Emergency service stress affects you, your pet, AND your vet
Ever get up in the middle of the night to the distinctive sound of Fido retching uncontrollably in a corner? Or to piles of bloody stool dappled across the bedroom floor? How about the invariably alarming midnight seizure? You're not alone. It happens to us all at some point.
Next thing you know you're driving, bleary-eyed and panicky, into the streets with sick pet in tow in search of your friendly neighborhood emergency hospital—which in too many cases is neither friendly nor remotely in your neighborhood.
If you're lucky, perhaps your own vet keeps a beeper or an on site emergency service. With the advent of large-scale emergency hospitals and specialty clinics, however, this homier scenario has become progressively less likely. When you call your vet in 2006, chances are you'll be redirected to the nearest 24-hour facility.
You'll stumble in through its doors, carrying a meowling, bleeding Fluffy, only to be told by the surly woman working hard to keep her three jobs that the doctor is in surgery so you'll have to wait 30 minutes. (I drove like a maniac for this? Who does surgery at three AM anyway?) If you'd only arrived earlier, you muse…but then you might have been the fourth in line for the doctor's attention.
After twenty minutes you're starting to think your time would have been better spent at the Dunkin Donuts purchasing a box of bribes. Finally…the doctor will see you now. Seemingly competent and surprisingly alert, the vet expertly sutures up Fluffy`s wound and returns her to you in exchange for six hundred dollars of your cash. You're shocked, but then…who else was going to fix Fluffy at 4 AM?
A few hours later, at approximately 8 AM, you spy blood on your tile. A trail leads directly to Fluffy`s favorite sleeping spot where you notice her violently pulling at her stitches with her teeth. Now it's time to load up again and drive to your regular vet who will doubtless feel slightly responsible for your having spent $600 on something he would have done for $150 had you waited four more hours.
Now take care—I'm not advocating you ever delay seeking medical attention in order to see your own vet, just know that, on average, you will pay 100 to 200% more at most emergency hospitals. Why else would anyone work those hours if not to be paid a premium for his or her services?
What inevitably happens at these facilities, however, is that explanation and option presentation takes a backseat to expediency and defensive medicine (especially at 3AM or on any given Sunday). This means that 1- the vet will typically offer only exactly what she thinks is best for your pet and 2-the best medicine is also the medicine that searches tirelessly for problems so as to ward of any lawyers that may ask: And why, Dr. X, did you not take an X-ray of Fluffy`s lacerated paw? Consequently, panels of bloodwork, X-rays, and plenty of medications are always administered (this is clearly a worthy subject for another post).
Pet owners are almost always provided an estimate before any service is rendered (beyond the basic exam). And most will gasp. But they won't always grasp the inherent element of choice in declining any of the products or procedures on the itemized list. They just want Fluffy fixed. If they have the money it will usually get spent.
For the record, should the estimate appear unusually high, there are four possibilities: 1-your pet is very sick and needs lots of care, 2-you have no earthly idea what things are supposed to cost, 3-the hospital is running up the bill (because the vet wants to or because the vet is under pressure to do so) or 4-because they're being expedient and/or defensive (see above).
Nonetheless, every client has the right to ask to speak to the vet about the costs and to attempt to ascertain whether certain tests and procedures are absolutely necessary. That may be impossible without extensive knowledge, and I wouldn't expect most clients to be that savvy, but it helps to let the staff and the vet know that while you respect them, and you still want everything possible done for your pet, money is indeed an issue. My advice? Kill `em with sugar but stay firm and you're doing the best you can for your charge in these trying situations. I know it's hard.
The stressful part of all this for me, the general practitioner, is that I know Fluffy. I know that she needed X when she received Y. I know that she didn't need those two extra tests. Furthermore, I have a vested interest in being judicious about spending your money.
It irks me, too, to see you pay so much—not just because were it not after hours that income would have been mine, and not just because now you have nothing left over to spend on resuturing her (when they should have sent you home with an e-collar), but mostly because I know you and I feel frustrated on your behalf.
Moreover, whenever I send you elsewhere, that elsewhere is a reflection of me and the quality of my recommendations. It sucks when they f--- up or charge you four times more for what may turn out to be a lower quality of service. (Truthfully, I can say that—in my area—this happens about 25% of the time—maybe you`re luckier.)
But that's the breaks guys. Unless I suit up and head out with my bagged dinner at 7 PM, I'm in not a great position to complain. I do anyway, but only when the damage is egregious. That's why I still give out my cell phone number. I won't usually get out of bed, but I will call to make sure Fluffy isn't X-rayed for her superficial laceration.

AEDES DE VENUSTAS honors the past, present and future of perfumery with its first signature scent. Housed in aubergine glass the bottle disrupts classic rules of design with its round and square shape, hinting at the unique construction of the fragrance housed within its body. The circumference of the cap is uniquely positioned and adorned with the AEDES insignia.A baroque yet futuristic ambience emanates from the skin as soon as the fragrance is applied, embodying the magic that is the AEDES DE VENUSTAS boutique.The mind questions, but the heart knows; a new experience anoints the wearer as it weaves a sensuous spell like no other before it. It is the first touch of AEDES DE VENUSTAS, a touch that will never be forgotten.The composition of AEDES DE VENUSTAS Signature Eau de Parfum is a world onto itself. There is no trace of the traditional fragrance pyramid. The construction is round, luxurious, voluptuous and addictive. The scents chypre character is pierced at its center with the ephemeral green freshness of rhubarb accord; the axis around which the fragrance revolves, like the wearer emanating its memorable sillage. Embodied and embodying; AEDES DE VENUSTAS Signature Eau de Parfum is the past, present and future of perfumery in simultaneous revolution.Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour describes the perfume as a game of supports in an unexpected, even improbably olfactory architecture because the green effect increases while the heavy dark resinous incense and chypre accord is largely deceasing and getting more abstract. On an interesting note many of the ingredients in AEDES DE VENUSTAS Signature Eau de Parfum have been sourced by Bertrand Duchaufour. The ominpresent Vetiver is from Madagascar where Mr Duchaufour himself traveled to meet the farmers and made sure it complied to fair trade practices.Notes include: Rhubarb, vetiver, red berries, tomato leaf, incense, green apple, hazelnut, honeysuckle
With its iris and incense accord, the new Eau de Parfum by AEDES DE VENUSTAS matches the worlds most precious aromatic material with the most ancient. Taking perfumery into the future by bringing it back to its roots: this is iris, reborn.The rare Iris Bismarckiana is also known as Iris Nazarena because it grows mainly in the mountains east of Nazareth. The uncanny beauty of the blossom, with its brown or purple spots and delicate, bluish-purple veins is the muse of this creation.The suede-soft petals of the mystical flower are sketched in a subtle sfumato of brown, purple and white, brushed with powdery iridescence. The limpid ambrette, with its pear, rose and musk facets, sheds the tender light of dawn on the top notes.Rose adds a touch of floral sensuality, while the aromatic, resinous juniper berry introduces the incense theme. The cool, vivid green of star anise conjures the stylized stems and leaves of the flower.Patchouli and vetiver allude to its roots, driven into dark earth and rock. The sacred smoke rising from the altars weaves its mineral, leather-scented tendrils throughout the development with incense, clove and oud.This elegant sfumato effect is echoed by the grey velvet box and the smoky glass of the vintage-inspired bottle, crowned with AEDES DE VENUSTASs signature baroque gold zamak cap.

Richard Gerald Talbot Guyatt, designer: born La Coruña, Spain 8 May 1914; Professor of Graphic Arts, Royal College of Art 1948-78, Pro-Rector 1974-78, Rector 1978-81; consultant designer, Josiah Wedgwood & Sons 1952-55; consultant designer, Central Electricity Generating Board 1964-68; consultant designer, British Sugar Bureau 1965-68; CBE 1969; consultant designer, W.H. Smith 1970-87; married 1941 Elizabeth Corsellis (died 2005; one stepdaughter); died Ham, Wiltshire 17 October 2007.
Richard Guyatt was one of the 20th century's most seminal figures in the world of graphic design. Even the phrase "graphic design" was his own invention. His career spanned 75 years and his greatest influence was exercised as one of the inner circle of artists, architects and designers who came together after the Second World War to reform the Royal College of Art.
In 1939, the Ministry of Home Security had recruited a team to design camouflage for important installations. In this unit, Dick Guyatt worked with fellow professionals including Hugh Casson, Robert Goodden, David Pye and Robin Darwin. Whilst serious endeavour directed their efforts to develop the patterns of deception, later events suggest that the formidable friendships made here brought a coherent element to the new design establishment that was to emerge after the war.
In 1948 Guyatt was approached by Darwin, then working for the Council of Industrial Design, to help prepare a report proposing curriculum changes at the Royal College of Art, which they considered to have declined to little more than a moribund hatchery for the teaching profession. The report got Darwin the job of Principal at the RCA and he enlisted Guyatt as the college's youngest Professor, to create a new school of "Graphic Design". The aim was to bring the teaching of design up to date and make it an effective force to help propel British industry and commerce into the modern post-war world.
Guyatt himself coined the phrase "graphic design" – "No one was quite sure what it meant," he said, "but it had a purposeful ring" – and at one stroke it freed commercial art from its pejorative associations and allowed it to rejoin and in many ways rejuvenate fine art in the mainstream of British culture. He opened new departments for the study of film and television, photography, illustration, typography, printmaking and graphic information, and insisted that all areas of the college should communicate and inform each other.
This new approach met considerable resistance from a fine art establishment that was already struggling with its own inner conflicts. As graphic design became part of the language and to be regarded as art itself, many "fine" artists found themselves in an uncomfortable position – and Guyatt's disregard of artists who "could not draw" did not endear him to the airier echelons of the profession.
He encouraged specialisation, sought out industrial partnerships and engaged teachers who were practising professionals. These radical innovations eventually achieved a new status for designers and a lasting reform of British art education.
At the 1951 Festival of Britain, the first great national event after the war, Guyatt was co-designer (with his RCA colleagues Goodden and Dick Russell) of the Lion and Unicorn Pavilion, the star exhibit, dedicated to an exploration of the national character. In this celebration of "Englishness" the gravitas of the Lion and the whimsy of the Unicorn were combined with a flair and a beguiling wit that entirely charmed even the British public queuing in the rain.
By 1963 the energy and creativity of Guyatt's design school had become a focus for the whole college. Graphics RCA, the catalogue of an exhibition of 15 years of his students' work was an impressive array of the best in British graphic design: Ridley Scott, David Gentleman, Michael Foreman, Norman Ackroyd, Len Deighton, Alan Fletcher and Brian Tattersfield were among those who made up the long list of his students.
Guyatt's adherence to the original vision of what the RCA should be and achieve was unswerving. He nurtured his staff and his students with real affection and insight, with a velvet hand—albeit in an iron glove. One (then) young teacher says she can never forget how Guyatt looked after her when she joined the college: "Properly and beautifully, a real gentleman." As Sir Hugh Casson wrote on Guyatt's retirement from the RCA in 1981, ". . . all his life Dick Guyatt has readily accepted and punctiliously dealt with teaching, designing, consulting, illustrating, lecturing, administrating; bringing to each problem, however small, that same quality of the true professional, the ruthless determination to achieve by rational methods aims that have been conceived in passion."
Dick Guyatt spent his childhood in Spain – his father was British Consul in Vigo – and although a Charterhouse education placed him firmly in the ranks of the British establishment, it did nothing to eradicate a strain of stubborn, quixotic and stylish brilliance inherited from his Spanish grandmother. His only ambition was to be a "real" artist, and even at school he was fascinated by the contrasts and conflicts that existed between fine and applied art.
At 19 he apprenticed himself to Oliver Messel's theatre design studio, attended Bernard Meninsky's life drawing classes and started to pick up a living with advertising commissions. Two of his Shell posters – "Sham Castle in Bath" for the Visit Britain's Landmarks series, and "Racing Motorists" for These Men Use Shell – are classics.
But it was more than drive and vision that sustained his career. In 1933 Dick Guyatt had been introduced to the work of the Russian philosopher P.D. Ouspensky. Ouspensky loved the truth, and truthfulness, above all else, and his philosophy was not merely ideas – it had to be a practical proposition. Both Dick and his wife Elizabeth attended Ouspensky's meetings until 1947 and the intensive practice of Ouspensky's system of self-knowledge produced a core of belief that would shape and direct their lives.
Ouspensky's "practical proposition" meant that all thought, feeling and action had to be attentively observed to discover one's own unique form of creativity. In Guyatt's life and work, this produced an economy of style and expression that was always in step with his perfectionism. His unvarying practice of what he preached, leavened by a wickedly deadpan sense of humour, was a deeply positive and lasting influence on his students and his friends.
Guyatt was variously consultant designer to Wedgwood, the Electricity Generating Board, the British Sugar Bureau and W.H. Smith. He realised ceramic designs for British embassies, King's College, Cambridge, for the Coronation and the Royal Silver Wedding, and for Eton College. For nine years, he was a member of the Stamp Advisory Committee and designed for the Royal Mint. From 1968 he was chairman of the Guyatt/Jenkins Design Group and for many years exhibited his own paintings with the London Group. He was twice Visiting Professor at Yale University.
He worked for 34 years at the Royal College of Art, becoming Pro-Rector in 1974 and Rector from 1978 until 1981. He continued to work almost to his death; aged 91 he produced, to mark the bicentenary of the battle of Trafalgar, the last of a long series of now highly collectable commemorative mugs for Wedgwood.
He was one of our last remaining examples of a genuine Edwardian gentleman, to whom the qualities of duty, fidelity, truthfulness and manners were paramount. To the end he practised all these with a lightness and impeccability of style entirely his own.

Tyrone Spong vs. Remy Bonjasky GLORY kickboxing fight moved to March
Less than a week after the fight announcement, Tyrone Spong's next kickboxing outing has been changed.
In a bout originally set for Feb. 16 in London at GLORY 5, Spong (68-6-1) now will meet Remy Bonjasky (77-14) on March 23 in London.
GLORY officials recently announced the date change, saying the delay will give Bonjasky a chance for a full fight camp.
Bonjasky will participate in the upcoming GLORY 4: Tokyo Heavyweight Grand Slam event, which takes place on New Year's Eve in conjunction with DREAM 18. The turnaround time from that event to his planned Feb. 16 match against Spong was short enough that promotion officials decided giving him the full prep time would be beneficial.
"Remy was more than happy to take part in the tournament and then fight again in February," GLORY Chairman Pierre Andurand stated. "But this is the first time that he and Spong will have fought, and there was such huge interest in the match when we announced it that we decided to move the date and give him some time to rest up. It means that he and Spong will be in peak condition when they face each other."
GLORY 5 will take place at the arena at ExCeL Exhibition Centre in London. Tickets are expected to go on sale soon, and the full fight card will be announced in the coming weeks.
Spong earlier this month made his MMA debut with a dominant first-round knockout of Travis Bartlett at World Series of Fighting 1 in Las Vegas. He does not yet have his next MMA fight booked, but the world-renowned kickboxer will return to that sport for the highly anticipated bout against Bonjasky.
Spong spent roughly a year training with the Blackzilians squad at Imperial Athletics in Florida in preparation for his crossover from kickboxing to MMA. And against Bartlett, he didn't disappoint. He was a massive favorite in the fight. Just 40 seconds in, he landed a head kick that dropped Barlett, and 30 seconds later continued to try to land the big right roundhouse kick to the head. He also mixed in knees, leg kicks and punches, and after barely breaking a sweat, Spong landed a straight right hand that planted Bartlett, then just turned around and walked away.
As a kickboxer, Spong has won four straight, including a knockout of Peter Aerts in June. His last setback came nearly two years ago against Alistair Overeem in the K-1 World Grand Prix quarterfinals.
Bonjasky owns three K-1 Grand Prix titles and just this past month returned after three years away from the sport due to an eye injury and subsequent surgery. His return was successful as he won a decision against top-ranked Anderson "Braddock" Silva at GLORY 2 in Belgium.
No broadcast details have been announced for GLORY 5, but Luer and GLORY Chairman Pierre Andurand recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio that they expect to have a television deal in place soon, not just for the next solo GLORY show, but for the combined GLORY/DREAM card in December.
The resurgence of DREAM was announced this past month, and soon after it was announced DREAM 18 will be combined with the GLORY 4 Tokyo Heavyweight Grand Slam, which was planned for earlier in the month.
The new show, "DREAM 18 and GLORY 4 Tokyo New Year's Eve Special," takes place at 4 p.m. (2 a.m. ET) Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, near Tokyo.

I drive like a granny ( speed limit )/ accelerate slow, I have 32s everything else is stock,
6 speed manny
18-19 consistently, and I also drive it like a baby. I could tell a big difference just by keeping it 5 under the speed limit. And I work with a guy that makes his own biodiesel and he told me something I will never forget, to mash the accelerator as if an egg was under it.
And 31s with an auto with 3.07 gears
Everything is stock just changed my o2 censors and upgraded the air filter and I get 14-16 city and have seen 18 on the highway auto trans
Just bought an 2005 LJ, 81,000 miles 4.0/6 speed, 235-75R15's. 3.73's I think. I've gotten 17 and 19 mpg on the 2 tanks I've put through it, hoping I can keep that up or get better.
Will 31's help or hurt my MPG?
3 Attachment(s)

Despite its indispensability, accounting is frequently overlooked. At Fung, Yu & Co, our job is to make accounting simple, understandable and practical for our clients. We provide companies with comprehensive accounting, bookkeeping and financial reporting services, so that your company has access to accurate and up-to-date financial data to forego unnecessary risks and avoid costly investments.
In terms of flexibility and cost-effectiveness, we are the top choice for many local branches of multinational companies as well as start-ups that wish to reduce costs and allow company resources to focus on core business.
With an increasingly globalised marketplace comes new business and regulatory challenges. We can help your company navigate the risks and potential burdens of entering this lucrative but ever-changing environment. Find out how we can tailor our auditing and assurance services specifically for your organisation's needs and discover the difference we bring to accountability and transparency.
Strategic Advice for Total Compliance
Our professional auditing services enable our clients to better understand their business needs, while providing them with timely and constructive advice to manage their future expansion. We report to the shareholders of each company independently, and our strategic advice ensures compliance with local legal requirements at all times and earmarks potential issues along with solutions to mitigate them before they escalate.
We perform annual audits in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRSs) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). We provide professional opinions relating to accounting and auditing issues and advise clients of relevant legal requirements and regulations and their compliance.
Reporting Accountants – Transactions

Financial Statement Reviews
We provide reviews through inquiry and analytical procedures to financial statements such as interim financial statements and issue review reports based on our results. Generally speaking, the scope of a review and level of assurance is less than an audit.
Compilation Engagements
Apart from general audit and assurance engagements, we can assist in providing compilation engagements which assist our clients in the preparation and presentation of financial information. The engagement can be carried out on a monthly, quarterly or annually basis.
Agreed-Upon Procedures Engagements
We can tailor our engagements for clients to focus on specific areas of concern in order to meet their needs. We can provide reports of factual findings of agreed-upon procedures without expressing assurance opinions. Relying on our factual findings, clients can prepare for further action or formulate their business strategy based on our services.
Projections and Forecasts
In order to meet client needs, we can prepare prospective financial statements that present the projected financial position and results of operations and cash flows under given hypothetical assumptions.
We can perform due diligence for companies to identify transaction issues before they escalate during mergers and acquisitions. With our experienced professional team, we can help our clients to uncover potential risks and crises and can analyze and understand the target's affairs and financial status.
We can assist clients in the litigation process through financial investigations and forensic accounting through collecting and providing an analysis of financial and accounting information, preparing requisite independent accountant's reports and acting as an expert witness.
Our professional team can provide assistance to clients through independent valuations of a business entity in accordance with international valuation standards for purposes such as acquisitions, disposals or mergers.
We can assist clients in the assessment and improvement of internal control effectiveness and compliance with corporate governance reporting requirements by performing a review of internal control system results with our professional recommendations on possible areas for improvement.

Its established legal and administrative bodies and simple tax regime is coupled with a world-class banking system and easy access to major financial hubs in the region. These factors make it an ideal location for your company's headquarters in Asia, as well as offering a strategic springboard into the Chinese market.
Strategic Positioning
Nestled in the heart of Asia, Hong Kong is only a brief 5-hour flight from most major cities in Mainland China; half the world's population and one of the fastest-growing markets is only a 5-hour flight away. Our international airport counts as among the busiest in the region, with direct flights to over 180 international destinations worldwide including 44 major cities in China.
Gateway to China
For the past 150 years, Hong Kong has served as the preferred gateway into China. Its advanced infrastructure, unique geographical location between the East and West and great industrial spirit has firmly established it as Asia's leading commercial, financial, legal and logistics centre. As China opens its trade to the world, Hong Kong's natural position as the gateway into this thriving market cannot be underestimated. Not only does the HKSAR have the advantage of long-term experience trading with China, it is also culturally and linguistically compatible in a way few other trading hubs can boast of.
Setting up a company in Hong Kong is fast and easy and provides an ideal vehicle for further expansion in the region. Among the many benefits of using a Hong Kong company as a key to investment in China is that companies in the region receive preferential tax treatment under the current CEPA ("Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement") regime between China and Hong Kong. In addition, Chinese is the official language of law in Hong Kong as well as in Mainland China, offering a practical advantage for foreign investors negotiating this dynamic new market.
Apart from its strategic relationship with China, Hong Kong has also entered into various Double Tax Treaties with over 53 countries worldwide, allowing for great tax incentives in Hong Kong as a hub for conducting international trade within Asia.

Gaining a stake in the Mainland offers access to a potential customer base in the most populous nation on Earth – home to over a billion people.

One unique aspect of the Hong Kong tax system is the territorial source concept, such that income or profits will only be taxed if it arises in or is derived from Hong Kong. In addition to various benefits the territorial system brings, the various double tax treaties that Hong Kong has entered into with over 53 countries can provide tremendous benefits when using Hong Kong as an outbound investment vehicle.
We provide a full range of taxation advisory and compliance services including:
As an evolving economy, laws and regulations in China are constantly updating and changing, and actual practices vary from city to city and province to province. In addition, as Mandarin Chinese is the only official language in China, a lot of foreign investors find it more challenging from conducting business in Hong Kong.

We can assist in the preparation and filing of corporate tax returns, negotiate with tax bureaus and provide advice on other Chinese tax compliance and advisory needs covering Enterprise Income Taxes, Individual Income Taxes, Business Taxes, Value-Added Taxes and other miscellaneous local taxes and surcharges in China.
Data indicates that nearly two-thirds of foreign direct investments in China were conducted through Hong Kong, while over half of outbound investments from China into overseas markets were also channeled through this international financial hub. The reasons for using Hong Kong as a major platform for inbound/outbound Chinese investments is not incidental, but due to a variety of reasons such as its bilingual legal framework, geographical location and world-class banking system.
Following every business transaction usually comes the question of tax exposure. In our area of expertise, this is the most frequent area of concern for clients and indeed is a question that we handle each and every day.

Our team of experienced advisors are able to help you avoid pitfalls and unforeseen tax burdens and help you navigate through them by formulating plans and strategies to legally minimize tax burdens foreseeable in M&A deals.

Apart from corporations, we have advised numerous senior executives on remuneration packages and how to reduce both personal taxes and employer corporate tax burdens to the minimum. We cater most individual tax engagements from basic personal tax compliance to structuring remuneration packages, bonuses and option schemes to corporate statutory compliance related to their staff and executives.
Every individual, whether a resident or not, once benefits such as salaries or fee incomes are sourced from China, he or she is possibly subject to the Individual Income Tax of China.
We provide a wide spectrum of bilingual individual income tax compliance and advisory services to expatriate staff and executives. With a deep understanding of local practices and applications, we can assist in the preparation and filing of individual income tax returns, negotiate with tax bureaus and advise on other Chinese tax compliance and advisory services.

Mathematical Formulation of Tools for Assessment of Fragility and Vulnerability of Damaged Buildings
Li, Quanwang
MetadataShow full item record
Performance-Based (PBE) and Consequence-Based (CBE) are new approaches to seismic design, evaluation and risk assessment, in which design criteria are devised to achieve stated performance objectives, and regional losses to civil infrastructure are mitigated through selective interventions for critical components of a civil infrastructure. These new approaches give engineers more flexibility in achieving performance goals but require substantial additional computational resources to fully achieve performance goals. As a step toward making such approaches feasible, this dissertation develops a number of computationally efficient methods for performing finite element-based structural system dynamic response analysis and reliability assessment. The Enhanced Uncoupled Modal Response History Analysis (EUMRHA) procedure developed herein is an efficient response analysis procedure to make the analysis of dynamic structural response to earthquakes in the nonlinear range less time-consuming. This technique is used to investigate the potential for aftershocks to cause additional damage to steel moment frame buildings, utilizing a technique designed to enhance the efficiency of Monte Carlo simulation in estimating low-probability events. Relatively simple probabilistic tools are proposed for purposes of rapid structural evaluation and condition assessment of damaged buildings. Finally, an analysis-based inspection scheme based on an associated probability model of connection damage is proposed for assessing the safety condition of existing buildings, and a procedure to assess the likely performance of an un-repaired building during a future earthquake is developed.

However, as the weeks passed, his friends and colleagues realised that the accident had seriously affected his personality. He was described as "fitful, irreverent, indulging at times in the grossest profanity which was not previously his custom, manifesting but little deference for his fellows, impatient of restraint or advice when it conflicts with his desires".
Although the accident destroyed Gage's personal life, it resulted in a major breakthrough in the understanding of the brain. Scientists began to think of the brain as a series of modules, each one with different responsibilities. For example, the frontal lobes contain modules that control speech and motor functions, and also the modules that help people to behave rationally and interact socially. The rod had entered Gage's frontal lobes, leaving intact the bits that deal with speech and motor functions, but destroying the bits that made him sociable and rational.
Last year neuroscientists from all over the world gathered to mark the 150th anniversary of Gage's accident and to discuss his and similar cases. For example, in the early 1990s there was the case of "Elliot", who suffered from a brain tumour that pressurised and damaged his frontal lobes. After the tumour had been removed, he remained in control of all his physical faculties and scored highly on IQ tests, but he lacked social intelligence. Following years of success as a salesman, he lost his job, his wife divorced him, and a new business venture ended in bankruptcy.
The conference also discussed the various lines of research that Gage had inspired. Ann Streissguth at the University of Washington has been studying foetal alcohol syndrome, a range of conditions caused by exposure to alcohol while in the womb. The syndrome includes poor judgement and a lack of emotion, which was also true of Gage. Streissguth is currently testing the hypothesis that alcohol affects the frontal lobes in a way that is not dissimilar to the destruction caused by an iron rod.
Gage's accident created the science of behavioural biology and helped treat subsequent victims, but his own life was ruined. He could not hold down a job, he had to become a circus freak in order to survive and died at the age of 38. His skull can still be seen at the Warren Medical Museum of Harvard University.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK In its single biggest repayment of bailout loans so far, American International Group (AIG) said Monday it is paying back nearly $4 billion in taxpayer aid with proceeds from a recent debt sale.
The insurer's aircraft leasing company, International Lease Finance Corp. (ILFC), completed the sale of $4.4 billion in debt. AIG will use more than $3.9 billion of the proceeds to repay the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, trimming the balance on its credit line with the Fed to about $15 billion. Adding interest, the total is about $21 billion.
The emergency credit line was part of a $182 billion federal bailout package that New York-based AIG received during the financial crisis to avoid collapse. AIG has been selling assets to pay back the aid.
READ: What AIG says
"This is continuing tangible evidence of AIG's progress in repaying the American taxpayers," says AIG CEO Robert Benmosche. "AIG is getting stronger every day. We still have more work to do, but we will finish the job and make sure we repay the American taxpayers."
As of June 30, excluding the new payment, AIG said its outstanding balance owed to the government stood at about $101 billion. The total includes debt as well as preferred shares of stock in AIG held by the Treasury Department.
Los Angeles-based ILFC leases one of the world's biggest commercial jet fleets. It struggled earlier this year to pay off its loans and had to draw the $3.9 billion from AIG to pay back some of its debt. AIG had tried to find a buyer for the unit, but any sale seems off the table for now as ILFC has found healthy demand for recent bond offerings, which will help it meet some deadlines for paying back loans.
The repayment will release about $10 billion of collateral that ILFC had pledged to the Fed under the credit agreement. With the recent debt sales and other notes issues, the aircraft unit has boosted its total liquidity — assets that can quickly be converted to cash — to more than $12.5 billion over the last five months.
The offerings "are a direct reflection of our company's viability and future prospects as a leader in leasing aircraft to the world's airlines," says ILFC CEO Henri Courpron, noting that the company has more than $13 billion in aircraft orders.
Separately, AIG said it will book a pretax charge of about $650 million against its earnings due to the repayment. AIG shares fell 13 cents to $35.04.
In June, the Congressional Oversight Panel said in a report that it was still unclear whether U.S. taxpayers will ever fully recoup the full $182 billion that AIG received.

What country is the worlds leading producer of gold?
South Africa.
What country is leading in information technology in the world?
The United States The US is still the world's biggest innovating country. Not only does the US have the best facilities and universities but it is home to the people… who are currently leading in science and technology. This is actually wrong. Around 2011, a group of researchers developed a Global Technology index; a group of measurements that would acurately portray the world's leading country in technology, and it showed that the US actually ranked third in the world. Finland took first place, and Japan took second place. Sooo, it's safe to say that we are amoung the top three, but we are not THE leading country.
What country has the worlds highest beef consumption per capita?

What country leads the world in the production of pork?
China is the leading country in the world who produces the most pork in the world.
Which country is the leading producer of oil?
Oil is the world's most significant and important trade good and is expensive as well. Oil is traded in a world market with respect to global prices. There are many big …competitors or rivalries present in the marker and only 10 companies control 68 percent of the world's oil reserves. Following are the 10 oil producing companies: • Russia • Saudi Arabia. • United States. • Iran. • China. • Mexico. • Norway. • Canada. • United Arab Emirates. • Nigeria. Recent research shows that Russia is presently extorting more oil as compare to Saudi Arabia. That makes Russia the leading producer of black gold in the world. Since 2002 Russian corporations have beat the Saudis, on an on-and-off basis, as world's biggest oil producers. In June 2007 Russia pulled out 9.236 million oil barrels which is 46,000 barrels extra than Saudi Arabia. Usually Saudi Arabia is considered to be the world's largest key supply of oil and then comes Russia. But in recent years Russia now has advanced industries and now emerging as largest producer of oil in the world.

The United States of America. Despite the educational problems that the US faces, it is still the number one innovating country with the world's best universities, facilitie…s, schools etc. But most importantly, it is thanks to the fact that the US is home to the world's finest scientists, engineers etc. that make it superior. Plus, the country continues to encourage and attract people with brains to come work and reside in the US which results in the brain drain in other countries.
What country leads the world in gold production?
which country has the highest gold reserve you can find the U.S. world statistics at the USGS. Bigest country producer : * south africa * USA * China *… Peru * ... I would say that the countries who lead gold are USA, South Africa for there reserves and also because the bigest mining companies are located there (Rio Tinto is from the UK...). The mining companies have a major role as they hold the supply side... and this way control the prices. They can short term reduce or increase production and long term through investment in explotation and exploration.

Alex Perry is one of the top cover cornerbacks in the West region and he's drawn his share of looks on the recruiting front, showing the capability to shadow opponents down field while also creeping toward the line of scrimmage in run support. He is a key part of a loaded Bishop Gorman defense and shows great play recognition.
The four-star corner was committed to the Arizona State Sun Devils before but backed off that pledge once interest picked up nationally. He named ASU as his frontrunner in the summer and told Scout.com he was close to making another commitment, but has softened on that recently and hopes to take some official visits in the coming months. Perry described his previous unofficial visit to Colorado as "amazing."
Check out the video interview below to get the latest on Perry's recruitment, with the following schools mentioned: Arizona State, Colorado, Michigan and North Carolina.

Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Large Group
Room Type: Balcony
Just returned from a family cuise, a total of 10 of us. It was a wonderful experience. The entire crew was very friendly. Only down side....anytime dinning was a bit chaotic and the wait service was slow. The Carnival Dream held 4,500 guests. This was too many people for me, but over all a FUN vacation. The kids loved camp carnival and the water slide. The adults loved the shows/games, the casino, and the Serenity Lounge (adults only area).

Ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel mit prachtvolle Aussicht über die Küste Kristiansund und das Innere von Nordmøre.
From the parking place there is a gravel road up to a small house. From the starting point is the path to the top of Freikollen. Follow the road past the house and up the ski hill, where the path is clearly visible on the right side of the hill. On top of the ski hill follow the trail that goes to the right. The trail is now in steep terrain with rocks and roots that surface and dense forest. Eventually it becomes more open and the top can be seen. Along the way there are several cairns showing the way to the top.
The tour is a demanding trail with steep sections toward the end.

A Compact and Professional Field Recorder
The Roland R-44 is ideal for field recording situations that demand the highest quality. Weighing just less than three pounds, the R-44 uses SD or large capacity SDHC cards, handling 4 channels of professional, uncompressed audio with selectable bit depths and sampling frequencies. Quiet and reliable with no moving parts, the R-44 also features multiple built-in effects including a limiter, low-cut filter, 3-band EQ, 6-band GEQ, Enhancer, and DeEsser for further polishing your recordings. As profesional as it is portable, videographers, musicians, teachers, and sound designers everywhere will enjoy high-quality recordings with their Roland R-44!Roland R-44 at a Glance:
- Built-in microphone and speakers
- Onboard studio-grade effects
- Handy pre-record function
- Variety of inputs and outputs
- Operation-oriented user interface
- Can link units together
- Connects to your computer via USB
Built-in microphone and speakers
While the R-44 includes a host of input and output options for nearly any field recording situation, it also comes to you ready-to-go with its high-quality onboard stereo microphone and monitor speakers.
Onboard studio-grade effects
The Roland R-44 includes multiple professional effects for polishing your audio tracks - either as you record them, or for monitoring and playback. An onboard limiter helps suppress sudden peaks in sound from an input source, helping free your recordings from any unwanted distortion or clipping. Just as useful, the included low-cut filter prevents wind noise or mic handling noise. Other effects include a 3-band EQ, 6-band Graphic EQ, Enhancer and DeEsser that can all be applied to greatly improve the professionalism of your audio tracks.
Pre-record function
When you're out in the field, sometimes you're waiting to record that right sound or moment, and having your recording device just continuously record can be a waste of battery and a waste of space on your memory cards. The R-44 comes with an incredibly useful pre-record function, so you never have to miss the important moments again. Buffering input signals for a certain amount of user-selectable time, the R-44 includes the previous seconds before you actually hit the record button. Not only is this incredibly useful when you're waiting for the sound of a passing train, or for some other event to occur, but it also helps reduce lengthy dead time at the beginning of a recording by not having to start the recorder too early.
Variety of inputs and outputs
Four combo input jacks on your R-44 support the connection of both XLR and 1/4" plugs. While onboard phantom power ensures that you can use your favorite condensers with your R-44, eleven steps of selectable input sensitivity help you easily record devices with a variety of input levels - from microphones to musical instruments.
Operation-oriented user interface
With its high contrast, high response LED screen, the R-44 is viewable from wide angles, ensuring easy operation in any field recording situation. Responsive level meters make precise level adjustments possible, while easily accessible, self-lit buttons on every key control help you fluidly operate your R-44 in lower-light recording situations.
Can link two units together
If you need eight affordable channels of simultaneous recording, you can use the Control Sync terminal with two R-44s connected via a stereo mini-cable. In this way, the master unit can remotely control record standby, record start, and record stop of the slave unit.
Connects to your computer easily via USB
You can easily mount your R-44 onto your computer via any available USB 2.0 connection. The R-44 operates just like a regular USB storage device, letting you copy data back and forth by simply dragging and dropping.

UPDATE 1-Mexico targets business boom in Cuba as Castro visits
(Adds quotes from Castro, Pena Nieto, details of meeting)
By Dave Graham
MERIDA, Mexico Nov 6 (Reuters) - After standing by Communist Cuba in its years of international isolation, Mexico welcomed Cuban President Raul Castro on Friday as it seeks to turn Havana's thawing relations with the United States into a major business opportunity on the island.
For the first time since Washington and Havana announced an historic rapprochement last December, Castro visited Mexico, where he met President Enrique Pena Nieto in the picturesque colonial-era city of Merida on the Yucatan peninsula.
Mexico is eager to stake its claim as Cuba's principal bridge to Latin America and the leaders signed accords on tourism, agriculture, education and migration before scheduled talks with a delegation of Mexican businessmen.
"Both governments have agreed to set about creating conditions for more Mexican companies to invest in Cuba," Pena Nieto said inside a 19th century palace where the two men, dressed in white guayabera shirts, spoke to reporters.
Following Pena Nieto's words closely, Castro praised Mexico for its solidarity during the Cold War, and looked forward to still closer ties, saying: "I'm also pleased about the interest among Mexican companies to do business and invest in Cuba."
Pena Nieto noted that the two nations had vowed to bring order to migrant flows after a recent jump in Cubans reaching Mexico, but he did not provide details of the accord.
The traffic is a nuisance to Cuba, going in the opposite direction from the route Raul, Fidel Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara took 59 years ago when they and their band of revolutionaries left the Mexican port of Tuxpan to oust Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Continuación...

Minutes from the Bank's monetary policy committee showed that, while all nine members voted for a rate freeze at their latest meeting, they debated cutting the 4% cost of borrowing after weak growth data from the US and eurozone economies.
The committee's concerns echo those voiced on Tuesday night by the US Federal Reserve when it opted to keep rates on hold.
The unanimous MPC vote meant a change of heart for the Bank's hawkish Deputy Governor Mervyn King, who in July voted for a rise in the base rate.
Meanwhile, figures out today from the Office for National Statistics showed unemployment fell in July. The number of jobless benefit claimants dipped 3,100 to 949,000.

Best Antivirus Apps For Windows 10 of 2016
Best Antivirus Apps For Windows 10 of 2016
Download the best Antivirus apps for Windows 10 of 2016: Until the age of Windows 7 we have had the fuss of choosing the best available Antivirus app for our OS. With the advent of Windows 8 came Windows Defender which is inbuilt, automatically scans every program we open and provides a shield. But the underlying question stands, Is Windows defender unexceptionably good enough? Well, the truth is Microsoft's antivirus lagged a bit behind others when the comparative tests were made. It received a fair 3.5/6 from AV-Test, which is decent if we keep our windows up-to-date.
We were all excited about Windows 10 when we heard that it will be a free upgrade for Windows 7 and Windows 8 Users. While most of our programs will continue to work fine unless we are using something dubious. Security solutions are not certified yet. Windows 10 is inclusive of protections introduced in windows 8, like the smart screen filter which shields you from installing any kind of malware. So, if you are the one to follow good security practices Windows Defender should do the job for you, but if you are likely to engage in downloading pirated applications or any other high risk activities, you may want to consider higher security apps than Windows Defender.
We always have the threat when installing an Antivirus app which isn't verified with the new operating system. AV-Comparatives has come to our rescue and released a list of "tested" security solutions. The good news is our all-time favorites Avira, Avast and AVG still tops the list.
We present you with the list of Antivirus apps for Windows 10. Do go through the specification which matches your requirement before curating it.
This has to top the list as it continues to be the best antivirus software's in the market till date. More than 239 Million downloads states testimony of that fact. It bestows us with some amazing features for threat free online banking and shopping even in its free version making it the number one choice for our Windows 10 OS. The recent release of Avast 2016 has promised to offer many improvements over its predecessors.
Avira has redefined its protection level and enhanced itself to offer high quality shield hence grabs spot No.2 on our charts. It includes firewall like Avast including child monitoring system. The community is growing rapidly and is the next strong contender in the list.
The 2016 version came with zen applications which allows us to see status of all devices running the software. Available for Mac, Android and PC.
It's a free software available for both commercial and personal use. It offers Internet security suite that incorporates all the features to provide you with a safe browsing experience while performing sensitive transactions. Unlike other vendors, there is no time limit for the free version.
Kaspersky Internet Security 126.96.36.1994
Absolute best protection comes at a price. It offers a total internet security with 2-way personal firewall formula with anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-hacker, anti-spam and anti-phishing layers. It also cleans traces of user activity, has a rigid application filter and safe WiFi and VPN connections.
The only Con is it adds UAC permission requirements like Microsoft which in-turn requests for many processes. Also, initiates encryption of read-only sites and disables any other competitor antivirus apps if any.
With these top antiviruses for 2016 for your PC, you can stay threat free. Keep watching this space for more updates!

Risk Appetite Lifted as EU Delays Vote for New Hedge Fund Rules
Risk appetite is given a lift today led by banks, as EU failed to resolve a row over new rules to control hedge funds. The vote was delayed for couple more months in a reprieve for UK, which fears that too-tight regulation could drive the industry from London. Also, Greece concerns eased a bit after EU finance ministers said a blueprint for financial help was laid down. The exact form for assistance is still unknown but it could be some form of bilateral loans. The emergency loan would be provided if Greece's plan for EUR 4.8b cut in deficit fails.
Data from US is slightly better thane expected with housing starts at 575k, building permits at 612k in February. Import price dropped -0.3% mom in February. German ZEW came in better than expected at 44.5 even though it's the 6th consecutive month decline in March. Meanwhile, Eurozone ZEW disappointed by dropping to 37.9.
FOMC will take center stage next. Fed is widely expected to leave the policy rate unchanged at 0-0.25%. While we expect wordings of keeping 'exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period' will be retained in the accompanying statement, the language will be modified in 2Q10 as economy improves further and the Fed begins to withdraw excess liquidity from the market. More in Will the Fed Retain the 'Extended Period' Wordings?
The Bank of Japan will be the focus in the coming Asian session. BoJ will likely extend the duration and expand the size of the new lending facility (launched in December) so as to fight against deflation. We expect the central bank to double the amount of money injected through its new operation from the current 10 trillion yen to 20 trillion yen, while duration will be extended from 3 months to 6 months. More in BOJ to Extend and Expand QE
USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 90.30; (P) 90.57; (R1) 90.78; More.
USD/JPY rebounds strongly after dipping to 89.97 earlier today but upside is still limited below 91.08 resistance. Intraday bias remains neutral and more sideway consolidation could still be seen. Nevertheless, note that rise from 88.13 is still expected to continue as long as 89.62 cluster support (50% retracement of 88.13 to 91.08 at 89.60) holds. Break of 91.08 will target near term trend line resistance (now at 91.34) and then 92.14 resistance. However, note that decisive break of 89.62 cluster support will indicate that rise from 88.13 is possibly finished and will flip intraday bias back to the downside for retesting this low.
In the bigger picture, outlook is rather mixed and we'll stay neutral for the moment. On the upside, break of 92.14 resistance will confirm that whole decline from 93.74 has completed with three waves down to 88.13 already. The corrective structure will in turn indicate that rise from 84.81 is still in progress for another high above 93.74. On the downside, break of 88.13 will reaffirm the bearish case that rise from 84.81 is completed at 93.74 already and will turn focus to 87.36 support for confirmation.

Algorithmic Trading – The New Age Way to Trade
World is getting faster. And, it's a no brainer. We have invested racing cars, bullet trains and zooming rockets. All these are speed guns. Let's come back to finance. Do we have a speedy trading machine that can think faster than the human mind? Yes, we do. This is exactly what we will be discussing now. It is called Algorithmic Trading.
As the name suggests, it is an algorithm or program written so as to identify and execute orders which a human brain may not be able to do. After all, we humans have limited powers. This type of programming is also called High Frequency Trading or HFT.
How does it work?
It primarily identifies arbitrage opportunities in the stock market to take advantage of the price difference within the exchanges. It is difficult for a normal human being to identify these opportunities on a consistent basis. However, this algorithm can identify such opportunities within milliseconds and also execute them.
Who wins?
So, if there are multiple algorithms competing with each other, what happens? Pretty simple, the fastest of the lot wins the order and executes it. For this purpose, many stock brokers have been trying to shift their base nearer to the market exchanges. The nearer they are, faster will be their execution time.
What else can be done?
Such algorithms are not just restricted to arbitrage opportunities. They are being designed to participate even in Derivatives, Forex, etc.
Which countries use it?
Currently, many countries use algorithmic trading. NYSE has the highest volume of such trades among exchanges all over the world.
What brokerages offer this service?
Brokerages in India that currently offer this service include ShareKhan, Destimoney, Zerodha, etc. Algorithm trading from all the traders combined is only one third of the trading volume in India. In US, it constitutes almost 70%.

Pump volume depending on the selected pump 1 ml/h–75 l/h, back pressure 10-2 bar
The metering system DULCODOS® universal combines carefully selected standard components with the solenoid driven metering pump you have selected. This is your convenient method for the reliable metering of liquid chemicals – and is available cost-effectively and extremely quickly thanks to the preconfigured modules.
Liquid chemicals are metered conveniently, cost-effectively and reliably
Metering is dependent on the metering pump. Components, such as pipes, relief valves and electrics – indispensable, but scarcely variable – ensure the reliable operation of the system. That is why we have pre-configured the new metering system DULCODOS® universal with these standards. The benefits for you: low costs, fast delivery, simple commissioning.
Naturally you have a choice here as well: Should it be the solenoid driven metering pump Beta® 4 or 5, delta® or gamma/ X? Should the pipes and seals be made of PP/FKM or PVC/EPDM? And do you need one or two points of injection with one or two pumps?
The novel valve block gives every metering system a clearly arranged structure. Every system is equipped with two relief valves, a collecting pan with leakage sensor and a calibration tank for controlled metering for complete operational safety.

We present a new commentary on Robert Grosseteste's De colore, a short treatise that dates from the early 13th century, in which Grosseteste constructs a linguistic combinatorial account of color. In contrast to other commentaries (e.g., Kuehni & Schwarz, Color Ordered: A Survey of Color Order Systems from Antiquity to the Present, 2007, p. 36), we argue that the color space described by Grosseteste is explicitly three-dimensional. We seek the appropriate translation of Grosseteste's key terms, making reference both to Grosseteste's other works and the broader intellectual context of the 13th century, and to modern color spaces.

Fwd: [usauwhwomen] 5th Annual Women's Tournament
Expand Messages

Subject: [usauwhwomen] 5th Annual Women's Tournament
To: US women <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Hi ladies,
It's time to start thinking about the 2013 Women's Tournament! It'll be
our 5th Annual so I think it'll be time to do some extra celebrating!
I'm hoping to not only have another great tournament, but also have a
Women's Hockey Tournament shirt for each participant this time! If you
have any other ideas or want in on tournament or the shirt planning, you
are most welcome! Let me know.
Right now, what is most important is to secure a time and place. We
usually have our tournament in September-October, trying to avoid the
PCC date (which is not yet set). Our tournament is a Sat-Sun event,
ending by 3pm so everyone can get home that evening if they need to. If
you or your club would like to host, please let me know. If you've
never hosted, no worries. The women's tournament is a great tournament
to start with; we'll give you lots of help learning what it takes to
take on a tournament.
Any ideas for dates, hosting, tournament or clinic details, awards or
anything else to make our annual women's tournament better are very much
appreciated! I hope to hear from lots of you!
