It was just that potential that attracted theologian George E. Rupp, dean of the Harvard Divinity School, to become Rice’s fifth president. Those few who still considered Rice only a science-engineering institute were surprised by the choice of a humanist, but the trustees’ choice reflected Rice’s maturation into a complete university. The search itself—involving faculty, alumni, students, and board members—was an extraordinary exercise in examining what the university might become and the type of leadership necessary for significant enhancement, a search ultimately praised by the Carnegie Foundation as a model for all of higher education. As President Rupp and his family moved to Houston in the summer of 1985, Rice was admitted to the ranks of the Association of American Universities. Another symbol of university status was achieved that year: the Rice Institute Pamphlet, begun in 1915 by President Lovett and transformed in 1961 into Rice University Studies, became in 1985 the Rice University Press. With the vigorous leadership of President Rupp and the wholehearted support of the board of govenors, headed by Charles W. Duncan, Jr., the university soon announced a program of enhancement that rivaled in boldness the plans of 1912. It was understood that significant improvement of the university would entail the raising of substantial sums of money, but the university community appeared ready to be challenged. As Rice approached 1987, the seventy-fifth anniversary of its opening, the current of optimism and excitement about its future gained momentum. The pomp and pageantry of George Rupp’s inaugural ceremony on October 25, 1985, brightened an otherwise cloudy day, and the rain clouds restrained themselves just long enough for the audience of students, alumni, friends, faculty, and distinguished visitors to hear President Rupp’s inaugural commitment “to stand with Edgar Odell Lovett” in insisting on three proud traditions at Rice. “First, we will continue to offer outstanding education to the most capable students we can attract, irrespective of their ability to pay.” And their education will help bridge the chasm between what C. P. Snow has called the two cultures of science and the humanities, for Rice since the beginning has been and will remain dedicated to “liberal and technical learning.” Second, Rupp emphasized, “we will continue and intensify our efforts in research, scholarship, and professional accomplishment.” Rice had always stood for the expansion of knowledge as well as its communication, and that tradition will be honored. Third, Rupp pledged “to uphold and extend . . . the very conception of education that animated the founder of this institution . . . service to the broader society.” He pointed out how fortunate the Rice community of scholars was to be able to work on such a beautiful campus, and he emphasized the opportunities for interdisciplinary study and cooperation that Rice’s small scale afforded.

An extended U.S. government shutdown would cause increasing harm to the nation’s economy, with the Washington area -- home to about 350,000 federal workers -- bearing the brunt of the damage. Congressional leaders remain stalemated over funding the U.S. government, with President Barack Obama unable to broker a compromise after several White House meetings -- the most recent one last night -- with House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat. The lawmakers’ staffs were continuing negotiations into the night. In brief remarks after last night’s session with Boehner and Reid, Obama said that a shutdown could severely hamper the economic recovery and job growth. Failure to reach a deal on funding for the remaining six months of the fiscal year would trigger a government shutdown at midnight tonight, causing more than 800,000 “non-essential” federal workers to be furloughed without pay. Among services that would be halted are some mortgage processing by the Federal Housing Administration and loan approvals by the Small Business Administration, while some tax refunds would be delayed. Air traffic control, emergency management and federal law enforcement would continue. Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT), the world’s largest defense contractor, said it would keep its factories open and pay its employees’ salaries and benefits.

Rowan Atkinson reprises his most famous role as Mr. Bean, who is lucky enough to win a trip to the south of France. Being Bean, however, that will prove far from simple or incident-free, as Murphy insists on tagging along. Before long he befriends a young Russian boy, whose dad is a judge at the Cannes Film Festival. Numerous adventures later, Bean finds himself at the festival, with his holiday videos playing a leading role. Reviews have been mixed. I claim this land for the Queen!

When video games get banned in America Should we throw a big party? Best Answer: It might be a good idea. It might stops these idiot teen and kids from shooting up schools these day. Way too much call of duty and gta. Hmm. Let's think this over. Remember that time where President Trump has been elected president? People are considered to move to different countries because video games are banned. The Canadian Website got overload with people wanting to move to Canada because of Trump's election. Who knows. Could happen again. Also, you can't banned video games if us gamers would refused. There are still a lot of us out there. You really think games should be banned vs ppl getting mental help? That's asinine. Way to make the problem worse. Well, never will that happen anyways. America is a country based on democracy, and banning all video games would violate the rights of Americans and the constitution itself. I don’t know why people post these kind of questions. No, video games will not be banned. Unfortunately people who would ban video games would also ban parties! Go ahead and try are best. It's not a matter of when, it's a matter of what universe. And it won't be this one. On a side note. I've reported you for spam. HAVE FUN WITH YOUR PARTY. P.S. Learn grammar before trying a petition. The people you send it to will just laugh at you even more then they already would.

Luciana’s cleft lip and palate was discovered at 7 months in utero. Her OBGYN did not tell her what to expect, and the pediatrician who was supposed to consult with her at the hospital after birth never came. She was told that she would never be able to feed Luciana from the breast, and was given a syringe for feeding. Fortunately, someone from her religious group referred her to a cleft lip and palate support group in Tuxtla, who referred her to an orthodontist in San Cristobal. He placed a NAM (nasal aveolar molding) device to artificially and temporarily close the palate, which significantly improved feeding. The Tuxtla cleft palate support group was also instrumental in educating her about best feeding practices. Before Luciana’s cleft lip surgery with the Cuellars and ConnectMed team on March 17th, Cynthia was able to have personal consultations with the visiting speech therapists and the orthodontist. Cynthia feels lucky because she was referred to the right people to find proper care for her daughter. She wants other moms to know that they can and should continue searching for medical care instead of allowing themselves to feel embarrassed by their children’s conditions. Friends and family members often make parents feel ashamed of their children’s deformities. Too many moms feel embarrassed, resigned to their “fate” and don’t seek care at all. Cynthia knows of one other girl with a cleft palate who is 5 years old and had surgery, but she did never had a NAM device or received speech therapy so she is impossible to understand. She urges parents to be patient and make sure to follow through with all the surgeries and the consultations with orthodontists and speech therapists.

Chlamydia trachomatis-induced Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome: a case report - Download this document for free, or read online. Document in PDF available to download. BackgroundFitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome is defined as perihepatitis associated with pelvic inflammatory disease. Chlamydia trachomatis is one of its most common aetiologies. This syndrome usually presents with right upper quadrant abdominal pain mimicking other hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal pathologies, hence, posing a diagnostic dilemma in settings with limited diagnostic tools. Case reportA 32 year old African female presented with acute right upper quadrant abdominal pain and vaginal discharge, for which she had previously received treatment in another health center with no improvement. Clinical and laboratory findings were suggestive of Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome. Five days after treatment with oral doxycycline, the patient showed marked clinical improvement. ConclusionFitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome is a common cause of right upper quadrant pain which is often under diagnosed in poor communities. Hence, it should be included as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with right upper quadrant pain, especially in females of reproductive age.

Prevue is a design presentation and feedback tool for agencies and their clients. It’s the best way to present work in the browser, and get fast feedback. Prevue (pronounced pre·view) is a cloud-based image sharing tool that enables agencies and designers to present work to their clients in private. With security, simplicity and custom branding at its core — Prevue allows public and private conversation on work in progress, and presents designs in their best light. Whether you’re a photographer, UX or UI designer, iconographer or illustrator — each image you upload can be edited and fine-tuned to look their best in any browser. Privately owned and operated since 2008, Prevue is a secure and reliable platform trusted by over 20,000 design agencies worldwide. Prevue operates on dedicated servers based in Virginia USA, and utilises the best available cloud technology to ensure the highest level of performance and privacy. The first version of Prevue (then called “Previews”) was created in January 2008 by digital designer, Buzz Usborne. Whilst working as a freelance designer for a number of digital agencies, Buzz wasn't satisfied with the existing tools available to present his design work online… so he built a solution of his own. Prevue was launched as an invite-only beta to 300 designers, and the first image was uploaded on 10th May 2010. Several long years of testing, rebuilding and launching new features followed, until October 2012 when Prevue was finally opened to the public. By the end of 2012, Prevue had over 7,000 users. Unfortunately it wasn’t all smooth sailing — in November 2013 the service experienced several days of interrupted service as a result of a DDoS attack. Whilst no information was lost, nor any data breached, this marked the start of some significant improvements to Prevue’s underlying architecture, security and performance. And in December the entire service saw major upgrades to newer, faster and more secure servers. To allow for continued updates and improvements to Prevue, monthly pricing was released in January 2015 in exchange for unlimited space and team features. Proving to be a great success, revenue from monthly plans was able to support continued development to infrastructure, with noticeable improvements to the app’s speed. After 12 years of constant iteration and improvement (and a lot of love), Prevue today serves as the creative platform to over 20,000 designers and agencies — and is responsible for sharing and gathering feedback on millions of images to clients in over 120 countries.

The Survival Bracelet project is one way that kids of any age can be part of giving back to others who can use a comforting gesture and a little support. Survival bracelets are woven from one long piece of parachute cord (sometimes 2), a strong and versatile fabric that can be used in countless situations, such as securing tents, strapping things together, as a harness, as a fishing line or even as thread to sew on a button. Worn as a bracelet, they represent each person's unique survival skills and the strength that is woven into each stitch. Order your bracelet kit(s). Each kit contains enough materials to make 20 bracelets. Kits are $25 each. When your kit(s) arrive, gather up some friends and start making bracelets! We'll provide instructions or you can see loads of videos on the different designs on youtube.

Limits to Growth, a sound infestation by Owen Green and Martin Parker from Martin Parker on Vimeo. Limits to Growth is a sonic parasite. It feeds off its surrounding auditory environment in order to make itself heard. Over the course of its infestation, its relationship to the environment changes. Interventions from invited artists, gallery staff, passing traffic and its own voice see the work ‘mature’ in situ, establishing a nice. It develops from something closed to something structurally coupled to the environment, where behaviors and transformations of sound are themselves driven by what it ‘hears’. Limits to Growth is highly configurable and adaptable. It can be scheduled to fit the needs of the building, festival or event, or left to expand, contract and sprawl freely.

Happy Birthday Theo, Two Years Old- 22 Countries Visited! We had to fly home on August 29 to make it back before Theo’s 2nd birthday the following day. Theo is truly becoming a world traveler. Some of his favorite activities are checking out parks and street art, chasing birds and he absolutely loves spotting meow meows (cats) everywhere we go! When Lucas turned 2, he had visited 12 countries, including Kosovo. I can’t believe that Theo has doubled his mark at this age! Theo has flown on every flight as a lap baby. Since his birthday is over the summer, I will show his lifetime flight info not yearly like how I do for Lucas. Theo has flown 68 segments for 105,403 miles which took 10 days 4:18. Once again, Happy Birthday to Theo, the best little guy (tied with Lucas) we could’ve ever ask for! Mommy, Daddy and Lucas love you so much! Looking forward to more great experience for many years to come! Check out a photo from each of the new countries Lucas visited from his 1st birthday until he turned 2. Cait- Thanks! I keep track of all of the flights on openflights.org. For countries/ states, I just have a note in my phone. Alan- Congrats to your niece. Your brother or sister must love to travel.

Almost half a million U.S. businesses will die this year. But it doesn't have to be your company, at least if you mitigate the pitfalls that commonly trip young companies. That's according to serial entrepreneur Georgianna Oliver, CEO of package locker system company Package Concierge, who says the many mistakes she made prior to the success she's having with her current startup qualify her to give advice on the subject. Here are the mistakes she says companies about to fail most commonly make. 1. Believing that a good idea alone can be a business. An inestimable number of great ideas for new companies are hatched every year by people who think they've come up with something original. "Then they'll start to do some research and see that there are, in fact, lots of people with the same idea," Oliver says. "So it really is the execution of an idea that makes a business. And it's developing the right culture, the right tools, the right systems, and an accountability structure." 2. Inexperienced founders who go it alone. While energy and passion for an idea help, if you're trying to get a fledgling company off the ground without experience in business, you're going to have problems due to the fact that you'll be learning as you go. Be smart, and bring someone who knows what he or she is doing onboard. Or, wait until you get educated about an industry before trying to launch a company in it. "My recommendation is to work somewhere else for five years and learn everything you can about how that business or a similar business might work," she says. 3. Not having a strong CFO, or at least a good bookkeeper. Tight accounting breeds trust with the people you need to support your company. "Someone has to be really good at being accountable with the finances so any potential investors, future employees, and even your customers feel comfortable that your company is a very viable organization," she says. 4. Launching at the wrong time. If Oliver had started Package Concierge--which markets to real estate developers and apartment building managers and owners--in 2009, the business never would have worked because real estate had crashed. "But right now is a great time to have a product in the apartment space because everybody is feeling very excited and making lots of investments and building high quality properties and adding amenities and things like that," she says. "So timing is very, very important." 5. Not understanding laws in different parts of the country. "For example, what may be perfectly appropriate in Washington, D.C., you can't do in Boston because of local laws," she says. 6. Trying to do B2C, when B2B might be easier. If you don't have connections in retail, you're in for an uphill battle if you want to sell to consumers. But if you are already entrenched in an industry, understand how it operates, and have a wealth of connections within it, why not use your knowledge and influence to make traction with other businesses? "It's a lot easier to get momentum in your own industry by talking to, collaborating, and problem solving with people you know who are your colleagues, or industry veterans or people that you can really bounce an idea off of that's in a safe place, versus somebody coming from the outside," she says. 7. Trying to start a business without fully understanding the industry. The most successful entrepreneurs have domain expertise, meaning they've worked in an industry long enough to understand it backward and forward, inside and out. "If you want to have a successful business, you absolutely have to go with something that you know," she says. "Every business I have ever started has been in the apartment space.... I wouldn't go and start a business in the retail space because that's not my experience." 8. Trying to launch a product company without enough funding. Instead of paying for prototypes, programmers, and salespeople, can you begin with a consulting business, which won't need a lot of working capital? "It's hard for product companies to grow organically because they have to have such a big investment to startup," she says. 9. Taking money from the wrong kind of investor. "For example, if you're in the apartment niche it would be really smart to have an investor who's one of the big apartment owners, or a REIT [real estate investment trust]," she says. "If they buy into your product and if they're an opinion leader in your space, that really helps [because] they're going to put your product in all their properties. That can be really strategic."

Yeah, designed a nice exterior and then ruined it with a stick-on tablet on top of the dash. Wow.. the sedan looks exactly like what I might expect a compact Volvo or Maserati would.. and the hatchback has its own unique thing going on. This is a definite winner for Mazda! Vince - Couldn't agree more. Mazda is once again leading the industry in design and value. How come their vehicles don't sell in large numbers? What do you think is the problem? For the first time in generations the sedan looks better. There are more pictures of the hatch out there and boy is that c pillar huge and ugly, better have standard blind spot detection. What is it about auto writers and Mazda? The new 3 couldn’t be duller yet the accolades will be pouring in. I had a Mazda 6 wagon as a rental in Italy a while ago and while the roads couldn’t have been better, the car couldn’t have been more boring to drive. And this was supposed to be a holy grail machine per every publication. Likewise, I test drive a 2018 6 recently and found it to be a big yawn. Even the vaunted Miata is really no great shakes to drive despite all the hullabaloo. Mazda is the Emperor’s New Car. Well, it's all subjective, of course. I find the hatch grotesque with that ridiculously huge C-pillar. I'd consider the sedan, but both versions look like their sides are bashed in. So this is it? The new 3 sedan is the better looking of the two, but while clean and attractive it’s hardly ground-breaking. The proportionally-challenged hatchback, on the other hand, is odd-looking. Perhaps even ugly. The sedan should have been a hatchback, and a 2-door version would have been offered in place of the ungainly hatchback. The interior is nice, except for the multi-layered dash top with a tablet awkwardly shoved in a hole look. Hopefully the SkyActiv technology makes up for what the 3 lacks in style. The sedan is attractive! The hatchback is ungainly! I read that Mazda used a torsion beam rear suspension on this new Mazda3 instead of the multi link independent rear suspension that was utilized on previous generations. This switch seems like a definite step backwards! Sleek, elegant, and understated. Classy. Something you don't see every day now. The loss of the independent rear suspension is not small. A critical mistake. The exterior design of the new gen sedan is a definite improvement over the current version. The current gen sedan always looked like Mazda simply morphed the hatchback into a three box configuration and the result was a bit awkward. The new gen version looks like it was designed from the start to be a proper three box design and the resulting vehicle looks much more appropriately proportioned because of it. I also like the fact that the side window shape from the first two generations of the Mazda3 sedan seems to have resurfaced on the new gen version in an updated form. It gives the new gen sedan a sense of continuity with its past in addition to giving it its own unique and appropriate appearance from the hatchback. The exterior design of the hatchback is a hot mess. It appears to be very awkward and somewhat shapeless. The exterior of the current gen does an excellent job of balancing a curvaceous overall shape with some hard lines to provide an attractively proportioned shape. The new gen version loses this essential balance and looks like Mazda simply left the current gen hatchback in the sun too long until it morphed into a melted blob. While Mazda did a great job of translating a concept car into production form (although I never really thought that the Kai Concept was attractive), the resulting new gen car just doesn’t possess the awesome appeal of the current gen version. The interior design is totally stunning. Mazda has really elevated its game on interior design. One last note: It is hard to believe that a brand that aspires to be more premium and upmarket would install an archaic and unsophisticated rear suspension on its latest creation. I’m not sure how much this will impact Mazda’s image with the general public, but it will appear as though Mazda has cheapened the vehicle to enthusiasts or anyone who does extensive research on their vehicle purchases. We’ll see how this change affects this vehicle’s image, reviews, and sales performance. Much attention will be directed at this change if the new gen car’s handling becomes far less dynamic and engaging due to this change.

In “Our Dancing Days”, Lucious confesses to his family that he has been diagnosed with ALS. When him and Cookie are alone, this song plays in the background. We can assume it was written when they were still hustlers, and it talks about Cookie. She then starts getting emotional, not only because of the song, but also because of Lucious having ALS, so they dance and that leads to kissing and more. Tune in on Wednesdays for an all new Empire on Fox. Only 4 episodes left!

Why did you choose UVA’s M.S. in Commerce Program? As someone with a strong quantitative background, I didn't want to get into research and decided not to apply for Ph.D. programs. I knew I wanted to do something more practical, and finance is a natural direction for someone with my background. I took a gap year after graduating in 2017, did three finance-related internships, and meanwhile applied for graduate school. McIntire is one of the best business schools in the country, and also one of the strongest brands when it comes to finance. More importantly, you can feel that people at McIntire really care. What do you enjoy about the program so far? Classmates generally have a strong bond with each other. Professors are great. I like the fact that everyone is smart and competitive. It can be stressful adapting to graduate school, but McIntire has helped to make it a great experience thus far. Fun facts about me: I play four musical instruments. I almost got drowned when I was six after seeing a frog on a lotus leaf and thinking I could mimic the frog and stand on it. I learned that was not the best idea! I’m a big movie buff.

As court weighs efficacy of antitrust settlement, Microsoft is trumpeting its compliance efforts. A federal court is still weighing the efficacy of a proposed antitrust settlement signed between Microsoft Corp. and the Department of Justice in November, but the Redmond, Wash., software maker nonetheless must meet several deadlines under the deal this month. As the same court considers whether stricter antitrust penalties are necessary, Microsoft is trumpeting the steps it is already taking to remedy its illegal conduct. The settlement inked with the Justice Department and nine states is considerably more lenient than an alternative remedy proposal sought by nine other states. Both proposals address the need for Microsoft to disclose more technical information, give developers a way to remove access to the companys middleware and provide greater flexibility to OEMs, but the proposals differ dramatically in the degree to which Microsoft must pursue those goals. Tomorrow, under the terms of the settlement proposal, Microsoft will launch a program to license 113 communications protocols for other vendors to use to interoperate with Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP and future versions of Windows. The licensing program, which the company described as novel, is based on 12 tasks that reflect how Microsofts server operating systems interoperate with desktop operating systems. While the alternative remedy proposal sought by the non-settling states requires Microsoft to share technical information more broadly, the Justice Department settlement permits Microsoft to charge royalties and reasonable licensing fees -- which the company is not listing publicly -- for the protocols. "Theres very substantial IP and valuable technology in these protocols," Brad Smith, senior vice president of law and corporate affairs, said in a conference call with reporters this morning. "The prices for the protocols are very small relative to the price of the products." Beginning Aug. 28, Microsoft will also make available for free 272 internal application programming interfaces for five middleware features defined in the proposed settlement: Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Windows Messenger, Outlook Express and the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine. The stricter remedy proposal sought by the states more broadly defines the scope of middleware subject to the anti-trust penalties.

Nancy Griffith from The Bridge at 105.5 was traveling from the radio station after an interview and recommended that they pick up some food before heading back out to the Coliseum. They ordered some food to go and ate some chips and salsa while waiting. Minding my own business and concentrating on my own lunch, I was not immediately aware that Michael Franti was at Zia. After coming to my senses, I got the nerve to go outside and introduce myself. We talked about the first Spearhead show I went to in 1998 at the One Love Music Festival in Crested Butte, CO. I was surprised to realize that concert was over 12 years ago. He said he loved the salsa and complimented how wonderful the place looked. They got their to-go order, I got a quick photograph, and off they went. They really enjoyed their food and the band manager contacted me to see if I would be interested in trading some tacos for some tickets and backstage passes to hang out with Franti and Spearhead after their show. Full of excitement, we made all the arrangements and a serious taco party was set in motion for the rest of the band and John Mayer. The show was great, with seats just to the right of the stage: Super high-energy with about four or five new tracks. After their set we headed backstage, called up the manager Catherine, and she took us to meet the rest of band. Everyone was excited about the food and in high spirits. The acoustic version of “Hey Hey Hey” in the dressing room was the most intimate musical experience I have ever had, it’s wonderful to know it was captured and placed up on You Tube. Amazing experience. What else is there to say?

Chaintech's success in the past has mainly come from their ability to uphold the manufacturer/user relationship. This relationship is one of give and take, and it dictates that if a manufacturer concentrates on the overall quality of a product then the possibility that the user will be satisfied is a very large one. The previous entries from Chaintech were actually a bit disappointing compared to the competition. The 5DTM2 and 5TTL lacked the strength and stability to improve Chaintech's current "average" reputation. The 5TTM1 was a stronger try at achieving a truly successful motherboard, however it was an ill-fated attempt at grabbing the gold. Chaintech's SiS 5598 board as even somewhat of a disappointment although that could be attributed to the chipset itself rather than the quality of the motherboard. Basically Chaintech, in the past, has left a few Socket-7 users with a bitter taste in their mouths. With one last attempt at redemption from the Socket-7 market what did Chaintech do? They produced yet another SiS based motherboard. However before you declare the Chaintech 5SIM a total failure, understand this: Just because SiS manufactures low end chipset solutions that doesn't mean that they can't offer an economically priced TX chipset alternative. Nope, not the 5598, but SiS' 5582 chipset is at the heart of Chaintech's most promising Socket-7 motherboard. At a quick glance, the 5SIM looks like any normal baby AT based motherboard. Upon closer inspection the large "LX-sized" SiS 5582 chip becomes a prominent marker of the 5SIM's glory. Outfitted with 4 PCI and 3 ISA slots to accent the 2 SIMM and 2 DIMM slots, the Chaintech 5SIM manages to pack quite a punch for its size. Don't let its colorful box and harmless appearance fool you, the 5SIM is a force to be reckoned with. Based on the SiS 5582 chipset, Chaintech's 5SIM doesn't feature any low cost integrated video options, nor an AGP slot intended for a much more expensive motherboard. Instead it boasts all the features we know and love from Intel's TX chipset such as Ultra DMA/33 and SDRAM support, while expanding the TX's 64MB Cacheable memory limit to include a more realistic 128MB cacheable memory area. The 5582 was originally thought to be a successor to the SiS 5571 chipset, however the mysterious absence of Linear Burst Mode support by the chipset could lead one to believe otherwise. Maintaining that manufacturer/user relationship, Chaintech bundled a handy SiS Busmastering driver diskette with the 5SIM, in spite of the fact that Windows 95 automatically detects and configures the onboard PCI IDE controller as a SiS 5513 PCI IDE Device controller by default. Although many consider VIA's VP2 chipset (found in FIC's PA-2007 and 2011) to be the best competitor of Intel's TX chipset, the SiS 5582 can arguably be given the same title. Not only is the Chaintech 5SIM a solid performer, producing excellent results with the Pentium MMX from 208MHz up to 291.5MHz and with the K6 from 208MHz up to 250MHz, but it is also a very stable motherboard. The only time it crashed was during an attempt to run the K6 at 262.5MHz which unfortunately failed completely even after 5 tries. The Chaintech 5SIM is only available in an AT form factor, meaning that all of you ATX advocates are out of luck. You will find that the 5SIM's design is quite cramped compared to most, especially if you're installing it in a mini-tower case. The positioning of the dip switches which correspond to the available Bus speeds and clock multipliers are placed directly underneath the drive cage in most standard AT cases, obstructing access to them. Aside from the cramped design the voltage regulator setup and overall engineering quality of the motherboard does have room for improvement. Taking the Pentium MMX up to 291.5MHz required by a 3.2v core voltage setting, and taking the K6 up to 250MHz required a core voltage of 3.4v!

THE NORTHERN Ireland exam board is fighting to retain students following a haemorrhage of candidates to English and Welsh exam boards, writes Linsey Wynton. Around 20 per cent of GCSE and A-levels taken by students in Ulster this year were issued by external exam boards rather than the Northern Ireland Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment. The CCEA has no comparative figures, but is convinced there is a trend away from its exams. A marketing campaign to entice more students to sit more exams with the board has been launched. A spokesman blamed the drift away from the board on its small size and the limited range of subjects it offers. But he dismissed the suggestion that the board's qualifications were less well regarded by universities and employers in England, Wales and Scotland, saying he was confident the decline could be reversed. The board this week recorded improvements in GCSE results - announced well ahead of the results for England and Wales - and in A-level results. A total of 22 per cent of students received an A grade in their A-levels and 92.7 per cent achieved grades A to E - a 2 percentage points increase on last year's results in both cases. But the number of candidates sitting A-levels fell by more than 500 from last year to just over 10,200. At GCSE, 20.5 per cent of students received grades A* and A compared with 19.3 per cent last year. Almost 70 per cent of pupils scored grades A* to C (a 2 point increase from last year) while 97.6 per cent scored grades A* to G - also a slight improvement. The number of candidates has dropped by more than 1,000 over the past two years while the number of papers issued has fallen by almost 9,000.

On Episode 5 of The Edge of Innovation, we look at a case study of a client and understand how to find the “why” behind the “what” in web presence. We are also talking about how to set smart goals. Many projects fail because expectations weren’t set well. Jacob: Historically, we’ve done episodes looking at specific topics. Today we want to turn to a special episode looking at a case study. Paul, would you talk you through who is the focus of our case study today? Paul: Sure. We’ve been working with a client who is a personal services firm. It’s a single owner and worker, one person. She provides services to pregnant women. So, it’s a doula. What that basically is, is a coach, or somebody to be there to help the mom out throughout the pregnancy the really through the delivery. It’s primarily for that delivery time. It is a benefit for the mom who’s doing all of this work. Well, first of all, do you have the capacity to do business? If you’re successful with the outcomes, basically what is your expectation? And if we meet those expectations, is it going to meet… Are you going to be able to deliver that? As an aside, before we get into some of the details in this particular case study, the pattern I use in consulting for businesses is you often have businesses come to you with knowledge of the solution they want. They come in a say, “I want you to do this for me.” And many people are very happy to do that. I always – I don’t know why – but I want to understand why you want this solution, really to get to the underlying “What’s the goal? What’s the need here?” Many times, almost the majority of them – an overwhelming majority I would say – is the case where the solution they have chosen is not the solution that will meet their goals. So, that’s a huge thing. A lot of technology projects fail. And they fail primarily because the expectations weren’t set. And the goals weren’t set properly. And I think as simple as it sounds, these are the question you need to ask before you start a project. Why do you want to do this? What are you expecting? Jacob: Well, sometimes it seems like a solution becomes the shiny new thing that somebody wants rather than not only understanding who they are and what they’re about and what they’re trying the accomplish but what exactly is going to help accomplish those specific ends. And not everybody has the same ends and goals in mind. So, what you’re trying to do is figure out what exactly are you trying to accomplish. That, I think, is one of the differentiators between businesses that are successful rather than businesses that are just plodding along. They’re successful, but they’re going one step in front of the other, just plodding along. And that may be fine, and you may want to optimize that. But let’s understand that before we get started. So, this particular client came in and had a website. And one of the things that’s interesting in the web economy – and I use that term fairly loosely – and that is post-traditional advertising. You are basically judged on what’s on your website, unless you have a business that people just happen to know about you. Jacob: Right. Like Coca-Cola. I don’t know if I’ve ever been to their website. Paul: Right. You’re the five million pound gorilla, that’s fine. But if you’re trying to get market share or make people aware of you, especially in this context where it is was we have this woman who delivers these services, happens to be in New England, will go to Boston, North Shore, that kind of thing. And usually, if you sell your services, in her case, helping deliver a baby, you’re not going to have another chance to remarket to that mom for another year or so, and that’s optimistic. So, you’ve got to find new clients. It’s really got to be that. One of the things that’s critical in this, again, sort of web economy, is that you have a nice shiny website. And people, just like they like shiny objects and brand new cars “Oooh! It’s nice and shiny. It’s really cool and everything is sparkly.” That has to be the ethos on your website. And the minute you put it out there, you’ve got to start planning for your new one. It’s just the case. I like to ask business clients, “How long are you planning to stay in business?” Because if you’re just saying you want a solution that’s going to get you past two years, that’s fine. But the fact of the matter is you’re going to have to reinvent your website every couple years to make it fresh, to make people feel like, if they’re coming back, “Wow. That looks cool. Oh, you painted your room.” They come into your house. They don’t see all of the old things. You’ve improved it. You’ve made it better. But now, you have new people coming in and they’ve seen better websites. Amazon looks better than it did five years ago. They’re tuned, they’re hyper focused on getting those visual cues and getting that clear information across. So, if you’ve got a website from the ’90s that has a menu across the top that doesn’t look good on a phone, you’ve got to change it. It builds your market persona. Jacob: Yeah. I immediately, almost invariably, whenever I visit a website and they aren’t updated to being reasonably modern, like you say, since 2007, I just immediately assume either they aren’t in business anymore or they don’t care about my business, and I go someplace else. Paul: The minute you say these things, they’re obvious. But they’re not obvious beforehand, because you’ve got this woman who has this business, and she is getting enough clients to keep her busy. Why do I need a new website? Well, we don’t know. If we could fork reality and say one reality where we don’t change the website and one where we do, they’re going to have different outcomes. Now, it may be people look at… Let’s say she had a five year old website and the text on it is so good that they look past that. But studies say that people come and they bounce. Half of the people that come to your website are going to go away. And that’s because in the three to five seconds they’re looking at that website, something didn’t hook into their mind to make them go to the next step. So, we looked at some of her analytics. She had some rudimentary analytics. I think her site was actually hosted using GoDaddy tools, which, again, simplifies things. But in that simplification, it makes things minimal. And it didn’t provide the depth of insight we needed. We were able to find out, for example, with her particular thing, is mobile important. Well, it was only like 20% of the people went via mobile. That is right in complete opposite of what we’re seeing across every property. Now, why might that be the case? Well, this is a pretty heavy decision you’re trying to do that. And you wouldn’t equate… People do dating apps on mobile, like Tinder and two second judgement. If you don’t know what Tinder is, it shows you a picture of somebody, and you basically say thumbs up or thumbs down. Swipe right or swipe left. And if you swipe… What is it? I don’t even know. Jacob: I’ve never used it. Paul: Swipe right and you say you like that person. It’s very superficial, obviously, because you’re just looking at a picture. But we saw that in this case, a lot of people weren’t sitting down on the bus or in those mobile moments where they were choosing a doula, a person to be there and help them deliver their baby. They were taking time out and spending time on a desktop. Jacob: We want to be irrelevant in the next five years is what you’re saying. Paul: Well, right now, honestly, if it’s not mobile friendly. I would say that irrelevant in the next five years is how often you reinvent your site, re-optimize it, and show that your innovation is continuing, and that you’re relevant. While mobile wasn’t our first thing, we found that the overwhelming majority of her clients said, “I felt like I got to know you by reading the website.” So, that didn’t me that we throw away all of her content, because that content is very effective. So, we needed to optimize that so that it was easy to read, easy to consume in a friendly, conversational way, both image-wise, friendly fonts, friendly colors. Because this is a relationship that they’re starting. So, as we re-architected that, we wanted to make sure we kept that. So, we’re encouraging this client to commit to developing content. Now, the difficulty with developing content is just like when you were in high school and you had to write a report, and you’re staring at a blank piece of paper. That is the most difficult thing to do in writing. Jacob: For a doula, Mother’s Day is coming up. What are we going to say about that? Paul: Exactly. It’s the summer. If you’re pregnant and you’re going to be delivering in the summer, how do you beat the heat? Those kinds of things. So, those are one level. The content calendar is relevant in time, but there might be trends. Doctors are indicating that there are more this or this or this. Or what about medications. All these different things that you bring in. This particular professional can bring a comment to that, to say, “Here’s what I’ve found has been helpful. Here’s this.” Or, “You’ll encounter this.” A lot of these are certainly going to be first-time moms. But they’re also going to be second-time and third-time moms. But that information is hugely valuable to them. And if you have any trust with your client, your opinion on your expertise is hugely valuable to them. I wrote him back and said, “Well, no. I haven’t done directly, but I did some research.” I took five minutes and did some research and found one, and I said, “This one, I think, based on these factors, might be a good choice for you.” And they were so appreciative of that. Now that, if it were in my sweet spot, I might want to make a blog post out of and post that. And then, where do I put these blog posts? A lot things, if I put them on my website, that’s okay. That might be a good place to store them. But I really need to find places in which I can stand on top of the roof and shout. And you do that through Facebook, certainly for this personal services firm. For a doula, Facebook is perfect, because I can both put it there, I can have my friends like it, and then it gets to be cross-pollinated by friends and referrals. But I can also buy directed advertising on Facebook to people that are pregnant, that are in 30 miles of me. It’s beautiful to do that. And then I can also use Twitter, and I can use Pinterest in this particular way, for this genre, if you will. But the point is you have to be willing to create content and then socialize it. That is work. There’s no getting around it. You can Tweet little things. That’s one of the things. If you have a pithy thing to say, you can do that with Twitter. You can even find good articles out there and tweet about them. Say, “Hey, I found this good article.” Same thing with Pinterest. But you need to commit to making your constituents aware of neat things. Jacob: So, Paul, you just mentioned all these dynamics that are in play with the website and web design. How does this affect the business she’s trying to build? Paul: So, you want a nice new shiny object called a website. What are you going to do? What is your expectation of that? If you had one client last year, do you want two this year? If you had 10, do you want 20? That might sounds doable for a single person. If you had 20, do you want 40? That’s still even doable. Maybe one a week. If you had 40, do you want 80? Wait a second. This is going to be hard. Jacob: Are you trying to acquire another person to work with you? Paul: Well, that’s the whole thing now. Are we building a business or is this me as a professional, personal service? And that’s the crux of the matter. Because some people, having 80 moms giving birth over the next year would be overwhelming. Jacob: Right. And you can’t necessarily push off those clienteles. Paul: No, you cannot. Sorry. We have space for you. Paul: Exactly. We have an opening. So, what are you going to do if success strikes? We’re helping work through that, looking back and saying, “How many contacts have you had and then how many of those turn into clients?” And then we look at how many website visits have you had and how many of that turns into clients. So, if we quadruple that, and she quadruples the number of clients, then how do you deal with that? What if it wants to go to the next level? Well, maybe she has to raise her rates. And that’s not a bad problem to have. She can pick and choose. “No, I’m sorry. I’m not good.” Maybe she makes a relationship with another doula and gets commission. That’s way different than talking about “build me a website.” That’s vastly different. And most people, again, I’m an engineer type, and if you ask an engineer for a solution, if you ask a software developer for a solution, a programmer, their solution will be to program something. If you ask a marketing person how to solve a problem, they’ll say you have to market something. If you ask a carpenter how to solve a problem, they’re going to say you need to use wood and nails to do that. That’s typically what we do. What I’ve tried to do is think outside of the box and say, “Why do you want to do it?” And then how do we want to achieve what you want to do in the area that I may not know. We’ve got to figure that out though. Jacob: Are there questions that come to mind in terms of helping understand the why of a company? Of a business? Paul: I think, again, a lot of these things are obvious when you say them. I think it’s profoundly simple. What is it you want to do? Especially in small businesses, when you get into sole proprietors and things like that, you have to figure out a way to scale your business. But you may not want a scaled business. You may be comfortable with the level of business you’re at. But let’s say you want a company that has 30 employees, and you want to expand your market. You need to be prepared to be able to fulfill that plan. That doesn’t mean you have to do all the engineering work and all of the decisions, and how are we going to add 600 people, and what place are we going to have picked out for office space and all that. But you have to have those notions that if my growth is incremental or exponential, how will I react in those. And if I drive you to thinking about that, that’s going to help you sharpen your focus on everything you do, because you’re telling me that’s the goal. Then we need to look at other things you’re doing and say, “Why are you doing this? You shouldn’t be doing that.” Those can be scary things to deal with, but that’s critical. I do a review every year for an entrepreneurial competition, and I will tell you that everyone, when I ask “Why are you doing this?” — and you can ask that in a lot of different ways… “Well, I really like this” is an answer. That’s good. But why do you think it’s a business? And then they’re like, “I don’t know. I hadn’t thought of that.” Those are things that you have to consider. Jacob: hose are the sort of things that come under fire and that are tested a year or two into the business. And it’s no longer just kind of the fun of getting things up and running. That’s the real engine that’s going to move things forward. Paul: Right. Well, businesses are usually built to make money. That is the universal filter that says how we can say whether a business is successful or not. Even a non-profit has a money component to it. It has a value proposition there. And so you have to be very clear on how those things work so that you can understand and judge whether your business is doing well or not. We get so close to it as business owners, and we fought and sweated so much to get this aspect of the business there, you really need to be in the situation to be able to step back and say, “Is this even worth doing?” And that’s a hard reality. But I think, especially in small businesses, you need to reevaluate that constantly. Paul: To summarize… We had this client come to us. She’s a doula. She works with pregnant moms. She’s there to be their coach and support in the hospital deliver room. In the delivery room. I don’t want to say hospital, because many of them are done with midwives and things like that. They don’t want that tradition, sterile experience of delivery. And so, she’s very good at what she does. She’s adored by her clients. I think she wants to do more. She felt her website was a little old, which is a very important thing. That shows she has some insight there. It’s probably a little bit past old. So, it should have been done two years ago. And I think that’s an important takeaway for business owners. A year is a long time in internet time. And you can help extend the life of your website to two years, two and a half years, by keeping content fresh, keeping pictures fresh, new pictures, things like that. So, we’ve built a new website for her that takes into account the fact that we have mobile devices, takes in all the modern design elements that one might expect, has a plan so that it won’t become antiquated. We have new pictures, we have a gallery of new babies and things like that. We have a plan for content so that she’s going to be writing content, sharing it on social media, Facebook targeted advertising to moms that have identified as pregnant, and Twitter tweets, and also Pinterest, and blog posts on her own site. Here’s lessons learned. Those things, we think – and we’ll be able to measure this and actually report on it over the series of podcasts – will continue to drive traffic to her. They’ll get to know as her as they’ve raved about the fact that “I feel like I know you when I read your website,” and it will reinforce that. And then hopefully they’re refer two friends, and they’ll refer two friends. And then we’re going to have to… Seriously, how does the person who’s doing this deal with the success of their business? That’s a good problem to have. Jacob: That’s a great problem. And I think one of the dynamics that you’re pulling out, though, is that we aren’t just doing this sort of work of just nuts and bolts. Let’s move things around and update the paint on this website. Your approach is to go into the why question, understand the heart of what’s going on, and then from that relationship, build the technical components to help realize those goals. Paul: Absolutely. Again, I have another friend who is impatient and wants a website and wants it now. And we really haven’t figured out what he wants. And that can be frustrating for him. But the problem is, once you go out there, people form an opinion and never come back. And you’ve got one opportunity to make a good impression. Now, moms…there’s more and more of them every day, so it’s a replenished thing. But still, I think you want to have a good message that’s synergizes with the reader and says this is what I want. What I really want to be able to measure with this particular client, is people that make a bookmark to it. “I’m not pregnant now. But, boy, this looks cool. When I am, or when I know somebody that is, I want to refer them to that.” I think that is the proof of success for us. The Edge of Innovation is brought to you in partnership with SaviorLabs.

Cardiac cachexia (CC) is the clinical entity at the end of the chronic natural course of heart failure (HF). Despite the efforts, even the most recent definition of cardiac cachexia has been challenged, more precisely, the addition of new criteria on top of obligatory weight loss. The pathophysiology of CC is complex and multifactorial. A better understanding of pathophysiological pathways in body wasting will contribute to establish potentially novel treatment strategies. The complex biochemical network related with CC and HF pathophysiology underlines that a single biomarker cannot reflect all of the features of the disease. Biomarkers that could pick up the changes in body composition before they convey into clinical manifestations of CC would be of great importance. The development of preventive and therapeutic strategies against cachexia, sarcopenia, and wasting disorders is perceived as an urgent need by healthcare professionals. The treatment of body wasting remains an unresolved challenge to this day. As CC is a multifactorial disorder, it is unlikely that any single agent will be completely effective in treating this condition. Among all investigated therapeutic strategies, aerobic exercise training in HF patients is the most proved to counteract skeletal muscle wasting and is recommended by treatment guidelines for HF. Loncar, G., Springer, J., Anker, M., Doehner, W., and Lainscak, M. (2016) Cardiac cachexia: hic et nunc. Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 7: 246–260. doi: 10.1002/jcsm.12118.

Kim Kardashian picked up a little win in the $100 million dollar lawsuit filed against her involving the popular LuMee cell phone cases. As The Blast first reported, Kim has been trying to get out of a legal battle between SnapLight and LuMee over lighted cell phone cases. SnapLight claims LuMee stole their patent and then proceeded to use Kardashian to promote their line of cases … which caused them to be screwed in sales. Kardashian fired back denying all allegations of wrongdoing saying she was only an endorser of the product and had a role in developing the cosmetic appearance of one of the cases. A judge has agreed with Kim, for now, granting her motion to stay the case until the outcome of SnapLight’s lawsuit against LuMee over the patent. “Thus, resolution of whether the accused LuMee products infringe will simplify and facilitate an efficient resolution of this action,” the judge continues. The order puts the entire $100 million lawsuit on pause until a decision has been made over the patent.

Earlier this week, I woke up to a couple of WhatsApp messages on the proposed Milk Bill 2019. Many of my circles, who happen to be affiliated to agriculture were alarmed at the proposal of the Milk Bill 2019. Dairy produce which is placed on the market or is likely to be placed on the market shall be adequately labeled or identified to facilitate its traceability,” reads part of the regulations. All operations and activities along the milk value chain including milking, milk collection, transportation, processing and distribution on which evidence of quality assurance is required to be observed under this Regulations, shall have all such evidence recorded and the records thereof processed and maintained in accordance with this Part. Farmers will be held criminally liable should their milk have contaminants like aflatoxins. Processors are free to import milk at any time there is no enough milk from the local market. They will determine when the milk is not enough. In a country where smallholder dairy farmers make up to 80% of total dairy producers and produce 56% of total milk in Kenya, then it would be in order to say that this bill is meant to curb their activities whether one is a zero grazing farmer owning one cow, or a open grazing farmer owning multiple number of cows. The dairy sector in Kenya has its own share of challenges.Low productivity, inadequate milk capacity to meet the current demands, logistical and technological and policy constraints too. We are in agreement that the dairy industry does need to be controlled but setting out the rules and not bearing in mind who they will affect is a big slip on the end. I agree with the need for regulations but they need to be done in a systematic way taking into account the issues of all the concerned persons along the milk value chain. To penalize the farmers for low quality of the milk that comes as a result of the feeds to the suppliers makes no sense. Where is the farmer taking the blame at the end of it all? When it comes to the livestock feeds, the suppliers chain determines the quality and the prices of the feeds which means they are best placed to determine the non issues on the feed. How is a small scale farmers supposed to determine the aflatoxins concentrations in his maize feeds? Does the farmer even have the necessary mechanisms and tools to help identify the ppb levels in the maize feeds? You tell me? This country does tire me at times but I am glad that the collective power of Kenyan’s on Twitter has resulted to them suspending the bill (which initially they said didn’t exist) until further consultations are done.

Entrepreneur Jemma Harrison came to us to create an identity for her insta-business Fika & Mooch. The business sells beautiful upcycled furniture and offers classes to inspire others. The challenge was to appeal to a design savvy audience on instagram and create an identity that would allow Fika & Mooch to fight above its weight. We chose to focus on the handcraft and the beautiful creativity that goes into the creation of every piece, from the initial vision to the handcraft process and stylish result. Each piece is individual, a fact we wanted to reflect in the hand drawn typography and the handprinted patterns. Each pattern is inspired by a paint, polish and creative technique. Following the successful launch of the identity we supported on social media strategy and brand application.

So what better solutions do we have to this epidemic desire for the processed and carb-loaded? Here enters GoNanas, the brainchild of School of Information senior Annie Slabotsky and LSA senior Morgan Lerner. GoNanas produces a variety of banana breads, all gluten-free (many vegan friendly as well) that replace all the negative ingredients associated with baked desserts with the kind of stuff that packs a much more nutritious punch, all detailed by Slabotsky in an interview with The Daily. But GoNanas hasn’t always been supplying places like Fred’s, Replenish and Literati with their delicious breads. Like all small businesses, Slabotsky and Lerner started out as freshman with a simple goal in mind: “We’re really driven by our mission in this idea that we can bring healthy, accessible food to busy college kids that are on the go and want to have a dessert but don’t want to grab a donut or a refined sugar-filled muffin. So we want to give this treat — especially to those people who are vegan or gluten-free or nut-free or dairy-free, we are all allergen-free — and being able to provide this healthy, nutritious dessert is what inspires us,” Slabotsky said. What is most appealing about GoNanas is not only the nutritional value of their work, but also the variety they bring to an otherwise standard treat, with current flavors including pumpkin and chocolate chip — and with this variety brings a sustainable edge to their company. GoNanas works with the seasons provide fresh new flavors to their customers while keeping in mind how they can make a positive environmental impact with their food. With an eye on health and sustainability, GoNanas is the perfect one-two punch of a delicious, sustainable snack without all the negative effects of typical, dessert-like foods. Starting with a family recipe, Slabotsky and Lerner are pioneering what it means to satisfy a sweet tooth in a fast-paced, health-conscious society — especially one in a huge college town. With an eye at expanding their clientele in the future, Slabotsky also reflected on the unique quality of their bread. Next time you’re in a mild state of panic reviewing your organic chemistry notes or slamming out a paper on the role of carriages in Jane Austen, think about grabbing a slice of GoNanas bread before running to Walgreens for a candy bar — your body and mind will definitely thank you for it.

(Reuters) - A media adviser helping the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee respond to a sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has resigned amid allegations of his own sexual misconduct, a committee spokesperson said on Saturday. Garrett Ventry, 29, a communications aide to Senate Judiciary committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, was "one of several temporary staff brought on to assist in the committee’s consideration of the Supreme Court nomination," a Senate Judiciary Committee spokesperson told Reuters. "While he strongly denies allegations of wrongdoing, he decided to resign to avoid causing any distraction from the work of the committee," the spokesperson said. Ventry was previously fired from the office of North Carolina House Majority Leader John Bell because a female employee of the North Carolina GOP General Assembly accused him of sexual harassment, according to NBC. In a statement to NBC, Ventry denied any wrongdoing. Christine Blasey Ford claims Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party 36 years ago. Ford has until 2:30 p.m. Saturday to notify the committee whether she plans to testify before congress, according to the New York Times. NBC first reported Ventry's resignation and the allegations against him.

The best part about chocolate chip cookies (besides being delicious, of course) is that they are always a hit–anytime, anywhere, any crowd. The first treat to be devoured at the birthday party. The first goodie to fly off the platters at the bake sale. The perfect pick-me-up after long school days and even longer work weeks. The truth is, there is rarely anything better than an ooey, gooey, extra-chocolatey chocolate chip cookie. Well, until Southern Living steps in. Recently, our Test Kitchen pros decided to bake up a batch of Brown-Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, and the editors went wild. And it all came down to the first (very important) step of browning the butter. Our instructions call for putting six ounces of salted butter in a saucepan, and heating it over a medium flame. Watch how the butter transforms from a creamy yellow to a beautiful golden brown hue, which ultimately gives that classic cookie dough its signature taste and chewy, crisp texture. Melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium, stirring constantly, until butter begins to turn golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Immediately remove saucepan from heat, and pour butter into a small heatproof bowl. Cover and chill until butter is cool and begins to solidify, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°F.

This easy summer salad takes healthy clean-eating up to the next level. Garden fresh arugula combined with nutty red quinoa and our freshest organic blueberries make for a perfect summer dish. FruitShare™ organic blueberries arrive fresh from the grower and are packed with flavor and powerful anti-oxidant cancer-fighting properties. And we love them just for the taste! Quinoa adds essential protein to your diet. While cooked like a grain, quinoa is technically a seed. Arugula is a cruciferous vegetable related to kale. Arugula adds not only fiber and disease-fighting properties associated with eating fresh fruits and vegetables daily—but most especially a wonderful tangy taste. Including walnuts (optional) adds additional healthy fat and protein. Strain and rinse 1/2 cup red quinoa. Add to saucepan with 1 cup water, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until water has been absorbed. Allow to cool or place in the fridge if time allows. Meanwhile, wash and spin arugula greens and place in a bowl. Add diced yellow pepper, green onions, blueberries. Add quinoa and dress salad with blueberry vinaigrette dressing (below) or vinaigrette of your choice. Enjoy fresh. Mix oil and vinegar in an approximate 3 to 1 oil to vinegar ratio. Add shallot, muddled blueberries, salt, pepper and maple syrup to taste. Want to find out more about FruitShare™ and what we do? Follow us!

A new monitor lizard, scientifically known as Varanus semotus, was recently found isolated on Mussau Island. Boasting a long turquoise-spotted tail, this lizard is considered the island's top predator. A new fossil fish found among a collection displayed at Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Texas, boasted some interesting characteristics, including a rotund tuna-like body and "hook-shaped sail" on its back. An extinct kangaroo ancestor wasn't able to bounce like its modern relatives, but they were able to easily adapt to environmental change and out-live their fanged cousins. Fossils of these creatures were recently unearthed in Australia by researchers from the University of Queensland.

OnGuard Connext software delivers complete management and visibility of your Credit Collection functions. It is available as an on-premise or cloud-based solution. OnGuard integrates into any ERP system, and extends it to give you ‘best of breed’ credit collection capabilities. You decide what types of customers you have, and the different styles of collection that you want credit controllers to follow for each of those profiles. For each profile you determine the collection actions/steps that you want taken, at which points in time. E.g. email a reminder when 14 days overdue, schedule a phone call if still overdue at 21 days, change the customer's profile to a new profile at 30 days, electronically exchange all documentation and actions with the debt collection agency at 60 days, etc. You decide what actions to take and when. Each customer is assigned a customer profile and a credit controller. OnGuard can assign the customer profile automatically, manually, or 'proposed and confirmed'. The assignment process can be rules-based, using the data provided from the ERP data. The credit controller can also be aligned automatically with the ERP credit controller information. Implementing OnGuard is easy. OnGuard can be interfaced into any ERP. Customer details and Open Invoice information are refreshed from your ERP each night. OnGuard reviews the open invoice status, and its profile, and generates the necessary actions required to be taken for that status. "Action Types" include reminder letter generation, follow-up phone calls, recommended 'stop credit' actions, etc. OnGuard will have scheduled the appropriate tasks for the appropriate credit controllers. The credit controllers simply need to work their way through their 'actions to do' list. While they are doing that, they have complete online visibility of their customers' current and historical information. All communications are captured, so that there is a complete record of the customer interaction. Emails and files can be attached to those records for later retrieval. "Form letters" can be generated on the fly while talking to customers, and printed or emailed during the conversation. The form letters will be formatted correctly for the customer if the collection is being done on behalf of multiple companies or entities. Follow-up actions can be scheduled at the same time. OnGuard will generate Reminder/Dunning Letters at the appropriate time (not just once a month). If the SMART EMAIL module is enabled, this allows the customer to securely click through the open invoice lists attached to emails, to obtain copy invoices that they have missed. All correspondence can be personalized, branded and translated based on each customer's settings. Promises that the customer makes can be recorded and emailed to the customer immediately, as confirmation of the agreement. OnGuard will monitor those promises, and will generate appropriate follow-up actions if the promised payment is not received on time. Customers may agree to pay off outstanding balances in instalments on a Payment Schedule. For example, that Payment Schedule could be to pay $1000 per week starting next week. That agreed Payment Schedule can be recorded and emailed to the customer immediately, as confirmation of the agreement. OnGuard will monitor those Payment Schedules, and will generate appropriate follow-up actions if the promised payment is not received on time. Customers quite often query the content on particular invoices, leaving them unpaid and overdue. The credit controller is not always able to answer these queries, so the queries have to be referred to other staff in the organization. assign the dispute resolution to 'internal owners', and give them a deadline. There can be multiple tasks assigned to multiple staff to resolve the query. OnGuard will monitor the status of the dispute until resolution, and create an action for the credit controller to follow up if it is not resolved by due date. Customers gain faith in you because they know you will respond to their queries in a timely fashion, and will not 'drop the ball'. Because all actions, promises, disputes and correspondence are recorded in OnGuard, the credit controllers can see their complete workload and priorities. The Credit Manager and Finance Manager have complete visibility of the overall workload and performance. With all of the outstanding tasks and history instantly available, continuity is assured if credit controllers go on holiday, get sick, or resign. The learning curve for new credit controllers is reduced, because they have access to all historical communication and payment history, and the required collection process is captured in the system.

This historic western town sits in the beautiful Yampa Valley at the base of Rabbit Ears Pass. It got its name when the first pioneers to the area thought they heard a steamboat coming down the Yampa River. The sound actually came from the natural mineral springs at the far end of town now named the "steamboat spring." The Ute Indians, along with Shoshoni, Arapahoe, Lakota, Crow, and Cheyenne, were the first settlers of the valley. The Ute Indians spent summers in the valley as early as the 14th century. They took advantage of the 150 medicinal hot springs and the bountiful hunting in the valley. The Utes were forced to a reservation in northern Utah after a confrontation with Nathan Meeker and the U.S. army in 1879. Cattle were introduced into the area around 1860 and ranching is still one of the valley’s chief resources. The Depot in town was once one of the largest cattle shipping centers in the west. Ranching continued to be the main economy of the area until the mid-1900’s. At that time, a new resource was emerging—the Olympic skier. Steamboat has produced more winter Olympians than any other town in North America with over 40 and counting. Steamboat is not only a fantastic place to visit in the winter, but also offers great family vacation opportunities in the summer as well.

ST. LOUIS — One St. Louis-area police officer resigned and another retired in the continued fallout from questionable police actions in the days after the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri. The moves bring to three the number of police officers whose conduct was called into question after the August 9 fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an African-American teen shot multiple times by a white police officer. The three officers are: Lt. Ray Albers, who threatened and pointed an assault rifle at protesters; Dan Page, an officer caught on camera pushing a CNN correspondent before a video surfaced of him ranting about the Supreme Court and Muslims; and Matthew Pappert, an officer fired after making what his chief called “very … inappropriate” Facebook comments about the protests in Ferguson. Albers, a 20-year veteran of the St. Ann, Missouri, police department, resigned Thursday, according to City Administrator Matt Conley. Albers stepped down after the city’s board of police commissioners recommended to the board of aldermen that he be fired or resign, St. Ann Police Chief Aaron Jimenez told CNN on Saturday. Albers was the officer who pointed a semiautomatic rifle at a Ferguson protester and threatened to kill him on August 19 — a tense moment caught on video and posted online. In the video, Albers can be seen walking around with his assault rifle raised, then pointing it in the direction of protesters. Protesters mocked the officer before was led away by another member of law enforcement. A CNN crew also saw the officer point his weapon at those around him as he cursed, shouted and threatened people by saying he’d kill them unless they stayed away. Page, an officer with the St. Louis County Police Department, retired effective August 25, according to St. Louis County police spokesman Brian Schellman. Page was caught on camera pushing CNN’s Don Lemon. He was placed on administrative leave after a video surfaced of him ranting about the Supreme Court and Muslims, among other things. This week, officials in the city of Glendale, Missouri, confirmed that Pappert was fired after making what his chief called “very … inappropriate” Facebook comments, according to a city official. “These protesters should be put down like a rabid dog the first night,” Pappert wrote in one post, according to CNN affiliate KMOV. There were reportedly five inappropriate posts, KMOV said. Pappert, a six-year veteran of the Glendale force, was originally suspended on August 22 after the comments came to light. An inquiry was initiated that day. Glendale, like Ferguson, is a municipality in St. Louis County. The two suburbs are about 15 miles apart. A week ago, Glendale Police Chief Jeffrey Beaton suspended Pappert and cited what he called the “inappropriate posts on his personal Facebook page,” according to the Webster-Kirkwood Times, an online news outlet in the area. Police in the area have come under fire for their heavy-handed response to the Ferguson protests following Brown’s death. An attorney for Pappert said his client was sorry for his online comments.

This is an comprehensive look at CLIP in Freezerworks Basic 7. Learn when and how to use this efficient batch entry tool. Hello and welcome to our class on using Batch Entry in Freezerworks Basic. Batch Entry is an option in Freezerworks Basic. We also like to call it CLIP, Batch Enter CLIP. It stands for Clinical Lab Inventory Program (CLIP). What CLIP is good for is if you are a busy lab that’s storing for short-term purposes only, hundreds to thousands of samples, for perhaps a week or two, in a hospital or a clinic that’s running a lot of tests and maybe within that week or two you may want to pull out an aliquot and run an additional test, you need CLIP to find that vial quickly and run that additional test. CLIP = Clinical Laboratory Inventory Program. A lot of our clients that use CLIP will create their freezers (they’ll be freezers that may even be a walk-in refrigerator or refrigerators with racks) and the racks are separated by days of the week. So on Monday, they run their tests and they store these samples that the tests were run on. Tuesday, they run the Tuesday samples and store them there, and so forth. Then, by the end of the week and they start a new week, Monday comes along again, and if Monday is when they discard last week’s samples (if they’re only storing them for seven days), they would then remove and discard the Monday samples and create a new batch of samples for storage. This is what CLIP is very, very useful for. A large number of clients of ours use CLIP for this purpose. I’m going to show you here how to set up and utilize CLIP to save hours of time on a daily basis finding those samples that need to be located in order to run, for example, an add-on test as well as you know to be added on to the original test that the sample is used for. CLIP can be used for long-term storage as well. If you’ve got a lot of aliquots and you need to store them quickly, you want to put them in the freezer location and you don’t need to store a lot of data just the location of the sample or aliquot, CLIP is very useful for that as well. So, the first thing I’m going to do in this example is set up a freezer or refrigerator much like a number of our clients have. This will be a walk-in refrigerator (a walk-in room where you come in and they’ll have different shelves), the shelves will be listed according to the day of the week, then each shelf will have 12×6 racks which are very common in the clinical lab (they’ll be numbered), and then you’ll find the rack and pull the aliquot out that you need to run the test on. Let’s first create a freezer for this kind of a situation. We go to System Admin and down to Freezers. Let’s go to Configure Freezers. We’re going to add a new freezer. We’ll call it the Walk In. Now in the Walk In we’ll have seven sections, a section for each day of the week. Let’s go ahead and set that up here. So we have the freezer name, let’s now add a new section here. Okay, in the freezer section name the first one will be called Monday. Now Monday will have a shelf, maybe one, maybe two shelves, depending on the size. For the Monday samples, we’ll just say that each day the week has one shelf, so Monday has one shelf and then each shelf will have the racks. We have some default words here; we can go ahead and use rack, so each shelf will have a number of racks. Let’s say that every day we store up to 25 racks (12×6 racks) and we number them 1 by 25 and if we need more we can always add more later. If we don’t need them all it’s no problem, we don’t have to use them all. So Monday has one shelf, 25 racks, each rack has rows and columns, so let’s go ahead and start with row. Now if I use a subdivision name that isn’t here, I can just type it right in, or I can select anyone that’s here already. Let’s go ahead and go row, and we will have Alpha Rows, we’ll have six Alpha rows, starting with “A” and then column will be the next one. Again, I can you either type it in or if it’s there I can go ahead and use it, and there it is. And we have 12 columns in each of our racks. It’s set up like this. Now, our aliquot positions are defined by row and column so we select the default here, row and column, which is fine and that tells us the exact location of the tube that we want to locate. Down here in Properties, we default aliquots to be called Vials. Let’s go ahead and call it a tube. Every tube is going to be assigned a unique position because when we go and find the rack for that tube, we will go exactly right to the location of that tube. If we look at our Configuration picture here, we can see that we have our 12 by 6 rack, and we have our 6 rows and each row has 12 columns. We can go to View Configuration, look at our shelf and we see here that we do indeed have 25 racks, each rack has 6 rows, each row has 12 columns (very standard setup), and if there’s any kinds of setup that needs to be changed, fixed, or made different we go to Define Exceptions. We don’t need to do that here though. Now we’ve made our first shelf in a walk-in refrigerator called Monday. What we want to do is create the rest. We want to save this as a template so that we can use this over and over again, and we’ll quickly create our walk in refrigerator this way. So let’s save as template, and we’ll go to Save. Let’s now add our second section in our Walk In refrigerator. We’ll use the template Monday, which was the one we just created (we made a template out of it), and here it is. We have a copy of Monday, we will call it Tuesday and our Tuesday shelf will be set up the same way. Hit Save. Add a new one, and again use the template Monday and create our next shelf in our Walk In, called Wednesday. Save it, and we continue with this until we’ve got our Walk In freezer set up. There’s Thursday, I’ll save that. Now we need Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and just like that our Walk In refrigerator is now created and ready to be used, and there it is. The next thing we want to do is make sure that we have Sample Types. We go to System Admin – Sample Types, and I’ve got a couple here created already. I’m storing Plasma and I’m storing Serum and these are my sample types. So Plasma, I’ve created 2 ml as our default amount. We don’t need to put Default # Aliquots. When we use CLIP, every time we scan a vial it saves one sample record with one aliquot. a 1:1 relationship. So there’s no Default # Aliquot, its default is going to be one so we’ll just leave that blank. I’ve got a Serum set up the same way. So, create your sample types and the next thing I want to do is go to the System Properties because here we have some fields here that we want to set up for CLIP configuration. Now in CLIP, we want to create a User Defined Field that will hold the Storage Date (the date that we store the sample), and then we also want to create a User Defined Field where we tell it the Discard Date. We also want to know which field is scanned (right now we don’t have any User Defined Fields here), and the number of days to hold samples. So we’re going to need a Sample ID scan number, we’re going to need a Storage Date, and Discard Date. Let’s go ahead and create those next, and then we can fill this out. So break out of here, let’s go back to System Admin and User Defined Fields. Here we are at Add New. We are going to add some User Defined Fields. First one will be Storage Date, we need a storage date. This is a Field Type of Date, so date fields. The length will be hard-coded for the date and this is fine here. We don’t need to do anything else here. We can make it a required field, but CLIP will be a required field as well. We can give it a Tool Tip as well. Let’s leave this blank, for now, we just want a Storage Date and save that. Now we want a Discard Date, and the same thing here, we give it a Date Field Type so that it needs to be a legitimate date that can be scanned and entered here, and we will save that as well. Then the third field we need is the tube identifier, we can call it Tube ID, Sample ID, or something like that. We’ll go ahead and give it a 12 character length. This is a number that’s on the tube that we scan and give it a location. So, let’s go ahead and save these fields. Here are our User Defined Fields: Discard Date, Storage Date, and Tube ID. We can have others as well, this will be fine for our purposes. So, with those created the next thing we need to do is go to Configure Layouts – Samples Entry. Let’s go ahead and put these on an entry screen. Here’s our Default Input, which is our format name, that will be work fine for us. Let’s leave Default Input. Configure it, and now we need to put our fields on our entry screen. This is the entry screen or the viewing screen for looking at a sample and an aliquot. Sample information is up here aliquot information down here. Again, it will be a 1:1 relationship when you use CLIP, so let’s go ahead and add the fields. We go to Samples – Add Fields, and let’s go ahead and click and drag the fields onto the screen. We have our Sample Type, then we have our Tube ID, we have our Discard Date, and we have our Storage Date. We could have free text as well. We could say something like CLIP viewing screen; we can do that as well. Let’s go ahead and call it CLIP Viewing Screen. Okay, we’ll make it bold and put it over here. Okay, I think that we can do a better job of setting up our system. Let’s put the Sample Type here, let’s put the Tube ID here, that’s fine we’ll leave those like this. Let’s line these up here, we’ll select these four and then we’ll use our Alignment Tools so they’re nice and straight like this. In the aliquots section, I need to include the freezer locations. So let’s go to Aliquot – Modify Page, and I’m going to select Freezer Position and append that over here. So displayed fields here will be the freezer position, that’s really all we need. Let’s save that and here they are. I’m going to drag these out a little bit so we can read the locations, and we won’t need all five. So, if I scan in a sample I will have the scanned ID number, I’ll have the Sample Type, the day we stored it, the day we’re going to throw it away, and down here will tell me what freezer it’s in (which we be Walk In), which section (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday), and then the position in the rack. So, looks good, let’s save that here, and now if we go to Add New Samples we can take a look at our entry screen right here. We’re not going to enter samples here in this screen; we’re just going to view them because CLIP has its own entry screen. We have created our freezer, we have some sample types, we created our User Defined Fields, and we’ve created our Samples Entry Screen. Let’s go back now to System Admin – CLIP and finish the CLIP configuration. We want to know which User Defined Field holds the storage date, that would be what we called Storage Date, discard date would be Discard Date, the field used for scanning (that’s our Tube ID), and the default number of days to hold samples. This would be the day CLIP will want to know what would a Discard Date be, if it’s a week afterwards then I’ll put a seven here, it’s two weeks after the storage date, 14, it’s 10 days, 10, and so forth. I’m going to put seven here and we’ll show you how this works when we do it that way. CLIP configuration is now set up, oh the other thing we’re going to want to do is use Quick Search. That’s going to be our Tube ID, and I’ll show you what the Quick Search is. That will give us a little window here that we can have open at all times to scan the ID number and locate the sample we want. So, CLIP configuration and quick search. These are now set up. Let’s go ahead now and scan a bunch of tubes into our freezer. To do that, Sample Management – Batch Enter CLIP, and here’s our Batch Enter CLIP screen right here. We can, at one sitting, enter up to 100 sample aliquot tubes into the system. What we want to do first is select the freezer, that will be our Walk In freezer. Select a section, let’s go ahead and select Thursday, Storage Date – 5/30/2013 is the default date (the Storage Date defaulted to today’s date), I can change that if I’m working on a different day (if I’m back entering, for example, I can change that here), but I think I’ll leave it here at 5/30/2013. And then the Discard Date, as we set up in the CLIP configuration, is seven days after the storage date, so it’s defaulted to seven days after the 30th (the sixth of June). Now a Sample type, if I want to include a Sample Type, I can do that here. We created a couple of these earlier – Plasma, Serum. Let’s say that these are Serum samples and the default amount that I set up in my sample types is 2. So, I’m all ready to start scanning, and down here is where I scan. As you can see, I’ve got a rack here, Rack & Shelf 1. Freezer Thursday each has one shelf. I’m going to start here at Rack 1. If I want to start at Rack 2, Rack 3, or in the middle of a rack, I can Change what we call the next position or NAP here. I could change it to Rack 2 or Rack 3, but I’m starting this at my first rack on Thursday. It’s Thursday morning and I’m ready to store samples so all I’ve got to do is put my cursor in the Tube ID and begin to scan my aliquots. So, I’ve got a rack of tubes here, I’m now going to pull them out and scan the ID number into where they go. You can’t see it here, but in my hand, I’ve got a scanner, and you’ll be able to hear me scan these samples. This ID number is going to go in A 1 and then I put in A 1. This one will go on A 2 and I put it in A 2, A 3 and so forth. So, (I’ll just start skipping around here because your numbers will all be in different areas of course) as you can see, I just go ahead and pull each vial out, scan it, and put it in the place I want it to be in the freezer. Let’s say that after 10, or before 10, I wanted to put 100006, I’ll go ahead and put that here. So I would go ahead and insert it there. So, if I do make mistake you can go back and insert something that didn’t get scanned. I can do that, that way. So here are my numbers I would scan after I fill it in here. To show you how this works, it goes to the next page. I scan and when it gets here, it goes to the next page. I scan it, it goes next page. So I’ve filled my rack, I’m going to go store it, I’m going to put it in in the Thursday freezer now. So, I hit save. When I do that they get saved, and I can select OK. And there they are. So, I filled out a rack. If I want to go look at that rack now, I can go to View Inventory – Explore Freezers. There’s my Walk In freezer. Now, there’s nothing in Monday, nothing in Tuesday, Thursday I have one shelf. I have one rack, and here is my rack. Now, what I’m going to want to do is display the Tube ID here. The Unique Aliquot ID is a number that Freezerworks gives it, that doesn’t mean anything us here. We want the unique Tube ID here. If I double-click on any of these I can go into the viewing screen and see the sample that I just double-clicked and went into. Here’s the viewing screen here, it tells me where in the freezer I need it. So, this is how I can view an entire freezer, by scrolling up and down this Walk In, I can do that. What’s normally going to happen though is you’re going to store these, you’re going to put them away, and then the day is going to come or time comes the doctor says “Hey pull out a certain sample I need to run a test on that, we’re going to run a second test.” How would I do that? The easiest way is in View Inventory. I’m going to Launch Quick Search, here it is, Launch Quick Search. With Quick Search launched, this little window will stay out here all the time, but the cursor is sitting here. So I go ahead, I do my work in the lab, I get a call from the doctor to pull a sample out and test it, so I find the Tube ID that the Lab Information System (LIMS) or Hospital Information System gave this aliquot. I pull it out and here it is, and now I just go ahead scan and locate it, and we’ll just do this here like this. So, I scan it, as you can see the number gets scanned and the aliquot shows up right here. I got one aliquot here. This is the Freezerworks ID, we’ll want to change this to Tube ID here, but it’s the same aliquot. We’ll double-click on it and we can see that 100005 is the tube that I want, and this is the Freezerworks ID that we’re not really using in this situation. So I’ve scanned, I’ve located it, now I go to the Thursday freezer. I go to Rack 1, I pull out Rack 1, I go to A 7, and there it is. I pull it out and I can do my work. I may want to go ahead and delete that aliquot here when I’m done. So, I pulled it out, delete it (Delete Entire Aliquot), when it’s tested it’s gone. I removed it and so Aliquot Number 1 is now gone because I deleted it, and I run my test. I found it very quickly, used it, and everything. The nice thing also about Freezerworks is that as I do these things the Audit Trail keeps track of everything that I’ve done. I can see when the sample was added, I can see this Discard Date and all those kinds of things. I can see the aliquot when it was removed, when it was deleted, when it was created, and so forth. These fields cannon be tampered with, but they’re very useful to prove what you did with the aliquots and samples. You have a backup trail. Who did it, what process I used, and what they did with each sample and aliquot record. It is very useful. So this is what I do then. With CLIP I quickly enter, I quickly locate, and I keep things straight that way. Let’s say that the week has gone by and it’s Thursday again. The First thing I’m going to want to do when I come in the morning is delete Thursday samples. I’m going to remove them from the refrigerator, it’s been a week, and so what I want to do is I’ll go to Simple Search here. I’m going to Simple Search for samples. I want the samples that have a Discard Date of a week later, and so this will come up as June 6th. Hit okay, and here are 14 samples that are ready to be deleted. What I want to do now is go ahead and select them and delete them. This is a view screen. I think what I want to do, we didn’t do this earlier, let me do this now, is make this a little more useful. It’s a list view, it’s called Samples List View and I’m going to add some more fields to that to make this a little more useful. So, I don’t really care about the Freezerworks ID, I want the tube ID. We move Tube ID, I want the Storage Date, I want the Discard Date, and I think that’s probably going to be fine for me. Maybe a Sample Type as well, why not! So, this is the list view. Now, when I save this and I go back. I scan this as you can see now and I’ve got a little more information. I can scan, okay, this is a tube I want. Double-click and go in like this. So again, it’s a week later. Now, let’s go ahead and delete our aliquots. It’s Thursday, and the first thing I want to do is delete last Thursday’s samples. I’ll go to simple search and samples Discard Date is equal to June 6th, hit OK and now I can see that, yes, these are all my tubes for today, the sixth. If I want to double check it, I go in here and say, yeah, these are all Thursday’s samples. I’m going to go ahead and delete them, like so. Before I do that, let me show you another way to delete. This would come in handy because it would be easier if you went to View Inventory – Explore Freezers and went to Walk In, went Thursday, and selected the racks and just delete it in this way. So, here’s our rack and I could delete the whole rack, and I can hit Delete. This will delete the entire rack of all these samples. I can do that as well, and this would be a nice easy way, so now Thursday is now empty. Now, whenever a section is empty you’ll see that when I click on the “X” box it disappears so Thursday is now empty it has no aliquots. However, the way Freezerworks is set up, you have a sample and you have aliquots listed to that sample. This Explore Freezers only deletes the aliquots, but the sample records are still in the system, so it still works but it’s not as clean. So, what I also want to do after that is I want to go and do my Simple Search in the same fashion, and go and find my June 6th samples again. As you can see, even though I deleted those 14 aliquots, the sample records still remain. I have not deleted the sample records because that those get deleted here, so if you can see if, I go in here I still have my sample record but my aliquots are now deleted because I deleted them at that last screen. As I scroll to the next I can see that that the aliquots are all gone. So, that’s a big thing you want to know about Freezerworks, aliquots are linked to samples, if I delete the aliquots in Explore Freezers like I did before, I can do that, but the samples are still there, so over time, you may find you’ll have all these empty sample records. A nice easy way to do that would be to go ahead and do your Discard Date Search, list them all, select them all, and then press Delete and you can delete all your aliquots of your sample records that way. So, now my system is totally clean, I’ve got no samples here. I’ve deleted them all. If I’m going to go ahead and do the search, like so, I will find no matching samples. The CLIP also has an automated way to regularly delete the samples that need to be deleted, to help the administrator who needs to do this task to do it quickly and easily. Let me show you how this is set up and used. You set this up at System Admin – System Properties, and over here we have something called Automatic Export. This gives you the ability to have a user, for example here, an administrator. When he logs in, on a daily basis or every other day, in this situation you’d want every day to log in and Freezerworks will tell him and that he can now delete a sample that needs to be deleted. You enable this, select the user that would be doing the operation, and then set the Export Frequency. So, every day this Automatic Export will pop up for the user, Admin, when you log in. If there’s a three here, then every third day he’ll be asked if he wants to an Automatic Export. One thing to know about Automatic Export is that it will select samples that we’ll be ready for deletion by looking at the Discard Date and coming after the Discard Date. If your Discard Date is the same day that you’re running Automatic Export, those samples will not be discarded. It’s all samples that have not been deleted after the Discard Date. So, it looks at the Discard Date, it selects all those samples with aliquots that come after that Discard Date. The other thing the Automatic Export does is keep your data file clean from deleted records. When you delete a record, a sample or aliquot, or sample with aliquots, in Freezerworks the record is marked as deleted, but it hasn’t been actually deleted from the database. In older versions of Freezerworks and CLIP, over time these deleted records that weren’t totally removed would start to build up and the program would suffer from performance. So, what we did was created a way to delete deleted records. Also, the Audit Trail will leave the record, which is cleaned up as well. So Automatic Export will delete the records, delete the audit trail from the deleted records, but before doing so give you a text file that you can save. So, let me show you how this will work then. Let’s go ahead and save this. What I’ve done is I went ahead and entered some more samples into our database; here I’ve got 14 sample records with a Discard Date of the 17th of June. So, if this is the 17th of June and I want to delete all of them and clean it up (clear them out and delete them), I would select them all (highlight them all), and hit Delete. Let’s go ahead and just delete a couple of them here. Let’s just delete these last two ones here. I’m going to select and hit Delete, and I get a print message. I’m not going to verify the print, I’m just going to delete them, so I select Yes here. Now we have 12 samples, those two have been deleted. They have not, however, been totally removed from the database. If I come down to List of Deleted Samples, I’ll see them here. So, if I want to go back and look at deleted samples in a view only aspect, I can do that look. I can look at the Audit trail and that kind of thing. If performance starts to lag and I need to delete and clean out my deleted records, then that’s what I would use. Automatic Export can help me to do that on a regular basis. So, let’s go ahead and do that. What I’m going to do is exit out and log in back into Freezerworks as admin. I’m going to go ahead and quit, I’m going to log back in now as admin, and we’ll see the Automatic Export option show up. Now, when I select OK, the program will see that I’m admin and it’ll look to see if it’s time to run Automatic Deletion. And it is, I haven’t run it today, I asked to do it every day. I’m going to select Yes here, and here are the results of the search. Freezerworks has found 14 sample records that have an expiration date greater than today’s date, which is the 18th of June. Now, we deleted two of those, it’s selecting those as well, so there are actually 14 that are going to be discarded. 12 that have not that marked as deleted 2 that have been marked as deleted. Now, the reason why we save deleted samples in the Audit Trail is so that you have a long-term backup of everything you did. You can go back and see the samples I came in and deleted, that kind of thing. It’s good for quality assurance, but for performance reasons, if you decide you want to delete those deleted records but have a backup of the information, we give you the ability to do this by creating export files. Let’s go ahead and discard samples on or after this date and let’s go and select today’s date here. It would be samples discarded on or after June 18th. Actually, let’s go ahead and just select the day before just to make sure we have everything. Select Save, and the first thing it’ll do is it’ll create a file of the exported audit trail information. Select OK and let’s go ahead and find a place we want to save these things. I’ll make this 2013 text, and I also need a file name for deleted records file, so it’ll be two files that we’re saving. I’ll give this one a “d” for deleted records. So, I’ve saved a text file of all of the information. So, now when I go to my View Inventory, remember I have those records for the Discard Date of yesterday, the 17th, we see that it’s clear and they’re gone. If we go and look at the Deleted Samples we see that those two deleted samples that had earlier are deleted as well. We’re keeping the data file small and manageable by removing extraneous information that we don’t need anymore. If I do need it, however, I can get it by selecting those data files. Let’s go and take a look at those now. Those text files that I created and they are right here. Let’s take a look at the first one, and this is all of the information for the samples that were deleted exported on this date from the Audit Trail (what was done, which user did it, and so forth). That’s the Audit Trail, let’s open up deleted records, here they are, the records that were deleted and the day that they were deleted. This concludes our class on using the CLIP Batch Entry in Freezerworks Basic 7. This is again, Rick Michels, thank you for your time. If you have any questions please give us a call (877-289-7960) or email us at [email protected]. We are happy to help you through it here at Dataworks, thank you.

Women's and gender studies is a field that integrates knowledge from a variety of perspectives to study the situations of women in different world cultures, including different ethnic groups within the United States. At Saint Louis University, you’ll study focus on the role of women in today’s society and the historical contributions of women in building nations and cultures. Women's and gender studies minors are required to take a total of 18 hours. The remaining 12 credit hours of coursework will consist of electives at the 2000-level or above. All courses must be listed or cross-listed with women's and gender studies. Cross-listed courses do not have to be taken under the women's and gender studies number to count, and courses can double and triple count for two majors, for minors and for core requirements. If a class is not already cross-listed as a women's and gender studies course, it is possible to request permission for it to count toward the major or minor. Students who study women’s and gender studies pursue careers in advocacy, health care, education, business, journalism, law, social services, government and the arts. Graduate education opportunities include further work in women’s and gender studies, political science and law. The minor in women’s and gender studies is led by an interdisciplinary team of faculty members who teach courses in the humanities and social sciences on gender issues. To apply to minor in women’s and gender studies at SLU-Madrid, you must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 and complete a declaration of major/minor form, available in the Madrid Office of the Registrar.

Dried spent yeast (DSY) was used as a low-cost nitrogen supplement for ethanol fermentation from sweet sorghum juice under very high gravity (VHG) conditions by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NP 01. The fermentation was carried out at 30ºC in a 5-litre bioreactor. The results showed that DSY promoted ethanol production efficiencies. The ethanol concentration (P), productivity (Qp) and yield (Yp/s) of the sterile juice (total sugar of 280 g l-1) supplemented with 8 g l-1 of DSY were not different from those supplemented with yeast extract and/or peptone at the same amount. The initial yeast cell concentration of 5 x 107 cells ml-1 was found to be optimal for scale-up ethanol production. In addition, an increase in sugar concentration in inoculum preparation medium (from 10 to 100 g l-1) improved the ability of the inoculum to produce ethanol under the VHG conditions. When S. cerevisiae NP 01 grown in the juice containing 100 g l-1 of total sugar was used as the inoculum for ethanol fermentation, the P, Qp and Yp/s obtained were 108.98 ± 1.16 g l-1, 2.27 ± 0.06 g l-1 h-1 and 0.47 ± 0.01 g g-1, respectively. Similar results were also observed when the ethanol fermentation was scaled up to a 50-litre bioreactor under the same conditions. The cost of the sweet sorghum for ethanol production was US$ 0.63 per litre of ethanol. These results clearly indicate the high potential of using sweet sorghum juice supplemented with DSY under VHG fermentation for ethanol production in industrial applications.

Criminal justice reforms will depend on healing this population group too frequently left out of the equation. Violent offenders, more often than not, are victims long before they commit their first crime: A former inmate who spent two years in a Boston prison for robbery was given away by his mother, a heroin addict, by the time he was 5 — the same year her boyfriends began beating him up; when he was 8, he watched another kid get shot in the head in his housing project. Another man, in and out of prison from age 18 to 33 for assaults and drug crimes, grew up getting routinely beaten by his mother and frequently saw neighbors get stabbed and shot in the New York community of his childhood. Each man, unlike many of the perpetrators who victimized them, faced harsh punishment. The complex reality of their lives — and the lives of so many other men and women like them — as both violent perpetrator and violence victim is one the U.S. justice system is ill-prepared to acknowledge or treat. This is a mistake that has put limits on criminal justice reforms designed to reduce the prison population. NEWSLETTER: The top things you may have missed in policing. Find it on Fridays. The push for sentencing reform is a strong one. For certain crimes, many states have rolled back long sentences and some prosecutors are even declining to press for maximum prison time. Even so, elected officials are careful to say we should reconsider the tough-on-crime approach only for non-violent drug offenders. Victims of violence, they say, must be protected. The truth, however, is that most people who go to prison have had to deal with violence all their lives. When you listen to the stories of people who have committed violence, the distinction between victim and offender almost falls apart. In a three-year Boston Re-entry Study, for which I was the chief investigator as part of a Harvard team, half of the 122 people we interviewed told us they had been beaten by their parents; 40 percent had witnessed someone being killed; 30 percent grew up with other family violence; and 16 percent reported being sexually abused. Nine out of ten of the people we interviewed got in fights throughout adolescence. An additional 50 percent said they were seriously injured in assaults or accidents as children. Prison is also dangerous. Three-quarters of the people we interviewed reported they had seen an assault involving inmates or prison staff. There are lifetimes of trauma that fill the prison system, and reform efforts have failed to confront issues of violence. Recent initiatives have reduced drug sentences and legalized marijuana. But direct drug crimes account only for a small share of state prison populations, where the majority of inmates in the USA are incarcerated. Most state inmates, 54.5 percent, have been convicted of violent crimes (though in many cases even those crimes may be drug related). Reductions in incarceration will depend, at least in part, on reducing sentences for violent offenses. The political challenges for achieving criminal justice reform are formidable. Political debate portrays violence as a characteristic of certain people — thugs who are beyond redemption, people with no conscience. Using anger and fear to punish them with life sentences or death has become an intractable part of public policy. The violent offender of political debates is mostly a fiction. Violence is as much a characteristic of places as of people. Poor and chaotic homes, disorderly and low-income neighborhoods, and the prisons and jails that lie, in some cases, in close proximity to them, are places where violence frequently happens. Some of the same violent conditions (domestic abuse, childhood sexual trauma) also exist in middle- and upper-income households. But people in higher-income areas also have more economic opportunity, greater access to mental health treatment and the ability to more easily leave bad situations behind. Many of the people we interviewed found peace in their lives after incarceration by re-uniting with their families, finding stable employment, and in some cases by moving away from neighborhoods that could still be threatening and unpredictable. Changing social context was an antidote to the violence they had confronted throughout their lives. What would justice look like if we recognized that violence is contextual often attaching to conditions of poverty and that victimization haunts those who have hurt other people? The anger that drips from our harshest sanctions — the death penalty, life without parole and lengthy enhancements for third-strike felonies — might be softened by mercy and compassion. This would mean re-examining long sentences for violent crimes, expanding parole release, and considering past victimization as a mitigating factor in sentencing. We should also take victimization more seriously and attend directly to the needs of those who have been hurt. A sincere acknowledgement of harm by the perpetrator, in ways that survivors want and that guarantees their safety, can be important for finding peace. This kind of accountability asks for moral agency from the perpetrator to struggle with his actions in a way that incarceration does not. Finally, if the chaotic circumstances of poverty can contribute to and perpetuate violence, then justice is found less in punishment and more in addressing the circumstances of poverty. Relieving untreated addictions, fixing issues surrounding mental illness, and alleviating other social insecurities that accompany the harsh conditions of American poverty must be part of the compassion equation.

The shocking, cold-blooded murder of two New York City police officers Saturday has raised fresh questions about whether prominent Democrats — New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. in particular — have gone too far in their criticism of law enforcement and, at least in part, caused this weekend’s brutal slayings. Former New York Gov. George Pataki, for example, tweeted that Mr. de Blasio and Mr. Holder have used “divisive anti-cop rhetoric” and, in turn, helped inspire Saturday’s shooter. The gunman, 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley, wrote on social media that he intended to kill cops and was deeply angry about the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, who were killed by police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, and New York, respectively, earlier this year. The incidents led to nationwide protests and personal interventions by both Mr. Holder and President Obama, both of whom have urged law enforcement to develop better relationships with the communities they serve and end any singling out of black Americans. Mr. Obama, among other things, recently created a high-level task force on “21st century policing” and charged the group with making recommendations on how law enforcement can better interact with citizens. Brinsley, who later killed himself, murdered Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu on Saturday, approaching their marked patrol car and opening fire at point-blank range. Republicans were careful to blame Brinsley alone for his horrific acts, but some suggested that Mr. Holder and others may have created an environment where anti-police attitudes can thrive. “The tone they’re setting around the rhetoric regarding the cops incites crazy people. But I blame the shooter,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, during an appearance on “Face the Nation” on CBS on Sunday. A Florida police officer also was killed in a shooting early on Sunday morning, according to Reuters and other media reports. A suspect reportedly is in custody, though a motive has not yet been given. Meanwhile, Mr. de Blasio has found himself in a near war with his own police department over perceived anti-cop positions. Officers turned their backs on the mayor as he entered a press conference Saturday to address the murders of Mr. Ramos and Mr. Liu. Others have criticized Mr. de Blasio for his mayoral campaign last year, which partly was centered on opposition to the New York City Police Department’s controversial stop-and-frisk program. “Quite frankly, the mayor ran an anti-police campaign last year,” former New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday. But others say it’s wrong to try and connect the outrage and protests following the Brown and Garner deaths to any subsequent violence against police, including Saturday’s incident.

When is Myanmar National Day? How long until National Day? This holiday next takes place in 217 Days. National Day is an annual public holiday in Myanmar. It is celebrated on the tenth day following the full moon of the month of Tazaungmone. The holidays marks the beginning of student led protests against the British in 1920. It is Myanmar's National Day and should not be confused with Myanmar's Independence Day, which takes places on 4 January. In 1886, Myanmar (then called Burma) came under British control, with Rangoon (the capital. now called Yangon) being an important port situated between India and Singapore. From the earliest days of colonisation, there was a strong feeling of resentment against the rule of the British, with the student protests of 1920 seen as the start of the resistance movement that ultimately led to independence from Britain in 1948. In 1920, on the tenth day following the full-moon day of Tazaungmone on the Burmese lunar calendar, students from the Rangoon and Judson Colleges began protests against the British administration’s Rangoon University Act of 1920. The Act raised the status of Rangoon College to that of a university, but the changes in the administration and curriculum were seen to exclude the local Burmese population. The protests ignited a call for nationalism in the students, the basis of which formed the key elements of the movement for independence. The national holiday is a day to remember not just the 1920 protests, but also the key role played by students in the creation of modern day Myanmar.

Can getting exercise moderate alcohol's lethal effects? Can getting enough exercise moderate alcohol's lethal effects? Scientists compared how physical activity affected association between alcohol intake and death from all causes. A new study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, suggests that following the recommended weekly guidelines for physical activity, may offset the heightened risks of death from all causes that are associated with drinking alcohol. High alcohol intake has long been associated with a heightened risk of death from all causes, including heart disease, stroke, and various types of cancers. Interestingly, some studies suggest that alcohol consumption and physical activity could share common biological disease pathways, working in opposite directions. In the latest research, scientists attempted to find out whether physical activity affected the association between alcohol intake and death from all causes. They utilised data taken from national health surveys carried out in England and Scotland for the years 1994, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2004 and 2006. Participants in the surveys were asked about the frequency and type of their alcohol intakes, as well as their physical activity levels. The new research zeroed in on those aged 40 or older. Weekly alcohol intake was classified as either "occasional", meaning not within the last week, "within UK government weekly guidelines", which at the time of the study was 14 units for women and 21 for men, "hazardous" up to 35 units for women and 49 for men, and "harmful", meaning more than 35 and 49 for men and women respectively. Around 15% of the survey participants were either lifelong abstainers or former drinkers while roughly 13% said they exceeded the former recommended weekly maximum. Of those who said they had had a drink in the past week, the average intake was slightly more than 6 units. Physical activity – defined as walking for any purpose and formal exercise or sport undertaken in the preceding 4 weeks – was measured in Metabolic Equivalent of Task (ME) minutes. This expresses the amount of energy, or calories, expended per every minute of physical activity. Weekly physical activity was categorised as either "inactive", meaning less than 7.5 MET/hour, "active at the lower end of the recommended guidelines", more than 7.5 MET/hour, and "active at the upper end", meaning more than 15 MET/hour. Just over a quarter of respondents said they did not do any physical activity at all, while just around 61% fell into the "inactive" category, not achieving the recommended 5 MET/hour a week, which corresponds to 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity. Nearly 40% of participants met the lower recommended weekly target while just under one in four achieved the higher target. The average weekly score for all those surveyed was 8.8 MET/hour. During the monitoring period, stretching to the end of 2009 in Scotland and the end of 2011 in England, 5735 deaths were recorded among the 36,370 respondents for whom complete data was available. After taking into account potentially influential factors, a direct association emerged between drinking alcohol and death from all causes, including cancer. When compared with lifelong abstinence, drinking in the past and drinking at hazardous levels were clearly associated with an increased risk of death from all causes. In addition, a higher weekly intake, was associated with a greater risk of death from cancer, even if that intake was below recommended limits. Interestingly, occasional drinking was associated with a slightly lower risk of death from all causes, including heart disease, but not cancer. When the researchers factored in physical activity to their analysis, the risk of death for all those surveyed varied according to the amounts of exercise undertaken. The participants who failed to meet the minimum recommended level of 7.5 MET/hour had a heightened risk of death from cancer that was dose dependent. This risk however, reduced or disappeared completely in those participants who were physically active, for all those who did the minimum amounts of exercise upwards. Meanwhile, the association between alcohol and heightened risk of death from all causes was slightly lower for all those up to the hazardous drinkers. The researchers point out that this is an observational study so no direct conclusions can be drawn regarding cause and effect, especially because they didn't measure things like drinking patterns or dietary factors, which could have affected the results. Nevertheless, the findings suggest that physical activity has the potential to promote health and to moderate some of the harmful effects of drinking, even when undertaken at the minimum weekly levels. "Our results provide an additional argument for the role of [physical activity] as a means to promote the health of the population even in the presence of other less healthy behaviours," the researchers write. "The public health relevance of our results is further emphasised by the recently updated alcohol consumption guidelines review by the UK Chief Medical Officer that found that cancer mortality risk starts from a relatively low level of alcohol consumption."

The story has continued with the pair of mating wild swans who call Mill Creek on the Chelsea/Revere line their home. The male swan, Gus, arrived at the Creek nearly two years ago, and neighbors on the Chelsea and Revere side befriended the swan (or maybe it was the swan that befriended them). In any case, Chelsea resident Patricia Buckley has taken to observing and feeding the swans for quite some time. She and others were very surprised last fall when Gus left his cushy home for about two weeks, only to return with a female. Soon the pair had mated and, since late May, the female has kept a tidy nest of swan eggs just yards away from the parking lot at the Cronin Skating Rink. Those eggs hatched earlier this month, with two of the five eggs becoming viable new swans – as shown here. Sad to say, though, it appears that water rats killed one of the baby swans, and the other appears to have drown. Rats also destroyed the remaining three swan eggs.

December 2008 and September 2010. Then: Wispy hair, tiny shoes, and size 18 mos. jeans. Now: A cute shoulder length, wavy 'do, and a size 3T terry dress. The changes go so much further than clothes size. In 2008, the slide was a brand new world that they had just recently conquered. They didn't interact much with other kids on the playground. In fact, they were scared of everyone else. (Rightly so! My little girls were so tiny! And breakable!) They were just mastering speech and language. Our one nap a day was keeping me sane- but I soaked up every minute of watching these two learn new things. That little light in their eye when something grabbed hold and they could understand. It was an amazing time. To be perfectly honest, I don't vividly remember my girls when they were the cute bundles of adorableness that they were in December of 2008. Now I have a relationship with them. One that goes beyond the taking care of them realm. I can express my thoughts and feelings to them, and they understand. Saying "I love you" means so much more to them than it did then. They're learning new and more complicated ideas and processes. Before, their personality was still in flux. It varied from day to day. Who was shy, who was more outgoing, etc. Now they have solid personalities. Consistent preferences. Like and dislikes. Isn't motherhood crazy? I can't believe I get to watch these amazing little baby girls grow up to be amazing kids, and someday (crossing fingers it will be in the very, very, distant future) amazing women. No growing up for this one. oh my gosh. This post made me cry. You are such a good mom. I hope you never stop blogging so I can keep up with you and learn from you. Seriously, you're like the big sister I've never had. Your family is beautiful. Love you all!!

SANTA MONICA, CA — Company 3 had added Jeremy Sawyer (Hulu's The First, Showtime’s I’m Dying up Here) to its roster of colorists to accommodate the studio’s rapidly expanding slate of TV projects. Company 3 has more than 20 television series currently undergoing post at the facility, including Lost in Space (Netflix), Insecure (HBO) and Jack Ryan (Amazon). Sawyer has distinguished himself on a number of major series, including The Walking Dead (AMC) and The Affair (Showtime). He brings a refined sensibility and deeply-entrenched understanding of the TV post workflow. The move is somewhat of a homecoming for Sawyer. As an assistant and then colorist at Company 3, he learned a great deal of his craft from CEO/founder Stefan Sonnenfeld. He returns to the company following a successful tenure at Light Iron and before that, MTI. Prior to his initial stint at Company 3, Sawyer worked at the now defunct Syndicate. He started his career in post production at Finish Post in his native Boston. “We’re very excited to welcome Jeremy back," Sonnenfeld says. “He is an excellent artist and he has a keen understanding of the unique challenges involved in coloring episodic programming. He's a perfect addition to our team, especially as demand for top-notch TV post continues to explode." "I'm very excited to be back at Company 3," Sawyer adds. "I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had since I left, but there's really nothing like being part of Company 3's incredible talent roster and having the company's amazing technical powerhouse behind me!" Sawyer will continue his work on the third season of the Netflix series, Easy, for which he's colored every episode to date.

Kim at Large Family Logistics shares an incredible story from a family she met at camp. They bought an old school building in which to live. Someone in my hometown did this with the WPA-era post office, but a school building is even cooler. Brings a whole new meaning to the concept of a "home gym." You might also want to check out 100 Acre Wood's series on low-cost housing, if you haven't already found it through the Festival of Frugality. DOB has a fantasy of persuading all of his five younger brothers to purchase an old school building, converting the various classrooms into family apartments. Then we'd have the gym for the kids to play in on rainy days, the playground for when it was sunny, and a big kitchen and cafeteria for potlucks a couple of times a week. :-) It sounds like fun, but first they'd have to grow up and have families and still all want to live together!
