L-3 Receives $27M to Support the E-6B TACAMO Fleet (not EA-6B)
L-3 Vertex Aerospace LLC in Madison, MS received a $27 million indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity contract for logistics services in support of the E-6B Mercury fleet (aka. TACAMO, as in TAke Charge And Move Out). With the exercise of four, one-year options, the total value of the contract could reach $142.3 million.
Services will be provided to the Commander, Strategic Communications Wing ONE (CSCW-1), and three TACAMO squadrons at Tinker Air Force Base, OK (70%). Support for operations will be given at Travis AFB, CA (10%); Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, MD, including the Systems Integration Lab (10%); and Offutt AFB, NB (10%), and are expected to be complete in October 2006. This contract was competitively procured via an electronic request for proposals; one offer was received by the Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, MD (N00019-06-D-0011). Sources: DefenseLINK, L-3 corporate release.
See DID's FOCUS Article on the E-6 Program. These "survivable airborne communication system" airplanes support the US Navy's SSBN ballistic missile submarine force and overall strategic forces. With the advent of the new "Tactical Trident" converted Ohio Class special operations subs, their unique capabilities become even more useful. The E-6B version also has a secondary role as a "Looking Glass" Airborne National Command Post.
N.B. A minor typo in transcription led DID to report originally on the EA-6B, which is the Prowler electronic warfare aircraft. DID salutes reader Robert Frost of the VQ-4 "Shadows" for catching the error, and sending us the improved TACAMO picture.

Regan Slater cemented himself in Chris Wilder's plans moving forward, with a bone crunching tackle at Ipswich Town that was certainly noted by the boss.
The manager, who has high hopes for the 18-year-old, threw him on at half-time following an injury to goalscorer Nathan Thomas and Slater did his chances of more game time in the future no harm at all.
Wilder remarked: "I know we're early into the year, but the highlight for me was that tackle from Regan, that was made in Sheffield!
"Duffy was sitting with us, looking at him thinking where has that come. He cemented their lad with a proper tackle, he's a good kid and I'm delighted for him.
"I know what it is like to be from the city and make a mark at your hometown club and I wanted to make sure he took the plaudits at the end."
The United chief added: "We've got a great Academy, a lot of the praise should go to the people involved there, the scouting is excellent, know we're looking for those with us to kick on.
"They've got to be good enough, that's crucial, I won't just play them for the sake, Regan deserves his chance and I would have loved to have got Norrington-Davies on to.
"Regan did well, he showed people what he's about, know he must get his head down in the U23s and wait for his next opportunity."

Platform for use with GHDL
azdenek posted a topic in Papilio General DiscussionHello, Could someone recommend which Papilio board and shields/wings would be good for learning VHDL/GHDL. This is to help visualize work for a college course that uses GHDL and GTKWave to teach basic digital logic. I was thinking that having an actual board (in addition to using GHDL and GTKWave) would help to learn VHDL/GHDL basics. I have used the Arduino Uno before and I like what I have seen of the software that is used for the Papilio Duo, but I'm not sure if this is the best board to use with VHDL/GHDL and also I'm wondering which shields/wings work well with a board for learning VHDL as well. Thanks for any guidance.

Savanur, RA and Sharanappa, Sajjan V and Mudkavi, Vidyadhar Y (2009) Two dimensional analysis of aerofoil sections for 500 kW horizontal-axis wind turbine. Technical Report. NAL.Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
This work presents use of an implicit RANS solver, viz., IMPRANS developed at the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) for prediction of post stall behaviour of wind turbine airfoils. The result of Imprans are compared with those of viterna-corrizan (VC) correlation for extanded range of angles of attack. The result suggest that VC must be used judiciously together with CFD. In particular, use of VC is not suitable for small negative angles. A proper combination of VC and CFD (in the present case IMPRANS) yield consistent results. Bladed is employed to make an assessment of power output of 500 kW wind turbine custom designed for low speed conditions. The power curves based on various combination of CFD and VC and in-built correlation of bladed produce consistent results.

It is a 'climax' of a different kind for Ragini MMS 2 and Sunny Leone had to actually 'act' for it. Though she has been a part of some dramatic encounters in her debut Hindi film Jism 2, she wasn't quite prepared for what lay ahead for her in Ragini MMS 2. However, the results have been more than gratifying, what with Sunny being totally 'satisfied' with the end results.
"It is an out and out horrifyingly thrilling climax that Sunny has shot for. It was a stretched shooting schedule and while it was scary, it was also physically demanding. As a matter of fact, this sequence, in particular, has made her stretch beyond her limits as an actress. Even she is pleasantly surprised with the result," informs our source.
Said to be lasting close to 15 minutes, the film's climax required Sunny to step into an intense outing.
Confirms Sunny, "I just watched the film's climax last week and I can say that with confidence this is something that has never been seen before in an Indian film. It is intense and scary. The only parallel that I can draw, if at all I have to do that, would be with Hollywood horror movies."
Though the eventual results aren't gory, they are spine-chilling for sure.
"Yes, it's definitely a combination of a lot of different things. There is some good CG on display but most importantly, there is a lot of insanity in the climax. The prosthetics are never-seen-before kind, the background score is scary to the hilt and the overall sound design would make you want to disappear somewhere. The whole focus is on how crazy a situation can get."
While she does detail out the scene well, Sunny says that a lot more would be in the offering once the film hits the screens later this month.
"All I can say is that this is the hardest scene that I have ever worked on. There was a lot of physicality required to get this one right and for me, it has been one bodily experience indeed," smiles Sunny.
Apparently, even though Sunny is seen in a glam avatar for the most part of the film, there would be a new look that would be on display during the turn of events as the film comes to a close.
"Yes, there is a lot of beauty and sexiness right through the film but I get into a much deglamorized avatar as the film reaches its climax. I am myself pleasantly surprised to see how everything has turned for Ragini MMS 2," she concludes.

I am not sure if this is an appropriate question, but I was asked this by a colleague today and do not know how to answer it.
1) Are there any rational solutions to the following equation: $$x^3-8x^2+5x+1 = -7y^2(x-1)x$$
2) Is it possible that this is an elliptic curve in disguise? I have noticed that after projectivizing, there are two points at infinity. Perhaps this is okay under some change of variables? (I plead ignorance on this.)

In a car you are confined to roads, your pace too quick to experience a place. Bikes bring you closer and allow you to stop a bit more, but you are still encumbered with gear. Walking is entirely different; you are fully immersed in what is around you.
The most walked part of New York City is the High Line park, which doesn't immerse you at all, but elevates you. It doesn't just physically remove you from the city by surrounding you with selected works of art – it also removes you from the randomness, diversity and fluidity that make New York City so, well, New Yorkish.
The first time I walked on it, I was overtaken by a loud pack of marching flutists in absurd costumes. It was a manufactured eccentricity, unnecessary given how genuinely eccentric the city already is.
To really see New York City, you need to dive in it. Treated that way, the city is the best place in the world to walk, partly because it has every part of the world in it. Go down the alphabet, every country is represented: there are Afghans living in Brooklyn and Zambians living in the Bronx. There is street art everywhere, not just in fancy galleries.
Mostly though, walking the city it is about meeting the people who live here. When you walk without a set agenda, you engage with people on their terms in their environment, allowing you a small window into how they live.
With that in mind, here is my favorite New York City walk. It is a suggested direction only. Use it as a rough guide to explore further.
Roosevelt Avenue, Queens
Start: 52nd street and Roosevelt Avenue, Woodside (52nd street stop, 7 train)
End: Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue, Flushing (Main Street stop, 7 train)
Length: 4.5 miles
Roosevelt Avenue runs through the middle of Queens, New York's most diverse borough and perhaps the most diverse place in the entire world. Residents speak 138 languages in Queens homes; many of them are represented in the shops and restaurants that line Roosevelt Avenue.
The overhead subway (the 7 train) provides the rhythm, filling Roosevelt Avenue with its sounds and spilling out people. The street is never empty. The surrounding neighborhoods are home to people who work long and odd hours: cab drivers, custodians in Manhattan towers, the dishwashers and cooks in expensive Manhattans restaurants and bars. At 4am it is still busy, with some people coming home from the late shift and others going to the early shift.
Walking it is to see New York as it has been for over 300 years, a polyglot city united in commerce. Near the beginning, at the 52nd street/Lincoln Avenue subway entrance, is an older Irish enclave. As you walk east, farther from Manhattan, the surrounding neighborhood changes quickly: Korean, Filipino, Thai, Tibetan, Indian, Ecuadorian, Colombian, Mexican. It keeps going, a cathartic sequence of different languages and alphabets.
Most of the shops you pass are family-run, not the chain stores that saturate and dull most of America. They sell saris from India, low-cut jeans from Venezuela, hijabs from Indonesia.
Barbershops come in every variety; you can get your hair styled to be cool in Islamabad or Manila. Street vendors sell tacos, hot dogs, empanadas and cholados (a Colombian iced drink). Branching off from Roosevelt are long blocks of apartment buildings, punctuated by commercial streets filled with more shops and bars and restaurants offering food, drink and music from almost every country.
The overlapping neighborhoods create cultural mashups, a reminder that appropriation drives so much of America. An old tiki bar is repurposed as a Colombian family restaurant, Lista El Pollo, with the waitresses wearing traditional outfits as imagined by Hooters. An old Irish bar, Sean Og's, hosts a party celebrating Ecuadorian independence beneath a mural of President John F Kennedy.
Most of the bars are there to accommodate the loneliness of men, laborers from Latin America far away from their families. There are gay bars; the largest even brings customers from Manhattan (Club Evolution, 76-19 Roosevelt Ave). There are "chica bars" where men pay $3 to dance with a woman to mariachi music, a modern version of the taxi bars that served New York's lonely European immigrants in the 1930s.
There are bikini bars on almost every block, where bartenders serve in salacious outfits. I chose one of the bars to be my regular when walking, attracted by the bright outside sign and the dim inside. The Scorpion Bar's sign (75-16 Roosevelt Ave) claims it is a "Café with Tapas", but it only has beer, various hard liquors and fluorescent shots – although food can be brought in from any of the trucks and stands outside, or you can eat across the street at a 24-hour Mexican restaurant (Taqueria Coatzingo, 76-05 Roosevelt Ave). The regulars come to watch soccer and to find someone to listen to them, hopefully the bartender or someone else who understands their past.
In the small parks and squares that line Roosevelt, people collect to argue politics or discuss news from back home. Tibetans, one of the largest of the new groups to settle in Queens, cluster in a pedestrian mall off 74th Street. They gather around a table listening to a man talk quietly. I ask them who he is. "He used to be a politician back home, an opposition leader, until he had to flee."
The religion is equally diverse: you pass mosques, Catholic churches, Hindu temples and countless smaller Pentecostal churches fashioned out of basement apartments. Four blocks away is a Thai Wat (76-16 46th Ave), its bright yellow and orange facade perfectly comfortable next to simple row house. The monks inside are happy to guide you through the Wat, and may offer you a free meal if you look hungry.
If you walk the entire length of Roosevelt, after passing through a quiet stretch that takes you past Citi Field and Arthur Ashe stadium (home of US Open tennis), you emerge in the very non-quiet Flushing, the largest of New York City's three Chinatowns.
The alphabet used and languages spoken changes again, but the energy doesn't. You can end the trip with any Asian food you want: most of the restaurants are great. Although the neighborhood is primarily Taiwanese, most visitors eat the Sichuan food at Spicy and Tasty (39-07 Prince St). After eating, I stop at one of the bars that pop up and then close every few months. Their names are often blunt, like the Black Out Lounge at 133-16 39th Ave, perhaps a product of translation.
My favorite was the Fun Lounge; it had a long mirror where I could watch the reflections of karaoke. If I got there early enough, the bartender, a Korean woman named Ann, continually refilled my glass without my asking. "Here in the US we have something called happy hours. It is when everyone gets cheap beer. That is happy, right?"
Flushing is the final stop on the 7 train (Main Street station), so getting back to Manhattan is easy. Although after a day walking Queens, you may wonder why you would want to go back there.

For two decades, Taste of Thailand has been serving delicious Thai cuisine to healthcare workers, neighbors and other regulars, who all flock to the cozy dining room in Englewood; fans swear by chef/owner Noy Farrell's "flu shot soup" to ward of winter malaise. She and and her husband, Rick Farrell, have kept their menu fresh and modern by using produce from their garden and introducing new dishes gleaned from frequent trips to Thailand -- both the northern region, where Noy was born, and other culinary hotbeds in the country. But while the Farrells's dedication to good food is unwavering, the place where they serve it will soon change: The shopping center where Taste of Thailand is currently located is slated for demolition. So they've found a new spot at the corner of South Broadway and Evans Avenue, where they hope to have the restaurant up and running by late spring.
See also: Taste of Thailand Turns Twenty With Fresh Spirit and "Beautiful Fish"
"The plan was to open in April," explains Rick Farrell, but permitting delays with the city have pushed the date back. The new space will be significantly larger than the original; the restaurant will take up two currently vacant slots in the shopping center on the southeast corner of the intersection. "We'll finally have a real kitchen," he adds.
The demolition of the original Taste of Thailand site is scheduled for this fall, which means the Farrells won't have to close the Englewood location until the new spot is ready. That's good news if you can't go a week without your Tiger Cry lettuce wraps or whole crispy fish -- or feel like you might be coming down with the flu.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about industrial minerals. These important resources are found in thousands of products, and in many cases, there is simply no substitute for their valuable properties.
Although industrial minerals are prevalent in nearly all aspects of our lives in every country in the world, very little is normally known about the important roles they play to keep our society running. They are nearly invisible components within products from the simplest table plate to the most complicated medication.
The properties of industrial minerals are what make them so valuable. They are either used as a source of important elements, such as the Silica (Si) extracted from industrial sand, or they are used for their physical properties, such as the ability of bentonite to absorb water.
Industrial minerals are used in abrasives, absorbents, agricultural additives, ceramics, chemicals, drilling mud, electronics, filtration media, flame retardants, glass, paint, paper, metal castings, pigments and synthetic fibers, to name just a few.
Explore our website and lean more about the importance of industrial minerals and the products in which industrial minerals are found.

text: HBO's Sheila Nevins on a 'Jinx' Follow-Up, Netflix and Plans for a Black Lives Matter Film 10:55 AM PST 1/21/2016 by Tatiana Siegel FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Matt Furman The president of HBO Documentary Films, who has seven titles at Sundance, reveals the reason behind the current doc obsession and opens up about 'Going Clear's' Oscar snub. This story first appeared in the Jan. 29 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. To receive the magazine, click here to subscribe. Sheila Nevins' corner office on the 13th floor of HBO's midtown New York headquarters features a pair of large white leather couches, several matching chairs and sweeping city views. What's missing is the desk. "What would I do with a desk?" she asks. "If someone's behind a desk, it seems they have the answer or the paycheck. It's better when we can throw things back and forth." Nevins, who oversees documentaries for HBO, HBO2 and Cinemax, doesn't take notes either. The Yale School of Drama grad is more apt to whip out her phone midthought and play Akinator, an app version of 20 Questions, which she recently introduced to doc subject Gloria Vanderbilt. ("We had a great time guessing her famous lovers. It was hilarious.") But if her approach resembles an idiosyncratic therapist more than a top executive, there's no mistaking her track record. During her 30-year-plus tenure at the network, she has won more Primetime Emmys (31) than any individual and her HBO docs have won 25 Oscars, most recently for the Edward Snowden film Citizenfour. This year, her 11-employee division will have three competing for best documentary short (but her Scientology feature Going Clear didn't make the cut). As the doc field becomes more competitive, HBO is the rare network that originates and produces twice as many projects in-house as it acquires. The mother of an adult son lives on the Upper East Side with her husband of 40 years and her rescue dog Bogey. She talked to THR about her biggest Sundance slate ever (seven films, three in competition), why she commissioned a Black Lives Matter doc on the morning of Oscar noms, and why The Jinx and Making a Murderer have created a frenzy. At Sundance, you've got movies about ISIS, animal rights and Robert Mapplethorpe. Do you court controversy? I would say I embrace what's important today, and that would, by its very nature, be controversial. I'm interested in things that don't bore you. I think [our docs] are the things that maybe you dream about or that torment you. You've also got a Mike Nichols doc. Did you know him well? The only thing I knew about Mike was that occasionally he called here and said he liked a film that we had done. I thought it was someone kidding with me. Before he died, I went over to see him [on set], and we chatted for a while and I realized that he knew me. He liked me. I felt very privileged. But I didn't know he was going to die. I would have probably fallen on my knees had I known that. Becoming Mike Nichols was two films in a way. It was one film before he died, and then there was one film after he died. It's his last interview, so it's really interesting. Going Clear won three Emmys but didn't get an Oscar nom. Why? Remember, it's the doc group [voting on the nominees]. It's not the Academy. Had it been the whole Academy, it might have been different because it was so recognizable. Of course we were disappointed, but I can't think of anything that won a Primetime Emmy in a show category that then went on to win an Academy Award nomination. Nevins' record-setting 31 Primetime Emmys line a bookshelf in an adjacent screening room. The next closest individual Primetime Emmy winner is Edward J. Greene with 21 and James L. Brooks with 20. Scientologists visited your home. What's the oddest thing they did? Leave things in my mailbox. Hand them to the doorman. Solicitations to join. When there would be a meeting. I didn't know there was a Scientology center four or five blocks from my apartment. They just asked me to come and understand them. It was a little creepy. I felt bombarded but not threatened. ISIS, I'm a little bit worried. But I've had other threats. When we did Taxicab Confessions, it was really scary. [In an episode,] somebody gets in a cab and says to a driver who has a turban, "Hey towelhead, take me to 55th Street or whatever." It's what he said. I didn't say it. And so some sheikh — I don't know who it was — started to post terrifying things. "If you see this woman on the street, she's called us these names, throw acid in her face." That was scary. A photo in her office of a 1999 meeting with photojournalist-director Gordon Parks to discuss the making of a documentary about him. Which doc created the most potential legal problems for you? Maybe GasLand. Because we were taking on the oil companies. Every single speech and every single line had to be correctly placed in context if it was in any way edited. We don't make those kind of docs that much. We're not 60 Minutes. But it was a lesson. It was like going to law school. What are the plans for the follow-up to The Jinx? I don't think we know yet. The trial will be in August. [Robert] Durst is supposed to be extradited from New Orleans to Los Angeles, and we will follow the story. But August is far away. There's no place to go with it [before then]. With The Jinx and Netflix's Making a Murderer, there's a renewed interest in true crime. Showtime's David Nevins calls these series "premium documentary." Do you agree? Every doc is a premium event. Why are we calling this particular genre a "premium" event? God. I think every one of these is a baby just born and makes a lot of noise. Nevins used her own dog for the poster of the 2012 film One Nation Under Dog: "Look at Bogey. I mean, he's not touched up or anything. That's how he looks. That's a movie star." But why the obsessive interest now? Is it the serialization aspect? Binge-viewing? Ways to get away from your life by watching somebody murder somebody? OK, we're happy to do that. [But] just because something's hot doesn't mean it's new. If a skirt gets shorter, that doesn't mean it was never short before. We've been doing murder docs since we did Paradise Lost [about the West Memphis Three]. We did Pamela Smart. We did How Do You Spell Murder about illiteracy. We did Autopsy for five years, and those were all true crime. Turner's Kevin Reilly recently said that he wants to get into the doc space. Netflix is there. CNN, too. Does HBO spend more to stay competitive? I think not. I would think equal to, less and sometimes more, depending. We're all in the same game and all spending the same money. A cutout sculpture of a miniature theater playing Sunset Boulevard, starring Gloria Swanson. What will HBO's advantage be? Our team. Our passion. Our wanting to nudge the world. Our attempt to be as honest as we can. Our attempt to tell something that's true. Our desire not always to get numbers but to get converts. We are never asked to perform a popularity contest. We're more of the aura and the conscience. Did you hear the Making a Murderer pitch? Not that I remember. I'm not denying it. We're pitched everything. And there's a million very popular things I've turned down. But I don't remember it. When was the last time you read something and called a filmmaker and commissioned a film? The morning of the Oscar nominations. I noticed that all the [documentary] films that were up there, there was almost nothing about America, and my heart broke because I realized that documentary filmmakers are not looking in their own backyard. And if they are, they're not being recognized for it. The fact that there was no documentary about Black Lives Matter at a time when this is such a critical American issue … was unbelievable. I said to my colleague here, "Call [a director she declined to name in case a deal doesn't transpire]. See how much it would cost to do a big documentary about what's been happening in this country." You have to do it. What news programs do you watch? I watch MSNBC at the end of the morning. Sometimes I watch Gayle King because I like her. I turn off a lot of stories that upset me. The gang rape in Brooklyn the other day. I turn off Trump. Just because so many other people care about him … I can't watch. It makes me uncomfortable and unhappy. I haven't watched 60 Minutes in 15 years. I listen to NPR occasionally. I read everything on my iPad. Nevins doesn't recall where the monogrammed personalized Coke bottle came from — perhaps an awards dinner. But she notes that it adds a splash to her minimalist office. Budgets for scripted series are going way up. Are your budgets higher? No. And if you can get me more money, please do. Is there a budget line you won't cross? I would say $2 million is the top. The acquisition business has heated up quite a bit, and the competition has heated up, so there are more pleas to open the financial gates. At Sundance, you don't attend events other than your own. Why? I don't like to waste time. I don't like to small talk. I don't want to see pictures of your kids. I like to work. I like to do what matters.

Business Situation
EndoMune Advanced Probiotic came to esd needing to improve product sales and
Increase its visibility, which required a total brand makeover to stand toe-to-toe with well-known brands in the huge national health supplement market. Developing a new face for a brand in the crowded supplement arena dictated a number of tactics, including a redesigned logo and product labeling and a reorganized website, featuring easy-to-access information and a more robust shopping cart that better tracked customer and vendor orders and communicated with their existing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.
The major challenges esd identified were:
- Brand loyalty needed a major boost
- Online ordering for consumers was difficult
- Product information was hard for vendors, physicians, and consumers to access on EndoMune's website
After conducting extensive research, esd built a marketing plan to distinguish EndoMune from the competition. First, esd did a full-scale redesign and repositioning of the EndoMune logo and product packaging, highlighting the product's roots – its development by a board-certified gastroenterologist – and strong key health benefits to enhance product quality and loyalty.
esd gave the EndoMune website a similar facelift, using the same attractive design elements from its refreshed product packaging and reorganizing many pages of helpful information with reader friendly layouts. We reorganized website navigation to target key questions that EndoMune's distribution and customer audiences would have about the product. esd developed a content marketing strategy with a blog to raise awareness of probiotics. We drove traffic to the website via blog posts promoted on Facebook and Twitter. We also built a Health A-Z probiotic information encyclopedia as part of the website that described the many health conditions EndoMune could treat or eliminate so that customers could discover new reasons to try it.
Lastly, esd optimized the website's shopping cart, creating a more robust CRM system portal that recalled and tracked customer orders and sent them timed reminders, referral incentives and strategically timed deals. esd also developed a CRM system for handling vendor product requests quickly and simply. With the back-end done, esd could focus on its multimedia strategy and outreach including:
- Developing attractive in-store collateral pieces
- Placing ads in strategic online venues
- Redesigning the e-newsletter in format and content

Bedtime snacks go against everything we are taught in our nutrition classes. I have always known that eating after 8 p.m. will make me fat, so I avoid it. That all changes when you have diabetes, however. Bedtime snacks can become a critical component of managing blood sugar levels, particularly your fasting blood sugar. Although you would logically expect to have low numbers after eight hours of sleeping, some people with diabetes and gestational diabetes notice higher than expected fasting blood sugar numbers. This is due to what is known as The Dawn Phenomenon.
What is the Dawn Phenomenon?
The dawn phenomenon is a rise in blood sugar during the early morning hours, usually between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m. There are two theories as to why this occurs in some diabetics. One is that it is caused by our bodies naturally releasing certain growth hormones overnight that are linked to insulin resistance. This insulin resistance may be stronger in some people, which explains why some will experience the dawn phenomenon and not others. The second theory, which is where bedtime snacks come into play, is that the liver produces too much glucose after fasting too long. Our livers are designed to produce extra glucose to help us have the energy to wake up in the morning. In people with diabetes, the difference between the insulin and blood sugar produced is often unequal, resulting in higher fasting blood sugars.
To combat this phenomenon, a small snack that contains both carbs and protein can help give your body something to digest longer, keeping your blood sugar levels on an even keel. For gestational diabetes, some recommendations are as high as 45 grams of carbs in a bedtime snack. I have found this number to be much too high for me, but around 30 grams works well. Once I began having bedtime snacks, my fasting blood sugars dropped by about 10 points from an average of mid-90s to an acceptable mid-80s, and recently all the way down to mid-70s. For those of you with diabetes, those numbers may seem very low, but 90 is the highest recommended fasting blood sugar for gestational diabetes.
Other Causes for High Fasting Blood Sugar
Before you start eating bedtime snacks, be sure your high fasting blood sugar levels are not from other causes. If you are insulin-dependent, not taking enough insulin the night before can cause high numbers. Also, if you are already having a bedtime snack, you may be eating too many carbs. Try cutting down the carbs to see if that affects your readings at all.
How Many Carbs in a Bedtime Snack?
Recommendations vary on how many carbs you should have in a bedtime snack, with some sources going as low as 15 carbs and some as high as 45 grams of carbs. I try to aim for 30 carbs or less, always making sure there is a good source of protein to go along with those carbs. My bedtime snack is usually a sweet treat to double as my dessert, such as ice cream or yogurt. I cannot stress this enough – protein is a critical component of bedtime snacks for diabetes and gestational diabetes. The protein is glue that holds your carbs together and keeps you from getting a major blood sugar spike in the middle of the night.
Bedtime Snacks for Diabetics
In a report about diabetes bedtime snacks, Health Castle quotes a study by the Journal of Diabetes Care that suggests bedtime snacks for diabetics only if bedtime blood sugar levels are lower than 126. It also recommends not having a snack if your blood sugar is above 180. If your fasting blood sugars are too high, you may need to work out a snack suggestion with your doctor even if your bedtime readings are high. This is something a dietician would be best suited to answer.
Bedtime Snacks for Gestational Diabetes
If your fasting blood sugar numbers are staying above the recommended 90 mg/dl, try having a bedtime snack within an hour of going to bed. Our requirements are much more stringent than for those with diabetes, so be sure you closely monitor your blood sugar levels. It may help to check your blood sugar before snacking to be sure it is below 120. While it is not clear how much impact a high fasting blood sugar level will have on your baby, I can tell you this: after nearly losing my daughter following a 23 hour delivery because she was too big and not able to breathe, no sacrifice is too large when it comes to controlling gestational diabetes.

The Bombay High Court has asked the Union Commerce Ministry and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to take a stand on a plea of an American couple to take back their embryos, kept in a hospital lab here, after the Indian Government recently banned commercial surrogacy.
An embryo is an unborn offspring in the process of development.
A division bench of Justices Shantanu Kemkar and M S Karnik, hearing a petition filed by the American couple which wants to take back its embryos to USA, has served notices to both the respondents and asked them to spell out the policy of the Government on the issue on October 4.
During the hearing of the writ petition two days back, the bench asked the couple how they could file this petition because the Constitution of India gave such a right only to Indian citizens.
However, their counsel and senior lawyer Ashutosh Kumbhkoni, argued that article 21 of the Constitution gave such a right to every person, even to foreign national. This is because right to life includes right to have a baby and hence the couple has a right to file such a petition in HC.
The petition said that the couple had tried to have a baby for many years but failed. The doctors had advised them to undergo surrogacy. Accordingly, the American doctors, with the help of the couple's sperms and eggs, created the embryos and advised them to get a surrogate mother for the same.
The couple made eight embryos and sent them to India by a special courier (in a frozen state). All the embryos are currently lying in a hospital at Powai here. The couple had also obtained surrogacy visa and came to India by following the procedure.
In April 2015, the ICMR had given no objection certificate to the couple to import their frozen embryos from USA. Accordingly, they were sent to India.
Meanwhile, in November 2015, the Government of India announced a change in policy and banned surrogacy for foreign couples.
The couple then asked the hospital authorities to return their embryos but they refused to part with the embryos saying that import and export of embryos was banned in India as per the new policy rules.

Hotel-booking website pinpoints December as cheaper month to book in Breckenridge
According to a recent price analysis of popular Colorado ski destinations by a global hotel-booking website, December actually isn't too bad of a time to rent a room in Breckenridge.
HotelsCombined.com is an Australia-based, price-comparison platform that works much the same way Expedia.com or Hotels.com does. It compiles the rates for a number of lodging accommodations on its website and allows consumers to make purchases based on which hotel best suits their needs.
Using statistics from the 2016-17 ski season, HotelsCombined can now help snow bunnies get a better idea of what to expect for the 2017-18 ski season, and more important, show people where to save, said Georgia Smail, a company spokeswoman, via email.
According to Smail, HotelsCombined looked at hotels surrounding seven slopes in Colorado — Aspen, Breckenridge, Keystone, Steamboat Springs, Telluride, Vail and Winter Park — and crunched the numbers based on prices and demand throughout last year's ski season, defined as December through March.
What the company found, Smail said, is that Breckenridge stood out among its peers last winter with the highest average daily rate for hotel accommodations here coming in February, not December.
"Across the board, in all except two destinations — one of which being Breckenridge — December came out as the most expensive month for accommodation," Smail wrote, adding that it's not surprising, "given Christmas and New Year are peak travel times."
Story continues below chart.
In Breckenridge, last season's peak average price of $413 per room was in February, compared to $380 in December, $320 in January and $286 in March. Meanwhile, the average cost of a hotel room in Breckenridge last December was almost $200 cheaper per night than it was in Vail.
Like Breckenridge, Telluride was unique with its peak prices coming in February. However, rooms in Breckenridge were on average $75 cheaper than they were in Telluride throughout that month.
For those to whom money is no issue, Vail consistently posted the highest hotel rates out of any of the seven slopes included in the study, led by the average daily of $572, of course, in December.
Telluride was a distant second at $417 a night that same month, and Aspen had the third highest average rate at $340. Comparing only Telluride and Aspen, Telluride recorded higher average hotel prices every month included in the survey, except March.
Like most others, Keystone also posted its highest average hotel price of last year in December, but lodging at the family-friendly ski resort was still considerably cheaper at $324 per night than it was in Aspen, Breckenridge and Vail through the Christmastime month.
Overall, Winter Park consistently had the lowest rates for rooms, ranging from a high of $225 last December down to $181 in February, out of the seven slopes included in the price comparison.
Also, March was tagged as the best time to book hotels across Colorado's ski country, with four of the seven slopes included in the analysis posting their lowest rates of the four-month time period in March.
In terms of demand for just the hotels in Breckenridge, Smail tagged Beaver Run Resort as No. 1 and produced figures from December 2016 through March that showed overall demand for hotels in Breckenridge was up 96 percent compared to the same months in 2015-16.
Breaking that down even further, last December was up a whopping 278 percent and March was up 102 percent, while January (10 percent) and February (38 percent) saw more modest gains.
Founded in Sydney, Australia, in 2005, HotelsCombined is one of the world's leading hotel price comparison platforms, reportedly helping more than 400 million travelers search and compare hotel deals in 130 currencies and more than 42 languages, according to the company.
HotelsCombined's analysis comes on the heels of a report by Mountain Destinations showing record growth in resorts' lodging industry throughout the summer.
Mountain Destinations tracks lodging performance in resort communities across multiple western states, and according to the market-research firm, revenue was up "a very healthy" 7 percent while occupancy eked out a scant 0.1 percent increase over the summer of 2016.
Furthermore, that trend is only expected to continue.
"Even though summer occupancy was up only slightly, the strength of the consumer marketplace is apparent in strong rate increases that led to another summer revenue record," said Tom Foley, vice president of Business Intelligence for Inntopia, which is managed by Mountain Destinations. "This trend of flat occupancy along with increasing daily rates started showing up last winter and persisted throughout the summer and is now evident in the winter data for November through April arrivals."

LaFORLAB Blackhead Vacuum Cleaner 3 Step Care Review:
Once I got Red Spot Repair Cream as a free product from this brand, and then I liked it so much I bought it again. And I bought two more products with it. This was one of the other two products I bought! I'm not crazy about pore strips but for some reason I keep using them.
LaFORLAB specializes in sensitive skins so I thought this product would not work but that at least it wouldn't harm my skin. Right? Wrong! It did not harm my skin, as I expected, but it did have some results. So I'm happy to talk about it!

Houses vs. Apartments
You have made the decision to rent a home, now comes the tricky part. What type of accommodations best suits your lifestyle? Should I rent a house or an apartment?
Things to consider when making that decision are the number of people living in the home, do you have pets, will you need to store seasonal recreational vehicles, and do you own more than one vehicle.
Budget is also a big consideration when deciding what to rent. Renting an apartment in most cases means you will need to budget for the base rent along with power. When renting a single family home you pay for your base rent plus full utilities. (power, water and heat) Paying full utilities will increase your monthly payment each month so you need to calculate that into your budget.
Pets are another big thing to consider when renting. Most companies are pet friendly with a pet deposit or a monthly pet fee. The private market varies with the acceptance of pets and are willing to consider the possibility of having a pet in the home. Larger management companies usually do not negotiate with pet policies as they have to be consistent and fair with all tenants.
Yellowknife winter's are cold and single family homes need daily care in the winter months so if you find you travel a lot and your home will be empty then maybe apartment living is better suited for you. One common issue that arises in single family homes are freeze ups in the winter months. This can be quite costly and most landlords include a vacancy clause in the lease to protect themselves from costly repairs that result in homes being left unattended.
Parking can be really difficult anywhere in the City. Most apartments come with one powered parking stall. Single family homes sometimes offer multiple parking places and sometimes a garage. If you are the family that has sleds for in the winter months and boats and campers for the summer then an apartment may not suits your needs.

The Global Revenue Cycle Management Software Market Will Grow At 14.44% CAGR To 2023
The Business Research Company's Global Revenue Cycle Management Software Market Report 2020-30: Covid 19 Growth And Change
LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UK, September 16, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global revenue cycle management software market2 size is expected to decline from $64.26 billion in 2019 to $63.39 billion in 2020 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.35%. The decline is mainly due to the COVID-19 outbreak that has led to patients' preference for deferred care in order to avoid visiting hospitals, which resulted in reduced patient volume. Elective procedures have been canceled increasing the financial stress of healthcare service providers, thereby affecting the revenue cycle management (RCM) software market.3 The revenue cycle management software market size is then expected to recover and reach $95.02 billion in 2023 at a CAGR of 14.44%.
The rise in the number of hospital and outpatient visits is expected to drive the revenue cycle management market. Surging healthcare expenditure from an increase in patient visits to the hospital urges the service providers to provide hassle-free services during payment and keep a record of patients' payments.
According to the National Health Expenditure Projections 2018-2027, the USA national healthcare expenditure is expected to reach nearly $6.0 trillion by 2027, growing at an average rate of 5.5% annually, during the period. The increase in the number of patient visits impels the healthcare service providers to adopt revenue cycle management software in healthcare facilities that will provide faster and more accurate claims transmission, allowing flexibility in arranging patient care.
Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) in revenue cycle management software is shaping the global healthcare revenue cycle management market. Major healthcare analytics leaders are actively implementing or planning to execute an AI strategy that will help make decisions faster and reduce operational expenses.
For instance, in April 2019, VisiQuate, Inc., a leader in healthcare business analytics, announced a formal partnership with Etyon Health to integrate the business analytics platform and deep machine-learning algorithms to improve performance continuously through enhanced operational insights and automate the claim decisions based on complex data science. Etyon Health is a developer of AI-driven RCM solutions.
The revenue cycle management software market consists of sales of revenue cycle management software services by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that provide revenue cycle management, which is the financial process, utilizing medical billing software, that healthcare facilities use to track patient care episodes from registration and appointment scheduling to the final payment of a balance.
The global revenue cycle management software market is segmented by product into integrated and standalone. By function, the market is segmented into claim and denial, medical billing and coding, patient insurance eligibility check, payment remittance, Electronic Health Record (EHR), Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI), and others. By deployment, it is segmented into web based, on premise, and cloud based.

- Format: PSVR (version reviewed), PC VR formats
- Unleashed: Out Now
- Publisher: FoxNext VR Studio
- Developer: Imaginati
- Players: 1
- Site: http://www.apesvr.com/
- Game code provided by PR
There's one very important thing you need to know about this game, and that thing is this thing:
This message should be prominent, in huge letters, on each listing of every storefront that carries the game. It is by far the most demanding VR game we have played so far in terms of the distance and space required in order for the game to work properly. It's possible to play with less arm room, and closer to the camera, but it's a real struggle.
We'll return to these issues but, for now, let's look at the general setup. This tells a unique tale within the Planet Of The Apes universe, but don't expect an epic story. The premise, basically, is that you play as an ape who escapes imprisonment, and then fights its way through buildings and across rooftops to freedom. Yup, you play as an ape; seeing your big hairy hands on-screen for the first time is simultaneously impressive and amusing.
To the developers' credit, controls and gameplay have been very specifically designed around the fact that you're playing as an ape rather than a boring human. You must have two Move controllers if playing on PSVR, each controller controlling one hand. Movement is from beginning to end on a strictly delineated path, but it's not automatic. You move forward in a vague imitation of an ape's movement, alternately moving your hands up and down or in a sort of circular motion as though doing a dad dance. This is sure to elicit peals of mocking laughter from anybody else in the room.
Equally hilarious to watch, but a very interesting idea, is the implementation of climbing. You'll regularly make use of pipes and brickwork to haul yourself up and across walls and ceilings. Anything grabbable is highlighted with a blue grid overlay when you get close. It might sound like this would break the immersion, but it's extremely useful in terms of showing what you're allowed to grab, and which direction you should be going in. Reach for a handhold, grab onto it by holding down a button, use your other hand to grab the next handhold, grasp that one, let go of the last, and so on; traversing hand over hand in this way, lifting yourself up and across, (sort of) like real life. At times, this is actually fairly demanding physically. Mainly when traversing an overhead pipe or cable, keeping your arms stretched above you as you pass one hand in front of the other.
Your surroundings are crawling with humans, so there's combat. Once – and, sadly, only once – you bunch one of your hands into a fist and punch a bloke's lights out. Yes, it's satisfying and extremely funny. The rest of the time, you'll be taking cover and shooting guns. Holding your weapon in one hand, you'll use the other to grab your piece of cover and pull yourself above or around it to shoot, quickly pulling yourself back when bullets start flying your way. There are flashes of brilliance where you see the game that the developers wanted to make, and most of these moments are during combat.
The game regularly trips over itself in technical terms, to the extent that it never manages to reach its potential. Weapons never feel entirely comfortable in your hands, but we'll generously put that down to the fact that apes are never going to be quite so adept at handling assault rifles and shotguns as humans. The screen occasionally shakes a little as you scale walls, but never ruinously. The killer problems are much bigger.
We can not overstate just how much you'll need to fight the game if the room you're playing in is smaller than the average barn. Even if you're in the tiny minority with a huge empty space just for playing videogames, troubles await you. Sometimes, this is down to the fact that you have pretty much no freedom of movement. If you fall while climbing, often, you'll simply be kicked back to the last checkpoint. Sometimes though, you'll fall to the ground, out of reach of the nearest handhold. Your only option then is to quit to the main menu and go back into the game, leaving you at the mercy of the inconsistent checkpointing; presuming, that is, that your progress has been saved at all (which does not always happen).
Pull yourself up or forward too enthusiastically, and you might find yourself in the middle of the scenery, causing all sorts of visibility and environment interaction problems. Potentially fatal, as are the flaws with the weapons system. You holster your weapon by swinging your weapon hand over your shoulder and releasing the grab button (which works fine), and equip your weapon by "pulling" it out of the holster behind you (which does not always work fine). Sometimes, it takes several attempts for the game to realise that you're trying to equip your weapon, by which time you might be dead. In addition, using a gun means keeping the grab button held down constantly, in addition to pressing the trigger button to fire it. Accidentally release the grab button, or let up on its pressure a little too much, and you drop the gun. You're most likely to accidentally do this when moving from cover to cover during a fight; the lack of free movement means that the only way to get your gun back is usually to let yourself die, or quit and restart.
At time of writing, PS4 trophy statistics indicate that less than 20% of players have finished the game; despite the fact that it's possible to finish in less time than it takes to watch the latest movie. Given the technical failings, this isn't very surprising. It's a great, impressive experience trapped in some tight and unbreakably thick bonds of frustration.

Since there have been quite a few new blog visitors and new Google Reader… readers lately, I thought I would do a little "Best of" post. ("Best" being wildly subjective.)
I have the world's cutest niece.
I wrote a Facebook Love Story.
I like short stories.
You can bribe ex girlfriends to write nice things about you.
I had some pretty strong feelings about mittens.
I took a serious look at relationships.
I kinda like this word doodle.
This one too.
This dude should have been wearing mittens.
I have a big noggin.
A word doodle based on a random pic.
Hmmm. I see a trend developing.
A bit of a sad(dish) word doodle.
I like your bum. (I really do.)


text: Jaxartes 7 Report post Posted January 4, 2016 While experimenting with the example "ZPUino_VGA_Adapter/Demo" in DesignLab 1.0.7 I've run into a couple of problems. I've attached a copy of the sketch, with my modifications to variously make the problems better or worse. I was running on Papilio Pro, with Arcade MegaWing, with 800x600 graphics selected. Code: video_sketch_2.ino.txt 1. The microsecond time values that are transmitted on the serial port, are sometimes very wrong. The wrong values are ones like 4254601156 -- a little under 2^32. The cause: TIMERTSC wraps around every 40 seconds or so, so so does the result of micros() based on it. Now, subtracting one "unsigned long" from another, when the wraparound occurs, wouldn't be a problem. But dividing by 96 or whatever clocksPerMicrosecond is, and then subtracting, results in this problem. I see that some fix was put in for millis() but none for micros(). Workaround: A microsecond-granularity "stopwatch", functions stw*(). But they wouldn't be portable to non-ZPUino platforms, and they assume everyone wants microseconds. 2. With the workaround for #1, a new bug popped out: There's a crash happening in testFilledRects() and testFilledRoundRects(). It either hangs the sketch or restarts it. This problem turns out to have nothing to do with #1, it's just one of those "heisenbugs" which disappear and reappear when you change the code or try to debug them. The cause: The loops in those two tests will sometimes pass out-of-range (namely negative) values to gfx.fillRect() and gfx.fillRoundRect(); and when those functions try to draw to off-screen addresses they probably overwrite some important memory location. It's a matter of opinion whether the bug is in the sketch, for passing illegal values to those functions; or in those functions, for accepting illegal values. Workaround/fix: Changing the loops to avoid out-of-range values. Problem #2 only appeared with those two functions, that I could see; it might apply to others but be harder to reproduce.

Jessica's Daily Affirmation Has The World Feeling Good
Jessica can do anything good. She likes her school, she likes her dad, she likes her cousins, she likes her sister, she likes her haircuts, she likes her pajamas, she likes her stuff and she likes her whole house. She can do anything good, better than anyone and her enthusiasm is contagious. With over 1.5 million views, the YouTube clip of 4-year old Jessica spouting out her daily affirmation in front of the bathroom mirror has us all smiling and feeling great.
Over the last couple of weeks, 'Jessica's Daily Affirmation' has blown up 'David After Dentist' style, proving once again that nothing has the viral Midas touch like videos of kids being kids. The video wasn't an instant hit, but it recently took off, spreading like wildfire this month. It was uploaded last June, and after nearly a year Jessica is on her way to becoming the next big YouTube child star.
Cole Stryker of Urlesque interviewed Jessica, now twelve years old, about the success of her Daily Affirmation clip. Jessica says, "My dad created a YouTube account last June, and he was just uploading a lot of family videos because he wanted to share them with my mom's family in England and my dad's family in Cuba." Jessica says that she knew the videos were online, but it was not until about week ago that the video started to take off.
'Jessica's Daily Affirmation' has been receiving blog coverage up the wazoo this week and making its way around Facebook, Twitter and the rest of the social web. Since the video took off, Jessica has been contacted by all sorts of press including the CBS Early Show, Good Morning America and friends and classmates she hardly talks to. She seems to be handling her newfound fame and glory quite well.
These days, more and more home videos are going viral. How do you feel about this YouTube phenomenon?

Parents of Oregon child who died after often-reprimanded doctor performed surgery settle suit
Parents of Oregon boy settle in surgery lawsuit
PORTLAND, Ore. — The parents of a 3-year-old boy who died after an Oregon doctor operated on him have agreed to settle a wrongful death lawsuit for $200,000.
The parents of Ian McClellan contended Dr. Jayant Patel perforated the boy's bowel while attempting to place a feeding tube inside of him on Feb. 5, 1999.
They argued that Patel — now facing manslaughter charges in Australia in the deaths of three patients there — opened the boy up again the next day and found the perforation. The boy died a painful death by septic shock eight days later, the suit filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court said.
Patel was working for Kaiser Permanente in Portland from 1989 to 2001, but performed the surgeries on the boy at another hospital in the city — OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. The boy's parents, Ana Maria and Matthew McClellan, originally sought $1.55 million in their suit against all three.
A confidentiality agreement prevents any comment on the settlement, said the family's lawyer, Robert Beatty-Walters. A judge was scheduled to consider the settlement Thursday.
It's unclear from court records what portion of the $200,000 will by paid by Patel and the two hospitals.
The McClellans said they didn't learn the reason for their son's death until after April 15, 2005, when The Oregonian newspaper published the first of a series of articles about growing concern over Patel's work in the United States and abroad.
The boy's parents contended that Patel and the hospitals misled the McClellans by saying their son had developed a postoperative infection of unknown origin.
Patel has been reprimanded by medical boards in New York and Oregon. He was sued repeatedly for malpractice in Oregon before his license was suspended and he moved to a remote area of Australia to continue working as a surgeon.

There's nothing quite like a real Christmas tree. The smell that greets you every time you pass near the tree evokes fond festive memories. If you're opting for a natural tree this year, one thing you'll need to spend some thought on is how you are going to keep your tree well maintained.
What you don't want is to reach Christmas Day only to find your tree has shed all its needles and looks ready for the recycling depot.
How to Maintain Your Christmas Tree
To help, we've been searching the web for all the best Christmas tree maintenance tips from around the world. With a little love and care, your tree should last well into the new year.
Buying and Putting Up Your Tree
According to the team at the Christmas Tree Farm at Chesham, you need to buy from a reputable supplier – the more freshly cut your tree is, the better it will keep its condition and the longer it will last.
Before you buy, check the tree out properly and don't be afraid to give it a good shake. If the needles start falling off there and then, don't take it.
Prior to putting it up and decorating, you should saw an inch off the base of your tree and then place it in water, not soil to give it a good feed. This helps keep your tree fresh. You'll find that you'll have to top up the water level every day as pines can consume up to 2 or 3 pints in a 24 hour period. Trees can quickly dry out if not looked after properly.
If you've bought a smaller tree in a pot, then treat it like a normal house plant and water once the soil starts to dry out.
Keep it Cool
You should place your tree in a reasonably cool spot, away from appliances such as heaters, and not in direct sunlight. This will depend on where you normally put your Christmas tree but positioning away from the window is certainly a good idea. For those with underfloor heating in a room, consider moving to another location as the constant low heat can reduce the 'shelf-life' of your tree quite dramatically.
Decorating Your Christmas Tree
With heat being such a problem, the key issue when decorating your tree is going to be the lights. Opting for LED is the best option as these don't actually give off any heat. They also last a lot longer and will consume less electricity. When adding baubles, put the heavier decorations on the thinker branches and take a little extra care not to dislodge too many needles when doing this.
Recycling Your Christmas Tree
Real Christmas trees can easily be recycled. If you are watering it properly, a good tree should last at least four weeks but once the needles start to fall, you may well want to move it outside. If you have a wood burner, you can cut up the tree and use it for this purpose – a lot better than sending the tree to landfill. According to the Metro, if you have bought your tree in a pot, you can also try to replant it in the garden once the festivities are over.
We hope you have found these tips real Christmas tree tips useful, however you choose to celebrate this time of year, we wish you a family filled fun time and a tree that lasts into the new year!

Internship report from Apprentice Jennifer Williamson
Internship report from Jennifer Williamson
In February this year, I attended the WCSIM Education Trust Supper and was really interested in the talk given by the Principal Supper Guest and Speaker, Simon Buckle (Head of the Climate, Biodiversity and Water Division at the OECD). He was giving his perspective on the Paris Agreement in strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change and discussing the role that scientists and engineers have to play in tackling the challenges.
I'm currently studying Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial College London, but recently I realised that my true passion is for Sustainable Engineering. Ken Sanders, current Master of WCSIM, introduced me to Simon after the talk. Simon was really lovely, and suggested I chat to one of his old colleagues, Nilay, a professor at Imperial College London. I did this and a few months later Nilay had helped me to land a 6-week paid summer internship at Sainsbury's.
For the internship I wrote a report on "Engineering Strategy and the Path to Zero Carbon". The aim of the report was to develop a tailored high-level strategy to form the basis of Sainsbury's 30 year path to zero carbon strategy. I enjoyed the project so much and I now know that it's definitely the area I'd like to go into when I graduate! I also wrote an article on LinkedIn about my internship ( https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sustainable-engineering-where-you-might-expect-jennifer-williamson/ ).
The report is in two parts; the first part summarises current UK industry views on the path to zero carbon, and the second part analyses Sainsbury's data to develop a strategy for them. The second part is confidential, but I'm hoping to publish the first part on LinkedIn. I made sure to include Ken, Simon and WCSIM in the acknowledgements:
"I would firstly like to thank Kenneth Sanders and the Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers (WCSIM), Simon Buckle of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation Development (OECD) and Nilay Shah of Imperial College London for leading me to this internship and project at Sainsbury's."
My LinkedIn article was shared by both the Sainsbury's and Argos accounts and by my boss (the Senior Engineering Manager at Sainsbury's), which helped me to gain so many contacts within the industry! I've already been offered a placement for when I graduate (although I still plan on applying for other graduate jobs for breadth of opportunity). Last year I was rejected by so many Sustainable Engineering internships, I presume because of my degree, and now I've already been offered one!
I am so thankful to WCSIM for helping me to achieve my dream career goals in this way.

StubHub's Amusing New Ads Feature Ticket Buyers and Their Insane Mini-Me's
Letting their fan out at the wrong time
Your inner sports fan is a maniac in body paint, a fright wig and tear-away pants. He's a little extreme, sure, but it's OK to let him come out and play, according to a new ad campaign from StubHub.
The ticketing agency, having just gone through a brand overhaul and logo redesign, kicks off its most significant media buy in several years tonight on ESPN's Monday Night Football, says company spokeswoman Alison Salcedo. The new commercials and related marketing are intended to let potential customers know that StubHub is beefing up its services—there's a new partnership with Uber, for instance, and fan alerts about favorite teams and bands—and trying to create a more holistic process.
"People are buying more than just a ticket," Salcedo said, "they're buying an experience."
Because being a sports or music superfan can be emotional, the creative from Duncan/Channon in San Francisco lets those freak flags fly, in the form of mini-doppelgängers. Never mind the bus full of people or the meeting packed with co-workers—the characters in the ads can't control their mini-me public displays of fandom. Hint: It involves Daisy Dukes for a country music gal.
The ads will air on broadcast and cable through the fall, and StubHub plans an online-only video in October, along with digital, social, radio and other outreach. The "Let your fan out" campaign takes the place of the beloved-in-sports-circles Ticket Oak, which had been a StubHub mascot for several years, and attempts to broaden the company's audience and make it more mainstream.

BE, Environmental EngineeringWhen Jan Dominik Stepinski entered City College as a freshman, he had many interests but didn't know what to focus on. With help from his professors and advisors, he successfully combined those diverse interests into one interdisciplinary pursuit. The Brooklyn-bred son of Polish immigrants is the Class of 2013 valedictorian. He will graduate from Macaulay Honors College with a 3.96 GPA, a BE in environmental
engineering and minors in economics and mathematics.
"CCNY helped coalesce my interests in biology, economics and mathematics," he said. "By taking different classes in different fields with brilliant professors, it's all come together and put me on a path to a career I will relish."
Next fall, Jan will begin graduate studies in applied mathematics at Stanford University, supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. It's the next step on his path to an environmental engineering career.
"I'm a nature lover whose mission, hopefully, will be to help people discern nature more clearly and facilitate conversations between politicians, businessmen and environmentalists in order to safeguard our world," he said, regarding his career plans.
His other honors include CCNY's Belden Medal for Advanced Calculus, the Post Scholarship from the Society of American Military Engineers and the Peggy Cornell Benline Scholarship from the Municipal Engineers of the City of New York, all in 2012. In addition, he was a finalist in the 2011 and 2012 CUNY Math Challenge and a regional finalist in the 2010 "Fed Challenge," sponsored by the Federal Reserve.
