Tomographic shadowgraphy is an image-based optical technique capable of reconstructing the three dimensional instantaneous spray distributions within a given volume. The method is based on a multiple view imaging setup with inline illumination provided by current-pulsed LEDs, which results in droplet shadows being projected onto multiple sensor planes. Each camera records image pairs with short inter-framing times that allow the trajectories of the individual droplets to be estimated using conventional three-dimensional particle tracking approaches. The observed volume is calibrated with a traversed micro-target. A comparison is made between several photogrammetric and polynomial least-square camera calibration techniques regarding their accuracy in deep volume calibration at magnifications close to unity. A calibration method based on volume calibration from multiple planar homographies at equally spaced z-planes was found to produce the most reliable calibration. The combination of back-projected images at each voxel plane efficiently reproduces the droplet positions in three-dimensional space by line-of-sight (LOS) intensity reconstruction. Further improvement of the reconstruction can be achieved by iterative tomographic reconstruction, namely simultaneous multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (SMART). The quality of spray reconstruction is investigated using experimental data from multiple view shadowgraphs of hollow cone and flat fan water sprays. The investigations are further substantiated with simulations using synthetic data.

Old hotel but perfectly adequate room and facilities. Great location with fantastic sea view from the room. Had booked hotel parking (as this is a must in this town!!)but hotel had overbooked their parking-they found us one elsewhere which was a bit of a hassle but at least they found us one!!!Very good staff. Great town and local area but driving around at anytime was a nightmare!!!Hey, but that's Italia!!

The picture of the outdoor view of the hotel is accurate. The breakfast was simple and mostly pre-packaged items. The room was clean but the view was described as classic garden - the garden was some potted plants of the next building's outer area and an outdoor wall hanging of some plants. All-in-all not a distasteful view but hardly a garden. The receptionist was generous in loaning me an adapter to recharge my camera batteries and helpful in showing me how to use it. The morning I left a different person was on the desk - he never really answered my questions about breakfast so I decided on a cup of tea in the lobby area - not the breakfast nook. When I left, I walked to the train station. I had travelled about two blocks when he approached me from a side street and said that I had not paid for breakfast. I stumbled for some words but said I had been asking but was under the impression that there was no charge. He did a quick about-face and left. Strange.

So I was seting up a scenario:
The inner Sanctum and had: 1b 2a 3b 4a as choosing.
The first clue that the investigators are to find is in the Study, right next to the chapel.
But the room has "locked cabin" on it. so you need the key. Except for the clue the magic Phrase is placed under.
The key is in the secret passage just 2 rooms away (but on the other side)
So the explorers will neen to go down through the ladder leading to the Chams so they can go around, get the key and the first clue.
But the chams is locked with MAGIC LOCK with the 2nd clue to find under it....
SO in the event that the investigator goes down in the ladder the room "locks" right... or do you get "outside" the chasm? not able to enter it?
If not the investigator is stuck....
They can't find anything to help them.
Another tecnichal problem is after you find clue one they tell you to place another ladder marker there... what for? to were?

NAMPA-- Just in time for school, 20 students in Nampa got the supplies they need thanks to U.S. Bank.
The students range from kindergarten to 11th grade.
They all live in the New Hope subdivision in Nampa, which is part of a national non-profit called Mercy Housing.
Last week, U.S. Bank employees went on shopping spree to buy the backpacks and supplies, and today was delivery day.
We've had a long relationship with Mercy Housing and New Hope subdivision. We've provided them grants over the years and we at U.S. Bank very much like to be involved in the community and found this to be a great way to help out, said Rob Aravich, Sr. Vice President, U.S. Bank.
Aravich says the company has donated more than $27,000 in grants to Mercy Housing since 2010.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone: Sierra Leone's government has for the first time said ousted Liberian leader Charles Taylor should be tried for war crimes for allegedly backing Sierra Leone rebels in a vicious decade-long insurgency.
"We have heard that while in exile in Nigeria, he is still straining his tentacles into Liberia,'' Sierra Leone's Vice President Solomon Berewa told reporters in the capital, Freetown.
"If he has done that, then he forfeits his rights of protection and (is) liable to be surrendered to the Special Court for protection,'' Berewa said.
The government had until Friday kept silent on the Freetown-based international war crimes tribunal's indictment of Taylor in keeping with its policy of doing nothing that might affect the court's independence.
The U.N.-backed tribunal is charged with trying those most responsible for abuses committed during Sierra Leone's 1991-2002 battle for control of the country's rich diamond fields. Taylor remains the highest-profile suspect indicted by the court, whose officials have repeatedly called on Nigeria to surrender him for trial.
Berewa's comments were likely to increase pressure on Nigeria to hand over Taylor. Nigeria, though, has maintained that giving him asylum in 2003 was the only way to end civil war in Liberia, and that it will harbor him as long as he refrains from interfering in his homeland's politics.
Officials at the war crimes court say they have evidence not only that Taylor has continued playing a role in Liberian politics, but was behind a January attempt to assassinate Guinea President Lansana Conte, a longtime Taylor foe.
On Tuesday, war crime tribunal chief prosecutor David Crane said Taylor received money recently from an al-Qaida operative and is trying to destabilize west Africa.--AP

Trista Lysek lost her cat.
Before you read another word here, I would ask you to remember, above all, that I said cat.
It all goes back to May 27 when Lysek, a perfectly normal, rather sweet, 42-year-old mother of 22-month-old twins, Sari and Brianna, was on a trip to visit her mother in Arizona.
And while she was gone, she left her husband, David, to care for NiNi, her 17-year-old brown tabby cat, and their pair of 3-year-old Snowshoe Siamese cats, Bandit and Smokey.
That night, it was about 10 p.m., Lysek called David, who was out on the patio of their Newport Beach apartment. After he picked up the phone, he continued their conversation while walking into the bedroom, leaving the sliding glass door open.
You know what happened next.
"Oh, they're fine," David told her before abruptly telling Lysek, "I gotta go!"
Bandit and Smokey were standing at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the parking lot. NiNi was gone.
To understand what happened next and for the next six months, it may be helpful to understand how Lysek came to own NiNi.
Again, it was 17 years ago when Lysek came out of a grocery store and saw a crowd of people chasing a little brown cat around the parking lot, attempting to catch her.
Lysek watched for a while before finally tossing on the ground some salmon she had just purchased. The cat made a mad dash for it and her.
"Anybody want it?" she asked the crowd. People turned their heads and shuffled off. "Then why are you tormenting her?" she shouted after them.
Lysek took the cat home. It was not even 2 months old, not even the size of her hand, badly tick infested and barely alive. She nursed it back to health. She named her NiNi.
"I've had her ever since," she told me.
On May 28, Lysek caught the first flight from Arizona to return to Newport Beach and search for her cat. NiNi, she told me, had been suffering from hyperthyroidism, which made her urinate all over the apartment.

Survey Finds More Americans are Washing Hands More Thoroughly
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ — Concerns about last year's H1N1 virus have had an impact on Americans' hand washing habits, according to a national survey conducted by Bradley Corporation of Menomonee Falls, a leading manufacturer of bathroom and locker room furnishings, including sinks, faucets, hand dryers, showers and lockers.
In Bradley's second Healthy Hand Washing Survey, 50 percent of the 1,053 respondents said they "wash their hands more thoroughly or longer or more frequently" in public restrooms as a result of the H1N1 virus – that's up from 45 percent in 2009 when the same question was asked.
"It's certainly a move in the right direction," says medical microbiologist Michael McCann, Ph.D., a professor of biology and associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. "It's always a positive sign when we hear that more people are doing a better job washing their hands because hand washing is one of the easiest things to do to keep well."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is unequivocal about the benefits of hand washing, calling it critical in preventing infection and illness.
"Hand washing is a simple thing to do and it's the best way to prevent infection and illness," the agency says. And by "washing your hands," the CDC notes that nothing beats good old soap and water.
According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, adults average two to four colds a year and children have about six to 10. In fact, the common cold is a leading cause of doctor visits and missed days from school and work.
"Since hand washing is the first defense in fighting off cold and flu germs, it's important to educate the public," says Jon Dommisse, director of marketing and product development at Bradley Corporation. "We hope our Healthy Hand Washing Survey calls attention to this important practice and the benefits of hand washing."
Bradley's Healthy Hand Washing Survey was conducted online July 7-15, 2010, and queried 1,053 American adults about their hand washing habits in public restrooms. Participants were from around the country, ranged in age from 18 to 65 and older and were fairly evenly split between men (46 percent) and women (54 percent).

You've all heard it again and again on the news. The United States is number one in obesity worldwide. Or is it number two, with Mexico now taking the top spot? Would you believe it's none of the above? The United States is number 18. Not a great number but not worth the outrage and panic the left puts forward. This may surprise everyone with the constant hammering by the Left and the Media about America being the fattest country on earth. This is interesting in the face of these facts. This report was released this month, but I have seen this information as far back as three years ago. Yes, they continued to lie to us even with their own WHO and the CIA Factbook both contradicting their narrative and containing the real data for the entire time that they have promoted the lie.
Why would they do this? Actually it's pretty obvious in the face of Universal Healthcare, Moochelle Obama, and the school lunch program "reworking". The left is determined to save your life no matter what you want. It is once again about control. As long as the myth is out there, it gives them reasons to limit what you are allowed to eat. They can place limits on what can be sold, they can place limits on what you buy and eat, they can tell your children they are not allowed to bring lunches from home and must eat their Moochelle mandated Kale and Quinoa salad. They are getting more arrogant about their lies lately, even with the true facts out there in print, they will still throw the lie forward again and again, knowing that the press will follow like obedient lapdogs.
Try finding the true statistics on Obesity online. I've been trying to find the reports that I originally found, and the search engines are flooded with nothing but the lie. I was lucky this story came around recently otherwise I wouldn't have had anything to post. Especially since the WHO reports (yes, there are several going back years) and the CIA Factbook report were behind paywalls. I have no doubts there will be thousands of articles about American Obesity posted in the next few weeks in order to bury this CNN report back to where it won't be seen.
How paradise became the fattest place in the world
By Meera Senthilingam, for CNN
Updated 5:44 AM ET, Fri May 1, 2015
"Vital Signs is a monthly program bringing viewers health stories from around the world"
(CNN)They're remote and beautiful. A place many long to escape to for sun, sea and serenity. But the Pacific islands have another reality for the residents living there — a life based on imported food, little exercise and remote access to healthcare.
The result? The most obese nations in the world.
'A deadly epidemic'
"One third of the world is either overweight or obese right now," says Emmanuela Gakidou, professor of Global Health at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Gakidou's recent paper used data from countries across the world to identify the global burden of obesity and trends seen in different populations. "The Pacific islands have a lot of countries with very high levels of obesity," she adds.
Among the top 10 most obese countries or territories globally, nine are Pacific islands, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), making this paradise the fattest region of the world.
"Up to 95% of the adult population are overweight or obese in some countries," says Temo Waqanivalu, program officer with the WHO's Prevention of Non-communicable Diseases department. As a Fijian Native, Waqanivalu has worked on the issue for over a decade and seen the epidemic evolve first-hand, aided by the cultural acceptance of bigger bodies as beautiful. "In Polynesia the perception of 'big is beautiful' does exist," he says. "[But] big is beautiful, fat is not. That needs to get through."
Percentages for obesity range from 35% to 50% throughout the islands, according to the WHO. The Cook Islands top the ranks with just over 50% of its population classified as obese.
"It's a deadly epidemic," says Waqanivalu.
Measuring up
Obesity is measured through an individual's body mass index (BMI) and a measurement above 30kg/m² is defined as clinically obese.
Pacific islanders tend to have a naturally big build, says Jonathan Shaw, associate director of Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, Australia. "With Pacific islanders, their frame is typically bigger," he explains, "but that still doesn't account for the obesity we see."
Poor diets and reduced exercise have become a major public health concern for the region as they are not only a cause of obesity — associated diseases are also rife, such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes, the latter of which has a known genetic basis among locals.
"This is a population with a genetic predisposition and when exposed to Western lifestyles results in high rates of diabetes," says Shaw. "[This is] undoubtedly caused by high rates of obesity."
The epidemic began through the tropical region turning its back on traditional diets of fresh fish and vegetables and replacing them with highly processed and energy-dense food such as white rice, flour, canned foods, processed meats and soft drinks imported from other countries. One of the root causes of the change is the price tag.
"All over the world, poor quality and highly energy-dense food is the cheapest," says Shaw. As demand for healthier alternatives remain low, their market is small.
This is exemplified by fishermen often selling the fish they catch to in turn purchase canned tuna. "[You] can buy a few meals with what you get selling fish," says Waqanivalu.
The new food environment locals find themselves living in has accelerated the trend towards consuming processed food. "It's significantly cheaper," adds Waqanivalu. "It's cheaper to buy a bottle of coke than a bottle of water."
As with other regions of the world, increased urbanization and sedentary office cultures have further aided the rise in obesity among Pacific islanders.
"A lot of physical activity was in the domain of work," says Waqanivalu, referring to fisherman heading out to sea and others working their land on plantations. "The concept of leisure-time activity is new," he says.
The tropical climate desired by sun seekers is less attractive to those needing to keep fit. "In tropical countries there is a desire to avoid physical work and even walk," says Shaw. "We're all driven to conserve energy."
All in the genes?
Some scientists believe that Pacific island populations have evolved to maintain their larger build — a concept known as the "Thrifty Gene" hypothesis. For this region of the world, the concept is based on the fact Pacific islanders once endured long journeys at sea and those who fared best stored enough energy in the form of fat to survive their journey.
"We have the remnants of those people … and their metabolism as well," says Waqanivalu. The increased risk of obesity among native Pacific islanders is shown on the islands of Fiji, where the population has a more mixed ethnicity. The country stands at the lower end of the region's spectrum with 36.4% of the adult population classed as obese. Just more than half of the Fijian population are native iTaukei, with the remainder mostly of Indian origin, according to the CIA World Factbook. "That explains the lower rates," says Waqanivalu.
The naturally higher BMI of the people in the region has, however, prompted calls to increase the cut-off for the level of BMI denoting obesity in the Pacific region from 30 to 32 kg/m². A lower cut-off has been suggested for Asian populations based on the same premise, as Asian countries — including Korea, Myanmar and Cambodia — make up the majority of the lowest 10 countries globally in terms of obesity..
Childhood consequences
After the global trends in obesity seen in her study, Gakidou's real concern is the rates her team saw in children in the Pacific. "The rate for children is high … about one in five children [are obese]," she says. "This has repercussions in the long term."
Repercussions include diabetes, which is already a burden on health services in the region. "The concern in children would be early onset of diabetes," says Gakidou.
The WHO has made a series of recommendations to improve the situation and is implementing them through policy changes in the countries. "Type II diabetes is emerging in young children 10-11 years old," says Waqanivalu, who has also heard reports of a child as young as seven years old being affected. "[It's the] tip of the iceberg in children."
But Waqanilu is confident his department is making some progress through recommendations such as increased taxation on soft drinks, improving trade in the region, controlled marketing of products targeting children through schools, and policies to promote healthier diets and exercise.
"The whole food environment needs to be changed," he says. This has been the ambition of the Healthy Islands Vision — initiated by the ministers of health for the Pacific island countries in 1995 — which aims to combat obesity and diabetes among its health priorities.
Health systems also need strengthening to better handle the consequences of obesity. "We have definitely made steps but need to make strides for this to be sorted in our time," says Waqanivalu.
Is there an obesity epidemic in the US? Yes, definitely. Does it help to lie about the statistics? No, not unless you have an agenda to promote.

"No man can live his life and emerge unchanged. He will carry, however faint, the imprint of the desert, the brand which marks the nomad; and he will have within him the yearning to return, weak or insistent according to his nature. For this cruel land can cast a spell which no temperate clime can match." –T.E. Lawrence

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Solitary Pulmonary Nodule
Topic Overview
A transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA), which uses a long needle inserted through the chest wall, can sometimes be used to remove a tissue sample from an SPN. This usually is done if the abnormal lung tissue is located close to the chest wall. Imaging procedures such as CT scan, ultrasound, or fluoroscopy typically are used to help guide the needle to the right spot. Another possible test is bronchoscopy with transbronchial biopsy (TBB). In this test, a flexible tube is inserted through the nose and down to the lungs. A camera in the tube shows where the SPN is, and a tiny tool in the same tube takes a small sample of the SPN tissue.
Most cancerous nodules can be identified through biopsy, but positive identification of noncancerous nodules can still be difficult. If a biopsy shows cancer, surgery can often remove the cancer. If your doctor determines that you have a high risk of having a cancerous nodule, he or she may decide not to do this test and instead recommend surgery to remove the nodule. A pathologist looks at the nodule under a microscope to see if it is cancer.
Follow-up testing for a noncancerous SPN includes chest X-rays or CT scans as often as your doctor recommends to look for any change in the size or shape of the nodule.

This is my go to underlayer when it gets cold. With one of these and my OR ski jacket I can be down below 0 and still having a good sweaty time. Too bad they are made in china, but then everything is these days. No stink, no problems. Merino is the best and just about anything from IB is going to work awesome.

text: here, here to that! Somehow just having a lense (attached to a camera) While out and about seems to add an additional sense. A third eye if you will but more than that it seems to heighten the other senses. On top of that if your out on a day with clouds and a bit of wind the light changes constantly which is a feast. You can litterly feel the value changes. At that point I think vision becomes a sense in itself because of the awareness stimulated by knowing at some point nature is going to give you that value range your looking for to achieve that image your watching. Those are my favorite days. We do get them a lot around here during certain times of the year. The rest of the time we end up digging through the shadows looking for grey light oppertunities.

BUIES CREEK — Matt Johnson and the Charlotte 49ers football team kicked off their second-ever campaign with a 33-9 victory on the road Thursday night against Campbell.
Johnson completed 14-of-30 passes for 189 yards in the contest for the Niners (1-0).
Ahead 6-3 at halftime, 49ers running back Kalif Phillips scored three touchdowns in the third quarter, including a 10-yard run and a pair of 1-yard runs, to put UNC Charlotte ahead for good.
UNC Charlotte kicker Blake Brewer also set the school record with a 50-yard field goal in the first quarter of the contest. Brewer set the previous record with a 43-yarder last fall.
