Business globalization, shared next to the stern amend of new technology, continues to face our potential to adequately bring home the bacon endeavour computing actions. Past pains utilized to custody the different aspects of set of contacts integration are no longer efficient in today's speckled and complex news environments. The involve for much competent hang over organization techniques is paramount to the endurance of those organizations who believe heavily on the benefits of computer science practical application.
Effective jut out over admin is a impressive effort, and in examination to other IS connate tasks, it is commonly shrouded with perceptions a bit than viewed as a set of side by side administration standards. It is nonmoving unexpected to insight that various IS professionals regularly pay no attention to simple concepts in an undertake to adjudge a solo get nearer that can hold the different facets associated near scientific projects.
Successful conferral of most IS applications requires a jelled awareness of moral values which are germane to the overhang paperwork method. Experienced IS professionals have erudite how to employ the fundamental concepts heedless of the work. At the one and the same time, it is communally impressive to acknowledge differences in extend beyond range short stone-blind support to the rules. The worth of ignoring undamaged admin beliefs is typically disastrous, and in heaps cases occurs well into the calendar of a given hang over. Many professionals who backfire at extend beyond social control are either victims of stiff knowledge domain or thoughtless inquiry.Post ads:

A pivotal factor of work running is the competency to utilize human reserves in crowd application goals. Historically, feat the skills needful to win associates had been less emphasized than having the skills to grip systematic account. Although this may summarize why IS professionals struggled next to quality relationships, it is no longest above-board to be as barely the logical agent. Clearly, the furthermost gleeful jut out over managers have perfect the art of in employment near sundry structure types, together with vendors, contractors, and consultants. These weighty skills are not smoothly acquired and normally obligation geezerhood of education to cultivate.
The shortages of accomplished professionals, as in good health as the requirement to absorption on centre competencies, has prompted many, if not all, organizations to hope adroitness on the far side time-honored boundaries. While the promises of outsourcing have been powerfully identified, at hand are heaps issues that immobile necessitate the suffer of extend beyond supervision. Merely outsourcing controlled tasks does not fund elated completion, nor does it involuntarily ensure that the high-grade interests of the undertaking will be practised. Unfortunately, quite a few IS professionals resign their responsibilities when mistreatment noticeable reserves. This has caused numerous union to re-evaluate procedures when attractive in outsourcing accomplishments. However, outsourcing will rest as a burly expression to inside possessions needful in applications nurturing. Understanding the proper risks and rewards for using outsourcing is now a obligatory slice of any project paperwork scheme.Post ads:

An abnormal level of red blood cell (RBC) aggregation is a clinical condition associated with many pathologies. Our purpose is to investigate the feasibility of spectral domain phase-resolved optical Doppler tomography incorporated with Doppler variance imaging to characterize RBC aggregation in flowing blood. Variance/standard deviation (SD) of the Doppler frequency spectrum of porcine blood flowing through a glass tube (diameter 300μm) at 4.7mm∕s is measured. For nonaggregating RBCs with hematocrits of 20, 40, and 60%, the mean centerline SD values were 34.2±1.2, 47.8±1.0, and 47.2±0.5, respectively. After dextran 500 induction, the SD value decreased significantly to 29.9±0.7, 37.9±3.0, and 40.1±0.6(P<0.01) in the aggregated blood, respectively. The results demonstrate that Doppler variance imaging using the SD value is capable of differentiating normal and aggregated blood.
Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation is an important physiological phenomenon responsible for the non-Newtonian behavior of blood. RBC aggregation is normally present in humans and in many other "athletic" species. An abnormally high level of RBC aggregation has long been considered to be principally of pathophysiologic importance since aggregation is elevated in many disease states. Understanding RBC aggregation could bring new insights concerning these pathologies.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT)/Doppler OCT (ODT) is able to achieve high imaging speed, high velocity sensitivity, and high spatial resolution simultaneously. OCT/ODT has been used to study blood optical clearing, aggregation, sedimentation, and hematocrit (HCT) in our and other groups.1- 7 In our previous work, we demonstrated that the slope of the OCT depth-reflectivity profile decreased with the level of RBC aggregation.6- 7 This is so because RBC aggregation leads8 to a decrease in scattering of RBCs. Unfortunately, the relationship between the slope and the aggregation of RBCs could not be directly used for in vivo determination of RBC aggregation. The scattering properties of vessels, surrounding tissue, and HCT would affect the slope of the OCT depth-reflectivity profile. A new principle for blood aggregation characterization is worth studying except for measuring scattering by OCT. We recently demonstrated spectral domain ODT (SDODT) for measuring blood flow velocity under various circumstances.9 Doppler variance tomography using the variance of the Doppler frequency spectrum to more efficiently map the flows in highly scattering biological tissues has been reported.10- 11 In addition to the local velocity information, phase-resolved ODT systems give the variance of the Doppler frequency spectrum,10- 11 which is given byDisplay Formula
Individual particles within concentrated suspensions exhibit significant random movements when the suspension is subjected to shear flow. These movements are dependent on the local shear rate of the suspension and on particle size.12 Previous studies have shown variation in the instantaneous velocity of individual RBCs and the effect of aggregation on the dispersion of RBCs flowing in venules.12- 13 RBC aggregation in the flow stream decreases the variability in instantaneous cellular velocity.13 This effect is most likely the result of an increased particle size. The magnitude of particle movements is decreased when the particle diameter increases.12- 13 In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of phase-resolved SDODT combined with the Doppler variance image to characterize RBC aggregation in flowing blood.
Figure 1 is a schematic of the SDOCT system. A superluminescent diode with a spectrum centered at 1310nm, a full width at half maximum bandwidth of 95nm, and a total delivered power of 8mW was used. Back-reflected light from the reference and sample arms was guided into a spectrometer and dispersed over a 1×1024 InGaAs detector array at 7.7kHz (corresponding to 1∕T). The total wavelength range spreading on the detector array was 130nm, corresponding to a spectral resolution of 0.13nm and an imaging depth of 3.6mm in air. The resulting axial resolution was about 8μm, and the lateral resolution of the system was6,9 about 13.8μm.

In the phase-resolved OCT/ODT, the phase change of the interference fringe between sequential A-line scans was used10 to calculate the Doppler-frequency shift. The interference signal was inversely Fourier transformed after reducing the dc component. Cross-correlations between sequential A-scans are taken.11 The standard deviation (SD) of phase shift between two consecutive exposures (=σT) was calculated from the cross-correlation using Eq. 1.
Various HCT levels were obtained by mixing extracted RBCs with porcine plasma using ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) as an anticoagulant (Animal Technologies, Inc., Tyler, Texas). Different suspensions of normal RBCs, artificially aggregated with dextran, were prepared. RBCs were resuspended in plasma of dextran 500 (Dx500, average molecular mass 500kDa; Sigma, United State) at HCTs of 20, 40, and 60%. A plasma dextran concentration of 2% in weight/volume (w/v) was used to induce moderate RBC aggregation. All OCT measurements were performed just after RBC suspensions were prepared and pumped through a round glass capillary tube with a 300-μm inner diameter (VitroCom Inc., Mountain Lakes, New Jersey) at a Doppler angle of 5deg. A programmable syringe pump (Harvard Apparatus, Holliston, Massachusetts) was used to make the blood flow with an approximately constant speed at a rate of 20μl∕min, corresponding to an average flow velocity of 4.7mm∕s within the glass capillary. The flow rate simulates the real values within major human retinal vessels with diameters >200μm. OCT "M-scans" (a single A-line repeatedly acquired in time without transverse scanning) were performed. One thousand and twenty-four OCT A-scans were averaged for each data set. Triplicate samples were prepared and measured for each HCT. All final results of SD values for both normal and aggregated blood were means of triplicate experiments. A paired t test statistical analysis was applied for the differences in SD between the control group (without dextran) and the treated group (with dextran). For all tests, a level of 0.05 was chosen as a significant level.
Figure 2 shows the Doppler variance images that give the variation of the blood (HCT=40%) velocity distribution for the blood without dextran [Fig. 2] and the aggregated blood with 2% Dx500 [Fig. 2] at HCT of 40% flowing through a 300-μm glass tube at a flow rate of 4.7mm∕s. The presence of different velocity variations between the control and the aggregated within the glass tube was observed.
Doppler variance images of the blood at HCT=40% for (a) normal and (b) dextran-treated blood. The axial axis represents scan depth (0to3.6mm) and the horizontal axis represents 2000 A-lines.
The quantitative values of SD along the depth calculated according to Eq. 1 for the control and the treated blood were determined and are plotted in Fig. 3 for HCT=40% [Fig. 3] and HCT=60% [Fig. 3]. For the control blood at HCT=40 or 60%, the upper lines of the SD profiles in Figs. 3 show that the velocity variations vary with radial position in the glass tube. A higher SD is found near the center of the tube where the shear rate is minimal for the flow. There is asymmetry in the SD profiles along the pixel depth. The SD in the bottom of the tube is higher than that in the top of the tube. It is possible that the increase in RBC density in the unit area associated with RBC sedimentation in this in vitro model, leading to an increase in random collision among RBCs and thus velocity variations. From the lower lines of the SD profiles in Figs. 3 for the aggregated blood, we can see the motion of the particles is strongly influenced by the RBC aggregation. The decrease in the SD in the center of the tube could be the result of a decrease in flow variations due to changes in the size of scatterers associated with RBC aggregation. When aggregates migrate to the center of the tube, particle size will be greater in the center of the tube than near the tube wall and effective viscosity will be greater there as well.12
SD versus depth profiles for normal and dextran-treated blood at HCTs, of (a) 40% and (b) 60%.
The mean values of 47.8±0.99 and 47.2±0.45 for the control group at HCTs of 40 and 60%, respectively, have no significant differences. The value of 37.9±3.06 for dextran-treated blood with HCT of 40% is not significantly different from that of 40.1±0.55 for the blood with HCT of 60% either. However, both of them are significantly (P<0.01) lower than the values for the corresponding control blood at the two HCTs. The addition of dextran decreases the SD by 20.7 and 15.0% for HCTs of 40 and 60%, respectively. This finding is consistent with the in vivo work13 that the magnitude of the velocity variations in dextran-treated blood is less than that in nonaggregating blood. It is most likely that RBCs residing in aggregates could be both shielded from interactions with surrounding cells and also hindered in their movements or the magnitude of particle movements is decreased when the particle diameter increases.13 Note that the addition of dextran would increase the blood viscosity. Although we do not know much the increased viscosity with dextran contributes to the decreased velocity variations in dextran-treated blood, nevertheless, the variance imaging can differentiate the velocity variation change between the two groups. Interestingly, the SD in normal blood or aggregated blood is not dependent on HCT when HCT around or greater than 40% (normal HCT in a human female, 45% in a human male).
The centerline SD of 34.2±1.16 for the normal blood at HCT of 20% is much lower than that at 40 or 60%. It is possible that the numbers of RBCs in a unit area will decrease according to the decrease in the concentration of HCT. This causes a decrease in random collision among RBCs and thus velocity variations. The value for dextran-treated blood (29.9±0.66) is significantly (P<0.01) lower than the value for the control. The SD is decreased by 14.6% at blood aggregation. The results demonstrate that Doppler variance imaging using the SD value is capable of differentiating normal and aggregated blood at HCTs from 20 to 60%.
A method to determine blood flow, HCT, and blood cell aggregation in a noninvasive manner will be important for many clinical applications. Our previous results demonstrated a significant underestimation of HCT using the slope of the OCT depth reflectivity profile caused by RBC aggregation. Compensation for the discrepancy caused by RBC aggregation is necessary to develop a novel instrument based on OCT for in vivo measurements7 of the real value of blood HCT. In addition, we reported the relationship between RBC aggregation and the slope of the OCT depth reflectivity profile, however, the latter can not be used to measure RBC aggregation either because the slope is also dependent6- 7 on HCT. Therefore, developing various OCT methods except for scattering measurement and calibration methods that enables simultaneous measurements of RBC aggregation and HCT are essential for accurate determination of HCT and aggregation. The preceding results demonstrated that the SD value using Doppler variance imaging is not dependent on normal HCT. With the slope measurement and calibration methods, the change in SD value also has potential to monitor RBC aggregation for a lower HCT. To overcome the OCT penetration depth limitation in scattering tissues, SDOCT/ODT combined with retinal tracking to target retinal vessels would be a solution for in vivo blood rheology measurements. Retina veins would be a better target that exhibits a lesser effect of the elasticity of the vessels and the pulsatile nature of the blood flow. Alternatively, a microfluidic system could be developed for an ex vivo point-of-care test.
In this paper, the feasibility of phase-resolved ODT/Doppler variance imaging to characterize the level of blood aggregation was preliminarily evaluated. Studies on the spatial and temporal attributes of RBC aggregation as a function of shear rate, HCT, extensional flows, and in vivo measurement combined with retinal tracking are underway.

Our son had a hard time with private school testing coming from UCPS (which are good). He was a year behind academically but interviewed well. Enrollment came with the suggestion for a math tutor. A child can be lonely & unsure when starting in a new school. PDS assigns student mentors, class orientation events, and parent outreach for us, to help with the transition. Private schools can exceed the cost of a State University; the investment is worth it. Financial aid is available. PDS prides itself in diversity, sevice, & variety of activities. Students are encouraged to think for themselves, iniatiate clubs & projects. Staff is involved in a plethora intra & extra-curricular activities. Parents aren't forced to do anything, however if you are not engaged with your children, no matter where you go, it can hinder their development. We're amazed at the leaps our son displays every year. In academics: Went from average- honor roll- headmasters list, but most impressive is becoming a community & global thinker. MS Sports has a no cut policy so all kids can participate. Now he excels in HS athletics from school programs & his own initiatives. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR PDS AND HIGHLY ENDORSE!
PDS has been exceptional with working with us and my son, who had a difficult time learning to read. Other private schools in the area ask you to get private tutoring, which can really add up especially when you are already paying private school tuition. PDS implemented a program to help those children that didn't learn to read at the same rate and they understand that every child is different and will learn at their own pace. I would highly recommend PDS!!!! Both of my children have absolutely loved it.
To the comment made on February 25th - 2012, I too agree with the parent that wrote down that PDS does view students in a very narrow minded view. And NO they do not accept any children that are not perfect. We had applied back in the fall of 2010 and was not accept, the reason, our child do not pronounce her words perfectly, thus the admission personnel labeled her problematic, and declined her. I have heard endless stories about PDS and their need for perfect from other parents , that PDS requires already taught children. The Giselle Test is very outdated; this what PDS weighs in evaluating entrance. Avoid PDS, it would be good advice to take.
I totally disagree with the parent who is advising other to avoid PDS. Our child has been there 6 years and I would highly recommend the school. One reason we chose it is because of the more down to earth feel and diversity compared with other area private schools. It sounds like this parent's child was not admitted and his/her views are based on that decision. Yes, they do evaluate children on whether they will fit in and I suspect they have a good idea of which potential parents will cause issues as well. They are not looking for cookie cutter children and do have students with learning/social issues who are doing quite well.
I have seen a variety of better to do schools in other parts of the U.S. and internationally, which is sad to say that I would never in my right mind recommend Providence Day School. They are prejudice, expecting all potential students to be perfect, already taught, and an admissions staff that is living in an era not in sync with today. If you are new to the area, I would highly recommend any other school, unless you fall into their "cookie-cutter" mentality, and your child is perfect; it would also help that you are able to donate large sums to their treasure chest. It s a real shame, but the core of the problem lies with the admissions office, furthering their ignorant philosophies on potential candidates. From my direct experience, "PLEASE AVOID THIS SCHOOL", I say this to avoid your child being viewed under a microscope for all flaws, and you having to seek approval to see if you are good enough-in their "opinion". Being "bullied" and a "prejudice" mentality from this school is not something any sensible person would advocate.
I have been attending PDS for about 5-6 months. I have a lot of friends, great classes, teachers and have found myself being accepted. 1 month into the year I was elected Student Council. This school is amazing, and, unlike other schools, does not judge based on social status. I am thankful to my fellow students who have accepted me. GO CHARGERS!
This school is great. I have gone here for only 2 years, yet I already feel right at home. Everyone is so nice and accepting. I don't understand how anyone couldn't like this school.
Providence Day provides an exceptional education. We have three children at PDS and each of our children love this school! The teachers make learning fun and are always available for help if needed. The teachers have high expectations and provide a fast pace for the classrooms. Discipline issues are rare but handled quickly. PDS is a great school for students that are motivated and want to learn.
I am a student of 8 years, and would not recommend this school. There are teachers who have been at the school since it's humble beginnings, who have warped the goal and mission of the school. Money, social status, and your last name control who are in your classes, whether you make a team, and whether or not you can get elected as a class official. Every year, the teachers seem to already have a first impression of you, from your former teachers, or from the PTA (Parent-Teacher Association). Students who have gotten in trouble in the past are scrutinized, and badgered to the point that they cannot stand being in the school anymore, and begin to not care about school or to hate it.
PDS is not a nurturing environment. If your intelligent child does not have all the "ideal student characteristics" you can do one of two things. Contribute large sums of money or leave. Do not believe you can discuss issues with the Administrators it will label you as a non-cooperative parent. Once labeled that, your child will be scrutinized by teachers to find any and all behaviors that can be used to eject your child from their program. Ask how many students have been asked to leave the school for issues other than safety, drugs or alcohol related infractions. Know that grading varies from teacher to teacher in the Middle school and watch closely your child's behavior as relates to confidence and worry or stress related behaviors. Do not believe that the rule book is applied fairly according to the list. Do not faithfully trust that things are as they seem to be. Watch closely.
The school has a great causes as in donating to Haiti in a fun way, and helping out JH Gunn, a less fortunate school. I love the school and have gone to PDS since TK or when i was 5 years old, ready to be a lifer! The teachers are loving, respectful and very caring. The students get along very well, and are a whole new little family. I know that this school is amazing because the years always go by so fast, and i always want it to slow down a bit more everyday so it will never end! PDS is definately a wonderful school!
Amazing school. Teachers that really care about the students. I have three children attending and everyone is performing and over achieving. Best investment I have made in my children.
Providence Day connects to the 'whole' child - mind, body, and soul, with programs that combine the best in academics, the arts , community outreach and global awaeness. My 2 boys are in 10th and 12th grades this year and have been at PDS since TK and K, respectively. Our tuition dollars are one of the best investment we could have ever made!
They care about well-rounded education and help us reach our individual potentials. It feels like home.
best school i have ever been to and they have some of the best teachers in north carolina
Our family has been at PDS for 11 years and this is truely a wonderful school. The teachers from TK through high-school are superior and both my children (10 and 15) come home excited to llearn everyday. My 15 year old could go to college tomorrow and do fine - the teachers have given him the confidence to tackle new problems and be self suffcient.
Providence Day School is the best private school in North Carolina. Providence Day continues to excel by mainintaining its high standard. They accept only the best students and hire only the best educators. Their student body consists of the extremely bright and gifted. Students accepted for their middle and upper school programs have exceptionally high standardized test scores, excellent grades (94% (3.6 GPA), are 'well-rounded and very likable.' Entrance at the middle and high school levels is extremely competitive. 1 of every 40 interviewed applicants are accepted. Not only do they have the best students, they have the best teachers, best facilities, best food and best athletic programs. To add, a rather beautiful campus. Overall Providence Day receives an A+.
Three years ago and after we toured and attended 9 private school open houses. We knew we were home when we arived at PDS. An awesome location with such a breathtakingly beautiful campus. Not to mention top educators, high-tech and state of the art facilities and awesome summer and extended day programs. PDS has certainly continued to raise the bar out of eyesight of the other NC private schools. Their prescription of including only the best and brightest has kept their Southeast Sure, the tuition is a bit more than the other area private schools but that's EXCELLENCE, right? Providence Day School...Ahhhh, there's no place like home. Parents of three PDS students (5th, 3rd and 1st grade)
A Class of 2004 PDS Alum' and current Princeton University undergrad'. PDS is superb! GO CHARGERS!
Providence Day School (PDS) is by far the best school in the state of NC. I have two graduates of PDS, of which one is a recent graduate of Duke University, my second child currently attends Duke Univ. and my youngest child is a sophomore at PDS. PDS accepts only the best and brightest (top 5% ) . The acadmic program is educationally rigourous, the teachers are high caliber and the facilities are state of the art. The althletic programs are great and include personal trainers. Providence employs only the best teachers for their students. PDS has the best and the brightest and is truly Charlotte's finest.
Porvidence Day School is by far the best school in the Charlotte area and one of the best in NC. The students receive an excellent education. The teaching and administration is by far the best in the country. The facilities and technology are state of the art and cutting edge. This is where you go if you want the best for your child.
Providence Day is simply the best private school in the Southeast. Very difficult to get accepted as admission is based on your child being the best of the best instead of being all kids of alums. PDS kids get accepted at the best colleges. Incredibly high tech campus; great location; unbelievable new facilities; best extended day and summer programs due to lots of career moms; honor code school; kids are not 'cliquey' because many come from outside Charlotte; great sports teams and extracurricular activities; global attitude and teaching style. PDS is a well oiled machine. I could not be happier with my kids' experience and education. You will get your money's worth!
I think honestly that this school is a very high quality school as far as academics, however as far as individuality and being able to do what you want in the environment doesn't seem to happen. The teachers are wonderful for the most part. One thing that I must say is: IF your child wants to be into the arts program, especially theatre, this is probably NOT the best place to go. The administration is VERY conservative of what art can be produced in the school. I do think that PDS is a great school in relation to others in the city though. Just quiet a hefty pay.
Providence Day School has an excellent curriculm for grades K-12. Students are tested and accepted upon basis of their intellectual capacity, which must be in the top percentiles. Curriculum is geared accordingly to challenge students to press the limits of their own achievement potentials. Teachers take personal interest in and lend encouragement--one-on-one--to students. Extra-curricular activities and special school projects which involve students both indivitually and collectively build good interpersonal relationships and self-esteem. Students have a warm feeling of 'family [i.e. Providence Day] belonging.' From K-12 curriculm is ever encouraging students to expand their horizons, to learn, experience, and enjoy more and better. At Providence Day every parent should rest assured that the students are receiving an education for the Academically Gifted and will test well on college entrance exams so they can attend almost any specific college/university of their own choice. Approximately 100% of graduates go on to Ivy League and Prestegious colleges/universities of higher learning. I, myself, was a Certified teacher, guidance counselor,and principal, and uniquely equipped to evaluate schools. I could not have been more pleased with a school than I was with my dauther's experience at Providence Day. She, herself, would give the same glowing assessment of Providence Day.
My children went to Providence Day School when it first was getting started. They both got a good education and today they are leaders in their field. It was hard work for us all. Car pooling and packing lunches, but worth it all.
This school has provided my children with a wonderful education, great friends and the opportunity to learn in an exceptional environment. The teachers work with each child as an individual, allowing each to learn at their optimum pace, and with much care.

With our families invited to join the celebration, we rocked a Just Dance competition, costume and pumpkin carving contests, a green screen photobooth and more! Check out a few highlights from the party here:

The Lower Sewers were the lower level of Undercity sewers of Taris, a dark dank area of the Undercity, populated by Rakghoul and Gamorrean raiders. A secret back entrance to the base of Black Vulkar swoop gang was located behind an energy shield in this area, which led to the Upper Sewers, which connected directly to the base.

Hermione and Viktor had walked around the lake all afternoon. He had told her about Bulgaria and his school. He had opened up about the pressure he felt to excel in all that he did – a concept that had been engrained in him by his over bearing father. When Hermione had confessed that she had seen him play in the Quidditch World Cup he had grinned and asked what she had thought of the game. He laughed as she shrugged and said that she didn't really like quidditch all that much. He surprised her by telling her that he didn't either.
For a finish she hadn't been surprised when he asked her to attend the ball with him. His loneliness seemed almost palpable and she realised that like Harry and Ron he had difficult talking to girls. Who would have thought that a world renowned quidditch player would have stuttered when he asked her, Hermione Granger, to a ball? It seemed almost like a fairy tale.
She would never admit it out loud but she was pleased that it was Viktor that asked her. Not only was he mature, intelligent and charming in his own way he had the added bonus of being one of Ron's idols. Maybe now she could prove to him that she could be viewed as an object of attraction every so often. Not that, she corrected herself, she would ever want to be known solely for her looks but it didn't hurt every so often to be told that you are pretty.
"Viktor asked me to the ball," she confessed to Ginny and giggled at Ginny's slack jawed reaction.
"As in Viktor Krum?" Hermione laughed and nodded feeling flattered yet again that someone had seen her as a girl.
"But how-" Ginny cut herself off holding up a hand. "I thought Ron was going to ask you last night?" Hermione looked down at her lap and plucked a loose thread from her uniform skirt.
"You thought wrong," she said looking up at Ginny and hating the pity that she saw in her friends all t0o familiar blue eyes. "He doesn't know who he's going with yet. But it's not me. Still assessing his best options it would seem". She tried to sound nonchalant but Ginny knew better than anyone how much Ron's rejection had hurt her.
"Well," Ginny said reaching over and putting a comforting arm around her friend. We're just going to have to make sure that he realises exactly what it is he is missing out on."
A few days later Hermione was glad that Ron hadn't asked her. She had never realised how shallow he actually was! Heck, Fleur could have him if she wanted. Hermione was just fine without him.
Well, that wasn't strictly true. Of course she would miss him if Fleur got her evil veela tentacles on him. She sat down at her favourite desk in the library and pulled out the worn copy of Hogwarts: A History. She tried to focus on the words in front of her but they seemed to swim on the page in front of her. Her concentration broke eventually and she returned to her fumings.
It did not matter. Hermione was going with Viktor and she was going to show Ron who had gotten the better deal here. She hadn't had to ask Harry to secure a date for her. She'd done out and found someone for herself and in the library of all places.
Viktor hadn't asked her as a last resort either. Unlike some people. It had hurt more than she'd ever admit when he had turned to her and asked her would she go with him after his failed attempt at asking Fleur. At the time she had been torn between accepting. For a moment she'd completely forgotten about Viktor. She'd envisioned the expression of surprise on his face when she came down the stairs from the girl's dorms. She imagined them dancing slowly in the Great Hall. It would all be perfect.
Then she had come down from her fantasies and hit reality with a bump. Ron was using her as a last resort. He'd no intention of asking her until all of his options ran out. He was a pig, worse than a pig even.
From now on she was going to allow herself to anticipate the dance without any feelings of guilt. She would let Ginny style her hair and apply her make-up. She'd slip on her dress and go down and greet Viktor. He would tell her that she looked beautiful. They would have intelligent conversations over dinner about the sociological differences between muggle-borns and wizards who were raised with magic. After dinner they would dance and she'd marvel how he didn't step on her toes once. At the end of the night he would walk her back to the stairs in the Entrance Hall and would kiss her goodnight. Everything was going to be perfect. She would make sure of it.
Sorry for the shorter chapter than usual but this one was more of a filler chapter. One chapter left to go lads! Excited? I am. :)
Okay, let me know what you think. I'd especially love to see some critiques. :D

Do you like the movies? Do you like the music in movies? Well, do we have a special event for you!
The Arlington Philharmonic and Rachel Franklin, DMA, are excited to announce a new 3-week lecture course devoted entirely to movie music. Experiencing a great film score can have a life-long impact. Director Norman Jewison (In the Heat of the Night, Moonstruck) stated: "The marriage of the moving image and music is perhaps the most powerful visual communication we have." Composers such as Bernard Herrmann, Max Steiner, Ennio Morricone, and John Williams have engraved iconic scenes into our collective memory with their extraordinary music, even if the rest of the movie might have faded.
During this course, we will explore the stories behind some of the greatest film music ever composed. We'll consider the purpose of a fine score and how it both supports and transforms the film so we frequently fall in love with the movie through the music. Film music can inspire and romance us. It can make emotional statements that a script simply can't, it can subvert a plot with a completely different subtext, and inject irony, fear or humor when there is apparently none on screen. Music can salvage a bad movie and make a good one great.
Over three lectures, we'll watch fascinating film clips and discuss the role of the score in each, comparing our responses, and delving into the history and craft behind the composer's work. We'll look at the role of the movie director, the use of classical concert music in countless films, enjoy some Oscar-winning sounds and share great movie trivia. Fasten your seatbelts…it's going to be a fabulous ride!
Read Dr. Franklin's biography here.
May 4: Getting Under Our Skin
A great film score gets under your skin, triggers your subconscious, enhances the drama and helps drive the emotional power train of the movie." Alan Parker (Mississippi Burning, Birdy). While we frequently don't notice the music underpinning the movie, our response to it is pretty much universal. Our pulse can race, we get goose bumps, our stomachs churn, our tear ducts fill up – listening to film music is a very physical business! We begin our conversation by playing Spot the Score and exploring why most of the answers are so well known to everyone. We'll examine the evolution of the movie soundtrack from silent films onwards (these were never actually silent), and dip into some of the most famous moments in movie music history.
Films discussed include:
May 11: Beethoven Goes to Hollywood
The director Sidney Lumet (Network, Serpico) said :"Almost every picture is improved by a good musical score." Judging by the enormous amount of historic classical concert music used in movies, some directors don't want to mess with success!
Beethoven, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Richard Strauss, Mascagni, Bach…works of almost every famous composer over the last three centuries can be found adding emotional depth to hundreds of films.
Is this just piggybacking on the power of classical music or can such use be justified consistently?
Films discussed include:
May 18: Five of the Great Masterpieces
A Civil War Southern belle scrabbling in the dirt for food, a terrifying shower scene, young children processing the evils of racism, lethal gun-toting apes on horseback, galactic heroes fighting with The Force – even these simple descriptions bring music to mind. Max Steiner (1888-1971), Bernard Herrmann (1911-1975), Elmer Bernstein (1922-2004), Jerry Goldsmith (1929-2004), and John Williams (1932) are five of our greatest movie composers, whose works continue to grace screens large and small today. In the interests of time (but not inclination!), we'll examine just one film score by each of these masters, discussing what elements make their music so exceptional and influential in the development of movie scoring techniques.
Films discussed include:

Raptor Resource Project
~ Videos of The Decorah Eagles from Yesterday, April 8th ~
(Click on picture to enlarge it, and click on the words "see more" to expand this post). There are four videos from yesterday, April 8th, in this post. Screen capture is of Dad on the left, Mom's wings as she lands, and you can see two of the eaglets in front of Mom. Many thanks to Jim for making the videos and the screen captures possible!
4/8 (A little redecorating) 3:00pm CT - Dad begins to do a little redecorating with some nesting materials and the eaglets can be seen bobbing up and down in the nest bowl watching Dad hard at work. At about 4:18 into the video you can see D15 test its wings.
4/8 (Home alone) 4:30pm CT - Mom takes off from the nest, leaving the eaglets home alone. About 20 minutes later Dad shows up and begins to nibble on some dinner for himself. The eaglets quickly react to Dad not sharing, so Dad offers them a few bites also. Mom returns and Dad instantly takes off.
4/8 (A little of everything) 7:00pm CT - Mom is on the nest and we see Dad fly in, then Mom takes off soon after. Dad begins to check on leftovers in the nest and then suddenly we see D15 stand VERY tall in the nest bowl and begin showing off, complete with a "PS" at 1:48 into the video. A bit later we see Mom has returned and takes a turn with the leftovers. D15 begins a little head-bonking while Mom is working on leftovers. At about 4:47 into the video Mom begins to feed all three and it's quite obvious D15 has graduated to very large size bites. A day in the lives of the Decorah Eagles includes a little bit of everything.
4/8 (Final exchange and feeding for the day) 8:00pm CT - Dad arises from the nest bowl seemingly by being pushed from below. As soon as Mom returns, Dad takes off. Mom shimmys over the little ones and then the next scene finds Mom getting back up to begin the final feeding of the eaglets for the night. The final feeding includes some sibling rivalry, a "PS" and the perfect example of a very patient Mom who finally decides it's time to tuck them in for the night.
Thanks, Jim!
(I will normally try to post eaglet photos for you, but I could not resist getting a screen cap of Mom's beautiful wingspan for this post, which shows eaglets also. ;)~RR Mod~)

This story is so sad. Bless his heart, trying to save one of God's creatures. He must have had a big heart. Our Creator will reward him for his compassion, I am sure.
Wyoming Man Hit and Killed Moving Injured Rabbit
The Wyoming Highway Patrol says a man was struck and killed by a car while apparently tending to an injured rabbit on a two-lane highway west of Laramie.
The patrol says 79-year-old William Kieren, of Laramie, died Sunday at a hospital in Fort Collins, Colo.
The accident occurred about 9 p.m. Saturday on Wyoming 230, about six miles west of Laramie.
A trooper says Kieren had stopped his vehicle along the highway and was on or near the center line when he was struck by an oncoming vehicle.
The patrol says the rabbit was still alive on the roadway and was eventually put down by a trooper.

Good morning, my fine feathered friends. Glad to see that Nope is back. AW continues to inspire, and I chuckle at his mildly sarcastic comments to the people who view life as a half empty glass (more like empty, actually). It's a beautiful day, and I will go visit Lilly, my pretty buckskin mare. I can't ride, but I can spoil her. The little guy's pony thinks he's a big stud, now that spring is in the air and he casts longing eyes at Lillie. But he's gelded, so it's only a long-lost dream for him. Abeliever is still sending her appreciated uplifting videos, and her on-target assessments of what is going on with mother earth. Have a sunshine-filled day. I'm going out to enjoy the weather, and to heck with the housework. The dust will still be there after I turn to dust. God Bless. Lala.

What another Blessed day;) Even a stuffy nose and sinus problems won't keep this bird down. Days like these makes me think just how brimming full my cup is. We as humans must be content within ourselves to make living worthwhile if not happiness will be lost. I decided to turn up the ceiling fan around here. Avoiding the AC, it's heavy lifting my units so I wait as long as possible to put them in the windows. The birds are quite frisky as well as frogs at night. It's great to be able to have the windows up again. I love the breezes from both day and night coming inside.
Glad to hear the positive enthusiasm spring brings. Planted bell peppers yesterday. Hope, they thrive. As far as birds dying, it appears the bird flu is happening again.
Blessings to OJG and Blue. Last heard her Dad was ill and Blue was looking for a job if memory hasn't failed.
@ Nope enjoy that bike ride. Sure sounds like a terrific way to let down one's hair;)
Fine evening to All. I have the children to tend so I'll pop off for now. Good cheer to all the Fine Folks.

Because it is only dumb to those that insist that the topic remains only on birds, when there are so many other things in GOD's great world to discuss besides birds. What's yout pleasure?
How about the gear ratio in a 25 hp outboard motor or the correct temperature setting for an incubator to hatch baby chicks or the number of times that "Gone With the Wind" has been the tv attraction or the muttom chops of Civil War General Ambrose Burnside for whom sideburns was named ?

Marriage and family therapy is a specific way of caring for individuals, couples, and families. Unlike other mental health professions, licensed MFTs are uniquely trained and required by their professional code of ethics to treat individuals and relationships systemically, much like the way physicians care for their patients. For example, when a patient visits his or her physician with a physical complaint, the physician considers that complaint in the context of all the body's systems in order to understand all the possible physical contributions to that symptom. In that sense, the symptom is seen as a "communication" about what may be occurring in various parts of the body. When one part of the body is impaired or injured, the entire body responds to help that part. The physician therefore conducts a "review of systems" in his or her attempt to understand the ailment in its larger bodily context. MFT's use this same systemic approach when caring for individuals and relationships.
Marriage and family therapists regularly treat the full range of mental and emotional disorders, other health and behavioral problems, and address a wide array of relationship issues within the context of the family system. At any given time, MFTs are treating over 1.8 million people. People treated in this systemic way report marked increase in work productivity, co-worker relationships, family relationships, emotional health, overall physical health, social life, and community involvement. In a recent study, consumers report that MFTs are the mental health professionals they would most likely recommend to friends. Over 98 percent of people receiving this systemic approach to care report services as good or excellent.
The Federal government has designated marriage and family therapy as a core mental health profession along with psychiatry, psychology, social work, and psychiatric nursing. However, marriage and family therapists alone are required both by their unique training and also by law to treat people in this systemic way. They must graduate from training programs accredited by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy which meet specific academic and clinical training standards. Following graduation from an accredited training program, a two-year period of post-degree supervised clinical experience is required before licensure. When this supervision period is completed, they are eligible to sit for their national board examination. Therapists at The Warner Clinic have met training and licensure requirements and are clinical members of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. The Clinic has enjoyed being a practicum and internship training site for MFT graduate students in the past. Individuals, couples, families, and other groups of people are cared for in this specialized way, which is recognized by decades of research to be a highly effective way of caring for people and relationships.
Additional information about marriage and family therapists can be obtained by visiting the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy web site, www.aamft.org.

Product Information
This dog coat is perfect for my 6 pound Yorkie! We live in the mountains and we get lots of snow. My Yorkie needed something that would cover her tummy so the snow wouldn't get her wet and cold on trips outside. This coat is easy to put on and take off and it completely covers her underside.
This coat is awesome for keeping my dog safe. Day or night, she is warm & visible.
The Venture Outerwear Dog Coat is absolutely perfect for my aging Chesapeake Bay Retriever during these harsh Upstate NY winters. She loves the snow and being outside, but due to her advanced age has trouble staying warm. The best thing about this coat is it's method of closure. It is very easy to put on and very secure, unlike some other brands I purchased in the past that didn't have a good design and came undone often. The fit is a little more snug than the dimensions given on the website, but it is by no means tight on my dog. The collar gives it a little more flair and also offers more protection from the weather around the neck area. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Quality is great as well.

I kind of had a hunch somebody would channel Phil Collins doing The Supremes' You Can't Hurry Love, and I don't have to wait long. Brandon is probably a good choice to do it.
He's polished as always, and lacking in excitement, as always, but this is one of his stronger performances, I think. Or else I just like the song better than some of his other choices. But there just doesn't seem to be much intensity, personality, or verve there. Big finish, though -- it's an Idol tradition.
Randy is not pleased, and Paula doesn't seem that thrilled, either, although she tells him he's one of her (12) favorites. Simon crushes him.
Nashville-based Brian Mansfield began writing about music for USA TODAY in 1997 and took over Idol Chatter just before the start of Season 8. He co-authored Make Me a Star: Industry Insiders Reveal How to Make It in Music, and while he has never auditioned for American Idol, he did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at Disney World's American Idol Experience the day the attraction opened (he lost).

I see this a lot, but I don't know if there's a word for it. I'm talking about the knee-jerk reaction for people to look at their own cell phone, when the person that they are talking with starts checking messages on their phone.
Does anyone else notice this, or do you catch yourself doing it at all?
Any suggestions for what to call this?

Hmm.. I'm not sure that's exactly what I'm talking about. Your definition seems to imply that the person is looking at their phone to take advantage of this brief window of time to actually do something useful. I'm talking more of the person that looks at their phone just because the other person is doing it. They have no reason to look at the phone, it just happens. I may be wrong, but I swear this happens.

LABORATORY TESTING and ANALYSIS. We take a sample of blood or saliva for a battery of laboratory tests.
As the goal is to detect and then follow up with any metabloic abnormalities and/or improve insulin sensitivity or blood pressure, lower serum inflammatory markers, improve levels of vitamins and optimize lipid profile. A baseline profile must be established to which future testing may be compared.
Listed below are major of those laboratory tests that are acting as benchmarks of health.
Just as biochemistry could be assessed and risk factors for disease established, so image of vasculature (blood vessels) and heart can quantify the amount of athererosclerotic disease present. Therefore, to further identify potential disease risk factors, a thorough cardiovascular and pulmonary assessment inclusive of carotid artery screen, echocardiogram, aortic diameter (aneurysm survey), femoral artery peripheral blood flow and pulmonary function is done. Ultrasound technology affords us the ability to not only detect vascular endothelial damage, but quantify and track plaque in presence of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and/or size of atherosclerotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (AAA).

A day after the Wells report came out, Tom Brady faced the media. The fans were hoping that the four-time Super Bowl champ would speak his mind about the recent Wells report, which incriminated him in the infamous DeflateGate saga of last season.
But he sidestepped the issue by simple saying: "I don't have really any reaction," he told sports reporter Jim Gray. "Our owner commented on it yesterday. It's only been 30 hours so I haven't had much time to digest it fully but when I do I'll be sure to let you know how I feel about it.
"There's still a (NFL disciplinary) process that's going forth right now, and I'm involved in that process, whenever it happens it happens, and I'll certainly want to be very comfortable in how I feel about the statements that I make."
And now, there are strong rumors circulating that claim the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will suspend Tom Brady next week for his part in DeflateGate. As per Mike Giardi of CSN New England, the question isn't whether Brady will or will not be suspended. His sources have led him to believe that the Patriots have resigned to Brady being hit with a suspension and now they're hoping that the length of his punishment isn't too long.
At this point, the Pats will happily settle for a two-game ban, although Giardi's says they fear the NFL may want to make an example out of Brady and may slap him with a hefty eight-game ban. If that happens, Brady will become the most high-profile to be handed such a punishment in the NFL's 96-year history.
While Brady will continue to remain a hero to his fans, it is disheartening to see that a superstar and a supremely talented athlete like him had to seek unfair advantages to propel his side to a win. It's not just Brady either. In the past decade, we have seen a number of A-list sportsmen indulge in illegal activities to beat their competition. Alex Rodriguez was a good enough player on his own, but the desire for that little extra got him disgraced. Lance Armstrong was another similar case, and who has forgotten Marion Jones?
It seems almost every sport has had several of its top athletes resort to unfair means to bag the elusive success. Perhaps the fame and monetary gains that come with being an elite level sportsman are too much to resist for these guy? Or does the media and public pressure forces them to take this route? Whatever it is, the importance of fair play is lost on today's sports stars, and it's time they're taught that their 'cheat-to-win' is not healthy for their sport.

The POMZ, POMZ-2 and POMZ-2M (ПОМЗ, ПОМЗ-2, ПОМЗ-2М) are three types of Soviet-made stake mounted anti-personnel fragmentation mine. The POMZ mine was used during the Second World War. It was superseded by the POMZ-2, and later by the improved POMZ-2M. These mines (and copies thereof) have been used in numerous conflicts, including the Vietnam War and the Korean War.
The mines consist of a small TNT explosive charge inside a hollow cylindrical-cast iron fragmentation sleeve. The sleeve has large fragments cast into the outside and is open at the bottom to accept the insertion of a wooden or plastic mounting stake. On top is a weather cap, covering a standardised fuze well, which in operation is normally armed with an MUV or VPF tripwire fuze. The tripwire can be set to detonate via both pressure or pressure release.
The POMZ-2M has a threaded fuze well, while the earlier POMZ-2 was unthreaded and the fuze and igniter would sometimes fall out if the mine was disturbed. The POMZ-2 has 6 rows of square preformed fragments, while the POMZ-2M has 5 rows and is slightly shorter.
The crude fragmentation jacket produces an uneven fragmentation effect. The effective radius of the mine is often quoted as four meters @ 360 degrees, but a small number of large fragments may be lethal at ranges far exceeding that.
The wooden stakes tend to rot in tropical climates, leaving the mine, if armed, in an extremely unpredictable state.
Being of simple construction, these mines have been widely copied, including non-standardised patterns from informal guerrilla workshops. Some mass-produced copies:
- Type 58 and Type 59, Peoples' Republic of China (POMZ-2 and POMZ-2M copies respectively)
- MAP and Model 15 (POMZ-2 and POMZ-2M copies)
- PMR-1 and PMR-2A, Yugoslavia
- PP Mi-SK, Czechoslovakia (POMZ-2, used with an RO-1 fuze)
- MM-1, Myanmar (POMZ-2)
- MBV-78A1, Vietnam (POMZ-2)
- PMFH-1,PMFH-2, Cuba (POMZ-2 copies)
These specifications of a POMZ-2 and POMZ-2M are typical for their various copies
|60 mm
|Height of case
|130 mm
|107 mm
|Height of stake
|~300 mm but easily varied
|2.3 kg
|1.8 kg
|75 g rod of cast TNT
|MUV series tripwire
(2 to 5 kg pull)
The POMZ 2M comes packed in a rectangular wooden box which has a clamp in each corner to lock on the lid. It holds eight mine bodies, eight stakes, eight 75g charges, tripwire, and eight MUV series fuzes complete with detonators.

Zendaya graduates from high school
Zendaya Coleman has graduated from high school.
The 18-year-old singer received her diploma from Oak Park High School in California yesterday (11.06.15) alongside Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Gabby Douglas.
The raven-haired beauty documented the ceremony on her Instagram account and captioned a photograph of herself in a monochrome dress: "That senior slay.."
Later she added another shot of herself in her graduation gown and offered her words of wisdom to younger students.
She wrote: "Shout out, not just to all the 2015 grads but to the soon to be! Please remember knowledge is one of the most powerful gifts we have the privilege of receiving...don't take that for granted.
"To every soon to be grad, know that you CAN do it! (if I can get through it then anyone can?) It's a long road, so many things will pose as obstacles in your way and at times the end seems further and further away, but please remember the importance of that beautiful mind you have and all the limitless powers you hold. All my love?#sorryforgettingdeep? (sic)."
Fellow singer Taylor Swift was quick to congratulate her close pal, who recently starred in the video for her latest single 'Bad Blood'.
The blonde beauty wrote alongside a photograph of Zendaya and her classmates: "Cut Throat graduates, I cry endless tears of pride."
