On Saturday May 21st the first day of the two day residency; I have to admit I felt as if the world had crash landed right in my lap. I was so frustrated and exhausted by the end of the day; I did not understand the expectations of the residency, nor did I think the Tiffin MBA was something I would enjoy. Dr.Ketter somehow turned all this around for me on Sunday when clearly I understood her expectations.
Ethical Issues in My Undergrad; was an ethics class I will not soon forget. I wrote articles that supported Lutheran principles. I felt as though I was forced to write as if I believed in these principals; however my personal beliefs are based on spiritual principals, not on any one religion. My experience this past weekend with professor Ketter restored my confidence in the teachings of ethics. I was terrified when Dr.
Ketter started the presentation on ethics; however, I left Tiffin with a restored sense of values based on Dr. Ketter's sincerity.
Ethical values may govern one's search for significance, but ones ethics can be whatever a person makes of it. Truly ethical people are usually devout, serious, honest and trustworthy. If professors are of a particular ethical belief, carry these attributes into their teaching of ethics, then surely their student's understanding of ethics will be all the more worthwhile and respected. I think Dr. Ketter accomplished this in her teaching both of Information Technology and of the ethics portion of the residency.
Today is Tuesday May 24th as I start the assignments for class my self confidence has improves with each keystroke.

Intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC) are an attractive energy source that can be integrated into the current power generation infrastructure. IT-SOFC are capable of converting a wide range of carbonaceous fuels into energy. Doped CeO2 (ceria) has demonstrated potential as an electrolyte for these systems. However, resistive grain boundaries (GB) in these polycrystalline materials lead to a decrease in the total ionic conductivity. Doping is one avenue to tailor material properties and increase GB ionic conductivity. Experimental evidence has shown that doping at different nominal concentrations could result in increased GB ionic conductivity relative to the undoped samples [1]. This effect has been attributed to increases in local dopant/solute concentrations at the GB. Probing local structural motifs associated with low migration energies for oxygen ion transport across grain boundaries is a very challenging problem. Low migration energy is often associated with more open regions at the grain boundary core. Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) performed with a focused electron probe in a scanning transmission electron microscopy is sensitive to local changes in bonding and coordination. Such an approach may offer the potential to detect sites in grain boundaries with more open structures leading to higher oxygen transport.
To investigate this question, computational modeling is employed using molecular dynamics to identify high and low migration energies sites. The energy-loss spectrum associated with the sites are then calculated to look for changes in the near-edge fine structure of the oxygen K-edge. First, preliminary electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) simulations will be performed to study the effects of tensile and compressive strain on the O K-edge from pure CeO2. Substitutional Ca atoms will also be simulated to gauge how dopant atoms effect the near-edge fine structure. The changes in spectra at low and high migration energy sites at grain boundaries will be explored to determine if there is an experimentally detectable difference. Select spectral simulation will be compared with experimental data from Ca doped grain boundaries [1]. These studies may provide insights into the utility of EELS to locate oxygen migration pathways at grain boundary cores.

On April 26th from 9am to 3pm, foreign language students visited Oak Brook Mall where they went to Mon Ami Gabi to experience some of the best dishes in the world. Additionally, students were able to walk around and shop in the afternoon after their meals.
On the menu was an appetizer of baked goat cheese and wild escargot de Bourgogne, with most if not all of the students trying the snail delicacy for the very first time. Salad Maison was then served, and entrees included seasonal vegetable quiche, steak classique with herbed butter, lemon chicken Paillard with lemon butter, and a rich dessert of chocolate mousse and profiterole.
Dining at a French restaurant helped these foreign language students to not only learn Francais, but also to embrace their culture.

A feature that many users will take for granted, and one that we expect is completely overlooked by some, the Nintendo Switch News section is a handy little tool for gamers who like to keep up to date with their favourite games. Not unlike Nintendo Life (a pretty stellar news provider, or so we've heard), this icon on the Switch's homepage takes you to a selection of stories and updates about your favourite games, and even provides the occasional in-game bonus.
We often talk about the development of games themselves, but the relatively low-key features built in to a console at launch can often go under the radar. Changing this, the official Japanese Nintendo website has uploaded a post sharing some details on how the news service was created.
Interestingly, the author of the article Yuusuke Inoue (who works in Science and Engineering at Nintendo), states that the development process took almost a whole year to complete, with a team of 4-5 staff members on board. The process faced many challenges along the way including the differences in feedback from Japanese and Western audiences; the development team would keep suggesting new ideas until they found something that could satisfy everyone.
Do you use the news channel functionality on your Switch? Are you happy that it was included as a feature on the console? We'd love to read your thoughts in the comments below.

EDITORS NOTE: Every week, Texas HS Football will present their official game ball honors to those that were the most impactful under the Friday Night Lights. Our experts watched numerous games and decided on the very best that Week Six had to offer.
Please post your own game ball honorees below and tag @texashsfootball and use the hashtag #GameBallHonors through our various social media channels. We'll be sure to keep an eye on all suggestions.
Keilon Elder (RB, Duncanville) and the Panther defense
With Duncanville's throttling of Cedar Hill last week in the manner they did, it would be hard to not award the game ball honors to the defense. It was a unit that scored three touchdowns and forced three turnovers as a unit and was also a few seconds away from a shutting out the Cedar Hill Longhorns that only finished with 132 total yards.
It was a unit that scored three touchdowns and forced three turnovers as a unit and was also a few seconds away from a shutting out the Cedar Hill Longhorns that only finished with 132 total yards. Duncanville definitely made a statement last week and if you haven't bought into this team yet, you better go on ahead and do so.
Let's also give Keilon Elder some recognition as his second-half surge further assisted Duncanville in their 41-6 victory. Elder finished with 138 yards and two rushing touchdowns. — Jonathan Rodriguez
Brooks Klutts (QB, Boerne), Connor Fisher (WR, Boerne)
Boerne senior quarterback Brooks Klutz stood out in the Greyhounds' 41-28 win against Wimberley on Friday. Klutz accounted for five touchdowns (four passing, one rushing) and 261 yards (226 passing, 35 rushing). His ability to get away from pressure and buy time to throw or pick up yards with his feet was mighty impressive.
We can't talk about Klutz, however, without also mentioning senior wide receiver Connor Fisher. Fisher caught eight of Klutz's 12 completions for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Klutz said Fisher has been his go-to guy for a long time and all he has to do is throw it in his general vicinity of him to catch it. — Steven Ryan
Brant Kuithe (RB, Cinco Ranch)
Last week, the Cinco Ranch Cougars whooped up on a very good Richmond Foster Falcons team. The disparity between the level of 6A and 5A football certainly showed its true colors in the 36-6 win for the Cougars. However, all but two of the 36 points scored by Cinco Ranch in last week's contest came from stud running back Brant Kuithe.
Kuithe, who is committed to Rice University, rushed for 129 yards on 21 carries and averaged about 6 yards per carry against the Falcons. Whether it was 1st and 10 or 3rd and long, the ball was most entrusted in the hands of Kuithe, in which touchdowns came in the red-zone as well. I've yet to see such a dominating performance in any game by a running back that rushed less than 30 times.
Brant Kuithe may stir trouble for teams in the post-season. You've all been warned. — Quentin Edmiston
Isaiah Spiller (RB, Klein Collins)
Though Spiller didn't do anything out of the ordinary on paper — finishing with 100 yards and one touchdown — on the field, however, he helped earn a tough win against a stout Klein Oak defense.
He took carry after carry up the middle and wore down the Panthers' defense late in the game. The lone blemish on a great night was a fumble at the one-yard line that was miraculously recovered by a teammate for Collins' first score of the night. Spiller, a junior that's the 2019 class No. 2 running back in the state and the son of former Texas A&M tight end Fred Spiller, is expected to sign with the Aggies. — Tim Verghese
Reinard Britz (QB, Oak Ridge)
Britz opened the game with a 92-yard touchdown pass and finished with more than 200 yards passing and two touchdowns as Oak Ridge's War Eagles won their homecoming game against the Montgomery High School and remained undefeated.
Britz is a pro-style quarterback, but showed he wasn't afraid to run — specifically during a 30-yard run in the third quarter set up the War Eagles' third touchdown of the night. Oak Ridge plays out of a spread system giving Britz the freedom to air it out all over the field, his pocket presence and arm strength stood out in the closest game the home team has played all season. — Tim Verghese
Dominique Smith (QB, El Paso Andress)
The junior left-handed signal-caller didn't throw the ball a ton last Thursday night, but he certainly made his opportunities count against El Paso Bowie. Smith finished 10-of-18 for 233 yards and three touchdowns as the Eagles moved to 2-0 in District 1-5A and got revenge from last year's loss with a 38-21 victory over the Bears. — Tony Venegas
Seth Dominguez (RB, El Paso Franklin)
Senior running back Seth Dominguez had a career game last Friday night against El Paso Eastwood, rushing 26 times for 320 yards and two touchdowns. The Cougars needed every one of those yards as they held off the Troopers 49-41 in a wild shootout on Friday night. Following the game, head coach Daren Walker stressed the need to get him the football and he'll need to be a playmaker this week as the Cougars travel to take on unbeaten El Paso Montwood. — Tony Venegas
Chaka Watson (QB, West Orange-Stark)
While the senior gunslinger is currently untied to any NCAA Division I, II, or III and had no offers before arguably the best game of his career, Watson's near 170-total yard and three-touchdown performance may have opened more than a few eyes.
Especially given he entered halftime 3-for-10 with little more than 20 yards passing and 41 yards rushing. He was also sacked three times by the same Kennedale defense —sans Ohio State linebacker Baron Browning — that found a way to bottle 4A passing leader Landon Ledbetter and Midlothian Heritage High School in the 2016 UIL 4A regional semifinal.
Watson nearly tripled his rushing totals in the final two quarters leading all runners with 142 yards and four scores (including one two-point conversion that deadlocked the score and sent the game into extra time) on 16 rush carries. The fourth, a 23-yard overtime scramble through the teeth of the Wildcat defense, sealed West Orange-Stark's 31st consecutive victory — the longest streak in the state. — Marcus Matthews-Marion

A report released by the Labor Department on Wednesday showed a modest increase in U.S. producer prices in the month of December.
The Labor Department said its producer price index for final demand inched up by 0.1 percent in December after coming in unchanged in November. Economists had expected prices to rise by 0.2 percent.
The uptick in producer prices was partly due to a jump in energy prices, which surged up by 1.5 percent in December after climbing by 0.6 percent in November.
Meanwhile, the report said food prices edged down by 0.2 percent in December after spiking by 1.1 percent in November and by 1.3 percent in October.
Excluding food and energy prices, core producer prices still crept up by 0.1 percent in December after dipping by 0.2 percent in November. Core prices were also expected to increase by 0.2 percent.
The index for final demand services was unchanged, as a 2.7 percent jump in prices for transportation and warehousing services offset a 0.3 percent drop in prices for trade services and a 0.1 percent dip in prices for other services.
Producer prices in December were up by 1.3 percent compared to the same month a year ago, reflecting an acceleration from the 1.1 percent year-over-year growth in November.
Meanwhile, the annual rate of growth in core consumer prices slowed to 1.1 percent in December from 1.3 percent in November.
"Overall, there is still little sign of any significant rise in price pressures at the start of the inflation pipeline, underlining our view that the Fed will keep interest rates on hold for the foreseeable future," said Andrew Hunter, Senior U.S. Economist at Capital Economics.
A separate report released by the Labor Department on Tuesday showed consumer prices in the U.S. also increased by slightly less than anticipated in the month of December.
The Labor Department said its consumer price index rose by 0.2 percent in December after climbing by 0.3 percent in November. Economists had been expecting another 0.3 percent increase.
Excluding food and energy prices, core consumer prices inched up by 0.1 percent in December after rising by 0.2 percent in November. Core prices had been expected to rise by another 0.2 percent.
The report also said the annual rate of consumer price growth accelerated to 2.3 percent in December from 2.1 percent in November, reaching the fastest rate of growth since October of 2018.
The annual rate of growth in core consumer prices was 2.3 percent in December, unchanged from the two previous months.

Northern Suburbs Property Management is a Boutique Agency specialising in Residential and Corporate leasing throughout the Sydney basin. With over 15 years experience, [NSPM] offers a personalised property management experience, with the dedication of its Director Vanessa Tsokos.
Source: http://EzineArticles.com/6169814 Images: http://northernspm.com.au/ For anyone considering investing in rental real estate, the selection of a reputable property maintenance service is essential to the success of your investment. This video explains four of the most important factors to look for when you are selecting a rental property manager.
A property manager can be the buffer between the property owner and the renter. The investor who wants to rent out their property, yet does not want to spend the time finding or screening renters, collecting rents or listening to renter complaints, can hire a property manager to do those tasks.
All property management companies claim to do a superior job of collecting rent, screening tenants and keeping your property maintained and attractive. Choosing the right property manager will make a huge difference in the value of your...
A residential property manager oversees the day-to-day operation of income-producing dwellings. These can range from single-family homes to large apartment complexes. Unlike a property manager who works with commercial properties, a residential property manager works exclusively with residential property. In large apartment complexes, many residential property managers are on-site managers who live on the property they manage.
If you are planning to switch over to a career in property management, it's essential that you have a clear idea of what does a property manager do and what is his job profile. In this article, you will find a description of the prime duties and responsibilities that entail this managerial job.
In real estate property management, the property manager or management company has four major areas of responsibility: Marketing and Financial Tenant and Occupancy Facility Administration & Risk Management The property manager is the owner's partner in maximizing the return on investment of the property through efficient performance of these four functional areas of responsibility.
You can seek certification to manage residential properties from organizations such as the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM). As of 2010, you can pursue two different types of IREM residential property management certifications. The Institute of Real Estate Management certifications as of 2010 are ARM (accredited residential manager) and CPM (certified property manager).

A very large house with a small garden area, embedded on a densely housed hill in CBD.
The first job was to see what was involved in refreshing the garden area. We took photos of the various areas, cleared the weeds, pruned the very old rose right back and created a large compost pile.
Hover over the photos for explanations.
Here's how I whip up some compost - it's the simplest recipe.
Find a spot in the garden to build your compost pile. It needs to get some rain and some sun.
Lay some cardboard on the area. It doesn't need to cover the whole area. Earthworms like cardboard, and we want earthworms.
Then, add any of these things over the next few months:
Every month or so, visit the beach (not a marine reserve) and fill a wool bag or two with any types of seaweed. Chuck it on the heap.
Continue building the pile.
After a few months, or when it gets high (as in tall - not stinky), turn it over. I move the pile to a space next to it (remember it's lazy compost), using the biggest garden fork.
As you do this, you will see all the critters hard at work turning your waste into beautiful soil: black beetles, centipedes, hoppers, slaters, many red worms, and more.
Where the heap was, you now have a weed-free patch ready to plant. And, you can use the healthy soil from the bottom of the compost pile. Win-win!
That's lazy compost. Easy peasy! When you've used it you can plant where it was.

It is definitely a sight to withhold when the summers witness the best of cricketing action. Every cricket fan in the world is either in the IPL stadiums in India or watching the live telecasts on their television sets. It is such a game that gives people a chance to support their own teams, make bonds with strangers and have great evenings after work. There are very few who dislike the sport of cricket and IPL has converted them into fans too. The beauty of the game lies in the T20 format of the game and that it gets over within a relatively short duration of 4 hours. The game has now been played already for more than two weeks and some of the teams are doing exceptionally well.
The next week in this tournament is going to be crucial as teams like Gujarat Lions and Rising Pune Supergiant are at the bottom of the table. It will take a lot of efforts by these teams, along with some boosted morale and great performances by the players to come anywhere near the top place. The good part about this season is that Indian players like Manan Vohra, Nitish Rana and Krunal Pandya have been performing exceptional and are leading even amongst other international players in the league. It will be a treat to see other players climbing up the ladder and taking charge. In the upcoming matches, Gujarat is going to take on KKR and KXIP this week. Pune is going to face SRH and MI. So it is going to be a task if these teams will come back and prove their mettle in this IPL 2017.
If you aren't following the IPL matches, then this place is the best place to be for you right now. So far, Mumbai Indians are topping the table with 10 points after winning 5 matches out of 6. The second position is taken by Kolkata Knight Riders who are at 8 points after winning 4 out of 5 matches. Indian star bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar from Sunrisers Hyderabad has got the purple cap after getting 15 wickets in 6 matches and budding batsman Nitish Rana from Mumbai Indians is holding the orange cap after scoring 255 runs in 6 matches.
Well, to be honest, watching these amazing games in stadiums should be there on your bucket lists. So why not get these IPL cricket match tickets and watch these cricketers in their full glory, live. IPL is undoubtedly the best cricketing league in India and you are so going to love the upcoming matches at the time that follows. Book your passes now and get your friends and family along to enjoy the best thing happening in India this summer!

Some weeks ago, I had a few minutes before running an errand. I stopped in at CP83 near the old Palmer Union Station.
My timing was nearly perfect. Not long after I arrived, I heard a familiar roar to the west.
The air was clear, and the sounds of EMD 645 diesels were resonating as they worked eastbound.
I thought, 'must be the B740' (the CSX local freight that typically arrives in Palmer about mid-morning to work the interchange.)
I walked up to the South Main Street bridge. As the train approached Palmer, it enters a short down grade, so the roar quieted. This change in pitch might confuse a novice visitor, who might become discouraged at the very moment a train is about to pass.
Sure enough, after a couple of minutes, CSX B740 rolled into view and took the switch at CP83 onto the controlled siding.
Perfect low and clear December sun over my left shoulder made for a calendar scene.
I exposed these views using my FujiFilm XT1.

Hand patinated resin reproduction on a marble base. Mold made from a print of the original work.
A large number of vases in the form of animals, arms and figures in bronze, as well as items of silverware, which were said to have come from the Iranian site of Amlash, appeared in antique shops around 1960. It was soon discovered that Amlash was only the village where clandestine diggers sold antiquities they found in a region of green hills overlooking the south-west of the Caspian Sea, the major site of which is Marlik.
Archaeological digs were started by Professor Negahban who had discovered a royal necropolis with a culture that can be attributed to Iranian invaders from the Gorgan plain, to the south-west of the Caspian sea. These invaders had mixed with the native people who transmitted to them the traditions of the leading civilizations of western Asia, from the 13th century B.C. onwards. The two populations merged and created a highly original art.

China, for the most part, has been quite skeptical about the cryptocurrency phenomenon, and although crypto is not banned in the country, it is heavily regulated. The country's stance on the new age tech comes from the general distrust around it. China's popular messaging app and payment service boasting 1.098 billion users (up till December 2018), WeChat, has recently revised its payment policy wherein they have imposed a ban on crypto transactions. The news of the change surfaced on Twitter on 7 May via crypto investment firm Primitive's Dovey Wan.
What does the Change Mean for Cryptocurrencies?
The post from Wan included a picture of the revised rules which warned users against crypto trading unless they wish to get their WeChat accounts deleted. Given the platform's popularity in the country, having recorded daily transaction volumes of more than a billion, Wan fears the change would affect crypto liquidity.
Currently, WeChat serves as a hassle-free payment alternative that can be easily used to pay for everyday items at nearby stores and the exclusion of crypto from its payment service would indeed affect its adoption. The new rules will come into effect from 31 May.
However, on the other hand, the move is being seen by many crypto experts, including Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, as a restriction that would eventually incite people's curiosity in cryptocurrencies. Explaining this further Zhao stated:
"It is inconvenient for people short term, and they take a hit. But long term, it is precisely this type of restriction of freedom that will push people to use crypto. Not a bad thing."
In other words, experts see a silver lining behind this restrictive cloud and believe that it is "a classic example of short term pain, long term gain." Also, Zhao believes WeChat, which is used in China by people of all ages and is a preferred mode of payment, could have been an unrivaled app if it did not have such constricting regulations.

Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
I had a chance to try out an earlier version of Dusk and the first thing I thought was Chat Roulette 🙈 but it's actually closer to Secret with a few twists. Firstly, Dusk focuses on video and hides your identity by pixelating the video and masking your voice. And secondly, the content from what I've seen isn't toxic. People are using it to speak about serious and sometimes personal issues. Congrats @koridhandy @_mitchellporter on getting this out! How long did it take you guys to build Dusk and how do you plan on ensuring it's a safe environment to express yourself?
Thanks for hunting us Robleh! Dusk was a bit of a passion project, the world needs this now more than ever. People need a place to express their true voice and be themselves without prejudice. This was an awesome app to build we had a ton of fun but it was really freaking hard at the same time, I have an amazing team (Mitchell Porter and Allen Hurst). We. built in all the right security features (blocking, muting, reporting and keyword recognition to block certain words) We also curate the feed until the community grows and can take over by self policing. We need this to be a safe place where people feel like they can share anything, happy to answer any questions, and we hope you enjoy Dusk (iPhone,iPad and tvOS)
Reminds me of @alexroche's RealTalk. Curious how you've seen people use this so far, @koridhandy and @_mitchellporter.
@rrhoover @alexroche @_mitchellporter it's been really interesting to see people use it, we get lots of people just testing it out and just having fun with the pixelation. We get a bunch of really great people sharing experiences, and its fun to jump in a chat knowing it's completely anonymous. I think this app has the potential to build a really interesting community that will self police and create good content. I would love to see more controversy (news, gossip, relationships..etc) We have some big names using the app, can't say who, and I also don't know their usernames in the app, we can't track anyone, its actually 100% anonymous and we welcome any hackers to try and crack it.
Thanks again to Robleh for hunting us. Kori originally had an idea for this about a year ago and when he first told me about it I thought it was one of the most unique and cool ideas I had ever heard. We knew we would build it one day, but a few months ago the timing had never felt better with the way everything is going on in the world right now. We thought now was the perfect time to have an open platform where you can speak your mind without the fear of people harassing you. By pixellating your face and modifying your voice, we hope we've given people a tool to express themselves and how they feel like never before. I'm really looking forward to seeing some very interesting discussions happening on this app that we never would have seen before if the person was too scared to have their thoughts attached to their real identity. Super excited to see how you all use Dusk and if you have any questions, comments, or feedback we are always active both on here and on Twitter. Cheers and thanks. PS. This isn't just an iPhone app. It has a unique design for iPad which is awesome, and we even have a tvOS version that you can download for your Apple TV as well.
No doubt an important tool for democracy in the next few years.
@glvninpdx we hope so, people need a place to talk openly about burning topics that are not socially acceptable on social media.
@glvninpdx Thanks joe, like Kori said... we're hoping this empowers people and allows them to share thoughts that never would have been shared before.

Audio From OliverPurnell And Kevin Nickelberry
Kevin Nickelberry, most recently an assistant coach at UNC Charlotte for the last two seasons, has been named assistant men's basketball coach at Clemson. Clemson Head Coach Oliver Purnell made the announcement on Tuesday. Nickelberry replaces Josh Postorino, who resigned to join Ron Jirsa's staff at Marshall University. Jirsa and Postorino had been assistant coaches under Purnell at Dayton and Clemson.
"I am pleased to announce that Kevin Nickelberry has joined our staff," said Purnell. " Kevin has overachieved, especially in recruiting at all of his stops. He has experience as the top recruiter at Holy Cross and UNC Charlotte and has had great success. I have known him since he was a student in college and have followed his career ever since. He has made great advancements in the profession. I am pleased we were able to attract him to Clemson."
Nickelberry has been listed among the top 20 assistant coaches in the nation by various media services within the last two years. He has been a big reason for the success of former Clemson assistant coach Bobby Lutz's UNC Charlotte program in recent years. The team advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2002.
Nickelberry helped the 49ers land consecutive top 20 recruiting classes in both 2002 and 2003. He signed three top 100 high school players, including the top ranked center in the nation in 2003. Both Basketball Times and The Hoop Scoop ranked Nickelberry as one of the top 20 assistant coaches in the country in 2003.
"Kevin Nickelberry quietly has built himself into one of college basketball's premier recruiters," said Mike DeCourcy, college basketball writer for the Sporting News.
Prior to joining the 49ers Nickelberry worked two seasons as an assistant and associate head coach at Holy Cross College in Worcester, MA. While at Holy Cross, he helped the Crusaders to a 22-7, which included the best turnaround in school history, a NCAA Tournament appearance, the Patriot League regular season and tournament championship. Nickelberry also helped recruit and develop two conference Rookie of the Year players, two conference Player of the Year selections, three All-Rookie Team performers, four first-team All-conference recipients and two second-team all-conference players.
In one season at Monmouth University in New Jersey, Nickelberry helped recruit the Northeastern Conference Newcomer of the Year and its Player of the Year. He spent the previous three years as an assistant coach at Howard University, where he helped assemble teams that featured two MEAC Newcomer of the Year players and five players who earned all-rookie and/or all-league honors in their careers.
Nickelberry began his coaching career at NAIA Columbia Union College in Maryland where he served as both assistant men's basketball coach and head women's basketball coach. In his only season with the men's program Columbia Union made its first ever appearance in the NAIA Tournament. In his three seasons as head coach of the women's team, Nickelberry became the school's winningest coach, posted the school's highest single season win total.
Prior to beginning his coaching career, Nickelberry was involved in many successful entrepreneur ventures. He was the president of two public relation firms and founded an at risk youth non-profit organization in the Washington, DC area.
"The prime reason I am coming to Clemson is because of Oliver Purnell," said Nickelberry. "I have known him for quite some time dating to when I was a student at Virginia Wesleyan and he was coaching at Old Dominion. He has been a person I have talked with about the coaching profession for a long time. I have a great deal of respect for him."
Nickelberry is a graduate of Virginia Wesleyan College in Norforlk, VA. He earned a BS degree in communications in 1986.
Kevin Nickelberry Summary
Education: Bachelor of Science in Communications from Virginia Wesleyan College in Norfolk, VA in 1986Coaching Experience: Assistant Men's Basketball Coach at Columbia Union College in Takoma Park, MD 1991-92.

It will load, but you must give it plenty of memory. I have allocated about 980 MB and it works ok. The VPC tools install ok but there is no sound.
Norm the 32 Bit version of 7
Doesn't need the same system resources as Vista does and it runs much better than Vista on the same hardware. It doesn't appear to be as much of a Resource Hog as Vista so if the unit you found is marginal as far as Vista is concerned you should be OK with 7.
If however you are attempting to load the 64 Bit Version you need more resources than the same version of Vista and you may find some hardware no longer working. I am Dual Booting the 32 & 64 Bit versions of Vista on one system and with the 32 Bit running everything works. With the 64 Bit running the Video Capture card doesn't as you are unable to successfully install the driver. There are a few other screwy things that you can not load either things like Acrobat Reader 9. Come to mind but otherwise everything seems to work. :)
Sounds Good
I will most likely stay with the 32bit version for now. I do have a Duo Core laptop that I currently use with XP x64. Appreciate the information.
Works good...
..in fact, writing this response through Windows 7 in Virtual PC 2007. Had to update Virtual PC to service pack 1 first, but otherwise it was a clean install outside of a small issue I'm having with the sound card.
Happy beta testing all!

The Indivisible Guide (to continuing to help Trump)
COVID-19 Response
Like everyone else, we urge you to wash your hands and engage in social distancing.
Unlike everyone else, we urge you to also help with this smart plan to get more tests, ventilators, and PPE. Everyone can do that plan right now, at home, in just 15 minutes.
If enough people help with the plan we can save lives. Take time out now and help get more desperately-needed supplies.
A group of former Congressional staffers [1] have penned the "Indivisible Guide" [2], a document purporting to describe how to oppose Donald Trump. The New York Times even gave them their very own OpEd [3], despite the fact that - like all Trump's other loud opponents - they aren't going to do anything but help him.
As happened before the election, people like them will continue to in effect help Trump just as they have for over a year. Even as the loudest opposition to Trump hasn't actually achieved anything - and obviously failed at its main goal - the entirety of that opposition has shown that they're incapable of learning from their mistakes and doing things in different ways.
Some notes on the Guide:
1. They repeatedly call Trump names, such as this near the start:"In spite of the fact that he has no mandate, [Trump] will attempt to use his congressional majority to reshape America in his own racist, authoritarian, and corrupt image." Trump is certainly an authoritarian, and that's a worthwhile area to explore as is the (strong) possibility that he'll use the presidency to profit. However, calling him a "racist" isn't accurate. The Guide fails Opposition 101: understand your adversary.
The unhealthy far-left tic of calling everyone who opposes them "racist" is one of the reasons why Trump won: he presented himself as an opposition to the PC that most Americans oppose. The broad outlines of Trump policies like reducing illegal immigration and keeping jobs in the U.S. are perfectly valid and calling Trump names over that won't sit well with most Americans.
2. One of the main themes of the Guide is that the opposition to Trump should be like the Tea Parties movement in being an opposition force without specific policy proposals and concentrating on local pressure of Congress. How'd that work out for the Tea Parties? The Guide paints a rosy picture of Tea Partiers shutting down Obama's agenda, but at the end of the day they didn't really achieve much besides making themselves one of the least popular groups in the U.S. When Trump does something that might lead to jobs staying in the U.S. and his opponents try to shut him down, it's not just Trump voters who are going to develop a negative opinion of Trump's loudest opponents.
3. The Guide has trouble with facts. They say "Donald Trump is the biggest popular vote loser in history to ever call himself President-Elect." That statistic is questionable [4]. They also say "The Tea Party started as an organic movement built on small local groups of dedicated conservatives. Yes, they received some support/coordination from above, but fundamentally all the hubbub was caused by a relatively small number of conservatives working together." While millions were taken in by the Tea Parties, as discussed at the last link they were hardly an organic group: they were started by the Koch family in 2002 and then resuscitated by them in 2009.
4. They suggest acting like Code Pink and other groups that are national jokes: "wear relatively similar clothing / message shirts"; they want people to "chant" a common message; and boo speakers. They also suggest sit-ins of Congressional offices.
5. Like the far-left in general, they just hate it when dissenting voices are heard and want to shut down debate:
Hold organizational hosts accountable. Often events such as these will be hosted by local businesses or non-partisan organizations - groups that don't want controversy or to alienate the community. Reach out to them directly to express your concern that they are giving a platform to pro-Trump authoritarianism, racism, and corruption. If they persist, use social media to express your disappointment. This will reduce the likelihood that these organizations will host the Trump-friendly MoC in the future. MoCs depend on invitations like these to build ties and raise their visibility - so this matters to them.
6. They continue to show a disregard for the truth with this proposed call script to Congress:
I'm calling to ask what the Congresswoman is doing about the appointment of Steve Bannon to serve in the White House. Bannon is reported as saying he didn't want his children to go to a school with Jews. And he ran a website that promoted white nationalist views. I'm honestly scared that a known racist and anti-Semite will be working feet from the Oval Office. Can you tell me what Congresswoman Sara is going to do about it? ...It is everyone's business if a man who promoted white supremacy is serving as an advisor to the President. The Congresswoman is my elected representative, and I expect her to speak out on this.
The first smear was from a divorce case so one would be a fool to take it as fact. Like Trump, Breitbart News isn't even pro-white. The Guide continues to fail to understand their opponents but has to make things up.
7. Whites to the back of the bus! They repeatedly suggest joining with "local groups already organizing around the rights of those most threatened by the Trump agenda, we urge you to reach out to partner with them, amplify their voices, and defer to their leadership." If their non-white leadership is worse than your group's white leadership, defer to those who are worse simply due to your race. Now that's racist. Along the same lines, there's this: "Members of your group who enjoy more privilege should think carefully about how they can ensure that they are using their privilege to support other members of the group." All of that is something Trump supporters and most Americans oppose; the Guide wants to marginalize the opposition to Trump rather than including as many as possible.
8. They want people to go to townhalls and ask "good questions", then present this horrible example:
I and many district families in Springfield rely on Medicare. I don't think we should be rationing health care for seniors, and the plan to privatize Medicare will create serious financial hardship for seniors who can't afford it. You haven't gone on the record opposing this. Will you commit here and now to vote no on Bill X to cut Medicare?
Any politician will simply reply "I have yet to review the different proposals" and then pivot into a stock response. The authors of the Guide - former Congressional staffers - are so out of it that they don't realize how their former employers did things. Those who want to do things in smart ways should see Question Authority and [site coming soon] for examples of actual tough questions.
Also be sure to visit Donald Trump for how to oppose him in smart ways, not the dumb, repeatedly failed ways the Guide recommends.

text: (Wayne County, IN)--The Wayne County Highway Department is getting set for the looming winter weather. "On Friday morning, we will probably just treat down the middle of the roadways and get them prepared for the ice," said Mike Sharp with the Highway Department. He said covering 720 miles of Wayne County roadways can be a challenge. "We don't have a lot of extra personnel. I'll have two people that will be on night crew (Friday night) just for running emergencies," Sharp added. A full crew will return to work Saturday morning.

This paper deals with influence on segregation of iron based phases on the secondary alloy AlSi7Mg0.3 microstructure by chrome. Iron is
the most common and harmful impurity in aluminum casting alloys and has long been associated with an increase of casting defects. In
generally, iron is associated with the formation of Fe-rich phases. It is impossible to remove iron from melt by standard operations, but it is
possible to eliminate its negative influence by addition some other elements that affect the segregation of intermetallics in less harmful
type. Realization of experiments and results of analysis show new view on solubility of iron based phases during melt preparation with
higher iron content and influence of chrome as iron corrector of iron based phases. By experimental work were used three different
amounts of AlCr20 master alloy a three different temperature of chill mold. Our experimental work confirmed that chrome can be used as
an iron corrector in Al-Si alloy, due to the change of intermetallic phases and shortening their length.JO - Archives of Foundry Engineering L1 - http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/88370/PDF/02_paper.pdf L2 - http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/88370 PY - 2015 IS - No 1 KW - Secondary AlSi7Mg0.3 alloys KW - Iron phases KW - Iron correctors KW - AlCr20 A1 - Bolibruchová, D.

Consultants and other mentoring types can fill you up with oh-so complicated advice for getting your business off the ground, but here are five basics that most folks never get around to talking about. And any one of these can cause serious problems that can sink you before you really get into the swim of things.
- Cutting corners on safety, insurance, and legalities. Having missing fire extinguishers or blocked fire exits; over-serving your bar patrons; failing at the basics of food safety: this stuff can mess you up for years if you get unlucky. Ditto on being underinsured or spottily insured, using unlicensed contractors, paying people under the table, etc.
- Confusing cash on hand with revenue. You'd think entrepreneurs would be smarter than this, but, just like regular folks, entrepreneurs can fall victim to the "I've got money in the bank, so it's o.k. to spend it, right?" syndrome. That cash on hand that's making you feel flush is likely very temporary in nature: It's from customer deposits, it's from a seasonal upswing (that will reverse when the seasons change), it's a bridge loan, etc. Spend it now and you'll be crying tomorrow.
- Being a sore loser. One of the very best ways to ultimately win in business is to come in second a lot of times--and to do so graciously. Some time in the not-so-distant future, the company(-ies) you're losing to now will turn out to be unavailable, will start to wear on their current customer, etc., and you want to be a viable next choice when this happens.
- Being a sore winner. Eventually you'll be winning those bids, getting those sales and projects you dreamed about, and moving toward the top of the world. Smile, but don't become a cocky jerk, and don't trash talk the competition. It's a long way down when you weren't gracious on the way up.
- Letting a single, early success make you lazy. Related to points #4, and to #2, no matter how good things are at this moment, you always need a pipeline of prospective business. A sale is great, but it's just one sale. In fact, as I've written before, the best time to make a second sale is right after the first. So never-never-let up on those business development efforts.

Chapter 1
8 years ago in Camden New Jersy
"Tag Your It!" He yelled as he started laughing and running off a bit.
I didn't know him but he seemed to comfort me. Before this happen i was with my mommy and daddy we were at this huge park with lots of trees and paths. I stopped to tie my shoes when i finished i looked up to see no one. "Mommy? Daddy?" I said terrified. No one answer so I kept walking straight ahead. Maybe I would find them.
But I didn't and me looking for them lead me to this small park where these kids played. I went inside sitting on a bench. "Do you want to play tag with me?" The boy asked me. "Sure." I said. "Ok. I'm Vincent." He said stretching his hand out to me. "I'm Gray." I said as i got up to play.
I ran more until i caught up to him he was a fast runner. He ran inside this building. He opened the door to me once i got there. "Do you want to come in?" He asked me concern on his face. "I dunno. It says Do Not Enter." I said to him. He moved to where i was and looked at the sign.
"Don't worry I come here all the time." He said grabbing on to my small hand. Just as we were about to enter voices yelled out. "Grey!!!!!!!! Come here!" I heard my Dad yell from the other side of the street. I turned around. "Daddy." I mumbled.
"Where you going?" Vincent asked me. "I gotta go home now." I said to him as he released my hand. I turned around to wave good bye. The Do Not Enter door slammed shut. I put my hand down and shrugged running off to my mom and dad who looked worried sick.
Little did i know that Vincent would Become the love of my life and everything that happened happened for a reason. Everything would be ok in the end......Or at least that's what i like to think

Curatio is the world's first social health prescription. What does that mean? The Curatio platform is designed to help patients find each other and the support, information, programs and personalized trackers they need to live their healthiest lives. Founder and CEO, Lynda Brown believes that connecting like-illness patients with each other inside a secure social network can significantly increase patient knowledge, adherence to treatment plans, and valuable peer support. We recently caught up with Lynda to learn more about her company, why she loves the Okanagan, and what it was like to be in the Dragons' Den.
Q: What inspired you to create and launch a platform like Curatio?
I had a complicated pregnancy and through that experience uncovered some really broken pieces of our healthcare system. When you or someone in your family is diagnosed with something you go into a bit of a tailspin. You have to learn all about the condition, it's a very isolating time. You really want to talk to other people who have gone through it. This experience is what inspired some ideas around how I could fix it.
I did a lot of research to see what was already out there and then spent even more time thinking about how a solution like Curatio would even work. I finally got up the guts to pitch the idea to one of my best friends who not only loved the idea and but proceeded to help me out by having a heart attack two weeks later. He quickly became my first use case and together we worked on the needs surrounding heart-attack recovery and Curatio was born.
Q: Where were you before Curatio?
I spent my entire career in digital media. I actually started off in educational broadcasting and then the web came along and I got to do a lot of really cool stuff with mixed multimedia, dialable bulletin board systems, and then through telecommunications, video gaming, pretty much every platform. My passion has always been using technology to connect people and that really describes who I am — I'm part connector and part geek.
Q: What was your biggest challenge in getting started?
Certainly, access to capital is a challenge that every CEO faces no matter if it's your pre-seed or angel round or series C. Everybody is challenged with it. And I think for us having a really great team and investors who also are aligned with our vision and not just our business has been very important. We've got a really great group behind us that are helping to open doors.
Q: What was it like to be a participant in Dragons' Den?
Dragons' Den was a pretty unique experience and certainly one that I don't know if I would want to repeat. It's very stressful. VERY STRESSFUL. Stress aside, I couldn't be happier with the investors we have and the support of the whole Dragons' Den team has actually been fantastic.
I think, as a CEO, part of your role is to share that vision and share it as often as you can. And I think when you have an opportunity to share with the rest of the world, say yes. No matter how scary it might be. Just jump in.
Q: What kind of goals do you have for Curatio over the next 5 to 10 years?
CEO's are terrible at resting and celebrating the moment right. We are always looking at the next thing and the next goal. We already have users in 65 countries and that well exceeds where I thought we would be now. That said, I'm looking forward to covering the rest of the world in the next year or so and that means making it available in multiple languages.
Q: What are Curatio's biggest challenges to growth?
Running a tech company is challenging but running a tech company in the health sector is even more challenging. Every country has a different set of regulations. This is not just straight up software. Privacy, for example, is very very important to what we are doing. And being privacy reliant in multiple jurisdictions around the world is all kinds of complicated. We are also a global platform and that means we need to have personalization settings for a very diverse base: different health conditions, different languages, different locations, different cultures.
Q: Why did Curatio choose to call the Okanagan home?
A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to attend Metabridge and that experience really opened my eyes to what was happening in the Okanagan. I remember thinking "Wow, there is a lot of cool stuff happening in Kelowna" and that kind of planted the seed. The Okanagan has all the makings of what you look for in a technology cluster. Fantastic university and college, vibrant community, Civic government that is very supportive of technology and a really great and innovative environment. When you are looking for a place to start a business like mine, these sorts of things are really important. Can I hire people here? Can I grow my business? Do I have industry support? Will I have a soft landing? Is it a progressive government environment?
The Okanagan has all of those things. That being said, Curatio is a very global company with a global platform so most of the folks on my team speak a couple of different languages and are located in different parts of the world. We are an interesting hybrid model of remote and face to face which is what your finding in most teams today. It's less about where your located and more about the team.
Q: Do you have any advice for entrepreneurs out there?
It's a fine balance between yes and no when you're starting a business. I am a big believer in saying yes. It opens you to opportunity and new connections you wouldn't see otherwise, and you have to lose some of that fear, you have to jump in. Balanced with that is knowing when to say no. Especially in the early stages - you can take a million different directions. You have to be really systematic in choosing one, testing it, iterating and pivoting to the next one is not right. It's hard to let go of some of those ideas sometimes.

The aim of this experiment is to find out what effect the change in voltage has upon the amount of copper deposited in 5 minutes. The voltages I will be using are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12volts; I will use these voltages because they are the only ones available on the power pack. I am doing the experiment for 5 minutes because it is enough time to get a result and it is short enough for doing 6 voltages in one lesson. I will repeat this on another lesson to gain 2 sets of results. Prediction I predict that 12v will produce the most copper because there is more energy being transferred into the copper ions making the move quicker.
Fair testing To make this experiment fair I will; use the same amount of copper chloride (30ml) for each test, use the same graphite rods and sand them down to the same weight each time, do the experiment for the same length of time (5 mins). Apparatus Power pack 50ml beaker 2 wires (with crocodile clips) 2 graphite rods Plastic rod holder Sand paper Copper chloride Stop watch * Filter paper (to filter and deposited copper in the solution) Funnel (to hold filter paper) * Weighing scales (electronic for more accuracy) Method.

First I will plug in the power pack and the scales, pour 30ml of copper chloride into a beaker, sand a graphite rod, weigh it, record its weight and clip the negative wire to it (this rod is going to collect the copper because it is negative and the positive ions of the copper will be attracted to it), the other rod will have the positive wire clipped to it (this will attract the negative atoms of the chlorine gas and bubbles will be seen around the positive rod), both rods will be put into the holder and the holder will be put in the beaker.
Now I will put the small wire on the power pack into 2v, turn on the power pack and start the stop watch. After 5 minutes I will turn off the power pack and stop the watch. I will unclip the negative wire from the graphite rod and put the rod on the scales. I have to filter the solution so that I can get the copper which has fallen to the bottom of the beaker. I will put what ever has been filtered with the rod on the scales and weigh it. I will record this and work out the amount of copper displaced by taking the starting weight and subtract it from the weight at the end of the test.
Now I will sand the rod and weigh it to the same weight as before, tip the solution down the sink, pour another 30ml in the beaker, change the voltage to 4v and turn on the power pack and start the stop watch. When 5 minutes is up I will repeat he process of weighing, filtering, etc. I will repeat all of the process for each voltage on the power pack recording the results and working out the amount of copper displaced. Results Test 1 Voltage Weight before Weight after Copper displaced .
Test 2 Voltage Weight before Weight after Copper displaced 2Analysis I think that the experiment was done fair apart from we couldn't get the rod the same starting weight each time. My prediction was correct as the test with 12v displaced the most copper.
Conclusion I have found out that the voltage does affect the amount of copper displaced in that if you increase the voltage so do you increase the amount of copper displaced. If I did the experiment again I would try to get the starting weights the same and I would probably change the time instead of the voltage.

There are so many bloggers and Instagrammers out there that I constantly go to to help inspire me. I don't think there's any harm in being inspired by others as long as that's exactly it… as long as you're not taking it too far and copying people. That's where the trouble starts.
Photography and blogging can be a very personal thing. It's incredibly important to find your own style as that's what is going to make you stand out. It also means it'll be more likely to get people to follow you.
I'm definitely still finding my direction and style. I used to be all about those bright, white shots but now I'm embracing the slightly more realistic images (and turning the brightness right down when I'm editing!).
I don't believe this change would have happened if I hadn't started being inspired by different people. For instance, at the moment, I am obsessed with Allie's Instagram. I love how her photos are instantly recognisable and I like how she's introducing more home-style shots o
There's a whole host of ways to find inspiration, one of my favourite ways to shoot is to have my laptop near me with Pinterest open. I have various boards for inspiration that help me with ideas and more specific shots, like how to style them or what angles to shoot. If shooting is proving difficult, I also find having a little scroll through Instagram works too. I always use the save feature on there, I find it the perfect way to get inspiration for shots. I have a whole collection on there just dedicated to helping me pose in photos!
If you've been directly inspired by someone, I always think it's quite nice to tell them or credit them. I've done this before and really, what nicer compliment is there than to hear you've inspired someone?
I'd love to hear other peoples opinions on this. Do you find yourself inspired by others?

Pregnant women with congenital heart disease had very low risks of arrhythmias (irregular heart beat) or other heart-related complications during labor and delivery, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2014.
However, such women were more likely to undergo cesarean section and remain in the hospital longer, researchers said.
"We are pleased to find the risk of complications are not as high as expected in women with congenital heart disease," said Robert M. Hayward, M.D., lead study author and a cardiac electrophysiology fellow of the University of California in San Francisco. "While we don't know why these women have longer hospital stays, it's possible their doctors are keeping them admitted for extra observation."
Previous research has found that childbirth is a time of increased risk for complications in women with congenital heart disease, but little is known about what those cardiovascular risks might be.
Congenital heart disease occurs when there is a problem with the structure of the heart at birth. Congenital heart defects affects about 8 of every 1,000 infants born – about 32,000 infants each year in the United States. Today, there are more than 1 million Americans living with congenital heart disease. Improvements in the treatment of congenital heart disease has helped more women reach childbearing age.
Researchers analyzed medical records of more than 2.7 million women who gave birth in California. Among this group, 3,218 women had non-complex congenital heart disease and 248 women had complex congenital heart disease, whose conditions were more advanced and had likely warranted surgical treatment during early childhood.
Researchers found:
- Reports of heart failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest were low for all three groups of women.
- In-hospital death rates were not significantly higher for women with complex congenital heart disease.
- 47 percent of women with complex congenital heart disease underwent cesarean section compared to 40 percent of women with non-complex congenital heart disease and 33 percent of women without congenital heart disease.
- Women with complex congenital heart disease remained in the hospital on average 5 days, compared with women with non-complex congenital heart disease (3.4 days) and women without congenital heart disease (2.5 days).
- A history of congestive heart failure was more common in women with complex congenital heart disease (8.1 percent) versus 2.6 percent of women with non-complex congenital heart disease and 0.08 percent in women without congenital heart disease.
Hayward cautions that their study offers only a snapshot in time and does not address the maternal health of those with congenital heart disease during pregnancy or postpartum, nor does it look at fetal health during pregnancy.
"The data allows us to see associations, but it does not suggest any cause and effect," Hayward said. "We'd like to look at the period after delivery to see if there were any new admissions, heart failure or other complications to develop a better understanding of the health needs of maternal patients with congenital heart disease."
