On the Stability of the Telegraph Equation with Time Delay . Inthisstudy, theinitialvalueproblemfortelegraphequationswithtimedelayinaHilbertspaceis considered. The main theorem on stability estimates for the solution of this problem is established. As a test problem, one-dimensional delay telegraph equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition is considered. Numerical solutions of this problem are obtained by first and second order of accuracy di ff erence schemes. Introduction In many fields of the contemporary science and technology, systems with delaying terms appear. The dynamical processes are described by systems of delay ordinary and partial differential equations. The delay appears in complicated systems with logical and computing devices, where certain time for information processing is needed. The second order delay differential equation with damping term is of interest in biology in explaining self-balancing of the human body and in robotics in constructing biped robots (see, [1]). These are illustrations of inverted pendulum problems. The theory of linear delay differential equations has been studied extensively by many researchers (see, [2]- [12] and the references given therein). Telegraph equation is mostly interested in physical systems. Many physicists and engineers use telegraph equation without time delay (see, [13]- [17]), and also telegraph equation is studied by using classical energy methods and operator theory(see, [18]). For example, Ashyralyev and Modanli (see, [19]- [21]) studied the stability of Cauchy problem for telegraph differential and difference equations in a Hilbert space. For several reasons, in problems encountered in real life, time delay should be considered in modeling. However, the stability theory of problems for a delay telegraph equation is not well-investigated. A few researchers are interested in these kinds of problems. Feireisl (see, [22]) proved the existence of small global (in time) solutions to an abstract evolution equation containing a damping term and applied the result to fully nonlinear telegraph equations and to nonlinear equations involving operators with time delay. In the present paper, we study the initial value problem for the telegraph differential equation with time delay in a Hilbert space H with a self-adjoint positive definite operator A, A ≥ δI, ϕ and ψ are elements of D(A) and [t] denotes the greatest-integer function. Here δ > α 2 4 . A function v(t) is called a solution of problem (1), if the following conditions are satisfied: ii. The element v(t) belongs to D(A) for all t ∈ [0, ∞), and the function Av(t) is continuous on the interval [0, ∞). iii. v(t) satisfies the equation and initial conditions in (1). The main theorem on stability estimates for the solution of problem (1) is established. In applications, as a test problem, one-dimensional delay telegraph equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition is considered. Numerical solutions of this problem are obtained by first and second order of accuracy difference schemes. The Main Theorem on the Stability It is easy to show that for δ > α 2 4 , the operator B = A − α 2 4 I be a self-adjoint positive definite operator in a Hilbert space H with B ≥ (δ − α 2 4 )I. Throughout this paper, c(t) and s(t) are operator-functions defined by formulas Let us give lemma that will be needed below. Lemma 2.1. For t ≥ 0, the following estimates hold: The proof of Lemma 2.1 is based on the spectral representation of unit self-adjoint positive definite operator B in a Hilbert space H (see, [12]). Numerical Results We consider the initial-boundary value problem for the delay telegraph differential equation. The exact solution of problem (10) is Using the first order of accuracy difference scheme for the approximate solution of problem (10), we get the following system of equations We can rewrite system (12) in the matrix form where A, B, C are (M + 1) × (M + 1) matrices defined by . Here a = − 1 and R is the (M + 1) × (M + 1) identity matrix, and ϕ(U k−N ) ,U s are (M + 1) × 1 column vectors as Hence, we have a second order difference equation with respect to k matrix coefficients. From (13) it follows that Second, using the second order of accuracy difference scheme for the approximate solution of problem (10), we obtain the following system of equations We can rewrite system (15) in the matrix form where A, B, C are (M + 1) × (M + 1) matrices defined by Hence, we have a second order difference equation with respect to k matrix coefficients. Applying (16), we can obtain the solution of this difference scheme. We find the numerical solutions for different values of N and M. For N = M = 40, 80, 160 in t ∈ [0, 1], t ∈ [1, 2], t ∈ [2, 3], the errors are given respectively in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3. Thus, by using the second order of accuracy difference scheme, the accuracy of solution increases faster than the first order of accuracy difference scheme. While the error decreases in half by using the first order of accuracy difference scheme, it decreases quarter by using the second order of accuracy difference scheme. The error is computed by the following formula Here, u k n represents the numerical solutions of these difference schemes at (t k , x n ). (15) in t ∈ [2,3] 0.0000123 0.0000027 0.0000004 Conclusion In this paper, we studied the initial value problem for telegraph equations with time delay in a Hilbert space. Theorem on stability estimates for the solution of this problem is established. As a test problem, onedimensional delay telegraph equation with the Dirichlet boundary conditions is considered. Numerical solutions of this problem are obtained by first and second order of accuracy difference schemes. Some of these statements were formulated in [23] without proof. Applying this approach and method of [9], we can study the initial value problem for the telegraph differential equation with time delay Acknowledgement We are grateful to TUBITAK Graduate Scholarship Programme for supporting Koray Turk.

Preparation of the work on smartfish project. FAO updated the data access and sharing policy document Work on validation continued. V2 of the data access and sharing document was released. annotation and indexing expanded to aquaculture publication. The 1st version of TLO (Top Level Ontology) has been presented during the 3rd TCOM. Moreover a dedicated meeting has been organized to discuss further details of it (discussion about TLO usability, use cases). TLO will enable us to develop services for common access (and substitute replication policies that are followed so far i.e. importing descriptions from WORMS to Ecoscope knowledge base). The next step (that has already been started) is to modify appropriately the current version of TLO, for the needs of factsheets generator. If the complexity of the mappings (between existing knowledge bases and TLO) is high, then as a corrective action TLO will be adjusted closer to the existing models to allow an early demonstration of it.

Step 1: Lay a blank sheet of paper on the ground and let the four feet of the dog stand on the white paper. Step 2: Draw a circle around the dog's first foot with a pen. Please pay attention to the back of the dog's foot when drawing the circle around the dog's foot. When the toe bag is used, press its foot to let the bag draw the outer edge of the bag. After drawing, use the ruler to measure the longest diameter of the dog's footprint. How long is the square, and how wide is the widest? All four feet must be measured. Step 3: When determining the size of the dogs feet, please choose the longest length and the widest width. Step 4: The length and width of the selected dogs shoes should not be less than the length and width of the dog's feet. It must be longer and wider by at least 0.5 cm than the dogs foot size.

You feel old? :) I had a couple of 8 inch floppy drives. I wish I kept those drives. lots of good aluminum. When I took a programming class in Highschool we were using punchcards. Our programs (stack of cards) would be bundled together and run overnight. We would get the results the next morning, a printout from the line printer. I never developed an interest in programming until a later college course. It was a microprocessor course. My final project was to design a floppy disk controller to connect a Z80 computer (S100 bus). Write the driver software and read the message on the 8" floppy disk. "Congratulations Rudy"

Nothing about this suggests they're altering the format permanently. It is a cheap cash grab on BN's part, given, but it probably won't last past the 2nd Anniversary celebration. By that logic, though, you should have quit when the free ticket banner came around a couple months ago. Paying players got significantly more free pulls off of that banner, and likely were put much further ahead in their box than an f2p player could have been. Which leads to another point- this game is not p2w. This game is more like a wait wall. Eventually you'll get more free stones and eventually you'll pull better units if you're patient enough. Since there is no direct head to head pvp, there's no p2w, just pay to be impatient.

Dance group Beat Brothers tap dance on this week's Britain's Got Talent We do love a good dance group on Britain’s Got Talent – who doesn’t?! So when we heard that there were 5 good-looking boys auditioning to dance, we went straight to our sofas to take our seats. The group, aged 19-23, consist of John, Jo, Stuart, Billy and Matt, are not like most other dance troops you usually see on Britain’s Got Talent. As they step onto the stage and tell the judges: ‘We’re here to tap for you today!’, Amanda doesn’t hold her excitement as she shouts ‘YES!’ and throws her arms up in the air. The boys all work a variety of different jobs, including a bar man and a topless promoter. Oo-er. Unsuprisingly, that last job was met by a wave of ‘wooos’ from the audience, and David Walliams is a little bit intrigued. ‘So, what club will you be at on Saturday night?’ he asks while pretending to jot down notes. Oh David, you. The music starts, the tapping begins, and both the audience and the judges seem to love it! Good-looking boys dressed in suits, dancing – what’s not to love? AND there are glitter podiums. We’re not the only ones who think they’re easy on the eye as Amanda Holden says: ‘Five good-looking boys. I thought it was brilliantly entertaining.’ Opposed to the usual dance groups on Britain’s Got Talent, who often do street dance, David Walliams finds it refreshing to see something different. ‘It’s great. It’s something I don’t think we’ve had on this show. Think you’ve got a lot of appeal guys,’ he says. Despite singing the boys’ praises, David still wasn’t too sure about whether to pop the group through or not. He stalls: ‘I’m 50/50. I really need to see the top off…’ We see what you did there David. Cheekyyy. * Watch Britain’s Got Talent tonight on ITV1 at 8pm Whoa!

I know that inside that head of yours lies a desire to have more disposable income. Lovely money that you can do exactly what you like with.. (Mmm I have a picture of me diving into a pool of cash….OK maybe that’s more of a dream sequence but hey why not…) Interestingly though I want you to stop for a second to double check what happens to you when I say significant disposable income can be all yours…. That’s right STOP BREATHE SIT and really feel what is going on for you. All too often what accompanies a statement like this is a churning in the stomach, a heaviness in the shoulders, or a fleeting ache in the head….as you contemplate why for you it would be not be possible, and just too damn hard, and in preference you better trot off down to the corner shop to pick up your euro-millions ticket. If this is the way that statement makes you feel I have news for you. You are not alone. BUT there is a way UP. That you have control of. - Firstly tune into these feelings, and the accompanying thoughts. Really let yourself feel them. - Then imagine them all squashed into one of those stress balls. - Imagine you are holding it in your hand - and then just let it go….. When we feel negative or stress about something then its our bodies and mind’s way of telling us that something else, something better is trying to make itself known. BUT whilst we hold onto the negative thoughts and feelings we are too occupied to let ourselves find out what that might be. …..And to be honest it can be downright scary to step into our greatness and not have the ball to hold onto. SO be BRAVE let the ball go and be curious about what the positive is that is trying to make itself known. What do you need to feel, to think, to do in order that significant disposable income can come your way. Wanting a deeper dive?

I feel like if you're having to put in weekends then the company isn't doing something right with respect to training or the tasks you're assigned. Without knowing the kind of problems he got stuck on, it's tough to say if he should have been fired. IMO the huge bar for juniors is their willingness to ask for help. We had one person I thought would get fired because she had a ticket drag on for 2 sprints while saying it was fine. Turns out she was having issues running the project locally and understanding the code, some of which is a decade old at this point. I got better at proactively asking her if she needed help, we gave her a more "modern" problem and for the most part she's been fine. I did try to get a guy fired once because he refused to put work in and kept asking the same questions. He also kept lying about completing his assigned training.

Alcoa Corp., Pittsburgh, agreed to purchase a group annuity contract to transfer $55 million in pension plan assets to an insurance company. The agreement, signed this month, transfers the benefit-paying responsibility for about 800 retirees and former employees in one of the company’s pension plans in Suriname, the aluminum company disclosed in its 10-Q filing with the SEC. The transfer also moves $55 million in pension plan liabilities to the undisclosed insurer, the filing said.

Andy and I took about ten boys on a nature walk in the woods at Lake Yale. We were teaching the boys and showing them some things about God's creation. We came to this Water Oak that was a little bit twisted and looked liked it had a belly in the middle of the trunk. Andy told them it was called the "Pot Belly Tree". Naturally, the boys asked why it was called the "Pot Belly Tree". Then, Andy started to tell the history behind the tree. Andy said, "One day we had a group of boys about your age we took on a nature walk, just like we are doing today. In this group of boys there was one boy that didn't behave himself. He was throwing rocks, pushing other boys in the group, and not obeying. He was a big problem in the group." As the boys were listening to Andy I could tell they were convinced that this really happened. Andy told the boys, "I talked to this bad boy several times and corrected him on several occasions during the nature hike. Finally, I told him, 'If I have to talk to you anymore, I am going to tie you to a tree with every knot I know how to tie!'" Andy was great. His inflection got stronger as he progressed with the story. "The boy didn't believe me." Andy said, "So, the boy misbehaved his last time. I grabbed him by the arm and brought him over to this tree and tied him up with every knot I knew. The boy was tied firmly to this tree to the point where he couldn't move. I told him that I would be back later to untie him. So, the rest of the group and I left him and finished the nature hike." Andy finished the story saying, "Camp was over at the end of the week and we all packed up and went home." One of the boys in the group asked, "What about the boy you tied to the tree? What happened to him?" Andy paused for a minute and looked at the boys with a stoic face and answered, "We forget all about him." Another boy asked, "Did you remember to go back and untie the boy from the tree?" Andy answered, "Yeah, we did--when we came back the next summer. The only problem was; I forgot what tree I tied him to. So, I went to go looking for that tree all day and finally found it. It was too late. The tree had grown around the boy and the bark covered him up." Another boy asked, "Was the boy alive?" The studious observer I was, jumped in and finished it off. I said, "He was still alive. You could hear him say, 'Help, help, help!'" as my voice cracked in a higher note. Buy that time, the boys were totally convinced that the tale of the "Pot Belly Tree" was true. At that point, we could tell them anything and they would believe it. Andy walked over to the tree and put his ear up to it and said, "I think I can still hear crying for help." Immediately, all but one of the boys ran over to the tree and put their ears to the tree hoping they could hear the faint cries of the boy. As their attention was drawn to the tree, one boy that wasn't at the tree was walking close by. As he was walking, he found Deer Moss on the ground shaped like a foot. He picked it up and exclaimed, "Here's his foot!" That got Andy's and my attention. The boys, Andy, and I looked in the direction of the boy and saw the foot shaped Deer Moss he held up in plain sight. Andy and I looked at each other dumb-founded and amazed. Both of us were caught off guard and broke out laughing. When we started laughing, the boys realized they fell for the "Pot Belly Tree" tale. You could hear the group of boys saying they never believed what Andy and I told them about the "Pot Belly Tree". They said some things like: "Na'-ah", "That idn't true" or "You made dat up."

Only showing entries about spanish cuisine from Teaching and Travelling Abroad. View entries about spanish cuisine from all Travellerspoint blogs. Off to the airport soon... These are the highlights of the last couple of days in Madrid. - The Museum of Anthropology - quite small but interesting, especially because it concentrated on countries that were formerly owned/controlled by Spain or at least had a significant Spanish presence; for example Latin America, the USA, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea and the Republic of the Congo. It also contained a mummy discovered in a cave in Tenerife in the eighteenth century and the skeleton of a 'giant' who was born in Spain in 1849. - General street scenes and beautiful buildings that I've passed - Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace, Plaza de la Puerta del Sol, colourful buildings in side streets, a busker playing a set of glasses (running his finger round the rims with water) outside the Royal Palace, the grandness of Gran Vía (the main street; I came across a National Geographic shop there where I bought a lovely t-shirt on special offer at a 40% reduction)... - El Rastro, the enormous street flea market held every Sunday morning. I didn't buy anything but it was lovely to browse all the same. - The Museum of the Americas. There were lots of really interesting exhibits, just as I guessed there would be; highlights for me were the pre-Columbian objects, especially the exquisite gold figures from the Quimbaya culture of Colombia, a carved wooden statue made by the Chimú culture of Peru, and a Peruvian mummy with the gold jewellery she'd been buried with. There was also a 19th-century Guatemalan violin and sheet music which I was very taken with. There was a lovely little park opposite the entrance, too, with a statue of Simón Bolívar, one of the liberators of Spanish South America. - A special weekend lunch deal of a starter, main, dessert and drink for 13 euros at a Thai restaurant. It might seem strange to have Thai food in Madrid, but I suddenly had a craving for it. Hadn't had any Thai food since January, after all. I had stir-fried vegetables in a really tasty sauce for my starter, stir-fried chicken with a vegetable and peanut sauce and rice for the main and tapioca for pudding. - Reina Sofía Museum, where I saw Picasso's 'Guernica', lots of works by Salvador Dalí, Miró and other artists, plus a Richard Hamilton exhibition. I bought a fridge magnet of Guernica in the shop. I've always liked the Surrealists and I remember doing a study on Picasso for A-Level Art back in 2003... - Gazpacho, grilled grouper with salad, ice cream, churros... Today I finally managed to visit Toledo, an extremely beautiful, historical town that I've wanted to go to for many years! It was a day trip organised by my hostel and we left quite late in the morning so I didn't have as much time as I'd have liked - I only really had time for some photos from a viewing point at the top of the public library... ... a wander through picturesque, narrow, cobbled streets, a set lunch and then a really good look round the cathedral, including a trip up the belfry tower to see what I think is the largest bell in Spain. The cathedral included a museum that was mainly filled with religious art but also contained four silver sculptures from 1695 of a goddess sitting on a globe showing one of the four known continents on the world at the time. I gave a mental cheer when I looked at the Americas one and saw the names of both Guayaquil and Quito carved into the correct places in the space where the country Ecuador would later be created. At lunch I tried something I'd never tried until then - octopus. It came in chunks as part of the free appetiser. The texture and taste was much nicer than I expected. I still don't think I'd be able to eat an octopus if it arrived on my plate whole with all its tentacles out, but in the future if a dish has octopus chunks in it I won't hold back from ordering it. After I left the cathedral I had just enough time to buy a very special souvenir for myself - a small but high quality knife with a blade made from Toledo steel and the handle handmade from antler. I did the whole interaction with the guy in the shop in Spanish so I didn't understand every word he said, but before I bought it I made sure to check that it's a type of knife allowed into the UK. He showed me the types he had that aren't allowed and said that my one was fine. So fingers crossed it will get through OK on Monday! I've already put it into my big case to make sure I don't leave it in my hand luggage by mistake and have it confiscated at baggage x-ray. Once I was back in Madrid I met two really nice girls from Philadelphia who had moved into my dorm while I was out. They were very chatty and when they said they were going to Lisbon soon I told them that I think it's one of the best cities I've ever been to, which made them get even more excited about it. Amongst other things, I recommended that they go to the famous Portuguese custard tart shop/café in the area of Belém. For dinner the three of us joined in an all-you-can-eat tapas event organised by the hostel jointly with some other hostels nearby. There ended up being quite a large group. We were taken on a walk to the tapas bar, which was almost unnoticeable on the street (it wasn't a touristy place), led upstairs and then organised into groups standing up at small circular tables. Plates of tapas were brought round to us, along with very large glasses of a drink very much like sangria. The tapas was very tasty, though not very much at all in the way of vegetables. After the tapas finished there was an option to carry on to a bar crawl, but the Philadelphians and I decided to give it a miss and head to bed, as it was already very late and we had a lot planned for the next day. They were going to go on a Toledo day trip (I'd recommended it) and there were lots of things I wanted to see and do in Madrid. - the Museo del Prado - lots of really famous art by El Greco, Goya, Velázquez (I was particularly keen to see his work because I remember doing an essay in my third year at Swansea about some of his paintings within this museum), de Zúrbaran, Fra Angelico and Titian, amongst others. I only had to queue for twenty minutes and because it was between 6-8pm I got in for free. - A lovely walk through the massive Parque del Buen Retiro. These gardens were really pleasant and I came across a big lake as well as the beautiful Crystal Palace... slightly bizarrely the latter had lots of small wicker rocking chairs set up inside, each with a thick book attached to the chair by a string. I thought that was a really good idea. You couldn't stay inside the building for too long because the sun created an atmosphere like the inside of a greenhouse, but it was still a very interesting and rather unusual environment to be in! - Another lovely walk, this time round the small Royal Botanic Gardens. - Wandering the streets, taking in the beautiful plazas and architecture. - Churros and a mixture of hot chocolate and black coffee with sugar for breakfast at the hostel. - the interior of the Parroquia San Jerónimo El Real, which is behind the Museo del Prado. Unfortunately I could only have a quick look from inside the the entrance because a service was going on, but I loved what I saw. These aren't highlights in particular, but I'd still like to mention them. On the way back from the Museo del Prado in the evening, I came across a peaceful pro-Gaza march along a street round the corner from my hostel. Once I got back to the hostel I had some of the paella that is provided cheaply there every evening - not bad at all.

Gay marriage is not what has been scrubbed. As the OP said, what has been scrubbed is any mention of LGBT issues whatsoever. Saying we can ignore those issues because gay marriage has been made legal is no different from saying we can ignore racial issues because schools are no longer segregated. What about tackling homophobia, and discrimination in employment due to sexual orientation, and the desperate need by some states to punish transgender people for wanting to use the bathroom of their choice, and plenty more? These are still relevant issues and very much still at stake. This is nothing to do with gay marriage, this is to do with the "all Americans" who Trump promised to serve.

Out My Window: Interactive Views From The Global Highrise provides students with an opportunity to look in the window of selected highrise apart-ents and see and hear the people who live inside. It also gives students the opportunity to join those people in looking out those same windows at a variety of urban settings that reflect the process of urbanization, one of the defining features of our day. The 360-degree interactive “documentary”invites students to hear the stories of those who dwell in the highrises of four of these cities, too. This personalizes larger issues of urbanization and helps students move from a consideration of the particular to the general. The following activities are intended to help students explore the hopes and challenges of the inhabitants of highrises and the causes and consequences of the urbanization phenomena Educator’s Guide: The activities consist of two sections. - Section 1 – Looking In uses stories to teach about various people and issues and may be adapted as required for grades 7–12. - Section 2 – A Window on the World uses case studies to investigate broad issues related to the rise of cities as a global phenomenon. It is appropriate for grades 10–12. 1. Havana – Cuba 2. São Paulo – Brazil 3. Phnom Penh – Cambodia 4. Toronto – Canada Advertisements

I had to stay 24 hours as there was meconium(?) In my waters and they tested bubs lungs every 2 hours. They wanted me to stay longer but I just wanted to go home. Got very little sleep. Nurses did offer to take bub for me at 2am but I settled him and spent the next 4 hours constantly making sure he was still alive.... It was a shared room ward and if it wasn't my bub crying it was next door. It was exhausting. Everyone was really nice though. There was an option to be in the birth suite (for low risk pregnancy) where partners stay and it's a big private room but you can't have an epidural there so i was like nope, drug me up.

Climbing Mt. Mitchell was likely the most physically grueling trip I’ve ever embarked on. My two friends, Jeremy and Justin, and I decided it would be a really cool trip, which it was, but holy crap did we underestimate what it would take to get up and down that mountain. It’s known as the highest peak east of the Mississippi River and, having experienced it myself, I’ll say it – the proof is in the pudding. For reference, here is a picture of me from when we just started the hike: I was so happy starting out, just look at that big ole smile. It was fun and euphoric for the first 10 minutes then everything kind of started to deteriorate from there on out. We started the hike from Colbert Ridge, which for those who are unaware, here is a link to the actual trail we hiked:. Note that the trail I’ve linked says that the distance was 18.1 miles in total. However, when we tracked it ourselves, through all our exploring we hiked just over 22 miles. We weren’t able to keep good track of our elevation gain throughout the trip, but the 5,144 feet cited on the All Trails site was spot on. We restrained from doing any additional climbing than what was necessary to get up the mountain. The hike started out with a good 10 degree inclined slope and it didn’t seem to level off for about 1.5 miles. Didn’t seem too bad. But, at the 2 mile mark, the trail got really steep. Steep enough that I had a legitimate fear that I wouldn’t be able to make it up the mountain with the full weight of my pack. I think it weighed nearly 45-50 lbs. I made the mistake of carrying way more than what was necessary. I had a decent sized first-aid kit, a cast iron skillet (big mistake), a carbon-steel collapsible shovel/axe (another big mistake), a machete (not necessary when you can bring a small hatchet), a bottle of scotch (didn’t drink it at all, would have been too dehydrated to walk if I did), a Kammok tent/hammock, a North Face sleeping bag, sunscreen, bug spray/lotion, my GoPro, some dehydrated food, a waterproof speaker, some utility rope, and a bunch of other miscellaneous things. Looking back I probably would have brought less than half of the stuff I listed. It was just added pain. Word of advice – pack as light as possible. The hike up to the mountain was brutally long. We also started quite late in the day, our starting point was an hour away from our hotel in Asheville, NC. We stayed up late and didn’t get a full nights rest, which was very stupid, but I don’t regret it. We got to try out Wicked Weed Brewing Company while in Asheville and that was awesome! Fast forward to our summit – we reached the peak just before sunset. It was nearly 7:30PM by the time we hiked up the mountain. We started at around 11:00AM. For a moment when we reached the top, it was a sudden feeling of euphoria, short-lived, but well-worth the work we put in to get up there. Here are a few pictures from the top of our summit: I wasn’t smiling like that on the way up though. I was huffing, puffing, and doing my best to focus on proper breathing. The heat and humidity was so intense that for a majority of the hike, my shirt was so drenched it was dripping sweat to the ground. Getting to the top of the summit was surreal. For one, the view is spectacular, even more so when you experience just how much persistence it takes to climb up the mountain from the valleys below. And second, we likely would have had an awful time atop the mountain if it were not for an incredibly kind couple from Tennessee that willingly offered us food and fresh water. We had been bottling the mountain spring water and disinfecting it with Potable Aqua tablets and so the fresh water was a treat. Before meeting them, we were on our last reserves of food too. We had two cans of tuna and two dehydrated vegetarian chilli meals to last us the night and getting down the mountain. We hadn’t even eaten dinner at that time. I still can’t get over how generous they were to us – they gave us a whole bag of jerky, a big bag of salad, raisins, keto bars, trail mix, brownie bites, and each an organic apple picked from a local apple farm. Those two people made our trip magnitudes more enjoyable and I can only hope that they know just what their generosity meant to us. Surely, I’ll be doing the same as they did for the next group of hikers I come across. All in all, I truly enjoyed the experience. I felt like a quasi-pioneer traversing the Appalachia in search of a greater view of the horizon ahead. I don’t imagine I’ll ever do the same hike again, but if I am to ever set foot on another mountain, even one half the height of Mt. Mitchell, I’ll be sure to pack at least half the weight I packed on my recent trip. Last but not least, once we got down the mountain, we treated ourselves to a couple amazing beers at Sierra Nevada’s gigantic brewery just south of Asheville. We finished our trip with a Spruce Tree Dunkel beer, idyllic of the terrain we had just trekked.

Home Blog Q and A What breakfast cereal should I be eating? What breakfast cereal should I be eating? updated on June 29, 2019 February 22, 2017 by Madeleine at That Healthy Girl1 Comment on What breakfast cereal should I be eating? Do you feel bamboozled by the ever expanding cereal aisle? Not sure what you should be looking for in a cereal? You’re not alone. Supermarkets and food companies hope that you are confused so that you will succumb to strategic product placement, weekly specials, and clever marketing claims on front of packet. I am going to share some tips to ensure you are making the best purchase for your health, and the health of your family. More popular (and often less healthy) options will be placed at eye level and in abundance at the supermarket. These may also be found on special at the end of an aisle as part of a promotional stand. Try looking up, down and around at other options. To truly know what is in the cereal, take little notice of nutrition claims on the front, instead flip the product over and read the ingredient list, look for fewer ingredients. The more ingredients a product has, the more processed and refined it is likely to be. Ignore cartoon characters and pictures on the front, again these are there to entice kids and are often not the healthiest choice. Look for cereals that contain less than 10% fat on the nutrition panel (less than 10g/100g). Fats should predominately be healthy mono-unsaturated fats instead of saturated trans fats. Look for products that have less than 10g (2 teaspoons) of sugar per serve. If a cereal has more than this, check the ingredients to see if the sugar is naturally occurring or added sugar. Added sugar has many names, glucose syrup, dextrose, brown rice syrup, fructose to name a few. Breakfast should be contributing close to a third of your daily fibre intake, particularly if you are a three meals a day person. Fibre is therefore a really important nutrient to look out for when choosing a cereal, as many processed and Gluten Free options are lacking. Look for cereals that have 3g at a minimum per serve, but higher towards 6-7g is ideal. Inadequate fibre in a cereal will leave you hungry not long after eating, and can lead to over-eating. Cereals that have less than 120mg per 100g serve can be classed as low sodium. This is an ideal range. If a cereal has more than this, try to keep it below 300mg at a maximum. Excess salt can cause fluid retention and bloating, not to mention extra pressure on your heart and kidneys. I hope these few tips remove some of the confusion around breakfast cereal selection and get you thinking next time you hit the cereal aisle! As always,thanks for stopping by, Madeleine (THG).

Whats on the hole where your outhaul comes out? On my boom I am replacing the outhaul line. the boat is new to me and I noticed that the reason why the line was highly chaffed is because the hole it is comming out is just a raw drilled hole with no grommet or anything around it. What can I use here? I am refering to the end that you pull on. You need what's called a thru deck block right at the opening see Harken part number 088. Take a look at Harken for examples of systems. So I want one of these thru deck blocks on both ends of my boom? I do have one on the aft end where it pulls the sail. I am refering to the other end where I pull the line. Thru deck block or exit plate??????????? Exit plates are for when the direction of pull is parallel to the direction it runs (say a main halyard). They cannot redirect the direction of the line like the harken block does.

While Tuesday, The Duchess of Cornwall spent a day on the Isle of Wight. Her first port of call was the former retreat of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert – Osborne House. Dame Judi Dench, who is Patron of the Friends of Osborne House and has portrayed Queen Victoria a number of times, was there to greet The Duchess of Cornwall upon her arrival. Embed from Getty Images During her time at Osborne House, The Duchess of Cornwall was taken on a tour of the property alongside Dame Judi, who showed Camilla the restored Durbar Room – one of the locations for the film Victoria and Abdul which Judi Dench starred in. The duo also cooled down from the soaring temperatures with a Mr Whippy ice cream – now Queen Victoria would be amused! The Duchess of Cornwall also visited Cowes town centre on her trip to the Isle of Wight. While Camilla enjoyed the sunshine on the Isle of Wight, Prince Charles was busy with his own engagements in Staffordshire. The Prince of Wales spent most of his day with horses and trees. On a visit to the Pool House Vet’s Equine Clinic, The Prince of Wales was taken through the finer points of horse dentistry before making his way to woodland in the county to hear of the University of Birmingham’s Institute of Forest Research Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment experiment. The Prince was delighted to learn of the work to model how forests could help tackle climate change. The University of Birmingham’s site was established in 2014 with a £15 million donation to provide fundamental research on woodlands and forests. On Wednesday, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall were back together for a trip to the Sandringham Flower Show. In their traditional visit to the Show, Charles and Camilla met with wellwishers and viewed displays at the 137th annual Sandringham Flower Show. Embed from Getty Images Basking in the heat, organisers of the event had previously told visitors to take precautions from the extremely hot weather. The Duchess of Cornwall had obviously taken this advice as she came prepared with a hand-held parasol. The trip to the Sandringham Flower Show marks the last joint engagement for Charles and Camilla before their Summer break. Camilla usually takes her grandchildren for a ‘bucket and spade’ holiday before joining The Prince of Wales at their residence in Birkhall, Scotland in around two weeks time. Nobody can argue that The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall really deserve this well-earned break.

Meat kicks ass. Baby animals = More tender meat. YUM! Blood tickles my tastebuds. Peta pisses me off too... Even vegitarians hate PETA... The smart ones, anyways. The first two cartoons were just kinda dumb. I did laugh at the third one, though. The only problem with the first animation was the art. It basically sucked. But I liked it. Save a carrot eat a chicken. Of course. MINE was the one you liked. Ahahahaha! No, but seriously, I expected people to like Duck-Duck-Sheep's best. I suppose this was mildly amusing... only one of the three parts of the collab tried to be remotely informative, but I suppose it was more about PETA bashing. All in all I suppose it was mildly amusing, not bad I guess.

How Word of Mouth Can Work For You Word of mouth happens organically, but these three tips will help your business get the most out of this kind of recommendation. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been relying on friends and family for recommendations on everything from cars to coffee makers. The oldest — and perhaps the most effective — form of marketing is word of mouth (WOM). Today it’s easier than ever to research opinions on products and services through social media and review sites. Buyers are no different. They value the opinions of peers and colleagues. In fact, B2B buyers rank it among their top three resources for information. And, in general, 82% of Americans seek recommendations when making a purchase of any kind. It makes sense: User reviews offer an unbiased, credible experience regarding a company’s products or services. So potential customers do not have to rely exclusively on information the organization provides. What’s more, reviewers often share more than just opinions; they frequently include related tips or good-to-knows, which offer extra value for the reader. You know buyers are out there talking about your company, so make their chatter work for you. Here are three tips to turn word-of-mouth marketing into leads. 3 ways to make word of mouth work for you 1. Identify target influencers More and more consumers are turning to third-party reviews over brand messaging. In fact, data from MuseFind shows that 92% of consumers trust an influencer more than an advertisement or traditional celebrity endorsement. Influencers have established credibility with their followers and the ability to sway opinions. By identifying key influencers in your sector or industry, you can begin to foster a partnership and help drive the messaging about your brand and products. Influencer marketing drives brand awareness and builds relationships with your target audience. 2. Talk about the exceptional Social media has allowed word-of-mouth referrals to go one step further. With digital reviews, companies have a new responsibility to respond to customer comments, both good and bad. This creates an opportunity to demonstrate exceptional customer service. Be available, be responsive, and be attentive to customers who leave comments on social media and third-party review sites. This will create a loyalty that translates into customers that care deeply about your product and are much more likely to share with their peers and coworkers. It also allows users checking your social media or third-party review sites to witness your exceptional customer service firsthand. 3. Make reviews easy The easiest way to get people talking about your company is to give them the opportunity to do so. Seek out customer reviews on specific products or processes and share them far and wide. One unique way of capturing this information is using a platform like Yotpo. By directly sending customers an email with a built-in review form, this company is able to collect quality feedback in the form of customer reviews or user-uploaded images. These credible experiences can be shared as a marketing tool on your website, social media platforms, and elsewhere. B2B marketers need to be thinking about the power of word-of-mouth recommendations. There is no shortage of thoughts and opinions being shared online, so use these opportunities to your advantage. Have some good ideas on how to utilize word-of-mouth recommendations and customer reviews? We’d love to hear them!

I'm not a vegan or vegetarian but it's not that difficult to understand. We have the ability to exist without eating meat (so parallels to what happens in the wild aren't relevant) therefore if you choose to eat meat you are condoning the taking of life of a sentient being and the cruelty of factory farming. The argument is non human animals can feel pain and pleasure. They have the same interests as humans in not wanting pain and wanting to live. By eating meat you're demonstrating through your actions that non human animals shouldn't have equal consideration for those same wants as humans do. Think about it, we don't eat human meat. We don't subject humans to the horrors of factory farming. So, it becomes a moral issue when you're ok with death and suffering simply because it's not your species.

The pelvic floor is made up of a group of muscles in the pelvis, attaching like a hammock to the pubic bone at the front and the sacral bone at the back. This hammock supports the pelvic organs – the bladder, rectum and vagina/uterus. The pelvic floor muscles can be weakened during childbirth or with chronic cough, heavy lifting and straining. They may also weaken with ageing. This can create problems with urine leakage during physical activity/cough (stress urinary incontinence), faecal incontinence or vaginal prolapse. Once stress urinary incontinence or prolapse develops, pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is regarded as first-line management and may significantly reduce symptoms or the need for surgery.

Please do. I'm not certified to teach anything except English, so I'm a poor teacher of Asian languages. I'll gladly share what I can on the culture, which I studied night and day for 3 years. If you saw my post history and your interest is in formally learning traditional Zen (Soto Shu, in Japanese), I can do that as well. Teaching of medeitation and koans/stories through established temples is done on a *dana* basis, a word meaning a teacher is extra generous in their teaching and hopes you naturally return their generosity in donating food, time, or money to the temple/center they affiliate with. It's all done on a goodwill basis. But yes, by all means, feel free to PM me. I always get back within a day or two. I remember learning my basics through those funny crab videos! I think they're called PuniPuni on YouTube. The IchiNiSan song video is also so catchy for learning your first base numbers.

New research, from property experts Zoopla, has revealed 59 per cent of all UK properties for sale over the last year were exempt from paying any type of transactional tax for first-time buyers. That’s almost 60 per cent of all homes for sale where first-time buyers are not being stung by the dreaded Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). ‘The various first-time buyer tax reliefs across Great Britain have helped put more than 59 per cent of homes firmly in the ‘Stamp Duty-free’ zone – or its country equivalent,’ says Laura Howard, spokesperson for Zoopla. From the man in the know: Martin Lewis has an urgent warning for wannabe first-time buyers ‘Buying your first home is usually the most costly thing you’ll ever do, so the maximum £5,000 saving made possible with this tax relief is welcome. After all it could cover your survey and legal costs.’ Colin Poole By analysing listings across the last 12 months, comparing listing prices to the tax thresholds across England, Scotland and Wales, Zoopla has uncovered where first-time buyers are least and most likely to pay tax. A staggering 99.6 per cent of all properties being priced under the SDLT threshold, the towns of Bootle in Merseyside and Shildon in County Durham top the list of places where first-time buyers are least likely to pay Stamp Duty. In third place is Heckmondwike in West Yorkshire with 99.2 percent of the market. While Blyth in Northumberland where 99 percent of homes don’t require first-time buyers to pay Stamp Duty, comes in fourth. Alun Callender At the other end of the scale, Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire has the fewest amount of properties suitable for first-time buyers to avoid paying Stamp Duty. Just 1.7 per cent of homes in the town were priced under the tax threshold. The highly desirable village of Ingatestone, in Essex, comes in second place with only 2.0 per cet, and Chalfont St Giles in Buckinghamshire is in third with 3.4 per cent. Laura adds, ‘.’ ‘While first-time buyers are now not treated differently in Wales in terms of Stamp Duty. Lower property prices there mean that 56 per cent of homes respectively are also exempt. Still a welcome reality.’ Related: Calling all first time buyers! You can now pay for someone to find your first home for you Is this welcome news for your purchasing journey?

Samsung M-series is basically known for budget smartphones, but it didn’t exist almost a year ago. But it has now been covering a handsome amount of market worldwide including the UK and giving a tough competition to Chinese smartphone makers with never-before-seen features without making your wallet cry. Samsung’s first three smartphones in Galaxy M-series were Galaxy M10, M20, and M30 that got a tremendously positive response from the audience and enabled Samsung to sell out more than 2 million units in a couple of weeks. The reason behind the success of these phones was their state-of-the-art designs and hardware at competitive enough prices to leave behind brands like Realme and Xiaomi. The Samsung Galaxy M40 UK, however, is the fourth smartphone in M-series and interestingly, it has maintained that aggressive run too. The most appealing feature that really entices the audience is its Infinity-O display with a punch-hole to sport a front-facing camera. Perhaps, it’s the world’s first smartphone that holds up an Infinity-O display alongside a small cut-out in a budget segment. Besides, it’s loaded with a mid-range Snapdragon Chipset, a Triple Camera Configuration, 6.3-inches Display and up to 6GB of RAM. Well, there are some trade-offs as well, i.e. lack of AMOLED panel, 3.5mm headphone jack and a small amount of battery. But all these sacrifices don’t hurt Galaxy M40 any further – thanks to its lower price tag. What else makes it stand out from a crowd? Let’s find out in our Samsung Galaxy M40 review below. The official Samsung Galaxy M40 release date UK was back in May 2019 – very much like other countries, i.e. China, India, the US, Canada, Australia, and many European countries. However, it started arriving on shores in the mid of June 2019. Hence, it’s available all over the globe including the UK, and one can get his/her hands on one with immediate effects. It’s available on UK’s major online stores for sale, i.e. Amazon.co.uk, Currys.co.uk, Argos.co.uk and, of course, eBay.co.uk. As for Samsung Galaxy M40 Price UK, it’s available at £220 if you buy one with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage whereas 6GB/128GB variant set users back £270. When it comes to comparing Galaxy M40 with others with the same price tag, you will have an option to consider buying Redmi Note 7 Pro or Asus Max Pro M2 that are even slightly lower as compared to Galaxy m40. A new Infinity-O screen, a first for a Galaxy M phone, is displayed on the front of the Galaxy M40. Very much like Samsung Galaxy S10, it’s sporting a small cut-out on the top corner of the display which flaunts a selfie snapper. This solution removes the need for a notch to reduce the distraction during display viewing. The bezels around the Galaxy M40 are smaller compared to the Galaxy M30 so that you get more real estate for your screen. The screen of the Galaxy M30 is 0.1-inch smaller, but it’s too hard to find the difference. Also, the Galaxy M40 has a slightly smaller shape factor and a thinner 7.9 mm profile that make it feel good in the hand. The Galaxy M40’s back panel looks similar to other Galaxy M devices. Thanks to 2 new gradients – Midnight Blue and Seawater Blue – this still manages to look fresh. The Midnight Blue unit offers a dark blue colour almost all over the panel, while the curved borders give a lighter blue shade. The effect looks pretty good, it is almost a dual-tone effect. The Seawater Blue has a light blue gradient that is also very attractive. A fingerprint sensor is mounted on the back which enrolls your fingerprint extremely quickly. The fingerprint is joined with a triple camera configuration which is positioned vertically on the top left corner of the phone. The power button and volume rockers, however, are placed on the right side, and they are easy to reach. By not including the 3.5mm headphone jack in the Galaxy M40, Samsung made a bold decision, which probably won’t be well-done in a segment that still sees the love for the jack. The port removal does not seem to have any advantages because the battery capacity is smaller than the M30, and it’s not as slim as the Galaxy A50. Samsung has tried to compensate by offering Type-C earphones in the box. The Galaxy M40 is compatible with a hybrid SIM slot and has one speaker grill on the bottom. Samsung removed the earpiece to reduce the top bezel, choosing a sound technology on screen, which mainly means the sound is being provided from beneath the display. The quality isn’t as good as expected, and it lacks a precise clarity. That’s where it gets difficult. Although the first segment punch-hole display is offered by Samsung, which is unique in appearances, the company has also made a deal. Samsung used an LCD panel for the Galaxy M40 rather than a Super AMOLED display like it was with the Galaxy M30. Although Samsung displays are generally some of the best in the business, this LCD display doesn’t offer richness, depth of colours and appeal that offered by AMOLED display. You can say right outside of the bat that the colours on the screen appear a bit blurred and washed out on the Galaxy M40 in comparison with the deep and bright colours – offered by Galaxy M30. The blacks aren’t as dark and deep as you would expect, particularly disappointing because One UI comes with a system-wide Night mode on AMOLED screen that looks great. That said, the 6.3” display with 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution from the Galaxy M40 still offers outstanding sharpness with clear texts and sharp videos. Admittedly it looks good for an LCD panel. In the portfolio of Samsung, Galaxy M40 is another phone that offers three rear cameras (including a broad-window lens). Triple camera configurations became a major component in 2019 when brands seek to provide flexibility. The 32MP primary camera with an f/1.7 aperture, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera with a 123-degree FoV and a 5MP depth camera are available on Samsung Galaxy M40’s back. The front, on the contrary, is equipped with a single 16MP camera – positioned in a small punch-hole on the top left side. The 32MP primary camera is designed to provide a clear and detailed image. You should note, however, that the camera shoots by default at 12MP resolution. By changing the aspect ratio from 3:2 to 3:2H, you can switch to full 32MP, but the difference in the image quality wouldn’t be clear. You cannot use auto HDR when you have to use the complete 32MP mode, too. The pictures look sharp and detailed during the daytime (unless you zoom in into the photos), although the contrast is lacking. The Galaxy M40 has a fast shutter and autofocus, which means that in the daylight you won’t get blurry images. The same is not true if you shoot indoors or in low light, because pictures often appear soft and blurry. Low-light shots can’t compete with what Redmi Note 7 Pro or Realme 3 Pro offers without a special night. The wide-angled lens can be easily changed by tapping on the button, which is always useful for capturing landscape pictures. The 8MP sensor is adequate to capture wide-angle shootings in daylight, but it’s not clear enough. The back and front cameras are supported by live focus to make real-time adjustments for background blurry. The 16MP Selfie camera is the best to average, with a washed-down colour and a flattering face. The blacks of hairs and skin tones don’t look natural because the Galaxy M30, which has a similar 16MP sensor, produced better results. In the meantime, the 25MP front camera of Galaxy A50 provides more sharp selfies. As for the video, there is no stabilisation of the primary camera on the Galaxy M40, therefore, expecting jitter-free and clean videos would be wrong. The camera is capable of recording videos up to UHD resolution (3840 x 2160). Besides the punch-hole display, Samsung boasts another feature that this is the first Snapdragon M phone to run. The Snapdragon 675 2GHz octa-core processor coupled with up to 6GB of RAM is sufficient to ensure that the Galaxy M40 works properly on most daily tasks. It is a reliable processor because the Redmi Note 7 Pro runs with the same processor effortlessly. The phone feels pretty snappy out of the box. Apps can be opened quickly, and load times are quick too. Scrolling through the user interface is quick and tactile. The chipset can run games like PUBG & Asphalt 9 without a slowdown or jitters on medium-size graphics. However, consumers who take mobile gaming seriously and want to play in max graphics settings at this price, you should look at Pocophone F1 instead. The Galaxy M40 is notably the first one to come out of the box in the Galaxy M series with Android Pie. In addition to Pie, you will get One UI that is custom software of Samsung that is really optimised. You will get functionalities like system-wide night mode and a redesigned interface to simplify the use by one hand. You get a few pre-loaded apps, all of which can be uninstalled with ease, such as Prime Video, Amazon, Dailyhunt, and Helo. There are also some One UI features that aren’t available in M40, such as a blue light filter and a home page of Bixby Home, which provide custom cards for relevant daily information. The reason why these features are missing is not yet known, but it’s most likely that Samsung will add all these features with future updates. The phone provides a 64GB/128GB internal storage, which seems more than enough to download and store loads and loads of files with ease. You can, however, extend it further to up to 512GB by using a microSD card if you feel that is not enough. The fingerprint sensor on the back is pretty snappy and precise. Face unlocking is available too, but indoor is not as fast and certainly not in low lighting conditions. The Type-C inbox earphones, especially with Dolby Atmos, enabled sound decent enough. If you have a more comfortable pair of wired earphones, you have to use a Type-C to 3.5 mm dongle, which is obviously a bit of work. With gigantic 5000mAh batteries offered by Galaxy M20 and M30, it’s surprising that Samsung Galaxy M40 offers only a 3500mAh battery. This is downgrading and the fact that the Galaxy M40 will not last for a whole day with heavy usage. Well, you should leave about 25%-30% juice in the tank at bedtime with basic tasks such as messages and the browsing of social media throughout the day. Throw a game and video stream, and the battery should be drained faster during the day. Be noted that the Galaxy M40 is particularly suitable for standby, so in the morning every day, you are most likely to charge your phone. Most importantly, Samsung Galaxy m40 is backed by fast charging and you get a 15W charging brick which doesn’t take more than two hours to get it charged from 0% to 100%. 7.9The Samsung Galaxy M40, without a doubt, is a sweet addition with a lot of innovative features you won’t find anywhere else for the price. The enticing features include up to snuff performance, eye-catching design, capable enough cameras and, of course, a punch-hole on the front for a front-facing camera. All in all, Samsung Galaxy M40 is a good phone – but like many other Samsung smartphones – so, it could’ve been priced a little more competitively. What do you say? Well, if you need the most bang for your buck, you will be needing to stick with Chinese OEMs. But if you are a huge Samsung’s fan and don’t want to look anywhere else, then there is no better budget-friendly smartphone than Galaxy M40, as of now.

Dr. Ruthie Walker in the News! Congratulatons Dr. Ralph Hood and Dr. Chris Silver from the Doctoral Program in Learning and Leadership (LEAD), who, working with an international research team that includes Drs. Heinz Streib and Barbara Keller from Bielefeld University in Germany, received an additional $100,000 in funds as a project extension from the Templeton Foundation and the University of Bielefeld to last through December 2020. This project is an ongoing collaboration between the UTC Department of Psychology and LEAD, headed by Dr. David Rausch. It is not typical for the Templeton Foundation to support extensions on international funded projects. However, the richness of the data collected thus far, and the 20-year long collaboration between international partners, helped secure this extension and additional funding on their current project. The team is seeking an additional multimillion dollar award for a three year extension, with matching funds provided by both UTC and the University of Bielefeld. This award will allow business and research operations on the current project to continue, creating experiential learning opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students at UTC. Congrulations to Dr. Nicky Ozbek on being officially designated as Professor Emeritus at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga! Dr. Ozbek joined UTC in the Fall of 1977 as an Assistant Professor of Psychology. She subsequently received tenure and promotion to the rank of Associate Professor in 1983 and was promoted to Full Professor in 1985. Dr. Ozbek has served the department with distinction in many areas. She taught a wide variety of challenging courses, most of which were at the upper level, and received numerous teaching excellence awards. Generations of students benefitted from her knowledge and practical experience. She served as the coordinator of our discontinued MS Program in Clinical Psychology for seven years. Most notably, Dr. Ozbek served as Chair of our Reappointment, Tenure and Promotion Committee from 2005 until her retirement at the end of last semester. This was a particularly challenging role given the number of new faculty that have joined the department over the last 15 years. Dr. Ozbek continues to be a very productive researcher, with dozens of peer-reviewed journal articles and conference presentations, including grant funded research. This includes her continuing work on olfaction and memory that has been funded by the William H. Wheeler Center for Odor Research. Psi Chi Recognized! An experiential learning project conducted by Dr. Jill Shelton and students in her Psychology of Aging class this summer includes kits being delivered to the Summit View Senior Community. Dr. Shelton's students had collected a variety of items for activity kits for the 110 residents. Students either hand-delivered or shipped them to the Psychology Department. New faculty member Dr. Tomorrow Arnold and Dr. O helped pack the bags! See photos and read more. Listen to Dr. Shelton talk more about the project on WUTC. Congratulations Dr. Alex Zelin for being named the recipient of the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Mary Roth Walsh Teaching the Psychology of Women Award for 2020! This national teaching award is presented by APA Division 35, Psychology of Women, in memory of Dr. Mary Roth Walsh, the founder of the Teaching the Psychology of Women Institute and a pioneer in promoting the psychology of women, to “encourage junior faculty teaching the psychology of women or gender course and focuses particularly on teaching innovations. In addition to receiving the award during the virtual APA conference in August, Dr. Zelin has also been asked to write an article about her award-winning course for publication in the Division 35 newsletter, The Feminist Psychologist. Melissa Materia was named the recipient of the Ulrey K. Wilson award as the outstanding senior in Psychology for 2020! This award reflects the vote of faculty and staff in the UTC Department of Psychology recognizing students for outstanding academic achievements and contributions to the Department. Dr. Ulrey K. Wilson was a Department Head in Psychology and a beloved teacher. Delaney Perry has been named the UTC Outstanding Senior in Psychology! This award reflects the vote of faculty and staff in the Department of Psychology recognizing outstanding academic achievements and contributions to the Department.

There’s nothing more delicious and nutritious, and EASY, than roasting broccoli in the oven. This recipe for Summer Roasted Broccoli can be made all year long really, but the best part of the taste is the addition of the spices and garlic. This Summer Roasted Broccoli Recipe is super delicious!!!! I like to spray a little olive oil or butter on top of the broccoli to help them roast up to a nice golden brown color. You can roast these broccoli in the oven for around 35 minutes at 400 degrees. The broccoli will come out golden brown and have a slightly charred/burned taste. This is my favorite part! You can use this roasting technique with other vegetables as well- I like to do this with mushrooms, carrots, bell peppers, and corn. Clean and cut broccoli, chop into smaller pieces. Mince garlic or chop into small pieces. Place on ungreased baking sheet or in an iron skillet. Drizzle top with olive oil or melted butter. Salt and pepper on top, add other spices. Cook in oven for 35-40 minutes or until browned on top.

Monday, May 3, 2010 Beth Israel board to discuss CEO Levy’s conduct By Julie M. Donnelly The board at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is set to meet this afternoon to discuss further the conduct of hospital CEO Paul Levy. Last week, Beth Israel’s board of directors held two meetings following the receipt of an anonymous letter that alleged Levy engaged in inappropriate conduct, given his position at the hospital. After last Monday’s meeting, board Chairman Stephen B. Kay released a statement, saying “Levy did acknowledge lapses of judgment in a personal relationship, and the board is taking appropriate action.” Levy last week released his own note to Beth Israel staff, saying the board “found an instance in which I exercised poor judgment. I agree that the board’s conclusion is accurate, and I have apologized to them.” Since then, Levy has refused to speak on the matter publicly.

Well, how does he defind believe in Jesus? Jesus was a real historical figure so even an atheist could "believe" in Jesus, as in believe he existed. Or does he mean believe in Jesus as the Son of God, which is what people would say is the foundational belief of Christians? If it's the later than Muslims would not qualify as "believing" in Jesus, because they do not see him as the Son of God, but only a prophet. Edit: As far as I'm aware Islam doesn't have a "Jesus" figure either (at least not one who is said to have already lived). Muhammad is not their equivalent to the Christan Jesus because he is only the "last prophet", not the Son of God.

The United States President Donald Trump is mulling to ban China’s Tik Tok application. This decision comes in weeks after India banned TikTok citing national security concerns. Trump states, ‘We are looking at Tik Tok. We may be banning Tik Tok. There are a couple of options. But a lot of things are happening, so we'll see what happens. But we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to Tik Tok’. Meanwhile, rumours are emerging that Microsoft is likely to buy Chinese app Tik Tok's US operations. Microsoft does not have a social platform like Facebook wich is why they were planning to buy Tik Tok.

Their names were Susan Gertrude Horsfall, Marian Florence Horsfall and Annie Louise Horsfall. The two sisters depicted here look quite similar and we are unsure who is who in these two photos.

Our Slovenian adventure ended in the country’s capital, Ljubljana. This adorable city is set in a valley surrounded by mountains, making it even more picturesque. Great food, beautiful buildings and lovely weather made our stay in Ljubljana delightful and relaxing. You can fly from London to Ljubljana. Once there, it’s about 30 minutes driving to the city center. Public transport will run you a little longer, up to an hour. We flew into Venice and roadtripped to Bled, then from Bled to Bohinj, then the Motorail and, finally, onto Ljubljana. It is a small city, so finding a space in a public lot near our AirBnb was easy. We parked in Nuk II. Designed by famous Slovenian architect, Vladimir Subic, the Skyscraper is a beautiful Art Deco building a short walk from the Town Square that offers stunning views. There’s a cafe and restaurant at the top, perfect for grabbing your drink of choice and watching the sunset. We found that arriving one hour before sunset was ideal. The sun sets behind the mountains, so with an hour to spare, we had a good few minutes where the castle was bathed in golden hour light before the sun sank too low. I booked us a table ahead of time, thinking it would be packed at sunset on a Friday night. That was hardly the case, so maybe it is a hidden gem! Each day at 11am a free Ljubljana walking tour departs from in front of the pink church. We figured this would be the perfect way to make the most of our day in Ljubljana. Over the course of two hours, we walked all over the old city and learned about the fascinating history of Slovenia. One side of the river is Austrian Art Deco inspired, the other Italian baroque. There are dragons everywhere in Ljubljana! There are several legends that led to the dragon’s status as official mascot of the city. I regret not picking up two plush ones for the nephews, they were so cute. After several attempts to find lunch after our tour, we set off up to Ljubljana Castle. Our tour guide discouraged getting tickets to go inside, instead she recommended just walking around and checking out the view. After visiting Bled Castle, we figured her advice was worth taking. After the Skyscraper, the view was a little anti-climatic since it was not 360 degrees and didn’t include the lovely castle itself. The views from the walk up to the castle were my favorite part of that excursion. Ever since our fabulous wine tasting in Lisbon, I’ve been searching for something similar in cities we’ve visited since. I haven’t had much luck until Slovenia. I came across Wine Tasting Ljubljana and after reading a few reviews, I booked us two spots. It was a fabulous tasting! We tried seven wines while learning about the history and variety of Slovenian wine and winemaking methods. Our host, Boris, was incredibly passionate about Slovenia’s winemaking history and on a mission to share Slovenian wine with the world. His enthusiasm was contagious. The session was interactive and took place in a beautiful wine cave setting. We tried a diverse array of wines, but I don’t want to give too much away! If you like wine, this wine tasting is an absolute must. We learned a lot and had a great time. It was the perfect pre-dinner activity. We booked an Airbnb in the Old Town just off the river. Ljubljana looks small on GoogleMaps, and once there we could really appreciate just how centrally located our Airbnb really was. The old city is the perfect spot to stay for touring. It is incredibly quaint. Our Airbnb was an adorable little studio flat and perfect for our needs during our stay in Ljubljana. It also had an insane bathtub, which appears to be a trend in European Airbnb’s? For such a small city, Ljubljana has fantastic food! Both of our dinners were absolutely fantastic and some of the best we’ve had this year. The food and the service at both restaurants was outstanding. Book ahead, as both places had to turn people away when we arrived. Our first night, we dined at Most. Right on the river, this lovely restaurant serves up fabulous comfort food dishes. We got scallops on puréed cauliflower to start and it was so good. For our mains, I ordered the chicken breast and Andrew the pork ribs. Both were phenomenal and the kind of meals that leave you a little sad when your plate is cleared. For dessert, we split the creme brûlée. Again, just fabulous. On our second night, we had dinner at the beautiful Julija. Just steps from our AirBnb, our dinner here was fantastic. We got the grilled polenta to start, followed by the salmon with grilled vegetables and Andrew got a steak with cheese dumplings. It was a special meal! I had read that Romantika Gelateria was a must-visit, so we stopped by for dessert after our meal at Julija. Marked with signs declaring it the best gelato in Ljubljana, we were excited to give it a try. My chocolate gelato was positively heavenly. We stopped into the adorable Cafetino coffee shop while waiting for our Airbnb host to greet us. I got a hot chocolate, realizing at some point during our stay that Slovenian hot chocolate is not what we are used in the US or UK. Instead, it’s like a warm, slightly more liquid chocolate pudding (in the US use of the word!). Decadent and delicious. Thanks to the cheap drink, Ljubljana is becoming a popular spot for stag and hen do’s, so we hear. We didn’t see any during our stay, but they may have been out at the clubs in Metelkova. Speaking of, we didn’t make it there, but it looks super cool! The drink to order in Ljubljana is wine, though the craft beer scene in Slovenia is growing. With the help of our wine tasting, we were able to try all different types of Slovenian wine, from dessert wines to sparkling rose. After dinner Saturday night, we grabbed a drink along the river at Zlata Ribica (and actually returned for lunch the next day which definitely exceeded our expectations for a spot so well-located in a touristy area). Right on the river with cozy seats and warm heaters, this spot was perfect for people watching after dinner. Despite being hopping with nearly every table full, the service was quick and reliable. A favorite of tour groups stopping by for a free sample of blueberry liquor, Vineria del Ponte is a lovely little wine store dedicated to Slovenian wines. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Located just across from our Airbnb, we popped in to grab a bottle to try.

Countries are ranked across a number of different categories: safest, friendliest, most attractive citizens. But now, for the first time, countries have been ranked by empathy, and three Gulf nations made the top ten. In a study recently published in the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, results from an online study completed by 104,000 people were analyzed to evaluate which countries are the most empathetic in the world. The survey measured "people's compassion for others and their tendency to imagine others' point of view,"though it did not differentiate between empathetic feelings toward people in one's own country and that same feeling toward people in other countries. The most empathetic country in the world? Ecuador! Following the South American nation is Saudi Arabia, Peru, Denmark, United Arab Emirates, Korea, the United States, Taiwan, Costa Rica, and Kuwait. It shouldn't come as any surprise that GCC countries dominated the list-- the UAE in particular has a commitment to ensuring its citizens and residents alike are happy and safe, and a happy living environment certainly helps foster a more empathetic community.

WSAZ Investigates | Bill aims to eliminate licenses to operate ambulance service MAGOFFIN COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) - A new bill introduced in the Kentucky state Legislature could soon improve policies to establish an ambulance service. It’s a piece of change the Koch family’s been praying for. “There should never be a holdup for people getting emergency services,” said Amber Koch. “It’s unfair to the people of Kentucky that need those services.” WSAZ first introduced you to the Koch family after their heartbreaking story. Help arrived too late, and their loved one died. Last September, our investigation revealed an ambulance wasn’t available during more than a dozen emergencies in Magoffin County. Each time a crew from a neighboring county had to respond, according to 911 logs. County leaders say red tape at the state level is to blame for holding up life-saving services. According to a draft of House Bill 505, it would eliminate the need for a new ambulance service to obtain a certificate of need. The legislation, HB 505, would make the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services (KBEMS) an independent state government agency and provide more equal representation on its board. “There are several other counties in Eastern Kentucky going through [applying for a CON] like Magoffin County went through, and their [applications] are being held up,” Koch said. Fleming’s bill would restructure the duties of KBEMS, sending key responsibilities like licensing ambulances and data reporting to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. KBEMS would retain its authority over EMS personnel, including licensure and certification of personnel, regulatory authority, training and education, and personnel complaints investigations. The changes reflect the duties of other medical services boards like Kentucky’s Boards of Nursing and Medical Licensure. Under the provisions of HB 505, ambulance services would no longer need to obtain a certificate of need (CON) to operate. This would make Kentucky consistent with 48 other states that do not require CON for ambulance services. Stakeholders say the new duties and functions will help improve patient transport times, especially for “individuals facing potentially fatal situations.” In Eastern Kentucky, this could speed up the process for three counties currently seeking to obtain the CON to operate an ambulance service. It’s something existing providers in the area have fought applications in the past, though the current providers may be unable to keep up with the demand. “It’s something that we hear all the time that Kentucky is behind the times, behind times in numerous things, but I feel like this could take a step and get us ahead to make motions that people aren’t having to suffer for because of the choices of others,” Koch said. Aside from Kentucky, Hawaii is the only other state that requires a CON to open and operate an ambulance. The Kentucky bill would move forward to the Health and House Standing Committee on Health and Family Services. WSAZ reached out to the sponsor of the bill, Rep. Ken Flemming for a comment but hasn’t heard back yet.

The mobile revolution is happening! Increasingly, mobile smart phones and tablets are shifting our attention away from our desktop and laptop computers to our mobile devices. As consumers access the Internet from these devices, marketers need to be focused on finding shortcuts for quicker and easier entry points. Mobile tags and QR codes give mobile devices instant access to mobile communication. Following are 12 tips to best use these tips to understand the capabilities of smart phones for your next campaign. More and more of us are carrying palm top computers. We have desktops, laptops and now more and more of us have that third window — mobile smart phones. Tablets are another accessory that are aiding the shift away from computers to mobile devices. As we access the internet from these devices finding shortcuts for quicker and easier entry points is key. Mobile tags and QR codes give mobile devices instant access to mobile communication. Taking advantage of the opportunity that mobile and QR codes offer is a growing opportunity. For greater success follow these tips to understand and use the capabilities of smart phones for your next campaign. Learn about QR codes. Learn how they work, what they are capable of doing and how they can benefit both the client and the end user. Remember that QR codes are capable of using not only the smart phone’s camera, but GPS, phone, SMS, internet connection and more. Exploit those capabilities to the benefit of the client and the person scanning. Plan your QR Code campaign. Think Mobile. Optimize for mobile, include videos, interactivity, mobile coupons, fun and more. Forget about Flash or you will alienate iPhone carrying consumers. Resist the urge to create a QR code and slap it on an existing campaign with a simple link to the company’s website. You will certainly lose the impact and disappoint the end users. —The brick wall at right is the background from a flash-based restaurant site. That is all that iPhone users saw, not even the restaurant name is visible. Give something extra. Now is the time for creative thinking. QR codes are about offering a greater experience to the end-user which can create a fun and memorable campaign. Even providing video instructions or care and maintenance information can be a huge help. Have specific goals, call to action. By having specific goals for your QR codes you can measure their effectiveness and consumer response. Make sure to include forms to collect opt-in information. Understand QR Code management, tracking and analysis. You can gain great insight into the effectiveness of your campaigns like never before. QR codes are capable of being tracked in many ways giving greater understanding of the impact of marketing collateral and even press releases. Determine how and when the campaign or promotion will end. Running a special event, contest or sale is a great way to use QR Codes, don’t forget to add deadlines. Create the QR Code or Codes for the campaign. Many QR Code generators are available so pay attention to the options that are available especially for tracking and analytics. Some even offer the ability to change the destination of the code which can be a valuable option. If your QR code links to a website, don’t forget to use a URL shortener for a QR code that is easier to scan. Here is a great list of QR code Generators and a list of generators that offer tracking and analytics. Include instructions on how to scan QR codes. Remember that not everyone knows what QR codes are or that they can have fun scanning them. Perhaps list a few QR Code scanners that work on multiple platforms. • Open QR code scanner application on your smart phone. Point the phone’s camera at code, scanner will do the rest. Offer alternate response options. Offering alternate response paths, website URLs offers non-smart phone users the opportunity to participate. It also gives an opportunity to measure the response from different entry points. Test, Test, Test and Test again! Make sure to test your QR code to make sure that it resolves to the correct URL or content. Be sure to test using different types of smart phone platforms and QR code scanners/readers. Launch your QR Code campaign. Once the campaign is live you can begin to monitor the activity! The end-user can be greeted with a message simply saying that the promotion has ended. Re-purpose the message to a new campaign, a coupon, or video that still offers value to the scanner and the opportunity to continue to interact with new end users. The pictured QR code banner on the College of Human Environmental Sciences at the University of Alabama is a great example of the opportunity offered by QR Codes that live on. It began as a link for homecoming events. Then the message was tornado related information for the hard hit university and community of Tuscaloosa, Ala. Currently the QR Code gives information about the College of Human Environmental Sciences for the new semester. Just remember that you can change the message of a QR Code that points to a mobile optimized landing page! With some planning and forethought you can make your QR code campaign worth remembering and sharing! Read the 12 steps as they appeared at more at SpinSucks.com!

Why is running your data warehouse and your OLTP systems on the same server (instance) a bad idea? This is the 9th post in a series of twelve in Tim Fords Entry-Level Content Challenge. In this blog post, I will explain the basics of IO and the buffer cache/pool in a database and a way to measure this for queries in SQL Server. Then I will explain OLTP (OnLine Transactions Processing) and data warehouse type workloads. Finally, I will illustrate why mixing these two types of workloads on a single database instance is a bad idea. One of the optimizations a RDBMS uses to deliver query results faster, is the use of a memory cache called the “buffer cache,” or "buffer pool." Reading a block of data from memory is typically measured in microseconds, whereas reading a block of data from disk takes milliseconds. Internally in SQL server, a row is never persisted to disk alone, but always in blocks of 8k (also called pages). The buffer cache is a piece of memory, which holds these pages after they have been read from disk. The size of the buffer cache is determined at startup time for the SQL Server engine, but it is limited by the available physical memory in the server. Now, we see that all 692 pages are read from the buffer cache. SQL Server uses an algorithm called Least Recently Used (LRU) to determine which pages should stay in the cache. A consequence of the LRU algorithm is that pages in the buffer cache are kept longer in the cache if they are being used by queries. This is important when trying to understand database workloads. Workloads in an OLTP system is characterized by having many transactions with a small scope. Think of an ERP system like Dynamics NAV, where you look up a customer (data will probably be fetched using an index range scan followed by an index seek), add an order (dml with a couple of single row insert statements). Or looking up an item type in the warehouse system, and change the number of available items (probably an index range scan followed by an index seek and dml with a single row update statement). After some usage of the system, warm parts of the data will reside in the buffer cache, and user operations will mostly result in index seeks and small insert/update transactions. When running data warehouse queries, we are typically interested in all data available, maybe filtered on the current financial year. In a data warehouse, data is often organized in fact tables with business transaction data (eg. sales order lines), and dimension tables with master data (eg. customer or product). There is typically much more data in the fact tables than in the dimension tables. Many queries will be aggregations grouped by dimensions, something along the lines “give me the total number of products sold and total amount in DKK and USD of all products sold in this fiscal year, grouped by Month and Product category.” After some usage of the data warehouse, dimension data will reside in the buffer cache, and data warehouse queries will mostly result in full table/index scans of fact tables.

The Port of Bellingham has applied for the Georgia-Pacific waterfront site to be a pilot project in the U.S. Green Building Council’s new LEED for Neighborhood Development program. The program offers potential applicants the ability to participate in developing a rating system that uses principles of smart growth, urbanism, and green building to certify a neighborhood as meeting LEED standards. Until now, LEED has been used to certify only specific buildings or structures that meet such standards, not entire neighborhoods. The new certification process, once it is fully developed and launched in 2009, will provide an independent, third-party verification that a development’s location and design meet accepted high standards for environmentally responsible, sustainable development, according to the program’s Web site. LEED for Neighborhood Development is a collaboration of the U.S. Green Building Council, the Congress for the New Urbanism, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Mike Stoner, port environmental director, said the port applied for the pilot project program in April and expects a positive response. “We will get the benefit of their expertise on how to apply different concepts on a neighborhood scale, and they will get an understanding of the challenges of doing it in a real-world project,” Stoner said. If accepted, the U.S. Green Building Council would work with the port to establish ranking criteria that would meet LEED for Neighborhood Development’s objectives. He said port consultants are working to include these standards in the waterfront site’s environmental impact statement, and that all of the port’s proposed cleanup scenarios would fit with the LEED standards. The LEED criteria for ranking developments include standards addressing land, shorelines and water, as well as building materials and energy efficiency.

What is the fate of snow trapped in dunes? Active sand dune fields in cold climate regions commonly incorporate snow and ice from winter precipitation into their internal structure. Sediment transported by dune movement can bury snow, protecting it from solar input and warming. The hydrological importance of this system is not well studied, in particular the ability of such a system to trap and preserve ice that may be later be as stored groundwater. This ice trap may be important for understanding desert ecosystems on Earth, but may also represent an analog mechanism for buildup of ice below the mid-latitude surface of Mars. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) imaging was used to investigate the depths of a dune for ice layers in the Red Desert, Wyoming. Data loggers were used to monitor the temperatures and moisture contents of the subsurface surrounding directly observed ice lenses within the dune. The ERT survey revealed that subsurface ice lenses are not incorporated into the dune over long periods. This was consistent with the results of two consecutive seasons of data logger data, which revealed a three-stage life cycle of the ice lens, with eventual complete disappearance of ice in the dune by the end of the warm seasons. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) logging revealed an increasing water content of the dune with depth under ice lenses. This transport and entrapment mechanism for protected snow represents a possible explanation for observations of shallow subsurface ice at mid latitudes on Mars.

And we’re back! Following a lengthy halfway break, the Bundesliga returns on Friday. Just a quick recap, Leipzig are leading at the summit with Monchengladbach, Bayern Munich and Dortmund breathing down their necks. And on the opposite end of the standings, Dusseldorf, Werder Bremen and Paderborn occupy the relegation places. I think that’s enough catching up for now, let’s get to round 18’s action. Schalke ended off 2019 with back-to-back draws and will be looking to kick-start 2019 with a victory. Monchengladbach are just two points off the log leaders Leipzig and should they come away with maximum points here, they will return to the top of the table, at least for the time being. Six of the last eight meetings between these sides seen both teams find the back of the net. Follow the pattern and take Both Teams to Score – Yes – at 11/20. Hoffenheim went into the break in good form, bagging two wins on the bounce, scoring four times and conceding just once. Eintracht Frankfurt are without a victory in the last seven matches, including three consecutive defeats. That’s enough said. The form doesn’t lie and while the Eagles would have had plenty of time to learn from all their mistakes, Hoffenheim would have done the same and are only looking to improve. The home win is on the cards. Relegation-threatened Fortuna Dusseldorf ended the year with a 2-1 home win over Union Berlin. That victory also ended a run of three straight losses. Werder Bremen are just one point and a place below their opponents but have lost their last four games. Goals have been hard to come by for both sides and I’m predicting a low-scoring affair. The Totals – Under 2.5 Goals – market is tipped at 5/4. Next up, Mainz will play host to Freiburg at the Opel Arena on Saturday evening and have lost three of their last four matches. The reverse fixture ended 3-0 in favour of Freiburg and I’m backing them to pull off the double. Get on the away win at 21/10. Augsburg have won their last three matches at home, scoring nine goals and conceding just once in the process. Dortmund, for their standards, have been inconsistent to say the least. And while I feel they still should win; Augsburg’s home record should not be underestimated. Goals look a certainty here. The last eight meetings between these sides have seen both teams get on the scoresheet. Back Both Teams to Score – Yes – at 9/20. Cologne went into the break in fine fettle with three wins on the spin, scoring seven goals and conceding just twice. Wolfsburg have battled to maintain winning form but that won’t stop them from going for maximum points on Saturday afternoon. A goal fest looks likely with both sides expected to attack the game. The Totals – Over 2.5 Goals – market should be backed at 17/20. Leipzig are unbeaten in their last 11 matches in all competitions, including eight wins and three draws. Union Berlin have lost back-to-back games, scoring just once and conceding four times and have managed just one win from eight travels. I’m anticipating a bloodbath on Saturday with the Red Bulls likely to smash the newcomers. Take Leipzig on the (-1) Handicap at 7/10. Hertha Berlin made a rocky start to the 2019/20 campaign but towards the halfway mark, started showing vast improvement as they now remain undefeated in their last four matches. Bayern Munich have been nowhere near their best in third place. However, they have won three games in a row and will be looking to build on that as they continue to defend their title as champions of Germany. There’s not much value for money here, but Bayern are tipped for the win. To close off the round, basement-dwellers Paderborn will be desperate to bag a point, let alone three when they play host to Bayer Leverkusen. The latter have done as well as you can expect from them as they occupy sixth place on the standings. It was a cagey 1-0 victory to Bayer Leverkusen in the reverse tie but I’m keeping my faith in them. Back the away team to edge the win and pull the double off. Written by Aaron Crowie for Hollywoodbets.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps to greatly reduce the risk of limb amputation, because it stimulates the production of stem cells that regenerate tissue. Diseases such as diabetes, severe skin damage, sports injuries, arterial venous insufficiency and deficiency in the more advanced and severe stages, can lead to amputation of the limb affected by the disease. In this case, the time factor is crucial, and must be exploited to the fullest.

But if someone kills millions of cows, pigs, turkeys or chickens and swallows them, then it's a personal choice that should be respected...? That makes no sense. Nobody says 'be hostile towards meat eaters', but if you kill someone for pleasure when you could simply choose not to, of course that 'personal choice' should be shamed. It is no longer a personal choice, it's abusing a sentient, defenseless being. I'm sure you were raised in decent living conditions, allowed to roam free and play around. But that wouldn't justify someone killing you, either.

Vehicle Chocolates was born out of what we fondly refer to as the Perfect Storm. Our storm consisted of a global pandemic that significantly affected all of our careers, a drive to be creative and to understand a post Covid world, a hunch that something was missing in the myco food space and an immeasurable passion for functional mushrooms and chocolate. 2020 offered the inspiration we needed to manifest Vehicle Chocolates into reality. With round after round of recipe testing, sourcing all natural organic ingredients and each taking turns over who gets to lick the spoon, Vehicle Chocolates emerged. Each delicious bar is crafted to challenge expectations of what is possible with both mushrooms and chocolate. We hope these nutrient-packed ingredients will inspire empathy as you share these chocolates with others.

The Roth IRA is an after-tax retirement account available at nearly every brokerage in the U.S. After-tax means you have already paid taxes on the money you invest. Growth is also tax free. Then, years later at retirement (specifically 59.5 years of age per current IRS rules), you withdraw the money tax-free. This is precisely why the Roth IRA is so valuable! Note that you can also withdraw your contributions tax and penalty free at any time, although you shouldn’t unless faced with an emergency. The 2021 IRS contribution limit is $6k per person, but there is a stipulation that you must have earned income equalling or exceeding your contribution amount. If you file married-joint, the income of your spouse will suffice for meeting this requirement. This means that each of you can contribute $6k per year, even if one of you doesn’t work. For those age 50 or older, there is a $1k per year catch up contribution allowed, bringing the total to $7k for 2020. Note that you have until April 15th of the following year to contribute to your Roth IRA. You read that right, if you open a Roth IRA right now you can contribute the max for 2020 as long as you do so prior to April 15th! Then, you have the rest of the year to work toward maximizing your 2021 contribution and getting that hot start to retirement. Popular choices include Vanguard, Fidelity, and Charles Schwab. All of these brokerages will have an array of fund choices, many of which will carry very low expense ratios in the range of 0 to .10. Based on your individual preferences, you’ll be able to choose from stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs. If you want an even simpler approach, you can select a Target Date Fund (TDF) that has a risk level that corresponds with your estimated retirement date. Considering I am, or have been, a customer of each of these, I can tell you that they all have their own advantages and disadvantages, but overall, they are all excellent brokerages. Signing up is easy on all three of their websites. That’s not to say other brokerages aren’t good as well, but you’ll need to watch for things like excessive fees, annuity products, hidden life insurance products, and other predatory tactics. Remember, you can do this yourself, you don’t need the brokerage to “advise” you. In order to contribute directly to a Roth IRA, the IRS stipulates income limits. For single filers, the income phaseouts start at $125k and $198k, and completely phase out at $140k and $208k. If your income falls within these thresholds your contribution will be reduced or eliminated altogether. Don’t fret, this isn’t a deal breaker. There is a tried and true method to still contribute to a Roth IRA - and it’s on the up and up! I would explain this method in detail, but the fine people over at Bogleheads.org have done it so well that I can’t do it justice. Check out their detailed article on how to navigate the Backdoor Roth IRA. In short, you contribute non-deductible contributions to a Traditional IRA, then convert those funds to a Roth IRA using the process outlined by Bogleheads.org. There are some considerations if you already have an existing IRA, so please be sure to read up. Once the process is complete, you’ll have Roth IRA funds with the same tax status as you would have gained by using the normal contribution process, voila! So you’ve successfully signed up for a Roth IRA and now you’re probably wondering what funds your money should be invested in. Good, that’s a really good question and picking the right funds for you is key in sleeping well at night. There is honestly no set way of doing things. Personally, I am a huge proponent of index funds, i.e. funds that track market indices. By investing in these, you are guaranteeing yourself nearly the same return that the entire market gets. In other words, if you are invested in an S&P 500 index fund, and on Tuesday the S&P 500 gained 1.2%, you can assume you’ve gained around 1.2%. Using these funds, I employ the “set it and forget it” technique. I buy more of the fund everytime I make a contribution and then forget about it. When I reach 50 years old, I’ll start to re-examine my strategy due to my shorter investment horizon. My fund of choice in the Roth IRA is the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Admiral Shares (VTSAX). For you, it may be preferable to buy individual stocks. Maybe you want a little more conservative of an approach so you pick a TDF that coincides with your projected retirement year. Either way, the important thing here is ensuring that your money is actively invested. Give this money a chance to grow and it will reward you for years to come. The absolute worst thing you can do is build a large Roth IRA balance that sits in a money market fund for 20 years. You can thank me later while you’re touring Europe on a riverboat. (NOTE: This is still not financial advice). The Roth IRA gives a different kind of flexibility in retirement - a tax free one. Because of this, you can create a plan that avoids unexpected tax events during your retirement years. Maybe you’ve been retired 5 years and decide you want a new car but are worried about how much money you have pulled from your 401(k)? Well, by using the Roth IRA for this you’ll avoid the dreaded federal and state (sometimes) income tax. Maybe you want to do a home renovation - same thing. Having this large sum of tax free money creates options, and in retirement, having options is often the difference between success and failure. You knew this part was coming - let’s get down to the numbers. If you contribute $6k annually from age 22 until retirement at 57, you’ll have approximately $570k at a 5% return. That means if you and your spouse both do this, you’ll have over $1MM of tax-free funds available at retirement. Can you imagine being a tax-free millionaire? I can… that’s exactly why my wife and I hit our contribution limits each year. Keep in mind these numbers aren’t even accounting for the IRS increasing the contribution limit, which they review annually against inflation. They also didn’t account for catch up contributions after age 50. Now that you’ve got a clear understanding of the Roth IRA and are opening an account as we speak (I hope), let’s say you apply the logic that AJ Sheff laid out in his recent YouTube video and start upping your 401(k) contributions at work. You now have a pretty clear path to $2MM+ in your mid fifties. See, that wasn’t that hard! I think you get the point. Open a Roth IRA today!

Stay in place orders, self-quarantine. The virus ongoing. Writings on how the American antique world will be different when the pandemic ends. Dealers concerned about buying and selling, revenue diminished. Brimfield cancelled. The times have changed. What the “new normal” will look like in American antiques I do not know. And a collector can tell. Half and full page ads in the April 10th issue of The Bee in glorious color from good dealers. Dealers responding to 90% off on ad costs, even authors such as mysefl. Websites being added to and updated. Email blasts going out to listservs. One video tour of a dealer shop led to me purchasing a great pair of Connecticut silver sugar tongs – sweet indeed! Dealers reaching out to clients. Sales being made. No, none of this can make up for cancelled shows and auctions delayed or only on-line. But it is good to see dealers are focused on selling. I wonder how the buying is going, however. House calls in a “locked down” state probably out of the question. Dealer to dealer buying ongoing? I do not know. But the dealer ads in print (on-line for The Bee refreshed me. It used to be that way before dealers turned to the internet and only a few advertised. I liked it. Seeing great items. The ADA with an on-line show. Keep at it dealers! Much appreciated.

Edinburgh has come top in a value-for-money survey of major conference destinations carried out by Visit Britain. The Scottish capital was rated ahead of Brussels and Glasgow in the study, which was based on the cost of holding a typical association meeting and exhibition for 1,500 delegates, accommodation for 1,300 and a gala dinner for 1,000. Edinburgh quoted a cost of £624,558, which was £25,000 less than second-placed Brussels. Other cities considered in the review were Paris, Vienna, Barcelona, Singapore, Hong Kong, Geneva and New York. Edinburgh Convention Bureau (ECB) chief executive Sue Stuart said: "At a time when costs are a key factor in the decisions taken by associations about where to hold their events, it's important for a destination that we are seen to be providing value for money." According to new figures, the ECB recorded 23 event bookings in the month up to 10 November, which will attract up to 4,600 delegates to the Scottish capital and generate 5.1m for the local economy. The wins include a major NHS Scotland conference and a Financial Services Authority meeting, both in 2010.

Link to word document here: podcast assignment. So far this semester, we’ve processed material about hoaxes in many genres—we’ve read stories and articles, seen pictures, listened to radio broadcasts, and watched television shows and films. We’ve considered how people attempt to establish authority and believability in each of these media. For your second assignment, you will demonstrate your ability to adapt to the needs of a new genre by producing a short podcast discussing a hoax. So, you will need to take full advantage of the podcast form—not just read an essay aloud. You have the option to either create a 3-5 minute podcast on your own, or work with one partner to create a 7-10 minute podcast. You can choose any hoax you’d like (or even make up one of your own if you’re feeling creative), blending information and entertainment by utilizing the types of strategies we will have heard while listening to podcasts for class—for example, a hook to draw in listeners, background information to set the scene, interviews with eye witnesses or experts, clips of “found footage” (that you are welcome, and encouraged, to fabricate), music and/or sound effects (Creative Commons licensed!), and some sort of claim about the bigger picture significance of your topic. You may take any approach to this podcast: it can be an earnest news report, a comedic analysis of the hoax, a meditative or lyrical reflection, or something else entirely. We will have a guest speaker on 10/1 who will give you technical guidance on how to produce a podcast, and we will figure out a “casting” process for those of you who need to recruit another voice. In addition to your podcast, you must submit a 1-page, single-spaced reflection that tells me 1) how you achieved your “vision” for the podcast, 2) what you think was most successful, 3) what you found most challenging, 4) how you made the most of the podcast form, 5) how you met learning objectives 1 & 2 (from the syllabus) and 6) what you would do differently if you were to rework your podcast. If you worked with a partner, include an extra paragraph in which you explain your contribution to the project. Also include links to any sources you’ve used with a brief description. This project is worth 15% of your final grade: 75% of that will come from the podcast and 25% from the reflection. If you have a partner, you will share the podcast grade unless it is clear that one person did the majority of the work. You will have your own grade for your reflections. An “A” project will be engaging from beginning to end, drawing in the listener, and leaving them wanting more. It will take full advantage of the podcast format, incorporating sounds, music, multiple voices, or other techniques. It will be clear that serious thought went in to creating a personalized, unified “brand.” It will include at least one interview, and will make other rhetorical appeals to engage the listener. It will be planned and scripted, but sound conversational. It will be tightly composed, without extraneous dialogue or sounds. The accompanying reflection will be detailed, thoughtful, complete, and grammatically correct. The podcast is posted to the course website with an engaging title and the reflection is emailed to me. 10/6 Script due. Include not just what will be said, but where you want music, sound effects, etc. 10/17 Final podcast due w/ reflection. Upload the podcast to the course site and email me the reflection.

Directed by Shaji Kailas and featuring actor Prithviraj Sukumaran as 'Kotta Madhu', a character inspired by Sabu, Kaapa is based on the gang wars in Kerala’s capital city in the 1990s and the first decade of this millennium. Gold stars Nayanthara and Prithviraj in the lead. As we compile our worst Malayalam movies list of 2022, Mohanlal gets three entries in it. And in the year he gave us the superlative Drishyam 2. Kaapa film review: Prithviraj's act as Madhu is hard to buy as he comes across as an indecisive and unwise criminal, despite being the head of a crime syndicate. Prithviraj Sukumaran has spoken out in support of Pathaan stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone. Prithviraj Sukumaran joins the cast of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which stars Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in the lead roles. Gold: What's going on Prithviraj, Alphonse Puthren? Is Prithviraj miffed with Alphonse Puthren? Does the actor-filmmaker think Gold is beyond saving and decided to distance himself from the film, so it won't hurt him much, should it fail? What is going on with the makers of Malayalam movie Gold. Salaar is directed by Prashanth Neel, known for helming the blockbuster KGF franchise. The film is expected to release in September 2023. Besides his prolific portfolio as a filmmaker and actor, Prithviraj's other standout feature of his star status is his unapologetic nature.

Carol Collier, executive director of the Delaware River Basin Commission, illustrates her point about approaching drought conditions during a recent meeting of the Upper Delaware Council. Impending drought conditions are not the only concern of the DRBC, which is facing serious budget shortfalls this year. When established as an interstate regulatory agency comprised of the four states in the Delaware River Basin (New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware) and the federal government, each state agreed to provide equitable apportionments of the DRBC’s operating budget. share is proposed in the fiscal year 2013 budget. The letters point out that the cuts, in addition to the federal government’s longstanding cumulative DRBC funding shortfall that is now in excess of $9 million, seriously jeopardize the DRBC’s ability to function. “The cuts could have a devastating impact throughout the basin by threatening the continuation of vital, cooperative projects and partnerships sponsored or facilitated by the commission,” the UDC asserts. Collier also detailed the water quality monitoring initiatives the agency is involved in. DRBC would like to do more macroinvertebrate studies in the region as well as expand main stem river monitors to include more tributaries. Regarding DRBC’s proposed regulations for natural gas development, Collier reported that although DRBC commissioners have been participating in bi-weekly phone calls, the chair of the Army Corps of Engineers is calling for a face-to-face meeting. The next DRBC commissioners meeting is scheduled for May 10. Visit www.state.nj.us/drbc for more information.

DEL MAR – Council members discussed three proposals at the April 20 meeting to improve community engagement and better inform the public and each other, but opted to move forward with only two of the recommendations. Dwight Worden and Sherryl Parks make up a council ad hoc committee tasked with creating ways to better address community outreach and engagement for committees, advisory boards and City Council. “We picked out somewhat randomly two items … to try this out and see how it works,” Worden said. Their colleagues support a suggestion to hold periodic workshops in residents’ homes. The meeting topics would focus on the concerns of people in a specific area of the city. The gatherings would take place a few times a year in a different neighborhood each time. Worden said home meetings would eliminate the “formality” of council chambers. Worden and Parks will also work to set up a mentoring program in which former council and committee members share their volunteer experiences. The plan includes producing short video testimonials. Worden said the program could increase public participation by helping people better understand what City Council and advisory committee members do. “It really would bode well for recruiting more people,” Parks said. Sinnott said in addition to describing the role of each group, the mentors should list what they accomplish. “People will sign up to do volunteer work if they know they’re getting something very valuable done,” Sinnott said. “I think the goals are great and I encourage us to figure out how to do it,” Mayor Al Corti said. Council members were less enthusiastic about a proposal to develop a webpage where they could post items of interest between public meetings. In their report, Worden and Parks noted the Brown Act does not allow discussion of any topic of city business, or collective decision-making, by a majority or more of council members outside of a publicly noticed and open meeting. Currently when they want to share information about what occurred during a committee meeting, council members send the information to the city manager, who ensures it is appropriate and then forwards it to their colleagues. The public doesn’t see the information unless the city manager posts it as part of his weekly update. Information must be nonpolitical and factual only, with no opinions added. As proposed the webpage would be read only. Comments from council members or the public would be prohibited. “I must say that I am very firmly opposed to this idea because I think it opens us up to Brown Act violations,” Councilman Don Mosier said. “In Del Mar almost any statement you make is political. I’m trying to envision what you could put on this page. If it’s public information it’s already available. “I think our job is to tell people in a public forum when we’re meeting as a council, not to put up little bits of information on a website,” he added. “I don’t think that’s our role as City Council to be the communicators. Corti said he has mixed feelings about the proposal. His concerns include the amount of staff time that would be required to monitor and manage the page.

We are using the Gateway Payment Bundle with the eStore plugin. Since the Gateway Payment Bundle allows us to use PayPal Payment Pro we collect all credit card and billing address information on our website and customers never see the PayPal website. I need to know how to handle the situation when a customer wants to cancel an order. Can this be done automatically through the Gateway Payment Bundle? Everything I see about cancelling orders requires customers to interface with the PayPal website. Since our customers never see the PayPal website and in fact they don't know that we are using PayPal at all. Under this configuration, what is the recommended process for processing order cancellations? Hi, you can cancel a PayPal Pro subscription from the Payment Gateway Bundle Settings (Settings->Payment Gateway Bundle->Subscription Settings). Thanks but this is not what I was asking about. I want know if a customer can automatically cancel their own orders, not the website owner. If a customer wants to cancel an order what is the process for doing that? Can the do it themselves or do they have to send us an e-mail asking us to do it manually? They have to sent you an email/contact.
