As the golden autumn season coming, staffs of Hopeland big family traveled to Mount Wuyi in Fujian Province. Mt Wuyi is located in Fujian Province at its boundary with Jiangxi Province running along for about 500km at an average altitude of over 1000m. The legend says that in the era of Tang Yao,a senior man called Peng Zu took hermitage in the mountain with his sons Wu and Yi,who first developed this area,therefore the mountain was referred to as Mt Wuyi in their honor. Yet other folks say that this was once the settlement of the ancient Minyue people governed by their King Wuyi,hence the mountain's name.

Report: Fewer in New Haven delinquent on mortgages (document)
The average serious delinquency rate for mortgages in the New Haven metro area and three others in Connecticut went down between December 2009 and December 2010 or remained unchanged, mirroring a national trend.
The Urban Institute today released an analysis of mortgage delinquencies in the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the country. Overall, the average serious delinquency rate for the U.S. is 9.7 percent as of December 2010, dropping by 0.7 percent year over year.
Urban Institute is a non-partisan, public policy research organization in Washington, D.C.
For purposes of the institute's study, the seriously delinquent mortgages category looks at both loans in foreclosure and loans 90 days or more delinquent.
"The change in serious delinquency was driven by a change in the 90+ day delinquency rate, rather than a change in the share of loans in foreclosure: the average 90+ day delinquency rate for the largest 100 metro areas dropped 1.4 percentage points in the past year but the average foreclosure rate rose 0.7 percentage points," the report says.
The New Haven metro area has a 9.5 percent serious delinquency rate, slightly below the national average of 9.7 percent. That's a 0.6 percent drop from 10.1 percent in December 2009 for New Haven. The Norwich-New London metro area held steady at 8.6 percent in both years, while the Hartford metro area fell by 0.6 percent to 6.7 percent and Bridgeport dropped by 0.3 percent to 8.4 percent.
Leah Hendey, research associate at Urban Institute and co-author of the analysis along with Rob Pitingolo, told the Register Wednesday that New Haven and Bridgeport rank in the middle range of metro areas nationally when it comes to both serious delinquency rates and the pace at which the rate is falling or stabilizing.
Hartford fared better, landing in the lowest share of mortgages seriously delinquent nationally.
The report did not look at factors affecting delinquency rates, but Hendey said the economy and policy decisions affecting loan modifications likely play a role in the developing trends.
"Some of it depends on where you are, but I think things are stabilizing overall," Hendey said. "We're not seeing the big jumps in foreclosures but we're still at historically high levels of delinquency and foreclosure."
Some metro areas continue to top the delinquency rankings. For example, other than Las Vegas, the ten metropolitan areas with the highest rates are all in Florida.

Forex exchange means foreign currency. Currency of one country is the foreign currency of another country. In the international financial market, currencies of various countries are being traded by the investors.
There are many investors who invest millions of dollars in the forex exchange market and earn huge profits even with a small change in the currency value. Let us look into how the exchange works and what makes the basis for making profit in the forex market.
A currency can either appreciate or depreciate its value in terms of another currency due to its demand and supply conditions. When there is higher demand for a particular currency then its value tend to increase and vice versa.
On the other hand, there is inverse relationship between supply of a currency and its value. The basis for making profit or loss is the changes in the value of currencies in terms of another currency.
Let us analysis how the profit can be measured with the help of an example. Suppose one Dollar is equal to 1.5 pound in international market and further if the value of dollar increases in terms of pound then one Dollar can fetch more than 1.5 pound.
The difference will be the rate of profit to the investor. This does not mean that investment will always fetch profits. It depends on whether the currency that you invested would appreciate or depreciate its value in terms of another one.
There are many people who invest in forex market by sitting at home,making transactions online. This has made the investment options easier in the financial market.
The only thing that investors should take care of is to calculate the rate of change in the value of the currencies and make proper decisions regarding when to make the transaction. So that the profit can be assured.

Kiki Smith, Little Meadow, 1999. Courtesy of Pace Prints.
Kiki Smith: Flowers
After the death of her mother Jane in 2005, Kiki Smith found herself surrounded by bouquets of condolence flowers inside her Lower East Side apartment. In her grief, Smith began to see the flowers as striking representations of her mother herself, once a Broadway actress and opera singer. Drawing them in various states of bloom and decay, Smith's flowers (most often lilies, roses, daisies, and sunflowers) represent the ephemeral qualities of life and beauty, here one moment and gone the next. Early drawings ceded to etchings and prints, as Smith finds a sense of spirituality in the repetitive nature of printmaking. "Prints mimic what we are as humans," Smith said in 1998. "We are all the same and yet everyone is different. I think there's a spiritual power in repetition, a devotional quality, like saying rosaries."

Deputy Sheriff, caught dancing inside an elevator
In case you haven't seen it yet, we thought we'd let you know about a recent internal investigation into strange happenings in an office elevator in the El Paso County Sheriff's office in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Because of the multiple disruptions in the elevator, the said office decided to install a camera in order to diagnose the problem.
But what it captured something epic instead.
Deputy Tony Scherb, a retiring Colorado sheriff's deputy was recorded dancing to American rapper Silento's Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae). He was soon joined in dancing to the song by other colleagues, identified in the video as Deputy Murphy, Deputy Reed, and Sheriff Bill Elder.
|The party elevator.
The video was posted by the El Paso County Sheriff's Office to its Facebook page on Jan. 29 and has more than seven million views and more than 76 thousand likes.
According to KTLA 5 Morning News, Scherb was retiring from the department after a 29 year career.
"We knew that Deputy Scherb would leave behind a legacy hard to forget… but this, is amazing!" the Sheriff's Office said in a separate post on its Facebook page.

With apologies for being a few hours late posting it.
Rainbow Place (Rainbow Place #1) by Jay Northcote 4*
BLURB: Can Jason find the courage he needs to be the man Seb deserves?
When Seb Radcliffe relocates to a seaside town in Cornwall, he feels like a fish out of water. He misses queer spaces and the sense of community he enjoyed when he was living in the city, and decides to open an LGBT-friendly cafe-bar.
Jason Dunn is the builder Seb hires to help renovate the rundown space where the cafe will be housed. Jason is also gay, but unlike Seb, he's deep in the closet. He's never had a relationship with another man--only allowing himself the occasional hook up with guys who are prepared to be discreet.
The attraction between the two men is instant and impossible to ignore. But while Seb is out and proud, Jason is terrified of being exposed. With the grand opening of Rainbow Place approaching, tension is growing among some locals who object to Seb's plans. When things escalate, Jason is forced to choose whether to hide in the shadows and let Seb down, or to openly support the man he's fallen so hard for.
Although this book is part of a series, it has a satisfying happy ending and can be read as a standalone.
My Review: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoy Jay Northcote's books, his Characters are always very down to earth individuals with all the foibles and problems I can identify with. That said, each of the stories has it's own unique touch and this one was no exception.
I loved how the story and the romance unfolded and I really want to go to Rainbow Place for a slice of Rainbow Cake. I am left wondering if Jay invented the cafe or if there truly are such places in Cornwall. It certainly felt like it whilst reading the story.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys realistic characters, hot sex, and all the feels, in their romance reading.

Kia Sorento is now a crossover stunner
The Kia Sorento has a 16-year history, longer than many of us thought.
In 2003, Kia Motors introduced the Sorento as the bigger alternative to their Sportage compact SUV, and as a budget-priced SUV with off-road capabilities.
In 2011, the Sorento unofficially became a family hauler when Kia redesigned it with a third row seat.
Since then, the Sorento has evolved from a purely economic choice, to an upscale, solidly competent, well-rounded seven-seat midsized crossover with a premium feel inside and out.
The third generation Sorento is so subtly revised in styling that the new features and tweaks do not transform it into a totally new from- the- ground-up vehicle.
Nonetheless, the 2019 Sorento has a clean, classy exterior that cuts a dashing, if boxy presence on the road.
It sports new front and rear bumpers, a large, chrome-heavy iconic tigernose grille flanked by swept-back LED headlights with LED DRLs underneath, bold LED fog lamps in front, a semi-high beltline, high-mounted LED taillights integrated into the power tailgate, and 18-inch alloy wheels in the 4×4 model.
If you're willing to fork over P300,999 more for the 4×4 Sorento, you get extra goodies like smart entry with illuminated start pushbutton, 8-way power adjustable and 2-way lumber adjustable driver's seat, silver skid plate, aluminum scuff plates with illumination, rear camera display with static guidelines, 18-inch alloy wheels, power tailgate, leather upholstery, LED front fog lamps, LED daytime running lights (DRLs), and LED rear combination lamps.
In both the front wheel drive and all-wheel-drive versions, peak 200 PS output and max 441 Nm torque are delivered by a 2.2-liter, inline 4 DOHC CRDi (common rail direct injection) E-VGT diesel engine paired with a new 8-speed automatic transmission. The powertrain operates so smoothly, without the NVH of diesel engines, that you tend to forget that you are driving a diesel.
SOLID STABILITY. The Sorento's 7.3-inch ground clearance rides high enough, providing good foul-weather grip especially with the 4×4 variant. The Sorento has enough grunt to tug up to 5,000 pounds of trailer.
The reinforced monocoque body of 53 percent advanced high-strength steel, newly tuned steering, and changes to the suspension provide sound, secure handling, a solid sense of stability even at high speeds, and a pleasant experience behind the wheel in everyday driving.
Due to the smooth, serene suspension and more sound damping materials, the ride is quiet, refined and comfortable, although in this complaisance, some agility and sporting pretensions are compromised. The well-damped ride, on the other hand, adds confidence even over rutted roads.
The new 8-speed A/T, up from 6, should improve engine responsiveness and fuel economy, although this is countered by the tranny's slowness to downshift. The ride is soft, the steering is light, so the driver sometimes yearns for more feel from the steering.
Aside from excellent driving manners, the new Sorento offers a roomy, well-organized cabin with an attractive dash, plenty of soft-touch materials, a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with hands-free, voice control Bluetooth connectivity, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, four speakers and two tweeters.
USER FRIENDLY. The infotainment system is user-friendly, with volume and tuning knobs, and clearly marked HVAC buttons logically arranged, making it easy to navigate the menu hierarchy.
The audio system is listed as including AM/FM Radio, CD, MP3 with USB and Aux-in ports, but the 4×4 Sorento I was test driving had no CD player.
With its 4,800 mm (189 inches) overall length, the Sorento is at the short end of the midsize crossover segment. Interior space therefore is not as generous for 7 passengers (including driver) and cargo, compared to rivals like the Mazda CX9 and Honda Pilot. On the other hand, its smaller dimensions make the Sorento easier to maneuver in bumper-to-bumper traffic and tight parking spaces.
SEATS AND SPACE. The front seats are well-sculpted and supportive, with the driver's seat power- adjustable in the 4×4 model.
The second row seat is split 40:20:40, sliding with armrest. Although the second row tilts forward for access to the third row, the space between the second and third rows is too small for easy ingress to the rearmost seat.
The second row can be reclined, but when it does, legroom and knee room in the third row are further reduced. As it is, the third row can accommodate only small adults or children, and for short trips only. The third row seat, which splits 50:50, does not recline.
With all seats in place, cargo area behind the rearmost seat is limited to 11.3 cubic feet. With the third row folded down, the space increases to 38 cubic feet, and with both the second and third rows stowed, 73 cubic feet of cargo space is available.
SAFETY. In other markets, the 2019 Sorento is equipped with an extensive airbag system (average 7), Traction Control System, Rollover Sensor, Auto Light Control, 3-point seatbelts (all seating positions) with LATCH anchors, LED positioning lamps, aside from the usual safety features listed below.
But in the Philippines, probably to make its SRP more affordable, the Sorento has as standard safety features only two front airbags, ABS with electronic stability control and brake assist, vehicle stability management, and hill start assist. To get the rear camera display, you have to buy the top-end 4×4 model.
With a price tag of P1,895,000 for the 4×2 A/T Sorento and P2,195,999 for the 4×4 A/T model, surely Kia PH can throw in more active and passive safety features? Even the much lower-priced Toyota Vios has 7 airbags.
BOTTOM LINE. Despite this shortcoming, the 2019 Kia Sorento is a strong upscale competitor in the crowded midsize crossover segment. It offers superb ride quality, smooth driveability, a neat, well-organized interior, and solid stability.
The Sorento won't bowl you over and leave you speechless, but it does everything well as an all-around, capable, subtly impressive seven-seat diesel crossover.

An author who's new sci-fi work tells how Diana, Princess of Wales, was murdered by time travellers, is launching his new book in Nantwich.
The conspiracy thriller written by C.R. Berry launches at Nantwich Bookshop & Coffee Lounge on Friday March 20.
The new book, called Million Eyes, is set in a world where time travel has secretly been invented by a huge global conglomerate.
Two characters, an ex-history teacher and a university graduate, team up to find out what's going on.
They learn that several big events in our history weren't supposed to happen — including the death of Princess Diana.
The book comments on the startling amounts of power that big technology companies have over our lives. It also addresses the significance of the monarchy in Britain.
"It's a book aimed at people who love conspiracy theories, Dan Brown books and Doctor Who," says Berry.
"Even though the book is fictional, it stays true to many of the real-life events it incorporates and explains 'what really happened'—such as the involvement in Diana's death of the still mysterious Fiat Uno that was never traced."
Berry acknowledges that including an event so fresh in people's minds was a risky move.
"I knew from the get-go that including Diana might be controversial, particularly in a sci-fi context.
"Indeed, while the reviews of Million Eyes have so far been really positive, one reviewer said she was uncomfortable that Diana was in it, having conversations with other characters, and that there are scenes of the crash itself.
"However, people have been incorporating real-life tragedies into fiction for centuries.
"Look at how many books, movies and TV series have been made about 9/11."
C.R. Berry will be at Nantwich Bookshop & Coffee Lounge on Friday March 20 at 7pm. doing a reading and signing copies which will be on sale.
Tickets cost £7.50 and include sandwiches, snacks and a £2.50 discount off the price of the book.

You guys are commenting so quickly that my slow little netbook can't keep. My two cents-he's not going to let a crisis go to waste. He's full steam ahead with Cap & Trade "we can't afford not to…blah, blah, blah" Anybody feeling inspired? No?
We've known hard times before but the hard times have gotten worse in the last 18 months!

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Breakup Challenge with The Crazy Wise Woman
12 comments:
yay! i'm looking forward to your, and everyone's, updates. it's incredible how much food has an impact on your health, how you feel etc...since i overhauled my diet in 2012 (or was it 2011? it's been so long i can't remember), i have never felt or looked better. YOU GUYS CAN DO THIS!ReplyDelete
I love your post!!! I am so excited to rock this out with you! We are going to nail it together this time!!ReplyDelete
Whoa... good luck!! I've seen some other bloggers tackle this challenge and I think it's just too far out of my reach for now :) I will definitely be cheering you on from the sidelines though and I will (try to) break a habit of my own: biting my nails.ReplyDelete
It sounds stupid, but I've been doing it since I was 7 and I can't get myself to quit.
You guys already know that I am SO IN!!!! I have been terrible lately and feeling terrible as a result. I cant wait to kick my own ass next month!ReplyDelete
Good luck, ladies. I would try to join in but I either cannot give stuff up - specifically dairy & Mountain Dew. The stuff I could give up - booze - I don't do a whole lot to begin with. But I'll cheer you on from the sidelines! :)ReplyDelete
I'd love to, but we're on vacation in January in another country so no way could this happen. You go girls!ReplyDelete
Lol love this breakup idea. I so need this and some encouragement to get back into my smaller jeans. Let's do it!ReplyDelete
Sounds great!! I'm in! I love having some added accountability. Now to decide what I want to break up with.ReplyDelete
oh fabulous! i was so worried that y'all would want everyone to do the whole 30 and i'm not down with that. but i have plenty of crap i need to break up so definitely count me in.ReplyDelete
Looking forward to this challenge. I'm doing a pseudo Whole30 to get back on track!ReplyDelete

About us - The Warehousing Matchmaker
Your guide to finding the perfect warehouse for your requirements.
We are on a mission to become the number 1 place for tenants (businesses, big and small) to find warehousing space, whether that is for only one-hundred pallets, for a new facility to lease or an entire business acquisition.
So, how does uTenant work?
We connect tenants in need of space with landlords & Third-Party Logistics Providers (3PL's) who have space using our specialised platform.
At uTenant, our goals are:
- To standardise how businesses receive 3PL quotes and find a suitable warehousing partner for their product; and
- Removing the middleman from finding an industrial property by introducing tenants directly to landlords when they need a new facility.
As the Warehousing Matchmaker, we are:
- Helping businesses find a suitable 3PL or warehousing space at the best possible price at no cost;
- Helping 3PL's and businesses with excess space fill their warehouses; and
- Reducing fees for landlords and helping them find a tenant for their facilities faster and more efficiently.
What are the benefits of joining uTenant today?
- Transparency
- Confidentiality
-Time and cost-effectiveness
- Free for both tenants and 3PL's
At uTenant, we have four main services:
1. uTenant Warehousing & Logistics
The Australian supply chain, warehousing and logistics industry is an ever-changing, ever-complex landscape to navigate.
Amid freight forwarders, wharf cartage providers, 3PL's, transport/distribution providers, etc., it can be difficult to ascertain who is the best provider to store your product.
The uTenant platform simplifies the connection process between businesses who require pallet storage direct and 3PL's or other businesses that possess warehousing space. uTenant helps businesses navigate the complexities of finding a suitable 3PL or warehouse for their specific short- and/or long-term warehousing requirements.
One of the many challenges in the industry is that every 3PL in the market is unique, and each has a different charging mechanism or rate card. When you provide your requirements to uTenant through our system, we go to market confidentially on your behalf and speak to all available providers that have space.
Each provider that would like to quote on the work is provided with a uTenant standard rate card so you can compare available options.
Confidentiality is key at uTenant. As you may know, another challenge is once a business goes to market for 3PL or pallet storage, unsolicited calls about your requirements soon begin.
Getting started:
- List your warehousing requirements through our system.
- uTenant take your requirements to market and keep your name confidential.
- All available 3PL's with space quote on your work in a uTenant standard rate card.
- uTenant collects all rate cards from the respective 3PL's and provides to the client.
- The client chooses which 3PL they would like to speak with, and a direct introduction is made.
Most appealingly, uTenant does not add any additional margin or brokerage on this service offering. One of our major goals is to standardise how businesses receive 3PL quotes to ensure everyone is on a level playing field.
2. uTenant Property
For the Tenant
Why spend hours trawling through irrelavent property listings when you can make use of uTenant, the Warehousing Matchmaker?
Simply register on our website and complete your profile with your property requirements. uTenant will then curate a list of available, upcoming, and eligible properties and provide you with access to contact details so you can reach out to the landlord directly.
uTenant is 100% free for tenants to use, and once a transaction is complete, we share our fee with you. On the off chance we cannot find what you are looking for immediately, we will keep searching on your behalf. uTenant is here to guide you through the process.
For the Landlord
At uTenant, it costs nothing to list your property. All you need to do is register on our website and input your property details, and then our work begins.
We match your listing with tenant requirements and provide your contact details to compatiable tenants who have shown an interest in your property. Once a new transaction is complete, we charge a fee which is typically lower than traditional real estate agencies and is shared with your new tenant.
Landlords and developers can list current vacancies, upcoming vacancies, and pre-lease opportunities. Since all listings are hidden in our private database, you have the freedom to also list possible vacancies if a tenant of yours is eager to move out early but does not want to publicise said information
uTenant is entirely confidential for landlords and tenants alike until a match is made and both parties are notified.
3. uTenant Solutions & Consulting
A value added service for our clients/tenants of industrial property to assist with their goals and strategic growth plans - MORE TO FOLLOW
4. uTenant Mergers & Acquisitions (M & A)
A dedicated M & A service for logistics, transport & warehousing businesses in the Australian Supply Chain industry - MORE TO FOLLOW
A message from our founder
We strive to offer tenants, 3PL's and landlords an alternative to the way business has always been done. With your help, we will create a community of tenants who are trying to source space, and landlords and 3PL's who are trying to source tenants.
"We have built this platform for the landlords, 3PL's and tenants of industrial property within Australia because we believe there is an easier way to do things and together with the right input from the people at the heart of the industry we can make it happen."

Bartlesville Woman Arrested on False Impersonation, Drug Charges
A Bartlesville woman was arrested after providing a fake name to police and possessing methamphetamine. Kylee Hamlin appeared at the Washington County Courthouse on Thursday after being arrested early Wednesday morning.
According to an affidavit, a traffic stop was conducted on the 300 block of Queenstown Avenue in Bartlesville. Hamlin was the passenger in the vehicle and told officers her name was Kylea Henry. That name did not register anything in the computer system. Hamlin then handed over her driver's license with her true and correct name.
Hamlin also handed the officer three hypodermic needle and two plastic baggies. The syringes were filled with liquid that later field-tested to be methamphetamine. One bag contained crystal methamphetamine and the other contained a small amount of marijuana.
Hamlin has been arrested on drug charges previously. Her bond was set at $5,000.

Enhancement of speech-in-noise comprehension through neurostimulation
Transcranial current stimulation can influence neuronal activity. As a striking example, current stimulation paired to a speech signal, with the current following the speech envelope, can influence the comprehension of speech in background noise. The speech envelope is thereby a slowly-varing signal with frequency contributions that lie mostly in the delta and in the theta frequency bands. Here we show that the modulation of speech comprehension results from the theta band, but not from the delta band. Moreover, we find that the theta-band stimulation without an additional phase shift improves the speech comprehension as compared to a sham stimulus.

Measuring speech comprehension from EEG recordings
If hearing aids could measure how well a wearer understands speech, they might be able to optimize and adapt their signal processing to enable the best user experience. Hearing aids can potentially measure brain responses to speech from electrodes, but how this can inform on speech comprehension has remained unclear. Here we report significant progress on this issue. By combining machine learing with an experimental paradigm that allows to disentable lower-level acoustic brain responses from neural correlates of the higher-level speech comprehension, we show that speech comprehension can be decoded from scalp recordings.

Decoding attention to speech from the brainstem response to speech
We are often faced with high noise levels: in a busy pub or restaurant, for instance, many conversations occur simultaneously. People with hearing impairment typically find it difficult to follow a particular conversation, even when they use hearing aids. Current aids do indeed amplify all the surrounding sounds, not only the target. If a hearing aid could know which speaker a user aims to listen to, it could amplify that voice in particular and reduce background noise. Here we show that a hearing aid can potentially gain knowedlege of a user's attentional focus from measuring the auditory brainstem response from surface electrodes. We show in particular that short recordings, down to a few seconds, and a few scalp electrodes suffice for a meaningful decoding of auditory attention.

Neural responses to speech can help to diagnose brain injury
Brain injury such as following traffic or sports accidents can lead to severe disorders, including disorders of consciousness. This disorder is currently diagnosed through behavioural assessments, but this method fails when patients are not able to respond overtly. We investigated whether neural responses to speech as measured from the clinically-applicable EEG can aid to diagnose disorders of consciousness. We focussed on the neural tracking of the speech envelope that can index attention to speech as well as speech comprehension. We find that the latency of the neural envelope tracking related to the severity of the disorder of consciousness: patients in a vegetative state without signs of consciuosness showed neural responses to the speech envelope that were significantly delayed compared to patients that exhibited consciusness.

How we can tune in to a voice in background noise
In order to focus on a particular conversation, listeners need to be able to focus on the voice of the speaker they wish to listen to. This process is called selective attention and has been extensively studied within the auditory cortex. However, due to neural feedback from the cortex to lower auditory areas, the auditory brainstem as well as the inner ear, these structures may already actively participate in attending to a particular voice.
We have devised a mathematical method to measure the response of the auditory brainstem to the pitch of natural speech. In a controlled experiment on selective attention, we have then shown that the brainstem responds stronger to the pitch of the voice that a person is listening to than to that of the ignored voice. Our findings demonstrate that the brainstem contributes already actively to selective attention. They also show that the pitch of a voice can be a powerful cue to focus on that voice, which may inspire future speech-recognition technology.

Shape of hair bundles of inner and outer hair cells
The mammalian sense of hearing relies on two types of sensory cells: inner hair cells transmit the auditory stimulus to the brain, while outer hair cells mechanically modulate the stimulus through active feedback. Stimulation of a hair cell results from displacement of its mechanosensitive hair bundle. While hair bundles of inner hair cells are of linear shape, those of outer hair cells exhibit a distinctive V-shape. The biophysical rationale behind this morphology, however, has remained unknown.
We have used analytical and computational methods to study the fluid flow across rows of differently shaped hair bundles. We found that rows of V-shaped hair bundles have a considerably reduced resistance to crossflow, and that the biologically observed shapes of hair bundles of outer hair cells are near-optimal in this regard. This observation accords with the function of outer hair cells. Our work thereby suggest a biophysical rationale of the different shapes of hair bundles in the mammalian ear.

Mechanics of the inner ear at low frequencies
Low frequency sounds, below four kilohertz, are used by human ears for perceiving speech. However, the exact mechanism for how the inner ear processes these sounds is poorly understood, as the organ is difficult to access in experiments. Recently we have proposed that low-frequency hearing may employ unidirectional amplification: the mechanosensitive hair cells then amplify vibration but do not feed back to the inner ear's basilar membrane (Reichenbach and Hudspeth, PNAS 2010).
We have now employed laser-interferometric measurements in vitro as well as optical-coherence tomography in vivo to investigate cochlar mechanics at low frequencies. We find that the basilar membrane moves only little, and the motion is confined to a small region below the outer hair cells. These findings suggest that mechanical amplification by outer hair cells does not feed back significantly to the basilar membrane as hypothesized earlier. Our experiments open a route for a comprehensive understanding of low-frequency cochlear mechanics.

Auditory brainstem response to continuous monotone speech
Speech has voiced part, the spectrogram of which are characterized by a fundamental frequency and higher harmonics. The fundamental frequency lies typically between 100 and 250 Hz for men, and can be somehwat higher for women. Previous experiments on many repated presentations of the same voiced element of speech have shown that neurons in the auditory brainstem respond at the fundamental frequency, but it has remained unclear what role this brainstem response plays in speech processing.
We habe begun to investigate this issue by recording brainstem responses to continuous, non-repetitive speech signals. To ease the read-out of the brainstem response, we have made speech monotone. The fundamental frequency that normally varies is thus constant. We show that the brainstem responds at that constant frequency, and that this response is larger for unintelligible speech played in reverse than for the standard intelligible speech played in a forward manner. Further experiments are required to determine whether this difference signals a modulation of the brainstem response by speech intelligibility or differences in the acoustic structure between forward and reverse speech.

Neural response to the beat of music
Cortical oscillations in the delta and theta frequency band are known to track the envelope of an attended speech signal. Music has similar spatio-temporal characteristics as speech. Do cortical oscillation accordingly play a role in music perception as well?
We have designed an experiment to begin to explore this hypothesis. Using well-controlled musical stimuli we show that the neural acticity of the cerebral cortex responds to the beat of music. We further show that this steady-state brain response informs on the comprehension of music as well as on attention. Our findings can lead to a better diagnosis of amusia, a disorder in the processing of music, as well as to a better assessment of cognition and awareness in patients with traumatic brain injury.

Review on the biophysics of hearingWe have written a comprehensive review on the active biophysics of hearing that has been published in Reports on Progress in Physics. The review gives an accessible presentation of the intricate functioning of the inner ear, from its nonlinear fluid dynamics to active amplifcation in hair cells and their mechanosensitive ion channels. We hope that the review serves new students and researchers entering the field. Established researchers may benefit from an exposition of current controversies and open topics.

Bone conduction and otoacoustic emissionsMany of us may not be aware that our skull also transmits sound to our ears. This is why we cringe when we hear a recording of our own voice: normally we hear our voice both through air as well as through bone conduction. When we listen to a recording, the bone conduction is missing, which makes our voice sound different. However, the mechanism of bone conduction remain poorly understood. This contrast with recent commercial usage of bone conduction in headphones, notably in the new Google Glass device.
In a new mathematical and computational study in Nat. Commun. we show that sound can deform the bone that houses the inner ear. These deformations can travel as waves and elicit a hearing sensation. We show that the same deformation of the bone can also play a role in the emission of sound form the ear, so-called otoacoustic emission. These are important clinically as they can be used to assess healthy hearing.
The work is covered in a popular-science radio broadcast on Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (rbb, Germany). The podcast, with Dr. T. Tchumatchenko, is available here (in German). The work has also been featured in a news story by Imperial College as well as in a news story by the Max-Planck Society.

It should be easy to entertain a bunch of toddlers… but it really isn't. With their short attention span, low tolerance for frustration, and limited knowledge on a variety of topics, it can seem like a real challenge to come up with a game that a bunch of 3 year olds can truly enjoy and appreciate. This is something all preschool teachers and parents to small kids already know.
Table of Contents
So if you're throwing a party for a bunch of kids, how can you make sure they're going to have fun? Well, these fun games for 3 year olds can make the ideal solution against those boredom blues.
Pass the Parcel
The mechanics of this game are fairly simple, and it works great with younger kids. Of course, it does need quite a bit of preparation, but Pass the Parcel is a big hit because of the excitement and anticipation that it builds up as the kids unwrap the secret prize being passed around.
What You Need:
- Colored paper or newspaper
- A surprise gift
- Music player
How to Play:
- Before the game itself, you need to prepare your parcel.
- Wrap the gift in layers upon layers of newspaper or whatever paper you have available. The more layers, the better.
- Have the children sit around in a circle and instruct them before you start the game.
- When the music starts, the parcel will be passed around the circle.
- When the music stops, the kid holding the parcel will remove one of the layers covering it.
- After that, the music resumes and the kids pass the parcel again.
- The game proceeds like this until the parcel is completely uncovered.
- The player holding the parcel at the end of the game gets to take home the prize.
Obstacle Course
Kids love to roll around and experiment with their little bodies, which is why obstacle courses are a common favorite among teachers and parents. Set up a nifty little course for your kids to run through and give prizes away to your winners for a fun, easy, and healthy game for your three year old and her friends.
What You Need:
- Household items and furniture that you can use to create a safe obstacle course
- A timer
How to Play:
- You can have as little as two players for your obstacle course. If you have more than two players, consider splitting them up into teams so kids can take turns running the course.
- Set-up your obstacle course. There are no rules! Just make sure everything is safe. Here's a recommended set-up that you can try:
Set up a table for your players to crawl under
Place about 4 feet of packaging tape on the floor in a single straight line. Have the kids walk on the tape like a tightrope. If a kid steps off of the line, then have them start again from the beginning of that station.
Mark out 4 X's on the ground with tape. Have the kids hop from X to X without losing balance.
Have them carry three large pillows without dropping any to reach the final station of the course.
At the end, set up a small table with a simple 6-piece jigsaw puzzle.
The first kid to complete the course wins the round.
Let kids take turns going through the course, and make sure they all wear non-slip socks to prevent any accidents.
Treasure Hunt
If you have a big space – like your backyard – and you're thinking of fun birthday games for 3 year olds, then Treasure Hunt can be loads of great fun. While it might call for some preparation before the party itself, a Treasure Hunt can be an ideal game if you're trying to break the ice or to get your players to move around and shake off any shyness, since toddlers tend to struggle with warming up during parties.
What You Need:
- Small cups or containers for each kid
- Lots of pieces of candies or small toys
- One major prize
How to Play:
- Before the party starts, go around the party space hiding candies, lollipops, and any other little knick-knacks you've prepared.
- Get creative with how you hide them. Stick them under chairs, tables, behind decor, or in flower arrangements.
- Make sure to consider the height of your players. Avoid hiding pieces in places where the kids might not be able to reach them.
- As the party starts, instruct your kids that you've hidden candies and other small toys around the venue.
- Their task is to find as many of the hidden items as they can with the given time.
- Give each child a cup or container where they can keep all of the little pieces of candy or toys that they find.
- Let the kids go off on a treasure hunt.
- When the time is up, gather all the participating children and have them count the pieces of candy and toys they managed to find.
- The kid with the most gets to win the major prize.
Prize Walk
Don't like seeing any of the kids unhappy about not getting a prize? At the ripe age of three, most kids don't really understand why some kids get prizes when they don't and it can be a real downer. So if you want to make sure all of the players at your party have an equal chance of winning, then Prize Walk can be a wonderful game.
What You Need:
- Big pieces of paper for kids to stand on.
- Markers
- A small basket or bowl
- Smaller pieces of paper to draw like a raffle
- Music player
How to Play:
- Number each of the big pieces of paper so that all of the players will have one to step on. If you have 20 kids playing, make sure you have 20 pieces of paper prepared.
- Write the same numbers of the smaller pieces of paper.
- Place all of these small pieces into a basket or a bowl.
- Position the bigger pieces of paper on the floor, a few feet away from each other.
- Tape them down to make sure they don't move around as you play.
- Instruct your players before you start the game.
- When the music plays, kids should dance around the play area.
- When the music stops, kids need to stand on one of the different pieces of paper on the floor.
- The game master then picks a random number from the bowl.
- The kid stepping on the same number then wins a prize.
- Keep playing until you run out of prizes to give away.
- For bigger kids, you can mix up the game to make it a little harder. Before the kids can win a prize, ask them an age-appropriate trivia question. If they get it right, give a major prize. If not, then you can hand over one of the smaller prizes.
Marble Race
The Marble Race is a simple game that tests your kids' balance, motor skills, and hand eye coordination. Relatively simple but providing just the right challenge for small kids, the Marble Race can be a great way to get toddlers to warm up to your party so they feel more willing to join other games along the way.
What You Need:
- Small spoons, like tea spoons
- Marbles
- Three chairs
- Three bowls
How to Play:
- Set up the collection station (one chair with a bowl) at the end of the race area. For smaller kids like three year olds, consider a shorter race distance like 5 feet. Adjust the distance as your participants get older.
- At the start of the race distance, set up one chair with a bowl full of marbles.
- There should be two stations. Each team gets one station.
- Kids are divided into two teams. The members of the teams are arranged into a line right before the start of the race distance. The bowl full of marbles should be between the two lines.
- When the game master says 'go', the first player from each team uses a teaspoon to pick up one marble.
- The kids then walk the distance to the collection bowl.
- Each member will then drop their marble into the bowl and run back to their designated team.
- Then, the next member in the line will take the teaspoon and pick up a marble to bring to the collection bowl.
- Players who drop the marble before reaching the end of the race distance need to pick up a new marble and start again.
- The first team to be able to complete the race with all members dropping a marble into the bowl will be called the winner.
- If you want to make sure all the kids get gratified for their effort, consider giving consolation prizes to the other team.
Bring Me
If you've got a crowd at your kiddie party, then Bring Me can get everyone to join in on the fun. While the game mainly involves small kids, Bring Me can be loads of fun for adults, too, especially if you consider the kind of stuff that you ask the children to bring to the table.
How to Play:
- Everyone in the crowd can play.
- The game master instructs the audience before starting the game.
- A list of items will be mentioned one by one, and the toddlers are responsible for bringing those items to the front of the party venue where the game master is standing.
- For instance, the game master might ask for the kids to 'Bring me the longest leather belt!'
- Adults can help kids by giving them the items to bring to the stage.
- The kids who bring the items fastest are given prizes.
- To make things more fun, you can ask for quirky requirements, like 'Bring me the biggest uncle!' or 'Bring me the coolest dad!'
- Remember – entries are only accepted if a toddler brings them to the stage! So if a cool dad pops up beside you without a kid towing him in, then it's not considered an entry!
Balloon Relay
Here's a fun game that tests your players' creativity and motor skills! Perfect for bigger groups, Balloon Relay can wake up your kids' senses and get them to really give their all to win the prize. If you've got a few bigger kids in the mix, Balloon Relay can be an excellent way to have all of your kids playing together with a game they'll all enjoy.
What You Need:
- Balloons, enough for each team
- Stools
How to Play:
- Divide your players into teams. You can have just two teams, or more, depending on how many players and prizes you have.
- Inflate enough balloons so that each team will have one balloon. It's best if you can color code the balloons too – the first team will get a red balloon, the second, a blue balloon, and so on.
- Place the stool at the end of the relay area. Each team will work around one stool, so make sure there's enough stools for each playing team.
- The instructions are simple – run the distance of the relay area and go around the stool to return to the team.
- Along the way, the kids need to bring along an inflated balloon which they can't drop.
- The kids are not allowed to hold the balloon with their hands.
- If a kid drops the balloon along the way, then they need to return to the start of the race area and re-do the entire relay.
- As they reach the end of the relay area back to their team, the kids will pass the balloon to the next player on their team.
- The first team to be able to get all their players to run around the stool and back again without dropping the balloon will be named the winners.
- Consider giving out consolation prizes to the non-winning teams as well.

KARACHI (Web Desk) Terming the upcoming T20 cricket series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka a good omen, Mayor Wasim Akhtar on Tuesday demanded that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) organise at least one of the matches of the highly anticipated contest in Karachi.
"This is a welcome sign that the drought of international cricket [in Pakistan] is finally ending, thus, it is high time that the country's largest city deserves to get at least one match in the upcoming series," said the mayor while speaking to reporters at his office.
Karachi's famous National Stadium hosted its last ODI and Test match against Sri Lanka in January and February of 2009 in the series which proved to be Pakistan's last exposure to international cricket when the Sri Lankan team was attacked on the third day of the Lahore Test near Gaddafi Stadium in March.The city mayor promised a 'foolproof' security plan for players and officials by effectively engaging police and paramilitary Rangers if a match was awarded to the city.
He thanked the Sri Lanka cricket authorities for sending their players to Pakistan and pledged that the cricket-loving residents of Karachi would shower immense love on the visiting islanders, who, "despite what happened in the past are helping us to revive the most popular sport in the country."Once we host our Sri Lankan brothers, it will surely encourage other international teams to visit us in future."
He said Karachi had been a popular venue, which had witnessed several memorable and thrilling bouts in the past. "Our sportsmanship has been praised by the rest of the world, and it is an open secret that international players felt proud to play in Karachi."

Geza Nagy and his fellow Hungarian soldiers began the longest walk of their lives by following a trackless path across endless expanses of ice and snow. They shivered their way across blindingly white landscapes during the day. At night, the darkness was all consuming, not only up in the sky, but also in each man's soul. Who knows how many of them dropped dead along the way? This nightmare continued for weeks on end. Five long months of frost bite or knee deep mud, with defeat and death shadowing their every step. Somehow, despite the distance and the weather, in a land swarming with enemy partisans, thousands of haggard, tired Hungarian soldiers, epitomized by men like Geza Nagy, managed to stumble their way back to Hungary. They were home, but the war was far from over.
Out of Death & Into Life
Brian said that Nagy was only allowed a brief respite in his homeland before the Soviet Army reappeared. They had fought their way from the Don to the Danube. Communism was ascendant in Hungary and for that matter, in Eastern Europe as well. The Soviet Army brought the Cold War with them. Having been an officer in the old Hungarian Army made Nagy a wanted man. As an intellectual, he was also an enemy of the state. Nagy did not wait to be arrested, he left his country behind. Somehow he had survived to live another life. And what a life it turned out to be. Geza Nagy's postwar life raises more questions than answers. What was his role during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956? What was he doing in his work for Interpol? How did he get to Canada, then the United States? A life of learning and scholarship had been transformed into one filled with mystery, intrigue and adventure. Did this compensate for the shame of defeat, loss and exile that had preceded it? Who can say? Perhaps even Nagy himself did not know the answer to that question.
While Geza Nagy was running from one war to the next, Brian Walton was hard at work in school, excelling in every subject imaginable. He was a brilliant student, one of his nation's brightest minds, the polar opposite of his surroundings. The post-war Britain he grew up in was not one of majesty and splendor, but of gritty factories and brown skies. Britain may have been on the winning side during the war, but it had hardly been victorious. The war left a long shadow over the British economy that stretched all the way into the 1960's. After completing his university education at Cambridge, Brian Walton fled west as well. He came to the United States where professorships and pay were much greater. America was the land of opportunity for those exiled by war, economics or ideology.
Good Men & Bad Causes – The Voice of Russia
The legacy of World War II shaped the lives of Nagy and Walton as it did to millions of others. It pushed them far away from their respective homelands. It also brought them together. Who would have imagined that a brilliant intellectual from a small village in the Zemplin Hills of Hungary and a British scholar raised in the public housing of gritty, industrial Stockport would come to teach the history of western Civilization in a beautiful backwater of the Appalachian Mountains? They brought brilliance with them, but also their own attitudes and prejudices as well. Brian said that Nagy still professed an undying belief in the cause for which he had fought, even though it nearly destroyed him and his country. That cause turned out to be a hopeless one. The attempt to restore historic Hungary by aligning with the fascists only brought suffering, sorrow and decades of Soviet occupation to Hungary. Nagy and his country came to regret their mistake not just one time, but continuously.
"Plenty of good men have died for bad causes" were the words Brian once used to describe the disastrous folly of so many wrong-headed wars. That quote brings to mind all of those Hungarian soldiers who were swallowed up by the sheer size, scale and epic mismanagement of the Hungarian 2nd Army. Nagy escaped with his life, but only for a while. Eventually the Eastern Front caught up with him as well. Brian said Nagy used to cough horribly from bronchial problems he had contracted during the icy retreat. The wheezing, the hoarse coughing, might be interpreted as a voice from Russia, echoing down the decades as a cruel reminder of the horrors of war. In 1976, Geza Nagy finally died. His heart, of such great courage, was not enough to overcome the weakness of his lungs.
Haunted by History – The Difference Between Us
As for Brian Walton, at the time of Nagy's death he was much younger, healthier and in the prime of his life. He would teach all the way into the 21st century. In his lifetime the British Empire collapsed, but the British economy surged once again. The row house in which he grew up was knocked down and housing for the middle class erected in its place. The war into which he was born became a distant, yet distinct memory. He never quite trusted the Germans, but fear of the Teutonic juggernaut, which had once ruled Europe and threatened the very existence of Britain, slowly disappeared. Time and distance healed many of the war's wounds, but scars still remained.
Brian never really believed that Europe could be truly unified. The European Union was an artificial creation, an attempt to keep the Germans from becoming too powerful. If not German military power, than German economic power would come to rule Europe. The French were obsessed with being difficult, the British were not continentals and never would be, the Italians were wonderful people, but their politicians ridiculous, other European countries were too small. The only exception was Russia, which wasn't really European. It was riddled with corruption and hell bent on screwing things up. Europe's past was its future, but God forbid another cataclysmic war should come to Europe. Brian never had to see that day, he died in July just as Russian troops were crossing the border into the Ukraine.
*An End Note: Brian Walton, like Geza Nagy spent his professional life studying and teaching history. He had a natural curiosity about all things historical, but even the most brilliant scholars are limited by time and interest. This was especially true for Brian when it came to Eastern European history of which only knew a very limited amount. Perhaps this had something to do with the era he was born into. For nearly fifty years, Eastern Europe was closed off behind an Iron Curtain. Most of what Brian knew about the region's past came from Eastern Europeans themselves, men such as Geza Nagy. The anecdotal evidence from one man's experiences can be more telling than thousands of pages of facts. This was certainly true of Geza Nagy and it was also true of Brian Walton. These men not only taught history, they also helped make it. By looking back at their lives and their experiences we can, just for a moment, recapture the past. In death, as in life, they are still teaching us history.

Their look is based on the firm's first stores, in which warm tones and contrasting floors predominated. The stores' atmospheres, with the color yellow prevailing, is complemented by a range of intense colors and an original floor featuring a vitreous gray and cream mosaic, its design different at each store. The spaces are fun and cheerful, with some imaginative touches, like birdhouses and furniture in the shape of animals. These are emotional stores with open windows, beckoning one to enter and turning the point of sale into a special place offering customers a totally different kind of shopping experience.
