text: My AAA, by Mike Wilson Author and historian Mike Wilson wrote this poem about his abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), which was picked up through a screening programme. He says: "In June 2008, I was operated on at Hull Royal Infirmary by Professor McCollum. "I did not suffer in any way beforehand, nor after the operation. I was a little slow when walking round the block for a few weeks, though. "I've had four TIAs [transient ischaemic attacks, sometimes called mini-strokes] since but currently am OK." This abdominal aortic aneurysm has led to some serious pessimism for I'm left in some awe at drawing the short straw and am pondering the attractions of vandalism. But I'll face all the problems with professionalism and a certain amount of wise realism. and - you may think this odd - I cannot blame God for I'm delighted I've converted to atheism. I'll combat the horror with witticism while it upsets my life with its terrorism but the fact of the matter is everything's just chatter so I'll hang on to my life with great stoicism. I shall avoid descending into barbarism and may be face up to it with heroism for I wish I'd not got this life-threatening blot: This abdominal aortic aneurysm. 16th August 2007, on being told I have an AAA. Postscript That abdominal aortic aneurysm that led to some serious pessimism was removed with great skill so it's definite I will be enjoying my life with great optimism. 2nd June 2012, four years to the day of the operation to fix the Triple AAA. The poems published in this section are creative writing by Heart Matters readers. They should not be taken the views of the BHF or as medical advice. It isn't always easy to express your emotions, but writing poetry can be a way of putting your feelings down on paper which many people find helpful. If you'd like your poem about any aspect of heart disease or caring for someone to appear in this section, email it to [email protected]

DescriptionJohn Mauchly, reading for Presper Eckert, provides a history of the ENIAC computer in which he attempts to fill in some gaps not present in other histories. Among the subjects he discusses are: deficiencies in transmitting information vital to the operation of the ENIAC to some users; administrative and practical concerns related to doing "classified" work; time spent teaching at Ursinus College; arrival at the Moore School in 1941; the initial contract and extensions for the ENIAC; reasons why a decimal system was used in the ENIAC; information about the ENIAC stores; and patent issues. The talk begins with an introduction by project supervisor and conference session chair J. G. Brainerd, who discusses the atmosphere at the Moore School and conditions leading to the development of the ENIAC.
Reel covers 2:00 to 2:42 PM.
Roughly corresponds to "The ENIAC" in _A History of Computing in the Twentieth Century," ed. N. Metropolis, J. Howlett, and Gian-Carlo Rosa.

A three-page study called And Bringing Up the Rear: Pippa Middleton, Her Derrière and Celebrity", written by a Birkbeck, University of London scholar, Janet McCabe, marks Britain's instant new status as top dog and intellectual driver of an entire academic field. It is, in that respect, as mentally electrifying as was a one-page study called A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid, published in 1953 by a pair of then-obscure University of Cambridge scholars named James Watson and Francis Crick.
The Watson-Crick paper revealed the basic chemical machinery by which all living creatures pass their physical characteristics on to subsequent generations. People speak still, these more-than-60 years later, of how that paper revolutionised biology.
The McCabe treatise elucidates the way in which an entire nation's business and cultural machinery managed to focus itself on a royally connected woman's arse. People speak of it still. And now they speak, thanks to a slightly shifted focus provided by that same business and cultural machinery, of Pippa Middleton's sister's arse.
The Pippa paper was published in the journal Celebrity Studies. The journal, founded in the year 2010, published by Routledge, has come to epitomise, if not utterly dominate, the entire academic field with which it shares a name. The journal's self-stated aim is modest: "Celebrity Studies aims to address key issues in the production, circulation and consumption of fame, and its manifestations in both contemporary and historical contexts, while functioning as a key site for academic debate about the enterprise of celebrity studies itself."
McCabe's Pippa Middleton analysis appeared in the November 2011 issue. McCabe writes: "The celebrity of the Middleton curves has something important to tell us about celebrating the feminine ideal, which is compelling enough to psychically entangle us and from which we are not entirely able to free ourselves.
"Intoxicatingly presented, persuasively offered as about modern feminine accomplishment, her image is embedded in and through prevailing norms of the feminine self: not only her body (slender, fashionable, attractive), but also her lifestyle choices (health and fitness, leisure and work, social ambition and fashionable restaurants, consumerism and eligibility for marriage)."
McCabe explores additional aspects of Pippa Middleton's eligibility for and prospective method of reproduction. McCabe notes that "Few media observers failed to mention how she had caught the libidinous eye of Prince Harry".
This observation echoes the most celebrated passage of Watson and Crick's historic paper about the DNA molecule. Watson and Crick wrote: "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material."
Watson and Crick's very next sentence, too, could be inserted verbatim into McCabe's study of Pippa Middleton's derrière: "Full details of the structure, including the conditions assumed in building it, together with a set of co-ordinates for the atoms, will be published elsewhere."

The Louie Awards, officially known as the International Greeting Card Awards Competition, is an award show held in New York City that recognizes outstanding greeting cards & invitations marketed in the United States. The show attracts hundreds of entries from domestic and foreign publishers.
Each year, a diffrent company takes on the theme, design components and party planning for the award show. American Greetings Corporation was picked for the 27th Annual Louie Award gala with a proposed theme of black, white & gold.
The theme turned into the "Roaring Louies"- a show designed to pay homage to the roaring 20's and art deco. Supporting pieces use highly - perceivable finishings, like gold foil and glitter, to add sparkle and shine.
Personally concepted and designed pieces for the show: invitation concept, 2014 Greeting Card Association presentation, signage, table numbers, coasters, glasses and party favors.
Check out more information on the 27th Annual Louie Awards!

Bianchini Construction Company is local, family owned business out of Medina, Ohio. With over 40 years of experience, Bianchini Construction specializes in concrete installation, replacement and repair.
The brand was completely refreshed - new logo, color scheme, print collateral and work apparel. Concrete is a artisty passed down the Bianchini family line, so the logo reflects the "Bianchini" family crest (a shield + stripes) and only supports the hard-working family business. A grungy texture was added to the brand pieces to reflect the surface of concret. The color palette: black , white & gray provides high contrast, especially when printed on 'construction green' apparel.
A clean and modern design approach on the 2011 Starbucks annual report. Designed with the original brand color in mind, the annual report uses a green & mint palette paired with classic black and white photos.

So I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself for making this. I've never been a great cook, but after surviving most of the past year on my college cafeteria's far too frequent "stir fry days", I felt confident enough to make my own, hopefully better, variation. I added chicken and egg to this recipe, but it could be easily modified to be either/both vegetarian and/or vegan.
I'm gonna be honest, I didn't really measure any of the ingredients, so you'll have to bear with me…
First, coarsely chop:
- broccoli
- red pepper
- carrots
- green onion
While you are doing this, steam some edamame. You can either do this in the microwave or a boiling pan (microwave is obviously easier). Next, prepare the quinoa. I had already prepared quinoa a few days before, so all I had to do was reheat it.
Then, add everything to a pan with olive oil. Continue to stir the ingredients, and add dashes of soy sauce (preferably the low sodium version) as you go. I also added about a teaspoon of chopped garlic for flavor.
Turn the heat down low, and in a different pan scramble one egg. Once it's cooked, toss it in with the quinoa and veggies. After this, I added a few pieces of pulled chicken, heated it for a few more minutes, and chucked it into a bowl.
Feeds either one very hungry person or two normal people. 🙂

When you telephone the surgery, a care navigator will ask you for your details. Our care navigators will need to ask you the reason for your call and will then direct you to the most appropriate healthcare professional. Please do not worry, if you do need to see a doctor your name will be added to our 'call back' list and you will be contacted by a GP the same day. If they think you need to be seen face-to-face, they'll then make you an appointment for you to be seen. If you would like the surgery to call you back at a certain time, please let us know. Our workload changes throughout the day and can be unpredictable so a call back time cannot always be guaranteed however we will always try to accommodate this.
In a serious emergency call 999 or go straight the nearest A&E department. If you become ill after this time you should contact the surgery and speak to the receptionist explaining the nature of the emergency. You may then need to speak to a nurse who will triage the call and then offer you an emergency appointment with the doctor if appropriate. Emergency appointments are not for repeat prescriptions, on-going conditions or the issuing of sick notes.
If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.
Dr Qureshi
Dr Pai
Dr Blades
Dr Maggs
Dr Simmonds
Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:30. Any late requests will be assessed for urgency by a doctor who will offer treatment as appropriate.
You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls
You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
You do not require a doctor's sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or on the HMRC website.
If you are sick for more than seven days, your employer can ask you to give them some form of medical evidence to support payment of SSP (statutory sick pay).
It is up to your employer to decide whether you are incapable of work. A medical certificate, now called a 'Statement of Fitness for Work' (see below) from your doctor is strong evidence that you are sick and would normally be accepted, unless there is evidence to prove otherwise.
You could also provide evidence from someone who is not a medical practitioner, e.g. a dentist. Your employer will decide whether or not this evidence is acceptable. If your employer has any doubts, they may still ask for a medical certificate from your GP.
The 'fit note' was introduced on 6 April 2010. With your employer's support, the note will help you return to work sooner by providing more information about the effects of your illness or injury.
For more information see the DirectGov website (where this information was sourced).

The One You Should Select
Fun Fact of the Day: Earlier this week Holy Cross defeated Lehigh to make it to the Big Dance. It was a big surprise, because Holy Cross has a losing record this season (14-19). The last time a 19-loss team won a game in the Tournament was 1955, so probably don't pick them as one of your upsets…
Today's Rundown
Slow down, please. Yesterday, Duke lost to Notre Dame in overtime, in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals (84-79). Notre Dame may be Duke's kryptonite, because they have lost 5 of their last 6 meetings with the Fighting Irish. Why'd Duke lose? They were so tiiiiired. Even though they have amazing scorers in Brandon Ingram and Grayson Allen, Duke doesn't have many bench players they can rely on. That means their thin rotation of players doesn't get to rest. It didn't help that this was their 2nd game in 2 days or that most of their best players were in foul trouble throughout the game. Next up? Don't worry, Duke's record will still get them to the Big Dance. Meanwhile Notre Dame will face UNC in the semifinals today!
Spotlight on the Best March Madness Coaches
With March Madness beginning next week, everyone is looking for that edge to help their bracket win! Today's Goalposte tip is to take a look at the best Tournament coaches.
Who's at the top? Last year, the whiz kids over at FiveThirtyEight analyzed which coaches exceed expectations in the Tournament. Their favorite coach was Tom Izzo (Michigan State)! And lookie-here, they are one of the favorites to win it all this year, too! Who else is on the list? There were the usual suspects like John Calipari (Kentucky), Coach K (Duke), and Roy Williams (UNC).
But how can I show off and win big? Psst—these are the other coaches that are usually good bets that others might not expect: Steve Fisher (San Diego State), Sean Miller (Arizona), and Archie Miller (Dayton). Shhh!
Seen and Heard
Don't bite the hand that feeds you… Yesterday, Washington Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper called baseball a "tired sport." Ya, it's the sport he plays… At age 23, Harper's one of the bright young stars in baseball and was the National League MVP last year. As a millennial… He thinks that MLB could get more fans by focusing on young baseball stars with big personalities like basketball and football do. #awkward

GitPrime elevates engineering leadership with objective data. In this interview series, Engineering Leaders talk about how to build high performing teams.
Your database used to run fast as can be. Now, it's dragging its feet through molasses. No matter why your development is outpacing your technology choices, the immediate impulse is to upgrade your database.
But not so fast—your tech problems may not have tech solutions at all.
The older I get, the more every problem in tech seems to be a matter of getting humans to work together effectively, and not tech itself.
— Laurie Voss (@seldo) August 23, 2017
The key is recognizing when your problems are technological, and when they are a matter of human communication. Making that distinction is Deirdre Bachman Haggmark's specialty.
Haggmark, a Senior Manager of Database Operations with Tesla, knows how to fix both kinds of problems once symptoms start revealing themselves. When a database isn't responding well. When a company doesn't have metrics or monitoring. Essentially, the point when there's pain and no one else sees how to fix it from the technological side.
That's because Haggmark observes that many of the common problems slowing down engineering teams have human-centric solutions.
Every database is different. But human behavior is much more universal.
Haggmark points to three recurring problems she encounters. And in an environment where everything is connected, it's no surprise that those problems play off one another:
- Developers aren't talking to production. "We all follow the same patterns when we're building up," she says. At the start, there is no production for the developers to talk to. So once a product moves into production, there's not a culture of communication already in place. Which correlates with the next problem…
- There's not a strong reporting environment. "You have all this data," she says. "You think it might be valuable. But you don't have a good way to access it." For all the good this inaccessible data does you, it might as well not exist. And this unused data leads to the third problem…
- Performance runs well below peak efficiency. Without a lot of data-driven insight, your performance problems become mysteries. "What you get is so-and-so saying there's nothing going on. Or so-and-so says they don't know what's going on," she says. "If you don't know what's going on, you cannot fix it."
While these problems have technical roots, they are truly cultural issues. Left unchecked, they can flower into a full-out denial culture. And that is toxic to all kinds of productivity.
Fortunately, your leadership culture interacts with your productivity. So if you can set the right tone, there's pretty blunt solutions to these problems.
Accountability and transparency
Essentially, you foster transparency by acknowledging that there's a problem, and accountability by taking responsibility for fixing it.
The admittedly more human approach—assigning fault and avoiding responsibility—is often more destructive. "It's not productive," Haggmark says. "And it certainly doesn't put anybody in the mood for cooperation. But when I say, 'Hey, my stack is having a serious issue, here's how I think we can fix it,' that helps us prevent these kinds of issues moving forward."
"I find that when I own my problems, other people are a lot more comfortable owning theirs," she says.
Bear in mind that the intent is to address present problems and improve future processes. If you can improve a system because of previous mistakes, great. But pointing fingers to the past doesn't nurture ownership. Emulate the accountability you want your developers to embody.
"I find that when I own my problems, other people are a lot more comfortable owning theirs," she says.
Taking ownership
This culture of accountability and transparency leads to more and better communication. There's less desire for developers to protect information or shield themselves from blame. But the increased communication can also have the undesirable effect of reducing responsibility. In a sense, if everyone is answerable for everything, then there's no boundaries around responsibility.
"The diffusion of responsibility is a big deal," Haggmark says. And the solution here, which she touched on earlier, is ownership.
"Bring them chocolate, bring them bourbon, bring them whatever. Facilitate a conversation that is helpful."
Even if a problem didn't originate with you or your team, if it impacts your work, it is your problem. In a sense, taking ownership of the problem gives you the authority to fix it.
"You should stay on top of everything in your area of influence," she says.
That doesn't necessarily mean that you accept responsibility for fixing everything yourself. No one expects a database administrator to take on design work. But you *are* owning the responsibility of facilitating the necessary fixes.
"There's a lot of people that react, 'Damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a project manager.' That's not helpful," she says. Instead, do what you know, and take charge of enlisting the people who can assist you.
"If someone else can help you, go walk over to that person's desk," she says. "What do they need? Bring them chocolate, bring them bourbon, bring them whatever. Facilitate a conversation that is helpful."
Special ops teams
Haggmark typically works with small teams. She admits it's a different sort of challenge when you're with a huge company where punting to someone else is the norm. Her solution here is to carve a large engineering staff into smaller, micro special forces teams.
"I work with a development team of fifty people," she says. "But I don't work with fifty people. I work with ten teams of five people. And I know who leads each pod. I know the points of contact. That's very important."
"Communicate, and you will save time and money and resources by fixing your problems."
She points to Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, two former Navy SEALs, who stress the importance of limiting team size. "It's a great read," she says. "They write about ownership, accountability, and applying what they learned in training and on the battlefield to leading a team in business."
Willink and Babin state that you can be directly responsible for only six to ten people. Haggmark mentions additional studies including ones from ERC and Harvard Business Review that discuss optimal spans of control, putting the number anywhere from five to twenty team members. In her own experience, she finds her most effective team size is from five to seven people.
Your ideal team size may depend on your organization's needs and demands. But if you can ensure each team leader is directly responsible for only a small number of team members, the team is likely to work more cohesively. And then the manager above those teams is managing only as many team leads as there are teams.
The idea is not only to foster accountability and transparency, but to build your structure in such a way as to facilitate their success. We're all in business, so transparency and accountability are not the end game. But they certainly enable a more effective and nimble flow of productivity and development.
Or, in Haggmark's succinct terms: "Communicate, and you will save time and money and resources by fixing your problems."

How do you make the most of being strange? My guest Patrick Bristow found a perfect solution: stop trying to fit in and lean into your strangeness.
You've almost definitely seen Patrick countless times on TV and in movies: whenever a script calls for a strangely energetic gay or gay-ish man, there's simply no one else to call. He's been the wigmaster on Seinfeld, Larry David's dance teacher on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and the relentlessly bubbly Peter on Ellen. But you may know him best as the terrifying choreographer who swoops down on Elizabeth Berkeley in Showgirls, hollering THRUST IT into her heaving crotch.
I've watched that scene easily a dozen times. But now let's take a look at it from another angle: that of the actor crouching on the floor, bewildered by a director's command to make the lines make sense.
Here's Patrick's introduction on Ellen:
And Showgirls, of course:

McLaren's Kevin Magnussen led the timesheets on Day 2 of the Bahrain test as F1 testing reached its halfway point. The Danish driver clocked the Bahrain International Circuit on a set of super-soft tyres in 1m34.910s to beat Hulkenberg's benchmark by 1.5 seconds. While times tumbled all day long, Magnussen's fastest lap was still 2.6 seconds slower than Nico Rosberg's pole time during the 2013 season.
Fernando Alonso had another strong outing in his Ferrari after completing 97 laps and posting a lap time that was good enough for third on the leaderboard.
Meanwhile, Nico Rosberg proved that Mercedes isn't bullet proof after stopping twice during the day due to a sensor failure. After spending over 2 hours in the garage, the German returned to the track to record the fourth fastest time of the day, a 1m36.965s.
"We achieved another good amount of laps today which proves that the first part of testing in terms of reliability is going well," Rosberg said. " We had a few small issues but it's important to find out what they are to see what is not yet running perfectly. We need to push the car to the limits to see how it works in every condition. We don't yet know where we are in terms of performance, but today was a great day for me personally because I felt at home in the new car for the first time. All the settings were as we would like and the buttons on the steering wheel are now easier to get used to."
Valtteri Bottas made it four Mercedes-powered cars in the top five as the Finn tried to cover up for yesterday's lack of running. Driving the Williams FW36 in its interim livery, Bottas completed 115 laps - more than any driver today - to finish the day as fifth fastest.
Caterham were again the fastest of the Renault-powered lot with F1 returnee Kamui Kobayashi locking the 5.4km circuit in 1:39.855s to record the sixth fastest time of the day.
Meanwhile, Red Bull Racing finally had something to cheer about as Sebastian Vettel completed more laps today than the team did on all the first five days of testing combined.
"Definitely a better day today," the four-time world champion said "We did more laps, so that's encouraging. It's good to check the car, check the reliability, but obviously there is a lot still to do. It was good to get a proper first feel for the car and it feels OK but there's a lot more to come. It's difficult to talk about catching up [to rivals] because I don't know what other people are doing, but we did more laps than we have done so far and that's the big thing. We're learning every single lap, even if the quality of the lap is sometimes not the best. However, the most important thing is to run and we did that. The last two days have been very useful. I hope Daniel can get some more good laps in tomorrow."
Their sister team, Toro Rosso had a decent day too, after the first day of their Bahrain running was halted by an oil leak. Jean Eric Vergne logged 58 laps to finish just ahead of Esteban Gutierrez's Sauber - both in terms of lap time and mileage. However, both drivers stopped on track due to varied reasons.
Meanwhile, Romain Grosjean was left frustrated after he could complete just 18 laps today to add to the eight laps from his first outing in the E22. With Maldonado taking over the car for the next two days, Grosjean will only get to drive Lotus's 2014 challenger in the final pre-season test which takes place at the same circuit next week.
"We achieved some more laps today but there's still work to be done," said Grosjean. "It's been a frustrating couple of days as I want to get as many laps under my belt as possible, but at least we're learning some things about the car. I'm looking forward to returning for next week's test and seeing what progress has been made."
Finally, Max Chilton completed the timesheets after fuel system problems limited him to just 17 laps around the Middle East country.

I have an experiment with the specimen 100m long and 3m wide. I would like to capture the the image of entire specimen (from top) for fixed time intervals to analyze the behavior with time using some image analysis techniques.
As I need very good precision and length is 100m, Is there any established method to capture the image of such a long specimens.
- I am thinking of having multiple cameras hanging on the top to capture the image.Can we control all the cameras to take picture at the same time and later combine them into one.
- Is there any camera device which moves and captures the entire photo by itself allowing some time lag. (some kind of panorama picture with automotion).
- Approximately how many cameras require for such a job.

Marketing constantly needs to evolve and adapt to the environment it is being used in. Banner advertisements used to be a highly effective and practically free option for promoting a product, service, or brand. However, as this marketing strategy continued getting more saturated, prices of banners rose and consumers started developing "Ad blindness", where banner ads are subconsciously ignored.
In light of this, large brands are on the lookout for alternatives to convert consumers in the digital age. As brands like Nike and Calvin Klein have shown, the solution may be in the form of influencer marketing.
Influencer marketing is a hybrid of old and new marketing approaches, taking the idea of the celebrity endorsement and placing it into a modern-day content-driven marketing campaign. The results are driven by a coordinated collaboration between a brand and influencers.

Ride for the Living 2017Date: June 29, 2017Time: 9:00 am - 11:00 am Contact: Fred JohnsonPhone: 562.426.7601 x1056Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Ride For The Living is a unique event where participants cycle 55 miles (90 km) from the iconic Auschwitz-Birkenau gate to the Jewish Community Centre of Krakow (JCC Krakow) and participate in four days of educational and community programs.
Ride For The Living honors the Holocaust while celebrating the renewal of contemporary Jewish life in Poland today. JCC Krakow members, staff, volunteers, and friends from around the world will come together to raise awareness and funds for Krakow's Jewish community.
Ride For The Living is an annual event under the patronage of Chief Rabbi of Poland Michael Schudrich, who in 2017 will lead the event himself. "When Jews around the world consider Poland, they have an obligation to not only remember the past, but also to recognize the work being done to bring as many Jews here in Poland back to the Jewish people.
The Ride For The Living is so important because Jewish life in Poland is flourishing - a miracle considering anti-Semitism in Europe today. Jewish communities around Poland are growing, and while we acknowledge our loss as a people here, we must focus on the future," explains Rabbi Schudrich.
JCC Krakow will partner with the JCC Association to offer a satellite Ride For The Living program at participating JCCs on Thursday, June 29, concurrent with the Ride in Poland. The Alpert JCC will hold dedicated Ride For The Living spin classes from 9-11am to support Ride participants in Poland while learning about the renewal of Jewish life happening in Krakow and across Poland.
If you're interested in donating to Friends of Krakow, please visit our fundraising site/page

HICAP comprises of seven major components:
The components are interrelated in that climate change impacts on water resources can have far-reaching implications for both ecosystems services and food security, which in turn can lead to increased vulnerability of mountain communities, including women, to drivers of climate change, thereby making actions on the adaptation front both urgent and necessary. The main challenge of HICAP is to integrate not only 'gender' across all components but also the findings of the different components at appropriate scales, and communicate them to the wider public, including policy- and decision makers at all relevant levels as well as the mountain communities of the Hindu Kush Himalayan region.
|1. Climate change scenarios
|Downscaled and customized climate scenarios at the basin and sub-basin level
|2. Water availability and demand scenarios
|Water availability and demand scenarios at the sub-basin level
|3. Ecosystem services
|Analysis of risks and opportunities for natural and managed ecosystems and the implications for sustained ecosystem services at the sub-basin level
|4.Food security
|Food security assessment at household and community levels, future scenarios at regional and selected sub-basin levels, and analysis of their relation to downstream food security
|5. Vulnerability and adaptation
|Analysis of autonomous adaptation patterns and strategies at the community level and their linkages with planned adaptation in the current policy environment; use of this evidence to establish conducive policy frameworks
|6.Gender and adaptation
|Analysis of differences in impacts and adaptive capacities between women and men; identification of strategies for ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities for marginalized, minority, and indigenous people, especially women
|7.Communications and outreach
|Awareness raising, capacity building, and innovative dissemination of findings and recommendations contributing to informed decision making at local, regional, and international levels

I have found an excellent Life Expectancy Calculator which asks you some decent questions and shows you an approximate number of years that you will live.
Don;t get me wrong that I am depressed or anything because I am writing this post. It's always fascinating to use these kind of online tools.
So here I am presenting you a wonderful Life Expectancy Calculator which is completely free to use and asks you decent question to guess your virtual age and also how long you will live.
Beware that this tool is no where close to accurate because if there was a tool which can guess the number of years you are going to survive then life would be really awesome and also sadistic actually.
If you like Online Calculators be sure to check out the post about Calculator.com!
You can try it too here: http://www.peterrussell.com/Odds/VirtualAge.php
I just took this test and this is what the results are like:
Biological Age: 24
Virtual Age: 27.8
Average Life Expectancy: 74
Your Life Expectancy: 70.2
You can expect to live approximately another 16900 more days. (Life, here I come..)
It's a rough estimate and to be frank I was quite impressed with the kind of questions that were asked and also I did not find it hasty or useless. So by all means you can try this Life Expectancy Calculator just for the fun of it and get an estimation of your Life Expectancy.
Just don't take it seriously and get sad because it showed you some undesirable results because you are the sole owner of your life. It's not the number of years that you live that matters, it's the number of times you felt happy so far in your life because it was worth living it.
I am sure you were amazed by this post about Life Expectancy Calculator and it will be a great deed if you can share it with your friends and family members as well!

DES MOINES, Iowa — On Thursday night, one passionate caucus-goer in Iowa leveled a devastating criticism against a candidate whom she characterized as a flip-flopping opportunist.
"Rhubarb doesn't know whether it's supposed to be sweet or sour!" she shouted over the din of more than 30 supporters of Barack Obama who packed into a tiny office in Knoxville, Iowa. "Vote for cherry pie!"
With the intricate proceedings of the Iowa caucuses only a month away, Democratic campaigns are looking for easy (and tasty) ways to educate their Iowa supporters on exactly what to expect on Jan. 3. Mock caucuses held at community centers and field offices across the state allow participants to mimic January's process without the politics.
For Team Obama, that means pie.
Thursday night's "candidates" -- in addition to the much-maligned rhubarb -- included cherry, blueberry, apple, pumpkin and pineapple-cherry pies lovingly baked by residents of Marion County, many of whom have never caucused before. As they arrived at the small office in Knoxville, Obama field organizer Maia Henry diligently posted signs for each pie in a corner of the crowded room, describing to each new arrival how to show support for their favorite baked good by gathering in areas around the office.
"If you're not viable," explained another staffer clad in the campaign's signature red "Fired Up!" t-shirt, "you might have to go to a different pie."
"We don't want to have to do that," he added gravely.
The practice round
Why do campaigns in Iowa have to make the caucus process more, well, appetizing? The notoriously complex rules of the Democratic nominating process in the state require some lighthearted practice to train the community leaders on whom campaigns rely to coalesce support in more than 1,700 precincts in the state. And the mere mathematics of the process require that winning campaigns be able to quickly calculate delegate percentages on the spot.
Here's how it works: The state of Iowa is divided into 1,781 precincts, and each will have separate caucus meetings for Republicans and Democrats on Jan. 3 at 6:30 p.m. CST. The meetings -- held in venues such as churches, high schools, community centers and even individuals' homes -- are technically intended to be the formal elections of delegates to county conventions held later in the year, which are eventually whittled down to candidate delegations sent to the national convention in August 2008.
The process for Republicans is relatively simple: attendees arrive and cast written ballots to select their choices in a straw poll.
But for Democrats, the process is much more complex.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
On Jan. 3, after arriving at their caucus site, Iowa Democrats will be greeted with the reading of letters from each candidate who would like to deliver last-minute appeals for support. At each location, most campaigns will have precinct captains on-site who will use detailed lists of committed supporters to assemble their candidate's fan club in a corner of the room.
Here's where it gets complicated.
The Democratic caucus process requires that a candidate have the support of 15 percent of the total attendees to be "viable" in any given precinct. At the Knoxville pie contest, for example, the total count of mock caucus-goers was 37, so each pie required six supporters (37 multiplied by 0.15) to stay in the game. At first count, only apple and rhubarb met that threshold, so supporters of rival pies had to "realign" into viable factions.
Similarly, at the real caucus in January, supporters of nonviable candidates will have to shift to create stronger groups.
Unless they don't. A campaign that is at risk of losing its viability can band together with another nonviable campaign. (At the pie caucus, the predictable partnership of cherry and blueberry yielded the formation of a single pro-blueberry group.)
Even more complex: nonviable campaigns can also recruit supporters from dominant campaigns by arguing that a few castoffs won't hurt an already-viable group and will rob delegates from rivals. Negotiations like that could provide minor victories statewide for some of the second-tier candidates, which could theoretically result in a surprise third-place showing for the camp that harnesses the system in the most effective way.
But if nonviable campaigns can't garner the needed 15 percent, their supporters will be wooed by those that can. This is where the oft-discussed "second choice" becomes important; caucus-goers usually go into their precinct meetings with a good sense of whether or not their guy (or gal) will stay alive, so most consider their backup candidate.
So, for example, despite the protestations of some members, a few cherry supporters were won over by the well-organized captain of the apple team.
Rate candidates' positionsBut wait, there's more. Caucuses, unlike primaries, are neither a one-person-one-vote nor a winner-take-all contest. Each precinct assigns a set number of delegates to the county convention, meaning that several campaigns can tally support in any given locale.
So, in the end in Knoxville, even though the all-American apple pie garnered the most supporters after nabbing a number of former blueberry loyalists, it only won four of the 10 delegate points allotted. The other viable groups -- pineapple, rhubarb and blueberry -- each won two.
In some cases the allotment of delegates can be so mathematically close that a coin-toss is needed.
Confused yet? Veteran caucus organizers are quick to explain to newcomers that they don't have to understand all the rules to participate. But it's undeniable that the campaign that grasps the ins and outs of the caucus process will be in the best position to come out on top at the end of that cold night about a month from now.
And despite the complexity of the caucus procedure, there was one rule that everyone in Knoxville could agree on.
"Please eat a piece of pie before you go."
"But," clarified Henry, "You don't have to eat the pie you caucused for."

If your dog is coughing or sneezing, but is in otherwise good health, you may be able to treat the condition as you would a simple human cold — with lots of liquids, healthy foods (Chicken soup, even? But of course! Just make sure to leave out the bones.), warmth, and maybe even some time in a warm and humid room. This can be done by placing a humidifier near his rest area or by filling the bathtub with steaming water and letting the dog hang out in the bathroom for a bit (not in the water), just to let the steam loosen up his sinuses and lungs.
It is important to note that while most respiratory conditions will begin to improve within several days from the time of onset, some dogs' immune systems are not as prepared for an infection and may need a course of antibiotics or other medications in order to fully recover.
If your dog is either very young or very old, it is best to have her looked over by your veterinarian, since dogs at either end of the age scale tend to have less capable immune systems and can suffer more as a result.
You can help to prevent a cold by keeping her indoors during cold, wet weather, with just brief trips outside for relief. It isn't the cold temperature that creates the illness, of course, but over exposure to unfriendly temperatures or environments can create a physical situation that makes it easier for a bacterial or viral germ to latch on and take hold in the body. And making sure the physical body is at its healthiest is the main preventative for a host of diseases, not just the cold. Provide your dog with plenty of fresh water — even if there is water still in the bowl, make sure to change it out at least once a day, ideally with a clean bowl every day — and healthy foods so that your dog's immune system can keep up with whatever germs come his way, and so that he has the strength to exercise at a level that is normal for his age and breed. If your dog is of a breed that typically has respiratory challenges, your veterinarian may suggest keeping a humidifier in your dog's rest area as a matter of course.
Finally, it can be challenging enough to have one pet who is as "sick as a dog," you certainly don't want a house-full of them. While your dog is ill, make sure she is separated from the other dogs in the house so that the infection is not passed along, and if symptoms don't improve or appear to worsen, consult with your veterinarian.

"Embrace Creative Constraints" is my second in a series of iPhone photography articles at Manfrotto Imagine More over the month of September. This piece is about my practice of imposing constraint to push for creative growth:
I'm curious to know if you make a practice of creative constraint and how it affects your work. Talk to me!
Embrace Creative Constraints
It didn't take long, though, for me to realize that a smartphone's camera can be much more than just a snap-and-shoot. There is often heavy criticism waged against the quality limitations of phone cameras and the terrible editing that some people commit with the apps, but this is a narrow view carried largely by film photography purists who don't understand that phone cameras and apps are really just another set of tools for image creation. There is no right or wrong way to create beautiful photography and photography-based images, so if you find yourself armed with an iPhone over a Sunday brunch and an afternoon walk, why not make the most of it?

Reviewby Carl Kimlinger,
Thermae Romae
DVD - Complete Collection
Lucius Modestus, an architect in Ancient Rome, builds baths that most people think are stuffy and old-fashioned. This is the reign of cosmopolitan Emperor Hadrian, and Lucius's baths are sooo Emperor Trajan. Lucius needs to get on the cutting edge fast or he's going to be begging for denarii on the streets. Lucky for Lucius, he develops a helpful little tic: Whenever he has a water mishap (also known as "drowning") he time-travels to modern Japan. Bath-loving Japan is a goldmine of advanced bathing technology, which Lucius, despite his fundamental misunderstanding of what's happening, steals like a bandit. In no time he's the toast of Rome. He even catches Hadrian's eye. Which means the pressure's really on.
Curiously, before watching this comic oddity from the oddity-mongers at Eastern Star, I'd never really considered the subtle differences, in a reviewing context, between the words "stupid" and "dumb." Dumb implies a brute deficit in intelligence. A dumb show is a crude simpleton. It doesn't know it's dumb; it just is. Stupid implies deliberation. A stupid show chooses to be stupid. (Or at least, it can.) A stupid show is a clown, prancing around empty-headed because that's what it wants to do. Thermae Romae is not a dumb show. It is, however, a very stupid one.
That much should be obvious from any basic synopsis of the show. There's no way that a show about a time-slipping bath architect could be anything but silly and pointless. And Thermae is not a show to swim against the current. It embraces goofy frivolousness whole-heartedly, serving up two hours of po-faced gags, cross-millennia culture clashes, and bath-building adventures into which not one iota of gravity or intelligence sneaks. Despite its setting and its time-travel trappings, Thermae Romae is a lot less Ben-Hur or The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and a lot more Cromartie High School.
It may seem a little odd to name-drop a forgotten comedy from a heedless time in American anime licensing, but honestly, it's the only anime whose sense of humor comes close to approximating Thermae's. They share a love of nonsense sight gags and visual non-sequiturs (Lucius's rival, the former head architect of the Imperial court, is a badly-drawn elderly blob who is forever frozen in a kind of Ultraman pose), a perpetually poised poker face, and an aptitude for turning primitive animation into self-aware yuks.
I say "the only anime" because outside of anime, there are actually quite a few comedies with quite a lot in common with Thermae. Indeed all it would need is a deadpan dub and it could slip unnoticed into pretty much any comedy block on Adult Swim. Especially once the series leaves its broadcast episodes behind and starts to delve into extra-crude penis humor.
As the series wears on—and even at a mere ten half-episodes, it does wear on—dud episodes become rather more common. The penis episode is pretty much a total loss, though it does have the series' only look inside Lucius's personal life, which naturally ends in a mean gag. We will not speak of the hot-springs murder episode. Okay, maybe we'll mention the Jack Bauer reference. But nothing else.
The freshness of the show's humor also starts to wear off as Thermae wears on. The series' comedic foundation is the clash between its scholarly rendition of Roman culture and its stupid-as-hell premise; between Lucius's grave classical demeanor and the goony situations he finds himself in. And there's only so far that that'll get you. Which is, by my calculation, about six half-episodes—AKA, the show's TV run. Thus the unfunny flailing of the post-TV penis and mystery-parody episodes.
Thermae is an incredibly cheap show. It's Flash-animated—by the same guys who Flash-animated Nyaruani—which means that characters are bendy cardboard cutouts who slide two-dimensionally across backgrounds with severely limited depth of field. The only part of anyone's face that moves is their mouth, and only as much as is necessary for a blah-blah-blah talking effect. The only times the series moves beyond front-on, squarely composed medium shots are the times when Lucius consumes a Japanese bath-time treat and lets off a Mister Ajikko reaction shot.
The series is, however, unusually adept at mining its own technical limitations for fun veins of humor. Lucius looks like a Roman painting trapped in a Flash anime, which I guess is kind of what he is and also pretty inherently hilarious. The deliberate shoddiness of pretty much everything means the show basically never stops mocking itself and that the weird intrusions of quality (there's a slick 3DCG penis talisman that recurs later on) are even more comically incongruous.
Still more incongruous is the show's score, which plunders Western classical music for musical gravitas to flagrantly waste on its stupid gags. Wagner is a favorite, for obvious reasons.
If you're looking for something far, far off of anime's many well-beaten paths, Thermae Romae is a good bet. It is certainly different, and if used right, pretty potently funny. By used right I mean watched with a couple of like-minded friends, preferably while your critical faculties are suitably impaired. Don't expect to emerge enriched by the experience though. Besides picking up the odd tidbit about Roman culture, that is. The show really is weirdly accurate with its history.

Redwood Drug Possession Attorney
Drug Possession in the Bay Area
If you or a family member has been arrested and charged with drug possession, you have many concerns, worries, and questions.
They may be about:
- Your legal options
- The prosecution process
- The potential consequences of a drug possession conviction
Talk to a Bay Area drug possession attorney from the Law Offices of Shelley D. Dwyer as soon as possible. We can discuss your options relating to charges involving methamphetamine, marijuana, heroin, cocaine, or prescription drugs.
Consequences of a Drug Possession Conviction
The penalties for a drug possession conviction in California vary depending on the amount and type of the drug. Additional factors may also affect sentencing, including having a criminal history and firearm possession at the time of the arrest. Possible consequences of a drug possession conviction include fines, serious prison time, probation, and other penalties.
Alternatives to Traditional Penalties
One way to convince a judge of your sincerity about changing your ways is to enroll in a treatment program. Any harm you have done in conjunction with possession and use of drugs should be remedied wherever possible. Diversion programs such as deferred entry of judgment (DEJ) and Prop 36 are intended to address the root of your problem and keep a criminal conviction off your record.
Attorney Shelley D. Dwyer's skills will benefit you from the moment you call, through negotiation and handling your case, to trial if that is in your best interest. Countless defenses are available in any trial, from search and seizure violations to simple lack of evidence.
By identifying creative approaches and thinking outside the box, attorney Shelley D. Dwyer often wins a wide variety of drug possession and criminal defense cases. Judges, juries, and even prosecutors can be convinced to see your side of the story. But you must have an attorney who focuses on criminal defense and has decades of practical experience, as Mrs. Dwyer does. Any sentence you receive should address your problems, not just punish you unfairly.
Contact a Bay Area Drug Possession Attorney
If you have been accused of drug possession, drug sales, driving under the influence of drugs, or another drug crime in the San Francisco Bay Area or anywhere in California, contact us to schedule a free initial consultation.
If you call (650) 419-2940, we will address your concerns immediately or return your call within one hour.
