Have you had enough of preparing enormous amounts of food for entertaining? We all know how drained a party celebration can leave anyone, especially those hosting it or in charge of the kitchen. It's one thing to love preparing homemade meals for your family, without having to impress anyone with flamboyant decorations and exotic tastes; but cooking for a large number of people, and making sure everything is ready before they arrive, is a very different story.
Since December is big on social events for most people, and certainly for Latinos who give much greater importance to Christmas than to Thanksgiving, I decided to help out a bit with a cool and delicious idea. If you're running out of creativity for finger food or appetizers made for home entertaining and parties, and want to do something fun and out of the ordinary this year, how about trying some Japanese creations? Your guests will probably appreciate the surprise, and the fact that at least one of the courses on the menu is low on fat and very healthy in general.
To make these easy sushi squares you can use only rice and salmon if you prefer, or add as many fresh vegetables as you like, turning something simple into a rainbow of colors and textures. For example, I used radishes and avocados along with the rice and salmon in the original preparation. But for the leftovers, I quickly fried the salmon, put it back in its place, and then covered it with extra layers of thinly-sliced carrots, and mixed greens. It was a completely different experience, but equally enjoyable, and certainly a better option for those who shy away from eating raw fish.
As any itamae in the world would tell you, the key for good sushi lies in the freshness of the ingredients, and in the proper preparation of the rice. The correct method goes like this: You need to get the special glutinous sushi rice, wash 2 cups of it 3 times in plenty of water (this is to get rid of any excess starch), and then cook it in 3 cups of water, without salt, for 17 minutes. When ready, turn the heat off, let cool a little, and season with the special rice vinegar preparation. This vinegar preparation can be made while the rice is cooking, by bringing 1/2 a cup of Nakano All-Natural Rice Vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil, and then letting this cool to room temperature. Once the rice and vinegar are mixed together (a wooden spoon is best for this job), you must put it in a large dish or container where you can spread out the rice in a very thin layer. With the help of a fan (or magazine), air it until it's cool. Yes, this may sounds like too much work, but that's because we're used to cooking without putting much effort into anything. Let's face it folks: traditional methods sometimes work better than machines.
Happy entertaining!
Easy Sushi Squares

RUTGERS 71, DePAUL 62
Rutgers trailed by 11 at the half — the same margin DePaul led them by in Chicago — but rallied to complete the sweep of the home-and-home.
Hamady N'Diaye blocked five shots to bring him within nine of Roy Hinson's career record and 11 of Hinson's single-season record. He has at least three games left.
DePaul's Will Walker suffered one of his worst games, scoring just eight points on 3-of-14 shooting and committing five turnovers.
Junior commit Andrew "Red" Nicholas broke his school's career scoring record last night — he had 34 points (9-14 from field; 13-14 from line). He now has 1,681 points in his career.
On what was said at halftime: "I told them to make up their minds on whether they wanted to let this team here come in and take this away from them." …continue reading

Concours 2016-2017
Severe infection is one of the main causes of disease in hospitalized children and can be deadly. The emergence of drug resistance among bacteria limits the physician's ability to treat these infections, especially with the lack of novel antibiotics approved for children. To overcome this challenge, there is a need to reassess treatment strategies. Alternative strategies may consist in modifying dosing regimen of existing antibiotics such as prolonging the time during which the drug is infused (piperacillin-tazobactam infused over 4 hours instead of 30 min). It may also include the use of novel drugs such as linezolid. These alternative treatment strategies cannot be directly extrapolated from adults to children because young children clear drugs from their bodies at a different rate compared with adults.
Objectif # 1: Determine the rate at which children clear piperacillin-tazobactam from their body, and establish how many of those children achieve appropriate concentrations
We will conduct a study in which children from 2 months to 6 years of age, with suspected or confirmed infection, will be administered piperacillin-tazobactam. For each child, we will collect 4 blood samples to describe how the drug is eliminated from the body. We will then calculate how many children enrolled in this study achieve appropriate drug concentrations for different levels of antibiotic resistance.
Objectif #2: Determine the relationship between linezolid side effects and drug concentrations in the blood of young infants
We will retrospectively analyze data of young infants less than 4 months of age, who received linezolid per standard of care. We will then determine if decreased platelet levels which is linezolid's main side effect is related to the level of drug in the infants' blood.
These projects will provide effective and safe dosing recommendations for two antibiotics used in children infected with drug-resistant bacteria.

Looking For Useful Interior Design Tips For Your Home? Try These Ideas!
You might be under the impression that you must possess a lot of skill to do interior design. You may be surprised at the amount of help that the Internet and simple magazines can provide for you. The article below has the information that you need to get started.
Consider what you're going to use the room for before you decorate it. For example, if you are designing a child's room, you might consider bright and lively hues to inspire creativity or to match the child's personality. However, those hues would not be good choices for a study or library, for example.
Consider your style when you design rooms. Of course, you likely want to please others as well, but you are the one that will live in that space. Regardless of what others may think, do what makes you happy. The good thing is, if your tastes change, so can the decor.
You need to stay realistic when redecorating your home. Although you do want to be slightly daring, don't get too crazy if you are working on something that will be in your home for a long time. If you are going to put your home up for sale in the near future, then having crazy decor could prevent potential buyers from purchasing your home. If you simply cannot stop yourself from putting your stamp on the property, be sure that your decor is simple to remove.
Be open to painting options that do not only use solid colors. The Internet is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to this topic. Adding an extra special touch while painting can give your space just the extra edge that it needs to stand out from the crowd.
Make changes to you area by adding accents. Update your fans, lighting and accents. Add some new curtains or tea towels. These little things will have your home looking fresh and new.
You should try painting your ceiling white if you are trying to create the illusion of space. It is a specially formulated high-gloss paint that will reflect light better than wall paint. The paint will result in much more light in whatever room you use it in.
Good planning is especially important in a smaller living room. Find out how to make the most out of the space you have. A great space saver is to find multipurpose furniture that is adequately sized to fit in your room. Then, adding good lighting can make the tiny room feel much bigger.
Those with children should use slip covers in their room designs. Using slip covers makes for a great way to spice up your furniture while also keeping it nice from the wear and tear of kids and pets. Think about changing the patterns you use for each season.
Hopefully, you learned a lot about interior design from this article. It is not as hard as it seems but with the right ideas you can do anything! Design something unique for your family instead of settling for something ordinary.…

We brought her to Rachel so she could get the support she needed as the siblings of someone who has special needs. We also learned, through coming in a few times ourselves, that our daughter had her own special needs because of this that we could learn to respond to and take better care of.
I'm a doctor, and Rachel has helped me learn how to handle some of the stress and sadness that sometimes comes with my job. I go to her to get advice, but also just to unload a lot of the stories that keep me up at night. It's a great relief. I'm also a tough patient. If she didn't know what she was talking about, I wouldn't waste my time going to see her.
My sister recommended that I make an appointment with Rachel. I was reluctant at first. I thought I should see a male therapist because I wanted to talk about some, shall we say, bedroom issues, but I actually found myself feeling really comfortable with Rachel. She didn't even raise an eyebrow. She's heard it all before, and she just wanted to help. She helped quite a bit.
Being raised in an emotionally distant home meant that I didn't know how to ask for what I needed emotionally from my husband, and saw that I hadn't developed a lot of closeness and warmth with my children. As I reached my 40's, I thought it was possibly too late to turn things around. I also wasn't interested in dredging up my entire past so I could get the help I needed now. Rachel developed a short-term plan with me that felt right and very practical. I learned more about what I deserved in my relationships, got the strength to ask for it, and found the words to use.
I am a pastor, and people in the community come to me on a regular basis to discuss problems they are having. When the situation seems like it requires more than I can offer through pastoral counseling, I refer them to Rachel. I have been referring people to Rachel for over 10 years now.
I'm 16, and out to all my friends, but not to my family, and I was tired of being scared to tell them I was gay. While the world is getting progressively more…progressive, this wasn't going to be happening anytime soon with my parents. Rachel called them in so we could all meet together and talk about it. I was terrified, but it was like watching her defuse a bomb. They stayed pretty calm, and we all got to talk about what we were honestly feeling. We met a few more times all together, and while it wasn't always easy, that's all we needed to get to a better and more open place with each other.v
I started seeing Rachel for my anxiety. I was so unhappy because I stopped doing the things I used to like to do. Rachel taught me how to deal with my anxiety and how to lower some of it. She has a reassuring voice, so sometimes I try to talk to myself the way she talks to me, and it helps. She is also not one of those professionally distant and patronizing therapists who talks down to you. She makes a connection, and she even smiles and laughs. My other therapists seemed more tense than I was!
I was raised in a cult, as bizarre as that sounds, and didn't think there was anybody who could help me now that I had left. It was like being raised on another planet, and after seeing three therapists who just thought I was nuts and was making it all up, I found Rachel. She understood the craziness I had gone through, knew about the cult I was in, and had helped other former members who had left it. It's gonna be a long road to recovery, but I couldn't have started it without finding a therapist who knew about this and understood what I was talking about. Meeting other former cult members in Rachel's support group was awesome, because it reminded I was not the only one dealing with this out there!
Matthew Remski
Hey dear friends, here's a big plug for an extraordinary podcast from Rachel Bernstein, called "IndoctriNation". Each episode features a brilliant interview with a cult survivor about their recruitment, dependence, dread of leaving, and — most importantly — their recovery.
Bernstein is a Marriage and Family Therapist, and her interviewing is welcoming and expansive. This podcast has been extremely healing for me to listen to, because the format is so personable, while too often cult analysis resources feel either highly technical or almost alarmist.
I especially appreciate that at the end of every interview Bernstein does a short and digestible educational piece that summarizes a chunk of theory or collates a number of takeaways that have helped her clients. I'm totally on board with her argument that studying undue influence is public health necessity. Highly, highly recommended. Thank you so much, Rachel.

Survival Game – The Lone Dark
I've never played survival games before: the ones that sort of took over Steam Early Access and got popular with streamers like Rust, DayZ, 7 Days To Die, Ark: Survival Evolved, or The Forest. I've never even played Minecraft for any significant amount of time. Right before the recent Steam Summer sale ran out I saw The Long Dark for $7 and decided to give that a shot since it seems to be the most highly praised one.
After a few hours and a couple lengthy attempts to survive in its sandbox, what I see here is a pretty well-formulated simulation game, even if it isn't entirely my kind of thing. Though I am now wondering if other survival games might have a flow that is more my kind of thing.
Part of the reason I dipped in is because I was wondering if Long Dark might end up being another of the simulation games I've come to enjoy playing on and off in-between everything else I play. I've gotten into a pattern of spending bits of time with games like ArmA, Elite: Dangerous, and Space Engine because of the way the systems of each game continually react to each other in new ways. I guess you could call it "emergent gameplay," but in these cases I find the emergent element to have more longevity than the games for which Ubisoft might use that term as a marketing tool. Long Dark indeed seems to have the potential for this.
Firstly, as expected, Long Dark goes for a nice immersive simulation feel in how it leverages its first person perspective and its adventure elements. It really demands that players look at its world and investigate it the way a person would were it real, and its environments are built up to look as if they functioned at one time. Whenever the story mode developer Hinterland Studio Inc. has planned hits, I imagine it probably being a first person adventure game with heavier survival elements than most others.
But, I'm also glad Hinterland set aside a separate "sandbox" mode where players can just engage in the world and its systems without the burden of a story, whether or not the developer did so due to the necessities of open alpha development. Ever since I saw mods for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. offer this I wondered why other open-world games couldn't do it. The equivalent for a popular game I guess would be something like how you can play Grand Theft Auto Online alone and do nothing but go crazy in the open world with your own character instead of one of the story characters. I think I did a blog here once wondering why games did't do this, like Elder Scrolls where a chunk of players don't care about the main story anyway. In the context of Long Dark though it's just part of the emerging trend of open-world survival-esque games that ask players to do nothing but exist in their worlds without pre-defined goals. ArmA, Elite: Dangerous, and Space Engine all allow this. It only makes sense for a game to have a mode letting you do this apart from a separate mode guided by a story, instead of forcing the two to coexist like Bethesda has been doing.
The sandbox mode in Long Dark harbors just enough randomness to encourage repeated attempts. Even if it didn't have multiple environments, players start in different places every time (from what I can tell), and the resources available seem to be randomized. Maybe once you play enough you'll either get into a good routine or find to be a bit too much like gambling (which was my experience with FTL), but I wouldn't know. If the story mode can actually be the meaty adventure people may be expecting, Long Dark looks like it could shape up to be a game that is unique, well-considered in its design, and meaty in content.
All that said, I'm not sure Long Dark, or at least its sandbox mode, appeals to me in particular, and the reason has to do with its ultimate goal. From what I understand, Minecraft starts out being all about survival but eventually resource scarcity ceases being a real problem and you just have fun building, and thus building (or in some cases exploring) becomes the main draw of the game. Some of these other games I understand are also more about building than surviving. Ark is about taming more and progressively cooler dinosaurs. Elite may have some survival situations if your ship get's badly damaged or you run out of fuel and its universe's systems really turn against you, but it's really about using your ship to get more and more things. Even No Man's Sky, from what we know, isn't just going to be about surviving on planets but also exploring the galaxy once you get a ship. The common theme I see here is that these games may start out being about surviving, but eventually they become about thriving. In Long Dark, you're not gathering food and materials to eventually get and do cool things, you're just continually doing all that stuff in order to not die. Maybe if you don't suck at it there is a point of indefinite survival, but survival still seems to be all there is to the game.
I imagine there are certainly people out there who like that and are thus absolutely this game's audience. I just personally need a little bit more than "surviving" to draw me into the game. The story mode might just do it for me. Maybe I'll be a little more likely to take a look at something like Minecraft now.

Admit it; on the NCAA Football franchise (RIP), you gamed the Race to the Heisman function with a defensive end-sized creation who had the speed and elusiveness of a running back.
Don't feel guilty for your blatant cheating–such a player exists in the flesh, not just polygons. He just doesn't have a sweet Create-A-Player name like Hulk Machoman or Biff Stronguy. He's James Conner.
The Pitt running back could very well be playing the real-world version of Race to the Heisman in 2014.
One week after averaging a shade below 11 yards per carry and scored four touchdowns, James Conner rumbled his way to 213 yards in Pittsburgh's 30-20 ACC-opening win over Boston College.
Conner's numbers are impressive on their own, but the way he runs. He scored only one touchdown against Boston College, but in that one score blew up two Eagles defenders.
Meet the meatgrinder.
#Pitt RB James Conner hits paydirt, has 167yds on 21carries. #Panthers go up 27-7. #PITTvsBC http://t.co/srgqP27XCe
— ESPN CollegeFootball (@ESPNCFB) September 6, 2014
Gamers nod knowingly. Defenders can't easily tackle 6'2″, 250-pound ball-carriers.
Of course, it's not as simple as lining up a big man in the backfield and letting him steamroll people. Were that the case, offensive coordinator around the nation would have tackles rushing 20 times a game.
James Conner is a rare–and I do mean rare–blend of size, power and dexterity. Watching him run is like seeing a locomotive with the handling of a Corvette. It's a combination that's produced some impressive numbers in his last three outings:
Conner's last three games rushing: 229, 153, 167 and 6 TD's combined #BeastMode
— Pitt Football (@GoPittFootball) September 6, 2014
And he'll continue to rack up impressive numbers. Conner is on a very early pace to join the illustrious 2,000-yard mark, which is often good enough to land a running back a spot at the Heisman Trophy presentation in New York.
Fellow ACC back Andre Williams accomplished the feat a year ago, playing for a 7-win Boston College team.
Should James Conner reach that 2,000-yard mark, his Heisman profile should get a boost from playing on a Pitt team very much capable of winning the ACC Coastal.
The division lacks a clear favorite. Why not the Panthers?
Pitt defenses are typically stout, and Conner has plenty of help around him on offense. In fact, this could be one of the most exciting Panthers offense since 2009–perhaps longer.
Quarterback Chad Voytik and wide receiver Tyler Boyd are more than just complementary players to Conner's punishing running style. Boyd already established himself as one of the ACC's, if not nation's, best wide receivers in 2013 when he hauled in 1,174 yards and seven touchdowns.
On Friday, he brought in two scores.
Leaning on Boyd and Conner early, Voytik's learning curve in his first full season as starter is shallow.
And the most exciting part for Panthers head coach Paul Chryst? All three are sophomores.
If James Conner doesn't pound his way to New York and the Heisman ceremony this year, he'll have future opportunities.

Wealth in the UK: Sizing the Market Opportunity 2017
Wealth in the UK: Sizing the Market Opportunity 2017 analyzes the UK's wealth and retail savings and investments markets, with a focus on the HNW segment. The report is based on our proprietary datasets.
Despite the surprising result of the Brexit referendum and a slowing economy, the UK's liquid assets grew by over 8% in 2016, the highest growth rate since the end of the financial crisis. Growth continues to be driven mainly by mutual funds, which performed well despite the volatility, as fund managers were able to capitalize on the opportunities provided by the UK stock market. With low interest rates, UK investors may be showing growing demand for well-performing funds. However, as the country's economy faces the challenges of lower GDP expansion and growing inflation, future growth will remain muted. Wealth managers will still be able to find opportunities to grow their business, with demand for tax and estate planning advice remaining high as the government continues to fiddle with tax or pensions regulations.

Raising a bilingual child is so important these days. Many of our friends are choosing dual immersion schools for Spanish, and some are even sending their kids to school to learn Mandarin. For some, it's about preparing kids to participate in a global economy. For others, it just happens to be the best program around. In many cases, parents just want children to be able to converse with their families.
Which is why Lila is learning the language of sarcasm VERY early on.
Since her infancy, her father and I have been speaking to her sarcastically. She comes from a long, long line of sarcastic people, and it is important that we teach her to communicate effectively in this realm. We not only speak to her sarcastically, but try to speak sarcastically to one another as well. In fact, when another child was overhead telling Lila that her parents fight sometimes, Lila said "My parents don't fight. They just tell mean jokes and laugh."
She was slow to learn the language, but we were so happy to see she is beginning to catch on. Whereas she used to accept my casual "You are SUCH a good helper," she now says- "hey! You're using the voice! The one that means I'm not actually helping!" When Michael suggested we throw her brother in the trashcan, Lila rolled his eyes at him and said, "yeah Dad, great idea" with all the snark she could muster. "Lila!" he exclaimed, "Do you really think that's a good idea?" she replied, "Yeah, NO. I'm being sarcastic." Our eyes welled with tears, and we quite literally got out the baby book and wrote the momentous occasion down.
So the next time our daughter takes a tone with you, or when you sense a hint of irony in her tone, please don't judge her. She's just speaking in the native language of her people, and we couldn't be prouder.

Hackers just gave you another reason to hate vaping
It turns out vaping may be bad for more than just your look.
With a few tweaks of the pen, a security researcher has demonstrated that vaporizers can be modified in such a way as to pass code to your computer.
The problem, as with many things security related, comes down to the USB port. Used for both charging and data transfer, the port is a convenient place to plug in phones or other devices that need a battery boost—devices like vape pens.
In a video demonstrating his work, the researcher, who goes by FourOctets, plugs an e-cigarette into a computer's USB and the device immediately lights up as if to charge. A few seconds go by and the computer starts to react.
"DO U EVEN VAPE BRO!!!!!," reads a message that pops up on the screen.
Essentially, the vaporizer issued a custom command to the computer, and the computer was all too happy to oblige.
Take this as the weirdest example yet that you should never plug random devices into your USB ports.
Sorry if I get vape pens banned at your work place...... pic.twitter.com/VYhIIvyDEx
— :(){ :|: & };:⚿ (@FourOctets) May 25, 2017
While FourOctets has no ill-intent, it is easy to imagine someone less scrupulous loading a computer with something not quite as funny. Like, say, a keylogger. Or ransomware.
So how did he make this happen? Thankfully for people worried about their e-cigs catching a virus, it required some hands-on work.
"It started as more of a joke than anything," FourOctets elaborated over Twitter direct message (he declined to give his real name). "This is done with extra hardware and a little bit of code."
As to the point of the demonstration, other than the fact that it is legitimately hilarious?
"Another goal usually when doing dumb stuff like this is that stuff is not always what it seems and that random stuff that can plug into a computer can be dangerous," he explained. "A lot of folks aren't aware that something like this is even possible whether it be with firmware or added hardware and a tiny bit of code found online."
So should you be worried that your vape pen is delivering malicious code to your laptop?
"It's probably pretty unlikely to ever get something like this from the factory that would do this," FourOctets noted, "but the possibility is there and people need to be mindful of that."
So, you know, something to maybe consider the next time you're ripping that sweet cotton.

I knew I was going to like this show. Hearing about how they combine the sounds of East and West had me curious. I anticipated just how they would blend such musical families. I also looked forward to hearing Dvorak, Puccini, Berlioz, and Glinka, as well the original types of compositions this orchestra specializes in.
I wish I had spent more money on tickets. I could have sat closer to the sounds pulling at my body and mind all evening.
Regardless, I sat happy in my balcony seating as I watched traditional Chinese instruments, singers, and a gigantic orchestra.
Women playing upright, bowed, hammer-like instruments called erhu wore colorful dresses and soloed in front of the orchestra. There were also huge Chinese gongs which shook the theater whenever they were struck. And there were the quick-fingered, thunderous sounds of a guitar-like instrument called a pipa.
Aside from those, there were great opera singers with voices that resonated through me. There was even a trumpet spotlight in which three trumpeters gave virtuoso performances.
There was no relief from the hypnotic, beautiful sounds of the evening. The standing ovations led to 2 encores. The conductors ended the evening with baton magic. I'm happy.

Jeff Gordon: A seven-time Charlotte winner going for number eight, from the pole (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
By Mike Mulhern
Given the wild restarts and five-wide (!) action at normally staid California Speedway, little wonder that Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick and maybe even Jimmie Johnson too are starting to think 'Drive defensively.'
Jeff Gordon (191.544 mph) and Edwards (191.455), two men still hanging in the hunt for the title, took the front row Thursday night for Saturday night's Round Five of NASCAR's 10-race playoffs.
And the two should certainly be men to watch here this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway – a couple of guys who have nothing to lose in these final weeks of the season. "This is huge...and a huge surprise," Gordon said. "We used to be the pole king, but the last few years we seem to have lost it." It was his 69th career pole, but his first since Texas last fall...and his first at this track in 10 years.
Gordon and Edwards, both winless in well over a year but both also very strong runners the past two months, will start well ahead of their title rivals. "Tony Stewart had to have that win last weekend at California, to stay in the title chase....and we're about out on that limb too," Gordon added. "But we could be sitting here with three or four wins this year, ones that got away."
That 34th at Fontana Sunday – an electrical problem – has Edwards 162 points down to Johnson. Until Sunday Edwards was setting a sizzling pace on the tour, with a 12-week average of 6.0 – best in the sport.

"We just came off a week where we felt like we got kicked in the stomach...and we've got to keep digging," Edwards says with a deep sigh. "Those are the tough times."
Yet that makes Edwards, wounded, even more dangerous.
"It's just like we talked about at the beginning of this chase -- steadily guys have taken themselves out," Edwards says. "We took ourselves out of the hunt...for the lead at least for the moment, last week.
"Greg Biffle might have done the same with that engine failure.
"Kyle Busch had his trouble too.
"So now you're getting down to a smaller group of guys -- who have more and more pressure on them. And I think those guys are more likely to give
than other guys.
"So on restarts, that's definitely part of the psychology....and that could play well into the hands of a guy like me."
Edwards, who last year came up with the surprising Harlequin Romance books promotion, and who last week was walking around California's Auto Club Speedway with a real duck (Aflac is one of his sponsors), is now adding yet another marketing twist, with a signature cologne, Avon's Turn4XT: The scent of victory?
Edwards, whose buff photos in ESPN's magazine raised NASCAR marketing a notch a couple years back, has become perhaps this sport's top pitchman. "We all know Stroker Ace dressing in the chicken suit and doing all that stuff ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086379/ )....There are lines you have to draw, but I've not approached that line," he says with a laugh.
"I'm comfortable doing a lot of different things. I like doing different things. I like doing stuff that's new, and I like trying new things.
"This was something that I hadn't really ever thought of doing....and it was interesting.
"There were parts where I thought 'Boy, that's a little bit of a racy photo.' But it really came together well.
"The Harlequin thing -- I still have people come up to me and they're like 'Well, I was reading this book, Carl.....'
"When we first talked about it, I thought 'Wow, that's outside the box.'
"And it's turned into something I'm really glad I did. It was fun."
When it comes to promotions and marketing, Carl Edwards keeps stepping it up a notch (Photo: ESPN)
But back to the real business here: Can Edwards rally from 162 points down?
"Hell, yes, we're still in it," Edwards says of his title chances. "If we've got a mathematical chance of being in it, then we do have a chance. We don't quit.
"I just talked to PK (veteran crewman Pierre Kuettel) in the window of the car when he was putting up my window net a minute ago, and his words were 'We don't quit until Homestead is over.'
"Now that doesn't make it any easier....
"But I was a little nervous about Talladega while we were up there real close to the point lead, and now I'm really excited about Talladega. I think you could see a huge swing there.
"If we could go win the thing, or run top-three, and a couple of guys get caught up in wrecks, the chase could look a lot different.
"That's Talladega, and anything can happen."
Edwards knows first-hand.
Just two years ago Edwards and teammate Biffle went into the Talladega chase race that fall looking good for the championship....only to run into each other and both crash out while running 1-2 in the final miles.
And of course there was that wild, too dramatic crash at Talladega last year when he got flipped and nearly went into the grandstands while battling for the win in the closing laps.
So just mentioning Talladega brings a wave of change over his face: "Man, I have a love-hate relationship with that place.
"But I am looking forward to it now."
Then, a bit tongue in cheek, Edwards considered the wild, wild card factor Talladega is in the playoffs and says "Points should not be awarded at Talladega.
"In a fair competition they shouldn't be, because it's so random.
"It's just a treacherous race.
"Since there are points awarded, it adds a whole other level of stress to the race. If you're doing really well in the points, every lap your heart is
pounding, and you're just trying to predict any wrecks that might happen and the best way to avoid them.
"A guy's position like mine -- the reasons I don't like it when I'm running well in the points are the same reasons I look forward to it now."
Just what is it like to get caught up in one of those Big Ones?
"You're sitting in your car -- just like you guys are sitting in this room --- and you're all packed together and you're going 200 mph...and one person makes a terrible move and spins out, or something happens," Edwards says.
"All of a sudden everybody's eyes get wide and you're stabbing the brakes, you're looking in the mirror, you're listening to your spotter, you're trying to drive through this smoke.
"The worst is when you think you've made it through and then some car that hit the wall bounced off and catches you in the right rear, and all hell breaks loose.
"It's such an emotional rollercoaster throughout the day....."

Tough day for mens Home Nation sides as EuroHockey Championships group stages end
- Tweet
- England, Scotland and Wales all endured a tough day in Antwerp as the group stages of the 2019 EuroHockey Championships drew to a close.Danny Kerry's England missed out on the chance of reaching a sixth straight Euros semi-finals as they could only manage a 2-2 draw with Spain.Knowing only a victory would see them qualify ahead of their opponents, England were left feeling frustrated after a game in which they had chances to secure the three points.Scotland's group campaign came to a stuttering close as they were beaten 6-0 by Netherlands, while Wales lost ??? to Belgium in their final match.All three sides will now compete with Ireland in Pool C to decide who will finish between fifth and eighth at this year's event, with the bottom two sides being relegated to the EuroHockey Championships II for 2021.Spain 2 (0)Quemada (33', FG), Arana (43', FG)England 2 (1)Ward (21', FG), Jackson (52', PC)Having drawn with Wales and lost to Belgium, only a victory would have been enough for England to finish in the top two of the group and secure their place in the final four.They made a great start too, with Sam Ward lifting the ball over Quico Cortes to give his side the lead at half-time.However goals from Pau Quemada and Diego Arana in the third quarter left England needing to score at least twice in the final quarter to claim the victory.Ashley Jackson equalised with a stunning flick with eight minutes remaining but despite their best efforts, England's attackers couldn't penetrate the Spanish defence again.That result now means that Great Britain's men will have to play an Olympic qualifier later this year in order to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.Netherlands 6 (3)Bakker (6', FG), Brinkman (15', PC; 37', FG), van der Weerden (23', PC), Janssen (58', PC), Pruijser (60', PC)Scotland 0 (0)Having cruelly been denied what would have been a huge win over Ireland in their previous game, Scotland were hoping to cause another upset against The Netherlands.However the reigning champions took an early lead through Billy Bakker and never looked back, with Thierry Brinkman adding a second at the end of the quarter.Mink van der Weerden added a third before half-time before Brinkman scored again in the 37th minute.Scotland then held their own for the next period, with Lee Morton and Cameron Golden in particular causing problems for the Dutch defence.But two goals in the final three minutes from Jip Janssen and Mirco Pruijser saw The Netherlands cruise to victory and top the group, while Scotland finished bottom.Belgium 6 (4)Hendrickx (15', PC), Boon (15', FG), de Kerpel (25', FG), Charlier (28', FG; 35', FG), Briels (41', FG)Wales 0 (0)Wales started the final men's group game of the tournament knowing they could still reach the semi-finals if they beat the current world champions Belgium by more than four goals.And while that may have seemed a distant prospect, they more than held their own in the opening quarter against the world's highest ranked side, only to concede twice in the final minute through goals from Alexander Hendrickx and Tom Boon.The second quarter followed a similar pattern, with Wales defence holding strong until the final few moments as Nicolas de Kerpel and Cedric Charlier added their names to the scoresheet.Charlier then scored again early in the third quarter before captain Thomas Briels also found the back of the net, although Wales then managed to repel them for the final 19 minutes.All three sides will now contest Pool C, with their results from the other teams to finish in the bottom two of their pools carried over, meaning each side will start on one point.As it stands, Wales will face Scotland at 12:30 BST on Thursday 22 August while England will play Ireland at 14:45.England will then face Scotland at 12:30 on Saturday 24 August before Wales go into battle with Ireland at 14:45.All games will be shown live on BBC Sport's digital platforms.

ON THE AFTERNOON of June 25, spectators peeping though the fence surrounding the East African Community Headquarters in Arusha could have behold some amazing sights: about 80 grown-up professionals could be seen roaming around the premises, apparently deeply involved in play. Some were blindfolded, trying to follow their leader who was carried on the shoulders of some colleagues, others tried to file marbles through small pieces of gutter without dropping the marble, while still others were busy arranging building blocks to form a structure. What lay behind this strange behaviour of serious professionals?
The solution to the conundrum: These people were participating in the first ever team building exercise at the EAC! Team building aims at enhancing cooperation and motivation amongst staff in order to increase organisational performance. The latter is an essential part of the German Cooperation Programme which developed the team-building event together with EAC Corporate Communication and HR. During extensive group discussions, participants shared their observations and feelings during the team builder activities and related them to their work environment at EAC. Three gap areas and their possible remedies were identified:
- OWNERSHIP – EAC staff need to take genuine ownership of what the EAC is trying to achieve (Big Picture Thinking – why do we do what we do).
- TRUSTING TO EMPOWER – More listening, less talking – learn to communicate across functions, bottom up and top down.
- BEING INCLUSIVE – be more proactive and positive. It will make us more efficient. It will also help us to share resources much better.
A few days after the actual team builder event, EAC executives together with staff agreed on the following initial commitments to improve EAC organizational culture: :
- Have quarterly 'State of the Community' meetings where staff can engage with the leadership on relevant developments at the EAC to internalize the big picture of the EAC.
- Introduce Open Door & Open Heart Policy for the leading management, including MBWA (Managing By Walking Around)
3. Provide more opportunities for informal meetings e.g. EAC cafeteria, staff days or brown bag lunches.

Form factors are commonly associated with electronic devices and parts like cell phones and motherboards. In the terms of a motherboard, the form factor would refer to the kind of hardware peripherals it can support and also somewhat defines the structure of the motherboard. It may also highlight some ad hoc standards that fall under that particular form factor. Examples of motherboard form factors include the ATX and micro-ATX form factors. For cell phones, form factor would refer to the overall design and shape of the phone, such as the traditional candy bar form, which differs from the flip and slide form factors. Today's phones mostly have a face dominated by a touchscreen, a form factor known as the slate form factor.
It's important to understand that the standards are optional and may or may not be adhered to by manufacturers. That said, there are some cases where form factors become crucial, such as when upgrading a motherboard. Because motherboards follow a certain standard or form factor, it's easy to look for a replacement; the user just has to look for one that follows the same form factor.

Metbro Classic Plywood Slingshot Maker Kit
Inspired by the iconic Milbro shooter introduced in 1950's Britian, the Metbro Classic is our take on the timeless design. The single hole band attachment can host many styles of rubber and the thumb ramp is replaced with a simple 1/2″ hole at the base of the forks.
This Metbro Classic Maker Kit comprises of a water-jet cut Metbro Classic frame, two laser cut 1/4″ Baltic Birch scales and a length of 5080 black rubber tubing for the fork arm grips*. Two, undersized .12″ holes can be drilled out to accommodate .125″ rod, tubing or barrel screws*.

On the second episode of Flogging a Dead Podcast (the podcast that bravely takes about all of the stuff other podcasts already talk about,) Mitch and Dave talk about the new Pokemon game that came out this past Friday. Dave has seen to have taken a liking to it. Despite being a 3DS game, it has no 3D capability (and not a single person on earth cared.) Seriously though, it's evident Nintendo and Game Freak were not afraid to make some changes to the Pokemon formula this time around. Dave has the details.
Graphics cards are exploding. For serious. Is your computer affected? IS YOUR FAMILY AT RISK?!? If you have a non reference EVGA 1070 or 1080, you may want to consider not using it until it is replaced.
Mitch saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a special effect packed beast of a motion picture, that sticks to the Harry Potter theme and message, without pandering to the audience by reusing any of the main series Harry Potter characters. Mitch is then informed that they're planning on making FIVE of these Fantastic Beasts movies, and disappointment is had.
All this and more on this weeks episode of Flogging a Dead Podcast!

Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
People with Type 1 diabetes (around 250,000 individuals in the UK) cannot produce insulin to control their blood glucose (sugar) and energy needs. They must inject insulin, estimating doses before eating and other activities. This may mean up to 6 injections a day, but aiming for a normal glucose level confers a high risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose, which can cause coma). As a result many patients run glucose levels which are too high and go on to develop complications. Insulin can now be replaced using an infusion pump (the size of a mobile phone), which delivers insulin continuously under the skin via a small plastic tube. This approach is more expensive than multiple injections (£2500 for the pump and £1500 a year extra running costs). It may produce more stable blood glucose, less hypoglycaemia, and a more flexible lifestyle, but needs additional attention from the user. Evidence for benefit comes largely from observing people started on insulin pumps but this may overstate the benefits as those who participate are already committed to the approach or have a particular clinical need. Some of the benefit may come from the re-training and education in insulin use to allow patients to use pumps safely. Importantly, studies of high quality training alone (with standard insulin injections) show similar benefits in blood glucose control, hypoglycaemia and quality of life. No studies in adults have compared pumps with injections where the same training in insulin adjustment has been given, so the added benefit of the pumps themselves is still unclear. There is an urgent need to establish this, and identify patients who benefit the most. The aim of this study is to establish the added benefit of an insulin pump during intensive insulin therapy.
Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 and above with Type 1 diabetes
What does the study involve?
The DAFNE (Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating) course is a 1-week structured course teaching skills in insulin use, delivered in over 70 centres across the UK and Ireland (with over 10,000 individuals now trained). Patients waiting for a DAFNE course are randomly allocated to undertake either the standard DAFNE course with injections, or DAFNE incorporating use of pumps. Blood glucose control, hypoglycaemia, quality of life, acceptability, satisfaction and cost effectiveness are compared between the two groups. We collect information for 2 years after the courses to see if differences develop after some time, or if early improvements are maintained.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?

Scientific title
The REPOSE (Relative Effectiveness of Pumps Over MDI and Structured Education): a multi-centre parallel group cluster randomised controlled trial
Study hypothesis
The aim of the trial is to establish the added benefit of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy over multiple injections on glycaemic control and hypoglycaemia in individuals with type 1 diabetes receiving similar high quality structured training in insulin therapy.
The study objectives are as follows:
1. During the randomised controlled trial (RCT) the following measures will be assessed over 2 years:
1.1. Biomedical outcomes (HbA1c, rates of hypoglycaemia, insulin dose, body weight, albumin-creatinine ratio)
1.2. Quantitative and qualitative psychosocial outcomes [quality of life (generic and diabetes specific), treatment satisfaction, fear of hypoglycaemia, hypoglycaemia unawareness, self-efficacy, social support, adherence to treatment, emotional well-being, acceptability of technology]
1.3. Adverse events (severe hypoglycaemia, hospital admissions with hypoglycaemia, diabetic ketoacidosis)
2. Through a combined analysis of the quantitative and qualitative measures we will identify factors which predict and/or help explain outcomes on CSII
3. A cost effectiveness analysis will be undertaken to determine whether the marginal benefits of CSII over optimised multiple daily injection (MDI) (if demonstrated) are commensurate with the marginal costs, as reflected in a cost per quality-adjusted life years (QALY) acceptable to National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)

Type 1 diabetes
The intervention group will be allocated to CSII (Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion) pump therapy and will attend a 1 week DAFNE (Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating) structured education course followed by a 2 year follow up period during which they will continue to use the CSII treatment.
The standard group will be allocated to MDI (multiple daily injection) treatment and will attend a 1 week DAFNE course followed by a 2 year follow up period during which they will continue to use MDI.
Intervention type
Not Applicable
Drug names
Primary outcome measure
1. The change in HbA1c after 2 years in those participants whose baseline HbA1c was at or above 7.5% (58mmol/mol)
2. The proportion of participants reaching the NICE target of a HbA1c level of 7.5% (58mmol/mol) or less
Secondary outcome measures
Biomedical Endpoints:
1. Hypoglycaemia (severe & moderate)
2. Insulin dose
3. Body weight
4. Blood lipids & proteinuria
5. Diabetic ketoacidosis
Ancillary Study Endpoints:
The ancillary study endpoints will include a prospective psychosocial research component employing mixed methods, quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (interviews) approach in order to:
1. Establish whether, and why, there are differences in QoL and other psychological outcomes between patients using CSII and MDI regimens
2. Examine whether, and why, QoL and other outcomes change over time
3. Understand and explore the added benefit (if any) of CSII technology over MDIs from patients and educators perspectives
4. Look at why some patients may do better than others using CSII
5. Explore acceptability of, and reasons for, discontinuing (pump) treatment
6. Enhance understanding, and assist in the interpretation, of trial outcomes (e.g differences in HbA1c between the two arms)
Quantitative data will be collected at baseline, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years. Data collected will be Quality of life measures DSQOOL, WHOQOLBREF, SF12 and EQ5D; the Hypoglyceamia Fear Scale (HFS); Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
Qualitative data will involve a representative sub-sample of around 40 participants, to include 20 from the CSII arm and 20 from the MDI arm of the trial. These patients will be interviewed within 2 weeks of completion of their courses and around 6 months later. Patients educators will also be invited to take part in an interview and these interviews will also take place within about 2 weeks of the course completion.

Fashionable technology is solely an advancement of old expertise, the impact of expertise in fashionable life is unmeasurable, we use know-how in several methods and generally the way in which we implement various applied sciences finally ends up harming our lives or the society we depart in. What we name trendy know-how is technically not so new normally. There was an enormous quantity of formal structure around the evaluation of his professional capabilities and really, that seems fairly reasonable: he was flying jets around with a whole lot of individuals sitting on board, their lives literally in his palms. By helping to strengthen the country's agriculture sector, FAO and EBRD are together boosting Kazakhstan's potential and supporting diversification of the financial system.
Life would have been very troublesome with out modern expertise, however this does not rule out the truth that it also comes with some consequences. One of many regions where present-day know-how is most essential is within the domain of correspondence. I do not suppose that it is only a Joe Kraus subject, it's become fairly fashionable recently to warn of the hazards of technology.
Fashionable technology has additionally provided methods to develop extra food, transport extra individuals and make extra products for a rising society. The very fact is, Sony has enjoyed success for decades in a wide range of completely different venues; they pioneered enhanced online game technology with the PlayStation, helped the CD reach its pinnacle of popularity and continue to push boundaries with their newest hardware.
Computer imaginative and prescient is the power to buying, processing, analyzing, and understanding footage and, in general, excessive-dimensional data from the necessary world to supply numerical or symbolic information. From Alexander Grahambell's discovery of the telephone, we will not actually stop the development of recent communication equipments. The kingfisher's glossy beak spurred the streamlined nostril design on excessive-velocity trains in Japan.
What this tells us is that a developed country such as the United States of America is really starting to feel the warmth on the toxic burden of recent technology. Conventional codecs that worked so nicely in domestic markets don't always make sense, as is, elsewhere. And they might weaken additional still if, and when, neurochip know-how turns into extra extensively accessible.

Abu Dhabi GP
"I would have loved to sign-off this chapter with a podium, so I can't be ecstatic with fourth and there is a little disappointment there. I led for a while which was fun but staying out put me out of touch with the leaders. I don't think we had much of a choice, maybe we could have pitted early and kept track position but nobody thought the supersofts would hold on like they did. The pace advantage after I pitted was strong but it fell away quite quickly and I couldn't make a big enough impact on Max or the leaders. My thoughts are still on the race but once I cool off I will reflect on the last five years with the Team. I would have loved a championship with them but Red Bull brought me my first pole, victory and podium. Everything I have done in F1 is down the them and I'm incredibly grateful for that. The moment before the race with everyone in the garage showing their love and appreciation was really cool and that's certainly something I will never forget. I thank the Team for the last five years and Red Bull for the last 10. I would have loved to drink out of my shoe and celebrate with the Team one last time, but now I close this chapter with thanks and love for everyone in the Red Bull family."
