National swimming stars welcomed the building of a new Olympic swimming pool at a school in Tavistock
Sergio Busquets Spain Jersey
, Devon in a development expected to transform the sport in the west of England
The school has been given the go-ahead to build an eight-lane, 50m pool to train Olympic swimmers and encourage the next generation of young hopefuls.
Made possible in part thanks to £706,000 of Sport England National Lottery funding
Santi Cazorla Spain Jersey
, the pool will be used to train Mount Kelly pupils, local and regional state schools and swimming clubs from across the country.
Mark Semmence, headteacher at Mount Kelly
Pedro Rodriguez Spain Jersey
, says: This significant investment in the future of the school and for sport regionally would not have been possible without the support of Sport England.
"I am particularly delighted that the new pool will enable Mount Kelly to work more closely with the local and regional community, as 60% of the usage of the pool is designated for local state schools and swimming clubs.
With an estimated 1 in 3 children in England unable to swim on leaving primary school, the pool is a vital part of bucking this trend. Scores of primary children from across the region will use the top-class facility.
Olympic and Commonwealth medal winner and ex-Mount Kelly pupil Sharron Davies MBE
Paco Alcacer Spain Jersey
, said: "I am thrilled. This is a big step forward for British swimming. It will give a huge boost to the chances of more young people reaching international level as well as giving those who simply love the sport to come and enjoy themselves while getting fit."
British athlete Dina Asher-Smith is a major medal contender at the World Athletics Championships this week. Here we look at how her podium dreams were helped along by a pioneering talent programme
Positive headlines have been few and far between in the world of athletics this summer but one of Britains brightest young stars and graduates of the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) will be hoping to correct that at the IAAF World Athletics Championships this week.
Nineteen year-old Dina Asher-Smith lines up in the heats of the 200m in Beijing on Wednesday afternoon with every chance of progressing to the semi-finals and going on to enter the record books as Britains first female sprint medallist since Kathy Cook 32 years ago.
Podium dreams
Ensuring those with last 11 years has helped a number of athletes successfully balance the demands of employment and academic life with those of being a medal-winning hopeful.
After scooping her first international title at the Commonwealth Junior Games four years ago, Dina pictured above competing for her club Blackheath and Bromley AC in 2010 (credit: Mark Shearman) was singled out as a star of the future and nominated for TASS by UK Athletics Development Manager, Jo Jennings.
I didnt know much about the programme at the time or the support TASS provides
Oscar de Marcos Spain Jersey
, says Dina. But it was Jo that nominated me and to be selected was such a pleasant surprise and something Im really grateful for.
Its hard to put into words the impact of the support and how grateful I am.

Further proof of the positive impact of the TASS scheme has been in the medal-winning exploits of its athletes and alumni.
Nearly a quarter of the 200 TASS athletes and alumni that competed at London 2012 came away with silverware, including 15 gold, while 63 current and former TASS athletes celebrated medal success at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Going Beyond 'Lamarckism' in Protein Tertiary Structure Prediction
Several novel techniques are employed for protein tertiary structure prediction, but the more successful ones are those that rely either solely or partly on template/homology based modeling of full or sub-structures. However, a critical look at the yearly growth of SCOP defined unique folds (Murzin et al., 1994) in the protein data bank shows a saturation at ~ 1400 beyond 2008 (Berman et al., 2000). This saturation may show completeness of protein fold space – an unlikely possibility. Alternatively, it either implies the need for development of higly sensitive newer experimental methods to unveil the unexplored regions of protein fold space, or, beckons the development of more accurate, time efficient, non-template based computational strategies for unravelling the uniqueness and diversity of protein structures. The latter is strongly supported by the following observations: (a) the avergae Cα RMSD (root mean square distance) from the native from the best server in each CASP (the biennial experiments for critical assessment of structure prediction) (Kryshtafovych, Fidelis & Moult, 2011) has been hovering around 7 Å since CASP7 and, (b) based on CASP10 results, the best servers can predict the tertiary structure of a soluble protein to within 5 Å RMSD from the native in 52% of the cases. It is quite apparent that efforts in tertiary structure prediction have saturated to a level where there is an immediate need for methodological innovations – beyond templates of folds to avoid falling into a trap of Lamarckism in protein folding. Here we discuss our recent efforts, based on some newer sequence alignment protocols (Jayaram, 2008), quantum mechanical corrections to the molecular mechanics generated structures and structure/fold invariant metrics (Mittal et al., 2010; Mittal & Jayaram, 2011; Jayaram et al., 2013) as incoporated in the continually evolving freely accessible Bhageerath-H webserver for protein tertiary structure prediction (http://www.scfbio-iitd.res.in/bhageerath/bhageerath_h.jsp) (Jayaram et al., 2012). We show that it is possible to push the accuracies in protein structure prediction beyond 60% even for tough targets.

Andrews says players are playing for 'personal pride' ahead of big Woodbridge clash
Rick Andrews admits his Stowmarket Town players are playing for 'personal pride' as far as the rest of their Thurlow Nunn League Premier Division campaign is concerned, writes Alex Moss.
With 10 games of their league season left to go, the Old Gold and Blacks sit in fourth place in the table, 13 points adrift of leaders Histon, who also have two games in hand.
Stow could still match their third-place finish from 2017-18, or even better it by finishing second, which would equal the club's highest-ever finish set back in 1991-92.
Andrews' men have a chance to claw back some of the six-point gap on second-placed Woodbridge Town, who are ahead of Godmanchester Rovers, in third, on goal difference, when the two Suffolk sides meet at Greens Meadow tomorrow afternoon (3pm).
But with a highly-anticipated Suffolk Premier Cup semi-final against Felixstowe & Walton United to follow three days later, the Stow manager's focus is very much on trying to secure a Portman Road final for the club's ever-growing number of supporters.
"I just think at this stage of the season, we're not going to win it now," Andrews said.
"We're looking at formations, different people in different positions to see what they can offer us.
"That's what we'll be doing for the rest of the season.
"We're seven weeks away from finishing and for me we've got 10 friendlies and one serious game, possibly two.
"Of course, we still want to finish as high as possible. The boys have still got personal pride and they showed that on Tuesday night (in the 3-3 draw at Ely City).
"They could have felt sorry for themselves (at 3-1 down and with 10 men), but credit where credit's due, they came forward and dug out a result in the end."
Ollie Canfer and Jack Baker came off the bench and scored in the final 10 minutes to salvage a point for the Old Gold and Blacks at the Ellgia Stadium on Tuesday.
Stow were reduced to 10 men when Ryan Clark was shown a red card with the score at 2-1 to Ely, who edged further ahead before Stow rallied late on.

Don't Tell Me I Can't Be a Feminist House Husband
Into the ever-churning vortex of debate about leaning in/having it all comes Lisa Miller's New York
cover story bogus trend story about "the feminist housewife," women who have, without changing any of their feminist convictions, decided they're happier staying at home with the kids as their full time job. They insist that having a career mattered to them, but it simply couldn't compete with the tranquility and stability of having one parent managing the household full-time. Several of Miller's characters describe their pre-housewife lives as miserable and frayed by stress and marital tension. With both parents working, neither gets to the spend the time they want with the kids; dividing up the domestic duties and communicating about them non-stop makes life transactional and exhausting; inevitably someone's dreams are going to get shorted. So the (two!) women in Miller's story say they've discovered, in giving up an outside career and settling into traditional gender roles, that there really is some kind of "natural" groove of the dad going to work and the mom taking care of the kids.
This mass of work-family issues is debated to a pulp, and yet it somehow seems like no satisfying conclusion is ever reached. That's to be expected, I suppose, considering that we are living through one of the greatest technological and economic revolutions in the history of the planet, and it's a little ridiculous to assume that answers will be discovered easily. But there are several things these splashy gender-bomb articles tend to consistently leave out of the picture to the detriment of any serious discussion about the important issues they raise. So with this latest article as an example—and Anne-Marie Slaughter, et al, following closely in the rearview mirror—let me try to point out a few things that are continually overlooked and gotten wrong.
They're too narrowly focused on rich people. I'm far from the first to point this out, but it's striking the extent to which these debates about who chooses to do what are moot when the conversation is taken beyond wealthy white people. The main character of Miller's "feminist housewife" story has a husband who makes "low six figures," which may not be "rich" by Wall Street standards, but is a hell of a lot more than my wife and I make working two full-time jobs. One of us quitting is all but out of the question, and would be all the more so if we had a child So all the talk of optimal arrangements and the "hell" of filling each other in on domestic responsibilities we split becomes meaningless outside of a situation where you have considerable financial flexibility to adjust your domestic arrangement. For many people—including a majority of the people working for places like The Atlantic and New York magazine—the ability to have afford a child at all where they live is a much more pressing question than how to divide the chores.
They're too narrowly focused on women. We are living in the golden age of the Great Women's Internet Polemic, and, while I heartily support writing about and for women, this age—with its high quotient of trend exaggeration and trolling—actually does a disservice to public debate about family issues. Despite the way they are often packaged and discussed, I don't see articles on subjects like Miller's or Slaughter's as "women's issue's journalism"; these issues are vitally important to my life as a husband and future parent. But when the conversation is all or mostly about who is and isn't a proper feminist, and what magazine is getting how many pageviews by trolling who, it starts to feel like we're spinning our wheels on a subject that our society desperately needs to discuss. (Not that that need by any means precludes discussion of the feminism angle; in fact, I'd say the bigger problem is the lack of male writers besides Rod Dreher, PEG and a couple others willing to engage.)
There is a desperate need for men write about what we absurdly think of as "women's issues"—not to "mansplain" to women about what needs to be done, but because we have just as much or more work to do figuring out how to handle modern work, marriage and fatherhood. How much does a career matter? What are we prepared to give up to be parents? Do we have a realistic picture of how two careers and two kids are going to work in practice? And on and on. Unlike women, who have now had decades of feminist dialogue in which to work out these issues as the world changed around them, men have not thought and written enough about what a revolutionized world means for our choices and priorities.
They make too many assumptions about the genders, especially about men. It's depressing to see old gender stereotypes returning as something like a settled truth: women "naturally" care more about kids and are better domestic administrators, and men are only fulfilled by outside work. (The main character of Miller's story explodes with oddly unsubstantiated maxims of this sort, things that might as well have plucked from Phyllis Schlafly's diary by Suzanne Vencker.) I don't care whether you back it up that kind of claim with bullshit evolutionary biology or bullshit fundamentalist theology, it's manifestly contradicted by the world around us, which has nothing but endless variation. Very little about the genders is "naturally" one way or the other. Many, many women dislike children and, even if they don't, struggle to feel what others blithely call "maternal instincts." An equal number of men are gifted with children, and only passively and regretfully put in their time at the office to feed the family they love. If someone were to seriously suggest that my wife will somehow "naturally" enjoy spending every day with our kids more than I would, or would be better at managing the household, I would ask if they had taken leave of their senses.
Nowhere does this tendency to impose gender stereotypes lead to more problems than in the sexist way we treat work-family balance a concern that only women face. Most of the time, men are never assumed to face any kind of choice about how they will sacrifice to have a family, or worse, not expected to sacrifice at all. Unlike women, if they succeed at work, all is more or less well and good. They're automatically excused when they manifest their learned helplessness at cooking, washing dishes, paying bills, etc, while women still feel intense social pressure to succeed at those things even if they have full-time careers or don't have that apocryphal female aptitude for grinding chores. I couldn't possibly describe all the couples my parents' age in which, even if the man is a natural administrator and the woman is not, the woman is left to shoulder—often poorly and with resentment—domestic responsibilities she's no good at. The "women's work" assumption still silently underlies the way we live and think, and the mythology that the man must go out each day to conquer the world continues to shield him from questions and choices that should fairly be addressed to both partners.
They fail to challenge the American idolization of work. So many of these discussions preserve the sacrosanct place of the career in American life, and this is perhaps one of the greatest impediments to actually achieving some sort of workable solution. I appreciate the women in Miller's story who discovered—surprise, surprise—that jobs and careers are massively, massively overrated in American social life. But everyone in the story, including and especially their husbands, cares too much about work. As both Miller's subjects and New York Times reporter Michael Winerip admit, being the stay-at-home parent is often lots more fun that schlepping to an office every day. Personally, I'd rather spend any day with kids than co-workers. If we could collectively admit that we often value and commit to work at a far deeper level than it deserves, maybe we wouldn't be so neurotic about choosing arrangements that make sharing domestic life more natural: working from home, part-time jobs, freelance projects, and occasionally, a few years off when the kids need us most. The world really can wait.
Update: Tracie Egan Morrissey and Jess Grose have solid takedowns of the Miller article and both agree with me that its "weird gender essentialism" is not only made-up bullshit but pretty insulting to men who are great with kids and housework.

The Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, said on Thursday that Nigeria had witnessed? fundamental changes since the country returned to democracy in 1999.
Maku made the statement at the public presentation and launching of two books written by Dr. Otive Igbuzor, Executive Director, African Centre for Leadership, Strategy and Development in Abuja.
"Nigeria is a good country; we are living in a different country now compared to the situation before 1999. Citizens can express their views, and nobody will arrest them because they criticise government.
He observed that all those occupying elected and public offices in the country today had definite time to leave unlike before 1999, when government was being over thrown through coup.
"It does not mean that all our problems as a nation have been solved; we are now in a democratic society, we have a president that is doing thing different entirely.
"Look at the electoral process for instance; look at what it was before President Goodluck Jonathan came in and what is it today. Elections are getting better, powerful people are been defeated in elections,'' he said.
Maku added that? the nation had also witnessed considerable changes in the economy, saying, "we are seeing efforts in the economy, things are been done differently."
The minister said that in the past, one could not set up an electricity company in Nigeria, adding that things had started taking shape for the better.
According to him, the development is due to improvement in the supply of electricity.
Maku noted that the nation's economy was passing through "a fundamental shift since the inception of the present administration."
The minister said that though "we have not reached there; there is indication that things would change."
He called on the people using religion to destroy society to shun such act in the interest of peace and tranquility of the country.
Maku, who expressed optimism that the country was on the path to positive change, however, called for "all hands to be on deck'' for the realisation of such noble goal.
The reviewer of the two books, Prof. Eghosa Osaghae, said one of them entitled:" Overcoming the Challenges of Transformation'' is very topical and timely.
He said the book proffered suggestion on ways to effectively transform the country.
Osaghae also described it as a welcome contribution to the President Goodluck Jonathon's transformation agenda and recommended it for policy makers, politicians and students.
For the second book, " National Security and Policing in Nigeria," the reviewer said it proffered solution aimed at ensuring peace and security of the nation.
He added that the books would add value to education, strategic-oriented policing and effective civilian oversight of the Police.
Osaghae noted that "National Security and Policy in Nigeria" examines the nature and character of the Nigerian state and how it has affected the nature and pattern of the threat to national security in Nigeria.
According to him, transforming Nigeria requires dynamic and visionary leadership, appropriate development strategy with correct development approach and relevant knowledge.
All these virtues, he added, were contained in the two books for the people to read and digest and impact them to the collective efforts to develop the country.

The following features are considered intrinsic to the significance of the Gungahlin Homestead Precinct:
Gungahlin is a former pastoral property homestead landscape that has been adapted for use as a scientific wildlife research station. It comprises a complex of buildings, a carriage way and carriage loop with tree plantings, former garden areas, and former paddocks with dams and water race remnant. It is important for its ability to convey a history of rural property living within its current use as a national research station, encompassing major changes of homestead architecture resulting from economic booms.
The 1862-65 rendered brick Georgian style northern section of the homestead, including interior detailing along with remaining historic outbuildings, the dam north of the carriageway that connects to the water race, all constructed during the property ownership of William Davis Jnr, portray the first major phase of rural property development. The grand sandstone Victorian style addition of 1883 that transformed the homestead complex into a rural mansion with fine interior detailing, a carriage way and carriage loop, demonstrates a period of economic rural prosperity during the ownership of Edward Crace. (Criterion A4) Australian Historic Themes: 3.9 Farming for Commercial Profit.
Gungahlin is important for its association with Federation, being one of three imposing rural mansions estates (along with Duntroon and Yarralumla) acquired by the Federal Government to provide for national institutions during a period when the Federal Government had limited funding for development. As with Duntroon and Yarralumla the complex retains the frontage and presence of the historic rural mansion as the focal feature of the building complex. (Criterion A4) Australian historic Themes: 4.3, Developing Institutions, 7.4 Federating Australia.
The Gungahlin complex is one of a few two-storey late 19th century country estates of the pre-Canberra rural district that remains and demonstrates periods of rural prosperity and comfort in its scale and style. (Criterion B2)
The former homestead building including interior details exhibits the Victorian Georgian styles in the early northern section and a simplified Victorian Tudor style in the southern sandstone addition. The curving carriage way and tear drop shaped carriage loop leading to the homestead on a rise are typical of the picturesque rural estate layout. The choice of trees from the various period plantings, the spatial arrangement and style of the historic outbuildings and choice of fabric, all demonstrate typical period styles form eras of development. (Criterion D2)
The former homestead with its double bay windows, ashlar rough cut stone work, location on natural rise, is a visual focal feature which is enhanced by the approach along the former carriage bay now enclosed by suckering elms. (Criterion E1)
The sandstone wing of the homestead, believed to have been designed by John Gregory Crace is acknowledged for its period design style and interior detailing. The spatial arrangement of the nineteenth century structures with nearby twentieth century laboratory buildings has been mostly successfully achieved by building layouts that respect the building configuration of historic outbuildings around a courtyard, and by their low rise form which do not conflict with the focal feature importance of the historic homestead. The exception is the Laboratory Research Support building which extends beyond the eastern front of the homestead and impacts the carriage loop. (Criterion F1)
The complex has a strong association with nineteenth century rural families Davis and Crace and the long term lessee J F Watson, all important in the local community. (Criterion H1)

It is hard to believe that 11 weeks has passed since my surgery. This past Monday on my 11 week hysterectomy anniversary, I finally returned to work. I was off for a full 10 weeks and am now back to work on a limited work schedule. I will only be working 5 hours a day for the first few weeks back. This is both helpful and frustrating at the same time. Easing myself back into the swing of things is important. Also there is the fact that even after 11 weeks, I still have a good deal of pain and discomfort if I sit straight up for to long. That all being said, it is frustrating when I finally get things progressing with the piles of work on my desk and I have to stop and leave because I'm not allowed to be there any longer then 5 hours.
Although I cannot say that I fully "enjoyed" my time off, it was still nice to have a bit of a break from work. This was the longest I had gone without working since I started working fulltime 2 weeks after high school graduation. Prior to surgery, I had made myself a list of all the things I planned on accomplishing while I was off. I knew I couldn't do anything physical during the early stages of recovery, but I also knew that I had many tasks on my never ending "todo" list that require no more then a computer and time. Time!! Something that I normally do not have a lot of was finally going to be available to me! I wanted to get all my pictures transferred off my phone and organized and uploaded to Snapfish. I planned on scrapbooking and blogging several times a week. Yet, the weeks passed by and I did none of these things. My physical and emotional recovery was a lot more difficult then I imagined and still continues to be to this day. The extended recovery time and my inability to feel "normal" as quickly as I anticipated caused me to feel depressed. I found myself week after week feeling more and more like all I wanted to do was hide away in my home. Although I saw little moments of improvement, I found myself having very little energy or enthusiasm to do the things I once enjoyed. As the days and weeks ticked away and my return to work date grew closer, I found myself falling deeper into this dark place. I was sad…and yet I wasn't really even sure exactly why.
Jumping forward to Monday June 10th, my appointment with our onsite clinic was set for 7:00 a.m. I needed to be seen there before I could be officially released to return to my desk for work. By 8:00 a.m., I was once again walking the familiar halls of my office building. It was strange, but once I was actually onsite, I felt almost excited. I explained it as that "first day of school" feeling. The butterflies and the anticipation. Yes, it's silly I know. I had only been gone 10 weeks, not a year. But nonetheless, here I was heading back to what for me was routine and familiar. Being someone with extreme anxiety and OCD, routines and familiarity are important aspects of contentment. Little did I know this would help pull me out of my funk. I'd become so recluse the last few weeks at home that I had forgotten how good it felt to interact with other people.
When I walked into my office, I had to smile as my coworkers had decorated my office with cute balloons and streamers to welcome me back. It felt so nice to know that I was missed and that people were happy to see me return.
It's been 4 days now since I returned to work. Things are going good and I am slowly getting back into the grove and catching up on emails and paperwork. I am thankful for the 5 hour a day limited work schedule, as I do notice the pelvic pains start at about hour 4. I am assuming that as I start strengthening my abdominal muscles, the pains will eventually subside overtime. Until then I am trying to go easy on myself and not get to terribly frustrated when the stabbing pains get to sharp to ignore. I have said often over the past 11 weeks that I am not sure if I will ever feel like my old self again… I've been fighting this internal battle to try and regain what I feel like I have lost. But I'm starting to realize that it really doesn't matter. The old me.. the new me… either way, I'm still me and I plan on making the best of whoever I happen to be at this very moment.
So, let the journey continue……………………………………….

Shubb Capos | Väsen, Mike Marshall, and Darol Anger | "Flippen"
A powerhouse collaboration on stage at Wintergrass 2018, playing the Väsen tune "Flippen" with a fun interlude of "Squirrel Hunters."
by Shubb Capos
March 22, 2019
One of the highlights of this year's Wintergrass, the 25th Anniversay of the popular bluegrass festival, was the collaboration between the Swedish trio Väsen with mandolin master Mike Marshall and fiddle virtuoso Darol Anger. They were clearly having as much fun playing together as the crowd was having witnessing the fireworks.
Shubb Capos was on hand for the weekend, and captured video of this and many other moments during the festival. In this video, the band plays the Väsen tune "Flippen," breaking into a fun take on the traditional favorite "Squirrel Hunters" along the way.
Väsen is Roger Tallroth (a Shubb Capos endorser) on 12-string guitar, Olav Johansson on nyckelharpa, and Mikael Marin on viola.

text: I hope someone can shed some light on an issue I'm having with my 2 week old 03 M3 convertible with 56k miles. (no SMG) This car does not have traditional TPM sensors and figures tire diameter through the ABS wheel speed sensors. Apparently it looks for a change in wheel speeds, indicating a deflating tire. I have no ABS, DSC/TC lights, but the tire pressure light comes on after about 10-15 minutes of driving. All pressures are at 40 PSI, the mid range between lightly and fully loaded pressures on the door jamb. I've had them at min and max pressure too. Any ideas on what to look for?

In an attempt to express more gratitude and awareness of all the good things in life, I'm embarking on a little project. Once a week I'll post my 'Top 5' of the week – things that made me think, smile, marvel, laugh, appreciate or reflect. I hope you'll enjoy them, too.
This week's Top 5 are:
1) The Great Gif
After Titanic came out I had Leo posters covering my walls for several years. He is divine, and I'm looking forward to seeing him in action again in The Great Gatsby. Put Leo in a gif, and a Great Gatsby gif at that, and I'm yours. Thank you to @kingnivin for spotting and sharing this – check out Nivin's post here. He writes about how gifs could be the next big thing in movie promotion. I agree.
Gif from The Great Gatsby promo Tumblr.
2) Hungry Mondays deliciousness
Hungry Mondays is delicious, slow cooked food that I buy pretty much every week. A group of chefs slow cook two different dishes every week and sell them for $9 a portion (if you pick up from a few handy locations). One of last week's dishes was my favourite so far: 16 hour pork and beef chili con carne with a house baked corn bread. It doesn't hurt that whoever runs the Facebook page has an impeccable way with words, e.g.: "House baked corn bread comes fresh out of the oven, gets cooled and sliced. It comes as a side with El Capo's chilli con carne, the sweetness of the bread compliments the chilli of the chilli, which is mild to medium, depending on how soulful you are." They've captured my heart with both food and words.
3) What are the best ways to think of ideas for a startup?
I enjoyed this answer by @startuprob on Quora. He lists some absolute gold ways in which you can generate ideas, such as:
- Look through your bank statement to see where your money is going. (Could you be doing any of those tasks better? Cheaper?)
- Ask yourself, "What type of business would you want to run if there was absolutely no chance of failure?"
- Look through the customer service sections of websites and find out what people are complaining about.
Thank you, Rob! Read his full answer on on Quora.
4) 20th Century Fox intro on the recorder
It's a couple of years old and completely ridiculous but brings back memories of failing miserably on the recorder (didn't we all have a crack at primary school?) and it certainly scored LOLs. Thanks Jayde and Nick for the heads up!
5) Daft Punk's new track, Get Lucky
The French boys are back and I'm loving this funky 70s vibe track. Get on it!

|Not Applicable
Obesity and smoking are major risk factors for a variety of health-related disorders, such as heart disease, stroke, certain forms of cancer, and diabetes. Recently, it has been reported that up to 65 percent of adults in the United States are overweight or obese. The increasing epidemic of obesity has led to many initiatives to treat obesity and to a number of recent initiatives to prevent weight gain. Similarly, the prevalence of smoking has not declined in the past few years, despite the availability of several clinically and cost-effective smoking cessation programs. One unwanted effect of smoking cessation is weight gain, which, in turn, may exacerbate weight-related health issues. Behavioral programs, and to a lesser degree pharmacological programs, designed to reduce post-cessation weight gain have been successful. However, given that this weight gain is typically cosmetic, it has been determined that such programs should be targeted to those at a higher medical risk as a result of the weight gain (e.g., individuals with hypertension). To our knowledge, no study has evaluated a smoking cessation program, followed by a lifestyle modification program, to prevent weight gain among those placed at medical risk by the post-cessation weight gain, including individuals with hypertension. Some studies find an increased prevalence of hypertension following smoking cessation. It is believed that this is largely (but not solely) due to weight gain following cessation. However, any weight gain in individuals with hypertension places them at risk. Body weight is the single best predictor of adult blood pressure, and blood pressure responds to very small changes in overall body weight.
This study will recruit 660 smokers with hypertension or elevated blood pressure. Given that African Americans are at high risk for both post-cessation weight gain and hypertension, the majority of participants recruited will be African American. Participants will be randomly assigned to either of the following: (a) a validated smoking cessation program followed by a validated weight control program (TONE), which consists of changes in dietary intake and physical activity; or (b) the same smoking cessation program followed by a general health education (contact-time control) program. A follow-up evaluation will occur 1 year following the end of treatment.

Yahoo holds key to FBI probe of Hillary-Huma emails
– WorldNetDaily
"Yahoo.com holds the key to determining just how severely Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton may have violated national-security laws with emails that Huma forwarded to herself at email@example.com, which ended up on a laptop owned by her husband, former Congressman Anthony Weiner.
The FBI has the legal authority to force Yahoo to disclose whether IPs belonging to third parties, including foreign third parties, had access to read in real time – and in non-redacted form – emails that Abedin forwarded to firstname.lastname@example.com that ended up on Wiener's laptop.
On Aug. 29, WND reported two-thirds of Abedin's released emails were forwarded to personal addresses she controlled.
In August, WND realized that anyone with Abedin's Yahoo email account username and password could have accessed firstname.lastname@example.com to read in real time – and in a non-redacted form – all State Department emails, including those with classified information that Abedin forwarded to herself.
As WND reported Sept. 6, several of the emails Abedin forwarded to her account at email@example.com were found to contain such highly sensitive material that the State Department redacted 100 percent of the content pages, marking many pages with a bold stamp reading "PAGE DENIED.
Huma's complex use of email@example.com
Careful analysis of the Huma Abedin emails, released to Judicial Watch on August 17, made WND aware in August and September that in addition to Huma Abedin forwarding an estimated two-thirds of all State Department emails written by her and/or addressed to her to email@example.com, Secretary Clinton and others in the State Department freely used firstname.lastname@example.com in transmitting and receiving State Department emails.
The most typical example of Abedin forwarding a State Department email to herself can be seen in an email obtained by Judicial Watch dated May 19, 2009, in which Abedin, using her State Department secure email account at "Abedin, Huma, <email@example.com>" forwarded to
"humamabedin[redacted] an email sent to her by Kenneth H. Merten, Deputy Assistant Secretary at the State Department.
A second variation involved Abedin using her email address on Secretary Clinton's private server, "Huma Abedin [email@example.com]," to forward an email to Abedin via her private Yahoo account at firstname.lastname@example.com, as seen in another email dated June 23, 2009.
That Clinton and Abedin sent State Department emails to Abedin insecure, offline Yahoo.com email account appears to be a clear violation of national-security laws regarding the handling of classified information.
The violation is compounded if the emails were downloaded to a laptop or other electronic device owned by or shared by Weiner because access to Weiner's email usernames and passwords, either by consent or as a result of hacking, would have allowed access to State Department emails Clinton and Abedin sent to email@example.com.
If the FBI obtains information from Yahoo.com that unauthorized IP addresses, possibly some of which might be foreign IP addresses, then the national security crimes under investigation might reach to espionage and/or treason charges, depending in large part on whether or not Abedin and/or others released username and password access consensually, in order to allow unauthorized IP reader access to State Department emails in real-time and a non-redacted format.
…..Continue reading @ WorldNetDaily
– Note, setting up an email account for auto-forwarding is not an automatic or default setting. It is a deliberate act. No doubt that fact set off the alarm bells at the FBI. Huma Abedin left a trail to an archive of emails that she and Hillary had thought they had destroyed.
That archive was essentially open to all capable hackers as well as foreign entities. This was a huge breach of government security. This was deliberate.
Also interesting that TruePundit.com seems to have gotten this right back in September in the article below and got little press about it. Too bad, but cool for TruePundit. /CJ
Clinton Aide Huma Abedin Forwarded Classified & Top Secret Emails to Yahoo & Webmail linked to Anthony Weiner
– Truepundit | Sep 2016
"Hillary Clinton's closest personal aide often sent classified and top secret State Dept. emails to her personal email accounts, according to documents released by the FBI.
Huma Abedin told FBI agents in an April interview that she didn't know how to consistently print documents or emails from her secure Dept. of State system. Instead, she would forward the sensitive emails to:
- Her personal Clinton.com email address
- Her personal yahoo.com address
- Her email linked to husband Anthony Weiner
Abedin said, according to FBI documents, she would then access those email accounts via webmail from an unclassified computer system at the State Dept. and print the documents, many of which were classified and top secret, from the largely unprotected webmail portals.
Clinton did not have a computer in her office on Mahogany Row at the State Dept. so she was not able to read timely intelligence unless it was printed out for her, Abedin said. Abedin also said Clinton could not operate the secure State Dept. fax machine installed in her Chappaqua, NY home without assistance.
Perhaps more alarming, according to the FBI's 302 Report detailing its interview with Abedin, none of the multiple FBI agents and Justice Department officials who conducted the interview pressed Abedin to further detail the email address linked to Weiner. There was never a follow up, according to the 302 report."

"Has Secretary Clinton asked Huma Abedin what was on that laptop?"
– DailyCaller
"There's credible reporting out there that this came from the laptop of Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin," he continued. "Why on Earth wouldn't Hillary Clinton say to her closest personal aide, was there any stuff on your laptop, and what was it?"
Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, spent Sunday morning giving interviews about FBI Director James Comey's decision to make public the new developments in Clinton's private email server investigation.
And that was bad news for Huma Abedin.
While being questioned by Fox News' Chris Wallace, Mook dodged questions about Hillary and her top aide.
"I'm asking you a direct question," the "Fox News Sunday" host posed to Mook. "Has Secretary Clinton asked Huma Abedin what was on that laptop that she shared with her husband Anthony Weiner?"

House Intelligence Chair Nunes R-CA: Clinton left classified papers in Russia, China
– Washington Examiner
"House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes charged Monday that Hillary Clinton left sensitive documents while traveling overseas, and demanded an answer to those charges by the middle of this week.
In one incident uncovered in Freedom of Information Act requests, according to Nunes, Clinton "left classified documents in her hotel room in China and that U.S. Marine Corps security officials filed a report related to the possible compromise of the documents."
In another case, he said a Clinton aide "was counseled by Diplomatic Security officers because she brought Clinton's classified briefing book into a hotel room in Russia and a classified document from the briefing book was left in the hotel room after her departure."
Nunes asked Comey to inform Congress how many incidents the FBI investigated had turned up instances where Clinton or her staff "mishandled" classified documents while overseas, as well as any "damage assessment" performed by the FBI about mishandled secret material."

This two-story building is one of two residential properties in Fullerton exhibiting elements of the Santa Fe/Pueblo style as part of a design that is primarily Spanish Colonial architecture. The Pueblo style is reflected with the building's refined blocky form, the setback for the second story portion that creates the wrap-around balcony, and the design of the flat roof with a modest parapet detail on both stories. The use of arched openings, as part of the design of the sheltered entry areas for the individual units (two along Commonwealth Avenue and a third facing Berkeley Avenue) is the other distinguishing feature in this building. The building is unaltered from its original construction except for the apparent re-stuccoed walls.
Constructed in the mid-1920s, this is one of the earliest properties developed for rental units in Fullerton. Little is known about the original owner, but in the 1940s, the Grieves family, who has retained ownership to the present day, acquired the property.
The structure was extensively rehabilitated in late 1998.

2010 is about to be history. Gone, in the blink of both eyes. 2011 is on the way in, and she looks to be a feisty one. I ruminated in my last post as to how fast this year went. And, now as is my wont, I am looking back over the year to see the good, the bad, and the down right ugly. First, the good. Well, I pretty much detailed that in the last entry and in the one previous to that. But, I will just add that I am in a better place emotionally than I have been in years. Decades. My lifetime, probably. And, again, it's not necessarily because of different circumstances or anything like that. It's because of the hard, boring, tedious inner work I've done over decades. And, I mean decades. When I think back to the person I was in my early twenties, she is unrecognizable to me. Trapped in two eating disorders, but denying it, being someone completely foreign to me. I had reinvented myself before going to college because I was such a loser as a kid, but the second incarnation of me was only better on the surface. And, it caused me lots of pain as well. As incarnation 2.2 (the upgrade), I did manage to get an MA in Writing & Consciousness, so not all was a failure. Alas, I also got my heart thoroughly trounced on for the second time and decided that love was for others and not for me. I pouted and sulked a lot, if I remember correctly. I have written before about the lost 15 years, and I will do so again. From the time I was 22 until the time I was 37, I shut down. I hurt so much, I decided that the only way to survive was to go into an emotional coma.
And, survived, I did. Barely. Dubiously. But, I am alive today, so survived I must have.
I would like to say, I cannot emphasize how much Taiji has helped me. I've been at it for almost three years now, and my emotional health has gotten steadily better since I started practicing Taiji. It's not because I have some magical Asian gene that allows me to do this shit by osmosis. Believe me, I don't have that gene. And, in addition, I'm lazy. So, I haven't practiced nearly as much as I should have/could have/would have. I've been frustrated with myself because I know that I feel better after practicing, and I know that practicing Taiji puts me in a better place.
In other words, I sabotage myself. I don't do the very thing I know will help me, and then I beat myself up for it. But, here is the flip side to that: I finished the Solo Form. I am doing work on the two-person drills. I am moving forward, despite my stalling and crawling and whining and moaning. I have learned to…not accept but at least deal with the obstacles I put in my own way by acknowledging that I do it, and then moving forward, anyway. For example, I know that I will worry endlessly any time I try something new or controversial. I don't like it, but I have realized by now that I can't force myself to behave differently. So, I do my worry thing, and then I do what I need to do. After much worrying. And more worrying. And no sleeping.
So, the lesson I have learned from taking Taiji is that, as trite as it sounds, it's important to keep the overall arc moving forward.
Interjection: I have been reading comments over at BJ on this thread. Cole posted why this year was a shit year, and some people got it in their heads to tell him to turn that frown upside down. Stop that shit. Really. It's OK to say, "Yeah, sucks. Hope it's better next year." Or even, "Hey, here are some good things you talked about, too. Remember?" But, I was starting to get irritated at the determined optimists, and the optimism wasn't aimed at me. First of all, life is not what you make of it all the time. We have much less control over things than we think we do. Second, even if it's true, take it from me, someone who is depressed does not want to hear about how much better his/her life is than some poor guy who got his dick chopped off by mistake (look at the update Cole provided). The only way it helps my depression is that it makes me want to punch the talker in the mouth. So, I guess mad is better than sad, but still, not productive.
Back to musing. I used to make resolutions. I kept them sometimes, and I didn't keep them other times. More often than not, though, I let them go by the wayside. Then, I would beat myself up, and I would end up feeling worse than ever. Now, yeah, perhaps I made my resolutions a tad bit too grand (a hundred pounds in a month! A novel in a week! Being a superstar in every aspect of my life! Yeah, I exaggerate, but only by a bit), but still. I should be able to meet them, right? Yeah, not so much.
So. I gave up on resolutions. I threw them out the window. Instead, I have taken to setting goals for the next year and planning the steps that will take me there. For instance, I have a big problem with procrastination. I need to deal with that. Tomorrow.
So, I'm a bit melancholy right now. But, that's par the course for me. I can't help thinking of all the things I haven't done in the past year. I can't help but wonder how life would be different if I have done X instead of Y, A instead of B. I can't help mourn the losses of the year (tangible or not) because this is who I am. But, for the first time, I can say that I can look back and feel pretty damn proud of the strides I've made. I've come a long way, baby, and I am going to do my damnedest to make it even further next year.
Happy New Year, bitchez. May you find peace, love, joy, happiness, and all that other good shit in 2011.

The Garage
While 18- and 21-plus age groups have plenty of places to choose from around town, younger teenagers are often left out in the cold, searching for all-ages gigs or a place to hang out. The Garage, the City of Burnsville's youth recreation center, has after-school and summer programs for middle- and high-school youth. On the weekends, it turns into an all-ages music venue, offering gigs by local up-and-coming bands, usually for $5 to $15 a head. The venue has earned plenty of accolades through the years, including several national awards.
- Best All-Ages Venue Best Of
- Twin Cities all-ages venues: Clubs, coffeeshops, and more
- Astronautalis: I'll go PG-13 at all-ages shows, but it's impossible for PG or G
- The Garage to become nonprofit music venue in 2015
- Creepoid: "We Haven't Killed Each Other Yet"
- Hawthorne Heights: After 10 years, it's fun to throw some curve balls at yourself

Adoptees and adoptive parents who are searching for birth records have a few options. Although some non-identifying information may sometimes be obtained from the agency through which the adoption took place, in most cases adoption and birth records are sealed once the adoption is finalized. State-by-state laws regarding access to vital records vary.
Those searching for birth records within the United States and territories may search for specific state and territory requirements to order desired records here. Basic guidelines that are required, regardless of the state or territory one is searching, in may be read here. This information is helpful in states where records are accessible. Some states do not yet allow open access for all adults. In those states there are other ways to gain information. Joining a search and reunion registry could result in desired information.
You can read more about searching here. To search for a variety of information within the United States and its territories, including foster care and adoption agencies, contact numbers, support groups and search registries, go to the Child Welfare Information Gateway National Foster Care & Adoption Directory Search.
Before starting the process of requesting adoption or birth records, gather all the information you have access to, search for missing information, then move forward according to the requirements of your specific state or territory.

Title Aspiring models should identify the best category before approaching Modelagenturens
For aspiring models in west Europe and the new eastern states that have emerged after breaking away for the Soviet Union, a German is the best bet for kick starting a successful career. It is true that models are not always born and a large number of them have to be groomed for the big show ahead. By contacting an agency, they can avail chances of getting fashion contracts as agencies are experts in recruiting people.
A successful cast is a part of modeling, but that is not the end of it. There is a lot to do before approaching a like preparing a cutting edge portfolio. It is absolutely essential for aspiring models wanting to take advantage of a casting agency to prepare a professional portfolio with images from other campaigns. can prepare a model and also provide training to fine tune the moves, but it is the casting agency that provides the real break. All companies including ad agencies look up a Castingengenturen in Germany for selecting the right model for promoting their product or service.
Contracts in casting are not awarded at the drop of a hat, but after serious consideration of the body language and looks of the models. All models do not look the same and they emote differently as well. A model suited for a toothpaste need to have a million dollar smile and little else, but someone promoting sports goods or a lingerie need to have better physical attributes than anybody else. The strapping, ready-to-bolt appearance can literally single out fashion models from others who are into promoting products or services that do not require accentuated curves.
Many companies look for event models to perk up a meeting, a seminar or a venue where lots of people gather. It could be a business or a large family event, but good looking people are required to add zing to the show. The best bet would be to identify the right category for someone aspiring to make a really successful career out of modeling. For trade shoes, clubs and malls, good looking promotion models are sourced for handing over fliers, brochures and pamphlets of companies and also for interacting with interested prospects who could be customers in future.

I haven't made a whole lot of progress on the game in the past week or two, mostly because I have been focusing on putting together a presentation and workshop on neural networks, and how to use R to play around with training one. Machine learning has been a side interest for a long while so it's good to exercise those muscles every now and then.
Back on Startup Freak, I have spent a bit of time completing the UI for leveling and upgrading the servers and network topology. As I had mentioned before, I am now in cleanup and tuning phase and thinking very hard about how to procure art for the game.
That is all.

Author : Duncan Wisely is a director at GeoZero
13 November 2019
Government and Parliament have adopted the Committee on Climate Change, a statutory body giving independent advice to government, recommendations to target net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases in the UK by this date (i.e. at least a 100% reduction in emissions from 1990).
The scale of this task is not insignificant but unlike many previous reports, the imminent threat of irreversible climate change means that organisations are starting to question how they can reach net zero. In the Net Zero report, the committee made clear that meeting this target is dependent on early and decisive action to strengthen policy.
Now the Government must act. Nearly half of the energy we consume in the UK is used to produce heat. Heat is the single biggest reason we use energy in our society.
Currently we meet under 5% of this demand with heat from renewable sources and we have identified that we need to increase this proportion. Energy use in homes accounts for about 14% of the greenhouse emissions.
These emissions need to fall by at least 24% by 2030 from 1990 levels, but are currently off track. In 2017, annual temperature-adjusted emissions from buildings rose by around 1% relative to the previous year.
In the 2019 Spring Statement, the Treasury (HMT) showed leadership in announcing an end to gas heating in new homes, but now must engage more with the delivery challenge for reducing emissions across the economy.
A current alternative to boilers is to use a gas fired CHP however in London at least, this may not be an option if the new London plan is approved in the coming months as this states "It is not expected that gas engine CHP will fit this category with the technology that is currently available".
What options do we have if not gas as a source of heating?
It is proposed that gas boilers will be replaced by low-carbon heating systems in all new homes built after 2025 in a bid to tackle the escalating climate crisis.
The Department of Energy & Climate change has stated "In order to reduce emissions from heating UK buildings there is an increasing focus on heat pumps and low-carbon heat networks".
This seems to be a good solution as we are now generating more zero-carbon energy with total renewable generation increased by 9.2% January to March 2019 on the same quarter last year to 31.1 TWh.
As a result, renewables' share of electricity generation was a near record 35.8 per cent in 2019 Q1, up 5.3 percentage points on the share in 2018 Q1, and reflective of increased capacity. Recently a £100m fund has been announced by the government so this should see a further increase.
What are other countries doing?
In Norway, one third of households have a heat pump and they represent 95% of heating systems in new homes. In France, the number of heat pumps sold each year is 8-10 times higher than here.
In Europe, sales of heat pumps accelerated in 2018 reaching almost 650,000 units. This is a 12.9% increase from the previous year, totalling over 5.1 billion euros.
The promotion of heat pumps has been supported at a European level by the Building Regulation Directive, which has the objective of limiting the average energy consumption in most new buildings. Sales are primarily being driven by residential buildings applications.
What are the advantages of heat pumps?
Zero carbon emissions on site are none if renewable energy is used for generation.
There is no combustion involved reducing air pollution. Heat pumps also require less maintenance and can-do cooling as well as heating.
The Government has made progress in the proposed The future Homes Standard by stating "We anticipate that the installation of heat pumps, particularly air-to-water and air-to air heat pumps, will play a major role in delivering low carbon heat for homes built to the future standard".
So, it looks like we could have found a solution. However here comes the impasse as the proposed standard quite rightly points out. "It is not feasible to ramp up installation rates of heat pumps straight away to the current level of gas boiler sales (over a million per year) from the current level of 20,000 per year, not only due to the lack of market development but also, because there are not enough qualified heat pump installers".
This will take a considerable time to implement and unfortunately time as we all know is not on our side. This coupled with the impending inability to use gas fired CHP will only exasperate the situation.
GeoZero believe we have the key that could relieve the bottleneck in heating (and cooling) our buildings with zero carbon emissions with none of the drawbacks and time delays with the current thinking.
We have been manufacturing packaged heat pumps and heat Networks for over 10 years that have the following advantages;
• We use standard components and have in excess of 14000m2 of manufacturing capacity in our UK facility.
• There is no need for specialist installers. The unit is pre tested and commissioned in the factory saving valuable time and money on site. The unit comes as a single package therefore installation time is greatly reduced saving further time and money on site thus avoiding costly programme delays.
• Single point responsibility. From the inception to completion and beyond with maintenance and remote monitoring giving cost certainty and eliminating risk
• A packaged heat pump can be a direct replacement for a CHP unit to provide the required heating.
• It is more cost effective to install one large heat pump rather than individual units also the loads can be matched more closely to the demand saving energy and capital cost.
• The only maintenance required is in the central plant negating the need to enter individual dwellings for maintenance or repairs. This is a massive benefit for the client as they don't need to be present for maintenance or repairs.
• If an individual heat pump fails no heating is available whereas with a packed system because it is modular there will be nearly 100% guaranteed heating/cooling therefore providing an uninterrupted supply of heating and cooling.
• The controls are central and can be remotely monitored for energy consumption and fault finding together with preventative maintenance.
• Frees up valuable floor space in the building, as a heat pump does not need to be installed in each dwelling.
With a life expectancy of over 20 years as well as the benefits listed above and GeoZero's existing technology, we believe we have the ability to help the industry become carbon Zero in application in the very near future.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has set the ball rolling to define the term "abusive" in the Dodd-Frank Act, which prohibits lenders from committing unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices.
Acting Director Mick Mulvaney announced the move in the CFPB's rulemaking agenda released last month, but did not specify a timeline for the definition.
"Unfair and deceptive have been well defined over the years," John Redding, partner for Washington, D.C.-based Buckley Sandler LLP, told AFN. "A lender can't know if something is considered abusive because they don't have something to measure against."
Meanwhile, auto lenders have been on guard since the bureau's September Supervisory Highlights report highlighted fraudulent and unfair practices related to billing statements and wrongful repossessions. Redding believes that any clarity from the bureau will help auto finance.
"It's tough to build a compliance system around a concept that [lenders] don't know what the guardrails are," he said. "We may not want more regulation, but to get an understanding of what abusive means can only be helpful."
While a definition to the term "abusive" may add clarity to the sector, it will likely have minimal impact on lenders' operations, said Chris Willis, partner in Atlanta-based Ballard Spahr LLP's litigation and consumer financial services groups, told AFN.
"Reining in the use of abusive doesn't have a practical way of making an impact," he said. Rather, the bureau's recent mention of possible rulemaking related to the disparate impact doctrine would be far more valuable, he said.

The ministry's Preventive Medicine Department suggested to the province that they strengthen communication activities on how to prevent the spread of the disease from poultry to humans in high risk areas.
The Son La Preventive Department has been asked to work with local authorities to tighten inspection and supervision in efforts to detect suspected cases early and take timely measures to handle outbreaks.
Local hospitals were requested to prepare necessary facilities, equipment and medicine stocks for supervising and treating suspected cases.
The health ministry also recommended regular washing of hands with soap, practising personal hygiene, and avoiding direct contact with bird flu A/H5N6 patients or sick poultry to effectively prevent the disease from spreading to humans. People with symptoms of fever, coughing and breathing difficulties should visit a doctor for an examination and to determine the symptoms.
The move has been initiated after the northern Son La Province yesterday announced that bird flu A/H5N6 was detected in poultry of three households at Lua and Sang hamlets and Hua La Commune of Son La City.
The province reported that more than 300 chickens were ill or had perished due to bird flu A/H5N6 in the area during the past ten days. The province authorities destroyed all the sick chickens and took measures to quarantine and eliminate the disease from spreading to neighbouring areas. — VNS
