Okay, so my guy friend and I have been friends for years. I've always felt like there was something between us, but I never did anything, until recently. I'm in high school by the way... So the other week I asked him to go see a movie with me. He said yes, he even paid for the movie tickets and food, even though I invited him (he is very shy so I have to initiate conversation when we text.) His mom and my mom our good friends and his mom told mine that he had specifically asked her for extra money ahead of time so he could pay for me. Then I asked if he wanted to do something with me again and he said, yeah definitely. He suggested mini golf Saturday night! Mini golf at night is totally a date right? Well unfortunately he had a soccer game and couldn't do mini golf with me (he's the captain of his soccer team so he couldn't miss it.) But he assured me he wanted to do something another time. So then his mother told my mom that he was, "upset because he couldn't do mini golf." She also told my mom that he is shy and doesn't text first, all of which my mom then told me. Anyway, last night I was texting him for three and a half hours! He was really engaging and used the laughing emoji almost every text, which is interesting for someone who's shy... He also slipped into conversation that he doesn't have anymore weekend games, after I stated, "Wow, you must be pretty busy with soccer." He could of just said, yeah, or not really, but he didn't, unfortunately he also didn't suggest another time to get together. He just means so much to me and I want to be sure that he likes me before I potentially try to progress our relationship. I would love your help, thanks for reading. :)

Because he asked for more money and stated he was upset he couldn't go I think it is a safe bet he likes you. He shyness can be crippling though, to the point his behavior is totally confusing to you because he shows little to no interest. Shy guys hide in a shell. They literally freeze with fear when it comes to talking about their feelings and expressing interest. That fear and extreme awkwardness is terrible to go through. Therefore it is just easier to avoid it all together. This is why he is so hard to initiate anything and why he won't set a new date for the one he missed out on. He can eventually break out of the shell, but it takes time, a lot of confidence and a lot of patience. This is where you will need to step up here and make the moves for a little while. Once he gets use to you, use to being with you, use to talking to you, his comfort zone and confidence will expand. Eventually he will be totally fine. Don't be afraid to show interest and make the moves. Another thing with shy guys is that they typically feel inferior to girls, like he has no business asking you out, or like he isn't good enough. So it is imperative right now to let him know you do like him, he is good enough and you want to spend time with him.11|00|0
Thanks! Words cannot express how grateful I am for your response. I think it's hard because we're both shy, but your answer makes a lot of sense. I think that he might shut people out even more because his last girlfriend broke up with him because he wasn't moving as fast as she wanted and said he was too "awkward" when referring to his shyness. (unfortunately his mom told me this and not him, and no I don't gossip about him with him mom. Our families are just really close and I've known her forever so she tells me these things.) Anyway, your answer truly does make me believe he likes me. I appreciate you enlightening me on "shy guys" and for making me feel more comfortable with our friendship/relationship. :)
- Show AllShow Less
Trust me, his mom knows him better than anyone. If she said he was upset, it doesn't matter how he specifically expressed it, he wants to be with you! Don't start seconding guessing, LOL!
Thank you so so much for all your help/ input!!

Some friends and I (baby boomer age) are hosting a wedding shower for a friend. Any tips for showers for more mature brides? We dearly love this woman (who has been married before, but is a widow) and want it to be fun but not R-rated!
Tooz from Kentucky

A group of friends pooled our money and kidnapped the bride to be, took her to the mall shopping with the money we had collected and then treated her to dinner at a favorite restaurant. That was such a success that when another friend was to get married, we repeated the fun. They both had grown children and had their households well established.
When having a shower I always hated the games using paper and pencil. This game you ask the guest questions, etc. 1. who has the most buttons, 2. who has the most rings, the most keys on their key rings 3. who is wearing black panties, etc. It's a lot of fun without a lot of planning.
Is it a shower or a bachelorette party? I've never heard of an r-rated bridal shower. Just do the normal thing-- send invitations that tell where she is registered, play goofy shower games, eat food, etc. They may not need lots of household stuff but they could register for gifts anyway.
I had a bridal shower for a wonderful friend of mine and we all had such a great time. My friends aunts and great aunts even had a good time.
One of the games I planned was:
Bridal Shower Pictionary
I had a dry erase board (borrow or purchase one, saves on paper and you and your family may use it like we do to play at home) made up an easel to hold the board or you may find a nail in the wall where ever you are holding the party that will hold the board.
I made up different index cards with all things related to a wedding or marriage on them. Then we divided up into equal teams and with our dry erase markers in hand the fun began. The team with the most points at the end won the prize (depending on your budget you could give everyone something). I set a 2 minute time limit for each turn/card. Not everyone wanted to draw but they all had a great time trying to guess what was being drawn.
I wish you the best of luck and a wonderful time!
A couple of ideas. My future daughter - in - laws party was at a friends. First thing was when someone got there, they were handed a clothes pin, springy kind, and told to attach it somewhere on there clothing. Whenever someone said the future brides name, they lost their clothes pin to the one that noticed they said her name. The one with the most pins at the end of the party got a prize.
Also, on a piece of paper have everyone write down the bride and grooms name,(John Doe & Mary Smith) then have them find as many words as possible from their names in 5 minutes. The one with the most gets the prize.
Also,very fun, everyone got a roll of toilet paper and the bride stood in the middle of the room and everyone made a wedding dress on her. Gown, trane, bouquet , head dress and even the ring. That was lots of fun.
Another look at the toilet paper wedding dress.
We had a shower a month ago for my grandma's sister (Widowed many years ago) and our future Uncle the same. We did a combined shower and played "BRIDAL BINGO". Everyone is handed a blank bingo page and you add names of guests on your sheet, each guest must put thier name on a small square sheet of paper and place in a bowl. It was nice to meet his family and know their names before the wedding.
At the wedding, it was nice to know their names and talk about how the bingo game made it easy to break the ice.
Hope this helps,

Dexter Season 5 Episode 7, Dexter season 5 episode 7 called "Circle of us," which was directed by John Dahl and written by Scott Buck aired tonight on Showtime.
The fifth season has been so far has been progressing very slowly, but the episode this week assured us that things are about to turn and the plot moves at a faster past now – in all fronts.
In "We Circle the predictable happened – Dexter and Lumen have become partners in crime and went to hunt down the men who raped her.The duo now have a target-Cole Harmon Jordan who is chief of security but to do their job effectively Dexter throws them off the track for kindly lead police to the existence of Boyd.
Debra & Quinn:
Quinn is trying to continue his research on Dexter with the help of agent Stan Liddy, but things get complicated because Alma begins to have feelings for him, and he has admitted he was also drawn.
The killings 'Santa Muerte':
Deb establish surveillance to catch the Fuentes brothers, who are the prime suspect in the killings of the 'Santa Muerte' despite opposition from the boss sees it as a waste of time and money.
Error in the operation ends with a spectacular shootout in the club that was infiltrated by agents.
Here is a brief summary of the episode:
By helping Lumen, Dexter puts on a collision course with Debra and the homicide division, and things get worse when he was brought to work a horrific crime scene, and Debra investigation in the killing of Santa Muerte, takes to a deadly confrontation with the murderers. Meanwhile, Quinn begins to question his accomplice in his investigation of Dexter.
Overall it was a pretty solid episode where Dexter is involved in serious trouble because of Lumen have found a friend, lover and mother to their children even in this broken woman. The highlight of the episode is undoubtedly the revelation that Cole, Jordan, Boyd, Dan the dentist has known since they were kids.

my income+career goal investigation
by asiah northern
computer science class-period 6
completed:07 march 2014
description of my search
The results of my Vocational Choice Survey (A) showed that showed that I am Conventional, Enterprising, and Social. According to the College and Career (AA) handout the three career choices I made were TV Newscaster, Camp Director, and Travel Agent.
After consulting with my partner, I decided to look more closely at becoming a Travel Agent. Here is a link to the "Career Builder" link to the requirements for that career:
For me to complete my career goal I'm going have to finish high school and get into a great college. Next once I'm in college I would study pass exams and everything for my grades and Traveling degree. While I'm in college I will have a daily job to pay for my college fees. Once I graduated from college I'll go back to my home town to study and get ready for traveling school however, I'm in travel school so I would have at least some experience of traveling.
The income levels for a Traveling Agent are at the following link:
I want to work in South Africa, and I have a plan to attend IHG Agent University for both the undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
Here is a link to the costs for tuition for IHG:

text: Hudson Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: HDSN) announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased 29% to $15,768,000 from $22,251,000 in the comparable 2012 period. Net income for the second quarter was $334,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $5,135,000, or $0.22 per basic share and $0.20 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, revenues increased 4% to $38,645,000 as compared to revenues of $37,105,000 in the first six months of 2012. The Company reported a net income of $4,803,000, or $0.20 per basic share and $0.18 per diluted share in the first six months of 2013, compared to net income of $7,644,000 or $0.32 per basic share and $0.29 per diluted share in the first six months of 2012. Kevin J. Zugibe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies commented, "As we previously announced, our second quarter performance fell short of our expectations. The EPA's final rule, issued April 3, permitted higher than expected virgin R-22 allowances for 2013 and 2014, heightening what is clearly an oversupply in the market. In addition, the demand for R-22 in the quarter was negatively impacted by very cool spring temperatures. As a result, we saw prices of R-22 soften by approximately 30% in the second quarter. We have seen a further reduction by approximately 10% during July, primarily related to the oversupply situation resulting from the EPA's April rule. "We are very disappointed in the EPA's recent ruling from both an economic and environmental standpoint. Under the Montreal Protocol, virgin R-22 production must be reduced to zero by 2020 with reclaimed gas filling the anticipated supply gap. In furtherance of that requirement, the EPA is currently drafting rules to establish R-22 production allowances for the period 2015 through 2019. We are expanding our efforts to educate the EPA about the adverse environmental and market impact that will result from continued production of R-22, and to demonstrate the need to aggressively reduce production of R-22 for the 2015 to 2019 period. We believe the EPA should have greater urgency with regard to limiting virgin supply levels of R-22, to both lower the global warming potential of additional virgin R-22 and support an orderly and efficient market for the industry and consumers."

In the wake of the massive impact of BBC Sherlock, there's been a growing body of work on the subject of Sherlock Holmes as the first fandom. The fact that the Holmes fans of yore called it 'scholarship' can't really hide anymore the all-too recognisable hallmarks of media fandom as we know it today: fanfic? Yup, they pretty much invented that, with sundry 'unrecorded cases' discovered amongst Watson's papers; Cosplay? Yup, they invented that too, with late middle aged ladies and gentlemen throwing off the mantle of their respectability to gallivant to the Reichenbach Falls in full Victorian costume; biting the hand that feeds? Oh yes, Conan Doyle may have been the de facto writer/producer/director but if you think Holmes scholars let him get away with anything, think again; the concept of canon? Are you kidding? Who knew their initial 'joke' of a Bible studies-style 'canon' would evolve (or de-evolve) into the monster it has become; and even 'Headcanon' is a Holmes-fan invention – disagree people might but nothing could personally convince William Baring-Gould that Holmes didn't marry Irene Adler and subsequently spend several happy years with her touring America as an in-demand stage actor-and-contralto singer tag team.
What were the rules of this fandom at its early beginnings? Dorothy L Sayers essayed this question of 'the great game': it "must be played as solemnly as a county cricket match at Lord's. The slightest touch of extravagance or burlesque ruins the atmosphere."
But did it though? There's no question that Sayers' opinion held considerable sway, and for some decades 'the great game' indeed rather stuck to her 'rules', to sometimes hideously dull effect. The Americans of the BSI seemed to feel somewhat differently, with not infrequent rebelliousness in bizarre theories such as 'Watson was a woman' or 'Mycroft was an artificial intelligence'. Even the British contingent occasionally broke ranks to suggest Mrs Hudson was really Holmes' mother/sister/secret wife, or even (gasp!) that some of the stories might even have been made up by Watson!
I read back collections of early Sherlockian 'criticism' and see links with the Who fandom that's been my own bedrock. Ronald E Knox, whilst studying to become a priest, made waves with his essay 'Studies in the Literature of Sherlock Holmes'. In it, his ideas about the 'Watson saga' were voiced through such obviously made-up literary critics as 'Mr Papier-Mache' and 'Professor Backe-Necke', and discussed such Germanic theories as 'der Watson-khronologie-problem'. Extravagant and burlesque? Absolutely! But such obvious and absurd campery is part and parcel of Who fandom, where one's favourite fan writers can be sorted out between the droll ('Regeneration or Rejuvenation?', endless Dalek chronologies) or the daft (the Gareth Roberts-scripted 'Matrix Data Bank' columns, in which readers' queries were answered by the Krotons, or the DVD reviews of Gary Gillat, ever sensitive to the camp potential of stories made for tuppence in a BBC studio). It's telling that even Pixley, the master historian of Dr Who fandom, has utilised a Knox-like fiction in which to discuss his subject matter, such as the 'awards ceremony' in DWM to dish out story titles for the 1960s Hartnells!
Really it all comes down to the FUN of the thing. If you know fine well that the thing you're writing about, and the thing you're watching/reading which you want to write about, is a wildly made-up slice of complete hokum ("trained cormorants"?? "megabyte modems"??), then detail and diligence and respect for the subject matter is all well and good, but it has to communicate WHY you or anyone else should be even bothering with it in the first place. Nobody, not even fans, really care about chronology or canon whilst you're in the middle of the story. Old Sherlock fandom and contemporary Who fandom are the best examples I can think of where the perfect balance has been found. The worst example of an imbalance has to be hardcore Trek fans' response (on the comments board of the programme's own official website!) to what look like the new Klingons' design from Star Trek: Discovery (all "shit" this, "fucked up" that and all "you have RUINED the show!!" in between).
As Holmes himself said, "there is nothing new under the sun." I look forward to seeing Trek fans discovering Ronald E Knox and chilling the fuck out.

- Authors:
- Abstract:
- Past experiences in the construction of high-speed railway projects demontrate either positive or negative financial outcomes of the actual project's budget. Usually some uncertainty value is included into initial budget calculations. Uncertainty is related to the increase of material prices, difficulties during construction, financial difficulties of the company or mistakes in project initial budget estimation, etc. Such factors may influence the actual budget values and cause budget overruns. According to the research conducted by Prof. B. Flyvbjerg, related to investigation of budget in large transport infrastructure projects, 9 projects out of 10 came out with budget overruns. As an example of cost overruns is the High Speed 1 in UK, the railway line between London and the British end of the Channel Tunnel. The project was delayed for 11 months and final construction costs were escalated to 80%, later on it was investigated that initial calculations and passenger forecasts were overestimated deliberately in order to get financial support from the government and perform this project. Apart from bad experiences there are also many projects with positive financial outcomes, e.g. French, Dutch, Italian projects have productive experiences in constructing and operating high-speed railway lines. The case study for this research is the first Danish high-speed railway line "The New Line Copenhagen-Ringsted". The project's aim is to avoid cost overruns and even make lower the final budget outcomes by learning from the best practices in construction and implementation of other high-speed lines in Europe in order to become best-in-class project in 2018. The methodology of this research is based on international benchmarking of construction costs and all information related to the construction (i.e. construction companies and construction materials). Benchmarking was conducted on the three levels. Firstly, the comparison of the average costs per kilometer among selected projects was performed, secondly, the budget models of these projects were distributed by main cost disciplines and finally, unit costs per main cost drivers were compared and analyzed. There were observed nine railway projects, comparable to the Copenhagen-Ringsted project. The results of this comparison provided a certain overview on the cost range in different budget disciplines. The Copenhagen-Ringsted project is positioned right in the middle between cheaper and more expensive projects in the comparison of total costs per kilometre, although its values in the discipline comparisons are not significantly differ from the values of the cheaper projects. The deeper analysis of project unit costs is still on-going, but the preliminary results show that the cost values of the projects located in the same geographical zone are slightly the same, e.g. this is explained by the use of the same construction companies presented in the market. However there are still many uncertainties included into received information from the other projects to perform the trustful analysis.

It is awfully cold today and I really can not stand being wrapped up in layers of clothes, I always feel restricted, even when only wearing a jersey extra. Inside is okay, but hanging the laundry !! Feels like the wind cuts right through my skin. Yes, I have a dryer {of course} but I prefer hanging the laundry out in the open air.
I made this Curry dish a few weeks ago {another Pinterest pin I forgot to post about}, and there was some leftovers which I froze in a ziplock bag - sooo, I only need to re-heat the Curry and cook some Basmati rice. Very quick, when making rice in an actual Rice Cooker - do you use a Rice Cooker because I'll be totally lost without mine (and I think after eating burnt rice for years, Roy is really glad I bought the Cooker a couple of years ago)
This dish got 5 stars from both of us!
Cooking peacefully side by side - Rice Cooker & Slow Cooker
Coconut Curry Beef & Vegs
Original Recipe pinned from And Love It Too (slightly adapted by me)
1 kg Sweet Potatoes, peeled & cubed into smaller pieces
1.2 kg Beef cubes (I used Rump Beef)
1/3 cup Curry Powder (I only use medium spiced)
4 TB Cornstarch
1 TB Salt
1/2 t Cayenne Pepper
1 Large Green Bell Pepper, ribs removed and cut into strips
2 Large Red Bell Peppers, ribs removed and cut into strips
1 Large Onion, diced
5 Large Carrots, peeled and cut into rings
2 Cans Whole Fat Coconut Milk
Parsley to garnish
Sliced Bananas /Shredded Coconut /Chutney to serve
1.) Use a large slow-cooker - I used my 6 liter capacity - Place the Sweet Potato and Beef cubes at the bottom of the cooker.
2.) Mix the Curry powder, Cornstarch, Salt and Cayenne Pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the Sweet Potato & Beef cubes, mix with a large spoon to coat all evenly.
3.) Place the Green- and Red Peppers, Onion and Carrots in a large bowl and just mix it all up.
4.) Add the Vegetables on top of the Meat in the cooker - DO NOT stir, just layer evenly.
5.) Pour both cans of Coconut Milk over the vegetables and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.
Serve with Basmati rice, garnish with Parsley. (Sliced Bananas, Shredded Coconut, Chutney are good to serve with a curry)
Sorry, bad photo, but it still looks delicious, yes ..??
After this (especially because I know it is so gooood), I am starving (and cold)... so ... I'm off to the kitchen for some re-heating and cooking rice.

Chuck fans 'Have a heart,' take Save Chuck campaign to another level
- May
- 6
On the spectrum of causes, the fight to cure and prevent pandemic disease is about as far as you can get from the fight to convince a network to renew your favorite TV show.
But what if the more trivial of the two could somehow benefit the more serious cause?
That's what some fans of bubble show Chuck are hoping. If you thought the Finale and a Footlong campaign was clever, the Have a Heart — Save Chuck effort under way takes it to another level.
You can get all the details here, but the upshot is that the American Heart Association is the main charity of Chuck sponsor Subway Restaurants.
In short, fans who want to send a message to NBC are encouraged to go to the AHA donation site and make a contribution in the name of main character Chuck Bartowski. Donors can then insert addresses for top NBC execs, who'll receive direct acknowledgment of the gift. The idea is that if boosting a sponsor's bottom line can show the network the depths of fan support for a show, then boosting the sponsor's favorite charity will send an additional message about how serious — and creative — those fans are.
Some might question whether there's any substitute for eyeballs on TV screens when it comes to nudging network decision-makers one way or the other. I'm inclined to agree. That said, it's easier to cancel a show when you figure few people will notice or care. This kind of effort shows the suits at the Peacock, and a major sponsor, that they care deeply.
And instead of mailing nuts or Nerds or whatever, fans are doing it in a way that acknowledges the bottom-line nature of the issue and that also helps a great cause. Both efforts should prompt some goodwill from the Subway folks in their dealings with NBC, which can only help the Chuck cause.
And if it doesn't work, it's still a losing cause you can be proud to be a part of.
Meanwhile, piecing together some of the choicer tid-bits that came out of Monday's In-fronts coverage, it sounds like Chuck is a bargaining chip between NBC and the WB.
Nikki Finke claims Chuck's return is tied to negotiations surrounding another WB project NBC isn't so fond of.
As for Chuck, this gets complicated. Turns out NBC didn't like David E Kelley's Warner Bros pilot Legally Mad. Problem is, there's a $2 million penalty that gets paid to WB if the network doesn't pick up the show. So NBC is hoping to work a deal tying the renewal of Chuck, which is also a WB show, to a pass on paying that Legally Mad penalty.
Both TVGuide.com and Michael Ausiello reported that a Chuck renewal would likely entail a move from Mondays. That's because entertainment chief Ben Silverman said Heroes would likely be paired with another show. And since Jay Leno leaves only two hours of NBC prime time a night, that leaves no room for Chuck.

That also makes sense since Chuck got slaughtered on Mondays, especially after Fox replaced Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles with the ratings powerhouse House.
I'd prefer to see a Chuck–Office-30 Rock lineup on Thursdays, but Parks and Recreation complicates that. Friday is still a dumping ground for shows networks have given up on, so I'll be happy with a Tuesday or Wednesday time slot.
Now it's time to go make a donation.

Revisiting the white blood cell count: immature granulocytes count as a diagnostic marker to discriminate between SIRS and sepsis - a prospective, observational study
Immunity to infection
Sepsis is a serious disease condition and a major cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Its diagnosis in critically ill patients is complicated. To diagnose an infection rapidly, and to accurately differentiate systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) from sepsis, is challenging yet early diagnosis is vital for early induction of an appropriate therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the immature granulocyte (IG) count is a useful early diagnostic marker of sepsis compared to other markers. Therefore, a total of 70 consecutive surgical intensive care patients were assessed. IGs were measured from whole blood samples using an automated analyzer. C-reactive protein (CRP), lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations were also determined. The observation period was a maximum of 21 days and ended with the patients' discharge from ICU or death. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were conducted and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to determine sensitivities and specificities for the parameters.
We found that the IG count significantly discriminates between infected and non-infected patients (
The total number of IG in peripheral blood from ICU patients is a good marker to discriminate infected and non-infected patients very early during SIRS. However, the IG count is not suitable as a prognostic marker for mortality. Routine and serial measurement of IGs may provide new possibilities for rapid screening of SIRS patients on ICU with suspected infections.
In 1992, the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) and the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) established criteria to define and distinguish systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis. According to the ACCP/SCCM consensus conference both SIRS and sepsis are characterized by the occurrence of at least two of the following conditions: (1) body temperature >38°C or <36°C; (2) heart rate >90 beats per minute; (3) respiratory rate >20 breaths per minute or PaCO2 <32 mm Hg; (4) white blood cell count >12,000/cu mm, <4000/cu mm, or >10% immature (band) forms. In addition to these criteria, the term sepsis is defined as an inflammatory systemic response arising from an infection
Despite an increased understanding of the pathophysiology of sepsis and advances in intensive care (ICU) treatment, sepsis still results in considerable morbidity and mortality
Markers such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) have been proposed for diagnosing or monitoring sepsis
The presence of immature granulocytes (IG) in the peripheral blood provides important information indicating enhanced bone marrow activity. Evaluation of the IG count is therefore a promising option in sepsis
The present study was conducted to determine the utility of IG# to distinguish between patients with SIRS and those with sepsis.
Patients' characteristics
Seventy consecutive patients fulfilling at least two SIRS criteria
Superior discriminative power for infection of IG#
ROC analyses were performed to compare the diagnostic performance of four clinical parameters of their predictive potential for sepsis: IG#, CRP, LBP and IL-6. IG# showed a significant distinction between infected and non-infected patients. Thus, a

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curves (AUC) were computed to compare the ability of different clinical parameters to predict infection. ROC curves are plotted and corresponding AUC values are given in the table. P < 0.05 was considered a significant difference and is indicated with *. IG#, immature granulocyte count; CRP, C-reactive protein; LBP, lipopolysaccharide binding protein; IL-6, interleukin-6.
Further statistical analysis for independent samples demonstrated the superior discriminative power of IG# over the other parameters (Table
In order to determine the dynamic response to sepsis, the parameters were further analyzed over the course of 21 days after the initial SIRS alert. Five periods were considered; period 1 (days 1–2), period 5 (days 3–5), period 10 (days 6–9), period 15 (days 10–14), and period 20 (days 15–21). The mean value for each period was calculated for each parameter. Since data did not follow a normal distribution, the Mann Whitney
The five clinical parameters, IG#, CRP, LBP, IL-6 and SOFA score were analyzed for their discriminative power to diagnose infection (Figure
Figure 2
Prediction of infection
Prediction of infection. Predictive value of clinical parameters for infection was computed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC). Parameter differences between non-infected vs. infected patients were assessed using Mann–Whitney
Additionally, the highest diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was calculated for IG# in period 1 with 26.7 (Table
Prognostic power for mortality of IG# in late stages
We also assessed the prognostic sensitivity and specificity of each characteristic with respect to ICU mortality. AUC values of each individual parameter are presented in (Figure
Figure 3
Prediction of ICU mortality
Prediction of ICU mortality. The predictive value of clinical parameters for ICU mortality was computed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC). Parameter differences between survivors and non survivors were assessed using Mann–Whitney
We have demonstrated that the IG count discriminates between SIRS patients with and without infection. We observed a significant difference within the first five days after the initial SIRS alert, and particularly within the first 48 hours (
We also compared the performance of the IG count with CRP, LBP and IL-6, which are parameters commonly evaluated in patients with suspected infection or sepsis. Although all parameters except CRP were significantly increased in infected patients, the highest discriminative power for infection in the first 48 hours was shown by the total number of immature granulocytes (
In later periods the absolute numbers of IGs showed the highest significance for positive prediction of infection during period 5 (days 3–5). While LBP and IL-6 levels were not meaningful, the CRP level was significantly elevated. Synthesis of the acute phase protein CRP is activated by the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6
In addition, for the first 48 hours a high diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) for infection of 26.7 could be calculated for the IG count
Secondly, we examined the ability of IG count, CRP, LBP, IL-6 and the SOFA score to predict ICU mortality. As expected, the SOFA score, which is well-known and widely used as a predictor of mortality in patients with severe sepsis
Recently, many potential biomarkers to identify sepsis and predict disease outcome have been examined. In particular, acute phase proteins such as procalcitonin (PCT) have been investigated. PCT is now used as a supportive clinical parameter to clarify diagnosis, but due to its high negative predictive value (99%) it is more frequently used to rule out sepsis
While our findings suggest that the IG count is not suitable as a prognostic marker for mortality it is a good and useful early marker for distinguishing infected and non-infected patients. Our study population included a wide range of patients with diverse causes for ICU admission and various disease stages. The distinct correlation of the IG count with the presence of infection shows that the former parameter is representative in general and not only valid for a special patient subgroup. The IG parameter on the XE-2100 has been previously validated
In summary, we have shown that, within the first 48 hours after the first SIRS alert, an elevated number of immature granulocytes indicates infection. Measuring the IG count with a fully automated hematology analyzer provides new possibilities for rapid and early screening of SIRS patients on the ICU with suspected infections.
Our findings demonstrate that sepsis is associated with an increased immature granulocyte count. The IG count can differentiate between patients with an infection and those who are not infected, particularly within the first critical hours after an initial SIRS alert. Using ROC analysis we found the IG count a superior biomarker for sepsis compared to C-reactive protein, lipopolysaccharide binding protein and interleukin-6.
Study design
Following approval by the local Ethical Committee who had waived the need for informed consent a total of 70 consecutive patients were included. The study population consisted of patients aged between 18 and 90 years, who were admitted to the surgical ICUs of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and who developed signs of SIRS within 48 hours of admission. Exclusion criteria were: malignancy, immunosuppressive or immunostimulatory therapy, and recent organ transplantation. The observation period was a maximum of 21 days and ended with the patients' discharge from ICU or death.
For statistical analysis the patients were classified as those with or without infection according to the ACCP/SCCM Consensus Conference criteria. Group 1 included patients without an infection; Group 2 included those with an infection. Infection was diagnosed either by blood culture or microbiological tests from catheters, sputum specimens, intraoperative smears, etc.
Four parameters, IG#, CRP, LBP and IL-6, were analyzed especially within the first 48 hours because of their predictive potential for sepsis.
Determination of immature granulocyte counts
White blood cell count, percentage of immature granulocytes (IG%), and absolute immature granulocyte count (IG#) were determined in blood samples using an automated hematology analyzer (XE 2100, Sysmex, Kobe, Japan). The method is described in detail elsewhere
Determination of other parameters
CRP was measured with a routine turbidimetric assay (Roche Diagnostics on Hitachi Modular). Determination of LBP was performed by immunoassay (DPC Biermann GmbH, Bad Nauheim, Germany) and IL-6 concentrations were measured in serum using an immuno-luminometric assay (CLIA) (DPC Biermann GmbH, Bad Nauheim, Germany).
Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II)
Statistical methods
Data were analyzed using MedCalc for Windows, version 188.8.131.52 (MedCalc Software, Mariakerke, Belgium). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to verify the normality of distribution of continuous variables, with

With the great success of the new online mattress companies (especially Casper with all the press that they've gotten), I think we're seeing the advent of a new era in the mattress industry. It's already started to happen, and I think it's only going to continue. There will be more and more new mattress companies at a faster pace than ever in the industry. Casper proved that a new company can come in and have immediate success. There are other success stories as well. Saatva has been around a long time, and they have slowly built their business, rather than raise money and try to become successful immediately. Leesa came into the market somewhat recently too, and they appear to have had lots of success as well. It all makes a lot of sense, as buying online is probably the best way to get a good deal on a mattres (as I've written about here).
How will everything play out? Well, I think there's a few different ways new companies will try to enter the market and differentiate themselves. The free trial period and return policy is already extremely favorable for these new companies, so I don't think there's really any room for differentiation there. I think there will be more Casper clones that will attack the price point around $700-1,000. That seems to be that sweet spot in the market right now. From there, I think companies will aim for going much below that price point and then there will be luxury mattress companies that sell online as well.
Companies will also try to differentiate themselves by the product itself. The foam that is used and the layers will be a big point of differentiation. At some point, however, consumers won't really care so much about that. There isn't a whole lot that differentiates the different hybrid foams, for example. I do think there will be a company that will sell a truly organic mattress online. No one's really successfully made that play just yet, but it's a trend that is undeniable at this point. People want organic products, and I think the mattress market is where consumers want to look next.
The online mattress business model is very disruptive and is taking the world by storm. That is only going to continue. Established companies will come out with new brands that attack different types of mattress and price points. New companies will come in very quickly. It doesn't take that much time or funding to really get a new mattress company going, so the barriers to entry are quite low. It will be interesting to see how things play out.

Built in 1913, the Inn was originally a male boarding house for the single male employees of the local aluminum smelting plant. In 1924, an individual could rent an inside room with a bath (an extra for the era) for the amazing rate of $39.00 per month. A few years later, it was the place for social events in the area and even hosted guests to the likes of Mae West & W.C. Fields who would entertain townsfolk at the local Opera House.
Remodeled in 2005, the Inn has all the amenities of a modern hotel. The rooms & suites feature Wi-Fi, cable TV, mini fridges, microwaves, coffee makers, and ironing boards. Each room is furnished with quaint antiques and has a unique individual feel.
For longer stays, ask about our 1 bedroom condos. These modern units each have a queen bed in a private bedroom, a full bath, living area with pull out sleeper sofa, and a full kitchen with all plates, pots, pans, etc...

There is a way higher chance for a client to gain confidence in you, listen to your advice and buy from you if they remark your professionalism. Sometimes, the way you treat people is the factor that rises respect. You do not necessarily need an inherent technique to make the difference. From this point of view, sales and service domains are tightly connected, especially if you run a specific service. Provide flawless services and the sales process will automatically become easier.

The Basics Of A Successful Negotiation
There are no doubts that a good preparation is crucial during a negotiation, so never even think about negotiating without doing your homework. If you do, the result obviously does not matter for you, so there is clearly no point in even showing up. While self confidence plays a very important role in the process, it is clearly not sufficient. Not preparing yourself upfront can endanger you. In other words, you might overlook your initial goal. Those who think that they are good negotiators also have the tendency to avoid researching their solutions upfront. They often wake up surprised in the middle of the discussion, but in a completely different position, which is far from what they have expected. Continue reading
Winston Churchill Quote
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."
Winston Churchill is mostly known for being one of the most prolific British politicians. He was the prime minister of the United Kingdom during one of the greatest wartimes in the history. He was also a writer, historian and artist. Believe it or not, he is the one and only British prime minister to have earned a Nobel Prize for literature. At the same time, he was the first individual to become a honorary citizen in the United States of America. His resting place – St. Martin's Church, Bladon – is visited by numerous enthusiasts and history fans on a regular basis.
Ayrton Senna Quote
"Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose."
Ayrton Senna was one of the most dominant and influential drivers of Formula 1. For a lot of fans, his story has gone way beyond the track. In 1992, he impressed everyone when he stopped the car next to an opponent driver who got involved in a car accident. There were no other drivers to stop and leave their cars in order to help the victim. He has also caused a lot of controversies during his career, but he was always appreciated for his dedication. He passed away in a track accident in 1994. It is by far the saddest moment in the history of Formula 1.
Soichiro Honda Quote
"Success represents the 1% of you work which results from the 99% that is called failure."
Born on November, 17-th, 1906, Soichiro Honda was one of Japan's most reputable industrialists and engineers. He established Honda in 1948 as a small wooden bicycle manufacturing centre. Overtime, the company has become one of the most innovative motorcycle and vehicle manufacturers in the world. It has stirred the respective industry with dozens of innovations. The successful entrepreneur has passed away on August, 5-th, 1991. He left behind a company that dominates a lot of segments. Moreover, it is worth noting that up to 75% of all Honda vehicles are still on the roads, which is yet another proof of the high quality standards.

EvLinking Weekly 2016.12.20 – 2016.12.26
As the year comes to a close, I would like to thank you for your continuous support of Everything Linking. Everything Linking IoT Podcast launched earlier this year and published 12 episode packed with introduction on the latest products and services in the IoT ecosystem, insights on the latest trend, talks on the latest opportunities and obstacles, and ways to get ahold of these amazing interviewees. To date, each Evlinkng episode gets over 500 downloads in the first week, and continue to acquire listeners in the following two months. 50% of our listeners are in the US, 25% in Europe and the rest spread evenly around the world.
I joined a&s SMAhome in September, working as the editor of mysmahome.com. We have a lot planned for 2017, if you're interested, feel free to drop me an email.
The EvLinking podcast was postponed since I joined SMAhome, as I scrambled to get on top of everything in the new role (and we had a new baby boy in Oct!!). But we're coming back as strong as ever, during the past two weeks, I recorded interviews with Alex from the Goodnight Lamp, the no. 1 woman in a list of 100 Internet of Things Influencers by Postscapes; Alan Grau, President and Co-founder of Icon Labs, leading company on IoT and embedded device security; Alex Capecelatro, CEO and Co-founder of Josh.ai; Newsha Ghaeli, Project Lead at the Senseable City Laboratory from MIT, and many more. Subscribe to our podcast and listen to previous episodes if you haven't, or shoot me an email if you want to be featured on our show!
Another important announcement is that we're launching consulting services for IoT sourcing in Asia! Through my years of working at ThroughTek, an IoT P2P platform and my newly acquired gig at a&s SMAhome, I had the opportunity to know hundreds of IoT businesses in Asia. They range from software studios, freelancers, key component manufacturers, module providers, turnkey solutions, system integrators, and many more. I also get asked a lot by counterparties in the US and Europe region asking for recommendations on who make certain modules, or who has experience on doing certain tasks. This led to the creation of EvLinking's sourcing service. If you're interested in learning more about this, click here and fill out the form.
And last but not least, a late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Morphological Evolution of Physical Robots through Model-Free Phenotype Development
Artificial evolution of physical systems is a stochastic optimization method in which physical machines are iteratively adapted to a target function. The key for a meaningful design optimization is the capability to build variations of physical machines through the course of the evolutionary process. The optimization in turn no longer relies on complex physics models that are prone to the reality gap, a mismatch between simulated and real-world behavior. We report model-free development and evaluation of phenotypes in the artificial evolution of physical systems, in which a mother robot autonomously designs and assembles locomotion agents. The locomotion agents are automatically placed in the testing environment and their locomotion behavior is analyzed in the real world. This feedback is used for the design of the next iteration. Through experiments with a total of 500 autonomously built locomotion agents, this article shows diversification of morphology and behavior of physical robots for the improvement of functionality with limited resources.

CROSSING OVER by Yanina Shevchenko
CROSSING OVER by Yanina Shevchenko
Published by The Velvet Cell
165 x 240 mm, 24 pages, full colour offset printing throughout, saddle stitched, edition of 300, 2013.
'In March 2012 Yanina Shevchenko travelled from one end of Russia to the other and back again on the trans-siberian railway in a bid to discover for herself the true nature of her homeland. In the space of two weeks she spent a total of twelve days onboard, mingling with her fellow travellers and watching the Russian landscape unfold itself from her carriage window.
Born in Volgograd of Russian-Belorussian descent, Yanina was motivated to unearth what 'Russianess' meant and whether it existed as a single entity from one end of the motherland to the other. What she encountered and discovered about Russia, and thus about herself, is documented in her book of writings and photography 'Crossing Over'.
Yanina Shevchenko is a Russian-born photographer. She has worked in New York, Moscow and Buenos Aires and recently graduated from Goldsmiths University of London, MA in Photography and Urban Cultures. Her interests in photography are human identity, personal stories, urban and rural landscape.'

In a world of packaged food and long-term storage, a strategy for keeping your goods in premium shape is crucial. Learn what effect plastics, temperature and cooking has on your foodstuffs and make the changes you need to protect yourself
When Good Food Goes Bad
By MH Staff - Posted on 15th March 2012
In a world of packaged food and long-term storage, a strategy for keeping your goods in premium shape is crucial. Learn what effect plastics, temperature and cooking has on your foodstuffs and make the changes you need to protect yourself
1 Defrosting
Except for your frozen peas and carrots, all frozen food should be thawed before cooking. (Unless, of course, you want the outside of your chicken to be burnt while the inside is still an ice block.) There are three safe ways to defrost food: in the fridge, in the microwave and in airtight packaging submerged in cold water. Think twice before chucking frozen chicken into hot water to defrost it: as soon as food warms up over five degrees Celsius, any bacteria that may have been present before freezing start to multiply rapidly. Thawing times It is important to plan ahead because food takes longer to thaw in the refrigerator. The refreezing rule In a word: don't. If your dinner plans change, refreezing thawed foods is generally not advised, especially when it comes to meat and seafood. Refrozen food not only loses its flavour, it may also become slightly spoiled when thawed.
2 Cooking
The time has come to cook that steak that you've carefully selected, frozen and defrosted. Here's how to make sure you cook it so as to preserve its flavour – while keeping your food safe and bug-free. Keep it clean Keep everything clean; always wash your hands thoroughly in hot soapy water before preparing foods and after handling raw meat, poultry or seafood.
Pick your method with care Different cooking methods can enhance, retain or reduce the nutritional value of our food. Know which preparation methods to avoid and aim for.
Avoid peeling and chopping Peeling, grinding and chopping vegetables and then leaving them exposed to the air or soaking in water is like sounding a death knell for vitamins. The greatest loss is that of vitamin C – we lose 25 to 50 percent of the vitamin C present when we mash and purée vegetables. And the nutrients that survive this process are often further reduced by over-boiling or throwing away the cooking water. And if you add baking soda to keep your veggies green, vitamins B1, B2 and B5 make an even speedier exit.
Avoid frying Not only does frying food increase its fat content (the food invariably absorbs the butter or oil used to coat the pan), but it also destroys essential vitamins (A, B, C and E) and antioxidants like beta-carotene. It is true that the right amount of cooking makes protein easier to digest, but overcooking does just the opposite. And heating the oil or butter until it smokes or burns produces free radicals and other toxic products that can be harmful to your health, warns the Heart and Stroke Foundation of South Africa.
Avoid grilling (most times) Grilling foods that contain fat is less damaging than frying, as long as you take care not to burn it. Ensure that what you eat is not charred.
Avoid boiling The only good thing about boiling is that it isn't frying. Water is the enemy of nutrients that dissolve easily, leaching them out of food to the point that the water may be more nutritional than the cooked food itself.
Selectively use the microwave If used properly, the microwave is a very handy cooking tool. The general principle here is: cook on low power for short periods to retain more nutrients. When steaming vegetables, take care not to use too much water. And choose the microwave over the stove top when reheating foods: research shows that this method retains more vitamins B1, B2, B6, C and folate than conventional reheating.
Aim for stir-frying Stir-frying uses very little oil and cooks food very quickly at a very high heat. Because it is one of the fastest ways to cook, vitamin-rich veggies such as broccoli and carrots retain more nutrients, as well as their texture and colour.
Aim for steaming Steaming not only makes foods taste better, but also brings an indirect health benefit: when we taste what foods are really like, we may not be as tempted to use rich sauces or unhealthy condiments to spice them up. Use a lid to avoid steaming away precious vitamins.
3 Granny Cool
Apples stored at room temperature deteriorate 10 times faster than when they're refrigerated separately for optimum quality and to prevent rotting. The crisping drawers at the bottom of the fridge are ideal for this. The temperature here tends to be a bit higher, too, which is good since fruit and veggies can be damaged by too-low temperatures.
4 Fill Up The Freezer
Storing food in the deep cold of a freezer slows down the enzyme activity that causes processes like ripening. If left to their own devices, these enzymes can cause changes to the colour and flavour of food as well as significant loss of nutritional value.
5 Fats And Oils
Are you picking up the faint rancid smell of olive oil that's been subjected to a life on the windowsill, turning those heart-healthy fats foul in half the time? Store yours in a cool, dark place, ideally in an opaque glass container.
6 Bananas
While most fruit do well with refrigeration, bananas tend to blacken in the cold. They also tend to make other fruit ripen too quickly, so they are best stored separately, and at room temperature.
7 Potatoes And Onions
While some raw vegetables like courgettes do better in the fridge, other more dense raw vegetables such as potatoes and onions are best stored at a cool room temperature as the chill can turn their starches to sugar, says Duffield. Refrigerated potatoes tend to become mealy in texture and, when cooked, lose vitamin C and take on a purple-black appearance that is distinctly unappealing.
Use a brown hessian sack or perforated plastic bag to store your potatoes – this will help prevent them from sprouting roots and, with it, forming solanine, which is poisonous in large quantities. And be sure to store them separately from onions, as the bulbs tend to release gasses that can accelerate decay in potatoes.
8 Pack The Pantry
Your pantry should be cool and well ventilated. Use it to store the following foodstuff: Bread. Don't store fresh bread in the fridge – it'll dry out and go stale faster. Bread should stay fresh for up to four days at room temperature, depending on the humidity, if it is sealed in its original wrapping. If you want to store bread for longer, stick it in the freezer – it will last for up to three months.
9 What About Plastic?
See-through wrap and plastic bags mean you won't be guessing what's inside. But is it safe to store your food in it?It depends on what the plastic is made of. "Plasticisers" are synthetic substances that are added to certain plastics to make them more flexible and resistant to extreme temperatures. Some plasticisers are relatively harmless, but at least one of them – Bis(2-ethylexyl)adipate, or DEHA, which is used to adapt plastic wrapping to extreme cold – is a suspected carcinogen.
Remove food from plastic wrappings, freezer cartons or styrofoam trays when defrosting or microwaving food, especially if the container is not marked "suitable for heating in a microwave". Not all plastic containers (even hard ones) are heat-stable and they could leak hazardous substances.
Foods that are highly acidic, such as pickles, or that contain alcohol or fats, such as wine, cheese, butter or oil, should be stored in harder plastic because the plasticisers in pliable plastics can leach more easily into these foods. For acidic foods, glass is the safest.
Whenever possible, opt for food that has been packed in glass, aluminium foil or materials such as polyethylene, a plastic used for food freezer bags that does not contain plasticisers such as DEHA. But do be careful with that aluminium foil: juices from acidic foods, such as tomatoes or onions, can eat through the metal and damage the food.
The crinkling nature of foil can cause tiny holes, increasing the permeability of your edibles.
10 Break The Mould
Raw fruit tends to grow mould quickly after ripening, and mould can cause allergic reactions or produce poisonous substances, called mycotoxins, making you sick. Cut at least half a centimetre around and below a mouldy spot on a piece of fruit, keeping the knife out of the mould itself so it will not cross-contaminate other parts of the food. For best quality, store ripe fruit in the fridge.
