1. Founding story: Share a story about the "Aha!" moment that led the founder(s) to get started or the story of how you saw the potential for this to succeedThe magical moment occurred more than 32 years ago. When I remember that moment, that same emotion and magical force that I felt that night invades me. I feel summoned again, and I feel that Rodelillo again activates my social passion. What happened that night was that I realized that thousands of families who were living in extreme vulnerability had stopped dreaming and had never created a plan to move forward. This caused me great pain. I realized that in my own times of extreme family poverty we never lacked time to dream, to share our lives, and to create a plan. Having a family plan is absolutely essential. A plan embracing the dreams, collaboration and teamwork of each and every family member is vital.
2. The problem: What problem surrounding employability or financial capability are you helping to solve?We address financial health and income generation, and its impact on the possibility of building a family project for low-income families. We work with family dynamics of mutual support and distribution of roles for financial health and employability. The construction of a family dream is both the goal and the means to achieve change. This will allow families to advance from merely surviving to living a much fuller life.
3. Your Solution: How are you planning to solve this problem? Share your specific approach.We and self-defined families of very low incomes voluntarily undertake a one-year project by means of an integral, non-assistential approach. Families advance towards their dreams through the development of short- and medium-term goals and self-diagnostic abilities to address the issues associated with their economic and financial vulnerabilities. Specifically, we address the essential factors which allow them to identify and understand pertinent factors of unemployment, job loss, or family financial imbalance through a reflective process aimed at modifying behaviors and generating mutual commitments. This process is carried out through personalized family accompaniment and group socio-educational workshops. Families themselves become the protagonists of change, the changemakers: in their immediate environments, the extended family, community, neighborhood, etc., and in their quality of life. We work through four phases: a) family diagnosis (2 months); b) the development of family capital (2 months); c) the intervention process itself (6 months: family transformation in its key issues); and d) consolidation of changes (2 months: looking toward the future).
4. How are you innovating or using unique approaches to solving the problem?The innovation is recognizing the family, not Rodelillo, as the protagonist of change. We co-build with them a family project approach and vision, defining dreams, prioritizing goals, building budgets and assigning tasks and responsibilities within the family. Priscila y Jorge, padres de 3 hijos. Acudieron a Rodelillo por su alto nivel de deudas. Habían accedido a casa propia con deuda bancaria, pero estaba impaga. Una trabajadora social y un ingeniero comercial les ayudaron a definir sueños y prioridades. La familia decidió volver a empezar. Jorge se hizo conductor de Uber, y Priscila creó dos emprendimientos. Después de 10 meses de intervención, están pagando deudas, tienen plan de emprendimiento, y cuentan con un presupuesto familiar.
5. Employability: how is your organization or project teaching people to develop the skills that they need to survive in the future job market?In the program each family lives an integral process of formation, decoding of negative mandates and installation of new family knowledge. Challenges and needs are co-diagnosed in employability and finances, access to housing, health, education and family relationships, and tasks and responsibilities are defined under the eaves of a family project oriented towards transformation and a better quality of life. Through group workshops, the construction of support networks and knowledge sharing is promoted, which leads to empowerment and installs an alert attitude to access opportunities, from the use of the internet and job applications, to entering a position of work required. Some of the training topics are family and employment; first interview, CV preparation; what employers look for and what I offer; in what to train me; and values such as honesty and fulfillment of duty.
5a. Please describe which future-oriented skills your organization is focused on fostering and how you have measured / plan to measure progressIn the Rodelillo Model we work on: a constantly alert attitude towards new opportunities, capitalizing on integrating and participating in support networks, speedy responses, confirmation of availability, effective communication, a permanent positive, "yes" attitude, the readiness to take on challenges, and social urgency ethics. The process is measured qualitatively with each family together with the head social worker. In addition, families record self-assessments in the family book. At an aggregated level, progress in adults´employability is observed and measured through a panel survey.
6. Financial capability: how is your organization or project creating innovative solutions that arm people with ability to optimize their current and future financial healthWe progress from individual financial education to family financial education, promoting change within the family, strengthening its resources for healthy financial behavior, and motivating all its members towards the same goal and dreams. Families are empowered to have the necessary financial tools to optimize their economic situation and to order their financial behavior. We use special instruments in both group and family intervention: (a) Family Project Book (where family capital, family dreams and goals are developed and established); (b) Family Budget Booklet (where total monthly income of the family group and all monthly expenses, even the smallest ones, are registered); and (c) modules of group workshops oriented to financial education in the areas described in the following section.
6a. Please describe what aspect of financial capability your organization is focused on fostering and how you have measured / plan to measure progress.Financial capabilities involve various considerations. We work on family capital formation, self-diagnosis, prioritization of economic needs, and evaluation of goals in both increasing income and the family´s overall financial health. Achieving these goals depends on living within the family budget, managing debt reduction and credit ratings, capacity for saving, clarity concerning both income and expenses, and a growing knowledge of the banking system. We also apply a panel survey with somewhat different indicators of families´ financial condition.
7. Marketplace: Who else is addressing the same problem? How does the proposed project differ from these approaches?A review of other network.changemakers.com approaches are focused on employability, financial health, and reducing indebtedness. Rodelillo´s approach is more wholistic and integral, concerned also with families´: Life Projects, Family Relationships and Dynamics, Housing and Habitability, Educative Processes, and Preventive Health and Home Security---all these in addition to Employability and Financial Health. We regard Employability and Financial Capacity as basic concomitants to a family´s integrity as the principal economic unit in society.
8. Impact: How has your project made a difference so far?Osvaldo, construction worker and Sonia, housekeeper, married with three children, joined Rodelillo with needs, desire and dreams. Their family capital is love. In 1992, Osvaldo had an accident and remained with signatures in Tribunal. Through tenacity, they took care of their jobs, organized their finances, and bought a home. They created a plan to educate their kids. Osvaldito is a Mining Engineer; Pablo, Computer Engineer; and Leonardo, Construction Engineer. Osvaldo and Sonia are exemplars of family entrepreneurship. Numerical impacts can be gauged by a project with 80 families in Coquimbo, Chile, in 2018-2019. On average, they increased their income from US$600 to US$670, with 58% of families increasing their score on the administration scale of family budget. With this, the percent of families which managed to cover their expenses at the end of the month increased from 51 to 79%.
9. Financial Sustainability Plan. Can you tell us about you plan to fund your project and how that plan will be sustainable in the short, medium, and long term?The funding strategy depends on different sources: a) in vulnerable schools we work with economic sponsorship by another school or parish through resources that finance all or part of the project, and if necessary, we apply to state or private funding sources; b) in companies the project is financed in its entirety by the company, benefited with a 10% surcharge aimed at financing other social projects and the sustainability of Rodelillo; c) in territories, we rely on state or private funding sources. In recent times, we have managed to focus on the most essential areas, reduced program costs, and/or incorporated volunteer professionals, without affecting the quality of the intervention, thus giving sustainability to the interventions.
10. TeamWe are composed of the Executive Dir, a Board of Directors, an administ leader, and a project evaluation manager. For each project there is a part-time leader, a full-time social worker, a part-time psychologist and a part time financial counselor for the families. Additionally, each project is guided by a social commission ad honorem, composed of representatives of Rodelillo, the institution(s) financing the Project, and the organization or people benefited. This is a easily scalable strustruct

While a lot of us are certain we prefer to have sexual intercourse, the majority of us likewise haven't invested enough time thinking by what occurs physiologically although we are involved with the work. Masters and Johnson (two groundbreaking sex practitioners) coined the word « sexual-response cycle » to suggest the series of occasions that takes place into the human anatomy whenever an individual becomes intimately stimulated and participates in intimately stimulating tasks (sexual intercourse, masturbation, foreplay, etc.).
The sexual-response cycle is split into four stages: excitement, plateau, orgasm and quality. There's absolutely no beginning that is distinct end to every period — they truly are really all section of a continuing means of intimate reaction.
Remember that this might be a rather outline that is general of takes place to each of us once we become intimately aroused. There was much variation among people, along with between various intimate activities.
Simultaneous Sexual Climaxes
Both men and women proceed through all four stages, except the timing differs from the others. Guys typically reach orgasm first during sex, while females might take around fifteen minutes to make it to the exact same destination. This is why the chances of simultaneous orgasm during sex a unusual occasion.
Stage One: Excitement
This period frequently starts within 10 to 30 moments after erotic stimulation, and may endure anywhere from a couple of minutes to much time.
Men: your penis becomes slightly erect. A person's nipples may additionally become erect.
Ladies: Vaginal lubrication starts. The vagina expands and lengthens. The lips that are outer internal lips, clitoris and quite often breasts start to swell.
Both: heartrate, bloodstream force and respiration are typical accelerated.
Period Two: Plateau
The modifications that were only available in the excitement period continue to advance.
Guys: The testes are used to the scrotum. The penis becomes completely erect.
Ladies: The lips that are vaginal puffier. The cells associated with walls associated with the outer 3rd regarding the vagina swell with bloodstream, plus the opening into the vagina narrows. The clitoris vanishes into its bonnet. The labia that is innerlips) modification color (though it's a little difficult to notice). The primabrides.com/mexican-brides lips turn from pink to bright red for women who've never had children. In females who have had kiddies, the colour turns from vivid red to deep purple.
Both: respiration and pulse prices quicken. A « sex flush » can take place regarding the belly, upper body, arms, face or neck. Muscle tissue tense in the legs, sides, fingers and buttocks, and spasms can start.
Phase Three: Orgasm
This is actually the orgasm for the period. Additionally it is the shortest for the four stages, often just enduring a seconds that are few.
Guys: First, seminal fluid collects in the urethral light bulb. This is how a person could have the feeling that orgasm is for certain, or « ejaculatory inevitability. » Next, semen is ejaculated through the penis. Contractions take place in your penis through the phase that is orgasmic.
Females: the initial 3rd associated with the vaginal walls contract rhythmically every eight-tenths of an additional. (the quantity and strength of this contractions differ with respect to the specific orgasm.) The muscle tissue for the womb also contract scarcely significantly.
Both: respiration, pulse blood and rate force continue steadily to increase. Strength blood-vessel and tension engorgement reach a top. Often orgasm is sold with a grasping-type reflex that is muscular of arms and foot.
Period Four: Resolution
This stage is a come back to the standard resting state. It may last from a couple of minutes to a half-hour or much much longer. This phase is usually longer for women than males.
Guys: The penis comes back to its normal state that is flaccid. There is often a refractory duration, where you can't really orgasm once again until a lot of time has passed away. The quantity of time differs among males by age, conditioning as well as other facets.
Ladies: The womb and clitoris go back to their normal jobs. Some ladies could possibly react to stimulation that is extra additional sexual climaxes.
Both: inflammation recedes, any intercourse flush vanishes, and there's a basic relaxation of muscle mass stress.
Understanding what exactly is taking place for you along with your partner's systems while having sex can simply help with the complete satisfaction associated with experience. Combine this with a few communication that is good, and also you've discovered the answer to unlock sexual satisfaction as well as your heart's desires.

Pro-Life Speaker Visits Senior Theology Classes and "Students for Life Group" Begins
December 5, 2019
In Mrs. Dutra's theology classes, a pro-life speaker, Liana Hollendonner talked to the seniors about a new program they are starting at this school. She spoke on this program, and, also on pro-life as a whole, hoping to educate students on the importance of preventing abortions and limiting the power that clinics like Planned Parenthood have on society.
This event was the beginning of the forming of a group in the high school known as "Students for Life". The first activity of this club will be the March for Life in Washington, DC, but this event is for all students, rather than for exclusively the ones that are involved in the pro-life club.

Prime Numbers
Homepage › Forums › Small Talk › Prime Numbers
This topic contains 6 replies, has 5 voices, and was last updated by Unseen 1 year, 3 months ago.
April 24, 2019 at 9:37 pm #26057
This is purely a geeky post, with no relevance to atheism. Except at the very bottom of this post, which I'm giving y'all permission to skip down to.
I'm neither a mathematician nor a reader of mathematical theory, but I like thinking about prime numbers. Geek readers can just skim through most of this top of this post. (In my case, this is more an exercise of learning how to explain a concept that, although will go over some people's heads or bore most people, is a way for me to explain fact, aided by some scientific method. I.e. for me, this is and exercise on how to write real news vs fake news.)
Calculating and printing out a long list of primes is often the first program I write when learning or playing with a new programming language. All that's required is 1) An empty table or list to be filled with known prime numbers; 2) Given a potentially infinitely long list of numbers to test, a way to determine which of them are prime; 3) A way to add each newly discovered prime number to the growing list of primes.
Math purists might say I'm cheating by not starting my calculations by first testing the number two, or three, but for programming ease, I first load the table with two prime numbers, three, and five. Then I start testing odd numbers, because obviously, even numbers are divisible by two and so can never be prime.
So the first numbers to test are seven, nine, eleven, thirteen, fifteen, and so on up to as high as speed and memory allow, or until someone gets tired of watching the screen fill and scroll with increasingly large prime numbers… starting of course with the number seven.
Producing the source of test numbers Just as every second number (two, four, six…) don't need to be tested, so also every third, fourth, or fifth number can be eliminated as a candidate, but this method is not feasible. It's most practical, programmatically to test every odd number for primeness. We can test the number seven by dividing it by the first prime in the list three, and since there is a remainder, we continue by testing again by dividing seven by five, the second prime in the list. Since we've tested seven by dividing it by every prime in the list (three and five), we can now say that seven is prime, and add it to the list of known primes (three and five).
The next number to test is nine. Starting the test loop over, we start by dividing nine by three and learn that there is NO remainder. Therefor, nine is NOT prime. Yeah, the first non-prime! We can discard it and go on to test eleven.
Notice the pattern of three odd numbers in a row that are prime: three, five, and seven. From now on, since every third odd number is divisible by three, we know that, by definition, the numbers nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen and so on up the infinite list of odd numbers by three can never be found to be prime. And yet, for the sake of necessary simplicity in programming algorithms, we can't afford to program a way to ignore every third odd number, nor every fifth number, or seventh number, and so on, so we must settle on just testing every odd number, forever.
Increasing test efficiency On a computer, the unnecessary (third, fifth, and so on) calculations don't cost us much (compared to the cost of programming how to ignore them), so we let it be. However, there is another easy way to reduce the necessary number of calculations, e.g. by not test dividing every odd number by every known prime in the list. E.g when testing the number eleven, we can stop testing at eleven divided by three, because we know that eleven divided by five is unnecessary. We know this because any number divisible by five must also be divisible by another prime number in the table, like three.
I.e., the next largest non-prime number has to be three times five, or fifteen. Since both eleven and thirteen are less than fifteen, we can say they are prime. This might be harder even for geeks to keep in mind, but suffice to say, there is an easy calculation that can be added to every test number that determines the highest test divisor we must try in our growing list of primes. The highest number we must try as a divisor for testing the number eleven, is the square root of eleven.
This square-root method of saving calculation efficiency is somewhat realizable at an intuitive level, especially when we're testing higher numbers. E.g. assume we've built our table of known primes to a dozen or so: 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41. It's pretty obvious we needn't test the number 41 for primeness by seeing how it divides by 37! It's less intuitively obvious, but true, that we needn't test 41 with any divisor larger than the square root of 41 (i.e. 6 and a fraction). Se we know trying to divide by 41 by 7 or larger is unnecessary. That's a significant savings in calculations required, because it saves us from test dividing by all the ten prime numbers larger than 5.
When we get into testing numbers way up into the dozens of digits, limiting test divisors to the square root of the test number saves calculation times on a logarithmic scale. I don't (yet) know of any other significant way to enhance the efficiency of our prime-seeking algorithm(s).
Now, onto "balphegor's prime"! Take note, the following, amazing, perhaps even evil prime number. It's extremely long, but easy to remember because of its thirteen zeros on either side of "666":
If nothing else after skimming or ignoring 99% of my post, I hope the Godless here can appreciate that number!April 25, 2019 at 10:37 pm #26067

In my case, this is more an exercise of learning how to explain a concept…..
Here is a fine technique to help. I use it while running on the dreadmill to see how much about a concept I know.

When it comes to infinity, there are just as many odd numbers as there are both even and odd numbers combined!!April 27, 2019 at 4:53 am #26073
Doh! I see typos, at least, and some missing clarity. I'll adjust the post after seeing the Feynman link.
@simonpaynton Sieve of Eratosthenes is what I was trying to explain that costs too much programming-wise and in the computer resources it requires. And the more efficient sieve algorithms mentioned in that same wikipedia article make my head hurt! The last one, Euler's Sieve looks most promising (for my head, anyway), and I might try that someday (thank you).
I've been interested in what this exercise would look like in hexadecimal math rather than decimal. I only just now wondered if using hexadecimal might be a much more computationally efficient way to calculate for primes. Decimal math exists only to impress animals with ten fingers!April 29, 2019 at 3:34 pm #26099
Now, onto "balphegor's prime"! Take note, the following, amazing, perhaps even evil prime number. It's extremely long, but easy to remember because of its thirteen zeros on either side of "666": 1000000000000066600000000000001
That number is only significant if you take Christianity seriously. Otherwise, it just looks cool.

Some 7,500 students of Islamia University of Bahawalpur would benefit from the Prime Minister's Fee Reimbursement Scheme launched for Less Developed Areas.
During a radio programme, Vice Chancellor Dr Muhammad Mukhtar said that the university had been listed among the South Punjab's institutions that would benefit from the scheme, being a Higher Education Commission-approved university. Rs140 million would be reimbursed to the deserving students, he added.
He said that the scheme was aimed to encourage talented students from less developed areas enrolled for masters, M Phil and PhD programmes. He further stated that the university's departments had sent the lists of the would-be scheme beneficiaries after finalising such students to the PM's office. The vice chancellor said that a ceremony will be held in the university next month in which Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was expected distribute the cheques to the qualifying students.

Word of the Day
Loquacious (adj., low-KWAY-shuss)
Loquacious means extremely talkative. It doesn't necessarily mean "using long sentences," but it doesn't really rule that out. It just means that you talk a lot. About things. Whatever comes to mind, really. It could be that you're not super-talkative but then when you start talking you continue until you have nothing more to say and a few plants have gone through an entire photosynthesis cycle—which is crazy. Anyway, yeah, it means talkative.

I had a bit of an issue with the official prompt so went my way instead.
Thanks to @zatnosk for the prompt and everyone else who suggested words. :)
oddly enough this one turned out much whimsical. (also very literal?)
I'll take a proper photograph of first 6 prompts later today with my camera now that there is sunlight and it is not 3am. :)

Arthur opened the long low window, and looked out upon the old blasted and blackened forest of chimneys, and the old red glare in the sky, which had seemed to him once upon a time but a nightly reflection of the fiery environment that was presented to his childish fancy in all directions, let it look where it would.
He drew in his head again, sat down at the bedside, and looked on at Affery Flintwinch making the bed.
'Affery, you were not married when I went away.'
She screwed her mouth into the form of saying 'No,' shook her head, and proceeded to get a pillow into its case.
'How did it happen?'
'Why, Jeremiah, o' course,' said Affery, with an end of the pillow- case between her teeth.
'Of course he proposed it, but how did it all come about? I should have thought that neither of you would have married; least of all should I have thought of your marrying each other.'
'No more should I,' said Mrs Flintwinch, tying the pillow tightly in its case.
'That's what I mean. When did you begin to think otherwise?'
'Never begun to think otherwise at all,' said Mrs Flintwinch.
Seeing, as she patted the pillow into its place on the bolster, that he was still looking at her as if waiting for the rest of her reply, she gave it a great poke in the middle, and asked, 'How could I help myself?'
'How could you help yourself from being married!'
'O' course,' said Mrs Flintwinch. 'It was no doing o' mine. I'D never thought of it. I'd got something to do, without thinking, indeed! She kept me to it (as well as he) when she could go about, and she could go about then.' 'Well?'
'Well?' echoed Mrs Flintwinch. 'That's what I said myself. Well! What's the use of considering? If them two clever ones have made up their minds to it, what's left for me to do? Nothing.'
'Was it my mother's project, then?'
'The Lord bless you, Arthur, and forgive me the wish!' cried Affery, speaking always in a low tone. 'If they hadn't been both of a mind in it, how could it ever have been? Jeremiah never courted me; t'ant likely that he would, after living in the house with me and ordering me about for as many years as he'd done. He said to me one day, he said, "Affery," he said, "now I am going to tell you something. What do you think of the name of Flintwinch?" "What do I think of it?" I says. "Yes," he said, "because you're going to take it," he said. "Take it?" I says. "Jere-MI-ah?" Oh! he's a clever one!'
Mrs Flintwinch went on to spread the upper sheet over the bed, and the blanket over that, and the counterpane over that, as if she had quite concluded her story. 'Well?' said Arthur again.
'Well?' echoed Mrs Flintwinch again. 'How could I help myself? He said to me, "Affery, you and me must be married, and I'll tell you why. She's failing in health, and she'll want pretty constant attendance up in her room, and we shall have to be much with her, and there'll be nobody about now but ourselves when we're away from her, and altogether it will be more convenient. She's of my opinion," he said, "so if you'll put your bonnet on next Monday morning at eight, we'll get it over."' Mrs Flintwinch tucked up the bed.
'Well?' repeated Mrs Flintwinch, 'I think so! I sits me down and says it. Well!--Jeremiah then says to me, "As to banns, next Sunday being the third time of asking (for I've put 'em up a fortnight), is my reason for naming Monday. She'll speak to you about it herself, and now she'll find you prepared, Affery." That same day she spoke to me, and she said, "So, Affery, I understand that you and Jeremiah are going to be married. I am glad of it, and so are you, with reason. It is a very good thing for you, and very welcome under the circumstances to me. He is a sensible man, and a trustworthy man, and a persevering man, and a pious man." What could I say when it had come to that? Why, if it had been--a smothering instead of a wedding,' Mrs Flintwinch cast about in her mind with great pains for this form of expression, 'I couldn't have said a word upon it, against them two clever ones.'
'In good faith, I believe so.' 'And so you may, Arthur.'
'Affery, what girl was that in my mother's room just now?'
'Girl?' said Mrs Flintwinch in a rather sharp key.

General Interests
I study complex dynamics of motor-related neural systems and its formal and conceptual assessment in terms of nonlinear dynamics and non-equilibrium statistics. Research activities cover spatio-temporal aspects of neural synchronization for information transfer during perceptual-motor tasks.
Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Sciences, Coordination Dynamics | IBBA, Research Institute MOVE
Over the years, I appropriated various methods for the analysis of multivariate signals for kinematic, electromyographic and encephalographic data. For example, I developed methods for the extraction of principal or independent components in the vicinity of qualitative changes in motor performance yielding a significant reduction of dimension and thus allowing for the analysis of motor (in-)stabilities, in general, and for classifying (switches between) gait patterns, in particular, including the patterns of accompanying cortical activity. Furthermore, I added to several research fields in theoretical physics, ranging from quantum information to diffusive systems and generalized thermostatistics.
Current Research
I am currently working on the link between sensorimotor performance and neural synchronization using neuro-physiologically motivated stochastic neural models, bifurcation theory, and graph theory. This includes several PhD and Research Master projects involving both experimental approaches and theoretical ideas, also to investigate the interplay of dynamical and stochastic aspects of complex neural networks.
I received my PhD at the Institute for Theoretical Physics and Synergetics, University Stuttgart, in 1996. My thesis supervisor was Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. H. Haken.
- Title: Nichtgleichgewichtsphasenübergänge in der menschlichen Motorik und Erweiterungen des synergetischen Computers.
- Topics: Non-equilibrium phase transitions in poly-rhythmic bimanual finger coordination, effects of random fluctuations, and competition dynamics of multiple order parameters (extensions of the synergetic computer).

4D-EEGAssessing Arm Function Recovery Post-Stroke. Goal of this EU-funded 4D-EEG project is to develop innovative methods for accurate localization of brain activity patterns and quantification of the interactions between multiple brain areas.
Age effects in bimanual coordinationWe study the relationship between altered inter- and intra-hemispheric structural and functional connectivities in the motor the network. Our focus is on the correlation between connectivies and declined motor performance in the elderly.
Bimanual CoordinationWe study how different control processes contribute to stabilizing the coordination between limbs, and how they change as a function of, e.g., movement frequency and amplitude, learning, development and pathology.
COSMOSComplex Oscillatory Systems: Modeling and Analysis. In this EU-funded Marie Skłodowska Curie ITN, 15 ESRs are being trained in nonlinear dynamics, numerical methods, statistical mechanics and, where needed, basics of neuroscience, physiology, and system biology.
Cueing in Parkinson's diseaseWe address effects of augmented visual feedback on postural control to investigate the direct effects of this feedback on postural control and its potential benefits for balance control in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Development, Aging & LearningWe develop a large arsenal of sophisticated motor behaviors from the moment we are born. In the elderly, however, motor skills are jeapordized, calling for an in-depth research for age-related changes in motor control.
FirSteps – The Emergence of Walking in ChildrenThe first independent step of a child may be small, but it represents a giant leap for its development. This project addresses the emergence of coordination patterns and motor primitives or muscle synergies in typically developing children and in children with cerebral palsy.
Learn2Walk – Brain meets spineWe analyze brain and muscular activity in typically developing children and in children with cerebral palsy. We seek to unravel the reorganization of cortical and cortico-muscular activity accompanying the development of walking with the ultimate aim to design novel rehabilitation techniques for cerebral palsy.
Mathematical ModelingWe relate the dynamical and stochastic properties of (networks of) neurons to understand the functional role of oscillatory activity in motor control. Focus is on the relation between frequency bands, be it switches between frequencies or interactions between coexisting oscillations.
Move-AgeUnderstanding Ageing and Mobility. Funded by the EU as part of the Erasmus Mundus program, this international training network involves 40-odd PhD students studying age-related changes in human movement.
Network-Network InteractionsWe analyze cross-frequency synchronizability of complex, functional networks accompanying different oscillatory regimes with focus on effects of mutual transfer of network structures, e.g., via the type of clustering or the correlations of random components.
Neural UnderpinningsStudying motor-related changes of synchronized neural activity and its network-like distribution elucidates how the brain can operate as functional unit despite numerous anatomical connections between simultaneously active neurons.
Relative Phase DynamicsThe stability of coordination can often be addressed via the relative phase between the individual limb movements. We are studying in detail the effect of different interactions between limbs, effects of noise and non-autonomous forcing.
StabilityFor rhythmic movements the corresponding state variables are modeled as self-sustaining oscillators. We particularly focus on the stability of coordination patterns, i.e. on the interactions between oscillators.

HOMEWOOD CAMPUS IMAGING, MICROSCOPY, and MICROANALYSIS
The 3D Bioprinting facility was established in October 2019. It is located in Room 103 Dunning Hall on the Johns Hopkins University's Homewood Campus; and houses a Cellink BioX6 3D Bioprinter, a LumenX bioprinter; and a Primo photopatterning system. The facility is overseen and managed by Yuan Cai; and is a core within the Hopkins' Integrated Imaging Center.
There is dedicated 200 square foot room for 3D bioprinting and the cell culture which includes one 6 ft laminar flow hoods, a sink, inverted microscope, centrifuge, and two incubators.
Biosafety: Our core is BL2 approved, but the printer itself, while not BL2 qualified, does not carry a BL2 risk, as it does not have aerosol or high splash potential that increases the risk of personnel exposure. The instrument incorporates automated motion controlled by computer in a clean, isolated bench.
Those who are interested in using any of our printers should contact Ms. Yuan Cai <firstname.lastname@example.com>; or Michael McCaffery <email@example.com>.

In October, RPC Grasys took part in the All-Russia Scientific Conference «Membranes» annually held by the Russian Academy of Science in conjunction with the Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis (RAS IPS) and the Russian (Mendeleev) Fund of Fundamental Research. The conference is the main forum where the «membrane» scientific community of Russia presents the results of its research and discusses the prospects of membrane technology development.
The company Technical Director E. G. Krasheninnikov who was among the contributors at the conference noted: «At the conference, Grasys was probably the only large commercial company combining the academic level of scientific developments of its R&D Department in the field of membrane technologies with their successful commercialization». In his report «Membrane technologies of RPC Grasys. Status and prospects», he highlights the results of the company scientific research focused on practical resolution of important issues faced by the Russian economy.
Among them is bringing Russia to leadership in the helium market. The innovative solutions proposed by the Grasys scientists are implemented by the company engineering center specialists within the framework of a pilot two-stage plant for helium recovery from natural gas of the Kovykta gas and condensate field. The plant successful trial at the Kovykta site paves the way for the scientific achievements of Grasys to Eastern Siberia fields.
In parallel, RPC Grasys is working on the project «Membrane removal of natural gas and associated petroleum gas components» for a large foreign company. The scientific elaboration of the project has significant international implications since membrane technology opens new gas conditioning prospects for fields with a complex flow composition.
Commenting on RPC Grasys participation in the scientific life of Russia, E. G. Krasheninnikov also states: «The scientists and engineers in Grasys pay thorough attention to training the staff in the field of membrane technologies. For the membrane technology department of Mendeleev Technological University (MUCTR), the company has developed a special industrial membrane plant for practical workshops and R&D activities».

Patient information articles published in both the Journal of North American Spine Society and the Journal of the American Medical Association found evidence that spinal manipulations were safe, effective, drugless forms of professional treatment for both acute (short-term or sudden) and chronic low back problems in adults. (2, 3) Egoscue, another type of postural therapy protocol that focuses on fixing musculoskeletal misalignments, may also be able to help reduce and prevent back pain.
Wasabi is another spicy food with natural painkilling properties. Scientists are studying the isothiocyanates in wasabi as potential pain relievers. Researcher from University of California San Francisco made a recent discovery suggesting that isothiocyanates could block an inflammation receptor, making it a potentially important natural painkiller. (2)
This US-made pain relieving gel comes in a 16-ounce jar, meaning it doesn't run out fast and is there when you need it. It provides an immediate cooling sensation as soon as it is applied, but it's what happens next that makes it stand out. The cooling relief intensifies over the next 10 minutes while the ingredients are working together, until it reaches the maximum level of ultra freeze pain relief. This sensation is maintained for the next 30 minutes or more.
For example, water therapy is gentle on your body because the water supports the weight of your body and provides gentle resistance. The exercise is done in warm water, which is also soothing. There are many land-based exercise programs that can provide a gentle, endorphin-producing form of exercise, such as tai chi, or yoga programs designed for people with chronic pain conditions.
You may already have tried exercise and over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers you take by mouth. These include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen. Another option is to try one of the many OTC topical creams that can help relieve arthritis pain. Here's the low-down on these products to help you decide which arthritis cream might be best for you.
MSM is a potent sulfur naturally found in plants, animals and humans that helps rebuild the connective tissue in your joints and is a powerful natural remedy for inflammation and pain. What's more, MSM has the unique ability to improve cell permeability. This allows harmful toxins to flow out, while allowing health boosting nutrients to flow in to feed your joints, cartilage and connective tissue. It is used for hundreds of symptoms related to a myriad of health diseases and conditions, and is especially effective as a natural remedy for relieving inflammation for improved joint function, and pain associated with joint inflammation, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and tendonitis. One study published in the Journal of AntiAging Medicine found that MSM provides an 80 percent greater reduction in pain compared to the placebo.
When sudden changes occur in the weather or we overexert ourselves during physical activity, those of us who experience, or who already had, muscle and/or joint pain treat ourselves with the traditional prescriptions of conventional anti-inflammatories. There is a general tendency for us to take anti-inflammatories every time something hurts, as if they were water. Nevertheless, the damage caused to our bodies (liver, stomach, etc.) by anti-inflammatories is highly significant if these are abused. Symptomatic use of analgesics, such as paracetamol, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is almost always the first treatment option, and ibuprofen is one of the most widely used anti-rheumatic drugs.
My personal preference is regenerative injection therapy (RIT). This is a non-operative, therapeutic approach to pain reduction that involves multiple small injections into a joint to encourage the body to initiate healing methods. Through the process of concentrating and injecting specific substances, such as prolo, PRP, or stem cells at the site of injury, the process of regeneration and remodeling is facilitated and a robust healing response is achieved.
It's the breakthrough technology used that makes this patch so ideal for pain management without traditional painkillers. Energy medicine technology, based off of quantum physics, harnesses the signatures of over 200 natural remedies known for their anti-inflammation properties, like turmeric, vitamin D, magnesium, and Omega-3. These remedies are transferred through a resonant carrier wave onto the patch. The electrons from all these energies are activated once the patch is applied to the skin. It then works with your body's natural healing process to bring you fast, fast pain relief.
Cool it off. To do a 10-minute ice massage, fill up small paper or foam cups about one third full and freeze them. When ready to use, peel away the top of the cup to expose the ice and gently slide over the painful area. Try to avoid the bony parts of the joint, such as the knee cap and elbow points. Cover the affected area with a plastic wrap before applying the ice to protect the skin, and place a towel underneath to pick up the moisture as the ice melts. You can also use ice cubes wrapped in plastic for smaller areas. Cold packs and wraps applied for 15 to 30 minutes may also relieve sore lower back or shoulders.

While leading the most vigorous life filled with project deadlines and domestic responsibilities and accomplishing success at all endeavors do you sometimes get compelled to lag behind other such active individuals given to the muscle pain agony? And does this dilemma affect you at a most recurring frequency at times when you are preparing for an office presentation or venturing out to complete household tasks? Be aware that in order to prevail as a most efficient professional and sincere family person putting forward causes of back pain or calf cramp or wrist soreness as reasons for not fulfilling your duties is the least enterprise that you can undertake.
Topical glucosamine cream and gel can significantly reduce the pain of knee osteoarthritis within 4 weeks. One study involving a glucosamine cream found that 100% of those with arthritis of the shoulder gained benefit. Of those with arthritis of the ankle, wrist or elbow, glucosamine cream reduced pain in 75% of people, and it worked in 58% of those with knee osteoarthritis.
Research shows that applying celadrin cetylated fatty acid cream with menthol to knees can reduce arthritis pain and improve the range of movement. Applying celadrin cream also makes it easier to climb up and down stairs. Celadrin cream cetylated fatty acids is also effective as a muscle pain relief cream to treat pain associated with trigger points in the neck.
"I'm really big on heat, since it draws blood to the spot that is heated. I am a huge fan of ThermaCare Heatwraps ($8; drugstore.com) since you can just wrap or tape them on and go about your life (I really like and recommend using one at night if you have a knot, or an especially tight spot)." —Heidi Kristoffer, creator of CrossFlowX (Got PMS cramps? Kristoffer shares the best yoga poses to ease aches and bloating.)
It's estimated that up to 80 percent of adults experience persistent symptoms of lower back pain at some point in their lives, and about 31 million Americans struggle with the condition at any given time. Given its extremely high prevalence rate — whether due to a weak psoas muscle, sciatic nerve pain or some other cause — it's not surprising that lower back pain is considered the single leading cause of disability worldwide according to the American Chiropractic Association, with half of all American workers reporting having occasional back troubles each year. (1) Naturally, this leads to millions searching for lower back pain relief.
Synovial fluid is a thick, slippery substance with a consistency similar to egg white. It acts like an oil and fills small cavities within the joint cartilage, providing oxygen and nutrients when the joint is resting. Synovial fluid also pushes the bones apart so they don't rub together to cause pain. Glucosamine also provides building blocks for making new cartilage, and repairing damaged areas. Glucosamine is also known to damp down inflammation and act as a biological signal to stimulate tissue repair.
Vitamins are essential to health. Every natural thing that you eat contains the vitamins needed for growth, repair, bone density, pH balance and hormone regulation. The problem is that many people don't have access to organic whole foods, so vitamin supplementation is important. When suffering from inflammation, pain and arthritis, the following vitamins may help.
Despite what a majority of people may have been made to believe concerning the issue of anti-inflammatory creams and the pain-relieving creams the truth is that the two types of creams differ immensely. Pain relief creams serve the important function of disrupting the transmission of pain signals from different parts of the body to the brain thus allowing you to feeling a sense of temporary pain relief. However, most cream pain relievers would not have elements that would help reduce inflammation or swelling. Nevertheless, the anti-inflammatory creams and the pain relief creams both can be used for arthritis flare-ups and dealing with minor sports injuries. Nevertheless, for those people who may have never used these types of medications before or those who may not be sure of the type to use it is important to consult with the doctor before using such a product. Most all, never use the anti-inflammatory creams on a child or expectant mother unless who check in with your doctor.
"I love to make my own home remedy to soothe sore muscles by adding 1-2 cups of Minera Dead Sea Salt ($42; sfsalt.com) and 5-8 drops of lavender essential oils to my bath. This combination draws out toxins, calms the parasympathetic system and helps aching muscles, while easing swelling and improving blood circulation. Afterwards, I'll apply some coconut oil to soothe dry skin.' —Nikki Warren, co-founder Kaia FIT
1. Capsaicin. Capsaicin creams and gels are made from chili peppers. They cause a mild to moderate burning sensation thought to alter nerves' ability to interpret pain by lowering the presence of a neurotransmitter called Substance P. Brand names including Capzasin and Zostrix are marketed for arthritis, backache, and other joint and muscle pains. These creams aren't generally associated with any adverse side effects though some patients may feel the heat more intensely than others.
It is a natural product which has been effectively used in the treatment of bone and muscle pain, in painful abnormalities resulting from spinal cord compression and as an analgesic medication following surgical interventions. It contains essential oils, alkaloid arnicine, glycosides, flavones, carotenes, mucilages and magnesia. Its main property is that it increases local blood flow due to its rubefacient effect, and its ability to relieve pain and improve muscle and nerve weakness. It is therefore very widely used for contusions, bumps, bruises, sprains, rheumatism, lower back pain, varicose veins, haemorrhoids and muscle pain.
"For years I have suffered with sciatica pain going down my right side. It is so painful that even sitting hurts. Nothing has ever worked well. I tried your patches by putting 3 discs on the painful area. For 3 days, I was pain free. As you suggested, I replaced the patches with new ones after 3 days and it no longer hurts. I also used it on my shoulder after a fall. It works! Thank you for helping me find relief." – Norma M.

The human body's natural response to injury results in inflammation-induced pain, swelling, and erythema. In order to reduce pain, anti-inflammatory agents such as NSAIDs act on the multiple inflammatory pathways, which, although often very effective, can have undesirable side effects such as gastric ulceration and, infrequently, myocardial infarction and stroke.
Schematic showing another inflammatory pathway that is activated by tissue injury. This is the NF-kB activation, in which once the protein is free as a result of tissue injury, it can enter the cell nucleus and activate the DNA to enhance the inflammatory response further by the production of additional cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules (IKKB = IkB kinase)
People with sensitive skin, infants, children, pregnant women, and seniors might be at a higher use using these products. People with kidney problems or kidney failure in the past shouldn't try an Ibuprofen cream. If you take aspirin, prescribed blood thinners such as Coumadin (warfarin) or have bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract, consult your healthcare provider before using these topical pain products. Do not use salicylates that cause blood to be thinner.
Did you know that the sensation of pain actually originates in your brain? Fortunately, we can actively alter the way our brain evaluates painful stimuli, helping to increase our pain tolerance and decrease painful symptoms.[12,13] Several techniques that aim to take more control over our minds and that relax the body can work wonders for pain control. Here are a few good examples:

A simple 4 panel cap made using dyed cotton fabric to match the rest of our line and keep your head covered. Made here in the Estados Unidos just like the rest of our clothing. One size fits most heads.
Thought it was exactly as expected
I know this cap is "one size fits all" but I have a pretty small head and found it too big. I wear a size 7 baseball hat, and small/medium helmet, and this hat came down too far on my head, putting pressure on the tops of ears when I was wearing my helmet to the point that my ears were hurting by the end of a 25 mile ride. The hat is nice quality, and well made, but just doesn't fit my small head and unfortunately it was a waste of money since I won't be wearing it any more.

Sarasota, Florida: a Top Destination for British Tourists and Homebuyers
Posted by Julian Yates on Wednesday, September 24th, 2014 at 5:25pm.
Sarasota, Florida is a top tourist destination for people from all around the world, but for those coming from the United Kingdom, this artsy-yet-sophisticated beach town holds a special appeal. In a July 2012 article, Sarasota Magazine named the U.K. as the number-one origin of foreign tourists, with a total of 45,553 British visitors in 2011. So just what is it about Sarasota that is so attractive to those across the pond?
At first glance, comparing the warm Florida sunshine to a cold English rain might make this question seem a no-brainer, but the answer runs a lot deeper and has a lot to do with the large number of British expatriates who call Sarasota home. Not only do they tell their friends and family back home about the paradise they've found, but they've also recreated here in Sarasota much of what they left behind. Our little beach town has plenty of remedies on hand for a homesick Briton.
Join the club
Yes, Sarasota actually has its own British Club with over 160 family and single memberships! For anyone wanting to connect with the area's British community, there is no better place to start. The socially-oriented club holds gatherings, events, outings, and activities, and is open to anyone with an interest in British culture. The club can also be a great resource for those planning a visit or even a move here.
Fancy a spot of tea?
Sarasota has a number of tea houses. The most notably British of these is, as the name would imply, Tastefully British, which also serves food and houses a grocery store and gift shop featuring goods from the U.K. Other popular tea houses include The Tea House, home of the Sarasota Tea Company, and the Elixir Tea House.
Pop 'round for a pint
Of Sarasota's many pubs, The White Horse Pub is the area's most celebrated English pub. Have a pint while watching a rugby match; if you get a mite peckish, survey the full menu of English pub fare such as fish and chips, smoked British back bacon, steak pies, and Yorkshire pudding. A few other pubs in Sarasota worth checking out are Shakespeare's Pub and The Shamrock Pub.
Can you bowl a wicked googly?
If so, then the Sarasota International Cricket Club is the place for you. Founded in 1983, the club has quite a history and boasts a large and active membership. Their yearly Thanksgiving Festival is one of the largest cricket events in America.
Stomp a divot
Conveniently located across from the cricket fields, the Sarasota Polo Club features nine polo fields and a regulation-sized arena. During the winter months, reveling picnickers raise champagne glasses and stomp divots at the weekly polo matches. It's a great place for throwing a car boot picnic. Speaking of cars ...
Show off that vintage British motorcar
British car enthusiasts in Sarasota and Bradenton started the Suncoast British Car Club back in 1991. The club holds holds car shows, poker runs, and social events.
One last consideration for British drivers: growing accustomed to driving on the wrong side of the road. There is some good news, though -- you will have the last laugh while easily negotiating Sarasota's many roundabouts, which cause endless confusion for native residents.
Julian is a happy Sarasota resident and your go-to guy for information about the perks of living in paradise. For more, get in touch with Julian directly via the Sarasota Property Finders Contact Page.

Whatever happened to the portable fish finder of yesteryear? At one time angers had several options from a variety of manufacturers to choose from. Today 'modern' portable electronics are scarce. The few that are available are usually the most basic models offered by a manufacturer with limited features. This leaves anglers who fishes remote waters from a 12' or 14' skiff with very limited options when it comes to modern marine electronics.
Here is an easy do-it-yourself project to up-grade an older outdated unit or create a new unit:
#1 – Most anglers still have or know someone who has an old out dated or non-functioning portable unit. Eagle Fish I.D or Eagle Fish Easy were very common units back in the day. Units like this can be found relatively easily at garage sales or on-line (eBay & kiijiji) and purchased for next to nothing. In obtaining one of these units the most critical components are the carrying case (housing), suction cup and if the power wiring is still intact that is a bonus.
#2 – Obtain a relatively current model marine electronics that you prefer. Most manufacturers offer downsized versions of their mega units that boast the same important features – colour screens, gps, high resolution, etc. These 'mini' units are much lighter and require less power which is critical for an effective portable unit.
#3 – Marry the 'modern' unit to the old case. Most old cases have mounting brackets that are permanently attached and need to be removed with the use of a hacksaw or small grinder in order for the new gimbal/bracket to fit. Install the new unit as instructed by the manufacturer. Use stainless fasteners if possible and seal any holes drilled into the case to run wiring or bolts with silicone or urethane to prevent corrosion issues in the future. The inside of most of these cases were intended to house a couple 6 volt batteries or several 'D' cell batteries. The interior may also need some renovations to make room for its future power source. If the unit is going to see some rough travel it is probably best to line the inside with foam tape to keep the battery secure. Use the old suction cup to mount the current transducer. Most transducer mounts are fairly universal and will easily adapt to fit and older suction cup style mount. A few extra washers maybe needed here to make a good fit.
#4 – Use a battery that will fit the case and maximize the available room. Remember the bigger the battery the longer it will last between charges but weight can also become an issue if you plan on carrying it along way with other gear. Most electronic stores offer these lead cell sealed batteries in a variety of sizes and under normal use they will commonly last about 5 years before they need replacement. The 7 amp hour batteries found in Vexilars and such can be transferred from these units and will operate a 5" colour screen for up to 3 days.
#5 – Take the unit to your favourite back woods lake and see what you have been missing!!!
