Kit Harington: Extreme Violence in 'Game of Thrones' Is Reflection of Daily News The actor who plays Jon Snow says the show isn't gratuitous when it comes to death Game of Thrones may be awash in grizzly, barbaric death almost every episode, but its star Kit Harington — otherwise known as Jon Snow — doesn't think it's a problem. Speaking to the Radio Times, the British actor said that the manner in which it's portrayed onscreen makes it acceptable. "I don't see a problem with it because you mostly always feel the consequences of that person dying," he said. "In Thrones it's war, and awful, awful things happen, as we see on the news daily. And if we've got an appetite for watching these things on the news, then you can't shy away from it on cable drama." Read more Kit Harington: "Curse" of 'Game of Thrones' Is "Lifetime of Having to Talk About It" The 27-year-old, who has just finished shooting the fifth season of the hit HBO show, added that in showing the impact of the numerous deaths, it isn't gratuitous. "In Thrones, as much as they bury the dead they see very quickly there is an impact that those deaths have, which I'm constantly playing. People are always dying around me in Thrones."

What use is an F-call? I recently spent some time talking about the Grey Line, about the way it moves around and how it will help you make contacts along its path. If you recall, the direction of the Grey Line changes throughout the year. As the tilt of the earth affects the direction of the sun on your head, it also affects the shadow line that's drawn across the planet as sun-set and sun-rise occur at your QTH. Of course, you already know this. We experience this change as our seasons. So, if the Grey Line changes direction, the obvious question is, "Which way should you point your antenna?" If you are using a vertical, there isn't much pointing going on, but if you have anything that is rotating, even a mobile station qualifies, there is benefit in actually aligning yourself with the Grey Line. Of course you can look online and see a lovely Grey Line map and use that, but that does require that you have access to the Internet, or a phone with an App or some other technology. But you don't really have to get that technical at all. The antenna you're using has a beam-width that is going to be several degrees wide and local environmental factors are going to impact on your experience, so, here's some figuring. At the equinox, the Grey Line runs North - South, that is, twice a year around 20 March and 22 September. For our quick and dirty calculation, March and September is more than accurate enough. At summer and winter solstice, 21 December and 21 June, the Grey Line runs at the maximum angle, the tilt of the earth, 23.5 degrees. So, every quarter of the year, the Grey Line moves about 23 degrees, call it 21 degrees. So every month the Grey Line moves by about 7 degrees. This is about equal to the width of a man's fist held at arm's length. (104mm) So in December, you'll see the Grey Line running at about a bearing of 21 degrees, in January, about 14 degrees, in February about 7, in March about 0, that is North, and so on. Now the only tricky part is, which way do you go around 0 degrees? Is February 7 degrees east, or 7 degrees west of North? It depends on whether you're north or south of the equator. Here in VK, February is East, April is West, August is East, October is West. To remember that, think that the Grey Line is a FEAST. February is East and August is East. Have fun working the Grey Line. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Q: XPath: Selecting a node based on another nodes value I am trying to use a single XPath expression to select a node that has a child node which matches another node in the document. A match would mean that ALL attributes of the node are the same. So if a node was being compared with several attributes doing individual attribute comparisons would be unmaintainable. As an example given the following: <Network> <Machines> <Machine Name = "MyMachine"> <Services> <ServiceDetails Description="MyService" Executable="c:\Myservice.exe" DisplayName="My Service" Version="5"/> </Services> </Machine> ... </Machines> <Services> <Service Name = "Service1"> <ServiceDetails Description="MyService" Executable="c:\Myservice.exe" DisplayName="My Service" Version="5"/> </Service> ... </Services> </Network> I want to get the service node from Services based on the ServiceDetails listed under MyMachine. I thought it would look something like: //Services/Service[ServiceDetails = //Machines/Machine[@Name='MyMachine']/ServiceDetails] but it doesn't seem to work. I suspect the '=' operator isn't handling the node comparison correctly. I think there are some XPath 2.0 Methods that might work but I am using .NET 4.0 (System.XML namespace) I do not know if I can use them. If XPath 2.0 methods would help here I would really appreciate an explanation on how to use them in .Net 4.0. Thanks A: Use: /*/Services/Service [ServiceDetails/@Description = /*/Machines/Machine[@Name = "MyMachine"] /Services/ServiceDetails/@Description ]

Ensuring quality data no matter the phase: data management considerations. Phase 1 Phase 1 studies tend to be relatively short in duration with a small number of healthy subjects - which can mean a somewhat lower volume of clinical data for data management to handle. Often, a Phase 1 study is conducted at a single site, or taking place in a specialized Phase 1 unit . This can imply a lower level of communication complexity with fewer stakeholders than a multi-site later phase study. However, it’s important to bear in mind that the sponsor stakeholders will have a keen safety focus- so the data management team needs to adapt their communication style accordingly. Because the Phase 1 unit will generally handle procedures at a specified time point, this may mean that data will come through to data management in sets rather than on an ongoing basis. Resourcing should be appropriately applied to handle this work flow, ensuring data is addressed as it comes in. Finally, an important aspect of Phase 1 studies is that set up may often take longer than conduct, and the protocol itself can remain fairly volatile up until First Patient In. This can make the database set up more challenging, so flexibility and responsiveness from the data management vendor is critical. Phase 2 and Phase 3 Phase 2 and 3 studies will be robust and rigidly controlled, focusing on dose requirements and treatment effect. The studies are generally longer in duration and result in the handling of more data. In Phase 3 studies, timelines become increasingly important with sponsors often engaged in a ‘race to market’. This means that observance of timelines in data management- from database set up, through to data base lock is crucial as delays may be costly. It’s important to bear in mind that while set up time for an EDC system may delay starting, it will lead to higher quality data and swifter database lock at the end of the study. During Phase 3, the patient experience may be incorporated into the clinical database with quality of life data and questionnaires. An ePRO system may be used which can integrate with the chosen EDC system, or increasingly this is approached as an integral part of the EDC system itself. Since these studies will be multi-site, the data manager will have to handle a higher volume, and greater complexity of communication. Here, the sponsor as well as the clinical operations groups will be key stakeholders. Phase 4 In Phase 4 studies, marketing and safety groups are key stakeholders. These studies may be following patients over a longer period of time, examining treatment effectiveness, benefit and risk. Since these studies are observing what is happening in a real-life setting, the data collection approach needs to reflect this with a streamlined design which facilitates clean data at the point of entry. Whereas in randomized clinical trials, the sites are clinical trial ‘savvy’ and familiar not only with the clinical data collection approach, but often with the specific EDC system itself, in an observational setting the sites may only be dealing with data from a handful of subjects. Therefore ease of use of any EDC system needs to be a primary factor. Cytel's data management group is experienced across all phases of development. The team successfully implement top notch clinical trial software packages, standards(CDASH) in case report forms and reporting(SDTM), perform efficient database builds and relevant data cleaning, and design operational support functions allowing end users to accomplish their tasks in a more streamlined manner.

mytest UPDATES ON TWITTER: arudoudebito DEBITO.ORG PODCASTS now on iTunes, subscribe free Hi Blog. I didn’t do an update yesterday for a good reason — I was really quite overwhelmed in Edmonton. Went to an excellent dentist on Tuesday, who saw a lot of work to be done and brought me back Wednesday and Thursday for three appointments of ultrasound and scaling (removal of buildup on teeth), one more appoint for x-rays (three, one that spins around your mouth) and some probing for cavities, one more for a periodontal check (I’m clear of it, but definitely have gingivitis), then two more appointments for replacement of fillings (four) and filling new cavities (five — one tooth was so bad in the back they had to remove about 60% of it above the gumline, since the decay had gone around an old filling and spread throughout underneath — I didn’t even have a toothache). All manner of facial dams were constructed and new types of novocaine, ones that don’t look like horse needles going in, were administered. It wasn’t a comfortable experience, to be sure, but it wasn’t painful (I had a tooth pulled at age 7 or 8 — that set me on the straight and narrow when it comes to cleaning my teeth assiduously; five cavities at once were the first fillings I’ve had in about fifteen years.) And all told, I spent about 9 and a half hours in the dentist chair. Boy my mouth feels awful, but my teeth feel good (so good I think I’d rather take my food intravenously for awhile). But why is this a Debito.org issue? Well, tangentially it is, since dentistry I consider to be a very lagging science in Japan (not ten years ago I had to search hard just to find a dentist in Sapporo who would wear gloves! That’s something that sends tremors amongst my overseas dentists when I tell them). Case in point: Just look at the awful bridgework you see in old people around you (and full dentures are not at all uncommon — both my ex-parents in law had them). Some of my students even today come to class with very inflamed sides of their mouth (some meat or seafood stuck in their teeth they just can’t dislodge with the ubiquitous toothpick), and when I recommend floss they say they’ve never even heard of it! I’m told (and I can’t substantiate right now; Debito.org Readers, douzo) that in Japan’s medical exam system, people get licensed for particular practices depending on their scores. The people on the bottom go into dentistry. That rings true to me, anyway. My last teeth cleaning (in Japan) was about five years ago — and it was so bad (the doc wore gloves but a very stained smock) that they gave me an ultrasound (no scaling below the gums afterwards), then a flossing — and snapped the floss on what was left behind. I told them to start again. Cost 3000 yen all told. Got what I paid for. No doubt the black calculus that my dental hygienist scraped out (and proudly showed me a huge fleck of) was missed back then. Ugh. So, how are other people’s experiences with dentistry in Japan? Anyone know a good periodontist — if dentistry in Japan even specializes that far? Floor is open to discussion. Arudou Debito in Edmonton 32 comments on “Tangent: Dentistry in Canada, wow, what a difference!” Debito, I concur. I had lots of work done in Osaka by a local guy between 1992 and 1995, all of which just fell out on a regular basis! Small, partial inlays, without foundational support, and done without sufficient pain-killer either. My last trip was to a Hong Kong trained dentist in Sakai-shi, who removed all the previously done and re-done work, and they’re still intact. I mentioned this to a dentist student after all this, and was told, no kidding, that “Japanese dentistry is not suitable for foreign mouths.” Suffice it to say I see only dentists trained for my kind of mouth after that! We’ve had mixed luck with dentists. Our kids LOVE their dentist. Only the middle of the 3 has had anything more than a cleaning done (he has 1 tooth that is “soft” – you can definitely see the difference in the tooth when you brush his teeth since it looks white and chalky rather than pearly and shiny) and even he loved his dentist. That being said after I had a tooth that broke (the middle of the tooth literally broke off leaving a C shaped hole and an exposed nerve in the middle while I was eating some mochi) and went in to see a dentist who proceeded to poke the nerve multiple times with his probe I decided it was less painful to wait 2 weeks and get it fixed on my next trip to the USA (clove oil does wonders to angry nerves if you ever have to deal with something like that). I look at it like we looked at having our kids (2 of the 3 were born in Japan). We had a terrible time finding a doctor who would give my wife an epidural (love her – why experience the pain of childbirth if you don’t have to?) They all viewed it as unnecessary, one actually told her she should be able to handle the pain and didn’t need an epi. It took some searching but eventually we found 2 doctors who had no problem with it. It might be a training thing. It might just be that they’re jerks. Hard to say since if you look hard (or you luck out) you can find good doctors/dentists in Japan. Went to a local butcher who, err…butchered me. It was so bad that a New Zealand dentist (in NZ) took one look in my mouth and said: you’ve been to Japan, haven’t you. Now I see Naoko Freeeman in Tokyo. She’s awesome:. GROSS! Do you have chronic bad breath? — Not that I know of. I brush and mouthwash shortly after every meal, sometimes before class. My experience has been disastrous in general. I needed routine cleaning a few years back, and they said I had to come in SIX times! Each time the guy, or actually the assistant, was going to clean three or four teeth. No more. Forget it! Had it done in the USA, all finished in under an hour. Fillings or crowns I had done in Japan were so bad that they always hurt (different dentist from the above) and gums were bleeding. They were all taken out and replaced by an aghast dentist in the USA and have been fine ever since. I could tell you horror stories about experiences by a friend who had lots of root canals done here. Sends shivers up my spine. They were all operated out in the USA some years later, to the tune of 25,000 dollars. But no problem since. In general I find Japanese dentistry is at the level of the third world, thanks to ancient technology, nepotistic practices, bad or no teaching in dental schools, and an insurance system that rewards frequent and useless visits. I’m sure that there are some exceptions, if you really hunt. Just like there are plenty of incompetents in the USA and elsewhere. The problem though, is finding a good dentist. Internet rating sites are utterly useless, and word of mouth and recommendations by Japanese friends are not much better. People here are simply used to the quack-ish procedures and can’t imagine anything else. Buyer beware! The only good thing about it here is that it is cheap. If you stick to the low-grade items insurance covers. Anything else is actually just as much as elsewhere, for uninsured people. I have over $30,000 USD stuck in my mouth. Back in December the cement on one side of my permanent retainer gave out. I need it recemented but I think I will wait until I return to the US to get it fixed. I had my 1/2 fake tooth (rebuilt with cement but wait for crown while other work pended) broke while I was studying abroad here. It was my front tooth so I needed it fixed ASAP. I went to a guy in Roppongi who got his degree in Hawaii. He was okay, and rebuilt my tooth fine, but I would have much rathered had my American dentist who would have done an excellent job instead. Debito Sounds like you’ve been eating at Izakayas too much. They do offer ‘cheap’ food, but the ingredients are shocking. Most cheap places to eat in japan are shockingingly poor quality and bears no relationship with real Japanese food…or even food! They are made full of sugar/mirin and/or salt. I avoid them like the plague. Japanese don’t realise that their healthy cuisine has been taken over by the “convenience” culture that exists in the west. Not surprsing when they, like my wife, work 8am to 11pm daily! Look at any 7/11 or Lawsons…cheap ready made food. Jusco’s etc all the same, but just slightly better….just stick to sushi/sashimi if you buy convenience food from supermarkets!! Everyone is shocked that i make my own dashi stock, fresh everyday, for example. I make most of my own pickles and so on. Oyakadon etc, all a peice of piss to make…It aint hard, just a bit time consuming (but once you have made the dashi stock, many are quick to make), but, just make plenty of stock to last several days. As for dentistry. There is no social welfare here, that’s why. Ergo people only go when reall reall desparate!!. In the UK, where I am from, we had regular check ups every 6months for years, all paid for until i was about 20-ish, when the then Govt. chnaged the rules. Now we pay a bit, not much. Dentists in the UK were poor too in the 70s, but now, excellent. Private ones bloody expensive too! If Japan had a social program to make free all dentistry, paid for by the Gov.t for say a set period of time, 5 years etc, or for children until 18 (get them when they are young)…it would clean up the system, pun intended. It would also promote better dentistry and food culture too. “..Tell mother to stop using so much sugar to brighten up the cheap ingredients!!..” I waited a few months, after my fillings of some 30 years fell out last year, until i went back to the UK. Very quick and excellent job. Not expensive either. My dentist Nakai san is great- friendly, no nonsense, quick PAINLESS and cheap. My prior Japanese dentist, a woman, was great. In fact she saved a tooth rather than just fill it. I’ve only had two dentists in Japan over a total of about 15 years here and these were just local ones, you know, not for gaijin or expats. My wife had an issue with a dentist she used to go with a filling, but she switched to someone in Yotsuya and no problem. I had mixed luck in the UK, but that was going back 20 years ago. Is there supposed to be something wrong with Japanese dentists? In my area lots of good dentists, and lots of bad. Just have to look around. Rule of thumb—go to a young dentist–guys under 40 will give the best and highest tech treatments. I live in Iwate. I found a dentist in the small town I was living at a few years ago. He is very modern, and often goes to seminars overseas. He cleans the whole mouth, ultrasound scaling, he has top of the line x-ray… , good price. I think i pay about ¥1500 a visit, and that is cleaning the whole mouth. A good dentist, i think. Considering stories i have heard from friends who live in nearby towns, My dentist sounds wonderful. And it is strange that he has his practice in a small town. I have recommended him to many friends. One good friend even had all fillings replaced with white porcelain fillings and now has a nice white smile. I believe there are more good, modern dentists out there. However, finding a good dentist in your area is a challenge. Just like finding a good doctor. It’s all a crap shoot. The only “rule” I’ve found is never go to a dentist that is open on Sundays, offers “free consultation” etc. Basically signs they are desperate for customers. I had to use one because of my schedule after years without a trip 5 fillings and a root canal last year. Of course, each filling was done individualy and each required 3-4 trips. All HIS fillings started to fall out within 6 months, starting with the root canal cap which always hurt anyway. Currently going to a competent dentist, much further away, on weekdays, to replace everything, plus completely remove one tooth that had rotted away, bad fillings seem to be very good at collecting bits of food and making things much worse. The comedy is I had an appointment every 2 weeks or so, and during each 2 week period, another of the quack’s fillings had fallen out. He also does cosmetic dentistry, maybe that’s a good thing? Yet I still had to argue that the quack who did the root canal didn’t actually remove all the nerve, thus my need to pound my fist into a table any time I slip up and drink something hot. Japanese dentistry has meant that I basically can’t enjoy any cold or hot foods, hopefully my new dentist can solve this problem. Or maybe Japan could start FLOURIDATION?!?!?! I suppose the dentists lobby is against it. I have always gone to recommended dentists here in Tokyo and have had good results. The one time I chose the dentist without asking around, I got manhandled and over charged. I have never had anything more than a cleaning done, but I have always been satisfied, and never paid more than 1000 yen. They always tell me to come back every 6 months and have taught me how to properly brush and floss. The one thing that I am surprised they don’t do is: recommend mouthwash like listerine. I have used it religiously since I was around 13 and I have never had a filling. Debito san, In Canada going to the dentist is not covered through the Canadian National Medical Plan, unless you have a private or company plan which most people do not have in Canada. I am more then happy with the dental care here in Japan, it helps to have a good friend who is a dentist. But one thing I have found here in Japan the dentists are in to much of a rush, the more patients the more money they make this is why the work in Japan is not that good. I would like to know if Japan does the FLOURIDATION of the water like Canada and America. I really for all of you who have suffered with the dentist here. I cringe every time I have to go in. It is worse for me since I had a license in the States as a dental assistant. Japan is getting better, but certainly lags behind in dental care and hygenic practices… What have I have found is that many Japanese dentists do not update their skills. Therefore getting a young dentist is key, as is someone who goes overseas and to seminars. If they can perform advanced proceedures (implants and the like )they might be current. I go in for a simple treatment, usually a cleaning, and then I give the doctor the third degree. Dentistry is really about the details. If I tell them I have a license and they don’t freak, they maybe a keeper. If they ask you how much money you are willing to spend upfront… run away. Here is a great guy in Nagasaki…. Debito Interesting tangent.As I have perfect teeth (don’t ask me why) I never had more than a clean and polish once every few years while I was in Japan.My wife, on the other hand, being Japanese has had problems with the bone under her gum, the foundation for her teeth slowly melting away-seems to be an ethnic thing.Anyway, long story short when she was in Japan one tooth in particular was wobbly due to the lack of underlying bone and used to get filled with pus due to the empty space.The Japanese dentists she went to would only clean the infection and would make excuses like it would be a waste of a good tooth to remove it etc. When we both emigrated to Australia the first dentist she went to took it out saying it should have been done years ago.Since then she has had no trouble whatsoever.The only reason I can think of is that the Japanese dentists wanted to stretch the treatment out as long as possible for the financial benefit. Doug Lucky are those people who have a lot of choice when it comes to dentists and can find work of acceptable quality. IMO what has happened here is that seniority rules the Dental Association old guys, old methods, old technology, plus the super high cost of upgrading your equipment, dentists graduates goes into big debt to set up a practice and can’t really afford to upgrade their offices. Watch the guys at work juggling 3-4 patients at a time 2 minutes here, 3 minutes at the next patient, 5 minutes, add to that the need to churn the insurance system to be properly paid. Why does the dentist need gloves? How many people are HIV positive in Hokkaido? 1 in 50,000? USA 1 in 150? “Japan has recorded 9,953 HIV cases and 4,671 AIDS cases as of August 2008. Of those, 6,503 HIV and 3,002 AIDS cases were in the Kantō region.” — There are lots more reasons to wear gloves than just to prevent AIDS. Nongloved hands have fingernails with stuff under them, for starters. In Nagoya my Chinese friend reccomended me a dentist, who, as it turned out, worked with most of my ryuugakusei friends and they all were satisfied with him. I also reccomended him to a foreign student, and she liked him. Compared to my coutry where dentists are mostly expensive butchers with cheap low quality equipment and poor hygiene,the health insurance covers exactly one filling, any other operation you must pay for.You must stand the pain because otherwise the butcher…sorry, the dentist treats you like a sissy. Of course I would love the clean well equipped clinic and the polite, friendly and skillful doctor and nurses.. Before going there in my home country I hated going to dentist and didn’t, especially with these prices.I had a cavity filled before going to Japan and it fell 2 months later.This year when I went back to my country, I had to go 4 times for a simple not very well made filling, while in Japan I needed to go only once. And its much cheaper than in my home country. So yes, I prefer to have my teeth done in Japan. — You’re lucky your J dentist made you come only once for a filling. James “..Why does the dentist need gloves?..” Why bother washing your hands then, if you feel the gloves have no value…you should also tell all those outlets that have free alcohol based antiseptic gel to remove them too. The hospitals would save a fortune, great idea 🙂 Reading all the stories here, I’m really, really glad I didn’t chance going to a dentist in Japan. A while back one of my teeth literally broke in half… but when I asked my senpai where to go, she said I’d best wait until I go back to Romania for the summer and see a dentist there. I see what she meant now. The best I found Dr. Naito in Hiroo. He doesn`t accept NHI, but I don`t care I have expat insurance. Often need to wait for appo 3-4 weeks, busy guy. I feel so relaxed there and Dr. Naito knows what he is doing. Usually it takes 1-2 visit and is over. He spends with you 1h, not 3min. My Japanese wife goes there too. We cannot imagine to go elsewhere anymore, after all “sh***” around. When I came to Japan 10 years ago I didn`t know the system. I realized when I had to come back 20 times with one tooth. I screamed to dentist saying what are you F*** think? Left after 18th times and finished somewhere else. Another visit was also 7 times. Dentist played too long with my tooth. My intuition told me to stop him and I listened. I asked dentist what is he doing? He told me we need crown. I said WHAT!!!!! In Europe they cover with white filling and is fine, you see all my teeth? So, you do the same. By the way, how much you want for crown, 7man?! 10man? Answer: Uuuummmm…shhh…7man. Well, I said. Just cover and stop playing and digging up. My tooth is fine till today. I thought paying 100% without NHI abuse will make everything different but it won`t. [epithet deleted]. They are trained to abuse system and make as much money as possible. # Why bother washing your hands then, if you feel the gloves have no value…you should also tell all those outlets that have free alcohol based antiseptic gel to remove them too. The hospitals would save a fortune, great idea 🙂 # Ode last time I did an online search there were ‘absolutely no double blind studies that proved that infection rates dropped with the use of antiseptic gel’ Infection rates do drop with washing your hands with hot water and soap (especially so with anti-bacterial and antiseptic soaps). Massively so! They have clean hands weeks in NA! How many times do schools or classes get closed in NA compared to Japan? The points I’m trying to make (thank you John K.for the help) we want to do things because they lead to ‘proven’ better health outcomes. Not because a soap antiseptic gel company has convinced the public or the public has convinced itself to buy their product. Do the masks people wear in Japan prevent infections or the transmission of colds, viruses and infectious bacteria? Whether or not gloves are proven to lead to better health outcomes for all work done in dental offices or for any work done there; the North American public demands gloves. No dentist would have patients if they didn’t use gloves. I don’t believe a dentist could get malpractice insurance either. IMO if all dentists in Japan wore gloves all the time it would not lead to better dental practice, better dental health outcomes, and significantly fewer post procedure infections. Retiring( I was going to say shoot) the geriatrics who control the services offered by J dentists, and retire the bureaucrats who set the insurance fees paid to them for work done. Opening up the inputs dentists buy to do dentistry to competitive suppliers. Improving patient knowledge, requiring dentists to attend upgrading classes, making dentists ask permission before commencing treatment, making dentists communicate and use micro cameras. Making dentists publicize what they do, how they do it and what they charge. Allowing the public to get various types of insurance and dentists to set alternative treatment and fees. Making the current National health insurance schemes cover alternative treatment and preventative dentistry. Fluoridating water and teeth. All of these listed above would have much larger benefits to dental health outcomes than gloves. IMO talking about gloves only delays the real changes that are required for things to get better. Would I like my J dentist to do a lot of things differently, yes. Do I care that he doesn’t use gloves since I’ve watched how thoroughly he washes his hands, no. James The mystiques are health and hygine are very distorted, in my opinion, here in Japan. […] Wearing masks etc, all part of this ‘culture’ of appearance! […] You cite “..Do the masks people wear in Japan prevent infections or the transmission of colds, viruses and infectious bacteria?..” No. These masks work for approx 1hour, after that they are worse than if not wearing one. Decent very expensive surgical masks only work for about 3 hours. So, everyone wearing a nice white mask, because they are ill, has no relationship with preventing the spread of viruses etc. Image again.[…] The use of gels etc, have proven to be ‘clinically’ effective in studies in the UK and Holland, for the prevention of spreading MRSA. Notwhithstanding all the above…would you go to a dentist that does not wear gloves, and as i have seen many times […] — Need links to substantiate claims of mask time limits. This is out of topic but I take exception to Mark in Kanto’s assertion that Japanese dentists are as bad as so-called Third World dentists. Those dentists may be practicing in poorer countries but it does not necessarily mean that they are ill-trained. Has he ever tried getting any dental work in a Third World country to make that kind of conclusion? A little sensitivity and reflection, please. Had 14 teeth worked on at a local dentist about 5 years ago, and the whole experience was cheap, pain free (only used an anaesthetic once, despite performing a root canal, a reconstruction, and adding 7 crowns) and high quality. I’d put off going to the dentist for years after my many awful experiences at British butchers (hence the extensive treatment needed), but now I find the whole experience perfectly pleasant, and I often leave in a better mood than when I go in. Maybe I just got lucky and found a good one, but it’s not in a high population area or anything. I can think of a couple of excellent dentists in the Tokyo area. For general dentistry (cavities, etc.), I recommend Dr. Fumio Miyamoto of the Miyamoto Dental Clinic in the Sheraton Miyako Hotel in Shiroganedai. Dr. Miyamoto can speak some English, specializes in pain-free dentistry, and has had many foreign patients: For orthodontics (invisible braces) by a fluent English speaker at a reasonable price – actually I an quite certain he is the cheapest in Japan – contact Dr. Okito Honzawa at Shiroganedai Orthodontics at the following URL: I can fully vouch for both of them. They are just wonderful dentists. My dentist is awesome. He’s called Iwanaga and he has his own practice in Shinjuku where his Dad had a practie years before. He has no need to work to meet financial needs and does it for the love of it. so, no complaints here – choose wisely and you’ll be OK – but get a reccomendation or even better get it done back home then you won’t be able to blame it on Japan. Remember – this is a third world country with first world toys The car in front, is a Toyota I’ve had serious dental problems off and on since I crashed a car and lost a number of teeth in the process, back in 1972. I was fortunate to have a very good dentist do all the restoration work at that time, including a permanent bridge. Well, permanent in this case means about 20 years. Sure enough, nearly 20 years to the month, my bridge began to come loose. At that time I was living in Osaka and had national health insurance. A friend recommended a dentist and to be perfectly honest I was terrified at the thought of visiting him. Some of this fear stems from the fact that I had experienced panic attacks for the first time a year earlier. I made it to the office and was surprised to find a row of five chairs fairly close together with no partitions between them. A seemingly regular occurrence in Japan but an unusual and uncomfortable experience for me. I spoke with the doctor and noticed that there were two tanks on nitrous oxide against the wall. They had a pretty thick layer of dust covering them. I explained that when I had the original restoration work done the dentist used nitrous oxide along with injections of anesthesia. Well, this dentist said that it would be impossible to use the gas. No reason give. After about 15 minutes of activity, I told him to please stop and I left, preferring a loose bridge to the treatment I was receiving. A few years later I had a very bad tooth, a back molar I believe, and had to go to a dentist. I visited a clinic recommended by a Japanese friend who was a dental supply salesman. I thought that taro should know where I should go. Mistake! After a brief examination, again in a room with a number of patients being treated at once, I was informed that I would need to have the tooth extracted. I had no problem with that since my main concern was relief of the pain I had been experiencing. After the first injection of a local anesthesia one doctor tried to pull the tooth. Nothing! Only more intense pain. Another injection followed buy another session of yanking on my tooth with no success. After about five injections, the last few I firmly believe contained no anesthesia (placebo), and three different dentists straddling me while attempting to gain leverage to remove the tooth, I left the office just as I had arrived with the painful tooth still in my mouth. When I arrived in Okayama a year or two later I had severe pain again and visited Okayama University Dental Hospital. What a completely different experience. I was assigned to one doctor who had studied at New York University and another who had been at the University of Michigan. They were both accustomed to the needs of American patients (pain killers, not zen techniques at endurance and explanations of procedures. Well the one dentist has moved on and the other has been promoted so he no longer treats patients on a regular basis, yet all those who have treated me since have been very professional and competent. I can put up with multiple visits knowing that I am receiving quality care. I have even fallen asleep during root canal procedure on two occasions. This was no doubt due to the confidence I had in the doctor and his chairside manner. I guess the bottom line of this long-winded post is that it is not the country per se, but the individual who provides the service that counts most. As an expat American I feel a need to add that the cost of my treatments has been relatively inexpensive compared to any treatment in the states. In the past two weeks I had four roots removed (one two-hour session) and a new removable denture fitted for a total cost of about $75. To be honest, I think that if I relocated in Japan I’d return to Okayama for future treatment. I get my teeth cleaned here once-twice annually and that’s it. I have had some minor repairwork done in Bangkok (they don’t dilly-dally and make you come back after a week for a stupid filling!) and I will go there for more work in the future, should I need it. Even without insurance it is very reasonable. When first arrived to Japan, I found out that I had dental insurance. Decided to get rid of all my old mercury filling. Heard that the mercury in your mouth is dangerous and wanted to swap them with plastic. Had about eight or nine mercury fillings swapped. Went to a large and well known dental hospital in Fukushima once a week, and it took a few weeks to swap them all out. Anyway, after done, most or all of the replacements fell out within three years. Had to get them redone. Not fun. That said, still glad to get rid of that darm mercury. Looking at Japanese teeth, it pretty clear that Japanese dentistry is overall really pretty bad. Cannot fathom why with all the expensive crap one can buy here, that dental care not paramount. My dentist here is very good. However he is a Japanese educated at both Japanese and US dental schools. He is the only one (of 4 I have seen here) who doesn’t instist on removing all my old US amalgam fillings and replace them with new ones. When I first got here, I used a dentist who did not take health insurance. Excellent care, but costly. Now, I have a dentist who takes health insurance and was trained in the US, speaks English, and is westernized. Excellent care. Jeff — Care to share his name and place of practice?

Mebane to Move Over? Posted by on Mar 2, 2009 04:45 ShareTweetby: Chris Sullivan Eric Williams has an excellent piece speculating on how Colin Cole will fit in with the Seahawks. Williams argues that with Cole clearly filling up an enormous amount of space (6’1″, 330 lbs) he is the natural fit for a one-tech tackle. Cole is not freakishly fast or athletic, which is also typical of a one-tech, and his main skill is likely to be filling space and stopping running backs. Williams speculates that Brandon Mebane (Seahawk Addicts‘ team MVP 2008) will move over to the three-tech position. Mebane has proven that he is fast and disruptive when given the opportunity; he led the team in sacks last year with 5.5 with practically no help from the rest of the defense. Mebane has a very quick first step and long arms that help him keep blockers off him, despite being somewhat short for a DT (between 6’1″ and 6’3″ depending on who you listen to). When Mebane was entering the draft, he was scouted as being capable of playing nose tackle in a 3-4 or either position in a 4-3. His strong suit, however? Three-technique tackle. This makes it very clear to me why the Hawks would go after Cole, who comes at a small price (relatively speaking). With only $5 million guaranteed, he’s a very low-risk acquisition. With Canty out of the fold, I imagine Cole / Bryant + Mebane in the middle is fairly close to what we’ll see for a few years to come. Brandon Mebane has proven that he can be the centerpiece of our defense, and using him in a three-tech should allow him to flex his muscle, speed and talent best. And, in a related note, excellent work by Eric Williams, who has reinvigorated the Seahawks Insider since taking over for Frank Hughes. END ShareTweetSeahawks Tickets About View all posts by →

Dear Stillwater School Community, This letter is to inform you that at last night’s Board of Education meeting, the Board accepted the resignation of Elementary School Principal Paul Morcone, who was recently appointed as an elementary principal within the Granville Central School District. Mr. Morcone has already shared this information with his staff and he will be sending a letter home to our elementary families this week. I want to personally thank Mr. Morcone for all he has done during his time in Stillwater. Over the past five years, I have seen Mr. Morcone grow as an administrator, as he has brought some great ideas to the district as both an assistant principal and principal. I know how much Mr. Morcone loved working with our students and I wish him all of the best in his next role. He will always be a Warrior! While Mr. Morcone’s resignation represents a major change, I want to assure you that a plan is in place to move the district and the elementary school forward. The Board of Education is already discussing the search for a seasoned interim elementary principal, who will be prepared for the start of the new school year. This will ensure that the hiring process for a permanent elementary principal is thorough and deliberate. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out by email at pmorris@scsd.org or by phone at (518) 373-6100, ext. 30022. Sincerely, Patricia Morris Superintendent of Schools

Biased dependency of CD80 versus CD86 in the induction of transcription factors regulating the human IL-2 promoter. In addition to the signals obtained by ligation of the TCR, T cells need additional, co-stimulatory signals to be activated. One such co-stimulatory signal is delivered when CD28 on T cells binds to CD80 or CD86 on antigen-presenting cells (APC). In the present study, we analyzed the ability of CD80 and CD86 to co-stimulate human T cells activated by superantigen. Using the Raji B cell lymphoma, which express similar levels of CD80 and CD86, it was found that T cell proliferation was mainly co-stimulated by CD80. To further characterize the consequences of this biased co-stimulatory dependency, we employed a well-defined system of transfected CHO cells expressing human MHC class II together with CD80, CD86 or CD80 and CD86. Proliferation of freshly prepared CD4+ T cells required the presence of either CD80 or CD86. However, IL-2 production reached only suboptimal levels in the presence of CD86 but optimal levels with CD80. To analyze IL-2 transcriptional activity in CD80 and CD86 co-stimulated T cells we used Jurkat T cells transfected with luciferase reporter gene constructs. CD80 induced higher levels of IL-2 promoter-enhancer activity compared to CD86. Furthermore, the activity of transcription factors regulating the IL-2 promoter-enhancer region including activation protein-1, CD28 response element and nuclear factor kappaB were 4-8 times higher after CD80 compared to CD86 ligation. Our results suggest that the eventual appearance of CD80 on recently activated CD86+ APC is important for the superinduction of IL-2 production and to support vigorous T cell proliferation.

NEW DELHI: Cancelled leaves, missed family engagements and sleepless nights. For Nestle’s executives in India, these have been some of the aftereffects of the Maggi controversy.“I haven’t slept for more than two hours in the past fortnight,” rued a midlevel executive. “It’s been all about nonstop work, plant visits, meetings, tests, future strategies, decisions. Worse, we don’t know what will happen tomorrow,” he said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.He can’t go on a road trip he’d planned for this month with family and friends, and he hasn't spent time with his kids for weeks.For most of Nestle India’s 7,000 employees, including those working at its five noodles plants in Moga, Pantnagar, Nanjangud, Bicholin and Tahliwal, April 30 is a day they wouldn’t forget for along time. That was when a 1998-batch food inspector by the name of Sanjay Singh in Uttar Pradesh’s Barabanki town turned the food giant’s world upside down. As things moved from bad to worse and Nestle’s nightmare snowballed into one of the biggest controversies of the year, Nestle had to press in its entire team into firefighting. It has flown in global chief executive Paul Bulcke and executives from across the world, including longest-serving brand head Shivani Hegde from Sri Lanka, to manage the crisis. In India, it cancelled leaves of all employees and they have been putting in almost 20-hour work days.Few of the facts are in public domain. Nestle, known for being one of the most media-shy companies in the consumer-goods space, sent out text invites for its only media briefing since the mega controversy broke out, postmidnight Thursday. The conference was at 12 noon on Friday, and there wasn’t even enough time to send out email invites. Public relations agency Text 100 was given the mandate to organise the conference. The statement announcing the voluntary recall of Maggi noodles was also mailed by Nestle’s communications team at the unearthly 12.54 am, to be exact. Enough proof that Nestle India, maker of the once popular Maggi noodles, is working 24X7.“I have specially come down to see concerns raised on Maggi in India,” Bulcke said at the press conference.A Nestle spokesperson said the CEO was in India for two days last week. “He was here for discussions and also to understand the recent developments that have led to confusion for the consumers around Maggi noodles,” the spokesperson said, without elaborating details.Another executive who is integral to the exercise is Hegde. She has been called back from Nestle Sri Lanka, which she went to head, this February, to restore the brand she almost created from scratch. A Nestle veteran of three decades, Hegde evolved brand Maggi through extensions like pasta, seasonings and soups, shifted focus from taste to health, and brought in a series of faces like Amitabh Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit to endorse the brand. An economics graduate and alumnus of Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi, Hegde is among the top executives leading the Maggi resurrection at the back-end. “She is engaging with government, sales, consumer-connect strategies across traditional and social media and image of Nestle,” said an ad agency executive, requesting anonymity. “But knowing Shivani, she will be behind the scenes...she won't be seen in public.”The firefighting had begun on all fronts, but a little late. “The company’s reticence in the face of the mounting controversy is surprising. Its press conference came 16 days after the news broke on UP FDA’s findings. 16 days is an eternity in an age of social media,” financial services firm Kotak Institutional Equities wrote in a consumer note dated June 5. The issue “appears to have surpassed all recent food-safety controversies involving well-known brands (worms in Cadbury Dairy Milk, pesticides in Coke/Pepsi). The company’s automated twitter responses have done little to assuage consumer fears. Consumer confidence is seriously dented and the company’s strategy of calling its consumers ‘confused’ (and basing its voluntary recall of the product on this ‘confusion’) does further damage,” the report said.“Nestle underestimated the impact of the controversy in the initial days. They were, in a sense, caught completely off-guard. By the time they decided to act, the fire had spread wild,” said a top communications expert.At the press briefing which Bulcke, India chairman Etienne Benet and Hegde hosted, the mood went from defensive to almost defiant. “We were waiting for internal investigation results,” Bulcke said, when he was asked about the long delay in acknowledging and addressing the issue.Nestle is also not commenting on lobbying firm Apco being given the mandate to douse the Maggi fire. Apco, which managed PR for Vibrant Gujarat, too, isn’t talking. But executives in the know said the first priority is getting the government on their side, which it believes will lead to restoring consumer confidence.Nestle employees have been told not to talk to anyone — not even to trade partners — unless approved by the legal team. Those working in plants have been told not to go on leave as every product is being tested and re-tested several times, people involved with the company said.The company, whose market cap has lost 15% (Rs 10,300 crore), over the past one week, will take a hit of about 7% in sales because of the Maggi recall.Maggi is a Rs 2,000-crore brand, the biggest in the company’s portfolio, and Nestle could lose Rs 180 crore in monthly sales until the product is back on shelves, said Abneesh Roy, an analyst and associate director at Edelweiss Securities.The Maggi fire has burnt rivals too, which are looking at the controversy grudgingly. Sales of the entire noodles category are down by close to 80% in the country — the fifth largest instant noodles market in the world. Retailers like Savemax have removed all stocks of other Maggi products like ketchup too, which were giving noodles for free as promotions.In 2014, the domestic instant noodle market was valued at Rs 3,800 crore, with value growth of 7.4% and volume growth of 2.9%.“For firms like Nestle or ITC, it’s one brand that’s impacted…they have other brands to bank on,” said the CEO of a relatively smaller foods firm.“For us, it’s like the entire business is under threat. There’s hardly any category salience these days.”

I’m really not sure where this last month went – it feels like just yesterday that Ava turned 6 months and now here we are with a 7-month-old! One of my good friends told me right after she was born that the second 6 months absolutely fly by and so far she’s been absolutely right! Ava has started doing sooo many more things since last month – she started crawling, she’s getting her first tooth, and she even has started to pull herself up to stand without our help! She is so, so fun! Here are some of our and Ava’s favorites over the past month: EATING: Breast milk is still the bulk of Ava’s diet although a crazy bout of mastitis definitely hurt my supply for a couple of weeks but now we are back in business. We are still using both the Tommy Tippee and Comotomo bottles as well as this bottle warmer because it fits ALL sizes of bottles. In terms of solids, Ava Mae has tried a few more foods and she does not like avocado nor zucchini. She enjoys bananas, peas, sweet potatoes, peaches, apples, and the jury is still out on carrots! I’ve been trying to make her food as right now it’s so easy to just steam and/or blend her food into purees. Some days she eats more than others — the most she’s ever eaten in one sitting is a couple of tablespoons. This month, I plan on transitioning her to two meals per day if she’s up for it. I’ve been using the BEABA Babycook and it’s been wonderful! We highly recommend this highchair. PERSONAL CARE/HEALTH: As Ava is sitting up wonderfully these days, we graduated her out of the infant bathtub and into the big bathtub this month! Per friends’ recommendations, we are just putting a towel in the bottom of the tub to keep her from slipping as some of those anti-slip mats did not work with our tub. I also finally invested in some “baby-only” towels – these ones from Target are so colorful and soft, plus they match A’s bathroom. We are still using and loving this shampoo/body wash, this diaper rash cream, and this brand of wipes. Also, we are still using these diapers for daytime as they fit Ava the best (the less blowouts, the better!!!) and these diapers for nighttime. Although Ava’s colds have really eased, we still use this humidifier at night when we notice some congestion as we feel it really, really helps. We’re also using a this lotion this month and it smells so girly and good. PLAYING: Ava LOVES anything new and anything that makes a sound or that she can bang to make a sound. She has been crazy about jumping in this activity jumper and it occupies her way longer than what it used to. We also use this puzzle mat for play and in terms of new toys, Ava’s faves are these rings, this activity cube (I have all the songs memorized in my head), and these stacking cups (she loves rolling the ball that comes with this set and crawling after it). CLOTHES/ACCESSORIES: Ava is still wearing 3-6 month rompers, shorts, dresses, pants and onesies but she is into 6-9 month PJ’s/one-pieces because she is a long little bean! I also recently upgraded to the “Medium” size sleep sack that we love and swear by for night sleep. I’m currently looking to buy a couple of cute fall outfits for Ava and I’m loving this gray cardi from Old Navy, these adorable crew socks, and this flannel dress from Baby Gap. I also love everything from Tea Collection and Baby Boden but need to get it on sale to justify the price for cuteness factor. I finally was able to buy some of the sweetest hair bows from the always-sold-out The Splendid Bow Shop (you need to be ready to log on and ready to buy on Mondays at 10am MST to be able to score some) and I’m loving the colors and quality! 1 Comments Oh my goodness.

Effects of chronic dietary lithium on behavioral indices of dopamine denervation supersensitivity in the rat. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that chronic lithium (Li) treatment could alter the behavioral manifestations of dopamine (DA) denervation supersensitivity. Rats were maintained on a Li diet continuously for 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after bilateral chemical denervation of DA terminal fields in the nucleus accumbens (N.Acc.) and the caudate nucleus (CN). We examined the behavioral responses of these animals to apomorphine (0.1 mg/kg s.c.) treatment 2 and 4 weeks postdenervation. Animals exposed to similar chemical denervation but maintained on a control diet exhibited well-documented "supersensitive" behavioral responses to apomorphine: N.Acc. denervated animals demonstrated increases in ambulatory sniffing, rearing and locomotor activity; CN-denervated animals demonstrated increases in rearing and focused sniffing in one location but no increases in locomotor activity. Compared to these control-fed animals, Li-diet animals receiving either CN- or N.Acc-denervation demonstrated a significantly decreased "supersensitive" behavioral response to apomorphine. N.Acc.-denervated animals receiving Li showed less apomorphine-induced locomotor activity. CN-denervated animals receiving Li showed less focused behavior which became evident as actual increases in locomotor activity after apomorphine. These results suggest that chronic dietary Li modifies postsynaptic mechanisms to suppress elements of the behavioral manifestations of supersensitive mesolimbic and nigrostriatal DA activity.

So better not wear your team colors. The soccer shop you go to buy should also inspire you with confidence. You must be an online site that offers you the possibility to contact them via chat, email, phone, etc. that allow you to see or claim on any questions you may have, and also in your language.

All quotes tagged Abandon (169 quotes found) “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” “To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.” “When we, in our humanity, fail to sense God's presence, it helps to remember that He who promised, 'I am with you always,' also felt the human perception of abandonment, when He said, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me.'” >.” “I don't know if it's a Mothers sorrowful angered Voice, or if it's a Child's negative unsupported parent, or if it's a Parents unreachable abandonment, that makes One cry out in pain in search of Truth!” “If we (the town) haven?t been using the (abandoned) roads for emergencies in decades then why should we spend potentially millions of dollars to fix them. What would that cost us?” >>IMAGE?” “Everyone was interviewed exhaustively, ... No one believed she would abandon her child, and no one in Chile ever heard from her again.”

Q: Unable to INSERT even if the record still does not exist in the database I want to insert records in the database but before it inserts, it must first check the database whether the value being inserted already exists. Now my problem is that I am unable to insert into the database even though the value still does not exist. Here's my code: Dim check As New SqlCommand Dim sqlcheck As String = "SELECT SerialNumber FROM EquipmentDetail WHERE SerialNumber = '" & TextBox1.Text & "'" connection.Open() check.Connection = connection check.CommandText = sqlcheck Dim read As SqlDataReader = check.ExecuteReader() If read.HasRows Then While read.Read() If read("SerialNumber").ToString() = TextBox1.Text Then MessageBox.Show(read("SerialNumber").ToString() & " was already added") Else cmd.Connection = connection cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO EquipmentDetail (SerialNumber, BoxNumber, FATTNumber, FaultTicketNumber, Description, ProductCode)" & "VALUES('" & TextBox1.Text & "', '" & TextBox2.Text & "', '" & TextBox3.Text & "', '" & TextBox4.Text & "', '" & TextBox6.Text & "', '" & ComboBox1.Text & "')" cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() MessageBox.Show("Equipment successfully added.", "Equipment", MessageBoxButtons.OK) TextBox1.Text = "" TextBox2.Text = "" TextBox3.Text = "" TextBox4.Text = "" TextBox6.Text = "" TextBox1.Focus() connection.Close() End If End While End If read.Close() A: There are a number of issues with your code. First, you have an sql injection vulnerability which can be resolved using parameters. Second, you are performing database activities within an open datareader, which could lead to numerous issues. Third, you are performing far too much work to determine whether or not the serial number exists. You can make use of the SQL Server Exists statement and the SqlCommand's ExecuteScalar method to return and test a single value, which makes the code much faster and easier to understand. Finally, you need to ensure that disposable items are disposed and the easiest/best way to do this is through the use of Using blocks. These can all be resolved with the following code: Using connection As New SqlConnection(connStr) Dim sqlcheck As String = "IF EXISTS(select 1 FROM EquipmentDetail WHERE SerialNumber=@SerialNumber) SELECT 1 ELSE SELECT 0" Using cmd As New SqlCommand(sqlcheck, connection) cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@SerialNumber", TextBox1.Text) connection.Open() If CBool(cmd.ExecuteScalar) Then MessageBox.Show(TextBox1.Text & " was already added") Else Using insertCmd As New SqlCommand insertCmd.Connection = connection insertCmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO EquipmentDetail (SerialNumber, BoxNumber, FATTNumber, FaultTicketNumber, Description, ProductCode)" & "VALUES(@SerialNumber, @BoxNumber, @FATTNumber, @FaultTicketNumber, @Description, @ProductCode)" insertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@SerialNumber", TextBox1.Text) insertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BoxNumber", TextBox2.Text) insertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FATTNumber", TextBox3.Text) insertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FaultTicketNumber", TextBox4.Text) insertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Description", TextBox6.Text) insertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ProductCode", ComboBox1.Text) insertCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() MessageBox.Show("Equipment successfully added.", "Equipment", MessageBoxButtons.OK) TextBox1.Text = "" TextBox2.Text = "" TextBox3.Text = "" TextBox4.Text = "" TextBox6.Text = "" TextBox1.Focus() End Using End If End Using connection.Close() End Using

This is one of those things I just don't get at all. I like Yu Darvish, I expect him to have a good year. I just think where he is being drafted in many leagues is insane. Paul Sporer who I admire greatly and who sells his own pitching handbook and I suggest you buy it, drafted him over Cole Hamels in a LABR draft recently.. Lets take a real look at Darvish here. I will start this off by saying it is just as likely that the league adjusts to him as he adjusts to the league so assuming there will be a giant step one way or the other is probably being overly optimistic or pessimistic. He gave up a wOBA of .293 or higher every month last year except September. Basically Sept saved him from being a big disappointment for most. His stats last year were 3.90/1.28, 16 W, 221 K. Hamels gave up wOBA of .293 or higher 2 months. His stats were 3.05/1.12, 17 W, 216 K. So he beat Darvish in every single stat except K which was close while being more consistent and having a longer track record of success. I got pumped up about the big Sept of Darvish too but lets not read too much into this. He is going at an insane draft position in most drafts. He is going over guys like Cain, Hamels, Wainright and Bumgarner who all have longer track records and were better than him last year. You never want to draft a guy where he HAS to break out to be worth his pick, that just isn't value. Even if Darvish breaks out most of those who are drafting him this early aren't gaining any value.

Reno man accused of stealing military equipment from Sierra Army Depot 07/08/2014 5:14 PM 07/08/2014 5:15 PM A former employee of the Sierra Army Depot in Lassen County was arrested Monday, accused of stealing military equipment. On Thursday, a federal grand jury returned a two-count indictment alleging that between January and April 2013, Tony Herrin of Reno, and co-conspirator Devon Biggs, civilian employees at the depot, conspired to steal and sell United States military equipment from the depot, according to a federal Department of Justice news release. Herrin, 36, was arrested Monday on suspicion of conspiracy to steal and sell government property, and theft and sale of government property. Biggs was charged in a separate indictment May 5, 2013. The indictment alleges that, on numerous occasions, Herrin and Biggs removed U.S. military equipment from Sierra Army Depot buildings, adjusted item codes in the computer database to conceal their thefts and arranged to sell the equipment to various buyers. On one occasion, they allegedly loaded a military vehicle with equipment stolen from the Sierra Army Depot, drove the vehicle to a depot parking lot just outside the depot gate and sold the equipment to an individual whom they had arranged to meet. Herrin made an initial appearance in Reno on Monday and is to be arraigned Monday. Biggs is to appear in district court for a status conference Sept. 17. The case resulted from an investigation by the Law Enforcement Division of the United States Army and the Federal Bureau of Investigation..

. I love it here! This place looks amazing, they renovated it since my last visit and now it looks even better Two days before the trip I was informed that the unit right by the miami beach convention center I originally rented suffered some sort of damage and was no longer available. The replacement unit was located 10 blocks (1,5 miles away). I told them that I needed to be within walking distance to the convention center. The response I got was that they reserve a right to replace the unit you rent with a different unit. They absolutely refused to refund my original reservation. So, if you're renting a unit from them you really don't know what and where you're getting. We love it here we alwasy stay at the Shelborne the pool parties during the confrence are epic. Can't wait to do again next year They redid the place since my last visit. I liked it very much. I had a good stay and had tons of fun.. Been coming her for years, never had any complaints. grerat service, the best parties and the pool is spectacular. Me and my friends stay here every year for WMC hot girls in bikinis sick pool parties and great rooms the pool is awesome too but I you'll find me by the beach. Til next year!!

JETS coach Gary van Egmond said yesterday that there was ‘‘no room for sentimentality in sport’’ as Jobe Wheelhouse left the club with a broken heart. After numerous reports in the Newcastle Herald that the Jets captain was being pushed out, it was announced yesterday that Wheelhouse had decided to step down immediately and would take a break from football. The Toronto-Awaba junior was told a week ago by van Egmond that he would not be offered a contract for next season. Van Egmond first met Wheelhouse as a 17-year-old Australian Institute of Sport graduate in the final days of Newcastle United in the National Soccer League. Yesterday, van Egmond sat next to the now 27-year-old midfielder to front the media about why his days of representing his home town were over. ‘‘Was it [Australian cricket chairman of selectors] John Inverarity who said there’s no room for sentimentality in sport,’’ van Egmond said. ‘‘It’s tough and we’ve had a look at what we’re going to do moving forward. ‘‘You have a salary cap and you need to stay within the means of that salary cap and you look in regards to the players you have at hand and you make a decision. That’s what we’ve done. ‘‘We could have not said anything until the end of the year and not given Jobe an opportunity to go anywhere else, and it would have looked like we didn’t do the right thing.’’ Newcastle Jets coach Gary van Egmond, left, with Jobe Wheelhouse announcing that Wheelhouse will stand down from the club at a press conference today. Picture: Jonathan Carroll Wheelhouse’s exit leaves him on 106 A-League games, the third most-capped Jets player after Western Sydney’s Tarek Elrich (134) and Melbourne Heart’s Matt Thompson (121). Over the past six to 12 months, Wheelhouse said he had gradually fallen out of love with the Jets. On Wednesday night, he spoke with Jets chief executive Robbie Middleby and Hunter Sports Group chief executive Troy Palmer to inform them of his decision, before he told some senior players yesterday. The hard-nosed defensive midfielder was shattered to be leaving the club where he was the sole remaining foundation member from the Jets’ inaugural season in 2005-06. ‘‘These things happen in football,’’ said Wheelhouse, who has been paid out for the rest of the season. ‘‘The club didn’t show any indication that they wanted to re-sign me, so I think that’s pretty plain. ‘‘The writing is on the wall. ‘‘My heart’s not here any more. I guess that’s the main thing. I think I’d be cheating myself and cheating my teammates if I were to pick up a pay cheque for something I just wasn’t in it for.’’ Melbourne Heart offered Wheelhouse an attractive offer for the rest of this season and the next, but he turned it down after questioning his passion to continue as a professional footballer. ‘‘I don’t want to go there and just get a pay cheque,’’ the skipper said. ‘‘They made me a really good offer, but I’m not here for the money. It’s never been about the money.’’ But Wheelhouse stressed he was not necessarily retiring from professional football. ‘‘I’ll take a couple of weeks off and try and unwind and soak everything up and hopefully I’ll come to some sort of a decision on where my future lies in the next month or so.’’ Only three weeks ago Wheelhouse held his first coaching clinic at Blackalls Park, and developing juniors is a career path he could follow. ‘‘It’s only in the very early baby steps,’’ he said. ‘‘I have only done the one clinic so far so that’s something I want to pursue, but it will no means be the end of my football.’’ Wheelhouse’s brother Abe walked away from the Jets youth team in September.

Chapter 35 Deeper and Deeper February,1863 I wouldn’t have known that the month had changed had not Sean looked at an almanac and told me. “Yessir,” he said, “It’s February and we’re in for some cold weather.” It had been warmer than usual in January, and I wondered what we would do to keep warm. The skins weren’t much help in really cold weather. He fixed breakfast and we ate. Andrew still have not stirred. I went over to him and felt his forehead. He was burning up. Sean came over and took one look at him. “The wound’s infected. He won’t be doing any traveling.” “I have to find my wife.” “You’ll do it without him, then.” “Would you take care of him. I can pay you. I don’t have it with me, but I have some waiting upriver.” Sean thought for a while and then said, “Well, OK. You’re in about as desperate a strait as a man can be in, so I’ll keep him. Try to hurry up and get back, though. Having to feed him will ruin me low pretty quick.” “Thank you, Mr. Fitzpatrick.” “I thought we settled that. It’s ‘Sean’ to you.” “Thank you, Sean.” I went over to where Andrew lay. I didn’t know if he could hear me or not, but I said, “Andrew, I’m going to look for Laurel and Caleb. Mr. Fitzpatrick here will take care of you until I get back, but don’t worry. I’ll come back for you and bring them with me. It’s been good having you on our trip, and I look forward to continuing it with you. Heal quickly, and try not to eat too much.” He stirred as I spoke those last words, and I took that as a sign that somehow he heard and understood what I was saying. I turned and walked out the door to the boat, got in, and started rowing downriver again. I wish I were as confident as I was when I spoke those words to Andrew. I was beginning to have the tiniest doubt that I would never find my family, and if that happened, I didn’t know what I would do. It was a gray morning, and the weather matched my mood. And so I rowed on. *** Two hours later, tired, cold and wet, I tied up at a dock that led to the main street of a small town. I not only wanted to get in out of the weather: I needed to buy some flour. I should say I needed to trade something for some flour, for as I have told you, I had no money. I stepped out onto the dock and stopped at the first business I came to, which just happened to be a general store. Maybe my luck was turning. I went in, and a woman about 40 years old greeted me. “Good afternoon, young fellow. What can I do for you?” “I need some flour, but I’ll have to trade for it. I left my money upstream.” She looked interested. “What do you have to trade?” I pulled out my pocket knife. “This—” She looked at it over her glasses. “Got anything else?” “I got a whole rowboat of things. What would you be interested in?” “Something I can sell. At a profit to myself, of course. Say, what are you doing on the river in a rowboat in weather like this?” I hesitated, and then decided I could trust her. “I’m trying to find my wife and son. Some desperado took them, and headed south, so I’m trying to track him so I can bring them back.” Her hand flew to her mouth. “How terrible! Look, a man in your circumstance doesn’t need to worry about paying for flour. How much do you want?” Maybe my fortune had turned after all. “I could use about two pounds.” She went over to a huge barrel and measured out the amount into a cloth bag. “Here you go,” she said, handing me the bag. “Thank you m’am. I’ll find a way to pay for it when I come back through here.” She fluttered her hands. “Don’t worry about that. A man’s family is the most important thing he has, and if I can do something to help you find them, I consider it my Christian duty.” “I’m much obliged. I’ll come by when I come back.” “Well, I know you will. And go with God.” “Good-bye, m’am.” I went out the door and to my boat and jumped in, thinking that with the exception of the Garretts, who I did not consider to be like other people in the area, everyone I had met on the river was kind, from Huck to the lady I had just left. Without their help, I would not have been able to pursue Laurel, and who knows what I would have done without them. I would have lost her forever, and that was something I did not even want to think about. The current was fast enough that I could drift and steer with one of the oars so I could catch up with Garrett, if he were still running by the river. I found myself wondering what lay in that direction, but whatever it was, I knew it would be a horrible situation for Laurel. I could tell that from what I had seen of the Garretts already. And so I drifted, glad to not have to row for a change, and watched the shores as I went by. *** I drifted all day without seeing a soul and, as darkness fell, pulled over to the bank for the night. As I have mentioned before, there was no sense in traveling at night, even with a lantern. I would be risking too much if I did that. I couldn’t see any sign of human habitation, so I tied the boat up and made my way to a stand of trees that looked like it would be a good place to camp for the night. I was able to carry what I would need for the night with one trip. I set up a blanket I found on the boat as a kind of tent, made a fire, and heated some pork, which tasted good, I was so hungry from my travels. I didn’t take the time to make flat bread with the flour I had gotten earlier in the day, but I would do that in the morning. Finn had some potatoes which I baked in the coals, so all in all, I had a good meal. After I ate, I lay on my back on some pine boughs I found and looked at the moon and stars in the clear sky. I wondered if Laurel were looking at the same sky, and had a strong feeling that she was. “I’m coming for you, my love,” I whispered and, tired from the day, I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.

~ Rafid Ali Hello Everyone, Rafid Ali here with a Configuration Manager support tip for you. I recently worked an interesting case where we had to configure Hardware Inventory using NOIDMIF files, and although writing customizations for customers is not something we’re able to do here in product support, we can help teach you how to do this on your own. Because of this I thought it would be a good idea to pass along some tips in the form of a step-by-step guide for the configuration of NOIDMIF for Hardware Inventory in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager. This article is divided into four major steps: Step 1: Introduction of NOIDMIF and IDMIF files, including the MOF and the component engaged to process it Step 2: Server Side Configuration Step 3: Client Side Configuration Step 4: Processing the Hardware Inventory with NOIDMIF data Step 1: Introduction of NOIDMIF and IDMIF files 1. The NOIDMIF and IDMIF files NOIDMIF files can be used to add information to a client hardware inventory that is associated with a particular client device but cannot normally be collected by Configuration Manager. For example, many companies label each computer in the organization with an asset number and then catalogue them by hand. NOIDMIF inventory is automatically associated with the client device that it was collected from if you configure the Hardware Inventory in the client settings to collect NOIDMIFs. To do this you need to individually create a NOIDMIF file for each machine, and this information can be added to the Configuration Manager database while processing the Hardware Inventory and thus can be used for queries and reporting. For information about creating NOIDMIF files see the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SDK documentation at. IDMIF files are simply custom MIF files. IDMIF files contain a unique ID and are not associated with the computer they are collected from. IDMIF files can also be used to collect inventory data about devices that are not Configuration Manager clients. For example, we can use this collect information about a shared network printer, DVD player, photocopier or similar equipment that is not associated with a client-specific computer. IDMIF files are identical to NOIDMIF files with these exceptions: • IDMIF files must have a delta header that provides architecture and a unique ID. NOIDMIF files are automatically given a similar header by the system during processing on the client. • IDMIF files must include a top-level group with the same class as the architecture being added or changed, and that group must include at least one property. • Like NOIDMIF files, IDMIF files have key properties that must be unique. Any class that has more than one instance must have at least one key property defined, or subsequent instances overwrite previous instances. • Removing IDMIF files from clients does not cause the associated data in the site database to be deleted during subsequent hardware inventories. • IDMIF file information is not added to client inventory reports and the files themselves are sent across the network to be processed at the site server. 2. The MOF file Managed Object Format (MOF) files can be used to import or extended hardware inventory classes that need to be inventoried from a Configuration Manager client computer. 3. MP_Hinv MP_Hinv is a Management Point component that receives the inventory sent by client machines in XML format. It processes the XML file and converts it into a MIF file. 4. SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_LOADER SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_LOADER processes the MIF file received from MP_Hinv and stores the inventory information sent by client machines in the ConfigMgr database by executing SQL stored procedures in the background. Step 2: Server Side Configuration First we will create the MOF and MIF Files according to a requirement specified in our example for this scenario. We will pull the following information using NOIDMIF files from a SCCM client machine. Department_Name Department_Code User_Full_Name User_Title The MOF for creating a Class and its Attribute is as follows: [ SMS_Report (TRUE), SMS_Group_Name ("Department_Information"), SMS_Class_ID ("Department_Name")] class Department_InformationInventory : SMS_Class_Template { [SMS_Report (TRUE),key ] string Department_Name; [SMS_Report (TRUE) ] string Department_Code; [SMS_Report (TRUE) ] string Users_Title; [SMS_Report (TRUE) ] string User_Full_Name; }; To create the MOF file, simply copy the lines above in red into Notepad and save the file with the extension .MOF “Department_Information” is the Group name which you will see in the Resource explorer under Hardware. “Department_Name” is the name of the Class. “Highlighted” portion are Attributes whose values will be fetched up by processing the Hardware Inventory. NOTE You can create more attributes as per your specific requirements. Once the file is saved with a .MOF extension we need to import it. To do this, go to the console and open Client Settings, browse to Hardware Inventory and click on “Set Classes” Then click on “Import” Browse to the location where you have saved the .MOF file and click Open Select the option “Import both Hardware Inventory Classes and Hardware Inventory Class Settings” Once the Hardware Inventory class is imported, verify that the class is added by searching for it using its class name. By default it’s already selected but if not then select the Class. You can expand the Class to look into its Attributes as well. After importing the MOF, be sure you enable the collection of NOIDMIF files as shown below. Now you can verify that new tables are created regarding the above class “Department_Name” in the database. At this point the configuration on the server side is completed so we will now move to the client side. Step 3: Client Side Configuration On the client side we need to create a MIF file and copy it to the required location. To do this, type the following lines into Notepad. This will create the NOIDMIF, its Class “Department_Name” and its attributes. NOTE You need to save this file in .MIF extension. Start Component Name = "System_InformationInventory" Start Group Name = "Department_Information" ID = 1 Class = "Department_Name" Start Attribute Name = "Department_Name" ID = 1 Type = String(250) Value = "ConfigMgr" End Attribute Start Attribute Name = "Department_Code" ID = 2 Type = String(80) Value = "808315" End Attribute Start Attribute Name = "Users_Title" ID = 3 Type = String(250) Value = "Admin" End Attribute Start Attribute Name = "User_Full_Name" ID = 4 Type = String(80) Value = "Rafid_Ali" End Attribute End Group End Component The highlighted four attributes above are required as per our example. You can create more attributes to suit your specific requirements, but if you do, make sure the same Class and Attributes are created on the server side as well. Once the .MIF file is created, copy it to the location: %Windir%\CCM\Inventory\Noidmifs Now the client side configuration is completed. Step 4: Processing the Hardware Inventory with NOIDMIF data 1. Run the “Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle” so the new policies regarding the new Hardware Inventory Classes are be received. 2. Run the “Hardware Inventory Cycle” to send the new Inventory with NOIDMIF’s data. InventoryAgent.log will show that four new attributes regarding the Class “Department_Name” need to be collected for hardware Inventory data and that info needs to be sent to server. The next line will show that “Department_InformationInventory” does not exist, but you can ignore it. 3. Now the XML file from the client computer will be received by MP_Hinv and processed into a MIF file and sent to the SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_LOADER component (dataldr.box) for processing. MP_Hinv.log: 4. The SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_LOADER component will receive file MIF file, process it, and then insert the data into the corresponding tables in the ConfigMgr database by running SQL stored procedures in the background. NOTE To view the stored procedures you must enable verbose logging for the SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_LOADER component. Dataldr.log: 5. In the ConfigMgr console, open Resource Explorer for the client computer and view the Processed NOIDMIF information. You will find a new component named “Department_Information” with its Attributes and their values under HARDWARE NOTE All of the above results and screens shots are from my lab environment setup in a simple ConfigMgr 2012 R2 configuration. It is recommended that you perform these steps in a test environment before implementing in a production environment. Additional Information 1. NOIDMIF files themselves are not sent to the site server during a client hardware inventory cycle. The information that is contained within the NOIDMIF file is collected and added to the client inventory report. 2. When you create a NOIDMIF file, this must be saved in an ANSI encoded format. NOIDMIF files saved in UTF-8 encoded format cannot be read by Configuration Manager. 3. The Configuration.mof file is used to define the data classes to be inventoried by the hardware inventory client agent. Data classes can be created to inventory existing or custom WMI repository data classes or registry keys present on client systems. 4.. 5.

Introduction {#sec001} ============ With the climate changes observed in the past few years, the promotion of more sustainable agriculture that is adapted to different abiotic stresses has become imperative \[[@pone.0216980.ref001]\]. One challenge is to obtain more efficient cultivars that are adapted for low-fertility soils to mitigate the use of agricultural inputs, and consequently reducing environmental pollution and production costs \[[@pone.0216980.ref002]\]. Phosphorus is one of the most important primary macronutrients for most cultivated crops, due to its participation in vital plant functions \[[@pone.0216980.ref003],[@pone.0216980.ref004]\]. To fulfill the increasing demand for fertilizers, mining operations increased phosphate rock extraction five-fold between the 1960s and 2011 \[[@pone.0216980.ref005]\], and the global production of phosphate fertilizers has increased at a rate of 4% per annum \[[@pone.0216980.ref006]\]. As this is a non-renewable natural resource, with reserves that will be depleted within the next 50 years \[[@pone.0216980.ref007]\], improving plants to promote efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use is important. In addition, improved phosphorus efficiency and responsiveness are of interest for the sustainability of production systems, especially in tropical regions with low fertility soils, high acidity, and a high phosphorus adsorption capacity \[[@pone.0216980.ref008]\]. Knowledge of the genetic control of phosphorus-use efficiency and the predominant genes that express this characteristic is fundamental to adequately select improvement methods to be implemented to obtain better genotypes \[[@pone.0216980.ref009]\]. Studies in numerous crops have been undertaken to understand genetic control, identifying genomic regions, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, and genes that may promote phosphorus-use efficiency, a task that has shown to be difficult due to its polygenetic inheritance and the strong influence by the environment \[[@pone.0216980.ref009]--[@pone.0216980.ref015]\]. However, there is no published literature regarding the genetic control of phosphorus-use efficiency in popcorn crops under field conditions. In such a context, diallel analysis has been utilized in inheritance and genetic control studies related to important characteristics in many different crops. This methodology employs estimates of genetic parameters related to character control, as deduced from the additive and non-additive effects, to help select a more efficient selection method and to indicate the best genitors for hybridization that provide good genetic complementation for characteristics of economic interest \[[@pone.0216980.ref016]--[@pone.0216980.ref018]\]. Diallel analysis between inbred lines with contrasting efficiencies and responsiveness to phosphorus use may help select efficient genitors in low-fertility areas that are responsive to phosphorus application for the development of hybrids, and to indicate heterotic hybrids with satisfactory productivity in low-fertility areas. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use in a set of popcorn hybrids and to estimate the general and specific combining abilities of their parental inbred lines to deduce their additive and non-additive genetic effects in a diallel analysis conducted in contrasting environments of soil nutrient availability. Material and methods {#sec002} ==================== Experimental conditions and hybrids {#sec003} ----------------------------------- In a previous study, 25 S~7~ popcorn inbred lines from the UENF Breeding Program were classified and selected based on their efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use \[[@pone.0216980.ref019]\]. Of those, eight were selected for the present analysis, based on their allelic symmetry, as follows: three lines classified as efficient and responsive to phosphorus use (ER), three lines classified as inefficient and non-responsive to phosphorus use (INR), and two lines classified as intermediate in terms of efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use ([Table 1](#pone.0216980.t001){ref-type="table"}). 10.1371/journal.pone.0216980.t001 ###### Popcorn lines utilized in the diallel analysis with their respective genealogies and classification regarding their efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use. {#pone.0216980.t001g} Lines Origin population PUE classification ------- --------------------------- -------------------- P2 CMS-42 Composite: EMBRAPA ER P7 Zaeli hybrid ER L59 Beija-flor: UFV ER P6 Zaeli hybrid Intermediate L76 Viçosa: UFV Intermediate L77 Viçosa: UFV INR L75 Viçosa: UFV INR L80 Viçosa: UFV INR ER: efficient and responsive to phosphorus use; INR: inefficient and non-responsive to phosphorus use. To obtain hybrids, controlled crossings followed the entire diallel scheme, comprising 28 simple hybrids. The eight genitors were inserted, and reciprocal hybrids were disregarded, for a total of 36 treatments. The evaluation tests were conducted in the summers of 2015 and 2016 in two different sites and, in each site, with two contrasting environments in terms of soil phosphorus availability. The sites were Antônio Sarlo State Agricultural School, in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes--RJ, and the Experimental Station of the municipality of Itaocara--RJ. The utilized experimental design was a 6 × 6 triple lattice. Sowing was performed according to the conventional planting system. Each experimental plot was comprised of a 5 m line, with a 0.70 m distance between the planting lines and 0.20 m between the plants, for a total of 25 plants per plot. Characterization of evaluated environments regarding their phosphorus availability {#sec004} ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The experimental areas were pre-selected using soil chemical analysis in Campos dos Goytacazes and Itaocara to characterize those environments regarding their phosphorus availability, based on the samples collected from 0--10 and 10--20 cm layers, forming a sample composed of 10 subsamples ([Table 2](#pone.0216980.t002){ref-type="table"}). The classification of phosphorus availability in the soil is based on the level of phosphorus and the clay content \[[@pone.0216980.ref020]\]. As the amount of clay in the soil increases, sorption capacity increases as well. Clay particles have a large amount of surface area where phosphate sorption can take place. The classification of phosphorus (P) availability in those two sites was low according to the clay content of their soils, which is characteristic of weathered tropical soils. 10.1371/journal.pone.0216980.t002 ###### Chemical and clay analysis of soil in the sites located in Campos dos Goytacazes and Itaocara, RJ. {#pone.0216980.t002g} Parameters measured Campos dos Goytacazes Itaocara --------------------- ----------------------- ---------- pH 6.0 5.8 P (mg/dm^3^) 7.0 10.0 K (mmol c/dm^3^) 4.3 3.2 Ca (mmol c/dm^3^) 17.9 24.9 Mg (mmol c/dm^3^) 13.5 29.8 Al (mmol c/dm^3^) 0 0 Na (mmol c/dm^3^) 1.3 1.4 C (g/dm^3^) 9.7 10.6 OM (g/dm^3^) 22.0 18.1 CEC (mmol c/dm^3^) 61.2 82.1 BS (%) 64.0 79.0 Clay (g/dm^3^) 305.0 140.0 pH: potential hydrogen; P: phosphorus; K: potassium; Ca: calcium; Mg: magnesium; Al: aluminium; Na: sodium; C: carbon; OM: organic matter; CEC: cation exchange capacity; BS: base saturation. To simulate contrasting environments---either high or low phosphorus conditions---two different fertilization rates were used in order to stimulate the genotypes to express genes for phosphorous use efficiency and responsiveness. The environment with high-phosphorus availability included 30 kg ha^-1^ of N, 85 kg ha^-1^ of P~2~O~5~, and 40 kg ha^-1^ of K~2~O. The environment with low-phosphorus availability included 30 kg ha^-1^ of N, 0 kg ha^-1^ of P~2~O~5~, and 40 kg ha^-1^ of K~2~O. Topdressing was applied in both environments when the plants reached the V6 phenological stage at a concentration of 100 kg ha^-1^ of N. The primary macronutrient supply capacity in the experimental areas was determined according to the recommended fertilization for popcorn. This considered the quantity of nutrients in the soil in the 0--20 cm layer, established by chemical analysis, except for phosphorus in the environment with low phosphorus availability, which was zero. Phenotyping {#sec005} ----------- The following characteristics were evaluated: i) grain yield (GY)--all 25 plants per plot were harvested and threshed manually. The GY was expressed as the average grain production in the experimental unit in grams per plot, corrected to 13% humidity and extrapolated to kg ha^-1^; ii) popping expansion (PE)--determined in plastic containers without oil, with two replications per plot, using grain aliquots weighing 30 grams each. Popping was performed in a microwave oven 1200 Watts for 2 min, the expanded popcorn volume was measured in a 2,000 mL beaker, the resulting value was divided by the initial grain weight of 30 g, and the final result was expressed as mL g^-1^; and iii) the volume of expanded popcorn per hectare (PV)--obtained through the product between grain yield and popping expansion, divided by 1,000, and expressed as m^3^ ha^-1^. Classification methodology regarding efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use {#sec006} ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The method used to identify and classify diallelic hybrids in terms of efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use was based on deviations from the average grain yield of each hybrid in relation to the average grain productivity of each environment. Averages were plotted on a scatterplot; the x-axis accounted for the high phosphorus level deviations (responsiveness to phosphorus use), and the y-axis accounted for low phosphorus level deviations (phosphorus-use efficiency). The expression used to classify the hybrids in terms of their phosphorus-use efficiency was: $$E_{use} = Y_{il} - Y_{el},$$ In which: *Y*~*il*~: the average grain productivity of hybrid 'i' in the environment with low phosphorus availability; and *Y*~*el*~: the average grain productivity in the environment with low phosphorus availability. To classify the hybrids based on their responsiveness to phosphorus use, the following was considered: $$R_{use} = Y_{ih} - Y_{eh}$$ In which: *Y*~*ih*~: the average grain productivity of hybrid 'i' in the environment with high phosphorus availability; and *Y*~*eh*~: the average grain productivity in the environment with high phosphorus availability. Thus, the hybrids were distributed along four quadrants in the scatterplot, depending on their grain yield performance in the contrasting environments with regard to the phosphorus availability: efficient and responsive (ER); efficient and non-responsive (ENR); inefficient and responsive (IR); or inefficient and non-responsive (INR). Genetic and statistical analyses {#sec007} -------------------------------- The Genes software package \[[@pone.0216980.ref021]\] was utilized for genetic and statistical analyses. Based on the characteristics assessed in the treatments, an individual analysis of variance was first performed for the high- and low-phosphorus environments, followed by a combined analysis for both environments. Averages were clustered according to the Scott-Knott algorithm \[[@pone.0216980.ref022]\] with a 5% probability. A diallel analysis determined the combining ability according to Method 2 of the Griffing's Model \[[@pone.0216980.ref023]\], in which the **p(p+1)/2** combinations corresponding to the genitors and their F~1~ hybrids were evaluated, by employing Model B, considering a fixed effect for the genotypes. The effects of treatments on the general combining ability (GCA) and the specific combining ability (SCA) were dissected, considering the following statistical model: $$Y_{ijk} = m + g_{i} + g_{j} + s_{ij} + l_{k} + {gl}_{ijk} + {sl}_{ijk} + e_{ijk},$$ In which: *Y*~*ijk*~: the average value of the hybrid combination (*i* ≠ *j*) or the genitor (*i* = *j*) at the k-th location; *m*: the overall average; *g*~*i*~, *g*~*j*~: the effects of the general combining ability of the *i*-th and *j*-th genitors, respectively; *s*~*ij*~: the effect of the specific combining ability for the crossings between the genitors of order *i* and *j*; *l*~*k*~: the fixed effect of the k-th location; *gl*~*ijk*~: the effect of the interaction of the general combining ability of the i-th and j-th genitors with the location; *sl*~*ijk*~: the effect of the interaction of the specific combining ability for the crossings between the genitors of order *i* and *j* with the location; and *e*~*ijk*~: the average experimental error. The quadratic component estimators of the fixed effects associated with GCA (Φg) and SCA (Φs) were: $$\Phi g = \frac{MSGxE - MSR}{p + 2}$$ $$\Phi s = MSSxE - MSR$$ In which: *p*: the number of genitors; *MSGxE*: the mean square of the interaction between GCA and the environment; *MSSxE*: the mean square of the interaction between SCA and the environment; and *MSR*: the mean square of the residue. Results and discussion {#sec008} ====================== Efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use among popcorn hybrids {#sec009} --------------------------------------------------------------------- The overall average of all characteristics was lower in the low-phosphorus environment than in the high-phosphorus environment ([Table 3](#pone.0216980.t003){ref-type="table"}). Low phosphorus levels accounted for the low averages observed for characteristics evaluated in environments with lower levels of nutrients in the soil. This is because phosphorus is a vital component of cells and has important roles in plant metabolism; it is involved in initial growth and development and is also responsible for growth, maturity, and seed formation \[[@pone.0216980.ref024]\]. 10.1371/journal.pone.0216980.t003 ###### Estimates of the average grain yield (GY), popping expansion (PE), and volume of popcorn per hectare (PV) for the 36 popcorn genotypes cultivated in environments with low- and high-phosphorus availability. {#pone.0216980.t003g} Genotype GY (Kg.ha^-1^) PE (mL.g^-1^) PV (m^3^.ha^-1^) --------------- ---------------- --------------- ------------------ --------- --------- --------- **P2** 1437.35 e 1796.83 f 20.96 d 21.80 d 29.98 e 39.45 f **P7** 1707.80 d 2127.77 e 27.22 b 30.80 a 46.13 d 65.07 d **L59** 1905.77 d 2472.76 d 23.04 c 24.00 c 44.19 d 59.32 d **P6** 1552.54 e 1729.02 f 24.01 c 26.70 c 37.69 e 46.47 f **L76** 953.71 f 1124.97 g 26.29 b 27.90 b 25.64 f 32.16 g **L77** 507.03 g 774.90 h 26.05 b 25.30 c 13.20 g 19.43 h **L75** 386.35 g 504.50 i 20.00 d 20.10 d 7.67 g 9.95 h **L80** 343.90 g 401.19 i 29.49 a 31.00 a 10.55 g 12.17 h **P2 × P7** 2359.40 c 2006.47 e 25.22 b 27.48 b 58.99 c 55.37 e **P2 × L59** 1951.18 d 1773.51 f 22.83 c 23.06 d 43.93 d 41.23 f **P2 × P6** 1990.21 d 2184.32 e 22.72 c 25.00 c 44.52 d 54.57 e **P2 × L76** 1814.20 d 2083.60 e 24.70 c 24.85 c 45.26 d 52.53 e **P2 × L77** 2007.60 d 2159.76 e 23.63 c 25.73 c 46.79 d 56.05 e **P2 × L75** 2491.73 c 2857.63 c 23.53 c 21.52 d 58.44 c 61.39 d **P2 × L80** 1905.39 d 2134.87 e 24.49 c 26.58 c 46.62 d 56.68 e **P7 × L59** 2905.84 b 3333.46 b 29.69 a 27.92 b 85.90 a 93.00 a **P7 × P6** 2293.87 c 2613.54 d 28.33 a 30.56 a 65.68 b 80.63 c **P7 × L76** 2960.35 b 3213.04 b 29.59 a 29.71 a 88.13 a 95.32 a **P7 × L77** 2736.51 b 3106.86 b 27.36 b 30.58 a 75.07 b 95.05 a **P7 × L75** 3058.55 b 3284.67 b 27.33 b 26.37 c 83.17 a 86.66 b **P7 × L80** 3057.82 b 3134.64 b 29.32 a 31.44 a 88.72 a 98.12 a **L59 × P6** 2690.12 b 2899.81 c 25.92 b 26.15 c 69.41 b 75.68 c **L59 × L76** 1737.63 d 2061.84 e 23.91 c 25.29 c 41.30 d 51.75 e **L59 × L77** 1750.21 d 2150.25 e 27.94 a 26.17 c 49.04 d 56.17 e **L59 × L75** 2634.36 c 2952.55 c 20.67 d 21.96 d 54.25 d 64.53 d **L59 × L80** 1555.62 e 2081.99 e 26.90 b 27.02 b 41.89 d 55.64 e **P6 × L76** 2615.98 c 2878.44 c 25.81 b 27.94 b 67.38 b 80.71 c **P6 × L77** 2754.53 b 3006.07 c 27.61 a 28.81 b 75.94 b 86.69 b **P6 × L75** 3862.42 a 3994.75 a 23.26 c 24.60 c 90.19 a 98.66 a **P6 × L80** 2810.30 b 3113.48 b 29.33 a 29.67 a 82.90 a 92.03 a **L76 × L77** 1203.27 e 1503.63 f 25.68 b 27.96 b 31.04 e 42.02 f **L76 × L75** 2257.84 c 2555.88 d 25.68 b 23.75 c 57.78 c 60.35 d **L76 × L80** 1206.70 e 1295.69 g 27.72 a 28.81 b 32.90 e 37.09 g **L77 × L75** 2765.39 b 3103.30 b 26.53 b 24.62 c 73.36 b 77.00 c **L77 × L80** 1792.40 d 2006.10 e 28.49 a 29.69 a 50.85 d 59.89 d **L75 × L80** 2605.31 c 2933.74 c 26.31 b 25.48 c 68.41 b 74.82 c **Average** 2071.37 2315.44 25.77 26.56 53.69 61.77 Averages followed by the same letter in a column belong to the same group according to the Scott-Knott algorithm, with a 5% probability level. The graphical dispersion of hybrids in quadrants in terms of their efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use revealed that the P6 × L75, P7 × L75, P7 × L80, P7 × L76, P7 × L59, P6 × L80, P7 × L77, L77 × L75, P6 × L77, L59 × P6, L59 × L75, L75 × L80, P6 × L76, and P2 × L75 combinations were efficient and responsive (ER); that is, those genotypes expressed an average productivity that was superior to the averages found under the low- and high-phosphorus environments ([Fig 1](#pone.0216980.g001){ref-type="fig"}). Out of the 14 hybrids classified as ER, eight contained in their genealogy at least one genitor classified as efficient and responsive *per se*, and the rest were hybrids derived from INR or intermediary lines. The genitors from the most productive hybrid (P6 × L75, which produced 3,862.42 and 3,994.75 kg ha^-1^ in the low- and high-phosphorus environments, respectively), were previously classified as intermediary and INR, demonstrating that a crossing between genitors with the best production performances will not always provide the best hybrids. Thus, there is a need to reflect the importance of the allelic complementation effect due to the presence of dominance, especially when the purpose of the improvement program is to explore heterotic hybrids \[[@pone.0216980.ref025]\]. {#pone.0216980.g001} In contrast, hybrids L76 × L75, P2 × P6, P2 × L77, P2 × L80, P2 × L59, P2 × L76, L77 × L80, L59 × L77, L59 × L76, L59 × L80, L76 × L77, and L76 × L80 were classified as INR ([Fig 1](#pone.0216980.g001){ref-type="fig"}); that is, their average productivity is lower in environments with and without nutritional stress. Out of the 12 hybrids classified as INR, eight contained at least one genitor classified as inefficient and unresponsive in their genealogy.

Gen: genotypes; GCA: general combining ability; SCA: specific combining ability; Environ: environments (site). GY: grain yield; PE: popping expansion; and PV: volume of expanded popcorn per hectare. The breakdown of genotypes in terms of their combining abilities revealed a significant effect of general combining ability (GCA) for the GY, PE, and PV characteristics under the low- and high-phosphorus environments ([Table 4](#pone.0216980.t004){ref-type="table"}). This finding indicates the presence of additive effects in the expression of those characteristics, considering that at least one of the genitors differs from the others in relation to the quantity of favorable alleles with additive effects for such characteristics. A significant effect was also observed in the specific combining ability (SCA) for the GY and PV characteristics in the low- and high-phosphorus environments ([Table 4](#pone.0216980.t004){ref-type="table"}). This finding indicates that the non-additive genetic effects also influence the expression of those characteristics and highlight the existence of an allelic complementation effect between the genitors in the loci with some degree of dominance. The absence of significant SCA for PE reveals the predominance of the genetic additive effects to control that characteristic, corroborating previous findings \[[@pone.0216980.ref026]--[@pone.0216980.ref028]\]. Despite significance in the mean squares estimates, the quadratic components of the fixed effects (Φg e Φs) are those that most accurately reveal the predominance of the genetic effects of the evaluated characteristics \[[@pone.0216980.ref018]\]. For GY and PV, there was a predominance of the Φs estimate over Φg in the low- and high-phosphorus environments, indicating that non-additive effects are more important for the expression of such characteristics ([Table 4](#pone.0216980.t004){ref-type="table"}). These results indicate that the best strategy to obtain genotypes that are efficient and responsive to phosphorus use for those characteristics should explore heterosis through the development and use of hybrids. Non-additive genetic effects usually prevail for grain yield in popcorn, as previously reported \[[@pone.0216980.ref026],[@pone.0216980.ref027],[@pone.0216980.ref029]\]. Conversely, there is a contradiction for phosphorus-use efficiency, since researchers have highlighted the importance of both additive and non-additive effects in different crops. For example, \[[@pone.0216980.ref030]\] a study on the inheritance efficiency of many mineral elements found in soy genotypes determined that additive effects were more important for all elements, except for copper, manganese, and zinc; \[[@pone.0216980.ref009]\], a study reported the prevalence of non-additive effects in the genetic control of phosphorus-use efficiency in corn; \[[@pone.0216980.ref031]\] another study reported the predominance of genetic additive effects for nitrogen-use efficiency in wheat; \[[@pone.0216980.ref015]\] a study evaluating the genetic effects of characteristics related to phosphorus-use efficiency in soy crops reported a prevalence of non-additive effects; and \[[@pone.0216980.ref032]\] a further study reported that the actions of non-additive genes were more important for corn grain yield in terms of their tolerance to acid soils. Selection of the diallel parental lines may interfere with the predominant expression of the genetic effects responsible for phosphorus-use efficiency. This is because both inbred lines, with a narrow genetic base, and varieties, with a broad genetic base \[[@pone.0216980.ref017]\], may be utilized. Therefore, each genitor may contribute differently, depending on the frequency of favorable alleles, thus providing contrasting results in relation to the predominant gene activity for a certain characteristic. The existing degree of genetic distance between parental lines also interferes with the genetic effects, since together with dominance deviations, it is utilized to estimate heterosis when identifying superior hybrids for phosphorus-use efficiency \[[@pone.0216980.ref033]\]. For PE, the Φg estimate was higher than the Φs estimate in environments with low and high soil phosphorus levels ([Table 4](#pone.0216980.t004){ref-type="table"}). Thus, genetic additive effects are important for the expression of that characteristic, corroborating previous results from studies investigating the inheritance of expansion capacity in popcorn \[[@pone.0216980.ref034],[@pone.0216980.ref026],[@pone.0216980.ref035],[@pone.0216980.ref036]\]. Such results indicate that adequate improvement strategies include intra-populational recurrent selection methods, to increase the frequency of alleles favorable to popping expansion. Considering that efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use in popcorn are directly related to grain yield, in which non-additive genetic effects are greater than additive effects, the selection of lines to obtain superior hybrids must be carefully undertaken based on their genealogical contexts. Thus, the selection of genitors with high PE values--popcorn's main qualitative characteristic---is an interesting strategy to aggregate superior qualities in hybrids according to the higher averages derived from additivity, enabling increased expression in both characteristics. According to Sprague and Tatum \[[@pone.0216980.ref037]\], general combining ability refers to the average performance of a line in hybrid combinations and is expressed by the "ĝ~i~" estimate. When high positive or negative values are observed, the result is an "i" genitor that is superior or inferior to the remaining genitors of the diallel in relation to the average of its hybrids. Regarding GY, the most outstanding lines with the best overall performances in the hybrid combinations due to their ĝ~i~ positive average magnitudes were: P7, P6, L75, and L59, in environments with low and high soil phosphorus levels ([Table 5](#pone.0216980.t005){ref-type="table"}). This finding indicates that the stressful environment did not impose a behavioral differentiation in the lines when combined with the remaining components of the diallel, as observed through the non-significance of the GCA × E interaction for GY ([Table 4](#pone.0216980.t004){ref-type="table"}). 10.1371/journal.pone.0216980.t005 ###### The average effect of the general combining ability (*ĝ*~*i*~) on grain yield, popping expansion, and popcorn volume in the inbred lines evaluated under low- and high-phosphorus environments. {#pone.0216980.t005g} Genitors General combining ability (*ĝ*~*i*~) ---------- -------------------------------------- --------- ------- ------- ------- ------- **P2** -124.79 -204.52 -2.28 -2.13 -7.87 -9.92 **P7** 414.56 410.93 1.94 2.66 15.47 17.84 **L59** 39.42 136.00 -0.80 -1.35 -0.91 0.07 **P6** 348.02 330.95 -0.09 0.71 8.82 10.60 **L76** -293.89 -299.69 0.38 0.50 -6.81 -7.18 **L77** -261.83 -225.32 0.74 0.51 -5.48 -4.42 **L75** 180.60 185.26 -1.86 -3.06 1.77 -1.26 **L80** -302.1 -333.61 1.96 2.16 -4.98 -5.73 GY: grain yield; PE: popping expansion; and PV: volume of popcorn per hectare. However, when classifying the lines in terms of phosphorus use, P7 and L59 were designated as efficient and responsive; P6 ranked as intermediate, and L75 was inefficient and non-responsive to phosphorus use ([Table 1](#pone.0216980.t001){ref-type="table"}). Conversely, among the lines that presented a less significant ĝ~i~ values, L80, L76, L77, and P2, lines L80 and L77 were classified as inefficient and non-responsive; L76, as intermediate; and P2 as efficient and responsive to phosphorus use. These results suggest there is some agreement between the lines evaluated and those resulting from the combining ability estimates. Thus, in studies involving phosphorus stress, the value of the lines and their ĝ~i~ and ŝ~ij~ estimates should be considered, since the selection of a genotype does not indicate its general and specific combining abilities. For the PE characteristic, lines L80 and P7 held the highest positive ĝ~i~ values in the environments with high and low phosphorus levels ([Table 5](#pone.0216980.t005){ref-type="table"}), indicating that the use of those lines as genitors should increase hybrid averages. Conversely, the most outstanding negative lines for ĝ~i~, P2, L75, and L59, in the high- and low-phosphorus environments must be discarded in the crossings to obtain hybrids with high PE values. By providing positive ĝ~i~ values for GY and PE, P7 is characterized as a line of interest for crossings to obtain superior hybrids in terms of efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use. Since PV positively and concomitantly associates grain yield and popping expansion, it led to an agreement in the higher and lower ĝ~i~ magnitude lines between GY and PE. Considering lines with the highest positive ĝ~i~ values for PV, P7, and P6, in the high- and low-phosphorus environments, P7 also comprised the groups with high ĝ~is~ values for PE and GY; and P6 belonged to the group with higher ĝ~i~ values for GY ([Table 5](#pone.0216980.t005){ref-type="table"}). Among the lines with unfavorable ĝ~is~ values for PV (P2, L76, L77, and L80) in environments with high and low phosphorus levels, all were equally unfavorable for GY in both environments, and P2 was unfavorable for PE. Analyzing the genealogical context in relation to the expressed results for general combining abilities regarding GY and PV, we may conclude that the lines derived from the "Zaeli" commercial hybrid were those that presented the highest ĝ~i~ values. This finding demonstrates that the genealogy has favorable genes and is of interest for both GY and for PV, whose characteristics are directly related to phosphorus use efficiency and responsiveness ([Table 1](#pone.0216980.t001){ref-type="table"}). In relation to PE, the genealogies with favorable genes highlighted the "Zaeli" commercial hybrid and the "Viçosa: UFV" population, with the exception of line L75, which expressed negative ĝ~i~ values. The specific combining ability is the behavior of a hybrid combination in relation to the average values of its genitors, expressed by the "ŝ~ij~" estimate. SCA occurs due to dominant genetic variance and other types of epistatic variance components. A promising hybrid must present a high estimate for specific combining ability, and at least one of its genitors must present high general combining ability \[[@pone.0216980.ref038]\]. For the GY characteristic, there was a predominance of dominant genetic effects for efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use. The six hybrids with the highest ŝ~ij~ estimates were: P6 × L75, P7 × L80, L77 × L75, P6 × L80, P7 × L76, and L75 × L80 ([Table 6](#pone.0216980.t006){ref-type="table"}). In those combinations, at least one of the genitors expressed a high ĝ~i~ estimate, consistent with the expected result based on the general combining ability reported by Cruz et al. \[[@pone.0216980.ref038]\]. Notably, those hybrid combinations expressed high averages for GY, varying from 2,605.31 to 3,994.75 Kg ha^-1^ in environments with contrasting phosphorus use, and were included in the first and second groups of the Scott-Knott algorithm \[[@pone.0216980.ref022]\], with the exception of hybrid L75 × L80. 10.1371/journal.pone.0216980.t006 ###### Effect of specific combining ability (*ŝ*~*ij*~) on grain yield, popping expansion, and popcorn volume of the diallelic hybrids evaluated in low- and high-phosphorus environments. {#pone.0216980.t006g} Hybrids Specific combining ability (*ŝ*~*ij*~) --------------- ---------------------------------------- --------- ------- ------- -------- -------- **P2 × P7** -1.74 -515.38 -0.20 0.38 -2.30 -14.32 **P2 × L59** -34.82 -473.41 0.14 -0.03 -0.98 -10.69 **P2 × P6** -304.39 -257.56 -0.67 -0.14 -10.11 -7.88 **P2 × L76** 161.51 272.36 0.84 -0.09 6.25 7.86 **P2 × L77** 322.86 274.15 -0.60 0.78 6.44 8.62 **P2 × L75** 364.55 561.45 1.91 0.14 10.85 10.80 **P2 × L80** 260.91 357.56 -0.96 -0.02 5.78 10.57 **P7 × L59** 380.49 471.10 2.78 0.05 17.65 13.32 **P7 × P6** -540.08 -443.77 0.71 0.63 -12.30 -9.57 **P7 × L76** 768.31 786.36 1.51 -0.02 25.79 22.90 **P7 × L77** 512.41 605.81 -1.09 0.85 11.38 19.86 **P7 × L75** 392.02 373.05 1.49 0.21 12.24 8.32 **P7 × L80** 873.99 741.89 -0.35 0.05 24.54 24.25 **L59 × P6** 231.31 117.43 1.04 0.23 7.82 3.24 **L59 × L76** -79.26 -89.91 -1.44 -0.42 -4.66 -2.91 **L59 × L77** -98.74 -75.86 2.23 0.45 1.73 -1.25 **L59 × L75** 342.97 315.86 -2.45 -0.20 -0.30 3.95 **L59 × L80** -253.07 -35.84 -0.03 -0.35 -5.90 -0.47 **P6 × L76** 490.48 531.74 -0.24 0.16 11.68 15.52 **P6 × L77** 596.97 585.00 1.19 1.03 18.90 18.74 **P6 × L75** 1262.43 1163.10 -0.56 0.39 25.91 27.55 **P6 × L80** 693.01 800.70 1.69 0.24 25.37 25.40 **L76 × L77** -312.37 -286.80 -1.21 0.38 -10.36 -8.15 **L76 × L75** 299.76 354.87 1.40 -0.26 9.14 7.03 **L76 × L80** -268.68 -386.46 -0.39 -0.42 -8.99 -11.76 **L77 × L75** 775.26 827.93 1.88 0.61 23.37 20.91 **L77 × L80** 284.96 249.58 0.02 0.45 7.61 8.27 **L75 × L80** 655.44 766.65 0.43 -0.19 17.93 20.04 GY: grain yield; PE: popping expansion; and PV: volume of expanded popcorn per hectare. Considering the averages observed in the sites, the most outstanding hybrids for PE in the low-phosphorus environment were: P7 × L59, L59 × L77, P2 × L75, L77 × L75 and P6 × L80, and in the high-phosphorus environment: P6 × L77, P7 × L77, P2 × L77, P7 × P6 and L77 × L75 ([Table 6](#pone.0216980.t006){ref-type="table"}). Such low agreement in the classification of hybrids between the different environments is explained by the significance of the SCA × E interaction ([Table 4](#pone.0216980.t004){ref-type="table"}). In addition, according to Vencovsky and Barriga \[[@pone.0216980.ref016]\], a selection should be performed for each specific environment making it possible to select, under specific conditions, the best hybrids deemed efficient and responsive to phosphorus use. Since PV is associated with GY and PE, the latter should present high average values, or at least one of them should be outstanding, with high average values. Thus, we may designate the hybrid combinations P6 × L75, P6 × L80, P7 × L80, P7 × L76, and L77 × L75 as having the most robust ŝ~ij~ estimates ([Table 6](#pone.0216980.t006){ref-type="table"}). All of those combinations were included in the first group of the Scott-Knott algorithm, with the exception of L77 × L75, and all presented high average values for the volume of expanded popcorn per hectare, varying from 82.90 to 98,66 m^3^ha^-1^ in environments with low and high phosphorus, respectively. Overall, the lines utilized in this diallel have genetic potential for the exploration of hybrids in terms of efficiency and responsiveness to soil phosphorus. Of the obtained hybrids, many were promising for individual characteristics. In conclusion, considering the predominance of genetic effects for the concomitantly analyzed characteristics, as well as their averages expressed under contrasting environments, the hybrid combinations that presented promising efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus can be summarized to the P7 × L80, P7 × L59, P7 × L76, and P6 × L80 combinations. Conclusions {#sec011} =========== The quadratic components of GCA were superior under the high and low phosphorus environments in terms of popping expansion, demonstrating a predominance of additive effects to promote efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use. The quadratic components of SCA were superior under the high and low phosphorus environments in terms of grain yield and volume of expanded popcorn per hectare, demonstrating the predominance of non-additive effects for efficiency and responsiveness to phosphorus use. Thus, the best strategy to obtain genotypes that are efficient and responsive to phosphorus use involves the exploration of heterosis through the identification of superior popcorn hybrids, by using genitors that provide an accumulation of additive genes that promote popping expansion. Hybrids P7 × L80, P7 × L59, P7 × L76, and P6 × L80 were promising and should be evaluated as cultivation options in phosphorus-deficient soils.

Despite huge advances in modern medicine the mortality rate in Australia continues to be 100%. Shock? Yes, the one thing we all have in common is that … we are going to die. Yet 60% of us here in Australia think we don’t talk enough about death. To overcome this, over the last 5 years I have been facilitating community conversations and events that raise our death literacy and capacity for end-of-life planning. Hundreds of people have generously shared their stories and insights at Death Cafes, Death Over Dinner, Dying To Know Day, speaking engagements and on my pop-up Before I Die Wall. Launch of Pushing Up Daisies Workshop A few days ago I launched a values-based workshop – Pushing Up Daisies: Building your death literacy and capacity for practical and creative end-of-life planning – with a pilot group of 14 wonderful, courageous people as part of the Connect and Thrive with Age program funded by SA Health. The workshop explores death in Australia in the 21st century and how you can creatively, practically and cost-effectively respond. I have incorporated all I have been experiencing and learning in this space over the last 7 years into the workshop, supported by the latest research. In a welcoming safe space, we explore answers to questions such as: - What is death? - How long will I live? - What will I die of? - Where will I die? - Do I need a funeral director? - Bury or burn or … ? - What’s important to me? - How to communicate my wishes? - Can I grow with grief? We do this by looking at what’s happening in Australia right now in each of these areas and then think about what that means for us and what we would like to do in-line with our beliefs and values. So it’s a very personal, hands-on, practical experience and you walk away with resources and a doable action plan. The workshop was hosted by the Connect and Thrive With Age team, headed up by Rhonda Smedley; at the Uniting Church hall at Walkerville last Friday 9th August. The light lunch and refreshments were mouth-wateringly delicious as always! Homemade everything from generous-sized mugs of pumpkin soup with think crusty fresh bread to an array of slices with nuts and fruit. In fact one of the feedback suggestions was a longer break to enjoy more of that scrumptious food! The top values when thinking about death were: - Not being alone - Not being a burden on family and friends - Being able to say goodbye to loved ones - Staying active and independent for as long as possible - Being able to have fresh air - Being an advocate for someone who is dying - Being informed about my illness and treatment - Quality of life over length of life Some of the insights gained by the group were: - The importance of getting on with my Advanced Care Directive and Enduring Power of Attorney and that they can be uploaded to My Health Record. - I was pleased that the research that I have conducted, was affirmed by your event. This gives me the confidence to continue with my checklist and to be bold in conducting conversations. - The need to talk to my children about end of life plans. - Keep all important documents and information in one, easy to find, folder. - It is so important to discuss death/funeral wishes with your family as when you ask them what they would like, they haven’t even thought about it and therefore don’t even know what they want. Kind words … And some lovely kind words were shared about the workshop: - Death is not an easy topic to discuss but Abby made each and everyone of us feel comfortable, enabling us to talk openly and honestly. - It was interesting, interactive, the right length of time and compassionate. Well done. - Attending the workshop has created much interesting discussion with my family and also work colleagues. - The workshop has empowered me with knowledge and resources that I may one day need to use and has allowed me to think about what I would really like when I die. - Great to receive information about many end of life issues and a safe environment to discuss these in. - Loved how you started the workshop as it got us all thinking and talking. I was interested in the reactions and interpretations from each member of the group. - Attending the workshop was time very well spent. Much good practical advice associated with death, bereavement and funeral planning was dispensed. Many myths associated with the funeral industry were dispelled. - Abby’s caring and thoughtful facilitation brought together a diverse group of participants creating a safe learning space to explore death, dying and getting organised. To consider, plan and not be afraid. I felt blessed to share this time with my sister as we share life, living and the inevitably of leaving this place. - Thank you for a professional, entertaining and informative workshop. Talking about Death and Dying is clearly a topic that you are comfortable talking with and about to others. During the workshop a few members of the group had difficulty in speaking; were overwhelmed by their grief and loss. Your knowledge, confidence, experiences, understanding and compassion were clearly demonstrated, enabling them to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences. Book a workshop I would love to facilitate this important workshop for your workplace, community group or family and friends. We need this information back in our communities. Call me on 0409 830 927 or email me on abby@ourfamilycelebrant.com.au to make it happen for you and your group.

Wednesday, 27 January 2016 26 October 1890 - 'A Week in Paris for Six Pounds' by Evelyn Upton However much people may differ as to the desirability of visiting other celebrated localities, I think all will be agreed that no man or woman should cross the English Channel without making a point of seeing Paris. Its historical association alone would entitle it to a visit. And perhaps the reason that many more who could appreciate and enjoy its attraction do not participate in them, is either on account of an exaggerated fear of journeying difficulties, such as language, foreign coinage, etc., or else the very common complaint of a limited purse. With regard to the first set of obstacles, they usually vanish into thin air when resolutely confronted; and with regard to the second, when I have shown how a week may be spent in Paris profitably and pleasurably for the small sum of six pounds, including the return fare, some of my readers may be tempted to make the trial. Although I only give the scale of expenses for one person, I do not for a moment propose that one lady - least of all a young lady - should spend a week in Paris by herself. It would, indeed, be the height of impropriety. In fact, every young woman, whether she be of gentle or humble birth, who visits Paris, cannot remember too often that more discreetness of behaviour is necessary there than in any other city in the world. This I can vouch for from my own observation. It is obvious that to limit the expenses of a week in Paris to six pounds will involve a certain amount of economy. I should arrange the various items thus - Return Fare, via Dieppe, 2nd Class - £2 2s. 3d. Saloon on Return Voyage - 4s. 6d. Registering Luggage - 2s. Board and Lodging for Six Days, at 8s per day - £2. 8s. Sightseeing and Conveyance for One Week - 10s. 6d. Extras - 12s. 9d. Total - £6. I leave a wide margin for extras, as this must include gratuities to hotel servants, railway porters, etc., which, however, will be lessened by being shared by your companions. Then it is impossible to gauge accurately another person's power of walking or enduring fatigue, though as a rule I have allowed for no walking except to and from the omnibus office, and for convenience I am supposing your hotel will be within easy reach of the Place de la Concorde. Of course none but a tolerably strong young woman would attempt to crowd the following programme into one week. And if your hotel only provides breakfast and table d'hote, you will require some refreshment in the middle of the day; but in the buoyant air of Paris a modest lunch, costing half a franc, will be found quite sufficiently sustaining. Most people have friends who, from personal experience, are able to recommend moderate hotels in Paris; but failing this, the most direct plan is to apply for Cook's hotel coupons. For the sum of ten francs, or eight shillings per day, you secure bedroom, lights, and service, plain breakfast and table d'hote. Some hotels even provide three meals a day for the same sum. In any case you must engage your room beforehand, and I think also it is best to change a sovereign into French money before starting; for one cannot depend on one's fitness for monetary transactions after a long and perhaps rough sea voyage, and the relief of finding yourself already provided with current coins is great. But mind you get small as well as large change, for one cannot afford to throw away even a sou recklessly. As only 56 lbs weight of luggage is allowed each passenger, a small tin box or valise holding one dress, one change of raiment, and the few other indispensables, will be found quite sufficient for such a short visit. There is the other alternative of taking your luggage with you under the carriage seat, but to my mind a shilling expended on registering it through from London to Paris is the far better plan, as when this is done your responsibility concerning it ceases altogether. Nothing can be nicer for the wear and tear of daily sight-seeing than a well-made travelling dress of light texture. As to whether you choose the day or night service from London must depend partly on your qualifications as a sailor, and also on your powers of enduring fatigue ; for there are not many women who, after travelling all night, would be able to spend the succeeding day in sight-seeing. We will suppose, therefore, that you decide on the day service, and that you leave London on a Tuesday morning at nine o'clock. On arriving at the Saint Lazare station in Paris as soon as you have rescued your luggage from the tender mercies of the Douane - and most probably your small box will escape inspection entirely - hire a voiture and drive to your hotel. Paris cab fares are regulated on a different scale to the London ones. Of course you will start provided with a good Guide to Paris, in which cab and omnibus fares as well as several other important pieces of information are given. A very comprehensive Guide can be bought for one shilling and as you will have at least one companion, the cab fare to and from the station on arrival and departure will be halved. Wednesday - Versailles, Trianons, S. Cloud. If your first day in Paris appears likely to be fine, you cannot do better than spend it at the historical palace of Versailles. Leave by the ten o'clock tramcar for Versailles, or earlier if possible. It starts from the Quai de Louvre, and before taking your seat outside you must first enter the omnibus office and procure a numero or ticket. Always go outside the omnibus or tramcar when the weather is fine; it is cheaper, and you will get a much better view of Paris. You will find it more convenient to join the tramcar at the Champs Elysees office. The drive is a very pretty one, running parallel with the Seine for a great part of the way, and then passing through S. Cloud and Sevres, and ultimately landing you at the very door of the Palace of Versailles. To see it thoroughly would take several days. One must therefore be content with a hurried survey of the miles of paintings, principally battle pieces, covering the walls of the great picture gallery on the ground floor. Ad in like manner must the Galerie de Sculptures be treated. The whole place so teems with historical memories that wherever you tread you are brought in contact with the great dead and gone monarchs of France. In the Kings' apartments are numerous relics of Louis XIV., and also a piece of sculpture - the death of Napoleon I., which, though modern, struck me very much indeed on account of its realistic power. The splendid hall of mirrors, with its 242 feet of polished floor, and its unique view over the lovely gardens, takes one back to that bleak January day, when, surrounded b his generals, the grand old king of Prussia was proclaimed Emperor of Germany. And lovers of Carlyle's "French Revolution" look with heightened interest at the celebrated Oeil de Beouf, in which so much public mischief, gigantic in its results, had its origin. But most interesting of all to my mind are the private apartments of the ill-fated Marie Antoinette - the furniture still retaining its coverings of pale blue brocaded damask - and the small secret stair down which she fled, when, on 6 October 1789, the infuriated mob broke into these very rooms. But when your time is so limited it is impossible to linger long in the palace or the grounds; so taking a bird's eye view of the gardens, it is best to walk on to the Trianons, Great and Little, situated half a mile distant, and easily reached by a direct road through the park. They both contain many objects of interest, but they do not take long to inspect., and the loiterings in the lovely gardens must be so curtailed as to allow of your reaching Versailles in time to catch a return tramcar to S. Cloud, where you should descend to view the shell of the ruined palace, and to stroll quickly through the magnificent avenues of the beautiful park. Then back by steamboat to Paris, for it is best to vary your routes as much as possible, and where it is practicable go and return two different ways. But if when you are planning out your day you find the steamboat would not bring you to your hotel in time for table d'hote, you must either give up one of the above named sights, or else take S. Cloud on the way to Versailles, and return from Versailles by railway, which, however, makes the difference of a franc in the expense. If not too tired, walk down the Rue de Rivoli, and spend the evening in the arcades of the Palais Royal, as the shops are seen to best advantage when illuminated. I have carried out this programme in one day, so I know it can be done. Expenses - Tram to Versailles, 85 c. Versailles to S. Cloud, 50 c. Steamboat, 30 c. Total, 1 franc, 35 c. Thursday y - S. Denis, Palais de Justice, Saint Chapelle, Musee de Cluny, S. Sulpice, Palais de Luxembourg. As the tramcar for S. Denis starts from the Rue Taitbout, by leaving your hotel a little earlier, you will be able on the way to inspect the Grand Opera, the largest theatre in the world, built at a cost of a million and a half pounds sterling. S. Denis is the Westminster Abbey of Paris, the burial-place of the French kings since the third century; and the Abbey has had a share in all the subsequent history of Paris. Here Joan of Arc hung up her banner, and here also was carefully laid up the oriflamme, the royal standard with the flames of gold always carried before the king when he led his troops in person to battle. Among the royal tombs are those of Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette. After life's fitful fever they sleep well in this grand old abbey. S. Denis can easily be seen in a morning; so early in the afternoon take the tramcar to S. Michel, and visit the Palais de Justice, the site of a palace for a long time the residence of the Kings of France, but now principally used as Law Courts, very little of the original structure being left. But the whole place is historical. One the facade overlooking the Quai de l'Horloge is the entrance to the Conciergerie, so notable in the history of the great Revolution. To view it an order must be procured from the Bureau de Police. Here Marie Antoinette found her last earthly shelter before she laid her head on the guillotine. By a sort of solemn mockery the cell was afterwards turned into a chapel, but burnt by the Communists in 1871. Here also the notorious Robespierre was imprisoned, and in an adjoining hall the famous Girondin conspirators supped together on the night before their execution. It is a relief to turn from these gloomy memories to the lovely little Sainte Chapelle, the palace chapel, so rich in Gothic carvings, and the most superb stained glass windows. The Musee de Cluny must next be inspected. If time presses, a walk through the rooms will just give a general idea. The Roman alter in the gardens is said to be the oldest existing monument in Paris. The church of S. Sulpice being close at hand also claims a visit on account of its fine frescoes. Finally, a glance at the sculptures and the picture gallery in the Luxembourg, and a stroll in the gardens, listening to the military band, which plays on Thursdays only, from five to six o'clock, will compete the sight-seeing for the afternoon. By taking the tramway back along the Boulevard S. Germain, you will pass the Church of S. Germain de Pres, one of the oldest churches in Paris, and several large public buildings, the principal of which is the Palais Bourbon, where the legislative body hold their assemblies. In crossing the Place de la Concorde you see the very spot, now marked by the Luxor Obelisk, where, a century ago, the dreadful guillotine stood. Here Charlotte Corday met her death; here also Robespierre ended his bloody life, and Danton met the just reward of his crimes. Here, too, perished, during the Reign of Terror, the weak-minded Louis XVI., the stately Marie Antoinette, the gentle Madame Elizabeth, and a great number of others, more than 2,000, whose names have not been preserved on any earthly record - "Martyrs by the pang without the palm!" The evening may be spent on the Boulevards watching the Parisian outdoor life. Expenses - Tram to S. Denis and back, 60 c.; admission to the Royal Tombs, 1 franc; tram to S. Michel and back, 30 c. Total, 1 franc, 90 c. Friday - Tuileries Gardens, Louvre, Place de la Bastille, Pere la Chaise, Buttes Chaumont. At least one whole morning should be devoted to the Louvre; and more time if you could spare it. For it is one of these museums which you may hurry through in an hour, or spend several days among its priceless treasures without having examined them. You can approach it through the Tuileries gardens, and view the spot where for three centuries stood the historical Palace of the Tuileries, but which is now, alas! no more. Then crossing the Place du Carrousel, so named from its having been the scene of a tournament in the days of Louis XIV., you face the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, built by Napoleon I. to celebrate some of his victories. Originally the top was decorated by the famous chariot and four horses from S. Mark's, at Venice but after the peace of 1814 it was taken back to Venice. The Palace of the Louvre dates from the time of Francis I., and most of the sovereigns since have had a share in its construction and embellishment. Were it only for the fact that from one of its windows on the western facade Charles IX., with his own hand, fired on the Huguenots during the massacre of S. Bartholomew, it would be invested with undying interest. As there is so much to see in the palace, it is best to read up an account of it beforehand, and then determine how you will spend your time. Speaking broadly, the works of art are divided into sculptures and paintings. Whatever else you do not see, do not fail to look at the Venus de Milo, one of the two perfect statues of the female figure the world possesses, the other being the Venus de Medici at Florence. In the picture galleries the most time must be devoted to the Salon Carre and the Grands Galerie, which contain matchless Murillos, glorious Titians, and priceless Raphaels. With many of them we have become familiar through photographs and engravings. And the French galleries, rich in masterpieces of Poussin and Claude Lorraine, must by no means be overlooked. By quitting the palace through the entrance in the Place de Louvre, you will see in front of you the church of S. Germain l'Auxerrois. From this very church, more than three hundred years ago, in the solemn stillness of the summer night, the great bell sounded out the signal for the massacre of the unsuspecting Huguenots. In the afternoon walk through the Place Vendome and notice the column erected by Napoleon I. to celebrate his victories over the Austrians and Prussians. At the Madeleine take an omnibus which will pass along the great Boulevards des Italiens, Poissonniere etc., through the Place de la Republique, and will land you at the Place de la Bastille. Today the Colonne de Juillet is all that marks the site of the most famous prison in the annals of history. The number of state prisoners who pined away and died in its dungeons will never be accurately known. The story of the Man in the Iron Mask has invested the castle with a mysterious interest for all young readers of French history. In the Revolution the fortress was stormed, the brave governor and his companions beheaded, and the castle levelled with the ground, a fitting culmination to all the previous tragedies that had been enacted there. Leading out of the Place de la Bastille is the Rue S. Antoine, once a fashionable quarter, but a century ago the hot-bed of revolutionary conspiracy. It is frequently mentioned in Dickens' attractive story "The Tale of Two Cities". The Place de la Bastille is about a mile from the cemetery of Pere la Chaise, which you can reach either by omnibus or on foot. The guide will point out the most interesting tombs, among which are those of Abelard and Heloise, Bellini, Chopin and Count Lavalette, who was rescued by his wife from prison and death. Then walk to the Parc des Buttes Chaumont, and view the spot where the murdered body of the brave Admiral Coligny was exposed on the gibbet. Return to Paris by the Centure Railway, and spend the evening at a cafe concert in the Champs Elysees. Expenses - Omnibus to Pere la Chaise, 30c.; Guide in cemetery, 2 francs; Centure Railway, 2nd class, 55 c.; cafe concert, 1 franc; total, 3 francs, 85 c. Saturday - Arc de Triomphe, Jardin d'Acclimitation, Bois de Boulogne, Chateau and Park of Vincennes. Any omnibus will take you up the avenue of the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe. The extensive view from the top is well worth the somewhat fatiguing climb. Another omnibus will take you to the Jardin d'Acclimitation, the Parisian Zoological Gardens, after exploring which you can walk about the Bois in the vicinity of the lakes, which are situated near the entrance. If preferred you can hire a voiture and drive to the Grande Cascade and back by the lakes; but of course this is more expensive, and I do not think the Grande Cascade at all worth seeing. On the return to Paris, descend for a look at the Parc Monceau. Afternoon - to see the Chateau of Vincennes, one must reach it by tramway from the Louvre soon after three, as the castle is closed to visitors at four o'clock. Within its walls of gigantic thickness many eminent prisoners have been confined, among whom were the great Conde, the famous Duc d'Enghien, and Mirabeau, of "oaken strength", who crowded more work into one day than most men do in a month. If you feel equal to it, and times and seasons fit, walk through the Bois de Vincennes and take the boat at Charenton back to Paris. Expenses - Trams to Bois and back, 60 c.; Jardin d'Acclimitation, 1 franc; tram to Vincennes, 20 c.; steamboat, 30 c.; total, 2 francs, 10 c. Sunday - On all accounts it is best to make Sunday as much as possible a day of rest. Church of England services are held in the Church of the Embassy in the Rue d'Aguesseau and also at Christ Church, Boulevard Bineau. This latter is situated outside the fortifications, and is consequently some little distance from the central parts of Paris. Those who take an interest in mission work should visit Miss Leigh's Home for Governesses in the Avenue Wagram, or Miss de Broen's Belleville Mission at the Rue Clavel, near Buttes Chaumont. And those who are anxious to see for themselves what a French Catholic service is like can witness the celebration of Mass in the beautiful church of La Madeleine. Before entering be sure to study carefully the exquisitely carved figures over the front entrance. As I gazed upon them I understood for the first time in my life how the sculptor's chisel could bring undreamed of beauty and life out of the solid marble block. Very fine musical services are held in the Catholic churches of S. Roche in the Rue S. Honore, and S. Eustache, in the Rue Montmartre. This last is also architecturally interesting, as being a very fine example of the late Gothic and Renaissance periods. The richly decorated chapels, with their fine frescoes, claim more than a passing glance. Monday - Halles Centrales, Notre Dame, Morgue Pantheon, S. Etienne, Church of the Invalides, Tomb of Napoleon. It is very necessary to bear in mind that Monday being the cleaning day, most of the galleries and museums are closed to the public. Consequently, I Have reserved the principal churches in Paris for this last day. You can begin by taking the tram down to the Halles Centrales, and the earlier the better. It is the largest market in Paris, and is well worth seeing; but for intrinsic beauty I think most visitors would prefer the flower market held on the Boulevard de la Madeleine just behind the church. Then if you walk past the Tour S. Jacques, a comparatively modern erection, and the beautiful Hotel de Ville which has succeeded the one burnt down by the infuriated Communists, you will soon reach the Cathedral of Notre Dame, one of the finest Gothic churches in Europe. It has several times narrowly escaped destruction. In the Revolution it was doomed, but the decree was not put into execution, and in 1871 the Communists actually attempted to burn this splendid cathedral, but most happily failed. The whole exterior should be carefully studied - the beautiful carvings, the statues of the twenty-eight French kings, each in his separate niche, which adorn the west front, and the flying buttresses at the east end. As soon s you enter, the tout ensemble of the nave and double sides, and the glorious colouring of the stained glass, through which a subdued light shines, cannot fail to impress you most forcibly, even though you were the most impassive of mortals. Although you may not believe in the authenticity of the relics, it is as well to see the treasury in which they are kept; and the same fee will also include admission to the chapter house, choir, and sacristy. Immediately behind Notre Dame stands the Morgue. As one of the sights of Paris, though a ghastly one, I mention it; but I do not recommend anyone with sensitive nerves to visit it. It seems hardly fair to go straight from Notre Dame to the Pantheon, for naturally the two churches will not bear the least comparison. But the frescoes in the Pantheon are very interesting. Almost the only historical associations connected with the building were done away with when the bodies of Mirabeau, Marat and Voltaire were removed from the vaults. The neighbour Church of S. Etienne du Mont, has a far more beautiful interior. Its exquisite choir screen and spiral staircase are unique in their way. It stands on the site of an ancient abbey, founded by Clovis, the first Christian king of the Franks. A steamboat taken from the Pont du Neuf will land you at the Pont des Invalides, a very short distance from the church of the same name. Beneath its dome repose the ashes of the great conqueror - Napoleon I. After you have looked and wondered and reflected on the end of all human greatness, walk to the Champs de Mars, the site of the International Exhibition. Return on foot along the Quai d'Orsay, and fill up for the remainder of the day with shopping in the Rue de Rivoli. The Louvre Magasin is also specially worthy of a visit. Then be ready to leave Paris by the evening tidal train, and cross by the night service, via Dieppe and Newhaven, arriving in London about 9 o'clock next morning. You will find it best to take a transfer ticket for the saloon on board. Expenses - Tram to Halles Centrales, 15 c.; Notre Dame, 50 cc.; steamboat, 15 c. Total, 80 c.

Soft Computing is all about inexact solutions for computationally difficult tasks, such as using polynomial time approximation algorithms for NP-complete problems. Soft Computing can be considered a paradigm shift away from the more traditional ‘hard computing’ perception, where data and results are precise. In some respects, Soft Computing is influenced by and based on the human mind, which has a remarkable ability to identify and store relevant information among copious amounts of information, much of which may be vague and only partially observed or sensed. Soft Computing is already playing a significant role in delivering computation solutions in science and engineering applications. Many Soft Computing techniques are suited to a wide variety of applications, for which the data and inputs that are worked on may be of varying levels of uncertainty and partial truths. This may be extremely important for safety-critical systems (e.g. a ballistic missile guidance control system), in which the system needs to continue working as reliably as possible, even when data may be patchy and sensors working erratically. The Soft Computing Research Group at the UCT Department of Electrical Engineering provides postgraduate students with the opportunity to be involved with research projects related to Soft Computing. Research in this group is divided into the following three main areas: Postgraduate students completing their specialisation in this field will find a number of career possibilities in the Soft Computing field. The demand for experts in this area is high across many sectors in different countries, ranging from consumer products, manufacturing and industrial applications to highly complex, high-risk space systems.

The nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos) is a small bird. It used to be put in the thrush family Turdidae. Now it is put on the Old World flycatchers, a group often called the chats or chat-thrushes. Its resemblance to thrushes is an example of convergent evolution. It is a migratory insectivorous species. It breeds in forests and scrubs in Europe and south-west Asia. The distribution is more southerly than the very closely related thrush nightingale Luscinia luscinia. It nests on the ground in or next to dense bushes. It passes the winter southern Africa. Studies have shown that nightingales seem to choose places to breed that meet certain criteria (Wink 1973): less than 200 meters above mean sea level mean air temperature during the growing season above 14 degC more than 20 days/year on which temperatures are above 25 degC less than 750mm of rain per year. no closed canopy. The Nightingale is slightly larger than the robin, at around 15-16.5 cm length. It is plain brown above except for the reddish tail. It is buff to white below. Sexes are similar. Nightingales are named so because they frequently sing at night as well as during the day. The name has been used for well over 1,000 years, being highly recognizable even in its Anglo-Saxon form - 'nihtingale'. It means 'night songstress'. Early writers assumed the female sang; in fact, it is the male. The song is loud, with an impressive range of whistles, trills and gurgles. Its song is particularly noticeable at night because few other birds are singing. This is why its name (in several languages) includes "night". Only unpaired males sing regularly at night, and nocturnal song is likely to serve attracting a mate. Singing at dawn, during the hour before sunrise, is assumed to be important in defending the bird's territory. Nightingales sing even more loudly in urban or near-urban environments, in order to overcome the background noise. The most characteristic feature of the song is a loud whistling crescendo, absent from the song of thrush nightingale. It has a frog-like alarm call. Culture A Provencal folk song, The Nightingale Which Flies, inspired Tchaikovsky when composing his Humoresque opus 10-2.

Microsoft Releases H.264 Extension for Google Chrome With Google recently announcing plans to remove support for H.264 video playback in its Chrome web browser, Microsoft has decided to release its own H.264 extension for Chrome. Dubbed the Windows Media Player HTML5 Extension for Chrome, this extension enables Chrome users to play H.264-encoded videos (aka MP4) on HTML5 pages by using the built-in capabilities found in Windows 7. The company is providing more information about this decision in two related blog posts: We believe that Windows customers should be able to play mainstream HTML5 video and, as we’ve described in previous posts, Internet Explorer 9 will support playback of H.264 video as well as VP8 video when the user has installed a VP8 codec. H.264 is an excellent and widely-used video format that serves the web very well today. As such, we will continue to ensure that developers and customers continue to have an optimal Web experience. Setting aside the speculation about the reasons and objectives, this [Google] announcement has created instability and uncertainty around video on the Web. To get back on track, technical enthusiasts, developers, businesses, and consumers need consistent and sustainable answers to many questions about [Google's] WebM [video format]. Microsoft’s Point of View Any browser running on Windows can play H.264 video via the built-in Windows APIs that support the format. Our point of view here is that Windows customers should be able to play mainstream video on the Web. We’ve provided Windows 7 customers who choose to run Mozilla Firefox an add-on to enable playing H.264 video on Web pages with the HTML5 video tag. Today we’re making available a similar plug-in for Google Chrome. Our point of view is totally clear. Our support for H.264 results from our views about a robust Web and video ecosystem that provides a rich level of functionality, is the product of an open standards process like the W3C’s HTML5 specification, and has been free from legal attacks. Microsoft is agnostic and impartial about the actual underlying video format for HTML5 video as long as this freedom continues. Discuss this Article 3 So they're basically saying that users of Windows 7 get a better internet experience that on another OS, even if they want to use Chrome or Firefox. Smart. BTW Paul: Generalizing H.264 as "MP4" sounds about intelligent as saying "quad-core Core 2 Duo". It's only one level of MPEG-4 (it's "Part 10"), and there are numerous parts (specifications). In fact, if I wanted to be a complete dick, I'd just say you were wrong because "MP4" is just a container file format that's specified under MPEG-4 Part 14, but I'm not judging... ;) PS: WMP will play any H.264 video stream inside practically any container (except Quicktime from my experience, probably due to the header info). Whether or not this new plugin will redirect a file with something other than an MP4 container file to WMP remains to be seen. However, if it's in an MP4 container, it's likely that the video stream could be encoded with any codec that WMP plays back. I do wish I could have Quicktime files playing on Windows Media Player. I have to use Quicktime and its so dated. Its such a pain having to move the window around before I can get to the bottom right corner to adjust its size. What I Use Like many, I was hoping to see a new Lumia flagship before the end of 2014, and while I was pleasantly surprised in some ways by both the Lumia 735 and 830, neither offers the level of performance or best-in-market camera quality I had come to expected from Microsoft/Nokia's high-end devices. So I pulled the trigger on an unlocked Windows Phone flagship that will hopefully take me through at least the first half of this year. Or until Microsoft gets off its low-end fixation and satisfies the needs of its biggest fans....More It's been a while since the last What I Use, but there haven't been many major changes since late last year: Surface Pro 3 has become my go-to travel companion, I've added a third cellphone line for testing Windows Phone, Android and iPhone side-by-side, and have rotated through some new tablets and other devices. We've also switched from FIOS to Comcast and added to our set-top box collection....More

Our Gluten Free Dump Cake (aka Pineapple Cherry Cobbler) is a Summertime favorite, especially if you bake it in the early morning before the high heat of the day heats up your kitchen. And because it's super-easy, you won't break a sweat throwing it together. It's also perfect for getting the kids to help because the name kinda describes the most challenging part of the recipe - dumping the ingredients into a pan (or 9x13 glass dish as we prefer). This recipe is a GF twist on our late Dad's (father/father-in-law) favorite dessert. He never did much cooking, but he was always so proud of himself for making this sweet treat. Perhaps he enjoyed it best because there weren't any mixers, or bowls or special utensils to clean up. If all goes well, you can clean up by simply licking the spatula before it goes into the dishwasher. : ) Enjoy! ~ The LifeAfterGluten Crew INGREDIENTS: 1 box of your favorite GF yellow cake mix (we prefer Betty Crocker's GF Yellow Cake Mix) 2 cans (15oz) Dark Sweet Cherries - juice drained 1 can (20oz) Crushed Pineapple - we use Dole 1 stick of unsalted butter - sliced into 1/4 inch pats Are you starting to see why we love this recipe? Preheat your oven to 350 degrees - making this Gluten Free cake is so quick & easy that preheating the oven is usually the longest step in dump cake preparation. Grab your favorite 9x13 cake pan or glass dish (our choice), lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking. We use a splash of grape seed oil (does well at baking temps) and spread evenly with a paper towel. Drain any excess. Next, DUMP the crushed pineapple into your pan, juice and all. Spread evenly with your spatula. Next, DUMP the cherries (without juice) in an even fashion. (Dad's recipe called for a 20oz can of Cherry Pie Filling but we've found that 2 15oz cans of all-natural Dark Sweet Cherries (no High Fructose Corn Syrup, additives, dyes, etc) works well with the GF cake mix. Add or delete cherry juice as necessary to find the right consistency for your taste buds. Also, Dad's recipe used 2 sticks of butter, but that's just a little more than our cholesterol-conscience diets require. Next, DUMP the cake mix evenly atop your fruit and then place the butter pats atop the cake mix, covering evenly. Pop it into the oven for 45-60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and you'll have the best, easiest Summer treat you can imagine. (Mmmm - thanks Dad!) Oh, don't forget to top things off with some French Vanilla ice cream. Back to more GF Recipes Back to our Gluten Free Home Page

Biochemistry is the study of chemical reactions in living beings, and of biological molecules in general. It is important to cell biology and physiology. The study of biochemistry involves enzymes, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, sugars, proteins, and lipids. In the body, most of the molecules are polymers built of long chains of smaller molecules. Biochemistry studies the chemical transformations which produce these small building-block molecules, and which produce energy from food. A person who studied biochemistry is called biochemist. Macromolecules The biologic polymers can have between tens of thousands to tens of millions of atoms, or more. These polymers are composed of many small molecules, each of which has no more than fifty atoms. These small molecules are made almost exclusively from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. They also contain sulfur, phosphorus, and few other atoms, which are critical to the biological functioning of these polymers. There are four types of macromolecules. Nucleic Acids Nucleic acids are long-chain molecules which are of two kinds: DNA and RNA. Their building blocks are called nucleotides. DNA is found in every cell. It contains the information needed to make all of the nucleic acids, and all of the proteins. It is found joined up in a double helix. It is the substance of heredity, and holds the information which life passes from generation to generation. RNA acts to make the information from DNA work inside the cells of the body. To make a particular protein the information in the DNA is transferred to an RNA molecule. Another RNA molecule uses this as a set of instructions for making the protein. The RNA which makes protein is called a ribosome and it acts as a ribozyme vastly increasing the speed with which the individual amino acids connect together to form the protein. Proteins Proteins are polymers of amino acids. There are twenty different common types of amino acid. Broadly speaking, proteins have two kinds of function. The first is structural: they make up many of the key structures in cells and tissues. Muscle, hair, and skin are all mainly made of protein. The second is functional: as enzymes they greatly speed up the chemical reactions in a living cell. All cellular life consists of a thousand, or more, chemical reactions, called metabolism, which transform the molecules eaten into energy, or into other molecules the cell needs to survive. The function of proteins is to speed up these reactions, often by over a million times faster. In addition they cause chemical reactions to occur which would not without the action of the protein. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates include sugars and starches. Sugars are the simplest carbohydrates. The monosaccharides are "single sugars", such as glucose and fructose. The disaccharides are two monosaccharides joined. Table sugar (cane sugar) is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. The polysaccharides are made from many monosaccharids joined. The vast majority of polysaccharides are polymers of glucose, and are of two types: starch and cellulose. Starch is the white stuff of grain, potatoes, apples, and bread, and is a readily available source of energy for the body. Cellulose is the structural material that holds up all plants. Half of the material that makes wood is cellulose. Carbohydrates have a number of functions in the body, but the most important is to act as a ready source of energy for the cell's metabolism. By breaking the chemical bonds in carbohydrates, energy is released and can be used by the body. Lipids Lipids are fats, and waxes. Saturated lipids contain single bonds, and are found in butter and lard. Unsaturated lipids have one or more double bonds, and are often found in oils. The human body stores lipids as an energy source. When the body needs a large amount of energy, lipid molecules are broken down to release that energy.

. 16 comments: I've been using smcFanControl 2.1 () and it works just as well. when i get my mbp back from applecare, i will check out the fsn utility. i just received my refurb mbp on saturday and there was a slight divot on the plastic seal between the top face of the keyboard and the front face. i wouldn't have cared except my left wrist passes on the divot when using the mbp and it's uncomfortable. so, my new mbp is gone for a week - i'm sad. i'll just live vicariously through your posts and use my crappy acer until it returns. I think it would be worth trying going without the fan control for a few days and seeing if you have any heat issues. Your initial heat problems may have just been from spotlight indexing going full tilt for an extended period of time. I found that putting the form fitting plastic casing sold at the Apple Store reduced the heat issue and also keeps my 15" MacBook Pro in top resale condition. It was like $40 bucks. Speck SeeThru for 15-inch MacBook Pro at the apple store I am using my MBP as my main machine and have it sit on a Griffin Elevator stand next to my 24" monitor most of the time. Works great. I just wish that Apple had a docking solution. I kind of suspect they might come out with one eventually as they seem to be taking aim at the enterprise market now. As it is I have 6 cables to unplug when I want to take the laptop with me. For a dock try bookends. They are great, expensive but great. You plug all your cables into it and then there is a lever that slides the dock parts in and out. It make getting on the go from an office setup real quick. I'm glad you got the Touch like I recommended, it's a pretty sweet piece of technology. It will be even more so when the software update comes out for it in July. Also, have you investigated Mobile Me at all? If not, go check it out. It starts in July, but all the info is up on apple.com. It's going to be a great way to sync all your devices. Also, have you gotten the Macally case yet? Like it or not? -Female Anon Mac Fan (This is probably obvious. If so, please ignore, thanks!) If your monitor has a DVI (or HDMI) port, use that instead of the DVI-to-VGA adaptor. You avoid 2 analog-digital conversions, and there are no analog-induced geometry concerns. I'm glad everything worked out with the macbook pro. my girlfriend has one and hates the fact that it is so much bigger than my macbook and how much hotter her comp gets. i'm curious as to how you feel about how the mbp stacks up against the macbook performance-wise. My girlfriend has a mbp with the same specs as my macbook, and my computer runs better and faster. @FAMF: Thanks again for that tip - I really do like the iPod Touch, it's a nice little change up to lugging the MBP everywhere in the house.. @Col. Austin: Well, from a performance standpoint I haven't seen that much of a difference to be honest. I expected the dedicated graphics card to make a bigger impact but I haven't hit the applications that make use of it yet. It's a 2.4GHz vs a 2.2GHz so there is a very slight performance difference.. Actually, the plastic cases like a Speck or Macally case look quite nice on a white Macbook. The Apple shows thru very well. My 80-year old mom has a red Speck case on her white Macbook, and people always comment on it when she's at Panera or Starbucks. Hi David, I have been following your blog for a while as my Macbook Pro is coming next week and going to be my first Mac after spending 10 years on PCs.. @AJ: The MBP only supports a single monitor external monitor directly. It does however support resolutions on the external monitor of up to 2560x1600. I don't know if there is a splitting technology that you can use that would allow you to add another display to that mix. If you really need two external monitors on a MBP you may be able to pull it off with one of EVGA's USB based solutions, though I don't know if they are Mac compatible or what the actual performance would be like. Good luck! Thanks David, I will research more into it, I have read about these but I think they support it as 1 big monitor unlike Windows where you can split the display.? @AJ: When you hook up an external display to a MBP (or MacBook for that matter) the external display can either be a clone of your primary display or an extension (split) that effectively increases your screen real estate..

Tyler Perry Criticized for HIV Message in Temptation According to www.BET.com, mainstream critics have always been fairly harsh on Tyler Perry‘s films, but none have been attacked quite as venomously as Tyler Perry’s Temptation. The morality tale, about a good Christian woman (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) who strays from her simple-minded husband to be with a “devil”-like Lothario and contracts HIV as a tragic result, is receiving the usual negative attention for its directing, acting and dialogue, but some critics and bloggers are going so far as calling Perry “reprehensible” for implying that the disease is a necessary consequence of infidelity. “Perry has done a lot for the visibility of Black voices in popular culture,” admits Jezebel, but it is “amazed at how efficiently Perry was able to roll back discourse, human rights, the basics of consent, and storytelling itself in just one sh—y movie.” The site adds, “the world should demand better than Tyler Perry.” The Grio calls the film “entirely too insulting,” adding that Perry “vilifies and punishes women with any speck of ambition, education or sexual desire.” “In Tyler Perry’s world, people living with HIV are doomed to live a life of lovelessness and solitude,” the review continues. Buzzfeed rants, “whether or not one condones cheating on a spouse, the implication that a person deserves HIV is horrifying,” while Mike Ryan of The Huffington Post writes, “either Perry believes that if you cheat on your partner, you deserve a terrible disease or he believes that the people he hopes will pay money to seeTyler Perry’s Temptation believe that if you cheat on your spouse, you deserve a terrible disease.” He concludes, “I can’t decide which is worse.” The controversy over Temptation doesn’t seem to have hurt its box office, but Perry did succeed in getting people to talk about something other than Kim Kardashian‘s performance. I think the film is amazing! Check it out for your self in theaters now!

"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones." John Cage The BBC Proms, founded in 1895, is the world's biggest classical music festival and takes place every summer at London's Royal Albert Hall.

States across the country have continued to choose different dates for resumption of primary and secondary schools More states have shunned the September 22nd date selected by the Ministry of Education for the resumption of public and private primary and secondary schools in the country. Student Pulse gathered that only a few states like Lagos, Kwara and Ondo have stayed with the fixed date while many other states have chosen different dates. On Friday, the Osun State government announced Monday, 6th of October, 2014 as the official date for schools to resume in the state. According to a statement issued on Friday by the state commissioner for education, Mrs. Grace Laoye Tomori, the date was selected for the 2014/2015 academic session for public and private primary and secondary after careful consideration of opinions from stakeholders. She however urged school proprietors and administrators to ensure a culture of hygiene in their schools. In a similar development, the Secretary to the Ogun state government, Taiwo Adeoluwa, announced announced October 8 as the new resumption date for private and public schools in the state at a Friday press conference. Adeoluwa said the decision came after concerns that many schools were not prepared for the Ebola Virus threat. "Left to the government, we want to return the students to school on Sept. 22," Adeoluwa said. “But the operators raised the issue of gadgets and when we went round, we discovered that the facilities in some schools need to be improved. Student Pulse report yesterday Zamfara schools will now reopen on the 13th of October while Niger state chose October 9th. All this is coming even after President Goodluck Jonathan said "Ebola is no longer a threat in Nigeria," hence the need to reopen schools.

The announcement that Jeremy Hunt would be the other finalist in the Tory leadership contest was greeted with a cheer from Boris Johnson’s campaign team and sighs of disappointment among political journalists. Many of my colleagues were salivating over the prospect of a final battle involving Michael Gove. A Gove-Johnson face-off had rich potential to turn into a spectacularly vicious bout of all-in mud wrestling between the two Brexiters. A Hunt-Johnson contest appears, at least at first sight, to offer a much less compelling spectacle, leading to a much more predictable ending. “God knows how we got that many,” remarked a member of the Hunt campaign team when their candidate just squeaked into second place in the ultimate ballot of MPs. We don’t have to go to God for the answer to that one. As I predicted they would in this space last week, the Johnson team moved around some of their votes to get Mr Hunt into the final because he is their preferred opponent. On the face of it, his chances of winning look as slight as Afghanistan’s hopes of lifting the Cricket World Cup. His rival has the support of more than twice as many MPs. Mr Johnson is overwhelmingly more popular with the Tory membership, an audience that is predominantly white, male, southerly, affluent, very Brexity and much keener on the former foreign secretary who campaigned to leave the EU than the current holder of the office who did the opposite. What can Mr Hunt do about this? If his main interest is self-preservation, the cowardly option is to bow to what may seem like the inevitable and not endeavour to make it a proper contest. We will know he is taking this course if he goes easy on his rival, pulling his punches in the hope that not jabbing at the other man’s many vulnerable flanks will be rewarded with a plum post in the Johnson cabinet. We must hope that Mr Hunt possesses more self-respect than this; that he wants to do more than spend the next four weeks tramping around the country being the train-bearer to King Bozza as he swaggers towards a coronation. This contest is an opportunity to kick the tyres, inspect the engine and check the brakes of the men who want to be Britain’s next prime minister. It is a deeply unsatisfactory process, from which the vast majority of the country are disenfranchised, but it is the only process there is. To make it a meaningful test, Mr Hunt must prove that he is tougher than he looks and make good on his promise to give the other man “the fight of his life”. He won’t prosper by trying to imitate his rival. He will never tell better jokes. He will never make more fantastical promises. He will never match the other man’s gift with the flamboyant phrase and the outrageous untruth. He did himself no favours last year when he made a Johnsonian kind of remark about the EU resembling the Soviet Union. There’s no mileage for Mr Hunt in trying to be more Johnson than Johnson. One of Mr Hunt’s tasks is to sit the Tory party down, tell it to breathe deeply and invite it to have a proper think The former mayor of London will sell himself as the man who can make Tories feel good about themselves. Mr Hunt can’t contest at that level so he should campaign as the candidate who invites Tories to think soberly about themselves, their country and the qualities that ought to be required of a prime minister. He is entitled to make character an issue. Not as in personality, but as in moral character. The Tories have a history as a party of falling for scoundrels who present as “lovable rogues”. This has always been an integral element of Boris Johnson’s popularity with the Tory grassroots. But do they really want to hand Number 10 to someone quite this roguish? And is he actually all that lovable? The spotlight has been swivelled on to his torrid personal life by the episode in the early hours of Friday morning at his girlfriend’s home. Neighbours who called the police heard banging, slamming, shouting, screaming, swearing, stuff getting smashed and Carrie Symonds complaining that a sofa had been ruined with red wine: “You just don’t care for anything because you’re spoilt. You have no care for money or anything.” That’s an unattractive character reference from someone who goes to bed with him. It fits with a theme of his life: that the least flattering descriptions come from those who know him best. Sir Max Hastings, who employed him at the Daily Telegraph, describes him as “a gold medal egomaniac. I would not trust him with my wife nor – from painful experience – my wallet... He is also a far more ruthless, and frankly nastier, figure than the public appreciates.” Politicians can change their hairstyles, waistlines, tax policies, views on transport projects and sexual partners, but they can’t change their essential character. Mr Hunt will be wary of getting very personal, but he doesn’t have to get into his rival’s rackety private life to make the case that a Johnson premiership would be a hair-raising gamble with both the future of the Tory party and the future of Britain. Of course, Tory members probably know this already and perhaps they do not care. An eye-popping poll suggests that a majority of them will sacrifice almost anything in order to get Brexit, including the United Kingdom itself. They’d see Scotland and Northern Ireland ripped out of the UK rather than give up on Brexit. A large majority would quit the EU even if it inflicted “significant damage” on the economy and “destroyed” their party. This is the view of people who call themselves members of the Conservative and Unionist party. So one of Mr Hunt’s tasks is to sit the Tory party down, tell it to breathe deeply and invite it to have a proper think. Are they really prepared to contemplate the ruination of so many things they once cherished in pursuit of an ultra’s version of Brexit? Is a party that once prided itself on being sensible really prepared to take a wild gamble on a Johnson premiership? One duty that falls on Mr Hunt is to use the next month to direct fierce scrutiny at his rival’s often shifting and contradictory propositions about Brexit. Boris Johnson promises that he can negotiate a better deal and, if he can’t, Britain will be out “come what may” on 31 October. How exactly is he going to do a deal by Halloween with an EU that says it won’t reopen the withdrawal agreement? If he is in possession of a magical solution to the Irish border conundrum, why didn’t he reveal this masterplan to his colleagues during the two years when he sat in the cabinet as foreign secretary? How is he going to take Britain out of the EU without a deal when there is no mandate from the people for a crash-out Brexit and no majority for that outcome in parliament? He now echoes Nigel Farage in suggesting that Britain has a pain-free option called “leaving on WTO (World Trade Organisation) terms”. If that is a credible plan of action, why was it not aired by him or his fellow Brexiters during the 2016 referendum? Could it be because it is just another fantasy that doesn’t withstand a moment of examination by anyone who understands how trade agreements work? These are questions that need asking and pressing, asking again and pressing again, until Mr Johnson runs out of unicorns to ride and places to hide. Mr Hunt should take a leaf out of Rory Stewart’s campaign book and make himself the honest candidate who asks the hard questions. He will have to be the one prepared to tell his party some truths about Brexit and get it to face the realities of its position. This can get him in range of his opponent’s greatest vulnerability. Boris Johnson’s supposed talent as a campaigner is his big attraction to Tories. It comes attached to the big risk to them that he could tumble the country over the cliff and his party into an annihilating election. In that poll of Tory activists, there was one idea that they loathed more than giving up on Brexit. That was a Jeremy Corbyn government. The odds are stacked against Mr Hunt. But even if he is defeated, he can fail honourably by making this a contest, not a coronation. He will be doing a vital service to both his party and the country if he interrogates the character, punctures the fantasies, nails the evasions and unravels the deceptions of his opponent. He should strive to compel a little more honesty from the other man. If Jeremy Hunt can do that, he might even make Boris Johnson a bit fitter to become prime minister. • Andrew Rawnsley is Chief Political Commentator of the Observer

Whenever I hear political promises, I tend to think about the side effects that will be caused. Charlie Munger, long-time business partner of Warren Buffett, illustrated the concept of second-order effects nicely in a speech at UCSB (pdf): "A truck trailer business had a plant in Texas whose workman’s comp costs were 30% of payroll. This means that for every ten people working at the plant, the equivalent of three more were at home getting paid because they were supposedly unable to work. Workman’s comp is important for legitimate health problems, but 30% is ridiculous. When legislators created the workman’s comp rules, did they project costs based on existing sick-day rates, or did they anticipate the secondary effects of soaring numbers of workers taking advantage of an easily-gamed workman’s comp system?" Credit Card Interest Rate Promise The NDP promises to limit interest rates on credit cards to 5% over prime. With this policy, many people who currently have credit cards would no longer qualify for them or would only qualify for a drastically reduced spending limit. An interest rate 5% over prime roughly compensates the bank for a 5% chance that you won’t pay back the money you borrow. If the bank judges your odds of default to be above 5%, then you won’t get a credit card. This may actually be a good thing; I’m no fan of the aggressive tactics used by banks to ensnare the unwary into debt. But, I wonder how many people with below-average credit scores agree with this policy not realizing that they would lose their own credit cards. Promise to Forgive Doctors’ Student Loans The NDP promises to forgive doctors’ student loans if they devote the first ten years of their practices to family medicine. I don’t have a strong opinion on whether this is a good idea or not, but I do have a strong opinion about assessing its cost. The wrong way to assess cost would be to use the average student loan size among currently graduating doctors. Many doctors in training who would otherwise have paid their way without taking student loans would seek student loans under such a policy. People prefer free money to a loan. Without any change in the rules governing qualifying for loans, the average student loan size would increase. Part of the reason why each party’s estimates of the costs of their promises tends to be too low is that they ignore secondary effects. Hi Michael, Thanks for the link. Excellent post. I know someone currently in medical school who has described how many students have large loans that banks are only too keen to provide. I could easily see much larger loans amongst those doctors-to-be. Of course, then the government would want to clamp down on abuse, start making all sorts of special rules, limitations and exemptions and presto, a whole bureaucracy would arise - one wonders if that cost is included in estimates too. And accountants would get more work too, figuring out how to extract the maximum. The part about the workers' comp reminds me a gy I met on the golf course recently - early fifties. When I asked whether he was retired he said no, he'd had to quit work for health reasons ... 17 years ago. He's a low handicap golfer as he golfs every day!! Cool, huh? Hi CanadianInvestor: I've been semi-retired myself for about 7 years partly for health reasons. Not that my health was bad, but I wanted it to stay good. I've had the time and energy to work out, take care of minor injuries properly, and play sports. Of course, I've had to fund this myself rather than collect workman's comp.

Pages Tuesday, September 30, 2014 Kiss Kill VanishBy: Jessica MartinezReleased: October 7, 2014Source: EdelweissPurchase the Book: Amazon*A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review "Valentina Cruz no longer exists. One moment, she was wrapped in Emilio’s arms, melting into his kiss. The next, she was witnessing the unthinkable: a murder in cold blood, ordered by her father and carried out by her boyfriend. When Emilio pulled the trigger, Valentina disappeared. She made a split-second decision to shed her identity and flee her life of privilege, leaving the glittering parties and sultry nightlife of Miami far behind. She doesn’t know how to explain to herself what she saw. All she knows now is that nothing she believed about her family, her heart, or Emilio’s love, was real. She can change her name and deny her past, but Valentina can’t run from the truth. The lines between right and wrong, and trust and betrayal, will be blurred beyond recognition as she untangles the deceptions of the two men she once loved and races to find her own truth." (Summary from goodreads.com) I liked Kiss Kill Vanish. As soon as I started reading, I couldn't put it down for long because I was really interested to see where it would go next. However, I definitely think that this was a book where my expectations were too high. Valentina runs away from home when she learns the truth about her father's business and discovers that her boyfriend is involved in it as well. Valentina was a character that I liked, but at the same time I found her to be unlikable too. She is stubborn and so determined that her way is the only right way. She is also really naïve in certain ways. This all inevitably leads her to making some poor decisions. However, the motivation for why she is that way is clearly there. Valentina grew up in a bubble where she got everything she wanted. I also thought that the side characters were fairly interesting too. I really liked Marcel and Lucien. The plot kept me interested, but it wasn't all that believable at times. I think the pacing was too fast in some areas and too slow in other moments. I would have loved to see some of the more bigger plot lines developed more thoroughly. For instance I wanted more about Valentina's family life and her father. I felt like the reader never got the chance to get to know them all too well. There were quite a few inconsistencies with the plot too. I did like the few twists though and the end revelations definitely took me by surprise. Overall I liked Kiss Kill Vanish. It was an interesting story with some great twists. Thursday, September 25, 2014 I'll Give You the SunBy: Jandy NelsonReleased: September 16, 2014Source: ARC from BEAPurchase the Book: Amazon*A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review "Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and dramatic ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as someone else—an even more unpredictable new force in her life. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world." (Summary from goodreads.com) I'll Give You the Sun is one of the best books I've read this year. From the moment I picked up this book, I couldn't put it down. I'll Give You the Sun is the story of twins Jude and Noah. These twins are so different from each other, but have a unique bond. At thirteen they are so close and have this special connection. Noah is quiet and spends most of his time drawing. While Jude is spending her time surfing and hanging out with the boys. However three years later, so much has changed and the twins are barely speaking to each other anymore. It's almost like their personalities have switched. Noah is no longer drawing, but instead has become the partier. While Jude has become more withdrawn. Noah and Jude were both such interesting, realistic, and strongly developed characters. I loved getting to hear both sides of their story. Not only did the reader get to see them grow individually, but you also get to see how their relationship grew. There were also some really fascinating side characters that I enjoyed getting to know too. One of my favorite aspects of this book was hands down the writing style though. Not only was Nelson's writing beautiful, but I love how intricately she told both of these twins separate stories. The book alternated between the twins and two different times of their lives flawlessly. I loved how everything just all came together. Overall I loved I'll Give You the Sun. This is a story that will certainly stay with me for a long time. I definitely recommend picking up a copy this book!

Mike Welles had everything under control. But that was before. Now things are rough at home, and they're getting confusing at school. He's losing his sense of direction, and he feels like he's a mess. Then there's a voice in his head. A friend, who's trying to help him get control again. More than that—the voice can guide him to become faster and stronger than he was before, to rid his life of everything that's holding him back. To figure out who he is again. If only Mike will listen." ------A Trick of the Light is such a great book and does a wonderful job at handling the topic of eating disorders. I definitely recommend picking up a copy. The paperback will be published on September 23 and will include a brand new section titled "10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Eating Disorders". Lois Metzger was kind enough to stop by The Reading Geek and share a bit about this new section. "I spent nearly a decade researching eating disorders for my young-adult novel, “A Trick of the Light” (HarperCollins), about a boy who develops anorexia. The book was published in hardcover in 2013. Over the past year, lots of people got in touch with me with their own stories—some were professionals who gave me new information, things I hadn’t heard about or hadn’t focused on. Because of this, I added a new section for the paperback, called “10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Eating Disorders.” The list includes a family-based therapy that has proved very successful; and why wrestlers are especially prone to eating disorders; and evidence of a biological propensity to eating disorders. Also I put in a number to call if you’re looking to help someone with an eating disorder (the National Eating Disorder Association hotline—1-800-931-2237). What have I learned about eating disorders? That there’s always so much more to know."

Then, after school, she put them into practice by running her Mercedes off the road. Why? Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? Why did she give up? Vividly told by an unexpected and surprising narrator, this heartbreaking and nonlinear novel pieces together the short and devastating life of Meridian High’s most popular junior girl. Mass, acceleration, momentum, force—Liz didn’t understand it in physics, and even as her Mercedes hurtles toward the tree, she doesn’t understand it now. How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To love someone? To be a daughter? Or a mother? Is life truly more than cause and effect? Amy Zhang’s haunting and universal story will appeal to fans of Lauren Oliver, Gayle Forman, and Jay Asher" (Summary from goodreads.com) Wow Falling into Place was such an incredible story. I have been looking forward to this book for months and it was absolutely everything and more than I expected. The writing was beautiful. Falling into Place is the story of Liz Emerson who plans to kill herself by crashing her car and making it look like an accident. Liz isn't exactly a good person. She could be awful to her fellow classmates and even to her own best friends. However, I still liked Liz in a way. The side characters were also great and I enjoyed getting to know Kennie, Julia, and Liam. Falling into Place is told by the perspective of a narrator that I was never expecting. It is also told in all these bits and pieces that just all comes together perfectly. We jump from one character to another and we also jump between the past and the present. Zhang's writing is simply stunning and I wrote down countless quotes. I will definitely be anticipating her next book. Overall I loved Falling into Place. It's a beautiful story about life and growing up. I'm trying not to say much in my review because I think that this is a book where the less you know before starting it, the better. So with that being said, I strongly recommend picking it up. It's a story that you won't be likely to forget for a long time.

(Summary from goodreads.com) Chapter 1 - Wellsby Kass MorganAuthor of The 100 and its sequel Day 21 No one wanted to stand near the grave. Although four of their own were already buried in the makeshift cemetery, the rest of the hundred were still disturbed by the idea of lowering a body into the ground. No one wanted to stand with their backs to the trees either. Since the attack, a creaking branch had become enough to make the anxious survivors jump. And so, the nearly one hundred people who'd gathered to say good-bye to Asher stood in a tightly packed semicircle, their eyes darting between the corpse on the ground and the shadows in the forest. The comforting crackle of the fire was conspicuously absent. They'd run out of firewood last night, and no one had been willing to venture out for more. Wells would've gone himself, but he'd been busy digging the grave. No one had volunteered for that job either, except for a tall, quiet Arcadian boy named Eric."Are we sure he's really dead?" Molly whispered, edging back from the deep hole, as if worried it might swallow her up as well. She was only thirteen but looked younger. At least, she'd used to. Wells remembered helping her after the crash, when tears and ash had streaked her round cheeks. Now the girl's face was thin, almost gaunt, and there was a cut on her forehead that didn't look like it'd been properly cleaned. Wells's eyes flashed involuntarily to Asher's neck, to the ragged wound where the arrow had pierced his throat. It'd been two days since Asher died, two days since the mysterious figures materialized on the ridge, upending everything the Colonists had ever been told, everything they thought they knew.They had been sent to Earth as living test subjects, the first people to set foot on the planet in three hundred years. But they were mistaken. Some people had never left. It had all happened so quickly. Wells hadn't realized anything was wrong until Asher fell to the ground, gagging as he swiped desperately at the arrow lodged in his throat. That's when Wells spun around -- and saw them. Silhouetted against the setting sun, the strangers looked more like demons than humans. Wells had blinked, half expecting the figures to vanish. There was no way they were real. But hallucinations didn't shoot arrows. After his calls for help went unheeded, Wells had carried Asher to the infirmary tent, where they stored the medical supplies they'd salvaged from the fire. But it was no use. By the time Wells began frantically digging for bandages, Asher was already gone. How could there be people on Earth? It was impossible. No one had survived the Cataclysm. That was incontrovertible, as deeply ingrained in Wells's mind as the fact that water froze at 0 degrees Celsius, or that planets revolved around the sun. And yet, he'd seen them with his own eyes. People who certainly hadn't come down on the dropship from the Colony. Earthborns. "He's dead," Wells said to Molly as he rose wearily to his feet before realizing that most of the group was staring at him. A few weeks ago, their expressions would've been full of distrust, if not outright contempt. No one believed that the Chancellor's son had actually been Confined. It'd been all too easy for Graham to convince them that Wells had been sent to spy for his father. But now, they were looking at him expectantly. In the chaos after the fire, Wells had organized teams to sort through the remaining supplies and start building permanent structures. His interest in Earth architecture, once a source of annoyance to his pragmatic father, had enabled Wells to design the three wooden cabins that now stood in the center of the clearing. Wells glanced up at the darkening sky. He'd give anything to have the Chancellor see the cabins eventually. Not to prove a point -- after seeing his father shot on the launch deck, Wells's resentment had drained faster than the color from the Chancellor's cheeks. Now he only wished his father would someday get to call Earth home. The rest of the Colony was supposed to join them once conditions on Earth were deemed safe, but twenty-one days had passed without so much as a glimmer from the sky. As Wells lowered his eyes back to the ground, his thoughts returned to the task at hand: saying farewell to the boy they were about to send to a much darker resting place. A girl next to him shivered. "Can we move this along?" she said. "I don't want to stand out here all night." "Watch your tone," another girl named Kendall snapped, her delicate lips drawn into a frown. At first, Wells had assumed she was a fellow Phoenician, but he'd eventually realized that her haughty stare and clipped cadence were just an impression of the girls Wells had grown up with. It was a fairly common practice among young Waldenites and Arcadians, although he'd never met anyone who did it quite as well as Kendall. Wells turned his head from side to side, searching for Graham, the only other Phoenician aside from Wells and Clarke. He didn't generally like letting Graham take control of the group, but the other boy had been friends with Asher and was better equipped than Wells to speak at his funeral. However, his was one of the few faces missing from the crowd -- aside from Clarke's. She'd set off right after the fire with Bellamy to search for his sister, leaving nothing but the memory of the five toxic words she'd hurled at Wells before she left: You destroy everything you touch.

Friday, September 12, 2014 Day 21 (The Hundred #2)By: Kass MorganReleased: September 16, 2014Source: PublicistPurchase the Book: Barnes and Noble*A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review"No one has set foot on Earth in centuries -- until now.It's been 21 days since the hundred landed on Earth. They're the only humans to set foot on the planet in centuries...or so they thought. Facing an unknown enemy, Wells attempts to keep the group together. Clarke strikes out for Mount Weather, in search of other Colonists, while Bellamy is determined to rescue his sister, no matter the cost. And back on the ship, Glass faces an unthinkable choice between the love of her life and life itself. In this pulse-pounding sequel to Kass Morgan's The 100, secrets are revealed, beliefs are challenged, and relationships are tested. And the hundred will struggle to survive the only way they can -- together." (Summary from goodreads.com)I really enjoyed Day 21 a lot. I've been looking forward to this sequel all year because I really liked the first book and I couldn't wait to read what would happen next. (I'm also a big fan of the tv show). I thought that the first book in the series really focused on setting up the world and establishing the characters while this sequel was filled with twists and action. Day 21 is told in the perspectives of Clarke, Wells, Bellamy, and Glass. Clarke, Wells, and Bellamy were all part of the first 100 sent to test if earth is habitable. 21 days now have passed and they have discovered that they aren't the only humans on earth. Bellamy is also doing everything that he can to find his sister, Octavia. Meanwhile back on the ship, Glass is facing a difficult choice. Once again I loved that the reader gets to see what is going on down on earth with the 100, but also what is happening in space on the ship too. I thought that Clarke, Wells, Bellamy, and Glass were each developed more strongly in this book as well. I really enjoyed the different flashbacks that each character had in their chapters. It definitely helped me understand the characters and their actions better. I also loved that even the flashbacks provided some shocking twists and brought up the connections that these characters already shared in the past. I found it was hard to put this book down for long once I started reading. There were so many twists that I definitely never saw coming. I just loved that this book absolutely kept me on the edge of my seat. Then I especially love the world that Morgan has built. The world-building and setting were my favorite parts of the first book and I was thrilled to see that Morgan continued to expand on it in Day 21. Overall I loved Day 21. It is rare that I love the sequel more than the first book, but this was definitely one of those cases. I strongly recommend picking up this series. It's a story that will keep you guessing. I already can't wait to read the next book! Wednesday, September 10, 2014 Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases. My Heart and Other Black HolesBy: Jasmine WargaRelease Date: February 10, 2015"Sixteen-year-old physics nerd Aysel is obsessed with plotting her own death. With a mother who seems scared of her, classmates who whisper behind her back, and a father whose violent crime rocked her small town, Aysel’s ready to turn her potential energy into nothingness. There’s only one problem: she’s not sure she has the courage to do it alone. But once she discovers the website Smooth Passages and its section called Suicide Partners, Aysel’s convinced she’s found her solution. Better yet, a boy with the username FrozenRobot (aka Roman), who’s haunted by a family tragedy, is looking for a partner. But as their suicide pact starts to become more concrete, Aysel begins to question whether she really wants to go through with it. Ultimately, Aysel must choose between wanting to die or trying to convince Roman to live so they can discover the potential of their energy together. Except that Roman may not be so easy to convince. This is a gorgeously written and compulsively readable debut novel about the transformative power of love and acceptance" ( Summary from goodreads.com) Wednesday, September 3, 2014 Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases. The Last Time We Say GoodbyeBy: Cynthia HandRelease Date: February 10, 2015"There's death all around us. We just don't pay attention. Until we do. The last time Lex was happy, it was before. When she had a family that was whole. A boyfriend she loved. Friends who didn't look at her like she might break down at any moment. Now she's just the girl whose brother killed himself. And it feels like that's all she'll ever be. As Lex starts to put her life back together, she tries to block out what happened the night Tyler died. But there's a secret she hasn't told anyone-a text Tyler sent, that could have changed everything. Lex's brother is gone. But Lex is about to discover that a ghost doesn't have to be real to keep you from moving on. From New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Hand, The Last Time We Say Goodbye is a gorgeous and heart-wrenching story of love, loss, and letting go" (Summary from goodreads.com) Disclaimer All reviews published on this blog are based on books that I have either purchased myself or received from an author or publisher in exchange for an honest review.

: “You’ll also come across the Enclave; the remains of the US government who have access to incredible technology and broadcast patriotic marching band music. Their President is voiced by Malcolm “A Clockwork Orange” McDowell. He’s a major villain.” In other UK print coverage, the July issue of Instock Magazine has a new preview of Fallout 3 covering their meet up with Pete in London. Also, if you haven’t checked out the May issue of Total PC Gaming, you might want to try to get your hands on a copy of it. Here’s a sample of their interview with Todd: TPCG: Can you tell us what the injuries shown in the Pip-Boy Status screenshot will have on your character? Todd Howard: Having one or both of your legs crippled slows you down, and having your head crippled gives you blurry vision, but the blur is not constant, it’s like having a concussion that comes and goes. Lou Kesten of the Associated Press recently came by the office to take a look at Fallout 3. His preview of the game has popped up in a few places — including Fox News and Yahoo. Elsewhere in mainstream news coverage, the Houston Chronicle lists Fallout 3 as one of the games to play this fall. That’s it for now — we’ll keep you posted when we find out about new coverage. Niiiiicccce does it say if fallout 3 will have trophies or custom soundtracks on ps3 W8 … Malcolm McDowell? 😀 The president is a major villain… again? I think you are talking of Total PC Gaming issue 7 and not Total PC Games, Gstaff, can you check on that? Bethesda, you guys working on PS3 trophies??? The 2.40 firmware update will come back soon, be creative… their probably not even reading this. I dont think they are i left lite 5 comments about trophies and they didnt answer any of them ya they dont read this shit. I just found out something this fatal ineria races shit demo on PSN has achievements of its own independent of update 2.40 and its pretty good of a game 2 Maybe they don’t respond to you because you insist on spamming your silly questions on pretty much every single blog entry, even when they have nothing to do with what you’re asking. ye well it has something to do with this so shut it No, it’s spam. You’ll find plenty of dev responses to relevant comments. Its relevent its about fallout 3 isnt it and if you dont like it dont read it Paul, We don’t have any news/announcements to share about trophies/custom soundtracks at this time. THANK YOU now ill shut up We really, really need trophies for PS3 🙂 Could you guys pleasssseeee put custom soundtracks in oblivion, if not trophies? yes please Trophies for PS3……………..:] Awesome Okay people who want information on trophies/custom soundtracks lets keep quiet until after E3 i would love custom soundtrack for fallout but if its to much trouble you shouldn’t push to hard its going to be a great game either way Didn’t we already kill the president in Fallout 2?

The present invention relates to light modulators and more specifically to light moudlators employing surface waves as their source of modulation. Acoustic bandwidth modulation of light has been achieved using two basically different techniques, volume diffraction of a light beam by bulk acoustic waves (Bragg diffraction), and surface reflection or diffraction. Volume diffraction techniques employ a medium whose refractive index can be varied in accordance with the modulating signal. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,938,881, a transducer generates an acoustic strain wave which alters the refractive index of an acousto-optic medium. Light incident upon the medium near the Bragg angle is modulated according to the strain wave. However, bulk acoustic wave Bragg diffraction modulators designed to be operated at high power efficiency do not develop sufficient spatial modulation bandwidth. Surface modulation of light occurs when light is modulated as it is reflected from a surface to which the modulating signal has been transmitted. Various techniques have been used to transmit this signal to the reflective surface. In one such method, the surface is excited by the direct acoustic pressure of an incident sound wave. A second method employs solid surface modulations produced by piezoelectrically excited Rayleigh waves. Both of these techniques require impractically large acoustic power levels to achieve significant bandwidth at high diffraction efficiency. In another surface modulation technique, a free liquid surface is excited by radiation pressure. This is a quasi-static effect associated with continous, finite amplitude sound waves. However, free surface modulation produces only narrow temporal modulation bandwidth and the devices employing it cannot be fabricated to be rugged. All of these reflective surface devices, when designed to operate over wide spatial bandwidths at temporal bandwidths below one megahertz are too large to be practical. Recent attempts to improve surface reflection light modulators have been directed toward improving modulators that use a mirrored membrane as their reflective surface. These devices use an electric signal carrying modulation information to electro-statically deflect the membrane. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,796,480 improvement of the localized deflection of the membrane is disclosed. This modulation and others like it do not modulate with surface waves.

A very simple, traditional and I would say - classic example task we'll be tackling today - displaying nodes (entities), created by a user on his profile page. First, make sure you have Views and Views UI modules enabled. Views are in core now, so no extra work is needed here. Structure >> Views >> Add view Under the View settings section select the entity type we'll be filtering by, and on the same page tell Views to create a Block display for us. On the next screen (the Block display edit page) go to the Advanced >> Relationships section and hit the "Add" button to create a new relationship. In the list which appears right after, filter items by a "User" category and select the Relationship: author. This relationship should be required, as we don't want items posted by other authors showing up on the user page. Next, scroll up to the Contextual filters section and click the "Add" button to create a new contextual filter. As before, filter items by a "User" category and select the "User ID" filter. On its configuration screen make sure the filter uses the relationship we've created before and configure the rest of settings like so: When the filter value is NOT available >> Provide default value: User ID from route context That's it for now.

Goddamn. When the Chop started up earlier this week, we wanted to make a blog to tell you what we’re actually doing. We really are running wild in the streets now, and life moves faster than the speed of blog. You won’t read any posts here about how the Chop sat on the couch all day and watched football and played with his cat and did the dishes. That’s not how we roll. We’ve got the opposite problem, at least this week. We’re having a hard time picking events, and don’t know whether to drop them all on you in one post, or separate posts. First things first though. And by first, we mean tonight. Tonight the Chop will be showing up early to catch happy hour and secure a good seat at the Windup Space for a free screening of What Would Jesus Buy? , presented by the Action! Film Series. The screening comes just in time for the kickoff of Christmas Shopping season too. With each passing year though, the Chop favors Christmas shopping less and less. The truth is that the Chop’s family members are all quite content, and at this point in life anything we could give or receive from close friends and family is little more than a token. There’s also the fact that last year we celebrated Christmas in Freetown, Sierra Leone, drinking fifty cent beers, listening to steel drums at a street festival on a balmy night. Nothing like an African Xmas for a little perspective. There’s also some business about a discussion afterward with representatives from local businesses, but we’re thinking we might just slide out early on that. After all, we’re taking the Part Time Professor as our date, and she’ll likely be impressed by the new furniture at the house, since she did sit on lawn chairs in the living room last time she was here. I’m impressed by that furniture too. Its a wonder I even go out at all anymore… especially since I could stay at home and watch the whole movie for free online at snagfilms.com.

Tino rangatiratanga is a Maori language term that means "absolute sovereignty." Sovereignty means absolute power to rule something without someone else interfering. In this case, it refers to the ability of the Maori people (the indigenous people of New Zealand) to rule themselves and be recognized as the owners of the land. "Tino rangatiratanga" shows up in the Maori version of the Treaty of Waitangi, which they signed with the British in 1840. They were promised that they would have tino rangatiratanga forever in the treaty. However, this concept was not respected since the British colonizers took a lot of things from the Maori people. To this day, people in New Zealand do not agree on what "tino rangatiratanga" means or what kind of things it is supposed to cover. Origin A rangatira is a chief in the Maori culture. The suffix -tanga is added so rangatiratanga refers to the qualities of being a chief. "Tino" is a Maori word that means "most" or "absolute." So by using this term, the British were allowing Maori chiefs to have complete control and allow them to use their powers as chiefs. Some people think that the term can be used to describe self-determination, autonomy, or Maori independence. Here are the meaning of the terms from an online Maori dictionary: Tino: absolute ... used before a noun to indicate something is unrivaled or is true or genuine. Rangatiratanga: kingdom, realm, sovereignty, principality, self-determination, self-management. Treaty There is a lot of confusion about the Treaty of Waitangi because Articles 1 and 2 in the treaty say different things. According to the Maori version of the treaty, Article 1 is talking about kawanatanga (governorship) while Article 2 is talking about tino rangatiratanga (absolute chieftainship). To them, these are two totally different concepts. Therefore, they believe that they never gave away their land rights and ability to rule themselves. In fact, a tribunal that was created to focus on the Treaty of Waitangi said that the Maori can never give up those rights and never did. Flag There is a Tino rangatiratanga flag that is used to represent the Maori people. It is red, white, and black. It was designed by Maori artists Hiraina Marsden, Jan Smith and Linda Munn in 1990 as part of a contest. A woman named Poua Erstich came up with the meaning for the flag. The red represents the sky, the black is earth, and the white is light separating the sky and earth. The flag is supposed to show the Maori story of how the world was created. This flag is flown next to the flag of New Zealand to show people that the land still belongs to the Maori. Sometimes, this flag is used in protests to show how certain issues are affecting Maori.

We've been told to avoid static stretching at all costs before a workout or sporting activity. Researchers found that holding a stretch before a workout can significantly impair performance, likely because it can screw up the fiber structure and elastic properties in muscles that help produce power. Other studies have found no issues with static stretching. But most of the research has assessed the effects of stretching a muscle more than 60 seconds—likely longer than you would ever stretch a muscle. Yet most of us completely abandoned static stretching before workouts and sporting activities in favor of dynamic warm-ups. We went from one extreme to the other. In reality, the correct approach is probably somewhere in the middle. A new study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research supports this conclusion. RELATED: This Type of Stretching Will Screw Up Your Warm-Up Researchers in Greece assessed how static stretching affects 10- and 20-meter sprint speed and T-Test performance. Subjects performed lower-body stretching routines of 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 seconds targeting the major muscle groups prior to performing the three tests. Subjects were divided into moderate- and high-performance groups based on baseline scores in the tests. The researchers found that static stretching for each measured duration did not negatively impact speed. Surprisingly, the 15- and 20-second stretch routines actually improved sprint performance by over 4 percent, and agility speed by over 3 percent in the moderate-performance group. The high-performance group experienced no improvements. The researchers theorized that elite athletes' leg stiffness promotes maximum sprinting speed, and static stretching doesn't improve this quality. Also, there's a possibility that static stretching could reduce neuromuscular activity. So what does this tell us? Static stretching before a workout appears to have a minimal impact on performance as long as you don't hold the stretches for more than a minute, which you probably don't do anyway unless you're into certain forms of yoga. For people who are not highly trained, speed and agility performance might improve slightly after 15- to 20-second stretches. With that said, don't go totally old school and only do static stretches before a workout. A dynamic warm-up still plays an important role in warming up your body, activating your muscles and improving range of motion. But you don't have to fear static stretching like you once did. Instead, embrace static stretching by stretching the major muscles you will be using in your workout or sport for 15 to 20 seconds—anything under 60 seconds is fine—to make your warm-up better than ever.

The head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ appeals board is being transferred out of his position and moved to an acting director position at one of the agency’s regional service centers. Ron Rosenberg, who has headed the USCIS’s Administrative Appeals Office since 2013, was told Feb. 21 that he was being detailed to the Potomac Service Center at the behest of USCIS Director Francis Cissna. Barbara Velarde, the current head of the service center, will be assuming Rosenberg’s role at the AAO. Robert Cohen of Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur in Columbus, Ohio, said immigration attorneys are “disappointed” in the decision. “We have a great deal of respect for Ron’s work,” Cohen, chairman of the American Immigration Lawyers Association’s USCIS Benefits Liaison Committee, told Bloomberg Law Feb. 23. “He brought an air of professionalism and intellectual integrity to the AAO.” A representative for the USCIS wasn’t immediately available for comment. The decision to move Rosenberg follows closely on the heels of two AAO decisions that appeared to run counter to recent USCIS decision making. Last summer, USCIS adjudicators started questioning employers’ petitions for H-1B “specialty occupation” visas—which generally go to high-skilled workers—if the worker is being offered an entry-level salary. The USCIS also has indicated it has plans to redefine the term “specialty occupation” to “increase focus on obtaining the best and the brightest foreign nationals.” Some of that questioning led to denials of the petitions, which were then appealed to the AAO. “There is no inherent inconsistency between an entry-level position and a specialty occupation,” the AAO said in a Jan. 25 nonprecedential decision. “Most professionals start their careers in what are deemed entry-level positions. That doesn’t preclude us from identifying a specialty occupation,” the office said. “But wage is only one factor and does not by itself define or change the character of the occupation,” it said. Rosenberg’s tenure at the AAO was a “real success story,” Greg Siskind of Siskind Susser in Memphis, Tenn., said in a Feb. 22 Twitter post. “AAO has been vocal in questioning the wisdom of some of the most overreaching nonsense coming out of USCIS and now the anti-immigrants that have taken over the agency appear to be exacting their revenge,” said Siskind, who serves on AILA’s board of directors.)

MEXICO CITY – Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is an increasingly highly effective man. Rumors, Lies and Hot Mexicans Women With the victory of the Constitutionalist faction within the Revolution, a brand new structure was drafted in 1917. Following independence, some women in Zacatecas raised the query of citizenship for women. They petitioned for it, saying “women also want to have the title of citizen .. to see ourselves in the census as ‘La ciudadana’ .” Independence affected ladies in both positive and negatives ways. Prior to the independence, ladies were solely allowed to act as their kids’s guardians until the age of seven in cases of separation of widowhood.

Uncommon Report Gives You The Important Points on Hot Mexican Girl That Only A Few People Know Occur As Dara Orenstein brilliantly revealed, this determination hinged, partly, on mestizaje.

In addition to this line of reasoning, Judge Roger Traynor for virtually all ruled that the law violated the equal safety clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. At the time of the decision, Earl Warren was governor of California and, nineteen years later, he would preside as chief justice in Loving v. Virginia, the US Supreme Court case that struck down all remaining state anti-miscegenation laws.

From decades-long distillers to newly-launched ventures, listed here are seven tequila and mezcal brands you can support. Whereas Melchor’s work is surprising in its depiction of violence, Prayers for the Stolen adopts a extra sensorial approach. It’s a protective measure taken by her mother who’s determined to forestall Ana from being kidnapped, like so many other younger women in their town have been, by the drug cartels who patrol the encircling space. Prayers for the Stolen, the primary fiction function from Mexican-Salvadorian documentary-maker Huezo, captures the brutality and fear of growing up in such circumstances. On Tuesday, Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who campaigned on a promise to deal with the nation’s hovering crime rates but has struggled to achieve that aim since taking office in 2018, alluded to the Mother’s Day march.

--- address: - | Seminar for Statistics\ ETH Zentrum, HG G 10.3\ Rämistrasse 101\ 8092 Zurich\ Switzerland - | Department of Statistics\ The Wharton School\ University of Pennsylvania\ Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104\ USA author: - - title: Introduction to the Lehmann special section --- Erich L. Lehmann died at the age of 91 on September 12, 2009. The statistics community lost a great scientist who made fundamental contributions to many areas of statistics. The Council of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics has decided that this issue of The Annals of Statistics should be dedicated to the memory of Erich L. Lehmann. Erich L. Lehmann was a pioneer in establishing a mathematical framework and theory for the foundations of modern statistics. His books *Testing Statistical Hypotheses* (1959) and *Theory of Point Estimation* (1983) have helped to educate several generations of statisticians around the globe. Many avenues of research began with the seminal work of Erich; these have been further developed and brought to a broad range of fields in statistics, often by his many former Ph.D. students. The current Special Issue of *The Annals of Statistics* contains three invited articles. Javier Rojo discusses Erich’s scientific achievements and provides complete lists of his scientific writings and his former Ph.D. students. Willem van Zwet describes aspects of Erich’s life and work, enriched with personal and interesting anecdotes of Erich’s long and productive scientific journey. Finally, Peter Bickel, Aiyou Chen and Elizaveta Levina present a research paper on network models: they dedicate their contribution to Erich, emphasizing that their new nonparametric method and issues about optimality have been very much influenced by Erich’s thinking. Erich Lehmann was not only an outstanding scientist but also a very kind and generous person. Although he is not among us any more, his scientific legacy and wonderful memories will always remain.

- Um... we just had such a fun thing coming in the building. - (laughter) - Oh my God. - I saw Small Talk Dan. There's clearly a-- there's clearly-- - Yeah, dude, I h-- - A big mama downstairs. - She loves me. - Security guard who loves Dan. - She's the only one on the security staff that likes any of us. - (Christine) Yeah, she's cool. - She really likes Dan. - You know who I'm talking-- I always say hi to her. We always say-- I always say hi, and we always do a little bit of small talk. - She-- she blows hot and cold with me. - All right. - (Christine) She's always very nice to me. - And I can see that. - She can probably tell from my pant leg up on my sweatpants that I'm a straight up pimp and she probably don't play that shit. (Christine) If you tell her you're Isabella's dad, she'll like you more. - You actin' like you all brand new. - Yeah. - Oh, hang on, Black Lou. He can tell me what's up. - It's hot and cold with you because she remembers you-- she was the lady that was talking to us in the elevator when we got stuck. - Oh, really? - She was like "who's the one saying that we're R. Kelly?" - Oh, really? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Who the fuck told on me? - (Dan) I don't know, I didn't. - She just knew my voice. - Yeah, she heard those sweet pipes. - You think she just heard me be hilarious since and goes "that must've been him?" ♪♪ - Skankfest memories, everybody. But as Dan walked by her, they did the "hello, hello," and then for no reason at all, she just engaged some small talk. But like the shittiest kind. - "Hot enough out there for ya?" - She goes-- she goes-- yeah, she goes "how's this weather treatin' ya?" Or no, what was it? - "Hot enough out there for ya?" - She said "hot enough". - "Hot enough out there for ya?" That's what she said? "Hot enough out there for ya?" And then Dan does this spin around and goes "yeah, you know, it's the humidity, really. The humidity is what gets you." And then right o-- - Boom! Whoo! Step to me with small talk, get ready to get small talked back to. - He nailed it. - I'm Uncomfortable Dan. Yeah, I came in-- - Dan's an awkward starter. - Jay saw that and right when we got to the elevator I went yeah, I'm really good at small talk. That's the one-- it's like a super-- it's like a superhero power from being the son of a bartender. You just-- I just kn-- it's like my-- I told Justin it was like my handles like on an And One video. - Oh yeah. - The way I can small talk out of it. - I like you saying if it's your supe-- if you're a video game, your small talk bar is all the way up. - It's all the way full. - The awkward starter, man, we've said this for years now. - Yeah. ♪ I'm an awkward fire starter ♪ - ♪ I'm an awkward starter ♪ (overlapping singing) - But you're a good closer, you're a good close out and dip. - Yeah. - ♪ Dan's an awkward starter ♪ - ♪ And then I'll leave real quick ♪ - Yeah. ♪ Leaving instigator ♪ - One of my favorite Colin Quinn jokes... - (laughter) - Colin Quinn has that joke where he's like I got on the elevator with a neighbor, and they were like-- I tried to make small talk, I was like hey, how about this weather? And he goes, "I don't know, it's the weather, what do you expect?" Colin goes, "I don't know, maybe for you to engage "in some sorta small talk 'cause that separates us from the animals biting each other's cheeks off?" - (laughter) - That's just one of my fav-- I w-- 'cause I was-- yeah, I'm always that guy that's like yeah, it's-- this humidity is killer, though. You got a couple go-tos. - Are you good in any scenario? - "Three-shower day today, huh?" - I don't know. Hit me with some. You wanna sma-- - All right, uh... - A small talk challenge? - Ly-- back of a Lyft-- Lyft Shared. - (scoffs) Back-- I mean-- - You gotta be the guy? - How 'bout this fuckin' traffic, huh? - Oh, it's pretty nuts, man. Out by the bridge it gets worse. When're they gonna fix it? They've been putting that bridge in for years. What's up? Come at me! - Wow, that was good. - Do the same line to me. - Uh, how about this fucking traffic, huh? - I don't know, why are you cursing? Be a professional. - (laughter) - All right, can I get out here? - All right, a barbershop-- barbershop-- waiting on the bench at the barbershop. - Okay. - Um... - Sup, man? - He been cutting your hair a long time? This is only my second time. - No, brand new. - Oh, cool. - You know what I love? It's like "The Office" with Ricky Gervais where he does the act-outs with the coach and he's like "sometimes the complaints will be false" 'cause he makes it up. - I'll give you one more here. - All right. - We're waiting, we're at an H&M, we're waiting to go into the dressing room-- - Yeah. - Right? So we're waiting. - Sure. - Good deals on these sweatshirts, huh? - Yeah, none of 'em fit me. I need to leave. - Oh. Dude, you're nailing it, Dan. - Can I give you some? - Yeah, come on. - You're at the world's biggest gangbang. - Sure. - You're number 73, number 74 behind you goes "hey, man, leave some for me up there, eh?" - (laughter) - And I go... (scoffs) I'll let you know if there's any left. Wink. - (laughter) That's good. - You're fucking killing it. - You're in the pocket, man. - I'm just fucking hitting-- - Anybody, uh, 844-COMEDY9, if you wanna make small talk with Dan. - (laughter) - Bring it! Start small talk with me. - Someone's on hold saying "hey, waiting on hold's to get on 'The Bonfire' is kinda wild, huh?'" - And then I go yeah, but it's worth it 'cause then, you know, you get to talk to the whole crew. (screams) - (laughter) - While we wait for the calls to start pouring in, I'm sure, uh-- everyone can't wait to make small talk with Dan-- uh, our film crew is here today. - Corey and Lynn. - Corey and Lynn. Pornographer Corey, big hit. - Smut peddler Corey. Yeah, it was-- man, it was-- it was-- very in-- it was cool, first off, that they were there. - So cool. - And it was just like-- - And can we shout out-- Lynn, can you shout the names of the other people who came too? 'Cause you guys had a crew there with you. - You guys... - (Lynn speaking off mic) - Hop on mic. - (Lynn) Uh, let's see. There was Chloe, Brian, and Corey on camera. (Christine) And Chloe worked on "What's Your Fucking Deal?" - (Lynn) Yes. - Nice. - Kevin on audio. What is it, Baltz? - (Corey) And a guy named Baltz. - Baltz. - (Dan and Jay) Baltz! - (Lynn) Who was the gaffer. - Yeah, dude. - Is he German? - (Corey) Swiss. - Wow. - (Lynn) Reese, who was our... uh, AC. - Yeah. - And then Jamie, Laurel, Desiree-- - Sounds like a speech at the end of the thing where you're like "and if there's anybody else I forgo--" (overlapping chatter) - You get play-off music from an awards show. - (Lynn) Everybody was great. - Did you guys have a blast? - Yeah, we had a really fun t-- - Did you feel violated? - Not at all! - Did anybody touch you? - It actually felt like a safe space. - Did it? - Yeah. - You know, 'cause I mean, this is-- this is kinda how we should get into this topic, which is a major topic, and we'll pause for Small Talk with Dan. - Yeah, we gotta pause a lot for Small Talk with Dan because Lou is over there like he's fuckin' taking eight calls for-- "The president's been shot. The president's been shot." - So there is-- Skankfest is being reported on now in major outlets like Newsweek and a couple other places saying because Louis CK showed up and did a set they're painting Skankfest in a negative light. Kind of interesting 'cause you guy ar-- you know, you work for Comedy Central, you're coming to film us for Comedy Central which has their Clusterfest going on. And you were there a-- they kinda made us look like the bad guys, did you-- did you feel in any way that Skankfest was aggressive, alt-right, proud boy-- - (Lynn) No, not at all. Everybody was super cool. - 'Cause you don't know, 'cause these are like our fans and you're like these are all great guys. It'd be like finding out, you know, one of your neighbors like hit his kids. You'd be like "oh, fuck, I didn't know that. "When I was friends with him, I didn't have that working knowledge." - Buddy, I'm sure we have plenty of Trump supporter fans. - Sure, fine. - And fucking left-leaning, extreme whatever. - I bet there's people that would n-- not get along at all politically that are fans of ours. - Except that they're at Skankfest. - And Skankfest is a thing where it brings-- you're seeing like-- I was seeing Jimmy Martinez and just like random people along with like Sam Morril, you know, which I guess you see him at the clubs. But like Michael Che, Dulcé Sloan-- - Jews, Muslims, everything. - Everybody. - Well, I said I'd love for this uninclusive thing t-- I said with the things we have to put out that are so funny-- one, we wouldn't put this out 'cause it's not filmed anyway. But Naked R-- I mean, we had a transgender chick on fucking Naked Roast. It was like-- - I guess I wanna start with the Brooklyn Bazaar... - Yeah. - I'm just-- as someone that's not-- as someone that's affiliated with the festival as far as being a performer there and had an amazing weekend, you and Christine, it's your festival, it's Christine's festival... - It's Christine, Luis, and Rebecca-- - ...and Rebecca Trent's festival, and-- - I'm like a, you know, a figurehead, I guess-- - Sure. - It's based off of our thing. - I would say in wrestling terms, if this is AEW, you're Cody Rhodes. You know? She's-- - I don't get the reference but I'll take it. - Someone listening right now just heard that and they're like "Soder nailed it." But what I mean is it's Christine's festival, it's Luis' festival, it's Rebecca's festival. We're just participants. Justin... - Yeah. - You know, we were all there all weekend. - Mm-hmm. - And, um, to read Brooklyn Bazaar coming out and making it sound like Louis-- like it was the opening scene of "Dark Knight" and it was the bank robbery-- - Bullied his way in. - Yeah, like came in and did a set is insane. It is insane. - The club put an apology out for Louis performing. In the apology-- - Do you wanna bring it up? - Bring it up, only because-- and while you're bringing it up, bring it up 'cause I wanna make sure I get these lines right 'cause there's-- there's a lotta lies. In the meantime, I'll answer these. - Let's sma-- you wanna do some Small Talk with Dan? - And by the way, when you answer th-- when I answer these phones and I say-- - Hit me with your small talk. - I say you're on, start the small talk. You're gonna g-- - Do they have to give the scenario they're in? - I'm telling you, you're gonna get 20 seconds with Dan Soder on all these phone calls. - Hold on. (inhales) - We're zipping through these. - Hold on. - Get in your space. Get in your space. - What's up? What's up? What's up? All right, do it. - How are you? Uh, Todd from Vegas. You're on Small Talk with Dan Soder. - Crackle crackle. - Crackle crackle. - Uh, you're waiting in line to sign the guest book at a funeral. Sorry for your loss, how'd you know the deceased? - Oh, I'm here with my girlfriend, it was her grandma. - All right. That's good small talk, Todd. You've just been pleasantly fucking occupied. - (laughter) - This is so great. - Drew in PA. Start some small talk with Dan Soder. - Yeah, so you walk in and-- you walk in and find your wife cheating on you, you start yelling, whatever, she leaves the room, you look over, dude's sitting in the corner butt naked putting on his socks, looks up and says so, how'd you and Mel meet? - Uh, man, just get your pants on, but it was in college. - Ah, that's good. That's good. There's no fight, he gets out. You realized the problem you had was with her. - Yeah. - Good small talk, Drew. - (laughter) - Uh, all right, let's get the Brooklyn Bazaar thing up here. - This is my favorite thing we've ever done. This is my favorite thing. - I hope the whole show the phone lines just stay lit. I promise you, everyone's only getting 20 seconds with you. - Can we get to the Bazaar tomorrow? - (laughter) - Uh, Brooklyn Bazaar putting this on Facebook on Instagram saying "Regarding Louis CK's appearance "at Brooklyn Bazaar the other night: "We would like to state that this was a surprise appearance "and that the venue had no prior knowledge that his performance would occur." - (Christine) True. - "By the time "he was brought through the side entrance by promoters and put on stage--" - False. False. - Time out. - He was there for hours. - Hold on. "By the time he was brought through the side entrance by promoters and put on stage" makes him sound like a circus animal. Let me tell you what happened. - One, side entrance doesn't exist. - Yeah, there isn't. You can't get in from the side-- - They had to keep him wet the whole time... - Like "Free Willy." - Right. - (imitates whale blowing) "We have to get Willy on stage!" - Just pouring water bottles in his blowhole. - "Quick, everyone, show pornography to him "so he can masturbate his way to the stage. He moves like a snail through his own sludge." He, uh, I walked into the green room and Louis was talking to my two best fr-- two of my best friends, Jate and Nay. Uh, Jate and Nay? Nate and Jay. - Jate, Nay. - I got excited. I got excited, sorry. - Jate and Nay? - That was worse than my intro of him. - No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't. - Ah, fuck! - Uh... but it-- it was like one of those things, 'cause I knew List-- List told me, he was like "hey, I think Louis's coming by." - He's gonna come by. - Yeah, he's gonna come by and hang out, and I was like oh, he's not going up? He's like "no, he just wants to come by and hang out." - Oh, Lacob? Jew? Were you guys in the room for Louis? - Listen, dude... - In the room, yeah. - Oh, you were in the-- yeah, goddamnit. - Lacob. Jew. - (laughter) Lacob Jew. Lacob and Jew. Um, so he was in the green room and he was just hanging out, and you could see him kind of like relax. - He told me, he said he wasn't gonna go on. He was asked if he wanted to go on a couple times and then no one wanted to bother him after that, and just let him know that if he wants to go on, we'd be thrilled and anything you want. But if you wanna just hang, just hang, 'cause he came-- he came legitimately to hang. - Yeah. - Now, I mean, every comic had the feeling that when he gets there and sees the vibe like he's gonna wanna do it, let's hope so. - Well, that's also one of the best parts of Skankfest is-- and I think Corey and Lynn can agree... - Every year. - ...the excitement that the fans have for the shows themselves and the people on the shows is very contagious and very authentic. - Jeff Ross has never been booked on Skankfest, there every year. Every year, 'cause he always seems to be coming into town-- (Christine) Like one year it was "Roast Battle" filming, and then Clusterfest, it's always like he has a big shoot conflict with it and somehow he always like comes and makes it. - The last day he comes always, just to show up. - Yeah. - (Christine) He came and crowdsurfed the last night. - Oh my God, yeah. - Well, let's get to it. "He was... by the time he was brought through the--" talking about Louis CK-- "By the time "he was brought through side entrance "by promoters and put on stage, "it was too late for our staff to stop it. "Management felt stopping it may put our staff in danger because of the large crowd." (with English accent) I write to you, Georgetta, letting you know that the war is over. Louis CK is gone and in his wrath lay only broken and fallen soldiers. - Danger from the large crowd. - That is fucking crazy-- - I can tell you what's for sure, the staff there, blown away with excitement... - Yep. - ...that he walked through the front doors, and also with him going on stage, blown away with excitement. - Let me-- - G-- go ahead. - I just wanna read this sentence one more time. "Manag--" and this is-- "Management felt stopping it may put our staff in danger because of the large crowd." (Christine) By the way, stopping it would've been coming to me, Christine Evans, and Rebecca Trent. - And lighting him. - So the lie to be put out that they thought coming to us to tell us "hey--" by the way, there was no-- no-fly list, we were not told nobody could perform, they knew we were gonna have drop-ins, and everybody there seemed to be super excited he was going on. (overlapping chatter) - If he was frantically lit by one of us, he would've quietly-- it would've seemed like Louis CK did five minutes. It is fucking infuriating. Ryan in Miami, Small Talk with Dan. - Hey, guys. - Hey, Ryan. - Hey, can we-- I actually have one for you. Can you do the gangbang one again? - Huh? - Just set it up? The gangbang one, can you just set that up again? 'Cause I have one for you. - You're number 73 in a gangbang, 74-- - I get it, yeah. Go ahead. - Yeah. Oh, man. How about they let Mandingo go first? By the time I get there, it's gonna be like getting the last of the jelly out of the jar, am I right? - Oh, man, yeah, it's gonna be like walking on a Slip 'N Slide. - (laughter) - Ugh, no feeling whatsoever. - Yeah, but we still got it. Knuckle pound. - Good small talk. Oh, Liz. Liz in South Carolina. Little small talk with Dan? - Hey, y'all, yeah. Um, okay, so you just got arrested, I'm the female officer, and you have to bend over and cough. So, what're you in for? - (exhales) Speeding. - (laughter) - All right. - Good small talk, Liz. Um, go ahead, Dan, I'm sorry. - Um, anyways, back to the apology from Brooklyn Bazaar. (laughter) (Christine) Every time I read another sen-- I've tried to stay off social media completely over the last few days. If anything with the fucking Legion of Skanks and Milo situation taught me, it's better just to not look. (with English accent) - Louis CK threatened the lives off all of our staff-- - Do you know how many people Ari Shaffir put his dick on this weekend without asking? - A lot. - And Louis CK's the problem? - Yeah. He's the problem? - Turn your focus, everybody. - You wanna hit 'em with the falling down? - Down with Ari Shaffir. - And I'm the bad guy? Ari Shaffir put his asshole on another man. - Louis CK should just throw Ari Shaffir under the bus hard. - Oh, dude, that'd be great - Why is this guy here? - Oh, come on, dude! (makes horn honking sound) - "We would first like to apologize to our community and staff for what occurred--" Dude, do you know what occurred? - Sorry, staff. Sorry, staff, for seeing all that awesome comedy. Dave Attell interviews. - You saw Dave Attell give a first long form interview. You watched fucking Gilbert Gottfried, you watched all these legendary comedians-- - Bill Burr played the drums. - Yeah, you've got-- - Bill Burr. Oh, Christ, Bill Burr was there. - Oh, no! What else! Also you got to se-- - It's the second club that said Bill Burr not welcome. - Yeah. - The whole thing too, it's like the-- right after-- this was my favorite tweet-- right after Louis went on, Bonnie McFarlane went on stage and called Louis CK a pervert. - Hang on, guys, we gotta regroup here, I think. Brian in Chicago, have a little small talk with Dan Soder. - Crackle crackle. All right, you're at the urinal in the Comedy Store, and Gilbert Gottfried walks in and says "so, 'Billions', have you fucked the bald chick yet?" - Oh, no, man, that would ruin our friendship. - Good small talk, Brian. (as Gilbert Gottfried) "I wanna know "if you've banged that bald woman. "Have you had sex with her? What was it like?" Not a bad Gilbert. - That was a fantastic Gilbert, I tell ya-- - The bald woman kinda looks like Gilbert now, though. - (as Gilbert) "I..." - (as Gilbert) "I-- look, I coulda had that part." - Buddy, you just bought yourself one more small talk. Ben in Minnesota, a little small talk with Dan Soder. - Crackle crackle. And happy birthday, Sod. - Hey. - Hey, uh, both-- you're in a locker room, and you got your towel on. A guy comes up to you, puts his foot on the bench and says "how's it hangin'?" - Oh, man, better for you than me, huh? All right, I gotta get outta here. - Oh, good escape, too. Good small talk, Ben. Good small talk. - Sometimes movement is more important. All right, back to the apology. All right. "We will make sure "to be more clear when discussing our guidelines "and policies with outside events and to vet these events more thoroughly..." - Yeah, give us a good talking to when we just made them a ton of money. - Go to 411 comments, let's see what the people are saying. "I wish everyone would pull up their big boy and big girl panties and grow the hell up." All right, Kathleen! - Kathleen! - Your loss. "Skankfest is likely "your biggest draw, and how can you "vilify Louis CK one moment and charge $15 "for a Red Bull vodka the next? "7.5 million for an outdated, falling apart "fire hazard of a Polish catering hall? "You should be happy if anyone books there. "Stop worrying about the talent on the stage "and start worrying about having enough toilets for 1,200 people." That was Travis Jordan. - Travis Jordan. - What else you got? Juan Mateos? "He didn't commit a crime, he had consen--" oh, Jesus, Juan. Come on, get out of here. - (laughter) - He's getting too much into it now. - Juan? (whistles) Beat it. - I mean, it bums me out. While we're figuring out comments, Steve in Washington DC, have a little small talk with Dan Soder. - Hey, what's up? - Hey, Danny, happy birthday, buddy. - Thanks, buddy. - Hey, uh, you see that Eagles of Death Metal documentary yet on HBO? - (exhales) Watched it twice, man. It's a tough watch. - I know. I recommended it to you the last time you were in DC. - Now you're locked. Now you're locked. Now you're locked in conversation. - Yeah. - You didn't dip out fast enough. Steve... - Steve. - Decent small talk. - Decent small talk. - What's happening-- um, which is awesome-- is a lot of the comics that were on the festival are just l-- we haven't defen-- we haven't had to defend ourselves at all. Which is great, and I think we just owe our fans an apology to the Brooklyn Bazaar because the way that the Brooklyn Bazaar is making our fanbase out to be when it's-- I mean, we had like grown men crying tears of joy. We had people working together. Corinne Fisher just put this out. She said "I've never seen-- "I've never seen men be more scared of women than at Skankfest in a good way." - I almost heard you do it. - Yeah. - "There was a time when I thought they were the problem, "then I smelled them and saw their bellies filled "with ballpark franks and was so happy "they have this comedy fest because they're misfits just like the rest of us." - That's a beautiful statement by Corinne Fisher. And yeah, man, it is. It's like everyone that wasn't there has these like-- these very staunch opinions about Skankfest and you're like what the fuck are you talking about? If you would've been there, it felt like a fun comic book convention. - It's like camp. - Well, I mean, really, who needs opinions when you got small talk. - Here's the whole part about small talk: you never can stop your feet. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's gotta be that smooth. It's gotta be that smooth. - If you stop your feet, you're not small talking. - It's like a look back at most. You're like all right, I'm gonna... - That's how you continue it... - Right, at an angle and point. - She hit me with a-- she definitely-- she hit me with a double arced small talk downstairs. - Like, I gotta-- - It was a "how you doing?" "Good." "Hot enough for you?" "Mostly humidity getting me." Ba-ba-ba, it's like-- - But everyone's saying hi or crackle crackle, you're getting that motion still. - Sure, but it's-- - It's a two volley fuckin'-- - Yeah, it's word tennis. - It's like an arm length away. You can like pat 'em on the last word. - (making tennis volley sounds) - And ba-ba-ba. - (imitating players grunting) (imitations continue) - (laughter) - Brent in Texas. Small talk with Jay? - Crackle crackle. - Crackle crackle. - All right, you're in a backroom focus session that turned into a bukkake session on one of the staff. - Mm-hmm. - Oh, looks like you had a good hand. - Yeah, well, if you ain't going first, you're going last, right? Hey, I'll be in line. - Great. Great. - Was that good? - That was good, that was good. - That was much better. - That was really good. Let me g-- let me get one. - I didn't feel like that one was good. - Come on, dude. - No, that one was really good. - Well, here's great news, is the rest of everybody wants to talk to you. Um, oh. Trevor in Canada, small talk with Dan? - (laughter) - (voice breaking up) - Oh, he was eaten by a bear. I gotta kee-- - (laughter) - These are dangerous parts. - I'll fill it in. Uh, you guys eve-- you guys got good disco fries, you ever try poutine? - Oh, yeah, man, uh, I had it once in Montreal. Pretty good. Oh, my bus is here. - (laughter) - (footsteps sound effect) - I'll give you another one. - I'm a good set-up guy. - Yeah, the walking noise is great. - Oh... - To get outta there. - Let's see if you could have Hollywood-- let's see if you can have Hollywood, showbiz small talk, everyone. - All right. - Tony in Los Angeles. - (Dan) Oh. - Small talk with Dan? - Yo, Dan-o. - Hey, what's up, Tony? - Hey, man, I heard you played a little football back in high school, eh? - Yeah, man, outside linebacker. But I couldn't do nothin'-- - Outside? - Yeah. - Mike linebacker here. - Oh, man, see, you got all the responsibilities. They trusted you with the plays. - Nope, too late, it's over. You're in. - You're in. - He got ya. - God damn you, Tony! - You gotta pivot. - You sticky son of a bitch! - You win, Tony. - It can't end like this. I have to end on a positive. - Do I get a free pizza or something? - No, but you just win. - No, no, you just had a far too long conversation with Dan Soder. - You stu-- you stumped the goose. I don't even know what that means. - Thanks for the call, you stumped the goose, Tony. - You made him miss the elevat-- - Tony, you stumped the goose. - (laughter) - Tony, you stumped the goose. - Like, it means nothing. - We are becoming every radio show we've ever made fun of-- (mock disc jockey voice) - Are you guys ready to stump the goose? - Stump the goose. Um, this is pretty funny. I've been reading some of the comments-- - Justin's gonna wig out. Justin's gonna wig out if you don't end it on a positive. - Yeah, we'll be fine. - It's my OCD. - Your OCD is crazy. - Can you really just do one m-- - You gonna make him lick all the microphones? Or you wanna just take one more call? - I get so upset when it ends like that. - All right, one more. - And people, keep calling in, everyone. - Good pivot, keep moving, and get it out quick. - Yeah, I need you there-- you're like my pitching coach. - Good pivot. Acknowledge, pivot, out quick, keep moving. - All right, let's do it. - Ready? Go. - Andy in Indy. A little small talk with Dan? - Crackle crackle, guys. - Crackle crackle. - Good start. - So, Dan, you're at a 49ers game. Jimmy G just goes down with another apparent knee injury. The guy sitting next to you goes "oh, man, that looked rough." - You're telling me, I gotta call my grandma and tell her, I gotta get out of here. - Okay, that was good. - (Justin) Really good, wow. - That was good small talk. - I can relax. - (footsteps sound effect) - The footsteps! The fucking footsteps. (laughter) - The footsteps made the whole thing. If you get a good one, it's like hearing the crack of the bat and it's like-- that's the footsteps. - You're wearing office shoes. - (laughter) - But if you get away from it, you know what I mean, it's like "tong" if you get a good small talk. - Eulias in Dallas, you're having a little small talk with Dan? - All right, so, Dan, you're standing in line in a Chipotle, you're completely out of comedy, you know nothing about the comedy world. Guy standing in front of you is wearing knuckle gloves, a wallet chain, and a bandana out of the back pocket, turns around and says, "hey, man, you ever fucked a black guy or an Asian?" - Yeah, I don't know, I got burritos on my mind, buddy. Actually, you know what? I gotta go feed the meter. I'll be right back. - (footsteps sound effect) - It was a good dip out, but you r-- you didn't really-- that guy's waiting for you to come back to clarify what the hell you're talking about. - I said I got burritos on my mind. - Yeah, but that means almost like you didn't listen to him-- (overlapping chatter) - This jerk-off's got a wallet chain and knuckle gloves on, he's probably gonna be like "hey, what was with that weird like dip out?" - I go no, no, no, you want me to small talk back? See if I can double fold? - But now you're engaged. - No, 'cause watch me get back out of it. - What was that? I feel like you just didn't wanna like talk before. - Had to feed the meter. You know what? I picked the wrong Chipotle. I'm meeting my friends at another one. - This guy's like-- - A little engaged, Dan. - (footsteps sound effect) - Yeah, you're engaged. - Lou, inappropriate use of steps, he engaged. - All right, we're learning, we're learning. - (air horn sound effect) - (Jay) You know, why don't we give a little bit-- let's go to break. I wanna, uh-- why don't we ta-- Justin should get some wax here. Small Talk with Justin? - Yeah, we'll see-- yeah. - In fact, how about this, let's open it up. - You wanna throw me one? - Ready? Here we go. - Yeah. - We're both audience members at the Brooklyn Bazaar. - Sure. - Louis CK gets on stage. - Yeah. - Shit, you don't see this every day. - Insane. I gotta get a drink for this. - Perfect! - You can't, though. They would've not let you back in. - There was a back bar. - Bar in the room. - Back bar. - Bar in the room. - Okay. - Point, Soder. - I'm gonna-- I'm gonna open-- I'm gonna blow this wide open and say you can try to small talk with anybody on the staff. - Lou? Black Lou? - Ooh! - Pornographer Corey, Lynn. - Lynn! - Anybody else in this room. - Welcome to Small Talk Tuesday on "The Bonfire." - Small Talk Tuesday. - Bring your small talk. Small Talk with Jacob? - I'm learning so much today. This is actually really good for me because I-I'm trapped like a prisoner when somebody starts small t-- - Well, I bet the phones are gonna start raining down for Jacob small talk. - But Jacob, I could help you. Jacob, I can help you. This'll be good. No! - I don't know how to end it. I can't get out of it. - Jacob, here we go, watch. You're on-- you're in the operating room to get neck surgery, eh? The guy next to you, same situation, you go-- - (Jay) What? - You're in the operating room to get neck surgery. - And there's another guy in the operating room with you with the same problem? - No, they have the-- you're in-- you know, they have the double rooms. - For surgery? - Yeah, after surgery. - It's the prep room. - You said the operating room. - I'm sorry, after surgery-- - Hospital room. - Hospital room, that's what I meant, right? (overlapping chatter) - That wouldn't have been good small talk, that would've been me going what the fuck are you talking about? There's no double operating room. - Jay is our loca-- our fantasy location coordinator. - Thank you for fact checking. Ready? Shit, I haven't looked left in a month. - Yeah, I hear you. - That's it! That's it! - That's it. - I can't walk away, I'm in a hospital bed. - Let me get some wheel... (laughter) - He'd have to wheel himself out. - No, someone else wheels-- - Jacob, it was-- it was perfect, you just need to put more oomph in that "yeah, I feel you." - Want me to give it to you-- - You know what you do? You fuckin-- you drop it. - "I feel you." - (Jay) Don't do it. - Drop it. - You have to give him the whole set up. - (Jacob) Yeah, I hear you. - All right, so you're at the hospital again. Justin is laid up, you're laid up, right? And... go. - Shit, I haven't looked left in a month. - Yeah, I hear you. - Perfect. - (woman screaming sound effect) - Yeah, you're putting him in some pain. Pain. - That would be my only response. - (imitates woman screaming) - Hey, oh my god, is your neck killing you too? - (imitates woman screaming) - (woman screaming sound effect) - (imitates woman screaming) - (woman screaming sound effect) - Uh, we're gonna take our break. We'll be right back, it's "The Bonfire." - Still? - That second one. That's my favorite. - (laughter) (fire crackling) - Mike in Denver. Small talk with Jacob? - All right, so you're in an elevator after a job interview. So how'd it go in there, man? - Uh, yeah, I think it went pretty well. - You're locked in. You're dead. You're dead. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You're dead before you even started. - See, I don't-- - God damnit, Jacob. You are fucking dead. - Can I take this one? Yeah, all right, you know what? - M-- Mike in Denver? - Queue that back one up, and this one Justin Silver's gonna show Jacob what he should've done in small talk. - Say it to me again, buddy. - Mike in Denver, small talk with Jacob? With Justin? - So how'd it go in there, man? - Ah, you know how these things are. Fuck, I gotta take a shit. - Ooh, that's not bad. - (Dan) Let me step in there. - You're stuck in the elevator, but it makes the guy probably stop talking you. - You are also dead in the water. - Why? - You haven't left a good impression. You haven't left a good impression. - You wiggled out with the "you know how those things go." Loved that. - That was good? - You gotta shit, now this guy thinks you're an active volcano, man. - Oh! Now I understand. - Nope, it's gone. - I'll try another one soon. - (Jacob) That starts another-- - I can't end on a negative. - This wasn't your fault, Mike. It was a good scenario, Mike. I'm not blaming you for that. - Fuck, man! - Good small talk. Good small talk, Mike. Bad small talk, Justin. Bad small talk. - Why don't you throw me one? Why do-- why d-- - Let me see it again. - You want a piece? You wanna get a little piece right here? Hey, John in Louisiana. You're from the Bayou and you're having small talk with Dan. - Thanks, guys. Happy birthday, Dan. - Hey, thanks. - Okay, you've just been arrested and you're sitting in a holding cell. And you just meet your cellmate. He says "you come here often?" - (laughter) No, I hope I don't stay long. All right, I'm gonna go use the bathroom. - (footsteps sound effect) - Lotta problems with that, Dan. You're-- you're sitting in the bathroom with him-- - Sure. - Because it's a cell. - I'm walking over to the toilet. - Yeah, but you're not just gonna start ripping shit in a holding cell. - No, I'm gonna piss. - Yeah, but you're no-- - It's a power move. - You're not away from him. - Jay-- - You've laughed at his joke-- can I just-- I'm giving you constructive. You laughed at his joke. You laughed at his joke... - Yes, that's part of small talk. - No, no, no, no. - Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Small talk is very-- listen, break it down to that thing where she said "hot enough for ya?" I went ha, it's the humidity. Do you think that's really making me laugh? - He's gonna-- he's gonna keep ripping jokes with you all night. He's gonna keep doing all that stuff, you know what I mean? - See, that's why my "take a shit" is good, 'cause you get him out of there. - "Hey, which one of us is the husband, right?" (sarcastic laugh) "Oh, boy, right?" - No, man, I said I hope I don't stay in here long. I think I'm out. - I thought that part was really good. - I'll dial that play up... - "Hey, Dan, you awake? Is this a fart or my mouth?" (blows raspberry) - Ha, I hope it's your mouth just for your butt's sake. All right, I gotta-- I got yard work in the morn-- - I gotta catch some Z's. - I gotta press some... - I tell you what, prison holding cell, it's almost impossible to make small talk. - But if anyone can do it, it could be me. - If anyone can do it. You know, while we're at it, Lou in Ohio, you want a little small talk with DJ Lou? - Crackle crackle, Lou. - (laughter) - He just doesn't look at him! - (laughter continues) - Is that what you would do, just a leering stare? "Hey, crackle crackle, Lou." - Oh, "crackle crackle" is the small talk? - No, but you can say it back to him before he gives you the scenario. "Crackle crackle." "Who are you and what do you want?" - (laughter) - Now the cards are stacked against me, aren't they? - Let's go. - (laughter) - I'm sorry, I'll res-- let me reset, let me reset. - That leering stare. - Gee, he goes "crackle crackle" and he went... (sighs menacingly) - (laughter) - I thought you had a-- I thought you had a-- I thought you had one of those silent seizures. - And then he goes "well, let's go." - "Let's-- let's go with it, buddy. What do you wanna say to me? Wanna ask me about the weather?" - All right, all right. Come on-- - The thought in my head of just stepping in an elevator and him being like "hey, man, how you doing?" And Lou just staring at him-- - The guy's looking at you. No headphones in. - (laughter) - All right, try again. Try again. - All right, uh, hey, Lou in Ohio. Small talk with DJ Lou? - Crackle crackle DJ Lo-- - Crackle crackle, camper! - Fantastic. Um, quick question, how does it feel to work with the venerable Dale Griffin who just got shouted out on ESPN Radio the other day? - Uh, Dan and Jay are pretty much a team. You know, I gotta go, I gotta make some sound drops. - (Jay) No, that's just-- - That question was not small talk-y by nature, that's not your fault. - Yeah, small talk's also-- this is someone you don't know, it's gotta be someone you don't know. (overlapping chatter) Good shot at small talk, Lou, but I will say you probably brought one of the hardest cheek laughs I've had today. - Dude, I-- - By having DJ Lou just freeze on a dime at your straight-up salutation. Uh, "gagootz". - Rashad Williams tweeted "as a gay person of color, I wanna say that I felt safer "with the Legion of Skanks fans at Skankfest NYC "than I did walking down the streets of New York. "Luis J. Gomez created an environment "of acceptance and comedy, whoever doubts that knows nothing about either." - Hell yeah. - Yeah, dude. What's up? - Gay and black? Hell yeah. What an endorsement. Captain D, a little small talk with DJ Lou? Captain D, small talk with DJ Lou? - Yeah, um, so I'm picking up my kid from the little church daycare that he goes to. And, you know, pedophilia. Kind of an issue, huh? (Corey Feldman recording) I can tell you that the number one problem in Hollywood was, and is, and always will be pedophilia. - You guys texted each other, Captain D. You guys worked together as a team there. - (Dan) That's a setup. - You guys-- you Papoose brothers just worked that out with us. - That's juiced. - I feel like-- - You guys are like the Oakland A's in '89. You're on the juice. - I feel like you can't go in with these heavy topics. The weather thing is like ah, it's weather. - That's what I'm saying-- - That's what it is. - No, there's some good freaky ones. - Josh Homme's an engaging topic though. - Yeah, you can't even do that. - If somebody tried to start small talk in the waiting room of an abortion clinic?

You think that's Viagra? You think Joey's got a problem getting a hard-on? - I think Joey's doing all right. I gotta go, man. - (Dan) Not bad. - No, that sou-- I don't think it was good. That sounded like you were-- - (Jacob) But he's asking pointed questions, that's not small talk. - You sound like you're his quiet, secret gay lover who just got offended by this person so much that you're gonna walk away. "I don't think he has problems in that area at all. I gotta go!" - Well, I'm not, but I defend-- - He goes "he's a very sensitive lover--" - I'm sure he doesn't have any problems. - "I don't know, why don't you "get off his dick, you fucking loser? I gotta go buy a shirt." - One of Jacob's loves of Joey Logano is to say "I think the man is very virile." - There's no goddamn way he has any problems in the sack. - How do you know that? - You don't know that. - Based off of what? - He's a champion. - So what? He's not a fucking horse. - No. - Yeah. - He's a champion on the track and he fucks like a champ-- - So? He could be-- he could be a soft boy off it. - See-- see the emotional investment in it? That's what's making it hard to pivot. - Yeah, it's not small talk. - It's fucking up the pivot. - You want him to be rock hard. Yeah, you come at me, you get the fuckin'-- you get the realness. - You were supposed to help me. - Fucking up the pivot. - We have to wrap up a little bit early here. Tony in Los Angeles, small talk with Big Jay? - Yo, Big Jay. - Mm-hmm. - Hey, man, I caught your set at the Cellar last night. Funny shit, brother.

I'm gonna head there myself later, I think, but I got a thing right now-- No, no, no, he's engaging. (overlapping chatter) He's bullying through. - You were out, you were out. You had it at Ben's and you were supposed to cut it, but you fucking got greedy, stayed in too long. Door closed. - You know what it was, you were thinking about that grandma slice, you were about to tell him about it. - Yeah, you know what? - You know what I mean? - Can I be honest with you? I am bad at small talk because you're absolutely right. People ask me why I get caught up in a lot of conversations because I am people pleasing. - People-pleasing. - And I do wanna tell 'em how great the grandma slice is. - But this is for real, I gotta go 'cause I'm on-- - Tony in Los Angeles, thank you for your call. - I gotta end it at 7:55. - Well, where do you gotta go? - I gotta go down to Tom Papa's show. I told you about it earlier. But listen, I'ma see you tomorrow, okay? I'm gonna take off. - (footsteps sound effect) - Are they mad at us? Sure. Do we go at the company hard?

Devon Weist, AuD Devon Weist, AuD 2019 Nominee Member-at-Large Clinical Instructor and Hearing Clinic Director University of South Florida BA: Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Pittsburgh, 2002MA: Audiology, University of Pittsburgh, 2004AuD: Audiology, University of Pittsburgh, 2006 Why are you interested in serving on the Academy board? For the past 12 years, it has been a privilege to practice audiology. Reflecting back 12 years, I was among the first generation of students to graduate with the doctorate of audiology degree. I am thankful every day for my advanced level of education. My training has provided me with opportunities to serve those with hearing and balance problems while educating future audiologists in my role as a clinical instructor. Along my journey, I have learned from mentors and colleagues the significance of being involved in my profession beyond the everyday nature of the job. I have come to recognize the significance of my involvement at both state and national levels. I am proud to be a member of the American Academy of Audiology and Florida Academy of Audiology where I have served on numerous committees and volunteered in many activities. Being a member of these organizations, I am able to see firsthand the challenges and opportunities our profession faces in the future. I welcome the opportunity to serve and will continue to work as a voice for our membership and those individuals we serve. I will continue to promote the mission of the Academy to “advance our profession through leadership, advocacy, education, public awareness, and support of research.” What challenges or key issues do you see for the audiology profession in the next five years? What would you hope to accomplish relative to these challenges during your term on the board? I believe the biggest challenge audiology faces in the coming years is keeping an openness and understanding that change is coming. Change doesn’t need to be the scary elephant in the room. I would argue it is the most important reason to stay involved and be members of both our national and state professional organizations! These organizations exist to keep members informed of challenges, educate members on best practices, support research driving data, technology, and protocols, and advocate for the profession and those we serve. One of the first challenges we face is adapting to a new and everchanging healthcare system. We as Audiologists need to stop relying on the motto of this is how it’s always been done. We can’t keep hiding behind X’s and O’s. We must realize that today’s hearing loss and balance problems exist in complex, educated human beings who are able to receive care from websites or apps on their smartphones. Therefore, we have to provide audiologic services that are patient centered and evidenced based! If we want to be respected and treated like the doctoral level profession that we are, collectively everyone needs to practice to the highest level of our scope of practice. The days of not doing hearing aid verification or testing speech in noise need to be vanquished to give way for audiologists to spend time reviewing medications and performing balance screenings routinely. Through continuing education opportunities, we can continue to educate audiologists on protocols and clinically relevant practices so they are able to perform all these tasks during daily appointments. A large catalyst for this change in practicing to the highest level of our scope begins with the educational standards of our AuD programs. AuD programs need to be held to the highest standards to ensure students are graduating prepared to be the main providers for hearing and balance healthcare. The Academy needs to continue to support its accreditation process, grow the number of universities accredited to these highest standards, and promote and mentor both PhD and AuD Audiologists working within Universities. In addition, the Academy also needs to look at ways to support universities at the undergraduate level to generate interest in audiology. This means creative marketing campaigns to students not only interested in becoming audiologists but also generate interest in becoming audiology assistants. Our profession, as a whole, needs to embrace using assistants so we as doctors are free to spend time evaluating, counseling, and recommending the best course of treatment for each individual we serve. I understand the responsibility of accepting the nomination for the Academy Board of Directors as an opportunity to work with national, state, and other professional organizations. I truly believe the changes we face can be tackled if we keep an open, positive mindset that always has the clear goal of furthering the profession. What experience do you have in the planning, evaluation, and implementation of a strategic plan? I have been involved with strategic planning both through my role as the hearing clinic director at the University of South Florida and as a board member for the Florida Academy of Audiology. Successful strategic plans are developed with an understanding that the plan must reflect the organization’s vision and mission so that anything carried out always relates back to the core values. Recently the Academy has restructured leadership and committee oversight with the goal that everything done relates back to Audiology being the leaders of hearing and balance healthcare. AAA is a large organization with many moving parts, therefore having a detailed plan for structure and implementation will allow the organization to bring about the positive changes needed to move forward. List any experience in Financial Management. Describe your experience in developing and implementing a budget for a practice, business, department, or organization. As the clinic director at USF, I am responsible for overseeing all clinical services and providers in our hearing clinic. We provide all audiologic services across the lifespan in addition to serving as a training clinic for USF AuD students. In the three years that I have been the clinic director, we have added 2 full time providers, 1 part time provider, 1 additional support staff, as well as a fourth-year extern to facilitate our growth while maintaining a positive budget. I have also been a part of helping a state organization develop a financially sound strategic plan. The organization was originally running a deficit, which in the past four years has been erased. During these four years I have served as the treasurer, president elect, and president. From the list below, select three competencies you feel best represent your leadership strengths. Commitment, Organizational Knowledge, Teamwork Based on the three competencies selected above, comment on how you feel these qualities would positively affect your ability to serve on the Academy board. “Leadership is not a position or a title, it is action and example.” –Cory Booker I think all the competencies listed are attributes needed to serve as a member of a professional board. The three competencies I chose to describe my strengths are commitment, organization knowledge, and teamwork. Commitment: I feel a strong commitment to Audiology. This is our profession and I feel very strongly about giving back to something that has allowed me to meet many wonderful colleagues, patients and future audiologists, travel to places I would have never imagined, and accomplish things I would have never thought possible. I hope that by working at a University, volunteering to serve on national and state boards, and committing to continuing to learn new things about this profession I am contributing to Audiology being a vital part of healthcare. I am also committed to the Academy and its steadfast efforts to tackle not only the challenges but the many opportunities that present themselves. Organizational Knowledge: In order for any initiative to be implemented it begins with having an understanding and knowledge of organization. Great ideas never go anywhere unless they are carried out and implemented. Through my role as a clinic director and serving as a state academy board member I have learned the importance of realizing and relying on the talents of many individuals. Everyone has something to offer and finding a way to use their strengths for the betterment of a project is what allows for organizations to flourish. I look forward to the opportunity to work with and learn from all the individuals that serve on the Board of Directors as well as the many committees throughout AAA. Teamwork: Audiology can’t move forward without the group as a whole working together. One of the greatest things about our profession is the diversity that exists in regard to areas of practice, research, and technology. No one can say Audiologists aren’t passionate! However, that passion needs to be channeled into remembering why we became Audiologists in the first place-to help those we serve. We need to work together collectively and realize that when differences do exist, we need to maintain professional dialogue and foster open communications. I have worked on many “teams” and the most rewarding situations were the ones in which everyone contributed, and all opinions and ideas were used constructively to help the team succeed. I would welcome the opportunity to work as a team member on the Board of Directors.

Though Chandrababu Naidu boasts of putting Information Technology to the best use, Jagan wondered that he suddenly wakes up to find that the state is facing severe drought and the cabinet has no time to discuss the steps to mitigate the drought though it has time to discuss the Swiss Challenge method for capital formation. He asked why the state level Bankers' meeting has been postponed beyond the assembly session as the state would draw a flak and farmers have been hit hard by TDP governance from the beginning. He accused that on one side Naidu has been allowing water to drawn from Srisailam indiscriminately and has been showing no interest to complete the Telugu Ganga, Galeru Nagari, Handri Neva and other projects which benefit the farmers immensely. Jagan lamented that Naidu's policies have been against the interests of farmers and continues to pursue them. "We demand that water should be given to farmers who come under KC Canal by January next to cover 92,000 acres of land. The submergence issue of Ghandikota should be solved and the project should be completed and at least 12 TMC water should be stored," Jagan said.

. [I]n MRA propaganda designed for the oriental market there is practically no mention of Christianity: Christ, if named at all, is sandwiched unobtrusively between Gautama the Buddha and Mahatma Ghandhi; the suggestion is that, whatever your faith, you will be the better — a better Hindu or Buddhist or Moslem — for accepting MRA’s rule of life; and this rule of life, so far as it is theistic at all, is consistent … with a relatively undogmatic pantheism. – The Mystery of Moral Re-Armament; A Study of Frank Buchman and His Movement, Tom Driberg, 1965 Then there was the matter of Buchman’s words, “Thank Heaven for a man like Hitler!” While he was able to downplay its significance in the pre-war years, as Hitler’s vile immorality and list for power became inescapably clear, these words came back to haunt him. High profile and politically connected members who were not antisemitic, or at least not eager to be publicly identified as such, moved away from the group. It was a race to remake the world, and Buchman lost. Wherever MRA was strong, war’s threat was stronger. Before December first, peace was broken in England where MRA had been a morale-builder, a fostering mother in the years of crisis. MRA’s idealistic dream of “bridges between nations” was being swept away. The strategist for souls saw Europe breaking in his hands, while vicious rumors arose to taunt him. Chamberlain, who had believed in MRA, was disgraced. He had trusted Hitler too much. Out of the failure of the tragicomic Munich appeasement, Buchman’s words bounced back. What did he mean when he said, “I thank God for a man like Hitler”? Secessions from the group reached landslide proportions. Was he a Nazi sympathizer? – They Have Found a Faith, Marcus Bach In England the Group’s reputation suffered greatly for its draft dodging, resulting in the loss of most Group members serving in Parliament. (There were 172 members in Parliament at the Group’s zenith.) In the United States, Senator Harry S. Truman, who had once aided the efforts of MRA draft dodgers, turned from the group when he became a possible vice-presidential candidate. “A member of the Grandview (Mo.) Baptist Church since his youth, Candidate Truman was once interested enough in Buchmanism to speak twice at Oxford Group meetings. He now disclaims any interest in the Oxford Group, has never met Founder Frank Buchman.” – TIME magazine, Monday, August 14, 1944

G. Some Airtel/Vodafone stores though offered me (very kindly) that they can give me a pre-paid SIM card in Gurgaon but would charge double the money for it. I do not know about the fringe operators (DoCoMo, Reliance, Virgin etc.) but the mainstream ones are certainly not offering pre-paid SIMs anymore. To get some official word on this, I wrote an email to Vodafone care. This is the response I got: Thank you for your email dated 01/02/10 regarding services on your Vodafone mobile numbers. We sincerely regret the delay in replying to your e-mail and the inconvenience caused to you. We would like to inform you that, currently we are not offering prepaid connections in Gurgaon. If you wish to take postpaid connection then you can visit your nearest Vodafone store( list enclosed). Assuring you with the best of our services at all the times. In case you need further assistance, please do call or email us. We?ll do our best to help you. Happy to help, Does anyone know what is going on? I think in Kashmir & Laddakh its by govt. mandate that mobile carriers can’t provide pre-paid connections. But in Gurgaon it seems the carriers are doing so by their own will. Still, I think people can buy pre-paid connections in Delhi, they still work at local rates in the NCR region.

JOSHUA TREE TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE AFTER SHUTDOWN DAMAGE: California's Joshua Tree National Park will completely shutter Thursday so that officials can address damage wrought during the ongoing government shutdown. The 790,636-acre park between Palm Springs and Joshua Tree in southern California has felt the effects of the government shutdown that started Dec. 22, which left the park unattended because workers could not work. ADVERTISEMENT The park is experiencing overflowing trash cans, clogged toilets and destruction of habitat. While the shutdown furloughed park rangers and suspended basic amenities such as trash collection and road clearing, the Trump administration opted to leave gates open so that the public could continue to visit. The National Park Service (NPS) announced in a press release Tuesday that the park will temporarily close beginning Thursday in order to "to allow park staff to address sanitation, safety, and resource protection issues in the park that have arisen during the lapse in appropriations." Officials say the park will be reopened "in the coming days." Government employees will pay for the maintenance needs by pulling from funds collected through park entrance fees. While maintenance workers will be paid through those coffers, other essential NPS staff--such as law enforcement officers--will still not be paid, due to the shutdown. In front of the White House on Tuesday, Speier said that the government shutdown has left the country "with a real problem on our hands." "Mr. Trump, here's your trash," she said. "We did the work of some of your employees at the National Park Service, who by the way, in our area, have a hard time making it because it's such a high-cost area. ... We have a real problem on our hands." German reinsurance firm Munich RE said the Northern California fire resulted in damages of $16.5 billion. More than 80 people were killed and thousands of buildings were destroyed during the November fire that ravaged Butte County, making it the deadliest wildfire in state history. "Our data shows that the losses from wildfires in California have risen dramatically in recent years," Ernst Rauch, Munich Re's head of climate and geosciences, said in a statement. "At the same time, we have experienced a significant increase in hot, dry summers, which has been a major factor in the formation of wildfires. Many scientists see a link between these developments and advancing climate change." Overall, the United States accounted for 60 percent of insured value lost during 2018. DEMS INTRODUCE BILLS TO BLOCK FUTURE OFFSHORE DRILLING: A group of House Democrats introduced a suite of eight bills Tuesday aimed at blocking President Trump's proposal to expand offshore oil and natural gas drilling around the country. Taken together, the bills would ban or put a 10-year moratorium on offshore drilling in the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans, as well as the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The bills came as the Interior Department is expected soon to move forward on its plan released in January 2018 to open the offshore areas of the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and Gulf coasts to offshore oil and natural gas drilling. That plan has met stiff opposition from political leaders and coastal communities that neighbor nearly all of the areas. "Today's bills are about a cleaner, more sustainable future for our country," House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) said in a statement. "We can create clean energy jobs and protect our coastlines at the same time with the right policy choices," he said. "The American people don't want oil rigs on every beach up and down our coasts, and our economy doesn't need them. Doubling down on offshore drilling would be a huge mistake, and we're proud to work together to make sure we take a better course." SOUTH CAROLINA JOINS LAWSUIT AGAINST TRUMP OFFSHORE DRILLING PLAN: South Carolina's attorney general became the first Republican to join a lawsuit against the Trump administration's offshore drilling plan Monday. Alan Wilson (R) joined nine other states seeking to block seismic testing and potential exploratory drilling off the East Coast. "Once again the federal government seeks to intrude upon the sovereignty of the state of South Carolina," Wilson said. "Such action puts our State's economy, tourism and beautiful natural resources at risk. We are bringing suit to protect the State's economy and the rule of law. "We understand the need to have a long-term, reliable energy supply. However, any comprehensive energy strategy must comply with the rule of law. While oil and gas exploration could bring in billions of dollars, doing it without adequate study and precautions could end up costing billions of dollars and cause irreversible damage to our economy and coast." According to the states and environmental groups filing the suit in South Carolina's district court, seismic testing for oil could harm marine life and in turn tourism. South Carolina joins Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Virginia in the lawsuit. EPA STAFFERS TO GET HALF A PAYCHECK: EPA head Andrew Wheeler announced to staff Tuesday that employees will be getting half for a normal pay period. The reason for the payout during the current shutdown stems from the fact that EPA was able to stay open a week longer than most other agencies due to remaining funds. "Understandably, many staff were concerned about the complete lack of another paycheck," Wheeler wrote. OIL LOBBY WORRIES ABOUT TRADE WAR: The nation's main oil lobbying group is growing increasingly concerned about the impacts to the industry from President Trump's ongoing trade war. Mike Sommers, the American Petroleum Institute's (API) president, said U.S. tariffs on steel and China's tariffs on liquefied natural gas (LNG) are among the top concerns of oil and gas companies. "We want this dispute to end quickly," Sommers told reporters Tuesday in advance of his "State of American Energy" speech, an annual event the oil industry group hosts in an attempt to set the energy policy agenda for the year. "We of course want to ensure that U.S. intellectual property is protected," Sommer said, nodding to one of Trump's main justifications for tariffs on China. "But at the same time, we have to do it in a way that doesn't affect American economic leadership, that is really driven by American energy leadership."

Although this may be temporary, it doesn’t change the fact people suffering from cabin fever for staying in one place for too long. To relieve the boredom, they can take up some hobbies to keep busy. So why not renovate the house? There are some fun ways to change the interior of the home. Putting a loft bed with a desk is an excellent way to make the room more fun. It can be used by adults and children whether playing or working. It can maximize the size of the bedroom. Whether to simply free up some floor space for games, create a study area, or provide additional storage, there's a loft bed for everyone. Loft beds are a very popular furniture item and can be a play area and office space. But with so many designs of loft beds available, choosing the right one can be challenging. **Here are some top insider tips to help you pick the perfect loft bed with a desk:** For safety reasons, standard loft beds are not suitable for children under the age of five or six years old. Find a junior loft bed for the young children. They are lower than standard loft beds. Thus, they are safer for the young ones. It also easier to put them into bed and tuck them in. Also, loft beds should be fun and match your child's favorite cartoons and interests. **Here are some tips in choosing a loft bed:** Active child - If the child is active, try finding a loft bed with plenty of space underneath so they can move around with wider floor space. Small bedroom - find a model with storage space and remove the bulky chest for more room to play. Booklover - get a model with built-in shelves. Too many toys/clutter - Tent models can tidy up a cluttered room in minutes and they are also ideal for imaginative play. Study space - Have a desk and chair built-in suited for their height with a combination loft bed. Even small children will enjoy drawing at their very own elder kids’ desk, it will inspire to learn more from a young age. **Selecting a Loft Bed for Older Children & Teenagers** Younger children are easier to please when it comes to loft beds with beds. With teenage children, it’s a whole other different ballgame. They have their own ideas on what they want in a loft bed setup and should be encouraged and consulted. Teenagers will not need a lower loft bed for safety reasons, but consider the room’s ceiling height once they get taller when sitting up. Mattress height is important. Make a clearance of Allow at least 33 inches between the mattress top and the ceiling. It's essential to match the loft bed style to the older child's likes, interests, and available space: Socializing – more likely, your teenager will invite friends for a sleepover, design a loft bed with an open space underneath with bean bags, cushions, or chairs. It makes it a cool hang-out area that truly suits their taste and makes choosing the loft bed design a lot easier in itself. Studying - If the studying area in the loft bedroom is too cramped for a desk and their books, shop for a combination loft bed complete with a desk, shelves, and drawers. It will keep their projects organized and help them focus their time more efficiently when getting their homework and revision done. Room Size – free up more space with a loft bed that has some storage bins for their overflowing wardrobe. Freeing up floor space will give the room a less cluttered look and lend more focus to the decor. **Features to Look for in a Loft Bed** Here are the features to look for and get the right model for your child: Ladder. Most loft beds come complete with a ladder. Check the ladder it is appropriate for your child's age. Younger children can easily climb with ladders that have wide, flat rungs, eliminating the likelihood of slipping. Staircase. Instead of a ladder, a staircase will give a more stable way to get into bed. It also provides additional storage as well. The steps can become drawers, shelves, or cupboards. It can even put a small desk under the staircase. Slide. They are fun with younger children and a great way to get out of bed in the morning. Make sure there is plenty of space for the slide on either side of the bed. Tent. Some loft beds have a fabric tent area under them. Great for playing, as well as looking nice and tidy for the room. Use a tent that goes with your child's likes or room them. You can choose from, such as castles or cottages, camouflage or underwater, or other themes available. Desk. A desk is not just for school work, it can be used to bring out your child's creativity. Drawing, jigsaw puzzles, even a place to use their laptop or tablet, a desk is a multi-purpose must-have. Storage. Drawers, shelves, cupboards -- loft beds are an excellent place to have more bedroom storage space. A loft bed with drawers and cupboards is a great way to a more harmonious room with a better-organized storage system. **Loft Bed Safety Guidelines** When shopping for a loft bed, check if it meets the children's furniture safety standards, developed by ASTM International (ASTM). They should have at least two guardrails on the upper bunk on each side to prevent falling down. On the side opposite the ladder, guardrails must follow from one end of the bed to the other, or have a clearance of fewer than 0.22 inches. The guardrail gap for ladder access must not be greater than 15 inches in width. Guardrails must have firmer fastenings. The top of each set of guardrails must be at least 5 inches above the mattress top. There must not be sufficient space for a child to get trapped between rails either at the edge, head, or foot of the bed once the mattress is in place. Loft beds should not have any sharp edges.

Technics SL-PG450 CD Players User Reviews (3) Showing 1-3 of 3 The Pinhead AudioPhile [Aug 21, 2016] The almost perfect bang-for-the-buck back deck in '93. I bought it new and has been my cd player ever since. Never needed repair or calibration ever. Yes there were more desirable players like the stable-platter Pioneer, but the cost rose exponentially, and to say the truth, all the advances in DACs and sampling rates were but experiments back then so all players sounded the same, differing only in features. This puppy had a lot of features; you could program tracks to play in any given order or combination of selections, automatically pause at the beginning of each track, display song/album duration -partial or total- in four different manners and control the volume of the outcoming signal in 2 db increments (other brands had 1 db increments, which doubled as total volume control for the whole system) With most of my almost-all vintage stereo components, I never felt the need to upgrade. I play lots of vinyl and concert dvds these days, reducing cd playing to an average of 4 a month, which may explain this device's extraordinary lifespan. THE one thing I could not stand is it didn't have any anti-vibration built-in system, so it would skip when played loud (later solved by 4 gel feet) Every record store in town had one of these playin g from dusk to dawn, and ownwers changed it every 2 years !! It had a lot of functions that would sync it to a Technics cassette deck for recording, which seemed very hi-tech at the time. The day I listened to my first cd I disconnected my 2 cassette decks and sold them together with all the tapes. Not worth buying it used since most units should be malfunctioning or about to die by now unless it has had very little use like mine, and I ain't sellin' !! Nowadays you can't buy any decent dedicated cd player for less than U$ 350 in the states. This thing retailed for like half that figure back then. People are just playing their cds on their dvd players these days. I'd really rather have a standalone unit since I don't use flac, mp3 or anything like that. ALMOST PERFECT and I still love and pamper it. OVERALLRATING 5 ★★★★★ ★★★★★ VALUERATING 5 ★★★★★ ★★★★★ The Pinhead AudioPhile [Aug 21, 2016] The almost perfect bang-for-the-buck back deck in '93.

OVERALLRATING 5 ★★★★★ ★★★★★ VALUERATING 5 ★★★★★ ★★★★★ bora1 Audio Enthusiast [Jan 11, 2003] Strength: Durable, stable, good set of features, very silent mechanics. Weakness: No digital outpur, some features only available with the remote. I have this unit for more than 10 years now, never once opened the cover, never cleaned the lens etc. It still works perfectly. Changed 3 amps, 4 sets of speakers, etc. etc. but PG440 still works. The only missing thing is it hasn't got a digital output but I believe that is quite normal for its age.

OVERALLRATING 4 ★★★★★ ★★★★★ VALUERATING 4 ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Jonathan an Audiophile [Jan 07, 1998] I have a Technics SL-PG440 (recently renamed the SL-PG450 with a smallerremote). It is a single disc unit with 32 times oversampling, a 12 db level control on the remote,index keys for the first 10 tracks, a time fade, a programmable synchro link for dubbing, auto cue, peak search, and of course skip and search buttons. The peak search allows you to find ~the loudest spot on the cd you are dubbing in order to set your record level lower than the peak of the tape deck. Unit is very durable except the rca jacks in back tend to wear out,but if your are mechanically inclined you can solder them better than the original connection and they won't come loose again. The unit is very hard (i.e. pick it up about an inch high and drop it if you want it to skip)It has a duralbe/quiet loading tray and has never scrathed one of my CD's. I recommend this unit for permanent hookups such as churches radio stations, hi-fi home stereos, or high quality dubbing needs. My rating is four starsbecause the rca output jacks should be more durable.

Nate Silver is the crazy kid who invented PECOTA for Baseball Prospectus and now he's made good in the political prediction world! Can I get a "Woop woop?" Baseball fans? Anybody? Well look, Baseball Prospectus is like The Bible to stat geeks, and PECOTA is like a particularly important passage in that Bible (John 3:16, for example), so the fact that this 30-year-old guy who made it up is suddenly the hottest thing in political polling is unlikely and heartwarming to sports fans and political obsessives alike, to say the least! Nate Silver started writing about how wrong polls were in a little Daily Kos diary, and lo and behold, he ended up predicting the primaries better than anyone! Then all the pros were like, who is this kid? When he revealed himself as a Baseball Prospectus writer, a very thin slice of stat geeks were all like, "ZOMG unbelievably awesome!" Imagine if you found out that Richard Lawson had been selected as the new announcer on Monday Night Football. That's the level of thing that I'm talking about here, people. So of course New York did a big story on this kid, what with his acceptable level of quirk. He's basically the smartest pollster in America now, amazingly. And we'll cut through all the technical mumbo-jumbo and give it to you straight: As of October 8, the day after the town-hall debate, Silver's simulations had Obama winning the election 90 percent of the time.

Yesterday, in the midst of a lengthy, meticulous, and blistering rundown of the dangers of a Donald Trump presidency, presidential contender Hillary Clinton offered up this chilling hypothetical: ?” This strategy – of underscoring the fundamental danger of placing our nuclear codes near the short fingers of a petty, ill-tempered, egomaniacal ignoramus – isn’t exclusive to Clinton; it’s been in circulation for a while, and it may have the best chance of sticking of any anti-Trump narrative. But it’s also hard to get a real snapshot of someone’s character (or, in Trump’s case, lack thereof) when they’re in campaign mode, where statements are made and positions are changed in the interest of influencing voters, blurring the crystal ball that predicts behavior once in office. That’s why we have to talk about Trump before the campaign. That’s why we have to talk about the Central Park Five. The notorious case of the Central Park jogger and the five men imprisoned for her rape is best told in Sarah Burns’ book The Central Park Five , and the film of the same name she made with father Ken and David McMahon (it’s streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime); if you haven’t seen it, just go do that. In a nutshell: on the night of April 19, 1989, a young woman named Trisha Ellen Meili was assaulted, raped, and left for dead during a jog through Central Park in the midst of what contemporary media reports described as a series of crimes by a loose gang of black and Hispanic teens. Five of them – Korey Wise (16 years old), Yusef Salaam, Antron McCray (both 15), Raymond Santana, and Kevin Richardson (both 14) – were charged various crimes related to the attack, including attempted murder, rape, assault, and robbery, based on their own confessions. But before they could go to trial (less than two weeks after the attack, in fact), Mr. Trump spent $85,000 to run this full-page ad in all four of the New York City dailies: In it, he urged the city’s powers-that-be to quit “pandering to the criminal population,” and to “bring back the death penalty” against “roving bands of wild criminals.” He didn’t specifically mention the Central Park Five, but the inference was impossible to misplace. “I want to hate these muggers and murderers,” he wrote. “They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, should be executed for their crimes.” (Reagan’s onetime White House Director of Communications and professional racist Pat Buchanan went full lynch mob, supposing in the New York Post that if “the eldest of that wolf pack were tried, convicted and hanged in Central Park, by June 1, and the 13- and 14-year-olds were stripped, horsewhipped, and sent to prison, the park might soon be safe again for women.”) Unlike much of Trump’s rhetoric, this is a policy position that has not shifted since the 1990s; as The Atlantic’s Matt Ford notes, back in December Trump promised, .” The problem with Trump’s condemnation of the five young men eventually convicted for Meili’s rape was simple: they didn’t do it. They had long claimed their confessions, wildly inconsistent and given under duress, were coerced. But in 2002, one Matias Reyes – already serving time for other rapes and murders – came forward to confess to committing the crime, alone. His DNA matched semen found at the scene; none of the men who had by this time served sentences from five to 15 years were a match. The convictions of the Central Park Five were vacated, and several of the men sued the city of New York for malicious prosecution, racial discrimination, and emotional distress. In 2014, after more than a decade, the city settled for $41 million. Most people, being reasonable, rational, thoughtful, or ashamed of their own call for the execution of minors, might rethink their previous statements, apologize for them, or, at the very least, shut the fuck up. Donald Trump is not most people; he doubled down. When challenged about the case on Twitter in 2013, he replied: And after the announcement of the 2014 settlement, Trump penned an op-ed in the New York Daily News (which helpfully ran it next to a reproduction of his original “bring back the death penalty” ad). “The justice system has a lot to answer for, as does the City of New York regarding this very mishandled disaster,” he wrote, which is true! Oh, wait, he’s talking about the settlement, not the indictment, conviction, and imprisonment of five young men who committed no crime. (And while the Central Park Five, who were deemed the only possible suspects by the NYPD on the night in question, were being investigated, tried, and convicted, Reyes attacked at least five more women before his arrest that August.) “Speak to the detectives on the case and try listening to the facts,” Trump continued. “These young men do not exactly have the pasts of angels.” And he’s right; when they were 13, they had so many behavioral problems that their fathers had to ship them off to military school. Oh wait, sorry, no, that was Donald Trump. “At 14 years old, one doesn’t have much of a past to speak of,” noted The New Yorker’s Amy Davidson. “What one might have is a future.” Of course, Trump wasn’t actually commenting on the limited “pasts” of these young men; he was merely sounding the reliable “no angel” dog whistle, trotted out every time a young black man (Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, etc.) is murdered or imprisoned, to assure racists that, guilty or not, they got what they had coming.. More than a decade later, when those people’s guilt was disproven by both a confession and DNA match, Mr. Trump was not willing to revise his opinion, admit he’d made a mistake, or learn from it. That’s what “weak” people do; Donald Trump doesn’t make mistakes. And even if he knows he has, his Nebuchadnezzar-level pride won’t allow him to admit it. Contrast this with Clinton’s Achilles heel (which Bernie Sanders eagerly raised, again, after her Trump takedown): her 2002 Senate vote to authorize military action in Iraq, which she defended, for a time, before owning up to her error. “I thought I had acted in good faith and made the best decision I could with the information I had,” she wrote in her 2014 memoir Hard Choices. “And I wasn’t alone in getting it wrong. But I still got it wrong. Plain and simple.” Imagine Donald Trump saying – or more likely tweeting – those words. Came up dry, huh? Yet that’s among the most elemental requirements of the job he’s applying for: making informed decisions, based on facts and data and (god forbid) one’s own curiosity, and being open to revision based on new information. In other words, the dialectic opposite of Donald Trump, 69-year-old man-child, shit-talker, narcissist, and know-nothing. “This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes,” Clinton noted, “because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.” And she’s right. It’s horrifyingly easy. UPDATE 10/7/16: In a statement to CNN this week, Trump reiterated his belief in the guilt of the Central Park Five. “They admitted they were guilty. The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty. The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous. And the woman, so badly injured, will never be the same.”

Probably one of the most leaked smartphones in history is the Pixel 4 at this point. Over the past few months, the device has leaked literally dozens of times, and today we get another look at the device in a hands-on detailing Google Assistant’s next-gen Pixel 4 and much more. NextRift, the same blog that earlier this week brought us a Pixel 4 hands-on, delivered a follow-up post that spends a little more time talking about the software. The biggest highlight here is the new on-board Google Assistant. We can see the redesigned UI of the Assistant in the image above. There is no video showing off the functionality, but the publication says that processing information is “noticeably quicker” and that Continued Conversation is enabled–meaning you don’t need to issue a new “Hey Google” command. None of this really comes as a surprise as it is exactly what Google revealed at I / O. Google’s next-gen assistant is one of the features that we look forward to seeing most on the Pixel 4. In addition, in this hands-on, we get a closer look at Ambient EQ. Although not as exciting as the new Google Assistant, for many, Ambient EQ will be a handy Pixel 4 feature as it will adjust the display to suit your surroundings just like the Nest Hub or iPhone. NextRift explains that based on the surrounding lighting, the shift from warmer to cooler tones is noticeable. This set of hands-on images also takes a close look at the different disclaimers included with Face Unlock by Google. We’ve seen these a couple of times before, but in plain English this is one of the best looks. Google’s mention of “someone who looks a lot like you” being able to unlock the device has raised some security concerns by some, but we think this disclaimer is more cautious than a real problem. This hands-on also looks at a few lesser-covered tidbits about the device beyond those notes. Confirmation is given that Active Edge is still on the Pixel 4 and still triggers Google Assistant, as well as explicit evidence that no expandable storage is available. Also, a quick selfie test compares Galaxy S10 + results with sharper images, more true-to-life colors, and a more accurate portrait mode. We can also see the pixel’s wider field of view. There is also a comparison of sizes that places the Pixel 4 XL next to the Pixel 3a XL and Galaxy S10 +. In this context, on the Pixel vs. the Galaxy S10+, the 4 XL is basically the same overall footprint with slightly less screen. Notably, on the Pixel 4 XL, the bezel size is nearly identical to the 3a XL, which is not bad.

Q: SELECT statement not using possible_keys I have a table from a legacy system which does not have a primary key. It records transactional data for issuing materials in a factory. For simplicities sake, lets say each row contains job_number, part_number, quantity & date_issued. I added an index to the date issued column. When I run an EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM issued_parts WHERE date_issued > '20100101', it shows this: +----+-------------+----------------+------+-------------------+------+---------+------+---------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+----------------+------+-------------------+------+---------+------+---------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | issued_parts | ALL | date_issued_alloc | NULL | NULL | NULL | 9724620 | Using where | +----+-------------+----------------+------+-------------------+------+---------+------+---------+-------------+ So it sees the key, but it doesn't use it? Can someone explain why? A: Something tells me the MySQL Query Optimizer decided correctly. Here is how you can tell. Run these: Count of Rows SELECT COUNT(1) FROM issued_parts; Count of Rows Matching Your Query SELECT COUNT(1) FROM issued_parts WHERE date_issued > '20100101'; If the number of rows you are actually retrieving exceeds 5% of the table's total number, the MySQL Query Optimizer decides it would be less effort to do a full table scan. Now, if your query was more exact, for example, with this: SELECT * FROM issued_parts WHERE date_issued = '20100101'; then, you will get a different EXPLAIN plan altogether.

Q: Regex character class inside character range failing intellij's jsLint inspection What is the easiest way to rectify my failing inspection? There is no option in intellij (that I can find) to allow character classes inside a character range. A: If you want to allow a literal hyphen - in a character class, you need to put it immediately after the opening [ (Refer "Character Classes" section at http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html) or immediately prior to the closing ] (I've found works in some languages at least), else it's deemed to signify a range. And note also this comment by @IanMackinnon on this SO question (although I couldn't find an authoritative source for this after a very brief search): "explicitly escaping hyphens in character classes is another JSLint recommendation." - this was written in the context of literal hyphens. Regardless of if jsLint needs this or not to pass inspection, it's probably good practice to do this in order to future-proof the literal hyphen in case a future developer accidentally turns the class into a range by putting something between the (un-escaped) hyphen and the opening (or closing) bracket. I therefore think the section of your regex that currently reads as [\w-+\s] should be re-written as [\-\w+\s]). And the subsequent [\w-+] as [\-\w+], etc...

The food trucks are taking over Hopkins! As if Kooper’s Chowhound Wagon wasn’t enough, Creperie Breizh is now parking around 34th street, every Wednesday from 10 am-2:30 pm. Why the sudden ambush of food trucks to my campus? Honestly, I think it’s a brilliant marketing strategy – giving college kids new and exciting food options, such as gourmet burgers and authentic French crepes. Creperie Breizh’s dark blue truck posts its menu and daily specials next to the order window – on my visit, I ordered a traditional Ham and Cheese crepe filled with Swiss and spinach leaves. My friend Kit ordered a crepe filled with pesto, tomatoes and cheese. I have to say this might be the best crepe I’ve had in Baltimore. Compared to Sofi’s Crepes, Creperie Breizh’s contained simpler, more traditional fillings. The flavors were less complex and more palette pleasing, in my opinion – yes, the BBQ chicken and cheese crepe at Sofi’s is delicious, but it leaves me feeling pretty nauseous afterwards. The Swiss taste was mild, but flavorful, melting through the thick slices of ham and spinach leaves inside the crepe. The bite I had of Kit’s crepe was pesteoy paradise. In addition to savory crepes, the truck also offers sweet crepes, such as Nutella, and raspberry and white chocolate. Later that day, I heard word that Icedgems, a cupcake truck, had made an appearance on Wyman Park drive and in front of Eisenhower Library. Talk about sensory overload! That’s THREE food trucks on Hopkins territory over a period of three days. I think I’m in Heaven.

Gig work is great, if you can handle being your own boss. The exact nature of the work is secondary. To make it, independent contractors of all stripes have to be organized, hit deadlines, and bring your “A” game to every job, regardless of how big or little. A lot of gig work is done remotely, so having strong communication skills is a must, as is being flexible and working well with others. Freelancers work with little to no supervision, so you have to be self-disciplined and efficient or you’ll be working 24/7. A lot of gig work is solitary, so you have to be comfortable working solo, no small feat if you’re used to the social atmosphere of an office, school or store. You also have to do your own marketing, bookkeeping, tech support and collections, in case you have to chase down late-paying clients. It boils down to having an entrepreneurial spirit, said Shoshana Deutschkron, vice president of communications at Upwork, the online freelance marketplace. Gig workers have to be internally driven, Deutschkron said. “People at companies can lean back and be led, whereas as a freelancer, you have to be a leader for yourself. You have to have the fortitude so when there are challenges - and there will always be ups and downs in business - you can manage through them effectively,” she said. Market Yourself Online As a gig worker, an online presence is your chief calling card. Dara Feldman, marketing director at Trackforce, a San Diego security operations software company, has used gig workers for SEO advertising, data mining and competitor research. She searches online freelance marketplaces such as Upwork to find people who come highly rated and have comprehensive portfolios. Feldman estimates she’s worked with 10 freelancers since 2015. Though she prefers veteran gig workers because they are more likely to have numerous positive reviews, she is open to using people who are just beginning gig work. She suggests newcomers load up their freelance website profiles with details about past projects and clients. “If you’re too general, it’s hard for someone to know what makes you stand out,” she said. Just as people who go to in-person interviews take care to look their best, gig workers should make sure their online profiles shine, including checking spelling and grammar, Feldman said. “It’s like being on time for the interview. You get a sense of that person,” she said. Do Good Work and Be a Team Player Companies want gig workers who can deliver. As more organizations have employees who work from home or coworking spaces, bringing on a gig worker who works remotely isn’t a big deal - as long as they keep clients informed of their progress, said Peter Swankier, founder and chief executive at Nimble Software Systems in Carlsbad. Making deadlines is another must, said Swankier, who estimates he’s hired 60 to 100 freelancers over the years, including content writers and web developers. If you’re given a job and have until the end of the week to do it, “make the commitment to get it done on time and produce good quality work,” he said. “If you do those two things, we’ll usually hire you again.” Don’t Discount How Hard It Is To Work Alone Gig work can be tough if you thrive on being around other people. Extroverts can schedule lunches and meetups to see people if it helps, said Marion McGovern, a management consultant and author of the new book, “Thriving in the Gig Economy.” “But your motivation, inspiration and perseverance has to be internal,” McGovern said. “If it’s not part of your mettle, that’s a challenge.” Another aspect of gig work that people might not think about before taking the plunge is how often they may get passed over for projects they bid on. Whether you’re a freelance writer, translator or CPA, hearing “Sorry, we went in a different direction” is a fact of gig life. “There’s a lot of rejection,” McGovern said. On the flip side, novice gig workers need to learn that all projects aren’t worth taking. Learning to say no isn’t easy, McGovern said. “Many of us grew up in organizations where the boss said ‘Do this,’ and because you’re a good employee you did it,” she said. But if a client stretches the parameters of a project beyond what was originally agreed on, you have to speak up or risk losing money. “For a rookie, even if they have 25 years of experience, that’s a really hard thing to do,” McGovern said. Have a Plan and Set Goals Freelancing means setting aside time from work that brings in income to do marketing, billing and chasing payments, goal-setting, and other administrative duties. As the gig economy has grown, it’s created a cottage industry of services that freelancers can use to make it easier to manage their business, including time-tracking software, invoicing apps and virtual assistants. If you really can’t stand working alone, companies like WeWork offer coworking spaces in cities around the country, including San Diego. If you’re just starting out, it helps to have a plan. McGovern suggests mapping out how long you think it will take to pick up your first clients and what revenue you can hope for. “Give yourself a pilot,” she said. “Decide if you can give it a shot for six months or a year and if you don’t reach your milestones you can go back and try regular work.” Online platforms that have helped the gig economy flourish have made it easier for people of all ages, experience levels, abilities and income levels to work for themselves, whether it’s driving for Uber or designing websites for startups. While you wait for clients for your primary gig job to pour in, you can take other kinds of gig jobs to pay the bills. “There’s less risk than there used to be,”.

This week really means that we are only three letters away from completing the entire alphabet!! Whoo-hoo! I can’t believe we have come this far, and so I wanted to make it extra fun for her this week and just spend as much quality time together as possible! If you know Brielle right now, you would know that she likes to call everyone a walrus (thanks Mom and Mike!) and when thinking of what example I should start with for the week, of course this one was the first one that popped into my head! I am not sure what Brielle’s fascination about them are, I just know she gets REALLY excited any time she sees one in a picture/video/or in any of her books. When I told her “W is for Walrus”, she immediately found a picture in one of her alphabet books, opened it up, and said “Momma I have to call Papa and show him that W is for Walrus” (precious!). She definitely took to that one well and even last night on our walk I trying to get her to name things that she knew that started with a W and she goes “walrus, wheel, walrus” lol! W is for Wagon was my second example, even though I don’t have one physically to show her, she has seen them and does know what they are. It was a cute example and she loved to draw pictures, and point out every single wagon she saw in all of her books when we would do story time! I think wagon’s are not used around my little town much because first off, most neighborhoods/streets don’t have a side walk that completely connects through an entire street so you end up walking in the gravel most of the time (which is definitely not the ideal pavement one would want to push a wagon on). She caught on to this example and even in my poor attempts to draw a wagon and would tell her to guess what I drew for her, she would “w for wagon!” It was funny that she even knew what it was, because let’s just say, art was never my strong suit in school. One of the last main objects that I was showing her that starts with a W is a watch! She knows that I always have one on, and so she of course would want to wear it and would walk around the house going “look Momma, W is for my watch” it was so cute and I had a little but of a hard time getting my watch back! 🙂 It’s funny because she even knows the difference between my “work watch” and my “going out watch” and definitely let’s me know how pretty and adorable my going out watch is, haha! Sometimes the funniest things come out of her mouth, but in all actuality that is pretty smart to be able to tell that there is a difference in occasion for the use of the watch I choose to wear, which is pretty cool! Along with those three words we also read books, practiced tracing, we signed the letter W which looked like the number three to Brielle and she couldn’t quite get her fingers to do what her mind was tell her to do, we sang songs for ex. “wheels on the bus”, colored pictures, played games on her little computer and used her little alphabet book from her birthday party, which she LOVES. It was a fun week overall, and I will leave you with a few pictures of what we did to learn the letter W! 🙂

. Our problem is that we lost interest in them because since they resisted to follow the upgrade path they stopped generating revenue. We did a stint to fix Y2K, and after that nothing... They obviously also lost interest in us... The new management is all formed of old DFD dogs so the sympathy for this part of our heritage is now strong. As part of our new-found strategy of inclusion, we have already developed and will soon launch a new version of DataEase for Windows 6, called LegEasy 6 Windows. Obviously a name that no-one will ever use, as it will forever be known as 6.53. But what we will really want to do is something that we believe should have been done many, many years ago - to publish a proper Windows version of DataEase for DOS. A lot of people love the efficiency of a character based system so why should we stop them from using it? All the LegEasy versions are simply new versions of Legacy versions of DataEase where the focus is on compatibility, when at the same time the environment will be fully contemporary running flawlessly in Windows 7 and soon 8. We also focus on making them look contemporary which to be honest has been a big drawback in both 6.52 and DFD. Our problem is that we can only make a new version of this esteemed old product if there is a real demand for it. We think and believe there is, but we need to get it confirmed.

VALDOSTA — Thousands (and you can double that if you include dogs) turned out for the Valdosta-Lowndes Azalea Festival on Saturday at Drexel Park. The 12th annual festival kicked off in the wee hours of the morning with a 5K road race and one-mile fun walk/run. While the morning’s weather was windy and cool, the temperature rose to a low 70 degrees, which concocted the perfect environment for an outdoor day of fun. Andy Stone was out enjoying the festivities with his three-year-old son Henry. Henry is a seasoned festival attendee and was certain not to let his balloon get in the way of petting a horse on display. “This is his third festival,” said Stone. “Fourth if you count in uteri.” Not all festival-goers were as experienced as Henry. Lynn Adams, a teacher of speech and language pathology at Valdosta State University, was out enjoying her first Azalea experience with her Great Dane, Gypsy. “I just moved here from Savannah,” said Adams. “This is wonderful, I’ve never taken (Gypsy) to a crowded event before; my friend told me this event was dog-friendly.” Gypsy, a rescue, became an attraction herself as adults and children alike lined up to pet her a receive Great Dane-sized kisses. “She’s loving all the attention,” said Adams. New features for this year’s festival, such as a live tiger named Tawny and a rainbow lorikeet named Charlie from the Tiger Stripes Sanctuary, were a huge hit. However, even Tawny the tiger couldn’t compete with the Disconnected K9’s World Famous Frisbee Dogs. Not only could some of the dogs jump more that 15 feet in the air, they also managed to draw what looked liked every attendee in the park around their arena. Entertainers such as juggler Joel Williams, Suzy Sonshine the clown and a very much alive silver, drum playing statue roamed (with the exception of the statue) Drexel Park, spreading joy to all who encountered them. There was even a mechanical bull that only the bravest attendees dared to ride. Lucky for 12-year-old Mary Peeples, she had the courage and the boots to get the job done. “I wanted to ride a bull,” said Peeples with an explanation of a true go-getter. However, having that much fun on an empty stomach can be daunting. Luckily there was various food vendors at every corner including huge pieces of cooked corn, chicken on a stick and even flavored, kettle cooked popcorn. “This is our fourth year here,” said Ann Singletary with Cast Iron Kettle Corn. The energy for Saturday was great, but the party isn’t over yet. The festival will continue from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today at Drexel Park on the corner of Patterson and Brookwood. For gear heads, if arts and crafts doesn’t get your motor going, then maybe a classic car show will. Registration is from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., judging begins at 1 p.m. and trophies will be awarded at 2 p.m. Free parking is offered on all VSU lots.
