To measurement the glass block, take away the trim from the existing window and measure the rough opening. Update your rest room with a brand new wall-hung sink, hidden-tank bathroom and glass block window. We made that wall solely 43 in. above the floor so we may use the highest of the wall to carry shampoo and other shower provides. Preassemble the shower valve by soldering copper nipples and the shower supply pipe to male adapters and screwing them into the shower valve before fastening the valve to the blocking.
This may add prices and time onto your mission, so be certain that the contractor will contact you should these occasions occur. On account of many Inquires in regards to your local metropolis permits we've assigned a delegated in home transforming specialist to assist you together with your room additions, toilet, pool or deck and rather more based mostly on your specific needs.
Dry-fit the PVC piping meeting for the wall-hung rest room, bathe entice and sink. Also reduce out and remove all the existing water traces and fittings within the lavatory. Flip off the primary water supply to the home, and in a convenient location, lower the cold and warm water provide pipes for the toilet. Rerouting drain line plumbing is a big job on bogs which might be built on slabs.
There is a purpose that business bogs have wall-mounted bogs. Changing current floor house – Changing existing floor area into a bed room costs about $7,500 to $22,500 or more depending on options akin to walk-in closets, and so on. Adding new flooring area – Building onto your own home for the ground house can cost $25,000 to $50,000. Order a premade glass block window to fit your current opening (see 'How one can Order a Glass Block Window Panel' in this article).
Changing current ground space – Changing present flooring space into a bathroom can value from $3,000 to $6,000 for a basic rest room setup. A better-finish, extra spa-like bathroom can value from $forty,000 to $80,000. The 2-piece stone chair rail that runs on the high of the half walls and around the window is spendy, but it surely contributes more in appearance than its $25 per linear foot value.

UWTSD Anthropologists offer evidence to Parliamentary Inquiry into plastic packaging
Two anthropologists from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David's Lampeter campus were recently invited to give evidence to a Parliamentary inquiry into plastic packaging waste.
Two anthropologists from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David's Lampeter campus were recently invited to give evidence to a Parliamentary inquiry into plastic packaging waste.
Luci Attala, Senior Anthropology lecturer at UWTSD along with Applied Anthropology finalist, Rosemary Northover have written submissions to the inquiry drawing on their vast knowledge and experience of looking at how our behaviours shape our world.
"Discussions concerning the socio-environmental harms, and the inadequacies of effectively recycling, plastics are now well rehearsed," says Luci in her evidence.
"These issues are counterbalanced by plastic's enormous versatility and low production costs. To enable plastic to remain a useful material its inability to degrade needs to be addressed.
"Current practice almost forces consumers to purchase non-recyclable containers if they want to benefit from the contents. Governments should support moves away from recycling towards biodegradable with regards plastic containers," she adds.
Luci Attala's submission is very much focused on the issue of plastic consumption and consumer choice from the perspective of the young generation. Eighty undergraduate Anthropology at students fed into the report with the information presented resulting from three years of informal qualitative data collection.
"At UWTSD, Anthropology is concerned with human relationships with the environment. The evidence presented by us was used to investigate not only the scale of the problem but also to suggest policy changes and a new way forward," continues Luci.
"This submission document first describes the courses and then culminates with the students' suggestions for the future that arose from their research. It also demonstrates the apprehensions young people have towards plastic bottles, cups and other non-biodegradable containers.
"We believe that we need to significantly shift the onus away from the consumer and towards the producer (or seller) to ensure manufacturers are incentivised to use environmentally sustainable biodegradable materials in the creation their products."
Anthropology at UWTSD adopts an active, engaged stance to global issues where students are encouraged to challenge practices with a view to improve lives.
"Part of doing anthropology means getting out into the world to find out what people are up to," says Luci enthusiastically.
"We believe that being in new situations and experiencing new cultural practices offers students a particular breadth and depth of understanding that being in lecture theatres cannot give. Because of this we urge our students to get as much hands-on experiential learning as possible during their time with us."

Dalai Lama Ban on Dorje Shugden Part 2a (click here for part 1)
Part 2a shows evidence of the effects of the Dalai Lama's speeches enforcing the ban on Dorje Shugden. As a result of the Dalai Lama's speeches, temples have been desecrated, as his followers destoyed statues in Tibetan villages in India. The statues that have been destroyed had been blessed by the Dalai Lama's own spiritual teachers (gurus) Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and Kyabje Ling Rinpoche. Any monks who have protested against the Dalai Lama's ban have been expelled from their monasteries.
Dalai Lama Ban on Dorje Shugden Part 2b
Part 2b shows the violent side of the persecution of Shugden practitioners as a result of the Dalai Lama's ban. Including events in 2000, when 600 monks in Dokhang monastery were doing summer retreat, around 3,000 followers of the Dalai Lama attacked their monastery with stones and bricks. This part also includes interviews with lay people who have experienced extreme persecution as a result of the Dalai Lama's ban.

The plenary sessions bookending the Society of Hospital Medicine's HM18 conference will provide insight into the current state of hospital medicine and a glimpse at the directions in which it is evolving.
Opening the conference will be Kate Goodrich, MD, chief medical officer at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
"What I want people to understand is the evolution within our health care system from one where we pay for volume to paying for value, and the role that Medicare can play in that," Dr. Goodrich said in an interview. "Medicare has traditionally been sort of a passive payer, if you will, a passive payer of claims without a great deal of emphasis on the cost of care and the quality of care. [Now there is] a groundswell of concern nationally, not just here at CMS but nationwide, around the rising cost of care, and our quality of care is not as good as it should be for the amount that we spend."
Dr. Goodrich said her plenary talk will look at how "that came to be, and then what CMS and other payers in the country are trying to do about it." She said the United States is in a "truly transformative era in our health care system in changing how we pay for care, in service of better outcomes for patients and lower costs. I would like to give attendees the larger picture, of how we got here and what's happening both at CMS and nationally to try and reverse some of those trends."
Closing HM18, as has become tradition at the annual meeting, will be Robert Wachter, MD, MHM, of the University of California San Francisco, who will focus on the broader changes that must happen as the role of the hospitalist continues to evolve.
"I am going to talk about the changes in the world of hospital care and the importance of the field to innovate," Dr. Wachter said. "To me, there are gravitational forces in the health care world that are making … patients who are in hospitals sicker than they were before. More and more patients are going to be cared for in outpatient settings and at home. We are going start to ... see things like sensors and telemedicine to enable more care outside of the hospital."
Dr. Wachter said hospital medicine must evolve and mature, to continue to prove that hospitalists are indispensable staff members within the hospital.
"That was why the field became the fastest-growing profession in medical history. We can't sit on our laurels. We have to continue to innovate," he said. "Even as the system changes around us, I am confident that we will innovate. My talk will be a pep talk and include reflections on how the world of health care is changing, and what those changes will mean to hospitalists."
As value-based purchasing programs – and the push to pay for value over volume in Medicare and the private sector – continue to become the norm, the expected trend of sicker, more complex patients entering the hospital is already happening, Dr. Goodrich said. She is experiencing it in her own clinical work, which continues in addition to her role at CMS.
"I can confirm from my own personal experience [that] I have absolutely encountered that exact trend," she said. "I feel like every time I go in the hospital, my patients are sicker and more complex. That is the population of patients that hospitalists are dealing with. That's why we are actually in that practice. We enjoy taking care of those types of patients and the challenges they bring, both on a clinical level but I would say also even on a social and economic level."
Dr. Goodrich said that trend will present one of the key challenges hospitalists face in the future, especially as paying for value entails more two-sided risk.
"In a value-based purchasing world, transitioning to payments based on quality and cost is harder because by nature the sicker patients cost more and it is harder to improve their outcomes. They come to you already quite sick," she said. "That's a dilemma that a lot of hospitalists face, wondering 'How is this going to affect me if I am already seeing the sickest of the sick?' "
Dr. Wachter noted that the trend of steering less sick patients to the outpatient setting, as well as other economic factors, would change the nature of hospitalist practice.
"It will be more acuity, more intensity, more complex relationships with your own hospital and often with partner hospitals," he said. "More of the work will be digitally enabled than it would have been five or ten years ago."
Integration of data and technology innovation will be a key to better serving this sicker population, Dr. Wachter predicted. We need "to take much fuller advantage than we have so far of the fact that we are all dealing with digital records and the decision support, the data analytics, the artificial intelligence that we get from our computer systems is pretty puny," he said. "That is partly why physicians don't love their computers so much. They spend huge amounts of time entering data into computers and don't get much useful information out of it."
Dr. Goodrich agreed that this is a challenge.
"How do we make it usable for the average front-line nurse or doctor who didn't go to school to learn how to code and analyze data?" she asked. "How do we get platforms and analytics that are developed using human-centered design principles to make it very understandable and actionable to the front-end clinician, but also to patients and consumers? What is really needed to truly drive improvement is not just access to the data but usability." She added that this problem is directly related to the usability of electronic health records. "That is a significant focus right now for the Office of the National Coordinator [of Health Information Technology] – to move away from just [adopting] EHRs, to promoting interoperability and also the usability aspects that exactly gets to the problems we've identified."
Dr. Wachter also warned that too much data could have a negative impact on the delivery of care.
"One of the challenges we face is continuing to stay alert, not turn our brains off, and become increasingly dependent on the computer to give us information," he said. "How do we avoid the challenges we've already seen from things like alert and alarm fatigue as the computer becomes more robust as an information source. There is always the risk it is going to overwhelm us with too much information, and we are going to fall asleep at the switch. Or when the computer says something that really is not right for a patient, we will not be thinking clearly enough to catch it."
Despite the looming challenges and industry consolidation that are expected, Dr. Wachter doesn't believe there will be any shortage of demand for hospitalists.
"I think in most circumstances, [hospitalists are a protected] profession, given the complexity, the high variations, and the dependence that it still has on seeing the patient, talking to the patient, and talking to multiple consultants," he said. "It's a pretty hard thing to replace with technology. Overall, the job situation is pretty bright."

Mammography is a specific type of breast imaging that uses low-dose x-rays to detect cancer early – before women experience symptoms – when it is most treatable.
Mammography is a form of specialized medical imaging that uses a low-dose X-Ray system to see inside the breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.
Benefits of Mammography
- Endoscopy is generally a very safe and effective tool in the diagnosis and therapy of various gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.
- One of the major advantages of endoscopy is that it is minimally invasive.
- The morbidity and mortality rates of endoscopy are very low.
- High specificity and sensitivity.
Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body.
It is used to help diagnose the causes of pain, swelling and infection in the body's internal organs and to examine a baby in pregnant women and the brain and hips in infants. It's also used to help guide biopsies, diagnose heart conditions, and assess damage after a heart attack.
Ultrasound is safe and painless. Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves the use of a small transducer (probe) and ultrasound gel placed directly on the skin.
Ultrasound is noninvasive, and does not use ionizing radiation.
Benefits of Ultrasound Scans
- Quick and painless.
- Can detect blood flow.
- Gives pregnant women information about their child's growth.
- Does not use radiation.
- Can identify lesions.
A cathlab is an examination room in a hospital or clinic with diagnostic imaging equipment used to visualize the arteries of the heart and the chambers of the heart, and treat any stenosis or abnormality found.
A cathlab is where tests and procedures, including ablation, angiogram, angioplasty and implantation of pacemakers / ICDs, are carried out. Usually the patient will be awake for these procedures.
A cardiac test helps to examine the arteries around the heart in order to find narrowing or blockages that could be causing any symptoms.
Cardiac cathlab is sometimes referred to as an angiogram or arteriogram.
The Cardiologist will view the films and determine the presence or absence of blockages and/ or narrowing.
Benefits of Cathlab
- Decreases complications.
- Safer cardiac outcomes.
- Reduces need for blood transfusions.
- Earlier ambulation of patients.
- Improves patient comfort.
- Earlier discharge of patients.
A CT scan (Computed Tomography) makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-Ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images (virtual "slices") of specific areas of a scanned object. It allows the user to see inside the object without cutting.
CT scan images allow the doctor to look at the inside of the body just as one would look at the inside of a loaf of bread by slicing it. This type of special X-ray, in a sense, takes "pictures" of slices of the body so doctors can look right at the area of interest.
Benefits of CT scans
- Helps determine when surgeries are necessary.
- Reduces the need for exploratory surgeries.
- Improves cancer diagnosis and treatment.
- Reduces the length of hospitalizations.
- Guides treatment of common conditions such as injury, cardiac disease and stroke.
- Improves patient placement into appropriate areas of care, such as intensive care units.
- Allows for rapid acquisition of images.
- Gives a wealth of clear and specific information.
- Gives a view of a large portion of the body.
Interventional Radiology (IR) originated within diagnostic radiology as an invasive diagnostic subspecialty.
IR is now a therapeutic and diagnostic specialty that comprises a wide range of minimally invasive, image-guided therapeutic procedures as well as invasive diagnostic imaging.
"Interventional Radiology" refers to a range of techniques which rely on the use radiological image guidance (X-ray, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography [CT] or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) to precisely target therapy. Most IR treatments are minimally invasive alternatives to open and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
Benefits of INTERVENTION RADIOLOGY
- The imaging techniques allow accurate diagnosis and treatment using cutting-edge equipment.
- Minimally invasive procedures are performed through a small nick in the skin, minimizing the patient's discomfort and recovery time.
- As interventional procedures tend to require only local anesthesia, hospital stays are short, with patients frequently going home the day the procedure is performed.
- The techniques can be used in very sick patients who are unfit for surgery.
- Patients who undergo IR procedures experience less pain during and after the procedure than patients undergoing surgical procedures.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. MRI gives different information about structures in the body. MRI also may show problems that cannot be seen with other imaging methods.
an MRI test, the area of the body being studied is placed inside a special machine that contains a strong magnet.
Pictures from an MRI scan are digital images that can be saved and stored on a computer for more study. The images also can be reviewed remotely, such as in a clinic or an operating room. In some cases, contrast material may be used during the MRI scan to show certain structures more clearly.
Benefits of MRI Scans
- Does not use radiation.
- Better & accurate soft tissue pathological diagnosis.
- Helps diagnose cerebral stroke patients in less than 24 hours.
- Better characterization of pelvic mass lesions.
- Higher resolution & better characterization of ligaments, tendons, menisci & cerebral pathologies.
- Helps to assess nerve roots & spinal cord pathologies.
Endoscopy means looking inside. It typically refers to looking inside the body for medical reasons using an endoscope, an instrument used to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body
An endoscopic examination includes inserting a tube into the patient's esophagus to examine it closely and to take a biopsy of pieces of tissue.
Benefits of Endoscopy
- Endoscopy is generally a very safe and effective tool in the diagnosis and therapy of various gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.
- One of the major advantages of endoscopy is that it is minimally invasive.
- The morbidity and mortality rates of endoscopy are very low.
- High specificity and sensitivity.
- Simple procedure.
- It gives direct visualization to the doctor/surgeon.
- It restores normal anatomy in quick time.
- Provides greatest degree of reassurance to patients.

Tuesday in CE: Reported iPhone 8 Leaks Show Home Button's Demise, Facial Expression Detection
Resourceful tech enthusiasts that can't seem to wait until September to find out what Apple will put in its new iPhone have reportedly uncovered a bunch of new features by breaking down the HomePod's firmware, which runs iOS just like the iPhone. (This isn't quite as bad as hacking HBO to steal Game of Thrones spoilers, but it's close…) Some of the features that have been spotted include a tap to wake function, facial expression and attention detection, and the long-rumored demise of the home button.
According to The Verge, Apple accidentally released the firmware over the weekend, which resulted in a "frenzy of analysis" about previously unknown features. Some developers who've been digging through the firmware have been tweeting about their findings.
Aside from the features they've claimed to uncover, the developers have reportedly determined that the resolution of the iPhone 8 could be a drastic step forward. It's possible, they said, that the visual leap from current-gen iPhones will be as big as when we moved from the original iPhone to the retina display on the iPhone 4.

|[Shared LDAP][Studio] toString() method of ACI items returns invalid string
|Sun, 03 Feb 2008 17:20:14 GMT
Hi, In Studio we use the ACI parser and items in the ACI item editor. We use it the following way: - When reading e.g. the prescriptiveACI attribute from the server we use the ACIItemParser.parse(String) method - Depending on the object tree we show the items in the visual editor - We use the ACIItem.toString() method to show the string representation of the ACI in the source editor - We use the ACIItem.toString() method to get the string representation of the ACI to save it back to the server Now, from the shared-ldap version used in Studio 1.0.1 (0.9.7-SNAPSHOT) to the current trunk/bigbang version the toString() method was changed. For example the toString() method of the UserClass.Name class creates --> name: [cn=abc] but it should be --> name { "cn=abc" } I valunteer for fixing this, because we need a working version for the upcoming shared-ldap release that is used in Studio 1.1.

Any drummers available for a drum cover video?It's pretty much straight forward a simple track. I've already got the guitar videos recorded no just drums and vocals for a full piece playthrough video. Here's the drum and bass track only, all isolated, I can send version with guitars once we start talking. And also, the guitar parts were recorded with low quality so you don't need to have a super fancy cam.

Saints sign rookie CB Robinson to 5-year deal
METAIRIE, La. (AP) – The New Orleans Saints agreed to terms with first-round draft choice Patrick Robinson in time for him to get on the field halfway through the Super Bowl champions' first training camp practice Friday morning.
Robinson got right to work, breaking a couple of passes early in seven-on-seven drills shortly after hitting the field.
"It made me feel good," Robinson said. "I was trying to stay as calm as I could, and that was pretty much it, stay as calm as I could and be focused. Just being there is not enough. I think I have to make plays and start getting on the field more."
Robinson will be trying to find playing time at one of the more talented positions on New Orleans' team. Starting cornerbacks Jabari Greer, who generally matched up one-on-one against opponents' top receivers, and Tracy Porter, who made crucial interceptions in both the NFC Championship and the Super Bowl, both had standout seasons last year.
The 32nd overall selection out of Florida State, Robinson was the last of New Orleans' six draft choices to sign a contract, agreeing to a five-year deal.
Robinson, who came to terms late Thursday night, said he got about two hours sleep before getting up to catch an early flight from Atlanta. He arrived in New Orleans about 8:30 a.m. Friday, and went straight to the team's headquarters to sign the contract and begin practicing.
"I had all my bags packed trying to get ready for camp," Robinson said. "I was trying to get here so I won't be behind, so it was a good thing I got here on time, showed up with the team. I wanted to start on time – get into the playbook.
"I think I picked it up pretty quick. I think it went pretty smooth. I don't think I was as good as I want to be but for the first day it was good."
Coach Sean Payton said he was pleased that Robinson arrived on the first day after most of the first-round picks in his previous four seasons missed practice time before signing a contract.
"I think it would be a lot more common for a guy to miss the first couple of practices," Payton said.
Last year's No. 1 pick, safety Malcolm Jenkins, who played cornerback as a rookie, missed nearly the first two weeks of training camp during contract negotiations.
"Last year I missed the entire first week and when I came in we were getting ready to play Cincinnati (in the preseason opener)," Jenkins said, "so I missed all the experience and knowledge that you get. I think it will be great for him because he can get all these practices in, get all of this experience before we go play the first preseason game in New England (on Aug. 12)."
NOTES: New Orleans released long snapper Clint Gresham, an undrafted free agent from TCU, to make room on the roster for Robinson. … FS Darren Sharper (knee), WRs Marques Colston (knee) and Robert Meachem (toe), and LB Clint Ingram (knee) missed team drills as they remain on the Active/PUP list until they are able to pass a physical. … FB Heath Evans (knee) and DL Jimmy Wilkerson (knee) were held out of the afternoon practice because they are coming back from major knee surgeries. … The Saints moved their afternoon practices Friday and Saturday inside their indoor practice facility as a precaution due to an extreme heat advisory issued by the National Weather Service.

We see a sorrowful picture of two blind men. They were poor, blind, and helpless. Then came a passing opportunity, followed by an earnest prayer. In this prayer they demonstrated boldness, faith and wisdom. There was also present a rebuking crowd along with a willing Saviour, who extended them a gracious offer and granted them a perfect cure. We may by blind ourselves, have a seemingly insurmountable problem, but we too have a willing and compassionate Saviour, if we have called on Him to save us from our sins, that we can take all our needs to as well.
Two Blind Men (Matthew 20:30-34)

What is Prayer? - Episode 8
December 9th, 2019
We need to be committed to prayer. We need to be committed to praising God. How marvelous are the answers to prayer, when we are committed to praying, committed to trusting, and committed to waiting on the Lord for the answer. In this episode are many illustrations of commitment to prayer and the miraculous answers that come as a result of being committed prayers.
Acts # 17: Chapter 15
December 5th, 2019
This chapter records a pivotal event in the early church, confirming that what Jesus accomplished on the cross was the creation of one new body, in which both Jews and Gentiles were to have the same access to God through faith in Jesus Christ and not through obedience to the Law or any aspects of the Law of Moses. At the end of this chapter, Paul and Barnabas have a dispute about whether to take with them John Mark or not since he left them on their first trip. They were unable to resolve this dispute, so Paul took Silas with him and Barnabas took John Mark with him. God used the dispute for good, and now two missionary teams left Antioch instead of one.
What is Prayer? - Episode 7
December 2nd, 2019
We need to learn to live and to pray in the eternal presence of God. The Apostle Paul said "God is above all, and through all, and in you all." We need a good comprehension of the omni-presence of the Lord as we pray and as we go through our life. Someone once referred to this aspect of God, His eternal presence, as the Eternal Now; God is always present, He is always with us, He is always everywhere. Learn to pray and live with the awareness of the eternal presence of God.
Acts # 16: Chapter 14
November 25th, 2019
In ignorance the locals react wrongly to the miracle and oratory skill of Paul. They assume that Paul and Barnabas are gods. Once Paul and Barnabas realize they are about to perform sacrifices for them, they rush into the crowd of people and rent their garments. Paul is stoned and left for dead, then rises up and moves onto the next city. At the end of this episode Paul's missionary polices are reviewed.
Jesus Cares (Revelation 3:8-11)
November 20th, 2019
Jesus Cares! A different take on this passage about the church at Smyrna. We are looking at only practical and applicable truths from this passage we can use and apply to our everyday life. Yes Jesus does care. He cares about our situation, He cares about our trial, He cares about our problems, He cares about our poverty, He cares!
What is Prayer? - Episode 6
November 17th, 2019
Prayer does not try to force God. We are to pray with urgency and anguish, but we are not to pray an impetuous type of pray. We are not to try to force God to answer our prayers. Do we pray to receive the answer to our prayer, or do we pray trying to force an answer from God? How we approach God in prayer matters. We need to approach God as a child does a father as he receives a gift, a child is not very successful when he tries to take the gift from his father. The father is much eager to give the gift when the child is anxiously waiting to receive it and not trying to take it. Are we praying to receive the answer or are we praying to force the answer?
Two Ways (Matthew 7:13-14)
November 12th, 2019
There are two ways man can choose from. The narrow way or the wide way. One leads to blessings and life, and the other leads to destruction and death. One seems easy, tempting, and a short cut to success; the other seems narrow and not as easy. But in reality the narrow way is the easy way; it is the most wonderful and joyous way anyone could ever want to live. We just need to be patient and choose the narrow way, and live a life for Christ, and in Christ; and choose to avoid the wide and tempting way.
Acts # 15: Chapter 13
November 10th, 2019
Luke narrates Paul's first missionary journey with Barnabas and for a time John Mark. This journey started with the calling of the Holy Ghost. This calling was preceded by much prayer and fasting by the Antioch church. The Antioch church was a church of much diversity of race, of culture, of economic status and societal upbringing. Saul is first referred to as Paul in this chapter. At the close of this chapter Paul and Barnabas shake the dust off their feet as a testimony against those who rejected them. The final verse speaks of them being filled with joy as they do the work of the Lord.
What is Prayer? - Episode 5
November 8th, 2019
The disciples asked the Lord to teach them to pray. He said "When ye pray," every Christian must have a when to their prayer life. Prayer must be planned and consistent. You need to have a when to your prayer life. Do you have a when time to your payer life? We all need a when time to our prayer life. Prayer should not be done just in stolen moments of time here and there, haphazardly. We should all have a consistent "when" to our prayer life.

Dr. Bhabha established the BARC Training School to cater to the manpower needs of the expanding atomic energy research and development program. In Bhabhas own words "When Nuclear Energy has been successfully applied for power production in, say a couple of decades from now, India will not have to look abroad for its experts but will find them ready at hand". Dr Bhabha emphasized on self reliance in all the fields of nuclear science and engineering.

Pagabo to launch construction, services frameworks worth £10bn
September 10, 2019 – Pagabo, a procurement consultant based in Humberside in eastern England, is launching the second terms of its National Framework for Professional Services in Construction and Premises (2020) and National Framework for Major Works (2020), together valued at £10.5bn.
The company said that it expects to deliver millions of pounds of social value for communities with support from the two frameworks for which it will issue tenders in September 2019.
Pagabo said that the new frameworks will become active from April 2020. Under the frameworks, partners will be selected through an OJEU-compliant tender process.
Winning contractors will know whether they have secured a place in December 2019.
The Major Works framework, which is open for tender from 9 September 2019, is for projects ranging from £5m and above, and currently includes 12 contractors split across three project value bands and six regions.
The Professional Services framework, which will open for tender from 13 September 2019, is for projects up to £500m and has 15 lots. These include civil, structural and highways engineering, landscaping and building surveying, and building services.
The framework features over 50 providers split across 14 service lots.
The company said that Pagabo frameworks are OJEU-compliant and provide flexibility, competition and choice when it comes to commissioning.
The number of suppliers to be appointed to the frameworks can vary, and Pagabo will manage the process by allowing a maximum number of suppliers on a given value band or geographical lot.
The current Major Works framework, which runs until April, has delivered major projects across the country for several clients, including Liverpool John Moores University, St Albans District Council, Richmond upon Thames College, Merseyside Police, Birmingham Symphony Hall, National Royal Orthopaedic Hospital and Doncaster Council.
Professional Services has delivered projects for Southampton City Council, Anchor 2020, Department of Health, Manchester City Council, Northumberland County Council, Humber Foundation NHS Trust and Leeds Beckett University.
Applications for Major Works and Professional Services will be accepted until 31 October 2019.
Pagabo CEO Simon Toplass said that the frameworks have delivered high double-digit growth year on year since their inception in 2016.
He said: "That growth is expected to continue. We are predicting to more than treble the throughput of projects being delivered by the two frameworks over the next four years.
"Importantly, Pagabo's full suite of eight frameworks has delivered social value of more than £1.5 billion to date – and this continues to be a major focus for the organisation."

June 2012 (Part 1)
By Chris Villanueva, OREXer '11-12
On my observation day, I was in general surgery with Dr. Chong and it was something else. During the meeting, Dr. Harken talked about how oxygen delivery is caused by cardiac output, which is the length and intensity of exercise. This factor helps increase our quality and quantity of life.
After this wonderful lecture, I went into the OR with Charlie, a UCSF medical student and Dr. Chong, who surprisingly was my doctor in Kaiser Hayward. He was going to take out my appendix, but that was ruled out. The first surgery that we saw was an umbilical hernia, where Dr. Chong had his whole finger in his belly. After watching this short surgery, the next patient came in with a right Colectomy. That patient had pre-cancer and they wanted to remove the risk of it growing into a tumor by taking that part of the colon out. I saw as they prepped the patient and most importantly go over the comprehensive surgical checklist. There was the "sign in," which had a list of checkpoints before the patient transferred to the OR bed. The "time out," which was another checklist before the patient is cut. Finally, the "sign out," which was a list of checkpoints before the patient leaves the OR. For this surgery, they used a camera and microscopic instruments to cut and shear the colon without actually cutting her open.
The doctor cut part of the colon out until they finally removed part of the colon with the appendix through her belly button. Honestly, it was worth the six hour observation because it was huge, I thought it was going to be a small portion but it was huge and I got to see the appendix! After they took out the colon with the appendix, Dr. Chong finally came in and performed a reanastomosis. Charlie explained that a reanastomosis is when they connect two tubes together to help heal the colon and resume with proper bowel movement. He also explained that if there is too little colon, then they cannot perform a reanastomosis and as a result, a permanent colostomy bag is required. We would have a non- reanastomosis if there were too much cancer on the colon and we would not be able to connect it to another tube. This was one of my best observation surgeries.

Raby Castle (Raby Castle)
Raby Castle, which does not occupy a defensive position, has been a fortified house since c.1130. The present castle is of one period and was erected by Ralph Neville in the latter part of the fourteenth century. Raby consists of the main house with towers connected by short walls and a large platform surrounded by a another wall. The southwest tower is Joan's Tower or Duke's Tower, the south east Bulmer's Tower has five sides and is of greatstrength. The northeast tower is Mount Raskelf, the northwest tower, Clifford's Tower, and the west, the Watch Tower. The chapel in the east face is of c.1364 - a barbican, now gone, projected from it. The castle was besieged in 1645 when it surrendered to Parliament, and again in 1648 by the Royalists. It was nearly all modernised c.1848 by Henry, Duke of Cleveland. When Barnard Castle was dismantled in 1630, many of the fittings were taken and incorporated at Raby. Bulmers Tower is said to be of 11th century date and to the west, the Octagon Drawing Room and the Dining Room were erected after 1842.

Two of the three days were absolutely glorious - blue skies, blue sea, and sand that was almost too hot to walk on!

The Team behind the three PhoneSats, deployed April 21, have thanked radio amateurs for their response so far and they request further telemetry reports.
They say:
Since the successful deployment of our three PhoneSats on Sunday, we have already received over 200 packets from Amateur Radio operators around the world! We are sincerely grateful for all of your support and would like to thank you for your key contributions in making this technology demonstration a success. The received packets are being processed right now and will be published soon. Please keep sending packets so we can follow the status of the satellites for the complete duration of the technology demonstration.

Research in pigs benefits human health
Dan Columbus and Lee Whittington, Prairie Swine Centre
Awareness of the benefits of using large animal models in human nutrition and health related research has increased. In fact, it has been estimated that as little as 40% of research results obtained from rodent models result in successful human clinical trials; the species are just too different for example in physiology and structure. It is becoming increasingly important that health science researchers identify more appropriate animal models; the pig is one of those more appropriate models. Due to physiological, anatomical, and developmental similarities to humans, researchers have been increasingly identifying the pig as a model of choice for research designed to benefit humans. One of the main benefits of research in pigs is that, unlike with the more traditional rodent models, utilizing a species of agricultural importance has the potential to apply the knowledge gained from the research to both human health sciences and agricultural industry applications.
Those research initiatives that simultaneously advance both agricultural and medical science are referred to as agrimedical research. The dual application of research in humans and agricultural species is not a new concept and research in both fields has historically been advanced through discoveries made in the other. For example, human nutritionists have gained valuable information on nutrient interactions, bioavailability and requirements through work carried out in animals. Research in neonatal pigs has increased our knowledge of interaction between nutrients and muscle growth and development which could lead to nutritional interventions to improve growth and survival of both low-birth weight pigs and human infants.
Recent work performed at the Prairie Swine Centre in collaboration with researchers in the College of Kinesiology to examine the adequacy of dietary calcium recommendations in sows has furthered our understanding of bone development and remodeling which can be used to develop therapies to treat osteoporosis in humans. In the Colleges of Pharmacy and Nutrition, and Medicine, the piglet model has been used to examine the toxicity of intravenous solutions being provided to sick infants. Dr. Gordon Zello, Professor of Nutrition, points out that without animal model studies investigating human health could not be advanced as there are additional ethical issues when conducting studies in vulnerable groups, such as the premature infant. These are just a few examples of how agrimedical research can have a direct benefit to both the pork industry and health sciences.
The Prairie Swine Centre currently works with 14 different groups utilizing the pig as a model from dentistry reconstruction to vaccine development, and toxicology to specialized suture validation. There is a further benefit beyond the intended outcomes of improvement of quality of life in humans, and improved productivity and cost in pork production. That benefit is the improved communication and exposure to diversity of ideas and concepts through collaboration between human and animal scientists. This may someday be seen as a renaissance of bringing diverse sciences back together which have grown apart through technical specialization; it reminds me of a quote "The Best way to predict the Future is to Design it" (source: Buckminster Fuller, architect, author, designer and inventor). The future will be brighter when diverse talents are brought together to solve problems.
By necessity, agrimedical research requires a multidisciplinary collaborative approach. In order to foster collaborations between researchers at Prairie Swine Centre and the University of Saskatchewan Health Sciences, we recently held a symposium on the use of agrimedical models in research. This symposium, organized in collaboration with the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, included presentations from both animal and health science researchers to highlight the importance of pigs for human health research and the benefits of agrimedical models. In response to the symposium, Dr. Kishor Wasan, Professor and Dean of the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, states "The Prairie Swine Centre provides expertise and relevant large animal models for our health science researchers and the ability to access unique facilities, expertise and of course the pigs. This collaboration helps our scientists move their research forward and makes it more cost competitive. In particular we see significant strength in collaborating with Prairie Swine Centre on disease and nutrition research."
Research is a significant investment for both industry and government; therefore, it is increasingly important that research demonstrate benefit to multiple clients, and through that way ensure funding agencies see benefit in continuing to grow their research commitment. Our Mission speaks to our ability to take this trust and support and create value for our stakeholders.
Our Mission
We are a source of innovation – providing solutions through knowledge, helping to build a profitable and sustainable pork industry.

The final decision from the Board of Inquiry confirming the Puhoi to Warkworth toll road was published on 12th September but, what with one thing and another, I'm only now getting round to writing about it. The final report is largely unchanged from the draft version.
Here's a reminder of the route, which runs from Puhoi to a point 2km north of Warkworth:
The toll road will be just 700m shorter than the existing SH1 and reduce travel time to the north of Warkworth by just three minutes compared to the current journey time. Most Warkworth residents will find the new toll road won't be quicker (and in some cases slower) than the existing SH1.
Probably the most perplexing thing about the BOI Report is the complete absence of any consideration of the economic impacts on the community.
Section 8.5 of the report is headed "Economics" and starts off promisingly, but it is only three paragraphs and really just sets the scene for the Board's consideration of economic impacts:
[200] It is necessary to consider the economic impacts of the Project in the context of the Act. These impacts are particularly relevant to the Part 2 assessment that the Board conducts later in this Report.
[201] The purpose of the Act is to promote the sustainable management of natural and physical resources in a manner which enables people and communities to provide for their social, economic and cultural wellbeing (s 5). Under s 7 of the Act it is necessary to have particular regard to certain matters
including the efficient use and development of natural and physical resources.
[202] A number of representations and submissions questioned the adequacy of NZTA's consideration of alternatives. Also questioned were the wisdom of the use of public monies on the motorway Project and whether or not there had been an adequate cost-benefit analysis. These issues are dealt with in another section of this Report.
Regular readers will recall that the toll road hasn't been subject to any economic analysis (even the standard Economic Evaluation Manual), however the Board discusses this in section 10.5, para 374:
[374] One of the difficulties with which these submissions posed the Board is that no expert evidence was called to challenge the economic and cost benefit assumptions on which NZTA's applications were based. Nonetheless, the submissions generally, and the statutory status of "alternatives" in particular, require the Board to deal briefly with these issues.
In comments to the Board, CBT responded by pointing out that "no economic evidence in chief was supplied by the applicant in support of the project, so there was no evidence to challenge." CBT sought an amendment to the report, asking for some commentary from the Board as to why it considers an economic analysis of the Project's impact on the community is not necessary, but none was forthcoming in the final version of the report.
Further on, the Board states in paragraph 379:
…Section 7 "alternatives" in the AEE sets out in detail the process whereby NZTA considered the various options and alternatives open to it.The Board is satisfied that the consideration of alternatives to the proposed route and designations by NZTA was conscientious and comprehensive. Many evaluation criteria were deployed, including a "value for money" criterion.
Again, in comments to the Board, the CBT pointed out the "value for money" criterion on p.144 of the AEE refers to the "ability of the option to be tolled". In this context, "value for money" refers to value for money for the applicant, and not to the value to the community. Value to the community, alongside possible negative economic impacts to the community should be the primary consideration of the Board.
Neither of these and other comments resulted in any changes to the draft report. Instead, in a separate document, the Board notes the following with regard to the CBT and Generation Zero's comments on the draft report in section 1.6
[18] There may, in respect of any proposal, be positive or adverse economic effects. These positive or negative economic effects may impact on entire communities or on individuals. It is also clear law that the financial viability of a proposal is not an appropriate matter for a consent authority to consider.
[19] It was against that background that the Board's Draft Decision contained the various passages which the Campaign for Better Transport and Generation Zero seek to be further justified. But it is not for the Board to scrutinise the economic viability of the Project (regardless of whether the proposed highway is a toll highway or not).
[20] There were many representations from territorial authorities in Northland and transport groups that the Project would bring significant regional economic benefits and cost savings.
[21] Consent authorities and Boards established under the Act are required to make planning judgments which inevitably (as is the case with all decision makers) engage the common sense and life-experience of Board members. The effects of a heavy truck and trailer unit moving slowly up a steep hill, with other traffic stretching out behind it, on fuel consumption and journey times is self evident and need not be a matter for direct evidence.
[22] Whether or not improved highways designed for vehicular transport of goods and private motorists, with the resulting consumption of fuel, is desirable (economically, socially, or otherwise), or whether motor vehicle use should be discouraged and public transport enhanced, are indeed "high policy" matters and cannot properly be dictated or influenced by this Board.
[23] The Board accepts that Mr Pitches' cross-examination of NZTA's Traffic Report as it related to traffic flows in and around Warkworth5 indeed challenged some of the information provided by NZTA. But it was not, in the circumstances, necessary for the Board to make further factual findings beyond those which it did relating to Warkworth traffic generally and the Hill Street intersection in particular.
[24] As stated, the Board has noted the comments of the Campaign for Better Transport and Generation Zero. It is unnecessary, however, for the Board to do anything further. The economic concerns of both organisations were, to the extent that they can be, carefully considered. Those concerns certainly cannot be described as minor or technical.
And that's it. So the Board hasn't considered any evidence about the economic impacts on the community at all, as they set out to do in section 8.5. Instead they conflate the economic viability of the project (which they don't have to consider) with the economic impact on the community (which they do). It is also worth pointing out that the representations referred to in para 20 didn't contain any economic evidence either. The Northland territorial authorities simply asserted that the toll road would be good for Northland's economy.
So, all in all, a disappointing decision that doesn't really address economic impacts on the community, other than accepting the assertions of the applicant which aren't based on any hard economic studies. I'm not an RMA lawyer, but potentially I see this as setting a precedent for all future infrastructure projects whereby economic benefit cost studies need not be supplied at all.
The decision is also in stark contrast to the Basin Bridge decision, which declined the Basin Reserve flyover. In that decision, the Board carefully discusses economic effects in the context of a cost benefit framework. In the consideration of alternatives, the Board appointed its own peer reviewer and found that consideration had been inadequate.
NB: Any appeal would need to be lodged by the 3rd October, however the CBT decided at its last Committee meeting that we will not be pursing this option. The cost and effort would be prohibitive and the result of an appeal would simply direct the Board to reconsider their decision.

3 thoughts on "Silage before the storm: the gambler wins!"
Good news, and a win for the ladies who lunch on their silage! Think i must have a bit of bovine in me, as I quite like the smell of corn silage… Excellent job!
Thanks, Lisa. I love the smell of silage too. Dad used to say it smelled of plum pudding!
What a relief! I tell people it's the biggest decision I make all year. My wife asks If I really need to see five weather forecasts a day as the time approaches. But, the rewards for choosing the right day to mow our grass are enormous. We have just housed the cows for the winter here and the they are lvoing the grass silage we made in perfect weather back in May, saving us a fortune in purchased feeds. I also know that wonderful, self-satisfied feeling of hearing rain in the night – just a few hours after all has been safely gathered in.

My business partner and I had a shop fitting business. Everything was going really well. I couldn't complain about anything really. Financially I thought we weren't doing badly either. My wife and I had the house paid off. We had a bit of a debt on the business. We had a buy/sell agreement for the business and a few life insurance policies to cover any catastrophes. All in all, we were pretty right.
Stephen reviewed our Income Protection Insurance. I had a policy that paid a benefit for 6 years. I thought that would be enough. You can get over almost anything in six years. Stephen insisted that I had to have something that gave me a benefit to age 65. We also took Trauma Insurance to cover outstanding debts.
Less than one year later at the age of 41 disaster struck. I was dirt bike riding as I often did, and off I came. It changed my life forever. I was in hospital for months and then I was at home, with my wife helping to care for me on a day to day basis. I am in a wheel chair with a broken neck. I will never walk again I am told.
Our insurance cover has made a vast difference to our lives. I can not imagine how much worse our situation would have been if I had to cope with the heart breaking adjustment I had to make in my life and also be financially worse off. My wife doesn't work as we have young children, but she would not have been able to continue to work anyway, as I need her help everyday. Maintaining our living standards and paying my medical expenses are not one of my worries. They could have been though.
Stephen recommended other policies that we didn't take, but we are so grateful that he was so insistent that we get what we did. If my wife had been disabled like I am, we would have been much worse off, as she did not have the same insurance cover as I did. We would have lost my income while I nursed her. I now have cover on my wife.
I urge you to consider the worst case scenario. Unless you have a large passive income that comes in regardless of whether you and your partner work or not, I believe adequate insurance cover is essential.
I learnt the painful way, but I urge you to get quality advice from an expert and some one that cares.
Stephen helped fill out the claim forms with us, and advised us on many issues and repercussions. His knowledge of life insurance and the various products available were excellent.
