Ataxia comes in a wide range of variation of forms and names. Gary Peterson had what is called Spinocerebellar Ataxia which affects 1 in 100,000 people in America. It is passed down by the mother and father who carry the mutation in their genes and then to the child. Spinocerebellar Ataxia also know as SCA Ataxia, typically develops later in life between the ages of 30-50, but can also develop much later in life, which is uncommon. SCA Ataxia is a disorder of the Central Nervous System and is characterized by a slow progression of incoordination in walk and movement. It is often associated with poor coordination of hands, speech, eye movements and a loss of fine coordination of muscle movements leading to unsteady and clumsy motion. And the real kick of all of this is that a person with ataxia retains full mental capacity but progressively loses physical control. You begin to stumble as you walk to the point that you need a cane and then move to a walker, which then leads to the need for a wheelchair, which ultimately puts you in an electric wheelchair making you completely dependent on others. There is no cure for this disease as of yet, but doctors and scientists are making breakthroughs in the ability to halt the onset of the disease. To continue making strides they need our help. Dealing with this disease can be the scariest, most frustrating, powerless experience - for both the diagnosed and the family. Families having to adjust to this physically and emotionally taxing experience are supported by the Ataxia foundation, both through education, emotional support, but also through the facilitation of obtaining wheelchairs. Your donations not only fund research, but aid in the support of families dealing with this monster experience. You can learn more about all the types of Ataxia through the National Ataxia Foundation as well make a donation to the foundation. We'll be in touch with you as soon as possible.

Have you recently noticed that your teeth are appearing longer than before? Do you feel as if you've developed a "toothy" smile or are the roots of your teeth exposed? If you are experiencing any of the above signs, they may be an indication that your gums are receding. Gum recession is a common occurrence and can be easily caused by overly aggressive tooth brushing, tooth grinding, and periodontal disease. Common side effects of gum recession include sensitivity to hot or cold liquids. It's important to understand that gum recession is a serious problem that you don't want to ignore. Dr. Roya Mirkhan will help you determine the causes of your gum recession and will provide you with treatment options to get the problem under control. Gum grafting is an excellent treatment option that can reverse the damage and stop further recession that can ultimately lead to tooth loss. Receding gums can cause your tooth roots to be exposed, which lead to a number of oral health problems. Elongated teeth and receding gums are not attractive, and you will want to fix the problem for both cosmetic and oral health reasons. Dr. Roya Mirkhan can use collagen gum grafting to cover one or several exposed roots, and to even out your gum line for a more esthetic appearance, and to reduce sensitivity. Traditionally, surgery for receding gums can be painful because tissue from the roof of the mouth is removed and transplanted to replace lost gum tissue. But, Dr. Roya Mirkhan can use another effective, yet less invasive alternative. We simply use a collagen matrix to cover exposed roots and restore the form and function of your gums. Collagen gum grafting is an attractive alternative to patients because there is no need to cut open the roof of the mouth in this procedure. If you have receding gums or if your gums have been ravaged by the effects of gum disease, we invite you to contact Advanced Dentistry & Implant Center to discuss collagen gum grafting. This procedure can be done on single teeth or multiple teeth in the comfort of our office. Our patients appreciate our approach to periodontal care because we strive to make it as non-invasive as possible. If you are a candidate for gum grafting, we look forward to explaining your options and creating a treatment plan that will deliver exceptional esthetic results. Call today.

A couple months ago Matt and I went to a cookout only to discover the best idea ever! Okay, maybe not that exciting, but pretty darn cool. Bruschetta using eggplant instead of French bread. Brilliant right?! The best part, these little babies are oven baked which entirely increases their appeal. So, a couple of steps, but definitely worth it! Combine tomatoes, garlic, onion, basil, Italian balsamic dressing into a bowl. Stir and let it get happy. Italian bread crumbs, parm cheese, oregano and cracked pepper! Remember the eggplant already has salt! Promise, you won’t miss adding more. Line up the assembly and start coating! Egg first, get it in there – don’t be shy. Then the dry is up next, only a light coating – a lot of extra will burn in the oven. Plop onto the cookie sheet and keep on movin’! By the time you clean up, these beauts are done! I’m telling you, the bread won’t even be a thought. We scarfed these down. So. Good. 1. Throw all ingredients into a bowl. Stir. Taste. Adjust as necessary. Let it hang out. 2. Coat slices one by one in egg mixture, shake off excess. 3. Coat slices in dry mixture, shake of excess, place on baking sheet. 4. Repeat until every slice is coated. 5. Bake in 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. 6. Once eggplant is baked, spoon on top. Great idea! They look very good. Ab, my mom – who really knew a thing or two about eggplant parm – would never have used flour. I guess I would just save that step since it did not seem to make any difference to you. This is so up my alley! LOVE eggplant any way you can prep it. Love this idea. A bit quicker than layering into an eggplant parm casserole. Great idea for bringing to a party, also. I think I added just a little too much onion as they were a little ‘spicy’, so I’ll play around with that next time. I NEVER maKe eggplant, but will def make these again. Easy and delicious! Thanks for the newest addition to my recipe binder, Courtney and Mr. Matt. Wooooo!!! So glad everyone liked them! I tend to put too much onion in everything I make 🙂 I hardly ever make it either, more so because I don’t know what to do with it. This recipe is by far my fav! aren’t too many recipes around…will try these soon…thanx! Mom/Grandma, we need to try this recipe this weekend. YUM. Yeah! So FYI on the ingredients…they are exact, I really just eyeballed it. I would pull way back on the onion for Dad. Let me know how it goes!

Abbotsford – After spending their high school careers on opposite sides of one of Abbotsford’s hottest high school basketball rivalries, Riley Braich and Jordyn Sekhon are joining forces this fall with the University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball program. UFV head coach Adam Friesen has secured commitments from Braich, a sharpshooting point guard out of Yale Secondary, and Sekhon, a high-scoring wing from W.J. Mouat Secondary. Both are finishing up their Grade 12 years. The two players have known each other since elementary school, and grew up playing together at local camps and on club teams. “Jordyn is one of my best friends, and that’s a big reason why we both chose to come to UFV,” Braich explained. Braich and Sekhon bring the Cascades’ 2016 recruiting class to five, joining a trio of previously announced signees: Andrew Morris, Daniel Adediran and Sagar Dulay. Braich had an incredible high school career with the Yale Lions. In 2014-15, his Grade 11 year, he helped his team capture the Fraser Valley and B.C. 4A high school championships. Braich was a first team all-star at both tournaments, and averaged 29.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game at provincials. As a senior, Braich led the Lions back to the B.C.’s, and while the team’s drive for a second straight title fell short, he averaged 35 points, seven rebounds and five assists per game for the season. He also earned all-star honours at five tournaments, including the Fraser Valleys. Braich is an outstanding shooter known for huge scoring outbursts. During his Grade 11 year, he racked up 63 points against the Sardis Falcons, breaking the Lions’ team record of 61, previously established by Adam Friesen. This season, he scored 58 points against Lord Tweedsmuir, and had 51 points against St. George’s at provincials – the fifth-highest single-game output in tournament history. “He’s arguably the hardest-working basketball player in the province,” Friesen said. “When you add someone with that type of work ethic, you’re excited as a coach. We’re happy to have him as part of our program. Braich is already very familiar with the rims at the Envision Athletic Centre – he’s spent a lot of time training with Friesen at UFV over the years. Sekhon is coming off a spectacular senior season which saw him lead the W.J. Mouat Hawks to a fourth-place finish at the B.C. 4A provincial championship and a bronze medal at the Fraser Valleys. The rangy 6’5” wing was a first team all-star at both tournaments, and averaged 24.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game at provincials while shooting 46 per cent from the field at 37 per cent from beyond the arc. Like Braich, Sekhon is capable of scoring in bunches. He had three outings of 40-plus points this season, highlighted by a 44-point explosion against Holy Cross in the Fraser Valley bronze medal game which saw him score 35 points in the second half alone. “He’s a really talented kid,” Friesen said of Sekhon. “He had a tremendous Grade 12 season, and would probably be considered a late bloomer. We think he’s only started to show what he’s capable of. For Sekhon, the opportunity to accomplish something special in his hometown was a big part of his decision to join the Cascades. “Growing up here, I came to watch Cascades games, and you always dream of playing in your hometown,” said Sekhon, who will study engineering at UFV. “And then I heard Riley was thinking of coming here, and I’ve always wanted to play with him. That was another big thing for me. Be the first to comment on "UFV Cascades Hoops Sign Abby Standouts"

The technological advancement especially the social media affects not only our daily social interaction but more so on the way we relate to others. One of the most affected is the romance in teenagers. Teen romance is part of growing up. But the process differed from the type of intimate relationships decades ago. Teenagers’ relationships are heavily influenced by the social media and the technology. Digital technology shapes how teenagers develop their relationships. The flirting and breaking up have dramatically changed in this era. One survey suggests the different faces of teen romance in the digital age. The study was conducted by the Pew Research Center Survey which involved the teenagers’ ages thirteen to seventeen. The study suggests that Facebook is the most common medium for online communication among teenagers. This platform also instrumental in finding romantic partners online. However, only the 8% of the teens claimed to have met their partners online. The larger number prefer to meet their partner in person. Flirting does not only happen in a face to face encounter but also in the online world. In fact, fifty percent of the teens found people whom they have a romantic interest in. the forty-seven percent were able to express their liking towards others through social media commenting and other forms of digital communication. But fifty-five percent preferred the traditional way of communicating with their romantic interests. Social media is an instrument that allows the teenagers to show their intimate interest to their crush online. This practice includes sending flirtatious messages or small favor to someone that a teenager has a crush on. The majority of the teenagers considered texting as the most convenient way of communicating with their partners. The survey reveals that seventy-two percent of the teenagers text their partners on a daily basis. The thirty-nine percent of the teenagers communicate with their partner through the telephone. While video chatting is the least communication strategy being used by teenagers. Most teenagers feel that by the use of digital technology they become closer to their partner. The social media allows them to connect with their romantic partner instantly. The 59% of the adolescents feel this way. Although many teenage romantic relationships start with social media, teenagers don’t like ending their relationship via text or online messaging. Most prefer in-person breakup. As a result, only 27% of the teenagers end their relationship through text. Almost half of the adolescents automatically delete their ex-partner’s contact information from their phone right after the breakup. While 38% of the adolescents would have deleted their photos and other personal information from their phone and social media account. The females are more likely to delete their photos than males. But the thirty percent would block their ex-partner. These are just some of the teenage relationships facts that caused by the digital age. The social media is one of the factors that shape the way people communicate with each other.

Is supporting a diverse customer contact operation requiring more capital, effort and resources than it needs to? Are contact center costs spiraling out of control with no end in sight as mergers and acquisitions grow? Customer sales and service contact centers have long been recognized as key enablers to an enterprise’s customer retention and revenue growth strategies. In many growth organizations, new contact centers have sprung up for each line of business, operational function or new venture. Often new centers are established with little thought as to their fit and function within the enterprise or without consideration of possible redundancies which may have been eliminated or economies of scale which might have been achieved through integrated planning. The unfortunate result for many companies has been wasted resources and dollars and replicated facilities and technology platforms. Contact Center 411’s Consolidation service offering is a disciplined, systematic approach that allows clients to realize significant operating cost savings in their enterprise contact centers. Typical savings realized in a consolidation program, whether physical or virtual, can range from 10 to 20 percent of a client’s total customer service operating budget. Facilities: locations, capacity and cost/sq. ft. The core of the service offering is the Consolidation Opportunity Assessment (COA) where we identify and measure the financial and operating performance levels of clients’ multiple centers versus financial operating benchmarks (e.g. burdened salary per agent, lease rate per square foot, etc.). This assessment yields an objective baseline of clients’ current operating environments and allows us to develop action plans that target personnel resources, potential technology enhancements, and facilities-related issues. We incorporate the financial impacts of these action plans into a consolidation business case that provides the foundation for future initiatives, allowing the client to realistically forecast the financial benefits of the consolidation as well as systematically track and measure the success, in terms of key financial and other metrics, of each initiative associated with the consolidation. It is important to be specific regarding the difference between operating savings and operational savings. The COA and resulting business case focus on operating costs related to the amount a client is spending for personnel, technology, and facilities. During the assessment, we identify opportunities for savings that can be achieved through a thorough analysis of a client’s contact center locations (Wage arbitrage), physical environment (Real Estate Costs) and pooled resources. These savings, when incorporated with incremental process and productivity operational improvements enabled by standardization and consolidation, establish a powerful business case with significant bottom line impact. In addition, during the initial phases of the COA, we are generally able to identify short-term operational improvements (“low hanging fruit”) that allow clients to realize operational cost savings immediately. The savings inherent in implementing these “quick-win” opportunities allow clients to offset the investment in the implementation of the full consolidation recommendations defined in the full scale Consolidation Business Case. Following are our primary areas of focus, including the percentage of cost savings we anticipate deriving in each area and some of the specific areas where the cost savings may be achieved. The range of savings is, of course, proportional to the scope of the contact center operations: The larger the organization, the more locations and the greater the number of agents; the greater percentage of savings that can be anticipated. After all, resource costs represent between 60% and 70% of a typical contact center operations budget. Our team consists of experts with years of real world and consulting experience as well as a proven track record of consolidation successes. We can help provide the roadmap and laser focus on the economies of scale that a physical or virtual consolidation of contact center operations can deliver for you.

Laser technology reveals secrets of ancient civilization to IC archaeology professor. LiDAR technology can be used to uncover structures beneath plant growth in the jungle. The steamy jungles of northern Guatemala don’t reveal secrets easily. For centuries, the overgrown landscape has protected most of the remains of the Maya who once tamed it—yielding slowly to modern scientists seeking to learn more about the ancient civilization known for its sophisticated hieroglyphic script, art, architecture and mathematics. Garrison helped orchestrate the 2016 aerial survey these revelations stem from. The findings and the technology behind them — LiDAR (light detection and ranging) — will be the focus of a new National Geographic documentary to premiere on Feb. 6 at 9 p.m. EST titled “Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake King.” The documentary will follow a NatGeo explorer as he treks deep in the jungle to seek out a pyramid detected in the survey. A comparison of LiDAR data showing the ancient Maya site of El Zotz covered in trees (left), and with the trees digitally removed. Thomas Garrison jots field notes in the jungles of Guatemala.

Home · Education Law News · How Do I Get Rid of a Special Needs Trust? Almost every state’s probate code includes a right to terminate a trust for a variety of reasons. Some reasons may be if the original intent behind setting up the trust no longer applies or if there has been a change in circumstances. Even if your state does not have specific laws, probate courts are courts of equity (meaning that they decide cases based on fairness rather than based on law) and you may be able to argue that a special needs trust is no longer needed. However, this does not mean that a trust should be terminated. If the trust is a first-party special needs trust and your son or daughter used Medi-Cal, then terminating the trust could trigger a payback to the state’s agency for all Medi-Cal benefits paid for your child. In addition, if your child receives a large sum of money without any restrictions at the age of 18, the money will probably not be spent well. Keeping assets in a trust may allow your young child time to mature and learn money managing skills. The trust would keep the assets secure and the money may be used at a later time. You don’t want to wait to plan for your special needs child’s future. Contact your special needs planning attorney at (888) 597-9685 TODAY.

"Kepler" redirects here. For the European cargo spacecraft, see Johannes Kepler ATV. For the space observatory, see Kepler space telescope. For other uses, see Kepler (disambiguation). Johannes Kepler (/ˈkɛplər/; German: [joˈhanəs ˈkɛplɐ, -nɛs -]; December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630) was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer. He is a key figure in the 17th-century scientific revolution, best known for his laws of planetary motion, and his books Astronomia nova, Harmonices Mundi, and Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae. These works also provided one of the foundations for Newton's theory of universal gravitation. Kepler was a mathematics teacher at a seminary school in Graz, where he became an associate of Prince Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg. Later he became an assistant to the astronomer Tycho Brahe in Prague, and eventually the imperial mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II and his two successors Matthias and Ferdinand II. He also taught mathematics in Linz, and was an adviser to General Wallenstein. Additionally, he did fundamental work in the field of optics, invented an improved version of the refracting (or Keplerian) telescope, and was mentioned in the telescopic discoveries of his contemporary Galileo Galilei. He was a corresponding member of the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome. As a child, Kepler witnessed the Great Comet of 1577, which attracted the attention of astronomers across Europe. Kepler's first major astronomical work, Mysterium Cosmographicum (The Cosmographic Mystery, 1596), was the first published defense of the Copernican system. Kepler claimed to have had an epiphany on July 19, 1595, while teaching in Graz, demonstrating the periodic conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the zodiac: he realized that regular polygons bound one inscribed and one circumscribed circle at definite ratios, which, he reasoned, might be the geometrical basis of the universe. After failing to find a unique arrangement of polygons that fit known astronomical observations (even with extra planets added to the system), Kepler began experimenting with 3-dimensional polyhedra. He found that each of the five Platonic solids could be inscribed and circumscribed by spherical orbs; nesting these solids, each encased in a sphere, within one another would produce six layers, corresponding to the six known planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. By ordering the solids selectively—octahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron, tetrahedron, cube—Kepler found that the spheres could be placed at intervals corresponding to the relative sizes of each planet's path, assuming the planets circle the Sun. Kepler also found a formula relating the size of each planet's orb to the length of its orbital period: from inner to outer planets, the ratio of increase in orbital period is twice the difference in orb radius. However, Kepler later rejected this formula, because it was not precise enough. In terms of the impact of Mysterium, it can be seen as an important first step in modernizing the theory proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in his "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium". Whilst Copernicus sought to advance a heliocentric system in this book, he resorted to Ptolemaic devices (viz., epicycles and eccentric circles) in order to explain the change in planets' orbital speed, and also continued to use as a point of reference the center of the Earth's orbit rather than that of the Sun "as an aid to calculation and in order not to confuse the reader by diverging too much from Ptolemy." Modern astronomy owes much to Mysterium Cosmographicum, despite flaws in its main thesis, "since it represents the first step in cleansing the Copernican system of the remnants of the Ptolemaic theory still clinging to it." In Kepler's religious view of the cosmos, the Sun (a symbol of God the Father) was the source of motive force in the Solar System. As a physical basis, Kepler drew by analogy on William Gilbert's theory of the magnetic soul of the Earth from De Magnete (1600) and on his own work on optics. Kepler supposed that the motive power (or motive species) radiated by the Sun weakens with distance, causing faster or slower motion as planets move closer or farther from it.[a] Perhaps this assumption entailed a mathematical relationship that would restore astronomical order. Based on measurements of the aphelion and perihelion of the Earth and Mars, he created a formula in which a planet's rate of motion is inversely proportional to its distance from the Sun. Verifying this relationship throughout the orbital cycle, however, required very extensive calculation; to simplify this task, by late 1602 Kepler reformulated the proportion in terms of geometry: planets sweep out equal areas in equal times—Kepler's second law of planetary motion. In Linz, Kepler's primary responsibilities (beyond completing the Rudolphine Tables) were teaching at the district school and providing astrological and astronomical services. In his first years there, he enjoyed financial security and religious freedom relative to his life in Prague—though he was excluded from Eucharist by his Lutheran church over his theological scruples. It was also during his time in Linz that Kepler had to deal with the accusation and ultimate verdict of witchcraft against his mother Katharina in the Protestant town of Leonberg. That blow, happening only a few years after Kepler's excommunication, is not seen as a coincidence but as a symptom of the full-fledged assault waged by the Lutherans against Kepler. Since completing the Astronomia nova, Kepler had intended to compose an astronomy textbook. In 1615, he completed the first of three volumes of Epitome astronomiae Copernicanae (Epitome of Copernican Astronomy); the first volume (books I–III) was printed in 1617, the second (book IV) in 1620, and the third (books V–VII) in 1621. Despite the title, which referred simply to heliocentrism, Kepler's textbook culminated in his own ellipse-based system. The Epitome became Kepler's most influential work. It contained all three laws of planetary motion and attempted to explain heavenly motions through physical causes. Though it explicitly extended the first two laws of planetary motion (applied to Mars in Astronomia nova) to all the planets as well as the Moon and the Medicean satellites of Jupiter,[b] it did not explain how elliptical orbits could be derived from observational data. Kepler was convinced "that the geometrical things have provided the Creator with the model for decorating the whole world". In Harmony, he attempted to explain the proportions of the natural world—particularly the astronomical and astrological aspects—in terms of music.[c] The central set of "harmonies" was the musica universalis or "music of the spheres", which had been studied by Pythagoras, Ptolemy and many others before Kepler; in fact, soon after publishing Harmonices Mundi, Kepler was embroiled in a priority dispute with Robert Fludd, who had recently published his own harmonic theory. In 1623, Kepler at last completed the Rudolphine Tables, which at the time was considered his major work. However, due to the publishing requirements of the emperor and negotiations with Tycho Brahe's heir, it would not be printed until 1627. In the meantime, religious tension – the root of the ongoing Thirty Years' War – once again put Kepler and his family in jeopardy. In 1625, agents of the Catholic Counter-Reformation placed most of Kepler's library under seal, and in 1626 the city of Linz was besieged. Kepler moved to Ulm, where he arranged for the printing of the Tables at his own expense. Epitome of Copernican Astronomy was read by astronomers throughout Europe, and following Kepler's death, it was the main vehicle for spreading Kepler's ideas. In the period 1630 – 1650, this book was the most widely used astronomy textbook, winning many converts to ellipse-based astronomy. However, few adopted his ideas on the physical basis for celestial motions. In the late 17th century, a number of physical astronomy theories drawing from Kepler's work—notably those of Giovanni Alfonso Borelli and Robert Hooke—began to incorporate attractive forces (though not the quasi-spiritual motive species postulated by Kepler) and the Cartesian concept of inertia. This culminated in Isaac Newton's Principia Mathematica (1687), in which Newton derived Kepler's laws of planetary motion from a force-based theory of universal gravitation. In astronomy: The lunar crater Kepler (Keplerus, named by Giovanni Riccioli, 1651), the asteroid 1134 Kepler (1929), Kepler (crater on Mars) (1973), Kepler Launch Site for model rockets (2001), the Kepler space telescope, a space photometer launched by NASA in 2009, Johannes Kepler ATV (Automated Transfer Vehicle launched to resupply the ISS in 2011). ^ "Kepler's decision to base his causal explanation of planetary motion on a distance-velocity law, rather than on uniform circular motions of compounded spheres, marks a major shift from ancient to modern conceptions of science ... [Kepler] had begun with physical principles and had then derived a trajectory from it, rather than simply constructing new models. In other words, even before discovering the area law, Kepler had abandoned uniform circular motion as a physical principle." (4) However, the credibility of this [argument] is proved by the comparison of the four [moons] of Jupiter and Jupiter with the six planets and the Sun. Because, regarding the body of Jupiter, whether it turns around its axis, we don't have proofs for what suffices for us [regarding the rotation of ] the body of the Earth and especially of the Sun, certainly [as reason proves to us]: but reason attests that, just as it is clearly [true] among the six planets around the Sun, so also it is among the four [moons] of Jupiter, because around the body of Jupiter any [satellite] that can go farther from it orbits slower, and even that [orbit's period] is not in the same proportion, but greater [than the distance from Jupiter]; that is, 3/2 (sescupla ) of the proportion of each of the distances from Jupiter, which is clearly the very [proportion] as [is used for] the six planets above. In his [book] The World of Jupiter [Mundus Jovialis, 1614], [Simon] Mayr [1573–1624] presents these distances, from Jupiter, of the four [moons] of Jupiter: 3, 5, 8, 13 (or 14 [according to] Galileo) ... Mayr presents their time periods: 1 day 18 1/2 hours, 3 days 13 1/3 hours, 7 days 3 hours, 16 days 18 hours: for all [of these data] the proportion is greater than double, thus greater than [the proportion] of the distances 3, 5, 8, 13 or 14, although less than [the proportion] of the squares, which double the proportions of the distances, namely 9, 25, 64, 169 or 196, just as [a power of] 3/2 is also greater than 1 but less than 2. ^ The opening of the movie Mars et Avril by Martin Villeneuve is based on German astronomer Johannes Kepler's cosmological model from the 17th century, Harmonices Mundi, in which the harmony of the universe is determined by the motion of celestial bodies. Benoît Charest also composed the score according to this theory. ^ "Kepler".

Upload speeds to cloud providers appear to be throttled? I have up to a 20mb/s upload speed, but my experience is getting nowhere near this. I also use OneDrive and Dropbox, and both of these seem to max out around 2.6mb/s from an ethernet connected PC (wireless laptop results are the same). If the poor performance was with one provider, it might point towards an issue with them (or their location in the world), but for the same problem to exist across all these providers it points to an issue closer to home. Speedtests are fine and get up to the 20mb/s figure every time, so what's going on? I recently upgraded to secure the higher upload speed, so gutted that it is not performing at the moment. Re: Upload speeds to cloud providers appear to be throttled? For clarification, is it Mbps or MBps ? 2.6MB is 20.8Mbps so it's quite possible that you're getting full speed. As said above Mb and MB are different measurements, internet speeds are commonly measured in Mb (Megabits) but some apps display speeds in MB (Megabytes). thanks for the responses. The traffic monitor is showing 2.6MB/s, so looks ok, which is always good to hear. Glad they made the terms so easy to distinguish (not)! It's a very common mistake and often causes confusion on here. I've used Idrive for years - it's very good and I also use remotepc which is also their product - both are £100 a year but so so worth it for daily use.

Yesterday, a box arrived at my house. I knew it was coming. I had tracked it on the UPS site, watching it inch closer. When I got home, it was sitting there waiting for me. That box sat on the braided rug in my house, and for a moment, I was afraid to open it. I have worked for so long on this book, and the idea of actually holding it in my hands suddenly seemed scary. Slowly I opened the box, and looked under the packing. Seeing it in full color, print copies took my breath away. They are so beautiful, and I am so proud and yet the grief is still so strong. With slightly trembling hands, I picked up a copy and held it in my hands for the first time. Tonight, I will go through a copy carefully, making sure there are no printing issues. Once that is done, I will be able to order my copies so I can post them for sale on this site, and also have them for book events. The thrill of holding a book I have written and has been published still hasn’t worn off. In less than a year, I have held four of them after they were published. But this one? This one carries an emotional weight that is hard to describe. After I posted on Facebook that it had arrived, one of Sam’s friends posted that he (Sam) would have crowed in glee and pride that his mom had written a book — and that made me smile, and I can hear him boasting in my mind. This is incredibly touching. Reading your journey has been amazing.

Yet today, telcos are moving to the cloud in a big way. Startup telecom companies are launching using the cloud for nearly all their needs, and existing telcos, even the biggest, are using the cloud to help them expand into new cities—and countries. That’s why global telecommunications companies are using cloud software from PortaOne , which has more than 450 customers in 90 countries. For telcos, these are mission-critical applications that PortaOne is delivering via a cloud option. One, the billing and operational support system, or B/OSS, runs all of a telco’s account management, billing, and service provisioning into network elements and API for integration with third-party software such as customer relationship management (CRM) systems. The other, a softswitch, actually connects phone calls or messages from one customer to another across disparate networks. PortaOne’s cloud-based version of these apps runs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for much of its functionality. Starting about 18 years as a spinout from Norway’s Telenor , PortaOne was launched to create an easy-to-implement system for telecommunication operators. Until that point, operators had to buy a commercial “black box” system that offered the telco only limited customization, or develop their own system, Zhylenko says. When PortaOne began, the cloud wasn’t a thing, and its telecommunications customers ran the PortaSwitch software in their own data centers. This limited their agility to enter new markets and add new services. PortaOne now has customers using its software through an on-premises model, a cloud-based model where each customer gets its own set of dedicated computing resources and isolated network, and a hybrid model, in which a company’s main site is on-premises and its newer, additional sites run in Oracle's cloud. In addition to increased agility, the additional sites in the cloud offer telcos another big benefit: smooth, gradual updates. When a new software version becomes available, PortaOne doesn’t need to roll out an upgrade of the whole system at once, “something that fills every COO with dread,” says Zhylenko. Instead, PortaOne can launch an additional installation—running a new release—in the cloud, and then migrate subscribers in batches, starting with a small set of pilot customers. This process is seamless to the telcos, and after every batch, each operator has enough time to observe its own customers and address any issues detected. With this approach, says Zhylenko, operator risk is drastically reduced and the telcos can launch new services much faster and with more confidence. For example, when it comes to rolling 5G out wireless, PortaOne can ensure that only those customers willing to upgrade will be migrated in the first wave of operators.

Manufacturers have long understood the relationship between perfect part dimensions and performance. Many measurement tools of yesteryear – calipers and various gauges – are still in use today. But perhaps the most important development to date is the coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Our CMM is among several precision measurement devices deployed in the environmentally controlled Measurement Center at HellermannTyton. It is the industry standard metrology package, running the world’s most popular and sophisticated metrology software, PC-DMIS CAD++. While some of our products – cable ties, for example – may look like the ones available from anywhere else, validating them with precision measurement tools suggests significant differences. HellermannTyton insists on the most accurate 3D inspection technologies because that’s who we are. We don’t wait for you to ask for it; you partner with us because this is a regular part of our product development process. A CMM scans parts, including those with complex geometries, for ultimate precision and manufacturing data. It rivals the capabilities of standard instruments. More than extremely accurate, our CMM offers us increased productivity to accelerate product development and quickly solve problems. Located just outside our production environment, the Measurement Center allows us to conveniently and rapidly process a part, ensuring it is within your tolerances and avoiding time-consuming rework. We also use this technology to certify (and recertify) our tooling, compare parts to a CAD model and perform many other tests that ultimately contribute to quality assurance. And that kind of confidence, whether the part is one of a million cable ties or an extremely complex assembly, is one way we look at product development. A good reason to trust HellermannTyton.

As their ballot victories stack up, Myanmar's newly-elected opposition activists are relishing the prospect of forming a government, even though the military will continue to control key levers of power. The National League for Democracy, led by veteran campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi, looks set to record a landslide in a nation still emerging from decades of brutal junta rule. But the NLD's ageing main players have long-been viewed as an Achilles heel with Suu Kyi herself now 70 and no indication of who will be put forward for the position of president, from which she is barred. Some have questioned how prepared the NLD -- contesting a general election for the first time in 25 years -- actually is to rule after years in opposition to a junta. However, Thet Thet Khine -- one of the few women candidates who stood, and won, in Sunday's historic polls -- is confident the NLD under Suu Kyi's mantle will build the "right system" for Myanmar. At 48, Thet Thet Khine is something of a party young blood. "We have a very diverse group of candidates," the businesswoman told AFP at her villa in Yangon, adding that doctors, NGO workers and engineers are among those representing the NLD. Like so many of the other party faithful, Thet Thet Khine's political journey shares some parallels with Suu Kyi's. She was politicised during the same quashed 1988 pro-democracy protests which propelled Suu Kyi into the limelight. It is this lengthy and patient opposition experience, she says, which the party will draw on in government. Under an army-crafted 2008 constitution the military retain a quarter of seats in parliament, a voting bloc that gives them an effective veto on changing that controversial document. The army will also keep control of the three top ministries -- home, defence and border affairs -- and with it swathes of the country's bureaucracy and security apparatus including the police. Nonetheless analysts say an NLD government could still have a tangible impact on daily life. There should be "early wins" in long-neglected areas such as health and education, Nicholas Farrelly from the Australian National University, told AFP. But "the real challenge will be getting them organised in a way that helps meet long-term priorities", he added. The Nobel Laureate is barred from the top job under a constitutional provision because her two sons are British, as was her late husband. In interviews prior to the election she has vowed to be "above the president". When pushed on how that might work she has remained cryptic saying: "I have a plan. We'll find one (a president). But that won't stop me from making all the decisions as the leader of the winning party." The NLD has won over 85 percent of seats declared by Wednesday evening but concerns remained after its last landslide victory in 1990 saw the then-junta ignore the results and go on to plunge Myanmar into further decades of isolation. The army-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) has been taking a drubbing. Local media reported that a popular poet had even managed to oust a former defence minister in the military's stronghold, the capital of Naypyidaw. In a sign of its edging victory, Suu Kyi on Wednesday called for "national reconciliation" talks with Myanmar's president and the nation's powerful army chief as the ruling government, backed by the military, vowed to respect the result. Myanmar is gripped by the anticipation of change. Nyantha Maw Lin, managing director at advisory firm Vriens and Partners Myanmar, said any handover depended on "ensuring that there's continuity". "There will be a period of learning I think for any of the new political appointee stepping in," he said.

The Cannes Film Festival is all about the spectacle, and Alec Baldwin took a cue from the fest's unwritten playbook by putting on quite a spectacular show on Tuesday. The actor hit the French Riviera to promote James Toback's documentary "Seduced and Abandoned" with his pregnant wife, Hilaria, in tow. Pausing for an afternoon photocall, the oft-volatile Baldwin seemed to be in stellar spirits, sweeping his other half off her feet and putting on a PDA-heavy show, much to the delight of the crush of photographers on the Croisette.

Phuket International Hospital has developed over the last few years to be recognized as one of the centres of excellence for cosmetic surgery in all of Asia. PIH boasts some of the most well-recognized surgeons not just in Thailand, but in all of Asia. Head surgeon, Dr. Sanguan, is the Chair person for The International Society of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS) for all of Thailand. ISAPS is the largest worldwide organization governing cosmetic and plastic surgeons. PIH surgeons have international and national board accreditations, speak fluent English, and have a wealth of experience in dealing with international patients. Phuket International cosmetic surgeons will offer a free online consultation, which can be obtained by contacting Lotus Medical. The doctors offer detailed recommendations prior to commitment and will outline a detailed treatment plan, final costs, and recommend a length of stay in Phuket. If you stay for the recommended length of stay, the PIH will offer a Hospital Guarantee. This means that if there is a problem that is the fault of the surgeon or the hospital, PIH will fix this at no extra cost to the patient and will also, possibly, pay towards travel costs. While we have never had a client that needed to use this hospital guarantee, surgery is not 100% fool proof and is a nice safety net to have. Your well-being is our highest priority.

In my earlier two blogs I looked at the increasing opportunity for vertical database technology and why telco databases present unique challenges. In this final blog in the series, I want to talk about the database we’ve built at MATRIXX to sit at the heart of our Digital Commerce Platform and why we did it. MATRIXX wasn’t founded with building a new database technology in the plan – our original goal was to engineer a next generation charging platform that could could cater to the explosion in digital services and rich mobile experiences that followed the huge success of the iPhone. But when you start digging into where the bottlenecks are within traditional rating and charging applications, the process quickly becomes a substantial excavation. Is the problem to do with application design and business logic execution? Are things held up by replication and clustering technologies? Well, yes, and we had to solve both of those issues as well, but our findings took us deep into the database persistence layer itself. It turned out that the online transaction processing principles that have underpinned relational and other transactional database designs for the last 50 years were now the root cause of the fundamental performance problems that we needed to solve. The culprit? Database locking. As we discussed earlier in this series, relational databases have no assumptions about the applications that are built on them: they are general purpose, flexible, and invaluable in that jack-of-all-trades role. But relational databases deal with transactional compliance by locking the affected data until each transaction is committed. Setting up and removing these locks creates significant overhead for a telco network where hundreds of millions of transactions are completed each hour. Because these transactions are spread over a large customer base, the actual probability of two transactions colliding is quite low, so incurring all this overhead for every transaction fails the “engineering 80:20 rule” – make the common case efficient and let the uncommon case pay the price. It doesn’t matter if the database is disk-based or in-memory, SQL or NoSQL, relational or object-based; if the system is guaranteeing integrity by locking all related data for every transaction, then in this vertical, it will deliver unpredictable latency and fail to scale. The objects in our in-memory database are available to the business logic application using direct memory access – there is no locking, no serialization/deserialization, no network hops and no complex transformations. When the business logic reads an object there’s a very small “consistency test” to ensure the object isn’t “half updated” and then memory speed access is granted to the data. The objects in our in-memory database are updated by the business logic using our patented non-blocking, contention-free algorithm. In a nutshell, the business logic can perform updates to the database as part of a transaction without any of the overhead of traditional locking or blocking, but still maintaining strict consistency guarantees. This makes our database hundreds to thousands of times more efficient for managing write-intense workloads like online charging and keeps the performance of each transaction consistent independent of other load on the system. Complex processing without impacting performance. Complex policy and charging operations can access many objects in the database – the subscriber, the device, the wallet, many balances, the products owned, the pricing information on those products, the group hierarchy, the groups’ wallets and purchased products, etc. Our contention free database aligned with our approach to executing business logic means the system is remarkably immune to increasing complexity within the subscriber data model or pricing design. In summary, we’re glad we did it the way we did, because we’ve created a unique database technology that underpins and distinguishes the entire MATRIXX value proposition. Time and again we outpace even the most carefully tuned competitors. The value of our platform comes from the subscriber experience and business innovation it enables, but the raw power of our database is what allows us to offer those advantages.

Who could forget the dramatic footage of surfing star, Mick Fanning’s close encounter with a shark at Jeffreys Bay last July? But Fanning is not the only Australian sporting champion to survive a shark attack. Emmie Pickering (1887-1970) of Oatley was from a large family of talented rowers. In March 1912, spectator boats and onlookers crowded the Parramatta River and cheered Emmie on to a thrilling victory over six-time winner, Gertie Lewis, during the Australian Ladies Sculling Championships. But this was not Emmie’s most exciting race. Emmie claimed the title of Australian ladies sculling champion for more than 20 years. Tragically, Stan was killed in 1917 whilst fighting on the Western Front. His name is inscribed on the war memorial at Oatley.

but i included some photos! Last night’s rehearsal was like being in the Blair Witch Project. Have I mentioned that we rehearse at the State Hospital? People tell stories of patients wandering the area at night, but I tend to think that’s all myth. What is true, however, is that sometimes my brain sees people outside the window. There are fireflies, so sometimes a flash of light catches your eye and you glance outside. So last night they turned off the lights to rehearse my scene, and I was in the dark with a flashlight, on the grounds of the State Hospital (which used to be called the Austin Lunatic Asylum), dodging chairs and flying things saying my lines about being lost and scared. I had Eric talk to me on the cell phone during the drive home. I don’t have much time today, as I have rehearsal in a couple of hours and the house needs some straightening. Some things are going to change next week that involve my e-mail address and update times, so please be patient for a week or so while I figure everything out. Eric just called. Turns out we’ll see each other for about fifteen minutes this evening and then we won’t see each other again until after midnight. That’s how it’s been lately. We’re both working on two shows and have full-time jobs and it’s just taking up all of our time. I’m home long enough to shove some medicine in the cat’s mouth and then I end up falling asleep before I even hit the bed. We miss each other. It’ll be nice come October when our schedules calm down a little. Take some time out for each other. I shouldn’t shave my head. Ponytails and pigtails, maybe. Here’s me and Eric minutes later. We didn’t drink all of that. real cool on the panda slopes, eh? Alabama Whorley from True Romance. Finally, here I am on the set of the first student film I ever was in. twenty degrees in that building. Okay, that’s all very lame, but seriously, Matt just called and told me there’s only three people available for tonight’s show and him and I are two of them. We’ve got to find some more people. Why the hell did all of the Monks go to the damn Mars Society convention?Gotta clean, gotta find some funny people, got to get to rehearsal.

Speaking in a Google Hangout Session in September 2013, United States (US) Secretary of State John Kerry warned that the war torn Syria could become another Afghanistan if the US did not help the rebels defeat Bashar Al Assad. Three years later, Kerry’s prophecy seems to be coming true. But it is not due to US’s ‘inaction’. Instead, it is the other way round. Just a year after Kerry made the statement, the US started bombing ISIL and eventually supported rebel groups fight the Assad government. The following year, Russian Aerospace Forces began a sustained campaign of air strikes against both ISIL and the anti-Assad rebel groups. The result: a proxy in which arch-rivals US and Russia locked horns for influence over the impoverished Middle Eastern nation. The latest of the aerial assaults following the alleged attack by Russia in a UN/Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) convoy carrying humanitarian aid to Aleppo province which killed 20 civilians destroying 18 trucks, has now been termed as among the worst in five years. In light of these developments, Syria is bearing striking resemblance to Afghanistan of the 80s in terms of the devastation and instability. While it is unlikely that Syria will see an invasion from Russia in the near future, one cannot be mistaken for thinking that the current tussle between Washington and Moscow gives a déjà vu feeling of the Soviet-Afghan war of the 80s. To begin with, in both Afghanistan and Syria, prolonged internal instability served as the background for foreign intervention. While in Afghanistan, the US took sides with the Mujahideen to topple the Soviet backed government of Babrak Karmal, in the case of Syria the instability has resulted in US supporting the Free Syrian Army (FSA) to fight against Russian backed government of Bashar Al Assad. Secondly, the intervention in both Afghanistan and Syria came at a time when relations between US and Russia were severed. Just like the cold war served as a backdrop for the Soviet-Afghan war, US’s sanctions against Russia and controversies regarding a variety of other issues are at the back of the two super powers’ involvement in Syria. There are parallels even in terms of the casualties. Half a million people have already lost their lives in Syria and it lies in complete state of disarray with no sights of stability in the near future. Similar was the consequence of the Soviet-Afghan war where almost 2 million people lost their lives and crippled Afghanistan into becoming a near failed state. There are a few reasons to suggest that the US and Russia would want to limit their involvement and avoid being pro-actively involved in Syria. At a time when Russia is facing sanctions from the West over its actions in Ukraine, Russian President Vladmir Putin will not want to invite additional alienation by further dirtying his hands in Syria. Moreover, its dwindling economy; a result of falling oil prices and sanctions, could be another reason why Russia would not think of any radical move. More importantly, with the unique dynamic brought about by the ISIL, both Pentagon and Kremlin would gain little by escalating tensions. Although escalating tensions might not be their option, it looks unlikely for US and Russia to end their involvement in distraught nation anytime soon. The future, like it was for Afghanistan in the 80s, is clear for Syria - a dysfunctional state with continuous infighting and devastation.

From his ranch outside Helena, Jim McMaster has a sobering view of Montana's future: mile after mile of huge new trophy homes that stop only where his fence begins. For years real-estate developers tried to lure McMaster into selling the property his grandfather homesteaded in 1875, some 5,600 acres of rolling grassland, teeming with elk and antelope, that overlooks a stretch of the Missouri River Valley once traveled by Lewis and Clark. "They wait for you on the road, they call, they hand you fliers to give 'em a call and get rich quick," says McMaster, a burly 79-year-old who works the range in well-worn overalls. "But I wasn't interested in seeing this land parceled off." Without heirs, McMaster was running out of time to find a buyer who would respect his wishes. Then he met an unlikely partner in Gates Watson, a 30-year-old environmentalist with the Conservation Fund, a Virginia-based nonprofit group. Last July McMaster sold the ranch to the fund for a fraction of its $6.2 million value. "I wanted to live long enough to get it into good hands," he says. As subdivisions devour the last open spaces of the American West, cowboys and "tree huggers," once bitter antagonists, are joining forces to save endangered landscapes like McMaster's ranch from development. The improbable allies face formidable market pressures. Population in the seven Rocky Mountain states has surged 47 percent in the past two decades. Over the last five years, more than 15 million acres of rangeland has been converted from grazing to other uses, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. An additional 25 million acres of ranchland in the Rocky Mountain West is at risk of being developed for housing by 2020, according to the American Farmland Trust (AFT), an advocacy group. The three- to five-acre "ranchettes" creeping out from the edges of virtually every Western city may seem like state parks to the average East Coast suburbanite. But development foes say the web of roads, lawns, power lines and shopping centers serving these new settlements has fragment-ed landscapes vital to wildlife and drained fragile waterways. "We're on the verge of losing the very qualities that people move to the West to find," says Ralph Grossi, president of the AFT. With newcomers stampeding westward, land prices are soaring. "I've seen properties that sold for $65,000 two generations ago now valued at $5 million," says Rock Ringling of the Montana Land Reliance (motto: "Cows, not condos"), which brokers conservation deals. The pressure on aging ranchers to sell is often compounded by family matters--children and grandchildren who don't want to stay on the land, or can no longer do so profitably. Faced with huge estate taxes, many believe they have to sell to the highest bidder. For some ranchers, however, preservation is more important than profit, and the conservationists are a palatable alternative to the developers. Often, instead of buying land outright, the groups pay ranchers for conservation easements--restrictions on a deed that bar future owners from developing the land. The practice is gaining acceptance in even the most traditional Western communities, where folks look unkindly on any infringement of their property rights. "When I sold my first easement, I lost some close friends who screamed at me, 'You've gone over to the Greens'," says Karl Rappold, a chisel-jawed fourth-generation rancher who four years ago sold development rights to his family's land along the Rocky Mountain front to the Nature Conservancy. "Now some of the same people are coming to me and saying, 'We need a deal to protect our ranch'." With easements, the Green groups gain valuable wildlife habitat, while the ranchers get much-needed cash (usually a third to a half of their land's market value) and can still work their land with only minimal restrictions. So far, about a million acres in the Rocky Mountain states have been placed under conservation easement, nearly half of that in Montana. "If I didn't think about the easement, I wouldn't know it was there," says Dusty Crary, 43, one of Rappold's neighbors, who sold development rights on his family's ranch near Choteau, Mont., to the Nature Conservancy. Now, in addition to feeding his Angus cattle, his land will remain intact as a crucial migration corridor for grizzly bears. "About the only thing my heirs won't be able to do is put up condos here," he says. Conservationists have come up with other solutions as well. When Jim McMaster sought a buyer, Gates Watson offered a deal: McMaster and his sister Dolly could remain on the property until the end of their days, after which the Conservation Fund would ensure that the ranch remained forever intact, as a "grass bank" where other ranchers could graze their cattle while restoring their own overused land. The new enviro-capitalists are a different breed from the finger-wagging scolds who used to rely on legislation and litigation to battle ranchers, whom they blamed for overgrazing and water pollution. "We don't do this because we're tree huggers," says Ringling. "We are producing a product, and that is open space." Alex Diekmann of the Trust for Public Land, a nationwide conservation group, holds an M.B.A. and worked on Wall Street before moving into commercial real estate. Now he buys conservation easements outside Bozeman. "I'm still in real estate," he says. "But it feels a lot better to buy land for the purpose of not building on it." Such deals may not impress Donald Trump, but to the ranchers determined to save the land they revere, they offer much-needed hope.

The exhaust emission scandal has visibly shaken the confidence auto buyers put into the German automotive industry. The details are – half a year after Volkswagen managers confessed to fraud – scarce, very scare. Both around the procedural and the technical details of the betrayal. Daniel will show how engineering a Electronic Control Unit (ECU) works, and how many people are involved. And he will take a look at the revealing communication from the affected parties. That try to share nothing with many words but still reveal a few interesting details. Felix takes the other approach and looks at body of evidence that 8+ million people have access to but too few took a closer look. He will share the tricks to extract the firmware from the affected engine control units and share the findings he made along the way and when he looked at the plain and honest truth in code.

North Carolina may be famous for the birth of Pepsi-Cola and Krispy Kreme but it may also be the birth place of your future child. It’s also home to families seeking adoption opportunities and resources to begin their journey. Whether you are looking to adopt, looking to place your child for adoption, or searching for information about home studies and where to begin the process, the following information will be your guide to all things adoption in North Carolina. What are the laws and requirements for adopting a baby in North Carolina? To adopt a child in North Carolina, you must be at least 18 years old and be willing to support a child financially, physically, socially, and emotionally. How much does it cost to adopt a baby in North Carolina? How do you become a Foster Parent in North Carolina? Can you finalize an international adoption in North Carolina? What is a facilitator and is it legal to use their services for adoption in North Carolina? Who must consent to an adoption in North Carolina? If the adoption is finalized through an agency, the agency must also provide consent. When is consent not necessary for adoption in North Carolina? If you are a woman in North Carolina who wants to learn more about adoption for your unborn baby, you might be struggling with the thought that you are “giving up a baby for adoption.” There is no “giving up” for a woman who chooses adoption for her baby. Adoption is not a decision a woman makes because she does not care or because it is the easy choice. Adoption is a very difficult decision a woman makes because she wants a better life for her child than what she is able to provide. How and when can Birth Parents consent to adoption in North Carolina? The child’s Birth Mother may give written consent to adoption under oath any time after the child is born. A licensed agency that places a minor for adoption shall execute its consent no later than 30 days after being served with notice of the proceeding for adoption. It must be signed by an authorized employee under oath. If the child’s father required to give consent, he may do so before or after the child is born and it should be done in writing and under oath. If the child being adopted is 12 years or older, they may consent to the adoption at any time. A consent to the adoption of an Indian child must meet the requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act. Can a Birth Parent revoke their consent to adoption in North Carolina? The Birth Father may revoke his consent to adoption up to 30 days after the child’s birth or 30 days after the initial consent, whichever occurs later. The Birth Mother may revoke her consent to adoption up to 30 days after her initial consent to adoption. After the 30-day period, consent is irrevocable. What rights do Birth Fathers have in the adoption process in North Carolina? All men in North Carolina have the right to receive notice of adoption proceedings of a child they potentially fathered, but the right to receive notice does not mean the father's consent is required for adoption. While a man who was married to the Birth Mother may be required to consent, unmarried Birth Fathers first must prove a strong child-parent relationship before court requires his consent. If the Presumed Father fails to respond to the notice, the court will take that as his agreement to the adoption proceedings. Prospective Adoptive Parents and all household members 18 years or older must also pass fingerprint-based background checks for county, state and Federal crimes before being approved for adoption. A preplacement assessment must be completed or updated within 18 months immediately preceding a placement of a child for adoption. Who oversees a home study in North Carolina and who is included in it? A social worker from the Department of Social Services or a licensed agency may conduct home studies in North Carolina. The Prospective Adoptive Parents and any one 18 years or older living in the home will be included in the study. Why would my home study not be approved in North Carolina? A home study will not be approved if a Prospective Parent does not consent to a criminal background check. Is a home study different for stepparent or relative adoptions in North Carolina? The home study requirement is not necessary for a stepparent, grandparent, sibling, first-cousin, uncle, aunt, great-uncle, great-aunt, or great-grandparent adoption the child. An interstate placement of a minor for purposes of adoption shall comply with the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children. A post placement study is required after the child has been placed into the adoptive home to ensure the family and child are adjusting well and that no major changes have occurred to hinder the family’s ability to care for the child. What are the requirements for a Foster to Adopt placement in North Carolina? This issue is not addressed in the North Carolina statutes and regulations.

The International Motor Vehicle Inspection Committee (CITA) and the German Association of Technical Inspection Agencies (VdTÜV) warmly invites you to a dinner debate in Brussels, rue d’Arlon 82, on Monday the 19th November, at 17h30. During the event, we will debate changes through highly automated driving (HAD), the opportunities to improve road safety and challenges for testing and certification of autonomous vehicles and components to make it safe and secure along the complete life-cycle. What are the new risks occurring with HAD and how can we minimize it? What are the needed changes for regulatory requirements with regards to homologation and periodical testing (increasing relevance of software and simulation) to make the new technology save and secure? How important are the increasing data collected in the vehicle for road safety, e.g. for e-homologation – and how can we make the data transfer secure against cyber-attacks (e.g., with a trusted data center)? How can we guarantee the functionality of advanced assistant systems in vehicles along the lifecycle to maintain their effect on safe & secure road transport? How will the increasing power of tier 1 suppliers due to deep technological knowledge and a shift to construction in modules change the car industry? If you would like participate at the event, please send us an email at secretariat@citainsp.org before Wednesday the 14th November 2018.

The family and I went to Birmingham, Alabama, in 2009 to watch “Walking with Dinosaurs.” We heard two kids were killed at a previous show, so we anticipated an exciting night. Everybody wore old clothes because I expected dinosaur smell would get on everything. -I didn’t expect the Brachiosaurus to take a huge crap in the middle of the arena. I don’t think the emcee expected it either, he seemed kind of embarrassed, especially when he almost slipped in it. They had to go to a 40-minute intermission to clean it up. The smell was horrendous. -No one was killed, but they did let a live chicken loose on the arena floor where it proceeded to squawk and run around. It was kind of funny until one of the dinosaurs stepped on it, then it was hilarious. The emcee grabbed the still twitching chicken carcass, held it above his head, and let the blood drip into his mouth. That part was a little creepy. -The special Dancing With Dinosaurs segment featuring Cloris Leachman, who actually raised some of the creatures as pets. -Also, it was a bit surprising when Jesus came riding out on the Torosaurus. All in all, a fun night, with memories for a lifetime.

I cannot take credit for these insanely delicious bites of heaven. Juli Bauer over at PaleOMG is the mastermind behind this dish. She’s also wickedly funny, so check her out! So, as you know, I’ve been prepping meals for the week during my Mondays. Well, last week I made Rosemary Bacon Sliders and no joke, I wish I had made them for lunch and dinner everyday. I love rosemary. I love bacon. I love burgers. This meal was like, my food soul mate. So, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! These would be great for a quickie breakfast or snack item! One little note, when bacon is included in a recipe, I like to remind folks out there to get QUALITY bacon. I know us paleo people can throw back pounds of bacon at a time, but seriously, from a nutritional standpoint we need to ease off a bit. 1. Conventionally raised pigs (like chickens and cows) are not treated well in the United States. Don’t support the people who are selling crappy products, torturing innocent animals, and ruining our environment. 2. They are also not fed well. The things an animal eats must be filtered and processed in the body (duh.) and when there are toxins present, do you know where they are stored? IN THE FAT. Well, seeing how bacon is primarily fat, wouldn’t you say that you’d like your pig (turned bacon) to have eaten as cleanly as possible? yes, me too. 3. They are mostly fed corn, soy, and other grain meals, products and by-products. That’s a heavy Omega 6 load that is also stored in the FAT. Get quality bacon and enjoy it in moderation. Not because saturated fat is bad for you, but because the nutritional value of conventional bacon is not doing you any favors. Need more proof? Here’s a good little read about bacon from the most beautiful people in Paleo, Dallas and Melissa at Whole 9. In a bowl, combine beef and spices and form into 2 oz. patties. Cut bacon strips in half and wrap them around the patties. Place patties on a baking sheet. When ready to eat, place patties, top down in a hot skillet to crisp up the bacon. Serve with eggs or some sweet potatoes with cinnamon and pecans. Yum!

The wife of an elderly gentlem an called me last week in a bit of a panic. Her husband had been out for a stroll, and returned with a leg so swollen he was finding it difficult to walk on. When I checked him over, the whole leg was swollen from foot to thigh, and although his skin wasn’t particularly reddened, it was quite warm compared to the other leg. There were several possibilities here, but the first to spring to mind is a blood clot in one of the leg veins. A clot (or DVT – Deep Vein Thrombosis) is a potentially serious medical condition. The clot inhibits the return of blood from the limb which results in the swelling and heat. However, the serious danger arises if the clot dislodges, and travels through the bloodstream. Venous blood from the body is on its way back to the heart and then the lungs, and a clot being carried along can easily get lodged in one of the small blood vessels here. You may then suffer with chest pain, breathlessness, a cough (usually dry, though you may cough up some blood) – although sometimes there are no symptoms. A clot can cause damage to lung tissue, and a severe one can sometimes result in a cardiac arrest (it stops the heart pumping). That’s why it’s important to treat DVT rapidly. The elderly gentleman was at risk for DVT, because he’d suffered twice with clots in his lower leg previously. He also spends a fair amount of time sitting in his armchair. On top of that, prostate enlargement, so common in older men, meant that he struggled to empty his bladder fully, and when sitting down the heavy bladder was pressing on the blood vessels in the pelvis. This slows down the blood flow, and increases the risk of clots forming. Pressure on the pelvis is also one of the reasons DVT occurs more commonly in pregnant ladies. Other risk factors are extended periods of immobility, such as long journeys or bed-rest. This is why hospitals are very keen for their patients to get moving again as quickly as possible after surgery. A trip to the emergency doctor got our gentleman started on anti-coagulant medication as a precaution, and the following day he was sent to the hospital for an urgent ultrasound scan. A DVT was indeed found in his upper thigh. This being his third DVT, he will now continue to take medication for the rest of his life to prevent future recurrences. If you know an elderly person who spends long periods of time sitting, encourage some movement into their daily lives. A little walking can not only help prevent clot formation, but improve strength and balance, reducing the risk of falls. Even exercise in the chair can go a long way to help maintain health. Get them bending and flexing at the ankles – working the muscles of the calf helps to get that blood moving back up the legs. An osteopath is trained to look for problems that may require medical intervention. Unexplained swelling and warmth in the legs should be treated as DVT until it’s proven otherwise. If in doubt, dial 111 for guidance. This entry was posted in General and tagged blood clot, DVT, embolism, osteopathy, swelling, swollen leg, thrombosis. Bookmark the permalink.

Tonight on E! is an all new episode of Keeping Up With The Karadshians called “Kardashian Therapy Part One”. On tonight’s show Oprah comes to the house to interview the family. Kim’s desire to explore life as an individual threatens her sisters. If you missed the last show called “Tales From the Kardashian Krypt”, we have a full and detailed recap for you here. On last week’s episode Kris wants to get the family together, forever. She asked Bruce if he wants to be cremated or does he want to be buried. Bruce was far from pleased. The rest of the family is not interested and Kris planned like she was planning a party regardless of how not interested the family was. On tonight’s show a Kardashian special event kicks off with one word “Oprah” … you know this ones gonna be good. The clip for tonight’s show is hilarious the family looks like the president arrived when Oprah rings the door bell. Star struck anyone? Tonight is going to be another crazy episode that you won’t want to miss, so be sure to tune in for our live coverage of E!’s “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” tonight at 9PM EST! Meanwhile, while you wait for our recap hit the comments and let us know what you think of season 7 of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”, so far! Check out the sneak peek video of tonight’s show below! Tonight’s episode: The family is so excited that they are all going to be interviewed by Oprah. Kanye West is over at Kim’s house with his stylist to give her a makeover, he inspires her to be more of an individual and she is so excited to see what his take is on her fashion. At the end of the makeover, Kim has a huge pile for donation but she doesn’t have to worry, Kanye has promised her that he will replace it all for her. Khloe goes over to Kim’s house and she is shocked at how much of Kim’s stuff is going, she is almost having a break down over it and its not even her stuff. Rob is in Vegas, he is judge for the Miss USA pageant and calls his mom about the men’s Dash store that he wants to open, but again he feels like she doesn’t take him seriously. Rob meets up with Kim, she is in Vegas to launch her new perfume, he tries to talk to her about his sock line and the name he came up with “Arthur George”, but they knock heads over the name of the brand. Rob is getting interviewed on the red carpet and all the questions for him revert back to his sisters. Arsenio Hall meets up with Rob backstage and tells him that he made him finally think about his socks, to which Rob was really proud. Kris, Kourtney, Khloe and Kim are having a business meeting to talk about starting a new makeup line. Kim doesn’t want Kardashian name on line and Kourtney doesn’t understand why not. Rob is in the car with his sisters and his mom, he brings up the subject of his opening a men’s store and Kim interrupts and says something rude to him, Rob calls Kim selfish. Rob then tells his mother that he literally has no income and she barely listens to him as she is just thinking about the Oprah interview. Just before Oprah arrives at the house, Kim walks into the hallway with the rest of the family and Kris says, “Oh, there’s my favourite daughter”, is this woman for real? Does she realize what she does to her other children when she says that? Dumb. Oprah tells the family that they look as good as they do on television. First, everyone takes photos in front of the staircase. The family goes one after the other and gets interview by Oprah, Kim probably had the most intense questions in her solo interview because she has the mostR intense life. This whole interview with Oprah is a dream come true for the girls, but Rob is really feeling left out. The whole Oprah experience was wonderful, the whole family has a crush on her after she leaves. Kim tells her sisters that she wants to do her own lingerie line and they are both upset that she wants to branch out on her own. Kourtney loves working with her sisters and doesn’t know why Kim wants to go off on her own for some projects. Khloe reminds her that she is brought in some brands and shared them with everyone and doesn’t understand why Kim wouldn’t want to be the same. Kourtney wants to have a family meeting to discuss the issues all the issues with Kim. Kourtney calls the meeting a family intervention and Kim thinks it is the most ridiculous thing ever and is just not into it. Kim calls Kris who tells her that she would go if everyone else is into and thinks that Kim should also go. Kim and Kourtney are getting their makeup done for a Jimmy Kimmel interview, Rob and Kris is there when Rob loses it and calls Kim selfish again. At the intervention Kim says it is not for her because she is a really logical person. Right away, Rob tries to talk and the women interrupt him. Kourtney tells the therapist that before they came into the room, Kim and Rob were violently yelling at each other. Meanwhile, Scott is alone with Mason and asks him who he likes better, mommy or daddy. Mason answers mommy and daddy, the child has more sense the father. Back at the intervention, Kim tells the therapist that she is closer to Kris because they can relate to each other more. When Kris is questioned why she takes so long to respond to her children, she comes up with a lame excuse that she is busy with business, but Kourtney feels that she should be able to put her children first. The talk moves to the fact the Kris’s favourite daughter is Kim, but again Kris waves it off and says she just needs to prioritize her time better. The focus moves to Rob, he tells the therapist that he feels like he is a loser in his family because when there is a business opportunity for him, his mother ignores it. Rob starts to get really upset, crying and leaves the room with Khloe right behind him. It takes a few minutes, but the therapist goes to look for Rob and unbelievably his selfish mother doesn’t even budge off the couch to go see her son. Unfortunately we have to wait until next week to see what happens, see you then.

Japan’s coal industry is being pushed by the country’s prime minister. In an effort to expand sales of the Japanese coal industry within the country and internationally, Japan’s Prime Minister Shionzo Abe is supporting coal power, which is a huge disappointment to environmentalists who had hoped that after the Fukushima nuclear disaster that he would be more inclined to favor renewable energy. Coal will play an important role in Japan’s energy strategy. Instead of turning the nation towards renewables, a new energy plan that was recently approved on April 11 by the Japanese Cabinet, has selected coal to be a key energy source over the long-term. Furthermore, in addition to coal, the new policy has given nuclear power the same importance. Meanwhile, in terms of implementing greener plans for the nation, no specific renewable energy targets, such as geothermal, wind and solar were put into place. That being said, in spite of new policies, utilities in the country have been way ahead of the government in several ways. Since nuclear reactors have been inactive due to safety checks, the country’s10 power companies have already gone through 5.66 million metric tons of coal in January, alone. Based on industry figures, that is not only a record for the month of January, but is 12% higher than last year. Renewable energy is having a hard time competing with cheaper electricity options. IHI Corporation’s president of energy and plant operations, Naoya Domoto said, “You cannot exclude coal when you think about the best energy mix for Japan to keep energy costs stable,” he went on to say that “One way to do that is to use coal efficiently.” Domoto is also a developer of A-USC, a type of technology designed to burn coal that will produce steam at a higher temperature. Despite the fact that Japan’s support of coal comes as a shock to many people, particularly to environmentalists, the country’s enthusiasm for coal is not unlike similar trends seen in the U.S. and Europe. In the UK, Germany and Spain, subsidies for alternative energy have been cut to lower electricity costs, while in the U.S., an exceptionally cold winter increased the price of natural gas, which was enough to encourage utilities to prolong the use of the less environmentally-friendly coal plants. The draw to use coal is primarily because it is cheaper. In turn, this drive for low-cost electricity results in a failure to comply with regulations that support renewable energy and limits fossil fuels.

(Capcom)Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabyashi has announced on video the planned remake for "Resident Evil 2" and has said that Capcom will use social media in order to know what fans will want on the game. When news of a "Resident Evil 2 Remake" first came out in 2015, fans of the iconic franchise were all pumped up in excitement. Since its announcement, however, nothing concrete has been revealed as far the game's definite release date and other aspects are concerned. What fans can hold on to for now are the alleged leaked details that came out earlier this year posted on 4chan via GearNuke, noting the time window of the game's release. The rumor claimed that "Resident Evil 2 Remake" will come out sometime toward the end of 2018. A screenshot of the said rumor also made rounds online via Twitter, which pumped up the waiting fans. Moreover, ScreenRant reported that there will be some key changes that may not sit well with fans of the franchise. Instead of applying the traditional, fixed camera angles, the upcoming game will feature an over-the-shoulder perspective. Furthermore, the game will be more focused on horror instead of action while the setting and aesthetics of the Raccoon City and its police station will receive a makeover. As for the game's campaigns, it will only feature two instead of the original four, as the Hunk mission has also been scrapped. In addition, the crocodile boss was also scrapped, but on the flipside, the Sherry and Ada missions have been aptly expanded. Meanwhile, Hideki Kamiya, the director of the original "Resident Evil 2" expressed his optimism on the project, as well as the upcoming game's director. "I heard that my friend is directing RE2 remake. Let's trust him & wait for a new information," wrote Kamiya on Twitter. He also responded positively to a Twitter follower who asked if the new team will do justice to "Resident Evil 2," to which he responded, "I went drinking with him last year & told him 'Do as you like'. That's the way directors should do. I trust him & his team."

If you look at Chelsey Fix ’19, smiling at the center of a recent photo with the University of Lynchburg Debate and Forensics Society, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely not Jim Jones, the infamous cult leader who initiated the mass suicide of more than 900 of his followers in Jonestown, Guyana, in 1978. Fix and other members of Lynchburg’s Debate and Forensics Society were in North Carolina February 16 and 17 for a tournament hosted by the Collegiate Forensic Association. Lynchburg, which has had debate and forensics for only four years, competed and placed in several categories and placed fourth overall. In addition to her first in Declamation, Fix also placed first in After Dinner Speaking, an event Cummings describes as “a mix of serious topic and humorous delivery.” For this event, competitors write original speeches. Fix’s speech, for example, was about endangered ducks. Lynchburg’s Debate and Forensics Society consists of (left to right) Ethan Fredericks ’21, Jenna Lopez ’21, Ashani Parker ’21, Chelsey Fix ’19, Rhiannon Cire ’19, and Justin Cummings ’19.

BSOD with New Motherboard – Tips and help for taming a wild computer. Sometimes if you move a Windows motherboard to a new motherboard/CPU, it all works perfectly. Sometimes you get a BSoD at startup and a reboot loop. The difference seems to come down to differences in chipsets between the two computers. In Windows XP I used to run what was called a “repair install” to get past this. In Vista and 7 they removed that option so I had no idea what to do to get past it. I found a method for getting past this, and in my testing of one computer it seems to work. I found it on this page. It involves booting with a CD, going to the Command Prompt option, and using the DISM command to preload all drivers from the motherboard CD into Windows. Change drive letters to match, of course.

Tallahassee is a Mid-sized mix of several defining elements. It is the state’s capital but bears little resemblance to the coastal cities more aligned with the Florida image. It is a college town, home to the 35,000-student Florida State University and the smaller Florida A&M, but doesn’t come across as a typical college town. It is, both in character and appearance, more of a Southern city than a Florida one – laid back, dignified buildings and grid streets with a canopy of large trees, forests and cotton fields outside of town. Pluses include a few college-town amenities, particularly sports, nightlife and healthcare facilities, and high educational attainment. Home prices haven’t escalated as much as in other Florida cities, and Tallahassee has good home values and neighborhoods. For that reason, the area is starting to become more popular for retirees looking for a pleasant climate, less crowding and some intellectual stimulation. Outdoor recreation opportunities lie in the Apalachicola National Forest and beach areas just south of town. With 36 days below freezing, Tallahassee is by far the coldest metro area in Florida, although hardly cold by national standards. Local terrain is rolling, with rich, red soil and forests of live oak, pine, magnolia, and a variety of other subtropical vegetation. Numerous lakes surround the area, and the countryside is famous for its “canopy roads” - long stretches of road completely sheltered by overhanging live oak trees. The climate is mild and moist with distinct seasons. Winter brings considerable rain and cloudiness, with temperatures occasionally dropping into the teens. Summer is the least pleasant season- high temperatures and very high humidity cause considerable discomfort, plus thunderstorms occur every other day. The median home price in Havana is $168,800.

Your brain is always busy, even when you’re not thinking about anything. Scientists believe the way brain cells communicate with one another when the brain is in that ‘resting state’ might differ in individuals with certain diseases. In a recent study of this idea, IRP researchers found that resting state brain activity could effectively predict the severity of alcohol-related problems. The IRP is home to some of today’s and tomorrow’s greatest scientific minds. Hundreds of budding biomedical pioneers begin honing their scientific skills here in high school, but very few win distinction as quickly as seventeen-year-old Daniel Schäffer, whose IRP research earned him inclusion among this year’s 40 finalists in the prestigious Regeneron Science Talent Search. Cancer kills more than half a million men, women, and children each year in the U.S, and chemotherapy is only slightly more discriminating than the disease it treats. As a result, many cancer treatments kill cells throughout the body and cause severe side effects. New IRP research could solve this problem by creating a way to release those toxic compounds only when and where doctors desire. As Women's History month draws to a close, we’d like to introduce you to some of the IRP researchers who have received the honor of delivering the Anita B. Roberts Lecture. The Anita B. Roberts Lecture Series is organized by the NIH Women Scientist Advisors Committee to highlight outstanding research achievements by female scientists at NIH. The series is supported by the Office of Research on Women’s Health. Much of human biology is a black box — scientists know the key players and the end results, but not how those outcomes come about. Consequently, it remains a mystery why some medications help patients. A new IRP study has cracked open the black box to reveal how high levels of an inflammatory molecule inhibit blood cell production in some individuals and why a particular medicine helps reverse this life-threatening condition. Surrounded as we are with incredible technologies like supercomputers, MRI scanners, and smartphones, it's easy to forget that technologies viewed as antiquated today were once considered cutting-edge. Perhaps learning about some of the gadgets and technological concerns from NIH's past will help spark a greater appreciation for the wonderful gizmos that are spurring new scientific discoveries (and adorable cat memes) today. The NIH’s main campus in Bethesda, Maryland, may have the look and feel of a university campus, but the world-renowned research institution does not grant credentials like an M.D. or Ph.D. Instead, the Graduate Partnerships Program offers graduate students from schools around the world the opportunity to complete research for their Ph.D. dissertations in IRP labs while pursuing advanced degrees from their ‘host’ institutions. IRP researchers have always worked on the cutting edge of biomedical science, from testing the first successful treatment for childhood schizophrenia to pioneering the first screening technique for HIV. In a new study, an IRP team recently achieved yet another first: simultaneously editing two genetic sites in mice using a brand-new approach called base editing that may prove to be more precise – and therefore safer – than other gene editing methods. What does a postbac actually do in the NIH IRP? Maybe you have an image of someone mixing colorful chemicals together like a mad scientist (which sometimes isn’t too far from the truth). Although I am not creating any diabolical concoctions, I am kept quite busy running tests to examine whether our treatments reverse the effects of lung fibrosis, a thickening and scarring of lung tissue. Here’s what a typical week looks like for me. Most people probably think of viruses as villains that bring illnesses like measles, HIV, and the flu, but some viruses are proving to be valuable allies in the fight against genetic diseases. In a new study, a team of scientists from the NIH IRP and their colleagues showed the promise of a lab-designed virus for delivering gene therapies aimed at correcting hereditary hearing loss. I've spent the last couple months scouring the NIH archives for the most interesting trivia tidbits I could find. Now you can entertain your colleagues and friends with these 10 fun facts about NIH! 1) Native Americans camped along the stream on the east side of campus beginning about 3,000 years ago. They left choppers, arrow heads, and other material evidence behind. Virtually all parents would agree that having kids is a massive undertaking, and not just after they’re born. Many couples struggle to conceive, and each year thousands of American women experience complications when giving birth. With the help of the NIH’s state-of-the-art supercomputer, Biowulf, IRP senior investigator Rajeshwari Sundaram, Ph.D., develops and refines statistical tools that can guide prospective parents and their doctors through these challenges. Until recently, medical treatment has largely been one-size-fits-all, with doctors unable to separate patients into distinct groups that might benefit more or less from a particular approach. However, researchers are increasingly finding that individuals with the same disease can differ markedly in ways that might one day influence their care. A recent IRP study has identified a particular molecule that may have just such an impact for patients with damaged lungs. “That machine? You’re gonna have to get up close and personal with it,” Josh, my fellow postbac, told me. I looked at this small metal contraption and nodded, trying to appear as if I understood, while thinking: he just means that people spend so much time sectioning organs on the microtome that it’s like spending an extended amount of time with a loved one, right? Fast forward a few days, and I find myself breathing warm, moist air onto a paraffin-embedded mouse lung to soften the wax, just before I slice four-micrometer sections of mouse lung tissue that will later be stained and examined under a microscope. “He wasn’t kidding,” I muttered. While many people think staving off aging means drinking seaweed smoothies and swallowing fish oil supplements, the key to extending life increasingly appears to be not putting things in our mouths. In yet another example of the anti-aging powers of eating less — what scientists call caloric restriction — IRP researchers have identified the specific aging-induced cellular and molecular changes in arteries that are curbed by substantially reducing calorie intake. What&#039;s It Like Arriving on NIH&#039;s Bethesda Campus? We recently sat down with a handful of NIH IRP researchers and support staff to talk about what it’s like to work in the IRP. These meetings between mostly strangers who work at the same massive research campus near Washington, D.C., highlight a wonderful quality of the IRP: Everywhere you go, there are numerous other people who share a love of science and a drive to improve human health, yet also come from markedly different backgrounds and offer wide-ranging perspectives. IRP researchers who reach out to learn from their diverse colleagues and share their thoughts and experiences often find new collaborators and other rewards. For Americans and others living outside the tropics, a mosquito bite is nothing more than an itchy inconvenience, but for billions of others, it can lead to a life-or-death battle with malaria. In some cases, the illness can wreak havoc on the brain. A new IRP study has used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to demonstrate that an investigational therapy can reverse that damage in mice.

The Brexit talks are expected to continue for the month of October and could last until Dec. 1. The Brexit is held back because of the border between Ireland and the United Kingdom. Many people travel over the border but with the United Kingdom leaving the EU, it will become a hard border. This would affect people living thereby forcing them to pass checkpoints to cross or not even being allowed to cross the border. More information here. Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi disappeared around two weeks ago. He was last seen in Istanbul, Turkey near the Saudi consulate. This is cause for concern, as Khashoggi was highly critical of the Saudi government. The Saudi government denies any claim of responsibility with Khashoggi’s disappearance. More information here. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has been looking into cases of acute flaccid myelitis. Children are the only group that suffers from acute flaccid myelitis. The cause of acute flaccid myelitis has not been found, but it has been linked to other viruses. Symptoms are slurred speech, trouble with swallowing and eye movement.

BRUSSELS --The European Commission has called on Poland to suspend controversial judicial reforms it said would "have a very significant negative impact" on the Polish judiciary's independence, or face unprecedented sanctions as early as next week. “We will swiftly prepare infringement procedures for breach of EU law ... to be launched next week," The European Commission's First Vice-President Frans Timmermans said on July 19 after a meeting of the Commission in Brussels. Since winning an election in 2015, the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party has sought to step up government influence over courts and prosecutors as well as state media. Last week parliament, which is controlled by the PiS, adopted judicial reforms that the opposition and others see as a threat to the separation of powers. The legislation would give the politically appointed justice minister the power to name the chief justices of Poland's common courts. In addition, parliament would select members of the National Council of the Judiciary, whose role is to protect the independence of courts. The PiS also tabled a separate bill in parliament that would subjugate the Supreme Court -- which supervises lower courts -- to executive power, in a move the opposition criticized as "the announcement of a coup." Timmermans on July 19 warned that the Commission is "coming very close" to triggering article 7 of the EU treaty which could lead to Poland losing its voting right in the council. "These laws considerably increase the systemic threats to the rule of law,” Timmermans warned. "Collectively, they would abolish any remaining judicial independence and put the judiciary under full political control of the government,” he said. On July 19, Polish lawmakers sent the bill on reorganizing the Supreme Court to a specialized commission. The move came after a heated debate late on July 18 forced the deputy speaker to suspend proceedings overnight amid a protest against the draft legislation staged by thousands of people outside the Polish presidential palace. During the debate, the opposition proposed more than 1,000 amendments to the draft, which, it says, kills judicial independence.

Despite protests from two public speakers Tuesday night, the City Council gave its final OK on an ordinance banning the cultivation, processing, distribution and delivery of medical cannabis in Newport Beach. The ordinance, which was introduced and passed by the council on Nov. 10, is in response to the state's Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, which Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law Oct. 9. The act, which becomes effective Jan. 1, will create California's first statewide licensing and operating rules for pot growers, manufacturers of cannabis products and retail outlets since state voters legalized medical marijuana nearly 20 years ago. The act also states that unless cities take immediate action to enact rules or bans for medical marijuana in their jurisdictions, the state will become the sole authority for licensing and regulation. Newport Beach's municipal code previously did not address medical marijuana, though dispensaries have not been allowed to operate in the city, according to City Manager Dave Kiff. Though there are no brick-and-mortar pot dispensaries operating in Newport Beach, several online services say they deliver marijuana to people in the city, according to an Internet search. Frank Moreno, chief executive of MJIC, a Newport Beach cannabis investment firm, asked the council to reconsider banning marijuana delivery services as part of the ordinance. "I know for a fact there are thousands of residents who hold medical marijuana cards," he said. "Many of whom are unable to travel to get safe access to quality medical marijuana."

XT-739 is a thixotropic (resistant to flow) tin catalyzed silicone designed to be used when painting or spraying onto vertical surfaces. XT-739 does contain the mold rotting thixoadditives widely used today, but offers the end user the same ease of use and detail reproducibility. When catalyzed with one of our library life extending catalysts (see supplemental products) and stored correctly, a longer life of the cured mold should be expected. Its high tear strength, elongation and tensile strength make it an excellent choice for any mold making application. It is also resistant to inhibition by most common mold making substrates, eliminating the need to use mold sealers.

"Come Find Us" Official Trailer from Toy Soldier Productions on Vimeo. As a photographer I have always been drawn to shape, texture, and color. Using a view camera I will Place objects within the frame to capture the claustrophobia of urban life, while creating an image that conveys the lifelessness of these corporate monuments and the stark juxtaposition between humanity and its environment. I want the viewer to not look at just a single image but the series as a whole. Looking outside the frame at the modernity of the man-made environment. We were at the Story Mansion and Collin told me he was going to reveal his secret to me in the library. These are my final images for our 3rd assignment in advanced lighting. Hope you like. I made this Tintype last night. what do you guys think? I don't know about you but this makes me so happy. French photographer, Sacha Goldberger, helped lift his grandmother's spirits by having her dress as a super hero for a series of funny photographs. Check it out for a smile. This is undusted but edited to completion. Remember that the concept is loosely the fragility of identity and the darker side of introspection. Wahtch yall think? I'm a graduate student in the Science and Natural History Filmmaking program. To augment a paper I'm writing for MTA 504 (Film and Doc Theory), I will be holding a multispectral photo shoot on Tuesday, November 16th from 3-6PM in VCB Room 150. I will be photographing people in visible light, near infrared (>720nm), and reflected ultraviolet >My goal with multispectral portraiture is to explore physical and mental subjectivity. The shoot is totally free, and I will provide attendees with full-resolution digital copies of their portraits once I've finished processing them (which may take a few weeks). I'd also be more than happy to discuss the technical aspects of UV and IR photography. IR photography is fairly common, but reflected UV photography is very exotic outside the domains of science, medicine, and forensics. I shoot UV and IR photos with a modified Nikon D200 (I'd use something newer, but older CCD sensors tend to have better UV and IR pickup than newer CMOS sensors). I replaced my camera's UV/IR-blocking hot mirror with UV/IR-transmitting clear glass, allowing the CCD to receive UV and IR radiation. For light filtration, I use a Baader U-Filter for reflected UV and a Hoya R72 filter for near-IR . For illumination, I use three Vivitar 285HVs with drilled out fresnel lenses (fresnel lenses block UV radiation). Safe UV photography requires closed eyes and/or protective eyewear. I'm able to get in-camera false colors due to UV and IR's differential penetration of the red, green, and blue filters of the CCD's Bayer array. Feel free to email me with any questions, or to schedule an alternate shoot if you're interested but can't make it on Tuesday. The photo faculty will hold an informal meeting with students interested in grad school, Tuesday November 16th, from 12:00p-1:00p in VCB 148. This is open to all photo students (past and present). Come and ask your questions. some lights from last night! Questions about Grad School? Attend the Grad School Prep Workshop! Student Success Workshops - Nov. 10th 4:10 - 5:00 McNair Scholars Program and Graduate School Preparation. The workshop will be held Wed. Nov. 10th from 4:10 - 5 pm in SUB 233.

Also selling nice computer desk that fits in a corner well for $20. New Look to my website! These are quadruple exposures that I did for the portrait assignment in 264. I shot people surrounded by the equipment of a activity they enjoy and multiplied it to emphasize the repetitive nature of the their specific activity. I took three exposures of the objects, each time shifting the camera to the left or right. Then I had my models sit in on the fourth, after adjusting my exposure and popped a flash. This was the first time that I have used studio lights and a flash. I used two Alien Bee B800 flash units and a soft box. An interesting project by photographer Richard Renaldi, where he gets two strangers to pose and "touch" each other for the camera (not in an explicit manner, though).

That’s mighty rich of Hillary, considering it was her campaign which started both the “Obama is Muslim” and not born in the U.S. claims and pushed them into the public consciousness during the 2008 primary campaign against Obama. Dear Media, for the 1,000,000th time: Hillary was the original Birther. Hillary *shocked* people still believe Obama-Muslim claim she started http://t.co/AgUNQuxgvG /yes, she thinks we're that stupid. http://t.co/YQ4lPpSG63 Hillary Started Obama Muslim Claim in 2008! This is, of course, a tempest in a tea-pot (can I say tea-pot?). T-rump didn’t sufficiently jump up and down on a guy at a town-hall type event to keep the Mushroom Media away from their PC fainting couch, and Hellary did what you’d expect the poor, lying Collectivist to do; capitalize on it in the most flagrant, hypocritical way possible. So this is really a “nothing-berger” all around. It is impossible for Trump to have a ‘Correct’ response to such a comment, or at least according to the yardstick used by the MSM. If he had walked down into the audience with a stick and beaten the guy, the MSM would be all aghast about how Trump does not respect the guys civil rights, and if he does anything short of that, they get to cluck and cackle about how his supporters are all sexist/racist/homophobic/facist/loons. T-rump could have answered the predicate of the question in true Trumpian fashion, and been perfectly fine. Or, he could have said, ” I don’t know obama’s religion, I just know he is the worst president in history”. Was it Hillary who went on ABC in 2008 and referred to “my Muslim faith”? No, it was Obama. Was it Hillary who boasted in 2008 of having grown up in a Muslim country, having had a Muslim step-father, and thinking the Muslim call to prayer is “the most beautiful sound on earth.”? No, it was Obama. Was it Hillary who joined a “Christian” Chicago church that openly invites Muslims to join, and preaches hatred of white America? No, it was Obama. Was it Hillary who wrote in Obama’s book that he would “side with the Muslims” in a clash of cultures? No, it was Obama. If Americans are confused about whether or not Obama is a Muslim, it seems they are not the only ones who are confused. And that’s on Obama, not Hillary. Mr. Obama spent much of his youth in Hawaii under the sometime tutelage of Frank Marshall Davis, who was a Communist Party USA (CPUSA) propagandist. I’m sure by the time Mr. Davis was done, Mr. Obama didn’t have any real religion left in him. Obama, like any good Marxist, believes that religion is an is the opiate of the masses. He “wears” the trappings of religion like most folks wear a suit coat .. he puts on one when it seems appropriate. Sometimes, he wears Christian .. other times Muslim .. but underneath he really doesn’t believe in any of them; they are merely for appearance .. to dispense a dose of the opiate to the masses. Obama created the misinformation that started the entire “birther” thing. Yeah, the Hillary campaign did pass it along, but It seems pretty obvious that not only did Obama’s publicist but Obama, himself, probably used his faux Kenyan birth to further his fortunes while in college (all of that stuff is locked away, of course). The irony of all ironies is that Obama’s opponents ended up picking up his lies, mostly because they were so convenient, only to make themselves look silly. No wonder Obama let the “birther” lies go on so long before releasing his Hawaiian birth certificate. I recall reading that like a lot of secular socialists in post WWII America, an era when the vast majority of people belonged to a church, the Dunhams professed to be Unitarians. I see a lot of Unitarian influence in Obam’s attitude towards religion. The Unitarians tend to celebrate the holidays of all religions even as they believe in the validity of none. They also prattle on about their unique spiritual journey towards anywhere but here. Since they lack a creed, this journey has no point other than the attainment of a feeling of smug superiority towards those who do profess to a fixed set of beliefs. That right ‘ere ^ is poetry. I thought that was Stephanopoulis’ job. If it looks like a duck, etc. then it’s a duck. When you think your job is to make sure no one speaks against the “prophet” of Islam, then you’re a Muslim. A Jew or a Christian understands liberty because that value is the bedrock of the faith. Besides, Obama is deporting Christians persecuted by ISIS back to the lands from which they come and where they will be killed. That is not the action of a Christian. Where is the human feeling that is part of Judaeo-Christianity? It is absent in Islam and we do not see it reflected in Obama. We consistently see Obama reflecting a lot of Islamic attitudes to Jews and Christians. What, then, must one conclude but that he is a Muslim, given the propensity of Muslims to lie about things to advance an Islamic agenda? Who can disagree that the islamic agenda of the caliphate has been much advanced, even realized? Besides, it is not Trump’s business as candidate to defend Obama in any way or form. I was going to say that at least Trump takes questions from the floor and not staged questions like many democrats, if they even take questions. But then, was this a set up question – it is certainly keeping him in the news cycle. If he had stopped the question and said something about the birthism/religion thing, then everyone will dig up the old Trump quotes. BY letting the guy slide a bit, he looks nuttier than Trump and gives him a way to say that he has evolved from past statements. Sound familiar? I’ll defer to Henry in this matter but I think I have diagnosed Hillary’s condition: Dissociative Campaign Disorder aka Multiple Campaign Disorder. This is a condition wherein a politician’s campaign personality is fragmented into two or more distinct campaigns. I am *shocked* that people still believe Obama is Christian. I suspect that Clinton is also an apostate who left the faith and adopted a pro-planning doctrine. The real shame of it all is that people who need to know what a phony Hillary is do not read blogs like this one. Political machines know that, so Hillary and others say whatever they want to figuring odds are in their favor. It’s the MSM that make a difference. For example, Hillary’s e-mail scandal could not be hidden and that is making a difference in her poll numbers. If the MSM hides the facts, she wins. Given that she has had two dozen years on the national scene, the only people who don’t know Hillary is a phony aren’t likely to learn it no matter what they read. Obama doesn’t wear a wedding ring. That spot was taken years before he was married. It is an Islam ring. Obama doesn’t like to talk about it, but maybe someone should ask him why that Islam ring is more important than a wedding ring. I am shocked and appalled at how Bernie Sanders did NOTHING to quell the disorderly conduct speeches of the blacklivesmatter activists at his rally. He has a responsibility! One’s obligation to punish speech only applies to speech that can be construed to be derogatory to non-Whites or non-Christians. Thus, #BLM’s antics are acceptable. Was the long form Birth Certificate ever really investigated and confirmed or debunked? The last I ever read about it years ago was that it was clearly produced by Photoshop and contained myriad inaccuracies for something purportedly produced 50 years ago. My question: Has this subject been settled, and where can I find up to date information on the settled argument?

ASA Monitor 08 2014, Vol.78, 26-28. A single injection of bupivacaine – currently the longest-duration local anesthetic approved for clinical use in peripheral nerve blocks (bupivacaine or levobupivacaine) – rarely lasts as long as postoperative pain. Therefore, patients often must endure multiple days with insufficient analgesia. Multiple adjuvants may be used to prolong the local anesthetic effects, such as clonidine or epinephrine. However, there is currently no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medication that reliably extends the duration of single-injection epidural or peripheral nerve blocks for over 24 hours. And while continuous peripheral nerve blocks can provide analgesia for multiple days, this modality is frequently not provided by health care providers due to time, financial, hospital and practice structure limitations (e.g., lack of an available provider at night/weekends). A single-injection medication providing multiple days of postoperative analgesia would be a powerful tool for those involved with acute pain medicine. Brian M. Ilfeld; A 4-Day Peripheral Nerve Block?

Turkey vultures are large birds, weighing up to five pounds with wingspans of up to six feet. Their most recognizable feature is the naked read head. The white or ivory beak is short, strong, and hooked. The two nostrils are not divided, so from the side you can see all the way through its beak. In the winter, turkey vultures from the greater Yellowstone ecosystem fly to Mexico or Central America in huge flocks, sometimes migrating alongside other birds like Swainson’s hawks. Vultures perform an important role in this ecosystem. Their binomial name, Cathartes aura, translates to “cleansing wind,” which perfectly describes what they do. Their digestive systems are perfectly suited to cleaning up roadkill, washed-up dead fish, and other recently deceased animals. Turkey vultures are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. It is illegal to take, kill, or possess them. The Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary has the appropriate permits to keep them. Unlike most other birds, turkey vultures have a highly-developed sense of smell that helps them find their preferred food: fresh carrion. They almost never kill their own prey, although some other vulture species, like black vultures, are known to. Since a wild turkey vulture never knows where its next meal is coming from, they will often gorge to the point where they can’t fly, leaving them vulnerable to predation. This leads to an unusual (and rather disgusting) way of defending themselves: projectile vomiting foul-smelling, partially digested meat mixed with stomach acid at the predator’s face. Their load lightened, they can then fly off to safety. At the Sanctuary, our vultures eat a variety of muscle and organ meat, including bone that they can get marrow from. Turkey vultures are gregarious birds. Even though you usually see them flying alone, they gather together to roost at night, sometimes in groups of hundreds. In the wild, turkey vultures live less than 16 years, but they been known to live up to 30 years in captivity. LURCH was found with an injured wing and taken to Ironside Bird Rescue in Cody. Even after surgery, he couldn’t extend his wing fully, so he can’t be released. We believe he was born in 2006. UNCLE FESTER was taken to the Montana Raptor Conservation Center in Bozeman with two fractured bones that had set wrong, making him unable to fly well enough to migrate. He was born in 2010.

My main experience lies within Unity, while also having sufficient C# skills to take my ideas to prototype stages and beyond. I'm constantly trying to put new ideas from initial concept to prototype, in order to improve my baseline knowledge of development. On top of furthering my knowledge, I also enjoy learning new tools and processes to further develop the skills needed to improve my craft. Having worked in multiple facets of development during my studies and my subsequent time after I have gained experience using many tools including; Unity, Trello, Git software (Bitbucket and GitHub), Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, Spriter Pro, Audacity, Adobe Audition and Premiere Pro. As well as my personal projects that I generally post about on my Twitter, I've partaken in several game jams with teams of various shapes and sizes and worked on the likes of; Vect_R, Superhit, Guard on Vermillion Border, Devil Dongers, Bad Gas and several others. My passion for Game Development sprouted from a deep interest in games like Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source throughout my early teenage years. I began my adventure into the Design world by creating levels and moderating content for public servers at the time. This drive to create stuck with me, and now lays the foundation of what I create and why I create it. Worked closely with the Narrative team to Design Quest lines for an Open World RPG.

A Moment of Honesty – Daily Pursuit: Pursuing Jesus Together! I’m not perfect. In fact, I’m far from it. I have a sincere desire to purse Jesus and do His will, but I haven’t always made decisions that reflect full submission to His Lordship. In fact this is an area I’ve struggled with pretty consistently for years. Especially challenging for me has been learning to really hear His voice in the midst of a thousand other voices. Three years ago I was so convinced I was hearing God’s voice, leading and direction, but things didn’t play out as I expected and I was left with two options. Either I can’t hear God’s voice at all or God’s plan for that time in my life was different than I thought it was. I believed it was the latter, but my emotions told me it was the first. In a way I gave up. I didn’t stop loving Jesus, but I did disengage. I stopped believing I could ever truly hear His voice and direction for my life. I made several decisions during this season that weren’t necessarily bad, but weren’t based upon prayerfully following the leading of the Lord. I tried to do things my own way. That’s never an easy thing to admit is it? It happens all the time. We all have moments when we boldly jump into a decision without considering the direction of the Lord. The true test comes once we realize that we stepped towards something God didn’t intend. Sometimes we double down on the wrong direction and just hope God can make something good of it. The struggle I ran into is that I’d gotten so used to doing things my way, I couldn’t recognize His voice. It was no longer familiar. I reached out and sought advice and counsel from many different sources. In difficult decisions we should always seek the peace of the Lord. God’s voice is always assuring and His direction is accompanied by peace. Even when the decision in question is challenging, hard to follow through and will lead to all kinds of mixed emotions, deep down in the presence of Jesus we can have peace. That doesn’t always make things easy, but this is where Faith in the Lord and the willingness to obey Him comes into play. What’s most important to you? The plans we laid or obeying the Lord? For me, I know I want to be in His perfect will at any cost. I’m still working on learning to truly obey Him and hear His voice. Some of you reading this today might relate in my struggle to hear God’s voice. If that’s you, can I encourage you to keep at it. Keep reading the Word and spending time in prayer. Prioritize God over all else and I promise, you will learn to recognize His voice. He is active and wanting to speak to each of us, leading us and directing us down paths of promise. I tried to do things my own way rather than letting God’s voice lead my life. I let other people tell me what God was saying, and while other people can confirm what the Lord is speaking to you, we must listen to the voice of the secret place. I believe the Lord is leading me into a new season of my life. For 8 months now I have been consistently pursuing the Lord in a way I hadn’t for a long time. I believe I am learning to hear His voice again and more importantly obeying that voice. This learning process is part of why my blogs abruptly stopped. I know I had just barely even started this blog, and I stopped. I found myself in an unexpected season where I was empty, broken and needed to fill up on His Word. I lacked motivation and inspiration to write, but I kept my prayer time and Bible reading consistent. I guess today my primary message to you would be that obedience to God is the most important thing. Prayer if not coupled with action, leads to complacency. We must act in a way that pleases the Lord. Next week we will spend some time looking at sin and the result of disobeying the Lord. I hope you’ll join me as we explore the stories of King Saul and Samson and learn some practical steps we can take to overcome sin.

TRIÈST is a suite of one-pass streaming algorithms to compute unbiased, low-variance, high- quality approximations of the global and local (i.e., incident to each vertex) number of triangles in a fully-dynamic graph represented as an adversarial stream of edge insertions and deletions. The algorithms use reservoir sampling and its variants to exploit the user-specified memory space at all times. This is in contrast with previous approaches, which require hard-to-choose parameters (e.g., a fixed sampling probability) and offer no guarantees on the amount of memory they use. We analyze the variance of the estimations and show novel concentration bounds for these quantities. This is joint work with Lorenzo De Stefani, Alessandro Epasto, and Eli Upfal. It received the best student paper award at ACM KDD’16. Matteo Riondato is a Research Scientist in the Labs at Two Sigma Investments and a Visiting Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Brown University.

Asked about projecting a lower growth in gross budgetary support (GBS) in the 12th Plan,hesaid,“Itisacomplete mistaketothinkthat9%(economic growth) is going to come by giving more and more GBS.

If you start relying on GBS, then I think you have already lost out,” he said. Askedwhethertrimming of GBS in the 12th Plan is because of rising fiscal deficit, he said, “How big the fiscal deficit can be is a constraint on amount of public resources that you can use.” Against the government’s Budget estimates of fiscal deficit at 4.6%, the figure is likely to be higher.

PTI In Uttar Pradesh, princely charm out in full force ■ Deepa Jainani Lucknow, Jan 7 H IS day starts at the crack of dawn. After a quick breakfast, he is off to his kshetra, going to every door, meeting people, saluting them, sometimes shaking hands with the younger lot, sitting on their charpoys, having chai with them, taking note of their problems and even getting himself clicked with the family. It is election time in Uttar Pradesh, but this is no ordinary mortal canvassing for votes. He is the Nawab of Rampur, Kasim Ali Khan, aka Navaid Mian, who is contesting the Suar Tanda assembly seat in Rampur on a Congress ticket — one of the many descendents of rulers who are out to see if their royal lineage can be useful in politics. But life has come full circle. Because while he may be a king, Navaid Mian's erstwhile ‘sub- Feudal powers gone, several royals contesting assembly polls for a taste of political power jects’ realise they are now the king makers. So trying hard to convince them that he is the ‘right’ choice to look after their welfare, and that only the Congress can help solve the problems of the state, is a daily challenge for Navaid Mian, son of former MP from Rampur, Begum Noor Bano. More so, as it has been less than a week that he is back in the Congress fold. He won the last Assembly elections on an SP ticket, but resigned almost immediately to join the BSP after the Mayawati government came to power. He later won the byelection in August 2007 from the same seat on a BSP ticket. “Mayawati’s government has done nothing for the development of the people, and everyone in that party is very greedy Congress is the party that . will usher in a change in your life. It is the party of development,” he tells the people, imploring them to trust him once again and FROM ROYALTY TO POLITY ‘ROYAL’ CONTESTANTS IN UP POLLS ESTATE ASSEMBLY CONSTITUENCY PARTY Raja Anand Singh Manakpur, Gonda Goura, Gonda SP Kunwar Ajay Pratap Singh Bargadikot, Gonda Karnailganj BSP SP Raja Mayankeshwar Sharan Singh Tiloi, Rae Bareli Tiloi Deat Ranjit Singh Judeo Samthar, Jhansi Garautha Congress Kunwar Raghuraj Pratap Singh Bhadri, Pratapgarh Kunda Independent Kunwar Ujjwal Raman Singh Baraon, Allahabad Karchchana SP Nawab Kasim Ali Khan Rampur Suar Tanda Congress Raja Jai Pratap Singh Bansi, Basti Bansi BJP Kunwar Shivendra Singh Siswa, Maharajganj Siswa SP Rani Amita Singh Amethi Amethi Congress Raja Mahendra Aridaman Singh Bhadavar Agra Bah SP Illustration: Shyam help him return to power with a thumping majority . But Maharani of Amethi, Amita Singh, is more confident in her role as politician. Contest- ing from the Amethi Assembly constituency on a Congress ticket, she is out the whole day, mingling with the people on whom rests her political future. Danc- ing to the tunes of a dhol on the occasion of a marriage or attending a condolence meet on someone’s demise, participating at a Ram katha or congratulating someone on the birth of a boy, having tea in a kulhad or eating dal-roti at a humble home—Amita Singh is as adept at all these as she was at playing national-level badminton in her hey days. Princely states abound in UP. While some royals have played safe and pledged their loyalties to the Congress, there are others who have enrolled with the BJP, while some have joined the SP and BSP. Few others have also found the courage to confront the bigger parties and contest as independent candidates. There are some like the raja of Rampura estate in Bundelhand, Keshavendra Singh, who have never tasted electoral politics before this election. Raised in the tea estates of Kerala, where his father worked as a manager, far away from the maddening dust of politics that was a part of his own father’s life, Keshavendra Singh is back in his ‘kingdom’. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather, he is getting ready to hit the dusty trails in Madhopur on an SP ticket. People of the area are eying him with a mixture of awe, respect and caution, but realise at the same time that they hold the key to his political future. Even strongmen like the Raja of Bhadri estate in Kunda, Pratapgarh, Raghuraj Pratap Singh know the worth of their ‘subjects’. Having been jailed and facing many criminal charges, he is contesting the Assembly electionsforthefifthtimefromKunda as an independent candidate, and trying hard to woo the masses. Democracy may have diluted theexistenceof thefeudalroyalty , but these erstwhile rulers, including those of Mankapur and Karnailganj estates in Gonda, Samthar estate in Jhansi, Tiloi estate in Rae Bareli, Karchchna estate, in Allahabad, Siswa estate in Maharajganj, are now using it to revive their glory and power.

RERA Andhra Pradesh – All about it ! RERA Andhra Pradesh was set up under the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act, 2016. The State Government has already published the Andhra Pradesh Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act, 2017, the full copy of which can be found on the official Andhra Pradesh RERA website. All builders, developers, and real estate agents are required to follow the rules mentioned in the act and failure to do so may result in strict actions taken against them. Real estate developers need to submit many details for the registration of project which involves information regarding promoter, co-promoters, plan approvals, Time schedule, Location details of project, Bank account of the project, Associate details etc. For step by step understanding of filing online application, one can refer Guidelines for Registration page. Ensuring Transparency & Efficiency in real estate sector in regards to sale of plot, apartment, building or real estate project. It establishes the State Real Estate Regulatory Authority as the government body to be approached for redressal of grievances against any builder. law vests authority on the real estate regulator to govern both residential and commercial real estate transactions. law makes it mandatory for developers to post all information on issues such as project plan, layout, government approvals, land title status, sub-contractors to the project, schedule for completion with the AP Real Estate Regulatory Authority (APRERA) and then in effect pass this information on to the consumers.
