Guido Mazzoni (poet)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guido Mazzoni (1859-1943) was an Italian poet.
He was born at Florence, and educated at Pisa and Bologna. In 1887 he became professor of Italian at Padua, and in 1894 at Florence, where he remained until retirement in 1934. He was much influenced by Carducci, and became prominent both as prolific and well-read critic and as a poet of individual distinction.
In 1910 he was elected a senator. In 1915 his son Carlo was taken prisoner by Austrian forces; the father volunteered for combat duty in exchange, and participated in combat along the Isonzo River.
His chief volumes of verse are Versi (1880), Nuove poesie (1886), Poesie (1891), Voci della vita (1893).

I always called these wolf spiders, not certain if that is correct? Carrying an egg sack - I believe when the spiderlings hatch they also cling to the parent in a similar formation. I've never seen this though.
Other observations of Wolf Spider (Lycosidae)
Wolf spiders
Yes, this is one of the wolf spiders; there are quite a few similar species. The mother will carry the spiderlings around on her back for a while after they hatch out - I always enjoy seeing them doing this! Keep your eye out and I'm sure you'll see some doing this soon enough.
Perhaps you could add a revised ID with the scientific name 'Lycosidae' so that your observation can be compared more easily to others :)
Scientific name
Ah yes, thanks Rosie!
I'll keep an eye out. My garden is chock full of these guys, but they are so fast!

So why did you…?
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters. That is all. Please allow me to wallow in despair.
Warning: This fic contains shonen-ai or in other terms, yaoi. Read at your own risk.
Authoress' Note: I wrote this as a present for a friend named Rami. Rami-chan, this is for your over active imagination and your unnatural obsession with my younger brother/younger cousin. And for my infatuation with your arch nemesis. And your wife. Hello, Yora, sweetie! I know that you are a true Kai… Ka... K… sorry, Hun, can't say it. A You know who and Sora fan. But you'll get over it of course. .
Riku sat at his island, in his usual spot on the Paopu Tree. The sea wind blew his elegant shoulder-length silver hair in his face as he stared out at the setting sun sinking into the ocean. How long had it been since he sat here? How long had he missed the sea breeze and the cries of the gulls? How long had he missed his friends? He thought back to the moment when he and Sora had finally been reunited.
"It's Riku." Sora whispered, sliding to the floor. He clutched Riku's hand in two of his own as if he was ensuring that Riku wouldn't run from him again. "Riku's here… I looked for you." Riku could see the tears rolling down his face. His best friend was crying over him. The last time he had made Sora cry was seven years ago when he had told him that there was no Santa Claus.
"Come one, Sora. You've got to pull it together." He said, trying his best to calm his friend. Sora gripped his hand tighter and tears fell faster.
"I looked everywhere for you." He insisted. Riku wanted to smile at his best friend's persistence.
"I didn't want to be found." The currently tan-skinned, white-haired man said.
End Flashback
Riku said as he stared over the water. He had told Sora to go, to take care of Kairi. Why didn't he listen? Wasn't he so in love with her that it didn't matter if he was there or not? Then they could have started with a clean slate, without him getting in the way. He had seen Sora in the Secret Place, the place that THEY had found together when they were children, running his hands over a picture of him and Kairi obviously sharing a Paopu fruit (You have no idea how much this is killing me to write this. I'm so against this crap). That meant something didn't it. Riku felt a presence behind him. Said presence jumped over the tree and landed on the other side.
"Hey, Riku." Sora said, happily. A closer look at his best friend told him that Riku had been deep in thought. "What are you thinking about?" Riku looked at him.
"You." He replied solemnly. Sora laughed nervously. "About why you didn't listen to anything I told you the first time we closed Kingdom Hearts." Sora now looked puzzled.
"What are you talking about?" He asked, sitting next to Riku on the tree. Riku turned to face the ocean again.
"I told you to go take care of Kairi. Instead of doing that you went and looked for me. And you ended up getting yourself into more trouble that I had to bail you out of. Why didn't you listen to me? You love her don't you? You guys could've started over, without me getting involved and trying to outdo you. I just don't understand." Sora laughed.
"You're my best friend, Riku. I'm not going to abandon you just because you gave me a dumbass order. I wouldn't just leave you in the dark alone. Remember, I was all willing to stay with you in the darkness." He said lightly. Riku was getting annoyed.
"But it doesn't make sense. I saw the drawings in the cave! Both times! First when it was you giving Kairi the Paopu and then the one of her returning it! Why bring me back when you guys already had this beautiful romance going?" The silver-haired teen said angrily. Sora sighed sadly and gave Riku a slight smile. He hopped of the tree and started toward the bride.
"I suggest you go back and have another look at the drawing." Riku could barely contain his anger. He leapt off the tree and ran after Sora. He grabbed the younger male by the arm and pulled violently. Sora gave a screech as he fell against Riku's chest. Before Riku could realize what he was doing, he was roughly shoving his lips against Sora's. The smaller boy gasped and gave Riku room to invade his mouth. Sora went slack in his best friend's arms while his mouth was ruthlessly plundered. When Riku pulled away, Sora's lips were swollen and bleeding from the bites he had administered. The younger teen had his eyes squeezed shut. Riku let go of him and he fell ungracefully to the ground. Sora stared up at his friend with wide eyes.
"Sor…Sora! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that! I don't know what came over me. I'm so sorry." Riku stammered. Sora smirked.
"Well, I thought that you would never get it." He held out his hand so that Riku could help him up. Riku grabbed his and pulled Sora to his feet. He received a slap to the back of the head. "That drawing wasn't of Kairi, idiot! It was of YOU! I was giving the Paopu to YOU!" Riku looked stunned. Him? Sora wanted to share a Paopu with HIM? Not Kairi but him Riku, a guy, his best friend, his betrayer? Sora embraced Riku. "You idiot. You didn't realize it. I cried for you not Kairi. I left her for you because I love you. I thought that you knew that." Riku wrapped his arms around Sora. "I just didn't expect you to express your feelings so violently."
"I'm sorry, Sora. I should have realized it. I'm such a fool. I didn't realize that there was someone who loved me no matter what." He whispered into Sora's hair. "Hey, Sora?"
"What?" Sora mumbled.
"Promise to be my light? So that I won't fall into darkness again." Riku asked. Sora looked up, his sapphire blue eyes shining brightly.
"I promise. Promise to never let you leave me again?" He retorted. Riku laughed.
A/N: Yeah, it's short but sweet and fluffy. Don't really expect more like this from me. I'm more of an angsty romance person. Please read my other story "Children of God and Satan." And maybe if you give me lots of nice reviews for this, I'll consider writing more like this. And say happy anniversary to Rami-chan. It's her first anniversary of stalking my cousin! I didn't know that she'd last this long. And I probably will be writing a fic for my friend, Sorastalker. A nice Demyxwhomevershechooses fic. Anyone but Ansem the Wise, y'know! BYEZ!

Long gone are the days when you need to hold your meetings at a noisy Starbucks or feel isolated while working at home. Co-working companies like Village Workspaces, have emerged over the past few years to help entrepreneurs and growing startups to expand their social network and immerse themselves in an environment with like-minded businesses.
According to the Harvard Business Review, "Each co-working space has its own vibe, and the managers of each space go to great lengths to cultivate a unique experience that meets the needs of their respective members". Here at Village Workspaces, our vibe is warm and dynamic. Our managers go above and beyond to ensure our co-working members feel part of a thriving, creative, and passionate community.
Village Workspaces asked our co-working members what they think are the benefits of coworking and these were the 4 most common responses:
If you're a new startup, freelancer, or entrepreneur, the thought of committing to a year contract for a work space may seem daunting. However, at Village Workspaces, we offer low rent without the commitment. For example, having an office space or coworking membership at the Village Workspaces, gives you the freedom of a month to month contract. As a Villager, you have access to large conference rooms, fully furnished offices, complimentary wifi, coffee, snacks and beer. You ultimately end up saving money and are able to invest more into your business!
Working at home can get old and your creativity can suffer. Fortunately, by working at a coworking space, you are constantly surrounded by others who strive to make their business successful and who can inspire and motivate you to do the same. Many of our villagers collaborate on different projects and use each other's skills for business needs.
Are you easily distracted while working at home? Many people who use coworking spaces feel they enhance their effectiveness more than when they work from home. You can feel the fast paced energy in our office space in Santa Monica, which is often contagious. Coworkers feel like they work harder and faster in this energetic environment.
By working with and around other inspired and creative entrepreneurs, you are able to build connections, collaborate and absorb new ideas from different types of businesses . "Being a part of a coworking workspace has given us a sense of collaboration we wouldn't have found had we decided on a stand alone space", says Alana Littler, a Village Workspaces member. Village Workspaces will host events and happy hours every other week to keep the workspace fun and lighthearted while encouraging collaboration and building new friendships.
Coworking, especially at Village Workspaces, can be a great alternative to coffee shops or working from home. The benefits are enormous and you are able to become inspired and network while saving money. Please contact us at email@example.com for more information on how to become a coworker at either our Santa Monica or West LA location.

Jake Livermore had opened the scoring against his old club in the first 10 minutes in a poor first half for Spurs but Harry Kane tapped in an equaliser before the Dane's strike
Jake Livermore put a 25-yard screamer past his former side within the first 10 minutes at the KC Stadium and Spurs would have been even further behind at half-time were it not for vital saves from Hugo Lloris.
But increased pressure in the second half - thanks in part to the Tigers being put a man down when Gaston Ramirez was ejected for a petulant outburst towards Jan Vertonghen - resulted in Harry Kane tapping in an equaliser on the hour.
And just as it seemed that the match was drifting away from Mauricio Pochettino's side, Eriksen popped up with a low finish past Allan McGregor to steal the points.
Tottenham had been beaten by Stoke City before the international break and their manager got the response for which he was looking, while Hull only have two victories to their name in the top flight this term.
Fit-again defender Michael Dawson returned to face his former club as one of six changes to the Hull side who lost at Burnley, with McGregor, Ramirez, Andrew Robertson, Hatem Ben Arfa and Nikica Jelavic also starting.
Pochettino also made six changes, as Eric Dier, Vertonghen, Ben Davies, Mousa Dembele, Erik Lamela and Roberto Soldado came into the side. Captain Younes Kaboul and striker Emmanuel Adebayor were not involved.
Hull had failed to score in their last three games but were in front after only eight minutes when Livermore returned to haunt Tottenham. The midfielder conceded in the build-up that it would be strange to face his former club and he looked unsure how to react after letting fly with a right-footed strike that found the far corner of the net from 20 yards out.
Davies then spared stand-in captain Lloris's blushes when he blocked Ramirez's effort after the France goalkeeper had flapped at a free kick 19 minutes in.
The Tottenham star showed his class with a fine reflex save down to his left to deny Robbie Brady before Ben Arfa blazed a shot over the crossbar after Lloris had palmed Ramirez's left-footed strike into his path.
McGregor was called into action at the other end eight minutes before half-time, palming away Lamela's well-struck shot following a swift break, and Hull breathed a sigh of relief when Eriksen flashed a dangerous ball across the face of the goal but nobody was on the end of it.
Pochettino replaced Dier, who had been booked in the first half, with Vlad Chiriches at the break and Tottenham's chances of getting back into the game were enhanced when Ramirez was dismissed five minutes into the second half.
Referee Craig Pawson gave the Uruguayan his marching orders after his assistant spotted an off-the-ball incident between him and Vertonghen.
Hull boss Bruce was furious with the decision and he was left even more frustrated when Tottenham equalised after 61 minutes. Kane was on hand to turn the ball into an empty net after Eriksen's sublime free kick had struck the woodwork.
Kane ought to have put the visitors in front when substitute Aaron Lennon picked him out with a precise cross but the striker somehow headed wide from close range and Lamela blazed a shot over the crossbar after cutting in from the left as Tottenham dominated.
But Eriksen won it in the final minute as he made space for himself and unleashed a right-footed strike which found the far corner of the net.

Prince Fielder was struggling to produce even before his recent injury.
If Prince Fielder's herniated disk in his neck costs him the rest of the season, it would be a surprise turn for a player who had been among the most durable in baseball.
Most Times Using Disabled List
This Season
Since his first full season in 2006, Fielder has missed a total of 13 games over a span of eight seasons. His 1,283 games played during that stretch were more than any other player in baseball.
The slugging first baseman has already missed five games this season, matching the most he's missed in a single season in 2006 with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Fielder's absence is just the latest in a long line of maladies that have afflicted the Texas Rangers. They have used the disabled list 17 times already this season, four more than the next closest team, the Cincinnati Reds.
Signs of decline
Even before his injury, Fielder had been struggling to replicate the power numbers that he had in the past. After posting a .981 OPS in his last season with the Brewers in 2011, his OPS has decreased in each of the last 3 seasons, bottoming out at .720 so far this season.
Due to the fact that Fielder doesn't contribute much on defense or the basepaths, his diminished hitting has resulted in -0.3 wins above replacement this season, making him one of the least productive first basemen in baseball.
Power outage
Back in 2011, 22 percent of Fielder's fly balls ended up as home runs. That number dropped to 16 percent in 2012, then 13 percent last season. Through 42 games this season, only eight percent of his fly balls are turning into home runs. This season his average fly ball distance is just 272 feet – that ranks outside the top 100 in baseball.
Opposing teams have taken notice. Fielder is seeing more pitches in the strike zone and more fastballs than he had previously in his career. Although he seems to be seeing no shortage of hittable pitches, he's no longer doing anywhere near the damage with pitches in the strike zone that he used to, slugging just .402 against pitches in the strike zone on the season.

Brunch turned into us wandering around the city, discovering the royal palace, planning our trip to Paris this weekend, and walking around Retiro Park. We had a great time catching up and, even though we hadn't seen each other in about 4 years, not a thing had changed.

Nine Months and Counting: P8
The sun filters in through the blinds and wakes me up. After I stood in my underwear and cried in Michelangelo's arms for what seemed like hours, he carried me back upstairs and tucked me into bed. This was after I explained why I avoid the lower levels of my apartment like the plague. They feel like cold and empty shells, haunted by ghosts. I hate ghosts.
Although my blankets are warm and comforting, I still have an agenda for the day, which includes painting, cleaning half of my "studio" for Michelangelo to sleep in, painting, and adjusting to the idea that there's an extremely good chance that I'm pregnant with my best friend's sister's child. Not strange at all. Keep telling yourself that, Brynne.
I slip out of bed and walk to my bathroom. A hot shower is in order. And then maybe a long bubble bath. And then maybe another shower. On my way to the bathroom, I see Michelangelo through the crack in my doorway, asleep on the couch in the living room. The sunlight is streaming through the green curtains and dancing across his face. I silently push my bedroom door open and walk closer toward him. I'd heard him pacing for a good hour or so after he tucked me in. Instead of lying out on the couch, he'd fallen asleep sitting up, with his head leaning back on the top of the couch. When he's asleep, that is one of the few times that he ever seems truly peaceful. Even when we were younger, and would play outside, or even play vintage games on his grandfather's old Wii system, Michelangelo would always be on alert, constantly checking for threats. That's why he's such a phenomenal soldier. But this peaceful and relaxed Michelangelo, this is the Michelangelo that I became friends with forever ago.
I turn to go back into my room, when the black velvet ring box on the coffee table catches my eye. With Michelangelo snoring in the background, I grab the box and slowly open it. Even though the engagement is fake, the ring is still the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It's a very simple single silver band, with one large, princess-cut diamond mounted in the center. On either side of the diamond, two tiny aquamarine stones are nestled into the silver band. Hesitantly, and almost reverently, I remove the ring from its velvet nest and set the box back down. After contemplating the ring for a few more moments, and reminding myself that the only thing this ring means is that none of us are executed for me being an illegal surrogate mother, I sigh and set in back down in the box.
"You know that you're supposed to wear engagement rings, right?"
I jump in surprise. "I didn't think you were awake yet."
I hear him stretch against the leather couch and lean closer to the table. "I've been awake long enough to see that your face looks like a kaleidoscope when you look at that ring." He leans across the table and grabs the ring, leaving the box on the old wooden table.
I turn around and watch him turn the ring over between his fingers. "You snore," I tell him, trying to change the subject.
Michelangelo shrugs. "I know. A lot of people do. It's a fairly common thing. So is wearing engagement rings to show you're engaged."
I look down at the plush rug beneath my feet and develop a sudden interest in the swirling ombre colors.
"Brynne. You know this doesn't mean anything. It's just a piece of jewelry to help keep us and Ashely and Abel from getting killed. I'm wearing mine." He offers his left hand for examination, and I look back up. Sure enough, there's a thick silver band on his left ring finger, with matching aquamarine stones across the band.
"You didn't properly ask me to wear it, yet," I say, then mentally slap myself. Why on earth did I just tell my best friend that he has to propose to me?
He smiles and rolls his eyes, then slips down to one knee in front of me. "Brynne Ross Matthews, will you please do me the honor of wearing this ring so that we can continue our fake engagement to carry my sister's child and no one gets executed for treason?"
The strangeness and illegality of our situation hits me, and I start laughing hysterically. After I've had a second to calm down, I hold out my left hand.

We bought two of these reading lamps for the living room. I was looking for a sleek design and a color that popped in the newly painted (light pumpkin) living room. They are hefty and made of quality material yet elegant in their design. The colors are perfect. Buy the bulbs, as they're not typical. Be sure to remove the sticker on the diffuser before you turn it on and admire it.. we neglected to do so on one of them and it pulled a bit of the diffuser off with the sticker.

Diadora Vortex Comp Shoes Women's
Diadora blends features from its top end models with hardworking materials to create its Vortex Comp Women's Shoes, giving self sponsored cyclists an option worthy of a full calendar of training and racing. Diadora uses Suprell Tech Morpho AM Cage technology to construct the streamlined uppers, which are shaped around a women specific last with a more exaggerated taper than the men's version to accommodate women's narrower heels. The upper fits close to the skin throughout to guarantee efficient power transfer, but Diadora adds mesh panels to ensure your feet are able to breathe within the shoes. Inside the shoe, Diadora adds a perforated, waterproof EVA insole that can be modified to provide the right level of support for your arch shape. The Duratech heel cup also supports from within the shoe, providing a slip free grip on your heel so you're able to pedal hard without worrying about heel slippage in the middle of a climb. The heel cup and insole are also both removable, giving you the option to add any type of arch support or orthotic to the shoe. Using a carbon reinforced Comp Road KR sole, Diadora is able to achieve an enviable degree of stiffness for the Vortex Comp 8 out of 12 on the stiffness index without a pro level price. The sole will absorb road vibrations and efficiently transfer power as you're out on a ride, and Diadora adds a finish in the cleat area for better grip. Finally, a Boa dial paired with two hook and loop straps work together to provide a secure, customizable fit, allowing you to adjust the pressure along the top of the foot, instep, and metatarsal areas to eliminate hot spots and pressure points mid ride.

Green tea is said to have many putative positive effects on health.
Now, researchers at the University of Basel are reporting first evidence that green tea extract enhances the cognitive functions, in particular the working memory. The Swiss findings suggest promising clinical implications for the treatment of cognitive impairments in psychiatric disorders such as dementia. The academic journalPsychopharmacology has published their results.
In the past the main ingredients of green tea have been thoroughly studied in cancer research. Recently, scientists have also been inquiring into the beverage's positive impact on the human brain. Different studies were able to link green tea to beneficial effects on the cognitive performance. However, the neural mechanisms underlying this cognitive enhancing effect of green tea remained unknown.
Better memory
In a new study, the researcher teams of Prof. Christoph Beglinger from the University Hospital of Basel and Prof. Stefan Borgwardt from the Psychiatric University Clinics found that green tea extract increases the brain's effective connectivity, meaning the causal influence that one brain area exerts over another. This effect on connectivity also led to improvement in actual cognitive performance: Subjects tested significantly better for working memory tasks after the admission of green tea extract.
For the study healthy male volunteers received a soft drink containing several grams of green tea extract before they solved working memory tasks. The scientists then analyzed how this affected the brain activity of the men using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The MRI showed increased connectivity between the parietal and the frontal cortex of the brain. These neuronal findings correlated positively with improvement in task performance of the participants. «Our findings suggest that green tea might increase the short-term synaptic plasticity of the brain», says Borgwardt.
Clinical implications
The research results suggest promising clinical implications: Modeling effective connectivity among frontal and parietal brain regions during working memory processing might help to assess the efficacy of green tea for the treatment of cognitive impairments in neuropsychiatric disorders such as dementia.
When individuals engage in risky business transactions with each other, they may end up being disappointed.
This is why they'd rather leave the decision on how to divvy up jointly-owned monies to a computer than to their business partner. This subconscious strategy seems to help them avoid the negative emotions associated with any breaches of trust. This is the result of a study by scientists from the University of Bonn and US peers. They are presenting their findings in the scientific journal "Proceedings of the Royal Society B."
Trust is an essential basis for business relationships. However, this basis can be shaken if one business partner exhibits dishonest behavior. "Everyone knows that trust can be shattered in risky businesses," explained Prof. Dr. Bernd Weber from the Center for Economics and Neuroscience (CENs) at the University of Bonn. "As a result, people are not all that eager to put their trust in others." Scientists call this attitude "betrayal aversion" – people try to avoid being disappointed by potential breaches of trust.
In a current study, Prof. Weber and his US colleagues, Prof. Dr. Jason A. Aimone from Baylor University and Prof. Dr. Daniel Houser from George Mason University examined in experiments the effects betrayal aversion has on simple financial decisions. A total of 30 subjects played a computer game at George Mason University in Arlington, VA (USA) that promised real monies to the winners. At the Life & Brain Zentrum of the University of Bonn, the same number of subjects then made their decisions based on the results of the earlier experiment. And while the Bonn subjects were responding to their gaming partners' decisions made earlier in Arlington, their brain activity was measured by means of MRI scans.
Sharing fairly or making a profit at the other person's expense?
In this experiment, the test subjects in Bonn were able to select whether they and their US partners would get one euro each only, or whether they wanted to have a higher amount – i.e., 6 euros – divided up. However, the latter variant came with a risk. So, for example, the other player might get as much as 5.60 euros while the Bonn player would be left with only 40 Cents. The actual dividing of the amount, which came in a second step, could be left either to one's partner or to the computer. However, the computer gave out exactly the same decisions as the real test subjects. "So, from the point of view of winnings, there was no difference whether the other player or the machine divided the amount," explained Prof. Weber. "And the subjects had explicitly been told so from the very start."
Even though the winnings were exactly the same in the end, more subjects put their trust into the computer. When the money was divided by the computer, 63 percent of subjects trusted the process and only 37 percent preferred taking just the one euro. But if the arrangement was that the human partners would make the decision, only 49 percent of test subjects trusted them – 51 percent would rather take the more secure, small amount. "These results show that more subjects prefer to leave risky decisions in which they may be betrayed to an impersonal device, thus avoiding the negative feeling that comes from having wrongly trusted a human," said Prof. Weber, adding that obviously a breach of trust committed by an impersonal computer was less emotionally stressful than if had been a private business partner.
The brain's frontal insula was especially active
The University of Bonn's subjects also showed interesting brain activities as measured in MRI scans. In the process of making financial decisions, the frontal insula was especially active when it was another player who made the decision on how to divide the amount. "This area of the brain is always involved when negative emotions such as pain, disappointment or fear are activated," explained Prof. Weber. He added that the fact that the frontal insula was activated is a clear indication that negative emotions played an important role in these situations.
Financial decisions are very complex. "This is a very contrary phenomenon. Many studies show that the anonymity of business partners on the Internet results in a loss of trust," said Prof. Weber. "But our results indicate that this anonymity can also help avoid negative feelings." He added that these decision processes in financial transactions would yet have to be studied in more detail.
Research that could lead to new medical imaging methods and better treatments for stroke and other brain conditions
A technique Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) scientists invented for scanning ancient manuscripts is now being used to probe the human brain, in research that could lead to new medical imaging methods and better treatments for stroke and other brain conditions.
The studies, taking place at SLAC's Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, are led by cell biologist Helen Nichol, of the University of Saskatchewan, with $2.5 million in funding from the Canadian government and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Her team, which includes a Stanford neurosurgeon and stem cell expert, other medical doctors and experts in stroke research and medical imaging, reflects the broad ambitions of this research: to give doctors a better understanding of what they're seeing in MRI scans of stroke patients; to improve diagnosis and guide treatments; and maybe even to develop new ways to peer inside the living brain. What all these goals have in common is that they depend on the ability to track movements and deposits of tiny traces of metal in human tissue. That's a job the SSRL technique, known as rapid-scanning XRF, is exquisitely suited to do.
At a synchrotron equipped with this technology, "you can see a large sample of brain, and you have the high resolution the technique offers to actually zoom in on your single cells," said Dr. Raphael Guzman, a pediatric neurosurgeon and stem cell expert at Stanford University Medical Center who is leading part of the study.
Regular XRF, or X-ray fluorescence imaging, uses the SSRL's powerful X-ray beam to knock electrons out of the inner shells of atoms in a sample. As more electrons fall in to fill the gaps, they give off light—fluoresce—and the color of that light reveals which chemical elements are present.
In the mid-2000s, SLAC scientists had a chance to use this technique to examine a priceless manuscript—the Archimedes palimpsest, a 10th century parchment containing copies of works by the ancient Greek mathematician that had been erased by monks and recycled as a prayer book. But they soon realized that to examine something this big in a reasonable amount of time, they would have to make the scanning go much faster.
Led by physicist Uwe Bergmann, they developed a way to move the beam continually over the sample, rather than imaging one spot at a time. This allowed them to proceed 300 times faster—a scan that used to take 12 days could now be done in an hour—and opened up the possibility of examining much bigger samples, from art objects and cultural artifacts to fossils of early birds. In 2006, Bergmann and an international team of researchers used rapid-scanning XRF to reveal the words of Archimedes, including passages that had been lost for centuries, beneath the prayer writings on the old parchment.
When she read about this research, Nichol said, "It just grabbed me. I thought, if he could map something as big as a sheet of paper, we could map a brain."
She and her colleagues began using rapid-scanning XRF at the SSRL to look at metals in the preserved brains of people who had died with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis. The healthy brain needs metals like iron, zinc, manganese and copper to work properly, and some studies had indicated that in people with neurodegenerative diseases, the normal distribution of these metals was out of whack. But did these changes cause the disease, or were they a result of it? And were they consistent enough to offer a tool for diagnosis?
To the team's disappointment, scans of brain slices from eight people with Parkinson's disease found no clear pattern—nothing that could help doctors diagnose their brain conditions or understand how they came about. "What we found is that the changes you see in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are sort of variations on normal," Nichol said.
She decided that beam time on the SSRL was better spent studying a disorder that caused clear, obvious damage in the brain. Stroke fit the bill.
When a stroke blocks the flow of blood to the brain, it produces striking lesions, almost like bruises, caused by bleeding and tissue death. Blood contains iron, which is part of the hemoglobin that carries oxygen in red blood cells. When bleeding occurs, the iron leaks out in a form that can damage surrounding cells, so the body quickly tucks the iron away in various chemical compounds for safe storage.
Standard MRI scans can image and identify those iron compounds and show doctors where bleeding has taken place. But they may not catch the very smallest bleeds, Nichol said, or identify other elements that may be disrupted during a stroke.
That's where RS-XRF comes in. As the first practical tool for imaging a number of different metals in all of their chemical forms at the same time—and over a large section of the brain—it "opens up a lot of doors to things you can't see with medical imaging," Nichol said. It also can tell one form of iron from another; the spectrum of iron in hemoglobin will look different than free-floating iron or the iron compounds produced by bleeding, for instance.
The idea behind the study is that iron in its varied forms can be used as a marker to reveal changes in molecules and cells that follow a stroke, evaluate stroke damage and follow the migration of stem cells that are injected into patients in experimental stroke treatments. The scientists will also look at sulfur compounds that are thought to play a role in protecting the brain from damage, and evaluate the effects of the few stroke treatments available, such as chilling the brain, on the distribution of iron and sulfur.
Members of the team come to the SSRL about three weeks per year to scan brain tissue from rats, including some that have been bred to make them unusually susceptible to stroke, as well as human brain tissue from the National Institutes of Health brain bank. Additional experiments are being done at the Canadian Light Source at the University of Saskatchewan.
While they are not putting live patients in a synchrotron, the scientists hope their findings will someday result in the ability to scan live patients with methods that are much more sensitive to damage from tiny strokes that now go unnoticed.

We took about an hour going slowly up and then down into the canyon – our driver was funny and the landing was smooth. Eventually they got us onto a trailer, which drove us to our bus with the balloon still inflated. Then we had champagne and got certificates – what a wonderful experience.

Sentence #275589
You cannot translate sentences because you did not add any language in your profile.
in in?!
I'm not sure, but I guess the first "in" is the particle of the verb to major in sthg, and the second one is the particle indicating the place, eg "college". Native explanation/re explanation welcome !
Using "in in" here is grammatically correct, and sounds natural in spoken language. Repeated words often look strange in writing, even if they represent valid grammar. For example: "I learned that she had had a baby."
As Snout said, the first "in" is associated with "major" (e.g. "I plan to major in linguistics.") and the second "in" is associated with "college".
An acceptable alternative to this would be "What do you plan to major in at college?"

Freud's Schreber Between Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis

April 2011
BeschreibungThis book investigates what was distinctive about the predisposition to psychosis Freud posited in Daniel Paul Schreber, a presiding judge in Saxony's highest court. It argues that Freud's 1911 Schreber text reversed the order of priority in late nineteenth-century conceptions of the disposing causes of psychosis - the objective-biological and subjective-biographical - to privilege subjective disposition to psychosis, but without returning to the paradigms of early nineteenth-century Romantic psychiatry and without obviating the legitimate claims of biological psychiatry in relation to hereditary disposition. While Schreber is the book's reference point, this is not a general treatment of Schreber, or of Freud's reading of the Schreber case. It focuses rather on what was new in Freud's thinking on the disposition to psychosis, what he learned from his psychiatrist contemporaries and what he did not, and whether or not psychoanalysts have fully received his aetiology.

Daily Craig: Here come the Americans
Soccer may not be your game but the NRG family is sure glad the USA is coming to their place. It isn't a big deal to beat Ecuador in many respects, but in soccer it is.
The Americans beat Ecuador 2-1 in the Copa and now are in the semi finals. The fans in Seattle last night were great and Houston is going to be great too. The others in the short pants will either be Argentina OR Venezuela. I know you are rooting for the Messi to come to town. Can you imagine the ticket scalping? I can hear every one complaining about the condition of the field. Let's hope that isn't an issue. I can tell you one thing, Messi won't be coming off the bench. I also don't want to hear how you hate soccer.
The NBA has played 6 games in the Finals and it's tied. Could Golden State lose the 7th at home? Most likely not. Stephen Curry will celebrate Dad's day coming off his first ever 6-foul game. The Finals have all been blowouts which is disappointing. Speaking of Father's Day, a shout out to all you dads. I am one also. I do want to tell a quick grandson story to kick off the big weekend.
I was visiting my daughter's family in Georgia and part of my duty was to tuck the kiddos in and say prayers. I did so with my granddaughter and then it was her brother's turn. I saw a little stuffed animal in his bed so I picked it up. In my best impression of various dog barks while waving the toy in his face, you know "woof, woof, bark, bark." My impressions were exhausted when Shep looked at me and said, "Pa, that's a cat."

Dangers of constantly on wifi smartphone apps
The dangers of constantly keeping your smartphone's always on has been revealed.
Many smartphone users leave the wireless option constantly turned on on their smartphone. That means the phones are constantly looking for a network to join – including previously used networks.
Once the user has joined a disguised wifi network, the rogue operator can then steal any information that the user enters while on that network – including email passwords, Facebook account information, and even banking details.
This is also why smartphones and other devices that use wireless technology – such as Oyster cards using RFID (radio frequency identification) or bank cards with chips – can betray their users.
Mr Wilkinson – who began developing the Snoopy software three years ago as a side-project – gave the BBC a preview of the technology ahead of its release.
Pulling out a laptop from his bag, Mr Wilkinson opened the Snoopy programme – and immediately pulled up the smartphone information of hundreds of Black Hat conference attendees.
With just a few keystrokes, he showed that an attendee sitting in the back right corner of the keynote speech probably lived in a specific neighbourhood in Singapore. The software even provided a streetview photo of the smartphone user's presumed address.
DJI phantom SensePost has used the Snoopy software attached to cheap commercial drones like DJI's Phantom
Drones- not just flying cameras:
- Drones are controlled either autonomously by on-board computers, or by remote control
- They are used in situations where manned flight is considered too dangerous or difficult
- Also increasingly used for policing and fire-fighting, security work, and for filming
For instance, the Snoopy software has been ground-based until now, operating primarily on computers, smartphones with Linux installed on them, and on open-source small computers like the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black.
But when attached to a drone, it can quickly cover large areas.
"You can also fly out of audio-visual range – so you can't see or hear it, meaning you can bypass physical security – men with guns, that sort of thing," he says.
It's not hard to imagine a scenario in which an authoritarian regime could fly the drone over an anti-government protest and collect the smartphone data of every protester and use the data to figure out the identities of everyone in attendance.
Mr Wilkinson says that this is why he has become fascinated with our "digital terrestrial footprint" – and the way our devices can betray us.
He says he wants to "talk about this to bring awareness" of the security risks posed by such simple technologies to users.
His advice? Turn off the wireless network on your phone until you absolutely need to use it.

Star Trek Concordance of People, Places and Things is compiled and written by Dorothy Jones, and edited by Bjo Trimble. The zine is a resource of people, places, air dates, lists of actors and episode synopses. It includes an extensive index.
It was first published in summer 1969. Star Trek Concordance has two supplements, the first published in 1973 and the second in 1995.
In 1976, Ballantine Books published a pro version of the Concordance, which was later endorsed by Paramount as an official guide.
It was re-issued in 1996 to include the movies and some episodes of TNG and DS9.[2]
It was parodied in 1975 in the zine Comicordance.
It is one of the very earliest Star Trek fiction zines published. For others, see List of Star Trek TOS Zines Published While the Show Was Still On the Air.
The Transition from a Fan Publication to a Pro PublicationFrom the Equicon (1976) program book:
As of the end of April, Mathom House will cease to publish & sell the amateur Concordances: all 3 seasons & and both animated seasons will be gathered in one professional book on the general order of the STAR-FLEET MANUAL (not a pocketbook).
This book is the main reason for extra problems in putting on Equicon/FILMCON at the same time: we hope you will understand the double strain of trying to meet a book deadline & handle a large con, too when Bjo also has the problem of getting tendonitis to slow everything down considerably.Getting all the Concordance material into one book (& out of our hair!) is a big thrill but lots of hard & strenuous work. Correlating material, adding, correcting & retyping everything has taken almost every waking hour for some time now, but we think it will be worth it & and hope you will, too.
The Concordance's Origins and Some Conflict Regarding this Zine's Creation
In 1977: "Bjo Trimble would like all doubters to know, once & for all, that Dorothy Jones Heydt does, indeed, get her fair share of royalties collected from The Star Trek Concordance sales." [3]
From a 1999 interview: "[Interviewer asks]: Your Star Trek Concordance has long been considered the definitive guide to the original Star Trek television series. What inspired you to write the book? What the extent of Dorothy Jones Heydt's involvement in the book? Without videotape, how did you manage to gather such detailed information from each episode? [Trimble responds]: Dorothy was a very focused person in the 60s, with only 2 interests: Star Trek and her religion. She began making notes on 3x5 cards about everything Trek. I have always liked encyclopedias, and said that would make a book, and we began to work on one. Dorothy and I both watched episodes on TV and on a friend's early VCR (it was tape, wound through the machine much like an old audio tape recorder). We both make many notes. I did the actual writing, though I stupidly credited Dorothy as the total author in the fan edition and me as only the editor. Dorothy's cattiness about females shows up in the original edition. When time came for re-writes, Dorothy had lost interest and turned the project over to me. I took it from there." [4]
In a 2011 interview, Bjo Trimble explains: "The Concordance started with a young lady taking copious notes on episodes as they were viewed. I started helping her. When she had shoeboxes full of 3x5 index cards, I suggested that we put together a sort of encyclopedia fanzine. But it began to take too long and she lost interest. When we finally produced the Concordance fanzine, I was foolish in giving the young lady all the writing credit, which was not entirely true. For subsequent publications of the book, she had no input at all. John and I produced the first fan-published edition on an offset press in our basement. If you purchased a copy and happened to be in town, you had to come to our house to collate your own book!" [5]

Color Book
Star Trek Concordance Color Book was published in 1973.
Additions and Corrections Issue
"Additions and Corrections to the Star Trek Concordance and Supplement" by Ruth Berman contains 24 pages and was published 1974. It includes excepts from letters to Ruth Berman from Kay Elliott (Stella Mudd), Patrick Horgan (Chairman Eneg), Frank Vinci (Leonard Nimoy's stand in), Jane Wyatt (Amanda), Gene Dynarski (Ben Childress), Booker Bradshaw (Dr. M'Benga), and Ed McCready (numerous characters). Mimeographed, stapled.
In 1973, before being published as standalone zine, Ruth Berman compiled a list of additions and corrections to the Star Trek Concordance and Supplement. This appears to have been reprinted in the final issue of T-Negative.
In the separate issue, Berman writes: "This is not a publication of additions and corrections: it is not available to the public and not for sale. I'm running off a couple hundred copies to give to friends and ST nit-pickers. While I've got copies I'll be happy to let anyone have a copy who wants one -- although I'd appreciate twenty-five cents to cover postage and envelope. So if those of you getting this want to tell people about it, you may, but please tell them about it individually, no ads in zines. The material herein is covered by common-law copyright and may not be reprinted except by my permission."
On a Star Trek forum Bjo Trimble is quoted as (bitterly and snippily) saying about Additions and Corrections: "I have a copy of Berman's snippy little fanzine, which she published without telling me or showing me a copy before it went out. I had to find out by having another fan send me a copy. But it is a file copy and I am not inclined to share it. Much of the info is erroneous but she had a grudge against me and went out of her way in those days to show me in a bad light. Some fans lapped it up, but fortunately, she never achieved her goal of running me out of fandom and she is now out of my life.-- Bjo" [6]
Reactions and Reviews
If ever there was a book that fitted the description of containing more than one cared to know on a subject, this is it. Included are plot synopses of the episodes, each of which is followed by the cast, list of characters, and vocabulary. Fully half of the book is occupied with the lexicon, a painstaking listing of every conceivable character, planet, scientific term, etc, mentioned throughout both the live action and animated series. Both regular and guest actors are also highlighted, in addition to the production crew member. This large-sized edition (8 1/2 x 11") is pleasing to the eye as well as to the intellect. Reproductions of scenes from the animated series are interspersed throughout the lexicon section, and a gallery of fan art is very impressive. To refer to this as "fan art" is perhaps misleading, as the quality of most of the renditions are of professional caliber. Some works will be remembered from the original fan publication of the Concordance. The Concordance is a prime example of the lengths to which Trekkers will go to amass trivia. Originally a fan effort by Dorothy Jones derived from the live action series, the Ballantine version details all 18 animated episodes as well. The quality of Trek fans to not remain content with existing materials, but to create more for their imagination, is undoubtedly a significant factor in the realization of this book. When an answer is needed for a technical or trivial question, this is the source one should consult first. The few errors that have been discovered are usually so esoteric that only a grand master of trivia could detect them, and do not spoil the quality of the rest. [7]
[regarding an edition that came out in 1976]:
A hefty volume containing a wealth of information concerning the Star Trek episodes, both live-action and animated. The volume is divided into three main parts: Fan Art, Summaries, and Lexicon.
The Fan Art section has reproductions of artwork by fandom's best-Alicia Austin, George Barr, Tim Courtney, and others; some of these artists have gone on to become professionals. This is a good representation of artwork, taken from the original Concordance series. This updated version, though, has a welcome addition by Robert Wood depicting the different styles of insignia used on various ships.
The Summaries, listed in order of air date, contain a brief, but complete, synopsis of each episode. There is a cast listing and cross-reference to the Lexicon after each summary. The animated episodes have somewhat longer summaries, which are enhanced by the animated artwork of Robert Kline and other Filmation artists. Like the previous live-action episodes, there are cast listings and cross-references.
The Lexicon, a Star Trek dictionary, lists all the people, places, and things related to Star Trek. After each description is a reference to the episode it is taken from. Not only are terms defined, but where possible, brief biographies are given on characters; also information listings on Weapons and Armament, Vulcan words, Diseases and Drugs, Computers, Medical Terminology, Ships and Shuttlecraft, Starships, and Slang.
Further reference materials include a listing of episodes by Star Date [Time Line), and are in alphabetical order.
The cover is a wrap-around view of the Enterprise against a starry background. Though unimaginative in itself, the front cover is a useful "index wheel" placed on the saucer section. Any episode can be located quickly not only by page number, but by Star Date and call letters as well.An 8 1/2 x 11 inch paperback with attractive, easy-to-read type, the "STAR TREK Concordance" is a valuable reference addition to any Star Trek fan's bookshelf.

His reputation is as the manager who will answer any question straight but Arsène Wenger admitted yesterday that in the past 14 years at Arsenal even he had told lies in order to mislead the media about certain players and protect sensitive issues around the club.
Wenger's words came three days after Wayne Rooney said that Sir Alex Ferguson was wrong to claim that an injured ankle was the reason he missed games against Valencia and Sunderland. There is no suggestion that Ferguson was lying over Rooney but when asked yesterday if he had ever been economical with the truth, Wenger said that he had done so in special circumstances.
Wenger, whose team play Birmingham City at home today, said: "If you are asking me if I have lied to the press to protect a player, I must say yes. I didn't feel comfortable afterwards, but I have a clear conscience because if it's for one of my players it's a good cause.
"Everybody is different – if you ask the players, they want to play every three days, but if you ask the managers, sometimes they feel they have to rest players. But if you want to know if I have lied to protect a player, the honest answer is yes. [I did it] to protect a player. I can't give concrete examples, but when I lie to the press I always speak to the player concerned beforehand to get our story straight."
Wenger still has major injury problems despite the return of Theo Walcott, Nicklas Bendtner and Kieran Gibbs to his squad today. Laurent Koscielny and Bacary Sagna were both injured during the defeat to Chelsea. Thomas Vermaelen is 10 days away from fitness. Wenger had thought that Cesc Fabregas would return to face Birmingham but he is still not ready. Manuel Almunia and Robin Van Persie are also both still out.
Having started the debate on reckless tackling earlier in the season with his criticism of Stoke City's "rugby" tactics, Wenger said yesterday that players guilty of dangerous challenges should be banned for a longer period than the regulation three matches.
The Arsenal manager claimed that the French Football Federation (FFF) has the power to impose longer bans on players in its leagues. In reality, the FFF is guided by the same Fifa rules as the English Football Association. Both have the "exceptional circumstances" clause at their disposal, which the FA invoked on Ben Thatcher for his elbow on Pedro Mendes in 2006.
Behind the scenes Fifa discourages national federations from using the "exceptional circumstances" rule in all but extremely selective cases. The Thatcher incident – for which the Manchester City player was banned for eight games – is the only time it has been and then only because Greater Manchester Police were about to intervene. Wenger said: "I have not seen the tackle of [Nigel] De Jong. But whether is it De Jong or somebody else, we have to make sure that the players know when they go into the game that if they do something that the referee has not seen that is dirty they can get punished. You can be punished in France for a dirty tackle that the referee has not seen. Even if the referee has seen the tackle and it's not punished... you can get six months."Reuse content

BERLIN (dpa) – Legendary US director Terrence Malick returns to Berlin on Sunday with his much-anticipated new film about the perils of modern-day Hollywood, Knight of Cups.
Starring Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman, Malick's film focuses on a scriptwriter struggling to make sense of the excesses of life in Los Angeles as well as the level of fame that can be achieved as a result of a successful career in Tinseltown.
But one of the great questions of this year's festival is whether the notoriously reclusive Malick, who won the Golden Bear in 1999 for his World War II drama The Thin Red Line, will be there in person for the premiere of his film.
Despite a career spanning four decades, the 71-year-old Malick has not given an interview about his movies since the early 1970s.
Seven years after The Thin Red Line, the Berlinale screened Malick's The New World about the United States' early beginnings in the 17th century. The movie was shown out of competition, which meant it was not in the running for any awards.
In 2011, Malick won the Cannes Film Festival's iconic Palme d'Or for his film The Tree of Life – more than 30 years after he was awarded Cannes' best director prize for his second feature film, Days of Heaven.
But after directing only six films between 1973 and 2012, the 71-year-old Malick has quickened the pace in recent years.
Named after the tarot card that indicates youth, transition and conflict, Knight of Cups is one of three films Malick currently has in the pipeline.

Lahore, Feb.10 (ANI): The Lahore High Court (LHC) has once again asked for a reply from the Ministry of Sports and Culture on a petition seeking a ban on the screening of Indian films in Pakistan.
LHC Chief Justice Khawaja Muhammad Sharif has directed the ministry to submit its reply by March 3.
Earlier, the court had directed the ministry to file its reply by February 9, but it failed to do so.
It may be noted that one Ishtiaq Ahmed Chaudhry, had filed a petition in the LHC, saying that the whole of Pakistan has been 'humiliated' by the Indian Premier League's (IPL) decision not to include any Pakistani cricketers in the T20 league's next edition.
Chaudhry, in his petition, pleaded that the government should ban Indian films unless the Indian government does not apologise for the disregard shown to the Pakistani players.
However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) counsels informed the court that the Indian government and its cricket board (BCCI) had fully cooperated with the Pakistani players as the players were granted visas and security clearance certificates accordingly.
The counsel argued that the Indian Premier League (IPL) was a private organisation and the Indian government had no involvement in its affairs. (ANI)

Etihad Airways Finalises GEnx-1B Engine Selection and OnPoint Solutions Agreement
Etihad Airways Finalises GEnx-1B Engine Selection and OnPoint Solutions Agreement
FARNBOROUGH AIR SHOW -- July 20, 2010 – Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has finalised the purchase of 78 GEnx-1B engines to power its 35 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft order announced during the Paris Airshow in 2009.
The total value of the engine order is worth $1.8 billion (USD) list price and the aircraft delivery is scheduled to begin in 2015.
Additionally, Etihad Airways has signed a 15-year OnPointSM solutions agreement with GE Aviation for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of these engines. The agreement is worth more than $2.5 billion (USD) over the life of the contract.
Etihad Airways chief executive officer, James Hogan, said: "We are pleased to be working with GE for the delivery of these advanced GEnx engines, which offer cost optimisation and fuel efficiency for Etihad's Dreamliner aircraft. One of the key criteria in the selection of our engines is environmental performance, and the reduced emissions of the GEnx engines will complement our fleet, which is one of the youngest and most environmentally efficient in the world.
"Furthermore, as part of our long-term partnership with GE, the OnPoint maintenance agreement will enable technology and skills transfer to our maintenance partner, Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies, for these engine types."
David Joyce, president and chief executive officer of GE Aviation, said: "We are extremely proud to be associated with an airline with such significant growth.
"Etihad Airways already operates GE90-powered Boeing 777 fleet, and the selection of the GEnx engine re-affirms the airline's confidence in the quality of GE products, backed by world-class product support for many years to come."
Etihad Airways has achieved significant growth since it first took to the skies in November 2003, now operating to 64 destinations around its network. In 2008, Etihad announced the largest aircraft order in commercial aviation history for up to 205 aircraft due for delivery by 2020, including 100 firm orders, 55 options and 50 purchase rights.
With more than 1,100 engines sold to date, the GEnx is the fastest-selling engine in GE's history. Based on the proven architecture of the GE90, the GEnx will succeed GE's CF6 engine, offering the GEnx will offer 15 percent improved fuel efficiency, which translates into 15 percent less CO2. It is designed to stay on wing 30 percent longer than the CF6, while using 30 percent fewer parts, greatly reducing maintenance.
The GEnx emissions will be as much as 95 percent below current regulatory limits. The engine will also be the quietest one that GE has produced, based on a pound-of-thrust-per-decibel ratio. As the world's only jet engine with both a front fan case and fan blades made of carbon fiber composites, the GEnx will also have greater durability, better performance retention as well as lower operating costs than comparable engines in its class.
The OnPoint solution is a customized service agreement tailored to the operational and financial needs of Etihad's fleet. The agreement will lower the cost of ownership and maximize the use of assets. Backed by GE's global support network, OnPoint services for Etihad may include overhaul, on wing support, new and used-serviceable parts, component repair, technology upgrades, engine leasing, integrated systems support and diagnostics and integrated systems.
Etihad Airways is the national airline of the United Arab Emirates based in the UAE's capital, Abu Dhabi. Currently Etihad offers flights to 64 destinations in the Middle East, Europe, North America, Africa, Australia and Asia. For further details visit www.etihadmediacentre.com.
GE Aviation, an operating unit of GE (NYSE: GE), is a world-leading provider of jet and turboprop engines, components and integrated systems for commercial, military, business and general aviation aircraft. GE Aviation has a global service network to support these offerings. For more information, visit us at www.ge.com/aviation.
