The Martin Dreadnought Junior is a great value acoustic guitar. It's got the quality of tone you'd expect from a Martin.
Built slightly smaller than a dreadnought, the Martin Dreadnought Junior guitar boasts 14 open frets for a unique design and great range of tone. The top is Solid Sitka Spruce while the back and sides are genuine Solid Sapele, offering strong guitar tone, with crisp, clear subtleties in each note's definition.
Built Solid
The Martin guitar is equipped with a mortise and tennon neck joint, offering the best wood binding practice ever conceived (also used for shipbuilding) the process fuses 2 pieces of wood into a single, sturdy unit that stands up to the elements time and time again. The results are evident with the strength in tone and power in projection that you hear with each strum.
Richlite Fretboard
Richlite is slowly becoming a common material for fretboards. A recycled resin compound it gives a tone that's nearly identical to Ebony, its fast, smooth but unlike wood doesn't require any treatment or conditioning.

The following disclosure relates generally to medical devices and methods of use. More particularly, the following disclosure relates to devices and methods for treating ventricular dilation.
Ventricular dilation (also referred to as ventricular dilatation) is a condition wherein the wall of the heart muscle thins and/or expands as compared to a healthy heart. For a variety of reasons, a dilated ventricle often exhibits a reduced ability to pump blood. As a result, this condition typically increases the load on the heart while decreasing cardiac efficiency. One reason for the increased load on the heart is that blood is pumped in a direction other than directly towards the heart valve (e.g., aortic valve). Another reason for the increased load on the heart is that the enlarged ventricle can negatively affect the operation of one or more heart valves. More particularly, if the leaflets of a heart valve are not aligned properly due to an enlarged valve annulus, the leaflets may not close tightly. Incomplete leaflet closure leads to regurgitation of blood through the valve.
In recent years, it has been discovered that ventricular dilation is a relatively common condition in elderly people that contributes to fatigue when performing physical activities such as walking. Unfortunately, in many cases, patients having this condition lead very limited lives. Due to the prevalence of this condition, a number of treatments have been proposed for treating ventricular dilation.
Certain proposed treatments utilize external supports, such as sacs or wraps, which are configured to be placed around the exterior of the heart to shore up the ventricular walls in an effort to improve its pumping efficiency. Other treatments involve surgically remodeling the ventricle by removing a portion of the muscular wall. Still other treatments involve pharmacological treatments, such as diuretics, and mechanical pumps for reducing the load on the heart by assisting with the pumping function which is normally performed by the heart. Although many of these treatments have been studied extensively, none of these treatments has met with great success. Furthermore, many of these treatments are highly invasive and may not be appropriate for patients that are already in a weakened cardiac condition. In fact, many believe that the risks of the existing procedures outweigh the potential benefits. As a result, the growing patient population afflicted with this condition is not being adequately treated. Therefore, an urgent need exists for a less invasive and more effective technique for treating ventricular dilation.
The present disclosure relates to a minimally invasive technique for treating ventricular dilation. In one embodiment, an implantable device is placed within a blood vessel extending along a length of the dilated ventricle. The implantable device includes at least one anchor positioned within the vessel and a bridge member secured to the anchor. A second anchor may be positioned within or outside the vessel. The bridge member is tensioned between the anchors for applying a compressive force along the dilated ventricular wall. The bridge member may include a bioabsorbable material that allows the bridge member to gradually contract over time after it is implanted into the body.
In one embodiment, the implantable bridge takes the form of a cardiac bridge which is placed in a vein along the heart muscle. The cardiac bridge is preferably deployed by advancing a delivery catheter through the inferior or superior vena cava to the right atrium of the heart, through the coronary ostium and into the coronary sinus to allow the vein to be reached. One or more anchors are inserted into the vein and the bridge member is tensioned to reduce the dilation and restore the heart to a more normal shape. In various preferred embodiments, a cardiac bridge may be deployed in the middle cardiac vein, the posterior vein of the left ventricle, or the left marginal vein. In other embodiments, the cardiac bridge may be deployed in the great cardiac vein or the diagonal vein.
In accordance with another aspect of the disclosed technology, a cardiac bridge includes a distal anchor that is placed in a cardiac vessel and a bridge member that extends out of the body when the distal anchor is deployed. A second anchor is advanced over two or more bridge members to secure the two or more bridge members together.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the disclosed technology, a deployment device includes a catheter having a proximal anchor on an outer surface thereof. Within the catheter is a pair of sheaths each having a distal anchor thereon and a cover of the sheaths. The distal anchors are connected together by a bridge member and to the proximal anchor by a tether.
In accordance with yet another embodiment, the disclosed technology is used to improve the operation of valves in the heart. In one preferred configuration, one or more cardiac bridges are configured to reshape the heart for reducing undesirable tension on the chordae tendinae. The chordae tendineae are cord-like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve in the heart. A dilated ventricle can increase the tension in the chordae tendinae, thereby negatively impacting the operation of the mitral or triscupid valve. By reshaping the heart with cardiac bridges, the tension in the chordae tendinae is relieved and the function of the heart valve is improved.
The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying figures.
With reference now to
Surrounding the heart ventricle 54 are a number of arteries (not shown) that supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle and a number of veins that return the blood from the heart muscle to the right atrium. The coronary sinus 60 is a relatively large vein that extends generally around the upper portion of the left ventricle 54 and provides a return conduit for blood returning to the right atrium. The coronary sinus terminates at the coronary ostium (not shown) at which point the blood enters the right atrium. As illustrated, a number of smaller veins deliver blood from the heart muscle to the coronary sinus. These veins include the middle cardiac vein 62, the posterior vein of the left ventricle 64 and the left marginal vein 66. Each of these veins extends generally upward along a length of the left ventricle from a location near the apex 68 of the heart to the coronary sinus 60.
Ventricular dilation occurs when a ventricle of the heart becomes enlarged as compared with a healthy heart muscle. According to one preferred embodiment of the present invention, one or more cardiac bridges are configured to be positioned in veins that extend along the outside of the heart for treating ventricular dilation. As will be explained below, the cardiac bridge is adapted to exert a compressive force on the ventricle, thereby reducing the dilation of the heart wall. Although the following disclosure describes positioning cardiac bridges within veins extending along a length of the left ventricle, it will be appreciated that one or more cardiac bridges could also be placed in vessels extending along a length of the right ventricle of the heart or extending along a length of both the left and right ventricles or other vessels such as the great cardiac vein or the diagonal vein. Furthermore, although the following disclosure describes deploying cardiac bridges within the veins of heart muscle, one or more the cardiac bridges may also be placed in the arteries of the heart without departing from the scope of the invention. However, great care must be taken when deploying the cardiac bridges within arteries of the heart because any restriction of blood flow or possible blockage in an artery is a serious patient complication. Nonetheless, for the purpose of this application, the term "cardiac vessel" is intended to mean either a vein or an artery.
With reference now to
In one embodiment, the coupling member 218 includes one or more locking mechanisms that allow the bridge members 208, 210 or 212 to be selectively tightened as necessary to apply a sufficient inward force to the walls of the heart to reduce ventricular dilation. In one preferred configuration, the coupling member takes the form of a slideable clip. The clip may be advanced over the bridge members in an open condition and then adjusted to a closed condition to couple the ends of the bridge members together. In one construction, the clip may be formed of a shape memory material which is biased toward the closed condition. Alternatively, the bridge members could be configured to be attached without the use of a coupling member. For example, the bridge members could be twisted or tied together.
The cardiac bridge 220 includes a proximal anchor 222 and a distal anchor 224 that are joined by a bridge member 226. In one embodiment, the bridge member 226 is constructed with a shape-memory material or a spring-like structure that gradually foreshortens to increase the tension between the proximal and distal anchors after the cardiac bridge has been implanted. The bridge member is selected to have a length and stiffness such that it can exert sufficient force on the heart wall to reduce ventricular dilation as desired. In the illustrated embodiment, the resorbable material 230 is disposed between individual links of the bridge member 226. The resorbable material 230 holds the links of the bridge member 226 in an elongated state during delivery and deployment. However, over time, the material 230 is reabsorbed thereby allowing the links to collapse such that the bridge member is allowed to shorten.
Resorbable materials are those that, when implanted into a human body, are absorbed by the body by means of an enzymatic degradation, hydrolysis and/or by active absorption by blood cells and tissue cells in the human body. Examples of resorbable materials are PDS (Polydioxanone) Pronova (Poly-hexafluoropropylen-DDF), Maxon (Polyglyconat), Dexon (polyglycolic acid) and Vicryl (Polyglactin). As explained in more detail below, a resorbable material may be used in combination with a shape memory material such as Nitinol, Elgiloy or spring steel to allow the super elastic material to return to a predetermined shape over a period of time.
In one embodiment as shown in
The proximal and distal anchors 222, 224 each have a compressed state and an expanded state. In a compressed state, the anchors 222, 224 have a diameter that is less than the diameter of the vessel in which the cardiac bridge is to be deployed. In a compressed state, the anchors 222, 224 preferably have a substantially uniform diameter of about between 1.5 mm and 4 mm. In the expanded state, the proximal and distal anchors 222, 224 have a diameter that is preferably about equal or slightly greater than the inner diameter of the section of the vessel in which the anchor will be deployed.
In the embodiment shown, the bridge member 226 is connected between the proximal anchor 222 and the distal anchor 224 by links 228, 229. More specifically as shown in
In one embodiment, the bridge member 226 is made from a shape memory material and is sufficiently flexible to allow the cardiac bridge 220 to conform to the shape of the vessel surrounding the dilated ventricle. The bridge member 226 comprises X-shaped elements 234, wherein each X-shaped element is connected to an adjacent X-shaped element at the extremities of the X, allowing a space 235 to be created between adjacent X-shaped elements as shown in
Bridge member 226 has two states: an elongated state in which the bridge member has a first length, and a shortened stated in which the bridge member has a second length. The second length is shorter than the first length. As discussed above, a resorbable material such as a resorbable thread 230 is woven into the spaces 235 (shown schematically in
With the distal anchor freed from the inner sheath 302, the inner sheath can be withdrawn proximally thereby tensioning the bridge member 316. The outer sheath 308 can be further withdrawn to uncover the proximal anchor 314 thereby allowing it to radially expand against the interior of the vessel wall. In one embodiment, resorbable materials within the bridge member 316 begin to dissolve once the bridge is placed in the vessel, thereby allowing the bridge member to exert further force against the anchors 312, 314 and against the wall of the ventricle. A further description of the deployment mechanism, including a handle for moving the outer sheath 308 with respect to the inner sheath 302, is found in the US Published Patent Application 2007/00773391A1 mentioned above.
In one embodiment, a delivery mechanism 300 is used to place one or more cardiac bridges in vessels surrounding the dilated ventricle in a manner shown in
A proximal anchor 380 is positioned on the outer sheath 352. The proximal anchor 380 is joined to the bridge member 362 via a tether 382. An outer cover (not shown) over the proximal anchor allows the proximal anchor 380 to expand when removed. The tether 382 is coupled to the bridge member 362 with a slidable or fixed connection at the point where it joins the bridge member 362.
In use, the delivery mechanism 350 is placed near the location in the vessels where the cardiac bridge is to be deployed. The guide wires are positioned in the vessels where the distal anchors are to be placed and the sheaths 354, 356 are routed over the guide wires. Covers over the sheaths 354, 356 are withdrawn to allow the anchors 358, 360 to expand. The outer sheath 352 can then be withdrawn proximally to tension the bridge member 362 before deploying the proximal anchor 380.
During use, the inner sheath 402 is advanced over a guide wire 420 into a vessel. The anchor 404 is deployed and the bridge member 406 is advanced distally into the end of a vessel where is perforates the vessel as shown in
The delivery mechanism 400 can also be used to deploy the cardiac bridge configuration shown in
In the configuration shown in
With reference now to
When a heart becomes dilated, the papillary muscles 608 are often laterally dislocated compared with each other and the diameter of the mitral valve a1 increases compared with a healthy heart. The dislocated papillary muscles create extra tension in the chordae tendinae, which prevents the leaflets from closing completely. By adding one or more cardiac bridges 650 into vessels of the heart as shown in
In view of the many possible embodiments to which the principles of the disclosed invention may be applied, it should be recognized that the illustrated embodiments are only preferred examples of the invention and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention. Rather, the scope of the invention is defined by the following claims. We therefore claim as our invention all that comes within the scope of these claims and equivalents thereof.

A Plan for Pilsen and Little Village
Update: The draft Action Plan is now available for public comment. Please submit comments to Michael Berkshire through July 18, in advance of the Plan Commission meeting on July 20.
Pilsen and Little Village are thriving urban neighborhoods located in Chicago's Lower West Side and South Lawndale community areas, respectively. While each neighborhood has its own unique history, culture, assets, and challenges, the two areas also share many similarities. Both play important roles as vibrant centers of Mexican life in Chicago and the region. Both serve as important job centers and have a significant portion of their land designated for industrial activity. And both share similar goals for the future. Among others, these include: improving and expanding access to parks and open space; expanding housing options; and promoting sustainable business and retail development.
Pilsen and Little Village each have powerful networks of community-based organizations with long histories of working towards these goals. The City of Chicago's Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is leading an effort to draft a land use plan that will build upon each community's valuable assets, as well as past and current planning efforts, in order to complement and continue this work. Like DPD's previous Land Use Strategy, the Pilsen - Little Village Land Use Plan will explore issues and opportunities for the key land uses found in both communities, including parks and open spaces, and housing, commercial, and industrial uses. It will establish goals, identify and prioritize opportunity areas, and outline strategies to achieve these goals. The Plan will be presented to the Chicago Plan Commission for adoption and will help guide decisions and public and private investments for years to come. CMAP is providing staff planning support through its Local Technical Assistance (LTA) program and has contracted with the Pilsen Neighbors Community Council (PNCC) and Enlace Chicago to provide community outreach and engagement assistance in Pilsen and Little Village.
The planning process includes three phases. The first phase will involve an analysis of the existing conditions within the communities using information gathered through review of previous studies, collection of maps and data, and stakeholder interviews. Phase two will focus on setting goals and priorities based on findings from community workshops and the phase one analysis. The final phase will build on previous phases to develop recommended policies and create the Plan.
Public Engagement
The public will have several opportunities to participate in the planning process. The City of Chicago, in partnership with CMAP, will embark on a series of outreach meetings with community leaders, business representatives, and residents from Pilsen and Little Village to solicit and incorporate local input to the planning process. We invite you to participate in the upcoming events.
Community Workshops
Kick-off meetings for the Pilsen - Little Village Plan were held in November 2013. Residents and stakeholders gathered at Dvorak Park on Monday, November 18, for a Pilsen workshop, and at Little Village Academy on Tuesday, November 19 for a Little Village workshop. The meetings focused on parks, open space, and green infrastructure.
In June 2015, two sets of community workshops were held in the neighborhoods. The first set, which focused on housing, retail, and historic preservation, were held on June 16th (Pilsen) and on June 18th (Little Village). The second set of workshops, which focused on industrial areas and open space, were held on June 23rd (Pilsen) and on June 25th (Little Village).
In June 2016, Draft Plan Open Houses were held in the neighborhoods. At the Open Houses, residents and stakeholders had the opportunity to provide input on and learn more about the draft goals and strategies. The Pilsen Open House took place on June 23rd, 2016 at Dvorak Park, and the Little Village Open House took place on June 29th, 2016 at La Villita Community Church.

Olaf Build Guide by lucasm
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Olaf Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This build may seem weird but if your enemy carry is fed and almost 1 vs 5 your team you should consider this build.What makes this build great is the 3 items:Frozen Heart because of the armor and reduced attack speed,Randuins Omen when the ad cary tries to run and last but not least Frozen Mallet this will give you some great sustain power in team fights and slow down there ad carry if he tries to get away.Shurelyas Reverie is a optional item but instead of that you could also get a Gaurdians Angel,Bloodthirster,or a Youmuus Ghostblade.And pls remeber only use this build if they have alot of ad champs and or a fed ad carry(doesnt have to be that fed).I take Mercurys treads becaus of the tenacity it will help in team fights.
My runes ar mainly focused on a powerful sustain in early game (top solo) thats why I picked armor Seals magic resist Glyphs damage marks and damage Quintessence the damage runes go well with my early game damage output from Reckless Swing and the armor and magic resist give me a good sustain in the top lane.But if you think you have better runes please experiment and let me know which worked for your.
My masteries are not really different then for my other top lane champs I go 21 9 0 becaus of the extra damage and sustain my masteries go well with my runes becaus of the armor buff and the damage buff.
Skill order
I max out Reckless Swing and Undertow first ,to do as much damage as possible against the ad carry.But whenever i can i skill my ult because the ult is one of the most important things for helping your in taking down the ad carry it works well with your items you will be a unstoppable force.
thsi build will cost around 9000 gold.Just remeber to farm farm and farm and get your heart of gold and Philosophers Stone and you will have it in no time
Guys please take it easy this is my first guide so I dont know everything only the basics so please take it easy :(.If this gets a positiv feedback ill try to do more guides :)
P.S does anybody know how to put the small pictures of items and runes in your text for example I talk about randuins omen and then I would like to have a picture for that item pls respond

Britney's makeup artist, Melanie Inglessis, is a fan of our EX1 Iniviswear Liquid Foundation and used it to create Britney's look for her recent appearance at the Apple iTunes Music Festival in London. We were absolutely stoked to see the reaction from fans and the media when it was revealed that her foundation was only £12.50 from EX1!!
As the lovely Victoria Jowett said in Cosmopolitan "We all understand the struggle that comes with finding the best foundation, but imagine having to get hold of a base that stays perfect through hours of singing and dancing on stage? Eeek. Well, according to Britney Spears' go-to makeup artist, Mélanie Inglessis, EX1 Cosmetics' Invisiwear Liquid Foundation, does just that. AND it's only £12.50. Amazing, right?"
Check out some of the headlines:
We were also so happy to see that Melanie went along to BeautyMart at Topshop Oxford Circus to check out all our foundations.
What more reason do you need to start preparing for the party season now?!!

Lambert commits to Saints stay
Southampton striker Rickie Lambert has signed a new three-year deal at the Championship club.
Last Updated: 02/07/11 10:27am
Southampton striker Rickie Lambert has signed a new three-year deal at the Championship club.
The 29-year-old had a year left on his existing deal and has now committed himself to the club until 2014.
Lambert made a £1million move from Bristol Rovers in 2009 and has been the Saints' top scorer in each of his two seasons.
The former Rochdale and Stockport forward scored 36 goals in his first year at St Mary's, hitting another 21 last term to help Southampton win promotion back to the Championship.
As well as being League One runners-up last season, Lambert's goalscoring exploits also helped Southampton win the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in 2009/10.
Modest start
After modest spells with Macclesfield and Stockport, the former Blackpool trainee scored 28 goals in 68 games for Rochdale to earn a move to Bristol Rovers.
There he hit another 55 goals in 155 games and now has a career total of 173 from 495 appearances.
Lambert follows Adam Lallana in committing his long-term future to Southampton with the highly-rated midfielder, 23, having signed a new four-and-a-half-year deal in January.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Cowan Slavin Foundation Corp, Framingham, MA, USA
212 Art Center has made art easily accessible in a small community. Whether taking a class, seeing an exhibition of work, or purchasing member work at the Holiday Sale there is no need to travel outside the area.The support they give independant artists on Friday's with the Cake Eaters sessions is extraordiinary, "making" the solitary creators commune with other artists and challenge them for projects often outside of their "comfort zone". Although only a part-time artist, this keeps my mind working.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
The enthusiasm at 212 spurs me on to keep creating and makes me know how important it is to support artists by volunteering to organize and promote art shows.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would give them more space fo accomplish their mission and would get them professional consultatons on publicity and promotion so that they can do a better job "telling their story" to get the publicity they deserve.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah refugee officials and Muslim advocates said Monday that President Donald Trump's revised travel ban doesn't alleviate their concerns about an initiative they contend unfairly targets refugees and Muslim countries.
But Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, applauded Trump for making improvements.
Noor Ul-Hasan, a leader in Utah's Muslim community, said federal officials should focus on figuring out if there are ways to strengthen an already strenuous refugee vetting process rather than singling out Muslim countries without providing evidence about why they are more dangerous.
Utah's unique political culture, influenced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, puts a premium on personal decency and openness to immigrants and refugees.
The embrace of refugees by the religion has roots in the history of the faith, which counted many immigrants among its early members.
The revised travel order leaves Iraq off the list of banned countries but still affects would-be visitors from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya. It is also narrower and specifies that a 90-day ban on people from the six countries does not apply to those who already have valid visas or people with U.S. green cards.
Trump's order keeps the entire U.S. refugee program suspended for 120 days, though refugees already formally scheduled for travel by the State Department will be allowed entry.
"They're trying to show they are more considerate and nice, but that's not enough," Ul-Hasan said. "Our government is supposed to be above other dictatorship regimes and have humanity."
Aden Batar, director of immigration and refugee resettlement for Catholic Community Services of Utah, said the ban leaves refugees stuck in dangerous countries.
Batar said his organization will likely have to lay off workers because of the temporary halt of refugee entries. The group employs about 65 people, most of them full time. He said many are former refugees, including him.
Refugee resettlement agencies receive federal money for every refugee they help resettle, which means his group will lose a key source of funding during the temporary halt of refugees entering the U.S. When the suspension is lifted, the number of refugees allowed into the U.S. will be capped at 50,000 for the 2017 fiscal year that ends Sept. 30.
"The new Trump administration says it's going to create new jobs. Well, he's cutting a lot of jobs for people who support their families," Batar said. "This new administration is creating a fear that doesn't exist. The refugees are not the enemy."
Hatch said in a statement that the revised ban makes significant progress toward what he called for after the first version: to avoid burdening innocent travelers and refugees fleeing violence and persecution.
"I applaud (Trump) for his leadership and urge him to continue the difficult work of crafting policies that keep us safe while living up to our best values," Hatch said.
Gov. Gary Herbert's staff was still reviewing the revised ban and said the governor had no immediate comment.
After the first travel ban was issued, the Republican governor questioned how much the president's actions could combat terrorism and whether he was targeting the right people.
The LDS Church did not issue any new comment Monday, only referring back to its statement issued after the first ban. In that statement, church leaders said they are concerned about people fleeing violence, war and religious persecution. The church urged "all people and governments to cooperate fully in seeking the best solutions to meet human needs and relieve suffering."18 comments on this story
It echoed a statement the faith issued in December 2015, when Trump floated the idea of a ban on Muslim immigration.
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the LDS Church's First Presidency, was a refugee as a child when his family fled the Czech Republic amid war and moved to Germany.
Ul-Hasan said she will continue to advise Muslim immigrants in Utah, many of whom are from Somalia and have green cards or are citizens, to avoid traveling home to visit family because federal officials cannot be trusted.

Andersen Legal has sent a warning to the Dutch Bar by publishing a critical report on the bar's ban of associations between law firms and accountants.
The report, entitled "Fair Competition and the Practice of Law in The Netherlands", was released at the International Bar Association (IBA) conference in Amsterdam on 22 September. It attacks the ruling that multidisciplinary practices are permitted in The Netherlands, except where they involve accountants. Cooperative associations with accountants are also prohibited.
The accountancy giant is awaiting its day at the European Court of Justice against the Dutch Bar, which is expected to come before the beginning of the new year. It is challenging the bar's right to impose the ruling against its Dutch firm Wouters Advocaten & Notarissen.
The report attacks the "unfair restraints" against Andersen Legal, and says "some entrenched law firms and legal cultures have sought to erect barriers to Andersen Legal's success". It suggests that the Dutch Bar sees the network as a threat to Dutch firms.

Kevin Durant is averaging 28.4 points and 7.4 rebounds while Russell Westbrook is averaging 27.6 points and 9.8 assists. Serge Ibaka is grabbing 7.2 rebounds and D.J. Augustin is dishing 2.3 assists. The Oklahoma City Thunder are shooting 36.2 percent from beyond the arc and 78.7 percent from the free throw line. The Thunder are allowing 29.4 percent shooting from deep in their last five games and have won four of their last six when allowing less than 100 points. The Oklahoma City Thunder have won five of their last seven home games.
The Kings are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 0 days rest and 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Northwest. The Thunder are 6-20-1 ATS in their last 27 games playing on 2 days rest and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. The under is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings.
The Kings have either won or lost 11 of their last 13 games by single digits. It's not like the Thunder are playing great right now, and they've been horrible against the spread pretty much all year. I don't have a ton of confidence in the Kings, but I'm not leaving this many points on the table.

Are you being watched? The dangers of unencrypted video conferencing
Posted: 30 Sep 2015 04:56 AM PDT
"If it can be hacked, it will be hacked:" this is the sentiment from the recent 2015 Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas where dozens of presenters identified gaps in the security networks of companies in order to showcase where improvements needed to be made. Of particular interest is a ubiquitous piece of technology that graces many of today's boardrooms, namely the video conferencing system. It was revealed that without the right protections, it was actually a rather simple matter to dial into the system observe meetings as they took place. The potential for malicious use of information obtained utilizing this process is staggering and, as such, shows why a greater level of awareness of the issue as well as the implementation of better methods of protection are needed to counter such a threat.
What Can Hackers Find Out?
In 2012 Wired.com released an article on how two computer experts, Moore and Tuchen, were able to digitally access several boardrooms and meeting areas of not only prominent companies but also those of universities and prisons. The findings of Moore and Tuchen revealed that there are considerable gaps in the way in which companies approach protecting their video conference systems. The largest gap was that they automated the process to allow access outside of their firewalls and also allowed connections to be established automatically without a proper vetting procedure being put in place. While it is true that these methods were implemented to make conferences far easier to connect to, the problem with this process is that it creates the potential for corporate secrets or private information to get out to the general public. This can cost a company millions of dollars due to the how many important decisions are made in conference rooms around the world.
Can You Detect if a Hacker is Watching?
If a person trespasses onto your property you can normally see them doing so and catch them in the act, the same cannot be said if someone were to hack your system. While some older video conferencing systems have a startup procedure that results in the device emitting a few sounds and the camera swiveling around, newer systems have been developed in such a way that such obvious elements of the system being in active use have been eliminated. Not only that, as evidenced by the work of Moore and Tuchen, accessing such systems without being detected is actually quite easy if the hacker in question does not commit any obvious attempts at being found out (i.e. making sounds through the microphone). If the system is lacking encryption, all they would need to do is stay quiet and merely observe the proceedings of a meeting and they are unlikely to be caught. This leads to a situation where a hacker could potentially listen in to all manner of private meetings that would decide the strategy for a company for the next few years. Should this information get out, it could cripple the future plans of the company, especially if the information deals with proprietary product development. Imagine a situation where you can listen in to an Apple conference meeting that will decide the company's future lineup of products, the sheer value of that information alone shows why it would be tempting for hackers to attempt to breach your company's video conferencing system.
Resolving the Issue
While Moore has informed companies like Polycom HDX systems of the issue with the company implementing the necessary fixes to prevent such a problem in the future, the sheer amount of video conference system providers currently in the market today has created the issue of whether or not the system currently being utilized by a company can be easily compromised by an outside attacker. One way of preventing such a problem is to look for companies that protected services such as encrypted video conferencing from Blue jeans. Other potential solutions come in the form of implementing stricter entry procedures for video conference meetings to ensure that only authorized individuals can access the system. A more direct method to resolving the issue would be to simply take the video conferencing system out of the equation altogether by making sure that it is unplugged when not in use. Hackers cannot access a device that is not turned on and connected to the internet.
In Summary
Negligent practices when it comes to protecting what occurs within your company's boardrooms can result in significant losses since any strategy that you develop behind what you deem as "closed doors" may find its way to your corporate rivals. As stated earlier on in this article "If it can be hacked it will be hacked"; however, just because it can be hacked does not mean you should make it easy to do so.

You could read some news stories about a product causing an injury that cause you to worry about the safety of certain products, and other stories that make you wonder what the injured party was thinking. Where is the line drawn between a manufacturer being held responsible for an injury and the consumer being the one at fault? It can help for Schenectady residents to understand the factors that constitute a valid product liability case.
According to the Cornell University Law School's Legal Information Institute, you would need to show that one of three factors occurred in order for a product liability allegation to be considered viable. These include defects in design, manufacturing or marketing.
For example, if you purchased a toy that was later recalled because a spring-loaded mechanism was found to be a projectile hazard, this could be considered a design defect. The toy itself was not broken, but the way it was designed before manufacture ended up posing a danger. On the other hand, you might have bought a folding chair that had a weak spot in one leg, causing it to break. If this defect affected only your chair and not others of the same make, and nothing you did broke the chair, defective manufacturing might be the culprit.
Defective marketing occurs when a product's instructions or warnings are not clearly written in a way that reasonably prevents an injury. Common sense tells you that it is unsafe to plug in a lamp that has a frayed or damaged cord. However, if there is a risk of fire by not using a specific type of light bulb, this information would need to be explained in the instructions, or you would have no way of knowing.
There are many new products that come out on the market every year. Most of them have been tested and proven safe, but some fall through the cracks. When there is a defect in a product you buy, the manufacturer may be held responsible. This information, however, should not take the place of legal advice.

On the Education of the Market Designer
Imagine devising a set of rules for a game such that the dominant strategy of every player is to truthfully reveal their valuations and/or strategies: this is just one of the ambitious goals of mechanism design, the science of rule-making and the most useful branch of game theory. Fifteen years ago, a pioneering paper of Nisam and Ronen (Algorithmic Mechanism Design) merged it with computer science by including the requisite that computations should also be reasonably tractable for every involved player: this created a fruitful field of research that contributed every tool of algorithmics and computational complexity, from combinatorial optimization and linear programming to approximation algorithms and complexity classes.
In practice, Algorithmic Mechanism Design is also behind the successes of the modern Internet economy: every ad-auctions uses it results, like Google's DoubleClick auctions or Yahoo's Auctions, and peer-to-peer networks and network protocols are being designed under its guiding principles. It has also contributed to spectrum auctions and matching markets (kidneys, school choice systems and medical positions) and it has also generated interesting models, like the first one that justifies the optimality of the fee-setting structure of real estate agents, stock brokers and auction houses (see Fee Setting Intermediaries).
Up until a decade ago, the only way to learn this fascinating field of research was by venturing to read papers dispersed between the areas of economics, game theory and computer science, but this changed in 2008 with the publication of the basic textbook of the field, Algorithmic Game Theory, also available online:
Now a bit dated, it has recently been complemented with some great resources:
- The Handbook of Market Design, of which the part I have liked the most is the one on experiments.
- The online courses of Tim Roughgarden, a real master on choosing and presenting the best proofs of this field: Algorithmic Game Theory and Frontiers in Mechanism Design.
- The on-going writing of a more specific book, Mechanism Design and Approximation
And that's enough to begin with: hundred of hours of learning insightful research with fantastic applications!

Heating can be due to excess surface moisture (rain, etc) being trapped inside at baling, or plants being too green (internal moisture) at baling, or a combination of both.
Initial heating occurs because living processes continue for some time after plants are cut. The heat may dissipate within days, depending on the drying or storage conditions, or may continue to rise over a period of weeks.
The degree of heating reached depends on the type of crop, its maturity and moisture content, the density, volume and storage system of the feed, the bacteria and fungi present and the external conditions of atmospheric temperature, humidity and wind.
To minimise the likelihood and danger of hay heating, it should be baled at specific moisture contents.
Due to their large volume-to-surface area, round bales should be baled at a lower moisture content than small rectangular bales. Large rectangular bales should be even drier.
Hay with a moisture content slightly above the suggested levels will usually heat to some extent, then eventually cool to the ambient temperature.
The temperature will rise substantially if hay is baled with moisture contents well above (>3%) the suggested level, particularly the large rectangular bales.
''Dry'' hay that subsequently becomes moist with dew or rain then is stacked into tight confines such as a hay shed before drying will often also heat.
How much will depend on the factors mentioned earlier.
If in doubt, stack the hay bales loosely to allow heat to dissipate.
When hay is stored in a shed, there are often signs that it is heating significantly.
Steam condensation on the steel roof, mould growth on and inside bales, acrid fumes and hot humid air at the top of the stack are indicators of heat generation inside the stack.
Most fires resulting from spontaneous combustion start between two and seven weeks after storage.
For further information, please contact the Southern Rural Fire Authority on 0800-732-732.
Information for this article was obtained from State of Victoria, Department of Primary Industries, Agriculture Notes, February 2006.
• Sally Chesterfield is the Southern Rural Fire Authority's community and education co-ordinator.
Suggested moisture contents (%) for safe storage of various forms of hay:
Moisture content range
• Small rectangular bales: 18-20%
• Round bales: 14-8%
• Large rectangular bales: Under 14%
Guide to judging moisture from the appearance and handling characteristics of hay:
Moisture content/Observation
• 50-60%: Little or no surface moisture, leaves are limp, juice shows on stems or leaves if rubbed or pressed hard.
• 40-50%: No surface moisture, parts of leaves are brittle, moisture may be seen in stems twisted in a bundle, but the hay is still tough.
• 30-40%: Leaves begin to rustle, no show of moisture unless rubbed very hard. Moisture shows in stems scratched with a fingernail or less easily, when twisted in the hands.
• 25-30%: The hay rustles, a bundle twisted in the hands snaps with difficulty, it shows little sign of moistness. Thick stems may show moisture if scraped or split open with a fingernail.
• 20-25%: The hay rustles readily, stems snap when twisted, leaves may shatter. There are few moist stems, nodes or joints are shrivelling. The bark on stems cannot be raised with a fingernail.
• 15-20%: The hay fractures easily. Bundles snap easily when twisted. It is difficult to see any moisture and leaves shatter readily.

Wimbledon doubles champions Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert had to fight hard to defeat Lukas Rosol and Radek Stepanek 6-1 3-6 6-3 4-6 6-4 to give France a 2-1 lead over the Czech Republic in the Davis Cup quarterfinals on Saturday.
A week after beating Julien Benneteau and Edouard Roger-Vasselin in straight sets to clinch their first Wimbledon title, Mahut and Herbert needed five sets on the indoor hard court for a victory that puts France one win away from a Davis Cup semifinal.
Amid increased security following the deadly attack in the French city of Nice, Mahut closed it out with an overhead volley on the first match point in the eastern Czech city of Trinec.
In Sunday's first reverse singles, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga can clinch the best-of-five series with a victory over Jiri Vesely. If he fails, the tie will be decided in the final reverse singles with Rosol facing Lucas Pouille.
On Friday, Rosol prevailed after almost four hours over Tsonga 6-4 3-6 4-6 7-6 (8) 6-4 to put the Czechs 1-0 ahead before Pouille made a victorious Davis Cup debut for France by beating Vesely 7-6 (2) 6-4 7-5 to level the tie at 1-1.
On the Czech pair, Rosol replaced originally named Adam Pavlasek who had a back problem, and struggled with his serve throughout. He was broken in the opening game of the final set in what turned out to be the decisive break.
The French pair didn't waste time, jumping to a 3-0 lead in the first set that Mahut served out with an ace.
The Czechs replied with a 3-0 lead in the second set and Stepanek served it out with a service winner to come back.
Rosol double-faulted to drop his serve in the third set for the Czechs to trail 3-1. They saved two set points at 5-2 before Rosol's return hit the net on the third set point.
In the most dramatic fourth set, Herbert gave the Czechs a chance to tie the set at 4-4 after two straight double faults. The French wasted a break point in the following game and the Czechs took the set when Herbert's volley hit the net.
The winner faces the United States or Croatia in the semifinal in September.
In the last semifinals two years ago, France beat the Czechs before losing to Switzerland in the final. France won the last of its nine cups in 2001. The Czechs won in 2012 and 13.

Social media platform Snapchat can be used for many things like applying for a job at McDonalds or watching new Time Warner programs. At the end of the day, though, like everything else on the internet, it's primarily used for porn.
Unlike so many other social media sites like Facebook and Instagram, Snapchat has no content restrictions, opening up a whole new world for internet perverts like you and me. Probably the saddest thing about Snapchat is that the content's impermanence, but anyone with even a cursory bit of tech know-how can save pics and videos from the platform and enjoy them any old time of the day.
When Al Gore invented the internet, he probably had no idea it would become a porn mecca—especially with his wife Tipper spending her whole life screaming at anyone who'll listen about the children, like some twisted real world version of Helen Lovejoy. Thankfully, people smarter than Al Gore have given us what we really wanted in the first place, and if you're even the slightest bit curious about how to get your hands on more porn than you're currently consuming, I think Snapchat's a great app to investigate. It certainly makes no bones about the fact that, at the end of the day, it's really for porn.

Located near the Derwent Reservoir, it provides excellent facilities for sailing and fishing. This village boasts a fine array of different retail outlets including: The Post Office, Blanchland Stores, Gallery Upstairs, The White Monk Tea Rooms, and Get Ahead Hats.
Blanchland as we see it was formed out of the medieval abbey by Lord Crewe the Bishop of Durham. The Lord Crewe Arms has a vast fireplace where 'General' Tom Forster hid during the 1715 Jacobite rising. The hotel is reputedly haunted by the ghost of his sister, Dorothy.
W. H. Auden stayed at the Lord Crewe Arms with Gabriel Carritt at Easter 1930, and later remarked that no place held sweeter memories. Blanchland may have been the model for the village in which was set the opening and closing scenes of Auden and Isherwood's play The Dog Beneath the Skin (1935).
Another celebrated poet Philip Larkin used to dine at the hotel when staying with Monica Jones in Haydon Bridge. In July 1969, Benjamin Britten and Sir Peter Pears stayed at the Inn.
With a population of 140, its unspoilt qualities make it a frequent setting for period films, set in the 18th century, such as those based on the novels of Catherine Cookson.

The country's cabinet also approved the reappointment of Murray Michell as director of the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) for two years, effective from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2016.
The PIC and the FIC are among fifteen entities that report to the Ministry of Finance through governance arrangements that give them autonomy but also enable them to align their strategies with government policy.
Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene said the FIC and the PIC are very important institutions in South Africa.
"The FIC's mandate is to protect the integrity of South Africa's financial system by ensuring it is safe from abuse by criminals," he said.
"The PIC on the other hand manages funds on behalf of a number of state-related institutions, the largest being the Government Employee Pension Fund (GEPF), a responsibility the PIC has carried out well so far."
Nene described Matjila as strategic thinker who has extensive knowledge of and experience in asset management and investment.
He added that Matjila had also displayed strong management as well as leadership skills and abilities.
Matjila joined the PIC in August 2003 and has been Chief Investment Officer since 2005. The previous CEO of the PIC resigned on 30 May 2014.

Nene commented Murray for the sterling work he has done in building up the FIC into a strong institution that it is today.
Murray has been the FIC's director since it began operations in 2003. Among FIC's responsibilities are to assist in the identification of the proceeds of unlawful activities, combating of money laundering activities and the financing of terrorists and related activities.
The FIC Act also imposes certain duties on institutions and other persons who might be involved in money laundering and financing of terrorist and other related activities.
