He was notably unathletic at Eton, where he was a wet bob until as cox he steered his boat on the Thames into the bank. Banished to the furthest corner of the deep field at cricket, he sat down and met remonstrance with the indisputable fact that there was no rule against it.
He was a scholar at King's and shone in an era of specially talented Cambridge undergraduates. He took a First in Classics and then read History. He was the exact contemporary of Julian Bell, the son of Clive and Vanessa, and of Robin Brook, later a director of the Bank of England. He used to give a wicked imitation of C.P. Snow unravelling the mysteries of Dostoevsky to his acolytes.
He passed into the Inland Revenue in 1931. He was a singularly unambitious person and used to say that his one ambition was to be appointed to the Royal Mint. But his quickness of mind was such that he was soon moved in 1934 to the Treasury. He was one of the first to spot the deplorable consequences that would follow if the Morgenthau plan for pastoralising Germany after the Second World War was accepted. That would repeat all the evils that Keynes had foreseen in his famous polemic against the Versailles peace treaty.
He also had a hand in financing the universities, for at that time the then University Grants Committee got its grant direct from the Treasury. Playfair realised, as after the First World War, that the universities would be flooded with returning warriors and in any case needed to expand. Although the Treasury is traditionally concerned with reining in public expenditure, Playfair relished being able to increase the subvention to learning. He did the same for museums and art galleries and later became a member of the Fine Arts Commission. He was a master at handling the Public Accounts Committee. If something had gone seriously wrong, he made an apology so frank and abject that the committee was stunned into silence.
In 1947 he spent a year at the London end of the Control Commission for Germany and began the rundown of that over-ambitious organisation whose expenditure, including the feeding of the German population, was ruining the finances of the country. It was in the Control Commission that he got to know the new kind of professional staff officer, highly competent and hard-working, that had emerged under Alanbrooke and Monty. This was to stand him in good stead when, after a further nine years at the Treasury, he was appointed Permanent Under-Secretary at the War Office in 1956.
It was a difficult time for soldiers. First there was the bungled Suez expedition, then the abolition of National Service and the 1957 White Paper, which forced proud regiments to lose their separate identity and amalgamate.
Playfair liked soldiers. His sympathy and tact towards those suffering rationalisation were noted and he was appointed KCB in 1957. He was next moved to the new department of the Ministry of Defence, set up to rationalise the three armed services. There he was less happy because he found his political boss, Harold Watkinson, less congenial than Julian Amery, with whom he had been on such good terms at the War Office.
When aged six, little Playfair was asked what he would like to do when he grew up. Eddie answered: "Retire." No one can have enjoyed retirement more than he did. He was made chairman of International Computers and Tabulators but resigned, saying that the company needed a salesman at its head. He was, however, for 18 years a director of National Westminster Bank and of Glaxo, and served on the boards of other companies.
He became a trustee and for two years chairman of the board of the National Gallery and was a most useful member of the governing bodies of Imperial College and University College London. At the time of student unrest, his sense of humour never failed him, and the militant student who had just denounced him at a meeting of the college council, demanding his resignation as a capitalist exploiter, found himself having a drink with him after the meeting was over.
But, of all academic institutions, his first love was King's, and few bouquets gave him greater pleasure than his election there as an Honorary Fellow. He was a scholar manque. His greatest interest was in the derivation of words and his etymological discoveries found their way into the new edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. He liked dons, books and clever people such as himself.
Molly Playfair, whom he married in 1941, was a qualified doctor with a practice and together they raised three high-spirited daughters. All were with him when, in his 90th year, he lay dying of cancer. He left his affairs in meticulous order, stipulating that there should be no funeral or memorial service. In the waking intervals of his last hours, he spoke of Petronius and quoted in Greek Euripides, kindly translating for the benefit of his wife.
ALTHOUGH EDDIE Playfair was chairman of the National Gallery trustees for only a comparatively short period, from 1972 to 1974, writes Sir Michael Levey, his term coincided with several changes and problems and major challenges, all of which he dealt with in typically deft, equable and thoughtful manner.
He conceived of the chairman's role as essentially supportive of the director: not to initiate but to advise and warn and be consulted. Long before he became a trustee, in 1967, he had been providing invaluable guidance and support to the gallery from his post in the Treasury, and his Whitehall contacts, up to ministerial level, were to be extremely useful in crises that occurred under the Heath government.
But he was not prepared for the savage, personal nature of the entrance charge issue as pursued so obsessively by the late Viscount Eccles, then Minister responsible for the Arts. He did all that he could to negotiate and to wring concessions for the gallery from a man with whom he had previously been very friendly, but the episode saddened him both in principle and personally. From the first, experience had told him that concept was as impracticable as it was undesirable and that an enlightened government's aim should be to encourage free access by the public to the national museums and galleries.
I feel it part of my own great good fortune that Eddie Playfair should have been chairman of the trustees when I succeeded Sir Martin Davies as Director in 1973. Shrewd, kind and amusing, always calm and never overbearing, he brought keen intelligence to every question within the gallery while in general conversation he constantly astonished me by the wide range of his abstruse knowledge - now of Serbo-Croat, now of Scottish legal terminology. In a one-time civil-service tradition, he never paraded his culture or talked of his beliefs or boasted of how he had "fixed" things. But he stood for the humane, the literate and the profoundly civilised, and in his quiet way he strove for realisation of those ideals in life.

Seattle Foundation created the Center for Community Partnerships to advance collaborative, systemic change to achieve greater economic and racial equity in the region. We are now launching the Vibrant Democracy Initiative with the goal of strengthening the voice and participation of underrepresented communities to allow for more equitable systems change.
Research has shown that community change efforts are able to achieve and sustain more effective results when the community members directly affected are engaged. However, due to historic disinvestment in low income communities of color, many of the organizations serving these communities lack the infrastructure and capacity to engage and mobilize their community members to participate in community change efforts. The region's ability to create a more equitable future, is dependent upon the availability and leadership of communities. Without sufficient capacity, representative and truly democratic processes will not be possible. The Vibrant Democracy Initiative has therefore been designed to increase participation and amplify the voice of communities of color and low-income communities by investing in leadership, mobilizing efforts and coalition building to increase the potential effectiveness efforts focused on equity.
The Vibrant Democracy Initiative was developed alongside our two other Center initiatives, Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) and Communities of Opportunity (COO) to bridge the grassroots capacity building of N2N and the place-based and policy change efforts of COO to create an integrated approach to community engaged systems change.
The Vibrant Democracy Initiative has three funding programs:

First-of-their-kind images by Berkeley Lab-led research team could aid in use of DNA to build nanoscale devices
An international team working at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has captured the first high-resolution 3-D images from individual double-helix DNA segments attached at either end to gold nanoparticles. The images detail the flexible structure of the DNA segments, which appear as nanoscale jump ropes.
In a Berkeley Lab-led study, flexible double-helix DNA segments connected to gold nanoparticles are revealed from the 3-D density maps (purple and yellow) reconstructed from individual samples using a Berkeley Lab-developed technique called individual-particle electron tomography or IPET. Projections of the structures are shown in the background grid.

This unique imaging capability, pioneered by Berkeley Lab scientists, could aid in the use of DNA segments as building blocks for molecular devices that function as nanoscale drug-delivery systems, markers for biological research, and components for computer memory and electronic devices. It could also lead to images of important disease-relevant proteins that have proven elusive for other imaging techniques, and of the assembly process that forms DNA from separate, individual strands.
The shapes of the coiled DNA strands, which were sandwiched between polygon-shaped gold nanoparticles, were reconstructed in 3-D using a cutting-edge electron microscope technique coupled with a protein-staining process and sophisticated software that provided structural details to the scale of about 2 nanometers, or two billionths of a meter.
"We had no idea about what the double-strand DNA would look like between the nanogold particles," said Gang "Gary" Ren, a Berkeley Lab scientist who led the research. "This is the first time for directly visualizing an individual double-strand DNA segment in 3-D," he said. The results were published in the March 30 edition of Nature Communications.
The method developed by this team, called individual-particle electron tomography (IPET), had earlier captured the 3-D structure of a single protein that plays a key role in human cholesterol metabolism. By grabbing 2-D images of the same object from different angles, the technique allows researchers to assemble a 3-D image of that object. The team has also used the technique to uncover the fluctuation of another well-known flexible protein, human immunoglobulin 1, which plays a role in our immune system.
For this latest study of DNA nanostructures, Ren used an electron-beam study technique called cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to examine frozen DNA-nanogold samples, and used IPET to reconstruct 3-D images from samples stained with heavy metal salts. The team also used molecular simulation tools to test the natural shape variations, called "conformations," in the samples, and compared these simulated shapes with observations.
Ren explained that the naturally flexible dynamics of samples, like a man waving his arms, cannot be fully detailed by any method that uses an average of many observations.
A popular way to view the nanoscale structural details of delicate biological samples is to form them into crystals and zap them with X-rays, though this does not preserve their natural shape and the DNA-nanogold samples in this study are incredibly challenging to crystallize. Other common research techniques may require a collection of thousands near-identical objects, viewed with an electron microscope, to compile a single, averaged 3-D structure. But this 3-D image may not adequately show the natural shape fluctuations of a given object.
The samples in the latest experiment were formed from individual polygon gold nanostructures, measuring about 5 nanometers across, connected to single DNA-segment strands with 84 base pairs. Base pairs are basic chemical building blocks that give DNA its structure. Each individual DNA segment and gold nanoparticle naturally zipped together with a partner to form the double-stranded DNA segment with a gold particle at either end.
The samples were flash-frozen to preserve their structure for study with cryo-EM imaging, and the distance between the two gold particles in individual samples varied from 20-30 nanometers based on different shapes observed in the DNA segments. Researchers used a cryo-electron microscope at Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry for this study.
They collected a series of tilted images of the stained objects, and reconstructed 14 electron-density maps that detailed the structure of individual samples using the IPET technique. They gathered a dozen conformations for the samples and found the DNA shape variations were consistent with those measured in the flash-frozen cryo-EM samples. The shapes were also consistent with samples studied using other electron-based imaging and X-ray scattering methods, and with computer simulations.
While the 3-D reconstructions show the basic nanoscale structure of the samples, Ren said that the next step will be to work to improve the resolution to the sub-nanometer scale.
"Even in this current state we begin to see 3-D structures at 1- to 2-nanometer resolution," he said. "Through better instrumentation and improved computational algorithms, it would be promising to push the resolution to that visualizing a single DNA helix within an individual protein."
The technique, he said, has already excited interest among some prominent pharmaceutical companies and nanotechnology researchers, and his science team already has dozens of related research projects in the pipeline.
In future studies, researchers could attempt to improve the imaging resolution for complex structures that incorporate more DNA segments as a sort of "DNA origami," Ren said. Researchers hope to build and better characterize nanoscale molecular devices using DNA segments that can, for example, store and deliver drugs to targeted areas in the body.
"DNA is easy to program, synthesize and replicate, so it can be used as a special material to quickly self-assemble into nanostructures and to guide the operation of molecular-scale devices," he said. "Our current study is just a proof of concept for imaging these kinds of molecular devices' structures."
The Molecular Foundry is a DOE Office of Science User Facility.
In addition to Berkeley Lab scientists, other researchers contributing to this study were from UC Berkeley, the Kavli Energy NanoSciences Institute at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley, and Xi'an Jiaotong University in China.
This work was supported by the National Science Foundation, DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences, National Institutes of Health, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Xi'an Jiaotong University in China, and the Ministry of Science and Technology in China.

Patient Review Highlights
Have you suffered from a dislocated kneecap and are looking for effective treatment options? A dislocated kneecap is a very common form of injury that takes around six weeks time to heal. It is generally caused by a blow or a change in direction when your leg is planted on the ground. Such injuries are common during sports and dancing. The patella or knee cap, which sits at the front of the knee, glides over a groove in your joint, on straightening or bending your leg. Dislocations make it come out of the groove, leading to the tearing of the supporting tissues.
- When your kneecap gets dislocated, it is likely to look out of place, or the angle will seem odd.
- Other symptoms include severe knee pain, inability to walk, swelling of the knee, inability to straighten the knee, and a popping sensation in the knee.
- A dislocated knee cap is not something very serious and it pops back in place on its own in many cases. However, it is recommended for you to get it diagnosed and treated by a health professional.
- In case your knee cap goes back into place on its own, you should visit a minor injuries unit or MIU, or an accident and emergency department.
- If your kneecap does not go back into place by itself, you need to call an ambulance and avoid trying to put it back in place by yourself.
- On the way to the hospital, or while you wait for the ambulance to arrive, you should sit, keeping your leg in a position that is most comfortable for you.
- If your kneecap does not correct itself by the time you reach a hospital, it has to be manipulated back in place by a doctor. This process is called reduction.
- You will be given medication to ensure that you keep relaxed and free from pain during the procedure.
- After the knee cap is put back in place, an X-ray has to be undertaken to check out if your bones are in the right position. Signs of other damages are also analysed.
- After the procedure, you will be prescribed painkillers. Your leg will be immobile and put in a removable splint for some time.
- For effective recovery, you should undergo physiotherapy for several weeks.
A surgery for a dislocated kneecap may only be required to be undertaken in case of a fracture or associated injuries like a ligament tear. A surgery may also be required in case you had experienced a knee cap dislocation in the past.
A Tennis elbow is a painful condition that affects the tendons due to a condition known as tendinitis, which causes inflammation. This condition will end up restricting the free movement of the elbow and the arm due to the pain and stiffness that it causes. This is due to the fact that these tendons are the tough band of connective tissues that hold the muscles and the lower arm with the bone. Repeated gripping motions and continued tugging as well as activities like weight lifting, tennis, squash and other like carpentry, painting writing and typing, can lead to this condition.
Here are a few methods of treatment and the questions that revolve around them.
- Do I have to restrict my movements: Yes, when you have tennis elbow, the very first thing you must do is to give rest to the tendons by curbing those activities that have caused the condition or those which can aggravate the pain and stiffness. Lifting heavy objects, gripping things for prolong periods, other physical pursuits like tennis and other games and more will need to stop so that you do not stretch, strain or pull the tissue.
- Can I take pain killers: Yes, you can take pain killers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen in case the pain is unbearable? Always ensure that an orthopaedic specialist takes a look at your arm before prescribing the medicines to you.
- Is an ice compress good for this pain: You can use the RICE method for acute pain that is less than 72 hours old. For more persistent pain, you must see a doctor. The RICE method refers to Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. In this method, you can keep your arm elevated and give it rest. You can also use an ice compress and keep it tightly wound with an elastic bandage so as to avoid swelling.
- Can I take injections for this condition: Corticosteroid injections may be used for very severe cases. This contains the cortisol hormone and can give good results in the short run.
- Are there any non invasive methods for treatment: You can try non-invasive procedures like shock wave therapy which will help in fixing the pain and promote motion gradually. This procedure is usually conducted with the help of shock waves that are passed to the skin.
- Is exercising a complete no no: In this case, many orthopaedic surgeons and doctors will ask you to go through physiotherapy so that you can get used to movements and motion after prolonged pain. These exercises will also strengthen the muscles of the area.
Talk to your doctor if the pain is particularly debilitating and discuss surgery for the same.

So it begins… The Dark Knight Rises ARG
If you haven't figured out by now I'm a huge Batman fan. My obsession started back in 1989 with the original Batman movie. It got even worse during my years in college when I finally decided to start collecting the actual Batman comic books. My online pseudonym AzBat is actually taken from the nickname given to Azrael when he took the took over the mantle after Bruce Wayne got his back broke by Bane during the Knightfall storyline. I've also been a fan of every Batman movie since(although Batman & Robin was hard to stomach).
Anyway, in May 2007 Warner Brothers started filming what would be my favorite Batman movie of all time: The Dark Knight. The movie itself is not what it my favorite but instead the viral marketing of movie by means of an alternate reality game (ARG). The viral made the movie's universe feel like a real living breathing place. It was mesmerizing & intriguing, what new info will we get today? What new puzzles, web sites, scavenger hunts & swag we will get next? It was an amazing experience. I've received all kind of stuff like actual Gotham Times newspapers, Harvey Dent campaign materials, Joker goon fugitive packs with a real cell phone to receive text message from the Joker, misc items from the Citizens for Batman organization, early showings of the first trailer and free tickets to the IMAX midnight launches.
To say that I'm excited about the return of Batman to the big screen is an understatement. Yesterday Warner Brothers announced that it has started principal photography on The Dark Knight Rises. That's almost 4 years to the day when it started filming The Dark Knight. With the announcement Warner Brothers also updated the official web site at: http://www.thedarkknightrises.com/. Upon visiting the site you'll hear a vocal chanting going on in the background, but like with the last movie, it's not all what it seems. Members of the SuperHeroHype.com forums began trying to decode the audio & eventually figured out it had a hidden message: #thefirerises. This lead people to look for the hash tag on Twitter & they also found a user with the same name. Sending Twitter messages to that user resulted in people receiving a URL on the The Dark Knight Rises web site: http://www.thedarkknightrises.com/image.html. It originally had a fuzzy picture, but as more people sent messages to @thefirerisses the picture became more & more detailed until it was completely clear. That picture is the first official photo from the movie: a picture of the villain Bane.
That's almost exactly how the The Dark Knight viral campaign started in 2007. And so many believe it's what we can expect for The Dark Knight Rises as well. I sure hope they are right. If you're interested in finding out more about The Dark Knight viral campaign I would check out this wiki site for the chronology & details of all the sites, puzzles & prizes. There's even a fan site created to pay homage to those that participated in the viral. You can visit that here. If you have any kind of fondness for Batman or like games & contests, I think you will love following The Dark Knight Rises ARG. I won't try to post a day-to-day review on what's going on with it, but you can expect a few posts on the bigger updates. For the best place to keep up-to-date on a minute-by-minute basis check out The Dark Knight Rises Spoilers forum on SuperHeroHype.com. Hope to see you on the forums! Just look for AzBat! 🙂

Student Testimonial
I really liked it here because the mood was very good. There was also a lot to do and the staff was friendly. The best part about learning English here at EC San Diego was the friends I made and the fact that you can improve your English skills and have fun at the same time.
Here in San Diego there is a lot to do like go to clubs, house parties, but the most exciting thing I did was take a trip to San Francisco with my friends. The city is beautiful but cold. There is also the paintball activity that I participated in. Teachers Jerrod and Cosmo were our paintball captains and it was awesome!
I would suggest to new students not to be afraid to do some activities with the teachers. After EC I am going back to Switzerland where I am going to work in a marketing company as a manager. Thank you EC.

Teacher Testimonial
I'm from the San Diego area, went to college in the LA area and got a degree in Sociology. My family is from Mexico City and from the US, so I speak Spanish and English. I've travelled to 7 countries in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. I like to read, play volleyball, and play guitar.
I've been in the education field for 4 years and in ESL for 2. My classes are a safe space to learn and laugh and meet new friends along the way.
Learning tips: Pace yourself when you're learning English. Try to keep a balanced lifestyle. These might help to keep you on track and from getting discouraged by your progress-everyone learns English at a different pace. Be patient with yourself, but don't neglect English. Go to the free opportunities offered by EC and talk to Americans.

The name was changed from the mentally handicapped because learning disabilities was a less discriminatory and more accurate term. But in a recent Mencap survey almost 50 per cent of the public still described the charity as being for the mentally handicapped and 13 per cent believed Mencap to be a mental-health charity.
This demonstrates a large degree of misunderstanding around learning disability, says the charity. "People with learning disabilities are discriminated against in employment, when on holiday, through leisure and with a variety of services such as housing, the NHS and the criminal justice system. Only with real understanding of the issues can society hope to end discrimination as we near the end of the 20 th century," said Fred Heddell, Mencap's chief executive. "We still have a long way to go to change the public's and media's perceptions of what people with learning disabilities can achieve."Reuse content

Police are investigating the illegal trade in human body parts at one of America's most prestigious medical schools where officials allegedly made thousands of dollars selling torsos, heads and limbs for use in unregulated experiments.
Police are investigating the illegal trade in human body parts at one of America's most prestigious medical schools where officials allegedly made thousands of dollars selling torsos, heads and limbs for use in unregulated experiments.
The University of California's Centre for Health Sciences in Los Angeles said yesterday that it was doing everything it could to assist police in the inquiry, which focuses on a senior university official and another man.
Both have been arrested over allegations that body parts left to the university by former patients were being sold to outside research institutions.
"These allegations of criminal activity ... are extremely troubling," Albert Carnesale, the university's chancellor, said. "Please know that we are shocked and angered by the despicable behaviour of those involved."
The Willed Body Programme at UCLA is one of the oldest in the US and has received an average of 175 bodies a year since it was established in 1950. It also maintains a "waiting list" of about 11,000 people who want to leave their bodies for medical research and education.
Henry Reid, the programme's director, and another man, Ernest Nelson, are alleged to have had an arrangement in which hundreds of body parts were sold privately for thousands of dollars. Although it is illegal to trade body parts for profit, documents suggest that over six years Mr Reid oversaw the sale of 496 cadavers for $704,600 (£383,000).
Mr Nelson, who with Mr Reid has been released on bail, said he had done nothing wrong and that the university knew what he was doing. He said that twice a week he was granted access to the university's freezers where he was allowed to saw off human knees, hands, torsos, heads and other body parts.
Mr Nelson then sold the body parts to medical institutions and multinational companies, among them the US giant Johnson & Johnson. No one from the company was available for comment yesterday.
Relatives of people who left their bodies to UCLA have launched a lawsuit demanding that the programme be shut until safeguards are in place. Among those who gifted their bodies was Sidney Liroff, who died in 2001 after suffering a series of strokes. His wife, Selma, made a pact with her husband to donate her body. Speaking from her home in Van Nuys, California, Mrs Liroff said: "We did it because we wanted to do something good. My husband's life had been extended by science and he wanted to give something back.
"We had decided long ago to carry donor cards. Now I am having nightmares - the horrible images in my head. It's so awful. At first I was just sad but now I am angry. Someone should go to jail."
The UCLA investigation has focused attention on the little-discussed but widely practised trade in body parts in the US. Because making a profit from the sale of the limbs and organs is illegal, companies earn money by charging for the collection, transport and preservation of the cadavers.
As a result there is an entire economy involving undertakers, research companies, hospices and body banks in which whole bodies or parts of them are traded. Undertakers will often offer to provide a free funeral in exchange for the right to use certain parts of the body for research. Some freight companies specialise in the shipment by air of human limbs.
The largely unregulated trade is driven by medical research institutions that want the body parts for a variety of uses such as the practice of new surgical techniques.
The website of the New Jersey-based company Innovations in Medical Training and Education, for instance, advertises a three-day course in Seattle for doctors to practise keyhole surgery using "unembalmed cadavers". The course also uses the bodies of pigs to simulate human bodies.
Augie Perna, the company's founder, said: "There is a huge need to be able to get specimens that people donate for this type of education." Dr Todd Olson, the chairman of the Anatomical Committee of the Associated Medical Schools of New York, estimated that about 10,000 cadavers are used each year by teaching establishments alone.
But body parts are not just used for research. A recent article in Harpers magazine revealed that another New Jersey company, LifeCell, used skin from bodies to produce tissue that doctors can use for skin grafts, cosmetic surgery and even penis enlargements. A Florida company grinds up human bones to make a paste for periodontal surgery.
The magazine listed prices: a complete torso for between $1,000-$1,400, a head $550, a brain $500, a shoulder $431, a foot $350 and a finger nail $15. A leg costs $815.

This was a painting I spent most of my time with, I put a lot of effort into it, making it my own idea of a ''perfect painting''. I've used my favorite colours and most loved techniques in painting. I've experimented with my brush techniques and tried to put two colours next to each other than I normally would have thought would have clashed. I love the shapes and patterns and how they each flow into so smoothly.

The "Athanasian" Cardinals and Historicity of Correcting Pontiffs
It is a bit unnerving and not a little uncomfortable for the Church to be in the position it finds itself now. We have a situation where 4 cardinals have submitted questions to the Pope in the form of five "yes or no" questions. You hear these referred to as "dubia" - which is latin for "doubts". These questions are largely in response to Pope Francis' recent encyclical, Amoris Laetitia. There is precedent for this sort of format and questions put to the pope for clarification. Even saints in Church history have been persecuted and punished when they charitably questioned and challenged certain statements and teachings of the pope ... only later to be vindicated ... (click "Read More")
The Pope Will Never Answer the Dubia
The Pope's Council of 9 Cardinals met this week in the Vatican, from Monday, December 12th, to Wednesday, December 14th, according to the Vatican. Their report also noted there was no discussion of the dubia submitted by the four cardinals. This seems astonishing to me, as it is a matter of great division and question in the Church.
NCR reported: "Greg Burke, the head of the Holy See press office, said the nine-member Council of Cardinals focused particularly on the roles of the Secretariat of State, the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, the Congregation for Bishops, and the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.Burke said the Council of Cardinals did not speak about a controversial November letter from four semi-retired cardinals challenging Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation on family life, Amoris Laetitia.
Our Modern Day Athanasius of Alexandria: Bishop Athanasius Schneider Is A Voice Crying Out In the Wilderness...
Bishop Athanasius of Astana has spoken with charity, eloquence and charity regarding the four cardinals who have submitted dubia to Pope Francis for clarification. LifeSite News has posted an excellent article you can find here.
Bishop Athanasius stated: "An ecclesiastical authority that issues norms or pastoral guidance that provides for such admission, arrogates to itself a right that God has not given it. A pastoral accompaniment and discernment that does not communicate to the adulterous person, the so-called divorced and remarried, the divinely-established obligation to live in continence as a sine qua non condition for admission to the sacraments, exposes itself in reality as an arrogant clericalism, as there does not exist any clericalism so pharisaical as that which arrogates to itself rights reserved to God."
Let us pray for our Holy Father and our bishops and cardinals, that they may be docile to the Holy Spirit and uphold the Church's unchangeable teaching, entrusted to it by Christ Himself. Peace + DDG

Working with AMI Data Eric Jung SouthEastern Illinois Electric Cooperative
Load Modeling Hourly data advantages Accuracy! (less than 5% variance) Fast load allocation Hourly data disadvantages File verification & estimation difficult and time consuming Must mix with traditional load allocation if AMI not 100% deployed
File Setup Interval files Desired intervalDi Desired interval -1Di-1 Desired interval +1Di+1 Desired interval, different day (similar load characteristics) Desired interval, different day 2 Repeat until all meters have a reading
File Setup Continued Outage file (fast ping) for desired day CIS data Multiplier Billing rate (optional) Reactive load Matching field to outage table Location number link to Premise ID
Validation Pulse count to KW multiplier: (≠ Kh) Verify meter type, multiplier and module match Multiplier = (Kw * 1000) / Pulse count
Estimation If valid read from desired interval (Di) use it directly If not use Di-1 or Di+1 If all three invalid use same interval from different day Repeat until valid reads for all meters
Reading Modification Sum total load by interval Apply adjustment factor by percentage difference between intervals. Ie. Di-1 total load is 5% < Di. Divide all Di- 1 reads by 95% Suggest applying adjustment factors by billing rate.
Additional Load Info Take phasing from Outage file on single phase meters Three phase loads must come from another source: CIS Mapping Reactive load must come from CIS
Outage Data Location # Meter # Module # Phase Substation Master Table Location # Meter # Module # Phase Substation Multiplier Load Interval 1 Load Interval 2 KVAR Interval Data 1 Module # Meter # Meter Type Pulse Count Kw (converted pulse) Table links - Blue Data source - Green CIS Data Location # PF% Multiplier
Load Application for 100% AMI One load group Set sources to swing Set CF% to 100% PF % only applies to those without KVAR Apply load and save errors!
Load Application for < 100% AMI All AMI data in one load group Settings for this load group will be as for 100% AMI Remainder will be as traditional Run load allocation and save errors!
Phasing Correction Match load file phasing with error file from load application Use "re-phase elements in file" updateable utility to phase according to load file Re-run load application and view errors Errors will be connectivity errors
Accuracy Absolute: 3.3% (average deviation) Individual phase variation >10A indicates phasing or loading errors. Normal < 5 A error per phase at feeder level
Two Feeder Examples Johnston City NW (average feeder) Shell East (very accurate) ModeledActual% Diff KW3098.23007.73.01% KVAR608.9635.74.22% A Amps148.5139.86.19% B Amps133.9134.60.49% C Amps138.7133.53.86% ModeledActual% Diff KW3959.03964.80.15% KVAR A Amps209.1211.10.93% B Amps151.2149.11.44% C Amps165.4160.03.34%
Lessons learned Check large industrial loads If load down during peak, consider adjusting to realistic level for analysis Trust the Twacs phasing, but check for phase rolls in software Scrutinize the pulse count multipliers! There will be errors!
Blink File Import Setup blink file using AMI momentary outage data Suggest weekly or monthly intervals Use "apply reliability indexes" utility Element name,saidi,saifi,caidi… Element name,blink week 1,blink week 2…
Blink Analysis Set "color by custom" Graphical indication of blinking line sections
Blink Analysis Example
Single Outage File Import Similar to blink file import Leave only location and on/off status in file Convert outage status into 1 (on) or 0 (off) Save as CSV and load as "reliability.txt" Provides a snapshot of system status
Multiple Outage File Import Link several outage files together based on location Create one master database with several on/off entries (maximum of 6) i.e. Element name,2pm result, 4pm result… Provides progress view of system restoration
Outage Analysis Single outage file: Color by custom based on phase Highlights line section outages Multiple outage file Color by custom based on status change
Conclusions AMI data can bring load model accuracy to the next level Apply reliability indexes utility is an extremely flexible tool AMI data is not likely to save time on load allocation

Jean-Jacques Duval
After World War II, Duval began his studies at École Superieur des Arts Decoratif in his hometown. In 1950, Duval accepted an offer to design for a major stained glass studio in the United States. In 1957 he opened his own studio in New York City. He and the members of his studio executed many architectural commissions for churches and synagogues as well as the Vatican Pavilion at the New York World's Fair. Duval also pioneered many new glass applications. He was the first to import and use "dalle de verre" a molded glass from France.
When he arrived in New York, he befriended many of the now-famous abstract expressionists who encouraged him to show his paintings. Today he lives and maintains his design studio in a remote area of the Adirondack Mountains in Saranac, NY. Natural forms have always interested Duval and his present environs provide a catalyst for his inspiration.
Duval is the recipient of many prizes and honours. His work is in many prestigious public and private collections, as well as having been the subject of many articles and publications.

Two evolving dynamics are a feature of environmental decision making. First the movement to empower participants in developing and implementing solutions and second the use of models as tools to inform decisions within complex scenarios. The co-evolution of these dynamics aids stakeholders with different perspectives to understand the system in question. This study examined these movements focusing on the ways in which the decision to use computer models influenced the definition of the issue, the allocation of resources, the group structure and the decision process, by using qualitative methods (semi structured interviews) in two case studies from the Great Lakes system: Salmon Stocking in Lake Ontario (1992 – 1997) and Lake Ontario-Saint Lawrence River Study (2000 – 2007). This study found that the unilateral selection of a modeling framework constrains the decision process and an agreed definition of the issue sets for a smother process. The value of a model is not only reflected in its output but also in the process during its construction.

Town Square
throwing good money after bad
Original post made by financial advisor, Atherton: Lindenwood, on Sep 23, 2009
I used to think spending $750 annually to keep our police department was a good investment.
With all of the scandals and stories comming out of that department I no longer feel such is the case. I will be voting no against the parcel tax and will be urging my clients and friends to do the same.
Now is the time to look at more cost effective ways of protecting lives and property in town.
In my view defeating the parcel tax is the first step in promoting a discussion that should have been conducted long ago.

National Conservation centre
The National Conservation Centre cares for the diverse collection of all eight of the National Museums of Liverpool as well as providing specialist services to Museums worldwide. HKD was appointed to refurbish their small outdated displays.
HKD led design workshops with NML staff. These workshops extended the remit of the exhibition to place the scientific displays into a wider SciArt context. We introduced a new shop window into the museum raising awareness of the work being done at the Conservation Centre, introduced a new entrance and shop.
Two suites of interactive exhibits were developed. One allowed objects in the museums to "Tell their Story" the second gave visitors to the Museum access to scientific research tools. The Laboratory on the gallery floor bought visitors face to face with the scientists working at the Conservation Centre.
