On the hypothesis that changes of cerebral function of this order may be detected by psychomotor testing a comprehensive computer program named ‘Psychom’ has been developed to perform this task based on responses to sound and visual stimuli. An IBM x86 compatible personal computer (PC) was used for the development of the software, data acquisition and analysis. Modern PCs of this family allow the production of both sound and visual stimuli, using interface devices such as push buttons and measure the time with very high precision (up to processor frequency). The Windows NT operating system was chosen as the software platform. The programming language used for the software development was C++ with Borland C++ Builder 6, as interactive development environment (IDE). Visual component library (VCL) was used as the basis for the program. The hardware interaction between the user and the software has been accomplished via two custom-made push button switches. Technology from a standard USB/PC2 mouse controller has been used for the development of the switches. The developed system allows the operator to design, save and load different experimental protocols with windows based easy-to-use visual interface. The duration and nature (fixed or random time intervals) of both stimuli can be easily configured by the user using a drop down selection menu. During an experiment the system continually collects data and performs basic statistical analysis corresponding to the subject's visual and/or sound responses. The statistical results can be viewed at the end of the experiment using a specially designed adjustable viewer. Also, during acquisition, the data are saved in a file in a format that can be easily accessed and used for further offline processing and analysis by conventional commercial statistical packages. Preliminary laboratory tests were carried out on healthy volunteers to evaluate the functionality of the system. An experimental protocol has been suggested and implemented. This protocol allows the generation of sound and visual stimuli to run simultaneously at random intervals (1–3 s) for a period of 3 min. Two volunteers, one that is accustomed and one that is not accustomed to drinking alcohol, were selected to perform the tests before and after the intake of 100 ml of 40% alcohol. The performance of the system was successful and statistical results were automatically generated at the end of the test. The reaction times for visual stimuli before and after the intake of alcohol were 393 and 560 ms correspondingly. Similarly for the sound stimuli the reaction times were 433 and 602 ms. In the subject accustomed to alcohol no significant effect was found. These preliminary encouraging results confirm the successful operation of this new software system and suggest further evaluation on more rigorous clinical studies. **Keywords:** anaesthetics gases, nitrogen; brain, cerebral function; brain, psychomotor tests **Reference** 1 White DC, Lockwood GG. *Br J Anaesth* 2003; **91**: 465P

Aztec Death Whistle In Aztec mythology, Ehecatl ("wind") was the god of wind, an aspect of Quetzalcoatl. His breath moved the sun and pushed away rain. Theories are, that the Aztecs played this mournful wail from the so-called "Whistles of Death" or "the Roar of Death" before they were sacrificed to the gods. Or, Nobility was escorted into the death state by Ehecatl, summoned by thousands of their subjects blowing the Death Whistle. Or, meant to help the deceased journey into the underworld, while tribes are said to have emitted terrifying sounds to fend off enemies. Experts also believe pre-Columbian tribes used some of the instruments to send the human brain into a dream state and treat certain illnesses. The ancient whistles called Ehekachiktli, could guide research into how rhythmic sounds alter heart rates and states of consciousness. This is part of a growing field of study that includes archaeologists, musicians and historians. Medical doctors are interested too, believing the Aztecs may have used sound to treat illnesses.

Properties of Inulin and its usage in Food Products Karolina Jelnicka Institute of Agricultural and Food Biotechnology Division of Meat and Fat Technology Warsaw, Poland Since the roles of dietary fibers in preventing and treating some diseases have been well documented, the addition of purified dietary fibers to food has become more popular. Different types of dietary fibers, such as pea, apple, sugar beet, soy and citrus fibers, as well as inulin and gums are now incorporated into foods for their nutritional properties or for their functional and technological properties (e.g., gelling or thickening properties). Dietary fiber intake in European countries is currently estimated to be 3 – 11 g per person per day. However, nutritionists recommend intakes of ~ 25 g per person per day. The development of fiber – enriched foods would help consumers to meet such recommendation. The aim of this study was to estimate 3% inulin addition influence to model margarine on its sensory evaluation. The color, taste, spreadability and melting have been taken into account through the whole evaluation process. Sensorial analysis was carried out according to PN – A – 86936 Norm. Received results for experimental margarines (with inulin) were compared with model margarine (without fiber) and also to margarine with 3% oats addition. The results of the research showed that the margarines containing inulin had good sensory quality. Sensorial evaluation of experimental margarine with inulin didn't show any deviation from the model margarine. Inulin had a positive effect on the taste, spreadability and texture of final products, unlike with margarine with oats addition. In the case of inulin – as example of soluble dietary fiber – the structure of margarine was creamy, smooth and homogeneous. In the case of oats fiber, the structure was not homogeneous and fiber could be sensed. After analyzing the results, we can state that selection of dietary fiber to be used in food production is significant. Fiber solubility in water-phase of the product is an important factor.

THE SONGS OF DISTANT EARTH Lyrics and Music © 1987 by Bill Roper D F G A The melody is over, the last transmission done. C D G A The cool of Earth is turned to flame with the dying of the sun. D G E A The nova flare will burn away the world of mankind's birth G D6 Cmaj7 D6 And fire will be the ending of the songs of distant Earth. D Am C D The sentence was pronounced, the death of Earth would come. D Am G D The sun burn briefly bright, all history'd be done. G D C D And all the things they cared for -- the laughter and the tears D C Am D Would be ended by the nova's flame in fifteen hundred years. But although die they must, Man might outlive his home. The stars were waiting there with planets of their own. The telescopes peered outward, the probes were sent to fly, To seek a world that they might seed, that Mankind need not die. No man of Earth may walk beneath a foreign sun, But the seedships sent their life -- a new race has begun. On twenty worlds we've gathered -- the human voice grows strong. And we carry on their writing, their poetry, their song. The melody is over, but the echoes linger on From the seeds of life they planted 'gainst the dying of the sun. The echo's growing stronger as it calls of Man's rebirth And a score of worlds are singing now the songs of distant Earth. This is, of course, the plot setup for Arthur C. Clarke's "The Songs of Distant Earth", which I recommend that you read some time. There are no spoilers here for the novel. This is one of very few songs that I've written where the literary reference is trivially observable. And look! I succeeded in writing a pretty song. All I had to do was blow up the bloody planet.

The easiest way to address an education RFE is to avoid one in the first place.  If you are, or if your employee or client is applying for H-1B visa status, here are three circumstances in which an credential evaluation is essential to preempt any education issues on the road to visa approval: 1. Three-Year Bachelor’s Degree If the H-1B worker has a three-year bachelor’s degree a credential evaluation is needed to account for the missing fourth year.  This is even the case if the three-year program had the same or greater classroom contact hours than a traditional US four-year program.  A work experience conversion where three years of work experience in the field of the H-1B job is converted into one year of college credit in that degree specialization is needed to account for the missing fourth year.  This conversion can be completed by a professor authorized to grant college credit for work experience. 2. Degree Earned Outside of the United States An academic credential evaluation must be written to clearly show USCIS what this foreign degree means in terms of US educational standards.  Sometimes the evaluation is straightforward.  Sometimes, a work experience conversion, a close examination of course content, or citing precedent decisions and federal caselaw is needed. 3. Mismatched Degree Specialization For over five years, USCIS has been issuing education RFEs if the degree specialization is not an exact match for the H-1B job, even if it is in a related field.  This is a problem because employers will hire workers with degrees in related specializations, but then USCIS will not approve their visas.  To address this issue, a detailed credential evaluation is needed to write the equivalent of the required degree in the exact specialization of the H-1B job.  This requires a close look at course content, additional training and education in the field, and often a work experience conversion. All of these situations require an academic credential evaluation written uniquely to address the beneficiary, the visa, the job, the education, and USCIS approval trends.  Even if the H-1B beneficiary has no college, incomplete college, or a degree from an unaccredited institution, the right evaluation can show how their non-traditional pathway through education has qualified them for the H-1B job in terms of US academic standards. At CCI, all of our credential evaluations are written uniquely by expert evaluators.  We work with professors who have the authority to make work experience conversions. For a free review of your case visit  We will respond in 4 hours or less. Sheila Danzig Sheila Danzig is the director of CCI  Sheila specializes in overturning RFEs and Denials for work visas.

Hot air balloon accident How common are hot air balloon accidents? Since 1964, the National Transportation Safety Board has investigated 775 hot air balloon incidents in the United States, 70 involving fatalities. Sixteen people died while hot air ballooning from 2002 to 2012, the NTSB said. How dangerous is hot air balloon? Statistics from the National Transportation Safety Board indicate there have been 760 hot air balloon accidents in the United States since 1964. In those accidents , 967 people have been injured and 73 people have been killed. Thirty seven of those fatalities have taken place since 2000. When was the last hot air balloon accident? 2013 Luxor hot air balloon crash SU-283 (back center), the balloon involved in the accident , on the morning of its fatal flight Date 26 February 2013 Summary Fire on board, envelope deflation Site Luxor, Egypt Has anyone died from a hot air balloon? In 2016, the deadliest hot air balloon accident in U.S. history occurred in Texas, when a sightseeing balloon filled with 15 passengers and a pilot hit a set of power lines and crashed. All 16 people died . Can a bird pop a hot air balloon? Basically nothing happens when a bird hits a hot air balloon . So it’s nearly impossible to surprise a bird with a balloon . In the rare case that it happens, the bird will fly into the balloon and bounces right out. The bird doesn’t have the capability to fly through the fabric. What happens if a hot air balloon gets a hole? What happens if a hot air balloon gets a hole ? The balloon would fall to the ground. A hot air balloon stays aloft because of buoyancy; warm air is less dense than the air around it, so it rises, pushing the balloon up. You might be interested:  No fault states car accident Can you fall out of a hot air balloon? A balloon will never take flight without optimal weather conditions (more on that later), and your pilot is very well trained. Although you won’t be strapped into the basket, it’s tall enough to come up to the rib cage of a person of average height. You ‘re not going to fall out . Do you wear a parachute in a hot air balloon? DO BALLOONISTS CARRY PARACHUTES ? Not usually. If the burner goes out and for some reason cannot be reignited, the balloon acts as a parachute and descends at parachute speed (about 17 feet per second). How hot is it in a hot air balloon? Are hot air balloons safer than airplanes? “The balloons themselves are by far the safest aircraft in the sky, mainly because they have significantly less mechanical parts than , say, a plane or helicopter,” said Bob Fisher, a veteran pilot. How much does it cost to go up in a hot air balloon? The cost of a hot air balloon ride is usually determined by several variables. But generally speaking, each ride runs about $200 – $300 per person. However, with a Groupon, you a find similar hot air balloon ride prices for as low as $129 per person, including a post-flight champagne toast. Are hot air balloons scary? The wind that moves the hot air balloon isn’t scary in the slightest. As a matter of fact, you can’t even feel the wind, because you will be traveling with the wind. This means it will be just like standing in your kitchen, only with one heck of a view! You might be interested:  Car accident insurance claim How many passengers fit in a hot air balloon? eight passengers What’s more dangerous skydiving or hot air balloon? Is Hot Air Ballooning Safer Than Skydiving ? There are more fatalities related to skydiving , however the non-fatal accident rate is higher for hot air balloons . Do Hot air balloons fly in the rain? In good weather, hot air balloons are the safest form of flying . A skilled pilot will be able to land a balloon in the rain , but because of the risks, will never fly if it is raining or rain is forecast.

Thank you Many thanks to all of you who came along to our January consultation events – it was great to see so many of you and good to hear that a massive 94% of you found it useful. There are more results from the consultation overleaf. For those of you who were unable to attend or if you would just like to see the designs again please contact Natalie Down – see details on page two and she will arrange this for you. Please don’t worry We understand that there have been a number of rumours circulating around the Estate and we want to reassure you that: • All Affinity Sutton tenants will remain on the Estate and retain their security of tenure – this will be the same tenancy as you have now which is either a secure or an assured tenancy. • No Affinity Sutton tenant will be evicted because of the redevelopment. • Your rents will remain at social rent – you will NOT be changed to affordable rent levels (up to 80% of market rent) when you move. • 318 or 75% of the homes on the Estate will be for social rent – this will be about 259 new apartments plus the 79 apartments in Leverstock and Mayland. Our aim continues to be to provide well designed, good quality homes that secure the future of social rented housing on the Estate and within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea for both you and our future tenants. Consultation events Over 90 tenants attended the tenant consultation and public consultation events in January. Key findings were: - A 10% increase to 77% of tenants agreeing or strongly agreeing that the redevelopment will provide an improved living environment for them. (June 2014 67%) - A massive 94% of respondents found the consultation event useful. - Most tenants (86%) agree or strongly agree that they feel well informed about the redevelopment. - 71% agree or strongly agree that they have had the opportunity to tell Affinity Sutton their views on the proposed redevelopment. - Overall, a majority of tenants (74%) are content with the progress that has been made by Affinity Sutton on these proposals. - Of those that had attended a previous consultation event, 78% are content with the progress that has been made by Affinity Sutton on these proposals. - 64% of tenants had attended a previous consultation event, and 36% had not. Key themes that emerged from the events are: - You increasingly understand the need for redevelopment and that refurbishment is not a viable solution. - Many of you are looking forward to your new homes and want the redevelopment to happen sooner. Comments included: - "Would like it to happen sooner [redevelopment]" - "Can’t wait for my new flat, they will be very nice" - "Hope planning permission goes ahead" - Tenants commented that they felt a lot more informed this time round and were pleased to have seen more information on phasing and on the moving process. Comments included: - "We need information and this event gave that to us, staff are very good and helpful" - "All I wanted to know is when I’d have to move and now I know that." If you do have any queries or concerns about the redevelopment please do not hesitate to contact Natalie Down, your resident liaison manager on 0300 100 0303 or you can email Natalie on firstname.lastname@example.org. And please do keep an eye on the noticeboards that are on display in each block as we will be regularly updating these.

Kidnapped Iraqi athletes found dead The remains of members of a martial arts team, missing for a year, have been discovered in a ditch The skulls, bones and tattered clothing of a team of Iraqi martial arts experts have been found more than a year after they disappeared, presumed kidnapped, in an al-Qaeda stronghold west of Baghdad. At least 13 bodies were found in a ditch out in the desert about 60 miles west of Ramadi in Anbar province, one of Iraq's most violent areas and where al-Qaeda and Sunni Arab insurgents are battling American and Iraqi forces. Plastic athletic sandals lay scattered on the ground near the bodies. All had been shot. The remains were taken to Imam Ali Hospital in Baghdad's predominantly Shia Sadr City neighbourhood, home to most of the athletes, where they were DNA tested. The men were members of a private sports club that hopes to one day send members to the Olympics. Weeping relatives yesterday gathered at the hospital to try to identify the bodies. 'The bodies were very badly decomposed. Just the bones and clothes remained,' said Qasim al-Mudalal, the director of Imam Ali Hospital. The 15 tae kwon do experts were abducted in May 2006 as they were travelling by bus through the Anbar desert on their way to a training camp in Jordan. Two of the athletes are unaccounted for although Mudalal suggested partial remains were also recovered. The Iraqi government had tried to secure their release but no word had been heard of them until last week's grisly find. 'They were killed about the same time they were taken. They were killed and left in the desert,' said Hameed al-Hai'es, head of a Sunni Arab group that has been fighting al-Qaeda in Anbar. He said the men had not been wearing their team uniforms and family members had been able to identify most of them by the clothes they were wearing. An identity card was also found on one body belonging to 26-year-old squad member Haidar Jabbar. Hai'es said members of the Anbar Salvation Council, a group of local Sunnis who have been fighting al-Qaeda in the province, found the bodies after an al-Qaeda captive told them where the athletes had been killed. Funeral processions were beginning last night in Sadr City. The families said they had permission to bury the bodies in the southern holy Shia city of Najaf despite a four-day curfew. Iraqi athletes were rarely able to travel abroad during Saddam Hussein's rule because of UN sanctions. Athletes looked forward to international competitions and more funding after Saddam was toppled in 2003 but many have since been kidnapped and killed in Iraq's relentless fighting between majority Shia and Sunni Arabs. Ali Kanoun, said his cousin, Rasoul Salah, one of the victims, was never involved in politics. 'His dream was to represent his country in sports, but instead he was killed,' said Kanoun. Athletes and sports officials have increasingly become targets of threats, kidnappings and assassination attempts in Iraq, either as part of sectarian violence or for ransom. Victims include the Sunni head of one of Iraq's leading football clubs, an Iraqi international football referee and a top footballer on the Iraqi Olympic team. Gunmen also kidnapped the chairman of Iraq's National Olympic Committee and at least 30 other officials last year.

Academic Procrastination and Causal Perception of Tabor • T Tamiru The present study focused on examining the extent of relationship between academic procrastination and causal attribution of success or failure. It investigated sex difference in academic procrastination and causal attribution of achievement. A sample of 499 and 372 of Tabor high school students (grades 9-12) were used for the study. Instruments employed to collect data were academic procrastination and causal attribution scales with Chrombach alpha reliability of 0.70 and 0.82 respectively. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and t-test analyses were used to analyze the significance of differences. Results indicated that there was statistically significant sex difference in procrastinating behaviors and explanation of success. No statistical significant sex differences were found in the explanation of failure. In the light of the findings, useful suggestions and recommendations were made.

We’ve been on the lookout for resources that promote the advancement of literacy into adolescence and the teen years. We’ve found a great one: AdLit.org, created by our friends at WETA. One of the ideas we liked the most was the use of exit slips in the classroom. According to the website, “the Exit-Slip strategy requires students to write responses to questions you pose at the end of class. Exit slips help students reflect on what they have learned and express what or how they are thinking about the new information. Exit Slips easily incorporate writing into your content area classroom and require students to think critically.” Prompts can be used to document learning (e.g. “Write one thing you learned today.”), emphasize the process of learning (e.g. “I didn’t understand…”), or evaluate the effectiveness of instruction (“Did you enjoy working in small groups today?”). Here is a graphic organizer they’ve made for you to give exit slips a try: download here. Check out this page to learn more about the Exit Slip strategy. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for other classroom strategy resources.

Elyssa’s Mission now offers suicide prevention education in corporate settings. This interactive lunch-and-learn educates employees on the warning signs of depression and suicide, as well as how to respond if they recognize signs in family members, colleagues or even themselves. Why is talking about suicide prevention relevant? Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-34 years old. Ninety percent of all deaths by suicide are preventable. Most suicides are caused by undiagnosed mental illness. Nearly 800,000 people die by suicide in the world each year. This program highlights the relationship between mental illness and suicide, teaching adults that suicide is often a fatal response to a treatable disorder—depression. What prevents individuals from getting help? Most people don’t understand that mental illness, comparable to physical illnesses such as asthma or diabetes, requires treatment from a medical health professional. Medication combined with talk therapy are the most common ways to treat depression. What is your role in preventing a suicide? Everyone plays a role in preventing suicides. It’s up to us to learn the warning signs and to know what to do. Recognizing these signs can be lifesaving. Here is what Conagra Brands had to say: “The team from Elyssa’s Mission was wonderful. Melissa Molitor was the main presenter and she was engaging, knowledgeable and had an ease and true sincerity when talking about the subject matter. The presentation was both factual as well as very conversational and interactive. We had a group of employees who attended who were fully engaged and had many questions.” Elyssa’s Mission wants to start a conversation about suicide prevention in your workplace.

The inside story of our new data tool One of my main roles over the last year and a bit has been to develop a new way of collecting and representing data across the Urban Transport Group. This work has always been an important part of what we do, as comparative data allows you to put things into context, not only seeing what is happening in your own area but also how this compares with what is going on in similar places across the country (and potentially further afield). Having easy access to high quality data is vital for making informed decisions, whatever industry you are in, and transport draws on data from a number of different areas, including population and economic changes, changes to the way people travel and also to the environment. This is why we started collecting comparative data almost ten years ago, and is also why we wanted to get more output for the effort that we were putting in. My aim was to turn a long spreadsheet into something much more usable to more enable people to extract value from the data, encourage them to use it more often, raise the profile of the data, and increase the range of analysis that was possible. From this, our data tool was born. We decided that the best way to raise awareness and encourage more people to use the data available was to develop an interactive tool. This would make the data easier to access and also put it into a more friendly visual representation. The tool takes trusted transport (and wider relevant data on populations and economies) and puts it into a more accessible format, taking it out of a spreadsheet and allowing you to instantly make visualisations. The ability to select the variables that you are interested in and produce a visually attractive output in seconds will be a major help in allowing people to answer transport questions quickly. The fact that you can then download the visual or the data, or share it on social media means that you can also use the information for your own work. We hope to add further developments to the data tool over the coming months, mainly the ability to represent data spatially, and also increasing the amount of data within the tool.

One of the great myths of Saskatchewan history is that the two-century-old fur trade ended when Canada acquired the region from the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1870. It did not. Ottawa was only interested in the agricultural settlement of the southern North-West Territories, the area south of a line from present-day Winnipeg northwest to Prince Albert and Edmonton. The great remainder of what was sometimes called the unorganized territories — to the north, west, and east — continued to be the exclusive domain of the fur trade. In fact, a HBC study concluded that large-scale agricultural settlement of the territories was still several years away without a transcontinental railway and that the company could still profit from its “monopoly” position. There were changes, though. The old way of moving goods and furs by cart, canoe, and York boat was too labour-intensive and thereby too inefficient. In its place, the HBC decided to introduce steamboat service on the major lakes and rivers in the region — not only to ship its own freight but to capture any new business and passenger traffic. These “fire canoes,” as they were called by the Indians because of their belching smoke stacks, certainly accelerated the movement of HBC freight. But shipping schedules and length of season were dictated by fluctuating water levels, which not only grounded boats but increased the number of hazards, such as sandbars and boulders, that lay in wait. Even deep, open water could be treacherous for the shallow-draft, flat-bottomed boats. “A very little breeze,” one deck hand remembered, “and they would get going like a snake in the grass.” The other major change was what was trapped and traded. Beaver skins had once been the staple of the HBC trade. But over-hunting of the animal and the switch to silk hats in the mid-nineteenth century greatly lessened its importance to the HBC balance sheet. Muskrat consequently emerged as the dominant fur in the post-1870 period, representing as much as fifty per cent of the company returns in some years, followed by beaver (twenty per cent) and marten (ten per cent). The best place to secure muskrat pelts was the Canadian subarctic, particularly in “muskrat country,” the marshy lowlands extending west from Hudson Bay to the Saskatchewan and Churchill rivers. And even though muskrat was a low-value fur subject to extreme population swings, there was money to be made in the trade. Fur enjoyed a fashion renaissance in Europe and North America in the late 19th century. The garment industry not only drove prices steadily higher, but sent scores of itinerant traders into northern Saskatchewan. Ironically, the reason that these new competitors could challenge the Indians and Métis on their home trapping ground was because of improvements the HBC had made to its transportation system. Two brothers who tried their hand at trading were Donald and John Finlayson. In late September 1888, after being outfitted with goods at Cumberland House, they arrived at Reindeer Lake and spent the fall building a cabin about 30 miles north of the south end of the lake. On Dec. 8, the pair set off over the ice with a sled and two dogs to visit Lac du Brochet at the extreme northeast end of the lake. But a little more than a week into the trip, they were out of food and had collected no furs. Turning back in the face of a fierce snowstorm instead of continuing on to the HBC post, they lived on the few fish they were able to catch, but by Christmas, were reduced to eating fish tails and bones. On Jan. 2, around midday, they stopped to make some tea. One of the brothers passed out near the campfire — probably from hunger and exhaustion. The other apparently collapsed in coming to his aid. When their frozen bodies were found three weeks later, the brothers were only eight miles from their cabin. The story of their brief career as traders, right up until the fateful tea break, was documented by Donald in a small diary he carried in his pocket. A search of their belongings turned up ten cents.

If you’re trying to learn a new technology, it’s important to make sure you have the right attitude. The 10,000 hours rule applies to many things, but it’s definitely not true of every technology. The mastery equation consists of practice, patience, and making some sacrifices. Learning a new technology can be a challenge, but with the right attitude and perseverance, you can conquer it. If you’re unsure how to get started, ask for help from friends, family, or experts in the field. The first tip to learn any new technology is to have a goal. Technology has become an integral part of our lives and is used in everything from marketing to getting directions. However, people who aren’t tech-savvy may find it difficult to understand or master this new technology, and that’s why you need to set goals. To overcome this problem, follow these tips: Second, sharing your knowledge is crucial. Sharing your knowledge with others will not only help you master the technology, but also improve your skills. Be sure to thoroughly understand the topic before you explain it to others. It’s important to have an image in your mind and be able to explain it to others. If you can’t explain something, don’t try to pretend that you understand it. This way, you’ll be less likely to confuse yourself and others. Learning a new technology requires a lot of time. You’ll have to understand the pros and cons of the technology. Make sure to make your research time worthwhile by building several projects that are related to the technology you’re interested in. As long as you’re dedicated to making the most of your new skills, you’ll be on the right track for learning a new technology. And don’t forget to have fun while learning a new technology. Another tip to overcome the fear of technology is to find worthwhile resources. Substandard learning resources will make you mediocre or worse, and will eventually ruin your interest in the technology in question. There’s a plethora of learning materials available for each technology, but you have to be careful to choose the most valuable ones. Some of the best sources for learning technology include GeeksforGeeks. If you’re unsure about which resources to use, start with GeeksforGeeks or another similar resource. Attending user groups and conferences is another great way to keep your skills current and relevant. Not only will you get the latest news about the technology, you’ll also meet other technologists in your field. Practice makes perfect, so find an opportunity to apply the new skill quickly and effectively. Then, try applying it in your day-to-day life. If you’re not sure where to start, watch a tutorial online or download a podcast.

By JR on Friday, August 19, 2011 There is some truth in the ideas below but the psychologizing is pure speculation. What is true is that Hitler was personally very popular. He was seen as a fatherly lover of his people -- which is how he presented himself. And his antisemitism was completely normal worldwide in the prewar era. The politics of envy always has a large following and the extraordinarily prominent position of Jews in prewar public life in Germany made them a natural target for envy. There is of course much more to it but those two facts alone are just about enough to explain the holocaust without trashy assertions about inferiority complexes etc. It does grieve me however that Jews have learnt so little since then. Once again many tend to seek out prominent positions in public life. It's like painting a target on their own backs A peculiar German inferiority complex allied to a lust to 'get on' led to the country’s collective moral collapse which allowed the Holocaust of six million Jews to happen, a new book in Germany claims. Götz Aly, an esteemed historian and social commentator, says their berserk social climbing led the ordinary people, far removed from the extermination camp system, to partake in the plunder of the Jews without troubling their consciences. His book Why The Germans? Why The Jews? comes at a time when Germany is once more in the crosshairs of critics across the continent as the euro crisis lurches from bad to worse. It is portrayed as bullying, domineering and inflexible as it tries to impose rigid, German-style rules on nations which do not share its social, political and economic ethics. Most important Aly gets away from the 'evil Nazi' comfort zone that so many postwar Germans have wallowed in. The central thesis of his book is that the Holocaust happened “because people like you and me allowed it to.” And he says it can happen again. It was the middle class fear of coming down in the world following defeat in WWI, the hyper-inflation and joblessness of the Weimar years, that allowed people to blind themselves to the excesses of the Nazis as they pledged to restore Germany to greatness. Those who would pay the most for that greatness were the Jews; the culprits, said Hitler, behind the war. Social climbing became an almost impossible thing during the jobless, moneyless days of the Weimar Republic: the Nazis brought it back into vogue with uniforms, work and, ultimately, plunder. Massive auctions were staged every week throughout the lifespan of the Third Reich in Hamburg and several other cities of stolen Jewish goods. Massive ships docked regularly at the city’s port bringing furniture, silver, furs, tapestries, rugs and glassware that had been taken from Jews in the occupied countries. 'The Social Democrats and the trades unions wanted property too,' said Aly. 'The ‘bad one’ was the Jew in all this.' Therefore, the common man reasoned, it was no bad thing for his or herself to advance themselves at the cost of this societal bogeyman. The Nazis ignored the fact that Jews - making up less than one per cent of the population of Germany - had since around 1900 excelled in schools and universities, graduating at a rate eight times that of Christians. They merely played up the fact that they took all the jobs, thus provoking yet more envy as they secured positions in high paying professions such as medicine and law. He offers up the example of his own grandfather, Friedrich Schneider, one of the five million unemployed in 1926 who joined Hitler’s fledgling Nazi party because he believed, like so many others, that he would once more be able to “get on” if it was in power. 'He was one small part,' he said, 'of that whole of Germany that went on the way to violence and destructive rule.' Aly also says coupled with the German envy complex was a deep-seated fear of true freedom; it had not existed under the Kaiser and democracy under the Weimar Republic had brought the country to its knees. The Nazis, he said, were a catchment basin for socially envious people and people with inferiority complexes. He went on: 'I see in the Germans a substantial self conditioning for the murder of the Jews that developed from these feelings of national inferiority. 'The Holocaust can repeat itself. One should not believe that the anti-Semites of yesterday are completely different human beings to the ones of today.'

SCLM rifting & regional shearing in the Superior Craton - deformation & mineralization in a non-plate tectonic Archaean Earth; implications for tectonic reconstructions Arc accretion models dominate current interpretations for the Superior Craton, Canada. Seismic tomography, however, suggests Archaean greenstone belts in the SE Superior Province developed during extension & rifting of an older craton. Seismic tomographic evidence for Archaean rifting of sub-continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) in the southern Superior Craton Regional Folding & Shearing Without Plate Tectonics Short wavelength Bouguer gravity shows offset of denser, mafic-dominated domains along regional shear zones Discrete shears cutting broad dextral shear corridors indicate c.a. N-S shortening & indentation of the N Superior proto-craton Tectonic reconstruction Superior, Greater Karelia (Baltica) & Wyoming cratons prior to Palaeoproterozoic breakup The Belomorian belt (Baltica), placed against the SE Superior Province in tectonic reconstructions, likely represents a continuation of the Abitibi. Neorarchaean rifts define a triple point Au deposits & kimberlites occur above SCLM rift margins 3D isosurfaces illustrate necking & separation Tectonic model Rifting of proto-craton Shortening during displacement of N Superior - Hudson's Bay Terrane due to mantle flow tractions & plume path on its deep seat The pattern of shears in W Ishtar Terra, Venus (a planet without plate tectonics) resembles the SE Superior Province When the shear zone interpretation of western Ishtar Terra, Venus, is rotated & flipped to match the orientation of shears in the SE Superior Province, the resemblance is striking. Shear zones on Venus formed without stresses arising from plate tectonic processes: arc development & accretion in a modern plate tectonic regime is similarly not required for formation & deformation of Archaean granite-greenstone terrains on Earth.

Die once…Just once A person, at the current time period of thinking, Die’s only once(Unless heart attack, I was told that you may die many times during one). That is not true to me or to the currently living Elamnite’s across the world. Why because I have often ended my life but I keep coming back and the other is that the king of Milton Keynes is reviving the killed ELamnites and if the assailant is deemed to be a Human I believe either they are subjected to a horrific torture ritual and killed or they are mentally tortured or both, either way, they don’t last very long on this Earth. I for one ideally would like to end the life of one particular person and just one. I would like to return the last 27 years of torture dished out to me by one Chamber Pot(a name given to a type of pottery that was used to pee and poop from 6th century BC till the 19th century across the world). I call him that for he has fed me filth and continues to keep locked up and continues to torture me and has been doing this all the while in my head. No, I’m not crazy or a loon, I see him in different disguises and he can do that by manipulating the light that bounces off each person. I would not like to kill him as per se but his piece if mind that’s keeping me from thinking for myself. I know I will but it’s how that has me confused and shell struck. When he is killed finally he will be taken, no dragged and not by one of Lord Yama’s servants but at least 5 and that type of service is only reserved for the most vile, yes even worse than hitler or someone capable of escaping the Servants and causing havoc on the mortal world. #GodofDeath #ChamberPot #Satanincarnate #Santanadarma #LordYama #Elamnite #Yama #Elamnites 0 views0 comments Recent Posts See All I should tell you Mod that you were once a beggar and reducing me to one shows your level of hipocracy and your attitude.

This lesson begins very simply with the instruction to "pick up wherever you left off" in the assignment. Students will quickly begin forming small groups to collaborate or they may choose to work independently. I will take a quick walk around the room to get a sense of how far everyone still has to go. I'll also be on the lookout for student who are either significantly ahead or significantly behind. I might pair some of these students up so that the more advanced students get a chance to explain their thinking to someone, and those who are behind get some assistance in catching up. For the remainder of the time, I'll continue to circulate, answering questions and checking for understanding. I expect some students to struggle with the second problem because although the three roots are given, the y-intercept is not. They will need to evaluate create an equation based on the three roots, evaluate it at x = -1 (a great opportunity to put synthetic substitution to use), and then determine the necessary constant factor. I expect almost everyone to struggle with the third problem since, in this case, only two of the roots are given! Encourage them to think about the structure of the equation, and to create two unknowns for the missing values. (MP 1) At some point during the previous section, I will have sketched the graphs for problems two and three on the board with some empty space nearby for students to present their solutions. (MP 3) Now, it's time to call a student to the board to explain the solution to problem 2. Typically, I will ask for a volunteer, but I may also call on someone I identified earlier in the lesson. This student will explain how she identified the three linear factors and how she made use of the fourth given point to determine the correct constant factor. After a few minutes for the class to ask questions, she'll take her seat. Another volunteer will be called to explain the solution to problem 3. This time I'll be very careful only to call on someone with whom I've already discussed the solution during the previous section of the lesson. This student will need to explain how he made use of the two given roots to form a quadratic equation, and how he used the other two points to identify the missing linear factor and the missing constant factor. The focus should first be on the creation of the equation with two unknowns and then on how he "plugged in" the other two given points to create a system of linear equations. (You can see my solutions for an idea of what I'm expecting.) Finally, I'll return to the board to summarize the solution one more time and to answer any remaining questions. As class ends, I think it's important to praise your students not only for their ability to solve these problems, but for the clarity of their explanations. They're thinking through some very sophisticated arguments, and solving some very challenging problems! At this point, some students may be feeling a bit overwhelmed. Sure, they think, we solved these problems together, but I'm going to have to do it alone on the quiz! It's important to reassure them that on the quiz they will be given all three roots and the y-intercept. At this point, everyone should be able to confidently solve a problem like that - especially with a little more practice. See the video narrative: Wrapping Up.

Option Arm Mortgage Loans How Do They Work Option Arm Mortgage Loans: How do they work? Typically,​ option arm mortgage loans give the​ consumer four payment options each month - a​ 30year fixed payment,​ a​ 15 year fixed payment,​ an​ interest only payment and a​ deferred interest or​ minimum payment. The 30 year,​ 15 year and interest only payments are based on​ the​ fully indexed rate .​ the​ fully indexed rate is​ calculated by adding the​ margin to​ the​ index .​ the​ index would most likely be the​ Libor,​ MTA,​ COSI,​ COFI,​ or​ CODI. Here’s an​ example: Let’s say you​ have a​ margin of​ 3.15 and an​ index of​ 3.32 .​ This would give you​ a​ fully indexed rate of​ 6.47% (3.15 + 3.32 = 6.47) .​ This is​ the​ rate that is​ used to​ compute the​ 30 year,​ 15 year,​ and interest only payments .​ Depending on​ the​ lender and loan program you​ select,​ the​ deferred interest or​ minimum payment could either stay fixed between 1% and 2% for 5 years or​ the​ PAYMENT could start at​ around 1% and go up or​ down a​ maximum of​ 7.5% annually for 5 years .​ The minimum 1% to​ 2% payment is​ an​ interest only payment and is​ based on​ a​ 30 or​ 40 year amortization. The reason an​ option arm loan is​ called a​ deferred interest or​ negative amortization loan is​ because the​ difference between the​ minimum 1% payment and the​ interest only payment is​ added to​ the​ loan amount each month if​ the​ consumer chooses to​ make the​ minimum payment .​ So the​ loan balance increases over time instead of​ decreasing .​ Once the​ loan hits the​ 5 year mark or​ if​ the​ deferred interest reaches 110% or​ 115% of​ the​ original loan amount,​ the​ loan will recast .​ Which means it​ will convert to​ an​ interest only or​ principal and interest loan at​ the​ fully indexed rate. The fully indexed rate is​ calculated monthly and therefore could change from month to​ month. Here are a​ few benefits of​ the​ option arm mortgage loan: * the​ minimum payment is​ 100% interest; therefore,​ 100% of​ the​ payment is​ tax deductible * the​ deferred interest is​ mortgage interest so it​ may be tax deductible * If the​ client makes bi-weekly payments,​ the​ amount of​ deferred interest will decrease by approximately 30% or​ be completely eliminated. * the​ minimum payment increases the​ client’s cash flow * This loan gives the​ client several payment options * It also allows clients to​ use their mortgage as​ a​ financial tool to​ build wealth .​ In closing,​ here are four important points to​ keep in​ mind when selecting an​ option arm loan program: 1) Get a​ 30 year amortization (not 40 years) .​ the​ 30 year amortization will keep the​ 1% payment option available longer. 2) Choose an​ index which is​ less volatile .​ Like the​ MTA instead of​ the​ Libor. 3) Select an​ option arm program that has a​ 115% recast instead of​ a​ 110% recast to​ increase the​ chances of​ the​ payment options being available for the​ full 5 years. 4) Select an​ option arm with a​ low lifetime interest rate cap For more information on​ this and other mortgage related topics,​ please visit: Please feel free to​ reprint this article as​ long as​ the​ resource box is​ left intact and all links are hyperlinked.

Given the developments of computational infrastructure and resources waveform tomography may become the method of choice to determine deep Earth structure given appropriate observational coverage. The core of any inversion is the calculation of synthetic seismograms and there are as many approaches as there are numerical methodologies. Here, we discuss advances using a regular-grid spectral element approach and an algorithm based on the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. The latter is based on tetrahedral grids. Due to the fact that the DG approach allows the spatial fields to be discontinuous at the element boundaries the method lends itself to the simulation of rupture along of frictional boundaries (dynamic rupture). Combined with the geometrical flexibility of tetrahedral grids ruptures on arbitrarily shaped faults are possible. In addition to these technical developments we show applications of seismic modeling and inversion based on finite frequency techniques, global wave propagation, and Monte Carlo investigation of model uncertainties.

by Anne M Stark for LLNL News Livermore, CA (SPX) Jan 18, 2012 By looking at the stability of the atmosphere, wind farm operators could gain greater insight into the amount of power generated at any given time. Power generated by a wind turbine largely depends on the wind speed. In a wind farm in which the turbines experience the same wind speeds but different shapes, such as turbulence, to the wind profile, a turbine will produce different amounts of power. This variable power can be predicted by looking at atmospheric stability, according to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientist Sonia Wharton and colleague Julie Lundquist of the University of Colorado at Boulder and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. In a paper appearing in the Jan. 12 edition of the journal Environmental Research Letters, Wharton and Lundquist examined turbine-generated power data, segregated by atmospheric stability, to figure out the power performance at a West Coast wind farm. "The dependence of power on stability is clear, regardless of whether time periods are segregated by three-dimensional turbulence, turbulence intensity or wind shear," Wharton said. The team found that power generated at a set wind speed is higher under stable conditions and lower under strongly unsteady conditions at that location. The average wind power output difference is as high as 15 percent less wind power generation when the atmosphere is unstable. While turbulence is a relatively well-known term in assessing turbine efficiency, wind shear - which is a difference in wind speed and direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere - also plays an important role when assessing how much power a turbine generates over certain time scales. Wharton and Lundquist said that wind farm operators could better estimate how much power is generated if the wind forecasts included atmospheric stability impact measurements. Though earlier research looked at atmospheric stability effects on power output, few studies have analyzed power output from modern turbines with hub heights of more than 60 meters. In the new research, Wharton and Lundquist gathered a year of power data from upwind modern turbines (80 meters high) at a multi-megawatt wind farm on the West Coast. They considered turbine power information as well as meteorological data from an 80-meter tall tower and a Sonic Detection and Ranging (SODAR), which provided wind profiles up to 200 meters above the surface, to look at turbulence and wind shear. Looking at upwind turbines removed any influence that turbine wakes may have on power performance. The team found that wind speed and power production varied by season as well as from night to day. Wind speeds were higher at night (more power) than during the day (less power) and higher during the warm season (more power) than in the cool season (less power). For example, average power production was 43 percent of maximum generation capacity on summer days and peaked at 67 percent on summer nights. "We found that wind turbines experienced stable, near-neutral and unstable conditions during the spring and summer," Wharton said. "But daytime hours were almost always unstable or neutral while nights were strongly stable." "This work highlights the benefit of observing complete profiles of wind speed and turbulence across the turbine rotor disk, often available only with remote sensing technology like SODAR or LIDAR (Laser Detection and Ranging,)" Lundquist said. "Wind energy resource assessment and power forecasting would profit from this increased accuracy."

Rumour: iPhone 5 set for liquid metal casing and June launch Is the iPhone 5 coming to terminate the competition? Rumour iPhone 5 to for liquid metal casing and June launch Rumours from South Korea claim the next generation Apple iPhone 5 will showcase a redesigned liquid metal casing. The report, which also says the device will launch in June at WWDC, expects Apple to employ liquid metal alloys in place of the glass featured on the iPhone 4 and This technology would, apparently, make the device thinner, lighter and stronger than those previous models. Not that far-fetched The report does have solid grounding, due to a licensing agreement Apple signed with Liquidmetal Technologies in August 2010. The accord grants Apple the IP rights to the company's "amorphous metal" technology for use in any of its future devices. While it seems the use of such technology isn't that far-fetched, whether it'll be ready in time for a June launch is debatable, considering the iPhone 4S is still early in its lifespan. Advanced prototype Of course, when we think liquid metal, it instantly conjures memories of the deadly T-1000, the antagonist from the second Terminator movie, Judgement Day. Although we hope the iPhone 5 doesn't suddenly morph into a sharp stabbing weapons, it would be quite handy if this happened on those dreadful occasions when iPhones take terminal tumbles.

What is Self-Management? Self-Management is an evidenced-based practice based on behavior analytic principles. It is the preparation and implementation of behavior change procedures that produces desired changes in target behaviors. Self-management includes self-monitoring and self-evaluation. Self-Monitoring is the process of observing and collecting data on your own behavior. The last step is to self-evaluate or monitor and determine how effectively the procedures you implemented changed the target behavior (i.e., decrease or increase contingent on the behavior). Why Choose to Engage in Self-Management? It can be used to change behaviors that are not observable by others (private events). Generalization and maintenance of target behaviors A small repertoire of self-management skills can control many behaviors Point blank it feels good to accomplish your goals! Want to Learn More? Coming soon… We will be offering a Self-Management Series where you can learn more about self-management and how to use it to reach your goals and promote a positive change in your everyday life.

Troubleshooting SAML Last Modified on 08/13/2020 12:08 pm IDT When setting up KMS for Single Sign On (SSO) using SAML, you may encounter some issues. This section describes several issues that you may be able to resolve following the instructions provided herein. Prerequisites This guide assumes that: 1. You are familiar with the SAML 2.0 protocol and set up process. 2. You are testing the SSO for the first time. 3. You have basic familiarity with Kaltura MediaSpace (KMS). Verifying the Integration After you set up SSO, login to MediaSpace. The expected result is a successful login. Your user ID or user name should appear on the upper right corner of KMS. What else should you verify? Look at the userId / user name on the upper right corner, and in MediaSpace admin (/admin/user-list). Does the userId that you received match the expected one? If not, make sure that the userId attribute is released in the SAML response. Make sure that the userId attribute is mapped correctly. Did you release and map any additional attributes?

For humans, happiness can be a consequence of positive behaviours and regarded as their ultimate goal (Seligman, 2004). Since the late 1990s, happiness has been a prominent topic in the field of positive psychology, which seeks, from a psychological perspective, to understand how to make people happier and help them lead more satisfactory lives (Peterson et al., 2005; Seligman, 2004). According to Authentic Happiness Theory (AHT), developed by positive psychologist Martin Seligman (2004), seeking life satisfaction is a long-lasting life concept. As the understanding of tourism experience has evolved to see it as a life-changing event for profound intra-transformation of a person, religious experience during pilgrimage has been investigated to understand the holistic phenomenon of religious tourism (Andriotis, 2009; Belhassen et al., 2008). The experience of oneself in a sacred place is considered the key element that religious tourists seek during their visits to religious tourism destinations. During their visits to religious sites, they have particular experiences that can be mainly provided in these places through psychological and emotional changes. Moreover, religion has a significant impact on life satisfaction and happiness (Headey et al., 2010). This study applies AHT to religious tourism experiences and extends the model to the emotional aspect. This study aims to investigate the impact of religious tourism experiences on two personal values and focuses on the mediating role of emotional connection between religious tourism experience and personal values. For this study’s empirical analysis, religious tourists who answered that religion was important for their travel in Rome/Vatican City were asked to participate in a survey process. This study proves that religious tourism experiences affect happiness and self-satisfaction / fulfilment.

President, Korea Foundation for Advanced Studies (KFAS) It is an honor to host this workshop on China three years in a row. Today, we will talk about the outcomes of the 19th Party Congress and implications. We will focus also on the future trajectory of China-US relations in light of bilateral trade, economic issues in general, and related security issues. We will also do some stocktaking on the development of related issues since last year. We should also talk about Moody's and S&P downgrading China's sovereign rating. In October, however, the IMF raised China's growth forecast from 6.7% to 6.8%. RMB reforms are gaining more support as the Chinese yuan strengthens and foreign exchange reserves rise. In the wake of 19th Party Congress, what kind of economic reforms will we see? What impact will they have on the world economy? We should also discuss how China will respond to the North Korean nuclear crisis as China is one of the responsible partners in resolving this issue. We should also talk about the possibility and feasibility of a pre-emptive military strike, sanctions against North Korea, the so-called red line of North Korean nuclear development, feasibility and reliability of US extended deterrence, and the so-called 'grand bargain' suggested by Kissinger. We will look at the future of the One Belt One Road initiative, the new Silk Road project. We will consider the future of TPP and RCEP as they are epicenters of the trade debate. We can also touch on the future of China-India relations and cross-Strait relations. I hope the seven panelists will freely raise any further issues. As a housekeeping issue, today we have seven excellent, world-renowned specialists, but with a view to having a more interactive discussion, I will give a maximum of 10 minutes for the initial presentation, even though many of them have had flights longer than 15 hours. I am sorry, but it can only be 10 minutes. Then I will give one or two immediate questions, and when we finish the first round of 10-minute presentations, we will have another five minutes to respond to some questions among the panellists and myself. After we finish the second round of five-minute presentations, I will open the floor. I think that, given the three-hour timeframe, we will have enough of a chance to do that. Today, we have two Chinese and two US panellists, one from Korea, one from Japan, and one from France. I will give the opportunity in the order of the length of their flight, so I will invite the Chinese delegates first, followed by the US, Korea, Japan and finally, France. Without further ado, I will invite our first speaker, Professor Jia Qingguo. He is the Dean of School of International Studies of Peking University. He is actually a leading scholar in the area of international relations in China and, in a sense, he is also a politician, because he is a member of the standing committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference; it is a little bit long, but just remember it is very important. He is also a member of the standing committee of the Central Committee of the China Democratic League, which means he is a member of the Democratic Party. I think you might be surprised, but legally speaking, China is a multi-party system and he represents the Democratic Party, we call it Chinese Democratic. He makes his own voice on important topics. Even though he is a member of the Democratic Party, he was invited to the 19 th Congress.

蜂蜜红焖鸭子 Honey Braised Duck Ingredients 1 Tbsp. (15 ml.) cooking oil 1 large piece ginger (about 1 inch, or 2.5 cm., on each side) 1 whole duckling 3-4 Tbsp. (45-60 ml.) honey ½ cup (120 ml.) rice wine (but any wine will do) 6-7 Tbsp. (about 100 ml.) soy sauce (dark soy sauce is best for this dish) 4 scallions (spring onions) Although some restaurants in China used ovens to roast duck, virtually no Chinese homes possessed them during the Cultural Revolution. This dish, made in a wok, served as a wonderful stand-in for the roasted variety. Heat a wok and add oil. Crush the ginger. Before the oil begins to smoke, add the ginger to the wok and fry it for a minute so its flavor permeates the oil. Add the entire duckling to the wok and fry one side over a high flame for about 10 minutes until the skin tightens and turns brownish. Then turn it over and fry the other side for 10 minutes. Add the honey, wine and soy sauce and place two whole scallions on either side of the duck and two in the duck’s cavity. Cover the wok tightly and turn the heat down to medium. Allow the duck to braise for about an hour and a half for a three-pound (1.3 kg.) duckling, or an hour and fifteen minutes for a smaller bird. Turn several times to ensure that the duck is cooked evenly, spooning the liquid over – and inside – the bird. When the meat is ready to fall off the bones, remove from the wok and serve. Caring for the Production Team’s Ducks “The experience of herding ducks,” 1974. Young Pioneers, Party-organized groups of children aged 7-14, took care of certain tasks on the farms during the Cultural Revolution. A popular story was told of three such children tasked with caring for ducks by the production team in their village. Their job was to keep the ducks away from the fields. When some of the ducks escaped and began eating grain, the peasants criticized the children, who also performed self-criticisms of their own, as was the custom during this period. Later, they redeemed themselves by turning in a selfish peasant who had secretly sent his own ducks to eat in the public field.

Loss Of Sense Of Smell (Post Covid) During the times of this COVID pandemic loss of sense of smell is Covid-19 infection unless proven otherwise. It is usually accompanied by loss of taste. The loss of smell or taste is among the most common and persistent complaintin symptomatic patients with coronavirus disease. Majority of the patients reported a complete resolution or improvement of these symptoms within 4 to 6 weeks. However, some patients have not been able to regain their senses after several weeks of overcoming the disease! Studies haven’t determined how long it can last, but agree that it could be a long time. The uncertainty of not understanding when they will smell and feel again has led people to cope with a loss that few expected to suffer. Some even seek olfaction specialists, which until now was a relatively limited field. The most distinctive sign of a COVID-19 infection Various affected people describe what they felt when they could not distinguish between sweet, bitter, sour, or salty. Coffee tastes like petrol, and if you can’t smell it, you don’t enjoy a meal. People with COVID-19 can lose their sense of smell because the virus infects the terminal nerves in their noses.The virus affects the support cells that surround the olfactory bulb, causing inflammation. Parosmia (distorted sense of smell) may occur when these nerves regenerate, and the brain cannot identify the real scent. Although other viruses have been shown to do the same, the new coronavirus leaves the longest-lasting sequel, something never seen before. Coronavirus is not the same as other diseases The parosmia that can accompany the coronavirus is unusual and very different from what someone afflicted by a bad cold or flu can feel. Typically when COVID-19 patients have a loss of smell, it tends to be sudden& severe. It might be accompanied by stuffy or runny nose. Those who have suffered a partial or complete loss of smell and taste alterations during the infection continue to suffer from these symptoms. They can overcome the problem with atreatment that consists of the repeated stimulation of the olfactory pathway through a selection of smells also known as SMELL RETRAINING THERAPY. This therapy allows the patient to train their sense of smell and their brain capacity to identify, store, and remember odours. Thus, the regeneration of damaged cells is accelerated. It consists of a daily routine of two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, lasting about 10 minutes, and must be carried out over several months. The patient must smell different bottles of essential oils, trying to identify each aroma.you can use anything with a strong odor that you have around the house. Rose, lemon, eucalyptus, and clove are recommended as they cover different types of odours and are likely to stimulate a different pattern of odour receptors. You really think about what it smells like. So, when you are sniffing the lemon fragrance you are really thinking about how a lemon used to smell to you. We encourage people to start with these and continue for the first 12 weeks. Here at Aahan ENT Clinic, we use our best treatment to heal and take care of our patients. Our group of expertise follows you up throughout the treatment duration to ensure the best results. So book your appointment today and get into safe hands.

Education Focus Our Education Projects In 2017, our volunteer-for-education projects continue to improve the standards of education and imbue students with the heart to give back to their communities. We are going beyond Lagos state to Osun state with free weekend coaching centres to over 16,500 students. Higher learning increases the student’s access to better job opportunities in the future. They are also better equipped to contribute to their communities. To achieve this, our well-trained volunteers organise Supplementary Education classes, Academic Bootcamps and Mentoring Sessions. Supplementary education Students leave the classroom with unanswered questions. With our supplementary education projects, volunteer educators spend time with students clarifying grey areas. We offer out-of-school learning for English Language and Mathematics. Volunteers adopt methods that clarify and communicate topics in simple and clear terms to students. Why Supplementary Education Matters • It provides formal learning in an informal environment. • Students gain skills that transform their lives. • Students are able to commit more time to their education, making them better prepared for their examinations. Annual Bootcamp Our Bootcamp is an intense educational model that combines theory and practice in a condensed format that encourages learning. VolunteerCorps Bootcamps are more deliberate to achieve a definite goal: entry into higher institutions. Why Bootcamps Matter • Bootcamps expand students’ mental horizons; increases their skill-sets, and opens new worlds to them. • Our hands-on classes make students vast; our group work encourages team spirit; our field trips expand their perspective on life. • Overall, the students develop an increased awareness that inspires them to look forward to higher goals in life. Student mentoring The gap year between secondary and tertiary education is filled with life changing decisions. We match students with mentors who can help them to make the right choices for their lives. Through our one-on-one confidential mentoring sessions, our mentors work “hand-in-hand” with the students to achieve their potentials. Why Student Mentoring Matters • Mentors provide assistance when it comes to choosing courses of study and universities of choice. • Mentors can easily spot the weaknesses of their mentees and work with them to turn such into strengths. • With the right mentorship, students face academic and life’s challenges.

What is DNA? DNA folds into paired packages called chromosomes. Chromosomes contain many genes. A gene is a section of DNA that holds the instructions to build a protein. People can have different versions of the same gene. Our bodies are made of around 24,000 genes, using around 3% of our DNA. Proteins are essential for life and perform a huge variety of jobs, from controlling the function of a single cell, to determining the shape of our bodies. DNA is the blueprint for life. Think of DNA as an assembly manual that is used to build each and every one of us. We share very similar DNA with one another, 99% in fact. But it’s the 1% that makes us individuals, giving us different facial features, hair colour, height, etc. WHAT IS A MYDNA MEDICATION TEST? A myDNA medication test is a PGx test that helps identify which medications are likely to be most suited to an individual. The test results are presented in a report for the healthcare professional to consider when deciding on the choice of medication for their patient. WHAT IS PHARMACOGENOMICS (PGx)? PGx is the study of how genetic factors influence the way a person responds to medications. PGx combines the study of pharmacology (study of how drugs work in the body) and genomics (study of genes and their functions). PGx is now being used to help doctors select safe and effective medications for their patients based on their unique genetic makeup. There are certain genes which contain instructions to build proteins called enzymes. These enzymes are involved in breaking down many medications in the body, primarily in the liver. People have different versions of these genes which produce enzymes with varying levels of activity (e.g. slow, normal or fast). As a result, people can vary in how slow or fast they break down and clear medications from their body, and this can influence how well a medicine works or the risk of side effects for that individual. Although not all medications are processed by these enzymes, a myDNA Pgx test can provide information on a range of commonly prescribed medications, and indicate to your doctor whether there is anything additional they should be aware of if prescribing them. If you wish to clarify which medications are covered by each test, or have any other enquiries please call us on 1300 436 373. hear from two of our customers Having to take medication for pain is no laughing matter. Find out if your pain medication is right for you.

February 5, 2014 www.mcvpr.com EMPLOYEE BENEFITS ALERT Employer's Deadline to File Protective Refund Claim for 2010 FICA Taxes Paid on Severance Payments On September 7, 2012, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals held in U.S. v. Quality Stores, 693 F.3d 605 (6 th Cir. 2012), that severance payments made as part of an involuntary employment termination are not taxable wages for purposes of Medicare and Social Security withholding under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA"). In Quality Stores, the Court of Appeals affirmed a decision of the Western District Court of Michigan affirming, in turn, a decision by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to the effect that severance payments made by a Chapter 11 debtor-corporation to its employees on involuntary employment termination constituted supplemental unemployment compensation benefits not taxable as wages for FICA tax purposes. The characterization of the payments by Quality Stores as supplemental unemployment compensation was made by reference to the definition under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 3402(o) of certain payments other than wages (1) made to employees; (2) pursuant to a plan adopted by the employer; (3) because of the employees' permanent separation from employment; (4) resulting directly from a workforce reduction; and (5)included in the employees' gross income for federal income tax purposes. The United States Supreme Court agreed to review the decision by the Court of Appeals in Quality Stores, supra. Thus, if the United States Supreme Court ultimately upholds the decision in Quality Stores to the effect that supplemental unemployment compensation benefits should not be considered wages for FICA tax purposes, employers may be able to file (for the open years) tax refund claims for FICA taxes paid and withheld on such payments. Affected employers should be aware that April 15, 2014 is the due date for filing a protective refund claim for FICA taxes paid on a 2010 employment tax return. The protective refund claim may be filed through the use of Form 941-X, Adjusted Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund. If you have any questions or would like our assistance regarding this matter, you may contact any of the following members of our Employee Benefits Practice Team: The content of this McV Alert has been prepared for information purposes only.

Moral of: Adopt The Dimwit- The red person represents the fortunate people in society - The blue person represents the less fortunate people in society - The basic idea of the Adopt The Dimwit is that the animations mock the fortunate people in society who pretend not to or those who just don't recogonize how fortunate they are and their lack of generosity towards the less fortunate people that are in society. - In the "Feed Him" animation, it shows the people that only give what they do not want any more to help out the less fortunate. - In the "Give Him Money" animation, it shows the people who help out generosly, but later see their help as a loss and later regret helping out, and see it as a loss, rather than a gain. - In the "Give Him a Soda Can" animation, it shows that even the smallest amount of what we can give will be greatly appreciated by those who are really in need. - I encourage you all to go out and help those who are in need of help. | Link to The Dimwit | Moral | | Help the dimwit out by telling a friend to adopt him |

Article Free Pass Alternate titles: carburettor carburetor, also spelled carburettor ,  device for supplying a spark-ignition engine with a mixture of fuel and air. Components of carburetors usually include a storage chamber for liquid fuel, a choke, an idling (or slow-running) jet, a main jet, a venturi-shaped air-flow restriction, and an accelerator pump. The quantity of fuel in the storage chamber is controlled by a valve actuated by a float. The choke, a butterfly valve, reduces the intake of air and allows a fuel-rich charge to be drawn into the cylinders when a cold engine is started. As the engine warms up, the choke is gradually opened either by hand or automatically by heat- and engine-speed-responsive controllers. The fuel flows out of the idling jet into the intake air as a result of reduced pressure near the partially closed throttle valve. The main fuel jet comes into action when the throttle valve is further open. Then the venturi-shaped air-flow restriction creates a reduced pressure for drawing fuel from the main jet into the air stream at a rate related to the air flow so that a nearly constant fuel-air ratio is obtained. The accelerator pump injects fuel into the inlet air when the throttle is opened suddenly. In the 1970s, new legislation and consumer preferences led automobile manufacturers to improve fuel efficiency and lower pollutant emissions. To accomplish these objectives, engineers developed fuel injection management systems based on new computer technologies. Soon, fuel injection systems replaced carbureted fuel systems in virtually all gasoline engines except for two-cycle and small four-cycle gasoline engines, such as those used in lawn mowers.

Time changes 11. The sorting A tall woman greeted the children in front of her.  Asking them to follow her into the front hall.  The first years waited for what felt like forever before the woman called Professor Magonagall, who would be their Transfiguration teacher.  Scarlet Followed the other nervous kids into the Dining hall.  She stood in front of a huge room filled with the older children.  There was a speech and a song by a tall pointed hat with a mouth and eyes.  The sorting hat.  Everyone stood in aw as they joined in the song, they began to loosen up and have fun with the song. When the hat finished the tall woman began to call names.  Mason, Lisa, and Melaney were one of the first to be called and were sorted into Gryffindor. There was a girls name that was called:Caroline Lansky, made Scarlet perk up and when she saw her pass she realized something.  This was her British friend who she had met once.  But the girl had no idea who she was.   Caroline was sorted into Hufflepuff.   All her friends except Harry were sorted.  when Harry was called there was a gasp through the hall then whispered followed.  Scarlet knew exactly what would happen, and it did.  More names were called then it was her. "Rucks, Scarlet"  She headed towards the hat.  Dreading what would happen. "Hmm, this is curious,  everything in your head shows that you could be in any house"The hat whispered"It's all right here inside your head,  but where to put you, where to put you......."It stopped was silent. Minutes passed the hall began to whisper and the whispers grew louder.   "Silence!"Yelled Magonagall"Dumbledore?" she asked a tall man with a long silver beard that you really could almost tuck into your belt. "Minerva, let the hat think another m-" But before the man could continue the hat yelled"I cant! I need more time than that!" "I see" Dumbledore answered stroking his beard"Ladies, gentlemen and Miss. Rucks it seems we will have to continue this young ladies sorting later" He addressed the hall taking the hat from Scarlet's head "This way Miss. Rucks, I'm sorry this happened" Scarlet said nothing but stood her cheeks becoming warm as more whispers erupted, and everyone began to stare "Silence!"Dumbledore said"This is as odd for this girl as it is for you" The hall was silent. "Call the next child Minerva" he told the woman next to him.  She nodded slightly shocked and proceeded to call off the next name as Dumbledore lead him to the large staff table behind him.  He motioned for Hagrid to grab a chair for Scarlet.  Hagrid came back to where Dumbledore whould be sitting. "'er "arlet, so sorry this happened." he said to her She thanked him giving him a hug. "I see you know Miss.Rucks" Dumbledore said motioning for her to sit. "Yes sir" he answered "We met in Diagon Alley"  He said going back to his seat. "well, let's see why don't I call you Scarlet, instead of Miss.Rucks all the time"He said winking"Don't look at them,  they are just freaked out" Scarlet had been staring at the other kids starring at her. She nodded and looked at Dumbledore. "So now down to business,what is going to happen is that you will be getting sorted after supper.  So you can go to sleep in a bed and you can get your house tie." "Oh it's almost done just one more first year, then we can eat and you should relax. "Ah its over" He stood and walked over to the podium, telling the students the rules and then saying the magic words as the food appeared.  He walked back over. "Bone appetite" he said. And everyone began eating some students and even teachers giving her side glances as she ate."Pay no to them scarlet" "I know but they keeping starring at me and whispering, even the teachers" "I see, just talk to me, and eat, it will be OK." She nodded and they began to speak and tell jokes and laugh.  But soon the feast was over and the plates and food disapeared.  Dumbledore stood instructing the students to go to the dormitories. It was time for a sorting re-do. Loading ...

A Brief History of the Domain Name First… What is a domain name? For a quick definition, a domain name is a web address that you register with an approved domain registrar. The registrar will give you an account where you can point your domain name to your hosting plan (the place where you upload your web site files) via DNS and what are called IP addresses or nameservers. Once pointed to your hosting plan, when someone puts your domain name in the address bar of a web browser, behind-the-scenes magic happens and your site will be displayed. Tip: Only use a TOP LEVEL domain registrar when registering your domain names. Do not use a middle-man type of company. Now For A Little History on THE DOMAIN NAME: - 1985: “On March 15, 1985, Symbolics Inc., a computer manufacturer in Massachusetts, registered the domain name Symbolics.com, making it the first appropriately registered .com domain in the world.” - 1995: “Before 1995, anyone who wanted a domain name could register it free of charge.” - 2007: “The most expensive domain ever sold was VacationRentals.com, which was scooped up for the low, low price of $35 million. What’s more interesting is that its buyer, Ben Sharples, purchased the site primarily to keep it out of the hands of its competitor, Expedia.” Read more here: http://mashable.com/2014/03/10/domain-names-history/

Tool Box Talk Ballast Dust on Work Sites Use of Dust Mask Respiratory Protective Equipment - Key Considerations: Work planning should always aim to reduce exposure to ballast dust to as low as reasonably practicable. Should the work risk assessment still identify roles that require further protection from ballast dust, the use of Respirable Protective Equipment (RPE) will be identified, to reduce the levels of dust exposure to staff on worksites. Where the expected levels of exposure to dust for staff on worksites is minimal or below the 50% Workforce Exposure Level (WEL) for Total Inhalable, Respirable and Respirable Crystalline Silica dusts, a dust mask can be used to protect individuals from dust exposure. Please brief identified staff (from work risk assessment) with the following information: General Instructions on how to put on a Disposable Dusk Mask [x] A nose clip is located in the top panel. Gently bend it at the centre. Hold the mask in your hand and pull out the bottom panel to form a cup. [x] Turn mask over so you can grasp the elastic straps. [x] Cup the mask under your chin. Ensure the two straps are separated and pull the straps over your head. [x] Locate the lower strap below the ears and the upper strap across the crown of your head. Adjust top and bottom panels of the mask for a comfortable fit. [x] Using both hands, mould the nose clip to the shape of the lower part of your nose. DO NOT pinch the nosepiece using only one hand as this may result in a less effective seal. [x] Check it Fits (Masks with valves) [x] Cover the front of the respirator with both hands, being careful not to disturb its position on your face. [x] Breathe IN sharply. A Negative pressure (like it is sticking to your face) should be felt inside the mask. If air leaks around the nose, readjust the nose clip. If air leaks at the sides adjust the straps back along the sides of your head. Repeat this until the mask fits properly. [x] Check it Fits (Masks without valves) [x] Cover the front of the respirator with both hands, being careful not to disturb its position on your face. [x] Breathe OUT sharply. A Positive pressure (like blowing up a balloon) should be felt inside the mask. If not, adjust as above. What if I Have a Beard or other Facial Hair? If you can't get the mask to fit, you must not enter the area where dust is present. Report it as a close call. Remember: Only YOU can really tell if your mask fits – Sort it – Report it! Please see diagrams below for a demonstration of fitting P3 dust masks: \ \ Tool Box Talk Record Ballast Dust on Work Sites Questions to check understanding Question: How will you know if you are required to wear Respirable Protective Equipment to undertake your work?

• Is Surgery the Only Option for Peyronie’s Disease? Peyronie’s disease is one of the many sexual dysfunctions we treat here at Urology Associates, P.C. If you’ve been referred to a sexual health specialist in Tennessee, you can call us at (855) 901-1338. • Why Do I Have Bloody Urine? Hematuria is the medical term for bloody urine . It’s always alarming to see blood in your urine, although the underlying cause might not necessarily be too serious. However, you should always see a doctor for an evaluation as you may require medical treatment. Your family physician can refer you to a urologist for medical testing and a comprehensive exam. Urinary Tract Infection Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can affect both men and women, although women are at a higher risk. Usually, the urethra or bladder is affected by this bacterial infection. Since the infection is caused by bacteria , a urologist may prescribe antibiotics. In addition to blood in the urine, a UTI can cause pelvic pain or pressure, persistent urges to urinate, and the frequent passing of small amounts of urine. Kidney Infection UTIs aren’t always limited to the urethra or bladder. If the bacteria infect the kidneys, the consequences can be serious. Unless you seek prompt medical care for a kidney infection, it’s possible to sustain permanent kidney damage or sepsis. A kidney infection can cause the same symptoms as a UTI, but it will also cause fever, chills, nausea, or vomiting. Pain can develop in the back, side, or abdomen. Kidney or Bladder Stones Urine contains minerals. Over time, these minerals can crystalize on the kidney or bladder walls. The crystals can then gradually form either kidney or bladder stones, which are hardened deposits. Patients often don’t experience symptoms like pain and bloody urine unless the stones start to shift around or cause a blockage. When this happens, the pain can be excruciating. There’s a possibility that blood in the urine can indicate cancer of the prostate, kidneys, or bladder. Symptoms of these cancers may not appear until the disease is already at an advanced stage. If the urologist has ruled out all other possibilities of bloody urine, he or she may request some tests to check for cancer. When you’re experiencing troubling symptoms, you need to know that your health is in good hands. Come in and talk with the specialists at Urology Associates, P.C. You can schedule an appointment with a urologist in Tennessee by calling (855) 901-1338. • Prostate Cancer 101 Prostate cancer is one of the most common types. Fortunately, most men diagnosed with it have slow-growing tumors. There are several cancer treatments available. Your urologist will develop a personalized treatment plan, depending on the exact type of prostate cancer, and the man’s age and general health. You can hear more about cancer treatment when you watch this interview with Dr. Charles Eckstein. He’s a urologist at Urology Associates, P.C. In this video, Dr. Eckstein covers the diagnostics, staging, and treatment planning processes. Some of these treatments include internal and external radiation therapy, and open or minimally invasive surgery. Urology Associates, P.C. is committed to providing an exceptional level of care for men diagnosed with prostate cancer in Tennessee. You can call (855) 901-1338 to request a consult.

I'm frustrated with what I've read about the diagnosis of lung cancers. It seems the key to surviving is early diagnosis, but the "watch and wait to see if it grows" approach carries great risk of allowing it to spread if the nodule does turn out to be cancerous. If there are no other symptoms except an 11.4-millimeter non-calcified nodule that showed up on an X-ray in a smoker (clear X-ray two years prior), at what point should the nodule be removed? CT scans and PET scans have been non-conclusive. The consensus seems to be that a needle biopsy could give a false reading. The radiologist suggests removing. The pulmonary doctor explains the options but leaves it up to the patient (not a good rapport between doctor and patient). Would a teaching university or specialty hospital increase the likelihood of an earlier diagnosis? Thank you. You describe a frequent problem. Nodules are extremely common, and the vast majority of them are not lung cancer. In general terms, though, a new nodule (without evidence of calcification) in a patient who has smoked is considered lung cancer until proven otherwise. I often tell my patients there are two ways to get this proof, and each is a trade-off between certainty and safety. The most definitive proof comes when you take the nodule out, but this carries the risk of a major operation and is not the best option for everybody. On the other end of the spectrum, you have the method you referred to as "watch and wait to see if it grows." Many people find this approach to be very unsatisfying, but it is often the best option because most nodules are benign and the risks of major chest surgery would not have been warranted. If a nodule has not grown over a sufficient period of observation (usually at least two years depending upon the nature of the nodule on the CT scan), that’s considered the best proof you can get — short of surgery — that the nodule is not cancerous. One thing that can help your doctor favor one approach over the other is a PET scan. With this type of scan, the doctor injects a sugary substance (glucose) into your vein. A radioactive tracer is attached to the substance, and as the substance spreads through your body, a scanning machine creates 3-D images of how your organs and tissues are using or metabolizing the glucose. If the PET scan shows little or no uptake in the nodule, it is usually safe to observe the nodule. There is no evidence that detecting growth later on is then associated with a missed opportunity for cure in this situation. If the PET scan shows intense uptake in the nodule, it is best to remove it, as long as surgery is deemed safe in your situation. With regards to getting your care at a university or teaching hospital, the major advantage of such places is the volume of more complex patients they see. There are excellent community hospitals where cancer care is delivered expertly and with equal or better effectiveness as university hospitals. The important thing to ask a doctor is whether this type of care represents a large proportion of their practice. Take surgery, for example. Like many other diseases, there is good evidence that lung cancer surgery outcomes are better if done by a surgeon whose main practice focuses on lung cancer and related conditions.
