Based on the understanding of language and communication, integral coaching helps to better manage everything related to the human being, from all points of view. Covering work, personal and professional. In the following lines we tell you more about this interesting type of coach that is more and more used every day and whose popularity is growing…
“Integral” means inclusive of everything, whole, complete, everything. Thus, at its deepest root, integral coaching refers to a form of coaching that is whole, complete and integrated. In addition, it includes frameworks and developmental principles based on the globally recognized Integral Theory.
ChVmpion Mind: An Integral Approach to Coaching
Integral directly influences the overall purpose of ChVmpion Mind’s professional coaching. For, it includes systemic approaches and the unique phenomenon of the dyad associated with the relationship between a coach and a person. In addition, it involves subjective understanding and measurable objective results. And most basic and important of all, it works. Here are some essential things to know about integral coaching.
What is integral coaching?
Integral coaching is a continuous and evolutionary methodology, which aims to be the most complete response to life. The approach takes into account the individuality of the person, as well as the social context in which he/she is always immersed. The coach is there to help the person discover his or her own possibilities and find solutions by widening the lens through which he or she views his or her own situation.
Thus, holistic coaching can be described as a systematic and integrated way of accessing a problematic situation and then designing a unique program that provides solutions according to and for the uniqueness of each person. Integral coaching sees possibilities in a person’s life and offers them new perspectives and practices so that they can embody that change and possibility in a holistic way.
Ultimately, integral coaching is a way to be “seen” as a true self, to unlock what is at the core of the client so that they can feel freer, so that they have more choices and so that their experiences can continue to expand into the world around them. Integral coaching offers a new way of being in the world.
Integral coaching methodology with ChVmpion Mind:
The integral coaching model has to do with human development. It is based on changing the structure of people’s interpretation through self-observations and practices, through the areas of language, body and emotion (Emotional Intelligence). Instead of asking “What do you want?”, the question asked is “Why do you want what you want?”. The answer points to what is meaningful to a person and how it can then be transformed with purpose.
An overall change
Holistic coaching is designed to make people more aware of their current approach to situations and develop new ways of doing things to achieve what matters to them. It guides you through change and helps you develop the skills you need to effectively integrate change into your professional and personal life. We all have limited belief systems, habits and blind spots. We also don’t always know what works for us or what will work for us. Instead of doing more of what we have always done, we need to shift our focus to what is meaningful to us. The integral coaching method, therefore, changes the client’s relationship with himself and the world.
Why work with an integral coach?
Coaches who specialize in integral coaching seek long-term sustained excellence rather than focusing on short-term goals. The coach is there to help broaden current views on a particular topic and develop the skills needed to live with broader views on that topic in both their personal and professional lives. The challenge is for the client to broaden their awareness beyond the myopic way they have normally approached something because it is “what they know” or because it is the usual way of doing things. Instead, they should try to see situations with “fresh eyes” and from multiple perspectives. This will allow them to develop a lasting mindset change and incorporate a completely new way of thinking and being.
Working with a coach who specializes in holistic coaching will therefore bring more confidence and personal credibility, behavioral flexibility, better relationships and greater performance and commitment at work and in life in general.
Integral Coaching: A conversation that transforms and generates new perspectives.
Integral coaching is an invitation to discovery, to realize that we are blind in some areas where we don’t know we don’t know we don’t know. It allows us to see the future as something we can design. It helps us to distinguish that our thoughts are only our particular way of seeing the world and not an absolute truth. It also allows us to see our moral boundaries as personal choices. With this in mind, an integral coach assists a person in a conversation in which he or she will listen and ask questions aimed at transforming the person’s vision so that he or she can become a different observer of life and thus achieve what was not possible before.

Culture can never be static. The enemy of every good Corporate Culture is: "We have always done it this way". Culture must continue to evolve. Because the needs of our customers change, because our business and society change, because we change. Culture is continuously changing. And we all shape it.
We are Deutsche Telekom - but who are we exactly?
Our identity is unmistakable. It says that we are proud of who we are, understand what connects us, we are aware of our main differentiators and we know who we want to become. During our Living Culture activities, more than 5,000 colleagues discussed and shared their thoughts on why we do what we do, what is our motivation to get up for work in the morning, and essentially, why do we as Deutsche Telekom exist? What is our purpose?
We are more than 200,000 colleagues worldwide, working together to make the life of millions of customers and thousands of corporations better. We want to make an impact on the society. And therefore, WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL EVERYONE IS CONNECTED. This is our purpose that should reflect in every step we take and in every interaction we make. With such a noble purpose in hand, who wouldn’t like to take part? It’s up to our passion and dedication, but more importantly, it’s up to all of us!
Feel the Purpose - Then live it
And we start now, not tomorrow. We're not waiting for someone to tell us how to make this idea work. And we won’t stop. No matter our background, our location or our job role: our identity connects us.
And we are living in a highly demanding era, where success is granted only by exceeding customer needs and serving the society, so that no one is left behind. That’s right, no one. Our ambition is to open up the digital possibilities of now and tomorrow to society. Not only by sharing our experiences and ideas via our best network, i.e. connecting people with people, but also by connecting people with machines and machines with each other.
We stand for a human society, where people live in freedom, exchange opinions, feelings and knowledge by taking part in everything, from Wikipedia to TV, from gaming to blockchain scooters. We stand for a society where technology advances prosperity and sustainability, because it is a human need and a human right to be connected. It’s meaningful and inspiring. Feel it. We are not just another company, we can touch the lives of others and make a lasting difference. Now, live it.
Our Purpose in action
Every culture is based on common values. We have defined Guidelines for ourselves from these values. But they are not chiseled in for all eternity. In other words, culture is always developing. People shape and change culture. It was therefore a logical step to adapt or renew our previous guiding principles.
It’s very important that we are one team, one Deutsche Telekom. There is no one up there, down there. That is why we have completely deleted the six leadership principles. Now, there is only one set of values: for all of us, whether employees or managers. This is a big step toward ONE identity and ONE culture.
No past, no future
What is good and proven will remain. The core values are still with us, part of our DNA and our Magenta blood. What had to be changed is adapted. In this way, we maintain the value "I am Deutsche Telekom - you can count on me" as an expression of our reliability and trustworthiness. As a symbol of openness and the willingness to develop the company and oneself personally, we are adding the guideline "Stay curious and grow". We embrace change. It is not a threat, but an opportunity. Everyone is also developing personally, working on their knowledge and skills, expanding their competencies. In the spirit of our new principle “Get things done”: we are entrepreneurial and solution-oriented – this is how we stay ahead of our competition.
Our Living Culture is beyond vital for success. And we have an ambition that is bigger than any of us. Not egomania, but team spirit is the key to a strong culture. What we are doing really matters. When culture is strong, we can trust everyone to do the right thing. It’s simple - we link our day-to-day work to a larger, shared purpose. | [

Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
When asked to give fans a Haleb spoiler, Marlene tweeted "Dong Po."
Now, if you haven't been hanging on Marlene's every tweet obsessively, that doesn't tell you much. However, the most devoted of Marlene's fans will realize it's a reference to a dialogue snippet from the premiere that she tweeted several weeks ago:
"'I thought the point of cooking together was being together'/'It is and tonight I promise we'll make a sizzling Dong Po.'"
Marlene also predicted that "DONG PO will trend when 301 air," which makes us think that "sizzling Dong Po" refers to more than just Chinese food.
Marlene has previously said there will be two "spicy" love scenes in the premiere, and now we're thinking (and hoping) that one might feature Haleb. | [

Background: Symptomatic dengue virus infections can present with a wide range of clinical manifestations, from mild febrile illness to a life-threatening shock syndrome or organ dysfunction.
Objectives: To study the clinical manifestations and laboratory findings of dengue cases, which is important for patient management and crucial for saving life.
Material and Methods: Hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted from July to December 2015, included suspected dengue cases aged 16 years and above admitted in the medical wards of the hospital. Detailed epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory parameters recorded. Chi-square (χ2) test and descriptive statistics were analyzed using SPSS (17.0).
Results: Of the total 114 patients, 64 (56.1%) males and 50 (43.8%) were females. Majority of the affected patients were in the age group of 31–40 years (6 (31.5%)). Commonest symptom and sign observed was fever in 103 (90.3%). Signs of quadrant/epigastric tenderness, tachycardia, flushing were observed in more than > 50% of the patients and bradycardia, right upper shifting dullness, evidence of pleural effusion, shortness of breath, low blood pressure, low urine output, cold extremities were observed in less than 30% of patients. The commonest complication was severe abdominal bloating (8 (7.0%)), major bleeding and hepatitis in 5 (4.3%) of the patients. Briefly, 13 (11.4%) required the ICU treatment. In total, 107 (93.8%) had thrombocytopenia, raised AST and ALT in 89 (78.0%), leucopania in 74 (64.9%), ascites in 71 (62.2%), gall bladder wall edema in 64 (56.1%), and hematocrit in 28 (24.5%) of the patients. Also, 92 (80.7%) patients were NS1 positive.
Conclusion: Manifestations of dengue cases are acute and varied. Proper confirmation of diagnosis, early institution of therapy helps in dengue prevention and management.

Despite all the ballyhooing about whether or not Kickstarter is right for people like Rob Thomas and Zach Braff, people still gave them plenty of money to fund their projects. And now the world has a Veronica Mars movie on the way. Whether or not this is a good thing remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: they are actually making it. And they are showing off footage to the world, beginning at yesterday’s Comic-Con panel. Less than 24-hours later, the rest of the world can get a look at what Thomas, Kristen Bell and a number of familiar faces have been working on.
The first look featurette includes some talking heads, a few thanks-yous to fans who contributed to Kickstarter and in the last minute or so, a teaser full of actual footage from the movie. At first glance, it looks just like the TV show.

reason, too. Analysis was a big part of me, having had a classical education at an excellent university, that included Latin, Classical Greek, philosophy and plenty of math.
But, I do not overuse it. Our mind neither nurtures nor redeems. Grace does, especially that received by knowing, relationally---not mentally, conceptually---a loving God and keeping good company with emotionally healthy and mature people.
Living in American culture requires wariness of the curse of Western Civilization. Thinking. Over-thinking. Over-emphasis on our mind. Spirituality is relegated to something done two or three times a year, if that. Culturally---not spiritually----Americans observe what were once true religious holidays. They are now promoted as occasions for spending money (Christmas gifts) or purchasing candy (Easter), for example.
Having a spiritual awakening was critical for me garnering the characterological strength that allows me to surmount emotional bullies and vulnerabilities created by childhood and adolescent trauma. My relationship with God is REAL. Nurturing, gentle and loving it is, as well as empowering and joy producing. Write me a letter if you would like to know how this became true for me. Or if you would like to have it, too.
My faith was once filled with dread, judgment, condemnation. Not now. Am I glad. My life is filled with joy and hope. I am lucky to know a strength not gotten by determination, but by surrender.
Back to what is happening to me. The wings of my inner self are unfurling, including once dormant feelings. This is making a happier innkeeper. But I remain wary.
Gratitudes:"Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the issues of life." Proverbs 4:23
1. For the joy of being comfortable in my own skin. This is wrought from doing a lot of work----learning, applying principles above the vulnerable parts of my personality.
2. For having presence of mind, not reacting when confronted with conflict or disappointment. This clear, calm response to drama is abnormal. It becomes normal when we train ourselves by exercising recovery principles. This may be a better link, you decide.
3. I took a four hour nap tonight. I feel much better. I love feeling rested. Providing balance to my hectic schedule is necessary for the serenity and sanity I seek.
4. For living by boundaries. Without them, life becomes chaos. Boundaries is never about being strict. Boundaries are neutral. Like a wall. If a person slams into a wall at 85 mph and dies, it is not the walls fault. He died because he was out of control.
5. For Precious. A Himalayan cat. She lives with me, becoming a part of my inner circle. She loves unconditionally and has taken a shining to me.
6. For my life. I would want no other. It is full, fulfilling, joyous, free. I am making it count. I have excellent friends and it is devoid of emotional vampires, narcissists and rageaholics. I am blessed.
7. I look forward to a special time tomorrow morning. This time is my highlight of the day.

Many factors affect the outcome of the nurses’ work in regards to the patients’ health. Unionization of the registered workers union has brought many changes to the health sector. There are claims that the hospitals that have nurses’ unions are having positive results of acute myocardial infarction as compared with hospitals that do not have any union. However, these facts are not well established and the study, done in California, seeks to establish, whether these facts work, and how the unions affect the outcome of the work, done by nurses. The hospitals with unions may be having some unique operation tactics that other hospitals lack, and this may be attributed to the changes, caused by the unions. Though some people and labor unions claim that the nurses in the unions compromise the safety of their patients, the registered nurses claim, otherwise, and have in the recent years done a lot to change this perception.
Analysis, carried out on how the mortality rates of the patients, suffering from heart problems, has not shown a connection between the unionization of registered nurses and the outcomes from the cases. The samples from California hospitals, however, show that the mortality rates are lower in unionized hospitals. The advantages that nurses get from unionized hospitals may be the reason for the positive results, though there are some cases, where the results are the same for all hospitals. The nurses union provides an umbrella that protects the interests of the nurses and advocates for better treatment of their members. The union provides a forum, where nurses can speak in one voice and make a collective bargain on issues, affecting them. The patients also benefit from the collective bargaining because the good working conditions of the nurses guarantee them to be with quality care (McClellan, McNeil & Newhouse, 1994).
Research studies reviewed
There are many studies, carried out by different unions, to determine how the unions affect the outcome of the health of the patients. The study on work organization and productivity of nurses, who are in unions, is the first one. It identifies how the different organizational structures affect the productivity of the nurses. The study established that the higher the number of patients a hospital receives the lower the mortality rates. This is because high numbers of patients means more job and experience, which increases the expertise of the nurses. The technology, used in the hospitals, do not directly affects the outcome of the heart attack case, but the care, bestowed in the first 14 hours, does a lot to correct the problem. The other factor, determining the outcome of the case, is the control and autonomy the nurses have over a situation. The unions have a direct effect on the organization of the hospital, and the first one concern the bargaining union that nurses get from being a part of a union. The union determines, how the workers will work, because they control, how the management organizes the schedule of the nurses. The other effect of unions on the organization is the productivity of the workers in terms of the pricing strategies applied (McClellan, McNeil & Newhouse, 1994).
The other study carried out is the effects of wages and the seniority of a nurse in the hospital. The registered nurses union has a higher wage rate, when compared with other lower unions. The nurses in this union have a higher salary and this makes the quality of their work higher, as compared with other unions. This is because high wages prompts the employers to look for nurse with high qualification and with good nursing practices, which in turn lead to a high quality service delivery. The seniority of nurses in unions arises from the union systems that raise the salary of their members and create good working conditions for the nurses. The registered nurses unions have a long tenure, when it comes to nurse’s turnover, as compared with hospitals with no unions. This is because the registered nurses unions provide a guarantee of high wages and seniority, which keeps the nurses in a hospital for long periods.
The study on communication effect on the mortality rates showed that the formal communication in unionized hospitals increased the delivery of vital information from the nurses to the management, which, in a way, helps to reduce the number of mortalities in a hospital. The informal communication between members of a union and the hospital management can also protect employees from unfair dismissals, when the nurses complain about how things are done in the hospital. This way, the nurses can tell the management what needs to be done to improve the services, given to their patients (Seago & Ash, 2002).
The staffing levels in unionized hospitals are high as compared to hospitals with no nurses unions. This is because unions negotiate for more nurses to work in the facility in an effort to increase the level of care to patients. However, if the unions negotiate or demand high wages, the hospitals may quit hiring nurses or slow down the rates of hiring them.
The study of the confounding factors that may play a role in determining the rates of heart attacks and services, offered by the unions. The environmental factors, different hospital characteristics, and the patient’s characteristics determine the outcome of the care, bestowed | [

How Does Weather and Humidity Affect Steel?
The combination of moisture, dampness, oxygen, and salt, particularly sodium chloride, harms metal more awful than rust. This mixture corrodes or degrades the metal, rendering it ineffective and causing it to self-destruct. Saltwater destroys metal at a far faster rate than fresh water, and the strong, sticky sea air erodes metal at a much faster rate than regular air. To shield your steel from climate and moistness, there are kinds of defensive covering you can utilize. Powder covering is the point at which a dry powder is equitably applied to a perfect surface. At that point, the article is warmed, transforming the powder into a thin film. Acrylic, polyester, nylon, vinyl, epoxy, and urethane powders are accessible. Powders are applied to utilize an electrostatic shower process. The electrically conductive item is showered with a charged, non-leading powder.
Rust can bargain your metals' quality, making them delicate and shortening their life expectancy. Rust possibly shapes when conditions are correct when there are sufficient water and air. Iron will rust when the relative dampness noticeable all around moves above half, and steel rusts when the relative mugginess arrives at 80%. At daybreak, the air temperature rises quicker than thick solids, and dampness consolidates on the cold metal surfaces. One approach to forestall rust is to change the shop condition – either heats the shop to keep the apparatuses surfaces warm or introduce a dehumidifier to expel the air's moistness.
With regards to keeping your metals putting their best self forward while additionally looking after toughness, forestalling rust, in any case, is vital. Introduction to outside conditions is the thing that makes steel rust and expands the danger of rust, mainly if the atmosphere is stormy or damp. Utilize enduring steel, otherwise called Corten steel, which contains up to 21% of alloying components, such as chromium, copper, nickel, and phosphorus. The compounds structure a defensive rust patina, which lessens the consumption rate with time. Corten steel will, in general, be less expensive than hardened steel. In a hot and dry atmosphere, metal is significantly less inclined to rusting than in a moist or wet atmosphere. Rust is the result of a procedure called "Erosion." metal consumes when it experiences a synthetic response, including the oxygen in the water. On the off chance that the metal is kept dry consistently, it is significantly less liable to begin rusting than continually being presented to rain or too high dampness that gathers on the metal.
Winter weather affects the rate of metal rusting from a reason past the temperature and dampness factors. At the point when an area gets a lot of days on the streets, the outcome is that the neighborhood division of highways or thruways will put salt or other deicing substances down on the streets. Salt and different meanings put down to manage frigid streets incredibly increment the rate at which rust structures on structures, vehicles, and other structures. The rust advancement attributes under consistent temperature and moistness have been led to build up a development forecast technique for rust on weathering steel.
To accomplish a long existence of enduring steel spans, assurance of a few issues is required. Mainly, rust assessment innovation, rust expectation strategy, and fix the design of consumed weathering steel are noteworthy. Various focuses of saltwater showered on steel test pieces and,- were set in a steady temperature and mugginess test vessel to watch the advancement of rust in-plane bearing. At the point when a zinc covering is utilized on steel, the zinc will erode; however, it will secure the steel. It is used as a conciliatory covering to secure the steel. The iron molecules in steel will promptly oxidize within sight of oxygen. Whenever kept dry and inside moderate stickiness levels, a slim surface layer of iron oxide, alluded to as "Steady rust," will frame and, to a considerable degree, secure the steel. | [

Preservation Chicago recognizes the need for Misericordia’s extraordinary housing and services. We strongly support this important work, and we believe it is possible to both meet the high demand for Misericordia housing and repurpose the historic Chicago Town & Tennis Club building at 1925 W. Thome Avenue in the West Ridge neighborhood of Chicago.
We encourage the City of Chicago to work with Misericordia to achieve a zoning density and site plan that can accommodate housing for at least 150 Misericordia clients, while keeping the historic building intact either for adaptive reuse by Misericordia or to sell to a preservation-minded developer.
PLEASE sign the petition today to support this approach that allows for the housing units so desperately needed by Misericordia’s clients while also saving an important historic Chicago asset.
Misericordia desires to build additional housing units to accommodate individuals with developmental disabilities. Their current plan provides 150 new units, but it has a waitlist of more than 300 individuals. By allowing a higher-density zoning on existing Misericordia land as well as the Chicago Town & Tennis Club 3.5-acre site, Misericordia could build more than the 150 units currently planned and partially offset its $7.5 million purchase price for the historic club by selling the building to a private developer. The historic building occupies only a small area of the 3.5 acre site.
Misericordia has applied for a demolition permit for the Chicago Town & Tennis Club. Because the building is orange-rated on the Chicago Historic Resource Survey (indicating its high level of historic significance), a 90-day demolition hold has been placed on the permit application. The delay will expire in March 2020 at which time a demolition permit will be released.
The Chicago Town & Tennis Club was designed by architect George W. Maher in 1924. George W. Maher is an important Chicago architect and was a contemporary of legendary architects Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan. The historic building and extensive gardens were constructed in the Tudor revival style and modeled on the Wimbledon tennis club in England. After it became the Unity Church, the historic building was carefully and comprehensively restored in 2002 by Vinci-Hamp Architects which converted the dining room into its magnificent sanctuary and other rooms into an art gallery and a social hall.
The historic building retains much of its original character including its vaulted ceilings and grand ceilings, stained glass, decorative tile, and ornamental plasterwork. On the exterior of the building, its high gables, half-timbering, slate roof and decorative brickwork all remain including the original stone carvings depicting a pair of tennis rackets. The building is orange-rated per the Chicago Historic Resources Survey which confirms its important architectural significance to the West Ridge community and Chicago.
In addition to the proposal to change zoning density to accommodate more units of housing on Misericordia’s property, some other options include:
Option 1. A land swap with the Chicago Park District and the adjacent Emmerson Park. Misericordia would receive vacant land to build the addition residential units and the Chicago Park District would receive the Chicago Town and Tennis Club/Unity Church building. The historic building would become the new Emmerson Park Field House and provide much needed services to the West Ridge Community that the Chicago Park District’s current modest shed building cannot support. The Chicago Park District could include the historic building on its list of event spaces throughout Chicago that are able to be rented for weddings and other celebrations. This is an important amenity for the wider Chicago community and one which generates significant income for the Chicago Park District to support operations. Other than the need to provide elevator ADA access to the second floor, the historic building is in excellent condition. This use could be quickly implemented as it has been successfully hosting events and celebrations for decades as Unity Church.
Option 2. If Misericordia wishes to retain the historic building, in addition to using the building for its program delivery, the nonprofit could host weddings and events to generate additional revenues to support their mission and operations. Misericordia residents with developmental disabilities could gain valuable work experience though employment during these events. Lastly, this use would serve to better integrate the Misericordia and West Ridge communities.
Option 3. Misericordia could donate the building to the Chicago Park District. The historic building could be moved a few hundred feet to the adjacent Emerson Park, a Chicago Park District park. Although logistically the most complicated, such a donation could provide a substantial benefit to the wider West Ridge community and also divert a great deal of materials from ending up in landfills. A larger facility would be a substantial community asset. The saved cost of demolition could be used to offset a portion of the cost to move the historic building. Initial estimates suggest that the cost of demolition and the cost of relocation are comparable.

Java Keytool is a key and certificate management utility. It allows users to manage their own public/private key pairs and certificates.
Java Keytool stores the keys and certificates in what is called a keystore. It protects private keys with a password.
Each certificate in a Java keystore is associated with a unique alias.
When creating a Java keystore you will first create the.jks file that will initially only contain the private key,
then generate a CSR. Then you will import the certificate to the keystore including any root certificates.
Steps to manually import certficicates into KeyStore
1. Create a KeyStore in machine
keytool -keystore <KeyStoreName> -genkey -alias <Key Store Alias> eg: keytool -keystore mykeystore -genkey -alias myalias
2. Get the Certificate File and keep it in a location
eg: Certificate file name is scarlet.cer
3. Import the Certificate as a Trusted Certificate to keystore
keytool -import -alias <AliasName> -keystore <KeyStoreName> -file <FilePath> eg: keytool -import -alias susan -keystore mykeystore -file scarlet.cer | [

While all of this work has been going on, other
crews have been working on completing the GEM's massive boom.
Here's the head end of the boom, with the Point
Sheaves in place. The Hoist cables for the dipper will pass over
these sheaves and loop around the sheaves attached to the dipper. The
ends of the hoist cables will then be attached to fixed clevis's just
below ( and inline with ) the point sheaves. | [

BAKU, September 22. /TASS/. Azerbaijan is prepared to hold talks with Armenia on the settlement in Nagorno-Karabakh to change the status quo in the conflict, the country’s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said on Thursday on the sidelines of the 71st session of the UN General Assembly.
At the meeting with OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier, Mammadyarov said that "Azerbaijan is ready for substantive talks for changing the current status quo in the spirit of meetings (of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents) in Vienna and St. Petersburg," Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry said.
Azerbaijan’s top diplomat claimed that Armenia is conducting a policy "inflicting damage to the negotiating process." Mammadyarov said "the military drills launched by Armenia in the occupied Agdamsky district of Azerbaijan are a serious provocation aimed at disrupting the negotiating process."
The situation along the contact line between the conflicting parties in Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed territory between Armenia and Azerbaijan, sharply deteriorated overnight to April 2 when fierce clashes broke out. Both parties accused each other of violating the truce. At a meeting of chiefs of General Staff of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Moscow, an agreement on a ceasefire was reached starting from noon local time (0800GMT) on April 5. Since then, the parties have reported ceasefire violations along the contact line.
A trilateral statement adopted at the meeting of the Russian, Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents in St. Petersburg on June 20 confirmed the parties’ commitment to normalizing the situation along the contact line in Nagorno-Karabakh. | [

Mining and industrial facilities face numerous water resource related challenges from planning and development to permitting and operations. Proposed mining facilities must evaluate potential adverse impacts to water resources to obtain development approvals. Industrial facilities can benefit from efficient reuse of water to aid in reducing disposal and operational costs and to demonstrate sustainable use of water resources. Geothermal well systems for temperature control of air conditioning and heating systems provide unique opportunities for energy cost savings and reuse of water sources. Water Science Associates staff have provided water resource evaluations in support of development approvals, design, and operations at many mining and industrial clients in the past 30 years. Our staff have been involved in turn-key solutions for geothermal systems for heat exchange at numerous facilities in South Florida.

Editor's note: Jim Cramer told viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show on Tuesday that Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) and Potash (POT) are two ugly ducklings set to become beautiful swans. Here's another stock with those same characteristics.NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Last year Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ) was a market dog, its shares falling from $26 to $16. Now it has made almost all of that loss back, but in technology terms it is still ridiculously undervalued. You're paying less than $1 for every $2 in HP sales, in an industry where the reverse ratio is considered pretty low. Oracle ( ORCL), with barely one-third of HP's sales, is still worth more than three times as much to shareholders. Although CEO Meg Whitman told analysts on her latest earnings call that you can "feel the turnaround," as VentureBeat wrote, it's hard to see that in the numbers. Profits are finally there, but they are anemic, and sales are continuing their slow slide down. continue to plummet and that Bradley's replacement, Don Weisler, had been running that same Asia-Pacific sales group before stepping into his new job, spending most of his career with Lenovo and Acer. Then there's the cloud. announced last year, is starting to take some big wins, such as Dreamworks, as Zacks notes, but not all the wins it's announcing are actually wins. At a recent HP Discover event in Las Vegas, for instance, software chief Bill Veght loudly claimed Workday ( WKDY) as a customer. But SiliconAngle learned a few days later that Workday company remained tied to Amazon ( AMZN) and its public cloud. The NSA PRISM scandal has also driven many cloud customers underground, writes GigaOm research analyst David Linthicum, causing European customers to resist any contact with American cloud companies. HP's idea of "Converged Cloud" is that companies would have the ability to integrate public clouds like Amazon Web Services with their own private clouds, which HP is building with open-source OpenStack. But open-source suddenly looks very bad if the NSA has a key. | [

At the start of a meeting in Syracuse Common Council chambers on Tuesday afternoon, councilor Bob Dougherty offered transportation planner Paul Mercurio his bike helmet.
"Want to wear this during your presentation?" Dougherty asked. Mercurio didn't take him up on the offer but had he, it wouldn't have raised an eyebrow.
Mercurio was presenting the city's latest updates to the Syracuse Bike Plan -- one piece of the city's ongoing Comprehensive Plan to improve life and culture in Syracuse.
Members of the Neighborhood Preservation Committee -- Common Councilors Jean Kessner, Jake Barrett, Dougherty and later Van Robinson -- heard Mercurio's brief presentation, which was followed by audience questions and comments. Andrew Maxwell, director of planning and sustainability, helped Mercurio present.
Several dozen people attended the meeting, including several who carried in bike helmets and shared stories of riding through the city. Many applauded Mercurio and Maxwell's efforts to make the city easier to navigate by bike and safer for riders.
The plan is still very much in the planning stages, Mercurio said. His office has been soliciting feedback from the community for more than a year about what riders want and need in Syracuse. It's helped shaped the evolving plan, which could be ready to present to the Common Council by the fall.
Here's a link to Mercurio's presentation from Tuesday.
Also check out he latest proposed bike map. Community feedback has helped identify different streets for a proposed bike route, Mercurio said. Residents in the Valley, Eastwood and Strathmore neighborhoods, to name a few, recommended new and different routes, particularly roads that weren't as heavily trafficked or had safer intersections with busy roads, Mercurio said.
Have ideas on the bike plan? Reach Mercurio 315-448-8511 or [email protected].
And if you're itching to "get behind the wheel," Dougherty made a pitch for the latest upcoming Cycle in the City event. Riders will meet at 9 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 5 at the Inner Harbor parking lot on West Kirkpatrick Street for a 10-mile ride.
"Each ride is a guided tour of a different city neighborhood. Riders must be at least 12 years old; under 16 accompanied by an adult and helmets are mandatory," according to the city's website.
If you can't make it this Sunday, upcoming rides are Sept. 9 and Oct. 14.
Best of all, according to Dougherty, the ride is pretty much flat.

Michael Pennington was found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to life without parole Friday.
Leasa Carroll, 58, was found stabbed to death at a McKinney residence after police were called to a domestic disturbance at about 10:45 p.m. on July 4, 2016. Michael Pennginton, 32 at the time, was arrested at the scene.
Back in 2016, several neighbors told WFAA that McKinney police officers made frequent stops to the home over the course of years.
"I've lived here five years and it's been constant," said one neighbor referring to how often police respond to the home. | [

We've studied word problems that allow for you to write an equation in slope intercept form.
How do we know when a problem should be solved using an equation written in standard form?
Every word and number shown in the applet is clickable.
Numbers can be increased or decreased depending on whether you click a little to the right or to the left of their vertical center line.
Let x represent the cost of an adult ticket and y represent the cost of a child ticket. If we add the adult tickets and children tickets together, we will have a total.
I know how difficult it is to not only learn the skill, but then to be able to apply the skill.
Play by ear: pay attention to those small modifications that do not distort the of the problem.
As an example, let's start with one of the simplest problems.
// Many formulations are possible for a single problem.
// Only one is shown at a time // e - equation - equation is like a formulation with a // potential provision to, e.g., enclose negative numbers // into parentheses // a - answer - like an equation, but allowed to have a parsable // portion. | [

HIGH ENERGY CELL TREATMENT
HECT is applied to horses using our high-frequency therapy device equitron-pro.
High-frequency pulses are sent to the affected area via the treatment loop of the device.
Signals are emitted from the affected areas and processed in the brain.
The cells then activate the corresponding genes and produce proteins, which then promote the healing of the injury. Already after one application of HECT, the production of these proteins is increased enormously, which speeds up the healing process.
THERAPY EXPERIENCE WITH RESULTS
The innovative treatment method using HECT (High Energy Cell Treatment) sets new standards in pain therapy.
Regardless of whether in rehabilitation after injuries, muscle tension, problems due to natural asymmetries or in diagnostics, the innovative HECT therapy has been proven to achieve remarkable therapeutic successes.
HECT is based on the induction of strong energy fields. Due to the nature of the magnetic impulse field of the equitron as a high-frequency magnetic field with 135 kilohertz, the pulse oscillates from plus to minus 135,000 times per second. This extremely high frequency of discharging and recharging the cell within a very short time, which is only possible in the high frequency range, guarantees that the application is completely harmless to the organism, especially the heart.
The treatment is absolutely painless.
The clinical study by the Paracelsus Medical Private University Salzburg with the deviceequitron-pro proves:
No cell damage possible
No stimulation of uncontrolled cell growth (e.g. sarcoids/tumors)
Efficacy study published in the journal “Cells” (scientific journal on cell biology from the USA). | [

Everyone we saw supporting abortion rights at the Downriver Rally for Bodily Autonomy in Wyandotte
On Thursday, an estimated 1,800 people gathered at Wyandotte's Bishop Park for the Downriver Rally for Bodily Autonomy to protest in support of the right to abortion. The rally and march comes days after the conservative U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that protected the right to abortions. The march was attended by Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and Jaime Churches, a 5th grade teacher who is running for state Representative for District 27, which includes Gibraltar, Grosse Ile, Trenton, Riverview, Wyandotte, and the south of Southgate. The group Reproductive Freedom for All is gathering signatures to put the issue of protecting abortion rights on the November ballot.

Charlotte Mecklenburg’s New Main Library, NC Building, Modern North Carolina Architecture Images
Main Library in Charlotte, North Carolina
Large Building Development in NC, USA design by Snøhetta and Clark Nexsen
Nov 8, 2019
Architects: Snøhetta and Clark Nexsen
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
Main Library Charlotte
In the heart of Uptown Charlotte, a new Library is taking shape. Designed by Snøhetta in collaboration with Clark Nexsen, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library’s new Main Library expansively re-imagines the vital role of the library in the daily life of the community.
Helming a public library system comprised of 20 branch libraries that welcomes 3.4 million visitors each year, the 115,000 square-foot new Library will allow Charlotte Mecklenburg Library to embrace its mission to become more than just a Library, but also serve as a public commons.
Supported by funding from Mecklenburg County and a major grant by the Knight Foundation, and as the centerpiece of an existing cultural district and burgeoning development in Charlotte’s Uptown, the new, technologically-advanced library is a signal investment in a culture of making, thinking, and doing that is deeply tied to its people and its place.
Sited at the intersection of two main arteries, Tryon and 6th Street, the library is located at the center of the rapidly changing North Tryon corridor and occupies a significant location in Charlotte’s geography and cultural history. Settled by the British in 1768, the city emerged along the contours of a ridgeline, which supported a rich history of trading paths that were first carved out by the Indigenous inhabitants of the Piedmont region and would then become modern-day Tryon Street. Building on the site’s topographical history, the design draws on the concept of the ridgeline literally and figuratively: it generates views in a variety of directions and as a convergence point for community and culture.
Rising five stories, the building anchors the corner with a glowing, translucent prow that cantilevers out over the sidewalk, opening itself up to the street. At street level, the façade is glazed in a transparent band of glass that wraps the tapered corner, allowing views deep into the library and its activity. A glowing copper soffit frames the new main entrance on Tryon Street, inviting visitors in under its welcoming canopy. Within, there is an open lobby space with the potential to be connected to the historic McGlohon Theatre and Duke Energy Theater next door to form a new civic space.
At the rear, a new midblock plaza activates additional sides of the building for the public to engage with and the surrounding public realm. Above the glass podium, the library pulls back on its theatre-side to reveal McGlohon’s western face, previously hidden in a narrow alley. The sloped wall of the Tryon façade is clad in ceramic panels inspired by North Carolina’s rich history of earthenware and artisanry. Evoking a screen, or a patterned textile, the façade is strategically perforated to modulate light conditions within.
Within the library, a soaring atrium opens to the uppermost level of the library, allowing visitors to orient themselves immediately to the activities within and inspiring them to move upwards through the library. As visitors trace the spiraling wooden stair upwards, the building offers unique views out to the city and access to fresh air through the outdoor terrace spaces nested on the second and fifth floor. A diversity of popular public programming is offered throughout the building, including job training and counseling; a resource and welcome center for new Mecklenburg residents ; and the celebrated Carolina Room, which holds an archive of rare books and artifacts on the history of North Carolina.
As Charlotte’s new public commons and knowledge center, the revitalized Main Library creates a bridge between the past, present, and rapidly evolving future of Charlotte, reconceiving how the Library connects to people and everyday life. The flexibility and diversity of the spaces and activities offered within will ensure that the building will meet the dynamically changing needs of contemporary Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
Snøhetta and Clark Nexsen reveal design for Charlotte’s new Main Library reconceiving how the Library connects to people and everyday life. The flexibility and diversity of the spaces and activities offered within will ensure that the building will meet the dynamically changing needs of contemporary Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
From its early days as a Carnegie library, the Main Library has undergone several transformations during its 116-year history and remains a vital institution to the community. However, in its current incarnation, the building no longer supports the breadth of its programmatic ambitions and the changing needs and role of the contemporary library.
With the County’s growth and influx of residents in the last decade, the revitalization of the Main Library was identified by | [

"We've been lucky. We've been able to live by what we love. And to live painting, as we have, wherever we have, is to live passion and imagination and connection and adoration, all the best of life—to be more alive than the rest."
It had always bothered me that we rarely learned about female painters in my college art history courses, especially the ones before our modern era. The one exception was Artemisia Gentileschi, the daughter of an Italian Baroque painter (Orazio Gentileschi) who stood out as a luminary despite great odds.
Raped, humiliated at the trial, and then treated as an anomaly because of her passion for painting, Artemisia was the first female painter to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence. Her paintings depicted strong women who had suffered, often with a Biblical theme.
You can tell that Susan Vreeland really enjoyed writing about Artemisia, and while this was a fictional novel, I found that it was incredibly accurate and well-written. I could tell that behind every word was Vreeland's passion for telling this story. She wants you to know about Artemisia, to love her, to cheer her on. And you do. Even if you're not an art buff, it's impossible not to let the story draw you in. Fans of Wolf Hall, The Agony and the Ecstasy, and Ken Follett will love this book. Recommended.
Her most famous painting was Judith Beheading Holofernes (1611-12), below. | [

Our favorite iPad brain-teasers, logic games, sliding puzzlers, match-three games, and path-finding titles.
Photographs - Puzzle Stories ($3.99/£3.99/AU$5.99)
Photographs - Puzzle Stories is a fusion of narratives and puzzling. A story is slowly revealed in each of the five vignettes, and between scenes you’re tasked with finding an object on the screen, before completing a logic test.
Each vignette has its own type of puzzle, and these are broadly related to the narrative. For example, a story about diving is more or less a side-on shooting game, where you must crack the correct trajectory. The paths get more complex as the competition heats up.
Where Photographs really hits home, though, is in the emotional punch of its stories. These aren’t a facile veneer, but instead dig deep into decisions and consequences. Rare is it that a puzzler can leave you heartbroken, but Photographs will keep you glued to the screen through to its conclusion.
Snakebird Primer ($7.99/£7.99/AU$12.99)
Snakebird Primer features worm-like birds that live on strange levitating islands. The grumpy tube-like avians spend much of their time asleep, or making strange burping noises, but are tasked with reaching a portal. Your aim is to figure out how to get them there.
Despite each level only being a single screen in size, there’s plenty of imagination and complexity in the routes you have to take. Sometimes, you must make birds eat fruit, whereupon they grow, and can be used as bridges for other birds. Elsewhere, you need to manipulate massive Tetris-like blocks someone’s left lying around.
Veteran gamers may find the going a bit easy, but every one of Snakebird Primer’s levels is grin-inducing fun; and if on completion you hanker for a tougher test, there’s always the original – and brain-thumpingly difficult – Snakebird.
Pipe Push Paradise ($3.99/£3.99/AU$5.99)
Pipe Push Paradise is a puzzle game about pipework. You’ve arrived on a desert island that has some seriously dodgy plumbing. The aim is to get the water flowing, albeit not in the usual manner. Here, the pipes are massive and strewn about claustrophobic grid-based rooms.
The only way to get things working is to shove them into place. There’s more than a hint of box-shifting games like Sokoban here, but Pipe Push Paradise adds some twists of its own. Move pipes in a certain way and they rotate. Other times, they must be dumped into pits.
These new ideas radically shake things up, and complicate puzzles that might otherwise have been simple. Although the controls are occasionally a touch fiddly, Pipe Push Paradise proves to be a superb, sunny brain-smasher.
Tiny Bubbles ($3.99/£3.99/AU$5.99)
Tiny Bubbles is a match puzzler set in an underwater world of colorful bubbles. The aim is to match and pop four bubbles of the same color; with luck, this will set off a chain reaction.
Things can never be quite so easy for long, and so Tiny Bubbles lobs various hurdles into its warm bath of delights, such as fish that dart about and inconveniently add new bubbles, and color-mixing. Eventually, you’ll unlock the arcade mode, which tests your reflexes as well as your brain, for example having you keep bubbles within a boundary as new ones are created.
Great-looking, mostly relaxing, and always engaging, Tiny Bubbles is an excellent buy. Also, there are few things more satisfying than popping loads of bubbles – even if they’re on a screen.
Where Shadows Slumber ($4.99/£4.99/AU$7.99)
Where Shadows Slumber has a lush, minimalist art style with more than a whiff of Monument Valley about it, but instead of having you manipulate impossible architecture, Where Shadows Slumber has you rework the landscape by casting shadows across it.
This all happens by way of your lamp. Position yourself just so and structures will shroud an area in darkness; when it’s subsequently lit, what was a hole may become a bridge, or an impassable doorway may be opened.
It’s a captivating organic adventure, where you figure out the rules as you go along.There’s also darkness in this world beyond the shadows, with villainous creatures who’ll seemingly stop at nothing to rob you of your light.

Where are alpha 2a receptors located?
Alpha 2 receptors are found both in the brain and in the periphery. In the brain stem, they modulate sympathetic outflow. Their function in the periphery is not yet fully understood, but they may contribute both to control of sympathetic tone and to local and regional blood flow.
What do alpha-2 antagonists do?
Mechanistically, α2 blockers increase adrenergic, dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmitters and induce insulin secretion, decreasing blood sugar levels.
What are alpha-2 antagonists used for?
The α-2 adrenergic receptor agonists have been used for decades to treat common medical conditions such as hypertension; attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; various pain and panic disorders; symptoms of opioid, benzodiazepine, and alcohol withdrawal; and cigarette craving.
What do adrenergic antagonists do?
Adrenergic antagonists (adrenoblockers) are compounds that inhibit the action of adrenaline (epinephrine), noradrenaline (norepinephrine), and other catecholamines that control autonomic outflow and some functions of the central nervous system at the adrenergic receptors or inhibit their release.
What do beta 2 antagonists do?
Beta-blockers reduce the effects of the sympathetic nervous system on the cardiovascular system. The blockade of beta-1 adrenoreceptors is negatively chronotropic and inotropic, and delays conduction through the AV node.
Is clonidine a full agonist?
Clonidine’s antihypertensive properties are attributable to its action as a partial agonist at alpha-2 adrenoceptors. In particular, it is the activation of these receptors in the brain stem which subserves the ability of clonidine to attenuate blood pressure.
What does ADRA2A stand for?
The alpha-2A adrenergic receptor (α 2A adrenoceptor), also known as ADRA2A, is an α 2 adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it. α 2 adrenergic receptors include 3 highly homologous subtypes: α 2A, α 2B, and α 2C.
What are agonist and antagonist muscles?
In any pair, the agonist muscle contracts, while the antagonist muscle relaxes, allowing for the free movement of our joints and muscles. Let’s use an everyday example of agonist and antagonist muscle pairs to fully realise the definition of the antagonist muscle and its counterpart – the biceps and triceps.
What is alpha 2a adrenergic receptor?
Alpha-2A adrenergic receptor. The alpha-2A adrenergic receptor (α 2A adrenoceptor), also known as ADRA2A, is an α2 adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it.
What is the antagonist of the biceps?
Definition of Antagonist Muscle. There’s another muscle on the underside of your upper arm, called the triceps, or lower arm muscle. The triceps in this case is the antagonist muscle, relaxing and providing movement control while the biceps does the main contraction and movement. An antagonist muscle, just like the antagonist in a novel,… | [

Parent-Child Legal Relationship, Domestic Relations, Illigitimacy, Children's Rights, Marital Relations, Family
This study utilized the phenomenological approach of qualitative research. The information was gathered personally through interview using tape recorder and produced an exact transcription of what had been recorded. Using convenience sampling technique, the study selected nine (9) illegitimate children, male and female who were 15 to 21 years old. These children had different orientation regarding their status as illegitimate. Colaizzi’s method was used for data analysis. The study concluded that, illegitimate children vary on the experiences of being an illegitimate. The degree of affection in their lives also differs and although this experience is the most difficult situation they have encountered, they never give up and still possess courage to continue facing and picking up the broken pieces of their lives.

We are the people driving a new era of intelligent parking, constantly thinking of new ways to improve every stage of the experience.
Our focus enables car manufacturers to get ahead of the curve, confident they have a technology partner of unrivalled expertise. And the reassurance that we will keep them there – with reliable, future-proof solutions.
We are creating high definition indoor maps and the associated technology that will enable map-based navigation within parking facilities, as well as automated valet parking in the future.
Watch our latest demo
Watch the latest production demo of an autonomous vehicle utilising indoor mapping to localise and navigate within a covered car park.
How we do it
Existing multi-storey and underground parking facilities feature diverse floor plans and signage and do not have GPS signal.
We are developing high definition indoor parking maps and corresponding algorithms which can be used to provide navigation to an available parking space within each facility, and direct the driver back to their car.
Autonomous Valet Parking
We are also part of the Autonomous Valet Parking (AVP) consortium, building an automated valet parking system that navigates an autonomous vehicle to an open parking space, executes parking automatically and responds to “return to driver” summons. | [

World's first drone cafe opens in Dutch uni
WOULD you like a drone with your cocktail? The world's first cafe using the tiny domestic unmanned aircraft as waiters has opened in a Dutch university.
The pop-up drone cafe was in business last weekend as part of celebrations for the "Dream and Dare" festival, marking the 60th anniversary of the Eindhoven University of Technology.
The 20 students behind the project, who spent nine months developing and building the autonomous drone, aim to show how such devices could become an essential part of life.
"We see it as the next mobile phone. You choose and you programme it like you want," said student and project leader Tessie Hartjes.
The drone, nicknamed Blue Jay, which resembles a small white flying saucer with a luminescent strip for eyes, flies to a table and hovers as it takes a client's order, who points to the list to signal what they would like.
"The blue eyes of the first drone load" up by scanning the list to register the order, said Ms Hartjes.
"Once it's fully loaded, then the order is ready. And another one comes with the order in a cup in the grip."
The drinks are picked up and carried by a set of pinchers underneath the drone, in a bid to show that these aerial machines could be used to carry out delicate work such as delivering medicines or even help to track down burglars.
Each drone costs about 2,000 euros (S$3,053) to build, which is funded by the university.
Sensors enable the drones to fly inside buildings and navigate crowded spaces, unlike other drones which rely on a Global Positioning System. | [

Types of Interference
A distinction is made in electrical engineering between line-conducted interference and electromagnetic interference. Line-conducted interference, also known as push-pull interference, can be caused by switching devices on and off, via dynamic or synchronised consumers and power sources. This interference overlaps with the useful signal, propagates through the connected cables and enters the hi-fi components directly. Electromagnetic interference, also known as common-mode interference, can be generated by mobile networks, WLAN networks and Bluetooth devices, among other things, and propagates in the form of airborne electromagnetic waves. In this environment, every device and cable acts like an antenna and generates a voltage potential depending on the field’s magnitude. The component’s dimensions and the distance away from the source of the interference are a few of the factors that determine the magnitude
of the field and the resulting potential. As a result, each component of an audio system generates a different interference potential, which leads to equalising currents travelling through the connected cables. These currents, in turn, interfere with the useful signal. | [

The Final Confrontation!!!
It's funny because it's true. Listen we all watched Dragon Ball Z at some point in time. Some of us were lucky enough to catch an episode that was the last part of a long battle and we got to see something happen, but the rest of us... well all we got was a ton of screaming and internal monologue. And before anyone thinks we are just picking on Goku here even my beloved Spiderman is guilty of it. I remember when I was reading it regularly I would often be faced with issues upon issues of back story to the villain and a long drawn out battle just for Spidey to shoot a single line of webbing and tie up the guy. Seriously Spiderman? Why didn't we do that five issues ago? Oh that's right because I NEEDED to see that flashback of when Aunt May made you those oatmeal raisin cookies. That really tied the story together you're right. | [

In this lesson we take a look at the minor arpeggio. We’ll learn what makes up a minor arpeggio, how it differs from the major arpeggio, and its various shapes found on the fretboard.
In part one of guitar triads we looked at major triads and how you can learn these triads based on the CAGED guitar system. In this lesson we’ll take a look at minor triads. If you need a review of triads and how they’re formed, check out part one again. Otherwise, let’s get started!
Triads are the building blocks of chords. If you’re used to playing only full chords, triads will help expand your playing and allow you to create more unique voicings and tones. They’re a great way to spice up your playing by allowing you to easily add little embellishments to your rhythms.
Major arpeggios are when the notes of a chord are played individually one after another. They can be used to add a bit of color to guitar solos and fills.
The power chord. If you’re new to guitar, you may not know what it is, but you’ve surely heard it. It’s the sound of rock n’ roll. These simple two-note chords have been used to create some of the greatest riffs and chord progressions in rock history. In this lesson we’re going to look at the basic power chords for guitar, from construction to the various ways they’re played. | [

SAN FRANCISCO-Meta agreed to alter its ad-targeting expertise and pay a penalty of $ 115,054 on Tuesday, in a settlement with the Justice Department over claims that the corporate had engaged in housing discrimination by letting advertisers limit who was ready to see adverts on the platform primarily based on their race, gender and ZIP code.
Under the settlement, Meta, the corporate previously often known as Facebook, mentioned it could change its expertise and use a brand new computer-assisted technique that goals to often test whether or not the audiences who’re focused and eligible to obtain housing adverts are, in truth, seeing these adverts. The new technique, which is referred to as a “variance discount system,” depends on machine studying to be sure that advertisers are delivering adverts associated to housing to particular protected lessons of individuals.
Meta additionally mentioned it should not use a function known as “particular advert audiences,” a device it had developed to assist advertisers increase the teams of individuals their adverts would attain. The firm mentioned the device was an early effort to battle towards biases, and that its new strategies can be more practical.
“We’re going to be often taking a snapshot of entrepreneurs’ audiences, seeing who they aim, and eradicating as a lot variance as we will from that viewers,” mentioned Roy L. Austin, Meta’s vp of civil rights and a deputy common counsel., mentioned in an interview. He known as it “a big technological development for the way machine studying is used to ship personalised adverts.”
Facebook, which turned a enterprise colossus by accumulating its customers’ knowledge and letting advertisers goal adverts primarily based on the traits of an viewers, has confronted complaints for years that a few of these practices are biased and discriminatory. The firm’s advert methods have allowed entrepreneurs to select who noticed their adverts through the use of hundreds of various traits, which have additionally let these advertisers exclude individuals who fall below quite a few protected classes.
While Tuesday’s settlement pertains to housing adverts, Meta mentioned it additionally plans to apply its new system to test the concentrating on of adverts associated to employment and credit score. The firm has beforehand confronted blowback for permitting bias towards ladies in job adverts and excluding sure teams of individuals from seeing bank card adverts.
“Because of this groundbreaking lawsuit, Meta will – for the primary time – change its advert supply system to deal with algorithmic discrimination,” Damian Williams, a U.S. lawyer, mentioned in an announcement. “But if Meta fails to exhibit that it has sufficiently modified its supply system to guard towards algorithmic bias, this workplace will proceed with the litigation.”
The concern of biased advert concentrating on has been particularly debated in housing adverts. In 2018, Ben Carson, the secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development on the time, introduced a proper criticism towards Facebook, accusing the corporate of getting advert methods that “unlawfully discriminated” primarily based on classes equivalent to race, faith and incapacity. Facebook’s potential for advert discrimination was additionally revealed in a 2016 investigation by ProPublica, which confirmed that the corporate made it easy for entrepreneurs to exclude particular ethnic teams for promoting functions.
In 2019, HUD sued Facebook for participating in housing discrimination and violating the Fair Housing Act. The company mentioned Facebook’s methods didn’t ship adverts to “a various viewers,” even when an advertiser wished the advert to be seen broadly.
“Facebook is discriminating towards folks primarily based upon who they’re and the place they dwell,” Mr. Carson mentioned on the time. “Using a pc to restrict an individual’s housing selections will be simply as discriminatory as slamming a door in somebody’s face.”
The HUD go well with got here amid a broader push from civil rights teams claiming that the huge and sophisticated promoting methods that underpin among the largest web platforms have inherent biases constructed into them, and that tech corporations like Meta, Google and others ought to do extra to bat again these biases.
The space of examine, often known as “algorithmic equity,” has been a big subject of curiosity amongst pc scientists in the sector of synthetic intelligence. Leading researchers, together with former Google scientists like Timnit Gebru and Margaret Mitchell, have sounded the alarm bell on such biases for years.
In the years since, Facebook has clamped down on the sorts of classes that entrepreneurs might select from when buying housing adverts, chopping the quantity down to tons of and eliminating choices to goal primarily based on race, age and ZIP code.
Meta’s new system, which remains to be in growth, will often test on who’s being served adverts for housing, employment and credit score, and ensure these audiences match up with the individuals who entrepreneurs need to goal. If the adverts being served start to skew closely towards white males in their 20s, for instance, the brand new system will theoretically acknowledge this and shift the adverts to be served | [

How Disney’s legendary animator helped Maleficent steal ‘Sleeping Beauty’
When Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty first arrived in theaters in 1959, reviews were mixed, in part because the conceit of a wicked sorceress putting a beautiful princess to sleep seemed like such a blatant Snow White rip-off. But over time, Sleeping Beauty has carved out its own space, no doubt because of its mesmerizing villain, the elegantly evil Maleficent—a fact brought to cinematic fruition this year with Angelina Jolie’s live-action blockbuster. Maleficent wasn’t a hag, like the in-disguise apple-offering witch in Snow White, nor a prim harpy, like Cinderella’s stepmother. She was undoubtedly grotesque, with devilish horns, yellow eyes, and pale green skin… but also beautiful and alluring, especially with the unsettling patrician voice of Eleanor Audley. | [

For fun, I'm trying a project where I estimate the total vocabularies of people on IRC. I have logs from the past few months, and I can easily produce the number of unique vocabulary words spoken by any given person, as well as the total number of words they have spoken. For example, if someone had said "one two three four five six five one four" there would be six unique vocabulary words in that, and 9 total words. However, people speak different amounts. Simply recording the number of vocabulary words a person used would bias heavily in favor of people who talked more. Also, dividing the number of vocab words by the total number of words would bias heavily in favor of people who talked less. So for each person p, I have a function fp(n), which is the number of unique vocabulary words a person has spoken by the time they reach n words. Assuming that people have a limited vocabulary, fp(n) should be bounded from above by a constant vp for each person; vp is the vocabulary size that I wish to estimate. My problem is now to fit a regression curve to fp(n) for each person, in order to estimate the max vocab. Any ideas about the form of this curve? One possibility is to start with the probability Pp(Wi=w) that the i'th word spoken by a person p is w. And one could assume that the Wi are independent. Then fp(n) could be estimated by the number of unique values of Wi, for i = 1,2,...,n. Where to go from here? I don't know. | [

Researchers Combine Salt with Metal Oxides to Dramatically Increase Energy Storage Capacity
An international consortium of US and Chinese researchers has discovered that increasing the surface area of metal oxides with the addition of salt significantly increases their energy storage capability.
The team consists of researchers from Drexel University in the US, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) and Tsinghua University in China. The findings of their research were published in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
The findings show that salt crystals can be used as the foundation to grow thin sheets of conductive metal oxides, allowing the materials to form in larger and more chemically pure molecules. This makes them better adapted to collecting ions and, therefore, storing energy.
“The challenge of producing a metal oxide that reaches theoretical performance values is that the methods for making it inherently limit its size and often foul its chemical purity, which makes it fall short of predicted energy storage performance,” explained Jun Zhou, a leading author of the study.
“Our research reveals a way to grow stable oxide sheets with less fouling that are on the order of several hundreds of times larger than the ones that are currently being fabricated,” added Zhou, who is also a professor at HUST’s Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics.
A Long Way To Go
In principle, the ideal materials in this context would be very thin sheets of metal oxides as their chemical arrangement and high surface area make it easy for electrically charged ions to attach, which is the essence of energy storage.
However, according to the research, the metal oxide sheets that have been developed so far still have a way to go before they reach their theoretical potential.
“The trick in this work is that the crystal structure of salt must match the crystal structure of the oxide, otherwise it will form an amorphous film of oxide rather than a thin, strong and stable nanocrystal. This is the key finding of our research – it means that different salts must be used to produce different oxides,” added Gogotsi.
Although this development is in the early stages of real-world application, it signifies a massive breakthrough in improving energy storage capacity. “Energy storage is becoming an increasingly integral part of electrical supply, transmission and distribution systems because of its cost saving and grid stabilising potential” explains Kenneth Melvin, Head of Energy at Challenge Advisory. “Any progress in increasing energy storing capacity only makes it a more attractive venture for developers, therefore intensifying the expansion of energy storage in the energy industry.” | [

Poland and the International Monetary Fund Policies
The debt crisis of the 1980’s brought to the limelight the central role of the International Monetary Fund in the exchange rate policies of nations. Third world states had to devalue their currencies to an estimated 50% (Elekdag, S., p 630). This condition was precondition for any nation to access any loan from the Institution. Unfortunately, this move led to the increases in prices and compressions in the real earnings of nationals. The move seemed to ravage most states particularly those in Asia. Thailand and Korea for example underwent a serious financial crisis resulting from the condition by the International Monetary Fund.
The crisis was further precipitated by the institutional speculators who deliberately manipulated the currency market to be tilted in their favour. These set precedence for the IMF bailout. The bailout was done in consultation with the Breton woods institutions (World Bank). When Poland broke away from the soviet dominated bloc, it transformed its mainly planned economy to a market economy. At the very onset, in 1990, the polish government developed the Economic Transformation Programme. The plan was meant to stabilize the economy through the transformation of the structures that would see the economy become a market economy parse.
The polish economy was the first in the region to become a capitalist state. This was resultant from the policies that were developed to effectively transform the economy to a market economy. Poland was able to successfully transform without much recession and succeeded in getting a high GDP than had been experienced in the communist regime. The initial years were not characterised by positive development trends. However, years that succeeded the period so Poland transform into one of the first developing economies in central Europe.
The growth was further precipitated by an expansion in the private sector, translating into a GDP growth of 20% in 1999 relative to that in 1989 (Beeson, M., Broome, A., p 399). The policies introduced put the Polish economy on one that was ever-expanding. The polish economy was expanding with exceptional resilience and replete to the external environment with particular reference to the international financial crisis. Unlike countries such as the Czech Republic and Russia which were ravaged by the crisis, Poland’s economic resilience was attributed to the consistent and balanced macroeconomic policies that had been initiated by the IMF.
While the economy exhibited the much resiliency mentioned above, the crisis affected the country’s demand for its exports. Nevertheless, the economy had strengthened enough to withstand the economic tide that was ravaging the neighbouring countries and was able to survive replete of the slowing GDP growth to 1. 7% from the initial growth of 4%. The growth, however, rebounded in the third quarter of the year to 6% of GDP (Woods, N., p 380). The intervention by the International Monetary Fund in the financial operation of states comes with mixed blessings.
From the very psychological perception, it is argued that given that the IMF comes in, in the event of a crisis, tends to make the crisis more likely to occur. It is apparent credit institutions would otherwise offer crisis-prone states loans at a rate lower had it been that the IMF was not available. Within the precincts of the assertion of the critics of the loaning policies of the IMF, the knowledge of the presence of a salvaging institution makes governments fail to put in place sound policies for the regulation and supervision of financial management that would otherwise reduce the likelihood of a crisis.
In Mexico, for example, the intervention of the IMF in the 1995 crisis prompted a massive bailout era. This bailout was characterized by high level risk taking ventures that set precedence for crises in the wider Eastern Asia and Russia. Brazil was hit hard years later as a result of the crisis that was dogging the neighbouring countries. Given, the aspect of the IMF funding being hazardous should not be wished away so lightly. In a way, the interventions by the IMF have mixed fortunes (Woods, N., 393).
In some cases it is appreciable that the financing assists the country to pull away from the brink of collapse, assisting the countries mitigate the adverse effects of any down turn thereof. In some other cases, the interventions streamline the financial institutions and stabilises them altogether. Whole, with the intervention of the IMF, the moral hazard resultant is an unavoidable consequence. Zambia was largely devastated in 1975. The country had its per capita income drop to a quarter of the initial figure. In the same year the terms of trade for copper dropped by an estimated 50% (Beeson, M., Broome, A.
, p 407). Merchandise imports similarly dropped by 25%. The drop affected the production level plunging the country into a crisis. The external situation equally complicated the state that the country was under going especially given that it was beyond the control of the government. The foreign debt for Zambia stood at $4500 million. This debt was due to private companies, banks and foreign governments. The intervention of | [

In an apparent effort to shore up support for its Windows software, Microsoft Corp. on Wednesday announced at a developer conference here that it?s bringing back the Start menu and will offer certain versions of its operating system for free.
The Start menu, which Microsoft eliminated when it released Windows 8 in 2012, will return to Windows in an update, the date of which was not announced. Meanwhile, the company said it will start offering Windows at no charge for smartphones,?Internet of things? devices such as smart thermostats, and tablets with screens smaller than 9 inches.
The Start menu change will make it easier for consumers on PC desktops to find their applications, said Terry Myerson, the company?s executive vice president of operating systems. And by making Windows available for free, Microsoft hopes to broaden the number of devices using it, Myerson added.
?These are exciting times for us and exciting times for developers,? company CEO Satya Nadella said.
The moves also represent a change of direction for the company. Its business model was built around charging for its software, particularly Windows. And the Start-less interface in Windows 8 was meant eventually to replace the traditional computer desktop.
The changes come as Microsoft struggles to compete in a rapidly changing technology market in which it is no longer the dominant player. The traditional PC market has shrunk, and Microsoft has found little enthusiasm among consumers or its corporate customers for Windows 8. Windows Phone is a distant third in market share behind Google?s Android and Apple?s iOS. And Linux and Android are finding widespread use among other consumer electronics devices.
?They are absolutely on the defensive, with their own customers and developers,? said Avi Greengart, an analyst at Current Analysis, a technology research firm.?But they admit it.?
Many of the other announcements at Microsoft?s conference, which largely attracted software programmers, focused on new tools or technologies for building Windows applications. But many of these will also affect consumers. Among them:
The company announced a new version of the Windows Phone software that will roll out later this month. It includes a Siri-like intelligent assistant called Cortana that responds to voice queries and commands. The new software also will add a notification center that?s similar to those found on the iPhone or Android devices and a new keyboard that allows users to type words by swiping from one letter to another without picking up their fingers.
The new version of Windows Phone essentially has the same code at its base as Windows for PCs. That means developers now can create apps that will run on Windows-based smartphones, tablets and PCs. In certain cases, consumers will be able to purchase one app that they can use on their laptop and on their handheld devices. The company is working on technology that will allow users to run these new?universal? apps on the Xbox One game system as well. Company officials demonstrated using the Khan Academy app on the Xbox One.
Microsoft is releasing a new version of the Kinect for Windows PCs based on the Kinect that Microsoft created for the Xbox One.
The upcoming version of Windows for PCs will allow users to run apps designed for the?modern? Windows interface as traditional windowed applications in Windows 8?s desktop interface. The new feature should make it easier for those users who prefer the desktop environment to avoid having to flip back and forth between it and the touch-screen-focused modern interface.
The company showed off a new version of Office that?s designed for the modern, touch-based interface. The current version of Office for Windows 8 is a desktop app, but the company has already been working on redesigning the software for touch-screen devices. Just last week, Microsoft released versions of Word and other Office apps for Apple?s iPad. It didn?t say when it will release the touch-based version for Windows.
Several of the moves represent Microsoft?s effort to play catch-up with competitors and with the changing market, Greengart noted. Android? Windows Phone?s chief rival? is already free for competitors. Apple debuted Siri more than two years ago. And it would have been good if the touch-screen version of Office had been ready to go when Microsoft introduced its second generation Surface tablets last year, he said.
But the company is still a significant player in the technology market, and it?s clear that new CEO Nadella is thinking creatively about how to rejuvenate it, Greengart said, adding that Nadella?s vision?isn?t about the desktop (PC)? the vision is about thriving in a world that (Microsoft) doesn?t control.?

Obtaining Mesa Title Loans Even With A Bankruptcy On Your Credit
Getting a Title Loan from Motor Vehicle Equity
Under the present economic climate people are struggling to stay on top of their debts, bills, financial obligations and unexpected expenses. In today’s tough economy people are finding themselves in more difficult situations financially. People who normally would not need to get an extra financial cushion are finding themselves in tight circumstances where they are struggling to make ends meet. This is applicable in almost every state in the nation including Arizona.
With many homes being foreclosed upon and many people needing to file for bankruptcy protection, people are finding credit an increasingly difficult thing to have and maintain. This can make an already difficult financial situation worse. However, there are some solutions available today for most anyone to obtain a loan.
Even while unemployment rates have surged, there are still ways to access a loan. While many people are becoming increasingly familiar with payday loans, there are other options for people who are looking for short term quick cash. One of these viable options is through title loans. Mesa title loans are available to residents of Arizona and are especially designed for people who need to use their equity in their car to establish a loan. Even people with poor credit and bankruptcy are eligible to borrow this type of money.
Title loan amounts can vary depending upon the amount needed and the equity in the vehicle used as collateral for the loan. Loan amounts usually range from $300.00 to as high as $15,000.00. Owners of the vehicle maintain the title of the car and then establish a loan repayment plan with the title loan company then being a lien holder on the vehicle. These types of loans are available for people with poor credit and even those with bankruptcy on their record.
Consumers, who are interested in this type of loan on their vehicle, should check out what options are available to them and make sure before borrowing any money that they understand all the repayment guidelines. Guidelines will give a specific monthly payment plan and a loan term as well as APR. Borrowers should read the fine print and understand their title loan repayment plan in full as well as the interest rate that is to be charged for their loan. These small details will ensure there are no surprises later for the borrower which could make for a difficult situation. If there are any concerns about the lending company, loan companies can be verified through consumer protection agencies to verify legitimacy. | [

Quick Note: Samsung Says ICS Galaxy S II Update Coming March 15
March 5, 2012 10:13 AM
comment(s) - last by
Android 4.0 finally coming March 15 to Galaxy S II users
If you are the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone and have been counting the days until the Android 4.0 update was available for your device; the wait is almost over. Rumors pegging March as being the launch date have circulated for a while, and now we have official confirmation.
Samsung Israel posted on its Facebook page that it expects the Ice Cream Sandwich update to start rolling out on handsets in Israel on March 15. The post gives no indication of when the update might be expected in other countries. The update will presumably work on all unlocked international versions of the smartphone.

No, this is the most frustrating part of US phone carriers. They are the ones that delayed the release of the phone for 6 months and added their pointless and irritating tweaks. You also can't use the official 2000mAH extended battery.
My future upgrade path:
1. Upgrade to latest iPhone.
2. Peddle on eBay for absurd amount.
3. Buy latest Android smartphone.

Power Noise (also known as rhythmic noise, noize and occasionally as distorted beat music) is a fusion genre between Post-Industrial music and IDM, drum and bass, hardcore techno or breakcore, that takes its inspiration from some of the more structured and distorted early industrial acts, such as Esplendor Geométrico. The term "Power Noise" was originally coined by Raoul Roucka of Noisex in 1997, with the track United (Power Noise Movement) and the genre was exposed to the US Industrial Scene by the electro-industrial act :wumpscut:, who signed Noisex to the label Mental Ulcer Forges. Typically, Power Noise is based upon a distorted kick drum from a drum machine such as a Roland TR-909, uses militaristic 4/4 beats, and is usually instrumental. Sometimes a melodic component is added, but this is usually secondary to the rhythm. Power Noise tracks are typically structured and danceable, but are known to be occasionally abstract. This genre is showcased at the annual Maschinenfest festival in Krefeld, Germany, as well as at Infest in Bradford, UK.
Bands such as Combichrist and Dulce Liquido partially belong to the Aggrotech genre as well, depending on albums and/or tracks..
The term "Power Noise" should not be confused with the term "power electronics", which is a subgenre of noise.. | [

Hints that Minnesota and Twin Cities housing markets may be close to hitting bottom are welcome as we near the end of 2011, but don’t expect a fast upswing for housing.
The reason: Jobs.
Keep in mind, the housing bubble burst after reaching a peak in 2006 because it was unsustainable. The collapse in home values, however, has been excessive because falling markets and tight credit scared off home buyers.
Bad public policy and corrective action after unregulated lending led to financial disaster are largely to blame for housing woes. We keep laying off middle-class workers—teachers, public servants, constructing workers. While private industry is creating jobs again, the pace isn’t nearly enough to balance the damage from public sector cuts.
For the record, the Minnesota Association of Realtors said in mid-November that statewide Minnesota median home prices dropped another 7 percent in October to $140,000. The median seven-county Twin Cities metro area price was $157,900 – a 9.8 percent drop from the same month a year ago.
The Twin Cities median price peaked at $236,850 in June 2006, then tumbled nearly $80,000 since then.
Granted, the peak price was inflated equity realized only by the people who sold homes in June five years ago. However, the bubble took more equity than it created. That’s what’s holding back some entrepreneurs. Those people looking to tap built up home equity for cash or collateral to start or expand a business lost most of it when housing prices sunk, thus stalling job creation from small business.
How can either the job market or the housing market recover? A first giant step would be for federal, state and local officials to find ways to stabilize public employment and stop putting extra downward pressure on both markets. | [

Now, after my recent posts I feel I need to persuade (some of..) you somewhat. There is a reason people make such a fuss about sharks, because they serve an important role in the ecosystem, and actually, in all of our lives. Let me at least try to explain :)
Sharks are known as ‘keystone species’ because if they are removed, this can cause an ecosystem collapse with very damaging consequences. This applies to all species. Many predatory sharks sit at the top of the food chain, effectively managing ecosystems by helping to maintain the population numbers of species they feed on, in particular secondary predators, such as tuna. This is because unlike sharks, they have the potential to repopulate quickly. In the absence of shark predation, there are more animals that need food, and prey species populations decline quickly. In effect, these secondary predators then starve, leaving the ocean relatively empty.
Filter feeding sharks such as the basking shark, feed on small organisms called plankton. These can be either animal (zooplankton) or plant (phytoplankton). Swimming with their mouths agape, they filter small organisms from the water through their gills. Detrivores such as the cookie cutter shark feed exclusively on dead matter and waste that sinks to the ocean floor, and play a vital role in recycling nutrients so nothing is wasted. For more information about their roles, please visit our ‘Roles in Ecosystems’ Shark File. Again, all animals fill a certain niche within an ecosystem, but as keystone species within the most vital ecosystem on this planet, it must be said, we NEED sharks.
|Copyright Rob Allen Photography: A whale shark, one of the filter feeding sharks, also a good choice for eco-tourism dives (keep reading!)|
Now if you think about it we might rely on the same fish that live in the sharks environment, and so we rely on them to maintain populations, that is if we haven’t already over-exploited them ourselves already. Particularly in coastal communities, if the fish disappear, fishermen lose their jobs, people begin to starve, recreational divers don’t want to pay to go see an empty ocean, tour companies then lose out etc., you get the picture..
And tourism is an important factor worth highlighting. It is believed that because of what has been dubbed ‘eco tourism’, so for example snorkeling with whale sharks or cage diving with great whites (as long as it actually aims to benefit the conservation efforts for the species in question, which sadly, it often doesn't), sharks can be worth more alive than dead! This incentive could potentially be used to turn the whole shark finning industry around, if done properly.
Back to our dependence on the ocean.. You may not realize especially if you live inland, that you rely on the ocean so much, but even if you eat farmed animals they are mainly fed on fish. Ice cream is made with a type of seaweed and probably most of the toiletries you use in everyday life have ingredients derived from the ocean. We are more dependent on it than we can probably ever imagine.. And sharks are essential to the oceans health. Sorry to have to go all hippie-fied, but we are still part of the ‘web of life’ and our actions can quite easily tear large, unnecessary holes in it.
The sad fact is we are currently a sharks worst enemy, but they NEED us too. On a brighter note it is possible for us to turn the tables and become their best friends! If we concentrate on what we could gain from having sharks around; without causing them harm, ruining the oceans and inevitably putting our own livelihoods at risk; then we could save them. For the benefit of us all! | [

LEED (BD+C)- Indoor Environmental Quality Credit: Enhanced indoor air Quality strategies
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a green building certification program that recognizes sustainable building practices. One of the key credits in the program is the Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) credit, which aims to improve indoor air quality and promote the well-being, comfort, and productivity of building occupants. The Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies credit is one of the sub-credits under IEQ and is applicable to a variety of building types, including new construction, core and shell, schools, retail, data centers, warehouses and distribution centers, hospitality, and healthcare.
|Building Type||Credit Points|
|Core and Shell||1-2|
|Warehouses and Distribution Centers||1-2|
The Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies credit is worth 1-2 points and can be achieved through two options: Option 1 requires compliance with certain requirements, and Option 2 requires compliance with additional requirements. Let’s take a closer look at what each option entails.
To achieve the Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies credit, building owners and operators must provide documentation to demonstrate that they have met the requirements of Option 1 or Option 2. The required documentation varies depending on the option chosen and includes scaled floor plans, schedules highlighting MERV or class ratings for all units that supply outdoor air, and calculations and narratives demonstrating appropriate strategies per referenced standard.
Achieving the LEED Indoor Environmental Quality credit: Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies requires a comprehensive approach to indoor air quality that includes a combination of strategies, such as entryway systems, filtration, and natural ventilation design. Building owners and operators must also provide documentation to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Option 1 or Option 2. By improving indoor air quality, buildings can promote the well-being, comfort, and productivity of occupants, making them healthier and more sustainable places to live and work. | [

Ivy Lane is well located in central Colombo. Staff were very helpful and gave lots of tips and recommendations for places to go and how to get around. The breakfast was buffet style but with fresh cooked eggs too. Room was well insulated from road noise.
Room felt a little “tired” and in need of a lick of fresh paint and tlc. Info stated hairdryer available but none seen. Towels were a bit old and musty after use.
Location, friendly stuff
Not very clean, very basic breakfast
All the facilities are available since the property is located in the heart of the CMB
Elevator needs to be cleaned properly. It's very slow & smelly.
All rooms has issues in them- WiFi not working
Incredible helpful and nice staff. Even went there twice when I had to change my travel plans. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms quite modern.

Thank you, Warren County
The United Fund has successfully completed its 93rd annual campaign. I want to thank the people of Warren County for their amazing support.
For the past five years, it has been my great honor to serve as the Director of the United Fund. In that time, the campaigns have raised over $3.3 million to support human services throughout the County.
Such success is a testament to the generosity of the people who live here and the businesses and industries which are located here. Each year, companies donate generously because they understand that the health of the community is vital to them. Similarly, thousands of people contribute by sending a check or through payroll deductions. Because not every company shares its list of people who are contributing through payroll deduction, it is impossible for me to even know the names of all who help.
Therefore, I can only say “thank you” in this very open forum. Your support affirms the basic goodness of people here, people who are willing to step forward to make sure that their families, their neighbors…even those people whom they do not know…have the services they need.
The success of the campaign is also a testament to the fine organizations associated with the United Fund. These twenty agencies provide such a wide range of services that they create a safety net throughout the County. The quality of those services move people to support the Fund.
This is my last campaign before retirement. It has been a privilege to serve the United Fund, its excellent Board and the people of Warren County.

In this study, hot-compression is applied to two multicomponent borosilicate glasses, Borofloat33 (Boro33) and N-BK7, using molecular dynamics simulations. The effects of pressure on elastic properties, surface energy, and fracture toughness ((Formula presented.) are investigated. It is found that the impact on (Formula presented.) is mainly dominated by the change of Young's modulus under pressure, which is proportional to the relative change in density. Between the two glasses under investigation, (Formula presented.) can be improved more effectively by the hot-compression process for Boro33, due to its higher concentration of 3-coordinated boron (B3), which facilitates densification via B3 to B4 conversion under compression.

Hi all. My name is Andrew from Crown Point, IN. I've been cooking for awhile but smoking since 2009. I own a slew of Weber products (2-22" WSM, a 14" WSM, a One Touch Kettle, a Smokey Joe & a Summit-S670) as well as a Greek Cypriot Rotisserie Grill & recently added a pull behind Lang 60 Original. Yes I'm a little nuts but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love to cook & I've convinced my wife I need the right tool for the job. I cook for a few events & a few private parties each year. Thanks for having me. | [

A team of UCLA researchers has received a four-year, $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation’s Quantum Sensing Challenges for Transformational Advances in Quantum Systems program. The funds will support research on new sensor technologies that can precisely measure the previously unmeasurable.
Led by physical sciences professor Prineha Narang, who holds UCLA’s Howard Reiss Career Development Chair, the investigators will use quantum sensors to measure and understand atmospheric and aerosol chemistries that standard atmospheric sensors cannot detect. The particles contribute to poor air quality and climate change, and improved monitoring could help scientists identify better ways to clean up the air.
“Our team will use distributed quantum sensing with entangled states of light and novel quantum spectroscopy techniques to go beyond the ‘standard quantum limit’ for remote sensing of atmospheric constituents such as ammonia, nitrogen oxides and organic hydroperoxides,” Narang said. “We think our quantum sensors will be able to detect single molecules in the field.”
The particles, known as aerosols, are produced in the atmosphere by complicated chemical reactions that are hard to observe in real time. The quantities are highly variable and there is a vast number of particle types. Both of those factors make studying atmospheric chemistry difficult.
Suzanne Paulson, an atmospheric chemist and the department chair of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, said research in her field is extremely limited by what scientists are able to measure.
“We concentrate samples so we can measure them but then we worry that concentration alters them,” she said. “Whenever we get a new measurement technique, we can learn more and do more. If we can have a network of highly sensitive, inexpensive sensors, we can get much better spatial resolution.”
Among the other investigators are Andrea Bertozzi, a UCLA distinguished professor of mathematics and of mechanical and aerospace engineering, colleagues at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and Sunil Bhave of Purdue University. Together, they will aim to develop a network of sensors that take advantage of the unique behaviors of subatomic matter to observe atmospheric chemistry in real time by detecting minute quantities of particles or even single molecules of atmospheric constituents such as ammonia, nitrogen oxides and organic hydroperoxides.
The “entangled” quantum network will be different from classical sensor networks in that the measurements of each sensor will be integrated holistically with the others, making the entire network act like one sensor. The approach is similar in concept to how a doctor assesses a patient’s circulatory system by taking the person’s pulse, listening to their heartbeat and measuring their blood pressure. In classical sensor networks, the measurements of each sensor remain distinct and must be integrated upon analysis.
Grant support for the UCLA project is aligned with the NSF’s broader strategy, backed by a $29 million investment nationwide, to realize the scientific and technological advances called for in the National Quantum Initiative Act of 2018 andoutlined in the 2022 National Science and Technology Councilreport “Bringing Quantum Sensors to Fruition.” | [

A Chinese spacecraft on Thursday made the first-ever landing on the far side of the moon. the lunar explorer Chang’e 4 touched down at 10:26 a.m.، China Central Television said in a brief announcement at the top of its noon news broadcast.
The far side of the moon faces away from Earth and is relatively unexplored. It is also known as the dark side of the moon.
The pioneering landing demonstrates China’s growing ambitions as a space power. In 2013، Chang-e 3 was the first spacecraft to land on the moon since the Soviet Union’s Luna 24 in 1976.
The mission of Chang’e 4، which is carrying a rover، includes carrying out low-frequency radio astronomical observations and probing the structure and mineral composition of the terrain.
The Long March 3B rocket carrying Chang-e 4 blasted off on Dec. 8 from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southern China. | [

It may seem odd to refer to colorful flowers as friends, but that is what I think of the blooms of my red bird-of paradise (Caesalpinia pulcherrima) shrubs.
They are located beneath my kitchen window and this time of year, the blooms have just begun to reach up to the window. What is even better is that the first blooms of the season are just beginning to open.
The bright yellow, orange and red flowers brighten up my day as I work in the kitchen.
Many visitors and new residents ask me about this beautiful shrub. It really is stunning in the summer landscape.
Native to tropical America, Red Bird-of-Paradise is grown throughout southern areas of the United States, the Caribbean and has been brought to India and the Philippines. It thrives in areas with heat and sun.
Depending on where you live, this is one shrub that has a multitude of common names….
Pride of Barbados
In areas with warm winters, this shrub is evergreen. However, during the winter in my zone 8b garden, my shrubs go dormant and are cut back to 1ft. from the ground. This may seem somewhat like severe pruning when it is done each year, but it ensures beautiful shrubs in late spring. Cold hardy to zone 8a, they can be killed to the ground when temperatures fall into the teens.
The foliage is also quite beautiful and grows back very quickly in the spring after pruning.
Butterflies and hummingbirds are attracted to the beautiful flowers. I have seen some shrubs absolutely covered with butterflies in September.
Plant in full sun or filtered shade. Shrubs planted in the shade will have reduced flowering and sparser foliage and so I recommend planting in full sun.
Their size varies from 3 ft. by 3 ft. all the way to 10 ft. to 10 ft., so make sure you have room for it to grow. In desert gardens, they do require regular irrigation.
I have planted many of these shrubs in both commercial and residential landscapes with great results. They are not fussy in the least. My shrubs are now 11 years old and have never been fertilized or the soil amended.
There is another variety is called ‘Phoenix Bird’, which has distinct yellow flowers (not to be confused with Caesalpinia mexicana). I used this variety when I designed the landscape for my in-laws.
Whatever you decide to call this beautiful shrub, it is just perfect for me…..it is beautiful and does not require a lot of work to make it look that way.
I am so happy that my summer friends have returned 🙂 | [

National Catholic Reporter
Michael Sean Winters | Sep. 27, 2013 Distinctly Catholic
The cardinals who comprise the special commission to advise the Pope, the G-8, begin arriving in Rome today for preparatory meetings. Next Tuesday, they begin meeting with Pope Francis for three days of discussions, followed by a visit to Assisi. There has been a great deal of analysis about what we should expect, much of it very good, much of it published here at NCR. I believe the most important reform to come from the G-8 meeting will be simple and far-reaching: They are going to re-arrange the furniture.
My colleague Fr. Tom Reese, S.J., has already noted that in addition to the relatively simple managerial reforms, there needs to be a deeper reform of how the curia works and how it relates to the universal Church. There is talk about merging several Pontifical Councils into a large dicastry, perhaps even putting a layperson at its head. That would be great. Already, the G-8 will serve as a kind of check on the curia, a sounding board for the pope to see if the work of the curia is more of a burden or a blessing for local churches.
Some people advocate a wholesale change of doctrine, and I suspect they will be disappointed. Doctrine does not change, it develops. Those who invoke human dignity to promote this or that agenda item should always be mindful of the fact that there are few indignities greater than being a child of one’s own age. Conversely, those who insist that “nothing changes” need to hit the library. The Church’s teaching developed on usury and mandatory clerical celibacy in the middle ages, it developed on papal infallibility in the nineteenth century and on Church-State relations in the twentieth. The teaching on usury is especially instructive. In a pre-modern economy, the charging of interest under any circumstances would exploit the poor. As a commercial economy developed, the need for credit emerged and the prohibition on all usury was likely to exploit the poor. The teaching on usury, then, changed in order that the fundamental, evangelical value, not exploiting the poor, could remain the same. The doctrine did not change. The ambient circumstances changed, so the doctrine needed to develop in order to stay true to its deepest meaning.

The author Jess Row can’t help seeing uncanny parallels between his first novel and the unraveling-in-progress of Rachel Dolezal, the former head of Spokane’s NAACP chapter who spent some of her life passing for black. Row first heard of Dolezal last Thursday night after reading a tweet from Daily Show alum Wyatt Cenac: “The #RachelDolezal story feels like the prequel to the @rowjess book ‘Your Face in Mine,’” a concise but pensive satire in which a white man has furtive “racial reassignment surgery” before marketing it as a cure for “Racial Identity Dysphoria Syndrome.” (Cenac linked to last August’s review of said novel in the Sunday Times Book Review — paperback out later this summer.) If anyone has the right to a hot take on Dolezal’s “outing,” it’s Row. So we asked him for one yesterday.
Is your book getting any renewed interest in light of the controversy and the Cenac tweet?
I never check the ratings on my books on Amazon, but my wife looked at them over the weekend and said there had been no movement.
“Reverse passing” narratives have been rare, in fiction and history. But since your book, there’s been one in Nell Zink’s recent novel, Mislaid, and now this. How odd does that seem to you?
I always assumed something like this would happen before my book was published. I wondered why there hadn’t been a movie or a novel or something that took on this idea of racial reassignment. When I was out on book tour, I felt like I was often closing out my Q&As by saying, “I think someone’s gonna come along and claim to be transracial.” So, to me, it’s actually surprising that something like this didn’t happen sooner. It could have happened [for Dolezal] two years ago, and I’m sure that there are other people like her.
You thought it was just a matter of time? Why?
Her story is her own, but the basic points of reference — somebody feeling that their outside appearance doesn’t match their inner racial identity — I met lots of people like that on book tour who said, “We know people like that,” over even, “I have that experience.” I tend to think of racial reassignment on a continuum, where many people practice some kind of racial reassignment, and hers is the most extreme end of the spectrum.
Did you meet people who’ve been passing as black?
I’m not gonna name any names, but yes, especially people in interracial marriages. Someone I met relatively recently says he doesn’t think of himself as white, never thought of himself as white. He speaks in black vernacular English, he lives in a black neighborhood, is married to a black woman, and has black children. I wouldn’t describe them as passing, but I would describe them as having a cross-racial identification. It’ll be very interesting to see in the months and years that follow whether people emerge who want to identify as cross-racial or transracial. It’s also very important to acknowledge that transracial has a separate meaning, which is the adoption of children of color by white families. It has a long, established meaning in the adoption community, and that’s a separate story.
Although that was part of Dolezal’s family story. There’s so much that’s unusual, and still unexplained, about her. What do you make of the choices she’s made, and the way she’s explained them?
I don’t want to speculate about her motives because I just don’t know. I hear the words that she’s saying and the narrative that she’s constructing, but personally, I don’t yet have a feeling of contact with the lived reality behind it. I don’t have any real sense of the psychological picture. Is she doing this for some exploitative reason, or because she has some kind of personality disorder? I think it’s too early to say — if any of us will ever be able to say.
Martin Wilkinson, the white-to-black man in your book, is kind of a huckster. Neither he nor Dolezal are pure victims, for sure.
It’s difficult for me to imagine a circumstance in which you’re disguising your origins in which someone doesn’t get hurt. You can look at the example of Anatole Broyard, or James McBride’s book about his mother, The Color of Water. There’s always pain and suffering and confusion that results from that. I do feel a sense of sympathy, and I have grappled with this a little bit myself. | [

We're gone from the Winter Garden area and have moved on to the Sarasota area to spend Christmas week.
Our last day at Winter Garden we spent at the Harry P Leu Gardens so of course here are a few pictures.
|Have never seen this one before|
|Looks like it was made from clay|
Our first day in Sarasota just happen to be my 62nd birthday so we bicycled over to De Soto National Park so I could get my SENIOR PASS.
|One good thing about getting old|

Come hear two crucial novelists who’re narrating the colonial and postcolonial nation. Chomp on free Burmese food from our catering partner, Burma Noodle Bar. We’re celebrating the new novel by author-actress Charmaine Craig: the semi-autobiographical epic, Miss Burma. Pulitzer Finalist Laila Lalami calls the book “a sweeping novel of Burma and its complicated history, told from the perspective of people whose voices have been systematically erased from the official record.” Charmaine will talk with Maaza Mengiste, whose novel Beneath the Lion’s Gaze tells the last days of Ethiopian ruler Haile Selassie and the 1970s Ethiopian Civil War. If you loved Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko or Chaitali Sen’s The Pathless Sky, don’t miss this thrilling discussion of late colonial violence, mass revolt, postcolonial malaise, and the personal stories that comprise history from below. This event is co-sponsored by Columbia Center for International History and NYSEAN (New York South East Asian Network)!

Charmaine Craig’s Miss Burma (Grove Atlantic 2017) tells the story of Myanmar from British colonial rule to the assassination of Aung San and the student protests of 1962. The focal point are two characters loosely based on Craig’s grandparents: Benny and Khin, a member of the persecuted Karen minority, who both go into hiding during the Japanese occupation during World War II?a journey that will have historical ramifications. The novel follows Aung San’s ascension and assassination and the country’s subsequent civil war, a brutal conflict through which the state viciously targeted the Karen minority. Miss Burma also follows Benny and Khin’s eldest child, Louisa, who becomes the country’s first beauty queen but must reckon with her family’s past, the West’s ongoing covert dealings in her country, and her own loyalty to the Karen cause. A rich, subtextually layered novel that’s stylistically reminiscent of Sara Suleri’s Meatless Days and John Berger’s G, Miss Burma is?in the words of Aminatta Forna?a book that explores “how we are all actors in our histories and the histories of our nations.” A professor at UC Riverside, Charmaine Craig wrote the novel The Good Men (Riverhead), a national bestseller translated into six languages. She previously worked as an actor in film and television.
Addis Ababa-born Maaza Mengiste’s debut novel Beneath the Lion’s Gaze (Norton 2011) narrates the Ethiopian civil war through dual characters: Emperor Haile Selassie, depicted in his last days before revolution, and Hailu, a respected doctor who must protect his family from violence and is also asked by the regime to treat a tortured political prisoner. Named one of the 10 best contemporary African books by The Guardian, the novel led the New York Times to state that “Mengiste joins a group of other young Africans writing in English [like Chris Abani and Chimamanda Adichie] whose subject is the continent’s postcolonial civil wars. They are unafraid of depicting the vicious violence Frantz Fanon’s ‘wretched of the earth’ are capable of and showing how Fanon’s colonially oppressed grew into master oppressors themselves.” A contributor to the New Yorker and Granta and named a new literary idol by New York magazine, Mengiste served as a writer for the social-activist documentary film GIRL RISING, which features the voices of actors such as Meryl Streep, Liam Neeson, and Cate Blanchett.

Oscillations of photocurrent signals upon photoionization of polarized Ar and Xe atoms in magnetic fields
Ionization of polarized states of Ar and Xe atoms by femtosecond probe pulse in a supersonic beam in the presence of magnetic field was studied theoretically and experimentally. The revealed oscillation structure in the photoionization signals occurs due to the Larmor precession of exited atomic states in a magnetic field. We derived analytical formulas for the photoelectron current and explained the detected oscillations in terms of photon and atomic polarization moments. Our results indicate the possibility of implementing Doppler-free spectroscopy involving bound-free transitions.

Young People are being failed by AA in more ways than even this article outlines. In this Washington Post article author Chelsea speaks about the drug connections and party buddies she met at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. She is right that alternatives for young people are not sufficient. Part of the problem is AA plays an integral part in blocking other programs from expanding. They convince Drug Courts that AA is the only way. You have judges and probation officers demand that court mandates have a sponsor. Well, only AA/NA has sponsors! I would suggest young people and their parents check out www.smartrecovery.com. This is a non religious science based free program that includes online meetings and lots of free online material. Also they have a section for friends and family! Check it out! Support Alternatives to AA!
How AA Fails To Support Young Addict
The Washington Post
By Chelsea Carmona, Published: July 6
I was 20 when I attended my first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
“Hi, I’m Chelsea, and I’m an addict,” I said, introducing myself to a group of mostly middle-aged men and women.
The room fell silent.
“No!” a discouraging voice bellowed from the back of the room. “This is a meeting for alcoholics!”
I didn’t understand. The staff at my inpatient treatment program had told me that newcomers were always welcome in AA. In fact, they said that if I wanted to get well, AA was the best place to go. I wouldn’t find the kind of sobriety in Narcotics Anonymous, the 12-step program for drug addicts, that I would in AA. “I’m so sorry,” I mumbled to the group. “I didn’t mean to offend anyone.”
I started again: “I’m Chelsea, and I’m an alcoholic.”
Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery, but perpetually admitting you have a problem that you don’t actually have can make recovery difficult. Accordingly to AA’s literature, approximately 10 percent of members are under age 30. Many of these younger folks are only beginning to struggle with addiction to drugs or alcohol. The recovery community requires them to fully take on the addict and alcoholic identity as a part of the acceptance process. But, from what I’ve seen, by defining these members as addicts or alcoholics, 12-step programs can unintentionally encourage their members to develop self-fulfilling prophecies.
Adolescents and young adults are deeply affected by the labels thrust upon them. Once labeled “troublemakers” or “difficult” by parents or teachers, they find it hard to overcome such a persona. In my experience, many of those who acquired the addict/alcoholic designation, even if they didn’t deserve it at first, began to behave accordingly.
When I labeled myself an alcoholic that day, I hadn’t picked up a drink in almost three years, and I’d never been a heavy drinker. My troubles began when I was introduced to Adderall during finals week my first year in college. As a high-achiever who was struggling with the freshman 15, stimulants seemed like the solution to my problems. I could sit in class all day, study all night and skip meals without the slightest hint of exhaustion. Most important, I could compete with the other students who were also abusing such drugs.
That is perhaps the most disheartening aspect of 12-step recovery and inpatient care: Because most of their AA colleagues are older, the adolescents I met in treatment found more drug connections, party buddies and rehab romances than they did mentors, counselors and long-term sober friends.
The lying played out during AA meetings on a regular basis. I’ll never forget when a friend stumbled up to the front of the room, his sponsor beaming with pride, to take his chip for being sober for 30 days. He was high as a kite, but no one said anything because we didn’t want to risk alienating him from his support system. AA’s Old-Timers, older alcoholics with long-term sobriety, and our treatment center’s counselors would have surely told his parents that their son needed some serious tough love. They would have recommended kicking him out of the house and taking his car, preventing him from attending work or school. What little he had left in his life would be gone.
For young people, there aren’t a lot of alternatives to AA. Those who choose not to follow the rigid 12-step structure are almost always viewed as in denial or on the verge of relapse. Although many addicted teenagers are in denial, those who genuinely wish to find sobriety are forced into a “with us or against us” environment in which addiction can thrive. | [

The vertical end of a tank containing water weighing 62.4lb/ft^3 has the given shape.
a)Explain how to approximate the force against the end of the tank by a Riemann Sum.
b)Find the force as an integral and evaluate it.
The shape is a semi-circle with a radius of 3ft. (a bowl pretty much) and its completely filled with water.
I don't know how to find the force of a round surface, just a flat one. Please explain to me how to do this thank you. | [

Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton say they are investigating ways to convert their mines, trucks and trains from diesel power to gas, continuing a trend that has been vigorously pursued by Fortescue Metals Group.
Fortescue believes it will save $US20 million a year following a January agreement to convert its 125-megawatt power station at Solomon to gas.
A 270-kilometre pipeline will soon connect Fortescue's Pilbara iron ore hub to a major gas arterial in Western Australia.
Rio's iron ore boss Andrew Harding said similar options were being investigated for his group's neighbouring iron ore business.
"There is a fair bit [of diesel] used and there is a lot of work being done in that area," he said this week in Darwin.
Mr Harding said tests were under way on whether Rio's haul trucks and trains used to transport iron ore to Port Hedland could be converted to gas.
"There are quite a few issues to resolve, particularly with the trucks, because you tend to replace the weight of the highly valuable ore with the less valuable gas and the infrastructure required to contain it," he said.
"The rail system seems to be a little bit more advanced and you can imagine where those sorts of opportunities present."
BHP already uses some gas from its Macedon asset for energy at its Pilbara iron ore mines.
The asset president of BHP's Queensland coking coal joint venture with Mitsubishi, Lucas Dow, said the company was looking at greater use of gas to power other mining operations.
Earlier this year BHP moved to secure liquefied natural gas to power its copper mines in Chile, where electricity has become unreliable.
Conversion to gas also allows the miners to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
But both Mr Dow and Mr Harding agreed the major hurdle to refitting diesel operations for gas was the cost of replacing infrastructure.
"There is so much invested in the old infrastructure that the new infrastructure, plus the refitting of the various engines that are different to our fuel sources, is quite a substantial task and hurdle to get over, so it is not just a technological issue, it is a financial issue," said Mr Harding.
Woodside Petroleum managing director Peter Coleman said such replacement costs could be significant, but the mining industry was likely to make the move eventually.
"It is always difficult to make major change when you have significant investment already in place," he said. "Often those who already have investments will increment on the investments. Those who don't have the investments obviously have the opportunity to make significant step changes.
"I would suggest it is quite likely the industry in the Pilbara will move to supply running on LNG in the first instance, and I think compressed natural gas also has a place in the not too distant future. There is clearly a market there."
Mr Dow said price movements for diesel and gas would eventually determine the timing of the changes.
"As we see a greater arbitrage in terms of price, the opportunity will present itself," he said. | [

Nokia and Siemens AG have agreed to combine their telephone equipment units in a deal valued at roughly 25 billion euros ($31.6 billion), a newspaper report quoted by the Associated Press said.
The Associated Press report said Nokia would control a majority of board seats of the new company, which would be based in Finland and not traded separately, according to The Wall Street Journal, which cited industry sources.
Ownership of the new company would be split evenly between Nokia and Siemens, and would be headed by a Nokia executive, Simon Beresford-Wylie, according to the report.
The deal was expected to be announced this week, the Associated Press report said.
The combination would allow both companies to reduce redundant research and development spending, with savings to reach as high as 1.25 billion euros ($1.58 billion) annually, according to the report. | [

What birth defects can high blood sugar cause?
Among the defects in children born to women with diabetes are heart problems, brain and spinal defects, oral clefts, kidney and gastrointestinal tract defects, and limb deficiencies.
Which is the most common congenital malformation in a baby of diabetic mother?
The most common defects occurred in the cardiovascular system, NTDs, cleft lip/palate and skeletal defects. Although many studies discuss diabetes associated congenital anomalies, the leading type of birth defects and the exact rate of diabetes associated birth defects are difficult to determine.
Can gestational diabetes cause problems for the baby?
If untreated, gestational diabetes can cause problems for your baby, like premature birth and stillbirth. Gestational diabetes usually goes away after you have your baby; but if you have it, you’re more likely to develop diabetes later in life.
What is Syndrome of infant of diabetic mother?
Definition. An infant that was born to a mother who persistently had high glucose blood levels during pregnancy. The infants of diabetic mothers are large for their gestational age and may develop hypoglycemic episodes soon after birth. [ from NCI]
Can a diabetic mom have a healthy baby?
“If you’ve been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, you can have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby, but the goal is to immediately start managing your blood glucose levels closely with a glucometer as soon you become aware of the issue,” explains Smith.
Can you have a healthy baby with diabetes?
If you are healthy and your diabetes is well controlled when you become pregnant, you have a good chance of having a normal pregnancy and birth. Diabetes that is not well controlled during pregnancy can affect your health long-term and can also be risky for your baby.
Will one high blood sugar hurt my baby?
High blood glucose, also called blood sugar, can harm your baby during the first weeks of pregnancy, even before you know you are pregnant. If you have diabetes and are already pregnant, see your doctor as soon as possible to make a plan to manage your diabetes.
Do diabetic mothers have larger babies?
Infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) are often larger than other babies, especially if diabetes is not well-controlled. This may make vaginal birth harder and may increase the risk for nerve injuries and other trauma during birth. Also, cesarean births are more likely.
How early do you deliver with gestational diabetes?
For people with GDM who have well-controlled blood sugar levels with medication, ACOG recommends birth between 39 weeks, 0 days to 39 weeks, 6 days.
Can a diabetic mother have a healthy baby?
When a baby is born to a mother with diabetes, the baby is at risk for problems. People with diabetes have high levels of sugar in their blood (hyperglycemia). Over time, this can lead to serious health problems. Keeping your blood sugar under control lowers your risk for complications.
What happens to baby when blood sugar is too high?
A baby’s organs, such as the brain, heart, kidneys, and lungs, start forming during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. High blood glucose levels can be harmful during this early stage and can increase the chance that your baby will have birth defects, such as heart defects or defects of the brain or spine.
Why are so many babies born with encephalocele?
Causes. Several factors appear to lead to lower survival rates for infants with encephalocele, including preterm (early) birth, low birthweight, having multiple birth defects, or being black or African American. 2,3 CDC continues to study birth defects, such as encephalocele, and how to prevent them.
Can a child with encephalocele go undetected?
Sometimes a small encephalocele in the nose and forehead region can go undetected until properly diagnosed. Encephaloceles are often accompanied by craniofacial abnormalities or other brain malformations. Symptoms of encephalocele that your child may face include: Encephalocele can be treated with surgery.
What does encephalocele stand for in medical terms?
Encephalocele (pronounced en-sef-a-lo-seal) is a rare type of birth defect of the neural tube that affects the brain. What is Encephalocele?
Can a neural tube defect cause an encephalocele?
However, an encephalocele can be a feature of various syndromes (collection of symptoms often seen together), such as Dandy Walker syndrome, Chiari malformation or many others, which may have a genetic component. We do know that if there is a family history of neural tube defects, there is an increased risk of having a child with an encephalocele. | [

Anthony Powell, Barbara Skelton, Cyril Connolly, D.J. Taylor, Edmund Wilson, Evelyn Waugh, Feliks Topolski, George Orwell, George Weidenfeld, Ian Lubbock, Janetta Woolley, Joan Leigh Fermor, Lys Connolly, Michael Shelden, Patrick Leigh Fermor, Peter Quennell, Sonia Brownell, Stephen Spender
Back in the 1980s, Michael Shelden wrote Friends of Promise, an account of Cyril Connolly and the circle around him at Horizon, the literary magazine he edited throughout the 1940s. It remains the definitive work on this key aspect of literary London during wartime. That is the book, I think, that D.J. Taylor wanted to write. He had, after all, already written a biography of George Orwell, probably the most significant writer to have been published in Horizon (and, curiously, Shelden would follow up Friends of Promise with a biography of Orwell). Taylor had also written a book on the Bright Young Things of London society during the gilded age of the 1920s, and also The Prose Factory, a survey of literary life in England since 1918. Within such a spectrum of interest, Horizon and Connolly is not just a natural fit, it almost feels like the inevitable next step.
But Shelden had already taken that step, and despite the fact that letters and diaries and other resources have emerged since Shelden’s book was published, it is unlikely that Taylor would really have been in a position to write a startlingly new and different take on the same subject. So he let his gaze wander from the centre to the periphery, in particular to the young women who circled around Connolly, as lovers (or occasionally wives), secretaries, helpmeets, confidants. There were four of them in particular: Lys, Janetta, Sonia and Barbara. Collectively, Taylor calls them the “Lost Girls”, taking the term from Peter Quennell’s autobiography, The Wanton Chase. Taylor doesn’t wholly accept Quennell’s term, but he doesn’t exactly question it either. My own sense, on the other hand, is that they were neither lost nor girls. They were beautiful, ambitious, sexually active young women who found themselves in a particular wartime bohemia, and they took advantage of their circumstances that would have been unquestioned, even unremarked, if they had been men. The women who came before them in the 1920s were the same, as were the women who came after them in the 1960s, but because this was the 1940s they were somehow regarded as courtesans. Men who behaved the same would have been hailed as adventurers. Taylor doesn’t lay out the contrast so starkly, I’m not even sure he is fully aware of it, but it is there buried in the assumptions and subtexts of the book.
It is notable, for instance, that the first view of any of these women in Lost Girls: Love, War and Literature 1939-1951 comes from the male gaze. After Quennell’s description of the lost girls in general, there are four single-sentence quotations, one for each of the women: Edmund Wilson on Barbara, Stephen Spender on Sonia, Evelyn Waugh on Lys, and George Weidenfeld on Janetta. The women are perennial adjuncts to the men, to be seen from outside. The real interest is in the men who are doing things in Horizon, these women are just there to provide a different perspective on the main action.
Lys, Janetta, Sonia and Barbara: the men in this book are Connolly, Quennell, Orwell, Waugh, Topolski, and so on, but the women are always addressed by their first names. In a long preamble, Taylor explains this as being because their surnames changed so often. Lys, for example, began life as Lys Dunlap; she married Ian Lubbock but soon thereafter left him to become Cyril Connolly’s mistress, changing her name to Connolly by deed poll when he wouldn’t marry her; after she left Connolly at the end of the decade she eventually married again and became Lys Koch. But she was Lys Lubbock or, by her own choice, Lys Connolly, for the entire period covered by this book. Sonia Brownell was known by that name throughout the 1940s until, right at the end of the decade, she became Sonia Orwell; similarly, Barbara Skelton had that name throughout the decade until, in the closing pages of the book as it were, Lys left Connolly and Barbara became, for a while, Barbara Connolly. Significantly, when she began publishing books in the 1950s she published under the name Barbara Skelton. There must, I think, have been more subtle, | [

As part of the construction of the 10MW cogeneration plant at TO West, a complete reconstruction of the hot water pump pump was carried out. The old pump house was completely dismantled and a new 132kW frequency-controlled circulation pump was built in its place. The subject of the work was electrical installations of electric motor drive and control and monitoring. In addition to the aforementioned TPV circulation pumps, the electric motor drive also comprises 10 valves with electric motor drive. About 20 pressure and temperature gauges were installed for the purpose of forming the control and monitoring system for the TPV pumping station. The new plant was integrated into the existing SCADA platform, as well as into the existing common signal system based on DeviceNet communication and the pumping station was put into operation.

The runoff election for mayor and 18 aldermen appears to be generating interest. In the first hour that Early Voting was available on Monday, there were approximately 1,000 voters at the 51 Chicago sites.
It's been since 1991 that there have been 18 aldermen in runoffs. There's never been a mayoral runoff since the city went to a consolidated election with candidates not having to declare political parties.
Even with the snowy weather that is considered a "good solid start," said Jim Allen at the Chicago Board of Elections.
As of 5:15 p.m. Monday, there were a total of 7,914 voters across the city voting early -- the highest number ever recorded for the first day of early voting for a municipal election.
Election Day falls this year during Spring Break for Chicago Public and Chicago Archdiocese schools. | [
