Shakugan no Shana III - Episode 9 Discussion / Poll
Welcome to the discussion thread for Shakugan no Shana III, Episode 9.
Thread Guidelines
Talk about fast subs, Im going to watch it now.
Now that I watched it with subs...this is the second episode of this season after ep 4 that I give a 10.
The action was great, the atmosphere was great, the music was as always also great!
The scene with Shana trying to move after being knocked down and then calling her sword was so well done I had chills watching it, that doesnt happen often (well on other series it doesnt). Watching Tenmoku Ikko reanimate itself from Nietono no Shana was also just amazing, this really is one of my fav episodes of the whole series so far! Next week cannot come soon enough!!
The episode is available officially in niconico, for those in the US and Canada.
Phew, I thought those two female Rinne were going to a monster mouth or something like that because they were covering it, like that character from Mortal Combat, but it turns out that their mouths were normal too.
Vote for best characters this seasons.
Shana going Higurashi and a Lion and then the next episode having a Horse.
Fun, these are.
That was a great episode- 10/10!
some combat modes go Rebecca! go Khamsin!......
Shana desperately killing the dinzen that gave me chills..
Shana in never-thought-I-would-hear-her-scream-like-that. :twitch: (that gave me reason of hating Yuji for what he had done to Shana.. :mad: )
Tenmuko Ikko-san!!
and oh yeah okaerinasai~ Empatsu Shakugan no Uchite, Shana!! :hyper-^v^:
And... first 10 in the season!
Loved when Tenmoku-iko gave Nietano back! Seeing Wilhelmina, Rebecca and Khamsin acting like that was awesome too. Shana screaming like that gave me the creeps, but she must have edured those Rinne a lot!
Anyway, I can't wait for the next episode...
Yes, more of these episodes please, J. C. Staff. Stay faithful to the novels and keep them coming. :D
Shana yawning in the second eyecatch is definitely priceless. :)
Instead of flesh and bone, the Rinne escorting Shana is made of stone? :twitch:
Khamsin manifesting himself as a stone golem-like creature just reminds me of Megazord from Power Rangers. While Khamsin and Rebecca have a great time blowing up Seireiden, Wilhelmina utilized a spell to make her to become invisible, which was a far more subtle approach.
So, what happened to Tenmoku Ikko after he returned to Nietono no Shana to Shana? Just disappeared and returned to be a part of the sword again? Can Shana summon him again as needed?
What is the deal with Rebecca removing Balar from her wrist? I thought that she was about to utilize her trump card or her more powerful attack. And yet, subsequent scene seems to show that she did not do anything significant. Why is it so? :confused:
Wow like how they used the path that connects the castles. Action was awesome this week as well. Best scene imo was when Shana was struggling to move and call her sword. Having Tenmoku back for a little was great. Did Fecor just get taken out? Also did Khamshin just break the mirror leaving Yuji and the trinity trapped in there? Yes Shana is back!
rocket punch and booster.... that's awesome, old man!!!
nice to see Fecor got owned by berserk samurai.... and the mirror broke!
that scene when Tenmoku Ikko give back nietono is very good.... so Shana can turn to 'enpatsu shakugan no uchite' mode without Alastor???
I was really bored watching this. And it doesn't help that I am actually rooting for the Bal Masque team which got their asses handed to them, although Fecor did well to hold out as long as he did. But obviously he has no plot armor against Deus-Ex-Ikko. Shana dismantling that Rinne really bothered me, too. I was hoping they'd skip over that but no such luck.
So how strong is Nietono-no-Shana really? lol
Anyway, glad to have delicious red haired Shana again.
What a great episode. Thumbs up with 10/10 votes, even thou i despise the way that yuuji turns bad. Still love shakugan no shana, and the white dress wore by Shana is really Moeeeee~~~~~~ Looking forward to the next episode and hopefully yuuji will turn back as he used to be.
great episode, i vote 10/10..
my fave part is... when Shana went on a berserk just to break that rinne's stonehead. there's a really strong emotion on her back just to call her nietono and then tenmoku summoned from the sword...
Fecor is dead
very very dead

text: I just read a post on another board by Mike M about keeping things simple and having 1 type of fixture that you use all the time for 1 type of effect. This is what I've always done. I probably use only 7 types of fixtures to achieve every conceivable effect. It makes sense since you'll always have replacement parts on board. You'll have consistency and continuity throughout your designs. I do not in any way believe this will limit one as a designer. There is so much unnecesary product in most manufaturers catalogue that it's rediculous. Unique used to be quite simple and they are falling into the same trap with all of these repetitive fixtures. Trying to be everything to everybody. cast seems to be staying simple and effective. My feeling is that you should master 1 type of fixture for 1 type of effect (or more) and use that fixture the same way everytime. Lamps I try to limit as well. Maybe 10 types at most. I don't want to have trouble sourcing a lamp during maintenance . I can't go back because I didn't have 1 lamp. that would be a losing proposition.

While there's no one "typical mesothelioma" or a "typical prognosis," for those in New Orleans and elsewhere in Louisiana, there are many factors that will contribute to an individual's ability to fight the disease effectively.
Age and health status are two major pieces of the prognosis puzzle. A younger patient with no other serious health concerns will, in general, do better when facing mesothelioma than much older patients, who often have other ailments to contend with.
The type and location of mesothelioma is another consideration. Epithelial mesothelioma is the most common form, and the most treatable. Mesothelioma that occurs in the lining of the lungs, called pleural mesothelioma, is generally more treatable than that which occurs in the abdomen or other parts of the body.
Finally, the stage at which the cancer is caught is extremely significant in survival rates. Diagnosis at an early stage can add months or years of life after a mesothelioma diagnosis, which is why it's so important that people who've worked in occupations where they may have been exposed to asbestos talk to their doctors about any unusual symptoms that develop.
Mesothelioma has a latency period that can last decades, and diagnosis often occurs after the cancer has spread from the initial area of growth. Once it metastasizes, it becomes much more difficult to treat effectively.
Five-year survival rates for mesothelioma have increased tremendously over the years, but today the number of five-year survivors stands around 10%. New treatments are being developed all the time, and the primary task your healthcare team will have is to keep you alive as long as possible to give you the best chance of benefiting from cutting edge treatment options. Many people who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma are eligible to participate in clinical trials of new therapies.
A mesothelioma diagnosis is the starting point in your fight against a very dangerous cancer. At The Gertler Law Firm, we connect mesothelioma victims in New Orleans and Louisiana with the resources they need to protect themselves and their families as they fight for their lives.

Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom and Allen & Overy have taken the lead roles on a $1bn energy deal in Africa.
Skadden represented Vitol Group and new client Helios Investment Partners in their acquisition of the majority of Shell's shareholding in most of its African downstream businesses.
Skadden partner Doug Nordlinger led the firm's team, which also included partners Shaun Lascelles, Tim Sanders, Chris Baker, Mark Darley, Clive Wells and counsel Scott Brown.
De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek also acted as counsel to Vitol and Helios, with London-based partner Ernest Meyer Swantée leading.
Allen & Overy corporate partner Dominic Morris led the Magic Circle firm's team for Shell assisted by corporate partner Gillian Holgate and senior associate David Duncan. Banking partner Philip Bowden advised on financing.
The deal, which will see two new joint ventures formed to assure the continued availability of Shell fuels and lubricants under the Shell brand, was particularly complex because of its multijurisdictional nature.
One joint venture will own and operate Shell's existing oil products, distribution and retailing businesses in 14 African countries, with the potential to add five more in future.
A separate company, 50 per cent owned by Shell and 50 per cent by Vitol and Helios, will own and operate Shell's existing lubricants blending plants in seven countries.
The deal was governed by English law but because of the Francophone nature of many of the African countries involved, Skadden ran much of the due diligence out of its Paris office.

To validate a two-regression model for predicting energy expenditure (EE) from ActiGraph GT1M accelerometer generated activity counts using a whole-room indirect calorimeter and the doubly-labeled water (DLW) technique. We also investigated if a low-pass filter (LPF) approach would improve the model's accuracy in the minute-to-minute EE prediction.
Thirty-four healthy volunteers (age 20-67 yrs, BMI-19.3-52.1 kg/m2) spent ~24-h in a room calorimeter while wearing a GT1M monitor and performed structured and self-selected activities followed by overnight sleep. The EE predicted by the models and expressed in metabolic equivalents (MET-min) during waking times was compared to the room calorimeter measured EE. A subset of volunteers (n=22) completed a 14-day DLW protocol in free-living while wearing an ActiGraph. The average daily EE predicted by the models (MET-min) was compared to the DLW.
Compared to the room calorimeter, the two-regression model over-predicted EE by 10.2±11.4% (1,282±125 and 1,174 ± 152 MET-min, p<0.001) and time spent in moderate physical activity (PA) by 36.9 ± 46.0 min while underestimating the time spent in light PA by - 48.3 ± 55.0 min (p<0.05). The LPF reduced the squared and mean absolute error in the EE prediction (p<0.05), but not the prediction error in time spent in moderate or light PA (both p>0.05). The EE measured by DLW (2,108±358 MET-min/day) and predicted by both filtered and unfiltered models (2,104 ± 218 and 2,192 ± 228 MET-min/day, respectively) were similar (p>0.05).
The two-regression model with LPF showed good agreement with total EE measured using room calorimeter and DLW. However, the individual variability in assessing time spent in sedentary, low, and moderate PA intensities and related EE remains significant.
Accelerometers are a common research tool used to assess physical activity (PA) in various populations. The accurate characterization of the relationship between accelerometer output, reflecting body movements over selected time intervals, and the energy expenditure (EE) related to these movements has been a challenge (12). Early efforts focused on developing a single linear relationship between EE and activity recorded in arbitrary units (counts) (6, 10, 23), which has been shown to be challenging (19). Recently, several alternative approaches such as multiple linear regressions (9), power models (3), polynomial fits (20, 28), and machine learning (16, 18, 22, 29) have been developed. These models have utilized more information about PA, such as one-second averaged or raw activity data (5, 16, 18, 22, 29) and have the potentials to generate a more accurate prediction of EE associated with PA.
One such method is the two-regression model developed for estimating EE of PA using GT1M ActiGraph accelerometer (ActiGraph, Pensacola, FL) recordings measured in one second epochs (5). The two-regression method used the coefficient of variation (CV = standard deviation / mean * 100) and the sum of six 10 sec epochs to categorize each minute of accelerometer data into resting, walking and jogging, and lifestyle activities. Separate regression equations for walking/jogging and lifestyle activities were then used to estimate minute-to-minute EE. In a study conducted using a portable indirect calorimeter (K4b2 by Cosmed, Rome, Italy) to measure the EE, this model showed significant improvement in the estimation of EE in several lifestyle and sports-related activities relative to previously published regression equations for the ActiGraph in adults. Although the model development procedure included common lifestyle, leisure-time, and sports-related activities all performed at self-selected rates, these activities were completed over relatively short time intervals (5-10 min) and, in many cases, in an unfamiliar environment while wearing a device that includes a facemask and analyzer system that weighs approximately 2 kg (5). We believed that the two-regression model could benefit from an independent validation test which includes a free-living component. Consequently, we examined its prediction ability and accuracy using a whole-room indirect calorimeter (12) and the doubly-labeled water (DLW) technique (21). We also investigated if applying a low pass filter to the predicted EE would improve the two-regression model's estimation of the minute-to-minute EE without compromising its predictive accuracy for total EE.
To rigorously validate the two-regression model, we examined its prediction ability and accuracy using a whole-room indirect calorimeter (12) and the doubly-labeled water (DLW) technique (21). The whole-room indirect calorimeter allows for accurate minute-to-minute EE measurement over a longer time period than portable calorimeters (usually 24-h) and does not require participants to wear a face mask or a mouthpiece during the measurement (3, 18). The DLW technique measures total EE over a 10-14 day period in a free-living environment but it does not provide data about PA performed during this period. Therefore, a combination of these two techniques offers a robust validation of models developed to estimate EE from data generated by PA monitors (15).
In the laboratory validation phase, minute-by-minute and total EE predicted with the two-regression model was compared with EE measured simultaneously by the room calorimeter during the waking period of a 24-h stay. In the second phase conducted for 14 days in free-living conditions, average daily EE predicted by the model was compared with the DLW measured EE. Our null hypothesis was that individual EE predicted by the models will not be different from EE measured by both room calorimeter and DLW techniques. We also investigated if applying a low pass filter to the predicted EE would improve the two-regression model's estimation of the minute-to-minute EE without compromising its predictive accuracy for total EE.
Thirty-four adult volunteers (11 males, 23 females) with a wide range of age (20 - 67 yrs) and BMI (19.3 - 52.1 kg/m2) were recruited from the middle Tennessee area using flyers and email distribution lists. Before participation, all volunteers signed an informed consent document approved by the Vanderbilt University Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects. All 34 subjects completed the room calorimeter study. A subsample of 7 males (age 47 ± 19 yrs, BMI 25.2 ± 4.5 kg/m2) and 15 females (age 39 ± 11 yrs, BMI 30.8 ± 9.8 kg/m2) completed the DLW phase of the study. Participants were free of diseases and medications known to alter metabolic rate, major orthopedic limitations, and were non-smokers. The characteristics of the participants are shown in Table 1.
Body weight was measured to the nearest 0.05 kg with a digital scale (Detecto-Medic, Detecto Scales, Inc, Northbrook, IL) with the participants wearing light clothing and no shoes. Height was measured using a wall-mounted stadiometer (Perspective Enterprises, Portage, MI).
Each participant was asked to stay in the whole room indirect calorimeter for approximately 24-hours while second-by-second activity movement in the vertical direction was recorded using ActiGraph GT1M worn at the hip, wrist, and ankle. The room calorimeter is an airtight room measuring 2.5 × 3.4 × 2.4 m capable of measuring energy expenditure (EE) on a minute-by-minute basis using room O2 and CO2 concentrations. Housed within the Vanderbilt Clinical Research Center, it is equipped with a toilet and sink, desk, chair, telephone, television, DVD player, stereo system, bed, treadmill, and exercise bike. A computerized system with a touch monitor and an audible signal prompted participants to start and finish each scheduled activity. Technical details of the room calorimeter have been reported previously (24).
Each participant was asked to engage in two sessions of structured activities. The morning session included several self-paced walking and jogging bouts performed on the room floor and on the treadmill. The afternoon session contained several sedentary activities, such as deskwork, along with stationary biking, and stepping onto a block. Each activity was performed for 10-min followed by a 10-min rest to allow the metabolic rate to return to baseline and help with post hoc discrimination between activity types. During periods when no specific activity was scheduled, participants were encouraged to engage in their normal daily PA routine as much as possible. Details of the exercise protocols conducted in the room calorimeter have been previously described (18).
Following the room calorimeter stay, participants received DLW sample (0.15 g of 18O2 and 0.09 g of 2H2 per kg of body mass). Urine samples were collected at baseline pre-dose, 4-7 hours post-dose, and on days 7 and 14 post-dose. Analysis was conducted at the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition Research Center, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX. The details of the technique have been described previously (17, 21).
Movement was measured using the ActiGraph GT1M monitor, a small device (5.3 × 5.1 × 2.2 cm) that is usually worn at the hip, wrist, or ankle (14) and measures acceleration in the vertical plane using a uniaxial piezoelectric accelerometer. Detailed specifications of the hardware and a full description of how the monitor acquires and filters activity counts have been described previously (27). Data output from the ActiGraph is reported as activity counts using the manufacturer's Actilife v.4.3.0 software (1). Only the hip data was used for this analysis.
The two-regression model proposed by Crouter et al (5) requires the collection of ActiGraph data in 1-sec epochs. Data from each of the 10-sec segments within each minute are summed to generate six 10-sec epochs. The coefficient of variation (CV = standard deviation / mean * 100) and the sum (1-min count value) of the six 10-sec epochs are then used to categorize each minute of accelerometer data into resting (< 50 counts/min), walking and jogging (>50 counts/min and CV between 0.1 and 10), and lifestyle activities (50 counts/min and CV equal to 0 or >10). The 1-min count value is used to compute a predicted EE in units of metabolic equivalents (MET = total EE/resting EE) using either an exponential model, for the lifestyle activities, or a cubic model for walking and jogging. All resting minutes are assigned an EE value of 1 MET. A graphical representation of the two-regression model is shown in Figure 1.
The two-regression ActiGraph model was developed to estimate EE associated with PA. Therefore, to assure best criteria for unbiased comparison we selected 780-min of each participant's waking (non-sleeping) period measured in room calorimeter for the analysis. For the DLW study, accelerometer wear time was determined for each day using the criteria specified by Troiano et al (26), where non-wear time is defined as a minimum of 60-min of consecutive zero activity counts, allowing for 1-2 min of non-zero counts less than 100 counts/min. Valid days for the free living study were defined as consisting of at least 600-min of wear time. During the 14-day monitoring period, participants had average 11.9 ± 2.1 valid days.
The individual room calorimeter data was converted to METs by dividing the total EE by his/her measured resting EE. We observed high variability (noisy) data in the predicted minute-to-minute EE (Figure 2A). Therefore, a low pass five point median filter (LPF), a commonly used method to remove transient artifacts (7), was applied to the EE estimation (Figure 2B).
The average individual daily EE computed using the two-regression model both with and without the LPF were then compared to the EE measured during free-living with DLW. The DLW energy expenditure was converted to METs by dividing average daily EE by resting EE measured in the room calorimeter.
Data are presented as mean, standard deviation and total range unless otherwise indicated. The total EE, absolute percent difference in total EE, the minute-by-minute mean absolute error, mean squared error, and the number of minutes spent in sedentary (1.0 – 1.5 METs), light (1.5 – 3.0 METs), moderate (3.0 – 6.0 METs), and vigorous (> 6.0 METs) PA were compared between the two-regression model and the room calorimeter data using paired t-tests, p<0.05 was considered significant. In the DLW study, the average daily EE was compared between the two-regression model and the DLW measurements using paired t-tests. Bland-Altman plots (2) were used to assess magnitude bias in average daily EE and the average daily EE. All analyses were conducted using MatLab 2008a (Mathworks, Natick MA).
The two-regression model significantly overestimated the total METs measured by the room calorimeter during waking (non-sleeping) time (1,282 ± 125 vs. 1,174 ± 152 MET-min, p < 0.001). The LPF decreased the two-regression model estimation to 1,195 ± 119 MET-min and the difference with room calorimeter was not significant (p = 0.419).
The individual variability and magnitude bias in the total MET-min measured during the non-sleeping minutes was assessed using Bland-Altman plots (Figure 3). The mean difference between the room calorimeter and the two-regression model was 108 MET-min, indicating an overestimation of 10.15 ± 11.42 %. The LPF significantly reduced the mean difference to 21 MET-min, or 2.72 ± 10.9 % (p<0.001). Neither method demonstrated a significant magnitude bias in the estimation of total MET-min (all p> 0.05).
Compared to the unfiltered two-regression model, the LPF model significantly decreased the minute-to-minute mean absolute error from 0.54 ± 0.11 to 0.44 ± 0.09 MET-min and mean squared error from 0.73 ± 0.25 to 0.49 ± 0.20 (MET-min)2 (both p< 0.01).
A comparison of time spent in sedentary (1.0 – 1.5 MET), light (1.5 – 3.0 MET), moderate (3.0 – 6.0 MET), and vigorous (> 6.0 MET) PA intensity categories computed using the unfiltered and LPF models and measured by the room calorimeter is presented in Figure 4. Time spent in the sedentary PA overestimated by the LPF model (26.3 ± 54.7 min, p = 0.008). Both models significantly underestimated time spent in light PA (−48.3 ± 55.0 and −54.6 ± 50.0 min) and overestimated time spent in moderate PA (36.9 ± 46.0 and 17.8±39.5 min; p<0.05 for all comparisons). No differences were detected between the models and time spent in the vigorous PA intensity (p>0.05).
Both the two-regression and LPF were used to estimate the energy expenditure in free-living and compared to the DLW-measured EE. There was no significant difference between the group-averaged daily EE measured with the DLW (2,108 ± 358 MET-min/day) and the EE predicted using either the unfiltered or LPF two-regression models (2,192 ± 228 and 2,104 ± 218 MET-min/day), as demonstrated in Figure 5. However, compared to the EE predicted with unfiltered two-regression model, the EE predicted using the LPF model had a significantly lower mean difference (84 ± 342 vs. −4 ± 336 MET-min/day, p<0.001) and percent difference (5.97±16.0 % vs. −1.71±15.3 %, p<0.001) to the EE measured with the DLW.
Bland-Altman plots (Figure 5) revealed that while the mean difference between the EE predicted by the models and the average DLW-measured EE is relatively low, there is a high inter-individual variation measured by the 95% confidence intervals (CI 670 and 659 MET-min/day for the unfiltered and LPF models). A significant negative magnitude bias was detected for both models (p<0.05).
In this study we determined the validity the two-regression model (5) to predict EE of PA from body movements recorded by the ActiGraph GTM1 accelerometer. We found good agreement between the average daily EE predicted by the filtered two-regression model and EE measured using both a whole-room indirect calorimeter and free-living DLW in a group of adults with wide range of age (20–67 yrs) and BMI (19–52 kg/m2). However, the accuracy of the model was shown to have a large inter-individual variability.
To our knowledge this is the first reported study that independently validated the two-regression model proposed by Crouter et al (5) using whole-room indirect calorimetry and DLW techniques. The model over-estimated the group average total daily EE by approximately 10.15 ± 11.42% when compared to EE measured by the room calorimeter and by 5.97 ± 16.0% when measured by the DLW. Our data also showed that the model underestimated the time spent in the light (1.5-3.0 MET) PA intensity and overestimated time spent in the moderate (3.0-6.0 MET) PA intensity observed in 29 of 33 our study participants. This suggests that the model may consistently overestimate EE prediction in light PA intensity category triggering misclassification of time intervals (min) spent in light into the moderate intensity PA category. This finding could be important in free-living studies using the two-regression model and carried out in populations spending significant amount of time in light PA intensity.
Using minute-to-minute simultaneous ActiGraph and EE measurements in the room calorimeter, we found that transient increases in EE predicted by the two-regression model do not always correspond to changes in measured EE. We also noticed that during activities characterized by constant intensity, such as running on the treadmill with a steady speed, the predicted minute-to-minute EE changed more than EE measured by the room calorimeter. This discrepancy could be considered a limitation of the model since a small change in the number of activity counts and/or their variability can lead to much larger changes in the predicted EE. To mitigate this effect, we applied the LPF to smooth the rapid minute-to-minute changes in the predicted EE. This approach led to a significant reduction in the mean absolute and mean squared error terms of the EE prediction reflecting physiological response to the movement. The LPF also significantly reduced the average total daily error from approximately 10% to 3% during the room calorimeter and from 6% to −2% during the DLW free-living phases of the study. However, the significant magnitude bias identified in both the filtered and unfiltered models during the DLW study indicate that both methods tend to over-predict EE in individuals with lower daily EE and under-predict EE in those with higher daily EE. The LPF model also improved the agreement between measured and predicted time spent in moderate and vigorous PA categories. However, the LPF technique reduced the ability of the model to accurately determine time spent in sedentary PA. This may be an important limitation of the LPF, since there is growing interest in characterizing the duration and intensity of sedentary PA behaviors (8, 13). Nevertheless, the LPF method may be useful because it can be applied to existing ActiGraph data sets to recalculate and perhaps correct predicted time spent in moderate and vigorous PA intensities and improve accuracy of the minute-to-minute predictions of EE. Future work should determine if the threshold used for activity count variability (CV) and/or the length of the LPF (5 minutes) used in this study should be modified to minimize the significant interindividual variability between measured and predicted EE in the free-living found in our study.
Our results are similar to previous ActiGraph DLW free-living validation studies that used linear regression equations to predict EE from the ActiGraph data (10-13, 15). The confidence intervals (CIs) calculated for the DLW in our study are also comparable to those reported previously. In a similar DLW validation study reported by Leenders, et al (11) involving 13 healthy females wearing ActiGraph and Tritrac (Reining International, Inc., Madison, WI, USA) accelerometers for 7 days, the authors found that the EE predictions using the ActiGraph equations developed by Hendelman, et al (10) and Swartz, et al (25) based on lifestyle activities had the best agreement with EE measured by DLW, with differences (expressed as mean ± SD [range]) of −2 ± 16.6 % [−24 to 23%] and −4 ± 16.6 % [−29 to 24%], respectively. In the current study, we observed similar differences of −1.71 ± 15.3 % [−23.7 to 28.3%] and 5.97 ± 16.0% [−20.0 to 32.3%] for the filtered and unfiltered model, respectively. This may suggest that the two-regression model is not providing additional significant improvements in individual estimation of total EE when compared to equations reported earlier. Potential contributors to the variability between measured and predicted EE include individual variation in sleeping EE and sleep patterns, variability in accelerometer wear-time during waking hours, and variable amounts of activities which are difficult to measure using current accelerometer technology (e.g. biking, weight training, climbing stairs, etc.). These and other factors should be considered in designing and conducting studies in which energy expenditure and activity patterns are major outcome variables. Using similar validation approaches, future studies should also assess the accuracy and variability of more recently published approaches and equations (4, 16, 18, 28) and accelerometer placement. Similarly, many generalized prediction equation, such as two-regression model tested in this study, have not been rigorously validated for use in specialized populations with more unique PA patterns, including children, morbidly obese, older adults, and subjects experiencing significant weight changes. Furthermore, the limitations and variability of these generalized prediction equations should be taken into consideration in designing research protocols or clinical applications in which the amount and pattern of free-living PA or PA related EE are important outcome measures. For example, while we found the two-regression model with LPF might be sufficient to monitor average daily EE as a group, the original model would be better suited to identify sedentary activities.
Although using both the room calorimeter and free-living DLW assessment as calibration tools is a robust way to validate EE prediction equations from accelerometer data, we recognize that these methods have some limitations. First, the effect of diet-induced thermogenesis, which typically accounts for approximately 10% of the total daily EE, was not specifically measured or taken into account in either validation method. Second, while the standardization of activity bouts performed in the room calorimeter were advantageous for the consistency of the results, they may have directed the activity profile toward certain PA intensity categories which may not accurately represent the subjects' normal daily PA patterns. Third, the relatively small size of the room calorimeter (20.4 m3) limited the equipment used and types of activities that were performed during the study. Finally, variations in the sleeping EE and sleep patterns during the free-living phase of the study were not accounted for and may have contributed to the variation in differences between measured and predicted EE observed in our study.
In conclusion, the EE predicted by a low-pass filtered version of the two-regression model proposed by Crouter et. al. (5) showed good agreement with total EE measured in laboratory condition and in free-living using reference standards. The LPF approach offered improved total EE prediction and minute-to-minute accuracy compared to the original model. Despite the improvements in total EE prediction, the individual variability in assessing time spent in sedentary, low, and moderate PA intensities and related EE remained significant.

The Met Cloisters: An Overview
العربية | 简体中文 | 繁體中文 | deutsch | English | Français | Italiano | 한국어 | português | русский
Opened in 1938 as a branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Met Cloisters is America's only museum dedicated exclusively to the art and architecture of the Middle Ages. Including a museum and gardens within a single complex, it picturesquely overlooks the Hudson River in Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan and derives its name from the portions of five medieval cloisters incorporated into a modern museum structure. Not replicating any one particular medieval building type or setting, but rather designed to evoke the architecture of the later Middle Ages, The Met Cloisters creates an integrated and harmonious context in which visitors can experience the rich tradition of medieval artistic production, including metalwork, painting, sculpture, and textiles. By definition, a cloister consists of a covered walkway surrounding a large open courtyard that provides access to other monastic buildings. Similarly, the museum's cloisters act as passageways to galleries; they provide as inviting a place for rest and contemplation for visitors as they often did in their original monastic settings.
An Overview of the Museum
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the world's largest and finest art museums. Its collections include more than two million works of art spanning 5,000 years of world culture, from prehistory to the present and from every part of the globe.

Gregory Afoko is facing charges of conspiracy and murder
An Accra magistrate court has set August 11, 2015 for ruling on a bail application for the accused persons alleged to have murdered the Upper East regional chairman of the NPP Adams Mahama.
The judge hearing the case, Justice Ken A. Okwabi, however adjourned to Tuesday August 11, because the docket for Afoko's bail application could not be found.
He ordered for the immediate retrieval of the document.
In the initial hearing of the bail application, the court was unable to hear the case because the state attorneys expected to have been in court to respond to the motion were absent due to their strike action.
The two, Gregory Afoko who has been charged with murder and Musah Issah who is also facing charges of abetment of murder have been in police custody since their arrest in May 2015.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that the attire of Gregory Afoko, one of the two persons standing trial over the murder of Adams Mahama, Upper East regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which was retrieved by the Police, contained acid.
According to the Attorney General (AG), other materials such as the gallon containing the sulphuric acid, the burnt clothing of the deceased, substances retrieved from his vehicle, all contained the same sulphuric acid.
This was contained in a 28-paragraph affidavit in opposition to the application for bail filed at the court by lawyers for Gregory.
It said the "clothing of the applicant (Gregory) which was retrieved and sent for forensic examination, disclosed that the clothing was laced with sulphuric acid."
The affidavit, filed at the Accra Human Rights Court on July 28, 2015, further disclosed that the final report on the wound on Gregory's leg was yet to be released.
It would be recalled that Adams Mahama was attacked with acid on his way home at night and died extensive burns the morning after the attack.

Simon Jacomet - Founder of ZAI – The world's finest ski maker
From Vision to Perfection
PASSION and innovation drive Simon Jacomet in all he does, from the grandest vision right down to the smallest detail.
Whether he's creating a new technology or chopping wood for the winter in his alpine home, the man regarded by many as the most innovative ski designer of his generation will apply the same zen-like focus to the task. If there is a better way of doing something, Simon Jacomet will find it.
Simon's achievements in the ski industry are second to none. As Founder and Creative Head of Zai he has developed new materials and technologies, finding radical solutions where others see only a dead end. When Bentley Motors demanded a ski that echoed the performance of their famous cars — as task even their own engineers thought impossible — it was Simon Jacomet who created it.
Simon studied art in Florence, supporting himself as a ski instructor. His radical teaching methods proved so effective he later became Technical Coach to the Swiss Ski Team. As Chief Developer at Salomon, he was instrumental in the development of the modern carving techniques and equipment that helped fuel a global ski industry boom.
In 2003, Simon founded Zai, and set to work realising his dream of creating the ultimate ski. Now a successful brand with 60 dealerships worldwide, Zai has become a byword for the finest Swiss innovation and craftsmanship — and a conduit for Simon's neverending stream of energy and ideas.
Simon Jacomet is the opposite of a polished motivational speaker. Not only because he comes from the mountains, but because of his calm, engaging manner, his pithy Graubünden dialect (he also speaks perfect High German), and the conviction with which he communicates his philosophy. Simon leaves audiences entertained, informed and inspired — and feeling that they too can achieve the impossible.

Ti-rich phlogopite from Mt. Vulture (Potenza, Italy) investigated by a multianalytical approach: substitutional mechanisms and orientation of the OH dipoles

Trioctahedral mica samples, collected at Cava St. Antonio (Mt. Vulture, Italy) were studied by combining electron-microprobe and C-H-N elemental analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction refinement, Mössbauer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies.Electron-microprobe analyses show the crystals to be quite homogeneous with TiO2 ∼3 wt % and F ranging from 0.42 to 0.59 wt %. Quantitative analyses of H combined with ferric/ferrous ratios from Mössbauer data allowed reliable crystal-chemical formulae to be derived. The results suggest that the entry of both Ti4+ and Fe3+ in the structure occurs through R-oxy substitution mechanisms involving deprotonation at O(4). This inference is supported by X-ray structure-refinement results (notably the c cell-parameter, the off-centering of the M2 cation towards O(4), the bond-length distortions of the cis-M2 octahedron) obtained using anisotropic thermal parameters in space group C2/m. The amount of oxy-substitutions from both electron-microprobe and X-ray data is in agreement with carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen analyses which give an average anion composition (OH1.25 O0.65 F0.10).Polarized-light infrared spectroscopy shows a complex OH-stretching spectrum which is composed of several overlapping (at least five) components. These can be assigned to the main octahedral local configurations that are compatible with the chemical composition. Pleochroic Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements done along the principal optical directions show that the O-H bond axis is tilted from [001] and provide the average orientation of the O-H dipole in the structure: O-H ^ α ∼ 23° and O-H ^ γ ∼ 56°.

McMurray Wins Sonoma Pole
By: Dustin Long - @dustinlong on June 22, 2013 | 4:41 P.M. EST
Jamie McMurray won the pole with a lap of 94.986 mph. (Photo Getty Images)
SONOMA, Calif. - Instead of worrying about strategy for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Sonoma Raceway, Jamie McMurray will just enjoy winning the pole.
McMurray scored his first pole of the season and second at this 1.99-mile course Saturday with a lap of 94.986 mph. His most recent pole came in March 2011 at Martinsville Speedway.
McMurray won the pole as the Cup series used group qualifying for the first time. Drivers were allowed to qualify in groups of five or six for up to five minutes instead of having one car go around the track alone.
McMurray was in the final group and took the pole from Marcos Ambrose, also was in the last session. Ambrose, who tested here last month, starts second after a lap of 94.924 mph.
"This is the way they should have done it for years,'' said Dale Earnhardt Jr., who will start 26th. "It's a lot easier to get everything done and get everything accomplished, and it gives us a little bit more exciting session to watch. I'm all for it."
McMurray started on the pole at this track in 2007 but it was not a memorable day, staring with the opening lap.
"I remember sitting on the pole here last time and not sleeping the whole night, worried about strategy and what we were going to do,'' said McMurray, who finished 37th in that race. "I got to the turn and I got off the track and I came off 35th or 40th.''
This time he won't worry about whether his team plans to stretch fuel and make it on two pit stops or use a three stop strategy.
Behind McMurray and Ambrose are Roush Fenway Racing teammates Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle, who have mended any hard feelings from last week when Biffle didn't slow early in the race to allow Edwards to remove debris from his grille. Defending race winner Clint Bowyer starts fifth.
Sixth through 10th has Matt Kenseth, Kurt Busch, Joey Logano, Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon.
Among the road-racing specialists who are making a rare Cup start, Jacques Villeneuve starts 22nd with Boris Said 24th and Ron Fellows 25th.
Martin Truex Jr. will start 14th, completing a qualifying lap before he pulled off course during his group session. The culprit was a wiring harness to the cool box, which he wasn't even using.
"Something burned up in the race car,'' Truex said. "The last few turns of the lap, I definitely screwed up because I had smoke flying and it smelled really bad. I was like, 'Oh no, what's going on here?' So, my concentration was kind of messed up. I think we're going to be okay.''
Also, four drivers will be making their Sprint Cup debuts. Justin Marks starts 36th, Alex Kennedy starts 39th and Victor Gonzalez Jr., who crashed during his session, starts 42nd. Paulie Harraka starts 40th and will become the first graduate of the Drive for Diversity program to start a Cup race.
Jason Bowles qualified 34th. Brian Vickers, who competed in Saturday's Nationwide race at Road America, will drive the car in Sunday's race and start at the back of the field because of the driver change.

Knowledge-building and networking: the Leadership for Learning case
School Leadership & Management, Volume 28, Issue 4 September 2008 , pages 307 – 322
Abstract: Leadership for learning (LfL) is conceived as a network rather than as a centre within the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education. This paper explores what is understood by the term network, both within LfL and in the wider educational and research communities, and how these understandings are reflected in a number of projects carried out under the aegis of LfL over the last three years. The paper draws out the key distinguishing features of these activities and, using the five principles of leadership for learning, explores the degree to which these activities have contributed to the creation and transfer of new knowledge. The paper concludes by proposing a model for knowledge-building which draws on the work of LfL and suggests ways in which this model may be of use to the wider educational community.

Officials: possible state oversight unrelated to FBI probe
n States new financial scoring and $23.1 million deficit for 2001 and 2002 land district on watch list
Dr. Ellen Bueschel, interim superintendent of the Rockford School District (RSD), said talks with state officials about possible intervention of a state Financial Oversight Panel were not related to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) probe of the districts computers and servers.
Naomi Greene, spokesperson for the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), said the district invited ISBE Superintendent Robert Schiller to discuss the possibility of voluntary intervention of the state overseeing the districts finances. Schiller and Bueschel met before Thanksgiving [Nov. 27], Greene said.
When asked whether the district talks with the state were related to the federal probe, Greene said Schiller couldnt comment on that because the district has not asked us to step in.
However, Schiller later contacted The Rock River Times about the federal investigation and his visit.
That [the federal investigation] had no bearing on it [his visit], Schiller said. I had read a newspaper report [about the investigation] prior to my getting there, and I had seen a television report on it, but that was all, I was invited up by her [Bueschel] to explain what the implications were of the financial oversight panel law.
School Board Member Mike Williams (D-Sub-district A) said of the visit: Initially, Dr. Bueschel said Schiller was driving through Rockford and stopped. Then she said he called her. Now I understand she called him. That was based on what Dr. Bueschel said in the Register Star.
Schiller said: It was not convoluted at all. I was visiting a district in Round Lake. I was invited to visit Rockford by Dr. Bueschel. After I visited the district in Round Lake, I visited Rockford the next morning to have a cup of coffee with her.
As to the district being on the state watch list, Williams said: Its an example again of how the administration does not have a very good handle on our finances. Weve been waiting to get a plan on the district finances since last spring. Now Dr. Bueschel says she thought she had until January. We are being asked to approve a budget without a plan. I think thats irresponsible.
Number one, we have to adopt a plan for getting us off the financial watch list . We have only two years to make significant cuts in our budget. We only have two years before we lose another 58 cents of our tax levy, which is almost $6 million in revenue. We are almost at our maximum borrowing power. Unless we have a plan, well be bankrupt in two years.
Another major thing coming up is the almost 300 teachers coming up for retirement. Thats several million dollars we have to pay into that retirement fund, Williams said.
Financial score and deficits
According to the ISBEs Web site, the states new financial assessment profile, which was implemented in 2002, uses five criteria to measure a districts financial heath. Each of the five indicators is assigned a weighted numerical score that is added to produce a Total Financial Profile Score.
The Total Financial Profile Score places districts in one of four categories. In order of financial health, the categories are: financial recognition (4.00 to 3.54), financial review (3.53 to 3.08), financial early warning (3.07 to 2.62) and financial watch (2.61 to 0.00).
The lower the score, the worse a school districts financial health. Rockford earned a Total Financial Profile Score of 2.35 in 2002, which landed the district on the states watch list.
Venice Community School District near St. Louis received a Total Financial Profile Score of 0.00. A large number of other districts received overall scores below 2.
Districts on the financial watch list include 100 of the states 893 school districts. Another 183 districts are on the financial early warning list. The 2001 financial watch list contained only 11 school districts. However, numbers on the watch list increased significantly in 2002 due to the new financial health assessment method.
Prior to 2002, the list was generated using a single financial indicatorfund balance to revenue ratio. The states Web site indicates the 2002 list provides a more accurate snapshot of the financial status of school districts.
According to state records, the districts deficit spending totaled $23.1 million for 2001 and 2002, while under the leadership of former district Superintendent Alan Brown. Brown served from June 2000 until he was fired in March 2003 by the Rockford School Board.
The most recent state data show a 13.6 million deficit in 2002 (see graph on A1). The district had $214.5 million in revenues and $228.1 million in expenditures in 2002. The districts 2001 deficit was $9.5 million with $209.4 million in revenues and $218.9 million in expenditures.
State panel
Greene said there are two ways a state Financial Oversight Panel could intervenevoluntary and involuntary. Rockford is exploring voluntary intervention, according to Greene.
As to whether or not Rockford is actually considering this option seriously, state Superintendent Schiller said, I dont know.
The law mandates for the state to intervene on a voluntary basis, the district must be on the financial watch list. The local school board must then petition the state for consideration of implementing a three-member panel that is appointed by the state superintendent. The ISBE then votes whether or not to implement the panel and provide emergency financial assistance that the district must eventually repay.
FBI probe
The Rock River Times learned in late October that a federal investigation may be aimed at specific school administrators involving unauthorized conduct concerning district computer servers and personal computers (see Nov. 19 issue).
E-Blaster or spyware, a remote monitoring system, was allegedly used to enter computers not associated with the school district. The targets e-mail was allegedly monitored to track their activity. Also, servers or laptops may have been used to conduct and host commercial businesses.
Sources allege lower-grade computers may have been purchased, with the district being charged for higher-grade computers. Sources also allege that laptops were given to some to ensure their cooperation in possible illegal activity.
School district supplies, some funded partially by federal funds, may also have been sold to commercial establishments.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'R4 DS' started by acevampire, Nov 14, 2007.
Are 4 gigabyte SD cards compatible with the R4? If not, is there any date when they will be?
Search function.
Would it hurt much to just say "No, they are not compatible"?
Anyway there is no set date for the next kernel, which may include SDHC compatibility, although many people doubt this is possible.
Right, thank you for the kind response.
So I guess this guide is incorrect?
4gb cards are compatible but they have to be non SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity, for capacities above 2 GB) cards. This type of card stop being made when the SDHC standard was Confirmed as main standard for SD cards over 2gb. SDHC cards are not compatible with the R4 as the SD slot dose not support the SDHC standard. More Information on SD card types can be found here > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card
Dang...I found a great 4gig card for 32 bucks...
Oh well, thanks anyways. Going to have to wait for the Cyclo to get back in stock, and who the hell knows when that'll happen.
Probably not, but do you want to nourish that kind of behavior? Do we really need another influx of "Does the R4 play GBA game?" type threads? No, we do not. The search function is there for multiple reasons, one of which is to help minimize duplicate topics. If you wish to talk about this any further, PM me.
Where'd you find a $32 4GB MicroSD?
32 dollars after rebate
Damn, might get that for my phone.
Fun fact for everyone.
V1.12 will NOT add SDHC compatibility to the R4, if you want to use the 4GB+ MicroSDHCs, wait until they release the new R4 with the SDHC enabled slot, or just buy a CycloDSEvo.
The cyclo is out of stock everywhere
post deleted by author.
reason: CNET affiliation
I believe this card is NOT SDHC and is 4GB:
Note, I haven't bought my R4DS yet so I can't test it, but I do have one of these microSD cards so I plan to.
4gb is sdhc. will be unstable on r4
This card indeed isn't SDHC, but it also isn't MicroSD, so it physically won't fit in your R4DS.
If you feel that I'm a jerk, thats you're opinion, but I stand by my original statement. There have been at least a dozen topics on this same question. I'm sorry that I don't agree with your spoon feeding methodology, and that I gave an answer that, had it been followed, would have forced a new user to look for the answer on his own. Interestingly enough, if he had done that in the first place, he would have found the answer faster than we would have replied. Additionally, if you review the Forum Rules, you will see under the Forum Decency section that it clearly states to search before posting. Acevampire, all of this aside, I would really recommend taking a gander at that link, to avoid issues in the future (as there are alot of things people do that they aren't supposed to, some of which do result in bans)
Now, all that being said. I once again say that if you want to continue this further, if you want to bash/slam/insult me, if you want to call me rude, call me a jerk, or if you disagree with what I'm saying, PM me. These types of post do not contribute anything to the thread, and I am only here to re-enforce my "Search function." answer by giving proof that it was a more effective way of finding the answer and to state that the FAQ does not have the information that it was previously implied to have had.
Now, I do not believe you were being rude, but I do believe that you are taking this out of hand. You have-- in the scheme of things-- contradicted your logic. You want to stop topics like this from spawning by telling the author of such a topic to use the search function (I apologize. It was my fault, but this is out of hand), yet, you could have just as easily said 'the R4 is not compatible with SDHC cards'.
Why didn't you? You say it will stop topics like this from being created?
Not really...I fail to see substructure for your theory. You tell one person to use the search function, but in retrospect, how much good does that do for the community as a whole? Not much.
Not only this, but by saying 'search function', you have created more argument in a topic like this than is needed.
Right, didn't mean to get in a flame war or anything like that.
EDIT- Again, I do admit I was wrong to not go to the search function first; and again, I apologize.
Kind Regards,

Have you been noticing lately that your feet are swollen? Is it painful? If yes, then there could be certain surprising reasons for your swollen feet, which you must make yourself aware of.
The human body has a way of giving us warning signs of certain impending diseases, in the form of symptoms.
So, we must be alert enough to recognise these symptoms and take the necessary measure, in an effort to prevent certain major health complications!
Many a times, we may not be able to understand these symptoms fully and so, we may end up ignoring them, making way for a number of diseases.
Swelling is a phenomenon in which a particular body part, be it an organ, skin, etc., enlarges as a result of inflammation in most cases. The inflammation is coupled with the accumulation of fluid inside.
The swelling of any part of the body can lead to a lot of pain and discomfort, and it is even worse when it comes to the feet, as movement gets hampered!
So, have a look at some of the reasons for swollen feet, here!
1. Excessive Movement
One of the reasons for swollen feet can be because you have been walking around too much, applying a lot of pressure on your feet, leading to inflammation and swelling.
2. Wrong Shoes
Many people do not realise this, but wearing the wrong shoes, or a pair of shoes that are too tight or uncomfortable, can also lead to the feet swelling up with pain!
3. Weight Gain
When a person gains weight, his/her feet are put under a lot of pressure, as the feet bear the entire weight of the body, while moving around, and this may cause swelling in the feet.
4. Pregnancy
One of the main symptoms of pregnancy is swollen feet! Swollen feet occur during pregnancy due to weight gain and also because of certain hormonal changes in the body.
5. Circulation Disorder
Yet another cause for swollen feet can be due to circulation disorders such as varicose veins, which can cause blood clotting in the leg and feet regions, thereby leading to swelling.
6. Diabetes
People suffering from the metabolic disorder, diabetes, can also suffer from swollen feet due to a poor blood circulation and fluid retention in the feet.
7. Infection
Another reason for swollen feet is infection. If you are suffering from fungal or bacterial infection of the toes or feet, you may experience feet swelling.

Your Pontiac dealership isn't the only place to buy the best repair parts to fix your Sunfire. Auto enthusiasts know that a known brand is built into each Pontiac, and understand that only the best repair Sunfire parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. When your Pontiac Sunfire rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants an American name in their automobile. You purchased your Sunfire because its dependability and trustworthy transportation appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts?
A brake system that works properly will ensure you can stop your car or truck when you want. That means your Pontiac Sunfire brake lines or hoses need to be free of leaks at all times. Hydraulic brake lines connect the brake calipers or wheel cylinders to the master cylinder on your car or truck. When you depress the brake pedal in your Pontiac Sunfire, the brake fluid goes from the master cylinder to each wheel and works its magic to slow down your car. If there's a leak in a brake hose, then you should feel much less response from the brake pedal when you depress it.
Ordering new Pontiac parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Sunfire parts on the internet. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Pontiac Sunfire part for your needs. Need 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995 Pontiac Sunfire Brake Line & Hose parts? We've got them right here.
