Powder Gods are Smiling
Skiing San Jacinto Peak's East Face

- Skiing San Jacinto
SAN JACINTO PEAK, CALIFORNIA — It can be easy to lose faith. Yes, any one of Southern California's three massive ranges ought to offer outstanding skiing.
But toss in a few years of drought, a few too many days of dirt, rock, and (if you're lucky) ice, and a relentlessly sunny and warm 'subtropical' climate, and even the most hardened ski mountaineer can come to believe that skiing and Southern California just don't mix. And then comes a day like this...
We are skiing light, flawless, untracked powder, floating as if on air through the forests and glades of Palm Springs' San Jacinto Wilderness.
Has it been a challenging season thus far? Yes—but with these turns, all is forgiven. A cold storm has blanketed icy and/or bare Southern California mountain slopes with three feet of snow and more.
Heavy rain, meanwhile, pounds the freeways and foothills in the Los Angeles Basin, creating all the usual calamities. Winter has returned to Southern California.
The plan today, given all the new snow and unsettled weather, is an exploratory look-see in the San Jacinto Wilderness. It's Sunday morning, and my skiing partner Bill Henry and I hit the Southern California freeway system at a reasonable 7:30 a.m., heading east to the Palm Springs Desert. From there, we'll take the vertigo-inspiring Palm Springs Aerial Tramway up to Round Valley and places beyond.
As for our ultimate destination, San Jacinto Peak's 10,804' summit is a tempting possibility. Though I've hiked the peak in summer, I've never skied it, but from past wanderings I know that much of the high-altitude terrain in the San Jacinto wilderness is gentle, low-angle fare, perfect for safe skiing in stormy weather—with certain spectacular exceptions, of course.

|Transvaginal ultrasonography of a hematometra after childbirth, seen as a hypoechoic (darker) area within the uterine cavity. The cervix is located to the left in the image, and the fundus is located to the right.
Hematometra is a medical condition involving collection or retention of blood in the uterus. It is most commonly caused by an imperforate hymen or a transverse vaginal septum.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
Hematometra typically presents as cyclic, cramping pain in the midline of the pelvis or lower abdomen.[1] Patients may also report urinary frequency and urinary retention.[2] Premenopausal women with hematometra often experience abnormal vaginal bleeding, including dysmenorrhea (pain during menstruation) or amenorrhea (lack of menstruation), while postmenopausal women are more likely to be asymptomatic.[3] Due to the accumulation of blood in the uterus, patients may develop low blood pressure or a vasovagal response.[4] When palpated, the uterus will typically feel firm and enlarged.[4]
Hematometra develops when the uterus becomes distended with blood secondary to obstruction or atresia of the lower reproductive tract—the uterus, cervix or vagina—which would otherwise provide an outflow for menstrual blood.[2] It is most commonly caused by congenital abnormalities, including imperforate hymen, transverse vaginal septum or vaginal hypoplasia. Other causes are acquired, such as cervical stenosis, intrauterine adhesions, endometrial cancer, and cervical cancer.[3]
Additionally, hematometra may develop as a complication of uterine or cervical surgery such as endometrial ablation, where scar tissue in the endometrium can "wall off" sections of endometrial glands and stroma causing blood to accumulate in the uterine cavity.[1] It can also develop after abortion,[4] as well as after childbirth. It can also develop after female genital mutilation.
Although hematometra can often be diagnosed based purely on the patient's history of amenorrhea and cyclic abdominal pain, as well as a palpable pelvic mass on examination, the diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound, which will show blood pooled in the uterus and an enlargement of the uterine cavity.[4][5] A pyelogram or laparoscopy may assist in diagnosing any congenital disorder that is suspected to be the underlying cause of the hematometra.[2]
Hematometra is usually treated by surgical cervical dilation to drain the blood from the uterus.[3] Other treatments target the underlying cause of the hematometra; for example, a hysteroscopy may be required to resect adhesions that have developed following a previous surgery.[1] If the cause of the hematometra is unclear, a biopsy of endometrial tissue can be taken to test for the presence of a neoplasm (cancer).[5] Antibiotics may be given as prophylaxis against the possibility of infection.[3]

The BBC has issued linguistic guidelines for its journalists covering the Paralympic Games.
But the guidelines only include English words — which is a problem for the many programs the BBC puts out in other languages.
According to the new rules, "disabled person" is preferable to "person with disabilities." "Invalid" and "handicapped" are unacceptable. To describe those without a disability, the BBC likes "non-disabled" more than "able-bodied."
The BBC program The Fifth Floor gathered three non-English language journalists to talk about this. Do these reporters translate the approved English terms? Do they use alternative expressions that might be locally acceptable but frowned upon in English? Or do they dream up new terms that make more sense in their languages?
BBC Uzbek reporter Shodiyor Sayf has particular insight. He's disabled from having polio as a child. But even he and his translator have trouble coming up with the appropriate words to describe how his disability affects the way he walks.
"Not as an able-bodied person," his translator says, then asks. "Is that right word I'm using now? Non-disabled person? ... I'm really sorry!"
Sayf says until recently he simply hadn't thought about the language of disability.
"But now I've arrived (in London to cover the Paralympic Games). And there are words I've never actually translated into Uzbek before. Now I know that those are the words I need to be using," he said.
Words like "non-disabled," which Sayf has translated into Uzbek as 'a person without limited abilities.'
But there's a problem with some of the words that the BBC says should be avoided. In certain countries, words like 'invalid' and 'handicapped' are still widely and benignly used, by government officials as well as the general public.
"In our language, it's still correct to use ... invalid," said Ukrainian journalist Andriy Kravets.
Ukraine's lexicon is evolving though.
"There is a saying — if I translate it into English — 'people with limited abilities,'" he said.
But what of places with disproportionately large numbers of disabled people, like Afghanistan? An estimated two million Afghans are disabled, most because of the decades of conflict there.
Tahir Qadiry with BBC Persian TV, which broadcasts in Afghanistan, says disdain for the disabled is reflected in the language. One widely-used expression translates as "person with a defect."
The news media use more respectful language, but Qadiry says it's not always that easy to come up with the right translation.
"I know it makes sense in English," he said. "But for us, especially in Persian when you translate it, it doesn't make sense,"
So sometimes, local journalists reject imported, translated solutions in favour of local ones.
Consider this Persian expression for blind: "Bright in the stomach." In English it sounds strange.
But in cultures where the stomach is considered a focal point of the body — almost like a second brain — it works well.

21 Day Fix Extreme Reviews
21 Day Fix Extreme from Autumn Calabrese is claimed to be a fitness and nutrition program that can help you get "competition shredded" in just three weeks.
About 21 Day Fix Extreme
Created by Autumn Calabrese, 21 Day Fix Extreme claims to take many of the workouts and nutrition details from the original version, and to make them "extreme" in order to help you get "super lean and defined in the shortest time possible."
After spending 3 weeks in the 21 Day Fix Extreme program, Autumn claims you'll achieve a shredded six pack, cut arms, ripped shoulders, and ultra-toned legs. In fact, Autumn claims that this is the exact program she uses when preparing for a competition or photo shoot.
In order to accomplish these results, the 21 Day Fix Extreme program contains seven 30-minute workouts spread across 2 DVDs, including:
- Plyo Fix Extreme – Uses jumping and resistance to provide an "explosive" lower body workout.
- Upper Fix Extreme – A no-rest upper body workout that's claimed to alternate opposing muscle groups for a shredded chest, back, shoulders, and arms.
- Pilates Fix Extreme – A whole-body workout performed on the floor using a resistance band.
- Lower Fix Extreme – Resistance exercises claimed to provide stronger, leaner, and more defined glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves.
- Cardio Fix Extreme – Elevates your heart rate (and keeps it there) using weighted cardio moves combined with traditional metabolic training.
- Yoga Fix Extreme – Combines strength, balance, flexibility, and power.
Each workout is intended to activate different muscle groups in order to keep your body guessing, and the included meal plans are claimed to provide "simple nutrition for serious results."
So, if you're looking to boost your (already good) fitness and achieve a lean, shredded body, should you purchase the 21 Day Fix Extreme program? Consider the following:
Who Might Benefit Most from 21 Day Fix Extreme?
As we noted above, 21 Day Fix Extreme contains very intense workouts, and is targeted at individuals who are already in good shape, but who might want to take their workouts to the next level and achieve the "competition body" they're after. In other words, if this is your first foray into working out, or if you're just getting back into exercising after a long time off, you'll almost certainly want to choose something other than 21 Day Fix Extreme.
Granted, there is a modifier for each workout contained in the program, although even the modifiers are intended for individuals with a baseline of fitness.
On top of this (as the name might imply), Autumn claims that, while 21 Day Fix Extreme can provide you with great results, you'll need to be very motivated in order to stick with it—from both a workout and a nutrition aspect. In fact, Autumn claims that "you'll be eating clean. No cheats, no treats, no excuses." As such, you might need to prepare mentally before beginning.
How is 21 Day Fix Extreme Different From the Original Program?
At its most basic, when compared to the original 21 Day Fix version, 21 Day Fix Extreme is claimed to feature more intense workouts and a stricter nutrition plan. In addition, the original program is claimed to help users lose up to 15 pounds in 21 days, while the Extreme program is focused more on cutting and toning than it is weight loss.
Granted, you might still lose weight with 21 Day Fix Extreme, but this will likely be much less than with the original.
Do You Need Any Additional Equipment with 21 Day Fix Extreme?
When undergoing the 21 Day Fix Extreme program, you'll need resistance bands and light, medium, and heavy dumbbells, as well as some kind of mat. None of these items are included with your purchase, so this can greatly add to your overall costs.
Also, you'll eat very specific foods during 21 Day Fix Extreme, which can also add to your overall grocery expenses. Hint: To get an idea of the foods you'll be eating while on the program, simply type the phrase "21 Day Fix Extreme meal plan" into your favorite search engine.
Are 21 Day Fix Customers Getting Ripped or Ripped Off?
For the most part, many of the online reviews for the 21 Day Fix Extreme program at the time of our research were from bloggers (most of whom are Beachbody Independent Coaches) who received advanced copies. Unsurprisingly, all of these bloggers gave 21 Day Fix Extreme glowing reviews.
However, we did locate 14 customer reviews for 21 Day Fix Extreme on Amazon, who gave the program an average rating of 3.5 stars. While some customers appeared pleased with the program and complimented its ability to provide visible results in a short amount of time, as well as its ease of use, some of the most common complaints cited lack of variety in the workouts, small container sizes, and damaged/defective DVDs.
From a company perspective, 21 Day Fix Extreme is manufactured by Beachbody, LLC based out of Santa Monica, CA, who also produces other popular workout programs such as P90X3, Brazil Butt Lift, and Focus T25. Beachbody holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (as of 3/18/15), despite having more than 270 closed complaints. Most of these appear to reference difficulty cancelling autoship supplements (more about this next) and problems processing refunds.
21 Day Fix Extreme Pricing & Refund Policy
21 Day Fix Extreme is priced at three monthly payments of $19.95 plus $12.95 S&H (other shipping options available at an additional charge), bringing your total to $72.80.
For this price, you'll receive the 2 workout DVDs, 7 color-coded portion control containers, and a Shakeology shaker cup, as well as a quick start guide and workout calendar. On top of this, you'll also receive the following 4 free bonus gifts:
- 21 Day Fix Extreme Eating Plan – All you have to do is follow the meal plans, recipes, and easy-to-make shakes to burn fat and carve muscle.
- Countdown to Competition – A "secret" meal plan that can help you lean out your body and make you look great.
- Dirty 30 Extreme Workout – Helps develop integrated strength and definition using "seven compound moves that target multiple muscle groups simultaneously."
- 24/7 Online Support – Gain access to 21 Day Fix Extreme's online program, in addition to fitness and nutrition tips and live chats with Autumn.
Important note: When checking out, you may be asked if you'd like to try out a nutritional supplement at a discounted price. If you accept this offer, you'll likely be enrolled in an autoship program, which means you'll continue receiving a regular supply of the supplement (generally once per month), and your credit card will be billed accordingly each time.
Like all Beachbody products, 21 Day Fix Extreme comes with a 30-day refund policy, less S&H charges. In order to initiate the refund process or to cancel your autoship enrollment, you'll need to contact customer service at 800-998-1681.
Can 21 Day Fix Extreme Give You the Results You Want?
Chopping to the Point: Overall, if you're already in fairly decent shape, it appears that the 21 Day Fix Extreme program can probably provide you with a leaner body and more shredded muscles in just 3 weeks. However, this will only occur if you give each workout everything you have, and also closely follow the nutrition program without sneaking in any "cheats."
With this said, 21 Day Fit Extreme is primarily about showing off your muscle definition by decreasing your body fat, not about helping you to lose weight. Because of these concerns, if you're just getting back into fitness, and/or your primary goal is to lose weight, 21 Day Fix Extreme probably isn't for you (instead, check out the original 21 Day Fix).

Agony and Ecstasy: Party Drug or Breakthrough Treatment for PTSD?
This interrupted case study explores the scientific, legal, and societal complexities of repurposing an illicit substance, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), also known as "Ecstasy" or "Molly," into a clinically accepted medicine for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Students first learn about the neuroanatomical basis for PTSD and its clinical distinction from anxiety and depression, and then critically evaluate the benefits and risks of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), sertraline (brand name Zoloft), in comparison with MDMA. The activity concludes with a panel discussion in which students assume the roles of various clinical and regulatory experts to recommend the best treatment option for the character described in the case narrative. Students will learn to identify benefits and risks of an approved medicine by reading its drug label and to critically evaluate human clinical data published in primary literature. This case has been used in undergraduate medicinal chemistry and neuropharmacology courses and is suitable for a variety of introductory undergraduate or graduate courses in psychology, biochemistry, pharmacy, public health, and biomedical sciences.

Royal Jelly encapsulated in liposomes
APIVITA has managed to transfer the potent ingredients of royal jelly "nature's most complete food" to the deepest levels of the skin's keratin layer. Encapsulated in liposomes and coated with phospholipids, royal jelly is transferred and diffused while maintaining its rich nourishing elements, like amino acids, vitamins, sugars and fatty acids, rejuvenating this way the skin from the inside. Moreover, the liposome - carrier is an exceptionally soothing and hydrating factor that enhances the skin's hydrolipidic protective film.
Natural Infusion Base
APIVITA replaces water with natural infusions that give its products mainly antioxidant attributes. Given that most cosmetics' water content exceeds 70%, APIVITA products are antioxidant-rich in their base. The effectiveness of the infusions selected in each case is proven through scientific methods. Their antioxidant action is measured through the DPPH method and their concentration in polyphenols through the Folin-Ciocalteau method. Over the past few years, APIVITA has been studying and using infusions from Greek medicinal plants and herbs with well-proven, exceptional antioxidant effects, such as the organic rosehip from Nymfaio of Florina selected for the QUEEN BEE line. Rosehip pseudo-fruit are a rich source of vitamin C, malic acid, anthocyanins, flavonoids and sugars; a percentage of these is transferred to the infusion, thus attributing to it strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing characteristics.
Patented Propolis Extraction
In 2013, APIVITA won an Innovation Award for the Patent of Propolis Extraction against Premature Aging (Patent No. 1007520), resulting from years of experience and the company's extensive know-how on apicultural products. For the first time, the potent substances of propolis are encapsulated in cyclodextrin in order to achieve the maximum and steady concentration of its flavonoids and polyphenols in the end product. With effectiveness verified by 8 clinical studies, this particularly powerful antioxidant and anti-aging extract moderates significantly the influence of free radicals, increases skin vitality and enhances the production of collagen and elastin.
Free of chemical elements that have been associated with negative effects on health and the environment.
Without: silicone, parabens, propylene glycol, paraffin oil, ethanolamine, phthalates, polycyclic musks and nitro musks
Silicones are compounds that are non-biodegradable and therefore cause significant harm to the aquifer, the seas and the environment. At APIVITA, instead of silicone, we use natural esters and plant oils that constitute the ideal skin treatment and also allow for the better absorption of the nourishing elements of the cream.

New research from the Food Standards Agency -- the U.K. equivalent of our own Food and Drug Administration -- indicates children who drink full-fat milk grow up slimmer than their peers raised drinking semi-skimmed milk.
As The Telegraph reports, Canadian research on more than 2,700 children found those given full-fat milk ended up years later with much lower BMIs than those given skimmed milk, contrary to years of FSA recommendations that young children switch to semi-skimmed milk to help limit fat consumption and curb obesity.
Those children who drank whole milk had a BMI score 0.72 units lower than those who drank 1-percent or 2-percent skimmed milk.
Those who drank full-fat milk also had higher levels of vitamin D. Children who drank one cup of whole-fat milk each day had vitamin D levels comparable to those who drank three times as much skimmed milk, the study found.
Why? It seems children who drank full-fat milk fuller, making them much less likely to fill up on high-calorie or fatty snacks.
"Children who drink lower fat milk don't have less body fat, and they also don't benefit from the higher vitamin D levels in whole milk. It's a double negative with low fat milk," said lead researcher Dr. Jonathon Maguire, a pediatrician with St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, in the report published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The study contradicts leading opinion on drinking skim milk, as old advice suggested that toddlers age 2 and above should be switched to semi-skinned milk to prevent obesity later in life. That is, however, no longer the case.

Four different spectator's groupings have the following rights:
rich spectators
Seat> roof> security> parking bay> (floodlight = announcement)
well-to-do spectators
(Seat, roof)> security> (floodlight = parking bay = announcement)
sparing spectators
Roof> (floodlight = parking bay = announcement)
poor spectators
Roof> announcement> floodlight
Hence, the removal of the security is recommended, provided that at least a roofed seat area exists. The rich spectators are more financially strong and are attracted by the security in the big measure. Indeed, the enlargement of the stadium infrastructur makes sense economically only from a least size of at least 10,000 places.
The further the stadium sphere is developed, the stadium for the spectators is the more attractively.
Every step, speak of from 1 to 3 is as expensive as from 0 to 3 or 2 to step 3! Here it can very make sense to develop immediately the highest step to save an amount of money!

About four years ago, Pastor Casey Franklin felt called to start a new faith community in the south Denver Metro area.
Casey is humbled and honored by this mission that comes ultimately from God Himself. The calling was to create a safe place for people to explore faith and doubt in the context of Christian community.
Originally from Minneapolis, Casey has been a Pastor for over 20 years serving in various capacities. As a published author, theologian, and raconteur, Casey loves reading, hockey, snow shoeing, mountain biking and writing.
Most importantly, he has a heart for those who are not interested in church, either because they never were, or have "dropped out" for one reason or another. Casey is married to Valerie who grew up in Colorado and loves photography, working out, and also loves leading worship. Their daughter Madison is an equestrian, actress, writer, and is now learning the guitar.
The Franklins have lived in the Highlands Ranch area for the last 13 years and love Colorado and this community. The movement of churches that we are apart of, the ECC, provides coaching, support and oversight until we are self-sustaining and are able to have our own Leadership Team in place. Until then, we are blessed to have a Core Team of committed leaders who provide leadership, support and encouragement.

This issue has variants.
This issue prompted Gail Simone to create a website called "Women in Refrigerators" highlighting how women are often "killed, maimed or depowered" in comics as a plot device. The term caught on and has passed into common usage both academically and in popular culture, usually referred to as "Women in Refrigerators Syndrome."

On his several-days-a-week walks to and from work in Ithaca, NY, Tom Knipe breathes in the scent of lavender plants during temperate months. Along his ¾-mile route between work and home, Knipe also spots creatures like otters, mink, turtles, ducks and heron. Or he stops to chat with friends and neighbors. During the winter, Knipe notices the "beautiful" changes in the ice patterns in Cascadilla Creek as the water freezes and thaws.
"I typically walk when the weather makes it uncomfortable or less practical to ride my bike. So, during the winter months when there is lots of snow on the ground, I tend to walk to work on average three out of five days a week," said Knipe, the tourism coordinator for Tompkins County, NY.
In Ithaca, a college town with about 30,000 residents in upstate New York's Finger Lakes region, Knipe is part of an army of walkers. Ithaca, the home of Cornell University and Ithaca College, ranks first among U.S. college towns for the percentage of workers who commute on foot, according to the U.S. Census Bureau analyzed by The SpareFoot Blog. It also leads the American Institute for Economic Research's list of the top college towns in the U.S.
More than 20,000 students attend Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.
"Most places in Ithaca you would ever need to go are within walking or biking distance, although sometimes you'll have to face some pretty nasty hills," according to Business Insider.
Like many of his Ithaca neighbors, Knipe realizes several benefits from hoofing it to and from work. Of course, a key benefit is exercise, along with stress reduction. A study published this year in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found that weekday physical activity was 45 percent higher for employees in southwest England who walked to work compared with those who commuted by car.
An additional benefit: Knipe and other on-foot commuters save money by buying less gas for their cars, and less driving helps reduce air pollution. But for Knipe, it goes deeper than that.
"When I walk, I embrace the whole environment as an experience to have as I'm getting from A to B. The journey actually calms me and makes me friendlier," Knipe said. "That feeling carries over into the office or into my home, so my co-workers and spouse and kids also probably benefit from my choice to walk."
Here is SpareFoot's list of the 12 college towns where a significant percentage of commuters benefit greatly from the choice to walk.

Part of the GCSE course is learning how to apply geographic skills to investigate something and then form conclusions.
Investigation skills in Geography can include a range of tools such as:
– Using ICT to complete research and find appropriate evidence
– Analysing graphs
– Interpreting and analysing maps (O.S. maps and satellite Google Earth maps)
– Using GIS
– Analysing images / video
– Literacy skills (synthesising your research into something useful to answer exam questions)
– Producing and analysing sketches
– Referring to evidence
It can be really tricky. But one way of thinking about any kind of skills investigation is to READ:
R – recognise the pattern (identify what is being shown, e.g. a map showing steep land)
E – explain what you see (use evidence, e.g. contour lines are close together)
A – analyse the information (is it reliable, can you compare it to other information, draw fact, e.g. contour lines are spaced 20metres apart and are very close together near the top of the hill and at the peak it reached 1058m)
D – describe your thinking (put into words everything you are thinking, link all the evidence together and describe it to link back to a point, e.g. I can tell that the land is steep in this area because the map shows that the contour lines are very close together. For example, at the base of the hill the land is only 20m high but the contour lines are then close together and rise up to a peak of 1058m at the summit.)
This is similar to using PEEL like you would for detailed answers: Point, Evidence, Explain, Link.
These methods will work for any kind of evidence really, and for any kind of question. So get in the habit and use those geographic skills to 'prove it'.

Banana republic
Jump to navigation Jump to search
A banana republic is a politically unstable country whose economy depends on the export of one product in limited supply, such as bananas or minerals. A banana republic has social classes that are divided by wealth. These include a large, poor working class and a small ruling class made up of the businessmen, politicians, and the military.[1] The ruling class controls and exploits the country's economy.[2]

text: The Class of 2018 bid their final farewell as students on the Macon East campus at Senior Send-off. Always a special day for the seniors and their families, the students enjoyed one last breakfast with Mrs. Vickie, followed by a slide show sure to bring a tear to every parents eyes, recognition of the honor graduates, and finally the traditional balloon release. Tyler Watson was named as the class Valedictorian, and Bryson O'Malley will address the class as Salutatorian. A number of students were honored to receive the 13+ pin to be worn over their heart at graduation. These students have attended MEA since Kindergarten or preschool. Several members of the graduating class have spent just one or two years at Macon East but have quickly learned what it means to be part of the Knights family. The eclectic Class of 2018 has succeeded in the classroom and in athletics. Earning over $4.8 million in academic and athletic scholarships, they have set a school record. They also earned 4 State Championship trophies this year in volleyball, boys basketball, softball, and baseball. It has been an honor for the staff and faculty of Macon East to teach, coach, and mentor each member of this class, and we wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

Recently, Gao Yuanji, an undergraduate majoring photoelectric information science and engineering from the School of Physics and Electronics, CSU, under the guidance of Professor Liu Yanping, published a paper titled "Valleytronics in Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Materials" in Nano Research(SCI zone 1, impact factor: 8.515) as a co-first author. This is another paper with high impact factor published by an undergraduate from the School of Physics and Electronics. Professor Liu Yanping is the corresponding author of this paper, and CSU is the first unit.
(Potential applications of new TMD materials in information devices such as information storage and quantum computers)
Valley degree of freedom in the first Brillouin zone of Bloch electrons offers an innovative approach to information storage and quantum computation. The emerging transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) materials naturally become the ideal candidates for valleytronics research attributable to their novel structural, photonic and electronic properties, especially the direct bandgap and broken inversion symmetry in the monolayer. However, the mechanism of inter-valley relaxation remains ambiguous and the complicated manipulation of valley predominantly incumbers the realization of valleytronic devices. In this review, through a systematical demonstration of the fundamental properties and tuning strategies (optical, electrical, magnetic and mechanical tuning) of valley degree of freedom, the author summarizes the recent progress of TMD-based valleytronic devices and highlights the conclusion of present challenges as well as the perspective on the further investigations in valleytronics. This work helps offer insights into the microscopic properties of valley excitons in TMD materials, and guides the research on valleytronics-based information storage and quantum computation devices.
(Gao Yuanji (left) and his supervisor, Liu Yanping (right) in the laboratory)
Gao Yuanji joined the Low-Dimensional Quantum Device Laboratory of Central South University in his sophomore year. Under the guidance of Professor Liu Yanping, he has carried out scientific research work, such as literature research and collection, formulation and implementation of research programs, data analysis and processing, and compilation of scientific and technological papers. In addition to the published paper, Gao Yuanji has another two SCI papers under review; it is highly possible that he could publish more than three high-quality papers before graduation. The relevant work for the published study is sponsored by National Natural Science Foundation of China, Hunan Provincial Key Research and Development Fund, CSU's Innovation-driven Plan and CSU's Youth Innovation Team Project.
Prof. Liu Yanping's research group focuses on the research of new information devices, covering two-dimensional material spintronics, valleytronics, and nano-optoelectronic devices. Advanced micro-nano processing technology and material modification means are combined with applied conditions (electric, magnetic, optic, thermal, mechanical, etc.) to study the physical effects of spin, energy valley, charge transport and topology concerning 2D materials, design and develop new quantum information prototype devices, and explore their application in the field of electronic information. This research arouses scientific interest among students to better serve the country's economic development and national defense modernization.

That's right, I said home-brew! I am fortunate enough to have a hubby who brews his own beer and mead. This recipe includes one of his home-brewed beers and I was very pleased with the flavor it provided. In the bitter cold of winter, nothing warms me up quite like a good stew.
Start by coating one pound or so of stew meat in seasoned flour. I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika. Whatever seasonings you want to include will work though.
Next, in batches, brown the meat over medium-high heat right in the dutch oven you will use to build the stew. The browned bits left behind will provide another layer of flavor.
Once browned, remove the stew meat to a paper towel lined plate to drain. This will make for a non-greasy stew.
While the stew meat is browning, prepare all of the aromatics. Peel ten cloves of garlic and leave whole. Rough chop two onions, two parsnips, two carrots and two celery stalks. I include the leaves from the celery stalks as well.
Once all of the stew meat is browned and resting, start sauteing the aromatics. Saute until they begin to get tender. At this point grate in the garlic using a microplane or garlic press.
While the aromatics are sauteing, chop four potatoes. I had some plain old russet potatoes on hand. Red potatoes would work nicely as well.
Once the aromatics are beginning to get tender, add the stew meat and potatoes in. Looks and smells fabulous already.
This is where the home-brew comes in. Of my choices in the pantry, I decided to use on of my hubby's Everyday IPAs. Everyday IPA is a moderately hoppy IPA. Perfect for in my stew. If you are not lucky enough to have a hubby who brews his own beer, twelve ounces of your favorite beer will work.
Pour the beer into the stew and stir well. Take a moment to admire the beautiful caramel color and the bubbles the beer brings to the stew. Be sure to scrap all the lovely brown bits off the bottom of the pot. They will add an incredible depth of flavor.
At this point, add in thirty-two ounces of beef stock, a handful of bay leaves, thyme leaves, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Turn the heat down to medium-low and allow the stew to simmer for several hours until the vegetables are all tender and the meat falls apart in your mouth. Stir occasionally.
After several hours of simmering, the stew will thicken considerably and become a beautiful deep brown. The house will smell amazing as well. This is how you know the stew is done.
This stew requires no accompaniments. It will fill you and warm you to the core all on its own.

A Year of Google Maps & Apple Maps
in Link on Google
A great analysis of incremental changes to the Google Maps UI, and exposition of the strategy behind it:
Quoted from A Year of Google Maps & Apple Maps — Justin O'Beirne:
And unlike Google's prior redesigns, there was no press event, no mention of it at Google I/O (just two months earlier), no public or private beta, no Fast Company puff piece, no advance warning of any kind. Just a short blog post… It almost seemed as if Google thought it wasn't a big change.
And it's only when we see how the map evolved over the next several months, that we realize what Google was really up to…

It is not clear when the first Windsor Chairs were made. There is speculation that the chair derives its name from the town of Windsor, which became the centre for the trade between the producers and the London dealers. English settlers introduced the Windsor chair to America, with the earliest known chairs being imported by Patrick Gordon who became lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania in 1726. There is speculation that the first American Windsor chair, based on the traditional British design, was made in Philadelphia in 1730.
The seat of a Windsor chair is an essential part since it provides the stability to both the upper and lower portions. The thickness of the seat allows the legs to be anchored securely into their respective tapered sockets, providing the undercarriage with strength and stability.
The legs are splayed at angles fore-and-aft (rake) as well as side-to-side (splay) to provide actual and visual support of the person sitting. Early chairs made in America usually have stretchers connecting the front and back legs and a cross stretcher connecting the two side stretchers, creating what is known as an "H" stretcher assembly. A common misconception about this assembly is that the stretchers hold the legs together in order to keep them from pulling apart. The stretcher system actually pushes the legs apart to retain the necessary tension which reduces slack.

There's a rarified club of white male singers -- think the Righteous Brothers, Harry Nilsson, John Lennon, Everly Brothers, Elvis. Guys who don't only have a virtuosic voice, but the ability to use it on the heartstrings and the desire to push it to their limits, reaching for the high notes like a tight-wire act. The Walkmen's Hamilton Leithauser belongs in this club, and he flaunted his membership card onstage at Sasquatch on Sunday afternoon.
During the New York City quintet's hour-long set, the muscles in Leithauser's neck looked permanently on the verge of straining. That's a good thing -- he was giving it his all. He was flexed, his arms cocked in his suit jacket; his entire body was invested in the long, skyward notes he unleashed on the horizon.
His instrument was in fine form. He could go from the tender, intimate moments that define their brand new album, Heaven, to the all-out wails on "In the New Year," from 2008's You & Me. The latter was undoubtedly the set highlight. The four-piece band -- lookin' sharp in suit jackets and button-up shirts -- layered in-and-out bass throbs, melodic key swells and tinny electric guitar. I've seen the Walkmen many times live, but this was their tightest performance yet (did I mention their drummer kills it, too?).
Leithauser tilted his head back, held the mic out front like a '60s Copacabana crooner, and let 'er rip. "The snow is still falling / And I'm almost home / I'll see you uuuuuuuu!!!"
Throughout the performance, I couldn't help but think of Nilsson, who, during the sessions for his 1974 album Pussy Cats, accepted producer John Lennon's challenge to see who could scream louder. They went for it, and Nilsson ruptured a vocal chord, coughing up blood. (Fittingly, the Walkmen released a track-for-track cover of the album in 2006).
I wonder how Leithauser would've fared against these two. Dude's pipes are in that stratosphere. On Sunday, Leithauser pushed his voice up and up and up and up and up. It was suspenseful; you didn't know if he'd make those high notes, but he always did. It was a triumph when the Walkmen closed their set with "The Rat," their 2004 breakout hit from Bows + Arrows. The crowd went wild and I realized that the Walkmen, that Leithauser, had been doing this for more than a decade. I hope the band gets the mainstream credit that always dodged Nilsson. They deserve it.

Salons and spas
Most of us don't automatically think green when it comes to getting our hair styled or indulging in a massage, but we should. Many beauty products are filled with hazardous chemicals, and many spas and salons don't embrace green measures like energy-efficiency and recycling. Still, some are heading in that direction. To find a spa that uses organic beauty products and maintains an eco-friendly facility, try Green Spa Network or Spa Index's Green Spa Guide. Note: there aren't any spa/salon eco-certifications, so be sure to check out all sustainability claims and ask plenty of questions.

Sometimes I will post poems on this page. Some old, some new, some previously published. They won't be here permanently.
MY Christmas Poem – 2016
By Christopher J. Jarmick
Every year the challenge for me
is to write a Christmas poem,
yet every year it's not to be;
call it Xmas block syndrome.
You know the kind of thing I mean,
where I start a joyous happy holiday poem,
remembering the past, the hearth, and home,
but find words instead featuring family dysfunction,
thoughts about jealousy , past grudges
and competitive derriere lip suction
Or rhymes be-moaning the Christmas gift hoarding 'black Friday' rush-
just slide you credit card
and watch riches flow and gush
until the payments become due
and you wish you told your giving spirit . . .
Stan Freeberg did his 'Green Christmas' thing
And that 'Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer
even I can sing,
but that's not the type of Christmas poem
I mean to write
when I try to write
MY Christmas poem
And it won't be a parody like
'Twas the Night Before Christmas
and though this election be done
the fall-out and tweets from Trump
are inspiring a Canadian run
MY Christmas Poem needs to say something nice;
remind us of the birth of Christ
and touch people's heartstrings
at least once or twice
My Christmas poem
should be so perfect
it will kick the one by
that fellow Moore
right out the yuletide door.
Yes MY Christmas poem will be beloved
And when it is recited
people will rise and stand
and say it loud and clear
all across our great land.
Oy !!!
There is just one
yes one little thing
I fear
about this Christmas poem
and that is
that I still won't have written
MY Christmas Poem
by this time next year.
Perhaps this serves as a Thanksgiving poem:
A Good Poem
By Christopher J. Jarmick
When the weight presses down
on my tiring bones
I smile,
open my arms
look into the sky
and shout:
"Let the good in."
Goodness is all round me.
all around you.
Nearly everyone I know
wants to be kind,
wants to do the right thing,
wants the world to be
full of love and fair;
but we stumble
we forget
we get angry
we get hurt
or worse.
Dark thoughts
absorb the light
become pervasive
like rain
on a tin roof.
Sadness spills out
in grays.
I seek distraction
no matter what the cost
forgetting it never lasts,
it won't work.
The stars dim,
the pilot light
The doors slam shut
I hear ghosts
mourning, moaning
I hear the voices
from the past-
"Give up!"
"You'll never amount to anything."
"You aren't any different
from anyone else!"
. . .a stabbing reflection of
bright sunlight:
"You aren't any different
from anyone else."
We are mostly the same
it is true,
but each one of us is
also unique.
I won't be the crab
pulled back down
into the pot.
I remember to
open my arms,
look into the sky
and shout:
"Let the good in."
Goodness is all round me
all around you. . . . . .
waiting for an invitation.
Nearly everyone I know
wants to be kind,
wants to do the right thing
wants the world to be
full of love and fair.
Let the good in.
Let the good in.
Let the good in.

Don Hoff Recognized as 2007 Teacher of the Year
Apr 26th, 2007 @ 1:02 pm | Author:
Jeremy Hulderman (left) presents Don Hoff (right) with the Teacher of the Year award
The Valley City State University (VCSU) Student Senate has recognized Assistant Professor Don Hoff as Teacher of the Year for 2007. The award is given annually to a professor who shows dedication to the students of VCSU through innovative teaching methods and continued professional development both inside and outside of the classroom.
The award was presented to Hoff by Jeremy Hulderman, Teacher of the Year Committee Chair. In his comments, Hulderman said, "Mr. Hoff is one of those rare breed of people that have that little something special it takes to lead, and to help learn. He is dedicated, and committed to his university, the students of it, and the craft of teaching the field of science at Valley City State University. He embodies all the great characteristics of a teacher, but he goes even beyond that. One of his students wrote, even though we are deep within a subject area, he is able to lighten the mood, and that helps bring everyone back to focus."
Professors are nominated by members of the student body, and the winner is elected by the Student Senate. Hoff is on the faculty in the Division of Math, Science, and Health & Physical Education. He has been with VCSU for five years teaching courses in Chemistry, Earth Science/Geology, and Science Teaching Methods, and supervising science student teachers.
Prior to joining VCSU, Hoff spent over 20 years as a secondary science teacher in North Dakota and the Marshall Islands, and spent one year working for NASA. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Dickinson State University, a Master of Science degree in Earth Science/Science Education from North Dakota State University, and has completed extensive postgraduate work.

Jin, from the group BTS, released a cover titled I Love You, as a surprise on his birthday. Let's look at why this was an excellent way to promote brand loyalty.
Honesty about strengths and weaknesses
The worst lie one can tell is the one they tell themselves. Be honest with yourself, even if it hurts.
Negative criticism comes in all forms. Deal with it.
I see valid negative criticism often passed off as trolling or "haters are gonna hate!" but the truth is, one can learn a lot from true negative criticism.
Is Your Hotel Room Really Clean?
Remember, not all hotel employees are like this. It is best to be safe than sorry and protect your technology and values. It disturbed me how she cleaned the room and used his tech things.
Having fun at work
Light-hearted fun can make a difference, when done appropriately, in keeping the workplace a more enjoyable place to be.
When you retire? Be real. Will you be able to retire?
Most do not sit down and figure how much would be needed to retire at the magical number they picked. Nor did they think about the decisions they make throwing off their plans…for decades.
Negative perceptions…and you
Sometimes, business owners forget how important perception is. When building your site or channel, try to place yourself in the shoes of your target audience.
Type of site vs. income possibilities
Many people do not have reasonable success because they've prohibited themselves from obtaining it through their actions.

George Lepp's Photographic Tips and Insights
Tuesday 10 April 2012 — Category: Miscellaneous
As I wrote a few days ago, I recently attended the semiannual Nature Photographers of the Pacific Northwest meeting — held this time around on the campus of Lewis & Clark College, just up the I-5 in Portland. The main speaker was George Lepp. He gave two presentations: "George Lepp's Innovative Approaches to Photographing Birds" and "From Snowflakes to Gigascapes: Maximizing the Creative Power of Today's DSLRs."
I was there in the third row, right in front of the podium, taking lots of notes on my iPad in a ClamCase. Rather than rewriting them into more sophisticated prose, I'm just going to leave them basically how they are, in the order they were written. Here goes....
MovingPhotos3D is an interesting piece of Mac software ... gotta check it out.
The morning presentation is "Whatever It Takes to Photograph Birds." Three main points:
As an aside — come to find out George used to live by Morro Bay, which is in my old neck of the woods. He showed a photo of a hawk at Montaña de Oro State Park.
Klamath Falls Winter Wings Festival — George will be speaking next year (2013). Check it out!
Put a good teleconverter on a good lens, otherwise you will have quality issues. Ultimately, you will be disappointed with a bad teleconverter on a good lens, or a good teleconverter on a bad lens.
Better Beamer for focusing a flash to a narrower angle — for use with a telephoto lens. See www.BirdsAsArt.com — $44 (includes shipping).
You can use fill-flash for better photos. Use flash to fill in shadows, or to freeze action. Lower power settings have a shorter flash duration. Flash together with ambient light is a nice combination, especially at dawn or dusk. Interesting effects when you use a flash with a slow shutter speed on fast moving objects. When using a lot of flash, you might need an external power pack for the flash.
Blinds (aka hides) are ideal for photographic birds. These multiple-flash and blinds solutions George is showing are getting a lot more sophisticated and complicated. You can also use your vehicle as a blind — it works pretty good.
Interaction between animals in a photograph takes your shots to a whole nother level.
Remember that making panoramas of a series of photos can be very nice, even for wildlife not in the far distance.
You can also possible combine more than one teleconverter by stacking them! There are quality issues though.
During one of his short photo presentations, George used this song as background music (it must have been an instrumental section, because there was no singing): A Better Life by Brought Low. It was great music, but I didn't realize there were lyrics. I guess I'll pass on it after all.
Hoodman HoodCrane for DSLR video — check it out. They also have a Hoodman HoodLoupe — be sure to watch the product videos.
Now George is making some comments about the competition winning photos. According to him, the two biggest problems with competition entries is over-sharpening and over-saturation — both issues which can cause a photo to look unnatural. Be careful!
This serves to confirm whhat I was feeling about some cloud photos I processed yesterday, which I was — I hate to admit — over-sharpening. I'm going to have to re-do those and back off on the sharpening this time. Fortunately there are only seven photos, so it won't be too much work. Check out the improved photos in the Albany Clouds 2012 photo album.
You can't apply what you don't know! You have to know what the post-production possibilities are BEFORE you go out and shoot!
Panoramas: make more use of it, for more than just wide landscape scenes. If you can, move your position when you take panorama photos, to avoid a distorted perspective. Make sure you have plenty of overlap to avoid problems — 50% overlap would be great.
You can also do multiple-image panoramas of macro shots. Move the object rather than the camera. You can get a lot more detail this way, and also a lot more of the object.
Helicon Focus software will let you composite photos with different areas of focus. From what George was sharing and showing, this is REALLY the way to go for awesome macro photography!
GigaPan software and EPIC Pro hardware for panoramas. You can even use this hardware for macro shots.
You can even do overlapping moving action shots, to have the same subject multiple times in the same panorama. Time and distance within the same photo. Example: running animal — high-speed shots while following the subject, then put it together. I wish he had a copy of these stunning photos on his Web site! You gotta see it to understand what he's talking about!
Auxillary incandescent lighting — also known as light painting. Long exposures with ambient, natural light, plus light painting are even nicer than photos with light painting only.
LED lights can be good for time-lapse photography, because they are cool and long lasting.
Canon Macro Twin Lite Flash puts lighting closer to the front of the lens, on the sides. This equipment is expensive and works only with Canon equipment. Need to research if there are similar (and hopefully cheaper) solutions for my Sony Alpha α77.
Zerene Stacker, Helicon Focus — both software that will let you stack images with different parts in focus, so that the whole image will be in focus. There's also Auto-Blend Layers in Adobe Photoshop. This stacking of multiple images is useful for macro, but you can use it for landscapes and other shots too. Especially useful for long focal lengths, which has shallow depth of field. George says, "It's a miracle!"
Small f-stops like f/22, f/32 have problems with defraction, which causes a loss of sharpness. So using this stacking software can solve that problem. Extended depth-of-field through focus stacking.
Using a flash is great for shooting butterflies, and other creatures that move.
Extension tubes are useful with both macro lenses and telephoto lenses, can help you focus closes, and give you a different perspective with macro lenses.
At higher magnifications (5x, 8x, 10x, etc., with special equipment), you have to use stacking software because of the almost non-existent depth-of-field. You start getting into the scientific realm at this point. You can use an old microscope stand stage, which allows you to raise or lower the subject in very small increments for multi-image, focus-stacking, macro photography.
For snowflake photography, you have to be in a temperature of around 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Camera mounted on a copy stand, using the microscope stage. Kenneth Libbrecht made books on snowflakes.
HDR should be used as a tool, not an effect! Set your camera for exposure braketing, maybe 1.5 stops over and 1.5 stops under. HDR software listed from more-capable/expensive to less-capable/cheaper: HDR Efex Pro by Nik, HDR Expose by Unified Color, Photomatix Pro by HDR Soft, Bracketeer by Pangea.
Photomatix Pro can take a single RAW image and process it three different ways, and then combine the three results into an HDR. Photoshop CS5 has an HDR Toning menu option.
Time-lapse — get an intervalometer and do it!! Use smallest resolution JPG setting, because you don't need high resolution RAW files, even for HD video! Apple's QuickTime Pro can put it all together if you don't have any video-editing software. Use at a balloon festival! (George had an amazing video of this! The video here is just as good, and it gives you an idea of what is possible.)
Use LED lights for time-lapse of flowers opening. Use Adobe Lightroom to batch process all your photos before combining into a video. Use Ken Burns effect to zoom into the photos while making the video.
Start your astronomic, stacked, time-lapse stills while it's still a bit light out, and continues as it gets darker. Then combine using "lighten" or "lighter color" blend modes in Photoshop, or use dedicated software like Stellar Magic Pro and others. This kind of blending works great for combining multiple lightning shots too.
For high-speed, many-shots-per-second photography, use low resolution JPGs to get maximum number of shots.
Learn by doing! Get out there and practice!
You can't apply techniques in post-production that you didn't incorporate at capture!
George makes most of his living, not off his photographs, but off the seminars he gives and books he writes, teaching others how to be better photographers. It's the same for many other professional photographers.
Well, that's the end of my notes. He really crammed a lot of information into three hours! Obviously I didn't write down everything — only what struck me as important. It's going to take me weeks and months to process all of this information and learn how to incorporate it into my everyday photography. I hope these notes inspire you too!

You Are a Magazine
You are flexible, laid back, and open to the world. You are a total novelty seeker, and you always appreciate new eye candy.
You are a natural daydreamer. If you had your way, you would live several lives at once.
You are very smart - but in more of a "street smart" than "book smart" sort of way.
Your mind just operates on a totally different plane. You are able to take in a lot more information than most people.

Japan should voice its support for Taiwan's plea for an active UN role in maintaining peace across the Taiwan Strait, a Taiwan official stationed in Tokyo said yesterday.
Chu Wen-ching (
In the letter, Chu said 13 of Taiwan's diplomatic allies sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Aug. 11 demanding that the UN pay more heed and play an active role in ensuring cross-strait peace.
Because of China's opposition, the proposal was not included in the agenda of the ongoing plenary session of the UN General Assembly that opened on Sept. 13.
Since Japan has voiced support for Taiwan in many fields, including Taiwan's bid to join the World Health Assembly -- the World Health Organization's governing body -- as an observer and listing the Taiwan Strait peace as one of the strategic objectives of the US-Japanese defense cooperation, Chu said he is hopeful that Japan can uphold this consistent stance and speak out for Taiwan's cause at the UN General Assembly general debate session.
Chu said Japan's explicit support is important for Taiwan and for regional peace and stability because China has stepped up its military threat against Taiwan.

My daughter was involved in a single car accident in which another parent was driving. I didn't know what to do. I contacted Don, and he was able to help put my mind at ease. My only concern was my daughter's medical bills, which have all been paid, and we even walked away with more than expected. His team helped set up medical treatment, as well as followed up with us often to make sure my daughter was doing well. I am very satisfied. If I ever need another attorney, I know where to go.
Personal Injury Client
Sarah was great!! I would highly recommend her. My husband and I own a restaurant and she helped us get our estate in order and explained everything to us through the process. I will definitely be using Sarah again in the future and recommending her to all my friends and family
Estate Planning Client
From the beginning of my case Don told me what to expect from my treatment to liability concerns. As my treatment neared completion he explained the factors affecting the value of my case including the pros and cons of going to trial. All of my medical bills were paid and he recovered much more than I expected.
Personal Injury Client
I cannot tell you how much Jess and Sarah have helped me through the years. I have hired many different types and specialties of attorney over the last twenty years I have been in business. Some have been great and some have been not so great, but none have been able to provide the value and service that they provide.
Dr. Gregory Samano
Business Client
Thank you for helping my son with his case! My son could not have been in better hands. You have done an outstanding job and I commend you for all the hard work and most of all because you cared! Our family could now move forward to a new beginning.
