Financial advisors have long known that the financial needs of women are different from those of men because women live longer and usually earn less money, but if the women are married, advisors usually develop one financial plan for the couple, known as the household.
(Related: 10 alarming facts about women and retirement risks)
Now a new study from the Center for Retirement Research (CRR) at Boston College makes the case that married women deserve their own financial plan whereby their finances are analyzed separately, apart from their male spouse, because they're more likely than ever to not stay married. (The study did not consider same-sex marriages.)
(Related: Forward-thinking advisors focus on women)
Today women spend fewer years married than earlier generations did because they get married later or not at all and they get divorced more frequently, according to the study.
(Related: Divorce is destroying retirement)
The CRR report uses data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a national representative survey of people over age 50, and focuses on the portion of their lives that women over 20 spent being married. It compares those percentages among several cohorts: the oldest, born between 1931 and 1941; war babies (1942-1947); early boomers (1948-1953); and mid boomers (1954-1959).
After making several adjustments to the data, dated 2014, the CRR study found that mid-boomer women, age 54 to 60, will have spent slightly more than half their lives married, compared with 73% for the oldest cohort, age 73 to 83. Those percentages remained the same when comparing the two groups, with some college education and with a high school degree or less.
Close to half the boomer women divorced, compared with 34% of oldest cohort, and more than 12% never married, compared with less than 4% of the oldest cohort. Also, mid boomer women married later, at age 24, compared with 21 for the oldest cohort.
The study also found that black women spent substantially less time married than white women. Black mid-boomer women spent 32% of their lives married compared with 59% for white women in the same age bracket. No specific explanations were given for the gap other than a footnote noting that the difference has "been documented elsewhere," with a reference to another study.
The CRR study concludes that women as a group are "going to spend less than half their adult years as part of a couple…. [which] "shows up across race and educational attainment," and "has significant implications for financial planning."

Ability Pharmaceuticals, a drug development biopharmaceutical company specialized in oncology, announced today that has received orphan-drug designation (ODD) for ABTL0812 from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. This regulatory milestone comes after the ODD for ABTL0812 in pancreatic cancer by the FDA in December 2016, and the ODD for pediatric cancer neuroblastoma granted by EMA and FDA in 2015.
The ODD program of the EMA grants special status to medicines and biological products intended to treat, diagnose or prevent rare diseases, which affect less than 5 people every 10 000 in the European Union (EU). This designation establishes a period of exclusivity for seven years of commercialization against competition, as well as certain incentives, such as federal grants, tax credits, a decrease in regulatory fees in the drug approval process, and clinical development advice.
Pancreatic cancer is a life-threatening disease with a significant unmet medical need. The incidence of this cancer has markedly increased over the past several decades. Moreover, treatment options of pancreatic cancer are very limited due to its poor response to chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery as conventionally used.
In preclinical studies, ABTL0812 have shown efficacy in pancreatic cancer as single agent and synergistic effect (by 8 to 90 times) in combination with taxanes, platinum compounds and gemcitabine, with induction of tumor regression without increasing the toxicity associated with chemotherapy. First-line therapy in patients with either locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer includes these compounds, and administered in combination with ABTL0812 could greatly improve the treatment outcome.
ABTL0812 is currently in phase 2 as first-line therapy in combination with chemotherapy in patients with endometrial or squamous lung cancer at Vall dHebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO, Barcelona) and Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO, LHospitalet, Badalona and Girona), INCLIVA (Valencia) and Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocio (Sevilla). The study will also include top leading centers in France.
"Receiving another Orphan Drug Designation for ABTL0812 is an important regulatory milestone achieved by AbilityPharma and an exciting step towards the clinical advancement of this first-in-class therapy," said Carles Domenech, PhD, CEO of Ability Pharmaceuticals. "We will continue to aggressively pursue our clinical development program with ABTL0812 for pancreatic cancer for the benefit of these patients, who currently have a short life expectancy once diagnosed.
About ABTL0812
ABTL0812 causes cell death by autophagy through the overexpression of TRIB3, an endogenous Akt regulator. It is a first-in-class fully differentiated oral targeted anticancer compound inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway without being a direct kinase inhibitor. Its unique mechanism of action was published at Clinical Cancer Research in December 2015.
In preclinical cancer models ABTL0812 is efficacious as single agent with an excellent safety profile in a broad spectrum of cancer types: lung, endometrial, pancreatic cancer and neuroblastoma. In these models the compound has also synergistic effect with chemotherapy (taxanes, platinum compounds and gemcitabine) without increasing its toxicity. ABTL0812 is also active on cells resistant to chemotherapy or other targeted therapies, on tumor stem cells and inhibits metastasis formation. Preliminary results show promising immunomodulatory effects.
ABTL0812 is currently in phase 2 as first line therapy in combination with chemotherapy in patients with endometrial or squamous lung cancer. The study includes centers in Spain and France.
In the phase 1/1b clinical trial (29 patients with advanced solid tumors), ABTL0812 showed the best safety and tolerability compared to other inhibitors of the pathway; no dose-limiting toxicities were identified. The efficacy in patients was comparable to the best PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibitors in similar clinical trials. Remarkably 2 patients had extremely long disease stabilizations over one year (14 and 18 months). Additionally, ABTL0812 showed high efficacy on biomarkers of the pathway with dose-response effect.

The designation given to Gioteck's PlayStation 3-compatible controller is a bit of misnomer. Moniker and marketing aside, the SC-1 Wireless Sports Controller is proficient during protracted sessions of FIFA Soccer 2013 or NHL 13 but is just as competent at handling genres which transcend athletics, holding its own in fighting, racing, and first-person shooter arenas. Like most third-party controllers, the peripheral has its share of contentious design decisions, but an augmented feature set and well-heeled ergonomics push the Gioteck past many of its competitors.
Improving of the functionality of the DualShock 3 can be a fool's errand; like most third-party controllers, the SC-1 finds favor in the subjectivity of comfort. PlayStation 3 owners envious of the standard Xbox 360 controller will certainly appreciate Gioteck's efforts to form a hybridized device. While retaining the compact size of the DualShock, the SC-1 offers the offset analog sticks and triggers that have earned favor in the Microsoft camp.
Fans of fighting games have perpetually criticized the Xbox 360's controller directional pad, which is little more than crown of plastic neglectfully attached to an eight-way joystick. A better solution is the inlayed circlet of the DualShock, Power A Airflow, or MadCatz Precisionaim Controller, which offer exactitude by dividing the cardinal directions. Regretfully, Gioteck echos Microsoft's design style- offering a raised d-pad which flanks the left analog stick. In execution, internal notching does sharpen inexact angles (while not prohibiting the quarter-circle motions common to fighters), but lacks a bit of precision.
However, pugnacious-minded players shouldn't lose all interest in Gioteck's peripheral; the controller's macro capability is to be commended. Simultaneously pressing Turbo with either the F1 or F2 button allows players to program a sequence of up to eight commands, ideal for gamers who haven't mastered the Shoryuken or a Fatality. As the presence of a Turbo key indicates, players can assign an eight press per second rapid fire to any button- an operation which should be useful to shmup aficionados. Racing devotees aren't forgotten- the controller allows gamers to increase the sensitivity of the analog sticks on the fly, allowing the slightest movements to simulate a full joystick pull. Strangely, there's no option to reduce sensitivity, which would have been helpful for FPS buffs hoping to increase their sniping accuracy.
Investigating the SC-1's individual components reveal's largely positive results. The controller's analog stick provide an exceptionally smooth pull and offer a respectable amount of spring, while the diminutive rear triggers reveal a pleasing range of motion. Face buttons feel heavier that the DualShock 3's hollow keys and extend an innocuous flat surface. The SC-1 delivers a healthy amount of vibration, which emanate from the rumble motors house in each arm. Unfortunately, motion sensing functionality is missing, meaning players will have to find a DualShock 3 if they want to play High Velocity Bowling or Bentley's Hackpack. While that issue is forgivable given the scant number of games which use motion, less justifiable in the placement of the SC-1 top bumpers, which either require player of average-sized hands to either arch their index fingers for long periods of time or engage with the middle of a digit. Ideally, these bumpers would be moved inward, while reproducing the curve at the top of the controller.
One of the problems with any non-Bluetooth PS3 controller is the requirement for a dongle. Not only do these devices block one of the USB ports of a PlayStation 3, but are easy to misplace. Every manufacturer should offer a compartment or clasp to keep the dongle connected during transport. While the SC-1 uses the 2.4 Ghz connection method, the peripheral attempts to make the best of the situation- automatically turning off after not the console is powered down and offering a respectable operational range of more than 50 feet. Battery life is praiseworthy as well, with tests showing an average playtime of 27 hours between recharges through the mini-USB port. Aesthetically, the SC-1 is eye-grabbing without looking garish, with sinuous black and grey stripes on the top and a cardinal-hued foundation. The device's finish is faultless, offering a smooth, non-slip surface with feels good and won't slip during marathon gaming sessions.
Surpassing Sony's popular pack-in controller is a near-insurmountable feat. The best that most peripheral manufacturers can do is forgo universal appeal and provide a controller that caters to individual tastes. In that respect, the SC-1 Wireless Sports Controller succeeds, making some of Microsoft's design choices available for PlayStation owners. Coupled with the ability to program macros, assign rapid fire, and adjust stick sensitivity, Gioteck's fifty dollar (currently $43.51 USD at Amazon) accomplishes, but not within room for improvement.
Review Overview
Build Quality - 85%
Functionality - 80%
Aesthetics - 85%
Performance - 80%
Value - 80%
Summary : Ignore the "Sports" designator, the SC-1 is a solid performer in several genres-and if Gioteck could improve the unit's directional pad, then the controller could truly be a jack of all trades.

In a party primary, when you try to persuade people to support a candidate who is a little out of the "mainstream," one of the common responses you hear goes something like "Well, of course, I'd love it if Candidate X was elected, but I just don't think they can win." People who make this argument profess that they share your values, but say that there are pragmatic reasons for choosing another, more "electable" candidate than the one you support.
I think many of the people who say things like this are sincere. I find their attitude, however, to be exasperating. This is because the "pragmatic" case is rarely actually pragmatic, and misunderstands the nature of politics.
Let's consider the case of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, running for governor in Michigan. I do not know whether Abdul will win his primary tomorrow. But if he loses, it will be in part because of voters who had the same misgivings that Congresswoman Debbie Dingell had. Dingell suggested that while she really likes Abdul, the fact that he is a Muslim would make a general election very difficult. It's not that she is prejudiced, but that Michigan is. And since it's very important for Democrats to win in November, they must select the candidate who has the highest chance of winning.
There are plenty of people, like Dingell, who do not realize just what this line of thinking actually means. First, it means that while the person claims not to be basing their vote on prejudice, they are still declining to vote for the person because of that person's religious identity or race. They are "part of the problem," because even though they claim only to be recognizing the prejudices of others, they are also contributing numerically to the group of people voting on the basis of race/ethnicity/religion. Employers who racially discriminate have often used similar defenses: I am not prejudiced, but my customers are, and if I am to make a living I must discriminate. Ultimately, it amounts to capitulation: Instead of reacting to the prejudice of others by becoming determined to defy it and work to make sure people get over it, one is actually contributing to worsening its effects. (To see more starkly what this kind of argument means, consider what we'd think of 2016 Democratic primary voters who said "I'm not voting for Hillary because I don't think a woman can win in a general election. Not that I'm sexist, you see, but…" Or someone who says this about Elizabeth Warren in 2020.)
I also think that people are simply wrong, or at least overconfident, about what is "possible." Many people thought the United States was so racist that it would never elect a black president. This turned out to be false. In fact, we know very little about what is "possible" and "impossible." In politics, the range of possibilities is discomfortingly large. Personally, I think it's so expansive that the United States could go either socialist or fascist, depending on what people choose to do. This certitude in what was "possible" led people to conclude that Donald Trump could never be elected president, because he was simply outside the range of plausible presidents. Implausible events occur every day, though, and it turned out that you could, in fact, say extreme, disgusting, and offensive things and be elected. Trump should have proved once and for all that we have no idea who can and can't win a general election.
The reality is that the United States is an extremely diverse country, where nearly all generalizations you could make are true. It has enough grotesque right-wing idealogues that it could easily go Nazi if people on the left gave up and didn't vote. It is also a place, however, where left policies are much more popular than Republican policies, which means that the country could go much further to the left than the current makeup of the government suggests. What happens depends on what people choose to do, and depending on that choice, the seemingly impossible could easily become possible—in either direction.
I happen to think that the most serious barrier to accomplishing political goals is the people who insist that they cannot be done. This is why I think one of the worst things Hillary Clinton has ever said is "single payer will never, ever happen." By saying it, you place a larger barrier in the way of its success than any of the actually-existing impediments. As a matter of fact, single-payer programs are not outlandish. We're talking about making the American healthcare system more like the Canadian healthcare system. Yet Clinton said that it would never happen. What, not in 20 years? 100 years? 500 years? Are our ambitions really so low, our sense of political possibility so constrained, that we think you can't even adjust healthcare funding to operate in the same way that our next-door neighbor does it? People with imaginations this impoverished are far more of an impediment to change than anything about the world.
I have been conflating identity with ideology here, or talking about "Michigan won't vote for a Muslim" and "Michigan won't vote for a leftist" as indistinguishable phenomena. While Abdul El-Sayed may be both, these are often separate debates. But they share a common feature, which is "confidence in the limits of what you can do, without actual evidence of what those limits are." Nothing in the past tells us what we can hope to do in the future; so many things have happened in our history that once seemed inconceivable that it would be deeply unwise to make one's predictions too certain.
I'm not opposed to thinking of voting pragmatically. In fact, I think that's exactly what you should do. But I think "electability" is often almost a lazy way of picking the candidate that's easiest to elect rather than the one that ought to be elected. Instead of saying "Candidate X can't win, I'm not going to vote for them," say "Candidate X ought to win, so I'm going to vote for them, and then I'm going to figure out how to make sure they can win." In England, many people said Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party was doomed: It was too far left. It would never come close in a general election. The party had committed electoral suicide. But then a general election happened, and Corbyn's Labour actually came very close to winning. Why? Because thousands of people had changed the game: They had decided not to accept the idea that they weren't "electable," and went out to change people's minds. Instead of treating the political world as something static and fixed, they treated it as something that could be altered through hard work and activism.
That's what we saw during the Civil Rights movement, too. Martin Luther King was annoyed by white moderates more than almost any other group, because white moderates insisted they shared King's goals, but just felt they weren't pragmatic. King knew that this attitude was the very thing that was standing in the way of progress. A faith in the impossible and a determination to succeed no matter what the odds is an important part of moving a political movement forward.
Instead of asking "Which goals can we accomplish?", it's often better to ask "Which goals should we have, and how are we going to accomplish them?" That's because nobody can actually tell the answer to what "can" be done, because nobody is God, so nobody can see every future. "Aiming low" ensures that one cannot hope to achieve much, and "electability" concerns are often a self-fulfilling prophecy. Can Candidate X win? Wrong question. The question is: What are you going to do to make sure Candidate X does win?

This winter, I have developed a strange fascination with faux deer. This little obsession has been a concern (or annoyance?) to my husband and friends for a little while now. If you come to my house, I will most likely grill you with questions concerning your opinion of the latest faux deer I've clipped from a magazine. I have a whole series of questions I like to ask in order to assess my latest favorite's potential for adding beauty to my happy little home.
- Do you think it looks real? (Desired answer: no)
- What do you think about the material the deer is made of? (Desired answer: unique and unusual)
- What do you think of the expression on the faux deer's face? (Yes, I really do ask this question. Desired answer: kindly and wise)
My favorite faux deer of the moment? This beauty from Roost, shown in the Country Home Show Home this year. I believe this deer would produce all of the desired answers above. Plus, this room looks like the perfect spot for an afternoon curled up in front of the fire with a book and some really great chocolate.
It all started with a deer I found around Christmas that everyone thought looked really angry. (Picture is no longer around to show you). I'm afraid that this particular faux deer might have been so angry looking that it turned everyone else off the idea completely. I keep trying though.
A few more favorites from Domino.
A simple deer silhouette. Such a modern and fresh take on the idea!
Here are a few other very unique favorites:
A faux deer LIGHT! I love the description: "A post modern approach to an admired cultural icon". Available at unica home for a mere $7600!
And how amazing is this? A cable knit faux deer! This is a gorgeous hand-crafted ivory wool creation from artist Rachel Denny through Vitamin D(esign). A one-of-a-kind piece of art if you ask me. I know the perfect one is out there for me. The quest continues...
P.S.--I just saw this at Domino. I think its a faux fish! It might be the perfect update my home needs for Spring...

Do you spend a lot of time thinking what to make for dinner? I do, but I suppose this is what you do when you are a mother, isn't it? Come on ladies, talk to me, tell me what you do. How do you plan your dinners at home. I would love to hear and learn from you all. Back to me, I am the cook in our house during the week. I usually plan my dinners before I do the shopping but the last few weeks I have been a bit all over the place. We've been going shopping with no shopping list which naturally enough ends badly where the shopping budget is concerned! Even with a full fridge it seems like there's nothing to eat in there! Ok I'm just rambling, this all must say something about my state of mind. Being a mother of 3 is not and easy job. Anyway Soup in this warm weather seems strange but I needed to use up some of the veggies and honestly I wanted some hearty healthy food in my body. And and and it's in one pot so less dishes! I just had to brown the meat, add all the ingredients and simmer. I thought I was cooking enough for 2 nights, how wrong I was. I sometimes cook in the morning so that I can take the picture in the natural sunlight so at 12 o'clock I was in the back garden taking pictures. When I was finished I sat down and ate both of the bowl of soup you see in the picture. I meant to have one but it was too bloody good! Ssshhh…

A Seattle, Washington, TV editor has been fired after he reportedly aired altered footage of President Trump's Oval Office address.
FOX affiliate Q13 broadcasted video from the Tuesday night speech that showed Trump with very orange-toned skin and with his tongue hanging out languidly from his mouth after making a statement. The video appears to have been saturated and the tongue doctored.
Q13 news director Erica Hill said: "This does not meet our editorial standards and we regret if it is seen as portraying the president in a negative light."

Robust and Efficient Transfer Learning with Hidden Parameter Markov Decision Processes
Part of: Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 30 (NIPS 2017)[PDF] [BibTeX] [Supplemental] [Reviews]
Conference Event Type: Oral
We introduce a new formulation of the Hidden Parameter Markov Decision Process (HiP-MDP), a framework for modeling families of related tasks using low-dimensional latent embeddings. Our new framework correctly models the joint uncertainty in the latent parameters and the state space. We also replace the original Gaussian Process-based model with a Bayesian Neural Network, enabling more scalable inference. Thus, we expand the scope of the HiP-MDP to applications with higher dimensions and more complex dynamics.

What's Behind Romney's Gaffes?
Most of the political news this opening weekend of the London Olympics was taken up with Mitt Romney's disastrous gaffes on the first leg of an overseas trip designed to give needed foreign policy credibility. I won't reiterate them, because if you haven't heard them by now you probably don't have a pulse.
Will even restrain from repeating his juiciest campaign bloopers, because you'll see them again and again in Democratic commercials.
At least the man didn't bring gifts of ham and cheese sandwiches to Israel on the second leg of his journey. Instead he delivered a pandering neo-con speech following a tête-à-tête with his pal Bibi Netanyahu, who clearly wants to help defeat Obama. Romney proposed a break with every president since Truman by promising to move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The London gaffes will have zero affect on the campaign because his constituency doesn't give a damn what Britishers or other foreigners think. The Jerusalem promise may solidify a few conservative Jewish or Evangelical votes, but foreign policy will play little role in November's election (barring a new war), even though one of the three scheduled debates is devoted to it. If it mattered, Barack Obama would be polling miles ahead, which he ain't.
Nevertheless, many questions come to mind about Romney's propensity to phrase things robotically and blurt nonsequiturs, giving the appearance of being uncomfortable in his own skin and otherwise unable to relate to most people.
Months ago, as Romney's gaffes were piling up, it crossed my mind that he might have a touch of Asperger's syndrome, the form of autism that inhibits normal social interaction.
But after numerous reports from friends that he is personally engaging, often warm and even funny at times, Dr. Rose chucked that diagnosis. Those reports were corroborated and documented to a degree by his highly successful role as a businessman, Olympics chieftain and governor of Massachusetts. His gubernatorial speeches and interviews usually were comfortable and articulate—granted he was beginning to flip-flop on many issues.
The ultimate conclusion is that the real Romney might actually be reasonable and moderate—even liberal as GOPers go—but he knows that the real Romney is unacceptable to today's Republican majority. Further, he knows that details of his work at Bain Capital are embarrassing, as would be details of his religion and certainly his financial and tax situation. Thus we have a man who is playing an uncomfortable ideological role and must evade and avoid discussion of most of his life.
He must stay tightly scripted and secretive, adhere to his new role as far-right believer while constantly in the limelight and forced to interact with all kinds of people outside his normal social sphere—in addition to the nasty media. That can throw anyone off script.
He is living a lie. That's a huge psychic strain to maintain 24/7, and to my mind the real reason he continues to bloop and otherwise appear to be an Asperger's patient.
How in the world can he hold up in the debates?

Why Does Diesel Fuel Gel?by Diane Wilkoff
As winter approaches, diesel gelling can become a serious problem in colder climates. Ambient air temperature and the chemical make up of the fuel determines if a combustion engine will start or stall.
Paraffin Wax
The ability to not gel in colder climates is an issue for diesel because it is comprised of straight and branched chain hydrocarbons. These kinds of hydrocarbons -- also called paraffin waxes -- become solid at the lower winter temperatures found in colder geographic areas. The amount of paraffin wax diesel contains depends on the kind of crude oil used to produce the diesel fuel and the process used to manufacture it.
Cloud Point
As diesel cools, it drops to a temperature where it cannot dissolve the waxy components that precipitate out of the fuel. The temperature at which wax just begins to precipitate and the fuel becomes cloudy is the cloud point.
Pour Point
When the temperature of diesel drops from six to ten degrees fahrenheit below the cloud point, so much wax forms that it can no longer flow. At this temperature, diesel has reached its pour point or gel point.
Changing the Pour Point
Additives can lower a diesel fuel's gel point or cloud point and improve its cold flow properties. Most These are typically polymers that diminish the effect of wax crystals on fuel flow by modifying their size and shape.
Biodiesel Gelling
Biodiesel fuel which is required to be mixed with diesel fuel in many states also adds to gelling. Biodiesel gels at higher temperatures than conventional diesel.

19 Weeks
We are also making some major strides on Connor's new "Big Boy" room! Last weekend we completed the painting of the room, all of his furniture from PBK arrived and we have the room completely cleared out of all the old furniture! Here are some early before and afters. I'll keep posting pics as we get further along in the process! My plan is to have this completely ready for Connor when we get back from LA in early April! He is so excited! We go up and 'visit' his new room daily and talk about his new bed, etc.... I really hope this transition goes smoothly because the next step is potty training!! ahhh!
BEFORE - As our office, the room was already a mess because we had been storing things for the NEW room in there!
In Progress - That's my dad and grandfather painting ... we paid them in McDonald's and beer!
AFTER - Still not cleaned up ... and the tape is still on, but you can get an idea of the colors. They are Pottery Barn colors: Old Blue Jeans and Navaho White.
What we came home to after dinner on Thursday night! All the furniture and bedding! (minus the dresser which will have "white glove" delivery including assembly and clean-up of the boxes and mess... which is good because we'll have A LOT to lug upstairs and assemble as it is!
This is the look I'm going for. You can see everything online here. I've pretty much gotten everything in this room, accept a different lamp and rug, plus we're not going to put a basketball hoop in Connor's room as he is already WAY too obsessed with shooting basketball (and this is coming from a HUGE UK Basketball fan! But enough is enough already with the sports inside the house!)
PS: Pottery Barn Kids actually has a pretty good incentive to both create a registry with them AND open a PBK credit card. You earn a 10% off registry completion discount for 6 months after the date of the event you register for (which can be anything .... in our case, Connor moving to his big-boy room!) to be used for anything you don't recieve. That discount can be used online or in the store. The credit card has a rewards program where you earn $25 for every $250 you spend! That's a really great perk... much better than most store credit cards! (just make sure you pay it all off every month!) With our purchases for Connor's new room, I was able to get a personalized Anywhere Chair and Basketball Net Shelf for free! Yeah!

In order to assess the safety and efficacy of the newly emerging non-adhesive embolic agent, PHIL (Precipitating Hydrophobic Injectable Liquid), we conducted a retrospective monocentric study using a prospectively accumulated database of patients that used this innovation in treating brain arteriovenous malformations or dural arteriovenous fistulas. After gathering the data from this small population of patients via paper case reports developed specifically for evaluation, we considered the socio-demographic data, medical history, brain arteriovenous malformation morphology, procedure details, complications, and immediate follow up clinical angiographic results. In inspecting these factors and other statistical data, we were able to observe the rate of complete occlusion in both dural arteriovenous fistula and brain arteriovenous malformation patients and presurgical volume reduction of the nidus in brain arteriovenous malformation patients.
Impact Upon the conclusion of our study, PHIL was deemed an effective and safe option for managing brain arteriovenous malformations and dural arteriovenous fistulas, with results similar to those of other existing management techniques, but with an increased ease in material preparation and a significant decrease in radiographic artifacts on CT.

Written by recycle
Clean aluminium trays and foil are widely recycled. Enter your postcode in our Recycling Locator tool to find where you can recycle them near you.
How to recycle aluminium
- Rinse foil trays to remove any food residue
- Scrunch kitchen foil and wrappers together to form a ball - the bigger the ball, the easier it is to recycle. If the foil is contaminated with grease or burnt-on bits of food, throw it in your rubbish bin
You can usually recycle the following aluminium items:
- Drinks cans
- Foil containers (such as for takeaways)
- Barbeque and freezing trays
- Cigarette and tobacco foil
- Screw top lids from wine bottles (screw them back onto the bottle when you recycle it)
Are crisp packets recyclable?
You might be surprised that they aren't! Crisp packets are actually made from metallised plastic film which can't be recycled yet. Putting them into your recycling is an easy mistake to make, but they should actually go in your rubbish bin.
Do the scrunch test
Do the scrunch test to check whether your shiny wrapper is aluminium foil or plastic film: scrunch the wrapper in your hand - if it springs back open it's not recyclable foil.

As promised, another pair of paper-bag waist pants using the Sew House Seven Burnside Bibs pattern (original post here)
I love this Kaufman Essex yarn-dyed fabric in peacock. It's a combo of navy and turquoise threads. Plus, I just love Essex linen for britches. My pics are lightened, so here's the real thing:
I sewed this pretty much as I sewed as the grey pair, just changing the pattern to have a waistband, front and back, and keeping the wide waste-paper bag look.
Sewing tips: I'm a fanatic for belt loops that actually support a belt.
Front – I add a belt loop a couple inches out from the CF to support the belt buckle.
And, back -hello Burberry – I use 2 belt loops at the CB to prevent weighty drag.
I really like these, and wore them today to miscellaneous appointments. Feeling groovy, a little boho.
I have to say that I do not like the encumbrances of the new WordPress editor. I click, click, and click.
Moving on, I went through my belt hanger today and have lots of hardware to salvage!
Ciao! Coco

If you are anywhere CLOSE to Memphis, Tennessee, or you have available professional development funds from your school that will cover the travel, make plans to attend the 2011 Martin Institute Summer Conference. It will feature Bill Nye, the Science Guy as the keynote speaker!
The theme for this year's conference is "Teaching for Tomorrow," with an emphasis on 21st century skills. When I told my 10 year old daughter Bill Nye was the keynote speaker for this conference she almost flipped out… Especially when I quietly told her we couldn't go! If I wasn't presenting and sharing a keynote and workshop on iPads in Education for the summer 2011 TEPSA (Texas Elementary Principals and Supervisors Association) conference that week, I'd be in Memphis learning from Bill with other institute attendees!
In addition to Bill Nye, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam will also keynote the conference. Other featured speakers include Tom Barrett, an innovative primary school teacher from Nottingham, England; Carol Vukelich, an expert on early literacy; Viaja Wagle, a group leader at Harvard's Project Zero Institute; and Tiffany Boyd, a consultant with Heinemann Publishing. Workshop presenters include Apple Distinguished and Google Certified teachers, university professors, district curriculum trainers, and administrators and teachers at high performing schools.
If you attend Martin Institute Summer Conference this year, be sure to share some links to your learning with the Twitter hash tag, #micon11!

Keeping in step with the rich, saturated tones we saw all over the Fall 2011 runways, H&M's upcoming collection has us more than ready for cooler temperatures.
Modeled by beauties Karlie Kloss and Sasha Pivovarova, we love the luxe knits done in shades of plum, neutral creams and the darkest of browns.
My personal favorite is the always-classic camel coat, and the burgundy harem pants (a great alternative to trousers).
Will you add any pieces to your collection when it hits H&M stores in October?

This demo explains the concept of the arithmetic graph. To read this demo, you should know the basic definitions. Also, after reading the basic definitions, you should play a bit with the outer billiards demo. The applet at right goes along with this demo. Please initiate the applet by pressing the new kite button. You should see see a red polygonal shape appear in the bottom half of the applet.
selecting new kitesThe top half of the applet does some of the outer billiards dynamics on a kite. You select a new kite by changing the numbers (initially 7/11). You change these numbers using mouse clicks and the keyboard. You want to choose a rational number in the interval (0,1), such that the denominator is less than 30. The number you select is the kite parameter A.
The parallel linesThe top half of the applet shows a family of blue parallel lines. These lines are the ones of the form y=2k+1, for k an integer. The o.m.b. preserves these lines, and hence so does the square o.b.m. We let o2 denote the square o.b.m.
The return mapLet S be the union of the two light blue rays in the applet. If we start with some X in S, then there is some first power Y=o2^k(X) which again belongs to S. We write R(X)=Y. So, R is the first return map to S. Push the return map button on the applet to see the o2-orbit of X between X and R(X). Here X is marked by a yellow square and R(X) is marked by a light blue one. It turns out that the vector R(X)-X always has the form 2(A e1 + e2, e3); Here e1,e2,e3 are all numbers in the set {-1,0,1}. Moreover, e1+e2+e3 is even. Thus, really the pair (e1,e2) carries all the information about the return map. The numbers (e1,e2) depend on X.
Main constructionLet's start with the point X0=(1/q,1). Let the R-orbit be given by X1,X2,X3... Then X0=X0+2(Am0+n0,--) (m0,n0)=(0,0) X1=X0+2(Am1+n1,--) X2=X0+2(Am2+n2,--) X3=X0+2(Am3+n3,--), etc. The second coordinate are in the set {-1,1} and we ignore them. We get the arithmetic graph by connecting the vertices (m0,n0) to (m1,n1) to (m2,n2) etc., We call this graph G(A). The first coord of X_k is given M(m_k,n_k), as shown on the applet. If you click the middle mouse button over a point (m,n) on the bottom half of the applet, then the yellow point on the top moves to (M(m,n),--). The right yellow buttons control the second coordinate. In case you don't have a 3-button mouse, the applet has a 3-button mouse emulator. It is the control panel w/the word mouse in it.
basic propertiesWe are mainly interested in the arithmetic graph G(A) when A=p/q is rational and pq is odd. We call this the odd case In the odd case, G(p/q) is a polygonal arc that starts at (0,0) and ends at (q,-p). The orbit of the point X0=(1/q,1) is periodic, but the map M discussed above is not one-to-one. If we kept iterating the return map, in the odd case, we would generate an infinite embedded polygonal arc. My monograph establishes these basic properties. When pq is even, we observe that G(p/q) is always a closed embedded polygon. When you push the new kite button on the applet, the arithmetic graph is drawn in red on the bottom half of the applet. The boundary of the region is the actual arithmetic graph. We have colored it in to make a pretty picture. The distance from M(m,n) to the origin is proportional to the distance from (m,n) to the blue halfplane. So, if G(p/q) rises far away from this blue halfplane, then the orbit of X0=(1/q,1) goes far away from the origin. Thus, the oscillations of the arithmetic graph are directly related to the problem of finding unbounded orbits for outer billiards on kites.
the demo1. Select a lattice point (m,n) on the bottom half of the applet. For best effect, choose (m,n) to lie on the arithmetic graph. 2. Click the return map. You will now see a blue square appear near the yellow one on the bottom half. This blue square indicates an adjacent vertex in the arithmetic graph. If necessary, to see the whole orbit you can rescale the window with mouse clicks. 3. On the bottom half of the applet, select the lattice point marked by the blue square. You will see that the correponding yellow point on the top half moves to a point that has the same first coordinate as the blue point. 4. The yellow point might not coincide with the blue point. They could lie on different rays. You can use the yellow buttons to change rays so that the yellow and blue points match. 5. iterate the above 4 steps. This will illustrate how the arithmetic graph is traced out from the dynamics of the outer billiards map.
The Irrational CaseSo far we have talked about the arithmetic graph in the rational case. The irrational case is similar but there is one difference. In the rational case, the orbit of the point (t,1) is, from a combinatorial point of view, independent of t as long as t lies in the interval (0,2/q). This is why we choose to focus our attention on the orbit of the point (1/q,1). Setting e(p/q), we have our basic map M(m,n)=(2Am+2n+e,--) In the irrational case, there is typically no canonical choice of e, and so we just pick a value of e and call it the offset All we require is that e is not in 2Z[A]. We call G(A,e) the arithmetic graph relative to the offset e.
Other componentsWe have described the arithmetic graph G(A,e) as the result of following the orbit of the point X0=M(0,0). However, we could follow the orbit of any point M(m,n). In other words, we can defined an extended version of the arithemtic graph where two points (m1,n1) and (m2,n2) are joined by an edge if and only if there is a choice of numbers y1,y2 in {-1,1} such that (M(m1,n1),y1) and (M(m2,n2),y2) are related by the return map R. This notion never leads to a contradiction, because reflection in the X-axis conjugates R to its inverse. To, we would connect (m1,n1) to (m2,n2) iff we would connect (m2,n2) to (m1,n1). our graph G(A,e) is just the component of the extended graph that contains the origin.
the stripsIn the top window we have drawn a certain 4 strips. If you zoom out, you can get a better sense of these strips. If you select a lattice point (m,n) fairly far away from the magenta boundary, the corresponding point M(m,n) lies far from the origin in the top window. Select such a far-away point and doing the return map. You will then understand the significance of the strips.
Another appletThis applet draws nicer pictures of the arithmetic graph, and lets you choose fractions with denominator up to 1000.

Raw materials such as marble, garnet, granite stone, angular stone, quartzite is loaded in to the hopper, vibrating feeder will convey the stone into massive jaw crusher for primary crushing, the production capacity can be as much as 1200 tons per hour. The mostly crushed stone will likely be further crushed by impact crusher or cone crusher.
Stone quarry use ballast crusher and ballast crushing plant to get ballast. Distinctive kind of crusher has distinct application. Ballast crushing and screening plant consists of jaw crusher, common cone crusher, short head cone crusher, impact crusher, VSI crusher, mobile jaw crusher, portable cone crusher and mobile impact crusher. Besides, vibrating screen is used as sieving equipment, vibrating feeder as feeding equipment, belt conveyor as transferring equipment.
Ballast crushing and screening plant is consist of jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher, VSI stone crusher, vibrating screen, and belt conveyors.In an effort to get the eligible stones for highway and railway, quarry usually use the complete ballast crushing plant. In ballast crushing plant, stones firstly enter into Jaw crusher for primary crushing, then through belt conveyor evenly enter into impact crusher or cone crusher for fine crushing. Lastly, by way of vsi crusher stones mostly are cubic in shape. Vibrating screen is used as screening machine to screen out the distinct size of ballast. The ballast which are unqualified returns for the crushing plant for crushing once again.
