stops in central Malmö at Malmö Triangaln and Malmö Centralstation. This line is quite recent and the station are modern and fresh. I liked the comfortable modern designs of the stations. The food court at the central station is just great, where do you find these things at this location these days? Malmö central station is the best exit for the city’s old town centre. Just near Triangeln station is Triangeln shopping mall and Möllevången restaurant and bar area. Turning Torso. Scandinavia’s highest (and only?) skyscraper. Turning Torso is located in a former ship yard area of Västra Hamnen, today a modern and light area of housing and ships. A great location because the sea is adjacent. Building design lovers would love this area (or at least think this area is interesting) for the various modern styles of housing. Bus line 5 leads to Västra Hamnen. Modern too, because I cannot say it’s a bus or a tram or a metro. The line features them all! Most shops and boutiques are to be found in the old town centre of the city. But have a look in streets next to the big shops. I found this nice Davidshalltorg square and surrounding streets. At Davidshallstorg you’ll find many vintage shops, coffee houses, and some alternative fashion stores. Where you definitely need to have a look is at Roy & Son – Classic Shaves And Modern Haircuts. I didn’t need a cut, but this barber shops looks so stunning I had to enter to take some pictures of this own designed store. The square has an easy vibe and was a nice surprise to me. Möllevångentorget. This place is the centre for going and eating out. You’ll find many restaurants and bars around the square. During my first stays in Malmö I focussed on the restaurants at the city centre itself, but I discovered there’s far more choice at Möllevångentorget when I walked onto the square the last time. Definitely a revisit for me! Möllevången is also the centre of Malmö’s multicultural neighbourhood. You’ll find multicultural groceries stores here too. Fashion. … and visit some of the interesting fashion stores selling Sweden’s noteworthy (minimalistic) fashion design. The Swedish fashion houses are located across the city centre. My favorites: I couldn’t resist to drop by at COS for some new items; Filipa K, Nudie Jeans, Aplace, many more. Cycling. As someone from Groningen I am very pleased to see cycling is also serious business in Malmö. Cycling is looking to be very safe in Malmö; cycling lanes, cyclist get their own space on the roads (also by car drivers), there are many bike shops and bike parking lots. I didn’t do it, but the city seems very suitable to discover by bike. For me that would one of the things to do in Malmö next time. So, if you have the opportunity to pay a visit to Malmö, you should. The city is Sweden and Sweden is nice. It’s high on the wish list! I even saw a vegan bar on your googlemaps pic. Like!!

Limiting Pagination to a certain number (range) of links. Instead of the way I have it currently set up, I basically need a way to limit the page link output to a range of page numbers that is displayed. And, I need the "prev" arrow to only display when needed (similar to how I have the "next" arrow working). I've also attached my page so you can see my other working version (without any limiting in place). That helped a ton! Thank you very much! That should set maxDisplayPage to be the lowest of those 2 values, so you should never go beyond the totalPages number. Thank you! That took care of the issue with too many pages being displayed. I've made a few more modifications and I now have one last question to get this exactly where it needs to be. Everything works perfectly, displaying a maximum of 5 page numbers (when needed). However, is there a way to set a minimum number of pages to display as well? This is because when you are within 5 pages of the total number of pages, displayed page numbers begin dropping out. So, for instance, if you have 22 pages, when on page 18, you see all 5 page numbers (18, 19, 20, 21, 22). However, when you move to page 19, you now only see 4 page numbers (19, 20, 21, 22). This continues until, on page 22, it only displays its own number. However, on all those 5 final pages, all five page numbers should be visible (18, 19, 20, 21, 22). Hello all! I just wanted to report back and let you know that I figured out how to achieve the desired effect. I'm also posting the code below in case anyone tries to do this in the future. Place in head section after loading viewer library (change information in red to match your CMSB configuration). For some reason, I found it necessary to duplicate this information below also. Place in body section, wherever you want to include pagination. Here's some code I'm using to achieve a similar effect. For mine, I always want to show the start and end numbers. I also have a prev/next links if they apply. Finally, you can control how many numbers show in the middle. Where you want the pagination code to be shown. Change the numbers in red to control how many additional numbers you see on either side of the current page. Ooooh... that's clean. Very nice! Thanks so much for sharing Kevin! P.S. In case anyone refers to this later, I made some improvements to my version. (Though Kevin's is much more concise and is definitely worth looking at.) But, in my newer version, I fixed a few bugs and I added the ability to automatically remove "..." when appropriate. The most important improvement was that I added the ability for pagination to work even when the list is being filtered by category, date, or tags (just ensure you change the field names as needed). This makes it much more versatile. Of course, if you're not using any of those filters, they are just ignored.

Now here’s an item of interest. I don’t make the claim that every piece of news rises to the level of a matter of national importance, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t get a kick out of hearing some of the odd things that happen across our nation. Let’s play a little word association game. I’m going to say a word, and you tell me the word that pops into your mind. Ready? The word is: “Shark.” Now take a minute to think, and tell me what your reaction was. Confused? Don’t worry—that’s perfectly normal. In fact, the more normal you are, the more you would quite naturally be confused. Two seemingly unrelated terms—“shark” and “shopping cart”—are here being dangled in a tantalizing but mysterious manner. Is there a method to this madness, or is it just a canard? I can see that you’re intrigued. We’re not here to play games, so let me reveal to you now the full picture of the events that form the basis of this little foray into psychological mystery. The time: last Friday. The place: the parking lot of a Walmart store in St. Augustine, Florida. So far, our story sounds quite normal, does it not? Every day, across America, the sun rises on thousands of Walmart parking lots. In and of itself this is unremarkable. Knowing that you have responsibilities, as we all do, I wouldn’t deign to waste your time with the simple fact of the existence of a Florida Walmart parking lot on a morning like any other. Setting: police headquarters. A phone rings. The operator answers. On the other end of the line is an assistant manager at Walmart with a surprising tale to tell. It seems that on that morning the Walmart parking lot was home to more than cars and other assorted vehicles. “What else was in the parking lot?” you might be asking yourself. I’ll tell you now the remarkable answer to that question—the very same answer that the Walmart assistant manager relayed to the police phone operator in what I imagine was a breathless, urgent tone. There was a shark in a shopping cart. The shark was deceased. Scientists have never found one that can survive for more than a few minutes outside of the water, and you can be sure that a Walmart parking lot is a dry area. Even if the parking lot itself were water (perhaps there was a flood?), the shark was sitting inside the basket of a full-sized shopping cart, elevated at least two feet off the ground. That shark didn’t have a chance. Need a minute to process this news? I’m not surprised. You’ve just been bombarded with—quite literally—a fish-out-of-water tale. It’s bound to cause some cognitive dissonance. Let’s review the elements of this mystery: 1) a shark; 2) in a shopping cart; 3) in a Walmart parking lot; 4) not in the water. It’s hard to tie the threads together. The human brain, conditioned by thousands of generations of evolution, will work overtime to devise a story to explain this situation. Where did the shark come from? How did he get there? Who captured him? Did he get into the shopping cart freely, or was he forced? Like you, I’d love a thorough exploration of each and every one of these questions. But the fact is that the Sheriff’s department deputy who found the shark in the Walmart parking lot did not perform an autopsy. He took no DNA evidence, fingerprints, or toxicology screens. In fact, we have no indication that any stakeouts were performed, background checks run, or undercover operations launched in an effort to uncover the truth. What we do know is that the shark was disposed of. He may have been born in the sea, but he met his end far, far away from the cresting blue waves—somewhere in a St. Augustine, Florida dumpster. So here we are. At this point I’m afraid there’s little more I can add to the story. I’ve brought you the facts. Now it’s your job to put on your thinking cap. Where are the answers? Are they in a Walmart parking lot? Are they at the bottom of the ocean? I hope that the act of learning about this situation and its attendant unanswered questions has inspired you to do what you can to seek out the answers. One day, it may be possible to tell this tale from start to finish, painting a picture detailed enough to render any further puzzlement moot. Unfortunately, we’re not there yet. For now, we are left to ponder the uncomfortable possibility that the real predator here was not a shark—but instead, a human being.

This is great news there is a new drugs for lung cancer treatment that is an experimental cancer drug from Roche that seems to work particularly well against lung cancer in smokers may and it be a “game changer” for these normally difficult-to-treat patients, researchers said on Sunday. Presenting detailed data from an early-stage trial of the drug, called MPDL3280A, in patients with a form of the disease called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), investigators said what they had found was “great news for lung cancer patients”. Of 53 patients with NSCLC tumours treated with the drug, 23 percent saw their tumours shrink, according to results presented at the European Cancer Congress (ECC) in Amsterdam. But the most encouraging numbers were among smokers, where the response rate was 26 percent compared with 10 percent of patients who had never smoked, said Professor Jean-Charles Soria of France’s Institut Gustave Roussy, who led the study. Lung cancer, which is usually caused by smoking, is extremely difficult to treat successfully and once it has started to spread to other parts of the body, it is incurable. Roche’s MPDL3280A is an engineered antibody that targets a protein called PD-L1 – a defence mechanism that tumours use to trick the immune system’s T-cells into being inactive. By blocking PD-L1, the drug allows the T-cells to wake up and recognize the cancer, and then grow and multiply to attack it more efficiently. Rival drugmakers including Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb are developing immunotherapy drugs in a similar class of drugs known as PD-1 inhibitors, also designed to mobilize the body’s own immune system to fight cancer. Soria’s team suspected that because lung tumours in smokers have a higher rate of genetic mutations than tumours of lung cancer patients who have never smoked, their immune systems may be more likely to respond vigorously when PD-L1 is blocked. So they drilled down into the data more closely, separating out the 81 percent of the 53 patients who were smokers or former smokers, and the 19 percent of them who were not. “And bingo, this is the first targeted agent (drug) that shows more activity in smokers than in non-smokers,” Soria told reporters in a briefing at the ECC. Cora Sternberg, co-chair of the ECC’s scientific committee and an oncologist at the San Camillo and Forlanini hospitals in Rome who was not involved in the study, said that although the results were from very early-stage trials, they suggested the drug was “definitely a game changer” in lung cancer. Roche is also investigating MPDL3280A’s potential for treating a range of other cancers, including melanoma skin cancer and kidney cancer, where it has already shown some promise in early trials. Cornelis van de Velde, an oncologist at Leiden University Medical Centre in the Netherlands and president of the European Cancer Organisation, said Soria’s was an extremely important study for NSCLC patients, who currently have very few treatment options that make much impact on their disease. Wow this is great finally moving forward, I really hope that this new drugs for lung cancer treatment will work for everybody and this new cancer cancer drug will be available for everybody sooner than Yesterday!

Currently available image-processing methods produce six different effects on image appearance. They define the ''window of clinically useful exposure data,'' they affect the degree of image blackness and image contrast, they equalize image blackness in different parts of the image, and they provide edge enhancement or provide blurring of noise in parts of the image. The steps described below have been written in a logical progression, but may or may not be actually carried out in this way or in this sequence. More detail on these methods is available [17,18,19]. Defining the "Window of Clinically Useful Exposure Data" Digital acquisition systems are designed to record data from a wide range of X-ray exposures in a relatively linear relationship of exposure to pixel value. This wide range of recorded exposure is desirable because it can correct for X-ray exposure errors and for patients with different body builds. If one used this ''raw'' data to create the images, they would be of very low contrast. By design, the width of the window of pixel values set for accepting this information is set very wide. The raw data that has been received by the imaging device contains both useful and nonuseful exposure data. Nonuseful data, for example, include the exposure that occurs from X-ray photons that passed through the area outside of the patient and areas outside of the collimated field. Because the imaging device received unimportant exposure data, the digital data will contain unimportant exposure data. To cope with this, the first step in image processing is to define what data is likely to represent the data encoded as the X-ray photons pass through the body. At least two different methods are involved in this analysis. One defines the edge of the collimated field and excludes the data outside of the collimated field from further analysis. Different companies use different proprietary methods for this purpose and these methods are moderately effective. The second method uses information from the exposure histogram. The exposure histogram is a map of the different intensity values of the picture elements (pixels) that form the image. The algorithm selects those pixel values from the exposure histogram that are likely to contain clinically relevant information. For this step, the computer uses a search algorithm that is seeking the region of the remaining data that looks like chest radiograph data; one can think of this as a search for the shape within the exposure histogram that matches the shape of a chest radiograph histogram. The data for different parts of the body are different. The algorithm has been set to look for the data patterns seen in different body parts and the different common variations that are seen for each body part. Once the algorithm identifies the appropriate shape, it then uses this to defines the upper and lower boundaries of exposure data to be included in the formation of the image. This subset of the original data is then used to direct the next steps in image processing. Poorly processed digital chest images usually result from problems occurring at these stages of the process. The most common causes are a failure to instruct the digital system as to the type of image to be processed or excessive scatter outside the edge of the collimated field. The digital system has to be told that the data set it is looking for is a chest radiograph. If it is told that a different part of the body is being imaged, it will look for data that looks like that body part and process the image data incorrectly. If there is a lot of scatter in the area outside the collimated field, it may not correctly define the edge of that field and may incorporate the scattered exposure into its defined exposure boundary. This is one of the reasons why it is important to avoid overexposure. On an overexposed image, the algorithm is more likely to include data that is due to scatter and is therefore not in the clinically relevant region of exposure. The method used by the system to define the ''clinically relevant data'' does not depend on the exposure used to obtain the original data set. In order to display the ''clinically relevant data'' as an image with proper display optical density or luminance, the system must correct for exposure differences. It does this by comparing the pixel values for the ''clinically relevant data'' to a stored expected range of pixel values. It then adjusts the ''clinically relevant data'' to lie within the range for proper display. The degree of adjustment is related to a number called ''S.'' If the extracted ''clinically relevant data'' is underexposed compared to the range of pixel values for display, the ''clinically relevant data'' will be adjusted so that it falls within the display range by amplifying each pixel value. If it is overexposed, then the computer program will decrease each pixel value. The Fuji system was designed so that an ''S'' value of 200 corresponds to the correct level for display of the image. The ''S'' value is not the speed of the system. The ''speed'' of an analog system is defined as the exposure level required for a specific degree of film optical density. In the digital systems, the optical density of the display is not determined by the exposure of the digital receptor. There is no way to equate the speed of a screen-film system to the proper exposure for a digital system. An ''S'' of 200 may have originally been based on the exposure required for a 200-speed screen-film system, but as the Fuji systems evolved, the imaging plates have become more sensitive to X-ray photons while the ''S'' number system has remained the same. The ''S'' number adjustment will usually place the image data set close to the range for proper display. There is, however, some variability in laser printers and in soft-copy display devices, so the system makes it possible to adjust the final optical density or luminance and then store this change so it can be used for subsequent radiographs. In the Fuji system, this factor is called the GS factor. In the process of selecting the ''clinically relevant data,'' the computer program selected the highest and lowest pixel values of this data. This constitutes an initial estimate of the contrast range for the final image. It does not define the shape of the contrast curve or the steepness of its midportion. The final adjustment is made by use of a conversion method called a look-up table. In this method, there is either a stored table or a stored formula that says for a data pixel value of ''x,'' use a value of "y" for the display. The companies recommend specific look-up tables for specific parts of the body. The radiologist can accept the companies' recommendations or choose different look-up tables. Once chosen, this selection can be stored in the computer memory so that the same look up table can be consistently chosen. In the Fuji system, this factor is called the GT factor. Once this overall look-up table has been selected, one can accept the company's default setting or one can adjust the slope of the midportion of the characteristic curve. This factor is called the GA factor in the Fuji system. The higher the GA, the steeper the slope of the midportion of the characteristic curve, and the less steep the bottom and top of the characteristic curve. Mathematically, all images can be transformed (using the Fourier transform) into groups of sine and cosine waves. The waves are of different frequencies and it is therefore possible to describe images as having different spatial frequencies. All images are composed of parts with different spatial frequencies. High spatial frequencies are seen in where there are sharp edges; lower spatial frequencies are seen where there are blurred or unsharp edges. Filtering methods exist to enhance or diminish the intensity of specific groups of spatial frequencies in an image. By enhancing high spatial frequencies in an image, sharp edges are enhanced and appear sharper, but since image noise is also of high spatial frequency, it is also enhanced. If high spatial frequencies are Altered from the image, then the edges of sharply defined objects and visible noise are decreased. Edge enhancement is an important part of the image processing of digital chest radiographs. The edges of all objects in standard chest radiographs are somewhat blurred because of the penumbra caused by the X-ray tube focal spot size and often by slight patient motion and cardiac pulsation. Slight edge enhancement restores these edges toward the appearance they would have in a specimen radiograph with a very small focal spot X-ray tube. It enhances the conspicuity of blood vessels, interstitial markings, surgical staples, and pneumothoraces (Fig. 8). This method also enhances the edges of catheters, making them easier to see. It is normally included as part of the recommendation for image-processing settings for film display. Some soft-copy display systems, however, do not provide the capabilities for edge enhancement and diagnostic accuracy in these systems may be less (20). Figure 8 Improved visibility of pneumothorax using edge enhancement in a patient status post surgery for recurrent spontaneous pneumothoraces. The surgical clips and the small residual pneumothorax are more conspicuous in (a) with mild edge enhancement than in (b) with no edge enhancement. blur and be more difficult to detect. For this reason, some programs apply the image blurring only to areas of relatively low pixel values (more transparent regions of the original image. The use of these noise concealing programs unfortunately also blurs the edges of high-frequency structures, such as catheters in the mediastinum (see Figs. 7d and 7f). The range of optical densities on a chest radiograph is quite wide. This is the result of the differing proportions of water, calcium, and air in the path of the X-ray photons in different parts of the image. Because of this wide range of densities, all chest images represent a compromise: To have the lungs at a proper display density, the mediastinum is too light. If one wants to see tubes in the esophagus behind the heart, then one can increase the exposure, but the lungs become too dark. Optical density equalization image processing is used to partially correct for these density differences. Current methods are moderately good, but in the future, newer methods will probably be better. The fundamental concept underlying methods for optical density equalization is that one can separate an image into components of different spatial frequencies. High spatial frequencies show the edges of objects, medium spatial frequencies demonstrate the shape of moderate sized structures, and low spatial frequencies tend to show broad effects across an image. It is the low-spatial-frequency information that is modified in optical density equalization. While different methods are used by different companies, in concept, if one takes the low-spatial-frequency image and changes areas that are black to white (and vice versa) and then partially adds it back into the original image, then larger areas of density differences will be decreased in their intensity and the whole image will show a lower range of optical densities. The resulting image will show a lower range of optical densities across the image allowing one to then enhance the contrast across the entire image. Enhancing the contrast results in smaller details being more conspicuous. This method is very helpful for enhancing interpretation of bedside chest radiographs. It has the disadvantage that large areas of lung consolidation or large pleural effusions will also be affected by the processing, making them less intensely white. Sometimes faint but larger areas of air space disease will be less conspicuous on these images. Also, the area over the liver sometimes looks more radiolu-cent and could appear similar to the radiolucency that can occur on supine films with free abdominal air. Figure 9 Energy subtraction used to confirm calcification in nodules. (a) A digital chest image with standard processing shows several small lung nodules. (b) The calcium emphasis image is shown and the small nodules can be seen to contain calcium. Figure 10 Energy subtraction used to enhance visibility of a central mass. A squa-mous-cell lung cancer involving the right upper hilum is seen. The energy subtraction processing has greatly decreased the visibility of the ribs and enhance the conspicuity of the mass. Figure 11 Energy subtraction used to enhance visibility of airways disease. Digital chest radiographs with (a) standard and (b) soft-tissue-emphasis energy-subtraction processing in a patient with mucus plugs and bronchiectasis from cystic fibrosis. The soft-tissue-emphasis image largely eliminates the conspicuity of the ribs. The lung disease is more conspicuous. or other absorber between them so that the energy spectra are different, or by taking two exposures one right after the other at different kilovolt peak settings. The images must then be closely matched so that the chest is exactly the same size and position. This is done by a process called warping, where one image is distorted (warped) to be the same size and shape as the other. Subsequently, the images are registered (matched in position) as closely as possible. They can then be processed through a complex series of steps that eventually yield the bone-emphasis and soft-tissue-emphasis images (Figs. 911). With the current commercial system, slight image blurring occurs in this process, so that the finest intersitial lines may be less conspicuous, but at the same time, areas of infiltrate and small masses become more conspicuous. It is likely that future developments both in acquisition devices and software will improve the quality of energy subtraction and increase its value. The AMBER system is a special type of digital chest radiographic system that scans the chest adjusting the intensity of the X-ray beam according to how much radiation has penetrated the chest. It continually adjusts the amount of exposure so that more radiation is applied where there is more absorption (as in the mediastinum) and less over the lungs. It produces very high quality images.

Prostitutes, longshoremen, and the homeless received the reconciliation message that all people are eligible for Christ’s amazing grace. He established the New York Gospel Tabernacle to bring likeminded people together into an organization that could facilitate outreach ministries. He set up the Missionary Training Institute (MTI) to provide training and resources for men and women God was calling to take the gospel to the world. During that time, Simpson’s group sent out the first team of missionaries to the Congo in 1884. Today, the C&MA focuses on planting churches in the United States and overseas. Alliance international workers minister among the least reached peoples planting churches and training national church leaders, providing relief and development assistance, medical and dental care, and microenterprise projects. More than 2,000 churches in the U.S. minister Christ’s love to their communities and cities. The C&MA grew out of the vision of Rev. A.B. Simpson, a Presbyterian pastor from Canada. Simpson believed that Christ was not only his Savior, but also his Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King through dramatic spiritual encounters that changed the direction of his life. Formed as a missionary society and not a denomination, early Alliance congregations were known as “branches” and were made up of members from most major denominations.

Yup. Korea is the new place to go. Free air fair, no rent, national health care, very low cost of living. Beats the hell out of working for a Private Dispatch company in Japan. Thats for sure. there are like 3,400 EPIK teachers which is only roughly 1000 less than JETs in Japan. With JET slightly on the decline in many places, i can see EPIK taking some qualified teachers away from JET. Kimchi and bibimbap come from Korea.

Billed as Australia’s largest fancy dress party, I imagine that it is inspired by, and tries to emulate “Burning Man” in Nevada’s Black Rock Dessert, and the punters certainly do embrace it!! From extravagant wings of eagles, butterflies, angels, devils, to trampy cross-dressing, to plain lingerie, to simple glitter cover; there was so much right, which was sadly outweighed by the wrong…. When I rocked up mid-Saturday afternoon, I ducked into “The Pool” arena to the sounds of The Owl serving the crowds some mellow housey disco beats and warming up for LNTG. Sadly for me LNTG didn’t pick up the pace enough, so I ventured over to “The Shack” in search of something more energetic. Cassette definitely served up what I was looking for and in no time my feet were dancing, much to the enjoyment of quite a few on-lookers. A couple of hours passed by as Dave Goode, Kerry Wallace and Andrew Wowk kept the tempo up with plenty of break-beaty, funky tunes. Next up it was off to “The River Stage” to catch CID Inc. for some proggy goodness, but I was still feeling a little restless, so I ducked back to “The Shack” for the ever energetic Roni Size (and my abs are still sore from that decision). Sasha was absolute magic!!!! Every track was pure bliss, and sounded like he was live remixing tracks of yesteryear but bringing them into the ever-present. Sunday was another mid-afternoon arrival, after doing some work at “Datsun Day” and a little off-road adventure en-route. I was in and out between “The Pool” and “The Shack” before finally settling in at “The River Stage” for Oona Dahl, Blond:Ish and Lee Burridge, who dropped an amazing remix of London Grammar‘s Hey Now early on to kick off an amazing set.

Now that Avengers: Infinity War has come out on home release, Marvel has been dropping all sorts of fun featurettes online. The first one is talking about why Thanos is one of the best villains that Marvel has made so far — mostly because everything exists to fight him. The Avengers exist because of Thanos. Next we get a more behind-the-scenes look at the villain, and it’s really amazing how all of the visual effects make this character look pretty realistic. They also praise Josh Brolin and his ability to bring this character to life via motion capture. Avengers: Infinity War, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, stars Robert Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Bettany, Chadwick Boseman, Benedict Wong, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle, Tom Holland, Bradley Cooper, and Anthony Mackie. The film released on August 14th on 4K Blu-ray, DVD, and digital.

Brookhaven Town has already chosen TRITEC Real Estate as the master developer for the project, and the Islip Town Board is expected to vote today to enter negotiations with TRITEC about Islip naming the firm as master developer for the project. The project includes property in both townships. County Legislator John Kennedy supported the funding, noting the need for revitalization of the Ronkonkoma railroad station. “The project will pave the way for significant new construction and will be paid for by property owners within the sewer district,” said Legislator Kennedy. It is expected that this project will create more than 1,000 direct construction jobs, more than 500 permanent jobs and almost 5,000 secondary jobs. The Legislature has included $21 million in funding in its 2013 capital budget to fund the creation of a sewer district to serve the project. In the initial proposed 2013 capital budget, there were allocations of $5 million in 2014 and $15 million in subsequent years to fund the sewer district. Hoping to speed the project’s progress, the Legislature decided to provide the funding in 2013. The funding does not add to the county’s debt; it will be repaid by the sewer district covering the project once it is created. Brookhaven Supervisor Mark Lesko said the funding for the sewer system is necessary before TRITEC can get approval for loans to buy the property. “I thank the Legislature and County Executive Bellone for their support for the Ronkonkoma Hub project, a partnership between the two largest townships in Suffolk County,” said Supervisor Lesko. “The Ronkonkoma Hub is the best opportunity to create economic growth and a transit-oriented development on the entire East Coast. The sewer bond is a vital, essential step in the process, which allows our Master Developer, TRITEC LLC, to move forward with the redevelopment." The Hub project received a $4 million grant for design from the Long Island Regional Development Council, which called it a “transformative project.” Its potential is maximized by its location adjacent to the busiest LIRR station, Ronkonkoma, with more than 17,000 riders, and McArthur Airport.
