Abnormal Brain Connections Linked to Autism
Researchers believe they have uncovered evidence of disorganized brain connections among people with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).
Investigators used a new form of brain imaging technology to provide visual evidence associating autism with disordered brain connections, including defects in nerve conduction.
The problem in signal conduction stems from flaws in myelin — the fatty, insulating coating that helps nerve fibers conduct signals and that makes up the brain's white matter.
Researchers say that genetic and cell studies provided clues that suggested abnormalities in how brain cells (neurons) connect to each other influence the development of ASDs.
The investigators used advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to image the brains of 40 patients (infants to age 25) with tuberous sclerosis complex and 29 age-matched, healthy controls.
Tuberous sclerosis is a rare genetic condition often associated with cognitive and behavioral deficits, including ASDs about 50 percent of the time.
"Patients with tuberous sclerosis can be diagnosed at birth or potentially before birth, because of cardiac tumors that are visible on ultrasound, giving us the opportunity to understand the circuitry of the brain at an early age," explains Mustafa Sahin, M.D., Ph.D. from Children's Hospital Boston and a co-author of the study.
"Our ultimate goal is to use imaging in infancy to find which tuberous sclerosis patients are at high risk for autism so we can intervene early. This may have implications for autism in patients without tuberous sclerosis as well."
The team used a relatively new MRI technique called diffusion tensor imaging to trace the pathways of nerve fibers by measuring the diffusion of water in the brain.
Researchers followed 40 patients with tuberous sclerosis; 24 had clinically significant developmental delays or intellectual disability, and 12 had ASDs. ASDs were diagnosed clinically by a pediatric neurologist, and, in most cases, by the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS).
In general, compared with controls, patients with tuberous sclerosis had findings consistent with abnormalities in the white matter (which is partly made up of myelin). Patients with both tuberous sclerosis and ASDs had both disorganized nerve pathways and nerve conduction problems.
The images showed that axons (nerves) in the control subjects followed well-defined directions in organized bundles, while the ASD patients' axons tended not to orient together in common directions.
Tuberous sclerosis patients without ASDs showed only slight disorganization compared to controls.
"This study shows that we can use diffusion tensor imaging to differentiate tuberous patients with autism from those without autism," said Sahin.
"Our advances in imaging and in image analysis are enabling us to identify and quantitatively characterize alterations in brain development that are not readily visible in conventional imaging," said Warfield.
"Ultimately, imaging will play a crucial role in identifying who may benefit from treatment, and in seeing the changes in the brain in response to treatment."

Brain Stimulation During Sleep May Help Memory
Memory impairment can be a devastating disorder that limits the ability to have a normal everyday life. The inability to retrieve memory is especially devastating for those with neurological conditions.
Since sleep is known to be a time when the brain stores and consolidates information a person learned during the day, new research investigated the benefits of using transcranial alternating current stimulation, or tACS, to target a specific kind of brain activity during sleep and strengthen memory.
University of North Carolina School of Medicine researchers believe the intervention can offer a non-invasive method to potentially help millions of people with conditions such as autism, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder.
Their findings appear in the journal Current Biology.
Sleep research has been ongoing for several decades. Scientist have learned that electrical brain activity oscillates or alternates during sleep with the action presenting as waves on an electroencephalogram (EEG). These waves are called sleep spindles, and scientists have suspected their involvement in cataloging and storing memories as we sleep.
"But we didn't know if sleep spindles enable or even cause memories to be stored and consolidated," said senior author Flavio Frohlich, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychiatry and member of the University of North Carolina School Neuroscience Center.
"They could've been merely byproducts of other brain processes that enabled what we learn to be stored as a memory. But our study shows that, indeed, the spindles are crucial for the process of creating memories we need for every-day life. And we can target them to enhance memory."
This marks the first time a research group has reported selectively targeting sleep spindles without also increasing other natural electrical brain activity during sleep. This has never been accomplished with tDCS — transcranial direct current stimulation — the much more popular cousin of tACS in which a constant stream of weak electrical current is applied to the scalp.
During Frohlich's study, 16 male participants underwent a screening night of sleep before completing two nights of sleep for the study.
Before going to sleep each night, all participants performed two common memory exercises — associative word-pairing tests and motor sequence tapping tasks, which involved repeatedly finger-tapping a specific sequence.
During both study nights, each participant had electrodes placed at specific spots on their scalps. During sleep one of the nights, each person received tACS — an alternating current of weak electricity synchronized with the brain's natural sleep spindles. During sleep the other night, each person received sham stimulation as placebo.
Each morning, researchers had participants perform the same standard memory tests. Frohlich's team found no improvement in test scores for associative word-pairing but a significant improvement in the motor tasks when comparing the results between the stimulation and placebo night.
"This demonstrated a direct causal link between the electric activity pattern of sleep spindles and the process of motor memory consolidation." Frohlich said.
Caroline Lustenberger, Ph.D., first author and postdoctoral fellow in the Frohlich lab, said, "We're excited about this because we know sleep spindles, along with memory formation, are impaired in a number of disorders, such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's.
We hope that targeting these sleep spindles could be a new type of treatment for memory impairment and cognitive deficits."
Frohlich said, "The next step is to try the same intervention, the same type of non-invasive brain stimulation, in patients that have known deficits in these spindle activity patterns."
Frohlich's team previously used tACS to target the brain's natural alpha oscillations to boost creativity. This was a proof of concept.
It showed it was possible to target these particular brain waves, which are prominent as we create ideas, daydream, or meditate. These waves are impaired in people with neurological and psychiatric illnesses, including depression.

Some Chinese sorghum importers have asked the Chinese authorities to waive the hefty anti-dumping deposit imposed last week on US imports already at sea, as companies rushed to sell stranded China-bound cargoes that were on the water at big discounts. China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) slapped a 178.6 percent deposit starting from April 18 on imports of sorghum from the US in a trade row between the world's two biggest economies. Sorghum is a grain used in animal feed and to make liquor…Full Article: The Global Times Apr 2018
Key Point
- One Chinese company appealed to the government to only impose the deposit penalty on US sorghum loaded after April 18th in order to safeguard shipments already out to sea. In addition, a consortium of Chinese companies met with officials from China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) to discuss sorghum concessions.
ChinaAg Comments
- Starting on 18 April 2018, US sorghum exporters would have to pay 178.6% deposit on China-bound shipments after preliminary investigation by China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) found that the USA was dumping sorghum. In the wake of the announcement, at least three US sorghum shipments bound for China were re-purchased by Saudi Arabia.
- In February 2018, China launched anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations into US sorghum after the US imposed (January 2018) additional tariffs on washing machines and solar panels. China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) will carry out two investigations relating to sorghum. The first will examine possible US sorghum dumping that occurred from November 2016 to October 2017. The second will encompass imports that occurred from January 2013 to October 2017 in order to determine the negative impact imports had on China's sorghum industry. The investigations should be finished by February 2019, but could extend to August 2019. During the same month, China's Commerce Ministry announced it had removed anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on US white-feathered broiler chickens, though a bird flu-based import ban still remained in place.
- In 2017, China imported 4.76 million MTs of sorghum from the USA.
- In December 2017, mainland China lowered import tariffs for 187 tariff codes. These tariff codes included frozen Atlantic salmon and huchen (i.e. freshwater salmon) which were reduced from 10% to 5%, while tariffs for live/fresh/chilled rock shrimp and lobsters were reduced from 15% to 5%. Other tariff reductions include powdered or processed cheese (12% to 8%), dry coconuts (12% to 7%), fresh or dry unpeeled Brazil nuts (10 % to 7%), fresh or dry unpeeled cashews (20% to 7%), hydrolyzed milk protein formula (20% to 0%), amino acid formula (20% to 0%), lactose-free infant formula (20% to 0%), whisky (10% to 5%), in-shell macadamias (24% to 12%), pecans (24% to 7%), avocados (25% to 7%), dried cranberries (25% to 15%), meat sausages (15% to 8%), blue cheese (15% to 8%), and mineral water (20% to 10%).
- In May 2017, China increased its outside tariff-rate quota (TRQ) on sugar. Prior to this, China had a 15% basic duty rate for up to 1.94 million MTs of imported sugar and an outside TRQ of 50%. The TRQ was designed to balance out the price difference between domestic and internationally traded sugar. For instance, in January 2014, the price gap between Chinese sugar in Kunming, Yunnan Province, and US sugar (ICE futures, export prices) was approximately USD 391 per MT. Unfortunately, this price gap has since expanded to roughly USD 664 per MT (as of June 2017). Recognizing that foreign sugar was more than 50% cheaper than domestically produced sugar, the Chinese government increased its outside TRQ to 95% (progressively declining to 90% and 85% in the following years) in hopes of curbing import demand for foreign sugar.
- In 2016, Chinese imports of US sorghum decreased to 5.38 million MTs.
- In June 2015, China announced that import tariffs would remained unchanged after the country's 15-year World Trade Organization (WTO) transitional period.
- From 2013 to 2015, Chinese imports of US sorghum increased from approximately 445,000 MTs to just over 9 million MTs. Texas was the largest exporter of US sorghum to China during this period.
- From 2011 to 2015, Chinese buyers purchased more than 50,000 acres (~20,234 ha) worth of farmland from an real estate agent based in Bay City, Houston, Texas. In particular, in August 2015, a Chinese buyer inked a deal to purchase 5,000 acres (~2,023 ha) of Texan farmland for more than USD 20 million. The farmland will reportedly be used to grow and export sorghum for use in the production of liquor (e.g. baijiu). As of 2015, according to the US Grains Council, approximately 10% of Chinese sorghum imports are used to produce baijiu liquor.
- From 2013 to 2014, Chinese sales of baijiu liquor rose 5.5%.
- In 2013, China imported more than 1 million MTs of sorghum, with the bulk (760,980 MTs) arriving from Australia. The USA was the second largest supplier, but would surpass Australia in 2014.
- In November 2013 China began rejecting US corn over reported concerns of GMO contamination (see MIR 162). The corn ban had a positive effect on Chinese sorghum imports (used as a substitute good).
- In October 2013, according to the Executive Director of the Texas Grain Sorghum Board, China began importing US sorghum as a substitute for corn in its animal feed formulations.
- In January 2013, China's Ministry of Finance lowered import tariffs on 784 imported products in order to increase domestic consumption.
- From 2010 to 2012, China's sorghum imports increased slightly from 83,259 MTs and 86,602 MTs. Australia was the primary supplier, with Myanmar (Burma) acting as a small secondary supplier.
- In December 2001, China became a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). At the time, the USA negotiated a 3% across-the-board tariff for soybean imports.

Working for social change could be fun, it turned out, as well as tasty!
Book review: Author recalls the yeasty excitement of 1970s food co-ops
The Co-op Revolution: Vancouver's Search for Food Alternatives
Jan DeGrass | Caitlin Press
$24.95, 195 pages
Do you remember when Safeway did not carry organic food of any sort and efforts to eat a healthy, planet friendly diet seemed eccentric, if not all out bonkers, to most Canadians? Do you remember when the word "vegan" seemed like the name of an imaginary alien culture on Star Trek?
Much has changed in the way we think about food these days, and Jan DeGrass, the author of this charming memoir, helped create that change.
DeGrass was one of the idealistic young people who pooled their youthful energy and a few start up grants from the federal government to create CRS (at first the initials stood forConsumer Resource Services, later changed to a more informative CRS Workers Co-op) and its associated co-op bodies in the mid 1970s. Most of the founders were, like DeGrass, young enough to be considered founding members of Vancouver's counter culture as well as of the co-op enterprises celebrated in this fond remembrance of their early days.Long hours of low or unpaid work created a whole ecology of worker- and consumer-owned and controlled enterprises. Many focused on food production and distribution, while others were housing co-ops and credit unions. The East End Food Co-op was founded with CRS input and still operates on Commercial Drive. Also still operating, although now privately owned, Uprising Bread Bakery on Venables played a role in reminding us all that bread could be a substantial, whole grain and healthy food, not the pallid Wonder Bread of childhood memory.
Forming cooperative ventures with government funding did not turn out to be the revolutionary tactic of some of the founders' dreams, but it did generate important reforms. And it gave an entire generation a model of work and life that did not fit neatly into the 9-to-5 suburban versions on offer in the mainstream culture. Working for social change could be fun, it turned out, as well as tasty!
DeGrass sketches in the history of co-ops in Canada and around the world and provides a charming memory piece about an important moment in Vancouver history. Buy this book (set to launch in March), enjoy it and, in the best spirit of co-operative ventures, pass it along to the foodies and political activists in your circle. Bon appetit!

Part II Collective Security and the Non-Use of Force, Ch.14 Regional Organizations and Arrangements: Authorization, Ratification, or Independent Action
Erika de Wet
From: The Oxford Handbook of the Use of Force in International Law
Edited By: Marc Weller
- Subject(s):
- Regional organizations — UN Charter — Gross violations — Disarmament — Collective security — International peace and security
This chapter focuses on the African Union's (AU) military operations since the turn of the century and the legal framework pertaining to its regional security. It examines the AU's increasing involvement in peace operations since the late 1990s in the context of its relationship with the United Nations Charter. The chapter first clarifies the meaning of the term 'regional organizations' based on Article 53(1) of the UN Charter before discussing whether and to what extent regional enforcement action can be taken under regional arrangements or by regional agencies without the authorization of the UN Security Council. It then evaluates the legal basis of the AU's military operations and their relationship with the UN Security Council, citing the cases of Burundi, Sudan, Somalia, and the Comoros.

Nylon 6 Rod Tolerances
Manufacturers produce engineering plastics that are slightly oversize in either diameter and/or thickness.
This oversize tolerance, which is listed in the tables below, is provided to assist customers to produce
very accurate items within the size shown and remove any minor surface imperfection.
Nylon 6 Rod
Nylon 6 Rod is definitely our most popular engineering plastic; it has been around for years and has been given many different trade names over the years by various companies. It has become a plastic that because of it's versatility is specified, it seems, for just about everything.
There are essentially two manufacturing processes for Nylon 6 Rod, extruded and cast. As the names suggests, extruded is manufactured by heating the polymer and forcing it through a circular die. Whereas cast Nylon 6 Rod is produced by melting the polymer and pouring into metal tubes that are capped at one end open at the top.
Different types of Nylon 6 rod
Both manufacturing processes have their advantages but the few more important ones for engineers are:
Extruded Nylon 6 Rod is slightly cheaper and available in diameters ranging from 6mm up to 300mm. Engineers report through that it seems softer and not as easy to machine as it seems more susceptible to melting during machining. Extruded Nylon 6 Rod though has the advantage in terms of it's size range and lack of any blow holes, but due to the extrusion process could possess more internal stress.
Cast Nylon 6 Rod is reportedly more easy to machine with less internal stress due to the manufacturing process, although rare it has the minute potential for blow holes. Cast Nylon 6 Rod seems to be more stable though with a lower internal stress.
Drilling Nylon 6 rod
Drilling of larger diameter cast Nylon 6 Rod presents some hazards, due to the potential of heat and vibration build-up, it most be drilled with caution. It must be drilled using very sharp drills and gradually working up using successively incremental drill sizes until the desired size is achieved. Coolant and a "pecking" action is also essential. Using large blunt drills with little attention to heat or vibration build-up has potential to cause the material to crack.
Water absorption of Nylon 6 rod
A feature of all Nylon 6 Rod is that it can absorb moisture which could mean that components could grow in size if in a damp environment. This is only a factor if the finished component are exposed to operate in extremely tight tolerances.
Different colours and grades of Nylon 6 rod
The majority of Nylon 6 Rod is manufactured in black or natural colours. The black not only looks better in industrial environments but often contains an additive called Molybdenumdisylphide. (MOS2) This is a graphite type self lubricant that helps black Nylon 6 Rod last longer in wear or abrasive conditions.
Uses for Nylon 6 rod
Nylon 6 Rod can often be found being used for pulleys, bearings, rollers and gears etc. This is because Nylon 6 Rod is exceptionally strong. It can withstand forces up to 1 tonne per square inch as well as being very impact resistant, hard wearing and low in friction.
If you are looking for an engineering plastic that is almost a jack of all trades then Nylon 6 Rod is probably the material for your project.

It's probably going to be more like two paragraphs. It's a mini reflection on anxiety and sleep.
I was thinking about something last night and then again today when I was out on my run. I was thinking about how last year, things at work got so bad that I basically stopped sleeping and fell into a vortex of insomnia that was really, really hard to escape, even after sent in my letter of resignation.
Then I remembered that the same thing had happened in my advising job and in my tenure-track teaching job. The only reason it didn't happen in my full-time online teaching job was because my boss let me come in late every day and change my schedule whenever I wanted to (and then she left and that perk ended).
I mean, I knew I'd had issues with insomnia in the past. I just hadn't connected the dots to see how prevalent this problem has been for me.
Some people can get by without sleep. I can't. Lack of sleep makes me angry, resentful, confused, and inarticulate, none of which are conducive to a positive performance at work (or a positive life in general). Sleeping pills have addressed part of the problem - namely, the falling asleep part - but leave me perpetually groggy. It is a sucky, scary, personality-altering condition.
Insomnia is a beast. Those of you who've experienced it know what I mean.
I look at/for jobs every day. I find about 2-3 jobs per week that pay a decent wage and that I'm at least somewhat qualified for. But I will admit that I'm picky even beyond those considerations because I just can't dive into yet another job that will destroy my health.
As a result, I routinely discard any job ad containing words such as "obsessed," "passionate," "driven," and "go-getter," because in my experience, those kinds of jobs are breeding grounds for my stress and anxiety. Management jobs? No. Jobs requiring frequent presentations? No. Jobs where I have to help other people through difficult situations? No, though I wish I could be effective in that sort of position.
So... I eliminate many possibilities simply because I know those gigs won't be good for my anxiety and will destroy the healthy habits I've developed over the past year. And I don't want to give up good sleep. These days, I go to bed by 10 and wake up around 6 without much issue. On the nights when something does keep me awake past midnight, I'm comforted by the knowledge that I'll have time to nap the next day.
I'm not saying this as a sob story or to make excuses. It just is what it is - a factor that requires a lot of consideration when I'm sifting through options.
It's the kind of boundary I need to set for myself, but it also feels somewhat limiting, and that can be frustrating. Because I do feel like I have more to give to meaningful work... and yes, I also really want to earn a higher income.
That's all.

Vikings' Everson Griffen and wife take beautiful, smiling photo... at 9/11 Memorial
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen is a very, very good football player.
Last season Griffen racked up 13 sacks, tied for fourth-most in the NFL, and was a lynchpin on the fearsome top-rated defense that pushed Minnesota to the NFC Championship Game.
A recent write-up on Vikings blog Daily Norseman credits Griffen with "one of the most ridiculous first steps in the game," and as a "relentless" pass-rusher with "ridiculous athletic ability."
Everson Griffen is also, by all appearances, a devoted husband and father, and a good all-around dude. Who else would think to celebrate a sack by revealing a message asking a national TV audience, "I just had a baby boy. What should we name him?"
Griffen and wife Tiffany got a lot of suggestions, and ultimately went with Sebastian, their third boy. Griffen thoughtfully says he'll encourage his boys to play less violent sports while younger, and save football, if they're interested, until high school. ("The brain is a sensitive area," he told ESPN. "I want [as little] contact as possible.")
See? Good guy.
One thing Everson Griffen is not is a #brand-conscious social media manager. If he was, the Vikings star might have anticipated getting some blowback for posting the joyous, beautiful photo of himself and Tiffany on Thursday.
"Blessed!" Griffen captioned the shot on Instagram.
In the background just behind them, indeed, just under Griffen's hands, is the 9/11 Memorial in New York City.
Responses to the image have been mixed. Some followers are happy they're happy! Others wish they'd take their happiness somewhere else. A few of the responses so far:
"You're leaning on a 9/11 memorial and smiling ugh. I love you but [forehead smack emoji]."
"I respect you but that's not the place to be smiling and being super happy."
"I was crying there and u smiling its [sic] just not right."
"Stay tuned for his filtered selfies at Auschwitz."
Turns out the 9/11 Memorial is a place to reflect on terrorism, tragedy, heroism, but not happiness -- which, according to some, you should take somewhere else if you happen to experience it at the wrong place.
We at City Pages are inclined to give Griffen (and his wife) a pass for a large amount of good dude-ness, to date.
Is there really no way we can blame this on Instagram?
UPDATE: As of mid-afternoon Friday, Everson Griffen has deleted the Instagram post, and posted a statement -- @ing both City Pages and Deadspin, which first reported on the photo's existence -- to his Twitter account.

Reasons Why You Need To Hire HVAC Experts For Installation, Repair, And Maintenance Of Your System
A HVAC system will be a critical addition to any residential or commercial home since it will work to improve the quality of life and make it more comfortable to stay in a given premises. If you have been experiencing problems at home during the summer when the temperatures are too high or finding it hard to stay at home during the freezing winters, it is advisable that you invest in an HVAC system. Individuals who invest in a HVAC system do not only enjoy living a comfortable life, but you also get the chance to live a healthier life. When you have installed the HVAC system in your home, they help to get rid of allergens, dust and other bacteria that usually cause diseases, and thus having the system in your home will keep everyone in your home healthy. When installed in an office, the HVAC will ensure that your staff has the best working environment and this helps to enhance their level of productivity.
When one has learnt the many benefits that come with the use of HVAC systems and chose to add one to their premises, there is the need to engage a HVAC professional. When you are out to purchase a new unit that suits your home, the expert can assess your home and advise you the best model that suits your needs. Apart from determining the best system for your need, you can also rely in the air conditioning installation services provided by the experts to have the systems installed correctly. When you seek air conditioning services from an expert, you do not only benefit from having the units installed correctly, but you also have the chance to get tips from the experts.
The experts do not only work to ensure that you have the HVAC installed correctly, but when one engages them, they will help you come up with a maintenance strategy that will aim at ensuring that you have the HVAC unit working correctly at all times. HVAC maintenance services are aimed at ensuring that you have the units in top condition at all times and also limit the occurrence of breakdowns which will cost you a lot of cash in the terms of the repairs.
One also needs to hire the HVAC contractors when they have a HVAC system that is in need of repairs. One can tell that they need air conditioning repairs when there are strange sounds from the systems when they are running, when your units take too long before starting, when you are paying too high utility bills among other signs. When you attempt to repair the HVAC systems yourself, you expose yourself to the danger of burns and electrocution, but you can remain secure and leave the tasks in the hands of experts.

Here is another pattern from The Weekly Fly and Kelly Galloup. As always, Kelly does a great job explaining the methods behind the fly and offers a good demonstration about using the right amount of dubbing, something we all often use too much of. This is an ant pattern by name, but looks like a perfect pattern to try out where caddis or sedge lurk.
Check out a few other Kelly Galloup patterns we have featured on the blog.

The Spicy Thai McBistro is McDonalds' newest sandwich creation and this online commercial introduces its spiciness. This commercial is specifically made for online viewing. This isn't necessarily a new strategy, but the way McDonalds executes it is pretty original.
The ad starts with a man holding up his Spicy Thai McBistro sandwich. He takes a bite and a bit of the sauce drips out of the sandwich and lands on the timeline bar of the video player. The man in the commercial starts blowing at the fuse as it burns along the bottom of the video.
This is a great way of making the actual commercial and the platform it is being presented on interact together. It also works great with the sandwich branding, since most people blow out when they eat something too spicy.
This Spicy Thai McBistro Ad from McDonalds is Made for Online Only

OTTAWA - They met as strangers for a threesome in a Toronto apartment, and Luka Magnotta took a liking to the transgendered girl his same age - so much so that the other guy stormed out, said he was going for a pack of smokes and never returned.
Luka Magnotta was 23 and years away from becoming the monster depicted in the headlines. Then an aspiring porn actor and an escort for older men, he ended up courting the girl and would go on to live with her in 2006.
It was her darkest romance.
Magnotta's ex-girlfriend, who wishes to remain anonymous, recalls a date that year in which the two went to see the Sharon Stone film Basic Instinct 2 on opening night. Magnotta insisted they sit in the front row, and she recalls him holding her hand through the scene where a mystery blond woman kills a man with an ice pick.
The online video of the alleged killing at Magnotta's Montreal apartment is titled "1 lunatic 1 ice pick."
Magnotta's ex-girlfriend said he was prone to mood swings at the time she knew him, and was infatuated by serial killer Karla Homolka.
"He talked at length about Karla," she said.
She said Magnotta - at the time, a year away from filing for bankruptcy - spared no expense in the courtship, renting limousines to pick her up for dates at noted Toronto restaurants.
It was fun, she said, at least at first.
But their sex life was lousy, she said, because of his river-bottom sex drive.
"He didn't have much of a high sex-drive when I was with him, to be honest. I kept begging him for sex, and he would never give it to me. This one time he allowed me to give him oral sex but it only lasted for one minute," she said.
Magnotta wouldn't even kiss her on the lips. He wanted only to hold her hand, take her to the movies and wine and dine her at fancy restaurants. When not eating out, she said, Magnotta ordered pizza all the time, and never cooked meals. He always made the sign of the cross before he ate, saying he was raised to be grateful for what was on his plate.
She said there was no intimacy even though they slept in the same bed. So she settled for hickeys on her neck.
He had no problem doing that, she said, and he once sucked on her skin so hard he broke blood vessels in her neck. When she told him, she says, "He quickly ran to the bathroom, and he looked at himself in the mirror, and he freaked out and washed it away with water."
He told her that he couldn't sleep with her because it didn't mean anything special to him; because Magnotta had sex "with old men for money," and because he was dating her, she said, "He wanted to express that kind of love in a different way."
She said Magnotta was "very cold" and would go silent when they argued.
When she dumped him, she said Magnotta insisted they remain friends. She didn't keep in touch and one of the last times Magnotta called her he said he'd had a "bad experience" with a john.
Magnotta invited her on a holiday in Greece, but she declined. "He got mad 'cause he didn't understand why I didn't want to go."
She said Magnotta would get upset over little things.
"I remember, I knocked down a picture frame of himself, and he freaked out on me.
"He was hot and cold. I just thought the whole relationship was ... weird, you know?"
She said her friends warned her not to date Magnotta, but she said she was "blinded" by love.
"I didn't trust him, cause there was something about him that gave me the creeps. I'm glad I broke up with him, 'cause he could have killed me, and chopped me up in pieces," she said.
Interviewed separately, a close friend of Magnotta's from the time recalled that he was self-absorbed, and always asking how he looked.
Magnotta's ex-girlfriend also said he constantly wanted her to take pictures of him. She said the first thing he did every morning was "market himself" on the Internet.
"He wanted to be famous," she said.
Meanwhile, the Miami Police Department is the latest force searching for ties between Luka Rocco Magnotta and an unsolved homicide.
Magnotta, arrested in Berlin following an international manhunt, is the prime suspect in the death and dismemberment of 33-year-old Concordia University student Jun Lin.
While there is no evidence to connect Magnotta to any such crime elsewhere, the brutality of his alleged modus operandi and his extensive international travels have caught the attention of investigators in several jurisdictions.
The latest is a veteran Miami homicide detective, whose department has been trying to solve a three-year-old cold case that shares similarities to the Montreal slaying.
Sgt. Confessor Gonzalez plans to contact Montreal police to explore possible links between Magnotta and the mysterious, 2009 death and dismemberment of Guatemalan national Omar Laparra.
Police forces in Los Angeles and Gatineau, Que., have also indicated that they're inspecting Magnotta's recent activity because both jurisdictions have unsolved homicide cases involving corpse mutilation.
Miami police say Laparra, 21, vanished after leaving a bar in Miami's Little Havana neighbourhood early in the morning on May 31, 2009. He was never seen alive again. Over the following several days, Gonzalez said Laparra's remains were found stuffed in four plastic bags floating in waterways around the southern part of the city.
"We were never able to put it together," he said about the case, which was described by U.S. TV show America's Most Wanted.
"It makes no sense at all why someone would do this."

I'm busy with a document that change frequently. and special the used dimensions change. This result in a large chance that i miss a value when i change the dimensions. To tackle this problem i made a command with 3 variables (L,W,H). With the help of http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Macros i make the following command.
\newcommand{\dimsEN}[3][default value]{The dimensions ($\mathrm{L} \times \mathrm{W} \times
\mathrm{H}$) of the room are $\mathrm{#1} \times \mathrm{#2} \times \mathrm{#3}$}
Now i cant figure out how to make 3 default values. so that i have 1 place to change all te values

Case Study: TechCare 360
TechCare360 was founded by Samuel and Rachel Ingram, in 2013, as Ingram IT Solutions. They are located in California's San Joaquin Valley, in the town of Visalia, just West of Sequoia National Park. We caught up with Samuel to find out what makes TechCare360 different.
Why did you start TechCare360?
We set out to find a better way. Armed with feedback and best practices from a range of tech companies, and other businesses, we threw out the standard to create something new. Rather than rely on the typical industry way to do things, we design and fit our monthly service to fit each client's needs. Our passion for people means we won't sit idly by, we actively help. We aren't technology professors, a big faceless corporation, or industry experts, we're just people. Everyone is good at something, we just happen to be good with technology and want to use that talent to help others. TechCare360 is designed by business owners, for business owners.
What is important to you personally?
What is most important to us is our family, having great relationships, and helping other business people grow and succeed.
What is important to your company?
The most important thing to our company is people. The San Joaquin Valley has a large agricultural community that values family, trade, and collaboration. There's a caring, small-town atmosphere here even though there are many business, entertainment, and cultural opportunities. Our motto (and we truly believe this) is that we should always "Be the solution." Bringing helpful solutions to other businesses and people is our goal in every situation. Our relationship with our clients and our community comes first.
What are some of your customers' common challenges and needs?
Some of the common pain points our potential clients deal with include inconsistent billing, surprise bills, hard to reach IT people, and a lack of communication. Every business faces different challenges. However, there seems to be one common need: our clients use technology every day to provide great products and services to their customers. If the technology fails, their customers suffer. Every business simply needs their technology to work… It's our job to worry, so they don't have to.
How do you connect with your customers?
We connect with our clients primarily through in-person support, strategy sessions, quarterly meetings, and special occasions. We also connect via phone, email, and through the TechCare360 help desk. This allows our clients to stay in the loop about any submitted issues. We enjoy connecting with our clients frequently to establish and build a relationship that is truly a partnership.

The AFC West is basically cut in half. The San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos are clearly the class of the division and will battle for the top spot not only in the West but also in the AFC. Meanwhile, Kansas City's Chiefs will be happy to win 6 games or an Emmy for HBO's 'Hard Knocks', while the Oakland Raiders look to set the record for an abysmal offense paired with a terrific defense, previously set by the Illinois Fighting Illini of the early-90s. (See, that reference is horrible. First of all, who remembers how bad the Illini's offense was back then? Also, why compare U of I's squad from 20 years ago to the Raiders of today? I suck.)
Anyway, here is how I see the division breaking down:
–Denver Broncos: It seems like everyone and their momma likes the Super Chargers to win the West, which means I have to go against the grain and pick the Broncos. (more…)

A woman's identification with her hair can be a powerful thing, but for a black woman, it is a tangled identity fraught with the ongoing effects of racism, respectability politics and beauty standards that have historically marginalized our hair along with everything else.
With the rise of the natural hair movement, it's sometimes easy to forget that not all of us are proudly rocking our natural textures and that for some, outdated notions of femininity and desirability are intertwined with the way we wear our tresses.
This is the pretext of Netflix's upcoming original movie, Nappily Ever After, starring Sanaa Lathan (who famously shaved her head for the role). Based on the 2001 bestselling book by Trisha R. Thomas, it is the story of one woman's breakthrough—and the hair that might be holding her back.
Lathan plays Venus Johnson, a beautiful and highly successful woman who seems to have everything except the ring she so deeply desires. When her longtime boyfriend refuses to commit, she cuts him off—and her hair soon follows. Forced to find out who she really is behind the curtain, Venus must face her insecurities and dismantle everything she thought she knew about herself, hopefully growing into her truth in the process.
The Glow Up tip: Nappily Ever After premieres on September 21 on Netflix.

Poll: Will You Wear White After Labor Day?
Credit: AKM-GSI (2); Ilya S. Savenok/Getty Images
The saying is tried—you're not supposed to wear white after Labor Day—but is it true? It's the holiday that clearly marks the transition from the warm months of summer to the brisk months of fall, and we typically see a stylistic shift from pastels, shorts, and sundresses to jewel tones, blazers, and scarves. But we're left unsure if the classic no-more-white rule still sticks, so we want to know: do you plan on wearing white after today?

« Whacking the Mole Again: More Thoughts on Teacher Leadership | Main | Do Teachers Read Professionally? »
In Praise of the Field Trip
So there we were, in Scottsdale, Arizona on what amounts to a holy pilgrimage for me: visiting the Musical Instrument Museum. The MIM is an extraordinary place, filled to the brim with exquisite displays of artists, instruments, stories and--thanks to 21st century wireless technology--a smorgasbord of gorgeous music. I stood in front of the Steinway upright on which John Lennon wrote "Imagine." I drifted past a Stradivarius violin, listening to Vivaldi.
And--I watched a group of 6thgrade-ish girls (and one reluctant boy, unable to resist) cluster, wide-eyed and chattering, around a display of Taylor Swift's white grand piano and glittering concert dress. Were they learning important lessons that will ultimately make them college- and career-ready? Or simply taking a day off from the grind, participating in everyone's favorite School Event: the field trip?
Hard to say. The kids were wearing identical T-shirts and accompanied by a passel of parents, who seemed to be as enthralled as the kids by the fascinating exhibits. Low-key volunteer docents (many of whom had that "retired teacher" aura) hung around, casually telling stories about how most middle-class homes had pianos 100 years ago--and people made music themselves, rather than purchasing phonographs! It was more fun! The kids were certainly having fun whacking huge Chinese drums and cranking automatons, which one docent described as the "musical computer" of the early 20th century.
I wondered--what is this field trip's ultimate purpose? How will the students apply what they have learned? What are their takeaways?
And--because these are the questions we hear most often in national policy discussion--was this content standards-based? Could it be delivered (and measured) more efficiently and effectively? Say, in a video or interactive computer game?
I'm going to go ahead and answer that question: No.
There is no replacement for the field trip. I know buses are expensive, ticket costs are soaring, and taking 30 ,60 or 100 kids on the road--even for a half day--is a monumental, fraught undertaking. But sometimes, you have to get out of Dodge, into the wider world.
Because leaving the desks and playground behind is much more than a treat, or a reward. It is--when done well--exactly what we should be doing with all children: making it possible for them to explore their world, sample new sights and sounds, interact in different ways. It's even common for children to experience local landmarks and institutions for the first time on a field trip.
A field trip is much more than just fitting new objects, buildings or facts into a mental framework, however. It's understanding that someone's mom or dad has volunteered to watch over you for a day, and must be listened to, and respected. It's the anticipation of a new experience. It's managing lunch, directional signs, backpack and a new restroom. It's being on your own in a roomful of precious objects, listening to an expert who isn't your teacher, and isn't on a screen.
Puff pieces on virtual field trips appear frequently in edu-media. These can be great supplementary instructional materials--pre-packaged, targeted to specific learning goals, a virtual glimpse of the Smithsonian for kids who live in rural Montana. But the non-virtual field trip--probably because it's not easy to set up and accomplish, and always subject to the unpredictable-- lingers in students' memory.
I remember clearly going to Deer Park, the "first grade trip" at Orchard View Elementary, and feeding deer from a flat-bottomed ice cream cone. There were brightly painted plywood cottages and a playground, and we ate our sack lunches at picnic tables. Awesome sauce. (This was the 1950s, mind you, when my family got two black-and-white channels on our new TV set.)
Here are some indelible things I learned on that trip: Deer can be friendly, but are not tame. Their most critical sense is smell, and they have a difficult time seeing the color red. Also: some of the room mothers who chaperoned the trip were smokers, lighting up their Pall Malls outside the fence at lunch, while other moms tut-tutted back at the picnic tables. (You might call that social-cue learning...)
Most of the enthusiasm for virtual field trips is prefaced by the assertion that a computer-based experience is cheap--or even free (with the obvious assumption, of course, that you have "free" devices for every child--and those devices all operate perfectly). In a time when students spend so much time being entertained, drilled and emotionally jolted in front of screens, why wouldn't you opt for a first-hand experience, even if the content was more pedestrian--the fire house, the local library or the apple orchard?
The Michigan Historical Center, in Lansing, offers a five-day immersive experience for local classrooms, bringing students to the museum every day for a week. Students are not led past exhibits (or sent on competitive "treasure hunts")--but instead sit down for discussion, sketching items, journal-writing and share-outs around essential questions about how Michigan was settled and shaped. Margaret Holtschlag, who developed the Big History Lesson program, in 1999, understood the value of letting questions bubble up, allowing students time to wonder what an unfamiliar farm implement might do--or what the impact of a wave of immigrants might mean to an industry or region.
So why don't more museums, zoos, galleries and science centers offer week-long, in-depth programs? It's not the money--money can be raised or donated. It's fear about the time away from tested skills and content. Think about that.
I looked around for the obvious teacher(s) at the MIM, thinking to approach and compliment them on their students' behavior and enthusiasm, and to congratulate them on whatever preparation had made the kids so responsive and excited about the musical wonders they were immersed in. But I couldn't tell which of the adults was Teacher. That, in itself, is success.
Go see the MIM, if you're in Phoenix. It's incredible. I hope you get lucky and go on a day when the place is delightfully full of schoolkids.

Published October 2010
The potential link between vitamin D deficiency and cancer has certainly become a hot topic, especially in the gray and rainy Pacific Northwest.
I had the opportunity to become an "expert" on the subject by researching all the literature on the potential connection between vitamin D deficiency and breast cancer risk for a public talk at the Breast Cancer Issues Conference held by Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Oregon and SW Washington.
Here is what I learned
The current evidence linking vitamin D deficiency and breast cancer risk is rather inconsistent. What is clearer is that vitamin D deficiency has a definite risk in osteoporosis and in rickets, a bone disease first described in the 1600s. It is characterized by skeletal deformities primarily seen in children.
There also have been relationships proposed between vitamin D deficiency and cardiovascular disease, hypertension, infection, chronic pain, dementia and diabetes. It turns out it is not good to be deficient in vitamin D.
One meta-analysis of nine studies concluded that people who took vitamin D3 supplements had a lower all-cause mortality than those who did not. In other studies it appears that 70 to 80 percent of all hospitalized patients are vitamin D deficient, and potentially 77 percent of all Americans may be deficient (defined as a 25 [OH] D level of 30 ng/ml).
The first suggestions of a potential connection between vitamin D deficiency and breast cancer risk came from observational studies. These studies found that there were higher breast cancer rates in northern latitudes than in southern latitudes.
Indeed, Oregon consistently ranks high for incidence of new breast cancers in the United States. Further, a study reported that women in northern Norway had poorer outcomes when diagnosed with breast cancer than women diagnosed in southern Norway, where there is more sun exposure and potentially higher vitamin D levels.
Other studies have found vitamin D levels to be significantly lower in women diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer than in women with early-stage disease.
The majority of breast cancer patients are vitamin D-deficient. Studies in both northern and southern climates (Toronto and Los Angeles, for example) have found that approximately 75 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer have deficient levels of vitamin D, and that 42 percent of black women with breast cancer were seriously deficient (defined as <15 ng/ml).
What about other factors?
All of these associations call into question: Is it really the vitamin D or some confounders that are also linked to breast cancer risk? For instance, obesity, an established risk factor for breast cancer, also may be the cause for lower vitamin D. It is known that higher BMI is associated with lower vitamin D levels, and given it is a fat-soluble vitamin, this is plausible.
In addition, we know that physical activity and outdoor exercise raise serum vitamin D levels and potentially protect against breast cancer. The relationship between vitamin D deficiency and cancer is quite biologically possible given that vitamin D is converted to its active form in breast tissue (as well as the kidney, colon, etc.). And vitamin D receptors are nuclear transcription factors for more than 200 genes responsible for proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and angiogenesis.
Two studies have been conducted addressing the hypothesis: Can you reduce cancers if you supplement vitamin D? The studies disagree on the answer. In the Women's Health Initiative study, more than 36,000 women were given 400 IU of vitamin D (with 1000 mg calcium), and no difference was noted in breast cancer incidence. This dosage, however, has been criticized for being too low for a notable effect.
In fact a smaller study in Nebraska of 1,179 postmenopausal women who took either placebo, calcium alone (1400 to 1500 mg daily) or calcium with vitamin D (1100 IU daily) found fewer cancers, particularly breast cancer, in the calcium and vitamin D group. The study also found fewer cancers in the calcium-alone group, and the numbers were quite small (36 cases of breast cancer total in all three groups).
Therefore, more work is needed to determine if it is a vitamin D deficiency or other factors that contribute to cancer risk. Current recommendations for vitamin D supplementation are 200, 400 and 600 IU of vitamin D3 daily for people younger than 50, 50 to 70, and older than 70, respectively.
Most experts, however, agree this is too low, especially in a deficient patient. To confuse things even more, the "ideal" level is not truly known and one dose may not fit all.

COMtoUA is a Classic OPC DCOM server with the capability to act as multiple OPC DA, HDA and/or AE servers. Each server is configured to a UA server endpoint and enables Classic OPC clients to access OPC UA servers.
The COMtoUA converter makes OPC UA servers accessible from classic OPC client applications. COMtoUA can be configured to serve as multiple OPC DA, HDA and/or AE servers.
Each of these pseudo servers are assigned to an endpoint of an OPC UA server.
Multiple pseudo servers can access the same UA server or endpoint, e.g. if the UA server supports the functionality of multiple Classic OPC specifications.
UAtoCOM converts in the opposite direction. It is an OPC UA server with the capability to aggregate multiple OPC DA, HDA and/or AE servers. OPC UA clients can access Classic OPC DA, HDA, AE servers thru the UAtoCOM converter
When to use the COMtoUA Converter Server?
The COMtoUA Converter Server enables Classic OPC clients to access OPC UA servers. COMtoUA offer a simple way to migrate to OPC UA. The converter can be bypassed with minimal changes when OPC UA clients get available.
COMtoUA Configuration
An easy to use configuration utility is provided for creating and editing the COMtoUA configuration.
The configuration has two main parts:
COMtoUA Converter Server Compliance Tests
The COMtoUA Converter Server is compliance tested with the OPC Foundation Compliance Test Tool in the configuration shown in the diagram.

On this episode, we cover a lot of ground but only advance our timeline a total of 4 days. Mormon depredations throughout Daviess County are answered by vigilante militia depredations against Mormons. The anti-Mormons are routing the Mormons to concentrate their population in the twin sanctuary cities, Diahman and Far West in preparation of a mass siege to put down the Mormon fanatics once and for all. Captain Samuel Bogart's troops take two Mormon spies prisoner and Captain Fearnought assaults their camp on Crooked River with the Danites. Once Governor Lilburn Boggs catches word of the Danite aggression, he answers with a 4,000-man militia armed with an Executive Order to exterminate the Mormons. We bring on Andrew Torrez of Opening Arguments podcast to shed some expert light on the situation.
