Chatta is a teaching method used in schools by teachers and teaching assistants. It’s also used by parents. Chatta involves teaching using audio-visual technology and has been designed to support progress in language, communication and literacy. Chatta links experiences and subject content with images and modelled language. The Chatta training and support helps teachers and parents use the approach to achieve the best outcomes for pupils aged 3 to 18.
How can Chatta help my school?
The way Chatta is used in teaching has been designed to combine a number of proven techniques. Chatta uses images and words to mirror the way people think. The visual nature of Chatta strengthens long term memory for factual content, sequence and language. Teachers build audio-visual storyboards as they are teaching. During the teaching process language is modelled and rehearsed. All resources are shareable and accessible outside lessons at home and school and used for pre and post teaching reinforcement.
Every Chatta lesson follows the same format. The only thing that changes is the subject and level.
Chatta is a teaching approach which uses the Chatta app (IOS and Android) The approach also includes training and support, resources for teachers, teaching assistants and parents/carers.
What are the Chatta resource modules?
Chatta can make an impact in many areas of a school. The resource modules provide training, activities, software and ongoing support to ‘Chatta Champions’ who lead the use of Chatta in their school. Each Chatta module is often led by a different person.
How do teachers use Chatta?
Chatta can be used with whole classes, groups and individuals. Teachers use the approach to teach based on the subjects they are covering and they create audio-visual resources with their classes. Teachers model language throughout and provide opportunities for oral rehearsal for the pupils. Chatta provides simple activity plans which can be used or easily adapted. Teachers share content created through Chatta with parents and carers. In the same way as a school often has examples of writing for each year group, Chatta is often used to created examples demonstrating the use of spoken language.
How do parents use Chatta?
There are several ways parents and carers use Chatta. They are encouraged to use content created in the classroom to help their children rehearse and improve their spoken presentations. Parents and Carers also use the Chatta App to make stories with their children based on the activities taking place at home. Chatta Matters is a weekly activity ideas resource which is sent to parents and carers.
Training is online or face-to-face. Online and webinar training leads to an action plan and step by step implementation of Chatta in the classroom. Face to face training includes demonstration activities with classes and groups of pupils.
Once training is complete, every Chatta Champion has a simple action plan and takes part in an online or telephone impact review every 2 months leading to a new action plan.
Is Chatta available in my country?
Chatta is used by schools in countries all over the world. It is available in all countries. If face to face training is required transport and accommodation costs must be covered.
Due to the work undertaken by both the Chatta Champion and Chatta Team before the approach is used in the classroom any free trial requires full payment in advance and is measured against jointly agreed success criteria. If you would like to discuss a trial of Chatta please contact our team to discuss the best way to proceed.
We will find out how Chatta can provide a solution to the challenges you are addressing and work out costings and propose next steps. All proposals are flexible and can be reviewed. Once a decision is made to move forward the Chatta Champion begins the training based on an initial action plan.
How much does Chatta cost?
Costs can vary greatly from school to school. Costs are available on request and depend on the number of Chatta modules selected and the type and amount of training required.
Is an online demonstration available?
What research and evidence supports Chatta?
Chatta’s approach combines a number of proven methods in a way which means they are all taking place at once. Some of Chatta’s most powerful aspects combine the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, Dual Coding and Cognitive Load Theory.
Chatta involves an ongoing process of impact review which gives schools real-time evidence of impact.
We would welcome any evaluation of the impact of Chatta on any scale.
Chatta was developed by Chris Williams and David Andrews based on their work on a long-term project in a large number of schools and nurseries.
Chris is a former Special School Teacher and Primary Special Needs Coordinator. He has spoken about his work at conferences around the world including South East Asia, the USA and Finland. Chris has advanced qualifications in special education and teaching children with autism.
David is an award-winning teacher currently working as Director of Curriculum at a large trust of schools in Yorkshire, UK. His work as ‘Mr Andrews Online’ has attracted a global audience and numerous awards and he is widely regarded as a classroom pioneer for his high impact use of technology.
Chris and David recently taught an online live lesson to 40,000 students around the world, raising over twenty thousand pounds for children’s charities. | 2019-04-20T16:41:25 | https://chattalearning.com/frequently-asked-questions/ |

Nationwide has bought a stake in an Israeli company that's on a mission to eliminate car crashes.
The insurer's investment in the company, Nexar, is part of a $100 million commitment Nationwide made last summer to invest in young companies in insurance and financial services.
The move is designed to keep Nationwide relevant at a time of great technological change and to continue to meet the insurance and financial needs of policyholders.
For Nexar, Nationwide's investment — it won't say how much — is part of a new $30 million round of funding that the Tel Aviv-based company received.
Nexar provides drivers, insurers and automakers with safe-driving tools that detect, record and warn drivers of real-time road hazards.
The company offers a free dashcam app that's connected to a network that can provide alerts to drivers about impending dangers and communicate with other vehicles in the network about dangers beyond their field of view. Insurers can benefit because the technology can prevent accidents — and claims — and should there be a crash, can help with accident reconstruction, expedite legitimate claims and prevent fraudulent ones.
Since the app was launched in 2016, drivers in 740 cities across 160 countries have driven more than 100 million miles with Nexar, with 10 million miles driven in December alone. After activating its network in New York City in 2016, Nexar said there was a 30 percent reduction in collisions among its users.
Other companies, including Columbus-based State Auto Financial, have made similar commitments to invest in technology in recent years.
"It fits squarely into the innovation themes that we've announced," said Erik Ross, leader of Nationwide's venture capital business, of Nationwide's investment in Nexar.
"What they've built is the leading edge, next generation of technology with the whole idea of protecting everyone on the road from a pedestrian to a driver. That is near and dear to our heart."
So far, Nationwide has made eight investments in technology and expects to eventually make a total of 30 to 40.
"We think about risks changing and evolving. We're still in the business of insuring risk," he said.
Nationwide has also bought a stake in California-based startup Matic, which has developed technology that allows borrowers to buy homeowners insurance while getting a mortgage.
The technology reduces the time to obtain insurance and gives homeowners quotes from several companies. The company has provided more than 300,000 quotes to customers.
The investment recognizes the shift away from traditional models of buying coverage through an agent, Nationwide said.
Matic recently opened an operations center in Columbus.
Matt Armstead, executive director of Fintech71, a nonprofit that launched last year which makes investments in young financial-services companies, said he is glad to see insurers such as Nationwide make these kinds of investments.
"What you're talking about these investments, it may end up taking five to seven years to come to maturation. That's a big bet for a company that lives quarter to quarter," he said. "I think it's really smart to make these bets, testing the waters and exploring the strengths of these partnerships." | 2019-04-26T09:58:43 | https://www.dispatch.com/business/20180131/nationwide-invests-in-company-aiming-to-eliminate-car-crashes |
In simple words, Infographic Design is meant to transform your boring, drab content into an exciting, colorful and obviously informative with its visual representation. However, there are three parts which make an infographic effective: visual, content and knowledge.
Because if something which is not attractive to your eyes, it won’t make an appeal to you, hence, visual is very important.
An attractive design with no quality content will obviously prove a showdown to the entire thing.
The most important part, if the infographic doesn’t propose anything creative or don’t strike a new idea than what’s the point of designing an infographic; therefore, it is very important that an effective infographic contains all the three parts which impart an effective message.
How can Infographic Design help?
Well, an infographic design is something which brings life to complex analysis with the help of visual interpretation and which effectively helps in giving a clear idea of the entire project to your customers. Infographics are just like those cartoons, which teach you life lessons in a simple way. The colorful representations will pave a long way in terms of retention of the knowledge and data.
You might have a friend who is an expert in Photoshop and you end up giving the project to him to design your infographic portfolio. Well, that is the mistake most of the people does, infographic designing is not only about making creative designs, it has many more purposes. It will transform your complex business ideas into interactive visuals which is not only creative but also informative. Therefore, when it comes to business, always trust the experts.
Infographic Designers at NCode are trained and skilled to transform your ideas into creative images.
We value our clients and therefore we offer exclusive customer support meeting all their requirements via phone, email or chat support.

I’ve been having some fun with an online copywriting project over the past few days which has really got the creative juices flowing. It has been especially fun because of the particular tone of voice required by the client.
Each website will have its own “voice” which should ooze from every single sentence on the page. Some voices are very corporate, aimed at straight-talking business people who aren’t interested in eloquent metaphors and imagery; others are quirky, fun and just a little bit silly – think of Innocent Smoothies for a good example.
PR agencies have a difficult decision to make when it comes to the tone of their websites. While they need to demonstrate their team’s exceptional writing skills and creative flair, they also need to prove that they know how to cut through the fluff and get down to the hard facts at the centre of a good story.
So, how do you do it? One way is to bring out the personalities of the team and have a multitude of voices respresenting the company. Another is to write as your chairman would speak – after all, it’s his agency so why shouldn’t it have his voice?
It can be a tough call and it’s definitely an important one. The content and copywriting on your website needs to persuade a potential client to pick up the phone, after all!
Do PRs and marketers need weather forecasting expertise?
Being a PR or marketer in the UK can be tricky, to say the least. Not only do we have the same issues as other professionals in our industry across the world, we also have an extra challenge in the form of the notoriously unreliable British weather.
Topicality is one of the key ingredients of a successful campaign. If your story hits the mark in terms of what people are interested in on that given day, your campaign can reach great heights. If you’re slightly off base though, don’t expect to see much media coverage or many resulting sales.
This weekend the weather in the UK was phenomenal; a balmy 28 degrees without a cloud in the sky. If your client was lucky enough to launch its summer clothing range, a new ice cream flavour or convertible sports car, I’m sure they’re reaping the rewards of great timing already.
But this is the UK. The forecast for the coming week is already dampening spirits as we are told to expect rain and swiftly falling temperatures. So how can a PR or marketer guarantee that their summer campaign won’t be forgotten the second the sunshine makes its hasty retreat? Is it all about luck rather than judgement when it comes to British summertime marketing?
Perhaps our PR and marketing industries should team up with some friendly local weather forecasters. Then again, would that really give us any great advantage over the inconstant British weather?
I encountered some new marketing tools last week that got me thinking about alternative methods of communicating a message to a particular audience. While I’m sure I will always fall back on the trusty press releases, opinion articles and case studies of my PR days, I’ve been expanding my marketing tool kit and appreciating how other methods can be just as effective at getting the message across.
For instance, I managed a video/animation project last week which will be used to enhance one of my client’s newly built event websites and support its associated social media campaign.
From digesting the original brief to communicating it to the new media designer assigned to the project, managing the client’s delivery expectations, ensuring amends were made and presenting the finished product, every step was part of a learning curve that brought me closer to understanding how and why marketing videos are so effective.
Who hasn’t watched a video on YouTube and shared it with someone else afterwards because they knew that a friend was equally as likely to enjoy it? For B2C marketing campaigns, I can certainly see the relevance and potential of video. A picture’s worth a thousand words, after all.
While it was difficult for me to shift my allegiance from words to pictures for the week, I’m sure that I’ll be eagerly awaiting the results of the week’s exploits.
A couple of months ago, a fantastic local copywriter, Ben Locker, offered a selection of other writers the opportunity to support his blog by hosting a series of guest posts. While all of them stuck to the general subject of copywriting, the contributors offered up their thoughts on some unusual and fascinating topics. I’d highly recommend that you head over to the site and have a read for yourself if you’re interested in the subject.
Ben’s exploit got me thinking about how a blog focussing on a specific subject can continue to engage readers week after week, month after month. Company/agency blogs have the advantage of featuring multiple contributors meaning that things remain fresh, interesting and diverse in opinion. I see guest blogging as a real opportunity for individuals who run their own blogs and are looking to add a bit of spice and variety.
There are benefits for both parties. The host of the blog receives some (hopefully) great new content; the contributor receives a valuable web link and new traffic from a relevant site. Both will presumably also benefit from exposure to a new audience as a result of the exchange.
So, even though this blog is still relatively new and is just forging a place for itself, I’m interested in hosting a few guest blogs. The aim is to broaden the site’s readership and offer readers some alternative perspective on marketing and public relations. If you’d be interested in contributing, please leave a comment below this post or get in touch via any of the methods on the contact page.
I’d also be interested to hear from anyone who has experience of guest blogging, particularly if they’d be willing to share any feedback – positive or negative – that they received as a result.
Is the PR industry really that cut-throat?
Becca has just started her own PR and marketing blog and has already featured in PR Week’s best of the technology PR bloggers which I think tells you a lot about the quality of her writing. Having taken a year away from PR to work for a digital agency her posts bring an intelligent view of what is required from both skill sets.
When the topic of the public relations industry comes up in conversation, many people are still quick to declare that it’s not only fiercely competitive but also one of the most cut-throat professions out there. The PR professionals that I’ve met and worked with, however, have completely overthrown this stereotype. They have been willing to direct readers away from their own blogs, share the “link juice” that is so valuable for SEO with a newly established site and offer advice and guidance based on their own experience.
I don’t doubt that some people working in the PR industry are far less generous and reputable than others (surely this is the case in any line of work?) but every now and then it’s good to recognise that not everyone is looking for personal gain by using those around them. Some are just happy to share their knowledge, help others where they can and, ultimately, improve the reputation of PR professionals and bloggers alike. | 2019-04-23T02:38:09 | https://marketingandprblog.wordpress.com/2010/05/ |
Thanks Roseanne. I purchased Miss Daisy by mail order without ever touching a long arm. We had a few hiccups along the way most of them operator error and one time I had to send her back to California for repair. The company was really good and they paid all shipping under warranty. Miss Daisy and I are still friends after 3 years even though I have not achieved the skills I would like to have yet.
This is really pretty! I love the pumpkin patterned fabric, and it looks great in this design!
Thank you. I love the fall colors also.
Those quilted leaves in the border look pretty great to me!
Thank you Kathy. That is one of only a few designs that I feel comfortable with doing.
I love orange and gray/grey together – great colors! The quilted leaves are a nice touch!

Thus when we see how God cares for these beautiful little creatures, we learn more about his care for us. For example, it is amazing that birds can survive in our cold winters. While people bundle up to avoid frostbite and hypothermia, wild birds hop about on the snow in their bare feet with nothing to wear but a thin layer of feathers! This is astonishing, another testimony to the Creator’s surprising inventiveness as he engineered all sorts of cold-resistant capabilities into birds.
As is often the case, people can be one of the ways God cares for his world—full bird feeders provide food when everything else is covered by snow or encased in ice. If you are able to put up a birdfeeder in the cold winter months, you will be caring for God’s creation while enjoying it. Furthermore, increasing our knowledge of birds helps us understand them and care for them in better ways.
In our society, there are many ways to learn more about birds, and a unique one happens this weekend, February 15-18. The Great Backyard Bird Count is an excellent way to intentionally focus on birds, observing them, identifying them, and learning more about them while contributing to a worldwide, multi-year citizen science project. During the 2018 Great Backyard Bird Count, 180,728 people across the globe counted almost 29 million birds representing 6456 species! Joining the many thousands of birdwatchers throughout the world this weekend is an ideal homeschool project—educational, meaningful, and time-limited, with opportunities to continue something similar year round.
It is easy to participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count.
Access a list of common birds in your area by entering your postal code. Many of the birds on the list will have links to photos and descriptions so you can be sure that you are identifying the right bird. Bird identification apps are also available on the website.
Read the thorough instructions, but don’t let your kids be overwhelmed by them; the website explains the basics quite simply when you go to submit your count.
Download a printable form to help you keep track of important details while you are watching the birds.
Finally, submit your bird lists. You may enter your observations from as little as one 15-minute session or as many long sessions as you want. Data from all over the world will be gathered to provide a snapshot of where birds were this weekend.
According to a news release, birders in Canada and the US may see some extra varieties this year due to variations in seed, cone, and berry production.
If this birdwatching project appeals to your family, you can continue it year round, watching birds, keeping track of what you saw, and contributing your results to a scientific data base called eBird. This project, which is related to the Great Backyard Bird Count, is the world’s largest biodiversity-related citizen science project. On a personal note, it helps you keep track of the birds you see anywhere and anytime and comes with a free 3 hour course on how to find more birds and record your sightings. At the same time, it gathers bird data from around the globe for scientists.
I hope you will be able to join the Great Backyard Bird Count with your family this weekend, learning to see and give thanks for the beauty of birds, and remembering that God cares for you even more than he cares for these amazing little creatures. I’d love to hear about your bird adventures this weekend.
*Because I am woefully unsuccessful at photographing birds with my phone, I used these media images from the Great Backyard Bird Count website. These are birds we see regularly in our front yard.

In this R-only entry, we'll make the figure more flexible and a bit more robust. See the example linked above for SAS code, or check out Rick Wicklin discussing the same subject-- Rick gives some additional resources.
The R code relies heavily on the layout() function. We discussed it last time in a simpler setting with only one column of plots. The goal for the current plot is to enable a title for the whole figure-- this ought to be centered over the whole graphic-- and x- and y-axis labels. In the previous version, there was no title to the page at all and the axis titles would occasionally fail. To do this, we need a layout with a single cell at the top for the whole width of the graphic, a tall narrow cell at the left for the y-axis title, only in the bottom row, and a thin cell at the bottom, only on the left, for the x-axis title. This turns out to be fairly simple with layout() and the results can be checked with layout.show().

I just listened to a Planet Money episode about the evolution of apples (the fruit, not the computers) from a category mired in abject commodity to a portfolio of thriving brands.
It’s amazing how powerful branding can be. At Northlich, we’re always talking about how we don’t believe in commodities and that brands in those categories just haven’t figured out how to tell their story yet. This podcast is a powerful reminder of that fact, but what’s extra interesting is its discussion of how the path to an effective brand started by addressing a business problem.
Too often, marketing is called on to just make a brand “feel different” without implementation of any operational changes. And sure, it’s possible; but there’s a low probability of success. The most effective way to an effective brand is to commit to differentiation and market it. Said differently: Do something awesome and then tell everyone about it.
You may say, “My brand is already doing lots of awesome things.” And that might be true, but will it sound awesome when we tell potential consumers about it?
Think about your target consumer. Put yourself in that mindset. They are not engineers, salespeople or board members. They don’t necessarily want to hear how it was done; they just want to know why they should care.
Consider the other Apple (the computer one). When they launched the first iPod, it was a revolution in technology—absolutely crammed with engineering breakthroughs. But they didn’t talk about any of it.
Does your business face a similar challenge? Are you mired in commodity? Or do you struggle to effectively communicate your point of differentiation? Let us come at it from the consumer’s mindset. It’s what we do best. | 2019-04-23T06:13:32 | https://www.northlich.com/news/2015/05/29/comparing-apples-to-apple/ |

Postfeminist ideology “takes feminism into account” by framing liberal feminist principles as already achieved, thus preempting a more radical feminist politics that it constructs as both unpleasant and irrelevant. In a corresponding mode, postfeminist cultural objects derive their power in part by preempting feminist critique with irony. It is precisely this ideological double bind that the comedian Amy Schumer confronts. This essay analyzes how Schumer develops a feminist critique of the knotty problems of postfeminist ideology. Postfeminism casts feminism as abject, as the “repulsive and disgusting” monster that perpetually endangers the “empowered” postfeminist woman of today. But Schumer inverts this construction: in her show's sketches, postfeminism as an ideological formation materializes in an array of comic abjections to which Schumer's persona is subject. In short, the condition of postfeminism is one of abjection. The comic hyperbole of Schumer's character's abjections, combined with her uncritical complicity, invokes for the viewer feminist solutions. | 2019-04-19T20:55:23 | http://fmh.ucpress.edu/content/3/2/121 |

The police originally stopped my client after receiving a call from a gas station attendant reported to the police that my client was acting oddly. After having my client perform the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, the police arrested my client for OUI-Drugs and Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle.
I filed a motion to suppress and motion to exclude which successfully resulted in having the entire case dismissed. My client was able to keep his license and did not have to pay any fines or fees. He was ecstatic! | 2019-04-20T08:14:19 | https://www.bernardatlaw.com/september-2017-first-offense-dismissed-3 |
A guest blog post by local champion, Cristiano Siri.
Design Jam Rome #1, a two-day community collaboration event focused on User Experience Design (UX), where designers, professionals and students – gathered in teams – end up with different solutions in terms of web and mobile applications in response to a common social challenge.
Based on a Mozilla initiative, this is the first two-day jam — which follows the a series of one-day events in London (UK), Oxford (UK), Chapel Hill (USA), Iasi (RO), Barcelona (ES) and Milan (IT).
A challenge topic will be revealed the first morning of the workshop. The teams will discuss the issue proposed together with professional mentors. The topic itself has a social nature and it is relevant to the area. Being the issue planned together with an institution or NGO or no-profit organization, the team’s outputs will have an immediate local impact.
To facilitate the free exchange of ideas, all outputs, visualizations and other contributions made during the day are shared globally under Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licenses.
Design Jams are for anyone who wants to improve their design, collaboration, brainstorming and presentation skills by tackling an interesting UX design challenge. It’s an open call for interaction designers, UX researchers, information architects, web and graphic designers, developers, product managers + more…. from students to experienced practitioners.
Registration is being handled via Eventbrite – is reserved to the first 30 persons who will book in.
Luca Simeone is managing partner of Vianet and teaches design anthropology and interaction design at La Sapienza University and Ateneo Impresa Graduate Business School in Rome. He has published reviews and articles on design anthropology and ethnographic methods applied to design practices. He co-edited the books Beyond Ethnographic Writing (Armando, 2010) and REFF (DeriveApprodi, 2010) exploring new narratives that combine traditional writing with augmented reality technologies. In 2009 he founded FakePress, a think tank exploring the future of publishing and in 2011 he was a research affiliate with the SENSEable City Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge MA.
I’m PhD in Public Administration and Management, title of thesis “Creating social entrepreneurs. From civil society movements to social innovation: the role of the social enterprise incubators and centres for social innovation”, at University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, where I also teach “Management of Nonprofit Organizations” . While coaching 10 year olds on Roman football pitches, I’m member and coach of Liberi Nantes, costituita, sport association totally made up of refugees and forced migrants (the association is supported – free of charge – by the UNHCR). I’m member in Solidarity Finance association (www.finansol.it), co-founder of The Hub Milano and founder of The Hub Roma.
Follow @designjamroma or the #designjamroma hashtag on Twitter for all the latest news and updates (schedule, topic, activity, outputs etc.).
They are one-or-two-day design sessions, during which people will team up to tackle an engaging User Experience challenge. Similar to developer ‘hackdays’ the aim is to get enthusiastic local UX professionals, designers, and developers from both local technology and university sectors together to learn and collaborate with each other while working on a design problem.

Willa Cather is considered to be one of the best chroniclers of pioneer life in the 20th century. She had a long and distinguished career writing essays, poems, short stories, and novels. This story is a powerful example of a frequent theme: the haunting, sometimes painful, contrast between city and country life.

According to Research Report Insights (RRI) report, titled “Thailand Water Pump Market by 2021”, the Thailand water pump market is estimated to account for US$25.6 million by the end of 2021, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.3% in the forecast period from 2015 to 2021.
Certain factors boosting the Thailand market for water pump include expansion in network of water supply, expanding arable land, low cost of manufacturing, massive industrialization as well as urbanization and land under the production of cereal. As Thailand country is driven by agriculture, so development in agricultural sector along with growing cereal production and arable land leads to rising micro irrigation trend, which is anticipated to escalate the centrifugal water pumps deployment in various small farms.
The Thailand water pump market is categorized into type, pump type, end-use application, pump capacity and regions. Based on pump type, the Thailand water pump market is fragmented into monobloc and submersible water pump. Among these, the segment of submersible water pump in 2015 was dominant with 63.5% of the total share in the Thailand water pump market after the segment of monobloc water pump which was over 36%. Over the forecast period, growth in the segment of monobloc water pump is estimated to be driven by growing market demand for food production application and agro-industrial purposes.
Based on end-use application, the Thailand water pump market is categorized into agriculture, domestic and industrial. Among these, the segment of agriculture is anticipated to remain dominant in the next six years and will also gain BPS as most GDP is generated from agricultural sector. However, the segment of industrial sector is projected to exhibit highest CAGR by the end of 2021. Based on pump capacity, the Thailand water pump market is fragmented through HP range into 5–10HP, 15–20HP, 3HP, 10–15HP, and 20–30HP. Ranges with smaller HP are anticipated to see average growth over the forecast period.
Regionally, the segmentation is done into North Eastern Thailand, Southern Thailand, Northern Thailand, and Central & Eastern Thailand. Among these regions, in 2014 Central & Eastern Thailand was the market leader with revenue share of 30.2% of the total Thailand market for water pump. In this region, the Bangkok area is dominant and is the most prosperous region too in comparison with the Northeast region being infertile and the poorest areas while the market for Southern Thailand is expected to lose 80 BPS in the next six years. Also, the growth of East Asia market is primarily driven by the newer infrastructure development in heavy industry, rising water pump adoption in power plants, plants for municipal wastewater treatment, irrigation as well as water facilities for drinking.
Some of the major players in the Thailand water pump marketinclude KSB AG, Ebara Corporation, Grundfos and Kirloskar Brothers Ltd., among others. | 2019-04-26T14:12:54 | https://www.articlesdunia.com/business/thailand-water-pump-market-will-hit-at-a-cagr-of-6-3-from-2015-to-2021 |

Watching Charlie Haas carry off the best book reading event ever with his performance (I don’t use that word lightly) from his new novel, The Enthusiast. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who needs their spirits enthused. (Learn more about the book here.) If he is scheduled in a venue near you—like Los Angeles on the 18th of June—don’t miss it.
Not a highlight per se but worthy of a few words was seeing the Francis Bacon show at the Met. Bacon. He’s been a problematic presence in my life as an artist for as long as I can remember. As an art student I could see a mastery in his work, but it was not a mastery that instructed, inspired or enlightened my own intentions. He wasn’t speaking to me, and my “yes but” acknowledgment of his contribution hasn’t changed in all those years since I first began this journey.
I went to see this exhibit more from a sense of obligation than aesthetic connectedness. Bacon’s influence on 20th century art is de facto although the shadow he cast darkened the fields in a completely different part of the art making vineyard from where I have been laboring. Sometimes art is a snake charming of the dark, and sometimes it is a plea for transcendence. Bacon is the prince of the former.
My friend Andria said, Bacon is painting what’s there, but it’s the “what’s there” that the rest of us won’t allow ourselves to see. Bleak that is that deep can be dismissed as easily as the ambient bliss seen by another set of eyes. Bacon’s conflation of Michelangelo and Muybridge, his perennial view of flesh as pusillanimous vulnerability, his obsession with certain forms—the geometric artifice of his work, the shade pulls, the mouths that devour, the human/animal confluence—all bring his dark vision to a powerful, dissonant, full orchestra chord.
Some of the pieces in the show had a toned down rage that made it a bit easier for me to sit with what is painterly in his work. His portraits, of himself, his lovers and even William Blake, have moments for me that are not accompanied by the scream of pain I feel when I look at most of his larger canvases.
But having seen his work for years, I may have been somewhat inoculated over time. My partner David has not had as much exposure to the work, and I watched as he looked intensely at each painting, trying to understand the context and intent. He seemed to be able to detach himself from the dark content and did not flag in his exploration, but the next morning he had a very different sense of the imagery. He said he woke up haunted by the pernicious humanoid forms that sport nothing but a hungry mouth, reminding him of every dark impulse he has ever had. It was hard to shed those images once lodged, and the rest of the day that sense of dark creaturehood was with him.
Those particularly frightening Baconian forms are described wonderfully by Gilles Deleuze: Bacon’s scream is the operation through which the entire body escapes through the mouth. Not surprising that Bacon has mastered how to seed the unconscious with time lapse hauntings, those images that come back when you are most vulnerable and least expect them.
The best part of a getaway weekend to my old ‘hood in Manhattan however was reconnecting with friends, some of them with me for more years than I can count–Mimi Kramer, Mike and Peggy Porder, Paul and Lynda Gunther, Andria Klarer, Melissa and Annabelle Heckler, Jason and Alicia Hall Moran, Kathryn Kimball. There’s nothing like some serious high contrast to make the darks dark and lights light.
i stumbled upon your blog and happy that i did so!
my husband & I are going to check out Bacon show in a week or so- also the Odilon Redon show- can’t wait to get to New York from New Mexico!
Cathy, I did see your work on Red Ravine, and it is very very powerful. I would be so interested to hear your response to that many Bacons in one place. I can imagine a complex set of responses given your Buddhist orientation as well as your willingness to be very direct in your imagery and message.
Thanks for stopping in and responding. It was an intense weekend, and I feel that you understand what I was trying to convey in my post.
it is interesting to read the varied reactions of Francis Bacon’s work on people. There seems to be two schools of contemporary art most seen today: Warhol’s Pop = Everything mankind does is great, and Francis Bacon’s = Mankind is horrible.
Artists, I believe, essentially hold up a mirror to let us know who we are. I am very influenced by both Bacon and Warhol, but I am almost certain that Francis had a better pulse on the identity of our species. Warhol’s world is what we hope to be. | 2019-04-23T04:48:58 | https://slowmuse.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/light-seekers/ |

Traditionally, petroleum (oil) has been the main source of energy for the U.S. national economy and transportation sector. In 2010, 83% of all the energy required by the United States was provided by fossil fuel sources. The energy use in the United States can be divided into four broad sectors: transportation, residential, commercial, and industrial. The transportation sector accounts for 28% of the total energy demand, and 96% of the energy used in this particular sector comes from fossil fuel. Based on records for 2011 and 2012, to satisfy these energy requirements, the United States needs to import, on average, 337,143 Mbbl (1 Mbbl = 1,000 oil barrels) of crude oil and ?petroleum products per month. Nearly 70% of the imported oil is allocated to the transportation sector to satisfy the fuel demands of cars, trucks, airplanes, and marine transport. Figure 1 shows the petroleum flow in the United States in millions of barrels per day. The high U.S. dependency on foreign oil together with the continually increasing price of oil and its derivatives have encouraged the national policy of reducing oil dependency by promoting carbon fuel (gasoline) displacement in the transport sector.

Research suggests Appalachians experience poorer mental health outcomes than most Americans, but many residents already have access to a potential cure– right in their own backyards.
A growing number of Appalachia-based nature enthusiasts are starting a movement to introduce the region to forest therapy, a healing activity alternatively known as shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing. Though largely employed near urban areas, proponents argue the practice could help rural Appalachians with common health problems, like heart disease and stress, by lowering blood pressure and boosting the immune system.
In 2019, a Roanoke, Virginia-based program will conduct forest bathing sessions in Southwest Virginia’s forests. Carilion Clinic Community and Outreach Manager Aaron Boush said the series of workshops — led jointly by Roanoke, Virginia’s urban forestry department, local non-profit Trees Roanoke and Carilion Clinic, a local medical system — may be able to address common health needs in Appalachia, like the ability to access a doctor or adhere to healthy exercise habits.
Roanoke’s forest bathing program will, in some respects, reflect the government-funded sessions held in Japan, where the practice started. Just as Japan monitors the heart rates and stress levels of forest bathers in its national forests, Carilion Clinic is planning to collect medical data about Roanoke’s participants. Before and after each event, trained staff will measure each individual’s blood pressure and survey their mood. The data won’t be used for an upcoming study, but it will help Carilion further its goal of understanding the root causes of ill health in the communities it serves, Boush said.
The activity’s social component, as well as the light physical activity it encourages, can be beneficial for anyone, especially as more and more Americans live the majority of their lives indoors.
Lisa Quatrale, a certified nature therapist based in Asheville, North Carolina, said attending a professionally run forest therapy session may help nature enthusiasts in rural Appalachia learn how to better connect with the outdoors when they engage in solo activities. It can also help them forge connections with others who are interested in improving their mental health by taking in the region’s beauty.
As an emerging field in the United States, forest therapy is largely promoted as a potential occupation by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapists (ANFT). The organization has trained guides in more than 40 countries and offers certification for those who want to lead the activity professionally.
Coral Fallon-Linzman, who serves as admissions and venue coordinator for ANFT, said that the association hopes to create a demand that would sufficiently support guides who make nature therapy into a career.
“We have found that our guide’s level of success depends on their level of engagement with their community, their business acumen, their engagement with forest therapy and its community, and what pre-existing structures may exist in the area that would support their practice,” Fallon-Linzman said.
Those who want to practice forest therapy, either individually or in a group, don’t have to go through certification with ANFT in order to conduct sessions, however. When Bill West, a Roanoke City urban forestry coordinator, became interested in forest therapy, he and Trees Roanoke president Jamie King looked for books written by scientists and medical professionals who were experts on the practice. He and King particularly relied on a book by Qing Li, a doctor and author who founded the Japanese Society of Forest Medicine, when creating Roanoke’s upcoming series of workshops. They also used the methods outlined in the book when conducting a late-October session, which served as a pilot event by which West and King could judge the demand for the 2019 program.
The pilot event in Roanoke may have generated that level of demand because of its low cost. Participants were encouraged to donate $15 to Trees Roanoke, but were not required to give that exact contribution, or any contribution at all.
Elsewhere, however, the cost of a guided forest therapy event can serve as a barrier. Quatrale said the sessions she leads at the North Carolina Arboretum cost $47; non-members are charged $57.
“I couldn’t even afford a forest therapy walk, so I would like to somehow provide it to people who don’t have money,” she said.
Despite the potential health benefits and the relatively low cost for some Appalachians, those living in the region have been slow to adopt the therapeutic practice. Multiple nature therapists have said the activity’s lack of popularity is partly due to its relative obscurity. Many rural Appalachian residents also feel that because they are surrounded by nature, they don’t need to actively connect with it, especially for a fee.
That makes it difficult for licensed therapists to make a living off of their practice. The demand is not yet high enough to supply a living wage. Successful forest therapists largely work in areas like Washington, D.C., where they can advertise their services to busy, stressed-out city workers.
Finding a venue that’s willing to host the forest therapy sessions is also a challenge, Quatrale said. Although she now conducts several guided walks a year, it took Quatrale six months to convince the arboretum to add her nature therapy sessions to their adult education offerings.
“What really made that happen was the education director hearing a piece about it on NPR,” she said.
Quatrale said she plans to reach out to school systems as well, in hopes that educators might be interested in introducing forest therapy to children who may not spend enough time outdoors. She still believes that with enough time and patience, more rural Appalachians will become interested in the practice.
“I think the more education there is, the more articles out there, the more people will realize what it can bring to their lives,” Quatrale said. | 2019-04-22T08:33:10 | https://www.100daysinappalachia.com/2018/12/07/forest-bathing-in-appalachia-as-popularity-grows-economic-viability-still-a-question/ |

Kimani Davis began his career working with young people as a co-leader of the Big Brother/Sister program at Bard College in partnership with Astor Children’s Services. Upon graduating in 1999, Kimani continued his work with Astor as a Child Care worker and Supervisor eventually moving back to New York City to work at Astor’s Day Treatment center as a Behavior Specialist in the Bronx. While working for Astor Kimani became a certified Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) trainer, which helped him to develop crucial skills in preventing, de-escalating and managing crises with students and families. His time with Astor Children’s services solidified his passion for working with students and families to build strong and supportive communities.
At Bard Kimani earned a BA in American Studies with an emphasis in African American Urban History. He was a member of the Varsity Basketball Team, recipient of the Shelley Morgan Community Leadership award and a founding member of the Bard College Rugby Team. Through Rugby Kimani further developed his love of sport as a way to stay healthy, build relationships and create community. His rugby career has offered him the opportunity to live abroad and visit parts of the globe he never thought he would! His love of rugby is still strong as he is currently a member of the Village Lions Rugby Club.
Kimani spent the last 7 years at Opportunity Charter School, where he began as a Behavior Specialist, and in 2015 took on the role of Middle School Dean of Students. Four years ago he learned of Restorative Justice. A practice focused on creating a safe, respectful space to promote dialogue, and build a strong sense of community. The Restorative Justice philosophy confirmed his belief that students have a stake in their learning and that everyone is accountable for student development. He honed his skills in the implementation of Restorative Justice through trainings facilitated by the Morningside Center. He has used these practices to resolve conflict and form community across the school. As a Middle School and Varsity Basketball Coach he has introduced Restorative Circles to build unity and teamwork, every year as a coach taking his basketball teams to the regional final four.
Kimani hopes to bring that teamwork mentality to S2 and is an advocate of fitness and wellness, believing that mind and body must work in conjunction for success both in and out of the classroom. He looks forward to working with teachers and students to inspire the S2 community to be their best selves. He wants the students of S2 to know anything is possible. | 2019-04-24T14:58:01 | https://www.schoolinthesquare.org/our-team/people/1662921/mr-kimani-davis |
Your hallway is the first thing your visitors see, and this gives them an insight to the rest of your home when they enter.Hallways tend to be only small and poky so keeping it to the bare minimum is key. Stick to just a console & hall table, which ensures plenty of room for your post, keys and some shoes stored below. Alternatively, if you have little more room why not opt for a storage bench, somewhere to perch while putting your shoes on and shoe storage, the last thing you want is to be falling over pairs of shoes when you walk through the door! Team your storage up with some wall hooks and a wall mirror and you’ve pretty much nailed it! A shabby chic wall mirror will add more light to your hallway and makes the entrance feel bigger and your home more inviting! Another fabulous tip is by hanging up an extra large mirror, light will bounce around the hall, and the long walls can be a great place to hang a montage of pictures or prints, which will add personality without taking up space. | 2019-04-25T13:58:35 | https://www.florafurniture.co.uk/hallway.html |

"Sound Cake, Sound Cabbage, Sound Banana, Sound Apple, U7"
On the occasion of the celebration of 650 years Neukölln the ohrenhoch-Kids undertake field recording excursions with the tape across the pulsating Berlin-Neukölln once a week in 2010. They stage and install these Neukölln tape rambles at ohrenhoch in three parts ('soundmap', see below).
They presented the first part at the festival '48 Stunden Neukölln' and the two following Sundays.
The presentation 'SOUND CAKE. SOUND CABBAGE. SOUND BANANA. SOUND APPLE. U7.' by the ohrenhoch-Kids is realised and conceived for the art and culture festival '48 Stunden Neukölln' 2010.
The ohrenhoch-Kids meet at ohrenhoch every Wednesday for an hour.
The ohrenhoch-Kids are a group that got together in 2008. The first presentation "The Journey through the Electric Noise Galaxies" was an audio play, "Nightdripsdragon" a Noise Box, "die ohronauten" a live performance, 2009 "Earthworm City and Mole Garden" an object and a Noise Garden Installation, "ohrenhoch is NOCTURNAL" a Noise Space Installation.
The work of the ohrenhoch-Kids is an attempt for a different dealing with electronic or electroacoustic music.
The theme and implementation are open and practice-oriented.
The Sound Cake is composed of sound recordings from the "Neukölln Arcaden" shopping centre.
The layers of the cake correspond to the floors of the "Neukölln Arcaden".
"Welcome to shopping, fun and recreational enjoyment in the middle of the county. On 5 floors a colourful world of experience with trading, catering, services, cinema, fitness, public library, culture and communication awaits you..."
The idea came from the ohrenhoch-Kids, namely to record a "babble" in a multilayer way, in the context of the project 'soundmaps' (see below).
Basement, ground floor, 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor, and the layer on top of the cake is the library.
The "Neukölln Arcaden" comprises five floors. The ohrenhoch-Kids added another cake layer - the library.
The audio recordings were made in the 'Neukölln Arcaden' outside the stores, on the several floors with the people circulating, "a babble" amongst shopping noises of many diverse people who with their mobile phones and shopping carts rush past through the halls, at this meeting point in Neukölln where diverse nations, cultures, "a rich cluster" gather. A polyphony of languages, a contemporary document of the multicultural vibrancy of Neukölln in 2010.
"soundmaps" route – on their way with 2 sound recorders with microphone, 2 headphones and 2 boompoles, a short and a long one.
Sound-space-installation Underground "U7":Besides the Sound Cake, Sound Banana and Sound Apple which are in the ohrenhoch-shopwindow-space, the ohrenhoch-Kids present the Sound-space-installation Underground "U7" in the ohrenhoch basement – from the basement stairs to the corridor.
– Narrow oblong cellar space: Inside U7 train, route Rathaus Neukölln – Neukölln / back: Neukölln – Hermannplatz.
Sound Banana = The way from 'ohrenhoch, der Geräuschladen' Weichselstrasse 49 to the 'Neukölln Arcaden' in Karl-Marx-Strasse.
soundmap is a work in progress project throughout the year 2010 which the ohrenhoch-Kids wished, discussed and decided among each other.
In the foreground of this project is the careful listening, the cognition that there are certain, distinctive, unrecallable moments, each a singularity.
Soundmap by the ohrenhoch-Kids consists in collecting sound recordings – the noises in the streets, squares, parks and in buildings – in the North of Neukölln with two mobile sound recorders with microphones, screwed onto a short and a long boompole.
These Field Recordings are an attempt, an experiment to record the environment and the everyday life in a big town, and to turn the recordings into different ways of presentation.
Another aspect of the project is about expressing the urbanity also in a funny and playful way, through objects or sound installations with the acoustic sounds.
Soundmaps actually consists of the collecting of routes that have been agreed by the ohrenhoch-Kids beforehand, rambles that we undertake with the two mobile sound recorders, two boompoles and two headphones.
Soundmaps is also a project to leave "open" the handling of the field recording rambles – how to handle the recorded sound material, how to evaluate it, change it and finally put it in a public context. Soundmaps is a flexible project through and through, a project which is not approached theoretically but which is practice-oriented explicitly. "The way is the goal."
The sounds surrounding us are extremely present, but our sensations concerning the (surrounding) sounds are virtually no issue. Unfortunately, the sounds have a subordinate significance to the present. I am referring to the fact that the everyday sounds are acting upon us incessantly, but only in the last phase, when we are a nervous wreck so to say, they become an issue.
Identities, cultures, uncountable nations in a city or a neighbourhood send off in a manifold manner a certain audible ambience and atmosphere.
Everyday sounds are important contemporary witnesses causing and revealing something – for instance the importance of a change. Sounds reflect a prevailing mood in our pluralistic society which is still completely underestimated and regrettably not a cultural historical political issue. For example the complexity of a multicultural society documents in Neukölln specifically that a climate oscillates, namely a melting pot, that a chaos in the positive sense: a "megapolyphonic" "fat cluster" is blowing through the streets, and should actually affect us positively. This impression evokes in us a new behaviour that will certainly open up a future society, forms of societies, and changes. | 2019-04-22T18:55:45 | http://www.ohrenhoch.org/en/soundcake-sound-cabbage-sound-banana-sound-apple-u7.html |

Calderone had been a photography student and worked with fresh flowers during her graduate school years. Her floral design portfolio secured her a job with Perennial Designs where she worked for seventeen years, until the store closed the doors of its downtown Needham location last spring.
At that time, Calderone was forced to ask herself what she would do next. “I loved the flowers and the clients. I realized that I didn’t want to do anything else.” So, last fall, she negotiated for a piece of the business and began to run the silk flower arrangements component out of her home studio.
The garden level of her Newton residence is now lined with workbenches, containers of materials, and tools. Just like florists who work with fresh flowers, Calderone makes routine trips to the Boston Flower Market for a selection of in-season blooms. She works with all different textures and styles, and can create silk flower masterpieces for small spaces or grand foyers.
“Faux flowers used to be a faux pas,” she chuckles, “but the quality has improved so much that it really does fool the eye.” The key, she says, is to design the arrangements as if they were fresh. “Bouquets have to make sense; seasonal flowers should work together, and the right container must be paired with the right flower.” She enjoys collaborating with her clients to realize their ideas and inspirations, and the forgiving nature of the silk allows her significantly more creative freedom than she would have with live plants.
Beyond direct client orders, Calderone’s Perennial Designs products are showcased at Volante Farms and Taylor’s Stationery in Needham. Rustic tables contrast dramatically with their displays of lush and beautiful blooms - from petal pink peonies, lavender lilacs, cream duchess roses and fuchsia clematis, to fistfuls of white camellia, cobalt blue hydrangea, and apple green viburnum.
“Perennial Designs lives on. While there is no shop to walk into, nothing has changed in terms of the quality, style, and service of the business. It is still very much focused on exceptional, face-to-face customer experiences,” Calderone said.
Perennial Designs caters to residential, corporate, and retail clients, and offers seasonal and event services. Please visit perennialdesignsma.com for more information, or contact Lisa Calderone directly at 617-559-0719. | 2019-04-22T18:27:45 | https://needham.wickedlocal.com/article/20150813/NEWS/150818550 |

Check out Jake Benjamin on Spotify!

Find out where Jake is playing next!
In life, sometimes where you begin is where you belong. A few years ago, singer-songwriter Jake Benjamin made a left turn from his core self of being a musician that sent him on a winding, self-reflective odyssey through states and states of mind. Today, he announces his return to music with his aptly-titled debut EP, Finally Back Home, an exquisite collection of jazz-tinged pop.
Jake is one of those rare gifted artists that early on could sing better than they could speak. Yet, when it came time to go to college, Jake decided to pursue a career as a music business professional, and chose not to fine tune his prodigious talents. However, while in college, Jake became reacquainted with songwriting and discovered the beauty of jazz. “I fell in love with the fact that music could be an exchange of energies between two people,” Jake shares.
The New York-based artist earned his bachelor’s degree from University of Miami’s Frost School of Music’s Music Business and Studio Music & Jazz programs, and earned his master’s degree from Indiana University’s prestigious Jacobs School of Music where he studied voice. Because of this formal training, core to Jake’s aesthetic is his sophisticated harmonic compositional vocabulary. During his studies, Jake has been fortunate to share the stage with renowned artists like Tierney Sutton, Darmon Meader, James Newton Howard, Kate McGarry, Cyrille Aimée, and many more.
Jake tempers this studied musicality with adventurous artistic explorations via a loop station. His innovative approach with this technology treats the loop station as a compositional tool through which he explores the possibilities of vocal layering, beatboxing, and body percussion. “I write original music for the millennial wallflower, and I reimagine jazz repertoire to make tunes my own. The stories in my songs are about me, or somebody I know. I don’t like to make up stories of things I didn’t go through,” Jake says.
These days, Jake is in New York music making within a community of musicians and friends. His next release, however, will showcase his solo artistry with a collection of songs themed around Vincent van Gogh. These recordings will highlight concepts of the psyche, the human condition, and they will showcase Jake’s innovative use of his looper station. | 2019-04-24T21:49:58 | https://www.jakebenjaminmusic.com/ |
Bowie Community Theatre presents Dracula, the Broadway play written in 1924 by Hamilton Deane and later revised by John L. Balderston, based on the novel of the same name by Bram Stoker. Staging one of the most beloved horror stories ever written is an intimidating feat, but Director Michael Forgetta pulls it off beautifully, and just in time for Halloween!

Set Designer Daniel Lavanga frames the stage in ribbony velvet drapes, with the face of a large golden clock dominating most of the space. A second hand spins around the roman numerals of the clock, with the effect being somewhat hypnotic (a poignant nod to Dracula’s ability to control his victims minds). Victorian furniture, as well as odds and ends such as candlesticks and lamps, completes the dated setting of Dr. Seward’s Sanatorium. Lavanga also provides the special effects, my favorite of which has to be the wind that disturbs the delicate drapes whenever Dracula is nearby.
Lighting Designer Garrett Hyde does a fantastic job and is responsible in a huge part for the eeriness of the overall production. You only see what he wants you to see, shown in scenes with Dracula when, like lightening flashes, only snippets are shown, pieced together by anxiety-ridden dark spots. Sound Designer Dan Caughran utilizes sounds such as storms, shattering glass, howling wolves, and whistling winds to pull the scenes together successfully, and costumes by Linda Swann help to move along the plot, an example being a distressed character whose clothes become more and more tattered with every appearance.
Pat Reynolds (Dracula) and Amanda Maggofin (Lucy). Photo by John Nunemaker.
This uneasy situation becomes more complicated with energetic outbursts from one of Dr. Seward’s patients, R.M. Renfield, who hides a dark secret of his own. Gerard Williams is fantastic as the manic Renfield, switching from intelligently phrased rants to animalistic tantrums within seconds, and accompanied by a shrill, lingering laugh. Comedic release is provided by Renfield’s frustrated attendant Butterworth (Danny Brooks) and Lucy’s maid, Miss Wells (Mary Macleod). When Dracula (a haunting, charismatic Pat Reynolds) learns of Van Helsing’s suspicion, it becomes an all-out war between good and evil, with both sides possessing powerful weapons…but who will win?
Overall, the acting can use some fine-tuning. During my showing, there were unfortunate pauses to recall lines, as well as actors stumbling over their words and some lukewarm performances, (and I’m sure that will improve as the run continues) but that didn’t overshadow the fact that Dracula is one of the most iconic stories ever told for good reason – the plot is enthralling — and the stage elements of this production are extraordinary.
Get into the spirit of Halloween this season and pay a visit to Dracula!
Running time is approximately 120 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission.
Dracula runs through October 13, 2012 at Bowie Community Theatre at The Bowie Playhouse – 16500 White Marsh Park Drive, in Bowie, MD.

With CSS3, an individual can easily create different types of drop-down menus. This drop-down menu indicates that one can create the most elegant pull-down menu with CSS3. It comes with sliding submenus that give it a very elegant look. Here, we present a series of totally free drop-down menus that were developed using HTML5 and CSS3. Creating a drop-down menu for these websites is no longer a new trend, since it has been accepted very well all over the world.
You can create a navigation bar in a template or library to produce simpler future modifications. At its core, a navigation bar is an easy collection of links. In our examples we will build the navigation bar from a list of conventional HTML. With some basic HTML and CSS, you can make a very simple navigation bar with many visual effects. Receive a quick start in the next top navigation bar of the website.
The navigation menus have to be unique in design, but at the same time they must be easy and simple so that the visitors do not feel any type of problem when using them. In this case, the CSS3 navigation menus can be very useful for you. Most of these menus and CSS3 navigation scripts are designed and designed by expert web designers so you do not have to worry about the functionality of these menus. Therefore, these menus are useful to reduce the bounce rate of a website. In order to solve this problem, it is possible to try the free and premium CSS3 menus available on the Internet.
All you need is exemplary free software! As most modern browsers are compatible with HTML5, it is ideal to take full advantage of these new descriptive tags to provide their contextual meaning of marking. GUI interface The visual design user interface allows you to create your menus without the need for complex manual coding. Having an easy-to-use navigation is essential for any Internet website. Such positioning seems very graphic, practical and intuitive. | 2019-04-22T20:17:27 | http://trinotherapeutics.com/navigation-bar-templates/ |

Skiing, ice skating and hockey may be top of mind when you think of winter sports, but there are plenty of ways to get active without the equipment or expense. While indoor options, such as a living room dance party, a bowling outing or a long “hike” through a local museum, are great ways to keep moving when the temperature drops, spending time outside has been shown to help fight seasonal affective disorder – all the better when it’s a workout too.
Snow can seem like a hindrance for outdoor activity, but when you and your family bundle up properly, it provides an opportunity for a variety of new options for fun and fitness.
Roll up your sleeves — metaphorically, of course — and get rolling on a snowman. Encourage your children to find materials from the far reaches of the yard to bring their creation to life, or turn the activity into a race to get their heart rates up. With your snowmen in place, set your family to the task of building them a home. Whether life-size or made miniature from buckets and bowls, building a snow fort is a great way to keep the exercise going, and it offers a slightly more complex construction task for older children. If you’re building a fort in which you can fit inside, be sure to go the open-roof route. Additional snowfall has been known to cause roofs and tunnels to collapse, creating unnecessary danger for your child.
Be sure to enforce mandatory breaks on your family “construction site” — it’s important to warm up to prevent hypothermia, and hot chocolate makes for great fuel!
What may be your least favorite part of sledding — dragging your sled, saucer or tube back up the hill — is actually one of the best winter workouts: an aerobic exercise that’s great for your leg muscles, too. And the ride down also works multiple muscles as you steer and hold on. Plus, unlike skiing or ice skating, sledding and tubing require less coordination, balance and experience, making them ideal for all ages and levels of athleticism.
Snow angels are more or less horizontal jumping jacks, and if you put in the effort, they can get your heart going fast. Bundle your family up in their best, most waterproof snowsuits and get to making as many snow angels as your hearts desire. Then, you can decorate like you would a snowman with accessories scavenged from around the yard.
From “snow” versions of your favorite sports, such as soccer, baseball, football and volleyball, to original options, there are any number of games to play in the snow. You can create a maze by stamping or shoveling out paths for your kids to follow, or set out on a scavenger hunt. You could try a snowball throwing contest for distance or as a variation of bocce ball, or make a golf course by packing down sections of snow and marking the holes with sticks. Tic tac toe with sticks and pinecones is easy to set up with minimum clean-up. With a little imagination, the options are endless.
Snowball fights are, of course, a seasonal staple, but be careful of ice, rocks or other debris in snowballs. Parents: Don’t be afraid of getting in on the action — it can even make it easier to supervise!
This one takes you a little further than your backyard, but it’s worth the extra work. If your child can walk, then snowshoeing is absolutely an option for fit family fun. Plus, kids can get a particular thrill from strapping on the big wide shoes. Find a park or nature trail that is open in the winter and go for a hike unique to the season. Snowshoeing is a great cardiovascular workout that strengthens your legs and activates your entire body.
Family fun in the wintertime doesn’t have to be confined to indoor activities. And fitness doesn’t have to rely exclusively on winter sports or chores (though shoveling is a good way to sneak in a workout). With a little imagination and a fresh snowfall, your family has endless options for fun and fitness. | 2019-04-24T18:11:53 | https://www.nm.org/healthbeat/healthy-tips/fitness/family-fun-fitness-snow |
Keychain in the shape of the well known pirate symbol, the skull with crossed bones. Each pirate captain designed his own flag. The flags were meant to scare the enemy and were hoisted at the last moment. PIrates usually sailed in small, fast boats like sloops and brigs, those did not have much firing power but were faster than most cargo ships. | 2019-04-18T20:25:38 | https://www.celticwebmerchant.com/en/pirate-keychain.html |
Here are random bits of information about how we are going about developing our solution.
We are using a user-centered design process to tackle this problem. This methodology calls for an extensive understanding of the people involved in this project (i.e. stakeholders: the transit authorities, the operators of the vehicles, the commuters and the non commuters) and the activites they perform. Our goal is to inform the design of our solution with the real needs of the stakeholders.
To better facilitate communication between team members, we have setup a Wiki to act as an evolving digital collection of our ideas and resources that are pertinent to the solving the problem. On the Wiki you will find our meeting notes, websites with information related to the problem and other tidbits that should give you an idea the team's current state of mind.
Apart from the Wiki, we have setup an email address for the group which can be used contact all the members of the group. In addition, we have setup and shared a calendar (via Google Calendar) to keep us abreast with events and deadlines related to the project.
The website serves as a more refined presentation, as compared to the Wiki, of our current status in solving the problem. As our solution generally revolves around providing an interactive option for navigating a public transit system, we decided to provide a more interactive way of viewing the timeline of our progress. Give it a shot. | 2019-04-25T18:04:51 | http://si682.logicalrealism.org/process.html?TB_iframe=true&height=400&width=600 |

Abstract. Probabilistic model checking is a technique for formally verifying quantitative properties of systems that exhibit stochastic behaviour. In this chapter, we show how this approach can be applied to the study of biological systems such as biochemical reaction networks and signalling pathways. We present an introduction to the state-of-the-art probabilistic model checking tool PRISM using a case study based on the Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) signalling pathway. | 2019-04-21T02:36:13 | http://www.prismmodelchecker.org/bibitem.php?key=KNP10a |

Have you ever seen someone on stage and thought ‘I wish I could do that?’ Have you ever been in a social situation and been interested in understanding ‘what just happened there?!’ At Open Heart Theatre, we have a combined twenty years of experience with both of these things!
We are a company of improvisers which for us means we make up things that make us laugh without a script in front of an audience! This can sound scary, but it can come amazingly naturally. Part of being able to improvise well is understanding how you react under pressure and what you can do to make those reactions the ones you want and need.
This workshop will be focused on fun games which let us see what happens when we feel ‘on the spot’ and how we can react in ways that are more productive, and feel relaxed while doing it. There’ll be a lot of laughs and you might even learn something about yourself.
This workshop runs 5pm – 6:30pm on the 19th May at Space Six as part of their “Twilight Shows” events, and is aimed at people aged 12-17.
Participation is totally free but please email us at [email protected] to confirm a place.
Space Six is found at Floor Six, 39 Pilgrim St, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 6QE. | 2019-04-21T12:15:15 | http://openhearttheatre.com/impro-games-young-people/ |
How Much Cargo Space Are We Talking?
For most buyers, cargo capacity numbers don't mean much except in comparison. So, let's compare. The 2018 Kia Sportage offers about 31 cubic feet of storage, while the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport offers 35 cubic feet. That's about 20 percent more cargo capacity in the Hyundai. That's one more moving box, a couple of bags of groceries, and an absolute lifesaver when you're really trying to cram.
There's no denying that, for many, the crossover SUV is a family car, the modern answer to minivan hatred. But kids or no, safety is an important feature for keeping you and the ones you love safe. While the Kia Sportage received high marks for safety, the Santa Fe Sport outranked it-five stars from NHTSA and Top Safety Pick + from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Meanwhile, the Sportage received only four out of five stars for its frontal crash and rollover tests. You don't know how valuable safety is until you really need it.
Gas Sippers or Gas Guzzlers?
Stopping for gas. Paying for it. These tasks rarely hit the top of a favorites list, turning small differences in fuel economy into powerful changes to daily life. Now, neither one of these SUVs is going to win fuel economy prizes, especially not with the rise of hybrid and electric cars. But one definitely beats the other.
Not only does the Santa Fe Sport have a larger gas tank but it also has better fuel economy. No, it's not a huge difference. But in a close match like the one between these two relaxed-sporty, attractive crossover SUVs, every advantage counts. And if buying the Santa Fe Sport that means you stop for gas and pay for it less often, we're all in. It's a little easier on the wallet and a little easier on the planet. | 2019-04-21T10:22:50 | https://www.swopehyundai.com/reviews/2018-hyundai-santa-fe-sport-vs-kia-sportage-sda.htm |
Mrs B, an 86-year-old Oldham resident suffers quite badly with arthritis, poor eyesight and diabetes. She lives with her son and is in receipt of State Pension and Pension Credit.
It was during a routine visit to her home through the Warm Homes Oldham Scheme (a scheme funded by Oldham Council in partnership with Auriga and three other delivery partners), that an advisor identified that she needed assistance with an Attendance Allowance application. Mrs B’s case was referred to Auriga’s Welfare team who specialise in helping people with welfare advice, benefit checks, income maximisation along with a number of additional support service.
Having reviewed her case, an Auriga Welfare Advisor called Mrs B to discuss the difficulties she faced around the home and was able to provide help to complete an Attendance Allowance application form.
After two months of waiting for a decision, it was confirmed that the Attendance Allowance claim had been declined. Auriga’s Welfare Advisor was able to complete a Mandatory Reconsideration to appeal the decision.
Since appealing the original decision, Mrs B was awarded £55.10 Attendance Allowance each week.
As her son was living with her there was no further entitlements to any premiums on her Pension Credit, leaving her with an annual increase of £4,477.20 Attendance Allowance and Pension Credit. | 2019-04-20T21:07:38 | https://www.aurigaservices.co.uk/case-studies/oldham-residents-success-attendance-allowance-appeal/ |
One of my most frequently asked questions. So here you go.
Lovesick by OFELIA. This dark purple-reddish color I use when I'm too lazy to do eye make up and act like I'm putting an accent on my lips. Sometimes I leave the house with just this lip color, concealer and eyebrows and people think I did make up. Maybe because that's what a lot of Vietnamese girls do for their make up routine.
I use this orange-ish colour whenver I want to look like I have something on my lips, but don't want to look either too girly or too much of a statement. The colour is called Crush On You by OFELIA.
This is the most asked for lipstick ! Like whenever I use it, somebody will ask for sure. I think it's because it makes me look rosy. And fresh I guess. When people ask me i just say YSL Vynil Cream - 404. But the full (hella long) name is actually YSL Vernis A Levres Vynil Cream - 404 62N502. I have no idea which part is the colour code haha. I use this lip cream, which is kinda drying, whenever I want to look younger my age in combination with a pink-ish blush. | 2019-04-26T00:14:18 | http://www.juliadoan.com/newblog/2018/7/30/my-3-most-used-lipsticks |
A mum from St Blazey has spoken of her heartbreaking journey to motherhood.
After a long struggle to become a parent and having faced three miscarriages, Josie Kent and her partner Gareth Rabey were ecstatic to find out they were having identical twins earlier this year.
In order to rule out twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a rare, serious condition that can occur in pregnancies when identical twins share a placenta, Josie had regular check-ups and scans every two weeks.
Having entered 24 weeks of pregnancy, which Josie said was usually the "safe zone" for TTTS - the mother-to-be thought she was finally out of danger.
But three weeks later, the 28-year-old had her worst nightmare confrimed.
Josie was faced with a heartbreaking decision that could have meant life or death for her unborn twins.
Josie said: "The worst news a parent could hear at their 28 week scan.
"Your twins have TTTS - it's stage 3 (out of 5) you have a stuck twin, one twin has all of the fluid and the other is now stuck unable to move, unable to grow and in a lot of trouble, if we leave them - they will die."
She was given two options - the first was to travel to Bristol Hospital and have laser treatment on her placenta in order to reduce the amount of fluid going to one twin.
Josie added: "We were told because of their gestation and how far along they were the risks for this procedure were high - we had a 40% chance of loosing one baby and a 10% chance of loosing both.
"I cried. This couldn’t be real. I need to hear the other option because there’s no way I’ve got this far to loose my babies.
"[The other option was] we deliver them. In two days. Survival rates would be much higher about 70/80% of course because of their twin to twin transfusion syndrome their could be further complications - nothing is certain but that’s our best option."
After a nightmare two days - Josie was preparing to give birth three months early.
Josie said there were 30 people waiting and ready to react during her cesarean section - life-saving workers from resuscitation, neonatal, nurses and consultants.
"They screamed when they came out. Then I didn’t see them for seven hours.
"It had never even entered my head that that could have happened.
"A lot of people take it for granted that they will have a nice pregnancy and walk out of hospital with their new baby."
Evie May Rabey was born weighing 2lbs at the exactly same time as her sister, Lily Beth Rabey, weighing 1lb 10oz, on June 22.
Josie added: "Both got taken to NICU straight away on resuscitation tables, with a team of doctors and nurses each.
"I got to kiss Lily's head and grab a brief look at her, I touched Evie's hand and watched her as they wheeled her out on the resuscitation table."
She said that they were so small that they "didn't look like babies" and that her engagement ring was the width of their feet.
Josie didn't get to hold Evie for another three days after she was born and waited over a week to finally hold Lily for five minutes.
The twins stayed in incubators for another three months after their birth until they were large enough to go home.
During the early stages Josie was staying in Derriford Hospital with her children but after a move to Royal Cornwall Hospital Treliske, she was no longer able to stay overnight.
She added: "I had a cesarean so I wasn't able to drive for six weeks. I had to rely on people to collect me and take me to Treliske.
"No one would ever pre-empt being in that situation.
"Every night coming home after that long being pregnant - I didn’t feel like I had them.
"Luckily they were around people who don't just look after babies, they keep them alive day-to-day. The babies are wired up and the alarms go off because they have stopped breathing and they all rush to their side.
"The tiniest little thing could make a massive difference and I think they are really underestimated. I can't thank the neonatal unit enough for what they've done."
Both twins are now living at home and Lily, who was born the smaller of the two, still needs oxygen at night.
Josie started an Instagram account while the twins were in hospital, which she said acted as a therapy and also helped her to keep friends and family updated on the progress.
"Leaving hospital after 13 long weeks. When the girls were born the World Cup had just started, the sun was at its peak and summer had just started.
"Now the autumn is here and it won’t be long until Christmas. The past 13 weeks have been the hardest of our lives, emotionally and physically draining - living between a home and the hospital.
"Now we can finally enjoy being at home together as a whole family." | 2019-04-26T12:30:16 | https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/cornwall-mum-separated-baby-twins-2219081 |

CONCORD, N.C. – Modern Family Dental Care will hold the grand opening of its third office in the north Charlotte area on July 25, 2016, at 9 a.m. The new office will be located on the Charlotte—Huntersville line at 8150 Mt Holly-Huntersville Road, Charlotte, next to Beatty’s Ford Road and just minutes from Northlake Mall.
Dr. Haynes, who hosts a weekly YouTube series, the Modern Family Dental Minute (#DentalMinute), has been practicing dentistry for seven years and earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Dental Medicine.
This newest office of Modern Family Dental Care will have amenities for the entire family and the newest technology. The reception area features an internet café, complete with computers, leather couches, Wi-Fi, a Keurig ® coffee maker and a children’s area that includes activities and video games. In addition, the office will offer high-tech features like digital X-rays and have access to Cone Beam CT Scans and soft tissue lasers.
The office exceeds OSHA and the American Dental Association’s standard practices, and hosts a state-of-the-art sterilization room, where every instrument is disinfected.
In an effort to make the dental experience as stress-free as possible, the office was designed to feel more like a home than a dentist office. This is achieved through features like flat-screen televisions, hard wood floors and pleasant scents.
“I’m truly blessed to have moved to this region in 2009. I look forward to meeting and servicing all of my new patients so they can learn why ’Healthy Smiles. Healthy Family. Happy Life.’ is not just the slogan of my office, it’s the way I approach my life,” said Dr. Haynes.
Modern Family Dental Care currently has two offices in the northern Charlotte area: the first office opened in 2011 in Concord, across the street from Concord Mills Mall; the second office opened in the Davis Lakes neighborhood of north Charlotte in 2015.

Most patients are told that they were trying to kill themselves (which most patient’s state that they were not suicidal at that time) and a psychiatric consult is ordered. Many say that they wait for hours in a room by themselves until the consult takes place. The patient finds this scenario ironic, because if they were trying to kill themselves then why are they left alone for so long?
It is understandable that most people usually recoil from pain, and to come across someone who intentionally harms themselves can be disturbing. When the medical staff sends negative verbal and non-verbal messages to the patient it only compounds the patient’s shame, and does not provide a positive example on how to appropriately manage discomfort.
People who injure do so as a way to manage affect states. Their self-esteem is poor and they have little impulse control. Due to their poor self-esteem, some repeatedly and intentionally subject themselves to emergency room abuse, but most go there reluctantly to receive medical treatment for their wounds. Many people who self-injure have either learned to treat themselves or just neglect their injuries in order to avoid the emergency room ridicule.
If you know or suspect that the wounds were self-inflicted, ask the patient if they are receiving psychological help. If they say “yes”, encourage them to contact their therapist. If they do not have psychological support, ask them if it would be okay to refer them to someone who can assist them in locating resources for treatment.
Ask (don’t tell them) if the self-injurious act was a suicidal gesture. If they deny any suicidal intent, tell the patient that you want to believe them, but you need to know more about the drive behind the behavior. Ask the patient if they know the difference between a suicide attempt versus a self-injury act.
Most self-injurers are quite clear in this matter and able to verbalize the difference. They are somewhat insulted when they are not believed. If you are not convinced with the patient’s self assessment, let them know that you are not comfortable with discharging them until someone can do a more comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. | 2019-04-24T02:57:10 | https://selfinjury.com/resources/interventions/erstaff/ |
About a year ago, I interviewed artist Sean Michael Gallagher who had recently arrived in the Islands after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design. He is currently teaching at the Academy Art Center at Linekona (also known as my “second home”).
Sean is one of those artists – like Allyn Bromley – who never lets his media limit him. He creates art using materials in totally unexpected ways. His work is truly amazing.
That's Sean Michael Gallagher and one of his works.

Bazyler, CD, Sato, K, Wassinger, CA, Lamont, HS, and Stone, MH. The efficacy of incorporating partial squats in maximal strength training. J Strength Cond Res 28(11): 3024–3032, 2014—The purpose of our study was to examine the effects of 2 different training methods on dynamic and isometric measures of maximal strength. Seventeen recreationally trained men (1 repetition maximum [1RM] squat: 146.9 ± 22.4 kg) were assigned to 2 groups: full range of motion (ROM) squat (F) and full ROM with partial ROM squat (FP) for the 7-week training intervention. Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed that there was a statistically significant group-by-time interaction for impulse scaled at 50, 90, and 250 milliseconds at 90° of knee flexion and rate of force development at 200 milliseconds with 120° of knee flexion (p ≤ 0.05). There was also a statistically significant time effect (p ≤ 0.05) for the 1RM squat, 1RM partial squat, isometric squat peak force allometrically scaled (IPFa) 90°, IPFa 120°, and impulse allometrically scaled at 50, 90, 200, and 250 milliseconds at 90° and 120° of knee flexion. Additionally, the FP group achieved statistically larger relative training intensities (%1RM) during the final 3 weeks of training (p ≤ 0.05). There was a trend for FP to improve over F in 1RM squat (+3.1%, d = 0.53 vs. 0.32), 1RM partial squat (+4.7%, d = 0.95 vs. 0.69), IPFa 120° (+5.7%, d = 0.52 vs. 0.12), and impulse scaled at 50, 90, 200, and 250 milliseconds at 90° (+6.3 to 13.2%, d = 0.50–1.01 vs. 0.30–0.57) and 120° (+3.4 to 16.8%, d = 0.45–1.11 vs. 0.08–0.37). These larger effect sizes in the FP group can likely be explained their ability to train at larger relative training intensities during the final 3 weeks of training resulting in superior training adaptations. Our findings suggest that partial ROM squats in conjunction with full ROM squats may be an effective training method for improving maximal strength and early force-time curve characteristics in men with previous strength training experience. Practically, partial squats may be beneficial for strength and power athletes during a strength-speed mesocycle while peaking for competition.

Partial lifts are often incorporated into strength and conditioning training programs (8,9,16,32). Proposed benefits include improved strength at the terminal range of motion (ROM) and weak portions of a movement (9,25,37), substitute for full ROM exercise during rehabilitation (2,30), injury prevention (2), enhanced metabolic adaptations (34), increased training volume (8), training variation (27), and enhanced sport performance (9,37). Only a few studies directly examine their efficacy in improving maximal strength and the findings are conflicting (6,11,12,17,24,25,30,35).
Previous research has documented the specificity of ROM in strength training that shows adaptations incurred are specific to the ROM trained (6,7,9,11,17). In one of the earliest studies, Graves et al. (11) found that isometric strength gains for the full ROM bilateral knee extension group were similar throughout the entire ROM at all knee angles tested, whereas strength gains for partial ROM groups were greater in the trained than in the untrained joint angles tested. Clark et al. (9) reported similar findings, where the group training at varying ROM on the bench press improved over the full ROM group in isokinetic bench press in the terminal portion of the movement, ½ ROM bench press throw peak force, and full ROM bench press throw displacement. Bloomquest et al. (6) found statistical improvements in front thigh muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) at the most proximal sites for the partial ROM squat group, whereas the full ROM squat group improved at all sites. These results strongly support specificity of ROM in training adaptations.
Studies directly examining the efficacy of partial ROM squat training on maximal strength and jump performance (1 repetition maximum [1RM] squat, counter movement jump [CMJ] height, squat jump height) have elucidated similar findings. Hartmann et al. (17) found training full ROM back squat attained statistically larger elevations in CMJ height and 1RM squat over the quarter squat group, whereas the quarter squat group improved 1RM quarter squat over full the ROM group. These results were similar to Bloomquest et al. (6) who found training full ROM squat statistically improved 1RM squat more than the partial ROM group, whereas the partial ROM group statistically improved 1RM partial squat more than the full ROM group.
A limitation of previous studies is that bar displacement was not included in work estimates (6,17,30,35). Equalizing work using relative % 1RM or volume load (VL) does not take into consideration the large differences in bar displacement between a full and partial ROM lift. Not taking displacement into consideration for work approximations poses a threat to internal validity considering the study questions are related to ROM specific training adaptations and their effect on performance at corresponding joint angles (9).
Examining the findings from the aforementioned studies, there is evidence that partial squats augment full ROM 1RM strength in untrained subjects. However, in individuals with previous strength training experience removing full ROM squats may result in a plateau and possible decrease in full ROM 1RM strength (16,28). In previous studies, the groups training partial ROM did not perform full ROM training (6,17,30,35). To fulfill specificity requirements the partial ROM group should continue with full ROM training if the training goal is to improve 1RM in a full ROM. Additionally, some studies used untrained subjects while evidence indicates that partial lifts, if effective, would benefit lifters with previous training experience (9,25,27). Indeed, observations by the authors indicate that many strength-power athletes, including weightlifters and powerlifters, integrate partial movements into their training.
Wilson et al. (36) proposed that partial lifts involving supramaximal loads may result in reduced inhibition lending to an increase in maximal force production. The increase in maximal force production with training may also result in increases in rate of force development (RFD) (1,14); however, these are likely through different processes (20). Training with partial lifts may improve peak force, RFD and impulse in that ROM to a greater extent than full ROM training alone (37). The terminal range of motion is loaded more optimally with a partial ROM lift than a full ROM lift because the full ROM lift is limited by the sticking point. Considering that many sports involve countermovements from knee and hip angles similar to those in a partial squat, has lead previous researchers to suggest that partial squats may improve athletic performance by increasing strength and explosiveness in the corresponding joint angles (9,37). However, the effects of training with partial squats on isometric squat kinetic variables at these important joint angles have yet to be examined.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 2 different training modalities, full ROM training (F) and full ROM plus partial ROM training (FP), using recreationally trained males during a 7-week training intervention. We hypothesized that both groups would improve from pre- to postintervention on all dynamic and isometric variables measured; FP would improve to a greater extent than F at measurements associated with maximum effort at the terminal ROM (1RM partial squat, 120° isometric squat peak force, RFD, and impulse scaled).
Subjects were ranked according to absolute and relative 1RM squat from preintervention testing and randomly assigned to a group. One group performed F, whereas the other performed FP during the 7-week intervention. Training was conducted 2 days per week with a minimum of 48 hours rest between training sessions. Dynamic and isometric strength were measured pre- and postintervention through 1RM and isometric squat, respectively. Table 1 describes the 12-week training program and testing sessions.
Subjects recruited were 18 recreationally trained college aged males with at least 1 year of resistance training experience on the squat (≥1.3 body mass). Preintervention 1RM squat was similar to previous studies: 146.9 ± 22.4 kg (16,19,38). Nine subjects in the F group (age: 20.8 ± 2.0 years, height: 176.4 ± 6.3 cm, body mass: 84.9 ± 10.9 kg, 1RM squat/body mass: 1.75 ± 0.11) and 8 subjects in the FP group (age: 20.9 ± 1.9 years, height: 179.0 ± 6.8 cm, body mass: 84.6 ± 8.4 kg, 1RM squat/body mass: 1.71 ± 0.27) completed the study. One subject from the FP group was an outlier for dynamic testing variables (>2 SD from the mean) and was excluded from the study. Throughout the study, subjects were instructed to cease any supplementation use, refrain from lower-body resistance training outside of the study, and they were instructed not to participate in physical activity 24 hours before testing or training sessions. Subjects also completed a dietary log 24 hours before both preintervention testing sessions and were instructed to replicate the log for postintervention testing. Before participating, all subjects completed a health history questionnaire and signed an informed consent form in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the university's Institutional Review Board.
Squat bar displacement was measured manually using a measuring tape. Warm-up sets and working sets were included in the VLd calculation. Test-retest reliability was intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) = 0.97. Subjects were required to complete >80% of the programmed VLd to be included in the data analysis. Relative training intensity (TI) for each session was calculated by dividing the average load used by the subject's 1RM for the corresponding lift (%1RM).
Groups followed a block-periodized model to control for volume and intensity manipulation (28,33). Subjects trained with heavy and light days to manage fatigue and avoid training to failure. Squat load differed by 10–15% between heavy and light days with light days performed on the second day of the microcycle. Load for squat and partial squat was calculated using percentage of preintervention 1RM. Each training session began with a dynamic warm-up followed by warm-up sets on squat. The F group performed full squats only, whereas the FP group performed full squats followed by partial squats (from 100° knee angle to lockout position). All training sessions were supervised to ensure correct technique and safety.
Anthropometrics, 1RM squat, and 1RM partial squat were measured at the beginning of weeks 4 and 12 dynamic testing sessions. Isometric squat peak force, RFD from 0 to 50, 0 to 90, 0 to 200, and 0 to 250 milliseconds and impulse scaled from 0 to 50, 0 to 90, 0 to 200, and 0 to 250 milliseconds were assessed during the isometric testing session, which occurred 72–96 hours after dynamic testing. Subjects reported to the laboratory on day 1 of weeks 4 and 12 at predesignated times. Body composition was measured with Lange calipers (Cambridge Scientific Industries, Cambridge, MD) using the sum of 7 skinfolds (3).
Dynamic warm-up followed anthropometric measurements. The 1RM squat was tested first followed by 1RM partial squat at 100° knee angle (measured in the sagittal plane using the greater trochanter, the lateral condyle of the femur, the head of the fibula, and the lateral malleolus as bony landmarks). The 1RM protocols involved a progressive increase in load and decrease in reps per set (26). Attempts were selected with the goal of reaching their maximum in 3 attempts after warm-up. Four minutes of rest was given between each attempt. Back squat depth was determined as the top of the leg at the hip joint being below the knee (38). Subjects rested at least 5 minutes between 1RM squat and partial squat testing. For partial squats, the bar was set on safety pins at a height corresponding to 100° of knee flexion, as determined during the familiarization sessions. Subjects performed the concentric portion of the squat to a full lockout position then lowered the bar back down to the safety pins. The same assistant recorded knee angle and bar height for all testing and training sessions.
Kinetic variables were measured on 0.45 × 0.91 m dual force platforms affixed side by side (Rice Lake, WI, USA) sampling at 1,000 Hz. Isometric squat testing at 90° and 120° was performed to provide an indication of changes in force-time characteristics at 2 important segments of the squat; approximately 90° is considered the sticking point of the squat and approximately 120° is where peak isometric torque of the knee extensors is produced (5,31). Subjects performed a dynamic warm-up followed by 2 warm-up attempts at 50 and 75% maximal effort at 90°. After the 2-minute rest period, 2 maximal efforts were performed with 3 minutes rest in between. The bar was placed across the back in the same position used in training. The same assistant recorded knee angle and bar height for all testing sessions. The tester instructed subjects to push as fast and as hard as possible (20). The tester shouted “push” and participants pushed maximally into the ground until peak force was reached when the tester shouted “stop” to end the test. After completing testing at 90°, subjects were given 5 minutes rest, and the same protocol with warm-up attempts was repeated at 120°. Subjects were tested at the same time of the day for both test days (15). The force-time curve data were smoothed using an 11-point moving average (all data points equally weighted) and analyzed with Labview software (ver. 2010, National Instruments, Austin, TX, USA). The average of 2 attempts on the isometric squat at 90 and 120° were used for analysis.
A Shapiro-Wilks normality test was used to determine whether the data were normally distributed. Levene's test was used to determine homogeneity of variance. Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated to determine test-retest reliability. Coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated to assess relative measurement error. Preintervention values of both groups were tested for significant differences using a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). A 2 × 2 repeated measures ANOVA was used to assess main effects and interactions for all dependent variables. If a statistical time effect was found, a paired sample t-test was used to determine changes within groups. Effect sizes were calculated as Cohen's d. A default 90% confidence interval was chosen to make probabilistic magnitude-based inferences about the values of the outcome variables (4). An effect was unclear if chances of the true value being substantially positive and negative were both >5%. The probabilities that the true difference in performance were positive, trivial, or negative are expressed as percentages derived using a published spreadsheet (21). The qualitative terms for corresponding percentages are most unlikely, <0.5%; very unlikely, 0.5–5%; unlikely, 5–25%; possibly, 25–75%; likely, 75–95%; very likely, 95–99.5%; and most likely, >99.5%. Pearson's product-moment correlation was used to assess relationships between dependent variables. For all tests, the alpha level was set at p ≤ 0.05. Because of the paucity of research on partial ROM training, this study was exploratory and Bonferonni adjustment was not used to decrease the possibility of committing a type II error (23). SPSS software (version 20) was used to perform all statistical analyses (IMB Co., New York, NY, USA).
No group-by-time interaction was found for 1RM squat. A statistical time effect (p < 0.001) was found for 1RM squat. One repetition maximum squat in F increased by 5.1 ± 4.5%, d = 0.32, and in FP by 8.2 ± 2.1%, d = 0.53 (Figure 1). For both groups, the change in 1RM squat was most likely positive (F: 99.5% positive, 0.4% trivial, 0.1% negative; FP: 100% positive, 0% trivial, 0% negative).
No group-by-time interaction was found for 1RM partial squat. A statistically significant time effect (p < 0.001) was found for 1RM partial squat. One repetition maximum partial squat in F increased by 10.2 ± 11.7%, d = 0.69, and in FP by 14.9 ± 11.8%, d = 0.95. The change in 1RM partial squat was very likely positive in the F group (F: 97.3% positive, 0.8% trivial, 1.9% negative) and most likely positive in the FP group (FP: 99.7% positive, 0.1% trivial, 0.2% negative).
No group-by-time interaction was found for isometric squat peak force allometrically scaled (IPFa) at 90 or 120° of knee flexion. A statistically significant time effect was found for IPFa 90° and IPFa 120° (p ≤ 0.05). Paired t-test results indicated that IPFa at 90° increased by 5.3 ± 4.5%, d = 0.81 in the F group (p = 0.008) and IPFa at 120° increased by 8.9 ± 8.6%, d = 0.52 in the FP group (p = 0.02) (Figure 2). Changes occurring at 90° for the FP group and 120° for the F group were not statistically significant. The change in IPFa 90° was very likely positive in the F group (F: 99.4% positive, 0.4% trivial, 0.2% negative) and unclear in the FP group (FP: 68.6% positive, 14.2% trivial, 17.1% negative). The change in IPFa 120° was unclear in the F group (F: 78.9% positive, 9.4% trivial, 11.7% negative) and very likely positive in the FP group (FP: 98.4% positive, 0.6% trivial, 1.0% negative). Test-retest reliability using ICC for IPFa 90° and 120° was 0.97 and 0.98, respectively. It is important to note that homogeneity of variance for IPFa 90° was not met (p = 0.02) indicating that although good reliability of the test-retest exists, a large magnitude of variances between groups were present for IPFa 90°.
A group-by-time interaction was found for impulse scaled at 90° of knee flexion for 50, 90, and 250 milliseconds, whereas no group-by-time interaction was found for any time point at 120° of knee flexion. A statistically significant time effect was found at all time points for both knee angles (p ≤ 0.05). Paired t-tests showed a statistical increase from pretraining in FP for all time points with 90 and 120° (p ≤ 0.05), but for F only at 250 milliseconds with 120° (p = 0.049) (Figures 3A, B).
Effect size for impulse scaled at 50, 90, 200, and 250 milliseconds for 90° was d = 0.30, 0.33, 0.53, and 0.57 in the F group, respectively, and d = 1.01, 0.65, 0.50, and 0.66 in the FP group, respectively. Effect size for impulse scaled at 50, 90, 200, and 250 milliseconds for 120° was d = 0.08, 0.22, 0.37, and 0.34 in the F group, respectively, and d = 1.11, 0.83, 0.52, and 0.45 in the FP group, respectively.
Test-retest reliability was determined to be ICC >0.92 for all time points measured. It is important to note that homogeneity of variance for impulse scaled at 200 and 250 milliseconds with 90° was not met (p = 0.04 and 0.02, respectively) indicating that although reliability of the test-retest exists, a large magnitude of variances between groups were present for impulse scaled at 200 and 250 milliseconds at 90° of knee flexion.
There were no statistical changes found for RFD at any time points measured in either group. A statistically significant group-by-time interaction (p = 0.037) was found for RFD at 200 milliseconds with 120° of knee flexion. However, paired t-test results showed that changes within groups were not statistically significant after postintervention testing (p > 0.05). Effect sizes were <0.3, and CVs ranged from 19.6 to 48.7% for RFD results. Test-retest reliability for all time points at 90° showed an ICC ranging from 0.74 to 0.9 and 200 and 250 milliseconds at 120° ranging from 0.76 to 0.94. Rate of force development at 50 and 90 milliseconds with 120° were excluded because of low test-retest reliability (ICC <0.7).
There was no statistical difference between groups during pre- and posttesting for any of the anthropometric variables. A time effect was found for body fat percentage (p ≤ 0.05). Body fat percentage decreased statistically by 10.3 ± 12.4%, d = 0.27 (p = 0.027) in the F group; however, the decrease did not reach statistical significance in the FP group, 5.3 ± 11.1%, d = 0.12 (p = 0.102).
A 1-way ANOVA showed no difference between groups for total VLd. The mean values for total VLd in F were 30,907 ± 5985 kg·m and in FP were 30,584 ± 5601 kg·m. VLd accomplished during each microcycle in the training intervention is depicted in Figure 4A. Despite the similarities in VLd accomplished, 1-way ANOVA results showed the FP group trained at a statistically greater overall relative TI during the intervention. The mean values for relative TI in F were 77.63 ± 3.43% 1RM and in FP were 81.84 ± 4.35% 1RM. Further analysis revealed that FP trained at a statistically larger relative TI at weeks 9, 10, and 11 of the training intervention (Figure 4B).
A strong statistical correlation was found between 1RM squat and IPFa 90° (r = 0.72, p < 0.001), whereas a moderate statistical correlation was found between 1RM squat and IPFa 120° (r = 0.45, p = 0.005). A strong statistical correlation was found between the change in 1RM squat pre- to postintervention and overall relative TI (r = 0.64, p = 0.003). A moderate statistical correlation was found between the change in IPFa 90° pre- to postintervention and full ROM squat VLd (r = 0.42, p = 0.048) (Figure 5A).
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 2 different training exercises, full ROM training, and full ROM plus partial ROM training, on recreationally trained men during 7 weeks of training. Primary findings for dynamic strength were a statistical improvement in 1RM squat and partial squat in both groups with a 3.1 and 4.7% greater improvement in the FP group, respectively. For isometric strength, the F group statistically improved IPFa 90° by 5.3% and the FP group statistically improved IPFa 120° by 8.9%. Additionally, the larger relative training intensities accomplished by the FP group during the final 3 weeks of training suggests superior adaptations. These findings support previous claims that partial plus full ROM training is an effective strategy for improving maximal strength in subjects with previous strength training experience (9,27,37).
Combined mean 1RM increased by 7.0% from T0 to preintervention, 6.7% from pre- to postintervention testing, and a total increase of 14.2% over the 12 weeks. These findings are similar to training studies that have found increases in 1RM squat ranging from 10 to 20% over a 9- to 15-week period (16,19,29). Both groups improved 1RM squat at slightly different rates (F by 5.1%, FP by 8.2%); however, there was no statistical difference between groups. These findings are in agreement with Massey et al. (25) who found no difference in 1RM bench press between full ROM and mixed training (full ROM bench press plus partial ROM bench press) 2 days per week for 10 weeks.
Similar to the findings for 1RM squat, both groups statistically improved 1RM partial squat from pretraining values with a 4.7% larger rate of gain in the FP group (10.2 vs. 14.9%); however, there was no statistical difference between groups. These findings are comparable to Bloomquest et al. (6) who reported a 20 and 36% increase for partial 1RM squat in the full ROM and partial ROM group, respectively, with the increase in the partial ROM group being statistically greater than the full ROM group after 12 weeks of training 2 days per week. The reason for the smaller increase in our findings is likely because of the difference in training status. Their subjects were untrained men, thus, a larger comparative increase in strength measures is expected and is consistent with previous research (18,33). Another possible explanation is the differences in knee angles used during training. Their subjects in the partial squat group trained at 120° compared with 100° in our study; thus, the heavier loads and shorter bar paths may have resulted in larger changes in 1RM partial squat. This study along with corroborative findings suggests that specificity of ROM in training plays a significant role in the adaptation process (6,9,11,16,17).
Although there were no statistical differences between groups for VLd, the FP group was able to train at a higher relative TI during the final 3 weeks of the intervention. The strong statistical correlation between change in 1RM squat and relative TI along with the slightly larger effect sizes for 1RM squat and partial squat in the FP group suggests superior training adaptations. These findings support previous claims that partial ROM squat with supramaximal loads enhance full ROM maximal strength in lifters with previous training experience (36,37). Alternatively, the lower relative TI in the F group may be explained by the greater number of sets performed through the full ROM, which limited the load they were capable of lifting.
Previous research on partial ROM training has not investigated force-time characteristics during isometric contractions of the movement trained with the exception of Clark et al. (9) who measured isometric peak force at quarter ROM bench press. Similar to findings by Blazevich et al. (5), a strong statistical correlation was found between IPFa 90° and 1RM squat, however, the correlation between IPFa 120° and 1RM squat was statistically significant, but not as strong. This suggests that force produced through the sticking point is more closely related to 1RM squat strength than force produced in the terminal ROM. However, only the F group statistically improved IPFa 90° although FP had a 3.1% greater improvement in 1RM squat. The larger percent increases in 1RM squat and partial squat in the FP group may be alternatively explained by greater improvements in impulse scaled at 3 of the 4 time points measured at 90°.
Although there were no statistical differences between groups for 1RM squat and IPFa 90°, the F group improved IPFa 90° over FP by a 3.8% margin and the FP group improved 1RM squat over F by a 3.1% margin. Considering the strong relationship between 1RM squat and IPFa 90°, these results seem conflicting. One possible explanation is that the F group had a greater potential for improvement on IPFa 90° (preintervention mean: 107.51 ± 6.96 vs. 114.85 ± 13.60, in the F and FP, respectively). Although there was no statistical difference between groups for total VLd, the greater volume of full ROM squats performed by the F group may also explain the difference between groups as evidenced by the moderate correlation between full ROM squat VLd and the change in IPFa 90°. Practically speaking, these data suggest that improvements in strength at the sticking point seem to be directly related to the VLd performed through the corresponding joint angles.
In contrast to IPFa 90° results, FP improved IPFa 120° by 5.7% over F, although there was no statistical interaction. Consistent with previous studies, the greater loads used during partial ROM training resulted in the ability to produce higher forces at a knee angle similar to the ROM trained (9,36,37). For applications to strength athletes, this would be advantageous for geared powerlifters who need to produce higher forces at the terminal ROM where they have less support from their gear (10).
Full ROM plus partial ROM training statistically improved impulse scaled at all time points measured for both knee angles, whereas F only improved impulse scaled at 250 milliseconds with 120° (p = 0.049). These findings seem to agree with Clark et al. (9) who found greater improvements in isokinetic bench press peak force at 45°·s−1 in the terminal portion of the movement, ½ bench press throw peak force, and full bench press throw displacement in the group that trained with variable ROM over full ROM alone. As depicted in Figure 5A, the FP group achieved a larger left and upward shift in the earlier time points of the force-time curve, which has significant implications for strength-power athletes. The greater improvements in impulse scaled at earlier time points with 90° knee flexion may explain why FP improved 1RM squat although there was no statistical improvement in IPFa 90°. Increased impulse scaled could be beneficial for 1RM strength because it may enhance ability to get through the sticking point.
The larger left and upward shift in the force-time curve in the FP group explains the larger percent increase in impulse scaled at earlier time points (Figure 5A) and suggests RFD increased over those time periods, although no statistical difference was found for RFD in either group from pre- to postintervention. Considering the small effect sizes (<0.3) and large CVs (19.6–48.7%) for RFD at all time points, impulse scaled seems to be a better representation of changes during the early stages of isometric squat force production.
In summary, partial lifts are often incorporated into resistance training programs aimed at improving maximal strength. The primary finding of our study was a trend for FP to improve over F in 1RM squat (+3.1%, d = 0.53 vs. 0.32), 1RM partial squat (+4.7%, d = 0.95 vs. 0.69), IPFa 120° (+5.7%, d = 0.52 vs. 0.12), and impulse scaled at 50, 90, 200, and 250 milliseconds at 90° (+6.3 to 13.2%, d = 0.50–1.01 vs. 0.30–0.57) and 120° (+3.4 to 16.8%, d = 0.45–1.11 vs. 0.08–0.37). The FP group also trained at an overall greater relative TI, which was strongly correlated with change in 1RM squat, indicating superior adaptations. The larger effect sizes for measures of strength and explosiveness in the FP group can likely be explained the larger relative TI in the final 3 weeks of training. These findings demonstrate that partial plus full ROM training can be an effective training modality for improving maximal strength. However, further research is needed to ascertain whether combined training is more effective than full ROM training alone. Future studies on partial ROM training should include analysis of kinetic and kinematic variables during athletic movements (such as CMJ, 40-m sprint, and agility testing), longer training programs, measures of CSA with total work controlled, and different training exercises (bench press and deadlift).
Partial ROM training has been proposed as an effective training modality for improving strength and power in the terminal ROM (9,36,37). These authors claim that partial ROM training more optimally loads the terminal ROM where joint angles, the force-velocity relationship, and movement patterns are more similar to those in sport. Although the subjects in this study were not athletes, their strength level was comparable to previous research on athletes (9,16,19). Findings of this study suggest that combined training may be more effective than full ROM training alone for improving early force-time curve characteristics. The larger effect sizes for IPFa 120° (0.48) and impulse scaled with 120° (0.45–1.11) in the FP group have implications for strength-power athletes. For example, the contact time for an elite sprinter is approximately 90 milliseconds, the effect size for impulse scaled at 90 milliseconds at 120° knee angle was 0.83 vs. 0.22 in FP and F, respectively. For an elite sprinter, producing larger forces in that narrow time window may be the difference between winning vs. losing.
This study also supports the use of partial ROM training as an effective means of providing variation in a training program for experienced lifters. As discussed previously, at higher training levels, variation becomes a larger component of the program design. Thus, from a practical standpoint, partial ROM training could be incorporated during a strength-speed mesocycle in preparation for a strength-power athlete's upcoming competition.
The authors confirm that there is no conflict of interest associated with this publication, and that there has been no financial support for this study that could have influenced its outcome.

You have this so exquisitely, excruciatingly, exactly, right. President Obama has been handicapped by the notion that he has to prove what he’s not (radical, socialist, inexperienced, irresponsible…) If he had come out swinging Jan 20, 2009, instead of catering to the banks while putting Summers and Geithner on his team, the Tea Party would have died stillborn. A lot of people just want “Change,” wherever they can find it. I still prefer our current president’s brand, but firmly and without compromise. The promise of his books was not to reach out to Republican leadership, it was to reach over their heads to the people their divisive rhetoric had, temporarily, appealed to for one reason or another. | 2019-04-25T06:23:50 | https://ebenezerray.com/2012/11/11/dottings-on-a-president/?shared=email&msg=fail |

National footprint and extensive sales coverage enables Graybar to provide first-rate service.
Graybar operates more than 290 locations throughout the continental U.S.
Over 4,000 of our associates actively work in support of participating public agencies each year - from locations right down the street.
With over $500 million in inventory, material is available when and where our U.S. Communities customers need it.
Graybar operates a centralized Call Center to support our State/Local Government and Education customers. Call Center agents assist customers on a regional basis and support order requests through local branch or service center inventory.
It is Graybar's corporate commitment to make our U.S. Communities contract the most cost-effective and efficient option for public agencies utilizing Graybar products and services.
The U.S. Communities program offers our best overall value to a state and local government agency. Our experience has shown we typically save an agency 5% or more on their total spend when compared to the agency's existing strategy.
With contract EV2370, we have extended the Volume Incentive Program (details found in Master Agreement Appendix C). This will allow the City of Kansas City and all other U.S. Communities participating agencies to potentially receive additional value through utilization of the program.
We have worked with key Graybar suppliers to negotiate reduced costs wherever possible on frequently purchased items in the core list provided. For items frequently purchased by multiple agencies, our proposal targets 5 - 10% savings to the participants assuming a consistent mix of product purchases.
Customized service and personal integrity are the foundations upon which Graybar builds the trusting, long-term relationships required in today's business environment. With over 2,000 customer service and sales representatives, Graybar is able to service U.S. Communities customers across North America.
An alliance with Graybar will result in a "strategic partner" that is focused on administrating a contractually compliant program that will reduce U.S. Communities participants overall material acquisition costs.
Our proven reliability means that you can count on Graybar to deliver continuity of operations no matter what the circumstances. The scalability inherent in our approach will enable us to provide seamless service.
Graybar can provide services to support the design and installation of any project using products sold through the contract.

Pricing will be determined by the size and scope of the project and level of Graybar's involvement.
For auditability purposes, Graybar will provide a copy of invoice to verify compliance with the Not To Exceed benchmark and all pricing will be negotiated with the agency prior to acceptance of purchase order.
The Graybar U.S. Communities pricing applies to normally stocked Graybar materials.
Discounts are based on Graybar List Price or Cost in effect at time of order. The majority of pricing on the Graybar contracts is based on a list less discount structure.
Cost-Plus discounting is used for market sensitive commodities and lighting fixtures.
Not-To-Exceed discounting is used for value added services and material with no list price in our system.
Graybar cannot sell at levels above the base contract price and reserves the right to offer a lesser discount for projects, or where large quantity discounts or localized supplier negotiations are available.
Graybar uses the order consolidation process when items for a single customer order are being obtained from various sources and are to be re-shipped as one shipment to the customer.
Does the pricing meet competitive bid requirements?
Through cooperative purchasing laws, the U.S. Communities contract, by virtue of its public bid language, generally meets the requirements for bidding in the entire United States. This allows agencies to use the pricing without taking the time to create bid documents, entertain multiple vendor inquiries and document the bids. Placing the order through Graybar allows them to utilize a quality vendor repetitively without the cost of using unknown or less reliable vendors. View State Statutes for more details.
There are no costs, minimum quantity requirements or spend limits associated with using the Graybar U.S. Communities program.
Is the pricing from a local government competitively solicited agreement?
The U.S. Communities pricing is the same pricing used to win the City of Kansas City, MO, EV2370 contract for Electrical, Lighting, Data Communications and Security Products and Related Products, Services and Solutions.
The key value for the agency is resource savings. Most agencies today are spread thinner than ever. Agencies are downsizing administrative departments and retiring or departing purchasing and maintenance positions are left unfilled. The Graybar U.S. Communities contract provides a mechanism to save the time and costs associated with obtaining quotes or preparing bids.

ready for his first time ever going away to Camp Huawni!
stamp all his clothes and things with his name! It was supposed to arrive today but it wasn't here yet when I last checked.
I hope it will be here tomorrow.
We have had a super busy last few days.
First off, we dropped off the big guy at A&M for his robotics course.
for three weeks so far away from me!!
So, Monday night I call him to see how he's doing and he didn't have time to talk to me!
I guess he's growing up and liking it.
They will be keeping them pretty busy every day not only with academics but with fun activities in the evenings.
The reason I was so apprehensive at first, is that my sweet, big guy is in the autism spectrum.
I always worry that his quirkiness will garner him some teasing or unwanted attention.
I can't wait for him to return and hear all about it.
I had a call from him just a while ago.
And a big steak will be waiting for him when he gets back.
Now, I have to continue packing for my other guy.
This summer's going to be quite the adventure. | 2019-04-21T02:25:09 | http://www.nuestrasaventurasentexas.com/2012/06/t-minus-four-days-to-camp.html |

Indianapolis-based Weaver Popcorn Co. Inc. says it is the first company to make microwave popcorn that eliminates the controversial flavoring ingredient diacetyl. The company says in a press release that its brand of popcorn with a new diacetyl-free flavor formulation will begin appearing on store shelves this week.
Diacetyl, which in recent years has come under increased scrutiny, is used in butter flavorings found in many other brands of microwave popcorn, pastries, cake mixes, flour, cookies, crackers, frozen foods, potato chips, and candy, the company says. California is considering a bill to ban its use in the state by 2010. Connecticut state representative Rosa Delauro has asked the FDA to consider a similar ban. Although diacetyl has long been considered safe for use in consumer food products, the flavoring has been cited as a possible source of injury to certain employees of food companies who may have inhaled large dosages of it while mixing it under unsafe conditions and developing bronchiolitis obliterans, a rare and serious disease of the lungs, sometimes called "Popcorn Worker's Lung," for which there is no cure.
"We follow strict safety guidelines in manufacturing our products, so we've had no incidents among our associates related to diacetyl exposure," said Weaver Popcorn President Mike Weaver. "However, we know consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about this issue, so we've taken it out of our flavorings. It was a challenge to eliminate diacetyl from our flavorings and still maintain the great buttery taste that consumers love, but we've done it."
Consumer research substantiates that the new flavoring features the same great buttery taste that consumers love, the company adds. Weaver Popcorn distributes its products in more than 90 countries. | 2019-04-21T00:41:26 | https://ohsonline.com/articles/2007/08/popcorn-company-introduces-diacetylfree-formulation.aspx |
Hi all, the photo below I am pretty certain was taken on the November 2011 Nottingham crawl. Can anyone id it? the numbering on my camera says it was at the Newshouse but there are no distinguishing features and I was quite squiffy at that point so can't recall too much!
I dont think that is the News House,the room looks more like a lounge and if this was in the News House with the camera facing the bar the busy canal street should be to the right,it looks to me like a corridor linking one room to another on the right of the picture.
If you put i list of all pubs you went in in Nottingham on that day i might be able to help you out,i was down there today doing the odd pub or bar i hav'nt been in plus going in some of my more regualar haunts.
Sorry i could'nt sort this one out for you straight away.
I've been in all those pubs many times including once since the crawl and it doesn't look like any of them to me.
The type of decor is similar to the Sir John Borlase Warren, but the bar seems wrong for there.
How about the Ropewalk that is near the Organ Grinder. We went in there, and a few of you joined us later there.
I used to go in most of the pubs on that list weekly and have been in them this year,it is definatly not the Sir John Borlase Warren or any others on that list.
I have been thinking about most city centre pubs and none seem to come to mind,though gills suggestion about the Ropewalk could be it,as i have only been in this a few times and am not that sure about the inside of it. | 2019-04-20T16:56:36 | http://forums.pubsgalore.co.uk/archive/index.php/t-12553.html?s=d44382226d80330c57541bb5b1c686fe |
Great to see Pierre back in action today at the IMC meeting in Leixlip over 3000m. This was his first day on a track since last August and he finished in 3rd missing out narrowly on 2nd place running a faster time than he did in the same race last year. A very encouraging result and hopefully will lead to better things as the season progresses. Daire Finn also ran well in his first outing over 3k. In the 1500m races Sean Donoghue didn’t enjoy the windy conditions but he remained competitive to the finish line as did Susie Mc Manus in the womens event. Cliona Murphy was close to her best time in the 800m and like everyone else could have done without the gales.
In an equally blustery Irishtown Alison Burke won a close race in the under 19 sprint hurdles and rushed back home to prepare for her final leaving cert exams on Monday.

Date nights. They come few and far between these days, but when they happen, we make them COUNT.
Double-date nights are even more rare for #modernbocadad and I, but come to find out @AprilGolightly and her husband are big Game of Thrones fans like we are. Of course we snagged immediate tickets to the IMAX showing of the last two episodes and popped by Bonefish Grill Boca Raton pre-movie to indulge in some yummy new bar bites and cocktails!
One of my top picks! Oyster Shooters are served with cocktail sauce, salsa verde and habanero vodka for a kick.
The night was off to a good start! Sometimes you just don’t feel like having (or have time for) a huge, expensive dinner. Light bites and appetizers are always fun with a group!
The Mule – Bonefish’s version of a Moscow Mule, made with Grey Goose, fresh lime, homemade ginger syrup & ginger beer.
Bonefish Grill’s IN + ON Bar Bites Menu is perfect for those who crave a taste of multiple mouth-watering bites at a great value. From On the Bun Dim Sum Style Sliders served in an individual bamboo steamer with choice of Chipotle Shrimp or BBQ Pork to On the Stack Tostadas featuring crispy wonton layers and choice of finely chopped, sushi-grade Ahi Tuna Tartare or Chipotle Shrimp, you can now enjoy bites at the bar starting at just $4.
The boys were huge fans of the In the Bite Mac + Cheese Bites — crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, served with sweet chili sauce.
To round out the bar menu, In the Dough Doughnuts are a DIY-style dessert served with miniature squeezable bottles of sea salt caramel and chocolate sauce for you to fill to your heart’s content! I wish we could have brought an extra order to the movie theater with us.
The bar menu is available at all locations dine-in only from 4PM to close daily.

Svoboda ‘Promoting Genital Autonomy by Exploring Commonalities between Male, Female, Intersex, and Cosmetic Female Genital Cutting’ Global Discourse 2012.
Global Discourse has published on June 20, 2013 my attached article on genital autonomy, that is, on the importance of protecting all children from genital cutting regardless of whether they are male, female or intersex. The article also looks at the practice of cosmetic female genital cutting by consenting adults. The article is titled, "Promoting Genital Autonomy by Exploring Commonalities between Male, Female, Intersex, and Cosmetic Female Genital Cutting," and is adapted from the paper I presented on September 1, 2011 at the conference held at the University of Keele, "Law, Human Rights, and Non-Therapeutic Interventions on Children."
The attached comment on my article, published in Global Discourse as a reply to my article and authored by female genital cutting (FGC) scholar Sara Johnsdotter, finds itself largely in agreement with my article and has no serious critiques of it. I had praised Johnsdotter's articles in my reviews of the two volumes on FGC edited by Bettina Shell-Duncan and Ylva Hernlund and published in 2000 and 2007. We are pleased at the growing convergence between the different branches of work on genital autonomy. | 2019-04-22T06:58:18 | http://www.arclaw.org/our-work/publications/stevens-paper-genital-autonomy-published-praised-anti-fgc-scholar |

As I told you last week I have been intentionally and methodically reading and learning all I can about making wise diet and lifestyle choices for not only my mom who is going through chemotherapy, but for my family also.
I also let you know that diet seemed to be overlooked as way of fighting cancer in our community cancer center where my mom is being treated.
When she was first diagnosed I turned to books, those that had been through this before, and the internet for information. One of the books that I purchased is called ‘Anti cancer A new Way of Life’ by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD. He himself is a 2x cancer survivor.
Of everything I have read this book was the one that I was most deeply moved by, as it is a book that is memoir, part scientific study as to the inner workings of cancer and what makes it grow. It takes a practical view of the roles traditional western and alternate health care can play in cancer treatment and prevention.
In the very center of this book is a glossy colored section called ‘Anticancer Action’ which in tables and and easy to read graphs summarizes the actions to take to help avoid cancer. It even has a grocery list of things to have for an anticancer diet!
Avoid products containing industrial chemicals whenever possible.
Example, air our your dry-cleaned clothing, avoid chemical cleaning products, avoid parabens and phthalates in cosmetic products.
A colorful plate full that is divided between the largest portion of fruits, vegetables, and vegetable proteins like beans and lentils. The next largest being filled with multi-grain breads and whole grains like rice and quinoa. Next is good fats high in omega 3’s like olive oil and flaxseed. Herbs and spices are an important part of this plate too, tumeric, mint, and garlic are included. Lastly is the optional animal protein section that included organic meats, eggs, and dairy products.
This is certainly the most insightful, well-documented and practical of all that I have read so far. There is deep and compelling evidence that we all have the capacity for not only prevention of disease but to actually participate in healing of our own bodies.
I highly recommend this to not only cancer patients and their families but anyone interested in prevention of disease.
I would also like to thank you all for your great comments last week. I learn so much from all of the readers here!
The days are officially getting shorter, the weather cooler, and the trees are getting their signals to start changing their colors. It seems like Autumn goes by quickly. That no sooner does the foliage change than the leaves start piling in our yards. Cool and sunny afternoons turn into rainy, cold days, and before we know it Old Man Winter is knocking on our door.
Leave No Trace: How to enjoy the outdoors ethically and responsibly.
Fall Foliage Maps by Region. The Weather Channel has a great mini-site advising when to expect foliage color changes.
Plan ahead and enjoy this time of the season. It doesn’t last long!
What’s your favorite part of Autumn?

Why is Nutrition Ignored in Cancer Treatment?
I have learned so much over the past few weeks about the treatment of cancer…specifically breast cancer.
We have received loads of paperwork describing the symptoms to expect with the varies methods of treatment. We have received an equal number of paperwork describing how each treatment effects the body. And even more on how to cope with them.
I have read every single word on every single line on each page of information.
What I have found completely shocking is the lack of reference to good nutrition before, during, and after cancer treatment.
Actually there had not been one word…NOT ONE!
The link between what goes in our mouths and the health of our bodies is very clear. Study after study shows that basically ‘you are what your eat’.
Yet in the fight for her life not one single doctor, nurse practitioner, RN, or CNA has even mentioned diet or nutrition.
I asked the very nice nurse in charge of her ‘chemo training’ about getting some information on nutrition. And note that this is a fairly large dedicated cancer center my mom is being treated at, full of different oncologists, chemo treatment rooms, labs, radiation treatment rooms, and such.
Here is the conversation I had with her….
Do you have any hand-outs on what to eat during chemo to help keep her healthy and her immune system up?
Ummm…we don’t have anything like that.
You have hand-outs covering everything else including how to buy a wig but you don’t have anything on nutrition?
But there is a dietitian over at the hospital that you could possibly see.
Does she specialize in treating cancer patients.
Well no, she mostly sees heart and diabetic patients.
To be honest we usually tell cancer patients to eat whatever sounds good.
Even if its McDonalds Big Mac and fries?
I did not expect diet to be a big part of her treatment.
But to completely ignore the effects of diet on a sick patient seems utterly inconceivable to me. It is short-sighted and ignorant in my personal opinion.
So I have been devouring every book I can get my hands on, reading website after website on the subject of diet on disease, especially cancer.
I will be back next week to let you know what I have learned.
And be assured I firmly believe that diet does indeed play an important part in treatment of disease…cancer included.
Even if the medical establishment in our town chooses to think otherwise.
The potato produces more calories and protein than any other food crop in terms of space and amount of time. It also stores for up to 6 months under good conditions and can be grown in marginal soil anywhere from sea level up to 13,000 feet. The potato produces about 10,000 pounds of food per acre. A 100 foot row can yield 150-300 pounds of potatoes per year. The average American currently eats about 140 pounds of potatoes per year.
Do you grow potatoes in your garden? How many do you grow? | 2019-04-24T23:09:06 | https://notdabblinginnormal.wordpress.com/2010/09/ |

I am so excited about today's homeschool post. I know this is the one that many of you have been waiting for.
I have tried a few other lesson planners over the years, but my favorite is the Teacher Planner from Erin Condren. It is set up for a classroom teacher, but I am going to show you how I made a few tweaks to utilize most of the planner for homeschooling. You can see last year's planner here.
I can't seem to get away from the paisley pattern. This year I went with navy and white.
I made a few changes to the all about me page. I wanted this page to serve as a reference page for info that I might need to find quickly. I filled in the top section with all of the phone numbers and email addresses for our homeschool covering and contacts.
I can't remember what the heading was for the middle section, but I didn't need it. I added some scrapbook paper and stickers from the Erin Condren Cool for School Sticker book and changed it to rules. These are important!
The bottom section is for websites and passwords. I didn't want to list the passwords, but I do keep a running list of websites that we frequent. I just added more scrapbook paper and a stickers.
The next section in the planner is "dates". The first 2 pages have lists of holidays and dates already filled in for you. The next 2 pages are for birthdays. I only have 2 students, not a classroom full of kids. I decided to use this section to list the art projects that we want to do each month.
I used the same scrapbook paper and stickers to change the headings.
The next section is "absent". It's another section I don't need as is, but it is perfect for using as a book list. We will be reading a lot of books this year. I changed the headings with scrapbook paper and stickers, and then used the blank stickers from the back of the planner to change the name on the column headings.
The "graph" section will be used by most classroom teachers for mapping our seating charts and room layouts. I use it to keep lists and resources for extra classes and projects that we are doing.
Since I am not using the calendar section of the planner as an actual calendar, I am going to use the "year plan" for keeping up with important dates. Most of these will be in my regular life planner, but I thought it might be nice to have them here for reference as well.
I found that I really didn't utilize the monthly calendar sections of the planner last year. All of our events need to be on my main calendar. I wanted to use it for something, so I am using it to separate Cade and Henry's assignments. Since Henry is in K5, he doesn't have much that I need to write down. He likes seeing his assignments in his own little section so that he can highlight them when they are complete. If you don't keep a personal planner, this would be great for keeping up with appointments and outings.
I do really like the pages of notes that are included at the end of each monthly section. I used stickers from the back to create weekly sections for writing down our Bible Curriculum. I like to have a place to write out the memory verses they are learning each week and list the videos that we will be watching. These pages would be great for planning out all kinds of things.
The "lessons" portion of the planner is what makes this planner work for me! I like the colors, the lines, and the box for numbering your weeks. I like it all! You fill in your subjects across the top and your dates down the side. There is plenty of room for writing in lesson plans. I don't use nearly all of the space provided. I think you could easily make it work for multiply children. I don't currently color code, but I probably will once Henry has more subjects and it makes for sense for his assignments to be listed out like this.
My favorite pens to use are the Sharpie pens. We highlight the assignment once it has been completed.
The "lessons" section will always be my favorite, but the "check list" is running close behind it. This section is perfect for logging grades, but I really only need one sheet per kid. This left a lot of unused pages.
No worries! You can turn them into a chore list. My kids have chores that they are responsible for. These are posted at other places in the house, but I am bad about remembering to remind them. This helps ME remember to keep up with what they need to do.
There is even room at the bottom of the page for a check list of things that I need to do on a weekly basis.
I would purchase the planner just for the "lessons" section, but I like knowing that I really am utilizing the full planner.
I hope that these tips are helpful to you. I didn't go through each and every page in the planner, but I did go through the ones that I have altered to fit my needs. Want to see more? Check out the video on YouTube.

I love your blog too and am trying to decide on the Teacher or Life Planner for my Homeschool needs! :) Thanks for the opportunity to win this giveaway!!!
That's a hard one. It really depends on how much stuff you are going to need to keep track of.
That looks like a fantastic planner!
Thanks, Angela, I really am enjoying it.
This is my 1st year HS! And 3 different grades so I'm looking forward to reading on your planning tips and hoping for a fun win!
I bet! That is one of my favorites too. I went to the grocery store on a Saturday about a month ago, and was like, never again!
Thank you! It has taken me a few years to get the organization part down, but I like where we are with it. I watched one of your older videos or read a post and you mentioned you were homeschooled. Very cool fact to learn. Did you like being homeschooled? I hated being homeschooled and said I would never homeschool my kids, so I'm just curious.
I look forward to our routine!
I bet, routines are good!
I look forward to watching my boy's curiosity and diving into learning with them.
This is my first year using the EC teacher planner. Thank you for sharing how you utilize it! | 2019-04-26T09:56:36 | http://www.carrygrace.com/2015/09/the-homeschool-series-how-i-use-erin.html |

In a bulkhead application, replacing a traditional metal component with the UDMAX tape lamination within the part reduced mass by 35 percent. Photo courtesy of SABIC.
PARIS—At the international composites show JEC World 2019 in March, SABIC unveiled a new technology for producing lightweight, cost-effective, and recyclable vehicle panels using its UDMAX™ tape, a unidirectional, fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite. The technology, designed to replace traditional panels made of metal and thermoset materials for interior and exterior automotive applications, is on track to be commercialized in the bulkhead of a light commercial vehicle (LCV) produced in large scale for the global automotive market, SABIC said in a press release.
The bulkhead was developed through an international collaboration among SABIC; RLE International, an engineering services provider headquartered in the United Kingdom; AMA Composites, an Italian toolmaker; and Setex Textil GmbH, a weaver based in Germany. SABIC showed a sample model of the composite bulkhead at its JEC World 2019 exhibit.
Vehicle panels made with UDMAX tape combine strength and impact resistance with light weight, reducing mass of interior panels by up to 35 percent versus metal parts. For exterior panels, the composite material can help reduce mass by up to 50 percent. The panels are produced using a highly efficient, one-shot process of lamination and low-pressure molding.
“Our UDMAX tapes offer the automotive industry a powerful solution to the ongoing challenges of reducing weight, lowering costs, and improving sustainability,” said Hans Warmerdam, CEO and chief sales and marketing officer, SABIC FRT – a SABIC affiliate—in the release. “We’re confident that the light commercial vehicle’s bulkhead is the first of many structural applications where our innovative materials, combined with this novel processing approach, can help solve our customers’ challenges of achieving lighter weight without compromising safety, durability, and fuel or energy use.
“Through continued collaboration among this unique team of engineers, designers, and technical experts in materials and in conversion processes, we intend to explore more ways to expand the adoption of our thermoplastic composite technology,” he added.
The use of thermoplastic composites can lead to a significant reduction in mass. In the bulkhead application, the replacement of a traditional metal component with the UDMAX tape lamination within the part reduced mass by 35 percent. Lower weight can also make the large bulkhead easier to handle, which could help accelerate vehicle assembly.
Compared to metallic or injection molded parts of a conventional, multi-piece bulkhead, the new method – designed, developed and engineered by RLE International – is said to reduce tool costs by up to 80 percent versus injection molding tools. The saving is due to the ability to replace an expensive, high-pressure tool with a lower-cost, low-pressure tool. Overall, the supplied cost of the LCV’s bulkhead can be 10 percent lower than the conventional metallic bulkhead that it replaces, SABIC said.
The technology is also said to represent a change in vehicle panel production by increasing efficiency and reducing complexity. With molding cycle times under two minutes, the streamlined process avoids sourcing and assembling multiple components, traditionally at different supplier locations, as well as secondary painting and trim operations.
A proprietary lamination featuring a core of extra-wide UDMAX tape woven by Setex incorporates aesthetic finish in a one-shot compression step. The process also permits variations in the thickness of the panel to improve noise, vibration, and harshness (NHV) levels, helping to reduce noise in the vehicle. AMA Composites created the tool and molded the concept parts. | 2019-04-24T09:52:28 | https://www.d2pmagazine.com/2019/04/09/thermoplastic-composite-tape-has-key-role-in-new-technology-to-produce-vehicle-panels/ |

A fake army officer who bears the name Bartholomew Paul, and specialises in smuggling cars into the country, has been arrested by the Kogi State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
It was alleged that the accused was posing as an army officer in the state.
The suspect was paraded yesterday along with seven others for their alleged involvement in pipeline vandalism, vandalism of telecommunication cables, illegal dealings on transformer cables and illegal possession and dealings in firearms and ammunition.
Parading the suspects at the command headquarters in Lokoja, the state Commandant of NSCDC, Mr. Everestus Obiyo, said the alleged impersonator was arrested at the Nigeria Army check-point at Ayere in the Western part of the state.
Paul, according to the commandant, has been smuggling cars from Seme Border using the military uniform.
In his statement, Paul told journalists how he was caught by security agencies in Kogi State.
According to him, “I am a driver who usually buys cars for people. At the military checking point, the soldiers stopped me because the car that I drove was tinted. They asked me who the owner of the vehicle was, quickly I responded that I am not the owner but it belongs to my brother. Then, they insisted that they are going to search the vehicle. When they searched the vehicle, they discovered where I kept the military uniform inside the boot with my fake military identity card. My friend advised me to do the fake military identity card to prevent security men from stopping me on the road while smuggling fairly used cars into the country.
The suspect alleged that one Sergeant Sanni Bello attached to 323 artillery brigade in Akure, Ondo State, helped him to make the fake identity card.
“Sergeant Bello said I should keep the identity card and the military uniform inside the vehicle so that wherever I am, there won’t be problem with security officers stopping me on the road,†the suspect added.
Items recovered from Paul are Black Lexus SUV, full military uniform, two number of military uniform passport, dependent military identity car and two number identity cards, bearing different name.
Other suspects paraded by the command for pipeline vandalism and illegal possession of fire arms and ammunition are Mohammed Adamu, Abubakar Abdulkareem, Hafiz Musa, Faruk Ibrahim, Oseni Yau, Adamu Asuba, and Gideon Isaac.
All the suspects, according to the commandant, will be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded. | 2019-04-22T04:02:51 | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2018/06/13/fake-army-officer-specialised-in-smuggling-cars-arrested-in-kogi/ |
