Hi Joanna_LaBresh,
Can you provide the condition(s) that you have tried? It is easier to troubleshoot if this information is available.

Hi Joanna_LaBresh, if your
Hi Joanna_LaBresh, if your IgY is captured on the protein column, low pH should be able to elute the IgY VERY efficient. Key is you have to incubate the column in such condition for ~5 min before you start collecting the eluate.
If you have already done that, then the question is, have you followed the flow through/unbound fraction to make sure that the problem that you have is not because of the binding?

Cape Breton father pays more than $7,000 for son's breaches
A Cape Breton father who posted $15,500 in property as bail for his son must now pay half of the amount after failing to inform police his son was not abiding by his release conditions.
Francis O'Neill of Frenchvale was tagged with the $7,750 penalty after admitting he failed to let police know his son, Cory Todd O'Neill, 37, was not adhering to his release conditions.
The younger O'Neill was released on conditions in May 2017 but two days later he was back in jail charged with breaching his release conditions and facing additional charges of assault, mischief and uttering threats.
The father told the court that after posting bail, his son informed him he was going to register for a detox program and assumed he was in a program when he didn't return to the residence where he was ordered to live.
Police arrested the son in Sydney in connection with a disturbance at the Towerview Place apartment. O'Neill was also charged with assaulting his girlfriend with whom he was ordered to have no contact.
The father insisted he did call police to report the breach but prosecutor Peter Harrison introduced a statement the man gave to police in which he admitted he didn't call police.
"I thought I did what I was supposed to do. I thought he was in detox," claimed the father, during a forfeiture hearing in Supreme Court.
"While the primary responsibility (to abide by conditions) rests with the accused, you also have a responsibility as a surety. You should have called police," said Justice Robin Gogan, in granting the Crown's request for half of the posted bond.
Gogan noted the father knew his son was in contact with his girlfriend and that it was his obligation to report such to police.
"I realize you had faith in what he was telling you but you understood your obligations. This is an example of why we enforce these orders," said the judge, in granting a one-year term to pay.
During the brief hearing, Cory Todd repeatedly interrupted his father in giving his side of events and at one point commented that his father didn't know what he was talking about.
"You don't talk to your father like that," said the judge, in scolding the son.
In another case, William James O'Connell, 34, of Sydney Mines was ordered to pay $3,000 of his bail total after previously pleading guilty to violating the curfew provisions of his former release order along with residency requirement.
He was given 18 months to pay.
The risks and responsibilities of signing on to being a surety are routinely explained to individuals by Crown and defence lawyers and even judges.
As noted by Gogan, individuals serving as a surety must ensure they report all breaches to police or face the possibility of losing part of all of the amount posted for bail.
Cape Bretoners forfeit $22,000 in bail

Sochi Winter Olympics Observations.
As someone who has a keen interest in both sport and current affairs, Sochi 2014 has been an area of interest for quite a while now. While it is not uncommon for big sporting events to acquire a shadow from political clouds, these winter Olympics are the largest that I have seen in my lifetime. Due to the complex relationships between Russia and the West, awkward comments and calls for boycotting were inevitable and there are many areas of Russian behaviour in recent years that could have been the result of this, such as Involvement in Syria and the recent Ukrainian crisis. However, it has been homophobia that has been drawn to the world's attention in Russia.
Many countries are still struggling with gay rights in the 21st Century. With homosexual relations only being decriminalised in 1993 and it's capital holding a ban on gay pride marches for the next 100 years, Russia is no exception. While it is a sad reality that progress legally and socially is slow in terms of acceptance of homosexuality and rights for those individuals, it has been the recent change in direction and speed in which it has occurred that has caused great worry for many human rights and gay groups worldwide. In June 2013, the Russian Parliament passed a law, under the justification to protect minors, which ultimately bans the promotion of any untraditional sexual relations. These fines not only apply to individuals, but also companies. This now means general expressions of homosexual behaviour in Russia can now be punished and there are fears that with the loose wording of these new clauses, their application can be used whenever the government please, including the internet. 6 men were arrested for holding up signs saying "gay is normal" outside Moscow Library, which shows the extremes in which this law is being enforced.
Alongside rising tensions around the law, a huge rise in hate violence against LGBT individuals has been reported. A country that already has no laws against sexual discrimination, has been seen to turn a blind eye to skinhead violence as Police have failed to respond to LGBT incidents. This is while a disturbing increase in neo-Nazi vigilante gangs has been seen, who kidnap and brutally assault young gay men under the pretence of fighting paedophilia before putting it on the internet.
Unsurprisingly, worldwide condemnation has followed on these policies and the general road Russia seems to be taking. Social media has been a key instrument in this which has helped tell the world of what is going on behind closed doors, yet it is the media which is Putin's most powerful weapon by using it to promote Russia on a worldwide scale. So what should be done? Boycotting the Olympics is a huge decision and is also unfair on the athletes who just want to perform on the world stage that they belong to be on. The answer, found by many, has been showing LGBT groups and people in Russia great support through the Olympics, simultaneously giving Putin the finger as well!
Below, is an example of some of the courageous and ingenious ways in which individuals and companies around the world have shown their support.

The Guardian's logo on their website has also followed the rainbow theme of support.
While those are all admirable and rightly have been recognised, I have saved the best until last. Channel 4 top the list with this funny and unsubtle 90 second feature which has been aired throughout the first week of the Winter Olympics.

Universal diagram section type - details
This section type enhances your report with interactive diagrams, images, and bitmaps.
With a universal diagram, you can import a graphic (for example, a map) and overlay it with points representing the status of an element of your infrastructure, such as a tier or server IP address. You can use it to construct reports showing business impact at subsidiaries across the world or performance across the delivery chain of the application.
- Render points with values of one dimension
- Color and scale points on the graphic based on a metric value
- Enable a drilldown from each point to a different report
- Filter by a selected point
- Add section buttons
- Autoscale the universal diagram to a desired size or to fill a certain space in the report
- Set Display name to the name of the section.
- Set Section type to
Universal diagram.
- Select only one dimension to map out on the diagram.
- Select a metric for that dimension.
Getting started
This is a quick run-through to show you how to create a report from scratch that uses a universal diagram.
- On the NAM Server, select DMI > New report to create a sample report.
DMI opens to the Data tab of the first (and only) section definition for our example report.
- On the Data tab
- Set Section type to
Universal diagram.
- In the Edit column, expand the
Subjectrow and specify some data we can map to the diagram. For example, we will map total bytes and total bandwidth usage for software services:
- In Dimensions, select
Software serviceand set Show as to
- In Metrics, select
Total bytesand
Total bandwidth usage.
- In Dimensions, select
- Set Section type to
- On the Result display tab
- Set Metric used for determining the size of a point to
Total bandwidth usage.
- Set Metric shown in a point's label to
Total bytes.
- In the
Software servicerow
- Set Color rendering to
Customand select
Total bytes
- Set Thresholds to some values (for example, red =
1000and yellow =

- Set Metric used for determining the size of a point to
- On the Universal diagram tab
Click File name and select
DefaultGrid.pngfor this example.
In practice, you would want to find or create a graphic a background graphic to represent your problem space, such as a geography, process diagram, or concept map. Then you would click Upload image at this stage and select your graphic to upload it to the NAM Server. But for now, we will use a standard empty grid.
Click Settings and select
Show labels
For each software service you want to display on our example map, select the software service in the list, then click a point on the graphic. Just do two or three for now to see how it works. After you place them on the diagram, you can drag and drop points to more precise locations.
- Click Display report to see the results.
That's it. If you have followed the above procedure, you should see the grid graphic with your selected software services represented by points that are scaled to
Total bandwidth usage and labeled with
Total bytes.
For details on certain parts of this feature, see below.
Managing images
Uploading an image
- Switch to the Universal diagram tab.
- Click Upload image.
- Select a file.
- Click Open.
- Only System Administrators and Reporting Administrators can upload images.
- The image type must be .png or .jpg.
- The total size of all uploaded images cannot exceed 1 GB.
Selecting an uploaded image
- Switch to the Universal diagram tab.
- In the File name field, click the currently selected file name to list all available files.
- Select a file name.
- There is no image preview available. You see the image after selecting it from the list.
- You cannot zoom or resize the image. The image is displayed as uploaded to the server. If it is too big to fit the screen, scroll bars appear on two sides of the viewing area to facilitate navigation.
Deleting an image
- Switch to the Universal diagram tab.
- In the File name field, click the currently selected file name to list all available files.
- Click the for the image file you want to delete from the NAM Server.
- Only System Administrators and Reporting Administrators can delete images.
Filtering the dimension values used as data points
You can choose between two list views:
If you define any filters on the Data tab, the list of available dimension values (data points) is limited by your filtering criteria.
This view lists all available values of the selected dimension.
Note that if you add a custom point in the Filtered view, but this dimension value already exists in a dictionary, and you switch to the All view, your custom point becomes a common point; the icon disappears and you cannot remove that point from the list. This also happens when your custom point does not exist in a dictionary initially, but it appears in the next monitored intervals and belongs to the set of chosen dimension values.
The opposite takes place when you switch from the All to the Filtered view. If you are in the All view and use a point that is not defined as a filter, and then you switch to the Filtered view, that point becomes a custom point.
Defining color rendering for data points
To visualize the status (represented by a comparison of the chosen metric value to its threshold) of your monitored components (represented by a selected dimension such as the
Client site), you must define color rendering for the dimension selected as a Point.
Defining point size and labels for data points
On the Result display tab, use the Point options settings to determine point characteristics.
- Set Metric used for determining the size of a point to scale the size of the point to the value of the selected metric. If not selected, all points are rendered the same size.
- Set Metric shown in a point's label to show an additional metric name and value in the label. If not selected, the label shows only the name of the dimension you used to define points. If selected, the name and value of the selected metric are displayed in the label under the name of the dimension.
- Select the same metric for both settings to show the metric graphically and as a metric value.
- Select different metrics to show complementary values, one represented as the point size and the other displayed as a metric name and value in the label.
Placing data points on the image
- On the Data tab, you select exactly one dimension to be displayed as a data point.
- On the Universal diagram tab, to the left of the image, you see the values of the selected dimension. They are ordered alphabetically and can be used as data points on the image.
So, to place a data point on the image:
On the Universal diagram tab, select a dimension value in the list.
Hover the mouse pointer over the image.
When you do this, the pointer changes to crosshairs to help you precisely place the data point on the image.
Click the place where you want to put the data point for the selected dimension value.
- You cannot put two data points in the same place. Every time you try to put a point in a place that is already taken by another data point, the point color changes to red.
- The maximum number of points that you can place on the image is 200.
Optionally, you can enter the point coordinates manually:
- Click for the selected list item.
- Enter the
Yvalues of the point coordinates.
- Enter the
Yvalues of the label offset, which determines where the label will be displayed in relation to the point location.
- Set
0to place the label directly under or over the point, depending on how you set the
- Set
Yto a negative number to place the label above the point or to a positive number to place the label below the point.
- Set
- If you define data points and decide to change the image, all point positions will be scaled to fit the size of a new image.
- If a dimension value that is used as a data point is not available in a particular time range, it will not be displayed on the report.
- You can drag and drop points and labels to new locations on the Universal diagram tab.
Adding custom data points
Custom points are values that do not exist in a dictionary and are defined by a user.
You can define a custom data point by adding a new dimension value to the list. To do this, click the icon and type the dimension value. Click OK to save your changes.
Managing custom data points
All custom points are marked with to distinguish them from the basic dimension values. You place these points on the image the same way as you place all other data points.
To list only the custom points, click .
To delete the custom point from the list, click next to the point name. The point is also deleted from the image.
Note: Data points that are not available for the selected time range are always marked as custom points.
Common options for all data points
- To list only those dimension values that are already in use, click .
- To remove a point from the image, click .
- To remove all points from the image, click Remove all points.
- To change the point size, click Settings and choose a new size. Default size:
- To show data point labels, click Settings and click Show labels.

More photos at our DNCB Flickr site
Eighteen DNCBers spent a glorious Wednesday morning in Maplewood Flats Conservation Area in North Vancouver. Check out the photo evidence on our Flickr site at: www.flickr.com/groups/dncb, then click the magnifying glass icon in the "Photo Pool" row, and add 2017-24 to "DNCB Photos" in the Search box at the top of the page. Also, you can view earlier reports and photos of our DNCB outings to Maplewood Flats on our website at: https://dncb.wordpress.com/category/locations/north-vanwest-van/maplewood-flats/.
Two cars of 4 each car-pooled beautifully from Petra's at 7:30 am, arriving at 8:45 am (as scheduled) at the entrance to Maplewood Flats. We made super time (1 ¼ hrs.) in Rush Hour traffic through Delta, Richmond, Vancouver and Burnaby to North Van, mainly because our chauffeurs, Chris M and Anne M are "locals" and knew where they were going. Others met us at the new Feeder Area behind the Wild Bird Trust of BC office, where they were enjoying the many common species (notables were three Finches, House, Purple and American Goldfinches, Brown-headed Cowbirds, Bushtits, Downy Woodpeckers). Following introductions, Roger took the Group Photo (15 without him and late-arrivers Wendy & Randy), and then we started down the trail toward the mudflats.
We continually heard Warbling Vireos and Swainson's Thrushes singing but, even with our many eyes searching, we could not find the sources of this singing. Some eventually caught glimpses of a Red-eyed Vireo. At the shoreline, we saw that many of the Purple Martin boxes on pylons in the flats were occupied and very active. We could only see one baby on the Osprey nest as its parents occasionally dropped by to check on him/her. The tide was way out so we saw no ducks, only Pelagic Cormorants, Gulls, Canada Geese and Bald Eagles. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful setting looking across the inlet at Capitol Hill and Simon Fraser University. Lots of Swallows, mostly Tree, Barn and Violet-green hawking insects too.
Moving back along the trail, we located a few "fitz-bewing" Willow Flycatchers for nice photos. Some saw a Pacific-slope Flycatcher too. On another off-shoot trail, Hummingbirds, both Rufous and Anna's, put on an entertaining display of feeding, fighting and flirting. Sleek Cedar Waxwings were also accommodating sightings. I didn't see the singing Black-headed Grosbeak. Some saw as many as a dozen Band-tailed Pigeons, basically giving fly-pasts. I had a brief glimpse of the Turkey Vulture. An American Bittern was supposedly in the "north pond", but we couldn't find it. Nor did we see any Warblers, including a frustratingly noisy Black-throated Gray Warbler. Dragonflies and Tiger Swallowtail Butterflies, along with the beautiful volunteer-planted flowers along the trails, provided an attractive diversion from the lack of bird sightings.
It was approaching Noon when we got back to the entrance, so we decided not to continue to another nearby Park, but rather go to the Deep Cove Brewers Pub on Dollarton Highway for lunch. Mike and I shared Vodka Meatballs and a Truffle Chicken Pasta which were delish, especially washed down with a couple of pints of their Deep Cove Lager. As usual, on the ride back to Tsawwassen, I snoozed to the dulcet (dull) mumblings of Chris, Terry and Glen. Another awesome DNCB outing.
The 18 were: Roger, Mike, Glen, Terry, chauffeurs Chris & Anne M, North Vancouver's Marylile, Marion, sisters Pat & Maureen with Manli, returnee Greg H, newbies Randy & Wendy, almost-a-regular Marty, North Delta's Johnny Mac, Valerie and me.
Next Wednesday, June 28, (before Auntie Barbara flies back to Western Australia in the evening), our outing will be to Campbell Valley Regional Park. Leaving Petra's at 7:30 am, we should be at the 16th Avenue parking lot entrance shortly after 8:00 am.
Also, for DNS members, don't forget our annual Garden Party this Saturday, June 24 at Chris & Marlene McVittie's home, 5:00 to 8:30 pm.
As always, your comments are encouraged, and please advise me if you want off my e-mail list to receive these inane ramblings. Cheers: Tom (1:30 am Friday and going to bed)
Tom Bearss, President, Delta Naturalists Society

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Aspiration (EUG-FNA) is a method by which tissue biospies are collected using a needle tip guided by real-time ultrasound imaging. UCI physicians propose a novel utility for EUS-FNA with enclosed fine needles that would allow the sterile injection of dyes, drugs and therapeutics to specific anatomical sites.
The needle device contains an outer needle that is plugged at the tip with a heat-sensitive waxy material. The waxy plug melts with body heat and allows penetration by the inner fine needle. This outer needle apparatus can traverse the gastrointestinal tract into the injection site. The sterile fine-needle can then be advanced through the guide wire to outer needle, penetrate the plug and be exposed to the site of injection. The injectable solution can be passed through a tube through the fine needle to the anatomical site, allowing sterile delivery.
EUS-FNA guided injection of 1) immunotherapeutics, 2) contrasts into the bile duct, pancreatic ducts and various blood vessels, 3) chemotherapeutic agents and 4) other biological modifiers at lymph nodes and tumors within and adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract.
·Enhances drug delivery to specific sites, such as within tumors, which can be difficult to penetrate
·On-site injections can enhance efficacy of low half-life drugs
·For toxic compounds, such as radioactive dyes and chemotherapeutics, site delivery can reduce off target effects and reduce effective doses.
·Coupling injection to real-time imaging allows for accurate injection at site
·The sterilized fine needle is passed through an outer needle and allows sterile injection at sites and is minimally invasive
The EUS-guided fine-needle injection (FNI) method was used in randomized phase III trial, in which the biologic TNFerade with fluorouracil and radiotherapy was administered locally using EUS-FNI locally to patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
Phase I clinical trial of allogenic mixed lymphocyte culture (cytoimplant) was delivered using EUS-FNI in patients with advanced pancreatic carcinoma and was considered a feasible technique for use.

My name is John and I am a recovering perfectionist.
When something didn't work right the first time or I made a few mistakes, I'd compare my efforts to the rest of the galaxy and decided my efforts were damaged and flawed.
In other words I'd give up. It wasn't meant to be, at least not for me. It had to be 100% sterling silver perfect or it was never good enough.
That's where the self judgement began.
In case you've never been there lemme give you the short version:
Trying to be perfect leads to stress. Stress creates anxiety. Anxiety leads to depression which leads to a wild ride of self accusation, self judgement and the notion that nothing you do, will be right, much less worthy so you might as well give up and go sit on your personalized pile of dung.
You start to develop health issues because you are asking your mind and body to do what it was meant to do on top of coping with all this other s**t you decided to throw at it for good measure. Your doctor gives you pills which lead you to having no emotion at all. But hey, at least you ain't depressed and anxious! Right?
You feel like a fake, a fraud and a phony. You can't find a certain part of you anatomy with a flashlight.
You try everything.
It's very real and it can be very paralyzing and debilitating. In other words It ain't no fun.
It dawned on me that I was fighting a forest fire with a garden hose and trying to put it out with one squirt!
Most of our break through moments are not produced in Hollywood. There is no background music, no tears or fist pumping. It sorta sneaks in unannounced. (No one yelling Yo Adrian! I did it! I did it!)
One day I am sitting on the exercise bike at my gym and the voices, suggestions and good intentions in my head were all talking to me all at once. It was deafening and maddening. It was a cavalcade of everything I was doing and was falling about an inch short of being successful. It was fourth down and inches and I didn't make it!
I got really angry – Mostly at myself.
So much noise. So much confusion. So much insanity. I actually stopped pedaling the bike and just sat there wondering if this is what it was like to go crazy. I sat back, closed my eyes and yelled to all those voices:
"Shut the f**& up! All of you! Right now! I am so f**#ing sick of listening to this sh**!
It got really quiet inside of me.
I got really scared.
Oh s**. What have I done now?
All I could hear was clanking of weights dropping on the gym floor and the rhythmic sounds coming from the cardio equipment.
This is it! I've finally gone over the edge and in a few minutes they are going to come and take me away.
One voice had the courage (?) to stick around. It was gentle and soft.
It didn't ask me to do anything more than exist. No hoops to jump through, challenges to face or other people to be.
Just be.
Perfectionist me! Just being? Yeah right!
No books to read, exercises to perform, coaches to consult. (Blog posts to write!)
Just be and breathe.
For one nano second, one frozen moment in time there was no self incrimination, no reminders of everything I'd messed up in my life. No negative voices. Just me and my breath.
There was this moment of clarity.
Since that awakening I am learning these five things:
Please note: I am not a doctor or a therapist. The things I share with you came from my own moments of self discovery, my journey and trial and error. THEY WORK FOR ME. It doesn't mean they will work for you. In other words, don't stop taking your meds just because I shared some crazy ass ideas that work for me! ( I still take my meds!)
There, I've made the lawyers happy!
I came to realize what perfection meant in my life.
It is like wearing your sweater inside out. I was trying to be perfect because I felt inadequate and broken. I felt I had to go above and beyond, just to be equal to everyone else. Every time I'd hit a road block I'd leap into self judgement mode It meant I had to work harder to catch up with all the rest of you. Guess what? I never did because I was running a race that had no finish line.
Meditation is medication for the mind and soul.
Twice each day I sit down, relax, breathe and meditate. In the morning I follow a practice that helps me set my intentions for the day. They are wrapped around the mantra Progress, not perfection. It allows me to set some boundaries and some goals for my day. When I finish I can relax and enjoy my day.
A whole lotta little things lead up to one big thing.
Creating a simple to do list for that day is a big help. You won't find saving the world on my to do list. Being self employed I have a hat rack with a dozen hats on it. I manage it be creating a list that deals with the most pressing issues of my day day. When I am setting my intentions in the morning the meditations help me create some clarity.
In the evening I use a variation of a Shinto practice called misogi. It's a Japanese word that means to purify. I take some time to look at my day and to see where I may have clung to a behavior or a belief that doesn't serve me in a positive manner. I take a mental and emotional shower and before I go to sleep. I shed those negative thoughts and behaviors so I can sleep and wake with a clean slate the next day.
Follow your intuition.
For a long time I played a game you might be familiar with. The game is Monkey See, Monkey Do. If I knew people who were happy, healthy and confident following a certain practice – I'd jump in as well. It didn't matter if the class, or book or behavior didn't suit me. Other people had success and BTW the guru who espoused it was world renowned, owned a yacht and a plane and was scheduled to help colonize Mars.
It had to work. The Holy Grail. The Golden Ticket. The Promised Land. Right? Except when it didn't and then it was the same old rinse and repeat. There must be something wrong with me.
I'm not throwing shade. These programs and ideas do work. They just didn't work for me. But instead of going with my intuition and taking a pause I was so desperate to be perfect that I went along with everyone else.
I am learning that when faced with a decision, I stop, take a deep breath and listen to my soul. Is it right for me? How will I benefit from the decision?
I'm not going to lie. Old habits die hard. I've spent most of my life trying to prove something I didn't have to prove in the first place. Following my intuition takes practice and I gotta tell you that I'm about 75% successful. But ya know what? Nobody's perfect!
Talk to someone.
I walked around with a lot of this all bottled up inside of me for a long time. You'see I was different. I had to be different in order to be perfect. I could do this all on my own, until I couldn't.
There was no moment of enlightenment that led me to my therapist. It was 100% survival mode. I was out of options. The walls were closing in. Okay, you get it right? I didn't go kicking and screaming but once again, even in 2019, I felt like there was something wrong with me.
By this point in my life I should have all this stuff behind me.
This I can tell you, along with my meditation and learning to trust my intuition, working with a therapist to improve my mental health has been a life saver in managing my perfectionism.
My therapist is someone who can be objective. There is no emotional skein to unwind.
She speaks gently but bluntly which suits me just fine.
It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Health, wellness, success, call it what you will, does not happen in thirty five seconds.
I have to laugh when I get one of those emails that says Follow this plan and you'll be earning six figures in six months! You'd be surprised at the people who've invested in this hokum. They are people like me. People who think we have to rush to the front of the line and prove our value and worth. In reality it takes a lifetime of learning and hard work.
If someone suggests a magic short cut RUN!!!!
I'm going to offer you a sixth reason. A bonus of sorts.
Through my entire adult journey, my wife, partner, friend and advocate Joan has always been their to support me.
I'm not gonna sit here and tell you we walk around smiling and hugging and kissing and singing all day long.
We have a pretty typical marriage. We agree on most things but not everything. We argue about really important stuff like how my driving habits scare the snot out of her sometimes and how I'm always right even when I'm not . In the end though, being with her is my safe place and everyone, perfect or not needs a safe place. To me, this is the most important point of all. I can be me, warts and all, and I know I'n never judged.
So, that's a wrap.
Please share this post with anyone you feel may need to read it and if you feel moved to do so I'd love to hear how you manage perfection in your life. You can email me at email@example.com
Until next time.

After an intense Open Qualifier phase we have determined the four teams who will be fighting for the MSI Gaming Arena (MGA) trophy at ESL One New York 2018, as well as the US$60,000 prize pool.
Close to 700 teams signed up for the various regional qualifiers, but only one team each from Europe, CIS, North America and APAC has braved the qualifier gauntlet and we're looking forward to seeing them all in action in the Barclays Center from September 29-30.
Qualified Team: Movistar Riders
Movistar Riders only just made it to the European Qualifiers by bullying their way through the Last Chance Qualifiers. But it's certainly no surprise to see them go all the way and represent EU at the MGA. Lead by former OpTic Gaming AWPer mixwell and supported by the likes of loWel, the all Spanish squad is one of the front runners to win it all in New York.
Qualified Team: AVANGAR
The Kazak team, lead by Russian captain Jame, will be representing the CIS after a confident performance all throughout the qualifiers. In both the first CIS Qualifier, as well as the final Playoffs it would be Syman Gaming and MAKEKiSTAKE that would present the final hurdles for AVANGAR. But Jame & Co would not be denied as they steamrolled through both teams convincingly with 2-0.
North America
Qualified Team: compLexity Gaming
The North American Qualifiers were all but easy for compLexity. While stanislaw's team managed to secure their spot at the MGA in New York, it wasn't all smooth sailing for them. Both Vision Gaming and eUnited proved to be stiff competition in the Playoffs, taking coL to three maps. But thanks to strong performances in Inferno in both third maps they managed to book their trip to New York where they will get to enjoy the home court advantage.
Qualified Team: eUnited (replacing 5Power Gaming)
After having a chance to showcase their skills at IEM Shanghai 2018, 5Power Gaming managed to finish in 1st place of the Asian qualifiers for yet another opportunity at international competition. Unfortunately it wasn't possible for the team to make the trip to New York for the LAN finals. As a short-term replacement, NA Qualifier 2nd place eUnited will be filling in for them at ESL One New York 2018. They've already shown great promise in the qualifiers and can now crown their run with a title.
MSI Club
MSI is also excited to announce the MSI Dragon Club, a weekly competitive club for CS:GO players on the ESEA platform. Join the Dragon Club for the opportunity to win skins and MSI equipment, like the DS300 mouse, GH70 headset, or GK-701 gaming keyboard. Dragon Club is designed to enhance the weekend experience for players in North America and the EU, so be sure to log in and compete. Each month will also feature a new Rank S player testing their skills against club members!
As a world leading gaming brand, MSI is the most trusted name in gaming and eSports. Have dedicated countless hours and resources to the eSports community to support the world's most aspiring and best gamers. Through MGA gaming tournaments, all amateur and professional gamers have a stage and numerous opportunities to prove their worth.

1) 3 short cuts to make healthy habits easy
We are programmed to preserve energy, so you could say that we are lazy by nature. However, you could use this to your advantage when it comes to creating healthy habits. E.g.:
– Improve access: Vegetables on the top fridge shelf makes them a 40% more likely snack option.
– Make unhealthy things harder to access: Make sure to keep sweets longer than an arms length away at social gatherings (so that you physiclaly have to stand up or ask some one to pass it to you, this will drastically decrease your consumption).
2) It is easy to remember to do what you enjoy!
It is always easier to find motivation to do something that is fun and rewarding… so look for enjoyable healthy habits to add to your day. It is the positive reward chemicals in your brain that enables you to ingrain your new habit into a recurring subconscious behaviour.
3) 3 things to keep consistent to building a successful habit fast
Essentially a habit is a set of actions done unconsciously in the same way over and over again. Hence when you are building a new habit it is important to be consistent. Ideally your habit should be done;
– at the same time,
– in the same place,
– in the same way each time.
Once you stick to a repetitive schedule it is amazing how fast it becomes second nature to you.
4) How to start a new healthy habit without forgetting it 2 days later
Many people fail to establish new healthy habits simply because they forget to do the new activity. Therefore, it's important to have some sort of trigger to stop you in your tracks and remind you of when to do this new habit. "after this… then that…" Linking a new routine to a recurring event in your schedule (like after my chiro appointment I…) or an existing habit (after I brush my teeth I…) can be a handy way to wire up your brain to remember.
5) Get yourself an accountability partner
Having an accountability partner is a great way to increase the likelihood of sticking to your healthy routine. A personal trainer or chiropractor can be an excellent accountability partner, since they have an interest in your health and typically see you pro-actively on a regular basis.

5 Italian fashion brands you need to know
When we think about Italian fashion we remember immediately the designers that the pride of BelPaese and we relate Italian style to concepts such as class, refinement, wearability and craftsmanship.
However, the high fashion Made in Italy not only includes names such as Armani, Versace, Fendi and Zegna, so we recommend 5 fashion brand that you should know, 5 designers who stand out for their strong personality and talent to create clothes and accessories suitable for the wardrobe of trendsetters.
The story of Boglioli isn't unusual in the context of haute couture: the company was founded in the early XX century and become a brand of international prestige in 1970. What distinguishes Boglioli is the style of high-end suits for men, refined in each detail.
One of the most recent collections, the Spring-Summer 2016, is inspired by Brazil in the 70's, combining the relaxed atmosphere in Bossa Nova mood with the softness of the colors of this collection, from ultramarine blue to creamy white.
Official website: www.boglioli.it.
If you have already been in Maremma, you probably know the origin of the name Buttero: they are our own cowboy, horse herders who take care of cattle.
The name Buttero interests us because since 1974 is a trademark of handmade shoes produced in Tuscany with exclusively local raw materials.
Buttero, brand owned by Sani's family, realizes shoes, boots and sneakers made with vegetable tanning process that strengthen the resistance and gives a worn look to shoes, in other words roughness embraces elegance.
Official website: www.buttero.it
On the shores of Lake Maggiore began the story of Herno, brand specializing in raincoats which owes its success to the intuition of Giuseppe Marenzi (the founder) and the particular climate in Lesa, in the province of Novara, which requires waterproof raincoats of excellent quality.
Today Herno focuses on innovation, with high-performance textiles and innovative machines perform heat-bonded taping and ultrasound stitching. This is why the winter coats Herno are lightweight and the brand has become increasingly in demand abroad.
We think that a brand that blends tradition and innovation is definitely a must-have.
Official website: www.herno.it
Pierre-Louis Mascia
Despite Pierre-Louis Mascia was born in France, is in Italy who designed his first collection of scarves, entrusting the production to the textile company Pinto.
The versatile scarves and foulards by Mascia are printed on both sides with a digital process on plotter, a technique that allows saving energy and creating a super refined product.
The overlap of different motifs is the common feature of Mascia's creation, which not coincidentally comes from the world of illustration.
His style was described as "the peaceful fight of Bauhaus strictness and Rococo abandon translated into a mix of control and anarchy".
Official website: www.pierrelouismascia.com
Paula Cademartori
The Made In Italy deluxe bags have now a landmark brand in addition to the most popular designers: Paula Cademartori, a brand born in 2010 by the inspiration of an Italian-Brazilian fashion designer.
Paula Cademartori, in fact, moved to Milan in 2005 and designs each of her bags as an object to collect, sealed with a metal buckle designed by her, by virtue of her experience in the jewelry field.
Currently she produces four collections a year and said in an interview that the best thing of working in Italy is that since the project until the final production is like creating a work of art, something unique and exciting.

Don't settle for the usual names for your luxury shopping, the future of fashion passes through here.

The best way to describe South Africa – fondly known as the Rainbow Nation – would be its diversity. An eclectic amalgamation of landscapes, cultures and languages make it one of the most extraordinary destinations in the world. This comprehensive and complete guide will give you everything you need to visit this incredible spot; from practical information and bucket-list items to the best places to catch a tan!
South Africa is the southernmost country in Africa and is surrounded by both the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. This beautiful country is also bordered by various countries. At 1, 219, 912 kilometres squared, South Africa is the 25th largest country in the world and is around double the size of France and five times the size of the United Kingdom.
Unlike most other countries, South Africa technically has three capitals; Pretoria (executive), Bloemfontein (judicial) and Cape Town (legislative).
Map of South Africa
South Africa is believed to have been inhabited over 100, 000 years ago. Since then, the country has gone through five distinct era's: pre-colonial, colonial, post-colonial, apartheid and now post-apartheid.
After a period of war, the country became a sovereign state known as the Republic of South Africa. One of the most known periods was apartheid which stretched from 1948-1994 and included racial segregation and discrimination. After many uprisings and international outcry, an election was held and Nelson Mandela elected president. With a new ruling party, the apartheid system was disbanded and a road to democracy began.
South Africa is a truly multi-cultural country and has become the melting pot it is today thanks to hugely diverse ancestry. We now celebrate a total of 11 official languages that add to the vibrancy of this wonderful land. There have been several influences and tribal migrations throughout the years;
The KhoiKhoi and San
The original aboriginal peoples of the lands, known as the first African artists seen due to the intricate rock paintings found throughout the country. The San are known as the true "Bushmen" with their incredible tracking and hunting skills.
These original groups were then joined by two others; the Bantu peoples from the north and Europeans emerging from the south.

The Zulu Culture
Looking at tradition, the Zulu's are well known for their warriors, beadwork, basketry and their unique grass huts in the shape of beehives. In the Zulu culture, there is not only a belief in ancestral spirits but appointed diviners who use herbs and prayers to cast away illness or evil spirits.

The Xhosa Culture
One of the main things to be admired about this culture is their incredibly complex dress code used to indicate the social standing of a person – whether they are married, their general rank or if they have a baby. For example, the more elaborate a person's hat, the more senior the position they hold. There is also a strong tradition of story-telling which largely conveys tales of ancestral heroes.

The Ndebele Culture
Elaborate, vibrant, geometric designs are one of the tell-tale signs of a Ndebele house. These skills and designs are passed from mother to daughter as well as inspired by their intricate beadworks. Traditionally, Ndebele women wear neck rings and blankets in striking colours.

Sotho Culture
The Sotho groups vary from that of the Nguni groups (Zulu, Xhosa, Ndebele and Swazi) in that they traditionally organise their homes into a village structure rather than more scattered settlements. The Sotho's are often grouped together with the BaTswana found largely in Gauteng and Botswana, and the BaPedi people found in the northern part of the country – even though they are in fact, distinctly separate groups.

The Tsonga Culture
Mostly located in the Kruger National Park area in Mpumalanga and parts of Mozambique, the Tsonga are a diverse collection nations. Though their most unusual delicacy is a Mopani worm that is usually fried in butter or dried – not to be missed if you're an adventurous visitor! A part of this culture is the Sangoma – otherwise known as a healer and spiritual guide.

The Venda Culture
The Venda culture is built on a rich and vibrant mythical belief system where rain and water, especially in rivers and lakes, is believed to be sacred. This belief and that of the spirit world has largely influenced the designs of Venda art as well as the ways in which their buildings are decorated.

Dutch Influences
Although there were several European cultures that influenced South Africa, the largest of which would have to be Dutch. This not only became the official European language – and later merged into what we know today as Afrikaans – but largely influenced the legal systems and architecture of the country.
It must be noted that the French Huguenots religious refugees who settled in what is now the Cape Winelands brought the art of winemaking to the region in around 1688.

South Africa is home to a host of incredible safari destinations and an incredibly diverse array of wildlife. These also range from more well-known spots like the Kruger to lesser-known hideaways in the Eastern Cape within our complete guide.
Kruger National Park
Known to be South Africa's most iconic game-viewing destination and the second largest park in the whole of Africa, Kruger is any wildlife lover's dream destination. As an incredibly well-established park, there are lodges, camps and tiny hideaways to suit every visitor. Not to mention, the park is known to have the highest density of Big 5 in South Africa – how could you resist a visit?

Western Cape Safaris
Fear not, if you're staying in Cape Town and Her surrounds, there's no need to travel too far for some safari adventuring. With several Reserves located just a few hours away from the Mother City, you can see the Big 5 and various other flora and fauna species without worrying about malaria. Two examples would be Aquila and Inverdoom Game Reserves located in the Klein Karoo.

Garden Route Safaris
The Garden Route is a spectacular self-drive ideal for travellers venturing from the Western to Eastern Cape with plentiful exciting malaria-free stops along the way. Just a short drive from Cape Town, Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is an ideal stop for a child-friendly safari experience including the Big 5, San rock art and the elusive white lion. Also located along this route is Addo Elephant Park, known to be the only national park to conserve the Big 7 – the Big 5 plus the Southern right whale and Great white shark. Other safari stops include Kwandwe Game Reserve and Shamwari Private Game Reserve – also not to be missed!
For more exciting activities to be found along this iconic route, read our complete guide to the Garden Route.

Eastern Cape Safaris
Bursting with flora and fauna, the Eastern Cape has malaria-free private game reserves dotted throughout the province taking advantage of both the bush and coastline. For bird-lovers, head to Shamwari Game Reserve to see the white-fronted bee-eater, Big 5 and other exciting wildlife. Amakhala, Lalibela and Sibuya game reserves are also worth looking into for your Eastern Cape safari adventure. Any fans of the Lion King should also add Pumba Game Reserve to their lists!

KwaZulu-Natal Safaris
Combining the best of the bush and beach with an abundance of wildlife and other sights to see, these rather under-utilised parks are a fantastic place to visit. Hluhluwe-Imfolozi National Park not only has the Big 5 and a vast array of aviary species, but the Emdoneni Cat Rehabilitation Project which enables up-close experiences with some of Africa's wild cats. iSimangaliso Wetland Park is another must-see with regards to safari adventures in this region.

South Africa is a year-round destination depending on what you want to do. Although summer is our hottest month, our winters are warmer than other parts of the world averaging around 19 degrees and warm days pop up in every season.
For safari-goers, May to October are the best months for an ultimate safari experience while those wanting to spend time on South Africa's incredible beaches should visit in the summer.
Clifton Beach, Cape Town, South Africa
South Africa is overflowing with incredible landscapes, sights and activities and with unlimited time, we'd love for you to see them all, but for now we've picked out a few we feel are not to be missed.
1. Table Mountain
A trip to our beautiful country seems incomplete if you didn't see or summit Table Mountain. Part of the New7Wonders of Nature and an icon of the Mother City, we feel this is an absolute must – so much so we even wrote a blog about tickets and general information!
The vibrant city of Cape Town as a whole is also simply not something to be missed, along with all the incredible sights within it.
2. The Cape Winelands
Home to some of the best wine in the world, this is not an experience to pass up. The Wine Route is also home to a large number of exceptional restaurants that are well worth the additions to your waistline. For this exact adventure, we developed a Tasting Guide to the Winelands.
3. The Whale Route
Although there is much to be done along this incredible route, one of the key activities is in the quaint seaside town of Hermanus, known to have the best land-based whale-watching in the world. The whales usually start to arrive at the end of May and leave in December so listen out for the local Whale Crier for hints of activity offshore.
4. Sun City
Known as South Africa's Vegas, this is the perfect spot to tee-off, unleash your poker prowess or get lost in the Valley of Waves.
5. The Panorama Route
This is the perfect route to travel to another of our top spots, Kruger National Park. Stop along this scenic meander to view God's Window, Blyde River Canyon, Bourke's Potholes and the Three Rondavels for spectacular scenery and incredible landscapes developed over centuries.
6. The West Coast
A haven for all water sports enthusiasts, this cherished coastline may be mistaken for one in the Indian Ocean Islands, but in fact, these palm trees and opalescent oceans are all ours.
Often the West Coast is also used to refer to the Cape's coastline where visitors go to see the incredible flowers in the West Coast National Park – read our 'Bloom Bashing' article for more information!

Fortunately, as the financial and commercial hub of Africa, Johannesburg's International Airport receives daily flights from around the world and makes South Africa one of the easiest countries to fly into from abroad. If you're wanting to head straight to the Mother City, fear not as their International Airport also receives its fair share of direct flights. Domestic flights around the country are also incredible frequent so flying here is not an issue!
Cars are easy to rent and roads are usually navigatable – just remember South Africa is a leftie country when it comes to driving! Our public transport has room to improve but the MyCiTi buses are generally reliable and have lots of convenient stops.

Take Social Tournament Games To Latin America As the competitive gaming market heats up, King.com and Yahoo! have struck a multi-national agreement to bring social tournament games to the Latin American market.By Azam Khan|August 3, 2011 Share By Azam Khan|August 3, 2011 Share As the competitive gaming market heats up, King.com and Yahoo! have struck a multi-national agreement to bring social tournament games to the Latin American market. More after the jump.The foray into the Latin American market is an extension of King.com's deal with Yahoo! to market its portfolio of games to Yahoo!'s users. Dubbed Yahoo! Juegos, the new venture will provide Yahoo! Hispanic consumers across seven countries with a plethora of games that have not been disclosed.King.com has been actively making strides when it comes to cross platform games, but the definition remains ambiguous. Regardless, King.com's roll out of Mahjong Saga on Facebook has been seeing strong growth and currently has close to 2.7MMAUs. With a solid focus on individual games and developing a community around them. These casual social games, or social tournament games, are casual in nature but induce players with a competitive spirit. Such social puzzle games were pioneered by PopCap's Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook and now many companies including SocialPoint have an array of casual games with leaderboards, virtual items, and quick game play. In addition, players can challenge each other and participate in time-limited competitions in order to win virtual currency, items, or even real gift cards. In February SuperData Research released a report that anticipates the Brazilian virtual goods market to reach $642M by 2014 with Brazil comprising the majority of that share (~320M). The most popular social game publisher in Latin America is Mentez, with over 4M users across Facebook, Orkut and other SNS. King.com could see solid growth in Latin America as it currently has over 27 million unique visitors and more than 800 million games played per month globally. King.com offers more than 200 exclusive games in 14 languages across the globe through its premier destination, King.com (www.king.com), on Facebook and on mobile devices.

Reid Seaby, Agfarm Regional Manager WA
This week Henry Davis and I spent some time on the road traveling to Esperance, visiting stores and catching up with growers along the way. We left Perth via the Brookton Highway passing through Brookton, Corrigan, Hyden and Ravensthorpe. As a general comment there is a relatively consistent level of emergence, but as you'd expect, the further east we drove the drier it appeared to get. An area 30-40km west of Corrigan was the most advanced and looking particularly good. Closer to Esperance there is an increased amount of variability in crops, both in terms of emergence and progression. These regions will likely face challenges with post-emergence sprays, given the inconsistent maturity.
Our return trip to Perth was via Jerramungup, Gnowangerup and Kattaning, crops between Gnowangerup and Kattaning were the most advanced but once again emergence appears to be quite consistent.
Given recent rain events growers now have the ability and confidence to take advantage of the strength we have seen in grain markets over recent weeks. Having said that, grower targets for APW1 sit around the $320/MT level, while it seems most growers took advantage of the high barley prices earlier on in the piece.
Mostly modest losses across the board this week with wheat markets closing $2-$6/MT lower.
Below is a quick video from myself and Henry Davis about where we went on our trip, what we saw on the road and what the grain markets are doing.
Prices as at 21st June

Tips for buying your first car
Have you just passed your driving test and decided to finally take the plunge and buy your first car? Congratulations! After all those hours of lessons and studying, it's finally time for the fun part. Although buying your first car can come with stressful moments, if you follow our handy tips, it can be incredibly exciting and one of those moments to remember.
Stay calm and plan
Choosing your first car can be a daunting task, especially with the amount of choice out there. How many doors? What litre engine? What size? What colour? Our tip is to take a step back and focus on the things you need from your first car. We can guarantee that the biggest deciding factor is budget so start by working out what you can afford. Remember to take into account ALL of your other outgoings. By narrowing down your budget, you'll find that this starts to narrow down your choices.
Think of what you need the car for. Is it just social use, out and about at the weekends? Or is it for work, will you be driving long distances? This could determine what size of engine you need, how much you can afford to pay in road tax or even if you prefer petrol, diesel or electric?
Remember, it's often wise, for your first car, to stick to one that is practical – there will be plenty of time later for that turbo roadster you've had your eye on!
Understand finance
While most of us had to settle for an old banger for our first car, with today's finance deals, buying a car on finance is becoming more accessible for young people. But although it seems simple, it's important to understand the various levels of finance before you sign on the dotted line. Deals vary from leasing (PCP and PCH), personal loans to credit cards, so our advice is to do as much research as possible. Look at the length of the finance term, how much you can afford to pay per month, what the risks are if you fail to pay and if there are any restrictions? For car finance explained in full, click here.
Where to buy?
When it comes to finding the right place to buy to your first car, there are various options. If you're opting for a brand-new car then a franchised dealer is the best place to buy that straight-from-the-factory model. If you're looking for a used car, or delivery mileage, then visit your local dealer. Fancy checking out all the dealers in your area? Then Exchange and Mart and s1cars are the place to find your first car. We have thousands of used cars from local, trusted dealers throughout the UK, with prices to suit your budget. Plus, we're open 24/7.
Don't forget about insurance
This is a biggie and can often be neglected. If you're a young driver you may find it can be expensive initially, but there are things you can do to help lower the price. Try piggy-backing onto a parent's policy as a named driver, although this comes with its own risks like driving up the existing policy or affecting your parent's no claims bonus. Other insurers offer discount for safer drivers by fitting trackers to your car, monitoring speed and driving techniques. Although you may need to pay the higher price for a few years, it's worth it to be confident that you have the right cover and protection should you need it.
Quick tips
- Learn to haggle – you might bag an even bigger bargain.
- Always take the car for a test drive.
- Think carefully about colour.
- Avoid costly add-ons.
- Do your research.

Or, at least, where you are keeps moving.
I recently picked up the tome that is The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe by Roger Penrose. This is not a book for everyone; it is a book for people with the education and ability to allow them to grasp complex mathematical equations. That is to say, not me.
Regardless, he has some interesting ideas, and I especially like his description of our place in the universe. As we go about our days brushing our teeth and sitting down to our dinner tables, the world around us feels so stable and stationary. But we are, in fact, hurtling through the atmosphere.
He asks us to pick a fixed point on Earth—perhaps where you are right now. Take out your imaginary black marker and draw a dot on your spot. (The dot will stay in that place, and you will move on.) Ten minutes from now the Earth will have rotated—and you along with it—to a position about 10 miles away from your original black marker dot. But that's not all, the Earth is also moving around the sun, so in fact you will be about 100 times farther away, but in the opposite direction, and the earth will have moved so far away that your dot will be beyond the Earth's atmosphere. And then the sun moves around the centre of the Milky Way galaxy, which is a part of clusters and super clusters, and so on, and so on . . .. In a mere ten minutes, you will have moved unbelievably, mind-bogglingly far through space.
I find this idea comforting somehow.
The perspective helps me to sort out what is really important. Does it matter that my library book is overdue, or that I just spotted a new wrinkle? No! We're all just hurtling through space.

Clemson Tailgating Boosters Enjoy Charter Flights to Away Games
Many college football fans are serious about bringing the "home court advantage" to away games.
The most die-hard Clemson Tiger Tailgaters feel duty-bound to ensure there is a respectable showing of orange in the stadium, no matter how far they need to travel when the Tigers play somewhere other than Death Valley (AKA Clemson Memorial Stadium.)
To illustrate how supportive they are of their beloved Tigers, Clemson tailgating fans started a tradition. They of use $2 bills stamped with orange tiger paws to show the amount of money Tiger fans spend at away games.
The traditional options for getting to away games include either an airline ticket or a road trip. The Clemson diaspora use the same methods to get "home" for home games. Greenville is NOT the easiest place to get to via airline, so using SSC to fly private might actually be the cheapest flights to Greenville!
Facebook and YouTube are full of anecdotes of airline security indignities. Restrictions, delays, and "less than optimal" customer service experiences abound.
Road trips can be fun, but may not be optimal for some groups or families, or for people with demanding work schedules.
Some fans are discovering a much more pleasant third option – chartering a plane for a tailgating trip.
Some of the nations largest schools such as Penn State and the University of Texas own private planes.
But why should the schools, coaches and teams have all the fun? But aren't Charter flights expensive?
Many fans believe that tailgating by chartering private flights to away games would be expensive. But tailgating with a group changes the economics of the trip.
Airline ticket prices can vary widely. Checked baggage and other fees add up, and fares can run in the neighborhood of $800 per person. This can make the total cost for a group of eight to $6400.
Driving time for the same trip would be less expensive, but would take about 13 hours.
By contrast, chartered trips may not be as pricey as one would expect. Smaller groups can charter smaller planes, such as the luxurious Cirrus SR22 (for up to four passengers.)
Private flights usually cost more, but when divided among multiple fans, the cost can be competitive.
Chartered flights can accommodate the scheduling desires of the group. Many of the restrictions that apply to airlines don't apply to private aviation. So fans may be able to bring that bottle of champagne to celebrate a victory (or to console fans in the event of a defeat, should such a travesty occur.)
Flights to Greenville SC, flights to Clemson SC, flights to Louisville KY, flights to Blacksburg VA, and others are not typical airline destinations! They are inconveniently far from the large international airports.
And yet, these types of flights are our bread and butter!
Special Services Corporation provides charter services in the Southeast US. We specialize in getting clients from one place to another with convenience and value. Many of our passengers are children, elderly folks, and others with special needs. We accommodate ground transportation, luggage preferences, and even snack preferences.
"Just let us know what you need," said Doug Goldstrom, President of Marketing and Sales at SSC. "We'll even help you stamp those $2 bills."

Area of inside contour of continuous function?
- To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net
- Subject: [mg84229] Area of inside contour of continuous function?
- From: Gareth Russell <russell at njit.edu>
- Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:57:42 -0500 (EST)
Hi Group, I have a two-parameter smooth continuous function f[x_,y_] that is unimodal (it's a log-likeihood function), and I know maxf, the height of the peak. I would like to calculate the area inside a contour that is a given number of units u below the peak. What is the easiest way to do this? My own idea is to construct a separate function with discontinuities along the lines of g[x_,y_]:=If[f[x,y]>(maxf-u),1,0] And do numerical integration over a region big enough to contain the contour (which of course, I can see from a ContourPlot). But am I missing something much easier? Searching the mathgroup archives I came across how to find the area of a discrete polygon, so I realize that another method would be to extract the contour data from the ContourPlot object and apply that, but it seems like a bit of hack! Thanks, Gareth -- Gareth Russell NJIT
