Guests Travel Insurance
Within the coronary heart of Asia, there lies a small country referred to as Myanmar (formerly often known as Burma). Within the final 3 months, Russian guests traveling with their partners increased by 24%. On the day the curbs had been lifted by a U.S. judge, bookings from Iran surged, ForwardKeys said, leaving reservations for travel to the United States five times higher on Feb. Policies will almost at all times be inclusive of other services comparable to that for emergency evacuation, insurance coverage for flights and personal liability claims, monetary reimbursement for lost belongings, and a day by day living allowance should flights be delayed in any way.
And it all starts off once you go to the net the place you'll be able to receive very moderately priced deals on airline tickets, rooms, and likewise different travel solutions. If you're on the lookout for a change of scene so far as holidays are thought-about, attempt travel Asia for a truly distinctive traveling experience. Not only do many travel strollers match into an overhead compartment, but the truth that you are now capable of walk by the airport with a stroller means that you are not going to be coping with your youngest being utterly worn out (and entering the whiny part) by the point they get on the aircraft.
Here, you can even explore the vast grassy fields the place peacocks, geese, squirrels and chipmunks use to welcome the travelers. If you are traveling to your villa in Spain however do not want to pay out scheduled airline prices, e book the cheapest trip you'll be able to uncover. Due to this fact together with travel discount choices, you almost have a travel butler at your aspect who can read your thoughts before you even formulate the thought.
My aim has always been to assist extra people travel and show them travel would not must be expensive. The majority of persons are unaware that an abroad travel insurance coverage policy, or other insurance coverage for that matter, is a legal agreement and even that the corporate as well as the customer of the policy are legally sure by its terms and circumstances.
Uttaranchal is greatest in season all yr spherical especially if you are planning a honeymoon for Himalayas on one among its quite a few hill stations. Lastly, if you happen to did not know enough people to kind a travel membership, or you didn't like an existing membership's travel choices, you have been out of luck. Thus, subsequent time when you plan an air travel, purchase the providers of these travel web sites that assist, guide and help you in choosing the most cost effective air travel deals.

Title translation: "Lie"
Translation: naruto44355
Hey, Do you remember that scarlet evening sky?
We made a promise while the summer wind embraced us.
While we held each other tight.
As that impossible smile grows, a shadow forms
That's why I acted to be blind, and let it go.
I've been waiting for that unshaking warning on the table
Everything hidden in those white mornings & nights;
I understood everything.
Hey, you've forgotten that scarlet-stained sky, haven't you?
You haven't kept your promise, and everything went away with the summer wind,
Now we can't go back.
Sound, color and warmth - this room has neither.
Today passed in vain - I'm shaking and tired; all I can do is sleep.
"I was able to break you so easily, right? You love and hate lies in the same time," those were your words.
If we stayed together, we would only get hurt more
That's why, we said our farewells.
"We'll meet again"
That's what we said as we waved, but we won't meet again, right?
The last lie was a soft lie...
I won't forget.
Hey, will you remember that scarlet-stained sky, won't you?
We'll hold onto this promise,
And we'll walk our own ways.

Chair's biggest fan/
We've had our new desk chair for about two weeks, and there is one family member who has logged the most hours on it... and it's not me, the one who works from home. No, I've been sent to the sofa with my laptop while Thisbe hogs the new chair.
Unfortunately the current fabric is a cat-fur magnet... so until we get it reupholstered (new fabric plus thicker/firmer foam on the seat to bump it up an inch or two), we're becoming fast friends with the vacuum and lint rollers.
Do your furry friends ever stage a take-over of new furniture?

Antibody Diversification Types
Disclaimer: This work has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional academic writers. You can view samples of our professional work here.
Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays.
Published: Wed, 23 May 2018
We are surrounded by countless bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms that are constantly seeking entry into the favorable growth medium that human bodies provide. Antigens can be eliminated by the inflammatory response, the action of protein complement and also the engulfment of macrophages. The major barrier to infection include those allow the host to remove only specific antigens quickly and efficiently by recognizing each antigen with tremendous specificity, and this makes the diversity of antibody most important.
There are seven ways of antibody diversification that have been identified in mice and humans lately. They are: 1. Multiple germ-line gene segments; 2. Somatic recombination: Combinatorial V-(D)-J joining; 3. Junctional diversity; 4. P-region nucleotide addition (P-addition); 5. N-region nucleotide addition (N-addition); 6. Somatic hypermutation; 7.Combinations of light and heavy chains.
Multiple germ-line gene segments:
In germ-line DNA the H-chain gene is consists of V (variable).D (diversity) and J (junction) gene segments. An inventory research reveals 51 VH, 25 D, 6 JH, 40 Vκ, 5 Jκ, 31 Vλ, and 4 Jλ gene segments can be presented in one human.
The immunoglobulin loci of different individuals may contain different amount of gene segments types. Those numbers of the gene segments in the mouse are different from that of human and less precision. About 85 Vκ , 134 VH gene segments, as well as 4 functional JH, 4 functional Jκ, 3 functional Jλ, and an estimated 13 DH gene segments, and only three Vλ gene segments are presented.
Somatic recombination: Combinatorial V-D-J joining
The possibility of gene rearrangements can be achieved by the calculation of the random combination of any of the 51 VH , with the 27 DH and with the 6 JH gene segments in humans (51 27 6 = 8262 possible combinations). Similarly, the random combination of any 40 Vκ with 5 Jκ gene segments and 30 Vλ with 4 Jλ gene segments can generate 200 and 120 possible combinations at the κ locus and λ locus, respectively. However, though the potential of diversity of antibody combining-site in humans can be really high, different individual only carries a particular subset that is not affected by the magnitude.
Junctional diversity
Antibody diversity can be increased further by the imprecision of joining that occurs at the DH-JH, VHDHJH, and VL-JL boundaries.
The signal sequences are always joined precisely, however the joining of the coding sequences can be imprecise. Junctional diversity can leads to nonproductive rearrangements (e.g. frame shift mutation that produce non-functional protein), or productive combinations such as the insertion of different number of amino acid into the third hyper-variable region (CDR3) in immunoglobulin H-chain and L-chain DNA where it is mainly contribution to antigen binding, or by the insertion of extra nucleotides during joining process, thus, the generation of antibody diversity occurs.
P-region nucleotide addition
The cleavage of the hairpin structure that was formed by the turning of the end of the variable-region and attached signal gene sequence, can leaves a short single strand, which can be complemented by P-nucleotides, thus a palindromic sequence can be generated in the coding joint. The sequence variation of the coding joint which is caused by the variation of hairpin cutting position, can contribute to the diversity of anybodies.
N-region nucleotide addition
The addition of N-nucleotides also involves the asymmetrical cleavage of the hairpin ends generated in recombination. The rearranged heavy-chain genes (in CDR3) that contain the variable-region coding joints have some short amino acid sequences that are encoded by nucleotides. Those nucleotides were added during the V, D and J joining process catalyzed by the reaction that a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) was involved, which is responsible for the addition of N-nucleotides (≤15) at the coding joints of DH-JH and VH-DHJH. Since N regions are consisting of random sequences, the additional heavy-chain diversity generated can be quite large.
Somatic Hypermutation
Somatic hypermutation is a kind of additional antibody diversity which is generated in rearranged variable-region gene. The mutation may cause individual nucleotides in VJ or VDJ units replaced with alternatives. The frequency of mutation among the A,T,C,G are all the same. The frequency can be approached to 10-3 per base pair per generation, which is about 105 times higher than that of the spontaneous mutation rate. Normally, somatic mutation occurs in hyper-variable regions within germinal centers, and occurs during secondary immune response after class switching (the mature resting B cells begin to synthesis the H-chain of different classes).
Somatic hypermutation is targeted to rearranged V regions located within a DNA sequence, which is containing about 1500 nucleotides, thus it introduces large numbers of incompletely substitutions
Claudia Berek and Cesar Milstein's experiment* reveals that in the CDR1 and CDR2 hyper-variable regions (mice), the number of mutations and the progressively increased total affinity of the antibodies for phOx hapten (experimental material) is due to the primary, secondary, and tertiary immunizations.
Combinations of light and heavy chains
According to the previous discussion, the theoretical number of the potential combinations of heavy-chain and light-chain is 2,644,240 in humans (8262 H-chain genes320 L-chain genes). This number can be inaccurate in an individual. The recombination process of VH and VL is not completely random, since the gene segments of VH, D, or VL are not used at the same frequency.
To conclude, the new sequences generated by junctional diversity, P-nucleotide and N-nucleotide addition, as well as somatic hypermutation together make an significant contribution to antibody diversity, and the antigen specificity can reach to the number of 109-1011 in total (in mouse).

Every successive zero has its own significance
National Statistics Committee releases major economic financial results for first eleven months of 2012, with some surprises
By Kirill Yemelianov
From January-November 2012, the country's enterprises and organisations earned over a thousand trillion Belarusian Roubles from selling goods and services. "Everything is correct, without error," stresses the National Statistics Committee. The figure is almost double that seen across the same period of 2011.
The figure has embarrassed economists over which word comes after trillion: trilliard or quadrillion?
"I must admit that I've never heard of trilliards being used in the Russian language," admits the Pro-Rector of the Belarusian State University for Scientific Work, Doctor of Economics, Prof. Alexey Danilchenko. "Such growth may be explained by our rise in manufacturing across various sectors. Moreover, Governmental policy aims to expand exports and enter new foreign markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America, bringing benefits."
In 2012, output of heavy-duty dump trucks and tyres, other trucks and automobiles, medicines, tractors and TV sets rose on 2011. Profitability of these goods (and services) totalled almost 13 percent while the number of loss-making organisations fell from 546 in 2011 to 495 (around 6 percent).
Despite figures with 15 zeros appearing in official reports, the National Bank is reluctant to change the value of currency. Nadezhda Yermakova, the Chair of the Board of the National Bank, recently noted that there are no plans to 'throw off zeroes', as 'inflation is likely to stand at 12 percent — which is still a high figure'. There's no need for denomination under such levels of inflation.

This weekend we took Gabriella to see Santa!
It was her first time meeting the man in the big red suit. We took GiGi to Diane Miller Photography as she has been our photographer since our wedding in 2006. She is amazing with children especially when they are in an unfamiliar setting. She has a wonderful studio which provides the perfect backdrop to occasions like this. There was a real wood burning fireplace in the background (and by real I mean FIRE and the scents of Santa's cozy home in the North-pole), Santa on his big comfy chair, his bag of toys, and various Christmas decorations. This Santa is like the real-deal. He has a real white beard, the hair, the big red suit, and the jolly belly. 🙂
First impressions from GiGi were as typical as you would expect of a one year old. She didn't quit know what to make of Santa and his jolly-ness. We started warming her up to him by letting her play on the floor near his feet and explore a bit. Then we placed her on his lap and she gave him a once-over. Thank goodness Diane is quick on her feet and snapping away because after sitting with Santa for 30 seconds she cried out for help! We had an entourage with us and I mean the Grandmothers so there was no shortage of hugs for our distressed GiGi.
All in all Diane took some great shots. We immediately had a viewing and picked out our favorites. Sadly, I don't have any pictures to share yet. We will get our pictures in less than two weeks!
|Did a fun edit and added a Santa hat!

However, when it comes to have safe YouTube likes a few things which may help in boosting your likes may include the following.
Quality must be the Best One
Quality plays a significant role in all aspects, when it comes to the YouTube video as well all you need to do is to provide a great video because if the quality of the video is not up to the mark despite of the content being great you won't be able to attract people and so no safe likes would be attained.
Play with Keywords
Keywords play a significant role when it comes to YouTube and gaining the safe likes. Make sure your keyword is up to the mark and you need not to use such keywords which never come in any competition, competitive keywords are important when it comes to dealing with YouTube videos.
Appropriate Upload of Video
Video making is one thing but then uploading the video in the right manner is another essential thing that must be followed for sure. However, when it comes to uploading the video make sure that the video has been provided with the right title bearing the keyword and also the description given with the video bears the keyword.

PRESS CONFERENCE VIDEO: Narduzzi NC State Preview
PAT NARDUZZI: Another tough one for our guys. Three-point loss up in Syracuse, left a lot of plays out there, and really went through the facts last night with our guys really of what we did and really what we didn't do to win that football game. But they're scoring touchdowns, we're kicking field goals, three of them. I tried to do some math with them last night, you turn one of those field goals when you get down in the red zone into a touchdown, what do we win by? It's like, you win. And they got the point total correct, too. Smart guys at Pitt.
But there's a lot of little things that we just don't do out on the field to make those plays, and you can't — against anybody in the ACC, and Syracuse continues to get better. They're a good football team. It was a great game for sure for the fans to watch. Much better than last year, I might add, as far as just watching a game and being competitive and more of a defensive game I guess than an offensive game. Lots of three-and-outs in the first half for both defenses.
But you know, there's a lot of things that we need to do, offensively, defensively, to get a lot better. For example, I mean, just — they made some great catches. They got a couple of phenomenal catches, and we got opportunities to make the same ones, and we don't make them. What's the problem there? We've just got to make plays, and it's really what it comes down to when you have opportunities; you have to make them. You've got to attack the ball and high point it, and the same thing on defense. I think we started off with a bang, and then 98 plays later we're a little tired. Jordan Whitehead probably gave him too many reps for any of you guys who want to start them both ways. When you take 80 snaps on defense and eight or nine on offense and special teams, as well, you're the person to protect on the punt team, he's got too many and you don't see it because he keeps going, and he's never saying, 'Coach, I need a blow.' He just keeps going. But when you start missing tackles, then it affects everybody. Those are some of the things that we've got to make sure we don't continue to do. That's on coaches and players.
But we play a fantastic North Carolina State team, a team that as a voting member of the USA Today, I've been voting for them since week one. I can show you my results from week one, but I've voted for them all along because I've watched what they've done during the summer on tape. They're a physical football team, they're a veteran football team. They've got, I think, 18 returning starters, eight on defense and 10 on offense. Their entire line is back from a year ago. And any time you have that consistency and guys that have played around — Dave, Coach Doeren, is going into his, I think, fifth season here, and the program is very, very stable at this point, and that's what happens when you give a coach — I knew Dave back when he was at Northern Illinois. When you give a guy that much time to do his deal, and my hats go off to those folks there for hanging in, and they've got a good football team, from skill all the way to the line, on both sides of the ball.
It starts up front with those guys. Chubb, Street, Hill, Jones across the front, they've got one of the best D-lines you'll see in the country. I saw that last year. I saw that they were good.
Q. What's the situation at quarterback for you guys going into this week?
PAT NARDUZZI: Keep practicing. Our team is continuing to grow in a lot of different spots, and it will have to go faster there. I feel bad for Max. We're still evaluating his body, so that's still in evaluation, but Ben DiNucci is the guy. I've had a meeting with Ben this morning about preparation and putting as much into it as he possibly can, and Ben has got a ton of ability. We've talked about that, and he needs to relax in the pocket and identify who he's supposed to read and throw the ball and manage the run game properly so everything clicks. We've got faith in Ben, and Kenny Pickett will be his backup. I don't know if I mentioned this at staff meeting or to our team or to my wife, we've got a lot of confidence in Kenny Pickett, as well. That's why I had no — when Max went down, you can't hesitate, you've got to know what your next move is, and Thomas MacVittie, again, is another exceptional athlete, but Kenny Pickett is just a little bit further ahead of him mentally. Thomas played receiver for a long time in high school and doesn't have a lot of reps there, but is a talented kid. So we still have faith in him, as well.
But Kenny is probably as mentally prepared as any freshman quarterback in the country, I think. He's way ahead of where DiNucci was when he was a freshman mentally, so he's a guy that we had confidence in from the beginning. He pays attention to details, as well. So he'll be our backup, and we'll progress that way.
Q. The decision — is there a scenario where he could even have a package or two?
PAT NARDUZZI: Who's that?
Q. Pickett?
PAT NARDUZZI: Well, I have a lot of packages, like the entire package. He's smart enough to know the entire package.
Q. Are you going to try to get him playing time? To burn him for one snap, you would need something miraculous to happen no matter how strong kids are on this team. I assume there's a long game you're trying to play.
PAT NARDUZZI: It's a long game, it's a developmental game, and it's a guy that's ready. We'd like to play him, put it that way. We don't want to play him for one play and then burn a redshirt. But I've seen guys think redshirts are burned, and to me — when you talk redshirting, it's about when your opportunity arises, and there's nobody that turns that down. There was a receiver a long time ago at the University of Rhode Island who had to play in the last game of the season against Hofstra I believe it was. He hadn't played all year, we had the Delaware game the week before, had a bunch of guys get hurt, kid's name was Ricketts, I believe, and burned his redshirt year that year, played one game, last game of the season, caught seven balls. Then next year, those other receivers that got hurt in that game weren't hurt, okay, and he ended up redshirting the second year, okay. Didn't play a down. That's what it was.
So you never know. When your time is called, you've got to play. Kenny is a team guy. I've talked to his dad. He understands the process. He understands — he's understood that sitting in that room. You're one snap away from being a backup, and that's at every position, that happens. Quarterback is not a position you're trying to rotate and get guys series. We've got to get Ben in the rotation and — excuse me, get Ben in the flow of the game and let him go.
Q. When you talked to Ben this morning in that meeting, do you tell him to approach this week any differently? He says he's been approaching every week the same, but obviously it's not the same when Max is definitely not going to play.
PAT NARDUZZI: Yeah, but told him to take it better than he has. I think you can always get better. I think everybody can get better. I can spend more time in the office. I can spend the night again. I mean, everybody can give you more, okay, and I just told him, hey, listen, we need more. What you've done so far is okay, but you need more. It's the same thing for everybody. Everybody needs to give more. When someone goes down, it's the next man up, and he's got more, okay. I might take his phone away from him. Does he tweet, Jerry?
Q. He has a Twitter account, but not much.
PAT NARDUZZI: Not much? That's good. Whatever I've got to do, I'll take something away from him. Maybe I'll take his video games.
Q. Have you had a chance to look back at the play that Max got hurt on and see what happened there?
PAT NARDUZZI: Yeah. It was a real wide end, coming off the field side, and Matt Flanagan is coming across the line of scrimmage or coming across the formation to block him, and Qadree was kind of — they brought a blitz at the same time from the field. A backer was coming, and if it was just a D-end they both would have blocked him, but Qadree kind of got just a little bit in Flanagan's way, and they couldn't pick him off the edge. I don't know if I'd say nice job by them. They did it by accident, but just didn't — Flanagan couldn't get over tight enough, unfortunately.
Q. Over the last — the previous two years, you haven't really had to discipline that many people, but now it's six guys in the past five months. When something like that happens, are you fearful that the message isn't getting across to some guys?
PAT NARDUZZI: Everybody is different. You know, the message is getting communicated, I can tell you that. Like I said in the past, we will be a disciplined football team. We're going to do little things right, from tucking our shirts in on trips — we're going to do the little things right. I think, again, as soon as you let some of those things go, and obviously this was not a tucking your shirt in problem, but those are how small the details are that we're working on and developing, and I think when you're a young football team and you don't have a lot of seniors sitting in that front row that have command of the room like we did a year ago, that there's always going to be those issues, and it's the age these kids are growing up in nowadays. You look around at some of the bigger things happening in the world, and they just trickle down into smaller things here. I mean, you look at Las Vegas, who would have ever thought that would happen 15 years ago? There's little things that our kids are growing up in the world that we didn't have to, and we've just got to stay on the little things, details, and again, if you aren't detailed off the field, you won't be detailed on the field, and that's the emphasis we're trying to make.
Q. Do you address things with the team when this kind of stuff happens?
PAT NARDUZZI: Yeah, no question about it. It gets addressed really quickly.
Q. When you see Dave Doeren's defense, what's stood out to you about things they did schematically?
PAT NARDUZZI: Well, Dave Huxtable is the defensive coordinator. I think you guys have some history with him. But he's very detailed. Got a great plan, just playing sound football. I mean, they're not complicated when you look at them, but they have a system, and they run the system, and they fit their players into the system, and they've got some cats up front that are really good that make everybody else around them really good.
Q. How much better does your offensive line have to play in this game compared to what they've been doing the last couple of weeks?
PAT NARDUZZI: They've got to play like they did against Penn State. They've got to be able to rush the football. So we've done that in the past, and they've got to play good. But quarterback has got to play good. Running backs got to play better. Receivers got to make blocks and catch the ball. It's 11 guys, it ain't just the offensive line. You know, I think that's evident when you watch Jordan Whitehead run. I mean, I think if you interviewed an offensive lineman, hey, are you blocking any different when Jordan Whitehead is in there, and they'd probably tell you no. I don't think they get in the huddle and say, 'Oh, number 9 is in here, let's block for this guy today.' There's some blocking going on. It can be better always, but our run game has got to be better, too.
Q. Are you hoping to settle on five guys on the O-line and in that Syracuse game it didn't happen?
PAT NARDUZZI: No. Again, we're rotating guys around. Still trying to find out who they are and giving them opportunities. The only way you get better is to have opportunities to play. You know, if there was five beasts up there, then we'd keep the five beasts and you can tell the guys that haven't been out of the two deep or been out of the starting lineup, so we're looking for the five consistent guys, and if it's all average, then keep them fresh and give them an opportunity to go play.
Q. How close do you feel like you guys are to finding success?
PAT NARDUZZI: Well, when we rush for 300 yards this weekend, if we rush for 300 yards, I think we've found — how close are we? We're probably not going to know until next spring, you know. Think about it. It is what it is right now. I mean, we're not going to go off the free agent wire and see if we can pick some guys up. We've just got to keep coaching them.
The great thing about our kids is they care. They've got a great care factor. They want to get better. They sit in here with their eyes up, and they want to get better. That's the important thing, and they're having opportunities to play and prove that they are the guy, whether it's Brandon Hodges and Jaryd Jones-Smith and Mike Herndon, Dintino, they are all having opportunities to go out there and put their pads on somebody.
Q. Any combination that's standing out to you, especially on the right side?
PAT NARDUZZI: I don't know. Maybe.
Q. When you look at NC State, do they sort of — what Dave has done there, they've taken that step from not great to first year to where they are now, is that a model for a program like you guys and the way that they're playing, is that a model that you kind of want to follow?
PAT NARDUZZI: I mean, I think anybody in the country wants to. Consistency and getting your guys in place, and every place is different. Every situation is a little bit different that you walk into. I think here we walked into a pretty good situation with some pretty good players. Paul did a good job recruiting, but they were all older guys that had played a lot of football. I think time is to tell there. I think some people lose patience. They have it down there, and Dave has run his course. He believed in what he's doing, and he's done a nice job. They've got a great pool of kids around their area, and obviously it comes down to recruiting and getting the right players in that program. They've done a great job.
Q. That nickel defense — Is that encouraging for you as a coach that you can deploy that in the future when you see these four-, five-wide receiver teams?
PAT NARDUZZI: The what defense you said?
Q. Using five defensive backs.
PAT NARDUZZI: It's encouraging, but we knew we've had that, use it when you need to or you feel like you have to or the run game is not what it is. I mean, they didn't really start running the ball until the second half. If they just want to throw it every down, then you kind of build it off of that, and we had base in there, as well, so you just kind of do what they're doing.
Q. When you went one running back down this Saturday, I thought maybe Davis would play but he only played one carry.
PAT NARDUZZI: He had one carry, and you want him in there. He has one carry, and he's supposed to break it outside, he cuts it back inside. He's still a young guy that I want to get him more carries, and I told him before the game we want to get you more carries and then — I'm not subbing guys in. I'm not the sub coach on offense, but they've got to go with who they feel understands what they're doing. They know what the game plan is offensively. But we'd like to get him more carries. I want to see the guy go and see if he can be a difference maker for us. But I wish he'd get more reps. I really do.
Q. Is practice going to be any different for Jordan Whitehead team wise?
PAT NARDUZZI: Probably not, no. He's a smart guy, plays both ways every week.
Q. Were there plays that he was in that you guys didn't give it to him Saturday?
PAT NARDUZZI: I think one. No, I think we gave it to him every time, and they probably knew that, too.
Q. How do you find that balance for Jordan on offense and defense?
PAT NARDUZZI: You know, I'm over balance right now. You don't want to use him like you were using him. You don't want to wear him out. I don't want to wear the kid out. He's a great kid that wants to go. He comes off yesterday all smiles, and I said, hey, just keep going. We'll do what we need to do. But he's a super kid that is all in.
Q. You're halfway through now. If you look at it, you guys got a streak of having reached a postseason game nine years. Do you try to block out big-picture stuff when you've got the tough schedule the rest of the way?
PAT NARDUZZI: One at a time. One at a time. If we start looking ahead, we're going to be in big trouble. We're not smart enough. We're not mature enough to ever look ahead. We've got to focus on North Carolina State. We've got a great football team coming in homecoming weekend, and it'll be a great challenge for us this football team. Top-20 team coming into Heinz Field.
Q. Do you have to sort of revisit or look at the amount of jet sweeps and shovel passes or the way you use them?
PAT NARDUZZI: Yeah, again, with the way they're playing, we should have more effect inside. It's all based on how they're structured defensively, and we're not getting it out to Quadree, and even when he does get out there, we're getting one-arm tackled and put on the ground, so we've got to make something happen when we do get the ball in our hands, and that loosens some other things up. But yeah, we look at that every week.
Q. When you look back at the film of the run game from the past few games —
PAT NARDUZZI: It looked pretty good when No. 9 was in there, didn't it? Didn't struggle when No. 9 was in there, did it?
Q. When you look back at the film, I guess what do you see? Is it kind of more on the backs? Is it the line not getting opportunities?
PAT NARDUZZI: I think it's a little bit — it's a great question, and I think I answer it every week. It's a little of everything. You know, it's a little bit of the backs. Sometimes it's a quarterback making the right check, depending on the game and who made that call. Max has been really good at that. And then sometimes it's the offensive line. It only takes one. When you put them all in a box and you're in a two-tight end set and one guy misses a block, it can look like an ugly play, but four other guys really blocked well, but if you miss one block, then it all goes downhill, and it doesn't matter. It makes them all look bad, and that's why you count on that guy next to you, whether it's a center or guard or tackle that's next to you to do his job and focus on that, keep your head up and use your hands and don't block with your flippers and your arms, and that's what it comes down to.
But if you miss one block, it could be fatal. That's been the problem. So it's not one thing you can point at, just the running backs, and it's not just the offensive line, it's a combination, and that's why they call it a team game. If we played football with one guy out there, it was one-on-one, it would be pretty easy to say who didn't get it done. But one play this guy is good, one play it's not.
Q. Is Therran Coleman sort of in the lead for that third cornerback spot now after how much he played Saturday?
PAT NARDUZZI: You know, he is. His stock has risen. I told him it was going to be important, him getting an opportunity. He won that position; it wasn't a, 'Here you go, Therran, go be the guy.' He won it in a competition like we do every week. We try to compete — we're going to compete at quarterback this week. Kenny is going to compete. He's going to try to look better. We're going to compete at every position like we do every week and find out who's going. But Therran competed and won that spot and did a nice job at it.
He was physical, he tackled well when he was out there. It was your fear; I yelled at him on Thursday because he did a couple of those whiz tackles where he pretended like he tackled the guy but he didn't. I was like, 'Dude, you're too young to do that. Don't be doing that on Thursday practice. Thud him up.' And that's your fear, the guy goes out there and doesn't thud it up. But Therran did a nice job. It was good.
We've still got our two starting corners, so it's hard, and we'll do some nickel this weekend, as well, so he'll have opportunities.
Q. What does NC State do offensively?
PAT NARDUZZI: They are a big, big zone team. Their offensive line is big, physical. You guys are asking real football questions. I like it. Thanks, guys. They're a big offensive line physically. They run a lot of outside zone. They've got some RPOs involved, as well. Finley is a very smart quarterback. I don't think he's thrown a pick this year. He manages the game well. He's a transfer from Boise. He does a great job of just managing the game. He doesn't try to do too much. He's obviously very intelligent. I don't know what his GPA is, but based on watching him and what he does, how he manages the game, you can tell he's probably a 4.0 guy that pays attention to details. He's probably in the film room right now trying to dissect our defense and figure out what he can do and how he can do it and what tells him this, what tells him that. That's what he does, and you can see it on tape.
Q. The challenge of Samuels, they use him a bunch of different ways.
PAT NARDUZZI: He's all over the place. He's their H-wide back that will play fullback, play wide receiver, throw him bubbles. He'll get 12 carries a game probably. He's a guy that they utilize. He's a good football player.
Q. What can you say about Kessman and his improvement since the beginning of the year?
PAT NARDUZZI: He actually hasn't gotten any better. He's been the same guy. The uprights just move every once in a while and they go through. I almost called the punt team out for that 56-yarder when I saw their kick returner go back there. I'm like, 'Oh, my gosh, our O-line better cover here.' When you've got a punt returner, kick returner back there that's a 100-meter guy standing at the end line and you're kicking — you line up for a 56-yard field goal and then you've got to go — it's not like your punt team is out there or your kickoff team. It's our field goal team. You've got a lot of beef out there that you really don't even have to block them to make them miss. So it was a little scary. I had the punt team called up just in case. I changed my mind at the last second. Glad I didn't. But that thing would have been good from 56 and a half yards probably, and I think, gol-ly.
Q. O'Neill could run down one of those guys maybe.
PAT NARDUZZI: One guy. That feels pretty wide.
Q. You mentioned Pickett's mental acumen. Can you give an example of maybe some things you've taken up in the film room?
PAT NARDUZZI: He's just a detailed guy. He's a very detailed student of the game is what he is. He's obviously been well-coached in high school. I think it starts there. You don't — you don't develop overnight at quarterback, and he's developed while he's here and Coach Watson enjoys him in the meeting room because he can answer a lot of questions. He understands the game.

Open Gate Consulting
People have complicated lives. For the business leader, managing and leading people can, at times, be a frustrating and costly distraction. Leaders in small to medium size business often lack the resources to hire a team as a large company would. Employee Resources, Training, Organizational Development and Employee Assistance support seem out of reach. Business to business providers tend to ignore the small to medium business client.
At Open Gate Consulting we saw this need and have dedicated ourselves to small business – their leaders and teams. Through our extensive experience in human resources, behavioral health, organizational development, training and operational leadership, we have a deep understanding of what makes people tick. This unique blend of experience allows us to work with business leaders in a profound way. Not only as a guide to navigate the complexities of creating and sustaining a winning team, but as a partner who has your back.
And, as your business thrives, we have the depth of resources to be there for you as you grow.

I just found this website:
On the third message of the thread, there is a Mandelbrot program for the HP prime. Does this mean that there is an emulator available? Or is it just a listing to make us familiar with the language?
Also, a little bit unrelated, but in the interview here, it looks like there is an RPN app for the 39gII... Does anyone know more about this?
There is no RPN of any kind I have seen on the 39gII. I'm sure that was a mistake.
The datasheet (http://www.cemetech.net/projects/techreports/hpprime_datasheet.pdf) posted there among other places includes some official details.
Also, here is a picture of a fine looking gentleman. :-)
Edited: 28 May 2013, 11:33 a.m.
Tim, thank you, but... I had no doubt that an emulator was existing. The keyword in my sentence above was: "available"! ;)
Emulator is available to beta testers only until official release.
You have to be in Tim's short list to be a beta tester.
Fair enough. The public availability of that listing made me hope otherwise. Back to wait mode then! :)

Strabismus in Children
What is strabismus?
Strabismus is a condition that causes your child's eyes to look in different directions. It is also called squint, crossed eye, or walleye. Your child's eye muscles do not work properly to control his eye movement. This condition may only occur sometimes, or it may be present all the time.
What causes strabismus?
- Weak or paralyzed eye muscles
- Head or eye injury that damages eye function
- Tumors that press on the muscles or nerves around the eyes
- Damage or swelling of the retina in premature babies
What are the signs and symptoms of strabismus?
- Your child has an eye that wanders or turns in, out, down, or up.
- Your child says his eyes hurt or are tired after reading or focusing on an object.
- Your child looks at you with one eye closed or his head turned to the side.
- Your child has headaches.
- Your child has blurred vision, double vision, or increased sensitivity to bright lights.
How is strabismus diagnosed?
Your child's healthcare provider will ask about your child's symptoms and examine his eyes. Your child may need any of the following tests:
- A vision exam is done to check if strabismus has affected your child's vision. Your child will be asked to look at letters, pictures, and shapes on reading charts at a close and far distance.
- An eye exam will include a light reflex test and a fundoscopic test. A light reflex test compares how each eye reacts to the light. The pen light is flashed in front of his eyes and moved slowly from side to side. A fundoscopic test uses an instrument with a bright light to check for damage to the blood vessels inside your child's eyes.
- A cover test may be done by your child's healthcare provider. Your child looks at an object up close and at a distance with one eye covered. Then your child looks at the object with the other eye covered. The healthcare provider will watch your child's eyes to see how they respond.
- A refraction test measures the prescription your child needs for eyeglasses. Your child will be asked to look at a chart through a device that has lenses of different strengths. Your child will be asked if the word or picture is clear as the healthcare provider changes the lenses.
How is strabismus treated?
- An eye patch over your child's stronger eye may be needed. This will help your child's weaker eye to work more and get stronger.
- Eye exercises help improve your child's eye movement and focus. Ask the healthcare provider about the best eye exercises for him.
- Eyeglasses can help your child's eyes work together.
- Surgery may be done to change the length or position of your child's eye muscles. This will help to straighten his eyes.
When should I seek immediate care?
- Your child loses vision in his eye.
- Your child has a severe headache, dizziness, or vomiting.
When should I contact my child's healthcare provider?
- Your child has a fever.
- Your child has blurred or double vision.
- You have questions or concerns about your child's condition or care.
Care AgreementYou have the right to help plan your child's care. Learn about your child's health condition and how it may be treated. Discuss treatment options with your child's healthcare providers to decide what care you want for your child. The above information is an educational aid only.

The Golden State Warriors forward talks about the evolution of his personal style—including one very memorable yellow leather jacket.
We've said it before: Style isn't as much about the clothes you wear as it is about having the confidence to wear them, to find a look that makes you feel authentically you. And say what you will about the Warriors (who have what's quickly becoming an annual habit of getting roasted on Twitter for their photo shoots), but forward Draymond Green has always been himself. Off the court, in his personal style, it has meant everything from an aqua-and-purple, Jordan-themed homecoming outfit in high school to a very strong jacket game at last year's All-Star Weekend in Toronto, including one very memorable yellow leather double-rider.
We caught up with Green on the morning before his second consecutive NBA All-Star appearance to talk about his style evolution.
Take me through your outfit here.
The Chelsea boots [are] Saint Laurent. Daniel Patrick jeans. I love these jeans. The length on them are incredible. The holes in the knees got me. And they're a great fit. And then just basic white [for the shirt]. It's actually short-sleeve. It's Vince. This jacket, I recently just came over this brand. They're just getting started. They're out of Paris, called Eleven Paris. They did an L.A. collection, so that's how my stylist got connected with them. So possibly looking to do a little more with them. I like certain stuff that's not just like, "Oh, it's a Saint Laurent jacket. Oh, that's easy to go get."
How do you find new stuff?
My stylist, Vick Michel, he does a great job. His whole thing this weekend was: something else, something different. So the jacket [I wore] on Friday, he actually made that jacket himself. His whole thing was: Everybody's gonna wear this, this, and this. We want you to be different. So I wore a jacket like Eleven. I like to go that way sometimes.
Plus, you had to follow up that yellow jacket from last year.
Yeah, definitely. That yellow jacket was a statement piece.
Have you worn it since?
I have not.
Will you ever wear it again?
It sounds like you're never going to wear it again.
Probably not.
Have you always been into style?
I've always been into style since growing up as a kid. Whether it was the full blue-jean suits as a kid, when those were really hot, to the Gucci velours back in the day. I've always loved it. Obviously, growing up where I did, we didn't have much money, so I wasn't able really to go all the way into it. And then being blessed to play in the NBA, it allows you to do a little more, figure a few more things out. I love it.
Was there any big, notable fashion purchase when you came into NBA money?
Not much in my first three years. But once I signed my deal, I said, "Okay, now I can do a little more on that side of things." I hired Vick, and that changed a lot for me. From being in the store shopping, not having to do those things, to him bringing a piece to me [so I can say], "Naw, I don't like that." That's the thing I like about it. It's not "Here, wear this." It's "What do you think about this? What do you think about that? And now let's put those together." It keeps that fun in it, it keeps the passion, it keeps the joy. It also keeps you informed as well, on what's going on, what's out there and kind of where things are moving to.
You've got to make sure that outfit is on point, walking into the arena. It feels like tunnel style is becoming a big deal in the NBA.
It's such a big thing. You get dressed; you walk to the bus; you walk into the arena; you walk in the locker room; you take it off; you go play the game; you put it back on; you either go home to take it right off, to an airplane, or to a hotel. So the big moment is the tunnel. That's what everybody sees. It's a big deal.
Do you have an outfit you look back on and you think, What was I thinking?
All the time. I still look back at some of my suits back then, and I was like, "Aw man, that was dope" then, and looking back on it [now], it was horrible. That happens so fast. You can look at a picture from two years ago and think, What the hell did I have on? Fashion is like [snap, snap]. I go back to my senior year of high school. Our homecoming dance. I had on some all-black Dickies, the aqua Jordan 8's with a tall black tee, but I had gone to someone in Saginaw and had them print the Jordan Jumpman logo in the aqua and purple to match the shoes. And that was my homecoming outfit. Big-ass T-shirt. Big-ass Dickies. With the aqua 8's. With the king crown. I was the homecoming king. That was a bad one. But then, I thought I was fresh.
This interview has been edited and condensed.


text: I've noticed some discussion on bluetooth headsets, and searched the forums to see what everyone thought about the Plantronics Voyager Pro but couldn't find it mentioned. I'm thrilled with this headset! I did a lot of research before I bought it; wanted to make sure I was getting the right one the first time, and I do believe I couldn't have found one better for the money. It's small and fits comfortably in the ear - I wear mine all day and can't even tell it's there. And I wear glasses. It's crystal clear. I can hear perfectly and people are surprised I'm using a headset. It has volume buttons, on/off switch, and call/answer button on the headset. I charge it at night and use it all day. Of course, I'm not actually talking on it all day long non-stop but it has never ran down on me. My Droid lays on my desk and when I get a call, I push the button on the headset to answer. Never have to touch the phone. I push the button again to end the call. I can walk outside to our garage - which is about 7 car lengths from the house (never was good at judging distances) and it beeps when I get out of range, which is at the garage. Then it beeps again to let me know when I'm back in range. It works great in the car, too. If you haven't tried it, take a look at it on the Plantronics site.

Our club has started a radio show! The Owning Our Ignorance Show debuts on Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. on WDBK. Tune in to 91.5 FM if you live near Blackwood, New Jersey.
The first episode is on humility. Club members Destiny Byrd, Cal Engime, Rachel McDonnell Mojica, and Jordan Smart discuss the role that humility plays in effective reasoning.
We'll post the episode here after it airs on the radio, along with links to subscribe to a podcast version of the show.
BEN: "I'm promoting a culture of skepticism. That's what I'm doing. Hey, just take a look at what you believe and what you think about stuff, and stab it in the throat. And if it lives, we're good."
AARON: "Stabbing it in the throat… you had me until then."
BEN: "I'm kind of an all-or-nothing guy."
AARON: "Yeah! 'Go big or go home. No fear.' I think you can always be wrong. Always. You never ever know. Like I act like I know all the time, but if you have a good solid point, I will listen to you and I might change my mind because of it. I think more people need to do that. More people need to realize that, even though you may be totally committed to this idea or ideology, and you might have so much invested in it, you can always be wrong. You don't know 100% anything…"
-Ben Parsons and Aaron Mason, episode 66 of The Grapes of Rad

I think there's an important connection between intellectual honesty and humility. A simple goal of the classes I teach is to get us all to recognize what counts as good evidence and what counts as bad evidence for a claim. In general, I see students get better at this throughout the semester. But this doesn't guarantee that we'll care about the difference once we figure it out.
Getting us to care is my real goal. We should care about good evidence. We should care about evidence and arguments because they get us closer to the truth. When we judge an argument to be overall good, THE POWER OF LOGIC COMPELS US to believe the conclusion. If we are presented with decent evidence for some claim, but still stubbornly disagree with this claim for no strong reason, we are just being irrational. Worse, we're effectively saying that the truth doesn't matter to us.
This means we should be open-minded. We should be willing to challenge ourselves, and let new evidence change our current beliefs. We should be open to the possibility that we've currently gotten something wrong. This is how comedian Todd Glass puts it:
Here are the first two paragraphs of an interesting article on this:
Last week, I jokingly asked a health club acquaintance whether he would change his mind about his choice for president if presented with sufficient facts that contradicted his present beliefs. He responded with utter confidence. "Absolutely not," he said. "No new facts will change my mind because I know that these facts are correct."
I was floored. In his brief rebuttal, he blindly demonstrated overconfidence in his own ideas and the inability to consider how new facts might alter a presently cherished opinion. Worse, he seemed unaware of how irrational his response might appear to others. It's clear, I thought, that carefully constructed arguments and presentation of irrefutable evidence will not change this man's mind.
Ironically, having extreme confidence in oneself is often a sign of ignorance. In many cases, such stubborn certainty is unwarranted.

"How experts learn, they really learn by looking at their mistakes. And this can be an unpleasant way to live, because who wants to get home after a long day's work and think about all the stuff you messed up that day. And yet that tends to be a very effective way to learn. As Beckett said: 'Fail. Fail better. Fail. Fail better.' It's that process of realizing that we all make mistakes. We all fail.
"I talk about it in terms of a variety of domains. I talk about it in terms of a backgammon player. After every match, even matches he wins, he goes back and looks at all the moves he did badly.
"I talk about a soap opera director who, after a day of shooting–a 16-hour day–he goes home and puts in the raw tape from that day and forces himself to make a list of thirty things he did wrong. Thirty mistakes so minor that no one else would notice them.
"Tom Brady: when Tom Brady watches game tape for hours every week, he's not looking for the passes he did well. He's looking for the passes he missed, for the open men he didn't find.
"We need to think about how we think about learning and see mistakes as the inevitable component of learning. You can't learn at a very fundamental level unless you get stuff wrong. And so not to fear our mistakes. Not to loathe them. Not to be so scared of making them. But to realize that we have to, in a sense, celebrate them. That they are an inevitable component of learning and you can't learn without them."
–Jonah Lehrer, on Open Source

I love to work in graphic design and one of my hobbies is to recreate posters of old concerts I went to (or in a few cases wish I did). For donations to raise money for my music projects, I will send you a set or sets of poster recreations that you choose below. You can also choose any 2 prints for a $10 donation. Thank you for your support.
- Grateful Dead Spring Tour 1990
- Hollywood Sportatorium 1980s series #1 (AC/DC, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Dio, Judas Priest, Kiss)
- Hollywood Sportatorium 1980s series #2 (Dio, Heart, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Rush)
- Telluride Bluegrass Festival 1974-1976
The following are a sample of the hundreds of posters I have designed as Marketing Director for the Goat Soup & Whiskey Tavern in Keystone, Colorado. In several instances I integrate public domain images into my designs. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing a customized collection of these posters.
The following I call "remakes" because they are not exactly reproductions since these posters never existed in the first place. I designed and created these representing concerts that I actually attended in South Florida as a teenager during the 1980s. They are based on my personal ticket stub collection and so far I am only about 20% through of the shows that I attended back then, so many more to go. Also, they are period-acurate representing the correct tours, press photos, logos, promoters, ticket prices, etc... Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing a customized collection of these posters.
Please check out my PAINTINGS too, thanks!

Hello everybody.
No images today, but a funny little story. When I've launch this blog I wanted first to create a website to show some of my toy projects. The name came quickly but after looking for the .com, the site was already taken and was for some kind of adult site, you see what I mean....So I've decide to do it with a blog here.
But it turned out that the site shuted down and the name was available again. I had to bid on an auction to get it. Funny as I get most of my toys on auctions, and I had to do the same for the website.
So now I've secure the site and redirected it here. Maybe one day there's going to be a real website, but that's for a future somewhere.
Welcome at FreeTime Toys
Hello everybody and welcome here. This blog will be dedicated to the few toys projects I will do during my free time. You can expect some toys rehab, some design adaptation and some brand new design.If you are here you probably know my taste for Jumbo Machinder, so most of my projects are related to those big guys. Hope you will enjoy it.

The New York Times (NYT) can be seen as an uncrowned king in journalism and a flagship of the US press.
In its 160-year history, the newspaper, famous for challenging yellow journalism and assailing the White House, even earned a gracious nickname of "The Grey Lady" for its black and white and serious style.
Known for its defiance of the powerful and the rich, the NYT has been long regarded as a national "newspaper of record". It has been occupying the moral high ground in the field of international communication. The newspaper always likes to talk about fairness, objectiveness and rationality and takes it as its own duty to defend freedom of the press.
However, despite such a good appearance of the newspaper, what can't be covered up is its notorious record of plagiarism and fabrication. Act of distorting facts is commonly seen in its reports about China and it misled readers through its reports ahead of the Iraq War in 2003.
In his book Hard News, Seth Mnookin, the American writer and journalist, clearly exposed how the NYT broke the codes of journalism ethics and betrayed the trust of the public.
Domestically, the Grey Lady is known for its audacity to challenge the White House and the Pentagon, but in foreign affairs, it serves as the bridgehead in touting the Uncle Sam, with deep-rooted prejudice in its report of global affairs.
The Iraq War exemplifies the falsely-touted fairness and objectivity in its report: the NYT claimed that Iraq is a country armed with WMD (weapons of mass destruction) before the breakout of the Iraq War, playing up the threatening from the Middle East country.

I love these particular jewel tones, which make the velvet texture even richer. I am wearing a toned down look here, but they will go so well with a more elegant look for all those holiday parties coming up in the upcoming weeks!
