It's okay
This review is from: Lanzar - 7'' Double Din TFT Touch Screen DVD/VCD/CD/MP3/MP4/CD-R/USB/SD-MMC Card Slot /AM/FM
Pros: So far so good...I haven't had any issues out of the deck/dvd/mobile media center. It's done everything asked of it. Sound output is above average....not the best but good. I especially like the sd card slot/the 2 usb inputs/ and the aux input makes it very easy to expand and use multiple devices
Cons: No serious cons so far...the screensaver could use some work,and the radio table could look a bit better....but like I said no big issues just personal preference. I could go on and on listing little small things that I think it should have like dedicated tone buttons on the remote, freq. settings and so forth...but if that's what I wanted should've bought a high end player....It's a budget Dvd player and is worth the amount paid for it

text: Shutterstock Occultist father of rocketry 'written out' of Nasa's history Science 23 April 14 by Olivia Solon Jack Parsons was a founding member of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Lab, with some crediting him as being one of the "fathers of rocketry" and others joking that JPL was actually Jack Parsons' Laboratory, but you won't find much about him on Nasa's websites. Parsons' legacy as an engineer and chemist has been somewhat overshadowed by his interest in the occult and, and has led to what some critics describe as a rewriting of the history books."He's lived in the footnotes since his death. He's a forgotten figure," says biographer George Pendle, author of Strange Angel: The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parson (Jack's full name).Pendle did an "archeological dig" into Parsons' life after finding a mention of him in a science book. "The more I dug, the more bizarre and extreme the story seemed." GALCIT Group members in the Arroyo Seco, November 1936. L-R: Rudolph Schott, Amo Smith, Frank Malina, Ed Forman, and Jack ParsonsNASA/JPL In short: Parsons played a critical role in the formation of rocket science and was instrumental in building the rockets that were eventually used in the Space Race. However, he also believed in magic, was involved in the early stages of Scientology and had an extremely colourful sex life. For that reason, Pendle speculates, Parsons' was a figure who didn't fit into the mould of the Industrial Complex. "Wernher von Braun -- a former Nazi -- was much a much easier fit than Parsons," says Pendle. "A lot of people would be shocked to find out that the space programme was founded by a man who held orgies in his Pasadena mansion."Early chemistry experimentsParsons' interest in chemistry stemmed from his teenage years when, inspired by space travel found in science fiction literature, he started amateur rocket experiments with a school friend called Edward Forman. He later studied chemistry and high school and took a holiday job at the Hercules Powder Company, where he got to handle a wide range of explosives.After school, Parsons was keen to access the rocketry facilities at Caltech but his academic ambitions had been plagued by financial difficulties. He and Forman ended up teaming with a PhD student called Frank Malina to apply for funding from the university to explore rocketry. They didn't reveal their ambition to develop rockets for space exploration as this was, at the time considered to be a science fiction. At the university's Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory, the trio collaborated on developing rockets in a creative and liberal environment as members of the GALCIT Rocket Research Group.The group -- which increased in numbers over the next few years -- set about developing a static rocket-motor before moving onto working rockets. The team became known as the "Suicide Squad" on campus because of how dangerous their experiments were, but eventually had success in building a static rocket that could burn for more than a minute.EsotericismIn the late 1930s, Parsons started to develop an interest in esotericism, attending something called The Gnostic Mass at the Church of Thelema. Parsons came to believe in magic, a force that he felt could be explained through quantum physics, as espoused by Thelema's founder Aleister Crowley. As Parsons' interest in the occult developed, his colleague Malina approached the National Academy of Sciences for funding into "jet propulsion" as a means for developing more nimble aircraft. The team was granted $1,000 (£595 at today's exchange) -- the first government-funded rocketry research group in history. A quarter of the funding had to go towards repairing damage to Caltech buildings caused by the group's experiments and the group was eventually forced to relocate to some iron sheds in the Arroyo Seco canyon, where they were closely watched by the FBI which was keen to make sure that no political extremists were accessing the explosives. It was here that the Jet Propulsion Laboratory would be founded.One of the group's key innovations was developing Jet-Assisted Take Off (JATO) engines for the US Air Corps, with Parsons developing a restricted burning solid rocket fuel that was stable enough to be stored indefinitely. The engine technology and fuel were commercialised through a company called Aerojet, where Parsons became project engineer. Versions of this fuel was eventually used by Nasa in the Space Shuttle as well as in military ballistic missiles.Hedonistic Pasadena lodgeAt the same time -- 1941 -- Parsons started to have a sexual relationship with his wife's Helen's 17-year-old sister Sara -- something that was encouraged by his church. His wife started a relationship with one of the church's most senior members, Talbot Smith. The four of them, along with other Thelemites ended up moving into a large house together in Pasadena. Drugs flowed freely, as did sexual partners. The lodge attracted negative attention, with the police and FBI receiving allegations that it played host to a cult involved in sexual orgies and black magic -- although upon investigation, it was deemed not to represent a threat to national security.The US government heard that Nazi Germany was developing the V-2 rocket and so gave the GALCIT rocket research group -- now without Parsons -- a grant to develop rocket-based weapons and the group was renamed the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. At around that time Parsons was expelled from Aerojet by new majority shareholders who disapproved of his "unorthodox and unsafe working methods". Parsons and Forman moved onto found the Ad Astra Engineering Company. Don't miss Mark Rober left Nasa to make awesome wearable tech Halloween costumes In 1945, science fiction writer -- and later the founder of Scientology -- L Ron Hubbard moved into the Pasadena lodge. Sara took an interest in Hubbard, which made Parsons jealous. He developed a deeper interest in witchcraft and the darker side of magic, becoming fascinated by poltergeists and ghostly apparitions. In a bid to find conjure up a new lover, he took part in extraordinary rituals where he would masturbate onto magical tablets to the sound of music."After his girlfriend ran off with Hubbard, he decided to create his own girlfriend and summon an elemental," explains Pendle.Poetry for his 'elemental'After one such ritual in 1946, Parsons decided that he had managed to conjure up his perfect woman. So when he came into contact with Marjorie Cameron, he was convinced she was the one. "He felt as though his elemental had arrived," says Pendle. Cameron had no idea that she had been "invoked" in this way. She became his muse and was the subjet of a book of poetry Parsons wrote at the time."When you think about scientists, you don't think of them as necessariy being fun or having a creative side. But Parsons saw himself of being at the end of the line of a group of scientists stretching back to Newton, who saw himself as a natural philosopher," explains Pendle. "Newton wrote about alchemy. Poetry used to be part of what the scientist was. He was a renaissance man with a whole swathe of interest."When Parsons worked on his rocketry experiments in the desert he would recite a pagan poem to Pan. Pendle doesn't see this as particularly strange, saying, "They were all young guys, it would have been like going into a huddle and shouting the name of your team."Parsons' financial fortune fell apart after he invested his life savings in co-founding a company with Hubbard and Sara -- his ex-girlfriend and her current primary partner. Hubbard convinced Parsons he was going to buy yachts and resell them at a profit, but this never happened. Parsons lost the vast majority of his money in the scam, the company fell apart and eventually Hubbard and Sara went on to found Scientology together.Shunned in the Cold WarParsons remained a specialist in rocketry and was often called as an expert witness in police investigations involving explosives. "He was good with things that went boom -- so au fait with rockets and explosives," says Pendle. Jack ParsonsParsons was called as an expert witness in bomb casesLos Angeles Times As the Cold War set in, any academics suspected of being communist sympathisers were frozen out. Parsons and many of his colleagues lost their security clearance, leaving him unemployed. He found himself earning money as a manual labourer, a hospital orderly and a car mechanic. Having been pushed out of science, Parsons became even more deeply entrenched in the occult.He ended up applying his skills to create pyrotechnics and explosives for the film industry. Just before a planned trip to Mexico in 1952, Parsons -- who was 37 -- received a large order of explosives for a movie. While preparing the order, there was an explosion involving mercury in which Parsons suffered fatal wounds -- some of his friends suspected a state-sponsored consipiracy although it was ruled an accident. Fulgur Press To mark the centenary of Jack Parson's birth in 1914, Fulgur Press is publishing a collection of Parsons' poems -- Songs for the Witch Woman -- which he wrote about Marjorie Cameron. It provides an intimate glimpse into the final years of their relationship which was cut short by his untimely death. Cameron provides the illustrations. "In the poems, he's writing to what he saw as a magical creature," explains Pendle."Parsons uses imagery that is pretty far out," says Pendle, mentioning a "vision of a girl and goat dancing together in a satanic ritual", where the girl is more fearsome than the goat she's dancing with. "This is how he saw his relationship with Cameron. She was a girl he'd summoned but he was also terrified of her."Many of the poems are "about a hidden world beyond the view of normal mortals", Pendle says. "Parsons had his rocketry as well as his normal life. He discovered other worlds by imagining going in a rocket to the Moon. He wanted to explore this new frontier. He saw both space and magic as ways of exploring these new frontiers -- one breaking free from Earth literally and metaphysically."In the end it was Parsons poetry and other interests that ended his career in rocketry. "The government doesn't really want any people with quirkiness," says Pendle. "With all of the rumours about the Pasadena lodge, the magic and chanting poems at rockets, he couldn't fit into a government job."In Pendle's view, Parsons is the founding father of rocketry and should be recognised as such. This sentiment is echoed by a number of his colleagues, including Wernher von Braun and Malina, who felt as though his contributions to American space technology had been neglected. "If you are looking for a conspiracy it's not his death, it's why he's been wiped from history. There is much more room for mavericks now than there was in the 1940s and 50s." Don't miss Skylon: Alan Bond's mission to replace space rockets with spaceplanes "He's not really mentioned in a tour of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, there's no mention of him as a founder," continues Pendle. "He may be referenced briefly in the footnotes, but it's the occult side of his life that keeps his light burning, not the science."Wired.co.uk contacted JPL and we asked whether Parsons had been written out of the history books. Historian Erik Conway said: "Jack Parsons is included in history books and other venues, and in fact, his role is discussed in the JPL-involved standard history, JPL and the American Space Program by Clayton R. Koppes. Parsons was one of the original founders of JPL. He was the team's chemist and developed the first castable solid propellant used to power aircraft."You can find out more about Songs for the Witch Woman here. Latest on wired.co.uk

6TH HELL by Number-toiWatch
©2012-2016 Number-toi
As others have said, the abandoned hospital backdrop adds a nice dimension to this piece. Aside from the corruption of a place of healing, it makes one wonder if this is even real in the girl's head, or if she's metaphorically running away from something.
Despite that, I just have to say...
"Give Uncle Scrotar A Hug!"
Despite that, I just have to say...
"Give Uncle Scrotar A Hug!"
Poor thing, its dinner is running, poor thing.
And then a Giantdad came out of nowhere and pwned the monster.

The monster reminds me a lot of the radish spirit from Spirited Away.
great concept
and her expression is perfect
but i feel like her running gesture should be a little more dynamic. i'm not entirely convinced that she's running as fast as she can u kno?

That just makes me want to stare and shudder. A terrific combination and talent to produce it!
is at manga? what name?
do so at manga(anime and streaming)?
This drawing is awesome @_@
The thing behind her almost looks sad that she's running away...
though arts involve themes like death or horror aren't my cup of tea, this still a good work of art.
Well done!!
Well done!!
Is this from a show or your work?

Even now the West is engaged in a great conflict the extent of which we scarcely recognize. We find ourselves led by a commander-in-chief -- the title used to be Leader of the Free World -- who at best sounds an uncertain trumpet. (1 Corinthians 14:8) Even the most astute observers cannot be sure what aims he is pursuing, if any. His words waver, his policies are more like moods. But what else could they be? For, unformed and uninformed by literature, language languishes. And language is the very currency of thought. When it is devalued, thought itself is diminished.
Today the biblical allusions that were once every American's rightful inheritance may elicit only puzzled looks, or, worse, pass completely unnoticed in the detritus of our deconstructed, disconnected dialogue. One school of linguists assures us that language is just a mask for privilege and status, anyway, rather than something of intrinsic and inexhaustible value. The Bible may now be reserved for ceremonial occasions only.
Even in church schools where the Bible may be drilled into students, it may be reduced to only a series of Do's and Don'ts, a set of rigid rules rather than a never failing garden of inspiration and instruction, song and story. But as many a court has ruled, there is no constitutional bar to teaching the Bible as literature -- with all literature's scope and power. What a pity to deny it to students; it leaves our young unarmed in mind, in spirit, in soul.
At this year's session of the Arkansas legislature, a bill was introduced that would lay the groundwork for a course in the Bible in the state's public schools, where it should have been taught all along as an integral part of our literature, history and thought. Instead, it has been banned as effectively as Darwin's "Origin of Species." Both have been marked Controversial (as if all great ideas aren't) and so may be relegated to the closed stacks. Much like books listed on the Index in medieval times. They are not to be discussed lest they corrupt the young. Wasn't that the charge against Socrates, too?
The passage of such legislation is to be applauded, not feared. Other, states, sensing the vacuum in their students' education, have introduced courses in the Bible, carefully drafted to avoid mere indoctrination. And such courses have withstood the inevitable challenges in court. For there is nothing in our litigious society, no matter how needed or elevated, that will not be challenged in court -- or at least by the American Civil Liberties Union.
The object of this bill is to let school districts in Arkansas teach the Bible unafraid, and, in the language of HB 1032, without "religious doctrine or sectarian interpretation." The courses would be designed not to "disparage or encourage commitment to a set of religious beliefs," but to acquaint students with the very basis of so much of Western civilization itself.
Who could object to the study of the Bible for its own sake in order to fill so obvious a gap in the education of the next generation?
Answer: The ACLU, of course, along with all those who confuse the Constitution's neutrality toward religion with a mandate for ignorance.
The executive director of this state's chapter of the ACLU acknowledged that the bill was drawn: "On its face, it's not unconstitutional. If they followed it word for word, line by line ... and taught the Bible academically, it would be fine. But...." And with the ACLU there is always a but. "But," the ACLU's director went on, "in a pubic-school setting, I think it would be very difficult to teach it properly, and very tempting to teach it with religion."
Yes, careless and/or opinionated teachers we will always have with us, along with the best kind. But if a history teacher gives his students ideology instead, or an algebra teacher gets an equation wrong, we don't cease teaching history or math. Any more than we should deny our children the Bible with its majesty, wisdom, poetry, humor (have you read the Book of Jonah lately?) or just verbal delights. Any more than we should ban any mention of Evolution in biology classes.
Let the Bible ring out in our schools, inseparable from Western civilization. Let its words, as it says on the Liberty Bell, "proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." (Leviticus 25:10.)

Moreso with Lovie Smith , Texan and defensive guy, possibly going home to coach the Texans.
They passed on Reggie Bush for Mario Williams, and Lovie will see what the pairing of Watt and Clowney can do for winning games in that division.
That means the best QB drops to the Rams spot, and teams looking to jump over jacksonville for Bridgewater or Manziel.
I think Jeff Fisher won't deal down too far to get Jake Matthews who should and I feel will be their pick. Just fits in every way, and would give the Rams great OT for the next decade.
Look at the list of great Rams teams, and the high draft picks they made sure to spend on O-linemen Carollo, Mack, Harrah & France (Both in one draft rd1) Slater, Hill, Pankey, Pace.
Theybrought in others like Timmerman and Bob Brown when necessary .
People will be talking about Houston taking Manziel, but I bet they go Clowney.
And Jake Matthews will be a Rams at some point.
And fans will be very glad he is for a long time.

I LOVE this product. It is a talc free dusting powder that has a sweet, fresh scent.
I use it in the summer after my shower to keep dry and cool. I especially like that it is "pink" due to the kaolin(french pink clay) that is in it.
This is the best corn starch based dusting powder I've found yet and I've tried a lot of them. Until I get A/C in my apartment I will remain a user of this product.

this powder leaves my skin silky and softly scented. i have repurchased this several times and layer it with other baby bee products for a stronger scent. i also have a plastic powder drum with a sifter that i transfer this into as the original drum tends to be a little messy.

i absolutely hated this powder.
i really enjoy the scent of the baby bee line. its a subtle and comforting mix of creamy apricot and milk.
the texture of this powder was unbearably unpleasant. imo, it has the consistency of the cardboard powder inside a mailing envelope. i had a hard time getting it to sink into my skin. it was almost like groung oatmeal sitting on top of my skin.
i RIS, so im not sure what the packaging was originally like, so i dont want to gripe about it if im wrong. there was no partition to prevent the puff from sitting directly on the powder. the puff was of poor quality, and id rather they not include one than to provide one that is so chintzy

This is sooo nice. I love powders and this doesn't disappoint. I bought the lotion and solid perfume as well. IMO, each product smells slightly different. The powder smells like a mix of milk, honey,and apricot. Very fresh and comforting scent. Great for bedtime or relaxing. My husband loves the scent. I suggest getting the drum. Less mess. If it's too expensive, try this-buy the cheap talc with drum and puff at Walgreens. It's about $2.00. Dump the talc, wash and dry. Replace with talc powder you like. There you have it! I've done this with many of my powders. Works great!

Mmm... I love this powder. Was never a powder person before, but I decided to try it. It has a like sweet smell, similar to the Baby Bee Solid Scent that I love so much, but a little bit lighter and, well, more powdery. It is just divine. Leaves my body feeling silky, and has good absorbing power.

I like the Baby Bee dusting powder alot. However, I do wish the fabulous Baby Bee scent was abit stronger for it, but, really that is the only thing I'd change. A great product overall.

A must for the summer. I'm not a powder person generally, but for whatever reason, I love this. It makes you feel so nice and cool in the warm months, and it smells divine. Still, the fragrance is subtle enough that I don't worry about how it's going to affect my perfume. It's also great for taking the shine off your arms/chest after you apply your sunscreen. I've bought the drum and the shaker, and the powder is SO much easier to apply from the drum.

I love the nice smell and the fact that it doesn't have talc. I use it after i get out of the shower and combine it with the baby bee oil. the powder leaves me fresh and fresh smelling

Help had cerclage place at 13 weeks now at my 16 week US scan the cervix has shortened from 3.6 to 2.8 is there anyone who has
Comments (7)
No direct experiece here, but my SIL has been on bedrest since week 12 after cerclage, and is now in her 3rd trimester-- she is due 3/25/12. (Same issue, incompetent cervix.) Do what the docs say, drink plenty of water, and don't cheat on the bedrest. Every situation is different, but just wanted to offer you hope-- she and baby are doing great! She is bored to tears but grateful everything's okay.
I also have no experience but wish you luck and pray you get your prince!

You want a burger, and there's no problem with that…except maybe you've had a few too many lately. We know, we know, you'll tell us when you've had enough. But just for kicks, we created a lighter, healthier burger feast for dinner tonight. Swap beef for lean poultry — not too lean; we're all about flavor here — pull fries out of the oven instead of the fryer and fill in the gaps with veggies, and lots of 'em. Sweet tooth? We found a better place for avocado than topping your burger.

Last Night Was The Oscars, Here Are The Boobs That Showed Up
Last night was The 85th Annual Academy Awards and I'm completely ashamed to say I watched the entire thing. To sum it up, Seth MacFarlane did surprisingly not shitty, Jennifer Lawrence fell down, the Best Director winner was bullshit, Ben Affleck got snubbed, then didn't and George Clooney kept getting free scotch thrown at him for smiling every time someone joked he banged and/or will bang somebody like nine-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis (Actual Seth MacFarlane joke.) who already had to deal with Daniel Day Lewis demanding she thank him backstage. This shouldn't fuck a kid up.
(Images of celebs who showed up to last night's Oscars with varying degrees of cleavage or dumb-looking faces = Getty)
Jessica Chastain picked a good time to wear this dress
Jessica Chastain went from almost total obscurity two years ago to somehow starring in 13 movies since. She had 7 last year, including Brad Pitts wife in 'Tree of Life' and an Academy Award Best Supporting Actress nomination for 'The Help', then 6 more this year, highlighted by Kathryn Bigelows movie about SEAL Team 6 as they hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden (Bigelows first movie since winning the Academy Award for Best Director for 'The Hurt Locker').
It's a powerful reminder to all the young actresses out there that dreams really can come true in Hollywood, especially if those dreams involve me turning up the brightness on her pictures to maybe see her tits.

Article: Richie, E. et al. Efficacy trial of single-dose live oral cholera vaccine CVD 103-HgR in North Jakarta, Indonesia, a cholera-endemic area. Vaccine 18, 2399−2410[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy trial of one dose of CVD 103-HgR live oral cholera vaccine was performed in Indonesia from 1993 to 1997. 67,508 persons aged 2-41 years ingested vaccine or placebo and were followed for four years, detecting cholera cases using hospital-based surveillance. A nested reactogenicity study (538 vaccinees, 535 controls) revealed no vaccine-attributable side effects. A nested immunogenicity study (N=657) showed vibriocidal seroresponses in 64-70% of vaccinees vs 1-2% of controls. Cholera incidence was lower than expected. 103 cases of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor diarrhea were detected, 93 evaluable for vaccine efficacy (43 vaccine, 50 placebo; efficacy=14%). A suggestion of protection was observed among persons with blood group O [P=0.12]. Only seven cases occurred within six months of vaccination, precluding assessment of short-term efficacy. In Jakarta, single-dose CVD 103-HgR did not confer long-term protection. Short-term protection from a single-dose and long-term protection from two doses have yet to be studied.
Article: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli diarrhea in children less than five years of age in central Java[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A community-based prospective study was performed from December 1993 through March 31, 1994 in Indonesia in children less than five years of age. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) was identified in diarrheic stool by colony hybridization assay, using toxin probes, and this bacterium was isolated from 19% of 340 episodes of diarrhea. Sixty-one percent of ETEC produced heat-labile toxin (LT) only, 325 LT and heat-stable toxin (ST), and 75 ST only. The age-specific incidence rates of diarrhea among children 0-1 and 2-3 years of age were 77% and 61%, respectively, during the study period; ETEC was isolated from 26% of children 0-1 years of age versus 53% for children 2-3 years of age. As many as seven episodes of diarrhea were repeatedly experienced by a single child during the four-month study period; however, only two children had more than one episode of known ETEC-associated diarrheal disease during the period of observation.

ABSTRACT: In 1992, a serologically novel clone of Vibrio cholerae, designated O139, caused large epidemics of diarrhea in India and Bangladesh. To determine the extent of the spread of V. cholerae O139 worldwide, 484 V. cholerae non-O1 strains isolated from different patients with diarrhea in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Peru in 1993 were tested for agglutination in O139 antisera. One hundred fifty-one of these 484 isolates were examined for genes encoding cholera toxin, zonula occlulans toxin, the repetitive sequence 1, and the toxin coregulated pilin A (the V. cholerae virulence gene complex). Thirty-three percent (122 of 364) of V. cholerae non-O1 strains isolated from different patients with diarrhea in Thailand agglutinated in O139 antisera. Ninety-eight percent (120 of 122) of V. cholerae O139 contained the V. cholerae virulence gene complex. None of the 104 V. cholerae non-O1 strains isolated from patients with diarrhea in Indonesia or the 14 strains from patients with diarrhea in the Philippines were serotype O139. Four different ribotypes were found in V. cholerae O139 isolated in Asia. Twenty-three (47%) of 49 Thai O139 strains examined were of different ribotypes than isolates from India and Bangladesh; V. cholerae strains that were not O1 or O139 that were isolated from flies and water in Thailand 11 years previously in 1981 contained the same V. cholerae virulence gene complex found in V. cholerae O1 and O139. This suggests that other unidentified virulence determinants are involved in V. cholerae O139 pathogenesis.
Article: Safety, Immunogenicity, and Transmissibility of Single-Dose Live Oral Cholera Vaccine Strain CVD l03-HgR in 24- to 59-Month-Old Indonesian Children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recombinant A-B+ Vibrio cholerae O1 strain CVD 103-HgR is a safe, highly immunogenic, single-dose live oral vaccine in adults in industrialized countries, Safety, excretion, immunogenicity, vaccine transmissibility, and environmental introduction ofCVD 103-HgR were investigated among 24- to 59-month-old children in Jakarta. In 81 households, 1 child was randomly allocated a single dose of vaccine (5 x 109 cfu) and another, placebo. Additionally, 139 unpaired children were randomly allocated vaccine or placebo. During 9 days of follow-up, diarrhea or vomiting did not occur more often among vaccinees than controls. Vaccine was minimally excreted and was isolated from no controls and from 1 (0.6%) of 177 unvaccinated family contacts. A 4-fold or higher rise in serum vibriocidal antibody was observed in 75% of vaccinees (10-fold rise in geometric mean titer over baseline). Of 135 paired placebo recipients or household contacts, 5 had vibriocidal seroconversions. Moore swabs placed in sewers and latrines near 97 households failed to detect vaccine. These observations pave the way for a large-scale field trial of efficacy.

It is said that in six generations, most people can trace a blood connection to someone else.
In 18, it becomes a mathematical certainty to anyone, anywhere.
I have no opinion about jewish women, but visiting europe I was shocked and amused at how many cultural stereotypes rang true, even in a short time.
The exception was france, which is misunderstood, I think.

Your top 5 pet health Facebook questions
The Pets Best Insurance Facebook page is always open to your pet health comments and questions! Here are some recent questions from our Facebook friends regarding their pets:
Delores asks: What age can you have a puppy's dew claws removed*?
A: While some pet owners will opt to have their puppy's dewclaws removed, many others will not. This procedure, which is considered "cosmetic" by Pets Best Insurance, and is therefore not covered, is something that should be discussed with your veterinarian. Puppies can have their dewclaws removed between 3 and 5 days of age. When younger than this, the pups tend to be a bit fragile, and when older than this, the blood supply to that declaw is increased, and stopping blood flow can be more difficult.
If you missed the tiny 2 day window for appropriate dewclaw removal, some veterinarians will remove the dewclaws when the pet is older and is spayed or neutered. This is a full anesthetic procedure and the pet will likely have stitches and bandages. But dewclaws aren't always a bad thing. In fact, some breeds, like Great Pyrenees, are bred for their multiple dewclaws! The most important thing is to keep them trimmed because they often don't wear down normally and can curl.

MBA Math is a self-paced, online quantitative skills course with 22 lessons covering basic quantitative skills in finance, accounting, economics, statistics, and spreadsheets. This could be useful for new students just beginning the Professional MBA program or for continuing students who want a refresher. The goal of MBA Math is to be ready to begin the core MBA courses, not to learn the advanced concepts you will learn in your MBA course work. With greater confidence of a firmer quantitative foundation, students who take MBA Math should be in a better position to take on the formidable challenges of the MBA quantitative core courses.
Students work at their own pace through an exercise-driven, active problem-solving approach, according to their particular needs, making use of the teaching materials as needed. The MBA Math topics each have their own pre-quizzes, teaching materials, exercises, and post-quizzes. This program is used by students attending more than 100 MBA programs; the full course generally takes 20 to 40 hours to complete.
Associate Professor Jeff Ohlmann has created some online Excel tutorials designed to familiarize students with the Excel functions they will be using in the quantitative MBA courses. If you want to get an Excel refresher, you are encouraged to use this free resource.

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the formation of the Strategic Interagency Task Force on Lessening Obstacles to Agriculture (SILO) to address barriers to the growth of New York's agricultural economy. Task force members, comprised of leadership from State government, as well as representatives from the field of agriculture, will work together to ensure that State agencies that deal with farmers are communicating regularly, interacting efficiently, and lessening regulations on farms.
"This new task force is designed to improve how State agencies interact with farmers, producers, and each other to best expand the agriculture industry in New York," said Governor Cuomo. "Agriculture is vital to the State's economy and by using constructive methods to identify and decrease barriers and leverage industry strengths, we can work proactively to promote growth, create jobs and support new economic opportunities statewide."
The Summit approach implemented by Governor Cuomo has already paid dividends for New York agriculture. Since the inaugural Yogurt Summit, where state government listened to the needs of industry and acted accordingly, New York has become the yogurt capital of the nation and reclaimed its status as the number 3 producer of milk nationwide. New York has also experienced a 72 percent increase in farm-based beverage licenses since 2011, in part as a result of reforms enacted at the first Wine, Beer and Spirits Summit.
Additionally, New York is traditionally the second highest producer of apples in the nation and by many accounts, 2013 was the best year for the state's apple industry in a generation. New York also ranks first in cabbage production, second in maple production, and third in wine and grape juice production.
Industry members of the Task Force are as follows:
State agencies taking part in the Task Force are as follows:

How is a charter school (MSSPA) different from a traditional district school?
It's not that different. Both require the same or similar credits for graduation. Both are tuition-free and open to all students.
The differences lie in size of the school, curricular focus, and board governance.
Our enrollment may not exceed at 325 students, so our community is intimate. Our staff knows our students well, encouraging positive relationships and outcomes for all learners.
MSSPA's focus of electives are in the performing arts. All students are expected to grow as artists, completing coursework in music, theatre, dance, and/or musical theatre.
MSSPA has an independent school board, made up of community members and teachers. Unique to MSSPA, half of the school board is a teacher, empowering those with a vested interest.
What is a typical class size?
The average class size is 22 students per class. Classes like show choir and choir are large on purpose to encourage collaborative learning, while many classes are small to promote strong relationships between teachers and students.
What are arts classes like at MSSPA?
Our arts curriculum focuses on Theory and Creation. Courses of study are designed to specifically enhance the students' ability to create his/her own work, placing an emphasis on the history and application of core elements of each discipline. Students are required to fill at least one block per day with an arts course such as improvisation, acting, theatre movement, ballet, modern dance, jazz dance, ballet technique, music theory, music history, or music ensembles. Class environments support and encourage each student's artistic growth and discovery.
Are world languages offered at MSSPA?
Yes, we offer classes in Spanish, levels 1 through 4.
Will students be able to meet state graduation requirements if they attend MSSPA?
Yes. Main Street School of Performing Arts standards ensure students exceed the state graduation requirements. Students graduate from MSSPA must earn 56 credits.
How diverse is the MSSPA student population?
One of our school's core values is acknowledging and advancing diverse perspectives. To this end, we cultivate an inclusive environment that supports the academic and artistic needs of a diverse student population. Our student body is approximately 18% racially and ethnically diverse, with approximately 34% male students and 66% female students.
Does MSSPA charge tuition?
No. The Main Street School of Performing Arts is a free, public, charter school open to any student artist residing in Minnesota who is serious about their craft and wishes to attend our school.
Because of charter school law, we operate on a limited budget. We cannot pursue referendums or levies the way that many school districts do. Our programs require additional financial support, so fundraising activities are a critical part of our school revenue. In addition, certain non-required programs may be fee-based.
When can a student enroll at MSSPA?
If a student artist is interested in attending the current school year, they should fill out the online enrollment form and submit it as soon as they can. We accept students for the current school year during the first two weeks of each quarter. Students can submit enrollment materials for the next school year after the first week of October. We will accept enrollment materials through the year, however, if we reach enrollment capacity, a lottery will be held. We encourage students to get all enrollment materials in by the end of March for the coming school year. Enrollment information is available by clicking here.
Are students required to audition to get into the school?
No. The Main Street School of Performing Arts does not have an audition process. We are a tuition-free, public, charter school open to any Minnesota high school student artist serious about their craft and expressing their artistic talents, while participating in a rigorous academic program.
We do, however, expect students to perform at a placement and registration workshop to place them in arts classes that will challenge them to grow in their artistry.
Does MSSPA provide Special Education services?
Yes. We employ a special education staff to manage IEPs and help students succeed. If you have specific Special Education questions, please contact the main office at 952-224-1340 and you'll be put in touch with more information regarding these services.
What type of technology does MSSPA have?
MSSPA is committed to offering the latest technology to our students including a Mac lab, and several mobile laptop labs for student use. Many courses are supplemented with Google Classroom.
Does MSSPA have sports?
Competitive athletics are not available directly through the Main Street School of Performing Arts. Students may, however, check with their home district regarding participation in competitive athletics. As a member of the Minnesota State High School League, MSSPA has cooperating agreements with several high schools to provide our students the opportunity to participate on their home district sports teams.
Many students and staff take part in intramural Ultimate Frisbee in the fall and spring as an extracurricular activity.
What sorts of extra-curricular activities does MSSPA offer?
Main Street School offers an optional enrichment block called Block 5 for students. Extra curricular activities and arts enrichment activities are available during this time. Block 5 opportunities change throughout the year and are based on student participation and interests. MSSPA also has the popular "No Shame" program, a monthly school-sponsored variety show, giving students an opportunity to showcase their own work in a public setting.
What is MSSPA's food service program?
MSSPA contracts through Royal Cuisine, the Hopkins School District's nutrition program, for food service. Breakfast is served daily, as are hot lunch, sandwich and salad options. The program is nationally recognized for its nutrition, featuring many locally grown ingredients prepared fresh daily.
Does an MSSPA student need to open enroll in the Hopkins School District?
No. Students enrolling in MSSPA will do so directly with our school. MSSPA is a charter school, an independent school unto itself. Students from any Minnesota school district may enroll directly at MSSPA.
Do Hopkins students get preference for enrollment?
No, there is no geographical preference. The Main Street School of Performing Arts seeks to provide all interested high school student artists from across the Twin Cities and Minnesota the opportunity to attend our school. Students who submit timely enrollment materials shall be enrolled unless the number of interested student artists exceeds the capacity of a program, grade level, building, or class. Enrollment is then determined via lottery.

In a learning organization, how do you go about
measuring organizational learning
Or is the learning organization just a myth or a brand?
I would like to get feedback from you all. Thanks!
Learning Organisation Just a Myth?
David McAra, Learning Consultant, United Kingdom
There are organisations that demonstrate some of the characteristics, but they are few. In most organisations I know, the management team lacks the necessary listening skills and its members have too much faith in their own perception of what's happening and what's required...
It is a wonderful concept though, thrilling to be a part of, if only briefly.
Measuring Organizational Learning - not a Myth
Jeff Wilkinson, Entrepreneur, United States
There is a method derived by Janet Gould-Wilkinson who is at MIT - Sloan School Cambridge, Massachusetts USA, called a "
Learning Inventory
". She is a pioneer in the field and has worked with Fortune 100 companies doing this kind of measurement.
Learning Inventory Method
Jaap de Jonge (Editor), Business Consultant, Netherlands

Measuring Learning in a Learning Organization
Marion Hofer, MA, Analyst, Austria
To act as a learning organization is essential for each company today because it helps the company to act vivid. You know that your company acts like that if you find
job enrichment
in your daily work, more responsibility, more fun -
you can measure it in your motivation to work for a company
Measuring the Progress of Organisational Learning
Nomi Hattingh, Other, Australia
From a program/project management perspective, it is possible to apply organizational
maturity mapping principles
which then measure organizational development e.g. planning, governance, adherence to compliance. These levels are graded from 'know about' to 'beginning to implement' to 'fully adopted within the organization' (or similar)
This approach would be more complex to apply in an environment where there are no ongoing project management processes.
Making Things Happen. EFQM
Derek Moloney, Student (Other), Ireland
David McAra
: I have found the
EFQM Result Approach Deployment Assess Review (RADAR)
is an excellent tool in organisations for sharing best practices and learning from mistakes.
It's also important to have something tangible to measure against such as Customer Satisfaction Score, Internal Customer Satisfaction Score and Staff Listening.
The key is to making learning visible, recognising teams who share knowledge or insight against something tangible or a meaningful marker. The EFQM scoring assists in this.
Also , give teams a challenge to stakeholder listing… share it… we did…
Remember if something can't be said simple/in plain language and shared then it is probably not worth saying.
