Three Potential Bargains In MLB Free Agency: Lohse, K-Rod And Thome/Hafner Tandem
Sunday, January 27th, 2013
Like us on Facebook here
Sam Evans (Baseball Writer): Follow @RJA206
Travis Hafner, Francisco Rodriguez, and Kyle Lohse have all shown that they can be above-average Major League players. However, with all three above the age of 30, teams are nervous to sign any of them to the multi-year contracts they want. Hafner has dealt with knee and back injuries over the past two seasons, but he still can bring power to an American League team in need of a DH. Francisco Rodriguez has always dealt with off the field issues, but he was very effective as Milwaukee's set-up man in 2012. Kyle Lohse, who is coming off a season in which he posted a 3.51 FIP in 211, is the top free agent pitcher on the market right now but his age and inconsistency scares away possible suitors. Despite their age, inconsistency, and injuries, all three of these players could play a large role on MLB teams in 2013.
Travis Hafner Highlights – Mature Lyrics so Parental Guidance is advised:
Travis Hafner has over 200 career HRs and he posted his highest BB% (12.5%) since 2007 in 2012. However, he hasn't hit 20 HRs in a single-season since 2007 and he only played in 66 games last year. That's not to say Hafner still can't provide value to a team, whether it be coming off the bench or sharing a platoon role. Hafner has only had two seasons in his 10-year MLB career when he posted a wRC+ under 100, the last being in 2008. Nonetheless, Hafner is probably only a Designated Hitter at this point, so his options are pretty meek.
Hafner, who has expressed interest in returning to the Indians, hasn't gotten much, if any, interest from teams other than Cleveland. According to Jon Heyman, there is a chance that former Cleveland stars Jim Thome and Hafner could be reunited to share duties as the team's DH in 2013. While a couple of years ago it would seem insane that Hafner would be forced to share the DH role, it looks like that might be the best offer he can get in 2013. Even though both Hafner and Thome hit Right-Handed pitchers better than Lefties, Hafner has considerably better numbers against Lefties than Thome does in comparison (.197 to .179). If you combined the two guys totals, it comes to be 20 HRs and 59 RBI in just 382 AB – but they would also have 57 Walks. They only hit about .240 combined, however their OBP was still .352 combined- with an OPS of .792. They would provide similar production to what most DH's do for the AL teams.
Perhaps if Cleveland platooned the two and just told Hafner to concentrate on hitting primarily Left-Handed Pitchers, he could stay healthy for the entire season. Travis Hafner is still an above-average MLB hitter, he just needs to find the right scenario, in which he won't be playing everyday and he'll be where can help mentor the team's younger hitters.
If I were running a Major League franchise this offseason and planning on contending, I wouldn't think twice about signing Francisco Rodriguez. Sure, he's old, and problems seem to follow him every where he goes, but his numbers in the second half of 2012 suggest that he still has a lot left in the tank. Rodriguez had 32 holds in 2012, tied for third in all of baseball. Even though he struggled when given the closer role, his next team will likely be using him as a set-up man instead of a closer. After the All-Star break, Rodriguez had a 10.26 K/9, a 3.78 BB/9, and a 3.24 FIP. Those are pretty dominant numbers, especially considering that Rodriguez was pitching in the pitcher's nightmare that is Miller Park. Rodriguez probably won't get more than a 1 year deal, but whichever team signs him will be lucky they did.
Kyle Lohse has either had terrible luck this offseason, or MLB teams know something about him that we don't. It seems absurd that a pitcher who threw over 200 innings with a sub 3.00 ERA in 2012 can't find a team willing to pay him. The most impressive statistic about Lohse's 2012 season was his BB/9. Lohse's BB/9 of 1.62 was third in baseball amongst pitchers with 200 or more innings. Sure, it's odd that Lohse's most productive season to date came at age 34, but maybe he just put everything together last season? I can see why a team wouldn't want to sign Lohse for more than two years, but he should be worth a fair amount of money during that time. For Lohse, whose agent is Scott Boras, teams are also scared to sign him because they'd have to give up a draft pick. Still, Lohse could find a new home in Texas or Colorado, if either team decides he's worth the price.
Overall, it will be very exciting to see how which teams these players will sign with, and how they will perform in 2013. Even though they are all veterans, so we've seen the highs and lows of their career, none of these three is easy to foretell heading into the new season. However, if any of these guys finds the right team, they could end up being one of the top free agent bargains of the 2012-2013 offseason.

Solutions of random problems I have encountered.
Random Culprits
Folding@home with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 on Ubuntu
For a month I've been contemplating getting a power-efficient, dedicated GPU for Folding@home. After some research, I ended up getting a Gigabyte GTX 960 WindForce 2X OC. The main reasons behind my choice among other GTX 960 variants were the quiet cooler and that this GPU draws well below the maximum power available from its PCIe slot and thus it doesn't stress the motherboard's power circuitry. Instead it feeds itself from two 6-pin PCIe power connectors. If you have similar deliberations, here's how it does at Folding@home on Ubuntu 14.04:
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 960 WindForce 2X OC
Temp: 64 C
Noise: Very quiet. I can only hear the other video card.
Note that this is a secondary GPU, so no graphics are rendered on it. If you're running it as primary, your PPD will be lower. In order to get the new GPU working, I had to install the NVIDIA 346 driver, which I did by rebuilding the 346 packages from the xorg-edgers PPA on my system. You can learn how to that here. This method is not trivial but it works and it avoids both upgrade issues, as well as replacing your whole xorg stack with an unstable version.
HOWTO: Automatically disable pointer acceleration whenever mouse is plugged
If you're like me, you often use a mouse with your laptop and while you like pointer acceleration with your touchpad, you can't stand it with your mouse. I've gotten used to just hitting Alt+F2 and typing "xset m 1/1" but today I decided to break from this habit and to find a more intelligent way to do this. I've done some digging which resulted in a Q&A on askubuntu.com, detailing how to disable pointer acceleration whenever a mouse is plugged in your machine. You can find it here. Enjoy a smarter, acceleration-free mousing!
WORKAROUND: Streams on thecomedynetwork.ca Don't Start on Ubuntu
I'm a fan of The Daily Show and as a Canadian I watch it on The Comedy Network's web site http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca . The video streams used to work on Ubuntu for a while, then they suddenly ceased starting. Not sure why but if I have to guess I reckon it's some change in the DRM they use. There is a similarly looking issue with Google Play movie rentals. For a while I've been using Firefox via CrossOver which worked fine except the performance was bad. The streams don't work in Chromium either. However today I tried Google Chrome and surprise - they work!
So if you want to watch video streams on thecomedynetwork.ca - use Google Chrome.
vpnmon - A VPN connection monitor for Ubuntu
The Problem
Most of us using a VPN connection to our workplace have had the secure connection occasionally drop. When that occurs and we don't notice, all of the connections applications make to our office go unsecured and become prone to malicious snooping. More often than not we cannot afford that, which is why we never leave a computer connected via VPN unattended or we employ other inconvenient schemes to avoid information leakage.
What we have here is a simple open source tool for Ubuntu that monitors the state of your VPN connection. Whenever your connections drops, vpnmon will either immediately disable your entire networking, or it will execute a custom command in case you provided one. The tool will also display a notification whenever it takes an action.
Dependenciesvpnmon should work fine on any Linux distribution that satisfies its dependencies. In general it needs python, gobject, dbus, NetworkManager and pynotify. There isn't any sort of dependency checking mechanism at this time, so running Ubuntu is considered a requirement. This requirement makes sure all dependencies are satisfied. Naturally, if you know what you're doing, you don't need to stick to it.
Getting The Software
Unfortunately I haven't packaged vpnmon for Ubuntu yet, but I may end up doing that in the future. For now you can follow the steps below. They were tested on Ubuntu 12.04, but should also work on most recent version as well:
Make sure to test it out and make sure it works before leaving your VPN connection unattended. That's about it!
The source for vpnmon can be found here. Please do not hesitate to fork it, modify it or do whatever else permissible by the license. You can also email me if you encounter any issues I may be able to help with.
HOWTO: Workaround Quake Live not Working in a Firefox Window under Linux
It seems that a change in Firefox 17 broke the windowed mode of Quake Live. Whenever one tries to join a game, nothing displays in the designated are within the browser, but the game works since sounds can be heard. That seems to be caused by a regression in Firefox tracked in this bug report. Fortunately there is a dedicated browser bundle called QLPrism. It's made by the folks at www.qlprism.us. QLPrism is an older version of Firefox that directly launches the Quake Live web site. It also features a few nice additions such as a customized match browser. So in short, to get Quake Live working again:
I tried QLPrism as a workaround to the Firefox bug, but now I like it better than using the standard browser!
HOWTO: Workaround the Startup Disk Creator Crash on Ubuntu 12.10
I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 myself just to find that Startup Disk Creator is broken. It crashes before completing a USB startup disk. Turns out it's a bug and it has already been reported. Fortunately there is a simple workaround until this bug is fixed. Use UNetbootin:
Now you can launch UNetbootin and make your USB startup disk. I hope Canonical manages to fix the crash soon so we won't need to do this.
Make your Android 4 Device Feel Twice Faster
Most actions we execute on Android follow a transition animation. Whether it's an app activity that switches to another, or menu popping up. Most of the time the underlying activity or menu has already loaded but you have to wait for the transition animation to finish before you get to use it. These transitions are great. Transitionless interface looks incredibly clunky and feels unnatural to the human brain because nothing in the real world happens in an instant. Obviously people trained to use computer interfaces in the Windows 1.0-XP era will disagree, but so we can disagree that they have normal human brains. So in Android 4.0 (and I think in 4.1) Google placed a setting that controls the transition animations duration. Halve the duration and your device begins to feel twice faster while preserving its natural look. To do that follow these steps:
Now you have halved your transitions lengths, effectively making your device feel twice faster.
Ubuntu Boots in Low Graphics Mode When it Runs Out of Disk Space
I recently encountered a problem where Ubuntu would boot in Low Graphics Mode and it wouldn't log in for no apparent reason. Logs showed no errors, older kernel did not change a thing. The system showed absolutely no other symptoms of a problem. After a lot of testing and investigation it turned out that the disk was completely full. That caused the aforementioned behaviour. If you ever run into this, make sure to check your disk usage from a console:
If it turns out that your disk is full, free up some space and reboot your machine - all should return to normal afterwards.
du -h
This may sound like a really rare problem, however with the recent proliferation of SSDs, people end up buying small drives due to their lower price tags. That was my case as well. Those usually come in 60-120GB sizes and that's not a lot. With current high definition media formats, a disk of that size can be filled in no time.
Ubuntu Wallpapers from Past Releases
I am a little unimpressed with the wallpapers shipped with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. That prompted my interest in finding an easy way of obtaining wallpapers from past Ubuntu releases. I launched Ubuntu Software Center and typed "wallpaper" in the search box. Nothing apparently useful showed up. Not until I clicked on "Show technical items". It turns out that there are packages containing the wallpapers from almost all of the past Ubuntu releases.
For Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) and later, the packages are called:
For earlier releases they are named:
So for example if you wish to install the wallpapers that came with Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) you need to install:
And if you want to install the ones from Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) you need to get:
You can use your favourite package management tool to install those.
That Edgy wallpaper looks truly retro - Back to Brown!
The Recommended Way to Use QThread
Reaching this page, you are likely looking for information on how to use QThread. Right. The page gives plenty of information on what the class is about and how to use it, including some code samples.
The problem is, the usage is wrong.The documentation recommends sub-classing QThread and that's where it goes wrong. It's not until you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page where you see a note showing you the right way to use QThread. Sub-classing QThread is neither needed, nor recommended. Thus, I strongly encourage you to visit that page scroll to the bottom and review the note. You will find a handy snippet of code showing you how to do it right.

Some new photos from the filming in Iceland in November and December have turned up, courtesy of the Location Guide—a site specializing in covering and promoting foreign locations for film and television purposes—and Pegaus Productions, the local production company that faciliated the filming.
Among the notable production details: 200 crew and 15 horses, minimal need for building anything, and snowfall was needed to minimize costs (a lack of snow would have meant they'd have to film on the glacier itself, which would take longer and be more expensive, and would also have revealed ash from a recent volcanic eruption).
We should note that at least one of the images is potentially a spoiler if you've not read A Clash of Kings, so if you don't want to be spoiled… well, don't look!
Some truly epic landscapes in Iceland, without a doubt. The image of two men of the Night's Watch against the fog-covered hills and peaks—amazing .We get some glimpses of the wildlings, as well, wearing furs that are not dissimilar to traditional Inuit garments. It should make an interesting look, although we think it may get a bit tired (visually) if the production doesn't work in some variations (in color, if nothing else, using different kinds of fur) to mark out different groups of wildlings and significant characters.

Tentative Board Decisions
Tentative Board decisions are provided for those interested in following the Board's deliberations. All of the reported decisions are tentative and may be changed at future Board meetings.
February 26, 2014 FASB Board MeetingAccounting for Financial Instruments—Classification and Measurement. The Board continued redeliberating the proposed Accounting Standards Update, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, specifically discussing (1) the need for a contractual cash flow characteristics assessment and (2) a fair value option for hybrid financial assets.
Cash Flow Characteristics Assessment
The Board decided not to incorporate a test to assess the cash flow characteristics of financial assets. In addition, the Board decided to require equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized in net income (FV-NI), except for certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and those that qualify for the practicability exception to fair value measurement.
The Board asked the staff to identify any financial assets that, because of their complexity or risk profile, should be measured at FV-NI. The Board would consider the classification and measurement for those instruments at a future meeting.
Fair Value Option for Hybrid Financial Instruments
The Board decided to allow a fair value option for hybrid financial instruments (both assets and liabilities) only when the entity has determined that the instruments contain embedded derivative features requiring bifurcation and separate accounting.
Development Stage Entities. The Board redeliberated the November 2013 Exposure Draft, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The Board affirmed the changes in the Exposure Draft, in which it proposed to:
- Eliminate the requirement for a development stage entity (DSE) to present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder's equity.
- Eliminate the remaining presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 and amend Topic 275, Risk and Uncertainties, clarifying that the risk and uncertainty disclosure requirements should apply to entities that have not begun operations.
- Eliminate the guidance on variable interest entities for DSEs in paragraph 810-10-15-16.
- Because the effect of those decisions is to eliminate from U.S. GAAP any special reporting by DSEs, to remove the definition of development stage entity from the Codification.
- For inception-to-date information and the remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915—The changes should be applied retrospectively, with the benefit of hindsight for any new disclosure requirements that are a result of clarifying Topic 275. For public business entities, the changes will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. For other entities, the changes will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Entities will be allowed to early apply the changes as of the first annual or interim period following the issuance of a final Accounting Standards Update.
- For the elimination of paragraph 810-10-15-16—Public business entities should apply the amended guidance retrospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. For other entities, the amended guidance should be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early application will be permitted for any annual or interim period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.
Not-for-Profit Financial Reporting—Financial Statements. The Board continued deliberations, making the following decisions.
Presentation of Revenue, Expenses, and Other Changes in Net Assets
- A not-for-profit (NFP) entity would continue to be allowed to present revenues, expenses, and other changes in net assets using a one- or two-statement approach.
- An NFP entity (other than a business-oriented healthcare entity that is required by paragraph 954-225-45-4 to present a performance indicator) would be required to present the intermediate measure of current operations. The Board directed the staff to undertake additional outreach with stakeholders from the healthcare industry.
- An NFP entity that reports an intermediate measure of operations would no longer be required (under paragraph 958-225-45-10) to report that measure in a statement that also reports the change in unrestricted net assets for the period.
- An NFP entity would not be required to report a specific subtotal before the intermediate measure of current operations.
An NFP entity would be required to include a net presentation of investment expenses against investment return on the face of the statement of activities, with the types and amounts of investment expenses disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
The Board directed the staff to conduct additional research on what types of investment-related fees and other investment expenses would be required to be disclosed as investment expense.

Answers "a" and "b"
Answers "b" or "c"

Answers and Discussion
1. d, Sec. 620-13, 620-14, 620-61(b)(1); 430-24 Ex. 1, Table 430-22(a) Ex. The motors are taken as being used for intermittent duty, and continuous duty motors used for intermittent duty get figured at 140% for all instead of the customary 125% of just the largest motor. Referring to the ampere ratings in Table 430-150, this means taking nine 65A motors and one 77A motor, all at 140%, for a total of 927A. Note that we are actually using the nameplate loads (per Sec. 430-22(a) Ex. 1), because that is the number you should bring into Table 430-22(a) Ex. instead of the customary Table 430-150 values. To this total, Table 620-14 allows a 72% demand factor, which reduces the motor load to 667A. The control circuits are continuous and taken at 125%, or 10A each, for an overall total ampacity requirement of 767A.
2. e, Sec. 620-62, 620-51(d). The selective coordination rule applies because the feeder supplies more than one disconnect, in this case a total of 10. The identification requirements are new in the 1996 NEC.
3. e, Sec. 620-85; 210-7(a). The receptacles need to be grounded and resettable at their location, in order to minimize the necessity for service personnel needing to get off the top of the elevator car to reset a remote protective device.
4. d, Sec. 625-2. Although all of the vehicles listed are electric, none of them are for highway use. Only electric vehicles for highway use come within the new Art. 625, and then only for their charging equipment. The vehicle and all its contained circuitry are beyond the scope of the NEC, as excluded in Sec. 90-2(b)(1).
5. b, Table 625-29(c). The ventilation requirement follows the number of charging bays in addition to the capacity of the charging circuits. Most vehicle battery systems emit hydrogen during the charging process, and it has to be removed in order to prevent hazardous accumulations.
6. f, Sec. 695-8(a-b). EMT is off limits for interior fire pump circuit wiring, and the preferred method of routing the conductors is still based on Art. 230. However, on the load side of an overcurrent device, we don't need to protect the building from the conductors; we only need to protect the conductors from the building. The electrical circuit protective systems are designed to do exactly that, so either approach is valid.

Janet Jackson says she is open to the idea of getting married again and that she's putting her relationship future in the hands of a higher power – or, in five years, she jokingly told Access Hollywood she might take director Tyler Perry's hand in marriage!
Access Hollywood caught up with Janet and Tyler at the junket for "Why Did I Get Married Too?" on Tuesday morning, where Janet explained her approach to future trips down the aisle.
"If it's God's will," Janet told Access when asked if she would ever marry again.
"That's a nice way of saying, 'Nope!'" Tyler joked.
"No, really, truly, if it is God's will, if it's in my cards, then yeah, it's going to happen," Janet, who previously dated music producer Jermaine Dupri and was married to Rene Elizondo, explained.
When Access joked that maybe Janet and longtime bachelor Tyler should consider matrimony if they're both still single in 10 years, the duo didn't say no.
"That wouldn't be too bad," Tyler said. "Ten years, we gotta wait that long?"
"Five?" Janet offered, adding, "[But,] you don't want to change the diapers."
"We're rich, we can have people change diapers for us," Tyler joked.
On Monday night, Janet walked the red carpet at the "Why Did I Get Married Too?" New York premiere with sister Rebbie by her side, where the actress/singer told Access that working through the pain of Michael's death in her emotionally charged scenes helped her heal.
"There were moments where it definitely came out," Janet, who found out about her brother's sudden death while filming the dramedy, explained. "Venting in that way, very therapeutic."
"Why Did I Get Married Too?" opens in theaters on April 2.

text: Edward Sullivan was part of two of the greatest hockey teams in Boston State College history and played an integral part in both of them. The forward began his career as the sixth-leading point-scorer on the Warriors' undefeated team from 1965-66 that posted a 20-0-0 mark and was the second-leading scorer for the Boston State edition that advanced to the NAIA National Championship tournament in 1968. Sullivan finished that season with 29 points on 16 goals and 13 assists and finished his career with 52 goals and 50 assists for 102 points in 93 games to rank ninth on the school's career goals list, 10th in games played, 15th in points and 17th in assists. A four-year letterman, he saw time on the first line penalty kill and power play units his entire career and helped the Warriors to a four-year mark of 58-32-1, including four straight Codfish Bowl titles. Sullivan was named to the 1968 Codfish Bowl All-Tournament team and is one of just three players in history to have had a hand in four of the tournament's championships. He was named captain for his final season and finished his career with 1.10 points per game. Following his graduation from Boston State in 1969, his playing days continued with action in the New England and the Southern New England Amateur leagues for eight years. Sullivan also shared his hockey knowledge as the Varsity Hockey Coach at Lowell High School and is currently the Principal and Founder of Tricon Sports in Lexington, MA.

Galway Public Nursing Homes in Ireland
Please browse through the Galway Public Nursing Homes listed above to find the Nursing Home to suit your loved one.
For residents, their families and the public:
Q 1. What is the inspection and registration of nursing homes about?
From 1 July 2009, the Social Services Inspectorate within the Health Information and Quality Authority are responsible for the registration and inspection of all public and private nursing homes and residential care services for older people. They register and inspect to see if nursing homes are safe and that residents are being cared for properly. For the first time, HSE-run centres, as well as, private and voluntary nursing homes are subject to independent registration and inspection.
Q 2. Do all nursing homes have to be registered?
Yes. By law, all nursing home services in the public, private and voluntary
sectors have to be registered (to ensure they are able to provide such services
in the
first instance) and inspected (in order to ensure they are maintaining standards required to operate and are continuously upholding high standards) by the Social Services Inspectorate of the Health Information and Quality Authority.
Q 3. Why are HIQA conducting inspections?
Inspections occur to check that residents in nursing homes are safe and are well looked after. Inspections also provide information to residents, their families, and the general public about the standards of care in individual nursing homes. The aim of inspection is to make sure that poor services are not allowed to operate, and to support those nursing homes that provide good, person-centred care.
Q 4. Are there standards of care that nursing homes and residential centres should comply with?
Yes. The Health Information and Quality Authority has developed specific standards
for the operation of nursing homes and residential centres in consultation with
who use services and those who provide them. These are called the National Quality Standards for Residential Care Settings for Older People in Ireland, and they have
been mandated by the Minister for Health and Children. HIQA inspect against these standards and against regulations set by the Department of Health and Children.
Q 5. Who carries out the inspections?
Inspections are carried out by inspectors from the Social Services Inspectorate
of the Health Information and Quality Authority. All inspectors are fully trained
of the Authority and have a wide range of relevant professional experience.
Q 6. How are inspections carried out?
Inspections are announced or unannounced and can be held during the day or night. Inspectors talk with managers, staff and interested people and also talk with residents (residents who do not wish to speak to inspectors do not have to) and their families. Inspectors focus on the experience of the resident living in the nursing home and what it is like to live there. An inspection report is produced by the Authority after each inspection.
Q 7. Is the inspection process totally independent of the Health Service Executive and private nursing home operators?
Yes, inspectors report to the Chief Inspector of Social Services within the Health Information Quality Authority.
Q 8. What kind of information is contained in inspection reports?
Inspection reports give factual information and highlight where standards of care are well met, as well as where improvements are required. They are published on the Authority's website. Inspection reports give the residential care centre's location, and outline the number of places there and general facilities. They also outline the findings of the inspection and comment on all areas of the service. Any necessary actions required on the part of the provider are clearly indicated in the report. The reports are fair and reflect all aspects of the service that is being provided. These inspection reports provide information to the residents themselves, their families and the general public about the standards of care in individual centres.
Q 9. Can I read HIQA's inspection reports?
Inspection reports are published on the Health Information and Quality Authority's website, http://www.hiqa.ie. They are published shortly after each inspection.
Q 10. What actions can be taken if a nursing home is not meeting your standards or the regulations?
As outlined in the Health Act 2007 HIQA have the power to seek legal enforcement of recommendations and sanctions in the event of non-compliance. Actions which can be taken in the interests of the residents living in the nursing home include:
•Requiring that changes to the service be made and then checking that
these improvements are carried out, changing the operating conditions of that
(the number, type or category of resident they may accommodate).
•Prosecuting for offences under the Health Act 2007, such as failing to comply with a condition of registration, cancelling registration of a centre so it will no longer be able to operate.
If inspectors come across a situation which poses an urgent risk to residents, which the owner is unwilling or unable to correct urgently, the Authority can take emergency action to address the situation.Every effort is made to ensure residents of nursing homes are not inconvenienced.
However, if a nursing home does not comply with laws, arrangements may have to be made for residents to be moved to a different nursing home, which does comply with these laws and provides safe quality care.

For the love of pete, please say it ain't so! What the heck is this world coming to? How do you define America - Baseball, Mom, Apple Pie, and the Girl Scout cookie (Thin mints, thank you very much).
Yes, it's that time of year again, ladies and gentleman. It's the time of year where all is right with the world. Yes, there's a war on terror going on. Yes, there is poverty and hunger taking place across the world. But, to escape this reality, what do we have? We have the Girl Scout cookie.
People think I'm nuts - and they may be right. But, if you want to properly participate in binge eating (as I do sometimes), then you need the Girl Scout cookie (Thin mints, thank you very much).
But, alas, friends and neighbors. As I was scanning the news today, I ran across a story which stopped me in my tracks. A story which made me cry out, "Oh no! The Girl Scouts caved in, too!"
Beginning this year, ALL Girl Scout cookies will be trans fat free. (Apparently, some GS brands are already trans fat free.) According to this AP article, the scouts want "to add an element of health consciousness to their annual bake sale."
Initial feedback has been positive, said Anna Ho, who organizes sales for Troop 805 in Parsippany, N.J.Uh, excuse me? But, if I was going to choose something healthy, I would not choose GS cookies. I would choose something like fruits and veggies to snack on.
"People are saying, 'It's about time,' said Ho. "Everybody is conscious of the trans-fat issue ... My own sister used to rub me in the ribs sometimes and say, 'When are you going to go healthy?'"
This is an appeal to the Girl Scout leadership. Please, please, please leave in the trans fats in your products. How could I ever live without those darn trans fats in my favorite Girl Scout cookies? (Thin mints, Thank you very much!)

Piment d'Espelette A.O.C. - 50gr pkg.
With origins in the Americas, the pepper Capsicum annuum L. var. gorria was successfully transplanted to the Basque region of France, and the tradition of drying the peppers took root. The fresh espelette pepper has a length ranging between 7 and 14 cm. The plants are sown in March and harvested by hand in August, or when the peppers are red on at least 80% of their surface. Immediately after harvest, they are sorted by hand and only the quality peppers are used for the AOC product (AOC was granted in 2000).
The drying process involves threading at least 20 peppers by the stalk onto a cord which will then be laid out or hung to dry in a hot and ventilated location. During this phase, the peppers are dehydrated slowly and continue their maturation as they turn a deep red color. As they dry, the peppers develop their characteristic aroma and concentrated heat. Once sufficiently dried, the peppers will be crushed using techniques handed down for generations within each family.
This resulting pepper has an orange color with red flecks which gives a fruity perfume and a medium heat (4 on the Scoville scale).
Please note our spices are listed by volume, not weight, unless otherwise specified.

RICHMOND — Actor and social justice advocate Danny Glover has come out in favor of Richmond's controversial local ballot measure to tax sugar-sweetened beverages, according to a news release issued early Wednesday by tax supporters.
Glover, 66, a veteran of Hollywood blockbusters and a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, said the 1-cent-per-ounce fee on businesses that sell sugar-added drinks and a companion measure advising city officials to use proceeds on sports and nutrition programs are good steps toward improving health, particularly in low-income minority communities.
"The science is there, and the community is fighting for kids' health," Glover said in the news release.
Richmond's City Council voted 5-2 earlier this year to place Measure N on the November ballot. The measure would charge businesses 1-cent-per-ounce on sales of sugary drinks, like soda. The tax does not apply to beverages that have no added caloric sweeteners.
Measure O is the nonbinding advisory measure to fund sport programs and other anti-obesity efforts with the proceeds from the tax, which could generate about $3 million annually.
Glover's publicist did not respond to emails Wednesday. Glover's Twitter feed, which has almost 1.5 million followers, had made no mention of the Richmond tax as of Wednesday afternoon.
Jeff Ritterman, the former cardiologist and city councilman who has become the leading proponent of Measures N and O, said he secured Glover's endorsement onSaturday, when he saw the actor at a fundraising event in Oakland's Rockridge area for the Aristide Foundation, a Haitian health and development venture.
"I asked Danny for his endorsement, and he told me yes and that he was following the Richmond Soda Tax," Ritterman posted to his Facebook page the next day. "He gave us permission to publicize his endorsement of the Richmond Soda Tax, Yes on N!"
The issue has drawn increasing national attention, as Richmond could become the nation's first city to impose a per-ounce tax on sodas and other sugary drinks. El Monte, a Los Angeles area suburb, has followed suit, with its council putting an identical tax on its November ballot.
The measures, along with unsuccessful bids in Philadelphia and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's push to ban the sale of super-sized sodas in the Big Apple, are part of a new public health push that puts soda in a similar category with cigarettes — labeling it a costly menace to public health that should be reduced through taxation and regulation.
Ritterman said he is not done appealing to big-name potential supporters. He is scheduled to meet in Philadelphia with that city's mayor, Michael Nutter, on Saturday.
In Richmond, the national attention and celebrity endorsements are up against the powerful American Beverage Association (ABA) and a coalition of local groups who see the tax as paternalistic, regressive and racially divisive. The local anti-tax campaign spent more than $350,000 through July 31, more than 50 times the spending by the pro-tax groups.
Joe Fisher, treasurer of the Bay Area Political Action Committee (BAPAC) and an opponent of the tax, said Glover's endorsement means little.
"The pro-tax side hasn't been successful in getting local African-Americans to sign on to this, so they have to go to Hollywood to get an African-American actor to stand with them," Fisher said.
There is some division within the city's large African-American voting block over the issue. The local NAACP has joined groups like BAPAC and Black Women Organized for Political Action (BWOPA) in opposing the tax.
Meanwhile, Blacks Mobilizing, Organizing and Educating Richmond (B-MOER) and the Rev. Alvin Bernstine, a prominent African-American pastor, have expressed support.
Anti-tax spokesman Chuck Finnie, who is contracted by the ABA, said the tax will hurt businesses and siphon money from Richmond's poorest residents.
Glover was born in San Francisco and is among the most outspoken and politically engaged actors in mainstream movies. He is famous in part for his starring roles in the "Lethal Weapon" film series, "Mandela," "Beloved" and "The Color Purple."
According to the news release, which came from the "Fit for Life" campaign, Glover said, "I come from a basic family of working-class people who worked very hard and had solid values. It's important for people of color to link up with issues around food security, health and the environment. Big corporations that sell sugary drinks are profiting while our kids grow sick and overweight."

Vandalism that damaged at least 39 cars and a six-frame window at Coastal Carolina Regional Airport terminal earlier this month is still under investigation, officials said Friday.
Vandalism that damaged at least 39 cars and a six-frame window at Coastal Carolina Regional Airport terminal earlier this month is still under investigation, officials said Friday.
The incident occurred overnight Saturday to Sunday, April 6 to 7. It involved damage to windows, mirrors and at least one car�s sunroof by what appeared to have been rocks thrown at them while parked in the airport parking lot, said Capt. Joe Heckman of Craven County Sheriff�s Office.
Heckman said Friday afternoon that the case has been difficult because there are no video cameras zeroed in on the parking lot.
Heckman said several interviews have been conducted and a person of interest is being looked at.
Heckman said, �When the incident was reported on that Sunday, we had two deputies out there half of the day identifying damage and getting tag numbers of the cars. It looks like someone threw rocks and damaged 30 private vehicles and nine rental cars and a window on the airport terminal. It appears to be an act of juvenile vandalism.�
Tom Braaten, director of Coastal Carolina Regional Airport, said that is what was identified by airport staff and security.
�A large window with six panels surrounding it by the employee entrance is shattered,� he said. �It looks like it was hit by three rocks. Inside it is solid, but we have locked that entrance off in the event some glass would fall before repairs are made.
Heckman said, �It�s been an awkward investigation because all of the vehicles belonged to people who were away and as some of the people have come back over the course of the week or so following, we made contact with the victims.�
Heckman said there has been vandalism at the airport before, but nothing of this magnitude.

Madagascar: Newsline
Sponsoring scholarships for the most vulnerable girls
VANGAINDRANO, Madagascar, 9 March 2011 Yesterday marked the 100th anniversary of International Womens Day. This years theme Equal Access to Education, Training and Science and Technology: Pathway to Decent Work for Women focuses on promoting the education of women and girls worldwide.
Although the gender gap in education is closing, there are wide differences within and across countries, said United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and far too many girls are still denied schooling, leave prematurely or complete school with few skills and fewer opportunities.
Opportunity to study
As part of efforts to combat this, the Danish National Committee for UNICEF and the international organization Inner Wheel Denmark are sponsoring scholarships for the most vulnerable girls in the Vangaindrano school district in Madagascar, where the education gender gap is one of the highest in the country.
Bako, 12, from Ambohimidy, a remote village in southeast Madagascar, is one of the recipients. Her parents couldnt afford an education for all their children, but given Bakos slight handicap in one of her legs, she said, they decided to invest in mine, since they thought that the others are at least healthy enough to use their bodies to work.
Last academic year, Bakos parents had to borrow money to pay the school fees at Tsiately Junior Secondary school, and to buy notebooks and pens. If Bako hadnt received the scholarship, she would have dropped out of school. I am the only child in my family who really got to study, she said.
Investment in the future
When the Post-primary Education for Girls project started in Vangaindrano district in 2008, there were only 53 girls for every 100 boys enrolled in lower secondary in the district.
Registration and teacher fees limit access to education in the region and many children do not complete primary school. At junior secondary level, the disparities become even wider, as adolescence and cultural beliefs start to become an obstacle for girls to continue their schooling.
We started this project because we believe that investing in girls education, especially at the post-primary level, is one of the keys to achieving gender equality and development, said UNICEF Madagascar Education Chief Margarita Focas Licht.
Last year, Bako walked two hours every day to get to school. She missed some days because her leg became swollen and hurt too much to complete the daily journey, and she now has to repeat a grade. This year, she is staying at her aunts house close to school during the week in order to advance her studies. Bako also has a mentor, who helps plan the scholarship funding, encourages her and gives her advice.
Sometimes, its disturbing when boys tease me about the way I walk when I go up to the blackboard, she said. Its really nice that I have someone other than my mother who takes care of me.
Changing perceptions
Another adolescent Malagasy girl, Léoncine, 13, who is in seventh grade at Mahabe Junior Secondary School, is now on a path to a better future, as well. Raised by her grandmother, she worked last summer vacation through November in order to afford the school fees.
She only returned to school the following month, when she was finally able to pay. This year, the fees have gone up to 50,000 Ariary (about $25). Without the scholarship, I couldnt have continued school, said Léoncine.
For Fabiola, 14, also in seventh grade at the same school, the scholarship has helped change her parents attitude towards girls. One of 11 siblings, she was going to leave school this year so her younger brother could enter junior secondary. Fabiola was doing so well at school, however, that her mother tried to negotiate with her dad, but he said that supporting their son took priority.
So I was told If we cannot afford to send you to school this year, we are going to marry you off. I was really sad, as I didnt feel ready, she recalls.
When I learned that I would get the scholarship, I was so happy I ran to tell my mother, Fabiola went on. My parents were both very happy, and told me that I need to continue as far as possible.
The opportunity at an education has already had a profound effect. Fabiola now wants to become a high school teacher: I want to become a role model for others, the way my teacher is for me.

Going back to Connecticut was harder than being told that I was going to San Jose. It might have been the hardest thing to face in my sports career. Flying across the country, I knew that my chances of coming back to AAA were not good. Furthermore, the feeling that the Giants had given up on me overcame me. The dream that I had lived since I was a boy was falling apart. I had been given one game, and I didn't take advantage of it. As so often happens in this game, just as I had regained hope it had again been ripped away from me.(Here's a Baseball America article on that). This season has made me realize that I'm an organization arm. I'm simply a guy who can fill in at whatever level I'm needed, and it's not an easy thing to swallow, as this isn't my goal. Still, I've pitched against enough big league guys now to know that I can get them out. Over the past two years, only one person in the Giants' minor leagues has more wins than me: Madison Bumgarner. It's thoughts such as these that keep me going.
Do I have doubts? Yeah, all the time. I throw slower than almost any righthander at any level. I'm 27 now and have only a handful of AAA starts. I know that the chances of having a big league career are very, very slim.I'm not sure how much longer I can keep playing. Unless a person has some big league time, the minor leagues pay players so little that it is difficult to keep playing financially. I also have a wife that I have to think about. I love her dearly and I'm forced to be away from her for six months out of the year. She's very understanding, but I know how tough it is on her. It's tough on me.

The Chelsea in Fairfield: A New Chip Off the Old Block
Instantly familiar, yet completely new, Fairfield's six-week-young The Chelsea has already settled quite nicely into the dining scene. With an Unquowa Place address, a steady lunch and a boisterous evening crowd–it's practically a Fairfield County regular.
This is thanks in large part to a familiar and accomplished trio of owners responsible for creating many hot spots we know and love: Scott Beck, co-owner of Match and The Loft in South Norwalk; Matt Storch, Chef and co-owner of Match in South Norwalk; and Kevin McHugh, Co-Owner of Grey Goose in Southport and Spotted Horse in Westport.
Beyond the obvious street cred, the palpable success of the restaurant is found in the breeziness of its well-designed space (McHugh's cozy palette of reclaimed rough-sawn wood, white subway tiles and raw glass fixtures) paired with a globally-inspired menu long on classics. The Chelsea's menu is a witty take on many dishes we all know and love, combined with a consistency of quality that comes from veteran owners and chefs who know the Fairfield County appetite very well.
Although, as I am, you'll be wont to compare The Chelsea to Match since Matt Storch is behind much of the menu, you'll find that comparison flawed. The Chelsea is, in fact, its own beast. Named and inspired by the concept of a gastropub, hence its London neighborhood namesake, this stateside version has serious case of wanderlust. The Chelsea particularly likes to vacation in Southeast Asia, pulling in flavors from that region for several of its dishes including Banh Mi, a Noodle bowl, and a Ponzu-spiked salad. Storch and Chef de Cuisine Jeff Spence are clearly having fun with this global take on pub grub, with alternate stops in China (Calamari with General Tso's glaze), Mexico by way of Greece (Taco Salad with Mexican Spanikopita), Vietnam (Banh Mi) and a nod to the American South (Fried Chicken) and North (Lobster Roll).
The menu, identical for lunch and dinner, is artfully arranged on light wooden clipboards, broken up into three sections: "apps," "just tossed," "sandwiched" and "more substantial." This dining vernacular makes it easy for us to gauge our cravings and is further broken down into two sizes for lunch and dinner, or medium to large appetites. Enough with superlatives, let's dive into the menu.
What could be referred to as "Mexican Spanikopita," The Chelsea composes a singular, if modestly named, Mexican Salad. A tufted wedge of iceberg topped with avocado cream and accompanied by a scoop of guacamole, a smear of sour cream, and a tomato-olive tapenade. Perched atop the tower, is a triangle of lightly seasoned ground beef wrapped in flaky phyllo dough. This dish epitomizes the kitchen's approach to food; playful and self-effacing with an attention to quality execution and presentation.
Some other small plates I would recommend include the Crudo, which I'm predicting be an instant classic. A row of slivered raw tuna arranged at linear attention in a soy-yuzu-truffle sauce, accompanied by jalapeño, rice crackers & blocks of avocado. There is a lot going on in this dish, which is a nice plate to share as a starter or save for yourself as a light lunch. Like the Mexican Salad, this dish boasts layers of textures, but with a nice play of sweet, salty, and umami.
Another dish, perfect for summer's lowered appetite expectations, is a southeast asian take on a classic Bufula and Tomato dish. Heirloom cherry tomatoes (when in season) with slivers of onion, bean sprouts, and basil chiffonade, dressed lightly with peppered Ponzu (a citrus-laced soy-based sauce), served with lightly charred bread.
When I mentioned lighter and brighter as a menu signature, my short term memory failed to recall the Fried Chicken appetizer. Chicken legs soaked in buttermilk, dredged in flour and fried to a golden craft-paper yellow/brown served with corn-avocado salsa, waffle strips and maple gravy. You can try, but you really can't argue with the power of fried poultry.
There are many other eye-catching "apps" and "just chopped" salads. But for a more substantial lunch, the hits are certainly the sandwiches or the entrees where the pattern is similar–instantly familiar, yet strikingly new. If you know and love Matt's specials you may have experienced his love of Vietnamese food, especially his take on Banh Mi. The Chelsea's version is close to the real thing, but bit more buttoned up and substantial, with roasted pork belly and soda braised shank with layers of crunchy and lightly acidic vegetables such as carrot, and some cilantro, served between layers of baguette with house-made sweet potato fries (although chips are pictured above). The rest of the sandwiches sound like familiar friends I'd like to reunite with over beers: Sloppy Joe, Lobster Roll, Oyster Bun, and Grilled Cheese BLT.
A few other menu shout-outs go to the CIA-style chicken, a dish that skews high and low. The high: Matt references one of the first formative lessons of his CIA tenure which included mastering three separate cuts. The (guilty pleasure) low: a "robusto" take in its layers of spice, recalling the zest of the store-bought spice packages that haunt the pantries of our youth. The verdict: Matt's love of chicken thighs wins, and creates a lemony, garlicky, and quite spicy take on the classic Chicken Scarpiello. A few "more substantial" dishes shift heftier, with a Steak and Eggs, Ribs and Gnocchi all begging to be paired with cooler temperatures and a hearty appetite.
What all these seemingly-classic and pub-familiar dishes have in common is an effort to please, and they do, with a signature bravura finish of ponzu, truffle oil, hoisin and so on. This continues to the already busy bar, with a cocktail menu studded with summery spiked lemonades and tried-and-true year-round cocktails such as the Negroni (with hat tip to Jeff Marron) and a Penfield Beach Martini (coconut vodka, lime, simple syrup, mint).
The Chelsea may look and feel like its upscale restaurant brethren, but leave the formal cruise wear at home. The new kid on the block is a much more relaxed, self-effacing and decidedly whimsical take many dishes we know, some we love, and several we should get to know better.
The Chelsea is located at 12 Unquowa Place in Fairfield, CT. Visit their Facebook page for the latest of their website http://thechelseaff.com. The kitchen is open 11:30 to 10 pm Sunday through Thursday and Friday/Saturday 11:30 to 11 pm.

Toward Responsive Visualization Services for Scatter/Gather Browsing
Weimao Ke, Javed Mostafa and Yong Liu
ASIS&T 2008 Annual Meeting (AM08 2008)
Columbus, Ohio, October 24-29, 2008
As a type of relevance feedback, Scatter/Gather demonstrates an interactive approach to relevance mapping and reinforcement. The Scatter/Gather model, proposed by Cutting, Karger, Pedersen, and Tukey (1992), is well known for its effectiveness in situations where it is difficult to precisely specify a query. However, online clustering on a large data corpus is computationally complex and extremely time consuming. This has prohibited the method's real world application for responsive services. In this paper, we proposed and evaluated a new clustering algorithm called LAIR2, which has linear worst-case time complexity and constant running time average for Scatter/Gather browsing. Our experiment showed when running on a single processor, the LAIR2 online clustering algorithm is several hundred times faster than a classic parallel algorithm running on multiple processors. The efficiency of the LAIR2 algorithm promises real-time Scatter/Gather browsing services. We have implemented an online visualization prototype, namely, LAIR2 Scatter/Gather browser, to demonstrate its utility and usability.

Story highlights
- Bob Greene: Case of a recent Ohio "Whites Only" sign points up ugly part of U.S. history
- He says such signs once not uncommon in South, and also North, even into the 1960s
- He says children, in particular, absorb messages on signs; internalize them as official
- Greene: It's meaningful that Ohio story made news; a reminder of the American journey
The good news is that news of the sign was shocking.
Because there was a time, not so very long ago -- a time remembered vividly by many living Americans -- when the sign would not have raised eyebrows, much less warranted national headlines.
You may have seen the story earlier this month. The Ohio Civil Rights Commission upheld a ruling that a landlord in Cincinnati who had posted a "White Only" sign on the gate to her swimming pool had violated the Ohio Civil Rights Act. The landlord, Jamie Hein, who is white, said the sign was an antique, intended to be a decoration; one of her tenants, Michael Gunn, filed the complaint because he believed the sign was placed to dissuade his daughter, who is African-American, from using the pool.
Each side has its own version of the story. But it received widespread coverage because the idea of such a sign, in 2012, was so startling, and was so abhorrent to many people.
Such signs, though, well into the 20th century, were an accepted part of the American scene. If you're not 50 years old yet, chances are pretty good that you never saw one in a public place. Yet as late as the 1960s, they were there; Elizabeth Abel, author of "Signs of the Times: The Visual Politics of Jim Crow," told me that some in fact were in place through the 1970s. This nation had been around for more than 175 years; more than a century had passed since the abolition of slavery; and the signs still hung.
The popular assumption has come to be that the signs, and what they represented, were limited to the South, but that wasn't the case. In the 1930s and 1940s, photographers for the Farm Security Administration Historical Section, which later became part of the Office of War Information, documented the American landscape. Among the photographs, which are on file at the Library of Congress, were shots of signs in small towns and large.
The South is certainly abundantly represented in those photos: a "Colored Waiting Room" sign at the bus station in Durham, North Carolina, a "Colored" sign at one entrance of a movie theater in Belzoni, Mississippi, a "Colored" designation on a sign by a drinking fountain on the lawn of the county courthouse in Halifax, North Carolina, a "White Waiting Room" sign at the bus terminal in Memphis, Tennessee.
But there is also a photo taken in Lancaster, Ohio, of a "We Cater to White Trade Only" sign in a restaurant window; one of a man drinking from a "Reserved for Colored" water cooler at a street car stop in Oklahoma City; a "White" sign at a fountain in Baltimore, Maryland.
Because the signs were so commonplace, and because they went largely unchallenged, to see them for the first time, if you were a child just learning to read, was confusing, difficult to process. As a boy growing up in the 1950s, on a vacation trip to Florida with my parents, I saw the signs in neighborhood after neighborhood. Restrooms for "Whites," restrooms for "Colored," drinking fountains on opposite ends of a wall, labeled according to the races that were supposed to partake of them.
Words, when you are for the first time able to read them yourself, contain great power, convey absolute authority. Words on signs, to young eyes just becoming accustomed to deciphering them, represent official positions. And for so many years, the official position on so many signs in so many towns was: whites and blacks should not share public facilities.
Which is why it is meaningful that the swimming pool sign in Cincinnati was considered prominent news this year. As the ubiquity of the "White" and "Colored" signs fades into history, it is helpful to occasionally remind ourselves that this country may lose its way more often than we'd like, and may make its share of mistakes, but we tend to try to get things right over the long haul.
It would be difficult to make the argument that Americans live in a racial paradise today. The signs are long gone, though. It may have taken far too much time before the country figured out how wrong the signs, and what they signified, were, but the figuring out got done. When customs accepted for generations are harmful to the nation and to what it stands for, the customs eventually are tossed out. Drunken driving used to be winked at; cigarette companies once mocked claims that the product was bad for people; Jewish families were routinely turned away from "restricted" hotels.
The American road is very long, and we're all still on it. Sometimes it's a good idea to look at the signs by the side of the road -- particularly the ones that are no longer there.

Our mission is to ensure the rational, equitable, efficient and economical use of the radio-frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services, including those using satellite orbits, and to carry out studies and approve Recommendations on radiocommunication matters.
In implementing this mission, ITU-R aims at creating the conditions for harmonized development and effi cient operation of existing and new radiocommunication systems,taking due account of all parties concerned.
Our primary objective is to ensure interferencefree operations of radiocommunication systems. This is ensured through implementation of the Radio Regulations and Regional Agreements, and the effi cient and timely update of these instruments through the processes of the World and Regional Radiocommununication Conferences. Furthermore, radio standardization establishes ´Recommendations´ intended to assure the necessary performance and quality in operating radiocommunication systems. It also seeks ways and means to conserve spectrum and ensure fl exibility for future expansion and new technological developments.
ITU-R manages the detailed coordination and recording procedures for space systems and earth stations. Its main role is to process and publish data and to carry out the examination of frequency assignment notices submitted by administrations for inclusion in the formal coordination procedures or recording in the Master International Frequency Register.
ITU-R also develops and manages space-related assignment or allotment plans and provides mechanisms for the development of new satellite services by locating suitable orbital slots.
ITU-R accommodates the launch of new satellites as quickly and efficiently as possible. It facilitates any new developments and the continuation of satellite services in a safe way. It also squeezes more into the frequency bandwidth, which is a limited, fi nite resource. Our main concerns centre on bringing high speed satellite networks into service as well as the regulatory steps required for registering satellite network frequency assignments.

A lot of people struggle to remember occasions that taken place in their time. They identify it a "blur" or just how the day "gone by so fast". This can be nothing more than a less than stellar memory which can be tweaked easily. memory course online
- These are definitely 2 quite effective techniques. If you practice.
- Now acquire this horse, and put see a "hockey" attached.
- Now remove the football. Now, in addition to the racket, a huge pepperoni pizza looks..
- online memory course.
- If you are serious about developing a powerful memory or are.
Mnemonics are very effective tool used by the creative imagination to store considerable amounts of data. It is stored efficiently and very quickly, even though not only can information be stored in large quantities. The greater just one strategies productive ways to boost their memory space, the greater amount of of any reverberating, wave enjoy it has ultimately.
I would like to illustrate 3 techniques which you may get started getting to train right now to substantially transform your remembrance:
Started getting
1. The Sequence Process: This approach employs visualization, together with connection. The mind can just make links throughout the relationship of 2 or maybe more images. They do not have to generally be linked, just fastened in some way as photos.So lets have 5 phrases: , golf racket, soccer and pizza ball.basketball and horse In mind make the image of a "horse" get this horse large, 3D and colorful. These 3 traits have to efficiently make use of a thoughts. online memory course
Now get this horse, and add notice a "baseball" attached with it. Both horizontally or vertically or infiltrating from the horse.
Baseball attached with it Both
The hockey is 3D, large and bright orange. Begin to see the football affixed horizontally into the horse. It will take 3 secs for any human brain to create a interconnection so hold this graphic in the mind for about 3 mere seconds. Now, clear away the photograph with the horse in your thoughts, so you remain together with the Football.
Now, a "tennis games racket" will show up near the hockey. Lets repeat the tennis games racket is gleaming silver, with white strings. Picture the racket plus the golf ball linked horizontally to the hockey. Contain the appearance for about 3 just a few seconds.
Now eliminate the baseball. Now, on the top of the racket, a substantial pepperoni pizza appears. Notice a major, 3 dimensional, decorative image of the photo with your thoughts eyes. Now contain the picture of the pizzas plus the racket for 3 just a few seconds and eliminate the golf racket. Now a football soccer ball can look infiltrating from the pizza. As part of your thoughts attention view a huge, colourful "white and black" 3 dimensional soccer baseball being released through the center of the pizzas. Carry this image for 3 seconds and take away the hockey.
And black dimensional soccer
Continue doing this physical exercise 1 time and you may have properly used the very first approach.
Time and you
2. One more technique is using anchor images in the fixed area. As an example, consider your family area. Lets try to commit to memory 10 phrases; telephone, muffin and watch the game of golf ball, tv, monkey and toothpaste t-jacket, camel, diamond necklace. online memory improvement courses
Now consider 10 help and support images located in your living room area. One example is, during my living room I am going to use my: sofa, espresso desk, floor mat, window, sofa and lamp Television stand, lightswitch and wall, ceiling enthusiast.
Now in CLOCKWISE track begin with the 1st help graphic as part of your living room: Around my circumstance, the window (set the mobile phone on the home window) second help graphic: sofa (position a wristwatch for the chair) third help and support appearance: espresso table (position a muffin about the espresso table) fourth assist impression: floor pad (position a golfing tennis ball around the espresso desk) fifth help image: light fixture (area a monkey on the light) sixth assist picture: roof supporter (location a tube of tooth paste around the roof supporter) 7th assist graphic: Television stay (position a Television for the Television stand up) 8th assistance impression: light swap (position a t-tshirt for the light-weight move) 9th help and support graphic: wall (position a camel around the wall surface) and lastly 10th assist graphic: floor pad (position a diamond necklace on to the ground pad)
Now in your imagination walk close to your living room finding the support photos. Begin with the first one, and find out the primary impression on there. relocate a clockwise direction and see the respective items.
Primary impression
These are typically 2 quite effective techniques. You will start seeing significant results in a VERY quick time if you practice these regularly.
If you are serious about developing a powerful memory or are looking for ways to improve it, I strongly suggest enrolling in a memory training course. It is just about the ideal things you can do yourself mainly because it benefits your mental ability to accomplish everyday! memory course online free
You can do yourself mainly
- Now get rid of the hockey. Now, in addition to the racket, a sizable pepperoni pizza.
- A lot of people find it difficult to recall functions that taken place in.

Actress Lena Dunham paid tribute to her sister Grace as she received an award for supporting the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community on Monday.
The Girls creator was honored by the Point Foundation at a gala event held at New York City's Public Library and the TV star took the opportunity to honor her openly gay sibling as she accepted the trophy.
She told the audience, "I have always felt a strong and emotional connection to members of the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning) community. It was actually a huge disappointment for me, when I came of age and realized that I was sexually attracted to men. So when my sister came out, I thought, 'Thank God, someone in this family can truly represent my passions and beliefs.'
"My sister Grace coming out as a gay woman at age 17 was a huge turning point for me in my understanding of the issues facing LGBTQ people. We were raised in an environment – the art world of downtown Manhattan – where no one hid their sexual orientation, and a common question from four-year-old me was 'Mom, are those ladies gay together?'
"I was always very jealous of any child who had two dads. And because of our parents' deeply held commitment to acceptance and equality, my sister's process of coming to terms with her sexuality was as angst-free as anything involving sex can really be. She was assured by the adults in her life that she was not only accepted, but adored for who she is. I am so happy that this is the way she was able to enter the world as a woman and an LGBTQ person."
