STUDY – OCD repair augmentation study in dogs
Professor Outi Vapaavuori's group is performing a study with the COPLA Scaffold™ for the surgical treatment of dog shoulder osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) at the University of Helsinki Veterinary Teaching Hospital. This is the first use of this technique in dog patients.
The COPLA Scaffold™ is placed during regular OCD surgery in the cartilage lesion, recreating immediately a smooth joint surface. The COPLA Scaffold™ provides for the cartilage-forming cells an optimal environment to attach and ultimately regenerate natural healthy cartilage as the implant slowly degrades.
The expected benefits are a faster recovery and long-term prevention of osteoarthritis compared with the current standard surgical technique.
This study aims to recruit 20 dog patients to operate 10 of them with the standard technique and 10 with the experimental technique. The costs of the implant and follow-up sessions are covered. The cost of the arthroscopic treatment is partially covered and therefore the cost for the owner is 955 euros. Physiotherapy sessions and post-surgery medications are decided case by case and paid separately by the dog owner. The owners of the dogs and the veterinary team evaluating the results will not be aware of the allotment of the dogs in the standard group or experimental group until the end of the study. The dogs suitable for inclusion in the trial are:
– Breed or type Border Collie, Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Hovawart, Rottweiler, Doberman, Beauceron.
– Confirmed diagnosis by X-ray or CT-scan of shoulder OCD with indication for surgical treatment with a lesion of at least 6 mm diameter.
– Age between 5 and 8 months old.
– With unilateral or bilateral lesion.
– Available for a period of 1 year and a half to be presented at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Viikki for a screening visit, the surgery and 5 follow-up sessions.

"A man called police on Wednesday night after he came home from work and spotted an intoxicated woman drinking a beer on the roof of his home. The 28-year-old woman was taken into custody after she refused to get down and leave. The police report said the woman agreed to leave only if the man agreed to give her more beer."
The Associated Press (AP)
When the average person feels like drinking a beer, he plops down in front of his TV or he ambles over to the nearest pub.
But this crazy lady felt like there was no better place to nurse a beer than on the roof of a stranger`s house.
When I come home after a hard day`s work, I simply want to relax. I don`t want to deal with any drama like discovering that my home has been burglarized or finding a lady on my roof drinking a beer.
I`ve never been confronted with this homeowner`s dilemma, and I wonder what I would do if confronted by such a weird scenario. The AP article doesn`t include a photo of the beer-drinking trespasser, but if an attractive lady mistook the roof of my house for a bar I might just climb up and join her. I`m just kidding, I`m not that hard up for a date.
One thing I would not do is demand that she come down. The drunk lady would probably fall and break her neck, and after litigation she would be living in my home drinking beer in my living room.
I guess I would have no choice, but to immediately call the police, and pray that she doesn`t fall down before they arrive.

So, I did take a snowshoe hike through the forest Friday, all the way to the back of the property. Lots of rabbit and deer tracks. No sign of their owners yet. Nice to be out in nature again, especially the sort of nature I grew up with.
Sick today, some sort of throat infection; Sarana has it as well.
Many visitors, both from the Sri Lankan community and the indigenous Canadian Buddhist population.
My hut has a floor in it this morning, and the door is going on as I type. Some paint, a carpet, and electric fixtures and it should be moveinable.
Another video to upload last night, bringing the total backlog to seven. Should start uploading Wednesday.
Happy Monday everyone :)

Bateshov Yerzhan, Assan Dinara
Nowadays there are the following hypothesizes of the Moon formation: combined formation of the Moon and the Earth, the Moon capture by the Earth, the Moon formation as a result of celestial body hit on the Earth and others. We suggest a new hypothesis of the Moon formation.
At the beginning of XIX century German astronomer W.Olbers advanced a hypothesis that a planet, called the Phaeton later, existed between the Mars and the Jupiter. For some unknown reasons this planet was fallen to pieces and turned into zone of small planets — irregularly shaped celestial bodies – asteroids.
If there was the planet between the Mars and the Jupiter, this planet must have crust, mantle and core.
After the explosion the Phaeton broke to pieces with its crust, mantle and core. All was mixed. Aftergetting into outer space, parts of liquid core and mantle with some elements of crust like any liquid became ball-shaped.
Probably this way the Moon, the Mercury and may be other satellites came into being. On the earliest level of its development the Moon was almost completely fused, i.e. it was liquid. That fact brought it to its substance differentiation and plagioclases as more light components floated to the surface, hardened and formed the Moon's crust.
The same process was on the Mercury.
That happened about after the explosion of the Phaeton. Just then the Moon wasn't still a satellite of the Earth and the Mercury didn't have a present-day orbit around the Sun. For million years these planets developed their trajectories in the solar system until they got stabilized. All that time they were constantly hit by the ruins of the Phaeton planet. That's why the Mercury is far from the zone of asteroids now – "the main supplier" of meteorites and its surface has a great number of craters of impact origin.
A similar fortune of the both planets is seen on the landscapes of these "twins". In 1974 American spacecraft "Mariner-10" sent a photo of the Mercury surface and surprised scientists very much. There was a typical lunar landscape with different craters, mountains and flat areas — lunar seas with basalt composition like on the Moon.
There are some more arguments telling that the explosion formed the Moon:
- The conclusion is in the literature (l.3 p.261), it means that mass distribution on surface layers is dissimilar as exact observation for movement of artificial satellites showed that they move at different speed over some areas of the Moon surface. That fact proves that the explosion created the Moon.
- Analysis of crystalline rocks structure brings to conclusion that they have been completely fused and then quickly frozen. And it is possible to suppose that inside the Phaeton at high temperatures crystalline rocks were frozen immediately (l.1 p. 175; l.3 p. 262).
- In 1998 Americans discovered water ice on the Moon (official information from NASA).
- The Moon average density is close to the average of not dense substance of the Earth mantle and perhaps of the planet of the Earth's group — Phaeton (l.4 p.155).
- The Moon doesn't have magnetic field but at the same time there was fount residual magnetization of lunar rocks. So in the past they were liable to strong magnetic field. (l.1 p.176; l.7 p.207).
- Let's try to explain the process of mascons creation – big meteorites on the bottom of a lunar crater. If big meteorites, being met by the Earth at high speed, explode and their pieces are scattered all over the surroundings so there is no ground to suppose that crateriform meteorites can be in the form of big mass on the bottom of a lunar crater (l.4 p.153-154). However it is possible to admit that some meteorites being met by the Moon moved slowly comparing to the Moon and then the Moon was of tight silicate rock and that's why they came into its surface with little destruction. The speed of meteorites is not big because some meteorites overtook the Moon and hits were weak.
- The hypothesis of the Moon capture by the Earth was first offered by American geophysicist Harold Yuriy in 1962. He considers that in the past the Moon was one of the planets of the solar system. But this fact is improbable as for becoming a satellite, a celestial body passing by the Earth should change the direction of its speed at some definite moment (l.6 pp. 158-159). In our case the Moon was not one of the planets of the solar system and didn't have a certain trajectory around the Sun, its trajectory was constantly developing and finally was captured by the Earth.
The issue of the Moon and the Mercury origin will be always interesting for scientists. The version in this article is only hypothesis of similar origin of these planets. A big difference of the planets structure shows that probably the Mercury is mostly consists of the Phaeton core and the Moon — of the Phaeton mantle.
Hypothesizes Evidence.
There is the following argumentation of our conclusions.
The Mars has a red color owing to ferric oxide. In particular ferric oxides cover the planet with a thick layer and Soviet and American spacecrafts took many colored photos of stony desserts covered with red ferriferous sand. On these photos we can see that the depth of "the red" on the craters is for many kilometers. "Rust" on the surface of the planet is a unique phenomenon in the solar system. Indeed water and atmosphere with a great concentration of free oxygen are necessary for ferric corrosion of rock materials.
The present atmosphere of the Mars is greatly dense, the pressure on the Mars surface is about 0,6% of the atmosphere pressure on the Earth surface and it has only 0,1 % of oxygen. And it is not enough for turning the Mars into the Red Planet. It means that the Mars has turned red before. How much oxygen has been necessary for that? 500 trillions tons of oxygen is necessary only for 100 meters weathering crust, so "rust" could appear only if there have been some woods on the Mars before!
Furthermore there have been rivers on the Mars (traces of river-beds and inflows on the photos) and lakes (layers of sediments which are similar to the lakes on the Earth); and it have rained (according to configuration of some gutters on mountainsides of the Mars). Besides in 2002 NASA officially informed about the existence of water ice on the Mars. From physics we know the less pressure the lower boiling point of water. In the present atmosphere of the Mars water must boil at the temperature +2°С and therefore it can't be in liquid state on the Mars.
What's the origin of the rivers, the gutters and the lakes? So in the past the Mars could have more stronger atmosphere and after its destruction the planet turned into cold waterless world. The atmosphere disappeared for a very short period as according to calculations of geologist P. Kettermould (University of Sheffield) – a sudden catastrophic flood broke system of flood-control canals (25 kilometers wide and 2000 kilometers long).
What was the reason of the climate changing?
Not only between the Sun and the planets there are gravitational interacting forces, the explosion of one planet can destroy the interaction harmony of all the planets and bring to the change of climate on them. So the nearer the planet was the Phaeton the stronger climate changes were on the Mars.
There is such a term in physics – «inertness». Characteristic of inertness is that a body needs some time for speed changing.
When the Phaeton exploded the Mars changed its trajectory. Meanwhile the Mars atmosphere owing to inertness didn't have time to change its speed so that it could overtake the planet. And notwithstanding gravitational forces a big part of the atmosphere separates from the planet into the space.
It is possible to suppose:
- The Phaeton exploded. It wasn't destroyed gradually as the Mars couldn't increase its speed so fast as to destroy its own atmosphere.
- The Phaeton explosion was irregular from all the sides otherwise the center of gravity of the ex-planet would stay on its previous place and the Mars wouldn't change its trajectory abruptly.
- The Phaeton explosion happened approximately when the Mars was within the minimum distance from it.
What changes happened on the Earth? The climate on the Earth, which was after the Mars, was getting colder (don't mix with the ice ages). Probably it happened 65 million years ago when all dinosaurs died out. Being coldblooded they needed solar heat. When their huge bodies got cool they needed time to warm themselves and many of them died.
Approximately at the same period abrupt changes happened in the plant world of the Earth. In the middle of Age of Reptiles and at the beginning of Cretaceous period Gymnosperms reached their fullest flower, conifer plants are included in this group. But at the end of Cretaceous period metasperms became the first and the Earth was quickly covered with deciduous woods.
Simultaneously 65 million years ago in the Earth crust great orogenic processes started which changed the landscape of its surface.
Now let's prove the connection of the Moon capture by the Earth and the ice ages.
For the last millions years the northern areas of our planet were under a thick icy layer several times and for many thousand years winters were long and cold and snow and ice didn't melt even in summer. According to up-to-date scientific data 1/5 part of the Earth was covered with icy mass. Present glaciers cannot be compared to the great glaciations of our planet. They occupy only 15 million square kilometers, i.e. 1/30 part of the Earth surface. So that great glaciation had really planetary phenomenon and consequently the reasons could be great too.
As it have been proved above the Moon and the Mercury were created from one planet. The orbits of these both planets were developing. Over the last million years the Moon probably passed by the Earth several times and it was the reason of great changing on the Earth. And so the change of the shape and inclination of the orbit to ecliptic plane of the Earth became the reason of ice ages.
12-13 thousand years ago according to the hypothesis of Austrian scientist Gerbiger the Moon was caught by the Earth and it brought to geological changes – great glaciations stopped and flow gain of the Gulf Stream in the northern hemishpere.
In the reports of laboratory «Inversor» (journal "Tekhnika molodyozhi") in January 1978 an original hypothesis of geodetic-engineer T. Massenko was published. He thinks that elevated parts of the Earth fit with big hollows of the Moon i.e. there is interdependency of "cavity and concavity". This dependency is inverse for all comparing levels of the parts of the surfaces and for their location ( if eastern longitude on the Earth it is western on the Moon and vice versa). For example western group of lunar seas (Ocean of Storms and others) are similar to Asia by configuration, Sea of rains reminds of Europe and Sea of clouds – southernmost tip of Africa. Eastern group of lunar seas (Sea of serenity and Sea of tranquility) are like Northern and Southern America. So the lunar seas with their configuration are similar to the Earth continents.
The Moon studies were continued by chief geologist of "Belskogeoservis" JSC V.Chernykh in journal "Zhak voprossa" №2, 1997. He believed that during the Moon capture by the Earth the Moon itself was badly changed. Its surface was partly damaged and broken pieces of the Moon lithosphere uncovered deeper and it means more melanocratic rocks. Nowadays we can see these lunar sea-hollows with mafic rocks on their bottoms on the Moon.
Pieces of the Moon ground fell on the Earth as meteorites and some of them that didn't have time enough to burn in the atmosphere are known as tektites at present.
There is the last news of astronomers proving our hypothesis. Traces of rivers and seas were found on the Mars (http://news.mail.ru/society/4571187/).
Cyber Security informs us with the following: BERLIN, October 10, 2010. German scientists discovered traces of a big sea on the Mars. Specialists explored region Melas Chasma, located 9 kilometers lower the main surface of the Red Planet, and discovered that low parts of Melas Chasma abruptly go down forming almost plumb canyon.
Recently this region was studied by astronomers with the help of stereo cameras of high resolution and spectrographs, fixed on orbiters Mars Express and found out that this region is one of the coldest ones on the Mars.
Melas Chasma is extended for about 4000 kilometers and according to the whole perimeter of the canyon there are many evidences that they constantly contacted with water in the past.
So Melas Chasma — is the bottom of a big sea of the Mars, which have existed for a few milliards years ago. In the area of the supposed sea there were a great number of canals where probably water was running. Specialists point out that on the sides of the canyon as well as on the bottom of these canals there are many light sulfide compounds, which appear as a result of oxidation by water attack.
At first the region Melas Chasma was explored by orbiter Mars Express in the middle of 2006 and already at that time it was suggested there have been the sea milliards years ago.
Now at closer examination specialists discovered typical rounded lithoidal rocks which turned into these ones as a result contacting with water. Besides presumably on some parts of Melas Chasma mad bottom deposits were found, also proving water presence in the past. During the last researches scientists found out that inside Melas Chasma there were considerable height variation.
For height finding on the Earth scientists use sea level but as there is no sea on the Mars and they take for zero level an average height of some big plateaus. Average of these figures is called an areoid.
In case with Melas Chasma the lowerest point was situated over 5 kilometers lower than an areoid. At the same time the nearest plateau is 4 kilometers higher than an areoid. Let's remember that scientists have already proved the hypothesis that there was a huge lake (2 thousand kilometers diameter and 8 kilometers depth) on the Mars. Nowadays plain Ellas is situated on southern hemisphere of the planet. Scientists from Institute of Planetology in the charge of Lesley Blimaster made a geological map of the region.
It was based on the data of many sondes of the Mars. With the help of this map scientists were able to match geological data with the former researches and set the time of the supposed lake.
Earlier scientists discovered that water on the Mars was suitable for living because it had neutral pH. In 2005 Mars rover "Spirit" on the way from Husband-hill stopped at the entrance of rock which Komanchi was called later. Researches of this rock were started in all available ways.
It was found out that "concentration of Komanchi carbonates (16-34% on mass) could appear only in one case — water existence with neutral pH that proves life existence on the Mars in its past", — to this conclusion scientists came in the work, published in journal "Science".
"It is one of the most important discoveries, made by rovers. Carbonates presences on the Mars tell us that there have been conditions favourable for life", explained one of participants, Steve Skaers, from Mars rover "Spirit" and "Opportunity". And it means that there was dense atmosphere on the Mars in the past.
In conclusion we'd like to mention that in our scientific project we studied only one hypothesis of the Phaeton existence. The result of the destruction was the formation of the Mercury and the Moon.
Also the explosion of the Phaeton can explain other events of cosmic and planetary scale and make a logic chain of them. There are: the disappearance of dense atmosphere on the Mars, the climate changing on the Earth 65 million years ago, extinction of dinosaurs, glacial period (1 million years ago) and others.

U.S. Lets Red Cross See Seized Iranians
Thursday, April 5, 2007
BAGHDAD, April 4 -- The U.S. military has allowed the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit five Iranian officials who were detained in Iraq nearly three months ago on suspicion of plotting against American and Iraqi forces.
A Red Cross delegation that included one Iranian citizen visited the detainees, and a request for a formal consular visit with them is "being assessed at this time" by the U.S. military, said Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell, the top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq.
In a briefing for reporters Wednesday, Caldwell did not say when the visit took place or whether it was connected to the case of the 15 British sailors and marines detained by Iran on March 23; Iran subsequently announced that they would be released.
The Iraqi government has called for the release of the five Iranians, who were captured during a U.S. military raid in January on an office providing consular services in the Kurdish city of Irbil.
A spokeswoman for the ICRC, Dorothea Krimitsas, confirmed that her organization had visited the Iranian officials but declined to provide details. In general, she said, such inspections involve multiple visits, and information about the detainees' treatment is discussed privately with the "detaining authorities."
News of the visit came a day after the Iraqi government confirmed that an Iranian diplomat, Jalal Sharafi, who was abducted Feb. 4 in downtown Baghdad by people dressed in military uniforms, had been freed. The back-to-back developments raised questions about whether they were connected to the diplomatic crisis involving Britain and Iran. U.S. and Iraqi officials denied that Sharafi's release was related.
During an international conference held in Baghdad in March, Iranian representatives discussed the issue of the five detainees with Zalmay Khalilzad, then the U.S. ambassador, and "there were promises to solve it in a friendly way," Ali Dabbagh, an Iraqi government spokesman, told reporters Wednesday in Baghdad.
"We don't want these relations to affect the situation in Iraq," he said.
The Americans have accused the Iranians of being members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's al-Quds Force, which is said to be active in arming and training militant movements in the Middle East. At the time of their capture, the Iranians were without passports and attempting to flush documents down a toilet, U.S. officials have said.
In a separate development Wednesday, two members of radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's bloc in the Iraqi parliament were said to be removed from the powerful political alliance because they held meetings with Americans, according to the head of Sadr's parliamentary bloc.
Nasar al-Rubaie, a leader of the 30-person alliance of Shiite lawmakers loyal to Sadr, said that the two legislators, Salam al-Maliki and Qusay Abdul Wahab, violated "clear instructions" by meeting with the unspecified Americans.
"If there is any kind of meeting between someone and the occupation, he will be rejected by Moqtada al-Sadr himself," Rubaie said.

MORE than 100 jobs are to be created as a nursing and residential home opens.
Family-owned care home operator Colten Care will be welcoming residents at Wellington Grange, in Chichester from today.
The 72-bedroom home, by the corner of Broyle Road and Wellington Road, is the company's largest so far.
When it reaches full capacity, it will create up to 120 jobs for nurses, healthcare assistants, activity organisers, social carers and other ancillary staff.
Facilities include an in-house cinema, hairdressing salon, Brandy Hole library, Royal Sussex Dining Room and Sandpiper Bistro.
Clare Gibson, home manager, said: 'Wellington Grange offers beautiful, creative interior spaces, imaginatively landscaped gardens, delicious homemade food and state-of-the-art facilities, all underpinned by exceptional care standards. We want to help our residents and their friends and families find comfort and enjoyment in each day.'
At 4,138sq m, Wellington Grange is the largest out of its 20 homes Colten Care has built so far. It took nearly two years to build, and employed 426 site workers.
Colten Care, based in Lymington, Hampshire, has been in business for 30 years and it owns and runs 19 care homes in Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire, offering residential, nursing and dementia care. T
he mayor of Chichester, councillor Peter Budge, was due to open the care home today at 11.30am.
An open day is taking place next Wednesday, April 13, from 11.30am, where people can go on tours, as well as meeting TV health presenter and author Dr Hilary Jones.

Actor Lil Win has expressed his anger at some happenings at the just ended Shatta Wale For Peace Concert in Kumasi.
Explaining why angry, Lil Win told Sammy Flex on Pluzz FM that Shatta Wale's manager prevented him from performing at the event even though he was billed to perform.
According to the Kumawood actor, he together with his team was there and ready to perform even before his schedule but was denied access to the stage.
"I eventually had to perform without my songs because the DJ refused to play them. Then they put off my microphone so I had to start dashing out my clothes to the fans who were dying to see me on stage," Lil Win stated.
However, Shatta Wale's manager, Chris Conney, has denied witnessing such incident but promised that he will try and get in touch with Lil Win's management to settle the matter.

Opinion, by Michael Royster
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – "Summertime, and the livin' is easy. Fish are jumpin'…" George Gershwin knew all about Brazilian politics. On the summery first day of March 2012, President Dilma ("the Big D") should have been ashamed of herself. Sadly, she wasn't, according to her doppelganger Ideli (the "Little D").
One day later, at a ceremony transferring the command of the Ministry of Fishing and Aquiculture, the Big D milked out a tear, but it wasn't from shame. She was sad she'd summarily sacked, for the second time in less than a year, one of her most faithful PT supporters.
Lula ("the Big Squid") created this pointless, useless Ministry, just as he invented ten other new ministries, thus swelling the school of bottom-feeders from 26 to 37.
His first appointee was a political scientist; his second was a veterinarian. When the Big D took office she appointed the Little D (a physicist), then demoted a metalworker from a more visible Ministry.
What do the political scientist, veterinarian, physicist and metalworker have in common, other than not knowing anything at all about fish? They're all PT party faithful, and all singularly unsuccessful in getting elected to any public office at all, even after Lula led PT out of the shallows into richer, more krill-filled thalassic streams.
New appointee Marcelo Crivella, a Civil Engineer, is a seahorse of a different color. Although admittedly a fish out of water in matters piscicultural, he knows how to be elected—before this Poseidon adventure, he was Senator from the State of Rio.
More to the point, he is a standard bearer of one of the "minnow" parties the Big Squid was able to drag into his electoral net—PRB. The Little D's justification for handing him his trident, calling him Neptune and throwing him into the deep end, was that PRB had not yet had any ministries to paddle around in.
Not coincidentally, PRB is the private preserve of the soi-disant "evangelical wing" of the Brazilian Congress -a group of religious rightists who make Rick Santorum look downright Darwinesque. PRB have been loudly unhappy with the liberal leanings of many of the Big D's cohorts, and are threatening to run their own candidate for mayor of São Paulo, thus siphoning off votes from the Big Squid's candidate.
Now that PRB have received their own small bucket of chum, it's expected that the PRB mayoralty candidate will throw himself on his swordfish and drift discreetly down into the depths.
The Ministry of Fishing and Aquiculture is the bottom of the deep blue seafood chain in terms of patronage. It only turns over some R$150 million per annum; that's a lot higher than the R$7 million a few years ago, but it's still pocket change compared to, say, the Ministry of Transports. So, no matter how hard the new Lord High Angler tries, he's got very few worms to put on his hook.
The Curmudgeon knows that not a single one of the prior ministers has done anything positive for the fishing industry or for individual Brazilian commercial fishermen. What it has done is employ hundreds of PT faithful, and present projects designed to enrich those who will support PT candidates with their rake-offs.
That, in a nutshell, is what is wrong about the Big Squid's coalition strategy, now endorsed by the Bid D—every party receives a Ministry it can plunder for cash.
Michael Royster, aka THE CURMUDGEON first saw Rio forty-plus years ago, moved here thirty-plus years ago, still loves it, notwithstanding being a charter member of the most persecuted minority in (North) America today, the WASPs (google it!)(get over it!)

A record number of submission to ECAI 2016 Frank van Harmelen
(ECAI 2016 General Chair)
With 663 submissions (640 long papers and 23 short ones), ECAI 2016 has
received the highest number of submissions ever. That's almost 100 long papers more than 2014, which was itself a record year. This is a remarkable success in the first year where there is both an IJCAI conference, an AAAI conference and an ECAI conference. Program Chairs Maria Fox and Gal Kaminka will work hard with their 44 senior PC members and 398 regular PC members to provide all the papers with at least 3 reviews before May 24, when the author rebuttal period will start.
The main conference programme will take place Wednesday 31 July – Friday 2 August, and before there will be 2 days filled with 21 workshops, 8 tutorials and
5 spotlight tutorials on Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 July.
An important innovation this year was that we encouraged authors to resubmit rejected IJCAI papers together with the IJCAI reviews plus an explanation of how they improved the paper based on those reviews. We hope that this will lead to a culture in our field where papers are shepherded between conferences to improve over time, instead of receiving a new set of disconnected reviews at each new conference. We have received 79 of such papers, indicating that this model is well received by the community.
The theme of this year's conference is "AI for human values" and it has resonated very well with the AI community. The special track on this theme has received 19 submissions, and there will be workshops on ethics in the design of multiYagents, on normative agents, on diversity aware AI and on integrating values in the design process. Furthermore, IEEE have chosen ECAI 2016 as the location for
their "Values by Design" summit (invitation only), followed by a session on Monday open to all ECAI participants where IEEE will present its "Values by Design" declaration. Finally, on Thursday we will host a public event in the Peace Palace, the home of the International Court of Justice, where leading AI researchers, prominent opinion leaders and the general public will discuss the theme of AI for human values.
With Michael Bratman (University of Stanford), Jeff Rosenschein (Hebrew
University of Jerusalem), MarieYChristine Rousset (Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble), and Michael Zillich (Technical University of Vienna) ECAI 2016 has an excellent set of invited speakers, whose keynotes alone will be worth attending the conference for.
ECAI 2016 will be coYlocated with the tenth International Conference on Collective Intentionality, a major event for philosophers and AI researchers, and we have secured free access for ECAI delegates to all the sessions of the Collective Intentionality conference.
Local Chairs Virginia Dignum and Frank Dignum have worked tirelessly over the past year to organise an excellent conference venue, at a very reasonable registration fee: among the major AI conferences, ECAI has the lowest registration rates by far, rates as low as €195 for EurAI PhD students (and that includes even free lunches during all conference days ). At the conference venue we can also offer additional meeting rooms for ad hoc getYtogethers or preY planned meetings. If you want to use ECAI as the location for a meeting of your EU consortium, or for an international working group, please get in touch with the local chairs. The Thursday night promises to become memorable for the beach party and barbecue that has been planned at the renowned Scheveningen beach resort. We look forward to welcoming all of you in the beautiful city of The Hague, which is within easy reach of Amsterdam Schiphol airport, and well connected to the European railway network.
See www.ecai2016.org for details about registration, the workshop and tutorial
programme, the invited speakers and much more.

AA Patterns for Point Sets with Controlled Spectral Properties
Wednesday, 04 November: 11:00 - 12:45
We use AA-Patterns -- ornamental point patterns of number-theoretic nature -- as quasi-random point sets, and adapt them to match a wide range of spectral profiles. We demonstrate that these patterns outperform tiling methods in many aspects.

Now is the time when the cobalt blue bells of Scilla sprout up everywhere around the farm. There are hundreds of blossoms in the most unlikely places-scrabbling between rocks and tree roots, among others- with more coming every year.
Spreading by seed, the winds blow their tiny offerings far and wide. So much so they can eventually cover acres, given enough time. But like most good things they don't last long. So now is the time when I excitedly grab my camera to capture their brief, unique beauty.

There are two types of guys. Those who take so long to get ready that they put some of us girls to shame, and those who simply don't. Whichever category you fall into, here are some lady-approved tips for you to keep in mind when getting ready.
1. On Shaving:
To shave or not to shave? We polled a few girls around the office to get an opinion, and the majority were in favor of a little stubble. Girls can have their opinions and like what they want, but what this really comes down to is how immaculate your beard-growing power is.
Basically, we love whatever kind of facial hair looks good on you. But don't keep it around if it's not doing you any favors. We suggest keeping yourself well groomed with anything from The Art of Shaving.
2. Your New Shower Buddy
Right, just so we're clear, we said shower buddy, and not "shower daddy."
Drum roll please: Your new shower buddy is a loofah! Yes, seriously. You're not above loofahs. Stop it. Have you ever even tried one? Give it a try and after, when all spots on your back previously untouched are squeaky clean and free of bacne, I will gladly re-debate this issue with you.
They're not the prettiest looking things, but you can find them in a lot of varieties at Target, Wal-Mart, or if you're feeling bold, Bath & Body Works.
3. Stop Drying Your Heart Out
It's not a shower unless there is soap. We recommend using Dove soap (which is totally not just a woman's soap) because it moisturizes as well as it cleans.
It's great if you're prone to super dry skin, and available at your local drug store.
4. Smell Ya Later
Hair products and your choice of cologne both fall under the category of "less is more." It's important to avoid leaving everyone you walk by in a wake of your pungent scent. If you leave a room, and the room still smells like you, you're doing something wrong. If people can tell where you walked if you leave a path of scent, you're doing it wrong.
If you're unsure of what cologne suits your mojo best, here's a tip: Go to the mall and try one on at a department store. Walk around for about a half hour in order to let the cologne fully set in. If you like it by the time you're done shopping (or walking around wasting time), then go back and pick it up.
5. Hairy Situation
Nothing looks as good as you do after a fresh cut that you're into. Know what you want before the barber adjusts his clippers and you end up in bald city (when thought you were going to emerge looking like David Beckham.) And don't be afraid to let your barber tell you what kind of style would look best on you. The best part about hair? It grows back.

AUTHOR: RRMiller TourismROI
Every time a visitor sets foot in an ecotourism site, he/she causes a negative impact. This is an unavoidable fact of life. An ecotourism program will initiate many public use activities that will have impacts, both positive and negative. An Ecotourism Management Plan enables the minimization of the negative impacts and ensures that they are outweighed by the positive ones.
The monitoring and managing of visitor impacts are fundamental ecotourism management strategies but ones that are most frequently left unattended. If you do not know what effects your ecotourism activities are having upon the site's natural environment and the surrounding communities, then you cannot say that you are being successful.
Careful monitoring of impacts, both positive and negative, needs to be a primary activity of the site's overall management activities. Monitoring costs money and requires trained personnel and the assistance of interested stakeholders.
The first methods developed to address tourism impacts evolved from the concept of carrying capacity, which originated in the field of range management.
Several definitions of carrying capacity have been offered depending on how and where the concept was applied (Ceballos-Lascuráin, 1996). Initially, it was used only to indicate how much tourism activity was too much. Researchers began to realize that looking only at numbers of visitors was not sufficient. They demonstrated that what visitors did, when they did it and a number of other circumstances were frequently more important in determining visitor impacts than simply the number of visitors. In other words, there is no direct correlation between numbers of visitors and negative impacts that affect soil, vegetation, wildlife or other people's experience at the site.
The degree of impact depends upon on many variables in addition to the amount of use: the degree of site hardening (making site trails, landings, overlooks resistant to erosion); the motivations and behaviours of visitors; the mode of visitor transport and lodging; the effectiveness of guides; and the season(s) in which most use occurs. Therefore, when managers use the term "carrying capacity" they usually are referring to this more broadly-defined meaning: "the amount and type of use that an area can sustain before impacts become unacceptable." The more simple and straightforward concept of carrying capacity — limiting numbers of visitors — can sometimes be used as a solution for mitigating impacts in restricted, small-scale situations, but not usually on a protected area basis or large ecotourism site situation.
There are two very good methodologies that can be used to monitor visitor impacts: "Measures of Success" and "Limits of Acceptable Change." Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC) has evolved specifically to allow tourism to address the shortcomings of the carrying capacity concept, although it has been applied to more general management situations. Measures of Success can be applied to any management planning

Our brain is programmed to distinguish between the real and the unreal. When the unreal blends into the reality, however, it's not always easy to judge. In the end, we would simply believe in what we think is real. Or perhaps, what we want the reality to be.

The Open Range™ Pit Smoker will handle most outdoor cooking needs for families and is the most popular model. Cleverly designed charcoal unit uses the same concepts of an offset smoker, but it works better. There is a front firebox and grill that has two air intakes and a damper that runs the entire length of the firebox that controls smoke and heat to the smoke-box. There is also an exhaust damper at the top of the smoke-box. It is so easy to use and turns out some of the best barbecue you will ever eat!
You can even grill and smoke at the same time. A model with adjustable charcoal grate is available for better heat control when grilling. Made from 11 and 14 gauge steel, it has two large wheels, a removable ash pan, drip pan and side trays.
The Open Range is the reversible smoker box lid. The smoker box lid hinges on two bolts, which once those bolts are removed with little effort, just reverse the lid and put them back in. This is accomplished in very little time with minimal fuss. Again, the reversible lid comes standard and the only option for you to decide is which configuration works for you. On top of all this, the smoker box lid has a locking mechanism to ensure that your smoker is closed tight and into place.
The Good One Open Range comes standard with high-temp powder-coat paint providing protection, improved durability, and a nice clean finish.
The separate smoking chamber is located above and behind the firebox which is ideal for indirect cooking anything from ribs to brisket without the hot-spots commonly found on side-firebox smokers. How does the Good One avoid those hot-spots? An internal damper runs the entire length the grill so heat and smoke are distributed evenly from the firebox into the upper smoking chamber. The twist-style air intakes on the bottom of the firebox make temperature adjustments simple and repeatable. Best of all, the removable drop-in ash pan and charcoal grate assembly, clean up is a breeze. The Open Range is built for some serious duty, the lids are even made from robust 14-gauge steel!

Himachal Pradesh Steel Scam
BJP has accused the former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh for indulging in an 'open-and-shut' case of corruption by taking bribe from a private power firm for granting it a 10-month extension to complete a project. The then leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley has written to the then Prime Minister Manamohan Singh demanding a CBI probe into the issue. He has has enclosed 20 documents along with the letter to the PM. The letter said Venture Energy and Technology Pvt Ltd had defaulted on a contract awarded in 2002 concerning hydropower project work in Himachal Pradesh but was given an extension to complete the job. When Virbhadra became the CM again, the cabinet granted a 10-month extension. It was also been alleged that Virbhadra Singh and his wife has received an unsecured loan of Rs 2.4 crores and Rs. 1.5 crores respectively from Vakamulla Chandrashekhar promoter of the company.

Though he has vowed not to negotiate, President Obama has invited congressional leaders from both Parties to the White House this afternoon to talk things over.
The meeting, to be held at 5:30 pm, will include House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The White House is denying this is a negotiation. Republicans are saying this IS a negotiation.
Kind of sounds like a negotiation.
UPDATE: Officials emerged from the meeting saying no progress had been made.

It is not a question of "If"; it is a question of "when" and "how". Every study will tell you that it is impossible to tax your way out of a debt problem. The more the Scranton government raises taxes, the more people leave the city. This in turns decreases their tax base which means they will have to raise taxes higher to recoup losses. If you couple that with a rapidly declining, and aging, population, you have a situation where Scranton will definitely run out of money.
Harvesting Organs
The city of Scranton is being leased and sold for parts until the fateful day when it completely runs out of money. Currently, the Scranton government has to do things like sell government assets and borrow money just to stay afloat. This will inevitably lead to high fees for residents since for-profit entities are in the business of making money. As far these non-profits, what is in it for them to be so generous? Also, why does Scranton government give up a key asset, if that same asset is worthless? Who would buy it? I say that an investigation needs to be made to find out who exactly sits on the board of these non-profits and who owns shares in these private companies. I am certain that the findings would be interesting. Thus, we have another case of the Scranton government serving everyone but the Scranton people.
The Proper Course
The proper course of action for the Scranton government is to file bankruptcy and create a plan to make the city economically stronger. This of course would take courage and a spine. It would mean boldly declaring what everyone knows to be true. It would mean fighting the unions and reigning in on taxes and excessive cost. It would require strategic thinking and innovative planning. Fundamentally, it would require a completely different government. One that is competent and actually capable of getting things done. Again, it isn't difficult to copy cities that have succeeded and attempt to duplicate their success. The city of Scranton can incorporate countless of ideas to make it an economic powerhouse. But of course, that would mean stopping the back door dealings that are far too prevalent in this government. Jobs should be given to people based on talent and ability, not who they know. Opportunities should be made available even if it means the possibility that other people will prosper. In high tide, all the ships rise. We should want to live in a city where everyone has the opportunity to be economically successful. Experimentation and innovation is the key to increase wealth. Consider how the invention of the car shaped Detroit. Instead of complaining about the loss of one invention or industry, we can always create new and better ones. This would mean jobs for the countless students who attend the schools in this area. This would mean better schools and rising home values. This is possible but first the Status quo has to go!

DATE: January 16, 2013
Emergency airworthiness directive (AD) 2013-02-51 is sent to owners and operators of The
Boeing Company Model 787-8 airplanes.
This emergency AD was prompted by recent incidents involving lithium ion battery failures
that resulted in release of flammable electrolytes, heat damage, and smoke on two Model 787-8
airplanes. The cause of these failures is currently under investigation. These conditions, if not
corrected, could result in damage to critical systems and structures, and the potential for fire in the
electrical compartment.
FAA's Determination
We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant information and determined the
unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type
AD Requirements
This AD requires modification of the battery system, or other actions, in accordance with a
method approved by the Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA.
Interim Action
We consider this AD interim action. As the investigation progresses, we might determine that
additional action is necessary.
With these words, the FAA has grounded the most revolutionary new airliner in the skies – the Boeing 787. While only a relatively few (approximately 50) of the new aircraft have been delivered, most to foreign airlines and about 6 to United Airlines, the grounding is unprecedented in modern times. Historically, all new airliners have been subject to growing pains, and over time the bugs are resolved. But never has such drastic action been taken by the FAA. The 787 is the first airliner developed by Boeing with extensive participation by an international development team. The 787 team consists of Italy, Canada, Australia, Japan, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, and Korea. Japan supplies Boeing with the lithium ion batteries (and a lot more) that appear to be the cause of the grounding. Is it possible that the manufacturing quality control standards and processes that have made Boeing the premiere designer and builder of modern airliners cannot be maintained with an extensive international development team? Is documentation from the Japanese battery supplier, which presumably certifies that the battery meets every Boeing specification and has passed every test required by Boeing, enough to assure the same quality as if Boeing certified and tested the battery itself? Are there implications with regard to other systems and structures in the aircraft which were manufactured by Alenia Aeronautics (Italy) or Messier-Dowty (France), for example. Probably not, and hopefully the investigation prompted by the battery fires will determine a root cause related to something other than quality control. But, what if? Personally, I remain a Boeing loyalist. If it's not Boeing, I ain't going.

Too Sober for Bourbon St.
I don't drink much. I've been drunk a grand total of once in my life. It wasn't pleasant, so I don't feel like repeating the experience. So what would I be doing on the famous Bourbon St. in New Orleans?
We had to go to Jefferson Parrish, Louisiana for the worst of family emergencies, but were determined to appreciate a bit of the scenery despite the sadness each day brought. Certainly, the Big Easy is a good place to forget your troubles. So we tried some local cuisine, and wandered the streets. One restaurant had a guy playing a trumpet out a window to attract patrons. Street musicians, sometimes entire bands, were common, and most of them were very good. You can hear Bourbon Street from about two blocks away. The street is lined with bars and strip clubs and a few souvenir shops thrown in for good measure. Every bar blares music out open windows and doors, to the point where you can barely differentiate one song from the next. During the day, it's chaotic. At night, it's like one giant party stretching well over 10 blocks. Every night is Mardi Gras.
I got a frozen daiquiri from a bar called Jester's in a plastic cup as long as my forearm. They gave up some jester beads with the drink, which I was happy to add to my growing collection. No, I did not lift my shirt for the beads. On every side, people crowded overhead balconies and tossed beads to those of us below. Gene kept getting hit in the head with them. I guess I was the original target, though I didn't actually see anyone throw them to me. Not being proud, I picked up several off the ground. Why not? I ended up with quite a collection that way.
As for my Jester Daiquiri, it never seemed to get any lower. Must have been the slushy ice melting. Either that, or I really am a lightweight. One thing I can say is that everyone was very friendly and nice. With all those people crowding the streets, there was plenty of bumping around, but also plenty of shoulder patting and congeniality. I can't imagine that happening in New York. It reminded me a little of New Year's in London. The whole city seemed happy and ready to party. Wow.
The crowd was more eclectic than I expected. It was made up mostly of 20 – 25 year old party animals dressed the way you would expect, but plenty of older people around retirement age wandered the streets too. Several bookish looking young women wove through the crowd, and a few Asian tourists photographed their kids surrounded by all the lights and mayhem. In the middle of it all, an evangelist group held large crosses and handed out pamphlets to the drunken carousers. That reminded me of a group of republicans who came to a Michael Moore speech back in 2004. Some people are confident enough to go anywhere.
And what about me? I'm not the noisy, partying type. I don't expect, nor require attention from strangers. (Except of course when it comes to reading my books – and maybe my blog?) When I start to get too buzzed, I switch to Coke or Pepsi and look for food. I love live music, but like to actually be able to sit and listen to it, as opposed to barely being able to distinguish it from the general cacophony of the area. The heat and humidity was unbelievable, and I just wanted to get back to the hotel and wash off the city grime.
So, Bourbon St. is not for me. It was interesting to see and experience, but once was probably enough. We did party all that night, as appropriate for our last night in New Orleans. Ended up in the hotel bar, singing "Hey Jude" and "Piano Man" until the sun rose. Staggered up to the room and eventually onto the plane back to Philadelphia. As much as I gripe about New Jersey, I was happy to come back. Cliché or not, there's no place like home.

The 2018 Nissan Qashqai will most likely included numerous updates. This popular crossover is among the leaders in the section of compact crossovers. It initially was available in 2006. For these more than a years of production, we have seen 2 generations of it. The existing model exists because 2013. It is definitely one of the leaders in class, but the company feels that it is a best timing for some revisions, which will make this fancy-looking crossover even much better. It is still unidentified which exact changes will come with 2018 Qashqai, however our company believe that it will be a classic mid-cycle refresh. This essentially suggests that the majority of the modifications will can be found in regards to styling and more equipment, which the mechanical element of the car most likely will not feature significant changes.
2018 Nissan Qashqai Changes
The 2018 Nissan Qashqai will include numerous changes, if we can trust these reports on the web. The present model is present for about four years, which show that updates are welcome. We believe that this update will be a classic mid-cycle refresh. So, most of the changes will be available in terms of styling. The existing overall shape will remain the exact same, but there are definitely many brand-new information to come. One of the most of the modifications will naturally come at the front. We expect to see numerous details on parts like grille, bumper, headlights etc. Other parts of the vehicle will likewise receive some novelties, but definitely with a smaller sized strength. When it concerns the interior, we don't anticipate larger design modifications. The general appearance of the cabin will remain the very same, which control panel could get some modest revisions.
2018 Nissan Qashqai Engines
The 2018 Nissan Qashqai will come without changes when it concerns powertrain. It will include plenty of engines in the offer, and all of them are just amazing. When it comes to gas systems, there are 3 choices. The tiniest one is a 1.2-liter system, which has a max output of 115 horses and 140 pound-feet of torque. The next one is a 1.6-liter engine, which is good for about 160 horse power and 177 pound-feet of torque. Lastly, the is a 2.0-liter system, which has a max output of 148 horse power and 148 pound-feet of torque.
2018 Nissan Qashqai Release Date and Price
The 2018 Nissan Qashqai will come late in the year, with the starting cost around 23.000 dollars. When it comes to competition, there are models like Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, VW Tiguan and lots of others.

Late Summer gathering and collecting. This week: sumac leaves (for a mordant recipe); mahonia berries (for dye); and lavender from the garden. I used up some walnut dip-dyed linen to make these sachets.
Has anyone else been harvesting and gathering?
Lovely ! No, I didn't harvested any lavender this summer, it was too busier a summer this year. Hopefully next year.
Beautiful sachets (from what I can see of them !)

Hi hezzer926. What dose of Malarone are you taking? Rifampin can interfere with the absorption of Malarone. Did DR. R. discuss this with you?
How long have you been on the new protocol? Do you think you could be herxing? Did you experience the same type of headache previously from Babesiosis?
hezzer926, I wonder why your doctor is only prescribing one Malarone daily. From what I understand, Rifampin can decrease it's effectiveness by as much as 50%. You may want to talk with your doctor about this.
If this is the same type of headache that you had from Babesiosis before, it may be from it now. I suggest calling your doctor to let him/her know what you are experiencing.

text: Do you suffer from the loss of one or more teeth? With dental implants, you can receive strong and natural looking tooth replacement. At The Silverstrom Group, we can complete every aspect of the implant procedure in-house, saving time and money. In today's blog, your Livingston dentists, Dr. David Silverstrom and Dr. Gary Silverstrom, discuss the steps you should take to ensure proper healing and comfort following the initial placement of a dental implant. Placing the Implants First, Dr. David or Gary Silverstrom will perform a thorough examination of your smile. They must make sure you have the proper amount of bone tissue to support an implant. If not, you may require a bone graft. Otherwise, an implant post will be inserted directly into the jawbone. Once placed, the area will need to heal. As the area heals, the bone tissue will bond with the post, securing your implant. This process is known as osseointegration. Post-Operative Instructions As with any surgical procedure, you may experience mild discomfort following the placement of the implants. The pain medication prescribed to you may make you drowsy, so avoid driving or engaging in strenuous activity for the first 48-72 hours. Don't smoke and try to eat only soft foods, nothing spicy or crunchy. You may try smoothies, mashed potatoes, yogurt, fish, oatmeal, or soup. In addition, you need to take plenty of fluids, but avoid anything carbonated or containing alcohol. YourLivingston NJ general dentists also recommend using a cold compress to control swelling and rinsing frequently with salt-water keep the area clean. Following the procedure, we will provide more detailed instructions. Schedule an Appointment with Your Livingston NJ General Dentists Do you have any further questions or concerns regarding our post-operative instructions?
