The Story of TED
TED is a platform for ideas worth spreading. Started in 1984 as a conference where technology, entertainment and design converged, TED today shares ideas from a broad spectrum — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independent TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.
TED is owned by a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation. Our agenda is to make great ideas accessible and spark conversation.

|What am I doing? What am I doing...
Henry was a villain in Klay World. He apeared in the episodes; Henry's Shotgun, Dr. Bob saves the day 3, and All gone, in which he serves as the secondary antagonist. He loves guns, and will kill his own friends without mercy.
One day Henry was walking, when Dr. Bob gave him a shotgun. He showed it to his friends, and then started fooling around with it and killed them all but one. Eventually, he got rid of it, so 3 of his friends got him a present; an Uzi. He kept fooling around, pretending to load it but he really did it and killed two of his friends. The other tried to wrestle the gun away from the insane klayman, but Henry fired the gun but accidentally shot the top of his own head off. His friend decided to bring him to Dr. Bob, but he quit before he could treat Henry. A few days later, Dr. Bob hosted a party, so he could secretly start violence that would end Klay World. Henry showed up to the party, but when violence did break out, he just stood there. Eventully he found a mini gun hidden by Dr. Bob in the salad. He used it to kill many klayman including the one who shot his head off. Then Dr. Bob shot him with a rocket launcher, knocking him off the table. Later, Dr. Bob shot and killed his friend Pick, and Chip prepared to kill him, but Henry reveals himself to have survived, and shot it at the table, knocking it over killing everyone but Dr. Bob, Chip and Chip's best friend Rick. Dr. Bob and Chip both survive by holding on to the side of the table and pulling themselves up. Rick survives the fall. Henry notices Dr. Bob and Chip on top of the table and calls them "two naughty klaymen trying to be sneaky" and prepares to shoot the rocket launcher but Rick runs over sticks his arm in rocket launcher, causing in explosion that kills him and Henry. Chip and Bob look at the spot were Rick gave his life to save him, and he prepares to battle to the death with Bob.

In in vivo spectroscopy, there are differences between individual subjects in parameters such as tissue scattering and sample concentration. We propose a method that can provide the absolute value of a particular substance concentration, independent of these individual differences. Thus, it is not necessary to use the typical statistical calibration curve, which assumes an average level of scattering and an averaged concentration over individual subjects. This method is expected to greatly reduce the difficulties encountered during in vivo measurements. As an example, for in vivo absorption spectroscopy, the method was applied to the reflectance measurement in retinal vessels to monitor their oxygen saturation levels. This method was then validated by applying it to the tissue phantom under a variety of absorbance values and scattering efficiencies.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/8/2014 (1095 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Carlene Rummery believes that "every parent needs to know they have a voice."
That's one of the reasons why the 43-year-old south St. Vital resident has announced her candidacy for school trustee in Louis Riel School Division.
Rummery, who is married to Randy and has a 13-year-old daughter who attends École Marie-Anne-Gaboury, will be running for a seat on the school board in Ward 3. The ward is currently served by trustees Sandy Nemeth and Dave Richardson, as well as Wayne Ruff, who is set to retire.
An active volunteer in her daughter's school, Rummery has been a member of its parent advisory council for the past seven years, serving as president for the past two (the role is effective until Sept. 15.). Before that, she sat on the board of her daughter's preschool at Greendell Park Community Centre.
Rummery believes parents shouldn't feel as if they are "looking in" when it comes to important school board decisions which affect their children's education and impact their lives of their families. While she acknowledges the work of the board in the last few years, sometimes in difficult circumstances, she feels more communication and engagement is needed.
"I've witnessed first-hand the division working to do what is best for students and the community, on the whole, over the past few years," Rummery said. "I've also witnessed parents feeling as though the division hasn't adequately addressed their concerns.
"The division needs to expand upon its efforts to reach out to, and communicate with, parents. And more should be done to encourage parents to take active roles in the discussions. One of the single best ways to build a nurturing school community is through parent involvement. Parents can be — and should be — involved with their children's schools and with LRSD as a whole."
Rummery said events that occurred in the division during the past academic year — which saw English program George McDowell School reconfigured as a Grades 6 to 8 single-track French immersion middle years school, and École Julie-Riel and École St. Germain reconfigured as Grades K to 5 early years single-track French immersion schools — further encouraged her to throw her name in the ring.
"Some children are being uprooted and some families are not happy. Some parents felt community consultation was lacking in the process, which is one thing the board and the division need to improve on," she said.
Rummery added that access to information is important for parents who may not have the time or inclination to navigate board meeting minutes or policy-related information.
"No one wants to sift through pages and pages of minutes from these meetings. I read a lot and I find myself glazing over. Talking to parents, I've heard suggestions like bullet points and easy to read summaries."
Rummery's professional roles include executive editor of Prairie books NOW and managing editor of Pediatric Pulmonology.
"Our family lives in this ward and my daughter still has another five years in this division. It's important to me to represent my neighbours — the people who live near me. I wouldn't consider running in a ward I didn't live in. While the board acts as a whole, residents have concerns specific to the schools in their immediate area," Rummery said.

It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Headlight for your automobile. Mercedes-Benz car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of performance when driving their 240D around town. You bought your 240D because its a reputation for strength and European styling agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts? When your Mercedes-Benz 240D rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who prioritizes German engineering in their automobile.
Don't gamble with you and your passengers' safety; each component should be inspected for functionality and replaced if necessary. Perhaps the most important safety parts on your Mercedes-Benz 240D are your headlights. Driving at night or in low-light conditions would be very dangerous without your Mercedes-Benz 240D headlights. All the headlight bulbs must be working properly and replaced when you notice a lack of illumination at night. And if your car or truck is ever in a front end collision, new headlights should be installed because of potential damage.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the correct Mercedes-Benz 240D part for your needs. Procuring new Mercedes-Benz parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement 240D parts on the internet. Don't let a broken Headlight spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the highest quality repair parts. If your car or truck was built in 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, then you will find the correct Mercedes-Benz 240D Headlight parts right here.

The Athens Academy seventh-grader who inspired a community-wide bone marrow drive last March died suddenly on Monday.
"It is with great sadness that I inform you of the death of Kajal Patel," Athens Academy Headmaster J. Robert Chambers said in an email to Athens Academy families on Monday. "We extend to her parents, Dinesh and Tina, her brother, Anshul, her extended family, and her classmates and teachers at Athens Academy our sincere sympathy."
Chambers called Kajal a "quiet, thoughtful girl," who never complained despite living in pain associated with her illness.
"While fighting her illness, she was the inspiration for a bone marrowthon that is providing life-saving marrow to others," he wrote. "She is a hero to many, and her legacy of service to others will live on. The memories of Kajal, the little girl with the big smile, will remain with us as we mourn the loss of her life."
Kajal's classmates, Athens Academy staff, and community members rallied together last March to organize a record-breaking drive to collect profiles of potential bone marrow donors to find a match for Kajal and save her from a disease doctors never could diagnose.
Teams of people camped out at various spots on the University of Georgia's campus and throughout downtown Athens during the 24-hour marathon and registered close to 3,000 people, breaking a Guinness world record set in 2009.
Four matches were identified as potential bone marrow donors, but Kajal faced several health challenges in the months following the drive and was unable to undergo the transplant until Jan. 16. Kajal's brother, Anshul, was her bone marrow donor.
The bone marrow transplant was a success. Last week, doctors told Kajal's family that her white blood cell count was in the normal range and everything was going well.
But Kajal took an unexpected turn for the worst on Saturday.
"At that point, there wasn't anything that could be done," said Athens Academy Middle School Director Brenda Klein. "She was a brave little fighter and it was a long hard fight. ... We feel a really big hole in our hearts here to have lost her."
Kajal's friends came together Tuesday to honor her by wearing red T-shirts and writing her name and hearts on their arms with red markers.
"That was something the children organized on their own," Klein said. "I'm sure there are other ways the children will honor their friend in the future."
After reflecting with the children this week, Klein said faculty, staff and students realized the impact Kajal made on each of them. Klein and others heard various stories of those who found bone marrow matches as a result of the drive held last year.
One story is of Ellis Edwards, a University of Georgia student, who attended the drive and was contacted weeks later and told he was a match for a 6-year-old boy with leukemia
The boy's parents had been told there was a one in 36,000 chance a match would be found for their son. Edwards was a 99 percent match. Recently, Edwards flew to Washington, D.C., and donated his bone marrow to the boy.
"You think of how one life affected so many people and inspired our children and the University of Georgia and the Athens community to do a bone marrow drive and to help this one little girl," Klein said. "It brings joy to us to know that because of Kajal and the bone marrowthon others are finding matches and that's comforting to her family."
Athens Academy will host a service to celebrate Kajal's life at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Spartan Center on Athens Academy's campus. The service will be open to the public. All guests are asked to wear red T-shirts in memory of Kajal.
Athens Academy and Kajal's family have set up a "Be A Hero for Kajal" fund for service and leadership development among area youth. Anyone interested in sending a gift to Kajal and her family is asked to make a donation to the fund at the Athens First Bank and Trust branch in Watkinsville. Donations also can be mailed to Athens First Bank and Trust, P.O. Box 647, Watkinsville, GA 30677.

I think we all agree on that. Serf may have slipped through the cracks, but El-kabong is not immune to that scrutiny. I'm also saying that apr-util seems to have broken the charter, in a very subtle way. On the one hand, the types of things we have in there are Incredibly Useful. However, it seems that the pieces are only useful for very specific applications. El-Kabong is useful (although not immediately necessary) in the same sense as apr-util. I'm just saying we can't have it both ways. -aaron

The name Andreaea rupestris has been widely employed throughout the Andes and elsewhere, however a thorough study is needed to delineate the morphology of this taxon. Andreaea brevipes Spruce (type from Ecuador), recorded for Bolivia, is allied to A. rupestris; A. brevipes may be distinguished by the oblanceolate leaves that are wider above midleaf, and A. rupestris by the ovate- to oblong-lanceolate leaves, wider below midleaf. Differences howevery may only be a part of a broadly defined A. rupestris.

text: Hey guys, sorry this might be a dumb question but... I am trying to decide b/w the DX and the DINC atm. So I was checking out some YouTube Videos on both of them. Through the browser, I would select a video and ... The DX is playing the videos through the YouTube App it seems which allows the video to take up the entire screen. My DINC however uses the HTC Flash Player, which shows up not utilizing the full screen and looks quite .. well unimpressive. So my question is how do I get the DINC to use the YouTube app to play the videos full screen. (I think this was some setting I breezed over before, and now i cannot find.) Also, what media player do you recommend? Thanks in advance.

Well I just returned back from Lifestyle Holiday Resort Villa. First let me say that I'm a Platinum Member here, so my review will be from my point of view as a member and not a regular guest (although I once was - and had a great time).
So I arrived April 23, 2013 from Newark NJ to the Puerta Plata airport with a group of family and friends around 1pm. There was a driver waiting for us in the lobby with our family name. The driver took our bags along with some baggage handlers whom looked for a tip when they were done. Now the bags went into a separate vehicle that followed the limo. Inside the limo was beer, wine & and liquor.
We arrived at the resort about 30mins later to Villa reception. This is when our set of issues happened. The staff at the reception area were different than past visits, and the staff here really needs customer service training. Not say they were rude directly, but they gave fake smiles and greets. Also when I asked for water, they referred me to the Sports Bar down stairs, rather just give me one out fridge behind the counter. However I made it past this hic-up, and when ahead to pay inclusive fee for the 6 bedroom Villa I booked 10 months in advance. I was informed that the 6 bedroom wasn't available and they would give me 2x 3bedroom Villas. I sighed a little but it was ok, as I was warned that if they could give me a 6 bedroom when I arrived I would get the 2x 3 bedroom Villas, so this didn't catch me completely off guard.
I left my guest in the reception area, while I went with the Villa "greeter"(not sure what her title was again) to inspect the two Villas. Both Villas they showed me were old (villa 32B and one behind it). This didn't sit well with me or my spouse at all. In fact my spouse went back to the Villa Reception and demanded they give us two different Villas of better quality. While the spouse was in rage mode, I decided to have a seat, as I never had this problem before. Once everything was cleared up (supposedly they didn't know our membership level and just gave us anything). We ended up staying in Villa 51 and Villa 50 which were great!
Each room in the Villas had central air condition and each Villa had WiFi (you need to get a user name and passcode from Villa Reception- they should give this to you when you check-in, but they don't. You
need to ask). The pools in the back yard were great, although they didn't indicate the depth, but think its about 5ft.
Once everyone unpacked and settled in when picked up the golf cart and our vacation finally started. Making dinner reservations were easy and not a hassle. We pretty had no issues since check-in. The Villas were cleaned daily and the pool man came around daily too.
The restaurants were good, although the Italian was ok at best. I enjoyed the Azul and Simple Gourmet best. I'll try and post some videos and photos for everyone to see. I had a hard time finding real videos from actual guest, so I made it my goal to record one while I was there this year.
Serenity Beach was great, and the VIP Party is something not to miss! I had never seen a party done so big before! Also the Bravissimo show is now at the resort which was a great Vegas style show!
Overall the vacation was great and a chef came over to our Villa to throw us barbecue at no additional cost. Since our membership came with Ocean World tickets we also went there, although it wasn't anything special in my opinion. Probably good if you have kids, but we left ours in the states. I would go back but I hope the reception staff have been re-trained or replaced.
Returning the golf cart was kind of out of the way, as the staff wouldn't let me just drop if off at the reception at asked me to bring it back to golf cart center. That's inconvenient for guest checking out. Once again the reception desk wasn't the best in this situation. They just pointed to an area behind the building and said I need to take the cart there and walk back! I would expect someone to at least walk from behind the counter and physically show me where to go and not just point to some space behind the building. I can't speak about other reception areas, but Lifestyle needs to focus more on customer service and less on expanding.
Garcia the housemaid at Villa 51 was great and Junior whom I see every year was excellent and an asset to the company, as he's always smiling and was one of the most helpful people on the resort.

I'm parsing a document and writing to disk pairs such as these ones:
0 vs 1, true
0 vs 2, false
0 vs 3, true
1 vs 2, true
1 vs 3, false
and so on.
Successively i'm balancing the trues and falses rows for each instance, by removing random lines (lines with true value if they exceed, and viceversa) and I end up with a file such as this one:
0 vs 1 true
0 vs 2 false
1 vs 2 true
1 vs 3 true
1 vs 4 false
1 vs 5 false
The falses are usually much much more than trues, so in the previous example, I could keep only 1 false for isntance 0, and only 2 falses for instance 1.
I'm doing this process in 2 steps, before parsing and then balancing.
Now, my issue is that the unbalanced file is too big: more than 1GB, and most of its rows are going to be removed by the balancing step.
My question is: can I balance the rows while parsing ?
My guess is no, because I don't know which items are arriving and I can't delete any row until when all rows for a specific instance have been discovered.
I hope it is clear.

World of Goo for Linux
Why not build bridges and towers out of little balls of goo? Thats exactly what Kyle Gabler and Ron Carmel asked themselves, and promptly they created an addictive puzzle game that resembles a mixture of Lemmings and a physics simulation. Much acclaimed by the games-world press, World of Goo is about to be let loose on Linux operating systems.
Aim of the game is to build large structures using balls of goo. The "Goos" wait patiently at the beginning of each level for the player to drag and drop them onto the foundations of a bridge or a tower. The Goos connect to other Goos via highly elastic support beams, creating structures similar to those complex molecule chains we remember from the chemistry lab. When completed, the construction provides the other Goos with a path to a waste pipe, and so entry to the next level.
Sounds easy, but don't forget the physics. The structure bends with the wind and is attacked by spinning saw blades and fire. Each level has its own hazard that has to be overcome. To even things up, the player has special Goos with extra talents. Some burn like a fuse, green Goos can be taken out of the construction and others float like hot air balloons.
World of Goois the brainchild of developers Gabler and Carmel, together the founders of the independent gaming studio, 2D Boy. The Windows version, currently available to buy only over the Internet, has been highly acclaimed by the PC gaming press and has received awards from both Gamestar and PC Games.
With Mac OS X and Linux versions announced at publication, the Linux still hasn't appeared. Reason enough for Maks Verver to jump in and help with the porting, which according to manufacturers has already reached the beta phase. Progress of the project can be followed in the forumon the Linux mailing list. Until it arrives, a short videocan be found on the homepage.

Ex-boyfriend, woman charged in UF student's murder
Published: Wednesday, February 2, 2011 at 5:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 12:07 a.m.
Two people were arrested Wednesday for the murder of University of Florida student Saleha Huuda, including a former boyfriend previously accused of domestic battery against her.
Antonio D. Drayton, 24, of Gainesville was charged with first-degree murder and other charges. Cassandra M. Kimbrough, a 42-year-old Gainesville resident who authorities said had also dated Drayton, was charged as an accessory to the murder.
Both Drayton and Kimbrough were also charged with grand theft, abuse of a dead body, tampering with physical evidence and willful burning of land. Firefighters discovered the burned body of Huuda, 21, on Dec. 30 while responding to a small fire near the Gainesville Raceway.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Art Forgey said authorities believe the fire was set to cover up the crime. A medical examiner's report released Wednesday determined that Huuda was killed before the fire was started.
The report listed her cause of death as "homicidal violence" of an undetermined type, but an investigation is ongoing into an exact cause.
Huuda was a UF senior majoring in family, youth and community sciences, a competitive cheerleader on a UF club team and a member of local dance groups. A native of Ghana who came to the U.S. as a young girl, she graduated from P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School and attended Santa Fe College before enrolling at UF.
Her family members couldn't be reached Wednesday for comment.
Drayton had dated Huuda, but they had reportedly broken up before he forced his way into her Gainesville apartment on June 16. He was accused of kicking in the door of a locked bathroom that she was in, pushing her down and choking her, before leaving with $1,000 in items. He was charged with battery, burglary and larceny.
Kimbrough played a role in the charges being dropped, writing a letter to authorities disputing the allegations. Huuda also wrote a letter saying that she would not testify against Drayton, and the State Attorney's Office decided against prosecuting the case.
In a conversation with The Sun last month, Drayton said he was drunk at the time of the incident and admitted to pushing Huuda while disputing the other allegations. He said that he had exchanged text messages with Huuda on the night that she went missing but denied involvement in her death.
He claimed that red paint was splattered on his door early Jan. 1, suggested that Huuda's family was involved, even though her body wasn't identified until later that day.
Huuda's missing car was subsequently found in a southwest Gainesville neighborhood. The grand theft charge was related to the theft of the car, Forgey said.
Detectives were interviewing Drayton and Kimbrough late Wednesday before booking them into the Alachua County Jail, so an arrest warrant with details on the charges was not yet available.

Practice Area: Employment and labor
Outcome: Resolved
Description: In 2008 and 2009, Mr. Marshall represented a Smithsonian worker in a whistleblower lawsuit alleging that management at the Air and Space Museum had retaliated against him for speaking out about dangerous levels of asbestos in the museum's walls. After lighting specialist Richard Pullman filed his whistleblower complaint under the Clean Air Act, the Smithsonian admitted it had known about the asbestos since 1993 but had not told the workers about the problem. Mr. Marshall and KMB associate Alexis Rickher litigated Pullman's case before the Department of Labor, and negotiated a successful settlement in July 2009.

(Currently compatible with X4S3 and X5S).
1, 2Additional license required
3 X4S does not support DNG RAW or Apple ProRes
The Inspire 2 creative workflow has been completely optimized and is now capable of recording video in CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes, and other common formats for post-production in filmmaking. Also supported are FAT32/exFAT* file systems, which allow fast copying of files direct from the CINESSD without additional software.
* Coming soon.
Forward and downward vision systems enable the Inspire 2 to detect obstacles up to 30 meters ahead, allowing for protected flight at up to 34mph (54kph) at a controllable attitude angle of 25°. Upward facing infrared sensors scan obstacles 16.4ft (5m) above, adding protection when flying in enclosed spaces. Obstacle sensing systems are active during normal flight, RTH and all Intelligent Flight Modes.
These sensors are core components of the DJI FlightAutonomy system.
Spotlight Pro is a powerful tracking mode that allows even single pilots to capture complex, dramatic images. It uses advanced visual tracking algorithms to lock onto a subject during flight, regardless of the direction that the Inspire 2 flies, creating shots that would once have required a dedicated camera operator. If the gimbal comes close to reaching its rotation limits, the Inspire 2 itself will rotate in the same direction without affecting flight control or the shot being captured to free up gimbal movement.
It has two shooting modes, Quick Mode and Composition Mode. In Quick Mode, select an object to begin tracking. In Composition Mode, select the subject and the tracking position. When the subject enters the preset tracking position, press the shortcut to begin tracking. The gimbal can be moved during shooting for composition adjustments. Spotlight Pro is available in all Intelligent Flight Modes including ActiveTrack, TapFly, Waypoint and Point of Interest.
In addition to Spotlight Pro, a range of other intelligent flight and shooting modes are available. Obstacle avoidance is optimized when using Point of Interest* and Waypoint* modes, making complex shots simple and repeatable. It is also available for QuickSpin, TapFly and ActiveTrack simplify more challenging shots.
*Coming soon.
The 2-axis onboard FPV camera separates the flight view from the main camera view, effectively giving the Inspire 2 a dedicated TapFly camera. Tap a point onscreen in FPV view set a flight route and the Inspire 2 will automatically fly along that route, leaving the pilot to focus on gimbal movement.
ActiveTrack Mode allows the Inspire 2 to recognize a range of objects, from people to bikes to cars to boats. Tracking profiles that can be adjusted based on the subject being tracked means greater tracking precision.
Forward and downward vision systems allow the Inspire 2 to create a real-time map of its flight route as it flies. If the video transmission system signal is lost and Smart Return Home is enabled, it is able to fly home along its original route, and change to a straight line when it regains a signal.
As it returns, it will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 200m in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home. It is also able to reconnect more quickly after losing connection.
The latest update to DJI Lightbridge technology has an effective transmission distance of up to 4.6mi (7km)* and is capable of delivering both 1080p/720p video as well as FPV to pilot and camera op. Users can also switch between 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz** control frequencies to cut through noise for greater signal stability.
*Unobstructed, free of interference, FCC compliant. **5.8GHz transmission is not available in some regions due to local regulations.
New wireless HD image transmission technology sends video information from the master controller to the slave controller and the two controllers can be up to 100m apart without loss of image quality.
Broadcasters can broadcast direct from the Inspire 2 using its dedicated 1080i50 and 720p60 transmission signal. Aerial live-streaming direct to TV is as simple as connecting the Inspire 2 remote controller to the satellite truck.
A new propulsion system optimized for power creates a new level of flight performance. The Inspire 2 flies at speeds up to 67mph (108kph) descends at 9m/s and climbs at 6m/s. It can accelerate from 0 to 50mph in just 4s and fly at a max altitude angle of 40°.
The two controller sticks are tuned for more sensitivity, making delicate maneuvers easier.
More power also allows the Inspire 2 to fly in more extreme conditions, including over 2500-5000m above sea level (using optional dedicated propellers), and in temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C) using self-heating Intelligent Flight Batteries.
Reliability has been further enhanced through dual redundancy of key modules such as the IMU, compass and barometer. The intelligent flight control system monitors the redundancy system, giving it accurate flight data.
The new obstacle sensing system helps the Inspire 2 sense and avoid obstacles, minimizing the risk of collision.
Dual batteries mean that if a problem occurs on one battery the other is able to continue flight long enough for a safe landing. At the same time, the Inspire 2 propulsion system is driven a PWM signal with serial port signal redundancy so that if PWM signals are lost, transmission will continue through the serial port.
This propulsion system has been tested for thousands of hours to ensure reliability, when combined with key sensors and a dual-battery design, overall flight reliability is significantly enhanced.

Kandiyohi County will seek Heart-Safe designation
WILLMAR -- Reflecting intensive countywide efforts to reduce sudden cardiac deaths, Kandiyohi County is applying for designation as a Heart-Safe County.
The application received formal support this week from the County Board of Commissioners.
The Heart-Safe designation recognizes communities that promote CPR education and the availability of automated external defibrillators for rapidly responding to sudden cardiac arrest. It is awarded through the American Heart Association and the Minnesota Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survivors Network.
In Kandiyohi County, a coalition has been working toward this goal for several years.
Coalition member Kim Lindahl, of the county's emergency management department, said the group has helped acquire and place more than 100 automated defibrillators to date.
Seventy of the devices are in community settings such as churches, workplaces and grocery stores.
There also are 32 AEDs in law enforcement squad cars, eight with county fire departments and one with the Kandiyohi County Rescue Squad.
In addition, the coalition has organized 16 CPR classes for ambulance personnel and 85 CPR courses at Ridgewater College, plus hosted 10 events for the public.
Sudden cardiac arrest happens when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. Without treatment, death usually occurs within minutes. Quick access by bystanders to an automated external defibrillator can mean the difference between life and death.
Lindahl said the Heart-Safe designation for Kandiyohi County will "recognize and continue to promote the placement of AEDs."
County Commissioner Jim Butterfield said a friend of his was saved a few years ago by prompt use of an AED.
"If it wouldn't have been for that, he wouldn't be with us today," he said.

Journey to La Salle's Settlement(2009)
(The fifth book in the Mr. Barrington's Mysterious Trunk series)
A novel by Melodie A Cuate
"Now don't change history while I'm gone," Mr. B had said before leaving Hannah and Nick to lock the trunk in the classroom closet. Despite Hannah's pledge to comply, a trickle of beach sand and a slosh of seawater turn to a flood tide after she lifts the lid. The siblings, along with their friend Jackie, find themselves in a wooden canoe off the seventeenth-century Texas coast - with a gale approaching and nothing to get them home but a magic ring and a list of riddles. No sooner does their rescuer, Sebastien, haul the trio aboard ship than they are pressed into service on the doomed French bark La Belle. Blamed for shipwreck, attacked on shore by arrow-firing Karankawa warriors, and chased by alligators, Hannah, Jackie, and Nick rush to complete the scavenger hunt with the aid of the settlement's resourceful colonists. From the Talon family they learn survival skills in the dense, dangerous woods - as they teach a few lessons of their own. But when a feverish Hannah collapses on the night of La Salle's long-awaited return, will a gold coin turn up in time to redeem her life?

Do You Spit When You Exercise?
When I'm exercising outdoors, whether I'm running, biking, playing volleyball, or whatever, sometimes I just need to spit. I mean with all that huffing and puffing, saliva just ends up collecting in my mouth, and swallowing it just seems icky, so I just get rid of it. Hey, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do, right? Of course, I try to do it when no one's around since most people think it's pretty unlady-like and unsanitary. What about you . . .

winkel centrum antwerpen
Close to central station The area where the hotel is location is a bit shady.
winkel centrum antwerpen
middle of the city
I like everything. Clean comfortable good furnished, helpfull people. Eveything excellent. The owner hans van der bissen he is very helpfull and he did his best for my accomodation.
Bright, airy apartment with well resourced kitchenette and excellent bathroom. Helpful manager. Would have been nice to have a change of towels, etc after, say, 3 nights. - I stayed 6.
IT was more then I expected. Clean, all comforts that could be wanted. Brilliant hotel nothing
Close to central station The area where the hotel is location is a bit shady.
Convenience, good internet connection, friendly staff who checked me in. This place is a dump. Very old, shabby, desperate need for makeover. I am surprised that the comments are so positive. The room is large and has a kitchen, but I did not feel well here. Everything was old and used for ages, especially the towels. The garage is also incredibly difficult to drive in. I'm used to staying at Motel One and Best Westerns, which sometimes for the same price offer much better quality. Maybe in Belgium one gets less quality for money -don't know.
Room was clean, spacious and well equiped. Quiet and never desturbed by staff. Unfortunately lack of parking, but this is the same all over Antwerp.
The room and kitchen had all the furnishings needed.
Very nice staff, good size studio, not far from Antwerp city center. Nothing to complain about.....
Location, spacious apartment with all facilities for our family with two children
Very suitable if you just need a place to stay for the nights spending your entire days at the conference. No luxuries, including cold water only during one evening.
The room is so big and have a good design. Check in hours finishes earlier
The flat/room was spacious, fully equipped kitchenette, warm, cozy, friendly manager. The location is great, too, quiet neighborhood and 10 min walk from downtown. Thin walls. You can hear everyone in near rooms... walking, talking, everything... There was the smell of a sewer from the bathroom in the morning, but I felt it too downtown, so it isn't just hotel's problem. The lights in the room could be more bright, you must turn on all the lights so you can see normally...
The room was really big The walls were paper thin. You could have participated in the conversation of people staying next door, without raising your voice.
Cheap and cheerful, staff helpful and complementary coffee a nice treat. Parking good but mention should be made that it is a pay parking area during working hours. some mildew in the shower and a minor smell. Damage to skirting boards but in all not bad condition. Walls thin with not much sound absorbing quality - snoring from next door very audible.
I felt really comfortable coming or going as I pleased. I had my own key to enter or leave on my own time. I felt the room, bathroom, should have been cleaner. There was mold, and the sofa was worn considerably.
It was a lovely stay in a lovely flat. I loved having a space to cook proper meals, it made the vacation much nicer. The walls are a little thin and some neighbors can be a little obnoxious sometimes.
There were chocolates lying in my pillow when I checked into my room. The room was tastefully decorated, clean, and private. The hotel is an interesting part of the city, kind of off the beaten path. Lots of ethnic restaurants and stores are two blocks away.
fairly reasonably priced, everything in flat including kettle fridge tv stereo sytem,etc, friendly and knowledgeable manager on site. lift was out of order one night and had to walk up some fairly steep stairs, not in the best part of antwerp, no parking facilities you have to park on street and pay at ticket machine, slats on the bottom of bed broke, thin walls so you can hear noise from other flats

"A & E Visit 25th Oct 2014 10.30am-12.30pm mixed..."
About: Calderdale Royal Hospital Calderdale Royal Hospital Halifax HX3 0PW
Posted by Anonymous
The purpose of this review is to inform whoever it may concern about the mixed experience I received as a A & E Patient I had an accident training my horse the evening before and was in severe pain, could not walk, was in wheelchair - this was how I was processed: Upon arrival the lady behind the reception - was fabulous - I was emotional (trauma) and she was very understanding The Triage Nurse who collated details - was again really lovely, giving me painkillers, again very understanding The Doctor appeared cavalier in his approach, took the details and said he would not examine me until I had had an x-ray - we thought this was sensible. After producing the x-ray note for the radiographer, he said that the radiographer may balk at the request - we were puzzled (internal politics) The radiographer queried the note from the doctor and said it was too much, left me to discuss with doctor-upon her return she escorted me into the x-ray Room I was in severe pain - and was unable to put my body into the 'best' positions for some of the x-rays - at this the radiographer became frustrated saying that she had important patients to deal with, and needed to hurry up. I was made to feel less important, a nuisance- at this stage, and became upset. x-rays were completed and I returned to the doctor - who quickly looked at the x-rays and concluded 'nothing broken' told me to go home with painkillers and anti-inflammatories and to go to my GP if things got worse. The doctor did not examine me at all - we were puzzled - but left the hospital. On my way out I put the red disc into I would recommend this hospital to family and friends - and thought that actually this is giving the wrong information. Based upon my experience - where the doctor did not examine me, nor appeared to care or show interest, where the radiographer showed an apparent lack of patient care - I would not recommend your hospital. I did return to my GP (two visits) - who did examine me and confirmed severe torn hamstring - I am now being referred to a specialist tomorrow. So disappointed, that some of your staff are so lacking in patient interest and care .. I am a regular user of your hospital with my elderly mother … and our confidence is now quite shaken.

I will be rewriting the first paragraph, fixing all spelling/grammar mistakes, and just polishing the story up in general. I will be making the story more of a fairytale-esque sort of thing. Anyway, I just thought I'd keep you all updated on how things are going.

As written, the law exempts the SEC from disclosing records or information derived from "surveillance, risk assessments, or other regulatory and oversight activities."
In letters to the House Financial Services and Senate Banking committees on July 30, the SEC argued that regulated firms would refuse to provide needed documentation to examiners over concerns that it would eventually be publicly disclosed.
The new law is "critical to our ability to develop a robust examination program that better protects investors," Shapiro wrote.
"This provision does not provide a "blanket" SEC exemption from FOIA and is not designed to protect the SEC as an agency from public oversight and accountability," she said.
Still, lawmakers began expressing concern last week that the measure would provide too much protection from the FOIA and wouldn't allow for needed transparency.
"By exempting the SEC from Freedom of Information Act requirements, the new law lets Wall Street and the SEC continue to avoid scrutiny and accountability," Grassley said. "Our legislation will help plug this glaring hole in the new financial regulation law."
The law was meant to ensure that the SEC has access to the information it needs to carry out its new enforcement powers, "not to shield information from the public," Leahy said in a release. "I have been troubled by the sweeping interpretation that the commission has expressed, to date, that these exemptions would shield all information provided to the commission in connection with its broad examination and surveillance activities."
Cornyn said the "SEC should play by the same rules of transparency as every other government agency."

Underscoring the progress being made in the joint, worldwide fight against malaria , Congressmen Ander Crenshaw (R-FL) and Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Co-Chairs of the Congressional Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases Caucus, today introduced a House Resolution highlighting the goals World Malaria Day (4/25), including a 2015 target date for ending malaria.
Crenshaw issued the following statement after the introduction of the legislation on Tuesday, April 23:
"Through the comprehensive partnership of many United States program, agencies, and organizations, our nation is playing a key role in bringing health and stability to other nations through the eradication of malaria. Witness the results we've helped achieve between 2000 and 2010: a 26 percent decrease in malaria mortality rates around the world; a 33 percent reduction in mortality rates in the African Region of the World Health Organization, and an estimated 1.1 million fewer deaths averted globally due to increased intervention.
"Further teamwork between governments, the private sector, relief, and faith-based organizations will grow these numbers even larger and take the world closer elimination of a preventable, treatable disease and the death and associated problems it brings to so many.
"That's a goal in the long-term interest of our nation and all countries. World Malaria Day on April 25 serves a rallying point for all to support the accomplishments to date and reaffirm a target date of 2015 for ending malaria around the globe. I strongly encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join me in this fight."
Congressman Gregory W. Meeks said, "With the growing participation and support of leading innovators in disease prevention, medical research, health care delivery services, in the faith-based community, business, academia, and government, I am confident that we can continue and in fact accelerate bringing awareness to this issue as well as expand tangible progress in saving hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives from this entirely preventable and treatable disease. "
Rep. Meeks further stated, "In doing so, we are also demonstrating that bipartisan cooperation can bring needed help to people here in the United States and around world. I hope that our resolution in support of the goals of World Malaria Day will inspire Democrats and Republicans on both sides of the aisle in both house of Congress to support efforts to eradicate malaria by 2015."

KITCHEN BOOKSHELF; Spring Offerings to Enthrall Armchair Cooks and Travelers
By NANCY HARMON JENKINS
Published: March 27, 1991
FROM Greece to China, by way of Ireland and the Caribbean, American cooks are becoming culinary armchair travelers while travelers may well be turning into armchair cooks, if the current crop of cookbooks is anything to go by. More than collections of recipes, the best of these new books also inform us about other places, other people and often other times.
Diane Kochilas's FOOD AND WINE OF GREECE St. Martin's Press, $22.95) is as interesting for its insightful look at Greek cuisine in a cultural and historical setting as it is for the actual recipes. A fine resource in the kitchen, it is also a great introduction to the subject for anyone planning a trip to Greece.
The food comes from all over the country and beyond -- a cabbage-rice pilaf from northeastern Thrace, olive bread from Cyprus, rabbit stew from Crete, veal dishes from Corfu and even one recipe from the Greek-American kitchen.
Traditional dishes include trahana (dried pasta made with yogurt), mageiritsa (a robust soup of lamb innards served on Easter Eve) and kakavia (Greek bouillabaisse). But there are also new-style Greek recipes that use national ingredients in fresh and interesting ways, like a fine dish of macaroni with an olive, tomato and caper sauce.
Greek food has had a bad reputation as greasy spoon food, both here and in Greece. It is time to reverse that impression and this book may well help do so.
Nina Simonds's CHINA'S FOOD (HarperPerennial, ($19.95) is a guide to restaurants, markets and teahouses all over China. It has no recipes, but it is so full of good food that it is bound to whet appetites, even of stay-at-home cooks who could turn to this author's earlier cookbooks for instructions.
Ms. Simonds has traveled widely in China, and like Ms. Kochilas in Greece, she knows that food is most fascinating in its cultural and historical context. Her brief chapter on Confucian banquets in the sage's hometown of Qufu, for instance, is enticing and enlightening.
Wisely, the book is comprehensive without trying to be encyclopedic. But I wish it had been more carefully edited. I was intrigued by sentences like this: "Of the six first-level waitresses in the city [ of Hangzhou ] , the Tianxianglou employs two" -- intrigued and longing for an explanation.
MYRTLE ALLEN'S COOKING AT BALLYMALOE HOUSE (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, $24.95) is a brief but delightful collection of recipes from what travelers have hailed over the years as one of Ireland's finest kitchens. Mick Hales's photographs are delightful but a real handicap for the cook.
This is not the kind of book on whose pages one wants to drizzle melted butter while making, for instance, Dingle pies made of spiced mutton. More's the pity. With its lovely recipes, the book should be in use in the kitchen, drizzled butter and all.
History teaches us that the Irish kitchen is a poor one, yet this is luxurious cuisine -- luxurious but not ostentatious. The finest local produce, the freshest fish, the sweetest cream, the richest butter -- Mrs. Allen has built her culinary reputation on products like these. I would rather have had more of her gentle voice and her recipes and fewer lavish illustrations.
The surging interest in Caribbean food has brought an equivalent surge of cookbooks with at least four new ones, and more to come.
SKY JUICE AND FLYING FISH: TRADITIONAL CARIBBEAN COOKING by Jessica B. Harris (Fireside/Simon & Schuster, $12.95 [ paper ] ) is the most wide-ranging of these and the one I would select if I had to choose just one of the four. But the true aficionado will want to take a look at Virginie F. and George A. Elbert's DOWN-ISLAND CARIBBEAN COOKERY (Simon & Schuster, $24.95) and Dunstan A. Harris's ISLAND COOKING: RECIPES FROM THE CARIBBEAN ( Crossing Press , Freedom, Calif., $10.95 [ paper ] ).
These books can be kept together for handy cross-referencing next time the menu calls for callaloo (the ubiquitous Caribbean fish-and-greens stew) or keshy yena (Edam cheese stuffed with meat or fish) or any of dozens of other tasty dishes.
Compare, for instance, the many ways of doing jerk meat, the spicy peppery Jamaican marinade for barbequing goat, pork, mutton, beef or chicken. Ms. Harris's recipe is a little simpler than the one the Elberts use, with a touch of dark rum and nice instructions to roast allspice berries before grinding. The Elberts, on the other hand, call for tamarind concentrate in their jerk recipe. Which is more authentic? It's a toss-up because in traditional folk preparations, authenticity is a concept without much meaning.
Inexplicably, Mr. Harris, although he is Jamaican, only mentions jerk in his introduction without any instructions. On the other hand, both Mr. Harris and Ms. Harris, who are not related, use casaree, a thick cassava syrup and an authentic touch, in their recipes for pepperpot, while the Elberts' casaree-less pepperpot sounds more like callaloo.
Then there is Devra Dedeaux's SUGAR REEF CARIBBEAN COOKBOOK (Dell, $9.95, [ paper ] ), a collection of recipes from a Manhattan restaurant with a Caribbean theme. Sugar Reef's jerk chicken may be the tastiest of all, with its addition of orange juice and soy sauce, but is it authentic? Who knows? Beyond the recipes, the book is unreliable: Chinese were not brought to the Caribbean as slaves, for instance, but as indentured workers, and Jamaican stamp-and-go fritters are made from codfish, not black-eyed peas, to mention two errors picked up on a cursory once-over.

A New Sensitive Detection Scheme for Helium Nanodroplet Isolation Spectroscopy: Application to Benzene
A new method is presented for recording excitation spectra of molecules embedded in helium nanodroplets. The method relies on the complete evaporation of the droplets following excitation of an dissolved molecule and the subsequent detection of the remaining unsolvated molecule by mass spectrometry. The technique has been successfully applied to record the S1 1B2u ← S0 1A1g transition in benzene. The transition frequencies determined by this new method, beam depletion spectroscopy and REMPI spectroscopy have been found to differ slightly from each other. It is argued that these differences in transition frequency are related to the different droplet sizes probed by the spectroscopic techniques.
