Inductive Heating of a Billet Simulation Tutorial
Induction occurs when a metal object moves in the presence of a magnetic field inducing a current in that object. The induced current causes it to heat up (called inductive heating), as all current does. Yet, simulating these two coupled physics together can be difficult to do as they are intrinsically based on different time scales. COMSOL Multiphysics is able to cleverly simulate them through combining the frequency domain modeling of the magnetic field with a stationary simulation of the heat transfer, using its Inductive Heating interface. Since actions speak louder than words, we have included a video tutorial of this interaction for your viewing.
Inductive Heating of a Steel Billet
As a follow-up to the live Transformer and Inductor webinar hosted on February 7th with IEEE Spectrum, we have created a video of one of the demos to share with everyone here on the blog. The tutorial above shows the building of a steel billet model, using the Inductive Heating interface in the AC/DC Module. First, the geometry is added using a previously made geometry sequence. Then, the materials are chosen for the model, iron for the billet, and air for the domain surrounding the billet. The physics set-up shows the equations and boundary conditions used to solve the model. Finally, the mesh is set up and the results are solved.
The billet has an initial temperature before being heated by a coil operating at a low frequency. The results show the temperature range throughout the billet where the effects of being heated by the coil are apparent. Heat is conducted towards the center of the billet but is lost to the surroundings through convection and radiation, reducing its temperature, as the billet continues through the process.

Lyles off his game as Astros drop series finale
Righty allows ten runs -- nine earned -- in four-plus frames vs. Mariners
HOUSTON -- Following two wacky Houston losses that featured a cycle and a near no-hitter, the Mariners made sure Sunday's contest was decidedly more mundane.
Seattle pounded out 13 hits including Nick Franklin's grand slam and rode ace Felix Hernanedez the rest of the way for a 12-5 rout of the Astros in Minute Maid Park.
Houston has now been swept in three of its last six series and hasn't won a set in a month, going 0-7-1 in eight series dating back to June 21.
After having to scrape across runs against a dealing Erik Bedard on Saturday night, the Mariners' scorching bats returned against Houston righty Jordan Lyles.
Lyles continued his downward trend over the last month, surrendering 10 runs -- nine earned -- on eight hits and two walks.
"From the get-go, I was missing around the zone," Lyles said. "Wasn't quite hitting the target, just a little bit off. It really just came down to fastball command."
It was a sharp contrast to the last time the 22-year-old faced Seattle, when he hurled seven scoreless innings with a career-high 10 strikeouts on June 12 in Safeco Field.
The Mariners erased those memories early and often, batting around in a seven-run second inning.
With Kendrys Morales on first and none out, Kyle Seager hit a likely double-play ball right near second base that Astros shortstop Jake Elmore booted, leaving both Mariners safe and transforming the inning.
"I may look at the game through a different lens," said Houston manager Bo Porter. "You see a seven-run inning, but you had a double play that's not made. Instead of being two outs, no one on, it's first and second, nobody out. The inning continues to snowball and you look up and that's the difference in the game."
Two RBI singles and a hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded followed, giving Seattle a 3-0 edge. Then Franklin landed the decisive blow, smacking a 1-1 pitch from Lyles just inside the right-field foul pole for his first career grand slam.
"I was just looking for a pitch to drive and try to get a run in and get a sac fly," Franklin said. "[Lyles] just happened to leave it over the plate and I connected on it."
That was more than enough for Hernandez, who didn't have his best stuff, but still held Houston to four hits and no runs over six innings. He struck out seven, throwing 65 of his 99 pitches for strikes.
"I don't think I've ever been in a ballpark where he's pitched and wasn't impressed," Porter said of Hernandez. "He's one of the best in the game and showed it again today."
But Seattle's offense didn't let up, driving Lyles from the game with three more runs in the fifth.
The Astros' best chance to get on the board against Hernandez came in the bottom of the inning, as they put runners on first and third with one out. But Hernandez coerced a tag-and-throw double-play ball out of Jose Altuve to stop the threat cold.
Facing reliever Lucas Harrell in the seventh, the Mariners tacked on another run with Brad Miller's RBI single. Miller crushed Astros pitchers during the series, going 5-for-12 while scoring four runs and driving in seven over three games.
Houston finally got on the board when Altuve laced an RBI single into left that scored Jake Elmore from second base in the seventh.
In the eighth, the Mariners chased Harrell -- formerly a starter before his demotion to the bullpen two weeks ago -- with Michael Saunders' RBI double. Harrell allowed two runs on five hits in 3 2/3 innings and needed 84 pitches to do so.
"It was definitely a great bounce-back from yesterday and only having the one hit," Franklin said. "But at the same time, we've been swinging it well and it was just one of those adjustment periods we had to go through and get back after it the next day."
The Astros didn't get much going on offense until the ninth, when they strung together three hits, a walk and a sacrifice fly to plate a pair of runs.
With two outs and runners on second and third, Jason Castro struck out, but the ball got away from catcher Henry Blanco. The throw down to first deflected off Castro and allowed two more runners to score, making it a four-run frame.
The loss made it 13 consecutive Astros home losses to American League West competition. Houston has dropped eight of its last nine games.

Do you require psychological counseling after you have had an abortion?
Most women do not need any psychological help after an abortion. Feelings of regret after abortion are rare. Indeed, the most common emotional response after abortion is relief. Transient feelings of guilt, sadness, or loss are common but most women can overcome negative feelings that might affect them. It is normal to feel emotional after an abortion. While you may experience sadness or grief, these feelings usually go away after a few days. But in countries where the taboo and social stigma is big, it is more common for women to suffer feelings of guilt and shame.
If you are not sure if a medical abortion treatment is right for you, we encourage you to discuss it with a trusted friend.
How do women feel after an abortion?
Every woman is unique in how she feels after an abortion. Most women report feeling a sense of relief that they have made the best decision under the circumstances. This is the most common response. For some women, however, abortion can raise a number of emotional responses including sadness, guilt, rage, shame and regret. Some women feel bad about themselves because they don't feel guilty about having an abortion, but think they should feel guilty. In general, understanding your emotional pain can help you to begin to let go of the grief, guilt, rage or shame you may be feeling. It is important to acknowledge that you are hurting and to take good care of yourself if you are experiencing difficulty.
You are not a bad person because you had an abortion. You are also not alone in having chosen abortion. Many women are surprised to learn that about 42 million women worldwide have abortions each year.
What kinds of things might contribute to a woman feeling distress after an abortion?
Your hormones are changing back to their pre-pregnancy state. This chemical change can cause feelings of sadness and weepiness. Someone else may have pressured you into having an abortion, rather than letting you make the decision for yourself
You might not have much support from your friends or family. Isolation is a major reason that women may find themselves in distress after an abortion.
You might feel very divided inside about your decision to have an abortion. It may not have been clear to you that abortion was the right decision in your circumstances.
You may feel abandoned and alone. Maybe your were hoping the man who got you pregnant would want to have a baby with you. Maybe he was not willing to do that, contributing to your sadness.
Perhaps you have low self-esteem and often feel bad about yourself.
Other parts of your life may be very stressful — school, your job, your kids etc.
You might fear that you will never again be able to get pregnant. If this is a worry to you, be assured that a safe medical abortion does not cause infertility in the future.
Anytime you make a difficult decision, it is natural to worry "what if I had made a different choice?" and to agonize over the decision.
Abortion may bring up old experiences or feelings you have been repressing. For instance, if sexual abuse is a part of your past, you may find yourself re-living feelings related to your abuse. Feeling vulnerable about the pregnancy and abortion may trigger you to remember a time in the past when you felt frightened and vulnerable.
Is it normal to feel depressed after an abortion?
In rare cases, women may become clinically depressed after having an abortion. If your feelings are overwhelming and do not seem to be resolving or you are suffering symptoms of depression, you should consult a professional.
There are some factors which are known to contribute to the risk of depression after abortion, including having a history of depression, anxiety or panic. Depression is a very serious illness. It is extremely important that you seek help from a professional such as a doctor, counsellor or therapist if you believe you are depressed.
What is "Post-abortion Syndrome"?
A general consensus has been reached in the medical and scientific communities that most women who have abortions experience little or no psychological harm. However, many people who are opposed to abortion claim that women who have had abortions will suffer from a type of post-traumatic stress disorder called "post-abortion syndrome".
Reliable, unbiased studies have shown that, although psychological disturbances do occur after abortion, they are uncommon and generally mild and short-lived.
Most psychiatric experts doubt the existence of "post-abortion syndrome and point out that abortion is not significantly different from any other stressful life experience that might cause trauma in some people.
What can I do to help myself heal after an abortion?
After an abortion, there are concrete things you can do to help you come to terms with your decision. The following suggestions can help you accept and deal with your feelings, make your feelings of sadness go away and help you reach some "closure" to your abortion experience.
Allowing yourself to express any sadness and grief that you are feeling will help it to diminish. You won't always feel this way.
Don't be hard on yourself. Talk to yourself in ways that are affirmative. You are a good person. You are a moral person.
Remind yourself that you are brave -- you made a difficult decision.
Remind yourself why you made the decision to have an abortion.
Remember you made the best decision you could under the circumstances.
Ask yourself, if you hope to have a planned pregnancy some day, how would it differ from the situation you have just been in?
Write your feelings down in a journal or special book which no one else will see.
Think about things you can do which will make you feel good. Write them down and try to do several of these each day.
Remind yourself of the future. Make a list of things you are looking forward to doing.
Consider creating an "end" to your relationship with your pregnancy by writing a good-bye letter and keeping it in a safe place or burning it.
Practice relaxation exercises to help deal with stress.
Read about other women's experiences at the "I had an abortion" part of this website. This can be reassuring and make your own feelings more clear. 60
Different women have different feelings about and experiences with abortion. Psychological studies show that women do not suffer for prolonged periods of time due to abortions they choose to have. These studies show that women can overcome negative feelings that might affect them. "Multiple studies have demonstrated that feelings of regret after abortion are rare. Indeed, the most common emotional response after abortion is relief. Transient feelings of guilt, sadness, or loss are common, but no evidence indicates that routine counseling is essential or even beneficial in coping with these feelings.1 Evidence suggests that most women do not need counseling after an abortion.1

The Tigers got clearance from the commissioner's office to put Dontrelle Willis on the DL with an anxiety disorder on Sunday. I thought only Tigers fans got those.
I may be late to the party, but I had thought that Willis' problems were all physical. After going 22-10 — the most wins in the majors — with a 2.63 ERA for the Marlins in 2005, Willis has never again had a winning season, being traded to the Tigers in 2007 and going 0-2 with a 9.38 ERA last season. Of course a knee injury had a lot to do with that, but now we know there was something more. From the Detroit Free Press:
"I'm never depressed at all — I've always been an amped-up guy," Willis said. "This is not something where I'm uncontrollable. ... Everybody will tell you in the locker room that I've always been upbeat, regardless of what's going on. This is not something where I'm too amped up, I don't know where I'm at, and I'm running sprints up and down the parking lot. They (the doctors) see something in my blood that they don't like. I'm not crazy. My teammates might think I'm crazy. But this is not something like that."
We don't know the exact nature of Willis' anxiety disorder; there are dozens, from obsessive-compulsive disorder to a fear of bridges. But Tigers president/general manager Dave Dombrowski is "fairly optimistic" Willis will return sometime this season. He's making $10 million this year, so Detroit fans had better hope so. Poor Michigan; what else can go wrong?

Bruce Forsyth
"Nice to penetrate you, to penetrate you, nice"
"Isn't he dead yet?"
"He got pissed every bloody night on our "Nobody Else" tour. I still haven't forgiven him for it. What a git."
Sir Bruce Joseph Forskin-Johnson, Kt. CBE (born 22 February 1928), commonly known as Bruce Forsyth, is an English TV personality. He was believed to have been millions of years old but it turns out he was born in 1928 BC, making him slightly younger than Terry Wogan. You might have seen him on the telly, after rising to prominance for the size of his chin.
In fact, if you're a British subject and you've cared to glance at Sir John Logie Baird's fabulous invention any Saturday night in the last 50 years, you've almost certainly seen him wearing a tuxedo, a toupee and a smile on various BBC and ITV shows such as Bruce's Generation Game, Play Your Dominos Right and The Price is Right. Despite being lauded as a TV professional, he simply does presenting work to fund his addiction to rich and expensive gravys and supermodels. He came upon the idea of The Price Is Right during a midnight walk on Hampstead heath where he discussed "prices for services with numerous healthy young men". He wishes to stress that he did not purchase any services although "it was nothing illegal".
He grants you three wishes if you stroke his chin and chant "nice to see you to see you nice!" sixteen times. He a former Mister Solar System contestant and is married to a former Mrs World.
Bruce presents BBC series Sticky Cum Dancing and viewers often mistake him for a corpse or hologram of Lord Reith which has led to over 15,000 complaints. In his online blog Bruce defends his appearance:
"Piss off and mind your own!"
Bruce currently resides in a floating palace known as "Brucie's Big Boat" off the coast of Wolverhampton. He has been married to a string of beautiful woman, and if we are honest, we are all pretty jealous of the bastard.
Bruce is a long-time drug enthusiast and has paid out almost £1,000,000 for cocaine in 2011 alone. He credits this "fine" drug with keeping him sprightly and on his toes so that he can dance gently on Strictly and then shag his wife "like a rutting bull" afterwards.

Anti-Gay Pol, Husband, Refuse to Address 'Therapy' Questions
A gay activist's undercover video is drawing unwanted attention to a counseling clinic co-owned by GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann, with footage apparently showing a counselor offering to help the activist overcome his homosexual urges.
Both Bachmann and her husband Marcus, who runs the clinic, refused Tuesday to answer questions about the video from Truth Wins Out, a gay advocacy group that has worked to discredit so-called "ex-gay therapy."
In it, a counselor is seen saying that sessions could help build up the patient's desire for women.
"I believe twice over the course of the first session he made reference to his belief that we are all created heterosexual, and that some of us just have different challenges with that," the activist, John Becker said in an interview with The Associated Press. "God created us all for heterosexuality - he said that twice."
The undercover video, first aired Monday by ABC News, comes at a time when Bachmann has emerged as a top GOP contender with a message that favors economic issues over the conservative social stands that marked her early rise in Minnesota. Bachmann often touts the family clinic as evidence of her business know-how.
Marcus Bachmann has denied in the past that his practice seeks to "cure" people of being gay. In a 2006 interview with the Minneapolis weekly newspaper City Pages, he called such claims "false" - though added that the Christian-affiliated clinic was open to patients who wanted to talk about their homosexuality.
On Tuesday, a receptionist at the clinic, Bachmann and Associates Inc., turned away an Associated Press reporter and said no one there would do interviews. Bachmann's campaign said neither Bachmann would be interviewed on the subject.
Bachmann campaign spokeswoman Alice Stewart said such matters are protected by patient-client confidentiality. "The Bachmann's are in no position ethically, legally, or morally to discuss specific courses of treatment concerning the clinic's patients. The clinic honors and respects all people for whatever issue they come in for and if there is a conflict, they refer elsewhere," said a written statement from Stewart.
Marcus Bachmann has a doctorate in clinical psychology, and the clinic's website advertises a wide range of counseling from anger management to eating disorders. The site advertises the clinic's Christian affiliation, though nowhere are there references to ex-gay or so-called "reparative therapy." It has locations in two Twin Cities suburbs, and has collected at least $137,000 from Medicaid-backed programs.
In 2009, the American Psychological Association issued a resolution and report strongly condemning the practice. The resolution said no solid evidence exists that individuals can change their sexual orientation and that efforts to do so could induce depression and suicidal tendencies.
Becker's group began looking into the therapy at the Bachmann clinic last month after Michele Bachmann, powered by tea party support, burst onto the 2012 scene. Becker said most of the information he told the counselor was false and that he does not struggle with his homosexuality.
Separately, a gay Minneapolis man who said he was a teenage patient at the counseling center in suburban St. Paul also shared details about his treatment there several years ago.
Andrew Ramirez told the AP on Tuesday that he was 17 when his parents insisted he seek help after he disclosed he was gay. Ramirez said he had two counseling sessions in 2004.
The male counselor "said if I pray to God that I no longer be gay, and study the Bible, that through continued therapy God could perform a miracle and I could become straight," Ramirez, now 24, said. Ramirez said after two sessions, he told his mother the therapy was pointless and she told him he could stop going. He said he never met Marcus Bachmann.
Ramirez said he contacted Truth Wins Out after a friend saw an item the group posted on its blog seeking former patients from the Bachmann clinic.
Politically, the clinic has been useful to Bachmann. She routinely cites it in stump speeches as evidence she understands the challenges face by entrepreneurs and small employers. And during her initial run for Congress, Bachmann's campaign leased office space from the clinic for a few months, according to federal campaign reports.
Bachmann's political rise was fueled early by her work on social issues, first through her campaign to undo school standards she regarded as invasive and later by her dogged pursuit of a gay marriage ban in Minnesota.
While Bachmann's social stances haven't figure as prominently in her current campaign, they have come up. Bachmann promotes faith as her personal and political foundation, stresses her anti-abortion stances and highlights her role in Minnesota's marriage debate.
She drew questions last weekend for signing a conservative Iowa group's "marriage vow" that contained controversial language comparing the home life of black children during the days of slavery and in today's society. The group, the Family Leader, has since revised its pledge to remove the slavery mention.
The pledge, coupled with unflattering attention to the clinic, isn't sitting well among Republicans who worry about a party nominee who could struggle to connect with swing voters.
"Those are fringe positions that will turn off currently registered Republicans or voters in that independent, movable middle," said R. Clarke Cooper, executive director of the pro-gay rights Log Cabin Republicans. "Politics is about numbers. It's about addition. Having fringe positions, we're going to lose voters."

Drew Gregory's River Bassin Tournament Trail Visits Fayetteville, Arkansas June 4
Categories: News, Press Releases
More than $60,000 in prizes from numerous sponsors will be given away throughout the trail
For Immediate Release – May 26, 2011: Professional Kayak Angler Drew Gregory's 2011 River Bassin Tournament Trail, presented by Jackson Kayak, heads to Fayetteville, Ark., next week. The tournament is hosted by Lewis & Clark Outfitters on Saturday, June 4, and will feature some of the top kayak anglers from across the country.
"We're excited to take the trail to some of the most beautiful rivers in the country, which flow through the scenic Ozark Mountains," Gregory said. "These mountainous rivers are known for their crystal clear water and hard-fighting small mouth bass. Surely this tournament will be won by the angler who can bring in the three largest of these bronze back beauties."
The River Bassin Tournament stop in Fayetteville will also be featured by the Arkansas Educational Television Network (AETN). They will be shooting an upcoming episode of Exploring Arkansas with host Chuck Dovish as he covers the tournament and discusses kayak fishing. The program airs Mondays at 6:30 p.m., and Sundays at 4:30 p.m. (check local listings for channel number in your area).
This year's trail has expanded from five to 12 stops across the United States, from Texas to Wisconsin, down to Georgia and stops in between, making it the largest paddle-powered fishing tournament trail in the world. The tournament helps to increase positive awareness of the eco-friendly sport of kayak fishing.
The eco-friendly trail is driven by a unique, conservation-minded, paddle-power only, catch-measure-photo-release format that promotes sustainability within the environment. Anglers will fish in surrounding rivers and take a photo of their catch on a standard measuring board given to all anglers. Upon taking the photo, they release the fish back into the water for future generations to enjoy. Anglers then return to the host location to fill out their scorecard, turn in their camera's memory card, and discover their placements at the "results show" that evening.
The "results show" is displayed in a slide show format where, at most stops, Gregory doubles as MC and recognizes the top anglers in all categories (individual angler, team, youth and top female) on stage to share their fish photos and discuss with them their day on the water.
Throughout the trail, more than $60,000 in prizes from numerous sponsors will be given away, most notably from – Jackson Kayak, Diablo Paddlesports, NuCanoe, Bass Pro Shops, Aqua Bound & Bending Branches paddles, Kokatat watersports wear, Paddle and Trail, Amazon Expeditions, KayakBassFishing.com, RiverBassin.com, Gorilla Glue, GoPro Cameras, RAM Mounts, Tallon Systems, Kayak Angler Magazine, and Zeko Shoes.
The trail began in Charlotte, N.C., on April 2, and is slated to finish up September 10, in Roanoke, Va., one of the country's premier outdoor lifestyle regions. Due to the area's pristine rivers and lakes, Roanoke makes for the ideal setting to host the trail's grand finale, where food, live music, a separate lake tournament and a film festival will take place along with awarding the River Bassin series champion.
The trail is also poised to raise money for the ALS Foundation. The foundation is instrumental in assisting those with Lou Gehrig's Disease, as well as searching for a cure to a disease that can affect anyone, of any race, age, gender or social class at any time.

GARDEZ, Afghanistan - Raqam Jan was at home on furlough after two years of fighting for the Afghan army when he stepped out of his house and onto a homemade mine. It had been planted not just to kill him but to send a message to his fellow villagers about the perils of serving in the Afghan security forces.
Recovering from shrapnel wounds to his legs in a military hospital in Gardez, near the border with Pakistan, the 24-year-old private vented his frustration with the Taliban's increasing use of what the U.S. military calls IEDs, or improvised explosive devices.
"Fighting them face-to-face is not a problem for us; our weakness is mines, we have some weakness countering mines," Jan said.
After 12 years of war, roadside bombs are the No. 1 killer, claiming thousands of lives every year. And as foreign troops wind down operations in preparation for their withdrawal in 15 months, insurgents are using an ever larger number of these explosives to assert their grip and recapture territory.
Afghan and coalition military officials say their enemy is resorting to hidden bombs because it can't take on the Afghan security forces in open battle. Now they are equipping Afghan forces with metal detectors and specialized vehicles to clear roads, and running a school for bomb squads.
Gen. Mohammad Sharif Yaftali, commander of Afghanistan's 203rd Thunder Corps, said these soldiers and police are neutralizing 90 percent of the IEDs they find.
But while visits to bases around the country have shown the Afghan forces are capable of fighting insurgents in open battle, the Taliban are resorting to fewer but bigger bombs, as well as more suicide attacks.
They are becoming more deadly, using bombs with sophisticated remote control detonators. Their surveillance has improved, according to Afghan and coalition military officials.
On Sept. 7, insurgents used a bomb to blow up a helicopter as it was landing on hill near a main air base in western Herat province, seriously wounding the Afghan pilot and his U.S. army trainer. They apparently had noticed that the helicopter always landed in the same place after a training mission.
"The enemy's only real weapon is the IED," Yaftali said in Gardez recently. "IEDs are the only way they can show their presence. It is the weapon of choice."
The casualty toll among the 350,000 strong Afghan army and police has risen sharply in the months since they took over security responsibility from the U.S.-led coalition - up to 100 are killed each week.
In mid-August, Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, who runs the coalition's joint command, told reporters that 1,000 Afghan security personnel had been killed and 3,000 wounded in four months.
Afghan military officials say about 50 percent of the casualties are caused by roadside bombs. At that rate the casualty toll could be double what it was last year.
By comparison, with few if any foreign soldiers on patrol since the handover of security responsibilities, their death toll this year is 126, compared to 302 in the same period of 2012, according to an Associated Press tally.
The U.N. said in the first six months of this year, 1,319 civilians were killed and 2,533 were wounded, the majority of them by roadside bombs.

Jairus are a five-piece inspired as much by the grandeur of Mogwai as they are the complex, technical hardcore of Botch. So, does that make them punk- or post-rock, or neither? To be honest, we're not sure – the only certainty is that their visceral, jaw-dropping live set is not to be missed.
"Jairus know they are neither here nor there pigeonhole-wise, and are all the healthier for it." – DiS's 8/10 review of Jairus' self-titled 2005 EP, released on Big Scary Monsters.

DiScover interview here
London-based quartet They Don't Sleep are masters of the quiet-LOUD-quiet rock formula: their often-lengthy songs rise and rise and rise, only to fall terrifyingly fast, smashing into a thousand scattered fragments of echo-soaked melancholy and massively malevolent noise. Wearing no clichés upon their collective sleeve, the quartet are dramatic, emotionally-engaging and technically superb: they're sure to win a slew of fans at this gig.
"If four men can be this loud on record, the already bruised mind boggles at the mere suggestion of live possibilities." – DiS's 8/10 review of They Don't Sleep's 2006 The Drawing Game EP, self-released.
MySpace: here
Brighton-based duo Steve and Laura-Mary are whipping the music press into an absolute lather at the moment, with their dance-friendly indie-rock workouts attracting the attentions of both Panic! At The Disco, who they've an upcoming support slot with. Their new single, 'You Bring Me Down', is released on November 20 via the DrownedinSound Digital Singles Club. Possibly the most hard-working band on the country's live circuit right now, Blood Red Shoes performance at RoTa is sure to leave all and sundry danced out and suitably impressed.
"One of the brashest and best singles of two-zero-zero-six thus far." – DiS's 9/10 review of Blood Red Shoes' 2006 single 'ADHD', released through Try Harder.

Intern Teacher Certification
Utilization of the Program
The intern teacher certification program at Millersville University is reserved almost exclusively for two categories of students. First, persons who are already teaching in private schools without a standard instructional certificate are seen as appropriate candidates for this program. Their admission to this program permits the use of their employment setting to fulfill field placement requirements. Second, school districts are sometimes very desirous of employing certain uncertified individuals for very specific reasons. Inclusion in the intern program makes such arrangements possible.
For additional information, contact the PA Department of Education.
Admission to the Program
The prospective student must first apply to the Graduate Studies Office. This application seeks admission to Millersville University as a post-baccalaureate certification student (see Post-Baccalaureate Certification Program). The University's receipt of the appropriate materials sets in motion the process of reviewing the candidate's credentials and determining the sequenced requirements which must be met for recommendation for acceptance into the program and for certification. This review process is done on an individual basis. If the student is offered admission and decides to enroll, he/she is admitted as a regular post-baccalaureate certification student--not a teacher intern.
Several additional requirements must be met before the student may become a teacher intern, a special category of post-baccalaureate certification student. First, the student must enroll at Millersville University and take at least two courses. Millersville faculty need to become acquainted with the student before considering intern status. Second, the student must take and pass the standardized tests which are mandated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (The appropriate Specialty Area test required for certification). Third, upon notice by the student that he/she has an opportunity for employment as a teacher in the area where certification is being pursued; submitted on District letterhead to the University from the administration of the employing school; the Certification Office at Millersville will review the materials, render a decision of possible acceptance into the Intern Program, and prepare a letter verifying eligibility for intern status. Fourth, at this point the Certification Office may apply to the Pennsylvania Department of Education for the issuance of an intern teaching certificate.
Fulfillment of the Program
In fulfilling the program the student must complete the courses and field assignments as listed on the individual requirement sheet produced through the review of credentials. All courses listed thereon must be completed. The student teaching assignment will be undertaken as early in the program as possible. This assignment may be in the place of employment where the intern certificate is being used. The university student teaching supervisor will be assigned to the intern student. That university supervisor will conduct at least the university required minimum number of classroom observations and conferences indicated for student teaching supervision. The university supervisor will be available for student-initiated contacts. Since the intern teacher has no cooperating teacher for support, the university supervisor is aware that the intern teacher might require more attention and support than might otherwise be indicated.
Completion of the Program
When all program requirements have been met and the official report of passing scores in the Praxis standardized tests is in the Certification Office at Millersville University, applications initiated by the candidate for the Instructional I certificate will be processed from the Certification Office at Millersville to the Pennsylvania Department of Education (see Applying For Your Certificate).

At first glance, they appear to be floating mid-air.
The breeze drifts through their open windows and a yawning gap divides the floorboards from the ground, yielding a view of the laneway and blue sky beyond.
But the two Strathcona heritage houses sitting side by side atop horizontal steel I-beams are in fact footed to the ground.
"Did you see this? They just moved this back and now it's just hanging on a couple beams," one cyclist remarked to another as they cruised by 662 and 666 Union Street.
Propped up by wooden cribbing, the houses are part of an eco-friendly project to restore historically significant homes and bring them up to lofty environmental standards.
"We're trying to bring this type of thing into Strathcona here. Building smart, building green, looking toward a better future for all of us," said site superintendent Josh Klein.
The ground previously cradling the houses was excavated earlier this year. The dwellings were built in 1892 on a slope, which has now been dug away to build a basement and new foundation.
Before the digging began, both structures were lifted 12 inches off the ground using a hydraulic jack. Klein and his team then rolled them backward more than 60 feet with a winch. After excavating, they rolled them forward again, this time with a 10-foot gap beneath the flooring.
The houses are being restored to LEED platinum standards, which includes solar panels, air-source heat pumps and a hot water heat recovery system as well as responsible waste management.
"The benefit would just be great awareness of green issues," said Klein. "It's sort of my goal to see that happen, so it's really exciting for me."
The two-year-old "ECOheritage" project, developed by property owners Dick Hellofs and Karli Gillespie, received nearly unanimous consent from area residents.
But not everyone is ecstatic about the eye-catching renovation.
"All my neighbourhood said it's okay, so I cannot say anything," said Peter Fong, who lives in a house across the street. "I cannot say there's not enough parking now, out of respect."
During their 120 years on the street, the hiked-up houses have played host to B.C. Sugar employees, master mariners, shoemakers, loggers and even a world welterweight boxing champion.

100+ Consumers Planning Action Against Google's Tracking Further International Cases to Follow
01 Feb, 2013, 10:30 GMT
LONDON, February 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Over a hundred people have contacted the law firm that has launched a landmark privacy case against Google, declaring their wish to join the action in the English courts after the internet giant circumvented the security settings on Apple's Safari browser which allowed it to track online usage covertly.
Less than a week after it was launched in the UK, 106 people have asked the law firm, Olswang, to bring a case on their behalf. Over 500 people have expressed their concern for Google's behaviour by endorsing the Safari Users Against Google's Secret Tracking Facebook page created to provide information to people affected. The Facebook page can be found at http://www.facebook.com/SafariUsersAgainstGooglesSecretTracking
So far, Google has made no comment about the legal action.
The claims centre around tracking cookies, which were secretly installed by Google on the computers and mobile devices of people using Apple's Safari internet browser.
The first claimant to issue a letter of claim against Google, 74-year-old Judith Vidal-Hall, said: "Google can no longer be unaware of the strength of feeling about its secret tracking but continues to refuse to explain its conduct to consumers. People are quite rightly outraged that a global company is treating them in this way. We hope anyone who used Safari and who was covertly targeted by tailored advertising joins this action."
Through its Doubleclick adverts, Google designed a code to circumvent privacy settings in order to deposit the cookies on computers which allowed them to provide user-targeted advertising. The claimants thought that cookies were being blocked on their devices because of Safari's strict default privacy settings and separate assurances being given by Google at the time. This was not the case.
The practice was only stopped when an academic researcher noticed Google's activity and published an exposé in the United States. Google was subsequently found to be in violation of an existing order from the US Federal Trade Commission and was fined a record $22.5million.
Olswang say that this action breached their clients' confidence and privacy and are now seeking damages, disclosure and an apology from the company.
Dan Tench, a Partner at Olswang, said: "The volume of requests to take action against Google should be no surprise given its reach within our society. Consumers tell us they are determined to hold Google to account. Anyone who used the Safari browser between September 2011 and February 2012 may have a claim."
The firm has also received requests from claimants in other European jurisdictions asking whether similar claims can be brought in other countries. For information on joining the claim, email email@example.com
Media enquiries: Olswang Press Office on +44(0)20-7067-3046.

Mumbai is flooded with acting institutes. Everyday a new acting institute mushrooms and starts claiming that it is the best one. There are few old ones also. Though, they have passed their prime but still claim to be in the race. Then there are few upstart trainers, who have delusion of grandeur and success. It is but natural that aspiring actors get confused and are hoodwinked by these con trainers. These "Bunty & Bablis" try every trick from the book and sometimes succeed also in trapping these aspirants.
Therefore it becomes imperative to chronicle true success stories to save gullible students from the clutches of unscrupulous and con acting trainers. I am writing this blog so that such ARVIND KEJARIWALS of acting training should get exposed and shouldn't go unchallenged.
When " Bajrangi Bhaijaan " got released and took the box office by storm, there were several articles in the news papers. It collected 100 crores by the first weekend and thus became the 1st ever Hindi film to enter THE BIG CLUB so quickly.
Bombay Times, dated July 21, 2015, published an article about THE BIG CLUB. It chronicled all the 35 Hindi movies till date, which are the biggest earners.
Out of 35 films, there is 1 film in 300 Crore Club / 1 film in 250 Crore Club / 3 films in 200 Crore Club / 7 films in 150 Crore Club and 23 films in 100 Crore Club .
I am so happy to announce and stating this fact with great pride that out of these 35 block-buster films, there are only 3 films which have no students of mine [ JUST 3 FILMS ]. These films are " Ghajini " , " Holiday " and " Ek Villain " . Apart from these 3 films my students are there in all the remaining 32 films. This is unparalleled feat. This is unprecedented success story. This is so humbling as an acting trainer. I don't think any other acting trainer can claim such humongous success story. Even FTII, Pune [ Film & television Institute of India ] can claim such success in recent times. FTII gave many luminaries to the film industry but that was eons ago. It was during Shri Roshan Taneja's time. This so-called premier (?) acting institute's recent accomplishments are negligible compared to mine.
I am giving the whole list of films published in the July 21, 2015 issue of Bombay Times. Name of my students working in these films are also mentioned. It is now for the discerning public to judge the facts.

Quilting Color Trend: Blue
Vision in Blues
Taking a cue from the hues of winter, alternate blue-and-white floral squares with a classic block pattern in complementary prints, plaids, stripes, and shirtings to create the borderless throw.
Rhapsody in Blue
Can you keep a secret? This Single Irish Chain quilt showcases a simple Nine-Patch in disguise.
Winding Ways
Curved piecing creates an overlapping circle pattern on this scrappy blue and tan quilt.
Blueberries and Cream
Alternate light and dark prints for a throw that takes it one step at a time. Flannel fabrics and blue prints make this quilt perfect for winter nights, but the pattern is versatile enough for any color combination.
Winter Wonder
When the frosty days of winter arrive, warm your home with a dramatic blue-and-white quilt.
Crossing Point
Cross and Crown blocks take center stage on a scrappy blue-and-white throw.
Roaring Waves
A range of blues and grays, gradating from light to dark, produce the look of waves on a stormy night. Pairing blue with gray instead of white puts a twist on the classic two-color combination.
Stars from the Past
Classic LeMoyne Star blocks in reproduction fabrics shine against a blue background.
Ships Ahoy!
You'll make waves with a nautical-theme crib quilt.
Red, White, and 'Bluetiful'
For a summery wall hanging, pair scrappy blues and crisp whites, then add small pops of red.
Out of the Blue
A range of blues from light to medium to dark forms a grid look in this wall hanging. Dark floral squares emerge from assorted lighter blues to give the project depth.
Sunny Skies
Cheery blue and yellow star in this sunny wall quilt.
Winter Blues
Make classic Churn Dash blocks in an icy color palette for a stunning winter table topper.
Cold Snap
Chain piecing makes easy work of the sharp points in this classic blue-and-white icy-crystal delight.
Bluesy Burgoyne
Civil War reproduction fabrics in blues, browns, and creams make a cozy wall hanging. Using a variety of the same two colors creates a controlled scrappy look.
Way Around
A classic two-color combination offers timeless appeal.
Walk in the Woods
Use blue, green, and brown prints to create dreamy star blocks. The natural colors give the impression that the stars are sparkling down through a forest canopy.
Bolts of Blue
Mix your favorite blue prints in a scrappy wall hanging that will have you doing anything but singing the blues. Choosing prints with splashes of white keeps the strips in the tone-on-tone sashing from getting lost.
Marbled Elegance
Skinny chains of light, medium, and dark blue squares run through a marbled, creamy field, mimicking the blue veins in the background print.
Vive la French Country
On this inviting tablecloth, charming blue and yellow prints march around a border that looks like French tiles.
Classic Blue Heirloom Quilt
Pairing gray with blue instead of white with blue puts a twist on the classic two-color combination.
Modern-Day Cowboy Throw

Jewel-tone blues, golds, and browns in subtle tone-on-tones create a rich wall hanging. Fussy-cutting striped fabric makes the Aster blocks pop.
Batik Strips Table Runner
Frame a panel of batik strips with bright piping for the center of a quick and easy table runner.
Double Cross Quilt
Prints and solids combine in a quilt that sets two different cross blocks on point. Cutting up large prints adds interest to the wall hanging, and a scrappy middle border breaks up the dark blue inner and outer borders.

Icy Blues
Combine shades of blue, white, and gray to create a wintertime wall hanging that lasts well past the holiday season.
Underwater Adventure
Ocean-theme prints paired with beachy blues and sandy tans are perfect for a kid's quilt. A stripe border print ties all the colors together for a playful finish.
Blue Ocean Waves
Serene aquas and cool blues rule in this tranquil wall hanging. Soft prints and large floral fabrics result in Ocean Waves blocks with less defined edges, adding to the relaxed feel of the piece.

No one does Black Friday quite like the team behind Cards Against Humanity.
The Chicago-based company behind the popular card game continued its tradition of absurd Black Friday antics by raising thousands of dollars to dig a massive hole.
Yes, you read that correctly – the "party game for horrible people" launched its "Holiday Hole" campaign at 12 p.m. CST on Friday with a livestream of a hole being dug with a countdown clock and an option to donate.
U.S. & World
"As long as money keeps coming in, we'll keep digging," promises holidayhole.com, the website dedicated to the cause. For every dollar donated, about 0.5 seconds is added to the countdown clock.
As of Saturday afternoon, the promotion had raised more than $80,000 with about 23 hours of dig time remaining.
The site's FAQ page answers some of the burning questions on the minds of fans and critics alike:
What's happening here?
Cards Against Humanity is digging a holiday hole.
Is this real?
Unfortunately it is.
Where is the hole?
America. And in our hearts.
Is there some sort of deeper meaning or purpose to the hole?
What do I get for contributing money to the hole?
A deeper hole. What else are you going to buy, an iPod?
This is hardly the first time Cards Against Humanity has launched a campaign mocking the busiest shopping day of the year. In 2013, the company increased the game's price by $5 in lieu of offering a Black Friday sale, only to outdo itself the following year by selling boxes of actual poop.
That promotion sold out to more than 30,000 customers, many of whom were shocked when bull feces arrived on their doorstep. The company then donated the proceeds to nonprofit organization Heifer International.
In 2015, the "Give Cards Against Humanity $5 Sale" raked in more than $71,000 by selling literally "nothing" for $5 and distributing the haul among employees who spent it on a variety of hilarious purchases that included a suit of armor, several trips and thousands of dollars in charitable donations.
For those thinking that the company with a track record of holiday giving would put the "Holiday Hole" money to another good cause, the site kills that hope in answering the question, "Why aren't you giving all this money to charity?"
"Why aren't YOU giving all this money to charity? It's your money," the FAQ retorts.
"You're supposed to think it's funny," the site tells readers wondering how to feel. "You might not get it for a while, but some time next year you'll chuckle quietly to yourself and remember all this business about the hole."

(CNN) — A Pegasus Airlines plane landed at an Istanbul airport Friday after a passenger "said that there was a bomb on board" and wanted the plane to land in Sochi, Russia, the site of the Winter Olympics, said officials with Turkey's Transportation Ministry.
"While the plane was in the air, one of the passengers said that there was a bomb on board and asked the plane to not land in Sabiha Gokcen (in Turkey) but rather to land in Sochi," Transportation Ministry official Habip Soluk said Friday on CNNTurk.
The passenger said the bomb was in the baggage hold, a Transportation Ministry official said.
Official opening ceremonies for the Olympic Games began Friday in Sochi amid intense security against potential terror attacks.
Cihan News Agency of Turkey said the alleged hijacker was apparently being detained as it published a photograph from inside the plane of a man standing in a numbered-11 sports jersey with empty seats around him with two people in uniform.
Turkish officials couldn't be immediately reached to confirm the photograph.
Officials had no immediate details on why the alleged hijacker wanted to divert the plane to Sochi.
The plane sent a hijacking signal, and after landing it was in a safe zone at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen Airport, Turkish state media outlet TRT reported.
Video from the safe zone on the tarmac showed police and security officials milling around a Pegasus Airlines jet, while buses removed passengers. Security officers were searching for a bomb aboard the plane, the transportation official said.
The alleged hijacker is of Ukrainian nationality, Soluk said.
The Ukrainian Embassy in Turkey was working with Turkish authorities to confirm the citizenship of the suspect, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.
The plane had been flying a route between Kharkov, in Ukraine, and Istanbul, the Transportation Ministry representative said. It wasn't clear in which city the flight started.
Turkey's Air Force Control Center received a hijacking alert at 5:20 p.m. local time, and by 5:40, two F-16 jets had scrambled to intercept the hijacked airliner, a Boeing 737-800, according to Turkey's semiofficial Anadolu news agency.
"These planes accompanied the Pegasus plane over the Black Sea," the agency said.
The passenger plane landed at the Istanbul airport at 6:04 p.m., Anadolu said.
CNN's Gul Tuysuz reported from Turkey, and Michael Martinez reported and wrote from Los Angeles. Victoria Butenko contributed from Kiev, Ukraine.

Norwich Inn brewing anniversary beer
Microbrewery celebrates two decades in operation
To Jeremy Hebery -- beer is art. Since getting out of the consulting business in 2010, he's been living out his true passion as the brewmaster at The Norwich Inn.
"(It) satisfies that creative aspect of brewing, so it's a great gig," said Hebert.
Every beer recipe served at the inn's Jasper Murdock's Alehouse, down to the last hop, is created by Hebert. He is the third brewmaster at the local spot. When he realized that a big birthday for the brewing operation was coming up, he contacted the other two, Tim Wilson and Patrick Dakin, so see if they wanted to collaborated for a special anniversary beer recipe.
The two others said yes, and the rest of the staff was excited.
"All three of them are really good friends, so for them to collaborate on this, it was an easy get," said Alanna Mayer, marketing director at the inn.
After exchanging ideas, the three decided to craft a Belgian stout -- a rare brew that packs a flavorful punch. Hebert said it is one of the most complex beer any of the brewmasters had ever made.
"It'll be interesting to see how the final beer turns out," said Hebert.
The anniversary brew is in the tail end of its fermentation stage, meaning that it will not be ready until later this summer.

text: Commit You are about to graduate or have already submitted your dissertation? Ready for the next step? Postdoc? The postdoc is not clearly defined. There are no hard and fast rules as to how postdoctoral candidates are recruited, what roles they take or the terms of employment. The early postdoctoral phase corresponds to a Recognised Researcher as defined by the European Commission: Ph.D. holders or equivalent who are not yet fully independent. If you hope to advance your career in academia, you will need to develop independence. That might not be the easiest thing to do. There are around 140 postdocs at the HSG aiming to further qualify for a future inside oder outside academia. They work in research, service or teach at our institutes, chairs and centres. The HSG has currently 27 postdocs funded by an International Postdoctoral Fellowship ("GFF Postdocs"). This fellowship is awarded to outstanding postdocs and supports the development of their research profile. This period typically involves: • Orientation: decide upon a career inside or outside academia • Develop skills and competencies that correspond to both, academic and non-academic career objectives • Financing your position • Gaining independence • Achieving visibility witin the scientific community • Networking Well, what would your peers recommend? Watch their video!And this is how your to-do list might look like: 1. Actively focus on defining your career goals 2. Get information about opportunities for funding your own position early enough 3. Work on your communication skills 4. Do you carry out empirical research? Manage your research data 5. Network with your peers 6. Academic integrity: Learn what that means 7. Update your mindmap (right-hand navigation bar "Downloads")

Good day,
I have an idea of creating a program similar to windows on-screen keyboard i.e a program which can input data into another. the only difference is, in addition to this function, it must be able to create macros of multiple key functions in sequence. Can anyone give an idea of where to start or what my end result should be like (E.G.) a program with similar functions in existence.
