en | N/A | N/A | We are off the oxygen!
Thank you for praying. We are off the oxygen, so one prayer request answered, but fever still spiked up so keep praying!
Well, what can I say?I'm tiredy etc. I'll try to include all of the details here. I can't write Facebook statuses for all of this!
Tuesday night HK started having a different kind of seizure for her. Her body started shaking mildly and when I gave the emergency diastat medicine, it didn't pull her out of it so we hopped in the car and drove (actually sped) to the ER which for us is about 45 min away driving fast. The seizure continued until we were about 10 minutes away and then stopped, but we drove on and got a room right away in the ER. They ran some tests and everything seemed normal. At about 2:00 am the doctors decided they were going to admit us to be watched overnight, so I sent Jarod home for sleep because he had to work the next day. HK and I spent the night on the ICU floor. She slept all night due to the seizure and about 4:00 am I went to sleep. Woke up about 8:00 the next morning and HK seemed to be fine, sleepy, but fine. The doctors came around and when the neurologist came by, HK had woken up grumpy and she was crying...
She started having her normal eye twitch seizures, but they kept going and coming on again, so on top of the emergency diastat she had the night before and increased doses of her normal meds, they gave her adivan through her IV to treat the seizures. At that point, the nurse tried to deep suction her and get some mucus out but HK gagged, and threw up, but because of all the seizure medicine she was so out of it, that she couldn't get it up. So she started choking, couldn't get a breath, called in rapid response and we all of a sudden became that room where all the nurses come to!
So, where are we now?When all of that drama happened we think that HK probably aspirated some of her throw up (I apologize to those of you with weak tummies). So, we now sit in the PICU with HK on oxygen, having fevers (due to the aspiration) and still having some eye twitch seizures. Don't have any idea when we will go home. The neurologist said this morning that he would like her seizures to be down before we go home, have to be transferred to a regular room first and obviously off oxygen. Luckily, we are well on our way to being off that!
Yes, we are disappointed that we couldn't go to the beach. It was just the three of us and we were so looking forward to some rest and relaxation away from hospitals, doctors offices, work and therapy!We just wanted to play!
Thank you all for your love, prayers, offers of help and support. Please pray that HK can get off her oxygen soon, that her seizures would get under control, that her fevers would stop and there would be no infection!
Month 12!How did that happen?
Mommy and Daddy cannot believe you are one year old!NICU with you talking to you, watching your every move and praying we could take you home soon!Oh my word, look how far you have come!When we left the hospital no doctor or nurse knew how you would do once you got home and all you have done is work hard and surprise every one of them!Mommy didn't know if she would ever get to enjoy your smile or hear your sweet voice and now we tell you every day how beautiful you are and you get the BIGGEST smile on your face!You talk so much now that I'm not sure I want you to learn words. I think it might be frightening to hear the things you say!
You have ministered to so many simply through the way you work so hard and are so joyful while doing it. I pray your life and just how many people you have touched. While you haven't met specific milestones on time, you have made beautiful progress and I know it will continue. This month I don't care as much about your weight, height or new things you are learning, but I choose to focus on what a picture of God's faithfulness you are to me. While there are so many days I don't understand God's plan for your life, I rest in the knowledge that He has one!
You have taught mommy to trust God even in the darkness, to love others unconditionally, to believe God has a plan for my life too, to live every day as if it were my last, and to live in the moment. The most important thing you have taught me is that God is in control of life, death, circumstances and all of it WILL bring Him glory!
We love you more than you could ever possibly know! |

Massive stars begin their lives in cold, dense cores which are much more massive than the stars which form in them. We summarise the results of a program to find the earliest examples of massive star formation, and to examine the evolutionary sequence of events that occurs as such a star begins to form and heat its surroundings. Methanol maser emission has proved to be a particularly potent tool to locate such cores, though there are also clearly many massive cores which do not exhibit such maser emission. Our program began with a survey for 6.6 GHz methanol maser emission, but expanded to include dust continuum surveys in the mm and sub–mm, a survey for hot molecular cores associated with ‘isolated’ masers through mm-line CH3CN emission, and follow-up probing of some cores through sub-arcsecond, diffraction limited observations in the mid–IR. This program is outlined below.
. In 2002, an irrigation problem resulted in a period of water-deficit stress during seed fill of MG II soybean. Under these conditions, treatment with acifluorfen at GS V3 reduced soybean yield, and treatment with lactofen during early reproductive development reduced soybean yield, relative to untreated soybean. This research indicates that diphenylether herbicides can be safely applied to well-watered ultra-short–season soybean, but yield reduction can occur when applied to soybean that is not well watered. |

en | N/A | N/A | January 20, 2010 > Water, water... is it everywhere? (Part II)
As an almost unconscious act, consumers ask for and receive the essence of life - water - on demand many times each day. Abundance or scarcity of this compound controls how and where we live. In the Tri-City area, the venerable Alameda County Water District (ACWD) has been meeting the challenges of water distribution since its inception in 1914.Last month, TCV spoke with Paul Piraino who retired as General Manager of ACWD and current ACWD General Manager Walt Wadlow to discuss past and future challenges and accomplishments. This is the conclusion of that interview (Part 1 can be found in the January 6, 2010 issue of TCV).TCVretrofitting its Hetch- Hetchy pipeline. In the event of a major disaster, can they restrict our usage of water from that source?Piraino: We have a proportional agreement that allows access to Hetch- Hetchy water. If we are cut back on supply, they must cut back as well. In the long term, San Francisco will need to practice more conservation to meet their population demands. Capacity of the pipeline is not increasing but the reliability of delivery even in the event of a large earthquake will increase dramatically.Wadlow: Our contractual relationship gives us water rights and assurances that San Francisco cannot take excess water and restrict their suburban customers disproportionately. SFPUC has not had the opportunity for maintenance of existing infrastructure in the Irvington Tunnel because of continuing demand for water. Construction of the new tunnel will allow maintenance of the old tunnel and allow use of new construction methods.Piraino: San Francisco has the right to take more water than they do now, but because of environmental issues, they have made a commitment not to do this for the next 20 years. What they get from the Tuolumne [River] and their local watersheds is what they will get. Anything they need in addition to that will have to come from local sources including conservation, recycled water and maximizing groundwater basins where available.TCV: Is ACWD the only water agency to use desalination?Piraino: We are the only agency in the Bay Area at this time.TCV: Are other water districts considering this?Wadlow: Marin is looking at a slightly different form of desalination. We desalinate brackish or slightly salty groundwater. Marin is looking at seawater desalination. They are looking at this on the Central Coast - Santa Cruz and Monterey areas but we are the only agency that currently desalinates.Piraino: There is a consortium of agencies including San Francisco,East Bay MUD that are looking at creating a large desalination facility. This is in the early stages and may or may not happen.TCV: Why is it feasible for ACWD to do this and problematic for others?Piraino: There are three answers to that... location, location, location. We were in an area that had an overdrafted groundwater basin up until the 1960s. There was a lot of brackish groundwater that was not moving anywhere. This needed to be removed to maintain the fresh water of the rest of our groundwater. We had been pumping this out to the Bay since the 1970s. When technology advanced, it became cost effective for us to treat the water and make it a potable supply. Even the discharge of this process is technically considered fresh water so it is inexpensive to treat the water and dispose of the concentrate.Wadlow: The key is that this is salty groundwater instead of ocean water. Even though we call it brackish, it has a much lower salt content and concentration than seawater. Getting the salt out of seawater is a much more expensive proposition. It is cost effective for us and has the additional benefit of allowing the restoration of our groundwater basin resource. We remove the salty water and recharge the fresh water which is a key part of our water plan.TCV: How long can this process continue? When will the brackish water disappear?Piraino: Maybe 50 to 100 years.Wadlow: It's a long timelinour desalination facility. That will be as large as it can be. This a viable part of our water supply for many decades.Piraino: If we ever did deplete the brackish water, the plant could be used to remove salts to create softer water. The plant would not go to waste even under those conditions.TCV: In the event of an emergency where water supplies from Hetch-Hetchy and the Central Valley were cut off, how long could we survive? Would other districts take water from us?Wadlow: There is no state mandated reserve for dealing with an emergency situation. Each agency in the state has different access to emergency reserves. Even if ACWD becomes severed from our supplies, one of the benefits especially with the seismic retrofit of San Francisco's pipeline we are likely to have water from them even following a major earthquake on the Hayward Fault.Piraino: We are first in line on that pipeline.Wadlow: Because we have the desalination facility and groundwater wells, we can turn to our own groundwater sources and make use of those. We are also investigating with the Department of Water Resources in San Francisco to see whether we can make a connection between the South Bay Aqueduct where our state supply comes from and the Hetch-Hetchy system so if our supply from the aqueduct was interrupted, we could use an alternate pipeline to bring that water to us.TCV: Is emergency water management a 'hot' topic at the state level?Piraino: Emergency services personnel are always working on a regional and statewide basis.Wadlow: From the state perspective there is a lot of focus on the Delta not only because of the ecological issues and water supply issues, but also from the impact of an earthquake on the levees. This would lead to salt water intrusion and potentially devastating effect on the water supply from the Delta which would affect the Bay Area and the rest of California south of here. All water agencies not only work on our own supplies but interconnections with others to get us through times like that.TCV: Who uses the most water?Piraino: In the State of California, eighty percent of developed water is used by agriculture.Wadlow: A lot of water supports environmental purposes not necessarily through development. In the ACWD area, residential use is by far the largest demand. We plan 20 to 30 years in advance because it takes a long time to make sure an adequate water system is in place. The water business is infrastructure heavy -pipelines, plants and pumping stations. The days of finding a new, large water source in California are gone so we have to use conservation and recycled water use to meet increased demand. We think that with our portfolio if we have a reliable state supply, the existing supply from Hetch-Hetchy, our groundwater basin and additional investments in conservation and recycled water, we can meet the demands of our area.Piraino: As we become more water conscious, our behavior changes to conserve through legislation and devices such as low flow shower heads, toilets and appliances. Behavioral changes are evident in the reduced use of water.We also offer incentives with PG&E and Union Sanitary District. We have seen an increasing number of rebates. As appliances wear out, people purchase even more efficient products so we are seeing cycles of conservation. This becomes a part of the way people live their lives. As a water district, we need that type of behavior from individuals - that must be part of the overall water portfolio that lets us accommodate an increasing population.TCV: As people become more conservative in their use of water, will this increase the cost?Wadlow: One of the challenges we face is trying to explain to someone who has conserved water and followed the 'message.' Why are my rates going up? Water is different than many other businesses. We are an agency that secures, treats, produces and delivers water. Unlike other businesses, even as we conserve, we cannot shut down part of a treatment plant; we have to maintain our facilities. Also, we do not really buy the water rather we pay for the facilities to bring it to us. There is a large fixed cost component.(This concludes the interview)I am writing this letter to commend three of your employees who came to my mother-in-law's home, the day after Christmas, to repair a water leak that was seriously bubbling up in her front yard. Three employees, Noah, Mike and Charlie did a beautiful job of fixing the broken saddle that was supplying water to the home across the street from my mother-in-law. My wife, who is creative, wrote this little poem that we would like you to share with them.T'was the Day after Christmas and all through the lawnWere bubbles of water; what had gone wrong?The driveway was flooded out into the street. Was this Santa's idea of a last minute treat?Then from the street there arose such a clatter.I jumped from my chair to see what was the matter. On fire truck, on water trucks to tend to the mess. It looked like a broken water main was my very best guess.The workers were busy while digging in the mud,I sat in the sun and avoided the crud. Soil disappeared as the hose sucked up the dirt. I noticed the cute workers and began to flirt.The pipe we soon saw was in terrible shape.With holes all around, a sorry sight it did make. Hour after hour the workers did toil. And we saw how their clothes were all covered in soil.The job was soon finished much to our delight.And soon all the neighbors would have water tonight. With praise to the workers, their job now was done. So off they went home to clean up and have fun.Thank you again for your service and such competent and thoughtful workers.Dean & Margaret Lewis |

Below is Whimsical. This was a shade that I wasn't originally going to pick up, as I wanted Demure instead. It's sort of got some pinky-blue undertones going on, and obviously a slight glittery shimmer to it. Not my favourite, but still a very wearable colour.

This morning I was able to take a hot shower on the boat instead of walking to the bathhouse to shower. I hate that. Our marina bathhouse is really quite nice, but what I hate about showering there isn't the walking there carrying my soap and shampoo and towel and comb, or the shower itself, what I hate is walking back with chilly wet hair. Ugh, doing that feels so much like camping out. Such a simple thing, but when the comfort bar had been lowered by our recent weeks without, being able to shower aboard had all the relaxing effects of going to the spa.

While I am a transplanted NJ girl, I do not consider myself northern. I do not like the snow, the cold, or winter. This winter though I have decided to embrace it with welcome light. I left up star lights from Ikea, I light more candles. I make inviting spaces in my home and embrace the cold and dark nights. I am reading more. I am going out more and engaging friends more. I have not started baking but it could happen ;). I am filling my home with warm spaces and things I love to get me through the darkness.
I Love Paris, I have been years ago and slowly I am filling my home with Eiffel Towers and other things that remind me of Paris. I know speak some French and hope one day to return to this gorgeous country known as France. It has rolling hills, beautiful country, fields of lavender, all things that make me dream through winter and again help me to move though the darkness.
Happy New Year to all my readers. I thank you for following along as I write, and make my way through the darkness. You are all a bright spot in my world.
Six weeks of winter are left. Of course it is scattered a week or day here or there through the middle of April. I look forward to longer days. Cheers.

en | N/A | N/A | Board of Regents Chair calls on Fairview, Sanford to endorse MPact Health Care Innovation vision
As dcontinue throughout the state, the Chair of the Board of Regents today outlined why more time is needed for continued discussions around the proposed Fairview/Sanford merger to assure Minnesotans that they will receive the exemplary clinical care they expect from the University of Minnesota. In calling for more time to evaluate the details of the proposed merger, Chair Ken Powell also called upon the health care systems to publicly disclaim their intent to proceed “with or without the University” and to endorse the University five-point vision for the future of Minnesota’s health care.
This and other health care discussions occurred during the Board’s February meetings this week.
“M Health is part of M Health Fairview for reasons more than branding buildings. Squeezing out the Block M is squeezing out the public interest,” Powell said. “The ingredients are at hand for a bright future. Top-of-class health care cannot be accomplished piecemeal or by deadlines that do not make business or public policy sense. It requires working together to build it right.”
Powell also praised the Fairview employees delivering care to patients, emphasizing that the issue is orienting leadership priorities around teaching and research, as well as high quality clinical care. The full text of the Chair Powell's written remarks are available here.
Following Fairview and Sanford’s Letter of Intent — developed without University involvement and announced last fall — and in light of the health care providers’ self-imposed merger deadline of March 31, the University revealed its MPact Health Care Innovation vision last month. Myron Frans, senior vice president for operations, andreiterated to the Board five primary points of the University’s vision to serve the health care needs of Minnesotans statewide, now and for decades to come. The vision honors the Medical School’s 135-year-old mission and the University’s comprehensive research and teaching missions focused on nearly all health professions. The five points include:
Operate a world-class academic health system that ensures Minnesotans have access to a leading academic health system, which brings forward all of the benefits of integrated research, teaching and top-level clinical care.
Establish University governance and control over this academic health system, including University ownership of flagship U of M facilities: and West Bank, Masonic Children’s Hospital and the Clinics and Surgery Center.
Remain open to opportunities for strategic partnerships with numerous health systems. Not only is this essential to fulfilling the University’s land-grant mission, it maximizes the reach of this mission-focused work and impact on the health of all Minnesotans.
Continue planning for a new, state-of-the-art hospital, which Minnesota will badly need as the current hospital facilities on the East Bank and West Bank continue to age past their useful lifespans. A newly designed, state-of-the-art hospital complex on the East Bank will move clinical and academic medicine forward for the next century, but it will take years of continued, careful planning to realize.
Commit to investments in current facilities, with state and community partners, to effectively bridge across the next 5-10 years, until a new hospital is available. The University’s faculty and patients need well-functioning facilities today.
“Our a top-tier, nation ,” said Frans. “The mission of the University, which is to serve Minnesota, and the public interests of the State must be front and center as we continue discussions about this once-in-a-generation opportunity.”
U of M, CentraCare move ahead with rural health-focused initiative
Following a December Board discussion about opportunities to strengthen a partnership between the Medical School and CentraCare Health, the Board approved a non-binding statement of interest with CentraCare on Friday morning.
Tolar, joined by K provided additional details before the Board’s vote about how this partnership would help address the daunting challenges facing healthcare in rural communities, notably the growing shortage of medical professionals.
The statement of interest specifically outlines intentions for the Medical School and CentraCare to jointly develop and oversee a comprehensive rural health program that leverages the organizations’ respective strengths. This affiliation would touch all areas of the Medical School’s mission, including teaching, research and clinical services, guided by an oversight committee equally representing both organizations.
Exciting new initiatives envisioned by this agreement, including a medical school campus in St. Cloud, will layer on top of will help ensure superior clinical care and the education of Minnesota’s future rural physicians.

en | N/A | N/A | Pregnancy can be regarded asto Mommy and the husband. Therefore, Mommy needs to prepare everything in order to avoid problems during pregnancy and to keep Mommy’s body stay healthy, and during labor and delivery, the process will go smoothly.
Of course, this does not only need to be done by Mommy herself, but also the husband who needs to be an alert husband. When the time of delivery comes, Mommy gets all the needs and treatment needed.
There are some things that need to be prepared so that Mommy’s husband becomes alert husband. The first and most important thing is the Mommy’s husband health and physical condition. Why? It would be funny and problematic if the husband is suddenly sick when Mommy needs help and care from a doctor. The husband cannot provide the help that Mommy needs and the undesirable things might happen.
The husband's health is not only necessary when Mommy will give birth. When Mommy was pregnant, husband's physical condition readiness is also important in order to help Mommy getting all the needs for childbirth. So, the one who needs to be healthy is not only the pregnant Mommy but also the husband. Therefore, Mommy also needs to keep in mind about it and it would be better if Mommy and the husband help each other to get a good physical condition and stay healthy.
There are two kinds of delivering tips that need to be prepared by the husband. The first is before labor. The first thing that needs to be prepared is the vehicle. If Mommy already has a car, make sure the condition of the car is very good and has enough fuel. If Mommy doesn’t have a car, Mommy can use a taxi. Keep the taxi phone number and make sure Mommy and the husband choose a good taxi service.
In addition, ask the neighbors for help. If the neighbor has a car, Mommy and her husband could ask for transport. Tell your neighbors the approximate time of the birth of the baby. This can be obtained from a routine examination by a gynecologist. Prepare the bags and daily necessities carefully to be taken to hospital. And also, select hospitals for the labor process. Do this in the final months of pregnancy.
The second is on the childbirth day. Handle the hospital administration as soon as possible so that Mommy can get the room and required treatment at a maternity hospital. It would be better if the husband seek for the information regarding the administration procedures completely in order to avoid some problems during the process later on. Ensure the husband has informed the hospital staff that Mommy wants to have Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD) for the newborn. The most important thing is the husband always ready and attentive to all conditions. |

Blinka, lilla stjärna är en science fiction-parodi där den ondskefulle universums härskare försöker stjäla alla jordmänniskors samlade kunskap för att fullkomna sin maktställning. Tre av hans hejdukar sänds till jorden, men då en av dem, Bob, konfronteras med det för rymdvarelserna okända fenomenet kärlek i form av astronomistudenten Stella, ställs planerna på ända.
Filmen spelades delvis in i tomma lokaler på Sankt Lars sjukhusområde, i vilka bland annat en rymdskeppsinteriör byggdes upp. Andra scener togs bland annat på dåvarande observatoriet, Lunds konsthall, Johan Henrik Thomanders studenthem och uppe på taket på centralblocket till Universitetssjukhuset i Lund.

The Benefits of Luxury Home Automation
Earlier, you had to manually turn off the switches and appliances that were not being used, and in many cases, you would forget to turn off the lights or leave the TV on and doze on your couch. But with automated technologies, only the appliances in use will be on, the rest can be automatically turned off.
This saves energy and in turn reduces your energy bills. All power will only be directed to what’s necessary.
If programmed and designed well, you may never have to get up and touch the switch ever again. You can control everything via an application on your smartphone and some gesture commands as well.
You can easily blend your choices with the perfect automation technology to make your whole house well automated and luxurious. With multiple sensors set up all over your house, everything from the lights to air conditioning can be automated.
You may leave for work every day in the morning at 9, every unwanted appliance can be turned off and when you return, the lights may be on already. If you go straight away to sleep, the bedroom lights and air conditioning can be turned on, and every other light and appliance in the other rooms will be turned off.
You can just walk into any room and the lights may turn on and the other room lights may be dimmed out. You can even set voice commands or gestures such as claps, snaps, etc to dim the lights or turn on and off the lights.
Luxury Home automation also comes with security features such as 24/7 surveillance which can help keep thieves away. Unlocking the door can also be via fingerprints or a retina scan which ensures that only you and your trusted people can enter your house. You can also check who is at the door before you open it. |
en | N/A | N/A | The first article in a five-part series on the dynamics of human spaceflight systems for interplanetary and deep space missions.
And he was correct. The challenges to space travel are certainly daunting, but they can be understood and predicted through the laws of nature. Therefore, they are by no means outside the reach of human ingenuity. But looking at the amount of progress our species has made in exploring space since our first attempts in the mid-20th century, one might understandably begin to question that statement. Yet the biggest problems of space exploration have never been physical challenges that we’ve been unable to solve, but rather funding and support from the general public that we’ve been unable to cultivate.
Assuming that we find a means in the future to generate such support, we might begin to think about what our first interplanetary voyages would look like. There is one thing of which we can be certain: The types of spacecraft that we use to make these trips will be vastly unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.
Exponentially Larger Space Missions Will Need to Be Tackled by Giant Space Stations
Rather than small space ships that we’ve used for launching astronauts into Earth orbit or to the Moon, these exponentially larger missions will need to be tackled by giant space stations with extremely well-thought-out systems and equipment to transport humans safely and comfortably to and from their exploration targets.
The ISS Does Not Have Anywhere near the Facilities Necessary for Interplanetary Trips
The International Space Station (ISS) carries six crew members and has a habitable volume of a little less than 13,700 cubic feet. But most of that space is allocated to airlocks, storage, science experiments and equipment, or other necessary priorities. The ISS does not provide anywhere near the kind of physical support facilities and space necessary for interplanetary trips.
This amount of space and facilities, such missions, would suggest a space station of enormous size and cost. However, some space industry pioneers, such as Bigelow Aerospace, have been researching the ability to design and launch larger spacecraft in smaller, more affordable packages.
In part II, we’ll look at the need for gravity aboard manned spacecraft, and how we might go about achieving artificial gravity in deep space.

As you quiet down inside, hold the idea in your mind, turn it round, look at it, let it breathe. What does it want to be? Who is this character? Don’t force it or second guess. Let your imagination go loose, let it play, see what happens. Write it down.
The anxiety of this stage is called Hungry Mind anxiety. This is whereand ideas running around in your head – where do I start? What is it anyway? It might be nothing. It’s a lot of work.. You start to argue with yourself about whether or not the story should be written, before you’ve even worked out what it’s about.
Appropriate Feeding (of your mind/creativity)
Follow the Work – do what the story requires of you. I spent hours at the beach with my camera whilst working on the first draft of Bluebird. (A psychological thriller set in the surfing community at Tynemouth.) I walked the streets my protagonist walks, stood in the sand and watched the surf, and noted how moods change with the light. I’m sure it’ll end up in the script somewhere.
Think by Feeling – this one’s for the intellectual types: don’t over-think everything. Keep in touch with your feelings by feeling them – laugh, cry, live. You are not feeling when you’re talking or thinking about your feelings. As Bruce Lee says in Enter the Dragon, “Don’t think, feel.”
Eat with Two Hands – dig deep into research for the work. Obsess over it, dream it, devour it. Let your story penetrate every pore, every nook and cranny of your life.
The important thing at this stage is to affirm your desire to create. Do everything in your power to support that desire. The more you undermine yourself at this stage the more likely you are to give up. And you know you’re not a quitter.

en | N/A | N/A | Teaching is a profession that belongs to nurturing kids as well as adults. This profession is one of the most respected ones in the world. A teacher is often responsible for a child’s success or demotivation. A person having good skills of teaching can lead kids towards their goala teacher is a person to whom the kids open up to after their parents. Hence, there is a bundle of responsibilities of being a teacher. Before getting any further explanation of the teaching, let us discuss the pros and cons of being a teacher.
There are various pros and cons of being a teacher, but we will focus on the most common ones. So, getting started with the pros of being a teacher first.
Here are the pros of being a teacher.
Students always try to find a best friend in the shape of their teacher. Being sincere with students and open to students able a child to open up confidential talks with their teacher. The teacher is the father of a student. He has to deal with the student to give him more confidence to speak out. A teacher is nominated when a child gets a position inside a school or board. Even if a child becomes a doctor in the future, he respects his teacher on a lower scale. Hence, the teaching field is the most respectful field among all disciplines.
In the journey of school, teachers find various events and get together, or holidays and vacations. These are the most enjoyable days for a teacher to get into joy after a boring routine. A teacher enjoys holidays more than a student. A holiday allows a teacher to spend more time with his family members. It is a great pleasure for him on the day of his vacation.
A teacher in the school finds more communication with the staff members, especially while exploring the person of the same discipline. A teacher finds more connection inside a school. He connects with the students as well as with the teaching staff. He finds new friends to exchange thoughts. The networking turns stronger and stronger day after day. Hence, it is one of the most beautiful pros of being a teacher in any discipline.
Teaching is a profession that is similar to the medical discipline that never ends up. Hence, the learning opportunity never ends for a teacher. They often find new things and have to study them to explore them in front of their students.
Here are the cons of being a teacher.
There are many kinds of students in the school, college, or university. A teacher has to deal with all types of mindset. Even if a student is weak in the studies, a teacher turns him from a dull student to the best one. The responsibilities of a teacher never end up. On the day of the examination, the teacher thinks about students who fail to attempt the exams. Failing a candidate is not an easy task for a teacher because it realizes that the student will demote for one year. Hence, deciding between unsuccessful candidates and successful candidates is not that easier for a teacher. On the other hand, many students do not talk with the teacher the way that is accepted. Hence, bearing such types of students and leading them is challenging for a teacher.
A teacher never gets what he delivers. The salary of a teacher is always lower than his hard work and struggles for a class. Money is the thing that has a prominent part in real-world survival. A teacher is a person and has a family as well. Hence, he has to earn to get food and fulfil his family’s needs. With a low salary, no one can get to the needs of family members.
Disturbance and mental stress are other pros of being a teacher. While working hard for students, the pressure built from the administration is not bearable. The rules and regulations are strict from the administration. They just set their terms that a teacher has to follow at any cost. On the other hand, if a teacher has an urgent situation and leaves for a day, he is answerable in front of the administration.
The professional requirements for a teacher never end up in a few but changes. For example, a teacher is teaching in two different schools. Both schools have disciplines, rules, and regulations that a teacher must have to follow. Discipline, duties, and regulations are not the same in both schools. A teacher has to obey both schools’ criteria. Hence, professional requirements for both schools are different from one another.
In conclusion, there are many rules and regulations are set for a teacher. A teacher has to follow all of those terms and conditions to survive in the school. On the other hand, he does a great job and struggles for excellence. All of his or her struggles are demoting because of low salary and pressure from the administration department. Money is the most prominent part of our lives in today’s world. Hence, the teacher is also a person, and he has responsibilities as well. Increasing the salary and bonus, on the other hand, increases the determination and courage of a teacher to teach effectively and efficiently. The pros and cons of being a teacher are not limited to that mentioned pros and cons above. These increases according to different situations in the schools. |

en | N/A | N/A | Cancer Fraud: People Who Fake Illness to Scam Others, Gain Sympathy, Get Rich, and Avoid Other Problems
Posted Jan 28, 2010
When I typed “cancer fraud” into Google, I quickly found out that she is no lone ranger. Looking at just the first 200 results (out of over 14 million possible), here are just a few of the characters I came across:
- <!--[if !supportLists]--> <!--[endif]-->Michael Guglielmucci, an Australian youth minister who’dvery public terminal cancer "battle" of two years (including an appearance on YouTube with an oxygen tube in his nose) admitted he was perfectly healthy.
- Howard Richman, a former vice president who faked cancer for three years in order to avoid an SEC investigation.
What’s the Motive for Fraud?
Interestingly, some of the people seemed to almost accidentally stumble upon their scheme. They experienced a medical scare, suffered from another chronic (but much less serious disease) or had even been successfully treated for cancer and somehow they sympathy they received, or the financial assistance, planted the seed that then grew. Then there were the attention-seekers, who seemed to just want to bask in the spotlight of sympathy for as long as possible.
And any of us could be a victim, especially if we’re goodhearted. For one thing, it’s easy to produce fake documentation. But, really, who would ever ask for it? How painful would it be to ask a genuine victim to prove his or her diagnosis before we offer financial or emotional assistance?
There’s certainly nothing wrong with making sure our money is going to a worthy cause. Because of the growing number of cancer fraud thieves, some experts suggest donating to a larger donation like the American Cancer Society rather than to an individual. You can make the contribution in the friend or family member’s name.
Of course, that’s not going to help the person who’s trying to whittle down her medical bills. Some hospitals will permit a family member to create an account that others can contribute to; sometimes these accounts can be used to offset medical bills for individual cancer patients. And, if you donate and later discover you’ve been a victim of cancer fraud, contact your local police; perpetrators face criminal charges.
Let’s not let the misdeeds of a few influence our generous spirit or optimistic view of human kind, though. I remember an interview I watched of a mother whose daughter helped a cast-wearing Ted Bundy carry books to his car – and lost her life for it. When asked what she thought of the fact that her daughter’s kindness had led to her death, she smiled and said, “I wouldn’t have raised her any other way.” |

en | N/A | N/A | GlaxoSmithKline's bid to tackle neglected diseases receives a muted response from the rest of the industry.
Proposals to radically change the way the drug industry approaches neglected tropical diseases have prompted intense debate within the sector.
Making plans: Andrew Witty. Credit: T. Melville/Reuters
Andrew Witty, chief executive of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), outlined the suggestions in a speech on 13 February at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. He committed GSK — the world's second-largest pharmaceutical company by sales — to sharing some of its patents to boost research into neglected diseases, and to making its drugs available more cheaply in the very poorest countries.
He also offered to open up GSK's research centre for neglected diseases at Tres Cantos in Spain to other researchers, companies and governments. The aim would be to foster a global public–private network to supplant the present fragmented research efforts on the most neglected diseases, such as sleeping sickness, visceral leishmaniasis and dengue fever.
Reactions from scientists and public-health experts have ranged from wildly enthusiastic to deeply sceptical. But it is undoubtedly a pioneering move, particularly for a firm that just a decade ago joined 38 other drug companies in suing the South African government to try to stop it making cheap anti-HIV drugs.
"That was the low-water mark for multinationals and global health," says Peter Singer, an expert in public health at the University of Toronto in Canada. "This announcement may not yet be the high-water mark, but it is incontrovertible evidence that the tide has turned. It sends a clear signal that GSK wants to be part of the solution and not part of the problem."
The most innovative aspect of GSK's proposal is the creation of a 'patent pool' for drugs and manufacturing processes related to neglected tropical diseases. Researchers and companies, including manufacturers of generic drugs, would be able to license participants' patents from the pool for free to develop new treatments for neglected diseases in the world's 50 least-developed countries (LDCs).
"A patent pool giving access to molecule libraries and information from different groups is something we have been asking for for years," says Bernard Pécoul, head of the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative based in Geneva, Switzerland. But its success depends on what companies are willing to put in, he adds. "If they put garbage in, we will get garbage out."
Although the pool would be oriented towards drug discovery, it could also provide access to promising drug candidates, existing drugs and formulation technologies for commercialization.
"It's a fantastic step forward," says Mary Moran, director of health policy at the George Institute for International Health in Sydney, Australia. Drug companies usually fight to defend their patent portfolios, she says, refusing to allow their free use for good causes such as tackling neglected diseases. As the patents in this sector have little monetary value, this amounts to "two bald men fighting over a comb", she observes wryly.
Industrial unease
But several other drug companies contacted by Nature were lukewarm about the idea. French firm Sanofi-aventis says that the proposals are "too vague" to comment on, and Swiss-based Novartis "does not consider intellectual property as an obstacle to access to medicines", according to company representatives.
In principle, Bayer in Germany is not against the idea of pooling intellectual property, says the company's spokeswoman, Denise Rennmann. But it would prefer an industry-wide approach to be agreed multilaterally, she adds — something that the World Health Organization and the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers are already discussing. Many companies highlighted their own efforts to improve access to drugs for neglected diseases (see 'Opening access').
The patent-pool proposal has also sparked controversy because it excludes GSK's HIV patents, as the company feels that there is already enough research in this area. That is hotly contested by Michelle Childs, director of policy and advocacy at Médecins Sans Frontières' Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines, who says that there is still a great need for new antiretroviral combinations and formulations for children.
However, GSK's HIV patents could yet dive into a different pool. UNITAID, an international organization that negotiates lower drug prices, hopes to launch a patent pool by the end of this year that would allow companies to license their AIDS drugs in return for royalties. Ellen 't Hoen, UNITAID's senior adviser on intellectual property, says that although no companies have yet signed up, several have expressed interest, including GSK.
There is a sound incentive for companies to join such patent pools. Countries with large populations of sick patients are increasingly likely to use their rights under TRIPS, the World Trade Organization's intellectual-property agreement, to issue compulsory licences, allowing them to produce generic copies of patented drugs at low royalties.
Western drug companies fret that such licences could limit their opportunities in what they see as their biggest future growth markets: the well-off elites in emerging economies such as India, China or Brazil. Preserving these markets may explain why GSK has limited its proposals to the LDCs, says Brook Baker, an expert on health and human rights at Northeastern University in Boston.
Witty also announced that GSK would cut the prices of all its medicines in the LDCs to no more than 25% of their prices in the richest countries. But the focus on the LDCs means that these cuts, and the patent pool, will not benefit the vast number of poverty-stricken people living in middle-income countries, says Baker. According to the World Bank, more people live on less than $2 per day in India than in all of sub-Saharan Africa.
Despite the cuts, GSK's drugs will still be unaffordable to most poor people, he adds. And if generic producers can only use the patent pool to produce drugs for the LDCs, they will not be able to get the economies of scale they need to sell drugs cheaply enough.
"When Glaxo and others announced at the start of the decade that they would cut the cost of HIV drugs by 70%, initially we thought 'this is a big deal'," says Childs. "But they were still unaffordable. It was only when generic manufactures brought prices down 99% that we saw wide access to drugs."

Thanks a ton Mr Venema!
Could you comment at all on whether or not performance is improved in any ways in V3?
I got depressed when I first read that OrbX would charge an undefined amount to port existing FSX/P3Dv2 sceneries to P3Dv3. Well, I got the same feeling in the past when MS launched FS9 and then FSX. The same happened to VHS/DVD/Blu-ray, or CC/CD/MP3, or Win3.1/Win95/Win98/WinXP/WinVista/Win7/…
IMHO, I think it's not unfair to charge for it given the amount of changes developers will have to do. Other developers do the same when they upgrade an existing product. Others charge separately for each platform. OrbX went beyond that, hence the triple installers. What other developers have done that? |

Human motion appears effortless but is difficult to implement in a robot. For example, a human baby can usually reach and grab a randomly placed object by the age of nine months and can do so with little apparent difficulty and with ordinary help from its parents. Training a robot to do the same requires more effort.
The reach-and-grab behavior is an example of a general problem of planning robotic motion. Robotic motion may be described by a trajectory in the robot's state space. Unfortunately, the high dimensionality of the robot's state space limits real-time ab initio calculations of the trajectory to only the most trivial and simplest behaviors. For example, a 7 degree-of-freedom (DoF) arm mated to a 12 DoF hand along with the appropriate sensors can produce a state vector having a dimensionality of over 100.
One method of training a robot is by teleoperation as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,697,707 issued Feb. 24, 2004 to Peteeters describes a training method wherein a human teleoperates a robot through a specific task while the robot records its state throughout the task. The task is repeated several times. The repeated tasks produce similar trajectories in the robot's state space and can be normalized and averaged to create an exemplar trajectory or behavior. Behaviors may be sequentially linked with other behaviors to accomplish different tasks.
The averaging of the repeated task trajectories to form an exemplar trajectory appears to work because the operator executes the same motion during each repeated task such that the deviations between each repeated task is small. Furthermore, in a reach-and-grab task, the end point location and orientation of the hand in each repeated task is the same. If a different end point location and orientation is desired, a new training session is usually required to create an exemplar trajectory with the new end point location and orientation. Training a robot for every possible end point location and orientation is prohibitively time consuming and expensivecreating new trajectories from combinations of previously created, or learned, behaviorsrobotic platform such as that described in Ambrose, R. O.n, M. Diftler, C. Lovchik, D. Magruder, F. Rehnmark, “Robonaut: NASA's space humanoid”, IEEE Intelligent Systems, July-August, however, that specific robotic platform and may be implemented on other robotic platformobonaut was developed by the Dexterous Robotics Laboratory (DRL) o Engineering Directorate. In size, the robot is comparable to an astronaut in an EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity) suit. Each seven degree of freedom (DoF) Robonaut arm is approximately the size of a human arm, with similar strength and reach but with a greater range of motion. Each arm mates with a dexterous end-effector, a 12-DoF hand, to produce a 19-DoF upper extremity. The robot has manual dexterity sufficient to perform a wide variety of tasks requiring the intricate manipulation of tools and other objects.
Robonaut is physically capable of autonomous operation but may be controlled directly by a person via teleoperation. In teleoperation mode, every motion made by Robonaut reflects a similar motion made by the operator, who perceives the robot's workspace through full-immersion virtual reality. The operator wears a helmet that enables her or him to see through the robot's stereo camera head and hear through the robot's binaural microphones. Sensors in gloves worn by the operator determine Robonaut's finger positions. Six-axis Polhemus sensors on the helmet and gloves determine the robot's arm and head positions. The operator guides the robot using only vision. The robot's haptic sensors do not transmit touch sensations to the operator nor do the force sensors project forces onto the operator's gloves.
Each 7-DoF arm is commanded independently by specifying the 6D Cartesian pose (position and orientation) of its hand's point-of-reference (PoR). The PoR is located on the back of the hand so that it corresponds to the location of Polhemus sensor on the corresponding teleoperator glove. Usually the seventh DoF is computed by an inverse kinematics (IK) algorithm that minimizes joint velocities. The operator can, by specifying an angle, command the elbow orbit position if the IK algorithm computes one that is problematic for the desired motion in the current environment. The elbow position is specified by the angle between the plane formed by the shoulder, elbow, and wrist and the vertical plane of right-left symmetry of the robot.
Robonaut's arm-hand systems have a high bandwidth dynamic response (the servo control loop operates at 50 Hz) that enables it to move quickly, if necessary, under autonomous operation. During teleoperation, however, the response of the robot is slowed to make it less susceptible to jitter in the arms of the teleoperator and to make it safe for operation around people, unprotected either on the ground or in pressurized EVA suits in space. The slowdown is, effectively, to a 10 Hz loop with the teleoperator. The purposeful limitation of maximum joint velocity affects not only the motion analysis described below but also the superposition of learned behaviors, especially with respect to the time-warping of component behaviors described below.
Robonaut has many sensors, including a color, stereo camera platform embedded in a head mounted on a 3-DoF neck, and binaural microphones located on opposite sides of the head, parallel to the stereo camera baseline. The two hand/wrist modules contain 84 sensors for feedback and control, 60 of which are analog and require signal conditioning and digitization. Each DoF has a motor position sensor, a joint force sensor, and a joint absolute position sensor. The two arm modules contain 90 sensors, 80 of which are analog. Each actuator contains a motor incremental position sensor, redundant joint torque sensors, redundant joint absolute position sensors, and four temperature sensors distributed throughout the joint. Each arm employs relative optical encoders in five of its joints. The encoders reside on the motor side of the gear train and have resolutions ranging between 200 and 1000 counts per degree of arm motion. The two wrist joints employ resolvers integrated into the motor assemblies.
The Robonaut stereo vision system uses object shape to determine the six-axis pose of well-defined objects, such as wrenches and tables, as well as variable-form structures, such a human limbs. The robot's field-of-view (FoV) is preprocessed using patch correlation on Laplacian-of-Gaussian (LoG) filtered image pairs to generate 3D range maps as well as binary, 2D range maps taken over a series of range intervals. Initially, four DoFs of a known object are estimated roughly through an efficient matching of large sets of 2D silhouette templates against the 2D range maps. This estimate is refined to give a more precise pose estimate in all six DoFs. The strongest silhouette matches are used to seed a process, which matches 3D sets of contour templates against 3D range maps. Although2D, a 3D process is necessary for the robot to handle and manipulate objects. A high level of precision is obtained in real time because most of the environment is filtered out by the much faster 2D silhouette matching process.
After low-pass filtering the outputs with a time constant of about 0.2 seconds (FIR averaging), the vision system is accurate to within 0.003 meters and 2.0 degrees in the workspace of the robot. This is as measured relative to an object with a calibrated pose. The general accuracy of the system in deployment is within about 0.015 meters and 5 degrees. Currently, most estimation error is caused by the correlation mismatches on surfaces that are metallic (reflective) or low in texture (e.g., a black plastic drill handle). The system outputs the poses of recognized objects within its FoV at a rate of about 7 Hz. The overall latency through the system (photons hitting lens to vision system Ethernet output) is about 0.22 seconds. Latency from vision output to robot actuation is approximately 0.38 seconds.
Although the teleoperator may be unaware of most of it, all sensory data is available in real time for the robot's computers to analyze. The sensory data recorded during teleoperation may be processed by the robot to create, or learn, behaviors performed via teleoperation. The learned behaviors may be used by Robonaut in autonomous operations. Table 1 lists the data signals recorded during teleoperation. The signals are recorded at a nominal rate of 50 Hz but some signals, such as those produced by vision, are recorded at slower rates.
Signals Recorded From Robonaut.
Teaching a robot a task includes a training phase where the robot is repeatedly teleoperated through the task by a remote operator. During teleoperation, the robot's sensor data is recorded as a vector time series for later analysis by the robot. After the robot has completed the training phase, a learning phase is initiated in the robot where the robot segments the time series into episodes, normalizes each episode with the corresponding episode from the other repeated tasks, and creates an exemplar episode, or behavior, from the average of the normalized episodes.
For purposes of illustration, teaching a robot to perform a reach-and-grab task is now describedask. An operator teleoperates the robot to reach forward to a wrench affixed to a frame, grasp the wrench, hold it briefly, release it, and withdraw the arm. The task is repeated at least once to produce at least two vector time series, herein referred to as trials, for the task. In a preferred embodiment, the task is repeated four times to produce five trials for the task.
Each vector time series is partitioned into SMC episodes. For the reach and grab task, each trial is partitioned into five SMC episodes corresponding to reach, grasp, hold, release, and withdraw. Each SMC episode is demarcated by an SMC event. The SMC event is determined based on a sum, z, of the mean-squared velocity (MSV) of the joint angles of the robot's joints as described in Fod, A., M. J. Matari{umlaut over (c)}, and O. C. Jenkins, “A”, Autonomous Robots, vol. 12 no. 1, pp. 39-54, January 2002an SMC event defines the beginning or end of a significant acceleration or deceleration in the arm-hand system. The beginning of a MSV peak occurs at time, t0, if z(t0) is greater than or equal to a threshold value, c1, and z(t0−1) is less than c2, and at some time, t1>t0, z(t1) is greater than a second threshold value, c2. Similarly, the end of a MSV peak occurs at time, t2, if z(t2) is less than or equal to c1 and z(t2−1) is greater than c1 and at some time, t1 less than t2, z(t1) is greater than c2. The threshold values, c1 and c2, may be empirically determined from the instantaneous MSV. In a preferred embodiment, the value of c2 may be selected to partition the time series into the expected number of episodes, which in the example is five. The first threshold value, c1, may be selected as the fifth percentile of a sampled distribution of measured accelerations.
FIG. 1 is a plot showing the arm and joint positions as a function of time during a reach-and-grab task trial. In FIG. 1, the vertical lines indicate SMC events that partition the trial into five episodes corresponding to reach, grab, hold, release, and withdraw. Each episode is bounded by an SMC event. FIG. 2 is a plot of the sum of the instantaneous MSV2, the vertical lines indicate SMC events. Also shown in FIG. 2, are two horizontal lines indicating the first (c) and second (15c) threshold values used to determine SMC events.
Each SMC episode is time-warped by resampling the episode time series such that the duration of the resampled time series is equal to the average duration of the corresponding trial episodes. For example, the average duration of all the trials may be 150 samples in duration. Each trial is resampled such that the resampled trials each have a duration of 150.
An exemplar episode, herein referred to as a behavior, is created by point-wise linear averaging the five time-warped episodes. It is believed that averaging the time-warped episodes enhances those characteristics of the sensory and motor signals that are similar in the trials while diminishing those that are not. Another method for creating the behavior may use a median value of the episode trials when, for example, a signal exhibits nonlinear behavior with respect to time, such as, for example, when a motor is turned on or off.
Once the robot has created a behavior for each episode in the task, the behaviors are stored in the memory of the robot and can be retrieved and sequentially executed autonomously to perform the same task. If, however, the wrench is placed in a different location, the robot will fail to grasp the wrench in the new location because the robot has only learned to grasp the wrench at the original location. In some embodiments, the trajectory of the robot is adjusted toward the new grasp location while the robot is executing the learned behaviors and is herein referred to as the Auto Grasp method. While satisfactory placement accuracy of the hand may be obtained when the new location is close to the original location, the inventor has discovered that task success decreases quickly as the distance between the original and new locations increases. Alternatively, the robot may be trained to grasp at all possible locations. This alternative, however, is impractical due to the excessive training time and the unlikelihood of enumerating all possible grasp locations.
In some embodiments, the robot is trained to reach-and-grasp at several different locations and the learned behaviors are interpolated to determine a trajectory to a new location, referred herein as the Linear Grasp method. For example, a robot may be trained to reach-and-grab a wrench located at eight different locations that define a polyhedral volume. The robot may create a new trajectory to a location within the polyhedral volume by linearly interpolating the eight learned behaviors according to the end locations of the eight learned behaviors. Experiments conducted on Robonaut indicate that the Linear Grasp method exhibits a higher success rate at the reach-and-grab task than the Auto Grasp method.
In a preferred embodiment, a robotic trajectory is created using an interpolation method referred to as Verbs and adverbs (VaV). The VaV method as applied to computer graphics animation is described Rose, C., M. Cohen, and B. Bodenheimer, “nember 1998, incorporated herein by reference.
In the context of planning or creating robotic trajectories, a verb is a state-space trajectory of a behavior and is designated by mi(t) where the subscript i represents the i-th behavior and ranges from 1 to Ne, where Ne is the number of behaviors. The state-space trajectory has a dimension of Ns+1 where Ns is the dimension of the robot's sensory-motor state-space and the 1 accounts for the time dimension. Similarly, an adverb is the 3D location of the target object and is designated by a Na-dimensional vector, p. In the context of robotic trajectories, the adverb of a trajectory is referred to herein as a target. The targets corresponding to the Ne behaviors are indicated by pi, where the subscript i represents the target location of i-th behavior and ranges from 1 to Ne. Since a target represents a physical location, the target is not limited to parameterizing a single verb but may be used to parameterize more than one verb. For example, a reach-and-grab operation may include the verbs reach, grasp, hold, release, and withdraw. Each of the verbs may be parameterized by the same target corresponding to the target location of the operation.
The VaV interpolation method may be viewed as projecting the motion exemplars at each time, t, onto a Na+1-dimensional linear subspace of the sensory-motor state-space. The subspace is the range of a matrix, A(t), that is the least-mean-square (LMS) approximation of a mapping function, Φ, that maps pi to mi. The projection through A(t) is likely to be inaccurate that may be due, in part, to the nonlinearity of Φ and that Na<<Ns. The inventor has discovered that the inaccuracy of A(t) is such that the exemplar targets usually are not mapped to their corresponding verbs (exemplar motion trajectories) by A(t) alone.
In equation 1, A(t) represents the LMS solution for the Ne exemplar trajectories, r(p) represents the RBF vector operating on the adverb, p, and may be viewed as a correction term to the LMS solution. The matrix, QT(t), represents weights applied to each RBF correction term. As used herein, a superscript T indicates a transpose of a matrix and a superscript −1 indicates an inverse of a matrix.
The inventor has discovered that a trajectory, m(t), created using only the LMS solution (1) does not, in many situations, move the robot hand to the target location.1 adds a correction to the LMS solution such that the exemplar targets map to their respective verb.
The LMS solution, A(t), and the RBF weights, QT(t), are both functions of time but are based on the known exemplar state information. Therefore, A(t) and QT(t) may be generated before the verb is executed by the robot or may be generated during verb execution but prior to time tset of behaviors and their associated targets are retrieved from storage memory based on the desired task in step 310. In a preferred embodiment, the behaviors are created via teleoperation. The LMS solution and RBF weights are generated in steps 320 and 330, respectively, based on the retrieved behaviors and their associated targets. The order of steps 320 and 330 is not critical and may be done in reverse order. In step 340, a target associated with the desired task is retrieved or updated and r(p) is calculated. In step 350, the sensory motor state vector is calculated based on A(t), QT(t), and the adverb. In step 360, the calculated trajectory is implemented by controlling the actuators and motors of the robot to match their respective values in the calculated state vector. A determination is made on whether the desired task has been completed in step 370. If the task is has not finished, the process jumps to step 340 to repeat the loop 340-350-360-370 until the task is finished.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the robot performs the task as the state vector is calculated. This has the advantage of enabling the robot to “track” a moving target adverb and/or more precisely locate the target as the task is being performed. In other embodiments, the entire task may be calculated before commencing the task when the task has a static target.

The Speechless: Bernardo doesn't talk at all. He only communicates by writing in his book.
The Song Remains the Same: The Russian dub retains the English opening theme.
Talking with Signs: Bernardo does something similar. He communicates by writing in his book and showing the other characters his paper.
Title Theme Tune: They say Zorro's name quite a bit in the opening and explain who he is.
The Unmasking: Several characters attempt to find and expose Zorro's secret identity. They even call it "unmasking" the "Masked Marauder".
Voiceover Translation: The Russian dub normally averts this, but it plays it straight for the episode "The Ice Monster Cometh" which keeps faint English dialogue in the background.
The Western: Takes place in old Spanish California and features elements from this setting. |
en | N/A | N/A | Turning 30 with altitude!– San Pedro de Atacama, Chile | Chris and Sarah have run away!
← Sun, sea, sand, stars and PISCO!
I'm officially bored of flamingos!
Turning 30 with altitude!
So yes, a certain someone was going to be turning 30 during our time in San Pedro de Atacama and so I was determined to have a great time there!
Arrival to San Pedro was interesting in itself. After an overnight bus from La Serena to Calama we had to change for another bus from there to San Pedro where the Atacama desert awaited us. We were on a trusty Tur Bus (Chile's largest coach service) and they proved their worth when the coach stopped close to the city to allow us all to take pictures of the beautiful landscape. Somehow we couldn't imagine National Express offering the same service!
Our hostel was nice and our friendly Brazilian room-mate helped to save us some time by telling us all about the research that he had done into tours from San Pedro to Uyuni in Bolivia across the national park and salt flats. We knew that we wanted to do this trip when we left Chile and so were happy to take him up on his recommendation of using Cordillera when he mentioned that they haven't had any accidents in 13 years of operating, which sounded perfect after hearing bad stories of drivers getting drunk and having accidents!
That evening we headed into town to have a birthday meal and party hard. We went to a lovely restaurant and I had Cannelloni with Thai green curry inside which was a slightly strange combination, but tasty none-the-less and it was made even tastier when Sarah paid the bill!After dinner we decided to move on and find somewhere else to continue the party, but finding nowhere that looked as good, returned to the same place and took up a new position sitting at the bar. Luckily for me the birthday paradox (Alex Bellos' excellent Alex's Adventures in Numberland has an explanation of this on pages 325-328) held true and there was someone else with the same birthday as me in the bar. This became apparent when the DJ played Feliz Cumpleanos and the lucky birthday person was given a free shot!Not wanting to be left out we quickly let them know that it was my birthday too and I was soon confronted with my own, free, flaming tequila shot!I quickly blew it out and saw it away and when the bar man turned back with a straw for me he was astonished to see the shot already gone and was concerned that I may have burnt myself. He duly shook my hand at such a manly display and then set about making us some free shot glass sized mojito's. Later on I saw a local drinking one of the shots that I had had and it turned out that the local way was to leave it flaming and drink it through a straw. Wanting to prove that I could also handle that arrangement I ordered another and did it the San Pedro way. By this time I was plenty merry and not being able to find a club to go tohome, but not before having a photo taken with the bar staff who had become our new friends!
Next day we were able to treat ourselves to a lie in because the only plans was an afternoon trip to the Valley of the Moon which sounded amazing after we had spoken to another English couple in our hostel (Becca and James) who had done it the previous day and who incidentally ended up being on our tour from San Pedro to Uyuni!
Next day was another early start as it was time to move on out of Chile and into Bolivia with a three day jeep tour (more of which you will hear in the next blog)!We had really enjoyed our time in Chile and San Pedro de Atacama had been a great place to round off our time there and also a great place to celebrate turning 30 – it will certainly be something that I remember for a long time! |

en | N/A | N/A | Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has signed an order for the National Guard to come to Ferguson.
The executive order comeof the St. Louis suburb, action that police say was necessary because of shooting, looting and vandalism.
Enough is enough… Before anybody else gets hurt. you want to protest, please feel free. But the looting, vandalism, and rioting has lost all sympathy for the family of this boy. And having the father walking around with a t-shirt “No Justice – No Peace” will only further deteriorate any sympathy.
How many peoples businesses, jobs, and property has been lost because of these actions?
Most of the looting, vandalism and rioting are from white anarchist groups from out of the state, and not associated with the protesters supporting the family. Some of these protesters have actually tried to stop the violence from happening.
And speak for yourself, Re: sympathy for the family. The preliminary autopsy report has been released,That’s an execution, and I can’t imagine the pain his parents are going through at this point. All they want is to see that crooked cop Darren Wilson be held accountable, and all that’s been happening is a whole bunch of CYA by his crooked cop friends at the FPD. If the roles had been reversed, there would be no doubt that Brown would be locked up right now and a swift indictment against him.
There was a person on CNN this morning, that was reviewing the initial autopsy. (Cant remember his name) But in regards to the head shots, based upon what he saw, it would have happened as Michael may have been bending over. Possibly from pain from the other wounds.
As you say “EXECUTION”, I dont buy it. And it is clear by your postings, that you have already Judged this officer to be a “Crooked Cop” without any other facts or details.
As you say “EXECUTION”, I dont buy it.
What would you call the killing of an unarmed boy from six shots, including two to the head? Murder is putting it lightly.
k any officer, especially in New York City. They are trained to fire until a threat is neutralized. Whether or not there was a legitimate threat, remains to be seen.
Seriously, the NYPD? Come on. They kicked a few teeth of mine out once.
I am using NYPD as a point of reference because so many times when a police shooting happens. The police empty their magazines resulting in a mass volume of bullets.
As per training.
I know. They are trained to do so.
Police nationwide need to be retrained and not in Israel.
If that training includes how to neutralize an approaching threat with a single bullet, I’m good with that.
yeah as long it is not your unarmed mother or sister or brother or father.
Whooooppppssss, what did you do ??
What needs to change? Firing until the threat is neutralized?
I’m confused. Can you please define what a “white anarchist group” is?
Ah. That’s what I thought.
Ferguson should put better lighting on their streets. The looters I saw didn’t look like that at all.
I watched the live stream last night and the night before. Last night, a cop stuck a gun in the camera operator’s face and threatened him. Chris Hayes was threatened with tear gas. There’s an area where the press are to remain or face arrest for breaking curfew themselves. This is not the America I know.
I want the violence to stop, too. Please relay that to the Ferguson police department because they’ve instigated this entire scenario.
When the protests turns violent each night. What do you want them to do. Ask everybody to sit down in a big circle and sing Kumbaya ??
Obviously you have a very fluid and dangerous situation, and neither side is helping matters
That is what is called a straw man. No one here is saying the police should take it lying down. But how is it justifiable that the Officer Wilson demonstrators have nothing but police on bikes policing them, but the Brown protesters have the Ferguson military force on them?
neither side is helping matters.
One side is protesting unarmed with their hands up, the other side is exacerbating things, and there’s a third party from out of state taking advantage of this mess by being violent and looting.
The only thing I have seen about the demonstrators for Officer wilson, was about 125 people, 12 miles away. Daylight, and from what I have seen on social media, there was not a whole lot of threatened violence. I also admit, i have not seen a whole lot. so I will look further into it.
When the Wilson protesters start throwing bricks and molotov cocktails at the police, the bicycles will be replaced.
As if bicycles are not dangerous weapons. Need I remind you of how one destroyed my face when I first arrived in Virginia?
I was chatting with my Conservative brother about this. He’s disheartened about the shooting but he really detests the militarization of the police force who he believes is escalating the violence.
He believes that both sides need to come together on this issue. I can’t promise I’d be civilized about it.
When looters targeted stores, protesters blocked the entrance and stood guard while the police were busy putting on their gas masks.
Militarisation of the police is a long standing argument for both sides. In so many case civilians. if you investigate what happened up in Boston right after the bombing. Sadly, it is very apparent.
Agreed. Boston is another example.
I am also uncomfortable with the increasing use of military style technology by local police departments. One factor that may be fueling this trend is that employers are increasingly expecSuppose a police chief is offered high-tech body armor, rifles, and armored personal carriers, and they decline to accept them or decline to use them every time that officers are at elevated risk. If an “unprotected” officer is harmed or killed, they or the police union could accuse the police chief or the municipal leaders officers. Different police chiefs will make different decisions about what is appropriate. But those who provide their officers with the least amount of protection are probably at the greatest risk of civil and/or criminal lawsuits for negligence. So it’s not surprising that the trend has been toward increasing use of this technology.
I want them to arrest Darren Wilson. Is that too much to ask?
yes, it is. Until there is an official release of findings of wrong doing. And Criminal charges are filed.
From what I’ve gathered, various Tweets and all, a majority of these violent looters are a part of white anarchist groups not associated with the Michael Brown protesters. All of this would at least subside with an indictment of Officer Darren Wilson and his prompt arrest, and that isn’t happening because the FPD care more about keeping one of theirs clean as opposed to protecting and serving.
What is i his other hand?
He’s filming, but I can’t tell in what direction.
Calling in the National Guard isn’t going to help a lot unless they have Darren Wilson in jail. Justice is not being served and that is what is aggravating the situation. Arrest Darren Wilson or things are going to keep getting worse and will start to spread. It is tim Trying to force a situation to be a certain way is not going to work. It is what it is. It is time to see the obvious and do what is right.
under what context are you going to arrest him and throw him in jail? |
en | N/A | N/A | see the recent Press Herald poll showing the governor beating Mike head-to-head.
Cynthia: The odds of Eliot Cutler winning the election are about as good as our bringing Jim Longley back from the dead. And the poll you cite is obviously a statistical outlier: the undisputed trend shows Michaud and LePage in a dead heat, with Cutler far behind.
Anyway, the governor’s mandate begins with him “cooling down,” which even a Frenchman can do. I’ve pointed it out before, but most Mainers agree with the governor’s policy goals; they just don’t like his style.
Cynthia: We are at the point, my friend, when good citizens must take a hit or two of smelling salts and march into the voting booth.

A modification may result in a lower interest rate. An extended payback period, and in some cases a portion of the forgiven debt. A loan forbearance is sometimes another option; this is when your lender allows you to skip payments without penalty, or make partial payments, while you go through a temporary financial hardship. A specialized repayment plan may also be worked out; on a repayment plan you pay extra money every month until you catch up on your past-due balance.

It is not realistic to expect an all of your debt to be forgiven nor is it realistic to expect a one-sided deal to be worked out.

And with the huge 32 bite software base it seems very logical to see as now dual core and later quadruple core CPU and even more .
If you analize after the PENTIUM nothing has dramatically changed besides the speed .Which can't be accelerated forever .so 32 or 64 bits is no longuer important as is the integration of multicore CPUs cheers 16th June 2006, 23:25 #6 safwatonline Advanced Member level 4

en | N/A | N/A | And yet you are given the fruit of the spirit, forgiving tolerance, thus we know it is possible that you can learn forgiveness, that you can practice forgiving tolerance. Not only that you can practice forgiving tolerance, but that forgiving tolerance can become your very nature, and when you encounter your fellow human beings who would give you offense, you can see with the eyes of the Father. Now how is this attained?What, after all, is forgiveness?
In recognizing the Father's viewpoint, in appreciating that from His point of view all is human error, you can look then, impersonally, at the situation in terms of human error. Who has erred and for what reason?How have you been damaged by the error?What is your responsibility in the error?In the damage?
Forgive me for rambling. I have missed you. Those of you who did not attend the conference, be assured we had a wonderful time, we are glad to be home, and we are glad to include you in our embrace. Dear pupils, how are you?Have you questions for discussion this evening?
Leah: Let me give a far-fetched example. Suppose someone came over to your house and swept your walk after you swept it and that irritated you. Now, that's not really that offensive, it's just something which you state to a person you really don't want them to do anymore, and they continue to do it. My question is, is there sto do it?Or should you allow something because you want to be tolerant, because it seems the lesson is about "not putting up with."
TOMAS: Have you studied their motives?Have you tried to understand your brother?For you are aware of the analogy, the picture in the Urantia Book that describes the man, the primitive man, with his club upraised...
Leah: What if there is nothing to forgive?
Hester: I have to ask Tomas, how does one go about investigating the background of someone who is only a neighbor whom you really don't know and have difficulty approaching because they don't want to be approached?
Beatrix: I remember when I was at that conference and we talked about cosmic consciousness and this was -- I can't believe how much we let people keep doing what they want!-- and she gave an example. Now, maybe it's a different slant on it. Maybe it's something that doesn't have so much to do with forgiving, but just a boundary, and I think when it interferes with your self, your respect of yourself, like your value of yourself, that then you were permitted . .. that you don't have to be rude. Is that kind of what you're -- because you're . .. It's not that you're angry, it's that they're going past the line that becomes abusive in a real slight way. Was that an actual example that you gave?
Student: You're really talking about your integrity. If you've already done something and somebody does it, which is in some way, I'm picking up, a disrespect....
Leah: I also want to put this in because I also had an incident at the conference where I felt that I did something right. I really wasn't conscious of what I had done until that person told me that what I had done to them was entirely offensive, and I was so taken aback by this, that I just couldn't believe it!
This is not to say that any of us do it perfectly, but we are trying to ripen the fruit through the spirit. As always, the practice of Stillness brings us back to a closer understanding of our failing to be tolerant and forgiving. Always there is a reflection on the self of how I could have done it better. How could I have shown more tact and tolerance?How can I reach my brother, my sister, more affably, more lovingly?How can we develop understanding between us and not allow the misunderstandings to damage the relationship?
R, even as you sit in Stillness and seek forgiveness for your misguided feelings. Why, indeed, are you offended?How is it that your brother or sister offended you even when they did not intend to?Because you interpreted it in some way that was unsatisfactory to you!
TOMAS: Your mind enjoys working harmoniously with Infinite Mind, absolutely!It is the animal mind that balks, and once you and your Thought Adjuster act as an animal trainer and get that cat to "heel! |

Has anyone recently had call control cease functioning? Previously, when connecting to multiple codecs (SX10, SX20, SX80), we could control the codec via proximity. At some point in the last few weeks, this has changed and we no longer have any phone control options in the app (content sharing still works). We have observed this on the following codecs:
SX10 (CE8)
Mneergaa, thank you for the response. This is primarily using the iOS app. I need to get an Android device to test with as well.
ce8.2.1.e9daf06
Could you give us the support id of the ios client?
If you have access to get logs from the video system that could also be helpful. Logs can be downloaded from admin web interface. You can email it to [email protected]
This sitting in Edinburgh, connected to Pompeii, with content shared.
This is connected to the Edinburgh room using Proximity on the iPad. It takes a while for content to show up, but while waiting, this is what we see. Again, this was this morning (August 5th, 8:00AM Eastern)
It is hard to know what's going on here. I still can't find any signs of connection to any codec in the logs from that support id.
I guess it could happen that the reporting to the logging server fails though.
Do you have the same behaviour on another iphone or ipad? Is it possible to get the support-id from another iphone/ipad?
Can you get access to the logs the CE or TC systems? If you could send us those after having connected an ios device and tried content sharing and call control, that could be very useful.
On TC 7.3.6 systems this is the currently expected behaviour. Proximity is an experimental feature in TC 7.3 and not supported.
But for CE8 both content share and call control should work. So we are mainly interested in the logs from a CE system, if you can get them.
On CE8 there is a config to enable/disable services like call control and content sharing.
From web admin interface go to Configuration -> System Configuration -> Proximity to find Services CallControl.
Thank you for the response. I have confirmed that it is enabled
on the CE8 device(s). </s> Hi, all

en | N/A | N/A | This is a very common bootleg from the first run of The Mix tour, though less so of this original pressing. The "Dynamo Deutschland" one, though the same recording, cuts off at the end of each track, preventing from proper transitions or fade outs. This initial release restores those, I'm surprised that this recording hasn't passed through Dime from the looks of it, considering the many other popular bootlegs that have shown up.
sounding like it came straight from the speakers, since it captures everything that is being played. However, there will be cases of "audience overload,"where the crowd will be heard clearly at certain points (Radioactivity, in particular, has a person reciting the intro at the beginning of it). Also, it sounds a bit flat, though that doesn't prevent any details from jumping out in critical listening.
Despite any issues, this is a recording that needs to be listened to if you're a Kraftwerk fan, due to an amazing performance. It's the one show that I would actually listen to all the way, since all tracks were performed well, with very little to no nitpicks that would only have made me listen to only parts of other shows. This is certainly better than their most recent shows. |

In addition to this important function, many of the canonical signaling members have also been shown to be regulated during mitosis. Importantly, Hippo pathway components are frequently dysregulated in cancers and have attracted attention as possible targets for improved cancer therapeutics. Further exploration of Hippo-YAP (yes-associated protein) signaling has revealed new regulators and effectors outside the canonical signaling network and has revealed a larger non-canonical network of signaling proteins in which canonical Hippo pathway components crosstalk with important cellular homeostasis and apoptosis signaling pathways.

en | N/A | N/A | ITEX Corporation Acquires Intagio ... Adds 2,000 Members
ITEX Corporation (OTCBB: ITEX) hasace operated by Intagio Corporation of San Francisco (CA). The transaction increases ITEX�s business member base to 24,000 member businesses.
Beginning August 1, more than 2,000 members of the Intagio Trading Network will migrate to the ITEX trading community and payment systems platform. The core markets acquired are San Francisco, Chicago, Cleveland, two suburbs near Hartford (CT), New York City, central New Jersey, eastern Massachusetts, and Wisconsin.
These former Intagio markets will continue to be serviced by the nine employees who have managed their member base, and will be offered employment with ITEX.
ITEX will own and operate the former Intagio operations until such time it is deemed beneficial to sell it to one or more franchisees. Following the transaction, Intagio will direct its resources toward its media planning and placement, and online marketing of luxury hotel business units.
�We are aggressively pursuing revenue growth and the expansion of our member base,� said ITEX Chairman and CEO Steven White. �We achieve both objectives and further extend our leadership position in the cashless transaction industry. The additional business members and markets in our trading community place us in a stronger position to expand revenue and profits by offering more content and transaction opportunities to our members. This acquisition will provide added value for members, the franchise network and for our shareholders.�
�In addition, the newly acquired corporate-owned and operated offices provide a valuable opportunity to test new solutions and marketing techniques that are currently being explored,� White continued. �While seeking to increase member registrations and revenue, we want to make certain that our new initiatives are successful before we launch systems to the entire franchise network.�
The purchase price of approximately $3.15 million includes the following:
� $2 million down payment
� Up to a $1.15 million note financed by the seller at 8% APR for 2 years (up to $150,000 of the note will be determined based on current receivables as of July 31, 2007)
� Assumed certain liabilities not to exceed $30,000
� Maximum earn-out up to $150,000 for one year, beginning August 1, 2008, based on certain performance requirements
The acquired assets include the following:
� Contracts between Intagio and specified clients, including the client relationships
� Historical transactional data and associated accounts
� Accounts receivable
ITEX utilized existing cash plus approximately $350,000 of its $1.0 million credit line with U.S. Bank to fund the down payment.

Generally, NHSBT students are accepted into the programme on the basis of the recommendation of (a) their line manager and (b) NHS/ NHSBT training officer. Informal interviews are held at the University prior to acceptance and to confirm the selection.
As this Foundation Degree is aimed mainly at experienced members of NHS and NHSBT staff, formal academic qualifications are not always a requirement for entry. Some applicants may, therefore, enter the programme on the recommendation of their line manager, who will provide a profile of work-based skills and knowledge that may include academic qualifications. Evidence of successful completion of NHS/NHSBT training courses and CPD activities will be an advantage. Applicants under the age of 21 years may be expected to have more formal academic qualifications, such as A-level sciences or GNVQ at the appropriate level.

en | N/A | N/A | I'm looking at my options for exploring Nassau since I'm coming in the morning of the cruise. I love exploring new ships, but I'd hate to waste a whole day in Nassau if it's available. Hopefully someone who was on this or the next AOS sailing can answer. My questions: - Can you disembark after checking-in and entering the ship in Nassau on embarkation day to explore the island?If Yes, - What time do you need to be back on board?Regardless, - Luggage is, dropped off/taken to the ship, at check-in (British Colonial hotel)?- Are you required to immediately board after check-in?

In Cozumel there are dogs at the end of the pier sniffing for food and there are baskets full of various ship foods they've confiscated. Mostly bananas...
This seems like the fastest path back to service and how they can book families under current guidance. Test cruises with the extra protocols will cause restart delays. At this point it's almost a choice of cruise vaccinated or wait until fall when the current CSO expires to sail. I foresee the CDC denying 1 or 2 "test" voyages that are run before gaining approval, and they've got to do it for EVERY ship. ?
CDC could've made it so much easier on the family oriented lines by stating it differently. What percentage of passengers on cruises are under 12?
I always spend a lot of time planning ahead for vacations. It's killing me to have to wait until the last minute to do all the normal things I would've done by now, check-in, tags, transport, OBP, excursions, etc. ?
I see they pushed it out past their anticipated guidance update at the end of this week. Maybe CDC is hoping Florida will agree to drop it after the new guidance is released and digested by the cruise lines. ? |

en | N/A | N/A | A police officer busts someone for smoking weed in public, possession, or some other “minor” marijuana offense. Then the cop goes home, pours himself a drink — and rolls a big fatty before settling in for the night.
That certainly wouldn’t seem fair. To be honest, though, most police departments don’t view the issue in terms of fairness. They’re more concerned about two other issues: federal law and safety.
It has, but only very, very slightly.
Here’s where things stand for those in blue who want to smoke the green.
This article would have been very easy to write 20 years ago.
Q: Can police officers smoke weed?
A: Of course not, if they want to keep their job.
There were no shades of grey (or green) 20 years ago. The pot was illegal everywhere, except in the few Western states (plus Maine) that legalized medical marijuana in the late 90s and very early 2000s. And despite local laws, weed remained illegal under federal law — just as it is today.
In fact, U.S. attorneys still had the authority to raid legal, licensed dispensaries in their jurisdictions. Some feds operating in conservative counties, even in California, did just that. It wasn’t until Obama-era guidance discouraged federal enforcement in “legal” states that users and dispensary owners could breathe a sigh of relief.
To put it simply, weed may have been legal in some states and for some purposes. But there was no widespread acceptance of its use — and that was certainly true in the nation’s police departments.
Public attitudes about weed have definitely changed over the lasonly 32% of Americans supported legalization in the early 2000s, but that number had soared to 67% by 2019. And in Pew’s latest survey, only 8% of U.S. adults said marijuana should be illegal in all circumstances.
By their very nature, police departments are conservative organizations.
We aren’t referring to the political viewpoints of officers (although those also generally lean conservative). Our point is that police agency are very slow to embrace innovation and change. A study published by the U.S. Justice Department linked inertia to traditional leadership styles, command structures, and ideologies prevalent in police departments for generations.
That means knowingly allowing police officers to violate a long-standing federal law would be morally wrong and would allow others to question their department’s integrity.
Here’s why that matters. Some of the money that flows to police agencies comes from the federal government. And federal funding can be made contingent on any number of factors — theoretically including adherence to U.S. cannabis laws or maintaining a drug-free workplace. Management consultants might call decisions based on this reasoning the “better safe than sorry” theory.
Let’s start with one little-known federal law: it’s illegal to purchase or own a gun or ammunition if you use cannabisgistration form you fill out when you buy a gun requires you to certify that you don’t use marijuana. (CBD is exempt.) The supposed reason the feds still “ban” weed users from gun ownership? Safety.
There are moves in other states and cities to allow police officers to use medical marijuana, but progress is slow — as it always is in police departments. The greater relaxation of “weed standards” involves job applicants and prior use.
In the past, people who wanted to become a police officer were automatically disqualified for having used marijuana, no matter how long ago they’d toked up. Faced with a dwindling pool of job applicants, however, states like Connecticut and cities like Seattle have eased those restrictions. Police applicants there are only disqualified from consideration if they’ve smoked within the past year, and the restriction has been lowered to three years in states like Connecticut and Chicago.
So for now, most cops still can’t smoke weed legally, but it appears that may change over time. After all, 20 years ago who would have thought that nearly 70% of Americans would be in favor of legalization?
A: It Many will face termination, but some may just face disciplinary action.
A: That’s correct — but even the Secret Service and FBI have lowered their requirements for job applicants. Any prior cannabis use was once a disqualifier, but now they must only have been clean for the past three years. |

en | N/A | N/A | To wrap up this honeymoon guest art extravaganza, here is one final contemplative piece from Mitsukaiten of Arbalest!
My headcannon is that Colbs is deciding who to kill (or not kill) next. She's got quite the list!
Arbalest is the story of a consistently reincarnating creature named (at least, in this reincarnation) Haelu. Everyone wants her dead, but she doesn't know why. She just knows she's different, and that this time, she wants the ending to change.
Please go read Arbalest! Like many of the comics featured during my absence, it's at the perfect spot for a quick binge read to catch up! Thank you, Mitsu!
AHHHHHH I'm back on the mainland today! So dreary. So dull. So...*sigh* normal. Though after an overnight flight, I suppose simply being home is looking pretty good!
Today's piece of guest art comes from Rommie of Soul to Call!
If you are a fan of this comic and haven't already added Soul to Call to your reading list, what are you waiting for? Avril and Colbs are obviously best buds, which means our readers should be too!
Soul to Call follows the story of Avril as she sneaks into an occult-infested hallucinogenic fog zone in a dark magic post apocalyptic wasteland. Chased by cultists who want to sacrifice her, she stumbles into the Anathema Eli, a lil cinnamon roll who just needs a hug while he looks into the deepest recesses of your soul. But they wouldn't survive long without James O'Brian, mercenary for hire with a heart of gold some soft, malleable yet strong-and-good-looking metal. Will Avril find her father before she and her friends die horrible, horrible deaths?
This is our final night in Kaua'i :( This island is sooooo beautiful. I don't want to go home!
But, I would like to get to making comics again :D
Today's guest art comes from Kryspix of Soul Bound!
It features her character Mara doing some sweet martial arts moves of her own!
Similar to some other folks who have graciously offered up guest art, Soul Bound is at that sweet spot for a quick and fun archive binge. This is Kryspix's second comic, and with many years' experience of webcomics under her belt, she hit the ground running! From a well-meaning princess torn out of a story (and thrown off a balcony), to a goblin prince, the bastard son of a war-crazed king, this comic already has a ton going for it. Go check it out!
Today's guest art comes from Joe Davies of Golden Sky Hero!
Colbey is kicking ass major butt with Joe's character Artie! Together, with their powers combined, they are Captain Planet! Oh wait. Wrong story. No green mullets. (I'm a 90's kid, okay?)
Golden Sky Hero is the tale of Artie, a young Wolkhar boy who recently came of age in his village. He made himself a suit of armor, and strode into a scary labyrinth of caves to find himself a gem left for him by his father. When he returns, his fellow villagers have vanished! Confused and afraid, Artie must learn the fate of those he cares about, all the while discovering the powers in the gem he found! Ten year old boys have never been so fly.
Please go check out Joe's comic!
For you die-hard romantics out there, Darwin of The Only Half Saga has made something very special for you! This piece is titled "What Should Have Been," with Colbey and Peter engaging in nuptials. DON'T GET USED TO IT. I'm not promising a happy ending here. Get it while you can! :P
Cabal is a dhampir: half human, half vampire, born of a vampire mother and human father shortly before the nukes fell. As his mother slowly loses her sanity, Cabal must learn to survive on his own, to find blood meals in between regular food, and come to terms with a growing conscience in an often-merciless post apocalyptic wasteland. He wins some, loses some, gains friends, family, and especially, enemies. Rated MATURE! Fans of What it Takes will dig it.
Ack! I ran out of data :( Took me all day to dmget back to a place where I could post this. Glad I uploaded the art beforehand :)
This is page 3 of 3 of a short little story about Peter and Colbey going to a wedding/arriving late/deciding what to do next--by k8a of Careful Going!
Careful Going is a relatively new comic (translation: perfect time for a sweet archive binge) that so far is about crewmates on a ship that rescue children stolen/sold into slavery. On a recent rescue, long lost siblings reconnect--but they don't all recognize each other. The drama begins! Hint: knife stabbery.
k8a offered to conspire with me during my leave of absence. I wrote a rough script, and k8a polished it up and drew it! Since the theme of my absence is "Kez ditched y'all to get married and have some fun," this short little story is about how Peter and Colbey went to a wedding! Or didn't go. The best kind of wedding, imo! Yes, I did just say that. It was cool to be the bride in a costume and all, but man am I glad it's over!
Catch you MONDAY with more guest art!
Hello from Kaua'i! I remembered to write this post before midnight, after a beautiful day of exploring this paradise. After buying myself the biggest damn sun hat I could find, I dubbed myself the "super tourist." Don't care. No sun burn for me! I'll post some pictures on the facebook and twitter when I get a chance! A few are already up on twitter :)
But enough about me! This is page 2 of 3 of a short little story about Peter and Colbey going to a wedding/arriving late/deciding what to do next--by k8a of Careful Going!

This is page 1 of 3 of a special treat made for you by k8a of Careful Going!
Thanks K8a! Come back tomorrow for page 2! It's awesome.
Today's piece comes from Mr. Average over at
I'm not sure which scares me more: the outcome of the election, or the thought of Colbey driving a tank! She'd certainly make a great time of it though! :D
6 Commando is the story of an alternate earth where the cold war didn't end, but instead went hot in the 1990's--thanks to the efforts of AI superweapon tank named "Mike." When trying to rescue Major Sarah Bronniford in a kind of DMZ, Mike crosses borders and ignites a nuclear war. If you like What it Takes, you will like 6 Commando. Please go check it out!
Ah damn I uploaded all the guest art, but only got one news post out of the way before I escaped new York! This fantastic piece comes from Hjels of October 20. You guys understand what Colbey is muttering through her knives?? Lololol! Hjels, I am typing this up on my phone like the exhausted traveler I am, and I will get a banner up posthaste!
Guys, October 20 is in my sidebar over there on the left under recommended reads for a damn good reason. Imagine being hunted by a mythological creature, and knowing the day and time of when the attack would occur. One day, every year, it comes for you, until you are dead. What would you do to prepare? What would you you sacrifice to survive? It's a fantastic story. Read it!
I got married yesterday! Today, you guys get this utterly amazing and totally cute chibi Colbey off to kill someone, drawn by the amazingly talented Monica N. Galvin of Moonslayer!
THANK YOU MONICA! Monica draws adorable chibis (a skill I cannot fathom), and in addition, draws her own heroine-who-slays-things-regularly for her OWN comic, MoonSlayer! SLAYER IS IN THE TITLE. Get on over there! If you like this comic, you'll probably like Moonslayer! CLICK THE LINK BELOW
Come back tomorrow for more amazing guest art, and PLEASE check out the comics of the artists who have made me art during my honeymoon! THEY DESERVE IT.
Also, I'm off to Hawaii, so you should go read their comic instead of mine. :D
Comic of the week will continue when I return. (you get comic of the day instead!)
Arc 20 - Regrets - Page 152
This is the final update for the comic story until November 21st! Come back starting on Monday for guest art while I'm away! We're loaded up at LEAST monday through friday now. If there's more, it's going up over the weekend :D Thank you in advance to all of my friends who've made stuff to cover for my absence!
Comics of the week are Castoff and Sons of the Forgotten!
Castoff: After getting kidnapped and dragged halfway across the world, scaredy-cat Vector finds himself a long, long way from home. Now, with the help of a short tempered bounty hunter, a happy-go-lucky cartographer, and many more unlikely friends, he has to try and make it home in one piece. Guys, this comic is adorable and wonderful, and this is the best page ever.
Next in the line up of fun fantasy is
Sons of the Forgotten! This is a pretty new comic, so it's the perfect time to jump on in there. Follow the adorable af baby Erric as he discovers a treasure in his father's attic, destined to turn him into a great adventurer! Or so we hope :D |

Khandala, a popular exotic tourist destination in the state of Maharashtra, is a beautiful hill station that is today often replete with tourists, nature enthusiasts, and photographers.

It is a major highlight in India’s tourism circuit and is a popular weekend getaway for the denizens of Mumbai and Pune. Khandala is often mentioned together with Lonavala.

en | N/A | N/A | Sports Website Slammed for Sympathetic Article on Rapist OK City Officer
Sports website SB Nation quickly back-peddled Wednesday after an article that was sympathetic towards convicted rapist Daniel Holtzclaw.
Daniel Holtzclaw and sexual assault wreportedly targeted women with prior criminal records and demanded sexual favors in exchange for letting them go. Holtzclaw was sentenced last month to over 230 years, to be served consecutively.
The article, "Who is Daniel Holtzclaw?", was pulled within hours of its posting, criticized for relying on quotes from people biased in Holtzclaw's favor, like Holtzclaw's parents and former teammates. The author, Jeff Arnold, also admitted to having covered the entirety of Holtzclaw's college football career, leading many to question the author's ability to maintain a neutral perspective. Arnold also suggested that steroid use, football-related brain trauma, or Holtzclaw's failure to make it in the NFL might help explain the actions he was convicted of.
Writers from other sites, including ESPN, took to Twitter to slam Arnold's article and his attempts to justify Holtzclaw's actions. SB Nation editorial director Spencer Hall issued a statement about the pulled article, accepting responsibility for it and slamming the article himself,

en | N/A | N/A | Dr and Prevention Unit. She investigates child-inju's risky play.
Dr. Brussoni says, "Not long ago, the sound of children playing outside was a regular fixture on most residential streets", but there has been a cultural shift so that has led to a norm of over-protection where risk is considered synonymous with danger.
Dr. Brussoni has spent several years reviewing child-injury statistics and researching injury prevention, from which she has reached the conclusion that we are putting excessive limitations on children's play, despite the fact that serious injuries are rare; "recent research showed that children would have to play outside for three hours per day for approximately 10 years before they were likely to have one medically treated (and likely minor) injury".
In an effort to reduce liability, she says that public play spaces for children "are increasingly uniform, standardized, and boring. Access to nature and natural materials has been reduced, while fixed plastic and metal play equipment that meet safety standards but have limited play value have become ubiquitous", and "research suggests that when equipment becomes too boring, children use it in unsafe ways to maintain challenge".
She references Canada's Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play (Tremblay et al, 2015), and the risk-benefit assessment process developed by the Play Safety Forum in the UK (Ball, Gill & Spiegal, 2012), which recommend inclusion of nature and natural materials in children's play spaces.
Dr. Brussoni's team have developed an online tool https://outsideplay.ca/ which takes users through a series of tasks to help them reflect on their attitudes and fears and apply the ideastheir approach. The ParticipACTION 2016 survey found that just 37% of children play outside every day, and only 7% of kids under 10 are allowed to go out on their own. The OUTSIDEPLAY.ca tool "guides users through a journey that is split into 3 different chapters - each with its unique interactivity". Each of the chapters can be done separately. The application is designed to give parents "some tools to help you decide and develop a personalized plan to help you make changes". |

The petrol prices have come down!

The angels' wings flap, apparently. That's the great thing about Christmas - for me at least. I know I should be getting all gooey about Peace on Earth & that stuff but really, what makes me goo is the lighting. I could spend hours wandering the streets admiring the lighting displays.

en | N/A | N/A | Now, let me preface by admitting that I'm as guilty as the next man when it comes to skirting by for free every now and then. Nothing major, but little things, like hopping the train, for instance. I mean, does anybody pay for the Metro in Rome, or the trams in Melbourne?
Fast forward about 6 hours. After my couple of hours meandering away from Centraal Station, after my dinner at De Peper, and probably most significantly to this story, after my visit to Hunter's Coffeeshop. Now, I'm sure you've been to a coffee shop before that allows smoking. And I'm sure you've been to one that doesn't allow tobacco. But…both?
So, naturally in the mood for dessert after a scrumptious meal, I elected the chocolate brownie, so creatively called a "space cake". Feeling satisfied that my hand-sized brownie was 4 Euros well spent, I ever-so-coherently continued my exploration of Amsterdam's back alleys, until I decided to pack it in and retreat to Centraal three hours later, around midnight. Disappointed that I still didn't feel any of that Amsterdam "charm", I concluded that I was either: a) immune to the effects of marijuana, not being much of a smoker to begin with; b) a master of maintaining composure even under adverse chemical effects; or c) a sucker for buying a really, really weak brownie, thinking I should have realized that four Euros doesn't go very far…
About halfway through the 45-minute journey home, somewhere amidst the distant, rolling lights peering out of the dark night, I was awoken by an NS conductor, asking to see my ticket. Startled, I wiped the grog out of my eyes and began searching every pocket on me…only to find my wallet (which I craftily avoided revealing) and some lint. After watching me struggle for a good 45 seconds, and me signaling to him that I 'surely' have it…
I still don't know if that conductor even noticed me sneak out or tried to stop me, and I don't care. I just remember time slowing down as I made my way out of HS Station, hearing crowds coming from the clouds cheering me on like it was a slow motion replay of the 15th round of Rocky vs. Apollo Creed. I walked briskly and purposefully into the first tram waiting, and when I saw that it was No. 9, I probably would have thrown my arms up in jubilation as the doors closed with me inside had it not been for discerning glare of a bald elderly man and the jolt of the tram's movement shoving me down into a seat, as if to tell me to get a grip and stop looking like an idiot… |
