Yesterday, during our Pharmacology class, the doctor told us that the national holiday declared last Wednesday will be moved this Monday. With that, the scheduled examination for Pharma will be moved also the Monday next to it. As what anybody is expecting to hear from a student when a teacher declares of having no classes, ALL APPLAUSE!
A classmate of mine, one of the closest, KC, smilingly asked me to play casino with her in Waterfront hotel here in Cebu City. I told her that I could just go to Waterfront only when my elder sister, Bait, Didong's mum will arrive this Tuesday, also. Then she applauded more, even I. Haha.
However, when I got home last night and checked Oshi, I had two thoughts already whether to go out and play casino there or just have my usual Internet casino at home. This is because I am planning also to work on my personal blog's ranking with MRG since it's more than three months already and still having big fat zero love from MRG.
I gotta stay home by that time, I guess, unless my sister would want to roam around Cebu.

Edit the following sentence to eliminate jargon:
A 78-year-old woman with a congenital heart and a history of high blood pressure and heart attack was admitted to the hospital and prepped for surgery.
Highlight for the answer:
A 78-year-old woman with congenital heart disease and a history of high blood pressure and myocardial infarction was admitted to the hospital and prepared for surgery.
Editor's Note: A heart is not congenital; the preferred terminology is congenital heart disease or congenital cardiac anomaly. Myocardial infarction, not heart attack, is the preferred term. Patients are prepared, not prepped, for surgery (§11.4, Jargon, pp 408-410 in print). Some of these terms may be acceptable for certain types of writing; peer-reviewed medical journals generally avoid them.—Laura King, ELS

When Alyssa Denham, a single career woman, wins a fun getaway for two on Mackinac Island where her grandmother lives, she gives her carefree best friend a call. Together, they tour the old shops and hidden treasures of the quaint island while helping Alyssa's grandmother piece together an heirloom quilt. Their quest gains them entrance into the homes of many longtime residents of the island, parts of the city that are otherwise off limits to tourists.
As the quilt's story takes shape, Alyssa gains amazing insight into her grandmother's life - and attracts the attention of the handsome Scott Whitman, an island resident in charge of hotel transportation. Will memories of her past keep Alyssa from letting go? Or will the quest to piece together the heirloom quilt restore Alyssa's fractured heart - and bring healing to her entire family?

I liked the quilting mission aspect!
Quilts tell stories of love and loss, hope and faith, tradition and new beginnings. This book covered it well. I was gifted an audible book by the author to review. I really enjoyed the audible version, great voice and kept my interest. I am a quilter and enjoyed the quilting mission idea of this book. I liked that the author shows that God is very much a part of her characters lives.
Alyssa's grandmother, she was quite an interesting lady!
- Deanna Stevens
Very Enjoyable!
Having not read the print version, I can only say that I REALLY enjoyed the audio edition. The narration was clear and the voice was perfectly toned as to allow easy following of the story.
I loved Alyssa. As the heroine, I felt as if I knew her the best of all the characters. The author skillfully brought this character to life in a perfectly relatable way.
I loved how easy her voice was to listen to. The story came alive under her soft cadence, and the plot flowed smoothly with her voice at the helm.
Again, I'd have to say Alyssa. While the other characters were diverse and held their own appeal, I identified with Alyssa much more. Her personality is similar to mine, and this created a memorable connection.
I really enjoyed this story. The narration was very well done and beautifully brought out the wonderful plot Amber Stockton weaved. I'd love to hear more of Kristin's work as well as Amber's. It was well worth my time!

It's a bad time to be a student of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH.
Things haven't gone pretty well for LAUTECH students for a while now. First, the school was closed for most of 2017 because of a dispute between the states managing the school, Osun and Oyo.
Now, while they're going to have to deal with a fees hike that goes as high as a 75% increment. But the students were having none of this. So they took to the streets of Ibadan to protest and call on the governors of Oyo and Osun State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi and Ogbeni Raufu Aregbesola.
Their demands were clear; meet the demand of the striking workers of the school and provide better funding for the University. According to the Leadership news, the students said, " We hold that any increment will only deprive many students of the ability to afford tertiary education".
On the law enforcement side of things, the Police Commissioner, Sam Adegbuyi, has issued warning to the students to remain civil and avoid violent protests.
In summary, the students in loud and resounding voice, are making these demands:
The immediate and unconditional re-opening of the university with academic activities. The immediate payment of all outstanding salaries and allowances of striking workers and immediate restoration of their Students' Union. Period.

15 Apr 1111 Preamble - Friday 15 April 2011
In last week's member feedback, Member 56 raised the issue of excess superannuation contributions tax (ECT) and asked if we are pushing to change this law. The answer is a resounding "yes, we are!"
Amending the ECT laws is a top priority for The Tax Institute that we have been pursuing for many months now and we are continuing to push for changes. We know it is an important issue, because we have many members coming to us with examples of taxpayers tripping up on the caps, usually through inadvertence or misunderstanding of the complex law and being left with huge tax bills, up to 93% of the original excess contribution.
Member 56 asks why the ATO does not exercise his power of discretion. The Commissioner has set out the very limited "special circumstances" where he will exercise his discretion in a practice statement and fact sheet. The issue has also been litigated, with the AAT finding in the Commissioner's favour.
Given that the Commissioner appears to be constrained by the law, The Tax Institute has focussed its efforts on getting the law changed. In addition to addressing the issue in our federal budget submission, we have written to the Government on numerous ocassions; most recently we wrote to the Assistant Treasurer setting out a detailed proposal on how we consider that the law could be changed. The basis of our proposal was set out in an opinion piece that appeared in this Tuesday's Australian Financial Review. We are urging the government to amend the law such that excessive contributions are returned to the contributors, rather than imposing the ECT. We believe this solution will mean that the caps can be respected, but ensure that taxpayers who breach them are not unfairly penalised.
We remain hopeful that Minister Shorten will take up our suggestion. At our National Convention in March, he disclosed that he had received an ECT bill himself and he seems to appreciate that the law is unfair. We will continue to work for members to make our position clear and to assist the government to improve the tax system.

Jonathan De La Rosa and Steven Valdez, members of the Trinidad and Tobago Game Fishing Association (TTGFA) informed for the situation in Gulf of Paria and called for action, yesterday.
Steven Valdez, who was disappointed from the lack of action of the government agencies declared:
"Someone in authority needs to take ownership of this matter (and) remove those 12 derelict vessels before they leak any more oil and diesel into the Gulf of Paria."
Ships are anchored at around 500 meters off the Carenage coast, visible to citizens of high-rise condominium development, all the 12 ships left to rust unlit in water are causing serious danger to boaters unware of their presence or exact position.
Moreover to potential accidents at night with the lost vessels, Mr. Jonathan De La Rosa expressed concerns about very suspicious activity on and around all 12 derelict ships.
"We've seen people who have absolutely nothing to do with the boats, but they're there (at) various times of the day and night. You just know that something's going on there that's not right. Whether it's storing drugs, guns, anything, there's nobody out there to see what goes and what comes from those boats." De La Rosa also noted that at night, "many times boaters have passed by and seen (pirogues) pulling in, pulling out, taking people onboard and off board.
Does anybody know what's going on?
All the 12 derelict vessels were anchored and abandoned by TT Yacht Club for the past 2 years, claim people involved in the local shipping industry in the region.
The derelict vessels affect everything - environment, crime, tourism, as trivial as it may seem to people.
All 12 abandon ships' owner is identified as either Trinidad Vina Limited or Austin Vina Limited. The shipping company purchased the ship from the Tidewater Marine company, based in New Orleans after they had reached the end of their life span and may no longer be used in the oil industry of Brasil.
Local shipping agency members informed that derelict ships were planned to be scrapped and sold to China, but it seems the the expense for the local shipping company to get the relevant clearances, renting cranes and welding equipment prooved to be too much to scrap the ships.
Currently, 2 of the ships, anchored in 6.5 meters depth are partially submerged and another 2 ships are visible listing to one side. Moreover, oily spots could by simply seen around the propellers of one of the sunken ship that is lying on its starboard side.
According to unconfirmed information from a fisherman, the local company Trinidad Vina sold the vessel to another shipping company, but that has yet to be verified.

Bush's Bubble Breached
Thursday, May 10, 2007; 4:30 PM
The significant breach in the Bush Bubble being widely reported today may be a sign that the president can no longer count on members of his own party to shield him from the ugly realities he has created.
The war in Iraq, and to a lesser extent the U.S. attorney firings, appear to be driving some previously protective Republicans to call it like they see it -- and where Bush can hear it.
Shailagh Murray and Jonathan Weisman write in The Washington Post: "House Republican moderates, in a remarkably blunt White House meeting, warned President Bush this week that his pursuit of the war in Iraq is risking the future of the Republican Party and that he cannot count on GOP support for many more months.
"The meeting, which ran for an hour and a half Tuesday afternoon, was disclosed by participants yesterday. . . .
"'It was a very remarkable, candid conversation,' [Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (Va.)] said. 'People are always saying President Bush is in a bubble. Well, this was our chance, and we took it.' . . .
"Participants in Tuesday's White House meeting said frustration about the Iraqi government's efforts dominated the conversation. . . . The House members pressed Bush and Gates hard for a 'Plan B' if the current troop increase fails to quell the violence and push along political reconciliation. Davis said that administration officials convinced him there are contingency plans, but that the president declined to offer details, saying that if he announced his backup plan, the world would shift its focus to that contingency, leaving the current strategy no time to succeed. . . .
"[Presidential press secretary Tony] Snow, who sat in on the meeting in the president's private quarters, said it should not be overdramatized or seen as another 'marching up to Nixon,' a reference to the critical moment during Watergate in 1974 when key congressional Republicans went to the White House to tell President Richard M. Nixon that it was time to resign.
"'This is not one of those great cresting moments when party discontents are coming in to read the president the riot act,' he said. But Snow acknowledged that the meeting included some blunt, if respectful, discussion."
Here is video of Tim Russert describing the meeting to Brian Williams on NBC: "'Brian, all eyes on the Republican Party. How long will they support the president's position on the Iraq war?
"Yesterday may have been the defining, pivotal moment. At 2:30 in the afternoon, in the private quarters of the White House, the solarium room, 11 Republican congressmen had a private meeting with the president, the secretary of defense, the secretary of state, the chief political advisor, Karl Rove, and White House Press Secretary Tony Snow and others. This delegation was headed by Mark Kirk of Illinois and Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania.
"It was, in the words of one of the participants, the most unvarnished conversation they've ever had with the president. Another member said he has met with three presidents and never been so candid. They told the president, and one said, quote, 'My district is prepared for defeat. We need candor. We need honesty, Mr. President.' The president responded, 'I don't want to pass this off to another president. I don't want to pass this off, particularly, to a Democratic president' -- underscoring he understood how serious the situation was.
"Brian, the Republican congressman went on to say, 'The word about the war and its progress cannot come from the White House or even you, Mr. President. There's no longer any credibility. It has to come from Gen. Petraeus.'"

Vancouver orthodontist Dr Sam Daher is one of the world's leading experts in clear aligner treatment. Having performed more than 4,000 treatments with Invisalign, he currently runs two practices entirely specialised in this treatment modality in addition to his other four clinics. At the recent British Orthodontic Conference (BOC) in Brighton in the UK, where he presented a paper on open-bite treatment with clear aligners, Dental Tribune Online had the opportunity to speak with him about the benefits of digital technology, the future of clear aligners in general and his business model.
Vancouver orthodontist Dr Sam Daher is one of the world's leading experts in clear aligner treatment. Having performed more than 4,000 treatments with Invisalign, he currently runs two practices entirely specialised in this treatment modality in addition to his other four clinics. At the recent British Orthodontic Conference (BOC) in Brighton in the UK, where he presented a paper on open-bite treatment with clear aligners, Dental Tribune Online had the opportunity to speak with him about the benefits of digital technology, the future of clear aligners in general and his business model.
Dental Tribune Online: Dr Daher, this is the first time you have spoken at the BOC. How was your presentation received?
Dr Sam Daher: I have never been to the BOC, but I have spoken in London many times before. I can recall my first talk to a UK audience a couple of years ago. Back then, the interest in Invisalign was not what it is today, perhaps owing to a lack of faith in the system. Today, far more experience has been gleaned and we have seen much better results with it, so there is generally more interest from specialists. The attendance of my lecture here in Brighton was amazing. There is clearly much interest and far greater acceptance than before. Also, the questions posed were far more genuine.
Your presentation here in Brighton focused on open-bite treatment with clear aligners. Could you summarise some of your key points for our readers?
One of the main advantages of clear aligners is that with them we can control the vertical dimension. One of the worst things we can do in open-bite treatment is to allow the posterior teeth to push through. With clear aligners, we do not only prevent the posterior teeth from extruding, but actually intrude them a little, when needed, allowing us to control the vertical dimension and close the anterior open bite at a much faster rate than with any other fixed appliance as a matter of fact. Thus, what I aim for is to intrude the posterior teeth when there is already an anterior open bite. With both an anterior and posterior open bite, we create a mandible that simply autorotates and that will help close the anterior open bite.
ClinCheck and digital scanning have advanced clear aligner treatment. What impact have they had on digital technology in the field?
I have been using scanners for six years and have not taken one conventional impression since then. The first thing one notices when one starts using scanners is that aligners adapt so much better to the teeth because the scan is far more accurate. Second, it allows for an improved patient experience. Using polyvinyl siloxane material is always a hassle and a discomfort for the patient if the material gets into the mouth. Using scanners saves a great deal of time and is more comfortable for the patient.
Furthermore, with ClinCheck, which provides 3-D treatment planning, I am able to plan different approaches and then decide for myself. If I am still not certain, I can show the patient what each treatment outcome will look like and then let him or her decide. This way, it becomes an educational tool that can enhance patient compliance.
Aligner treatment is not without its critics. Is there any justification for this, in your opinion?
The aligner market has actually advanced quite a bit and this development is based on science, technology and experience. Aligners are custom made and that alone should be enough to elicit a positive response to aligners. What I personally like about this treatment modality is that the aligners do not apply a great deal of force, maybe 10, 20 or 30 g. Research has shown that this is the optimal amount of force; strong forces are not actually needed. Also, the clinical achievement is really in the hands of the orthodontist. There is very little downside to this as far as I am concerned.
There are certain shortfalls. For example, patient compliance and sometimes teeth do not move as one intended, but that happens with fixed braces too.
What was obvious here in Brighton is that orthodontics is at a crossroads. What role will clear aligners play in the future, in your opinion?
I believe—and I said that already five years ago—that in ten to 20 years, a much larger portion of our patients will be treated with aligners as opposed to fixed braces. Braces have allowed us to understand the biomechanics very well and aligners just take that same knowledge and apply it to invisible aligners.
The future role of clear aligners is also determined by patients asking for this treatment. Dentists not yet using aligners have had to learn this treatment modality and quickly. Thus, its role is definitely defined by a combination of technology improving quite nicely and patients requesting it as an aesthetic treatment modality, for example. I am sure that in the not-so-distant future half of all treatments will be done with aligners.
Where would you personally like to see aligner treatment heading in the future?
I think aligner suppliers need to provide auxiliaries as part of their systems too. At present, we obtain aligners from one company, but have to go elsewhere to obtain the elastics and mini-screws etc. In a few years, companies will hopefully offer a comprehensive package to allow dentists to plan much ahead of time.
Another area where clinicians could benefit is being able to use different materials for the start and the end of treatment—just like in conventional orthodontic treatment where we use NiTi at the start of treatment and stainless steel at the end. However, there is a great deal of improvement in this regard already.
You run two practices entirely focused on aligner treatment. What advice would you give a clinician who would like to switch to that business model?
It is important to first acquire the necessary clinical skills and become really comfortable using aligners. Treatment with aligners is not necessarily difficult, but it is a bit different, so it is necessary to become acquainted with it. The way to attain confidence is to treat enough patients––my guess is 1,000 or so. Once the clinician has become comfortable working with aligners, he or she can start thinking about switching.
Thank you very much for the interview.

Advice: Transitioning from the Military to Civilian Employment
1 comment:
I am sure You know some Good contacts that might be able to HELP OUT some Combat Vet's. I have looked into this across the USA and I am NOT the ONLY one affected by this.ReplyDelete
I am a 40% VA rated Combat Veteran of ( 2005-2006 )Operation Iraqi Freedom.
I am awaiting another VA claim from Aug 2012.
I was placed in the IRRR on Nov 2013,
I have been working for the Kilo-Roger co as a Butcher, for Over 28 yrs.( been back to work since returning home 2007). I have been demoted 2 times due to my physical injuries, I am not able to do the job I did before I went to Iraq. I was recently transferred to a new location because my supervisor (of 3 months time) had a problem with me confronting him on referring to me as a PATHETIC CRIPPLE and being LAZY and coming to the aide of some part-time employee's.
I believe My problems started After a manager Yelled at Me to " GET THAT SH!& OFF YOUR HAT", The SHI& he was talking about was My OIF Veteran hat along with my AMERICAN FLAG pin and my WWP pin. I asked for an apology and he said "No". I went to his boss and She said "I was Overreacting its just pins and a hat"
I have been at the previous location since 2008 with 2 different supervisor's and 3 different store manager's with NO PROBLEMS.
I am at the new location less than 3 weeks and I am terminated for being a Verbal Threat to Customer's ,Management staff & Fellow employee's! I talked about a video game called Assassins' Creed, I also was overheard asking a fellow hunting enthusiast "I like to go to the shooting range (in the winter I'm Not able to ride my Motorcycle) after a bad day at work, would you like to join me?"
I am asking for some help in Who to contact. They are treating me like I am going to SNAP from A PERCEIVED PTSD!!!
The Kilo-Roger co wants ALL of my Military, VA and Private Medical records.
This ALL took place on 22 FEB 2014.
In DEC 2014 I went through mediation with the UFCW Union and the( Hypocritical) Kilo-Roger co. I was portrayed as a Bat@#$% Crazy person that would SNAP & KILL these 2 people, ALL their relatives, and neighbors, do to A PERCEIVED PTSD!
I have been found Wrongfully terminated from Kilo- Roger by the Ohio Unemployment commission.
I have contacted ESGR, They said Kilo- Roger may or may not have done anything wrong, but since I am in the IRRR they dont handle this.
I have contacted CRC in Ohio, and I am still awaiting a decision, the time frame keeps getting extended.
I have filed with the EEOC in Ohio..
I have also filed with the ADA, the time frame keeps getting extended.
I am asking for some help in finding a JAG Officer (Ret.) that might be able to guide me in the right direction.
I am about to lose hope in dealing with this HYPOCRITICAL Kilo- Roger co.
P.S. The Kilo-Roger co is Now Retaliating against my fellow employees that have SUPPORTED Me from the beginning!!!
Thanks for your time.

Why is my browser not loading videos, pictures and pages anymore?
I have a strange problem. My internet usage is way below over, so I have a fine internet connection, yet when I try to watch videos on the internet, they will stop playing a couple seconds into the video and act as if that was the end of the video. if I try to make the video load, then it will just load forever and NEVER work. I also have issues when viewing images, some images are half loaded and look very strange (google images for example). Also, alot of th web pages I load up go straight to the page saying an error has occured. I really need help, I have had windows seven for a few months and have no viruses (that I know of).

Thanks suvro that brought a lot of questions up for me, if you don't mind to helping answer--I don't mind responses from others also.
Is that the restaurants here? Or is Bengali food of East Bengal actually, " much more oily, and most gravies taste the same with the same muddy texture"? Especially their home cooking? How does it compare to restaurants in Calcutta and West Bengal? You mentioned home cooking. Is Bengal part of South India? I always thought there were a lot of cultural similarities between South Indians and Bengalis, but I didn't think Bengalis considered themselves apart of South India.
Thanks for the recc-ies . . . Happy belated Independence Day for India . . .

The Brilliance release All Is Not Lost Featured
- font size decrease font size increase font size
If you saw and loved The Brilliance at Festival One last weekend, then I've got some news you'll love!
All Is Not Lost, their second full-length album is available now, and critics are calling it "the album you need to hear in 2017."
We're looking forward to sharing these new songs because we are in a season when, no matter what our political opinions or cultural biases, we all need to be reminded that 'All Is Not Lost,'" David said. "We need to remember to see The Divine in 'the other,' and to offer kindness and curiosity."
Critics are praising the duo for "shining a spotlight on cultural injustices," saying the album's content is "important" while also calling the release "beautiful" for its poetic lyrics and intricate string arrangements.
To hear more about the making of All Is Not Lost and the meaning behind each song, check out The Brilliance Podcast.
A version of this article was first posted to NewReleaseToday.com.

London, July 13: The four young men, one only 19 and another 22, who arrived at Kings Cross station at 8.30 am last Thursday, seemed so happy together. They were laughing and joking and carrying military-style rucksacks.
You would think they were going on a hiking holiday, commented a senior security source who saw them on closed-circuit television.
Without elaborate farewells, the four friends went their separate ways to blow themselves up, kill 52 other people and maim 700.
Britain is also pondering the deeper question: But they were British, one even liked cricket, what led them to become suicide bombers'
It seems likely the trail will lead to Pakistan.
Hasib Mir Hussain, 19, Shehzad Tanweer, 22, and Mohammed Sadique Khan, 30, were British Pakistanis from West Yorkshire.
The identity of the fourth is known to police but has not been announced. He is also thought to be British Pakistani from the same area.
Although their nationalities were British, the four lived in the parallel Pakistani universe that exists in Britain. Most who inhabit this world are normal, law-abiding citizens but a section of youth has been radicalised by events outside Yorkshire ' Britain even ' in Pakistan, Afghanistan, West Asia and eastern Europe.
At least Shehzad is known to have been to Pakistan. He said he went to Afghanistan for a couple of months and for four months he was in Pakistan, in Lahore. I know he went with a group of people from Beeston (in Leeds), all young, said a neighbour.
Shehzad is also as British as they come ' a cricket fanatic who helped out at his fathers fish and chip shop.
I cannot believe it, said his uncle Bashir Ahmed.
Today, the police are looking for the mastermind behind the operation because they do not think the four acted on their own without a wider support group. Fears are being expressed whether future suicide bombers have already been armed and instructed.
No timing devices were found when the bombs exploded, suggesting that the men were suicide bombers who detonated the explosives manually.
On Wednesday last week, the three from West Yorkshire drove to Luton railway station in a couple of hired cars. There they met the fourth man and the team caught an early morning train the next day to arrive at Kings Cross Thameslink station, about 100 yards from Kings Cross mainline station, at 8.30 am. CCTV caught them as they passed along a subway passage.
Their hired cars had been left at Luton railway station, along with some bomb-making equipment which police have now destroyed in 10 controlled explosions.
Over the next few weeks and months, a story will emerge linking these men to Pakistan, home to many militant groups, Afghanistan and the al Qaida network.

Release Candidate 1 is out!
Hey backers!
At long last, our first release candidate is out. This means that the game is finished and there are no major bugs that we know of!
Once you've had a chance to play with it a little bit, if you don't hit any major bugs, this will become our Gold build. Otherwise we'll continue making new release candidates until it's stable. We will then release it to Steam early access and get some feedback from a wider audience. After a short period there we will fully release it on Steam. In the meantime we'll continue working on some polish and minor bugs we know about it. We're also currently wrapping up work on a trailer that will go on that Steam page.
The game is already in your Humble Store account. Just log in to humble.com and you'll be able to download it.
If you find any bugs, please email me us at email@example.com with details on what you found. Enjoy!

PICTURED: Two teenagers dead at T in the Park named
THE names of two teenagers who died at the T in the Park Festival in Scotland yesterday have been named by police as an investigation into their death begins.
Megan Bell and Peter MaCallum, both 17, died in what police believe was a drug-related fatality.
Megan was believed to have travelled from her home in County Durham to the festival. Friends and famly played tribute to a "beautiful girl".
Peter from Lochgilphead, Argyll was involved in a seperate incident at the music festival at Strathallan Castle in Perthshire.
Another 18-year-old man has been taken to hospital in another drug-related incident.
Prior to a note of music being played, festival chiefs warned against using drugs.
A Twitter post from the company said: "Don't risk it - you don't know what's in drugs, where they came from, or how you'll react to them, steer clear.
"Be vigilant - drugs are illegal and dangerous. If you spot anything suspicious report it to stewards or a police officer.
"Don't delay - if you or your friends feel unwell, seek help immediately from any festival staff."
The festival has now set up a drugs amnesty, asking fun-seekers to not risk their lives.
8 July 2016
"It is essential that police establish exactly what happened and why"Liz Smith, Scottish Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife
Liz Smith, Scottish Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife, said: "This is tragic news and I am sure I echo the sentiments of everyone when we send condolences to the families involved.
"And, indeed, to the organisers of T in the Park who have worked hard this year to overcome last year's concerns about public safety.
"Clearly, an investigation now has to take place and I hope this will be undertaken as quickly as possible.
"It is essential that police establish exactly what happened and why."
Drugs amnesty bins at #TITP entrances - dispose of any illegal substances without risk of prosecution or exclusion #FestivalSafety— Police Scotland (@policescotland) July 8, 2016
This comes hours before The Stone Roses, Disclosure and James Morrison are set to perform.
A police statement said: "Police Scotland can confirm we are investigating reports of the death of a female and the separate death of a male at T in the Park.
"The deaths are unexplained at this time and work is ongoing to establish the exact circumstances surrounding both."
Festivalgoers started putting up their tents for the three-day event yesterday.
Last year a 36-year-old man died at the festival.
Festival director Geoff Ellis said: "We are shocked and saddened by today's news and our thoughts are with the families and friends at this time.
"We are offering our full support and assistance."
It is Scotland's biggest music festival, which attracts more than 80,000 revellers every year.
Calvin Harris and Bastille are headlining tomorrow.
The festival will finish on the 10th July.

A missing senior with dementia was found dead Wednesday afternoon.
RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk says people fishing in the Salmon Lake area found Barbara Derenowski, missing since Monday afternoon, and reported it to the Merritt RCMP detachment.
"Early indications appear that Barbara got her truck stuck in snow on a road that is not used during the winter. It appears she got out and walked and likely succumbed to the weather conditions," Molendyk says.
The death is under investigation by the B.C. Coroners Service and Merritt RCMP.
ENDERBY - Help is needed in locating a 73-year-old Enderby woman with dementia who has not been seen since Monday afternoon.
Barbara Nell Derenowski's care worker saw her March 2 at roughly 2:30 p.m. at Derenowski's home at 118 Salmon Arm Dr. in Enderby, but nobody has seen her since, according to an RCMP media release. Her blue 1998 Ford extended cab pickup truck with B.C. licence plate FF-5598 is also gone, though she doesn't have a valid driver's licence.
Derenowski is described as 5'9" tall with a medium build. Her dyed red hair is long, reaching the middle of her back, and is normally worn in a braid.
It's possible Derenowski has taken her cat Pinky with her to visit friends in the Oyama-Winfield area, but the exact address is unknown and she doesn't carry a cell phone. Derenowski has a ranching background and has also been talking about purchasing a ranch or a farm.
Her family is worried she may not remember where she lives, or any contact information, but believe she might remember she lives in Enderby.
Though Derenowski's vehicle is similar to the one in the photo, it may be a different shade of blue.

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Well the Evga one I have is still quite expensive around £240, I play BF3 on it occasionally, pretty much all settings on maximum and it runs very smooth, iirc its usually bouncing around 60 as I have V-sync on, and I think during heavy bits it drops to around 48-51fps, it's been a while since I tested it for fps. But it runs all the games I have very well and it runs pretty cool too, rarely gets above 50C in gaming.

Brett Vinson is a late-blooming prospect who came on strong at the end of his junior year.
The wide receiver and defensive back out of Hampton (Va.) Phoebus helped the school to a 9-3 record as they reached the regional finals. He went on to post 29 catches for 475 yards and eight touchdowns.
"He's a great athlete, he plays both ways and runs really good routes," Phoebus head coach William Dee said. "He can catch the short ball and run after it, he's very good at quick screens."
Article Continues Below
Dee said that Vinson really came on in the second half of the season and that's where most of his statistics came from.
So far Vinson has an offer from Kent State, but Virginia and Virginia Tech are showing an interest in the prospect.
"He's not getting a ton of mail yet, because he just came out this year," he said. "But he's a Division I player."
Besides being a top football player, Vinson is also a great basketball player who averages 20 points a game.

Writing beyond Prophecy
Emerson, Hawthorne, and Melville after the American Renaissance

Literary Studies | Literature - American
Writing beyond Prophecy offers a new interpretation of the American Renaissance by drawing attention to a cluster of later, rarely studied works by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville. Identifying a line of writing from Emerson's Conduct of Life to Hawthorne's posthumously published Elixir of Life manuscript to Melville's Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land, Martin Kevorkian demonstrates how these authors wrestled with their vocational calling.
Praise for Writing beyond Prophecy
"Writing beyond Prophecy makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of these three canonical writers precisely because Kevorkian is willfully, and always intelligently, outside the mainstream of recent scholarship. His excellent notes are marked by thorough and informative asides that place his readings of the texts in critical context, and his bibliography and index will be useful to students and scholars interested in the critical tradition that has read these authors as deeply religious thinkers. In placing the late Emerson, Hawthorne, and Melville alongside one another in a shared religious landscape, Kevorkian crafts a readable and informative narrative."—Nathaniel Hawthorne Review
"[Writing Beyond Prophecy] indicate[s] vistas to be explored in the interrelations of literary culture and religious belief during our post-secular age. [Its] value to readers extends beyond the specific insights [it] provide[s] to a critical perspective that can formulate new questions and require new sources of evidence."—Leviathan
"When Kevorkian turns to Hawthorne and Melville in the second and third chapters, the Hawthorne and Melville that we meet are always in a dialogue, implicit or explicit, with Emerson throughout his career. This gives Kevorkian's volume an impressive unity and compactness."—Studies in the Novel
"In Writing beyond Prophecy Martin Kevorkian provides an illuminating depiction of the American Renaissance encountering the Gilded Age, of romanticism colliding with modernity. Kevorkian contends that Emerson's later period, under scholarly reassessment for some two decades, suggests a corresponding pattern of anxiety, realignment, and crisis over literary vocation for both Hawthorne and Melville. Melville's Clarel emerges here as a telling transitional work. Writing beyond Prophecy is sure to stimulate a reassessment of the dramatically changing role of the author in nineteenth-century culture."—David M. Robinson, author of Emerson and the Conduct of Life
"Writing beyond Prophecy is a model of elegant writing. Kevorkian demonstrates why we must understand Emerson, Hawthorne, and Melville's literary development in terms of—rather than against—their early-career turns away from their faith traditions. Reviving Emerson's conception of 'holiness' as a kind of active thinking that enables creative production, Kevorkian calls our attention to the religious nature of the inspiration that called these writers down their literary paths. He exposes successfully and without polemics the trouble with current critical approaches that wish religion would just go away."—Jennifer Gurley, associate professor of English at Le Moyne College
"Kevorkian's Writing beyond Prophecy is a rich, acute, and admirably contrarian reading of the late turns of Emerson, Hawthorne, and Melville toward a spiritual re-centering, focused on the recovery of the ministerial role model. In prose notable for its candor and wit, this study argues persuasively that the 'aftermath' of the American Renaissance was less a period of authorial decline than a ripened occasion for questioning the isolation of the post-prophetic seeker."—Clark Davis, author of Hawthorne's Shyness: Ethics, Politics, and the Question of Engagement

Urgot Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Chapter 1
Seems simple enough to me, in all honesty i tried every Urgot build on this website, i have never made a guide before and i'm lazy so i wont explain how to play him, this is simply a build. I have not tried any pure carry guides but they are lost on me, his q does not crit, so the only understandable way to go would be youmomus with ionian boots armour reduction and bloodthirster's and that seems illogical since the chance u will get stacks are low when the enemy realise theres a squishy ad carry running about with nothing but flash/ghost to save him.
This build maximizes health mana and attack damage maintaining a healthy amount of armour and magic resist with enough health and mana regen to stay on the offence. It reaches 40.25% cdr which is just over cap allowing you that extra Q on locked on target.
I understand most people feel the need to build brutalizer first and go for first blood but in the end of the day if you are mid your job is to level and deny and last hit, ganking is stupid and if they extend you can R them into turret for a kill, you are too susceptible to ganks from both lanes. if you are laning top/bot hopefully with another person you are able to drop people in seconds with assistance. urgots strength lies in the ability to harrass from a rediculous range and gank on turrets. if you want to play an ad carry play one, that is not urgots role.
There are some other items that can fill certain spots, the reverie could be replaced by Soul Shroud or Warmogs or Frozen Mallet. My AD at 18 with this build is about 270, this is high, especially for someone running 2.8k health over 200 armour and over 100 mr.
Please leave constructive comments since i am not a great player and i want to adapt this guide for the better, has anyone tested trinity force on urgot? i find his range forbids him to bother auto attacking often enough but i have not built pure ad.

Unanswered: IRowsetIndex()::Seek in SQL CE
Dear All,
I'm working in eVC++3.0 with SQL CE2.0.
I've developed the application to fetch the data from the mdf file by passing the index field and using the command IRowsetIndex():eek.
Consider TableExample with Columns A,B,C,D and index Index1 with column A and Index2 with column B,C,D.
Its working fine when index1 is passed for the indexvalue.But when i pass index2 of the same table,its throwing the error as BADINDEX.
I'm passing the correct keyvalues in the Seek command also.
Kindly help me in this regard.

We've found out the solution for this probelm where we created a seperate accessor for the index columns and used that accessor for the Seek method() and not the table's own accessor.

'It's crazy' Furious MP fumes after small town named 'murder capital' of Britain
A HISTORIC market town has been dubbed the "murder capital" of England and Wales – and one MP is not particularly happy.
Boston in Lincolnshire was named officially the most murderous place in Britain, according to new research.
The sleepy town had 15 murders, attempted murders and conspiracy to murder cases per 100,000 people between September 2014 and September 2015.
But Boston MP Matt Warman was not happy with the verdict.
He said: "It's crazy it makes no statistical sense. You can't just scale up the numbers like that.
"This is why, for instance, you will not find league tables that compare Boston small schools to Boston big schools.
"You can't just say if you have got 10 people and one murder you are going to be the most murderous place in the country.
"I do believe that we should be sensible and have appropriate health warnings about the misuse of data."
"It's crazy, it makes no statistical sense. You can't just scale up the numbers like that"MP Matt Warman
He added: "The danger with those sorts of stories, is they provide evidence to people who want to push a certain agenda and that's deeply unfair for all of us."
The top 10 "murder towns" were rounded up following the release of crime figures by the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
And the list is full of small, quiet and remote towns and affluent cities.
Prosperous cathedral city Gloucester and quiet Amber Valley in Derbyshire made the grim list.
While Blackpool, which may be famed for being a party town and popular seaside resort – came third.
Worryingly, the total number of murders in England and Wales increased by 14% from 502 to 573 between September 2014 and September 2015.
The most murderous places in England and Wales
Boston – 10 crimes, 15 per 100,000 people
City of London – 1 crime, 12.4 per 100,000 people
Gloucester – 10 crimes, 8 per 100,000 people
Blackpool – 11 crimes, 7.8 per 100,000 people
Lincoln – 7 crimes, 7.3 per 100,000 people
Manchester – 33 crimes, 6.3 per 100,000 people
Salford – 15 crimes, 6.2 per 100,000 people
Rochdale – 13 crimes, 6.1 per 100,000 people
Hackney – 15 crimes, 5.7 per 100,000 people
Amber Valley – 7 crimes, 5.6 per 100,000 people

If I'm being completely honest I was quite surprised by the way my EDCMOOC peers responded to the Arthur C. Clarke quote about replacing teachers with machines. Things like:
The artefact touches on the topic of digital education and the value (or not) of humans as educators in a high tech world where robots and machines are fast replacing humans due to their superior ability to minimize or even eliminate error.
Woah, steady guys!
People think this is a particularly dystopian idea but I want to suggest it is really a utopian one that will empower learners and teachers alike to be more efficient.
This is my radical proposal: computers do some things really well, and human beings do other things really well.
Simple enough, right? But let's unpack this a bit more.
Putting aside all the future projections of sentient robots for the time being, as it stands computers can only really do what we tell them to do. When your spell check software for example takes what you typed and suggests something else it isn't because it has had some epiphany about what you meant. It is because someone (that is, a human being) created a database of words and set of instructions about how the program should use them.
Similarly when you take a photograph with automatic settings, the camera isn't making any creative decisions. It is receiving data from its sensor and following the instructions it was given when it was created (again, by a human being).
Computation, mathematics, following sets of instructions — even with elaborate if/then conditions — are things computers can do really well. (Have you figured out where I am going with this yet?) Things that can be automated probably should be.
There is an old programming adage, "Don't reinvent the wheel." The idea is that you don't pour your time and energy into creating things that already exist. Instead you strive to build upon them, or you create exciting new things. Programmers create their own libraries of code or use those created by other people so they can be more efficient and more creative in other areas.
There is a lot of hype surrounding the idea of the 'flipped classroom' where the instruction takes place generally at home (generally online) and the homework takes place in the classroom. Where this works it is because the repetitive part of this task — how you, as the teacher, explain the material — has been automated (often as a recorded video) and the random part — how well the learner receives and understands this material and can use it — is still manual.
[It is probably worth pausing for a moment to really take that in. Your learner is the random part of this equation. Though you may prefer to use the word 'unique.' They have their own talents, skills, life experiences and learning preferences.]
The homework part of this flipped classroom experience could be known as other things. It could be known as 'face-to-face' time. It could be known as learner feedback. It is about establishing what the learner received and what they missed from the subject content. It is about employing strategies to bridge gaps in the learner's understanding and skills, strategies that are specific to individual learners. This could be relating new concepts to prior learning and experiences. This could involve building conceptual models and metaphors on the fly. This could be getting back to fundamentals. Perhaps with an advanced enough algorithm this is something a computer could do in the future but for the time being these skills (observing, communicating, relating, etc.) seem incredibly human.
I want to go further though. Automating { mundane / repetitive / administrative } tasks frees you up to be more human. If a computer is marking a student's response to what two plus two might equal it frees you up as the teacher to consider more nuanced, more human, things — such as the themes in a novel or the real world applications for a technology. Technology can support us to be more inventive, more creative and more exploratory.
This shouldn't be as shocking as it might seem to some. We have already seen it take place during the Industrial Revolution as assembly line workers were replaced by machines. It was certainly disruptive but it wasn't the end of the world. Indeed it was the beginning of a whole new set of possibilities.

The command dd if=debian-live.img of=/dev/sda does infact three things: * writing a bootsector, * writing a partition table and * writing the actual files into /dev/sda1 After that, you only should add partitions.

100 Mile
Enjoy the complete Bike the Brandywine experience! Following both the East and West Branch of this historic and scenic waterway, the 100-mile loop will guide you from Chadds Ford all the way to the creek's headwaters in bucolic Honey Brook Township. The route will return to Chadds Ford along the East Branch of the creek. Along the way riders will experience iconic Western Chester County vistas including the Conservancy's King Ranch area (home of the famous Whip Tavern).The route treats riders to countless views of the Brandywine, bucolic landscapes, rich history, and active farmland, some of which the Brandywine Conservancy has helped preserve for future generations. Come along with us on a ride that will stimulate the senses and foster an appreciation of our shared natural and historic heritage.
Highlights include:
- King Ranch
- Hibernia Park
- Honey Brook Borough
- Struble Lake
- Springton Manor
- Struble Trail
- Historic Marshallton
- Stroud Preserve
50 Mile
The 50-mile route gives riders looking for a shorter Brandywine experience a route that also follows both branches of the creek. Also starting in Chadds Ford, this route follows the West Branch (and 100-mile route) to The Laurels and then crosses through the valley to reach the creek's East Branch just south of Downingtown, via Modena, where it rejoins the 100 mile route and visits the historic village of Marshallton. Experiencing the rich history, incredible vistas, and bucolic countryside, riders on the 50-mile route should expect to feel inspired by their journey and feel connected to our shared natural and historic heritage embodied by the route. Although this route has less mileage and is less challenging than the century route, riders are encouraged to train appropriately for this athletic event to ensure the most enjoyable ride day.
25 Mile
The 25-mile route provides an exciting introduction to the Brandywine Creek Greenway for the recreational cyclist. Closely mirroring the early routes of both the 100 and 50 mile routes, the 25 mile route follows the West Branch Brandywine Creek through open farmland and scenic river valleys. A route that provides a trip through the historic village of Marshallton, past one of the oldest barns in Pennsylvania and through areas of the historic Brandywine Battlefield is sure to excite the senses of any cyclist.
Q. Is this is a race?
A. No. There is no timing of riders or awards for getting back first. The ride is designed to be enjoyed at a pace that allows you to take in the beautiful scenery and landscapes that you will pass along the way.
Q. Does the ride take place if the weather isn't great?
A. Yes. The ride takes place RAIN or SHINE. In the event of rain, you are advised to take extra care as roads may become slippery, especially going downhill or in areas of painted road. In wet conditions, gentle pumping of your breaks is safer than applying sudden and heavy force to your break. It is also safer to favor your rear break in wet conditions as you are less likely to lose control. During a storm that may produce lightning, riders are encouraged to take shelter until the storm passes. All support services will continue in wet weather.
Q. Does anything cancel the ride?
A. In the unlikely event of flooding and/or hurricane/tropical storm warnings, the ride will likely be canceled. Organizers will make every effort to keep riders informed in the days leading up to the ride if such conditions look likely. Unfortunately, registration fees are non-refundable if the ride is canceled.
Q. Will the roads be closed for the event?
A. No. This is an open road event so you can expect to be sharing the road with motorists. Event organizers have chosen a route that utilizes some of the quieter roads of the Brandywine watershed, so traffic should be relatively light. Event organizers will also post signs along some of the busier roads prior to the ride warning motorists that cyclists will be utilizing the roadways during the ride time. The ride also highlights two major paved multi-use trails in the area (E. Branch Brandywine Trail and the Struble Trail) so those sections will be free of motorized vehicles. Major intersections will be policed by volunteers or a flagger force to ensure the safety of riders.
Q. Are the rides hilly? And will I need to train for this event?
A. Those who are familiar with Chester County will know that we are blessed to live in an area with varied terrain. While the rides are not extremely hilly as we have tried our best to follow the Brandywine Creek as much as possible, there are several hills on all routes. However, these routes are less hilly than many other routes you could travel in the Brandywine valley. The general elevation gain for each ride is shown below:
- 25 Mile - around 1,500 ft. of elevation
- 50 Mile - around 3,200 ft. of elevation
- 100 Mile - around 6,000 ft. of elevation
Riding fifty or one-hundred miles is a considerable undertaking, even for a seasoned cyclist, so you should plan on preparing in advance for the event with some training. Training over a course of a couple of months, with longer rides on the weekends, will put you in a position to enjoy the ride to the fullest. Those undertaking the shorter route should also plan on a training schedule to get the most from the day.
Q. I registered, but am no longer able to do the ride. Can I receive a refund?
A. Sorry, but registration fees are non-refundable. You are still welcome to collect your event t-shirt at either packet pick-up or the day of the ride.
Q. My t-shirt doesn't quite fit. Can I exchange it for another size?
A. Sorry, but t-shirts are ordered based on the size you designated on the registration form, so no extras are available.
Q. Are there maps and cue sheets for the ride?
A. Maps and cue sheets will be made available on the website around a week before the ride, and each rider packet will also contain a cue sheet for the ride the registrant selected. A downloadable .gpx file will also be available on the website during the week leading up to the ride.
Q. What should I have with me for the ride?
1) Helmet – all riders must wear a helmet to participate in the ride.
2) Water bottles or hydration pack. Rest stops and the start location will have water and Gatorade to refill your bottles or hydration pack.
3) Spare tubes, patch kit, tire irons, pump or compressed air – SAG vehicles will have some spare items, but replacing items yourself will likely get you back on the road faster.
4) Ride-provided cue sheet. The cue sheet will help supplement ride signs and road marking along the way. It will also have emergency contact information.
4) Cell phone – this will allow you to communicate with ride organizers and/or the HELP number along the route. It'll also help you track your ride with Strava or other application.
5) ID and any medical cards – just in case of an emergency.
6) Appropriate clothing for the weather.
7) Sunscreen.
8) Any specific snacks you may want to enjoy between rest stops (or if you have dietary restrictions).
Q. What should I NOT bring with me for the ride?
1) Headphones. Riding with earbuds or headphones is strictly forbidden on the ride and is also against the law.
2) Your own support vehicle – in order to minimize the number of additional vehicles on the ride route and to maintain safety for all riders, having personal vehicles follow riders on the route is prohibited.
Q. What support services can I expect on the ride?
A. Rest stops will be provided approximately every 10-20 miles, depending upon route. Rest stops will have hydration and nutrition available to riders, bathroom facilities, a first aid kit, and communication with both Support and Gear Vehicles (SAG) and ride headquarters.
Q. What if I have mechanical issues along the route?
A. All riders should carry spare tubes, a patch kit, tire irons, and either a pump or air canisters to fix flats along the way. SAG vehicles will be traveling the course to help with more serious mechanical issues, and they will respond as quickly as they are able to, but they may be tending to someone else when you need them. You may also contact the HELP number on your cue sheet and ride organizers will do their best to assist you. You should be aware that serious mechanical issues may result in you having to abandon the ride. If this is the case, a support vehicle will bring you back to the start location in Chadds Ford. Again, these vehicles will be covering a wide geography, so please be patient as it may be some time before a vehicle reaches you.
Q. What if I feel I can't complete the ride?
A. Your Cue Sheet contains a HELP number that you should contact if you feel that you are unable to complete the ride. Ride organizers will help in summoning a SAG or other vehicle to collect you and bring you back to the start. Given the wide geography of the ride, this may entail first being brought to the closest rest stop where another vehicle could collect you and transport you back to Chadds Ford. Support vehicles will also be traversing the route throughout the day and if they see a rider who is clearly in distress or in need of help they will stop and provide whatever support is needed. Your safety and well-being are our top concerns.
Q. What happens if I have an accident on the course?
A. For serious accidents and injuries, your first response should be to call 911 (it is best to ride with a cell phone for this reason).
For minor injuries and accidents, please follow the advice given in the previous FAQ. If the injury is minor, and you feel you can continue onto the next rest stop, first aid kits will be available there, as well as communication to ride headquarters and SAG vehicles.
For information on volunteering with the ride, please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 610.388.8377.

Nepal is an explorer's paradise. People are drawn here by the snow-capped mountaintops of the Himalayas, the allure of Kathmandu's magical temples and the promise of beautiful and diverse landscapes.
Whether you are after an adrenaline filled adventure or a reflective personal journey, there is something for everyone in Nepal.
Although the country is home to an estimated 61 ethnic groups with 125 different languages, Nepal's overall structure is dominated by Hinduism and a highly rigid caste system. Members of lower castes, women and ethnic minorities are among the most vulnerable groups in Nepalese society.
Literacy rates are strikingly low, hovering at about 50 percent overall, 25 percent for women and 18 percent for lower caste groups.
Addressing such inequalities and ensuring that development is equally distributed across disadvantaged groups is essential for the long term stability of Nepal.
To learn how you can help give families in Nepal a brighter future, see our list of upcoming builds.
