Our prediction for this MLS match:
BBVA Compasss Stadium will host Saturday's football match between Houston Dynamo and Toronto. Houston are on a four-game winless in the Major League Soccer and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways. Wilmer Cabrera's men have been struggling at the back of late and given the quality of the title holders, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. The Reds, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 loss to Colorado Rapids at the weekend, which was their third defeat of the season. The reigning champions are determined to get back on course and they should take advantage of the fact that Houston Dynamo made a slow start to the season. Toronto are likely to go all guns blazing at Wilmer Cabrera's team and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field.
Highlighted Player (Romell Quioto):
Romell Quioto is a pacey winger who plays for both Houston Dynamo and the Honduras national football team. Quioto was born in Balfate (Honduras) on August 9, 1991 and he played for Union Ajax during his youth career. The Honduras striker started his senior career at Vida and it has to be noted that he scored 20 goals in 77 appearances in the league for the club. In 2012 he was sent on loan to Polish club Wisla Krakow, but he played no more than nine games for The White Star in Ekstraklasa. Romell Quioto then took a step forward in his career as he signed a contract with famous Honduras club Olimpia. After scoring 38 goals in 96 league fixtures for the capital club the 180-cm-tall attacker decided to taste MLS football. Quioto moved to Houston Dynamo in December, 2016 and he has been playing for the Major League Soccer club ever since. Speaking of his international debut, Romell Quioto received his first call-up for Honduras on February 29, 2012 for a friendly game against Ecuador.
Highlighted Team (Toronto FC):
Toronto is a club based in Canada, but they have been competing in Major League Soccer since 2007. Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment own both the soccer club and National Hockey League's Toronto Maple Leafs. BMO Field is the club's home ground and the capacity of the stadium is 30.000.
The Canadian outfit impressed in the 2016 MLS Cup and they faced Seattle Sounders in the title game at BMO Field. However, the Canadians were more than unfortunate not to lift the silverware as they were beaten by the Sounders on penalties.
Speaking of the Canadian Championship, Toronto FC won their fifth domestic title in 2016, with the team beating Vancouver Whitecaps in the final of the tournament. Montreal Impact are considered the club's biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in meetings between the two Canadian sides. Toronto FC's home kit is red and it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Reds. It has to be noted that the club was founded back in 2005.

Alen Zukich, director at source code analysis specialist Klocwork explores how software testing can help save lives while reducing costs in the rapidly changing medical device industry.
When lives are at stake, software bugs are not just a nuisance, they can have serious, and even fatal, consequences. A glitch in a medical device can mean peacemakers don't keep hearts beating, diabetics can't check their insulin levels and a patient's heart isn't properly monitored. Not to mention the lost revenue and damaged brand reputation for the manufacturer.

Summertime, featuring the lush vocals of singer/songwriter Rachel Raquel.
This song is super chill, perfect for the summer (if the name wasn't obvious enough) with a sultry, jazz/bossanova feel to it. I am loving the guitar melody and infectious beat which just transport me to those chilled out summer evenings. I can't get enough of this song guys! I'm adding it to my Chill Spotify Playlist asap! Stream it below!
Speaking about the song the guys said,
'Summertime' is about moving to L.A. and getting lost in the skyline. It's easy to be swept away by the beauty of it all. The track is about the magic to it, but it's also about the pitfalls that easily happen, and about the parts of the city life that are often forgotten when a city is heavily romanticized.
Consisting of Trevor who grew up in Los Angeles gigging with metal bands, Linus who grew up in Manhattan playing the jazz guitar, and Kyle from Dallas - who were inspired to start DJing when he went to Sweden and fell in love with dance music - TELYKast is a mixture of both geographical and musical backgrounds.

Bay-side of Highway 101 on the San Francisco Peninsula sits a site uniquely positioned to help ease congestion, connect people to the Bay, and enable restoration.
Help us reimagine the future for Saltworks. Our partnership is launching an outreach process to explore potential future uses for this extraordinary site. With a proud history of stewardship in California, we are focused on meeting challenges and opportunities together.
Congestion increased 80 percent since 2010 and is getting worse. With ferry service coming to Redwood City, Saltworks could unlock connections between transit and direct access to job centers.
Saltworks offers Bay access to local residents and is necessary to connect a major gap in the Bay Trail. Establishing green transportation options is uniquely possible with Saltworks.
Uniquely positioned to ease congestion and emissions, preserving the Bay shoreline, and restoring wetlands in concert with expanded public access can be key outcomes of a reimagined Saltworks.
Larger than the Presidio or Marina District, Saltworks resides at a critical intersection of employment, economic growth, and restoration opportunities currently burdened by accessibility challenges.

Video 1: What To Do When You Don't Know What to Say
(PLUS The Wrong Question To Ask)
Grab Something to Take Notes
Watch The Video Above
Leave A Comment Below
14 responses to "
Video 1"
If I had my dream id finally feel lik people respect me. And I wouldnt feel so inferior talking to some of the people I deal with at work. Id be relaxed around them. Great vid btw!
Yes yes yes! This is just what I needed. Ca't wait for the next videos! I would love to konw I could just strike up fun conversations with people anywhere. Like my life would be an adventure then lol. Been following your stuff for a while now dean you give gr8 advice
dean this video ws awesome! Thanks you so much!!
Right this makes sense. but I guess my question is what if cant get myself to talk to some people in the first place?
Wow that part about working on too many tactics and stuff at once hit home for me. I try to put some of that stuff into play but I just get in front of someone and its like i have no idea what to do anymore. It all gets jumbled in my head. This video made a lot of sense especially the framework. Gonna try and focus on just that for a while haha.Thanks!
My ideal social life would involve me being comfortable in my own skin. If I could access that headspace where I feel at ease with my identity and can be free to follow my passions without worrying about what others think, then I know my life would be so much richer.
Wrong question for me – as a happy introvert I don't want the most amazing social life ever. "Ideal" for me would be that when I am in a social situation out of my comfort zone, I don't clam up/just listen in to others' conversations And – as others have said – it's about being confident enough to make/initiate a conversation in the first place – and then to keep it flowing. Some tips to try out on your video – thanks.
Dean thanks a lot very informative. I hope to find out how to speak to people who actually intimidate me. Either as a boss or someone who's just higher up.
My ideal social life would not being in my head so much and just to be confident around people I feel inferior by. I also got to just not be nervous in conversations and thinking about what to say. And hope to just strike up a conversation.
This technique would be helpful on my daily life. Thank u for this Mr. Dean J.

I've been working on an email generating program and I am able to generate an email that has either an attachment upon generation using
ProcessBuilder p=new ProcessBuilder("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Office16\\OUTLOOK.EXE","/a","C:\\BackupData.docx");
or a generated email with the recipient, subject, and body filled out using
URI msg = new URI("mailto", mailer+"&subject="+subject+"?body="+body, (String) null);
My issue is that I cannot figure out a way to generate an Outlook email that has both of these features. If there is some way to combine these to create an email with attachment, and populated subject & body, I would like to know how to do that.
You can open the system's email client using the desktop class.
Desktop.getDesktop().mail( new URI( "mailto:[email protected]" ) )
According to these docs the command you need is
"path/to/Outlook.exe /c ipm.note /a \"path/to/attachment\""
Assemble this and run it via ProcessBuilder

dissertation writing guides
Geography is a subject that can largely be broken down into two main subsections. One of these is physical geography, whilst the other is human geography. Essentially, human geography covers a wide range of different topics concerned with how humans and geography interact.
For example, human geography may look at various settlements or regions where humans live, and what causes these areas to develop. Alternatively, you can look at various differences between demographics and other information relating to humans in different areas. In fact, there are many different topics that are related to human geography in some way, thus providing you with an excellent source of ideas when it comes to writing dissertation titles.
One thing to remember when producing a dissertation title based on the topic of human geography is to examine and analyse how easy it will be to write about that particular topic or title. For example, you may come up with a really interesting idea; however, if that idea involves carrying out a great deal of research in a foreign country that is expensive to get to, then it may be that the idea is inappropriate for financial reasons.
Of course, not every single idea requires you to carry out on-site research. In fact, thanks to the Internet, it is possible to carry out a wide range of research techniques online. For example, the Internet has made it very easy to carry out interviews, surveys and questionnaires that are aimed at people in a particular area, without necessarily having to be in that area to do the research.
To give you some idea of topics that you could use based on range of different ideas and requiring various research techniques, the following is a list of titles related to human geography.

My nickname on the net is Xerraire, it is a Catalán word as I lived almost a year in Catalunya, Spain.
Sometimes, Xerraire gets in the news:
- Teknidermy
- Drac
- Photomeme Hall of Shame
- Clara Magazine (About homeschooling)
Now I boomerang between Maryland, USA and Perth, Western Australia. That makes me bi-continental. It's not easy. The good part is that the nature of my work can be done no matter where I am in the world. The bad part is I can't be two places at once. 🙁
I love music and my tastes are broad and ever growing. My list of MP3z.
I love a good walk in the park.
I like to help friends and family know what's on my mind or what I am doing by keeping a blog.

Video game loot boxes are psychologically akin to gambling: A rebuttal
Posted on August 02, 2018 @ 10:44 GMT in news
In June 2018, a commentary article entitled "Video game loot boxes are psychologically akin to gambling" by Aaron Drummond and James D. Sauer (2018) was published in Nature. The authors assess if loot boxes (i.e., purchasable randomized rewards in video games) are analogous to gambling and, if so, whether or not they should be regulated under the same legal terms.
In order to assess the similarity between loot boxes and gambling, the loot box elements of 22 select video games were evaluated against the unique criteria that distinguish gambling…Continue reading »

Games and Spirituality
Posted on October 16, 2017 @ 16:13 GMT in news
Back in August, I was interviewed by the Philadelphia Inquirer about the role that video games can play in spirituality. Specifically, how video games may help one connect with their spirituality and possibly induce feelings of transcendence.
This is a relatively new line of research, however, we do know that video games can give us what no other medium can - the unique ability to explore the roles of good and evil in a free (i.e., free from real-world repercussions) space. In no other medium are we able to enact the…Continue reading »
Beware of 'Digital Heroin' Clickbait
Posted on July 18, 2017 @ 15:46 GMT in news
This week a new article published by Psychology Today entitled "Parenting in the Era of Addictive Electronics" puts forward the assumption that "screen time, particularly the interactive kind acts like a stimulant, not unlike caffeine, amphetamines, or cocaine." This is not the first article to make such claims, in fact I blogged a New York Post article a few months ago touting the same connections.
While I can get on board with the advice offered to parents in the Psychology Today article (especially #12), it needs to be clear that it is scientifically inaccurate to discuss screen time as analogous to drug addiction. This is a comparison makes a nice headline but these connections are tenuous, blown out of proportion, and only argued by a…Continue reading »

Sexism, Misogyny, and Harrasment in Online Games
Posted on February 28, 2017 @ 13:33 GMT in publications
Concern about sexism, misogyny, and harrassment in online games is of an ever growing concern among parents around the globe. This is perhaps because online games continue to grow in popularity among female players (in fact, a 2015 Pew Research study found females are more likely to own gaming consoles than men).

Digital Heroin: A rebuttal
Posted on February 13, 2017 @ 10:03 GMT in OpEd
In August 2016, Dr. Nicholas Kardas published an article in the New York Post entitled "It's 'digital herion': How screens turn kids into psychotic junkies". In the opening paragraphs, he describes how playing Minecraft on an iPad quickly turned a 6-year old boy into an angry, obsessed, and addicted player.
Dr. Kardas goes on to explain that screen time has an inherently negative impact on children, as he states, "Many parents intuitively understand that ubiquitous glowing screens are having a negative effects on children". But, according to Dr. Kardas, it is "even worse than we…Continue reading »

Active Food Systems has unveiled the second generation of its Synergy Grill and promised operators it is even more robust and reliable than the original version (pictured).
The Synergy Mk2 follows extensive testing at the Cambridgeshire firm's laboratory, where it has worked hard to achieve the optimal combustion mix to vaporise oils back through the original foods to give them a unique flavour and deliver enhanced heat distribution.
Chairman Justin Cadbury told FEJ that the improvements it has made to the cooking system, famed for having no fat tray, represent a "significant step forward" in its patented grill technology.
"There are differences [with the original version] which are mainly centred on the robustness and reliability of the product. Many of these cannot be seen because they are internal changes to the electronics and bespoke variations on the ceramics. The key factor for the Synergy grill, however, remains that we bring to the market a unique bit of technology which allows restaurateurs to produce a better food product at a lower cost price," he explained.
Mr Cadbury said much of the company's latest development work has been focused on operational reliability and heat uniformity. "We can now also set up the Synergy grill set to operate at different temperatures so as to optimise the different menu profiles for individual restaurants," he said.
Mk2 has been put through its paces by a broad spectrum of clients ahead of its formal launch, allowing Synergy to track its performance in a live environment.
One high-profile restaurant customer was able to perfectly seal 400 fresh duck breasts in just a few minutes using a SG1300 Mk2 model without having to move the product around to get equal cooking time.
Existing users of its equipment include Carlton Tower Jumeirah, The Hurlingham Club, Galvin HOP and Brinkleys Restaurant Group.
"Chefs are very much individuals in their own right. They want a grill which will promote the best of their cooking skills and which is not compromised by flame burn or bits of ash floating up into their foods," he said. "The ghosts of the greasy burger will be a diminishing part in future markets. The market wants value for money, speed of service to the diner and quality taste to gain diner loyalty.
"So apart from the better food taste huge energy savings and cleanliness of the ventilation shafts, and no thermocouples to keep changing, Synergy Mk2 also has no thermal shock heat loss. This means that it effectively accelerates when diner demand rises. Volume speed-up, cleanliness and hygiene with excellent reliability would be key factors for restaurant chains."
The Synergy Mk2 is available immediately in three sizes: 630, 900 and 1300.

After I selected my color palette, I got right to work painting the background with the teal color. I grabbed Nathalie Kalbach's Arabesque stencil from StencilGirl Products and dabbed through with white, lime green and dark turquoise paints.
Luscious colors ~ loving the background at this point. I often use stencils to help me create a layered background even before I know what I will paint.
I then added in some butterflies with a stamp and archival ink.
After this point I got carried away in my process and didn't take pictures! But I basically decided on a vase of flowers to brighten up my day. I left the vase part with the background showing through because I really did love it so much.
Here is a close up.

WASHINGTON – World leaders yesterday launched frenetic talks on installing a multinational peacekeeping force – possibly led by NATO – in southern Lebanon, as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice rushed to the region for an emergency powwow with top-level officials from both sides.
U.N. Ambassador John Bolton indicated that the Bush administration was seriously considering the call for a multinational force to patrol a buffer zone in southern Lebanon along the Israeli border.
"We have been looking carefully at the possibility of a multinational force, perhaps authorized by the Security Council – but not a U.N.-helmeted force," Bolton said.
Bolton said NATO forces could join the contingent.
"We'll certainly take it seriously," he said of the idea of using the security alliance, of which the U.S. is a member.
White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten said it wasn't "anticipated" that U.S. ground forces would join an international force that could patrol the region.
Ambassador Bolton explained that the force had to fit within a "larger, long-term political solution" – and he notably didn't push Israel to accept a cease-fire, something several world leaders have demanded.
Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz said his country would be willing to see an international force move in on an interim basis – and wants NATO to take the lead.
"Israel's goal is to see the Lebanese army deployed along the border with Israel, but we understand that we are talking about a weak army and that in the midterm period, Israel will have to accept a multinational force," Peretz told his government's Cabinet, suggesting NATO be in charge.
President Bush, returning from his Texas ranch, yesterday met with Rice, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal, and other Saudi officials in the Oval Office just before his secretary of state jetted off to her Mideast task.
"We are requesting a cease-fire to allow for a cessation of hostilities," Faisal said after the meeting. He gave Bush a letter from Saudi King Abdullah asking for the cease-fire.
Faisal said Bush was "very conscious of the destruction and the bloodshed" in Lebanon.
He said Bush's commitment is "to see the cessation of hostilities. I have heard that from him personally, and that is why he is sending Ms. Rice to work out the details."
Rice plans to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas but won't talk to Arab leaders until an international meeting in Rome.
Bolton urged Iran and Syria to "stay out of the internal affairs" of Lebanon and slammed the terror group Hezbollah for claiming to be a political party while lobbing missiles at Israel.
"Hezbollah has aspirations to be a political party in Lebanon, but political parties normally don't have anti-ship cruise missiles," Bolton said on "Fox News Sunday."
But Bush hasn't wavered in believing Israel "has a right to defend itself," White House Chief of Staff Bolten said on NBC's "Meet the Press." He said "there shouldn't be any surprise" that the U.S. is speeding up delivery of bombs and munitions to aid Israel's military because Israel is a longtime ally. When the Middle East conflict broke out earlier this month, Bush told Arab leaders that the real culprit "is the militant wing of Hamas and Hezbollah," according to a Newsweek reporter who was trailing the president.
Bush then told the magazine, "I view this as the forces of instability probing weakness. I think they're testing resolve in many ways."

Stripe phases

Last reviewed:2002
- Stripes in quantum Hall systems
- Stripes in doped antiferromagnets
- Links to Primary Literature
Stripe phases are a recently discovered type of electronic crystal (similar to Wigner crystals). The difference between electronic and conventional crystals is that the lattice of an electronic crystal is made of electrons which, being much lighter than atomic nuclei, are subject to much stronger quantum and thermal fluctuations. Therefore electronic crystals are likely to melt at much lower temperatures than conventional ones.

Tommy Reed Teams Up With 7decibels to Create the iPad Mini Sabine
Sometimes the sounds coming out of the iPad are just not loud enough. There are a couple of different solutions to this problem including sophisticated and bulky tablet speaker docks, and much more simple sound amplifiers. The latest one – Sabine – comes as a result of collaboration between 7decibels and Tommy Reed. The project is still seeking funding at Kickstarter, and Tablet2Cases has done its part by pledging.
The new case is designed to fit the iPad Mini and provide a rich, crisp amplified sound for everything an iPad does. The Tommy Reed x 7decibels Sabine attaches to the tablet via a revolutionary adhesive, which can be removed and reattached over and over. The case is crafted from the same high-quality aluminum the tablet itself is made.
Sabine undergoes anodization, the same process Apple is applying to its products in order to ensure the aluminum stays as new for longer periods of time. The iPad Mini case not only redirects the sounds from the side-facing speaker directly at the user, but also offers stunning looks, which are a continuation of the Apple design itself.

Hi! I'm Kate, nice to see you have taken the time to stop by my profile to see what I get up to and what I do here at Flying Futures. I have worked on the NCS programme for a total of four years in various different roles from sessional worker, support officer and now a full time Recruitment officer across the 2 contracts we have here, one being, North Yorkshire and the other East Riding.
I have also gained a degree in Sports coaching and Performance at the University of Hull. The time I spent at University has allowed me to develop myself and gain experience within the required field of work which I have passion for, which is helping and developing young people.
I have a huge passion in making a difference to young people, hence the reason I love working on the NCS program here at Flying Futures. I believe the company and the program provide a stepping stone for young people to have the confidence to achieve anything they want to if they put their mind to it.
My interests outside of work are trying to push myself to do the most extreme activities as possible to challenge myself, which now include completing a 15'000-foot Sky dive for charity, and completing the Tough Mudder obstacle course. I also have an interest in going travelling around the world at some point in my life!

A Brooklyn man broke into a house on Valley Street in East Hampton Sunday evening, but did not get far with the items he stole, according to East Hampton Town police.
Detective Sgt. Dan Toia said his department received a report of a possible prowler inside the house at around 5 p.m. It was not clear if the homeowner was present, but a neighbor had seen someone inside, the detective said.
Police found someone had entered a first-floor bedroom and broken the doorframe. They canvassed the neighborhood and found Lin Sen, 22, of Brooklyn, who met the description of the suspect, under a deck at a Todd Drive residence.
Mr. Sen had a red bag with a pearl necklace, multicolored bracelet, an Ebel wristwatch, and a Prada wallet with an envelope containing United States and Chinese currency, police said, adding that the proceeds from the burglary totaled $2,265.
Mr. Sen was brought to headquarters in Wainscott, where he was read his Miranda rights, waived them, and provided a sworn statement about the burglary, according to the detective. Detective Toia said Mr. Sen was an employee of the Valley Street homeowner.
He was charged with burglary in the second-degree, a felony, and criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, also a felony. He was held overnight and arraigned on Monday. Justice Lisa R. Rana released him on $2,000 bail.
In other arrests last week, a 57-year-old mother was charged with felony assault after police said she struck her teenaged daughter with a handheld metal mirror, which they consider "a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument."
According to police, Luz Elena Pena was at her apartment on Boatheader's Lane when she hit the 16-year-old across the forehead with the mirror on May 16 at around 5 p.m. Police said the girl had a raised welt, a laceration that was bleeding, and was in significant pain.
Ms. Pena was charged with assault in the second degree, a felony, and acting in a manner injurious to a child less than 17, a misdemeanor. Child Protective Services was notified.
Justice Steven Tekulsky released Ms. Pena on $2,500 cash bail.
Two East Hampton 19-year-olds were arrested on trespassing charges last week after they hung out in a room at the East Hampton House Resort and drank alcohol, according to police.
Kevin J. Llivisaca-Pulgarin and Geovanny E. Llivisaca-Remache reportedly stayed in room 118 in the motel, at 226 Pantigo Road, without permission last Thursday around 7:15 p.m. Picked up on Friday at East Hampton High School, each was charged with criminal trespass in the second degree, a misdemeanor, at about 2 p.m. They were released on appearance tickets.
Karl T. Wittig, 36, of Amagansett was charged with seventh-degree possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor, after police found cartridges filled with concentrated cannabis after stopping his car.
Mr. Wittig was a passenger in a 2007 Honda that was pulled over on Hand's Creek Road, near Oak View Highway, in East Hampton at about 11 p.m. on Saturday. Police found three cartridges containing a brown oil that later tested positive for marijuana.
Mr. Wittig was released on an appearance ticket after posting $100 bail.
Erin P. Simmons, 28, of Southampton was also charged with misdemeanor drug possession after police found her with two cartridges that contained concentrated cannabis. She was also arrested during a traffic stop, this one on Montauk Highway in Wainscott on Saturday at about 2:15 a.m.
Police said one cartridge was found in her pocket, while the other was in a Ziploc bag labeled "Pineapple Express" that was found in the passenger area of a 2004 Chevy in which she was a passenger. She was released on an appearance ticket after posting $100 bail.
Guido H. Perezzuniga, 41, of Montauk was caught with a forged inspection sticker during a traffic stop on Friday night, police said. A New York State certificate of inspection was affixed to the windshield of the 2000 Acura he was driving, though it was meant for a 1993 Mitsubishi with a dealer plate and expires in July. He was charged with displaying a forged certificate without inspection, a misdemeanor, released on $100 bail, and given an appearance ticket.

How Do Your Students Share Their Answers with the Teacher?
The sharing of their answer can be done with technology like electronic "clickers", cell phones, an iPad app, or website, but it does not need to be done with technology. It could be done with students using a small dry erase board, each student having a set of index cards with each card having either an "A", "B", "C", or "D" on it or even students putting one figure up for "A", two figures up for "B" and so on. The important element is that students "lock in" an answer before sharing begins.
Peer Instruction in Action
What Are the Student Discussions Like During thePeer Instruction Process.
The video to the right shows students discussing a question during the Peer Instruction part of class. There are multiple discussions going on at the same time (a typical classroom), but if one focuses on listening to a single discussion, it may be easier to follow. The whole video is helpful, but segment 1:40 to 2:10 is great evidence of why Peer Instruction works so well.
Why Do We Want Students to Share Their Answer With the Teacher?
Student share so the teacher can see the growth in student understanding of the material. But if less than 30%

Albers-Schonberg Disease
Albers-Schonberg Disease Definition
The Albers-Schonberg disease is one of the most common types of osteopetrosis. It has been found that it is caused by the mutation in the CICN7 chloride channel gene. Those who have Albers-Schonberg disease, have bone cells, osteoclats, not functioning normally. These osteoclats are responsible for the breaking down of old bone tissues so that new ones will grow. In case of the disease, the osteoclats do not break the old bone tissues which then results in overgrow of the bones in the body. These overgrown then become very brittle and break easily. In the United States, it is estimated that around 1,250 persons have osteopetrosis. There are different forms of osteopetrosis and the most severe type is very rare that in the United States, there are only about 8 to 40 cases reported each year. The malignant infantile osteopetrosis is a severe form of the disease. It affects the child even when she is still in the womb. When the baby is delivered, the bones of the shoulder usually break. The baby with malignant infantile osteopetrosis has low calcium, has pressure on the optic nerve in the brain and experiences frequent bone fractures. About 75% of those affected with this disease will develop anemia and thrombocytopenia. If not treated, the child is not expected to live beyond the age of 10. Children have the disease when the parents have the abnormal genes even though they may not have the symptoms. The transient infantile osteopetrosis is the same as the infantile osteopetrosis except that in this case the patient heals on her own without treatment. The adult benign osteopetrosis is what is originally called the Albers-Schonberg disease. The disease is named after the man who first recorded or described the disease. The disease is generally mild and is more common among those in between the age of 20 and 40. One of the most common manifestations of the disease is frequent bone fractures and difficulty healing them. In some cases bone infections, degenerative arthritis, headache and pain may also be experience by those with the disease. The disease may be inherited from the parent with the defective gene and children of parents with the Albers-Schonberg disease have about 50% chance of having the same defective gene. The intermediate osteopetrosis is more common among children below the age of 10. The symptoms is almost the same as the malignant infantile osteopetrosis although less severe. It is believed that it is inherited the same way as the malignant infantile osteopetrosis.

New Barter Theatre prices offer increased accessibility
Ushering in the patron experience
August 31, 2016In late April of this year, Barter Theatre announced a new $20 ticket price in an effort to continue its legacy of offering accessibility to world-class theater.
Barter Theatre offers a selection of $20 seats to each performance at both Barter Theatre and Barter Stage II.
These tickets are limited and are available for select seats at each performance of every show. To find out if these tickets are available, visit www.bartertheatre.com, choose the show and date and click on "Buy Tickets." This takes you a diagram of the theater. The ticket options are color coded by price, so you can easily see the seating and ticket price options.
Barter Theatre's regularly priced tickets are based on availability, seat location and advance purchase. Adding a $20 ticket option to the offerings is a move that would likely make founder Robert Porterfield proud. Due to the recent economic decline's impact on entertainment budgets, Barter Theatre hopes to keep the arts accessible.
While Barter Theatre might not return to the days of "Ham for Hamlet," trading livestock and produce in exchange for tickets, the new $20 tickets are a hit with audiences.
New The Patron Experience
As anyone who has ever attended a Barter Theatre show knows, volunteer ushers are a huge part of the experience at both Barter Theatre and Barter Stage II. Have you ever wondered what ushers do or how to become one?
Volunteer ushers assist Barter Theatre patrons to their seats, scan tickets, answer questions, sell concessions and ensure the safety and comfort of guests. Since Barter Theatre and Barter Stage II host a plethora of shows, ample volunteer opportunities exist. Volunteer shifts take place during morning, afternoon, evening and sometimes even late-night hours. Most volunteer shifts last three to four hours, but some are as short as two hours.
Ushers work hard to make sure that patrons enjoy the best experience possible when they visit Barter Theatre. Becoming an usher includes lots of benefits to reward volunteers for their service. Perks include seeing the shows, an annual appreciation event, a complimentary ticket for every 25 volunteer hours, a treat from the concession stand after each performance and 20 percent off in the gift shop.
Barter Theatre also recognizes ushers who have worked the most hours throughout the year. Each Christmas, 35 ushers with the highest number of cumulative hours, receive an invitation to the annual Barter Christmas Auction attended by Barter staff, crew and actors.
Ushers have unique opportunities to see the behind-the-scenes workings of Barter and interact on a personal level with key staff and, often times, actors and actresses. Many of Barter's ushers return year after year. Some ushers have been volunteering at Barter Theatre for more than 20 years.
Kenny Davis, Barter Theatre's volunteer usher coordinator, said, "It's rewarding to see that you've been part of making a patron's time at Barter such a great experience. You are often the first and last face that a patron sees and can really shape their impression of the theatre."
What does it take to be an usher at Barter Theatre? A positive attitude, an upbeat personality and a bright smile are all it takes. Barter Theatre provides training for their ushers to get them up to speed on the theater's policies and history.
Barter Theatre is always looking for more ushers. If you are interested in becoming an usher, email Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 276-619-5407.

Character Assassination is the next big thing in the BigBoss House.
So here we are, at the big boss season 5...5...5. Now it has become a daily routine now to see the contestants fighting, shouting, clamouring with each other even on the most of trivial issues. If someone by mistake (read Siddharth) comes in the way of someone sleepy (read Pooja Mishra), there is not just fight but even the most abusive use of language.
Is someone by mistake takes away the waist band (read Pooja Mishra) of some other contestant (read Veeda) the fight moves on for more than two days with the worst abusive language use. Common on, how much of anger, shouts are good enough in a day? how much are the audiences are ready to digest? Well perhaps a lot more than what is being shown, and perhaps that is the reason why almost anyone who appears to remain quite is evicted out of the house. Be it Gulabo Sapera, Raageshwari or even Shakti Kapoor who preferred to remain mute for the full one week. On the other hand, Pooja Mishra inspite of being the most regular on the nomination list is still safe. She knows if she has to stay on, she has to fight and fight whether there is a reason or no reason.
And now as the show proceeds we have even character assassinations started by Akash (Sky) on Mahek Chahal- she is targeted for being cheap, filthy etc etc. So should we say it is a good game gone sour? Is the level of big boss going down with each passing day? Or do you still love being a regular watcher because you love the fights? Ahmm....hard to answer for us

What happens when America's largest Yellow Pages company jumps into online local video advertising without an actual product? Here's my story of one very frustrated marketer who went through 10 very strange days until realizing that many things in the IYP space are not what they seem on the promotional surface.
Back on Nov 28, YellowPages.com, a subsidiary of AT&T, announced a a�?nationwide rollouta�? of video advertisements in their online local listings space. YellowPages.com was now offering 30-second video ad models for businesses: A basic a�?video profile," and a a�?premium" video profile package, which includes on-location shooting and some additional production time.
Some clips of their press release reads as follows:
a�?New Video Feature Offers Advertisers a New and Exciting Way to Reach Consumers Searching for Local Businessesa�� YELLOWPAGES.COM, a subsidiary of AT&T Inc. announced today the addition of two new video products to the suite of tools that it provides advertisers to help them reach local shoppers onlinea�� YELLOWPAGES.COM has introduced video advertisements in pilot markets and has now begun a nationwide rollouta�� Helps advertisers get up and running quickly."
While SuperPages was the first IYP to offer video advertisements (and that on a national scale), I took special interest in YellowPages.coma��s announcement of its own launch, partly because they have the largest exposure of any IYP (34 million monthly unique visitors according to Comscore Media Metrix September 2007 stats), and also because several of my clients already have accounts with Yellow Pages, including paid online search listings. One of them is a videography firm, and who better to benefit from this opportunity?
Or so I initially thought.
Even before contacting anyone in sales, I found some questionable items on the YellowPages.com's website regarding the Video Profile program.
- Poor navigation. You cana��t tell from YPa��s home page of any real indication about the Video Profile program (Rather strange considering they just issued a press release.) First, you have to know to click on the a�?Visit our online storea�? link at the bottom of YPa��s home page. Effectively generic deltasone accelerate the resolution of acute exacerbations of MS. That link takes you to a rather unimpressive layout where the a�?Video Profilea�? offer is given the minimal display and information. From there, you need to click on the a�?Product Infoa�? button. When finally takes you to the a�?Video Profilea�? page.
- Poor usability. No actual examples are found on the Video Profile page. Really, how are you going to be able to sell people on this if you cana��t make demos easily available? (I had to hunt down the original press release with the name and location of the example company, and manually type that in to the search box to find it myself.
- No pricing information. The only information I could find was that having a video display requires a PPC account. (Meaning, you cana��t purchase the feature as a stand-alone item.)
After filling out the online form and leaving a phone message, I receive a call back from DexKnows.com/RHDonnely, the sales wing of YellowPages.com for my home state of Illinois. I have viagra and cialis non perscription. to repeatedly explain my inquiry about the video profile to 4 different sales reps, all of whom have never heard about the Video Profile until I brought it to their attention. It takes several days for me to hear back from someone higher up on the chain a�� an a�?Internet Specialist.a�? Turns out he didna��t know about the video profile program, either.
After 9 days, I finally get some information, although not entirely helpful. I speak with a 5th person in the Internet sales chain for DexKnows, who was just informed by YellowPages.com (again after several days of waiting) that they doesna��t offer any video advertising for Illinois. (He also shares his own frustration that YellowPages promotes a program that they give them absolutely no information about, and theya��re buy Viagra Caps, buy zithromax online. supposed to be their sales team!)
Frustrated but still wanting answers, I call YellowPages.com's customer service line. The rep tells me she can't give out any information on what areas their "trial program" (so apparently its no longer a national program as advertised) for Video Profiles are taking place. Instead, she says can only give me the phone number for any particular state and put me in touch with that statea��s sales team, and I would have to find out from them if Lasix online they know anything about the program.
No thanks, I don't feel like going through the ordeal 49 more times.
Bizarre, isna��t it? YellowPages buy neurotin boasts about having the largest visitor exposure and is a subsidiary of the largest telecommunications company in the U.S., yet they cana��t even put together a proper program for online video advertising for local businesses. Not only is there no real a�?nationwide rollouta�? like their press release back claimed there was, but apparently they're being too secretive to even mention what a�?pilot marketsa�? theya��re actually doing video advertisements for.
On thing the I've learned Female Viagra buy from my many years in the online marketing and search industry a�� the actual execution of a marketing program is eventually going to trump any hype. YellowPages.coma��s bungling of their Video Profile promotion highlights the ongoing troubles in the IYP space between online video advertising and their sales channels. buy ceftin online When the largest IYP chooses to withhold important correspondence about promotional programs like this from their own sales reps, much less train them adequately in taking sales calls, all of the buzz that YellowPages.com has generate will eventually sting them.

Infinite ScoopsAlexandra Erin on April 12, 2011 in Fiction
"Do you think somewhere there's an alternate universe that's just like ours except they have frozen cream and ice yogurt instead of ice cream and frozen yogurt?" she asked while we waited our turn in line.
"Probably not," I said.
"But if there's an infinite number of worlds, there must be at least one where that happened," she said.
"Not really," I said. "Infinite worlds doesn't mean that anything you imagine has happened somewhere. There could be an infinite number of identical worlds, for instance."
"Okay, but if we assume the infinite number of worlds hinge on every possible outcome then wouldn't there have to be be some where people decided to call it frozen cream and ice yogurt?"
"'Ice cream' was actually made with ice, originally," I explained. "Frozen yogurt came about after refrigerating technology made it possible for something to be frozen without the application of ice. The names weren't just a random outcome… they wouldn't make sense the other way around. So, even if there are universes where people eat ice yogurt and frozen cream, it wouldn't be 'just like ours' in every other way. Other things would have to be different, too."
"Well, that makes sense," she said. "I guess I was being silly."
"You're admitting you were silly?" I asked, surprised.
"Of course," she said. "Imagine… suggesting there might be a universe somewhere whose inhabitants occasionally give things names that don't make strict etymological sense."
"You're mocking me now, aren't you?"

One of the best ways to enjoy yourself outdoors and appreciate all of the nature offers is as simple as going camping. However, it is really not enough just to head out to the woods not understanding what you will be doing. By remembering the subsequent advice, the next camping trip could be anyone to remember. http://buckeye4locals.com
Although it is not an essential part of your respective back country camping gear, a machete is something you may consider packing dependant upon what your location is going. This is a very versatile tool inside the wilderness. You are able to cut a trail, hack bamboo and vines for shelter, cut coconuts for water, chop firewood, and also use it as protection against wild animals.
Are you aware that a basic mirror can help to save your daily life? Should you be camping and wind up in a survival situation, a straightforward handheld mirror enables you to signal for help many miles away. Will not buy the standard glass mirror, many camping supply stores sell mirrors manufactured from Lexan which will float and they are practically unbreakable.
Camping is surely a fun time, but there may also be uninvited guests on your campsite. That are these guests? Bugs! This is their environment and they also like camping, too. Be sure you have bugged repellent along with you to share with these people to stay in their own campsite or perhaps to go visit other campers who weren't as prepared as you may were.
If you're a novice to camping, you're planning to would like to arrive early on the campground. The real reason for this is certainly you will be a new comer to the campground site and rules, and this will slow you down. You don't wish to be stuck creating camp at night, so just arrive a bit earlier than you normally would.
As a courtesy to other campers, don't leave your lighting on overnight, should you be near others. Pack a timer that you could attach to your lights which will automatically shut them off after a certain time. Leaving lights on overnight can be a popular complaint among most American campers!
Bring enough food and snack things to last through the entire whole trip. You don't would like to spend time going to get food each meal, enjoy yourself while you are camping. Bring cereal, sausages, and all of your other favorite meals that may fuel you throughout your vacation.
Be sure you notice the campground regulations. The most significant concerns is trash and also noisiness within a campsite. People often believe that people can't hear them, but noise travels far in the campsite. It is very tough to possess privacy, particularly if people are meant to be observing quiet hours.
While camping seems symbolic of a campfire, that campfire doesn't necessarily have to be made out of wood. In reality, it could be safer and much easier to use a portable campfire unit powered by propane. For the most part, these units are permitted unless there exists a fire ban into position. Marshmallows taste every bit as good from these units since they do over a wide open, wood-burning fire, too.
While it is not a good idea to get wasteful, make sure to bring more food and water than you believe you require. You do not have to get out intro the middle of the woods and use up all your supplies. bringing more than enough will make sure you do not run across this matter.
Be sure you look at the first-aid kit before you leave for your trip. You have to be sure it has all the basic necessities. Be sure it offers such things as bandages, tweezers, disinfectant, ointment, etc. Who knows when something may injure you or other person on your own trip, so it's best to be prepared.
Before going out to look camping, compile a checklist of things that you intend to bring. It's especially important to produce a checklist if you will end up traveling a distance on the campgrounds. Pack several days before your camping trip should certainly happen and view off your list whilst you experience things.
Be sure you choose a sleeping bag that may be appropriate for where you may be camping. Sleeping bags made of lightweight material are optimal for warmer climates. By contrast, you should invest in a heavy sleeping bag if you plan to camp in the cold area. Ensure your sleeping bag suits you well, hugs your body and enables you to retain heat.
Pack carefully and efficiently. Create a supply checklist for your personal trip and look off each item as it's being packed. If you are going deep into the bush or backcountry where emergency supplies and services are inaccessible, then you will need to make sure you have medical material and related equipment.
Collect dryer lint for your upcoming camping trip. Why? Since it is a terrific way to start up a fire. Lint makes flames that burn hotter and brighter than wood. Just a bit of lint as well as a tiny spark could be all you have to begin.
An incredible tip for anyone organising a camping trip is always to take along flashlights which are LED and run using lithium batteries. Most of these flashlights last for a longer time than traditional flashlight and the last thing you would like when outside in the wilderness is really a broken flashlight.
Wear closed-toe shoes when camping. While walking with open-toe shoes or barefoot by nature may sound appealing, there are plenty of treacherous things on the ground that will harm the feet including rocks, sticks, poisonous plants and also animals. Protect the feet completely by always wearing shoes that protect you completely.

Oil and gas explorer Cairn Energy is to press ahead with more appraisal work in Senegal this year after hailing positive results from a recent test well.
The Edinburgh-based firm, which has been locked in a $1.6 billion (£1.1bn) dispute with India's tax authorities for two years, also told investors that it has a "high level of confidence" in its case, which relates to former subsidiary Cairn India.
READ MORE: Oil flow bodes well for Cairn's African interests
Cairn is due to release its annual results on 15 March, and in today's trading update said it ended 2015 with a net cash balance of $603 million.
"Further appraisal activity this year will test the overall scale and extent of the resource base in Senegal, and is expected to lead to revision of the resource estimates," said chief executive Simon Thomson.
"The company remains fully funded from existing financial resources to deliver its exploration and appraisal programme, as well as to take its North Sea developments through to free cashflow generation in 2017."
Proceedings against the Indian government under a UK-India investment treaty have now begun in a bid to resolve the tax dispute over the group's remaining 10 per cent stake in Cairn India, which it cannot sell while the case is ongoing. Its shareholding in the business was valued at $1bn at the end of 2013, but has since slumped in value to $384m.
