A few weeks ago someone brought in Roses for all the staff at work and we were all allowed to pick the ones we wanted. I picked two that to me were beautiful but not the best of the lot, but I was very happy with them, they were super red. My favorite color is yellow, but there were none.
Anyway, I brought them home, put them in water and after the actual roses started to wither, to my surprise the stems are shooting off new growth. I have never seen this happen before.
I am keeping them in water in the kitchen window and hopefully by the time winter is finished I will be able to plant them outside. This is what they look like right now. I am just amazed..

By Jennie Saul
This article was originally published in the December 2009 edition of Soul Search, the journal of The Sole Society
My name is Jennie Saul and my family tree is part of the Norfolk line of Saul's.
I only got into genealogy in the last few years, and hadn't realised the heritage behind the Saul's of Norfolk. My father, Peter Saul, was born in 1944 and did not know the identity of his father (often the case during the war?), so therefore was given his Mother's surname, SAUL. His mother, Joyce Gertrude Saul, (born 7 September 1911, died March 1989) became pregnant while unmarried. In danger of ruining the prestigious Victorian Saul family reputation in Norfolk, she had therefore been under pressure to leave the family home, and disappeared to Nottingham, which is where my father met my Mum and where I was born. Apart from some childhood holiday trips to the East Coast, Norfolk did not feature in my life.
I became passionate about my family history around 2007 and have since researched the Saul's of Norfolk, and also my maternal family tree in Nottingham too. How addictive is this hobby!
Having received some real help from The Sole Society and also Les Saul, one of The Sole Society's members and a distant relative of mine, I decided to visit Norfolk at Easter this year armed with realms of hastily scribbled family history notes plus my partner Tim. The objective was to enjoy an idyllic Easter weekend at a lovely hotel in Beccles (Waveney House hotel) but also to visit three places of family history during my stay (without boring my boyfriend in the process who had major reservations about wandering around cemeteries for three days). The trip was one which I will remember for ever.
Here's what I found.
All Saints Church, Great Fransham
Joyce Gertrude Saul, my Grandma, had died in 1989, and some of our family had not been able to attend the funeral, hence I'd never visited her grave. I discovered from my Dad that my Grandma Joyce was buried in All Saints Church in Great Fransham, a lovely village about 28 miles east of Norwich.
Once in the churchyard I managed to locate her grave which she shared with her Mother and Father, Charles Lepard Saul, (born 1871, died 1950) and Ella Saul (nee Crane) who died of cancer in 1921. Charles, my great grandfather had gone on to remarry the housekeeper, Grace Rix, four years after Ella's death. I've since been trying to find out more about Grace Rix and the Rix family. I ordered a copy of the marriage certificate of Charles and Grace dated 1924 which has helped me find out more.
I'm not sure if other people share this belief, but I've always felt a strange connection with some members of my family tree and in my case, with my Great Grandfather, Charles. Even though I've never met him, it felt very spiritual putting flowers on his grave.
Saul's Timber
If you use the search facility on The Sole Society website and type in 'timber' you will see lots of information about the Saul's business on Saw Mill Lane on the riverside in Great Yarmouth, which some of the Saul family operated for more than half a century. My distant relative Les Saul has researched this completely on the Sole Society site, having visited in 1995. Sharing part of the same family tree, I also wished to visit the site where the family had successfully traded for so long.
Thomas Saul, was born in Stalham, Norfolk in 1817, the son of a sawyer, William of Stalham born 1788, and grandson of John Saul of Stalham born in 1752, an agricultural labourer. Thomas' elder brother by two years, William Staff Saul, had also taken up the trade and the two brothers left Norfolk for London to hone their skills. The brothers eventually returned to Norfolk and established the timber business in 1874.
On a cold rainy Sunday in April 2009, I'm sorry to say that the area was completely shut down. Gates were locked and the area did not look like it received much activity – at any point in the week. It was difficult to envisage it as the original Victorian family business and I was disappointed at not being able to access the site. We turned back to the car very disappointed. A revelation occurred as we drove the car over a nearby bridge. We parked up on the opposite side of the river and dashed to the water's edge. From the other side of the river we had a magnificent but drizzly view of the timber yard. Compare my photo of 2009 and one dated courtesy of Les Saul, which is stored on the Sole Society website. One could clearly recognise it as the same building.
Great Yarmouth Old Cemetery
Knowing that I wouldn't have access to any web information during my trip plus no access to any historical contacts over the Easter weekend, I'd tried to prepare as much as possible in advance of the trip, to ensure that our short stay in Norfolk yielded the best results. Following the trip to the timber yard, above, we headed to Great Yarmouth Old Cemetery. I'd rang the Norfolk Records Office only the week before, having found some information about some of the Saul relatives buried in Great Yarmouth. I wanted to visit the graves but knew that it may be a case of finding a needle in a haystack to find the right plots and site. While the Norfolk Records office usually charges for searching for information, I'd managed to telephone a very helpful lady there and given her some details. She'd promptly rang me back about 15 minutes later with really comprehensive details – including the details of further Saul relatives buried there, their date of death, and site location. She also promised to send me a map of the cemetery indicating the location of their graves. This arrived two days later and was incredibly useful. Great Yarmouth Old Cemetery is huge and walking around the long grass in the rain was wet work. Even with the map, the Saul burial plot was not that easy to find. There were four upright gravestones, left to right:
1. Catherine Lucy Saul, d 11 Nov 1869, aged 3 months, daughter of William R and Deborah Saul
Catita Elena Saul, b 9 July 1900, died 24 September 1900, aged two months, daughter of Thomas William and Catita A Saul,
2. Bessie Saul, died 25 November 1867, aged 2 year and 9 months, daughter of Thomas John and Amy Saul
Ethel Lepard Saul, born 24 December 1874, died 9 Nov 1884, aged 9, daughter of Thomas John and Amy
3. Arthur Lepard Saul, died 26 September 1914 aged 33
4. Alice Amy Saul, born 8 April 1863, died 24 November 1892 aged 29, daughter of Thomas John and Amy Saul
Mary Lepard Saul, born 9 May 1873, died 17 Aug 1934, aged 61, daughter of Thomas John and Amy Saul
Two horizontal and more ornate graves were at the side:
1. Thomas John Saul, born 29 Feb 1840, died 25 May 1913, aged 73, husband of Amy
Amy Saul (nee Lepard) died 7 August 1884 aged 45 years, wife of Thomas John
2. Thomas Saul, born 12 Aug 1817, died 14 March 1909 aged 87
Elizabeth Saul, born 16 March 1812, died 1 Jan 1899, wife of Thomas
One of the graves was covered in ivy. It had probably been growing for many years. I cut a small piece off and have managed to cultivate it. It now grows in my garden and is known as Amy's ivy, after my great great grandmother.
We drove back home that Sunday afternoon and my head was filled with memories while our car was filled with the ghosts of relatives. All those people before me who had played a part in my presence on earth.
It was an amazing trip and I would say to anyone with a passion in genealogy; if you have an opportunity to visit some of the places in your family tree, then go. It brings your family history alive in a way that the web and countless bits of paper will never do. It's an emotional journey and really connects some of the dots in your past in a very visual and meaningful way.

You can share report data by linking to it from another web location.
You can link to the report itself or to the graphical chart that represents it.
For example, suppose you submit a weekly report on the status of open defects in each component of the product. Let's also suppose that you have already configured a Project Metrics report showing the number of open Priority 1 defects for each component, and want to include that in your document. Here's how you can use the report and chart links:
The URL, such as
https://test.project.company.net/servlets/ReportLetView?xxx, takes you to a page which contains only the chart image.
To embed the image, copy the URL and use it as the source in an HTML image tag as follows:

The URL, such as
https://test. projects.company.net/servlets/ReportViewxx, takes you directly to the report.

<img alt="Number of Open P1 Defects per Component"
title="Number of Open P1 Defects per Component"
When you click on the chart graphic that is embedded in your document, you are taken to the corresponding Metrics report page. The report and chart depict the state of the data at the point the data was last updated.
Note: The embedded chart or the bookmarked page is generated according to the latest state of the data. For example, suppose you embedded a trend chart for defect counts on Dec 07, and the chart was an almost flat line from left to right for the displayed period of Dec 01 - Dec 07. Assume that on Dec 09 there was a spike in the defect count. When you view the chart at some later point after the data was updated, say on Dec 12, it will display the period of Dec 06 - Dec 12 with a spike in the middle.

Call Tracking and Mobile Browsing
If you haven't read up on mobile browsing recently, there's a good chance that you've missed out on some very interesting statistics. A recent post on the Econsultancy site has a roundup of these useful stats, but we've included some of them here too.
66% use mobile search while watching TV, something which should get advertisers thinking, while 61% said they use it at work. (Performics and ROI)
The UK is the fifth biggest mobile internet market globally. (Silicon Alley Insider)
75% said mobile search makes their lives easier, 63% said access to mobile search has changed the way they gather information, and 32% said they use mobile search more than search engines on their computers. (Performics and ROI)
84% use mobile search to look for information on local retailers, such as opening hours, address and contact details. 82% look for online retailers, 73% find a specific product or manufacturer website. (Performics and ROI)
Right around now, you are probably thinking: "Yes, these are very interesting nuggets of information; but how does this have anything to do with call tracking?"
Good question! Put it this way: if you track calls originating from computer based search engines, wouldn't you want to understand your mobile market too? Luckily, ResponseTap's call tracking technology is perfectly capable of providing you with these insights.
Just as a unique phone number is generated on your desktop or laptop, the same occurs on a mobile web browser. So whether your customers are looking you up on Google or are coming to your site directly, you'll still be able to see a clear visitor path when they're using their mobile*.
Let's tie this in to the aforementioned statistics. It seems as though many people use mobile browsing for a quick and easy alternative to getting out their laptop or booting up their PC; a staggering 84% use mobile search to look for snippets on their local retailers (opening hours, address, and contact details). Those using smartphones can go from webpage to phone call in a matter of seconds, which makes call tracking even more appealing.
With ResponseTap, you can also have the benefit of call recordings. Imagine that while watching TV, a viewer sees an advert for your company or product. They may be one of the 66% that use a mobile browser when the TV is on. If they find that they need or want some more information, they might call you via your website. These call recordings might enlighten you to how you can tailor your TV advertisements in the future: do they need more detail, are they hooking interest?
There are so many questions that call tracking can help you answer; and it can also open your eyes to aspects you might not have considered before! Check out this recent quote from the Search Engine Journal:
"…after listening to a few of the recorded calls the attention started to quickly shift to the poor customer support and sales skills that these callers were receiving from the actual store owners.
After a further review of these calls we discovered that callers were being put on hold for long periods of time, some were actually hung up on and several went to voicemail during peak business hours. These types of customer support issues can not only be identified by consistently listening to the call recordings, but they can also be used as training tools to improve the overall customer experience."
This comment pretty much speaks for itself; as if we need to give you any more reasons to start using call tracking! Oh go on then, we'll end here with another spectacular quote (same source as above):
"Some of these calls can give you insights into certain services or products that potential customers are looking for that you might not offer. Call tracking provides a unique repository of potential business intelligence. The next 'big idea' for your company may very well come from one of your potential customers."

8 medium-sized Italian sausages
500g purple-sprouting broccoli
Juice of ½ a lemon
Olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the salsa:
1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
1–2 small dried red chilies, crumbled
2 x 400g tins of plum tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely sliced
Olive oil
2–3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, plus extra for dressing
1 small stick of cinnamon
For the lentils:
400g Puy lentils
1 bay leaf
A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves chopped, stalks reserved
2 cloves of garlic, peeled
Red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
A small handful of fresh thyme tips
Recipe Instructions
Make the salsa.
In a saucepan add the olive oil, onion, sliced garlic, cinnamon stick and the chilies. Fry on a gently heat for 10 minutes until the onions are soft. Turn up the heat and add the red wine vinegar. Turn down the heat to low and add the chopped up tinned tomatoes. Simmer for half and hour.
Cook the lentils.
Preheat the oven to 200C. Put lentils in a pot of water, covering the lentils. Add 2 whole cloves of garlic, the bay leaf and tied-up stalks of parsley. Over a low heat simmer for 20 minutes ensuring the water is covering the lentils. When the lentils are cooked, remove the parsley stalks and the bay leaf and drain away most of the water. Mash the garlic cloves and mix it in with the lentils. Add 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a couple of tablespoons of vinegar. Throw in the parsley and mix together. Season to taste.
Cook the broccoli.
Cook the broccoli in boiling water for a few minutes. When cooked drain in a colander and place in a bowl. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and some extra virgin olive oil.
Cook the sausages.
Roll the sausages in a little olive oil and place them on a baking tray. Roast for 25 minutes in a preheated oven until crisp. Remove the sausages from the baking tray and pour out all the fat.
Spoon the lentils into the serving bowls. Remove the cinnamon sticks from the salsa and season well. Spoon the salsa over the lentils. Place 2 sausages (sliced or whole) or top of the lentils. Sprinkle with thyme and serve with a bowl of steaming broccoli.

Guber race: Group Drums Support For Owan Enoh In C'River
- Written by David Odey, Calabar
- No comment
A social political group made up of passionate proselytizers across Cross River State, called
Team Rescue Cross River State is drumming support for Senator John Owan Enoh as next governor of Cross River State.
The group said in a statement to TNN whatsapp account that Owan Enoh was the best man to replace the incumbent governor, Prof. Ben Ayade.
Leader of the group, Mr Anthony Oru enumerated some striking views on the candidature of the senator.
"In 15 years of witnessing elections in Cross River State and the politics of Distinguished Senator John Owan Enoh, I noticed a few characteristics that has thrown him ahead of others who are in the race to become governor of Cross River State in 2019.
"Owan Enoh talks less and does more. This has earned him robust support across the state. He is popularly addressed as "talk and do senator" Owan Enoh under promises and over delivers.
"Owan Enoh is collaborative. He can work with anybody/company/organization, as long as the purpose is people oriented. He takes the long view even when it's unpopular in the here-and-now. And he knows that in a state as close-knit as Cross River, today's opponent could be tomorrow's ally – so he doesn't burn bridges.
"He would rather listen than pontificate. He has the experience to know his own mind and the humility and empathy to know that what others think matters just as much.
"The sitting senator representing central senatorial district of Cross River State knows the policy-making process firsthand and inside-out. He won't need a tutorial because he already understands what it takes to get things done in State government. And he knows that no matter how bold the claim, no one can do it alone.
"He knows that whether it's raising cattle or presiding over the Cross River State House, working together is the best way to accomplish shared goals and come out the other side without bitterness or backbiting.
"He is father to many of us. He will be in it for a better long-term future, not better numbers in 2019 polls."

I went to see the cinema screening of A Winter's Tale from the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company. I wanted to see this for multiple reasons:
1) Judi Dench is in it,
2) it's Shakespeare,
3) it's directed by and with Kenneth Branagh
I'm posting this later (like a few weeks later, I went to see it 26/11/2015) than I've seen it because a friend of mine was going to see it live on stage and I didn't want to spoil it for her. So for those still going to see it what follows might come over as spoilers.
The play starts out with a very Christmassy scene, a Christmas tree on stage Judi and a boy who's playing on stage. Musicians get on stage from in the audience (that's what I made up from the images I saw since I was in the cinema for a worldwide broadcast and not live in the theatre).
What happens next is that the queen of Sicily (Hermoine – yes my mind went to the other famous Hermoine when I heard the name) is very friendly with the king of Bohemia (Polixenes )and that the king of Sicily (Leontes) gets very jealous. So jealous he puts his wife in prison and although she is pregnant with his child doesn't want to see her or the baby initially when it's born. After seeing the baby he orders the baby to be abandoned in a desolate place. The news from the Oracle still being on its way and arriving after the banishment. The news states that there was no infidelity and that the baby was really the baby of the king of Sicily. The queen falls in swoon and is presumed dead. The next scene we see the baby being abandoned and the most famous stage directions from this play happen… "Exit, pursued by a bear." – the person exiting was the one ordered to abandon the baby. The baby is found by a shepherd and his son.
At this time the intermission happens.
After intermission the show starts again with a bit of laughter – we get the announcement that 16 years have passed since the previous scene. This part of the play shows off some gaiety. There is a lot of dancing and singing.
We encounter Perdita (the baby grown up), she is a young, beautiful woman still in the care of the shepherd and his son. At this time, we also meet Florizel, who at this time just seems like a labourer, but as the play progresses we discover he's the son of Polixenes. His father trying to break the couple apart. As they get married, Polixenes (who was in disguise), shows that he's not happy with this betrothal and the couple( Perdita & Florizel) flee to Sicily. In Sicily, we find Leontes still in mourning after the "dead" of his wife and the loss of his daughter (who he also presumes is dead).
After this, the play gets into a high speed. Florizel and Perdita arrive in Sicily and Leontes is not the best host for them. The shepherd and son also arrive and tell the story how they found Perdita, and show the items that were found by her side, and as these items were items of the court of Sicily, they people of Sicily soon come to the conclusion that Perdita is the long lost daughter of Leontes.
The next moment we are going to see the statue of Hermoine, and as they weep for the loss of wife and daughter, the statue comes to life.
To finish the play we get a happy ending, the family is reunited and Perdita and Florizel are engaged (now with the approval of both their dads – and adopted dad).
The performances of Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench were magnificent. I had moments that I thought I recognised other actors from previous plays or television parts.I couldn't place them and after looking at the cast list the only name I could really place was Adam Garcia.
I'm very happy to have had the chance to see this play, although not live but sometimes it's impossible to get to London. So I'm one of the ones in favor of these broadcasts from the London stage to cinema's around the world.
Next year they are also going to broadcast Romeo & Julia this way also from the Kenneth Branagh company – Richard Madden and Lilly James as the main characters – both once again reunited under a direction of Kenneth Branagh – as they were for Cinderella!

Remember back in March when Andi & George came up for a visit?
Well I made this video and I uploaded it to YouTube but it was during the time that they had just changed their "terms of service" and you couldn't upload videos over 10 minutes. This one logs in at almost 14 minutes and I had forgotten about it until today.
So with that said, I am proud to present:

Screen share from Desktop at high res low frame rate (1280x720@5fps) 3. Observe Android browser is unresponsive and sharing is not displayed. What is the expected behavior? Standard 640x480 or higher video tracks should decode and render well on recent Android devices. What went wrong? The Android browser becomes unresponsive Chrome error sequence is report on device connected to Android Device Monitor: ERROR:gles2_cmd_decoder.cc(5332)] Error: 5 for Command kSwapBuffers ERROR:gles2_cmd_decoder.cc(15702)] Context lost because SwapBuffers failed. ERROR:gles2_cmd_decoder.cc(4325)] GLES2DecoderImpl: Trying to make lost context current. Generally this continues as long as the video track is being received, but in a few tests, it did recover. Did this work before? Yes Works on Android 5.1.1 Samsung Tablet with same Chrome Version. Chrome version: 61.0.3163.98 Channel: stable OS Version: 7.0 Flash Version: Error is reproducible on Android 7.0 and 6.01 on Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, HTC 10, Pixel, Nexus 5 devices

Found a workaround: set "border-radius: 0px" css property of the video tag. I think it changes something in the rendering process. ps: only stops rendering if there is no debugger attached

About Chrome reports: Application version: 61.0.3163.98 Operating system: Android 8.0.0; Nexus6P Build/OPR5.170623.007 Can confirm border-radius fixes the issue, but only if I set it to 1px in my particular application... I tried AppRTC, but didn't get the exact same issue. There it was really slow before eventually crashing the page (!)

TRS chief Rao quits LS on Telangana issue
TRS parted ways with the Congress in the wake of failure to fulfill its pre-poll promise of Telangana statehood.india Updated: Sep 12, 2006 17:46 IST
In a dramatic move, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao on Tuesday announced his resignation from Lok Sabha to intensify the movement for separate Telangana state and dared the ruling Congress leaders from the region to follow the suit and seek fresh mandate.
The decision came three weeks after he quit the UPA government, along with his deputy A Narendra, to protest against the Congress-led coalition's failure to initiate the process for creation of the new state.
Rao, who represents Karimnagar constituency in Lok Sabha, told reporters that he would be sending the resignation letter to the Speaker Somnath Chatterjee.
The TRS, which has five MPs and 26 MLAs, had contested the 2004 elections in alliance with Congress but parted ways in the wake of failure to fulfill its pre-poll promise of Telangana statehood.
The resignation came in the backdrop of calls by the state Congress leaders, including APCC President K Kesava Rao and senior Minister M Satyanarayana Rao, asking Rao to quit his Parliament seat and go to the people.
"I am accepting their challenge and resigning from Lok Sabha. If they have guts, let them reciprocate. Let all of us go to people and fight elections on the sole issue of Telangana statehood", Rao said.
He said all his party MPs and MLAs were ready to quit their posts and dared Congress leaders to come forward to seek fresh mandate.
"The next elections will be held on Telangana issue alone. The people will decide who is committed to their welfare", the TRS Chief said.

Jacket: Old Navy (yellow is unfortunately sold out online!), Black Turtleneck: Zara, Jeans: C&V Chelsea & Violet at Dillard's, Shoes: Vans, Sunglasses: Kate Spade
You guys, this jacket though. I'm normally one to wear black everyday, but this color just spoke to me. It's been so cold here (30s-40s F) in Florida the last week. It finally reached the mid 50s this weekend so I could finally wear an actual cute outfit!
Puffer jackets have been one of the top trends this season, especially in bright colors. I picked this yellow jacket up at Old Navy before Black Friday when the whole store was 40% off. I actually did most of my Christmas shopping before Black Friday because I wanted the best selection at still great prices. I got the jacket for less than $40! It's very warm, water-proof, and the color is a happy shade of mustard. Wear it on or off the shoulders for that downtown cool look.

Residents of Kentucky nursing homes are often victims of abuse and neglect. There are many different types of problems ranging from the staff being slow to answer a call light to outright physical and mental abuse by the staff. After several decades suing Kentucky nursing homes for abuse and neglect, these are the top complaints our nursing home abuse attorneys hear from residents and their families regarding poor care.
1. Falls
Nursing home residents are often at high risk of falling and injuring themselves. There are several reasons for this including but not limited to: difficult with balance and walking due to age, effects of medication, recent injuries for which they are rehabbing in the nursing home. Regardless of the reason, any resident that is a high falls risk should be carefully monitored. In addition, their needs should be anticipated and met within a reasonable time.
When a resident in a nursing home does fall, the consequences are often dire due to their already frail physical condition. Many residents in nursing homes will experience a rapid decline in health following a fall. In some cases, falls often lead to death. With proper care, falls are almost always preventable.
2. Waiting too Long for Somone to Answer a Call Light or Bell
Nothing makes a resident feel less independent and irritated than waiting and waiting for staff to answer a call light or bell. Failure of the staff to respond to a resident's request for help is almost always due to a nursing home being understaffed. While it may seem like a minor annoyance, unanswered calls for help by nursing home residents can lead to devastating consequences.
Many residents in nursing homes are unable to help themselves safely and when the staff doesn't respond to their calls for help, the resident may take it upon themselves to try and help themselves. This can lead dangerous situations such as residents attempting to get out of bed or a chair to use the restroom and falling. Failure of the staff to respond can also lead to residents going without food or water and becoming malnourished and dehydrated. We have handled cases where the failure of the nursing home staff to respond to a call for help caused a resident to lie in their own feces for hours. Sadly, this resident developed skin breakdown as a result and developed an infection which leads to their untimely death.
3. Bad Food Service
Again, while it might seem like a fairly harmless issue, bad food can lead to bad consequences. Residents in nursing homes often rely on the staff to ensure that there are taking in enough nutrition. When the food is bad, many residents either refuse to eat or refuse to eat enough. In addition, sloppy food service with inconsistent feeding times and staff that doesn't properly encourage eating can have the same results. Nursing homes must have quality edible food, consistent meal times and a staff that is trained and willing to take the necessary time to ensure their residents are taking in enough nutrition.
4. Too Noisy at Night
Sleep is critical to the well being of nursing home residents. Many residents and the elderly in particular struggle with consistent sleep. Too little sleep can lead to weakened immune systems, cardiovascular strain and deteriorating mental conditions. If a nurse home is too loud at night, or if the staff is constantly and needlessly disturbing residents during their time to sleep, problems can and will develop. Sleep time is important and should be treated as such.
5. Isolation and Loneliness
Isolation and loneliness: People need people. Residents in nursing homes are no different. Many studies (and common sense) show that nursing home residents who are able to socialize do far better than residents who are isolated and alone. For this reason, it is imperative that nursing home staff ensure that residents are encouraged to socialize with other residents and the staff.
This is often a time consuming and difficult process but one that is critical to the well fair and quality of life of any resident in a nursing home. Nursing homes with too little staff are often unable to meet these needs. The result is an existence of isolation and loneliness for some residents that need help maintaining a social life once they are living in the home.
6. Bed Sores
There is hardly a resident or a family member of a resident that doesn't worry about their loved one developing a bedsore (pressure ulcer) in a nursing home. Once a bedsore develops, things can quickly go downhill for a resident. Bedsores are very difficult to control once they reach a certain stage. For this reason, nursing home staff must be vigilant in monitoring and preventing any type of skin breakdown in their residents. Bedsores and skin tears are almost always preventable. A nursing home with adequate staff should have no problem in bedsore prevention.
7. Wrong Medication
Many residents are victims of receiving the wrong medication in nursing homes. This is in large part due to the high number of residents and the low number of staff. In addition, many residents are unable to communicate what their medication is and therefore they cannot act as a safeguard against receiving the wrong medication. Nursing homes must be extremely careful to monitor residents medications and ensure they receive the correct dosage and drug.
8. Dehydration
Nursing home residents often require constant encouragement to take in fluids. This can be a time-consuming issue for the staff but one that is critically important. Dehydration can happen quickly. It can lead to kidney damage, cardiovascular injury and even death. Nursing home staff must monitor fluid intakes carefully and encourage residents to take in necessary fluids.
9. Contractures
Contractures are a horrible thing to occur to any nursing home resident. They are painful and sometimes irreversible. They are almost always the result of the nursing home staff not taking the time to properly care for the resident and provide the necessary hands-on physical therapy required to prevent contractures. Staff must watch closely for any signs of contractures and work continuously to prevent them from occurring.
10. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Any type of infection in an elderly nursing home resident is a cause for great concern. Most residents are frail and have weakened immune systems. Urinary Tract Infections, as well as other types of infections, can lead to a rapid decline in a residents physical and mental health. Left untreated, UTI's can lead to sepsis and even death. Nursing home staff must constantly work to prevent UTI's by ensuring catheters are regularly changed and cleaned. UTI's are preventable and easily treated if caught early. It is the responsibility of the staff to ensure the resident remains UTI free.

text: sUrya, Sakti, vishNu, gaNeSa, SivasUrya, Sakti, vishNu, gaNeSa, Siva In certain orthodox traditions the five divinities of the main tradition are all worshipped together through a sophisticated ritual called, pancAyatana pUjA, meaning worship at five altars. Here the divinities are worshipped not in their human-like forms but in certain symbols in the form of stones, which are nothing but certain rock formations available in specified locations in India. In this scheme of things, gaNeSa is the red somabhadra stone found in the bed of the river Sone flowing into the Ganges. Cited from Website Beach 1. As the site adds this pantheon of 5 often has an additional son: subrahmaNya and this becomes 6 gods: sUrya, Sakti, vishNu, gaNeSa, subrahmaNya, Siva

What Is Native Americans' Day ?
Mexicans prepare various selections of corn-based delicacies. The Indians still utilize seed beads. Native Americans are the very first nation of the USA and Canada. Today, Native Americans residing in the Americas are called the ethnic groups. Many Irish were prepared to work for under the completely free black labor force during the moment; point.
Their diet might be a reason, because they may be consuming a bigger quantity of vegetation a normal omnivorous Sasquatch living in other regions of the nation. Native American medicine is quite much like medicinal approaches employed by the Chinese. In some case, Native American doctors also suggest a ritual purification.
In the portraits above, you can observe that every guy is wrapped by means of a blanket, traditional to a lot of native tribes. As stated before, both women and men can wear owl tattoos. They play a vital role in their religion. In addition to this extension of republican ideals, they began to enjoy some select economic boosts, particularly the ability to seek employment in certain industries, specifically the textile industry. That is why Indian ladies utilize a mix of both quills and beads. When the medication man knows the issue, the next step entails administering an herb medication to heal the issue. The individual who practiced shamanism is known as a shaman.
Things You Won't Like About What Is Native Americans' Day and Things You Will Choosing Good
Don't rush to go tattooed if you're not sure! Still, you're likable, and will likely be quite common. If you're curious, learn. You should stop and stop now. You will likely recognize the majority of them. Some people work with deities, others don't. As Americans, lots of us examine the word Voodoo and shutter.
If, after that, you really think that what is happening might actually be brought about by magic, there are means to check. Knowing whether you're, actually, cursed requires some careful self-examination. It might just be an issue of knowing what things to search for.
The One Thing to Do for What Is Native Americans' Day
Regardless of what you are fighting, God would like to assist you. God can and will assist you and change you, should you simply ask Him to. The Hopi religion has an important role in binding their community. There's nothing referred to as a Shinto religion which has been recorded. Islam is the 2nd most followed religion on the planet today.
Few men and women will really come in touch with any one of these wildcats in their normal habitat, but at least now you know a little bit more about these fantastic wildcats of North America. Different national groups around the world have their own special healing strategy. The overall mass, particularly in the West, is more attentive to the a variety of calligraphy styles and symbols.
Some Important facts about Native America
1.The last major battle between Native American Indians and the U.S. government occurred in 1890 at the Battle of Wounded Knee near the Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. An estimated 300 Sioux Indians were killed.
2.According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the largest tribal groups in the U.S are the Cherokee, Navajo, Chippewa (Ojibwa), Apache, Choctaw, Iroquois, Lumbee, Pueblo, and Sioux (Lakota).
3.There are about 4.5 million people of Native American and Alaska Native heritage in the U.S. This group makes up about 1.5% of the U.S. population.
4.Most scientists believe that the ancestors of today's Native Americans migrated from Asia to North America. It is purported that as many as 20,000 years ago, they walked across a land bridge that existed at today's Bering Strait.
5.The first contact between Native Americans and European people occurred in the 11th century when Norse seafarers encountered indigenous people along the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The Vikings called the Native American people skraeling, which means "barbarian" or 'foreigner.

I'm a mom. Not a SAHM. Not a single mom. Not the best Mom, regardless of what my kids tell you. They just don't know all my failures, and I do make them. You will not be reading a blog from me about my perfections. Evah.
It says in the Bible, and I'm paraphrasing here: Parents do not exasperate your children… I've read it. You can to if you so desire, in Ephesians, chapter 6, verse 4. I've even told my self this verse over and over in a kind of mantra like state. Because I've broken this advice and done just the opposite-exasperated my children.
Today I looked up the definition of exasperation. Oh it's a gem:
Irritate intensely; infuriate
Pleasant words right?
You can judge me guilty of the offense.
But this is a two-way street. They have also 'intensely irritated' me. And I'm the adult here, supposed to have it all 'together'. I'm supposed to know that they are just learning and it's my job to teach them.
It is. But they still can get under my skin-oy!
Since I am understanding more and more what the heck exasperation is, I am learning more and more when it may get 'intense'.
Round these parts, all of us can get riled up when:
-the Mommy is under stress. When my obligation plate has two-too many portions that I cant' seem to scrape off.
-the Mommy is trying to comprehend, control (ha!), understand, adapt to this thing called peri-menopause.
-when the Mommy has said no less than 20 times _______ (here you can fill in the blank: clean your room, brush your hair, feed the dog, etc. You know those seemingly every day things that they SHOULD have down by now)
-or when the Mommy is so tired her eyes are crossing.
-even just the non-stop jabber about nothing when what I needed was a little quiet time.
-the doozy: when there is any combo of the above, run just run far, far away from me. You're welcome.
And those are all types of excuses. Regardless of the situation, we are supposed to do better. Be better. Be the good example and walk them through the moment to the other side without the drama and occasional loudness of exasperation. Yet I have failed at each and every one of those examples above. So have they, well maybe not the peri-menopause they are just children after all.
But I also know that this parenting thing isn't easy. Don't take that as a lame excuse. I mean it. It's hard (how do you single/military/widowed mommies DO this? Blessings upon you. Many blessings!). There are going to be days you're so tired you can barely stand to cook dinner which is only a box of mac 'n cheese. There are going to be days when you are pulled in too many directions at the same time. There are going to many hours of constant, annoying chatter about nothing at all. There will definitely be those days you will have to say everything not just once, but 20 times. And yes, there will be a day that your hormones are so out of whack you shock your own self!
…and it's going to be ok.
Parenting is hard. They are learning and so are we parents. No one is born with a "How to Parent Perfectly" manual. No. One. We all work our way through as we go.The goal is to do the best we can while not causing permanent, lasting damage.
I am so thankful I had good parents to model from. Perfect ones, no. Close, but no.
I am doing the best I can and yes I exasperate and get exasperated, but I know we are all doing our best. We are family and that bond is worth it all. We are strong. When we fail we know we will pick each other up, apologise and move forward. Becoming better for the next time. Hopefully one day, there won't be a next time?…(right parents of 50 year olds? Shine me that light please!)
We are not wearing our rosy glasses on this one. We've done it wrong. We still make mistakes and we're not giving up. I'm in for the parenting long-haul.
I'm just so grateful we also have forgiveness and the best family anyone could ever ask for.

Daily Tax Report: State provides authoritative coverage of state and local tax developments across the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, tracking legislative and regulatory updates,...
Wealthy New York taxpayers could be hit with a state income tax rate of more than 10 percent under a proposal released Jan. 26 by the Democratic Speaker of the Assembly.
The proposal, which hasn't been drafted in the form of a bill yet, would raise the tax rate to 10.32 percent for those who earn more than $100 million a year and to 9.82 percent for those who earn between $10 million and $100 million.
The plan would also raise the rate to 9.32 percent for those who earn between $5 million and $10 million and to 8.82 percent for those who earn between $1 million and $5 million. About 66,000 taxpayers would be covered by the new rates.
The plan, which would raise $5.6 billion, is expected to form the basis of the Assembly's bargaining position when it negotiates a fiscal year 2018 budget with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) and the Republicans who control the state Senate.
The Assembly plan is likely to face stiff resistance in the Senate. It also goes far beyond a budget bill proposed by Cuomo to extend the state's so-called millionaire's tax.
"The millionaire tax should be allowed to sunset as scheduled and promised," Zack Hutchins, a spokesman for the Business Council of New York State, told Bloomberg BNA in an e-mail.
"Instead of increasing taxes, the state should be looking at ways to improve the business climate and spur economic growth," he said. "The Assembly's plan will only encourage more people to leave New York and head to more tax-friendly states."
Assembly Speaker Carl E. Heastie (D) said in a staement that "by ensuring that tax rates are tailored to expect more from those who can most afford it, we can make sure our communities have better schools, New Yorkers have better access to health care and that tax burdens do not crush those who are struggling to make ends meet."
Scott Reif, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader John J. Flanagan (R), told Bloomberg BNA that the senator and "members of our Republican conference are focused on cutting taxes and making New York more affordable for the middle class."
The "millionaire's tax," which sets a rate of 8.82 percent for singles earning more than $1 million and married couples earning more than $2.1 million, is scheduled to expire Dec. 31. The rate would then drop to 6.85 percent.
Tax rates for middle income taxpayers are also scheduled to be lowered after Dec. 31, and the Assembly plan would keep those middle-income tax cuts in place.

Job Skills: Prepare your English CV for a job in the UK
Professional Writers Can Develop Specialist Resumes
A well created return to ought to highlight the candidate's abilities and also experience that matches with the demand of the job being gotten. There are lots of ways in which one can write their resumes, but how can the applicant send a return to which looks specialist? A resume that looks specialist will certainly have a high possibility of getting an meeting while a one performed in a careless way will certainly not.
Professional Resumes are produced according to the specific task which is gotten. When creating a resume it is necessary that your return to be observed among all the others. An efficient resume has couple of fundamental aspects which requires to be included in your own return to also if it's to serve its objective.
1. There are four standard types you will be able to make use of when developing a resume. These are, chronological, useful, targeted or combination. It is necessary that the applicant recognize what these kinds are, as well as situations to which they are applicable for and how to compose them.
2. The formats as well as formats of resumes have actually altered for many years. As a result, it is necessary for you to learn which are the modern techniques of composing a resume. The importance of this point is that you do not want to submit a return to which is old made. There are numerous online resources that offer complimentary examples of resumes and you can make use of these as a standard before the composing process.
3. All Professional Resumes should be prepared and outlined prior to writing. Planning enables you to identify which are the vital needs of the task and then to recognize the most appropriate of your skills, experience and qualifications that match these needs. Resumes written without pre planning includes all kind of unnecessary info such as the elevation as well as weight of the candidate to the first aid program she or he went through in secondary school. This will certainly all sound absurd if you were getting a jr executive blog post in a software application company!
4. The return to gives the potential company an idea of your caliber and competencies; therefore, if composed shoddily, it assesses your work capabilities. So, check your work and make certain formal written language is used.
5. The actual composing procedure of your return to will certainly be a difficult job. There are lots of websites online which provide info on just how to style, what kind to make use of, and dos and also do n'ts of resume composing. Using this as a guideline will help you in writing a much better resume.
6. The length of the return to relies on the credentials and also achievements of the applicant. However if should not be also long. Maintaining your resume brief ( optimal two pages) will enable the companies to check what is called for.
7. Producing a powerful unbiased declaration of profile statement is one of the most crucial element of a successfully created resume.
You might be one of the thousands of people that are having problem with attempting to create a return to that adhere to such top qualities of a professional resume. If this holds true, then think about seeking professional writing assistance. At GrandResume.com all our authors are specialists. The work they do such as the resumes they compose will also be very specialist. GrandResume.com authors have actually done their work over many years as well as method makes them best. They can creating impressive resumes that will match your skills with the work in context. When you look for GrandResume.com aid, all you have to bother about is dealing with the job interview as well as verify that you are every bit a expert as depicted by your expert resume.

After some preliminaries providing the title etc. you reach the geometry main menu:
This menu allows you to build your molecule by defining the Cartesian coordinates interactively (ai) or by reading the coordinates from an external file (a, aa). The structure can be manipulated by the commands sub, m, name and del. The command sy allows you to define the molecular symmetry while desy tries to determine automatically the symmetry group of a given molecule.
There exists a structure library which contains the Cartesian coordinates of selected molecules, e.g. CH4. These data can be obtained by typing for example a ! ch4 or a ! methane. The data files are to be found in the directory $TURBODIR/structures. The library can be extended.
You can perform a geometry optimization at a force field level to preoptimize the geometry. For this purpose the Universal Force Field (UFF) developed from Rappé et al. in 1992 [7] has been implemented in the uff module (see also Section 5.4). This can also be used to calculate an analytical approximate cartesian Hessian. If one does so, the start Hessian for the ab initio geometry optimization is this Hessian instead of the diagonal one ($forceinit on carthess for relax module).
Here is an easy way to get internal coordinates, which should work.
Have coord ready before calling define. In the main geometry menu proceed as follows to define redundant internals:
read coord
determine symmetry, if you expect a higher symmetry, repeat with increased tolerance desy 0.1 , you may go up to desy 1..
get redundant internals
quit main geometry menu
To define internals:
read coord
determine symmetry
go to internal coordinate menu
automatic assignment of bends etc.
to quit bond analysis
to get the metric, unnecessary internals are marked d now. If #ideg = #k in the head line you are done. Otherwise this did not work.
go back to main geometry menu
quit main geometry menu
To define cartesians:
read coord
determine symmetry
quit main geometry menu
In the headline of this menu you can see the current number of atoms and molecular symmetry (we use an input for PH3 as example). The commands in this menu will now be described briefly:
Definition of the Schönflies symbol of the molecular point group symmetry. If you enter only sy, define will ask you to enter the symbol, but you may also directly enter sy c3v. define will symmetrize the geometry according to the new Schönflies symbol and will create new nuclei if necessary. You therefore have to take care that you enter the correct symbol and that your molecule is properly oriented. All TURBOMOLE programs require the molecule to be in a standard orientation depending on its point group. For the groups Cn, Cnv, Cnh, Dn, Dnh and Dnd the z-axis has to be the main rotational axis, secondary (twofold) rotational axis is always the x-axis, σv is always the xz-plane and σh the xy-plane. Oh is oriented as D4h. For Td, the threefold rotational axis points in direction (1,1,1) and the z-axis is one of the twofold axes bisecting one vertex of the tetrahedron.
desy allows you to determine the molecular symmetry automatically. The geometry does not need to be perfectly symmetric for this command to work. If there are small deviations from some point group symmetry (as they occur in experimentally determined structures), desy will recognize the higher symmetry and symmetrize the molecule properly. If symmetry is lower than expected, use a larger threshold: <eps> up to 1.0 is possible.
susy leads you through the complete subgroup structure if you want
to lower symmetry, e.g. to investigate Jahn–Teller distortions. The
molecule is automatically reoriented if necessary.
Example: Td → D2d → C2v → Cs.
You may enter Cartesian atomic coordinates and atomic symbols interactively. After entering an atomic symbol, you will be asked for Cartesian coordinates for this type of atom until you enter *. If you enter &, the atom counter will be decremented and you may re-define the last atom (but you surely won't make mistakes, will you?). After entering *, define asks for the next atom type. Entering & here will allow you to re-define the last atom type and * to leave this mode and return to the geometry main menu. Enter q as atom symbol if you want to use a dummy center without nuclear charge. Symmetry equivalent atoms are created immediately after you entered a set of coordinates.
This is a convenient tool to provide e.g. rings: exploit symmetry group Dnh to create an n-membered planar ring by putting an atom on the x-axis.
You may also read atomic coordinates (and possibly internal coordinates) from file, where file must have the same format as the data group $coord in file control.
The Cartesian coordinates and the definitions of the internal coordinates are read in free format; you only have to care for the keywords $coord and (optionally) $intdef and (important!) for the $end at the end of the file. The atomic symbol follows the Cartesian coordinates separated by (at least) one blank. For a description of the internal coordinate definitions refer to 4.1.2.
Entering '!' as first character of file will tell define to take file from the structure library. (The name following the '!' actually does not need to be a filename in this case but rather a search string referenced in the structure library contents file, see Section 4.1).
same as a, but assumes the atomic coordinates to be in Å rather than a.u.
This command allows you to replace one atom in your molecule by another molecule. For example, if you have methane and you want to create ethane, you could just substitute one hydrogen atom by another methane molecule. The only requirement to be met by the substituted atom is that it must have exactly one bond partner. The substituting molecule must have an atom at the substituting site; in the example above it would not be appropriate to use CH3 instead of CH4 for substitution. Upon substitution, two atoms will be deleted and the two ones forming the new bond will be put to a standard distance. define will then ask you to specify a dihedral angle between the old and the new unit. It is also possible to use a part of your molecule as substituting unit, e.g. if you have some methyl groups in your molecule, you can create further ones by substitution. Some attention is required for the specification of this substituting unit, because you have to specify the atom which will be deleted upon bond formation, too. If you enter the filename from which the structure is to be read starting with '!', the file will be taken from the structure library (see Section 4.1). Definitions of internal coordinates will be adjusted after substitution, but no new internal coordinates are created.
This command offers a submenu which contains everything related to internal coordinates. It is further described in Section 4.1.2.
This command offers a submenu which allows you to manipulate the molecular geometry, i.e. to move and rotate the molecule or parts of it. It is further described in Section 4.1.3.
Here, the fragments will be defined as being used by the jobbsse script in order to do a calculation osing the counter-poise correction scheme. In this menu, up to three monomers can be defined, together with their charges and their symmetry. When assigning atom numbers to fragments, if x is entered instead of a number, the program will request the first and last atoms of a range. This will be useful for very large fragments.
The command w writes your molecular geometry and your internal coordinates to file. Afterwards you will be back in the geometry main menu. If the filename entered starts with '!', the structure will be written to the structure library.
name allows you to change atomic identifiers turning, e.g. oxygen atoms into sulfur atoms. After entering the identifier to be changed (remember the double quotation marks : "c ring"), you will be asked to enter the new one. You can use question marks for characters not to be changed, e.g. you enter "??ring" to change c chain to c ring. If you do not enter eight characters, your input will be filled up with trailing blanks.
The command del allows you to delete one or more atoms. After you entered the atomic list, define will show you a list of all atoms concerned and will ask you to confirm deleting these atoms. If any internal coordinate definitions exist, which rely on some of the deleted atoms, these definitions will be deleted, too.
The command banal allows you to perform a bonding analysis, that is, define will try to decide which atoms are bonded and which are not (according to a table of standard bond lengths which is included in the code of define). You must have performed this command before you can use the display commands disb (display bonding information) or disa (display bond angle information). The standard bond lengths (and the bonding analysis available from these) are also needed for the commands sub and iaut (see internal coordinate menu, Section 4.1.2). If you want to change the standard bond lengths (or define more bond lengths, because not for all possible combinations of elements a standard length is available) you can do that by creating your own file with the non-default values and by specifying its full pathname in file .sys.data. The file has the following simple format:
The format of the entries is almost arbitrary: the two element symbols have to be separated by a bar, the new bond distance follows in free format (in atomic units). If the file cannot be read properly, a warning message is displayed.
This command leaves this first main menu and writes all data generated so far to file. The default output file is the file you choose in the first question during your define session (usually control). Now the data groups $coord and $intdef will be written to file. After leaving this menu, you will enter the atomic attributes menu, which is described in Section 4.2.
The parameters in the headline of this menu have the following meanings:
is the total number of symmetry restricted degrees of freedom.
is the number of active internal coordinates specified up to now. Only these coordinates are optimized during a geometry optimization.
is the number of fixed internal coordinates specified. These coordinates will be included in the B-matrix (see command imet), but their values will not be changed during geometry optimization.
is the number of internal coordinates whose values will only be displayed (e.g. by command disi), but no gradients will be calculated for these coordinates nor will they be included in the geometry optimization.
means the number of coordinates which are defined, but will be completely ignored, i.e. they are not even displayed on the screen and will not be used by any program (this is the waste-paper-basket of define).
Note that the #k plus #f must equal the number of degrees of freedom (#ideg) of your molecule, if you want to perform a geometry optimization. If you have less coordinates than degrees of freedom, you will have to specify further ones (commands idef or iaut, see below); if you have more coordinates than degrees of freedom, you will have to throw away some of them (commands irem or imet, see below).
The commands in this menu allow you to define internal coordinates for your molecule, adjust your geometry to special values of these internal coordinates and to control the numeric reliability of the chosen set of internal coordinates. In detail, the commands act as follows.
This command computes the so-called B-matrix, which is the matrix of the derivatives of the (active and fixed) internal coordinates with respect to Cartesian coordinates. This matrix is used in program relax for the conversion from Cartesian coordinates and gradients to internal ones and vice versa. If this matrix is singular (or even nearly singular) this indicates a linear dependency of your internal coordinate set. As a consequence the geometry update (more exactly the transformation of the updated internal coordinates into Cartesian ones) will fail. This may also happen in the course of a geometry optimization if the coordinates run into linear dependency during their optimization. imet checks the B-matrix and removes linear dependent internal coordinates from your list (their status is changed from #k or #f to #d). If B is only near singular, a warning is issued and the lowest eigenvalue(s) as well as the corresponding eigenvector(s) are displayed. In this case, you should try to find better internal coordinates (although this may not always be possible). After the command imet, there may be too few (active plus fixed) internal coordinates, but certainly not too many (because linear dependencies have been eliminated). Perhaps you will have to add new ones or—better!—try command iaut or ired in the preceding menu.
Command imet should be used always after creating internal coordinates with iaut or idef (especially after iaut, because this command creates usually an overcomplete set of internal coordinates).
idef unfolds a little submenu where you can define internal coordinates manually. The exact procedure of the definition will be described below in a separate section.
This command gives you the number of symmetry restricted degrees of freedom (for the atomic set specified by a). Without symmetry, this is just 3N - 6, where N is the number of atoms, but if there is symmetry, some of these degrees of freedom will violate symmetry and therefore are not valid. For geometry optimizations, only the symmetry allowed degrees of freedom are needed, because the symmetry requirements are imposed anyway. In connection with the optional atomic set a this command can help you to find out, in which part of a complicated molecule internal coordinates are missing, if you fail to get the full number of #ideg (which equals the result of ideg all) for the molecule as a whole.
iaut tries an automatic definition of internal coordinates. This command relies on an recursive procedure which tries to simplify the molecule as far as possible and then starts the definition of internal coordinates. At present not all molecular topologies are supported, therefore it may happen that no internal coordinates can be assigned to your molecule or at least a part of it. However, for all cases in which an automatic assignment of coordinates is possible, iaut has up to now proved to provide very good internal coordinates. If iaut works for your molecule (and in most non-pathological cases it will) we recommend strongly to use these coordinates, as they may help you to save several cycles in the geometry optimization procedure. After creating internal coordinates with iaut you should always use imet (see above), because iaut may provide an overcomplete set of coordinates. All coordinates which conflict with the molecular symmetry are set to ignore by iaut.
iman allows you to modify the values of internal coordinates. If you specify a list of atoms a only those internal coordinates which refer to only these atoms will be handled. You will get a list of all (active and fixed) internal coordinates and their current values and you will be able to enter a new value for each of them if you like. Default (<enter>) keeps the value shown. Be aware that all distances are given in atomic units (1a.u. = 52.9pm).
This option allows you to change the status of a coordinate, e.g. from active to display or every other combination. The syntax is ic 5 d, if coordinate no. 5 is to be set to display, or ic k d, if all active coordinates are to be set to display.
This option allows you to delete definitions of internal coordinates from your list. The indices of the internal coordinates always refer to the full list of coordinates including display and ignore coordinates. To make sure you delete the right ones, use disi. Also the indices will immediately change if you delete coordinates. If you want to delete several coordinates, this is therefore done most easily if you delete them in order of descending indices (because deletion of a coordinate has only an effect on the coordinates with higher indices). After choosing the coordinates to be deleted, a list of all coordinates involved will be displayed and you will be asked to confirm deletion.
The syntax is simply irem 5 to delete internal coordinate no. 5 or irem d to remove all 'display' coordinates.
Hitting <return> will bring you back to the geometry main menu.
If you choose idef in the internal coordinate menu, you will get the following information:
The <x> means the status (see page 99) of the internal coordinate entered (k, f, d, i).
The syntax is:
The following types of coordinates are available:
The stre (for stretch) describes a distance between two atoms. It needs only two atomic indices to be given, the order of which is arbitrary.
The invr coordinate (for inverse r) describes an inverse distance. The declaration is the same as for stre, but in some cases (if you are far away from the minimum) the use of invr may result in better convergence.
bend describes a bond angle. It requires three atoms to be specified, of which the third one is the atom at the apex.
Out-of-plane angle: outp abcd is the angle between bond a-d and plane b - c - d.
Dihedral angle: tors abcd is the angle between the planes a - b - c and b - c - d.
This is a special coordinate type to describe the bending of a near-linear system. linc abcd describes the collinear bending of a-b-c (where the angle is defined as for bend: the apex atom appears last) in the plane of b - c - d (see also below, command linp). The system b - c - d has to be non-linear, of course.
This coordinate is similar to linc, but describes the bending of a-b-c perpendicular to the plane b - c - d. These two types of coordinates are in most cases sufficient to describe the bending of near-linear systems. An example may help you to understand these two coordinate types. Consider ketene, H2CCO, which contains a linear system of three atoms. Without symmetry, this molecule has 9 degrees of freedom. You could choose the four bond lengths, two CCH angles and the out-of-plane angle of the C–C bond out of the CHH–plane. But then two degrees of freedom still remain, which cannot be specified using these normal coordinate types. You can fix these by using linc and linp. The two coordinates linc 1 3 2 4 and linp 1 3 2 4 (where 1=oxygen, 2=carbon, 3=carbon, 4=hydrogen) would solve the problem.
The type comp describes a compound coordinate, i.e. a linear combination of (primitive) internal coordinates. This is often used to prevent strong coupling between (primitive) internal coordinates and to achieve better convergence of the geometry optimization. The use of linear combinations rather than primitive coordinates is especially recommended for rings and cages (see ref. [28]). Command iaut uses linear combinations in most cases.
After you entered k comp n where n is the number of primitive internal coordinates to be combined, you will be asked to enter the type of the coordinate (stre, bend, …). Then you will have to enter the weight (the coefficient of this primitive coordinate in the linear combination) and the atomic indices which define each coordinate. The definition of the primitive coordinates is the same as described above for the corresponding coordinate types. It is not possible to combine internal coordinates of different types.
This type helps you to define special ring coordinates. You only have to enter k ring n where n is the ring size. Then you will be asked for the atomic indices of all atoms which constitute the ring and which must be entered in the same order as they appear in the ring. The maximum number of atoms in the ring is 69 (but in most cases the ring size will be limited by the maximum number of atoms which is allowed for define).
Hitting <return> will bring you back to the internal coordinate menu where you can see the new number of internal coordinates in the headline.
Note that the molecular geometry can be modified with the iman command of the internal coordinate menu described earlier, if internal coordinates has been defined. Another option is to select m in the geometry main menu which provides the following submenu:
The meaning of the commands inert and mback should be clear; command move allows you to manipulate the geometry of your molecule. After entering move, you will be asked to specify a set of atoms on which the command shall act. You can use this to manipulate only a part of your molecule, e.g. if you are building a structure from subunits and you want to adjust their relative arrangement. As long as you stay in this menu, the molecular symmetry needs not be correct (so that you can try different movements and/or rotations), but as soon as you leave it, the geometry will be symmetrized according to the present Schönflies symbol. After you specified the atomic set to be considered, you get the following information:
You can thus specify the direction of movement (or the rotational axis) in the form 0. 0. 1. or simply z (which both describes the z-axis) or 1.3256 -3.333 0.2218 for an arbitrary axis. If you want to specify an axis which is related to your molecule, you may also enter two atomic indices which define it. After having specified the axis, you have to enter the distance of movement and the angle of rotation. If you want to perform a simple rotation, enter 0 for the distance of movement and if you want to simply move your structure, enter 0 for the rotational angle.
You can leave this menu and return to the geometry main menu by hitting <return> or by entering any command of the geometry main menu.

Ode to Kevin Ayers
Seven Scarred Faces released the album "The Grudge" in 2012.
I´m not going to pretend I know this band, but when they have a song called "Ode to Kevin Ayers", they are OK I guess!
The following is stolen from their Facebook page:
"Seven Scarred Faces is a musical project headed by singer/songwriter Kevin Charlton, fusing psychadelia, folk, electronica and indie.
The first album, The Grudge, was recorded between June 2011 and May 2012. Partly recorded on 16 track porta studio in a darkened room, and partly in a professional studio (twisted star studios).
Contributing artists so far, to name but a few, include Jon Marett (The Retro Trade) Astrid Dines (History of Gardening) Nev Stevens (A Man Called Crow) Steve Riley (Singer/Songwriter) Ainz Charlton (The Retro Trade)".

I'm a 23 year old underground rapper from Niagara Falls, NY, but since I'm 100% Native American from the Mohawk Tribe I was raised on a small Indian Reservation called Akwesasne on the US/Canadian border in northern NY. Growing up in an impoverished community was difficult, lucky for me music was an outlet and a way out.
I started making music at 16 but didn't drop anything until last year (2013). Then my first big tape "Smug God" dropped in February of this year which got me a little recognition in the underground scene I'm in now.
Since then I've dropped 8 other projects this year and the next big tape "Depressed Millionaire" is on the way; drop date is TBD.

Union fears Ingham rail depot closure
The Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) says rail company Aurizon is planning to close its third north Queensland depot.
It says staff were yesterday told the company is reviewing operations at its Ingham depot, leaving the four employees without a job.
Aurizon has recently closed its Ayr and Tully depots after stopping its freight services.
RTBU spokesman Les Moffitt says Aurizon is working towards stopping the transport of small amounts of freight around Queensland.
"The company has decided with the small freight operation, there'll be some major changes to that - where they'll only focus on full container loads and the customers who receive that freight will be serviced by a truck from Townsville," he said.
He says it is a disappointment to the staff who will lose their jobs.
"Staff were called to a meeting and they were advised by senior managers from down south that they are looking at reviewing the operations in Ingham and there's a high possibility the depot will be closed by the end of the month, which means four local employees will be out of a job," he said.
Aurizon says no final decision has been made until it has finished consulting with employees.
It says the company will continue to provide freight services out of Innisfail and Townsville.
