Halloween candy, festive decorations and creepy costumes all sound fun for people, but they create stressful situations and harbor potential dangers for your pets.
As a holistic veterinarian, my top Halloween pet safety tip is to be aware of and prevent all possible causes of toxicity or trauma. As the primary overseers of our pets' welfare, we must ensure the safety of our companion animals despite the additional effort, inconvenience, or expense.
Keep Halloween Candy Out of Your Pet's Reach
Although chocolate is highly concerning for its stimulating effect on dogs, the sugar, fat, and artificial colors and flavors found in Halloween candy (when consumed) can also lead to gastrointestinal illness. National Geographic provides an interactive Chocolate Chart to help dog owners navigate the potential for illness should chocolate be consumed.
For the sake of your pet's health and your finances, it is always better to avoid toxicity. Keep all holiday edibles out of your pet's reach. Put your children's candy stash in sealable plastic containers kept in a location inaccessible to pets.
If your pet does suffer a suspected or known exposure to candy or other toxin, call your veterinarian or a professional toxicity management organization. (ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 or Pet Poison Helpline 800-213-6880)
Be Cautious With Halloween Decorations
Growing up, I always enjoyed carving pumpkins and putting up lights to "spookify" my parents' home. In my adulthood, I'm more cautious in my approach to holiday decorating.
Although I advocate feeding cooked pumpkin to pets (as it provides a moist, nutrient dense fiber source), a jack-o'-lantern quickly rots and can serve as a mold and bacteria rich curiosity for your pet. Immediately dispose of your pumpkin at the first hint of decay (color change, bad smell, etc.).
Lit candles placed inside a pumpkin or other areas of your home create a fire hazard for both you and your pet (see Ricki Lake Fire Tragedy Teaches Lessons in Pet Emergency Preparedness). Trade candles for battery powered lights in your pumpkin and any room that is frequented by pets.
Electric cords from decorative lights double as an unsafe play toy, especially for cats. Kitty or canine curiosity could lead to life threatening electric shock, heart and lung malfunctions (non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema), or even death.
Dress Your Pet Only in Appropriate Halloween Costumes Under Strict Observation
Some pets readily allow themselves to be adorned in Halloween costumes, while others cower in anticipation of fabric, plastic, or other materials being applied to their bodies. Never force your pet to wear a costume, as the desperate attempt at removal could lead to blunt trauma or strangulation.
Always keep costume tolerating pets under close visual observation. Any or all costume components could be ingested and cause serious gastrointestinal illness (vomit, diarrhea, obstruction, etc.). Strings and extra material should also be trimmed.
Avoid or Reduce Stressful Halloween Situations
Halloween has many stressors that can adversely affect your pet's behavior: the doorbell repeatedly ringing, doors frequently opening and closing, "trick or treat" being loudly exclaimed, and strangers entering your shared home turf. All the excess stimulation may lead to canine or feline behavior changes, including vocalizing, aggression, pacing, cowering, destroying a confining space, or inappropriate urination or defecation.
If your pet is prone to such behaviors, minimize any stressful triggers. Arrange an overnight stay in a non-Halloween celebrating household. If your pet remains in your home, engage in energy draining activity a few hours before the perceived stressful event. Veterinary recommended natural products or prescription medications can be used on an as needed basis to relieve anxiety or induce a sedated state.
Properly Identify Your Pet
The frequent opening and closing of your door, paired with the excitement surrounding the arrival of costumed revelers, may distract you from your pet's location.
Runaway pets are more likely to be reconnected with their owners if a collar bearing up to date identification is worn. As collars and tags can fall off or be removed, an implanted microchip can add an extra layer of security. The microchip will be scanned at a veterinary hospital or shelter, but your personal information must be kept up to date with the microchip company to ensure you are contacted.
I greatly appreciate that safer living for pets and peace of mind for pet owners has been established through our ubiquitously present mobile devices. Technological advances now enable us to monitor a pet's location via GPS, such as with the Tagg Pet Tracker. If your pet travels beyond the established perimeter, you will be notified by text or e-mail.
Keeping our pets safe from danger is not a topic exclusive to Halloween, as there is much cross over with every other major holiday. Prioritizing pet safety in your daily life will help decrease the likelihood that toxicity or trauma will occur during a holiday.

We're no longer a fork of JHC. Maintaining a complete Haskell front-end was too much of a hassle, especially considering we're only interested in optimization on the GRIN level. For this reason, LHC has reinvented itself as an alternative backend to the Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler.
The lack of testability was a major problem in the previous version of LHC but hopefully we've learned from our mistakes. The new development efforts will be structured around a decremental reliance on a GRIN evaluator. In other words, we want to run the full testsuite between each and every significant code transformation. That no transformation should change the external behaviour of a GRIN program is a very simple invariant.
The current toolchain looks as following:
david@desktop:basic$ cat Args.hs
import System
main :: IO ()
main = do
as <- getArgs
mapM_ putStrLn as
david@desktop:basic$ ghc -fforce-recomp -O2 -fext-core -c Args.hs
david@desktop:basic$ lhc compile Args.hcr > Args.lhc
david@desktop:basic$ ./Args.lhc One Two Three
The contents of 'Args.lhc' is unoptimized GRIN code. It is not by any means efficient or fast but it serves its purpose.
Development will now focus on creating GRIN transformations that reduces the need for the RTS (our GRIN evaluator serves as the RTS).

The Central Connecticut football team will host its annual Blue-White Scrimmage on Friday, April 19th at Arute Field. The "spring game" is an annual event that marks the ceremonial ending of the Blue Devils' spring practice season. This year's edition will be held at night with kick-off scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game concluding by 9 p.m.
The spring game festivities will begin following the CCSU women's lacrosse game.
Throughout the game fans will be treated to on field interviews with players and head coach Jeff McInerney and his staff will present 12 awards, with each representing a former CCSU head football coach. The awards are presented to players that during spring practice have embodied a specific characteristic that is associated with each of the former coaches.
The game will be played on Arute Field, the home of CCSU football for more than 50 years, and will give fans the opportunity to see many of the Blue Devils that will be contributing during the 2013 season.
Watch sophomore Rob Hollomon, junior Nick Bacarella and junior Antwione Reese discuss spring practice and the Blue-White Scrimmage for a special video feature on NECFrontRow.com.
Prior to the Blue-White Scrimmage fans can attend the CCSU women's lacrosse team's contest with NEC foe Mount St. Mary's. That game is scheduled for 4 p.m. at Arute Field and features the first place Blue Devils putting their 7-0 conference mark on the line against the third place Mountaineers. Fans can also enjoy CCSU women's soccer on Friday night. Head coach Mick D'Arcy's squad will be in action on the CCSU Soccer Field at 7 p.m.
Admission to all of CCSU's athletic events on Friday is free.

Special Offer to Patients' of Dr. Eliza Klearman
EnviroKlenz Mobile System Promotion
The EnviroKlenz Mobile Air System combines patented EnviroKlenz technology and HEPA filtration to provide "adsorptive neutralization" and removal of a broad spectrum of airborne contaminants such as chemicals, fragrances, VOCs, odors, pollen, dust, mold, allergens, bacteria, and more through the use of environmentally safe and fragrance-free materials.The Mobile System Promotion is priced at a one-time offer of $650 and includes an EnviroKlenz Mobile air system with HEPA filter and EnviroKlenz Filter with 3 free additional EnviroKlenz replacement filters.
Over $300 In savings with 3 free VOC cartridges ( 2 years of replacements)
EnviroKlenz Mobile Air System w/ EnviroKlenz Cartridge and HEPA filter
✓ An easily installed EnviroKlenz-Air Cartridge contains a proprietary blend of materials to neutralize odors, chemicals, gasses, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and larger particulates.
✓ A multi-speed blower offers the quiet and efficient airflow. The low setting allows for near silent operation while still maintaining odor elimination. Medium to High speeds creates maximum air efficiency at noise levels still suitable for residential and commercial use.
✓ Affordable maintenance costs.
✓ No tools are required for unit maintenance.
What Makes the EnviroKlenz® Mobile Air System Different?
Removal of hazardous pollutants from the air is an important application area with significant impact on human health and quality of life. Portable home air filters, personal protection respirators, and large-scale filtration systems installed in buildings are examples of air filtration products widely used to improve air quality and prevent exposure to harmful chemicals. Air filters removing chemical pollutants, gasses, or vapors, are frequently used in the home where individuals are sensitive to chemicals or other environmental factors or pollutants may be present.
The majority of air systems only focus on particle filtration. These devices may use a combination of traditional MERV rated filters and HEPA filtration. In the image below, HEPA filtration does a good job of removing particulates, but it does not address chemical pollutants and odors.
EnviroKlenz® Advantage
EnviroKlenz® products have proven to be highly efficient "destructive adsorbents" for chemicals making them not only competitively advantageous but very attractive in multiple chemical sensitive situations. When the EnviroKlenz materials come into contact with harmful odor-causing chemicals, the metal oxides' active sites first capture the chemical then initiate the neutralization process. This type of action is needed for the numerous types of odorous chemicals that possess a variety of different functional groups. The increased surface area, unique physical morphology, high chemical reactivity, and functional porosity, all contribute to the enhanced chemical adsorption and odor neutralizing characteristics.
✓ EnviroKlenz materials are highly effective against many common chemical irritants, pollutants, and odors.
✓ EnviroKlenz technology can offer dramatically increased chemical neutralization capability and broader efficacy towards a variety of chemical classes.
✓ EnviroKlenz technology can be deployed into existing air handling systems or stand-alone mobile air systems.
✓ EnviroKlenz technology retains the adsorbed chemicals and/or fragrances.
✓ EnviroKlenz technology provides superior performance when compared to commercially available counterparts.
EnviroKlenz Technology vs Mold Generated Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs)
Indoor mold growth has long been associated with a musty or earthy smell, which most people find offensive. This characteristic smell has been found to result from the production of VOCs by various molds, such as Aspergillus and Penicillium species. Many different indoor molds produce VOCs, and a large variety of VOCs may be produced depending upon the species of mold, the specific conditions under which it is growing, and the substrate it is growing on.The enhanced chemical reactivity found in the EnviroKlenz Cartridge makes it ideal for removing harmful mold-generated VOCs, thus improving the indoor air quality in water and mold-damaged structures.
EnviroKlenz Effectiveness Against Mold
The EnviroKlenz formulation was tested against 5 VOCs known to be produced by a number of different fungal species.ix For this testing, 0.1 g of EnviroKlenz was placed into a headspace vial with ~ 3 μL of test VOC. The vial was capped and crimped, then vortexed to assure good contact between the EnviroKlenz formulation and the test VOC. After 24 h, the vial was subjected to headspace analysis by GC-FID. The results of this analysis are shown in the table to the right.
How Does the EnviroKlenz Mobile Air System work against Formaldehyde?
Environmental Chamber
In this test, an acute release of formaldehyde occurred in an environmental chamber. Once the formaldehyde levels equilibrated around 100 ppm, the EnviroKlenz Mobile Air System was turned on to rapidly remove the compound from the chamber air. The test was repeated using the same EnviroKlenz Air Cartridge to show capacity. Once the chemical contaminate is inside the proprietary EnviroKlenz Air Cartridge, an adsorptive neutralize process occurs. This means the chemicals are retained, without being released back into the environment.
Once the chemical contaminate is inside the proprietary EnviroKlenz Air Cartridge, an adsorptive neutralize process occurs. This means the chemicals is retained, without being released back into the environment.
Formaldehyde (ppm) vs Time (min)
Run 1 | Run 2 | Run 3
EnviroKlenz Mobile System w/ 3 replacement filters: $650.00
EnviroKlenz Mobile UV Model w/ 3 replacement filters: $799.00
Levels this high are not expected to be observed in a living environment, as they are 5 times the immediately dangerous level (IDLH) and 50 times more than the permissible level (PEL) for exposure. They were elevated in the test to account for the smaller size of the environmental chamber and the treatment area of the system (7,500 cubic feet).
EnviroKlenz Mobile Air System has the capacity and capabilities to make a significant impact on formaldehyde impacted living spaces.

"After searching for a unit to meet these specifications, I recently tried EnviroKlenz's Mobile Air Purifier System. This air purifier is designed specifically for those who are very sensitive, with multiple chemical sensitivities, allergies, and other health issues, making it a good solution for those who truly want to clean up their air.
I have had great results with these products as well and tolerate them even with my extensive allergies and sensitivities. I hope to share more about this technology and these non-toxic options in upcoming blog posts!"
I absolutely LOVE my Enviroklenz air purifier. I live in Los Angeles with very poor air quality. In my home I now have peace of mind that my indoor air quality is safe and relish coming home after breathing in toxic air when I'm out. Detox is the top priority in my home and my air purifier helps me to meet my health goals by preventing toxins from entering my body via the air.
Thank you Enviroklenz!
"Indoor air pollution is a major health problem today. There are often more harmful pollutants inside a home than outside—even in smoggy cities like Los Angeles.
EnviroKlenz products offer a quick, easy, effective solution to modern indoor air pollution. These products not only remove pollutants and odors from the air, they destroy chemical pollutants completely by breaking apart their molecular structure.
EnviroKlenz products can be lifesavers for anyone who needs or wants to live in a home free from toxic chemical exposures. They destroy a broad spectrum of toxic chemicals, including paint, fragrance, tobacco smoke, and pesticides.
I have conducted an independent review of the materials used to make EnviroKlenz products, and found them to meet my standards to be considered toxic free. Not only are the products themselves toxic free, they can make your home more toxic free as well.
EnviroKlenz Brand Promise
All EnviroKlenz mobile purchases include a 30-day money back guarantee.

PFSC necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 410 diseños de 93 diseñadores freelance.
Valinco Marine
VALINCO MARINE has been in business for over 40 years and we are just starting to market ourselves due to increasing competition.Valinco is the bay where we are located.
We distribute several leading boat brands such as Jeanneau, Capelli, Itama, Mochi Craft or Princess and maintain all brands of boats.
We are known for our expertise and commitment to our customers, shall one of them have a problem on either day or night time, public holiday or not we are there for them.
Being a family owned business with approximately 15 employees all dedicated to the company and happy to come to work on any day of the week an week ends. Our added value is our staff!
We are currently relocating to a brand new and prime location (5000m2) which will give us an even more leading advantage.
Our new logo will be the face of the company, printed on our staff'gears, boats and the offices! We will then build our website!
We have a sister company, please see : http://portovecchiomarine.fr/ but we would love to see what the creative designers that you all are have to offer and have something totally knew speaking for us.
European based people who come on vacation in the Mediterranean sea. They are most of the time entrepreneurs, business owners or upper managers looking to enjoy their free time. We also have a clientele of old local customers who come to us to repair and maintain their old boats due to our level of expertise.
Be creative is my first requirement read the tell us about yourself part I believe it is quite comprehensive, our new logo needs to speak for itself and be the voice and face of the company.
An icon would be a good thing, no cartoon though as we do not want to be seen as cheap or childish.
Avoid anything that would refer to the island (corsica) or its shape. You can google it though and enjoy a few pics of what makes our every day life so enjoyable!
Motor boats are our first market, we do not do so much sail boats, so no sail icon.
Nothing that refers to fishing nor waves, here is an example of what we are trying to avoid:
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
Something easy to connect with, to remember once seen on a cloth, car or boat, something elegant.
Most important of all, I hope you will have as much fun designing our logo as we have selling and working on boats!

Dupuyer, Montana, Wage Gap Statistics
The wage gap, also called the gender pay gap, is pervasive in the United States. Men make more than women in every state, at every education level, and in every major occupation category.
The data here is from the American Community Survey (ACS), conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. The ACS publishes estimates on median earnings in Dupuyer each year—that is, income earned as wages, salaries, tips, and bonuses from work (or receipts minus expenses for self-employment).
Unlike the Census—which is an exact count of people and households every ten years—ACS statistics are estimated based on a representative survey sample. This report uses ACS 5-year estimates for Dupuyer wage data, rather than single-year periods. The 5-year estimates provide greater geographical granularity but a less granular time period.
Note that each chart shows data for a distinct population under consideration. For example, the chart on educational attainment only includes data for people with earnings 25 years and older; the chart on occupation includes data only for full-time, year-round civilians with earnings.
How has the wage gap in Dupuyer, Montana changed over time?
How does Dupuyer wage gap compare to Montana and the United States?
Note: Use the time-slider beneath the chart to view data from different time periods.
How does the wage gap vary by education in Dupuyer, Montana?
How does the wage gap vary by occupation in Dupuyer, Montana?
About the Data
Data is from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), 5-year estimates. The following tables are used:

Show your green credentials: The Girard Perregaux World Wide Time Control Chronograph at Christie's Green Auction
Sowind Watch Group got right behind a worthy cause last night by donating a special edition Girard-Perregaux watch which will be auctioned over the coming days by Christies.
The inaugural Green Auction held on Earth Day in 2010 raised US$2.4 million (€1.7 million). Last night Christie's auction house staged its Green Auction to benefit the environment, with proceeds earmarked for not-for-profit environmental organisations including:
Conservation International – this international association empowers societies to responsibly and sustainably care for nature.
Natural Resources Defence Council – this American environmental action group combines the grassroots power of 1.3 million members.
Oceana – which focuses solely on ocean conservation, protecting marine ecosystems and endangered species.
Some of the world's top international collectors, philanthropists, celebrities and designers were present at the 2011 Christie's Green Auction, Bid to Save the Earth, on March 29, 2011 at Rockefeller Center in New York. The night was a fiesta of entertainment, Christie's green auction and a green fashion show debuted Fall 2011 creations and accessories by renowned designers across the world. All proceeds from the event will be used to benefit the second annual 'Bid to Save the Earth' collaboration aimed at protecting the future of the Earth.
Besides this, Christie's has also merged with luxury charity auction site, Charitybuzz.com to put over 200 auction packages to raise funds through April 7, 2011.
Girard-Perregaux joined this collective action by donating a unique timepiece, the WW.TC Chronograph for Green Auction.
Stefano Macaluso, President of the Sowind Group, owner of Girard-Perregaux said: "We are pleased to create an exclusive watch for the Green Auction. At Girard-Perregaux, we are fully aware of the ecological issues at hand and feel it is important to incorporate environmental responsibility in our business philosophy."
The exclusive GP033C0 in-house movement combines chronograph and date functions with world time indication. Its finishes, which can be seen through the sapphire case-back, include circular graining on the main plate, Côtes de Genève on the bridges and oscillating weight, as well as blued steel screws.
Also, to honour the Green Auction, it comes complete with the 24-hour ring decorated with a striking green and white contrast. Bidding for the watch will end on April 7th.

I am a speech and language trainer, speaker and coach. I run programs in speech training, public speaking, English language, communication etiquette, interpersonal skills and networking.
I'm looking for very fresh icons that are clean and clear, look good everywhere (on screen & in print) and can be used across all of my different programs and materials (workbooks, newsletter, PowerPoint slides, books & e-books). They should be professional (I only deal with adult, corporate clients), but not too stuffy. I still like to have fun!
When people see this group of icons I want them to know right away that they are looking at Hansen training materials.

pchan necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 54 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
I work at an industrial equipment dealership and we are trying to generate some excitement and interest in a new, high horsepower stump grinding machine we are now carrying.
Tree service companies, landscapers, land clearing contractors, etc.
I want you to "cartoonize" the stump-cutting machine and bring it to life by making it part beast, part machine, capable of destoying any tree stump it comes up against. It is important that we retain brand recognition, the yellow color and the swoosh striping and the brand name should be retained best you can in the design.
The factory brochure can be downloaded at:
I think the picture on the first page shows the machine in a configuration I think is suited well for cartoonization. For example the cutting wheel could be its teeth, the guard over the cutting wheel would be its upper jaw, the column where the hydraulic motor and hoses are could be its head and then behine that its neck and then main body. Perhaps replace the wheels and tires with monster legs and feet. The operators station should not be included in the graphic.
Perhaps you could include a cartoon stump, rearing back with a look of horror on its "face" trying to get away from StumpZilla.......
Treat the above as a general direction but please feel free to be creative and make suggestions as you see fit. This is my first project on 99 so bear with me.
Additional photos of the machine at:
I'll add a few more pics tomorrow (neck extended)

Larry and I were headed to visit some family on the west side and decided to grab lunch - so I grabbed the handy-dandy Urbanspoon Shake It App and went on the hunt for some place near Price Hill. I came across Happy Days Cafe and it had great reviews - so we decided to try it. How do you turn down someplace with 100% LIKED IT?!
One look at the menu and you can guess that the owner is Greek - and sure enough - he is! He came over and chatted - so friendly! He's been in the restaurant biz for quite a few years and now he's decided to open his own place. It's been open for 6 months and they're looking forward to more of YOU coming to see them!
The menu isn't all Greek but there are some items such as gyros as well as the owner's Yaya specials from his mom's recipe book - those are next on my list to try. They also have a great breakfast menu...but today - was burger day!
This is the Fonz. It's 2 patties with cheese, a mett and a whole bunch of other crazy stuff - and it was AMAZING! This was Larry's choice - they have a "make your own burger" pad that you fill out - but he saw this and decided he had to try it. It was amazingly messy and delicious! Plus - affordable! He doesn't even really like metts - but he loved one on this burger.
Larry did make the statement that he liked this as much as Terry's - and here - you don't have to deal with crazy lines! YET!
When chatting with the owner - he mentioned that "the nice lady from the paper" had been by and liked the burgers as well - and sure enough Polly has been there and agreed with our thoughts on all counts!
Why Should You Go? If the burgers are any indication of the rest of the menu - it's a must-stop place! The burger was tasty, juicy and just plain fantastic! The meat does have some added spices to make it Greektacular and it is. The prices are great and it's a new, local business - so you should definitely go!
After lunch and our family visit - we decided to pull out our favorite History Channel App and see some historic places in the 'Nati.
There were all of the obvious places - Taft Museum, UC, etc... but we were going for some of the lesser known places.
Harriet Beecher Stowe House - the weather was bad and we didn't have a ton of time - so we just did drive-bys. Pretty cool to know things like this are around. Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin" which had a big impact on slavery and the Civil War. We had just seen Lincoln a few days before - so we read up on it on their website.
William Howard Taft National Historic Site - this is part of the National Parks system and they offer tours as well as programs. Besides being our 27th President - he was Governor of the Philippines - who knew?!
Samuel and Sally Wilson House. This is now a private home - so I'm sure they love the slow drive-bys and picture taking that randomly happens - but hey - it's on the NPS website...so I'm allowed - right? This home was used on the Underground Railroad - so much so - they actually had to cut back because it was so well-known.
The app doesn't have a TON of items in the Cincinnati area and really has none in NKY - but it was fun to drive around and see some new historical places around town.
So find some time this weekend to get a great burger and visit something new in our city!

I am a sophomore in high school and my math teacher did a very short lesson on infinity, here's how it went: (Try to solve each part yourself the first two are easy)
Part 1
You have an inf. number of boxes each labeled like so
and that there is a person in each one of these boxes. But you have another set of five boxes like so
You want to only have one set of boxes what do you do? You must be able to tell each person what box they should goto next.
Each person is told to move down five boxes. Or n+5 is you new box, and the five people from the other boxes are able to move into the first five boxes or just n+0.
Part 2
Well you actually have two of these inf. box sets, but you really only want one. What now? (same rules apply)
Each person from set one is told to go to box 2n and each person from set two is told to box 2n-1
Part 3
Now you have an inf. number of these inf. box sets arranged like so
1: [1][2][3][4][5]...
2: [1][2][3][4][5]...
3: [1][2][3][4][5]...
4: [1][2][3][4][5]...
5: [1][2][3][4][5]...
and you want to fit them all into one inf. box set, how do you do it. She refused to tell us the answer and no one in my class figured it out, but I think I just did (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm also looking for alternate solutions).
How I went about solving this problem
Step 1
I assumed that there had to be some sort of pattern so I tried a few
Step 2
I picked the following patter.
1: [1][3][6][10][15]...
2: [2][5][9][14][]...
3: [4][8][13][][]...
4: [7][12][][][]...
5: [11][][][][]...
The numbers in the box represent the new box of each person
Step 3
I started to create a formula for the people to find there new room based of there current room number and box set number. I found the following sequence in for people in the first row, 1 3 6 10 15. Or +2 +3 +4 +5. Which told me that it was quadratic so the equation had to be ax^2 + bx + c = new room number
Step 4
I found three equation by plugging in room numbers and their correct new room numbers to find these three equations:
(1^2)a + 1b + c = 1 or a + b + c = 1
(2^2)a + 2b + c = 3 or 4a + 2b + c = 3
(3^2)a + 3b + c = 6 or 9a + 3b + c = 6
Step 5
After solving this system I got the following equation 1/2x^2 + 1/2x + 0 = new room number where x = current room number. This of course only tell the people in the boxes on the bottom where to go. Now I needed to find how to place the rest of the people. The first thing I noticed was that people on the same diagonal as seen bellow were very much related to each other when you look at the rooms they will end up in.
The solution
Working this knowledge into my equation was fairly easy (I was able to do it while going for a run so I won't explain how I got my equation). The equation is:
(1/2(r+c-1)^2 + 1/2(r+c-1) + 0)-r+1 = new room number | r = row | c = column
Now my question to all of you is
- Is my equation correct?
- Are there any alternate solutions to this problem?
- How could you fit a 3D array of boxes (inf boxes of people in all direction) into a 1D line of boxes?
- Can you find a way to fit a n dimensional array of boxes into a 1D line of boxes?
For any of you into JAVA here's a a short snippet of code I made to prove my answer
package main;
public class Main {
* @param args
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int f = 2;
int r = 1;
int c = 1;
double x = (.5*(r+c-1)*(r+c-1) + .5*(r+c-1) + 0)-r+1;
System.out.print(x +", ");
if(r < 1){
r = f;
c = 1;

Afternoon Ted, afternoon everybody.
Andy Steggall, can you hear me Andy Steggall (with your thatched on hair-do), Sally Taylor, Carl Tyler, the late Jack Hargreaves, Shaun Udal, the entire cast of "The Village". Your boys took one hell of a beating. Nod to the Connecticut and NE Florida Seagulls for that little outburst.
Afterwards, Gus Poyet was understandably like the proverbial canine with dual appendages. He thought that his players and fans had done him proud. "You did me proud" he cooed. It was also his 42nd birthday and got a bit too carried away by saying it was his best ever birthday present. Something that Mrs Poyet will no doubt have brought up over their post match asado.

Edible DIY: Spicy Pumpkin Seed-Pecan Brittle
You already know Lucy Baker from her weekly Mixed Review column here—she'll be chiming in with ideas for arts-and-craftsy food gifts in her column Edible DIY. Give them out as edible party favors, or as a thank-you to the host. Either way, the recipient(s) will be quite pleased. Take it away, Lucy! —The Mgmt.
Get the Recipe
I made twelve pounds of a nut brittle similar to this one to give as favors at my own engagement party. My mother thought I was insane. "It's a party for you. Other people are going to give you things. You don't have to make gifts for all the guests!" But the truth is, I love making presents for people—especially ones that are edible. What could be a more thoughtful, personal, or delicious token of affection?
This brittle is a snap to make (the only special tool you need is a decent candy thermometer) and the flavors are pure fall: crackly pumpkin seeds, crunchy pecans, and warm cinnamon. The cayenne adds the subtlest hint of heat, and the fleur de sel makes it dangerously addictive. For more of a kick, increase the cayenne to 1/2 teaspoon. Or for a pie-inspired version, omit the cayenne and cinnamon and add 3/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice along with the baking soda.
There are many ways to make nut brittle. I find this one the easiest. I also think it yields the best, most consistent results. Basically, you boil sugar, butter, corn syrup, and water until it reaches the hard ball stage (300°F).
Then you stir in the spices, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and the nuts. Scrape everything onto a parchment lined baking sheet, spread it as thinly as you can, and sprinkle it with whatever "fancy" salt (fleur de sel, Maldon sea salt, etc.) you have on hand. That's it, you're done!
Provided you don't devour the entire batch (trust me, it's happened), this recipe yields enough brittle for two large gifts or six small favors. You can make it ahead, too. It will keep for at least three weeks stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Leeward Community College celebrates first international student graduate
Yuriko Watanabe one of the first international students to attend the collegeLeeward Community College
English Language Institute
Kristen Bonilla, (808) 956-5039
External Affairs & University Relations
PEARL CITY, Oʻahu — Japan-native Yuriko Watanabe wanted to attend a college in Hawaiʻi that had few other Japanese students because she knew it would force her to perfect her English-speaking skills. She chose well when she selected Leeward Community College; she was one of five international students that were the first to attend the campus in 2003. This month, she was honored as one of the first to obtain a degree from the college.
Watanabe completed Leeward CC's intensive English language program after one year and then entered the campus' credit degree-granting program. She graduated this month with an associate degree in liberal arts, and plans to continue her studies at UH Mānoa majoring in psychology.
"There was a time I got so frustrated I almost wanted to run away," Watanabe explained at a special recognition ceremony for the campus' international students. "But, I am very fortunate to have many friends here and I would not have been able to accomplish what I have without a lot of help."
"We're very proud of Yuriko and all of our international students. They've shown a lot of courage and determination in their efforts to learn a new language, and their level of English acquisition is incredibly impressive," said Leeward CC Chancellor Peter Quigley. "We also want to thank them for adding richness to our campus as we learn from their backgrounds and are exposed to their cultures. Their accomplishments illustrate the excellence of our English language program and the college, and we wish them continued success."
Watanabe was one of five international students that enrolled in the campus' English Language Institute (ELI) when it began in 2003. The intensive program provides high-quality English instruction and orientation in American and Hawaiian culture to international students, professionals and other non-native speakers. Today, there are nearly 70 international students from 20 countries at the campus enrolled in non-credit courses through the ELI program and credit courses towards earning associate degrees.
For more information about Leeward CC's English Language Institute, call (808) 455-0510, email email@example.com, or visit the campus' website at www.leeward.hawaii.edu and select the "International Students" link.

Folk artist Leonard Knight, creator of Salvation Mountain, died on Monday afternoon in San Diego. He was 82.
It took Knight about three decades to paint and personalize the famed art installation in the desert of Niland, Calif., near the Salton Sea. Knight used adobe, straw and thousands of gallons of paint to personalize it with religious murals and technicolor Bible verses.
The site, which draws thousands of spectators every year, was Knight's life project. Volunteers have been working to protect and maintain it since he was placed in a long-term care facility in late 2011.
Seattle-based photographer Aaron Huey met Knight seven years ago and returned to Salvation Mountain several times since then. He remembers the artist:
Leonard's single mission in life was to spread the message that "God is Love" and though it references the Abrahamic "God," his mountain truly transcended any individual faiths. He brought countless people together to marvel at both the mountain and his message. Living at the mountain full-time in the back of an old painted firetruck with no belongings beyond his clothes and a few coolers, he could be found surrounded by visitors every day of the week spreading his message of "Universal Love." Though Leonard shrugged off the title of "artist," his work—his single masterpiece—will surely be counted among the greatest pieces of folk art ever created.
I met Leonard seven years ago and his impact on my life has been immense. Leonard made me want to throw away all of my things. My computers, my phone, my career, my ego—and to help him build his mountain of mud and paint. Instead, I helped him carry a dozen hay bales up the mountain and promised to come back again. I returned a dozen times over six years to help him build, to photograph his work, and to try to better understand his humble genius. I had never met a man of such singular, unflinching vision and to this day I can say he is one of the most incredible people I have ever met in all the world.
Your message lives on, Leonard. Travel well my friend.
—Aaron Huey

The enormous well-being and happiness dividends of a strong, intimate relationship can be erased by the damage that can occur when a partner is lost through death or a difficult breakup. The death of a spouse, in particular, can literally be a killer, especially if the husband is the surviving spouse.
The end of a marriage can be devastating for health, says Debra Umberson, a sociologist at the University of Texas at Austin.
"What we see is that divorce for both men and women decreases happiness and increases the chances of dying in the next year," says Linda Waite, a sociologist and demographer at the University of Chicago. "The hit seems to be pretty substantial for both sexes for divorce."
Women, however, may deal with divorce better than men, and they are clearly better survivors than men in dealing with the death of a spouse. Divorced men are much more likely to remarry and regain the benefits of marriage.
Gender roles are changing and behavioral differences are likely narrowing for younger people in marriages. But the impact of divorce and widowhood on older people is based on gender roles established decades ago.
Gender influence
"When you think about the things that are really challenges to health, women are really better at managing the health care system. They are better at taking care of themselves," Waite says.
Deb Carr, a sociologist at Rutgers University, agrees: "For divorced people or widowed people who haven't remarried, the men are still worse off."
People who are divorced or widowed tend to eat terribly, for example, and abandon healthful habits. To the extent that such habits were supported primarily by a wife, a divorced or widowed man is likely to face larger adjustments in maintaining a healthy and low-stress lifestyle.
"It does have to do with gender roles," Waite says. "When you ask people, 'Do you have somebody you talk to about things that are important to you?', most men say their wife. But women have a bigger social network, and while many may say they would (talk to) their husband, they often will also say it would be their sister, or a friend. So, their social networks aren't as shattered when they lose a spouse."
"Women help men with their meals, they encourage them to exercise, they remind them to take their medications, and they often develop social ties for them," Carr adds.
Older divorced and widowed women, however, often face financial problems, both in having enough money and in managing their finances and investments.
Coping strategies
The good news is that the "effects of divorce do dissipate over a period of years," says Umberson. But it's still hard to protect yourself from being harmed by the experience. The experts offer this advice to cope with a bad situation:
It can help to think about those gender-based skills you lack, Carr says: "Do whatever you can to learn roles that have traditionally been performed by your spouse."
Reduce stress: "A lot of the physical and emotional consequences (of losing a spouse) come from stress," Waite says. "They should be exercising, they should be doing yoga and meditation, they should be activating their social supports. They should be playing ball with their buddies, they should be having lunch with their girlfriends, they should be talking with their mother. And they very deliberately can try to rebuild" their social connections.
It makes sense for older people to turn to organizations to seek support and compensate for the loss of a life partner — a church, book club, volunteer group or exercise class. It may be hard at that age to find a new friend or spouse, and organizations can fill some of that void.
Widows and widowers in particular need to continue living their lives.
"One important issue is to have a continuing sense of personal growth," Carr says. "Learning new things, engaging in new activities, and joining new social groups are all considered really protective" and healthy behaviors. "Any sense of mastery is really good for a sense of well-being."
In some situations, a breakup does more good than harm.
While rates of divorce are still high, they've receded over the past 30 years, according to research by Andrew Cherlin, professor of sociology and public policy at Johns Hopkins University. About half of marriages begun around 1980 will end in divorce, and the figure has declined for more recent marriages. The divorce rate has also declined for couples with college degrees.
Latest Health
"We used to think that all marriages were good," says sociologist Deb Carr of Rutgers University. "Today, there tends to be evidence that a good marriage is good for your health and longevity, but not necessarily for people who are in difficult marriages."
Likewise, while divorce is generally bad for health and happiness, that's not always the case.
"If someone divorces from a marriage that is marked by high levels of conflict, high levels of stress and low levels of emotional warmth," says Carr, "they are not so worse off after divorcing. But if the stresses that were present in the marriage continue after the divorce, that's not true."

UFC Undisputed 2010's poor sales, earlier reported to be down more than 50 per cent from last year's breakout hit UFC 2009 Undisputed, now have a reason: THQ says Red Dead Redemption sucked up all the oxygen in May.
"Our sales were softer than where we would have liked them to be," THQ's Jon Rooke, the director of marketing in the UK, told MCV. "We know our UFC and MMA fans have bought it, but we haven't delivered the broader sales yet.
"That's largely down to Red Dead Redemption," Rooke said. "Rockstar have probably taken a fair amount of our market share. They shipped five million units, taking a lot of consumer dollars."
That said, Rooke doesn't classify UFC's performance as a disappointment: "Last year, we had the perfect storm," he said. Indeed it did, with only Infamous as any competition with acclaim in that month. "This year Rockstar did. That's not to say our sales were in any way disappointing. We still managed to ship 2.6 million units.
"And we've got a long tail with that product," Rooke said. "We absolutely believe we will deliver our initial sales expectations for UFC and the 2010 edition has been a phenomenal success."

Introduction To Pre-Workout Boosters
Explosive Energy For Your Workout
Pre-workout Supplements are designed to help you maximize your time in the gym and attack those weight racks!* Some of the benefits you may experience are:
- Sharp mental alertness and focus*
- Skyrocketing energy levels*
- Circulating oxygen flow in the muscle tissue*
- Explosive muscular energy *
- Vein-popping vascular pumps*
Kick-start With Caffeine
When you feel like you'd rather nap than hit the gym, you need something that's going to jolt your system and get you focused and energetic.
That's where caffeine can help! Caffeine is found naturally in things we eat or drink everyday: coffee, soda, tea, chocolate and more. But as a supplement, caffeine also packs a punch. Whether it's in a capsule or combined in a pre-workout formula with other products, caffeine as a supplement is often really convenient compared to drinking a source of caffeine.
Caffeine may also support fast metabolism, focus, mental clarity, fat loss, focus and strength!*
Time To Get Pumped
L-Arginine is often included in blended pre-workout supplements or you can take it on its own to support oxygen flow and unleash that awesome muscle pump!* L-Arginine is designed to support intense workouts and explosive movements! *
L-Arginine may also help you recover faster from your workouts, which means fast results!*
The Big, Bad Wolf Of Pre-Workouts
Beta-Alanine may help maximize protein synthesis and promote muscular endurance and performance during exercise.* Who wouldn't want that for a great workout? You can use Beta-Alanine by itself or check out pre-workout products with a blend of ingredients - because Beta-Alanine is often included in pre-workout blends.
A Devastating Combo
You'll see ingredients like: Creatine, Arginine, Beta-Alanine, and Caffeine. Sometimes you'll also see other amino acids, carbohydrates, natural herbs, vitamins or minerals to help fuel your workout. By taking a pre-workout supplement with a combination of ingredients, you may experience a surge in strength, endurance, focus, energy and power.*

Oscar Pistorius, South African double-amputee, qualifies for 400 track semis
LONDON — Oscar Pistorius, the South African double-amputee who runs on carbon-fiber prosthetics, became the first disabled athlete to compete in the able-bodied Olympics Saturday and qualified for the semifinals in the 400 meters.
"I was so nervous this morning," Pistorius said. "I didn't know whether to cry. I had a mixture of emotions. It was the most amazing experience, the crowd was amazing."
CU runner Emma Coburn qualified for the finals of the steeplechase easily but teammate Shalaya Kipp did not.
Americans Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin and Ryan Bailey all won their heats in the men's 100 meters. So did world record holder Usain Bolt, the Olympic champion, and Jamaican teammates Asafa Powell and Yohan Blake.
Bolt didn't even go hard in his heat.
"That is not sprinting," said Michael Johnson, the hero of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in the 400 and 200 meters. "That tells me there is a lot more (speed) there."
Action tonight includes the women's 100-meter final and the men's 10,000 meters.

Also, he produced 'Betún' and 'Jo Jo los Alegres Detectives' for La Razón. Daloisio furthermore created 'Lechuga' in Figuritas (1936) and 'El Mago Truco y su Ayudante Retruco' in Cachilo (1939). In 1940 he created his most famous series in the daily El Mundo, 'Tric y Trake'.

No p-values for STDYX in model

Categorical Data Modeling
Martin Schultze
posted on Thursday, September 15, 2011 - 11:56 pm
I have the following Model, using the WLMSV estimator. Categorical are all.
C_pi_bin is the IV (binary)
C_K by vn167Ar vn167Br vn167Cr;
C_S by c_iss1 c_iss2 c_iss3;
c_wahl on c_pi_bin;
C_K on c_pi_bin;
C_S on c_pi_bin;
c_wahl on C_S;
c_wahl on C_K;
C_K on C_S;
c_wahl ind c_pi_bin;
c_wahl ind C_S;
When estimating this model, I only get the estimates in the STDYX, but no s.e. and p-values.
Why is this so?
When I rewrite it, so that c_pi_bin is a latent variable with only 1 indicator, that looks like this:
C_PID by
I get all the results, but the warning that my IV is treated as continious, but is binary. Can I interpret the results nevertheless, because it is an IV?
Thanks for your help.
Bengt O. Muthen

I would not do
C_PID by
because you add the assumption of underlying normality for your binary covariate. When you have a binary covariate you don't want to use STDYX for the slopes on this covariate, but STDY.

I have the same problem as Martin Schultze. When I add a certain construct with 3 indicators to my model and add more than one path from this construct the p-values and s.e. would disappear in the output.
I am a newbee in Mplus and may overlook something obvious but could you tell me what is the reason for that?
Thanks for your help!

With WLSMV, standard errors and p-values for standardized parameters are not available for conditional models.
Richard Wonner
posted on Tuesday, June 25, 2013 - 10:15 pm
Thanks Dr. Muthen,
but what does "conditional" mean in this context. I am wondering why just this construct would make a difference while all others won't. Could you give me a hint where I can find this issue in the user manual?
Thanks for your help!

A conditional model is a model with covariates.
Richard Wonner
posted on Wednesday, June 26, 2013 - 1:10 pm
Thanks for the answer!
Sorry to ask again but what does this mean? I tried to find out with the help of the Users Guide, Google etc. but could not find a hint. Does it mean:
1. Something is wrong with my dataset?
2. Some constellation which makes the model not computable?
3. Do I have to leave the construct out of my model in order to get p-values and fit indices or can I make this work somehow?

Dear Dr. Muthen,
You said in the above posting "With WLSMV, standard errors and p-values for standardized parameters are not available for conditional models". Can I be reasonably confident in applying the p-values for unstandardized parameters to the standardized parameters? I am hoping to use the standardized parameters to compare the relative predictive value of each covaraite.
Thank you very much!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, April 02, 2014 - 5:13 pm
Their p-values usually agree, but not always.
Minnik Findik
posted on Thursday, February 11, 2016 - 7:18 am
I have the same issue. No p-values or std errors for sdyx & std estimates.
How can I know the p values?
Is it safe to assume that p-values for unstandardized parameters will be the same for standardized parameters
Thank you very much!
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, February 11, 2016 - 10:37 am
The p-values are different for unstandardized and standardized parameters because their sampling distributions are different. If you don't get p-values, you may be using an older version of Mplus where they were not available.

I am using Mplus 7 and my model is;

Tom Cruise's latest role is taking him to new heights.
The first full length trailer for the reboot of "The Mummy" depicts the Oscar nominee back in action as he faces off against an ancient princess awakened from her crypt.
In a star-studded trailer featuring Sofia Boutella as the enchanted Princess Ahmanet, Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll and Annabelle Wallis as archaeologist Jenny Halsey, fans watch Cruise plummet to his death on a plane only to seemingly spring back to life in a morgue.
U.S. & World
Next, Cruise is formally introduced to the mystical enemy with a chilling warning from Crowe's character. "She will claim what she has been denied," he tells the star as scenes of a destroyed city play out.
While the film is a redux of the decades-old Mummy franchise, the trailer makes a creepy promise to its modern audience: "Welcome to a new world of gods...and monsters."
Back in May, Crowe hinted at the movie's turn as a horror film rather than the adventure blockbuster it was known as under Brendan Fraser. "This one is kind of more designed to seriously scare the s-- out of you," he told Variety.
The film hits theaters June 9, 2017.

CopyMaster necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 99 diseños de 23 diseñadores freelance.
http://www.innovationsummit.co.za ( we are also rebuilding the website but this will guide you to what we are looking for )
For the 3rd year in row we are aiming to host the SA Innovation Summit. The theme of this year's summit will be: " Your innovation success story ". We need something new, and exciting. We have decided to change the look and feel of the previous summit / conferences to a more innovative design.
The Annual Innovation Summit will weave the stories of various speakers together to promote and facilitate the innovation culture in South Africa. We will be moving away from the traditional and want to use a personal approach of sharing stories of success and failure.
Our audience have been government, business and academia which constitutes the innovation community of South Africa. The previous Innovation Summit hosted 120 delegates and this year our aim is to attract at least 200.
The logo needs to be young and fresh with a crisp, clean feel to it.
We would like to make use of the following colours:
- Yellow
- Minor Black
- Grey
- White
- Purple
The logo must have the words: "SA Innovation Summit " with an image / icon.
For the image / icon we do not want:
- Light bulbs
- Puzzle pieces
- Globe images
- Corporate people images
- finger / hand prints ... the rest is up to you imagination.
