Although Legionella is common in nature, it mainly lives in water, and outbreaks occur from water systems in buildingtorage systems, as well as shower heads and whirl pool spas, etc. The bacteria can multiply where water temperature in some or all of the system is between 20 & 46 °C, where water is re-circulated or stored, and where there is rust, sludge, organic matter, biofilms or other sources of nutrients. The greatest risk to humans then comes when there is the possibility of water droplets being produced and dispersed over a wide area, which can be inhaledOur legionella consultants are fully qualified & compliant in accordance with the HSE & HSC guidelines.

en | N/A | N/A | This contrast applies to the US report on NBIC convergence for improving human performance and its European counterpart CTEKS (HLEG, 2004). CTEKS involve a process of agenda-setting that matches technical capability with social imagination. Of course, visions of human enhancement might enter into this agenda-setting process. But how likely is it that immortality, thought-controlled machines or individualistic enhancements of memory will rank highly among the needs of ageing societies in a world of scarce resources? Therefore, if the CTEKS report rejects engineering of the body or of the mind in favour of engineering for body and mind, this owes not primarily to ethical conservativism or considerations of technical feasibility. Rather it reflects the fact that engineering of body and mind represents an inefficient and unoriginal use of technology.
To be sure, as we mobilize scientific and technological resources to address urgent problems of today, this will have consequences for tomorrow's people. Even if we cannot foresee these consequences, they need to be a matter of concern and may even serve to motivate a responsive engineering practice. If, as James Martin suggested, we will better manage a planet with scarce resources by spreading literacy worldwide (and using cheap computers to do so), there is hardly a more positive vision for the creation of 'tomorrow's people'.
# BROAD COMMITMENTS
By sharply rejecting the second approach (confronting a merely imagined future) and endorsing instead a process of agenda-setting for technological development, I appear to be endorsing a European as opposed to an American approach: instead of individualistic consumerism, I recommend technologies with a defined societal benefit. In the place of technology as an avenue for human salvation and the achievement of transcendence, I view technology as a highly negotiated and ultimately political construct. Committed neither to ethical conservatism nor to economic neo-liberalism, I am recommending a democratic process that integrates social and technical change.
And yet, I fail to see in all of this a specifically European regionalism. The science-based development of technology is rooted in a tradition of truth-seeking, criticism and enlightenment, the same tradition that produced the political constitutions not only of the US and Europe. The critical recognition of limits of feasibility, the creation of spaces for political deliberation and agenda-setting, and the expectation of societal benefit from public investment hardly reflect merely regional commitments, but are valued in all parts of the world. The question is only whether these commitments are asserted in public debate and the formulation of sound science policy.
To be sure, the present reflections do not provide an argument why 'smart environments' belong among the currentwhy 'immortality' or 'brain implants' do not. Here, I can merely enjoin my readers at least to insist on such distinctions. I shall provide additional technical detail in the more extensive versions of this text.
Also, James Martin in his opening remarks to the James Martin Institute 2006 World Forum called for science and technology to respond to the big problems that are now facing humankind. To be sure, he also referred in his presentation to cognitive enhancements and the like. But he left open whether these can contribute to the solution of the global warming, water supply problems and so on. These enhancement technologies merely took their place on a generously conceived lists of 'things to come', a list that is not to be counted on as we begin to address the big challenges.
Interestingly, transhumanist visions do not normally begin by inviting public agenda-setting, but simply by postulating that the technology and thus the transhumanism will come.
# Personality Enhancement and Transfer
We can distinguish three interrelated tasks that lead step-by-step from simple tools assisting humans in their ordinary lives to
1 personality enhancement: increasing the cognitive, affective and social functioning and scope of a person through artificial means like information technology;
2 personality capture: entering substantial information about a person's mental and emotional functioning into a computer or information system, sufficiently detailed to permit a somewhat realistic simulation; and
3 personality emulation: allowing a captured personality to act and perceive in the world, by means of artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, sensors or possible biological embodiment.
The convergence of cognitive and information technologies will promote the convergence of enhancement, capture and emulation. As human beings use ever more sophisticated information systems, their tools become extensions of themselves, their personalities expand into cyberspace and they can begin to transcend location in bodies that exist only briefly in a limited domain of space. Information technology applications must become knowledgeable about the user in order to serve him or her, so systems will perform personality capture incidentally to doing other work. This path leads in small, practical steps from minor human enhancements, to self-transformation, to cyberimmortality (Bainbridge, 2002a, 2002b, 2004a, 2004b and 2005).
# MOBILE AND UBIQUITOUS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Henry Kautz,, is a leader in developing computer systems for assistive cognition. The aim is to help people suffering from cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease, which requires the computer to become aware of the context surrounding the user, to learn how to interpret the user's behaviour and to offer appropriate help when it appears that the person is failing to reach a goal. One project employs a pocket computer with a global positioning system for users travelling around the city of Seattle, not merely to monitor where the user is but to deduce where he wants to go and guide him if he gets lost (Liao et al, 2005). Another research study employs a glove with radio frequency identification equipment to infer from the movements of a person's hand what activity he is engaged in (Patterson et al. 2005). And comparing sensor methodologies for mapping social interactions among a number of people, to understand the dynamics of their social network and their individual positions in it.
At the University of Michigan, Martha Pollack has been working with several colleagues in developing automatic methods for helping elderly people plan their activities, which requires the computer to learn the habits and preferences of the users (Pollack, 2005). Also at Michigan, Edmund Durfee has been involved in projects to develop computerized planning approaches and methods to coordinate the actions of multiple artificial intelligence agents. Now, with NSF support, Durfee and Pollack have teamed up to develop socio-cognitive orthotic systems, designed to help individuals and groups manage their social relations. The elderly have one set of problems with social relations, but young people who are strangers to each other have other problems. At the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Quentin Jones is developing a system for students that will map users in time and space, identifying opportunities to introduce students with similar interests to each other.
Rosalind Picard is a pioneer in the field of affective computing, developing artificial intelligence systems that sense and respond appropriately to human emotions, and she has established an affective computing research group Picard, 1997). Picard envisions a time when an artificial intelligence software agent might be able to help a recovering drug addict by providing constant attention, based on a deep understanding of the user's feelings and challenges. Picard's current NSF research grant supports development of a social-emotional intelligence prosthetic that would help people who have difficulty reading the feelings and reactions of other people or expressing themselves competently, who are sometimes (wrongly) diagnosed . A portable system that is alert to non-verbal cues would observe the user or people he or she is interacting with, then unobtrusively advise the user.
These are only a few of the research projects that are developing new technologies to assist the disabled, and potentially to assist anyone, in conducting some of the difficult personal business of life. Importantly, these systems, and the AI must adapt to the individual user. Thus, the intelligent agent in the device becomes a reflection of the user, possessing intimate information about the user's feelings and activities. A somewhat different approach involves systems designed to record everything a person experiences, while moving through the complex real world, either to gather information of practical value to other people or to assemble an archive of the individual's life.

Debug Info Removed </s> The Albany–Fraser Orogen is located along the southern margin of the Yilgarn Craton and is host to the world-class Tropicana orogenic gold deposit and Nova–Bollinger mafic-hosted Ni–Cu deposit. Both deposits are associated with major crustal structures. With support from the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS), an MT survey was conducted along four main profiles, their locations chosen to complement the deep crustal seismic reflection lines. A total of 163 magnetotelluric soundings was conducted in the Albany–Fraser Orogen during 2013. These soundings have provided 2D and 3D conductivity models of the crust and uppermost lithospheric mantle. The models reveal a resistive upper crust that is crosscut by several near-vertical low-resistivity zones, which in some cases can be correlated with the location of major shear zones. Preliminary results were presented at a workshop in 2014, with extended abstracts presented in GSWA Record 2014/6 Albany–Fraser extended abstracts.

GAO spotlights FDA’s COVID-related drug inspection backlog
o complete more than 1,000 of its drug inspections, putting the quality of drugs sold on the US market at riskeport to a House subcommittee yesterday.
Concerns over this backlogpandemic has continued, and in GAO’s testimony it underscores its inspection-related recommendations from January while adding further insights into inspection trends and potential barriers.
“… .”
Pre-COVID efforts to increase inspections
GAO has been warning about deficiencies in FDA drug inspections for years. In 2009, it flagged inspection quantities, particularly foreign ones, as a high-risk issue, so the FDA worked to increase its output, peaking in 2016 with 1,917 inspections (1,035 foreign, 882 domestic). The proportion of foreign inspections also increased, overtaking domestic ones beginning in 2015 with much of the focus on China (31.2% of 2019’s foreign inspections) and India (17.1%).
From then on, though, inspections flagged. In 2019, the agency reported 977 foreign inspections and 694 domestic ones, for a total of 1,671—a 12.8% overall decrease but still above the 1,500 capacity it projected. Part of the reason for the decline, the FDA said, was because of staffing vacancies.
Then COVID-19 hit, and to protect its workers, the FDA stopped almost all inspections in March 2020. While alternatives were used for partial or substitute inspections, the testimony reiterates the January report’s recommendation of not only conducting a comprehensive assessment of these alternatives but also creating a concrete plan to make up the backlog.
Fifty-two domestic inspections were able to occur from March to October 2020, but investigators conducted only three foreign inspections, each considered critical. One was in India for a preapproval of chloroquine phosphate tablets, but two were for-cause inspections in Canada and Germany for hand sanitizer and the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for nifurtimox, respectively. Nifurtimox is a drug used to treat Chagas disease and sleeping sickness.
In March to October of each of the previous 2 years, the FDA has been able to conduct more than 600 foreign inspections.
As of May 2020, the FDA says that 74% of API manufacturers and 54% of finished drugs are made overseas before being sold in the US market.
“If inspections continue to be postponed, the backlog of mandatory inspections this will create could both FDA’s 5-year policy and reduce the resources available in fiscal year 2022 for inspecting the other highest priority establishments identified by its [risk-based] model,” GAO writes, reiterating its January report.
Barriers to smooth, credible inspections
The GAO testimony says that, since the January report came out, the FDA has been working on assessing inspection alternatives. However, announcing inspections up to 12 weeks in advance, another issue the report brought up, has not been resolved in a standardized way.
Pre-COVID, GAO was concerned about the equity of these announcements, because, at the time, the FDA was commonly giving foreign manufacturers up to 12 weeks to prepare while showing up for surprise inspections at domestic manufacturing sites. The FDA said this was partially because foreign inspections required more coordination, but in accordance with GAO’s advice, it earmarked $3.5 million to enable more unannounced foreign inspections in fiscal year 2021.
The implementation of such a pilot program is on hold because of the pandemic, but the GAO testimony clarifies that a few unannounced foreign inspections already happen in normal fiscal years. In fiscal year 2018, investigators from the China office accounted for 27% of FDA inspections in the country and usually gave between 0 to 5 days’ notice, and in the same year, India office investigators accounted for 10% of the country’s inspections and gave the same notice range.
Other barriers the GAO testimony pointed out—inadequate staffing, language barriers, and schedules too packed to allow for investigation extensions—were not connected with pandemic disruptions. For instance, although the FDA in June reaffirmed its goal to fill those vacancies by the end of 2020, openings remain. According to the agency, finding suitable candidates can be difficult in part because it prefers to use people who have 2 to 3 years of experience.
“It will be important for FDA to utilize lessons that it haits foreign drug inspection program, including efforts to identify alternative mechanisms to satisfy foreign inspection requirements and plans to address its growing backlog of inspections,” GAO concludes. |

What I took this to at first was that LGBTQ people can do what they want, just don't hold hands/kiss/hug in public. However, I realized that my cousin was not just talking about LGBTQ people. He would prefer it if no one showed any signs of physical affection in public. He is not the first person I ever met that finds public displays of affection (PDA) uncomfortable, so I just dropped the subject.
The next day we were discussing movies. My cousin said that he highly recommends the new Quentin Tarantino movie, Django Unchained. I said that I do not like most Tarantino movies because I do not like gore for the sake of gore in movies. My cousin could not disagree more. He told me that he loves great action movies and that violence does not bother him. And just like my cousin, millions, upon millions love to go watch action movies full of gore and violence. I myself like a good action movie, or war movie if I think it is made well and has a good story. And just like my cousin, society at large has less of a problem with violence than they do with PDA. And when I thought about it like that, I became quite annoyed.
If a movie has a a scene where a bunch of people are shot, or blown up, it will get a PG-13 rating (meaning the movie is suited for 13 year old teens and up). If a movie has a minimal about of sexuality in it, it will be given a rating of R (meaning the movie is suited for 17 year old people and up). Why is it that violence and killing is less offensive to children and the public at large than love and sex? Why is is that America has a culture that guns are passed down from father to son, but many parents cannot accept that their teenagers and young adult children might be sexually active? Why is it that graphic slasher movies are main stream, but pornography is considered one of the most offensive things in society? Why is violence glorified and sex and love are shunned?
Hey - just stumbled on your blog from 20-something bloggers. Interesting point you bring up here and it annoys me too. If the argument was to live and let live, I don't see why someone's public display of affection should affect anyone but the people publicly displaying affection.
And yes, the world is obsessed with violence. I guess people believe it makes for better stories, but I don't see why love can't cause the same reactions.
I;m so glad you came across my blog and thanks for commenting. I agree. I also do not get why those that say they want small government and that is why they need guns are also the people that say the government should stop me from getting married.
People I find will twist their religious/political/philosophical beliefs to fit whatever feelings they might have at that moment about any subject.
i actually ironically enuf agree with you fully. i often have talks with him about his beliefs and esp the way he sees other people- he has obviously never seen you in a sitch of PDA, so i am speaking more about movies, tv etc. i feel like people can behave how they like, and esp our family members, we need to support their lives and whatever they want to do- we do not agree on everything, but still have a great marriage.
i dont want to defend him, or speak on his behalf, bc i honestly dont know what his response is to what you've written.
i do know that at the end of the night, he told you that he was sorry if he offended you. i feel like he is just trying to wrap his head around it all, in light of your parents passing. he def isnt trying to be disrespectful to u. he loves you.
im blabbing, its normal to defend your husband, but i know what you're saying. sry ami!
Seriously, this was not meant as an attack on anyone, especially not Yitz. It was just an observation that the conversation lead me to.
And it is OK to disagree. Not everyone will agree with everyone. That is just life.
I do find this dichotomy particularly strong in the United States. Canadian standards are slightly more accepting of nudity/sex, and slightly less of violence. Europeans are even more tolerant of nudity. [Since I'm a nerd, I bought an international selection of pregnancy magazines during my first pregnancy. American women, it seems, are expected to breastfeed and birth babies without any photos actually showing the process.] |

en | N/A | N/A | Outside of polygamy, the Book of Abraham is probably my biggest barrier to faith in Joseph Smith's work. The LDS church has recently released an essay discussing issues with the translation of the Book of Abraham that can be found here. I'll summarize what the highlights were for me:
We don't have any recorded accounts of how the translation took place.
Joseph Smith's 'Egyptian Grammar' document is not accurate.
"Long before the fragments were published by the Church, some Egyptologists had said that Joseph Smith’s exs." I will discuss this below.
Egyptologists state that all surviving fragments are funerary texts that date much later than the time of Abraham.
The essay states that there might be a broader definition of the word 'translate', suggesting that Joseph may have just studied the papyri and received a revelation. Maybe so, but I think that if we can broaden definitions of words that far, words pretty much cease to have much meaning.
The essay states that, "e" The essay then cites the example of human sacrifices in Chaldea or as the Book of Abraham calls it the "land of the Chaldeans." This is an odd example to cite to support the Book of Abraham's authenticity since the Chaldeans were a people that only existed between the 10th and 6th centuries BC, more than a thousand years after the life of Abraham, and after the flood was supposed to have occurred around 2300 BC.
But anyway, the real problem for me with respect to the Book of Abraham's authenticity is Facsimile 3, and I'll explain why. The issue is that Joseph Smith makes claims about what specific characters mean in the picture. For example, the explanation for Figure 2 states, The explanation for Figure 4 says, "" Figure 5 says, " Now it turns out that Figure 2 is really Isis, Figure 4 is really Maat, and Figure 5 is really Hor, the dead guy for whom the scrolls were made. The characters above them actually do say who each one of them is, but it does not match what Joseph Smith said. The problem is that Joseph Smith, working in his prophetic capacity, makes falsifiable claims that are indeed false. If he can be wrong about the translation of characters in Facsimile 3, this implies to me that he could be wrong about other things.
As historical context, when Joseph was working on the Book of Abraham, the fact that these characters could be deciphered was largely unknown in the American frontier. The Rosetta Stone had been deciphered about 10 years previous to the publication of the Book of Abraham, but that probably would not have been known to Joseph Smith. Had Joseph been making the book up, he would have probably thought that he could make whatever claims he wanted about the meaning of Egyptian characters and nobody could prove them false.
At some point in my questioning of my Mormon faith I decided to honestly ask myself the question, "what would it look like if Joseph Smith had made up the Book of Abraham?" I had to admit to myself that it would probably look a lot like it does, with Joseph overreaching and making some claims that could be proven false. It was not a happy thing to realize.
Another thing that I thought about was that if the Book of Abraham was the work of God, why would God want to have so much confusion surrounding its provenance and the validity of its translation? It would seem like he was purposely making it look like fraud. In fact, I think that if you asked random non-Mormons what they thought of all of this they would overwhelmingly say that the mistranslation of the characters in facsimile by Joseph would make it seem like he made it up.
For my LDS friends, to imagine how a non-Mormon would view this, imagine that David Koresh came into possession of some Sumerian clay tablets and claimed that they were were engraved by King David's own hand and contain a prophecy that David Koresh would be a great prophet. When scientists examine and translate the tablets, they turn out to be a fragment of the Epic of Gilgamesh that dates to more than 1000 years before the life of King David. Would we not sit and wonder why Koresh's followers can't see that there is something really wrong here?
It seems like a God that would want truth to appear false would be what is referred to as a trickster God, and I can't bring myself to believe in a trickster God, a God who plants contrary evidence and expects you to believe unbelievable things just to see if you will follow along.
You see, I have a hobby interest in cults. I find it interesting how they work psychologically. A lot of cults have beliefs that are crazy to normal people. When followers start to detect how crazy things are and ask too many questions, the go-to answer from cult leadership is frequently some variation of "God is testing you, you need to have faith despite the fact that this is very difficult to believe and doesn't make sense to you." T works extremely well to keep people in belief systems that are obviously false, like the Heaven's Gate cult or David Koresh's cult, etc. I want my tools that I use to discover truth to be tools that would be effective no matter where I started, not tools that would only be effective at keeping me from changing my beliefs no matter what. I mean, what if I were born into the Heaven's Gate cult? Hopefully I would question that religion like crazy and notice that it doesn't make sense and leave, right?
For me, there is something majorly not right about the notes in Facsimile 3 not matching their actual translation. There have been various explanations given by apologists for why this could possibly not be a problem but all of them pretty much boil down to ignoring what seems extremely probable (that Joseph Smith simply made them up) and focusing on some very improbable but possible explanation. I was raised in a church that claimed that God wanted everybody to be a part of this church. Why place these types of barriers to faith before us? Would that not stop many honest people from joining God's true church? The common response is that it is a test of faith. If that type of test of faith is good, why not make things completely absurd? If that is how God operates, maybe Heaven's Gate was his true church. I mean it is the most difficult thing I can imagine to have faith in, so if I did manage to have faith in it wouldn't that prove that I was awesome at having faith?
What it comes down to for me is that the only God I could believe in would be one who gives tests with a purpose and I cannot detect a purpose in God requiring me to believe in the translation of the Book of Abraham. You can believe unbelievable things and still be a horrible person and you can have no faith in anything supernatural and be kind and compassionate. If I hypothetically assume that God wants me to believe in this, I guess it all seems like a huge distraction from what I think would be the primary goal of a just and loving God: getting people to behave better and show more kindness, compassion, and understanding to their fellow man.

en | N/A | N/A | Two city councillors say it’s time to consider reopening a police station in Victoria Park in light of an uptick in crime and disorder in the area.
The satellite station in Victoria Park, located just north of Stampede Park on 11th Avenue S.E., closed in late 2017. At the time, the Calgary Police Service argued the station was one of its slowest, receiving an average of only 17,000 visits annually.
While Calgary police deployed a mobile command vehicle to roam the inner city, the closure forced those wanting to report a crime in person to travel to the District 1 office in Ramsay or the Chinook Centre community station.
“Two years through, we’ve seen huge increases in crime, break-and-enters, violence in the downtown core, and I think now more than ever this decision needs to be reviewed,” said Farkas.
Calgary police statistics show calls for service have continued to rise since the Safeworks supervised dbecame fully operational in April 2018.
But Farkas said the mobile unit is not as “approachable” as the old station.
“I do grant that it is effective in a certain way, but I don’t think you can beat having that brick and mortar police station,” he said.
Calgary police commission chair Brian Thiessen, meanwhile, said the city is showing poor financial planning.
Farkas and Farrell plan to present an administrative inquiry to council at next Monday’s meeting, asking city staff as well as Calgary police commission board members Jyoti Gondek and Ward Sutherland for information about whether a physical station would be feasible.
“We remain the only major city in North America without a police station in our downtown,” Woolley said. |

Now – before you get on your stirrups and mount the proverbial high horse – we are not sitting here in our tower of green ivory advocating that Internal Audit should become or revert to being a covert policeman role.
What we are actually holding out as a suggestion is that Internal Audit forgets about the mantra of “Internal Audit as a Business Partner” that is in everyone’s mandate and actually consider whetherinternal audit skill set to be anonymously embedded into high risks functions under the guise of another role description.
Lets deal with the first question first. The second question is for you, dear kind reader, to determine.
In our mind, the Internal Auditor as a Policeman openly seeks to enforce policies, procedures and guidelines that others have devised.
Just as with real life cops – the Internal Auditor as a Policeman can know no subjectivity.
A rule is a rule. And ultimately that is this approach’s downfall. It has no flexibility.
(That – and the fact that just as with real cops – people tend to be scared or at least act differently around such figures of conferred authority).
Conversely, the Internal Auditor as a Business Partner (aahhh … 1994 … the first time that a consultant dreamt up this phrase … happy 20th Anniversary!) seeks to work with the business to encourage compliance based on a call to the best angels of Management’s intentions.
The problem with the Internal Auditor as a Business Partner is that the person and the role can be captured by a devious Management seeking to avoid greater scrutiny of a function or a process.
The key tenement of Internal Audit – independence of judgment – is tainted by definition if you are partnering when that partnering takes the form of the creation and sustainment of joint goals.
Hence McLeod Governance is putting forward another alternative today in this never ending democracy of ideas.
We are not actually sure how we would engineer it (ie – how do you get someone into a role and then tell them that they actually have two hats one of which can never be seen) … but if we could … we think that there would be enormous benefits in Internal Auditors being embedded into business units.
It would be their role to see what is happening when the intense, pre-scheduled light of independent assurance is not present.
It would be their role to document precisely the processes by (Everyone knows that a process as defined to Internal Audit by Management is rarely exactly how the process works in real time).
It would be their role to seek to improve processes where the processes needed improving.
It would be their role to promulgate best practices where such endeavours are noted.
One that has so many logical, philosophical and legal challenges that it doesn’t bode well already?
However, just when you think that it is not worth pursuing.
And if the answer is yes – then you have your answer.
The only reason that you now know what you know about buying and selling cars is that someone did what we are now suggesting.

en | N/A | N/A | Intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma are uncommon. Preoperative diagnosis of parotid tumour as schwannoma is difficult when facial nerve function is normal. A rare case of solitary schwannoma involving the upper branch of the facial nerve is described and the literature on the subject is reviewed.

Shah H K, Kantharia C, Shenoy A S. Intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma. J Postgrad Med 1997;43:14
A schwannoma is an ectodermal benign encapsulated tumour arising from Schwann cells[1]. Neurogenic neoplasms of the facial nerve are uncommon[2]. Schwannoma of the acoustic or VIIIth nerve are the well described[2]. Very few originate from the facial nerve and in the majority of these cases, the tumour involves the intratemporal seventh nerve[3]. The following case is presented because it appeared as a non-symptomatic parotid tumour with normal seventh nerve function and intraoperatively as a cystic tumour involving the upper branch of facial nerve.
A 30-year-old female presented with a six month history of a gradually enlarging left parotid mass. She denied any facial weakness, twitching or pain. Examination revealed a 3 x 4 cm cystic non-tender mobile mass over the masseter muscle. Facial nerve function as well as the remainder of head and neck examination was normal. Intraoperatively, the parotid gland was normal. A cystic swelling of 3x4 cm was located at the anterior part of parotid gland. The main trunk of the facial nerve was normal and was dissected anteriorly. Extreme peripheral and upper branches had become incarcerated into the mass. Electrical stimulation of the mass elicited facial motion. The mass was removed and a superficial parotidectomy was performed. Postoperatively, the patient developed facial weakness of upper half of the face, which improved partially in a week. Histological examination revealed a benign schwannoma [Figure - 1]. Three months postoperatively, facial nerve function improved significantly.
Benign schwannoma is a slow growing encapsulated tumour arising from the neuroectodermal sheath of Schwann. Approximately 25-30% of all reported schwannomas occur in the head and neck and most of these in the eighth nerve[2]. Among 802 parotid tumours Eneroth[4] could demonstrate two cases with neurogenic origin and in a review of 700 parotidectomies Nussbaum[5] found only one case of neurilemmoma of the facial nerve.
Neurilemmomas of the facial nerve may arise from its extratemporal or intratemporal course. The main symptoms are usually of facial weakness or paralysis[1],[3]. Much attention has been given to intratemporal seventh nerve neurilemmomas. In our case, the tumour was involving the upper branch of the facial nerve with normal facial nerve function.
The difficulty in establishing a correct preoperative diagnosis has been pointed out by Conley and Janecka[6] because this tumour is infrequent and generally unsuspected. Preoperative facial nerve paresis or paralysis was found in 20% of all cases[6]. This is remarkable because it is well known that facial nerve paresis or paralysis is associated with a malignant parotid tumour.
Neurogenic tumours should be suspected intraoperatively when they are inseparable from the nerve and electrical stimulation of the tumour elicits facial movement. Surgical resection remains the definitive treatment although benign tumours associated with normal facial function may be carefully followed with serial electroneurography and computerized tomography when electrical testing reveals minimal evidence of progressive neural degeneration[7].
On gross examination, the tumour is well encapsulated. The cut surface is relatively homogenous, glistening, tan or gray with irregular yellow areas and variable cystic degeneration. The tumour is often adherent to the nerve. Microscopically, the tumour shows two patterns, Antoni Type A i.e. cells are spindle shaped, compactly arranged with long oval nuclei oriented with their long axis parallel to each other (nuclear palisading) and Antoni Type B i.e. with less cellular areas, reticular, with cells showing vacuolation and xanthomatous change. The blood vessels show hyalinised walls.
Preservation of facial nerve function is of paramount importance when dealing with these benign tumours. Occasionally, the schwannoma is mistaken for fibrosarcoma on frozen section[8] and unwarranted radical surgery is performed. For this reason the surgeon should await the permanent section before proceeding with a radical procedure. Rarely, sacrifice of the nerve may be necessary to achieve complete resection. Such a surgery may be followed by nerve grafting with the hypoglossal nerve or greater auricular nerve[6].

en | N/A | N/A | Can specially-designed playgrounds for older people really make a difference to how we exercise and keep fit? We sent along writer Nick Smurthwaite to test one out
London’s first ever “senior playground” – a custom-made outdoor gym for the over-60s – has opened in Hyde Park - an oasis of calm amid the hubbub of the capital. A stone’s throw from the Serpentine, this facility is the brainchild of the Knightsbridge Association, with the financial backing of Westminster Council and the Royal Parks.
This follows in the footsteps of the UK’s first senior playground, which opened in Blackley, Manchester in 2008, while similar playgrounds are already proving popular in Europe and China.
The small roped-off area on the south side of Hyde Park is surrounded by trees, shrubs and flowers, making it surely the most idyllic setting of any fitness centre in London. There are just half a dozen pieces of equipment – actually five when I went along with my brother Paul and sister-in-law Caroline as the free runner was out of action – including a cross-trainer, a body-flexer, a sit-up bench and an exercise bike.
A welcome alternative to the traditional gym
The thinking behind the exercise area was to encourage older people to exercise in a pleasant, peaceful and lycra-free environment, many of whom find indoor gyms expensive and intimidating.
'People need to stay active and maintain their independence,' says Madeline Elsdon from the Knightsbridge Association. 'As well as the physical and mental benefits, we hope the playground will encourage users to socialise and have fun together.'
There was certainly a friendly atmosphere, and the three of us soon got chatting with sisters Naseem and Najma Malik-Noor, local residents for many years, who have been regulars since the playground opened in May 2010.
Najma, at 62 the younger of the two, said she was about to cancel her fitness club membership because the new playground offers her a perfectly adequate 30-minute workout for free.
The sisters only complaint was that it was not possible to restrict admission to those for whom it was intended – older people. They felt the Royal Parks, who are charged with managing the project, should make it clearer that this is a specifically allocated space for seniors.
In an article for the Daily Mail about the senior playground, Michael Winner said in jest that the benches were 'for adventurous oldies to rest on while they recoup, nurse their twisted ligaments and wait for the ambulance to arrive'.
He may be joking, but it would probably be quite helpful to have a fitness instructor on call in the nearby pavilion to help those with minor physical disabilities, or those who are wary of the idea of fitness machinery.
My golf-playing brother did come away from our session complaining of hip pain after doing twisting exercises on the body-flexer. But after we’d had a beer and a bite to eat in the nearby Lido Café he made a miraculous recovery…
So what was the verdict? Would we make use of a similar fitness facility if it was on our doorstep?
'Definitely,' said Caroline. 'I wish there was one in our local park in Surrey. To describe this as a playground for the elderly implies a bunch of oldies hanging around on the swings like so many bored teenagers. In fact, used correctly, the equipment gives a very good total body workout. I’m sure regular use would be of great benefit to the more mature adult.'
I would also jump at the chance to use it if my local London council decided to install one. I’ve always loathed commercially-run gyms, but at the same time I’m anxious to stay reasonably fit.
Senior playgrounds seem like the perfect solution, although we might have to wait until the economy has recovered before more local authorities can afford such non-essentials.
What do you think? Would you like your local council to build a 'senior playground', or is it just a waste of money?

Everyone want to capture everything in their surrounding so that the can get enough material to Vlog about.
Vlogging is always better with the right kind of equipment. But always make sure you have your camcorder ready in case of a spontaneous event or Vlog. Make sure the battery is full and the spare one intact. You can even have the camera man on speed dial and ready at all times. Vlogging at times can be time-consuming and hard to achieve especially if you are working solo or with unreliable people.
As much as you are talking to strangers on the internet always try to be yourself. Everyone is different and brings in a different aura about them. So make your Vlog is more personalized by being real. You cannot fake it or be different all the time. The more you do so, the less people will find you interesting.

To perfectly clip or eclipse how far we have come, that is, to decide if Nigeria has moved in development in par with other Africa States that were granted Independence at the same time; Countries like Ghana (1957), Togo (1960), Cameroon (1960), Mali (1960), Kenya (1963), and The Gambia (1965) just to mention but few.
It is pertinent for us to know that, it is true that colonialism has done to us more evil than good, but it is not sufficient enough for us to continue blaming others for our woes, instead of trying to find a way to raise our country out of the quicksand of underdevelopment. I can say plainly, that the colonialist most successful impact in Nigeria that can be applaud is teaching us the kleptomaniac trick, of siphoning the black's money to worship at the whiteman's feet.
A search through memory lane and historical records will reveal that,Nigeria,as well as other Africa countries Past and present Leaders are responsible for most of Africa's woes; starting with the coup, misgovernance, autocratic rule, embezzlement etc. The first military coup in Africa was staged in Egypt in 1952.
In 1958, there was another coup in Sudan. In 1963, a coup took place in Togo. In 1966, there was a coup in Nigeria that toppled the Government of Aguiyi Ironsi. Throughout 1970's, Africa became a master planner and Lord of coups, whose Government is formed by Coupist. The military as well as their Civilian counterpart have a lot in common; the military pretending to be the people's Messiah took over power from the civilian Government who were then very corrupt, they embezzled the nation's wealth.
When the military first came into power in their respective Africa State, the people applauded them as the Politicians were imprisoned. But the music changes, and the tune became an unpleasant one, that matches no dance step, because the military who took over power was soon found in same shoes wore by the Civilian Government. Later, there was countless counter-coup; then, it Dawn on the people that the military are just power thirsty people, who also want to take a slice from the national cake.
The Crux of the matter is yet unsolved, because though we claim to be practicing democracy, but in real sense, it is an adulterated one; due to the sit-tight syndrome of our Leaders.
To this end, when we look at the issues surfacing in our respective society most of all Ondo state, the electorate need to decide fast and good to reject a fascist government and bring in a working government who has leadership character and crested with the love of the people.
Endorse Banji Benjamin Okunomo for Governor, Ondo state. With him we can all share the dividends of democracy.

Diatomaceous earth is naturally occurring
Diatomaceous earth works to kills insects by absorbing the lipids (or oils and fats)dehydration. However, unlike chemical pesticides, it’s non-toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates and is not known to be harmful to animals and wildlife. (In fact, sometimes it’s even uk.)
It’s food-grade

On the downside, it’s dangerous to bees
Unfortunately, diatomaceous earth is so effective that it will kill beneficial insects as well. Either avoid putting the powder near plants that bees are attracted to, or cover treated plants with a sheet. Later, remove the sheet and wash the plants with water to remove any traces of the powder
In addition to acting as a pesticide, it can also be used as a soil conditioner
It can also be used within your house to control pests
If you want to avoid the use of harsh chemicals indoors, you can use diatomaceous earth to combat bed bugs, cockroaches, ants, and fleas. </s> Colombo: Pakistan coach Dav Whatmore was quite downcast after the team’s defeat at the hands of India on Sunday, and had to immediately switch to planning ahead for the crucial clash with the Australians.

There are only a few lucky enough to have run the Comrades marathon (89 km from Durban to Pietermaritzburg or vice versa) – in the history of the race, spanning back to the 1920’s, only 80 000 people have ever completed the race. Lucky, because there are many who do not have the time, resources or health to contemplate this insanity.
Many people will have a mental image of young, fit and slim people doing it, but it’s just not true – the event has a full spectrum of all sorts, shapes and sizes. Almost anybody could run it – all it takes is training and willpower.
One year’s motto – “It comes from within” got me thinking about why people are willing to submit themselves to such voluntary adversity, and what we hope to achieve by this submission, because certainly only a few have a realistic chance of winning the prize monen.
In the face of difficulty, some are defeated and some rise above it. Any of the runners that start will tell you that they reached a point, beyond which they truly felt they could not go on. One of the leading contenders experienced this recently as he slowed to a walk barely 8 kilometres from the finish with victory in sight, but the body defeated.

en | N/A | N/A | Is it possible to use a function call within the brace initializer that’s used to define the keymap in the sketch file? I’m thinking of trying an alternative to the somewhat awkward way of defining Qukeys that exists now, but it would require a function call that would take two Key values as parameters, and return a special Key value that encodes a serial number (via an incremented static variable), and as a side effect, defines an entry in an array that stores the two parameter values in an object. This would let someone write something like this as a keymap entry:
QK
…and which defines the appropriate object in the Qukeys array as a side effect. I just don’t know if this is possible in C++ (and I don’t currently have access to a machine that can test this out).
algernon (Gergely Nagy) December 22, 2017, 9:01pm #2
It is possible to place function pointers in data structures. It is not possible to do so on the keymap, because pointers are 16bit wide, and would take up the entire key, and you would not be able to distinguish a pointer from any other value.
You could do this, but then you’d have to make all keys functions. That’s probably not the fastest thing…
merlin (Michael Richters) December 22, 2017, 11:41pm #3
I don’t think I made myself clear. What I would like to do, if possible, is call a function to define a key at compile time, setting Key.raw for that entry to the return value of that function.
jesse (Jesse) December 23, 2017, 1:21am #4
Long term, I think it’s something that would be very, very powerful, if we can figure out a way to make it not hurt too badly.
merlin (Michael Richters) December 23, 2017, 1:48am #5
It does sound like an interesting idea, but not especially different from Kaleidoscope-Macros, from a user point of view. It’s also not at all what I’m trying to ask about. I don’t want to store a function pointer in the keymap; I want to set the value of a keymap entry by calling a function at compile time, and set up other things with that function’s side effects. If that’s possible (I’m pessimistic about the compiler allowing it, though).
Long-term, I think it makes more sense to use a sketch-builder program to work around the limitations of the compiler, and to vastly improve the readability of the keymap configuration.
If you’re willing to share, it’d be useful to understand your specific desired end behavior.
In its current incarnation, Qukeys are configured outside the keymap, with a separate declaration, so (for example) the keymap entry might look like this:
…and the qukey constructor is in a separate place:
Qukey(QWERTY, 2, 1, Key_LeftShift);
@algernon had the idea that we could use the DualUse declarations in the keymap as Qukeys, which would work, but would be more limited than the separate definition:
SFT_T
I’m thinking of trying to put this in the keymap:
QK
…or some abbreviated equivalent:
QK
…where QK() is a macro that expands to some function call, such as:
#define QK(pri, alt) defineQukey
That function would be defined earlier, like so:
Key defineQukey(Key pri, Key alt) {
// create the entry in an external array
qukeys[i] = Qukey(pri, alt);
// mark the keymap entry as a qukey, with an indexed offset
return (Key){ .raw = ranges::QK_FIRST + i++ };
Then I’m back to the problem of getting the size of the array correct in its declaration, but right now I’m just wondering if this is feasible. I wouldn’t use a static variable in the function, of course; that index would end up being the size of the array, so it would be a class variable instead, but I hope that conveys the idea.
It’s like the DualUse declarations in the keymap, but would allow for the full range of possible Key values for both the primary and alternate Keys. I’m interested in the question of whether or not this idea is feasible (I’d be surprised if I tried this example and it worked), setting aside the issue of getting the size of the static qukeys[] array correct for the moment. I’m not convinced that this is a good solution to the problem (I’m pretty skeptical, myself) — I just want to know what’s possible at this point.

Oh, my bad. Sorry for the misunderstanding! I do not know of a way to achieve running a custom function at compile time, though. Highly doubt it is possible, and definitely not with side effects.
Yeah, that’s not possible in C++.
If we used a Lisp… if we had a Lisp that can create efficient AVR code, now that would be amazing. And with Lisp macros, you could do something like this.

constexpr functions can run at compile time, but C++11 does not allow them to have local static variables. It isn’t possible using a class either, even if it had constexpr methods, because a constexpr object cannot be altered after construction.
noseglasses (Noseglasses) December 23, 2017, 7:23am #10
This idea must be handled with care. Even if it wasn’t a problem of distinction for Keys, it would be definitely non-portable. It would e.g. already break Kaleidoscope-Hardware-Virtual as this would require storing a 32/64 bit address in a 16 bit integer
merlin (Michael Richters) December 23, 2017, 1:19pm #11
Thanks, everyone. I expected as much.
constexpr functions can run at compile time, but C++11 does not allow them to have local static variables.
I doubt this would change anything, but what if it was a plain global variable?
noseglasses (Noseglasses) December 23, 2017, 4:19pm #12
because a constexpr object cannot be altered after construction.
This can be generalized to any constexpr intrinsic or objects variables except for local variables of constexpr functions. Also to global constexpr variables of any type. I am afraid, the answer is no.
What about a non-constexpr global variable?
Not accessible at compiletime.
I’ll just have to write a sketch builder, then. There’s so much that’s known at compile time (or before) that C++ doesn’t provide any way to set…
I know how you feel. I were at this point a hundred times before. Wishing that the C++ pre-processor was a proper programming language that would enable global stateful variables at compiletime.

Hm. Call me crazy, but isn’t the template metaprogramming language of C++ turing-capable? That might allow solving the conundrum, by having e.g. QK<Key_LeftShift>(Key_A) as syntax, but it’d require representing all keys at the type level as wel. Not the prettiest solution, I admit
algernon (Gergely Nagy) December 29, 2017, 9:18am #18
Call me crazy, but isn’t the template metaprogramming language of C++ turing-capable?
I think that adequately expresses my feelings.
TMP is absolutely not the solution to this problem. Python & Perl are also Turing-complete, and in those languages, it’s actually possible to write comprehensible code that could generate a sketch file (or the sections of it that would be necessary to make the keymap more readable, anyway).
The turing machine is also turing complete, and much more simple than TMP. Why not…
All jokes asside. It would be fairly simple to code the keymap as A std::tuple template type. But that does not make the information available in other compilation units. It would require to define the keymap in a header file and include it in all places where the information would be required. But this helps only at compile time. There are no types at runtime! The information would need to be mapped to bits and bytes to be available at runtime…say, an array, and there we are back again.
There would yet be some benefit in such a solution. Different entries in the keymap could have different bitness and @merlin could easily store his qukey function pointer. |

Wolf packs are cooperative societies, say Range and Virányi, with non-rigid hierarchies that are nonetheless capable of lethal collective action.

Spiritual People Avoid Natural Inclinations
Walk by the Spirit and you will NOT fulfill the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16
- Gal 5:15-18 NKJV
When our lives are submitted to the Holy Spirit of God working in us these things will be evidenWhat a lie! It should not surprise us when the enemy of our souls takes such a precious truth and counterfeits it with this type of lie. I have met so many people who say they are spiritual and not religious, I was one of them, but the truth for me was that I wasn’t either one. I knew the truth was Jesus Christ but didn’t make an effort to live in His Spirit as to be spiritually led; my flesh ruled my life and as such so did Satan. So many people that confess spirituality use it as an excuse not to go to Church because they think going to church is religious. It is, but it is also spiritual5
Lastly, a spiritual person has a desire to follow the word of God because they have received His Spirit and understand the importance of obedience. They understand obedience brings blessings whereby the opposite is true, disobedience to God’s word allows curses to be effective in our lives. God said He gives life and death and we have a choice; choose life (Deut. 30:19).
Hedwell within Your people. I realize that I am equipped for every good work through Your Spirit but that I have failed to present myself to the Body of Christ in unity so that I could fulfill the destiny You have planned for me. I confess that I have sinned against You by manipulating the truth of Your word and have called myself a spiritual person when in fact I have not attended church service or classes nor have I done the spiritual work You have called me to. I have become downhearted with the church, and in my wounds, I have neglected the fellowshipping with others. I ask for Your help today to forgive and heal me in this area so that I can begin afresh. I thank You for the grace and mercy that You release to me, in Jesus name, Amen.

The Pincher Creek Chamber of Economic Development member brought photos of such a turbine right in the middle of Toronto to show such an attraction is possible in an urban setting.
However, many councillors worried such a turbine could have a large setback zone which would infringe on the town’s main growth area. They also worried about having turbine noise in an area with restaurant patios, and possibly bird-killing turbine blades next to a future wetland park. They wanted to know how close people would be able to get to the turbine and how arrangements would work between the municipality and a private company. They ultimately worried about setting a precedent as well, with other wind power companies pushing to put turbines north of town.
A chicken-and-egg scenario developed, in which many councillors were reluctant to approve a location with so many questions and – according to Elle – Wind Power wanted an approved location before they started researching answers. Councillors Sharon Smith and Roy Smyth, who are Town representatives on the tourist turbine committee, seemed caught in the middle. They joked that Councillor Trevor Birkmann, who had an especially long list of questions, should have been on the committee.
Some councillors felt a tourist turbine might be better off by the lagoon where the eggbeaters used to be, though Elle doubted such a location would actually draw people into town to spend money. Alternate locations also lacked services. Some councillors also felt a non-working turbine with an observation deck would eliminate a lot of logistical hurdles, though it’s not clear who would pay to build such a turbine without the prospect of revenue from electricity generation.

en | N/A | N/A | The data from a recent survey has revealed that spending is increasing rapidly over smartphones and tablets.
According to the results of a recent study, consumers continue to love everything about their mobile devices and are using them on an increasing basis as a part of their overall shopping experiences through mobile commerce.
Consumers are using their smartphones to help them to interact with their favorite retailers.
This, according to a mobile commerce report that was recently released in a partnership between the Partnering Group and comScore. What it revealed was that 55 percent of all time spent online on retail had originated from a smartphone device, compared with only 45 percent stemming from a desktop or laptop device.
In June 2013, mobile commerce from smartphones made up 44 percent of the time spent on retailer sites.
This was a considerable increase over the same month two years before. In June 2010, smartphone mobile commerce time at retailer sites had made up only 17 percent of the time. In terms of the time originating from tablets, it accounted for 11 percent of the total minutes spent on retail sites in June of this year.
During this year’s second quarter, the mobile commerce dollar figure reached $4.7 billion, which was the equivalent to 8.6 percent of the total online shipping dollars that were spent in that quarter in the United States. Furthermore, when the second quarter from last year is compared to that of this year, smartphone and tablet based shopping rose by 24 percent, compared to the growth of 16 percent that was experienced to online shopping as a whole.
According to Vicki Cantrell, the executive director of Shop.org, which released the data when it was first unveiled, s.” She added that retailers must continue their investment into mobile commerce to make sure that they get it right over that channel, or they will increase their risk of alienating their customers. |

However, the issue still remains unresolved due to the lack of concrete and constructive response from the Chinese leadership. The whole responsibility for the deadlock rests with the Chinese leadership. If China is sincere about resolving the Tibetan issue, they must take it up in the ongoing meetings of the Chineseto discuss and decide on ways to fulfill the aspiration of the Tibetan people.
Sustaining the Tibetan communities in exile is directly related to furthering the cause of Tibet. Towards this end, promoting a healthy system of education, political awareness, strengthening democratic polity at the grassroots, sustainable development of the settlements and prevention of dispersal of the communities are extremely essential.

en | N/A | N/A | Home / Run and Grow / Operations / Hiring In-House vs. Outsourcing: Which is Suitable for Your Business Growth?
To increase staff count is always a tricky question. Especially true for small businesses, any change in staff count wis not just the consideration of salary, but also other benefits such as healthcare, insurance, and even office space and equipment.
There is also the question of the level of expertise—if you take on highly experienced staff to meet your requirements, their level of pay will likely commensurate with that experience. You are also taking on the risk of hiring the right staff to do the job since the employment process itself will take time and money.
On the other hand, finding the right staff can bring you long term support with people who are of the same mind as you in your business. You can control the exact priorities they place on work-related tasks and be able to make any changes you may decide on more rapidly.
Also, because web development may not be an ongoing thing for your organization, what happens when the project is over? Will you be left with an extra headcount that has no real relevance to your core business operations?
The buy-in cost for outsourced projects is generally higher than what your typical staff salary may be. This is because you are paying a premium for very specific talent and a deliverable project. Of course, costs can vary greatly depending on where and whom you outsource the project to.
There may also be logistical challenges if you outsource to another part of the world that might have time zones vastly different than your own. This could lead to delivery timeline issues or in a worst-case scenario, even difficulties in communication.
As you can expect, outsourcing will be approached on a per-project basis and this helps you control cost by maintaining operational costs while allocating a special budget for the project.
Definitely! Another approach to the situation would be to work with outsourcing combined with an additional consultant who will have enough expertise to work with the outsourced project. This can help you evaluate potential outsourcing candidates and pre-empt problems with them further down the line.
Another idea would be to find a partner to collaborate with. This is more difficult as it takes significant investment from both companies involved and a possible diversion from your core business. By working with a technical partner to create a basic platform, you can both then market that platform together and monetize it even as you use it for your own company.
Whether you choose to outsource your web development or not, that is a key consideration you should consider before embarking on your project. The website today is more than just a digital presence, it i, collect data for analysis, lead generation and eventually monetize from it.

On time and did a great job. Lovely clean oven
Very good. Pleased with the result
The man who attempted to clean the oven could not get the screws off in order to clean the fan. The oven itself has been given a good clean.

Friendly good service oven cleaned up very eell
Simon took parts of my oven to his van to clean, returned with them with lots of dried grease still on them. He returned to the van to try again.

en | N/A | N/A | good idea, Apple's iPhone 4S had done some good stuff with the optics, i find no reason why they won't want the same technology to come their next most sold gadget. A similar looking iPad with a better display, camera and screen would be my pick for the 3rd generation iPad.
In terms of software, it might be iOS 5.1 which is obviously the long awaited minor update to the iOS that is in beta stages currently but who knows Apple might have iOS 6 under the wraps. Now iOS 6 also sounds plausible, after all it's not every year that they can afford to 'announce' a new OS at the WWDC, WWDC being their annual developers conference and developers expect both hardware and software from it, not 'just' announcing software. But let's not deviate from the point. Whatever this new OS will be, what exactly will it have? The answer lies in Apple's Mountain Lion update. So first of all I'd like to highlight those features which the iOS is going to borrow from Mac OS X 10.8. First up, is the update to Notes. Notes are definitely set to have Picture embedding capabilities in them. Last month Apple showed us Notes coming for the Mac and it showed us how they synced well with the iCloud. So they definitely won't want to leave other devices behind in terms of the basic built in Capabilities. The next one is going to be Messages. Yes, Messages for the iOS is set to drop i from the name and become messages. It might also become more of a multi-purpose chat client, something that apple has envisioned to do with the OS X app of the same name. FaceTime will also get an HD update, that's something we had in the new OS X Lion but didn't in iOS5 so if iPad is going to get truly HD with all the retina display and airplay to HDTV's in HD, it should have FaceTime HD too. Safari is the next on the list. Apple had updated Safari last month, and now it sports a giant common search and address bar followed by a permanent Reader button. Frankly speaking Safari has never been better and the same will have to come on the iPad. All the above features will surely come on the iPad, but it all depends on how Apple plans to release its iOS and Mountain Lion. They may come later this year or they may be in your hands by the next week. And Now let's come to the iPad 2S (or 3) only features. Siri is highly possible. It might also drop the beta from the name. ILife and iWork are already present but Photos might get more Sharing options. If there is something new in works, I don't know it. I can only guess that it will either be an App Store App (which means it'll cost anything from $4.99 to $9.99) or an inbuilt app. But a few new apps are customary and will come for the next iPad only, this is certain. At the moment the best i can predict is Aperture and Final Cut Pro for iPad.
As for the name. I don't really think it is going to be iPad 3. iPad 2S, iPad, iPad HD are a few names I think the next generation iPad could be called.
That's all there is to the mysterious new iPad. It will have no more or no less. Apple won't be showing off a 7 inch iPad. You won't be paying more for a retina display, though you might end up paying less if you are a student and the iPad won't be bulkier or have a small battery life, in short it won't have anything less than the iPad 2.
And One More Thing, The next iPad also will come with a heart melting video! </s> The DCS Ambassadors is a student organization that represents the Division of Continuing Studies to members of the community, guests of the Division, and prospective students.

Posted by News Editor on Friday, DecWorkers' compensation is designed to do more than just replace your wages. It must also pay for your medical care and any vocational training you may need to get another job. These payments do much more than replace the check that your employer used to send you. So, what happens to those payments if you are offered your old job with reduced hours or a new one because you can't do your old job? Do you have to take the new job? Or can you wait until you heal up more?
Workers' compensation is generally divided into two, rough kinds of payments: partial and total disability. Partial disability is given when you are still able to work, just not to the same degree as before. It replaces a percentage of your income. On the other hand, total payments are designed to replace your income because yohurt while on the job, then you might want to speak with an employment law attorney. Understanding whether or not you are total or partially disabled can be complicated. It depends upon the nature of your job, the extent of your injuries and ability to recover. Workers' compensation is designed to protect you should you be too injured to work, so you don't need to worry. </s> How different parts of the same worksheet into view.
To split the worksheet window into panes, position the cell pointer in the worksheet in the cell whose top border marks the place where you want the horizontal division to take place and whose left border marks the place where you want the vertical division to take place before clicking the Split button on the View tab of the Ribbon (or pressing Alt+WS).
Excel then splits the window into four panes (two vertical and two horizontal) so that the cell pointer is in the upper-left corner of the pane on the lower right.
When you split a window into two vertical panes, the situation is reversed. The worksheet window contains a single vertical scroll bar and two separate horizontal scroll bars. This means that all vertical scrolling of the two panes is synchronized, while horizontal scrolling of each pane remains independent.
When you split a window into two horizontal and two vertical panes, the worksheet window contains two horizontal scroll bars and two separate vertical scroll bars. This means that vertical scrolling is synchronized in the top two window panes when you use the top vertical scroll bar and synchronized for the bottom two window panes when you use the bottom vertical scroll bar.
Likewise, horizontal scrolling is synchronized for the left two window panes when you use the horizontal scroll bar on the left, and it’s synchronized for the righright.
To remove all panes from a window when you no longer need them, you simply click the Split button on the View tab of the Ribbon, press Alt+WS, or drag the dividing bar (with the black double-headed split arrow cursor) either for the horizontal or vertical pane until you reach one of the edges of the worksheet window.
You can also remove a pane by positioning the mouse pointer on a pane-dividing bar and then, when it changes to a double-headed split arrow, double-clicking it.
Keep in mind that you can freeze panes in the window so that information in the upper pane and/or in the leftmost pane remains in the worksheet window at all times, no matter what other columns and rows you scroll to or how much you zoom in and out on the data. </s> rld'

Let me know if anyone tries these how well they work for you.
Has anyone created a SELF CLEANING potty patch/patio potty using DRIP IRRIGATION connected to your AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM? I finally discovered how you can water your potted plants thru those little black tubes connected to the sprinklers, like restaurants do; there HAS to be a way to adapt this to the puppy potty.
The individual parts are dirt cheap at Home Depot/Lowes ($1-$5) & can pump out 0-20 gallons per HOUR (enuf to flood astroturf)
If you haven't seen them in the irrigation/sprinklers isle, it's life changing..otherwise I kill everything-lol. You can do this easy & NOT LOSE your sprinkler, it just diverts a little water to the pots when they run--so cool! FYI you don't need a pressure regulator or a punch for small applications like these. Just need plain ole scissors.
-If you have a pop up sprinkler head, unscrew it & replace it with a riser (about $.65). -Then screw on the 1/2" riser adapter with 1/4" micro drip irrigation ($1.86), -Screw the sprinkler spray head on top (sometimes you can use the one from your popup sprinkler, or the part is about $.60).
-Push the tubes onto the adapter & run the 1/4" tubes to your pots & their sprayer/dripper stakes .
It's such an easy setup, there HAS to be a way to use this for the puppy potty. There are 1/4" & 1/2" tubing parts & various types of drip irrigation sprinklers/sprayers heads...or maybe use without a head & just let the water flow from the 1/4" tube right onto the AstroTurf. Ideas??? I'm creative, but know my limits, so I'm starting with a purchased "potty patch" & plan to adapt it. Now I just need to figure out how??? I'm thinking drill hole in bottom & somehow add 1/2" drain tube, then run a 1/4" tube thru the side for the water to flood it. You can see the drainage hose in the $$$ patio potty to see my goal.
I luv all the creative ideas here; anyone tried this or have input? Tks |

Mike Rottenborn, Global Graphics CEO comments, “As forecast, profitability was lower in 2019 due to investment in additional personnel and new product development. Revenue declined more than expected, primarily due to a slowdown in ceramic tiles and industrial printing that adversely affected our Printhead Solutions sales. For 2020, we look for continued growth in our Software segment fuelled by tighter integration between Global Graphics Software and Meteor Inkjet, as well as the late-2019 acquisition of Xitron, our largest reseller partner. We have started to see some recovery in industrial printing for 2020, alton this segment and the overall business.”

In the present study, we demonstrate the performance of Zinc oxide thin film transistors (ZnO TFTs) array subjected to the strain under high bending test and the reliability of TFTs was confirmed for the bending fatigue test of 2000 cycles. Initially, ZnO TFTs were fabricated on Si substrate and subsequently transferred on flexible PET substrate using transfer printing process. It was observed that when the bending radius reached < 11 mm then cracks start to initiate first at SiO 2 bridges, acting as interconnecting layers among individual TFT. Whatever the strain is applied to the devices, it is almost equivalently adopted by the SiO 2 bridges, as they are relatively weak compared to rest of the part. The initial cracking of destructed SiO 2 bridge leads to the secondary cracks to the ITO electrodes upon further increment of bending radius. Numerical simulation suggested that the strain of SiO 2 layer reached to fracture level of 0.55% which was concentrated at the edge of SiO 2 bridge layer. It also suggests that the round shape of SiO 2 bridge can be more fruitful to compensate the stress concentration and to prevent failure of device.

en | N/A | N/A | In his book, The Vegetable Gardener’s Guide to Permaculture , Christopher Shein said, “Although there will be failed experiments, the permaculture gardener sees these as normal events in the dynamic process of all living environments. Mistakes are a learning tool and a sign you’re continuing to improve your process.” I couldn’t agree more.

No, you’re not going crazy. My weekly video post is up one day early. I won’t be available to post tomorrow, so I thought it best to put it up today! I had fun with pumpkins this weekend – a little carving, some puree, a loaf of pumpkin bread, a pumpkin doughnut…that all happened. Tis the season, I guess.
In this week’s video, I share with you just how easy it is to make your own pumpkin puree. I will concede that opening a can is indeed easier, but with about 15 minutes of hands-on time, you can make your own from scratch – delicious, unprocessed, in-season pumpkin puree.
Now, I will warn you that there is about a 20 second segment in this video that is horribly unfocused. If only I could be behind the camera and in front of it at once! The content just wouldn’t make sense if I left it out and since I had already roasted and pureed both of my pumpkins, I couldn’t reshoot. So, in the loop it stayed – in all its imperfect glory. It’s human. And clearly, I’m rolling with it. I hope you all have a lovely week! Get yourself a pumpkin!
Pumpkin Bread with Crystallized Ginger
Pumpkin Streusel Pie (one of my all-time favorite pies!!)
What’s your favorite way to use pumpkin puree?
So rather than putting off the idea or scraping it all together, I’ve decided to give you just a snippet, a piece of something I’ve wanted to share with you. It’s probably no coincidence that it’s the thing that greets me every time I walk in or out my front door.
Video: Renovate Your Strawberry Patch!
Time is of the essence, folks! Now that you’ve harvested all your strawberries, it’s time to renovate your June-bearing strawberry patch so you have an abundant crop of fruit and flourishing strawberry plants next season. In this timely video, I’ll show you how to renovate, or prune your strawberry patch and transplant runners so it will be as good as new!
Have you signed up for my monthly newsletter yet? I want you to have it! I’m working on a good one to be delivered promptly to your inbox on the 1st! One thing I’m super excited to share with you is a super simple technique for preserving fresh herbs and a little something about DIY Herbs de Provence. I’ll also give you a ton of links for great things to do with all these summer cherries we’ve got right now. It’s easy to sign up for this free resource! Just enter your name and email into the box on the right. I think you’ll be glad you did!
Lots of love this week, friends!
Speaking of strawberries…this is a great beginners’ guide to gardening, especially for my friends with smaller spaces. Andrea’s also got a great blog, Heavy Petal. |
en | N/A | N/A | One intriguing aspect about the skyrocketing use of Facebook and Twitter for businesses and organizations is how local it has become.
To borrow from the old nursery rhyme, the butcher, the banker and the equivalent of the candlestick maker are taking the social media leap and surprising themselves by the results.
“It’s a way to develop loyalty as well as receive feedback from our customer base,” said Justin Rosberg, a co-founder of the successful The Meat House butcher shop chain who now leads the company’s franchising arm. He said The Meat House started its Facebook page six months ago and now has over 2,300 fans.
Recent Meat House entries include supplying the ingredients of what became the world’s largest meatball (cooked by the Concord restaurant Nonni’s) and a call for customers to share their favorite fall recipes.
Since it relaunched its Facebook page in April and decided to give it much more attention with frequent updates, Franklin Savings has gathered more than 690 followers. The page has become an important marketing tool for current and future promotions, including a launch of the bank’s new Web site in the coming months.
“The speed which this (social media) has been embraced is revolutionary,” said Savage, who has 30 years in the industry.
Social media is revolutionary and fast becoming mainstream, said Chuck Martin, chief executive of Madbury-based NFI Research and an author of several books about business trends.
“It has happened lightning fast,” said Martin, who also teaches marketing at the University of New Hampshire.
Martin’s class, in fact, will show how local businesses are using Facebook and Twitter in real time while students offer class crtitiquescritiques and suggestions, Martin said.
Martin’s latest book, which will published next year, is about social media, how businesses are using it and the marketing peril that businesses could face if they don’t employ the various tools in the social media bag.
He doesn’t hesitate when asked who can benefit the most.
“Small local businesses are where it’s at,” Martin said, in part because they can have the immediate impact on customers who are already open to communication about sales, new products or the latest buzz.
At Franklin Savings, Facebook has helped it develop what Savage called “a business relationship portal” that mixes bank products with photos and cash drawings — and incorporates the bank’s commercial customers with coupons and direct links.
Savage said the bank also sees Facebook as a means of communicating with younger customers, especially younger women who often handle pocketbook issues in the home.
The social media explosion is still at the liftoff stage, said Kchief executive of Berlin-based KDPaine & Partners.
Paine said that governmental and nonprofit organizations are ahead of the curve — due to their ability to experiment more freely — but businesses are catching up fast. |
en | N/A | N/A | ***5/4/10 - QUESTION(S) OF THE DAY!
I listen to Pandora Radio while I work out, and my favorite station right now is the Mindless Self Indulgence station. It plays MSI, and System of a Down, Birthday Massacre, Emily Autumn (whom I'm liking a lot more these days) and a bunch of others. It's totally great for a really hard pushing myself sort of workout. At least for me! |
