.msh file instead of .cas file in HS
martn posted a topic in Altair HyperStudyHello guys, I tried the tutorial "HS-1545: DOE and Optimization Study with HyperMesh, HyperStudy, and ANSYS CFX" and it worked very well. Now I want to use a .msh file instead of the model.cas file. I thought there should be no problem because it is also a fluent-file. So I created a new study and went through the steps of the setup. When I reached the "evalute" step HS was able to write the Input files. But when HS wanted to execute it shows me always the attached picture. Is it possible to change some terms in the responsible files to avoid this error? Or is it just impossible to use a .msh file?
Model tab
duccps posted a topic in Altair HyperMeshHelp me! restore the model tab, please,,
Dear Support Team, I use Hypermesh and Optistruct to build flexbody models to use in MSC Adams MBD models. Since my flexbody models are large and have too many unused DOFs, I need to reduce them only to ASET DOFs. In the particular problem I'm trying to solve, I have a machine part with a few ASETs to attach/constrain it and a single location where I get response data from. So, the only DOFs I need are the DOFs of this response location (in addition to the DOFs of other ASETs). I can put an ASET on this location but I don't know how to force Optistruct to output only ASET DOFs to the generated Adams MNF file. In the docs for Optistruct MODEL solver card, Comment #1 states that: "For CMS superelements output in h3d format, only the ASET DOF are output when the MODEL data is not present." I need this same effect but with MNF format and not h3d format, since I work with MSC Adams and not Motion View. I have tried a few ways on my own but have been unable to succeed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best regards.
Force Label
francoisceg64 posted a topic in Altair HyperMeshHello guys, I am building a small size model with many forces close to each other, and there is a white label "FORCE" next to the red arrow that is the force applied. For the publication, I need diagrams with a clear view of the arrows, and that is impossible due to all the force labels overlapping each other. I have tried a lot of settings but that white force label will not disappear. Any ideas? Thanks! PS: the "label loads" option in the forces menu does not affect said label, it only adds the magnitude of the force next to the "FORCE" label.
Select and Delete Collectors By Name
Gnokrojam posted a topic in Altair HyperMeshOur bolts, nuts, and washers, have part numbers where the letter m is either the second or third character. All of the other characters are numerals. How can I delete *m* collectors? I want to get rid of all of my bolts, nuts, and washers quickly. I do want a chance to review them first and make sure I haven't accidently somehow included a desireable part. Then after the review, delete them all! I am using HM 12.0 on Windows 7 on an HP computer. Thank you. Phil
Beam Model and Shell Model Differences
NickC posted a topic in Altair HyperMeshUsing Hypermesh 2017, and User Optistruct. I have been trying to get the contour plots of a chassis both modeled with a beam model and a shell model to match up but the deflections of the shell model are always about 2 times as large. It should also be noted that the deflection images are nearly exactly the same with the same deflection trends but just the magnitudes are different. The following conditions are the exact same for both: forces, location of forces, constraints, overall size, thickness and material. The only conditions that are different would be the properties as the beam model is modeled with a PBEAM and assigned the correct beamsection while the Shell model is modeled with a PSHELL card and then assigned the thickness. Are there any common errors that would be able to describe why the beam model has almost exactly half the deflection of the shell model? Thanks for any Help , reply if more info is needed. Nicholas C.
Model (geometry and elements) disappeared suddenly
Julio posted a topic in Altair HyperMeshHello, I was working on my FEA creating bars to join the RBE2 I'm using to simulate bolts. Suddenly, my model has disappeared from the graphics area. In the corner which is below in the right side, the scale line seems to show a bug. All the information about the components is still in the model tab, but i can't find a way to visualize the model again. I've tried fitting the model, checked no transparency is selected, components are activated... Anyone has any idea about what could be happening? I have no problems with sharing the model if necessary. Thanks for your attention, Julio

Mesh component deleted, problems arise
Drew Bresnahan posted a topic in Altair FEKOI obtained a download of an inhomogeneous human head model which was pre-meshed, from the looks of it. This model includes an "airbox" surrounding the human. Here's an image with a cutplane on top of the airbox to see the human inside: I wish to place a source near the head to simulate the near fields, but placing anything inside the airbox will cause errors since the meshes of the source will interfere with the mesh of the "airbox." Naturally, I tried simply deleting the airbox and re-simulating, but this error appears: Also, the downloaded human model seems to be of a different type than a normal created construction, since I see a different blue icon to the left of the model's material items: Has anyone run into this issue before? I can't place a source in the airbox mesh, and I can't delete the mesh without ruining the model for some reason. Any ideas? Thanks, Drew

You know those days when you wake up and you instantly regret waking up? I'm sure I have a lot of dreams that I just don't remember, but I'm almost always sure that the dream is better than the reality. So I wake…
Category: bitterness, creativity, Entertainment, First World Problems, Humor, laziness, SarcasmTags: asleep, Bitter Friday Giftures, Humor, sleep deprived
Greetings Bitter People of the Internet. My name is Bitter Ben and I started blogging when I got fed up. Talking to people, listening to them complain and blame me for things I had nothing to do with. A long time ago, I learned in marketing that you should find a need and fill it. I started noticing that a lot of people like to complain about little things, but they felt ashamed to do it, because they felt like they were being petty.
I came up with the idea to start a 900 line (1-900-BITR-BEN), where people could call and complain about all the little things that drove them crazy, but the twist was that the Customer Service Rep could also complain back. This would not only allow all the complainers to get it out of their systems, but the call would be longer and I would get more money. This lead me to come up with my tag line, "We make bitter better." That idea failed because of a number of reasons, so instead I did the next best thing.
I started my blog www.bensbitterblog.com, and it was a huge success. I had 10,000 loyal bitter followers, but that blog was ruthlessly and painful taken from me by WordPress. Read more here and here.
A blog wasn't enough for me though. I wanted T-shirts, Bitter Themed Restaurants, and maybe even a last placed sports team. Since my blog was stolen from me, I decided to start this one, that includes everything Entertainment, IE Bitter Entertainment Network, or BEN.
This means as soon as I get up and running. I am going to start an actual television network, via YouTube where you will see everything related to Bitterness. Buckle up, it going to be a bitter ride. For now, jump into this bitter filled environment, where you are free to complain as bitterly as you like. No matter how petty, all bitterness is free to roam these wide open bitter halls, or meadows if you prefer. Comment the heck out of every post, because you can be sure I will comment right back with more bitterness. Let's "Make Bitter Better".

Doris tried to relieve the itch with all sorts of remedies, but nothing seemed to work.
Up until 35, Doris had lived a full life. She was a science teacher who loved her job and away from work, she was a free spirit who loved the outdoors. She had just added another feather to her cap by scaling Mount Kenya at 34 and she felt very proud of herself.
Then her woes began. She noticed a persistent itch in her vulva (external genitalia).
At first it was mild, coming on and off, and she ignored it. As it persisted, she went to a pharmacy, where she was given a cream across the counter. She used it for a while with some relief while another two months flew by.
One day, after participating in a charity half-marathon, the itch overwhelmed her and she sought medical help.
The doctor prescribed antifungal capsules and a steroid cream. She faithfully used her medication but she did not get much relief. The discomfort was beginning to affect her life.
She lost interest in sex, which strained her relationship with her boyfriend. She spent all her time online trying to find solutions. She tried all manner of remedies. She discarded all her fancy sheer underwear in favour of cotton, she tried different types of sanitary towels, she ditched her denims and resorted to wearing dresses, to no avail. She adjusted her diet, went vegan, changed her soap and replaced her bathing flannel, but it was all in vain.
Repeated treatments for candidiasis did not help. She visited various outpatient clinics that her medical insurance permitted, but never quite got an answer.
She even attempted the old wives' therapies of applying natural yoghurt to her vulva at bedtime, using aloe vera therapies purchased online and even traditional herbs. The itch soldiered on unperturbed.
Doris suffered in complete isolation, having grown up without sisters and having never formed strong bonds with her female friends. Due to her love for the outdoors, most of her close friends were men. She realised she did not have anyone to talk to. She suffered silently.
Her vulval skin was dry, flaky and was becoming hard. She failed to appreciate the developing mass underneath as she attributed these changes to the prolonged itch-scratch cycle that had become her life.
One day, Doris' church hosted a free cervical cancer screening camp. Doris decided to consult the screening nurse. By this time, Doris had developed an ulcer in her genitals. The nurse referred her straight to the teaching hospital where she had a biopsy done and a diagnosis of vulval cancer was made. Doris was devastated. She had no idea how to explain this to her loved ones. Yes she had cancer, but she could not even explain it to her mother. She could only show her the lesion. The fact that the vulva is a private body part that isn't publicly discussed remains a hindrance to many when it comes to talking about this uncommon cancer.
She was grateful she had a female headmistress who was very understanding and allowed her time off work to seek medical care. The next week she was admitted to the ward and underwent surgery. No amount of counselling prepared her for the mutilation occasioned by the surgery. To fully excise the tumour, a large chunk of flesh had to be taken out of her vulva, extending all the way to the inguinal area (near the abdomen).
The healing was slow and exhausting. She spent her days sitting on her bed, legs together to prevent tension on the sutures and to prevent the wound from breaking down. She was on antibiotics for weeks to prevent infection and had to keep the dreaded urinary catheter (to help her excrete urine) for a month.
Her wounds healed but the scars remained as a testimony of what she had undergone. She survived the radiotherapy and despite the odds, Doris survived the cancer. Five years on, she has gotten her life back, but she hasn't quite found the words to describe her experience.
Vulval itching is not normal. A majority of cases will be due to candidiasis (yeast infection), but this is a cardinal sign of vulval cancer. Stop rationalising it. No, it is not your underwear, it is not your tight jeans, it is not your sanitary towel. See your gynaecologist and get a proper diagnosis. It will save your life!

The next AI assignment is due on the 16th of September and I am swamped with two other assignments coming up on the 11th and 8th of September, not to mention the 12th September GUI Project requirement specifications to hand in.
The AI algorithm is fairly straightforward, implementing the BFS, DFS and A* algorithms in Java. I've started on it already and have the map made using a HashMap for the nodes as the keys and an ArrayList as the data structure holding the nodes that can be reached from the node in the key. I have the class methods and specifications made for the BFS and DFS implementations. Just have to iron them out now. The A* is going to be after I do this.
I have a good group set up for my "Graphical User Interfaces" class. Both of my other two teammates are hardworking guys. One hails from Iran but is an American citizen and the other is good old fashioned Pakistani bloke from Islambad. Both are jovial and quirky characters that keep the atmosphere light and productive. Just how I like it. Sometimes when you are under stress and need to meet a deadline, having a group that knows how to laugh helps a lot. Takes the stress out of the whole thing and makes us think clearer on what needs to be done.
I have to catch upto a lot of reading for all my classes. The AI, GUI and Cost Management Economics specifically. Better get started this weekend and put the pedal to the metal.

Respected Mufti Saheb i had a dream wherein I found myself in our old big flat(no longer live in it but dad still owns it) and I was standing and reading namaaz on an old dark green carpet we once owned and it was looking in good condition(we threw it away long time ago the carpet) . Since I was in the lounge I could see outside through the glass doors we had there. I saw it was cloudy. Mufti Saheb I was still standing and reading namaaz and looked at the dark green carpet and I then I was so sad. I was thinking that I use to be good when I was small and go for umrah so many times and now i changed for the worse and don't go for umrah.I was wishing that I was pious like before. I then started to cry a lot but softly all the while thinking how I wasted my life . Mufti Saheb could you please interpret my Dream & Please make Dua Allah Changes my life for the better

Yes, I am male, and yes I'm writing this. But I believe men can - and should - write stories with leading women. I also feel society should stop modifying "female" with strong, and "strong female" with character.
This shouldn't be challenging. Others have succeeded at it with no more struggle than they've had at writing male characters. The only real difference between the two is that one has the capability of becoming pregnant and reducing testosterone through crying.
Joss Whedon, known for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Avengers and having his name mistaken for Josh, constantly writes strong characters. Sometimes his characters have y-chromosomes, sometimes they don't. When they don't, the characters have all the traits you would normally expect – goals, beliefs, flaws, struggles, and abs. They have pasts to overcome, ethics to be challenged, and imperfections to hide.
It doesn't matter if they're male, female, gay, lesbian, transgender, or hermaphrodite.

They're stripped of what makes them human and left with shallow caverns where their personalities and emotions once were. They have a total disregard to everyone with and without a pules, yet still accomplish anything they want. That doesn't work for any character.

Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice wants to marry, but her pursuit involves the societal contradictions of the 19th century. Matilda from Roald Dahl's surprisingly titled, Matilda, was strong, and she just wanted some parents to support her.
At least that's what it turns out to be after you read the page title correctly and realize it's not a prostitution ring.
Skyler, for all intents and purposes, is a woman in the role of a housewife, despite once working in the accounting department of a local business. When her husband's meth-cooking scheme goes too far, she responds. She struggles. She fails. She turns outright nasty at times. When she does, she draws the ire and hatred of so many fans who feel she's not being supportive enough or giving her husband whatever he needs. Some of the comments people post about her are down right misogynistic.
WARNING! - Offensive and crude language in the following image. Skip ahead to avoid it and your loss of faith in humanity.
Sure, it's natural to cheer for the protagonist despite their flaws and shortcomings, but protagonists can only be liked as much as the antagonists are hated. In this case, there aren't many people more hated than Skyler.
That's sad, because her character is one the best written on television. She's deep and nuanced. She serves as an amazing on-again, off-again antagonist. When the show devotes time to her character development, it's still just as good. She's a character that anyone could spend hundreds of hours studying and analyzing. She's strong and she just happens to be a woman.
If Skyler were a man, or if the character traits of her and Walt were switched, I think everyone would still see her as a conniving backstabber and Walt as the hero. Even if their characters were switched, we would still be asking why his character is so riveting and entertaining. We would be asking how to make other characters as strong and immersed as him.
So, there are really two options here. Either we can acknowledge that there are no differences between female and male characters other than anatomy, or we can continue stuffing our heads in dark, moist places and keep asking, Can women be people, with thoughts, emotions, and desires?

− Abigail Poeske, representative of the "Fulbright program" in Ukraine, English Conversation teacher at the Department of Foreign Languages (Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University) about the stereotypes regarding Ukraine, limited academic freedom of Ukrainian students, hardworking Ukrainians, existing cultural and value differences between our country and USA.
Abby Poesce
1. Where are you from? Boston, MA, USA.
2. Where do you work in Ukraine? Chernivtsi National University, English Language Department in the Department of Foreign Languages. I am English Conversation teacher for 2nd and 4th year students
3. What motivated you to choose exactly this educational institution? What documents were necessary for that? I did not choose this institution – the Fulbright Program placed me there.
4. What is the fundamental difference or similarity between Ukrainian and foreign higher education system experienced by you during the first month of your work? The cheating culture, the lack of independence granted to students, the small group system (students stay with the same small core group for all 4 years). Also students have too many different classes per week.
5. How does your usual working day look like? If this means how long it lasts, it varies by day. Anywhere from 1.5-5 hours.
6. What did you know about Ukraine? What stereotypes did you have before your arrival to Ukraine (if any)? I did not know much about Ukraine. The stereotypes were that Ukrainians are hardworking people who can be rather cold to strangers, but also are hospitable. I also had heard about corruption existing here.
7. What project are you working on now? I am teaching English conversation to 4th year students and have organized a "Global Collaboration Project" to connect my 2nd year students online with Czech and American students to practice English language and discuss global issues.
8. What impressed you in the features of mentality in the country you are currently working in? I am impressed by the hard work ethic of Ukrainians! I also am impressed by my students' ability to memorize texts!
9. What are your impressions of the city, campus, higher education institution? Are there any preferences, bonuses for students, faculty of your higher education institution? The city is lovely! It has everything one needs to live comfortably. The campus is pretty on the outside, but not very nice or comfortable on the inside – there is no Wi-fi available everywhere, or modern technology.
10. What are five reasons for studying, working or living in Ukraine as for foreigners? People are welcoming to foreigners, it is an affordable country, it has a beautiful architecture, it has a rich history, its culture is vastly different from the US and Western Europe.
11. What are the main values of the average citizen of your country and Ukrainian citizen? What are the similarities and differences? Americans value independence, self-happiness, and opportunity. Ukrainian citizens seem to value family, hard work, and tradition. I think the values differ greatly. Both cultures value their children and the freedom of their nation.
12. How do you think, what part of the civilization space Ukraine is? What are the main achievements and problems of the Ukrainian state? I think Ukraine has a lot of work to do but has a great potential if it gets rid of corruption. Corruption is the biggest problem of the Ukrainian state.
13. Are you planning to return to Ukraine, to live and to work here? What would you like to bring from the foreign education institution you studied in to Ukrainian universities? I am not planning to return to Ukraine to live or work. I hope to bring to Chernivtsi University a more comfortable student-professor relationship and the opportunity to do extracurricular activities, such as the Global Collaboration Project, a poetry contest, and English Club.

This holiday I decided to have a staycation, which according to Urban Dictionary can be defined as "A vacation that is spent at one's home enjoying all that home and one's home environs have to offer." (Just in case you thought it was a holiday that involved the quitting of steak, as a certain friend did! ;). Since Hong Kong is my new home, I thought I would try get through my checklist of "must-see" attractions. I did quite a bit, so instead of a long post, I thought I would just do a bit of a photo entry, Here is what I got up to:
Art Basel
My friend, Tiffany, and I began the day at 11am and by closing at 6pm we had only made it through half of the first floor, with this much art from all over the world, I was so inspired to get back to my sketch book. We were also lucky enough to get VIP tickets so we could grab an uncrowded late lunch in the Collectors lounge, with a pretty great view! I ended the day having drinks at the Red Bar in IFC, a rooftop bar overlooking the Kowloon side where you can BYOB, not a bad way to kick off my holiday.
As you know by now, this is my favorite place in Hong Kong, I couldn't go a holiday with out making it out to have some good old fish and chips!
Lamma Island
My first trip to Lamma, the views were stunning and it was so good to have the sunshine on our skin. However, I will leave it as what happens on Lamma, stays on Lamma.
Tai O Fishing Village
This has been on my Hong Kong bucket list from day one and it met every expectation. We caught a tourist boat forHKD25 and got to see pink dolphins! The smell of dry fish and egg yoke is something that I still cant get out of my memory, but the walk through the village is well worth it to get to the Heritage Hotel for a delicious 3 course meal!
Tai Wai and Heritage Museum, New Territories
I first went to the Heritage museum, where I got to learn about the history of Hong Kong as well as attend a couple of exhibitions. After this I met up with a friend, Lois, from Into the Woods production, who showed me around her neighbourhood of Tai Wai and got me to try out some interesting, and delicious authentic Chinese food. We then really did go into the woods and discovered the most magnificent views!
Sha Tin: Ten thousand Buddhas
This might be known as the ten thousand Buddhas, but there are also ten thousand stairs. I really wish I could have taken photo's inside of the temples, they were exquisite!
I felt like a small child at Christmas when visiting Disneyland! I have read so many mixed reviews, but if you are a Disney fan, you will love it no matter what. We ate just about everything, went on rides, yes even I went on the rides, when in Disney! I will be buying a year pass so I can go watch those fireworks on a bad day 🙂
All in all, I had a wonderful time exploring my new home, I only wish I had done a bit more exploring of my own country! It is back to work for me, but I am so glad to have my housemates back so that I can have a few more adventures with them.
Love and adventures everyone

Hate it.
HAAAAAATE it.
With the fire and passion of a thousand suns.
My issue with this terms stems partially from my Free Range sensibilities. Are our kids are so over-scheduled these days that we need to set up specific dates for them to play, in the same way I have to schedule meetings and time to workout?
However, I believe my biggest issue with play dates now that I am a mom, is my own shyness when it comes to approaching people. Just to give you an idea of that shyness, I believe that one of the world's greatest innovations, far more wondrous than nanotechnology, vaccines, or even central air conditioning, is the ability to order a pizza online without having to talk to anyone other than the delivery guy. (And if you have exact change with tip, you can even get away with only grunting at him).
Since play dates are necessarily set up between kids who like each other rather than between parents who are friends, it's all a little much for those who can find themselves intimidated by the social interaction required for ordering carryout.
So, now that LO has reached an age wherein he is making friends independent of J and I, I am in the position of wanting to schedule the dreaded play dates so that I can encourage him to build strong relationships and learn socialization, sharing, and how to pretend that the carpet is made of lava.
I've been making a hash of it.
LO has a new best friend. He met his friend about a month ago, when said friend started at LO's school. LO and Friend were friends from day one, as if they recognized in each other kindred spirits. At school, they play kamikaze follow-the-leader, wherein one will run while shouting joyously until he falls over into heap and the other will repeat the exact running path, unintelligible shout, and particular heap-shape, until it is time to get up and start running and shouting again. They meticulously build towers together which they then take great glee in destroying together. They share a deep and abiding interest in anything on wheels.
I would love to foster this adorable friendship, but I'm intimidated both by the fact that I do not know Friend's parents, and by the fact that Friend's family is bilingual. These are ridiculous reasons to be intimidated, I know, but have you met me?
J, who similarly avoids having to talk to pizza parlors when not necessary, has suggested we invite Friend and parents over to the park across the street from us when the weather gets a little warmer. That way, it won't be nearly as big a commitment as having them over to our house, but will still give the young men a great chance to enjoy themselves, free of the social awkwardness that plagues the adult set.
I'll even call it a play date when I set it up with Friend's mom.
And, I'll keep my crotchets and grunting to a minimum. We'd like to make a good impression, here.

Thanks to Finish for sponsoring today's discussion. All opinions offered in this post are my own. I only share products that I truly love and use in my own home, and this is one of them!
In the past year, I have become more conscious of the health of my family, what comes into my home, and the cleaning products I use. We are making a real effort to eat better, clean better and be more active. We go to the farmer's market regularly, eat way less red meat, and I have made more of an effort to buy things that are safe, are free from harsh chemicals, and still clean great. It can be a hard task, but when it comes to my dishwasher detergent, it's been an easy one.
Last year I talked about how much I love Finish dishwasher detergent. It's truly the only product that has ever worked well for me. I can put dishes into the dishwasher without pre-rinsing (although that's really hard for me!) and I know they will come out shiny and clean.
I was recently asked to be a part of an awesome new campaign, "Alliance of Moms," over the next several months that will feature the new Finish Power and Free detergents, and I was able to try the new detergent and also new Jet-Dry Power & Free.
The best part is the new Finish Quantam and Powerball detergents contain no bleach, use less fragrances and dyes than regular Finish detergents, and they are so much better for the health of my family. My dishes still come out sparkling clean! I've made the mistake of switching to other detergents and have always come back to Finish.
Hear it straight from them:
What is so special about the Power & Free products?
* Features Hydrogen Peroxide Action to power away the toughest food messes
* Detergents (Quantum & Powerball) contains no chlorine bleach, use less fragrances and dyes versus regular Finish detergents
* Finish Jet-Dry® Power & Free™ contains less harsh chemicals versus the regular formula
I truly stand behind this product and can't wait to share more of it with you in the coming months!

Danish participation in IEA Annex 63 - Local mplementation of energy strategies
- Project period
- 1. January 2014 - 1. August 2017
- Partners
- Cenergia Energy Consultants DTU Civil Engineering
The objective of Annex 63 is to develop strategies and guidelines for concrete implementation of targets for
increased energy efficiency in communities.
The work in this project is thus unique in two key areas:
- It elevates focus from individual buildings to cities, districts and municipalities. There is much knowledge
about energy efficiency at the building level, while knowledge and strategies for interventions that include a
large scale with a plurality of buildings and uses are lacking.
- It focuses on the complex implementation strategies. Although there are a number of technological
solutions available, these are scarcely applied, and research shows that it takes a special effort to drive
the implementation processes.
This project looks at energy efficient technologies and methods in a specific local context and creates
knowledge about possible strategies, tools and skills for implementation into practice.
It is vital for implementation to involve local stakeholders (government, citizens, institutions and utilities),
and the project focuses on citizen participation and collaboration between stakeholders.
The idea behind the Danish participation is to be based on the case studies of Danish municipalities with
experience in implementation processes ( Subtask C ) and thereby generate input for both Methodology (
Subtask A) and the Planning Process ( Subtask B). The applicants, Cenergia, DIST, and DTU, therefore
involve interested local authorities and other stakeholders in taking active part in the knowledge production
and dissemination, re. letters of intent. The interdisciplinary case studies include analysis of infrastructure
at community level, planning practices, and institutional capabilities. Through the analysis the participating
municipalities will get feedback to strengthen their implementation processes. The applicants' assessment
is that the Danish experiences with dialogue -oriented approaches constitute an important input from
Denmark to the IEA project.
Since it is an IEA project emphasis is on knowledge sharing and dissemination, both internationally and
nationally. Nationally the objective is to ensure, that the knowledge and results of the IEA project is
disseminated to Danish municipalities / stakeholders. Another result of the work on the case studies is the
creation of a socio-technical evaluation tool to strengthen local reflection about implementation options .
The national context
We consider it important to participate in the IEA project based on work from our national context, so that
the work creates value both for the IEA project and for Denmark. The work is based on a desire for greater
understanding of the urban ' hub ', and an increased knowledge and new tools for widespread
implementation will strengthen Danish companies and municipalities in achievining green development and

Never give up hope. And don't give in to isolation and despair.
This is my advice to the adoptive/foster/step-parent who finds yourself in an ongoing storm that seems to engulf them with no way out, like a spinning tornado that keeps hurling debris at you.
The new book by Mike Berry, Confessions of an Adoptive Parent, has been one of the Love-bombs God has recently dropped on me as he shows me an ever-widening break in the storm clouds that have permeated my life for a while. Mike uses the analogy of a storm in the book (no wonder I relate so well!) and the reality that the sun still shines, even though hidden temporarily by the storm clouds. (He puts it way more elegantly – – so you really need to read the book to get the full heart-boosting effect.)
Being on the launch team for the book was very timely as it arrived just when my husband and I were/are stretched thin and enveloped in a struggle to find a way to deal with one of our adopted children and get them the help they need while keeping everyone safe – – an increasingly difficult and frustrating process as this child's difficult behaviors were rapidly escalating. Reading the book during this period has given me a helpful re-grounding and perspective. When your world spins out of control, to hear from those who have "been there done that" and come out on the other side, PLUS who have the same faith and values is HUGE!
The over-arching premise of Confessions . . . is that "You are not alone." And it is a message of hope. Isn't that what we all need, what our children need, when we are in the middle of an ongoing storm? We live in an area where tornados are sometimes a threat. We learned to go to an interior room without windows whenever a tornado threatens. We also pray. And we monitor the weather radio. We have not had a tornado hit our house, but have had friends and family who have. Thankfully the damage has not extended to loss of life, but that is always a concern and possibility. Growing up with the threat of tornados I have not felt fearful of them since I can remember. I tended to feel secure in our routines that I and my family would be okay. Not because I am unaware or in denial of the devastation they can cause, but because of my faith in God, and the many times he has provided protection.
What procedures do you take to get through the difficult storms with your kids? Just like when severe weather threatens, prayer is number one. But also, gathering together (rather than dividing and isolating ourselves as we may feel like doing) can help us and our children feel calmer and confident. So WE need to be calm and confident – – and that comes with faith and the disciplines that as Christians we lean on and embrace even more in the storminess. Remembering the storms we have faced before can be helpful. And hearing from those who were hit and suffered damage, but survived can give us hope. Keeping our ears alert to any changes – for the better or worse just as with weather emergencies can help us know what to do and when. Certainly having our emergency plans in place can help us weather these types of storms as well.
We recently had a homeschool group field trip to a local fire station. We learned a lot about their duties and capabilities such as that here, each fireman was trained (or training) in paramedics as well and that each firetruck was outfitted with the same equipment as the ambulances except a bed to transport someone to the hospital. In learning about community help for our daughter, I had to learn what was (and was not) available from the different sources in order to navigate the best path and plan for her. I am happy to say that we now have the beginnings of a plan in place for her and I am seeing a bit more sunshine as the clouds are opening up. The sun really is still there, shining all along.
I received no compensation for recommending this book and my opinions are entirely my own. I was thrilled to get the book (and journal) free for previewing it and highly recommend it to you as well. Get your copy here.

On April 22, Dana Scatton lost her battle with cancer and was unable to say goodbye to her daughter because the disease had taken away her ability to speak.
The illness had come on suddenly and robbed the young mother-to-be of the joyous months preceding the birth of her baby, but she refused to let it stop her from safely bringing her little girl into this world.
In the fall of 2017, Dana Scatton was in a happy place.
The Pennsylvania teen had just started college and was seven-and-a-half-months pregnant with a baby girl that she was looking forward to welcoming into the world.
But then came the strange symptoms that quickly became terrifying.
After going to the emergency room and getting a CT scan, Dana and her family got the devastating news.
Doctors found a lesion on her brain, and an MRI revealed that she had a 2.3-centimeter cancerous brain tumor. Dana was diagnosed with a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), the deadliest form of brain cancer and the one most commonly found in children.
On December 12, 2017, Dana and her mother met with Dr. Jean Belasco, a pediatric oncologist at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, to discuss her treatment options.
Dana asked the doctor point blank what the survival rate was for her form of cancer. "And she said there is none."
"It was a lot to take in," said Dana's mother, Lenore. "But we prayed and thanked God in the office that day."
When Dana met with her doctors the week before that Christmas to map out her radiation treatments, she had already decided that she would wait until after she had delivered her baby to start. The mom-to-be feared the effect the treatment would have on her unborn child and fearlessly refused to put her unborn baby's health at risk.
But the expectant mom's condition deteriorated rapidly. She was having difficulty breathing and was no longer unable to climb the stairs at home.
She was admitted to the hospital on Christmas Day 2017, and she started radiation the next day.
On January 4, 2018, Dana gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Aries Marie. She weighed 4 lb. 6 oz.
"I just want to share to everyone how strong my little girl is," Dana shared in a Facebook post. "She was born 33 weeks 4 days came out doing everything on her own!"
Dana continued treatments for her cancer, even traveling to Mexico at one point to take part in some extremely costly experimental therapies.
But the disease took its toll on the young mother, and Dana passed away two days after Easter 2019.
According to her family on Facebook, Dana died in the early morning. "She inspired us all to be better than who we are and to keep God in our focus at every moment," they wrote. "She faced the greatest fear of all, death, and smiled back with a grin only God can instill. She fought harder than the toughest warriors known to man and did it with grace and valor."
Her family would like to remember the spirited young woman who was devoted to her little girl and fought so bravely to stay with her for every second she could.
"We may never have the right things to say to truly honor the amazing, smart, loving, caring, passionate, incredibly beautiful and free spirited mother, daughter, niece, sister, cousin, friend and independent woman Dana was every day," they added in a Facebook post tribute.
While she was here, Dana inspired many with her courage and her fierce love for life.
"It was such a wake-up call, getting death thrown in your face … it's so real … it really shows you what's true. This world doesn't matter … it's temporary, you know?" she told the Daily Advertiser.
"When I found out, immediately, I just let the whole world go … We all think we are gonna have so much time. Honestly, I feel thankful I have this time to wake up and realize what's right. And I want everybody to see that … Death happens in the blink of an eye. I want people to realize how important it is to make things right."

Litigation teams are often under intense pressure to develop the optimal case strategy, comply with key filing deadlines and confer regularly with their clients every step of the discovery process. With all of these crucial responsibilities to manage, it's understandable that lawyers and paralegals would be tempted to view court reporting services for their case depositions as a routine task that just involves making a call and scheduling a reporter. To ensure quality, it's not that simple.
Just as litigators need to invest time in case preparation to do their best work for a client, court reporters can deliver a higher quality service and more positive experience to you if they are able to invest time in advance preparing for the deposition.
Here are some examples of how advance preparation of court reporters can improve your service experience:
- Cleaner transcripts
A court reporter can provide a more useful transcript to you if they are able to update the dictionary in their transcription software in advance. You should expect your court reporting firm to send the assigned reporter an electronic file containing prior depositions and pleadings in advance of the deposition. This is especially important in realtime depositions.
- Address special requirements
Court reporting firms can make sure that special deposition needs are met when they are given time to prepare. For example, do you need a videographer for the deposition? Will an interpreter be necessary? Will you be deposing an expert witness in a highly technical field or perhaps a witness with a significant language accent? These are special requirements that can be addressed with advance preparation.
- Deposition schedule
The litigation process can be extremely unpredictable — it's common for certain depositions to be shorter or longer than you might have anticipated — but to the extent possible, you should prepare your court reporter in advance with an estimated length of time for the deposition. This information allows them to make appropriate personal arrangements, especially if you think the deposition or hearing might go into the evening hours. This will reduce the risk of disruption to the deposition.
- Turnaround time
All depositions are assumed to be important, but in practice some are more time-sensitive than others. If you know in advance that you will need an expedited transcript from the court reporter, it is important to make that request ahead of time so the agency's Calendar team can work with the assigned reporter to schedule appropriate time to meet your delivery requirement.
It's important to understand that not all court reporting firms use the same processes for selecting, assigning and preparing court reporters for depositions. For example, at Henderson Legal Services, our court reporters are selected based on the specific needs of the client. We match reporters with the type of case/litigation, experience working on depositions in specific industries, overall level of experience, and special skills required, if any.
Moreover, Henderson Legal Services is also unique in the way we prepare reporters for each deposition. We provide the reporter with the Notice of Deposition, complaint(s), pleadings, interrogatories, key terms list, list of acronyms, and copies of any available deposition transcripts previously taken on the same matter. Whenever possible, we also work to assign the same qualified reporter to multiple depositions to be taken on the same matter to deliver maximum continuity of service to our clients.

Buyers Gloomy Over Presidential Election
June 8, 2016
Home buyers are growing concerned about the presidential election. Nearly 27 percent of home buyers believe the outcome of the presidential election could make the housing market worse, according to a new survey conducted by Redfin of nearly 1,000 home buyers nationwide. That is nearly double the negative response the brokerage saw in February when it surveyed buyers on the topic.
Get Out the Vote
When Presidential Candidates Talk Real Estate
"With all the political in-fighting the country has had in the past, it is unlikely the new president will be able to soothe both sides immediately, and that may cause instability [in] the market," a first-time buyer in Virginia noted in the survey. About 200 home buyers elaborated on their responses in the survey about why they felt the presidential election outcome would be bad for housing.
For some respondents, the presidential election is giving them the feeling of wanting to flee. Ten percent of buyers surveyed said they'd consider moving out of the country if their candidate lost the election (although only a handful vowed to actually do it).
"One of my clients explicitly told me they're selling their home and moving to Canada regardless of who is elected. He thinks any of the current choices will send the U.S. into a downward spiral," says Redfin real estate professional Alin Glogovicean. "The election is definitely weighing on some of my clients."
Who would be the best candidate for housing? The highest number of respondents, at nearly 28 percent, said the housing market would be better served having alternatives to candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Nevertheless, "while home owner anxiety over the election is clearly mounting, the likelihood of an immediate shock to the market is slim," says Redfin Chief Economist Nela Richardson. "It will take considerable time for our next commander-in-chief to implement policies that have any impact on housing."
Redfin officials earlier this year released a list of six questions about the real estate market they hope the presidential candidates will answer:
- What will you do to make sure Americans can afford to live where they work?
- How would you make mortgages available to more credit-worthy borrowers?
- Is the home ownership rate too low, too high, or just right? Why?
- Why should taxpayers continue to subsidize luxury home purchases?
- How would you make tax-subsidized, low-cost rental housing permanent?
- How do we shrink Fannie and Freddie, and taxpayer risk, without hurting the housing market?
Regardless of who the next president is, they will have a lot on their plate when it comes to answering to home owners once they take office.
"The next president will inherit the lowest home ownership rate in 48 years, and so far the voters have heard little to nothing about what the candidates will do to boost people's chances of becoming home owners," Richardson says. "Candidates need to start discussing housing on the campaign trail now."

Composer Sir John Tavener has died at the age of 69.
The musician died at his home in Child Okeford, Dorset yesterday (November 12).
Tavener, who was signed to The Beatles' Apple label in the '60s, was one of the leading British composers of recent years.
Managing director of his publisher Chester Music James Rushton said: "His large body of work... is one of the most significant contributions to classical music in our times.
"For all of those fortunate enough to have known him, John was a man of strong beliefs, huge personal warmth, loyalty and humour. He will be much missed."
His breakthrough was 'The Whale', released on Apple in 1968. In 1997, Tavener's 'Song for Athene' was played at the funeral of Princess Diana.
A Clarence House spokesman said of Tavener's passing: "The Prince of Wales was saddened to hear of the death of John Tavener."
The composer's 'A New Beginning' saw in the new century in 1999 at London's Millennium Dome, and he was also famed for his setting of William Blake's poem 'The Lamb'.
Tavener suffered a stroke in 1979 and was later diagnosed with a hereditary condition, Marfan Syndrome, which can cause heart defects.
He had to spend six months in intensive care in 2007 after a heart attack, but defied the odds to return to work.
He was knighted in 2000, having previously been nominated for the Mercury Prize in 1992 and 1997.


text: House Approves Struzzi Resolution Supporting Whole Milk in Schools Jun. 27, 2019 HARRISBURG – Rep. Jim Struzzi (R-Indiana) today announced that the House of Representatives has voted unanimously to adopt his House Resolution 402, a resolution recognizing the health value of whole milk and supporting the reintroduction of whole milk to school menus. "Today's children are missing out on calcium and other key nutrients found in whole milk because they cannot get it in school," said Struzzi. "I hope this resolution will help compel the federal government to put whole milk back in our nation's schools, which will help our children get the nutrients they need for healthy growth. I also hope it will help to revitalize Pennsylvania's struggling dairy industry, which is a key part of Pennsylvania's economy." The resolution was filed in support of U.S. Congressman Glenn Thompson's federal legislation, which also supports the reintroduction of whole milk to school lunches. Whole milk was removed as an option via federal guideline revisions under the Obama administration in 2010. Whole milk would be added as an option in addition to the current low-fat or fat-free choices but would not replace them. Students will still have the option to choose either one.
