Corrected mean-field models for spatially-dependent advection-diffusion-reaction phenomena
Simpson, Matthew & Baker, Ruth (2011) Corrected mean-field models for spatially-dependent advection-diffusion-reaction phenomena. Physical Review E, 83(5), 051922-1--051922-15.
This is the latest version of this eprint.
Published Version
In the exclusion-process literature, mean-field models are often derived by assuming that the occupancy status of lattice sites is independent. Although this assumption is questionable, it is the foundation of many mean-field models. In this work we develop methods to relax the independence assumption for a range of discrete exclusion process-based mechanisms motivated by applications from cell biology. Previous investigations that focussed on relaxing the independence assumption have been limited to studying initially-uniform populations and ignored any spatial variations. By ignoring spatial variations these previous studies were greatly simplified due to translational invariance of the lattice. These previous corrected mean-field models could not be applied to many important problems in cell biology such as invasion waves of cells that are characterised by moving fronts. Here we propose generalised methods that relax the independence assumption for spatially inhomogeneous problems, leading to corrected mean-field descriptions of a range of exclusion process-based models that incorporate
(i) unbiased motility, (ii) biased motility, and (iii) unbiased motility with agent birth and death processes.
The corrected mean-field models derived here are applicable to spatially variable processes including invasion wave type problems. We show that there can be large deviations between simulation data and traditional mean-field models based on invoking the independence assumption. Furthermore, we show that the corrected mean-field models give an improved match to the simulation data in all cases considered.

Labor was prepared to junk the hard-won surplus projected for next year if Europe's debt crisis further destabilises the world economy, Finance Minister
Just two days after the Gillard government committed to a contentious $1.5 billion surplus in 2012-13, both Labor and the Coalition have acknowledged that a new round of fiscal stimulus could be needed to shield Australia from a global slowdown.
"We will always look to what are the right economic and fiscal settings to support growth and jobs," Senator Wong said at The Australian Financial Review-UBS Fiscal Debate in Sydney yesterday.
Australia has "a degree of policy flexibility both on the monetary and fiscal fronts", the Finance Minister said when asked about how the government would respond to an implosion in the European economy.
Shadow treasurer
"I would want the Reserve Bank to do the heavy lifting first, to reach for the monetary policy lever before the fiscal lever," Mr Hockey said at the same event in Sydney.
"Our fiscal stimulus would be more targeted: it would be less about the politics of opening new buildings and more about maintenance."
The commitment from both Senator Wong and Mr Hockey to allow the budget to remain in the red next year, if needed, came amid increasing signs that Europe's debt woes could tip the global economy back into recession.
The issue is also expected to overshadow the ALP national conference in Sydney this weekend, where Labor's Left faction wants the party to accept that a federal budget deficit might be necessary next year to prop up economic growth.
The Gillard government is forecasting that the budget will narrow from a $37.1 billion deficit in 2011-12 to a surplus of $1.5 billion in 2012-13, according to the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) released by Treasury this week.
But Mr Hockey said the government's forward projections did not include big-ticket items such as a proposed national disability insurance scheme and plans to build new submarines.
"There are tens of billions of dollars of liabilities down the track that the government has committed itself to," Mr Hockey said. "There is a pipeline of massive expenditure coming."
Senator Wong defended the fiscal stimulus used by the Labor government during the first phase of the global financial crisis, including the controversial Building the Education Revolution program.
"The lesson of the last stimulus can be demonstrated by the unemployment figures," she said, noting that Australia's jobless rate was about half that of the United States. "We have always done what we have regarded as necessary for jobs and growth."
Mr Hockey said a Coalition government would work with the states to identify areas of need in the event that fiscal stimulus was needed.
"We would be approaching the states to see what their maintenance budgets are on hospitals and schools and a range of other things," Mr Hockey said. "The pipeline of maintenance means that there is ready-made work, rather than having to go through DA [development application] processes and so on.
"The fiscal stimulus would be obviously available, but it would not be the priority at that stage, depending on the circumstances." Former Reserve Bank board member and Australian National University professor
"This debate about deficits is purely politics and has nothing to do with economics," Professor McKibbin said. "We should not make pledges on expenditure based on forecasts of revenue. The danger is that forecasts will be wrong and the reality is that forecasts are always wrong." Former Treasury secretary Tony Cole, who now works at Mercer Investment Consulting, also said monetary policy should be used in preference to fiscal policy if the Australian economy needed to be shielded from a global downturn.
"Turning fiscal policy on via stimulus is harder to do and it's not something that happens quickly," Mr Cole said. "It's a last resort. It's not something that you do on a regular basis."
Commonwealth Bank of Australia director
"It's pretty hard to mount the case that we have government spending out of control," he said.
But Mr Mohl said there was still too much middle-class welfare, some of which had been introduced by the Howard government and then "reinforced" by Labor.
"If you want to debate whether we should have smaller government, then probably most of the business community would say we should," he said.
Mr Hockey reaffirmed the Coalition's commitment to cut taxes if it was elected to government.
"We will have tax cuts," he said. "The way you can do that is by abolishing a whole round of spending initiatives, and those spending initiatives include many of the offsets to the mining tax and the carbon tax."
Senator Wong said the government was committed to improving structural imbalances in the budget, pointing to initiatives such as the increase in the eligibility age for the aged pension and the abolition of the dependent-spouse offset.
"There is no doubt that you have to try to take a long-term view when you look at your budget and try to improve the longer-term health of the budget position, as well as look at the short term," she said.

While David Cameron is on holiday in Cornwall, Larry the Downing Street cat has at last been earning his keep.
The five-year-old feline brought in last year to help curb the mouse problem at No 10 has finally recorded a kill.
"I can confirm that the cat did kill a mouse this morning," a Downing Street spokeswoman said.
Larry's apparently lackadaisical approach to his mousing duties since his arrival from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home had led to speculation that his days at No 10 could be numbered.
However his success today may be enough to secure him a reprieve.
It was particularly apt, coming on a day when one of Mr Cameron's senior MPs was publicly questioning whether he was "man or mouse".
The No 10 spokeswoman quipped: "The only dead mouse in Downing Street is the one Larry caught this morning."

More MLB: Scoreboard | Standings | Probable Pitchers | Sortable Stats | Odds
After Sunday's win over the Indians, the Twins made a roster move. And it's a big one.
Left-handed pitcher Pedro Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Rochester while starting pitcher Kyle Gibson was recalled from there. Gibson is scheduled to make his major-league debut on Saturday against the Royals at Target Field.
Gibson, 25, was taken in the first round in the 2009 draft out of the University of Missouri.
The 6-foot-6 right-hander is 7-5 with a 3.01 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 79 strikeouts in 92 2/3 innings in Triple-A this season. He entered the year ranked as the 68th-best prospect in baseball by Baseball America.

Vocalist & ClubFree NewsletterEnter Email
Backing Singers provide harmonies and vocals that complement the melody line performed by a Lead Singer. Used in many forms of music including Rock, Pop, MOR, Soul, the backing singer has played an integral role in song production.
There are many types of backline vocalists ranging from the band member who sings a bit to dedicated Session Singers who are employed by major touring artists and recording studios. A good backing singer should be experienced in harmonizing and keeping in time with both the lead vocalist and fellow backing vocalists, sight reading is preferable but not essential whilst the ability to 'hear' yourself, identify and sing the correct notes plus learn songs quickly is!
The term 'Backing' denotes that the singer remains in the background, both in live performance and when mixing a recording. The backing vocals on a song can consist of anything from repeating a word, passage or chorus of the song to providing a continuing harmony in time with the lead vocalist.
Whats the difference between a Backing Vocalist and a Harmony Singer
Both provide backing for a lead singer, or vocals for effect on instrumentals. However, a harmony singer is naturally adept at 'hearing' harmony lines over and around the music. They can vocally reproduce what they hear to create a harmony vocal line without requiring written sheet music, or direction from the songwriter or producer.
There are people who are unable to 'hear' the harmony and find it difficult to pitch their notes when another vocalist is accompanying, this is a problem that can be solved by most through ear training and pitching exercises.
In many cases a backing singer is supplied with sheet music which they 'sight read' and sing the notes as directed. Both types of singer are commonly referred to as 'Backing Singers' or 'Backing Vocalists'.
A singer who is versatile and vocally competant at both 'singing by ear' and 'sight reading' can be employed for many projects including music beds, advertising jingles, backing major artists etc., - studio time costs money and an artist who can go in and do the job quickly is prized!
What is a 'Harmony'
The dictonary describes harmony as 'Notes of music combined together in a pleasant sounding way' but that doesn't tell you what a singer should be doing to produce this!
For instance - if the chord played is a C and the lead singer is singing the root note 'C' the harmonies could be based around the 3rd note 'E' and 5th note 'G' of the chord at any point on the scale. This means the backing singer could be vocalising in a higher or lower octave than the lead vocalist depending on their voice type.
Grab a couple of friends and try it yourself. Each person singing one of the notes listed above - Ta Daaa - your singing in harmony! Yes of course, there is more to it than that..... it's advisable to learn music theory to understand the relationship between notes, chords, octaves and harmonics but basically if the notes you are singing around the melody line sound good, fit the style of music and complement the lead vocals then you're ok!
So what qualities does a backing singer need?
The ability to sing by 'ear' or read sheet music are both desirable qualities in any singer but especially for those who wish to pursue a career backing other vocalists and working as a session singer.
Good vocal control is essential, a backing singer must not try to 'outsing' the lead vocalist unless they have been directed to do so for a particular passage or effect!! Whilst most sound engineers and producers will adjust vocal volumes in the mix, it is important for singers who have strong voices to remember to back off the microphone a bit when providing backing for lead vocalists whose voices may not be as powerful.
All types and timbre of voice are employed, with the more popular singers travelling constantly between bookings or contracted full time to a production team. Ideally the singers voice is required to be compatable or 'gel' with the other vocalists. Those with powerful or distinctive voices can still get work as a backing vocalist but may find it more advantageous to pursue a solo career.
Reliability and Consistency of performance is required from every singer, letting your audience or employer down will give you a bad reputation which will quickly spread and prevent you from finding quality employment.
Many vocalists start their careers as a backing singer or lead vocalist with a band as it also presents possibilities of being noticed by A & R!! An example of this is 'Sam Brown' who had a hit song in the 80's as a solo artist. Also read How to sing backup.
Finding Work as a Backing or Harmony Vocalist
Create a publicity pack! Include 3 of your best songs on the demo showing your vocal range. Include one 'clean' vocal track with you singing the melody line (the backing music should be as simple as possible and not 'drown out' your voice). The other tracks should contain examples of your backing and harmony singing abilities.
Buy music industry trade papers like The Stage , NME, Bandit Newsletter, or similar publications that run classified ads for singers wanted. You can even place an advert describing your abilities and offering your services.
Use the internet - many music websites offer a free classified ads section for singers, bands, musicians, music industry personnel. Take advantage of this by owning a website that highlights your talents and include the link in your advert.
Contact Recording Studios, Backing Track Suppliers to see if they hire freelance singers or employ 'in house'.
Keep several Business Cards with you at all times. Don't miss an opportunity, if a band, musician or producer approaches you at an open mic night, jam night, showcase etc., ask for their business card and give them yours!!
Ask professional singing friends, musicians, voice teacher, performance coach for an introduction or recommendation to a agent or management company. Also ask if they will allow you to do a few backing vocals at some of their gigs, you may not get paid but you will get seen by the venue, and/or agent who may offer you bookings.
Enter Talent Competitions and offer your singing services for Charity Shows to gain experience, gain exposure and meet other musicians and artists.
Opportunities are only limited to the competance and determination of the singer who can find work with bands or artists in pubs, clubs, cabaret, nightclubs, radio, television or by deputising for other singers and as a session singer.

A collection of the BEST Fabric Markers covers all your sewing needs!
Magic Seam folder, aka magic marker, Iron-off markers, Water erasable markers (blue), Coloured ceramic pencil and silver gel marker are all you could possibly need for quilting and sewing! For this marker, go to Thimblelady piecing tools.
Iron off marker, in 8 colours, allows you make clear marks and simply iron the mark off!
Water erasable marker (blue) with metal tip by Adga, the original producer, are also great!
Ceramic color pencil is the best thing for working on strong contrast prints.
Our good old silver gel maker still have lovers because of their low cost.
Click on the respective marker for further information. For more information on these markers, read my new illustrated article: how to make the most out of your markers!
Markers comparison and Thimblelady tips:
Iron off markers: Pros: Best for all marking as the marks can be ironed-off after your work is finished. You can feel free to create clear marks using high contrast marks. Cons: None of the 8 colours work on black or very dark colour fabrics. When quilt is placed in the freezer, below freezing point, the mark comes back.
Water erasable markers (blues): Pros: These water erasable blue markers are the best: first, they are Adga (Japan) water erasable marker - Adga is the company first came up with the markers. It is the safest water erasable markers - Adga boasts 1 min disappearance. Second, the markers come with metal tips instead of felt tips that dry out quickly if you forgot to put the cap on. Cons: None of the 8 colours work on black or very dark colour fabrics. When quilt is placed in the freezer, below freezing point, the mark comes back.
Water soluable markers (8 colours): Pros: These water soluable markers are compensating the Blue water erasable marker above for a variety of colours. Metal tip. Cons: The marks take 5 min to come off. Test before using it on projects that can't be "watered generously" or very light colours. The "ink" tends to come out more at the start - make a mark on other material or paper before marking your design.
Coloured pencil with ceramic lead: Pros: This is the only marker that will show up on your high contrast fabrics. Best for high contrast and colourful materials where no other marker is as effective. Cons: Like all pencils, this lead also smudge a bit. I wouldn't use it on white or very light coloured fabrics or plain fabrics - all the rest markers can do a better job in those cases. High contrast and colorful background camouflage and covers "smudges" - a bit wipe off the marks with a damp cloth will be sufficient. It is the most economic lead marker in the market. I prefer to use light yellow (best for dark coloured materials) since other markers can do better job on light and plain coloured materials.
Silver gel marker: Pros: It is a strange marker - the very early one I could find to use on dark colour fabric. It wasn't supposed to be erasable, but the silver just disappearse over use. Now with more new markers available, many quilters who have followed me to use them still trust them! Very low cost for what it does! Cons: Not to use on very light or plain colour fabrics, just in case they don't come off. test before use.

What is this madness?
Entry for the 2015 Roof of the World Rally will be opening on Friday 1st August, which will be the eighth year teams hit the road on a mission to take tea to the world! We aim to deliver possibly the greatest of beverages to the people of the world, with the aim of meeting just a few of them. Over the years the Rally has been refining the tea strategy and finding out what works best on the road and with the locals - we've found out that tea bags (too strong) are not ideal but loose tea hits the spot. Therefore we send teams off with plenty of loose tea and tea strainers. You'll be surprised at just how popular tea can make you.
When does it take place?
The official launch is 11th July 2015, venue TBC, however likely in or around London - teams are welcome to leave at any time that suits them if they can't make the official launch date. The Rally takes approximately three weeks to complete, but depending on your route and adventures it could well be longer. We recommend teams aim to reach Tajikistan around summer time to avoid the worst weather conditions in the mountains.
How much will it cost?
It is difficult to give even a vague figure for total costs, as so many factors are involved. The entry fee is £199 for the first 10 teams, rising to a maximum of £499 for late sign-ups. Why? We want teams to sign up as early in the process as possible, to ensure that they are fully prepared for this epic adventure. Raise over £2,500 for Go Help before July 11th, 2015 and we'll refund your entry fee in full.You will also need to build into your budget the deposit and import tax. To see a very rough breakdown of costs click the 'costs' page.
More Tea Vicar?
So what's all this about tea then? Well we read somewhere in the depths of the internet that the tea bush originated from the Pamirs in Tajikistan. If this is true we have no idea, but it is a fact that the Pamiris love their tea. And that got us thinking, everyone loves a good cup of tea. Tea drinking is a great custom the world over, from English afternoon tea to the Tajik tea house and everything in between. The idea then is to sit down and have a cup of tea with the people you meet on your travels. What better introduction to a Kyrgyz nomad, a Turkish barber, an English diplomat, a Kazakh orphan… the possibilities are endless. The interactions you have with the people you meet on an adventure such as this are what will make your trip most rewarding. So go forth and deliver tea to the world!
The Vehicles
What vehicle can you take on the rally? Firstly – and most importantly, we would like ambulances. Re-commissioning good quality ambulances in Tajikistan provides one of the main drivers for the event, and as such we encourage entrants to take these (see the charity section for more detail). In addition to the obvious charitable benefit, ambulances can be surprisingly cheap, great fun and you can sleep in the back!
Don't want to take an ambulance? Have no fear – ordinary vehicles can also take part in the rally. We encourage vehicles less than 12 years old, and suitable for use on the rough roads of Tajikistan. Vehicles are typically either sold or donated to charities, and as such we need to ensure that we can use them properly when they arrive. If you wish to take a vehicle that is not an ambulance, please email us – we will be happy to advice. Finally, please remember our one golden rule:
· Only left hand drive vehicles can be imported into Tajikistan.
Do we get backup?
Frankly, no. There is NO back up! We don't even know the meaning of the word. You head out on the rally going bravely into the unknown with nothing but a toothbrush and a spare wheel to fight off the marauding bandits. This is an adventure! We also categorically state here that this trip involves essentially driving into the unknown – it is bound to bring risks and be dangerous in parts. There is no doubt that it will be hard. Make no mistake about it – you need to be brave or stupid to take part, and if you do choose to take part – don't sue us if you die. The warning bit is written here and you should take note.
The Route
The 2015 rally official launch location is likely to be in or around London, England. From there, it's off to the final destination of Tajikistan, Central Asia (if you don't know where that is, you are not alone). We encourage you to take on the 'Roof of the World' by driving across the Pamir mountain range of Tajikistan on the second highest highway in the world - which just so happens to be one of the world's best kept secrets (and most insane drives). The rest? Italy, Austria, Siberia, Turkmenistan.......it's up to you. Teams can take any direction they like between the start and finish. Go forth and find some adventure! For further details, visit our Route page.
I'm In!
Interested?? We are looking for some hardy adventurers take some tea to the world. This is a small event with a limited number of spaces for teams. Sign up for 2015 teams is opening on 1st August 2014. If the idea of dragging a vehicle over some of the world's most spectacular and harsh roads appeals, click on 'Join Us' to grab a spot. We've got an opening deal of just £199 for the first 10 teams, after which the fee will increase. We also request that anyone who comes raises a minimum of £1000 for Go Help.

The Assiniboine River in Brandon measured 1,182.74 feet above sea level this morning at 7:30 a.m.
That's about half an inch higher than it was at peak level last weekend, during the first crest of this summer's flood.
Provincial forecasters said yesterday that they expected the river to crest for the second time sometime between today and Sunday, at levels just shy of the 2011 mark, when the river reached 1,182.9 feet above sea level.
After that, water levels are expected to stay high for several days.
The second crest is the result of heavy rains in Saskatchewan, which are making their way through the Assiniboine after being drained through the Qu'Appelle River.

B.C.'s provincial court judges are suing Victoria for what they call the government's irrational and unreasonable refusal to increase their pay and benefits.
The Provincial Court Judges' Association of B.C. says in a lawsuit filed this week it shouldn't be affected by the government's "net zero" wage mandate because judges aren't public sector employees. That claim raised eyebrows inside some of B.C.'s most prominent unions, since judges are paid in public funds.
The B.C. Supreme Court lawsuit says a judges' commission delivered a compensation report to the provincial government last year.
This May, then-attorney general Barry Penner moved that the legislative assembly reject seven of the recommendations in that report. The lawsuit says the government felt it would be unreasonable to depart from its net-zero wage mandate. Under the two-year mandate, public sector unions can only negotiate wage increases if they cut costs elsewhere.
The legislative assembly rejected bumps in salary and benefits for the judges, as well as an increased pension accrual rate. The government noted provincial court judges saw their compensation rise from $161,250 in 2004 to $231,138 in 2010.
But the lawsuit says the Judicial Compensation Act allows for recommendations to only be rejected if the government can prove they're unfair. It accuses the government of failing to respond "in a meaningful way."
By utilizing the net-zero mandate, the lawsuit says, the government "fails to account for the fact that judges, although they must ultimately be paid from public funds, are not public sector employees, but rather an independent branch of government."
As of May 2010, B.C. had 111 full-time and 35 part-time provincial court judges. The court adjudicates almost all criminal charges, family law and child protection cases, and civil claims up to $25,000. Provincial court judges earn less than their Supreme Court counterparts.
A spokesman for Attorney-General Shirley Bond said she was not available for an interview and issued a statement on her behalf.
"It is unfortunate that the judges have chosen to litigate this matter," the statement read. "Government followed the process that has been established to respect judicial independence. After careful consideration, and in light of these challenging economic times, we tabled a detailed response in the legislature in May of this year that set out the government's rationale for rejecting the recommendations on judicial compensation. The resolutions that were presented to the legislature, including those dealing with judges' salaries and benefits, were supported by the house after an open, public debate in the legislature. This is a matter before the courts, so it would be inappropriate for me to comment on it in any detail."
Upon receiving the lawsuit, the province has three weeks to file its response.
Provincial Court Chief Judge Thomas Crabtree declined comment.
Darryl Walker, president of the B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union, said his organization doesn't want to undercut the judges. However, he said if tens of thousands of his union members have had to negotiate under net zero, the judges should do the same.
"There has to be a set of rules that is the same for every one," he said. "It doesn't matter who you are, you still pay the same for bread."
B.C. Nurses' Union president Debra McPherson said the real issue is the net zero policy itself, since it interferes with free collective bargaining.
Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association, said the lawsuit is not surprising because the province's rationale for rejecting the recommendations was not well reasoned.
"What's happened here is the government has simply tried to impose its policy that it's applied to other public sector employees on the judiciary," he said. Mr. Lakshman added that such a move could threaten the independence that's critical to judges.Report Typo/Error

Dude With 3 Nuts Does A Reddit AMA
News.au – THERE was a man with two penises, a dude with no buttcrack and now there is a guy with three testicles. It seems Reddit is the place for people to reveal their body abnormalities. Yesterday, a teenager celebrated his passage into adult life by unveiling his hefty manhood on the popular online forum. The user, who goes under the screen name GardenofGandalf, posted a photo of his three testicles in celebration of his eighteenth birthday. "Just turned 18 and I've been waiting to show Reddit what it looks like to have three testicles," he wrote, alongside a picture of the unusual trio. The condition is known as polyorchidism, a rare condition that affects less than 150 people, according to The Journal of Urology. The average age of detection is 17.It is cited as a congenital disorder, meaning the development of the extra testicle takes place before birth. In most cases, it remains undescended. But Gandalf has some competition on his hands; four testicles have been reported in at least six cases. While GardenofGandalf has not been quite as revealing as his fellow internet sensation, Double Dick Dude, he did answer some of the more pressing questions from users, including: MrCommentator: Do your balls get in the way a lot when you try to walk? GardenofGandalf: They kind of orient themselves in a way that doesn't cause any problems. Cholozane: Do they get tangled up? GardenofGandalf: Honestly, kind of yes GardenofGandalf promised to answer more questions during an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit today. We'll keep you posted on the enlightening details.
Some guys turn 18 years old and they head to Montreal to drink and go to strip clubs. Some nerds out there turn 18 and can't wait to vote. Some heroes out there braver than I am turn 18 and enlist in the military.
And some guys turn 18 and immediately post a picture of their ball bag filled up with 3 nuts and do a Reddit AMA. Just been itching for the clock to strike midnight so he can show his triplets on the internet. Juggling his set of balls for the world to see. You just gotta hope at some point Double Dick Dude, the Dude With No Butt Crack, and Dude With The Testicle Triplets all sit down for some sort of Freakshow Round Table. Maybe make a video for Efukt.com or some shit.
PS – Gotta feel for this guy thinking he's the cock of the walk with his set of three balls only to find out there's 6 guys out there with 4. Can you imagine having four fucking nuts? Thats like having a sack of fucking marbles hanging between your legs.

The drive between beaches gives Emma a chance to carry on the competitive banter. Rich lets his surfing do the talking!!
Laniakea Beach is just up the road and also beautiful. It's one of the beaches along the shore that we haven't been to so it's nice to go there. The lesson kicks off on the beach and then quickly out into the ocean. The conditions are much more difficult than Emma's lesson yesterday. It's a bit choppy, and the waves are shorter and less predictable. Much tougher from a photography point of view too for the surfers, the beach and light is beautiful so Emma gets distracted with that instead
Taya has her morning nap in the baby Bjorn whilst Dylan digs. He makes friends with a little four year old girl and gets bossed around whilst she creates a tea party using all Dylan's buckets and spades and has him running around fetching for her. She then decides she would like to dump sand in Dylan's hair in handfuls, Emma leaves him to work it out with her, "please don't do that on my head its not very kind". Bless him, he does the same to us given half the chance! It's funny hearing your own words come straight back out of your little people's mouths. One of the girls from Rich's class has had enough and comes back to the beach to watch. Heather is from Tennessee and just finished training to be a pre school teacher. She wonders if Emma would mind her playing with Dylan. Heck no! She was fabulous, burying his turtle, pear, and dinosaur and getting him to find them or point to where he thought they were
Laniakea Beach is also known as turtle beach because at the far end of the beach the turtles can often be seen. Laniakea, Oahu, is apparently the best place in the world to see marine turtles up close. Hawaiian green turtles crawl ashore to bask. In most parts of the world sea turtles are shy, elusive, creatures, partly because humans have a history of hunting them.
In Hawaii, however, this has been changing for several years now. Hawaiian green turtles have become more and more accustomed to seeing humans who won't harm them and happily come ashore amid crowds of tourists and beach goers to bask. We head down to the far end of the beach and after a bit of a clamber over some rocks we see two turtles in a shallow rocky pool. Dylan also spots a lizard who puffs out his red throat, and Emma spots some big black crabs on the rocks.
Our lunch is from Ted's Bakery - crab and bacon sandwiches. It is, without doubt, the nicest sandwich ever, so yummy. Taya enjoys her crab sandwich too.
This afternoon we head back to the same beach for a swim and a hope of some more turtle spots. The water is lovely, and we stay in the sea for over an hour. Dylan plays with his body board, dragging it in and out of the water repeatedly. Then Emma pushes him on the waves into the shore where Rich catches him. Taya has a little go at standing on the board for a surf.
Just along the beach there are a few turtles playing in the water with people watching both from the sand and in the water with them. Whilst we play they come over within inches of us, wow how amazing! They are really beautiful, and so big. One of 'our' turtles or honu in Hawaiian, then decides to head out onto the beach to soak up some rays. There are volunteers on the beach who pop a rope down and ask people not to go too close. So incredible that they happily come ashore with so many people around, an amazing sight. We tell Dylan the turtles are special because they are not something he is likely to see many times. We wonder if he thinks every year will be this full of new experiences, maybe it will! Rich and Emma take turns to swim over to the other turtles to get a closer look at the ones in the water. Magic.
Evening stroll with Rich and Dylan is down to Sharks Cove. There are a few showers this evening so Dylan is happy to chill in the rucksack while we go to see the sunset. Another amazing sunset. This time its obscured behind far away rain clouds, while Rich and Dylan shelter from a heavy outburst at the garage across the road for the beach. Dylan looks impressed as Rich produces a sun/rain canopy from the rucksack and pops it over him for the way home.
Fantastic day in amazing Hawaii.

CANNES, France - Cannes is awash in glamorous celebrities who peacock on the festival's red carpet and confidently parade through its multitudes.
Jay Baruchel is not one of them. He may be the most uncomfortable person in Cannes.
Baruchel readily acknowledges it's "a little intense" for his tastes, which are not exactly red-carpet ready: "I don't like wearing suits or nothin'."
The 32-year-old Canadian actor was in Cannes for the premiere to "How to Train Your Dragon 2," for which (like the Oscar-nominated 2010 original), he voices the main character, Hiccup, the young Viking who befriends the dragons his tribe has long slayed. Baruchel, who broke out in the Judd Apatow TV series "Undeclared," is best known for his comedies, including "Knocked Up" and last summer's "This Is the End."
n n n
AP: You've spent some seven years on "Dragon," with a third film planned. What's that journey been like?
Baruchel: You can spend your entire career and never be part of something that's half as an important as "How to Train Your Dragon." We all knew it was a good movie, but I don't know if any of us expected to it be a global phenomenon. ... I feel like I lucked out. This is my "Star Wars."
AP: It took even longer for "This Is the End," which began as a short you and Seth Rogen made years ago.
Baruchel: I really didn't think we'd pull it off. It could have gone so wrong in so many ways. The whole time I was like, "This could be like a two-hour MTV Movie Awards sketch" - all of us playing ourselves, talking about movies.

I have never taken it personally, but two members of my family have, and I've seen over a hundred people in my practice who were taking it, and not one of them has ever complained about weight gain.
Ultimately, the only way to determine if you would be the exception to the rule would be to take it and see what happens.
Also keep in mind that there are probably people who take it (or any other medicine) and gain weight, but this may have nothing to do with the medicine itself; but rather diet and lifestyle choices.
Generic just means that it is not the original brand name put out by the company that developed it. After a medicine has been on the market for a certain number of years, its patent expires and other companies can start to make it. It's usually much cheaper with very little difference, but some difference, like buying store-brand ibprofen as opposed to brand-name Advil.
It's also good to remember that there are a lot of ADD medicines out there, and if this one doesn't work for you for some reason, another one might be the perfect thing.
Thank you
I was taking Genric WB for depression. there is, however a difference in the chemical makeup of GWB. I have researched it and my friend is a biochemist,I simply would like feedback from people who take ritalin. My friend of course is not for any meds...

Bulgaria's Environment Ministry has extended the submission deadline for the environmental impact assessment on the Bourgas-Alexandroupolis oil pipeline project until 30 September, according to reports.
The new deadline was requested in mid-July by Trans Balkan Pipeline, the international company behind the project, which is 51 per cent owned by Russian companies, with the remaining 49 per cent stake being equally split between Bulgaria and Greece.
In late June, Bulgarian Environment Minister Nona Karadjova gave the investor two more months to present the reworked study, saying no more delays would be tolerated.
The minister then said the environmental impact report had to be fleshed out as its content was insufficient to make an objective and comprehensive decision.
The ministry has so far rejected the assessment three times.
According to Moscow's estimates, Sofia should contribute €7.3 million for the stalled project.
The Bulgarian Government raised the capital of Project Company Bourgas - Alexandroupolis Oil Pipeline BG by 150 000 leva in the middle of July to keep the company operational until the fate of the project was clear.
The pipeline is expected to carry 35 million tonnes of oil per year.

George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation on Christie's Auction Block
You may have already viewed President George Washington's proclamation that created the first federal Thanksgiving Day in 1789. This piece of American history was on a national tour by Christie's and stopped at the Jefferson Hotel Nov. 4. It is now on the auction block at Christie's New York at Rockefeller Plaza. If you are in midtown Manhattan, you still have time to see it and make a bid.
Here are some details from Christie's: "On Nov. 14, in a special single-lot evening sale, Christie's New York is honored to offer a proclamation signed by George Washington on October 3, 1789, establishing the first federal Thanksgiving Day, called for the last Thursday of November (estimate: $8 to12 million). This sale, which follows a national tour, offers a unique opportunity to acquire a foundational document in the history of our great national tradition of Thanksgiving."
Here are excerpts from President Washington's proclamation:
"• By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation…
• …both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer…
• Now therefore do I recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being…That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for... the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge…"
