Players: 1 to 2 Player Game | Release Date: 08/27/03 | Genre: Sports
Sony and 989 Sports made a triumphant return with the release of NFL GameDay 2004. This is the first time in several years where their NFL game has been very competitive with the other titles on the market. Leading the way in online features, 989's next goal was to continue improving their NCAA GameBreaker franchise. Unfortunately, their attempt came up just a little bit short.
Like its NFL counterpart, NCAA GameBreaker allows the player to use their SOCOM Headset or another USB Headset to call plays, formations, time outs, etc with the headset. Unfortunately, the same technology is being used. For those who haven't read my NFL GameDay 2004 review, the voice recognition technology is very buggy. A lot of the time, the game will not understand what you are trying to say. When this happens, NCAA GameBreaker 2004 prompts you to quit the game. It would have been nice to see an "unrecognized command" message appear on the screen instead. Also, while shouting out HIKE adds a bit of realism to the game, with the problems with the voice recognition technology, you are probably better off just hitting X to hike the ball.
The AI was one of the worst parts in NFL GameDay 2004. But nothing could have prepared me to see how much worse it is in NCAA GameBreaker 2004. While the developers over at 989 Sports and Red Zone were busy adding in mascots and cheerleaders that react to what is going on in the game, they forgot to make the AI do the same. Sometimes you can get away with poor AI in other genres. However, when you are playing against the computer in a sports title, it is a little bit difficult to hide behind poor AI. This is a critical area that has to be improved upon in next year's version.
Visually, NCAA GameBreaker 2004 is a little bit less sharp than NFL GameDay 2004. GameDay was already lagging behind the competition in the graphics department and it is very disappointing to see that this did not improve or at least stay the same in GameBreaker. That said, even with the complaints I have raised, GameBreaker 2004 is a step up from last year's version. It just isn't the quantum leap that GameDay took this season. With all the power the PS2 has and the graphics that the competition is pulling out in their versions of NCAA Football games, I expect a First Party Sony title to have very accurate stadiums and player models. Unfortunately this area of the game falls way below my standards.
On the audio side, Tim Brant does a pretty good job with the play-by-play. Along with Keith Jackson on the color commentary, this crew is as good as anyone else in the college football games. My only complaint is one that is mentioned in practically every sports game. Can we have more lines for the announcing crew? After several games, we begin to hear the same lines over and over again.
An important element of the college game is the crowd. Without the faithful support of your fellow students, how can a team even hope to gain the encouragement to go out each week and fight for the National Title? As was seen in last year's version, the crowd doesn't play much of a role and they stay relatively quiet. I would like to see some innovations with the crowd in the future. How about a home team that gets the crowd pumped up can make spectacular runs or catches? What if a road team is shutting down the home team and because the crowd is silenced, they can move the ball a little easier. These are the types of things that happen in the real game and it needs to be seen in the video game version of NCAA GameBreaker football. Maybe next year? We can only hope...
The best element of NCAA GameBreaker 2004 would have to be 989 Sports Online. This is the online community that will be seen in all games from 989 in the future. Despite other companies making attempts at creating online networks, they all pale in comparison. The only serious competitor is Microsoft's XSN that launched with NFL Fever 2004. However, since they don't have a college version, 989 Sports doesn't have to worry about direct competition... At least in the College Football realm.
It is very easy to sign in. You do this from the main menu and once you create a login from 989 Sports Online, you will be able to use it on every single 989 Sports game you play online.
If you are connected, as you play a game, real college scores will flash across your screen along with the virtual games taking place over the network. This adds a special touch to the community and makes you think you are competing for recognition from your peers.
Despite the awesome online features, NCAA GameBreaker 2004 is not quite ready to compete for the National Title. I have high hopes that they can fix the mistakes in this year's version and come back strong next year. However, I had the same feelings last year. While 989 Sports succeeded in doing this with NFL GameDay, I just hope they can spend as much time fine-tuning the NCAA GameBreaker franchise.
Until then, if you are still interested in the title, I recommend a weekend to see if the online features are worth the purchase price.

Part- Time Weekend Relief Houseparent
Role of Weekend Houseparent Couples
The part-time weekend relief houseparents* enable the full-time houseparents to have time away from work. Weekend houseparents work every other weekend from Friday at 6 p.m. to Sunday at 9:30 p.m. This position requires the couple to reside in the student home for the entire weekend and care for nine to 12 children of the same gender and similar ages (elementary, middle or high school).
RHPs are responsible for ensuring the student home is running smoothly and the students are engaged in healthy behaviors. This position is highly involved in the weekend activities of the students. Activities include, but are not limited to: preparing meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), assisting with household chores, and transporting students to and from various activities.
RHPs also plan and participate in healthy, student-focused activities, such as off-campus trips to cultural, entertainment, and sporting events; campus activities; and fun activities in the home. Attending the on-campus Sunday morning chapel service with students is required.
The relief houseparent position requires RHP couples to be highly engaged with students and to effectively collaborate with the full-time houseparents. RHPs must have excellent interpersonal skills, a high degree of organization and a great deal of flexibility. Balancing the needs of their own personal lives and families into the student homes is essential.
Compensation and Benefits
Relief houseparents receive:
- Compensation of $758 per weekend, per couple.
- Private apartment and meals for the weekends on duty.
- Eligibility to participate in retirement plan (TIAA-CREF).
- Use of athletic facilities (gym, tennis courts, ice skating rink).
Position Requirements:
The following criteria must be met for eligibility:
- Couple must be legally married at least three years at the time of application.
- Both must be at least 27 years of age.
- Must be available to work initially two consecutive weekends for training and then work every other weekend subsequently.
- Couple cannot have more than two dependent children in residence.
- Driving records in good standing.
- Must be able to successfully complete extensive clearance process.
- Must be able to meet health and physical requirements of the position.
- Prior experience working or volunteering with children preferred.

Duck Season 2015- 2016 is Over
Outdoors Columnist Back in November 2015, duck season was ready to open and a state and region of duck hunters were excited and ready to hunt.
Arkansas Game & Fish and Ducks Unlimited both said the batch was down some but the hunting should still be above average. It did not turn out that way for many hunters.
There was a few hot spots and honey-holes, but there are many disappointed hunters. The AGFC said this last aerial survey was not as good as the survey a month ago, even with the last cold snap.
I spent the last four days down at the 101 Club with my son Keith, and it was two good days, one not very good, and the last day, we did not fire a shot. We had three guests from Louisiana and Kentucky.
They came a long way to not have good hunts. The 101 harvested about half a normal year. The first part of season was hot and dry, then the high waters from the rivers spread out the ducks and not enough cold weather to get new ducks.
Lets hope for a better season next year.
For the dedicated hunters, there is still a month to hunt rabbits, squirrels, and bow hunt deer. There is also hog hunting. There appears to be more than enough pigs running around in the woods eating deer food and wallowing out the roads and trails.
They do make a mess.
Some hunters use traps and others do hog dogs. Both can be exciting and the bacon from woodland hogs is outstanding with a nice nutty taste. If you are into wild pork chops, give me a call. I would like to go along with you.
Until the last few years, we have always had a squirrel dog. This can be any kind of dog that likes to chase a squirrel up a tree and the bark, telling you, "Here he is." The term baying means barking and treeing means he has put the squirrel up the tree.
Quite often the squirrel is very hard to see, especially when there are leaves on the trees. It usually takes two hunters, one on each side of the tree, "turning the squirrel." This is a great way to start young hunters. They do not have to be quiet and can talk and make a lot of racket in the woods. When the squirrel is spotted, the fun really begins. If any of my readers has a squirrel dog, give me a call and take about the hunts.
Rabbits with a good pack of beagles is a wonderful way to hunt and a game bag full of swampers can get heavy in a hurry. Fried rabbit is a fine end to a good hunt. Rabbit hunters, call me.
Quail season goes out this weekend and while there are not as many quail hunters as in the past, these dog men really enjoy a "Gentleman's Sport." I understand the quail population on Crowley's Ridge is improving. Many years ago I shot many quail near Colt, Arkansas, on the Ridge.
Duck season is not quite over. This Saturday is Youth Day. Take some kids to that blind. Adults can not shoot but they can call and cheer the good shots.
You will have more fun than that youngin. That first duck mounted by Lakeside Taxidermy sure looks good on the wall.
The hunting story will bet better with age.
Enjoy the rest of the hunting season. Take that young hunter.

Why Diana Nijboer started EduMais
When I left my home in The Netherlands to live and work in Qatar in 2006, could I have imagined that it was the beginning of a journey that would take me beyond the Middle East, to Rio de Janeiro and to founding EduMais in 2016?
Certainly not, but what a ride!
After arriving here in 2012, I started volunteering, working with underprivileged kids. I volunteered within different NGOs to experience volunteering life and to learn what works, what is needed and how to organize.
I fell in love with these talented children and the people in the communities. The respect, the admiration for their resilience keeps me going.
It's pertinent, given EduMais's focus on education, that I share a little of my own, for just as I hope it will help the children we work with, education has certainly been a hugely positive influence on my life.
I have a bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management and a master in science in Business Administration. I'm a Certified Professional and Life Coach and Certified Positive Discipline Trainer for parents and teachers, and a member of the Positive Discipline Association.
The key words here are 'Positive Discipline'. My biggest "a-ha eureka" moment came when I met Glenda Montgomery (CPDLT) in 2014. We were sharing ideas about creating an after-school program for underprivileged children in Pavão-Pavãozinho and Cantagalo, the communities in which EduMais now works. This conversation brought Positive Discipline into my life. The more I got to know the more I became convinced this was the methodology we needed to become successful if we really wanted to make a difference in the lives of these underprivileged children and to let them thrive.
In the book Positive Discipline by Jane Nelsen, I read: "Where do we come up with the crazy idea that in order to make a child DO better, first we have to make them FEEL bad?."
This totally made sense to me. I know myself the impact of domestic physical and emotional childhood trauma and sexual abuse. Has anyone ever felt better after being scolded or beaten?
There are so many more options that are non-punitive and that teach mutual respect or can coax children to better learn and interact. One of the first things I practiced was to be firm and kind, at the same time. Creating guidelines on how we could create a safe and fun environment with a focus on learning new skills.
Inspired by the guiding principles of Positive Discipline, in 2016 I started dreaming of have a bigger impact, to bring more education to the children of the communities, and this is how EduMais started.
We now have 15 volunteers from all over the world and we are impacting 200 children.
Guiding these traumatized underprivileged children in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro is a tough job, it is not intuitive and easy to do, as many believe. I can't stress enough the importance and value of our volunteers. Volunteering with us is incredibly hands on and rewarding. Our volunteers are taught the principles of Positive Discipline and how to work with traumatized children. We highlight how living in traumatizing environments impacts behavior and how to lead kids towards positive and successful behaviors.
We will continue to support these communities, to help children living in traumatized situations to realise their dreams and ambitions, so perhaps they can go on their own journeys of learning and discovery.

Great work!

What an inspiring story of finding meaning in life through contribution and service. I had no idea you are growing so much and have 15 volunteers, helping over 200 children. It is only to continue growing. So glad to share the PD ride with you, my friend.

Located in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Los Altos, this just-completed new home combines a traditional European façade with contemporary open concept living. Soaring vaulted ceilings with multiple operational skylights invite abundant natural light, creating an expansive ambiance. This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home, with the master suite on the main level, offers the convenience of single-story living, while an additional lower level is perfect for family members and guests. To top it all off, this exceptional home is just one block to the Village and has access to excellent Los Altos schools.
Located in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains, Los Altos is one of the Bay Area's premier communities, due in large part to the city's natural beauty and convenient location between San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Originally an agricultural town with many summer cottages, Los Altos is now a thriving bedroom community known for its beautiful parks and tree-lined streets. Country lanes run throughout the town and are lined with cozy ranch-style houses as well as larger, custom Mediterranean, contemporary, and traditional-style homes. To help maintain the small-town feel of the city, commercial zones within Los Altos are strictly limited to the downtown area and the small shopping and office parks lining Foothill Expressway and El Camino Real. Bucolic charm and unmatched location make Los Altos a great place to call home.

27: jon
The sun glinted overhead, bathing the earth below with warmth and life that burned away the last remnants of early morning dew. A pleasantly cool breeze rolled out of the north, carrying with it the distinct smell of freshly mowed grass, and the sky was a pure, clear blue that seemed to stretch on forever. For June in Ohio, the day was quite comfortable, not too hot or too cold, and the lack of clouds for as far as the eye could see promised that the night would be equally lovely.
In the distance, a cheerful tune could be heard, and Jonathan Archer continued his slow walk toward the source of the music. Porthos was several steps ahead of him, ears twitching as he took in the unfamiliar sights, sounds, and scents. Every few moments, the beagle would dart forward until his leash would not allow him to go any further. Most times, the dog would then pause and give Archer an intent look, as if to say 'hurry up,' but on at least two occasions, Porthos rushed back to join his master, seemingly intent on tripping Jon with the leash.
The sidewalk led them closer to the music, now clearly identifiable as ancient jazz tunes, and Jon's steps faltered as he finally caught sight of their destination. A fairly new-looking complex dominating the entire block, the Cochrane Academy was one of the region's most prestigious high schools in the entire state, despite only having been in existence for fifteen years. Catering to the top percentile of students in the region, it had been Elizabeth Cutler's alma mater.
And now, it was the site of her long-overdue memorial service.
Over a month had passed since her tragic but heroic death – forty days exactly, to be precise – and Starfleet bureaucracy had finally allowed her body to be removed from stasis and returned to her grieving parents. When Jon had learned of the planned service, he had contacted the Cutlers and requested permission to attend. At first, he had feared they would blame him for their daughter's death – he blamed himself, after all – and had prepared himself for justly deserved recriminations from them. Instead, her parents had told him they were glad he could make it, especially since the late Elizabeth had spoken so glowingly about her commanding officer in the infrequent letters she sent.
That in and of itself nearly made Jon weep.
He was still coming to grips with his unexpected exoneration for the incident that claimed Trip and T'Pol's lives, no matter how many times he went over the data himself. The official support of his actions at Ekos by the Vulcan High Command occasionally caused him to consider pinching himself, though Archer knew it had only been politics, especially after Admiral Forrest announced the identity of the new "diplomatic and liaison" officer who would be shipping out with Enterprise when she left Earth again. Part of Jon was openly aghast at the idea of Ambassador Soval being aboard the NX-01 for longer than a few days, although many of his concerns were eased by the grumpy Vulcan's utter lack of bridge rank or authority, not to mention Soval's evident dislike of the idea himself. He was to be an 'advisor,' nothing more, though Archer knew that was a fancy way of saying 'minder.' Given their many disagreements in the past, Jon had little doubt that he had many personality clashes and arguments to look forward to.
Still, as a replacement for Subcommander T'Pol, Soval was certainly no improvement.
"Captain!" the voice of Lieutenant Commander Reed brought Jon back to the present and he gave the approaching armoury officer a nod of greeting. Archer wasn't surprised to see the other man – through the grapevine, he had heard that the crew of Enterprise was going to be attending en masse to pay their respects for their fallen comrade who had died trying to protect an innocent – but he was taken aback by the obnoxious, almost Trip-like shirt that Reed was wearing.
Clearly, Malcolm had taken to heart the Cutlers' insistence that this gathering be treated as a celebration of their daughter's life rather than a wake.
"Glad you could make it, sir," Reed said as he approached. Porthos barked several times and lunged forward to offer his own eager greetings to the armoury officer.
"Meeting went longer than I expected it to," Jon replied with a forced smile as Reed knelt awkwardly to pet the beagle. "Malcolm," he said, causing the lieutenant commander to look up. "Admiral Forrest rejected my appeal," Archer revealed grimly. "When we ship out next week, Commander Hernandez will be my first officer."
"Yes, sir." The armoury officer shrugged, as if the implied insult in his professionalism by Starfleet Command didn't bother him, but Jon could see well hidden anger in the other man's eyes.
"It's nothing personal, Malcolm," he rushed to explain. "Command is grooming her to take over the Challenger when she launches in two years and want her to get a little more experience under her belt."
"And they think I'm not qualified," Reed guessed, rising to his feet as he spoke. They began walking toward the school slowly as they continued their conversation.
"If they think that," Archer said with a wry smile, "then they're more foolish than we thought." He clapped a hand on Reed's shoulder. "You'll still be third-in-command," he added, "and I'll be relying on you more than ever since Erika is so … green."
"You can count on me, sir." Malcolm snorted in amusement. "I guess it was too much to ask," he said, "expecting to get full commander so soon after my last promotion." Shaking his head, he added, "The officer corps would have gone ballistic."
"They still might when you make commander a year or so from now," Jon promised. The brightening of Reed's expression was wonderful to behold, and instantly made Archer wonder if this was the first time since Trip's death two months earlier that the armoury officer hadn't looked like he had swallowed a rock.
"Any news on Commander Hess?" Reed asked abruptly, his tone pitched low. Jon's good mood faded.
"Starfleet Command has transferred her back to Earth," he replied. "Officially, it's a lateral promotion. She'll be taking over from Kelby aboard the Columbia." Malcolm nodded.
"And unofficially?"
"PTSD," Jon said sadly. "Phlox told me that it's a wonder we haven't had more members of the crew react like that, what with the amount of stress we've been under since Enterprise launched." He shook his head. "I wish there was more I could do for her," he admitted, "but the doctors insist that this transfer is necessary for her recovery."
"She'll be missed," Malcolm declared.
"Who will?" a feminine voice asked. Jon glanced to the source – an approaching young woman with strong features and a familiar-sounding accent – and his breath caught slightly in surprise.
"Hello, Lizzie," he said as Elizabeth Tucker drew closer. She smiled.
"Hello, Jon." There was no anger in her voice or expression, only a visible sadness that Archer recognized all too well. The youngest Tucker sibling stepped around the Reed-Porthos obstruction – the beagle was once more trying to get the armoury officer to pay attention to him and Malcolm didn't seem to know how to react – and wrapped her arms around Jon in a friendly hug. "You've looked better," she commented wryly.
"Felt better too," Archer replied. She gave him an understanding look. "How are your parents?" he asked.
"Taking it one day atta time," Lizzie replied. "Dad's still pretty torn up," she continued, her eyes watering slightly, "but nobody blames you." She blinked. "Well, nobody but Melissa," Lizzie added in reference to Trip's older sister, "and you know how she is."
"I do," Jon said. Many had been the times that Trip regaled him of the eldest Tucker sibling's radical politics and her insistence that Starfleet was Earth's new imperialism cloaked in the guise of exploration. "And how are you doing?"
"As well as can be expected," she answered. "I try to keep busy so I don't have to think about it." She watched with an amused smile as Porthos continued pawing at Malcolm's leg. "Trip wouldn't want me to waste my life grievin' for him, especially since he died doin' something he loved." When the beagle whined loudly and piteously at Reed, she laughed. "Scratch him behind the ears, Mal," she instructed. The armoury officer gave her a sour look that seemed far more familiar than Archer expected.
"You two know each other?" he asked. Once again, Lizzie laughed.
"Yep," she said. "Seems my idiot brother asked Mister Reed here to look after me if something ever happened to him."
"We were drunk at the time," Malcolm said stiffly, although he knelt to scratch Porthos' ears as instructed. "And in my defense," he added, "I also asked him to look after my sister if duty called." Lizzie grunted at the nonchalance in Reed's reference to death, but Jon nodded in understanding. For men and women of their calling, dying in the line of duty was always a possibility, and no one knew when it would happen or how. Trip's death – and T'Pol's – was ample evidence of that.
"We ran into each other last week when I was in San Francisco bein' wooed by Starfleet Command," Lizzie said, crouching to take over the petting of Porthos.
"I understand congratulations are in order," Jon said, referencing Command's hiring of Lizzie to design a new memorial in honor of the members of Starfleet who had died over the years. It was primarily a political move, since having Trip's sister on the project would be fantastic public relations in the wake of the tragedy, but having seen some of her past work, Archer knew she was up for the task.
"Thank you," she replied. "That's why I'm here, actually. I wanted to get some insight into who this Elizabeth Cutler was." She smirked. "I've even talked your stuffy admirals into arrangin' a fact-findin' tour of Vulcan. I'd love to incorporate some of their architecture into my design."
"T'Pol would like that, I think," Jon said.
"I hope so," Lizzie murmured. "I love Trip," she added, "but I don't think he'd approve if I turned somethin' like this into a shrine to his memory." The sadness resurfaced in her eyes. "I'm not the only one who's lost a loved one," she said.
"Wherever he is right now," Jon said, "I'm sure he'd approve."
"Captain Archer!" Rudolph – 'call me Rudy' – Cutler called out in greeting as they drew closer to the entrance of the high school gym. His eyes were bright and shiny with a mixture of grief and contentment, as if he had reached some sort of equilibrium over the recent tragedy afforded to his family. "I'm glad you could make it," Rudy said.
"Call me Jon," Archer replied as he offered his hand. "I just wish it were under better circumstances." They shook – Rudy had a strong grip – and Jon gestured to two people with him. "My armoury officer, Malcolm Reed, and Elizabeth Tucker."
"An honor, sir," Reed said. He held himself erect and straight. "I'm sorry I failed your daughter, sir," the Brit began, but Cutler waved it off.
"We're here to celebrate Liz's life," Rudy interrupted, "not mourn how she passed." He blinked away several tears as he continued. "Your Admiral Forrest let us read the mission report you filed, Commander Reed," the older man said, "and my wife and I know you couldn't have done more than you did." Wiping away an errant tear, Cutler gave Lizzie a glance. "Tucker?" he asked. "As in Commander Tucker?"
"He was my brother," Lizzie replied softly. The two gave each other a look that carried with it understanding and shared pain. Rudy's lower lip trembled slightly as he fought to control his emotions, and Jon could see an identical reaction on the face of Trip's sister. She took a half step closer to Malcolm, and the armoury officer shot a 'what do I do now?' look in Archer's direction.
"Come in," Rudy said before Jon could offer any suggestions – or decide if he should offer any – and preceded them into the bustling gym where the rest of Elizabeth Cutler's family waited. Malcolm and Lizzie followed him, the lieutenant commander hesitantly giving the youngest Tucker sibling a quick, supportive hug. Breathing deeply, Archer pushed down his own grief, knowing that he needed to be strong for everyone inside. He would be their rock, no matter how difficult it may be personally, and would gladly do whatever necessary if it would make them feel better in this time of crisis.
And then, he stepped into the gym.

My last final exam was written on Tuesday afternoon and after a proper nights rest, it was only natural to go out the next day (and the day after that and the day after that)! If this summer is anything like the summer before, my friends and I will be eating out often and trying new foods. I can't wait!
Our first post-exam adventure led us to Guu, a popular Japanese izakaya-styled restaurant. Whether it is the first time eating at Guu or you are a frequent visitor I think you would be amazed at how loud it is in there. The moment we opened the door we were warmly greeted with waves of shouting from the server at the door to the back where the kitchen was. I liked watching reactions from people when they are greeted like that. My favorite was seeing them full of surprise mixed with uncontrollable laughter.
The menu consisted of many small items and a few mid-sized dishes for, as my friends would say, "getting full". But really, with a couple of small dishes you could get equally full. We learned that the hard way. :P My friends had been there before so they ordered and I tried everything. It was delicious!
I had to be reminded to take these photos! I was so into eating most of the time, I didn't even bother to pick up the camera. Hahaha

The name "sojoo" roots from "this is so Joany". Somehow in my convoluted thoughts, the name makes sense. On this blog you will find a collection of photos from my every day life. Hope you enjoy and stay for a little while.

Does one microbiome make a difference? How is it affected by the health status or lifestyle? As we endeavor the uncharted jungle of the human microbiome, many questions arise and this complex interconnection is not trivial to decipher. While time is limited, IMGMs enteralis analysis service enables you to spend most of your time exploring.
enteralis is a turnkey solution for gut microbiome analysis. It helps customers to tackle crucial decisions during their microbiome analysis by providing the best available tools. We have developed our metagenomics service to a stable routine, offering fast turnaround times of 10 working days for single samples. IMGM's proven expertise with metagenomics projects also enables us to offer upscaled solutions for big studies.
enteralis is developed in cooperation with the MVZ Martinsried and Smartgene in order to combine high levels of medical, scientific and bioinformatics expertise to provide customers with the best options for microbiome analysis.
Sample kits, medical guidance and reporting are provided by the medical experts from the MVZ Martinsried, holding vast expertise in human genetic and microbiological analyses. Sequencing analysis is performed at IMGM using validated protocols for human gut microbiome analysis. Bioinformatic analysis uses the 16S centroids method developed by Smartgene, which is used for microbial identification since 1998.
With the expertise of three dedicated partners, enteralis combines fast turnaround times with validated high quality methods and extensive analysis. As enteralis addresses only the analysis of human gut samples, further products are under development for the different niches of the human microbiome.
Every starter meant a contribution to a good cause!On July 14, 2016, IMGM Laboratories participated in the B2Run series in Munich's Olympiapark with a team of 7 employees completing the 6.2 km circuit.
Low fetal fraction is one of the most common causes of false negative results of next generation sequencing (NGS) -based non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Therefore, it is very important to assure that the maternal cell-free DNA contains enough fetal DNA for analysis of genetic anomalies. Current NGS-based NIPT analyses do not include quantification of fetal fraction for result confirmation.Therefore, IMGM developed a methylation-specific qPCR assay in cooperation with the MVZ Martinsried which detects as little as 4% of fetal DNA in only 1.5 ng of maternal plasma DNA. CFFQuant is performed twice a week to guarantee a short turn-around time of in average three working days. Quantification of the fetal DNA fraction is not an add-on for NIPT but a requirement for reliable results.
IMGM is a leading genomic service provider with a focus on Biomarker Discovery, Biodistribution, Pharmacogenetics and Metagenomics. With NGS, microarray and qPCR state-of-the-art technology as well as competency in complex data analysis the company offers tailored solutions to customers from pharma, diagnostics, biotech and academia. Quality, experience, motivation and a strong background in molecular genetics and medical diagnostics make IMGM a valuable partner for genetic analysis in pre-clinical and clinical studies.

Islamic militants are carrying out a wave of ethnic cleansing against minorities in northern Iraq, BBC News reported Tuesday, citing Amnesty International.
They have turned the region into a killing field, the human rights group said.
It said it has proof that several mass killings took place in the northern region of Sinjar in August. Two of the deadliest took place when Islamic State fighters raided villages and killed hundreds on Aug. 3 and 15.
"Groups of men and boys including children as young as 12 from both villages were seized by militants, taken away and shot," the British-based group said.
On Monday, the United Nations said it is sending a team to Iraq to investigate "acts of inhumanity on an unimaginable scale".
Deputy Human Rights Commissioner Flavia Pansieri warned that the militants are targeting Christian, Yazidi, Turkmen, Shabak, Kaka'i, Sabean and Shia communities.
The militants and allied Sunni rebels have seized large swathes of Iraq and Syria.

Kelly Updike for PCNRC, A Fundraiser's Journey series
It couldn't be ignored: I received an email last week from a board member that … get this … contained a link about helping board members be better fundraisers!
Wow! This was a first for me. I had to share this great news with you and, of course, with my own board members.
To top it off, I just got survey results from the League of Historic American Theatres that said the No. 1 issue for nonprofit directors is that their board members need to be better fundraisers. And the No. 1 issue with the board chairs is that they worry about fundraising for the nonprofit theaters. Hmmm, coincidence? I think not.
So, everybody cares about fundraising. How do we connect the dots? The article my board member sent over gives some simple ways to begin immersing board members into the fundraising pool. The first two – make their own gift and thank others – are easy to implement. Locally, the YWCA of Northeast Indiana is superb, memorable and thus unique in using a board member call-a-thon.
The last few tips are, I think, pretty hard to do. Estate planning requires some needed prep work by the organization. For #4, I have found that asking board members to invite their friends still gets mixed results for our organization. This is not a tactic for everyone. The fifth idea, writing about their passion, is made easy when you "interview" the board member and write up the testimonial or story in your newsletter and appeals.
As you involve board members in fundraising, be sure to start with the appropriate board committee (it could be executive, governance, fundraising/development), include fundraising as a strategic topic on every or most board meeting agendas and give board members the messaging and time frames they need to do these tasks simply.
I also suggest you find a champion or two on the board who will assertively remind (dare we say challenge) fellow board members to do their fiscal duty. The staff can plan and implement. The board's leaders should inspire, remind and hold their colleagues accountable. Can you guess which board member I'll be sure to include at our organization?!
By the way, here's that article:

This battle is too tiring, too hard, and too painful for me to get through with my level, my capacity, my capability. Everything that I do now that's because I have no other choice. I have to eat, sleep, smile, and gather myself, even when I don't want to do so. I need to push myself, use every last of the strength to keep moving forward and to face another battle.
This is too much.
My parents are the only reason for me to keep holding on, to keep fighting this battle. But at the time like this… I can't even looking at my father's eyes, I can't even talk or share anything to my mom. It's too painful imagining that I might fail them (for the umpteenth time).
The hardest part of choosing to be strong is keeping the spirit to stay strong. "The most important thing is how to dance in the storm."

Intelligent 4WD vs Intelligent AWD
Intelligent 4WD
What sets the Intelligent 4WD technology apart from other drivetrains is that it focuses more on extreme off-road situations and adventures. Some of these terrains may include mud, ruts, sand, snow, gravel, grass, and even dirt. The Intelligent 4WD transmits power and torque equally on all four wheels to increase the traction while driving. Another great advantage of 4WD is that you can control how much traction the vehicle uses with the flip of a switch. You can choose between a high or low 4WD setting, depending on the kind of roads you're driving.
Intelligent AWD
Whereas 4WD focuses on extreme off-road driving, the technology behind the Intelligent AWD is more geared towards everyday handling and traction on city roads and highways. The Intelligent AWD is always on because it's the main drivetrain of the vehicle, which distributes power to both the front and rear axles before reaching each individual wheel. This is perfect for driving in the city because it's versatile enough to be used for both the winter and the summer.

The authenticity leader: the lynchpin to setting the moral compass
May 2018 | SPECIAL REPORT: BUSINESS STRATEGY & OPERATIONS
Financier Worldwide Magazine
May 2018 Issue
Authenticity is rapidly becoming the most important aspect of effective leadership. The reason why lies in what makes an authentic leader. What are the characteristics of the authentic leader? What is the cause and effect of this type of leadership? And is authenticity inherent or learned?
If one looks in the dictionary for a definition of authenticity, words like credible, reliable, trustworthy, dependable, honest and authoritative are all there. So let us delve deeper into authenticity by taking a look at each of these qualities.
Trust is the basic building block of any relationship. Without trust, there is no relationship. Trust is the glue that holds relationships together.
Leadership is the cause of a lack of trust, as well as the depth of any existing trust. It is a choice, but it must be an informed choice. Leadership should not be based on what one person thinks is right or wrong. The authentic leader knows that the process must be an inclusive one, derived from cause and effect, for it is in this process that trust develops.
There are a number of questions we can reflect on each day to help build trust with other people. Did I practice any virtues today? Was I more positive than negative in my attitude and behaviour? Did I treat people with dignity and respect? How did I practice justice today? Did I make my organisation better because I was there today?
How does a leader become credible in the eyes of his or her people? Remember that 'people listen with their eyes, not with their ears'. What one does as a leader is more important than what one says. Credibility is in the behaviour of the leader, as credibility is a result of trust. This is where, like it or not, perceptions determine attitudes and attitudes determine behaviour. Rightly or wrongly, it just is. So, to be credible is to be believed. To be credible is also to be reliable, sincere and dependable. The test for credibility is in how consistent, affirming and empowering a leader is, and how consistently he or she acts like it.
Think about these questions. What really makes you a credible leader? How would you know? Is that what others think or say about you? Did you even ask your people this question? The reality is, just because you think you are credible does not really mean that you are. The only thing that makes you credible is how consistently you treat people with respect and openness.
The only quality that actually builds reliability is being consistent. The question is: consistent in what?
Think about your leadership style. Do you keep confidentiality? Do you keep your word when you say you will? Are you consistent with the rules, the modus operandi and the treatment of your people? Do you make exceptions to the rule without explanation? When you say, 'you can trust me', can they? What would that look like to you or to the other person? How do you empower your people? What does that look like in the workplace?
The real issue with being credible is that it takes time, effort, sacrifice and perseverance to build it, and only one questionable incident to destroy it. Reliability is a quality a leader wants from his or her employees. They deserve the same from their leader.
Can anyone be truly honest about everything? While this is a tough question to ask, it is a quality that leaders want from their people and their people have a right to expect from their leader. But do they get it?
Dishonesty is often motivated by fear. Fear of what someone may do, think, say or not do, not say and so on. How do you, as a leader, handle the 'fear factor' with your people? It is easy to say, 'please tell me the truth'. The tough part is when you do not agree with them or take offence. What the leader does next is crucial to which way the working relationship goes. If that answer is found unacceptable by the leader and the leader disputes the information given, what is the incentive for others to tell their truth when asked?
As a leader, remember that everyone speaks their truth. It may not be the truth, but it is their truth. Therefore, at this point, it is valid and honest. How a leader responds is the key to whether or not honesty is appreciated and becomes 'the way we operate around here'. Usually the leader gets only one chance to prove that honesty is appreciated; and that is the first time. After that, word spreads, positively or negatively, based on how the leader responded.
Power can be a 'maker or breaker' of authenticity. In our experience, there are two types of power: authoritative and authoritarian.
Authoritarian power empowers oneself at the cost of the other. It is self serving as it uses fear to get obedience. It commands and does not invite. To command is to settle for behaviour change. No value change or understanding is needed.
Authoritative power empowers others through service for others. They are chosen by their peers. They do not force themselves, but gain our trust. They invite and do not command. To invite is to recognise the value of the other person.
We each have experience of these in our school education experience. For example, can you remember the worst teacher you ever had? That teacher was often a reflection of authoritarian power. Relationships were not as important as covering the assigned material.
Now think about the best teacher you ever had. This teacher was probably an example of authoritative power. They were empowering, took time for you, made you feel that you were more important than finishing the work, raised the bar of what you could really accomplish, were tough but fair and had a sense of humour, among other things. What happened when this teacher was absent? Morale took a hit because the leader was gone.
This may be a simplification of the distinction between the two types of power, but the message is clear and has leadership implications.
Authentic leadership requires, if not demands, only authoritative power. The question is: how does one get to that stage of leadership? The answer is by fostering trustworthiness, credibility, honesty and reliability.

Lower Extremity Fractures (081-831-1034) Figures 4-17 through 4-22
show how to apply splints to immobilize fractures of the lower extremities. Although
padding is not visible in some of the figures, it is preferable to apply padding
along the injured part for the length of the splint and especially where it touches
any bony parts of the body.
Jaw, Collarbone, and Shoulder Fractures a. Apply a cravat to immobilize
a fractured jaw as illustrated in Figure 4-23. Direct all bandaging support to
the top of the casualty's head, not to the back of his neck. If incorrectly placed,
the bandage will pull the casualty's jaw back and interfere with his breathing.
with lower jaw (mandible) fractures cannot be laid flat on their backs because
facial muscles will relax and may cause an airway obstruction.b. Apply
two belts, a sling, and a cravat to immobilize a fractured collarbone, as illustrated
in Figure 4-24.c.
Apply a sling and a cravat to immobilize a fractured or dislocated shoulder, using
the technique illustrated in Figure 4-25
Spinal Column Fractures (081-831-1000) It is often impossible to
be sure a casualty has a fractured spinal column. Be suspicious of any back injury,
especially if the casualty has fallen or if his back has been sharply struck or
bent. If a casualty has received such an injury and does not have feeling in his
legs or cannot move them, you can be reasonably sure that he has a severe back
injury which should be treated as a fracture. Remember, if the spine is fractured,
bending it can cause the sharp bone fragments to bruise or cut the spinal cord
and result in permanent paralysis (Figure 4-26A). The spinal column must maintain
a swayback position to remove pressure from the spinal cord.a. If the Casualty
Is Not to Be Transported (081-831-1000) Until Medical Personnel Arrive—
Caution him not to move. Ask him if he is in pain or if he is unable to move any
part of his body. Leave him in the position in which he is found. DO
NOT move any part of his body. Slip a blanket, if he is lying face up,
or material of similar size, under the arch of his back to support the spinal
column in a swayback position (Figure 4-26 B). If he is lying face down, DO NOT
put anything under any part of his body.b.
If the Casualty Must Be Transported to A Safe LocationBefore Medical Personnel
Arrive— And if the casualty is in a face-up position, transport
him by litter or use a firm substitute, such as a wide board or a flat door longer
than his height. Loosely tie the casualty's wrists together over his waistline,
using a cravat or a strip of cloth. Tie his feet together to prevent the accidental
dropping or shifting of his legs. Lay a folded blanket across the litter where
the arch of his back is to be placed. Using a four-man team (Figure 4-27), place
the casualty on the litter without bending his spinal column or his neck.o
The number two, three, and four men position themselves on one side
of the casualty; all kneel on one knee along the side of the casualty. The number
one man positions himself to the opposite side of the casualty. The number two,
three, and four men gently place their hands under the casualty. The
number one man on the opposite side places his hands under the injured part to
assist.o When all four men are in position to lift, the number two man commands,
"PREPARE TO LIFT" and then, "LIFT." All men, in unison, gently lift the casualty
about 8 inches. Once the casualty is lifted, the number one man recovers
and slides the litter under the casualty, ensuring that the blanket is
in proper position. The number one man then returns to his original lift
position (Figure 4-27).o When the number two man commands, "LOWER CASUALTY,"
all men, in unison, gently lower the casualty onto the litter. And if
the casualty is in a face-down position, he must be transported in this same position.
The four-man team lifts him onto a regular or improvised litter, keeping the spinal
column in a swayback position. If a regular litter is used, first place a folded
blanket on the litter at the point where the chest will be placed.
Neck Fractures (081-831-1000) A fractured neck is extremely dangerous.
Bone fragments may bruise or cut the spinal cord just as they might in a fractured
back.a. If the Casualty Is Not to Be Transported (081-831-1000) Until Medical
Personnel Arrive— Caution him not to move. Moving may cause death.
Leave the casualty in the position in which he is found. If his neck/head is in
an abnormal position, immediately immobilize the neck/head. Use the procedure
stated below.o Keep the casualty's head still, if he is lying face up, raise
his shoulders slightly, and slip a roll of cloth that has the bulk of a bath towel
under his neck (Figure 4-28). The roll should be thick enough to arch his neck
only slightly, leaving the back of his head on the ground. DO NOT bend his neck
or head forward. DO NOT raise or twist his head. Immobilize the casualty's head
(Figure 4-29). Do this by padding heavy objects such as rocks or his boots and
placing them on each side of his head. If it is necessary to use boots, first
fill them with stones, gravel, sand, or dirt and tie them tightly at the top.
If necessary, stuff pieces of material in the top of the boots to secure the contents.
o DO NOT move the casualty if he is lying face down. Immobilize the head/neck
by padding heavy objects and placing them on each side of his head. DO NOT put
a roll of cloth under the neck. DO NOT bend the neck or head, nor roll the casualty
onto his back.b. If the Casualty Must be Prepared for Transportation Before
Medical Personnel Arrive— And he has a fractured neck, at least
two persons are needed because the casualty's head and trunk must be moved in
unison. The two persons must work in close coordination (Figure 4-30) to avoid
bending the neck. Place a wide board lengthwise beside the casualty.
It should extend at least 4 inches beyond the casualty's head and feet (Figure
4-30 A). If the casualty is lying face up, the number one
man steadies the casualty's head and neck between his hands. At the same time
the number two man positions one foot and one knee against the board to
prevent it from slipping, grasps the casualty underneath his shoulder and hip,
and gently slides him onto the board (Figure 4-30 B). If the casualty
is lying face down, the number one man steadies the casualty's head
and neck between his hands, while the number two man gently rolls the casualty
over onto the board (Figure 4-30 C). The number one man continues
to steady the casualty's head and neck. The number two man simultaneously
raises the casualty's shoulders slightly, places padding under his neck, and immobilizes
the casualty's head (Figures 4-30 D, and E). The head may be immobilized with
the casualty's boots, with stones rolled in pieces of blanket, or with other material.
Secure any improvised supports in position with a cravat or strip of cloth extended
across the casualty's forehead and under the board (Figure 4-30 D).
Lift the board onto a litter or blanket in order to transport the casualty (Figure

Saudi Al Rajhi REIT fund raises $197m in IPO
RIYADH, January 17, 2018
Al Rajhi Capital, one of the leading providers of financial services in Saudi Arabia, said it had successfully closed the initial public offering (IPO) of its REIT (real estate investment trust) fund raising SR740 million ($197.2 million).
Apart from being the first REIT IPO in 2018, Al Rajhi's issue is also the largest REIT fund to be offered till date in the kingdom.
The fund has a size of SR1.62 billion, of which about SR427 million were offered in the IPO (42.7 million units at a par value of SR10) during January 1 to January 14 this year.
The fund was oversubscribed 174 per cent thus taking it to newer heights in terms of number of subscribers from the general public with 90,561 individual and institutional subscribers participating in the IPO.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the fund, each subscriber will be allocated a minimum of 100 units, and the remaining units will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to those who have subscribed for more than the minimum 100 units at a rate of 52 per cent.
Refund of excess funds will be within five business days from the IPO closing date, he stated.
Al Rajhi Capital CEO Gaurav Shah said: "We are pleased to announce the successful closing of Al Rajhi REIT IPO with record subscriber participation. This milestone supports our aim to broaden the retail investor base by achieving greater inclusion in investment products such as REITs."
"The investor acceptance of our REIT reinforces that ARC's robust real estate investment process has resonated well with investors. We will continue to focus on real estate assets with long term fixed contracts occupied by solid tenants in attractive sectors to deliver predictable returns in the years to come," noted Shah.
Al Rajhi REIT Fund, he stated, aims to ensure sustainable income stream for investors over the medium to long-term from its high-quality portfolio of diversified income generating assets.
According to him, the proceeds from the IPO will be used to acquire new assets to further expand the REIT Fund's investment portfolio.
Al Rajhi Capital has around 10 per cent ownership in Al Rajhi REIT Fund post the IPO, and the company has voluntarily committed not to sell any units for the next two years post listing, he added.-TradeArabia News Service

Multiracial America25 Sep 2013
National Geographic online has an article titled, "The Changing Face of America", which focuses on the growth of "multiracial" as a category on the U.S. census. Since 2000 when it was first collected, the category has grown by more than 30%.
The Census Bureau is aware that its racial categories are flawed instruments, disavowing any intention to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically. And indeed, for most multiple-race Americans, including the people pictured here, identity is a highly nuanced concept, influenced by politics, religion, history, and geography, as well as by how the person believes the answer will be used. I just say Im brown, McKenzi McPherson, 9, says. And I think, Why do you want to know?
The article brings attention to the portrait photography of Martin Schoeller, who is behind many of the famous "many-different-faces" collages you see online. It is an interesting artistic choice, considering the clear thematic connection to 19th-century "races of humanity" illustrations. I can't help but see the resulting pieces as mugshots, however attractively photographed.
