It's been an absolutely buzzing week in the new Kaltura Europe Head Office! First, we settled into our new space by furnishing it with sofas and desks…then we cleared them all to host our first London Video Meetup! This was the first of many video community Meetups we'll be organising, in fact, there will be a minimum of one every month.
The theme for the first Meetup was Social Video: "The Rise of Social Video: Using Facebook, Twitter and UGC to Attract and Engage". We lined up three excellent speakers, brought out the beer and pizza, and hoped we would have a nice group of people to share our experiences with.
As the number of attendees approached 100, we realised how valuable a video meetup was to people. I say 'people' because the audience was incredibly diverse. There were video makers, consumers, developers, service providers, editors…you name it, we had them attend! What was so great about the varied audience was the 360 degree view of the video ecosystem. The networking was incredible as everyone connected with someone new as a customer, provider, teacher or developer.
Our three speakers each focused on a different area: I covered why this is such a hot topic (and I will happily carry on the conversation @charlyplaying). Lindsey Kistler of YouView covered the connected TV space, including the future and development in this exciting area (you can carry on the conversation @lindseykistler), Jonny Freeman from i2 Media Research (who is a senior lecturer at Goldsmiths University) gave a gripping insight into the psychology of the social media user – if you don't know Jonny, you should! Everyone loved his presentation and there was a stack of jaw-dropping facts about the social media audience. You can find him @jonnyfreeman to find out more 🙂 Finally, Eddie Robins from Groovy Gecko demonstrated the draw of live video on Facebook…the numbers watching these live events were astounding – speak to @GroovyGecko for their demo links and details.
So, we are off to a flying start! See you at the next one?! We'll keep you posted here. Please visit our Facebook Group too.
As virtual events' full potential continues to unravel, they're more likely to become the new norm for events. But despite their many pluses, audience engagement continues to be a challenge for organizers. Interactive content may be just what they need, especially the kind created by participants before, during, or after the event.

Angels to become familiar with NL East in '14
New slate of games includes possible Trout-Harper matchup
TORONTO -- The 2014 season will see the Angels face off against the National League East, open up at home against the Mariners and finish with 19 games against American League West opponents.
Major League Baseball on Tuesday released its master schedule for next season, with Opening Day coming Monday, March 31, the All-Star Game at Target Field taking place Tuesday, July 15, and the regular-season finale occurring Sunday, Sept. 28. Game times are still undetermined, as are the two teams that will meet on the Sunday night that leads into Opening Day.
The Angels will host the Mets (April 11-13), Phillies (Aug. 12-13) and Marlins (Aug. 25-27), while traveling to Washington, D.C. (April 21-23), Philadelphia (May 13-14) and Atlanta (June 13-15). That Interleague slate will be of particular significance to Mike Trout, who grew up rooting for the Phillies -- while living about 45 miles away in South New Jersey -- and will get a chance to match up against Bryce Harper for the first time.
"It's going to be pretty cool to go back and get those two days that you don't get to be at the house and with the family; that's pretty cool," said Trout, who grew up a fan of Chase Utley and played in a couple of high school showcases at Citizens Bank Park. "It's a cool park. The fans are great.
"I've been to a couple games in the stadium as a fan," Trout added. "I'm curious how it's going to be playing. They love the Phillies. Every game I went to was pretty much sold out."
The annual four-game Freeway Series against the crosstown-rival Dodgers will take place Monday, Aug. 4, to Thursday, Aug. 7, with the first two at Dodger Stadium and the last two at Angel Stadium. It marks the latest the two teams have met since Interleague Play began in 1997.
The 162-game schedule includes 20 games of Interleague Play in addition to 76 against division rivals and 66 against non-divisional opponents.
Like this year, the Angels will play 19 games against each of their four AL West rivals (three road series and three home series against each opponent) while playing one home and road series against the 10 other AL clubs. Their season starts with a three-game home set against the Mariners, March 31 to April 2, and ends with a six-city trip through Oakland and Seattle, Sept. 22-28.
Below are other items of note regarding the Angels' 2014 schedule:
• As far as the NL East is concerned, the Angels will not be traveling to Miami or New York, and will not host the Braves or the Nationals. The Phillies are the only NL East team they will play at home and on the road, with two games at each venue.
• Just as in 2013, there will be no road trips pairing Houston with Arlington, meaning the Angels will be making six separate trips to Texas. At the start of September, they will go to Houston, then travel up to Minnesota and go to Arlington.
• The Angels do not visit Rangers Ballpark until July 10, by far the latest of any of their AL West foes.
• The Angels have previously made one other trip to Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia (2008), Nationals Park in Washington ('08) and Turner Field in Atlanta ('05).
• The Angels will have four three-city trips after having only two in 2013. They are: Detroit, Washington, New York (April 18-27); Seattle, Oakland, Houston (May 26-June 5); Arlington, Boston, Oakland (Aug. 15-24); and Houston, Minnesota, Arlington (Sept. 2-11).
• Weekend home series: Mets (April 11-13), Rangers (May 2-4), Rays (May 15-18), Royals (May 23-25), White Sox (June 6-8), Rangers (June 20-22), Astros (July 3-6), Mariners (July 18-20), Tigers (July 24-27), Red Sox (Aug. 8-10), Athletics (Aug. 28-31), Astros (Sept. 12-14), Rangers (Sept. 19-21).
• Off-days per month: April: 4, May: 3, June: 3, July: 5 (including 4 for the All-Star break), August: 2, September: 3.
• Most consecutive games without a day off: 17 (June 27 to July 13, Aug. 15-31)
• Road games per month: April: 15, May: 12, June: 15, July: 9, August: 15, September: 15.
• As far as non-AL West opponents are concerned, the Angels will play seven total games against the Indians, Rays, Twins, Blue Jays, Tigers and Red Sox; six against the Yankees, Royals, White Sox and Orioles.
• The first games of the 2014 regular season will take place in Sydney, Australia, where the Dodgers and D-backs will meet March 22 to 23 (a Saturday and Sunday).

PEKIN — People packed Tazewell County's largest courtroom last Thursday, until the traffic court judge spoke. Anyone wishing to plead guilty to using their cellphones while driving, "Go outside," he said.
With that, $10,200 walked out the door.
One by one, 85 people shuffled to a desk placed in the hallway, where they arranged to pay their $120 fine for violating the state's new law against using a cellphone while behind the wheel.
It was Pekin ticket day in the county's traffic court. City officers cited each one of those 85 people.
Pekin has solidly established itself as the county's strictest enforcer of the cellphone law.
As of Friday, city police had issued 494 cellphone tickets since the law took effect Jan. 1, an average of just fewer than 70 a month.
That is well more than half the 912 tickets issued so far throughout the county. Those numbers exclude the three tickets in Pekin and 108 county-wide for using phones in a school or construction zone.
"Two County Board members got ticketed" for cellphone use in Pekin, said Circuit Clerk Linc Hobson.
Although Peoria County has a larger population, only 370 citations had been issued in the county.
Christopher Leasor, a Peoria attorney who used to work in the traffic division of the Peoria County State's Attorney's Office, said the difference in the number of tickets written might be "a matter of allocating resources."
"In the smaller towns, you might have more ability to allocate resources to put an officer on the street to watch for cellphone usage than in the bigger cities where they have more to deal with," he said.
That is the case in Pekin, said Public Information Officer Mike Eeten on Friday. When other work is slow, Pekin patrol officers form teams at various locations to catch traffic violators — speeders, seat belt violators and, of course cellphone users — passing by, he said.
Leasor says smaller towns might issue more tickets to generate revenue, but "there are no (ticket) quotas" that drive the Pekin officers, Eeten said. No commander is ordering them to search specifically for cellphone scofflaws, and no message has come from City Hall to create a new city revenue source with the ticket fines, he said.
"It's officer discretion," Eeten said.
Steve Roegge, a special operations lieutenant with the Peoria Police Department, said he has encouraged his officers to cite people if they see them on the phone.
"It has been eight months and we should not be giving out warnings for people who are on their phones while driving," he said.
Chief Deputy Joe Needham of the Peoria County Sheriff's Office, noted that his officers also have discretion to issue a citation or warning to motorists. A rough estimate by his office indicated the county has issued 16 tickets since the beginning of the year.
Through last Thursday, the Pekin department had issued tickets that, assuming all were for first offenses, will produce $59,280 in total revenue. About $16,000 will be kept by the city. Tazewell County will take a cut of $13,634, with the remaining half of the revenue going to the state.
In Peoria County, it appears nearly all those cited either pleaded to that charge or to a different one. Those cellphone citations could generate a potential $44,400 in revenue, assuming that everyone paid the $120 fine. In some cases, people were charged with multiple offenses and the cellphone ticket was dropped as part of a deal with Peoria County prosecutors.
Pekin City Attorney Burt Dancey acknowledged the state cellphone law's language is broad enough to include as violations merely holding and looking at the face of the appliance to check who just called. That alone can be considered "use" of the phone, he said.
"The bottom line for (police) is we don't write the law, but we're tasked to enforce it," Eeten said.
He admitted that, as an officer, he's irked by other examples of so-called distracted driving he sees that go beyond putting a cellphone to one's ear.
"I've seen people driving down the road putting on makeup, shaving, reading a newspaper," he said. "You bet I'd like to ticket them," but those acts aren't illegal.
As for drivers in Pekin who still think they can spot waiting police officers and drop their cellphones on their laps before the cops spot them, Eeten had this message:
Don't bet $120 on it.
Pekin has issued 494 tickets for cellphone use while driving since Jan. 1
PEKIN — People packed Tazewell County's largest courtroom last Thursday, until the traffic court judge spoke. Anyone wishing to plead guilty to using their cellphones while driving, "Go outside," he said.

I'm a seasoned and award-winning agency creative — a passionate leader with a proven track record for translating complex ideas into slick, successful campaigns. I've managed and motivated interdisciplinary teams, both as official in-house go-to gal and A-list agency hotshot. I've built and managed brands from the ground up, worn every hat on the rack, and leapt tall buildings in a single bound. Don't let my clean lines and weakness for Swiss type fool you; this is all a plot for world domination, one brand at a time.
I've worked with some pretty cool brands, including Neiman Marcus, TIGI/Toni & Guy, Bergdorf Goodman, jcpenney, Michaels, Nationwide Insurance, D Magazine, GameStop, Dreamworks, Scholastic, Direct Energy, and Dr Pepper.
Key areas of experience include Creative Direction, Art Direction and Senior-Level Design in Print, Digital, User Experience and Usability, Identity, Branding, Brand Management, Photography and Photo Post-Production. I have also been known to write a few lines of killer copy from time to time, and I can rebuild a carburetor.
Yeah, so, I pretty much do everything. Next stop: tackling that whole space-time continuum deal.
Ugly branding makes the baby Jesus cry. I craft killer identities that help businesses connect with their audience. I specialize in business and brand consulting for fellow creatives -- artists, writers, and photographers -- because, let's face it, we're pretty cool people.
Gather 'round, kids, and let's talk about the old days when we had to learn how to use a letterpress machine. Like, not because we were hipsters, but because that's how shit got done. When "leading" meant actual pieces of lead between lines. And then we had to walk to the pre-press room. Barefoot. In the snow. Uphill, both ways.
I know, right?
Digital is my jam. From display ads to responsive, immersive interactive campaigns, I've concepted it, designed it, written for it, art directed it and loved every minute of it since there was no such thing as a digital agency to produce it for. In layman's terms, that means that I just plain "get" digital.
I guess it also means that I'm old.
I shoot mostly dogs, but also some other things, like people, places, and cars. I was recently named among the Best Pet Photographers in Dallas by CBS Local, and my work has been featured in a few places, on and offline (like Getty, maybe you've heard of it). If you are a person, place, thing or dog and you want me to take your picture, that can be arranged. You might enjoy my pet photography portfolio: studiofetch.com, or my Flickr page.
Want to say hi? Badass. There are a few ways to get in touch with me:
I am the founder/ceo, perfumer and official head witch at Sixteen92.
If you want me to take pictures for you (especially if dogs are involved), give me a shout via studiofetch.com.
You can also shoot an email to holla at vanityclaire .com if you want.
I don't tweet (twitter? twit?), but you can follow me on Instagram, Flickr and Pinterest, and I'm also on LinkedIn (because who isn't?).
And, if you're in Dallas, you can just try yelling really loud.

What Russell Westbrook injury means to OKC Thunder
- Westbrook was injured in the playoffs against Houston
- He had never missed any time in his career as a pro
The path to an NBA title just got a whole lot harder for the Oklahoma City Thunder — again.
More than five months after point guard Russell Westbrook tore the meniscus in his right knee at the start of the Thunder's playoff run, he had arthroscopic surgery on the same knee Tuesday morning and is expected to miss the first four to six weeks of the regular season that starts Oct. 30.
While Westbrook was not experiencing pain in the knee, swelling persisted and led to a trip to California on Monday to have the knee examined. As Thunder general manager Sam Presti detailed on a conference call with reporters, the medical group that recommended the latest procedure was different from the one from Vail, Colo., that did the initial surgery on Westbrook's meniscus.
During the arthroscopic surgery, a loose stitch was discovered that was the origin of the swelling. Presti, who deemed the loose stitch an "outlier," said the Thunder's team physicians "were present as observers" for the meniscus procedure and the arthroscopic surgery.
The good news for the Thunder — and there isn't much — is two-fold: It's better to solve this swelling mystery now rather than learn of the loose stitch midway through the season, and Presti said the doctors were also able determine during the Tuesday procedure that the meniscus is fully healed. But the bad news — and there is plenty — is that the Thunder were already losing their grip on their spot among the Western Conference elite.
After losing shooting guard/third-leading scorer Kevin Martin to the Minnesota Timberwolves via free agency over the summer, Kevin Durant's load now will be even heavier than it was during the Westbrook-less playoff run in which Oklahoma City fell to the Memphis Grizzlies in five games during the second round. Third-year point guard Reggie Jackson will likely start in Westbrook's spot, though the Thunder re-signed veteran point guard Derek Fisher as well. Second-year shooting guard Jeremy Lamb, by default, is an even more vital piece of this puzzle than before despite the fact that he has just 23 games of NBA experience.
Presti took the optimistic route during his conference call, addressing the many questions that surround their latest setback.
On the silver-lining regarding the meniscus: "We're very, very encouraged to be able to say that the meniscus itself is healed, and healed as well as could have been expected," Presti said.
On why they did the arthroscopic procedure now: "We thought it was important to identify the source of the swelling as well because we didn't want to be in a position where we're faced with this decision in an on-again, off-again situation as the season progressed," Presti said.
On the current mind-set for Westbrook, who had never missed a game in high school, college, or nearly five seasons in the NBA before the meniscus injury: "He's a very, very smart guy," Presti said. "He understands that, although there's some loss of time here — a small amount from what was initially forecasted — what was gained was a tremendous amount of confidence in the healing of the knee. … I think he understands that this bodes well for him, not only for this season but with the foreseeable future with the Thunder."
On who will fill his role at the point guard spot: "I think that's something that has to be determined by the coaching staff," Presti said. "As we talked about before, we've been in this situation unfortunately where we've had to play without him in the past. I think that we'll be more prepared, knowing a lot more about our team and some of the players who were able to perform at the time that we were dealing with this particular situation in the past."
On the long-term outlook for Westbrook and the Thunder: "I think that over time, as we work through this period, when Russell does come back and joins us, A) he'll be as good as ever, and B) I believe that the team will be better than the one he last played with, based on the fact that they're going to have to play through some situation that are not necessarily the way that we expected them," Presti said. "I've got a lot of confidence in our staff and in our players to make those adjustments."

QNAP TS-870U-RP NAS Server Review
Manufacturer: QNAP Systems, Inc.
Full disclosure: The product used in this review was supplied by QNAP Systems
There's a new Ethernet in town; its called 10GbE, and its blazing fast. Benchmark Reviews gave you the inside scoop on the newest 10GbE networking hardware recently, with our review of the NETGEAR XS708E ProSAFE Plus Switch. In that article I mentioned that the first thing I did when I unboxed the switch was to hook it up a 10GbE-capable NAS. Plain old Gigabit Ethernet has been holding back the performance of mid-range NAS devices for a while now. Almost every modern 4-bay NAS has the capability to overwhelm the bandwidth of that one Gigabit pipe, that has been the de-facto standard for networking since the beginning of the new Millennium. The major players in the NAS market know this, and for several years now their high-end models have been designed to accept 10GbE NICs. With 10GbE starting to enter the mainstream, QNAP is now working on making their 10GbE-capable products more affordable.
The QNAP TS-870U-RP Turbo NAS is part of a new model line that trades off some internal processing power and a couple of build features in order to lower the cost of entry for a 10GbE NAS. It's just the first step in what I can only imagine will be a continuing drive to push 10GbE further down into the product line, so we're still talking about a business-class NAS server here. With eight 3.5" drive bays available, there is a potential for 32TB of storage; this is for people who have serious data appetites and deep pockets. The cost to fill this unit up with 4TB HDDs is enough to give some people pause, but for most SMB owners, it's the cost of doing business.
The TS-870U-RP is aimed a little higher than the typical small business needs, both by virtue of its size and its form factor. If both capacity and redundancy are needed, RAID 5 is a minimum. If you want to go to RAID 6 or RAID 10, you need a minimum of four disks, with two spindles completely occupied by providing multiple levels of redundancy for your data. A four-bay device is really the bare minimum for a high availability NAS appliance, and you're left with only two drive bays worth of storage capacity. That's not enough for many businesses. As far as the form factor goes, 90% of the networking, storage and server hardware in use by SMBs today is designed to be rack mounted, and that figure's going to be 100% at the enterprise level.
The TS-870U-RP NAS server is a couple steps up from a typical four or six-bay device. While it's not the biggest NAS device QNAP offers (that's the TS-1679U-RP, a 16-bay unit), it's got enough storage space and enough CPU horsepower to do the job. It also has the option to use multiple 10GbE network interfaces, and that feature makes a huge difference in real-world performance. Even a single Seagate Barracuda 3TB Hard Drive ST3000DM001 can push 160MB/s through its SATA 6Gb/s interface. That's about 25% more data throughput than a standard 1000BASE-T network is capable of handling. That's just a single mechanical hard drive; think about what eight SSDs in RAID 5 can do! QNAP has, and they've demonstrated read and write speeds well over 1500MB/s with this model. Those are insane speeds for most of us, but its mighty good news for any room full of CADD designers or video editors.
Benchmark Reviews has tested quite a few NAS products, ranging from the QNAP TS-119 NAS single-disk offering made for home users, to the Goliath QNAP TS-879U-RP 8-Bay NAS for the storage needs of large businesses. We've also tested the Thecus N5550 NAS server recently, which falls in the middle between those two extremes. Let's see how this 8-bay NAS compares to its competitors.

On Wednesday, we posted information about the bicycle accident involving Ray Deter, who owns d.b.a. on First Avenue as well as the locations in Williamsburg and New Orleans. He has been in critical condition since the accident. His wife, Catherine, just updated the d.b.a. Brooklyn Facebook page with this note:
"Thanks so much for everyone's kind words and support for me and the boys....Ray will no longer be with us after this weekend, but we hope our loss will give life to others. Please celebrate Ray as he passes on. Love to you all, Catherine, Jake & Maxwell"
More information will be posted at a later date regarding funeral arrangements.

Recently, Iran has been expelling al Qaeda officials who holed up there for years. Bin Laden's son-in-law, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, is only the latest example.
U.S. officials and terrorism experts tell the Washington Post that these expulsions suggest growing tension between Iran's Shiite clerics and al Qaeda's Sunni terrorists. Yet officials and experts also believe that Iran still permits al Qaeda to use Iranian territory as a transit route to and from Afghanistan.
There was a time when foreign policy "realists" doubted that Iran would cooperate with al Qaeda, and vice versa, given the Shiite-Sunni divide. This view — akin to believing that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union would never form an alliance — was badly misguided.
But the Nazi-Soviet alliance didn't hold because their underlying interests were sharply divergent. Obviously, the underlying interests of Iran and al Qaeda also diverge.
The divergence currently manifests itself in Syria. Iran supports the current regime, while al Qaeda linked groups attempt to overthrow it.
Our friends the foreign policy "realists," along with Paulist exponents of "blowback" theory, might argue that the Iran-al Qaeda rift is related to the diminishing U.S. presence in the region. It's a plausible argument. One would expect Iran and al Qaeda to have closer relations when their common enemy is a force immediately to be reckoned with. As the U.S. becomes less so, the alliance of convenience becomes less convenient.
This doesn't mean that the U.S. should become less of a force. Sunni and Shia militants cannot be expected to cancel each other out, at least not in ways that benefit our national security and the stability of the region. Think of Iran and Saddam Hussein's Iraq by way of illustration. In a sense, they had reached a stalemate. But both both could (and did) harbor and/or support their own sets of terrorists. And both posed independent threats to Israel (Iran especially), to Middle East stability, and (in my opinion) to U.S. interests.
Ten years on, with the U.S. largely defanged in the region, we can expect Iran and its allies to prevail or have major influence in some parts of the Middle East and radical Sunni Islamists to prevail or have major influence in others. In both scenarios, the outcome will be adverse to our interests.
This doesn't mean the U.S. should intervene in this or that conflict. At this juncture, I lean against U.S. involvement in Syria, for example. My point is that we should take no comfort from growing tension between Iran and its proxies on the one hand and radical Sunni Islamists on the other.

Support for Members and Providers affected by Oregon wildfires
Support for health plan members and Medicare beneficiaries impacted by COVID-19 ›
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Advisory: Please help us limit exposure. Learn more about COVID-19 and where to go if you have concerns.
As a pregnant woman, you have options. You can see an obstetrician, a family medicine doctor or a midwife for pregnancy care. Sometimes, you may see a combination. So, how do you decide which choice is right for you?
Lisa Chickadonz, a nurse-midwife with Providence Maternal Care Clinic, is a great source of perspective on the midwife experience. She sees midwifery as a way to empower women during pregnancy, and as a means to help them experience birth as a normal, physiological process. "Many things in pregnancy and labor cannot be predicted or controlled, but a birth in which a woman's wishes are respected, and in which she can avoid interventions she doesn't want, is always a goal worth working toward," says Chickadonz.
Over the past 25 years, Chickadonz has attended at almost 2,000 births. With each woman, she says, her focus is on the health of the mother and baby, and on the quality of the family's experience from the first trimester through delivery – and sometimes, beyond (midwives see women for annual exams and other women's health concerns, as well).
Women typically choose midwifery because they seek greater education and support during pregnancy, as well as greater involvement in decision-making. The midwives at the clinic try to give each expectant mom more time during visits than she might get with an OB/GYN, and they put greater emphasis on answering questions and providing information. They offer advice on nutrition and exercise, and they help women cope with symptoms common in pregnancy, such as back pain and heartburn. Just like a physician, a midwife screens for complications, checks the fetal heartbeat, and also makes sure the fetus is growing and developing as it should be. The midwife's job, says Chickadonz, is to help a woman understand the changes that come with pregnancy, and to offer reassurance throughout.
"I'm very interested in women's health, and believe that if we give women tools, education and support, we can improve health and reduce the need for medical interventions that women may prefer not to have," Chickadonz says. "For women who come to our clinic, there's a mutual understanding that they're not going to get things that they don't want and that aren't necessary."
Don't mistake Chickadonz, however, for someone who's down on the medical establishment. To the contrary, Chickadonz and the other midwives in her clinic are part of an integrated system that allows women to move smoothly to a higher level of care if complications develop.
"We have a team model of care that includes several OB/GYNs, but the practice itself is run by nurse-midwives," says Chickadonz. The midwives do all of the prenatal care and all of the deliveries for healthy women who aren't in need of interventions. For pregnant women who have moderate risk factors, the midwives and physicians work closely together. And for those who may have greater medical needs due to complications, the OB/GYN will monitor and treat those complications while the midwife continues to be an integral part of the care team. "The training and practice of OB/GYNs focuses more on high-risk pregnancies and surgical deliveries," she says. "In our practice, we believe in collaboration that makes the best use of each team member's skills to give the best care for each individual woman."
Women also come to midwives for the promise of having a midwife present during labor. For midwives from Providence Maternal Care Clinic, being present during a woman's labor is a commitment they make to each family in their care. And that, says Chickadonz, makes a huge difference in their experience.
"I'm there, watching over their safety, and the safety of their baby," she says. "If a woman or her partner has questions or concerns, they can ask me directly. It's not a difference in the quality of care – it's a difference in the experience of care."
At the clinic, the mom-to-be is encouraged to meet all of the midwives during her pregnancy, so when she goes into labor, she'll feel comfortable with whichever midwife is on call that day. The midwives at the clinic work 24-hour shifts, meaning they typically are able to be with a woman from the start of labor through delivery, and are even able, in some cases, to participate in the postpartum care of both mom and baby.
Midwives believe that, as a healthy pregnant woman, you don't need to be hooked to a machine to safely monitor your baby in childbirth, as this can be done while you are mobile; you don't have to be connected to an IV; you don't necessarily need anesthesia (an epidural); and you don't need to be in a bed, lying down. But if a healthy pregnant woman wants or needs any of those things, Chickadonz says, her nurse-midwife will help her get them.
"Our general orientation is to use less medication in pregnancy and labor, because whatever you give the mom also goes to the baby," says Chickadonz. She notes that instead of narcotics, an expectant mother may be offered alternatives such as massage and acupressure. If a woman reaches her pain threshold, however, Chickadonz makes no judgments about a woman getting an epidural. "All tools are available to us, and all have appropriate uses," she says. "We want women to be aware of their options and to let us know what their preferences are so that we can provide care that is tailored to who they are as individuals."
The ideal outcome is one in which the mom is able to have the birth experience she wants, and most importantly, one in which both mom and baby are healthy. But it's not always perfect or predictable – facilitating and giving birth – and sometimes, interventions are necessary.
"Just because you come to a midwife, that doesn't mean you won't need a C-section," says Chickadonz. If a woman does need a C-section, the nurse-midwife stays with her and serves as the first assistant during the surgery; the woman never leaves the care of the midwife. "It's important – especially in the case of an unexpected C-section – that the woman not feel like she's being abandoned to an unfamiliar provider."
Safety, she adds, is the No. 1 priority. "That's why people come to a professional – they want to emerge from the experience with the mom and baby in the best possible shape. There are a lot of variations on how that can happen. We are very strong advocates of evidence-based practice, so there's both an art and a science to what we do."
The midwives at Providence Maternal Care Clinic have delivered more than 6,000 children in the past 20 years. All of the clinic's midwives are committed to the health of the mom and the baby, and to delivering a memorable, safe and respectful birthing experience for the parents.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, call Providence Maternal Care Clinic at 503-215-6262.

The Centre for Program Evaluation at the University of Melbourne is developing a framework that will help school leaders and teachers make decisions about professional learning needs, in relation to improving teaching practice.
Australia's largest education focused event – the National FutureSchools Expo - is coming to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre over 23 – 24 March 2017.
If you need to register as an early childhood teacher, it's important you apply for registration as soon as possible.
The VIT Council is very pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Corcoran as our new Chief Executive Officer.
Australia's largest education focused event – the National FutureSchools Expo - is coming to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre over 23 – 24 March 2017.
On World Teachers' Day, 28 October, the annual Victorian Education Excellence Awards were presented by Minister for Education James Merlino to a group of truly deserving teachers and schools. VIT CEO Melanie Saba was on the judging panel for these awards, which celebrate the life-changing work of education professionals in government schools.
Part of VIT's role is to investigate the conduct, competence and fitness to teach of registered teachers, and whether a registered teacher's ability to practice as a teacher or early childhood teacher is seriously affected because of an impairment.
If you're due for a National Police History Check as part of your annual registration, we have some good news!
Casual relief or emergency teachers (CRTs) undertake approximately 10-15% of a learner's education. Many of Victoria's beginning teachers are working as CRTs; this can limit their opportunities to undertake an inquiry into their practice in order to move to (full) registration.
A report released recently by the Teachers Registration Board (TRB) of South Australia examined professional learning activities undertaken by teachers in South Australia.

They are soft and very comfortable with a little bit of stretch that makes them comfortable to wear, but doesn't stretch out of shape. The classic shape and colors let me wear them with jeans for a casual look or with a skirt or dressier pants for work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Joyce R from Best pima tees available As always, these pima (all-cotton) crewneck tops are well made and hold up well. I wash then in cold water, delicate cycle, and use a drying rack rather than a dryer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bobbie from Very long sleeves on petite shirt. This tee shirt is very nice but the sleeves on the petite shirt are way too long and I have to shorten them.

WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STYLE #54158658 AND #p173013401? BOTH ARE DESCRIBED AS 100% PIMA COTTON LONG SLEEVE CREW NECK TEE.
There is no difference between the tees. The style number is P173013401 but once you select the color and size, the number is converted.

Hello, do you not have these in the pastel, spring colors anymore?
We only have the basic colors at this time in the long sleeve. We will have more colors introduced in the Fall. Our Bateau neck tee has 3/4 sleeves and comes in an assortment of colors, item P201013691.
Date published: 2020-07-19
Does this tee shrink much after washing and drying? I am so tired of line drying everything.
The item is 100% cotton and could have shrinkage depending on the heat setting.
Date published: 2020-06-29
Is this a true crew neck or scoop?
This is a crew neck, however, the style of crew is not close to the neck as some basic tee's. A scoop neck would be lower below the collar bone than this style. Our Pima Crewneck tee in short sleeves sits higher on the neck, item P192013695.

I, for one, do not wear "orange-reds." Could Talbot's include true reds/blue reds in collections? I have one sweater set in an orange red I should not have purchased. It always goes to the back of my closet. Most requested are Tee's
Thank you for your feedback. We have submitted your request to our merchandising team to take into consideration when selecting colors in the future especially with our tee's.

Is there spandex in this shirt?
EmEl just clearing the answer Talbots gave. I understand your idea of Spandex. But Talbots didn't really answer correctly. Talbots should have answered 100% "Pima" Cotton. Big diff between 100% Pima Cotton and 100% Cotton. The question was about spandex. I get that. But Talbots answer was incorrect on their "100% Cotton" when indeed the shirt is Pima. I was also just giving my personal opinion about how I feel about 100% Pima Cotton and 100% cotton. Thanks for your history lesson on cotton. The answer would be no there is no spandex and the shirt is 100% Pima Cotton. Crew neck on the shirt is really not correct either. Crew necks come up higher in my opinion than this shirt. I like higher or I would order jewel neck.

Do they run small. Are they roomie
The long sleeve crewneck tees are true to size. We recommend locating your size on the Talbots Size Chart from your actual body measurements. To see the chart, scroll to the bottom of the Talbots Web site. Under CUSTOMER SERVICE select SIZE CHART. By following this chart, the garment will fit as you see it on the model. If you prefer your tees to fit looser or closer, please size up or down.

Today is a very special day – Dominic and Julian turn 4 years old. I've always loved birthdays. They are a time of celebration and reflection… a time to honor accomplishments and appreciate life.
This birthday is no different… But it feels different. For the first time, as I reflect on Dominic and Julian's four years of life, swells of emotions are rising in my chest. Tears as sharp as glass are forming in my eyes. I am overwhelmed with such an abundance of feelings, my heart could burst.
So I decided to write a letter.
My Sweet Boys,
Today is your 4th birthday. And I want to let you know how proud I am of you. You have overcome so many obstacles during your short time on this earth. From being 6 weeks premature, to fighting serious infections… from staying months in hospitals, to visiting countless doctors. You've endured so much, and still manage to smile, laugh, and love each day. I will forever be in awe of your strength and courage.
To Dominic,
They say the best things come in small packages. You are the tiniest, most wonderful gift I could ever receive. You brighten up the room with your mischievous smile and bold laugh.
My heart aches reflecting on how many battles you've had to fight… How many times the doctors told me, "We just don't know if he's going to make it." But that heartache quickly turns to feelings of joy and elation because you're still here.
There are so many things I love about you. Your confidence and assertiveness is often surprising. You can have a whole conversation with only 5 real words… but that doesn't stop you from speaking your mind. And those attributes can only be matched by your compassion to uplift those around you. I love how you cheer on your older brothers at their games. And you always make sure Julian is well taken care of. You are such a gift to our family.
To Julian (my youngest baby),
You are the sweetest, most precious gift a mother could ask for. Your innocent smile and doe eyes melt my heart every single day. You have taught me so many life lessons during these past 4 years. You've touched my heart in ways I didn't know were possible.
I've always had a saying about you: "Julian will not be rushed." You've always done things on your own time. During your first week in the NICU, the doctors were worried because you wouldn't breathe on your own. But as I've gotten to know you, I think you were probably just relaxing. You just got here; You weren't ready to do everything yet. I can understand that.
The same was true with crawling, walking, eating, and now talking. You've never been concerned with predetermined 'milestones.' You got to them when you were ready. Why stress? You taught me that life isn't a race, it's a journey. And I'm so happy I get to share it with you.
Happy birthday, Dominic and Julian. You are my heroes.

A broadband punter from New Zealand has been offered the chance to fly to the edge of space after winning a competition run by Kiwi ISP Xtra.
Sharyl Innes, a community mental health nurse, scooped top prize after entering the compo earlier this year.
The trip to the edge of space includes a trip for three to Moscow, five-star accommodation, sightseeing, and "a breathtaking view of the curvature of the earth" from on board a MIG 25 at 82,000 feet.
And while she's up there she could try and catch a glimpse of that dodgy Sky satellite that conked out last week leaving thousands of viewers in New Zealand and Australia without access to SkyTV.
If Sharyl doesn't fancy the trip to space, she could also opt for a hot air ballooning adventure around the North Pole or a private island escape in the Maldives. ®

Interfacing with I2C Devices
This page is meant to provide some basic information about how to interface with I²C devices through the /dev/i2c interface. The I²C bus is commonly used to connect relatively low-speed sensors and other peripherals to equipment varying in complexity from a simple microcontroller to a full-on motherboard. I²C is extremely popular due to its ease-of-use and ability to control multiple peripherals while utilizing only two pins on the host controller. Although I2C has a variety of modes, this page will deal purely with communication between a Linux-based master and a slave peripheral for the time being.
Note: Examples shown on this page were developed based on a Texas Instruments BeagleBoard and some changes will be required depending on the system being utilized.
Beagleboard I2C2 Enable
The TI BeagleBoard has 3 I²C buses available, which control a variety of on-board peripherals, including the DVI display driver and power sequencing. As bus 2 is by far the easiest to connect to due to its presence on the 0.1" spaced expansion header, it is assumed the user will be controlling that bus for the purposes of this example. However, by default bus 2 is disabled due to a lack of pull-up resistors on the board, so external pull-ups to 1.8V must be added and the kernel recompiled to enable i2c2.
See BeagleBoard#Linux_kernel and BeagleBoardLinuxKernel for details on how to recompile your Linux kernel. To enable i2c2 specifically during that process, enable the setting during the "make menuconfig" step.
I2C2 is pinned out as pins 23 (SDA) and 24 (SCL) on the expansion header.
Basic Communication with the AD7991 ADC
The AD7991 has four inputs as well as the ability to use one of the input pins as a reference voltage the other inputs are measured against. If that input is not used as the reference voltage, it uses the supply voltage as the reference voltage. Because the AD7991 is 12-bit device, its outputs ranges linearly from 0 to 4096 as the voltage ranges from 0 to the reference voltage.
void sensors_ADC_init(void) { int file; char filename[40]; const gchar *buffer; int addr = 0b00101001; // The I2C address of the ADC sprintf(filename,"/dev/i2c-2"); if ((file = open(filename,O_RDWR)) < 0) { printf("Failed to open the bus."); /* ERROR HANDLING; you can check errno to see what went wrong */ exit(1); } if (ioctl(file,I2C_SLAVE,addr) < 0) { printf("Failed to acquire bus access and/or talk to slave.\n"); /* ERROR HANDLING; you can check errno to see what went wrong */ exit(1); } unsigned char reg = 0x10; /* Device register to access */ char buf[10] = {0}; float data; char channel; // Using I2C Write, equivalent of i2c_smbus_write_word_data(file,register,0x6543) buf[0] = reg; for(int i = 0; i<4; i++) { // Using I2C Read if (read(file,buf,2) != 2) { /* ERROR HANDLING: i2c transaction failed */ printf("Failed to read from the i2c bus.\n"); buffer = g_strerror(errno); printf(buffer); printf("\n"); printf("\n"); } else { data = (float)((buf[0] & 0b00001111)<<8)+buf[1]; data = data/4096*5; channel = ((buf[0] & 0b00110000)>>4); printf("Channel %02d Data: %04f\n",channel,data); } } }

Forecasts of Tropical Convection, Wind, and SST Pentads using a Coupled Linear Inverse Model (C-LIM)
(Experimental NOAA/ESRL PSL and CIRES/CDC Forecast)
C-LIM VERSION 2.0: Now with 1) 200 and 850 mb winds (including vertical shear), 2) 5-day running means, 3) finer (2 degree) latitude resolution.
Forecasts and verifications:
- Pentads 1-6
- Pentads 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42
- Separation of tropical anomalies into coupled and uncoupled fields, 1982-present
- How we make these Tropical forecasts
Current initialization and a few selected forecast anomalies of OLR (W/m2), winds (m/s), and SST (oC):
One key benefit of the C-LIM is that the eigenvectors of its
dynamical evolution operator separate into two distinct, but
nonorthogonal, subspaces: one governing the nearly uncoupled
subseasonal dynamics, and the other governing the strongly coupled
longer term dynamics. This results in a dynamically-based filter
that, unlike bandpass or EOF-based filtering, can distinguish
between variability having similar spatial structures but very
different time scales due to differences between coupled air-sea
and internal atmospheric dynamics. We project the tropical data
onto these two subspaces, producing a real-time clean split of
OLR, wind, and SST anomalies into subseasonal variations including the MJO
("internal"), and longer term variations including ENSO
("coupled"). Hovmullers of the filtered datasets are updated
daily; also available is an atlas of the C-LIM filtered data going
back to 1982.
For a full description of the C-LIM methodology and a detailed analysis of the previous C-LIM version (v1.0), see:
Standard disclaimer: these forecasts are experimental. NOAA/PSL and CIRES/CDC are not responsible for any loss occasioned by the use of these forecasts.

Hey everybody I'm new on here, and I just wanted to share some information in hopes that maybe we can make a community push to add a few new weapon/movests to Samurai Warriors 4-2 as DLC that is, if it's not too late...I figure like all corporations that aim to make money, as long as the fans demand it, they'd be obliged to supply it. So here I go....
I've been a fan of the Samurai/Dynasty Warriors series since their individual inceptions but In Samurai Warriors 4-2 I noticed (even when I bought the DLC weapons) that there was a lack of unique weapons available (besides the main characters) to the Create-A-Warrior characters.
So there's a sword called a KEN/TSURUGI that I found that existed in ancient Japan. It was like a Japanese broadsword that was used with one and both hands and looked like this:MY TSURUGI.jpg
It was a cut-and-thrust sword used deliver accurate cuts and primarily thrusts.
If anyone's familiar with the anime Inuyasha, there's 3 different Tsurugi/Ken references made that will give you further details on it's look here are the examples:
1.) It's the sword that Sesshomaru uses named "Tokijin"
2.) Kikyo's clone used one on "Inuyasha the Movie 4: Fire on Mystic Island".
3.) Kaguya the "Celestial Shrine Maiden" on "Inuyasha the Movie 2: Castle Beyond the Looking Glass".
So guys, I'm asking for help. How do we collectively work together to get weapons/movesets added in the game as DLC??? What steps would I have to take in order to get this done? I really would like to do this guys so any help would be great.

Named scholarships
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, The University of Akron is pleased for the opportunity each year to assist talented, deserving students achieve their dreams, thanks to more than 1,300 named scholarships established through the kindness and generosity of thousands of UA alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations.
Scholarships truly are the best way to ensure that today's students persist to graduation. Scholarships allow students to enroll full time and remain focused on their studies; they also reduce drop-out rates, decrease the stress of student loans, and shorten the road to graduation.
The need for scholarships grows each year, however, as students continue to face an increased financial burden in pursuit of a college degree. In fact, 94 percent of today's baccalaureate students borrow to pay for college – versus just 45 percent in 1993. Across the country, the average college-related debt for borrowers in the class of 2016 was $37,172; for Ohio students, that figure was $30,239.
If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to the MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND MOVING FORWARD scholarship campaign, which is the University's most important initiative. You may also establish a named scholarship at The University of Akron, which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.
To learn more, please contact the Department of Development at 330-972-7238.
How do I apply for a scholarship?
This is not the page to apply for scholarships.
Students who want to apply for scholarships should visit the scholarship page on the Financial Aid site.
The Department of Development does not accept applications for or distribute scholarships. Scholarships are distributed through the University's Office of Student Financial Aid.
