Sooner or later every one of us will face an irreversible moment that will change our lives forever. If it hasn’t happened to you yet…it will. BELLA is a true love story about how one day in New York City changed three people forever.
A young Chinese girl begins seeking the Lord and learns the truth about what is going on in her own country and what happened within her own family. This film shows the persecution of Christians in China that is happening even today, and although well crafted, is not easy to watch.

Right now, I am feeling compelled to write the South Carolina chapter of Alexander Gordon’s life. So, for now, I plan to return to the South Carolina Gazette to discover everything that I can about Gordon from his arrival in South Carolina until his death in 1754. I need to write this chapter in his life. No, I must do so—if not me, who? And I shall do so.
The task will not be an easy one since I will have to read the South Carolina Gazette on microfilm, but, I am blessed to be able to do so!
Please, join me here, as I share with you the highlights of Alexander Gordon’s life in Colonial South Carolina!
Since that post, I have been working diligently to discover and piece together the details of Alexander Gordon’s life from the time that he arrived in South Carolina until his death in 1754. I have only touched the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, but I am eager to start sharing my findings with you all.
As it turns out, I continue to dig into old newspapers but they are not musty at all. In fact, they are digital! How wonderful, technology! Emily Dickinson wrote in one of her poems, “There is no frigate like a book / To take us lands away.” Today she might well write, “There is no frigate like the Internet / To take us lands away.” How true!
So, for right now, I’m being transported (via the Internet) past place and past time, using digitized versions of The South Carolina Gazette as well as digitized versions of some eighteenth century newspapers published in Scotland and England. I’m pursuing the Scotland/England angle because as I started to find information in The South Carolina Gazette about Alexander Gordon and his patron, James Glen (Governor of South Carolina, 1738-1756), I started wondering what kind of press coverage the two of them received “at home” as they started their journey to the New World.
I’ve found a lot! But where do I begin? And what shall I share?
I am tempted to begin with September 11, 1739, when “his Majesty’s Royal Commission passed the Great Seal, appointing James Glen, Esq., to be Governor and Commander in and Over his Majesty’s Province of South-Carolina in America” (Stamford Mercury, September 13, 1739).
Last Saturday arrived here in the Tartar Man of War commanded by Captain Ward, his Excellency James Glen, Esq; Captain General, Governor and Commander in Chief of this Province, and Vice-Admiral of the same. Upon a Signal of Five Guns being discharged at Fort-Johnson, the Charles-Town Regiment was drawn up under Arms upon the Bay, extending in Two Lines facing one another from the Council-Chamber to Gibbs’s wharfs. His Excellency in passing by Fort-Johnson, was saluted by the Guns of that Fort; and when the Ship came before the Town, by the Guns also at Granville’s, Craven’s, and Broughton’s Batteries. As soon as she came to an Anchor, the Clerk of the Council and Master in Chancery having been first sent on board, to wait on his Excellency, and to shew him a proper Place of Landing, she was afterwards received at the Landing, by the Honourable Edmond Atkin and Charles Pinckney, Esqrs as Members of his Majesty’s Hon. Council who conducted his Excellency through the two Lines of [one word illegible] to the Council-Chamber, to his Honour the Lieutenant Governor attended by the Rest of the Members of Council then on the Spot; His Excellency having there produced his Majesty’s said Commission, he was conducted by them, the Sword of State being carried before, and attended by the Honourable the Commons House, and many Officers and other Gentlemen of Distinction, to Granville’s Bastion, where the same was published in due Form, which was followed by Three Whirras, a Discharge of the Cannon at the Bastions, and a general Volley of the Regiment. Then his Excellency, attended by all the Gentlemen present, marched back in like Manner, to the Council-Chamber, being saluted as he passed by all the Officers of the Regiment. And having there qualified himself to act by taking the usual Cloths, and the Regiment being drawn up as before in Broad-street, his Excellency attended again in the same Manner walked to Mr. Shepheard’s Tavern, where a handsome Entertainment was provided for him, and a numerous Company concluded the Day with Joy, the House being handsomely illuminated (South Carolina Gazette).
Again, however, I think not.
The SPEECH of his Excellency JAMES GLEN, Esq; Captain General, Governor, and Commander in Chief, in and over the Province of South-Carolina, delivered to our Houses of Assembly, on Wednesday the eleventh Day of January, 1743-4, in the Council-Chamber.
Once again, though, I think not. The speech is too long to serve my purposes right now, and, more important, our principal player here—Alexander Gordon—played a behind-the scenes role as Clerk of His Majesty’s Council.
So I won’t begin with any of the above temptations, important as they are. I will save those nuggets for a later post.
What I will begin with, then, is the very first notice of Alexander Gordon that I have been able to find in my journey through the “musty,” digitized versions of newspapers published in Scotland and England.
Proposals, for Printing by Subscription, ITINERARIUM SEPTENTRIONALE: or, A Journey over the greatest Part of the Kingdom of Scotland, and most northerly Parts of England; in One Volume, Folio, divided into three Parts: The First to contain an Account and Description of all the Monuments of Roman Antiquity, that have been found, and are to be seen in the North Parts of the Island. The 2nd, A Description of the most remarkable Monuments of Pictish and Danish Antiquity; together with the other valuable Curiosities of Art that are in Scotland. The 3rd, An Account of all the Curiosities of fine Taste that have been brought from Italy and elsewhere, to be seen in the Collections of the Curious in that Part of the Island. By ALEXANDER GORDON, Citizen of Aberdeen. Subscriptions are taken in at John’s and the Exchange Coffee-houses, Edinburgh.
Itinerarium Septentrionale: or, a Journey Thro’ most of the COUNTIES of SCOTLAND, and Those in the NORTH OF ENGLAND.
PART I. Containing an Account of all the MONUMENTS of ROMAN ANTIQUITY found and collected in that Journey and exhibited in order to illustrate the Roman History in those Parts of Britain, from the first Invasion by Julius Caesar, till Julius Agricola’s March into Caledonia, in the Reign of Vespasian. And thence more fully to their last abandoning the Island, in the Reign of Theodosius Junior. With a particular Description of the ROMAN WALLS in Cumberland, Northumberland, AND Scotland. Then different Stations, Watch-Towers, Turrets, Exploratory Castles, Height, Breadth, and all their other Dimensions; taken by an actual Geometrical Survey from Sea to Sea with all the Altars and Inscriptions found on them. As also a View of the several Places of Encampment, made by the Romans, their Castles, Military Ways, etc.
PART II. An Account of the DANISH INVASIONS on SCOTLAND, and of the Monuments erected there, on the different Defeats of that People. With other curious REMAINS of ANTIQUITY, Never before communicated to the Publick.
That it didn’t appear in the published book is neither here nor there in terms of the work that I am doing with Alexander Gordon and his Humourist essays. What made me sit up and take notice were the words Curious and Taste. In the Humourist essays, Gordon uses the word Curious twice and the word Taste or Tastes seven times. Sometimes the words are used together and sometimes, even, in the context of discussing art! This certainly helps strength my identification of Gordon as the author of the Humourist essays.
But let me hasten back to those musty, digitized newspapers and my early findings there!
Edinburgh, August 22. Several persons of Distinction, etc. are gone hence to meet their Graces the Duke and Dutchess of Athol, who are expected in Town this Night.
We hear that Mr. Alexander Gordon, Author of the Book entitul’d Itinerarium Septentrionale, had the Honour to present their Royal Highnesses with his Book, and was very graciously received; and for his future Encouragement, were please to subscribe to his Proposals for the Maps he designs to publish of the Roman Walls in Britain. That Gentleman is shortly expected in Scotland, to illustrate a Project which will greatly redound to the Advantage of Trade and Navigation in Britain (Caledonian Mercury, August 22, 1726).
Monday last Mr. Alexander Gordon, Author of the Itinerarium Septentrionale, presented his new History of Pope Alexander VI and Caesar Borgia, to the King and Queen, was very graciously received, and had the Honour to kiss their Majesties Hands; and on Tuesday he presented the said book to the Prince, and had the Honour to kiss his R. Highness’s Hands also (Caledonian Mercury, March 27, 1729).
How truly wonderful that Gordon’s early—and, let me hasten to add, important—scholarly works were of such high caliber and of such historical significance that British Royalty took notice and favoured him.

Networking events rank as one of the best ways for entrepreneurs to mingle with potential clients, customers and colleagues. Whether at a conference, corporate gathering or cocktail party, networking events offer a great opportunity for small business owners to meet new people and reconnect with old associates.
However, if you find the idea of mingling in a room full of strangers terrifying, connecting with other business owners and potential customers or clients can be an uncomfortable and difficult process. No matter how you feel about mingling, networking is still an incredibly effective way to meet people who can offer new opportunities to your business.
While a lot of entrepreneurs frequently attend networking events, few actually practice or study the principles behind effective networking. The more practice you have at starting new conversations with strangers, the less nervous the idea of mingling will become. Your confidence will attract others and help you become a lot more than just another face and one more business card.
To become a better mingler, give these tips a try during the next networking event you attend.
Holding a conversation requires the same set of skills as giving a presentation or speech. Practice your public speaking skills whenever you can. Take a class on public speaking or join a local Toastmasters club. When you fee ready, offer to give a guest lecture at a local university or community college or give a presentation at an industry trade show or meeting.
The quality of handshake you offer a stranger says a lot about you and your intentions. When you approach someone you don’t know at a networking event, begin your conversation with a firm handshake. Make eye contact as you greet the person, smile, offer your hand and introduce yourself. This type of confident nonverbal communication will better help you build a rapport right from the start.
When holding conversations, an essential skill that often gets over looked is remembering the other person’s name. Saying someone’s name during a conversation helps to establish a connection and show you’re actively listening to what the person is saying. To help you remember someone’s name, try using it frequently throughout the conversation. Should you forget the name, simply offer your hand and introduce yourself. The other person will more than likely reciprocate by introducing him or herself.
A lot of entrepreneurs fall into the trap of using a common but ineffective approach to networking. Instead of spending time building relationships and establishing rapport, they just hand out and collect as many business cards as possible. However, the best way to create lasting professional connections is to approach potential new customers, clients or contacts with a genuine interest in their hobbies, opinions and businesses. When you start a conversation, try asking open-ended questions to demonstrate interest and sincerity.
The best way to form connections while networking is being able to tell your story during conversations. Everyone has some kind of story to tell. To uncover the other person’s story, you need to ask the right questions. You could start with something like “Who influenced you to become what you are today?” It’s a very personal question and should help others open up to you in return.

We are now 15 employees strong, offering full residential and commercial HVAC services in Whittier, CA, and the surrounding areas. We fix it right the first time!
When the heat of summer is at its peak, you need more than a decent air conditioner. You need a great AC that cools your home as efficiently as it does effectively. Scheduling your air conditioning installation with Greenleaf Heating & Cooling guarantees that your system gets off to a great start.
In the winter season, or even on a chilly autumn night, your heater is going to have to step up to the task of heating your home successfully. It can be easy to forget about how important your heater is when summer is in full swing. Ignoring its service needs puts you at risk of discomfort when the temperatures drop, though.
Temperature is a key factor in determining your comfort. It is not the only factor, however. The quality of your air is also a major player in your overall comfort, not to mention your health.
As you can imagine, heating and cooling a commercial property demands more power than doing so in the average home. Commercial HVAC systems are large, costly, and complex. You need trained professionals with the right type of experience to handle your commercial HVAC services.
One of the services we offer that sets us apart from the competition is our comprehensive maintenance program. HVAC systems require routine maintenance in order to function at peak performance and efficiency levels. Our maintenance program makes it easy for you to keep up with the maintenance that your systems need.
Ensure that your air conditioner won't break down when you need it.

These regulations may be called the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Amendment Regulations, 2019. They shall come into force on the date of their publication in the Official Gazette.
In the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) regulations, 2011, the FSSAI proposes to add Processing Aids in Chapter 3 relating to SUBSTANCES ADDED TO FOOD.
The processing aids listed herein are recognised as suitable for use in foods in conformance with the provisions ofthese regulations and have been assigned an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) or determined (wherever applicable), onthe basis of other criteria, to be safe and the use of processing aids in conformance with these regulations has to betechnologically justified.
Product category: The foods or food processing procedures, in which the processing aid is utilised, are defined by these regulations.
Food in which processing aids may be used: The conditions, under which processing aids may be used in foods, are defined by these Regulations.
Foods in which processing aids may not be used: Unless expressly permitted in these regulations, processing aids must not be added to food.
Processing aid means any substance or material, not including apparatus or utensils, and not consumed as afood ingredient by itself, intentionally used in the processing of raw materials, foods or its ingredients, to fulfil acertain technological purpose during treatment or processing and which may result in the non-intentional butunavoidable presence of residues or derivatives in the final product (as per FSS Act 2006).
Maximum permitted Level of a processing aid, is the highest concentration of the processing aid, determined tobe functionally effective in a food or food category and agreed to be safe and it is generally expressed as mg/kg offood.
Residual level means the level of processing aid remaining in food after processing. The levels should bedesignated with respect to those directly measured by analysis or estimated by other means. Values are in mg/kg andvalues at the detection limit of available analytical procedures are reported as “Not more than”.
EC number (Enzyme Commission number) means the number which the Enzyme Commission uses toclassify the principal enzyme activity.
Justification for the use of Processing Aids: The use of a substance as a processing aid is justified when such use performs one or more technological functionsduring treatment or processing of raw materials, foods, or ingredients. Any residues of processing aids remaining inthe food after processing should not perform a technological function in the final product.
All the processing aids subject to the provisions of these regulations shall be used under conditions of goodmanufacturing practices (GMP) which includes the following.
(c) The substance is prepared and handled in the same way as a food ingredient.
Specifications for the Identity and Purity of processing aidsSubstances used as processing aids should be of food grade quality. This can be demonstrated by conforming to theapplicable specifications of identity and purity recommended under these Regulations, and in case such standardsare not specified, the purity criteria accepted by international bodies such as Codex Alimentarius may be adhered to.The safety of a substance used as a processing aid should be demonstrated by the supplier or the user of thesubstance. The demonstration of safety should include an appropriate assessment of any unintended or unavoidableresidues resulting from its use as a processing aid under conditions of GMP.
not available on the product should also be mentioned and declaration of the vegetarian or non-vegetarian logo, irrespective of the residue level to be mentioned in the label.
Antifoaming Agents: Substances that reduce and hinder the formation of foam in the processing of liquid food products.
Lubricants, Release and Anti-stick Agents: Substances which help to reduce friction between food contact surfaces and substances that provide the critical barrier between moulding surface and the substrate facilitating separation of cured part from the mould.
Microbial Control Agents: Substances that can be used to inactivate spoilage organisms in the processing of foods.
Microbial Nutrients and Microbial Nutrient Adjuncts: Substances that can be used to enhance the growth of the microbial culture intended to be used in food processing.
Bleaching, Washing, Peeling and Denuding Agents: Substances that can be used in making food products white or colourless and substances that aid in surface treatment (washing, denuding and peeling)of food specified in these regulations.
Flocculating Agents and Enzyme Immobilization Agents and Supports: Substances that promote flocculation by causing colloids and other suspended particles in liquids to aggregate and forming a floc. Flocculants are used to improve the sedimentation or filterability of small particles.
Desiccating Agent: Substances that extract water and prevent the formation of lumps during the manufacturing of food products. They are either soluble or insoluble substances that adsorb water due to their chemical properties.
Generally, Permitted Processing AidsThis category includes processing aids which have different technological functions. These shall be used as per the conditions specified in the corresponding table under these regulations.
Processing Aids for “Beer and Malt Beverages”, “Aromatized Alcoholic Beverages” and“Wines” This category includes processing aids which may be used in the course of manufacture of beer, malt beverages, aromatized alcoholic beverages, and wines. These shall be used as per the conditions specified in the corresponding table under these regulations.
Note: The processing aids listed in the Table 1 to 13 may be used in the course of manufacture of food specified in the corresponding table provided the final food contains no more than the corresponding residue level specified in the Table.

Provided is an Android app package EzDroid.apk.
I typically use an Android emulator for testing, it’s free and easy to install on all major platforms, so it’s pretty much a no brainer.
After installation, it looks like it maanges to start but exits shortly after, for some unknown reason. Looks like it is time to inspect the code.
I like looking at high-level languages, so let’s start with that first.
BuildConfig and R are compile-time Android-generated classes, so ignore those.
EZMain looks to be the main Activity class. If you are unfamiliar with Android, that’s where the action happens.
I don’t have any dedicated programmers. I have been programming Atmel chips using the USB-to-serial bitbang method.
Recently, I thought I’d get one because doing a re-programming cycle is taking quite a bit of time (a disadvantage of serial port bitbanging).
A popular one on Aliexpress seems to be this “USB ISP” one, so I bought one. I chose this one because it has a nice aluminium case, and a pinout diagram imprinted on the case, which is handy. After having so many one-off projects with bare PCBs collecting dust, I now appreciate the importance of having projects in their own box or case.
While it has “USBasp” in the item name, it turns out that this was not a USBasp device, and getting it to work like one takes some effort.
avrdude does not recognize the device, even after creating an entry with the corresponding vendor/product ID. This particular device was designed to work with their Windows-based UI called ProgISP and will not work with avrdude.
And apparently you can’t just take the USBasp firmware and flash it into this device, because the circuit is somewhat different.
Disassembling the device is simple. While grabbing the side of the case, firmly push the USB connector inwards and the board should slide out the other end. You can then gently pull the board out by the IDC connector.
The programmer seems to be based off of the popular USBasp programmer, but modified somewhat (to what end I’m not sure). It lacks some features offered by other USBasp programmers, like the ability to control the target’s clock, or to use 3.3V for certain targets. But at $2 with a nice aluminium case, what more can you ask for?
It’s powered by an ATmega88 (I read that older versions were based on ATmega8). The markings on the board indicate that this is a MX-USBISP-V4.00. You can ignore tHe date because it was never updated; the older V3.02 also has the same date. While the GreenPhotons blog was talking about V3.00, I have verified that this version suffers from the same issue.
Note that there are provisions on the PCB to add a voltage regulator, and the PCB link marked “C” can be cut to separate USB power from the rest of the system. Link “D” can be cut if you wish to disable target power. However, none of these options were used.
This causes the USB D- line to be actively driven from PD3, thereby impeding communication to/from the USB host.
The rest of this post will talk about (1) correcting this problem in USBasp, and (2) uploading the firmware into your zhifengsoft programmer.
I have been running a software RAID array at home for some time now. It’s a single network storage where I consolidate all my files. I manage this array manually using the mdadm command. Some people choose to buy a NAS storage box which hides all of the implementation details behind a nice Web GUI, but it’s essentially the same thing under the hood.
As long as the other drives in the array doesn’t develop bad sectors in the same stripe, the data can still be reconstructed from the remaining good blocks. This means that you can somewhat leave the drive as it is for a period without replacement, but of course you are taking a risk.
I thought I’d share my experiences with drive replacements thus far.
Most Linux distributions provide the raid-check script for periodic RAID scrubbing. This is basically a background cron job that tells the kernel to start checking the RAID array. For RHEL/CentOS systems, this should occur every weekend.
During this scrubbing process, all drives within the array are read and their parity blocks are computed, to ensure that everything tallies.

Some egg farmers are in business to provide people with healthy breakfasts. But at The Virtual Casino, we’re laying way more on the table than just scrambled deliciousness. Enter the Hen House for your chance to catch a golden egg and find yourself enjoying a feast of wealth. You’re in charge of the henhouse and there are tons of opportunities to get rich by finding the right eggs. Enjoy up to 25 free games, two big jackpots, and lots of cash hidden in every nest. But keep your eyes open for the rotten eggs. You’ll want to avoid those at all costs and head straight for the golden ones instead!
Hen House is one of the easiest games to play at The Virtual Casino. The hens are busy keeping their eggs warm in this one, so they won’t bother you. Get started by choosing how much you want to bet and how many lines you want to play. Feel free to bet anywhere from $0.01 to $5 per line and from one line through to all 25 lines. Just use the arrows next to the Bet and Lines buttons to adjust your selections. When you’re ready for the hens to lay their eggs, just click the Spin button. The hens will immediately start clucking, the reels will spin, and they’ll come to a stop one by one. You literally don’t have to do anything. If you’ve matched up the right symbols, the game will automatically pay you out credits based on how much you’ve bet.
Never farmed eggs before? Don’t sweat it. It’s really easy—and you don’t even have to wake up at the crack of dawn to make sure the hens are doing their thing. Just follow these simple game controls to take charge of the coop.
Bet: You don’t need a big nest egg to play Hen House. Just use the arrows next to the Bet button to lower or raise your bet. You can wager anywhere from $0.01 to $5 per line.
Lines: hen House is a 25-payline game. You can play all 25 lines, just one, or anywhere in between. Use the arrows next to the Lines button to change your lines selection.
Spin: Ready to watch the hens lay their eggs? Just click the Spin button to get the hens to start clucking.
Autoplay: Rather let the software do all the work? Turn AutoPlay on and you don’t have to worry about hitting Spin. Ever. The software will do it automatically for you, right after your winning bets have been paid out.
You’ll get paid out automatically every time you’ve matched up the right combination of symbols. Some symbols pay out more than others, like the Eggs for example. Hit three or more of those and you’ll get to play a free games feature where up to 25 on-the-hen-house games could be yours.
A massive barn full of hens might feel overwhelming at first. It’s a bit chaotic so we totally understand why you might want to decrease your paylines selection. We recommend not to. If you’re short on funds, decrease your bet amount instead. By decreasing the number of lines you like to play, you risk missing out on a winning combination landing on a payline. And that could mean missing a big jackpot. Instead, lower your bet amount. You’ll still get to play all 25 paylines, but it won’t cost you as much, and you won’t miss out on hitting it big.
The substitute symbol in Hen House is the Hen. Like many other online slots games, the substitute symbol can replace any other symbol in the game to help you complete a winning payline and come out with a win. However, in Hen House, the Hen symbol can’t sub in for the Egg symbol.

“You can’t really know anything if you just remember isolated facts. If the facts don’t hang together on a latticework of theory, you don’t have them in a usable form.
The world’s greatest problem-solvers, forecasters, and decision-makers all rely on a set of frameworks and shortcuts that help them cut through complexity and separate good ideas from bad ones. They’re called mental models, and you can find them in dense textbooks on psychology, physics, economics, and more.
* If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by a to-do list that’s grown too long, maybe you need the Eisenhower Decision Matrix to help you prioritize.
* Use the 5 Whys model to better understand people’s motivations or get to the root cause of a problem.
* Before concluding that your colleague who messes up your projects is out to sabotage you, consider Hanlon’s Razor for an alternative explanation.
* Ever sat through a bad movie just because you paid a lot for the ticket? You might be falling prey to Sunk Cost Fallacy.
* Set up Forcing Functions, like standing meeting or deadlines, to help grease the wheels for changes you want to occur.
So, the next time you find yourself faced with a difficult decision or just trying to understand a complex situation, let Super Thinking upgrade your brain with mental models.

Andrea's Story | Hope Enterprises, Inc.
Andrea came to Hope Enterprises three years ago. She was in her late twenties and living with her parents at the time. The staff at Hope thought their Community Supports Program would be the perfect fit for her, and they were right.
Amber, Andrea’s Hope companion is also one of her best friends, and one of her sponsors for the Special Olympics. Andrea is a competitive young woman who likes to win, so she competes in several different sports, including bowling, bocce and the 800m with her walker. In addition to participating, she also enjoys going to the Pennsylvania state games at Penn State to watch many of the Special Olympic sports. Swimming is one of her favorites.
Aside from her involvement with the Special Olympics, since joining the Community Supports Program, Andrea has moved into her very own apartment in the Trinity House with her gray and white cat, Tom. Trinity House is an independent living facility with 11 apartments. She loves living on her own, especially because she says all of her friends live at the Trinity House, too.
Hope was also able to help her prepare for, and find, her full-time job with SunComm Industries, where she packs plastic silverware. Andrea says her job has taught her to stay on task and focus. But her favorite part is earning a paycheck that she’s able to use to spend on some of her favorite things, like going to the movies, shopping and getting her nails done.
For every disability, there is a HopeAbility. Andrea was able to gain the HopeAbility of independence through the Hope Community Supports Program.

My name is Tim Plante and I'm an assistant professor/clinician investigator at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont (UVM). After completing medical school at UVM in 2011, I traveled to the mid-Atlantic for medicine residency at Georgetown and a general internal medicine fellowship at the Johns Hopkins University, where I was a trainee in the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research while completing a MHS in clinical epidemology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. I have practiced primary care in the past and am currently practicing in an outpatient multidisciplinary thrombosis clinic and on the inpatient hospitalist service at the University of Vermont Medical Center.
I'm a co-founder and an editor-in-chief of WJC, which I started with my good buddy Dave Iberri. Dave and I first met in medical school at UVM where we developed a wiki for our foundations courses. WJC was developed as an IM residency project while I was at Georgetown and Dave was at Stanford. You can read a bit on the background of the project in this piece on the UVM Medicine blog.
NHANES - the mother of cross-sectional databases. Here is my approach to doing NHANES analyses in Stata.

Music Hall’s RDR-1 table-top radio is a reviewer’s companion. For when I was hard at work editing and typing reviews or making industry correspondences, the Musical Hall radio was there not simply playing crystal clear FM music from a classical station as never achieved by any other radios, it is also equipped with the Radio Data System (RDS) technology that displays stations call signs and music title, such as “BEETHOVEN EROICA IN E, OP 55”. Maybe the radio stations will begin to include information on performers before long.
The RDR-1 has a 7-watt, 3-inch speaker that occupies about 3/8 of the front panel on the left, then 2/8 of the panel to the right is provisioned with a large TUNING dial, with a smaller but more protruded VOLUME dial beneath it. The large LCD display between the speaker and the TUNING and VOLUME is joined also by two rows of shiny chrome buttons below it. The little buttons on the first row control the adjustable, 4-levels of brightness of the LCD display, BAND/AUX selection, and M1 through M5 of PRESET STATION. The second row of the little buttons control SCAN/MONO, DISPLAY of miscellaneous RDS texts, SET, AF (alternate frequency for the tuned station), CT and finally, traffic news (an SUV symbol).
The Musical Hall FM radio clock has an internal antenna that pulls in stations my other radios couldn’t get, and it also has a rear switch to provide for external antennae reception via the included cabling. Tuning is of PLL synthesis via a large knob rotary above the VOLUME knob, and the tuning action is precise and smooth, a welcome break from the ubiquitous, maddening push-button variety. I used the M1 to M5 PRESET STATION buttons beneath the large, lighted LCD display.
A rear port behind the speakers makes it very clear of what this little radio intends to do, and its ability to do it must be heard to be believed. Position this little warrior against a wall, adjust the bass to the highest level, and you want to crank it up and rock. Even with classical music.
The one feature that will make any radio perfect is a DVR-like functionality, that records ongoing programming and allows rewind, so that when the radio host/hostess makes an announcement while I am working, I could rewind a few seconds and capture what he/she was saying. The addition of CD playing function would make this little warrior more triumphant, although I must conceit to the fact that radio listening through this Music Hall is so enjoyable that I am not sure I want to miss every moment of the revitalized FM experience.
A credit card-like remote replicates all controls functions of the buttons on the RDR-1. I get it, Roy Hall must have thought about coining this little darling R2D2…This incredibly chic-looking little radio not only sounds very balanced for its size, with its maple veneer and cool aluminum trims, it adds a much-needed chicness and youth power to my daily routine. It’s amazing how differently I would feel around my workplace in the company of the RDR-1. Music Hall offers a dark wood trim on this little darling gadget, but I could use the lightheartedness of the maple-and-silver touch.
By virtue of the fact that whenever I’m at work I would turn on the RDR-1, I now listen to the RDR-1 more than my reference audio system. So, the sleek-looking, décor-friendly, space-saving little RDR-1 accomplished the most amazing feat of becoming a most indispensable element in my daily activities.
Will you please tell me if this radio has a port for headphones? Nighttime listening!
According to the owner’s manual page 3 (accessed here: http://musichallaudio.com/pdfs/music-hall-audio-rdr-1-radio-manual.pdf), the unit has an “earphone jack” on the face plate.
Hope this 3 years later reply helps!
