Ophthalmic pathology faces a shortfall
1 comment:
I'm going to register for the site. Ophthalmic pathology is a black box at most places. It's like a hot potato--no one wants to deal with it, particularly the enucleations. Ophthalmic pathology is becoming more and more under the jurisdiction of neuropathology; however, the vast majority of neuropathologists say that they received inadequate training in the field. At the next neuropath meeting, there will be at least two lectures devoted to ophthalmic pathology during the special course.

Richland Newhope awarded remote support grant
For Immediate Release – Jan. 9, 2019
Contact: Jane Imbody, Director of Community Education, 419-774-4215 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Richland Newhope awarded remote support grant
(Mansfield, OH) – Richland Newhope/Richland County Board of Developmental Disabilities has received a $20,000 grant from the Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council and The Ohio State University Nisonger Center.
The grant is one of 13 awarded since last September to support initiatives that expand remote support or remote monitoring availability in Ohio.
"The ongoing workforce crisis often leaves county boards of developmental disabilities and providers without sufficient staff to fill vacant positions," says Nisonger Center Technology Project Coordinator Jordan Wagner. "Ohio is now a 'Technology First' state, and the grants are offering to advance this mandate by harnessing the benefits of technology to mitigate the workforce crisis and promote independence among individuals with developmental disabilities."
Richland Newhope plans to use the grant dollars to create a demonstration site where those with developmental disabilities, their family members, staff, and provider partners can experience first-hand remote monitoring and other technologies that are available.
Specifically, the grant money will be used to buy equipment, such as a two-way audio/video screen, cameras, wireless sensors, automated medication dispenses, and other devices, that work with a remote support system. The goal is to have the demonstration site ready by April 1.
"This grant is just the start of educating our staff, individuals, and their supports about how technology can make people more independent and improve the quality of their life," adds Mary Dalbey, Richland Newhope's coordinator of Provider Recruitment and Development.
Richland Newhope supports more than 1,600 Richland County residents through early intervention, preschool, transition services, day services, supported employment, residential, therapy, and other family support programs.

Brachial Plexus Anatomy
Dr. Sumaiya Khan
Apr 19, 2019
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that is responsible for innervation of the shoulder and arm region. Here, we provide some information about the anatomy of this network.
The brachial plexus is a particular arrangement of nerve fibers that run from the spine, and are formed by the ventral rami of the lower four cervical and the first thoracic nerve roots. It proceeds through the neck, the axilla (armpit) region, and into the arm.
It is a very important structure that is responsible for cutaneous and muscular intervention of the entire upper limb, except for the trapezius muscle (which is neurally innervated by the spinal accessory nerve), and the skin near the axilla, which is innervated by the intercostobrachial nerve.
Brachial plexus is divided into roots, trunks, divisions, cords and branches. The rami (divisions) of the spinal nerves from C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1, are referred to as the five roots of brachial plexus. They merge together in a certain order to form three trunks: C5 and C6 roots merge to form the superior or the upper trunk. C7 travels alone, and continues as the middle trunk. C8 and T1 roots join to form the inferior or lower trunk.
Each of these trunks splits into two, to form a total of six divisions. These are the anterior divisions of the upper, middle, and lower trunks, and the posterior divisions of the upper, middle, and lower trunks. These divisions merge to form three cords. These cords are named in accordance with their relative position with respect to the axillary artery.
The posterior cord is formed by the three posterior divisions of the trunks C5 and T1. The posterior cord gives rise to the upper subscapular nerve, lower subscapular nerve, thoracodorsal nerve, axillary nerve and the radial nerve. The axillary nerve gives sensation to the shoulder region, while the radial nerve innervates the upper and lower arm.
The lateral cord is the anterior division from the upper and middle trunk, that is, from C5 and C7. This cord gives rise to the lateral pectoral nerve, which innervates the pectoralis major muscle.
The mucocutaneous nerve is the second nerve, which innervates the biceps. The median nerve is the last on that arises from the lateral cord, and also, it partly arises from the medial cord.
The medial cord is the last cord that gives rise to various nerves. It is a continuation of the anterior division of the lower trunk (C8 - T1). The median pectoral nerve innervates the pectoralis muscle. The medial brachial cutaneous nerve and the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve arise from T1 and C8 respectively.
The median nerve partly arises from the medial cord, and partly originates from the lateral cord. The ulnar nerve is the last one that originates in the nerve roots C7, C8, and T1. It provides sensation to the ring finger and the pinky finger.
Injuries or lesions can occur in the brachial plexus region, as a result of shoulder trauma, inflammations, and even due to tumors. By studying the anatomy on MRI, one can locate the exact point of trauma. Furthermore, the signs and symptoms will also help to indicate the injured section of the plexus.

Population (2011) of Newbourne: 304.
Local licensing authority for Newbourne is East Suffolk.
About Newbourne
This village is located on the southern side of river Deben and contains many small farmsteads; these are former Land Settlement Association holdings.
A Land Settlement Association was formed in 1934 to provide employment on the land for unemployed industrial workers from depressed urban areas. Successful applicants received agricultural training and each family was given 5 acres to cultivate plus livestock to rear. The small holdings were run as a co-operative, but like other similar communities it eventually failed when the men complained of the long hours, low pay and the isolation of rural life. Recruitment to the scheme ceased at the outbreak of World World War II. The settlements were dissolved and privatised in 1983.
Newbourne Springs was used as a source of water for the surrounding district. Today Anglian Water supplies much of the water used in this area and the old pumping station has since been converted into a visitors centre for a nature reserve.
The Newbourne Giants, George & Meadows Page (7' 7" (2.3m) tall) became minor celebrities in the 19th century when they toured with Samuel Whiting's Travelling Show. Their home, known as the Giants' House, is near the Fox. Their graves can be found in the churchyard.

The Football Association of Serbia has accused Albania of orchestrating a deliberate "terrorist action" to force the abandonment of the countries' European Championship qualifier as it sought to deflect blame for its latest footballing shame.
On the same evening both nations were charged by Uefa over what its president branded "inexcusable" scenes in Belgrade, the FSS issued an extraordinary 1,400-word statement demanding that Serbia be awarded a 3-0 win for the fractious fixture.
Amid the threat of having to play future matches behind closed doors, the FSS claimed the radio-controlled drone that sparked a mass brawl involving players, officials and fans was operated by an Albanian sympathiser with the express aim of forcing Premier League referee Martin Atkinson to call off the Group I game.
Evoking memories of its risible response to the racist abuse directed at England's Danny Rose during an Under-21 match in Krusevac two years earlier, the FSS added credence to the Serbian Interior Ministry's allegation that the brother of the prime minister of Albania was in control of the drone dangling a politically-incendiary flag over the pitch.
Despite vehement denials from Olsi Rama, who also refuted that he had been arrested over the incident, Uefa charged the Albanian FA with "the display of an illicit banner".
That was after the FSS said: "FA of Serbia are aghast by the seen provocation and are afraid that this is scenario of a terrorist action planned in advance, above all directed against interests of our country, Republic of Serbia."
Tuesday night's violence represented the biggest footballing scandal yet to engulf Serbia, which could be forced to play next month's qualifier against Denmark behind closed doors.
As well as the FSS being twice fined for the racist chanting of its fans in Under-21 matches against England, it was also punished with a 3-0 defeat over the violence that erupted during Serbia's Euro 2012 qualifier in Italy four years ago.
The FSS has accepted minimal responsibility for the Belgrade brawl, ignited when Serbia player Stefan Mitrović grabbed the 'Greater Albania' flag, which depicted a map of an area that includes territory within his country.
It accused Albania's players of assaulting Mitrović as he folded the flag "as calmly as possible in order to give it to the fourth official and for the match to be continued".
It admitted its own supporters had "succumbed to the provocation" and vowed to press charges against those involved.
But it insisted its players had been willing to resume the game - suspended by Atkinson in the 41st minute - only for the Albanian team to refuse.
It said: "It is a scandalous fact that the other party, with their 'job well done', is ridiculing not only FA of Serbia and Serbian people but also, we dare to say, Uefa."
Referring to the alleged involvement of the brother of the Albanian prime minister and the celebrations in that country following the abandonment, it added: "Now we ask: how the world, many politicians, EU and Uefa representatives would react if such a crazy, shameless scenario was to happen in Albania and directed by our 'officials'?"
As well as the threat of behind-closed-doors matches, both teams' associations are likely to be hit by hefty fines.
Uefa could yet award Serbia a 3-0 victory in the fixture, having charged the Football Association of Albania with "refusing to play", despite one of its players saying: "We feared for our lives".
All but ruling out a replay, Uefa confirmed the return fixture in just under a year's time would go ahead but could take place at a neutral venue, rather than the Albanian city of Elbasan.
Platini said: "Football is supposed to bring people together and our game should not be mixed with politics of any kind. The scenes in Belgrade were inexcusable."
Fifa's president, Sepp Blatter, added: "Football should never be used for political messages. I strongly condemn what happened in Belgrade."
Relations between Serbia and Albania have been fragile over Kosovo - a former Serbian province - and the ethnic Albanian minority in southern Serbia, who often demand more autonomy.
However, neither of the countries' football associations asked Uefa to keep them apart in the Euro 2016 qualifying draw - something it did do with Spain and Gibraltar, as well as Russia and Ukraine.
The governing body would have separated Serbia and Albania had there been an ongoing armed conflict between them or the absence of normal diplomatic relations.
Ironically, Tuesday's violence erupted just days before Edi Rama was due to become the first Albanian president to visit Serbia for 68 years.
After the draw was made, each association asked Uefa to sanction the banning of away supporters at both group games, something it agreed to facilitate.
It also emerged that the Premier League was liaising with Football League over the potential threat of drones to games in England after the latter reported incidents during matches this season to the Civil Aviation Authority, which was investigating.

Is Cheating really unforgivable? – I couldn't feel his pulse any longer, yet I leaned over him to be sure he had really breathed his last. With the knife in his jugular, paving way for a free flow of blood; my hands red and his eyes eventually pale as he stared lifelessly at the kitchen ceiling. I have never felt so close to death, like it was patting my back. I battled off the urge to pull out the knife and inflict a similar calamity on myself. This was it, death has it has always been defined; the inevitable. Death, the friend from which we cannot run too far and the enemy we will continually scare away from. Death had taken the love of my life and I wasn't sure if I desired to live on without him. .
Nobody loves death because it leaves so many things unattended to, withers love and inflicts pain. How about death embracing love, does that even make sense? Death embraced in few moments the love I'd nurtured for 5 years. I pulled the knife with a strong gasp and plunged into my abdomen forcefully. I shit you not, I heard death whisper 'well done'. In that long hour of unconsciousness I felt reunited to James again.
Joan weds James, marriage was in 2 weeks. Everything before then was perfect, especially the proposal that happened 6 months earlier. It was simple but I loved it. I was sleeping over at his place after a tired day at work. I was already dozing off when I heard an angelic voice singing my favourite song, with James playing the piano. I opened my eyes and I was amazed to find his friends staring at me, his younger brother running his fingers through the guitar strings. No one by Alicia Keys never sounded so good. He reached forward on bended knee and popped the question, I said yes.
I was making his breakfast in the kitchen when he walked up to me with tears in his eyes, saying, "I think if we must live happily ever after there has to be no secrets between us. I have something I must confess."
The bread knife in my hand vibrated rhythmically with my body but I stood firm. "What James? What is it? You are scaring me."
"I cheated a while ago but it was nothing. I didn't love her. It was a one night stand. She got pregnant, gave birth to a set of twin and I…" I sent the knife into his neck before he could say another word. I was distorted as he choked on his breathe. How could he do that to me? After all we've been true and all I've done for him. Paid his way through school after he lost his dad. Stayed with him when he had no job. I gave him my body, soul and money, yet he betrayed me. Those burdening thoughts prompted my action but it was too late. James died, I survived.
I was charged with murder and have been sentenced to death. It's been 2 months on the death role and I just want it to end already. The guilt I feel kills me every minute of the day, especially since the lady in question came forward anonymously via a letter that James wasn't the father of the twin, he was just being blackmailed. I wasn't patient enough to hear him all out, I sentenced him to death in my and executed the order.
Men cheat, women too. Is cheating really unforgivable? The things ladies do. Why blackmail a not so innocent soul?

Fan who first challenged NFL blackouts: What took so long?
PHOENIX — The NFL on Monday suspended its television blackout policy for one season, and the man who went to the Supreme Court in the 1970s to get the policy overturned called it "a victory for the fans."
"They're finally coming to their senses,'' lawyer and football fan Robin Ficker told Sporting News from his Maryland office. "They're coming to them 43 years too late, though.''
MORE: NFL's craziest fans | Super Bowl XLIX draws record ratings
When the NFL went from blacking out all games in their teams' home markets to instituting the 72-hour sellout rule in 1974, it was because Ficker had been enraged at the prospect of not seeing his hometown Washington team's home playoff game against the Packers back in December 1972.
"The game was on Christmas Eve, and they weren't going to show it,'' remembers Ficker, who turns 72 next week. "My papers were taken to (Supreme Court Chief) Justice (Warren) Burger over breakfast the next day.''
The court responded by asking Congress to change the law, which it did two seasons later. The FCC repealed all sports blackouts last September, but allowed the NFL to keep its policy if it conflicted with broadcast contracts. In announcing the one-year suspension of their policy, the NFL said that no games were blacked out in the 2014 season.
Ficker later gained far more fame, or infamy, for his heckling at NBA games from his seats at the Washington Bullets' arena in Landover, Md., before the team moved to its downtown arena in 1997. Long before that, though, his legal heckling was aimed at then-NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle for defending the blackout rule to protect home attendance. Ficker won something of a victory, but two more commissioners took office before the latest victory could be claimed.
"It just shows that the position they held then was wrong, and it always was wrong,'' Ficker said, adding, "What took them so long?"
Still, he said he has never stopped loving football, adding that his son-in-law now scouts for the Seahawks, and that he has attended each of the past two Super Bowls.
"I'm glad they're finally realizing that the NFL — while having a very high opinion of themselves — would be nothing without the loyal fans who spend on tickets, spend on clothes, spend on merchandise,'' Ficker said. "It's the fans who make the game, not vice versa, … All the Marshawn Lynch-lovers, all the Tom Brady-lovers, they won today.''

* Prada to invest in menswear, shops, factories
* Sales to grow "high single digit" in 2014, 11 pct in 2015-16
* Net profit rises less than 1 pct in 2013, drops in Q4
* Plans China openings, brushes off Russia concerns (Adds details of three year plan, quotes from CEO, CFO, analyst)
By Isla Binnie
HONG KONG/MILAN, April 2 (Reuters) - Italian luxury fashion group Prada is pinning its hopes on men's growing taste for finely-cut suits and leather bags to drive a pick up in sales growth in the coming years.
The 101-year-old brand, the largest in a group including Miu Miu, Church's and Car Shoe, said on Wednesday it aimed to almost double menswear sales to 1.5 billion euros ($2.1 billion) over three to five years, and open more dedicated men's shops.
Along with other store openings and an increase in production capacity, the company told analysts and investors it expected the expansion of its menswear business to help return it to double-digit sales growth by 2016.
"Men will be protagonists in our development," Prada retail director Guilio Bruni said. The company forecast a high single-digit percentage rise in sales this year and at least 11 percent in 2015-16.
While luxury sales remain predominantly to women, the market for men is growing more rapidly, according to management consultancy firm Bain, leading a number of brands to launch more products aimed at them.
Italian label Brunello Cucinelli said in January it would invest to appeal to the male market.
Prada's men's products include leather briefcases and tailored suits. Bernstein analyst Mario Ortelli welcomed the move, saying: "The menswear strategy could provide an important boost."
Prada, whose menswear business made around 800 million euros of sales last year, said it would open 50 dedicated men's stores from 2014-2016, added to the 30 it currently has.
The company reported 2013 sales up 9 percent. Net profit, however, rose less than 1 percent and dropped 13 percent year-on-year in the fourth quarter amid a broader slowdown in the luxury sector as once voracious demand in China cooled.
Prada, which regularly mixes men and women on the catwalk for its fashion shows, said group like-for-like sales growth was about 7 percent last year and stayed at that level in the fourth quarter, in contrast with luxury peers such as Gucci and Tod's whose sales weakened later in the year.
Having rapidly expanded its retail network since its 2011 listing, Prada now plans to invest up to 450 million euros this year in projects including 80 new shops and four new industrial plants which should open by the end of next year.
Retail locations in Prada's sights include China, in contrast with Gucci which has pulled out of some locations in the world's biggest luxury goods market.
"Even if we open the shops we are going to open in the next two to three years (in China) we will still be lower than most of our direct competitors," finance chief Donatello Galli said.
The Prada brand has 146 directly-operated stores in Asia including Japan. Sales rose in Asia Pacific in 2013 at more than double the rate in Europe.
Chief Executive Officer Patrizio Bertelli brushed aside questions about possible risks to Prada's business in Russia, where concerns have been raised by geopolitical troubles.
"Russia is a country of 180 million people, with a strong economy and consumers who like luxury," Bertelli said, adding the group's sales in Russia had risen 30 percent last year.
Prada's Kiev store was temporarily closed during protests in the Ukrainian capital this year, but is now open again.
Bertelli, who owns a controlling stake in Prada alongside his wife, creative director and co-chief executive Miuccia Prada, said they could put a further 5 percent on the market.
"We have not evaluated selling another stake but the option of looking into placing 5 percent in the future should not be written off," Bertelli said.
Prada shares closed at HK$61.75 on the Hong Kong market on Wednesday before the presentation, and are down 10.5 percent so far this year compared with a 3.4 percent dip in the benchmark Hang Seng index. The company proposed a dividend of 0.11 euros per share, up 22 percent from last year.

One Sound Choir Collaboration
Wow. What a weekend. It's been months of rehearsals and planning and what a success it was. Jack and I decided last year to bring all of the choirs we work with together to sing in one joint show. We had Love Soul Choir, Jack's community choir 'Sing Now Choir' and workplace choirs from West Quay, Marwell Wildlife, Wessex Institute and Solent University that I work with.
It's been quite stressful at times. Trying to organise and co-ordinate 150 singers was always going to be a bit of a mission. We spent time organising everything. Every single detail was planned.
It then came to the day of the rehearsal. We had planned an evening rehearsal. It was an opportunity for the performers to watch the other choirs and also go through the running of the show. I was feeling particularly stressed during the day. Not down to the set lists but down to the number of people we had to organise and the potential that it could go very wrong. What a rehearsal. We had such a supportive positive atmosphere in the room. People were up and dancing to Love Soul Choir's set and when it came to 'The Climb' and 'Star Girl' where all groups were singing together, the sound was enormous. I had an incredible sense of pride. All of these singers we spend so much time working with were sounding so incredible and were able to do something so fun!
The show was incredible. Such an amazing buzz and some incredible feedback from audience members. There really is nothing better than singing in a choir. We've already started to plan next years show! Bring it on.
Thanks once again to everybody involved and thanks for making my work so enjoyable. I have the best job in the world and work with the best people too!

Google likes to integrate many of its services so that they all function as one. While a great idea in concept, the implication can at times be disastrous. This was proven when Google integrated Google+ and YouTube together in an attempt to allow a more streamlined experience when commenting on videos. Users took to the internet to express their disdain for the move and it appears that they are doing so again, so for a different reason. Users are reporting a bug on Google Hangouts that is preventing them from merging their Google Voice/SMS messages with their Hangouts messages.
Google Hangouts came to existence in May of 2013. After being in development for a while, and going by the code name "Babel", Google finally decided that they were ready to release a direct competitor to Facebook Messenger and Apple's iMessage services. Group video chats, free messages to other Hangouts users, and a clean interface were among some of the great features that helped Hangouts reach over a billion downloads on the Play Store. An impressive feat that only 12 other apps have been able to accomplish.
There were some complains with the original app however, as Hangouts could only communicate with other Hangout users, so this greatly limited the functionality of the newborn app as there were not too many Hangout users at the time. Google quickly realized that this was acting a bottleneck for the fledgling app and they released an update a few short months later that added SMS integration to the messaging service.
Today, however, it appears that there are some rising issues with using the Hangouts app, as some users are reporting an issue that is preventing the merging of SMS messages with Hangouts. The exact nature of what is causing this error is still unknown, as Google has not divulged any concrete information. They did state though that they are working on a fix and will have it ready for release as soon as they figure out what is going on. A bit vague, so it may be a week or two before we see the update go live. If you are a Hangouts user and cannot stand clutter, you may want to consider switching to a new messaging app, at least for the time being.

At least one local egg producer made sure he stamped his mark on World Egg Day today with a presentation of dozens of eggs to children and staff at the All Saints Primary School.
Managing Director of Star Chick, Wendell Clarke said the St. Lucy-based company had already formed a connection with the northern school through Eggy, the company's egg mascot.
This morning, he introduced the children to Egg C, the other mascot's cousin, as he sought to launch a new campaign targeting tourism, agriculture and youth.
He held a short session with more than 40 Reception pupils explaining the benefits of eggs and encouraging them by the presentations of several crates to take the eggs home to their parents so they could prepare nutritious meals for them.
"We decided to start with the young people because sometimes the older folk have this misconception that egg is not good for them and we don't want that in these children's heads. Children always know that egg is good for them, so we start from young. We are not leaving out the children at all," he said.
His visit for World Egg Day, he confirmed, was becoming an annual event with the Pleasant Hall, St. Peter-based school, and it helped to continue to educate and encourage the use of eggs.
"I will talk to them about eggs, let them know that eggs are good for them and other facts about eggs and then give them eggs to take home. So they can go home and tell their parents that they got egg at school. We want to be friends with the children with eggs.
"We are sorry that we could not get around to all the schools today, but one day we will get there," said Clarke.
Egg C entered the Reception classroom to a loud rendition of Happy Birthday, egged on by Clarke, who told the students that just as they had a birthday, today was such a special day for Egg C.
The colourful mascot then made presentations of eggs to students, including five year old Joniya Springer, as a birthday present, and four-year-old Brielle Hall-Alleyne, who smiled at the character.
Other students in the school who saw the mascot on the premises were also eager to meet him, some mistaking him for his cousin, Eggy whom they had met last year. (LB)

Canon Ij Setup imageCLASS MF414dw
Canon Ij Setup imageCLASS MF414dw – The Canon imageClass MF414dw ($399) is a monochrome laser multifunction printer (MFP) equipped for medium-to rock solid imprinting in a smaller scale or little office. With a strong list of capabilities, a scope of availability decisions, and great content quality, the MF414dw$335.00 at is a sensible decision, however you show signs of improvement mix of highlights and execution with the HP LaserJet Pro M426fdw , our Editors' Choice.
Outline and Features Canon Ij Setup imageCLASS MF414dw
Estimating 17 by 15.4 by 18.6 inches (HWD) and measuring 42 pounds with a cartridge set up, the MF414dw requires a table or seat of its own, and you most likely need two individuals to move it into put. Its front board incorporates an alphanumeric keypad for entering fax numbers and other data, a 3.5-inch shading contact screen LCD, and catches recognized by the two words and symbols, including Home, Back, Color and Stop, and a couple of checking and fax-particular catches. The port for USB thumb drives is on the front of the printer to one side of the yield plate.
A 250-sheet fundamental paper plate and a 50-sheet multipurpose feeder are Canon, just like a programmed duplexer for imprinting on the two sides of a sheet of paper. The printer is set as a matter of course to two-sided printing as a paper-sparing measure. A discretionary $199 500-sheet paper plate is accessible, for a greatest paper limit of up to 800 sheets.
A 50-sheet duplexing programmed report feeder (ADF) gives you a chance to duplicate, output, or fax the two sides of multipage archives up to legitimate size. It first sweeps one side of a record, flips it over, and afterward examines the opposite side. The OKI MB472w $349.95 at Amazon has a comparative 50-sheet duplexing ADF. The HP M426fdw additionally has a 50-sheet ADF, however it filters the two sides of a two-sided report without a moment's delay, so it's considerably speedier.
The MF414dw offers Ethernet, USB, and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi network. It additionally bolsters making an immediate, distributed association with good gadgets by means of Wi-Fi Direct. Portable conventions and administrations upheld incorporate Apple AirPrint, Mopria Print Service, Canon Print Business, and Google Cloud Print. Printer drivers incorporate Canon's host-based (UFR II) driver, and in addition PCL6. I tried the printer over an Ethernet association.
Canon Ij Setup imageCLASS MF414dw Printing Speed
In its default duplex (two-sided) mode, for which it is appraised at up to 17 pages for each moment (ppm), the MF414dw printed our business applications suite (as planned with QualityLogic's equipment and programming) at 9ppm. This is sufficient, however not especially quick. In impromptu testing in simplex (uneven) mode, for which it is appraised at 35ppm, the MF414dw found the middle value of 11.1ppm, well shy of the HP M426fdw, evaluated at 40ppm, which we tried at 16.4ppm. We planned the OKI MB472w, evaluated at 35ppm, at 9.7ppm in our testing.
Yield Quality Canon Ij Setup imageCLASS MF414dw
General yield quality is ordinary of a mono laser, with marginally better than expected content, illustrations a bit less than impressive, and normal photographs. The MF414dw's content ought to be fine for most yield utilizes aside from those requiring modest text styles.
Albeit most designs look sensibly great, in testing the MF414dw had issues recognizing comparative tones in a single representation, and thin lines that were in shading in the first report were everything except undetectable. Photograph quality is fine for pictures from Web pages.
Running costs, in light of Canon's cost and yield figures for toner, are 3 pennies for every monochrome page. This is higher than the OKI MB472w's 1.9 pennies for every page and the HP M426fdw's 2.2 pennies for each page.
Canon Ij Setup imageCLASS MF414dw Conclusion
The Canon imageClass MF414dw is a decent monochrome laser for medium-to hard core use in a smaller scale office. It offers better content quality, yet poorer illustrations quality than the HP M426fdw, and is slower than that Editors' Choice model, worked for fairly lighter-obligation printing. In spite of the fact that it can't coordinate the execution and highlights of the HP M426fdw, the MF414dw is as yet a strong decision.
canonijstart.co provides the installer to use your devices with Canon Ij Setup imageCLASS MF414dw the file is free from viruses and malware.
In case you need to build Connection Using WPS
- Please be sure that the access point button is ready to be excecuted.

I nipped out this morning to get some more goats milk for Gaussian and petrol for the quad and muck truck. I don't like venturing far when there is a baby due, so it was a quick run round the supermarket and petrol station and back.
All was well when I return. Molly's cria is still hanging in there, she is spending a lot more time sitting down now and today she has been rolling round on mole hills - we've had an invasion of the mole!!
In fact Molly started a bit of a thing, there was a queue waiting for the mole hill. After Molly went Aria, Willow, Kate (who are due to birth in that order strangely enough) then Gaussian and Nefertiti.
Pedicure time again.

Exhibition: Currents Suprastudio Summer Session 2011
Opening reception: September 23 | 6-8pm
Perloff Gallery
When is a building big enough to be considered a micro-city? How can continuously connected urban environments of a hyper designed nature affect our senses and how we operate and navigate in the future? And how can the representational techniques of film and multi-media shift the way in which we think about and actually design the environment?
These questions and many more will be taken up in Suprastudio 04/ 2011-2012, a yearlong immersive studio based post professional course. Professor Neil Denari, with Stephen Deters, will lead UCLA graduate students into a speculative yet very real world of technology, ranging from specialized structures and envelope design to smart communications systems. Indeed, from spectacular buildings to invisible infrastructure, cities are like any other machine or organism, constantly in need of revitalization, replacement, and invention. Suprastudio 04 will focus its inquiries into urban form and human interface in the city on a well known site in Los Angeles: Westwood Village. Nothing less than the complete transformation of this site will be the expected outcome.
This exhibition of the summer studio work, Giant Greenhouse, led by Assistant Professor Jason Payne focuses on the unique problems associated with design at very large scales. Over the course of six weeks student designers propose massive, 2 mile by 2.5 mile greenhouse structures on a site in the Coachella Valley.
Perloff Hall is located on the UCLA Campus.
Perloff Hall, M-F, 9am – 5pm
Info: 310.267.4704
Lectures take place at 6:30pm in Perloff Hall, Decafé (unless otherwise indicated)
Parking is available in Lot 3 for $11, purchase parking at the Westholme Ave and Hilgard Ave kiosk.

BRATTLEBORO—Voters finally may get a chance to consider a four-town school district merger in Windham Southeast Supervisory Union.
The union's Act 46 Study Committee has approved a proposal for combining districts in Brattleboro, Dummerston, Guilford, and Putney into one new district governed by one board. If the state Board of Education also OK's the plan, the matter will go to voters in those four towns on Nov. 7
The outcome is far from certain, as Windham Southeast's merger talks have been protracted and difficult. But officials are planning a series of community meetings and other outreach efforts in advance of the vote.
"We've been working on it for a while, and I think we all feel good about it," said Alice Laughlin, the study committee's chairwoman. "I think we're looking forward to having people really understand why the merger is worthy of their consideration."
Laughlin and Windham Southeast administrators have presided over a process that began in fall 2015, not long after the state Legislature's approval of Act 46.
The statute pushes for creation of larger, consolidated school districts statewide in an effort to reduce costs and improve educational opportunities. But Windham Southeast has had a hard time coming up with a plan that satisfies the goals of Act 46 and the desires of local residents.
Varying concerns
Some of the opposition has been ideological: There is concern that school mergers won't be beneficial, and some don't like the idea of giving up each town's direct control over school properties and education budgets.
There also has been structural strife. Vernon officials pulled out of Windham Southeast's merger talks due to a desire to preserve their school-choice setup, and Vernon residents eventually voted to leave the regional school union so that the town can pursue its own Act 46 plan.
Earlier this year, the study committee put out a public call for the state's assistance in resolving Act 46 issues. State experts responded with detailed information about the law but declined to tell the committee which options to pursue.
All of that led to an Aug. 24 meeting in Brattleboro, where the study committee put the finishing touches on a proposal to create the "Windham Southeast Unified District."
The plan doesn't call for immediate closure of any schools. But it does away with each town's individual school board in favor of a new, nine-member board that would oversee one budget.
A unified district, the study committee's report says, "will result in one mission and vision benefitting all our students."
Merger proponents say the larger district would allow more staff flexibility as well as the ability to expand educational, after-school, and summer programs.
"Each school has a unique culture," the study committee's report says. "The expectation would be to maintain that culture and have the opportunity for additional programming."
There also are financial motivations to form a consolidated district.
In addition to tax incentives offered by the state to merging districts, proponents also say the merger will promote "more efficient financial programming and delivery of financial services." Initial savings are estimated at more than $100,000 and could grow, officials say.
'Pure speculation'
But some aren't buying it. Dummerston resident Jody Normandeau, a critic of the merger process, told committee members that the local Act 46 plan is "not palatable."
Normandeau is concerned, for instance, about losing her town's vote on a school budget. In the combined district, the towns would vote collectively on a budget via Australian ballot.
She also objects to giving up Dummerston's school board, though the merger plan calls for creation of "school-based leadership councils" to advise the four-town board.
Sacrificing local control, Normandeau argued, would bring debatable gains. Claims of financial savings and educational improvement are "pure speculation," she said.
"We don't know. We won't know until we get into it," Normandeau told the committee. "And once we get into it, we can't get out."
Nevertheless, the eight study committee members who were present voted unanimously to send the merger plan to the state. They expect the Board of Education to review the documents at a meeting in September, though a specific date hasn't yet been announced for that session.
If the state board approves Windham Southeast's plan, the merger process would kick into high gear.
In addition to voting on the merger Nov. 7, residents in the four towns also would be electing members of the new, combined school board. Anyone interested in running for those positions will be able to pick up petitions starting Sept. 21, but they have to be returned by Oct. 2.
"It's a very short turnaround," said Lyle Holiday, Windham Southeast superintendent.
The study committee also has scheduled informational meetings in each of the affected towns: Oct. 30 in Dummerston, Nov. 1 in Brattleboro, Nov. 2 in Putney, and Nov. 6 in Guilford. Each meeting will start at 6 p.m. and will be held at the town's school, though the location for the Brattleboro meeting hasn't yet been determined.
Each town's vote has been deemed "necessary" to the merger plan. That means that if one town votes against it, the merger can't happen.
That would initiate a scramble to come up with a new Act 46 plan to meet state deadlines. Jill Stahl Tyler, an Act 46 Study Committee member who chairs the Brattleboro Town School Board, said her board already has decided to look into "any other alternative [merger] structures that anyone else is thinking of."
That's not a lack of confidence in the current plan, she said. Rather, it's a matter of "being prudent in case it doesn't go through."

I enjoy Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars miniatures game. It's kind of like a roleplaying game with just the fights. Now, I like playing a character as much as the next person, but there's something compelling about reducing the experience down to a quick-setup board game. Plus, you need fewer players. I don't know about you, but I only get a couple nights a month to roleplay and it's hard getting the whole gang together.
Regardless, I particularly like the "Dark Times" era of Star Wars history. This is the time between Episode III and IV, when the few remaining Jedi are on the run and villainy reigns. Why do I like this so much? Because this is the only time that Jedi aren't the top dogs. Between Vader's bounty hunters, the 501st Legion and Mandalorian Jedi hunters, it's not a good time to be a wielding the old light saber.
For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times. Before the Empire. But the Jedi have fallen, and sinister forces control the galaxy . . . the dark times are here.
Re-enact and create your own battles from the dark times between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope! Collect Chewbacca, A'Sharad Hett, Major Veers, IG-88, Boushh, and all your other favorite characters from the Star Wars universe!

MTA New York City Transit today opened the enhanced Bay Ridge Ave in Brooklyn, and further announced that the MTA's Capital Plan now includes $40 million for ADA-accessibility projects at the 77 St and Bay Ridge-95 St stations on the line. The Capital Plan, which was amended this summer, now includes funding for four accessibility projects in Bay Ridge at 59th Street, 77th Street, 86th Street and Bay Ridge-95th Street.
The enhanced Bay Ridge station opening today features countdown clocks at each of its three entrances, enhanced LED lighting, WiFi connectivity, new digital displays throughout the station, USB ports, and an upgraded security system in the 102-year-old station. In the fare control area, glass barriers have replaced metal bars, enhancing sightlines and allowing more light to enter the station. One of the station's entrances features a new canopy. Other upgrades include wayfinding floor tiles for the visually-impaired, new handrails, stair treads, wall tiles, and granite flooring. Pictures of the new Bay Ridge station can be found here, and pictures of the old Bay Ridge station can be seen here.
Completed in less than six months, the Bay Ridge station opening comes just a month after the re-opening of the 53 St station on the line, making it the second of 33 stations to undergo extensive, accelerated renovations to create new and improved design standards for subway stations and undertake extensive renovations across the city. The Bay Ridge station was first opened on September 13, 1915.
As part of the MTA's recent Capital Plan amendment passed this summer, the Authority will now make the 77 St and Bay Ridge-95 St stations ADA-accessible. The Capital Plan amendment includes $40 million in new funding for these projects. The Capital Plan also includes funding to make the 86 St and 59 St stations ADA-accessible. In all, the 2015-2019 Capital Plan includes over $125 million for accessibility on the line. The first contract for these accessibility projects will be awarded later this year by the MTA.
"This station opening is a huge benefit for Bay Ridge, delivering subway customers new tools to manage their commute, including countdown clocks, Wi-Fi connectivity and USB ports, as well as an enhanced station with better lighting, improved signage and new art," said MTA Chairman Joseph J. Lhota. "We are also proud to announce that our newly amended Capital Plan now includes new funding for four fully accessible, ADA-compliant stations in Bay Ridge - which will deliver a level of accessibility to this neighborhood that has never existed before."
The Enhanced Station Initiative (ESI) program builds upon a larger campaign aimed at improving the New York City Transit system. The MTA is undertaking component and renewal work at more than 170 other stations. This station was completed under a design-build contract which designates a single team to be responsible for the design and construction of an entire project. Design-build ensures seamless coordination between all contractors on a project so that work is completed in the shortest possible time frame. The MTA is utilizing design-build for all 33 stations that are a part of this initiative.
The station also includes new mosaic artwork, commissioned by MTA Arts & Design. Artist Katy Fischer has created abstract shapes that convey an expansive sense of time. Strata references local history using imagined artifacts inspired by objects that could have been unearthed during the Bay Ridge Avenue's station's excavation in the early 20th century. The hand-glazed ceramic forms evoke items such as bone fish hooks used by the Lenape, Delft pottery shards of early Dutch settlers, and Colonial era tools and shoe buckles. Tiffany vases and railroad spikes mark the transition from farmland to residential community with the arrival of the subway. To aid in wayfinding, the contrasting background colors refer to the cyclical rhythms of the daily commute.
Senator Marty Golden, Senate Representative on the MTA Capital Program Review Board: "The Enhanced Station Initiative is proving to be an effective strategy to improve subway stations and modernize our transit system. I am confident that commuters will greatly benefit from the enhanced lighting, countdown clocks, improved signage, Wi-Fi connectivity and security cameras. Additionally, after many discussions with the MTA I am proud to announce that their new capital plan includes funding for ADA compliance of local subway stations. When work is completed, it will be easier and safer for commuters with disabilities to utilize the 53rd, 77th, 86th and 95th Street Stations. Our community deserves a transit system that is reliable, safe and accessible for all New Yorkers. I want to thank MTA chairman Joe Lhota and his team for responding to the concerns of our community and taking action to improve and modify our transit system."
Borough President Eric Adams: "I'm pleased to see the Bay Ridge Avenue R station reopen for the straphangers of Bay Ridge. Greater investment in our mass transit infrastructure is critically needed across our borough to advance the safety and reliability of service, and this design enhancement campaign is a step toward that larger imperative. Moreover, it is particularly appreciated that today's announcement also comes with much-needed and long-overdue capital investment for accessibility projects at the 59th Street, 77th Street, 86th Street, and Bay Ridge - 95th Street stations along the R line. Improving transit access for seniors and people with disabilities across our borough has been a top priority of my administration, making this welcome news for me and for riders across southwest Brooklyn."
Congressman Daniel M. Donovan, Jr.: "Today's grand opening is great news for South Brooklyn commuters. The MTA did great work on this station redesign to improve the commuting experience, and I thank my friend, MTA Chairman Joe Lhota, for his leadership. In addition to the Bay Ridge station upgrades, the MTA is also improving accessibility for other South Brooklyn subway stops, ensuring all of our friends and neighbors can use mass transit." Assistant Speaker Felix W. Ortiz: "Today's station reopening at Bay Ridge Avenue marks another step in the redevelopment of our mass transit system, I am also very happy to report that the MTA approved an investment in their MTA capital budget for ADA Accessibility in the following stations along the R Line Stops, 59th, 77th, 86th, and 95th Street. We still have a long way to go to improve our subways, and I look forward to working with MTA Chairman Joe Lhota on those improvements."
Council Member Vincent J. Gentile: "Today, after six months of work by the MTA, we can announce the re-opening of the newly renovated Bay Ridge Avenue subway station. And, while we celebrate the redesign and new amenities, we remain committed to working with the MTA to fix ongoing issues"
Assemblymember Pamela Harris: "The Bay Ridge Avenue station is a critical connection point that connects residents to the rest of the city. The renovations to this station were overdue and will ensure the people of Bay Ridge have a safe and comfortable transportation option. I applaud everyone involved with this project, including MTA Chair Joe Lhota for delivering for the people of Bay Ridge."
