God finds unexpected support in constitution debate
Among the other issues on the table at Brussels was the heated question of whether to add a reference to Europe's Judeo Christian heritage to the constitution's preamble. Some states like secular France are strongly opposed. In staunchly Roman Catholic Poland, on the other hand, government and opposition have united in calling for a mention of God. Other countries in favour of a reference to Europe's Christian heritage are Ireland, Spain, Italy and, perhaps surprisingly, the Czech Republic.
"The Czech lands are the most atheistic in Europe. According to the census some thirty percent of Czechs say they are Catholics, but for example you have these funny people who when you ask them 'are you Catholic?' they say 'yeah, I'm Catholic'. 'And do you practice?'. 'Of course, I go to Mass every Christmas'. Some five, eight percent of Czechs are practising Catholics, some one percent are Protestants.'
Despite the Czech people's indifference to religion, the Czech Republic has joined such countries as Poland, Spain and Malta in demanding a reference in the EU constitution to the continent's Christian Heritage. Why? Ivo Slosarcik of the Prague-based think tank Europeum says the reasons are political, not spiritual.
"One of the parties in the coalition, the Christian Democratic Party, the People's Party, are the second biggest in the three-party government. But they are very influential and the minister of foreign affairs is from the People's Party. So that was one of the reasons why this reference occurred, because it was partially his mandate, from his party, to have it in the constitution."
So, Christian Democrat Foreign Minister Cyril Svoboda has succeeded in forcing his party's policy onto the Czech Republic's list of demands.
Unfortunately for the government, most of the country's other demands seem to be a bit too complicated for many Czechs to understand, says Ivo Slosarcik. That perhaps explains why there has been some debate about the question of God in the EU constitution
"Much more coverage has been given to this Christian heritage issue than say to the redistribution of votes in the Council of Ministers, or the question of the transfer from unanimity to majority voting on some very crucial policies. This is much more complicated than just to say there's a reference to Christianity and the reason why it's given such big attention is really its simplicity."
Relatively simple the concept may be, but the fact the largely atheistic Czech Republic has been calling for a reference to Christianity in the constitution must count as one of the most curious aspects of the inter-governmental conference.

In the RSFA Board meeting last Thursday October 3rd, frustration over cut through rush hour traffic was expressed by most people in attendance. The County was taken to task for not funding roundabouts. Some people brought up a possible solution of building a road connecting Del Dios Highway to Camino Del Sur. This would offload a fair bit of cut through traffic from our two lane roads onto Camino Del Sur's four lane road.
As it happens there is, currently, a route that does not disturb any currently built up areas. ie. it is possible to build such a road without requiring any existing structures be moved or residential areas be impacted. Here's the route in white:
The northern end isn't near anything. It is well east of the Crosby and a bit west of the Del Dios dam. The southern end has a high school on the west side and a commercial water reclamation facility on the east.
I'm no expert, but this connection strikes me as a great idea for many reasons. It would alleviate some Rancho Santa Fe rush hour cut through traffic. It would give residents with access to Del Dios a better way of reaching a plethora of retail, restaurant, and service destinations in the 4S Ranch and Del Sur neighborhoods.
However, time is of the essence. Obviously, that route isn't going to remain untouched for long. At some point, it will be filled in with housing developments. Indeed, one way to pay for this is to require any new housing developments in this area to build such a road connector. I am hoping that we can get some political will and focus to make something like this a reality.

Better quantum chips
By Matt Reagor, Director of Engineering
Building quantum computers that surpass the capabilities of classical computers requires not just more qubits, but better qubits. To perform longer and more complex computations, we need qubits to stay in a quantum state as long as possible without losing energy to their environment. The way we fabricate superconducting quantum circuits plays an important role in qubit performance.
Our fab process has hundreds of steps and dozens of components and materials, making it hard to distinguish whether and how small variations in the process contribute to individual qubit performance. In the largest study of its kind, we evaluated specific combinations of manufacturing processes using 150 qubits. Today we're sharing our results describing an end-to-end series of optimizations that produced qubits with functional lifetimes as high as 110μs. These improvements will be integrated into our QCS platform in the coming months.
Optimizing interfaces
When amorphous materials cool to near absolute zero temperatures, their disorder allows for nanoscopic pockets of electrical charge to get frozen in. Surfaces and interfaces between materials on devices tend to host these amorphous traps. How many of these traps form is largely determined by the fabrication steps used to make the device.
Tiny amounts of noise are generated when these pockets charge and discharge. It turns out that superconducting qubits are sensitive enough to detect these events. In fact, these switching traps ("two-level systems") have been shown to be a leading source of decoherence. We show in this work that integrating fabrication improvements for three key device interfaces yields substantially better qubits.
Substrate-metal interface
Superconducting qubits are made on insulating (silicon) wafers. The region where the superconducting metal of a qubit sits on the silicon defines the substrate-metal interface. This region is amorphous and a source of noise for qubits. Removing oxide from the silicon surface before metal deposition has been shown to reduce the amorphous layer between metal and silicon, resulting in better superconducting resonators and recently, qubits. Our new results quantify the improvement associated with this technique across many qubits (improving from 40 μs to 70 μs), and moreover, we show that this technique is compatible with other interface improvements.
Device-air interfaces
The top surface of metal-silicon chips can also host metal oxides and silicon oxides that are difficult to control. The microscopic structure of these surfaces can play a role in the amount of noise that's trapped. To understand these effects, we fabricated qubits under different reactive ion etch conditions. We correlated cross-sectional profile images from scanning-electron microscopes to noise levels, and found that removing roughness from these surfaces can account for T1 improvements from 30 μs to 70 μs.
Metal-metal interface
Integrating Josephson junctions (the nonlinear elements that make qubits interesting) into our superconducting qubits requires connecting two metal layers together (a metal-metal interface). To investigate this loss channel, we establish connection between aluminum and niobium using two primary approaches. In the first method, we vary the dimension of an Al metal layer that overlays Nb. In the second method, a second electron beam lithography step exposes a small area at the Al-Nb border where an in situ ion milling step at high power removes the Nb oxide before the deposition of an Al bandage layer. While the relative merit of these two approaches have been debated, our study directly compares them. We find that both can be optimized to reach similar values (T1 = 70 ± 22 μs and T1 = 76 ± 13 μs, respectively).
These average decay times are ~4x longer than those demonstrated on our previous 19Q-Acorn chip, with the best qubits showing T1>100μs. Applying this framework to modules beyond this study could result in lower noise solid state quantum computers in the future.
While our quantum chips benefit from decades of silicon manufacturing insights and techniques, two things at Rigetti made it possible for our team to approach silicon manufacturing R&D for quantum devices in a new way. First, we have the only captive solid state qubit foundry, Fab-1. Fab-1 (and the deep technical expertise of the engineers who run it) allows us to quickly explore new manufacturing concepts on real silicon. Equally important, Rigetti has also built the world's most advanced quantum software stack. Device characterization here is now largely automated, which our R&D teams leverage to test ideas at scale.
Fab-1 and Rigetti's test infrastructure made it possible for us to show, for the first time, that silicon processing techniques can be optimized in an end-to-end manufacturing process. With enough statistics (roughly 150 qubits reported in the experiment), we were able to quantify the effect of each improvement directly.
We're now working to incorporate the insights from this work into our production processes, and continuing to investigate further optimizations to accelerate the pursuit of low-noise quantum computers.

Dan Harmon Returns For Community Season 5!
In probably one of the most highly welcomed twitter notices of all time, Dan Harmon confirmed that he will be heading back to care for his cult-favourite television show Community after a year long absence to helm the upcoming Season 5. As all fans of the show know and for those that have just started to catch up on Community via bittorrent or Netflix (that's okay, you're forgiven) - Community is the story of a diverse group of community college students that attend probably the worst college in America; Greendale Community College, school motto E Pluribus Anus and their gender non-specific mascot the Human Being. It was initially centered around Jeff Winger aka Joel McHale as a disbarred self-obsessed lawyer who had to return to school to earn a law degree and the study group he formed grow into a show about friends, family and ... well, that's bullsh*t. Let's just say when a show does a pretty decent rip on current zombie culture with a Halloween episode that involves everybody turning into 'quasi-zombies' due to some infected army D-grade taco beef, thanks to the budget cutting Lady Gaga-dressed Dean, you know that something else is there. Something fresh and exciting; it was the evolution of comedy and some of us were trying to yell through the canned laugh track noise of dozens of other sitcoms that here was one that actually could make you laugh out loud, by yourself. Most of this could be credited to Dan Harmon, a fantastic nut who obsessed on minute details, that pushed the comedy envelope in much the same way Arrested Development and The Office did. He was a man who tried hard to stay as true to his vision(s) as possible in the eyeball-pulling politics of American prime time television. In his obsession to continually push the bar further and to impress the subsequent fans he was creating, people slowly started to notice. Bad people. People who had money and still paid attention to Nielsen Ratings and such and constantly informed him that the show's ratings weren't all that high, despite what the few people on the internet said. They were people of a different age that are slowly dying off as the internet continues to mold popular opinion and demand. While Nielsen Ratings may help decide which Reality TV shows are shown to keep America dumb, the internet is working hard to keep shows with intelligence alive in the face of whatever 'Poor White Trash USA' or 'Rich White Trash USA' reality show that is coming up next on specialty cable. Dan Harmon's rehiring may have as much to do with the success of Arrested Development's highly anticipated yet unorthodox Netflix-funded 4th season and the talks of the movie to go along with it; Community plugged the idea of six seasons and a movie (something the fans had been demanding) into their Season 4 Finale. I ventured here that it would be lucky to make it to a Season 5 (it has) much less 6 (yet to be determined). I stand by my opinion that Community was missing Dan Harmon something fierce, like the Titanic was missing a stronger hull but if anybody can get Community back on top, it will be Harmon. When Dan Harmon called out Chevy Chase as being an a**hole and basically to go 'f**k himself' in front of the entire crew at the Season 3 Wrap Party, it was definitely an uncool move by a guy that was obviously just holding it together after the continued pressure of being at the leading edge of comedy in television. When Chevy Chase told NBC that it was either Harmon or him, it was from a guy who's feelings were hurt. Chevy Chase had built a career on being a bit of a dick to some people, but also being one of the funniest guys working in the 80's. He wanted the respect that he felt he deserved. Dan Harmon wanted someone who would not continually question what the hell was going on in the latter half of season 3, just to shut up and trust him. It came down to what was more important to the show by the people that signed the checks, the name recognition power of Chevy Chase or the odd nutball in the writer's room, who wanted to have a show completely done in 8 bit animation and do an episode about a sabotaged biology experiment involving a squashed yam in the style of Law and Order. Harmon out, Chase in. It took a rather lackluster season to make NBC executives realize that Dan Harmon is to Community what Mitch Hurwitz is to Arrested Development. Without one, you can't have the other. The failure of the Dan Harmon-less Community has enforced to some extent that in Hollywood, in today's day and age the aging star is only as good as the guy who writes his lines. I can't imagine the tension on set as people (who shall remain nameless here) tried to recreate the Dan Harmon touch on the show. Chevy Chase may have won the war but he lost the popularity contest and he all but disappeared from the show as a shadow of his former self, ironically much like his movie presence in the 90's. It's a welcome change from what primarily is a Top-down creative imbalance in the Entertainment Power Structure. Some of the world's most beautiful people have expressed words of beauty, hilarity and shame to either great Oscar-winning effects or have delivered the same words to near career destroying infamy while the person who wrote those words is often overlooked. The success of shows like Arrested Development and Community are due to the passion of people of semi-uncompromising vision. They are surrounded by strong writers and cast that help foster and shape that vision so that there still is a future for those that have the passion, especially those that have the passion to rave about it on the internet. Thank you Netflix, thank you Community. Chase Out, Harmon in.

Alleged fraud: ICPC seals country home of federal lawmaker in EnuguCorruption Politics, Headlines, House, Legislature Friday, August 2nd, 2019
By Emmanuel Acha
The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC) in Enugu State says it has sealed the premises of a federal lawmaker from Enugu North Senatorial Zone of the state.
A statement on Friday by the Head, Public Enlightenment and Education Unit of the commission, Mr Suleiman Godwin, said that the action followed an alleged plan by the lawmaker to stash away items procured for constituency intervention in the zone.
Godwin said that items worth over N100 million were involved in the shoddy deal.
The statement read in part:" Operatives of the ICPC, Enugu Office has traced to the country home of a prominent politician from Uzo Uwani Local Government Area of the state items purchased for intervention in the zone.
"The discovery followed the constituency projects tracking of the ICPC as directed by the chairman of the commission.
"Among the items seized are 51 tricycles, 228 motorcycles, 203 grinding machines and five electricity transformers.
"The premises in which the items were stashed away has been sealed by the ICPC," he said.
Godwin said that the commission had begun investigations on the circumstances surrounding the incident. (NAN)

He Asked - Jesus Answered
Contributed by Bill Butsko on Oct 9, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: Some people are willing to fulfill the requirement to attain eternal life in God's kingdom and some find it difficult.
Text: "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (v. 17)
Did you ever ask that question? Have you ever given any thought to how one inherits eternal life or how one can be assured of spending eternity with Jesus in His kingdom?
There are people who do not give consideration to what will happen after their life on earth is over. In fact, some people believe that this is it, meaning there is no life after this life. Some people believe there is a heaven and some people believe there is a hell. Others don't believe one way or the other.
As Christians and believers in what the Word of God says, we know in our heart that heaven and hell do exist. There are Christians who are wealthy and have all the material possessions one could ask for and there are Christians who are very poor and have no worldly possessions.
We all know that when we leave this earthly life, we take nothing with us. The important thing is that we know where we are headed when we take our last breath.
Mark records these words: "Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, 'Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?'"
Luke's recording states, "Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, 'Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?'" (Luke 18:18).
Matthew records this same event just a little bit different. His recording says, "Now behold, one came and said to Him, 'Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?'" (Matthew 19:16).
Mark's version indicates to us that Jesus and His disciples were walking along the road, perhaps just leaving town, when someone ran to catch up with Him. The man had something on his mind that was disturbing him. He kneeled down before Jesus and addressed Him as "Good Teacher".
This man must have known something about Jesus because he kneeled before Him as one bowing his soul in search for help. The act of kneeling before one shows great respect or admiration for that person. Then the man addressed Jesus as "Good Teacher" which indicates he was serious in what he was doing. He was like a student eager to get an answer to a question. He was willing to listen to what the teacher had to say. The question he was about to ask Jesus was one of utmost importance in the life of the man.
The man asked Jesus this question, "….what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" (v. 17) This man thought eternal life depended upon what he did. There are people today who think they must work their way into heaven. In other words, all their good works entitles them to a reward and that reward is a room in the mansion just over the hilltop.
Our good works will not save us and get us into heaven. We cannot work to save ourselves. God's Word says, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is a gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Salvation is a gift. A gift is something given to us by another person. The person giving the gift does not want compensation or payment for the gift because they are giving it to us free of charge. God gave us the gift of salvation by grace. We are not required to work for it or pay for it. We need to thank Him for it just like we thank someone here on earth who has given us a gift.
The man asked the question that was on his mind and Jesus answered with these words: "You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, so not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother'" ( Mark 10:19).
When the man heard Jesus' response, he probably stood up straight with shining eyes proud as a peacock because he said, "all these I have kept since I was a boy" (v. 20). The man's pride showed through like a bright star. Unfortunately, for the man, Jesus could see beneath the man's pride.
Jesus brought out the true nature of the man when He said, "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." (v. 21)
This is not the response the man wanted to hear because there was a barrier between the man and Jesus' response. The man had great wealth and he was proud of what he had. His love of money was placed before his love for God. His attitude concerning money and his wealth was a barrier between him and God's first commandment. The man could not stand to give up all his possessions and turn his life over to God the Father. He turned and went away sad.

Did you know people from all around the United States are putting bears in their windows so people can go on a "bear hunt"? Try putting a bear in your window, or take a drive or walk around your neighborhood to see if you can spot any!
For her second story, Shilo reads "Corduroy" by Don Freeman with a little help from her daughter Sylivia.

2016 Jeremy Grunin
Phil Stilton made this OPRA request to Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office
Dear Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
I am seeking copies of court filings, complaints, charges related to the case of State vs. Jeremy Grunin of Toms River during the period between July 17, 2016 and July 17, 2018.
I am also seeking a copy of the conflict documents sent by Ocean County Prosecutors Office regarding this case.
Please, also , if possible provide case resolution documents, filings.
This case was transferred from Ocean County to Atlantic County due to conflict.
Atttached is the police incident report issued by Island Heights Police Department:
M.V. Accident – On Sunday July 17, 2016 @ 12:23am, while on patrol, Patrolman Robert Sinnott observed what appeared to be a lot of smoke in the roadway on Central Ave. Upon arrival at the scene, there were two vehicles into a pole both with extensive damage. The 2nd vehicle was occupied by a male who had blood running down his face. At this time, Ptl. Sinnott notified the county dispatch to dispatch fire & first aid. Ptl. Sinnott quickly exited his vehicle to check on the driver of the vehicle, at which time, the driver backed his car up and began to drive away. Ptl. Sinnott was yelling to the driver to "stop" but he continued on his way. Ptl. Sinnott when returning to his vehicle, saw the vehicle lose control and crash into a parked car pushing it along the curb. Ptl. Sinnott went over to the vehicle and spoke with the driver who did not realize he was just in two accidents and he stated to Ptl. Sinnott that everything was ok and he was going home. Ptl. Sinnott advised him to stay in his car while he checked the other vehicles. As Ptl. Sinnott walked away, he started up his vehicle and began to drive away. Ptl. Sinnott signaled him to stop and he did not acknowledge his order. Ptl. Sinnott concerned for the driver's safety and others, reached his hand in attempt to turn off the vehicle but he began to drive away while Ptl. Sinnott was ordering him to stop his vehicle. Ptl. Sinnott at this point stepped away from the vehicle and returned to his marked unit to follow and stop the vehicle in question. Ptl. Sinnott activated his lights & siren and the vehicle stopped. Ptl. Sinnott advised the driver to turn off his car and give him his keys and he did. As Ptl. Sinnott again attempted to check on the other vehicles, the car started up due to it having a key fob. Ptl. Sinnott quickly opened the door and had the driver who was having trouble maintaining his balance get out of the vehicle. Ptl. Sinnott assisted him with sitting down on the side of the road. The Island Heights Fire Chief arrived along with Toms River CSO MED unit, MONOC paramedics and Toms River Police Department. It was at this time, that the driver was identified as Jeremy Grunin, 42 years old of Toms River. Mr. Grunin refused medical attention several times but in the end did end up being transported to Community Medical Center for a head laceration. Due to his medical condition, Ptl. Sinnott was unable to conduct a field sobriety test. Mr. Grunin was charged with eluding police, failure to wear seatbelt, careless driving(2), leaving the scene of an accident(2), failure to report an accident(2), failure to maintain lane(2) and failure to observe police officers orders. A court date is pending. Lt. Kevin Arnold, Ptl. Paul Rutledge & Ptl. Michael Conrad assisted.
Yours faithfully,
Phil Stilton

Chandelier dresses aside Snoopy And Charlie Brown Peace Love Autism shirt. Katy Perry's night at the Met Gala. wouldn't have been complete without an epic after-party look. After a five-star dinner and fancy dress ball, Perry and Moschino designer, Jeremy Scott were ready to indulge in a little fast food via a hamburger dress worthy of a McDonald's commercial. For Perry, the foray into treats felt natural—after all, she has dressed up as a giant Cheeto for Halloween and famously worn cupcake bras—though Scott took things one step further for Gala night with two jaw-dropping outfits. "I was thinking about how at the end of the ball everyone is ready to kick off their heels
Toss off their corsets and eat some junk food," he says Snoopy And Charlie Brown Peace Love Autism shirt. "I thought what could be cuter than Katy wearing a sequined burger cape with a tiny little ruched lettuce dress underneath!" The result: outlandish campy moments that looked good enough to eat. As the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton's style is constantly evolving; these days, the royal mostly veers toward classic pieces with a British sensibility. (Think lots of great outerwear and clean, tailored silhouettes.) But today, she switched things up and strayed from her usual fashion aesthetic. On hand to launch the King's Cup Regatta at the Cutty Sark ship in Greenwich, London, Middleton put down her trusty coat-dresses and, instead, embraced the art of understated French girl style.Opting for a slight nautical vibe—which was appropriate given the setting—the Duchess wore a black and white striped sweater (very Breton-like) with high-waisted trousers by one of her most-worn labels, L.K. Bennett. She styled the neutral look with a pop of red via her clutch—that black, white, and red color combo recalling the many effortless looks seen on the streets of Paris. Meanwhile, a pair of block heeled pumps gave the whole ensemble a more modern touch. With many global tours under Middleton's belt, perhaps the many cities she's visited in the past are starting to subtly influence her style. But, as always, that signature polish is still ever present.

Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza thinks that, not holding up 'nerve' at crucial moments has been a real problem for Tigers which has damaged Bangladesh's prospects and reflected on their fielding performance.
"Injury is the main reason but I think players can't hold up their nerve and get nervous," Mashrafe told reporters a day after the match against Australia when asked about the main reason behind their fielding misery,'' Mashrafe was quoted in leading Bengali website."Our players can't take decisions quickly about the right side of the pitch where they need to throw the ball or while picking up the ball from ground. I think this is more of a nerve issue," added Mashrafe.
During their match against Australia, a bit of more athleticism from Bangladeshi fielders in the ground could have saved around 20-30 runs that would be well enough to change the momentum for Bangladeshi batsmen, especially considering the way Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad had built up their partnership in the middle.
It was probably the most entertaining run-fest in the ongoing World Cup so far. If the Tigers did not make some small mistakes throughout the game, it could have been a closer one. It also was a lesson for Tigers that against top teams like Australia, you cannot afford those slips.
Like Sabbir Rahman, who was brought into the squad for being the best fielder available because Tiger's needed to put some extra focus on fielding department in such a big match. But with one catch drop and one run out chance miss of David Warner who later left the crease with 166 runs, proved how worthless selector's decision of including him in the playing side was as he also went out for a duck while batting.
Though Mashrafe blamed both his bowling and fielding department as he said Warner and Usman Khawaja's partnership had built the pressure on the fielders so that they were not as electrifying as they were supposed to be which had also effected the bowlers mindset. It was the same scenario against England.
"In many cases, when our bowlers face difficulty to break a partnership, their body language falls at that time. When Khawaja arrived in the crease, our players were brilliant in field in the first 7-8 overs during his partnership with Warner. But when the both batsmen got set, their mindset was not best," told Mashrafe."In such matches, fielders have to keep the opponent under pressure by producing their best fielding. Fielders needed to save some boundaries and singles to keep the bowler inspired. Both in these two matches (Australia and England), we gave away some extra runs and boundaries that had effected bowler's mind set," told Mashrafe.
In Cardiff against England, players failed to attack the oncoming balls, allowed easy twos and threes- apart from their regular fumbles.
Though Bangladesh fielding was much better against New Zealand but they still made some silly mistakes did not let Bangladesh bring the match home. For example when wicket-keeper Mushfiqur Rahim dislodged the bail with his elbow before the ball was in his hand while there was a clear chance of run out that could force Kane Williamson from the crease.
Again against the South Africa, team's senior member Mahmudullah Riyad misjudged and picked up the ball quite late while there was a chance of run out at 33rd over. And during 35th over, Dussen tried to tap one straight to cover-point and looked to took off, but the fielder - who's right there for Bangladesh, just couldn't balance himself and Dussen got a life there in the crease.
Despite the fact that, there had been some lack of fielding perfection from the senior members of Tigers which were clearly visible, Bangladesh fielding coach Ryal Lyall Cook said senior members who are playing for Bangladesh for a long period of time, give their effort more in batting and bowling. Though he will never question anyone's work ethics as he said players need to work on that zone where they need to improve.
"We have a set of players who have been playing cricket for past 15-16 years. They know everything they should do in the field. But fielding does not get as much as priority like batting or bowling does. I won't question their work ethics. Everyone has their strong and weak point. So someone has to improve their ability of taking a catch while some other has to improve in ground fielding or throwing. They have to keep that mind set of improving where they are lacking," said Ryall.
Cook sees physical structure as a main reason behind the lack of consistency in Bangladesh's fielding as he said that players need to shine in those areas where physical structure plays a less important role.
"Physical ability is a big factor here. I have worked in Big Bash; their players throw balls from boundary line like a bullet. They are natural athletes. It's tough to keep up the same strength level like them," felt Cook.
"Our players can improve in throwing balls. Like Rubel did (Maxwell's run out). Physical structure matters a lot in throwing balls or running faster. But we can improve ourselves in throwing accuracy or taking catches," concluded Cook.

Accuracy of whole-body low-dose multidetector CT (WBLDCT) versus skeletal survey in the detection of myelomatous lesions, and correlation of disease distribution with whole-body MRI (WBMRI).The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility of whole-body low-dose computed tomography (WBLDCT) in the diagnosis and staging of multiple myeloma and compare to skeletal survey (SS), using bone marrow biopsy and whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WBMRI; where available) as gold standard.
Accurate intra-articular knee joint injection in the obese? 'Fat Chance!'-A clinical lesson and recommendations for secondary referral.Abstract Corticosteroid joint injections are perceived as being an effective treatment for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis, with a very low risk of complications. While the procedure is often performed in secondary care by orthopaedic surgeons and rheumatologists (and trainees in either specialty), the role of general practitioners (GPs) in chronic disease management has long existed with joint injections also frequently performed in primary care. The perception that serious complications from corticosteroid knee joint injections are rare and that their benefits in treating symptomatic knee osteoarthritis significantly outweigh the risks has not been well addressed. We present a case of a 71-year-old obese female who presented to her general practitioner (GP) with worsening left knee pain and radiographic changes consistent with osteoarthritis. She was administered a corticosteroid joint injection, which gave minimal relief, and over the next few days resulted in worsening severe pain, erythema and swelling. She returned to the GP who commenced oral antibiotics and referred her to casualty. A large knee abscess was diagnosed and intravenous antibiotics were commenced. The patient was admitted under the orthopaedic surgeons with her treatment consisting of multiple surgical procedures over a prolonged duration. Although lengthy, her postoperative recovery was unremarkable. Based on this case report and our review of the literature, we highlight the potential complications associated with corticosteroid knee joint injections and suggest certain patients for whom we would recommend secondary referral before any intervention in primary care.
Acetabular fractures following rugby tackles: a case series.Rugby is the third most popular team contact sport in the world and is increasing in popularity. In 1995, rugby in Europe turned professional, and with this has come an increased rate of injury.
Achieving diagnosis by consensusThis paper provides an analysis of the collaborative work conducted at a multidisciplinary medical team meeting, where a patient's definitive diagnosis is agreed, by consensus. The features that distinguish this process of diagnostic work by consensus are examined in depth. The current use of technology to support this collaborative activity is described, and experienced deficiencies are identified. Emphasis is placed on the visual and perceptual difficulty for individual specialities in making interpretations, and on how, through collaboration in discussion, definitive diagnosis is actually achieved. The challenge for providing adequate support for the multidisciplinary team at their meeting is outlined, given the multifaceted nature of the setting, i.e. patient management, educational, organizational and social functions, that need to be satisfied.
Acid suppression increases rates of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal injury in the presence of duodenal reflux.BACKGROUND: The contribution of gastric acid to the toxicity of alkaline duodenal refluxate on the esophageal mucosa is unclear. This study compared the effect of duodenal refluxate when acid was present, decreased by proton pump inhibitors (PPI), or absent. METHODS: We randomized 136 Sprague-Dawley rats into 4 groups: group 1 (n = 33) were controls; group 2 (n = 34) underwent esophagoduodenostomy promoting "combined reflux"; group 3 (n = 34) underwent esophagoduodenostomy and PPI treatment to decrease acid reflux; and group 4, the 'gastrectomy' group (n = 35) underwent esophagoduodenostomy and total gastrectomy to eliminate acid in the refluxate. Esophaguses were examined for inflammatory, Barrett's, and other histologic changes, and expression of proliferative markers Ki-67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). RESULTS: In all reflux groups, the incidence of Barrett's mucosa was greater when acid was suppressed (group C, 62%; group D, 71%) than when not suppressed (group B, 27%; P = 0.004 and P < .001). Erosions were more frequent in the PPI and gastrectomy groups than in the combined reflux group. Edema (wet weight) and ulceration was more frequent in the gastrectomy than in the combined reflux group. Acute inflammatory changes were infrequent in the PPI group (8%) compared with the combined reflux (94%) or gastrectomy (100%) groups, but chronic inflammation persisted in 100% of the PPI group. EGFR levels were greater in the PPI compared with the combined reflux group (P = .04). Ki-67, PCNA, and combined marker scores were greater in the gastrectomy compared with the combined reflux group (P = .006, P = .14, and P < .001). CONCLUSION: Gastric acid suppression in the presence of duodenal refluxate caused increased rates of inflammatory changes, intestinal metaplasia, and molecular proliferative activity. PPIs suppressed acute inflammatory changes only, whereas chronic inflammatory changes persisted.
Acoustic and temporal analysis of speech: A potential biomarker for schizophrenia.Currently, there are no established objective biomarkers for the diagnosis or monitoring of schizophrenia. It has been previously reported that there are notable qualitative differences in the speech of schizophrenics. The objective of this study was to determine whether a quantitative acoustic and temporal analysis of speech may be a potential biomarker for schizophrenia. In this study, 39 schizophrenic patients and 18 controls were digitally recorded reading aloud an emotionally neutral text passage from a children's story. Temporal, energy and vocal pitch features were automatically extracted from the recordings. A classifier based on linear discriminant analysis was employed to differentiate between controls and schizophrenic subjects. Processing the recordings with the algorithm developed demonstrated that it is possible to differentiate schizophrenic patients and controls with a classification accuracy of 79.4% (specificity=83.6%, sensitivity=75.2%) based on speech pause related parameters extracted from recordings carried out in standard office (non-studio) environments. Acoustic and temporal analysis of speech may represent a potential tool for the objective analysis in schizophrenia.
Acquired Anterior Laryngeal Web in a Shotgun InjuryWe report the first case of an anterior laryngeal web post gunshot wound in the modern literature. A 27 year-old man suffered a close range shotgun injury to his neck. He presented with stridor and a large open neck wound. Emergency tracheostomy was required. A postoperative fibreoptic laryngoscopy revealed anterior glottic web formation. This case report highlights the difficulties in managing acquired anterior laryngeal webs and reviews the only other case in the in the literature from 1915.
Acquired Factor Xiii Deficiency: An Uncommon But Easily Missed Cause Of Severe BleedingFactor XIII (FXIII) is a plasma clotting protein involved in clot stabilization. Severe FXIII deficiency may present with severe, even fatal bleeding. Critically however, routine coagulation assays may be normal and only specific FXIII assays will detect the abnormality. Herein we discuss a case report of a patient with acquired FXIII deficiency in order to highlight the clinical challenges associated with establishing the diagnosis and discuss the treatment approach. A 70-year-old man presented with a gluteal haematoma despite no preceding personal history of bleeding. Extensive initial haemostatic investigations were normal until a specific FXIII assay showed a marked reduction in FXIII levels. With directed treatment, bleeding episodes ceased and remission was achieved. Clinical awareness of FXIII deficiency is important, so appropriate testing can be implemented in patients with unexplained bleeding diatheses, particularly those in whom bleeding responds poorly to standard replacement therapy.
Acromegaly associated with gangliocytoma.BACKGROUND: Acromegaly secondary to growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) excess is rare. AIMS/CASE DESCRIPTION: We report two patients with acromegaly who were diagnosed with sellar gangliocytomas that were immunopositive for GHRH. Tumour tissue persisted after debulking surgery and in the second case this was associated with persistent growth hormone hypersecretion, successfully suppressed by a somatostatin analogue. CONCLUSIONS: The development of functional pituitary adenomas in association with sellar gangliocytomas is poorly understood. We present a brief discussion of the possible aetiology of these unusual pituitary tumours.
ACTH deficiency, higher doses of hydrocortisone replacement, and radiotherapy are independent predictors of mortality in patients with acromegaly.A number of retrospective studies report that patients with acromegaly have increased morbidity and premature mortality, with standardized mortality ratios (SMR) of 1.3-3. Many patients with acromegaly develop hypopituitarism as a result of the pituitary adenoma itself or therapies such as surgery and radiotherapy. Pituitary radiotherapy and hypopituitarism have also been associated with an increased SMR.
ACTH-secreting bronchial carcinoid: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.We describe a case of Cushing's syndrome due to ectopic ACTH secretion, where the only potential source on conventional imaging was a tiny benign-appearing lung nodule, which failed to take up radiolabelled octreotide.
Activated factor X signaling via protease-activated receptor 2 suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine production from LPS-stimulated myeloid cells.Vitamin K-dependent proteases generated in response to vascular injury and infection enable fibrin clot formation, but also trigger distinct immuno-regulatory signaling pathways on myeloid cells. Factor Xa, a protease crucial for blood coagulation, also induces protease-activated receptor-dependent cell signaling. Factor Xa can bind both monocytes and macrophages, but whether factor Xa-dependent signaling stimulates or suppresses myeloid cell cytokine production in response to Toll-like receptor activation is not known. In this study, exposure to factor Xa significantly impaired pro-inflammatory cytokine production from lipopolysaccharide-treated peripheral blood mononuclear cells, THP-1 monocytic cells and murine macrophages. Furthermore, factor Xa inhibited nuclear factor-kappa B activation in THP-1 reporter cells, requiring phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase activity for its anti-inflammatory effect. Active-site blockade, γ-carboxyglutamic acid domain truncation and a peptide mimic of the factor Xa inter-epidermal growth factor-like region prevented factor Xa inhibition of lipopolysaccharide-induced tumour necrosis factor-α release. In addition, factor Xa anti-inflammatory activity was markedly attenuated by the presence of an antagonist of protease-activated receptor 2, but not protease-activated receptor 1. The key role of protease-activated receptor 2 in eliciting factor Xa-dependent anti-inflammatory signaling on macrophages was further underscored by the inability of factor Xa to mediate inhibition of tumour necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 release from murine bone marrow-derived protease-activated receptor 2-deficient macrophages. We also show for the first time that, in addition to protease-activated receptor 2, factor Xa requires a receptor-associated protein-sensitive low-density lipoprotein receptor to inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokine production. Collectively, this study supports a novel function for factor Xa as an endogenous, receptor-associated protein-sensitive, protease-activated receptor 2-dependent regulator of myeloid cell pro-inflammatory cytokine production.
Activated human neonatal CD8+ T cells are subject to immunomodulation by direct TLR2 or TLR5 stimulation.In conditions of optimal priming, the neonate possesses competency to mount quantitatively adult-like responses. Vaccine formulations containing sufficiently potent adjuvants may overcome the neonate's natural tendency for immunosuppression and provoke a similarly robust immune response. TLR expression on T cells represents the possibility of directly enhancing T cell immunity. We examined the ex vivo responsiveness of highly purified human cord blood-derived CD8(+) T cells to direct TLR ligation by a repertoire of TLR agonists. In concert with TCR stimulation, only Pam(3)Cys (palmitoyl-3-Cys-Ser-(Lys)(4)) and flagellin monomers significantly enhanced proliferation, CD25(+) expression, IL-2, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and intracellular granzyme B expression. TLR2 and TLR5 mRNA was detected in the CD8(+) T cells. Blocking studies confirmed that the increase in IFN-gamma production was by the direct triggering of surface TLR2 or TLR5. The simultaneous exposure of CD8(+) T cells to both TLR agonists had an additive effect on IFN-gamma production. These data suggest that a combination of the two TLR ligands would be a potent T cell adjuvant. This may represent a new approach to TLR agonist-based adjuvant design for future human neonatal vaccination strategies requiring a CD8(+) component.
Activation of stretch-activated channels and maxi-K+ channels by membrane stress of human lamina cribrosa cells.The lamina cribrosa (LC) region of the optic nerve head is considered the primary site of damage in glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Resident LC cells have a profibrotic potential when exposed to cyclical stretch. However, the mechanosensitive mechanisms of these cells remain unknown. Here the authors investigated the effects of membrane stretch on cell volume change and ion channel activity and examined the associated changes in intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)).
Activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) by a novel metalloprotease pathway.Neutrophil Elastase (NE) is a pro-inflammatory protease present at higher than normal levels in the lung during inflammatory disease. NE regulates IL-8 production from airway epithelial cells and can activate both EGFR and TLR4. TACE/ADAM17 has been reported to trans-activate EGFR in response to NE. Here, using 16HBE14o-human bronchial epithelial cells we demonstrate a new mechanism by which NE regulates both of these events. A high molecular weight soluble metalloprotease activity detectable only in supernatants from NE-treated cells by gelatin and casein zymography was confirmed to be meprin alpha by Western immunoblotting. In vitro studies demonstrated the ability of NE to activate meprin alpha, which in turn could release soluble TGFalpha and induce IL-8 production from 16HBE14o- cells. These effects were abrogated by actinonin, a specific meprin inhibitor. NE-induced IL-8 expression was also inhibited by meprin alpha siRNA. Immunoprecipitation studies detected EGFR/TLR4 complexes in NE-stimulated cells overexpressing these receptors. Confocal studies confirmed colocalization of EGFR and TLR4 in 16HBE14o- cells stimulated with meprin alpha. NFkappaB was also activated via MyD88 in these cells by meprin alpha. In bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from NE knock-out mice infected intra-tracheally with Pseudomonas aeruginosa meprin alpha was significantly decreased compared with control mice, and was significantly increased and correlated with NE activity, in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from individuals with cystic fibrosis but not healthy controls. The data describe a previously unidentified lung metalloprotease meprin alpha, and its role in NE-induced EGFR and TLR4 activation and IL-8 production.

Ask nearly anyone, and they'll tell you they wish they had an extra hour in every day.
Ask a startup entrepreneur, and they might tell you they wish they had an extra five hours in their day. So, while we might all wish for it, we aren't magical, and we'll have to do with the time we're given.
The best answer to gaining time is to get more productive with your day. In this article, we look at five ways for startups to increase productivity. Do this, and you just might find that elusive extra hour, or two.
#1: Write everything down
Not sure where your time goes? Write it down. Spend a week keeping track of your time down to the minute so you can see where it goes.
Then, you can evaluate where you can maximize your team and even delegate or outsource tasks.
In addition, keep to-do lists on hand. Create them and refer back to them each day, crossing off what you've done. You can either keep track on paper or use a handy app to keep track of your to-dos.
#2: Turn off all notifications
Whether it's a text notification or an email notification, there is nothing more distracting. Even worse is when you leave what you're doing to see what the notification is all about.
You also want to turn off all social media notifications as social media is perhaps the biggest time-waster of all. Ask someone how long they were surfing Facebook, and they might tell you 10 minutes. Turn a timer on, and you might find it was really more like an hour.
If you are feeling really adventurous, you can put your phone in Airplane mode or a Do Not Disturb mode. Do this several times a week and see how much more you get done.
#3: Outsource activities
Many startup owners struggle with needing to "do it all."
One way to conquer this dilemma and increase productivity is to outsource activities that you don't really need to do.
Consider some of your day-to-day activities. You can outsource many of these. They don't have to be all your activities either. Perhaps members of your team are overloaded, and you can outsource some of their tasks.
Bringing in an outsourcing expert is a good idea and frees up valuable time so that you can focus on the tasks you're best at.
#4: Reduce or eliminate meetings
Businesses waste $37 billion on ineffective meetings every year. Don't let your startup fall victim to this waste of money and time.
As a new company, you're watching every penny, and spending extra money on useless meetings doesn't make good business sense.
Meetings waste a lot of time, and you can bet that at least half the time, your staff has zoned out.
If you must have meetings, schedule a start and an end time, and create a very tight agenda. Otherwise, communicate through email.
Some businesses like to use meetings as a way to build team spirit. This is another waste of time. Do something fun with your team or get together for a volunteer project. This is a much better use of everyone's time.
#5: Let your team work remotely
A recent Stanford study shows employees are more productive when they work from home.
The study involved 500 employees. In the end it showed productivity was boosted in the work-at-homers that was equivalent to a full day's work. In addition, attrition decreased 50%, staff had fewer sick days, took less time off work, and worked harder.
Since your team can be more productive at home, consider offering this option a few days a week or more to see if that boosts their productivity.
This may also help you save money on office space and furniture.
Final thoughts
Startups can increase productivity, but it takes some research and some planning into where the time goes.
Bottom line – find ways that work for you and your team to be productive. Insist that everyone takes time off. Provide amply time for your staff to balance their work and home lives.
It may take time and effort to make the changes necessary for increased productivity, but it is well worth it.

New Scale Robotics has released a new metrology solution including a precision gripper, metrology fingertips kit, tech note and software examples that allow users to automate small part measurement and sorting using collaborative robots (cobots) from Universal Robots.
"Measurement inspection and sorting of small parts are tedious tasks, traditionally performed by human operators," said David Henderson, CEO of New Scale Robotics. "Our precision gripper and metrology fingertips are the first tools that enable users to automate those repetitive tasks using cobots. This is a remarkable new application for cobots, with potential to save time and money in a wide range of industrial, manufacturing and other settings."
New Scale Robotics' newest parallel gripper for Universal Robots has a 2.5 µm resolution internal position sensor for precision measurements. The new NSR-KIT-F1 metrology fingertips kit includes three pairs of fingertips that install on the gripper's factory fingers to enable precision measurement of a variety of part shapes.
The URCaps plug-in software included with the gripper enables fast set-up and simple programming of the gripper and robot. Measurement data from the gripper can be transferred to a PC for analysis using any statistical analysis software. The data is also displayed on the UR teach pendant, and is continuously available for use in decision-making automation scripts.
New Scale Robotics provides instructions and working examples of how to use the gripper and fingertips to measure parts and transfer the data to a server for analysis. The downloadable tech note and example code includes a URScript showing how to program the UR robot for metrology, and a server-side program example for Windows written in C#.
To watch instructional videos and download the tech note and example code visit www.newscalerobotics.com/applications/automated-metrology-with-cobots/
The NSR-KIT-F1 metrology fingertips kit and NSR-PG-10-20-UR precision parallel gripper with 10 µm measurement resolution are available through all Universal Robot sales offices and distributors. The NSR-PG-10-20-URe precision parallel gripper with 2.5 µm measurement resolution is available for pre-order from New Scale Robotics.

THERE aren't many musicians you can describe as 'out of this world' without it sounding like a bold claim. But for Cork singer songwriter Ger Wolfe, who performs in Crusheen this month, this description is literally true.His new single A Song from Earth, taken from his new album No Bird Sang was specially written as a birthday present for American astronaut Dan Tani last year, and the song was beamed on board the International Space Station. Dan had been stuck on board the station after technical problems grounded the space shuttle. The astronaut is married to Cork woman Jane Egan and in February last year, a special celebration was organised at Cork's Blackrock Castle Observatory for Dan's birthday so he could speak from space with his in-laws, local schoolchildren and others. As part of the celebrations, Ger was approached by the observatory to create a song to mark the occasion. "When I tell people at gigs my song was beamed …Read More »
