Postage stamps and postal history of Paraguay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paraguay gained independence from Spain in 1811.
Pre-stamp era[edit]
Paraguay operated an internal postal service from 1769 to 1811. Mail travelled from Buenos Aires via Santa Fe and Corrientes to Candelaria and Asuncion.[1]
First stamps[edit]
The republic of Paraguay issued its first stamps (1, 2, and 3 Reales) on 1 August 1870,[2] featuring a standing lion raising a republican hat, lithographed by R. Lange (Buenos Aires).[3]

Expected Release Dates Of Galaxy S5 In 2014
Oct 01,2013 6 Comments
The upcoming flagship Samsung phone, Galaxy S5 has been in the rumors since the launch of Galaxy S4. The way people are following all rumors about this device to keep themselves updated in this matter, is just phenomenal. Out of all rumors, the majority talks about the release date. You might know that Samsung is yet to give any word about the features and release date of Galaxy S5. But Samsung's silence does not mean that we don't have any idea about the release date of this smartphone. Thanks to rumors and claims that give us an estimate of what could be Samsung Galaxy release date.
Most of Galaxy S5 release date rumors believe this smartphone to hit the market in next year, while there are some rumors that claim the 2013 release date. Rumors of latter type blame 'poor sales of Galaxy S4' for that. As per these rumors, 'poor sales' could force Samsung to release the successor, the Galaxy S5 in this year itself. But it's hard to digest that Samsung will kill S4 by launching S5 this year, so I'm pretty sure Galaxy S5 is coming out next year only. Now let's talk about the possible release dates of Galaxy S5 in 2014.
The rumors about the 2014 as possible release date for Galaxy S5 make some sense. Just like the Apple, the Samsung has started the annual release date trend. Although Samsung is not strict with the pattern, but still, the past distorted pattern make us believe the rumors suggesting 2014 as release date for Galaxy S5.
Many rumors have in them that Galaxy S5 would come up in March of next year, while many others claim the April month. Let me remind you that Galaxy S4 was launched in an event held on March 14. The smartphone then hit the UK market on April 26. Galaxy S3 hit the market on May 29 of 2012. After considering this pattern, we get the idea that Galaxy S5 could hit the market in the late April or early May.
Apart from the aforesaid rumors, the rest have in them that Galaxy S5 would hit in the late 2014. As per those rumors, Galaxy S5 is still under development and Samsung is working on some new technologies and features for it (64-bit chip, new camera technology etc.) which will take some time. To make Galaxy S5 packed with new technologies, the smartphone may see a delay in its release.
Few reports suggest that Samsung could unveil Galaxy S5 in February 2014 at Mobile World Congress event. However, I do not agree with it. According to me, Samsung will hold a special event for Galaxy S5 launch.
Well, needless to say that none out of the possible aforesaid Galaxy S5 release dates are confirmed. Hell lot of confusion, indeed! I am personally in favor of Galaxy S5 release date in next year – either in month of April or May. Why? Well, it does not only make sense from Samsung's pattern point of view, but also from the competition prospective as well. The iPhone 5S has hit the market and Samsung will have to come with S5 soon to compete with it, because Galaxy S4 does not seems to level up with it.
We'll keep you updated on latest news about Galaxy S5 release date. Join us on Facebook and Twitter for latest updates.

All Proposals & Abstracts Must Be Submitted Through The PCA Conference Submission page
Please submit a proposal to only one area at a time. Exceptions and rules
New for 2017! CFP: Disability Studies (Special Topics Area)
CFP: Disability Studies (PCA/ACA, San Diego, California, April 12-15, 2017)
New for 2017! CFP: Disability Studies (Special Topics)
According to the United Nations, disabled individuals make up 15% of the global population and are the largest minority group. The portrayal of people with disabilities is hugely important. How, when, why, and where they are portrayed has enormous impact on how they are regarded in society. (U.N., 2015)
We welcome proposals exploring cultural, social and historical perspectives, as well as artistic representation (e.g. visual/performing arts), practical, political, or pedagogical concerns, and submissions that apply Disability Studies in conjunction with another theoretical approach (e.g. feminist theory, semiotics, social theory).
Potential topics could include, but are not limited to:
- Disability & Representation in Media
- Disability & Education
- Disability in Literature or Art
- Disability & Gender/Race
- Disability & Superheroes
- Disability & Self Image
- Codifying Disability Practice: Institutions and the Ever-Changing World of Disability.
Twenty-five plus years after the implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, what are the new frontiers in health care and policy that are shaping disability practice? How does the field engage and challenge "best practices" and where do policy makers, health care proponents and activists meet, agree and disagree on the future of Americans with disabilities?
- Film and Media and Disability.
Cultural production and the media have played a key role in shaping disability discourses. What are the contributions to film and media to date, and where are these mediums leading us, and how are they being shaped by larger cultural shifts? What are some of the seminal, and newest contributions that will shape the field in the future?
- The Culture(s) and Theory of Disability.
From its very beginnings, the theory of disability has been shaped both by the manifold cultures of disability, and by the embodiment of disability. What are the newest impacts, or what is the status of disability theory, and how does it respond, for instance, to trends in Gender Studies or Animal Studies?
- Disability, Health Care, and Mental Health/PTSD/CPTSD and Disability.
What are the intersections, insights and outcomes of the latest treatments in health care, theory, and disability studies in dealing with mental health, and in particular, with PTSD and CPTSD? What are the challenges facing all parties dealing with this crisis, and what are the most promising of the many different approaches to this area of Mental Health?
Who can submit? Proposals may come from individual faculty, undergraduate or graduate students, professionals, or independent scholars.
What do I submit?

Some people who need routine health care may drive for miles just to get to a treatment center. If a physician is not available, a nurse practitioner may deliver care to patients. Nurses may assess patients, formulate diagnoses, order lab tests, develop a treatment plan, prescribe drugs..they have been the mainstay of our healthcare system. In terms of the health of our nation, nurses have been taking on a whole new role. Nurses today may have advanced degrees and serve as primary care providers.
Today's healthcare call for an increasing delivery of healthcare. Nursing have a unique expertise to be available for folks at vulnerable times in their lives. Their is an expectation and trust for those in nurses. They lead in the healthcare system. Nurses help doctors improve care per visit, as they take on what physicians would do.

[VIC] FS: E46 330ci Vert
It is with some reluctance that I am putting my car up for sale. It has always served me well and I have only ever had good times with it. It has really low km's for its age, runs like a dream and does not burn any oil.
For those of you who know me, I'm really pedantic about maintenance and have done pretty much every preventative maintenance item out there. This means that whoever ends up buying it should have a car that will serve them well for many years. Roof is in fantastic condition and has no problems going up or down.
Fluids that I use are Motul RBF600 for brake fluid, Redline stuff for gearbox and diff, Mobil 1 0W40 for engine oil and OEM coolant. I serviced the car myself every 3000-5000km due to about half a dozen track days I attended.
Year/Make/Model: 2000 BMW E46 330ci convertible
KM: 114,xxx
Transmission: Manual
Standard Features: Heated seats, electric seats with memory, xenon lights, rear parking sensors, ABS/ASC, 17" M68 wheels with Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 tyres, CD stacker, rain wiper sensors
Extra Features:
- OEM M division two piece front and rear drilled disc brakes. These are around 5,000km old.
- Ground Control Track/School coilovers (
). These cost me a pretty packet to get to Australia and are EXCELLENT. They have a fully constant spring rate to help predictability with handling and the car grips the road like sh1t on carpet. These have done 11,000km since being installed, and the final adjustments and alignments were done by Trutrack suspension.
- Whiteline front and rear sway bars. No body roll
- OEM strut tower reinforcement plates
- OEM ZHP weighted gear leather gear knob
- OEM wind deflector with bag
- Factory colour coded lip spoiler, black kidney grill (OEM silver will be provided)
- Clutch stop adjuster
- Stewart high flow water pump
Had the car for 2.5 years and have done around 25,000km in that time. Car has been serviced very regularly using OEM parts and doesn't have any subframe issues (I checked again last weekend). At 100,000km these maintenance items were conducted: cooling system has been completely replaced with OEM parts and fluids, spark plugs have been replaced, valve cover gasket replaced, gearbox and diff oils flushed, new battery, final stage resistor replaced (113,000km). Engine/Intake/Exhaust are completely stock standard.
I'll throw in the remainder of the service items I have left. There are about five oil filters, a charcoal filter, air filter, fuel filter, full set of OEM disc brakes and pads with 75% meat, all OEM suspension components and an OEM short shift kit that I haven't got around to installing yet. I'll also detail it completely before passing it on to the next owner.
Car pulls really strongly and was dyno'd at 142.6rwkw - not bad for something that puts out 170kw at the engine.
Not really in a rush to sell so happy to take questions, have a bit of a chat or meet up if you would like to check it out in Melbourne. You can PM, email at dan.1337 @gmail.com or contact me via mobile on 0402 502 537.
Includes a RWC and 12 months registration in Victoria. If there are no bites here over the next month, I'll list it on Carsales. I'd prefer to sell it as is, but if you prefer stock suspension I'm happy to swap out the Ground Controls.

BEER OF THE DAY: Resignation Brewery, KCCO (The Chive) Black Lager, Austin, TX
Black Lager is hands down one of my favorite styles of beer.
Also, I enjoy T&A.
Needless to say, I have high expectations for this beer.
Look-Not as dark as I'd expect from a black lager. More of a deep brown. No head to speak of.
Smell-the roasted malt on the nostrils that could be a porter but is also the hallmark of a black lager.
Taste-Toasty on the lips.
Mouth-Medium bodied. Rich malty flavor with a smooth aftertaste.
Overall-Is it the best black lager I've ever had? No. It IS a solid black lager though, and with The Chive's backing, is sure to be here for the long haul.
About KCCO:
A toast lager with notes of chocolate and coffee. Unlike a heavy porter or a stout it's amazingly light, crispy, and sessionable. KCCO Black is a delicious misfit.

Re: ShowLegend....
Generally I dislike Legend, both because it is complicated to manipulate and
because it is just another plot that distracts the viewer from the message
of the main graphic.
If the curves aren't too crowded it is better to label the two curves
directly. Otherwise it is possible to draw the legend directly on the plot.
I would do this with the DrawGraphics package from my web site below.
Here is an example of directly labeling two curves.
{(* Draw and label Sin curve *)
Draw[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}],
Text[Sin[x], {2.5, Sin[2.5]}, {-1.2, 0}],
(* Draw and label Cos curve *)
Draw[Cos[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}],
Text[Cos[x], {1.5, Cos[1.5]}, {1.2, 0}]},
Frame -> True,
Background -> Linen,
PlotLabel -> "Labeling Two Curves",
ImageSize -> 450];
Here is an example of drawing the legends directly on the plot.
{(* Draw and make legend for x^2 curve *)
Draw[x^2, {x, 0, 1}],
Draw[0.95, {x, 0.05, 0.2}],
Text[x^2, {0.25, 0.95}],
(* Draw and make legend for x^3 curve *)
Draw[x^3, {x, 0, 1}],
Draw[0.87, {x, 0.05, 0.2}],
Text[x^3, {0.25, 0.87}]},
Frame -> True,
Background -> Linen,
PlotLabel -> "Making a Legend for Two Curves",
ImageSize -> 450];
With DrawGraphics you can easily combine as many different lines, curves and
graphics directives as you wish in a single drawing statement. It's a
natural way to do it.

There has to be an easier way to do this....
I was trying to figure out how to use showlegend, and here's what I
came out with....
(* plot2 and plot3 are two different plots *)
plotX = Show[ {plot2 , plot3}, PlotRange -> {{ -0.4, 0.4}, {-1, 10}}]
legend = ShadowBox[ {-0.4, 6}, {0.3, 3}, ShadowBackground -> GrayLevel[
0.5], ShadowOffset -> {0.025, -0.5}];
showlegend = Show[ plotX, Graphics[{legend , {
Text["Normal - solid", {-.375, 6.775}, {-1.0, 0}],
Text["Data - dashed", {-.375, 7.775}, {-1.0, 0}]
That is way to much code to just add a legend to a graph.
Is there a faster/easier way to do this?
Is there a way that the legend also includes an example of the line /
Cheers and thanks,

Simple installation, impressive tone. No soldering required for this circuit board.
The ToneShaper Stratocaster SSS-1 is a circuit board prewired for Fender Stratocaster electric guitars. The circuit board features 2 potentiometers and a 5-way switch in a single unit, that is installed in a regular Strat-style pickguard. You can use any pickups of your choice—attach a jack and you've got a complete Strat-style control assembly. ToneShaper SSS-1 is easy to install and gives you flexibility that you can't get with conventional pots or switches. For installation, simply depress the plunger, put the wire in, and release the plunger. You don't need to solder anything.
A series of switches makes the controls do different things. Normally on a Stratocaster, you would have a volume control, a tone control for the neck and a control for the middle. People sometimes want variations in controlling the bridge, middle, and neck pickups individually. With the ToneShaper Stratocaster SSS-1, you can assign the tone controls to whatever pickups you want.
The ToneShaper SSS-1 also selects different capacitor values for each tone control. ToneShaper included 5 polypropylene capacitors, designed by Panasonic, for each tone control. Select these switches to determine which capacitor you want activated for each control. For instance, you could have a vintage point 1 capacitor value selected for the neck and an entirely different value selected for the other pickups. Much like amplifiers or pedals, ToneShaper includes a diagram of the control plate with graphics on how to quickly adjust the neck tone and middle tone, and augment your sound on the fly.
Some people don't want 2-tone controls, so a popular option is to use the dials as a master volume, master tone, and a blender control. If you've got your 5-way switch in the bridge position, you can use the control knobs to add in the neck pickup. This setup has been practiced for years using a mini toggle switch. The downside from this practice is that it would usually mean you are switching the pickup in or out. The features this and other options in one comprehensive unit that rests under your pickguard. With the blender control you can add a little or a lot of the pickup, or even full on. In the 2 position, the blender control adds in the neck and you can have all 3 pickups going.
With a few flips of the switch, the board becomes a series parallel control. Series configuration yields a thicker, warmer, more humbucker tone. Finally, a quick flip of the knob can return the instrument to the natural Stratocaster neck single-coil tone. The unit also includes a removable volume kit—a resister and capacitor wired in parallel across the volume control—so that as you roll off the volume, you don't experience reduction in treble.
As one of the world's premier builders of complete, prewired assemblies for the guitar aftermarket, ToneShaper has done thousands of Stratocaster prewired assemblies, and had the opportunity to learn what people really want in a Strat. The SSS-1 unit features everything ToneShaper has offered in its standard prewired assemblies and then some, adding some additional functions and features that have never been offered before.
- Vintage wiring
- Modern wiring
- Blender wiring
- Series/parallel wiring
- SSH wiring
- Volume kit (may be turned on or off)
- Billy mod
- CTS pots
- CRL 5-way switch
- Switchcraft jack
- CTS DIP switches
Finding the right tone is an art. Order this unit today and explore the sonic range of your Strat.

Comments about ToneShaper Stratocaster SSS-1 Control Knobs and Switch:
Just got this a couple days ago and put it in today. Let me say this went into a USA Highway 101 with Jeff Beck Hot Noiseless pups in the Neck and Middle positions and a S.D Hot Rail in the Bridge. I play through a Vox AC30. I did route the body cavity which is optional, just for the ease of the instant access to the switches without taking a bunch of stuff on to do it all over again. You tracking with me? I did a preliminary test on the volume and tone controls and left the amp on the same starting positions. After the unit was installed I immediately noticed a louder, clearer sound. The tone pots work full circle and not just from 6 to 10. I set mine up with the volume kit and I made the first tone knob for the neck and the second tone for the bridge, not how Leo did it. Fender has the two tone knobs set up for the neck and middle pup. This works wonders for this set up. I am goning to dump the S.D. pup though and put the V.N. Hot back in. P.S, if you put a Hot Rail in your Strat, it doesn't sound like a Strat anymore. I messed with several configurations very quickly and all did exactly what they said it would. The Blend is nice too, still I want to go back to the Fender pup to really use this. This Board just set on the standard Fender stock mode was an instant improvement. Switching the pot values is way cool and helps Mondo for your sound before it even hits your amp. Like I said, I went ahead and routed the body cavity, and this is very nice if you want to change your set up on the fly.
Over all I give it a two thumbs up. There are no cons that I can see. This is a great product for any Strat player who likes tone to start with the guitar. This would make a Squire or MIM just scream on its own, no pup change necessary. I will put this in any Strat I ever buy!! Oh and before I silence my psycho babble, you don't have to solder NOTHING!! Life is good.

On this Missouri Review podcast, we present "Lucy and the Bike Girl" by Hillary Frank, a finalist in our 2009 Audio Competition. Lucy, a 28-year-old with cystic fibrosis, meets the "Bike Girl," who has the same disease, in an internet chat room. They are both, against the advice of friends and doctors, trying to get pregnant. They quickly become friends but can never meet in person, because the Bike Girl carries a bacteria in her lungs that is toxic to anyone with cystic fibrosis. This piece is an experiment in combining fact and fiction. The interview tape is all from a real interview; the narration is semi-fictional.
Hillary Frank is a freelance writer and radio producer, whose work has aired on This American Life, Weekend America, Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Day to Day, Studio 360, Marketplace, and Chicago Matters. She has won awards for her radio stories from the Third Coast International Audio Festival, the Association for Women in Communications, and the National Mental Health Association. She is the author and illustrator of the novels Better Than Running at Night, I Can't Tell You, and the forthcoming The View from the Top. [2010]

haha well it looks good man, i love your rex its a monster, thats the one with the black FMIC correct?
the Ebay SS autochrome fits on your setup with mimimal work. if you're self-motivated or have some good friends, you can get it done. but then there's a question of the lag, the FMIC being too big for small stock turbo, blah blah blah blah. ebay FMIC is about the same cost as new large top mount.
but im going to go look at a 04 wrb wrx this upcoming weekend, and hopefully buy it and start my saving for mods. Right now im trying to figure out what would need to run stageII, it has a catless UP and AP coming with it among other goodies such as 06-07 stocker wheels which i love and prodrive lowering springs so im pumped about it. But the exhaust ive chosen that i want right now is the Invidia G200 titanium tip, but people tell me i need a DP to go stage II and an invidia catted hi flow DP is $519 that seems like a lot
1) Catless Downpipe OR hi-flow Catted Downpipe
2) Catback exhaust
there are always tons of catless downpipes on sale for cheap. Depending on how aggressive the police are out there about the noise, your choice in catbacks will vary. Used is the way to go! NASIOC has a huge classified section.
well after much research and talking to anson ( thanxs btw) I've decided to install the front brembos, sell the rears and use that cash to simply buy a rear upgrade kit like rotora. stoptech ect ect that's designed for the wrx.
use the 2 pot 06 wrx rear brake kit..but I'm not sure how much of an increase in stopping power they have over my oem calipers.
I need to upgrade th rear braking system so I don't throw off the braking ratio.

Zoltan Istvan, founder of the Transhumanist Party, has announced that he will be a contender in the 2016 presidential race. Having set forth many bold ideas in his recent prolific writings, he now embarks on a new mission to bring transhumanist philosophy to politics. We interview him to find out about his views on religion, politics, society, and more.
Researchers at the Royal National Orthopedic hospital have now created a new kind of prosthetic device that interfaces the load-bearing member of a leg prosthesis directly to the endoskeleton.
While the human hand, with four fingers and opposable thumb, is pretty darn awesome, it still falls woefully short when it comes to some tasks — such as opening a soda bottle or peeling a banana. MIT, which is obviously a firm believer that we can and should enhance humans as far as physically possible, has a solution: a wrist-mounted robot that gives you two extra fingers. With the so-called "7 Finger Robot" equipped, you can both grasp a soda bottle and turn the cap at the same time. According to the MIT engineer who led the project, Harry Asada, some users might even begin to perceive the robotic helping fingers as part of their body — "like a tool you have been using for a long time, you feel the robot as an extension of your hand."
An MIT spin-off in Massachusetts, backed by the Gates Foundation, has developed a small, remote-controlled drug-dispensing implant that sits just under your skin. Such an implant could be used to dispense a whole range of useful drugs — but in this case, one of the first commercial applications will be the contraceptive hormone levonorgestrel. A single implant can apparently provide enough levonorgestrel to be effective for 16 years; currently, no implanted contraceptive works for more than five years.
One of the most technically demanding in neurosurgery has just been perfected. Lasers brain sculpting, reliable and safe, is now upon us.
Stanford electrical engineer and biological implant mastermind, Ada Poon, has discovered a way of wirelessly transmitting power to tiny, rice-grain-sized implants that are deep within the human body. This could well be the breakthrough that finally allows for the creation of smaller pacemakers, body-wide sensor networks, and a new class of "electroceutical" devices that sit deep in the human brain and stimulate neurons directly, providing an alternative for drug-based therapies for depression, Alzheimer's, and other neurological ailments.
Scientists have succeeded in creating the first organism with 'alien' DNA. In normal DNA, which can be found within the genes of every organism , the twin strands of the double helix are bonded together with four bases, known as T, G, A, and C. In this new organism, the researchers added two new bases, X and Y, creating a new form of DNA that has never occurred in billions of years of evolution on Earth or elsewhere in the universe. Remarkably, the semi-synthetic alien organism continued to reproduce normally, preserving the new alien DNA during reproduction. In the future, this breakthrough should allow for the creation of highly customized organisms — bacteria, animals, humans — that behave in weird and wonderful ways that mundane four-base DNA would never allow.
Well, here's a Monday morning doozy: It turns out that drinking the blood of the young and innocent may actually improve your strength and intelligence. Two separate research groups, publishing their results in Science and Nature Medicine today, found that transfusing young mouse blood into old mice can improve their cognitive and exercise capability, significantly reducing two major aspects of aging. This effect should also apply to humans. Yes, vampirism is real.
Over the past few years, I've spent quite a lot of time discussing Google's foray into non-search technologies: Wearable computing, robotics, home automation, indefinite life extension, green energy generation — you name it, if it's a technology that even has the slightest chance of blossoming in the next decade or so, Google is all over it. Most observers have explained away these acquisitions and research efforts as having a tangential connection to Google's primary product, search, but I would argue that there's another possibility: Google is gearing up to become its own nation.
Google has invented a new smart contact lens with an integrated camera. By virtue of being part of the contact lens, the camera would naturally follow your gaze, allowing for a huge range of awesome applications, from the basis of a bionic eye system for blind and visually impaired people, through to early warning systems (the camera spots a hazard before your brain does), facial recognition, and superhuman powers (telescopic and infrared/night vision).

Private equity giant KKR has continued its diversification into real estate by closing a new $1.5bn vehicle targeting property in the US and Western Europe.
KKR Real Estate Partners Americas will target property-level equity and debt and businesses with sizeable real estate holdings, and has already made about a dozen deals in the last 18 months according to the firm.
Ralph Rosenberg, KKR's global head of real estate, told Bloomberg, "We have a very deep and robust pipeline of opportunities.
"It's harder to find things today than a year ago, but there is still a whole world of things to do with capital to help reposition assets."
AltAssets reported in June that KKR had made its first real estate investment in Europe by buying a 430,000 square foot UK-based retail park portfolio from Resolution Property.
KKR recently hired the former head of Prudential's real estate arm as it continued diversification from its core buyout business.
In July the firm brought in Martin Moore as one if its army of senior advisors with a responsibility for real estate investments in the UK and Europe.

Rumormill: BMW working on range of front-wheel-drive concepts
Filed under: Europe, Crossover, Hatchback, BMW, Rumormill
When BMW began making noise about bringing front-wheel drive to the table, purists, enthusiasts and fans of the brand immediately busted out the pitchforks and torches. Visions of front-wheel drive 3 Series and 1 Series models were almost enough to induce frenzy (not that a huge number of owners would know the difference…), but if the latest word from BMW Blog is to be believed, the company's front-wheel drive efforts will be contained to a handful of all-new models.
The news comes courtesy of a BMW insider posting on German Car Forum. Supposedly, the main impetus behind delving into a FWD platform isn't to increase the company's average fuel economy as some have guessed. Instead, BMW is looking to make the Mini brand more profitable by sharing platforms with other models under the Roundel.
Those include a new compact BMW roughly the size of a Cooper, as well as an MPV that the insider calls a Compact Gran Sport Tourer. Additionally, there may be room for a crossover-sized front-wheel drive beast as well. Interestingly enough, the report says that the new BMW compact will have proportions similar to those of the Honda CR-Z.
At this point, it's difficult to say whether or not the source from German Car Forum has their facts straight or not, but so far, this is the most detailed glimpse we've gotten into what BMW is up to with its FWD program.

WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge - Medication Safety
Unsafe medication practices and medication errors are a leading cause of injury and health care associated harm around the world. These can occur at different stages of the medication use process. Multiple interventions addressing the reduction of medication errors have already been developed. For these to be effective, a wide mobilization of stakeholders supporting sustained actions is required. In response to this, WHO has identified Medication Safety as the theme for the next Global Patient Safety Challenge.
The WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge - Medication Safety will propose solutions to address many of the obstacles the world faces today to ensure the safety of medication practices. Medication safety is a broad and complex area within patient safety. WHO's goal for this Global Patient Safety Challenge is to achieve widespread engagement and commitment of WHO Member States and professional bodies around the world to reducing the harm associated with medication.
The WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge – Medication Safety is coordinated by the WHO Patient Safety and Quality Improvement unit, of the Service Delivery and Safety department, in collaboration with WHO department of Essential Medicines and Health Products. The WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge on Medication Safety is in advanced stages of development and is planned to be launched in the first quarter of 2017.

Dentistry Today is pleased to present our Practice Pyramid Series, to assist today's practitioners. Various leading clinicians will be featured, demonstrating the application of new technologies. Dr. Lou Shuman and Amy Morgan, both of the Pride Institute, will provide technological product introductions and practice management implications in each article. All technologies presented in this series are 2009 Pride Institute "Best of Class" Technology Winners, chosen through an unbiased assessment selection process in conjunction with a known technology expert, Dr. Larry Emmott.
I can't tell you how many times I have heard from my patients: "Dr. Ruiz, can you do my work without anesthesia? I hate the feeling of being numb." One of the best practice builders is painless anesthesia, and with proper technique, pain during the anesthetic injections should be very little. However, still remaining is the other really unpleasant part of being anesthetized, the 4 to 5 hours of postoperative numbness. We all dislike this part, and this unpleasantness is in many cases responsible for keeping our patients away from doing necessary dental treatment. In some cases, patients may even cancel an appointment if they suspect it may interfere with an important activity after their dental visit. Well, now we have a cutting-edge new drug, phentolamine mesylate (OraVerse [Novalar]), that may be the solution to these problems.
Figure 1. Supragingival preparation for a partial coverage all-ceramic onlay replacing the fractured cusp.
Figure 2. Restoration after cementation with a resin cement.
Figure 3. Preoperative view showing 2 old veneers with staining and poor morphology.
Figure 4. Immediate postoperative view of gingivectomy and temporary veneers.
|Figure 5. One-week postoperative view of 2 bonded porcelain veneers.
OraVerse is an FDA-approved anesthesia reversal drug which cuts the postoperative numbness time in half, and often even faster, without any known serious side effects. It is injected in a 1:1 ratio to the anesthetic quantity administered, after the procedure is finished.
OraVerse can be used for the most basic dental procedures where we would expect a minimum postoperative pain, such as hygiene procedures, fillings, and the preparation and cementation of supragingival indirect restorations (ie, porcelain onlays, veneers, and all-ceramic crowns). It should not be used on procedures where considerable post-operative pain is expected, such as after a crown preparation with deep retraction cord placement, periodontal surgery, endodontic procedures or oral surgery. In these cases, a longer postoperative numbness is desirable for the patient's comfort. In all cases, it would be wise to recommend that the patient take 400 mg to 800 mg of ibuprofen to minimize any discomfort after the anesthesia is reversed.
How Phentolamine Mesylate Is Used in Our Practice
I have a busy private practice and implementation of new procedures or new things learned are important keys to success. OraVerse can be a great adjunctive service and practice builder which will enhance the patient's perception of the practice and the value received for fees charged. It is important to understand that, although there is a small profit associated with it, its true value is as a practice builder in providing a new way to improve the overall dental experience for our patients.
Educating and informing our patients is always vital in implementing any new technique or technology, so in my practice we have placed a large display informing our patients that "Having a 'fat lip' for hours after your dental appointment is a thing of the past! Ask us about OraVerse." We have also included quotes in our reception area slide presentation from satisfied patients who have experienced the positive effects of OraVerse. In our practice, anesthesia reversal is offered as an optional procedure. We charge a nominal fee to cover the cost of the drug and the additional time it will take to do the injection. The following clinical examples demonstrate how successful this additional service can be within the scope of many clinical procedures.
|Now, Who Pays the Bill—Or Would That Be Fee?
Anesthesia Reversal Agents
Tom M. Limoli, Jr
A very successful and busy 40-year-old TV producer was scheduled to do a porcelain onlay preparation on tooth No. 18 due to caries and a fractured disto-bucal cusp. After being seated, the patient stated that the only reason she was present at her appointment was because we offered the anesthesia reversal procedure. This is because she had an important meeting that evening, approximately 4 hours later, and she did not want to be numb for the event. I was careful not to promise that the anesthesia would be completely gone by the time of the meeting, but she was assured that with OraVerse, she should experience at least a 50% reduction the time she would feel the effect of the local anesthetic. We performed the supragingival preparation (Figure 1), and the following day she sent us an e-mail thanking us for offering OraVerse. Furthermore, she said that she wanted to have OraVerse administered after every subsequent procedure. Two weeks later, the restoration was cemented (Figure 2). If we had performed a traditional PFM crown, we would have had to place retraction cord in the gingival sulcus. If the patient had had considerable postoperative pain, this would have made the use of OraVerse less desirable, and as a result she may not have had a positive experience. Supragingival bonded restorations have many advantages, are typically easier to perform with less postoperative pain, and are much more gentle to the gingival tissue than any traditional subgingival PFM crown and bridge procedure.1
|The Technological Implications of OraVerse

Such events have apparently been very uncommon with OraVerse. Clinicians should be alert to the signs and symptoms of these events, particularly in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease.
The next case was an actress and dancer in her late twenties who wanted to replace 2 porcelain veneers because of marginal staining and to improve form (Figure 3). The treatment plan included gingivectomy on the 2 centrals to improve gingival symmetry. She had been informed about OraVerse, and although she had requested to have it used at the time of the veneer preparations, I recommended against it. This is because I knew she would have postoperative pain after the gingivectomy (Figure 4). After the gingiva healed, the restorative work was finished. OraVerse was used during the final impressions and for final cementation of the supragingival veneers. The patient was very happy with the aesthetic results and the much reduced post-treatment anesthesia time (Figure 5).

The doctor and team must be prepared to "inform before they perform" to make sure:
Your assistants will need to manage the inventory, and the entire team will need to be comfortable with the benefits so that they can inspire patients to embrace this new innovation. They must also be comfortable with the additional fee.
It is rare when I can use myself as an example of a satisfied patient, but this is one of those cases. Recently, I had to have a minor bilateral procedure on the maxillary arch. I was anesthetized for the procedure with one carpule of Septocaine (1:100,000 epinephrine) (Septodont) in each side. Immediately after the procedure was finished, I received one injection of OraVerse on the right side, and (by choice) nothing on the left. The left side was numb for 5 hours while the right side was back to normal within 1 hour. I had slight pain on the OraVerse side at the injection site (this is normal and expected) and took 2 (200 mg) ibuprofen tablets that took care of the pain in about 20 minutes. I wanted to experience first-hand the benefits of phentolamine mesylate. I am one of those patients who hates the feeling of being numb long after the treatment is done, and would use OraVerse every time that it is indicated.
When used as indicated, this new anesthesia reversal agent is an effective way to reduce the amount of time a patient feels numbness related to the administration of local anesthetics. It is a practice builder giving doctors an effective way to help their patients realize a more comfortable dental experience.

Why are my LED Map Lights Flashing?
I just installed white led lights into my car (2009 CTS) to replace the incandescent light bulbs and I'm having one issue! Whenever a car door is open the map lights will briefly flash on and off for an instant and repeat that process once every about 15 seconds until the door is shut. Now when I turn my car off and exit the car they will continue to flash as long as my exit lights would stay on. It's not a huge deal but if it's able to be fixed then that would obviously be nice. A couple other pieces of info, I don't know if this matters or not in this situation, when I first installed the led map lights they would turn very dim and have a "strobe" effect I then turned on my ignition and they worked fine, the other issue is that my exit lights will not turn on when leaving the vehicle (except for the courtesy lights in the bottom of the doors) this is not a big deal at all but I didn't know if that pertained to this issue at all. Thank you for your help!
Re: Why are my LED Map Lights Flashing?
The map lights do that cool auto dim thing which works well with incandescent lamps and not so well with some LED's replacements which shut off at some voltage threshold.
Re: Why are my LED Map Lights Flashing?
Is there any fixing it? Is it bad for the car? Also, is there a reason my interior lights don't turn on when I turn my car off or open the doors to get in? Thank you!
Re: Why are my LED Map Lights Flashing?
I've seen this problem before. If unplugging and reinstalling the light does not fix the problem it might be the bulbs. Are you using SMD's or leds. I switched to all SMDs and have had no problems. The bulbs I'm using in my 2012 came from my 2010 when I traded it in so they have been doing very good. I have them in every light in the car.

Re: Why are my LED Map Lights Flashing?
Voltage fluctuation. often occurs when you're using cheap LED bulbs. Contact the manufacturer. A diode will usually fix this.
Correction I missed the autodim function. The voltage drops, LEDs need constant voltage. Lose the LEDS or lose the Autodim.
Re: Why are my LED Map Lights Flashing?
You're exactly right daign, I chose to lose the autodim.

I got my CCW after someone told me "little old him" had one so I figured I should research and see if I should get one.

When I took my CCW course, I had to request time off. My Supervisor wanted to know why I needed the time off. Since our unit was wayyyyy understaffed at the time, I had to tell her. Unfortunately, she had mentioned it to several people that I had my CWP. I did not like the fact that people knew that I carried and told her so. One of my co-workers kept harassing me until I told her to go bite one....in a professional manner of course. She thought that I was PARANOID.
The good part is now one nurse will be taking her class this weekend. And three others will be soon. All of them basically felt that if little ol' me could do it, then they could too. We have seen enough victims to know that we don't want that to happen to us. Glad to know that some good has come from it.

At most workplaces you have to figure that if anyone knows, everyone knows. So if there's anyone who might not be okay with it, don't tell anyone.
Plus, if you ever get a workplace shooting, you'll be the first target if everyone knows. Hooray.
As much as I like evangelizing guns and CCW, little good can come from telling coworkers that you carry, and huge problems can result. Can you imagine what you'd be put through if they decided to fire you, and the management thought of you as the gun nut?
TK, your post is interesting in a couple areas, If you do not have personal time or vacation time due I understand your boss inquireing why you want time off but if you have it comming it is no one's business why you need to use it. Personal time is personal time and your boss is very nosy and out of line. No matter why your staff is low, poor management decisions,cheap management, poor conditions which drive good workers away or you guys may be of an expertise that it hard to find qualified people too bad if you have time off coming it is yours to take at your convince not when someone "gifts" you the time off.
Second area is your co-workers. I know in the medical field there is a huge push to be anti-gun. I would look the (assuming most of the nurses are gals) gals in the eye and say " I refuse to be a victim in the case of an attempt on my life or freedom" I can not find the link but this month maybe in the latest NRA magazine is an excellent article about refusing to be a lay down victim who simply submits to violence because the current crop of criminals have no respect for your life and very well may kill or maim you if they feel that you do not have enough money on you or HIV positive rapist simply kill you with an infection which will claim your life in the years to come. If one of the nurses says your paranoid, just bring in some crime statistics in your area, smile..hold your head high, again, " I refuse to be a victim and am pro-active in my personal saftey for me and my loved ones"
Hold your head high, and keep your chin up, you did good telling your co-worker to bite one. I am guessing she is a liberal who avoids facts and lives her life on emotional fear.
Congratulations on being the lead so some of the others feel safe starting to take some personal accountability for protection. You may find that you new CWP people can start your own "gals night out" shooting. One of our local indoor ranges had a Gals night, very popular with gals who just want to shoot with other gals so they can learn and practice together. Hats off to ya.
Except in a region where open carry is accepted as common practice (in which case secrecy is pointless), I can see no upside to people outside of family members knowing I carry. The bottom line is: need to know. Few folks have that.The good and the bad of revealing you carry.
Now, having discussions about self-defense, situational awareness, the inane nature of victim disarmament policies and laws ... that has merit.
Hopefully the good will continue to outweigh the bad, in your situation.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Out side of my family not too many know that I carry. My fishing buddy knows and once asked if I would kill a snake that kept swimming toward the boat. I told him to just whack it with the landing net and it would go away.
My general plan is no one at work except for true gun totting friend know. That said, sounds like you got some converts. I also don't discuss that I make holsters for handguns.
"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" - George S. Patton.
Sounds good that it made a couple of them think about it. You are right, at least something useful came out of it. Maybe you can go to the range with them on the weekend and help the others see how much fun it is. Depends on your relationship with those coworkers, of course.
eschew obfuscation

Exactly right! In fact, it is against the law I believe for HR, your boss or any supervisor at work to ask you why you need time off, a day off or whatever id you are given PTO time just for the reason of if they don't like the answer they can lay you off or fire you based on the ccw class. What YOU do on YOUR time off is YOUR business. People knowing you ccw is big business that could cause problems down the line.
That's great that others now have interest but it doesn't excuse your boss.
Train and train hard, you might not get a second chance to make a first impression!
I vote for Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President.....Not!
Well I too would prefere that nobody at work knew I carried but it is a small office and everyone knows about everything about everybody around here. That said I have always been a very big "gun person" so everyone that knows me has to figure I am armed. As are they probably. I will also say that I do not believe that I have one single anti gun friend or family member. I have several that do not feel the need to carry but they are all pro gun folks.
So the only anti gun people I might know are clients or others I do business with and they sure do not need to know. However in your situation the cat is out of the bag so continue to support your case and let those that ask know why you choose life and freedom over fear.
Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not."

Couldn't you have simply said that you needed to take a self defense class, or better yet, a personal enrichment seminar? Other folks knowing that you CCW is not good, IMO.

It is related to your continued well-being, after all.

Not really. In most companies the vacation schedule is not necessarily when you want to take time off but rather if it can be worked out with the other workers. If every employee requests a days vacation on the same day the boss has every right to ask why and either grant or deny it. I have run into this before when several wanted vacation at the same time and we worked it out. If you don't want them to know why you are asking for time off you can say personal or make up some excuse but don't expect it to be granted. Every company I have ever worked for says that vacation is granted when reasonable but there is no real definition of reasonable.
Folks here at work know I hunt but DO NOT know I carry. I took my CCW course on a Saturday so no need to ask for time but if I had needed to, I would have been extremely vague or given a generic excuse.
All my fellow workers are with little or no SA. Of course I work in an extremely safe Gun Free Zone so that adds another layer of need-to-know. I don't carry on site and can only imagine how "they" would react if they knew I was CCW . Probably always looking me over to make sure I wasn't carrying.
Ahhh, putting all my support behind HB2628 in the AZ legislature.

Yesterday I walked into the McDonald's at Jackson Square to report for duty for the annual McHappy Day.
I have been helping with McHappy Day as long as I have been in radio, which is a while, although I missed the first few which started in 1977.
Nadia the manager was working on her 14th.
In case you live under a rock, and not near a golden arches, that's where $1. from the sale of every Big Mac, Happy Meal and drink go to help Ronald McDonald House children's charities.
The one day fund raiser has earned over $35 million for local children's charities across Canada since its inception.
Every day 10 cents from every McHappy Meal goes to the charity, totaling $34 million so far.
This is a charity close to my heart.
Back in the 90's I raised over $50,000 for the Hamilton Ronald McDonald House when I was Frozen Alive in a block of ice for 48 hours.
Long story…
My kids love the idea I was behind the counter and steal my complimentary apron as soon as I walk in the door, right after they ask me 'where's the food?'
Thank you if you participated!

Works with the Motorola Xoom, with the standard firmware. Haven't tried the ADK fimrware with either my Xoom or my Epic yet…
What's the melting point for this blend?
Probably answered my own second question: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/116 , for example, right?
Possibly dumb question, but: all the images except that last seem to show the board without pins soldered on. The last one shows it in a breadboard, so it must have pins soldered on there.
Does the board come with pins, or do I need to get my own and solder them on? Where's a good place to get those pins, regardless of the previous answer?
No public wish lists :(

1/64th scale River boat model kit perfect for S scale
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.

- Sold Date: Jan 08, 2011
- Channel: Auction House
Up for auction is a mint, never assembled Lindberg "Southern Belle" 1/64th scale river boat plastic model kit. The kit is complete with all parts and instructions. This is from Lindberg's "Classic Replica" series and is a very difficult kit to find. I bought this for my S scale layout and then switched back to HO scale, so I never got a chance to use it. The boat is a stern wheeler and once assembled will be 12" long and over 5" tall and also comes with 2 figures. I will ship to the lower 48 United States only.


text: It began when the power started getting erratic. On starting sometimes the engine would turn over slowly, and it would take a while to get it started. Then the clock would reset to 12:00. We finally could not start it at all, so we installed a new battery. However, the problem is still there, unchanged. The engine slowly turns over a few times, but will not start. When you open the door the bell rings until you close it, so there is some power getting through. I know very little about auto repair, but I would like to have some idea of what is causing the problem and what I can do to fix it.

Do You Believe in God?

The best leaders lead from the front. They don't delegate, abdicate or relegate the heavy lifting to "subordinates."
Hormones Energy Drinks Jesus = the rapid spread of the gospel!
If Jesus were on Twitter what 140 character message do you think he would send to you?
Although it is in good working condition few think to use it. What is the dusty bazooka hidden in the closet? It is prayer.
Most teenagers today don't believe that any one being can own the exclusive way to God. The words of Jesus is John 14:6 make many of them squirm
If you truly love God you, like Paul, won't be able to shut up about him. You'll share the good news out of the overflow of his love for you
Youth leaders will spend more time in the prayer closet and less time shopping for the latest youth ministry BSO's (Bright Shiny Objects)
The pay is great … when you get to heaven.
This verse makes it abundantly clear that the temptation of sexual immorality is just like a bowl of hot, steaming stew waiting to steal a believer's birthright.
"All you gotta do is say this prayer." Saying a prayer never saved anybody. It's faith alone in Christ alone based on his finished work on the cross that regenerates the lost soul.
When the teens in your youth ministry begin to share their faith they will pray harder and worship louder. Many of them will read the Bible more diligently and walk in dependence on God more willingly.
"What are you thankful for?" That's it. That's my "brilliant" idea for sharing the gospel in a simple and natural way this Thanksgiving
Jesus was not cool. He was not fashionable. He was not attractive during His time or anytime for that matter. We must remember that the call of Christ is the call to be uncool.
Have you lost the spark? Do you have a bad case of EMMS (Endless Ministry Meetings Syndrome) and has it doused your fire of desire to reach the lost for Christ?
I'm hearing the rustling of God's Spirit toward revival from all sorts of ministries from my missions focused friends to local church pastors to college ministry leaders.
If you are a believer in Jesus then you should be overly generous when your doorbell rings. Give fistfuls of candy, not a breathmint taped to a gospel of John.
When it comes to evangelism, a mission statement can turn from big black letters on a church marquee to a little, white lie that the church is telling the community. Strike that … it's a big lie.
One of the things I love about kids is their propensity for forthrightness. Too many times too many adults try to be tricky when it comes to sharing their faith.
Clarity matters, especially when it comes to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
The same cross that saves us gives us the power to have victory over sin in our lives on a practical level. But, if we are honest, our practical sanctification is never a complete 180.
Here's a good basic rule of thumb: if it is something that Hitler is more likely to do than Jesus, it's probably a bad idea.
I am not a Catholic, but I am a priest. And, if you're a believer in Jesus, then so are you.
I've had awkward moments as a pastor. I've had them as a counselor. I've had them as a traveling evangelist.
Why would I resign from what many consider to be the most powerful position in a church ("the pastor") to pursue highly distracted and super twitchy teens?

Two Thai teachers' perceptions of cooperative learning
Nuntrakune, Tippawan, Nason, Rodney, & Kidman, Gillian C. (2009) Two Thai teachers' perceptions of cooperative learning. In Jeffery , Peter (Ed.) AARE 2008 Conference Papers Collection, Australian Association for Research in Education, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane .
Conference Paper

Published Version.
View at publisher (open access)
Over the past decade, the need for educational reform in Thailand has become increasingly apparent. The strong tradition of teacher-directed instruction has been the major teaching and learning style in Thai education. Recent policy changes have focused on expanding education opportunities, the implementation of compulsory education and also on more student-centered pedagogies (Carter, 2006). A suggested way of bringing about the changes necessary to improve the standard of education in primary schools and retention rates is to incorporate cooperative learning into Thai primary school classrooms.
The action research in this study proceeded in four stages. There were pre-implementation interviews of teachers, teacher preparation, implementation of program, and post-implementation evaluation. This study focused on the two Thai teachers' perceptions about the benefits of cooperative learning and the roles of the teachers in cooperative learning classroom.
The study found that the two teachers had constructed different levels of perceptions about the benefits of cooperative learning and the roles of the teacher. These findings indicated that Thai teachers who are relatively inexperienced, lacking in confidence and with little or no experience with group work strategies such as peer tutoring need alternative, less intense professional development programs conducted over a period of a semester than the professional development program implemented in this study. In addition to being conducted over a longer period of time, the findings also indicate that alternative teacher professional programs need to provide additional workshops to improve their understanding of cooperative learning and the teachers' roles.

Even trailer towing, per se, will not overheat a transmission. What overheats a transmission is slippage, pure and simple. When the torque converter is unlocked, and the input speed does not equal the output speed, the transmission is in a state of slip. This is normal and fine, but when in this state excessively, the fluid will get hot.
City driving and slow speed driving (stop and go) will do the most to heat up a transmission. Of course, towing can exaserbate this phenomenon through increased load on the engine and transmission. But in general, towing won't necessarily add more heat to the transmission, especially over long distances on the highway. As long as that torque converter is locked up, the transmission will stay relatively cool.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - For their outstanding efforts in helping the No. 10 Tennessee Lady Vol swimming & diving team knock off No. 2 Florida last weekend, the Southeastern Conference selected sophomore Lindsay Gendron as its Swimmer of the Week and Molly Hannis as the Freshman of the Week.
Gendron was victorious in every event she competed in versus the Gators, as broke a Tennessee record in the 1000y free and notched NCAA B-cut times in each of her four events.
She won the 1000y free after touching in at 9:39.33, topping the previous-best readout of 9:40.65 set by Aleksa Akerfelds at last season's league meet. The time ranks second in the NCAA this season and is an Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center pool record.
The Bloomington, Ill., product also swam the country's 10th-fastest 200y free time with a first-place clocking of 1:46.45, while her 500y free mark of 4:55.37 ranks 14th. All three of her individual times (200y free, 500y free and 1000y free) rank in the top five of the conference.
Gendron, along with Jenny Connolly, Kelsey Floyd and Caroline Simmons combined for the victory in the 400y free relay with a time of 3:21.43
During the 2011-12 campaign, Gendron took the top spot in 22 dual-meet events, as she has won all but two events.
Like Gendron, Hannis claimed first in every event she took part in. Individually she won the 100y and 200y breast events, while also swimming a leg on the first-place 200y medley relay squad.
All three of times were season bests for Hannis and B-cut times, highlighted by her 100y breast time of 1:01.15 being the fastest readout in the nation last week. The time also ranks her sixth all-time on the UT performers list.
The 200y medley relay quartet of Hannis, Connolly, Floyd and Simmons combined to touch in at 1:38.72, which is the ninth best in Lady Vol history. Hailing from Santa Rosa, Calif., the freshman's 200y breast time of 2:14.35 is good for ninth on the performers list.
Tennessee has now won SEC Swimmer of the Week for two consecutive weeks, as Floyd was bestowed the award a week ago. It is also the sixth time the Lady Vols have been honored, as Hannis has already been named the Freshman of the Week twice and Tori Lamp earned Diver of the Week on Jan. 10.
UT will host the 2012 SEC Championships that will be held over Feb. 15-18.
