When demonstrating the Boonton 4500B to customers, a question often arises regarding the nature of the shape of the observed pulse when viewing in logarithmic mode. The trailing edge appears to display a slow decay, and there can be concern that the instrument is not showing a faithful reproduction of the pulse. The following article explains this phenomenon, which is present for all diode power sensors regardless of manufacturer, and shows that it has a negligible effect on measurement.
Pulse Power in Logarithmic ScaleIn the Boonton 4500B, pulse power is a triggered mode of operation with a setup very similar to an oscilloscope including selections for auto or normal trigger mode, source selection, level, slope, holdoff and delay. 4500B has an integrated standard feature which allows automatic delay by events rather than by time only. This capability is useful for selecting a particular pulse in a burst of pulses.
Pulse Power in Linear ScaleA practical example to illustrate the need for sophisticated triggering in a Power meter is the analysis of a pulse position modulated (PPM) signal. As the name implies, PPM is a data-encoding scheme where the position of the transmitted pulses is modified. Typically this will result in a long stream of pulses that are unevenly spaced in time. For the purposes of this technical note the signal to be measured is a group of six 1 us wide pulses in a burst that repeats every 100 us.
Trailing Edge CharacteristicsReturning to a logarithmic scale, the next screen shot focuses on the beginning of this tail.
The markers show that te break point occurs approximately 20dB below the top of the pulse, equating to about 1% of the pulse power. With this in mind it should be noted that a pulse fall time is normally measured between the 90% and 10% levels, and so will not be influenced by this characteristic.
The falling edge of most diode detectors is slightly slower than the rising edge, and this difference is magnified by the asymmetry introduced by the display units. There are two reasons for this slower falling edge, the first being due to the fact that the effective series impedance of the detector diodes is lower at high signal levels. From the point of view of the output capacitance, the diode impedance is in parallel with an external load impedance. So at low levels the time constant will be somewhat extended. In the fastest sensors the load impedance term dominates, so this effect is negligible. In higher sensitivity "slow" sensors such as CW sensors or the 56518, the load impedance is large enough that the level dependent diode impedance comes into play, reducing bandwidth at low signal levels.
Secondly, the sensor's built-in amplifier has some settling time. Since this is a multi-stage amplifier, the settling is more visible on the falling edge, again primarily due to the logarithmic units.
Comparison Between Linear and Logarithmic ScaleThe following chart once again illustrates a pulse in both the logarithmic and linear displays. An Excel spreadsheet has been used to introduce filtering, and the result shows the pulse in both dBm and mW.
The leading edge compression and trailing edge expansion is very clear when the log scale is used. In linear mW, the leading and trailing edges appear symmetrical.
ConclusionAs previously mentioned, the detectors in other manufacturers' sensors are similar to Boonton's, and will therefore also generate tails. Our tests in the past have indicated that some models include circuitry which "cancels out" this tail, and while it makes the visible trace drop to the noise floor much more quickly, there is still a behind-the-scenes noise floor. This means that it can be difficult to detect a low level pulse immediately following a high level pulse. Boonton does not disguise this effect, and so such problems are not an issue.

Born under the crumbling towers of Oren-yaro, Queen Talyien's life unfolded like a storybook. The shining jewel and legacy of the bloody War of the Wolves that nearly tore her nation apart, her marriage to Rayyel, the son of her father's rival, spoke of peaceful days to come.
But all storybooks must end. Rayyel's sudden departure before their reign began created fractures that left the land as divided as ever.
Years later, Talyien receives a message from Rayyel, urging her to meet with him across the sea. An assassination attempt interrupts Talyien's quest for reconciliation, sending the queen struggling in a strange and dangerous land. With betrayals in every twist and turn, she is forced to enlist the help of a con-artist to survive and save her husband from the clutches of those who would seek to use him for their gain…if he would let her.
I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC of The Wolf of Oren-yaro from the author, so I read it once in the fall of 2017, and then read it again earlier this month to refresh my memory before typing up this review in time for the book's release.
If you're unfamiliar with Villoso's previous works (or even if you have read some of her earlier books, like Birthplace or The Agartes Epilogues) I will begin by saying that her stories are primarily character-driven. Her worldbuilding is excellent, so much so that instead of laying it out for you like a blueprint, she releases it to you slowly, through the eyes and thoughts of her characters, until you suddenly have an entire town, a country, a continent laid out before you without having realized it.
The Wolf of Oren-yaro focuses on Talyien, a Queen meant to co-rule with her husband Rayyel in a union devised from their childhood in order to put an end to fighting that has torn through their lands. Unfortunately, Rayyel is gone, leaving Talyien to rule a country that doesn't want to be ruled. Or at least not by her.
We come upon Talyien several years into this task. Her warlords are rustling with rebellion. The other neighboring lands give her little to no respect. And if she's not careful, she and her son might be assassinated and replaced by someone… anyone willing to make such a bold move. In order to restore some semblance of peace, Talyien attempts to find Rayyel and bring him back to help her rule. But it is when the meeting goes awry that Talyien realizes there is no one she can trust, and the bubble of royalty in which she's been raised has not fully prepared her to fight for her throne.
We see all of this through Talyien's eyes. Told in first person, we're never left in doubt of her feelings, her opinion of the characters revolving around her. From con artists to mad rulers, she must use all of her wits, her persistence, her courage to keep from falling prey to those willing to use her as a tool, or simply get her out of the way.
Villoso's main strength, as already mentioned, is in her characters. But this is backed up by strong pacing, lovely prose, and underlying themes of a daughter's feelings of inadequacy in her father's shadow, all of which are woven through every page until it works into a beautiful tapestry that easily juggles court intrigue and politics as well.
I recommend The Wolf of Oren-Yaro to people who like or are looking for first-person narratives, female protagonists, non-European fantasy settings, female authors, and stories that might break your heart, just a little bit.

Tim Corbin caught himself daydreaming for a moment after his Vanderbilt Commodores were selected as the top overall seed in the NCAA baseball tournament.
"I just cut it short because I know that it is not over and I don't want it to turn into a nightmare,'' the Commodores coach said Monday. "I want it to keep going and going and going. I don't want to wake up. I just want the kids to keep enjoying what they are doing at this point.''
The Commodores (51-11), the Southeastern Conference regular-season and tournament champions, will host one of 16 four-team, double-elimination regionals that begin Friday.
"You have got the bull's-eye,'' Corbin said. "But we have worn that bull's-eye for so long now that I don't even know if it is a bull's-eye anymore. It has kind of worn off. And I think that is a remarkable thing. We just go about business the same way.''
Vanderbilt, led by star left-hander David Price and slugging third baseman Pedro Alvarez, was ranked No. 1 in various polls for the majority of the season. The Commodores open against Ohio Valley Conference champion Austin Peay (39-20).
"There is no team that you can take lightly,'' catcher Shea Robin said. "Every team in here is one of the top 64 teams in the country and there is no reason to take them lightly.''
The other national seeds, in order, are: Rice (49-12), North Carolina (48-12), Texas (44-15), Arizona State (43-13), Florida State (47-11), Arkansas (41-19) and San Diego (43-16). As national seeds, those teams won't have to face each other unless they make it to the College World Series.
"Back in August, our goal was to get to the College World Series and now we have that opportunity,'' said Florida State coach Mike Martin, who's in his 28th season and looking for his first national title. "We've got a chance to play all our games right at home and that's the reward that we get for what we accomplished during the regular season.''
All 16 of the host schools selected Sunday are No. 1 seeds in their regionals. The other top seeds are: Coastal Carolina (48-11), Long Beach State (37-18), Mississippi (37-23), Missouri (40-16), South Carolina (42-18), Texas A&M (44-16), Virginia (43-14) and Wichita State (49-19).
"The committee spent a great deal of time on the seeding process, more so than I've ever been involved in from Nos. 9 to 16,'' Division I selection committee chairman Larry Templeton said. "It seemed that 1 through 8 came together fairly easy, but who the other eight seeds were, we spent a great deal of time on.''
The winners of each regional will advance to the super regionals, played June 8-11. The eight winners of the super regionals will play in the College World Series, which starts June 15 in Omaha, Neb.
The Atlantic Coast Conference led the tournament field with seven teams. Joining Florida State, North Carolina and Virginia are Clemson, Miami, North Carolina State and Wake Forest.
The Big 12 had six teams, with Baylor, Nebraska and Oklahoma State joining Missouri, Texas and Texas A&M.
After getting eight berths last season and nine in 2005 and 2004, the SEC got just five teams. It's the fewest for the conference since getting four in 1994 - five years before the NCAA expanded the tournament from 48 to 64 teams.
"I'm not happy the Southeastern Conference only got five, but I respect the other nine people on our committee that made that decision,'' said Templeton, also the athletic director at Mississippi State. "The majority of the committee felt that we should go a different direction, and I support that move.''
Miami (36-22) is making its 35th straight tournament appearance to extend its NCAA record. Meanwhile, Brown (27-19) is making its first appearance after winning the Ivy League title.
Vanderbilt earns top overall seed
Tim Corbin caught himself daydreaming for a moment after his Vanderbilt Commodores were selected as the top overall seed in the NCAA baseball tournament.

"To hijack four big airliners within a few minutes and fly them into targets within a single hour and doing so on complicated flight routes! That is unthinkable, without backing from the secret apparatuses of state and industry." - German intelligence official and Defense Ministry Secretary of State, Andreas Von Bulow, who wrote the book "The CIA and September 11."
"The deathly precision of the attacks and the magnitude of planning would have required years of planning. Such a sophisticated operation would require the fixed frame of a state intelligence organization, something not found in a loose group, like the one led by the student Mohammed Atta in Hamburg." - Eckehardt Werthebach, former president of Germany's domestic intelligence service.
"Terrorists could not have carried out such an operation with four hijacked planes without the support of a secret service." - Horst Ehmke, former coordinator of the West German secret services.
The question has come up: is there enough concrete evidence to convict any of the perpetrators behind 9/11, if the facts spread widely enough to begin calls for justice? It is important to remember that when you are busting a conspiratorial organization like the Mafia, you do not aim at the head on the most spectacular charges. You choose the easy to prove charges, such as tax evasion, even against underlings, in order to get people facing jail time so they will start talking.
Prime candidates for such charges are:
Rudy Giuliani for felony destruction of evidence at a crime scene, the 99.5% of the structural steel which he had sent to China to be melted. The steel would have confirmed, as aerial photography shows beyond a shadow of a doubt, that these were demolitions. You see the cleanly cut, uniform length pieces of steel scattered across the WTC complex. The official story says the steel got soft and buckled. But almost all the steel in the photo is perfectly straight, and cut straight across as by a demolition charge. The contracts for shipping the steel to China and India are signed by Giuliani's agent under his authority as Mayor of New York. An open and shut case which could get him talking. (See: 9/11 Prosecution Plan: Start with Rudy Giuliani)
- Dick Cheney for failing to shoot down FLT 77 (or whatever it was) as it came in at the Pentagon, which they had locked on radar and about which an officer kept asking him "do the orders still stand?" This is nearly an hour after the second tower was hit and we knew we were under attack.
Norman Mineta, Secretary of Transportation, testimony to 9/11 Commission, 9/11 Commission Report pages 8-9:
[Mineta]: There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, "The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" (See: HistoryCommons)
(9:38 a.m.-10:00 a.m.) September 11, 2001: Senior Officials Unable to Contact Defense Secretary Rumsfeld Immediately after the Pentagon was hit, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld left his office and headed to the crash scene (see 9:38 a.m. September 11, 2001). For the 20 minutes or so that he is gone, others are desperately trying to contact him. Among those seeking Rumsfeld are Stephen Cambone, his closest aide, who is currently in the Pentagon's Executive Support Center (see Shortly After 9:03 a.m. September 11, 2001), and also the National Military Command Center (see 9:39 a.m. September 11, 2001).Officer Aubrey Davis of the Pentagon police, who is accompanying Rumsfeld, is receiving frantic calls over his radio saying, "Where's the secretary? Where's the secretary?" Davis is unable to answer these requests. He later recalls, "I kept saying, 'We've got him,' but the system was overloaded, everyone on the frequency was talking, everything jumbled, so I couldn't get through and they went on asking." A senior White House official, who is in its Situation Room trying to coordinate a response to the attacks, will later angrily condemn Rumsfeld for having been out of touch during such a critical period. He says, "What was Rumsfeld doing on 9/11? He deserted his post. He disappeared. The country was under attack. (See: HistoryCommons)
- Members of the first 9/11 Commission as accomplices in the cover up of the crime. Why did they exclude all testimony of firefighters and first responders of explosions rocking the buildings? Why did they exclude all evidence of thermitic compounds, which should have blown the roof off the investigation and started the immediate commencement of a criminal investigation? (See: Richard Gage letter to Congressman Robert Wexler)
These are solid charges they could be hauled into court on, with the objective of cutting deals to get them talking about who else was involved.
Sure, there is strong evidence it goes back to Mossad. Confirmed Mossad agents caught dancing and high-fiving as the towers burned, who had cameras trained on the towers BEFORE they were hit, were deported, possibly by Michael Chertoff who was head of the FBI's criminal division. Imagine if Arabs had had cameras set up and focused on the towers before they were hit. They would be guaranteed rotting in Gitmo to this day.
But in order to get to foreign accomplices first we need to put the heat on our own traitors.
There are plenty of material witnesses, Dov Zakheim who "lost" the $2.3 trillion from the Pentagon and invented remote hijack technology, and who comes from a family of known terrorists; Dr. Steven Pieczenik who says a general on Paul Wolfowitz's staff confirmed it was a false flag, and will say it in open court; all the Neocon members of Project for a New American Century, who dreamed of "a new Pearl Harbor" so we could invade the Middle East.
Project for a New American Century would be fertile ground for material witnesses. The dual citizen Neocons in the Bush administration had been dreaming about bombing the hell out of Iraq for a decade, the only bulwark against Israeli geopolitical ambitions. Douglas Feith and Richard Perle wrote a paper about this for Netanyahu, entitled ""A Clean Break: A New Strategy for the Realm." Now they've got exactly what they wanted: a destroyed Iraqi society full of depleted uranium-deformed babies.
Richard Perle. [Source: Public domain]
The Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies, an Israeli think tank, publishes a paper titled "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm." [Washington Times, 10/7/2002; Chicago Sun-Times, 3/6/2003] The paper, whose lead author is neoconservative Richard Perle, is meant to advise the new, right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Other authors include:
influential neoconservative academic and former Bush adviser Richard Perle, primarily responsible for the content of the paper;
Meyrav Wurmser, the future director of the neoconservative Hudson Institute's Center for Middle East Policy;
her husband David Wurmser, the future chief adviser for Middle East policy for future vice-president Dick Cheney;
neoconservative Douglas Feith, who will be the prime architect of the Iraq war;
and a number of lesser-known neoconservatives, including James Colbert, Charles Fairbanks, Jr., Jeffrey T. Bergner, Jonathan Torop, and Robert Loewenberg.
Rebuilding Zionism by Abandoning Past Policies – It advocates making a complete break with past policies by adopting a strategy "based on an entirely new intellectual foundation, one that restores strategic initiative and provides the nation the room to engage every possible energy on rebuilding Zionism.…" [Guardian, 9/3/2002]

While there are some differences with respect to Haplogroup G, paragroup F* which includes J1 (M267) and Haplogroup T (M9), the authors go on to state:
The Iranian Arab group shows close affinities with the Bakhtiari and other Iranian Indo-European-speaking groups for both mtDNA and the Y chromosome. In fact, for both mtDNA and theYchromosome, all of the Indo-Europeanspeaking and Semitic-speaking groups from West Asia exhibit generally low levels of differentiation (i.e. Fst values are less than 0.05). The significant correlation between mtDNA and NRY Fst values, as shown by the Mantel test, further indicates that there are no substantial differences between patterns of mtDNA and NRY variation in this region of the world. The lack of significant differentiation between west Asian Semitic-speaking and Indo-European-speaking groups indicates that language has not been a substantial barrier to gene flow in this part of the world.
Iran shows some of the highest levels of Haplogroup M172 in the world. When one factors in the population of Iran, it may be one of the most populous countries of men bearing the mutation defining Haplogroup J2. But did Haplogroup J2 originate in Iran? This topic is far more complicated and most sources simply indicate its origin as the Northern Portion of the Fertile crescent which could include the northern Levant, Anatolia, Syria, Iraq or Iran. Certainly many subclades of Haplogroup J2 have likely developed outside Iran. Reguiero et al typed their DNA samples in Iran for numerous subclades of J2 which were not found to be present including M137, M158, M163, M280, M318, M319, M321, M339 and M340. These subclades more likely developed and spread from another area of the Near East. Thus Iran is likely not the source region for these particular subclades but could still be one of a few geographical regions of origin for some of the earliest M172 bearing men.

Working from home, I usually eat lunch in less than 15 minutes (often in front of my computer) but I still like to enjoy something homemade and delicious. Whenever I cook meat or fish for dinner, I have taken the habit of always making a little more so I have some leftover to incorporate in a a different recipe the next day.
This salad is so easy to make, it almost feels like a cheat. Still, it's much more flavorful and good for you than any deli chicken salad (which usually swims in mayo). I made this recipe with a grilled chicken breast and found the charred barbecue flavor added a lot to the dish, but I'm sure it would be just as delightful with leftover roasted chicken. I happened to have homemade mayo on hand, but feel free to use storebought (that's what I usually do). Asparagus are so quick to cook that the only thing you have to worry about is to have some in the fridge. The salad is hearty and creamy, with a welcome quick from the curry powder, and a nice little crunch from the sliced almonds. Pile it on a bagel, roll it in a pita bread or scoop it on a bed of lettuce and enjoy!
Serves two
For the mayo
¼ cup [60 ml] mayonnaise (or half-and-half mayo/plain yogurt)
1 tbsp [15 ml] freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp [5 ml] Madras curry powder
¼ tsp [1.25 ml] cayenne pepper
For the salad
1 cup [250 ml] chopped leftover cooked chicken
½ cup [125 ml] chopped cooked asparagus (about 10 stalks – see note)
1 green onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp [30 ml] toasted sliced almonds
2 tbsp [30 ml] Italian parsley, finely chopped
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the mayo ingredients together. Add all the salad ingredients to the bowl. Mix well to make sure all the ingredients are coated with the curry mayo. Taste and season with salt if needed.
Serve in a bagel, a pita bread, in a sandwich or on a bed of lettuce.
Note: To cook the asparagus: snap the stalks to get rid of the thicker, fibrous ends. Rinse the asparagus and put them, still wet, in a microwave-proof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, then cook for about 1 minute; make sure to adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of the asparagus you're using. You want the asparagus crisp-tender, not mushy. Rinse the asparagus under cold water to stop the cooking and cool them off. Chop and add to the salad.

Every detail of your trip will be handled by experienced agents, from the routing and aircraft selection, to ground transportation, in flight catering and services, andmore
When you need to travel to $place $airport code $airport name, and there are no available flights when you need to be there, you can find travel service by renting a private jet. To find out if your airport has private jet service, you can call the airport or even look online. Your reservations and travel plans can be discussed with the private jet service and a flight can be made available to you and to your group if you are traveling with others. Your private jet is the quickest and surest way of being at your event wherever the private jet has service to if you are unwilling to use public air transports or need the special care and attention that only your own private jet can give you.
Traveling by way of a private jet or plane used to be something that most people just admired from afar as they waited in line for their commercial flight. However, nowadays people have learned the secret in how they too can become a passenger on a private aircraft, and that is by waiting for the special rates. There are usually special rates for people traveling to $place because many tourists enjoy going for their vacation. By taking a private aircraft, they are making sure that they get there quickly and in luxury. The pilot of a private aircraft knows that their passengers who enjoy going to $place and therefore, are able to offer discounted rates when flying into $airport code, $airport name because they can get several flights going back and forth to this popular destination.
When a person is chartering a jet to $place $airport code $airport name they will need to consider the costs associated with traveling. Since the down turn in the economy most high level executives must be ready to move at a moments notice to meet with current or prospective clients which is where chartering a jet can really make the difference between landing the deal or losing out to a competitor.( ( With the rising costs of fuel an individual will need to do some comparative shopping. When reviewing the quotes from the prospective jet chartering service providers is sure to get an all inclusive quote. This will enable business traveler to determine which is the most cost, effective solution for their particular needs and deadline to meet with their clients.
There are two ways to travel by air. You can travel either by commercial airline or by private jet. When traveling on a commercial airline you need to first buy a ticket, then go to the airport, check in baggage, go through a security check and then board the plane with many other strangers. This can be quite a hassle after a while. However with a private jet you will be able to board a plane without having to deal with any of those things.

Better known abroad by its German name, Saaz, the region of Zatec north of Prague is world famous as the home of wonderfully aromatic hops, which are used to add flavor to Czech beer but also to European, American and even Japanese brews. This month Zatec celebrated one thousand years of recorded history -- much of it turbulent.
This week, we'll be visiting the town of Jihlava, which is located at the very border of Bohemia and Moravia, dividing the eastern and western parts of the Czech Republic. In fact, no-one knows which of the two regions it belongs to and town residents agree that it spreads over both of them. Jihlava has a population of 53,000 and its earliest written record dates back to the 12th century when it was founded thanks to the discovery of silver.
Even though this year's August weather has been hot and sunny so far, things could not have been more different exactly two years ago, when many towns in the Czech Republic were affected by heavy floods. The waters didn't reach Prague until August 13, a couple of days after dozens of towns and villages in the south of the country had already found themselves under water. Edita Kucerova, who lives in the beautiful South-Bohemian town of Pisek recalls these events.
Southeast Bohemia's Landstejn Castle found south-east of Jindrichuv Hradec, close to the Czech - Moravian - Austrian border, remains one of the Czech Republic's most imposing structures. The famous Romanesque ruin, originally designed to protect Bohemia's frontiers as well as to guard an ancient trade route to Austria, was built in the early 13th century.
For today's Spotlight we've come to the town of Lounovice pod Blanikem, pod Blanikem meaning "under Blanik", a mountain associated with some of the most colourful and famous of Czech legends. They say the story of the Knights of Blanik was first told to Charles IV by a blind young man, who was travelling through his kingdom.
The number of poor people and rent dodgers has been growing rapidly in some areas in north Bohemia. The reason - availability of extremely cheap housing. Property owners from around the country have found a cheap and simple way of getting rid of problematic tenants. At the same time, it is a solution for poor families who can no longer afford to pay high rents in Prague and other big cities. Local authorities have expressed concern about the development and are seeking ways to fight it.
When you ask Czechs to describe the North Bohemian town of Most, the most common answer is a grey mining town that expelled its entire native German population after the Second World War and offers few things to do or see. But fact is that Most, with its population of over 68,000, is today a thriving place that offers several noteworthy sights and plenty to do.
In today's edition of Spotlight, Dita Asiedu visits the little village of Hrcava. Hidden in the Beskydy Mountains in the Moravian-Silesian region, it is the easternmost village in the country. And although Hrcava lies at the end of a long and windy road uphill, it is well worth a visit as, once you get there, you find one of the most beautiful landscapes in the country with a breathtaking view of neighbouring Poland and Slovakia.

If you can't tell yet, I've recently become a huge fan of monthly subscription boxes. And guess what, my kids have too! They love getting new surprises in the mail each month, especially if it's a cool package to open, and I love the joy and excitement on their faces when they open a new box.
Their latest subscription box addition is from The Story Box and every month they each get a new book that's fit for their age. We make time almost on a daily basis to sit down and explore the characters and adventures that what await inside their books. Let's just say their reading collection has grown at such a rapid pace that the book shelf I made them a few months ago just isn't big enough anymore.
The Story Box has 3 different box options to choose from, but they all include a parent guide and 2 books that are curated by a speech-language pathologist.
- Board Books Package – for children ages 0 to 2.5 years.
- Picture Books Package – for children ages 2.5 to 6 years.
- Family Package – for families with children in both age ranges.
Since I have a 1 year old (as of tomorrow!) and a 4 year old, I chose the Family Package. The selections in our August box included a board book entitled Sheep Go To Sleep, and a picture book entitled Shark's Big Surprise.
My kids were super excited to see they got some new stories to read and couldn't wait to get into them. Yesterday was pretty gloomy and rainy, which actually cooled down the weather a little bit. So after the rain stopped, we headed to our bench outside to enjoy the nice, cool evening and spend some time experiencing their new books.
And these aren't just your ordinary run of the mill books. There's so much to enjoy about them. For starters, the board books are perfect for my toddler because she can't tear them up. She has an interest in ripping things apart – tissue, magazines, and even her brothers books. She's already destroyed a handful of his books. So it's a big plus we can enjoy a book with her that she can't demolish.
As for the picture books for my son, I love that they come with suggested challenges that I, as the parent, can challenge and help my son with. For example, one of the suggestions included on the parent guide for Shark's Big Surprise was to talk with my son about the sound each animal makes in the story and then do a small recall activity to see if he could match the sound with its animal. So not only is my son getting to experience a new world and story with the book, but I can also help develop his mind and language with the help of the parent guide.
Subscribe to The Story Box + Savings Code!
Ready to subscribe for your little one(s)? Simply visit The Story Box and choose which box best fits your child's age. Use promo code TAKESIX and save $6 off your first order! Then you just have to wait in anticipation for your box to arrive! This month's shipment is scheduled for September 21st.
And before I forget, a portion of each subscription fee is used to purchase books and other educational materials to benefit children with disabilities and children from low-income families. What a great way to not only help your child expand their mind, but help other children as well!

MINSK, December 15. /TASS/. Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) takes a biased stance of the farming produce and foodstuffs from Belarus, the Belarusian Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Igor Brylo, told national television on Wednesday.
"Rosselkhoznadzor is displaying a biased treatment of our produce this year," he said.
Stations for advance notification have been set up along the Belarusian-Russian administrative border and Rosselkhoznadzor subjects all the Belarusian products to total screening there, Brylo said, adding that Minsk did not have the confidence over the observance of all the required conditions in the process of delivery of test samples to labs.
He accused the Russian watchdog agency of 'crude violations' and 'an unprofessional approach'.
Brylog also mentioned the problem of faking the produce from Belarus. "Numerous types of meat and dairy products are made under Belarusian brand names in Russia and this is a reason for getting law enforcement agencies engaged in the situation," he said.
Of the 58 countries that consume Belarusian farming products and foodstuffs, only Russia has claims against its quality, Brylo said.
Rosselkhoznadzor has been making regular complaints over the quality of Belarusian produce. This spring, it suspended the imports of chicken and other types of meat from five large Belarusian enterprises.
In the summer, the watchdog service banned the imports of produce from a number of Belarusian dairy factories.

For years I have enjoyed taking tea wherever I go – from The Ritz to kooky cafes in Devon. I have baked and devoured many a cake and love researching and exploring 'the best' tea rooms and restaurants to visit, building a list of hidden gems and favourites along the way. The purpose of this tea time blog is to share that knowledge in a wider space, offering reviews of everywhere I go for that cheeky treat.
To me, taking tea, whether as part of brunch or in the afternoon, is an excuse to sit and catch up with friends, chilled and uninterrupted in the cutest or coolest of settings. What's not to like?
I'd welcome any comments, suggestions, recipes, or even if you fancy yourself a bit of a Mary Berry and want to share your latest top baking tips. Please do follow me @take.tea.with.me on Instagram and @taketeawithme on twitter, and feel free to contact me at email@example.com!

Newbies guide to nudism: Introduction to nudism
Each week until the series is completed a new article focusing on a different aspect of nudism will be published. Reading this series will allow you to learn what authentic nudism is all about, how to become a nudist if you haven't already, what to expect when interacting with other nudists, and just as importantly what they will expect from you. You will learn where to go to meet and socialize with other nudists, be exposed to the basic rules of etiquette observed in social nudity settings, and receive tips that will help you enter the nudist lifestyle with confidence.
The information presented in this series will be factual, not just based just on personal opinions or perspectives. Rest assured that this series is not my personal interpretation of nudism. Along with some information based on relevant personal experiences and observations there will also be plenty of information included that has been gleaned from other authoritative sources. While there is plenty of room in nudist culture for individual expression, authentic nudism requires adherence to some foundational philosophies and ethical considerations that have under-girded the culture since the movement began.

฿ 17,850.00Baht
The Baby
Taylor's scaled-up sibling, the Big Baby (15/16th-size), makes a sleek yet
full-sounding travel companion with its svelte four-inch body depth, which is
about a half-inch shallower than the depth of a standard Dreadnought. Slightly
bigger than a Baby Taylor and just shy of a full-size guitar, the Big Baby
Taylor is ideal for easy-playing, great-sounding guitar fun. The overall size
keeps you in the ""portable"" category, yet with an extra
dose of volume and fullness. Like the Baby, the Big Baby has an arched back
that provides strength and contributes to its big tonal output. All Big Baby
Taylor models ship with a durable travel-worthy gig bag made by Taylor for
optimal fit and protection.
Tone Woods
A guitar's top is the primary filter and distributor of vibrating string energy through the guitar, which means it has a huge impact on its sound. Sitka Spruce is the most prevalent guitar top wood of the modern era. It blends stiffness and elasticity in just the right proportions which translates into broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. Layered back and sides create a sturdy yet receptive platform for the vibrating string energy sent by the guitar's top. Layered wood is less susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity, making it an excellent choice for players who travel with their instruments or simply require more durability.
What sets Taylor Guitars apart? Unmatched build quality, the most stable and playable necks, a vast array of tonal options, eco-conscious and ethically-sourced raw materials, and a lifetime of service and support.

Americans drove 1.54 trillion miles in the first half of 2015, more than previous peak in 2007
Unlike some, I'm not a car abolitionist. I think the car is in some ways a wonderful invention that allows millions of people - especially outside of dense urban areas - to get to jobs, see friends and family, and do all kinds of things that they probably couldn't reliably do otherwise. But that doesn't mean that there aren't many serious problems with the use and overuse of the automobile. From global warming and air pollution caused by the burning of dirty fossil fuels (which is why we need to electrify transportation as we clean up the power grid), to all kinds of social and health issues (people being out of shape because they don't move enough, deaths and injuries from accidents, wasted time in traffic, etc).
While there are some encouraging signs that we might be living through peak car, other data shows that it might only be a slowdown. If we don't make big changes to our infrastructure and urban planning, even the millennials who currently care more about smartphones than cars will get older, get jobs, have kids, and may realize that it's hard to do what they want to do without driving...
The Washington Post also writes:
The United States is choking on its traffic, with the average driver losing 42 hours a year in the bumper-to-bumper grind and a drain on the economy costing $160 billion, according to a new report.
The report to be released Wednesday shows that traffic delays in most parts of the country have bounced back to pre-recession levels. That undermines the hope that three trends — telecommuting, the movement of people back to cities and a decline in millennials seeking driver's licenses — might provide an antidote to congestion.
And with the U.S. population projected to grow by 70 million in the next three decades, there is little chance that the transportation network can keep pace with that growth or alleviate the current crush. In other words, it's going to get worse.
This is definitely worrying, and if we don't want things to get worse we need to accelerate the pace of change. The good news is that more and more cities are starting to get it and build more bike lanes, close certain areas to cars or add traffic-calming measures, new bike shares are popping up and old ones are adding stations and bikes, there are some investments in mass-transit (and efforts at modernization, like smartphone apps with GPS tracking of buses and trains), etc.
But we need more, faster, and over a broader area. Suburbs and rural areas also need to be made less dependent on the individual car, and that's a huge challenge.
I think the most realistic scenario is not that everyone, everywhere, including rural Montana, will just bike everywhere in all seasons, but rather that denser urban areas will adopt best practices from cities that have already shown that it can be dome (Copenhagen, Amsterdam). There will be a lot of walkable neighborhoods, biking, and quality mass-transit. Elsewhere, there will still be a lot of cars, so they will have to be electric and powered by clean energy. Studies show that the life-cycle impact of cars comes 80%+ from the fuel that they burn, so if vehicles can be made much more efficient and run on clean energy, this is a dramatic improvement.

Let me tell you a little bit about iron…
Actually, let me tell you what the all-knowing WebMD has to say about iron:
Iron is an essential mineral. The major reason we need it is that it helps to transport oxygen throughout the body. Iron is an important component of hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to transport it throughout your body. Hemoglobin represents about two-thirds of the body's iron. If you don't have enough iron, your body can't make enough healthy oxygen-carrying red blood cells. A lack of red blood cells is called iron deficiency anemia.
Without healthy red blood cells, your body can't get enough oxygen. If you're not getting sufficient oxygen in the body, you're going to become fatigued. That exhaustion can affect everything from your brain function to your immune system's ability to fight off infections.
Low iron runs in my family. It's something I struggled with a lot as a teenager. I basically spent a chunk of life rotating between being on and off iron supplements after a bunch of fainting and feeling terrible. But it hasn't bothered me for years. Years.
About a month ago, I thought I had the flu. I was getting bad headaches and feeling really tired and generally blah. I stayed in bed for a weekend and it kind of went away. I still had headaches and light-headedness, but I ignored them because I'm a busy (see: stupid and stubborn sometimes) lady.
In the back of my mind I thought, "Hmmm. I never get headaches. I wonder if my iron levels have dropped."
Then, a few weeks ago, I was scheduled to donate blood for the first time in my life. I was crazy excited to do so, because Canada is experiencing a severe shortage right now, and for the first time since I turned 18, I've had a long enough gap between getting tattoos to be eligible.
I got to the clinic and filled out the appropriate paperwork. My name got called and I sat down in front of a nurse.
"Okay," she said, "We just need to do a quick finger prick test to make sure your iron levels are high enough to donate. You need to be at 125 or higher."
"Oh, shit," I thought, mentally willing my blood to come out dark and juicy.
Finger prick.
"Hmm," she wrinkled her nose, "You're only at 120."
"Oh, of course," I rolled my eyes at myself, "Ugh, I have a tendency for low iron."
"Well, sometimes the first test is low. Would you like to try again?"
"Sure, go for it."
I upped my mental powers as much as I could.
Finger prick.
This time she squeezed a lot of blood out of my finger before testing. Getting deeper? I dunno.
"It's better, but not good enough," she sighed, "122. You're going to have to up your iron before you can donate."
I felt like such a failure.
I know it's silly to feel like a failure about my own blood, but I totally did. I was so ready to help people who needed blood and my blood wasn't…rich(?) enough!
So I immediately upped my intake of iron-rich foods, which isn't difficult because I eat a lot of iron-rich foods anyway. Lentils and greens are staple foods in my world.
I was starting to feel a bit more normal until this week hit. This week that I started my six-days-a-week teaching schedule, with lots of practice and prep time necessary.
I guess I really depleted myself because yesterday, I had a full-on CRASH.
I woke up and could barely, barely drag my ass out of bed. I blamed not sleeping enough, and all the construction that is going on all around my house (living on a corner sucks when they're re-paving sidewalks and streets…). My head felt like it was going to explode, but I had a ton on my agenda for the day, so I ignored it.
The fact that taking my dogs to the vet was first on my agenda didn't help, because my dogs are so embarrassing at the vet. They bark and freak out. A lot. It takes them a long time to settle down and then if a new dog or person walks into the room, they start all over again. My patience was wearing thin and my headache was really starting to get to me.
I started to feel really sad.
I got my dogs home and got ready for the next thing on my agenda: lunch with a friend.
I had a spinach salad, which I guess was a good headstart on pumping some iron into my day, but of course it wasn't enough. I started to notice that I was having a really hard time concentrating and forming sentences. My head was pounding even though I was drinking lots of water and had eaten plenty. I was starting to feel like I was spiraling down a sadness well.
Uh oh.
"I have to go buy iron supplements like, now." I said to my friend as we parted ways.
And boy, was I right. By the time I got to the natural foods store, I was shaking. I felt like I could barely grip the steering wheel of my car. As I walked through the parking lot, I worried about collapsing or tripping over my own feet, which felt like they couldn't move. I fought back the very intense desire to burst into tears. Everything seemed hopeless and slow-motion.
I knew that taking a single iron supplement was not going to make me feel any better, so I took one, and then also pumped my body full of sugar. I managed to get home without crying – though I did freak out via text with a couple friends – I laid down, had a 20-minute nap, and then I had to teach a Zumba class.
SIDENOTE: Oh boy. That was hard. And a little scary. But I survived!
So, here's hoping that in a week or so, I'm back to normal Andrea. Because low-iron-Andrea is more than a bit of a weirdo. And not nearly as fun as usual.
Iron, man, it can really, really mess with you if you don't have enough of it. I thought I was done learning that the hard way, but I guess I needed one more reminder. Never again!

A Linux cluster primer, part one
Linux cluster expert Tom Quinn identifies applications that easily adapt to clusters, ones that need tweaking first, and the physical data center barriers to clustering.
In part one of this two-part conversation, Quinn identifies applications that easily adapt to clusters, the ones that need tweaking and the physical data center barriers to clustering. In part two, he offers cluster management tips and describes Linux cluster projects that delivered significant performance and scalability increases.
This story originally appeared on SearchEnterpriseLinux.com.
What are your tips for evaluating the feasibility of using a Linux cluster?
Tom Quinn: Figure out why you want a Linux cluster. Does your current system run slowly and you need faster results? Is your current system at end-of-life and no longer supported by the manufacturer? Does your current "big iron" box simply cost too much money to operate and you need a way out from under its exorbitant maintenance fees? A thorough self-examination is needed to ensure a cluster is a right fit for your organization.
In what business application situations is a Linux cluster not a good fit?
Quinn: A Linux cluster is not a cure-all for every company's computing woes. Some applications are not appropriate for this computing platform. If applications require an extraordinary amount of inter-process communication and shared memory, a cluster is probably not the best solution, as clusters are bound by the communication limits of the communication networks between nodes. In particular, if you need to run many small processes that work together tightly, referred to as 'tightly coupled,' you should carefully weigh the resultant performance of running on a cluster.
However, most applications, if well designed, are structured to minimize inter-process communications and try to use local memory as much as possible, which run very well on Linux clusters.
Can you describe business applications that fit well for high-performance clusters?
Quinn: Linux clusters are reaching far beyond the early adopters in universities and labs. In fact, many Fortune 1000 businesses are deploying Linux cluster systems for accelerating new pharmaceutical development, designing the latest automobiles and airplanes, discovering new sources of oil and gas and creating visual effects for the latest Hollywood blockbusters.
How much modification of applications is needed to put them on a cluster?
Quinn: In order to realize the exceptional cost/performance that clusters can deliver, HPC applications have to be structured to take advantage of the cluster's distributed memory architecture and the characteristics of the underlying interconnect.
Some applications are inherently parallel in the way they function. Others can be made to work in parallel very simply with minimal intrusion or algorithmic development. In almost all cases, if not already written using a distributed memory model, getting an application to run on a cluster will require some sort of modification and/or re-compiling.
The good news is that many commercial and free parallel cluster applications can be run 'out of the box' without modification. For custom or in-house designs, professional services provided by some cluster vendors, as well as application providers, are available to help modify source code to get the maximum efficiency out of the cluster for your application.
What's the mistake made most often during cluster evaluations?
Quinn: One of the most common mistakes made by first-time cluster buyers is to not take the physical demands of the cluster into account prior to procurement. The following factors need to be considered before bringing a cluster into your environment:
- Power -- Each cluster node can consume between 100 to 600 watts of power, sometimes more. If you take that and multiply it by the number of nodes you are planning on including in the cluster, plus additional power for switching, storage, UPS systems, you could end up with a system requiring tens of kilowatts on up. In most cases, standard infrastructure wiring needs to be augmented to meet the needs of the cluster.
- Cooling -- Consumption of power equates to generation of heat. This heat needs to be siphoned away or else the cluster will heat up, continue to generate more heat and eventually start to fail based on components exceeding their thermal limits. You should work carefully with your system provider to ensure your facilities provide adequate cooling capacity and air flow prior to making your decision to buy a system.
- Floor space/volume -- Clusters can be big. A cluster rack takes up almost five square feet and can be over six feet tall. Make sure you have room in your lab or data center.
- Weight -- A full rack of cluster nodes is heavy, up to 2,000 pounds. Many floors, particularly in older labs and buildings, were not designed to take that type of load. Check with your landlord or facilities engineer to make sure your floor can support the weight of a cluster.

This summer in my Public Policy Design course at OCADU, we used a human-centric design process to develop proposals to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, for better newcomer settlement programs.
My classmate Salman Abedin and I did qualitative research, including semi-structured interviews of newcomers, and listening to groups of clients of immigrant-service organizations. Our ethnographic research also included a temporary website called Show Us Your Fridge, to collect photos of the informal noticeboards that represent the home lives of immigrant families. We used published statistics as a quantitative complement to our empathetic insights.
We found that newcomers want stronger social networks with established Canadians, to learn our language and culture and find jobs. The "Breaking Bread" service would introduce people with common interests, so they can share a meal and informally help each other.
Our proposal was expressed in a video and the poster below. I did the photo-shoot (from buying bread to Photoshop editing) and the graphic design (in Adobe Illustrator).

7 Elements Of A Good Dissertation On Monitoring And Evaluation
If you want to create an excellent dissertation on monitoring and evaluation, there are seven: its need to remember first. We will try to give you some tips on how to achieve the seven elements without much difficulty in the process.
- Definition of Terms
- Do Not Forget Related Details
- Focus on the Value
- Significant Effects
- Include the Disadvantages
- Give a Backgrounder
- Provide Your Own Statement
- End Notes
The initial factor that you need to keep in mind is how you define the terms that you ought to use in your study. Do not use circular definitions when it comes to word meanings. This will defeat the purpose of educating the audience. Try to give them significant details as part of a definitive explanation for the terms.
For a dissertation, it is important that you are able to mention related details about the main topic. In this case, you should discuss related factors that bring about the need for evaluation and monitoring. Why is there a need for such strict surveillance in certain areas of endeavor?
In addition to this, you can also reiterate the value of evaluation. In its core, evaluates and can be done to find out more details about the different aspects of the professional field. For example, the company should have mandatory evaluations on the performance of their staff and personnel. This way, they will be able to collect data regarding the areas that need improvement in the company.
In your study, you can also discuss the effects of the evaluation and monitoring on company morale. Is it advantageous or should it be abolished? Either way, laying it out for discussion can definitely spark the interest of your audience.
Additionally, you can also talk about the disadvantages of having constant monitoring and evaluation procedures for the company. This way, your study will have a balanced take on the matter. Be as honest and impartial in your assessment as possible.
You can also talk about the origins of the evaluation and monitoring practices in the professional field. This will allow the audience to see where you are coming from in terms of your choice of subject matter. They will also get a glimpse of where it all began.
Lastly, you can discuss your own point of view when it comes to monitoring and evaluation in companies. However, try to be nonpartisan when it comes to expressing your opinion. This way, you will be able to provide much more comprehensive and motivational points in your study.
When writing your very own dissertation on monitoring and evaluation, it is important that you are able to make the people understand why such practices occur. By doing this, you would be able to give them a sense of responsibility as to why they should remain professional at all times.

Michael | Footage
By Don Simpson | May 15, 2012
Strand Releasing released writer-director Markus Schleinzer's Michael on DVD in the United States today. To celebrate, we figured that we would post a clip from Michael. And let's just say that after watching this clip, "Sunny" will have an entirely new meaning…
Writer/Director: Markus Schleinzer
Starring: Michael Fuith, David Rauchenberger, Christine Kain, Ursula Strauss, Victor Tremmel, Xaver Winkler, Thomas Pfalzmann
Not to be confused with the Nora Ephron film starring John Travolta, Austrian writer-director Markus Schleinzer's Michael is an everyday portrait of a pedophile. (Yes, you read that correctly.) A very average-looking thirtysomething, Michael (Michael Fuith) spends his mundane days working in an insurance office. Then, when he arrives home after work, Michael closes the shutters of his windows nice and tight and heads down to the basement to visit Wolfgang (David Rauchenberger), the 10-year-old boy whom he keeps locked up down there. Michael and Wolfgang have dinner, wash dishes, watch movies and play games; then Michael ushers Wolfgang back to the basement and locks him up again… Schleinzer makes Michael's disturbing sexual deviancy seem surprisingly normal. Except for one scene, Michael never becomes the stereotypical, creepy and deranged pedophile that Hollywood has consistently revealed to us. (Mind the pun.) Instead, Michael is all about keeping up the appearances of a banal, middle-class, suburban existence. He is a model employee at work, keeps his home impeccably tidy and clean, maintains regular contact with his sister and mother, goes on a ski trip with some buddies… (Check out our 8 out of 10 review of Micheal.)
