Meet the 2017 McCormick Foundation Executive Fellows
The Early Childhood Leadership Academy (ECLA) is a signature initiative of Erikson Institute that provides knowledgeable leaders with dynamic, collective learning experiences to enhance their capacity to influence early childhood policy leading to positive outcomes for young children and their families. Erikson Institute, which houses the nation's premier graduate school in child development, works to ensure that all children have equitable opportunities to reach their potential through education, research, service, and advocacy.
McCormick Foundation Executive Fellows
The objective of the executive-level track is to provide highly influential leaders from multiple sectors with a credible, up-to-date, and research-based understanding of child development. Equipped with this information, leaders can make the most informed decisions about policy setting and resource allocation in their respective fields. The program offers:
- Expert presentations on leading-edge research covering:
- Science of Brain Development and Secure Attachment
- Adverse Childhood Experiences and Toxic Stress
- Early Childhood Systems Building and Coordination
- Demographic Shifts in Illinois Young Child Population
- Recruiting and Retaining a Highly Qualified and Diverse Workforce
- Return on Investing in the Early Years
- Visits to key early childhood settings in Chicago
- Networking opportunities with cross-sector leaders
- On-demand online content
Why nominate an Illinois leader?
Erikson wants to help further the interests of leaders like you or those in your organization, as well as the public. Influential leaders join a collective of change-agents working together across systems and throughout Illinois to advance programs and policies that will positively contribute to the well-being of young children, families, and the prosperity of our State.
What's in it for Illinois Leaders?
Elected Officials
Understanding the research on education and child development will allow you to support policies and fund programs that promote equity and quality for all children and families in the communities you represent.
Heads of State Agencies
Acquiring critical knowledge in child development will help to ensure the effective use of limited public resources for the early childhood and family programs you manage.
Law Enforcement
Understanding the connection between brain development and behavior will empower you to more effectively de-escalate conflict and help ensure children are on a productive path, leading to increased public safety for children and families.
Superintendents and School Board Members
Knowledge about early brain development and how children learn before they enter kindergarten will help to support your goals to enhance student outcomes, better support educators, and achieve academic excellence with limited resources.
Exposure to the current research on childhood trauma and brain development will provide you with a distinct perspective on recidivism and the complex conditions that define the lives of those you serve in the juvenile and family court systems.
Community Leaders
Child well-being is a measure of community health. Learning more about the importance of a strong foundation starting at birth contributes to healthier children, families, and communities.
What are the logistics of the fellowship?
The fellowship will consist of two multi-day sessions that will take place in Chicago, Illinois at Erikson Institute (451 N. LaSalle St.).
- August 9-11, 2017 (Session One)
- Welcoming reception and dinner begin at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 9
- Two full-day seminars on Thursday, August 10 and Friday, August 11, 8:30 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.
- October 11-12, 2017 (Session Two)
- Half-day seminar on Wednesday, October 11, 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
- Full-day seminar on Thursday, October 12, 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
All costs associated with the learning experience, materials, lodging and meals in Chicago, and transportation expenses are generously funded by a gift from the Robert R. McCormick Foundation.
What is the process to nominate a leader?
Nominations submitted online here with the candidate's resume or CV. Selection and notification of 2017 fellows will take place in May 2017 and a formal public announcement will follow in July 2017.

I just got home from spending some time at the beach and I've worked up an appetite! I go straight for the kitchen to make myself a sandwich. While making myself something to eat a get a little gassy and my stomach starts to turn. After I let out a big burp, it hits me! I try to ignore it and maybe it will go away… It does not! It goes right into my bathing suit! I feel a little embarrassed and ashamed. I can't help but take a big whiff off the disaster that I just created. The smell is intriguing… I go to clean it up but I have to admit the smell left me wanting more!

Virginia Police Excessive Force Attorney
Police misconduct is an issue that has made headlines in recent years. The popularity of social media has made it possible for the public to witness the horrific injuries and deaths that can occur when law enforcement officers abuse their authority. Far from simply being a political tool or a talking point, police misconduct is something that affects the lives of real people and their families. Just because you have been accused of a crime, or the police suspect you have committed one, does not mean you deserve to be physically attacked, manhandled, injured, or killed.
At Hilton & Somer, LLC, we help individuals and families whose lives have been tragically touched by police misconduct. For every case that makes the news, there are countless others that go unnoticed. We are fierce advocates for the clients we serve, and we do not rest until they get the justice and compensation they deserve.
Your Civil Rights Are Important. We Help You Protect Them.
You hear a lot about civil rights — so much so that they tend to become an abstract concept for many people. However, civil rights are more than just words on a page or something you learned about in your high school social studies class. The federal and state constitutions guarantee every American certain fundamental rights, including:
- The Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures of your person or your property.
- The First Amendment right to freedom of expression.
- The right to Due Process, which gives you the right to be treated fairly in any dealings with the justice system.
The police are permitted to use reasonable force to restrain someone, but only when it's necessary. When they step over the line, their negligence can get people hurt or killed. This is never okay, and our lawyers stand up for individuals who have been injured by police officers. We also assist families grieving the loss of a loved one wrongfully killed by a police officer.
When the police use excessive force to restrain someone, or they force an individual to submit to an invasive and unnecessary search, the law holds them accountable for their misconduct. In many cases, victims of police misconduct suffer with mental stress and emotional trauma long after their physical injuries have healed. It's common for victims of police misdeeds to develop a lifelong mistrust of law enforcement and even other types of first responders. In these types of cases, the psychological scars usually run deep.
Get the Compensation You Deserve
Our police misconduct lawyers help people in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. We have wide-ranging experience in this area of law, and we have assisted clients in the following types of cases:
- Police brutality
- Excessive force
- Improper use of tasers
- Police shootings
- False arrest
- Sexual assault
- Improper searches
- Physical violence
- Injuries caused by police dogs
- Injuries caused by accidents involving police vehicles
If you have been the victim of police misconduct, you may be entitled to money compensation for your injuries and other losses, regardless of whether you have been charged with a criminal offense or convicted of a crime.
Hilton & Somer, LLC: Virginia, Maryland & D.C. Police Misconduct Lawyers
Don't wait to speak to an experienced personal injury lawyer about your case. Police misconduct cases are sensitive matters that require the help of a skilled attorney. Call the Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. police misconduct lawyers at Hilton & Somer, LLC today to receive your free consultation. You can reach us through our online contact form, or by calling 703-560-0700.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — About three dozen graduate students of a variety of faiths attended the Yale "Moveable Feast" at the New Haven LDS Institute of Religion in March.
The multifaith event allows Yale graduate students to gather and discuss religion regardless of their beliefs. The discussion for this feast, cohosted by the Yale chaplain's office, was centered on "Faith and Hope in Times of Tragedy" and included several prompt questions.
The questions included the following: "What does your faith tradition offer in times of tragedy? Comfort, challenge, hope, resources?"; "As a person of faith, what were your initial reactions to the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan?"; "What are some of the things your tradition says about the existence of tragedy and/or suffering?"
While the group shared thoughts on the various prompts, everyone was surprised to learn what the religions have in common.
"The interfaith dinner was a refreshing reminder of the love and caring that all religious traditions inherently espouse," said Jeremy Talmage, an institute student studying at the Yale Divinity School. "I walked away from this ecumenical experience endowed with powerful insights into how other faiths cope when tragedy strikes and a strengthened appreciation for the unique teachings of Mormonism."
LDS full-time missionaries also attended and helped give tours of the building. One of the highlights of the tours was the opportunity to explain the building's First Vision artwork to an inquiring student.1 comment on this story
"I love working and serving and talking and learning with people of other faiths. It's counterintuitive, but being surrounded by such diversity opens my eyes to how much common ground we have and how we are all literally children of God," said Krysta Title, a Yale institute student. "I am faced with a lot of stress and pressures right now — I'm graduating with my master's degree in two months — and participating in this interfaith dinner was refreshing and rejuvenating — a feeling I experience in few other settings."
The previous two events this semester were at the Hall of Graduate Students and the Slifka Center.
Valerie Ramos is a support specialist at the New Haven Institute of Religion, and Elder and Sister Johnson are New Haven Institute of Religion missionaries.

Kaneohe, Hawaii (PressExposure) April 08, 2011 -- When it comes to dental injections, both Dr. Bruce Keller and Dr. Cynthia Ichiriu Keller have long been known as, "painless as it gets." However, to make their injections virtually pain free, the doctors have now added the use of STA, a sophisticated computer anesthetic delivery system. For patients who dread "the shot", this new method eliminates the fear of needles and the pain of injections.
According to Dr. Bruce Keller, "We have completely changed the game for so many of our patients. Finally, we have removed fear of the needle as an obstacle to dental treatment. White knuckles are a thing of the past. Patients don't even notice that we have made them numb!" Dr Cynthia Ichiriu Keller says, "Our patients especially appreciate that they don't leave our office with that annoying and debilitating numb lip and face that sometimes lasts for hours. STA allows us to precisely confine the numbness to just a single tooth so patients can go to work or school, no problem. A patient of mine is a politician. He had an important speech scheduled immediately after his appointment. I'm not sure how the speech went, but at least he was able to speak clearly!"
Milestone Scientific provides the STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System® that combines patented, state-of-the-art computer-controlled injection technology with the dentist's training to achieve more precise injections, improved drug delivery, and enhanced patient comfort levels. According to Milestone Scientific, it is estimated that nearly 50% of the U.S. population, alone, experience some anxiety when visiting the dentist. Moreover, 40 million Americans are termed "dental phobics," persons with such severe anxiety that they avoid dental care altogether. In fact, nearly 25% of all dental appointments are cancelled because of this phobia.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
A California man leaves his 9-month-old baby daughter in the car alone at a strip club parking lot.
Just when you thought Antonio Cromartie having trouble remembering his kids names was bad. There's a new contender to the bad daddy throne. Auwin Dargin, 24, left his 9-month-old baby alone in the car at a strip club parking lot. Please take a moment to allow that information to sink in. You still with me? Good.
The California resident visited Synn Gentlemen's Club in North Hills, where staff noticed some odd behavior. Dargin would leave the club every 15 minutes only to return shortly after. The club's assistant manager Matthew Nadeau became curious and decided to go out into the parking lot to see what Dargin was up to.
Much to his shock Nadeau found a 9-month-old baby locked in a car. Nadeau, assisted by employees from a neighboring business, were able to free the crying child from the car.
The child was agitated and warm, and she was given water by the club's wait staff. Shortly after, the club's manager grabbed a hold of the child's father in the middle of a lap dance… in the middle of a lap dance! When confronted about the situation, Dargin was quoted as saying "Just give me my baby and I know I am messing up," a demand which the club staff refused.
Dargin would then flee the club without his daughter. Authorities apprehended the 24-year-old on his way off the premises. He now stands charged with child abuse and could face up to six years in state prison, where the likelihood of lap dance is remote.

I would go with the 550. It's a very good card and slightly better than the other 2. Also works very well in sli.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
I'd go with the GTX 550 ti because the only advantage the GTX 650 has on it is that it has about double the CUDA cores and it is slightly cheaper. If you were to go for a graphics card you didn't list, I'd say Radeon 6870. It out preforms all the graphics cards you listed and only costs marginally more.

thats not true GTX650 has around same performance as 550ti but uses much less energy its TDP is only 64W, and 550ti 116W.. (as GTX650 is fairly new there may be some performance increase with driver optimizations) if you like to go with nvidia maybe you should wait for GTX650ti version (release date is sometime next month i think).
but radeon HD7770 in most cases is faster than 550ti and 650 you decide.
some charts for 550ti, 650 and 7770
or this but does not include 550ti

changed my card from GTS450 to GTX650 im happy that my pc now uses around 20 W less on desktop and 50W less game load. and its more silent and better cooled.
if I have to choose between 550ti and 650 I would go for 650.. you will lose like 5% performance but use around 50% less energy.

- Category: Audio & Electronic Retail Stores
Merimobiles.com Merimobiles has dishonest, disorganized, and lazy customer service. Buyer Beware! Quebec, Internet
*Author of original report: Merimobiles Fixed my Problem
Anyways, Merimobiles has a history of answering these complaints by pretending to be happy customers rather than actually trying to solve the problem of their customer. ...Like they did at the site below.
Here is my basic complaint.
1.) They make it difficult to return and track packages for warranty service. They
intentionally make if difficult, if not impossible, to track your packages sent
from the US. Their Return Mercandise Approval form expressly forbids use of UPS, Fedex, DHL, or any shipping service. (see RMA file attached). I, therefore, sent my package via the
highest possible USPS quality of Priority Mail. I asked about tracking the
package, or paying extra to track it, and USPS said they can't track
international packages. [continued below]....
mail system and lose track of it. So I am justifiably pissed that my package
was "lost" because I can't prove otherwise due to MM's own rules.
2.) They Don't Follow through on their promises They broke three separate
promises to me. First, they promised to "elevate" my case for
a special decision and get back to me in 48 hours. Since I had already
purchased a replacement phone from them, I was asking them to refund the
cost of the original phone that was "lost" in the mail. They never
got back to me. Second, they promised on two separate phone calls to
send me a charging cable for my replacement phone since it broke under
warranty. They never sent the charging cable. Third, they promised to
get back to me within 24 hours after going through all their packages to do a
thorough search for it. They never got back to me.
3.) Every time I needed support, I needed to start from scratch. They do
not seemed to have a record of any previous conversations, complaints, or promises.
This was VERY FRUSTRATING. And I was always dealing with a new person.
Crazy thought...how about you improve your customer service rather than
shilling on the internet and pretending to be happy customers. Then I would be
happy to recommend your company to friends and family like I used to.

Merimobiles Fixed my Problem
AUTHOR: isurewould - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Monday, October 15, 2012POSTED: Monday, October 15, 2012
In the interest of fairness, here is the email that they sent me below. They offered some apologies, and some explanations for my grievances.
first thank you for getting back to me I though I would simply not be able to find you:)Regarding the cable I do have here that we have the team sent one, from what I get you never got it though, we do have some of these cables in our office in Canada I will have one sent to you from Canada tomorrow. Just confirm its OTG cable correct...
-Regarding the lost package issue I need to clarify something. There is a reason we instruct people not to use FEDEX or UPS , on most occasion the package gets blocks in China at the customs, and this is why we instruct people to ship by USPS. USPS regular mail has the tracking number option, which costs more for the sender and of course we prefer the package shipped with a tracking number however due to the cost we understand that people are ok to send with regular mail. The fact is a majority of our customers are in the USA and 99.99% of return packages are received, we get returns everyday.
-1 Thing at Merimobiles that I am proud to say is whatever the situation is we do not let our people (customers) down. Your situation should have been handled better by our staff, that I admit. However 1 thing is we cannot refund a package that we did not get back , we always offer an alternative, it happen so far with a few customers and we did not let them down.
-Good News is that we have a returned package here an X18i, there is no address on it, wheter its yours or that of someone else I do not know but that is sufficient to close this case and if you give me your paypal account email I will send you the refund for that first phone you have sent back.
Our goal in entering this market was to offer a real alternative in terms of customers service in comparaison to alot of chinese websites and if you give us the chance to serve you again in the future we would like to offer you 10% off on any product on the store for the inconvenience.
On behalf of Janey and Jay who are great people and the rest of the Merimobiles Team we offer our sincere apologies. Waiting for your reply
Best Regards
CarloMerimobiles Service Team Manager, Billing Department
P.S... We do not engage in posting fake reviews we do not need too, we have good and bad reviews out there and they speak for themselves
final email
Hi ok let me send the payment
Regarding the Cable we do not have this type in Canada, if you can purchase it at Walmart we will simply pay for it and this way you will also get it faster. (I can send to your paypal account)
Regarding USPS , a majority of our customers are in the USA, usually you get some sort of tracking number or confirmation number that can be at least confirm delivery, its never been a problem.
Warranty repairs has to be sent back the manufacturer in China, sending it to Canada it can also happen that the package gets lots, its happened already..
I checked the conversation, at the time the Rep could not refund as there was no return package that they had received from you.
Waiting for you reply, I have sent the payment for the refund and also for the cable
thank you

What All Have Alabama's Seniors Accomplished During Their Years at The Capstone?
Let me first preface this by stating this fact based opinion: this is the greatest senior class in college football history. I can't think of another class, in any sport for that matter, who have accomplished more as a cumulative group than the seniors who will be recognized this Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Although hemorrhoids can be unpleasant and painful, they are easily treated and very preventable. As hemorrhoids generally get worse over time, doctors suggest that they should be treated as soon as they appear.
Contents of this article:
Here are some key points about hemorrhoids. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.
- women are more likely to get hemorrhoids while pregnant
- the likelihood of developing hemorrhoids increases as a person ages
- hemorrhoids occur when the veins surrounding the anus are engorged or dilated (enlarged)
- sometimes medicines and surgery are needed to treat hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids causes
When the veins around the anus or in the rectum are dilated (enlarged) or engorged with blood, the patient has hemorrhoids.
They can occur for the following reasons:
- Pregnancy - they occur more commonly in pregnant women because, as the uterus enlarges, it presses on the vein in the colon, causing it to bulge.
- Aging - hemorrhoids are most common among adults aged 45-65. This does not mean, however, that young people and children do not get them.
- Diarrhea - especially when chronic.
- Chronic constipation - straining to move stool puts additional pressure on the blood vessels' walls.
- Sitting - for long periods (especially on the toilet).
- Lifting - especially heavy objects repeatedly.
- Anal intercourse - which can cause hemorrhoids or worsen existing ones.
- Obesity - often dietary related, such as not following a high-fiber diet.
- Genetics - some people inherit a tendency to develop hemorrhoids.
Common symptoms of hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids can be either internal or external.
Symptoms of hemorrhoids often include:
- Painless bleeding - the patient may notice bright red on the toilet paper or in the toilet bowl.
- Itching - or irritation in the anal area.
- Discomfort - pain or soreness in the anal region.
- Lumps - protruding from the anal region.
- Swelling - in the anal region.
- Feces - may leak out unintentionally.
Symptoms can be unpleasant or alarming but they are usually not a cause for concern.
Hemorrhoid types
Hemorrhoids can be either internal or external:
Internal hemorrhoids
Internal hemorrhoids are deep inside the rectum and not visible from outside. They are normally painless. Often, the first sign that internal hemorrhoids are present is rectal bleeding.
Straining can sometimes push an internal hemorrhoid so that it protrudes through the anus, this is called a protruding or prolapsed hemorrhoid and can be painful.
External hemorrhoids
External hemorrhoids are under the skin around the anus and are therefore visible. Because there are more sensitive nerves in this part of the body, they are normally more painful. Straining when passing a stool may cause them to bleed.
Hemorrhoids diagnosis
Anyone experiencing the symptoms outlined above should contact a doctor. Bear in mind that other things, including colorectal and anal cancers, can cause rectal bleeding. It might be a mistake to assume that anal bleeding is simply the result of hemorrhoids and, because of this, decide not to see a doctor.
A doctor can carry out a physical examination and perform other tests to determine whether or not hemorrhoids are present. These tests may include a digital rectal exam - a manual inspection by the doctor using a gloved, lubricated finger.
If symptoms include significant amounts of bleeding, dizziness, and a fainting sensation, the individual should seek emergency care immediately.
Treatments for hemorrhoids
In the majority of cases, simple measures will alleviate symptoms while the problem gets better on its own. However, medicines and even surgery may sometimes be needed.
Hemorrhoid home treatments
Specialist ultrasonic device for hemorrhoid surgery.
Symptoms can be relieved in the following ways. However, they will not eliminate the hemorrhoids:
- Topical creams and ointments - over the counter (OTC) creams or suppositories, which contain hydrocortisone, are available; there are also pads which contain witch hazel, or a topical numbing agent.
- Ice packs and cold compresses - applying these to the affected area may help with the swelling.
- Sitz bath using warm water - the sitz bath is placed over the toilet. Some pharmacies sell them. These may relieve the burning or itching symptoms.
- Moist towelettes - dry toilet paper may aggravate the problem.
- Analgesics - some painkillers, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen (Tylenol) may alleviate the pain and discomfort.
Hemorrhoid medicines
Most hemorrhoid medicines are OTC; they include ointments, pads, or suppositories. Such active ingredients as hydrocortisone and witch hazel are known to relieve itching and pain. If these medicines are ineffective after a week of treatment, you should consult with your doctor.
Nonsurgical Treatment Options
The most common type of nonsurgical hemorrhoid removal technique is rubber band ligation. This is an office procedure for internal hemorrhoids, where an elastic band is placed on the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off blood supply. The hemorrhoid will either shrink or fall off.
Another procedure is sclerotherapy, where a solution is injected into an internal hemorrhoid, producing a scar that cuts off blood supply to the hemorrhoid.
Infrared photocoagulation and electrocoagulation are two other options.
Surgical options
Surgery may involve a hemorrhoidectomy (complete removal of the hemorrhoids) or stapling, where a prolapsed hemorrhoid is tacked back into place. These procedures are performed under general anesthesia, and most patients can go home on the same day as the surgery.
Preventing hemorrhoids
If a patient's stools are always soft, the chance of developing hemorrhoids is greatly reduced. The risk of hemorrhoids can be reduced in the following ways:
- Nutrition - eating plenty of foods rich in fiber, such as fruits and vegetables, as well as whole grains, means stools will nearly always be soft. Similarly, drinking plenty of fluids helps keep stools soft (this does not include alcohol). Over the counter fiber supplements also ease constipation.
- Straining - when using the toilet, try not to strain, this creates pressure in the veins in the lower rectum.
- Go when needed - people should not wait if they need to use the toilet. The longer the wait, the drier the stools will be.
- Physical activity - sitting or standing still for long periods puts pressure on the veins. Physical activity also helps stool move through the bowel, so bowel movements are more regular.
- Keep body weight down - being overweight significantly raise a person's risk of having hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoid prognosis and complications
In general, hemorrhoids are treated successfully and without complication, especially if treatment starts early. Although rare, the following complications can arise:
- Strangulated hemorrhoid - if blood supply to the hemorrhoid is cut off, it may become strangulated. This can cause significant pain.
- Anemia - if there is significant, chronic blood loss from the hemorrhoids, anemia (inadequate red blood cell levels) can occur.
- Blood clots - sometimes, blood may accumulate and form a thrombus (clot), which can be painful; the area will swell and become inflamed.

Helicity Dynamics
University of Maryland | Department of Physics
Abstract: Helicity is a conserved quantity that arises in ideal fluid flows and ideal magnetohydrodynamic magnetic fields. I will first review the background theory of Helicity in those two cases, a famous paper by Finn and Antonsen, and another by Keith Moffatt. I will follow by covering some basic phenomenology of quantized vortices, reconnection, and Kelvin waves, and background of our visualization studies in superfluid helium. These topics lead into a discussion of what has been done, what we know, and what is predicted about Helicity dynamics. Some observations about the untangling of vortices via reconnection lead to predictions regarding the Helicity we are exploring experimentally. Some puzzles and questions about the role of invariants like the Helicity in the Gross-Pitaevskii (nonlinear Schrodinger) equation play a role in thinking about this phenomenon.

Toward a theory of reservoir computing prediction
Brian Hunt and Zhixin Lu
University of Maryland | Department of Mathematics and University of Maryland | IREAP
Abstract: We consider the problem of predicting a chaotic time series from a system whose equations of motion are unknown. We use a machine-learning technique called reservoir computing, which we find is often able to learn the dynamics of the system that generated the time series, in the following sense. In addition to making accurate short-term predictions, the reservoir predictor can generate a long-term "climate" forecast that stays close to the attractor of the actual system. We give examples, and we discuss a preliminary theory relating reservoir predictor performance to Lyapunov exponents and generalized synchronization in an associated dynamical system.

Flames, Fire Whirls, and Blue Whirls: What more can there be?
University of Maryland | Department of Aerospace Engineering
Abstract: As we were investigating the efficiency of fire-whirl burning on water, we observed the usual transformation of a pool fire to a fire whirl, and then suddenly, we saw the fire undergo a third transition. A blue cup appeared around the base of the fire whirl, surrounding the yellow flame, the yellow flame receded into the cup and finally disappeared. What remained was a small, rapidly spinning blue flame that burned until the fuel on the water was consumed. The blue whirl was shaped like a spinning cup, closed at the bottom near the water surface, and spreading in radius moving upwards towards the rim. Above the blue cup lip, there was a purple cone-shaped mist. The fuel initially used was n-heptane, but now it has been varied and includes crude oil, and still the blue whirl formed naturally. The height of the fire whirl on the laboratory pan was larger than a half meter, and this evolved into a blue whirl about 4–8 cm high. Occasionally the blue whirl would become "unstable" and revert to a transitional state of blue cup holding a yellow flame. When the blue whirl formed, turbulence seemed to disappear, and the flame became quiet. Videos of the experiments are used to show how this happened and discuss the evolution of the fire whirl to the blue whirl in vortex-breakdown concepts.

Some Adjoint Methods in Physics and Engineering or How the solution to not my problem just might be the answer to your problem
University of Maryland | Department of Physics
Abstract: Physicists and engineers frequently encounter situations where calculations of the governing equations of a system of interest appear to need to be repeated many times to describe or optimize the system. It is often the case that only a particular state dependent quantity or metric needs to be determined. In this case a computational savings can be achieved if an "adjoint problem" can be found that produces the desired information without requiring multiple computations. A simple example is the design of a receiving antenna. One wishes to know and optimize the signal received as a function of the incident angle and polarization of incoming waves. It might appear that solution of Maxwell's field equations would have to be repeated for each possible incident direction and polarization. However, due to the reciprocal property of the governing equations, the desired information is obtained by treating the antenna as a transmitter and calculating the far field radiation pattern. Thus, one computation replaces many. In this talk I will review some problems from the area of charged particle dynamics where adjoint methods have proven useful. A new example is the optimization of electron beam optics in beam sources used in microwave and millimeter wave amplifiers.

Why Have Network Modulation of Sensory Cortex that Causes Variability to Sensory Processing?
University of Maryland | Department of Biology
Abstract: A fundamental goal in brain research is to understand how electrical activity of individual neurons represents information relevant for brain function. This is most often studied in sensory systems, where neural activity can be directly related to sensory stimuli that can be experimentally controlled. However, recordings in awake animals can reveal an enormous amount to variability — that is, different responses to the same stimuli. Such variability has traditionally been characterized as noise that imposes limits on sensory processing. However, with experimental technology allowing for access to large amounts of simultaneously recorded neurons, it is becoming clear that this noise is shared and purposeful, and likely relates to a larger view of the function of sensory cortex. My lab has been developing new methods for analyzing population activity (and its dynamics) to infer what information is being represented by this variability, and how it relates to the larger functions of sensory cortex. This points to a picture where sensory processing does not occur in a vacuum, but is implicitly tied to the behavioral and motivational context of the animal.

Chaotic Dynamics in the Physical Sciences
University of Maryland | Department of Electrical Engineering and Department of Physics
Ed Ott will be the recipient of the 2017 Lewis Fry Richardson Medal from The European Geosciences Union (E.G.U.). In connection with this award, he will give a lecture at the annual E.G.U. Assembly in Vienna, Austria, later this month. This Applied Dynamics Seminar will be a preview of his talk in Vienna.
Abstract: Chaos was discovered at the end of the 19th century by Poincare in his famous work on the motion of N>2 celestial bodies interacting through gravitational attraction. Although steady progress was made by mathematicians following Poincare's work, the widespread impact and development of chaos in the physical sciences is comparatively recent, i.e., approximately starting in the 1970's. This talk will review and comment on this history and will give some examples illustrating the types of questions, problems and results arising from perspectives resulting from the widespread participation of physical scientists in chaos research.

Multi Chaos: A low dimensional Paradigm for higher-dimensional chaos
University of Maryland | Department of Mathematics
Abstract: The most frequently studied dynamical systems are low dimensional and all the periodic orbits in a chaotic set have the same number of unstable dimensions, but this property seems to fail in high dimensional systems. In this paper, we define a property called ``multi-chaos'', in which, along with the usual properties of chaos, there is a dense set of k-dimensionally unstable periodic orbits, and this holds for more than one k. We provide examples including a piecewise linear generalized Baker map.

Dynamics of Granular Clogging
University of Pennsylvania | Department of Physics
Abstract: The gravity-driven flow of grains from a hole in a hopper is an iconic granular phenomenon. It's different from a fluid in that the rate is constant also in that it can suddenly and unexpectedly clog. How does the the susceptibility to clogging decrease with increasing hole size, and is there a well-defined clogging transition above which the system never clogs? This problem is distinct from jamming due to presence of boundaries and gradients. We show how the fraction F of flow configurations that cause a clog may be deduced from the average mass discharged between clogs. We construct a simple model to account for the observation that F decays exponentially in hole width to the power of dimensionality. Thus the clogging transition is not sharp but rather is defined by observation limits similar to the glass transition. When the system is immersed in water, F barely changes. Therefore, the crucial microscopic variables are the grain positions; grain momenta play only a secondary role in destabilizing weak incipient arches. There is also a surprising effect whereby the discharge causes water to be pumped downwards, faster than the grains.

Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos and Complex Systems: a Historical Perspective
Universidad Rey Juan Carlos | Department of Physics
Abstract: "When we talk about dynamics, we do not only understand the motion of celestial bodies and solid mechanical systems, but any changes with respect to time of one or more variables. From that point of view, we can find dynamics everywhere, in any field of science. Thus, now we have a more general vision, including stock market movements and economic variables, concentration changes in chemical reactions, changes in physiological, biological and medical variables, action potentials of neurons, etc ... providing a more interdisciplinary perspective. The various interactions between the constituent parts of a physical system and their feedback mechanisms, are a source of nonlinearity and complexity, which added to the sensitivity dependence to initial conditions which is a hallmark of chaotic behavior, constitutes a change of perspective in dynamical systems with important consequences for the understanding of science. I will give a historical perspective of Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos Theory and Complex Systems, including some of the different sources that have contributed to the construction of the discipline as we know it today. Among them, the three-body problem in celestial mechanics, turbulence in fluid dynamics, irreversibility and fundamentals of statistical physics and the logistic map and population dynamics in biology. Many schools of mathematics and physics have played an essential role in the historical development of the subject, including the French, Russian, Japanese and American school. The knowledge of this historical perspective allows us to understand the breadth of the discipline itself and the multiple interdisciplinary applications to various fields of science. "

Non-Monotonic Aging and Memory Retention in Disordered Mechanical Systems
Harvard University | Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Abstract: From materials such as polymers and glass to properties of interfaces leading to friction and even earthquakes, many disordered systems exhibit a similar repertoire of far-from-equilibrium behaviors such as non-exponential relaxations, aging and memory effects. Yet, in spite of numerous studies of these recurring motifs, identifying the mechanisms underlying the unusual dynamics of disordered systems remains a challenge. I will describe the observation of slow relaxations, aging and memory effects - hallmarks of glassy dynamics – in two disordered mechanical systems: crumpled thin sheets and elastic foams. In particular, I'll report the observation of a non-monotonic aging response that can last many hours. I will then describe ongoing experiments that exploit the macroscopic nature of these systems to try and uncover the underlying mechanisms. The experimental results are in good agreement with a theoretical model recently used to describe observations of monotonic aging in several glassy systems. This suggests not only a general mechanism, but also that the non-monotonic behavior we observe may be generic and that a-thermal systems can show genuine glassy behavior.

Dynamics of Rewired Networks
Indian Institute of Science Education and Research
Abstract: We will show how spatio-temporal chaos in networks with strongly chaotic nodal dynamics can be tamed by dynamically changing links. Specifically, we will illustrate the results in examples ranging from neuronal networks to disease spreading models. Further we will show how random links can prevent blow-ups in coupled nonlinear systems suffering from unbounded growth.

Topological methods for analyzing two dimensional flows
Kyoto University of Education | Department of Mathematics
Abstract: We introduce tree representations of two dimensional flows. Applying the topological methods to an evolution of an incompressible and viscid flow around an inclined flat plate placed in a uniform flow, we can estimate when the lift-to-drag ratios of the plate are maximal and can determine transient streamline patterns between structurally stable streamline patterns. Moreover, we state the possibilities of analyzing ocean phenomena and medical phenomena. Finally, we discuss low-dimensional dynamical systems which are theoretical backgrounds of the methods.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II met Sultan Qaboos on Friday during a visit to Muscat marking the 40th anniversary of his rule, on her second and final leg of a Gulf tour.
Dressed in light pink with a white bag, gloves and shoes, the 84-year-old monarch who arrived from a two-day visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was accompanied by her husband, Prince Philip, to the sultan's Al-Alam Palace.
Omani artillery fired a 21-gun salute to the queen upon her arrival at the palace, Oman's official ONA news agency reported,
The sultan, the queen and Prince Philip discussed "the historical relations binding the two friendly countries (and) aspects of the existing close cooperation between the two sides in all fields," it said.
The visit "is an opportunity to celebrate our thriving relationship" with Oman "which has been transformed since her Majesty last visited in 1979 ... and to look forward to even stronger ties," British Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement posted on the embassy's website.
"The new British government recognises that the Middle East is a region of great opportunity and promise, despite facing some considerable challenges that we are working to address with our partners in the region," said Hague, who also accompanied the queen on the Gulf tour.
"This ... explains why we have set out to elevate our links with Oman and our other important partners in the Gulf."
He said that Britain wanted to boost cooperation in trade, education, energy security, defence and foreign policy with the Arab countries of the oil-rich Gulf.
Oman has a history of close economic and military relations with Britain.
During the UAE visit, Hague signed a number of agreements with his Emirati counterpart Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahayan, including an accord on "civil nuclear cooperation," the Emirati state news agency WAM said Thursday.

Mainstream Sites Or Accessible Solutions
Recently I wrote about Accessible Twitter and an accessible CAPTCHA solution. Both solutions were developed because a mainstream application is not accessible for people with disabilities, so people stepped up to come up with a quick solution. In case of Twitter, a site was developed to provide people with disabilities with a more accessible browsing experience. In case of the CAPTCHA, a solution was developed because many web sites offer an image verification system which is not accessible. The question is if it is a good idea to approach accessibility from the back door with such solutions.
Without a doubt, these, and similar solutions offer a way for people with disabilities a remedy to be able to instantly access functionality and information on the internet. Those people and companies who work on such solutions make life easier to millions, and they should be recognized for their efforts.
However, this also sends a message to application developers that they don't need to worry much about accessibility, due to the frustration of millions, somebody will step up, and create something which will eliminate the accessibility barrier. With solutions like Accessible Twitter, or a human aided CAPTCHA solutions, they are essentially off the hook, and can continue their inaccessible coding and design practices.
So, theoretically, it would be a more compelling argument to say that as long as such solutions do not exist, if web sites want to have 20 percent more visitors, users and potential customers, they should be responsible for making their sites accessible.
But what happens to those, who in the meantime are not able to participate? Those, for example, who are not able to pass the image verification, thus cannot use a social networking site which would make their work easier? They will become less productive, and essentially be deprived of services which are, on paper, available to all. They don't even have a fair chance that these inaccessibility problems will be fixed in the relatively near future. Let alone, at all.
The question is really hanging in the air, there isn't a good solution. For a long-term solution, I would recommend holding off with the accessible solutions, and put pressure on developers to make their products accessible to all. But for all practical purposes, it doesn't work. At this age, we cannot say that something will be available sometime, maybe in years. We need to step up, and allow access for people with disabilities as soon as possible. In practice, I do support sites like Accessible Twitter, and solutions like a human aided CAPTCHA.

In this day and age, ensuring
In this day and age, ensuring accessibility is not that difficult, esp if you are using standards compliant xhtml/css. And, making a site accessible is no longer just about disability

Accessible alternatives for social networking
I think we have to do both - support and encourage accessible 'workarounds' such as Accessible Twitter as a short-term solution, but also put pressure on developers to build accessibility into their products. They have a moral duty to do this, and the more noise we can make about it, the greater that pressure will become. It also makes good business sense - if users are being driven to accessible alternatives, you'll lose out on advertising revenue. Accessible Twitter has realised the potential there, if their banner ads are anything to go by!

Interesting - but......
Hi Tom
Interesting read and a simple and logical thought process; but you have missed (may be omitted) one small (may be not) argument. People like Denis - Accessible Twitter et al. do great work and actually show 'the big boys' a thing or two.
The internet is such a large place where even the 'small boys' can make a big difference. The more difference they make the greater the chance they may become a 'big boy' - or be invited to work with a 'big boy'.
The more developers of accessible web sites and applications there are the better. As we have discussed what we all need to do is make sure that more people know about applications such as Accessible Twitter and the human aided CAPTCHA. The more people who know about them the more chance there is that people will use them.
Likewise on the internet the more people (designers & developers) we can influence to follow decent accessability guidelines the better.
As we all know customers vote with 'their feet'. We all know someone who has some form of disability that requires some form of assitive technology. - (my last statistics were 1 in 25% of us). That's a lot of people. We need to galvanise them into action.
As you know I am willing to help in anyway I can, perhaps we can persuade some others.
Keep up the good work and keep those thought provoking arguments comming.

Reply to David
I agree. And some developers still don't put much effort into it. However, I also meet many companies who have never really heard about accessibility, and they are excited to implement it. One of the key issues will be education here. It would be nice if all web design/development courses would talk about accessibility by default.

I agree, we need some noise, of course, not in its traditional sense. It seems that there aren't enough web sites talking about accessibility, I'm always happy when a new one emerges.

Reply to Russell
I agree, and from my part it was intentional, Dennis would deserve a separate article, For that matter, I wrote about Accessible Twitter a couple of months ago. He does not only provide an accessible solution, but a great way to exhibit how to do it. And definitely, it is not only Dennis, many other people and companies are doing great work.

proactive better
Great points and interesting argument. At the end of the day, I feel that it's better to be proactive and create the accessible versions of poorly coded web 2.0 sites. It's better than not having them at all. I think governments really need to step in, not only with law requiring accessibility, but *enforcing* the law. Also, it's just unfortunate that companies and developers just don't care about web accessibility in general.

Accessible champion?
I have read the comments - todate - with pleasure and interest.
I know we have 'touched' on this but seems to me we are all looking for a "champion". Someone who we can all rally round and support and who in turn can give us (people who want accessibility etc) that support.
I fear too many of us are working "in the dark" we know about similar people and we applaud their efforts - however small or big - but we may not know them personally, we just know of their work. What I think we really need is a global push with a 'spearhead' person. That way we can all work towards the same goal based on a common denominator and everybody can benefit.
By that I mean there are people like me, who are passionate about accessibility, but I live on a Greek island in a village with less than 400 inhbitants. Do they care about accessibility - (with a few exceptions less than 5 digits) - no. Do they beleive in accessibility - yes as long as it isn't called accessibility and they can understand what you are telling them.
Have a look at the website section of http://www.99designs.com and see hown many briefs mention accessibility - none - and look at the designs that designers are comming up with. Very few (if any) could be thought of as accessible. Obviously uncoded difficult to see, but just the use of colours is enough.
We need a champion, we also need a good network (yes I know a number exist) but one that the likes of me (a small developer designer) can be part of without feeling that are not big enough to get involved.
Ohh had my say

Thanks and more
Thank you all for the kind words. I hope Twitter and other popular web apps consider accessibility much more seriously.

|Try to remember me kindly... if you will. Take care of Ponyo.
Fujimoto is the father of Ponyo and the husband of Granmamare in Ponyo. Despite being the antagonist, he expresses his intentions are only in his daughter's best interest, so he isn't really a villain. Fujimoto was voiced by Joji Tokoro in the Japanese and Liam Neeson in the English version.
Fujimoto is presumably slender 40 years old, but he may have lived much longer. He claims he was once human, which implies he went under some changes. This may be a clue as to why he has strange, bird-like markings on his cheekbones and under his eyes.
He has long red hair like Granmamare and his daughters, with light green eyes. He wears a very strange cerulean and white-striped suit with a wide magenta tie.
When upon land, he uses a contraption he explains is a humidifier, to wet the ground with sea water as he is walking along it. This may imply he cannot go on land comfortably without it. Also, when seen by humans, he is described as appearing very strange and perhaps shady, or to be avoided. This is only assumed, as he means no harm to humans although he seems to dislike them.
- Ponyo, his eldest daughter. He appears to have a somewhat difficult relationship with her, being a bit strict after she disobeys him - causing her to run away.
- Ponyo's Sisters, his younger daughters. Unlike Ponyo, they are passive, and listen to their father, staying in their ship and bubble.
- Granmamare, a Sea Goddess, and his wife. He appears to be intimidated by her power and status, always fussing and worrying about how he cares for his children in her absence.

In this forceful manifesto, Hirsch argues that children in the U.S. are being deprived of the basic knowledge that would enable them to function in contemporary society. Includes 5,000 essential facts to know.
It makes fascinating reading, particularly when we bear in mind that, apart from a number of scientific items (included, somewhat inconsistently, in an effort to improve things), it is an attempt to establish what all culturally literate Americans actually know, not what they ought to know. . . . Mr. Hirsch's proposal merits serious consideration. -- New York Times

HOUSTON, May 14 (Reuters) - Venezuela's state run PDVSA launched a tender to buy a 300,000 barrel cargo of catalytic naphtha to be received on June 3-5 at one or two of its ports, including the Isla refinery in Curacao, according to an invitation seen by Reuters on Wednesday.
PDVSA's largest refinery, the 645,000 barrel per day (bpd) Amuay, slowed down operations last week because of a steam failure reported by workers, but the company said hours later that the facility was working at normal capacity.
PDVSA scheduled a maintenance program at Amuay's delayed cokers for the third quarter and the fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) of the 146,000 bpd El Palito refinery would be halted in the second half of this year, also for planned work .
The company said in the invitation that it will receive offers until May 20 and they must indexed to unleaded gasoline 87 prices from the U.S. Gulf Coast. It added that the payment will be made through an open account 35 days after discharge completion. (Reporting by Marianna Parraga)

The Height of Class
From its delightful front porch you can sit and take in the wonderful views offered by elevated Glenmount which looks out over Crawfordsburn Country Park to Belfast Lough, the Co Antrim coastline and the Irish Sea.
On a good day you can even see Scotland and the pleasure offered by the delightful sheltered veranda will have already sold this house to many before they even glimpse the great beauty beyond its front door.
A distinguished, double fronted, traditional style home, the house is filled inside with attractive period features including deep moulded skirtings, architraves, cornices, picture rails and high ceilings.
Carefully restored, it has been freshly decorated and combines modern facilities without spoiling the inherent charm and atmosphere of the original house.
The cloakroom, bathroom and en suite shower room have all been replaced and a new solid Ash fitted kitchen with cream gas fired Redfyre range has been recently installed.
It is a perfect family home with four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and space for casual dining in the kitchen.
Surrounded by carefully maintained, screened gardens and within two minutes walk of the Olde Inn and Crawfordsburn Country Park as well as public transport, shops and the local schools this is a charming and immediately appealing family home.
When you do draw yourself away from that lovely little porch with its incredible views you step into the hallway to find one of the property's most striking features.
A beautiful, turned staircase leads to a minstrel gallery in what is a bright room with some wood panelling, solid wooden floor and corniced ceiling.
Double doors open to the drawing room. This elegant room which also has a fresh modern feel opens into a bay window and is superbly finished. Also a door opens to the veranda.
The family room also has a delightful bay window and another living room or formal dining room has a lovely cosy old world feel with exposed wooden beams and a wood burning stove with wooden mantel and tiled hearth.
Also on the ground floor is a play room or study.
The kitchen/dining room is a huge and modern space with an excellent range of solid wood Shaker style cupboards with a mixture of granite and solid wooden worktops. A door leads to the utility room.
Upstairs and the first landing return is home to a bedroom and the family bathroom. Again all newly installed, the bathroom is modern in styling with a panelled bath with mixer taps and telephone hand shower and tiled surround plus a pedestal wash hand basin with mixer taps.
On the first floor the front rooms have fantastic views of Belfast Lough. The master has a large bay window taking in the views and is a beautifully styled and finished room. It comes with a luxury en suite shower room.
Outside the house has a garage and private rear courtyard where there is a detached store which would make an ideal studio, playroom or home office. There is also parking for several cars.
The private gardens are in lawns and mostly overlook the sea views taking maximum benefit from the wonderful setting.
Location appeal: Glenmount, 7 Ballymullan Road, Crawfordsburn

Anthony McGill dedicates Indian Open triumph to ill friend
Hyderabad: When Anthony McGill of Glasgow turned to his opponent Kyren Wilson at the end of the Indian Open final at the Novotel Hyderabad International Convention Centre here on Saturday, someone just turning up at the venue or tuning into the television, wouldn't have known who had triumphed, so calm and dignified was the exchange.
Anthony McGill
The emotions came later when McGill, while accepting his well-deserved winner's trophy, broke down remembering an ill friend to whom he dedicated the triumph.
Ranked 29 in the world, 25-year-old McGill had only around 90 minutes to recover after quelling the challenge of World No 4 Shaun Murphy 4-2 in the second semi-final after being 0-2 to start with.
A little over three hours into the final he was the champion as he downed the 16th ranked Wilson 5-2 in the best of nine frames clash. Wilson (24) had beaten fellow Englishman Nigel Bond 4-1 in the first semi-final.
The turning point came in the fifth frame. With the game tied at 2-2, Wilson coming back each time to draw level, the ice-cool McGill got in a break of 96 with the help of some wonderful potting to seal the frame. He missed an easy pink in the 6th but was fortunate that Wilson couldn't capitalize on the error.
In the 7th and what turned out to be the final frame, McGill, whose safety play was as impressive as his potting, turned on the magic when down 26-39. Potting the final red, he simply blew the rest of the colours away to end the contest then and there.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - The health of Thailand's 88-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world's longest reigning monarch, has "overall not yet stabilised", the palace said in a statement on Wednesday.
Earlier, the government, in a clear reference to the king's health, urged people not to listen to rumours on social media about "situations", saying they should await official announcements.
The statement from the palace follows one on Sunday in which it said the king was in an unstable condition after receiving haemodialysis treatment, which is used to cleanse the blood of toxins, extra salts and fluids.
"On Oct. 11 his blood pressure lowered and breath quickened," the palace said, adding that the king's health has "overall not yet stabilised".
Several hundred people gathered on Wednesday at Bangkok's Siriraj hospital, where the king has been for much of the past year, to pray for the widely revered monarch.
During his seven decades on the throne the king, who is seen as a unifying force, has intervened when events threatened to plunge Thailand into crisis.
He has been treated for various ailments over the past year and was last seen in public on Jan. 11, when he spent several hours visiting his palace in the capital, Bangkok.
A Reuters reporter at the hospital said all four of the king's children, including Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, visited him on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, who is also head of the ruling junta, cancelled an official engagement in the eastern province of Chonburi on Wednesday morning.
"The prime minister did not undertake his official duties in Chonburi province today in order to prepare for an audience with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a routine presentation on the government's work in progress," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
"The government spokesman has urged for the Thai public to rely on official announcements for an update on situations, rather than uncorroborated information in social media circles," the ministry said, without referring to the king's health.
The Stock Exchange of Thailand closed down 2.5 percent, its lowest since the end of May, after falling as much as 6.9 percent at one point to its lowest since March 1, led by shares in the aviation and tourism industries.
Wednesday's palace statement was the third health bulletin this month after the palace said on Oct. 1 the king was recovering after a respiratory infection.
Laws protecting the royals from insult make it a crime to defame, insult or threaten the king, queen, heir to the throne or regent.
