A gift voucher or certificate is a piece of paper or electronic card loaded with a value that's later exchanged for goods or services.
When you sell a gift voucher, the customer is holding an asset of your business until the voucher is redeemed. So when you record the sale of a gift voucher, it needs to be recorded as a liability posted to an Unclaimed Gift Certificate account.
When the customer redeems the voucher, all you need to do is create an invoice and pay for it using the funds from the Unclaimed Gift Voucher account.
This way, you can easily track the value of outstanding gift vouchers or write-off any that remain unredeemed.
OK, let's take you through the details.
You'll first want to create a liability account which will hold the value of issued gift vouchers.
When you sell a gift voucher, record it using a Receive Money transaction. This lets you allocate the funds to the Unclaimed Gift Vouchers account created earlier.
Enter the applicable tax/GST code. Check with your accounting advisor if you're not sure which code to use.
Here's our example for the sale of a $100 gift voucher:
When a customer redeems their gift voucher, it's recorded as an invoice because the customer is using it to buy something. You can then "pay" for the invoice using funds from the Unclaimed Gift Certificate account.
The gift voucher is redeemed and the Unclaimed Gift Certificate account balance is reduced by the voucher amount.
To determine the value of all unclaimed gift vouchers, check the balance of the Unclaimed Gift Vouchers liability account by running the Accounts List (Summary) report (Reports > Index to Reports > Accounts > Accounts List (Summary)).
To see a history of gift vouchers sold and redeemed, check the transaction history of the Unclaimed Gift Vouchers liability account:
Unredeemed gift vouchers represent income, so they can be written off using a Receive Money transaction.
For this transaction:
Recording this transaction will reduce the balance of the Unclaimed Gift Vouchers liability account and credit the balance of the chosen income account.

It can work as a mid-layer for really cold riding, such as when I crossed the Swiss Alps in early Spring while on my round-the-world trip. And while camping, it works as a nice off-bike pant for keeping out the evening chill and still having some style!" By JamminGlobal from Africa Klim Badlands Pro Jacket, Inferno Jacket/Pants, and Agressor Brief/Shorts �My friend, Brian and I, just completed a 7 day, 2700 mile ride from Castro Valley, CA to Lorteo, Baja and back. The temperature ranged from 23 to 86 degrees. I was wearing for the first time, my new Klim Badlands Jacket, Inferno Liner Jacket (over a light sweater � no heated clothes) and Inferno Liner pants, under my riding pants. Amazingly, at 4:00am, on I-5, at 80mph, with the temperature dropping to 23 degrees, I was not cold. As we dropped over the Grapevine, the temperature warmed and ultimately got as high as 86 degrees in parts of Mexico. As I dropped layers and opened the vents, the temperature control worked very well. The form fitting of both the jacket and the Inferno liner make a very comfortable combination, whether worn together or separately (the Inferno jacket makes a great casual light weight jacket on its own). I was also, wearing the Klim Aggressor Briefs which were very comfortable in all temperatures; I am going to get several more pair.� By Jim B from Dublin, CA | | commoncrawl |

Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Carter picks his spots these days.
One month shy of his 38th birthday, the formerly sky scraping high-flyer with mid-flight flare like few who had come before him (or after), has nestled into a more reserved role as he's entered the twilight of his career. With over half of his season's field goal attempts coming from beyond the arc, Carter seems content in his role as spot-up specialist (he's a 38% career shooter from deep).
However, there remains increasingly rare moments where Carter is called upon to step into the time machine and flashback to the mega-dunking days of his youth. Last night was one of those moments.
With his Grizzlies trailing by two mid-way through the fourth quarter, Vince Carter collected an outlet pass and jaunted his way down the floor in transition. Sensing confusion from the Jazz side as to who should stop ball, Carter seized the opportunity and slid into the lane, where he was met by 7'1" Frenchman Rudy Gobert aka The Stifle Tower (yes, that nickname's a thing).
Gobert rose for what would have been his third block of the game, only Carter had something special waiting for him. VC soared over the top of Gobert and delivered a vintage spread eagle tomahawk that ignited the Memphis crowd and knotted the game at 75.
Gobert shouldn't feel bad. Carter has a history with dunking over seven footers from France. | commoncrawl |
2010 May 04 | go-karting with Lucy, SD
Us in our Freddy outfits with some of the promoters at the club.
Lucy and I went to Speedy's Fast Track because she had "buy one, get one free" coupons. It has go karts...
... and mini golf...
... and video games. Although all of these were broken.
More video games, a lot of which were broken, too.
I've never seen this before. You put your money in and then tell it which table you want to play at. It didn't work, though, so the cashier just opened the pool table for us to get the balls.
Playing pool.
There were a bunch of Whac-A-Mole and other whac-a-whatever games, but none of them worked.
This one kind of worked, but only the back three moles came up. Even though a lot of the things were broken and run down, it was still fun.
Jenny and I went to Sawyer Park on Tuesday night for the Bada Bingo, or drunk bingo. We got there early to sit in front because they give out free shots for people who make a lot of noise at certain parts of the game. We only bought one drink a piece but our table got three rounds of free drinks. Here everyone is making an "O" right before the number is called because O69 gets everyone in the bar a free shot.
Some hand cleaner that we used that ended up basically gluing our hands together, resulting in us having to go to a restaurant and wash off the cleaner. It was fairly new, but it was been sitting in my Jeep, so I wonder if the heat messed it up?
Some weather and games that printed off at the bottom of my boarding passes, kind of a neat idea.
We went to the early screening of Nightmare on Elm Street. They had these garbage bags hanging from the ceiling and since it was dark, you didn't notice until you ran into them. I think they also had a guy dressed up as Freddy to scare people.
You're gonna go put some stuff in your garage with no light right after we watched Nightmare on Elm Street? I think I'll just stand here, wait until you get to the back, and then slam the door closed, haha!
On the way to the airport, we were watching the cars in the HOV lane, and like 10-20% on had a single person in them.
Some flight delights for Mom.
Nice, the flight into on the one monitor, the one I need to read, is all tiny.
Hard to see, but the hanging sign says it's 99 cents to substitute onion rings for fries in a meal. But if you just buy them separately, onion rings only cost 60 cents more.
$2 for a big box of candy in an airport seems like a pretty good deal.
Aw, the baggage handlers put a big rip in my bag.
One thing I don't miss about South Dakota.
Two remotes for one TV? Talk about lazy.
Arg, digging through 10,000 nail clippers trying to find a good one.
Running the dog at the river.
Dad moving some rocks with the tractor.
Putting some rocks on the side of the house.
And not a moment too soon because here comes the rain.
Mmmm... chocolate chip pie.
Going to rummage sales on Saturday morning.
Mom's map of the sales. It's pretty obvious where my siblings and I get our OCD organizing fetishes.
These used to be just for lighting cigarettes, then cigarettes and electricity, and now they're only for electricity.
Dad scooping some rocks to finish off the other side of the house.
I haven't put pennies on the railroad tracks in like 20 years. Ah, the glorious days of childhood.
And here comes the train to smoosh them.
The only problem is sometimes they're a little hard to find, but usually they don't go too far.
Oops. They left some copper behind on the tracks, too.
Wanna find some good, clean dirt? Go find some badger holes. Just be ready to run or smack 'em with the shovel if any come out all angry.
Some ducks in the nearby pond.
Aw, that doesn't look too so bad.
Oh, wait, yeah it does. I spoke too soon. Should have waited to comment until after scraping.
Hey, dog, would you mind not wrapping your chain around the ladder while I'm up here?
Much better now.
It's so nice to be working with latex, which comes off with water, rather than oil, which we had to dump gasoline all over ourselves to remove.
And a couple of random jobs in the quanset.
First, get the mower going. It's not starting? Well, how about we just grab some random piece of metal, like this machete, and stick it across the connection? Yeah, sure I'll sit on the seat while we try this; I don't mind getting blown up, especially with a gigantic blade right under me.
Second, getting the door out a bit father. I'll lift, you push. This worked out much better than the time we tried it in the middle of the blizzard with dad lifting the door up with the tractor and telling me to catch it if it falls. Yeah, I'll get right on that. I mean, who really needs 10 whole fingers? Surely there are plenty to spare.
This could be really good or really bad.
I was sitting here and all the sudden heard this horrific scratching. This woman had these huge overweight bags she was taking and the wheels on them weren't doing much good.
I was all comfortable in these chairs, but then we had to go through security and sit in the hard plastic ones.
I hate airport security in South Dakota. "This is too big to take." Well, the people in Houston didn't care at all, and I think it's a little more likely that terrorists are going to fly out of there. Plus, the whole limit on gels and liquids is pretty pointless anyway. It's like cops arresting you for going 2 miles over the speed limit; it's just blindless rule following. I still say she literally stole $16 from me, since that's what that cost.
Now this is disgusting. You squeeze it and "poop" comes out.
Where McDonald's hides it's freezer in the Minneapolis airport.
I can never remember which side has the down escalators, so half the time I go the wrong way and have to walk all the way around. You'd think I could remember that the giant cow in the space suit is on the down side, but apparently not.
We went to Cracker Barrel after I got back. We played this "jump over the tees and remove them until one is left" triangle game. I hadn't played it in over 20 years, but I thought I remembered starting with a peg missing one from the edge worked well, so that's what I did, and I beat it my first try. Complete luck, of course, but still funny. | commoncrawl |

A podium (plural podia) is a platform that is used to raise something to a short distance above its surroundings. In architecture a building can rest on a large podium. Podia can also be used to raise people, for instance the conductor of an orchestra stands on a podium as do many public speakers. Podium has incorrectly come to mean the object a speaker stands behind and sets papers or books upon, even when it is at floor level, though the correct term for that item is lectern. The terms are not interchangeable. Correct usage, you always stand on a Podium, but you never stand on a lectern. You lean against a lectern while standing on a Podium.
One common type of podium is used to honor medalists in sporting events such as the Olympics. In the Olympics a three level podium is used, the highest level in the centre holds the gold medalist, to their right is a somewhat lower one for the silver medalist. To the left of the gold medalist is an even lower platform for the bronze medalist. Some sports, most notably rowing shun podia, and the symbolism they represent.
Similar podia are used in motorsport, where the first three finishers will usually stand on one at the end of the race to receive trophies. Notable exceptions are the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 races which have different historic customs. In motor racing, the term is frequently used to refer to a top three placing (as in "he'll get a podium").
Professor Barney's 25-page research paper in the International Journal of Olympic Studies indicates podia were first used at the 1930 British Empire Games (now Commonwealth Games) in Hamilton and subsequently during the 1932 Olympic Summer Games in Los Angeles and Winter Games in Lake Placid.
Canadians are popularly known as hosers who drink maple syrup, live in igloos and play hockey with polar bears.
In many forms of motorsport, the three top-placed drivers in a race stand on a podium for the trophy ceremony. In an international series, the national anthem of the winning driver, and the winning team or constructor may be played and the flags of the drivers' countries are hoisted above them.
Following the presentation of the trophies, the drivers will often spray champagne over each other and their team-members watching below, a tradition started by Dan Gurney following the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Occasionally the drivers will refrain from spraying the champagne as a mark of respect for a fatality during the event.
The term has become common parlance in the media, where a driver may be said to "be heading for a podium finish" or "just missing out on a podium" when he is heading for, or just misses out on a top three finish.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the highest level of stock car racing in the United States, does not have a three-person podium. Instead the race winner celebrates with his team in Victory Lane.
The IRL IndyCar Series is inconsistent about using a podium. The series does not use a podium at the Indianapolis 500 or the Bombardier Learjet 550. Texas Motor Speedway president, Eddie Gossage, believes that Victory Lane should be reserved for the winner of the race. However, the series does use a podium at all other races. | commoncrawl |

Researchers build bridges to cancer biomarkers
A new method for detecting and quantifying cancer-associated proteins in body fluids may offer a major boost to the development of biomarkers to aid in early cancer detection and personalized cancer therapy.
In Nature Biotechnology, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center researchers and partners in the National Cancer Institute's Clinical Proteomic Technology Assessment for Cancer (CPTAC) program describe a combination of proteomics methods that increases accuracy and reproducibility of candidate biomarker verification, ensuring that the best biomarker candidates are carried through to clinical validation.
Although thousands of cancer biomarker candidates have been reported, only a handful have been clinically validated, largely due to lack of standardized technologies and methods for verifying those candidates.
"Despite broad enthusiasm for the potential of proteomics to identify cancer biomarkers, the reproducibility of the technology has been unclear," said Daniel Liebler, Ph.D., Ingram Professor of Cancer Research, director of the Jim Ayers Institute for Precancer Detection and Diagnosis, and leader of the Vanderbilt CPTAC team.
A biomarker development pipeline encompasses a "discovery" phase, a "verification" phase and a "validation" phase that includes clinical trials. In the discovery phase, the process of "shotgun" proteomics compares tumors to normal tissue to identify proteins that distinguish cancers from healthy tissue, yielding dozens to hundreds of candidate biomarkers in each experiment.
"You start with a lot of possible molecules, and then you play molecule 'Survivor,'" says Liebler. "You eliminate the ones that are unfit for the purpose until you end up with a few molecules that have really good quality credentials."
Normally, the narrowing down of biomarker candidates — the "verification" phase — is done with immunoassays, using antibodies that react with the candidate proteins in biological specimens. However, the supply of good quality antibodies for the vast number of biomarker candidates that come out of the discovery phase is inadequate, creating a broken link in the biomarker discovery pipeline.
"There is a need for a bridging technology in the middle of the 'pipe' that would allow you to sort out, evaluate and actually eliminate poor quality candidates," he said.
The NCI established the CPTAC program to help evaluate the ability of proteomics technologies to serve as that bridge. Vanderbilt-Ingram was one of five centers chosen to participate in the effort. The study described in the Nature Biotechnology paper represents a two-year project done among the CPTAC centers. Lisa Zimmerman, Ph.D., research assistant professor of Biochemistry, led the work of Vanderbilt's CPTAC team on the study.
The CPTAC teams focused on combining two existing mass spectrometry-based technologies that do not depend on antibodies — multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) coupled with stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry (SID-MS).
The purpose of the current study was not to evaluate specific cancer biomarkers, Liebler explained, but "to determine how the technology behaves in various people's hands, to see whether they could all 'sing in the same key.'"
The teams analyzed three sets of specimens — which consisted of human blood plasma containing either peptides that corresponded to seven proteins of interest, digested proteins, or the intact proteins. In a series of experiments, the teams showed that the SID-MRM-MS platform can consistently identify and measure candidate biomarkers across laboratories and that the degree of variation is on par with the performance of clinical assays.
"That was very encouraging because it suggests that you can implement an MRM-based technology in the middle of a biomarker development pipeline and use it across multiple laboratories to evaluate biomarkers," Liebler said.
Implementing such methodology could provide a major advance to the development of cancer biomarkers, including blood tests for cancer detection. Having more cancer biomarkers available for clinical use could aid in early detection, help determine the likelihood of tumor recurrence, and help select more individualized cancer treatments.
The CPTAC teams are now refining the methodologies — making them more sensitive and configuring them to analyze dozens to hundreds of candidates in a single assay. The ultimate goal is to implement the process with real clinical specimens, with collection of samples currently underway at Vanderbilt-Ingram and the other centers.
Although the emphasis of the CPTAC program is on cancer biomarkers, the lessons learned and technologies developed will be broadly applicable to a range of human conditions.
"These methods are applicable not just to cancer but also to heart disease, diabetes, a lot of other things," Liebler said. | commoncrawl |
B&B in London is available across all London hotel districts, but the best value is found at several budget hotel districts where this type of accommodation dominates.
If a cheap price is your dominant requirement for London B&B accommodation we have a separate dedicated page looking at the cheapest B&B hotels in London.
If you want a more traditional Bed and Breakfast hotel (typically found outside London) we have a dedicated page looking at quality B&B hotels in Central London.
Argyle Square opposite Kings Cross & St Pancras Stations has some of the best value bed and breakfast hotels in London.
A predominantly budget area catering for the budget traveller, very convenient for those flying into Heathrow Airport.
On the north side of Hyde Park, Bayswater is an excellent budget area with cheap rooms during the week. Prices go up at weekends.
The most central of the B&B areas for which you pay a small premium. Cheap airport buses direct to all 4 major London airports.
Neighbouring Bayswater with Sussex Gardens one B&B after another. Paddington station is the terminus of the Heathrow Express.
The price differential between the cheapest B&B in London at around £55 for a double/twin room with breakfast to £150 per night or more reflects the wide difference in offerings between hotels advertising themselves as B&Bs, or to give their full name: Bed and Breakfast hotels.
Be not in doubt, the vast majority are not homely houses with a couple of rooms rented out by attentive family owners you find outside London. These are essentially small simple hotels with between 15 and 50 rooms, the very cheapest ones can be very basic.
There are still a handful of traditional family B&Bs, most of these are at the top end of the price scale and are no cheaper than neighbouring 3 or 4 star hotels often. London Bed and Breakfast hotels are typically 4, 5 or 6 storey Victorian terraced houses. Many will not have lifts or air-conditioning.
The hotel grading system is not helpful with B&Bs graded in a totally separate system to 2 or 3 star hotels that serve breakfast. In budget hotel districts like Earl's Court and Bayswater the terms B&B and 3 star hotel in the independent sector are almost interchangeable.

Hello! In the gif above is Penelope, a now 5-week old kitten I recently rescued on a rainy day. I'm not planning on keeping her, in fact I already might have someone who would be willing to take her. However, that's ONLY if I can pay for vaccinations and neutering.
So far, I've been able to cover all of the costs of her initial vet visits and meds. She still needs to go back to check that she no longer has Coccidia.
But, as life goes, I seem to have run into a few unexpected bills that I need to cover. Because of this, I'm unable to pay even just for the follow up visit to the vet.
I'm hoping to at least get up to $400-500 in order to finish paying for everything that she needs before she can get to her forever home. If anyone can be so kind as to send me even just $1, I would honestly be forever grateful.
My paypal is PayPal.me/bmayorga1998
Again any help is welcomed!!
This is Hargrove. She is mine and I love her 😍😍😍

Some mornings go like this: I'm uptight, Altaz is grumpy, Sasha is agitated because of me and Altaz, and seeing her upset makes us both feel guilty and kind of mad at each other. We all feel strained and disconnected. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, it just doesn't feel good and it's hard to come out of. Anyone else relate? This morning I decided to tell Altaz some theories I'd been toying with about why I'm feeling so uptight, fully intending to make the conversation about me and my needs.
But then he said something like "Can I tell you what's been going on for me?" and my inner voice told me to be quiet and just listen. Shhhh. Just listen.
Couples therapists like myself have tons of how-to's, especially when it comes to communication. But I didn't want to therapize us - I just wanted to connect. I had been feeling so lonely. So I listened to that inner voice that said "Drop your judgments, Jena. Just listen."
I learned a lot from that conversation, about what he has been struggling with, what stress he's under, how he's missing his work routine and his freedom, and I understood it all. It made sense. Although he said some hard truths, he was careful not to blame me. And I resisted trying to one-up him with who has less time for themselves and who has to sacrifice more - there are no winners in that competition.
The best part? Our follow up conversations were easier because a precedent had been set. We talk, we listen, and we strive to understand one another. After each conversation, we feel relief. We gain understanding. And we feel closer, a closeness we've so desperately craved but weren't sure how to elicit from each other in our stressed-out state.
If I can offer some advice to you couples out there having a stressful time with self-isolation, it's this: Speak, and don't blame. Listen, and don't judge. Above all, connect. In whatever way you can. | commoncrawl |

NIH Paying Volunteers to Catch the Flu
Updated: Monday, February 10 2014, 05:07 PM EST
It is the time of the year where everyone struggles to avoid flu season, but some Marylanders are willing to catch the flu for a price. The National Institute of Health is paying $3,000 to volunteers for research purposes.
Volunteers would be infected with a mild to moderate strain of H1N1 flu virus and then quarantined on the NIH campus for at least nine days. FOX45 spoke with some who are willing to sign up.
"Absolutely, Ihave a price for everything," one volunteer said. "And $3,000 dollars sounds very fair for that."
Doctors at NIH say it is the only clear way of studying the flu.
"In this setting, we know exactly when they were exposed, how long they've been sick, when they became infectious, how infectious they are," NIH Dr. Matthew Memoli said. "We can monitor every part of the immune system response so we can learn what we need to learn in order to improve the vaccines."
The first group of 24 volunteers has already shown that most people have the flu days before any symptoms occur. On average the flu lasts about five to six-days.
NIH researchers are searching for both male and female volunteers between the ages of 18 and 50-years old.

Ian Kilpatrick, chairman of VAD Wick Hill Group, looks forward to the coming year.
Current indications are that 2014 will build on 2013 and show continued overall growth for the IT Industry
Thanks to the NSA and GCHQ, (coupled with ongoing allegations against the Chinese), security, corporate privacy and encryption have moved swiftly up the corporate agenda. Identity management, which has often been seen as a 'nice to have', will become even more of a 'must have.'
For many years, wireless security was an afterthought to wireless deployment. However, in 2014, with the ratification of multi GBPS 802.11ac, wireless security will become ever more important as organizations move from wired networks to wireless ones.
As one example, the majority of wireless access point deployments in SMEs are connected to the trusted network, effectively bypassing the gateway security controls and policies. This isn't sustainable, as wireless becomes the core of the network. There will be a rise in the deployment of both 802.11ac wireless and associated access point security.
With the exponential growth of smartphones, and their expanding use as essential business and personal tools, organisations are facing up to the necessity to protect them. Smartphone security has at last reached the radar, and sales will grow strongly in 2014.
Identity management solutions include those from Gartner Magic Quadrant market leaders VASCO and SafeNet. Wireless security solutions are available from vendors such as WatchGuard, Check Point and Xirrus. Kaspersky Lab is one of the vendors providing smartphone security.
Mobility and convergence
The rapid growth of mobility and the increase in numbers of mobile devices will carry on during 2014. This increase will go hand in hand with further growth in convergence, with all the associated threats and benefits.
As the number of mobile devices multiplies, managing them will be ever more crucial. MDM solutions will see further growth. Relevant MDM features will include - ensuring that usage complies with company security policies; allocating access rights; managing configuration; updating policies; dealing with data leakage issues; and dealing with lost or stolen devices.
MDM solutions are available from suppliers such as Kaspersky Lab.
802.11ac, the new wireless standard, is scheduled for full IEEE certification in February 2014. It will deliver 1Gbps throughput initially, rising over time (and with enhancements) up to 7Gbps.
The shift from older 2.4Ghz mobile devices to faster (but shorter range) 5Ghz devices will directly lead to a significant proliferation of access points, with an associated rise in cabling, service and configuration activities.
WatchGuard and Xirrus are two suppliers with wireless access point solutions.
IPV6 will make an increasing impact in enterprise organisations, as infrastructure upgrades create greater corporate IPV6 awareness and increased connectivity to IPV6 customers and suppliers. IPV6 has a number of key mobility and roaming attributes, including the "home address" concept, which will raise some interesting challenges
Infrastructure, security and services around IPv6 will grow in 2014. IPV6 has greater security capabilities, however, during the extended migration period from IPv4 to IPv6, major security holes are created.
Transition to IPv6 is facilitated by solutions such as those from A10 Networks.
Big Data
The rise in data volumes has changed the computing environment for many organisations, with challenges created in managing and reporting on the increasing amount of data, as well as dealing with the growing risk of data loss. 2014 will see data volumes continuing to grow, with a rise in sales of solutions which protect and manage these large amounts of data.
There are many such solutions in this area such as those from Imation and Barracuda Networks.
Visibility reporting and remediation systems
With multiple threats, organisations have deployed multiple security solutions and lost sight of what's actually happening on the threat front. Consolidation to single suppliers will continue, but alongside that, deployment of reporting across multiple vendors will grow strongly.
Solutions which offer easy and quick visibility into what is happening, and has happened on networks, will rise in popularity. However visibility has proved to be insufficient and there will be increased momentum in systems that can not only report, but also remediate.
Vendors offering relevant solutions include Becrypt and Guidance Software.
Cloud services
Growth in cloud systems and SaaS will continue, particularly for utility services and amongst early adopters. The two key challenges to growth include privacy concerns and security. Solutions that address these issues are beginning to increase at a faster rate than the market.

Most technology leaders, contemporary and from the hardware era, are reshaping their businesses to do software in the hope of capturing value in IoT.

Celtic 1-2 Motherwell: McGhee lauds resilient Well victory
Last updated on .From the section Football
Motherwell boss Mark McGhee lauded his side's attack and defence in coming from behind to beat Celtic in Glasgow.
Motherwell's victory was their first at Celtic Park since April 2007.
"I think we've played really, really well," McGhee told BBC Scotland after Louis Moult's double sealed the win.
"We've not nicked some result, we've not come here and parked the bus, we've played some really good stuff, had some great performances and deserved to win the game."
The visitors enhanced their attacking potential in an open second half when Liam Grimshaw was withdrawn by McGhee for Lionel Ainsworth at the break.
"It was kind of forced on us a bit," said the manager. "Grimshaw was feeling ill during the week, he put in a great shift in the first half and was feeling the effects of that, so we had to take him off.
"Lionel's trained really well this week, so we put him in. We had to take him off again when [Stephen] McManus was injured in the head and had to be taken off, and then we had to regroup and reshape because we then had two very young centre-halves.
"We had to do something about that and accept they were going to come on to us.
"As it was they launched everything up to the edge of the box and I thought the goalkeeper and the back five, as it became, dealt with that brilliantly. Although it meant a lot of territorial pressure for Celtic, they never really threatened the goal."
Cetic manager Ronny Deila meanwhile was left to reflect upon his side's failure to win their past four home matches.
"I think we have taken a lot of points at home as well," he said. "We haven't lost at home in many, many months in the league so I'm not sure I agree that the home form has been very bad.
"But it's a different game when we play at home. It is always a compact team and we need to open them up. Today everything went too slow. Also defensively, we were too open."
Deila lamented Celtic's lack of verve, vigour and "discipline" in their attacking play.
"It was a very poor performance," he added. "The first half was too slow, we passed the ball but we didn't open them and it was too narrow in the ends of the pitch so we didn't create much.
"Second half, we started well, played more forward, got more runs in behind them and we got our goal, but after that, we were way too open." | commoncrawl |

Invisalign Teen is a practically invisible way to straighten the teeth of your teenager. There are no metal braces, wires, or brackets. Rather, Invisalign Teen uses clear aligners that are custom made to fit the mouth of your teenager, and can be removed. As your teens' teeth become straighter, the retainers will be replaced with a new set that matches the shift. In general, the retainers will be replaced every two weeks.
Is Invisalign Teen effective?
As a leading Invisalign Teen orthodontist, we believe when the retainers are worn accordingly, they can be just as effective as metal braces for standard straightening issues. Invisalign Teen can typically treat mild to moderate, and sometimes severe, underbites, overbites, gaps, and overcrowding. If you're unsure whether or not your teen is a candidate, call John Redmond Orthodontics.
Understanding the Advantages of Invisalign Teen
If you have had metal braces you likely know the downsides of them. For example, they are not comfortable and are generally not considered to be aesthetically pleasing. They are also more prone to damage, especially when the wearer is active in sports or plays certain musical instruments. Also, with braces, certain foods must be avoided. When your teen wears Invisalign Teen, they can consume any food because the aligners can be removed.
In addition to the aforementioned, there are emotional benefits to consider. This is due to the self-confidence issues that are so often prevalent in teens who wear traditional metal braces. Invisalign Teen aligners are invisible; therefore, they should not have an effect on the teens' vulnerability and emotions.
Can every teen get Invisalign Teen?
Invisalign Teen is ideal for any teen who may have what is called erupting or erupted permanent dentition. As a leading Invisalign Teen orthodontist might explain to you, these are common in most teenagers. That being said, certain orthodontic conditions cannot be treated with Invisalign Teen; therefore, an orthodontist should evaluate your teen's mouth.
Length of Time and Cost of Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen typically takes the same amount of time as traditional metal braces. However, the actual length of time your teen will require to reach the desired goal will largely depend on their condition and it's severity. This can only be determined by your Invisalign Teen orthodontist.
The cost of Invisalign Teen will vary depending on the location and complexity of treatment. You may pay a bit more than traditional braces for Invisalign Teen, but the benefits may greatly outweigh the increase in cost. You should certainly check with your insurance company to see whether or not they will cover some or all of orthodontic treatment. Finally, many Invisalign Teen orthodontists will offer flexible and affordable payment options.
Time Spent With the Orthodontist
Many parents have concerns about the amount of time that will be spent at the orthodontist for Invisalign Teen. This form of treatment tends to require less time with your orthodontist than metal braces because there are no adjustments, broken wires, or other issues to correct.
To see if Invisalign Teen is right for you, ask your parent or guardian to schedule a consultation at John Redmond Orthodontics in San Clemente today!
Five Things to Consider Before Getting Invisalign for Your Teen
When it comes to orthodontic treatments, San Clemente, CA Invisalign for teens continues to be a popular choice among both parents and adolescents. Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces, making it an appealing option for teens. However, before deciding on Invisalign for your teen, there are several factors to consider. Let's explore five things you should consider before getting Invisalign for your teen.
1. Maturity and Responsibility
Invisalign aligners are completely removable, a fact that makes them quite popular, but this means your teen needs to be responsible enough to remove them. Invisalign treatment requires a commitment to wearing the aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours a day, only removing them for eating, brushing, and flossing. It's essential to assess whether your teen is mature and responsible enough to follow these guidelines consistently. If your teen has a habit of misplacing or forgetting things, traditional braces may be a better option.
2. Compliance with Treatment
Orthodontic treatment, whether with braces or Invisalign, requires compliance to achieve the desired results. Unlike traditional braces, where adjustments are made by the orthodontist, Invisalign treatment relies on your teen changing aligners every one to two weeks. Your teen must be committed to attending regular check-ups and following the treatment plan diligently. Your teen must be committed to complying with their treatment, or negative consequences can occur.
3. Oral Hygiene Habits
Invisalign for San Clemente teens means being able to have good oral hygiene habits. With Invisalign, your teen can remove the aligners for brushing and flossing, allowing for easier cleaning compared to traditional braces. However, it's important to consider your teen's existing oral hygiene habits. If your teen already struggles with proper brushing and flossing, it's crucial to address these habits before starting Invisalign. Regular and thorough oral hygiene practices will help prevent cavities and maintain optimal dental health throughout the treatment.
4. Type and Complexity of Orthodontic Issues
Invisalign is an effective treatment option for many orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate cases of crowding, spacing, and misalignment. However, severe or complex orthodontic problems may require traditional braces for more precise and controlled tooth movement. It's essential to consult with an experienced Invisalign provider who can assess your teen's specific orthodontic needs and determine if Invisalign is a suitable option. Our team can help you choose the most effective treatment options.
5. Cost and Insurance Coverage
Before proceeding with Invisalign treatment for your teen, it's important to consider the financial aspect. Invisalign treatment may have a higher cost compared to traditional braces, although the exact pricing depends on various factors, such as the complexity of the case and the location. It's advisable to discuss the cost and payment options with your orthodontist. Additionally, check if your dental insurance covers Invisalign treatment for teenagers. Some insurance plans offer coverage for orthodontic treatment, which can significantly help with the expenses.
Invisalign can be an excellent orthodontic solution for teenagers, providing a discreet and comfortable treatment experience. However, before deciding on Invisalign for your teen, it's crucial to consider factors such as their maturity and responsibility, compliance with treatment, existing oral hygiene habits, the complexity of orthodontic issues, and the financial aspect. By carefully evaluating these considerations and consulting with an orthodontist, you can make an informed decision and ensure the best possible outcome for your teen's orthodontic journey. You can also contact our John Redmond Orthodontics team to help you decide if San Clemente Invisalign for teens is the correct option!
Client Review
"Very happy with Dr. Redmond and his whole staff. Two of my three kids went here for braces and had a great experience. Very easy to make appointments. Would define recommend!."Jen Dougherty | commoncrawl |
Someone asked a question, why do you sing? When you lift your hands to Jesus, What do you really mean? Someone may be wondering, when you sing your song, at times you may be crying and nothings even wrong. I sing because I am happy, I sing because I am free. His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me. -Kirk Franklin
This song is on my mind today. I am not sure how everyone else is made up but I know me. Sometimes I get so busy and my heart feels so hard. I will have a task at hand and I do it with all of my might. I put emotions/feelings on the back burner to get through what I need to do. This is a technique I subconsciously learned to do because I am such an emotional person.
However, I can never be in the presence of God and not be emotional. I used to hate it that I cried, just about every time I prayed. I did not want people to think something was always wrong. Today I am impressed in my spirit that putting emphasis on what other people think all the time is a joy thief. I absolutely love the Word of God. Reading the words edify my soul. They bring peace, stability and understanding to my mind. I truly could not make it without His Word. However, do I use His Word as a temporary fix for my emotional spirit at that very moment or do I understand His Word is settled in Heaven? Nothing can or will change the Word of God.
The following passage pricks my heart when I go back and read it. Luke 3 24:28-31 "By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on, but they begged him, Stay the night with us, since it is getting late. So he went home with them. As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them. Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him . And at that moment he disappeared! They said to each other, Didn't our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?""
These guys were followers of Jesus. They spent days upon days following Jesus, listening to His teachings, learning of His ways and receiving insight in regards to the future. However, even after all of this, when Jesus was crucified, doubt set in their hearts. They begin to allow fear to blind their eyes, fog their thinking. These guys left the other apostles and headed in a different direction. If you allow fear to lead your life, it will lead you in the wrong direction. But, on their journey a man showed up, walked with them, talked with them once again. At the end of the journey they asked this man, whom they didn't recognize to stay and eat with them. The man was Jesus. As he broke bread, their eyes were opened and they once again recognized Him. "They said to each other, Didn't our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?" What a powerful statement, "didn't our hearts burn within us?"
Does scripture, the written Words of God, burn within us as we read them? Do we really believe and understand these Words are not circumstantial, they are not based on our pedigree, specific past, specific present…..but these words are given to all who are called by God as a roadmap for our lives. We do not have to walk around in fear, flee in a different direction, or bow our heads in shame if we believe. If those Words Jesus spoke burn within our hearts. They aren't there as a pill for a specific crisis but they are there as an everyday guide and they are there for YOU. When we truly write these words on our hearts, tie them around our neck they will burn within us. That is why it is so important to study the word of God. Have you ever tied a ribbon around your finger so you wouldn't forget something? Memorizing, believing and applying scripture is kind of like that. You don't forget the string is there, it nudges you, it gets caught on stuff when you get to close to something, it may bring a little pain because the tie is tight enough to hold to your finger. You see that is like His Word. You can't forget it, if you do there are little nudges that remind you, if you get to close to sin or temptation it'll catch you up and remind you right from wrong, and even at times cause you pain, because it is The GREAT teacher of all times.
He made you as you are. He understood every hurt, heartache, failure, pain and victory that has come and will come into your life, yet His Word still says:
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us."(1 Peter 2:9–12)
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28–30)
" But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." (2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6–7)
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." ~ (Isaiah 41:10)
There are so many beautiful scriptures perfectly written for not so perfect people. Stop comparing yourself, stop worrying what other's think and start allowing the scriptures to burn within your heart today, revealing just who Jesus is to YOU, specifically. He loves you.
Someone asks a question…..I sing because I am happy, I sing because I am free….because I know He watches me! Just as Jesus was concerned about his friends, he found them, he spoke with them and he stayed with them until they believed, until they got back on track, until fear was eliminated, He is concerned about us. I want to tie the scriptures around my neck, the ribbon around my finger, the Words upon my heart, so that His Words burn within me so bright to keep me going and to strengthen others. He watches over us. He's always meeting us where we are at, reminding us of who He is. If you're looking for a "word", go back, read that great book and allow those words to burn within you so that you may hold on, return back, rebuild your faith.
Deuteronomy 31:8 – And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
Deuteronomy 31:6 – Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. | commoncrawl |

So this is my all time favourite picture of Charles Chaplin. It shows him with Helen Keller, and shes touching his face to recognize what he looks like.
This picture stirs up a lot of emotion in me. Its very sad, aborable, inspirational, and every other emotion in the spectrum. Does anyone know if there is a story behind it or anything? I feel like its an in-depth picture; one with something more going on than what it shows.
(By the way, if the picture didnt show up, im sorry. Im new to this. Lol)
Oh yes, that is a splendid pic Jayden! You can see all the raw emotion in it.
Here's a little history,...Chaplin had worked with several deaf people throughout his career in an effort to improve his own pantomime communication skills.
The most well known was Granville Redmond. Chaplin met Granville because he was interested in collecting his arts. They became good friends and Granville taught Charlie sign language and fingerspelling. Granville also played some parts in Charlie's film "The Dog's Life". And he went on to play some minor roles in seven films of Chaplin between 1918 and 1929.
So when Helen Keller came through Hollywood on a speaking tour, she came to the studio to meet Charlie Chaplin, the great supporter of the deaf. This at a time when most people in America were trying to abolish sign language all together.
By all accounts they got on very well. The pic you have is of her holding her hand to his mouth to feel what he is saying as he speaks to her. The one below is her showing him how she learned to speak letters in someones hand.
I read somewhere, where they spent most of the day off alone together and they smiled and laughed a lot like they had their own private world, just walking the studio lot and talking privately together. I wonder what they talked about.

JeTamme Derouet
I love the idea of these two together... they were both very child- like, and i imagine they enjoyed their time together because they both had someone to relate their inner feelings with, like two children i think its so cute!!
Hello JeTamme and thank you for providing a little background for this picture. Would you know if he met with Helen Keller before 1931, when Chaplin made "City Lights"? I wonder whether she served as inspiration for the character of the blind Flower Girl. That is who I thought of instantly when I first saw the picture.
Thank you Jacque,
I know that he worked with many deaf people throughout his early film career, and even put some of them in his movies. the most famous being a man names Granville Redmond who Chaplin had great love and respect for.
[img size=400][/img]
In fact, Chaplin's work in the deaf community seemed to gain him much love and respect from all of the deaf community in return.
this may be why Keller chose to seek him out. It's hard to know what they talked about that day or how well they actually knew each other. Some witnesses said that they sat for hours off alone where they seemed to be able to understand each other quite well with their own secret language, and were seen giggling and laughing a lot like children. One witness said Chaplin looked like a child enthralled with his mother.
I hope this finds you well. I don't think we have met.I would like to know more about you and how you became a Chaplin fan. :)

Hello JeTamme, I am an independent filmmaker and became interested in Chaplin for his creative process. But of course, I was a fan long before and his films delighted me even as a child.

Jason Craighead | Self and System
December 5 - January 23, 2016
Opening Reception: December 5th, 6 to 9 pm
Jason Craighead's exhibition of new work at Tinney Contemporary, Self and System, deals with just that, how the sense of self and individualism fits into the greater system of cultural conformity. When it comes to abstract art, many viewers can think that it is impersonal and a semi-intangible experience. Jason Craighead always erases that feeling through his work. "I make work from my heart and nothing is an accident," says Jason Craighead regarding the pieces for this show. "When we choose to seek our very own personal adventure and find our very own personal voice, the cluttered, static, and misleading ideas of a mostly blind society all fall away and our hearts have room to rise."
It is this concept, that of finding a personal voice to erase the structures of our homogenized culture in order to truly free ourselves from mental captivity, that Jason focuses on in this exhibition. He sees his works as smaller parts of the whole spectrum of life, parts of a bigger life. Just as politics, religion, vocational and avocational experiences, etc are all smaller pieces that come together to create this physical life that we live, Jason's works, as he finds the small stories within them that create spaces of hope and peace, formulate the life-spirit by which he lives his personal physical life. He stands against these cookie-cutter facets of life that we all simply drone on within, and he continues to find and express his inner "self" through his art while relating to this greater system of life. Through his artistic exploration and expression, we as viewers are called to find our own personal voice.
Jason's process is one of expressive, emotionally charged mark-making that is raw and honest. Working in mixed media, his exploration of space and line is often compared to the expressionistic, gestural painters of the mid-20th century. Jason Craighead is a recognized leader in the North Carolina art scene and has been an active participant in the Raleigh arts community for many years. His work has been featured in many solo and group exhibitions throughout the Southeastern United States, and is included in many private and public collections throughout the United States and internationally. He is a member of the City of Raleigh Arts Commission and serves on the Grants Committee. He is co-founder of Switchhouse, a working studio space and gallery that he and artist Dave Green completed in the spring of 2014. He grew up in Florida where he studied art at Gulf Coast Community College and Florida State University and has been living in downtown Raleigh, NC for sixteen years. | commoncrawl |
Training Hiring Managers Webinar Overview
Carmen Hudson's webinar "How to Train Your Hiring Manager" openly discusses the struggles of recruiting top tier talent with unprepared hiring managers. Recruiting can put in countless hours and effort to find the best of the best. But if the hiring manager is unclear as to how the process works or unwilling to professionally make the leap to a decision, those efforts can go to waste.
A hiring manager could cost a company not only money, but also important talent. Hudson expertly recognizes hiring managers that don't understand the recruiting process often display these characteristics: unresponsive, no-shows, unprepared for interview, don't provide feedback, and are indecisive.
Hiring decisions are some of the most important business decisions a company makes and therefore all those involved need to be on the same page. Hudson recommends creating a clearly defined process for recruiting. Spell out what steps will be taken at what times during the hiring process. In this way, you can expect hiring managers to be accountable for specific steps along the way.
Avoid setbacks from the beginning by following these steps:
- Ensure the job description is accurate and detailed. This prevents wasting time interviewing candidates that don't have the skills you are looking for but that also aren't listed in the description.
- Engage hiring managers from the start. Their decision and thoughts on candidates that could potentially join their team are important.
- Know when to say no. Some candidates may look great on paper but not meet any expectations during the interview. Say no and move onto the next qualified candidate.
- Move quickly. Time is of the essence when it comes to hiring. Be prepared to offer the position to a candidate in a timely manner to avoid counteroffers from other companies. Efficient communication within the company is key here. EasyHire.me offers the platform necessary to make this communication easy, fast, and clear to move this step along.
- Tap into emotions. What makes you enjoy working for the company? Offer a competitive package, perks, and benefits to entice top talent to your company. The competition in the market is stiff so know what it takes to stand out and do it!
Working with hiring managers is no simple task for recruiting. EasyHire.me makes it easy to keep the decision-makers connected and on the same page.

On September 14, the RFI citing the Financial Times, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) police are using a so-called "anti-fraud app" installed on more than 200 million cell phones to identify and interrogate people browsing overseas financial news websites. The app, launched in March by the National Anti-Fraud Center of the Communist Party's Ministry of Public Security, is said to block suspicious calls and report so-called malware.
Senior Ministry of Public Security official Jiang Guoli said at a June news conference that the app had issued 23 million alert messages within three months of its launch. The app is recommended by China's Ministry of Public Security. But many local government agencies in the communist country mandate their employees, students, tenants, document applicants, and parents who enroll their children in school to install it.
Users must grant 29 permissions to activate the app, which includes real-time monitoring of call logs, text messages, and conversations. Recently, several users have been contacted by police to question them about their overseas connections and whether they regularly visit overseas websites after accessing overseas information providers, including Bloomberg. Yet, the Communist authorities have not clearly indicated how to identify whether an overseas website is a fraud web or not.
The application has already generated thousands of privacy-related complaints online. Of course, many people know that this is an all-encompassing surveillance application and try to refuse to install or remove installed surveillance programs.
No matter how hard the CCP tries to maintain stability and use various excuses to strengthen the monitoring of people's online behavior, it cannot change its fate. The Whistleblower Movement led by Mr. Miles Guo has already shaken the foundation of the CCP's rule.

Today, rail networks across Europe are getting busier, with trains travelling at higher speeds
and carrying more passengers and heavier axle loads than ever before. The combination of these
factors has put considerable pressure on the existing infrastructure, leading to increased
demands in inspection and maintenance of rail assets. The expenditure for inspection and
maintenance has grown steadily over the last few years without however being followed by a
significant improvement in the industry's safety records. As a direct consequence the immediate
key challenges faced by the rail industry are: a) the improvement in the safety of the railway
systems of EU member states, b) the development of new railways to accommodate the continued
growth in demand, and c) contributing to a more sustainable railway, in both environmental and
financial terms, by delivering further efficiencies and exploiting technological innovation.
Although, severe rail accidents are relatively rare within the EU, they do occur. Classification of rail accidents depends on their cause, which can be either a human error or equipment failure. A large number of all rail accidents are equipment-related, whilst a significant proportion of these are due to failed train wheels and axles. The continuous increase in train operating speeds means that catastrophic failure of a wheel or axle may result in very serious derailments, such as the one that took place in Eschede, Germany in 1998. This heavy rail accident caused loss of life, injuries, severe disruption in the operation of the network, damage to the tracks, unnecessary costs, and loss of confidence in rail transport by the general public. In the Eschede accident (Figure 1), a single failed wheel initiated a chain of events that led to the severe derailment of a high-speed train on the route from Munich to Hamburg, causing the death of more than 100 passengers and the severe injury of many others. Although axle failures have been rarer than wheel failures, there seems to be an increase in their frequency over the last few years, mainly attributed to the higher axle loads involved. Figure 2 shows an axle from a freight train that failed resulting in the death of one person and the injury of several others (Rickerscote, UK in 1996).
Figure 1: Photograph showing what was left of the Intercity Express high-speed train
involved in the Eschede accident (Germany) in 1998. Of the 287 passengers in the
train at the time of the accident, 101 died and 88 were severely injured.

It is a well known result in the vision literature that the motion of independently moving objects viewed by an affine camera lie on affine subspaces of dimension four or less. As a result a large number of the recently proposed motion segmentation algorithms model the problem as one of clustering the trajectory data to its corresponding affine subspace. While these algorithms are elegant in formulation and achieve near perfect results on benchmark datasets, they fail to address certain very key real-world challenges, including perspective effects and motion degeneracies. Within a robotics and autonomous vehicle setting, the relative configuration of the robot and moving object will frequently be degenerate leading to a failure of subspace clustering algorithms. On the other hand, while gestalt-inspired motion similarity algorithms have been used for motion segmentation, in the moving camera case, they tend to oversegment or under-segment the scene based on their parameter values. In this paper we present a principled approach that incorporates the strengths of both approaches into a cohesive motion segmentation algorithm capable of dealing with the degenerate cases, where camera motion follows that of the moving object. We first generate a set of prospective motion models for the various moving and stationary objects in the video sequence by a RANSAC-like procedure. Then, we incorporate affine and long-term gestalt-inspired motion similarity constraints, into a multi-label Markov Random Field (MRF). Its inference leads to an over-segmentation, where each label belongs to a particular moving object or the background. This is followed by a model selection step where we merge clusters based on a novel motion coherence constraint, we call in-frame shear, that tracks the in-frame change in orientation and distance between the clusters, leading to the final segmentation. This oversegmentation is deliberate and necessary, allowing us to assess the relative motion between the motion models which we believe to be essential in dealing with degenerate motion scenarios.We present results on the Hopkins-155 benchmark motion segmentation dataset (Tron and Vidal 2007), as well as several on-road scenes where camera and object motion are near identical. We show that our algorithm is competitive with the state-of-the-art algorithms on Tron and Vidal (2007) and exceeds them substantially on the more realistic on-road sequences | commoncrawl |

Customer Reviews
All 3 scents are amazing! The hardest part will be parting with these as I want to keep them for myself.
These sizes are great for gifts. Smell amazing too, obviously!
Honey Tobacco has been a favorite of mine, but I truly love all three!
As always I love everything Honey Tobacco and was so happy to see the gift set with a mini candle and bath soak! A perfect little holiday gift or stocking stuffer!
This is going to be a great Christmas gift
It really is the perfect gift. The candle size is just right for a stocking stuffer!
Price, quality
I've burned the candle three times so far. My biggest concern, and the reason I paid nearly 50$ for a rather small candle, is to avoid candle soot. I haven't noticed any yet so I'm pleased with that! It smells nice but it's very subtle. It doesn't scent the air.
I like it but given that it's small and the scent is not noticeable, I would not repurchase at this price.
Beautiful products- body butter, candle and soap! Lovely rich quality and scent- no guilt ordering from a eco friendly Canadian company! Great service and great start to my Christmas shopping - may have found a few items for my wish list too!
This is my absolutely favourite candle! It smells so good. I get compliments about how nice my place smells all of the time - thank you candle lol! | commoncrawl |

Barack Obama to Couples: Ask for Campaign Donations Instead of Wedding Gifts
Want to make that special day -- your wedding -- even more special?
Well, President Barack Obama has one idea: You can ask your guests to donate to his campaign "in lieu of a gift" with the Obama event registry.
For reals.
Campaign staffer Laura Wilson wrote on Obama's fundraising blog: "Got a birthday, anniversary, or wedding coming up? Let your friends know how important this election is to you -- register with Obama 2012, and ask for a donation in lieu of a gift. It's a great way to support the President on your big day. Plus, it's a gift that we can all appreciate -- and goes a lot further than a gravy bowl."
News of this has apparently been circulating the conservative blogosphere and news media since Team Obama posted the notice Friday, but it was just brought to our attention via Slate.
Though this politicking is being derided as tacky (with good reason) another bit posted on the Obamablog rivals the registry's cheesiness -- Obama's dating tips.
Yes, the leader of the free world is imploring young men to take their romantic interests on long walks, to museums, and to artsy movies: "Guys out there, art, it impresses people," he said.
Michelle said that their first date -- which included an art museum trip and a Spike Lee flick -- "showed all his sides -- he was hip, cutting edge, cultural, sensitive..."
We're still checking into this, but we are not yet aware of a similar Mitt Romney wedding/event registry, so if you happen to know of one, let us know.

Comparative evaluation of conventional and deep learning methods for semi-automated segmentation of pulmonary nodules on CT
Lung cancer (LC) is by far the leading cause of cancer-related death in both genders, accounting for nearly a quarter of all cancer-related fatalities. If we exclude skin cancer, LC is also the second most common neoplastic disorder in both men and women (1). Nonetheless, it is estimated that in the period between 2008 and 2017 the death rate related to LC dropped by 4% and 3% each year respectively for both genders. This trend is likely the consequence of fewer people smoking as well as of medical advances in diagnosis and treatment (1). In particular, it is largely accepted that the overall survival of patients with LC depends a great deal on the disease stage when it is discovered (2,3). A timely diagnosis is therefore critical to improve the outcome of patients with LC.
At an early-stage LC usually appears on computed tomography (CT) as a pulmonary nodule; i.e., a small solid, sub-solid or ground-glass opacity surrounded by normal parenchyma. Pulmonary nodules, however, are not uncommon and only a fraction of them are actually malignant. A recent meta-analysis on six European LC screening trials through low-dose CT reported a prevalence of non-calcified pulmonary nodules between 21.8% and 50.9% (the latter in a high-risk population of heavy smokers or former heavy smokers), whereas that of LC was between 3.8% and 4.7% (4). Discriminating between benign and malignant pulmonary nodules is therefore critical for the clinical management of patients with a positive transcript for pulmonary nodule (5). In this context, computerised analysis of imaging features (radiomics) has been attracting increasing interest in recent years as a means for improving diagnosis, stratification and follow-up (6-11). The big promise of radiomics is to offer a non-invasive, full-field procedure for the characterisation of pulmonary lesions. There is growing evidence that radiomics can improve risk-assessment in the diagnostic settings beyond traditional, manual interpretation (8,12-18).
The radiomics pipeline involves six well-defined sequential steps (19,20): acquisition, preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, post-processing and data analysis. Segmentation (also referred to as delineation) is the problem investigated in this work. This is about separating the part of the scan that has clinical relevance (typically the lesion) from the background. This operation is usually carried out manually by skilled operators, which unfortunately entails a number of drawbacks such as time consumption (therefore cost), repeatability issues and personnel overload. Furthermore, previous studies have reported significant sensitivity of radiomics features to variations in the lesion delineation procedures (21,22). Consequently, automated and/or semi-automated segmentation procedures have attracted widespread research interest.
More generally, the problem belongs to semantic segmentation, the area of computer vision aimed at partitioning an input image into a set of semantically homogeneous areas. Nowadays the approaches to this task can be divided into two main classes: the conventional methods on the one hand (also referred to as hand-designed, engineered or hand-crafted) and those based on deep learning on the other. The conventional methods are usually defined a priori and require little or no training. They typically rely on bespoke mathematical models designed on the basis of some domain-specific knowledge. Lee et al. (23) and Zheng and Lei (24) are interesting reviews of hand-designed methods for lung nodule segmentation featuring thresholding, region growing, watershed, edge detection and active contours. Other engineered approaches include clustering (25), graph-based methods (26), fractal analysis (27), convexity models (28), vector quantisation (29) and a variety of ad hoc solutions as well as combinations of the above methods (30-34). Deep learning approaches differ significantly from the conventional ones in that they employ pre-defined architectures [convolutional neural networks (CNN)] which contain a number of parameters the values of which need to be determined by training (35). The basic blocks of CNN (usually referred to as layers) can be combined in multiple ways to generate several varieties of networks. Deep learning represented a major breakthrough in computer vision and has brought about astounding improvements over the hand-designed methods (36). Of course segmentation of lung nodules has not been immune to these changes, and a number of deep learning solutions have been proposed in the last few years. Wu and Qian (37) features a nice overview of methods; other approaches have been described in a number of recent papers (38-43). The overall pipeline (i.e., network design, training and evaluation) is the common ground of all these works; whereas the main differences are the network architecture and the data used for training and evaluation. To date, however, there are no extensive benchmarks comparing conventional and deep learning methods for automatic segmentation of pulmonary on CT images. Kim et al. (44) is a nice benchmark of five hand-designed methods for semi-automated segmentation of ground-glass nodules, but does not include deep learning; Rocha et al. (39) is also a relevant recent work, but only considers one conventional method (local convergence filter) and two deep learning ones.
In this work we carried out a comprehensive evaluation of the performance of conventional and deep learning methods for semi-automated segmentation of pulmonary nodules on CT. We assumed that the presence of a suspicious nodule had already been determined by a physician, therefore did not investigate the problem of automated nodule detection (45-48). For the segmentation task we considered 24 methods (12 for each of the two classes) and carried out the benchmark on a dataset of 383 images from a study population of 111 patients with positive transcript for suspicious pulmonary nodule. An independent dataset of 259 images based on the LIDC-IDRI repository was also considered. The results indicate that deep learning methods clearly outperformed the hand-designed ones.
A total of 383 planar axial patches of dimension 64 px × 64 px were considered in this study (sample images are shown in Figure 1A,B,C,D). The images were extracted from a population of 111 patients (64 males, 47 females, age =67.5±11.0), all with histologically confirmed benign (n=39) or malignant (n=72) lung lesions, who underwent PET/CT examination for suspicious lung nodules at the Unit of Nuclear Medicine of the Università degli Studi di Sassari, Sassari, Italy, between November 2014 and May 2019. The inclusion criteria were: (I) presence of a clearly identifiable solid nodule at CT; (II) axial diameter between 5 and 40 mm; (III) no previous treatment like surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy for the inspected lesion, and (IV) histologically confirmed malignancy or benignity. Further details on the patient population and segmentation procedure are available in (12). The scans were carried out on a Discovery 710 PET/CT system (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) and the CT imaging settings were: slice thickness 3.75 mm, spacing between slices 3.27 mm, in-plane inter-voxel spacing ~1.37 mm in both directions and image size 512 px × 512 px.
Manual segmentation of the lesions was carried out by a panel of two experts with >10 yr experience in the field. For each nodule we considered all the axial slices where the area of the lesion (determined via manual segmentation) was at least 1 cm3 (>53 px). The original data (in dicom format) were windowed between –1,350 and 150 HU [width: 1,500 HU, level: –600 HU—same display settings used for the manual segmentation—'lung' window of LIFEx (49)] and converted to 8-bit single-channel images in Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format. No further image pre-processing like contrast enhancement, noise removal, smoothing or sharpening was applied. Finally, the data were randomly split into train, validation and test set with approximate proportion of 40%, 30% and 30% (respectively n=150, n=118 and n=115) with the constraint that images from the same patient could not appear in more than one group.
Data augmentation
Data augmentation for training the deep learning models was carried out on the train set in five sequential steps: (I) random rotation by 90°, 180° or 270°; (II) random vertical or horizontal flip; (III) random gamma correction with γ ∈ [0.5, 1.5]; (IV) random Gaussian smoothing with σ ∈ [0.5, 2.0] and (V) addition of random Gaussian noise with σ=0.025 and amplitude of the error rescaled to 255. The effects on a sample image are shown in Figure 2A,B,C,D,E,F. The steps were carried out in the above sequence and in a recursive manner—i.e., the output of one step was the input to the following one, the input to the first step being the original images of the train or validation group. At each step half of the images was randomly picked for augmentation while the remaining half passed on to the following step unchanged. The final number of images in the augmented train set was 1,127.
Independent evaluation dataset
An independent evaluation dataset based on the LIDC-IDRI repository (50,51) was also considered in the present study. This included 259 planar axial patches again of dimension 64 px × 64 px from 100 CT scans representing solid and sub-solid nodules (texture index ≥4). For compatibility with the in-house dataset described above, only scans with slice thickness between 3.0 and 4.0 mm were considered; furthermore, the windowing and resampling settings used to convert the original dicom data from Hounsfield Units to grey-scale values also remained unchanged.
The reference segmentation of each nodule (ground-truth) was obtained by blending the annotations available within the LIDC-IDRI dataset at a consensus level of 0.5. Therefore, a voxel was considered 'lesion' if it was marked as such in at least half of the annotations available for the corresponding nodule, 'not-lesion' otherwise.
Data availability
For reproducible research purposes, all the images and segmentation masks (ground truth) of the proprietary and independent dataset are available as supplementary material (respectively 'LNSEG-SSR-1.zip' and 'LNSEG-LIDC-IDRI-SSR-1.zip').
Segmentation procedure
The proposed semi-automatic ('one-click') procedure only requires the user to select a point around the centre of the region of interest (Figure 3). It works as follows: (I) on the region of interest (Figure 3A) the user selects a seed point around the centre of the nodule (Figure 3B); (II) the segmentation algorithm partitions the input image into a number of connected regions (blobs—Figure 3C) and (III) only the blob containing the seed pixel is retained whereas the others are discarded (Figure 3D). Depending on the specific algorithm used (step 2) the seed point can also be an input the segmentation algorithm.
Conventional approaches
We considered 12 classic image segmentation approaches as detailed below (see Figure 4 for a taxonomy). For the methods that depend on parameters (Table 1) the optimal values were determined via grid search over the train and validation images using Sørensen-Dice coefficient (DSC) as the target measure (more on this in "Experiments").

Active contours
The basic idea behind active contour models (or snakes) is deforming an initial curve towards the boundary of the region/object to be detected. The starting curve can be either internal or external to the region of interest; as a result the contour will either expand or shrink toward the boundary of the object. The evolution of the curve is governed by some functional F, defined in a way such as that the minimum of F falls on the boundary of the region of interest. In their original formulation active contours required solving a system of partial differential equations (PDE), which is computationally expensive and prone to numerical instability. Later on it was shown that solving the PDE could be avoided by using morphological operators (45). These proved infinitesimally equivalent to the PDE but computationally cheaper and free from instability problems. Here we considered two morphology-based implementation of active contours; in both cases the initial curve was a circle of radius r=3 px centred on the pixel selected by the user (see Figure 3B).
Morphological active contours without edges (MorphACWE)
This model, originally proposed by Chan and Vese (52), is based on the assumption that the image to segment is formed by two regions of approximately uniform intra-region intensities different from one another. Say the contour splits the image into and inside and outside region, and let these be Ci and Co respectively. Let also F(Ci), F(Co) indicate the sum of the within-region absolute difference between the intensity of each pixel and the average intensity over that region. The functional is defined as F = λ1F(Ci) + λ2F(Co), were λ1, λ2 are two positive parameters to be determined. In (52) the authors recommended λ1=λ2=1.0; in our experiments we sought the best combination through grid search over λ1, λ2 ∈ {1.0, 2.0, 4.0}, which returned λ1=1.0, λ2=4.0 as the optimal values. Another parameter to set is the number of iterations to run (Ni), for which we found the optimal value Ni=10 again through grid search over Ni ∈ {10, 20, 40}.
Morphological geodesic active contours (MorphGAC)
In GAC the minimisation of F leads to determining a geodesic curve in a Riemannian space in which the metric is induced by some image features, like the edges (53,54). The parameters to tune, in this case, are the number of iterations to run (Ni, same as in MorphACWE) and the balloon force (fb). The latter guides the contour in the regions of the image where the gradient is too small (negative values will shrink the contour, positive values will expand it). The optimal value fb=0.5 was determined via grid search over fb ∈ {–1.0, –0.5, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0}. As for MorphACWE we found the optimal number of iterations Ni=10 via grid search over Ni ∈ {10, 20, 40}.
This is a classic approach to clustering—i.e., given an arbitrary number of observations and k classes choose k points (cluster centroids) such as that the sum of the distance between each point and the closest centroid is minimal (55). In image segmentation the point coordinates are usually the colour triplets or the intensity values in the case of grey-scale images. In the original formulation the algorithms starts by randomly choosing k initial centroids and by assigning each point to the closest centroid. Then at each step the centroids are recomputed as the centres of mass of the points assigned to each of them. The process exits when there is no point reassignment at some step, or if the maximum allowed number of iterations is reached. The main input parameter to the algorithm is the number of classes, which we determined through grid search over k ∈ {4, 8, 12, 16}. This returned k=8 as the optimal value. For cluster initialisation we used 'k-means++' selection (56) which improves convergence.
Simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC)
This iterative clustering algorithm (57) is an evolution of the K-means with two major differences: (I) it employs a weighted distance that combines colour (luminance in this case) and spatial proximity; (II) searches a limited region around the nearest cluster, whereas K-means searches the entire image. The balance between intensity and space proximity is regulated by a compactness parameter c, with higher values giving more weight to space proximity. The algorithm starts by sampling k initial cluster centroids on a regular grid across the input image, then at each step associates each pixel to the nearest centre within the search region. There are two input parameters to SLIC: the number of clusters (also referred to as 'superpixels') and the compactness—respectively k and m in the notation used in (57). The best combination was determined via grid search over k ∈ {4, 8, 12, 16} and c ∈ {0.1, 1, 10, 100}, which returned k=16 and c=1.0.
Felsenszwalb's graph-based image segmentation
Consider G = (V, E) an undirected graph where the vertices vi ∈ V represent the elements (pixels) to be segmented and the edges eij = (vi, vj) the connections between pairs of elements. Let also wij be the weight associated with each such connections, which, for greyscale images is the absolute difference between the intensity level of the connected pixels. Define a segmentation S as a partition of V into components Ck ∈ S such that each Ck is a connected component in a sub-graph of G. Say a segmentation S is too fine when there is some pairs of regions Ca, Cb for which there is no evidence of a boundary between them, and too coarse if there exists a refinement of S that is not too fine. A segmentation produced by Felzenszwalb's method obeys the properties of being not too coarse or too fine (58). The main parameter governing the algorithm is the scale of observation s, with higher values resulting in fewer and larger segments. Here we determined the optimal value s=2.0 through grid-search over s ∈ {0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0}. We also set a minimum area threshold Am =25 px as a cut-off value for the resulting segments, and σ=1 as the standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel used in preprocessing.
Region growing
Flood fill
Flood fill generates blobs by merging adjacent pixels based on their similarity to an initial seed. Conceptually, this is very similar to the 'paint bucket' tool available in many graphic editors. The input parameters are: the seed pixel (which is selected manually by the operator—see Figure 3B), the connectivity (d) and the tolerance (τ). The connectivity determines the neighbourhood of each pixel, and, consequently the possible path(s) that link the target pixels to the seed: adjacent pixels whose mutual distance is less than or equal to d are considered neighbours. The tolerance establishes the range within which the target pixels and the seed are considered equal: pixels connected to the seed and with values within ±τ from that of the seed are merged. In the experiments we determined the optimal values d=1 and τ=16 through grid search respectively over d ∈ {1, 2} and τ ∈ {2, 4, 8, 16}.
Thresholding consists of partitioning the input image by applying one or more cut-off values (thresholds) on the grey-level intensities. Given a set of thresholds ti: {0 ≤ t1, …, tN ≤ 2n–1} the 0-, N- and i-th class respectively will be the sets of pixels having grey-level intensities below t1, above or equal to tN and in the [ti, ti+1] interval, where n indicates the bit depth of the input image. The case N=1 is usually referred to as single-level thresholding, the case N>1 as multi-level thresholding. Here we considered three classic single-level thresholding methods (Otsu's, Kapur's and Kittler's) and the multi-level version of Otsu's.
Otsu's is possibly one of the most used approaches to image thresholding. The method seeks the value that minimizes the weighted sum of the between-class variance in the background and foreground pixels (59). It gives satisfactory results when the intensity distribution approaches a bimodal and the relative proportion of foreground and background is approximately the same for the two classes (60).
This method, also referred to as entropic thresholding (60,61), considers the grey-level histograms of the foreground and background classes as signals, and seeks the value that maximises the sum of the entropy of the two signals (62).
This is an extension of Otsu's approach for N>1: in this case the algorithm seeks the set of threshold values that minimise the weighted sum of the parwise between-class variance (63). The optimal number of classes N=4 was determined via grid search over N ∈ {3, 4}.
Maximally stable extremal regions (MSER)
MSER are a method for blob detection originally introduced by Matas et al. (64). The basic idea behind MSER is the following. Imagine we binarize a greyscale image with a variable threshold; as the threshold varies within a given range (let ∆ be the range) there will be some connected components of the binarized image that will remain approximately the same: these are stable regions. Among them, maximally stable regions are those exhibiting the lowest area variation when the threshold varies. A stable region is also extremal if the intensity of all its pixels is either higher (bright extremal regions) or lower (dark extremal regions) than that of the surrounding pixels.
In the experiments the value of ∆ was determined through grid search over ∆ ∈ {2, 4, 6, 8}, which returned ∆=2 as the optimal value. The other parameters were: minimum (maximum) area cut-off value for the detected blobs =10 px (25% of the area of the input image), maximum variation (absolute stability score) of the regions =0.25 and minimum diversity =0.2 (when the relative area difference between two nested regions was below this threshold only the most stable one was retained).
In watershed segmentation the input image is regarded as an elevation map, that is to say the equivalent of a topographic landscape with ridges and valleys. The objective of the algorithm is to decompose the image into catchment basins and watersheds (65,66). Formally, for a local minimum m, a catchment basin is defined as the set of pixels which are topographically closer to m—i.e., those pixels having the path of steepest descent terminates at m. The procedure requires an external input from the user who needs to select a marker within the region of interest (see Figure 3). Although the method can be applied to the original greyscale image with no pre-processing, it usually works better if a gradient operator is applied first. This proved true for the application studied here, therefore we preliminary computed the local gradient using a circular neighbourhood of radius r=2 px. The value was determined through grid search over r ∈ {2, 3, 4}. As in SLIC, the segmentation results can be further improved by introducing a compactness parameter c: in this case the tuning returned c=0.1 as the optimal value after grid search over c ∈ {0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 100.0}.

We assembled 12 CNN by combining four standard segmentation models and three well-known backbone encoders as detailed in the following subsections (see also Table 2 for a round-up). By design we kept the input size (receptive field) of each network as close as possible to that of the corresponding backbone encoder while complying with the constraints given by the segmentation models used. [Specifically, Feature Pyramid Networks (FPN), LinkNet and U-Net require the height and width of the input images to be multiple of 32; PSPNet to be multiple of 48]. Albeit this restriction is not strictly necessary, we made this choice because the backbone encoders come with pre-trained weights optimised for their native resolutions. Consequently, we rescaled the input (greyscale) and output (segmented) images accordingly. Also, since all the backbone architecture used are designed for three-channel images, we preliminary converted the input grey-scale images by repeating the two-dimensional array along the third dimension. Finally, we considered nodule segmentation as a one-class classification problem, therefore defined the output of each network as a single-channel layer with sigmoid activation. The final labels were generated by rounding the output to the nearest integer (0= not nodule, 1= nodule).

Segmentation models
CNN for image segmentation typically rely on an encoder-decoder architecture (59). The encoder (down-sampling or contracting path) gradually reduces the size of the representation while capturing semantic/contextual information; the decoder (up-sampling or expanding path) projects back the representation to its original size, this way producing pixel-wise predictions. The basic building blocks of CNN for image segmentation are convolutional, pooling and transposed (backwards) convolutional layers. Other elements like skip connections enable direct links between the down-sampling and up-sampling path (62,67). A number of variations on this idea have been proposed in the literature, and in this work we considered four different architectures: U-Net, LinkNet, FPN and Pyramid Scene Parsing Network (PSPNet). Below we summarise the basics of each architecture and refer the reader to the given references for further details and technicalities.
U-Net and LinkNet have a very similar structure—that of a 'ladder' network (68). In this architecture the encoder and decoder ideally represent the rails of the ladder and the rungs their connections. The U-Net has symmetric contracting and expanding paths, and concatenates the feature maps from the encoder to the corresponding up-sampled maps from the decoder by copy and crop (69,70). This allows the decoder to reconstruct relevant features that are lost when pooled in the encoder. The LinkNet (71) has a very similar layout and differs from the U-Net only for a number of minor changes in the encoder and decoder structure.
Differently from U-Net and LinkNet, FPN and PSPNet are based on combining information at different resolutions via pyramidal decomposition. This concept, which was for long a mainstay of image analysis during the hand-designed era (72,73), translates seamlessly to deep learning due to the intrinsically multi-resolution nature of convolutional networks. FPN were originally designed for multi-scale object detection (74), an objective they achieve by computing feature maps of different size with a scaling ratio of two. This architecture was later on adapted to semantic segmentation by resizing each-single scale prediction to the field-of-view of the network and summing up the results [panoptic configuration (75)]. Pyramid Parsing Networks (76) work on a similar idea, but in this case they obtain the pyramidal decompositions by pooling the feature map produced by the encoder at different sizes. They then feed the results to a convolution layer which up-samples the results to make them the same size as receptive field of the network.
Encoder backbones
For the encoder backbones we employed the fully-convolutional version of three well-established architectures: ResNet34, InceptionV3 and MobileNet. These models have been described at length in a number of papers (36,77-79) therefore we shall not go into further details here. Let us just recall that the residual networks (ResNets) were specifically designed for accuracy, the MobileNets for computational efficiency, and the Inception for a balance between the two. For all the models the starting values of the weights were those resulting from training the original CNN on the ImageNet dataset [ILSVRC 2020 (80)]. Further details about the implementation are given in the Experiments.
We evaluated two different training strategies: (I) full training, in which all the trainable parameters of the networks were liable to be modified during the training phase; and (II) fine tuning, where only the decoder parameters could be modified. In both cases the starting values for the encoder weights were the pre-defined ones obtained by training on the ImageNet dataset. We used Adam optimisation with an initial learning rate of 0.001 and exponential decay rate for the first and second moment estimates respectively of 0.9 and 0.999. The target function for the optimisation process was Dice loss (definition to follow). We processed the train and validation images by batches of two, allowed a maximum of 50 epochs and triggered early stopping if the validation loss did not improve by more than 0.5% for more than five consecutive epochs.
Evaluation metrics
Following the same approach adopted in related works (33,41,44) we used Sørensen-Dice coefficient (DSC in the remainder) as the primary metric for evaluating the overlap between the manually segmented regions (ground truth) and the automatically segmented ones. For any two finite sets A, B DSC is defined as follows (81):
where |X| indicates the cardinality of X. Let us recall that DSC has values in [0, 1], and that 1 indicates perfect overlap between A and B; 0 no overlap. The Dice loss is (1 – DSC).
Statistical analysis
All the methods were pairwise evaluated through non-parametric Wilcoxon-Mann-Withney test at a significance level α=0.05 by comparing the DSC achieved by the two methods on each image tested. For each comparison a +1 was assigned to the best method if one of the two was significantly better than the other, nil to the other. In case of a tie (no statistically significant difference between the two methods) both received nil. An overall ranking was finally determined by summing up the points received by each method and sorting accordingly (see Tables 3,4).

Implementation and execution
We carried out the experiments on a laptop PC equipped with Intel® CoreTM i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60 GHz, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro T1000 (4 GB) graphic card and Windows 10 Pro 64-bit operating system. For the coding we used Python 3.8.6 with functions from scikit-image 0.17.2 (82) and scikit-learn 0.23.3 (83) for the implementation of the hand-designed methods, and from the Segmentation Models package (84) for the deep networks. The training of all the CNN took approximately 15 hrs using GPU acceleration; parameter optimisation for the conventional methods less than 1 h.
Tables 3-5 and Figures 5,6 summarise the results of the experiments. As can be seen, there is little doubt that the methods based on deep learning outperformed the conventional ones. Notably, even the worst-performing full-trained network (FPN-MobileNet, Table 4) attained better average DSC than the best-performing engineered approach (MorphACWE, Table 3). The box-plots in Figures 5,6 also indicate that the deep learning methods had much narrower dispersion than the engineered ones. As for the convolutional networks, the combinations U-Net/LinkNet segmentation models with ResNet34/MobileNet encoder backbones provided the best results. It is also evident from Table 4 that training the whole networks (full-training) was preferable to training the decoder only (fine-tuning). We also explored the effects of data augmentation and observed that this improved the overall outcome—as one would expect (Table 5). Notably, the difference was higher for the ResNet34 backbone encoder than the MobileNet, a result consistent with the higher complexity of the former.

To assess any potential correlation between segmentation accuracy and nodule size we split the test set into three size groups based on the axial diameter of the nodules: axial diameter between 5.0 and 16.1 mm (1st tercile), between 16.1 and 22.5 mm (2nd tercile) and between 22.5 and 40 mm (3rd tercile). Then we tested the four best-performing approaches (two conventional and two based on deep learning) on the three groups. The results (Figure 7) indicate that the methods based on deep learning were generally superior to the conventional ones in all the three groups.
The overall performance of the 10 best-performing methods (five conventional and five based on deep learning) was also evaluated on the external test set based on the LIDC-IDRI repository ("Methods" section). We can see from Table 6 that the results obtained on this dataset confirm the overall trend—i.e., that convolutional networks achieved higher performance. Among the hand-designed methods it is to note the good results achieved by MorphACWE.

Figure 8 shows the ground truth (manual segmentation) along with the segmentation results obtained with the three best performing engineered methods (MorphACWE, Felzenszwalb and Watershed) and the three best deep networks (U-Net-ResNet34, U-Net-MobileNet and LinkNet-ResNet34) respectively on one juxta-pleural, one juxta-vascular and one well-circumscribed nodule.
As for the computational demand (Figure 9), we found that the convolutional networks were significantly slower than the conventional methods, as one would reasonably expect. Furthermore, training the networks was significantly more demanding than finding the best parameter combinations for the conventional methods.
Albeit the figures are not directly comparable due to differences in the experimental settings and data, it is nonetheless useful to analyse our results in the context of the recent literature. We see that Rocha et al. (39) achieved 0.830 DSC with a custom U-Net architecture (which is close to the best result obtained here), Huang et al. (41) 0.793 with a customised fully-convolutional network based on VGG16 (85) as encoder backbone, and Wang et al. (43) 0.822 again with a bespoke convolutional network. As for hand-designed methods, Mukhopaday (86) recorded average 0.610 DSC through a multi-step hand-designed approach, Rocha et al. (39) 0.663 with sliding band filter, Lassen et al. (87) 0.684 again with a tailored multi-step procedure, and Kim et al. (44) 0.808 by level-set active contours (note that the latter two were obtained respectively on sub-solid and ground-glass nodules).
During the last few years research in the field has been gradually shifting its focus from conventional approaches to deep learning methods. The classic methods employ hand-designed data transformations (feature engineering) which are based on some domain-specific knowledge. These methods tend to be computationally cheap and require little or no training. Deep learning, on the other hand, can automatise the feature engineering process—provided that enough data are available. This goal is achieved through the combination of standard basic modules (layers) which contain a number of parameters whose values need to be determined via training. One major advantage of this procedure is that it simplifies the processing pipeline by replacing it with a standard, end-to-end learning model. The question investigated in this paper was the following: is it possible to put together convolutional networks in a relatively simple way, train them on reasonably small amount of data and obtain segmentation accuracy comparable or better than provided by conventional methods? Our results suggest a positive answer, and also indicated a resounding superiority of the deep learning approaches. We think this outcome is remarkable, particularly if we consider that the convolutional networks used here were based on combinations of standard segmentation models and backbone encoders, and that we trained the nets on a relatively small amount of data. This also casts doubts whether designing task-specific convolutional models is strictly necessary, provided that the combination of existing architectures trained on domain-specific data seems to give satisfactory results.
Segmentation of lung nodules is a crucial step in the radiomics pipeline and plays an important role in the management of patients with suspect LC. Unfortunately, the process is tedious and time-consuming when performed manually, puts a lot of pressure on the personnel and suffers from a number of drawbacks such as subjective evaluation and lack of repeatability. Furthermore, the task is complicated by the great variability of the shape, size, texture and location of the nodules. In this paper we have presented a pipeline for semi-automated segmentation of pulmonary nodules which requires very little intervention from the user. The proposed solution can be wired with conventional, hand-designed image descriptors as well as deep learning methods. The main objective of this work was to comparatively evaluate the effectiveness of these two classes. To this end we considered 12 conventional segmentation methods and as many deep learning architectures. The main outcome was the clear superiority of the deep learning methods over the hand-designed ones. Although this was not unexpected—actually the recent literature already points in that direction (39,41,43)—it was certainly remarkable that state-of-the-art performance could be achieved via standard deep learning architectures and by training them on a relatively small amount of data.
Although the results found here are interesting and promising, the present work is not exempt from limitations. Among them are the relatively small sample size and the fact that our datasets was mostly composed of solid nodules. The results should therefore validated in future larger studies featuring also sub-solid and ground-glass nodules. Although the superiority of deep learning was clear in this work, it seems reasonable to speculate that at least some of the knowledge developed during the hand-crafted era could be conveniently carried over to the new age. One interesting direction for future studies could therefore be the integration of deep learning with conventional methods for the segmentation of lung nodules. The discussion on the segmentation accuracy as a function of nodule location was based on visual (qualitative) evaluation of the results: a quantitative analysis could be another interesting subject for future studies.

I received some good news in my email, that I passed my third level sanskrit exam conducted by Samskrita Bharathi USA. Last weekend, I received an email saying the results would be announced in a couple of days. The nervousness I experienced whenever I received an email alert over the next couple of days made me think I should not write anymore exams. I was also curious to know the result, so I kept checking the messages frequently even if I did not receive any notification. But finally the results did come, I did do decent and passed the exam. But I am pretty much sure I will not write anymore exam for the next one year. The last level Kovida is really hard and I need to put in more effort. I cannot do that with so many distractions going around me. I also have to train myself, that I am calm before the exam, during the exam and when I get the results. It is not worth loosing one's mental and physical health over an examination. If you want to know more and learn sanskrit please check out here.
This week we decided to start intermittent fasting. I did loose lot of pounds the past two years, but this is to maintain what I have lost. My husband is joining me in this and it is basically for the general health. We have started with 12 hours and let us see where it takes our family.
My special one has been cooking Tuesdays and Thursdays now regularly with my prompt and help. I can now say with confidence that I have got that into our routine and we pretty much sure will not fall of this cooking wagon. I have two instant pots and he is getting fluent with both. Indian cooking has lot of spices and it is going to take a lot of time for him to be independent, but in due course he can learn that too . I am taking pictures and making into face book reels. This is really difficult. I salute all the you tubers who devote their time to it. But taking pictures and going back to reels make me remember the dishes I made with him. I also post on my status and I am glad many of my friends have supported me. This really is encouraging and helps me keep going.
March is here but we have had a mild winter. We did not clean snow at all this season. Will the weather remain the same or have some surprises. Will have to wait and see. Eagerly waiting to go to nurseries and garden centers to shop for seeds and plants. | commoncrawl |

one of the most thrilling pieces of scenery on the island the magnificent view of agia pelagia from ' megali volta ' with cavo malia and mainland greece keeping an eye on things !
submitted by Stephen Trifyllis on 18.09.2017
one of the many fire fighting trucks and men that battled the 2017 fires on the island but the road to mylopotamo both sides was extensively burnt .. but it will grow back now lets hope for plenty of winter rain ...!
one of the villages that the fire approached the houses at Areoi near mylopotamos..
the view from the aroniathika fire look out [ that was also burnt in the recent fires] the villages of aroniathika , friligianika , and kastrianika that were in danger of fire, as you can see a large area of land that was destoyed by this summers fires . the fire started near the kythera hospital , but once again great work by firemen and locals that helped fight the fires ...
the once beautiful waterfall at mylopotamos is now reduced to what resembles a swamp , in all my years of going to kythera i have never seen the waterfall with no water at all , in other yrears it was a treat to jump in the cold water on a hot summers day swim over to the falling water and sit there and cool off , but now the water is polluted , filled with leaves , bits of wood and full of rubbish , the still water smells, its a crying shame it looks like this , all the natural springs of kythera should be maintained as they are a feature of the island in the summer months , even the spring on the way to agia pelagia [ gallani ] is almost dry with only a small trickel of water , there are two stories circulating the island as why the once lush abundant spring waters of kythera have come to a stand still, one is the lack of rain water the last few years [ not knowing of springs but i thought it was natural water from below ground water springs ] and two that the spring waters have been diverted to peoples proerety to water crops, water for animals . and general watering conditions in villages around where the springs are !!! if this is the case people that are doing this should be exposed and severly fined for destroying the natural beauty of the island . the water fall at mylopotamo has damaged part of the beauty of that village . lets hope when we all visit the island again the springs are running with water and hopefully the spring in trifyllianika runs with water again as it stopped many years ago , this is part of what the council of kythera should be protecting, but as usaual the new council that is governing the island is not any better to previous councils , common on mr. mayor do somthing about our once lovely springs and get them running again .....

sad scenes all over the island of the remains of the current fires that swept through the island in early august , thankfully no lives or houses were lost, a big thank you to all those firemen local and from mainland greece that fought the fires .. that with no boat from athens made it a tough time for our island but people still smiled through it ,

India Should Use Saudi Arabia to Set Up Dialogue With Pakistani Military Leaders, Says Former Envoy
The former ambassador was of the view that it was time for both countries to work together in Afghanistan. He also suggested that India should take on the role of trying to bridge the gap between Iran and Saudi.

New Delhi: Former ambassador to Saudi Arabia Talmiz Ahmad has said that India must look to working on regional security with visiting crown prince Mohammad Bin Salman.
"We should not see this visit in the context of the recent development in Pulwama. We have a very substantial relationship with the kingdom that goes back several centuries. It is a very substantial and mutually important relationship. This relationship has very important energy and economic aspects," he said.
He added that up to now, the relationship was purely looked through the prism of energy and economics and that during former PM Manmohan Singh's visit to Saudi Arabia in 2010, counter-terrorism cooperation was discussed. But now, he added, it was time for both countries to talk of regional security.
"A civilian government in Pakistan makes no difference. We need to discuss the Kashmir issue with the Pakistani armed forces. And we know that Saudi kingdom has good ties with the Pakistani armed forces. This is an important aspect which should be looked at. We have to see how to go to the root cause, which is Pakistani armed forces' affiliation with jihad as state policy. It is the source of insecurity and instability across the region," he said.
The former ambassador was also of the view that it was time for both countries to work together in Afghanistan. "We have never partnered with Saudi in Afghanistan. Saudi is playing a very important back-channel role when it comes to Afghanistan. Indian authorities should set up an engagement platform with Saudi when it comes to Afghanistan. We have the same position — that we want a united Afghanistan that has at peace with itself and is poised for prosperity," Ahmad elaborated.
Touching upon a sensitive issue, Ahmad also suggested India take on the role of trying to bridge the gap between Iran and Saudi. Talking about how the countries view each other as threats, Ahmad said India had solid ties with both nations and that was to be put to good use in terms of easing out tensions between the two nations.
"All visits are part of a process. This particular visit, if it is to have any value, should mark the beginning of India-Saudi collaboration in maintaining regional security and stability. It is something that we have not explored before. The process needs to start and the leadership should be convinced that this is something that needs to be explored," Ahmad said.

Is Call of Duty: Black Ops III Cross Platform?
Published on :
- XBox One
- Series X
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, released in 2015, predates the widespread adoption of cross-platform play in gaming. This means that unlike some newer Call of Duty titles, Black Ops 3 doesn't allow players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC to compete in the same online matches.
While cross-platform functionality wasn't a major consideration at the time, it has become a game-changer for many titles in recent years, allowing friends to team up regardless of their chosen platform.
This article explores whether Call of Duty Black Ops 3, released in 2015, supports cross-platform gameplay, a feature that allows players on different consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, PC) to compete online together.
This functionality has become increasingly desired by gamers in recent years, as it facilitates playing with friends regardless of their preferred platform. Unlike some newer Call of Duty titles, Black Ops 3 doesn't offer cross-platform support, reflecting the fact that this feature wasn't as widely adopted in the gaming landscape at the time of the game's release.
Is Black Ops 3 Cross Play?
Unlike some newer Call of Duty titles, Black Ops 3 doesn't allow players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC to team up or compete against each other in online multiplayer matches.
This limitation might be a disappointment for gamers who want to play with friends on different platforms, but it reflects the fact that cross-platform play wasn't as widely adopted at the time of the game's release.
What are the reasons behind the absence of cross-platform functionality in Black Ops 3?
Adding cross-play to games can be complex. It requires developers and console makers to work together to make sure the servers for different platforms can communicate and that players with different controllers have a fair shot at winning.
In the past, there were also business reasons why some companies might not have wanted cross-play, such as if they had deals with specific console makers to offer exclusive content.
When Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 came out in 2015, online console gaming services like PlayStation Network and Xbox Live operated independently. This meant games like Black Ops 3 couldn't offer cross-platform play, where people on different consoles compete together.
The idea of gamers playing across platforms wasn't popular with major game companies until recently. Games like Fortnite helped change that by showing how cross-play can create a more inclusive online gaming experience.
Is it possible to transfer my game progress from one platform to another?
Black Ops 3 doesn't allow you to move your progress, like unlocked items or achievements, between different platforms (PlayStation, Xbox, PC). This is because your progress is tied to your account on that specific platform (like PSN ID or Steam account).
What are the steps for engaging in cross-platform play in Black Ops 3?
Black Ops 3 currently doesn't support cross-play functionality. If Activision adds this feature in a future update or releases a remastered version with cross-play, then instructions on setting it up would be available online.
Possible Procedures to Activate Cross-Play in Upcoming Updates or Editions:
- COD Account: Having a Call of Duty account could potentially track your stats across platforms.
- Adding Friends: You might be able to add friends using unique IDs regardless of their platform (PlayStation, Xbox, PC).
- Enabling Cross-Play: A "settings" menu (often indicated by a gear icon) might have a cross-play option to activate.
- Playing Together: Once set up, your online team could include friends from different platforms.
Possible Solutions?
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, released in 2015, predates the widespread adoption of cross-play functionality in gaming. It's important to stick to official channels for online play, as attempting to bypass these limitations through unofficial methods could result in account suspensions or bans.

Thankfully, the feature has become more prominent in recent Call of Duty releases. Games like Modern Warfare (2023) and Warzone offer cross-play functionality, letting players team up or fight against each other regardless of their preferred platform.
A Ray of Hope for Upcoming Titles
While Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, doesn't support cross-play, newer titles in the franchise have embraced this feature.
Games like Modern Warfare II and Warzone allow players on different platforms to team up or compete online, reflecting the growing popularity of cross-play in recent years.
ill Black Ops 3 ever get cross-play?
There haven't been any official announcements about adding cross-play to Black Ops 3.
Does Black Ops 3 support cross-play in 2023?
No, Black Ops 3 doesn't currently allow players on different consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, PC) to play together online.
Do any Call of Duty games offer cross-play?
Yes, newer Call of Duty titles like Warzone and Modern Warfare support cross-play, letting players team up or compete against each other regardless of their platform. | commoncrawl |

Dr. Paluvoi's office was very busy - we had about half an hour wait - but he treated me as if I was the only patient there. He spent as much time explaining and answering my questions as I wanted. His office was also very on top of receiving and confirming my ZocDoc appointment request.

Family Physician
check in/MA- nice, took me back right away. Knew her job Dr Marpu- straight to the point, and very thorough. I do wish she was personable, and her bedside manner could use some improving. Phlebotomist- customer service skills need improving. Had no problem expressing lack of confidence in drawing my blood. I've been to this office a few times. Overall, customer service is mediocre. I like an office that treats you more like a friend, that's how my doctor was back home. I would go back to Dr. Marpu if I get a cold or something similar. For my annual exam, I will go elsewhere.

Övrig information
Alice Taylor lives in the village of Innishannon in County Cork, in a house attached to the local supermarket and post office. Since her eldest son has taken over responsibility for the shop, she has been able to devote more time to her writing. Alice Taylor worked as a telephonist in Killarney and Bandon. When she married, she moved to Innishannon where she ran a guesthouse at first, then the supermarket and post office. She and her husband, Gabriel Murphy, who sadly passed away in 2005, had four sons and one daughter. In 1984 she edited and published the first issue of Candlelight, a local magazine which has since appeared annually. In 1986 she published an illustrated collection of her own verse. To School Through the Fields was published in May 1988. It was an immediate success, and quickly became the biggest selling book ever published in Ireland. It launched Alice on a series of signing sessions, talks and readings the length and breadth of Ireland. Her first radio interview, forty two minutes long on RTE Radio's Gay Byrne Show, was the most talked about radio programme of 1988, and her first television interview, of the same length, was the highlight of the year on RTE television's Late Late Show. Since then she has appeared on radio programmes such as Woman's Hour, Midweek and The Gloria Hunniford Show, and she has been the subject of major profiles in the Observer and the Mail on Sunday. Alice has written nearly twenty books since then, large exploring her village of Inishannon, and the way of life in rural Ireland. She has also written poetry and fiction: her first novel, The Woman of the House, was an immediate bestseller in Ireland, topping the paperback fiction lists for many weeks. One of Ireland's most popular authors, her most recent book is And Life Lights Up. | commoncrawl |
ColbyKnox – Full Service Flip-Fuck with Taylor & Calvin
Calvin Banks Taylor Reign. Massage oil. The ColbyKnox pool. We need nothing else. This site is a great place to start! Today's video updates show Calvin on his stomach. Taylor is standing over Calvin, massaging his back. Taylor asks, "How's it going?" Calvin mumbles contentment. Taylor removes the towel that was covering his genitals. Taylor rubs his perfect legs. Calvin murmurs, "It feels so great." Taylor climbs onto the table and takes off his shirt to knead Calvin's cake. Both lads get horny from all this rubbing. Taylor is standing in front of Calvin, while Calvin zips up his shorts. Calvin is able to see the details when Taylor's tool comes out. Calvin opens his mouth and suckles away. He snorts and swallows the balls. Spit is dribbling from his mouth, as Taylor reach down to grab Calvin's booty. Taylor questions, "Do you want me to put my back on?" Calvin agrees and they have a good time, exchanging spit. Calvin's throat is filled with Taylor's rod. He eats his beefy steak like the hotties of 69. Finally, Taylor eats Calvin's hole. Taylor insists that you "Flip over." Calvin is a self-described "big dick bottom" and can't wait for his dirty laundry to be revealed. Taylor replies, "Show me your sex," Calvin reaches for his hole and prepares it for the bigger reward. Calvin moans as Taylor puts his head into the narrow opening. Taylor's moans grow louder as he falls. Calvin murmurs, "Fuck! "Stretch it out. Oh my god. It's right there. Taylor digs as deeply as possible to make sure Calvin is feeling every stroke. He whimpers, "Fucking give me it," Calvin kneels down on his hands. Taylor enjoys a small snack, but Calvin soon regains his energy. "Fuck. It feels great, Calvin said. "Right there. Calvin needs his sex abused and his genitals broken. Taylor commands, "Take it dick." Calvin is a sucker for getting his sock stuffed. But he also wants the opportunity to get it done. He whispers, "Give me mine now," Taylor raises his legs and offers his hole to Calvin. Taylor is first to be tapped, and he prepares for the assault. Taylor gave. He now takes. "Fuck. He wriggles. Taylor's flawless ass is smashed by Calvin's large nuts. Calvin has more control when he folds his body in half. Calvin asks, "You're going cum for me?" Taylor beats his meat and his spot is pulverized. Taylor loses weight, with man juice hitting his abdomen and fingers. Calvin follows. Taylor's hole is unlocked when he pulls himself out. Taylor is amazed by all the seeds Calvin has lost, and a stream rushes through it. Taylor puts the tool in his pocket and the two of them kiss. Calvin is holding Taylor's man-juice-covered rod. Both of them are tired and worn out. We hope you feel the same. | commoncrawl |
In California, balconies are a common addition to houses and apartments, giving inhabitants a place outside to unwind, entertain guests, and take advantage of the pleasant climate. However, balconies can be harmful as well, particularly if regular maintenance and inspection are not performed on them. Balconies, decks, and other raised structures are made safer thanks to California laws SB271 and SB326. In this blog post, we'll go through some of the most typical problems that, by these rules, render balconies dangerous and in need of inspection.
Building Damage
Structural damage is among the most severe problems that can render a balcony dangerous. Balconies can degrade over time due to exposure to the elements and general wear and tear, which can result in collapse or failure. There may be cracks, decaying timber, or rusty metal as indicators of structural problems. These problems can put residents at risk of severe harm or even death if they are not resolved.
Another frequent problem that can render a balcony unsafe is water damage. Water can cause rot and deterioration if it is allowed to permeate the balcony's surface. The structure may become weaker as a result, increasing the risk of collapse. Stains, peeled paint or coatings, warped or cracked wood, and other indications of water damage include these.
Faulty Installation
The incorrect installation of a balcony is another problem that might make it dangerous. A balcony may only be able to hold the weight of residents or furniture if it is constructed with quality materials or is properly attached to the structure. Loose connections, noticeable gaps, or wobbling or swaying may be indicators of faulty installation.
Metal balconies are frequently affected by corrosion. Metal can rust and corrode over time as a result of exposure to moisture and salt, which can weaken the structure and increase the likelihood that it will collapse. Rusted or discolored metal, loose connections, or obvious holes are all indications of corrosion.
Another problem that might render a balcony unsafe is overcrowding. The balcony may not be able to support the strain if there is too much weight on it, which could cause it to collapse. Sagging or cracking, obvious stress on supports or connections, or excessive movement, when weight is applied, are all indications of overloading.
Balconies, decks, and other elevated structures must be examined by a qualified professional periodically under California laws SB271 and SB326 to protect the safety of occupants. The inspector will be on the lookout for indications of these and other problems that can render a balcony unsafe during these inspections.
In conclusion, balconies can be a wonderful feature of homes and apartments in California, but if they are not frequently examined and maintained, they may also be dangerous. It is better to be safer and get ahead of possible future problems. At EEEadvisor we will have your balcony inspected by a qualified expert as soon as you discover any indications of structural problems, water damage, incorrect installation, corrosion, or overloading. You can relax outside in peace by taking the essential precautions to protect the safety of your balcony. | commoncrawl |
HELOCs: A Powerful Cross-Sell Opportunity for Savvy Credit Unions
Credit unions are constantly striving to enhance their services for the benefit of their members. One valuable tool in their arsenal is the home equity line of credit (HELOC).
Revolutionize Your Home Equity Offerings With Our FREE Guide
HELOCs present immense benefits for credit union members while also serving as a lucrative opportunity for credit unions themselves. Additionally, they offer an ideal platform for personalized cross-selling, enabling credit unions to connect with members on a more individual level. This win-win situation arises from members' desire to finance substantial purchases or home improvement projects promptly, while credit unions have the chance to demonstrate their care and support to those who have recently acquired a mortgage.
A Forward-Thinking Approach to HELOCs and Cross-Selling
To ensure a smooth and accurate process that satisfies all parties involved, it is crucial to match the right member with the appropriate offer at the perfect moment. Employing a data-driven approach becomes indispensable in achieving this goal. Such resources prove invaluable in crafting personalized marketing messages that effectively highlight the advantages of HELOCs while addressing each individual's specific financial needs.
These technology-driven solutions serve as powerful tools to help credit unions overcome the obstacles that often hinder the conversion of leads into borrowers, with timeliness being a primary concern. Far too often, financial institutions make the mistake of employing a "hard sell" strategy. They assume that their financial product's merits will automatically appeal to everyone else.
However, not only does this approach fail to yield the desired results, but it alshttps://blog.flexcutech.com/blog/create-lasting-loyalty-by-balancing-personalization-and-cross-sellingo risks creating a cold and impersonal experience for the member—an outcome contrary to the credit union's objectives.
Instead, credit unions must leverage data-driven insights to ensure impeccable timing of each offer. This doesn't imply abandoning the use of urgency in marketing messages. Urgency itself can be a potent motivator, as individuals don't want to miss out on an opportunity that may not arise again for a long time, if ever.
However, rather than reaching out to all members indiscriminately to promote the advantages of HELOCs, it is wise to start with recent mortgage borrowers or individuals known to have imminent major purchases or projects. Relying solely on the merits of the financial product will fall short—effective marketing messages must also carry significant weight.
Utilizing the behavioral and financial data generated by members allows credit unions to tailor-fit the lead with the lending opportunity. This tailored approach is not only integral to unlocking the benefits of HELOCs for all parties involved but also a pivotal aspect of the cross-selling process as a whole.
Home Equity Management: The Advanced HELOC Solution for Credit Unions
Ultimately, the conversion of leads into borrowers is the ultimate goal for credit unions, and HELOCs provide an excellent opportunity to achieve precisely that, establishing a mutually beneficial situation. To delve deeper into this concept, FLEX has developed a comprehensive HELOC guide that covers all these aspects and more.

C.O.W. - #047: Three-eyed and blue fur - VOTING!
Topic: Three-eyed and blue fur
Deadline for the voting: Wednesday, 07th June 2006
Posting thread (closed):
artist: cbartrun
An herbivore, the skittish "scrub-duster" forages arid grasslands, using its short trunk-like snout to unearth the roots of plants. Its blue fur serves as a camouflage against the evening and night skies and sparse vegetation. Its four fake eyes(to balance the three real ones) developed as decoys to its predators.
artist: fuuryoku
concept: Indigo Stalker
The Indigo Stalkers are a nasty little genetically-engineered replacement for the guard dog. Surprisingly light for their three-foot wide body, stubby legs are able to move them along flat surfaces faster than a man can run. Their three tentacles and hard sharp claws were originally added to the design as weapons, but the clever little fuzzballs, learned to use them are a secondary set of legs, allowing even faster movement- especially over rough terain and vertically via brachiation. The large triple eye set is sensitive to both infrared and ultraviolet spectra, giving them remarkable nightvision, even against active camouflage. While particularly vicious to intruders, they are remarkably affectionate towards their keepers, often cooing lovingly and rubbing against a keeper when scatched on the top of their "heads."
artist: OtterFrenzy
concept: Grocid Beruloth
These creatures favor polar regions. They are adept aquatic hunters, and can leap from the water to glide great distances to flee predators or hunt for prey.
While swimming, their third eye is directed downward to watch for predators (like Orcas) attacking from below
When gliding, it is directed upwards to watch the skies.
Their fine blue fur helps both to insulate them from the extreme temperatures,
and also to help them blend in with the blue-gray arctic water. As Beruloths age, their fur whitens, and the creatures migrate towards ever icier climates.
Both poles contain large beruloth graveyards.

concept: Great Trepoos Bat
What the Great Trepoos Bat [also MarOgn] looks like and what they are ? Three eyes and blue fur – was the most common characteristics of the creature among the rescued members of the Trepoos 4 expedition – one of the most barren and hostile planets of the Trepoos system. That is where the expedition was attacked by an unidentified creature. The only existing image as well as a vivid description we owe to dr. Martin Ogntoff which as one of the few took a better look at the monsters and wrote about the encounter in his journal:
"… today we heard these "screams" again […] high in the mountains […] hard to describe – sounded like eagles but with much more growling near the end […] everyone, feels stressed. Dogs are very nervous every time these creatures are getting closer. Yesterday two of them run away for no reason at all. We found one of them later torn apart like if it exploded […] tomorrow we're continuing along the path we found today […] first the dogs went crazy, even though we didn't hear a thing, some of them broke the ties and ran away. Then we've hard these flapping sounds – like wings. But not one or two – sounded like hundreds of them, than the "sand storm" started coming from the flapping noises direction (even though the weather forecast said nothing) […] visibility decreased to almost none […] then we saw the first one – huge wings […] hole on the forehead – like an eye, apparently they were seeing us in spite of the sand. Grabbed two of our men, taking them in huge claw-like legs, killed other three […] horror […] after the attack one of them landed just next to me and started eating one of the bodies […] it's back was all covered with blue fur, long tail…"

concept: aoikami
Colonists have named them aoikami, they're very gentle and curious creatures. Theyr'e strict vegetarians and can often be found around colony plantations, where they get fed by the farmers, who see them as a lucky charm. Some believe they make telepathic contact through their third eye (they're the only species on the planet that have this trait), but there hasn't been much research. It's true that in the presence of a aoikami, some people get headaches and strange visions.

artist: Subsonicgerbil
concept: Trocynian Lion Worm
The Trocynian Lion Worm lives in the orange sands of kualawhatickiti. During the mating season the females of the species grow a mane of coarse blue fur. small clusters of the fur is rooted in nerve clusters that make the females "receptive" when stimulated by the males. The fur is blue in colour so they stand out in sharp contrast to the landscape making them easy to find for their mate. The presence of three eyes is to help with the mating process as well. The Lion Worms reproductive organs are an exceptionally complicated organ that requires perfect timing and accuracy. Having three eyes placed in an equalateral triangle allows them to precisely locate the "organs" of their mate for precision copulation through triangulation. The three sets of teeth are to grab ahold of each other once connected. They have to hold on tight once all the fun begins.
artist: pvrhye
It burries itself up to the fur where it lays in wait to eat little boys and girls.
artist: Mighty5cent
concept: Pygmy Skurva
The Pygmy Skurva is a small burrowing mammal, known for it's extensive tunnel networks and it's piercing cries. Its diet primarily consists of insects, although it also feeds on plants from time to time. Inhabiting the rocky desert regions of the Yogunta Moon, it avoids its many natural predators with keen eyesight and warning cries from its neighbors. The Pygmy Skurva's bright blue mane and tail are used in communicating and in its well known, spastic mating rituals.
artist: Neorepto
Poor Steve Burns from Nickelodeon's "Blue's Clues." He had a terrible nightmare last night. He dreamt that Satan impregnated Blue and she had a litter of these hideous, evil, six legged hellhounds with three eyes. They chased him all over the set of his show and tried hump his legs and bite him to death. They ripped off his trademark striped shirt and then he woke up in a cold sweat. That's what you get from working in children's television.
artist: Oddo
artist: GatorKyle
A biped that lives on a large moon with a thin atmosphere, this large creature has developed three eyes and bioluminescent fur to help it see in the low light levels, and is permanently stooped over so that it can always breathe. These unnamed creatures actually help produce more atmosphere, as their digestive waste ferments in the moon's large amounts of bacteria, producing the gases the larger animals need to survive.
artist: doven
concept: Florem Equine
This creature has a third eye capable of ultraviolet vision which helps it distinguish the most nutritious flowers from others, and aids in the pollination of its food source.
artist: White Wolf
Their origin is shrouded in mistery. Nobody knows where they came from or how they evolved but let's face the facts: These creatures have become the biggest plaque and annoyment humanity has encountered since medieval pestilence rats.
Rumors are that they were developed by the cosmetic industry to animal-test their products (AKA: "Ow, that shampoo burns my eyes). Later the military got interested, using those rats succesfully in spy operations (...and girls locker rooms). Enhanced with different chemicals and substances they became faster, stronger and more agile than their precessors. As a side effect of this artifical chemical enhancement their fur turned blue and they grew more aggressive.
Somewhere in their history some exemplars broke free ( probably flushed down the toilet by the laboratory-cleaning-lady) and they started to plague our towns...
But like mentioned, this is only a rumor and probably just another urban legend floating around in dusty bars around the world...
artist: Tom Garden
concept: The Murlugen
This 3 eyed feind of the Trellek Mines, likes to scout for its food with its ultra oblong widescreen vision. Due to this it has large outreaching arms to its sides which are often wavering around, and you really dont want to get caught by one!
Its agile with 3 legs, providing awesome balance and speed, not to forget the arms that allow it to swing from the rocks.
artist: JakkaS
concept: Blofoor
This race was created by Karista, one of the most talented wizards of the city Alturag. The Blofoors are intelligent species, who can tell stories, riddles and tell what the future brings. They can't talk to people but they are telepaths. Karista was truly surprised that their creatures can so easily tell these stories. She didn't realised that she had created spiritualist creatures. Blofoors have three eyes. One eye can see the past, one can see the future and one can see only the present. That's why they are so talented. However, this talent was first noticed by the Lords of Alturag and then estimated as very dangerous. Finally made creatures and their creator doomed.
artist: Mr-Joe
concept: Ankle Biter
They are furry creatures on the planet of Zoombulah, they look like a ordanary furry shrub (on the planet obviously there are no furry shrubs on earth) but If you walking by and your are close enough these things will lash out on their elastic like stretchy legs that are rooted in the ground. Look out!

artist: MIKECORRIERO
concept: Night Chaloomps
Territorial Marsupials very rare in the jungles of Mat-u-Atin, believed to be a myth these gargantuan breed have a unique addition to their anatomy other than their long blue fur. The all seeing third eye heightens the sense of foresight, allowing this mythical marsupial to not only sense danger from long ranges but it allows them to see the danger and actions before they happen. This mutation is rather advanced and is linked to the brains seperation...the Night Chaloomp contains a third section in the brain hidden in the middle between the left and the right. This section is what allows the highly advanced foresight to be achieved. The blue pigment of the fur is yet another adaptation of this gargantuan creature of the Mat-u-Atin jungle. The jungle contains large bright blue poisonous plants that most predators know to stay away from because just one touch can kill most living animals, but the Night Chaloomps are invulnerable to its secretion. The Chaloomp will hide within this plant for protection but a side effect is that it has stained the pigment of its skin to match the plants coloration, embedding the poison in the hair follicles.
Chaloomps move in pairs usually small families consisting of a dominant male and female and one offspring. They vary in size but adult males can reach 1200 pounds and stand upright at approx. 10 feet
artist: Paul A. Willemse
concept: Tokepi
Only very recently known to men, Tokepi is both bizar as it is beautifull. Five years ago it was accidentely discoverd in the Amazones by a small expedition of botanic researchers while search for rare orchids. Very little is know about its habits, for the creature lives only in high treetops and never goes near the ground. It seems to feed soley on nectar collected from wild flowers such as orchids, which the creature gathers by using its incredibily long tongue. The Tokepi live most of the time alone, but during breeding season they gather in large groups while using there brilliant blue fur to attract potential females.
Seemingly strange as it is already, the eyes is what makes the Tokepi truely bizar. For a very long time scientists where baffeled as why it had three eyes instead of the normal two most mammals have. They discoverd that the creature had no pupils, but eyes much like those of an insect. But by the very anotomy, the eyes are limited to see only one color at a time. The Tokepi thus needs three eyes in order to see normal colors. Each eye picks up a different primary color, which the brains mixes in subcolors when needed. Ofcourse much more research is needed in order to unraffel the mysteries of this unique animal.
artist: cognition.sb
concept: Vitio
Vitios are extremely large, dosile creatures. They don't move around too often because they have limited depth perception due to the single eye on their heads. However, they also have an eye on each 'hand', both of which exhibit a unique detection ability. They can change their focus to see through different matter densities. While they cannot communicate with humans, they have been domesticated and utilized by their owners to detect health threats such as cancer and other abnormalities. Each pet bonds with the owner in such a way that their behaviour is noticeably different (and sometimes destructive) when alarmed.

concept: Wave Cutter
This creature was found on the Earth Clone Planet "2nd Serve"...
As known scientists and experts of different disciplines exposed (?word) genetically manipulated animals, plants and other organisms on this planet thousand years ago...shortly after the experiment the first interstellar war began and the project was forgotten...
Centuries later the Peaceful Age started and mankind concentrated on higher aims than might and expansion...
A recent visit to the planet revealed amazing cognitions...under the influence of the special atmosphere and other planetary factors evolution proceeded in a strange way and with amazing speed and brought some very weird creatures on the surface...all of them originated from genes of terrestrial animals.
The photo shows a so called "Wave Cutter".
It's a huge flying mammal which flies close to the water surface of oceans and opens it beak, diving the bottom beak half into the water. This way it ploughs through the water and catches small fishes with its beak sack.
To navigate through the water and descry its prey the "Wave Cutter" has a third eye on the bottom side of the bottom beak half.
The eye is on the front, this way it can see underwater and look for fishes or other prey, while the 2 eyes can look where to fly...when prey is sighted the 3 eyes combine to a perfect view machine for a predator - no chance to escape!
Regarding the creatures anatomy and behaviour - the "Wave Cutter" sleeps upside down hanging on big branches - scientists assume that the "Wave Cutter" evolved from bats and pelicans, but can't comprehend how this combination could ever lead to a single creature...
But what can you expect from a race which was involved 1000 years in an interstellar war - caused by the avidity for material things?
well...life find's a way...

concept: Sugar
Professor Gordon's favourite pet, Sugar is playful yet toxic. Her skin naturally (or un-naturally, depending how you look at it) produces oils poisonous to humans. Otherwise known as "Experiment 52b", she occupies itself by hunting down Thingies (Experiment 12d, yes the one that got away and... reproduced) in the swamps of crude oil surrounding the research complex.

concept: Willowy Ssandes
The Willowy Ssandes of Hotth in the 18 Sco system, are a gracile species. They are a non-agressive fruitivore. It was discovered on first contact that they have the unexplained ability to imbue any creature, or sentient being in the immediate vicinity with Infinite Sadness. It is mandatory that all contact be made through non-emotive machine intermediaries. *Hotth has been placed under quarantine for all biological and A-I contact*

your entry is a plant...no creature...it would be a nice entry for POW...if we had it
Ok...3 eyes...but where is the blue fur??? The ability of changing the fur and skin color is not a valid concept for this topic in my eyes...sorry...

Oh gosh. For me it came down to the bat, the rat and the chicken. Bats almost always win out with me. Demonic clown faced bats, like ThirdEye's, especially. And even though the wing muscles are upside down, somehow this added to the weirdness like an upside down crucifix. White Wolf's blue rat with the eye attached was also really clever, I thought. Ultimately, Oddo's blue chicken won out because of the overall strength of the render, its passive, venus-flytrap predatory methods and the fact that although chickens are indeed stupid enough to decimate thier food source to extinction and starve to death, they have so much personality in their faces as birds go, and this guy is no exception. Plus, there was some risk involved taking feathers as fur; it could have gotten rejected for the poll, and yet Oddo really gave 110% effort despite the potential risk. That's called "believing in your idea" and I respect that.
I also liked Jakkas' and Gloklund's and Bruce Jensen's creature has tons of style.

I Voted for Rudzy. I like the concept. Nice and simple and I love that it comes across completely in the image. Needs no explenation. Everyone did fantastic though. Tyler_Lockett almost got my vote purely because of the texture but I love its facial expression as well. And Walnut, I really like the atmosphere of yours even though the environment is still rough. It has a very peacfull feel. Reminds me of orangatans in the rainforest. MIKECORRIERO, I love your style of rendering. I couldn't really tell the difference between the male and female though. I could ramble on for ages cause all of the entries were great, and then there was mine... er...
"I don't love her! She kicked me in the face!"

Woh, Lots of nice entries here, I voted for Gloklund, just too funny man, I laughed pretty hard when I read your concept. Jakkas your painting is done very very well and the concept is great, Bruce Jensen I really like your creature too, nice job on the painting. Tyler_Lockett I love the squirrel, very funny and cute in a strange way. MIKECORRIERO Nice job. rudszy I like your concept. Everyone else real nice paintings this round. This was a fun topic.

My vote went to Jakkas. I love the idea of past, present, future seeing eyes, and it is beautifully done and well presented.
May 30th, 2006 #11
Voted for Gloklund! Words cannot describe how amusing I find that image. He tied with Oddo (very nice concept, with such a soothing pallet), but humour won in the end.
The Boulder takes issue with that comment.

JakkaS got my vote - beautiful render and well thought-out concept.

Ok...3 eyes...but where is the blue fur??? The ability of changing the fur and skin color is not a valid concept for this topic in my eyes...sorry...
heheh I know,...I have rushed this to get it done without properly reading the description what was needed for this competition so at work(not having time to fix this) I uploaded this with a lil' help from Cerebrae.
Heh thet is reason why a silly description about color... | commoncrawl |

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN -- (Marketwire) -- 11/06/12 --
* Management outlines list of ongoing activities to improve profitability
* The fundamentals for longer-term positive development for the industry remain solid. Ericsson continues to invest in its main competitive assets - technology leadership, services leadership and global scale in order to become a leading ICT solutions provider in telecoms
* Ericsson estimates the overall addressable equipment market will show a CAGR of 3-5% 2012-2015. Telecom services expected to show a CAGR of 5-7% and support solutions expected to show a CAGR of 9-11%
Today, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) will hold its annual Investor Day in Stockholm. President and CEO Hans Vestberg will elaborate on how Ericsson will leverage its current assets - technology leadership, services leadership, global scale - to move from being a leading mobile infrastructure vendor to become a leading Information and Communications Technology solutions provider in telecoms.
"This development will naturally imply a future business mix for Ericsson with more recurring software and services revenues. However, hardware will always be part of the mix and a key differentiator for Ericsson," says Hans Vestberg.
Ericsson is currently in a phase with a higher share of coverage than capacity projects due to a high proportion of hardware being rolled out. At the Investor Day Management will reiterate that this mix is expected to prevail short-term but that the negative impact from the network modernization projects in Europe will start to gradually decline end 2012. Hans Vestberg will point to the fact that the company presently has a selective approach to market share investments and a strong focus on commercial management. Management will also discuss some uncertainties going forward such as macroeconomic factors, the competitive situation and operator consolidation.
A market outlook for 2012-2015 will be presented. Ericsson estimates that the total network equipment market will show a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3-5%. In Ericsson's key equipment market segments - radio, IP and transport, core - the CAGR is expected to be 4-6%. In radio a CAGR of 2-4% is expected, in IP and transport a CAGR of 6-8% and in core a CAGR of 0-2%. Ericsson expects the market for telecom services to show a CAGR of 5-7% in the same time period. The market for support solutions is forecasted to show a CAGR of 9-11%, including a CAGR of 12-14% for the media market. The market for OSS/BSS software and services is expected to show a CAGR of 5-7%.
Ericsson has a leading market position in four out of its six businesses. In mobile equipment, Ericsson increased its market share to 38% in 2011. In the three key equipment market segments, radio, IP and transport, core, the company has an aggregated market position of 27% which makes Ericsson the largest player. In the fragmented telecom services market Ericsson increased its market share 2011 from 11% to 12%. The company also has a leading market position in OSS/BSS.
During the Investor Day, Hans Vestberg will elaborate on strategies to deliver profitable growth. Areas with portfolio momentum expected to contribute to top-line growth are mobile broadband, managed services and OSS/BSS. He will also describe how the company is expanding beyond its core business in order to capture value from adjacent industries, while operators continue to be the major customer segment.
Jan Frykhammar, CFO and Executive Vice President, will elaborate on how Ericsson intends to improve capital efficiency. The working capital targets for the company will remain unchanged with DSO of less than 90 days, payable days of more than 60 days and Inventory turnover of less than 65 days.
Jan Frykhammar will reiterate that the company will continue to proactively identify and execute on additional efficiency gains and cost reductions in order to improve profitability. He will also outline a list of profit improvement areas to reach the compound operating income growth of 5-15% required in the Executive Performance Stock Plan.
Johan Wibergh, head of business unit Networks and Executive Vice President, will point out key contributors for the segment to return to double digit operating margin. He will mention a number of examples of these contributors including Ericsson's ability to gain a price premium through its technology leadership, business mix improvements, scale and agile software development. Rima Qureshi, head of business unit CDMA Mobile Systems, will elaborate on how all Ericsson's CDMA customers have successfully evolved into Ericsson's LTE solutions. Ericsson's acquisition of Nortel has been successful and focus for the CDMA operation is now on maximizing business contribution as well as to excel in life cycle and cost management.
Magnus Mandersson, head of business unit Global Services and Executive Vice President, will describe the company's services journey to drive the transformation to becoming a leading ICT solutions provider in telecom. Mandersson will outline the continued focus on industrialization of services, leveraging global scale and how the company drives services innovation for continued growth.
Per Borgklint, head of business unit Support Solutions, will discuss how the segment Support Solutions showed a trend shift Q212 and Q312 when it reported profit. He will describe the strategy for Support Solutions with focus on OSS, BSS, Media and m-commerce. The presentation will also focus on the characteristics of the business where a subscription based model for recurrent software revenues is being introduced.
Ulf Ewaldsson, Chief Technology Officer, will discuss key technologies for evolving the networks, including heterogeneous networks, 4(th) generation IP, cloud and software defined networks as well as OSS/BSS and real-time analytics.
At the end of the day, Hans Vestberg will conclude that the fundamentals for longer-term positive development for the industry remain solid. He will stress how increased smartphone penetration and consumers demand for having data connectivity around the clock is driving increased complexity in the networks. Until now, the major part of the investments in the telecom industry has been directed to devices and applications. Going forward, Ericsson expects the industry to re-balance investments towards optimizing network performance.
"Mobility is becoming even more relevant in the networked society, driving the demand for our offering," Hans Vestberg will conclude. "We have a clear long-term objective to increase our value share from the networked society through becoming a leading ICT solutions provider in telecom. In the short-term, we aim to improve value creation by focusing on profitable growth."

MediaForEurope (MFE), the cross-border broadcast group formerly known as Mediaset, has upped its stake in ProSiebenSat.1 beyond the 25% mark that will give it a blocking vote at the German media group's forthcoming AGM and has admitted that it is looking to up its hold on Mediaset España.
MFE said yesterday that "directly and indirectly, has crossed the threshold of 25% of secured voting rights of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE through purchases of shares on the market".
Separately, MFE said that, "among a number of operations under examination, a study is also being made of the strategy regarding the stake held in Mediaset España, S.A. for which the company today intends to call a meeting of the Board of Directors". The board meeting is set to be held today.
The announcement on Spain followed reports in the press, initially from Bloomberg, that MFE was set on acquiring the 44% of the Spanish broadcaster that it does not already own.
Spanish markets regulator the CNMC briefly suspended trading of Mediaset España's shares, the price of which surged on the news.
Mediaset had tried to consolidate the Spanish operation previously, but that attempt was blocked by a Spanish judge in 2019 after legal moves to head off the consolidation play by Vivendi.
The moves both in Germany and Spain are the latest indication of MFE's determination to proceed with plans for cross-border media consolidation at the European level to take on the might of US media and tech giants.
MFE's plans have been met with a cool response by ProSiebenSat.1's existing management. CEO Rainer Beaujean has consistently expressed scepticism about the value of cross-border media consolidation and has doubled down on a German market-focused strategy for the broadcaster.
MFE's upping of its stake in ProSiebenSat.1 opens the way for a possible clash over supervisory board appointments at the latter's forthcoming AGM. | commoncrawl |

Home > Press > MITRE-Harvard Team Develops First Programmable Nanoprocessor
The world's first programmable nanoprocessor has been developed and demonstrated by an interdisciplinary collaboration between teams of scientists and engineers working at The MITRE Corporation and Harvard University.
The groundbreaking prototype computer system is described in a paper published today in the journal Nature. The system represents a significant step forward in the complexity of computer circuits that can be built from nanometer-scale (i.e., molecular scale) components. It also represents an advance because the ultra-tiny nanocircuits can be programmed electronically to perform a number of different basic arithmetic and logical functions.
The versatile, ultra-tiny circuits are assembled on a tiny "tile" from sets of precisely engineered and fabricated germanium-silicon wires, surrounded by insulating shells of metal oxides, but still having a total diameter of only 30 nanometers. The novel architecture of the tiles allows a number of them to be connected to assemble even more capable nanoprocessors that could, for example, control a complex electromechanical system.
An additional feature of the advance is that the circuits in the nanoprocessor operate using very little power because their component nanometer-scale wires contain transistor switches that are "nonvolatile." Unlike transistors in conventional microcomputer circuits, once the nanowire transistors are programmed they remember without any additional expenditure of electrical power.
"Because of their very small size and very low power requirements, these new nanoprocessor circuits are building blocks that can control and enable an entirely new class of much smaller, lighter weight electronic sensors and consumer electronics," according to Shamik Das, lead engineer in MITRE's Nanosystems Group and chief architect of the nanoprocessor.
Other members of the development team at MITRE—a pioneer in the nanotechnology field since 1992—included nanotechnology laboratory director James Klemic and James Ellenbogen, chief scientist of the Nanosystems Group. The MITRE team collaborated with a five-person team at Harvard, led by Charles Lieber, a world-leading investigator in the field of nanotechnology, especially for nanowire-based innovations such as the new nanoprocessor.
Ellenbogen, who has worked for nearly two decades toward the development of computers integrated on the nanometer scale, including prior collaborations with Lieber, added that, "This new nanoprocessor represents a major milestone toward realizing the vision of a nanocomputer that was first articulated more than fifty years ago by physicist Richard Feynman."
The technical paper appears in the February 10, 2011, issue of Nature. An abstract is available online at www.nature.com/nature/journal/v470/n7333/full/nature09749.html.

The OnePlus 5T is slated to be unveiled next week on November 16, and, last week, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau revealed that the 5T will come with a 3.5 mm headphone jack (yay). Now, the CEO has revealed that the OnePlus 5T will not come with Wireless Charging while also explaining why the company has excluded this feature.
In a post on OnePlus Forums, Pete Lau has said that the upcoming OnePlus 5T won't be featuring Wireless Charging because wired quick charging tech like their Dash Charge "clearly outshine wireless on quantitative measures".
Their Dash Charge technology produces 20W of power which "reliably" gives a day's power in half an hour to their device. Wireless Charging, on the other hand, only produces 15W of power, and, the devices can only leverage that much of output when they are placed properly on wireless charging pads.
Another reason Lau gives is that you can't use your phone to play games or stream video while its being kept on a wireless charging pad. However, Lau says that the same is possible with Dash Charge as it "stays cool and power efficient" while providing "enough power for the day with just one charging session".
Well, either way the OnePlus 5T wouldn't come with wireless charging because it's going to be similar to the OnePlus 5, with the difference in screen size and probably battery capacity and an upgrade to rear cameras. And, when the OnePlus 5T is going to be similar to OnePlus 5, it will have the same metal back found on the OnePlus 5 which means there's no way one should expect it to feature wireless charging. After all, a phone should have a glass back to be able to support wireless charging.
Having said that, even if the OnePlus 5T isn't going to feature Wireless Charging, Pete Lau hasn't denied the possibility of implementing it in future OnePlus smartphones.
"As a product guy, it's exciting to see technology advance from theory to implementation. We considered bringing this technology onboard, but we chose not to. Because it comes down to whether the solution actually brings a better experience. We'll consider adopting the wireless charging technology when the time is right. Until then, we'll stick to Dash Charge." said Pete Lau.
The OnePlus 5T is going to be unveiled next week on November 16, however, we are expecting more details pertaining to it to surface online, either through leaks, or from OnePlus. | commoncrawl |
This year, Sankranti season did not have much to cheer about but Summer showed the real rush and hunger that people have for good cinema.
Rangasthalam, Bharat Ane Nenu and Mahanati became huge hits and highly popular too.
After Mahanati, except for RX100, none of the films have become hits and even though one or two showed some momentum, they couldn't sustain after one weekend.
Now, Chi La Sow and Goodachari opened to 80 to 90% packed houses in 'A' centres and Goodachari is even attracting B and C center crowds with 55 to 70% occupancies all over as reported by box office pundits.
Both the movies have given a positive hope for Films to come and from 9th August, bigger players are also coming into play.
Srinivasa Kalyanam will open on 9th August and on 10th Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam 2 is releasing. Both are expected to rake in good moolah.
On 15th August, most buzz creator in recent times, Geetha Govindam is releasing and the movie is a cruel bid to stardom by Vijay Devarakonda and people seem to have taken a huge liking to all promotional material and it will have long weekend advantage on top of National Holiday release day advantage.
Month end has Sailaja Reddy Alludu starring Naga Chaitanya and Ramyakrishnan in cruel roles with Anu Emmanuel, releasing. The movie has a positive buzz and Nartanasala starring Naga Shourya is also expected to entertain audience.
On the whole, after a huge dry spell in Monsoon, slowly Box Office fields might see some cash flow to grow profit crops for TFI in August! | commoncrawl |
wannamakeup: Grapevine Community Spotlight
April (also known as wannamakeup on YouTube) is pretty inspirational. Her 6K subscribers love her passion for makeup, and her channel is growing fast. We talked to April about her subscribers and balancing YouTube with being a mom to two kids in this week's Grapevine Community Spotlight!
Meet wannamakeup:
We <3 your look! What is your #1 go-to routine nowadays?
Wow! Thank you! Mauve is the word these days! I love that I can find it everywhere right now. Lipsticks, eyeshadows, blushes…if its mauve, I'm using it!
What inspired you to get into YouTube?
I had watched YouTube for over 5 years and I my passion in life has always been makeup. No one in my life is as crazy about makeup and I felt like I was going crazy not getting to talk about it, I started my channel to find people with the same passion. People that I could relate to.
How do you get ideas for videos?
I have a list a mile long of ideas. I do anything that comes to my head and I get GREAT ideas from my subscribers!
What kind of relationship do you have with your subscribers?
They are seriously my friends! I look forward to talking to them, I smile when they comment or send me a message. They have brought so much joy and love to my life, I'm so grateful!
You're a mom- how does YouTube fit into your life and schedule?
My boys are 7 & 12, for the last 12 years my hobby was being a mom. I devoted 100% of my time to them and I woke up one day and they had a life. They had friends and sleepovers and they're into sports. I decided I needed to make time for myself. So I film 1-2 times a week when they are at school or when they are away visiting grandparents. They will always be #1 but its important to make time for your own passions and not lose sight of what makes you happy.
What would you say to someone thinking of starting a YouTube channel?
It's harder than you think but the most rewarding thing Ive ever done for myself. Make sure you have quality videos, you upload regularly and do something you are passionate about. Be yourself!
What are your plans for 2016? Where is your channel headed?
In 2016 I hope to hit 10,000 subscribers and make this circle of friends even bigger!

You work hard to promote a healthy, beautiful smile for your child. You encourage oral hygiene at home, take them to the dentist every six months, and ensure that they receive a balanced diet for healthy teeth and gums. However, despite your best efforts, you may be overlooking a critical aspect. If they are riding their bike, playing soccer, or participating in another activity without a mouthguard, you are placing their teeth and gums at risk of damage. Without a mouthguard, you are essentially sending them out onto the football field without a helmet.
A mouthguard is a vital piece of protective equipment that children need—no matter their age. It is estimated that one in ten will suffer from a facial or dental injury every sports season. That is equivalent to 15 million Americans. Of those injuries, 5 million will result in knocked out teeth.
Many of these could have been prevented with the use of a mouthguard. It acts as a protective barrier for the teeth and gums to reduce the severity of an injury if there is an impact or trauma to the mouth or face.
This added layer of protection helps to prevent broken, fractured, dislodged, and knocked out teeth while also preventing cuts and bruises to the soft tissues. In some cases, a mouthguard has even shown to help decrease the severity of more serious injuries, such as concussions, jaw and neck injuries, and brain hemorrhages by preventing the lower jaw from impacting the upper jaw.
Although many know that a mouthguard is beneficial, they unknowingly place their child's teeth and gums at risk by purchasing one from a local convenience store. While they are affordable and widely available, they do not offer the same level of protection as one that is custom-fit from a dentist. When they do not fit correctly, it can actually do more harm than good if an injury occurs.
Those that are available from the dentist are custom-made to ensure the right size and fit while promoting comfort when worn over the teeth. The flexible plastic appliance is made from high-quality material for the best level of protection while also ensuring comfort.
If your child participates in any sport that poses a risk for an injury, such as basketball, rollerblading, or baseball, it is vital that they have the protection of a mouthguard. You have worked hard to foster a healthy, beautiful smile. Don't place it at risk by skipping this critical piece of protection.

Being an old-time wrestling fan, I'll admit that Hulk Hogan's return to the WWE got me to check up on the latest news. There's a lot of buzz on C.M. Punk since he quit the WWE a few weeks back, and his no-show at RAW last night in his hometown Chicago furthered the belief that it's a shoot, not a work – sometimes wrestling is real! This edition of Border Patrol is for wrestlers you haven't and probably never will see in Mattel's line of WWE figures.

Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God -
Chapter 98: Martial Arts Ompetition
Her eyelids were heavy, but her head was very clear. Lin Yunyun even felt that her mind had never been more clear.
When she woke up from the big bed, of course nobody was beside her. The remaining red crystals were cleaned up, and the damaged furniture and items were restored to their original states.
Everything looked so natural, as if yesterday was just a dream.
But Lin Yunyun clearly remembered the indelible comfort in her body and that beautiful face.
"Who… is she?"
The person in Lin Yunyun's thoughts was currently standing in front of Gu Nan with unmistakable anger on her face.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Her voice shook slightly, as though she would explode any second.
Gu Nan raised his head, looked at her pretty face, and said with a smile, "Your figure's not bad."
Gu Nian smashed the desk with a fist, breaking Gu Nan's red cedar desk, and all the documents and materials fell. Only the tea cup Gu Nan took away in the nick of time survived.
"Youngster, don't be so angry," Gu Nan took a sip of tea with a smile and said leisurely.
Gu Nian gave him a death glare. She really wanted to punch him in the face, but… he was now Domain Stage.
His growth was too fast, which surpassed everyone's imagination. The Gu family could no longer control him. If he wanted, he could even build a huge organization immediately from scratch.
Since Void Cutter Realm cultivators secluded themselves from the world in order to comprehend the origins of their innate abilities, Domain Stage experts were practically the peak of power in this world.
"Why did you have to… tell Luoluo about this!" Gu Nian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her anger, and asked through gritted teeth.
"Eh? But I told her not to tell you." Gu Nan's face was full of innocence.
Of course, with Bai Luoluo's acting skills, it was only a matter of time before Gu Nian saw through her.
So Gu Nan followed up with, "As a powerful figure, no matter whether you like men or women; old or young—it's all normal! Why repress your desires? Liberate yourself as much as you want, young girl!"
"It's none of your business!" Gu Nian gave him a cold glare and left.
The repeatedly delayed Martial Arts Competition finally didn't get pushed back yet again. It was held according to the time stated in the official announcements, which made the countless martial artists of Ruby Fish Star sigh in relief.
There were only 1,024 participants in the official matches, so the competition would merely last for three days.
On the first day, Lu Danze came to the stadium early. His senior martial brother Lu Wu, master Zhang Tao, and the people of Nebula Martial Arts Hall also accompanied him.
As the martial arts hall run by the Gu family, they were naturally given preferential treatment. They were led to the inner area by the staff early.
- The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴘᴜʙ.ᴄᴏᴍ website.
"Where's Lin Yunyun?" Lu Danze looked around but didn't see Lin Yunyun's figure. He couldn't help sneering, "She took the martial arts hall's salary but didn't even come. How shameless!"
Someone nearby remarked with a smile, "Senior Martial Brother Lu, the Gu family's young master took a fancy to her. Why would she still care about the measly salary from us?"
Lu Danze also sneered. Back then, Gu Nan selecting Lin Yunyun after only a single glance made them have some unhealthy ideas about Gu Nan and Lin Yunyun's relationship.
Gu Yang's expression didn't look very good. She reminded them, "Um… Lin Yunyun is already here. She's over there."
Lu Danze and the other person were stunned. Looking in the direction she pointed to, he found that Lin Yunyun was sitting in a daze at the back of the rest area, while Gu Nan was beside her.
"That's the judges' rest area, isn't it? She's just an Acquired Realm contestant. What right does she have to sit there?" Someone in the martial arts hall said angrily.
Although they also received preferential treatment themselves due to their connection to the Gu family, comparison was the source of envy. Lin Yunyun's treatment made some people feel wronged.
"If you also have a pretty face and are willing to crawl over to the Young Master's feet, then you can also sit there!" Someone answered somewhat explicitly, making several girls blush slightly.
"Everyone, shut up." Zhang Tao scolded with a dark expression, "What kind of occasion is this? Is this a place where you can talk nonsense?"
"Okay…" The group of people suddenly stopped.
Lu Danze frowned and opened his mouth to speak, but Lu Wu placed a hand on his shoulder with a small shake of his head. Thus, Lu Danze could only angrily punch his own thigh and didn't speak again.
While the people from Nebula Martial Arts Hall fell silent, a man and a woman slowly walked over.
"Hall Master Zhang?" A voice came from the side.
Zhang Tao turned his head in confusion and saw an energetic middle-aged man standing next to a young girl.
"Are you… Starry City's Hall Master Lei?" Zhang Tao recognized the other party before long. For a moment, he felt flattered and quickly stood up straight to greet him.
Martial artists from the capital naturally weren't the only ones participating in Ruby Fish Star's Martial Arts Competition this time. People from over 30 cities on Ruby Fish Star were also participating.
Of course, be it the proportion of players or their average abilities, the capital still had an advantage.
But this didn't affect Zhang Tao's respect for Hall Master Lei. The reason was very simple—Lei Wuji was a Prodigious Realm cultivator, as well as one of the three vice leaders of the Martial Arts Alliance.
Although Nebula Martial Arts Hall wasn't small, it couldn't compare with Lei Wuji's Extreme Thunder Martial Arts Hall.
Lei Wuji's martial arts hall occupied the resources of an entire prefecture-level city. Both the quality of students and teachers far exceeded that of Nebula Martial Arts Hall. After all, the Gu family's investment in Nebula Martial Arts Hall was limited.
When Zhang Tao turned his eyes to the silent girl's face beside Lei Wuji, he couldn't help smiling bitterly.
Lei Wuji grinned when he saw this. "Looks like Hall Master Zhang recognized my apprentice… Little Lan, why don't you greet Hall Master Zhang?"
Only then did Li Lan take a step forward. With a standard smile on her face, she bowed and greeted, "Li Lan of Extreme Thunder Martial Arts Hall greets Hall Master Zhang."
Li Lan was the first seed player Gu Nan disqualified when she was interviewing for Nebula Martial Arts Hall back then. Unexpectedly, she had joined Extreme Thunder Martial Arts Hall.
And it seemed like she was even being taught by Lei Wuji himself…

Behind Zhang Tao, the faces of everyone in Nebula Martial Arts Hall looked a little ugly.
She was good enough to be accepted as Lei Wuji's disciple—can anyone still dare to say that her talent was subpar? But their Nebula Martial Arts Hall had precisely passed over such a talented seedling…
So, the number of resentful gazes cast in Gu Nan's direction increased.
Zhang Tao's face also looked a little awkward, but he was still a hall master. At this time, he could still keep a calm face. He knew that Lei Wuji definitely had a reason for approaching them.
Sure enough, Lei Wuji then opened his mouth, "I heard that my little apprentice intended to interview for your martial arts hall but was rejected?"
His words sounded like a direct slap to Zhang Tao's face.
Zhang Tao also felt helpless. 'This Lei Wuji really is as overbearing as the rumors claim…'
But what surprised him even more was that Lei Wuji then laughed. "Then I really must thank Hall Master Zhang. If you hadn't gone blind, you wouldn't have passed over such a good seedling to me!"

Like butter and coconut oil, cannabis-infused sugar is a delicious way of infusing cannabis into your everyday life. The term "sugar" is also used in reference to cannabis as a type of concentrate or extract.
Cannabis-infused sugar and the extracts bearing the namesake have growing fan bases. While each product is unique, their flavor and potency have made them both favorites for many connoisseurs. These infusions offer new types of cannabis for all consumers to try, whether you prefer vaping or making your own edibles.
This article will show you how to make infused cannabis sugar for edibles, and why making sugar extract at home isn't always a safe decision.
What is Cannabis Sugar?
As an edible variety, cannabis sugar simply combines cannabis (usually in the form of an alcohol-based cannabis tincture) and sugar (white granulated sugar is more often used, but the brown variety is also an option). When combined, the cannabinoids from the alcohol-based tincture are transferred into the sugar crystals. The result is a sweet sugar crossed with a nutty cannabis flavor.
To help differentiate between the two kinds of sugar and the rest of this article, we will refer to cannabis-infused sugar for edibles as "cannasugar."
We'll refer to the extract by its more common name: "sugar wax." The name comes from the wet, sugary appearance of the extract.
There are several ways you can make sugar wax. Some methods are relatively safe for home production, and others are forbidden.
The safer home extraction method produces a rosin with a waxy texture. Rosin is categorized as a solvent-free extraction because it uses minimal ingredients: often a combination of ice, heat, pressure and cannabis flower.
Solvent-based sugar wax has the same consistency as solventless wax rosin, but is typically made with chemicals like butane hash oil (BHO). Because BHO sugar wax uses volatile solvents that can cause catastrophic explosions and fires if mishandled, it shouldn't be tried at home. To safely and legally make solvent-based sugar wax, you'll need a state license and a state-of-the-art lab.
So you can create edible cannasugar or concentrated rosin wax at home, but BHO sugar wax is best left to the professionals.
What is "Live" Cannabis Sugar?
The "live" extraction process is often regarded as the best-known method for preserving a large majority of the plant's compounds post-harvest.
Live sugar is a whole-plant concentrate that takes the same starting process as rosin wax or sugar wax, but it uses freeze-drying techniques to produce a more honey-like consistency. As soon as a cannabis plant is harvested, it is placed in a freeze-drying unit. This step replaces the typical drying and curing process. The plant is only removed from the freeze dryer when producers are ready to use it for extraction.
Once a niche production method, live cannabis products are now a growing segment of the market. Today, producers use live methods in both solvent and solvent-free extraction. Through these processes, they can create an array of concentrates, like budder, glass, and shatter.
3 Mistakes to Avoid When Making Canna Sugar
Cooking with cannabis can be a meticulous process, and new canna chefs are bound to make mistakes.
Here are a few of the most common mistakes to avoid when making cannasugar.:
- Using Subpar Weed: There is a classic saying in cannabis production: "Quality in, quality out." If your cannabis is old or lacks in quality, your sugar may not deliver your desired potency or effects.
- Over-grinding: You want your flower to be in small pieces but not a dust or kief-like texture. Over-grinding your cannabis increases the likelihood that you'll need to sift plant material out of your final product.
- Not Decarboxylating: To experience the psychoactive effects of cannabis, you must convert the plant's natural cannabinoid compound, THCA, into psychoactive THC. This process, known as decarboxylation, is done by applying heat to dry cannabis flower. Consuming the plant in its natural form, without decarbing, will keep you from getting some of the desired intoxicating effects.
- Using an Improper Amount: Dosing is essential to a pleasant experience. If you use too much weed, you risk making the sugar too potent. If you use too little, you run the risk of the sugar having little or no psychoactive effect. For a more accurate understanding of your edible's dosage, consider using an edibles calculator.
- Temperature Control: Cooking the weed during the decarb process – or cooking the sugar during the infusion process – at too high of temperatures can result in two critical mistakes. First, overheating will burn off vital ingredients, throwing off the dosing estimates (potentially resulting in you consuming more or less than you'd intended). Second, THC heated for too long may convert into cannabinol (CBN), a cannabinoid with the potential to have heavy sedating effects.
How To Make Cannabis Sugar
To make cannasugar at home you'll need the following ingredients:
- Dry cannabis flower
- White granulated sugar,
- High-proof alcohol, as close to 190-proof as possible (check legality in your area)
Before you get started, gather these materials:
- Mason jar with lid
- Cheesecloth or coffee filter
- Bowl
- Shallow baking sheet
- Glass baking dish
- Breathable fabric (enough to cover a glass baking dish)
- Oven or toaster oven
- (optional) Grinder, or a tool to break up the flower
- (optional) Parchment paper
Cannasugar can be made in a few different ways. Below is a classic recipe for beginners.
Step 1: Decarbing your weed
The first step in any infusion process is to decarb your cannabis flower.
- Grind your cannabis. You can use a grinder or you can do this by hand. Make sure the nugs are broken down into a fluffy, coarse-like pile (and not ground into dust). It's fine to have a few cannabis sugar leaves (the smaller leaves on the nugs) intact.
- Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the ground cannabis on the baking sheet.
- Insert the baking tray into the oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Take the cannabis out of the oven. Let it cool.
- Turn off the oven.
Step 2: Make a tincture
Before you can infuse the sugar, you'll need to make a tincture using the decarbed weed.
- Place the cannabis into a mason jar. Make sure there is space for the alcohol.
- Fill the jar with high-proof alcohol. You'll want to cover the flower material and then some. An eighth ounce of dry cannabis flower will need anywhere from 1-2 cups of alcohol. The ratio you use will affect the potency of the final product.
- Seal the jar with a lid. Shake the jar every 5 minutes for the next 20 minutes. Now uncap the jar.
- Place a cheesecloth over the mouth of the jar. Pour the now-infused alcohol through the cheesecloth or coffee filter and into a bowl.
- Save the alcohol. You'll need the now-infused alcohol to infuse the sugar. You can discard the strained plant material or save it for other uses like topicals.
Step 3: Infuse the sugar
- Place the sugar into a glass baking dish.
- Slowly add the tincture (the infused alcohol) to the sugar. Stir as you add the tincture. How much sugar and tincture you use is up to you but the final product should look like wet sand.
- Cover the glass dish with breathable fabric. Store somewhere safe from children and pets.
- Let the mixture dry. The drying process can take 48-72 hours, possibly longer. Stir the mixture every few hours.
- Wait for the mixture to resemble real sugar. Check that the mixture is completely dry.
- Store the sugar in an airtight container until ready for use.
How Much Sugar Should You Use When Infusing with Cannabis?
The amount of sugar you use depends on the desired potency of your edibles. Professionals in a regulated kitchen have tools to get a precise dosage of their edibles. For those who make cannabis edibles in their home kitchen, you can use an edible calculator or a little bit of math to find your ideal dosage.
You'll need to know the weight and potency of your cannabis. If your recipe uses 6g (or 6,000mg) of flower at 20% THC potency, multiply 6,000 (mg of dry material) by 0.2 (THC potency).This reveals that you're starting with 1,200 mg of THC for your recipe.
Now, divide the total mg of THC (1,200) by the number of servings (how many edibles you're making, or the amount of sugar you'll use at one time).
When consuming cannabis, starting at a low dosage is best. The average dispensary edible contains between 5 to 10mg per serving. For some consumers, that may be too much. If you're concerned (or if you're new to cannabis), you may want to consider starting with 2.5mg.
Starting low allows you to find the dosage that feels best for you and delivers your desired effects.
Making your own cannabis-infused sugar for your edibles may seem complex, but each step can be completed quickly and easily at home. Cannasugar can be a great way to infuse cannabis into your everyday life at a dose that is comfortable for you.

These, combined with Drobo's unique ease-of-use and flexibility, enable the Drobo 5N to provide an unprecedented package of simplicity, affordability and performance for home users, small offices and creative professionals. The 5N also utilizes Drobo's new, enhanced data protection capabilities, typically only found in more expensive enterprise storage systems.
"Drobo continues to add truly impressive modern storage capabilities that are perfect for professionals and small businesses," stated Mark Peters, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Drobo stands alone in delivering its comprehensive range of advanced capabilities -- automated tiering, SSD performance and hard drive capacity, plus enterprise-grade reliability features -- in this price category for the networked home office and small office customer. By also maintaining its renowned ease-of-use, Drobo ensures it delivers both financial and operational value."
Easier, Faster, Safer
Like all Drobos, the 5N utilizes Drobo's patented ease-of-use technologies, including "traffic light" management; the ability to automatically keep data in a protected state, even withstanding disk drive failures; mix-and-match disk drive support and expansion of system capacity by adding or hot-swapping drives on-the-fly with zero downtime.
The Drobo 5N adds a significant performance boost via a brand-new hardware design and the use of Drobo's patent-pending Data-Aware Tiering technology. The increased horsepower and ability to support SSD technology in addition to hard drives accelerates the overall performance of the storage array, allowing faster access to data from applications such as Adobe Lightroom and Apple iPhoto or iTunes, without compromising overall system capacity.
In addition, the Drobo 5N provides an advanced data protection feature often found on enterprise-grade storage that automatically protects user and system data in the event of a spontaneous or unexpected power failure. The system utilizes intelligent software and battery technology that allows all critical data to be written to non-volatile storage, ensuring all important information is kept safe, even in the event of unexpected power loss.
Instant Upgrades
The Drobo 5N replaces the Drobo FS, one of Drobo's most popular products ever, as an entry-level networked storage solution that supports both Apple and PC platforms; the 5N also provides an easy-to-use interface for Apple's popular Time Machine. Existing customers of Drobo FS can easily upgrade by either copying their data to a new 5N or simply moving their Drobo FS disk drives to the Drobo 5N, thereby gaining access to the greater performance and data protection features of the 5N within minutes. Easy-to-follow instructions are available at http://www.drobo.com/migration.
Perfect for Media, Networked Homes and Small Offices
For media enthusiasts looking to share and back up video, photo and music files, the Drobo 5N provides a reliable plug-and-play storage solution with the real-world performance to seamlessly run rich media libraries such as iTunes and iPhoto as well as to safely store and back up personal data. With Drobo's automated data protection, the 5N makes storing and protecting valuable data very simple, with enough storage for more than 90,000 16 Megapixel raw photos, 650 Blu-ray discs, and up to 5,000 hours of 1080p HD video.
In addition, home and small office users who need an easy and affordable solution for network backups, file sharing and future expandability in Apple, PC or mixed environments will appreciate the affordable but advanced features of the new Drobo 5N, including its compatibility with a wide range of local and cloud backup solutions to deliver remote access and off-premises data protection.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing for the Drobo 5N begins at $599 (U.S. MSRP), and the new system is available almost everywhere technology products are sold, including Amazon, B&H Photo Video, CDW and the online Drobo store at www.drobo.com.

Day two in Bangkok and I thought initially I'd go to the art gallery, which I could get to by train. However, on checking the opening times, I found out that it was closed on Mondays. So, instead, I decided to go to the park, which was located nearby my hotel. It was a nice day, and it took about an hour for me to wander around.
Lunch was in the food court on top of the shopping mall I'd been to, and I went to what's called the 'Moomin Café'. I'd seen this the previous day after I'd had lunch, and I'd heard all about the one in Tokyo, but I was unaware of the cafe anywhere else. I'm not totally familiar with all the characters of the stories, though I did used to watch the cartoon series on television when I was younger. But I went and ate there all the same, which was not bad, and it was quite quiet too. If you go there by yourself, the staff will put one of the Mommin characters next to you, so you feel less lonely.
Now, I'm not really one for traditions, but a few I think are good. One is watching films during my winter holidays. But not just any films. In my first winter break in China, I went to the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar. It was also the Lunar New Year there, so I was the only guest in my hotel. However, it did allow me to watch TV, which might not seem that big a deal, but at the time, I didn't have a TV so I hadn't watched anything in a few months. Whilst there, I saw the film Paddington, which, in this Brexit-focused world, where immigration is seen as something bad, it was a nice contrast to this, and shows the positives of immigration. Jump ahead a year, and I was in Hanoi, Vietnam. Whilst there, I happened to be flicking through the film channel and discovered the film Zootopia. This was a film my students had talked a lot about, but I'd never seen it. It celebrates diversity and individuality. Now, in my third winter holidays, I was thinking what film would I see this year. Well, I didn't see anything on TV, but I did check the cinema listings and came across a film I did really want to watch, at the cinema. So, I decided to go that afternoon to watch it. The film, The Post, focused on the true story of the Pentagon Papers and The Washington Post in the early 1970s. It highlighted important issues about freedom of the press, very relevant in today's somewhat cynical and anti-press (not to mention fake news) world. So, my third winter holidays I got to see another inspiring, and important, film, this time about free press.
The trip to the cinema was, itself, interesting. The film was in English with Thai subtitles, and the screen was in the same mall I'd been to the previous day, with the aquarium in it. Before the film, the national anthem of Thailand played, and all the Thai audience members stood up, which was interesting, given I hadn't experienced this before (and I'm not sure I would do it if it was in the UK).
After the film I went back to the hotel, and had a swim in the pool. Then I went for food, before returning to the hotel. | commoncrawl |

Recently, I've been working along side the folks at VMware. We first became acquainted when I was at the Silicon Valley VMUG talking about VMware Site Recovery Manager. It just so happened that at the event I spoke about my thoughts on the SMB. My general premise is that how the SMB currently delivers their IT infrastructure might provide a template for how services are delivered in large corporate environments.
My line goes a bit like this. If the last decade of virtualization was about "doing more with less" what do you suppose the next decade will be about? Yes, that's doing EVEN more with EVEN less. This has number of consequences on a variety of fronts.
Firstly, the protected fiefdoms or silos of IT responsibility are ripe for restructuring. All too often the various stakeholders of these silos of specialism are often a barrier to adopting new technologies and more efficient ways of working. One of the joys of working in a SMB environment is by necessity that system admins (if there is more than one!) have to wear multiple admin hats at once. It's lean, mean and efficient – because it has to be. For some time there's been discussion in our industry about whether a new breed of administrator is being forged in the white heat of virtualization. An admin who is equally comfortable with server, storage, network and virtualization – and is able to fit all those pieces together. At the SMB level that has always happened – it's not new. But in the world of the enterprise it might be the way forward – with fewer "one-trick-pony specialists", and more "jack-of-all-trades". These multi-skilled individuals main job is getting all the parts together to make it work. From a troubleshooting perspective they are skilled in understanding all the various interdependencies, and quickly diagnosing and resolving problems as they arise.
The more I talked with folks, the more it became apparent that there exists in the industry a bit of a narrow view of the way SMBs work. The trouble is that the only narrative is one that states that "cost" and "price" are always the only priority. Nothing, I believe can be further from the truth. Some of the most gifted, talented and smart people I've met in IT come from the SMB. They've learned to be creative and efficient – and yes, sometimes that's because money is the necessity of virtue. Also in my career I've come across businesses that our industry classes as "small" because the judgement of scale is based on the number of users, not the size of the budget; geographical remit or profit. I've been doing contracting for a number of SMBs whose revenue is in the millions, and whose operations span the globe – and they only employ less than 200 people. So small needn't be regarded as "simple" much depends on the nature of the business and fitting technology to the company's needs. This is not very different to the agenda in the large corporate environment. The SMB has always had to think smart, and be hyper-efficient with their resources. The law of the "survival of the fittest" has always applied in the world of the SMB where there aren't the resources to support bloated and wasteful CapEx and OpEx overheads.
So it was with this view that I started to use my personal network to line up a number of individuals who by the very nature of their work – demonstrate how rich and diverse the SMB sector is. Each individual represents a different aspect of life in the SMB. From the archetypal system admin, me, who wears many hats – to the legal firm that has the same SLAs, QoS standards as any global corporate. I've also pulled in a service provider who is building a pre-package virtualized solution in a box – a kind of SMBlock. I wanted to find people on the "services" side of the house who make SMB the core of their business, rather than some after thought. Each podcast includes a blog post by yours truly that takes a thread of thought that springs out from our discussions. It's "community" oriented so these folks are out there in the real world doing virtualization for real.
So check out my very first podcast with Raymond Overman of North Carolina – a system admin in SMB who has transformed their infrastructure from zero virtualization, to hero virtualization in a matter of months. Within months of being engaged, Raymond had migrated 80% of the companies servers on to the vSphere Platform by the fourth quarter 2011 all their servers were running under ESX 5.0. In the 20min podcast Raymond shares with us his personal virtualization journey and we talk about how he's approach the issue of backing up VMs in a SMB environment. There are some interesting possibilities – don't just take my word for it – check out Raymond's views and perspectives.
Stay tuned to hear other views and perspectives around IT in SMBs in my upcoming podcast series: Mike Laverick's IT Hero Podcast Series.

Finally! Closure In Hrithik-Kangana's Case; No Evidence Found
The much talked controversy regarding Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut that made headlines has finally found a closure. Bollywood actor Hrithik had filed a case against fake account in Hrithik's name with which Kangana exchanged romantic emails.
While Kangana indirectly confessed they were in a romantic relationship, Hirthik maintained his silence.
Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch, Sanjay Saxena said, "We have been unable to find anything on the mail ID as the server is located in the US. Now it is very difficult to ascertain who was using the account. Still, we will try to conclude [the case] from the available evidence."
Hrithik's team had also accused Kangana of stalking and sending him 50 messages. Hrithik was angered by Kangana's dismissal of the ugly spat.
"We are not surprised to learn that the police have, after a thorough investigation, filed a NIL report, which means that they could not trace any imposter as was claimed by Hrithik Roshan.
Kangana has always been maintaining that there was no imposter ever. No one can deny the fact that Kangana had to uselessly bear the brunt of unwarranted and uncalled for actions on the part of Hrithik Roshan."

Amine-templated polymeric lanthanide formates: synthesis, characterization, and applications in luminescence and magnetism.
The novel polymeric formates of general formula [(Fmd)Ln(III)(HCOO)(4)](∞) (Fmd(+) = NH(2)-CH(+)-NH(2); Ln = Eu (1), Gd (2), Tb (3), Dy (4)] were synthesized through solvothermal methods in formamide solutions. The compounds are isotructural; they crystallize in the orthorhombic C222(1) chiral space group. The coordination geometry at the metal centers is square antiprismatic (coordination number eight), with each formate ligand bridging adjacent lanthanide ions. The overall negative three-dimensional (3D) framework charge is balanced by the formamidinium cations sitting inside the channels along the a axis, forming extensive N-H···O hydrogen bonding with the surrounding cage. All the compounds have been characterized through single-crystal/powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and TG-MS analysis. Finally, their luminescence and magnetic properties have been assessed, leading to remarkable emission intensities, especially for the Tb(III) compound (Φ = 0.83), with corresponding lifetime decays in the micro (Dy) and millisecond (Tb, Eu) time scale. A weak but sizable antiferromagnetic interaction has been observed for the Gd(III) derivative. | pubmed_abstract |

Smash Notes summary for this episode
What is Smash Notes?
It's a way to get millions of interesting points out of podcasts that are locked in the audio. Each podcast contains notes that are set up in a Q&A form so people can target the information that interests them without needing to just listen for the content.
Why has podcasting become more popular over the years?
Conversations in audio seem to go deep into the brain and it seems to be something evolutionary. People also seem to share more in podcasts than they would in other mediums.
What is the Rad Dad Show podcast?
It is hosted by Kirill Zubovsky. He usually interviews startup-y dads, but he wants to hear about other dad's lives, their parenting style, work, and whatever else they have to share.
How is podcasting different from writing?
When writing, people have a point that they want to make and teach their audience. With podcasts, it's more free flow in sharing a story. It allows people to draw their own conclusions.
How did the idea of Smash Notes develop?
When Zubovsky started his podcast, he started interviewing interesting people. One person was Caspar Babypants. Kirill wanted people to listen to the interesting bits that Babypants had to share, and not able to find a good way to segment podcasts and share, he's created SmashNotes.
How will AI affect the ability for humans to learn, build, and create?
Zubovsky can't provide a specific answer, but thinks that if you follow open AI, you will have a really good sense of what's possible. He hopes that AI will remove mindless tasks from our lives.
What's the biggest thing you learned about life or startup companies?
Personally, Zubovsky learned how important it is to stick to his core vision. You must be fully committed to what you're doing because if you aren't, you won't be invested as much to selling a product.
How does it feel to work for yourself, then go back to working for someone else?
Zubovsky states how he was never a big fan of working for someone else because it feels like there are obstacles in the way. He doesn't find it rewarding to be particular deep in one area, but he wants to do a little bit of everything.
How has the Crazy Wisdom podcast grown?
Stewart Alsop III confesses that he is pretty bad at marketing because it took him a year for people to start listening. He hired a consultant and he told Alsop the best way to get people to listen to your podcast was to be on other people's podcast as a way to self-promote.
What is one key thing in life to do?
People should establish their own boundaries and say, "This is what I need, and this is what I want."
Where did the name "Crazy Wisdom" come from?
People may be familiar with the term if they're involved in the spiritual world. It's also known as divine madness. It's an ultimate productivity hack that makes a person question the fundamental nature of reality.
Where does the best feedback come from?
It comes from people who accept what you're doing. They don't question what you're doing. Instead, they assume that reality and help you get there to progress and grow. There will be people that don't agree with your vision and won't be a part of it, and that's okay, too.
Where is the best place to get opinions?
Zubovsky states that it's great that you have a pool of people because not everyone will respond, but people can find the parts that resonate with them. It's easy to get entrepreneurial people on board because they want to help.
Why does it seem that people want to help?
Essentially, you get out what you put in. It's also because people realize how difficult it is to do startups. There is no value in the negatives. When giving feedback, you're exercising your own mind.
What's Zubovsky's opinion of an eight hour a day work week?
He questions why we are still doing it. He says if you can be productive for four hours from your kitchen, then go for it. You may be doing more than someone who's spending 12 hours in an office.
As a society, what should we be doing?
We have matured to be an intelligent society where we should recognize that we should control our own lives and not abide by society norms. We should make it work for us. If no one does it, then nothing will change. | commoncrawl |

The online casino gaming industry in Malaysia has seen a remarkable evolution over the years. From humble beginnings to becoming a multi-billion-dollar industry, online casino gaming has come a long way in Malaysia.
In the early 2000s, online casino gaming was still in its infancy in Malaysia. The first online casinos were simple and crude, offering a limited selection of games with basic graphics and user interfaces. However, the industry quickly evolved and became more sophisticated as technology improved and more players joined in.
One of the main factors that contributed to the evolution of online casino gambling Malaysia was the rise of mobile technology. As smartphones and tablets became more prevalent, online casinos began to adapt their platforms to be mobile-friendly, allowing players to access their favorite games from anywhere, at any time.
Another major development was the introduction of live dealer games. These games combine the convenience of online gaming with the immersive experience of a real-life casino, with live dealers handling the games and interacting with players in real-time. This was a game-changer for online casino gaming in Malaysia, as it allowed players to experience the thrill of a land-based casino from the comfort of their own home.
The growth of online casino gaming in Malaysia has also been fuelled by the popularity of e-wallets and online payment systems. With more and more Malaysians embracing online shopping and digital transactions, it was only natural for online casinos to offer these payment options as well. This has made it easier for players to deposit and withdraw funds from their online casino accounts, and has also helped to make online gaming more accessible to a wider audience.
Of course, with any rapidly growing industry, there have also been challenges and controversies along the way. One of the biggest issues facing the online casino gaming industry in Malaysia is the question of legality. While online casino gaming is technically illegal in Malaysia, many players continue to engage in it through offshore sites. This has led to concerns about the safety and security of players, as well as the potential for money laundering and other criminal activities.
Despite these challenges, the online casino gaming industry in Malaysia continues to grow and evolve. New technologies and innovations are constantly being developed to enhance the player experience, and more and more Malaysians are discovering the convenience and excitement of online gaming.
In recent years, there has also been a push to regulate and legalize online casino Malaysia trusted. Proponents argue that legalization would bring in significant tax revenue and help to protect players by ensuring that online casinos operate in a safe and regulated environment.
Overall, the evolution of online casino gaming in Malaysia has been a remarkable journey, from its humble beginnings to the sophisticated and technologically advanced industry it is today. While there are certainly challenges and controversies to be addressed, it is clear that online casino gaming is here to stay in Malaysia, and will continue to play an important role in the country's entertainment landscape for years to come. | commoncrawl |
Sansa is an estimated 1.5 year old black with white female staghound. Sansa was found with Bran as a stray and came to GALT via Ft. Worth Animal Care & Control. This cute fuzzy little girl is undergoing medical evaluation. Sansa should not live with cats at this time. She has not yet been evaluated small animals. It is speculated that Bran and Sansa are siblings. Because of this only one DNA test was performed. See the results of Sansa's DNA test here.
Sansa rates high on the 'cuteness' scale. With her big brown eyes and 'wagging' body when she sees you, it's hard to resist her winning personality & scruffy face. She's sweet, lovable and energetic. She can be exuberant on a leash but quickly settles down and wants to please. She knows the commands of sit and down, rides well in the car and wants to be around both people and other hounds. She's been living with a Scottish Deerhound and Irish Wolfhound. She leads the pack in chase, exhibits no fear of large dogs, and is eager to meet other dogs or make new human friends when given the opportunity. The toy basket contents are emptied daily and constantly travel around the house. Outside, she'll fetch and enjoys the yard with endless sticks. Her sight hound instincts kick in if there is a potential squirrel in the area.
Still young, she explores and sometimes pushes the limits, so it's a good idea to hide shoes and remote controls. A sensitive soul, she responds easily to corrections. Sansa is very smart. She knows what a dog bed is but prefers a leather overstuffed chair or couch if allowed. She will come to get you if she needs to go out and reminds you occasionally to take breaks for playtime. She exhibits slight separation anxiety if she's left alone or not the 'chosen one' for a walk or ride in the car. She's always ready to go and can be vocal about it or work on doorknob to follow you. A casual eater, she doesn't beg or look for treats. Attention in the form of a gentle caress or a cuddle is what she most desires.
Sansa's ideal home should be an active one with other energetic dogs, no kitties, and plenty of toys! She has been wonderful to foster and will be a true joy for the right family.

What Is CoolSculpting®?
Completely non-invasive, CoolSculpting is FDA-approved to reduce body fat using a technology called Cryolipolysis™, which freezes fat cells, ultimately destroying them. If you desire a slimmer, more contoured figure but don't want to undergo a surgical procedure and extensive downtime, CoolSculpting may be right for you. Patients usually report little discomfort, and typically there will be no downtime following the procedure. In most cases, you should be able to return to normal activity immediately. If you're interested in CoolSculpting, our experienced plastic surgeons can determine if this treatment can help you achieve your cosmetic goals during your initial consultation.
For more information about CoolSculpting and how this method can reduce stubborn pockets of fat, or to schedule a consultation with Dr. W. Tracy Hankins, Dr. Samuel Sohn, or Dr. Jaiswal, please contact us today.
How Does CoolSculpting® Work?
CoolSculpting is designed to address the areas where your body typically stores stubborn, diet and exercise resistant fat, including your stomach, love handles, back, thighs, and hips. The device features two cooling plates that send energy into your areas of concern, freezing the fatty tissue. The broken down cells then will be eliminated through your body's natural metabolic processes over the course of two to four months. The results will occur gradually, with benefits visible after approximately one to two months. One treatment may be sufficient to achieve your aesthetic goals, and many patients see up to 20 percent reduction in body fat in the treated area. However, additional sessions can provide more comprehensive fat reduction. The CoolSculpting procedure takes approximately one hour per treated area, and you are welcome to relax, read, watch TV, or work during the treatment.
What to Expect During CoolSculpting® Treatment
When you arrive for your consultation we will have you sit or lie down on a comfortable reclining chair where you will remain for the duration of the treatment. We will then place the CoolSculpting device on your area of concern, and vacuum suction will hold the fatty tissue between the cooling plates of the equipment. You will likely feel some pulling, tugging, or mild pinching as this occurs, though discomfort typically will be minimal. Once applied, you will feel a sensation of intense cold followed by numbness after approximately 5-10 minutes. In some cases, you may feel some mild tingling, aching, stinging, or cramping, which will fade with time.
What Is CoolSculpting® Recovery Like?
Most patients can return to normal activity immediately following the procedure. In a few instances, there may be some side effects present directly after treatment in the affected area, though these usually will fade within days, though sometimes that can continue for several weeks. Some potential concerns may include stiffness, firmness, redness, swelling, bruising, temporarily lightened skin, numbness, tenderness, muscle spasms, and aching. Sometimes these symptoms may have a delayed onset, beginning a few days or even weeks after the procedure, and the intensity of the effects will vary by person.
It's important to note there are no known lasting complications, and these symptoms will subside with time if they happen at all.
When Will CoolSculpting® Results Be Visible?
One of the many benefits of CoolSculpting is the natural-looking outcome, which develops gradually as the body disposes of the damaged fat cells through normal metabolic processes. Patients typically begin to see changes in body contour after a few weeks, with the full effect taking place after a few months. Multiple treatments can be performed to achieve more comprehensive fat reduction, either in the same location or in additional spots, for the desired outcome.
How Many CoolSculpting® Treatments Are Typically Needed?
Some individuals are content with a single treatment while others choose to have several for the greatest reduction in fatty tissue. The number of treatment sessions you will need to achieve your goals will depend on the volume of fatty tissue, the number of areas you would like addressed, and your own unique response to the procedure. Most patients receive between two and four treatments, and we will discuss the ideal number for you at your initial consultation.
How Much Does CoolSculpting® Cost?
The price of CoolSculpting will depend on how many areas you would like to improve, how many sessions are needed to obtain the desired contour, and a few other personal factors. We want you to be well-informed, and we will provide a cost breakdown at your initial consultation. Generally speaking, each CoolSculpting treatment costs $XXX. If you would like to consider plastic surgery financing, we work with a number of highly regarded lending agencies that offer eligible applicants appealing terms. We can give you more information if you're interested at your first visit.
Your safety and comfort are our primary concerns, and we want you to be well informed about all aspects of the CoolSculpting® experience. If you have any questions or wish to schedule a consultation with one of our physicians, please contact us today. | commoncrawl |

WN: Fyodor Dostoevsky and others variously have said: "The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons." (The House of the Dead (1862); Winston Churchill ("The mood and temper of the public in regard to the treatment of crime and criminals is one of the most unfailing tests of the civilization of any country."); Bernard Shaw said similarly in his polemic: The Crime of Imprisonment.
This of course applies as well to the conduct of war. . . When will we ever learn?
Eritrea is riddled with an appalling variety of prisons: Underground cells of crumbling concrete, and sweltering jails fashioned from converted metal cargo containers. Cages crammed with hundreds of men who must sleep on their sides like sardines, as their cellmates wearily stand to make room, and shallow holes scraped from the earth with log and dirt ceilings so low that inmates cannot stand up.
The conditions, former prisoners recounted, are often so ghastly and the prison terms so open-ended that desperate inmates frequently attempt to escape, but those who try are often gunned down.
Unlike in many other authoritarian countries, where people can frequently avoid prison by keeping their heads down and steering clear of politics, most Eritreans face the inevitability of detention if they refuse mandatory national service that can stretch for decades, mostly in a military infamous for leaving conscripts impoverished and brutalized.
In interviews, 42 Eritreans who have been in prison, in some cases only weeks ago, described the conditions in the country's sprawling detention network. These Eritreans, who were contacted in six different countries — some mired in refugee camps outside Eritrea or hiding in secret safe houses in African cities, and a few now living as fugitives in the West — told of beatings, stress positions and other torture, and of hunger and deaths from suffocation and gunshots, providing a rare look inside the prisons of the secretive country that has been described as "the North Korea of Africa."
Although Eritrea has long been highly repressive, the prison population has swollen within the past three years. After Eritrea sent troops to help the Ethiopian government battle rebels in the Tigray region, Eritrea intensified its aggressive conscription campaign — sweeping up men and women, young and old. Evasion meant jail.
The extent of Eritrea's prison system is well known. But the testimony of former detainees provides new details, never before reported, about prison conditions and the desperation of life on the inside.

An entirely new stage of life begins with retirement. Numerous changes are brought about by this, including those that affect long-term care and health insurance.
Fill out the "Retirement health insurance notice" form if you're applying for a pension. The IKK classic then gets this to ascertain the conditions of the seniors' health insurance obligations (KVdR). The outcome, including whether the pre-insurance period has been satisfied and the start date of the KVdR, will subsequently be communicated to the pension insurance provider and you. Receiving a pension from statutory pension insurance is a prerequisite for the KVdR.
Pensions from other insurance programs, such as covered people's pensions from statutory accident insurance or pensions from private insurance agreements, do not result in KVdR.
Additionally, during their working lives, the prospective retirees must have had statutory health insurance for the majority of the time. If you had statutory health insurance throughout the second half of your working life, you would have been covered for at least 90% of your medical expenses (so-called pre-insurance period). The obligatory pre-insurance term is additionally extended by three years for each kid, stepchild, or foster child.
The prior insurance period can also be completed in the person of the dead in the case of surviving dependents. Orphan pensioners get access to the KVdR without taking a prior insurance term into consideration.
It's good to realize that times covered by private health insurance are typically excluded.
We value you and your family very much. We provide full insurance coverage for you and your loved ones as a result. Family members can be insured for free with us as well. Additionally, you and your family profit from a vast array of supplementary services. As an illustration, consider the IKK Bonus and the IKK Classic Savings Tariffs.

A Nov. 8, 2012, public meeting has been announced by Ohio EPA to discuss a draft hazardous waste permit renewal and modification issued to RMI Titanium Company for its former sodium plant located at 600 State Road in Ashtabula.
The information session and public hearing will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Ashtabula Township Hall (C.D. Ray Community Room), 2718 N. Ridge Road East, Ashtabula. If issued final, the renewal permit and modification would allow RMI to continue addressing historical contamination on the property. While much of the site has undergone corrective action, a closed landfill requires continued monitoring and maintenance.
The draft modification requires RMI to enter into an environmental covenant with Ohio EPA to restrict future use of the facility and ground water. It also requires the company to: properly maintain the landfill cap; implement a ground water monitoring plan; provide funds for long-term monitoring and maintenance; protect authorized personnel working on the property; and prevent unauthorized entry.
In 1992, RMI Titanium ceased production at the sodium plant and later removed the manufacturing buildings. The site was parceled and portions of the property were sold. The landfill, in use between 1950 and 1981, remains on the property.
