New Delhi: We are very sad to bring this news to our readers, but it is inevitable. The popular villain loved in Bollywood in the 80s and 90s, Bob Cristo, of Australian origin, has unfortunately left this world, and went to find a better place. The actor died in Bangalore yesterday afternoon, at the age of 72 years old.
Yesterday, he complained of chest pain, and was immediately rushed to the hospital, the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research. Once arrived here, the doctors immediately took care of him, and performed an angioplasty, but no improvements appeared in his condition and in the end, he passed away.
The actor came to India only to meet Parveen Babi, but ended up playing in films. In his long and prolific career, he acted in more than 200 films. In 1980, he made his debut with the film "Abdullah", by Sanjay Khan. Other films on his list were "Mr. India", "Gumrah", "Qurbani", Several years ago, he moved to Bangalore to live the rest of his life in peace and comfort.

Increased temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns as a result of climate change are widely recognized to entail potentially serious consequences for human health, including an increased risk of diarrheal diseases. This study integrates historical data on temperature and rainfall with the burden of disease from cholera in Tanzania and uses socioeconomic data to control for the impacts of general development on the risk of cholera. The results show a significant relationship between temperature and the incidence of cholera. For a 1 degree Celsius temperature increase the initial relative risk of cholera increases by 15 to 29 percent. Based on the modeling results, we project the number and costs of additional cases of cholera that can be attributed to climate change by 2030 in Tanzania for a 1 and 2 degree increase in temperatures, respectively. The total costs of cholera attributable to climate change are shown to be in the range of 0.32 to 1.4 percent of GDP in Tanzania 2030. The results provide useful insights into national-level estimates of the implications of climate change on the health sector and offer information which can feed into both national and international debates on financing and planning adaptation.
With continuous and increasing rates of morbidity associated with waterborne diseases, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa [
There is increasing emphasis on quantifying the health impacts from climate change [
This vulnerability to current climate variability and future climate change can be reduced by means of adaptation. Adaptation, broadly defined, would include all current and future activities or interventions that reduce or prevent additional cases of disease or deaths attributable to climate change [
There exist several reviews and studies of the costs of health intervention programmes which address the prevention of climate-related diarrhea and cholera [
Specifically, this article focuses on Tanzania, where several major cholera epidemics have occurred in recent decades [
Historical data on deaths and cases of cholera were acquired from the Ministry of Health in Dar es Salaam. Two data sets were available. One data set covering cholera cases throughout the country on a monthly basis between January 1998 and December 2004, while a second data set for cholera cases and deaths were available on an annual basis for the whole of Tanzania (1977 to 2004), as well as for 21 of its regions (1998 to 2004). The climate variables were acquired from the Tanzania Meteorological Agency, and include rainfall (monthly totals in millimeters) and temperatures (monthly mean of daily minimum and maximum temperatures). The variables represent the average of 19 weather stations throughout the country. In addition to climate and health variables, socioeconomic data [

Note: The panel dataset was formed from data on 21 units (regions) for 7 years.
The rather limited reliability of the econometric analyses due to the reduced number of observations (7 years) in the datasets should be acknowledged in advance. The dataset containing data aggregated at the monthly level allowed the observation of any seasonal trend in cholera cases and climate variables that cannot be observed with the annual data. Looking at the data, it was observed that a seasonal pattern seems to exist between June and October when lower minimum/maximum temperatures and lower total rainfall coincide with lower cases of cholera (
Seasonal distribution of cholera cases in Tanzania.
In order to analyze the magnitude of the burden of cholera attributable to climate change, it is useful to decide on the different scenarios that the analysis will be based on. For this purpose, climate-change predictions for the specific locality, as well as population growth and economic development, will need to be considered. The approach used in this study follows the methodological framework suggested by Chiabai
Seasonal distribution of rainfall in Tanzania: Monthly averages (mm).
As the projections for diarrheal diseases are not released at country levels but are only available at the regional level, the initial step was to downscale the projected number of deaths at the country level. This was done using the projections of Mathers and Loncar [
Lastly, to supplement the estimated deaths and cases, a measure of population health has been estimated by combining data on mortality and non-fatal health outcomes into a single figure. For this purpose, Disability-Adjusted Life-Years (DALY) was applied. Several other measures, besides DALY, have been devised in the literature, including the Quality-Adjusted Life Year (QALY), Disability-Adjusted Life Expectancy (DALE) and the Healthy Life Year (HeaLY) [
DALY measures disease burden and combines years of life lost (YLL) from premature deaths with years of life lived with disabilities (YLD).
The second scenario,
Calculations of the burden of disease attributable to climate change are based on the Impact Fraction suggested by McMichael
where IFi is defined as the impact fraction attributable to climate change for disease i; Pi is the proportion of the population exposed to the disease; and RRi is the relative risk of the disease under different climate scenarios.
In order to investigate trends in the seasonal pattern, regression analyses, using Stata/SE version 10.1 for Windows, were conducted where a dummy variable, 'drought', equals 1 between June and October and zero at other times. A time-trend variable was also used to capture the possible socio-economic effects on cholera cases that were not available at the month level. For example, it seems reasonable to assume that the population, the percentage of the population with access to safe water and sanitation, education levels and income all grew over time between 1998 and 2004.
In order to investigate the potential relationship between climate variability and cases of cholera to identify the relative risk, Poisson regression analysis was initially used (similar to others in the field; see e.g., Singh
where health endpoint is the incidence of cholera cases or deaths in period t (month or year); climate variable represents rainfall or temperature; and X is a vector of socioeconomic factors that may explain the health endpoint (population growth, GDP, water and sanitation coverage, literacy rate and cassava production per capita). For each dataset, different models have been tested with specifications combining all the available explanatory variables. The preferred models were chosen according to the level of significance of regressors in each model and the goodness-of-fit of each model (log-likelihood; Wald chi-squared; and Akaike and Bayesian information criteria). Details of the preferred models are given in Annex 1. A time-trend variable was integrated into the model to capture the effect of other socioeconomic variables that potentially influence cholera cases and that were absent from this dataset.
In the context of assessing the total costs of health impacts attributable to climate change, several measures will need to be taken into account. These include preventive and reactive adaptation measures, in addition to the costs of residual damages. In the case of cholera (and many other health issues), it is far from realistic to assume that preventive adaptation measures can reduce the risk of disease equivalent to the additional risk of disease due to climate change. Hence some costs are expected to be allocated to reactive adaptation measures in terms of cholera cases continuing to be treated after preventive adaptation measures have been put in place. Nevertheless, only a certain proportion of health impacts are assumed to be reduced with adaptation measures, and the costs of residual damages in terms of morbidity and mortality which cannot be avoided with adaptation measures need to be included in the total costs of the impacts. All costs are calculated at constant 2006 US dollar rates.
Preventive adaptation measures, which in the case of cholera are thought of mainly in the form of hygiene, water and sanitation programmes [
The cholera cases that remain after preventive adaptation measures have been introduced are treated with reactive measures. First, information on cost estimates and the management of a cholera patient admitted to a hospital was obtained from the Tanzanian Ministry of Health in Dar es Salaam. Cholera patients are not treated as outpatients but isolated in a special cholera ward or unit during treatment. Treatment on average takes five days per case and includes infusions, oral rehydration salt, and antiseptics. In addition to treating the cholera patient, people who have had contact with cholera patients are placed under surveillance for five days and given preventive treatment or therapy as outpatients. The total unit cost per case of managing a cholera-admitted, patient including treatment, cost of bed, personnel and outpatient surveillance, is, according to the Ministry of Health, US $98. In the cost estimates in this study, it is assumed that all cases that remain after the introduction of preventive measures are treated with reactive measures. The additional costs of reactive adaptation measures are therefore calculated by multiplying the number of cases attributable to climate change (calculated for
Ideally, the cost estimates of reactive adaptation measures do not represent the total value of the additional costs of climate change, since loss of productivity should be included in estimating the direct total costs of illness (costs of treatment, plus loss of productivity). Therefore, the costs of morbidity include productivity losses that remain after the introduction of preventive adaptation measures. These losses are calculated from daily wages multiplied by days out of work as a result of being sick. For this purpose, the average weighted wage for a person aged fifteen and above is based on the employment figures given in the Tanzanian Integrated Labor Force Survey 2006 [
To account for the loss of lives attributable to climate change, a GDP-adjusted Value of Statistical Life (VOSL) method has been used. Broadly VOSL measures individual willingness to pay to reduce the risk of death and it has been used widely in environmental economics to value mortality impacts [
Finally, the total economic costs of cholera attributable to climate change are estimated by totaling the costs of reactive adaptation and the costs of impacts remaining after the introduction of preventive adaptation measures. The costs of impacts are estimated from cases (productivity losses) and deaths. As previously mentioned, the costs of preventive measures are not included in the calculations of total costs of cholera attributable to climate change, since these cost measures are assumed to be implemented in line with Tanzania's national development objectives. The GDP share of total cost in Tanzania by 2030 has been calculated on the basis of GDP projections for annual GDP growth rates for Sub-Saharan Africa [
The pair-wise correlation analysis showed that cholera cases are positively correlated with minimum temperature, maximum temperature and their one-month lags (all statistically significant). The linear correlation between cholera cases and total rainfall was not significant. This result suggests that cholera cases in Tanzania might be better explained by temperatures than by rainfall. The results using the dataset gathered per month (
The risk ratio was estimated to be equal to 1.29 using the monthly data set. In other words, an increase in temperature equal to 1 degree Celsius would increase the relative risk for cholera cases in Tanzania by 29 percent. Using the annual data for all Tanzania's regions (the panel of regions), temperature also explained cholera cases better (

The total number of cases is expected to increase from the baseline of 369,783 cases up to as many as 615,356 cases, with an additional 245,573 cases for the upper boundary scenario, given a 2 degree Celsius temperature increase by year 2030. For the more moderate scenario with only 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature, still with the upper boundary scenario, the additional number of cases will be 107,237. For the most moderate scenario, namely lower boundary and 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature, the additional number of cases attributed to climate change will be 55,467. With regard to deaths, the numbers will increase from the baseline of 11,759 deaths to 19,568 for the upper boundary scenario with a 2 degree Celsius temperature increase. This is equal to an additional 7,809 deaths attributable to climate change. For the most moderate scenario, the additional number of deaths is limited to 1,764.

There are few detailed studies of adaptation costs in the health sector, and this study is the first to link cases of cholera to environmental and socioeconomic factors in predicting climate change impacts to cholera in Tanzania and assessing the related costs. Unlike earlier studies costing adaptation, this study does not keep the baseline incidence of disease fixed at current levels. Instead it incorporates a future baseline disease burden, which implies a reduction in the incidence rates that may be primarily attributed to economic growth and developments that the health sector would undergo in the future. However, accurate cost estimates require robust impact assessments and, given the lack of consistent long-term datasets, the reliability of the econometric analyses is to some extent limited. It is likely that, with more time-specific data available on health and climate variables, the results could show even stronger impacts.
In addition, the impacts of climate variability on the burden of disease in the form of cholera are complex and dependent on a number of risk factors from local socio-environmental conditions. For a waterborne disease, the results presented in this paper may seem high, with a 15 to 29 percent increase in the relative risk per degree Celsius, in comparison to the 5 percent increase as predicted by WHO [
The cost estimates used for reactive adaptation are based on unpublished data from the Tanzanian Ministry of Health. These costs are considerably higher than the costs of treating diarrhea since diarrheal patients can be treated as outpatients, while treatment of cholera has to include hospitalization for an average of five days per case, as well as the cost of surveillance of other people than the patient. In Zambia, average inpatient costs for diarrhea are estimated to by USD 78 per bed day [
In estimating total costs, the costs of preventive measures were not included, since it was assumed that these would be implemented along with general socio-economic development and according to Tanzania's national goals of near-universal water and sanitation coverage by 2025. Accordingly, improved sanitation and hygiene facilities are vital components of the planning and provision of water supply services [
Another problem arising from the cost estimates is the issue of valuing costs that take the form of increases in mortality [
The results presented in this article, despite their limitations, increase our understanding of the implications of climate change on health impacts in Tanzania, and provide indications of cost implications imposed by the additional burden of cholera.
Integrating both climate variables and socioeconomic variables in one model confirms that conditions of human health are influenced by many factors and cannot be addressed in isolation. The results of these effects in relation to the impacts of climate change suggest that it would be highly beneficial to improve socioeconomic indicators, including access to water and sanitation, even more quickly than originally planned. The existing time frame for water and sanitation programmes is challenged, with considerable benefits to be gained from more rapid implementation than originally planned. This also includes health education, levels of health service systems and disease surveillance, in addition to measures for early diagnosis and prompt treatment, and the control or prevention of epidemics. Such health-based measures should be viewed in the context of broader development, where the main means to adapt is improvements in general living standards. There is unquestionably a wide array of other benefits for improving performance on these indicators, since they influence a number of other development objectives such as nutrition and education.
The estimates, based on assumptions of climate-change projections, suggest that the cholera health cost of increased temperatures of 1 to 2 degree Celsius by 2030 will be in the range of 0.03 to 0.12 percent of GDP for treatment costs alone (cost of reactive adaptation), while total additional cost attributable to climate change, including productivity losses and the value of lost lives, averages out at around 0.75 percent, but may be as much as 1.4 percent of GDP by 2030 for the upper boundary. The magnitude of these cost estimates is substantial, and considerably higher than the current budgets allocated for diarrheal diseases in most developing countries. Thus budgetary increases will be needed if treatment is to be provided to deal with the additional burden of disease attributable to climate-change which cannot be avoided through preventive adaptation measures.
The current study has several strengths compared to previous literature on the implications of climate change and the costs of adaptation in the health sector. Compared to most estimates, which are made on regional levels, the scope of assessment has been on the national level, offering interesting insights for policy-makers in evaluating potential adaptation measures at more local and national levels. The cost estimates provide useful information which can feed into both national and international debates on financing and planning adaptation. In addition, the estimates take into account expected future economic development in Tanzania, which includes a strengthening of the health system and hence has an impact on the projections of incidence.
The implications of the results for future studies suggest that climate change will cause large additional economic burdens for both societies and households. Consequently, it is vital to quantify the burden of disease attributable to climate change at the national and local levels as opposed to the regional levels, since the vulnerability of human health to climate change in terms of exposure (environmental variables) and capacity to cope and adapt (socioeconomic variables) may vary considerably between time and place. Therefore more and improved projections of future risks are necessary for local (national) decision-making, in addition to making further efforts to refine the national costs of preventive and reactive adaptation measures in the health sector.

Tactics (gameplay)
From Guild Wars Wiki
Tactics refers to organization of actions made by players during a battle. Some also use the term to refer to strategies arranged prior to encountering the enemy (espcially in response to the metagame).
A good player prepares for battle by choosing relevant builds and organizing their team, but they must also choose the best techniques during combat based on events as they unfold. Good PvE players know whether to pull or just draw aggro, PvP players need to know how and when to split, and everyone should know the difference between kiting and running away.

The Ocean Recovery Alliance along with the International Pacific Research Center has developed a tracking system to monitor the debris flow from Japan's 9.0 earthquake on March 11, 2011.
The debris poses danger to maritime safety and fishery activities and may shelter Japan-native species, making it possible for some to survive a voyage across the Pacific Ocean. The introduction of non-native species to the US West Coast and Hawaii could potentially threaten our native fish and wildlife. In addition to this, the staggering amount of floating plastic and other material will have significant impacts on the ocean's entire ecosystem.
For these reasons and many others, monitoring the debris flow has become extremely important. Here's a link to the Tsunami Debris Tracking Project website: http://www.oceanrecov.org/tsunami-debris/about.html
Dr. Christine Cass is joining the Oceanography crew this Fall! Dr. Cass studied Biology at Pomona College in Southern California and received her Ph.D. in Marine Science from the University of South Florida College of Marine Science. She will be teaching OCN 310 -Biological Oceanography and an OCN 109L- General Oceanography lab in the Fall. We are pleased to have her join the HSU community.
The Oceanography Department will hold a Welcome Back pizza party in early Fall. We'll email you with the date.
Oceanography students Catherine Hoyle, Anna Neumann and Brandon Crawford won cash from a Scholarship Contest (sponsored by the HSU Bookstore) at the last Oceanography gathering. Congratulations!
What happens in the atmosphere can affect the ocean and vice-versa. Not surprisingly, then, there are a lot of collaborations between oceanographers and atmospheric scientists. One such well-established collaboration between HSU and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admininstration has just gone global.
For a number of years, Dr. Jeff Borgeld of HSU's Oceanography program has worked with Dr. James Butler (NOAA's Global Monitoring Division and HSU alumnus) and others to set up, maintain and expand an atmospheric monitoring station on Trinidad Head, not far from HSU's Telonicher Marine Laboratory. The observatory measures a wide range of atmospheric properties, like methane, carbon monoxide, ozone, and aerosols.
The Trinidad Atmospheric Observatory has become part of an international network of observing systems known as Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW), which is organized through the World Meteorological Organization. Here is a link to the HSU press release. http://now.humboldt.edu/news/hsu-station-goes-global-on-climate-change/
The Director of NOAA's Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), Zdenka Willis, visited Humboldt State University and Humboldt County, in order to see how HSU is helping to collect critical environmental data to help inform decision-makers at the national, regional, and local community levels. Willis and CENCOOS (Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System) Executive Director Steve Ramp spent two days on campus and in the area, touring field sites and research facilities. They also met with local politicians and representatives from government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Reporter John Driscoll wrote a nice article on the visit for the local newspaper, the Times-Standard. Here's a link to the article (note: this will take you to the Times-Standard website).http://www.times-standard.com/ci_1246728
In response to the need for cleaner forms of energy, some governments and businesses are looking to ocean waves. The State of California has yet to embrace wave energy conversion (WEC), but there is serious consideration. The State recently released a white paper which addresses many of the possible socio-economic and environmental issues associated with WEC. Prepared for the California Ocean Protection Council and the Public Interest Energy Research Program of the California Energy Commission, the report represents the work of a panel of experts, including Humboldt State University's Steve Hackett (Economics) and Greg Crawford (Oceanography). The report is available on the OPC's website, http://www.resources.ca.gov/copc/. You can read HSU's press release here: http://now.humboldt.edu/news/wave-energy-deemed-feasible-but-gnarly/)
As most people know by now, the climate is changing due in part to increases in carbon dioxide from various factors like excess fossil fuel burning. Some of the excess CO2 actually gets stored in the ocean, which helps mitigate the problem. However, this can make ocean water more acidic and, during upwelling events along the California coast, this more acidic water is brought over the continental shelf and into the surface waters of the ocean. We know very little about how exposure to this water affects the development of larval, juvenile and adult organisms (like shellfish and coral, who form calcium carbonate shells and coverings, and young salmon that need small, calcifying zooplankton for food).
HSU Oceanography's Dr. Jeff Abell is part of a research team that has been funded roughly $600K by California's Ocean Protection Council to conduct a three-year study of this phenomenon. The project, which includes researchers and managers from CSU San Marcos, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, NOAA, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, and the California Department of Fish and Game, began February 2009. Jeff will be helping to run an ocean acidity observing system to measure CO2 concentrations over time. Other investigators will be examining the physiologic responses of several key species, including red sea urchins, red abalone, and oysters.
HSU is now providing near-real-time ocean surface current measurements in northern California, between the Oregon-California border and Trinidad Head. This is the first step in our efforts to fill the data gap between Oregon and Pt. Arena (near San Francisco Bay). You can see recent and historical data here: http://cordc.ucsd.edu/projects/mapping/maps/fullpage.php . (That webpage allows you to zoom in and out, select different days, etc. Feel free to play with the options.)
HSU is a participating member of the Coastal Ocean Currents Monitoring Program (www.cocmp.org), funded by the California State Coastal Conservancy. The COCMP effort represents part of California's contribution to the US Integrated Ocean Observing System, IOOS and the international Global Ocean Observing System, GOOS.
Professor Jeffry Borgeld has been awarded a National Science Foundation grant to study the transport of particulate organic carbon (POC) from small, mountainous rivers along the west coast of the United States. By some estimates, this process accounts for more than 50% of the global transport of particulates from the land to the sea, so it is clearly an important component of the global carbon cycle. However, little is known about the ultimate fate of this POC when it reaches the oceans. Jeff, along with colleagues from Oregon State University, will focus on measuring the transport and assessing the fate of POC from three key rivers: the Eel, Umpqua, and Salinas. Jeff's focus is primarily on the Eel River. He and a number of his undergraduate students are in the process of sampling the river during the current 2007-2008 rainy season, particularly after major rainfall events.

The actual survey banner itself is a fixed design and will be delivered on a bunch of websites based on the needs of the survey.
If I read the license right the standard license should be ok to use since I'm only creating a single item for my company even thought its dynamic.

This is by design for PCBSD. Our live image is a true live image and does not include an installer like you said. We do have another USB image with the installer if the user prefers to have the installer included, or the DVD image is also available. The reason we don't include the installer on the live image is it would make it rather large, and we want to keep the live image small in case people want to have a live portable system. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.pcbsd.org/ticket/694#comment:1> PC-BSD <http://trac.pcbsd.org> PC-BSD Project Management

HMGN3 belongs to the HMGN family and is expressed in kidney, lung, pancreas, testis, skeletal muscle, heart, thyroid gland, pituitary gland, prostate and uterus. Members of the HMGN family bind to nucleosomes without any specificity for the underlying DNA sequence. They affect the global and local structure of chromatin, as well as the levels of histone modifications and thus play a role in epigenetic regulation of gene expression. HMGN3 regulates the expression of the glucose transporter SLC2A2 by binding specifically to its promoter region and recruiting PDX1 and additional transcription factors. It also regulates the expression of SLC6A9, a glycine transporter which regulates the glycine concentration in synaptic junctions in the central nervous system, by binding to its transcription start site. Both insulin and glucagon levels can be affected by HMGN3. HMGN3 may play a role in ocular development and astrocyte function. It also modulates the expression of pancreatic genes involved in insulin secretion.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/UnScripts:Les Misérables, Abrégés
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit UnScripts:Les Misérables, Abrégés
In depth, if possible, please. Thank you. MacMania 05:34, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
I would have picked this one up, but my knowledge of the satirised piece is limited, so I'm hoping someone else will, soon. --ChiefjusticeDS 06:41, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah I'll have to pass too, I quite like doing reviews, and peeing, and combining the two, but my knowledge of the original play is pretty much zero. If you get desperate I can review it as a standalone article, or is it heavily reliant on knowledge of the Hugo? --El Sid, the lazy one • parlez-vous franglais? 19:05, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
I'll pick it up then, expect a review shortly.--ChiefjusticeDS 21:01, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
|OK, your humour is reasonable, but still has some issues that you need to address. Firstly the main problem is that even after carefully reading the synopsis and then rereading the script a lot of your jokes need you to take another look. Essentially you have the right idea but flawed execution. The jokes need to be carefully considered, granted I am not fully acquainted with the source for the humour, but as someone who has just picked up the article I can say that it's accessibility is a real bar. The new synopsis is a great help and made me laugh alone, your running joke of misery is also a good one. What I think needs work is the jokes that are made during the text. They are either obvious and presented with relatively unbecoming prose (think of the text in the original) the prose thing is less of an issue as it is consistent, but your jokes are relatively overt or difficult to understand as a first time reader.
|Your tone is reasonable, you have gone for casual over professional and while you are compressing a full length play this is fine. However I would urge you to check some of the featured UnScripts. You should, regardless of subject matter, be professional in tone when it comes to the actual script. Also try to stay truer to the actual script, the throwaway dialogue that you use, like: "Come on, she's fine!" does not, for me, lend itself to a story of any type. You should reconsider your tone, you could be just as amusing by using regular language rather than speaking colloquially and casually. Your tone is pretty consistent throughout and this is not a problem, just consider changing the tone for the actual script.
|Prose and formatting:
|This is pretty good and your spelling and grammar works pretty well. Your coherence could do with some attention is a couple of places as it can become ever so slightly incoherent in places, but not much to get too bothered about. Your formatting is reasonable, just check another couple of UnScripts so you can make sure the formatting of the text in your script is fine (I was unsure what the / meant in here). Stage directions etc should also be checked against other unscripts. You have plenty of images for the article and this is not a problem.
|I like the images, especially the first one. The others are reasonable though the captions need a little work. They are generally pretty good. In fact only the captions need a tiny bit of work. They are otherwise my favourite part of the article.
|My overall grade of the article.
|Final Score:
|I think you have a pretty solid article here that definitely has what it takes to be excellent with a bit more work. Most of the changes you need to make are cosmetic and not very far reaching, so don't be too concerned. This is a good solid piece of writing and I hope to see more in the future. Good luck making any changes.

Any acupuncture physician can do an acupuncture face-lift. They have been trained accordingly to do the face-lift and to also do body acupuncture. Advocates believe that the procedures will strengthen the meridians that will help with the aging process. For instance, the spleen/stomach meridians helps with the production of Qi and help it flow upwards to improve muscle tone. The actual value of the procedure is debatable.
Can Any Acupuncturist Do an Acupuncture Face Lift?

Accupunture Facelift
I assume any accupuncturist can do this procedure. But the real question is whether any accupuncture can achieve a facelift? My response would be, NO. There is no scientific evidence or studies that support this thesis.
Don't believe everything you read
It's amazing to me to see how everyone and anyone is now promising their own "facelift du jour". I did some research on the internet regarding acupuncture facelift, and the Acupuncture.com a relatively reliable site states:
"Is it really a facelift? The answer is an unequivocal no. Nor is it intended to replace a facelift. Cosmetic acupuncture entails no incisions, sutures or acid peels and it will not produce sudden, drastic changes in underlying structures. In fact, the American Cosmetic Acupuncture Association discourages the use of the term, "facelift" in connection with acupuncture, as this creates unrealistic expectations and, ultimately, disappointment. Remember, it took decades of stress, sun damage and exposure to environmental toxins for your skin to reach a state of crisis, and the damage will not be instantly undone. The remedy cosmetic acupuncture may offer is the reduction or erasure of fine lines and the softening of deeper ones. Additionally, patients may experience the firming of jowls and a reduction in the size of under-eye bags. It is not unusual for clients to report enhanced skin tone, increased energy and eyes that sparkle."
So, although the "official voice" steps away form making such large claims as acupuncture making your face younger, it continues to claim firming of jowls, reduction of bags under the eyes. Well, there is no medical or scientific evidence or logic to support such claims. There are no photographs to document any significant benefit. The most believable claim is that acupuncture can make your whole health improve and as such impart a benefit to your facial appearance.
If you believe that acupuncture can make your face look younger by relaxing you, go ahead. However, save your money and don't fall for the claims of removed wrinkles, removed jowls, removed eyelid bags, or removed dark circles under the eyes.

Professor Ruth Stephenson receives the 2014 Hunter Hamilton Award
During Queens' 2014 commencement ceremony, Professor Ruth Stephenson became the 2014 Hunter Hamilton Award recipient. Congratulations Ruth!
The Hunter-Hamilton Love of Teaching Award seeks out and honors teachers whose way of life uniquely inspires the full potential of each student. This award is given to a Queens University of Charlotte faculty member judged by his or her peers to display an exemplary love of teaching.
Professor Ruth Stephenson came to Queens College in 1991. When she arrived, she brought with her a wealth of experience from the profession of nursing - experience that she would pass on to nursing students and students in all majors enrolled in her CORE program courses. Student comments about Ruth over the years show a common theme of commitment and dedication to her students as well as the community. One student commented, "Professor Stephenson teaches Community Health in the classroom, but what she teaches in the classroom, she lives."
Former students describe Ruth's love of nursing with terms such as "caring, love for her patients, and service to her profession." They use the same terms when describing her dedication to her students. In her teaching role, students often add the title of mentor. One student commented that Ruth, "guides students with a firm, matter of fact demeanor, tweaked with love and care." Another student commented, "It was her sage advice and her challenging me to stretch my mental and emotional boundaries that produced behaviors in me that I am sure will be invaluable not only in my nursing career, but in all areas of my personal and professional life."
Ruth's love of Community and Public Health nursing has awakened a passion in many students. They speak of her encouragement to seek a new career in nursing, advance their career to a new level, or move from the bedside to the community. They have become advocates for school children, the underserved, and the vulnerable. Through Ruth, they learned to live Queens' motto of "not to be served, but to serve."
One touching student nomination included the following statement. The Hunter-Hamilton Love of Teaching Award "is a special award to me, since Dr. Hamilton performed surgery on my daughter twice. For his help, he holds a special place in my mind, just like Ruth Stephenson holds a special place in my heart." With her passion for standing up for what she believes is right, her many years of dedicated service, her commitment to students, and her deep love for Queens University of Charlotte, Ms. Ruth Stephenson is a worthy recipient of the high honor of the 2014 Hunter-Hamilton Love of Teaching Award.

ENG 208—Baker
Outline / Summary
After the traditional invocation
to the Muse and a brief prologue highlighting the most important themes and
actions, the poet describes a counsel on

Athena's words of wisdom, confronts the suitors for consuming his inheritance
and abusing the hospitality of the palace at

Telemachus and Pisistratus
arrive at the palace of the Spartan king and queen during a wedding feast but
are perhaps all the more warmly welcomed for that. Menelaus and Helen make their guests
comfortable and reminisce about those glorious days in
After her sojourn with
Telemachus, Athena has returned to
Nausicaa, princess of the Phaeacian people, is encouraged by Athena to do her laundry the next day. She asks permission from her father and takes a bevy of young girls with her to the riverside where they wash clothes, play catch, and discover the (very nude) Odysseus asleep on the beach. He approaches the princess and she offers him the hospitality of her people on the understanding that he will not expose her to ridicule.
Athena guides Odysseus to the palace where he begs Queen Arete for refuge. Her husband Alcinous grants it and Odysseus tells the queen a small segment of his distressing voyages.
Alcinous orders his people to make a ship ready for our traveler and loads it with many gifts, a traditional sign of friendship and respect. The Phaeacians begin a course of games, but are interrupted when a loud boaster challenges Odysseus to compete. Our hero responds admirably and they all settle down to an evening of wine and song, which is unfortunately interrupted by the weeping hero himself, who consents to tell his own tale.
Odysseus reveals his identity
and tells of his adventures after leaving
Landing on the
Odysseus travels as instructed
to the realm of Hades and his wife Persephone to learn his fate from Teiresias, the blind prophet. After following Circe's gruesome
instructions, he first encounters his dead comrade, then Teiresias
who explains to him his possible fates.
He speaks next with his mother, then is
privileged to see a procession of legendary Greek women. After a brief interruption by his listeners,
Odysseus goes on to describe his meetings with the heroes of the Trojan
War: Agamemnon, Achilles, and
Odysseus and his men return to
Circe's island from their underworld voyage where he receives slightly fuller
instructions for his voyage. Odysseus
survives his encounter with the Sirens, most of the crew make
it through the dangerous
The Phaeacian people return Odysseus to his homeland and are poorly repaid by Poseidon for their graciousness. Odysseus awakes in confusion and fear and is welcomed home by his protector Athena who warns him to be on his guard and return on the sly.
Odysseus follows the guidance of his guardian and approaches the hut of his swineherd Eumaeus. From him, Odysseus learns the current state of affairs in the palace and that his servant has been loyal to his master. He, however, refuses to share his own identity and tells another of the invented tales we have already seen him wield with Athena.
Concurrent with the action of Book XIV, Athena visits Telemachus at Menelaus' palace, where we left him in Book IV. She encourages him to return, but instructs him, like Odysseus, to return in secret. Helen grants the boy a wedding present of his own and augurs a triumphant return for both he and his father. As he travels home, Odysseus wiles away the time with Eumaeus's storytelling until they are joined by the young man.
Book XVI
Telemachus' entrance to the swineherd's hut is treated in some detail. Eumaeus encourages him to treat the beggar kindly, but Telemachus fears the gluttony and avarice of the suitors will not allow him to do so. After telling his father of his origins and travails, an incredulous Telemachus listens to his father's revelation that he is indeed Odysseus. The two are reunited in a moving scene and plot how to reclaim their palace.
Telemachus takes his father to
the palace as a beggar and tells his mother what little he was able to learn on
his journey. The suitors further sully
their souls by ridiculing the beggar they believe Odysseus to be and refusing
to even give him scraps from their usurped table. The beggar is, however, recognized by his
faithful dog
The suitors continue their ill treatment of Odysseus, who gains some revenge from beating one of them to a pulp. At the reprimand of Telemachus, they retire for the evening.
Our hero and his son lay the groundwork for their siege of the suitors while the "old beggar" converses with Penelope. Whether she knows his identity or not, it is obvious that she mourns the absence of her husband and, at wit's end, is about to devise another test for the suitors, one that falls in well with the schemes of her husband and child. Meanwhile, Odysseus is recognized by his former nurse whom he swears to silence.
Odysseus is encouraged by signs and omens from the gods, but the day is a foul one, filled with continued abuses.
Penelope challenges the suitor to draw the great bow of her husband and with it shoot an arrow straight through 12 axe heads. Telemachus shows great cunning in managing the details of the test, at which the suitors predictably fail. After ensuring the loyalty of two men servants, Odysseus suggests that he might be offered a chance to compete. The suitors resist, are chastised by Penelope, who is then seconded and overcome by Telemachus. The "old beggar" draws the bow with ease, shoots straight through the axe heads and prepares to slaughter the usurpers.
In a violent and bloody debacle, Odysseus, Telemachus, and the loyal servants massacre the suitors, force the whoring maids to clean up the mess, and then hang the hapless women. The scene closes with the ritual purification of the banquet hall.
Euryclea, Odysseus' nurse, informs her mistress that the suitors have been slain. With a few paltry tests of his courage and cunning now successfully overcome, Odysseus must face his last, greatest challenge: his wife. When Penelope suggests that this beggar who claims to be her husband should sleep in his "own" bed, moved to another chamber, he protests that the bed cannot be moved, thereby revealing the secret of their marriage and winning back her heart and her mind. The two retire together and spend the long night making love and telling stories, to their hearts' content.
Book XXIV
Back in Hades, the spirits of the suitors meet many of the same shades discovered there by Odysseus, to whom these ruthless cowards cannot hold a candle. Odysseus is reunited with his father, confronts those who would avenge the death of the suitors, and is pacified by his guardian Athena, who bids the townspeople peace.

The current patch actually creates fully_redundant log based what you described. If we are not going to use log_count for anything else other than creating "mirrored" logs, I can use it. I remember Heinz implementing a log device per mirror leg but the logs not not mirrored at all. Alasdair, any comments? Thanks, Malahal.

This is probably pretty easy but I'm pulling a blank. I have a database (structure below) that I want to see how many items are associated with each ID
Example of what I am looking for
Select file1 thru file10 and count how many of these fields have a value in them.
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`title` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`cat_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`file1` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`file2` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`file3` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`file4` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`file5` varchar(100) NOT NULL,

`file7` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`file8` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`file9` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`file10` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
I can count how many records I have in the database but for each record I want to know how many files I have.
Are you needing to do this in MySQL or in PHP? I'm assuming MySQL would be preferred?
I would like to use PHP to pull the information from my MYSQL database. If this belongs in the MYSQL forum, my apologies just thought it was PHP code.
you need to redesign this table
so instead of one row with up to 10 values in the row, you would have one column, and up to 10 rows
then the count becomes trivial -- you just count the rows that are there and don't bother with the ones that aren't
Can you suggest a way to redo this table? I think I can see it but just want a quick visual. Appreciate the help!
CREATE TABLE widgets
( id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT
, title VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
, cat_id INTEGER NOT NULL

MURRIETA -- Chaparral accomplished a first Wednesday in the short, two-year history of Southwestern League volleyball.
With a 12-15, 15-10, 15-12, 15-6 win over host Murrieta, the Pumas completed a perfect league season.
"It's awesome," Chaparral freshman Kelli Tennant said. "It was such a team effort. It means so much."
Murrieta coach Susan Lillie said her team was eager to play the Pumas (21-4, 8-0), and it showed. The Nighthawks (11-4, 5-3) started the match impressively, getting off to leads of 7-0 and 12-1 in the first game.
"The girls had been waiting to get a rematch with Chaparral," Lillie said. "They thought we didn't play our best the first match."
Murrieta, however, had trouble putting the Pumas away. Chaparral went on an 11-1 run to get to within 13-12 before the Nighthawks finally got the last two points they needed.
Tennant said getting back in the first game was key to the match.
"It was very important," Tennant said. "We kind of got out of our game. It was mental, and we had to get it back."
Chaparral coach Stephanie Benjamin agreed.
"I thought it was real important to at least get our game going and not make unforced errors," Benjamin said. "It would have been nice to win that game, but we didn't lose momentum by not winning it."
Chaparral broke open close games in the next two before cruising in the fourth game.
With the teams tied at 9 in the second game, the Pumas went on a 6-1 run to close it out and even the match.
The third game was tied at 12, before Chaparral scored the last three points. In the fourth game, the Pumas got ahead early and closed out the game, the match and an undefeated run through the Southwestern League.
"I thought we kept our composure in a stressful situation," Benjamin said. "I thought we served real tough, though we missed a few, and I thought our setters did a good job distributing the ball."
Kandace Scarlett led Chaparral with 16 kills and Tennant added 11.
Lillie said her team, which finished second in league, should benefit from playing a team of Chaparral's caliber just before the playoffs.
"I'm confident we'll get better," Lillie said. "Even though we lost tonight, it was a well-played match.
"I hope my team will take the right mental attitude from this match. We played better. We didn't get the win, but we improved."
Christine Ryan led the Nighthawks with 11 kills and Meghan Lake and Cheree Woodcock each had nine.
Both sides will advance the CIF-Southern Section playoffs beginning next week.

Students in social work are preparing to engage in professional practice with individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations. Students learn to become skilled at designing change strategies with clients that promote individual change, social justice, and empowerment. The curriculum includes classroom instruction, agency practicum, social work skills development, history of social work and social welfare in the United States, analysis of social welfare policy, and social science research. In and out of the classroom, students study privilege and oppression and engage with diverse communities. In the end, our students are prepared to practice in multi-cultural settings.
Those graduating with a social work major receive a Bachelor of Science degree in social work and are eligible to apply for licensure as a generalist social worker. Students interested in a graduate degree in social work (MSW) are encouraged to apply to our Master of Social Work program. The undergraduate degree provides transferable credits toward the foundation year of an MSW program, reducing the number of credits needed. Both the baccalaureate and graduate social work programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.
Social work graduates embody the Augsburg College motto, "Education for Service." One example of this motto in action is the extensive service learning and practica assignments embedded in the social work curriculum. Students begin service learning early in their major and engage in over 400 hours of agency based training, supervised by licensed social workers. The Twin Cities offers a variety of innovative and professional programs and agencies. Students are encouraged to train with and learn from these local, regional, and national leaders in social work.
Points of Pride
There are no Nobel Prizes for social work. Or Pulizer Prizes or Oscars, Emmys or Grammys. The prize of social work is witnessing the long-term improvement of clients, maintaining high professional standards and working with an engaged community of peers. The Augsburg BSW Program graduates generalist practitioners who advocate for their clients and profession locally and globally. We prepare our students for the state licensure exam and have a very high first-time passing rate. Our students take advantage of the Augsburg College Center for Global Education and spend time abroad, challenging their notions of society. Many of the graduates of our program supervise interns in their agencies – passing along their wisdom to a future group of social workers.
About Us
Augsburg is a college just outside of downtown Minneapolis. It has approximately 3,100 students combined in undergraduate and graduate studies. Areas of study are divided between the liberal arts and professional studies. The undergradutate social work degree (BSW) is taught in a day format with enrollment large enough to support a diversity of students and small enough for developing many lifelong relationships with both fellow students and faculty.
- What makes an Augsburg BSW different?
- small class sizes
- caring people
- one-to-one contact with faculty
- small campus in the big city
- diversity
- internship sites

On Wednesday, Cisco announced its intent to acquire privately held ClearAccess, a company providing software [2]to internet service providers for the provisioning and management of residential and mobile devices. The acquisition includes ClearAccess' software [2]business and personal, while the hardware portion of ClearAccess' business, Smart RG Gateways, will continue forward as SmartRG, Inc, says Cisco.
The two companies plan to combine network management and software [2]capabilities to help service providers in the delivery, management and monetization of their services.
According to Cisco [3](San Jose, Calif., USA), service providers are faced with growing network complexity, exploding video and data traffic, and an increasing number of devices connected to their networks. With the proliferation of these devices, service providers are looking for ways to immediately lower operating expense while delivering and enabling new services. ClearAccess [4]' (Vancouver, Wash., USA) management and software capabilities will augment Cisco Prime -- Cisco's network management software portfolio -- by offering service providers a set of tools for managing the connected home, including monitoring and managing bandwidth usage, parental controls, diagnostics and analytics.
This acquisition aligns with Cisco's strategic initiatives to build software [2]platforms and drive business and technology architecture, and it complements Cisco's end-to-end portfolio and capabilities for service provider customers, says the company.
Upon the close of the acquisition, the ClearAccess team will be integrated into the Cisco Network Management Technology Group. Specific financial terms of the transaction are undisclosed. The acquisition of ClearAccess is subject to various standard closing conditions and is expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of Cisco's fiscal year 2012, says Cisco [3].

Economic relations between the United States, Europe and Japan are critical in determining the state of the world economy. It is important for students of international finance and business to appreciate the way in which relations within this triad are played out economically and politically. This unit addresses the development of these relations since the 1980s and considers the economic and political debates about access to each other's markets for trade and investment and the mutual determination of exchange rates within this triad.

Olly Murs takes 'Troublemaker' to number one; Girls Aloud storm second place
Girls Aloud's comeback single 'Something New' finishes in second place as Olly sails aheadRead more on Olly Murs Listen to Olly Murs on Spotify
Olly Murs is living proof that you don't need to win The X Factor to be successful. The cheeky chappy has bagged another UK number one with new single 'Troublemaker'.
Olly's managed to secure his fourth number one tonight as his Flo Rida collaboration hits the top spot. He's also managed to join an elite group of artists to achieve sales of over 100,000 in 2012. The single has kept Girls Aloud at bay by a comfortable margin all week; Olly was 39,000 copies ahead of the girls on Friday afternoon.
It's not all bad for Girls Aloud. 'Something New' has managed a respectable second place finish after a three year hiatus from the UK's greatest girl group, which means more money for the 2012 Children in Need total.
One Direction are third this Sunday as 'Little Things' clings onto the top three; Labrinth and Emeli Sandé are at number four with 'Beneath Your Beautiful'.
Alicia Keys is at five with 'Girl on Fire' after a big performance on last week's X Factor results show. Meanwhile, Psy moves up one to six with 'Gangnam Style' and Gabrielle Aplin falls two places to seven with 'Power of Love'.
Robbie Williams drops two places down to eight, proving that 'Candy' is still irresistible one month on from its release. Robbie's success shows that even Nick Grimshaw can't keep a popstar down.
The biggest surprise tonight comes from Bruno Mars, whose 'Locked Out of Heaven' falls a head-spinning seven places to number nine. And even Rihanna's number one album can't buoy 'Diamonds', which rounds out the top ten.
That's your lot for this week. Are you glad to see Olly land himself another number one single? Or are you gutted that the girls couldn't notch up a number one on their comeback to the UK singles chart?
