'The gypsy life'
Milan. Show 2.
Slightly odd morning in that I checked out of the hotel not knowing where I would sleep tonight. The band are doing a runner back to Nice right after the show, but I was planning to head straight to Paris as there are the last few staging pieces arriving, post-modification. However, word came through that my presence might be required at a creative meeting in Nice tomorrow, so perhaps I should go with the band tonight. In order to hedge my bets, I took all of my luggage with me giving me the freedom to head to Paris, Nice or back to the Milan hotel depending on how the day panned out. Ah, the gypsy life.
The band wanted to soundcheck today, so I headed in to San Siro about noon to make sure I beat them there. I was delighted to learn that the high pylon mirrorball had dried out and come back to life and that the weather was due to stay dry. They did their sound check, after which we had a dressing room huddle to go over a few parts of the show which require some work. The show is generally in very good shape (remarkably so this early in a tour) but like all U2 shows, it will grow and develop over the course of time, so I guess we're just getting on it early.
Tonight's show felt the best so far with everything feeling tighter somehow. It's a little odd to play across a stadium, so I imagine it was just more comfortable for the guys tonight, having had one show to get used to it. 'Stuck in a Moment' appeared for the first time - never an absolute favourite of mine on the Elevation Tour, if I'm brutally honest, but in a new acoustic arrangement I found myself really enjoying it. I find it really interesting how songs fare from tour to tour and how the way that I feel about them varies greatly depending on their context. I wasn't exactly campaigning to have Sunday Bloody Sunday in this show, not having particularly enjoyed that song live since about '83, but in it's new incarnation it's starting to become a highlight. During the show I got the word that there was no Nice meeting so I was cleared to go to Paris. It's a moment-by-moment thing out here...
Thursday 9th July 2009. Milan to Paris.
Took an afternoon flight to Paris and found the entire backline crew also on board. The tour buses were due to arrive in Milan, but apparently theirs didn't so they'll try again in Paris. As the tour is well underway now, I'll tell you a funny story concerning the chambermaids at one of the hotels. It had very nice rooms featuring marble bathrooms with extraordinarily large showers. In the oversized shower cubicle was a very large ceiling rose which discharged a satisfying amount of water, plus a hand-held shower thingy for rinsing yourself with. The hand-held part was parked in a clip on the wall facing the door, and the water flow between the two was controlled by a lever next to the tap, with which you could choose one or the other. Now, I never experienced this personally, but several of our touring party mentioned that they were consistently being assaulted by the hand-held shower. They'd open the glass shower door and turn on the tap, at which point a jet of freezing water would shoot out of the hand-held unit and hit them in the face. Consistently, the shower was being left with the water flow directed to the hand-held unit, which in turn was being left in its holder and aimed directly at the door. It was happening far too frequently to be coincidence and it seemed unlikely that it was hotel policy, but then we realised all the people who were experiencing the shower assault were on the same floor. Shivers descended our spines as we realised that they were facing the ultimate nightmare nemesis... the Rogue Chambermaid. Put me up against an army of Ninjas any day, rather than having to take on the faceless terror which is Housekeeping With A Grudge. They have your room key. They are amongst your belongings at their most vulnerable, with the casual ability to make your life subtly miserable at their leisure. Don't even think about what they could do with your toothbrush.
After three days of continual shower attacks, one member of our party, (who should best remain nameless) decided to fight back and on departure constructed a booby trap. The massive bathroom leading to a separate toilet, was to be the scene of the sting. Scattering some decoy items on the floor to distract the Rogue Maids attention, our hero balanced a rolled up sopping wet towel on top of the door, which was left ajar. The door is pushed open and... splat. Marvellously puerile entertainment for the weary traveller. There's no punchline of course, as we can't know what happened, but it does bring to mind all sorts of possibilities, not least a series of racy paperback novels along the lines of 'When Good Maids Go Bad', or 'Feral Housekeepers Take Manhattan'.
OK, OK, I'll stop. Just rambling, and anyway we've just started our descent into Paris Charles de Gaulle.

SuzannaBamaHow Much Should Be Used? Can I Comb My Hair After The Product Is In? Will My Furniture Be Stained?It would seem that somebody at the company could comment if you can comb your hair or not. The question was asked two years ago. The reviews seem negative but it could be that there are no directions and people are applying to much or it is sticky and gets stain potential color all over.

Helen W.This Product Is TerribleBought this from another company and never had any problems. Seem it cheaper at your company so got several cans. First of all it sprays all over and messy. If you touch your hair even hrs later it gets all over your hands and under your nails. Does not wash off your hands easy. If you sit and lean against a wall or something it is all over everything. I have never had this happen before and been using streaks and tips for years. I have some cans left and am going to throw them out..........thanks anywayJan 20, 2012Link to this post

Beavers - Wildlife
Beavers (Castor canadensis) are 3 to 4 feet long (nose to tail), tail is 10 inches, and weigh 35 to 70 lbs. Body color is dark brown with a large, flat paddle-shaped tail.
Beavers pose little threat to humans, their property or pets. Beavers are naturally shy animals. Beavers are fundamental to the creation, maintenance and support of fragile wetland ecosystems. Wetland ecosystems provide habitat to a diverse range of fish, birds, and mammals.
Beavers are primarily active at night and dusk. Beavers live in lodges near water embankments. They construct lodges using branches, mud and aquatic debris.
Beavers are social animals and live in complex family groups (colonies). Beavers breed in winter and raise their young together. Gestation is 12 to 15 weeks. Young are born in May and June and weaned in 6 weeks. Young beavers live with their family in lodge for two years before leaving to establish their own family and lodge.
Beavers are herbivores. A natural diet primarily consists of woody plants and aquatic plants. A modified diet can include farm crops such as corn or soybeans.
Beavers inhabit wetland and riparian areas, including rivers, streams, marshes, lakes and ponds in Fairfax County.

East Africa's priceless rangelands for years have struggled against degradation caused by overgrazing and soil-depleting crop farming. Now ecologists are coming to grips with a third villain: the leleshwa weed, a fast-growing, tough-to-control shrub that is overtaking large sections of grassland.
Six countries in Africa have established the world's first international task force to combat poaching and other wildlife crimes.
The Republic of Congo, Kenya, Lesotho, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia agreed in March to empower the "African Interpol," as many call the task force, to help stop illegal trade in wildlife, the United Nations Environment Program announced recently.
After a month of mourning for the eight tourists and the park warden killed by Rwandan rebels in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, authorities reopened the Ugandan park to visitors Apr. 1.
The Uganda Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Industry (MTTI) declared the area safe after security measures were improved. A spokesman also said the government is committed to conserving the rare mountain gorillas that inhabit Bwindi.
Armed guards protected the 12 foreigners, including three Americans, who were the first tourists to visit Bwindi since the Mar. 1 attack by Rwandan rebels.
Sometimes it takes a big, strong father-figure to get an unruly teenage male to shape up.
And that's not just in humans. Take the situation in South Africa's Pilanesberg National Park, where the matriarchal elephants a few years ago welcomed and nurtured the very young male orphans relocated from Kruger National Park.
But once the orphans became teenagers, the female group spurned them. Like unconstrained adolescents of many species, the males, their hormones ablaze, became seriously aggressive, even killing some rhinos.
The number of elephants in Tsavo East and Tsavo West national parks in Kenya continues to grow, but more slowly than in the early 1990s.
A January aerial survey of the two parks plus the Rombo and Galana Ranches and Mkomazi Game Reserve in Tanzania (about 15,400 square miles) yielded a count of 8,100 elephants, up 729 from the 1994 count.
A January aerial survey of the two parks plus the Rombo and Galana Ranches and Mkomazi Game Reserve in Tanzania (about 15,400 square miles) yielded a count of 8,100 elephants, up 729 from the 1994 count helped in the survey.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Following our recommendations for the flagship Sony SLT-A99, we've had the opportunity to assess the firm's semi-professional 24-Mpix DT (APS-C) format model - the SLT-A77 - with a sizeable collection of Sony and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these models perform best when paired with the camera. |
After evaluating the performance characteristics of lenses mounted on full-frame models such as Nikon D800 and D600, as well as the Canon EOS 5D Mk III, we've now had the opportunity to analyze a range of lenses on the Sony SLT-A99. In this concise report, we'll see how well the combination of Sony's high-end image sensor and the latest Alpha mount lenses perform. |
This new Sony "easy choice lens" is fully built in plastic, which means it's quite light (175g). Manufactured in China, it has a pretty affordable price tag at about 249 USD. |
This G-series lens, equivalent to the L-series by Canon or DA-series by Pentax, could be placed along the lines of a Konica Minolta 35 mm f/1.4 G. This 35mm lens is fast, with its 1.4 aperture. It has a perfect wide angle for a full frame camera such as a Sony A900 or a Sony A850, this lens is a good 50mm equivalent mounted on a APS-C camera (like an A350, or the latest A580 and SLT A55). A brief review is available here... |

future testing with a99
Just wondering, since the a99 is already out, are you planning on re-testing the high-end lenses Sony have with it (i.e. G and Zeiss)? Would be great to see the results!

Mostly for Norwegians, but easily adoptable to others. Very handy if you are brainstorming for a new domainname.
Will only display the available ones..
You can usually do this better with dig, but if you dont have dig, or the TLD only have an online service to check with, this will be usefull..
Log a command's votes,
then run:
gnuplot -persist <(echo "plot 'votes' with lines")
Very useful in shell scripts because you can run a task nicely in the background using job-control and output progress until it completes.
Here's an example of how I use it in backup scripts to run gpg in the background to encrypt an archive file (which I create in this same way). $! is the process ID of the last run command, which is saved here as the variable PI, then sleeper is called with the process id of the gpg task (PI), and sleeper is also specified to output : instead of the default . every 3 seconds instead of the default 1. So a shorter version would be sleeper $!;
The wait is also used here, though it may not be needed on your system.
echo ">>> ENCRYPTING SQL BACKUP"
gpg --output archive.tgz.asc --encrypt archive.tgz 1>/dev/null &
PI=$!; sleeper $PI ":" 3; wait $PI && rm archive.tgz &>/dev/null
Previously to get around the $! not always being available, I would instead check for the existance of the process ID by checking if the directory /proc/$PID existed, but not everyone uses proc anymore. That version is currently the one at http://www.askapache.com/linux-unix/bash_profile-functions-advanced-shell.html but I plan on upgrading to this new version soon.
This will log your internet download speed.
You can run
gnuplot -persist <(echo "plot 'bps' with lines")
to get a graph of it.
Get sopcast links for live sports from http://myp2p.eu (for example)
Get sp-sc or sp-auth binary by googling (sopcast + linux)
eg http://www.jbg.f2s.com/sp-sc.gz
Requires the 32bit libstdc++5 package.
After exiting mplayer, type 'killall sp-sc'
[Note: This command needs to be run as root].
If you are downloading something large at night, you can start wget as a normal user and issue the above command as root. When the download is done, the computer will automatically go to sleep. If at any time you feel the computer should not go to sleep automatically(like if you find the download still continuing in the morning), just create an empty file called nosleep in /tmp directory.
I wanted to keep a backup of my company database server on my local homeserver. After I found maatkit to sync databases, everything except security seemed fine. SSH takes care of that part.
checkfor: have the shell check anything you're waiting for.
'while : ; do' is an infinite loop
'$*' executes the command passed in
'sleep 5' - change for your tastes, sleep for 5 seconds
bash, ksh, likely sh, maybe zsh
Ctrl-c to break the loop
doesn't require "at", change the "2h" to whatever you want... (deafult unit for sleep is seconds)
Ummmm.. Saw that gem on some dead-head hippies VW bus at phish this summer.. It's actually one of my favorite ways of using bash, very clean. It shows what you can do with the cool advanced features like job control, redirection, combining commands that don't wait for each other, and the thing I like the most is the use of the ( ) to make this process heirarchy below, which comes in very handy when using fifos for adding optimization to your scripts or commands with similar acrobatics.
1 gplovr 30667 1 wait 1324 1 -bash
0 gplovr 30672 30667 - 516 3 \_ sleep 3
1 gplovr 30669 1 wait 1324 1 -bash
0 gplovr 30673 30669 - 516 0 \_ sleep 5
1 gplovr 30671 1 wait 1324 1 -bash
0 gplovr 30674 30671 - 516 1 \_ sleep 7
the command for the impatient sysadmin: simply checks every five secs, if a host or a specific service running on it is up. ideal for hosts that are configured not to respond on pings.
This command produces the output of "du -sk testfile" in every 10 seconds. You can change the command to be whatever you want.
Uses logger in a while loop to log memory statistics frequently into the local syslog server.
Chronic Bash function:
chronic 3600 time # Print the time in your shell every hour
chronic 60 updatedb > /dev/null # update slocate every minute
Note: use 'jobs' to list background tasks and fg/bg to take control of them.

U.S. News & World Report reports that the National Association of Realtors expects average rates for 30-year fixed mortgages to gradually increase throughout 2015—from 3.8% in Q1 to 4.7% in Q4. Valentine's Day has come and gone, but couples continue commemorating their love with ceremonies, celebration and cake. Whether you're engaged, married or divorced, you also have a relationship with your credit. Shopping for Christmas gifts on December 26th doesn't seem like a good idea. In fact, having read that, you probably just imagined the ghost of Christmas present showing a sad scene of belated gift giving and disappointed loved ones. With the New Year just a few days away, here are some competing viewpoints on auto and mortgage industry predictions for 2015. The holiday season is about to get into full swing (if it hasn't started already!). Many shoppers will be using credit and debit cards, but some will decide to stick with cash. According to TIME.com, here are the most-forgotten New Year's Resolutions. Are any of these yours? Seeing more new cars on the road or cranes in your area? That isn't surprising given recent reports. You can start saving for child's college education today. Learn about what option may be best for you. Buying your first car is considerably more expensive than the sticker price reveals.

Do they come from outside or do we do it to ourselves?
Ok last weekend my girlfriend and I have been having a lovely conversation around how much in love we are, how much we appreciate and admire each other, how we look forward to sharing our lives together. Next day we have a great day out down along the Ocean at a friends barbecue. Sunday I leave her place so she can have lunch with her sister which regularly happens.
Monday I'm involved in a conversation where she drops a massive nuke- she's not sure she's over her last relationship and may still have feelings for her last boyfriend, and she san't honestly be in a relationship until shes worked it out where she is and with this type of feelings around. I call on all my strength from the program and tell her I love her and that I need her to be happy and she has to take her own journey, and that I value and admire her honesty.
I immediately go into full on devastation mode. My sponsor and home group are there and have been carrying me along and keeping me sane and sober until I can walkthe path again (and stop bloody crying!)
I have shared with many members, taken inventory and seen my part in my misery. I haven't slept well, barely eaten. Cannot get her out of my head, miss her every second. I know that there is a plan here that is bigger and better. My head runs away into the past and the future, driving me mad. I torture myself with hopes and dreams.
I have prayed for guidance and direction. I have prayed for her happiness. I have addressed issues of my own and prayed for them, for forgiveness for myself for my poor conduct in previous relationships. I have even finally made amends to the mother of my children... I have prayed on my knees in tears for the defects that came to light to be removed. I have prayed for the strength and guidance through god's grace to give her the space and time she needs, and that I need, so god can come in and take over. I still want to message or email her with every cell in my body every minute of the day. I pray constantly that gos will take this unhealthy needy thinking away and show me how to behave like a healthy man. I have noticed she is online even while I'm writing this. I will only respond if she contacts me I think, praying for the right words. We have exchanged a few emails and messages over the week, of a fun and caring nature. I have prayed for patience. I have prayed for anything that god can do to show me how to let go and let him, to live and let live. I know that hurt people hurt people. Everything I see and everything I do reminds me of this massive hole in my world - how do I get god to fill it?
I have even offered a prayer of gratitude that I am being given this chance to grow into a better man through this and be able to turn the experience to help others in future. And meant it.
So why do I feel like I have been run over by a truck, repeatedly?
Am I doing something wrong, what have I missed?
I have spent the week attending meetings, talking to newcomers, being of service.
Why can't I stand to be on this planet without her? I did it fine before.
Are these extreme painful emotions being fuelled by me.
Please help friends.

This article is missing information about sex organs of non-mammals. (September 2013) |
A sex organ or primary sexual characteristic, as narrowly defined, is any anatomical part of the body involved in sexual reproduction and constituting the reproductive system in a complex organism, especially the external sex organs; the external sex organs are also commonly referred to as the genitalia or genitals.[1][2]
Flowers are the reproductive organs of flowering plants,[3] cones are the reproductive organs of coniferous plants,[4] whereas mosses, ferns, and other similar plants have gametangia for reproductive organs.[5]
The Latin term genitalia, sometimes anglicized as genitals, is used to describe the externally visible sex organs, known as primary genitalia or external genitalia: in male mammals, the penis and scrotum; and in female mammals, the clitoris and vulva.
The other, hidden sex organs are referred to as the secondary genitalia or internal genitalia. The most important of these are the gonads, a pair of sex organs, specifically the testes in the male or the ovaries in the female. Gonads are the true sex organs, generating reproductive gametes containing inheritable DNA. They also produce most of the primary hormones that affect sexual development, and regulate other sexual organs and sexually differentiated behaviors.
A more ambiguously defined term is erogenous zone, subjectively, any portion of the body that when stimulated produces erotic sensation, but always prominently including the genitalia.
In general zoology, given the great variety in organs, physiologies, and behaviors involved in copulation, male genitalia are more strictly defined as "all male structures that are inserted in the female or that hold her near her gonopore during sperm transfer"; female genitalia are defined as "those parts of the female reproductive tract that make direct contact with male genitalia or male products (sperm, spermatophores) during or immediately after copulation".[6]
External and internal organs[edit]
The visible portion of the mammalian genitals for males consists of the scrotum and penis; for females, it consists of the labia, clitoris, and vagina.
In placental mammals, females have two genital orifices, the vagina and urethra, while males have only one, the urethra.[7] Male and female genitals have many nerve endings, resulting in pleasurable and highly sensitive touch.[8][9] In most human societies, particularly in conservative ones, genitals are considered a public indecency and sometimes even illegal if left uncovered in public.[10]
In mammals, sex organs include:
Female | Male |
In typical prenatal development, sexual organs originate from a common anlage anatomy during early gestation and differentiate into male or female variations. The SRY gene, usually located on the Y chromosome and encoding the testis determining factor, determines the direction of this differentiation. The absence of it allows the gonads to continue to develop into ovaries.
Thereafter, the development of the internal reproductive organs and the external genitalia is determined by hormones produced by certain fetal gonads (ovaries or testes) and the cells' response to them. The initial appearance of the fetal genitalia (a few weeks after conception) looks basically feminine: a pair of "urogenital folds" with a small protuberance in the middle, and the urethra behind the protuberance. If the fetus has testes, and if the testes produce testosterone, and if the cells of the genitals respond to the testosterone, the outer urogenital folds swell and fuse in the midline to produce the scrotum; the protuberance grows larger and straighter to form the penis; the inner urogenital swellings grow, wrap around the penis, and fuse in the midline to form the penile urethra.
Each sexual organ in one sex has a homologous counterpart in the other one. See a list of homologues of the human reproductive system. In a larger perspective, the whole process of sexual differentiation also includes development of secondary sexual characteristics such as patterns of pubic and facial hair and female breasts that emerge at puberty. Furthermore, differences in brain structure arise, affecting, but not absolutely determining, behavior.
Intersex is the development of genitalia somewhere between typical male and female genitalia. Once the child is born, the parents are faced with decisions that are often difficult to make, such as whether or not to modify the genitalia, assign the child as male or female, or leave the genitalia as is. Some parents allow their doctors to choose. If they do decide to modify the genitalia, they have approximately a 50% chance of getting genitalia that will match the child's gender identity. If they pick the wrong one, their child may begin to show symptoms of transsexualism, which can lead them to a life of discomfort until they are able to remedy the issue.[11]
Because of the strong sexual selection affecting the structure and function of genitalia, they form an organ system that evolves faster that any other.[12] A great variety of genital form and function may therefore be found among animals.
Flowering plants[edit]
Sexual reproduction in flowering plants involves the union of the male and female germ cells. The sex organs, contained within the flower, may contain both male and female sex organs (these are known as perfect, bisexual, or hermaphrodite) or only one of the two (known as imperfect or unisexual). Also, those plants whose flowers are unisexual may contain both male and female flowers, or there may be purely male and female plants of the same species.
During a plant's sexual reproduction the stamen (male sex organ) produces pollen from an anther. These male germ cells are carried to the pistil (female sex organ), with the ovary at its base where fertilization can take place. The male germ cells can be carried by air, rain, water, insects, or other symbiotic animals, or simply by gravity.

The First Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR):
Leading Through Civilian Power
The joint Department of State and USAID Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR) (pdf, 3.1mb) is a sweeping assessment of how the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) can become more efficient, accountable, and effective in a world in which rising powers, growing instability, and technological transformation create new threats, but also new opportunities.
State Department Releases

04/21/14 Secretary of State John Kerry To Launch the 2014 Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR); Office of the Spokesperson; Washington, DC
The QDDR provides a blueprint for elevating American "civilian power" to better advance our national interests and to be a better partner to the U.S. military. Leading through civilian power means directing and coordinating the resources of all America's civilian agencies to prevent and resolve conflicts; help countries lift themselves out of poverty into prosperous, stable, and democratic states; and build global coalitions to address global problems.
Civilian power is the combined force of civilian personnel across government and civil society. It is the power of diplomats in 271 missions around the world, development professionals in more than 100 nations, and experts from other U.S. government agencies working together to advance America's core interests in the world
In addition to the QDDR, the QDDR Addendum is located here.

A variation of the word dro, which is slang for hydroponically grown marijuana.

An unknown nickname for khangaroo located in Berkeley, San Diego, and Vietnam. This species is larger than its fellow peers, thus tending to be stronger and more dominant when it comes to mating. It also has a rich outer appearance due to its intense smoothness. Lastly, its intellect is superior compared those it surrounds due to its personal experiences. This khangaroo attracts mass media and groups of people because they have a fascination with its peculiar yet charming behavior. However, most people do not identify the khangaroo by its nickname since not everyone is able to comprehend the intricacy of the word. It is a wonder to behold to gaze upon the khangaroo, and truly a blessing to feast with it.

Monolithic Reactor
Application ID: 66
This model simulates the catalytic abatement of a volatile organic compound (VOC), in this case a contaminant in a waste gas. An analytical expression describes the velocity profile in the free channel, while reaction occurs in the washcoat that makes up the tubular shape of the free channel.
For simple geometries, the reactor can be described by a 2D model using time as the axial direction (or z-axis). This can be done if it is assumed that no significant change occurs in the transport properties in the axial direction. This means that the velocity profile is constant, and that diffusion in the axial direction is negligible.
This model was performed using the Chemical Engineering Module's pseudo application modes. This allow for good computational memory conservation as the model is performed in 2D with a time-stepping algorithm simulating the third dimension.

Research with Ethnic and Cultural Groups
Self Described Happy Couples and Factors
of Successful Marriage in Iran (click here)
Daneshpour, Asoodeh and colleagues (2011)
The purpose of this study is to identify factors of successful marriage from the viewpoint of happy couples in Iran. For this purpose, 365 couples (N = 730) were selected from staff of several industrial companies and teachers in Tehran and Birjand. Purposive sampling method was used. Eleven couples with highest scores from Four ENRICH Couple Scales (2010) was described themselves as happy couples underwent an in-depth, semi-structured interview. Happy couples formulated effective factors for their successful marriage as follows: a) we trust each other and are committed, b) we consult with each other, c) we think our relationship is intimate, d) we solve our own problems, e) we cooperate with each other in children?s upbringing f) we share common beliefs, and g) we express our love to each other. Traditional patriarchal and matriarchal couples and non-traditional couples differed only in dealings with family management.
Validation of the Korean Premarital Inventory: K–PREPARE (click here)
Kim, Nami (2009)
An analysis of the theoretical field identified 11 factors which could affect the marriage preparation of Korean premarital couples. The K-PREPARE assessed 10 of the 11 factors. Furthermore, 7 factors of the K-PREPARE were in harmony with Premarital Preparation Evaluation Scale (PREPARE) developed for Korea. This study found the K-PREPARE to be culturally relevant.
Methodologically, this study examined translation verification, the structure of sub-scales and reliability analysis, as well as construct validity, criterion-related validity, and predictive validity of the K-PREPARE. This study proved that the K-PREPARE is a relevant and valid tool for Korean premarital couples.
Doctoral Dissertation 2009, Department of Education, Yonsei University
Discriminate Validity of Korean Version of ENRICH (click here)
Jae woo Park, Kevin Deokil Kim, Wan young Song, & Jee yeon Lee (2009)
This study was designed to validate Korean ENRICH (K-ENRICH) Inventory. A total sample of 1058 married couples' data was analyzed. Internal consistencies of K-ENRICH subscales ranged from .68 to .90 and the coefficients of temporal stability (test-retest) ranged from .57 to .89. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that K-ENRICH consisted of 10 factors. Model fit indices were acceptable (RMSEA=.065, TLI=.90, and CFI=.92). Correlations between FACES-III (Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale 3rd Ed.) and 10 subscales of K-ENRICH ranged from .57-.85. Discriminant analysis, which was done for assessing discriminant validity, showed that Positive Couple Agreement (PCA) scores could discern the married satisfied group from the married dissatisfied group with 95.8% accuracy. Overall, results found a high internal consistency, test-retest reliability and construct validity.

Hispanic & Caucasian Married Couple Types based on ENRICH - 2006 (click here)
Olson & Garrett (2006)
Although it is often assumed that different ethnic groups will have different patterns of marriage, this study found considerable similarity in couple types across four ethnic combinations of married couples (both Hispanic, both Caucasian, Hispanic Male—Caucasian Female, Hispanic Female—Caucasian Male). This study is based on ENRICH data used in a dissertation by Jeffery Garrett (2004) who found no significant differences between the four groups of couples on the major ENRICH scales (i.e. marital satisfaction, communication, conflict resolution).
Cultural Adaptation of PREPARE with Japanese Premarital Couples - 2004 (click here)
Shuji G. Asai & David H. Olson (2004)
In this study, we attempted to achieve a culturally sensitive adaptation of the PREPARE Inventory with Japanese couples. A Japanese premarital couple typology was developed using cluter analyses. Several unique features of the Japanese premarital types are identified and discussed.

Five Types of African American Marriages based on ENRICH - 2001 (click here)
William D. Allen & David H. Olson (2001)
This study developed a marital typology based on a non-random, national sample of 415 African-American marriages who took the ENRICH marital assessment inventory. The resulting typology was compared with a similar sample of about 7,000 marriages (who also took ENRICH), including distressed couples and those seeking marital enrichment. Five types of African-American marriages were identified through cluster analysis of positive couple agreement (PCA) scores in ten relationship domains. Relationships between marital satisfaction, marital stability and the five marital types were then analyzed. The five types (from highest marital satisfaction to lowest) were labeled as vitalized, harmonious, traditional, conflicted, and devitalized. The study replicated the number and characteristics of marital types found in predominantly European-American marital samples, including the percentage of African-American marriages in each type.

The Mediational Interventions for Sensitizing Caregivers (MISC) model developed by Professor Pnina Klein is to enhance the cognitive and social development of children throughout the developing world . Although MISC has proven effective in a longitudinal study in two poorer communities of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia , it has not been used with HIV households or in the Ugandan context where there is desperate need for enhanced caregiving in HIV-affected families. We propose to work with community leaders, healthcare workers, and parents/caregivers in adapting MISC to the Ugandan cultural and social context in Kayunga. For intervention families, MISC training will be added to an ongoing home health care visit (HHCV) program already in place for HIV children in Kayunga district. We will then evaluate whether MISC parent/caregiver training improves cognitive and psychosocial development in their children, and whether clinical stability of the HIV child is an important modifier for MISC training benefit.

Other Name: MISC group
Detailed Description:
In Uganda, about 110,000 children 0 to 14 years are living with AIDS however enhanced access to ARV medications has changed the prognosis for infected children from a uniformly deadly disease early in childhood to one in which survival well into adolescence is not uncommon. However, these prognostic changes have made psychosocial, educational, and quality-of-life considerations for the HIV child all the more critical. Studies on Ugandan HIV infected children show that they have cognitive, motor and emotional problems. These findings support the need for caregiving interventions with HIV children that extend beyond provision for basic medical and nutritional care only. These findings support the urgent need for programs that minister to the emotional and psychosocial needs of HIV-affected children.
The MISC is one such intervention that has proven effective in improving the cognitive, psychosocial and emotional needs of disadvantaged children. The MISC intervention is based on the use of naturally occurring situations and objects in the home environment. The process of training the caregivers in MISC theory and strategies is structured, whereas the process of implementing MISC with the children in the household is individualized and unstructured. The training of the caregiver is focused on the acquisition of knowledge and skills necessary for effective intervention to enrich the child's home-based learning environment.
Specific Objectives.
- To establish the feasibility of MISC for caregivers of HIV infected children in Kayunga.
- To investigate whether cognition and psychosocial functioning of HIV infected children are improved by MISC.
- To determine whether cognitive and psychosocial gains for children of MISC-trained caregivers is moderated by disease severity of the child.
3. METHODS Phase 1: Adaptation of the MISC Study design. Adaptation of the MISC will be done using a cross sectional descriptive study. Prior to recruitment of participants, Prof. Klein will hold a series of focus group discussions (FDGs) in Kayunga to critique the MISC intervention.
Study population. Community leaders, health workers and parents/caregivers in Kayunga district, three FGDs will be held for each of these groups. They will partner with Dr. Klein in revising and adapting the MISC curriculum for training the local MISC staff who will accompany the CAI teams as they visit the HIV children and caregivers for the home health care visitation (HHCV). These CAI nursing staff will then train the caregivers each month as part of these HHCV visits.
Phase 2: MISC intervention Study design. This will be a randomized control study where HIV infected children younger than 6 yrs of age will be recruited and randomly assigned to either MISC intervention or non- intervention. All children will be recruited from the Child Health Advocacy International (CAI) project in Kayunga district during their routine home visits. Consecutive sampling will be used till the sample size is reached.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 16 Months to 6 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Confirmed HIV positive children (ELISA and Western blot), less than six years of age.
Principal caregiver(s) of the eligible study child is able and willing to attend an initial daylong training session at a central location in Kayunga, followed by home-based monthly HHCV/MISC or HHCV support/training sessions for a one-year period and accompanying caregiving, as well as clinical/medical, cognitive, and psychosocial assessments for the child.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Medical history of serious birth complications or other known brain injury or disorder requiring hospitalization or continued evidence of seizure or other neurological disability.

Kuroda out to start new win streak vs. Astros
Humber looking to follow Harrell's lead from series opener
The Astros roughed up Andy Pettitte for seven runs in Monday's series-opening 9-1 win at Yankee Stadium, snapping New York's four-game winning streak. Can Houston expect more of the same on Tuesday against another Yankees starter who's been dealing early this season?
Hiroki Kuroda has been nearly untouchable in the four starts since he left his season debut early due to an injury, going 3-0 with a 2.28 ERA. The right-hander is one victory shy of a career-best winning streak, which he'll look to lock up as he takes the mound on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium to face the Astros and fellow righty Philip Humber.
Kuroda proved in his last outing that he's capable of picking up a win even without his best stuff. He allowed three early runs to the Blue Jays on Thursday but managed to pitch six innings despite having no feel for his sinker or slider.
"All I thought was, 'Just hang in there, pitch by pitch, and [you'll] be able to overcome,'" Kuroda said on Thursday through an interpreter. "Considering how it started, I think I was able to put together a decent outing."
Kuroda has had plenty of decent outings in his career against the Astros. He owns a 3-0 record and a 1.61 ERA in 44 2/3 innings over seven starts against them.
While Kuroda is riding a hot streak into Tuesday's game, Humber has found himself in a funk. He posted a 2.89 ERA in his first three starts -- all losses because the Astros didn't provide him with sufficient run support -- before going 0-2 with a 27.00 ERA in his last two starts.
Humber has allowed 18 hits and 15 earned runs in five innings over those two outings, including Thursday's loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park. After that outing, he said he didn't know what was wrong but called it "pathetic" and admitted to "definitely not doing my job right now."
Astros catcher Jason Castro said the team has been trying to get all of its starters to be more aggressive early in counts, which could help Humber as he prepares to make his third career start against the Yankees.
"Throw it at the hitter, making them hit the ball and not giving guys free passes, and really challenging guys and making them earn whatever it is they're going to do on offense," Castro said. "I feel like the starters have come a long way, going out every day and giving it everything they have when they start, no matter how far into the game they go."
While it might not be much consolation given his recent struggles, Humber has had some previous success at Yankee Stadium. In his only career start there -- on April 25, 2011 -- Humber allowed only one hit over seven scoreless innings.
Astros: Peacock headed to bullpen
• Brad Peacock was told on Monday that he's being moved from the starting rotation to Houston's bullpen, a response to the right-hander's rough start to the season. Peacock went 1-3 with an 8.44 ERA in 21 1/3 innings over five starts.
"It more so has to do with us as an organization trying to put him in position where he could have some success," manager Bo Porter said. "We believe that he's still a starting pitcher, and you guys have witnessed it. We've had starters go down in the bullpen and pitch in long relief and they've had great success, and we're hoping the same thing can happen with Brad Peacock."
The Astros will announce a starter for Thursday's game against the Tigers at a later date. Porter wouldn't specify if the start will go to one of the club's long relievers -- Travis Blackley, Paul Clemens or Jose Ciserno -- or a callup from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Yankees: Youkilis placed on DL
• The MRI exam taken on Kevin Youkilis' stiff lower back were negative, but the veteran infielder isn't ready to return just yet. He was scheduled to have an epidural injection on Tuesday, and the Yankees placed him on the disabled list. Youkilis played on Saturday but woke up Sunday feeling more discomfort in his back. Manager Joe Girardi said he didn't have any second thoughts about playing Youkilis on Saturday, even though that decision took away New York's ability to backdate his injury to the series in Toronto during which Youkilis first sat.
"None whatsoever -- the player told us he was ready to go, and we put him in," Girardi said. "How did it happen? I can't tell you how he reinjured it. Could it have just been from normal use or a play? That could happen any time. I have no second thoughts."
The Yankees called up Corban Joseph from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he was batting .273 with four home runs and nine RBIs in 22 games. A fourth-round selection by the Yankees in the 2008 Draft, the 24-year-old Joseph has played mostly second base in the Minors and will be making his Major League debut.
• One bright spot from Monday night's blowout loss: Lefty Vidal Nuno made his Major League debut and pitched three shutout innings, scattering four hits and striking out two.
Worth noting
• The Astros have hit 26 home runs this month, compared to just 14 in April 2012. This year's total was boosted by an eight-game homer streak from April 16-24, the club's longest such streak since June 16-20, 2009.
• The Yankees have gone 9-1 this season in games decided by two or fewer runs, and they're 4-0 in one-run games, standing as the last team in the Majors not to lose a one-run game this year.

The trouble with being earnest is that it makes you an easy target for anyone who doesn't care as much as you do. That generalization is especially true when it comes to rock music. It's a lot easier—and less risky—to strike an angry, cynical, rebellious or cooler-than-thou musical pose than to risk sounding like you care too much. But there are exceptions. Bruce Springsteen jumps to mind. As does U2. And Coldplay's Chris Martin has unapologetically donned this mantle of rock earnestness as well. So it's a small collection, but a powerful one, since bands with such big, beating, sometimes bleeding hearts seem to demand an arena-rock stage as big as the archetypal themes of love and longing and hope and loss they sing about. The Killers, headed by outspoken and devout Mormon Brandon Flowers, is bent on joining the club.
"From Here on Out" confronts us with the importance of forgiveness along life's uncertain paths. "Flesh and Bone" describes something like a spiritual battle in which truth prevails over fear and (maybe) even the devil himself. "I've gone through life white-knuckled," Flowers begins. "I square up and break through the chains/And I hit like a raging bull/Anointed by the blood, I take the reins/ … They'll call me a contender/They'll listen for the bell/With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell." The title track takes a similarly stalwart stance, and "Be Still" almost feels like a prayer of blessing as it urges strugglers and stragglers to press forward ("Rise up like the sun/Labor till the work is done/Be still/One day you'll leave/Fearlessness on your sleeve")."Runaways" digs into the album's core by majoring on a man's commitment to his wife and child, mentioning that he was strong enough to turn an out-of-wedlock pregnancy into a catalyst for their marriage ("We got engaged on a Friday night/I swore on the head of our unborn child that I could take care of the three of us"). Then, when they're tempted at times to flee from each other, the man determines, "I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you run away." We hear something similar on "The Way It Was," where Flowers recalls the blissful early days of romance ("Back when this thing was running on momentum, love and trust"), then longingly asks if the glory of young love can be reclaimed after it's withered ("Darling/Darling/If we go on/Can it be/The way it was/When we met?"). On "Deadlines and Commitments," it seems as if a man's beloved has perhaps moved out. Still, he promises, "There is a place/Here in this house/That you can stay/Catch you, darling/I'll be waiting/I am by your side." "Heart of a Girl" relates a man's innocent wonder at getting to know a young woman. The song ends with a reflection, it would seem, on God's guidance ("Deep in the night, I feel the presence/Of something that was long ago told to me/There is a hand guiding the river/The river to the wide open sea"). That's followed by, again, the idea that love shouldn't be easily sundered ("And deep in my heart, in any game/On any mountain, no I'm not afraid/Standing on stone, you stand beside me/And honor the plans that were made").And there's still more on this subject: At first blush, "Miss Atomic Bomb" appears to be a wistful reminiscence about a guy losing his virginity. But the song then describes the aftermath of "Miss Atomic Bomb" detonating the boy's virtue, a shift which reframes the story as a cautionary tale about the price he paid for a relationship that exploded. "Cast out of the night, well you've got a foolish heart," he says. "So you took your place, but the fall from grace was the hardest part/It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back/You run for cover, but you can't escape the second attack/Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black." He sums it up with, "Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time." "A Matter of Time" more directly affirms the permanence of marriage ("We belong in this forever/Ain't that what it's all about?/Make the promise and keep it/Come hell or high water/We'd figure it out"). And that's even as a wounded man tells his wife how deeply their ongoing conflict is hurting him.
That song uncharacteristically ends up in a less than hopeful place, I'll note. (But even in that, the pain caused by not sticking it out comes through loud and clear.)
Love is hard. Life is good. Life is hard. Love is good. Stick to it.Those intersecting truisms handsomely frame Battle Born, an achingly upbeat, arena-shaking reminder that we don't have to let go of the beauty, glory and innocent promise of youth even when the miles and years and heartaches of life tempt us to do so. "When they knock you down, you're gonna get back on your feet," Flowers admonishes on the title track. "When they break your heart/When they cause your soul to mourn/Remember what I said/Boy, you was battle born." Never mind, then, what "works" in rock 'n' roll. Clearly this is a band that fully appreciates the importance of being earnest.

Screening Guidelines
The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are given to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
At this time, there are no screening guidelines for the general population. A doctor may recommend screening if you are at high risk for STDs such as:
- Multiple sex partners
- HIV infection
- Past history of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
- Men who have sex with men who are at high risk of HIV infection
Sexually active people should consider screening for STDs even if there is not a specific guideline.
Women who are pregnant and near labor, will be asked about history and examined for any sores in your genital area. A test may also be done to find out if the virus is present. This is especially important at the time of labor to avoid spreading the virus to the baby.
