1. I try to remember to look in U.S. City Directories when I am researching ancestors in the 1900s. I found Hattie with no problem on Ancestry.
In the Elmira, New York, City Directory for 1914:
I wondered who was she boarding with? Was she living with family or did she just rent a room? When I looked further, on the same page even, I saw another Coolbaugh at the same address and realized that was her son Charles.
In the Ithaca, New York, City Directory, for 1930:
3. I decided not to search by a name but by putting in the name of the City and the address under Key Words:
I found a listing of people at that address or a similar address but no names were familiar.
4. I decided to go back and look at who Hattie's children were. I knew there were no Coolbaughs on the page. What about her daughters? What were their married names? I started with Amanda and I saw she married Ira Cooper. As I looked down the list when I searched 502 N Plain….there was Ira Cooper and wife Amanda! Wait…but this was in the 1927 City Directory for Hattie Coolbaugh and that hadn't come up when I searched for Hattie by her name. Interesting!
In the Ithaca, New York, City Directory, for 1927:
5. Now what if I go back to the 1930 City Directory for Hattie that previously came up and try this again to see who she was 'rooming' with?
So now I know:
- in 1910 Hattie and Portis were living in Genoa Town with their daughter Nettie and family.
- in 1914 she lived in Elmira with her son Charles
- from 1925 until her death in 1930 she lived with her daughter Amanda and family in Ithaca
If you have any corrections or additions or stories to share I look forward to hearing them.
Enjoy the journey,

Unsung Heroes: Ms. Aceves
April 7, 2017
Do you remember your elementary school lunch staff? Do you even know the faces of your high school lunch staff today? Maybe you can recall them wearing a hairnet or an apron, but behind those counters are individuals who are far unrecognized in the role they serve.
Sandra Aceves is the nutrition services supervisor at the Arcadia High School cafeteria. Some of her daily tasks include managing other employees, creating menu items, and serving lunch.
Sandra explained why she chose to work in the Arcadia Unified District, and how it is incomparable to the rest. "Arcadia Unified is very involved with students. I've noticed that in this community, everyone takes more pride in their work than I've seen in the other districts. Arcadia provides amazing opportunities and programs for amazing students. They're all very well-mannered and considerate. I enjoy coming to work every day."
Serving the students and earning their satisfaction is a large reward to Sandra. "I love hearing students say they love the menus or a food we provide becomes their new favorite thing. I enjoy making them happy."
"The best part of my job is serving lunch. It's nice to see familiar faces and hear about the new things happening on campus; they help me to stay connected. I always like to hear the things they're interested in," Sandra adds.
Sandra claims that the hardest part about her job isn't necessarily having to deal with littered floors or milk spillage, but rather a problem that occurs at a larger scale. "The most difficult part about my job is having to come up with menus that comply with the ever-changing state and federal guidelines. It seems to me that every year, there are more restrictions."
However, students can play their part to make Sandra's job a little easier. "I wish students would have their ID cards on them so that way, it helps more students to eat faster."
Nonetheless, Sandra's biggest priority are the students and making sure they receive quality food. "I like hearing positive feedback from students. It inspires me to make more menu items, like putting out the fruit cups and hearing students say they like them. It helps me to add more products they'd like to eat," she says.
It's easy to take something, or someone, for granted when it becomes a daily occurrence. We often forget the impact of their existence because it is now a regularity, and even expected. Take a moment to acknowledge the people who make your day a little easier. It is these kitchen, custodial, counseling, and library staff who make up an integral piece of the school system. These are the unsung heroes who create the biggest differences with the littlest recognition. It's time we give back.

HRWF (30.11.2017) – On 28 November, a Belgian court announced that it had struck down an effort to deport an imam at Belgium's oldest mosque, saying that Belgian immigration authorities had not provided sufficient evidence to prove that the cleric posed a serious threat to society. On the next day, the Belgian state secretary for asylum and migration, Theo Francken, announced that he would appeal to the Council of State against this ruling.
The Egyptian imam in question, Abdelhadi Sewif, has worked at the Grand Mosque of Brussels for 13 years, where 850 students attend religious and Arabic-language classes. When Sewif attempted to renew his residence permit, his application was rejected due to Theo Francken's accusations that he threatens Belgium's national security. Sewif has denied the accusations and has said that he was never able to review the evidence against him, because it was classified intelligence material.
The Grand Mosque of Brussels and community center, Belgium's biggest and oldest site of Muslim worship, is run by the controversial World Muslim League which has its seat in Mecca (Saudi Arabia) and whose Secretary General is the former Minister of Justice of Saudi Arabia…
A Belgian parliamentary inquiry commission, established after the double terrorist attack in Brussels in 2016, included in the recommendations of its October report (*), among other things, that the government should break the Saudi government's 99-year rent-free lease on the mosque.
The lease was handed to Saudi King Faisal in 1969 as a goodwill gesture by Belgian King Baudouin.
Officials in Belgium now say that the mosque is a hotbed for Saudi-backed Islamist extremism. Servais Verherstraeten, one of the leaders of the parliamentary commission, said that the mosque's leaders "are trying to live in their splendid isolation with a radical point of view, and their aim is not to integrate into our society. And that is a big problem."
Belgian lawmakers and counterterrorism officials have raised concerns about the unusual arrangement of foreign control of the mosque, which they say makes it less accountable to national authority. The Grand Mosque has indeed never asked to be officially recognized by the Belgian State, which would entail transparency and control of the authorities.
"We want in Belgium an Islam practiced by people who respect our constitution, who want to integrate into our country," Verherstraeten said. "There is the perception that there is something to hide in the most important mosque in the country."
During the hearings of the parliamentary commission, there was a consensus among the experts to say that the Islam promoted by the Grand Mosque is from the Salafist-Wahhabi current with a strong influence of the worldview of the Muslim Brotherhood. This conception of Islam, they said, rejects "the others" who do not share their teachings and leads to individual and collective self-isolation, marginalization and ghettoization. In Belgium, Salafist-Wahhabism aims to unify the various Sunni communities around their interpretation of Islam. (**)
As Prime News International explains:
"The sudden move against the Grand Mosque underscores the challenge for Western European leaders seeking to [create] what they call a home-grown "European Islam" that endorses pluralistic values. For too long, many officials say, they have stood by as imams preaching the ultraconservative interpretation of Islam favored by clerics in Saudi Arabia and Qatar have worked among their populations, encouraging the frustrated descendants of North African immigrants to isolate themselves from society."

I've dined at Paradise Dynasty at Lot 1, so this one at Orchard just feels that little bit more of grandeur and that bit more space. Otherwise, the menu is the same.
|three eggs side dish
The chinese name for this dish sounded like 'horse brain' something something. Even the wait staff couldn't pronounce the last two words. Anyway, the it looked pretty but taste wise, so so. Friend found it too salty, but I just thought the salted egg yolk part was hard. Not something that I'd order again.
|drunken chicken
Biased towards chicken, what more chicken thigh. If you like cold smooth, tender chicken thigh with that bit of chinese wine taste, then this dish did alright.
|stir fried spinach with garlic bits
Spinach was nice as it was served piping hot. Stalks were tender and easy to eat.
|Shanghai fried rice
Orhh..Shanghai fried rice has soy sauce in it. Have tried the preserved vege fried rice and seafood fried rice. Actually preferred those. The rice here that night was a tad too dry and dense.
|seafood la mian
Between Shanghai fried rice and Seafood la mian, I'd recommend the la mian. Though it's seafood ingredients, the soup tasted like pork bone soup. Came with half an egg, scallop, xiao bai cai, prawns, fish bits, bamboo pith and kelp. The soup here tasted nicer as compared to Choa Chu Kang branch.
The back area where we were seated were actually quite cold. Had to leave the place to avoid being frozen stiff. For two ladies, we couldn't finish all the food. I think two mains, and at max two side dish will suffice.
Thanks Wendy for the treat!

2014's Most-Read Online Articles
Target Marketing readers are a discriminating lot. In 2014, the subjects they cared about most were copywriting, mobile email design, direct mail, LinkedIn, legal matters, and the relationship between print and digital marketing.
The tally of the most popular Web articles of 2014 is based on the site's analytics and begins with the articles the magazine published online this year. Next up are pieces from past years that readers clicked on in 2014. Both numbers reach through to Monday's totals.
2014's top five most-read articles TargetMarketingMag.com posted this year are:
1. "Postal: What If the USPS Disappears? With a Postal Service on the brink, marketers are weighing the once unthinkable" by Chet Dalzell. In March, Dalzell hits a nerve with the audience. Exactly 112 social shares, seven comments and two thumbs up from readers later, and he has the most-read online article in 2014. He walks readers through several scenarios, including privatization. This, for a postal service that now delivers on Sundays for Amazon, delivers groceries for AmazonFresh and remains without a quorum on the USPS Board of Governors.
2. "And the Best Subject Line Is … " by Heather Fletcher. On Aug. 1, I definitely hear from readers—many of whom are outraged by the thought of one-word subject lines having the highest open rates.
3. "The Worst Sales Letter of the Year (So far …)" by Denny Hatch lands online on Sept. 9. Hatch provides 13 lucky takeaways about what Marketer Margaret gets wrong.
4. "Does Direct Mail Have a Future?" by Summer Gould. On Jan. 6, Gould writes about the past, present and future of direct mail. Hint: Think "The Jetsons" may already be closer than most marketers think.
5. "Does Digital-Only Work?" by Summer Gould. In August, she elaborates on the "real symbiotic relationship between [print and digital marketing] that benefits both, and when that relationship is ignored, results can be effected, sometimes negatively."

Coal is no longer America's number one source of electricity generation, according to government data, as cheap natural gas Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations continue to hamper utilities and power companies operating coal-fired power plants.
Natural gas is predicted to provide 33 percent of America's electricity in 2016 while coal power will only provide 32 percent, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). For the first time in modern history, coal will not be the most widely used source of electricity in America.
Low-priced natural gas from hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has allowed the hydrocarbon to out-compete and undercut coal power, accelerating the shift towards fuels that emit less carbon dioxide.
"Environmental regulations affecting power plants have played a secondary role in driving coal's declining generation share over the past decade, although plant owners in some states have made investments to shift generation toward natural gas at least partly for environmental reasons," according to EIA. Natural gas has also benefited from anti-coal regulations from EPA and other agencies.
Last year, natural gas produced more electricity than coal for every month between July and October, according to EIA data released last December.

Gender pay gap in universities 'will not close for 40 years', report warns
Higher Education Statistics Agency figures also show a decline in the number of female professors being hired by many UK universities
The gender pay gap among academic staff will not be closed for 40 years at the current rate of progress, a new study warns.
The difference in pay between male and female academics in UK universities has only closed slightly from 12.6 per cent to 12 per cent in the past two years, said the University and College Union (UCU).
Publishing a new report into gender pay disparity, the group said significant pay gaps at the senior level coupled with under-representation of women in top posts pushed up the difference in wages in higher education.
As seniority and pay increases, the percentage of women falls, the union said, adding that fewer than one in four professors are female.
The Higher Education Statistics Agency figures also show a decline in the proportions of professorships held by women at many UK universities.
As many as one in three of the country's institutions have moved "backwards" in terms of female recruitment over the past few years, separate analysis of the HESA figures obtained by Times Higher Education show.
While the total number of female professors in the UK grew by almost a quarter to 4,775 between the 2012-13 and 2015-16 academic years, more than a third of institutions with statistically significant numbers of professors saw the proportion who are women fall.
This is despite increasing numbers of top universities agreeing to encourage gender diversity by signing up to an Equality Challenge Unit charter scheme in the past few years.
Loughborough University was noted as having the most dramatic fall in numbers, with women making up just 14.2 per cent of professors at the institution in 2016 – down six percentage points from 20.2 per cent in 2013.
Female professors at the London School of Economics and Political Science dropped down to 20.4 per cent from 23 per cent, and Queen Mary, London, saw a 1.1 per cent fall over the same period of time.
On the other end of the scale, the University of Liverpool improved its gender representation by a 10.9 percentage point difference.
Despite the improvement, the female professors still only account for a quarter (27.4 per cent) of the total professor staff body.
Within the Russell Group universities, 13.3 per cent of male academics were earning top salaries of £56,000 and over, compared to just 8 per cent of female staff, UCU found.
Commenting on the findings, UCU general secretary Sally Hunt said: "At this rate it will take 40 years to close the academic gender pay gap.
"The fact that women are under-represented in the higher management grades is contributing to the overall 12 per cent gender pay gap for academic staff.
"Universities need to analyse their gender pay gaps by carrying out equal pay audits. We are now submitting local equal pay audits at universities and want institutions to analyse and address their gender pay gaps."

Nick Pivetta takes the mound for the Phillies
It would be hard to top the performance put on by the Philadelphia Phillies on Opening Day. And yet, incredibly, there still remains room for improvement with this team as they prepare to welcome fans back to South Philly for game two of 162 on Saturday afternoon.
The Phillies (1-0) crushed the defending National League Eastern Division champion Atlanta Braves (0-1) by a 10-4 score on Thursday afternoon. The sellout crowd of 44,469 watched their heroes power their way to victory by driving three home runs, one each from Andrew McCutchen (in his first official Phillies plate appearance), Maikel Franco and Rhys Hoskins.
Those 10 runs marked the most scored by the club on Opening Day since the 2014 team out-slugged the Texas Rangers by 14-10 at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The Phillies had never treated a home opener crowd at Citizens Bank Park to a double-digit display such as that in the prior 15-year history of the ballpark.
To find the last Phillies double-digit scoring spree in a home opener you would have to go all the way back to April 12, 1991 at Veteran's Stadium when Lenny Dykstra, Darren Daulton and John Kruk powered the Phillies to an 11-4 victory over the Saint Louis Cardinals. On that Friday night they knocked the Cards lefty starter out after two innings, touching him for five runs and seven hits. That pitcher's name? Jamie Moyer.
So, how can the Phillies improve on that performance? For one, despite the power display they only managed seven total hits, taking advantage of six walks from the Braves hurlers. Newcomers Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto each went hitless at 0-3 in their debut with the team.
On the mound, while Aaron Nola was dominant at times he also walked five batters himself. He was followed to the mound by Hector Neris and David Robertson, who each threw an inning and combined to allow three earned runs on four hits and a walk while striking out no one.
SATURDAY OPPOSITION LINEUP and PREVIEW
The Phillies will face a rookie hurler making just his second big-league start on Saturday. No matter the makeup of any particular year's club, the team has historically struggled against such arms. It would be great to see them pick him apart this afternoon.
On the mound for the Phillies will be Nick Pivetta, the darling of sabermetricians and one of this year's popular breakout player picks by national media. Consistent solid outings from the 26-year-old right-hander will be just as important to the success of this year's team as the new, high-powered offense.
Over the course of a 162-game regular season schedule there are going to be plenty of good days and bad days. The very best teams in baseball are going to lose around 60 games or so. You won't always be at your best, and even when you are there is another team on the field trying to win as well, one that might be playing well itself.
This is a far deeper and more talented ball club than took the field last season. As we prepare for the second game of a long season it remains important for fans not to get too high or too low with every single game, streak or slump. But the excitement surrounding this Philadelphia Phillies ball club is wholly warranted.
- Pivetta (2018: 7-14, 4.77 ERA) vs. Bryse Wilson (2018: 1-0, 6.43 ERA)
- Pivetta career stats vs. Braves: 8 GS, 4-1 with a 2.72 ERA
- Wilson career stats vs. Phillies: n/a
- In 29 career games on the Citizens Bank Park mound, Pivetta has a .249 batting average against. The righty has surrendered 143 hits over 151.1 innings with a 184/43 K:BB ratio. He has also been touched for 28 home runs.
- Wilson was a fourth round pick by the Braves in the 2016 MLB Amateur Draft. The right-hander will be making just his fourth big-league appearance, his second start. Won his only other starting assignment last August 20 at Pittsburgh, going five shutout innings allowing three hits with five strikeouts and three walks. Became youngest pitcher to ever win a 1-0 game in their big-league debut. Currently Atlanta's #7 ranked prospect.
- Harper has slashed .276/.393/.515 over 113 career games vs Atlanta. His 25 homers against the Braves are his most vs any MLB opponent.
- Nick Markakis has slashed .294/.400/.471 vs Pivetta and is the only Braves current batter to hit a home run off him.
- Following Sunday afternoon's game the Phillies have an off-day on Monday before heading to Washington for the Nationals home opener on Tuesday. A quick two-game set will mark Harper's first trip back to D.C., where he played his first seven seasons. Should make for an, uh, interesting couple of games. Club then returns for a six-game homestandwhich wraps with another three vs Washington.

By Sandy Deane, Barbados Today From St Lucia Online
BARBADOS TODAY – Former Prime Minister Owen Arthur made a strong case today for Barbados to end its currency peg to the United States dollar.
In setting out his case before Parliament during the morning session on the second day of the debate on the 2017/2018 Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure, Arthur said other currencies should be considered to help stabilize the Barbados dollar, which the fired Central Bank Governor Dr DeLisle Worrell had warned was facing devaluation because of the continued printing of money to support Government programmes.
In fact, the former Prime Minister would have taken many by surprise when he dismissed any talk of devaluation as "false", explaining that the Barbados dollars devalued often, whenever the US dollar moves down against other currencies.
"Our currency is pegged to the United States dollar that is not going down in value, but is going up in value and it is making Barbadian exports more expensive, not because we want them to be more expensive but because of how our currency is pegged.
"Our currency is also making it more expensive for investors coming from the United Kingdom and Germany to be able to make investments in Barbados," Arthur warned.
Stressing that the US dollar would continue to appreciate, Arthur made the case for the country to begin a "debate on what should be an appropriate exchange rate policy that coincides with our contemporary goods, services and foreign capital flows in the context of what is likely to happen to the currencies against which we are pegged taking into account all the other currencies of countries we do business."
The former Prime Minister said dollarization- which involves a country using another country's currency as legal tender for conducting transactions – had been recommended as a positive option for small open economies such as Barbados, since it offered the benefits of greater stability in the value of a foreign currency over a country's domestic currency.
"Can we not also look to peg our currency, not to a dollar that is appreciating at a time when our reserves are falling, but can we not have a basket of currencies that reflect the weight of respective countries in our trade in relation to goods, services and capital flows and for a while stabilize the Barbados dollar because it is not stabilized now?" Arthur said.

Title: A Chance-Constrained Stochastic Electricity Market
(Submitted on 17 Jun 2019 (v1), last revised 18 Dec 2019 (this version, v3))
Abstract: Efficiently accommodating uncertain renewable resources in wholesale electricity markets is among the foremost priorities of market regulators in the US, UK and EU nations. However, existing deterministic market designs fail to internalize the uncertainty and their scenario-based stochastic extensions are limited in their ability to simultaneously maximize social welfare and guarantee non-confiscatory market outcomes in expectation and per each scenario. This paper proposes a chance-constrained stochastic market design, which is capable of producing a robust competitive equilibrium and internalizing uncertainty of the renewable resources in the price formation process. The equilibrium and resulting prices are obtained for different uncertainty assumptions, which requires using either linear (restrictive assumptions) or second-order conic (more general assumptions) duality in the price formation process. The usefulness of the proposed stochastic market design is demonstrated via the case study carried out on the 8-zone ISO New England testbed.

Getting Saved vs. Overcoming | Part 1
07/15/19 09:02 PM Topical
(Topical Study) The danger of the once saved always saved teaching is that it leads believers into complacency by giving them a false hope. All overcomers are saved people, but not all saved people will overcome. When you believe and are saved, you've only taken the first step. Now you must demonstrate that faith and overcome.

(Illustration of a simple type of encryption where each letter represents another letter)
"He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given." -Matthew 13:11
Governments, businesses, and militaries all use encrypted messages. God's kingdom is no different. Encrypted messages are sent from God in order to get important and privileged information to His servants while concealing it from others. Therefore not everyone is able to understand the Bible.
Two people can pick up the same Bible, one can see the message clearly while the other sees just words on the page.
How can this be?
What's preventing the other person from being able to understand the message?
Well it has little to do with one's intelligence or how smart they are, in fact many people with no college degree can understand messages in the Bible while someone who may have gone to the most elite schools like Harvard or Yale has no clue. For example, Jesus says:
"I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." -Matthew 11:25
So being able to decipher the messages has more to do with one's loyalty and intentions.
If their heart is hardened with rebellion and pride, their eyes will not be able to see, while on the other hand if they have a humble and ready heart, God will open their eyes and they will be able to see the encryption.
That's why Jesus said:
"For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." -Matthew 13:15
You know many people say the Book of Revelation is hard to understand. And for good reason. It's because virtually the entire book was written using symbolism - just one form of encryption. And if your spiritual eyes are not opened you'll never understand the symbols in that book. Even if your eyes are opened, in order to decipher the meaning of those symbols one must have a good working knowledge of the entire Bible beginning in Genesis.
Do you have eyes to see and ears to hear?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Tobias Harris scored 28 points, Montrezl Harrell added 24 and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Sacramento Kings 133-121 on Thursday night.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 17 points, and Avery Bradley and Danilo Gallinari had 16 apiece as the Clippers won their ninth in 10 games. Los Angeles extended its streak in Sacramento to 12 games.
Bogdan Bogdanovic scored a career-high 26 for Sacramento. Marvin Bagley III added 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Kings coach Dave Joerger faced questions before the game about problems between he and the team's front office after The Athletic reported that Joerger asked assistant general manager Brandon Williams to leave the team's shootaround earlier Thursday.
It comes less than two weeks after a report by Yahoo Sports suggesting that Joerger was in trouble with management over his handling of the team's younger players, specifically Bagley, the second overall pick who has come off the bench in all 21 games this season.
"My job is to make sure that we are as prepared as we can be for the task in front of us and to try to limit as much distractions as possible," Joerger said. "I think the sunshine on this team, this group of players, and our city has been as high as it's been since I've been in the NBA. I'm just trying to keep the distractions to a minimum with our group. I love the game. I know that this is just part sometimes that comes with it."
The Kings held together pretty well against Los Angeles before Harris and Harrell helped the Clippers pull away in the fourth quarter.
After Bogdanovic's layup cut the Clippers' lead to 112-108, Harris and Harrell combined for 11 consecutive points including a pair of three-point plays by Harrell.
The teams exchanged 42-point quarters in the first half.
Los Angeles led by 18 in the first quarter but Sacramento went on three big runs in the second quarter and closed within 71-68 at halftime.
Clippers: Los Angeles hasn't lost in Sacramento since March 19, 2013. . Martin Gortat had nine points in 18 minutes after getting into early foul trouble. Gortat picked up his third foul with five minutes left in the first half. . Los Angeles shot 68 percent (17 of 25) in the first quarter.

Tel: +1 410 955 7757; fax: +1 410 502 1144; e-mail: email@example.com AIDS: June 19th, 2010 - Volume 24 - Issue 10 - p 1603-1404 doi: 10.1097/QAD.0b013e32832f3155 Free SDC Metrics We read with interest the novel strategy described by Papendorp and van den Berk [1] regarding instituting a standard highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen (tenofovir, emtricitabine, and efavirenz) and raltegravir to reduce HIV-1 viral load rapidly in order to decrease perioperative infectious risk. Although raltegravir-containing HAART affords a more rapid viral load decline compared with other antiretroviral regimens [2], there remains a period of several weeks before virions are cleared from the plasma. This may represent an unacceptably long time to wait for urgent surgery. Building upon Papendorp and van den Berk's innovative concept [1] of using the pharmacodynamic properties unique to particular classes of antiretrovirals to reduce perioperative risk, we describe an alternative strategy that theoretically offers the same benefit within a much shorter time period. Raltegravir, the first integrase inhibitor approved for clinical use, blocks incorporation of HIV-1 reverse transcripts into the host cell genome. Infected cells that have already undergone HIV-1 DNA integration at the time raltegravir is initiated will not be blocked from producing infectious virions. The rapid viral load decay seen in patients taking raltegravir may be the result of the blockade of a later stage of viral replication than other currently available antiretroviral drugs [3]. For example, it is likely that a larger population of infected cells can continue to produce virus in patients starting an efavirenz-based regimen than in patients starting a raltegravir-based regimen. With efavirenz initiation, all infected cells that have undergone reverse transcription will continue to produce virus, whereas, with raltegravir, only cells that have undergone viral integration will produce virus. This is likely the basis of the more rapid decay in plasma HIV-1 RNA levels in patients starting raltegravir [3]. However, with respect to occupational exposure, the critical issue is not the absolute level of plasma virus, but rather the level of infectious virus. In theory, virions produced by previously infected cells in a patient starting an integrase inhibitor will be fully infectious if transferred to another host because integrase inhibitors act only on the integrase–viral DNA complex in newly-infected cells and not on the free enzyme in the virion [4]. The situation is different in patients starting protease inhibitors. These drugs inhibit the enzyme responsible for the cleavage of immature viral proteins within the virion during and after budding from the host cell. Previously infected cells, at all stages of replication, will continue to produce virions when a protease inhibitor is initiated [3]. For this reason, the viral load decay on protease inhibitor regimens is not as rapid as that observed with raltegravir. However, all virions produced in the presence of therapeutic concentrations of a protease inhibitor are immature and incapable of infecting a new target. Thus, within hours of initiating a protease inhibitor-based regimen, patients will have a falling viral load composed of immature, noninfectious virions that likely represent a minimal risk for blood-borne viral transmission. In the case of protease inhibitors with a slow off rate, such as darunavir [5], enzyme inhibition may persist following occupational transmission of virus particles to a recipient for longer than the virion lifetime, affording complete protection. If the drug does dissociate, the virion would still need to complete the maturation process to become infectious. The nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors potentially represent an intermediate case. In principle, they can bind to the reverse transcriptase molecules in virions, rendering them noninfectious. However, as soon as the inhibitor dissociates, reverse transcription could continue. Thus, in order to minimize the probability of occupational transmission, slowly dissociating protease inhibitors offer the most rapid way to reduce infectious virus in the plasma. A potential concern of the drug regimen described by Papendorp and van den Berk [1] is the relatively low barrier to resistance of both efavirenz and raltegravir [6], which may present a risk to the patient long after surgery. This risk is compounded by initiating HAART on an urgent basis in a setting radically different from the outpatient HIV clinic, in which a support structure is ideally in place to maximize long-term positive patient outcomes. Protease inhibitor-based regimens have a significantly higher barrier to resistance than efavirenz or raltegravir and, for this reason, can often be given with confidence in settings when the presence of drug-resistance mutations cannot be fully assessed. In summary, both the mechanism of action and the superior resistance profile of protease inhibitor-based HAART argue for its use in this specific setting. In regard to blood-borne transmission risk, both the quality and quantity of virus should be considered.

There are 2 versions of this paper
China in the Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy
China in the Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy
Date Written: September 1, 2009
China, from its own perspective can not afford to, and from an international perspective, is not allowed to continue on the conventional path of encouraging economic growth at the expense of the environment. The country needs to transform its economy to effectively address concern about a range of environmental problems from burning fossil fuels and steeply rising oil import and international pressure to exhibit greater ambition in fighting global climate change. This paper first discusses China's own efforts towards energy saving and pollutants cutting, the widespread use of renewable energy and participation in clean development mechanism, and puts carbon reductions of China's unilateral actions into perspective. Given that that transition to a low carbon economy cannot take place overnight, the paper then discusses China's policies on promoting the use of low-carbon energy technologies and nuclear power and efforts to secure stable oil and gas supply during this transition period. Based on these discussions, the paper provides some recommendations on issues related to energy conservation and pollution control, wind power, nuclear power, clean coal technologies, and overseas oil and gas supplies, and articulates a roadmap for China regarding its climate commitments to 2050.

Hoa Lo Prison: In addition to brutal torture images, the barrage of guerrillas brought the Hoa Lo Prison into the top five most frightening places in Southeast Asia.
Hoa Lo Prison is located at No. 1 Hoa Lo Street, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi. The relic remains long with time until today. It is a clear evidence for a whole period of miserable history and hard work, symbolizing the indomitable and resilient spirit of Vietnamese patriotic.
Hoa Lo Prison, formerly known as Maison Centrale, means the central scheme, and the Vietnamese name of Hanoi Prison. It is an old prison located on Hoa Lo Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi. This prison was built by France in 1896 in the area that was the periphery of the city, with the aim of serving as a central prison for both Central China and Tonkin, imprisoning mainly political prisons. And the patriots against the colonial government.
Under the French colonial rule, Hoa Lo prisonwas designed to be constructed with a structure consisting of 4m high stone walls, 0.5m thick reinforced with electric steel wire.
The total area of the former prison area is over 12,000m2. However, today only 2.434m2 is retained, preserved to become a relic, serving the purpose of sightseeing for those who want to come and witness the view of the colonial prison.
Dubbed the "earthly hell" place, the most feared prison in Southeast Asia. During its time of operation, Hoa Lo Prison became a detention place of generations of soldiers and houses. Vietnamese revolutionary activities with the prison architecture were designed with torture and forced forms of cruelty. But the most typical of which is the guillotine, the machine that has put the prison to enroll in the top 10. The world's most infamous prison.
Writing from 1939-1945, a female political prisoner once rewritten in the memoir "Five Months Never Lost", displayed at the prison as follows:
"… Every week the prisoners' food changes according to regulations: Sunday a pork meal, usually pork or silver meat. Three meals of old buffalo meat, the rest were meals of bighead fish, oil fish to boil the whole intestine, dried fish were forced out of oil, moldy and boiled, boiled tofu. Vegetables are depending on the season. Rice is usually white broken rice of the South for so long that it has a beetle, eating light, medium bitter. Eating rice for a long time, many people have heart edema. There are months of death of up to 40 people ... ".
The brutal repression is that, patriotism and revolutionary struggle continue to rekindle in the dark space of the prison. Revolutionary propaganda sessions, academic movements, political reasoning classes are still underground, despite the colonial whip aimed at propagating the Party's ideals, enlightening soldiers and contacting groups outside, fighting for the right to life. Not only that, revolutionary newspapers. Such as "Prison Life" and "Prison Journal" were also born in the very life of oppression and exploitation to educate and raise the Party's awareness, burning up. Revolutionary fire from the enemy's heart. Also thanks to such activities, the life of prison here also partly reduced the darkness.
After liberating the capital in 1954. Hoa Lo Prison used to detain American pilots until 1973. With its historical role. The current Hoa Lo Prison became a place. Interesting sights in Hanoi attract a lot of tourists.

Admissions Policy
Parent's first contact with the school will normally be either by telephone or by letter or email, perhaps as a result of looking at the website. As a result of this first contact, parents will be sent a prospectus, accompanied by a brief handwritten note from the Headmaster inviting them to arrange a visit if they think Woodcote might be suitable for their son.
No prospective parent would be denied this information, although they may be advised at this early stage if the year group into which they wish to enter their son is full and a place is unlikely.
Initial visits to the school would normally involve a discussion with the Headmaster, followed by a tour with him, with a senior member of staff, or with boys. Parents would then be offered an Entry Form, completion of which would guarantee a place for an agreed term, subject to the conditions below.
Admission thereafter is on a first come first served basis, but no place is offered without the boy meeting the Headmaster for a brief informal interview in the year before he is due to start. At this point the boy will be asked to take an assessment test – at a level appropriate to his age. Only if a boy appeared socially or academically very far behind would the Headmaster refuse a place if one existed, and in such cases he would take advice from the Special Needs Coordinator before doing so. Provided that there is adequate room within the school (taking into account the limited number of Day places) and within a boy's year group, no other form of selection would operate. No boy will be barred from entry on the grounds of race, religion or belief.
Once a place is offered and accepted, parents would be sent joining instructions and be required to pay a refundable Entry Fee in the form of a £1,000 deposit. Further visits – for clothes, to meet staff and boys, to spend a day with a proposed class – may then well be arranged. At the end of the term preceding a boy's entry final instructions and the Parents' Handbook will be sent, together with a bill for the first term, which becomes payable by the first day of that term. Thereafter, a full term's notice will always be required before a boy leaves.
Once at Woodcote, the school undertakes if at all possible to continue to educate a boy until his agreed leaving age, provided fees are met. Only if parents are warned formally and in writing that a boy's behaviour was prejudicing the best interests of the school would exclusion be considered; in such cases the school would see it very much as part of its brief to seek appropriate alternatives on behalf of the parents. A boy would never be excluded on grounds of pure academics, though the school would of course alert parents if it felt there were grounds for concern. If a boy is excluded, any fees paid in advance for any remaining days of term would be refunded to parents.

Here we are again. It's Monday night, I'm writing a quick blog and all I can think of is service and what it has done for me. Service keeps me focused on Jesus. Where the idle soon have their fire put out the serving continually stoke theirs by doing for others.
Sunday morning Pastor Kelly spoke some on service and giving of yourself to others. Everyone wants to be part of something bigger. Everyone wants to feel like they make a difference. So why do so many of us just do for ourselves?
I've said it before and I am here to say it again. Service is where it is at! If you want a deeper relationship with God then serve. Maybe you want to feel better connected to people. All you have to do is serve. Low self esteem? Perhaps you just don't feel like you make a difference. Try serving. Want your voice heard? Get involved serving.
God changed my life and I serve to make Him happy. I was saved to serve. You were saved to serve. End of story.
If God changed your life, if you call Him Lord then find a place to serve. Each of us have a particular set of skills unique to us.
1 Peter 4:10 in the New International Version says this "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."
It doesn't have to be at LifePoint. there are plenty of places to give of yourself here in town. Crosslines, the free store, the sound house, L-Life and the Red Cross are just a few places you can give a few hours and make a difference in someone else's life.
For those of you that attend LifePoint I'll make it even easier. There is a place for you to sign up right here and pick an area you are interested in serving.
Thank you for reading...... now get to work.

Gallbladder problems must be handled in time. Proper therapy will prevent numerous complications, so you will need to have your gallbladder examined often throughout pregnancy. Most frequently, these issues could have been prevented by drinking ample quantities of water. Senior citizens should at all times make a focused effort to remember to drink at the least 6 – 8 glasses of water each day. Signs of dehydration embrace confusion, drowsiness, hassle with speech and dry mouth.
All of those techniques may seem underhanded, but they're simply a part of the advertising recreation. By playing on the public's confusion and presenting their very own merchandise as quick fixes they persuade us to buy their books, comply with their food regimen plans, and maybe most dangerously, ignore professional advice and real research.

Working a full time job, raising two daughters, attempting to have a social life, trying to make my family proud, and trying to make myself proud are things I do every day. I'm now beginning my journey of giving. This is step one.
January 2020
Back to Blog
Everyone Has a Story
Hello again, my friends. I want to tell you a story about something that happened to me recently, and I think it's really just amazing. So I don't think I've shared with you that I've begun my search for my youngest brother, Marcquise. He was taken from his mother at birth, and my father missed the opportunity to take custody of him. I've only ever seen my brother once, when he was two, at a state facility which was designated for my father's visitation at the time. He wore glasses, and I was told he suffered from seizures because his mother did drugs when she was pregnant. He was the sweetest little thing, and I never got another chance to spend time with him. I was living in Texas at the time, and when I returned to visit my family in New Jersey, I was told that he had been adopted by another family. That was the last I heard of him, although I have never stopped thinking of him. I've wondered over the years if he knows he has siblings, and if he knows how much we love him. I wonder if he knows he has a brother who passed away. I wonder if he even knows he's adopted. I made a choice to wait to search for him because I was afraid of the feedback I would get. I don't know what the situation was with my father, or if Marcquise's adoptive family wants him to know anything about where he came from. I was afraid if I reached out I would upset his life, and being a young person in today's time is hard enough.
After a conversation with my uncle, though, I realized life is far too short to take days for granted. I don't know how much time we have left in this life, and I don't want to waste them being afraid - so I started looking. Going online to search adoption records is really no help because I have zero information about his mother or where he was born or when. I think he's somewhere around 15 or 16 years old now, but I truly have no idea, and my father isn't any help when I ask for more information. With that being said, I took to social media. I searched for just his first name since I have no clue what his last name would be, and I just started looking at the pictures for all of the people who came up in my search.
I came across a picture of a young man who looks like he could possibly be related to me (I also have no idea what my brother's mother looks like), so I sent him a message. I'm sure it sounded really strange, but I basically said I've been looking for my younger brother and your features look sort of similar to my father's so could it be possible that you are who I'm searching for? Now people, when I tell you I was a nervous wreck until he responded, I am not kidding. The next day I saw that he had read my message, but still had not replied, so I reached out again with I'm sorry to bother you again but I'm sort of losing it; please tell me if there's any possibility you're my brother. Long story short, he's not my brother, but check this out:
Once we started talking, I learned he had actually been searching for his older sister for eight years before she finally found him instead. We both have similar relationships with our fathers, and our mothers are our best friends. The more we talked, it was insane how much we have in common to be complete strangers with two very different backgrounds. He doesn't like coffee (yea, that's a dead giveaway that we're not related), and I don't like chicken wings (apparently that classifies me as not Black). He's got a great sense of humor, and now I've found a new friend. We've made plans to hang out together, and I think we're going to have an amazing time.
I said all that to say: you truly never know another person's story until you ask. You never know what someone has gone through until you share what you're going through. You can't expand your life and your mind if you never make a connection with a perfect stranger, and you truly can't judge a book by its cover. I'm thankful for this new story, and I will continue to search for my brother. The universe will bring us together.
Oh, update on my 29th year outreach idea:
I've texted multiple numbers, but I don't think any of them were actual cell phone numbers; I haven't gotten any more replies. I'm not giving up, though! I'm going to keep trying, and I'll keep you updated on my progress.
Thank you again for all of your support, and I will be back soon with more for you. Stay strong my friends, and remember you are much more resilient than you think. You can get through absolutely anything if you put your mind to it and be objective. Learn the lesson and apply it to future situations. Realize everything happens for a reason, and it happens exactly the way it's supposed to. Make good decisions, and spread love.
~until next time

Factory presets and NKS support for Spexx spectral effects plug-in
Written by Roland Trimmel | Categories: News
We communicated at the launch of our audio effects plug-in Spexx that factory presets aren't included yet. This also includes NKS support, which enables tight integration with MIDI controllers and the likes.
Read on to find out more.
NKS support and factory presets
Factory presets are an important part of the user experience. Giving the user examples to start from with a new tool in sound design allows the latter to get to results quicker, and dive into the effects/filters of a plug-in.
This hasn't been included from the outset when launching Spexx, and we're very well aware of that. We've always seen this as being tightly knit with NKS support - as this enables an intuitive workflow across software instruments, effects, loops and samples. This page has a good overview of NKS.
The integration of NKS is now ongoing. A mapping scheme had to be developed that follows the guidelines set out by Native Instruments - and, may now be extended to I2C8 too.
Once the integration is ready, testing will start with select beta testers. And, if successful, launched in an update with you.

School Software Pro Group of Schools version have the modules and features the single school have (All-in-One), you don't need to worry.
School Software Pro Multi or Group of schools plugin is recommended for management of Group of Institutions who want to control more than one school or college from a single application. Instance creation for every school is not needed every time.
New school can be created with single click.
This will save a hug cost on the management and efficiency in managing student's/ pupil's records.
This is good for missionary schools own by one religious body and government schools.
State governments in Nigeria can implement School Software Pro to all their Primary and Secondary schools in their states with stress free.
We recommend this app to all school managers who have more than one school or college to manage.
However this Plugin of MSMS doesn't cover the various reports available from each school into once place. With this Multischool plugin, though the management can control the different schools created under them, there is no scope for various consolidated reports from all the schools in this plugin now.
