Poisoned M&M's
The other day I was having a discussion about the Syrian refugees. My argument was that we should welcome them into our country. My opponent's argument was that we should not — for various reasons, most of them you have probably heard or even hold. Eventually, he said: I have a bowl of M&M's, 10 of them are poisonous. You go first.
My response was a sarcastic: Let's dump them all.
Him: I didn't say get rid of them. I said you go first.
Now, let's discuss how ridiculous his argument is. Why is it inappropriate to use the analogy of poisoned food in comparison to the Syrian refugees, migrants, and even ISIS? Well, to begin with, it is ridiculous to compare a person to poisoned food. Why? Because what do you do with poisoned food? Do you eat it? Do you let someone else eat it? NO! Of course not, you throw it out in such a manner that no one will eat it because IT IS POISONED!
When comparing the Syrians to poisoned food, you are saying – whether you intend to or not – that they should be thrown away because a few of them are "poisoned." BECAUSE YOU DO NOT RISK EATING POISONED FOOD.
Comparing them to a bowl of partially poisoned M&M's is taking away their humanity. With such arguments, you get Trump saying that we should force them to registrar and wear identifying markers to distinguish them as others. Does that sound familiar?
It is wrong to treat people as others as less than human. Why? To put it simply, we as a species decided so during WWII and Hitler did the same – and worse – to the Jewish people of German.
Now, is poisoned food is a bad analogy and we want to stick with a food theme — what is a good analogy?
A quote that I have repeatedly seen on Facebook and accredited to Malala Yousafzai sums it up good: With guns you can get rid of terrorists. With education, you can get rid of terrorism.
Your ultimate goal will determine which stance you take. If you want to make yourself feel better today, you may take the gun approach — poisoned M&M's. However, that is superficial. Increasing security to obscene levels and denying human rights to an entire nation and religion, will not make you safe. You may feel like you are doing something to increase your security, but ultimately, your efforts are probably in vain.
However, if your goal is to be safe, you will take the educational approach. It takes more time, and the affects usually do not present themselves until years down the line, but the efforts have much longer lasting effects.
What food analogy works best with the Syrian-ISIS crises? Dirty food – not poisoned. Imagine you were carrying a tray of cookies, and you stumbled a bit. A few cookies fell of your tray. Some on to the side walk, and a few into a pile of manure. What do you do with all the cookies?
With the poisoned M&M's scenario, we had to throw out all the M&M's because we did not know which were poisoned and which were not. With the cookies, we do know which are safe to eat–and which are not. We know which cookies fell into the manure. Those we throw out. There is no saving them. But the ones that did not? Those can be brushed off. Those we can save. Then there are the ones still on the tray. Those are still perfectly good.
The flaw with this analogy is that we witnessed the cookies falling. We know precisely which ones to do what to with little effort. With the Syrians and potential ISIS members it is a little more difficult. We can't make an instant judgment as to which basket they fall into. That is why the refugee placement program takes so long to complete — 18 to 24 months or longer! If we try to make a quick decision about individual people we start thinking like Trump — they are all potentially poisoned — and thus start acting like Hitler.
I do not make light of Nazi comparisons, and dislike it when others do. However, if I recall my history right. It all started with registering a group of people. Marking them as other. Will we treat the Syrians as horribly as the Nazi's treated the Jews? More than likely not; however, the US also rounded up people of Asian decent during that time because of the attack on Pear Harbor. All I can remember of that situation — because it was barely mentioned in my history classes — was that they were not exactly treated nicely.
What I do know is this: if we start treating the Syrians as less than humane by taking way their human rights, it will only get worse.
To paraphrase a Lorax I know: unless someone cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to change. It's just not.
Elementary School Fundraisers … Parents be careful how you handle them!
During elementary school, I had mixed feelings about the school fundraisers. On one hand, I thought they were fun and the items in the catalogs were cool… and the rewards were even cooler, but … I was never able to sell a lot for the fundraisers, so I hardly ever got any of the prizes. This was in part to the lack of support from my single father. After all, when a 7 year old lives out in the country, how can she be expected to sell much?
It has been over a year — almost two years — since I have graduated college. Wow! Time flies! It has been a little difficult on the job front. Don't get me wrong. I have been working, but I have been having trouble finding something that empowers me… that feeds my passions. Why is that? Well, for one. For the longest time, I refused to work a sales job. The trouble with that is many companies use their sales reps to vet employees for "hire up" positions, some of which I want(ed).
Why was I putting off getting a jobs in sales if I wanted a hire position – or a different position – that require such experiences? It is because sales scare the crap out of me — as do people but that is a different issue. Over the last few weeks I have been contemplating why it is that I have such an aversion to sales. After much contemplation and following train reactions, I have come to the conclusion that … it is my father's fault.
In the third grade, I really wanted to do better than in years past. Being 9 at the time, so of course I would need parental help. Now, I don't remember how I approached my father on the subject; however, I remember his response — almost verbatim. "You are going to school to learn. Not to be a salesman."
Since then until now I have been opposed to a sales position. There are other factors that have a played a role, but that was the defining moment that pushed me flying down that path. The other factors just kept me there.
Now, my advice is not to ensure that your kid gets the top price during the fundraiser. My advice is to be careful how you address the situation. This is a great learning opportunity for your child. Don't pass it up, and most definitely don't teach him or her the wrong thing.
The American job market is predominately a sales market. Your child will be selling one thing or another to one person or another. A few weeks ago, I received the most outstanding advice from someone on the Leadership team of The Oklahoman Media Company (which I don't remember verbatim) — You are all in customer service. You are all selling a service. Wheth you are interacting with a customer or a co-worker, put your best foot forward, do your best.
No matter what your child grows up to be. She or he will be selling their services. So during the school fundraiser, take the time to teach them some important skills about interacting with people, sharing information, and other skills involved with selling.
I am slowly but surely cover coming the challenges of my upbringing. My last day with BigWing (a brand of The OMC) will be November 27th, and I start my next career on November 30th. Going from an Admin Assistant to a Credit Consultant — Inbound Sales for Progrexion.
This move will be an outstanding experience and much personal and professional growth is in my near future.
Wish me luck!
Happy Holidays!
The holidays are upon us!

How to Contribute to Society: Note 1
A random thought and comment — November 9, 2015
Hmmm…. Perhaps I should write about how to contribute to society. Thoughts?

Growing up in a Christian home or even following a moral code does not make you a Christian. Being a Christian means you have come to the end of yourself and have realized that you need a Savior. God doesn't keep a report card of your failures, waiting to strike you with punishment every time you mess up. Though He does want us to pursue holiness, striving to glorify Him in all that we do.
"But know this, that in the last days difficult times will come: For men will be....lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness but denying it's power." (II Timothy 3:1-5)

Decades of bird signals, songs digitized for scientific research
The world's largest scientific archive of animal signal recordings, the Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds, is partnering with other institutions to co-curate and digitize an enormous archive of animal audio and video recordings from their vaults. The analogue material in the library's collection at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology includes recordings of mainly birds, but also frogs, fish and insects, going back a few decades. The collections are a bonanza for animal behaviorists, who use the archives to study birds and other animals from all over the world, including some that are now extinct, such as the imperial woodpecker. Accessible digital audio recordings of animal signals will make it easier for researchers to investigate a host of scientific questions, including the responses of animals to anthropogenic noise and other human activities. By providing a useful co-curation system and encouraging collection of recordings along with physical specimens, this project is expected to transform the way researchers collect and use biological specimens in the future.

Considering the plight of home buyers who are "waiting with concern to get their money refunded", a bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra gave the liberty to Justice Dhingra to nominate a Chartered Accountant and a valuer for speedy auction of over 600 acres of unencumbered land of the firm.
"We constitute a Committee headed by Justice S N Dhingra, former Judge of the High Court of Delhi. Justice Dhingra would be at liberty to nominate a Chartered Accountant and a valuer accredited with the Delhi High Court or this Court.
"Justice S N Dhingra shall formulate suitable terms and conditions for auction of the above properties on as-is-where is basis, to be notified in the newspapers," the bench, also comprising Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, said.
Unitech Ltd has recently given a list of its unencumbered land properties located at Agra, Varanasi, Bangalore and near Chennai.
The bench also asked lawyer Pawanshree Agarwal, who is assisting the court as the amicus curiae, and Abhinav Agrawal, the counsel for the real estate firm, to assist the Justice Dhingra panel in the auctioning of over 600 acre of land of the Unitech Ltd.
"The purpose of nominating of two counsel is that the Committee can function smoothly. We request Justice Dhingra to proceed with the auction as expeditiously as possible, as the home buyers are waiting with concern to get their money refunded. The auction shall be subject to confirmation by this Court. The expenditure incurred by the Committee, including the fees, shall be met from the accrued interest….," the bench said.
The bench also took note of the fact that some home buyers wanted to take possession of their flats.
Referring to its earlier order, the bench said the home buyers can be handed over the possession of their homes on "as is where is basis".
The bench considered the submission of amicus curiae Agarwal that Rs 40 crore has been deposited with the apex court registry by one Pioneer Urban Land and Infrastructure Limited (PULIL), which has taken up certain projects in joint venture with Unitech.
However, the bench did not agree to the opposition of PULIL that it had only 40 per cent stakes in the joint venture projects with Unitech Ltd and hence the home buyers cannot be given the entire compensation from the money deposited by it.
"It may be stated here that the Amicus Curiae as per the order of this Court has created a portal in respect of the aforesaid categories.
"We do not intend to make any distinction amongst the said categories and, accordingly, it is directed that amount be disbursed to the home buyers whose names find place in the portal created by the amicus curiae concerning the five projects and there has been no cavil over the same by the Pioneer Urban Land & Infrastructure Limited.
"The list of the names shall be submitted by Pawanshree Agarwal to the Registry and the amount shall be disbursed on pro rata basis…," the bench said.
The home buyers of five projects in Gurgaon in Haryana — The Close (South), South City II Floors, Escape, Fresco, and Harmony — would be refunded from the Rs 40 crore deposited by PULIL, the court ordered and posted the matter for further hearing on July 5.
Earlier, the apex court had ask all directors of Unitech Ltd and its subsidiaries to furnish details of their personal assets and warned them that if Rs 100 crore was not deposited by May 11, their assets would be auctioned.
It had also said that the unencumbered properties of the real estate firm would be auctioned to realise the dues of the hassled home buyers.
It had asked the real estate firm, which has already given the list of unencumbered properties, to also provide details of their encumbered assets with specific information about the "extent of loans or encumbrances".
The apex court had on April 9 taken note of the list of all the unencumbered assets of Unitech Ltd and ordered that a public notice be issued inviting objections for auctioning them to realise the dues of the hassled home buyers.
Sanjay Chandra, the MD of the firm, is seeking interim bail from the apex court after the Delhi High Court on August 11 last year had rejected the plea in a criminal case lodged in 2015 by 158 home-buyers of Unitech projects' — 'Wild Flower Country' and 'Anthea Project' — situated in Gurgaon in Haryana.

Static RAM
This article needs to be wikified. (April 2009)
Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is a type of RAM that keeps data that's fed to it without having to be refreshed over and over again.
Both DRAM and SRAM store information in binary by using very small electronic components. Both are volatile (need electrical current flowing to keep the negative and positive charged components stay that way).
One difference is that SRAM are also used for specific applications within the PC, where their good points outweigh their bad points compared to DRAM.
Like other semiconductor chips, SRAM chips are made by Photolithography.
For SRAM, each bit is composed of between four and six transistors, the parts that hold information, which is why SRAM takes up much more space compared to DRAM. To compare with SRAM, DRAM has only one transistor plus a capacitor acting like a miniature rechargeable battery).
Good differences[change | change source]
- SRAM does not need to be refreshed.
- Changing Static RAM is faster than DRAM.
Bad differences[change | change source]
- SRAM is more expensive than DRAM.
- SRAMs take up more space and electricity.

Grapefruit interactions with lurasidone
Letter to the editor
Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc. has recently become aware of the article "Juice interactions: What patients need to know" by Maria G. Tanzi in the March 2013 Pharmacy Today OTC Supplement. The article has a few inaccuracies regarding our product Latuda (lurasidone).
Lurasidone is metabolized mainly via cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 and is contraindicated with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers. Sunovion has conducted drug interaction studies with ketoconazole (strong CYP3A4 inhibitor), diltiazem (moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor), and rifampin (strong CYP3A4 inducer) detailed in the full (PI; sections 7.1 and 12.3). However, studies with grapefruit have not been conducted. Furthermore, even though there may be a possible drug interaction with lurasidone and grapefruit because lurasidone is mainly metabolized via CYP3A4, the listed dose-related adverse events—torsades de pointes, orthostatic hypotension, and syncope—are unlikely to occur, and these were not dose-related adverse events reported in the clinical development program.
Tanzi stated that the information was obtained from an article published in CMAJ. The authors of the CMAJ article wrote that they used information from the Canadian product monographs of recently approved drugs to predict the risk of adverse events caused by enhanced systemic drug concentration resulting from impaired drug metabolism. They predicted a "very high" interaction risk for lurasidone administered with grapefruit juice and predicted dose-related adverse events of torsades de pointes, orthostatic hypotension, and syncope. The predicted dose-related adverse events are in no way supported by the information in the Canadian product monograph or U.S. PI for lurasidone. The clinical data described in these documents are clear that there was no evidence of any dose–response relationship for the effect of lurasidone on QT interval or the incidence of orthostatic hypotension or syncope.
The incidence of orthostatic hypotension and syncope events from the short-term, placebo-controlled studies in patients taking Latuda and placebo, respectively, was 0.3% (5/1,508) and 0.1% (1/708) for orthostatic hypotension and 0.1% (2/1,508) and 0% (0/708) for syncope. In short-term clinical trials, orthostatic hypotension occurred with a frequency of 0.2%, 0%, 1.0%, and 0.8% with Latuda 40 mg, 80 mg, 120 mg, and 160 mg, respectively, compared with 0.1% with placebo (PI section 5.8). Torsades de pointes was not reported in the clinical development program, and the Latuda PI does not contain a "Warning and Precaution" for QTc prolongation. The clinical development program also included a dedicated QTc study with a supratherapeutic dose of lurasidone of 600 mg which had negligible effect on QTc interval. In addition, in the short-term, placebo-controlled studies, no postbaseline QT prolongations exceeding 500 msec were reported in patients treated with Latuda (PI section 12.2).

If you have driven north or south on Belcher Road in Largo, you have passed by the Old Cape Cod Kitchen and probably did not even realize it. Old Cape Cod Kitchen is located at 1479 Belcher Road South. Keep your eyes open, as I was meeting a friend there and I passed it twice! Tucked away in the corner of a strip center, you will be pleasantly surprised at the homecooked food awaiting you.
The inside is very quaint. There is a counter where you can dine and make new friends, booths or tables for larger parties.
Janice worked at the Old Cape Code as a waitress for eight years when the owner decided it was time to retire. He asked her if she was interested in buying it and almost 1 year ago, she did just that. Her one year anniversary is on July 6. Janice is super friendly and caters to her customers needs. It was so interesting and fun to see her interacting with her customers. Dick, has been eating breakfast every day at Old Cape Cod Kitchen for the past 5 years. He would never eat biscuits and gravy because he didn't like them. Janice told him it was because he never tried hers. He has been eating biscuits and gravy every day for almost 3 years now! I was quite curious about them, so she brought me a sample!
Each day there are different specials. Every Friday the special is fish and chips. Pollock, coleslaw and fries. ($6.95) You can have it New England battered, grilled, blackened, lemon pepper or dry batter. Saturdays are quiche days. The quiche choices were spinach, tomato and feta; bacon, tomato and swiss; or sausage, onion, peppers and cheddar. The quiche is served with a side (my choice was fruit) for $4.95.
Other breakfast specials include 2 eggs with bacon, ham and a side of authentic Boston baked beans ($4.95).
Janice caters to customer requests. My friend only wanted a half order of Eggs Benedict and that was not a problem. She wants you to feel like you are at home and to be comfortable. The Eggs Benedict is also served with a side of tomatoes, grilled tomatoes, potatoes or fruit. I have been offered tomatoes before, but can't say I recall the offer of having them grilled. (half order $3.50)
The lunch special was an Italian sub ($4.95). I chose to have it hot with homemade potato salad ($1.00). Here is another interesting note - the potato salad and coleslaw are made to order. All sides for the sandwich specials are $1.00. Soups are also made from scratch.
Not only does she offer fresh home cooked breakfast and lunches, but also fresh baked muffins and muffin tops. The choices of those also change daily. The selections of muffins included French toaast, blueberry, bran, banana and pistachio. They also have a Cape Code muffin with blueberrys, cramberries, a secret ingredient and topped with Cape Cod chips. You will not find these muffins anywhere else! Muffins are $1.50 each or 6 for $6.00. If you just like the muffin tops, these can be had for one dollar each or 6 for $3. Again, every day is different, but choices included cinnamon applesauce, blueberry, banana and pistachio.
Cape Cod is open everyday from 7am-1pm and on Fridays from 7am-2pm. They can be reached at 727-535-1602.
Just a reminder to support local businesses! Of every dollar spent at a locally owned business, about 70 cents stays local. Of every dollar spent at a national corporation, less than 40 cents stays local.

|Statistics (2016)
La Aurora International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional La Aurora, IATA: GUA, ICAO: MGGT) serves Guatemala City, Guatemala. It is located 6.4 km (4.0 mi)[1] south of Guatemala City's center and 25 km (16 mi) from Antigua Guatemala. It is administered by the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil.
La Aurora International Airport is the primary airport of Guatemala. The airport went through a massive modernization and expansion. The airport is now able to accept a greater number of flights and larger aircraft. It provides high standard installations to the traveler. The old terminal has been renovated in accordance with its original design. It was partly demolished and was expanded with a new glass-designed concourse and is now able to accommodate up to twenty-two aircraft.[citation needed] The greater project was completed by December 2008. The airport currently has two terminals: Central and North.
La Aurora International Airport is the fourth busiest airport in Central America in terms of passenger traffic, surpassed by Tocumen International Airport in Panamá, Juan Santamaría International Airport in Costa Rica, and Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport in El Salvador. In June 2007 the airport was certified as Category I but lost it in August 2018.
La Aurora is being renovated, along with other airports in Guatemala, such as Mundo Maya International Airport, Quetzaltenango Airport, Puerto Barrios Airport, and San José Airport.
In July 2007, seven new gates were opened. These gates are equipped with jetway bridges and modern conveniences, also a new parking garage was also built and it can handle up to 500 vehicles.
There are brand new ticket counters. 2007 brought significant gate expansion (11 new gates were available starting December 2007). The airport now has two concourses. The northern concourse has 12 traditional gates and 3 remote gates. The central concourse, is used for larger aircraft as it provides 4–6 gates depending on the size of the aircraft.
The airport's runway currently measures 2,987 m × 60 m (9,800 ft × 197 ft).[1] There have been efforts in the past to expand the runway but this has not yet been possible since there's a commercial area to the north of the runway and a small ravine near the southern side of the runway. Still, the renovation of the runway is in progress. The first phase consists in repaving the runway as well modernizing the illumination system. Future plans to expand the taxiway repave and move all the cargo facilities to San José Airport in Escuintla and Puerto Barrios Airport in Izabal. This will make room for more passenger terminal area and improved taxiways. Finally, the airport administration building is being refurbished and a regional terminal is being built.
La Aurora International Airport has 2 Exclusive VIP Lounges. Los Añejos Business Lounge serving Iberia's first class passengers[2] and Copa Club, a VIP Lounge for passengers travelling on Copa Airlines and United Airlines[3]
Cargo operations are handled beside the passenger terminal building by COMBEX-IM or in the DHL hangars. [4]
The head office of the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil is located in the airport Zone 13.[5][6]
History of La Aurora[edit]
World War II[edit]
During World War II, the airport was used by the United States Army Air Forces Sixth Air Force defending the Central American coastline against Axis powers submarines. The first American personnel began arriving in December 1941; the airfield was improved and expanded by the United States' 805th Engineer Aviation Battalion in early 1942. During its period of American use, the military facilities of the airport were known as Guatemala City Air Base. Flying units assigned to the airport were:
- 51st Fighter Squadron (Detachment) (32d Fighter Group), 2 January 1942 – 9 March 1943, (P-40 Warhawk)
- 74th Bombardment Squadron (40th, 6th Bombardment Groups), 9 January 1942 – 7 April 1944 (B-18 Bolo, B-17 Flying Fortress)
- 44th Bombardment Squadron (40th Bombardment Group) 6 July 1942 – 4 June 1943, (B-18 Bolo)
Detachments from the airfield operated intermittently from San Jose Airport, San José, Costa Rica, and Puerto San José, Guatemala from 1942 though 1944. After the war ended, a small number of Americans remained at the airport performing training duties with the Guatemalan Air Force and also operating a weather station (MATS 6th Weather Squadron). United States personnel were restricted to base during the Guatemalan revolution following the death of Colonel Francisco Xavier Arana on 18 July 1949. Some artillery shells landed on the base during the violence. The facility was closed on 28 July 1949 and turned over to Guatemalan authorities.
Airlines and destinations[edit]
^1 Iberia flight from Guatemala City to Madrid makes a stop in San Salvador. The airline does not have traffic rights to transport passengers solely between Guatemala City and San Salvador.
In 2016, the airport handled 2,759,347 passengers.[7]
Accidents and incidents[edit]
- On 1 March 1980, a Douglas C-47 of the Fuerza Aérea Guatemalteca was damaged beyond repair near La Aurora.[8]
- On 6 April 1993, TACA Airlines Boeing 767 ran off the end of Runway 19 (now Runway 20) after landing. A passenger on board filmed the landing, which showed the plane coming in too steep, too fast and on a runway with standing water from a tropical storm which had just passed over. A great amount of runway had passed under the plane before touchdown and the pilot forced the landing. In spite of thrust reversers used, the plane could not slow down in time, began to shudder from excessive wheel-braking, overshot the runway and crashed into some structures. Surprisingly, there were no fatalities and the only injured people were 3 non-passengers. The aircraft was written off[9]
- On 4 June 2018, the airport had to close due to the 2018 Volcán de Fuego eruption.

The past few days have been an absolute whirlwind of inspiration, kick-ass ladies and no sleep. This weekend, I traveled to Memphis for a little over 24 hours to visit my girl Natalie Meagan.
Nine months ago, she came to me with an idea of starting The Crybaby Club for sensitive souls and here we are now with our own small business and community of thousands of awesome creatives from all around the world.
We were at The Cooper Young Festival in Memphis this past weekend, a huge festival that features a ton of artists and local businesses. We had our own booth this year for The Crybaby Club, and the experience was incredible.
My Milwaukee self wasn't exactly prepared for the muggy hotness that is Memphis, but we had LaCroix and wine in hand to help us through the 12 hour day. Although exhausting, it's a day I just want to repeat and recreate for the rest of my life. We met so many people who follow us on Instagram and people who were discovering us for the first time and whose positive vibes just oozed out of their souls.
This whole experience only reaffirmed my truth that if we were all kind to each other in small ways, the world can be a better place as a whole. So many people thanked us for the smiles, hugs and reassurance that they matter. Some people even cried because we were there exactly when they needed us. We didn't do much. We were simply there. And that's all that you need to be.
Be there. Be kind.
With those two things: we can make this world brighter.

Welcome to a new year.
I was sitting doing a mock GCSE, and was bored. So I wrote. I wrote about the empty blanket of snow outside that was waiting for us to mark it, for us to define what it would be. To make pictures with it, or ruin it.
Two Thousand and Eighteen. Welcome to a new year. I kinda feel that way about this year. That we, I, have a new year ahead of us, and it's blank, empty, awaiting for our words to fill the pages of it. Mixing metaphors. It sounds weird, I know, and yet I do it all the time. I do that, too – jump from one thing to another. It's the start of a new year. I don't know what this year will bring. The past year has just been, hard. Hard is the only word that defines it. I can't really see any point to having lived through it. The coming year is full of possibility. I don't know what the coming year will or could be. I'm scared to dream, for my dreams until now have never actualized. I hope that in the coming year I'll begin studying (yet again). I hope to learn to be more present in the world than I am. To learn how to deal with life instead of escaping it. And to find meaning, purpose, in living, being. Tall order? I think so. I doubt I'm going to look back at this, for no, I don't see it as possible. But it's good to dream. So long as I do my part in making it happen.
What do you want from this year? What do you think this year can mean to you?

The tectonic style and viability of modern plate tectonics in the early Earth is still debated. Field observations and theoretical arguments both in favor and against the uniformitarian view of plate tectonics back until the Archean continue to accumulate. Here, we present the first numerical modeling results that address for a hotter Earth the viability of subduction, one of the main requirements for plate tectonics. A hotter mantle has mainly two effects: 1) viscosity is lower, and 2) more melt is produced, which in a plate tectonic setting will lead to a thicker oceanic crust and harzburgite layer. Although compositional buoyancy resulting from these thick crust and harzburgite might be a serious limitation for subduction initiation, our modeling results show that eclogitization significantly relaxes this limitation for a developed, ongoing subduction process. Furthermore, the lower viscosity leads to more frequent slab breakoff, and sometimes to crustal separation from the mantle lithosphere. Unlike earlier propositions, not compositional buoyancy considerations, but this lithospheric weakness could be the principle limitation to the viability of plate tectonics in a hotter Earth. These results suggest a new explanation for the absence of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism (UHPM) and blueschists in most of the Precambrian: early slabs were not too buoyant, but too weak to provide a mechanism for UHPM and exhumation.

But there is no equation sitting there in Darwin's 'Origin of Species' that you apply and say, 'What is this species going to look like in 100 years or 1,000 years?' Biology isn't there yet with that kind of predictive precision.

The third annual PMM Live! provided a platform last week for academics to call for better use of expertise in policy-making, while they discussed the 'anti-expert' rhetoric that has seeped into parts of UK government.
Hosted by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) and its journal, Public Money and Management (PMM), PMM Live! 2016 included talks from Guardian Networks Editor David Walker, Emerita Professor of Accounting at Royal Holloway University Jane Broadbent, and Professor of Government at University of Manchester Colin R Talbot, and was chaired by Lord Bichard.
Colin Talbot, whose career has crossed the divide between local government and academia, discussed the different types of social science data that is being collected and said: "We need much wider discussion about how we generate knowledge for policy makers".

Melbourne 2030:
Planning Rhetoric Versus Urban Reality
By Bob Birrell, Kevin O'Connor, Virginia Rapson and Ernest Healy
The 'Melbourne 2030' plan is the Victorian Government's blueprint for the accommodation of an additional one million people in Melbourne by the year 2030. The plan seeks to change the shape of Melbourne radically. The vision is of a compact city in which growth will be concentrated in existing commercial centres (activity centres). Notwithstanding this fundamental departure from the low density pattern of the past, it is claimed that Melbourne's famed 'liveability' will be preserved.
This book explores:
- the intellectual origins of the plan;
- demographic assumptions behind the plan;
- the mode of implementation;
- the likely impact on the built environment;
- environmental and social consequences;
- heritage outcomes; and
- alternative planning options.
It also critically examines assumptions about the projected demand for higher density housing, and argues that the plan's 'compact city' vision is unlikely to be achieved because it fails to come to grips with the economic and demographic realities facing Melbourne.

Bill Virgin: Maybe we should lower our expectations for economic recovery
For the first three years after reaching the bottom of the Great Recession's pit, which for our purposes we'll date as late 2008-early 2009, we scanned the economic horizon in the expectation – or maybe it was just wishful thinking – of a recovery, only to report back in disappointment when one failed to materialize.
Once we realized that we were in fact in the midst of a recovery, as tepid and lethargic as it was, we shifted to scanning the economic horizon in the expectation, or maybe it's the fear, that the next recession is commencing.
As we take our traditional six-month scan of our economic condition, there's no shortage of indicators to suggest that pessimism is justified. The stock market's upward run is well past the average shelf-expiration date for such expansions, and the source of such bullishness has long seemed suspect anyway, given the underlying economy's sluggish performance.
Energy prices are rising. So are food prices. So are taxes, to judge by the number of governmental entities that have enacted or proposed such hikes. Incomes, however, are not going up at a rate to accommodate the increased demands on paychecks. Some industries, such as retailing, still labor under the twin burdens of the recession and massive permanent restructuring and consolidation courtesy of the Internet.
Interest rates may be going up (although those who rely on earnings from such savings and investments may be grumbling, "about time"), making credit more expensive and threatening to dampen growth.
Not that there's been a lot of growth to dampen. The latest national numbers say the economy contracted in the first quarter. That's blamed largely on bad weather, but that excuse works only so long, and if the second-quarter numbers are a disappointment then the economists will have to come up with some other explanation – not that they won't have plenty of material to work with (see above).
Here in Washington the news is slightly better, emphasis on "slightly." A recent presentation by the state's Economic and Revenue Forecast Council notes that the state's economy "continues to grow, but at a pace lower than the historical average." Risks include "the potential for slower Chinese economic growth, the anemic recovery in the European Union, and possible disruptions to the housing recovery."
It hasn't been all low-growth; in a few sectors the signs of bubbles have appeared, such as in Seattle commercial development, including apartment towers. We all have recent and vivid memories of what happens when bubbles pop. Seattle commercial real estate will continue to do well as long as Jeff Bezos' seemingly unquenchable thirst for more space for more employees downtown continues. When it doesn't ...
But then again, we've been going on for nearly three years now moping about the weakness and fragility of the recovery and predicting its demise, and it keeps crawling, meandering, inching along.
Maybe that's as good as we're going to get. Maybe we've been spoiled by the robustness of good times past and guiled into expecting that was the norm. Maybe we should be accepting of, if not exactly thrilled with, what we've got – considering the alternative we've been expecting.
That forecast council presentation offers this bit of reassurance: "Moderate growth in both Washington and the U.S. is expected through the next biennium. We expect the Washington economy to be slightly stronger than the U.S. economy." Lest anyone get too giddy over that prospect, the presentation adds that "the level of uncertainty in the forecast remains elevated, with considerable downside risks."
Truth be told, you don't have to look hard to find some encouraging signs. Consider manufacturing, a subject area in which your columnist dabbles professionally. Even though aerospace is no longer adding jobs in the state as it was during the recession, it's down by 2,700 jobs from a year ago, manufacturing as a whole is up by 2,500 jobs from May 2013 to May 2014, according to the preliminary non-seasonally-adjusted numbers from the Employment Security Department.
In keeping with the theme of not letting optimism run away with you, remember that manufacturing employment isn't back to its 2007 average.
The state and the region have scored some nice wins of late in large-scale in manufacturing, and could be in line for more. That means more manufacturing jobs, more construction jobs, more money into the economy for raw materials, equipment and supplies.
And just maybe a few more years between now and when our worries about another recession become reality.

Via The New York Times, written by Nate Chinen:
Paola Prestini, the creative and executive director of National Sawdust, stood in the space's balcony one recent afternoon, looking over what would soon be a bustling concert hall. "The speakers just came in," she said cheerfully, pointing at a rig hanging from the ceiling, still in its filmy protective covering. A geometric metal framework crisscrossed the room's far wall, next to the hydraulic platforms that will make for a flexible stage.
National Sawdust, a nonprofit performance space, recording facility and creative hub in the shell of a century-old sawdust factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, opens on Oct. 1. It will be a significant addition to the musical landscape in New York — at least for a broadly defined constellation of artists working in the zone where compositional form, improvisational technique and global or technological savvy find ways to converge.
Founded by Kevin Dolan, a tax lawyer and amateur composer who contributed roughly $9 million to the project, National Sawdust has been in the works for years. (Its previous name was the Original Music Workshop.) Its centerpiece is an acoustically sealed theater, designed by the Brooklyn studio Bureau V with Arup, an engineering firm. A restaurant and lounge will be run by Patrick Connolly, a James Beard Award-winning chef.
The primary mission of National Sawdust is the incubation of new works through commissions, artist residencies and in-kind services like rehearsal space. Its first month of programming will include festivals devoted to the composers Terry Riley (Oct. 3-5) and John Zorn (Oct. 9-10 and 30-31); a screening of the silent film "Nanook of the North," with a live score by the Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq (Oct. 2); the flex dancer Reggie Gray, known as Regg Roc, with the performance artist Helga Davis (Oct. 13); the mezzo-soprano Alicia Hall Moran (Oct. 19); and the vocal shape-shifter Theo Bleckmann, with the John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble (Oct. 22).
"It's essentially artists who have very, very strong identities," said Ms. Prestini, a celebrated composer herself. "They are more than just great performers; they're auteurs. They're bringing forward a very specific perspective on their field — and an international perspective, really treating New York as a bridge to different cultures."
National Sawdust has held performances throughout construction, and Ms. Prestini seemed unfazed by the apparent unfinished business on site. She was looking ahead to an opening-night program, "Discover the Space," whose early show would include performances by Ms. Tagaq, Mr. Bleckmann, the mandolinist Chris Thile and the composer Nico Muhly.
The late show will include the steel pan player Andy Akiho, the poet Roger Bonair-Agard, the explosive art-pop band Cibo Matto and a special unannounced guest.
"I feel really ready," Ms. Prestini said. "Even if there'll be some kinks to work out, we're ready."

Lifetime companion bikes are not a genre, instead, they are those bikes which are taken care of just like a baby. The machines do require time to time maintenance to perform well for a longer run. Moreover, as you looking for a perfect commuter bike, we would suggest you some of the names which have been in the market for good long years. The bikes such as Hero Splendor, TVS Starcity, Honda CB Shine, Honda CD 110 Dream DX and Bajaj CT 100etc. We do also suggest you to take a test ride of the bikes at the nearest dealerships so that you may choose the most compatible option in terms of usability, comfort, features, and performance of the bike.0 ReplyJoel | 4 months ago

Illustration of Definity use in Apical 4 Chamber imaging
February 29, 2012 — Lantheus Medical Imaging Inc. announced a strategic distribution arrangement for its Definity cardiac ultrasound contrast agent in the People's Republic of China, including Hong Kong S.A.R. and Macau S.A.R.
The board of directors for both Lantheus and Beijing Double-Crane Pharmaceutical Company Ltd., a leading pharmaceutical company based in Beijing, have approved a 15-year agreement for exclusive distribution and supply of Definity, an ultrasound contrast agent for use in echocardiograms. This agreement expands global access to Definity in a key geographic region. Definity is currently approved in North America, Europe, and a number of other countries. Lantheus and Double-Crane plan to fully execute the agreement in the next several weeks in China.
Under the terms of the agreement, both parties will collaborate on confirmatory clinical trials to commercialize Definity in China for use in cardiac disease. Double-Crane will conduct the clinical trials once the design has been agreed upon with Lantheus, and Lantheus will provide regulatory support and product for the trials. Lantheus and Double-Crane will work together to develop new indications.
The agreement also provides Double-Crane the right of first negotiation to manufacture Definity in China upon the achievement of certain sales levels. In addition, Double-Crane has the right to negotiate the manufacture of Definity in China in the event Lantheus chooses to seek a Chinese manufacturing partner for the product.
"The distribution and supply agreement with Double-Crane supports our commitment to global expansion to help improve the treatment of human disease in key international markets," said Don Kiepert, president and CEO, Lantheus Medical Imaging. "Definity is an important diagnostic tool that can provide critical patient information to help physicians make more informed patient management decisions. We are pleased to announce this agreement to enter the Chinese market and look forward to working closely with such an esteemed partner as Double-Crane to make Definity available to both physicians and patients in China."
Double-Crane is focused on the development of products in the area of cardiovascular disease. This partnership with Lantheus is part of Double-Crane's strategic development plan in support of China's "National 12th Five-Year Development Program." This partnership will support Double-Crane in achieving its objective to enhance its product pipeline with a globally branded drug, such as Definity.
"We are very pleased to be the exclusive distributor of Definity in China," said Li Xin, president of Double-Crane. "Distribution of Definity into China will significantly help Chinese physicians to diagnose diseases and provides a new tool for the management of patient care. We believe Definity will also bring a great economic outcome in health care management in China. In addition, Definity will play an important role in the portfolio of cardiovascular products of Double-Crane. The exclusive distribution and supply of Definity will enhance our competitive advantage in the area of cardiovascular diseases."

Sharing perspectives leads to greater understanding and fuels innovation. The Optum Insights blog is where we share our perspective and challenge preconceptions to clear a new path forward
The debate over a drug formulary for the Louisiana workers' compensation system rages on in the halls of the capitol in Baton Rouge. In one of the latest turns, the Workforce Commission and the Office of Workers' Compensation Administration made a joint public proclamation1 opposing drug formularies as "unproven" and "unnecessary", suggesting instead that other proposed controls will reduce the prescribing of opioids. The proposed controls would cover all sectors of the healthcare system and are not specific to workers' compensation. The controls include a recommended seven-day limit for initial opioid prescriptions and the mandatory review of the patient's Schedule II medication history in the state's prescription drug monitoring program. While we agree these controls will have an impact, we think it is important to engage every reasonable tool at our disposal to combat the current opioid epidemic.
The Brandeis University Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Training and Technical Assistance Center has been tracking the impact of mandatory inquiries of prescription drug databases and released an updated briefing in May 20162. In that report, Kentucky registered an 8.5% reduction in controlled substance prescriptions, Tennessee noted an 8% reduction in opioid prescriptions, New York saw a 9.5% drop in the prescriptions for opioids, and Ohio saw an 8.7% reduction in oxycodone and an 11.1% reduction in hydrocodone. Those are positive gains and demonstrate the value of requiring prescribers to consult the database before prescribing an opioid.
Legislating a recommended time limit for an initial opioid prescription is a relatively recent concept and it is too early to have any substantive data on the impact of such laws. While most of the laws appear to be soft recommendations, none of the laws provide a workers' compensation claims administrator a real opportunity to challenge the use of an opioid. Certainly, the laws have tremendous value in calling attention to the opioid crisis and by encouraging physicians to examine their prescribing practices and to look for non-opioid alternatives to treating pain.
It is also important to examine the impact of the Texas formulary, another tool in the theater of battle against opioids. The statement released by the Louisiana Workforce Commission and the Office of Workers' Compensation Administration stated, "The insurer is better off financially, but no one knows if the injured worker is enjoying a true level of better health and it seems no one cares." This is an unfortunate statement demeaning good employers and those providing care in the Texas system and mischaracterizes why Texas adopted a drug formulary. We work closely with the policymakers in Texas and can unequivocally say that Commissioner Brannan and his staff are extremely vigilant in their dedication to ensuring quality care for injured workers in Texas. We provide services to a number of insurance carriers and claims administrators and all of them work hard to provide quality care to injured workers. Texas recognized early the devastating impact that opioid dependence and addiction was having on its injured workers and was one of the first states to address the opioid crisis with the implementation of their closed formulary in 2011. Fortunately, Texas had good data on prescription patterns prior to implementation of their drug formulary and have carefully collected data since the implementation of their formulary allowing for some comprehensive comparative studies. In their July 20163 update on the impact of the closed formulary, Texas has sustained a 77% reduction in the number of "N" drugs being prescribed to injured workers. The "N" drug list contains a number of long-acting opioids, along with other medications. Interestingly, prescriptions for other medications reduced by over 10%. Perhaps the most telling indication of the impact on the quality of care for Texas injured workers is the reduction in disability time. Reports out of Texas indicate that since the implementation of the closed drug formulary they have seen a measurable reduction in the disability time for injured workers, which means that injured workers are getting better faster and returning to work and supporting their families more quickly.
The use of a drug formulary and the deploying of other tools, like mandatory Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) reporting and recommending time limits for opioids prescriptions, are not mutually exclusive. A workers' compensation drug formulary is a valuable tool and is the only tool targeted specifically to dealing with the unique needs of an injured worker. HB592, sponsored by Rep. Talbot, will be debated on the Louisiana House floor this week. We urge the House members to support the legislation. A responsible, work comp-focused drug formulary, is a proven solution that demonstrates quality and compassionate care by helping the injured worker avoid the adverse effects of long-term opioid use and accelerating their return to work.
