The flux footprint probability distribution (FPD) functions for near-surface receptors over an idealised undulating surface are evaluated using a backward Lagrangian stochastic model. The wind and turbulence fields employed to drive the stochastic model are derived from large-eddy simulations, in which the horizontal wind aligns with the surface-elevation-varying direction. The flux FPD for a receptor is affected by flow divergence or convergence, and varies with the receptor's location. The widest crosswind-integrated FPD (CIFPD) curve with the smallest peak value appears when the receptor is located in the crest area, while the narrowest CIFPD curve with the largest peak value appears when the receptor is located in the windward area. Experiments are designed to highlight the impact of the horizontal homogeneity assumption on the estimation of the FPD. When the receptor is located in the area with surface-wind convergence, the peak value of the CIFPD is larger than its counterpart under assumed horizontally homogeneous flow conditions, with the peak position being closer to the receptor. The case is reversed when the receptor is located in the area with surface-wind divergence. Similar results are obtained when the CIFPD derived from an analytical footprint model (developed under the assumption of horizontally homogeneous flow conditions) is compared with that from the stochastic model over the undulating surface. The analytical model fails to simulate the CIFPD in the local downwind area under weak wind conditions due to the longitudinal wind fluctuation not being considered. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

Application of statistical weather data from the numerical weather prediction model COSMO-2 for noise mapping purposes

sonRAIL is a new Swiss simulation model for railway noise. Its propagation model is applying a ray tracing approach to take meteorological influences on sound propagation into account. The ray tracing algorithm is designed to allow for arbitrary sound speed profiles, which additionally can vary along the propagation path, for example as a consequence of changing surface properties. In order to do noise mapping for long-term averages, weather statistics for entire Switzerland were derived on the basis of model data of COSMO-2, the most recent version of the operational numerical weather prediction model of the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, MeteoSwiss, with a grid resolution of 2.2 x 2.2 km2. Especially in regions with complex topography, as it is the case in Switzerland, this high spatial resolution is a major advantage. Additionally, a profile generator was devised, which allows to calculate vertical profiles of wind speed, temperature and humidity based on input data describing the general meteorological conditions and the local surface properties. Based on this profile generator a classification scheme for meteorological conditions was developed and a set of standard profile functions for wind speed and temperature is given for each class. The validation of the profile generator in comparison with profiles directly taken from COSMO-2 showed good agreement in general, but with a tendency to overestimate temperature gradients under highly stable conditions. A comparison of the probability of occurrence of the meteorological classes derived from COSMO-2 with observation data of conventional stations also yielded a high compliance. However nighttime situations with hardly any wind were underpredicted by COSMO-2. These findings confirm the fact that meteorological modeling is generally most difficult for low wind stable conditions. Yet the advantage of having meteorological statistics available in a small spatial resolution clearly outweighs this restraint. © S. Hirzel Verlag · EAA. Source

Bit-reproducibility has many advantages in the context of high-performance computing. Besides simplifying and making more accurate the process of debugging and testing the code, it can allow the deployment of applications on heterogeneous systems, maintaining the consistency of the computations. In this work we analyze the basic operations performed by scientific applications and identify the possible sources of non-reproducibility. In particular, we consider the tasks of evaluating transcendental functions and performing reductions using non-associative operators. We present a set of techniques to achieve reproducibility and we propose improvements over existing algorithms to perform reproducible computations in a portable way, at the same time obtaining good performance and accuracy. By applying these techniques to more complex tasks we show that bit-reproducibility can be achieved on a broad range of scientific applications. © 2014 IEEE. Source
Probabilistic evaluation of ensemble discharge nowcasts in two nested Alpine basins prone to flash floods

The quality of hydrological discharge simulations depends to a great extent on the uncertainties in the meteorological input and the model parameterization. To quantify these uncertainties, we adopt ensemble techniques in a 4-year nowcast experiment for two nested flash-flood-prone basins in the southern Swiss Alps. The spatiotemporal uncertainties in the weather radar quantitative precipitation estimates (QPE) were accounted for by applying an ensemble of 25 radar fields. To account for uncertainties in model parameterization, a Monte Carlo experiment was run to find 26 equifinal model realizations. The resulting parameter ensemble, consisting of 26 members, was run with precipitation input obtained from interpolated pluviometer data and with the deterministic operational weather radar QPE. To produce the discharge nowcast, the PREcipitation-Runoff-EVApotranspiration HRU Model (PREVAH) was used. PREVAH was calibrated for the main catchment Verzasca. The results for the sub-catchment Pincascia are an independent internal verification of the nowcasting system. The three ensemble nowcasts and the two deterministic nowcasts are evaluated for a 4-year time series and for two events included in that period. The event analysis shows no clear superiority for either pluviometer-based or radar-based nowcasts. The performance for single events depends heavily on the storm characteristics. However, the evaluation of the 4-year nowcast shows that pluviometer-based nowcasts outperform radar-based nowcasts in the gauged and calibrated catchment and that there is added value in the application of parameter ensembles. For the small, ungauged catchment, the results achieved by the radar-based nowcasts are superior to the pluviometer-based nowcasts. Especially the radar ensemble proves to be of significant advantage for flash flood nowcasts in such catchments. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Source

The scientific problem areas, research needs, and new efforts necessary for development of more accurate atmospheric planetary boundary layers (PBL) schemes, are reviewed. Between-site comparisons are critical, as stable PBLs are sensitive to weak surface heterogeneity and to the occurrence of low-level jets. Creation of a catalog of data from complex PBL field studies is useful to develop a unifying theory of mesoscale PBL flows over complex terrain and to develop PBL schemes necessary for accurate high-resolution operational modeling. A deeper understanding of urban PBL dynamics requires development of long-term urban test beds in a variety of geographic regions in various climates, and with a variety of urban core types. The success of PBL descriptions in operational models is dependent upon improved assimilation techniques for PBL data, accounting for not only statistical but also physical flow properties. Source

100 Years of the IPA: The Centenary History of the International Psychoanalytical Association, 1910-2010 - Evolution and ChangeBy: Nellie L. Thompson (editor), Peter Loewenberg (editor)Paperback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionThis collection of essays on the 100 years of history of the International Psychoanalytical Association provides far more than a chronological account of events. Within its pages, one encounters pioneering presences in the world of psychoanalysis, savours endearing anecdotes, comes across phrases that are both quaint and novel, reads the accounts of various splits and also the emergence of new groups, sees new journals evolve, senses the excitement of fresh discoveries in the field, and partakes in a delightful and thrilling sojourn of thought and praxis. Even more importantly, the book offers a close glimpse of the nuanced dialectic between major psychoanalytic concepts and the sociopolitical environments in which such ideas were germinated, spread, took roots, and further evolved. Travelling from Freud's Vienna to locales as different from each other as the United States and Japan, Uruguay and India, England and Turkey, Brazil and China, Australia and Mexico, psychoanalysis retained its basic core while assimilating local expositions of theory and technique. Consequently, the binary essence of psychoanalysis shines throughout the various contributions to this book: all human beings are basically alike and each one is uniquely different. Such unified testimony to our disciplines essential humanity and respect for authenticity makes us feel grateful to the books contributors.'- Salman Akhtar, MD, Training and Supervising Analyst, Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia, and Professor of Psychiatry, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia

Almost perfect
CC Sabathia came eight outs away from a perfect game tonight. He settled for a career-high 14 strikeouts and a 4-1 Yankees win. Perfection ended with Brendan Ryan's seventh-inning single to left field, and Sabathia responded by striking out the next two batters. The weather was a bigger problem than the Mariners, and after the game's second rain delay, Sabathia walked the bases loaded with no outs in the eighth — his only walks of the night — only to have Dave Robertson come out of the bullpen to get out of the jam with only one run coming around to score. Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira each hit their 28th home runs of the season.

text: 000 FXUS61 KPBZ 231232 AFDPBZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 732 AM EST Thu Feb 23 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Warm weather will continue until the passage of a Saturday cold front. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Quick update to add isolated/scattered showers from PIT on southeast this morning in weak convergence pattern. Still expect showers this afternoon to be mainly limited to northern zones, as a frontal boundary is progged to stall in in the vicinity of the I-80 corridor before lifting back to the north as a warm front. Model guidance continues to suggest the possibility of a few thunderstorms in the mix as well, however, chances are too low to include in the forecast as warm air aloft is more likely to keep any activity capped off. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/... Any remaining shower activity that develops across northern zones will diminish this evening as the warm front lifts north. With the forecast area well withing the warm sector, temperatures on Friday look to be the warmest yet since beginning this prolonged period of well above normal temperatures. The current forecast includes record breaking temperatures at all climate locations and dry conditions. Friday night southerly winds will increase as the cold front approaches and this along with plenty of cloud coverage will likely result in record high minimums overnight. There is higher confidence in timing of frontal passage...not pushing it back later and keeping the inherited forecast as-is as the modTrends tool is finally showing a flat linear regression slope regarding the eastern CONUS trough. The front will cross Saturday morning into early afternoon with The timing of the passage would still not seem to favor much of a severe threat given the expected lack of buoyancy, but with strong flow and plenty of shear to enhance updrafts, any storms may need to be monitored for wind gusts. In any case winds will be strong ahead and behind the front through early Sunday...with isolated gusts up to 40mph possible. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Behind the cold front, wraparound showers will drop in coverage Saturday night, with snow showers possible. Sunday will likely be the only completely dry day in the extended forecast. Model guidance is then a little uncertain with timing of a system on Monday before having surprisingly good agreement on Wednesday. Have stuck close to the Superblend through this portion of the forecast. After slightly below normal temperatures on Sunday, high temperatures will increase through the period, with 60s once again a possibility by the first day of March. && .AVIATION /13Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Any remaining VFR should deteriorate to MVFR with occasional IFR through the morning with increasing low level moisture ahead of an approaching surface front. Mixing should improve ceiling levels by afternoon though MVFR is still expected. Scattered showers are possible this afternoon N of PIT as the front sinks further S. Evening/overnight improvement is anticipated with passage of the supporting shortwave and the shift of the surface front back to the north. .OUTLOOK...

chapter 7 Art and Identity
On the Relevance of Nietzsche's Aesthetics
u ch of t h e de bate taking place today on Nietzsche's thought and its possible relevance arises out of a basic problem: how should we read his reversal of Platonism?1 For in overthrowing Plato, Nietzsche rejected western metaphysics in the archetypal form from which (as far as he and his major interpreters, especially Heidegger, are concerned) all of its subsequent development had flowed. This problem is also the best place to begin a discussion of how a Nietzschean aesthetics might be configured and its possible relevance today. Indeed, when it comes to aesthetics, the connection to Plato turns out to be particularly illuminating and significant, for on the question of art, it seems clear—to me at least—that Nietzsche's reversal of Platonism is not, as Heidegger at bottom believes,2 a partial one that leaves unchanged the dichotomies and oppositions (sensible versus intelligible, appearance versus reality, and so on) established by Plato but rather that it goes right to their core and radically contests them. At the threshold of western aesthetics stands the famous condemnation of imitative art delivered by Plato in The Republic. This "condemnation" was refuted, beginning with Aristotle. But the western tradition moves for the most part within the alternatives established by Plato, not questioning them but covering them up and concealing their origin, and its reception of this one is a case in point. Plato formulates his thesis in The Republic, books 3 and 10. The part of it most often adduced and discussed is the metaphysical argument about the distance that separates the image produced by the artist from the idea created by God (Rep. 10.597b), which downgrades the work of art to the status of a copy of a copy, with the pedagogical corollary that to know and enjoy a copy of a copy is to move further away from the world of ideas. But Plato's main emphasis is always on the opposition between the true Being (or being true) of the ideas
Art and Identity: On the Relevance of Nietzsche's Aesthetics
and the character of the artistic image as appearance (as phantasm, specter, eidolon, semblance, simulacrum, Schein …). This entails the hierarchical subordination of sensible knowledge and the emotions to intellectual knowledge. In the dialogue Io, Plato adds another line of argument to the aesthetic position taken in The Republic: the rhapsodist and the poet are not "technicians," they do not speak with well-grounded knowledge, and the only possible source of their utterance is a mysterious force that inspires them, a divine madness. This is generally read as a statement that simply parallels The Republic: imitation is condemned in the Io not on the basis that it makes copies of copies but because it is an activity that cannot be fitted into a rational framework. The third book of The Republic takes yet another tack: dramatic imitation is deprecated because it entails the identification of the imitator with base and unworthy persons or attitudes (Rep. 3.395d ff). But apart from this "moral" line of argument, taken up again in book 10 with the one about a copy of a copy, there is a more radical and global thread of argument that links the discourse of the Republic to that of the Io in a more coherent fashion. The impossibility of defining poetry as a techne, which is the conclusion of the Io and may be considered as a prelude to the "condemnation" in the Republic, counts heavily against art primarily because it flouts the division of social roles.
But perhaps, I said, you would affirm it [the imitative, that is, the dramatic, type of poetry] to be ill-suited to our polity, because there is no twofold or manifold man among us, since every man does one thing… . If a man then, it seems, who was capable by his cunning of assuming every kind of shape and imitating all things should arrive in our city, bringing with himself the poems which he wished to exhibit, we should fall down and worship him as a holy man and wondrous and delightful creature, but should say to him that there is no man of that kind among us in our city, nor is it lawful for such a man to arise among us, and we should send him away to another city, after pouring myrrh down over his head and crowning him with fillets of wool.3
It is true that right after this Plato appears to limit his condemnation once again to imitations that lead to identification with what is most low and vile.4 But these lines allude to a more general and fundamental reason for condemning imitative art, a reason already adduced earlier in very explicit terms:
And to still smaller coinage than this, in my opinion, Adimantus, proceeds the fractioning of human faculty [a moment before it had been agreed that
Art and Identity: On the Relevance of Nietzsche's Aesthetics
not even the poets themselves are able to produce good imitations, either tragic or comic], so as to be incapable of imitating many things or of doing the things themselves of which the imitations are likenesses.5
In the Platonic vision of the state, "there is no man of that kind … nor is it lawful for such a man to arise"—a man, that is, who evades the logic of the division of labor. The division of labor corresponds to an essential character of human nature. There is no man capable of stepping outside himself and sinking into other roles, other individualities; if it appears that there is, it happens only in the realm of imitation and poetic fiction. But this weds the condemnation of imitation as fiction and as a copy of a copy to the "technical" argument of the Io by establishing a nexus between the true reality of human nature and the division of labor. For that matter, in the Io itself this nexus is clearly articulated: the reason it is impossible to define poetry in technical terms is the fact that the appearance it produces causes the poet and the rhapsodist themselves, prior even to the listener, to be transported outside themselves, so that it is no longer they who are disposing words and images according to rules, but words and images that are disposing of them. Thus poetry presents itself, in our experience of it, as a sort of autonomous power of appearance, or—we might say—of the signifier, a power that manifests itself precisely by transporting us beyond the bounds of our "real" condition.6 This is why it cannot be theorized and reduced to rules as a techne can. The irreducibility of poetry to the model of the division of labor7 in this last sense is thus rooted in the fact that poetry, as we experience it, is per se, constitutively, a negation of the division of roles, a violation of the essential segmentation of human nature. Even when he does narrow his condemnation of poetic imitation by sparing the narrative and mixed genres (on which, however, he sets moral restrictions concerning the kinds of persons and states of mind they may represent), Plato's essential model of poetry is always dramatic representation, the kind that transports individuals outside themselves. It is only because narrative and mixed poetry also ultimately imply transport outside oneself (the rhapsodist referred to in the Io sings and narrates but does not actually do tragic or comic theater), that it is necessary to set moral restrictions on the type of events and personages they can represent.8 Even the "natural propensity" of the poet for the sphere of the emotions rather than for the intelligent and composed character9 has more to do with what we might call the ecstatic or disidentifying essence of poetry than it does with his desire to please the audience. The intelligent and composed character, "always similar to himself," is not easy to imitate
Art and Identity: On the Relevance of Nietzsche's Aesthetics
or readily graspable. Poetry, which is above all an experience of disidentification on the part of both poet and audience, prefers to seek its objects of imitation not in the world of the ever-the-same but in the realm of the changeable and the various: not in the zone of the intelligible but in that of the sensible. It is not possible here to present a complete reconstruction of Plato's aesthetics with reference to this "theatrical" concept of imitation as disidentification, nor to discuss, as one ought, the problematic relationship between madness and the transport produced by poetry and artistic appearance, and the forms of ecstasy and mania that Plato includes with a positive valence in his description of the voyage of the soul toward the ideas (as in the famous passage from Phaedrus, 265b, where the poetic inspiration of the muses is one of the four forms of divine delirium, the others being the prophetic, the mystical, and the amorous). My aim is solely to emphasize that a decisive component of the all too well known Platonic condemnation of poetry and art is the connection, first clearly theorized by Plato, between poetic and artistic appearance on the one hand, and disidentification, transport outside oneself, and the breakdown of the ordered division of social roles on the other. The subsequent tradition has mostly obscured this connection (though this affirmation too would require separate documentation): isolated from its disidentifying power, the appearance produced by poetic or artistic imitation could be justified as an auxiliary instrument of knowledge or moral education (this starts with Aristotle); while ecstasy, cut off from appearance, or related exclusively to an appearance already depotentiated and made subservient to truth, was developed in its "positive" valence only, as a mode of access to the deep structures of the metaphysical order that also sanctions and guarantees the division of social roles and the identity and self-continuity of individuals above all else. Before Nietzsche, perhaps only Kierkegaard had revived the spirit of Plato's argumentation, in his theory of aestheticity as a stage of existential discontinuity; and Kierkegaard fully endorsed the Platonic condemnation, The concealment of the link between aesthetic appearance and disidentification, a concealment that culminates in Hegel, may properly be regarded as one aspect of the forgetting (of Being?) that, according to Heidegger, constitutes metaphysics. Naturally to characterize metaphysics primarily through its concealment of the art-disidentification nexus, as Nietzsche does, is a far cry indeed from the spirit of Heidegger's theses. Perhaps it even sheds light (with "Being" placed in parentheses and followed by a question mark) on their permanent metaphysical nostalgia. To recall the forgotten Platonic nexus between aesthetic
Art and Identity: On the Relevance of Nietzsche's Aesthetics
appearance and the negation of identity and social roles is what the Nietzschean aesthetics is all about. I am far from claiming that we may speak of "the aesthetics of Nietzsche" as a coherent, unitary, and easily discernible whole. But even the questions that such an expression immediately provokes form part, or characterize the content of the problematic "Nietzschean aesthetics." The main reason for this is that the outline of the aesthetic problem grows progressively more blurred as Nietzsche's thought moves from The Birth of Tragedy, which is still a book "on aesthetics," to the reflections on art and artists in Human, All Too Human, and on to the notes in the Nachlass and "the will to power as art." There is only one satisfactory way to account for this: my hypothesis is that Nietzsche's original model of aesthetic experience was narrowly based on the problem of tragedy and the word-music relationship and that it evolved as his critique of Platonic-Christian metaphysics and the civilization grounded on it grew more radical. When he was a young man, his belief in "the art of our works of art"10 had gone hand in hand with his faith that tragedy was being reborn in the Wagnerian musical revolution. But as his critique expands, it draws art into the same field of force as metaphysics, morality, and religion: art too is an aspect of nihilism, one of those phenomena to which by now we have severed our ties. Yet if it is clear in Human, All Too Human and his subsequent writing that the art of our works of art cannot be the model, or even the point of departure, for a new tragic civilization, it is no less clear that art as it has been determined in the European tradition has an ambiguous character and that not everything in it is destined to perish with the devaluation of the highest values. That is why art still features so prominently in the works of Nietzsche's maturity, from Zarathustra to the late notes for The Will to Power. The fact is that a Dionysian ember still glows in art, despite all the mystifications and moralizing misinterpretations that Nietzsche lays bare in his analysis, and the renewal of tragic civilization depends on fanning it back to life. "Incipit tragoedia" is the heading of the last aphorism of the fourth book of The Gay Science, in which Zarathustra is first proclaimed. Yet everything said to this point still concerns the "philological" problem of defining a Nietzschean aesthetics—the problem of isolating a nucleus of propositions regarding art in Nietzsche's thought and establishing their relationship with his other doctrines and their development. From the perspective that interests me here, it is less important to achieve such a reconstruction than it is to sharpen our focus on the characteristic connection, explicitly theorized in full as early as The Birth of Tragedy, between aesthetic appearance and the negation of identity.
Art and Identity: On the Relevance of Nietzsche's Aesthetics
There is a strong analogy, at the level of description, between the phenomenon of the tragic as defined in The Birth of Tragedy and poetry as characterized by Plato in the Io and The Republic. In Plato poetic imitation is interpreted primarily in terms of its production of appearances (imitations, copies of copies), and then, more profoundly, in terms of its producing escape from identity. The decisive intermediate link between these two poles is the point that the poet's occupation cannot be made to fit into a strict model of the division of labor. Likewise, in Nietzsche's book on tragedy the production of aesthetic appearance (the world of the beautiful Apollonian forms) is traced back to the Dionysian impulse, which can only be defined as the impulse to negate identity. The devotee of Dionysus is consumed by the horror and ecstatic rapture that result when the principium individuationis (the principle that each individual is himself alone and stands permanently apart from all the others) is violated. For him
not only is the union between man and man reaffirmed, but nature, which has become alienated, hostile, or subjugated celebrates once more her reconciliation with her lost son, man… . Now the slave is a free man; now all the rigid, hostile barriers that necessity, caprice, or "impudent convention" have fixed between man and man are broken. Now, with the gospel of universal harmony, each one feels himself not only united, reconciled, and fused with his neighbor, but as one with him, as if the veil of Maya had been torn aside and were now merely fluttering in tatters before the mysterious primordial unity.11
The heart of the festivals of Dionysus consisted almost everywhere "in extravagant sexual licentiousness, whose waves overwhelmed all family life and its venerable traditions."12 Nietzsche distinguishes between the "barbaric Dionysian" of the original Thracian founders of the cult and the "Hellenic Dionysian," and although the remark quoted refers exclusively to the former, within a few lines he asserts that at a certain point similar instincts penetrated to the core of Greekness as well. The Dionysian is actualized when man is reconciled with nature and with the rest of mankind in primal unity. This can only come about through a violent break with the "venerable traditions" on which society is built, above all the principium individuationis and all it entails. Everything said about the Dionysian applies to the tragic as well—for the tragic is not the balanced synthesis of the Dionysian and the Apollonian that a number of explicit statements by Nietzsche appear to suggest. In The Birth
Art and Identity: On the Relevance of Nietzsche's Aesthetics
of Tragedy, the Dionysian element is privileged with respect to the Apollonian, and tragedy is the final triumph of the Dionysian spirit. This view could be backed up with numerous citations from The Birth of Tragedy itself and others from across the entire span of Nietzsche's career. The latter would show that tragedy and Dionysus continue to play a major part until Nietzsche ceased to write altogether, whereas the figure of Apollo disappears. And even in The Birth of Tragedy, notwithstanding Nietzsche's explicit intention to maintain the idea of synthesis (the combination of Apollo and Dionysus generates tragedy, just as the duality of the sexes leads to reproduction)13 and thus his bond with Schopenhauer, the Dionysian is clearly preeminent, more radically originary. Similarly, in the conclusion to chapter 21, in which he analyzes Wagner's Tristan, Nietzsche leaves no doubt as to how the overall effect of tragedy is to be understood:
Should our analysis have established that the Apollinian element in tragedy has by means of its illusion gained a complete victory over the primordial Dionysian element of music, making music subservient to its aims, namely, to make the drama as vivid as possible—it would certainly be necessary to add a very important qualification: at the most essential point this Apollinian illusion is broken and annihilated. The drama that, with the aid of music, unfolds itself before us with such inwardly illumined distinctness in all its movements and figures, as if we saw the texture coming into being on the loom as the shuttle flies to and fro—attains as a whole an effect that transcends all Apollinian artistic effects. In the total effect of tragedy, the Dionysian predominates once again. Tragedy closes with a sound which could never come from the realm of Apollinian art. And thus the Apollinian illusion reveals itself as what it really is—the veiling during the performance of the tragedy of the real Dionysian effect; but the latter is so powerful that it ends by forcing the Apollinian drama itself into a sphere where it begins to speak with Dionysian wisdom and even denies itself and its Apollinian visibility. Thus the intricate relation of the Apollinian and the Dionysian in tragedy may really be symbolized by a fraternal union of the two deities: Dionysus speaks the language of Apollo and Apollo, finally, the language of Dionysus, and so the highest goal of tragedy and of all art is attained.14

Bioelectronics is an exciting multidisciplinary field that converges biology, physics and electronics. The emerging field is attracting major attention within leaders of academia and industry. One of the main reasons relies on the ability to develop and characterize systems, which accurately translate cellular signals and/or restore damaged signalling pathways. Microelectrode arrays with planar electrodes on a substrate in close contact with cells in culture, are the most common electrophysiology tools. Their goal has been to detect action potentials in neurons. In order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spatial resolution, filters are used to specifically detect events located at about 1 KHz. As a consequence, low frequency events are filtered out, as their detection is impaired or even inhibited.
Our brain is mostly composed by Glia cells. Glia cells have been found to play a fundamental role in all aspects of the nervous system. Glia cells, as well as their transformed counterparts, glioma cells, do not exhibit action potentials like neurons do. Instead, they exhibit distinctive, albeit ultra-weak, single-cell oscillations of the membrane potential. To measure this extremely weak activity, one must realize a new approach. A possibility is to devise innovative large electrodes with enhanced Helmholtz-Gouy-Chapman double layer capacitance. Small extracellular voltages of cells adhered to the electrode induce a displacement current that is enhanced by a gain factor equal to this double layer capacitance. In this way, the minuscule electrical activity can be detected over a population of cells.
This project aims to develop a highly sensitive system able to detect, stimulate and decode electrically quiescent cells such as Glia and their transformed counterparts Glioma cells.
The bioelectronics project within the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering of the University of Bath is looking for a highly motivated candidate to:
- Design and fabricate transducers
- Characterize different electrode materials such as Au and Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)
- Monitor and characterise cell adhesion through electrical techniques such as impedance spectroscopy
- Develop, conduct and interpret in vitro electrophysiological assays of brain cells
- Accurately and safely use all biology base equipment regularly, including balances, pipettes, electrophoresis and centrifuges
- Prepare chemical solution and reagents to the precision appropriate to the task
Candidates should send their application electronically containing an application letter, CV, diploma/degree/mark sheet (official transcript), and reference letters to firstname.lastname@example.com Applications will be considered until the position is filled.

The spot urges listeners to participate in the vote and warns if voters fail to do so, it will result in the loss of entitlement benefits and funding for black universities. "If someone tells you that by voting today, you cannot vote in November - it's just a Tea Party, bald-faced lie." Are you going to let the clock run out on today? By not voting, you are saying 'take away all of my government programs, such as food stamps, early breakfast and lunch programs, millions of dollars to our black universities.' Everything we and our families depend on that comes from Washington will be cut. Mississippi will never be the same. The question is, will you spend $5 on gas to vote, or allow the Tea Party to send us back to the good ol' bad days? Vote against the Tea Party. Vote Thad Cochran."

I'm Fired Up: Why direct-to-consumer sales are killing specialty retail
Thanks for keeping the conversation going on this Frank. Seems like almost all my vendors are competing with me these days. They've probably all signed on to the "Sustainability Movement" as well. Vendors having product available on their website at keystone is one thing, fine, but breaking price and obviously taking care of some big online retailers is another.
Todd, thanks for posting. I just read your article after clicking another SNEWS article. As a specialty outdoor retailer for over 40 years, our frustration levels with vendors have reached new heights this season. From outrageous pre-holiday promotions to foolish exclusive Amazon third-party seller deals, many vendors have turned their backs on the specialty distribution channel. The problem worsens with highly seasonal products like winter equipment. Our service business in molding boots and mounting skis has increased in recent years *both* as more equipment is purchased off-price / online and as other retailers in our area close doors. None of us can survive (much less sustain a winter equipment business) with only service revenue and no full-price product sales. Strange that vendors aren't too concerned with the future of no dealers to fit and service their products. Consumers should be concerned with such a future.
Todd, you have hit the nail on the head! I believe this industry is lost in a wake of sales first ethics second. When a bunch of us (including myself) retailers have promotions at the same time because they are allowed, this thing is broken. When 30% off is the new norm this industry is breaking! When one retailer dictates promotion windows we are breaking. When vendors start matching online retailers with loyalty point programs we are breaking. When vendors have to break price during the season something is really broken. When department stores start selling our brands we are breaking. When Amazon is considered a premier retailer and does not have to make a profit we are breaking. When a vendors tells me Amazon holds price! I have to laugh! I tell them with everything being equal Amazon will take sales from them and us because they are the best at convenience. If Amazon was a store would they be opened by our vendors? Maybe? Really? There are two things that you can count on in life; Death and Change! I can tell you that I do feel a change from some of our vendor partners, but they have such huge challenges to grow. We may not be a part of their change. That is ok. Selling direct is not the problem so much as discounting in season directly is. There are none of us that can or will stock all of their product, and they need a platform to show what they do. There are vendors that are trying very hard to use their web sites to direct traffic to all of us locally. Thank you! There are some that don't or won't. That is what perplexes me! Really! That is genius! If we can harmonize all the marketing efforts to facilitate the consumer to buy from us or direct (at some kind of full price model), that is what makes sense. Travel Country is going to move forward with the brands that make the right moves towards a mutually beneficial relationship and support specialty! There are brands that are trying because they are hearing the call! Lets work together to keep this great industry what it should be!!!
Thank you, everyone, for sharing your thoughts so candidly on such a sensitive issue. I'm working on a follow up story involving opinions from both retailers and vendors, and I appreciate your input. We hope the conversation continues. If you're interested in talking with me for the article, or if you're interested in sharing ideas about other issues you see in the industry, please email me at email@example.com. Thanks, Kassondra Cloos, SNEWS Assistant Editor
email@example.com is Mike Leffler at Appalachian Outfitters
Sorry for the delay Todd but we were out of town. We're about to open our new store on March 1. We have already told KEY long time vendors that they will not be part of the product mix at that location because of these tactics you mention. One said, "well you can go off price too!" Thank you for letting me cut my margin!
Todd - We are all upset about the DtoC initiatives of most vendors. I just now had the time to write a well crafted response. I completely agree with Chris, there is only one way to get the attention of a vendor. Stop writing orders. Having been in retail for 32 years, Black Creek has a better chance of outlasting most of our brands, we are a retailer first, an outdoor retailer second. We started as a windsurf shop, added rollerblades and skateboards, then the outdoors and now paddlesports. Over the years we have pruned windsurf, rollerblades skateboards. Industry brands have an opportunity to treat us as partners, if they do not outdoor products will be just another department in Dicks, Gander, Cabelas and Academy and of course Amazon. The word opportunity is key here, there is a lot of opportunity within the industry.
Just had a chance to circle back and see if anyone else commented. I have to say that I am disappointed more retailers are not as outraged as I am. I did get 3 calls from sales managers trying to talk me off the edge! Before you turn in those pre seasons ask yourself if it is a good investment based on the company track record. If we don't change tactics they never will.
I wanted to reach out and thank SNEWS for entertaining the idea of a retailer forum where we can all talk about the real issues we are faced with. I too was told by multiple vendors sales managers that the issue was unique to Missoula. The more vendors can keep us in out silo's the easier it is to simple say "its just you" which is just not the case. I once was told by a sales manager that they would do something "special" for us. My response was no I want everyone in my situation to get the same deal. Your reps are in the same boat as you. Those direct to consumer deals offered by companies competing with you and all the other vendors DTC programs hurt your reps as much as the shops. I get that it is harder than ever, I think we all see that every day in out business I am just going to choose to do business with those companies that see value in what we do and are willing to share risk and reward with us. For as much as online has changed the landscape, the power of that relationship is more important that it ever has been. United as a group retailers can help vendors understand that.
imtsales is Chris Haunold from Idaho Mountain Touring in Boise Idaho and I am happy to post my name and opinion on this topic.
Great point...if vendors have to discount and offer other incentives to get consumers to buy their products how can they expect retailers to sell their products at full price ? Todd's article is right on and retailers need to vote with our check books and reduce or stope buying from vendors who continue to under cut their dealers.
Thank you Todd for expressing our challenges in specialty outdoor so clearly. I am in my 26th year in the outdoor industry. I have managed, purchased for, and owned shops in the outdoor industry. When my wife and I have these same conversations with our sales reps we are often told, "that must be unique to your shop, our sales are up, others in the region are seeing great growth". You realize who is being honest and developing long-term relationships versus who is selling for the next commission. We, too, have kicked out brands that we helped pioneer in our region. We truly appreciate your pushing this conversation.
Thanks to Todd for his insight and so clearly expressing the challenges independent retailers face. To vendors I would like to say "If you can't sell your product at the MSRP, how can you expect me to do so?"

text: I have been born and raised a Catholic, although I ceased frequenting the church in my teens, all the while remaining a believer. I grew in faith a few years ago and desired to join a church with a strong fellowship. I ended up going to a local baptist church and following their baptism preparation course, which exposes the main points of their doctrine. I agree with the essential points, although when it concerns Catholicism I remain more moderate. I have completed roughly half of the course at this point. A few days ago I completed another course with the pastor, and he gave me a form. The form was a declaration that I renounced the Catholic faith, to be sent to the parish I was baptized in, and he was very keen on me doing that. He said to me it would be wrong to be a member of two different congregations. I don't disagree with it. However, for some reason it feels a bit antagonistic to me. Where I live, at least culturally (although few people go to church), roughly 90% of people are Catholics, and only 0.5% or so are Evangelicals. So I don't know, maybe this is why they seem to want to take more of a stand. For this reason that is the first time in the course where I started to have doubts. He said I would be viewed an apostate by the Catholic church because she still views evangelical churches as sects. It feel like a lot to me to sever all ties in such a fashion, I don't know if I would be capable, because where I live, a lot of one's sense of identity is tied to Catholicism itself. So I wonder if this is a common practice among baptist churches and if I should remain in this church, for which I have otherwise no complaints.

Sri lankan naval agencies detained four Indian fishermen
Sri Lankan naval agencies have detained four Indian fishermen and their fishing trawler. They have arrested from South West of Delft Island, while they have tried to poach in Sri Lankan waters.
The fishermen were hailing from Rameshwaram in Tamilnadu. The Srilankan coast guard was assisted by the Sri Lankan navy in arresting the fisherman.
The detained fishermen and their trawler have taken to Jaffna for further proceedings and they will be handed over to assistant director of fisheries.
This incident happened just one day before the scheduled bilateral talk between the representatives of India and Sri Lankan fishermen.
Around 13 fishermen representatives from Thanjavur, Nagapattinam, Pudukottai and Ramanathapuram districts of Tamil Nadu and three to four fishermen representatives from Karaikal in the Union territory of Puducherry are expected to attend the meeting. The Sri Lankan side will be represented by an equal number of fishermen representatives from Jaffna, Mannar, Mullivaikal and Vanni.
While informal talks between the fishermen held in 2004 and 2010 as well as the talks held in Chennai in 2014 with the support of the Indian and Sri Lankan governments failed to solve the issues.
- Topics:
- Indian fishermen
- Sri Lankan coast

Jun 25, 2007Last night I was minding my own business, cutting some code, when the blog comments started to race in. But rubbish spam comments, not real ones.
I haven't had a big problem with spam since installing a simple CAPTCHA on my comments and contact forms, and where my previous spam:real ration was about 10:1 it's now more like 1:10 - which is great.
At the time I installed the CAPTCHA, I opted for a 3 letter CAPTCHA that wasn't case sensitive, to make life easier for my visitors. I said that when the robots managed to break the CAPTCHA, I'd have to increase it to more letters or make it more complex.
I'm not 100% sure the spam last night was automated - there were only 20 or so messages over the course of 5 minutes before I turned off commenting for the night. This would be possible to do by hand I guess, though the comments themselves looked rather inane, in some places copy-pasting content from the blog post and using it in the comment (which would probably almost work if I didn't remember writing that exact text in the blog post).
What to do nextSo, I'm going to turn comments on again and see how things go for a while.
I probably need to get cracking on writing an AKISMET plugin for Jojo CMS, as I hear Wordpress users rave about how good that thing is for stripping spam comments.
After that' I'll look at other ways to make the comments harder to spam, which will probably include rate limiting, a harder CAPTCHA or a sandbox before comments go live.
To the spammerFor crying out loud, getting a live comment link on this blog not that hard.
- Read one of my posts.
- Post a comment that adds value to the post overall.
- Make sure the website you want linked to isn't MFA shit.
That's all really. Assuming this spam wasn't automated, I'm pretty sure the time required to spam is more than the time required to simply leave a decent comment.

Lead-acid automotive batteries convert chemical reactions into electrical energy using an electrochemical process. Over time, the lead plates in a battery will combine with the sulphuric acid electrolyte to create lead sulphate crystals. As these crystals cover the lead plates, the electrochemical process slows to a point that the battery is no longer a useful source of electrical energy.
Unfortunately, a fully charged battery looks much like a discharged battery. To tell whether a battery can be used or not, the battery must be tested with a device called a digital multimeter.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Easy

Things you need
- One 12V battery
- Digital multimeter

- 1
Turn on the multimeter. Set the multimeter scale to "Volts DC."

Read the multimeter display; the voltage reading should be between 12.2 and 12.6 volts DC.
Tips and warnings
- A battery with a voltage reading above 12.2 volts but below 12.6 volts may require charging before use.

I don't mean like high-allteh-time stoner chicks, but just like... the ones that do it soemtimes, that arn't like prudish,m know what I mean? I guess its psycohlogical. It must be an opposites attract thing because I don't smoke pot at all. Plus a lot of them whear tank tops, which are extra hot. They just hug their bodies, and they bare shoulder,s which are suprisngly hot. Thatll getcha right there. Girls... what cna I say that I havnt said in detail here already, ahahhaha.
Whish is weird cause I was thinking walking back freom ym friends house that I don't even like drinking, and I have no interest in doing drugs, so why ar ethye so hot, those girls? One of these days I'm going to live the good life, no drinking, eat healthy, just enjoy fucking being alive because when /i wake up in the morning I swear I'm in heaven. It just feels so good, theres just a lot to just be around and love and appreciate. Plus drunk people can't have sex, hahaha, suckers!
And FUCK water is like my favourite beverage man! I remmeber my grnadpa being like "you thsould drink your water, its good for tyour brain!" and I took his word for it and I learned to love it. Non of the this bottled water bullshit, ym tap water is amazingly good. Water makes me feel like god.

In a 1000 years if people study Canada and it's culture, they are going to be talking about this book/cartoon and the Leafs/Canadiens rivalry, because it goes way beyond the sport.
