Hillary Clinton was admitted to the hospital Sunday after an MRI revealed a blood clot between her brain and skull. Clinton suffered a concussion when she contracted a stomach virus and fainted due to dehydration on December 9. She has been treated with blood thinners and did not suffer a stroke or any brain damage, doctors said.
Doctors treating Clinton released a statement:
In the course of a routine follow-up MRI on Sunday, the scan revealed that a right transverse sinus venous thrombosis had formed.This is a clot in the vein that is situated in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear. It did not result in a stroke, or neurological damage.
To help dissolve this clot, her medical team began treating the Secretary with blood thinners. She will be released once the medication dose has been established.
In all other aspects of her recovery, the Secretary is making excellent progress and we are confident she will make a full recovery. She is in good spirits, engaging with her doctors, her family, and her staff.
Clinton was treated in 1998 for a blood clot in her leg.

This is my favourite model for winter tires and this is my second sets on my subby. It gives you a feeling of solid grip and safe on all road surface conditions. Its performance is excellent on highway or city, wet snow or dry pavement. It values for money. It's a smart and worthy investment for a set of winter tires, especially when you are living in a place with a lot of snow during winter seasons, like Canada. I will buy it again for my next car. Highly recommended.

When I first got them, it was a little slippery on wet pavement for about the first 100km of driving. After it was a lot better. Some say that if its brand new, there's a protection film on it which needs to wear down a bit. The first season of driving, I was able to move around in the snow really well. I drive people around so I'm glad I got these. They are snow tires so the sidewalls are soft so handling wise, the car does sway. The treadwear isn't the greatest so after a couple of seasons, it does get a little slippery. I don't use them all year as I have summer tires that I switch to once the temperature goes up.

Impressive Despaigne takes on surging Mets
Wheeler starts for New York, which has won nine of last 12
Odrisamer Despaigne has been impressive thus far in his young Major League career -- posting a 1.35 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in four starts -- but when he takes to the Petco Park mound on Sunday afternoon opposite fellow right-hander Zack Wheeler, the Mets simply will be looking to add him to their list.
That list -- which includes All-Stars Yu Darvish, Julio Teheran and Henderson Alvarez -- is full of pitchers New York has beat up during its current rampage. Despite dropping Saturday's contest, 6-0, the Mets are winners of nine of their last 12 games, vaulting them back into the outside edge of the National League East picture. A win on Sunday would give them a fourth straight series win.
More recently, that success has come with a consistent lineup that features, among others, Curtis Granderson at the top and Travis d'Arnaud in the five-hole. Manager Terry Collins has filled out the same first eight names in four of the team's last five games, with last Sunday's first-half finale the only exception.
The Mets entered Saturday with a .427 slugging percentage in July, a mark good for sixth-best in the Majors. That's an immense improvement over their previous monthly slugging marks of .319 (March/April), .375 (May) and .381 (June).
"They're feeling good about themselves right now, and therefore they're having more good days than bad days," Collins said. "So we're going to leave it alone.
"When things are going good, you really don't worry about much. You ride the ride."
Now they'll try to take Despaigne for a ride, though that might not be so easy. He's fresh off a start in which he limited the Dodgers to two runs in seven innings, striking out seven to tie his high this season, his first stateside after defecting from Cuba. That effort might have been good enough for a win if the other pitcher hadn't been Clayton Kershaw.
Despaigne has lasted at least six innings and allowed no more than two runs in each of his four Major League starts.
Wheeler, meanwhile, will be making his first start of the second half after looking more and more like the top-of-the-rotation arm the organization projected him to be. His numbers on the season are good but not spectacular -- 3.90 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and just under a strikeout per inning -- though that has changed during the last month.
In his last five starts, a stretch that began on June 19 with his shutout of Miami, Wheeler has a 2.67 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Those would be even better if not for a two-inning, six-run outing against the A's last month.
Wheeler limited the Marlins to one run in 6 2/3 innings in his most recent start, on July 11. San Diego touched him for four runs in five innings on June 14.
Mets: Eveland in bullpen's upper crust
Among the unsung heroes of New York's bullpen resurgence is veteran left-hander Dana Eveland, whom the Mets signed to a non-guaranteed Minor League deal this spring. After pitching in Korea last season and returning to unemployment, Eveland finally hooked on with the Mets in late May and has done little but succeed since.
Eveland entered Saturday with a 2.30 ERA in 14 appearances, striking out nearly a batter per inning. He and Josh Edgin have established themselves as legitimate left-handed options at the back end of games.
"He's done a very good job," Collins said. "He's got enough arm. You look at him, he's been 90, 92 [mph]. He's got a good slider, which has been his signature pitch. He's done a nice job."
Padres: Quackenbush, Thayer favorites for setup role
As expected, manager Bud Black confirmed on Saturday that Joaquin Benoit will slide into Huston Street's vacated closer role after Street was traded to the Angels on Friday night.
The real intrigue lies in who will take over the setup role now that Benoit has been promoted. Black indicated that he'll decide who pitches the eighth inning based on each reliever's recent usage and performance, though rookie righty Kevin Quackenbush and right-hander Dale Thayer seem to have the upper hand for now.
"I think you guys have noticed that Quack's innings have become a little bit more high-leverage for us. He's pitching in more high-leverage games and he's performing," Black said. "You look at Dale, Dale's been a good performer for us, too. He had a couple of hiccups, but overall, his body of work has been pretty solid for us."
Quackenbush pitched the eighth inning on Friday night with the score tied, and he recently solidified his spot in the 'pen after being frequently shuttled to Triple-A El Paso during the first couple of months of the season. He has 28 strikeouts and eight walks in 27 2/3 innings with a 0.87 WHIP. Thayer, meanwhile, saved five consecutive games back in 2012 when Street was injured, and this season has a career-best 2.09 ERA with 37 strikeouts in 38 2/3 innings.
Worth noting:
• Kirk Nieuwenhuis has started five of the last six games in left field for the Mets, giving the club some consistency and production at a position that has lacked both at times in 2014. Collins, however, hinted that he might give someone else a shot there on Sunday.
• The Padres scored six runs on Saturday, marking the fourth time this month they have plated at least that many. They haven't scored more than six times in one game since July 1.

How Deceptive Is Your Persuasive Design?
We are brought up to be honest. Lying is seen as a bad thing to do. Yet, often, in real life, deception is used to make life better for someone, not worse.
Parents can buy a lavender-scented spray called "Monster Go Away" that promises to banish scary creatures from under children's beds or the depths of their closets.
Alzheimer's patients at care facilities in Germany who feel the need to leave can sit and wait at a special bus stop outside the building until, five minutes later, they've forgotten they wanted to go home and the staff can invite them in for a cup of tea.
These are examples of deception used for good reason, to reduce distress. We are also used to being deceived for entertainment. Jokes often rely on re-interpreting what we think is true. Magicians' tricks wouldn't work without redirection.
Is it OK to Deceive Your Customers Online?
At the risk of reducing sales of my new book, Evil by Design, I'll let you in on a secret: Amazon deceives you into thinking that my book is scarce, and that it must be selling really well, because it often looks like it's about to sell out. "Only 9 left in stock."
This is the Tom Sawyer effect. As Mark Twain narrates in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, "In order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain." It is also an example of social proof. If so many people are buying the book, it must be good, right?
Only nine left, so you had better buy yours right now—don't delay or you might miss out!
In reality, Amazon keeps a very lean stock of most of their titles. It relies on regular shipments from my publisher, Wiley, in order to reduce its need for warehousing space. Unfortunately this sometimes leads to the book being out of stock (yes, it really did sell better than Amazon's just-in-time algorithm predicted), but by-and-large this deceptive practice does little to hurt customers.
… it's OK to deceive people if it's in their best interests
Other deceptive practices online are more likely to cause problems for customers. Sometimes, at the end of a checkout process at a reputable merchant, you might be tempted by an offer of free shipping on your next purchase, online coupons, or discounts. Often it's hard to tell that this offer is made not by the online store you have visited but instead by a discount club run by companies such as Webloyalty, Vertrue, or Affinion. What isn't made clear during this sales pitch is that you are signing up for a service that comes with a monthly membership fee, with few if any actual benefits.
On the face of it, this is a great offer from CafePress. In reality, it's a sign-up form from a discount club that uses data pass-through to "share" the credit card details you gave to CafePress and subsequently charge you a monthly fee.
These companies lure customers in by first making something free to remove rational thought. They then lead people in along desire lines that hide important or government-mandated language in plain sight by pairing it with more attractive and visually rich paths through the process, or placing it below the action button. Finally, the subscription process is a negative option, meaning people are enrolled in the service by default, which makes it hard for them to realize that they are signed up and even harder to cancel.
Where is the Line Between Persuasion and Deception in Interface Design?
So where should we draw the line? The examples I gave above, and the persuasive design patterns they embody, can be used for either good or for evil. Most of our designs are trying to persuade people to do something: buy, sign up, contribute to a cause, or change a behavior.
Where on the continuum from evil to good are your uses of persuasion? And is deception allowable in those contexts? Just because persuasive practices can be used for deception, and just because deception can be used to do bad things doesn't mean that persuasive techniques are necessarily bad in their own right.
I am suggesting that it's OK to deceive people if it's in their best interests, or if they've given implicit consent to be deceived as part of a persuasive strategy. People attending a magic show give this consent. The relatives of the Alzheimer's patients give this consent (as probably would the patients if they were signing up for this care before their mental health deteriorated). Even the kids using Monster Go Away spray give their implicit consent. Children know that monsters aren't real, but that doesn't stop them from being scared. The solution is to give them a tool that fits in with their imagination. In other words, to meet the kids inside the deception they have created for themselves.
So then the trick is to work out whether the deception is in people's best interests. There is a continuum of deception from evil through commercial and motivational to charitable. Of course, it's easy to deceive yourself into thinking that you are designing a motivational or commercially persuasive interface when in fact it is evil.
The test is to ask whether the benefit to the individual or to society is at least as great as the benefit to you as the designer of the persuasive interface. The online discount clubs rake in a lot of money and give many people something they don't need or didn't even know they were receiving. Amazon makes cheap books magically appear within days of us ordering them online. Both use persuasive practices that could be seen as deceptive, but with a different level of benefit for their customers.
Who benefits most? Evil designs are aimed at giving the designer more of the value than customers. On the other end of the spectrum, charitable designs persuade customers to do something that benefits society more than it does them.
Are White Lies OK if They are in the Customer's Best Interest?
I'm sure there are flaws in this argument. I can already think of several counterexamples. I'd love to know what you think. Do you agree? Disagree? What examples do you have of deceptive persuasive design being used either for good or for evil? Let me know in the comments, on twitter (@uxgrump with the #evilbydesign hashtag) or on my site, evilbydesign.info.

Definitely a place for Values-Sensitive Design here. How else can we understand what's in someone's best interest from their point of view. The book Nudge is of course the other obvious source for a model of gentle persuasion that is dedicated specifically to positive outcomes for people. Thaler and Sunstein insist on preserving choice, and on basing assessments of benefit on the individual's values rather than on the values of the designer or "choice architect". But they're aiming to guide public policy not marketing. Marketing wants to sell things above all, not help people above all. So that's a conflict of interest. Perhaps the best way is simply new business models - eg. more Social Enterprise (see se-alliance.org)
the line could also be drawn at encouraging / even modifying behavior, which a user understands the conditions for and has not yet acted upon versus deceiving about the conditions and/or outcome of that behavior. for example, in the case of the amazon "out-of-stock" trick": the user knows the price and the value he will get for it, it is mostly the matter of buying now or later; perhaps, shifting around the priorities on your 'shopping list' and getting the book from amazon sooner than something else. with the hidden fees scenario: when falling for it, the user does not know the price he will pay for it eventually.
amazon strategy has a potential of being not in user's best interest; if i am more comfortable to "sleep on it" before making the decision - the amazon encourages user against that comfort and in their favor of getting the sale quicker... however, it does not really harm a user because at the end of the day if necessary, i will just take my time no matter how low the stock is.
"... but by-and-large this deceptive practice does little to hurt customers." I tend to disagree. The Amazon example skews the customer's perception of value. To your point, the inference is that demand is outstripping supply. That is true to some extent. Assume Amazon did not use a JIT system and that all books were stocked at the same level. In such a case, then indeed, the demand outstripping supply theory is far more relevant. I would further argue that the average customer is not aware of Amazon's JIT system and they assume any "shortage" of inventory implies demand outstripping supply.
As a student of the efficient markets hypothesis, I'd argue that any sort of deception or misrepresentation is a "bad" thing.
The problem is when this "lies"are discovered, the company reputation might be in danger. For examle, Amazon and the message of "only x left in stock" this is not a tactic that benefits the user, but it benefits the company as Amazon increases its sales by doing so. For the side of the user, he could make an incorrect purchase due to the presure (maybe not in Amazon, but in sites for flight booking, it has happened to me). These type of actions might work right now, but after using them for a long time, or if they are discovered by the users, they stop working.
I prefer honesty in all the User experience because this is the only sustainable that will always work.
"but by-and-large this deceptive practice does little to hurt customers"
Hate to break it to you, but being intentionally dishonest to drive sales via faux scarcity can "hurt" customers (if we can agree that parting money from customers who wouldn't spend it otherwise is "hurting" them). Suggesting that you know what is in the customer's "best interest" to justify dishonesty is quite arrogant.
Scott - I don't disagree with you at all. Being intentionally dishonest can hurt customers. Hurting customers can also (longer term) hurt your business. The scarcity trick has been used to great effect by toy manufacturers for years. Hype a new toy ready for Christmas, then make it hard to find. Parents buy other toys as "make-up" gifts, but kids still make their parents buy the original, hyped-up toy when more stock is available in January.
I'm not sure Amazon's not-many-left-in-stock issue is in the same league, though. Especially because they say "More on the way" right on the same line, and you'd never see that message on the page unless you were at least partially intending to buy the product anyway. I'd put that use of the scarcity technique in the Commercial rather than Evil category.

Gallery: Amazingly Patient Artist Uses 100,000 Toothpicks to Create Inc...
The toothpick Golden Gate Bridge.
Scott Weaver's Rolling through the Bay from Learning Studio on Vimeo.
So where did Weaver get all of his toothpicks? "I have used different brands of toothpicks depending on what I am building," he explains. "I also have many friends and family members that collect toothpicks in their travels for me. For example, some of the trees in Golden Gate Park are made from toothpicks from Kenya, Morocco, Spain, West Germany and Italy. The heart inside the Palace of Fine Arts is made out of toothpicks people threw at our wedding."
As you can see (if you watched the video) the sculpture features some of the most famous places in SF. On some of the tours, the ping pong balls roll past Chinatown, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Painted Ladies (a.k.a. the "Full House" homes) and the World Series trophy. And on others, they travel through the (rainbow colored) toothpicks of The Castro, down Lombard Street and end up at Fisherman's Wharf. Each landmark is jaw-droppingly detailed and some even commemorate memorable moments in Weaver's own life like the birth of his son.
Rolling Through the Bay will be on display at the Tinkering Studio until May 31, 2011.

Right on, AllForTheGreen. Using wood toothpicks is not "eco" art unless he dumpster dived to get used ones.

Thanks for the big happy laugh, AFTGreen. "Repurposed toothpicks" is a gem of what I hope was conscious humor.
Thanks to Inhabitat for giving us a chance to see Weaver's wonderful whimsy and yes, 'amazingly patient' art.

…How is this "eco" art? Not only does it not say anything about reclaimed/repurposed toothpicks, it sounds like in addition to the whole industry involved in the creation of these toothpicks, he has other people wasting resources just to source specialty ones and then having those transported back. When you buy tens of thousands of toothpicks, that's consumerism.. no ecological responsibility. This is wasteful art, not "eco" art.

Brought to you by East Alabama Regional Planning Commission
Sunday, January 20, 2013
It was just over a week ago that Gardendale pastor Terry Greer allegedly opened fire on his family, killing his wife and wounding his daughter. Police say Greer then stabbed himself.
Friday night, Greer's neighbors came together to hold a candlelight vigil. Karen White attends Gardendeal-Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church where Greer was the pastor. She like many others came to the vigil to pray for the family, the church, and the community as a whole. "To hold each other, lift each other up, in a very difficult time. Cause I don't care what neighborhood, what state, this is a shock. We need to touch people and be touched," said White. Reaching out to others is the main reason that Jennifer Bensko helped organize the vigil. It was her parents who Greer's daughter ran to for help after the shooting. "It's a time we can come together, and for good to come from something bad that has happened. And we just pray that God gets the glory tonight, that his light shines, and that we know that he's here for us," said Bensko. Neighbors say since the shooting there has been a lot of tears and a lot of sadness, but Friday evening was about hope and healing. "I Believe we've come together as a neighborhood. And this really tragic event has brought us together tonight and hopefully will bring us together more as neighbors in the future," said neighbor Doris Moody. "This is the hard part. That as bad as it is, that God is in control," said White. "We can ask why, why, why all day long. But we have to keep moving forward and I think that this is what this is about."

What was the status of merchants during the feudal age in Europe? Did they, like peasants, serve/have allegiance to certain land owning lord? If yes, do they have different status or privileges from usual peasants? Or are they free from allegiance? If the latter, how did they become free from feudal lords who were generally powerful?
Merchants usually raised from the people of the cities, that is craftsmen. They usually did not originate from the peasants and as such had no allegiance to the feudal lords. They also could originate from the city aristocracy, especially in Italy. |
Merchants during the feudal system, tended to be Jews or other "foreigners." Lombards, Genovese and Venetians, (from the most entrepreneurial parts of Italy), and Greeks, tended to perform this function in northern Europe, Dutch (and other western Europeans) in Eastern Europe, etc. Merchants were basically independent of the feudal system, being neither landowners nor peasants. As such, they were regarded with suspicion by the local elites. Their main selling point was that they had good connections with foreigners who could help them procure scarce goods. Hence, they were likely to be "foreign" (rather than local) members of a given society; most locals would not want to take on such a "foreign" role, at least at home. Merchants weren't particularly well respected, but they were tolerated, and were allowed to live a bit outside the usual rules because they performed an essential (trading) service. |

Looking for Digital-to-Analog Converters?
Start shoppingVideo: Marantz NA7004 Network Audio Player
Ringo tells us about the Marantz NA7004 Network Audio Player and shares his experiences taking it home and trying it out as a standalone Internet radio device.
Ringo: Hi. We're here today to talk about the Marantz NA7004 which is a new device from Marantz. And it's a stand-alone streaming device with a high end D-to-A (digital to audio) converter in it , kind of a first of its type. The ability to stream PANDORA, Rhapsody, Napster, Internet radio stations, is basically what this machine is designed for. I mean when you're doing any type of streaming such as Rhapsody or PANDORA normally you don't have any type of D-to-A converter or digital-to-analog converter that can up the quality for you or kind of up convert. This device, using its internal D-to-A converters can really help out in the quality of the streaming.
It also has the ability to plug into your computer through USB so you can play your high res music files back onto this device. Also, you can use it to connect your iPod directly to the front and you can use what is a new nifty thing that's called AirPlay. This device will allow you to stream directly from your computer iTunes library or from the actual iTouch or iPhone directly back onto the device.
Another thing that Marantz actually uses is they have their M-DAX 2 which is a musical digital audio expander. And basically what this doe,s and the way I tested it, I actually went to YouTube when my computer was hooked to it and streamed a low res Aimee Mann song. Basically the settings of 1, 2, or 3, or high, medium, and low allow you to adjust for the poor quality of the MP3s which really is amazing. I was really surprised at how much it expanded MP3. Granted you don't want to do that all the time, but you know if you do run into some low res audio that it does really help.
So one way I was thinking about using this system is as kind of a stand-alone system. Keep in mind this unit does not have any internal amplification so what I recommend is using is a pair of these Audioengine A5 powered speakers. It works out really well. So I mean if you have a home office that's kind of smaller and you wanted to have a high end music streaming device, this is just the perfect product for you here. And just keep in mind you've gotta have it hard wired to your network so as long as you have a CAT-5 or structured wiring in the house then you're good to go.
Another thing is that this has no video output, so the basic way to control it is going to be using the Marantz remote control to actually dial in or search on the front menu. Or you can actually obtain the IP address, which is in the menu, go to your computer, and it will pull up, based on the IP address, a menu that you can actually type in if you're doing like a Rhapsody search. I found that to be a lot easier.
So if you have any more questions about this, feel free to give us a call. We'll be glad to help you out.

K'Tesh, I wouldn't write off that Minoura clamp to quick.
It is well designed to privide significant clamping force along with the quick release you asked for. Most people make the mistake of using the rubber paint protector pads with similar mounts. They are often too compliant. This is what causes the failure. I found one near-failsafe paint protector... credit cards. That plastic is hard enough to not deform when clamped, but compliant enough to protect paint. But, whatever... |
My thoughts are like Simple Nature's, only I'd probably try thin leather (bar tape? old wallet or purse?) glued onto the bars with Barge Cement where the Minoura clamps. Or even just metal-to-metal.
Also, for the tripod threads, blue LocTite 242. Even red perma-locker could work if that joint doesn't need to be disconnected. (dang, the price of that stuff has sure gone up) But I hear you K'Tesh, it's surprising that GoPro doesn't offer a ready-made quick-disconnect mount for bikes with the features you mentioned. Seems like an obvious niche to me. Last edited by Alan; 01-31-2013 at 07:07 PM. Reason: typo |
I appreciate your feedback.
However, I refuse to pay over $30 for a mount (gotta buy both parts (plus shipping) that doesn't meet my requirements. I absolutely have zero faith in camera tripod mounts due to my previous disappointments. I want don't want that long mount dangling off of my camera as I'm dragging it around every day. That set screw (which I realize could have locTite used) is too much of a hassle. I just want to "set it, and forget it". Quote:
GoPro, or NiteRider, or some entrepreneur (Ronco?), will eventually make what I'm describing, and when they do, I'll buy it. If not, when I have the time, I'll make it myself and sell them. If you build it, people will buy... If you build it, people will buy... I just hope they'll ease my pain, and go the distance.... Last edited by K'Tesh; 01-31-2013 at 07:38 PM. |
The "set" screw is a set-it-and-forget-it option. It has a quick release latch once you size it to your handlebar.
I could see a simple DIY version that would be even stronger with the appropriate go-pro mount. Probably something TerraCycle could machine up and offer. If I had a GoPro, I'd design it at a mere percentage of sales, of course. It really is a no-brainer if you have the tools. |
BTW: I have an Oregon Scientific CAM with its little proprietary mounting scheme. Any play whatsoever in the system makes the videos intolerable to watch. Over time, the quick release mechanism just locked up. Even the orbital collar developed play and required shimming. Bike lights are pretty much immune to such minor play... but cameras are not. I can see how the GoPro mount is pretty much worthless on an unsuspended bike.
Finally managed to make my own...
Using a spare NR Cordless MiNewt's Mount, and one of GoPro's self-adhesive helmet mounts I've finally created a mount that fits the bill (mostly, I didn't want to have to mod parts).
To do this, I had to remove the articulated (rotating) mounting deck of the NR mount. To do that, I first had to remove the rubber anti-slip pads from the main body. Next I had to pull the pin that holds the hinge together (was trapping the screw behind it). Next, I removed the screw that holds the main body of the mount to the deck. The NR's main body has a step down in the back. So, to improve the adhesive contact area, I removed the GP's adhesive that would overhang the mount once it was stuck together, then applied it to the area where there was a gap was. After mating the GP mount to the NR mount, To ensure that if the adhesive ever fail the camera wouldn't fall, I decided to zip-tie the mounts together as well. I drilled a hole in the face of the NR main body. continued in pt 2. |
Finally managed to make my own... pt 2
Continued from pt 1
Using my Swiss Army Knife's chisel I removed a part of the centerline ridge on the GP mount, then drilled a hole through it into the cavity for the old deck screw. I then did basically the same in the back of the GP mount. I had to make sure that the zip-tie wasn't too wide (thus preventing the GP's clip from sliding into place). On my first attempt, I tried to round the edges of the cuts I made with a lighter (big mistake, only managed to mar the finish). Lastly, I pinned the hinge back together, and slipped the rubber anti-slip pads back into place. The mount is working fine, now if I can only re-arrange the dashboard, I should be able to do everything used to do (plus some). I mounted the handlebar portion rotated back to allow me to push the camera forward and prevent the camera from rolling down while riding. This also prevents the camera from falling off if it's not fully clipped in. |
Extreme Gadget Mounting Hardware
Consider RAM Mounts for mounting items on your bike when you want something durable, good looking and don't have the time or skills to make it yourself.
They have a little section of GoPro camera specific mounting hardware. The underlying design principal of their product line is a hard rubber ball that pivots inside either end of a gripping arm. You buy:
There are a lot of pre-matched kits for popular user devices. For the hardcore tinkerers they have components page where the parts are grouped first by the size of the rubber ball (key component: bigger supports more weight and vibration) then menus of the bases, arms and mounting adapters. These are all the same priced components as are in their kits on the gadget specific pages. This stuff works very very well. I bought some for my car and the big rig I drive. Considering the videos of the military using this stuff there is no question that you could securely mount a gaming laptop to your handlebars if you were so inclined. Use this knowledge wisely
Knowledge is NOT a crime. |

Comments: Great gloves. Just finished my 1st season with them and they held up great. So lightweight and such a great feel when stickhandling. They are not overly flashy, but that should not matter. The palms are still in perfect condition, just a little black from tape. I like the pinched fit on the sides of the hand. Keeps the gloves snug and makes puck control easier.

A combination of difenoconazole and tebuconazole, MAGNELLO brings new options for disease control and growth regulation on Oilseed Rape.
The flag leaf and ear together contribute almost 70% of the final yield in winter wheat. Fungicides must optimise the grain filling potential of the crop over the full grain filling period
In Irish and European blight trials REVUS demonstrated consistent control through rapid canopy applications. REVUS was also the top Euroblight fungicide for season-long foliar blight control

Agricultural censuses and agricultural surveys are the main sources of data on agricultural holdings and sub-holdings, and can serve as vehicle for collecting data on the type and amount of work contributed by women and men to the agricultural production. Among others, they provide data on agricultural productivity, characteristics of the agricultural holdings, socio-economic characteristics of the holder and of the household members, use of agricultural inputs and services in the holding, and farm labour. The unit of enumeration in agricultural censuses and surveys is the agricultural holding and most of the data are collected at this level. Thus, the information provided can be used for analysis of access to productive resources at the level of female and male headed holdings. In some countries, some of the data are also collected at the level of subholdings. However, other sources of data, such as the Living Standard Measurement Study – Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA), or thematic agricultural surveys should be considered for obtaining more disaggregated data at the individual level of household members. Agricultural censuses and surveys have a distinctive perspective on agricultural labour, compared to other data sources. The information collected refer not only to the main job of the person (such as in the labour force surveys and population censuses), but also to the secondary and tertiary economic activities. Agricultural censuses and surveys may also favour an "usual activity" approach in collecting data on economic activity for persons living in agricultural households, as opposed to the "current activity" approach commonly used in labour force surveys and population censuses. The "usual activity" approach is expected to better capture the subtleties of seasonal and intermittent economic activity in agriculture.
Living Standard Measurement Surveys (LSMS) often integrate in their data collection aspects related to access to agricultural resources, including data on ownership, decision-making, access to financial services, and labour. In particular, the LSMS Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) are designed to have a strong focus on agriculture; detailed data are collected on basic crop production, storage/sales; productivity of main crops; land holdings; farming practices; input use and technology adoption; access to and use of services, infrastructure and natural resources; livestock and fishery. Households are the units of enumeration and most of the data are collected at the household level. Nevertheless, some of the data on access to productive resources in agriculture are collected at individual level, or disaggregated at the level of sub-holdings such as plots of lands and types of livestock.
Labour Force Surveys (LFS) are the main sources of data on labour force participation, employment and unemployment, by industry (branch) of economic activity. Data by industry, usually collected only with regard to the main job of the person and classified according to the International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC), are the basis for obtaining statistics on population economically active in agriculture. The main job is often defined as the job where the person spends most time working, or, sometimes, the job that provides the highest income from employment. However, many women and men are involved in agricultural work as a secondary or tertiary economic activity, on their own agricultural holding or for an employer. These types of farm labourers are captured in other sources of data, such as agricultural censuses and surveys.
Time Use Surveys are useful to achieve a better understanding of the time and type of labour invested by women, men, girls and boys in family farming within the general context of household production.
Exclusion of small agricultural holdings from agricultural censuses or surveys induce a gender bias in the statistics obtained, as women holders tend to concentrate in this sub-sector. The unit of enumeration in agricultural censuses and surveys is the agricultural holding. An agricultural holding is an economic unit of agricultural production under single management, comprising all livestock kept and all land used wholly or partly for agricultural production purposes, without regard to title, legal form or size (FAO, 2007a). There are two types of agricultural holdings: (i) holdings in the household sector – operated by household members; and (ii) holdings in the non-household sector – e.g. corporations and government institutions. In most countries, the majority of agricultural production is in the household sector (FAO, 2007a). Proper coverage of the household sector is the most important from the perspective of generating gender statistics, and the inclusion of all types of units needs to be carefully considered when preparing the frame for censuses and surveys.
Comprehensive coverage of gender issues in access to productive resources in agriculture require use of units of data collection and data analysis more disaggregated than the holding level. More disaggregated data may be collected and analysed at sub-holding level. A sub-holding is defined as a single agricultural activity or group of activities managed by a particular person or group of persons (sub-holders) in the holder's household on behalf of the agricultural holder (FAO, 2007a). A sub-holding may be a single plot, a whole field, a livestock associated with a plot, field or parcel, or a livestock operation without any land. What is commonly reported as a male-headed agricultural holding may comprise various sub-holdings where women are the main decision-makers. When data are collected at the sub-holding level, the role of women in agriculture becomes more visible. More disaggregated data can also be obtained at individual level, especially with regard to ownership, farm labour, time use (including for agricultural activities), and access to formal financial services, informal credit or support groups. Such data provide a more nuanced picture of gender differences in access to productive resources in agriculture, including within the household.
Many of the "male-headed" agricultural holdings are in fact holdings headed jointly by women and men that are incorrectly recorded due to omissions and gender bias of interviewers and/or respondents. The role of women as decision-makers in agriculture should be adequately measured by clear identification of the agricultural holder. By definition, the agricultural holding is under single management, however, there may be cases where more than one person – for example, husband and wife - is involved in the major decisions regarding resource use and management control over the operations of the agricultural holding. These persons can be classified as joint holders. This concept should help to better reflect the realities of farm management practices, especially those related to the role of women.
