text: Cognition, Language, and Intelligence Cognition What is Cognition? • Literally "thinking" • The brain's representations of information in the world around us • The way the mind processes this information • Sensation → Perception → Cognition Categories Categories: mental groupings of similar objects, events, and people. "Chair" Categories Organize lots of information with a minimum amount of effort Allow us to solve problems quickly What determines category membership? Aristotle: Defining features look for features that every member of the that category possesses Either is or is not a member of a category Examples Triangle Bachelor But do categories really fit this definition? "Chair" What is common to all of them? Wittgenstein: "Family resemblance" Eleanor Rosch studied how people actually use categories: Prototype model Category membership determined in terms of similarity to "prototypical" exemplars Examples • Chair • Red Prototype model Categories are not "all or none" Instead, they have graded structure Good example Poor example Prototype model Categories have "fuzzy" boundaries Chair? Chair? Red? Red? Chair? Red? Chair? Chair? Red? Red? Prototype properties apply to Natural categories: e.g., Birds, trees, red Artificial categories: e.g., Chairs, Aircraft, Weapon What's the category? • • • • • • • Human infant Photo albums Jewelry Dog Insurance documents Data discs Tapestries What's the category? Human infant Photo albums Jewelry Dog Insurance documents Data discs Tapestries "Things to take from a burning house" (Barsalou, Ad Hoc Categories) "things to take on a camping trip" "ways to make friends" "possible costumes to wear to a Halloween party" "emergency firewood" Categorizations made with respect to a goal Things can be cross-categorized Levels of Categorization Superordinate Animal Furniture Plant Vehicle Basic Fish Chair Tree Train Subordinate Trout Rocking Chair Oak Tree Freight train Superordinate: Broadest and least specific category. (e.g., animal, furniture) Basic: More specific, the level of prototypes. A common level of categorization. (e.g., fish, chair) Subordinate: Most specific type of category, it has the most distinguishing about of information. (e.g., trout, rocking chair) Bandwidth-Fidelity Tradeoff Bandwidth • Number of members included • Superordinate categories have the highest bandwidth Fidelity • Number of properties • Subordinate categories have the highest fidelity Basic level categories • Represent best solution to Bandwidth-fidelity tradeoff • Generated first in naming tasks • Learned first by children Language • Language – our spoken, written, or gestured words and the way we combine them to communicate meaning Animal language Why study language in animals? • Communication with animals allows us to learn more about other species • By examining differences across species we can learn about language Language vs. Communication Many animals (especially social animals) communicate Examples • Bees—"dances" specify distance, direction, & quality of food • Vervet monkeys—Different signals for different predators • Parrots => animals can communicate. BUT can they use language? What is language? Two conditions must be met: SEMANTICS - ARBITRARY UNITS (WORDS) WHICH HAVE MEANINGS. Hissing cat? Vervet monkey? SYNTAX - WORDS ARE ORGANIZED TOGETHER ACCORDING TO RULES Chomsky: it is syntax that is innately human. Animals can learn words (perhaps) but cannot have a grammar. Experimental Evidence: can animals be taught to use language? William Furness (1916) – taught orangutan to speak English 3 words: "Cup" "papa" and "th" Hayes's (1951): raised a chimp-Vicki-as a human child • tried to teach her English 4 words: "mama" "papa" "cup" & "up" • perhaps chimps do not have coordination and control required to produce spoken language. Gardners (1969) raised chimp—Washoe—as a human child • Tried to teach A.S.L. (has discrete units and a grammar) • Washoe lived in a trailer behind house for 5 years • Had human companions during all her waking hours Washoe • Not specifically rewarded for performing a sign • After 4 years had developed 132 A.S.L. signs • apes can meet 1st criterion for a language - use arbitrary symbols as referents for objects (semantics) BUT could apes do syntax? (organize words together according to grammatical rules) • Not clear whether Washoe could do this • Washoe prompted investigators to look at syntactic competence • Premack trained female chimp, Sarah, to use plastic chips to communicate. • E.g., Blue triangle = apple • Was required to give signs in correct order • Rumbaughs trained several chimps to use "lexigrams" to communicate with each humans & with each other => But evidence controversial Used caged chimps Rewarded animals Nim Chimpsky • 125 ASL words • Made many 2-word combinations • But did not move on to more complex sentences • 3-word sentences had no more info than 2-word sentences • Most utterances prompted by experimenter • Unlike human infants • Chimps merely repeating what E signed • Chimps prodded by experimenters Rumbaughs • Examined Bonobos (Kanzi) • Learned early in life • Comprehension of 2.5 year old • Well controlled studies The experimenter prepares to test Kanzi by placing headphones on his head. Kanzi listens for spoken English, which comes from another room. Kanzi generally displays a very intent expression at the moment he recognizes the word. The experimenter prepares to open a "test booklet" which hold 3 items, one of which corresponds to the word that only Kanzi can hear. Kanzi gestures with his left hand in a upward motion to signal that he is ready for the test booklet to be shown to him. Kanzi looks over the photos in the test booklet Kanzi selects a photograph to indicate which English word he heard through the headphones. The experimenter congratulates Kanzi on his correct choice. Human Language • Language related to our thought processes • Behaviorists: thought = language But • People with vocal cords paralyzed can think • So can children and nonhuman adults • So can brain-damaged adults • Today, relation between thought & language more complex =>Language facilitates thought • Some people try to get us to think about differently by using different words. E.g., politicians: "revenue enhancement"= tax increase Human Language Other Euphemisms • Oral hygiene appliance • Media courier • Negative patient care outcome • Vertical transportation corps • Social expression products • Preemptive counter attack • Given an alternative career opportunity • Being economical with the truth • Unscheduled terrain encounter Human Language But do different languages facilitate different thoughts? E.g., Dani people of New Guinea • 2 basic words for color: mili & mola • So do they have difficult discriminating colors? • "Whorf" hypothesis: Language determines the way we think => people who speak different languages think differently. => Dani should not be able to think about different types of colors. • BUT research (Rosch) shows Dani make as many discriminations between colors as people who have many more basic color terms Language Development • Genes design the mechanisms for a language, and experience activates them as it modifies the brain Environment: spoken language heard provides input to Genes Brain: design mechanisms for understanding and producing language Behavior: mastery of native language Learning Foreign Languages Percentage correct on grammar test 100 New language learning gets harder with age 90 80 70 60 50 Native 3-7 8-10 11-15 17-39 Age at school Intelligence What is intelligence? • Cognitive ability → the ability to perform well in cognitive tasks • The ability to use knowledge, solve problems, understand complex ideas, learn quickly, and adapt to environmental challenges Issues in the study of intelligence • Can intelligence be quantified? • Is it fair to use measures of intelligence in situations that can affect people's life outcomes? • Is intelligence more determined by genetics or environmental factors? • Are their racial differences in intelligence? Francis Galton British scientist who wrote "Hereditary Genius" in 1869, suggesting that genius is heritable because it runs in families 1. Intelligence is quantifiable (i.e., numerical values can be assigned to distinguish between people's level of intelligence) Frequency 2. Differences among people form a Bell shaped curve Low Intelligence High Francis Galton 3. Intelligence can be measured by objective tests 4. People's scores on different tests are correlated Founded "Eugenics": advocates improving human species by applying evolutionary theory to encourage "biologically superior" people to interbreed Alfred Binet France, 1904: Commissioned to develop techniques to identify children in need of special education Designed first intelligence test (series of short tasks not relying on reading skills) Did not believe intelligence was fixed or inherited Lewis Terman Stanford University, 1916: Brought Binet's intelligence test to US → Stanford-Binet test Designed to be administered in a standardized fashion to large numbers of people E.g., Immigrants at Ellis Island; 1.75 million soldiers in WW2 Immigrants measured according to country of origin Nordics > Southern Europeans & Slavs > Blacks => stricter immigration policy in 1924 But this was overlooked: Blacks from Northern states > Blacks from Southern states Europeans in US for longer > those in US for shorter period Examples of items on Stanford-Binet Test Age Sample test item 2 Here are some pegs of different sizes and shapes. See whether you can put each one into the correct hole 4 Why do people live in houses? 6 Here are some candies. Can you count how many there are? 10 Why should people be quiet in the library? 12 What does "regret" mean? 14 What is the similarity between high and low? What does an IQ test reflect? Intelligence Quotient (IQ) = Mental Age X 100 Chronological Age E.g., If you had a mental age of 10 when you were 8 years old, you IQ would be 125 IQ = M.A. X 100 = 10 X 100 = 125 C. A. 8 IQ range 100 90-110 above 120 below 70 average normal range superior developmentally disabled What does an IQ test reflect? An example of an IQ test (though not a good one) is the SAT 2 sets of multiple choice items (verbal & quantitative) Can we improve our SAT scores with coaching? Yes, but not by much: 10-20 points on the normal 200-800 range What do we mean by "intelligence?" • What does the Stanford-Binet test actually measure? • What do we want to measure with IQ tests? • What do modern IQ tests measure? • Are IQ tests valid? (Do they measure what they are intended to measure?) The "g" factor Spearman Logical s Mechanical s g Arithmetical s Spatial s What does "g" determine? • • • • • • Educational achievement Occupation Income level Probability of divorce Health Longevity What determines "g"? • Which of the following factors do you think are associated with schoolaged children's performance on standardized test scores? – The child has highly educated parents – The child's family is intact – The child's parents have high socioeconomic status – The child's parents recently moved to a better neighborhood – The child's mother was thirty or older at the time of her first child's birth – The child's mother didn't work between birth and kindergarten – The child had low birthrate – The child attended Head Start – The child's parents speak English in the home – The child's parents regularly take him to museums – The child is adopted – The child is regularly spanked – The child's parents are involved in the PTA – The child frequently watches television – The child has many books in his home – The child's parents read to him nearly every day • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The child has highly educated parents The child's family is intact The child's parents have high socioeconomic status The child's parents recently moved to a better neighborhood The child's mother was thirty or older at the time of her first child's birth The child had low birthweight The child attended Head Start The child's parents speak English in the home The child's parents regularly take him to museums The child is adopted The child is regularly spanked The child's parents are involved in the PTA The child frequently watches television The child has many books in his home The child's parents read to him nearly every day What determines "g"? • Genetics? • Environment? • Genetics + environment (education + nutrition + culture + family + brain exercise…) • But how great is the role of genetics? Genetic influences on intelligence Monozygotic (identical) twins Dizygotic (franternal) twins Are there racial differences in intelligence? • Reasons to consider the question: – – – – – Genetics do affect intelligence Races differ genetically, though not by much Reliable group differences have been found What causes group differences? It is a testable question Are there racial differences in intelligence? Reliable differences have been found on IQ scores between racial groups. In America today: Average IQ score Blacks 85 Hispanics 94 Whites 100 Asians 106 Ashkenazi Jews 109 [keep in mind that these scores are averages for entire population -some Blacks score higher than some Asians on IQ tests] Herrnstein & Murray (1994): "The Bell Curve" Evidence from large group of white subjects, followed for 10 years high IQ scores predicted getting into a good college, success in college, getting a good job, and success at the job low IQ scores predicted having illegitimate children, going on welfare, and committing a crime Pointed out 2 things we have already noted: Intelligence is heritable There are differences in IQ between racial groups Conclusion: racial differences in IQ are due genetic differences and that these genetic differences explain behavioral differences between races. Possible explanations for observed racial differences in IQ scores 1. Blacks are genetically predisposed to have lower IQ BUT within-group differences do not explain between group genetic effects Variation within group Variation within group Poor soil Fertile soil Differences between groups Possible explanations for observed race differences in IQ scores 1. Blacks are genetically predisposed to have lower IQ 2. Blacks & whites are raised in different environments (physical & psychological) When blacks & whites matched for socioeconomic factors, IQ differences diminish But could matching ever be complete? Claude Steele Stanford University "Stereotype threat": fear of doing something that would inadvertently confirm a negative stereotype Experiment: IQ-matched Black & white subjects take difficult test Condition A Told nothing Condition B Told no race differences Blacks do relatively poorly No differences between Blacks & Whites Possible explanations for observed race differences in IQ scores 1. Blacks are genetically predisposed to have lower IQ 2. Blacks & whites are raised in different environments (physical & psychological) 3. Tests are racially biased Gosling's Intelligence Test (GIT) 1. In a game of cricket, David scored all of his 22 runs from sixes and boundaries. He got one six. How many boundaries did he score? 2. Who designed St. Paul's cathedral in London? 3. What is the official address of the British Prime Minister? 4. Red is to the Central Line as is to the Northern Line 5. Neil Kinnock was to Margaret Thatcher as is to Tony Blair. 6. In David's second innings he had to run all 5 of his runs. How many yards did he run? 7. What kind of programs would you expect to hear on BBC radio 3? 8. David Gower was to cricket as Will Carling was to ? 9. Andrew is to Scotland as is to Wales 10. If Ophelia traveled at the speed limit on a motorway for two hours, how many miles will she have traveled? Possible explanations for observed race differences in IQ scores 1. Blacks are genetically predisposed to have lower IQ 2. Blacks & whites are raised in different environments (physical & psychological) 3. Tests are racially biased In terms of common IQ tests, evidence for bias is mixed – most modern tests are not biased, though historically, many tests have been Conclusions: Genetic factors clearly play a role in people's intelligence, but there is no clear evidence that genetic factors account for observed IQ differences in Black & White Americans Genetic Relatedness and IQ Correlation Text Text Text

Many children appeared in the Our Gang comedy shorts during the years (1922-1944) the films were made. Only a handful went on to success as child actors in feature films, and even fewer forged successful adult careers. One of those who did was Robert Blake. Born Michael Gubitosi, Blake wasn't a part of the Our Gang cast in its early 30s heyday at the Hal Roach Studios, but only joined after the series moved to MGM. From 1939 until the series ended, Blake appeared in 40 Our Gang comedies, most of that time billed as "Mickey Gubitosi." With his sweet, wistful face, Mickey soon became a star of the series, though Leonard Maltin in his book, Selected Short Subjects, complains that he "delivered every line with a whine in his voice." In the early 1940s, he began to use Bobby Blake as his professional name, although he continued to use Mickey Gubitosi in the Our Gang films for several years, until he became better known as Bobby Blake.
One of the first features in which he appeared under the name Bobby Blake was Mokey (1942), a B-movie programmer produced by J. Walter Ruben, who was the producer of the Maisie B-movie series. Third-billed after young newcomers Dan Dailey (billed as "Dan Dailey, Jr.") and Donna Reed, Blake plays the title character, an eight-year old whose mother has died and whose father re-marries. Mokey is a mischievous brat who makes his new stepmother's life hell before the expected happy ending. Featured in the film as Mokey's playmate is Our Gang co-star William "Buckwheat" Thomas. Playing the warm-hearted family maid is Etta McDaniel, sister of Hattie McDaniel.
Mokey was the first film in which Dailey and Reed received top billing, as Mokey's mostly absent father and new stepmother. Iowa native Reed had been discovered when she was chosen Campus Queen at Los Angeles City College, and signed to a contract by MGM in 1941. As a young contract player, she had supporting roles in the studio's Thin Man, Andy Hardy, and Dr. Kildare series during her first year at the studio. Dailey, a vaudeville and Broadway hoofer, had been signed by MGM in 1939, and had been playing supporting roles, mostly as thugs. Dailey's greatest success would come as a song and dance man, after he returned from serving in World War II and signed with 20th Century Fox. Reed, typecast as a good girl, would also have to leave MGM to find stardom. She signed with Columbia and earned a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award playing a prostitute in From Here to Eternity (1953). But she returned to her good-girl roots when she became one of the first movie stars to have a hit television series, playing the perfect wife of a doctor in The Donna Reed Show (1958-66).
Blake's path to stardom was more tumultuous. After the Our Gang comedies ended in the mid-40s, Blake segued right into the role of the Indian boy Little Beaver in Republic's Red Ryder series. He also had roles in features such as Humoresque (1946) and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948). But he later remembered his childhood as miserable, and claimed his alcoholic parents abused him. After serving in the military in the 1950s, he tried to resuscitate his career, but in spite of some excellent performances he didn't achieve stardom. He struggled with drug problems, overcame them, and received acclaim for his portrayal of murderer Perry Smith in the film version of Truman Capote's true crime story, In Cold Blood (1967). Blake followed that with another strong performance, in Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here (1969), but neither film was a hit at the box office. In spite of a popular television series, Baretta (1975-78), and other well-received work, Blake's private life has continued to be turbulent over the past three decades. The murder of his wife, Bonnie Lee Bakley in 2001, and Blake's subsequent trial and acquittal in her death have kept him in the public eye, but he has been unable to find work as an actor, and his career appears to be over.

By default all data for a keyspace, and it's CFs, are spread out over all nodes in the cluster. If you want to see which endpoints have data for a particular key there is an operation on the o.a.c.db.StorageService MBean you can use via JConsole. Some (out of date) docs here may help http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/JmxInterface#org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.Operations.getNaturalEndpoints Lots of articles here http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ArticlesAndPresentations Aaron On 15 Apr 2011, at 04:32, tinhuty he wrote: > I just started 5 nodes in a cluster and set a replica factor of 3 on a keyspace ks.

text: I prefer larger cigars and enjoy the character change throughout the smoke. I like mild to medium flavor and these fit the bill. I get lots of compliments on the aroma from non-smokers weird huh . Most times when approached by a non-smoker who I don t know I brace myself expecting a earful of complaining even when in in a area where smoking is allowed this rarely happens 95% of the time they pay a compliment. Funny Story - Was sitting in front row in a small night club watching Savoy Brown perform while smoking one of these when I was approached by the Bass player,s girlfriend Bass player was huge I thought uh oh. She asked what I was smoking that her bass player boyfriend could smell it on stage and loved the smell. I gave her the ring, Not sure that Kim Simmonds felt the same way about the smoke but the bass player couldn t wait to try one. Only had one so I could not offer him one. On rare occasion I receive a box where the draw and construction is off a bit but instances where this has happened are few

@knaightLocale: Western Massachusetts
We haven't been able to find much info on the net about ultralight backpacking with a family, so my wife and I decided to start a blog about the very subject and just kind of learn as we go.
We finally got around to posting a trip report about an awesome and easy trip we took in April when she was six months pregnant. Over three days, we hiked a leisurely 9 miles in the Berkshires on the AT. Had some great views and stayed at our favorite shelter to date. Best of all, we found a hike that's perfect for families and we intend to revisit it regularly.
Hopefully we'll be posting a lot more now that our son Evan is born!
By the way, if anyone does know of some good sources for ultralight backpacking with kids, please point us toward them! Aside from a few great threads on this site, I haven't seen much.

We don't have a whole lot of how-to stuff up on our blog/site at this point (more essays and trip reports), but my family does similar things. Just got back from a month-long arctic trek with our 19 month old and at 5-6 months pregnant. http://www.groundtruthtrekking.org/blog/
With a packraft, and 9 days food, and being photo geeks, the final number doesn't end up being ultralight, but the lightness of the actual gear is very important!
I'll put this comment on your blog as well.

If he purchased it in pennsauken by law he only has to hold it for 3 days reguardless if it gets shipped over to philly. After 3 days he can do what he wants with it. Also without a police report that states you are pressing charges on the individual who sold it, he doesnt have to do a thing.

JavaFX2 database connection and stratup project
Jan 11, 2013 9:09 AM
Hi guys,
i started using Netbeans IDE a couple of mounths ago and i found this IDE fantastic for application desktop.
Usually,I have more experience in embedded systems and MPLAB IDE.
My project consist in the following :
-Realizing a GUI (or UI) application that accesses mySQL databse and allows datamanaging (Consulting, reading,updating, deleting....sort of CRUD application).
I have followed many netbeans tutorials and now i would like some advise about how to startup this project.
My client wants a nice and shapebable enhanced and personalize GUI (thats why i m thinking of using JavaFX builder).
My issue is how i can acces my database from my FXml UI .... with netbeans IDE GUI, its quite simple with the tutorials... but the GUI enhancing doesn t exist like with javaFX Scene builder....
I followed oracle javaFX " isuueTracking" tutorial that allows to work swithing between netbeans IDE and JavaFX scene builder....
Can you guys give me some guidelines of how i should strart up this project. I also though in realizing Netbeans platform tutorial in order to avoid "Spaguetti coding" and think more in the future maintenance of my application.
-Shall i emphasize more in netbeans platform for modular development ( do all the tutorials and understand the principal API...)? Should i start from here?
NExt step woul be like developping my framework (with JavaFX Scene builder)
And finally do my database connection and develop the classes for viewing-updating-editing-deleting....
Thanks in advance and sorry if i miss-understood some concepts.
If you know in tutorial for this purpose .... dont hesitate.
I have the same question

in response to
First, learn Java, then learn JDBC or JPA.
What you ask is pretty easy really, if you've followed these two steps. This has very little to do with JavaFX as well.
You can find some nice tutorials here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

In the home of an underpaid friend of Holy Mother Church, a blog was born. Being the granola loving Catholic-Worker pacifist type, the blog was born peacefully in a large water tub without drugs. Those attendants stood around saying novenas to St. Jude and sharing about repurposed organic tomato soup from the co-op dumpster. The mother took a big swig of wine and pushed the little one out. The baby's name is I.C.
The Catholic Defense League reacted strongly to the birth announcement of I.C., stating that although the culture of life should be the first value of society, this blog is further evidence of the relativism. "Objective truth is not served by this 'I'm a blogger, you're a blogger' plethora of perspectives," they argued. "These are indeed Christ's 'signs of the times,' and we're reading them, folks. We plan a boycott. Stay tuned."
Catholics for a Free Choice sputtered and said that "...while it is Ironic Catholic's choice to blog humorous and obviously fake stories, clearly humor is the last thing we need when the first issue is to engage in illogical theological arguments that irritate the Bishops and abandon the Church's call to help the vulnerable." They then went off to ponder if creating a new name for themselves would help. The front runner was "Catholics for Living Contradictions."
The National Catholic Reporter ran a short birth announcement of I.C., noting that Rome was not pleased, a majority of American Catholics supported I.C., and ended the piece on a note of despair. Oh wait, that was the formula of every other article in the issue. I.C.'s mom just gave birth and is confused with the sleep deprivation of it all.
I.C., although young, responded to the comments with characteristic graciousness. "Thank you for the attention, but I come to bring humor, not a sword," she said. "Peace with be you. Mom, who said that again?"
I.C. is very young but growing every day. She asks for your patience and prayers.
--I.C.'s mom
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you. -- Oscar Wilde

Meryl Streep has revealed that she feared her career would come to an end when she will turn 40 as she was convinced that directors had no use for women past "childbearing age".
The 62-year-old actress confesses that she entered the 1990s with concern that she will get few film projects and that too far between.
"I remember turning to my husband and saying, 'Well, what should we do? Because it's over.'" Contactmusic quoted her as telling Vogue magazine.
Streep's fears were momentarily realized when she received three consecutive scripts to play a witch, forcing her to come to terms with the pitfalls of ageing.
"Once women passed childbearing age they could only be seen as grotesque on some level.
"Ironically, the actress is still one of the most sought-after stars in Hollywood but she admits it's no coincidence most of her roles - like those in The Devil Wears Prada, Mamma Mia!, Julie and Julia and It's Complicated - involve Streep playing "women whose usefulness had passed," she added.

This group is commonly referred to as the Broader Group.
Please note: each energy supplier participating in the Warm Home Discount Scheme in 2016 will have different eligibility criteria.

If you do not have a Smart Meter and are a pre-payment customer, we will send you a voucher that you can redeem at any Paypoint outlet.
If you are a billing customer, we will deduct the payment from your monthly/quarterly bill.
Last year we received feedback from our customers that the rebate would have been more helpful to them if they were spread across the winter period and where available, provided on both Electricity and Gas smart meters.
We have listened to the feedback and have decided to stage the payments for customers with Smart Meters, to ensure our customers get the discount when they need it most.
The Warm Home Discount Scheme is based on a first come, first serve basis that has a limited number of application spaces. If you have received a rejection letter, this does not mean you are not eligible for the rebate but does mean that your application has fallen outside of the quota.
For Dual Fuel customers, the payment method and dates are:
|25 November
|25 November
|20 December
|4 January
|20 January
For Electric only customers, the payment method and dates are:
|25 November
|20 December
|4 January
|20 January
If you are a Dual Fuel customer, you will receive £40 to each of your meters on the 25th November and then three separate payments of £20 to your Gas in December and January.
If you are an Electric only customer, you will receive £80 to your electric meter on the 20th November and then three separate payments of £20 to your meter in December and January.
We will send all of our Prepayment customers who do not have Smart Meters energy vouchers that can be redeemed at any PayPoint outlet in conjunction with your top up device. Please note if you have smart meters installed but we are unable to issue the Warm Home Discount rebate to your meters automatically, you will receive an energy voucher for the same value.
If you pay via monthly or quarterly bills, your discount will be added to your agreement and will show as an item of credit on the next bill you receive after the discount has been issued.
In the past, energy suppliers had no choice but to apply your rebate to your electricity bill or meter. If you don't use electricity as the main source to heat your home, this payment may not have helped you as much as it was intended to. Electricity is about three times the price of gas per kWh (using standard rates) so with an efficient modern condensing boiler, gas is the cheapest fuel to heat your home. However, if you do not use gas as the main heating source you may prefer to have all of your payments to go on to your electricity meter, if you would like to request this you should email firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, full address and customer reference number to confirm how you would like the rebate to be issued.
Please note we are unable to change the dates or the amounts you will receive as this is an automated process.
Yes, Utilita will be running the Warm Home Discount scheme again next year, for details on next year's scheme please keep an eye on our website and social media pages.
Core: If you are moving and have received some of your payment, we will send the remaining balance as vouchers. Please ensure you provide us with your change of tenancy details as soon as possible to make sure we can provide the remainder of your discount to you in a timely fashion.
If you move to property supplied by Utilita and it has a Smart Meter, we will be able to transfer the payment to your new meters.
Broader: If you are moving and have received some of your payment, we will send the remaining balance as vouchers. Please ensure you provide us with your change of tenancy details as soon as possible to make sure we can provide the remainder of your discount to you in a timely fashion.
If you move to property supplied by Utilita and it has a Smart Meter, we will be able to transfer the payment to your new meters.
If you have not received any of your payment when you move out of your property unfortunately you will no longer be eligible to receive the warm home discount rebate. The broader element of the scheme requires at least a live electricity supply with Utilita to remain eligible to receive the payment.
Visit our FAQ page to find out more.FAQs

Card Tips:Purple Trapezist
15,312pages onAdd New Page
this wiki
this wiki
- This unit is perfect in a Pale Moon deck, which can quickly get a lot of cards in the soul, and can generate great hand advantage via the draw triggers.
- Great choices to send to the soul: Rainbow Magician or Spiral Master, Crimson Beast Tamer (if you're using a deck based around it), Barking Manticore, Golden Beast Tamer or Dusk Illusionist, Robert (if you've already filled your vanguard slot) and others.
- Great choices to retrieve from the soul: Crimson Beast Tamer or Turquoise Beast Tamer (if you already have another Crimson Beast Tamer in the soul), Nightmare Doll, Alice, Mirror Demon and Midnight Bunny (to create a soul-swapping field), Skull Juggler to further increase your soul, and Barking Cerberus for a solid attacker and defender.
- This Unit can be called with Miracle of Luna Square, Clifford, Nightmare Doll, Alice, Mirror Demon and Midnight Bunny. Then, you can use its own effect to further increase your field in mid-battle. Thus, it is advisable to get one or more Trapezists in the soul as early as possible, perhaps using another Trapezist's effect.
- Another unique combination you can do is in a Juggler deck. When you have Elephant Juggler and you play this card, you can re-call cards like Nitro Juggler and Skull Juggler to Soulcharge five times with two called units. You Soulcharge 2 for calling a Juggler unit. Then play Trapezist and Soul Charge 1 again. Then activate Trapezists effect to send a Juggler to the Soul and re-call it for ANOTHER 2 Soul Charge. Using this combination, its possible to recycle Juggler card effects several times over for massive soul charging with cheep hand advantage.
- An ideal target for this skill is Peek-a-boo . Use Peek-a-boo's Soul Blast to call him from your soul then use this cards skill to send Peek-a-boo back to the soul in return for a different card, activating the skill without losing any cards in your hand besides this card.

PURPOSE: Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) and critical illnesses pose a unique challenge in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU). While recommendations regarding management strategies have been addressed in the literature, there is no published data regarding predisposing risk factors associated with MICU admission and poor outcome. Our primary goal is to identify pre admission patient variables that may be associated with the primary outcome of inpatient mortality for PH patients who are admitted to the MICU.
METHODS: Using ICD 9 codes, we retrospectively identified patients with PH not due to left heart disease and at least a 1 day stay in the MICU during the time period 2002-2008. Using a detailed chart review we abstracted data on age, gender, type of PH, and severity of PH. Severity of PH was defined by the World Health Organization functional classification system. Associations between variables were analyzed using the chi-square test.
RESULTS: Forty-three charts for patients with known pulmonary hypertension and a MICU admission were analyzed. Of these patients, 74% were women, and mean age at admission was 52.9 years. Average length of stay in the ICU was 3.8 days and hospital stay was 9.3 days. Sixty-five percent were identified as having Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, 12% as PH associated with underlying lung diseases, 5% as PH due to thrombotic or embolic disease and in 14% cause was not identified. Of the 43 PH patients admitted to the MICU, there was a 25.6% hospital mortality rate. Mortality did not correlate with gender (p =0.34), type of pulmonary hypertension (p =0.73), or severity of PH ( p=0.43).
CONCLUSION: Based on our patient data set, mortality is not significantly associated with gender, type or severity of PH for patients with PH who are admitted to the MICU. This study is limited by being retrospective and single site.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Continued research is necessary to identify risk factors that may predispose PH patients to a poor MICU outcome.

Chelsea academy chief Neil Bath feels Sam Hutchison can be a long-term Blues player.
The young defender made a stunning comeback last season, having previously retired from the game due to persistent injury.
"Not so long ago we were working out a next career path for Hutch and he was starting university, starting coaching badges, getting some mentoring work in sports science and just gradually doing a small bit of fitness work that he was able to do," Bath told chelseafc.com.
"To see him start the last league game of the season against Blackburn is a fantastic story and everyone is so pleased for him because he is such a good, honest, Chelsea lad. Hopefully now he is going to have a long career in the game, and hopefully at Chelsea. He is back in the first team picture and I believe good enough to stay there."

Longtime ESPN announcer John Saunders dies, reports say
John Saunders, a longtime sports announcer for ESPN and ABC, died Wednesday, according to a report from the sports network.
Saunders, 61, hosted on-air programs and did play-by-play announcing on ESPN for nearly 30 years, according to the report.
"His wide range of accomplishments across numerous sports and championship events is among the most impressive this industry has ever seen," said ESPN president John Skipper. "More importantly, John was a beloved and devoted family man who cared deeply about people and causes, as evidenced by his long-standing efforts as a passionate board member for The V Foundation for Cancer Research."
According to ESPN, Saunders joined the network in 1986 as an anchor of the channel's iconic recap show "SportsCenter."
Saunders is survived by his wife and two daughters, according to ESPN.

Sleeping Kari
Chapter 1: A Litte Princess
By: Koumiko
Once upon a time, in the Realm of the Crests, there was a Kingdom called the Celestial Kingdom. The Kingdom was ruled justly and peacefully by a King and Queen who longed for a child. One day, their wish came true and a princess was born. They named her Hikari Yagami. On her Christening celebration, the whole Kingdom was invited to view the princess and give her gifts. Three good fairies were also invited, who bestowed the Princess with their gifts.
"I give the princess the gift of beauty of mind and body, to be fit to rule a kingdom, in the most sincere of ways." The first fairy, Mimi Tachikawa spoke, waving her green wand over the pink cradle. An illusion of a green raindrop, the symbol of sincerity, floated over the cradle, spinning slowly. It then lowered into the cradle, Hikari's small hands reaching for it. The next fairy then stepped forward, her red wand already held out.
"I give her the gift of song and grace, with the power to mend wounded souls, and the courage to love." This fairy was called Sora Takenouchi. She crept closer to the cradle, and held Hikari's hand, smiling, as she pointed her wand at the little princess. Just as Mimi's gift, another illusion, this time of a red heart, floated towards the child, disappearing as it was touched by Hikari's hands into her very soul.
There was another fairy other than the three fairies. This fairy, the fourth, was not invited to the Christening since she was known to have a temper and gave evil gifts. Unfortunately, that fourth fairy discovered of the Christening from gossip, and grew angry with the King and Queen for not receiving an invite. In a flash of lightning that struck near the cradle, the evil fairy appeared, in a rage. She arrived in her black cloak swirling around her. Her face was mostly covered except for her eyes, which was looking at Hikari slyly.
"Why hello, little one." The fairy said. "I'm your auntie Jun Motomiya. And I also have a gift for you. Fancy that – I do not get invited, but I still adore you so much that I still would give you a cur – I mean, present." She looked at the King and Queen, who watched her carefully. The Queen was near the cradle, ready to protect the child if the fairy did anything.
"Lady Jun Motomiya, I had no idea of your existence. Please forgive us for not inviting you. Please... have a seat and enjoy the party as well as everyone else." The King spoke, trying to sound calm and in control.
"It's too late for that, daddy." Jun spat, facing the cradle once again. She raised her hand from under her cloak and it revealed a black wand with a skull for a tip. The guests gasped. The eyes of the skull glowed an eerie green. "This princess may grow into a fine young lady with beauty and talent and grace, but to make up for her parents' mistake, she will prick her finger on the thorn of a red rose on her sixteenth birthday, and die!" Green smoke swirled around the cradle and Hikari started to cry.
"NO!" The Queen yelled as she grabbed her daughter and cradled her in her arms protectively. Jun laughed wildly, and in the green smoke, she vanished. The guests had become silent and only the Queen's sobs could be heard echoing in the hall. They all had forgotten about the third fairy. She was a child fairy still, and she looked at the Queen with her violet eyes.
"Your highness, I still haven't given my gift." She spoke quietly, consoling the Queen. "My name is Miyako Inoue, and although I cannot undo my senior's spell, I can make it less terrible." She cleared her throat. The Queen looked at her expectantly. "I give her this: When the princess pricks her finger on the thorn, instead of death she will sleep and wait as long as forever until her true love's first kiss." The fairy touched her blue wand on the princess's forehead and a white star glowed for a moment, then vanished.
The whole celebration sighed with relief at this, but still, the King and Queen commanded that every rose be destroyed. Any who possessed a rose, especially a red one, would be punished. Amidst the bustle of the rose exodus in the Kingdom, the King and Queen gave their only child and daughter to the fairies, for her to grow away from the Kingdom and hopefully hide her from Jun. Unfortunately, the fairies knew that there was no way to stop a fairy's curse. They could only wait until that time.
Well, its still kind of similar to the actual Sleeping Beauty. But I hope to change it on the next chapter! See you then!
xoxo , Koumiko

SDCC '10 | Abin Sur corpse at the Warner Bros. booth
in Comic News Comment
With the Green Lantern film in production and a panel in San Diego yesterday to promote it, Warner Bros. also brought out the dead to get fans excited. Abin Sur might not have survived the crash that brought him to Earth, but that doesn't mean he has to miss Comic-Con. Take a look at pictures of Hal Jordan's predecessor after the jump.
