A Message From Professor David Ferguson,
Director of STEM Smart Programs
Dear Colleagues,
For over twenty years, the Department of Technology and Society in the College of Engineering andApplied Sciences has been a leader in NewYork State and our nation in enhancing the participation of underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineer-ing and mathematics (STEM). At the pre-college, undergraduate and graduate levels, we have helped students develop their potential and achieve their academic goals. Many of these students have either become accomplished professionals in business, industry and medicine, or emerged as outstanding faculty members at colleges and universities across our country. Indeed, the Department of Technology and Society, in collaboration with its many partners in business and industry, government, and colleges and universities, has helped Stony Brook University lead the way in the national priority of strengthening human resource development in STEM.
This is an exciting time for science and engineering. Around the world, there is a growing awareness of the critical importance of scientific and technological advancements in enhancing economic growth and quality of life. At the same time, there is a rapidly expanding perspective that critical issues of our time, including energy and environmental issues and global health and prosperity, demand interdisciplinary thinking and wise leadership in charting socio-technological policies. The sheer intellectual excitement of doing STEM is increasingly intertwined with unprecedented urgency to use scientific and technological advancements for human good and the betterment of life in all its forms.
As an umbrella organization of a wide array of STEM education programs, STEM Smart is designed to enhance the participation of groups that are underrepresented in STEM education and careers. Supporters of these successful programs include Stony Brook University, the New York State Education Department, the National Science Foundation, business and industry, and private foundations. It is this highly collaborative environment that allows us to meet the diverse needs of students from groups that have not been fully engaged in the scientific enterprise.
Although much work is ahead of us, we have come a long way in developing a diverse community of science scholars. We appreciate the many contributions that so many have made over the years. With such commitment in mind, I am joined by STEM Smart staff members, and our many faculty, staff, students and external collaborators in bringing this view of our activities to you.
David L. Ferguson
Technology and Society and Applied Mathematics and Statistics,
Chair, Department of Technology and Society
Director, STEM Smart

Doctors familiar with "double duck" lip lift. Can you give me more information please? (Photo)
I read a paper on the "double duck" lip lift technique, and found it interesting. I can't seem to find any before and afters, and talk about this technique even though it looked very successful and advanced. Is there a reason for that? And could anyone refer me to more info? Also, could a bridge bump be removed through a closed technique and an alarplasty to narrow nostrils be done in conjunction with this type of lip lift in the same surgery being that they share incision sites?

According to congressional testimony, the Deepwater Horizon spill may be 19 times larger than official estimates:
Steve Wereley, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., earlier this month made simple calculations from a single video BP released on May 12 and calculated a flow of 70,000 barrels a day, NPR reported last week.The Coast Guard plans to put a sensor near the source of the leak to get a better sense of how much is leaking.
On Wednesday, Wereley told a House of Representatives Energy and Commerce subcommittee that his calculations of two leaks that are on videos BP released on Tuesday showed 70,000 barrels from one leak and 25,000 from the other.
He said the margin of error was about 20 percent, making the spill between 76,000 and 104,000 barrels a day. However, Wereley said he'd need to see videos that showed the flow over a longer period to get a better calculation of the mix of oil and gas from the wellhead.
The tar balls found in Florida earlier this week did not come from the Deepwater Horizon spill.
Lab results released Wednesday, after the U.S. Coast Guard used a Falcon jet to whisk the samples from Miami to a lab in Groton, Conn., revealed the 50 or so three- to eight-inch tar balls did not come from the Deepwater Horizon disaster.Meanwhile, the Minerals Management Service will be split into three parts to avoid having the regulatory and revenue-collecting functions housed in the same agency.
The Coast Guard lab's findings were conclusive, a statement said, even as the source of the spill that spawned the tar balls was still not known.
The reorganization, which has a 30-day timetable, will create the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to develop energy resources, including offshore renewable resources, and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, which will police offshore operations and protect the environment.Hopefully this move will lead to more effective health and environmental regulation of drilling operations.
Most importantly, Salazar said, the existing division of the agency that oversees $13 billion in annual revenue collection will evolve into the Office of Natural Resources Revenue, move to the Interior Department's budget and management division, and be entirely separate from Interior's land and minerals division.
About 700 of the agency's 1,700 employees will move to the revenue collection division. Another 300 will be devoted to environmental safety and enforcement, and the remaining 700 will work on offshore energy leasing plans.

TSA Implements New Screening Technology at Denver Airport
The US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has unveiled new security checkpoint machines at Denver International Airport, which will generate a genderless image, obscuring the details of a passenger's body and instead shows a chalk outline.
The new technology, called Automated Target Recognition, will detect explosives, plastics, metals or anything else that is foreign to the body and yellow boxes pop up along the body outlines on a computer screen, alerting security screeners where they need to search.
The new system will avoid a full-body pat-down because a screener will know exactly where to look to find the source of the alert.
TSA will implement the new technology nationwide, which costs $2.7m to implement on 241 scanners, according to denverpost.com.

Vandals destroy mailboxes in Cole County
Tue, 12 Oct 2010 00:18:55 GMT —
Life in the country has its own frustrations.
Mailbox vandals are on that list and they were at it again Sunday night in western Cole County.
Jeff Rook has live on Route Z near Highway 179 for eight years. It's not the first time he's found his mailbox lying on the ground.
"This is the second time," Vandalism Victim Jeff Rook said.
Sometime after 10 p.m. Sunday, vandals smashed more than 36 mailboxes at homes along Routes Z, N, and U. Authorities spent the morning logging the damage.
"I know this kinda thing happens a lot, Cole County Deputy Aaron Bolinger said. I grew in a rural area and I know it's not uncommon.
Bolinger said no one saw or heard anything that could lead to help identify the vandals.
A fast moving car and a baseball bat don't leave many clues. But they can do a lot of damage, especially to metal boxes that will leak when bent even a little.
The plastic ones seem to take the abuse better.
I think mine's reparable, Rook said.
Even though the potential for an arrest appears to be low, Bolinger said anyone who experiences mailbox vandalism should not hesitate to contact the sheriff's office to make a report.

Since yesterday I get a notification that says "Devices is running". The app devices uses a lot of battery and I can't find anything about it on xda or google. Whenever I press force stop it just starts again a few seconds later. It's pretty weird because dlna is always turned off. I know I can freeze it with titanium or remove the app, but does anyone know how this is possible?
The phone runs on iHackers 4.1, but I don't think it's rom related.

Morning glory mystery
I planted morning glories, runner beans and corn in a little planting bed last year where I also had an old farm implement. I hoped the vining plants would climb up the rusty potato digger and around the corn, creating a charming site. Instead I got a jungle. So I moved the potato digger to a bigger space, vowed not to plant corn and runner beans together and decided to dig up any morning glories that sprouted and put them somewhere else, figuring that this tiny little plot would be a perfect place for lemon cucumbers rather than the morning glory/corn/beans mess that was there last year.
Someone told me that morning glories reseeded themselves every year, so I've been checking the dirt, hoping to find some that I could dig up and move. I finally found them, just not where I expected.
At first, I figured they were something else, since I know I planted something (Chinese cabbage, kale or quinoa) around that area.
Then I realized I didn't plant anything in the rocks, those really are morning glory sprouts and this is the spot where I dumped all the overgrown vines and plants when I pulled them out of the garden last fall, since I didn't have a compost bin yet.
No telling what else may sprout…

Hairline crack on the garage floor and on the vertical exterior wall at the rear of the house. The house will be 10 years old in Sept 2016.
2 hairline cracks on the garage floor = 4 feet in length * 2 = 8 feet in length
1 hairline crack on the vertical exterior wall at the rear of the house = 4 feet in length
Any cause of concern for me?
And how do I repair the cracks in the garage and on the exterior wall?
Hi Martin,
It would not be possible to diagnose the cause of the cracks in a forum like this, however here is some information you might find useful.
Unless we are talking about a complete and catastrophic failure of the foundation, most cracks start out as hairline. Having said that, shrinkage cracks in concrete are fairly common and if that is in fact what you have it would not be cause for concern.
Here are some things to check to see if you should be concerned. Please note that "concern" is valid and is not an opinion. Follow these steps first and ignore "opinions" from others, especially anyone that has a vested interested in the result (i.e. The Builder may dismiss it and reassure you that it is nothing because they do not want to absorb the cost of the repair while a foundation contractor may state that it is a serious concern because they want the work). That is not to say that either would do that, but you are far better to eliminate the possibility.
1) Did these cracks appear recently?
2) Did these cracks appear at around the same time?
3) Are these cracks diagonal?
4) Do these cracks appear to start at the corner of a window, door, or basement post?
5) Is the concrete on either side of the crack on the same plane? (that is to say, if you put a straight edge against the wall or floor spanning the crack are both sides still in line or is one side higher than the other). Note that being in line with each other has nothing to do with level or plumb.
6) If they are on the same plane (#5 above), use a pencil and mark two lines (one on either side of the crack) and accurately measure the distance between the two. Write the date and the measurement on the wall at that location and monitor it about once a week and note any change.
If the cracks are diagonal and/or appear to be radiating from the corner of a window or door opening or on the floor at the base of a post or corner of a wall, or if the two sides of the crack are no longer co-planer, then you need to contact a Structural Engineer (P.Eng) and have them do a site visit and provide you with a stamped report. You can then use this to tender the repair work out to licensed contractors in your area.
If the cracks appear to be in the middle of a wall, both sides are in line with each other and are less than 1/8" across, did not suddenly appear recently, and are not opening or closing, then you are quite likely perfectly safe.
Please understand that this information is for you to use and make your own determination. I cannot advise you over this very useful forum.
If you have any doubts or concerns, do not hesitate to contact a Structural Engineer in your area. A report like the one I mentioned would likely cost only a few hundred dollars which in my opinion is the cheapest insurance you can get and provides great peace of mind for you and your family.
Best of luck,

Seeking expert counseling is a sign of strength. A personal relationship with a caring professional is proven clinically effective.
Dear *****,
It seems that you are getting good sleep because of all the sleep inducing medications that you are taking at night. Quetiapine, particularly, is an antipsychotic drug, useful if you do have bipolar disorder (you have said nothing that indicates this), but is something that doctors give patients to make them sleep. I call it the sledgehammer approach to insomnia.
The zoplicone and clonazepam should be enough. These three might keep you drowsly.
The cannabis will not mix badly with the other drugs and may actually relieve the pressure on your eyes, as it is known to help with glaucoma.
Your doctor's approval may depend on the legality of the drug in your province, rather than the efficacy./
Some people are loners and find empty chit-chat to be boring or even slightly depressing. That is a matter of your preferences and not a mental health issue.
Also, taking melatonin may be an excellent supplement to try, as it regulates the circadian sleep cycle and this may be to your benefit.
I see that you are typing and I am waiting for your words.
I am sorry about your son and his apparent lack of moral strength in giving you support and standing up for his mother when there was no apparent issue of controversy between you and his wife. That is a stressor in your life and something you should deal with rather than try to ignored.
Are you still there?
You can send through part of your message and continue typing if you are there.
I was told that it also helps anxiety and OCD and other things besides Bipolar~ I may have some symptons of Bipolar~ but I was always told I did not have it~ with my family history it would maybe be hard to miss on some signs~ my mother was Bipolar and my father OCD~ I have a Bipolar brother and a niece who is Bipolar 2~the list goes on~ a sledgehammer approach does not sound like a positive to me~ would that make me drowsy in the morning~I did hear that cannabis helped Gllaucoma and yet my Expert tells me only during certain times of the day and not as drops do~ it is legal here only for medical reasons~ but it seems more for cancer patients~I took it illegally:-)~ but I would be afraid to now that I live in another place and alone~one Doctor said since it affects the brain~ it may cause adverse effects~ as the others I take also do~alcohol is supposed to be a no no as well~ also tests can be done very easily now to detect it in your system~ a simple urine test~ if I drive it would be very embarrassing to get caught~I do not think a Doctor here would prescribe it for me~my eye pressure lowered to 16 and 17 in four days on the drops~ so to me these are the better treatment for Glaucoma~37 was a way too high and dangerous~I am not sure what a Psychiartrist would suggest~ mine sure was against it~maybe here it would be different~ then there are different types of marijauna~ some contain unsafe substances I am told and you have to know your Dealer~I have a batch of brownies a person made me~ actually a worker who did work for me here~I did not eat them thus far~ as I live alone and would be afraid to mix the medications~ plus it is illegal~ anyway my son did stand up for me~ he wants to leave his wife in fact~ but he has three boys~ so it is rather hard~he visits me often and helps out a lot~ as i do not drive yet here in a city~ as I lived in the Country in N.B.~anyway can you suggest what to do when I feel drowsy~ I am feeling not so bad right now as the day progresses~
When you are drowsy, don't drive or do anything that could cause harm if you fell asleep while doing it..
Be careful of obstructions and react. If you are that drowsy, I suspect that it is the quetiapine making you feel this way. I would talk to the doctor about either reducing the dose or weaning you off of it altogether.
I sent what I wrote along as you suggested~ are you a Psychiatrist~ as you are the first person who did not seem against marijauna~ when I get to see a new Doctor here maybe they will give me a different formula~for sleep and anxiety~would taking melatonin hurt with what I am on already and does it give a person a full night's sleep~I guess right now I would not need it along with the other~I just wondered about it~ as I always had a sleep problem all my life~can you get it over the Counter~I almost look forward to going to bed~ as I know I will escape the pain of my loss for a few hours~ what do you suggest for the drowsy feeling~ maybe I stay in bed too long~ but again it passes the time~ I hate people who LOVE to travel and continually tell me I should~ since I can afford it~ trips like they enjoy stress me~ busy airports and so on~ my husband and I were quiet people and enjoyed the simple life and just taking short trips~I miss him so much and I don't know if Grief Councelling would help me~maybe only God can heal a broken heart~
Marijuana can be harmful to some and helpful to others. It is legal in some places so it is medically recognized as a medication.
Melatonin would not hurt you and is not contraindicated with the drugs you are taking.
I am not a psychiatrist but I served my internship under a psychiatrist, went to medical school for two years, was a chemistry major, and am trained in the use and effects of psychotropic medicine. I cannot and do not prescribe it.
I do not like travel (although I used to) and I do no like airports either. I like a quiet life.
If you are still suffering from grief or depression then some counselling sessions will help you.
If your glaucoma drops are helping and have no negative side effects, then you are being helped by taking them.
Is there any other way I can help you?
I am glad to hear that your son is supporting you.
I shall keep you in my prayers.
I feel that perhaps I should NOT be taking quietiapine then~ yet I would not want to go off it without a Doctor's approval~ with my family background I always chose a Psychiatrist~ as I saw my mother and others in my family suffer great side effects of medication their general Doctor prescribed~My mother actually needed Lithium~ which is not even a drug~the drowsy feeling eventually passes and I rarely take the half pill prescribed~I am not that drowsy that I would fall asleep~ just feel tired~ is going off this medication then the only solution~my Psychiatrist seemed to think that it would make me feel even better than marijauna~do you know if it helps OCD~I took lectopam for many years for sleep~is that in the same family~it was in my husband's name back then~ but I took it more than he did~three 3 mg made me sleep well~do you know about this drug and again what can I di to get rid of a drowsy feeling~ except go off the medication~sorry for so many questions
Other than take medications to combat the drowsiness, which I do not recommend,
I recommend that you do as much exercise as possible.
With the warmer weather approaching, I recommend brisk walks and any other kind of activity including household chores that might give you a bit of a workout.
Thanks~I do a lot of household chores and as I said the drowsy feeling eventually normally leaves~I just hate it in the mornings~ I get the feel that you think quietiavine is what is causing it then~
I have heard that before about quetiapine. Some of the reactions have been more severe in fact.
You cannot quit it abruptly without risking very bad side effects, so be warned.
I do not recommend caffeine and I think that using diet drinks could be positively harmful (especially aspartame).
Thanks~I see some people are on much higher doses than me~ for serious Mental disorders~that is what scared me abut it~25 mg is low as compared to what I see for others~is a coffee okay and I did quit diet drinks~ as I heard bad reviews about them~I wish now I could get off it~ although I might experience anxiety again~
Wean anything slowly and you can get off of it with minimum side effects.
I see that we have been chatting for about 1 1/2 hours.
If there is anything else that I can do for you, please let me know and I shall be happy to accommodate you.
I am saving and exiting this chat.
Warm regards,
Elliott, MAE, LPCC, NCC, CCMHC
I will close then and as I stated already I shall have to see a Doctor before weaning off~Martha

Sons of Anarchy and Hellboy star Ron Perlman has inked a book deal for his upcoming book, Easy Street—The Hard Way: A Memoir.
Da Capo Press will publish the memoir, recounting the actor's "rising from the streets of New York City's Washington Heights neighborhood." Folio Literary Management agent Katherine Latshaw negotiated the deal with executive editor Ben Schafer. Perlman will work with author Michael Largo on the book. Perlman had this quote in the release:
When my children decided to enter a life in the arts … I began to feel a growing obsession to say something that would be helpful. I concluded that any counsel I could provide would be empty without a sense of perspective; who was I when I started and who am I now? What did the business of making art look like back then and how did it transform into what it is today? After 40 years, I have certainly gained a great deal of perspective. Another certainty is that I love movies more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow. Cinema is too sacred a Humanity for us to leave in the hands of passionless, creativity-killing, corporate bottom-liners. Who we are as a culture is at stake. This is very personal for me. This is a chance to look back. And set the record straight.

text: It turns out nurturing your young child may help them regulate stress #I've got a parenting question!#babies#grown ups#lil kids#toddlers April 23 | Offbeat Editors offbeatbride Offbeat Home & Life runs these advice questions as an opportunity for our readers to share personal experiences and anecdotes. Readers are responsible for doing their own research before following any advice given here... or anywhere else on the web, for that matter. Photo by Spec-ta-cles, used under Creative Commons license. I am super intrigued by this article, Nurturing Moms May Boost Children's Brain Growth. Researchers are positing that children with nurturing mothers may experience brain growth in the hippocampus, the area of the brain that processes memories and helps you deal with stress. Note: they totally DID NOT include dads in the story, which is something I'd love to know about — does a nurturing father help in the same way? When the children were between 7 and 10 years old, the researchers brought them in for brain imaging. The scans showed that those whose mothers had been most supportive several years earlier had a significantly larger hippocampus — on both sides of the brain — nearly 10% larger than the same regions in children with less empathetic mothers. The hippocampus is crucial for recording and processing memory, a key function that predicts kids' learning and performance in school. The region is also believed to be important in regulating stress, but is threatened when the body's levels of stress hormones get too high. Previous research suggests that the effects of stress hormones on the hippocampus may help explain the link between stress and depression: when toxic levels of stress hormones cause shrinkage of the hippocampus, depression may result. During recovery, the region sprouts new cells. In the current study, the link between brain growth and maternal support seen in mentally healthy children did not reach statistical significance in those with early life depression. What this means is still unclear. It could be that good mothering is not powerful enough to counter the brain effects of depression. Or, looked at another way, it could mean that a mom's nurture helps prevent early depression from doing even more damage. Perhaps it may also protect against depression that occurs later in life. The study wasn't able to measure these effects. What the research did show is that in normal children, having a supportive mom is "directly related to healthy development of a key brain region known to impact cognitive functioning and emotion regulation," as the authors put it. So… nurturing mom = mellow kid? We'll see. To me, an interesting sub-question is the definition of "nurturing" — what does this mean and why? I'd love to know what you guys think!

Show/Hide comments [ 11 ] "To me, an interesting sub-question is the definition of "nurturing" — what does this mean and why?" This exactly! 9 agree Reply There is a link in the article to the published study, from there you can check out the "methods and materials" section which includes the measures used for "maternal support." It specifically cites that while caregivers filled out paperwork for the study, children had a wrapped gift placed in front of them which they had to wait to open. Each time the caregiver used "specific types of supportive strategies" to help the child control themselves, the researchers counted it as a unit of measurement. Of course, it is presumed that the caregiver did not know that their behavior was being measured at the time. So, one problem with the evidence is that the parent and child are in a public place, where behavior might be altered because of the "being watched" factor. Perhaps they were in a private room with some kind of monitoring, but the study doesn't mention it. I don't think it negates the results but it is something to keep in mind. 2 agree Reply Thanks for reading the study and reporting back. The ways they come up to measure abstract things like maternal tendency to nurture for these studies always seem so bizarre to me. 1 agrees Reply Gotta do *something* with my psych minor, right? 1 agrees Reply That's so odd!! So, given that basis, does it mean that if you have raised your kids to listen to you once with a rational explanation and they then don't whinge or whine to provoke some other 'nurturing' response, you aren't included as a 'nurturing' mum?! Reply It's probably completely true, but science has a way of mucking things up. What's nurturing, and why is that nurturing are important questions. Can't scolding, which is mentioned in the article, be a form of nurturing if it's done sensitively? Two more things before I go: speaking as a father, I can do that. Also, I sincerely hope that this doesn't become part of the "blame the mother" school of thought, so beloved of the media. James 6 agree Reply It's not so much that science mucks things up, but more that the reports that report on science muck things up! (ala http://xkcd.com/882/) (I'm not saying that scientists are infallible, simply that usually the problem happens when people who aren't so educated in science try to say what's been found in a scientific study. 3 agree Reply While this study is interesting, I'd want to see way more studies done before any conclusions are drawn. For instance, different measure of what it means to be "nurturing", add dads as well as moms, etc. But my biggest question is in "stress". Does nurturing cause a decrease in stress, or would simply shielding kids from external stressors be enough to have the same effect? An interesting start, but I'd want more studies on different variables before I start changing my parenting style or stressing about making my kids depressed. Reply Thanks for this article. One missing factor, whose absence quite frankly shocked me, was the element of trust. If parent says, "you can open the present when I'm done filling out this paperwork" and child knows from past experience that parent will keep the promise, child will be more apt to wait without fussing, as she knows she can trust the promise. On the flip side, if parent says the same to child and child knows from experience that parent will not keep the promise, then one could predict a outcome that is less than ideal, possibly displaying frustration, anger, temper tantrums, aggression. In addition, these two scenarios showcase conditioning. If child has learned that a temper tantrum will get her needs met, then that's what child will do, and vice versa. This is why research is so mucky. There are so many variables that it's hard to pinpoint them all. I think that all parents can take away an important message from this study: treat your child with respect, support her autonomy, and encourage her to make her own decisions. Reply This is great! although I must say I find it hilarious that we humans find the need to study and prove everything that is pretty obvious even with out the study. Good, loving parents = happy, less stressed kid… seems obvious to me. I read an article recently that said they have proven that excersizing in nature is better for your mental health because there is an enzyme in soil that becomes airborne and acts as an anti-depressent…no shit! I mean who really cares about the enzyme…anyone who is the least bit self refective and has had a chance to walk in the woods and also on a treadmill knows that they feel better after being outside! But when it comes right down to it nowadays lots of us just want to know the whys and hows of pretty much everything 🙂 Reply The thing is, there are lots of studies which show evidence against a lot of "common sense" and "wisdom" that we take for granted. So for every few "Well, duh" studies, there is one that can really change what we think we know about how humans work. So psychology can seem a little tricky, hard to measure, and sometimes almost pointless, but sometimes there are really useful gains. On top of that, measuring variables of "common sense" ideas can really illuminate how the balances of those things play out for people, like how too much general praise can actually make a kid less confident while specific, detailed and earned praise can make a kid more confident.

Jamaica and Kenya
Food and culture
the spicy jerk chicken wings
jamician music
Dancehall, or reggae, music has inspired a number of dance styles as well. To understand the evolution of popular dance, it helps to understand the musical progression. Ska music, with fast beats, also had fast dances. The slow to rocksteady also developed slower dances, allowing dancers to stay on the floor longer. Reggae is associated with many things, including the Rastafarian movement, but influenced the newer styles. Dancehall music often creates its own dances based on moves in the lyrics of the songs themselves. Soca music from Trinidad and Tobago is popular with most of the popular artists from Trinidad, but many soca Jamaican artist such as Byron Lee, Fab 5, and Lovindeer are famous but also represent Jamaican music

Nine-Nights is a funerary tradition practiced in the Caribbean primarily in Jamaica. It is an extended wake that lasts for several days, with roots in African tradition
Nine-Nights are no longer a time to mourn but a time to celebrate since the loved one is no longer suffering in life. When friends come they do not come with just condolences they come with food, drink and music

Originally from the influence of Indians, flatbread chapatis are popular in Kenya, and all over East Africa. They are rolled out and fried in oil until becoming crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Sometimes they are eaten as a snack with tea, and other times along with stew or vegetables.
The traditional food of Kenya has evolved to incorporate a little bit of the exotic spicy aromas and the delights of coconut milk blend with introduced foods from faraway lands. The history of Kenya and its cuisine are now forever linked
Nyama choma is the East African style of roasted meat. Real grazed meat or chicken is freshly butchered and slow roasted over coals with nothing more than salt. The meat is often eaten plain and dipped in more salt or accompanied by chilies and a tomato salsa known as kachumbari
One of the most popular forms of pop music is Benga, which combines traditional African drum and dance rhythms with modern electrical sounds and melodys

Around half the population are Christians, 10% Muslim and there are small Hindu and Sikh minorities. The balance of the population follows traditional African, often animist, beliefs. Christians tend to be concentrated in the west and central sections of the country while Muslims cluster in the eastern coastal regions.

If Maumelle wanted to make the last week of 4A-4 conference play exciting, it succeeded.
The Hornets' last two games at home were close ones with Maumelle (17-9) defeating Dardanelle, 61-58, and Subiaco, 61-56. With the victories, the Hornets finished conference play with a 13-1 mark and are co-champs with Pottsville. However, they take the number two seed into this week's district tournament.
"We were practicing winning close games," Coach Michael Shook joked. "Dardanelle was significantly better than the first time we played them, and I knew we would have distractions (senior night)."
In the first meeting, Maumelle defeated Dardanelle, 66-28. Subiaco is always tough as the Hornets won by three (54-51) in the first meeting, and the Trojans also played Pottsville close last week. Against Dardanelle, sophomore JB Minix was the only double digit scorer with 16 points. Junior Kendall Donnerson was the leading scorer against Subiaco with 17 points. Sophomore Tyshun Robinson added 13 and freshman Shawn Williams chipped in 11.
Against Dardanelle, the Hornets were down 19-6 after the first quarter. A 26-5 run in the second period gave them a 32-24 halftime margin. Although Maumelle never trailed again, the second quarter was the only period they outscored Dardanelle.
"They handled our press well and shot well," Shook said. "Their coach said all year long they have had trouble scoring, but they shot much better against us. We usually shoot around 50 percent, and we were just a little over 36 percent."
District play began Monday at Booneville, and Maumelle gets a bye until Thursday. The Hornets will meet the winner of last night's Booneville-Waldron game at 5:45. With four teams advancing to regionals, the top two conference teams already secured a spot to the regionals to be held at Maumelle. Although the Hornets and Pottsville are co-champs, Pottsville notched the number one seed because of points. However, Shook likes the Hornets' spot.
"The Pottsville coach and I were talking to clarify the seeds, and we both agree the number two seed seems to be easier," Shook said. "Subiaco is number four and played Pottsville to within one last week."
The hard part about this week is the teams are playing each other for the third time. One thing Shook is doing in practice this week is working on some set plays the Hornets installed early in the year but got away from using going into the motion offense. He wants the Hornets to have backup plays if necessary.
While Maumelle already has a spot in regionals, Shook is expressing to his players the difference between the number one and two seeds and the number three and four seeds from the 1A. That is the motivation to win this week.

Intent of the next generation of family members: 'hard keep'em down on the family farm'
Will the next generation of family members be willing to enter an existing family business or start one of their own? This question would seem to have received some attention in the literature over the last two decades, but what has made those studies come into question in the last five years? The emergence of the next generation of adolescents who will be making their own decisions, whether to join their family's business are to start a new family business themselves. This study examines the issue of willingness to enter into a family business or start a new business of next generation members. In addition, the study includes some cross cultural dimension in that, the study was conducted in Australia amongst a culturally diverse set of students in a private university (many of which came from family owned and operated businesses).

Is there another grade /family of machines that give almost similar quality but able to print on uncoated /diverse kind of media, cheaper inks (aqua or other), and minimum double or more speed. Any cost-effective alternatives please
I just posted a blog post that has some photos and a video of a top notch UV Curable printer running. http://www.on-sight.com/what-my-days-look-like-as-a-consultant/
Some cool stuff. especially intrigued with the direct to dibond you showed in the video. Curious as to the finish for a print like that, is it similar to the chromaluxe dye sub aluminum prints as far as smoothness and gloss?

THE team behind a successful food event are looking for volunteers to give them a hand this year.
Northallerton's award-winning Homegrown Food Festival will this year be held on June 29 and the group behind it is looking for people willing to become "festival makers."
Volunteer duties range from assisting renowned local and celebrity chefs in the food theatre, site-marshalling, to site set-up and tear down – and, for the more adventurous, even dressing up in vegetable costumes.
To be part of the event contact the chair of the Homemade Food Group, Sally Anderson, on 07906 662403.
As a run-up to the festival the group is also inviting people to join in a special "Homegrown Forage" in Northallerton's town square on May 17 from 10am to 1pm.
Wild food and survival expert Dave Tully will be on hand to show the variety of the "food for free" growing in hedgerows and green spaces in and around the town.
The event will mark the launch of the Northallerton Wild Food Map which will be on display at the festival.
*The group is holding its AGM and a volunteer information evening on May 15 at 6.30pm, upstairs at the Tithe Bar, Friarage Street, Northallerton.

What Can it Help?
According to Harris, Enfleurage customers are looking for help with daily issues. "The most general desires are wanting to relax, to sleep, to focus, and to stimulate the brain," she says. While aromatherapy shops can create a custom mixes for your personal needs, modern aromatherapy lines like 21 drops offer targeted blends for everything from headaches to moodiness to indigestion.
How it works
When you inhale deeply through your nose, fragrant oil molecules pass up your nose to the Limbic System. In layman's terms, that's the part of your brain that influences your emotions and moods. Breathing deeply helps activate the effects of aromatherapy.
What to Look For
The most common issues are relaxing and getting sleep. For those, Harris says, "the most popular oils would include lavender, jasmine, rose, ylang ylang, sandalwood, and frankincense." If you're looking for memory and mental stimulation, she says, "Try rosemary, peppermint, bergamot, and eucalyptus."
How To Use
There are a few different ways to incorporate aromatherapy into your everyday life. Harris recommends using oil diffusers at home or even while you're working to help you relax or focus. The quickest way to get an aromatherapy fix is to apply essential oils to pulse points like wrists, neck, or behind your neck.
The Verdict
It's no surprise that we're fans of 21 drops Aromatherapy Blends, which come in cute rollerballs that make it easy to apply throughout the day. Using a fragrant body lotion at the end of the day can also help you unwind. Sabon®'s Body Lotion is infused with aromatherapy oils like lavender, ginger, and vanilla. On days when you have a little extra time, try taking a long bath using aromatic bath salts. No matter what medium you choose, there is only one rule of aromatherapy: breathe deeply.

Province announces increase in civil claims limit
CALGARY – The province will be doubling the limit on civil claims in Alberta.
As of August 1st, the limit in Provincial Court will change from $25,000 to $50,000.
In addition, officials hope to streamline direct civil claims by launching a pilot project in Calgary and Edmonton in the fall.
They say it will help Albertans whose cases can benefit from early intervention.
"The mission of the Provincial Court of Alberta is to deliver quality justice on an accessible, affordable and timely basis," says Terrence Matchett, Chief Judge, Provincial Court of Alberta.
"The increase in the financial jurisdiction of our Court to $50,000 and the Court's decision to implement resolution tracks will, together with existing dispute resolution mechanisms, enable more people to access our Court to resolve their civil disputes in a timely and cost-effective manner," he adds.
Officials made the announcement on Monday in both Calgary and Edmonton.

Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive
Night View Assist Plus
Should the thermal imaging camera recognise pedestrians or large animals such as deer in the road ahead, the speedometer in the instrument cluster display will automatically switch to a bright night vision image. People and animals are marked in colour in this image, therefore making them clearly visible. The spotlight function can also be used to flash at people within this warning zone.
Visibly safer.
More detailed information
Changes may have been made since these images and films were produced.
Night View Assist Plus includes two separate LED headlamps that shine an invisible and non-dazzling infrared light onto the road. A near-infrared camera designed specifically for this type of light, located in the upper section of the windscreen, together with a far-infrared camera (thermal imaging camera) set into the radiator grille, are able to recognise what is happening in front of the car and activate the system's warning functions.
If the so-called "pop-up" function has been activated, a bright grey-scale image of the road
and the area in front of the vehicle appears in the display of the instrument cluster as soon as a potential risk is identified – whereby people and animals in the relevant warning zone, within 160 m of the car, are highlighted in colour and thus clearly distinguishable.
If there are people within this warning zone, the spotlight function set earlier will become active on unlit roads and at speeds over 60 km/h. A special module in the front headlamp flashes several times at any person in the critical zone to provide a warning. This alerts both the driver and the person at risk to the potential danger. The flashing function is not used in the case of animals, since their reaction is unpredictable.
In its basic setting, Night View Assist Plus is set to "Automatic activation of night vision image", in other words the pop-up function is activated. In this case Night View Assist remains active in the background. However, as soon as it detects a person or an animal within the danger zone on an unlit road, it automatically activates transfer of the image to show the situation on the display screen. Once the risk area has been passed, the image in the display automatically switches off again. As hitherto, the system can however be kept permanently switched on.

USC's Martin and wife help raise thousands for cancer research
Fri, 12 Jul 2013 19:41:51 GMT —
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) - South Carolina head men's basketball coach Frank Martin and his wife Anya helped raise $140,000 for cancer research at the inaugural "B-Ball of the South" benefit this past spring.
The event was held in early May at Colonial Life Arena. More than 250 people attended the Kentucky Derby-themed benefit, which featured a live auction of items like signed game-worn shoes from NBA stars Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, as well as other items such as dinner at the Martins' home and a personalized guitar from Darius Rucker.
The $140,000 raised came from donations and the live auction, and will benefit "Coaches vs. Cancer," a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
A who's who of basketball attended the event, including West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins, former Missouri head coach Norm Stewart, and former Southern California head coach George Raveling. Several local legends like Tyrone Corbin and coach George Glymph were also in attendance along with dozens of Gamecock alumni.
The Martins are hoping to make this an annual event in Columbia after the family's scare with cancer. Anya Martin's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago, and is now recovering.
