Wikipedia β
Ataman (variants: otaman,[1] wataman, vataman; Russian: атаман, Ukrainian: отаман) was a title of Cossack and haidamak leaders of various kinds. In the Russian Empire, the term was the official title of the supreme military commanders of the Cossack armies. The Ukrainian version of the same word is Hetman. Otaman in Ukrainian Cossack forces was a position of a lower rank.
The etymology of the words ataman and hetman is disputed. There may be several independent Germanic and Turkic origins for seemingly cognate forms of the word, all referring to the same concept. The hetman form may derive from the German Hauptmann ('captain', literally 'head-man') by the way of Czech or Polish, like several other titles. The ataman form is more probably of Turkic origin, literally meaning 'father of horsemen'.[2][3] During certain periods, broadly corresponding with involvement with the Polish–Lithuanian or Polish–Lithuanian–Ruthenian Commonwealth, the supreme leader of Ukrainian Cossacks was called the hetman. The ataman form is more commonly found in Russian periods, and exists in modern Russian, Turkish, and Tatar. See also Hetman § Etymology.
Uses in Ukraine and RussiaEdit
Otamans were usually elected by the Host Council or could have been appointed, especially during the military campaigns. The appointed otamans were called acting otaman (наказний отаман, nakazny otaman).
In the Cossack Hetmanate, leaders of non-Cossack military units (artillery, etc.) were also called otamans. In the Cossack Hetmanate, the title was used for the administrative purposes, such as the head of the city, City Otaman (городовий отаман). Later such administrative uses were adopted by the Kuban Cossacks and were common in Kuban Oblast with different variations.
There were various types of otaman:
• Army otaman (військовий отаман), an executive officer in the Zaporizhian Host
• Campaign otaman (похідний отаман)
• Kosh otaman (кошовий отаман)
• Kurin otaman (курінний отаман), a commander of a kurin;
• Sotenny otoman (сотенний отаман) and city otaman (городовий Отаман) were the sotnyk's lieutenants. Those titles were introduced during the Hetmanate in the 17th century. Together with the osaul (осавул, 'aide-de-camp') and chorąży (хорунжий, 'flag-bearer'), this otoman helped the sotnyk in administrative affairs.
• Village otoman (сільський отаман), an administrative rank in the 17th to 18th centuries
• Okrug otaman (окружний отаман), a territorial leader
• Stanytsia otaman (станичний отаман), a territorial leader
• Khutir otaman (хутірський отаман), a territorial leader
20th centuryEdit
The head of the army of the Ukrainian People's Republic, in particular, Symon Petliura, was called Supreme Otaman (головний отаман).

Leonard Sachs
Leonard Meyer Sachs (26 September 1909 – 15 June 1990) was a South African-born British actor.
Life and career.
Sachs was born in the town of Roodepoort, in the then Transvaal Colony, present day South Africa. He was Jewish. He emigrated to the United Kingdom in 1929 and had many television and film roles from the 1930s to the 1980s, including Mowbray in the 1950 BBC Television version of "Richard II", John Wesley in the 1954 film of the same name and Lord Mount Severn in "East Lynne" from 1976.
He founded an Old Time Music Hall, named the Players' Theatre, in Villiers Street, Charing Cross, London. He appeared as the Chairman of the Leeds City Varieties in the long-running BBC television series "The Good Old Days", which ran from 1953 to 1983, and became known for his elaborate, sesquipedalian introductions of the performers. Sachs was honoured in a 1977 episode of "This Is Your Life".
Sachs appeared in "Danger Man" with Patrick McGoohan. He had two appearances in the science fiction series "Doctor Who": as Admiral Gaspard de Coligny in "The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve" in 1966 and as Lord President Borusa in "Arc of Infinity" in 1983. He also appeared in the 1985 Royal Variety Performance in a tribute to "The Good Old Days".
Personal life.
Sachs married the actress Eleanor Summerfield in 1947. The couple had two sons, the actor Robin Sachs and Toby Sachs.
In January 1984, he was fined £75 for "importuning men for an immoral purpose" at Notting Hill Gate tube station.
Sachs died from kidney failure in on 15 June 1990 in Westminster, London, at the age of 80.

A Search for Jovian Planets around Hot White Dwarfs
Current searches for extrasolar planets have concentrated on observing the reflex Doppler shift of solar-type stars. Little is known, however, about planetary systems around nonsolar-type stars. We suggest a new method to extend planetary searches to hot white dwarfs. Near a hot white dwarf, the atmosphere of a Jovian planet will be photoionized and will emit hydrogen recombination lines, which may be detected by high-dispersion spectroscopic observations. Multiepoch monitoring can be used to distinguish between non-LTE stellar emission and planetary emission and to establish the orbital parameters of the detected planets. In the future, high-precision astrometric measurements of the hot white dwarf will allow the masses of the detected planets to be determined. Searches for Jovian planets around hot white dwarfs will provide invaluable new insight on the development of planetary systems around stars more massive than the Sun and on how stellar evolution affects these systems. We present high-dispersion spectroscopic observations of the white dwarf Feige 34 to demonstrate the complexity and feasibility of the search method.

George Moskov
George G. Moskov, last name sometimes spelled Moscov, (1893–1970), was a production manager, producer, director, and writer of films in the U.S. He wrote "Three Blondes in His Life" (1961), directed "Married Too Young" (1962), and produced or served as production manager for over 30 films, including "Charlie Chan in the Secret Service" (1944), "Joe Palooka, Champ" (1946), "The Prairie" (1947), "Champagne for Caesar" (1950), "Chained for Life" (1951), and "That Tender Touch" (1969).
He was from Kharkov, Russian Empire (now Ukraine).
In 1945 he announced the formation of a new film company. George Moskov Productions was to produce the film "Woman of Montmartre".
He was also associated with the company Appalo Pictures with Raoul Pago.
Moskov advised Philip Yordan how to meet budgetary constraints with his film "The Unknown Guest" (1943).
In 1947, he filed suit for $75,000 against independent producer Hal Chester for breach of contract on two "Joe Palooka" films. Moskov claimed that Chester had paid him neither salary nor percentage for Moskov's work as production manager and associate producer.
A "Boxoffice" review of his film "Three Blondes in His Life" (1961) described his production as not "particularly inspired".
Moskov's wife divorced him in 1950. Moskov died in 1970; at the time of his death, he had a wife named Zina and two children.

Will Baker
William T. Baker (born January 19, 1965) is an American perennial candidate from Tacoma, Washington.
Baker, described by the "Tacoma News Tribune" as "a roadside flower salesman with a history of annoying elected officials," has run for Pierce County Auditor, Washington state Auditor, United States Senator, Tacoma city council, and mayor of Tacoma, among other offices, but has never won a contest. He has been repeatedly arrested for speaking past his allotted time during public comment periods of the Tacoma city council, then refusing to yield the floor. On one occasion, in 1997, he continued his monologue after being booked into the Pierce County jail, even refusing to stop after jail guards left the door to his cell open "hoping he'd leave." (According to another report of that incident, Baker refused to leave jail after having bail posted by an acquaintance as he'd learned his landlord had evicted him. Sheriff Mark French attempted to convince Baker to leave jail, but Baker chose to remain in his cell.)
In the 2004 race for state auditor, the Washington State Republican Party nominated Baker as their candidate after efforts to recruit someone else failed, though later admitted they were unaware of his colorful past and had not properly vetted him. (Under Washington elections law at the time, candidates listing party affiliation had to have received endorsement from the party in question; under current state elections law candidates can list affiliation with any party whether approved by that party or not.) Another Washington perennial candidate, Richard Pope, attempted - unsuccessfully - to have Baker removed from the ballot. Baker ultimately lost the election with 32-percent of the vote.
Baker's frequent electoral campaigns have been motivated by what he's explained is institutional corruption that has engulfed Tacoma municipal and Washington state government. In the 2004 election for Auditor he declared the "number one issue ... ought to be the attempts by the FBI to cover up the events surrounding Crystal Brame’s murder" (David Brame was a Tacoma chief of police who murdered his wife, Crystal, before killing himself) while, in his 2010 run for United States Senator, he opined that "Secretary of State Sam Reed and several County Auditors are manipulating the 2010 U.S. Senate election."

Serum endostatin levels in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.
OBJECTIVE
Endostatin, a 20-kDa C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII, specifically inhibits endothelial proliferation and potently inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic potentials of serum endostatin levels in epithelial ovarian cancer.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The preoperative serum levels of endostatin in 61 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer (29 serous, 13 mucinous, 13 endometrioid, 5 clear cell and 1 Brenner cell) were analyzed using a competitive enzyme immunoassay. With regard to staging, 23 cases had stage I disease, 6 had stage II disease, 28 had stage III disease and 4 had stage IV disease.
RESULTS
Serum levels were compared with levels from 22 age-matched healthy volunteer blood donors. The median serum levels were 18.5 ng/ml (range, 6.3-50.3 ng/ml) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and 18.4 ng/ml (range, 8.4-27.0 ng/ml) in controls. No significant difference was noted between the two groups. No clinicopathological features (e.g., patients' age at diagnosis, stage of disease, histological subtype and grade) were significantly associated with serum endostatin levels. Survival data were available for all patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that FIGO stage III-IV (p = 0.015) and serum endostatin levels (> 2 standard deviations above the control mean; 27.7 ng/ml) (p = 0.035) are independent prognostic factors.
CONCLUSION
Elevated serum levels of this endogenous inhibitor of angiogenesis may be a pertinent prognostic indicator for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. It is anticipated that this finding may aid the development of a new therapeutic strategy for epithelial ovarian cancer.

Christopher Martin (rapper)
Christopher Martin (born July 10, 1962) is an American rapper and actor, who is the latter half of the late 1980s/early 1990s hip-hop/comedy duo Kid 'n Play.
Career.
Martin's stage name, Play, is derived from his original MC name, Playboy, which he began using while in a music group, Quicksilver and the Super Lovers, which featured producer Hurby Luv Bug. While performing with this group, Martin met Christopher Reid, who performed as Kid Coolout in the group The Turnout Brothers. When their respective groups dissolved, Martin and Reid decided to perform as a duo. By shortening their nicknames, it would lead to the start of the group Kid 'n Play which featured the pair rapping and dancing together.
With Kid, Play recorded three albums and starred in five hip-hop based comedy films: "House Party", "House Party 2", "Class Act", "House Party 3", and "House Party: Tonight’s the Night".
After the duo split in 1995, Play became a born-again Christian and focused on Christian hip hop. He is the founder and CEO of HP4 Digital, a pre- and post-production multimedia company for film, digital media, and theater.
In 2010, Play starred as an undercover DEA agent in the independent film "The Return".
Play was one of the judges for the 8th annual Independent Music Awards to support independent artists.
He studied acting at HB Studio in New York City.
Personal life.
Play was married to actress/model Shari Headley from May 1993 until they divorced in June 1995. In April 1994, Headley gave birth to their son, Skyler Martin.

Abstract 4603: Detection of pancreatic cancer using rapid dielectrophoresis based recovery of tumor derived extra cellular vesicles and exosomes from plasma
Tumor derived extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, carry cancer related proteins on their outer surfaces making them a valuable source of tumor biomarkers in blood. However, these vesicles are difficult to recover from plasma and this prevents them from being widely used for clinical diagnostic tests. Here we present a technique that uses high conductance dielectrophoresis to rapidly recover these vesicles from plasma allowing for immunofluorescence detection of cancer related biomarkers. We demonstrate this technique can be used to detect biomarkers that successfully distinguish patients with pancreatic cancer from those with benign pancreatic disease, such as pancreatitis, as well as healthy individuals. What makes dielectrophoresis different from other vesicle recovery techniques is that it takes advantage of the large contrast in the dielectric properties between the vesicles and the surrounding plasma. The dielectrophoretic force preferentially draws vesicles to an electrode array at the bottom of a microfluidic chip where they are held in place allowing a fluidic wash to remove the bulk plasma. The vesicles are concentrated at the electrode edge thereby increasing the signal to noise ratio of the fluorescent immunostaining signal and placing the particles in known locations allowing for automated detection and quantification of biomarker levels. This technique takes 30 min to complete, requires 30-50 µl of plasma, and can be highly automated to reduce labor effort making it a promising technology for future translation into the clinical laboratory setting and enabling the use of extracellular vesicles and exosomes for diagnostic applications.

Q: positive
A: Have to give it a 5!! Had the jerk chicken......Excellent!! The woman who served me even came out with a little ox tail for me to try....she got me hooked!! Definitely coming back for the whole meal.
Q: positive
A: I really enjoyed the owners and family and learned a lot about them. Their food is just what queen creek needs (real food) and nothing was bad at all. They're right on Ocotillo and easy to pull off quick to eat. I'm full and satisfied and ready for more. It was my first time eating collard greens and they were very good. The menu is a decent size and they are accommodating.
Q: negative
A: Worst Concierge Service !! I had a small request to have one piece of paper printed from the internet. I went to the Concierge Office to ask if they could help me. There was an older , white haired man there. He was NOT FRIENDLY, and NOT HELPFUL. I was obviously bothering him. He told me Tuscany Suites has a business office and I had to do the small task there. The Business Office is a LONG walk over to the their Casino and up to the 2nd Floor. I hauled my laptop up there to make the one copy. To use their business center and print one copy of a piece of paper, you have to pay to log on to the internet , download the PRINTER DRIVER for their specific printer from the internet , and then you can print the page. I did all this , and the printer did not work. So , for something the Concierge could have helped me with in 2 minutes, I spent an hour of my "vacation" trying to get the one page printed, and still was unsuccessful. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE ever ... and I am here at the Hotel for 4 nights. ( Wish me luck) I am so tempted to try and check out and stay somewhere else.... My advice to Tuscany would be to put someone in the Concierge Office who is people friendly, and enjoys assisting others.
Q: negative
A: Terrible service. Discriminatory service. I will never go here again. We went for brunch on a Saturday morning two weeks ago. We were sat at 10:50am. We waited on our server for a while before we could order at 11:05. I wanted to order an item that wasn't available until 11:30, but I was told that I could not. I told our server (whose name started with a J and contained some 'e's) that I wanted exactly the short stack with berries that was featured in a picture on the menu. "Is that the short stack?" I asked. She said, "Well, the short stack has 6 pancakes." I said, "Yes, and the picture has 6 pancakes, so it's the same, right? It comes with berries?" Server: "Sure." Me: "Ok, I want it just like the picture." Not too confident that she really knew the menu. My husband ordered a 3-course brunch meal with a wrap, soup, and salad. Meanwhile, another table had sat down near us. They ordered, from our same server, at 11:20-- 15 minutes after us-- and the server told them that they COULD order off of the post-11:30 menu. Wow. I could have waited 10 minutes if I'd known that was the difference... in the end, I ended up waiting over an hour for our entrees, anyway. The soup came out fairly quickly. We waited another 25 minutes for the salad. Meanwhile, the table next to us was receiving their food more quickly than ours-- brought out personally by the chef herself. The chef passed by our table and only smiled, never stopped or spoke to us. Our server came by again and asked confirming our wrap order, except she asked me about it, completely forgetting that my husband ordered it, not me. Even later, she came by again and said, "Let me check on your entree order". Even later than that, she came by and said, "It should be 5 minutes, the chef said." During that time, the chef brought out a complimentary sample dish of apple dessert to the table next to us. Then our waiter came back, 5 minutes later (when our entrees should have arrived) and brought us the same dish of apple dessert, because, in her words, "sorry for the delay; here is something that the chef is working on." It was only at 12:25 that we finally received our entrees. Completely inexcusable. The table next to us received theirs less than a minute after us, yet they ordered more than 15 minutes after we did. AGain, the chef brought out their entrees. They were the only table that received visits from the chef even though their server was actually our server. It seemed completely fishy to me. After we'd finished our entrees, a different lady (working the register) came over to our table and asked if our food was ok. She must have seen that we'd been there an hour and a half. She did not offer us anything or offer to discount our meal or anything. Neither did our server. Or the chef. Instead, when we received our bill, I was charged an extra fee for adding berries on the short stack. They were not even good. And, there were only 2 rasberries, the rest were strawberries. In the picture, there were raspberries, blackberries, blueberries. We were planning to come back there every day that we were in LV because the desserts looked so good and we were excited about the food. The whole experience was so disgusting that we refused to return. I highly suggest that you go elsewhere for vegan food in LV. We had a fantastic experience at Komol Thai Restaurant. Delicious AND fast, friendly service. Shame on you, Pura Vida.

Estimation of phase synchrony using the synchrosqueezing transform
Phase synchronization has emerged as an important concept in quantifying interactions between dynamical systems. In this work a robust estimate of the phase synchrony between bivariate signals is presented. This is achieved by extending the recently introduced synchrosqueezing transform (SST), a method that belongs to the class of reassignment techniques that generates highly localized time-frequency representations, so as to cater for bivariate data. The proposed method is shown to generate accurate estimates of phase synchrony on both synthetic and real world signals.

Badminton Club
The Badminton Club is a former London gentlemen's club. According to the 8th Duke of Beaufort in his book "Driving" (1889), the club was founded in 1875 at 100 Piccadilly by a sporting doctor called Hurman. According to the Duke, "this was a thorough coaching establishment, having all the year round a coach, a brake, a team or two... capital stabling and coach-houses, as well as chambers and bedrooms kept for the use of members".
The club was named after Badminton House, the country seat of the Dukes of Beaufort. The 10th Duke was Master of the Horse (1936–1978) to three British monarchs, King Edward VIII, King George VI, and Queen Elizabeth II. Since 1949, Badminton House has hosted the prestigious annual Badminton Horse Trials, a three-day competition event.
In 1883, the club also acquired the adjacent premises at 98 and 99 Piccadilly and a new clubhouse was built on the site, designed by the architect Robert William Edis. The principal internal feature was the "Flower Court", approached through the narrow entrance from Piccadilly.
The club flourished so long as the horse remained supreme in London but, by the late 1930s, driving was only the pastime of a few. The club had lost its raison d’etre and decided to disband in 1938. At about that time the Public Schools Club was on the lookout for larger premises and they took over the clubhouse immediately.
The clubhouse was finally closed in 1972, when the Public Schools Club merged with the East India Club in St James's Square, and was demolished a few years later. The last surviving parts of the clubhouse are the war memorial plaques for members of the Public Schools Club from World War I and World War II and the Badminton Club's plaque for World War I, which are still preserved at the East India Club.

Plot summary.
Phil is an extraterrestrial with shape-shifting ability and telekinetic powers. After crash-landing in Northern Ontario, Phil befriends a red neck child, his father, and a talking beaver as he wanders the Canadian wilderness. Phil is soon introduced to the trappings of small town northern Ontario and adopts the persona and mannerisms of a stereotypical Canadian small town alcoholic while hiding from the ineffectual and mentally traumatized military general who is trying to capture him. Hilarity ensues as his telekinetic powers convince some that he is the Christian messiah and soon joins a local rock band as a singer. A cold hearted assassin from Quebec attempts to end his existence as he and the band go out on tour. The ending consists of suspense, treachery, and dolphins.

Why Britain As We Know Will Die, But America Will Survive | Damien Heads
My name is Damien Heads, and I have been active in and around the political scene for almost ten years. Throughout this time I have experienced profound changes in this country’s politics, both in government, and in the culture itself, driven by both the media, senior politicians, and rebel parties such as UKIP.
I myself was once a member, believing that I could help play at least a small part in pushing the country into what I strongly believe is its natural and very representative place of a conservative disposition.
Despite the monumental achievement of attaining our exit from the EU, which I still believe is one of the greatest things this country has ever done, this country has faced an onslaught of left wing propaganda, including advocating for little-to-no control of our borders, the redefining of what is a man or a woman, and the message that this country is a profoundly racist one, which therefore should institute discriminatory policies against white people to make up for the injustices suffered by minorities, in the form of racial quotas, and the like.
This has recently come to bear fruit most conspicuously in the form of the Black Lives Matter movement, which is an avowedly Marxist movement driven by the most cynical and egregious people in our society. This has come to no surprise however for people like me, who have been following groups like Antifa and BLM for a long time, and are at full knowledge of what they are about. That is not the scary thing though.
The scary thing is that our society’s institutions have all but adopted this madness so to promote their ‘woke’ credentials. In this country, we used to have institutions which would strongly fight back against similar cultural onslaughts, most notably the church. However, even the Church of England has all but embraced this type of empty rhetoric, with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, recently stating we should rethink portraying Jesus as white, in light of the recent BLM protests.
Now all this would be fine if we had some sort of defence against this cultural annihilation, however, the best method we have to fight back against this is through the Conservative Party. And although I believe the Conservative Party is profoundly better than what it used to be, particularly under Theresa May and David Cameron, we are still facing a mammoth task to turn this thing around. That comes most importantly in the reformation of our immigration system, in a way that vastly reduces it from the net 270,000 figure it totalled at the end of last year.
This is because, whatever steps we take to turn this situation around on the cultural battlefront, none of it will matter in a few decades time when the country has been filled with people who are completely hostile to the idea of having controlled borders, and have no respect for the things British people have come to hold dear; such as freedom of speech, equality, low taxes, and a right to a quiet life, where we are not being forced to live according to someone else’s moral code, such as Sadiq Khan who bans swimwear adverts, for fear it makes people feel bad about their bodies; pleasing both the feminists, and the fundamental Islamists who would prefer us all to put our women in burkhas.
So why is the very idea of Britain as it currently is, in peril, but America safe do you ask? Lots of reasons, and they don’t all revolve around Donald Trump, believe it or not. America is largely safe from this nonsense, which has come to dominate much of the Anglosphere, because it has in place the most advanced and protective constitution, and system of government, the world has ever seen. That is if you regard the protection of ‘Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness’ to be the chief goals of any state.

One of the primary achievements of the American constitution is the Bill of Rights, largely based on the English bill of rights, and the philosophy of great British and Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, of whom Thomas Jefferson and many other American founders were great admirers. In this it sets out one of the most important rights a society can have, which is Freedom of Speech, outlined in the First Amendment. Without this fundamental right, the right of an individual to speak out against his or her government, or any sort of tyranny, is vastly diminished, as we can see in the form of hate speech laws in Britain, which have all but flattened much of the discourse around criticism of any kind of Islamic extremism, and any kind of response we could have to it.
The other great triumph of the constitution, which will seem contentious to many British sensibilities, is the right to bear arms, in the form of gun ownership. The main purpose of this, is if ever the government of America stepped out of line, if, for instance, it be in the assault of the freedoms it was built upon, the American people could not just defend themselves, but also have a good chance of taking that government down, if they were denied so in the form of democratic means – a significant Lockean principle in itself.
The last great achievement of the American constitution, along with others Britain has achieved previously, such as the separation of powers, is the delegation of law and government to the state level; in that besides what the constitution outlines on a country-wide level, the state is at will to institute what it deems to be the right law and governing it sees fit. This means that the Federal government of the United States is not able to force upon states much of the law imposed in other countries, but is simply there to look after the union of states as a whole, and protect each individual’s fundamental rights within each state.
This places great significance, in that in America you have choices – choices in how to live and be governed. A luxury which you will not find in Britain, where whatever the government decides, you have to follow, or face the consequences of the law. This is very useful, because if parts of America were ever to become largely tyrannous, or inhospitable, due to poor state level government, or an unruly population (I know many people will be thinking of California), you would have the option to be able to move to somewhere where you feel more comfortable and can prosper much more easily.
All of these great luxuries that America have, and we don’t, with our unwritten constitution, which is subject to constant change under parliamentary rule, puts us in severe danger of a society without the protections it needs to stave off collapse. But it’s not just a matter of law and government which is the problem; the American people are profoundly nationalistic, and are prepared to fight tooth and nail to protect the country they have grown up in and learned to love. As sad as it is to say, I largely do not see this attitude among Britons, except maybe still in the working class communities, who have come to represent much of what is still patriotic about this country.
The real truth is that much of the British people just want a quiet life where they don’t have to be bothered by this modern day nonsense, and attacks on our country’s culture and history. They surely object to it, but to fight against it, putting their life and careers on the line, in a country which is profoundly hostile, bizarrely, to what is mainstream opinion, is another matter.
It would be nice to think that in some romantic sense the British people, as in World War Two, once pushed too far, would bite back vociferously. And to a certain extent that is true if you read great journalists such as Douglas Murray and Peter Hitchens. However, in my opinion, this is far too little, far too late. I am not advocating that we stop fighting however, as I am more than happy to carry on myself, despite the consequences, as that’s just who I am, and I know how many people are, however I do think it’s time we admit that the Britain we once knew, will never be the same again, despite how much we would prefer it to be.

In an effort to save lives, Nevada Highway Patrol is reminding motorists to s-l-o-w d-o-w-n! As part of Joining Forces, a statewide law enforcement program, law enforcement agencies throughout Nevada will be working overtime through June 21, 2015, enforcing speed limit laws.
“Speed plays a major factor in serious injuries and especially fatal crashes.” Says Trooper Loy Hixson with the Nevada Highway Patrol. “When the speedometer goes up, so does the possibility of a tragedy occurring should you be involved in a collision. With higher speeds, a driver will need more reaction time and definitely greater braking distance to stay safe.”
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speed was a factor in almost a third of passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes in 2013. In addition, most of these crashes occurred during night-time hours, specifically between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Most motorists, however, do not believe speeding is as risky as other behaviors, but according to NHTSA, the consequences of driving too fast include:
Greater potential for loss of vehicle control
Reduced effectiveness of occupant protection equipment
Increased stopping distance when the driver perceives a danger
Increased degree of crash severity leading to more debilitating injuries
Unexpected economic and psychological implications of a speed-related crash

How to Create a Great Company Culture
Nov 3, 2019 | Company Culture, Recruiting | 0 comments
When you think of the phrase, “company culture,” it might call to mind things like casual Fridays, office parties, and happy hours. But research suggests that company culture has a remarkable impact on everything from hiring to productivity, to turnover. In fact, according to author James L. Heskett, culture “can account for 20-30% of the differential in corporate performance when compared with “culturally unremarkable competitors.” Job seekers increasingly place company culture at the top of their list when considering a place of employment. And the most successful companies, like Google and Amazon, share the common element of great company culture. Take a look at what defines company culture and how you can create one that thrives.
A company’s culture is an intangible asset comprised of attitudes, values, and behaviors. A successful culture is one designed with a clearly defined mission and set of goals. Some might think a cohesive culture means similar people with congruent ideas, but top-performing businesses prove this to be counterintuitive. Great company cultures don’t require coworkers to share political, religious, or ideological beliefs, but they do require a shared mission and core business values. An effective company culture provides employees with a sense of purpose and motivation beyond a means of income and revenue generation for the company.
While a great company culture might seem like a nice perk, it is actually essential to success, and here is why.
• Culture cannot be copied– An individual culture cannot be duplicated, and that’s a distinct advantage. When you are in sync with your coworkers, you’ll be in sync with your clients, and that creates brand loyalty.
• Decrease in turnover A positive work environment also decreases turnover as happy employees aren’t looking to leave.
• Employee engagement While salary and position are important to employees upon initial hire, a supportive atmosphere is what keeps them engaged.
• Performance improvement Enhanced productivity occurs in environments where people enjoy what they do.
• Attracting new hires– A strong culture is a competitive advantage not only in beating competitor’s sales but also in attracting new hires, especially in today’s candidate-driven market.
Every company has a unique culture, whether they choose to create it, or it takes on a life of its own. To ensure that your company’s culture is desirable, take steps to steer the direction. Use these tips to compile the right team and strengthen your company’s culture.
Start by defining your core mission and values, and let those guide your decisions. Everything from the people you hire, to the policies you enforce, to the benefits you offer should be governed by your guiding principles. Your purpose defines why you do what you do, and your values determine how you do it.
An inviting culture starts at the top- how do you engage with your employees? If you want your employees to collaborate well and value being on your team, then you need to demonstrate collaboration and an appreciation for your team. Employees need to feel validated, and that starts with how you treat them. Schedule mentoring sessions, and “town hall” style meetings, where employees can voice their ideas. Make yourself approachable and available to foster a sense of community. Offer competitive pay and benefits, and reward hard work with incentives, to boost company morale.
A diverse team with a multifaceted approach generates broader client acquisition. But different lifestyles, habits, and personalities can end up compartmentalized by departments and cubicles. The way to encourage a homogeneous culture is to provide opportunities to mingle. While corporate events and happy hours have their place, human interaction is often most authentic during the daily grind. We all have to eat lunch, grab a coffee, or get a breath of fresh air, so make space for such activities onsite. An atrium, break room, patio, or game room can help type A’s, type B’s, left-brains, and right-brains link up to find commonalities.
Positive recognition is known to enhance employee productivity. Great companies know that it’s important to provide incentives, as well as encouragement along the way. With employer validation comes a sense of loyalty and connection, which prevents costly turnover. In fact, companies with high levels of employee recognition lose 31% fewer employees to voluntary turnover. That connection is what helps companies through changes: when a bond is strong, teams will seek to adapt to change, in order to stay together.
Successful brands look at top performers to see what they have in common. What traits are winning the day, and advancing some employees faster than others? While you may have already identified the traits you seek in employees, you should also be seeking out new traits that prove to be effective. When it’s clear that common characteristics are generating revenue, add them to your mission statement, and seek them in future hires. Assessments can be used to identify traits internally and also seek values-based traits both in current employees and prospective hires.
It is important to note that hiring based on values does not mean hire candidates who all share the same opinions and identical skills. Groupthink and lockstep might prevent confrontation, but they also stifle creativity. When everyone agrees, all of the time, your business might actually stagnate. Learn to measure an applicant’s values and behaviors against your company’s mission, to assess how they handle different situations. Collaboration is key to innovation, so hire candidates who are eager to bring something new to the team, not just fall in step.
Most people spend more waking hours at work than they do at home. In that sense, your coworkers are a type of family, and great company cultures promote that. Rituals are the things that set groups apart and give them a sense of belonging. They also take the mundane nature of the workday and infuse it with anticipation. Strong brands look to individualize their traditions, and make them unique to their purpose. Rituals should be specific to your company’s culture, so take the pulse to see what type of tradition would best fit your atmosphere.
Free snacks and matching t-shirts are fun for a minute, but they don’t define your company’s culture. To truly identify who you are as a company, look not only at what you do, but also how, and why you do it. Determine the values you want to uphold and the mission that keeps you motivated. Seek out the characteristics in your employees that mirror your vision, and reward and promote those behaviors.

Type-setting quadruple bonds in LaTeX
How does one typeset quadruple bonds in LaTeX? I've tried several things: Vertically stacking equal signs, putting lines in tables, etc.
Single up to tripple bonds is easy (by using the chemfig package, https://www.sharelatex.com/learn/Chemistry_formulae), but quadruple bonds seem to be different.
I've created a "quadruple bond" this way:
\begin{table}
\resizebox{5mm}{!}{
\begin{tabular}{c}
\rule[0mm]{22mm}{1pt} \\
\rule[0mm]{22mm}{1pt} \\
\rule[0mm]{22mm}{1pt} \\
\rule[0mm]{22mm}{1pt}
\end{tabular}
}
\end{table}
Still trying to figure a way of placing it in-line..
If, as per your comment, you just want to draw the bond as part of a line of text, I’d go straight for the Tikz that underlies chemfig:
\newcommand{\quadruplebond}[2]{
\begin{tikzpicture}[x=3em, y=0.2ex]
\node (a1) at (0,0) {#1};
\node (a2) at (1,0) {#2};
\foreach \i in {-3,-1,1,3} {
\path (a2.west) +(0,\i) node[coordinate] (t\i) {};
\draw (a1.east) +(0,\i) -- (t\i);
}
\end{tikzpicture}
}
will allow you to write \quadruplebond{Ti}{Ti} and get Ti-quadruple bond-Ti. Change the x and y values to adjust the bond length and spacing. This is not the most sophisticated code imaginable but will at least scale with text sizes.
(To use this code in general you will need \usepackage{tikz}, but if you are already loading chemfig this will have been done for you.)

Racial/Ethnic Differences in Ischemic Stroke Rates and the Efficacy of Warfarin Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Department of Cardiology, Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, 1526 Edgemont St, 2nd floor, Los Angeles, California 90027, USA.
Stroke (Impact Factor: 5.72). 10/2008; 39(10):2736-43. DOI: 10.1161/STROKEAHA.107.508580
Source: PubMed
Warfarin reduces stroke risk in studies of predominantly white patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Whether nonwhites also have lower rates of stroke while treated with warfarin is unclear.
A multiethnic stroke-free cohort hospitalized with nonrheumatic AF was identified in a large health maintenance organization. Stroke risk factors (advanced age, diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure), warfarin use, and anticoagulation intensity were assessed. Crude ischemic stroke rates were calculated by Poisson regression for each group while using and not using warfarin. Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to assess the independent effect of race/ethnicity on ischemic stroke.
Between 1995 and 2000, we identified 18867 AF hospitalizations (78.5% white, 8% black, 9.5% Hispanic, and 3.9% Asian). Over the course of 63204 person-years follow-up (median, 3.3 years), 1226 ischemic strokes were identified. The percent-time on warfarin did not differ by race/ethnicity. The median percent-time on warfarin that international normalized ratio was 2 to 3 was 54.5% overall, but it was lower in blacks at 47.8%, whereas the other groups had a rate of approximately 54%. The rate ratios (95% CI) of ischemic stroke with warfarin compared to without warfarin for whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians were 0.79 (0.68 to 0.90), 0.92 (0.65 to 1.30), 0.71 (0.48 to 1.05), and 0.65 (0.34 to 1.23), respectively.
In this cohort, we did not observe a statistically significant lower rate of stroke with warfarin therapy among nonwhites (in particular blacks) with previous AF hospitalizations. The relatively small numbers of nonwhites renders our estimates less than precise and should be interpreted with caution.

ABSTRACT: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia seen in clinical practice. It affects approximately 6% of persons over 65 years of age and is independently associated with a 4- to 5-fold higher risk of ischaemic stroke and a 2-fold higher risk of death. Randomized controlled trials have shown that treatment with adjusted-dose oral vitamin K antagonists (primarily warfarin with a target international normalized ratio [INR] of 2.0-3.0) reduces the relative risk of ischaemic stroke by two-thirds (an approximately 3% reduction in annual absolute risk), but is associated with a 0.2% excess annual absolute risk of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH). However, in 'real world' studies, the risk reductions in ischaemic stroke with warfarin have been significantly lower (25-50% relative risk reduction) than in selected trial samples. Moreover, more than 90% of patients enrolled in the sentinel trials were White/European. This raises the question of whether the beneficial results of warfarin can be extrapolated to persons of colour. Important differences in stroke risk profile and responsiveness to warfarin exist across racial/ethnic groups, such that one cannot assume a priori that there is a net benefit of warfarin therapy for AF patients of all racial/ethnic groups.Among patients with ischaemic stroke, AF is more likely to be implicated as the cause of stroke in the White population than in other racial/ethnic groups. Furthermore, AF may be a stronger predictor of ischaemic stroke among the White population than in Black or Hispanic/Latino populations. Approximately one-third of strokes in AF patients are noncardioembolic. Warfarin has been shown to be ineffective in preventing recurrent noncardioembolic strokes. Many persons of colour with AF have other risk factors that predispose them to noncardioembolic stroke, which may partially explain why warfarin has been reported to be less efficacious in preventing strokes in non-White patients with AF, even after adjustment for co-morbidities and anticoagulation monitoring. Notably, the background incidence of ICH is higher in Black, Hispanic and Asian patients than in White patients. Any greater than expected increases in bleeding secondary to anticoagulation may potentially offset any benefit gained from cardioembolic stroke reduction, although this has not been fully resolved.Finally, there are racial/ethnic differences in the prevalence of certain polymorphisms in genes that influence warfarin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (e.g. cytochrome P450 2C9 and vitamin K epoxide reductase). The Asian population generally appear to require the lowest daily dose of warfarin to maintain a given INR target, with the White population requiring an intermediate daily dose and the Black population requiring the highest daily dose. These differences must be taken into account when administering warfarin in order to minimize the risk of under- or over-anticoagulation.In summary, warfarin is highly effective in preventing ischaemic strokes in White patients with AF at a modestly higher risk of ICH. Whether the same net clinical benefit extends to persons of colour is unproven. Given the rapidly changing demographic nationally and internationally, additional research is needed to resolve this important question.

ABSTRACT: The optimal antithrombotic strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is unknown. The 622 consecutive AF patients undergoing DES implantation were prospectively enrolled. Among them, 142 patients (TT group) continued triple antithrombotic therapy comprising aspirin, clopidogrel and warfarin after discharge; 355 patients (DT group) had dual antiplatelet therapy; 125 patients (WS group) were discharged with warfarin and a single antiplatelet agent. Target INR was set as 1.8-2.5 and was regularly monitored after discharge. The TT group had a significant reduction in stroke and major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE) (8.8% vs 20.1% vs 14.9%, P=0.010) as compared with either the DT or WS group. In the Cox regression analysis, administration with warfarin (hazard ratio (HR) 0.49; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.31-0.77; P=0.002) and baseline CHADS(2) score >or=2 (HR 2.09; 95%CI 1.27-3.45; P=0.004) were independent predictors of MACCE. Importantly, the incidence of major bleeding was comparable among 3 groups (2.9% vs 1.8% vs 2.5%, P=0.725), although the overall bleeding rate was increased in the TT group. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the TT group was associated with the best net clinical outcome. The cardiovascular benefits of triple antithrombotic therapy were confirmed by reducing the MACCE rate, and its major bleeding risk might be acceptable if the INR is closely monitored.

ABSTRACT: Atrial fibrillation is a common cause of stroke with a known preventive treatment. We compared poststroke recurrence and survival in Mexican Americans (MAs) and non-Hispanic whites (NHWs) with atrial fibrillation in a population-based study. Using surveillance methods from the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi Project, cases of ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack with atrial fibrillation were prospectively identified from January 2000 to June 2008. Recurrent stroke and all-cause mortality were compared by ethnicity with survival analysis methods. A total of 236 patients were available (88 MAs, 148 NHWs). MAs were younger than NHWs, with no ethnic differences in severity of the first stroke or proportion discharged on warfarin. MAs had a higher risk of stroke recurrence than did NHWs (Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival free of stroke recurrence risk at 28 days and 1 year were 0.99 and 0.85 in MAs and 0.98 and 0.96 in NHWs, respectively; P=0.01, log-rank test), which persisted despite adjustment for age and sex (hazard ratio=2.46; 95% CI, 1.19-5.11). Severity of the recurrent stroke was higher in MAs than in NHWs (P=0.02). There was no ethnic difference in survival after stroke in unadjusted analysis or after adjusting for demographic and clinical factors (hazard ratio=1.03; 95% CI, 0.63-1.67). MAs with atrial fibrillation have a higher stroke recurrence risk and more severe recurrences than do NHWs but no difference in all-cause mortality. Aggressive stroke prevention measures focused on MAs are warranted.

A Fabry-Pérot interferometer with wire-grid polarizers as beamsplitters at terahertz frequencies.
The design of a compact Fabry-Pérot interferometer (FPi) and results of the experimental studies carried out using the device are presented. Our FPi uses freestanding wire-grid polarizers (WGPs) as beamsplitters and is suitable for use at terahertz (THz) frequencies. The FPi was studied at the LUCX facility, KEK, Japan, and an 8 MeV linear electron accelerator was used to generate coherent Smith-Purcell radiation. The FPi was designed to be easy to align and reposition for experiments at linear accelerator facilities. All of the components used were required to have a flat or well understood frequency response in the THz range. The performance of the FPi with WGPs was compared to that of a Michelson interferometer and the FPi is seen to perform well. The effectiveness of the beamsplitters used in the FPi is also investigated. Measurements made with the FPi using WGPs, the preferred beamsplitters, are compared to measurements made with the FPi using silicon wafers as alternative beamsplitters. The FPi performs well with both types of beamsplitter in the frequency range used (0.3-0.5 THz). The successful measurements taken with the FPi demonstrate a compact and adaptable interferometer that is capable of analyzing THz radiation over a broad frequency range. The scheme is particularly well suited for polarization studies of THz radiation produced in an accelerator environment.

Unexpected function of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase in supporting hyperglycolysis in stimulated neutrophils: key role of 6‐phosphofructo‐2‐kinase
The phagocyte NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2) is an enzymatic complex that is involved in innate immunity, notably via its capacity to produce toxic reactive oxygen species. Recently, a proteomic analysis of the constitutively active Nox2 complex, isolated from neutrophil fractions, highlighted the presence of 6‐phosphofructo‐2‐kinase (PFK‐2). The purpose of this workwas to study the relationship between PFK‐2 and NADPHoxidase in neutrophils. Data have underlined a specific association of the active phosphorylated form of PFK‐2 with Nox2 complex in stimulated neutrophils. In its active form, PFK‐2 catalyzes the production of fructose‐2, 6‐bisphosphate, which is the main allosteric activator of phosphofructo‐1‐kinase, the limiting enzyme in glycolysis. Pharmacologic inhibition of PFK‐2 phosphorylation and cell depletion in PFK‐2 by a small interfering RNA strategy led to a decrease in the glycolysis rate and a reduction in NADPH oxidase activity in stimulated cells. Surprisingly, alteration of Nox2 activity impacted the glycolysis rate, which indicated that Nox2 in neutrophils was not only required for reactive oxygen species production but was also involved in supporting the energeticmetabolismincrease thatwas induced by inflammatory conditions. PFK‐2 seems to be a strategic element that links NADPH oxidase activation and glycolysismodulation, and, as such, is proposedas a potential therapeutic target in inflammatory diseases.—Baillet, A., Hograindleur, M.‐A., El Benna, J., Grichine, A., Berthier, S., Morel, F., Paclet, M.‐H.

Unlocking my Cingular / AT&T phone
AT&T Death Star
AT&T allows some customers to "unlock" their phones. This allows the use of a SIM card from a different provider (for example, VodaFone) while traveling. (It also allows you to use the phone with another GSM provider in the US after your AT&T contract is finished, which is one reason AT&T and other carriers lock the phones they subsidize.)
I don't know exactly what makes a customer "eligible" to have a phone unlocked, but I suspect that you have to have made several payments on time and be in good standing. When I am under a new contract with a subsidized phone I typically wait a few months (in this case, about 6) before calling in to ask to have my phone unlocked. I've had T-Mobile unlock three phones (under 2 different contracts) for me in the past, but this was the first time I tried it with AT&T.
I suspect that AT&T has an official policy of making it difficult to unlock your phone. Here is my experience:
On my first call (September 25th) the customer service representative asked for my phone's IMEI (a phone Specific ID number which can be found by entering *#06#) and put me on hold for ten minutes. After that wait, they confirmed that I was "eligible" for unlocking, and said they would send me the unlock code and instructions via email, with an expected resolution on the afternoon of October 3rd. (Yes, that's 8 days to look up the subsidy unlock code…) The entire call took around ten minutes.
Commentary: The process of retrieving a subsidy unlock code using an IMEI should take all of 1 minute if the customer service agent had access to the database. If they had to submit a ticket for a higher level technician to look up and return the unlock code it should still take only a few hours. The only reason I can think of for delaying at this point is to hope the user forgets about asking for the unlock code.
Nine days later, I had not received an email with the unlock code, so I called AT&T back on October 4th at 6:18pm. After spending a few minutes on hold waiting for a customer service representative, I was connected with Louise. After I had explained why I was calling, she asked if she could put me on (silent) hold, and I sat on the line for six minutes before she came back, apologized for the delay, and asked if she could put me on (silent) hold again, which lasted another 8 minutes before she came back on the line. At this point she gave me the subsidy unlock code (an 8 digit number) and the instructions for using them. [Insert a foreign (non-AT&T) SIM card, enter the number.] The entire call took 24 minutes.
Commentary: Either Louise (and AT&T's customer support system) is terribly slow, or the two (6 and 8 minute) holds are designed to make the customer give up before their phone is unlocked. The wait time was longer than with T-Mobile (although I also had to make a 2nd (follow-up) call to T-Mobile on one occasion.) All in all getting a phone unlocked is annoying enough to prevent people from doing it casually, but not quite difficult enough for AT&T to get hit with a class action lawsuit.

Human rights commissioner Tim Wilson says many of the cartoons published by French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo would be banned in Australia under existing laws.
Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act makes it illegal to offend, insult or humiliate someone based on racial grounds.
The federal government last year proposed repealing that clause in the Act but decided against it, citing concerns from the Muslim community.
Mr Wilson has now joined renewed calls to change the Act for the sake of free speech, in light of the terror attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, ABC News reports.
"Around the world, if you're going to say you believe in free speech and that people should have the freedom to offend or insult somebody, then the solution cannot be censorship," he said.
"That is what we have in Australia today. We have a law that makes it unlawful to offend or insult somebody.
"So people are either being hypocrites when they say, 'Je Suis Charlie,' and saying they defend these people's right to free speech, or they actually believe in free speech and recognise that laws that make it unlawful to insult or offend people are censorious and would see that Charlie Hebdo would be censored in Australia."

Cameron rejects bishops' warning against scapegoating people on benefits
David Cameron has rejected an expected warning from bishops about his welfare cuts, saying it was not fair or dignified to “pay people to stay idle”.
The prime minister said he welcomed the debate but called on the Church of England to support the principle of “self-reliance” behind his benefit changes.
Cameron made the comments before the publication of a letter on Tuesday afternoon in which the house of bishops is expected to call for debate on issues such as nuclear defence and the economy, as well as urging political parties to avoid scapegoating groups such as immigrants and those on benefits.

The bishop of Buckingham, Dr Alan Wilson, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme it would be an abdication of responsibility for them to stay out of politics and rejected the “ludicrous” suggestion of Tory MPs that people used food banks simply because they existed, rather than out of want.
He said the letter was to address “cynicism and disenchantment with professional politicians” and help them “take a fresh look at things”.
As Cameron set out plans to make 18- to 21-year-olds do community work in return for benefits, he defended the philosophy behind Conservative welfare changes. He said Labour had infantilised benefit claimants and argued it was “not big-hearted” to leave people claiming sickness allowances when they could be incentivised to get treatment for alcohol dependence or obesity.
He added: “On bishops and politics, I’m always keen for anyone to intervene in politics. I think it’s good that we want to have a political debate in our country.
“But let’s look at what we’re doing to help people who are in work in our country. First of all were creating many, many more jobs … We’re cutting people’s taxes … and we’ve created an economy with genuine growth, real jobs and real security.
“And I would say to the bishops, I hope they would welcome that because it does bring dignity, it does bring self-reliance, it does enable people to provide for their families, it creates a stronger society as well as a stronger economy. And a welfare system that pays people to stay idle when they could work – that is not the sign of a strong economy or a strong or good society.”
The coalition has already made billions of pounds in welfare cuts by freezing payments below inflation, introducing the bedroom tax and capping total payments per family.
However, the Conservatives have said they would seek another £12bn in welfare cuts if they get back into power at May’s election.
So far, Cameron is proposing taking away housing benefit from under-21s, reviewing taking sickness benefits away from people with treatable conditions who refuse help and planning to lower the £26,000 a year benefit cap.
However, more cuts to working age welfare will be needed given the Tories are not planning to touch universal benefits for pensioners. They are also thought to be considering limiting child benefit to the first few children.
In a speech in Hove, East Sussex, Cameron made an attempt to answer some of his critics who say the planned cuts are too harsh.
He said: “I would ask them: is it compassionate to leave people on the dole for years with no incentive to get into work?
“Is it big-hearted to leave people on sickness benefit without checking if they can work, if given the right help? Is it kind to sentence people to never going anywhere, of letting people in their teens and 20s sit at home all day slipping into depression and despair?”
The Liberal Democrats condemned Cameron’s plans to make 18- to 21-year-olds work for their benefits.
A spokesman said: “These placements are not designed to help someone into work, more to punish. Just like the Tory plans to axe housing benefit for young people, it’s all stick and no carrot.
“Young people should be given help and support into the work place, help at job centres, and the opportunity to get on in life, not just written off as feckless and lazy.”

The 57 suburbs in Sydney where you can still get value for money for an apartment
When it comes to Sydney property, luxury usually comes with an enormous price tag – but it is possible to get resort-style living without breaking the bank.
A 9NEWS investigation can reveal 57 suburbs across Sydney where the median apartment price is below $700,000.
Penrith is the cheapest at $363,000, while Bankstown is also under $500,000.
Meanwhile, in Erskineville – just six kilometres from the city – the median unit price is still below the $700,000 threshold.
Some Sydney suburbs are proving apartment living is possible on a budget. (Supplied)
New developments of up to $750,000 are attractive to buyers as owners can still be eligible for the first homebuyer’s grant.
Developments of up to $550,000 give the owner exemption concessions on stamp duty, some of which are still available up to $650,000.

GoPro CEO: Why more tech companies don't go public
Nick Woodman, CEO of action camera maker GoPro GPRO , doesn’t regret taking his company public last year, despite some of its recent stock troubles. But he does have an idea about why some others have been delaying.
Speaking on Tuesday at a private tech event in California, Woodman recalled that numerous people had warned him against a GoPro IPO, saying that he’d live to regret the experience. But once the company had built out its management team and focused its vision, Woodman realized something very important about the naysayers:
“People kept telling be that I’d hate it from a public-facing point of view, and that it would all be a giant distraction,” Woodman explained. “But what I realized was that all of the people telling me that were introverts. I think going on TV and that of stuff is kind of fun. The extra work is really for the CFO and the finance and legal departments.”
Woodman, who originally conceived of GoPro so that he could record his own surfing exploits, added that the company’s IPO significantly increased global brand awareness and aided in recruiting new employees.

Marching for Education
By Katie Muller
To my mind, marching has two overlapping definitions and many conflicting associations. Both definitions are political, both referring to the occurrence of many bodies moving together. One is the militaristic kind, related to soldiering drills, brass bands, regimental uniforms and a strict 4/4 beat. The other is potentially anti-establishment, a form of protest predicated on the hope that many, many people occupying a public space and moving in the same direction towards an entrapped but righteous goal can attain that goal through the sheer power of their combined body mass and like-minded will.
To many people, both of these ways of moving are abstract, received via media rather than experience. Most people are not soldiers and let’s face it, despite a marginal increase in recent years most people are also not protesters. But both soldiers and protesters are real entities with real influence. Somehow, no matter who you are, you know about soldiers and you know how soldiers march. You probably learnt it before you had a choice in the matter. This is the insidious nature of Early Childhood Education, and the underlying target of this article. If you came across mass protesting at a similar age that you came across soldier marching, you are probably in a minority but also, historically-speaking, in good company. If you think that teaching children soldier marching is an innocuous way to expose young minds to basic rhythm, counting and coordination skills, read on.
When I was 5 years old, I started going to ‘music appreciation’ class. The class consisted of a small group of pre-schoolers, squashed into a piano teaching room and armed weekly with shakers, tambourines, triangles and castanets. Our teacher would play music on a tape recorder or on the piano and we learnt to shake and tap out the beat. 1 – 2 – 3 – 4, 1 – 2 – 3 – 4. We were being exposed to the hallmarks of early music lessons; rhythm, time-keeping and following a given beat, along with the necessary counting and co-ordination skills demanded by these tasks. My memories have faded but I recall the seemingly purposeless demand that we all shake our instruments and move out feet at the same time. It didn’t always work and it wasn’t always fun, but as a typical WASP child I internalised even then that the experience was almost certainly good for us.
More than 20 years later, I ended up becoming a teacher in what is called the Foundation Phase in South Africa. This category refers to Grades R – 3, or the age group of 5 – 9 years. The term ‘Foundation Phase’ is indicative of what is expected of learning and teaching during this time of a child’s life. This period is foundational. It is the platform from which children build and leap towards increasingly advanced ideas, understandings and skills that are bound to meet them later in life. This platform is created predominantly in the brain, as certain neural networks are developed and others abandoned, a person becomes who they are and will be.
In South Africa’s curriculum a Foundation Phase teacher is responsible for teaching every aspect of the curriculum to their students. This encompasses mathematics, language skills, physical education, performing arts, visual arts, basic sciences and social skills. While a few primary schools across the country can afford to hire specialist teachers to teach the outlying subjects like P.E, Art, Music and Drama, the vast majority of teachers are expected to incorporate these learning areas into their everyday teaching practice. The hot word to toss about in order to justify how this unwieldy array of subjects can be taught by just one person is ‘integration’. This refers to the integration of subjects and manifests in a kind of multi-tasking where one skill is taught across different contexts and subjects, or where different approaches (linguistic, kinaesthetic, visual or aural) are used to teach singular concepts. In a proverbial sense, integrating subjects in the Foundation Phase is to try to kill as many bids as possible with one stone, always.
Enter solider marching. Hurrah! Here we have a fun, educational and holistic way to teach a multitude of vital skills to an otherwise undisciplined and rowdy hoard. What could be better? The list of benefits is expansive. You can teach beginning principals of repetition and pattern-making, vital to mathematics and later, algebra. Children can learn coordination skills involving the use of voice, hands and legs working in rhythmic harmony (and not just within one body but across many). Teamwork! Discipline! Standardisation and sameness! If there are words to the marching song, you can teach those too. Language! If it’s part of a school play, you can make costumes. Adorable children wearing soldier costumes! It’s so simple and brilliant.
Now to make matters complicated, it’s not sarcasm you are starting to hear, its confliction. Yes, teaching principals of military marching to small children and pretending it is innocuous and innocent sounds problematic and it is. But, on the other, soldier marching can genuinely help teach all the skills mentioned above and most of the time you can expect that the anguished, bloodied cries from real battlefields echoing across the chasm of our dismal human history are conveniently pushed out of the teaching narrative so that the happily marching pre-schoolers have no idea that they are marching in the footsteps of cannon fodder. There is a pervasive notion that pretty much any content (no matter how violent its history and origins) can be made ‘child friendly’ with the right editing. I suppose the question I am approaching is, what is the payoff here? What is gained in terms of learning opportunity and what is compromised, as children unwittingly become complicit in the sanctioned, organised violence of war-mongering adults? It really comes down to the aims of your education system. Do the authorities want a society of would-be soldiers? Well, they might not say so in as many words, but there can be little doubt that soldier qualities such obedience, high discipline, resilience and even patriotism are typical of the socialising aims of education and subsequently in high demand. So, in a round-about way – Yes, they want soldiers. Soldiers are brave, they are strong, they fight. They are formidable. They move in formation, their ranks cannot be broken except by disaster, after which they are…dispensable, replaceable. Great! So let’s march!
But before this turns fully into a cynical anti-war diatribe (which it is, also) I want to get back to the children, in the classroom; to the determined teacher, who needs to fit a maths lesson, a movement lesson, a language lesson, a music lesson and a social cohesion lesson into one period (all glued together by a sticky distribution of discipline, don’t forget). What are their alternatives really? Perhaps I am being a gloomy naysayer. Perhaps I am spoiling all the fun and jumping to conclusions. Or perhaps there just are better ways to march. Better ways to teach all that rhythm, counting, time-keeping, coordinating and musicality.
Oh wait. There is. It’s called All Other Music Ever.
The problem is that military marching is popular, celebrated even – and this is particularly true of the marching band. Historically a military’s marching bands had direct ties to the battlefield, but as the battlefield changed, the role of the marching band moved into the ceremonial and symbolic sphere. Modern day marching bands are steeped in militaristic connotations, but they don’t go to war. They make music. And marching bands in schools get kids to make music together, for others. Accounts on Google (I claim no personal experience) suggest that it is a geeky but nonetheless inspiring and ideal recreational activity for teenagers. So why not start your youngster early? So much is written on the benefit of music and movement in young children’s education, to improve their learn capacity and their futures. It becomes difficult to argue that it is a bad idea altogether, and honestly, I don’t think I can soundly make that argument.
Perhaps the issue is in the editing; the way in which material deemed suitable for children is trimmed, styled and packaged. When actions you enforce on children (for the well-meaning purpose of furthering their education, of course) are decontextualized and even rose-tinted, they risk being lost in translation. It does not mean that the action or movement or idea is inappropriate altogether, just that, perhaps, it could be transmitted to children in a way that gives them more credit for who they are and who they could become. Our children become complicit in whatever they learn, be it by role-playing, modelling, practicing or performing so the nuances of what they are exposed to – how the idea of a solider march, a brass band, a protest, a battle-cry is transmitted – is the real muscle of educational methodology. It’s what you include and what you leave out that really counts.
But even this conclusion makes it sound like adult’s decisions about educating children are the crux of the matter, and this should not be the case. Children are more knowing, more powerful than they are usually given credit for. Testament to this is the other kind of marching, the hopeful and desperate kind. The occasions in history where children have marched against unjust regimes are held up as signs of social evolution, signs that the society in question is shedding an old skin and claiming an alternative future. Unfortunately, this alternate future is harder to claim than it should be, and this is almost certainly, always, the fault of the adults in charge. Fuck adults.
In Birmingham, Alabama, 1963, we have the shiny example of thousands of school children who walked out of their classes to join peaceful mass protests for black civil rights, changing Birmingham’s political future. Decades later parents and teachers involved in #BlackLivesMatter have to educate their children about the movements’ politics, building their awareness and fostering engagement in what is still a dangerously and depressingly anti-black nation. In South Africa the deadlier example is the Sowetan Children’s uprising of 1976, which triggered nationwide anti-apartheid protest and resulted in hundreds of deaths. The first day of protest – June 16th 1976 – is remembered officially by way of a public holiday, but the memory of this historic uprising is more pertinently encapsulated in the current anger and actions of black university students, as they rage about the futility of those historic deaths, in a country that still grossly undervalues black life. It is similarly encapsulated in numerous massive children’s marches that have taken place in recent years, to protest the dismal state of South Africa’s public schools. One of the more peculiar arguments I have heard against #FeesMustFall is that the student protesters should be grateful to have made it to university in the first place and that more attention should instead be paid to South Africa’s faulty Basic Education System. This is typical adulating, playing God over whose life is more important – this young child or this young adult? Fuck adults, they make so many terrible decisions. Of course, Basic Education is important, you nitwits, but withholding further education from young adults is simply furthering already atrocious neglect.
But see, when young people stand up together to use their bodies and voices against a blind and dangerous authority, it has some special effects on the grown-ups. Some of them (usually the ones who make the terrifying decisions) get a real scare and call security, interpreting the children’s actions as a threat to the status quo (which it is). But if they’re another kind of grown-up, they get a secret thrill. These are the ones who know that children actually are the best. They are brilliant bull-shit detectors, they can do pretty much anything that grown-ups can do and maybe one day they’ll soldier march us all into the sea and start this whole drill over. I think the secret thrill comes from knowing that as a child, you had all that power and potential too. The secret thrill is imagining that it may still be there, with a fighting chance to get out. And so, these rare adults cheer the children on, fuelled by their secret thrill, wishing to take part. But they can’t, because years ago they too had a grown-up in charge of them, who turned on the proverbial tape recorder and told all the children to tap their instruments to the same beat, and move their legs at the same time. The same the better. The samer the better, march to an unchanging world, they said, and the obedient adults did.

Oral administration of highly bright Cr3+ doped ZnGa2O4 nanocrystals for in vivo targeted imaging of orthotopic breast cancer.
Near-infrared (NIR) long lasting persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) have attracted considerable attention in the area of in vivo bioimaging, due to their background-free luminescence characteristics and deep tissue penetration. However, the low fluorescence quantum yield and short afterglow of the currently available PLNPs limit their applications. Here, water-soluble Cr3+-doped ZnGa2O4 PLNPs with the highest quantum yield (η = 20%) ever reported, bright NIR emission, and excellent colloidal stability were successfully prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method. The afterglow of the resultant nanocrystals lasted for more than 5 days and could be repeatedly reactivated by the light (λ = 657 nm) of a portable light emitting diode lamp after decay. These nanocrystals were functionalized with α,ω-dicarboxyl-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(acrylic acid) to improve their stability and biocompatibility, so that they could be conjugated with a c(RGDyK) peptide and labeled with 99mTc for targeted imaging of orthotopic breast cancer by afterglow luminescence imaging and single-photon emission computed tomography imaging. Our NIR-PLNP probes can effectively avoid tissue auto-fluorescence and the light scattering caused by continuous excitation during the diagnosis of cancer.

Los Angeles Clippers
2013-2014 It's Time Campaign
With so much electricity and emotion propelling the team and its new coach into the 2013-14 season, expectations were sky high. Needless to say, it was going to take a powerful platform to push the Clippers to the next level. IT’S TIME perfectly captured the excitement and urgency felt by fans and players alike. Clearly, everyone was ready. The Clippers logged a record-breaking 2013-14 season and playoff run.

Everybody Dies But Not Everybody Lives
It is not death most people are afraid of! It is getting to the end of life only to realize that you never truly lived. There was a study done in a hospital, study on 100 elderly people facing death close to their last breath, they were asked to reflect about their life’s biggest regret. Nearly all of them said they regretted not the things they did, but the things they didn’t do. The risks they never took. The dreams they didn’t pursue. I ask you, will your last words be, ” If only I had…” Hey, you wake up!
Why do you exist? Life is not meant to simply work, wait for the weekend and pay rent. No, no, I don’t know much, but I know this, every person on this earth has a gift. And I apologize to the Black community, but I can no longer pretend Martin Luther King that man never had a dream. That dream had him see people don’t choose dreams, dreams choose them so the question, I’m getting to is, do you have the courage to grab the dream that picked you, that befits you and grips you. Or will you let it get away and slip through?
You know I learned the fact about airplanes the other day. Now this was so surprised and see I was talking to a pilot and he told me that many of his Passengers think planes are dangerous to fly in. But he said actually it is a lot more dangerous for a plane to stay on the ground. Say what? Like how does that sound well? He said because on the ground the plane starts to rust malfunction and wear, much faster than it ever would if it was in the air as I walked away, I thought yeah makes total sense. Because planes were built to live in the skies and every person was built to live out the dream they have inside.
So, it is perhaps the saddest loss to live a life on the ground without ever taking off. See most of us are afraid of the thief that comes in the night to steal all of our things. But there is a thief in your mind who is after your dreams? His name is doubt, if you see him call the cops and keep him away from the kids, because he is wanted for murder, for he is killed more dreams than failure ever did. He wears many disguises and like a virus will leave you blinded, divided and turn you into a kinda lethal.
You know what is it’s a lot of kind of people? You kinda want a career change, you kinda want to get straight A’s, you kinda want to get in shape. Simple math, no numbers, to crunch if you want something that you will kinda get the results you want.
What is your dream? What ignites that spark. You can’t kinda of want that you I wanted with every part of your whole heart will you struggle? Yeah. Yeah, you will struggle. No way around it, you will fall many times, but who’s counting just remember? There’s no such thing as a smooth mountain, if you want to make it to the top, then there are sharp ridges that must be stepped over. There will be times you get stressed and things you get depressed over, but let me tell you something, Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school three times, but he kept going. The television executives fired oprah said she wasn’t fit for TV but she kept going. Critics told beyonce that she couldn’t sing she went through depression, but she kept going.
Struggle and criticisms are prerequisites for greatness. That is the law of this universe and no one escapes it. Because pain is life, but you can choose what type either the pain, on the road to success or the pain of being haunted with regret.
You want my advice? Don’t think twice we have been given a gift that we call life, so don’t blow it. You are not defined by your past instead you are born anew in each moment, so own it now. Sometimes you got a leap and grow your wings on the way down. You better get this shot off before the clock runs out, because they know over time in life no do-over, and I know I sound like I’m preaching on speaking with force.
But if you don’t use your gift then you say, oh not only yourself, but the whole world “short”. So, what invention that you have buried in your mind? What idea? What cure? What skill? Do you have inside to bring out to this universe? Uni meaning one, verse meaning song, you have a part to play in this song. So, grab that microphone and be brave, sing! Your heart out on life stage. You cannot go back and make a Brand-new beginning. But you can start now and make a brand-new ending.

On Golden Rules, Balancing Acts, & Finding the Right Size
tn The New Golden Rule, Amitai Etzioni sets out to recruit new members to his lcommunitarian public ethic. In particular, he wants to recruit those who emphasize the importance of autonomy by articulating a version of communitarianism in which one should practice a New Golden Rule: "respect and uphold society's moral order as you would have society respect and uphold your autonomy.''l In advocating a sort of virtuous democracy, he provides criteria to check the oppression that communities can perpetrate and to argue that more than freedom, particularly economic freedom, is necessary to prevent Darwinian social struggles. Many will fairly focus on two aspects of Etzioni's book. Some will dwell on the many virtues of his balancing strategy and others will critique his overdrawn characterizations of both autonomy and conservativism. Instead of following these paths, I would like explore how Etzioni's general points about balance and the New Golden Rule might apply to business ethics. Section II describes the implications of Etzioni's argument to business and business ethics and Section III analyzes Etzioni's use of the New Golden Rule itself.

Atheists whine if they don't get the advantage
Atheists whine about not getting the advantages. I've notice this before that they seem to consider logic an unfair trick. They resent God arguments because they think they are being somehow hatted by apologists saying "this is not logical" then think we manipulate lgoic to support our views. The actually like real argumentation is a trick.
Is Christianity incapable of defending itself on a level playing field?
I used to think that there was some sort of equality about debating Christians on their on turf. But now I realize it is not particularly challenging to fight in the minor leagues even if you have a handicap. What is the point? There is nothing to learn. Almost all Christian forums, blogs, and YouTube channels are rigged so that any challenge to there position is ignored or deleted. Christian talk radio is designed to stifle or misrepresent counter arguments.
The simple fact is, Christianity cannot survive open debate. The vast majority of open forums are dominated by atheists because it it so easy to fact-check anything these days.
Question: Is anyone aware of a Christian apologist who can handle his or her own without the handicap of a stacked deck? The closest I am aware of is William Lane Craig in the formal debate arena. And that is an embarrassment to atheists everywhere who continually fail to prepare for his handful of tricks (namedropping, claiming scientists don't understand philosophy, etc.)
Quite Ironic because when I debated this guy: he went by the name "Blondie." he whined until I brought in an atheist to judge, givin myself a huge disadvantage because he said any Christan board would be unfair (he reufsed to go on carm so we went on my boards on the proviso that I had an atheist judge--in effect that I let him win). He whined his way into getting every advantage. He had to go negative and debate his thesis so that meant we would be using his martial that's he's talked about a million times, and his arguments, so I'm clearly at an even greater disadvantage. The topic had to be worded in such a way that he couldn't lose (something about some aspect of religion is irrational--like you can't find that somewhere if you look hard enough). Then he still argued in very stupid ways using a 100 year old article and trying ti disprove Lourdes miracles that had not yet hapepned by that article.
In a word, no.
All the apologist has are rhetorical tricks and the near certain knowledge that most of his/her audience are to lazy to check the facts.
They also have an advantage in that they can hide in the maze of philosophy and sound very clever, while actually saying nothing of worth.
he really does seem to be saying that we are cheating by being intellectual. t's unfair of us to your better educations and be logical in our arguments. Hide in the maze of philosophy is just a frank admission that it's over his head.

Review of G.M. Woerlee' "Insights form Atheism"
.......Someone sent me a link informing me of a certain atheist website. I was actually grateful for the material to critique as I was looking for something more worthy than bunch of illiterates on a message board. This is the website of G.M. Woerlee, "insights form atheism." He tries to trade upon his background as an anesthesiologist. He spaeks as though this parepared him to know all things:
Many years spent as an anesthesiologist, regulating people's level of consciousness, heart and circulatory function, their reactions to extreme pain and stress, revealed many insights in the practical description of the actions of anesthetic drugs on the human body, as well as their use in managing the pain experienced by women in labor. Moreover, these same insights show how the functioning of the human body and natural laws both generate and confirm human beliefs in the immaterial pantheons and worlds preached by all religions.
.......Sorry I just can't buy that being an anesthesiologist makes one all knowing. I had a friend in sixth grade whose father was an anesthesiologist. He was a Christian and he didn't doubt the existence of God nor did he claim to be all knowing. Of course the opinionated Worelee trades in prejudices and acts as though his prejudices are insight. He falls prey to the usual atheist assertion that he understands why people believe and that through science he can clear up those reasons. He says: "In fact, believers in all religions have only faith to sustain their belief. But faith alone fades away unless it is supported by proofs supporting this belief; so there must be some sort of proof sustaining belief in religions. So where is this proof? What sustains religious belief?" Typical atheist straw man argument to chalk belief up to some form of imagination then arguments warranting belief become nothing more than some need to prove the imaginary. So the argument form incredulity is in there undermining any kind of proof the believer could advance. The problem is argument from incredulity is circular reasoning. It literally says "becuase I don't bleieve that proves it can't be true." It's like accusation proves guilt. Assuming that faith is merely imagination and using that to write off proof is both circular reasoning and straw man argument. Faith is not imagining. Faith is not belief without reasons. See my article on Metacork's blog "Nature of Faith is Confusing to Modernity."
.......There's a pretty good indication that he doesn't really understand anything about religion. He has his opponent totally down graded and underestimated. He probalby just assume as a matter of course that religoius people stupid and therefore have stupid reasons for believing. His understanding is entirely rooted in the notion of empirical evidence and objectivity. He only understands belief in terms of the objectified physical evidence rooted in what can be seen:
The Christian Bible and the Islamic Koran tell us that the behaviour of people on this physical world determines the fate of their immaterial souls during the eternity their souls will exist after death. People not only believe in these things, but believe in them so intensely, that many are even willing to die for their belief in these things. Yet when you look at these beliefs rationally, you come to a number of very definite conclusions.
• You cannot see, touch, smell, or detect the reality of this immaterial God, or gods.
• You cannot see, touch, smell, or detect the reality of the immaterial soul, or the immaterial eternal consciousness preached by all religions.
• You cannot see, touch, smell, or detect the reality of the immaterial demons, devils, angels, or all other entities listed in the Torah, Bible and Koran.
• You cannot see, touch, smell, or detect the reality of the immaterial eternal life after death promised by all religions.
He's giving this as his understanding of why people believe, but it really makes his misunderstanding becuase everything he says is rooted in that. Even when he deals with more complex issues such as existential self authentication and transformation power he still reduces it to "feelings" objected sense of the subjective. Of course like all atheists he disvalues the subjective tot he extent that it's reduced to mere "feelings."
.......Before getting to that I want to deal with his major issue, he seems to think that Near Death Experience is a major impetus for belief. It may be for him but I don't think it is for most people. I really think relatively few people ever think about that. He claims that is profession of putting to sleep gives him expert insight into NDE but I hardly think. I don't think there really are any experts expect those who have experienced it. But of course he talks like his profession gives him expertise in all things. NDE is far from cut and dried. There's no magic bullet evdience that proves it's true. It's not disproved either. The NDE argument that I make on my list of 42 God arguments was at one time the most read arguemnt on the list. It's old and outdated it had weaknesses even in it's best days, but it's still wroth reading. There are two major studies supporting the issue: One in the Sunday Telegraph article on my page,The study's authors, Dr. Peter Fenwick, a consultant neuropsychiatrist at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, and Dr. Sam Parnia, a clinical research fellow and registrar at Southampton hospital and one appearing in the Lancet at the end of the 90s. These two studies are must reads.
,,,,,,, In dealing with "feelings" (he means "religious experience") of cousre he is totally unaware of the evidence.
Belief in subjective reality: I know God is real, because I feel it is true...
Imagine you spin yourself around and around until you are very, very dizzy. You then lay on the ground and close your eyes. You feel the world is turning around you, or you feel you are spinning and the world is standing still.
You feel yourself spinning, or that the world is spinning around you. You believe intensely in one of these two choices, but an observer does not see you spinning, nor does an observer perceive themselves as spinning with the world around you. All an observer sees is a person lying on the ground with closed eyes. This illustrates the difference between subjective and objective experience. The subjective experience has no relation to the reality about you. It is an internally generated sensation without any relationship to the physical world in which you live. Here is an extreme example of an experience where there is a very large discrepancy between subjective and objective reality.
This is so pathetic becuase he has not even bothered to do any research on the nature of religious experience. He just assumes its analogous to some physical sensation such as spinning and that's all there is to it. It's the fact of its "subjective" nature that turns him off. He doesn't even understand the concept of inter-subjectivity. Just because some aspect of a situation is subjective doesn't mean that other people can't experience the same kind of thing. Inter-subjectivity is when more than one person has experiences that are so similar they form an analogy and thus create mutual understanding. Such is the case with mystical or religious or "peak" experience. The irony of it is there is a huge body of empirical research (well over 200 studies) that bear this out.[1] One of the major developments in the field is that of the M scale (Mysticism scale) invented by Ralph Hood Jr. University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The M scale provides us with a means of understanding objectively what is and what is not a valid religious experience, Once we understand that we can study the effects of it since it is no longer merely a matter of opinion as to what is what. One of the major findings in connection with the M scale has been that mystical experiences are universal in all times, places, cultures and faiths. Even though the doctrines associated with them differ the actual experiences themselves are the same.[2] For my page: (on religious a prior.): defense of the M scale.
Worlee goes on:
For example, a man believes he can fly without the aid of any machines. He jumps from a high building, and while falling, he thinks he is flying. He really does experience his fall as flight, because as he falls, he feels himself flying through the air. His sensations of flight prove the truth of his belief to him. But observers see something quite different. Observers see a man who leaps from a high building to fall to the ground below. Observers are neutral, while the man who believes he is flying really does experience his fall as flight. The belief system of this man does not correspond with physical reality, because the reality is that the man jumps and falls to the ground below, no matter how fervently he believes he is flying. His flight lasts as long as his fall. This is physical reality, and his belief system is a delusion.
The last two examples are of sensations resulting from normal body function, albeit with misinterpretation of the reality. However, abnormal body function can also generate very real and powerful sensations and visions. Consider the example of the divine hallucinations generated by tumours in the temporal lobes of the brain. Here is an example of a "conversion experience" of a patient with a tumor in a temporal lobe of his brain (Dewhurst 1970)
The patient's first religious experience occurred in St. Ebba's Hospital during photic stimulation. He had a vision in which he was in the cockpit of an aeroplane flying over a mountainous region of France. The aircraft gained altitude and brought him to a different land, a land of peace. He had no cares and no burdens. He felt that the power of God was upon him and was changing him for the better. (Case 3 in Dewurst 1970)
These experiences are real, but their interpretations as religious experiences are iinterpretations made without any reference to reality. And there are countless other subjective experiences, some of which provide apparent proof of the paranormal, of a soul, of life after death, of God, and of religion. Nonetheless, regardless of the sometimes intense and profound nature of these experiences, they constitute no proof of the reality of any religion.
.......Of course he's distorting the nature of religious experience to pretend that they are representative. This is basically a straw man argument because it's not what most who argue experience as a warrant for belief argue. He thinks the way in which the experiences are real have to do with the texture of the experience themselves and the thinks that is what the argument turns upon. He's just saying that the experincer finds it so real seeming but it's not based upon reality. Yet this is total misconception about the nature of religious experiences and it shows his incredible lack of research. The argument from the experience does not turn upon the intensity of the feeling. The reason the experience is "real" is that it has real effects and proves it's an experience of soemthing. Only real things have real effects. It's not merely a trick of the mind something is actually being experiences because it leaves a real effect. The experience can be traced in brain waves. Here is a distillation of two of the major studies and the effects found upon the experincers.
Long-Term Effects
*Say their lives are more meaningful,
*think about meaning and purpose
*Know what purpose of life is
Meditate more
*Score higher on self-rated personal talents and capabilities
*Experience more productive of psychological health than illness
*Less authoritarian and dogmatic
*More assertive, imaginative, self-sufficient
*intelligent, relaxed
*High ego strength,
*relationships, symbolization, values,
*integration, allocentrism,
*psychological maturity,
*self-acceptance, self-worth,
*autonomy, authenticity, need for solitude,
*increased love and compassion
Because the studies have this kind of effect we can draw several conclusions. Upon these conclusions drawn from data the arguments turn:

(1) The trace produced content with speicificually religious affects
Argument itself:
(1)There are real affects from Mytical experince.
II. Argument from Epistemic Judgement:
(2) We do not find this epistemological dilemma debilitating on a daily basis because we assume that if our experiences are consistent and regular than we can navigate in "reality" whether it is ultimately illusory of not.
(3) Consistency and regularity of personal experience is the key.
(5) Inersubjective
RE of this type has a commonality shared by bleievers all over the world, in different times and diffrent places, just as the exeternal world seems to be perceived the same by everyone.
(6) Real and Lasting effects.
III. Universal Nature of Experience
.......The issues here are epistemological, they are about how we know what we know. They are not merely psychological or emotional so the argument about subjectivity has no place in the discussion. Not that subjective knowledge doesn't come int it, but the argument is not based the way the experience feels.
The Third argument is that from Universal nature of the experience. I urge the reader to read the essay in fn 2 for the details and data defending this argument. The universal nature of the experiences not only prove the inter-subjective nature of the experience but they also indicate the experience of soemthing outside the human mind. This is so because religious belief is a cultural construct. It's based upon cultural systole, they can't be genetic. Cultural symbols are agriculturally constructed, they are not genetic, that there is a universal sense of the experience indicate something objective is being experienced.
[1] This is a list of studies that I have researched. There are near 200 of them and they all show the positive value of religious experience both in terms of transformation of the experience and in terms of disproving such allegations as a link ti mental illness. The list is on my site Religious A priori and is found here:

What Have the Atheists Been Doing With Paul Tillich?
The other day I was answering the atheist attack on CARM that said I don't know anything about Tillich. In looking for online docs about him I found a remarkable thing: atheists are making use of Tillich in one way or another. They either try to reduce him to being a sort of cowardly atheist who couldn't actually admit he didn't believe in God, or they try to just assault his views of God straight out much as the CARM atheists have done for years against my arguments; that's not the image of God in the bible so it's unchristian. I really kind of feel that it's a mark of Tillich's growing popularity among theists and I like to kid myself into thinking I had a lot to do with it becuase of this blog. On the other there's enough of it going around that it's probably time to answer the assertions.
.......First of all another blogger Thomas Adams on "Without Authority" writes "Was Paul Tillich An Atheist?" Of cousre that article was up in (March 9) 2009 before I ever talked about Tillich on this blog. O well. In any case he quotes some character named Lenard F. Wheat who says that "Tillich's chief claim to fame will be that he fooled a lot of people... Tillich is a complete atheist who lost his belief while completing his higher education. Intellectually he despises Christianity ..." He goes on to deal with Daniel Dennett and Sam Harris, atheist gurus, who write that the world of believers can be reduced to fundamentalists are closet atheists who dont have the guts to own up. Thus all the intelligent well educated believers are int he latter category so any true belief is stupidity and atheists don't have to listen to the more rational kind of theist. Having reduced all rational theism to atheism then of cousre Tillich falls in.
......Adams goes on:
As the quote at the top of this post shows, such atheists frequently take aim at Paul Tillich, who represents, for them, the epitome of the "atheist theologian." They've referred to Tillich's theology as "semantic hocus-pocus", "strictly bogus", a "bold masquerade", and "nonsensical hokum and claptrap". But do the charges stick? Was Paul Tillich really an atheist? The following quotes of his would seem to say yes:
"God is the symbol for God"
"The God of theism is dead"
Apparently he saw atheists taking aim at Tillich back then, thus another cherished illusion is shattered. Still, I've seen a lot of them doing it recently this may a mark of Tillich's rising popularity, regardless of what produced it. Of course in the phrase that God does not exist Tillich is not saying there's no God. To think that he is saying that (in the recent may-lay on CARM some did try to argue this) is a classic mistake and shows immediately that one has not read Tillich. He uses the phrase "exist" in relation to contingent things only.So for Tillich existence is a lesser state than being and denotes dependence upon being. God is not contingent but is being itself. God demarcates the higher state upon which existing thins (which are contingent) depend.
.......An example of an Atheist taking on Tillich straight out is one I've covered on Atheistwatch before, the "Camels with Hammers" blog by On December 21, 2011 he posted an article "The Impossible God of Paul Tillich." The one thing that marked this blog when I reviewed it on AW was his ignorance. We see it in action:
Tillich says he’s a Christian. But here it’s worth pointing out that Tillich’s “God” is so far from the God of the Bible (and traditional Christian theology) that it’s hard to take his claim of being Christian very seriously. And Tillich has widely been criticized by Christians as offering a strange new theory of the divine. Some might say that Tillich was a Christian atheist. Anyway, here are some relevant points from Tillich:
1. God is being-itself. Tillich wrote: “The being of God is being-itself. The being of God cannot be understood as the existence of a being alongside others or above others. . . . Whenever infinite or unconditional power and meaning are attributed to the highest being, it has ceased to be a being and has become being-itself.” (1951: 235). And he affirms again that “God is being itself, not a being” (1951: 237). Since God is not a being, Tillich famously affirms that God does not exist (1951: 205, 237).
2. God is the power of being. Tillich says “the concept of being as being, or being-itself, points to the power inherent in everything, the power of resisting nonbeing. Therefore, instead of saying that God is first of all being-itself, it is possible to say that he is the power of being in everything and above everything, the infinite power of being” (1951: 236)
3. God is transcendent. Tillich affirms the transcendence of God when talks about God as being above all things. He writes that God is “the power of being in everything and above everything”(1951: 236). And he says that “As the power of being, God transcends every being and also the totality of beings – the world” (1951: 237).
These are good quotes but he doesn't try to learn what they mean. These are all things I've said here on this blog. They are not hard to grasp if one does of background research, he doesn't. He assumes that these are just high tone words designed to hide his unbelief, the reason being this is not the Christian stuff Fincke learned when he was Christian.
.......Of course if he really doesn't know that much about it he would probably still be one. So all he's really telling us is that that doesn't know anything about the real Christian view of God held by the great theologians of the past because all he ever learned about was the usual fundamentalist Biblical literalism. He accuses Tillich of having to "pull himself back from the brink of paganism." That's becuase for Fincke the real Christian view expounded by the great theologians of the Orthodox church seems like paganism becuase he knows nothing about it. For example he makes the specific charge that Tillich is a pantheist. He attirbutes his escape from pantheism to belief in God's transcendence. As though some passage in the Bible say " thou shalt not be a pantheist" and any understanding of God as present in nature is pantheism and any theological point of view that separates Christianity from pantheism is some sort of trick. Fist of all what is he calling Pantheism? Pantheism is either the belief that God is the sum total of all things, or (old school) a personification of nature; nature as a force is worshiped as deity. Neither one of these options is implied in anything Tillich says.
.......Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy defines Pantheism thus:"At its most general, pantheism may be understood positively as the view that God is identical with the cosmos, the view that there exists nothing which is outside of God, or else negatively as the rejection of any view that considers God as distinct from the universe." [1] The article goes on to say that philosophical opinion on the subject is too divided to be more specific. Yet if that is a valid interpretation than the transcendence issue would divide a pantheist form a non pantheist since the definition would say there's nothing outside of God, and saying that God is transcendent of all things would be the contrary.It is from Webster that I get my view that patheism sees God as nature, or the sum total of all things:
: a doctrine that equates God with the forces and laws of the universe
pan·the·ist noun[2]
Certainly the second definition is not used anymore. The first one would not apply to Tilllich. Forces and laws of nature are seen as products of God's mind but not synonymous with God.
.......Another great jewel form Fincke that Tillich's God is impossible becuase it's impossible for God to be both immanent and transcendent:
For Tillich, God is both “the power of being in everything and above everything”. I’d say that’s absurd – for Tillich, God is both immanent and transcendent. But it’s impossible to be both immanent and transcendent. To be sure, if Tillich wants to claim to remain within Christianity, then he’s got to affirm the transcendence of being-itself. But it makes very little sense to do so. Much of Tillich’s first volume of Systematic Theology looks like a pantheistic or pagan theology onto which a superficial layer of exhausted Christian ideology is painted. That paint peels off easily.
This first phrase "the power of being in everything and above everything" is one of Tillcih's most profound and powerful concepts. Fincke tosses it aside as though it means nothing because he doesn't understand it. He does see that it implies transcendence but does he see that it really disproves his earlier notion? His comment about Tillich's Systematic vol 1 looking like a pantheism handbook truly reveals his ignorance because nothing could be less so. Tillich even has a section on why he's not pantheistic and he shows that Pantheism violates his basic canon and would reduce God to a thing in creation. In fact Tillich makes this same argument. It's the transcendent nature of God (which contradicts pantheism) that makes Tillich a panENtheist. God in and beyond creation.
.......Fricke merely demonstrates his ignorance of historical Christianity, as do all who try to argue that Tillich's notion is "not the Christian God." The basis of Christianity really formed up in the seven ecumenical coucils of the Orthodox chruch. Tillich's mission in life was to bring that era of theology into the modern world. His notions of God as being itself are not only echoed by the Orthodox church but in History of Christian Thought He grounds them in the Trinitarian doctrine of homoucisos.[3] Thus the great expositor of the Orthodox chruch to the west, Timothy Ware writes that the Orthodox understand God as being "on the order of being itself."[4]

Atheists are Slave thinkers
On CARM we have a thread about something from nothing. This guy rued why why not? the Universe just popped into existence out of nothing and that's just as good as anything. He has a huge post and actually uses a bunch of references which is quite rare.
For time-dependent processes with H(t) ≡ H0 + V (t) the scattering operator ˆ S has the form ˆ S = C0 : ˆ S0 eS :
where C0 is a normalization constant, eS describes creation and annihilation of particle–antiparticle pairs and their
scattering, and the exceptional part ˆ S0 describes creation and annihilation of single particles.
.......That is a sample.All it really means is he's trying to claim vacuum flux as proof of something from nothing. Atheists have been arguing this since before the late 90s when I came on the internet apologetic scene.I think they are starting to take my chiding seriously that I always doucment and they don't. None of the stuff quotes really supply any rel proof becuase there is none. I point this out. I post a longer essay which is found on this blog about the Krauss book The Universe form Nothing and how it was debunked by David Albert. He proves that when physicists say "nothing" they don't mean real actual nothing they mean vacuum flux. That's like syaing the particles come out of more particles. So it' snot really noting the prior particles still require explanation (how did they come to be?). So really it's not proving much of anything. Then guy who did the original post starts to argue that this is something physicists say so you have to believe it. He didn't say that but he might as well have.

David Albert has one. He ahs a doctorate in theoretical physics.
whether or not physicists believe in it is not the issue. there are physicists who believe in God some of them won the noble prize.
Of course you know better than everyone, after all you know better than Hawking, one of the most intelligent people on earth, all christians know better than all of the high IQ scientists, its weird how that works isn't it!
Meta:He's been discredited on that point, other physicists just as renown as he is believed in God.When I say he's been discredited I mean his book the Grand Design didn't take off it was exposed immediately for the publishers hype that it was. Hawking tried to argue it all comes down to gravity so we don't need God that did not go over becasue two things became apparently:
(1) he didnt' say it the publisher did
(2) who made the gravity? or how'd it get here?
no physicists has the authority to tell you weahter or not God exits. they are not philosophers. they are not theologians they don't know the ultimate truth. you are just seeking authority figure to hide behind.
that proves you are not a free thinker. you are a slave and minion.
Wait, wait for it, you ant seen nothing yet!
I appreciate your input but your views seem to be based on other peoples opinions on the matter, in this case David Albert.
Holy irony BATMAN! This is the guy who was just saying that I have to have physicists to back up my opinion[. which by the way I do. that's who is the 18 foot notes I use. so when I have the docs tthen I'm taking my opinion for other people. he on the other hand is original and an independent thinker even though he talks like we can't believe something if physicists don't give us permission. he also had a bunch of foot notes to the Op so the change that I take my views from others because I have 18 foot notes can be made against him too.
I am struggling to take it seriously now as i am worried that you have taken what David Albert has published as factual information. The mans publications are extremely vague and worded particularly casually. He fails to go into any depth in the hope that his writings can be read and understood by the layman, exact details are not something he feels neseccary to include in his work. He has even been known to have contradicting viewpoints from one publication to the next. Im sorry but if you have obtained your knowledge on this subject from David Albert, i cannot take it seriously. Try Matt Strassler or Hamlet Karo Avetissian.
Of course he doesn't document any of this drivel. I doubt taht he knows who David Albert is. He teaches philosophy at Columbia, has a Ph.D. in theoretical phsyics, and trashed Krausse's book and was hailed by bloggers across the net as the victor. more more than one blogger said "Albert own Krauss."
Look up any writer you will find people trashing him. Anyone who publishes much as a lot of jealous trolls saying stupid things about him. This guy of cousre doesn't bother to document any of the accusations. Typical of the atheist slander machine to reach for the slander when he's backed in a corner.
The brain washed lackies of the hate group just dont' know how to think. they are seeking God figure to hide behind who will give them permission to hold their beliefs and make them feel safe but they can't use the real God because they set themselves against him. Just in case some readers are tempted to think "O but if Christianity was valid there would be some physicists who believe it" there are many. Here are statements by some major physicists.
Fritz Shafer, nominated for Nobel Prize in Chemistry, University of Georgia, himself a Christian: "it is very rare that a physical scientists is truly an atheist."
Martin Rees at Cambridge: "The possibility of life as we know it depends upon a few basic values which are constants. And it is in some aspect remarkably sensitive to their heir numerical values. Nature does exhibit remarkable coincidences."
Arthur Schewhow, Nobel prize winner from Stanford, identifies himself as a Christian. "We are fortunate to have the Bible which tells us so much about God in widely accessible terms."
Charlie Towns Nobel prize winner: "The question of science seems to be unanswered if we explore from science alone. Thus I believe there is a need for some metaphysical or religious explanation. I believe in the concept of God an in his existence."
John Pokingham, theoretical physicist at Cambridge, left physics to become a minister. "I believe that God exists and has made himself known in Jesus Christ."
Allan Sandage, The world's greatest observational cosmologist , Caregie observatories won a prize given by Swedish parliament equivalent to Nobel prize (there is no Nobel prize for cosmology) became a Christian after being a scientist, "The nature of God is not found in any part of science, for that we must turn to the scriptures."

Answering Benjamin Lusk's Comment
This was a comment made on the blog to the post "atheists who say they hate Christians."
Jan 31, 2010
Benjamin Lusk said...
I want to highlight the points that you highlighted, yourself, and dispute them. Unfortunately, my phone doesn't allow me to copy and paste (or not that I've discovered!), so I'll have to simply brush over each point before continuing.
Now, I know you're dyslexic, so don't take anything that I add in parenthesis as an attempt to make fun of you. It is not, I assure. I simply want to be clear on my understanding of how you phrased certain bits, and how I interpret it.
Ok I'll try to restrain my barbaric urges for revenge.
The first point that I make is attempting to gather what you're trying to accomplish as the writer here. I state that you're trying to make atheists out as being irrational and foolhardy.
You disagree by stating that atheists are "intelligent (people) who discovered that (religion) is real stupid and thought their way out". And also that they are "being pulled along by the force of a bandwagon that's not based on intellectual truths, but psychological motivation".
On the bit about "they are intelligent people" I probably meant to say they are not just intelligent who discovered this about religion but they are being drug along by forces." Not to say that they are not intelligent but that their reason for being atheists, the real reason below the surfaces not just that they think its not intelligent but there's a psychological motivation. It seems as I get older dyslexia, poor eye sight, and typing to fast becuase my brain runs faster than my fingers, means that I leave words out sometimes.
..... I said there's a segment of the atheist community that's being pulled along by psychological motivations. I have always pointed out that it's not all atheist but a certain segment who operate like a hate group and exhibit cult-like tendencies and mocking and ridicule and seek to destroy Christianity. I can't help but wonder if certain atheist leaders haven't planed on it being this way. It is defiantly this way. This segment of the atheists community are a clear and present danger as they are an organized totalitarian group bent on the destruction of a valuable social institution. Of cousre that doesn't to all atheists.
I'll leave the first statement alone. The second one, I can't help but tear apart.
First and foremost, I want to see your degree in psychology if you're going to make a statement like that. I'd be real interested in knowing how your facts stack up to my brothers Masters in Psychology.That'd be a fun conversation.
I don't need a degree in psychology per se to see that there is a growing body academic work which shows that atheism is motivated by psychological forces related to low self esteem. A similar and related concept, that of negative God image (that is those who see God as a monster and not as a positive good loving thing) do so in relation to their own self image. This latter group is demonstrated through a huge body of academic work going way back.
Second, you want to say they are being led on by the force of a bandwagon? Give me a break! Religion is the biggest bandwagon out there. That is why people can convert so easily between religions, and organizations like AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), succeed so easily for the weak minded.
Yes but religion admits it's a movement. Atheism refuses to admit that ti's a movement. They not only balk at being told they have ideology (while saying the same things when you push the same buttons) but many of them exhibit a real phobia of admitting there's any organized movement at all. While I've shown gobs of world wide moneyed organization. See my article The Atheist movement and it's Organization. Then there's "Cracking the Jesus Myth Phony Scholarship Code." Perhaps the most telling is the article on Center for Inquiry. Who could forget "Institutionalizing Hate, International Blasphemy Day."
Do NOT get me wrong. For some people, Atheism is just a FAD to get in on. But for the general majority, Atheism is simply a realization or understanding of the basic truths. God can't be seen, touched, felt, smelled, or tasted. Therefore, God does not exist. Those are basic truths.
How can it not be a movement if its a fad? Are you willing to admit that for those at least for whom it is a fad it's also movement? Perhaps if its a fad the fad has an ideology? The logic that says "God can't be seen, touched, felt, smell or tasted is poor logic. Atheists value scinece right? What scientific things can't be smelled, touched, seen, or tasted? Let's try some:
nuterios, can they be smelled, touched, seen or tasted?
dark matter?
big bang expansion?
Quantum particles?
Looks like most of the result of modern scinece can't fit your criteria for reality. We can't touch, taste, smell or see the laws of physics can we? Do you not believe there are laws of phsyics? God is the ground of being, the basis upon which the nature of exists rests. Why would something like that be amenable to our senses? You have bought into the notion that it's some sort of basic common sense logic that anything real has to exhibit these hard concrete qualities and yet the basis of reality that modern science teaches us to believe in doesn't fit your criteria.
Religion on the other bullies with threats of Satan and Hell to non-believers. Religions shun those who don't believe, making them feel alienated and hated in a culture that they belong in. How can you even justify saying Atheism is a bandwagon, when (for the most part), Atheists tend to simply ignore the subject of religion altogether?
While some religious people behave this way not all do. I don't believe in Satan. That's not a trait of liberal theology, which is mocked and ridiculed by atheists and hated by fundamentalist Christians. Atheists make ridiculous argument that liberal theology "enables" fundamentalism when in reality it's seen as satanic deception by funides and is the cure to being fundie. Besides that you are charging the belief system with an unfair bias in belief yet I'm charging atheists themselves with being bullies (although not all of them). That's a big difference becuase Chrsitians go around to all the atheist sites bothering them and making fun of them. Some may perhaps but not nearly on a scale that atheists do that. Christians believe they have to be nice to people while atheists rationalize being rude and mean so they can justify and keep doing it.
The second point that you tried to make when I offered Christians up as being cool-headed was that, "I never said that and I sure don't believe it. There is a dangerous element in Christianity, its' a more dangerous (one) than Atheism". Okay... so... why are you singling out Atheist when there is a greater evil to battle? Priorities.
You have kind of distorted that. Fist you didn't say Christians are cool-heaed as your own opinion you said taht as part of what you think I'm trying to prove.
you: "On the same side of that, you are suggesting that Christians are cool headed and peaceful by nature."
I did not deny that Christianity is more rational than atheism. I didn't say that it's more dangerous than atheism is either. I said the dangerous element in Christianity is more powerful than atheism. Not that it's more dangerous but that it's more powerful.
(1) I fight it too. In fact I lost about on average 50 readers per blog piece from all the pro-Obama pieces I wrote during the election. I don't care. I am willing to lose them all to say the truth.
(2) I think atheism is more dangerous. In the long run if you have God involved in your life you are still better off than if you don't even if you are in a totalitarian night mare. In other words I think either kind of extreme, fundie or atheism would lead to totalitarian night mare. I'd rather have a 1984 type society with God than without one. That doesn't mean want a totalitarian nightmare now, so don't say I do.
God is hope, and freedom, even if freedom is only inside you it's still more free with God than without him. Atheism is reductionism. You reduce humanity to the machine. I'm not saying all atheists want to do that I'm talking about totalitarian distopias. The worse of atheism was Stalin. the worst of Christian society was The Spanish inquisition. As Mick Jagger said. "the choice of cancer or polio." They would both be pretty bad so we need to work together to prevent either one.
Third: you're going to defend The Crusades? Honestly. Years of slaughtering innocent people because they believed in a brown God vs. a white one? Seriously? That is.perfectly acceptable? I supposed Hitler killing 4 million people was perfectly alright, as well, seeing as though he did it in the name of White Christianity.
Why would you equate minimizing their damage with defending them? When we had a Tornado in Dallas recently my sister called and said "are you guys ok?" I went right over our house. I said "Yes it didn't do hardly any damage int this area." Does that mean I was really saying 'It was great, we should have them more often?" I said you can't assert that crusades are some kind of hallmark of Christianity (they only had them in a short 200 year period a thousand years ago). You choose not define religion by the making of the red cross, the invention of he modern hospital, the YMCA, missions to the homeless, soup kitchens and so on. you choose to define it by crusades s though that's what reilgion always does. It does not. That's a rare one time event and it's not something they do all the time. Through in the religious wars of Europe even then it doesn't outweigh the massive good Christianity has done.
Moreover, Christianity is not Jesus. "Christianity" is a tool that God has used to spread Jesus' teachings, it's not the point of the gospel. The point of finding Jesus is not so you can join a group called "Christianity." The point of having a Christianity is os you can find Jesus. It get's off its message and becomes the tool of powerful interests form time to time but atheism did too. Look at communism. I was communist and I know what I'm talking about. Communism was proud of being atheist and they saw the destruction of religion as one of their main goals. Not to say that all atheists are communists of course. My point is it's the fallacy of guilt by association to try and tag Christianity by some negative event like the crusades and not by the positive things it's done.
Now onto the medical. Religion, in general, does not believe in The Theory of Evolution. Okay, that's cool. But to keep our children, our future scientists, from being able to learn and explore this theory does hurt medical science. The sooner we can figure out our ancestral chain, the sooner we can isolate Homosapien-specific genetic disorders and then repair them.
First, it's a rash statement to claim that "religions in general doesn't believe in evolution." that is just not true. It's not even true that most Chrsitians oppose it. It's certainly not true of religion in general because they lack the motivation. The major motivation for Chrsitains to oppose it is due to Genesis. Religions outside of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, don't really care about Genesis. The guy who headed the genome project is a Christian. Catholics have never had a problem with evolution. They have always been much more excepting of it. There's a problem in America which is suffering from backward thinking and poor education since the Reagan era. In that same period there's been an exodus of intelligent Chrsitains. A huge number of women left the states to work in the third world becuase the American chruch was o backward about women. Gallup Poll shows that 40% of Americans are Creation. Since America is 86% Christian that means an equal percentage and then some are Chrsitians Christians who accept evolution or are undecided
And what about Stem cell research? The most promising medical discovery since penicillin. "I'm sorry, Mister Soldier man. You can never walk again, even though stem cells have proven to correct spinal damage!"
I had a friend who was Catholic and doing Ph.D. study for his doctorate in cell biology he said we don't have get stem cells from the unborn. Apparently we can get them from dead adults. That's related to an ethical issue about when humanity begins, not to religious belief per se. they are opposing stem cell use because the have a hang up that says "science is wrong." It's becuase they a thing about the unborn still being human life.
Now, the next point was funding to get criminals out of jail, or the best attorney is null and exagerrated. I give you that one except for one particular instance. Catholic priests. The Catholic church has fought every step of the way to keep RAPISTS, Sodomizers, and their child molesters out of prison. Argue that, I dare you. Oh, and please present evidence shoeing that the Columbine shooters shot someone because she was Christian. They killed themselves. Nice try.
January 6, 2013 2:02 PM
That's not true either. A few years ago when that story got big the atheist were on the war path against Ben 16 alleging he must e child raper. I cold try to look some of those up for you I argued them out and fought tooth and nail and prevailed. I showed that Ben 16 led reforms to stop child molestation and to report it. There has been a move for reform even among the Priesthood. Only about 1% of the priests have been accused. Probably no more than 3% are guilty.
Again this is guilt by association. Catholics are half the Christians and Priests are a tiny percentage of Catholics. You are trying to blame religion itself. When we blame atheism for the crimes of communism, that's a fallacy. that is so unfair one must not do that. Can't you see its the same exactly logic? It is. if you don't see that you dont' see any logic. Some people who ware this label do X, therefore, all people who wear this label are guilty of X and therefore the label itself causes the doing of X. That's all crap.

Rolleiflex 3.5/3.5F with Studio Lights
Discussion in 'Medium Format' started by RayCornett, Mar 29, 2019.
1. Are there any good threads here, or videos anywhere online, that go in depth on using the Rolleiflex 3.5/3.5F synced to studio lights?
I have found one single video and all it was is a video of a photographer showing you how she plugged her light to her Rollei.
2. There's nothing particularly exotic about it...I don't think I've ever shot a Rollei with studio lights, but I have shot plenty of MF and plenty of cameras of this age with them.
If you're using a wired trigger(bad idea) you plug the PC cable into the port on the front of your camera. If you're using radio triggers(which I recommend), use a PC cord to plug the trigger into the PC socket. If you're using optical triggers, you'll need to rig some sort of small flash up to the PC port on the camera and make sure it's facing the "eye" of the slaves.
There will be a switch somewhere(I forget where it had made its way to with the F models) labeled M-X-V. BE SURE this is set to X-this is probably this single easiest and biggest mistake you can make with any kind of electronic flash on an older camera. The "M" setting is meant for medium peak flashbulbs, which need a bit of time to reach full intensity-it fires the flash before the shutter opens, and the electronic flash pulse will have already ended by the time the shutter opens. The "X" setting fires the flash as soon as the shutter fully opens, which is what you want for electronic flash, as they reach their full intensity essentially immediately and generally have a relatively short duration. The "V" setting is the self timer.
In any case, the shutter speed actually doesn't matter all that much. It needs to be below the flash sync speed, which is 1/500 on the Syncho-Compur shutter, so you don't have to worry about going faster as if you were using a camera with a focal plane shutter. It needs to be fast enough that you don't pick up ambient light, which in my experience would usually mean a pretty darn slow speed unless you're outside. Unless you have a good reason to do otherwise, set your shutter speed to 1/250 or 1/500.
The aperture(combined with the film speed and the output of your flashes) is the main thing you will change to get the exposure correct. This is true regardless of the camera type, format, or even whether it's film or digital. In my usual set-up, I'm often using ASA 100 film or setting my digitals to base ISO and still at f/22 or smaller-of course this can change if you're illuminating a larger area, can crank your strobe power way back(I use Normans, which aren't exactly the most flexible/adaptable design) or are using inefficient modifiers.
Also, you really should be using a flash meter. My Minolta IIIf has a flash function, which is a bit clunky to use but none the less works well. I use it with the incident dome attachment and put it where the subject would be with the dome toward the lights(this is where having an assistant is useful if you're photographing a group, or want to pre-set before your actual subjects arrive). On the Minolta, with the film speed set, I set it to flash mode then with the meter in position I fire the flash. It senses that I've done so, and spits out an aperture reading that can then be transferred to the camera(be sure to account for a filter factor if you're using one). My model meter will "time out" in flash mode after I think 1 minute if it hasn't sensed a flash-I think some other brands integrate a PC socket directly to allow you to fire the flash, but the ubiquitous Minoltas work fine as long as you get the reading before they time out.

3. Agree in principle with most of Ben's comments. A camera with a PC port, such as the Rolleiflex 3.5F, is nothing special in terms of how it interacts with strobe lighting.
Agree that a wireless (radio) trigger is the preferred option, because of improved mobility and convenience. I don't agree that a wired trigger is a bad idea. It works, just not as conveniently.
A flash meter is nearly mandatory, unless you plan to test exposure (bracket) extensively.
The Syncro-Compur shutter is a leaf type that syncs at all speeds. Go for it, have fun, and post your results.
4. AJG
One minor point regarding shutter speeds--some studio strobes have fairly long durations, in a few cases as long as 1/300. A gated flash meter like a Sekonic L 518 (should be available used for around $100) will tell you if a faster shutter speed on the camera is lessening the amount of light reaching the film. Radio transmitters/receivers also introduce a very small delay that could also diminish flash power.

5. A Rollei 3.5F requires a special flash cable, which locks into the socket. Remove the cable by turning the lever surrounding the flash socket to release the lock. That lever also serves as the sync selector, X/M/F. For electronic flash, use the X setting. (M = 20 msec, F = 5 msec). The center of the flash socket looks like a PC socket, and can be used with a PC cable. The connection is unreliable unless you make a few adjustments to the cable (tighten the tube and bend the pin a little off-center).
Rollei flash cables are still available, with PC or Household terminations.

Ordinary extension cords can be used with Household plugs, which is what I did before PocketWizards were invented. I was never once tempted to see what happened if they were plugged into a wall outlet. Now I use at least one PocketWizard for the first flash, and photoelectric for the others. In the field, I use a separate PocketWizard on each flash. Fewer cables to trip over, no way for a guest to trigger my flashes.

Lasagna Project 21/34
Twenty-first up in the Lasagna project is
Sausage-Fennel Lasagna Rolls
This was one of the recipes that made me really interested in getting this book and it did not disappoint. The rolls were delicious and fun. My cook along friend noted the pre-portioning made it a great leftovers for lunch.
Hint, get the narrow longer lasagna noodles.
The main sub recipes, bechemel, sauteed fennel bulb, and some browned sausage.
Put everything on noodles, roll them up tight and put them in a pan and voila!
Er.. Yeah not so neat. Turns out the lasagna noodles I'm using are a bit wide and short for this one. If you are going to make it I suggest noodles that are longer and wider, Barilla for instance, not De cecco. I generally like the short wide ones for in the pan but Barilla just works better structurally here:
These are my cook-along friend's (Derek) result of assembly. Much cleaner, and they stay that way through cooking.
Then pour on the bechemel, bake and yum.
The weight of the bechemel on top just made things worse structurally.

The Official Earth Day Guide to Planet Repair
Wednesday, April 22, 2009
But before I get started on today's entry, it's the end of week 16, so it's page count time:
PAGES - 1,731
For the year so far:
CHAPTERS - 2,248
PAGES - 29,327
Today's book; "The idea of Earth Day has flourished through three decades. Now more than ever, individuals need to create change from the ground up and the whole earth down. As citizens of the world and consumers of global resources, we hold a vast capacity for improving our environment and leaving a bright legacy for our children."
I almost didn't read today's book, because at first glance it appeared to be a children's book. When I realized it wasn't I was very excited because I figured a book with such a happy cover surely wouldn't end up being the typical doom-and-gloom-we're-all-about-to-die kind of environmental books I've read in the past. But I was wrong. There was still some serious doom in this book. I realize of course that it's necessary to talk about how a problem came to exist in order to correct it, but I'm too high strung to read/listen/watch anything that goes on and on about how hopeless everything is. I prefer a book that acknowledges both the bad and the good that has been achieved, and then actually points me in the direction of what I should next to help correct things: In other words, I want the author to do all the work for me. Is that so much to ask? I'm just lazy that way - in fact, I'm so lazy that I first attempted to read a book called The Lazy Environmentalist but it turned out to not be lazy enough for my taste, so I switched to this book. I want a book that will tell me in 100 words or less how and why we got here, and then give me a nice, easy list of things that I can do (preferably in ten steps or less) that will fix things. Is that so unreasonable? Alright, so maybe it is.
But, I don't want to live in a barren, treeless world, so I'm continued reading anyway. The author did provide some helpful tips at the end of the chapters, but there was so much depressing information on the way to the tips that I felt kind of deflated by the time I got there.
Nevertheless, the book did inspire me to make some changes (or scare the crap out of me to the point where I felt like the earth would disintegrate tomorrow if I don't make changes, depending on how you choose to look at it). So here is my contribution to helping the environment:
• I changed all the light bulbs to energy saving ones. (The word I is used rather loosely here since when I say "I" what I really mean is that I was in the room, watching - supervising if you will - while someone else changed the light bulbs. Okay that's a lie, I wasn't actually in the room, I was watching General Hospital instead. But the important thing is that the light bulbs have been changed.)
• I'm going to stop using so many paper products. (I compulsively wash my hands - not enough that it would qualify as an illness, but more than a normal person would - and I need to stop doing that, and not just for the sake of the environment but also because I'm sick of people looking at me funny. I also need to stop wasting paper on stupid stuff like trying to figure out what I would have named all 18 kids if I was one of the Duggar parents or rewriting the endings to movies that started out well but ended badly or putting my to-read lists in alphabetical order.)
How did you celebrate Earth Day dear readers? If you spent it watching General Hospital like I did, well then shame on both of us (Just kidding, I don't actually feel any shame about watching soap operas, even though I probably should. And wasn't it a great episode!)

Symmetric Golomb squares
Inspection of optimum Golomb squares found by exhaustive computer search shows some are symmetric with respect to diagonal reflection. This suggests searching for such symmetric Golomb squares might be an efficient way to find good squares. In this correspondence, we find the best symmetric N/spl times/N Golomb squares for N/spl les/22. Some appear to be the best known.

Landon Ronald
Sir Landon Ronald (born Landon Ronald Russell) (7 June 1873 – 14 August 1938) was an English conductor, composer, pianist, teacher and administrator.
In his early career he gained work as an accompanist and "répétiteur", but struggled to make his way as a conductor. In the absence of operatic or symphonic work he made his living as a conductor and composer in West End shows in the late 19th and early 20th century. With the foundation of the London Symphony Orchestra in 1904 his career began to flourish, and by 1908 he was well-enough established to be chosen to succeed Thomas Beecham as conductor of the New Symphony Orchestra in London.
Ronald was an early enthusiast for recording, and was associated with the Gramophone Company (later part of EMI) from 1900 for the rest of his life.
From 1910 until shortly before his death, Ronald was principal of the Guildhall School of Music in London. He modernised the curriculum and raised its standards to compete with the leading musical training establishments the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music.
Life and career.
Early years.
Ronald was born in Kensington, London, the illegitimate son of Henry Russell, singer, songwriter and merchant, and his partner Hannah de Lara, a painter. He was the younger brother of the impresario Henry Russell and half-brother of the novelist William Clark Russell. He was educated at St Marylebone Grammar School and a boarding school in Margate, and took private music lessons from the violinist Henry Holmes and the composer Kate Loder. Between 1884 and 1890 he was enrolled at the Royal College of Music, where he studied under Hubert Parry and Charles Villiers Stanford.
In 1891 Ronald was appointed "maestro al piano" (accompanist and "répétiteur") at the Royal Opera House; this was valuable experience, bringing him into contact with leading singers and with the scores of the opera repertoire. In her memoirs, Nellie Melba told how Ronald coached her in "Manon", playing the accompaniment from memory, having learned the piece from scratch overnight. The following year he became conductor of Augustus Harris's touring opera company. In 1894, he toured the United States as accompanist for Melba. He composed piano music and songs, some of which were well received. He first conducted at Covent Garden in July 1896, for a production of "Faust", starring Melba, Charles Bonnard and Pol Plançon. In August 1897 he married Mimi Ettlinger (1873–1932), daughter of a Frankfurt cloth merchant; they had one son.
Operatic and concert work was in short supply for young English conductors at the time; Ronald was obliged to seek employment in musical comedy in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Among those for whom he conducted and composed were Harry Graham, Lionel Brough, Kate Cutler, Evie Greene and John Le Hay. Neither this employment nor his engagement from 1898 as conductor of the Winter Gardens concerts in Blackpool helped his professional advancement in the snobbish atmosphere of "fin de siècle" England.
Ronald continued to compose serious music; a song-cycle, "Summertime", was written for the tenor Ben Davies, who premiered it in 1901. The music critic of "The Manchester Guardian" called the songs "melodious", but added that they "impressed by their graceful lyrical character rather than by evidence of any inventive fancy."
HMV and orchestral appointments.
In 1900 Ronald was approached by Fred Gaisberg of the recording firm the Gramophone Company, a predecessor of EMI. He accepted the post of musical adviser, and was the pianist on many of the company's early song recordings. Gaisberg calculated that Ronald's varied musical contacts would help the new company recruit the distinguished performers it needed. Ronald helped the company to sign up Melba and other leading singers including Adelina Patti, Charles Santley and Enrico Caruso. He remained closely connected with HMV for the rest of his career, becoming a director in 1930 and a founder-director of Electrical and Musical Industries (EMI) formed by the merger of HMV with its rival, the Columbia Graphophone Company in 1931.
In 1901 Ronald was conductor of London's Queen's Hall concerts and in the same year he was contracted by Blackpool's Winter Gardens as conductor of summer Sunday concerts until where Adelina Patti, Nellie Melba and Caruso performed. He held this position until the First World War. Ronald began to make progress as a conductor after the foundation of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) in 1904. He was a frequent guest conductor of the LSO, and in 1905 he was appointed director of the Birmingham Promenade Concerts. When Thomas Beecham parted company from the New Symphony Orchestra in 1908, Ronald succeeded him as its conductor. The orchestra was later known as the Royal Albert Hall orchestra; Ronald remained with it until 1928, when it disbanded. He and the orchestra began recording for HMV in 1909. Their recorded repertoire comprised mostly overtures and short orchestral pieces, mainly by Tchaikovsky and Wagner, but also longer works including the "Peer Gynt" Suite and Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. Ronald also worked with the Scottish Orchestra, and in continental European countries.
Landon Ronald conducted over four hundred times at the Royal Albert Hall, London between 1898 and 1936, mainly with the Royal Albert Hall Orchestra. His last performance at the Hall was on 4 February 1936 for the 'Memorial Concert in Commemoration of His Late Most Gracious Majesty King George V', where he conducted and played the piano.
Ronald was also closely associated with the music of Elgar. In later life he recalled Parry's "smacking me on the back and saying 'I heard yesterday Richter perform the "Enigma" Variations by a Mr. Elgar, which is the finest thing I have listened to for years. Look out for this man's music'." He was the pianist in the first performance of Elgar's Violin Sonata in E minor in 1919, with W H Reed the violinist, and was the dedicatee of "Falstaff", a work regarded by some as Elgar's masterpiece, though Ronald admitted privately, "Never could make head or tail of the piece". He recorded little of Elgar's music, because HMV signed the composer up to record his own works; Ronald recorded the "Coronation Ode", and the "Coronation March" in March 1935, a year after Elgar's death.
As a conductor Ronald was especially noted as a concerto accompanist; the critic Robert Elkin described Arthur Nikisch as "the finest accompanist until Landon Ronald". His repertoire was limited. Unlike Adrian Boult he did not feel it his duty to present difficult modern works. Elgar and Richard Strauss were the only contemporary composers with whose music he was much associated. He retired from conducting in 1929.
Later years.
In 1910 Ronald succeeded W H Cummings as principal of the Guildhall School of Music, a post he held until 1938. He overhauled the curriculum and the administration of the school. According to his biographer, Raymond Holden, "By modernizing teaching methods, and increasing the morale of those working and studying at the institution, he raised the status of the school." He also formed a professors' club to bring a more collegiate spirit into the school. Under Ronald the standard of teaching was brought into line with that of the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music. In his later years he laid great emphasis on the importance of live music, and worried that broadcasting and the gramophone were making music so ubiquitous and casually accessible that it was no longer special.
Among Ronald's output as a composer are more than 200 songs. They include "Serenade espagnole" recorded by Caruso. The critic Michael Kennedy writes, "His compositions include a symphonic poem, an overture, a ballet, "Britannia's Realm", composed for the coronation of Edward VII in 1902, and incidental music to Robert Hichens’s "The Garden of Allah" (1921, Drury Lane), but it is his song "Down in the Forest" that has survived."
Ronald was knighted in 1922, and published a volume of memoirs, "Variations on a Personal Theme" in the same year. He published a second volume, "Myself and Others", in 1931. Landon was also the editor of the first edition of "Who's Who in Music" in 1935. In 1932 Ronald's wife died by suicide; he married Mary Callison b. 1895, (Aunt of Lady Bridget Faulks, née Bodley b.1921), of Manchester shortly afterwards.
Ronald died in London at the age of 65 after two years of declining health.

Do Interruptions Affect the Quality of Work?
In today’s modern-day world where people are constantly being interrupted by cell phone calls, emails, instant messages, and co-workers, it is apparent that interruptions have become a common occurrence. Further, given the growth of technology in the workplace, that is unlikely to dissipate. Although much research has been conducted on interruptions and their impact on performance, little of that work has focuses on the overall quality of performance on the primary task. The current study investigates the role interruptions have on overall quality of work in a creative, complex task. Interruptions were found to reliably reduce quality of work when introduced at different phases of the task.

Modifications in the CD 36 binding domain of the Plasmodium falciparum variant antigen are responsible for the inability of chondroitin sulfate A adherent parasites to bind CD 36
Adhesion of mature Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes to microvascular endothelial cells or to placenta contributes directly to the virulence and severe pathology of P falciparum malaria. Whereas CD36 is the major endothelial receptor for microvasculature sequestration, infected erythrocytes adhering in the placenta bind chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) but not CD36. Binding to both receptors is mediated by different members of the large and diverse protein family P falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein-1 (PfEMP-1) and involves different regions of the molecule. The PfEMP-1–binding domain for CD36 resides in the cysteine-rich interdomain region 1 (CIDR-1). To explore why CSA-binding parasites do not bind CD36, CIDR-1 domains from CD36or CSA-binding parasites were expressed in mammalian cells and tested for adhesion. Although CIDR-1 domains from CD36-adherent strains strongly bound CD36, those from CSAadherent parasites did not. The CIDR-1 domain has also been reported to bind CSA. However, none of the CIDR-1 domains tested bound CSA. Chimeric proteins between CIDR-1 domains that bind or do not bind CD36 and mutagenesis experiments revealed that modifications in the minimal CD36-binding region (M2 region) are responsible for the inability of CSA-selected parasites to bind CD36. One of these modifications, mapped to a 3–amino acid substitution in the M2 region, ablated binding in one variant and largely reduced binding of another. These findings provide a molecular explanation for the inability of placental sequestered parasites to bind CD36 and provide additional insight into critical residues for the CIDR-1/CD36 interaction.

Uniparental isodisomy for chromosome 16 in a growth‐retarded infant with congenital heart disease
We report a growth‐retarded infant with congenital heart disease and maternal isodisomy for chromosome 16. Non‐mosaic trisomy 16 was detected at mid‐trimester chorionic villus sampling, performed because biochemical screening indicated an increased Down's syndrome risk. Further karyotyping analysis of the placenta, after delivery, showed a 50 per cent mosaic trisomy 16. The infant had an atrioventricular (A‐V) canal defect, scoliosis, and several minor dysmorphic features. Although uniparental disomy for chromosome 16 has been reported previously, to our knowledge this is the first case of uniparental isodisomy for chromosome 16 which has been investigated with multiple DNA probes.

The Environmental Impact of the Glostavent® Anesthetic Machine
Because anesthetic machines have become more complex and more expensive, they have become less suitable for use in the many isolated hospitals in the poorest countries in the world. In these situations, they are frequently unable to function at all because of interruptions in the supply of oxygen or electricity and the absence of skilled technicians for maintenance and servicing. Despite these disadvantages, these machines are still delivered in large numbers, thereby expending precious resources without any benefit to patients. The Glostavent® was introduced primarily to enable an anesthetic service to be delivered in these difficult circumstances. It is smaller and less complex than standard anesthetic machines and much less expensive to produce. It combines a drawover anesthetic system with an oxygen concentrator and a gas-driven ventilator. It greatly reduces the need for the purchase and transport of cylinders of compressed gases, reduces the impact on the environment, and enables considerable savings. Cylinder oxygen is expensive to produce and difficult to transport over long distances on poor roads. Consequently, the supply may run out. However, when using the Glostavent, oxygen is normally produced at a fraction of the cost of cylinders by the oxygen concentrator, which is an integral part of the Glostavent. This enables great savings in the purchase and transport cost of oxygen cylinders. If the electricity fails and the oxygen concentrator ceases to function, oxygen from a reserve cylinder automatically provides the pressure to drive the ventilator and oxygen for the breathing circuit. Consequently, economy is achieved because the ventilator has been designed to minimize the amount of driving gas required to one-seventh of the patient’s tidal volume. Additional economies are achieved by completely eliminating spillage of oxygen from the breathing system and by recycling the driving gas into the breathing system to increase the Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FIO2) at no extra cost. Savings also are accrued when using the drawover breathing system as the need for nitrous oxide, compressed air, and soda lime are eliminated. The Glostavent enables the administration of safe anesthesia to be continued when standard machines are unable to function and can do so with minimal harm to the environment.

Android OpenGL 3D picking
I'm on Android OpenGL-ES 2.0 and after all the limitations that come with it, I can't figure out how to take 2D screen touches to the 3D points I have. I can't get the right results.
I'm trying to implement shooting a ray into the point cloud, which I can then compare distances of my points to the ray, finding the closest point.
public class OpenGLRenderer extends Activity implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer {
public PointCloud ptCloud;
MatrixGrabber mg = new MatrixGrabber();
...
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_COLOR_MATERIAL);
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_BLEND);
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_LIGHTING);
//Background drawing
if(customBackground)
gl.glClearColor(backgroundRed, backgroundGreen, backgroundBlue, 1.0f);
else
gl.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
if (PointCloud.doneParsing == true) {
if (envDone == false)
setupEnvironment();
// Clears the screen and depth buffer.
gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
GLU.gluPerspective(gl, 55.0f, (float) screenWidth / (float) screenHeight, 10.0f ,10000.0f);
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_MODELVIEW);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
GLU.gluLookAt(gl, eyeX, eyeY, eyeZ,
centerX, centerY, centerZ,
upX, upY, upZ);
if(pickPointTrigger)
pickPoint(gl);
gl.glPushMatrix();
gl.glTranslatef(_xTranslate, _yTranslate, _zTranslate);
gl.glTranslatef(centerX, centerY, centerZ);
gl.glRotatef(_xAngle, 1f, 0f, 0f);
gl.glRotatef(_yAngle, 0f, 1f, 0f);
gl.glRotatef(_zAngle, 0f, 0f, 1f);
gl.glTranslatef(-centerX, -centerY, -centerZ);
ptCloud.draw(gl);
gl.glPopMatrix();
}
}
}
Here is my picking function. I've set the location to the middle of the screen just for debugging purposes:
public void pickPoint(GL10 gl){
mg.getCurrentState(gl);
double mvmatrix[] = new double[16];
double projmatrix[] = new double[16];
int viewport[] = {0,0,screenWidth, screenHeight};
for(int i=0 ; i<16; i++){
mvmatrix[i] = mg.mModelView[i];
projmatrix[i] = mg.mProjection[i];
}
mg.getCurrentState(gl);
float realY = ((float) (screenHeight) - pickY);
float nearCoords[] = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f };
float farCoords[] = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f };
GLU.gluUnProject(screenWidth/2, screenHeight/2, 0.0f, mg.mModelView, 0, mg.mProjection, 0,
viewport, 0, nearCoords, 0);
GLU.gluUnProject(screenWidth/2, screenHeight/2, 1.0f, mg.mModelView, 0, mg.mProjection, 0,
viewport, 0, farCoords, 0);
System.out.println("Near: " + nearCoords[0] + "," + nearCoords[1] + "," + nearCoords[2]);
System.out.println("Far: " + farCoords[0] + "," + farCoords[1] + "," + farCoords[2]);
//Plot the points in the scene
nearMarker.set(nearCoords);
farMarker.set(farCoords);
markerOn = true;
double diffX = nearCoords[0] - farCoords[0];
double diffY = nearCoords[1] - farCoords[1];
double diffZ = nearCoords[2] - farCoords[2];
double rayLength = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(diffX, 2) + Math.pow(diffY, 2) + Math.pow(diffZ, 2));
System.out.println("rayLength: " + rayLength);
pickPointTrigger = false;
}
Changing the persepctive zNear and Far doesn't have the expected results, how could the far point of a 1.0-1000.0 perspective be 11 units away?

Looking for any suggestions or hopefully bugs you see in my code. Much appreciated. I'm Bountying as much as I can (this has been a problem for a while).
I'm working on this, too - it's a very irritating irritating problem. I have two potential leads: 1. Somehow, the resulting z depend on where the camera is, and not how you'd expect. When the camera z is at 0, the resulting z is -1, no matter what winZ is. Up until now I've mainly been looking at the resulting z, so I don't have any exact figures on the other coordinates, but I messed around with my code and your code, just now, and I've discovered that the reported ray-length increases the farther the camera gets from (0,0,0). At (0,0,0), the ray-length is reported to be 0. An hour or so ago, I gathered a bunch of points (cameraZ, winZ, resultZ) and plugged them into Mathematica. The result seems to indicate a hyperbolic sort of thing; with one of the variables fixed, the other causes the resulting z to vary linearly, with the rate of change depending on the fixed variable.
My second lead is from http://www.gamedev.net/topic/420427-gluunproject-question/; swordfish quotes a formula:
WinZ = (1.0f/fNear-1.0f/fDistance)/(1.0f/fNear-1.0f/fFar)
Now, this doesn't seem to match up with the data I collected, but it's probably worth a look. I think I'm going to see if I can figure out how the math of this thing works and figure out what's wrong. Let me know if you figure anything out. Oh, also, here's the formula fitted to the data I collected:
-0.11072114015496763- 10.000231721597817 x - 0.0003149873867479971x^2 - 0.8633277851535017 y + 9.990256062051143x y + 8.767260632968973*^-9 y^2
Wolfram Alpha plots it like so: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Plot3D[-0.11072114015496763%60+-+10.000231721597817%60+x+-++++0.0003149873867479971%60+x^2+-+0.8633277851535017%60+y+%2B++++9.990256062051143%60+x+y+%2B+8.767260632968973%60*^-9+y^2+%2C+{x%2C+-15%2C++++15}%2C+{y%2C+0%2C+1}]
AHA! Success! As near as I can tell, gluUnProject is just plain broken. Or, nobody understands how to use it at all. Anyway, I made a function that properly undoes the gluProject function, which appears to really be what they use to draw to the screen in some fashion! Code is as follows:
public float[] unproject(float rx, float ry, float rz) {//TODO Factor in projection matrix
float[] modelInv = new float[16];
if (!android.opengl.Matrix.invertM(modelInv, 0, mg.mModelView, 0))
throw new IllegalArgumentException("ModelView is not invertible.");
float[] projInv = new float[16];
if (!android.opengl.Matrix.invertM(projInv, 0, mg.mProjection, 0))
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Projection is not invertible.");
float[] combo = new float[16];
android.opengl.Matrix.multiplyMM(combo, 0, modelInv, 0, projInv, 0);
float[] result = new float[4];
float vx = viewport[0];
float vy = viewport[1];
float vw = viewport[2];
float vh = viewport[3];
float[] rhsVec = {((2*(rx-vx))/vw)-1,((2*(ry-vy))/vh)-1,2*rz-1,1};
android.opengl.Matrix.multiplyMV(result, 0, combo, 0, rhsVec, 0);
float d = 1 / result[3];
float[] endResult = {result[0] * d, result[1] * d, result[2] * d};
return endResult;
}
public float distanceToDepth(float distance) {
return ((1/fNear) - (1/distance))/((1/fNear) - (1/fFar));
}
It currently assumes the following global variables: mg - a MatrixGrabber with current matrices viewport - a float[4] with the viewport ({x, y, width, height})
The variables it takes are equivalent to the ones that gluUnProject was supposed to take. For example:
float[] xyz = {0, 0, 0};
xyz = unproject(mouseX, viewport[3] - mouseY, 1);
This will return the point under the mouse, on the far plane. I also added a function to convert between a specified distance from the camera and its 0-1...representation...thing. Like so:
unproject(mouseX, viewport[3] - mouseY, distanceToDepth(5));
This will return the point under the mouse 5 units from the camera. I tested this with the method given in the question - I checked the distance between the near plane and the far plane. With fNear of 0.1 and fFar of 100, the distance should be 99.9. I have consistently gotten about 99.8977, regardless of position or orientation of the camera, as far as I can tell. Haha, good to have that figured out. Let me know if you do/don't have any problems with it, or if you want me to rewrite it to take inputs instead of using global variables. Hopefully this helps a few people; I had been wondering about this for a few days before seriously trying to fix it.
Hey, so, having figured out how it's supposed to be, I've figured out what they missed in implementing gluUnProject. They forgot (intended not to and didn't tell anyone?) to divide by the fourth element of the resulting vector, which kinda normalizes the vector or something like that. gluProject sets it to 1 before applying matrices, so it needs to be 1 when you're done undoing them. Long story short, you can actually use gluUnProject, but you need to pass it a float[4], and then divide all the resulting coordinates by the 4th one, like so:
float[] xyzw = {0, 0, 0, 0};
android.opengl.GLU.gluUnProject(rx, ry, rz, mg.mModelView, 0, mg.mProjection, 0, this.viewport, 0, xyzw, 0);
xyzw[0] /= xyzw[3];
xyzw[1] /= xyzw[3];
xyzw[2] /= xyzw[3];
//xyzw[3] /= xyzw[3];
xyzw[3] = 1;
return xyzw;
xyzw should now contain the relevant space coordinates. This seems to work exactly the same as the one I cobbled together. It might be a little bit faster; I think they combined one of the steps.

Examples of Bias in Wikipedia: Liberal Politicians
From Conservapedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article lists examples of Bias in Wikipedia, related to Liberal politicians and the protection of them:
1. The Wikipedia article on the liberal former President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva[1] makes a passing reference to the mensalão scandal as if Lula was not personally involved, but fails to report that convicted conspirators testified that Lula himself knew of and approved of the vote buying.[2] Instead, Wikipedia depicts Lula as a widely admired politician.
2. Noting that Al Gore's 2009 statement that he won a 2007 British court case about An Inconvenient Truth ran contrary to the actual ruling and, especially, the judge's statement that the claimant won the case against the film is considered "original research" and "POV" on Wikipedia.[3]
3. Wikpedia's entry on liberal former Vice President Al Gore contains no mention of the drug charges against his son.[4] But Wikipedia's entry on conservative Vice President Dick Cheney prominently mentions his adult daughter's sexuality.[5] However, due to Wikipedia's liberal editor base, this could be a case of only excluding what the editors believe is negative press about the politicians' respective children, which would be consistent with site policy. In such a case, this example would be better suited for the homosexuality category.
4. When Al Gore's sex scandal was reported, no mention of this issue was allowed on the Al Gore page. The Al Gore Talk page consisted of many liberals saying that it wasn't actually a story. Attempts to create the subject matter elsewhere on Wikipedia were all removed.
5. Wikipedia's article on Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign makes no mention of her endorsement by the leadership of the terrorist group Hamas,[6] but lists endorsements of Republican presidential candidates by the Ku Klux Klan.
6. Wikipedia now promotes the late liberal icon Ted Kennedy as the leader of ... "progressivism": "By the time of his death, he had come to be viewed as a major figure and spokesman for American progressivism."[7] Where on earth did that liberal denial come from?
7. Wikipedia's article of Jimmy Carter's Presidency is clearly biased in favor of the failed politician.[8]
8. Progressivism: List of notable current/former progressives in US Congress:[9] Year-long edit war trying to keep well-known and self-admitted progressives Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Maxine Waters on this list. An editor with a history of left-wing neutral-point-of-view complaints is using every excuse to keep these three names off of the list. This liberal gatekeeper was first complaining about a lack of citations, but after citations were provided of Obama and Clinton in their own words describing *themselves* as progressives, the liberal editor is now trying to argue that "just because they say they are progressives doesn't mean they are", or that "They aren't current members of the Progressive caucus, thus they can't be progressives". This edit war has gone on for over a year, and is now working its way through moderation - likely via liberal moderators. See Wikipedia Progressivism Talk Page and Dispute Resolution Discussion
9. Wikipedia editors tried strenuously to come up with reasons to censor embarrassing stories about the liberal John Edwards,[10] despite frequently including smears against conservatives.[11] Several sites have stories about Wikipedia's obvious liberal bias on this issue.[12][13][14]
10. Wikipedia described the People for the American Way, which is a liberal advocacy group,[15] as a "progressive advocacy organization"[16] and did not mention the term liberal in its lengthy description of it until well after this deficiency was first mentioned here.[17]
11. On August 26, 2016, the UK Chapter of Wikimedia is conducting an edit session at the National Liberal Club "to get better, more in-depth coverage of liberal issues and liberal history in the online encyclopaedia, updating and expanding articles." No similar edit session has been scheduled for conservative issues or conservative history.[18]
12. Various attempts have been made on Wikipedia to emphasize the controversial fact that Elizabeth Warren[19] claimed on many occasions to be a Native American and a "person of color" despite a lack of documented evidence. Due to the revival of this controversy by Donald Trump in the 2016 election, attempts were made to create a separate paragraph about the issue. However, a cabal of administrators instead insisted that the controversy remain buried in the bottom of a section about her 2012 campaign where many readers said they were unable to find it.[20]

Reikes small life...
Friday 3 June 2011: Loetschenpasshuetten night
Day 1 on a two days hike.
One of the most amazing sunsets, what more can I say?
Check out some other pics here, and you will know what I mean, even if you can't grasp what it was like with pictures only.
(I took an unbelievable total of 475 pictures in two days... So much about shotgun photography...)
Good feeling at the end of a day to crawl into a cosy bed at 2700m height, not able to sleep all night long, listening to the rain outside.

A Topological Theory of Empirical Simplicity and its Connection to the Truth
Simplicity is analyzed topologically. Ockham’s razor is shown, under very general conditions, to be the unique, convergent strategy that jointly minimizes errors, retractions, and retraction times prior to convergence to the true theory. 1 Empirical Questions and Solutions 1.1 Input Streams Let I be a set of potential inputs. An input stream is an element of Iω. If w is an input stream let w|i = (w(0), . . . , w(i− 1)), so that w|0 = (), where () denotes the empty sequence. An input sequence of length n is a member of In. A finite input sequence is a finite input sequence of some length. If e is a finite input sequence, let |e| denote the length of e, which is the same as the cardinality of e viewed as a set of ordered pairs. If e is a finite input sequence and e′ is an input stream or finite input sequence, define e ≤ e′ if and only if there exists n such that e′|n = e. 1.2 Empirical Problems An empirical problem is a pair (K, Θ) where Θ is a partition of Iω so that ∅ ⊂ K ⊆ ⋃ Θ ⊆ I. Then K is called the empirical presupposition of the problem and Θ is called the question posed by the problem. Let Hw denote the unique cell of Θ that contains (i.e., is true of) w. Define: K̂ = {w|i : w ∈ K and i ∈ ω},

ADVICE: Follow This $2 Million-A-Day Guy To Increase Your Winning Chances This Week
Famed gambler Billy Walters in front of just one of his homes. He flies there in his own jet.
Most Silverites understand how the System works. But occasionally I get some question emails from players.
And generally the questions are why they have only won a few dollars after a number of games.
They wonder how I'm able to pull in win after win, hitting the famous 98% win rate I often talk about, when they don't see the same results.
When I ask what games they play and how much they are investing, it's a different story altogether.
In fact, like most players who don't get my percentages, they are playing wrong by not following my instructions.
Here's what they should be doing, and how you can increase your winning chances this week as well:
RULE #1. Play the lowest numbers.
I know it's fun to hit the Mega Millions or Powerball because of the massive prizes they offer. But the reality is that there are many games out there where you'll win more regularly, and spend less.
You do this by playing the games with the lowest number of balls and numbers. Think of the most effective game to play - my own country's Lotto game of 6/40... that's 6 balls and 40 numbers.
Then realise that every number you add to this base figure will take you steadily away from optimum results. 7 balls will be worse, as will 59 numbers.
Now, I can improve your results with the special PRO Custom Profiles, but the laws of probability don't change. More numbers means less chances.
RULE #2. More is better.
Can you increase the number of tickets you play in each game? Can you increase the number of times you play with this number of tickets? That's the secret. It's like driving a car along a motorway and looking in your lane for a certain license plate. You'll only see it when you pass a car, or another vehicle passes you, which may be a long time.
How much better if you were to stand on the edge of the motorway (or on an overbridge - stay safe!) and look at the thousands of cars passing you. That way you're likely to see your 'rare' license plate many times every hour.
That's the difference. The more tickets you can play, and the more games you can use these tickets in - the better results you'll get.
RULE #3. There's no such thing as a loss.
Most players run a financial balance sheet in their heads. They'll calculate what they spent, what they won. And if they won, came out even, or had a loss.
That's not the right attitude. Your tickets are just like getting into an event... unless you pay the entry fee, you won't even have a chance. Write off the entry fee, and concentrate on the wins.
Here's an example of a pro who knows this. Billy Walters, Las Vegas' biggest gaming veteran, was recently filmed by the 60 Minutes documentary channel. He was making bets totaling $2 million a day.
According to Billy, sometimes he will not win for weeks or a month at a time. Yes, that long.
But when he wins, it's enough to buy and maintain his new $20 million jet and seven homes. This is the correct professional attitude to winning at anything - from tennis, golf, a race, or the lottery.
The right mindset will get you further than anyone who gives up at the first hurdle.
Think about these 3 Rules.
Then apply them and see what a difference it makes to your winning results.
In the next article I'm going to reveal many little-known tips on Billy Walters' betting philosophy, and how you can learn to better play the lottery from his success.
1. Get the System with LottoPredict
2. Add PRO Custom Profiles

Fiber-optic photo-acoustic spectroscopy sensor for harsh environment gas detection
Photo-acoustic spectroscopy (PAS) has been successfully applied to detect various gases and chemicals due to its high selectivity and sensitivity. However, the performance of the conventional acoustic sensors prohibits the application of PAS for harsh environment gas species real-time monitoring. By replacing conventional acoustic sensors, such as microphone and piezo-transducers, with a high-temperature Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) vibration sensor, we developed a fiber-optic PAS sensing system that can be used in high-temperature and high-pressure harsh environments for gas species identification and concentration measurement. A resonant acoustic chamber is designed, and FBG vibration sensor is embedded in the molybdenum membrane. An OPO laser is used for spectrum scanning. Preliminary test on water vapor has been conducted, and the result is analyzed. This sensing technology can be adapted into harsh environments, such as Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant, and provide on-line real-time monitoring of gases species, such as CO, H2O, and O2. Presently, our FBG-based vibration sensor can withstand the high temperature up to 800°C.

Cell loss and call-blocking performance for fluid-flow sources in buffered ATM networks
Design and analysis of ATM networks in which sources are represented as fluid on/off is addressed. It is critical that cell loss rate as an important QOS measure be related to the call blocking, an important network design parameter, and this relation be used in link capacity sizing, call admission, and routing design. Recently, some research on the relation of cell loss and call blocking have appeared. However, they ignore buffering in the multiplexer. In this paper, it is shown that call blocking in a buffered ATM multiplexer behaves as an Erlang-B loss system. For analytic purposes system buffer is assumed infinite and transmission rate of the link (C) is assumed to be finite. Using past results on probability of cell loss and properties of Nearly Completely Decomposable Markov Chains, the aggregate cell loss when system is in different states is determined. It is shown that call blocking performance for a given link capacity is independent of the individual source parameters. An extended set of application of the results and an inverse problem is stated.

Hang in there. I know the thought probably hurts, but I get where you're coming from with the plan for taking it way back. Maybe do a dramatic removal of detail so you have more of a vague sketch? Little bits still there that resonate with you that you can expand on? I am not sensing Mike in this any more than you are, but I see a lot of potential in this one for you...

My Beautiful Struggle cover
Publication day: My Beautiful Struggle by Jordan Bone
Many congratulations to Jordan Bone on the release of her inspiring memoir My Beautiful Struggle.
Aged 15, Jordan was a happy-go-lucky girl; having fun with friends and loving life. In one fateful moment, everything changed. A car accident left her paralysed from the chest down and shocked her into deep depression. She was on the brink of giving up. But gradually Jordan realised there is hope beyond utter devastation, and life beyond disability.
Painstakingly re-learning how to apply her beloved make-up, Jordan began to rebuild her sense of self and empowerment. Her body may have been broken but her spirit was not. She is now a successful beauty blogger and her journey of positivity inspires millions around the world.
My Beautiful Struggle is the incredible true story of how one young woman overcame immense challenges, of inner strength that lies beneath outer beauty, of how to believe in yourself and find the light when it feels like all hope is gone.

Sexual Dimorphism in Ulna: An Osteometric Study from India
Determination of sex constitutes the most important element during the identification process of human skeletal remains. Several sex‐specific features of human skeleton have been exploited for sex determination with varying reliability. This study aims to obtain sexual dimorphic standards for ulnae of the north Indian population. Eight measurements were obtained on a sample of 106 ulnae (males‐80, females‐26) in the age range of 25–65 years. The sexual dimorphism index and demarking points were calculated for all the variables. The data were then subjected to stepwise and direct discriminant function analysis. The best discriminator of sex was the maximum length (84.9%) followed by radial notch width (84%). In stepwise analysis, these two variables were selected and provided an accuracy of 88.7% (M‐87.5%, F‐92.3%). The proximal end provided a classification rate of 81.1% (M‐80%, F‐84.6%) with selection of the notch length and olecranon width.

New bash prompt causing issues
I changed my bash prompt to this:
PS1="\[\033[1;31m[\[\033[1;33m\$(date +%H:%M)\[\033[1;31m] \u:\[\033[1;32m\W\[\033[1;37m\$\[\033[0m\] "
Sorry for the long line, it is mostly due to colors. Basically when I hit the up arrow to go back in Bash history the prompt disappears and everything screws up. It is similar to this question but I don't know if a \[ is missing and where.
Let's clean it up a bit and make it more portable. In general, it's best to use tput to generate the control sequences instead of hard coding them, as described in Bash FAQ 53. This way it is much easier to find your missing \].
red=$(tput setaf 1)
green=$(tput setaf 2)
yellow=$(tput setaf 3)
white=$(tput setaf 7)
reset=$(tput sgr0)
PS1="\[$red\][\[$yellow\]\A\[$red\]] \u:\[$green\]\W\[$white\]\$\[$reset\] "
Note that I replaced your date invocation with the built-in prompt escape \A that displays the same thing (24-hour time in HH:MM format).
There is one caveat with this approach as described in the linked Bash FAQ, where the output would be garbled if any of the tput control sequences output something that happened to contain a prompt escape. I have never run into that issue so I generally ignore it.

Modeling Emergency Managers’ Hurricane Evacuation Decisions
Emergency management and decision support system (EMDSS) tools play an important role in assisting emergency managers with making important decisions about the movement of people to safety when a jurisdiction is threatened by a storm. One of the important components of an EMDSS is an evacuation demand model that predicts whether and when households will evacuate when they are threatened by a storm. A critical input to that model is an emergency manager's decision to issue an evacuation notice. No existing mathematical models predict whether and when an emergency manager will issue an evacuation notice on the basis of a hurricane forecast and other contextual factors. To fill this gap, this research study sought to develop a model that would predict if and when an emergency manager would issue an evacuation notice when a jurisdiction was threatened by a storm. Data from poststorm assessment surveys and newspaper archives were used to retrieve past decisions made by evacuation managers for five storms in 45 coastal counties or parishes. The data were then used to develop a discrete choice model by use of the time-dependent sequential logit paradigm. Five independent predictor variables—storm surge, clearance time, time to landfall, hurricane category, and time of day—were found to be good predictors of the decisions made by emergency managers. This model could be useful to emergency managers to estimate how other emergency managers decide to evacuate an area when they are faced with an evacuation decision. The model could also benefit researchers and practitioners engaged in modeling and understanding hurricane evacuation behavior.

Alif Dhaal Atoll
Alifu Dhaalu Atoll (also known as Southern Ari Atoll or Ari Atholhu Dhekunuburi) is an administrative division of the Maldives.
The separation of Ari Atoll (formerly Alifu Atoll) on March 1, 1984, into a Northern and a Southern section formed the two most recent administrative divisions of the Maldives, namely Alifu Alifu Atoll and Alifu Dhaalu Atoll. Alifu Dhaalu Atoll lies south of the line between the channels of Himendhoo Dhekunukandu and Genburugau Kandu.
There is an ancient mosque in Fenfushi island having wooden decorated ceilings and lacquerwork panels.
Buddhist remains, including a stupa, have been found in Ariadhoo Island.
Whale sharks are year-round residents of Alif Dhaal Atoll.
Geography.
The South Ari Atoll administrative division consists of the southern part of the geographic or natural Ari Atoll (described as Southern Ari Atoll in this context to differentiate from the official name of the administrative division). The atoll consists of Inhabited Islands and Uninhabited Island, a definition which includes resort islands, airport islands and industrial islands.
Resort islands.
Resort islands are classified as Uninhabited Islands which have been converted to become resorts. The following are the resort islands, with the official name of the resort.

High-Accuracy All-Digital Resolver-to-Digital Conversion
In this paper, a high-accuracy all-digital resolverto-digital (R/D) converter is presented. The two basic components of a conventional tracking R/D converter, the phase detector and the loop filter, are software implemented by frequency-shifting techniques and a decoupled double synchronous reference frame-based phase-locked loop (DSRF-PLL). This PLL allows the simultaneous extraction of the angular position and speed of the rotatory resolver, even in the presence of gain and phase errors in the resolver. In order to increase accuracy and to minimize the time lag of the whole system, oversampling methods and downsampling finite-impulse response digital filters are introduced. Finally, DSP implementation issues, like the use of techniques to synchronize the resolver output signals with the excitation one, are discussed. Using these combined techniques and a standard DSP with a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter, resolutions of up to 14 bits can be achieved with a computation cost of about 13% of the total (100 MIPs). The paper presents the main techniques, simulation, and experimental results.

The paper presents the main techniques, simulation, and experimental results.","abstract_count":162,"abstract_language":"en","abstract_perplexity":-15.081192945653438,"extfieldsofstudy":["Computer Science","Engineering"],"provenance":"pes2o_v2-0001.json.gz:3341166","s2fieldsofstudy":["Computer Science","Engineering"],"sha1":"ce4bfded1d8512740987aec2df95c797f998ace1","sources":["IEEE","DBLP","Unpaywall","ScienceParseMerged","MAG"],"title":"High-Accuracy All-Digital Resolver-to-Digital Conversion","title_count":4,"title_language":"en","title_perplexity":-17.99647603912644,"top_frequencies":[{"count":14,"token":"the"},{"count":9,"token":"of"},{"count":8,"token":"and"},{"count":6,"token":"a"},{"count":4,"token":"to"},{"count":3,"token":"are"},{"count":3,"token":"techniques"},{"count":3,"token":"with"},{"count":2,"token":"In"},{"count":2,"token":"The"},{"count":2,"token":"converter,"},{"count":2,"token":"phase"},{"count":2,"token":"loop"},{"count":2,"token":"in"},{"count":2,"token":"DSP"},{"count":1,"token":"High-Accuracy"},{"count":1,"token":"All-Digital"},{"count":1,"token":"Resolver-to-Digital"},{"count":1,"token":"Conversion"},{"count":1,"token":"this"},{"count":1,"token":"paper,"},{"count":1,"token":"high-accuracy"},{"count":1,"token":"all-digital"},{"count":1,"token":"resolverto-digital"},{"count":1,"token":"(R\/D)"},{"count":1,"token":"converter"},{"count":1,"token":"is"},{"count":1,"token":"presented."},{"count":1,"token":"two"},{"count":1,"token":"basic"},{"count":1,"token":"components"},{"count":1,"token":"conventional"},{"count":1,"token":"tracking"},{"count":1,"token":"R\/D"},{"count":1,"token":"detector"},{"count":1,"token":"filter,"},{"count":1,"token":"software"},{"count":1,"token":"implemented"},{"count":1,"token":"by"},{"count":1,"token":"frequency-shifting"},{"count":1,"token":"decoupled"},{"count":1,"token":"double"},{"count":1,"token":"synchronous"},{"count":1,"token":"reference"},{"count":1,"token":"frame-based"},{"count":1,"token":"phase-locked"},{"count":1,"token":"(DSRF-PLL)."},{"count":1,"token":"This"},{"count":1,"token":"PLL"},{"count":1,"token":"allows"},{"count":1,"token":"simultaneous"},{"count":1,"token":"extraction"},{"count":1,"token":"angular"},{"count":1,"token":"position"},{"count":1,"token":"speed"},{"count":1,"token":"rotatory"},{"count":1,"token":"resolver,"},{"count":1,"token":"even"},{"count":1,"token":"presence"},{"count":1,"token":"gain"},{"count":1,"token":"errors"},{"count":1,"token":"resolver."},{"count":1,"token":"order"},{"count":1,"token":"increase"},{"count":1,"token":"accuracy"},{"count":1,"token":"minimize"},{"count":1,"token":"time"},{"count":1,"token":"lag"},{"count":1,"token":"whole"},{"count":1,"token":"system,"},{"count":1,"token":"oversampling"},{"count":1,"token":"methods"},{"count":1,"token":"downsampling"},{"count":1,"token":"finite-impulse"},{"count":1,"token":"response"},{"count":1,"token":"digital"},{"count":1,"token":"filters"},{"count":1,"token":"introduced."},{"count":1,"token":"Finally,"},{"count":1,"token":"implementation"},{"count":1,"token":"issues,"},{"count":1,"token":"like"},{"count":1,"token":"use"},{"count":1,"token":"synchronize"},{"count":1,"token":"resolver"},{"count":1,"token":"output"},{"count":1,"token":"signals"},{"count":1,"token":"excitation"},{"count":1,"token":"one,"},{"count":1,"token":"discussed."},{"count":1,"token":"Using"},{"count":1,"token":"these"},{"count":1,"token":"combined"},{"count":1,"token":"standard"},{"count":1,"token":"12-bit"},{"count":1,"token":"analog-to-digital"},{"count":1,"token":"resolutions"},{"count":1,"token":"up"},{"count":1,"token":"14"},{"count":1,"token":"bits"}],"year":2012},"source":"s2","version":"v3-fos"}

Give Examples of Your Bold Claims!
Speaking as an experienced manager who has recently taken on hiring responsibilities, I can confidently state that I would not hire 99% of the people responding here. The answers are hugely vague, horribly generic and painfully cliche. However, the biggest flaw with the majority is that there are no examples to verify the bold claims of awesomeness. You're a hard worker? You have amazing customer service skills? You are good at studying?! Every applicant says that. GIVE EXAMPLES. You need to verify your claims, or your application will be canned immediately. Oh, and saying you have certain awesome personality traits or abilities because you are religious is totally meaningless.

Music and Listening to My Heart
I'm 14 (high school in our country) and passionate in music. Why do I know so? Because i have always had interest in it since I was younger. Society made me believe that I can't make a living through music, so I decided to look for a different path for myself since I myself am smart. I study in an science high school only for few chosen students in our districts. I thought I should be a doctor, but I felt that when I think of my future, I see myself as so, but what I feel about it is lost. My heart wasn't in it. I realized what was missing, why I felt empty about imagining my future. I denied my passion for music back then, but now realizing what I truly want, I feel happier and more alive, cause I just listened to what my heart says, and music is what I want.

Why do class member functions defined outside the class (but in header file) have to be inlined?
I have read existing answers on the two meanings of inline, but I am still confused.
Let's assume we have the following header file:
// myclass.h
#ifndef INCLUDED_MYCLASS
#define INCLUDED_MYCLASS
class MyClass
{
public:
void foo(); // declaration
};
inline void MyClass::foo()
{
// definition
}
#endif
Why does void foo() which is defined outside the class in the file, have to be explicitly defined with inline?
It's because you defined MyClass::foo in a header file. Or a bit more abstract, that definition will be present in multiple translation units (every .cpp file that includes the header).
Having more than one definition of a variable/function in a program is a violation of the one definition rule, which requires that there must be only one definition in a single program of every variable/function.
Note that header guards do not protect against this, as they only protect if you include the same header multiple times in the same file.
Marking the function definition as inline though means that the definition will always be the same across multiple translation units.1.
In practice, this means that the linker will just use the first definition of MyClass::foo and use that everywhere, while ignoring the rest,
1: If this is not the case your program is ill-formed with no diagnostics required whatsoever.

Continuous Improvement
Since 2009 we have implemented a light Kaizen (the translation of kai ("change") zen ("good") is "improvement").
The core principle of CIP is the self reflection of processes.
The purpose of Continuous Improvement is the identification, reduction, and elimination of suboptimal processes and the emphasis of CIP is on incremental, continual steps rather than giant leaps.
Improvements are based on many, small changes rather than the radical changes that most often arise from the feedback we received from our clients and candidates.

Effect of pH and inorganic phosphate on creatine kinase inactivation: an in vitro 31P NMR saturation-transfer study.
The pseudo-first-order rate constant of rabbit muscle creatine kinase (CK), in the direction of ATP synthesis (kf), was determined by saturation-transfer 31P NMR. When pH was varied between 6.0 and 7.4, kf increased linearly at both 20 degrees C and 37 degrees c. The corresponding flux is very small between pH 6.0 and 6.5, in contrast to previous studies. Up to 50 h exposure of the CK enzyme to high concentrations of inorganic phosphate (Pi), a known inhibitor in certain situations, had negligible effect on enzymatic flux in the physiological pH range. Thus under in vivo conditions, such as in stroke, where pH falls as low as 6.2 and Pi rises to high levels, the rate of the CK reaction may be severely reduced due to pH but not due to high Pi concentrations.

As Plain As the. . .Oh, Never Mind
Link via Martin Devon.
Thomas Lipscomb looks at Yasser Arafat’s increasing impotence:
And why ever would the Israelis want to kill him now? Arafat now is a figure of total ridicule to both his enemies and his allies. What better evidence than the casual ease with which both President Bush and Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah had Sharon agree to release Arafat during a meeting in Crawford, Texas, devoted to weightier matters?
And now, with the cage door of his Ramallah prison wide open, with Arafat “freed” at last, and his “martyrdom” a hollow joke, Arafat still sits inside, a stunned old man. No one knows more than he how irrelevant he has become.
This lesson might be one the same one Greeks learned from the Persians millenia ago. By the time of the Byzantine Empire, there was a formal ban on anyone with visible deformities ascending to the throne.
So would-be usurpers had their noses sliced off.
Arafat’s face is no uglier than it ever was, so you can bet the IDF aimed its knife a wee bit lower.

Biochemical signal transmitted by Fc gamma receptors: phospholipase A2 activity of Fc gamma 2b receptor of murine macrophage cell line P388D1.
The detergent lysate of the P388D1 macrophage cell line was subjected to affinity chromatography on two different media, Sepharose coupled to heat-aggregated human IgG (IgG-Sepharose) and Sepharose coupled to the phosphatidylcholine analog rac-1-(9-carboxyl)nonyl-2-hexadecylglycero-3-phosphocholine (PC-Sepharose). Both IgG- and phosphatidylcholine-binding proteins were further purified by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and isoelectric focusing in the presence of 6 M urea. The isolated IgG-binding proteins specifically bound to IgG2a, but not to IgG2b, whereas the isolated phosphatidylcholine-binding proteins specifically bound to IgG2b but not to IgG2a. Phosphatidylcholine-binding proteins possessed a typical phospholipase A2 activity (phosphatide 2-acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.4), which was maximal (10 mumol/min per mg of protein) at pH 9.5, depended on Ca2+, and was specific for cleavage of fatty acid from the C-2 position of the glycerol backbone of phosphatidylcholine. The noted enzymatic activity was augmented 4-fold by preincubating phosphatidylcholine-binding proteins with heat-aggregated murine IgG2b but not with IgG2a. IgG-binding proteins, on the other hand, are devoid of any detectable phospholipase A2 activity. Thus, the functional significance of Fc gamma 2b receptor of P388D1 macrophage cell line would be the generation of phospholipase A2 activity at the cell surface upon specific binding to Fc gamma 2b fragment.

27 Arietis
27 Arietis is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Aries. "27 Arietis" is the Flamsteed designation. It is a dim, yellow-hued star that is close to the lower limit of what can be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude is 6.21. The annual parallax shift of corresponds to a physical distance of approximately from Earth. It is advancing closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −122.7 km/s, and may come as close as in around 643,000 years.
This appears to be a single-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 130.7 days and an eccentricity of 0.366. It has an ""a" sin "i"" value of , where "a" is the semimajor axis and "i" is the inclination to the line of sight from the Earth. This value provides a lower bound on the actual semimajor axis. The visible component has a stellar classification of , displaying mixed spectral traits of an evolved subgiant and a giant star, with a strong underabundance of iron. The CN bands of this star are very weak.

Characterization of cladribine and its related compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry.
High-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometer (HPLC/MS) was used to identify and structurally characterize the modified nucleoside cladribine (2-chloro-2'-deoxy-beta-adenosine) and 13 synthesis-related byproducts in bulk drug. Confirmation of compound identity was accomplished by spectral analysis (1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and UV absorption spectroscopy) of the related compounds as isolated from crude mixtures of the drug substance and by spiking experiments with authentic standards. The use of on-line mass spectrometric analysis (i.e., LC/MS) to augment UV absorption spectra permitted rapid identification of many of the compounds of interest.

Battle of Arcole – French forces defeat the Austrians in Italy. The Battle of Arcole, or Battle of Arcola (15–17 November 1796) saw a bold manœuvre by Napoleon Bonaparte's French Army of Italy to outflank the Austrian army under József Alvinczi and cut its line of retreat. The French victory proved to be the most significant event during the third Austrian attempt to lift the Siege of Mantua during the War of the First Coalition, part of the French Revolutionary Wars. Arcole is located 25 kilometres (16 mi) southeast of Verona on Route SP39.

Diagnosis and monitoring in patients with hairy cell leukemia using the monoclonal antibody anti-HC2.
Immunofluorescent staining of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with the monoclonal antibody anti-HC2 combined with phase microscopic examination identified leukemic hairy cells in nine of 13 patients (69%) evaluated at Memorial Hospital prior to treatment with recombinant alpha-interferon (rIFN-alpha A). The remaining four patients required further studies of bone marrow or peripheral blood cytospin samples for diagnosis. In some cases a low percentage of cells staining with anti-HC2 could be significantly increased by depleting T cells from the sample using sheep red blood cell rosetting. These 13 patients represent a subgroup of patients treated on a phase II rIFN-alpha A study at Memorial Hospital. Ten patients (77%) achieved a partial response in a median of 128 days (range, 64-234). One patient achieved a minor response and two patients failed treatment. Nonhematologic toxicity, consisting of fever and malaise, was transient in all patients. Serial determinations of HC2-positive cells in the peripheral blood closely paralleled disease activity in the bone marrow in one patient treated for 4 years with various therapeutic modalities. The antibody anti-HC2 may play a significant role in the diagnosis and monitoring of hairy cell leukemia using peripheral blood sampling.

A Novel Tb@Sr-MOF as Self-Calibrating Luminescent Sensor for Nutritional Antioxidant
Sesamol, is well-known antioxidant and can reduce the rate of oxidation and prolong expiration date. It is also potentially antimutagenic and antihepatotoxic, the detection of sesamol is important and remains a huge challenge. Herein, a new 3D alkaline earth Sr metal organic framework [Sr(BDC)·DMAC·H2O]n (BDC = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate; DMAC = N,N-dimethylacetamide) is synthesized and a probe based on Tb3+ functionalized Sr-MOF. The Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF showed good luminescence and thermal property. Due to the energy competition between sesamol and ligand, the luminescence intensity of sesamol increases meantime luminescence intensity of Tb3+ decreases, the ratio of the emission intensities (I344/I545) linearly increases with sesamol in concentrations ranging from 1 × 10−7 to 8 × 10−4 M. Furthermore, the fluorescence-detected circular test shows that the composite Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF can serve as ratiometric sensor for sensing of sesamol. This is the first example for self-calibrated detecting sesamol based on metal-organic framework (MOF).
Introduction
Sesame oil is a high-priced, high-quality health food that is popular in China and India because it contains a number of bioactive phytochemical; it is very high in natural antioxidants in the form of lignans. Antioxidant compounds in sesame seed oil that are beneficial impacts on health have attracted increasing attention. Sesamol (3,4-methylenedioxyphenol) is a natural phenolic lignan found in sesame seed or sesame oil as well as has shown promising antioxidant and neuroprotective effects [1,2]. Recently, tremendous research has shown that sesamol can weaken injury in endotoxemic rats, lower serum lipids and blood pressure; it also has potentially anti-hypertensive and anti-inflammatory activities in humans. Sesamol content plays an important role human health and the flavor of sesame oil, therefore there is a need for sesamol determination for evaluate lignan content in sesame oil or other food, meanwhile, determination of sesamol in different environment with high selectivity and sensitivity has also become a major research topic. Some detection methods for sesamol have been developed [3,4] such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or ultraviolet (UV) detection ultraviolet (UV) detection. However, many disadvantages have various limitations such as time-consuming, cost, complicated preparation process, and the need for professionals. Therefore, it is exigent to explore a kind of simple, rapid, highly selective, and sensitive access for detecting sesamol [5].
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are crystalline porous architectures that are composed of metal ions or clusters and organic ligand, have been emerging as very promising materials which can
Detection of Sesamol
The obtained Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF (2.00 mg) dispersed in 4 mL ethanol and ultrasonicated for 5 min. Different concentrations of sesamol ethanol solutions were prepared and mixed with suspension of Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF for the detection of sesamol. For the selectivity of sesamol detection, 1 × 10 −3 M for sesamol, 4-Methylcatechol, catechol, guaiacol, carvacrol, paeonol, thymol, vanillin, resorcinol, and 1,3-dichlorophenol were also prepared and added to each of the suspension of Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF, respectively. In order to examine the cycle performance of Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF, the suspension is formed by dispersing the sample (1 mg/mL) into ethanol. After detection of sesamol, the suspensions of Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF/sesamol are obtained by filtration and rinsed several times with ethanol, then the Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF was dried naturally and ready for the next cyclic test.
X-ray Crystallography
Crystal of Sr-MOF was collected from the mother liquor. Single-crystal data of Sr-MOF were collected on a Rigaku Oxford CCD diffractometer equipped with graphite-monochromatic Mo-K α radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) at 293 K. The structure was solved by direct methods, and refined by full-matrix least-square method with the SHELX-2016 program package. The crystallographic data and refinements and the selected bond lengths and angles for Sr-MOF are listed in Tables 1 and 2.
Results and Discussion
The crystals of Sr-BDC belong to the orthorhombic space group Pnma, the asymmetric unit is made up of half a Sr 2+ ion, half a BDC 2− ligand, half a DMA, and half a water molecules (Figure 1a). The Sr 2+ ion is bound to eight O atoms from one H 2 O, one DMAC and four BDC 2− ligands, which form an octahedron which adopted distorted bicapped coordination. The DMAC and H 2 O are monodentate, and the COO − of a BDC 2− adopted two coordination modes with Sr 2+ ions: η1:η1 and η2:η2-bridging mode, which link one and three Sr 2+ ion. In Figure 1b, in the bicapped octahedron, the Sr-O bond distance vary from 2.490(6) to 2.687(5) Å. A zigzag chain is formed by adjacent octahedra along the b axis, and the chains are connected by the BDC 2− (µ4,η1:η1:η2:η2-bridging mode) forming a three-dimensional framework, (Figure 1), which form quadrangular channel (two kinds of triangular channels), DMAC molecules are filled and connected directly to the Sr 2+ ions in the channels.
The XRD patterns of simulated and as-synthesized Sr-MOF, Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF are shown in Figure 2. All the diffraction peaks (the Sr-MOF and Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF) were well corresponded to those in the simulated PXRD pattern of Sr-MOF(CCDC:1551141). The introduction of Tb 3+ will not influence the crystal form of Sr-MOF. The XRD patterns of simulated and as-synthesized Sr-MOF, Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF are shown in Figure 2. All the diffraction peaks (the Sr-MOF and Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF) were well corresponded to those in the simulated PXRD pattern of Sr-MOF(CCDC:1551141). The introduction of Tb 3+ will not influence the crystal form of Sr-MOF. As shown in Figure 3, the TG measurement show that Tb@Sr-MOF and Sr-MOF similar thermal stability and exhibit three events of mass (Tb@Sr-MOF and Sr-MOF) reduction. The TG curve shows that Tb@Sr-MOF and Sr-MOF starts to reduce mass at ~130 °C due to the removal of water molecules and complete dehydration is at about 200 °C. The second plateau of reducing mass start from 200 °C to 310 °C corresponds to the loss of DMAC. The decomposition of the organic ligand begins at 580 °C As shown in Figure 3, the TG measurement show that Tb@Sr-MOF and Sr-MOF similar thermal stability and exhibit three events of mass (Tb@Sr-MOF and Sr-MOF) reduction. The TG curve shows that Tb@Sr-MOF and Sr-MOF starts to reduce mass at~130 • C due to the removal of water molecules and complete dehydration is at about 200 • C. The second plateau of reducing mass start from 200 • C to 310 • C corresponds to the loss of DMAC. The decomposition of the organic ligand begins at 580 • C and ends at 630 • C. The final stage of reducing mass start from 630 • C corresponds to oxide.

The final stage of reducing mass start from 630 °C corresponds to oxide. As seen in Figure 5, Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF exhibits characteristic emission of the Tb 3+ ion when excited 294 nm. Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF exhibits three peaks at 489, 545, and 592 nm originated from 5 D4→ 7 FJ (J = 6, 5, 4) transitions, respectively. The emission bands of the Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF at 545 nm show a bright green light. The results suggested Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF can act as a luminescence sensor.

Conclusions
In summary, a new 3D alkaline earth Sr metal organic framework is synthesized and chosen as a host to sensitize via encapsulating Tb 3+ in Sr-MOF. Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF display excellent luminescent property and thermal stability. Due to energy competition between sesamol and ligand, the luminescent intensity of sesamol (I344) increases meantime luminescence intensity of Tb 3+ (I545) decreases. The Tb(3+)@Sr-MOF can be used as ratiometric sensor for sesamol. It is the first time reported that the rational design and preparation of luminescent MOFs for ratiometric sensing of sesamol relying on the ratio of emission-peak-height of analyte (sesamol) to lanthanide ions (Tb 3+ ) as the detectable signals. In addition, this strategy may promote the development of lanthanide functionalized MOF for self-calibrating sensing and broaden the application of alkaline earth metal organic framework.

smilingrid: Eggvocado
June 05, 2013
This is for one of those days when you've run out of scones and cereal just isn't tickling your fancy.
OR it could be for just about any time.
I give you the delicious, the nutritious, the prodigious (my favorite word growing up!)*drum roll* Eggvocado!
A mix between "egg" and "avocado" that pretty much amounts to "yummy."
You'll thank me for this.
Ingredients, Assemble!
Take your avocado and halve it.
Then use a spoon to scoop out enough of that delicious green goop (mmmm appetizing description, huh?) to make a decent bowl. (At this point, you should probably make a tin foil boat to minimize mess both now and when they're in the oven...)
Crack an egg in either side, smother in cheese, and pop those babies in the oven!
Now, my oven is old and very finicky so I've just been turning it to broiler and watching for the eggs to bake. If you want more specific instructions, there are plenty of recipes on pinterest!
I like to cover mine in Sriracha (which my family lovingly refers to as "thai ketchup"), but it's delicious on it's own or with any topping you'd want to try.
Seriously, it's that good.
Since it's so conveniently split in half, this can serve two...or you can just eat both yourself!
1. Ahh yours look so much more yummy!! Hehe. I will have to carve mine out more next time & put more cheese. Mmmm
Breakfast twins ;)
1. Your avocado must have been huge to not make you carve it so much! I've loved it with seasonings like in your post, but thought the cheese made for good pictures :) Both are "yum!" inspiring!

Determination of the minimum number of cardiac cycles necessary to ensure representative blood flow velocity measurements
The aim of this study was to determine the minimum number of cardiac cycles necessary over which blood flow velocity representative of the situation (and not unduly influenced by sporadic irregularities). Blood flow was measured by Doppler ultrasound in the adult a. carotis communis, a. femoralis and fetal a. umbilicalis. The coefficients of variation (CV) for the Pulsatility Index (PI), Resistance Index (RI) and Time Average of Space Average Velocities (TASAV) from 10 averaged cycles were compared with the CVs of the respective indices from 2, 3, 4 up to 9 averaged cycles. The number of averaged cycles where the difference between the coefficients of variability became insignificant (Wilcoxon signed rank test) was taken to be the point at which representative values of PI, RI or, respectively, TASAV are assured. For PI evaluation for the a. carotis communis with either the 7 mx or 15 mx calculation program one needs to average over 7 cardiac cycles. Manually determining the maximum frequency curve envelope, 5 cycles are sufficient. Using these same calculation programs for the a. femoralis, 5, 6 and, respectively, 6, cycles are sufficient for representative PI indices; for the umbilical artery, 6, 8 and, respectively, 7 cycles are necessary. For RI, 5 cycles are sufficient in both the a. carotis communis and a. umbilicalis by manual evaluation. For TASAV, a minimum of 3 cycles for the a. carotis communis and of 7 for the a. femoralis are necessary. Thus the number of cardiac cycles which should be averaged is dependent on the vessel being examined, the index being calculated, and the program being used.

Thus the number of cardiac cycles which should be averaged is dependent on the vessel being examined, the index being calculated, and the program being used.","abstract_count":265,"abstract_language":"en","abstract_perplexity":-16.05420473662826,"extfieldsofstudy":["Medicine"],"provenance":"pes2o_v2-0006.json.gz:3831218","s2fieldsofstudy":["Medicine"],"sha1":"2d26700dcd3d088fb157c638d20049ad95f5b8dd","sources":["Medline","ScienceParseMerged","DeGruyter","MAG","Anansi","Unpaywall"],"title":"Determination of the minimum number of cardiac cycles necessary to ensure representative blood flow velocity measurements","title_count":16,"title_language":"en","title_perplexity":-11.98528730731451,"top_frequencies":[{"count":22,"token":"the"},{"count":14,"token":"of"},{"count":10,"token":"cycles"},{"count":9,"token":"a."},{"count":7,"token":"for"},{"count":6,"token":"are"},{"count":5,"token":"to"},{"count":5,"token":"and"},{"count":4,"token":"number"},{"count":4,"token":"cardiac"},{"count":4,"token":"representative"},{"count":4,"token":"carotis"},{"count":4,"token":"averaged"},{"count":4,"token":"7"},{"count":3,"token":"minimum"},{"count":3,"token":"flow"},{"count":3,"token":"The"},{"count":3,"token":"was"},{"count":3,"token":"which"},{"count":3,"token":"by"},{"count":3,"token":"respectively,"},{"count":3,"token":"For"},{"count":3,"token":"communis"},{"count":3,"token":"being"},{"count":2,"token":"necessary"},{"count":2,"token":"blood"},{"count":2,"token":"velocity"},{"count":2,"token":"over"},{"count":2,"token":"in"},{"count":2,"token":"femoralis"},{"count":2,"token":"coefficients"},{"count":2,"token":"Index"},{"count":2,"token":"Average"},{"count":2,"token":"from"},{"count":2,"token":"with"},{"count":2,"token":"cycles."},{"count":2,"token":"be"},{"count":2,"token":"PI"},{"count":2,"token":"mx"},{"count":2,"token":"calculation"},{"count":2,"token":"program"},{"count":2,"token":"5"},{"count":2,"token":"and,"},{"count":2,"token":"6,"},{"count":2,"token":"sufficient"},{"count":2,"token":"necessary."},{"count":1,"token":"Determination"},{"count":1,"token":"ensure"},{"count":1,"token":"measurements"},{"count":1,"token":"aim"},{"count":1,"token":"this"},{"count":1,"token":"study"},{"count":1,"token":"determine"},{"count":1,"token":"situation"},{"count":1,"token":"(and"},{"count":1,"token":"not"},{"count":1,"token":"unduly"},{"count":1,"token":"influenced"},{"count":1,"token":"sporadic"},{"count":1,"token":"irregularities)."},{"count":1,"token":"Blood"},{"count":1,"token":"measured"},{"count":1,"token":"Doppler"},{"count":1,"token":"ultrasound"},{"count":1,"token":"adult"},{"count":1,"token":"communis,"},{"count":1,"token":"fetal"},{"count":1,"token":"umbilicalis."},{"count":1,"token":"variation"},{"count":1,"token":"(CV)"},{"count":1,"token":"Pulsatility"},{"count":1,"token":"(PI),"},{"count":1,"token":"Resistance"},{"count":1,"token":"(RI)"},{"count":1,"token":"Time"},{"count":1,"token":"Space"},{"count":1,"token":"Velocities"},{"count":1,"token":"(TASAV)"},{"count":1,"token":"10"},{"count":1,"token":"were"},{"count":1,"token":"compared"},{"count":1,"token":"CVs"},{"count":1,"token":"respective"},{"count":1,"token":"indices"},{"count":1,"token":"2,"},{"count":1,"token":"3,"},{"count":1,"token":"4"},{"count":1,"token":"up"},{"count":1,"token":"9"},{"count":1,"token":"where"},{"count":1,"token":"difference"},{"count":1,"token":"between"},{"count":1,"token":"variability"},{"count":1,"token":"became"},{"count":1,"token":"insignificant"},{"count":1,"token":"(Wilcoxon"},{"count":1,"token":"signed"},{"count":1,"token":"rank"},{"count":1,"token":"test)"},{"count":1,"token":"taken"}],"year":1989},"source":"s2","version":"v3-fos"}

P252 Gold Category And Optimal Management : A Canadian Perspective
Hypothesis Current Canadian guidelines and GOLD strategy for COPD management provide a treatment algorithm based on current symptoms and exacerbation history. We wished to assess COPD patient current objective, subjective symptoms, quality of life and exacerbation history of a random sample in primary care and office based chest medicine clinics. A convenience sample of 500 was selected. Results We report the characteristics of the first 250 COPD patients from our ongoing 500 patient survey. Basic demographics 55% Male, 45% Female. Mean age patients 68 ± 12 yrs, all patients were previous smokers with 56 ± 10 pkt/yrs smoking history. 34% remain current smokers. Mean FEV1 48% ± 10%, Mean FEV1/FVC ratio 49% ± 10. Median mMRC dyspnea score 2. Mean CAT score 18 ± 10 (Range 0–38). GOLD Stage Classification 13% GOLD Stage A, 67% GOLD Stage B, 1% GOLD Stage C and 19% GOLD Stage D. Current treatment LAMA (long-acting muscarinic antagonist) was prescribed to over 90% of all patients in groups B, C and D whereas monotherapy with LABA (long acting beta-agonist) or dual bronchodilation with LABA/LAMA therapy was prescribed to less than 5%. There was significant overtreatment with ICS/LABA in all categories with high dose ICS (inhaled corticosteroid) being preferred. 20% of patients in GOLD Stage A where receiving Triple therapy (LAMA + ICS/LABA) and a further 20% where receiving monotherapy with ICS/LABA, yet had no history of exacerbations. 30% of patients in GOLD Stage B where receiving Triple therapy (LAMA + ICS/LABA) yet had no history of exacerbations. Conclusion Current Canadian Guidelines and the GOLD strategy focus on symptom relief and striving to prevent exacerbations with step-wise prescription of short and long-acting bronchodilators with individual or combinations of LAMA, LABA, LAMA/LABA or ICS/LABA inhalers. Patients in GOLD Group C are rare. Current prescription choices in our survey does not reflect current evidence or guidelines. We report a heavy reliance on ICS/LABA along with over prescription of triple therapy at all stages of disease.
