Easy to be disappointed if you don't have patience to learn
This is not an easy game. I've driven SCCA on Laguna Seca many times so I know the track in real life racing. At first I could barely make it around at all till I realized that the game was modeling rear wheel spin when I hit the gas to early. I also had to learn that to apply power slowly required tapping on the gas since we don't have pressure sensitive control. I've only played a little but I am testing if the game models aero well. I've not driven the real class of car that the Bentley is but I'm told that if you hit 6 at over 150 in an aero car it sticks. Under 150 it will not until you get down to where mechanical grip will hold it. None of the opponent cars are going through at 150 but I think I have once or twice. It's hard to time where you don't hit one of the guys who are way too slow around that corner. So as you can tell this game requires a lot of thought and finesse. By the way every car reacts differently so you have to learn what works with each one
Good Graphics, Okay Gameplay
The game has great graphics and a good selection of licensed cars (which I will only play games with licensed vehicles) but the driving could be better. The first person view is great, but when driving, you have to turn way too early and brake way too early otherwise you hit the wall. I feel like the game makes it harder and less realistic when turning and braking. I hit the wall ALL the time, and it's not because I'm bad at the game, it's that the game is TOO sensitive! I also have upgraded an Alfa Romeo Mito and the game said it was green, (which means your car is upgraded sufficiently to be competitive in that race) yet I got passed up like I was sitting still! The game also slows you down WAY TOO MUCH when you hit something. The last thing is something that I absolutely HATE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a feature so that you can sell one of your cars and make a little bit of money off of it. (Not as much as we paid for it so that way the car goes down in value and people can't buy a car and then sell it and not lose any money for it.) Also, there used to be a Tesla Model S in this game, but I don't see it ANYWHERE in the car shopping area. I remember it used to be there, but now there's nothing that says Tesla as a car brand ANYWHERE. Thanks!
App is finally back???!!!!
I played this app and loved it over 8 months ago. I had all my favorite cars, lots of achievements, etc. until the app got removed off the App Store! I had to delete the app off my iPad because it took up too much storage and it didn't even work as it said it was removed off the store.
For months after that I tried finding new racing apps but never really FOUND one that I liked as much as I used to like this app, GT racing 2. But just yesterday I was checking it out online and found that people other than me also had problems with it being removed. Today I was looking and clicked the app and it came up on the App Store! I saw that they just had a new update yesterday. I really hope it stays this time! I missed playing this game so much! Now I'm playing on my iPhone and even though I needed to start over, it's still fun!

This incredible world record video includes 164 hand-picked pro and amateur skydivers, 7 planes, and a remarkable hand-in-hand group formation assembled within 75 seconds of free fall. Event co-organizers Jon DeVore and Mike Swanson explain the work before the dive:
Swanson: We call it "walking it" — we build the formation, as it's going to be in the sky, on the ground. We mock up all the people who are going to be in the different planes. We have people called floaters who leave early and float up to the formation, and divers who leave late and dive down to the formation.
DeVore: We do 40- and 50-way dives that would be the base of the formation just to make sure everything is working. It's just a process; if the gears aren't meshing well, you go to the drawing board and rotate people… It's a constant game of moving things around until everything just locks in and works.
And about the dive itself:
DeVore: …We've had communication devices in the past, but what works so well and is also so organic and magical about the whole thing, is that when you're in it and the record hits, there's just this click and this hum and this vibration that goes on where everything's pretty effortless and people aren't struggling.
When you start feeling that, you look around at people across from you and they're smiling and nodding, you know they're not seeing anybody having trouble and they're getting the same thing off you. On this record, when everybody landed they were high-fiving without even having to see video.

This happens because Fortran application doesn't know the length of the strings passed from the C library. EIP - 2015-01-11, HDFFR-1477 o CMake fails to set the full path to the install location on Windows: The configuration file for examples, HDF4_Examples.cmake, must be updated with the correct value by editing the file or using the INSTALLDIR option.. ADB - 2014/02/03 o CMake "make install" fails installing the tools: Use CPack to create an install package. ADB - 2014/02/03 o CMake does not install these man pages: hdf.1, ncdump.1, ncgen.1 AKC/BMR - 2014/02/02 o For Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.10 Yosemite, and 10.11 El Capitan, when compiling with -O2, some xdr functions might cause memory corruption. This happened for GCC, Intel and Clang compilers. Currently, -O0 level optimization is used to avoid this problem. (HDFFR-1318,1327,1358,1425) EIP - 2013/02/05, BMR - 2016/06/24 o On IBM PowerPC 64, hdftest fails when gcc 4.4.6 is used with -O3 optimization level. o When building in AIX systems, if CC is xlc with -qlanglvl=ansi, configure will fail when checking for the jpeglib.h header due to the duplicated macro definition of HAVE_STDLIB_H. This is because some newer builds of the jpeg library have HAVE_STDLIB_H defined in the jconfig.h header file. Without the -qlanglvl=ansi, some older xlc versions (e.g., V7.0) still fail, but newer xlc versions (e.g., V9.0) pass. AKC - 2010/02/17 o When building on Linux/UNIX platforms, the szip shared library files must be in the system library path. This can be done by adding a link to the libsz.* files in the /usr/lib folder or by adding the library location to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Ex. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=path_to_szip_lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH Optionally, one can use the static szip library files by adding '-static' to the CFLAGS environment variable. o Existing data written by an HDF4 Library prior to HDF 4.2r2: When a one-dimensional SDS and a dimension scale have the same name, subsequent accesses to the dimension scale or to the SDS might produce undesired results because the libraries could not distinguish between the two objects. In the case of writing, data might even be corrupted. For example, SDS data might be written to a dimension variable or vice versa. (bugzilla #624) HDF4 Library Releases 4.2r2 and later make a distinction between an SDS and a dimension variable. However, as with older versions, these recent versions are unable to detect such conflicts in files created by earlier releases. It is therefore STRONGLY recommended to check for such name duplication before working with data created with a pre-4.2r2 library. The functions SDgetnumvars_byname and SDnametoindices are provided to help detect such name conflicts and select the correct object to access, respectively; see the HDF Reference Manual entries for further details. FB - 2009/01/26 BMR - revised 2011/06/24 o N-bit compression is not supported with Fortran APIs. o Using both fill-value and compression on SD datasets does not work. o When using PGI compilers, make sure that the JPEG library is also compiled with a PGI C compiler; linking with a JPEG library built with gcc causes JPEG library tests to fail. To bypass the problem: x Set LIBS flag to $PGI_JPEG_INSTALL_DIR/lib/libjpeg.a where $PGI_JPEG_INSTALL_DIR points to the installation directory for the PGI-compiled JPEG library: setenv LIBS $PGI_JPEG_INSTALL_DIR/lib/libjpeg.a x Use the --with-jpeg=$PGI_JPEG_INSTALL_DIR configure flag to configure with the PGI-compiled JPEG library: ./configure --with-jpeg=$PGI_JPEG_INSTALL_DIR --with-zlib.... o In order for the API SDgetdatasize to get the correct compressed size of the data, the dataset needs to be closed (SDendaccess) or read (SDreaddata) after being written and before SDgetdatasize is called.

Four years after he lost his unhinged campaign to block the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins is now expressing dismay that the U.S. military color guard marched in the Washington, D.C., LGBT Pride Parade "alongside half-naked people and drag queens."
Perkins claimed in his radio bulletin today that the color guard's decision to march discriminates against Christians because uniformed soldiers didn't participate in the March for Life.
The problem in D.C.'s gay pride parade wasn't that active duty troops were saluting the flag. The problem was which flag they were saluting. Hello, I'm Tony Perkins with the Family Research Council in Washington. March madness isn't just for basketball! After last week's gay pride parade, it applies to the Obama administration too. For the first time ever, the President authorized an eight-member military honor guard to march alongside half-naked people and drag queens. The move, which Capital Pride Parade called "significant," caps off years of being denied by the prestigious soldiers. Making matter worse, this color guard was provided by the U.S. Military District of Washington, which is reserved for the President, Congress, and other state functions. And while the Pentagon may be willing to bend the rules for this cause, you can bet Christian soldiers wouldn't enjoy the same "exemption" if they wore their uniforms to the March for Life. Unfortunately for today's troops — "equality" is a one-way street, and that street is full of activists.


text: This Is Your Spring Pedicure Color Horoscope 5:36 PM PDT 4/16/2015 by Kathryn Romeyn FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Pedicure Forecast - P 2015 The resident astrologer at Kelly Rowland's go-to nail salon forecasts your perfect pedi color for spring — from Aries to Virgo and every Pisces in between. Some find picking a polish a no-brainer, while some agonize over the decision. At Enamel Diction, the chic Los Angeles nail salon with regulars including Kelly Rowland, Maria Menounos, Tyrese and Adrienne Bailon (5405 W. Pico Blvd., L.A.; 323-900-0355), there's an amazing resident color-astrologer named Rose Theodora on hand to help prescribe the perfect look for your specific sign, by appointment. Armed with your birth date, time and place, Theodora compiles a personalized astrological chart and color chart, showing the hues you should wear in order to manifest certain things like personal power, creativity, communication or balance in relationships. We asked the astrologer to pick out the ideal lacquer for each astrological sign, just in time for your next spring pedicure. Think of it as your nail horoscope.

Is it sprained or is it broken? Torn or rent asunder? Will he or won't he? Will it matter if he won't? Wait ... Someone is planning to play defense in this game? FREEEEENEEEEEEEEEEEEY!
Dwight Freeney twisted his ankle on a pretty pointless attempt to bring down Mark Sanchize in the AFC Championship Game and now the rest of the football world will be held hostage to his every whim and desire. The Colts told Adam Schefter that Freeney has "a third-degree, low basketball sprain," which is great news because he plays football. Adam's interpretation is that this is very serious and it's doubtful he would play effectively on Sunday. Indianapolis coach Jim Caldwell scoffs by saying that Freeney is a "quick healer" and it doesn't matter that he won't practice for two weeks. Peter King says he can't imagine Freeney not playing, unless his ankle is "simply collapsing." Except collapse is exactly what is being suggested by the "torn ligaments" diagnosis. Except an angry reader writes in to point out that all sprained ankles are, by definition, torn ligaments. Except that there are at least three degrees of tearing apparently! Oh man, I could listen to this stuff all week!
If the All-Pro defensive end doesn't play, the Colts are fucked. Unless they aren't! The Saints still have to act as though he might play and Drew Brees hardly ever gets sacked anyway. This will dramatically alter the outcome of Super Bowl ex-ell-eye-vee. But! PEYTON! Slide protections! Screens! GaRHARAHAdFADAH!
Freeney is reportedly sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber with a "stimulation machine" on his bad ankle, which is coincidentally the same method I will employ so that I can still care about this story seven days from now.

Scopus is a citation database from Elsevier that indexes articles from over 22 000 scientific journals and contains more than 69 million records. Across all research fields:
- Mathematics
- Engineering
- Technology
- Social sciences
- Arts and humanities
- Health and medicine
Scopus content also patents, books and conference proceedings.
How can I use Scopus?
As usual, you access specific databases from the Library webbsite for databases at www.hb.se/biblioteket. There are introductory films that will help you get started using the various features quickly:
The focus is on scientific publications such as journal articles and conference paper. A specialty is the ability to follow how the publications are used through citations and reference lists. In the database you also have the opportunity to compare how different journals rank against each other.
The occurrence of nouns varies greatly. The database does not have its own subject list / thesaurus, but reports topics from the different databases from which the items originate. An article may have nouns from different databases.
Scopus also has very good features if you want to analyze its search results. It's also great to search only in the references when searching. Then you put it in search, so you can search for those who have referred to a certain book that are not in the database but can still be found in the references.
The database has a search history, which is good because you can then combine your searches in different ways without rewriting the search terms. The search history is saved from the login time. You can of course log in to the database and save searches, hits lists, etc.

Title:Shannon's Gift: A Story of Love, Loss, and Recovery
Author: Nate Bennett
Genre: Grieving, loss, love story
Publish Date: June 1, 2014
Publisher: Booklogix
Event organized by: Literati Author Services, Inc.
Book Synopsis
In this raw, emotional memoir, Nate Bennett shares the blog he maintained to work through his grief over the sudden loss of his wife Shannon. He is surprised and comforted to discover a vast virtual community of support. His blog posts—alternately poignant and of dry wit—eventually attracted tens of thousands of hits and a following from readers who hadn't known the couple. This unique book gives the reader a window into the starkness of a widower's grieving experience in real time. What comes through in virtually every post is his love for Shannon as he weaves in vignettes from their life together, chronicling their love story and his efforts to recover. And in the end, with the support of his virtual community and the strength he was able to draw from remembering Shannon's wishes for him, he finds love again.

Please tell us about Shannon's illness.
Shannon suffered from mitochondrial disease – or mito as it is known to the victims, friends, and family of those afflicted. A mito patient's mitochondria are not effective at "producing the power" that cells need to function and that organs need to thrive. It is relatively rare; something like 1 in 3,000 are affected by it. Its cause is not well understood, there is no truly effective treatment, and there is no cure. On the other hand, mito is critical to understand because the cellular function that mito patients lose is thought to play a role in an entire constellation of conditions, including ALS, autism, and Parkinson's.
Shannon was diagnosed in her early twenties, around the time that we were married. Her primary concern was whether or not she would pass it on to any children. At the time, she was advised that the greater risk was to her health in carrying a child to term. She was undeterred; we married and had two very healthy boys.
During her 20s and 30s, mito was really on our radar. That approach made sense because there wasn't a treatment that was anything beyond a hope and a prayer – and because the best doctors could tell her was that she either would either (a) experience a slow descent caused by the unavoidable and untreatable cumulative effects of mito; or (b) die of some other natural cause before mito had a chance to hurt her. She did try things that were thought to help, such as co-enzyme Q10 and L-carnatine, but all she could tell they were doing was creating unpleasant side-effects. Mito was out of sight and out of mind.
In her 40s, the signs of mito's impact began to appear. Her vision – never great – got worse. Ocular myopathy, droopy eyelids, etc. She had problems with digestion. She started to have problems chewing and swallowing. She hardly ever complained. What she was was afraid of what she saw coming – an active mind trapped in a body that couldn't function.
She was spared that future by her death. After she and I dropped our youngest at college, she finally underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery as an outpatient. The doctor came to tell me about the success of the procedure and sent me to get the car. Unfortunately, all the years that all of her systems were not being properly "fed" with energy caught up to her. Though she had awoken fine from the procedure, recovery was too much for her and she collapsed while I was driving around to pick her up. She died 11 days later and the blog started.

About the Author
In the fall of 2011, Nate lost his wife of 26 years in a shocking turn of events. She'd just had an outpatient procedure on her shoulder and the doctor sent Nate to get the car to bring her home. In the next few minutes, things went terribly wrong. Shannon collapsed, never to recover. After more than a week in a critical care unit in pursuit of a cure, Nate honored Shannon's wishes and had her life support discontinued and she died shortly later. Nate's book, Shannon's Gift, is the result of the blog Nate kept during Shannon's hospitalization and after her death. Initially, the purpose of the blog was to keep friends and family informed of Shannon's condition. Quickly, though, the blog became Nate's catharsis and a way to stay connected to a web of supporters.
After the sudden loss of his wife, Nate was surprised and comforted to discover a vast virtual community of support. His blog posts – alternately expressing poignancy and dry wit – eventually attracted tens of thousands of readers and a following from people around the world that didn't even know Nate or his wife. The unique book gives the reader a window into the starkness of a widower's grief in real time and a look at how social media has changed grieving in today's world. In the end, with the support of his virtual community and the strength he was able to draw from remembering Shannon's wishes for him, he finds love again.
While Nate is new to the personal memoir genre, he is co-author of two management books, "Riding Shotgun: The Role of the COO" and "Your Career Game: How Game Theory Can Help You Achieve Your Professional Goals." Both are books published by Stanford University Press. Additionally, his research has been published in respected scholarly journals such as the Academy of Management Review, the Academy of Management Journal, Psychological Bulletin, and the Journal of Applied Psychology. He has also published in many widely read resources for managers including the Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek.com and Forbes.com.
Nate Bennett is a professor of the J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University in the summer of 2012. From 1999 to 2012, he was on the faculty of the business school at Georgia Tech, where he most recently held the position of the Catherine W. and Edwin A. Wahlen Professor of Management. From 1999 until 2010, he served as associate dean and then as senior associate dean. Prior to Georgia Tech, he served on the faculty at Louisiana State University. While at LSU, he served at times as the management department's Ph.D. program coordinator, department chair, MBA program director, and associate dean.
Nate holds a BA in sociology, as well as a MA in Social Research from Tulane University. He earned his Ph.D. in Management from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He resides in Atlanta, GA.

The MRC has a strong history of supporting Global Health research, in partnership with other Research Councils and Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), and aligned with global initiatives. The launch of the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) in 2016 has created new opportunities for the Research Councils and researchers to further grow and diversify our contribution.
The MRC, with support from AHRC, BBSRC, ESRC and NERC, now aims to catalyse further change to meet emerging global health challenges by making funding available for Foundation Awards in two areas, responding to aligned global strategies in:
Infections Foundation Awards: Global infections - Vision and strategy
NCDs Foundation Awards: Global Health Science - Beyond Infections
These strategies complement the BBSRC led, and MRC supported, Foundation call in Global Agriculture and Food Systems.
'Foundation Awards' aim to be flexible, moderately sized, short to medium-term investments targeted at novel objectives requiring stimulus, they represent the first phase of a wider MRC and RCUK programme anticipated in Global Health Challenges.
We expect there will be important LMIC health research opportunities which could benefit from the involvement of fields of research normally supported by other Research Councils, for example in social and cultural studies, economics, environmental sciences, food and water, and technology areas. We welcome Foundation award proposals that explore new interdisciplinary opportunities.
Global Challenges Research Fund
The Government Spending Review on 25 November 2015 announced "a new £1.5 billion Global Challenges Fund, to ensure UK science takes the lead in addressing the problems faced by developing countries, whilst developing our ability to deliver cutting-edge research". It operates across a number of partners, including the Research Councils, National Academies, UK Space Agency and HEFCE. The RCUK GCRF represents the largest portion of this Fund and is a strategic fund spanning all seven Research Councils.
The Research Councils have each received directly allocated portions of the GCRF and the MRC, AHRC, BBSRC, ESRC and NERC are drawing on their allocations to support this opportunity. In addition to the funds allocated to Councils, there is a large amount of funding that remains unallocated. The Research Councils and other partners are working towards a strategy for this and further details will be announced as soon as possible.
Funding Available
Five Research Councils are collectively allocating over £40m to GCRF Foundation Awards for health and food security research (AHRC, BBSRC, ESRC, MRC and NERC).
From this, funding will be available in three areas, approximately:
- £19m for Non-Communicable Disease (NCDs) foundation awards (led by MRC)
- £9m for Infection foundation awards (led by MRC)
- £15m for Global Agriculture and Food Systems (led by BBSRC).
Applications can address the challenges in health, infection and food security using any research approach or interdisciplinary approaches. The final Research Council contributions, and level of funding for these three areas, will depend on the quality and importance of proposals received; and the breadth of research approaches.
Funding is available for any activity with potential to rapidly advance novel Global Health discovery and translation research, which is not immediately ready for submission as a standard Project or Programme application. In many new research areas, foundation funding will need to build capability at the same time as building towards new knowledge.
Possible uses of Foundation Awards include but are not limited to the following, innovative approaches are encouraged:
- Early phase discovery and translation research
- Extending scope of existing research to wider global settings
- Population studies, sample/data collection, data integration
- New research tools and techniques
- Development of collaborations, partnerships, teams
- Creating pathways to impact in LMICs
Any LMIC health research that is ready for full scale project or programme funding should continue to be submitted to the MRC Boards and Panels, or the equivalents in other Research Councils as appropriate.
Foundation Awards are expected to vary in scale, as appropriate to the specific needs of each foundation case. The total funding requested is not normally expected to exceed £600k, note this is not a target and smaller requests are expected and welcomed.
Larger requests will exceptionally be considered if clearly justified, for example where extending the research scope requires large population studies or where action across multiple sites is needed in parallel. The Research Councils will look at opportunities for alignment, and may suggest cooperation between Research Organisations. Some applications may be handled separately from the main competition to allow iterative and coordinated development.
Requested costs for UK activities should be 80% of full economic costs and for overseas costs should be 100% of eligible costs (see Guidance for applicants 3.1.5 Overseas Costs).
Requests for modest capital equipment funding will be considered, equipment for LMICs will be prioritised.
Plans to enable early career researchers to apply their research to a global health context are particularly encouraged; however, funding is not available for PhD or masters studentships. Other opportunities for building the next generation of research leaders will follow.
Foundation Awards are expected to be 24 months in duration, starting by 1 April 2017, but support for 18 – 36 months will be considered if justified. Applicants should focus on what can be achieved rapidly as further GCRF funding opportunities are likely to be available before foundation projects end. Critical foundation objectives should be achievable in year 1 of projects, as longer-term GCRF research funding will be made available through MRC and cross-Council initiatives, which are expected to receive applications from 2017 onwards.
MRC standard eligibility criteria will apply (See Guidance for applicants 1. Who can apply). Applications need to be submitted by an eligible UK Research Organisation, with a UK Principal Investigator and all funding will be managed through that organisation.
Investigators may only participate in one outline proposal (across NCDs and Infections) as a Principal Investigator, but may be involved in another application, as a Co-Investigator. Researchers are not expected to be involved in more than two foundation award proposals.
Researchers from LMIC Higher Education Institutions and non-profit research institutions are welcomed as Co-Investigators on proposals.
MRC Units and Institutes can apply for foundation awards to support new areas of research; usual rules for funding grants to MRC Units and Institutes will apply (see guidance for applicants 3.2 costing of applications involving MRC units and institutes and 3.3 university units).
Depending on the level of demand, at the full proposal stage, Research Organisations may be asked to coordinate their response and prioritise submissions within a prescribed maximum. Flexibility in the number of outline proposals submitted is allowable, to encompass a suitable range of foundation options, but applicants are advised to inform their Research Office or equivalent before submitting an outline.
The scope of the scientific opportunity and challenge is set out in the MRC Global NCD and Infections strategies.
Improving health in LMICs will need a broad range of approaches, including wider social, economic, cultural and environmental contexts that affect health, so interdisciplinary proposals are particularly encouraged and these may span Research Council remits.
All applications must:
- Address a research question of relevance to existing or future health needs of Low and / or Middle Income Countries
- Demonstrate a clear vision for a substantial contribution to health research, and either (a) a credible route to developing the research/partnerships, or (b) a plan for testing the feasibility of this vision and allowing go / no go decisions
- Focus on novel internationally competitive research/translation
- Strengthen LMIC / UK partnerships during the course of the project
Applications are also expected where possible to:
- Capitalise on existing LMIC partnership(s)
- Develop capabilities that are sustainable, and where possible have wider value outside the immediate research interests of the partnership. (This can include value to other Research Council interests beyond health).
- Help establish interdisciplinary teams to address the research question
Capacity building, e.g. training, placements, two-way exchanges (within appropriate immigration frameworks), may be an integral part of foundation projects. However, proposals with capacity building as the main objective are not suitable for foundation awards. Other opportunities for building the next generation of research leaders will follow. Requests including support for capacity building must outline how they would complement, but not duplicate, existing investments in capacity building, such as via Doctoral Training Partnerships or Newton Fund investments. Funding for PhD or masters studentships is not available.
Official Development Assistance
All research funded through the GCRF Foundation Awards call will be part of the UK's Official Development Assistance (ODA). Applications must be primarily relevant to near-term or long-term benefits to the health or prosperity of Low or Middle Income Countries. Applications that do not meet this criterion will be rejected.
The OECD Development Assistance Committee's list of Official Development Assistance recipients (available at http://www.oecd.org/dac/stats/daclist.htm) defines the sets of countries whose health needs (individual or collective) are relevant. The research strategies and the approach to partnership and capability development will vary significantly, depending on whether the research is oriented towards / conducted with Middle-income or Low income Countries.
Applicants need to concentrate on ensuring that their proposal promotes the economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective.
Further guidance on ODA definitions and interpretation is available in the OECD factsheet 'Is it ODA?'
Regulation and ethical issues will vary across different countries and should be considered from the outset. The MRC expects grant holders to work within applicable international and local guidelines, and to obtain ethical review in the local country and in the UK.
Outline Proposal
Applicants wishing to make a submission to the NCDs and Infections calls will be required to provide an Outline Proposal to a deadline of 16.00 (GMT+1) on 22 June 2016.
Outline Proposals will be checked and analysed by MRC Head Office, with the support of other Research Councils and will then be assessed by expert panels. Membership will be drawn from relevant Research Council Boards, Oversight Groups and Panels, complemented with additional expertise, including representatives from LMICs, other funders and DfID. There will be two panel meetings; one to review NCD proposals and one to review proposals in the Infections remit.
Given the broad and responsive nature of this call and the new approach that it represents, the aim of the Outline Proposal stage is to provide constructive generic, strategic and practical feedback, to aid applicants build a compelling case for foundation funding, ensure alignment with ODA expectations, and to facilitate coordination to achieve a strong portfolio of awards. No assessment of science quality or feedback on this aspect will be provided at the outline stage. If proposals do not fit with the remit of the scheme, including ODA and project start requirements, then Outline applicants will not be invited to proceed to submit a full proposal. In such cases the decision will be final and will not be open to appeal.
The Outline should be completed using the GCRF Foundation Award Form. Submissions not made using the form will be excluded.
Keywords must be provided and should include the disease areas or infections of focus, the LMIC countries or regions that would benefit and the key research disciplines involved.
The outline form allows a maximum of ten co-investigators and five developing partnerships to be listed. In most cases the numbers of investigators and planned partners is expected to be lower than this, if in exceptional cases numbers are higher only list the leads from each organisation or country. Additional co-investigators and partners can be included at the full proposal stage.
Outline Proposals must be submitted as a word document to email@example.com by 16.00 (GMT+1) on 22 June 2016.
Full Proposal (Je-S Proposal)
Applicants for foundation awards invited to proceed to the full proposal stage should draw on any feedback and generic guidance provided to them on preparing applications, which will include the assessment criteria. Note that limits may apply to proposal numbers per organisation (see Eligibility).
UK Research Organisations intending to transfer funding to overseas organisations will be asked to provide a statement of their financial due diligence and monitoring processes in the full proposal.
Proposals for foundation awards must be submitted via Je-S by 16.00 (GMT+1) on 22 September 2016.
Proposals will be assessed by one or more expert panels that will meet in November 2016. Membership will be drawn from relevant Research Council Boards, Oversight Groups and Panels, complemented where appropriate with additional expertise and representatives from other funders and DfID. Proposals will be reviewed by the panel members and applicants will not have an opportunity to respond to their comments.
Grant start date
All proposals must indicate a start date no later than 1 April 2017 and will be required to start by this date. A convincing timeline must be presented and will form part of the assessment. As no delays to project start dates will be allowable, applicants should be realistic about start up times and only participate in the call if the intended activities can begin on the required schedule.
Grants will be managed according to RCUK and MRC standard terms and conditions. Additional reporting requirements may be required and will be confirmed later.

This Event: May be of interest to the LGBTQ community
Feb. 27th 7:30-9PM at Marquee Theater, Union South
As all of Edo flocks to see the work of the revered painter Hokusai, his daughter O-Ei toils diligently inside his studio. Her masterful portraits, dragons and erotic sketches – sold under the name of her father – are coveted by upper crust Lords and journeyman print makers alike. Shy and reserved in public, in the studio O-Ei is as brash and uninhibited as her father, smoking a pipe while sketching drawings that would make contemporary Japanese ladies blush. But despite this fiercely independent spirit, O-Ei struggles under the domineering influence of her father and is ridiculed for lacking the life experience that she is attempting to portray in her art. Miss Hokusai's bustling Edo (present day Tokyo) is filled with yokai spirits, dragons, and conniving tradesmen, while O-Ei's relationships with her demanding father and blind younger sister provide a powerful emotional underpinning to this sumptuously-animated coming-of-age tale.
LECTURE: Katsushika Oei: More than Miss Hokusai
by Professor Gene Phillips
Mar. 1st 6:15-7PM at Room L140, Elvehjem Building
Katsushika Oei was the daughter and assistant of her father Hokusai, one of the giants of ukiyo- e. We can never know exactly how large a role she played in his prodigious artistic output, but it surely included producing designs that went out under his signature. Of much more interest, however, are the ten prints that bear her own signature and show her personal style as well as the way she adapted to increasing exposure to Western pictorial style. Professor Gene Phillips is a professor from Department of Art History who specializes in Japanese Art.
Mar. 2nd 6-8PM at Wheelhouse Studios, Memorial Union
A traditional Japanese printmaking lesson!
Traditional Japanese printmaking is also known as woodblock printing. This style of printing uses a wooden block that is carved with a design or image. The block is then pressed into one color of ink and then pressed on to paper to create the print. Prints can range from one layer of black ink to multiple layers of colored ink.

Seriously, you couldn't make this up.
Thinking of ways in which robots can be incorporated into everyday life, designers James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau are building carnivorous furniture that's functional and powered by meat. For example, they've created a table that functions the regular way (uh, as something you eat off of) as well as in a technological way (with a built-in digital clock).
(More on TIME.com: When will man become machine? 2045)
Sounds basic enough, but here's where things get a little… odd. The technology is powered by meat. Specifically, mouse meat.
Discovery News explains the process as follows:
"The table baits a mouse up through one oversized leg and to the center of the table, where a trapdoor opens and they fall into a chamber full of microbes which digest the rodent and use the energy to power the table's electronics (presumably the sensor that detects the mouse)."
So think of it as a table-meets-digital-clock-meets-robot-meets-mousetrap.
Apparently the furniture/robot/meat-eater is mostly for entertainment value, though NewsFeed doubts the mice find it so entertaining. (via Discovery News)

Vacation, all I ever wanted, was a pop song by the Go-Go's back in the 80s, but more importantly it's how we feel most of the year. We long to break up the months with faraway destinations and all-inclusive resorts. We daydream, plan and then eagerly count down the days to the next sojourn to the beaches of Limin Hersonissos or cultural tour of Italy.
A road trip to Napa Valley wouldn't be bad either, nor would a week of golfing or exploring the Faneromeni Caves. But what do you do if money makes the world go round' and you're on a shoestring budget? Hunting for sun-kissed deals is the name of the game when it comes to traveling, and there are those out there who probably like the thrill of finding the sale more than getting sand stuck in their swimsuit or looking at Renaissance art. However, for those who like the destination as much as the journey, here a 5 surefire ways to save money when you travel.
It doesn't matter if you're heading to Walt Disney World or planning an international holiday, flights and hotels are cheaper during certain times of the year. The off-season also brings less of a tourist crowd. Try traveling to the Grand Canyon in the summer or the Magic Kingdom over February school break and it feels like rush hour in New York City. Remember: This is what you're taking a vacation from.
Whether you're cruising across legendary Route 66 or doing the Jimmy Buffet drive down coastal Route 1, bring a cooler (or two). When you're traveling by car, it's easy to spend a fortune on meals. Once you start eating breakfast at Denny's and dinner at Applebee's every night, money is going to burn a hole in the pocket of your Bermuda shorts. Stop at local grocery stores and buy all the things you need to prepare a picnic. A little culinary creativity goes a long way in saving money.
One of the biggest dangers facing domestic and international travelers today is identity theft. However, you can protect your personal information when you sign up with an identity theft service like Lifelock. It doesn't matter if you're using your debit card at a hotel, restaurant or gas station, electronic payment systems can be easily compromised. Lifelock will safeguard you against any threat.
Before you put the roof-racks on your car or hook up the trailer, take your automobile to a mechanic and have him give it a thorough once-over. Be sure the fluid levels are topped off. Having the oil replaced and the spark plugs changed will enhance fuel efficiency. Preventative maintenance will keep you safe and save you money. Of course, becoming a member of AAA is highly recommended before you embark on a any trip.
Depending on your personality, there are more unconventional and money-saving accommodation styles available across the world than ever before. House swapping has become popular. However, other Internet networks like CouchSurfing and the Evergreen Bed and Breakfast Club (for people over 50) cater to a free spirited, European hostel type of crowd. It's not for everyone, but it's certainly a way to meet new people and save money.
When it comes to traveling on a shoestring budget, there are a million creative ways to cut corners. However, just remember not to cut all the joy out of your holiday. You can always compensate for that day or two of splurging once you get back home.

text: I have the electrician installing the NEMA 14-50 with 40 amp service/50 amp breaker in the coming weeks. My thinking is...just in case at some point in the future I want to add the dual charger and wall connector I would have him use the larger wire and conduit to satisfy 80 amp service/100 amp breaker. The run is short so the difference in cost is negligible. Question becomes does it make sense for me to go ahead and get the wall connector and have it installed even if the dual charger is not. Best I can tell it will still provide the 40 amp service it would just be permanent on the wall and then keep the other connector that comes with the car in the car. Thoughts?

I have been reading Elle Decoration for years. I've always gravitated toward the UK based mag more than its US counterpart. The reason was the styling was always so on point. The rich tones and the way that everything was put together always spoke to my own personal style. I was equally drawn to the work of Interior Stylist Sania Pell for the same reasons. Well lo and behold, she's been a contributing stylist to Elle Decoration for 14 years! In addition to her styling work, she's also an artist and sell paintings and ink drawings through her shop.

Thank You Design Sponge
So, yesterday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Design Sponge had a absolutely wonderful post honoring 40 Black Artist, Designers, Chefs and Entrepreneurs. What's really so great about this list is not that they compiled it, but that these are individuals that Design Sponge has featured in previous posts. I've noticed over the past year, the amount of thoughtfulness and diversity that Design Sponge has brought to its website. An excerpt from the article:
Over the past few years I've spent a lot of time thinking about equality, visibility and inclusiveness. They unfortunately were not topics I thought about much at the beginning of Design*Sponge, but those ideas are first and foremost in my mind at all times now. And while a design blog may not be the first place someone expects to talk about justice and equality — for me, those topics are central to everything we do here.
"Home" is an idea I took for granted for far too long. I took for granted that everyone had a home where they felt safe, and that beyond that, a home where they felt welcomed and represented. For too long, I didn't focus on creating an online home here at Design*Sponge that represented and celebrated everyone in our creative community, a home that would make all of us reading and talking feel welcomed. And while I regret that it took me so many years to realize how crucial this mission should have been, I am happy that we're now invested as a team in creating an online space where everyone reading can see themselves in the homes, artwork, projects and stories we share here.
This for me, is huge! Not to mention the fact that I recognize many of the names and know some personally. Congratulations to all who are featured and Thank you Design Sponge for your contribution to truly creating a space where we all feel welcome!

in: Poetics, Vol. 40, Issue 2, April 2012, co-authored with Monika Krause, pdf
The discussion in the sociology of science about the role of model systems in biology provides an invitation to reflect on whether and how they operate in sociology in comparison to other disciplines. This paper shows that sociology too relies on objects of study that receive a disproportionate amount of attention and implicitly come to stand in for a specific class of objects. But, unlike other disciplines, sociology has no agreed language or theory to classify the discipline-specific objects that it studies, which hinders explicit reflection on the use of model systems across sociological subfields. The subfield of sociological theory uses model systems, but its specimens are not sociological objects. In contrast to other disciplines, which use model systems, specimens of sociological model systems usually do not travel. Because of this, the relationship between specimen and epistemic object is less standardised in sociology than in other disciplines. Sociology also encounters unique problems of access to model systems.

2013 Yeti ASR5 Review
I'm now one of those guys with the branded Hoody & hat that may not want to currently talk to you about any other bike brand.
So let me dispel a myth about it...
More travel does not make a bike better, or make you a better rider, it's just not true. So when people say "why didn't you get a 575" or "The SB66 is better" I'd say because I didn't want one or no it's not? This would usually be accompanied by a grunt & the assertion that this point of view was incontestable. It seems like a strange point to start a bike review with, but it's been bugging the hell out of me ever since I bought my own bike.
Well, I'm here to tell everyone that this is the reason that bike companies have a RANGE of bikes, a choice if you will, so that the consumer can choose a weapon for their own personal war of wheels. The facts are, I'm a fairly hard rider, well past the 5ft drop-off days & would like to carry the least weight possible for a hard wearing trail bike with a fairly slack head angle, so the ASR5 was the one for me.
Below is the freshly built bike in December 2012
So if you see me around please don't ask. (You'll know me because I'll be the guy that will most likely have a Yeti tattoo on his forehead sometime in the future)
So what do I think of it so far? Well its coming up for 3 months & in all seriousness it's fair to say that over this period, this is the bike I have spent more time on that any other one over the last decade. It just begs to be ridden & ridden & ridden...
There are a few wee things that I've found so far that are a bit of a niggle. The first is a direct result of Yeti's own design & it's the BB height. It's not exactly huge & has a real effect on ground clearance, but I should say that I'm just about past the point where it is a real problem. As with anything you use that's initially unfamiliar, you eventually end up making unconscious decisions and developing techniques to compensate for differences without really knowing you're doing it. I now definitely pedal a little differently & watch the trail more closely, as when I first got the bike I had a significant amount of crank arm & pedal strikes that seem to have all but disappeared now. All this whilst running a 2x10 gear setup too; personally, I can't imagine having a triple on it to be honest, I think I'd have destroyed it by now.
This does seem like it may develop further by the fact that I'm running a 140mm fork too. For the most part, the bike is great with this fork, but at the next service interval I'll have the legs upgraded to Kashima and if possible, the travel reduced to 130mm, tightening up the head angle & fork rake a bit, but of course, this will have a further small effect on the ground clearance too; But hey, you can't win them all & everyone who has ever built a custom bike of any sort knows that it's never really finished! I'll deal with it when the time comes.
So another small change is the dropper post. I started with a Specialized Command post, but after a short while & a few services I just couldn't get on with it, so off it went & a shiny Rockshox Reverb was plumbed into the gap. I haven't had a chance to give the Reverb a real spanking, but already in operation its smoother, the lever is more ergonomic & the operation in general seems less hassle. I never really thought however that one day in my long cycling career that I'd have to end up having to bleed a seatpost! (I didn't do it, Dougie did)
The freshly applied Rockshox Reverb dropper post
Hydraulic lever: You can't beat the feel of fluid at your finger!
Some very thick Lizard Skins grips & some EC 70 carbon bars aside, everything else is still how I put it together in December. At the end of the day & as a sum of its parts, it amounts to a being Yeti ASR5 & that's what everyone wants to know about, so here we go in as small a nutshell as I can crack!
Here's what I love about it:
- It's fast. You can feel the carbon rear end really digging in when you accelerate & coupled with a decent wheel & a 12mm/142mm rear hub/axle combo, there's no worry at the rear with flex or traction. With the front end being reduced to 130mm, I'm looking forward to improving the climbing performance too.
- Stiffness is not an issue at the front either. I can definitely feel the difference between this & my Stumpjumper FSR which also had a tapered 1.1/8-1.5 headset & a tasty set of Easton carbon bars & a 15mm bolt through front axle just finish off the tracking on the front end too.
It's light. At just **** with some Clydesdale equipment on it, I think it could be trimmed down another few pounds and still be hardy enough to be thrown around all the trails that I frequent for sure.
It looks amazing. No elaboration required.
Its' a Yeti & I've always wanted a Yeti. No elaboration required
So having actually met my hero, do I have any reservations or regrets?
No, not really, though some ongoing concerns & it's all to do with the head angle/bb height. Now I have this ok at the minute having adapted my pedalling & choosing to run my front end at 140mm. The combined result of the fork travel & inherent slack head tube is that it doesn't do heavy climbs very well. It will chase along the fire road or blast up the switchbacks with relative ease, but should the gradient become too severe, then it starts to wheelie & breaks front traction too easily. I've found this to be a real pain & a little embarrassing sometimes, perhaps having to dismount a few times before a collapse in a heap.
Like I said above I'll deal with this ongoing & it's not something that besmirches the bike overall, just a bit of a niggle that I only really think about on the odd steep climb.
It seems like Yeti want to keep their legendary "outside the box" hardcore image whilst producing as close to an XC bike as it will allow them & the ASR range is it. The ASR & the ASR5 share the same head angle & I can't help thinking it's just a wee bit too slack for this type of bike, however if it was tweaked for the XC set, it would most likely take a lot away from the way this bike slices through high speed singletrack & downhill trails. At least for now, I'd rather put up with all the niggles and keep the singletrack/trail performance whilst chipping away at all the settings & angles as I grow into the bike.
As it looks now with new dropper post & handlebars:
The last time I remember a bike that made me want to ride so much was in the late 90's when I got my first suspension bike; a Rocky Mountain Element, which in no time had me dropping steeper, jumping higher & taking bigger risks than I ever had on a bike, but then I was about 28 years old & as soon as a straddled a bike, I didn't care much for my own mortality.
Those days are gone for sure, but there's something about finally having a Yeti that just makes me want to look at it, ride it & continuously reassure myself that I actually own one.
More on the ASR5 as the season progresses.

../Black Tea/Darjeeling Phuguri FTGFOP1
Darjeeling Phuguri FTGFOP1
This magnificent plantation produces both first and second flush teas of outstanding quality. The bushes flush during the month of April with juicy young leaves and the magic begins with the tender touch of the lady pluckers. The local weather has generous rainfall, cool temperature and cloudy sky, broken by bright sunshine. All these factors contribute to producing slow growing conditions that are ideal for the fine fragrance of the tea.
"Two leaves and a Bud" are taken with care, attention and love. These leaves are processed carefully with a traditional 100 year old expertise. The heavenly aroma of this particular Darjeeling ligers long in the mouth. This tea has a beautiful appearance with many silver tips. It has a fresh, flowery spring flavour with a spicy, sweet body and aroma. The infusion is a beautiful bright orange.

Public funding
Public Enemy have received enough money from fans to record their new album, after pitching up on Sellaband trying to get their supporters to donate money.
PE, once upon a time the biggest, baddest voice in hip-hop, have been reduced to this odd method of funding an album, and even had to lower their target sum from around £200,000 ($250,000) to only £51,000 after a long, slow period of fund raising. You can see just how long here; the scheme was first put in place well over a year ago, and hasn't had much in the way of luck since then.
'We just received word that our fundraising campaign has completed,' the band said. 'This is truly a great moment for us and we owe it all to our fams on Sellaband– our true 'Believers'.
'It has been a long and winding road. We've had explosive starts, media attention, corporate troubles, media criticism, recalculations and finally resurgence. When its all said and done, the bottom line is that we never lost faith in ourselves, our fams and the future of fan funding as a model.

Is there any significance to the title screen in The Last Of Us? Is it a location that you ever encounter in the game? I don't remember seeing it.
I know that it changes subtly after beating the game, when Ellie's switchblade appears on the window sill. This makes me think that the window sill might be in the place where the surviving character(s) are heading at the game's conclusion.

Excessive Residential Fire Alarm Ordinance on Tuesday City Council Agenda
Casper residents with faulty security systems in their homes may soon have to pay for excessive false fire alarms.
Under an ordinance outlined in the Casper City Council agenda for Tuesday, homeowners that pay an annual $10 security system registration fee to the city will be forced to pay a $100 fine the third and each subsequent false fire alarm that requires a response from Casper Fire-EMS.
Under the proposed ordinance, registered homes will be given two free false alarms each year. Homeowners that aren't registered with the city, however, will be subject to the $100 fine upon first offense.
According to the council packet, fire officials are hoping the ordinance will cut down on the number of so-called "nuisance reports" that are fielded each year by the fire department.
Casper City Council will review the ordinance for the first time Tuesday night. Council will have to pass three readings of the ordinance before it can be adopted.
The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Casper City Hall.

Selling My Book
There is such a need in the Church today for Christian women to hear the message of loving their husbands and being submissive to them. They need to learn how to discipline, train, and raise their children while being keepers at home. The skills of keeping a clean and tidy home have been lost on this generation of women. Modesty is not a word many women in the Church are aware of these days. Few know what being discreet, chaste, sober, and good even look like anymore since they are not being modeled it by their mothers or taught it by older women in the church.
Women are buying my book for their daughters who are grown up and have failed to teach them godly womanhood or for friends in their church whose marriages are failing. One woman who has read my book told me this about it: "I'm definitely going to want a few more. It is soooo good, Lori. If I can find some others, I'm thinking I would like to have a book study with it. If not, I at least want some extras for when that time comes that I think someone might be open to it. As I'm reading it, I can't help but wish that I would have had a book like this while I struggled in my first marriage. Of course, it would have even been better if I would have had that older Titus 2 woman speaking truth to me also. Much of what you write is very much like what was going on in my first marriage. I even had the four children, although I was quite a bit younger and the kids were born within four years. I have such high hopes for this book, and believe God was in on your post becoming viral. Thank you for never backing down and continuing to speak the truth."
Shannon wrote, "This would be the perfect book for a young wife and mother, although I am hardly a newlywed and I still benefited from it. It covers everything from Biblical submission, how to raise children with a joyful heart, cooking healthy meals (recipes included!), natural cleaning products (more recipes included!), and many tips for how to manage your home. I've been a faithful blog follower for years but it's still nice to have it all written down in one place, without having to find a computer. Truly great book and I'd definitely recommend it!!"
Kim's review on Amazon: "Lori is a woman who speaks God's truth. I bought this book and I am on my second time through. If you are a woman who desires to honor God in your role as a wife, read and apply the wisdom in this book."
Are there women in your life who you know need the message of Titus 2:3-5? If there are, can you be bold enough to give them this book for Christmas, bridal showers, or even for a wedding gift? I just gave this to a bride this past weekend as a gift. If any of you would like to buy my book, I am going to offer it for $12 with free shipping for the next two weeks (offer only good for US). The Post Office will be packed out for Christmas after that time!
Here are a few pictures of the inside of the book!
If you know some women in your life who can benefit from reading my book, then just send $12 to my email address firstname.lastname@example.com at PayPal (offer good for US only). Make sure to include your address and email address in the note section of Paypal. Also, let me know if you would like me to sign it. You can buy the book on kindle for $7.49. Thank you!
The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Titus 2:3-5

Playmaker are a four piece band with a classic line up of bass, drums, two guitars and two vocals. They mix tunes with power chords and deliver with exactly the right amount of attitude to create an eclectic sound, which is both unique and instantly addictive. Originally from all four points of the English compass, Playmaker are now based in London, where they have built up a strong reputation for their live performances.
The band have previously released their 'Arizona' single through small Indie label Pale Fox – it topped the Storm Radio listeners chart for 5 weeks running. It was also played by Steve Lamacq and Clare Sturgess on XFM. On hearing the single, Crowded House manager Grant Thomas immediately licensed the single via Pale Fox for release in Australia on his Indie label Little Big Music. The video for Arizona, featuring the band playing in a battered caravan was directed by Jon Harris (editor of Snatch and Layer Cake).
In March 2011 Playmaker toured China playing six dates, three in Beijing and three in Qingdao on the East coast. They were the first ever British band to play in Qingdao, headlining the Qingdao Max Festival in front of 2000 people.
Their Chinese adventure made such an impression they have been invited back every year since to play more festivals.
After releasing a single and EP and with some new tracks recorded, Playmaker decided in 2013 to release a debut album – "Lucky Bag". Playmaker turned to Kickstarter to fund the project and passed their target of £1700. The album was released in March 2013.
Their new single, The Girl Who Thought She Could Fly, was released this July and the album of the same name will be released Spring 2015.
