As the spread of COVID-19 continues, communities are being asked to reduce close contact between people. This is called social distancing, and it's an important and effective way to slow down the spread of this virus.
Because COVID-19 spreads from person to person, reducing the ways people come in close contact with each other is essential. Social distancing means staying home as much as possible and avoiding crowded, public places where close contact with others is likely. This includes shopping centers, movie theaters, stadiums, even large church gatherings. This is why most events and gatherings of more than 10 people have been cancelled, why restaurants and bars are closing, and why many schools have moved to online learning. For essential trips like grocery shopping, the CDC recommends trying to stay at least 6 feet away from others.
COVID-19 can spread from person to person even before symptoms start. So, if someone in your family starts to feel even slightly ill, run down, tired, or achy, it's important to stay home and practice "self isolation." This means limiting contact with others. If more severe symptoms develop, like a fever, cough or shortness of breath, call your doctor. They will let you know if a COVID-19 test is needed, and what the next steps should be. If it is believed someone in your family has COVID-19, quarantine will likely be recommended.
Self-isolation and quarantine both mean you have no contact with the public. However, quarantine is the term used for those who were exposed to a person with COVID-19 but have yet to test positive. These people are asked to stay away from others for 14 days or longer, to make sure they do not spread the virus during this "pre-illness" or incubation period.
Social distancing is an essential way to slow down the spread of COVID-19. And it's important that you follow the social distancing recommendations in your community, whether you're in one of the high-risk groups or not.
With more and more schools closing and people working from home, it may be tempting to get kids together for playdates or sleepovers, or to think that gatherings of more than 10 people are safe. But social distancing only works if we all participate. And slowing down or preventing the spread of the virus will save lives.
The spread of COVID-19 has been rapid and federal, state, and local governments are doing whatever is necessary to protect all of us from getting sick. While most people who become infected will have symptoms similar to a cold or the flu, and children seem less affected by the virus than adults, we all are responsible for protecting those at higher risk. Steps like social distancing may feel like an inconvenience, but it's the best way right now to protect our family, friends, and neighbors who may be vulnerable.
If you are concerned that someone in your family may be at higher risk, you can contact your doctor to discuss what preventative measures may be appropriate for you.
Families are encouraged to stay up to date about this situation as we learn more about how to prevent this virus from spreading in homes and in communities.

A colleague of mine recently flew to another country to attend a sizeable social event, which was meant to be fun. At this particular function, there were many people she knew. At one point, a successful entrepreneur came up to her and started a networking conversation after quick pleasantries that lasted less than a minute.
"Do you happen to know anyone who might be interested in our service?"
"I know you've started to develop contacts in Europe. Did you know that our company has done excellent work overseas?
My colleague told me that she tried to end the conversation as quickly as possible, after being confused as to why the entrepreneur would be bringing up business at a social affair in such a way. There's a time and place for everything, and this place was not the time for networking conversations out of the blue.
Some people think networking is a waste of time and they don't do much of it. Then you have other people who believe that every moment is the right time to be selling.
Networking is an art
The reality is that networking is an art. The reason why my colleague was immediately turned off to the approach by the entrepreneur, despite the fact that she appreciated and liked his work, was because she didn't want to be sold to––particularly at a social function!
Access matters
Networking has to happen in the right place and at the right moment. It's not about meeting just anyone and blathering on about your successes and what you're looking to achieve. It's about getting in front of the right people to provide value to those people and also figure out a win/win.
The right people
My colleague was not one of the right people for the entrepreneur and his industry. She did not have any contacts in that industry, and as the entrepreneur began to pitch his business and successes, my colleague wondered why she was being pitched at a party on a topic and industry she barely knew.
Strategic networking
As I said, there are people out there who believe that networking is a waste of time, and to a certain extent, that's true. The reason for it is simple: people do what the entrepreneur did. They are not strategic about their networking. They talk to people just to talk and then wonder why they come away with nothing. To be successful at networking:
- Be smart about the people you want to speak to and figure out how to get access to them. The reality is that you don't want to talk to everyone about your business. You just want to talk to the right people. A couple of years ago, a piece was written in Harvard Business Review about networking, and a story was related about Davos. The author wrote about an exceptional networker who said that most of what happened in Davos anyone can research or discover for him or herself. However, the most outstanding value of Davos was the access to the right people and the development and deepening of relationships.
- Don't look for quick results in networking. People can become disillusioned with networking because they think they are not getting the results they want. Did the entrepreneur believe that the conversation he had with my colleague would land him a new deal? I think that deep down, he knew that wouldn't happen. The best networking comes from developing solid relationships with the right people that create winning opportunities and situations for both parties. The best networking is indeed a very strategic endeavor.
- Sometimes the best opportunities arise from people that are not your closest supporters. One of the best sales experiences I had was sitting face to face with someone and engaging with someone on a personal level as we came up with ideas. The conversation ended up turning into a significant six-figure deal, but it came from a relationship which was not yet warm. I knew this person a little bit, but there were a freshness and dynamism to the relatively new relationship. Often, it makes sense to consider networking with people with whom you have a more distant relationship.
If you're looking for a new job, chance or to develop your business, I suggest that you do a network audit, but also take the opportunity to think about how you can have the right conversations, with the right people, at the right time and place.

Mike's Favorite Film Scores of 2017
I make it a point to write this article every year because it forces me to listen to film scores. Like the movie poster, the art of film music writing is something that has been slowly deteriorating over the past twenty years. Now, it feels like so many of the scores sound exactly the same. There's always a handful of really good ones, but by and large it all feels homogenized and by-the-book.
I am by no means someone who understands the complexities of music, but I do enjoy a good film score. The really good ones I tend to spot during the film. I'll catch the score doing something interesting and make a mental note of it. But that happens so rarely now, because so many of the scores are underscoring the action rather than working alongside the action. To my point, name me one new movie theme you found yourself humming after you left a theater.
So I do this article to see where the good stuff is. I feel like, if we all individually listened to a bunch of scores on their own, without comparing notes, and then came back and listed our favorite ones, we'd all generally have the same group. And then we each have our own preferences on top of that. I don't fanboy over Michael Giacchino the way others do, while I think Alexandre Desplat is the best working composer today and regularly have at least two of his scores on my list every year.
As I said, I'm no music expert, nor do I claim to know anything about music. I just pick whichever films scores sounded the best to me. Also — scores, not soundtracks. Because, yeah, we get it, Baby Driver had a lot of cool songs on it. That's not a film score.
Anyway, let's get into the picks. Here are my favorite film scores of 2017:
I liked:
25. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Geoff Zanelli — I like these pirate scores, what can I tell you?
24. Wind River, Nick Cave & Warren Ellis — Sure, they're trading on that same sound of theirs, from The Assassination of Jesse James, but I like that sound. This score is more sparse than the others, but it works for the film.
23. Wonder Woman, Rupert Gregson-Williams — It's an epic score on the scale of Gladiator. It's hopeful and uplifting, and that "No Man's Land" track is great.
22. Prevenge, Toydrum — Very nice, electronic-style score. If you liked stuff like The Guest, this has that kind of energy to it. I also appreciate how these underrated movies always seem to have good scores. Maybe all it takes is someone thinking to not do the obvious thing for once.
21. Lady Bird, Jon Brion — Jon Brion is the king of sparing, but memorable music. He did all the early PTA stuff, and I always remember his work in I Heart Huckabees, which has a few tracks I still listen to now. Also, Synecdoche, New York and Eternal Sunshine. His scores are always good, but there's never really enough of them for me to want to put him higher on these lists.
Solid scores:
20. Suburbicon, Alexandre Desplat — It sounds like something out of The Sims, or those oft-parodied 1950s advertisement videos. And it has those dark undertones for the dramatic moments, and some jazzy moments, too. I love it. Desplat, as I always say, is my favorite working composer, and it's rare for him to not have at least one entry on this list (hell, 2014 he had five). There's something about this score in particular that just reminds me of being a kid. Listening to those obvious musical cues in things. One of the tracks, "A Sweet Aroma," with the oboes, just felt like a comedic horror score, like Clue or something. It just feels like all those movies I grew up with in the 90s. I loved it.
19. A Ghost Story, Daniel Hart — This is a very good score. It's very classical, and could almost be the score of a western with a few tweaks. (I'm sure if I listened back, it would sound a lot like Ain't Them Bodies Saints, which he also scored.) I prefer the simpler tracks to the ones that try to add tension or vocals to them. Still, it's very well done.
18. Coco, Michael Giacchino — I'm typically not a big Giacchino fan, even though I know he's the trendy choice for everyone's favorite composer. I tend to really only like his stuff when he's doing Pixar. His Inside Out score was either my #1 or #2 for that year. As was Up. The big budget stuff — ehh. (Really not looking forward to him being our de facto Star Wars composer after Williams is done.) He seems to pull out all the cool tricks when he scores Pixar, and I just respond to them. This one, especially, influenced by Mexican music, just soars. It didn't immediately make me giddy the way Inside Out's score did, but it was very good.
17. Logan, Marco Beltrami — Beltrami was a great choice for this score. He did 3:10 to Yuma with Mangold, and The Wolverine, so they had a working history before this. His scores tend to be more understated than overstated, which helps a movie like this, which is reliant on being a drama and not a superhero movie. So the music grounds you in the drama of the characters. It never overdoes it, and really sets the scenes perfectly. Even the action cues work. I love the "Main Titles" theme. When that harmonica kicks in, providing that Sergio Leone kick — love it. And "El Limo-Nator" — the discordance at the beginning is so wonderful. Huge fan of everything about this movie, including the score.
16. Professor Marston and the Wonder Woman, Tom Howe — This feels like it could have been a Thomas Newman score. I really like it. This is one of those scores I can listen to almost entirely on its own. I like "Elizabeth Is Pregnant" and "Love Me For All My Days" a lot.
Honorable mentions:
15. Good Time, Oneohtrix Point Never — I like scores that do something different. There's been a trend lately of more experimental musicians and engineers coming in to compose, and they tend to be the ones that create scores that sound like nothing else out there. It's like when Trent Reznor started composing and his scores were so wildly different from everyone else's. This is an electronica style score that completely fits the frenetic pace of the film. Definitely one of those offbeat little gems for the year that I appreciate.
14. The Post, John Williams — It's hard not to love a John Williams score. One of the greatest to ever do it. Especially when he works with Spielberg, the results usually turn out well. This one was one I liked, but didn't love. I feel like the score didn't always fit the film. Sometimes it would add a grandeur and a feeling of tension that just wasn't there on screen. But on its own, the music itself is quite good. That final track is pure Williams.
13. Darkest Hour, Dario Marianelli — Every Dario Marianelli/Joe Wright score ends up on this list. Atonement was a top five for that year, Anna Karenina was #3. They're just great. I love what they accomplish together. This score, like the film itself, is very classical, hitting all the right notes and lifting up its subject in a grand way. Can't ask for much more than that.
12. Wonderstruck, Carter Burwell — This just barely missed the top ten. I love this score. Any score with a silent film component is gonna be high on my list regardless. But I love what he does here. The main theme that runs throughout is wonderful. The whole score doesn't quite get it to where I'd want to say I'd put it in my top ten, but when this thing does work best, it's glorious.
11. Dunkirk, Hans Zimmer — Hans Zimmer is also one of those guys who changes it up from film to film. He experiments. He finds interesting ways to bring the themes of the movie into its music. Especially when he's working with Christopher Nolan. That Interstellar score was incredible. And who can forget the Inception score, with the blaring horns that were slowed down versions of Edith Piaf? Here, he takes the tact of slow building tension for the scenes on the beach, because that's what they are — people waiting to be let out of there as the German army is closing in around them. He also uses the ticking clock motif throughout, which is nice. All of the tension and growing horror really help bring a cathartic release once the full orchestra portion of "Home" hits. This is a score building to that big orchestra score, and it's completely worth it all the way.
My Top Ten Film Scores of 2017
10. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Carter Burwell
Carter Burwell is one of those guys I love dearly, who always makes my top ten, yet he never gets the just respect of the Academy. He got his first nomination in 2015! Thankfully this got nominated this year, but that doesn't change the fact that all of these scores were ignored over the years: Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, Fargo, Being John Malkovich, Three Kings, Adaptation, No Country for Old Men, Where the Wild Things Are and True Grit. True Grit especially was not only my #1 for that year, but it's also something I still listen to.
This score is very simple, with shades of the True Grit score, and shades of Hell or High Water. It's one of those that I initially pegged at around 15-20, but I found that I kept listening to it more and more and liking it more and more. It stays with you. It doesn't try to do anything more than it needs to, and it surprises you at how moving it can be.
9. Thor: Ragnarok, Mark Mothersbaugh
I've always loved Mark Mothersbaugh as a composer. Another one of those guys who came from pop music. Dude was the lead singer of DEVO back in the day. Then he got his start on Pee-Wee's Playhouse. And the first films that got him noticed were the Wes Anderson films. Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums. I first got into his stuff on Life Aquatic. I still listen to "Let Me Tell You About My Boat" and "Ned's Theme (Take 1)." He doesn't necessarily work a lot in the big, classy stuff that gets noticed. You look at his output, a lot of the films he's scored are family films. Ones where you wouldn't even notice his contributions most of the time. Here, he really gets to flex his muscles, and deliver a score that stands out as one of the best of the Marvel catalogue (which, admittedly, doesn't say much). The "Ragnarok" theme sounds like something out of an 80s movie. Like the final showdown in Revenge of the Nerds or something. I love it. But aside from the synth-heavy parts, there's also some great orchestral stuff in there too. Though admittedly, it's the synth stuff I came here for. That stuff is awesome. It's the kind of thing that Guardians did to stand out from the pack. And it still works.
8. Murder on the Orient Express, Patrick Doyle
Patrick Doyle is a Scotsman who's been working pretty consistently for the past thirty years, yet rarely gets his proper due. His first film score was, coincidentally, also for Kenneth Branagh in Henry V. And he's done all the Branagh stuff since then. He also did Carlito's Way, A Little Princess, Sense and Sensibility, Donnie Brasco, Gosford Park, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Brave.
Here, though — even while watching the movie I heard this score and went, "Oh man, this should be nominated for an Oscar." It's so great. The first couple tracks in the Middle East are a bit on the nose, but once you get to "The Orient Express," it's just great. Especially those final fifteen seconds. And then it settles into a nice chamber mystery type score. A lot of piano with some backing strings.
Where this score really begins to turn it up a notch is when it gets into "The Armstrong Case," and that theme starts to pervade until the wonderful climax in "Justice," which is just a beautiful piece of music. The theme is also wonderfully expanded upon in "Never Forget," which has the added bonus of having Michelle Pfeiffer sing the lyrics, adding an extra dimension to them that it might otherwise lack with another singer.
7. Blade Runner 2049, Hans Zimmer & Benjamin Wallfisch
Hans Zimmer was the perfect person to do this score. Johann Johannsson was originally gonna do it (he did Prisoners, Sicario and Arrival for Villeneuve), but they replaced him late in the process. (He also essentially got his score cut out of Mother! too, which is a damn shame.) I haven't heard that score, but having heard the Zimmer score, it fits about as well as you can hope for.
Zimmer is good with making booming, atmospheric scores, which is what this universe needs. It starts sparse, with few melodies, and then, as the film progresses, we get closer and closer to the iconic Vangelis score we heard in the original film. That all crescendos with "Sea Wall," which is probably the track that most people would shout out from this score. It's just a great soundscape that really highlights everything the music is about. I'm partial to "Tears in the Rain" myself, but it's all great.
6. The Mountain Between Us, Ramin Djawadi
The one score of the year that probably no one saw coming, because no one saw the movie and it's probably not something you had in your head as one of the more memorable scores. But it is.
Ramin Djawadi is perhaps best known as the guy who composes Westworld and Game of Thrones. He also has a few features under his belt. Nothing overly memorable. The first Iron Man, Clash of the Titans, Safe House, Pacific Rim. This is really his triumph so far (though he does have A Wrinkle in Time coming up pretty soon).
Just listen to the opening track of the score. Immediately you can feel a great, classical film score, evocative of all the big Oscar winners of the past 30 years. It doesn't even sound like the score of a disaster/survival movie. It could be the score of A Beautiful Mind and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. It's also a consistently good score. A lot of scores have 'down' tracks, where they work in the context of the film but aren't really tracks you can listen to. This score doesn't really have those. Maybe like one. It feels cohesive, and each track works completely well on its own. Not that that's a criterion for inclusion on this list. It's just rare for a score to be that way.
5. Star Wars: The Last Jedi, John Williams
It's a John Williams Star Wars score. Was there any doubt this would make the top five? I normally would expect this to be top three, but this was a particularly strong year for scores, so number five it is.
This franchise is one of the few times I want them to incorporate and build off of previously used themes, but only because it's John Williams doing Star Wars.
4. Loving Vincent, Clint Mansell
Most of my favorite working composers are the ones who consistently churn out scores I want to listen to independent of their films. They also tend to be the composers who never get their due respect from all the awards bodies. Clint Mansell is one of those composers. He got recognized for his iconic Requiem for a Dream score, and has since churned out a bunch of great pieces of work. Black Swan was particularly memorable. My personal favorite is The Fountain. A few of those tracks I straight up have on playlists with regular music.
Here, he crafts an immaculate score for an immaculate film. Since the entire film is comprised of hand-drawn paintings — and the story isn't exactly taxing on the brain — you spend most of the time just watching the gorgeous images wash over you and listening to the score. The score is the second most important thing about the film, and man, does it not disappoint. It bears subtle similarities to his previous works, like The Fountain, which drew me in immediately. But it just builds on itself, crescendoing with some beautiful, beautiful pieces of music.
3. Phantom Thread, Jonny Greenwood
Well this was certainly a given, wasn't it? This would have been #1 most years. I love this score. Jonny Greenwood has been delivering really solid work in the Paul Thomas Anderson films for years, and finally comes through with a score that cannot be denied. The three "Phantom Thread" themes are incredible. Even hearing "Phantom Thread III" in the context of the film, it's just overpowering. The "House of Woodcock" theme is incredible. Hell, every track is incredible. What a beautiful coda "For the Hungry Boy" is as well. He probably won't win the Oscar for this score, but man, will it be deserving if he does.
2. Jane, Philip Glass
I don't really watch documentaries. And if I am, I'm probably barely paying attention, because for me, it takes a lot in a nonfiction form to grab my attention. And it takes a lot for me to even notice the music of a documentary. So for me to be actively watching this documentary, and then sit up and go, "Whoa, that's a great score" — that's saying something. I thought long and hard before putting this above Phantom Thread, but in the end, I figured the rankings didn't matter, since all the top three are so far and above the rest that it's all good. What matters are the scores I'm gonna take with me going forward, and these three definitely are the ones for 2017.
Philip Glass is one of those composers who surprisingly works a lot in film. You only really remember the incredible scores, like The Hours. But did you know he scored Leviathan? How about Cassandra's Dream, the Woody Allen movie? Or No Reservations, the Catherine Zeta-Jones/Aaron Eckhart chef movie? He scored Secret Window, for crying out loud. I thought he was one of those guys who worked once every six years and churned out a score like this.
The reason this ended up at number two instead of number three is because he is a classical composer. So the piece of music feels like it could be something you listened to at a symphony and not in a movie. This score is absolutely stunning, and I guarantee you that if you watch this documentary, you will notice the music.
1. The Shape of Water, Alexandre Desplat
And there he is. I told you guys he's my favorite working composer. Took me about thirty seconds of this score over the opening credits to know this was gonna be #1 for the year. It's just so beautiful, and I love how he takes his melodies and adapts them to the story he's telling. He has that sort of whistling/theremin quality here to evoke water, which is just gorgeous. And then there's that sort of Amélie/whimsical French side to the score, which is perfect for Sally Hawkins' character. The melodies here are so wonderful. I can just listen to this score on its own and not even care that it's from this movie. That's why I love Desplat's work so much. I have tracks from at least five of his scores in my regular rotation, that's how much I love his music. And I'm so happy he's (likely) gonna win his second Oscar for this score, which I think is just remarkable work. And if he doesn't win, then I know what is, and it's also a good decision. (Also of note — three of the Best Original Score nominees are in my top five, and the other two are #10 and #11. One of the few years where I completely agree with their choices.)

The drivetime presenter on new flavours, bucket lists and Japanese whiskey.
I am ancient [in response to being asked his age].
I was born and raised in the shadow of the Amatola Mountains in the Eastern Cape.
What I love most about living in Cape Town is the combination of natural beauty and urban edge.
The best restaurant meal I've eaten recently was sashimi with freshly grated wasabi root and 30-year-old single malt Japanese whiskey at Kyoto Garden Sushi.
My (other) favourite restaurants include Chefs Warehouse, Ash, The Shortmarket Club and Punjab Express. I very seldom order the same thing twice in a row. I'm always on the lookout for a new flavour.
I very seldom go away for the weekend. Everything I want and like is on my doorstep. Sea, mountain, restaurants, theatres, my wine cellar, my bookshelves. When I travel, I travel far and long.
I don't have a bucket list; I'm lucky enough to have done pretty much everything I want to do.
The best coffee spot in my area is Organic Zone in Lakeside.
The best walks in my area are the sea walk between Muizenberg and Kalk Bay, and the walk to Elephant's Eye from Silvermine.
The Banting diet makes a great deal of sense for people who are carb-intolerant to drastically reduce the amount of carbohydrates they consume.
My tipple of choice is white wine.
I'm currently reading Andrew Brown's superb journal of being a police reservist, Good Cop, Bad Cop.
On Sundays I do as little as possible, and hope that my sporting teams win.
Money is a means to an end.
Straight after this, I'm trying to understand the future of coalition governments in Gauteng metros.
When I wake up in the middle of the night I pad to the bathroom and then go back to sleep.
One day I'll make a determined effort to understand the theory of general relativity.

I found a couple new blogs to add to the blogroll, and thought you fine people should be alerted to these fabulous new options for entertainment and procrastination.
First, the Cognition and Language Lab blog, which is highly interesting to me, and will presumably be so to all my fellow linguistics geeks as well.
Second, another blog by a Grinnell alumnus, On the Road (again), in which Mark Bourne chronicles his experiences as a trucker. We Grinnellians know how to put our liberal arts education to work, yes we do! He is also keeping a blog about the progress on building his bread oven, which is what the trucking money is going towards with the end goal of having a bread baking business. Mmmm, bread.

If there is one thing the Rays are known for it is starting pitching depth and this season that depth is being tested.
Here is a look at how the rotation will shake out in the near and not-so-near future:
- Tonight: Jake Odorizzi (flu) or Enny Romero if Odorizzi is still sick
- Wednesday: David Price (possibly in his final season with the Rays)
- Thursday: Erik Bedard (was a free agent who couldn't find a big league job 3 weeks ago)
- Friday: Cesar Ramos (was a relief pitcher last week)
- Saturday: Chris Archer
- Sunday: Jake Odorizzi (hopefully)
And here are the injured starting pitchers:
- Matt Moore (out one year, will have Tommy John Surgery)
- Jeremy Hellickson (out until mid-May after elbow surgery)
- Alex Cobb (out 4-6 weeks with oblique strain)
If the Rays do need another starting pitcher, the next two names would likely be Mike Montgomery and Nate Karns. Both are on the 40-man roster and both looked good in their most recent starts.
But that's not very encouraging.

text: Sections View Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Supplementary Content ++ Controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) is a ventilator mode where the respiratory muscles are not contracting, and the ventilator takes full responsibility for inflating the respiratory system. Evidence accumulating over the past two decades has shown that CMV can induce dysfunction of the diaphragm, mainly consisting of atrophy, oxidative stress, and ultrastructural injury, resulting in decreased diaphragmatic contractility. This is called ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD).1 ++ The frequency with which CMV is used cannot be determined with certainty. An international survey revealed that 13% of mechanically ventilated patients receive a neuromuscular blocker for 8% of the total days of ventilator support.2 In these patients, full ventilator support is mandatory. Moreover, it was recently shown that the use of neuromuscular blockers during the first 2 days of ventilator support improves the survival of patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome,3 a finding that may lead to increased use of CMV. Other patient groups not receiving neuromuscular blockers also receive full ventilator support, such as patients with traumatic brain injury, postoperative neurosurgical patients, comatose patients, patients with status epilepticus on barbiturate coma to suppress seizure activity, and so on. Thus, a considerable percentage of ventilated patients are at risk of developing VIDD. ++ The mechanisms of this dysfunction and the clinical relevance for mechanically ventilated patients is the subject of this chapter. ++ The first human evidence for the existence of VIDD came from retrospective analysis of postmortem data obtained in neonates who received ventilatory assistance for 12 days or more immediately before death. This study revealed diffuse diaphragmatic myofiber atrophy (small myofibers with rounded outlines), not present in extradiaphragmatic muscles or diaphragms of infants ventilated for 7 days or less.4 ++ Recently, direct evidence came from studies of brain-dead organ donors (with an intact circulation) who underwent CMV and who developed biopsy-proven atrophy5,6 and decline in the contractility of their diaphragm.6 ++ Atrophy ++ Ventilator-induced atrophy7 is usually measured by the reduction of the cross-sectional area of myocytes in histologic sections. Atrophy has been observed in both slow-twitch and fast-twitch human diaphragmatic fibers and is quite significant (Fig. 43-1), its magnitude amounting to 40% to 50% after quite variable periods of CMV (range: 15 to 276 hours.)5,6,8 Atrophy preferentially affects the diaphragm because it was not observed in the pectoralis major muscle of the same patients.5 The longer the duration of CMV, the greater the observed atrophy (Fig. 43-2).6 ++Figure 43-1Graphic Jump LocationView Full Size|Favorite Figure|Download Slide (.ppt)Atrophy in the human diaphragm after CMV.

As the only French-owned cruise line, luxury megayacht brand Ponant provides all the panache you would expect from la Francaise. The crowd is chic (and mostly French), the décor mixes breezy whites with crystalline accents, and the culinary temptation is constant. The cocktail party atmosphere never ends, even when a ship is heading into the Arctic ice floes.
The Spa: European staff — using French Sothys products — provide top-notch treatments, whether it's a facial or a pedicure or simply an updo in the salon. There's also a hammam (Turkish steam bath) on every ship except the original Le Ponant.
Details: While there are formal dinners every night, the quality of "the basics" is what really creates a feeling of indulgence. Every meal includes as much French butter and cheese as you can handle, and the Champagne and rosé are free-flowing.
Brand Partnerships: Many iconic French luxury brands have partnered with Ponant, so the ineffable French style is reinforced by exquisite details like Laduree macarons at tea and Veuve Clicquot behind the bar. The housekeepers leave a trail of Fragonard room fragrance in their wake.
Polar Expeditions: It's hard to believe that such graceful ships would specialize in breaking through ice to reach the world's extreme zones. Venture to the bridge, where up to five officers might be on duty to navigate rough passages.
Mixed Groups: Personalized experiences are encouraged, so families with young children can go their own way by day, while grandparents can opt for a coach tour. In the evening, the grown-ups meet in the lounge for cocktails while kids go up to the casual restaurant for burgers and fries.
Expeditioners: The Subantarctic and the Orinoco are too remote to have actual port infrastructure, but passengers still get to explore on Zodiac dinghies that can navigate the area (most of these outings are included in the cruise price).
Wi-Fi Has Its Quirks: The system of purchasing wireless access in small, expensive chunks and then having to type a zillion-letter username and password every time you get booted out is frustrating — even worse is not logging out and accidentally squandering 60 euros on unused Wi-Fi. Better to plan on a digital detox.

Australia's mining industry adds about $60 billion to the country's GDP. It is an important industry, both in terms of export revenue as well as OH&S issues. More than most industrial activities, mining is constantly under close scrutiny from all angles over occupational health and safety matters. Although Australia is a leader in workplace safety for the mining industry, the sheer scale of the industry and its activities has its inherent dangers.
Mine ventilation is one such area, which calls for a number of work practices and technologies to be well developed so as to assure the safety of all mining employees. Eximo , which supplies ducting technologies that often form an integral part of an overall ventilation and/or filtration system for mine ventilation, have worked closely with their technical partners to make sure such installations and identified key objectives are implemented.
According to Melissa Phelps, General Manager, Eximo, when designing a mine auxiliary ventilation system, the basic objectives are the sufficient provision of clean air for individuals and equipment, and adequate ventilation for the removal, or dilution of hazardous gases or dust. The quantity of air required, physical restraints present, and other factors should be considered, and taken into account.
The air quantity should be considered in terms of both velocity and volume, the air velocity in the entry or tunnel and the volume of air required for workers, the operation of diesel equipment, the dilution or removal of gases and dust, cooling, and other needs. There are also physical constraints, which demand consideration, which include:
- Head room over haulage or material transport equipment
- Length of duct
- Associated handling and hanging problems
- Potential for damage from blasting and other activities
- Correct sizing of duct and fans to ensure that the fans are not working in a stall
- A larger duct allows for an efficient and lower horsepower system
- Legal and contractual requirements for fans and duct
- Preferred directional airflow
- Suction or blowing
- Acceptable levels of leakage for the determination of duct length
- With leakage occurring at the joints, longer length has less leakage
When evaluating the different types of duct available, there are four broad categories to consider, namely steel, fibreglass, flexible suction and lay-flat.
For suction ducting, steel requires the low initial investment, it is non-flammable, holds high positive and negative pressure, allows medium leakage, is low friction, and is suitable for moderate length ventilation runs (less than 1000m), such as drill and shoot operations, and single use applications.
Fibreglass, the most durable of suction ducting material, is flame resistant, holds up well to abuse, is light-weight, gives high positive and negative pressure, has a low friction factor, and is suitable for short-length ventilation runs (less than 500m), multiple reuse operations, drill and shoot operations and mine development.
While flexible suction has the distinct advantage of being both expandable and contractible in length so that it can be stored in a small area, its weight is dependent on the negative pressure rating. It is also flame-resistant and suitable for starter tunnels, short ventilation runs and flexible connections with other types of duct.
Lay-flat, also of a low initial investment, has a pressure rating dependent on material and construction, has a medium friction factor and low leakage in long length, but requires an additional fan for reversing airflow on OSHA jobs. This technology requires special expertise in applications for booster fans. It is flame resistant, available in many grades, and is suitable for short ventilation runs using low cost duct, long ventilation runs using high-quality long-length ducts and TBM tunnels.
When calculating ducting air pressure losses, losses can be categorised as either dynamic or friction induced. With dynamic losses, the pressure loss in each fitting, inlet and outlet should be calculated separately and is based on the velocity pressure of air at that point in the system, while with friction losses, friction loss curves and formula are used to give the pressure loss due to friction in the duct.

An empire built block by block
When Microsoft shelled out $2.5 billion to buy Minecraft back in 2014, everyone knew why the price was so steep. Minecraft is one of the most popular video games on the planet, a block-building machine that absolutely prints money.
We have new context as to exactly how successful it has been -- all in a relatively short time, too. As part of Minecraft's 10-year anniversary celebration, Microsoft has confirmed it's sitting at 176 million lifetime sales. That's a staggering number. According to this list, it's enough to have passed Tetris as the best-selling game of all-time.
The Tetris thing is tricky, though. Tetris was last reported to have reached 170 lifetime sales, but that was back in 2010. There aren't updated figures to reflect how close Minecraft and Tetris really are. However, 100 million of Tetris' sales came from early mobile devices, so it's plausible that number has grown significantly.
Regardless of the specifics, there's no denying that Minecraft is an absolute juggernaut. The world around Minecraft is only growing too, as Microsoft has plenty of projects in the works -- like the just-announced AR game that's similar to Pokemon Go, the cooperative dungeon-crawling spin-off, and a free browser version. Not bad for a sandbox full of a bunch of blocks.

ChaseCam for GoPro Session 4/5
Available ChaseCam is compatible with GoPro Session 4 and 5 cameras
ChaseCam is designed to record awesome footage of your flights from third person view. It's not an unique product anymore, but it is still an original one, the first of a kind using "shuttlecock" shape. Several clones, which have shown up recently, just proved that this is the right way of paragliding chasecam evolution.
- ChaseCam for GoPro can hold any of GoPro Hero Session 4/5 camera. You don't need to use adhesive mount and risk line tangle between base plate and camera body. Camera is protected inside durable casing.
- Auto balance hanging system (applies to Hero 5 to 7) stabilize chasecam in perfect horizontal position in whole range of flight speed. You don't need to labor which hanging point is the best for your setup.
- Bungee rope has system for quick adjustable length in wide range, so it is suitable for tandem wings as well as for speed glides.
- Flexible bungee rope not only makes footage from chasecam more smooth, it also works as security element. Rarely (every!) chasecam can tangle around wing lines, mostly after massive collapse. Fact, that bungee rope then won't affect lines geometry due to its flexibility is not just comfortable feature, it is essential for your security!
- PPG pilots will also appreciate another advantage of flexible connection. During landing, when chasecam motion decelerates, bungee rope is getting shorter and therefore chasecam will avoid contact with revolving prop. Of course, properly set line length should be obvious.
- Another safety feature, particularly made for proximity speed and PPG flying, is little metal ring, which works as tension fuse. If pilot sharply turn around static obstacle, there is always possibility that chasecam can tangle or stuck there. Tension fuse will open and pilot can safely continue!
- We also took SkyBean to SIV and tested most of non standard situations, like a/symmetric collapses, spiral dives, wingovers and even fullstall. Once paraglider has forward speed, drag produced by chasecam will keep it in save distance.
Physical parameters:
- weight 150 g (without camera)
- dimensions 24x24 cm assembled
- bungee rope length 6m
Package contains:
- ChaseCam head for GoPro camera
- 8 wings with binding lines
- bungee rope
- adhesive hooks&loops mount
- 2 tension fuse rings
- user guide
- sticker
SkyBean ChaseCam can provide high quality service, if everything is correctly set and if it gets some care, like all other gear. This page will help you understand, what are the most important factors for long and problem-less service. Please read user guide to get best from your chasecam.
ChaseCam head is 3D printed by latest photo-polymer technology. Its shape (particularly dedicated versions) is so complicated, that it cannot be molded easily. Material used for producing chasecam heads is called "Durable" by its manufacturer and actually it is very durable, but there are some limitations. In sub zero temperatures material gets more rigid. However all kinds of snow is not problem at all, there is higher possibility of cracks or breaks when chasecam hits rock or solid ice under these conditions. Another extreme, hot weather is not problem. Heated chasecam head is just more elastic.
Despite chasecam head is robust and durable, it cannot be under long term pressure. Therefore always keep white silicone ring on side of head if camera is not inside. When packing after nice flight, your gear desires a good care after its service. For sure you pack your glider with love, so please keep just one rule when packing chasecam. Please use ZERO force when wrapping bungee rope around chasecam's body. Even small force (multiplied by many number of turns) applied to wings is transferred to head and it will surely be deformed. If this unfortunately will occur, don't panic! Take standard hair dryer, heat the head for one minute to achieve plastic state. Head should automatically return into its original shape, evenly you can help it a little.
When assembling, bind chasecam as tight as possible to make it nice symmetric and solid. The good way how to do this is to bind all wings side by side planar on table and bend this setup to desired cone shape just before the last line binding. In this case, be aware to keep the same orientation of wings.
The correct length or bungee rope is essential for nice footage. Good start point of tuning is 1 meter shorter line than last row center line (e.g. C line). Pilot should be at the bottom, not in the middle of the scene. The reason is - If chasecam flies directly behind pilot, it will head to more turbulent air than above and it is also potentially dangerous while PPG flying, due to revolving propeller just after landing. Use 4:3 camera setting (e.g. 1440p).
If there become something wrong with your chasecam, please let us know at email@example.com
Really expensive for what it is
Original product for paragliders and hang-gliders but really expensive for what it is; a nice-to-have toy.
thank you

How Many Pillows on a Bed
Is There Such a Thing as Too Many Pillows?
It's a question that comes up frequently in decor: is it ever possible to have too many pillows? Between shams, bolsters, and lumbar options, the number on a bed can easily add up. While one (maybe two) from the bunch are used to sleep, pillows that add color and pattern are equally important . . . right? Like many things, it comes down to preference. Minimalists favor fewer, but some cannot resist piling them on. Help us put an end to this question for good — how many pillows are too many pillows?

Our hops arrived "prematurely"…that is to say, there was a miscommunication between the Farm and our supplier. The date they were delivered (May 19) was the original date we'd discussed with the supplier last month. However I amended that date and said we'd be looking more like early June. The supplier confirmed that delay and said it'd actually work better for them.
So I contacted the supplier earlier that week to narrow down the timeframe and got the reply, "Your hops are on the way!". Insert multiple expletives, whichever favorites you like as I used them all when I read the email. Long story short they were on the way and nothing we could do about it except get ready for them. As such I made an unscheduled trip to the Farm on that Thursday, taking off time from work, and well…it all worked out ok.
We used the new pallet forks to unload the tractor trailer, along the way realizing a new way to receive large shipments. The driver backed his large trailer up the lower part of our drive and I went down to meet him with the tractor…and tada, it worked! He was safely off our busy road and didn't worry about having to turn around in our upper lot…although a number of drivers with rigs that size have done it before…and we were able to safely and quickly offload the delivery!
We broke down the pallet of our 400 plants and laid them out on the driveway so they could be watered and not sit in layers, thus giving each and every one access to the sun as well. Not but a week later, we realized one of our varieties…the Horizons…which were overgrown when we received them…needed to get transplanted to larger pots to free them up. That confinement in addition to a week of straight sun and no rain, did them in a bit. We got them transplanted and I'm hopeful although they may not do stellar this year, they'll survive just fine when they find their new home in the hopyard.
Following that week of pure sun, we've since then had a super wet Spring and it's causing issues! We have our trailer platform ready to go, however the weight of that trailer and the tractor might be a bit too much for our fields which tend to hold water as it is. I'm headed to the Farm tomorrow (Monday, 6 June) with a pit in my stomach as…
However, no one said Farming was easy or cut and dry…actually totally the opposite so as much Mom would say, "such is life"! We do have some neat "tricks" we're anxious to try including our custom made "hops harpoon" (sounds more dramatic than what it is/does), so I'm certain we'll be having a true "trial by fire" during the month of June!

Reminiscient of traditional cornbread dressing, this casserole variation includes chicken. Pick up a deli-roasted bird if you don't have 3 1/2 cups of chopped chicken on hand. It yields just enough meat for this recipe.
How to Make It
Sauté celery and onion in hot oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat 7 minutes or until vegetables are tender; set aside.
Combine cornbread and poultry seasoning in a large bowl.
Layer half of cornbread mixture on bottom of a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish.
Combine onion mixture, chicken, and next 6 ingredients in a bowl. Spoon mixture evenly over top of cornbread mixture in dish. Top evenly with remaining half of cornbread mixture, and drizzle with butter.
Bake, covered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from oven, and top with cheese. Bake, uncovered, 10 more minutes or until cheese is golden. Garnish, if desired.

CA Abhinaw Kumar
The Honorable Finance Minister, during his Budget speech, spoke about moving towards a non adversarial tax regime which would be in consonance with global policy. In doing so, he has tried to address the concerns of foreign investors by making significant changes to the indirect transfer tax provisions under the Income Tax Act, 1961 (Act).
Taxation on indirect transfer
The existing provisions of section 9 of the Act deals with cases of income which are deemed to accrue or arise in India. Sub-section (1) of the said section creates a legal fiction that certain incomes shall be deemed to accrue or arise in India. Clause (i) of said sub-section (1) provides a set of circumstances in which income accruing or arising, directly or indirectly, is taxable in India. The said clause provides that all income accruing or arising, whether directly or indirectly, through or from any business connection in India, or through or from any property in India, or through or from any asset or source of income in India, or through the transfer of a capital asset situated in India shall be deemed to accrue or arise in India.
In the backdrop of the decision of the Supreme Court in the Vodafone case, the Finance Act 2012, had amended Section 9 of the Act, with a retrospective applicability from April 1, 1962 through introduction of Explanation 5 to section 9(1)(i) of the Act. The Explanation 5 clarified that an asset or capital asset, being any share or interest in a company or entity registered or incorporated outside India shall be deemed to be situated in India if the share or interest derives, directly or indirectly, its value substantially from the assets located in India. The provision was construed to be draconian considering its wide scope and language as well as lack of clarity on what would be considered to be deriving value substantially from Indian assets. Further, the fact that such a substantive provision was implemented retrospectively raised several apprehensions in the minds of the foreign investors regarding stability and predictability of the tax regime in India.
In order to allay fears of foreign investors, an expert committee was formed under the chairmanship of Dr. Parthasarthy Shome (the committee) to examine the provisions related to indirect transfer and provide its recommendations to the Government. The committee published its draft report containing various recommendations relating to the provisions of indirect transfer in October, 2012.
The recommendations of the Expert Committee were considered and a number of recommendations (either in full or with partial modifications) have been accepted for implementation either by way of an amendment of the Act or by way of issuance of a clarificatory circular in due course. In order to give effect to the recommendations, the Finance Act, 2015 has made the following amendments relating to indirect transfer, which is applicable from 1st day of April, 2016:
A. Amendments made under section 9
1. Threshold for applicability of the legal fiction
Accordingly, where the value of Indian assets are below Rs. 10 Crores or 50% of value of total assets of the foreign company or entity, transfer of shares of such company or interest in such entity should not be chargeable to tax in India.
2. Exemption from applicability of the legal fiction
♠ Exemption from applicability of the aforesaid provision has been provided in the following situations
The transferor (individually or alongwith its associated enterprises), at any time in the twelve months preceding the date of transfer, neither holds the right of management or control of such company or entity nor holds share capital or voting power exceeding 5% of the total interest or total share capital or voting power of the foreign company or entity owning shares of Indian company
The transferor (individually or alongwith its associated enterprises), at any time in the twelve months preceding the date of transfer, neither holds the right of management or control of such foreign company or entity nor holds share capital or voting power exceeding 5% of the total share capital or voting power of the company that owns shares of Indian company.
♠ Accordingly, where the transferor of shares does not have right in the management or control of the foreign company or entity whose shares are being transferred and does not hold shares exceeding 5% of total share capital of the direct holding company owning shares of Indian company, no income arising on such transfer should be taxable in India.
3. Taxation of proportionate gains
B. Amendments made under section 47
1. Exemption in case of amalgamation and de-merger
♠ The Act provides that where in case of amalgamation or de-merger, shares of foreign company or entity which derive their value substantially from Indian assets are transferred will not be regarded as transfer provided that:
C. Amendments made under section 285A and 271GA
1. Reporting obligation on the Indian concern and penalty for non Compliance
Further, penalty for non-compliance has been prescribed at 2% of the value of the transactions in respect of failure in case where transaction leads to transfer of management or control rights in such Indian concern (directly or indirectly). In respect of remaining cases not resulting in transfer of management or control rights in the Indian concern, penalty of Rs. 5 Lakhs is leviable.
Taxation on foreign dividend
The extended application of provisions of the Explanation also seemed to widen the tax net, not just to include the income arising out of indirect transfer of shares but also, income accruing or arising from any shares / interest in a foreign company deriving substantial value from assets located in India thereby extending the contours of indirect transfer taxation framework to foreign dividends. This may cause unintended double taxation and would be contrary to the generally accepted principles of source rule as well as the object and purpose of the amendment made by the Finance Act, 2012.
The Board has clarified the issue vide its circular no. 04/2015 dated 26th March, 2015, which is extracted as under:-
"Declaration of dividend by such a foreign company outside India does not have the effect of transfer of any underlying assets located in India. It is therefore, clarified that the dividends declared and paid by a foreign company outside India in respect of shares which derive their value substantially from assets situated in India would not be deemed to be income accruing or arising in India by virtue of the provisions of Explanation 5 to section 9 (1 ) (i) of the Act."
The amendments proposed in the Finance Bill and circular issued thereafter provides substantial clarity on applicability of the provisions related to indirect transfer including foreign dividend income and the proposed provisions substantially rationalize the unreasonable impact of the retrospective amendment made by Finance Act, 2012.

|Rick Lovato and His Father Rick Sr. After ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson In Fountain Hills, AZ
On Monday I received a call from Rick Lovato. "Hey Coach! I got good news". I just signed with the Green Bay Packers and will be playing this coming weekend against the Arizona Cardinals. My comment back to him was, "Way to go Rick. All your hard work has paid off and what a Christmas present!"
I first met Rick Lovato about two years ago when he attended one of my Snappers PRO Development Camps in Fountain Hills, Arizona. Immediately I could tell this young man had NFL potential. But like all college snappers he needed to refine his snapping and blocking technique to NFL standards.
|Rick Lovato at Snappers Camps in Fountain Hills, Arizona
After the January Snappers camp Rick and his father booked a ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson a couple of months later. Over the next two years Rick came to Fountain Hills, AZ or Milwaukee Wisconsin for more ONE on ONE Lessons. Each time I saw Rick he had improved.
|Rick Lovato in Fountain Hills, Working to Improve His Snapping Technique
|Rick Lovato in Milwaukee Wisconsin, Working To Improve His Blocking Technique
In 2015 after Rick's final season game he attended the January PRO Development Camp in Fountain Hills, Arizona which is well attended every year by many College and Free Agent Snappers. Many of these snappers are preparing for Coach Zauner's February College Senior Combine or March Free Agent Combine or their Spring PRO Day.
|Sam Rodgers (Syracuse), Winston Chapman (Mississippi State) and Rick Lovato (Old Dominion)
Rick followed up the PRO Development Camp with more ONE on ONE Snapping Lessons to prepare for the 2015 College Senior Combine. Rick prepared the last two years for this big event because he knew the BEST snappers coming out of this College Senior Combine Showcase Event signed NFL contracts.
|Rick Lovato Making Some Small Adjustments To Take His Game To The Next Level
At the College Senior Combine, Rick turned in an excellent performance. He was one of the five snappers recommended to NFL teams by Coach Zauner.
|Rick Lovato at 2015 College Senior Combine
After the 2015 NFL Draft Rick Lovato signed as a Free Agent with the Chicago Bears. After a couple of pre season games he was released like many other College Free Agents.
Coach Zauner's Programs Are 'A Specialist's Path To PRO Football'
Rick Lovato becomes the 17th Snapper in the past seven years that has made an NFL or CFL roster through Coach Zauner's Programs.

Handy Hint - Spending an extra 15 minutes checking the marking and instruction manuals before you send them to us, and highlighting the text required by the standard, will give you a 50% better chance of receiving your certificate with no further communication required.
As required by Queensland law, we have now uploaded all Certificates for declared articles to the EESS database. There are a couple of FAQs we would like to cover for this system which is now law in Queensland and Tasmania:
1. Can a Certificate holder view/check who has registered as a responsible supplier for their product?
Anyone can search the responsible supplier database to see what certificates have been registered to which supplier.
Search in the "public equipment registration search" section – put in certificate number in the by equipment search section and then click on the magnifying glass icon to start search – that will return the equipment details including the responsible supplier name.
2. When the responsible supplier tries to link the Certificate – Are they linking the whole certificate and any models covered by this certificate or are they just getting one model only?
if the certificate information has been correctly submitted to SAA, the responsible supplier will have the option of ticking a box to register the whole certificate or tick boxes for each profile that has the model(s) that supplier is bringing into the country (so they don't have to register all models on the certificate if they don't want to be linked to models on the certificate they are not bringing into Australia). They can link the whole certificate or just selected profiles for one registration fee. However, adding models from a certificate later will incur an extra fee.
It is important to note that the ERAC website has stated that you do not need to register level 3 equipment until March 1, 2014. As many of our competitors and the NSW regulator have not uploaded their certificates yet and it is unclear when they will do so, we recommend delaying registering products until you absolutely have to, as they may have to extend the compliance date again. You start paying fees to the Queensland Electrical Safety Office as soon as you register a level 3 product.
Please note there has been no fee increase again this year. We have uploaded a revised schedule which spells out the longstanding fee structure on multiple models on the one certificate. You can view the schedule here. Note there is a Chinese language version.
This standard has now been published. Note that the NSW gazette has not yet published this standard, so until they do, we will be forced to continue accepting the previous version for declared article certification. We can use this version of the standard for any non-declared items.
SAA Approvals is accredited by the Joint Accreditation Service of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ) as a third party certification body to issue certificates for electrical equipment that has proven to comply with the safety requirements of the applicable Australian Standard.
SAA Approvals is accepted and gazetted by the New South Wales Fair Trading as a Recognised External Approvals Scheme (REAS) and Queensland Electrical Safety Office as a Recognised External Certification Scheme (RECS).
