No Div. I for IU athletes in Fort Wayne
Details of IPFW split approved
RON SHAWGO | For The Journal Gazette
Indiana University students enrolled in what is now IPFW will not be able to participate in Division I sports when the school splits next year.
That policy is one of many approved Friday by trustees for Indiana and Purdue universities, which have jointly operated IPFW for more than 50 years. Spelled out in legal detail, the agreement addresses how the universities will cooperate through July�1, 2018, when IPFW officially becomes two schools. It also outlines terms after the split. Division I will be Purdue's domain.
The 77-page agreement, with appendices, covers responsibilities for financial aid, faculty transfers between schools, property, the campus library, its bookstore and even how the name "IPFW" can be used in the future. The trustees approved the agreement in separate board meetings.
Buried deep in the document is the fact that although IU Fort Wayne students will be able to participate in athletic events, recreational activities and intramural sports, they will be barred from Division I.
National Collegiate Athletic Association rules prohibit players from two different schools competing on one team, IU spokeswoman Margie Smith-Simmons said in an email response.
Five of about 240 IPFW student-athletes are in health science programs, which IU will take over, IPFW Athletics Director Kelley Hartley Hutton said in an email. Three could need a waiver to remain eligible for athletics.
"There is no doubt that Fort Wayne athletics may miss out on a few recruits in the future because of the lack of health sciences offerings, but it is not a crippling blow," she said. "The part that impacts us the most is transitioning those currently in IU majors such as business and education that are going to Purdue. That's the one that is a little trickier, but very, very achievable."
The Mastodons will remain the name of the Purdue Fort Wayne teams, but team colors could change as part of a brand marketing study underway, Purdue spokeswoman Julie Rosa said in an email.
Purdue is the managing partner of IPFW. Late last year, IU and Purdue trustees approved an agreement for IPFW's governance that establishes two institutions beginning July 1, 2018. IU will have a lower profile and focus on health sciences. Purdue will handle all other academic programs. When realignment is complete, IU expects to enroll about only 1,100 students. Total IPFW enrollment last year was about 12,000 full- and part-time students.
In a joint statement Friday, the universities said more than 200 faculty and staff members from Purdue, IU and IPFW have been involved in the transition planning. Their aim is to provide a seamless student experience; shift faculty members between institutions with their tenure, rank and seniority intact; prevent duplication of missions; arrange for a smooth transfer of libraries to Purdue; and administer endowments and gifts in accordance with donor intent.
In many ways, the agreement clearly spells out ways IU will pay Purdue to provide that seamless student experience, said Jeffrey Malanson, presiding officer of the IPFW faculty senate.
"Because obviously, IU Fort Wayne isn't a university," he said. "As of right now, it's a small group of programs that in many ways depends upon Purdue Fort Wayne to provide the complete college experience for its students."
The Program Transfer Agreement signed Friday sets a path to erase most remnants of IPFW, opened in 1964.
"The name 'Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne' or 'IPFW' will be used only as a geographic indicator of the physical campus … and only in conjunction with the names adopted by each University," the agreement states. "It may be displayed only on the periphery of the campus and in the same size or smaller typeface as the name adopted by the Universities."
Under the agreement, each school will be responsible for collecting its own tuition and fees.
As of July 1, 2018, Purdue will offer IU students "general education classes, service courses and programs required by such students" to fulfill their IU degree requirements.
The agreement sets out how IU will pay Purdue for those courses. It also establishes a process for IU to inform Purdue of which courses its students require. The initial course list will be provided to Purdue by Sept.�1 this year.
Those in Purdue general education courses will have access to Purdue's Blackboard Learn online learning management system or a similar system.
IU students will have access to the Waterfield Student Housing complex and other student housing under the same terms as Purdue students. Students, faculty and staffers will have access to the same parking lots and garages.
IU and Purdue students will be able to join all student life and leadership organizations.
Students in both schools will have access to the library, health and wellness counseling services. The ownership of the Helmke Library will be assumed by Purdue.
Purdue will maintain its bookstore vendor contract but will not be required to provide textbooks and other supplies "to any IU-delivered course, program, degree or department." IU would have to get its own vendor for that.
IU students will be admitted using admission standards determined by IUPUI. Purdue and IU will administer their own student recruiting, application process and student transfer procedures.
Each university agrees not to offer courses or research that fall under the other's academic mission.
Purdue will manage the Fort Wayne campus, including the Technical Assistance Program next to campus and the Cooperative Extension Service facility. IU will control its medical school on campus.
IU will take responsibility for faculty transferring from the Purdue side and will provide the same salary and benefits. IU will identify all full-time administrative and clerical staffers it wants to employ. Purdue will consult with IU in approving hiring that affects the IU mission during the transition year.
The schools will identify personal property to transfer or sublease to the other. The land underneath the medical education building will go to IU, and the land under other campus buildings goes to Purdue. Undeveloped property and parking lots will continue to be owned jointly.
The two universities will have separate community advisory councils "consistent with the function historically served by the IPFW Community Advisory Council." The IPFW Foundation will exist to primarily support Purdue.
School academic calendars "should match as closely as possible in order to best serve all affected students," the agreement states.
Many IPFW faculty members are still disappointed that IPFW is going away but have accepted it and are trying to make the best of the new arrangement, said Malanson, the IPFW faculty leader.
"As someone who was skeptical as to how all of this would work … overall I've been pleased with how the universities have worked together and how Purdue has been really looking out for IPFW's best interests in trying to usher this through," Malanson added.
In an email to the campus community, Chancellor Vicky Carwein called the agreement a critical step in the realignment.
"This university is proud of its legacy and remains committed to removing barriers to learning and developing innovative ways to provide a world-class education that makes an impact in northeast Indiana – and beyond," her statement said.

Colombia: Epidemic Hits Nomadic Amazon Tribe
20 September 2006
Colombia: Epidemic Hits Nomadic Amazon Tribe
The nomadic Nukak tribe, who fled their
jungle homes after being
caught up in Colombia's civil war, have been hit by a flu epidemic.
Almost a quarter of
the tribe have fallen ill, and at least three
have been taken to hospital in the nearest town.
Experts fear that
further epidemics are likely unless the Nukak can
be returned to their own territory. Flu and malaria have already
killed half the tribe since they were first contacted in 1988; just
500 Nukak survive.
The crisis
comes after the Nukak refugees were moved from their
encampment on the edge of a town to a new home in the jungle.
Their new camp is just 2% of the size of their own
territory and they
continue to live in fear of armed conflict between the Colombian
army, paramilitaries, and guerrillas. Health experts had warned that
settling 200 Nukak in one place was likely to lead to outbreaks of
disease, since traditionally the Nukak live in small, nomadic groups.
The Nukak's wild food is in short supply
at their new camp; the
forest there does not contain any of the trees necessary to make the
blowpipes and poison that they need to hunt meat, and there are few
fish in the rivers. Their own territory contains abundant natural
Survival's Director,
Stephen Corry, said today, 'It is absolutely
essential that the Colombian government finds a way to let the Nukak
return to their own land, otherwise they will not survive in the long

With his first son just born, filmmaker Andrew Nisker is very concerned with the state of our planet.

ReCore Definitive Edition appears in the rating board of Germany
Microsoft might announce soon Recore Definitive Edition. The new version of the exclusive Xbox One and Windows 10 PC game has in fact appeared in "ratings" of USK, the German institution of categorization.
USK (the body which is responsible for rating the video games in Germany) has included in its database Recore Definitive Edition, final version of the same title not yet announced by Microsoft.
As you can see from a little further down in the link above, Recore: Definitive Edition is currently scheduled (again according to the USK) only for Xbox One. It is likely that all this will be confirmed shortly, the DLC in question being still awaited at the beginning of 2017.
Recore was published in September 2016 on Xbox One and Windows 10, receiving a warm welcome by critics and audiences. This new edition should contain the full game and some additional content unspecified (probably a new arena and a bot unpublished) that is due out early in the year.
ReCore has been available since September and players are still waiting for additional content after finding zones on the map that are not yet finished.
For the moment, the publisher has not announced officially Recore Definitive Edition, so we look forward to learn more.

UK-based disability charities have called on Prime Minister David Cameron to put disabled people at the heart of international development plans.
Christian Aid has welcomed the announcement of a UK event in 2013 on food and hunger, which currently afflicts some 870 million people globally.
Development agency Progressio is calling on PM David Cameron to listen to the voices of the world's poorest in upcoming poverty discussions.
Writing in the Observer on 14 October, the paper's chief political correspondent Andrew Rawnsley presented readers with a composite of the speeches given by the leaders of the three main parties at their recent conferences. It is an amusing swipe at the banalities and dog-whistles of political rhetoric, which you can read here: http://bit.ly/UVtj78 but it is also a reminder of something ugly and delusional which underlies that rhetoric.
The government wants "To set our country back on the path to prosperity that all can share in" and "mend a broken society", claimed UK Prime Minister David Cameron at the Conservative Party conference on 10 October. Despite national policies inflicting deepening misery on the poorest in society, and promises by his ministers of more of the same, he was seeking to portray his leadership as compassionate and inclusive.
Ten charities have signed a joint letter to the Prime Minister in response to proposals to cut housing benefit for under 25s.
"Money pads the edges of things" says Helen Schlegel, a character in EM Forster's Howards End. And where there is no padding, those edges can be very sharp indeed.
In a speech urging further cuts to welfare, UK Prime Minister David Cameron once again tried to win support by making out that those receiving benefits have too easy a time. He claimed that, of those receiving Disability Living Allowance, "incredibly, half of new claimants never had to provide medical evidence". This is indeed incredible, in the sense that it should not be believed.
Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) has condemned David Cameron's latest arms sales trip to Asia, especially his attempts to sell more weapons to Indonesia
Action not bluster is needed from the government on "Cash for Cameron" questions, says a major UK campaign for political reform.

Fly Golden Eagle Ready "Quartz" LP For October 14th
Normally, when a band releases a triple LP, I usually tell them to fuck off, because c'mon – double LPs can be tedious enough as is, but a triple LPs can catch a boat to fuckoffity land. Yet, like most rules, I'll break them from time to time.
Fly Golden Eagle has been one of my favorite local bands for a while now. Simply put, they're a great band that has great tunes that makes girls want to dance. What's not to like? Hell, they're one of the few bands that can call their debut album Swagger and have it live up to its name. In a scene that can get stale sometimes, that's fucking impressive.
After a three year interval, the band is getting ready to drop their latest effort, Quartz. Armed with 26 tracks (and available in an abridged pack of 12), the band describes the album as "latent with ancient and future notions" and claims that it can be synched up with Alejandro Jodowrowsky's iconic film The Holy Mountain. To celebrate the October 14th release, the band is hitting the road and dropping a live video for the heavenly-sounding track, "Horse's Mouth." You can give it a watch below, hear the cleaner studio cut of said track, and peep the tour dates to see if they're coming to your city (no Nashville show yet, but I'm sure we'll when they come home). You can also preorder the album from ATO Records official shop HERE.

We have plenty of transportation options here in Vancouver. There are lot of busses and the Skytrain to get you where you need to go. Here is what to expect when you ride the bus, Skytrain or Seabus.
Depending on where you are, busses come at different times and it is important to know when to catch the bus. You can find bus schedules and other information at: http://www.translink.ca/
This is the website for all of Vancouver's transportation. It can tell you where to catch a bus, or if there is a major delay.
Riding the Bus or SkyTrain
If you ride the bus or Skytrain, you will need a ticket. We have a re-loadable card called the Compass card, and you use it to tap in and out of the Skytrain, or onto the bus. You can buy Compass cards at any Sktrain stations, or at any store that sells translink tickets, like convenience stores. If you don't have a Compass card, you can still ride public transit, but you will need to buy a ticket. On the bus, you must insert the correct change (cash) as you get on the bus. A paper transfer will be printed for you.
Unfortunately, you cannot use that paper ticket on the Skytrain, so you must buy another ticket at the ticket machine at the station. You can buy one use tickets at the Skytrain if you don't want a Compass card. The ticket you buy at the Skytrain station can be used on the train or on a bus as many times as you want for 90mins.
The Skytrain has different zones, and you pay depending on where you are and where you're going. If you travel anywhere in one zone or on any bus, you pay $2.75. If you're on the train and you travel into a different zone, you must pay different amounts depending on how many zones you travel to, so be careful and make sure you buy the correct ticket. There are signs at every station and workers that can help you.
Usually, Vancouver's busses are on time, but it is still important to get to your bus stop early. You can never be quite sure when your bus will come because they are not always on time. It is also not unusual for busses to be 3-10 minutes late. Despite this, public transportation is actually quite reliable in Vancouver. The Skytrain usually runs every 5-7 minutes, so if you miss your first train, the next one will soon follow.
What to Expect on the Bus
On Vancouver transportation, there are some things you should expect that may be different from your home country. For example, you can eat, talk on your phone and even bring a bike! When you do these things, it is important to be polite to the people around you.
Make sure your food is not too messy. You do not want to spill food everywhere. Also make sure it is not too smelly. It can bother other passengers.
When talking on the phone, try to speak quietly. Do not yell into your phone. Because it can be hard to hear the person you are talking to, it is best to use your phone before you get on the bus, or after you get off.
Also, people are allowed to bring strollers or bikes onto public transit. Busses have bike racks on the front. So if you want to take your bike on the bus, you first put your bike on the rack, then get on the bus and pay your fare. There is no extra cost.
You can also bring your bike on with you on the Skytrain, but not during rush hour. On Mondays to Fridays, between 7am to 9am heading west, and 4pm to 6pm heading east, you cannot bring your bike on the Skytrain because it is too crowded. On the weekends, you can bring a bike with you at any time. Perfect for heading downtown to Stanley Park. 🙂
Taking public transportation in Vancouver is usually very safe, but it is best to be careful. If you ever feel threatened by another person while on the bus or skytrain, talk to a transit staff member. They will be able to help you.
Public transportation like busses, Skytrain or Seabus are great ways to see the city of Vancouver and are quite reliable. How does it compare to the transportation at home?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth Warren lament the lack of 'feminist analysis' in 'Game of Thrones' finale.
"I feel like we were getting so close to having this ending with just women running the world and then the last two episodes it's like, 'Oh, they're too emotional."

132 ページ - A thousand spurs are striking deep, a thousand spears in rest, A thousand knights are pressing close behind the snow-white crest; And in they burst, and on they rushed, while, like a guiding star, Amidst the thickest carnage blazed the helmet of Navarre.
132 ページ - He looked upon his people, and a tear was in his eye ; He looked upon the traitors, and his glance was stern and high. Right graciously he smiled on us, as rolled from wing to wing Down all our line, a deafening shout, " God save our Lord the King...
130 ページ - Lincoln sped the message on o'er the wide vale of Trent ; Till Skiddaw saw the fire that burned on Gaunt's embattled pile, And the red glare on Skiddaw roused the burghers of Carlisle.
127 ページ - Aurigny's isle, At earliest twilight, on the waves lie heaving many a mile. At sunrise she escaped their van, by God's especial grace ; And the tall Pinta till the noon had held her close in chase. Forthwith a guard at every gun was placed along the wall ; The beacon blazed upon the roof of Edgecumbe's lofty hall ; Many a light fishing-bark put out to pry along the coast, And with loose rein and bloody spur rode inland many a post.
127 ページ - Look how the Lion of the sea lifts up his ancient crown, And underneath his deadly paw treads the gay lilies down. So stalked he when he turned to flight, on that famed Picard field, Bohemia's plume, and Genoa's bow, and Caesar's eagle shield.
38 ページ - Their van will be upon us Before the bridge goes down; And if they once may win the bridge, What hope to save the town? ' Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the gate : 'To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late; And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers And the temples of his Gods...
136 ページ - Alsatia, and pages of Whitehall; They are bursting on our flanks. Grasp your pikes, close your ranks, For Rupert never comes but to conquer or to fall. They are here! They rush on! We are broken! We are gone! Our left is borne before them like stubble on the blast. O Lord, put forth thy might! O Lord, defend the right! Stand back to back, in God's name, and fight it to the last.

Is it better to hill potatoes or not?
During the dry time of the year potatoes should be grown with flat
cultivation, except as it may be necessary to furrow out between the
rows for the application of irrigation water. Potatoes grown during the
rainy season in places where there is liable to be too much water, can
often be hilled to advantage, but dry-season cultivation of practically
everything should be as flat as possible to retain moisture near the
surface for the development of shallow-rooting plants.

Last week was the Taipei In Style fashion fair and I will be soon posting photos about the house shows I attended. There I met Oscar, he was with a friend (who will also star a post very soon), and his style immediately caught my eye.
He was wearing a black T-shirt over a white buttoned shirt, black leather shorts, black leggings, and black and white sneakers. Oscar's complements were his Samsung camera, big black sunglasses, some golden necklaces, a golden bracelet, and a silver handbag.

The simple answer to that question, "What is Iritis?" is that it is an inflammation of the iris! Yup! Not so informative, but I wanted to get something written down today – I wanted to give some more information about this eye condition.
These Iritis blog entries are not photography related, but I feel a responsibility to share whatever information I can find about Iritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, AAU (Acute Anterior Uveitis) and RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis), because these affect me.
http://nawfalnur.wordpress.com/ (A look into my photography, special projects and my scannography project).
As a photographer, a person who sits in front of the computer for many hours at a time, and a person who gets recurring Iritis, the combination is quite frustrating – AND PAINFUL!
Moderation, that is one of the keys. Yes, moderation.
For a more detailed answer to what Iritis is, I found a good answer from Robert H. Shmerling, M.D., who is an associate physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School. He answers a question about, "What is the link between RA and these eye conditions?"
Click here for the link to Dr. Shmerling's answer. The answer comes from an HONcode Web-site, and this is a really cool NGO that gives a sort of accreditation to Medical Web-sites to make sure the information is accurate and medically sound.
Thus, if I link to any sites with information of a 'medical nature', I'll attempt to find sites that have the HONcode logo, or some other type of accredited source.
Anyway, if I can find medical advice from PROFESSIONALS in the field (of whatever topic), then I'll attempt to find the information to share and provide a link.
Otherwise, I'll just be continuing to share some of my own thoughts and experiences on the topic of Iritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Being a Photographer with Iritis and AS…

Loch an Iasaich, Attadale
This straightforward walk heads up an attractive stratch before climbing a hydro road. It then follows old tracks through forestry, giving good views of the surrounding mountains. Hydro track construction has scarred the climb but Loch an Iasaich is a peaceful spot before the route descends through woodland and back along the valley with the opportunity to visit the impressive Attadale Gardens.
Minor road and large track for approach; old tracks which can be wet in the forestry parts. Fairly steep climb up to the Loch and descent back to Attadale.
Public Transport
Attadale train station (Inverness-Kyle line) short walk along A890 from start.
Parking just off the A890 at turning for Attadale Gardens.

'America's Got Talent' Judges Reveal Their Top Contestant Picks
It takes guts to stand onstage in a packed theater and put on the performance of a lifetime — especially when America's Got Talent judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Mel B are ready to critique your every move. But that's exactly what these five acts (four of them singers!) did during the Season 13 audition rounds of NBC's talent-hunting competition.
And they all earned themselves a Golden Buzzer for it, a concept introduced in Season 9, where each judge — plus host Tyra Banks and four guest judges — chooses one outstanding performer to skip straight to the live rounds, which begin August 14. (The live-results shows kick off August 15.)
3 'America's Got Talent' Acts to Watch This Season (VIDEOS)
"There's always tension when you see somebody doing something really great," executive producer Sam Donnelly says. "It's like, 'Is anyone going to press the Golden Buzzer?!'"
In addition to the five contestants featured here, the Voices of Hope Children's Choir and the Angel City Chorale were given the gold, er, green light by guest judges Ken Jeong and Olivia Munn, respectively, during the Judge Cuts rounds. (Two more express passes will be handed out by the end of the August 7 episode.)
Donnelly promises the judges' picks come from the heart, without any interference from producers. "We don't brief the judges," he says. "They literally react, in that instant, to whoever connects with them." Cowell, also an executive producer, says the decisions were extra tough this season: "I say it every time, but we really do have some of the most incredible acts I've seen this year."
WATCH: Howie Mandel Reveals His Hidden Talent & the Superpower He'd Love to Have
Mandel sums up the high of striking the buzzer and sending confetti raining down on the performer: "When the moment is happening, it [touches] every single emotion: surprise, dismay, excitement — and then you just hit it."
Makayla Phillips
Heidi's Pick
Klum, the last of the core four to make her selection, finally committed after 15-year-old singer Phillips performed Demi Lovato's pop ballad "Warrior." "When Makayla started singing, I couldn't help but smile," Klum says. "I instantly got this feeling that she was something special."
And what about that confetti-filled moment when Phillips realized what she'd accomplished? "It felt like the world stood still," the Californian says.
Courtney Hadwin
Howie's Pick
"Courtney is the next big thing," Mandel says of the 13-year-old British vocalist. Hadwin, who has appeared on shows like The Voice Kids UK, says getting picked as a Golden Buzzer was "like a dream come true."
Mandel is confident in his choice. "During the first two weeks [of the season], the video [of her audition] had over 400 million hits online. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that she is hitting a nerve."
A 'Glee' Star on 'America's Got Talent' & More Famous TV Show Contestants (VIDEO)
Amanda Mena
Mel B.'s Pick
The former Spice Girl selected Mena, 15, who shared onstage that she'd once been bullied after her family moved from the Dominican Republic to the U.S. Mena then performed a soulful rendition of "Natural Woman." "With Mel as a singer, a mom and a woman, it just all came together," producer Donnelly says.
Mena is doing loads of prep for the next round. "The music team and producers have gone through at least 18 songs with me to pick the perfect one," she says.
Michael Ketterer
Simon's Pick
The Tennessee native, sweet-voiced pediatric mental health nurse and dad of six immediately tugged at the heartstrings of viewers, and Cowell, with an emotional performance of the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody."
"There was something about Michael that was so real and authentic," Cowell says. "I think the public is going to root for him." Says Ketterer, "My hope is that America will connect with my voice and story and be inspired to embrace love."
Tyra's Pick
This 48-member acrobatic group from Austria, led by Peterson da Cruz Hora, wowed Banks right away. But can they up the ante? "We used our best moves during the audition," Hora says. "We've had to build up new choreography — our heads are crazy right now!"

Kelly Fast, Ph.D.
Kelly Fast grew up with views of both the Hollywood sign and the Griffith Observatory outside her bedroom window. The observatory view won out, and instead of going out on Saturday nights, she would set up her telescope to look at whatever could be seen through the Los Angeles light pollution.
Kelly received her B.S. in Astrophysics from UCLA and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Astronomy from the University of Maryland, College Park. She investigated ozone and atmospheric chemistry on Mars, winds on Titan, and the effects on Jupiter's stratosphere of small body impacts as an astronomer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center before coming to NASA Headquarters in 2011.
Kelly is the Near-Earth Object Observations Program Manager in the Planetary Defense Coordination Office in the Planetary Science Division. Previously a visiting astronomer at NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Maunakea, Hawai'i, she is also now the IRTF Program Scientist and a Discipline Scientist for NASA's Solar System Observations Program. She previously served as Program Scientist for the MAVEN mission to Mars and she led NASA's Planetary Astronomy and Planetary Atmospheres Programs.

The Average Adult Wakes Up Grumpy10 months, 3 weeks ago
Posted on Dec 06, 2019, 5 p.m.
Waking up "on the wrong side of the bed" is not really a great experience, but it inevitably happens to all of us from time to time. According to a recent study of 2,000 Americans most people rarely wake up in a good mood, findings suggest that the average American will wake up to morning madness 300 times a year, that only leaves 65 for good mornings.
This suggests that approximately 6 out of 7 days a week our mornings are disgruntled. A good portion of the grumpiness is linked to nighttime disruptions due to waking up because of temperature issues around 3 times a week, and outside noise or a nightmare at least once a week.
According to the survey respondents report getting a full uninterrupted night of sleep for less than a quarter of the time annually. The other three quarters Americans spend around 90 minutes tossing and turning on average each sleep; respondents reported waking up on average 2 times a night, staying awake for 45 minutes each time.
It is not surprising that with all the lack of sleep and interruptions that 71% of the respondents report needing to find ways to get better and more sleep on a regular basis to combat their morning madness and irritation.
Anxiety and stress keep 31% of the respondents from sleeping as well as trips to use the bathroom come in high at keeping 75% of the respondents awake. 30% of the respondents with partners report snoring as a sleep factor, 31% report bedtime differences, and 19% report that their partner tossing and turning keeps them awake.
Having a partner doesn't mean that it is all bad because 67% of those in a relationship say they still prefer to sleep snuggled up alongside their partner, but that does mean almost a quarter of them still like sleeping alone. Respondents in a realtionship also suggest that romance is not dead as 42% report that having sex helps them sleep and on average they are intimate 1-2 times per week.
Respondents report being woken by their pets at least once a week; 60% of pet owners allow their pets to sleep in their bed and 23% of the respondents with children allow their kids to routinely sleep with them.
33% of the respondents report sleeping poorly after talking about or bringing professional work into the bedroom, or checking emails before bed, and another third report scrolling on social media affects their sleep in a negative manner.
43% of the respondents report that watching TV helps them to drift off to slumber town, 41% report that mediation helps them to catch dust from the sleep fairy, and 47% report that reading helps them to enjoy time with the Sandman in Snooze City.
"Sleeping well on a consistent basis can be a tall task," says Ann Crady Weiss, co-founder and CEO of Hatch. "Good quality sleep is so important for maintaining our health, yet there are so many factors, from daily stresses and varying environments to pre-bedtime activities, that can disrupt a good night's sleep."

Dear SFF Community,
Though spread across the globe, we come together around our passion for science and fantasy fiction. As such, our community must be supportive of one another—be strong enough to stand up in defence of those who cannot, or fear to, speak in their own.
This past week has seen a test of that community, of that family, spirit, and on our shared values. We look for heroes to praise and we seek villains to despise. Throughout it all we desire that good triumph over evil, that the right and just shall be victorious, and we know that every story must test its characters. Sometimes we mistake our heroes for villains, and sometimes neither are easy to identify as they live within the grey.
However, this story is real and real stories have real people at their centre, real consequences to real actions. Reputations, hard earned, can be lost in the beat of a heart or press of a keyboard. Careers, long sought, can be put in jeopardy by the callous words and actions of another.
These past years have rightly seen, the far too long delayed, rise of the #METOO movement, of victims coming forward to speak their stories, to be believed, and for those responsible to be brought to justice. It is important, now as it always has been, for people to feel able to come forward, for their allegations to be investigated, to verify the facts, and for the proper action to be taken.
You will have seen some apologies be issued, some posts on other prominent blogs about the issues raised this past week.
We, and other blogs, were presented with the findings of an investigation into the allegations made against Ed McDonald, an author in our community. We have interrogated those investigations, asked questions of the findings and ourselves, and we stand by those findings.
Fantasy-Faction has seen irrefutable evidence that the allegations against Ed McDonald have been falsified. We are now aware that Ed McDonald has been targeted for online harassment and abuse, and that there is irrefutable evidence of this. The evidence proves beyond all doubt that one or two individuals have utilised multiple social accounts with the express purpose of spreading malicious rhetoric against Ed McDonald, making it appear that 'reports' are coming from numerous sources, where in fact they all come from a single source.
This source has never met Ed McDonald. It is now very clear that Ed McDonald has been exposed to a long and malicious campaign by someone who has abused the trust and confidence of people, over and over.
– – –
In light of this evidence, it is asked that members of the fantasy community:
– Do not name the individuals behind the allegations—even if you suspect who they are. The individuals do not deserve any further attention. Their names have not been mentioned here on purpose.
– Do not pursue the individual(s) behind the allegations. Do not cause them any distress. Doing so may impact pending legal action.
– Welcome Ed McDonald as a member of the community. Any further harassment will not be tolerated.
To prevent gossip, the following overview has been provided to summarise these events:
– A number of social media accounts across multiple platforms have been linked to either one, or at most two, individuals behind the allegations.
– These accounts use different personas (including names, real world locations and background information).
– These accounts have pretended to be different individuals to spread falsified allegations in open and closed groups, and in private chats.
– These accounts have made comments in support of posts made by each other, as well as shares and likes.
– At least one account is in a position of authority in a public internet forum. This authority was abused throughout this case, and ultimately Ed McDonald was banned from the forum after he tried to defend himself against the allegations.
– – –
Every person who has suffered abuse has the right to tell their story, to be believed, cared for, and their allegations investigated. When demonstrably false reports are made it undermines the victims of true abuse, it tarnishes them, corrodes our belief in the due process of law.
It must not.
It cannot be allowed to.
We must stand with those who have suffered and support them through it all. As readers, and writers, we love our stories—our fictional stories of good and evil, right and wrong, heroes and dragons. This is not one of those stories, there is little to love here.

Delivering an Exceptional Patient Experience
Research shows that patients are happier and healthier when they are involved in their care. That's why we are committed to collaborating with our patients so the care we provide is reflective of their needs both in the Health Centre and the community. Creating exceptional patient experiences means considering all elements of a patient's time with us – so we are challenging ourselves to make sure patient perspectives inform everything we do.
Reduced wait times
Our Emergency Department (ED) is one of the busiest in the GTA. Last fall, we introduced an innovative new model to reduce wait times: Our new Supertrack model provides assessment and care to over half of the patients that come through the ED. Patients are seen by a physician and nurse team within 30 minutes on average and most return home in less than 2 hours – creating a better experience for everyone.
Involved our community in shaping their care
We've found new ways to bring the patient voice into the Health Centre by launching our first Community Engagement Council (CEC). This diverse group of residents lives across more than 15 neighbourhoods that we serve. Since the CEC came together last fall, they've worked on a number of projects including developing a new patient-staff commitment agreement and provided valuable input on our Quality Improvement Plan.
Open visiting hours bring patients and families closer together
Recognizing how important a support system is before and after a hospital stay, we changed our policy to give family members and loved ones the option to visit anytime a patient is ready to see them. Open visiting hours make it easier for patients to connect with people who play an important role in their recovery process. This is just one of the ways we're prioritizing the needs of patients in everything we do.
Twenty years ago, Leticia Queano and her family moved to Canada from the Philippines and settled into the vibrant neighbourhood of Parkdale – the place she's called home ever since.
As Leticia's family has grown, St. Joe's has been there to meet their healthcare needs. Both of her grandchildren were born at the Health Centre and have received care for everything from seizures to regular vaccinations.
"We've been coming here for so long, it feels like everyone knows us," said Bianca, Leticia's eldest grandchild. "When I decided to have kids, I knew I was going to go to St. Joe's – it's the place I trust."
Dr. Daphne Williams, a family doctor with our award-winning Urban Family Health Team, currently cares for 10 family members across four generations. Over the past 25 years, she's cared for Leticia's family alongside our family health team, an interprofessional group of physicians, nurses, a dietitian, a pharmacist, a social worker and a mental health outreach worker among others.
"One of the best parts of my job is developing relationships with my patients. The opportunity to care for someone over their lifetime – from a young child right up until they are an adult with their own kids is really special – it's like you're part of the family," Dr. Williams said.

Accommodation in Quito
The majority of visitors to Quito stay in the new town, where there's a huge choice of accommodation in all price ranges. The area is also lively after dark, and convenient for changing money, booking tours and sorting out laundry. Many streets are noisy, so it's always worth asking for a back room.
Thanks to its ongoing regeneration, staying in the old town is becoming a genuine alternative, especially if you have the money to splash out on one of several new luxurious colonial conversions. Just accept that you can't explore freely after dark beyond the central heart in the blocks around the Plaza Independencia.
Wherever you stay, it's always best to take a taxi from your arrival point straight to your hotel and to avoid wandering the streets with your luggage. The following accommodation is marked on the maps.
The new town
Most new town accommodation is in the downtown zone of La Mariscal, with the biggest concentration on the streets around José Calama, where new hostales keep springing up all the time. There are lots of restaurants, internet cafés and a steady stream of backpackers around here too.
The old town
Accommodation in the old town can be less expensive than in the new town, though many of the cheapest places are quite unsavoury, particularly those around the bus terminal. Yet the recent smartening up of the colonial centre has seen the appearance of a new generation of luxury hotels and exclusive restaurants in refurbished historic buildings, outstripping anything the new town has to offer for antique charm with both comfort and location. Still, the old town remains behind the new town in terms of quantity and variety of services – but the reward is waking up in the very heart of things and not feeling as if you're surrounded by hundreds of gringos.
Outskirts of Quito
If the hurly-burly of the city centre is too daunting, you could consider lodging in any of several good hotels on the outskirts of town, where you'll have the benefits of a more peaceful and spacious setting, but still be within range to visit the city sights.

The debate over voter ID has raged for years but this time around we'll be seeing more state-level voter ID laws enacted than any previous election. States such as Virginia and Pennsylvania, among others, have implemented voter ID laws which could create new scenarios in vote counting.
Report from the Dallas Morning News:
The presidential election is Nov. 6, but it could take days to figure out the winner if the vote is close. New voting laws are likely to increase the number of people who have to cast provisional ballots in key states.
Tight races for Congress, governor and local offices also could be stuck in limbo while election officials scrutinize ballots, a scenario that would surely attract legions of campaign lawyers from both parties.
"It's a possibility of a complete meltdown for the election," said Daniel Smith, a political scientist at the University of Florida.
Voters cast provisional ballots for a variety of reasons: They don't bring proper ID to the polls; they fail to update their voter registration after moving; they try to vote at the wrong precinct; or their right to vote is challenged by someone.
These voters may have their votes counted, but only if election officials can verify that they were eligible to vote, a process that can take days or weeks. Adding to the potential for chaos: Many states won't even know how many provisional ballots have been cast until sometime after Election Day.
Voters cast nearly 2.1 million provisional ballots in the 2008 presidential election. About 69 percent were eventually counted, according to election results compiled by The Associated Press.
New election laws in competitive states like Virginia, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will probably increase the number of provisional ballots in those states this year, according to voting experts, although the new laws in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are being challenged in court.
New voter ID laws in states like Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee could affect state or local elections, though some of those laws also are being challenged.
The argument in favor of tighter voter ID laws have to do with electoral integrity. You must provide ID to rent a car, visit your doctor or any number of other things. Therefore, is it too much to ask that you prove you're legally able to vote in the district in which you're attempting to vote?
On the other hand, do voter ID requirements disenfranchise the most vulnerable in society by placing an undue burden on them prior to visiting the polling place? Does a voter ID requirement amount to a "poll tax" of sorts by requiring an individual provide some form of ID prior to being counted?


text: (Reuters) – Microsoft Corps shares scaled levels last seen in the dotcom boom on Tuesday following reports that the company plans to unveil an iPad version of its Office software suite, potentially generating billions of dollars in revenue. Reuters reported on Monday that Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella would unveil the iPad app at an event on March 27 as part of the new CEOs mobile first cloud first strategy. Microsoft has had iPad and iPhone versions of Office primed for several months now, sources told Reuters, but the company has dallied on their release due to internal divisions, among other things. Analysts said the lack of an Office version for the iPad may have robbed Microsoft billions of dollars in revenue.

Religious group representatives such as Hare Krishnas and other solicitors are now banned from seeking donations at Los Angeles International Airport.
A decision by the United States Court of Appeals July 7 has lifted a preliminary injunction imposed in 1997, allowing Los Angeles Airport Police to enforce a Los Angeles City ordinance prohibiting solicitation and the receipt of funds in the terminals, parking areas, and adjacent sidewalks at the airport.
"This is a huge step forward in ensuring the comfort and safety of the traveling public at LAX," said Los Angeles World Airports Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsey. "From now on the traveling public will not have to worry about solicitors asking for money."
The Los Angeles City Council approved the solicitation ban at the airport April 1, 1997, but a lawsuit by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness of California halted the law's enforcement for more than a decade.
After the California Supreme Court upheld the city's ordinance on March 25 and following the subsequent appellate court ruling, groups such as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness of California will be prohibited from soliciting and receiving funds in the terminals, parking areas, and adjacent sidewalks at LAX.
Under the ordinance, organizations still can distribute literature and speak to willing travelers, as well as seek financial support as long as they not request the immediate exchange of funds.
Anuttama Dasa, a governing body commissioner for the Society for Krishna Consciousness, said on the organization's Web site that the group is disappointed with the court decision because it "limits our ability to contact people and share our faith and spiritual literature."
Los Angeles Airport Police Chief George Centeno said the recent lifting of the court injunction means "airport police law enforcement can enforce our city's laws."
"This ruling allows us to exercise a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to solicitors asking for immediate donations at LAX," the chief said.
Violators face a penalty of up to six months in jail or a fine of $1,000, if convicted.

A perfect blend of Western influence and traditional Arabic culture, Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh is rapidly becoming a favourite tourist destination in the Middle East.
Taking its name from the Shakespearean theatre, the Globe is on par with the most exclusive luxury establishments in the city like Ascott Rafal Olaya Riyadh. It is a romantic place with a view that can leave you breathless, and a menu that will leave no one wanting. Why the restaurant is named the Globe is self-evident upon seeing the place, as it is a spherical glass dome perched atop the Al Faisaliah Tower. You can enjoy a selection of Arabic cuisine or fine dining the Western style. It is necessary that you make a prior reservation, though, as it is very much in demand.
If you are into secluded dining, you are better off enjoying a meal in the privacy of serviced apartments in Riyadh. However, if you are looking for an interactive experience, you must pay a visit to Elements. While you take your pick from their expansive menu that spans across different cuisines, their well-experienced chefs provide entertainment by whipping up your dishes at their live action stations. It is a cosmopolitan location with a strong sense of vibrancy that takes dining as an experience to a whole new level.
Spazio is endorsed by the royalty itself, and is the favourite dining spot of Prince Waleed bin Tala. It specialises in Italian cuisine, while at the centre is a sushi bar, thus incorporating the orient into its mix. Spazio has a great view too but is at its best during sunset. Being located in the second tallest building in Saudi Arabia, it is little wonder that guests love to dine here in the night. You can take a post-dinner walk on the sky bridge to complete the otherworldly dining experience that is Spazio.
Najid Village is a restaurant that takes its name from Riyadh's old name. It was established in 1996 and is one of the oldest restaurants on this list. They serve traditional Saudi fare, in the most traditional manner. Although they do serve both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, the decor of the place strictly adheres to Islamic traditions and customs. It is a place to visit if you are looking for an authentic experience. However, it is best to read up on the traditions of Islamic dining before your visit.
A blend of three different styles - Egyptian, Lebanese, and Syrian - Set Al-Sham is popular for private dining. You can request for dining in private and be seated in a room with intricately designed lanterns, wooden furniture, and a Syrian vibe. It is more about intimate dining and is a good place for a couple or for an anniversary celebration. Unlike the other restaurant on the list, though, Set AL Sham serves buffet which is prepared in the Middle Eastern Style. This means that Set Al-Sham is a good place to visit if you are able to eat well and would like to taste the diversity of Arabic cuisine. Although there will be a lot of deserts to choose from, make sure that you have at least a bite of umm ali - their speciality.

All Hail King Jo
My advice to DeAndre Ayton – don't respond to Joel Embiid.
The NBA draft doesn't get the buildup or the buzz that the NFL draft does, but that doesn't mean it's not one hell of a show. Because it is. Even though it was obvious that DeAndre Ayton would go number one to Phoenix, there was still plenty of suspense.
Where would Luka Doncic go? How many teams would regret passing on the youngest euroleague MVP ever? Would teams be scared off by Michael Porter Jr.'s health? Would teams be scared off by Trae Young's suit? And was there any chance that Kawhi would be dealt?
We got answers to all those questions, but really, last night was a coronation of not one, but two kings. And neither of them drafted.
And the first King picked up his crown fairly early in the night. That ruler's name? Joel Hans Embiid. All hail King Jo. Because this is a guy who not only dominates on the court, he dominates when he isn't even near a court.
I'm not sure if he planned on tweeting during the draft, but I'm glad he did, because when comparisons were made between DeAndre Ayton and Joel Embiid, tweets were fired back. Starting with:
And then he chased that with:
Don't compare Ayton to me either... I play DEFENSE.
He's already talking junk about a guy who hasn't even played a second of summer league, let alone an actual NBA game. And I couldn't love it more. You know who else loved it? Draymond Green, who tweeted:
With six crown and five laughing emoji's. You know you've killing social when Draymond enjoys your smack. And this is the thing about Joel Embiid. He can steal the show any damn time he wants to steal the show. And while I know he hates wearing his protective mask, I love the image of him blasting out those tweets with that mask on his head.
That's how good he is at twitter. He's as good at twitter as he is at basketball and he's one of the most gifted basketball players to ever step on a court. He's so good at twitter, that his tweets about the World Cup almost have me watching the World Cup. Almost.
My advice to DeAndre Ayton – don't respond to Joel Embiid. Certainly not on Twitter. Just go out and do your thing. Because Twitter is Jo's thing and you not getting over on him there. Nobody wis.
The only guy who can match Jo's Twitter game is one Adrian Wojnarowski. The report before the draft was that Woj and other reporters were told not to report the picks before they happened so as to not jerk with the TV broadcast of the draft. Which was too bad, because in previous years, the best part of the draft was always Woj tweeting the picks before they were made. And doing it so quickly, it wouldn't surprise me if he knew who a team was taking before the team knew who they were taking. The NBA Draft was his night and nobody could beat him or stop him.
But that was off for last night. He was not going to tweet out that Team X was going to draft Player Y. And he didn't. He didn't report any picks. He just said that teams were "enamored" or "tantalized" or "targeting" certain players. And what do you know – they took those guys.
At a certain point, the drama was less about which team was drafting which player from which school and more about which word Woj was drafting from his thesaurus. The combo of Woj and Roget had a huge night. They were absolutely unstoppable in the two-man game – explosive, dynamic, and unpredictable. If a team wasn't tantalized by a player, they were "fixated," "locked in," or "focused on."
He reported that Portland "has a laser on Anfernee Simons," and whoa, they drafted him. But nothing will top this masterpiece "Source: Utah Jazz have no plans to pass on Grayson Allen with the 21st pick."
He didn't say they were going to draft him, he just say they had no plans to pass on him. Very well played. Very well played. Perfection. And yet again, the NBA draft belonged to Woj. I mean, sure, there were no blockbuster deals. And the Spurs didn't move Kawhi Leonard. But it really didn't matter. Not as long as Woj and Jo Embiid were there. The NBA draft will never be the NFL draft but as long as Woj and Jo show up for it every single year, the Assn. Will be just fine. Can't wait to see the Woj rule they enact next year to skirt this issue. Whatever it is, it won't work. They're playing checkers, he's playing chess and he'll always be one step ahead.

Question #fe66e
1 Answer
Mar 11, 2017
If the net force on the object is zero
This means that there are either no forces acting on the object, or (more likely) that the forces acting are counteracting each other, both in size and direction.
If I'm standing on a floor, gravity is pulling me down. My weight pushes in the floor. The spring power of the floor is pushing me up.
If the floor is strong enough, these two powers will be in exact equilibrium, so there's no net force acting upon me.
(if the floor isn't strong enough, the force of gravity will prevail, the floor will break, and I will be accererated...).
This part of physics (where forces are in equilibrium) is called statics.
