"My heart leaps when I behold
A rainbow in the sky
So it was when my life began I
So it is now I am a man ….
The child is father of the man"
William Wordsworth.
Small beginning was made in 1992 by starting child care activities with four children in one part of the waiting gall of my consulting room.
Over a period of time, demand for our services increased. Simultaneously, constant co-ordination & consultation with peers of other disciplines enriched the conceptual base. Interactions with Neurologist, Orthopedic surgeon, occupational therapist, not only improved the knowledge base, but also brought about a great sense of fellowship which contributed in bringing about a cohesive team.
In 1998, family provided the roof and holistic child care centre was born. As we engaged with the circumstances, and respond positively to the demand of situation, bountiful nature reciprocates. In initial 3 years only, there was tremendous spurt n number of patients who called on us from diverse socio – economic and geographic areas.
Senior occupational therapist & special educator, Shri Dilip Kurani was helpful guide while Dr.Ashish Mehta, was a wonderful service oriented Neurosurgeon who played an excellent role as neurologist for our project. Simultaneously, Homoeopathic front also took up this novel challenge and prepared themselves to improve their knowledge base by proper CME.
Dr.Amit Daftary, Dr.Piyush Oza, took forward positions.
Moved by the plight of Autistic Children, team decided to take up challenging task of building up a centre for Autism, to provide everything under one roof. Though the roof was made up of elastic & asbestos, determination was iron hard!
Soon, we moved to the municipal school in spacious rooms with pleasant ambience. Team was enriched by various seniors joining the institute.
Holistic multidisciplinary approach did not remain confined to child care alone but application was made in the field of Rheumatology as well as HIV/AIDS. Later is a monstrous illness, a real challenge of the new millennium. Homoeopathy has proved itself not only as an immune modulator but also as a great soothing agent for emotionally torn individuals.
Launching of comprehensive mobile clinic project is an important milestone in the history of Spandan. We came face to face with naked realities which confront our fellow individual residing in slums. Since then our projects have really achieved holistic dimension as doctors, teachers and therapists became grass root workers. Poverty has its own impact in HIV as well as child care. How do we expect a hungry child to learn anything? Nobel laurette Amartya Sen has observed "The world's largest population of under nourished children is in our country – India." We have more than 300 million children in the country, figure that exceeds a total population count of most countries in the world. There is largest number of street children – 18million in India. Because of various socio – cultural, economic factors, illiteracy, faculty parenting etc., mental health dysfunction is rampant among children. It is imperative for clinicians and educators to step out from their comfortable four chambers and interact with the child & child's world through holistic perspective. There is a long story of deprivation, abuse and excesses which has inflicted trauma to the tender psycho.
" …. Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
And with some sweet oblivious antidote
Cleanse the stuff'd boson of that perilous staff which
Weighs upon the heart…."
We have come so far because of intense dedication of team members of Spandan. Apart from this there is an overwhelming response from community.
Phenomenal growth has been possible because of following factors:
First among them are the clients whom are cater, parents whose children we cater – have become a part of or organization. Next, leaders of the community and fellow NGOs, Rotary club, Lions Club, Mumbadevi Mandir Charities. Such constant collaboration with them had magic impact.
Third, various agencies of the state like MDACS, BMC , AYUSH. They have not only recognized us by merit but actively collaborated & supported our projects. Last but not the least important are our patrons & donors who have always put faith in us and generously donated to move forward our projects.
With all these positive experiences, team is quite enthused now to take up large project of building a comprehensive Mother – Child hospital at Deonar.
Project has multiple dimensions as it will be able to meet growing need of children in a holistic way. Project will cover entire range from Neonates to adolescent. It will also establish state of art integrated institute for spastics, Down syndicate, Autism & mental health dysfunction.
In fact in Autism, we are equipped with very rich experiences and we have rehabilitated number of Autistic children in mainstream school. Well equipped with rich experience of handling more than 100 autistic children and dedicated competent team, advanced infrastructure will give tremendous momentum to the operation: Holistic hearing!
We have seen that how in this sinister disorder autism, there is a fatal impact on imaginations & affections of tender, innocent child. Holistic approach of Spandan is effective in restoring both these components. Smile returns on the distressed parents & what spreads around is simply LOVE, …… An absolutely incessant flow as are beloved Poet Late Shri Harivanshrai Bachan rightly mentions in his madhushala
भावुकता अंगूर लता से खींच कल्पना की हाला
कवी साकी बन कर आया हे लेकर कविता का प्याला
कोई न कण भर खली होगा लाख पिये दो लाख पिये,
पाठक गण हे पिने वाले पुस्तक मेरी मधुशाला

You may also want to look at the following options and alternatives:
Avionteq offers both new and refurbished or used Viavi / Aeroflex RD-300 Weather Radar test set for sale or rent at most competitive price. All refurbished equipment are thoroughly tested and come with our warranty and fresh calibration certificate (when required). You can also sell your excess / surplus Viavi / Aeroflex RD-300 or receive trade-in credit towards purchase of other test equipment.
The Aeroflex / IFR RD-300 avionics test equipment is a bench tester which is meant for precise simulator-tester of aircraft weather radar instruments. The RD-300, in conjunction with the oscilloscope, can perform just about all routine radar testing. Since the RD-300 is related to the unit under-test throughout only 1 calibrated coaxial cable, there's no need to redesign the avionics test equipment to estimate various parameters.
The RD-300 features a signal generator system which in turn by design obtains and monitors the magnetron frequency to eliminate regular retuning of the signal generator to make up for magnetron or signal generator drift. The signal generator is modulated to duplicate storm cell echoes in several modes, as well as Contour Mode. Contour Mode is made for fast calibration and checkout of contour threshold circuits. The range delay of these virtual storm cell echoes is established in microseconds or nautical miles. Multiple returns can be achieved to ensure and regulate the radar range ring display. An auxiliary modulation mode creates narrow, short range pulses for testing multimode radars.
The magnetron state and spectrum features could be confirmed by way of the detector and disciminator outputs. Peak power values are attainable with a full scale sensitivity of 12 kW (or 120 kW peaks with the external 10 dB attenuator). The IF Signal Generator covers from 20 to 70 MHz and can be swept. The two-Volt-rms optimum output could be use for high level IF or AFC testing. Bandwidths and center frequencies are computed by the Marker Frequency Generator for the duration of swept IF tests. The RD-300 boasts antenna simulator output, which enables the display assembly to be swept at a unequal rate.

Points To Note On Trade Schools And Vocational Schools
Nowadays the popularity of trade and vocational schools are rising in popularity as so many students are interested in enrolling in this type of schools. The main difference between a vocational school and universities is that vocational schools focus on the important parts of the course and that is why the course only takes around two years. They differ a lot from colleges as students study for about four years on many things and most of them are not even that important in their career.
One of the advantages of joining a vocational school is that you learn so many things which will push you ahead in your career as you will have acquired so many skills. The best thing about these courses is that someone learnt so many things within that short duration of time, and at the same time you also have to go for an internship so that you can gain more skills and also put in2action what you have been learning for the years that you have been in the Vocational School. Long time ago people had the mentality that vocational schools world for failures and anyone who joined the school's had failed in their SATs. The best thing about this type of schools is that people are taught highly skilled labor which is so much demand nowadays compared to office work.
One thing that you need to Intercoast Colleges know that there are so many skilled labor jobs and this other courses that vocational schools offer and the best thing is that if your future you don't want to be employed you can choose to start your own business when you have acquired enough experience and gathered lots of skills in that field. It is quite disappointing because not everyone who graduates ends up getting a job and the numbers of people who are unemployed are increasing at a very fast rate. If you have already earned your degree and you have InterCoast stayed at home for a very long time you should think about changing your career, this decision is something that you won't regret, and if you choose to join a vocational training you definitely benefit a lot from this decision in future. There are a intercoast college reviews couple of requirements that she needs to qualify before you can join the school, for example, you have to at least have a high school diploma. If you have the interest in joining such a school ensure that you a do a little bit of research so that you can be able to know if there is any vocational school that is near where you stay.

ImunifyAV for please is managed as a common Plesk extension. It could be removed from Extensions -> My Extensions -> Remove
ImunifyAV for please is managed as a common Plesk extension. It could be removed from Extensions -> My Extensions -> Remove
This topic explains how to resolve the issue with one-click automatic cleanup in 2.0-x version.
When administrator of server purchased the license and tries to cleanup malware within 24 hours since the purchase it gets "Failed to remove malware…".
Background process is restarted every 24 hours and updates the license information on restart. So until restart it will keep old license type.
Administrator needs to restart the background process. There're several ways to do this:
kill -9 `ps aux | grep 'ra_exec' | awk {'print$2'}`
All these actions will restart the background process of antivirus and reload the license.
This issue will be fixed in the upcoming release. We're already working on it.
ImunifyAV works as a regular antivirus: it looks for the malicious piece of code in the files of a website while scanning and shows infected files in the report when the scanning finishes. If the user selects to cleanup malware, then the antivirus either removes a piece of malicious injection in the file or removes the entire file depending of the detected threat.
If the entire file is a web-shell or doorway or some other type of malicious file, then antivirus removes it entirely. If there's only a small injection at the beginning or at the end, or somewhere in the middle of the file, the exact malicious piece of code will be removed, but the rest content is left unchanged. Generally, the antivirus removes the malware and keeps a website up and running.
There's an option in the settings which defines whether the file is to be removed or just truncated (content of the file is completely removed but the file itself is left on the file system empty and has zero file length).
The truncation is safer than removal because if the file is included in a database template or some other system file or a config file then the website might become broken after a cleanup. Therefore the antivirus uses a safer cleanup by default to keep website working properly all the time. But one can disable this option in the Settings so the antivirus will remove the file completely in case the entire file is malware.
If you've experiencing some unusual behavior or faced with issues we appreciate if you could provide details on the issue for analysis to [email protected]:
Open plesk config file /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini and add the following lines
[log] filter.priority=7
It may look like this:
If you do not have the file /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini, just create empty one and add the lines as described above.
After that reproduce the issue and send us packed (zipped) log located at /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/panel.log
If you have huge log (greater than 50Mb), you can obtain the last 15000 lines using the command
tail -15000 /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/panel.log > debug_log.txt
then just zip the file debug_log.txt and send us the debug_log.zip file.
After that remove the lines from plesk.ini
[log] filter.priority=7
or change the value to default one (usually – filter.priority=3).
Once you have payed for the Premium version of antivirus in Plesk Extension directory you receive a confirmation mail with details and activation link. If you have already followed those steps and still have not got the Premium version try manual activation:
2. Click the Retrieve Keys
3. You see the screen like below
4. Ensure that you have a license for ext-revisium-antivirus under "Additional License Keys" tab
5. Congrats! Now you are ready to experience Premium version of the ImunifyAV (ex. Revisium Antivirus). Check the About tab to ensure that the Premium version is enabled.
In case of any issues with purchasing or activating extension contact Plesk Support at [email protected].
ImunifyAV (ex. Revisium Antivirus) is a comprehensive malware detection and removal tool. Website protection is not a part of the antivirus.
ImunifyAV can effectively detect any type of website malware and remove it automatically using "one-click" cleanup, but it does not provide a proactive protection from future hacks and web-attacks. Therefore we strongly recommend to "harden" your websites after malware removal:
Or order a professional website security service at Revisium.com which includes:
Request the service at revisium.com.
If you purchased the license for Premium version and cannot activate the key, check this section.
When you click the "Scan" button it doesn't start immediately, it queues the task to scan the website. You should see "Queued" status in the line. Once the server resources are available it starts scanning and displaying a progress.
Check the Malware Removal report to see the details. There might be the following reasons:
Scheduled re-scanning of files starts at specified time only if it's been more than 24 hours since last website scanning. So if you would not scan it manually it will be checked the day after.
Order of websites scanning depends on two things:
For your convenience we would recommend sorting the table by "State" column. Just click it to reorder.
Please, follow the steps to gather information for analysis and send it to us.
The screen below explains controls on the "Domain" tab
Current version of the Antivirus check files in website folders but does not scan database or website pages so we'd also recommend checking websites using free online scanner – ReScan.Pro. It will detect security issues which the Revisium Antivirus cannot detect.
If you suspect the fact of server compromise we recommend to do the following steps immediately:
Or just order professional server security analysis and malware clean up service at Revisium.
We do our best to keep the Antivirus database frequently updated and complete in order to detect as much threats as possible. But still there might be a small chance that some of newly released malicous files are not yet in the database. Or there might be also another drawbacks:
If you found a malicious file which has not been detected by antivirus, please send it to us via https://drop.revisium.com
In the "Settings" tab you can enable auto-update option of the Antivirus databases.
Another way for quick-update of the A/V databases is to open the "About" tab and click the "Update Databases".
Also we recommend for server admins checking the ImunifyAV extension for a newer version just to keep the core files up-to-date.
The Antivirus scanning performance mostly depends on server performance. But the default configuration of the Antivirus may not be optimal so we would recommend server admins to adust the default settings for better performance. Just open the "Settings" tab and check the current parameters.
Strong recommendation for server admins managing servers with 4 or more number of CPU cores or lots of websites installed to change the "Max working threads".
As the opposite if you feel that the Antivirus consumes lots of server resources just decrease the parameters "Max working threads" and "Max allocated memory…".
There's small chance that you may face with so-called "false-positives" while scanning the websites for malware i.e. when antivirus software marks a legitimate file as malicious because the file may contain some specific piece of code previously noticed in malware.
Just send us the file and we will include it into the exceptions list of the Antivirus so it will never show up in the report after the antivirus update.
If antivirus has detected a file which is not malicious, please report a "false-positive" via https://drop.revisium.com (e.g. send the file via this service)
First of all – keep calm and check the detailed report.
Click the "View Report" button next to the "red" mark and check the list of detected malware.
Depending on your expertise and experience in web development you may resolve it in different ways. Check the options below.
So try automatic one-button malware cleanup in the Premium version of the ImunifyAV.
It is good to hear that everything in the report has "green" status.
Just follow the recommendations on websites security to keep them safe and secured. And do not forget to re-scan your websites on a regular basis.
If you are server admin we recommend to schedule re-scanning in the "Settings" tab so the Antivirus will be checking websites for malware automatically with selected interval. This option is available in the Premium version of the extension.
In order to scan your websites for malware using the ImunifyAV all you need is to click the "ImunifyAV" icothe n under particular domain and then click the "Scan" button.
When you click the "Scan" button the Antivirus queues a scanning task and runs it when server resources are available (it may start immediately or with some delay). The resources are configured by server admin so there might be a queue for the scanning process. The queue lets all users checking their websites on demand without server overload. Thus if you see "Queued" in the status column – everything is OK, scanning will start as soon as the resources are available or another scanning is finished.
Upon completion check the status. If the report shows a green icon, congrats, it usually means your website is not compromised and clean.
If you've noticed some "red alerts" next to the domain most likely it means the particular website is compromised and infected. Click the "View Report" button and see the details.
If you see some "orange alerts" next to the domain and "Domain blacklisted" notice it means the domain is blacklisted in either search engines or antivirus services. Click the "View Report" button to see blacklist status details.
Watch the quick demo on how it works:
In order to scan your websites for malware using the Revisium Antivirus all you need is to install the extension from Plesk Marketplace, open the "Domains" tab and click the "Scan All".
It will queue tasks to scan a complete list of websites for viruses, backdoors, web-shells, hacker's scripts, phishing pages and other malware and run the process of websites scanning depending on specified number of concurrent scanning threads (1, 2 or 4) in the Settings tab. Also it will check each domain for blacklist status in search engines and antivirus services.
Another option is to click the "Scan" button next to the particular website to check the single website for malware and blacklist status.
In order to prevent server resources overload during scanning a set of websites the antivirus extension queues the scanning tasks and runs them with respect to the configured resources limitations ("Max working threads" in the Settings tab).
Take into consideration that default settings may not be optimal in terms of scanning speed so we would recommend to check the "Settings" tab before start and adjust the following parameters manually to set optimal values for better performance (or less server load).
Notice: the "max working threads" is limited by a half of CPU core number on server. So the 1 or 2 CPU cores gives one working thread as maximum.
When the scanning process is finished check infection statuses of your websites. If everything in the report is green, congrats! It usually means your websites are neither compromised nor infected and blacklisted.
If you've noticed some "red alerts" next to the domain most likely it means the particular website is compromised and infected. Click the "View Report" button and see the details.
If you see some "orange alerts" next to the domain and "Domain blacklisted" notice it means the domain is blacklisted in either search engines or antivirus services. Click the "View Report" button to see blacklist status details.
The detailed report shows you the list of detected malware and domain blacklist status.
In the Premium version of the Antivirus you can clean the malware automatically using "Clean Malware" button.
Watch the quick demo on how it works and then try it on your own.

Ehrlichs anaemia
From Biology-Online Dictionary | Biology-Online Dictionary
Revision as of 21:16, 3 October 2005 by disabled>WikiConvertor
Ehrlichs anaemia --> aplastic anaemia
(Science: haematology) this form of anaemia occurs when the bone marrow ceases sufficient red and white blood cell production. It may be induced by exposures to high levels of toxic chemicals, radiation and certain drugs.
It is generally unresponsive to specific therapy, often accompanied by granulocytopenia and thrombocytopenia, in which the bone marrow may not necessarily be hypocellular or hypoplastic but fails to produce adequate numbers of peripheral blood elements. The term actually is all inclusive and most probably encompasses several clinical syndromes.

About this book
This book discusses mathematical models for various applications in economics, with a focus on non-linear dynamics. Based on the author's over 50 years of active work in the field, the book has been inspired by models from the period between 1920 and 1950. Following a brief introduction to economics for mathematicians and other modelers, it assembles a repository of useful specific functions for global dynamic modeling. Furthermore, twelve "research stubs" – outlined research agendas that have not yet been fully worked on – are suggested for further study and could even be expanded to entire research projects. The book is a valuable resource, particularly for young scientists who are skilled in mathematical and computational techniques and are looking for applications in economics.

The U.S.-based National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) announced in early 2017 that it will fund four artificial pancreas systems' projects. The first artificial pancreas has been approved in 2016 by the FDA but it still requires patients to adjust insulin intakes.
What the NIDDK is testing here are fully automated systems. Not only will artificial pancreas measure blood glucose levels automatically, but they will also be able to provide autonomously insulin or a combination of insulin and a second hormone.
The four trials will be conducted in 2017 and 2018 not only in the U.S. but also in France, Holland, Italy, Germany, Israel and Slovenia.

Soundtrack - Crystal Castles (III), Cults (Cults), Dark Dark Dark (Who Needs Who), Doug Burr (O Ye Devastator)
Piece(s) worked on - Ahmad; Sam
I've really given myself some liberty with this piece. The textures alone are a bit of a departure from my typical style. I can't even tell you how much fun I had painting this shirt.... Although, while abstracting can be more loose and "easy," it presents a whole new slew of formal challenges. I got to a point tonight where I am happy - nay - excited about it. Uh-huh.
|Glare...oh how I loathe thee...
|I'm really loving this bit up close
Sam is a lovely lady whose portrait I started tonight. Her space was quickly decided upon as a specific bench on the shore of a her neighborhood lake. We went there together, and got plenty of reference photos, people watched, etc. Then, as we got back to her apartment, she nestled in between the couch cushions and said this was also her space. The effect this posture and environment had on Sam was immediate. She was at ease. It's a lot of pressure to have someone examining your every move and documenting it, which is why there's usually an element of discomfort in these portraits. It was clear that this space truly belongs to Sam.

Strickland plays charades with voters and hides behind the guise of phony company
From the time he began his career in politics at age 24, Tony Strickland's only business experience has been the business of politics.
In 2007, Ventura County voters cried foul when Strickland opted to list himself as an "Alternative Energy Executive" on the ballot for State Senate, a description environmental groups called "a complete scam," a shallow attempt by a career politician to wear a businessman's clothes. (Ventura County Star, April 23, 2008)
The description of "Executive" is even more farcical because public records reveal that Strickland has not reported receiving income from any company besides his own lobbying firm since 2007, the year he states he helped co-found GreenWave, LLC. (Statement of Economic Interest, California Fair Political Practices Commission, Schedule A-2, 2007-2010)
Despite running on his role as Vice President of an "alternative energy corporation," when pushed, Strickland says his role in the company is merely "advisory" or "strategic." Furthermore, none of the other employees appear to have any discernable job descriptions, either, beyond one employee listed as an engineer.
Upon closer inspection, this "engineer" is in fact a consultant who helps companies apply for applications such as the one GreenWave submitted to FERC, exactly the skill set Strickland and his friends needed to pull off their deception. (Bill Bustamante, Partner, Applications Development Ventures) The other three co-founders' actual careers are as big shot lawyers and wealthy area real estate executives, some of whom have been aided by or donated to Strickland in the past.
The two listed "volunteer" staff members were actually chief of staff to Audra Strickland and campaign manager for Tony Strickland, both have been promised political favors. (Ventura County Star, April 23, 2008) The only recognition the company has received came in the form of an award from another regular donor, the United Chamber of Commerce, an organization with a clear interest in electing someone with Strickland's extremist anti-tax policies, and one happy to provide political cover for Strickland's tall tale enterprise.
"The truth is: Tony Strickland has never held a job outside of wheel-and-deal Sacramento politics, where he has consistently voted to support massive tax cuts for big businesses instead of protecting the jobs and paychecks of everyday workers. Can California trust someone with our state's checkbook who cannot control his tendency to mislead voters? I think not," said Eric C. Bauman, Chair of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party.

Open offices have been identical with suppleness, communication and collaboration. However, they are slowly losing their purpose and possibly the very thing they intended to accomplish, especially due to ever increasing complaints from employees about noise and clutter.

Some told that 25 to 35 percent employees face the concentration problem.

In the early 1980s, there was a lot of talk about The Walt Disney Company being on its last legs. Most of this talk came from inside the company. Managers who'd been there 20 years or more were convinced that the Disney organization was going to fall apart on their Mickey Mouse watch.
Nearly every day there was a new rumor inside the company about its imminent demise. Six Flags was going to buy the theme parks. Irwin 'The Liquidator' Jacobs was mounting a takeover with the intention of breaking up the company. The demographic had aged. The Black Cauldron would be the last animated film, ever. The films couldn't make a profit because there weren't enough people in the 'Disney demo.' Don Bluth raided the Animation division of many of its most talented young animators and started his own studio. The live action films had turned into an industry joke, making films like The Unidentified Flying Oddball, Condorman and The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again. The Wonderful World of Disney was no longer must-see on Sunday night TV.
The company's founding brothers and guiding lights, Walt Disney and Roy O. Disney, had been gone for over a decade. The organizational narrative of Disney seemed to many of its employees to be in a death spiral.
The story turned around, of course, a long time ago. Today they're huge and omnipresent–flush with cash and channel value, stocked with big-libraried brands like Marvel and Star Wars, a new theme park opening this summer in Shanghai, animated features by Disney and Pixar setting record after box office record, the Disney Channel a tween dream factory–the Mouse owns.
What's not ludicrous today is that a company would find itsself in a down-spiral like Disney did in 1984. Happens all the time. The phenomenon is huge and omnipresent.
A classic managerial analysis will naturally point to Manager-Heroes as being responsible for the turn in Disney's story. And it's true, there were definitely heroic characters in the new management lineup that took over in the mid 1980s, when the turnaround began. People like Michael ("If it's not growing it's dying") Eisner, Frank ("Climb every mountain") Wells and Jeffrey ("If you don't come in to work on Saturday, don't bother showing up on Sunday") Katzenberg got things moving in a big way. It went from a studio where no one took the stairs to a studio where people ran stairs two at a time. Those guys re-animated a sleeping giant.
What surprised those guys was how big the sleeping giant was. How much unrequited love was already in the marketplace, and in young Hollywood, too, for the Disney brand. How talented the upcoming Disney artists were. How ready for Prime Time they were. So many Geniuses in Waiting.
Here's the big learning from this story: It's their surprise at what they discovered inside the Disney organization. The Eisner-Wells-Katzenberg team, able managers though they were, tapped into something that was already there.
Something was already there. In place. Waiting for its time to come.
Your focus as an organizational storyteller is on what's already there but is currently hidden–maybe even hidden by an outlook as downbeat as Disney's was back in the early 1980s.
There's no formula for these turns in the organizational narrative. Each scenario is different, and calls for different mechanisms to enact the change. What we can tell you is that the conditions for such a turn always involve failure and forgiveness. You must make space to fail. And you must forgive failures. Not every space can be open to failure. And some failures can't be forgiven. But it's in our capacity to celebrate failures that we learn, and break through creatively. Success is always adjacent to failure. And it's in in our capacity to forgive that we grow together, and touch hearts. After that, the economic growth, while not inevitable, gets much better odds of happening. Fast. And for a long time to come.

Type 1 diabetes research and the EU
It is difficult at this time for anyone to draw any solid conclusion about the impact of leaving the EU on the UK's research landscape
For those seeking more information on the role of EU funding on UK research, the Royal Society has produced a report 'UK research and the European Union: the role of the EU in funding UK research', and the Campaign for Science and Engineering has produced a report 'The role of European Union membership in UK science and engineering research'.
The JDRF global network, which includes JDRF in the US, JDRF staff in France, JDRF UK and two other European affiliates, works within the European research funding strategy to support type 1 researchers in accessing funding.
Regardless of the UK's decision to leave the EU, JDRF's global network will continue to champion type 1 diabetes research and to seek to develop new funding programmes for type 1 diabetes researchers within and outside of the EU.

Law & Order: SVU is one particular of the ideal crime dramas that has ever appeared on tv. Two of its other law schools, Charlotte School of Law and Arizona Summit Law School, have been offered a zone" rating by the Department of Education, which implies the schools were close to not meeting gainful employment requirements, and have to pass the gainful employment common in one of the next 4 years to keep in great standing.
In the shared governance peak of my law college we had all types of odd programs that look much more designed to please individual faculty than to actually advance the interests of shareholders – students, taxpayers, the public. Then, there was the news that Pace Law was forcing professors" to take pay cuts, in order to save cash on a tuition-matching program. These are folks who know about the legal profession, and who draw upon actual data collected from actual firms. Yes, component of our existing issue is law itself, large vague laws, and politicized and arbitrary prosecutions. Searching forward, we have current and troubling evidence that law schools could still be routinely publishing substantially misleading graduate employment information on their web sites. Lately, nevertheless, some law schools have taken transfer students with two years of credit.
In attractive an ABA disclosure order, the college commissioned a market place study that connected its own misleading statements regarding the top quality of its educational item with reasonable reliance on the component of its intended audience of prospective and enrolled students. This double degree combines an revolutionary legal education with a practical insight into the quickly evolving media industry. SVU broke out of the sexual assault monotony with an episode about a child abduction.

Regret is a natural feeling, after all who never feels remorse? Poetry is a helpful way to take these negative feelings and to try and construct something positive with them. We don't suggest some type of flimsy optimism, but rather that poems about regret can give us a handle on what we are feeling, and thus help us cope with it. All poesy need not be positive, there's room for bitter ballads and rhymes of repent. We encourage people to explore these feelings via verse free of the need to try and say something fatuously optimistic. What we search for in our writings should be truth, and this should be our guiding principle where ever it leads us.
Our own poems here about regret are original, and you will find them only on Shadow of Iris.
No Regrets, a poem
by Isabel Tolling
He liked a mild smoke
only he didn't like filters
so he smoked chesterfields.
He died at fifty of lung cancer
but he didn't have any regrets;
only his family did.
That Time You Left Me, a poem
by Amanda Lynn
The hallway leans into a slant
as I slide into your wet kisses
that mean even more now
than they did then.
Prisons don't always have bars—
There's security in the crowd,
and anonymity in mediocrity—
fear of regret keeps us bound.
The writing on the wall was there
only we never bothered to read it.
The truth hurt.
Resistance was hard.
In my dreams I always walk away
from you. I leave it all behind—
I want to be free of this pain.
Then I wake up.
I find I'm still there,
wondering about your wet kisses
and where did you go
that time you left me.
Fall, a poem
by Emma Blue
A door way hangs open
into complete blackness.
It's at the end of a stairway
thats rise up from a pool
empty of everything
except for the regret
you still feel
from that time years ago
when you fell.
A Pink Flux, a poem
by Marya Ophir
Deductive disciplines
lead me nowhere.
Past images hover about me,
and they call my name—
this is ambivalent fairy life
from yesterday's world
now lost in today's regrets.
I see the fading form of your image.
I watch it disappear as if
you were never there.
I try my hand
at an ambiguous poem,
but the words don't come out right—
All that comes to mind
are stark solids—
I must be in a orange fug, a blue funk,
a pink flux …
My friends try to reason me out of it
but naturally the subject matter
is a heavy weight
that sinks me farther in.
I am confined
into the inevitable consequences
of lives past and now gone.
Sweetest love I'll not forget thee
Time shall only teach my heart
Fonder, warmer to regret thee,
Lovely, gentle as thou art.
— Thomas Moore
We hope that indeed these poems about regret help you come to terms with your own feelings in a constructive manner. If you feel regret or remorse yourself, we want to encourage you to explore these feelings in poetry.
Finally, we have to inform you, that you might regret it if you don't go to the sidebar now and follows Shadow of Iris. After all you don't want to miss our next poem!

On June 28, we received a letter from Lincoln C. Chen, Chairman of the China Medical Board (CMB), saying that the proposal to the CMB Global Health Program for the project "Global Collaboration to Improve Patient Safety Management in Zimbabwe and Sierra Leone" led by Professor Chen Xiang with our university was approved after expert review by the CMB Board of Directors and hereby granted with a fund of USD 200,000. The project implementation period is from July 2018 to June 2021.
In October 2017, CMB invited certain CMB-sponsored universities and designated universities and health institutions in China to bid for "China and Global Health--Building Capacity for Overseas Work". Totally 18 universities (institutions) including Peking University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention were invited. CMB received a total of 25 applications. After evaluation by experts, 3 projects were finallyapproved to be funded by CMB.
This bidding was based on China's global health strategyobjectives("Beijing Communique", "The Belt and Road" and "The Silk Road of Health" High-Class Seminar, August 2017), aiming to equip Chinese young scholars with working experience in African or other Asian countries and according competence; with such cooperation in talent cultivation with overseas universities and relevant institutions in low-income countries for global health, Chinese medical colleges/health institutions will be enhanced in the overseas working capacities and young teachers, academics, students and health workers for global health in medical and public health fields of China could have more opportunities for overseas further education, and consequently higher ability to cope with global health issues.
For the "Global Collaboration to Improve Patient Safety Management in Zimbabwe and Sierra Leone", we will assign young scholars to well-known universities such as Yale University in USA for a short-term training, and then to public hospitals in Zimbabwe and Sierra Leone in Africa for research in patient safety management. In this way, we arm our young scholars with higher overseas working abilities in the field of global health and cultivate talents for global health.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has accused Labor of rank populism after the opposition used parliament to demand the government overturn a Fair Work Commission decision on Sunday penalty rates.
The government had the numbers in the lower house to prevent Labor leader Bill Shorten tabling a private bill and have it debated and voted on by Monday afternoon.
Mr Shorten will have to wait three weeks for another opportunity.
But that didn't stop opposition MPs from demanding the prime minister intervene in the commission's decision to align Sunday and Saturday penalty rates for hundreds of thousands of workers.
"Today I'm offering the prime minister the chance to work with us to protect penalty rates and take-home pay of hard-working Australians," Mr Shorten told parliament.
"A decision to not remedy this decision of the Fair Work Commission is a decision to support it."
Mr Turnbull was scathing in his response.
"There has been a complete and utter blackflip undertaken by the Labor Party on this," he told MPs citing Labor's long-standing tradition of supporting the independent industrial umpire.
"This is rank populism."
Mr Turnbull said Mr Shorten, as minister at the time, helped establish references for the commission's review of penalty rates in the hospitality and retail sectors.
The Labor government had also provided funding to the Council of Small Business to argue its case for lower penalty rates before the commission.
Labor claims up to 700,000 workers will lose about $77 a week because of the commission's decision, leading the Greens to warn of civil unrest.
"Young people are getting screwed over and if this government doesn't fix it there'll be rioting in the streets," Greens MP Adam Bandt told reporters.
The latest Newspoll, showing another slide in voter support for the coalition, should come as no surprise, he said.
"Young people are getting screwed over, owning a home is out of reach, study is getting more expensive, work is getting more insecure and now many young people's wages will be cut," Mr Bandt told parliament.
Earlier, Treasurer Scott Morrison questioned what Mr Shorten was considering next.
"He doesn't like what the Reserve Bank decides on interest rates and he decides he wants to legislate and change that?" he told 2GB radio.
Unions have called on all politicians to join them in their fight to protect workers' pay.

- When Good Things Happen To Bad People
The Providence of God encompasses both the good things and the bad things that happen to us. Naomi and Ruth experience the latter through the loss of their husbands. But God extends his grace and provision to them through their kinsman Boaz. In this delightful love story, we see good things happening to them despite the fact that they were undeserving. What a picture of our lives when God extends grace to us! He takes the initiative and, though we deserve nothing, shows his love by working on our behalf.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says workers in various industries face work-related violence risks. Although employers in San Diego and elsewhere are responsible for protecting employee rights to safe work environments, a significant number of Type 2 violence incidents occur nationwide. Statistics show that 500 workers died from workplace violence in 2016, and 16,890 more suffered injuries in such events. Type 2 violence occurs when a customer or another individual turns violent against employees of a business with which the perpetrator has a legitimate relationship.
Employee rights of nurses who are victims of violence
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health has already established standards to protect nurses against violent patients in San Diego and across the state. National Nurses United is now asking that safety standards be established across the country. Over the years, thousands of nurses have been seriously injured in assaults by patients, and many could not return to work. The employee rights for these workers is a significant concern. Recently, a nurse in another state was a victim of an assault.
Starbucks workers sign petition over employee rights
Starbucks is considering its options to improve worker safety after learning of almost 4,000 signatures on an online petition. Those who signed the petition claim that their employee rights to safe work environments are violated because of exposure to used needles that are discarded in bathrooms. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, workplaces in San Diego and other cities nationwide must be free from recognized safety hazards.
Employee rights to workers' comp not linked to OSHA citations
Workers nationwide, including San Diego, California, are entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages -- and more in some cases -- if they suffered work-related injuries. These employee rights to benefits are based on a no-fault system, meaning that they can file benefits claims even if they were at fault. A recent case in another state demonstrates that even if a judge throws out a fine issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, it will not jeopardize the injured worker's rights to compensation.
Employee rights: Accept or reject job offer while recovering?
Victims of on-the-job injuries in San Diego might not understand how California workers' compensation benefits work if their employers offer them jobs while they are recovering. A doctor might order restricted duties, and if an employer makes such an offer, it must be for a job that meets the restrictions set out in a doctor's report. If that is the case, employee rights allow the worker to accept or reject the offer within a predetermined time limit.
Employee rights when it comes to workers' compensation benefits
Members of the California workforce know that a workplace accident can happen at any time. For this reason, it is crucial for them to understand their employee rights when it comes to workers' compensation benefits. To avoid delays in benefits payments, it is essential to get medical attention immediately, and even go to the hospital if necessary. The next step is to inform the employer of the injury as soon as possible.
California restaurants found in violation of employee rights
Certain locations of Cheesecake Factory restaurants were recently found to be in violation of proper employment practices. Several California locations of the restaurant were investigated and were found to be guilty of employee rights violations. The Labor Commissioner's Office awarded janitorial workers after the investigation was concluded.
California court aims to protect employee rights for gig workers
In recent years, the gig economy has expanded across several industries as technology changes the way people work. Gig economy employers have relied heavily on the use of independent contractors to make their services available at affordable prices. However, some of the workers say they are being misclassified and are being denied their employee rights. A recent California Supreme Court ruling sided with the workers, saying that they should be offered the same benefits as employees using something called the ABC test standard.
California sexual harassment rules support employee rights
Sexual harassment has no place in the work environment. In California, one of the basic employee rights is the right to be free from harassment and discrimination. There are current laws in place against the practice that require training, but a recent proposed state bill aims to strengthen the policy.
California employee rights include paid sick leave
Every person will likely experience a sickness that takes him or her away from work for a time, especially during cold and flu season. For some, time away from work can represent a financial hardship unless they are able to take paid leave. In California, the Healthy Workplace, Healthy Families Act was enacted to offer paid leave to all employees, so employee rights to paid leave are now protected in the state.

Abuja Airport Reopens After Runway Repairs
Nigeria's Abuja Airport reopened on Tuesday as six weeks of runway repairs were completed and operations resumed with an Ethiopian Airlines flight.
Nnamdi Azikiwe airport in Nigeria's capital has been closed since March 8, but reopened a day early as the runway reconstruction was completed ahead of schedule, the government said.
During the closure, flights used Kaduna Airport, but many international carriers including British Airways and Lufthansa refused to use the smaller airport, located over 150 km (100 miles) away.
International carriers continued to use the international airport in the country's commercial hub Lagos while Abuja was closed.
Some work had been carried out overnight prior to March 8, but the runway had to be closed completely to complete the resurfacing.

When mild-mannered economist Steven D. Levitt published a paper linking a rise in abortion to a drop in crime, it set off a firestorm of controversy and had both the conservatives and liberals up in arms. But Levitt has no political agenda and is the last person to be called a moralist. He is a brilliant but uncomplicated man who uses simple questions to reach startling conclusions. The Wall Street Journal has said "If Indiana Jones were an economist, he'd be Steven Levitt," he has shown other economists just how well their tools can make sense of the real world.
Steven Levitt is a tenured professor in the University of Chicago's economics department (he received tenure after only two years) and was the 2003 recipient of the American Economic Association's prestigious John Bates Clark Medal, given to the country's best economist under 40.
Why Steven Levitt?
Co-author of the New York Times bestselling Freakonomics series, and 2003 recipient of the American Economic Association's prestigious John Bates Clark Medal, given to the country's best economist under 40, Steven D. Levitt works with businesses to apply his Freakonomics approach (combining data, economic theory, and unorthodox thinking) to the corporate world.
When Stephen Dubner (co-author of Freakonomics, SuperFreakonomics, Think Like A Freak and When To Rob a Bank) profiled Levitt in The New York Times Magazine, he was beset by questions, queries, riddles and requests—from General Motors and the New York Yankees and U.S. senators but also from prisoners and parents and a man who sold bagels. A former Tour de France champion called him to ask his help in proving that the current Tour is rife with doping; the Central Intelligence Agency wanted to know how Levitt might use data to catch terrorists.
Originally published in the U.S. in 2005, Freakonomics instantly became a cultural phenomenon. Hailed by critics and readers alike, it went on to spend more than eight years on The New York Times bestseller list, having sold more than seven million copies around the world, in more than 40 countries. Levitt and Dubner have appeared widely on television and maintain the popular Freakonomics blog, which can be found on The New York Times website. Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt shows how economics is, at root, the study of incentives— that is, how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. Freakonomics showed that the modern world, despite a great deal of complexity and downright deceit, is not impenetrable, is not unknowable, and—if the right questions are asked—is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking.
A book that was even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first, SuperFreakonomics retained that off-kilter sensibility (comparing, for instance, the relative dangers of driving while drunk versus walking while drunk) but also tackled a host of issues at the very center of modern society: terrorism, global warming, altruism, and more. Released in October 2010, the illustrated edition of SuperFreakonomics employed photographs, drawings, and graphs that led readers to see the world in a bold, fresh way.
Levitt's third book with Dubner, Think Like A Freak, was released in May 2014 and also became an instant New York Times bestseller. Their latest book is called When To Rob A Bank and was released in May 2015.
Steven Levitt has an enormous curiosity and is set on course by personal experiences and the incongruities he sees in everyday life. He is an intuitionist. He sifts through a pile of data to find a story that no one else has found and devises ways to measure an effect that veteran economists have declared un-measurable.

The semester is coming to a close. I can't believe how quickly it went. It seems like just the other day I was posting about my acceptance into the program.
Currently I need to be finishing my case study for clinicals--it's on Ovarian cancer and I'm really not that interested in doing it at all. I want to STUDY, not do stupid projects. We have to give a 20-30 minute presentation on it, but that is definitely not going to happen. It is due tomorrow at 9am. I only have about 11 slides. I should really be working on it. Right now it is 11am; I want to have it done by, let's saaaaaaay: 3.
Edit: It is now 1:30 and I finished it!!!!:):) It totally sucks, but I don't care.
After that I need to make about 500 notecards for Patho.
Then I'll probably go over Mirza's to play the Wii, if my car starts okay. I really shouldn't go over his house because I have to study. ughhh, it's so hard to just NOT GO!!
This is what I have coming up:
-Tomorrow: Case Study
-Thursday: Patho quiz covering 8 chapters
-Monday: Fundamentals HESI EXAM (aaaaah!)<--need an 85 to get an A in Fundamentals, which means I can miss 8 out of 55!! -Thursday: Physical exam final <---need an 87 to get an A because it is worth 40% of my grade. Patho final THE END!! CHRISTMAS BREAK!! Cannot wait.
Wish me luck.
