Despite a poor defensive effort in the first half and 23 turnovers for the game, the Milwaukee Bucks knocked off the Orlando Magic 99-91 in NBA action at the Bradley Center on Wednesday night.
The Bucks turned up the heat defensively in the second half, holding the Magic to 30% shooting from the field and 34 points in the second half to pull out the win.
Milwaukee (34-30) got 30-points from guard Khris Middleton, who equaled his career high set on Saturday in a win over the Washington Wizards.
A Giannis Antetokounmpo dunk and pair of Khris Middleton free throws sealed the victory for the Bucks, who went 2-1 on their home stand.
The Bucks hit the road now, starting with a game at Indiana tonight.

Who doesn't want to do more in less time? The 4-Hour Work Week anyone? Sounds great, and in theory, it's wonderful. The tricky part, however, is getting from theory, or thinking about it, to the doing part. We often get tripped up on how, exactly, to accomplish more in less time. We have all of these tools are our disposal, from tablets and smartphones to cloud-based applications, and our first instinct is to find a better tool.
A better tool isn't always the answer.
In this inaugural episode of the Law Practice Books Podcast, Tom Mighell interviews Allison Shields and Daniel Siegel on the topic of their new LP book, How To Do More in Less Time. They talk about starting small by setting goals and prioritizing, and then looking at the technology and processes you already use to accomplish daily tasks. Are those tech tools and processes being used efficiently? For example, are there ways to use the tech tools and apps you already have more efficiently, like using keyboard shortcuts to open, save, print or send documents? When at your desk, do you find yourself spending more time gazing out the window, or shuffling papers from one side of your desk to the other while your assistant sits idle?
Small steps lead to doing more in less time. Both Shields and Siegel give you a tip at the end to get started today.

Researchers develop an all-optical system for testing lab-on-a-chip human hearts
Posted: 17 January 2023 | Ria Kakkad (Drug Target Review) | No comments yet
A novel all-optical system uses optogenetics, machine vision cameras, and off-the-shelf components to stimulate and image engineered networks of human heart cells.
Researchers from the George Washington University, US, have developed a portable and low-cost macroscopic mapping system for all-optical cardiac electrophysiology. Their work was published recently in the Journal of Biomedical Optics.
Previous scientists adopted human-induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) as a model of the human heart. Such lab-on-a-chip human hearts can be used to study the disruption in these cardiac waves in response to various stimuli, using patient's own reprogrammed cells. Optical imaging can help visualise the waves, however highly sensitive high-speed cameras are needed for this purpose, and each one of them can be expensive, costing around $100,000.
Against this backdrop, the researchers aimed to develop an efficient and cheaper system for all-optical cardiac electrophysiology. Instead of using electrical stimuli, they triggered voltage, calcium waves, and mechanical contractions in hiPSC-CMs using optogenetic stimulation.
"Optogenetics uses light-sensitive proteins from algae that are genetically expressed in human cells to control them in a manner similar to that realised using electrical impulses. The utilisation of light, however, enables the stimulation of many samples simultaneously in a contactless manner without any wiring. This is not possible with electrical impulses," explained Emilia Entcheva, a scientist at George Washington University.
To make their system affordable, the researchers used inexpensive high-speed machine vision complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) cameras, priced 100 times lower than the scientific CMOS cameras typically used for this purpose. The team built a multicamera system, using LEDs and off-the-shelf components for stimulation and control. Using oblique LED illumination made it possible to discern local dye-free signals for small mechanical contractions, while imaging centimetre-scale area.
Once the system was in place, the researchers extensively quantified the effects of different experimental conditions on the measured wave parameters. Using illumination at various powers, they showed that the electrical and optogenetic stimulations of hiPSC-CMs were equivalent. However, because calcium waves were imaged using green light-excitable fluorescent sensors, and such light may partially also activate the blue light-based optogenetic actuators, the researchers found that extremely low illumination needed to be used to not alter calcium wave velocity. Voltage and calcium maps provided similar information under controlled electrical or optogenetic pacing conditions. The velocity of these waves varied with temperature and the type of experimental solution used.
Lastly, the researchers presented potential applications of their system. The system was shown to detect conduction changes due to drugs targeting cell–cell coupling. In addition, its transillumination mode could be reconfigured into an epi-illumination setting for imaging thicker samples, such as cardiac image slices or the surface of whole hearts.
The advantages of the novel all-optical setup are not restricted to the above demonstrations. The combination of multiple optical sensors and actuators in the setup design can handle spectral congestion and avoid parameter distortion. The new technology can help characterise hiPSC-CMs and further basic and translational cardiac arrhythmias studies. Moreover, it can open doors to other practical medical science applications soon.
"Patient-derived cells enable personalised testing of the most suitable drug combination. Therefore, the developed technology can help decide the best treatment for a patient, promoting effective and safe cures," concluded Entcheva. "Further, any drug development undergoes pre-clinical cardiotoxicity safety testing. The presented inexpensive system can help devise better and faster assays that can save lives and money."

Mombo is a name synonymous with watching the world's most majestic wildlife. The remote camp in Botswana's Okavango Delta set the benchmark in luxury lodging when Wilderness Safaris, the industry's pioneering ecotourism outfitter, took the reins in 1999. By boldly deviating from the once-rustic standards in the delta, the company transformed the camp into an upscale destination with five-star comforts—all while maintaining an uncompromising focus on low-footprint design and operations.
Nineteen years and a fourth renovation later, all the premium trappings are still dutifully considered. Mombo's latest iteration has private, shaded verandas with individual plunge pools and plush daybeds overlooking the floodplains, indoor and outdoor showers, generously stocked bar carts, and even an on-site wellness center—all of which is 100% solar powered.
With rates starting at $1,990 a night per person, such comforts are certainly expected. But high thread counts and copper bathtubs are only part of the Wilderness appeal. "Our competition is any tourism destination on the planet, not just Africa," says CEO Keith Vincent, who joined the company in 1993. "While the camp is spectacular, and you don't want for anything, it could never be the only draw."
That's why the company's stated mission is to conserve and restore Africa's wilderness: no animals, no safari. This is achieved in several ways. Hosting a small number of well-paying visitors means not only unobstructed game viewing but also mitigating disruption to the animals and their habitat. The company sets up in remote, under-visited, and biodiverse locales where it can rehabilitate the land and facilitate the return of large animal species. Its nonprofit arm, the Wilderness Wildlife Trust, has funded more than 100 conservation projects in the past decade.
A notable success of the Trust is its rhino reintroduction program. If travelers have the privilege of observing white and black rhinos during their game drives throughout the Mombo concession today, it's because of the partnership between Wilderness, Botswana's Department of Wildlife, and the Botswana government. Their collaborative operations in translocation and anti-poaching brought black rhinos back from localized extinction.
But conservation is about people too. Bill Given, a wildlife biologist and founder of the Wild Source, a safari agency, says Wilderness's attention to community empowerment is a major reason he recommends the outfitter to clients. Given mentions Children in the Wilderness, a program built around life skills and environmental education for children residing in neighboring villages. "It's a brilliant opportunity for children to experience the treasure of wildlife in their region and have that be positive," he says. "This can be rare in areas where the only wildlife experiences for locals are in conflict with animals." More than creating jobs for locals—which Given points out is a prerequisite for operating—the program's goal is developing the environmental leaders of tomorrow.
In an industry in which "greenwashing" is prevalent, Wilderness has earned a reputation as more of a conservation company funded by tourism than a traditional safari operator. That's important for many travelers. Sixty percent of Americans said they were concerned with the sustainability of their leisure travels, according to a 2016 survey by travel website Skift.
Far from resting on that reputation, Wilderness has bold ambitions. "We're looking into areas that have been devastated from years of war—areas that could potentially hold another 100,000 elephants in 20 years' time," says Vincent excitedly. "Isn't that tremendous?"

John Scofield
Some jazz musicians are content to stay in their comfort zones; they rarely change from one album to the next, and they believe that musical challenges are to be avoided. But not John Scofield. Not only is the influential guitarist unafraid of challenges‑‑he thrives on them and refuses to become predictable.
Stan Getz
Since Stan Getz' death from cancer in 1991, a fair amount of previouisly unreleased material (both live and studio recordings) has come out posthumously.
John Patitucci
When people hear the word "communion," they usually think of a Christian gathering. But the word can also be used to describe a gathering or fellowship that doesn't necessarily take place in a religious setting. Communion, John Patitucci's tenth album as a leader, is so-named because it represents a musical fellowship with a variety of musicians.
David Sanborn
Over the years, David Sanborn has had a way of coming up with intriguing album title--titles that have included Songs from the Night Before, Hearsay, Voyeur and Another Hand. There is always an interesting story behind the titles that Sanborn comes up with, and Timeagain is no exception. How did Timeagain, the veteran alto saxophonist's first project for the Verve Music Group after a nine-year stay at Elektra, get its title? Sanborn explains: "I came up with the title 'Timeagain' because much of this album is reexamining things from my past. On Timeagain, I'm readdressing songs that have meant a lot to me over the years--some of which I heard when I was growing up in St. Louis."
Charlie Haden
Charlie Haden is no stranger to Latin music. It was Haden who, in 1969, founded the Liberation Music Orchestra, a visionary, unapologetically political outfit that combined avant-garde jazz with both Spanish and Cuban influences. Nonetheless, Nocturne demonstrates that at 63, the veteran acoustic bassist is still quite capable of finding new things to say in the Latin realm. Produced with the acclaimed Cuban-born pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Nocturne marks the first time that Haden has devoted an entire album to boleros.
Poncho Sanchez
Poncho Sanchez was only 12 when he first heard The Jazz Crusaders, an intensely swinging unit that epitomized hard bop on the West Coast in the 1960s. Now, at 45, the Latin jazz and salsa percussionist celebrates the bands legacy with Freedom Sound, which features two of its founding members: trombonist Wayne Henderson and tenor saxophonist Wilton Felder.
Jimmy Bruno
Throughout the 1990s, Jimmy Bruno's name was synonymous with hard bop. Bruno was the guitarist to turn to when you wanted to hear pure, unapologetic, hard-swinging bop.
Michel Camilo
When two musicians with radically different backgrounds come together, there are often concerns about how compatible they will be. The musicians might find that the gap separating them is too wide—or on the other hand, they might find some common ground and develop something that is truly fresh and interesting. Very much an example of the latter, Spain finds Dominican jazz pianist Michel Camilo and Spanish flamenco guitarist Tomatito providing a jazz/flamenco hybrid that is as fresh-sounding as it is unorthodox.

Fr. Philip Neri Powell, OP
St. Dominic Church, NOLA
Jesus spends a lot of his time with the disciples teaching them the basic truths of the Good News. None of what he teaches them could be called "systematic theology" or "philosophical theology." If we just have to have a label to apply, we could use "biblical theology" or "biblical wisdom." At his arrival among us as the Word made flesh, Jesus fulfills all of the Old Covenant's obligations and promises. So, the content of his teaching is basically The How of how he fulfills these obligations and promises. How does he teach this? Word and deed. He preaches and acts as the Messiah. Truly, all he needs to do is travel around letting folks know that his Father's kingdom is coming and that they all need to repent of their sins and receive His mercy. Jesus is ever the practical teacher, ever mindful of his students and how they learn. He preaches parables not lectures; he performs miracles not arguments; he lives the Good News. His instructions to the disciples in this evening's gospel reading bear all this out. He gives them practical wisdom for spreading the Good but-not-so-easily received News.
When Jesus sends his disciples out into the world two by two to preach the Good News, he sends them out with next to nothing: "no food, no sack, no money in their belts." They could take sandals, a walking stick, and one tunic. Nothing else. They were to follow local guest customs; cast out unclean spirits; anoint the sick; and preach repentance in preparation for the coming of the Kingdom. What's striking about these instructions is the paucity of possessions they are allow to take. Some have argued that apostolic poverty is a condition for preaching the Gospel. You must be truly materially poor—imitating our Lord—in order to preach with authority. Others have argued that apostolic poverty is simply a means to an end. Less stuff, fewer worries on the road; fewer worries, more time to preach and minister. Historically, the Franciscans see true poverty as an end in itself. Dominicans, however, see poverty as a means, a tool for evangelization. We could say that whether the poverty Jesus requires of his disciples is a means or an end, what counts is the result of the preaching. His practical wisdom is both practical and wise. Just as Jesus himself is the Good News, his apostles (then and now) share in his mission and ministry and embody the virtues of the biblical wisdom he teaches.
How we present ourselves as apostles while preaching the Good News is vital to the message. Yes, less stuff on the road equals fewer worries and leaves more time to minister. And, yes, being truly poor can deepen one's humility, one's dependence on God's providence. But how does the practice of apostolic poverty among Christ's 21st century disciples help spread the Good News? Few of us practice the kind of apostolic poverty that Jesus requires of his 1st century disciples. That kind of poverty won't get us far in a capitalist culture dominated by a Protestant work ethic. A culture where "being poor" is thought to result from laziness. Our poverty will need to be a different sort. In order to successfully preach the Good News in postmodern America, we must be impoverished of despair and rich in hope; poor in apathy and rich in love; profoundly broke in mistrust, greed, anger and rich in faith, generosity, and hospitality. In other words, we must adopt and live-out the poverty of Self that Christ himself lived for others. We have nothing to be despairing about; nothing to be angry about; nothing that is our own to hoard; and we have everything we have from God to give and see multiplied in the giving. Like Christ, we give it all and receive it all back in ridiculous abundance!______________

Well, Well. Do Tell!
Well, well. Do tell, WHO do we have here?
It's no other than Miss Annabel Waddell!
She's tiny! She's floofy! AND she was born without a tail!
There's a bit of a nub where a tail should be, but it gets lost in her very hairy back end.
She is a wee bit wobbly and has a bit of a waddle, but her missing rudder doesn't really slow her down too much --- she scampers like the best of 'em.
Here she is in action:
Pretty cute, huh?
Welcome, Annabel!

The number of underground bands that were going around in the 90s and 80s have, understandably, drastically gone down in recent times with many of them having to deal with life, family, and all the other kind of s**t that us lame people do. Yet those who are still around manage to bring at least that original flavor of the supposed glory days of metal, and Countess prove that after 14 years they're still very much able to kick all the ass. Straight from that cover art you can tell that "Fires of Destiny" is an album of epic proportions, and within it are tracks that could very well be the overtures to bloody battles of widespread death, disembowelment, along with fire and brimstone to match, and you'd happily be along for the entire ride. The vocals have a sound as if they're being shouted from a metal cone of sorts with how they sound, and initially it was off putting to me but the more I heard them the more I thought they were a decent match for the rest of the band that compliment each other quite well. Then there's the keyboards that for a second I accidentally mistook them for vocals coming from the background because of their sound, but then my brain actually started to work and they add this really nice little bit of ambiance that many bands utilize, but Countess uses them sparingly within "Fires of Destiny" for only a few seconds at a time but they always have a magnificent feel and sound that permeates every one of their notes. The rest of the band has an impeccable sound as you might expect as they present to us a black metal sound straight out of the 90s yet not too raw or too composed, but just intense enough to where you can hear the sound of a era long gone. "Fires of Destiny" truly is a legacy worth talking about and Countess have earned all the bragging rights with this album with it being the culmination of over two decades of hard work and devotion coming to the excellent fruition that this piece is.

Fouad Mebazaa was sworn in as Tunisia's acting leader today after the country's longtime authoritarian president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, and his family took refuge in Saudi Arabia, the result of angry street protests against the government. It marks the second time power in Tunisia has changed hands over the past 24 hours: The prime minister had announced just a day before that he was taking power from Ali, but he abruptly gave it up this morning. Complying with the rules of succession, the prime minister turned over authority to Mebazza, speaker of the Tunisian Parliament, who is expected to hold elections to form a new government within 60 days. Acting president Mebazaa said:
Meanwhile, gunshots are still being heard in the Tunisian capital. Nearly 50 people have been reported dead as a result of rioting at two Tunisian prisons. Soldiers, police officers, and young men with guns are trying to keep the streets of downtown Tunis under lockdown. According to the Times, "Clouds of smoke from the burning and looting of a major supermarket hung over the bleached city skyline. Residents huddled in their homes for fear of the police." The protests began following the self-immolation last month of a college-educated street vendor in the remote town of Sidi Bouzid who was frustrated by the lack of job prospects and grew from grassroots through social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

'A war among women, as opposed to a war on women, is always pleasing to those who do not wish women well'
Joining in the conversations surrounding sexual harassment, Margaret Atwood penned an article for the Globe and Mail named: "Am I a bad feminist?". In it, the 78-year-old novelist said recent controversies were the symptom of a broken legal system and must be "seen as a massive wake up call".
However, she received backlash online for suggesting that aspects of the movement threatened to divide rather than liberate women. "In times of extremes, extremists win. Their ideology becomes a religion, anyone who doesn't puppet their views is seen as an apostate, a heretic or a traitor, and moderates in the middle are annihilated."
The piece continued, posing the question: "If the legal system is bypassed because it is seen as ineffectual, what will take its place? Who will be the new power brokers?"
If the crux of what she is saying is that #MeToo is symptomatic of a broken legal system, then she is right. Accusations would ideally take place in a court of law and find these men guilty. In the piece she clarifies why she likened a case where disgraced lecturer Steven Galloway was found not guilty of sexual assault after having his life ruined to the Salem witch trials clarifying that in "the structure of the Salem witchcraft trials, you were guilty because accused."
Calling for due process in cases of sexual assault is not the same as saying you don't believe women, it's ensuring that there are proper systems in place to deliver justice.
Nevertheless here's how Twitter responded, some admittedly before they'd actually read the piece:
I'm so disappointed in Margaret Atwood, but mostly I'm fed up with older women not having younger women's backs.— Olivia (@oliviasview) January 13, 2018
I cannot bring myself to read that Margaret Atwood shitpiece but I actually have an answer to its titular question: yes, calling rape survivors liars and trying to silence Indigenous folks on here makes one a pretty fucking bad feminist.— Gersande La Flèche🦉 (@gersandelf) January 13, 2018
Margaret Atwood's latest op-ed is a very, very clear reminder that old cis white women are not to be trusted. They care more about poor widdle accused men than they do about actual fucking rape victims. They spend as much time advocating for rapists as they do attacking victims.— Social Justice Warlock #TransIsBeautiful (@charllandsberg) January 13, 2018
Margaret Atwood has NEVER been so influential, with endless fawning American admiration. But she still can't get over being talked back to on Twitter, so she turns to the Globe to rewrite history/complain about how she's the victim #Canadianelite— UBCSexualAssault (@UBCGlynnis) January 13, 2018
As Atwood concluded in the controversial column: "A war among women, as opposed to a war on women, is always pleasing to those who do not wish women well."
Given that she has devoted her entire career to centring women's narratives and exploring a lack of female autonomy, is Atwood's call for nuance deserving of a Twitter storm labelling her a "bad feminist"?
Maybe it's time to think outside the realm of accusation and Twitter cancellation – we desperately need to talk about law and policy reform to tackle sexual assault, and it'll take a lot of different thoughts and perspectives to decide on the next step to take.

Top 5 NAFTA Errors
Canada, Mexico and the United States maintain measures imposing criminal, civil or administrative penalties for violations of their laws and customs procedures, including those related to NAFTA.
Here are the top 5 NAFTA errors to watch out for:
1. Completing a NAFTA when you don't actually need one — (either you're not the exporter, or your product is not dutiable)
2. Assuming "US Origin" is the same as an "originating good under NAFTA" — (not the same)
3. Completing a NAFTA incorrectly — (Preference Criterion, Producer, Net cost errors rolled into one)
4. Missing Records — (Substantiation is the rule)
5. Misapplying the NAFTA Rules and Exceptions — (RVC vs. Tariff Shift)
NAFTA is basically telling the government that you're not going to pay them. They therefore have the responsibility to maintain the integrity of the program through protocols written into the treaty itself. You absolutely do not want customs agents from another country performing an on-site audit at your facility. They take the responsibility of upholding the treaty – and collecting any rightfully owed duties & fees – very seriously.
1. Unnecessarily completing a NAFTA
We see companies do it all the time, not realizing that all you're doing is exposing your company to unnecessary risk. Since NAFTA is never a regulatory requirement, all that is accomplished is that your company has taken on additional risk without gaining any benefit.
If you don't understand the circumstances when a NAFTA is beneficial and appropriate, it's probably time to get some help with the do's and don'ts of the NAFTA.
[Some of the rules I'm talking about here are: 434s for domestic transactions (Annex 504), imports under $1,000 (Annex 503), and non-dutiable HTS items.]
2. Assuming "US Origin" is the same as an "originating good under NAFTA"
NAFTA has very specific rules that determine eligibility that apply to products of U.S., Canada, or Mexico origin. Are you aware of the eligibility requirements that make one U.S.-manufactured product NAFTA-eligible while another is not?
The rules of origin are laid out in Annex 401 of the treaty; if your product does not meet the necessary threshold, regardless of where it was manufactured, your product may not be eligible for preferential treatment.
3. Completing a NAFTA incorrectly
Common errors on NAFTA certificates may be inviting extra scrutiny and potentially audit. Customs agencies for all three member countries routinely evaluate NAFTA documentation and use some of the most frequent mistakes as indicators to trigger inquiries and audits.
Applying certain Preference Criterion, Producer, or Net Cost information can raise or lower the bar of your obligations. Do you know when to use Preference Criterion B instead of C? Are you inadvertently increasing your burden of proof by using NO(3) in column 8? Should you be using the Net Cost Method or is it better to use Transaction Value for your products in key circumstances? Is your good described appropriately and specifically enough to allow customs agencies to recognize how the NAFTA correlates to entry and commercial documents? These, and more, are all critical questions.
4. Missing Records
NAFTA is a voluntary program, but once you make the claim you have all the burdens and responsibilities outlined in the treaty. What records do you have and how quickly can you produce them? How specific are your claims and can you meet the threshold of substantiation?
If you use the Net Cost method, can you verify the amounts paid or payable? Do you have written, provable documentation from your suppliers to satisfy the Tariff Shift requirements?
5. Misapplying the NAFTA Rules and Exceptions
Some of the NAFTA Rules outlined in Annex 401 can be complex in application, with more than one way to qualify a good. Sometimes the rule is very straightforward but complex in its execution. Even customs agents have misapplied the rules – are you equipped to know and understand the rules and facts, and do you possesses the evidentiary requirements sufficient to defend and substantiate a claim when the need arises? If the answer is not an unequivocal "yes", your company could have 5 years of exposure to back duties and interest as well as criminal, civil, or administrative penalties.
Remember, the NAFTA document is only as good as all the data and signatures contained within it!

McDonald's is doubling down on America's love affair with bacon by offering limited-time bacon twists on three of its classic menu items.
The Big Mac Bacon and Quarter Pounder Bacon will each feature three slabs of thick-cut applewood bacon atop the otherwise familiar burgers, while Cheesy Bacon Fries will be blanketed with cheddar cheese and smoked bacon bits, the company announced Wednesday.
"People love bacon, and they love our iconic Big Mac, fresh beef Quarter Pounder burgers and World Famous Fries, so we had to see what would happen if we combined all that tastiness," Chef Michael Haracz, McDonald's Manager of Culinary Innovation, said in a news release.
The menu items will be offered at participating U.S. restaurants starting Jan. 30 for a limited time, though the company did not say how long that time would be.
The new products are the first of 2019 for Chicago-based McDonald's, which has been trying to figure out how to attract and retain customers amid stiff competition. Last year the chain announced it would use only fresh beef for its Quarter Pounders and also introduced Buttermilk Crispy Tenders and Triple Breakfast Stacks, a tower of two sausage patties, American cheese, egg and bacon. During the company's last earnings call in October, CEO Steve Easterbrook hinted that there would be more new product offerings to come.
Bacon, whose popularity has surged over the past decade, is a good bet. Last year people ate bacon on 4.2 billion occasions, and 31 percent of the time they ate it while dining out, according to Kim McLynn, spokeswoman for the market research firm NPD Group. Case shipments of bacon from foodservice distributors to eating and drinking establishments increased by 5 percent last year, she said.
Cheesy Bacon Fries were offered for a limited time in Hawaii, Northern California and McDonald's Chicago global headquarters last year, and were positively received in each market, spokeswoman Andrea Abate said.
Bacon is already a staple on the McDonald's menu, which features the meat in various salads and breakfast items as well as its Bacon Smokehouse burgers and chicken sandwiches and a Bacon McDouble.
Pricing for the new items will vary by restaurant but on average will be $5.19 to $5.39 for the Big Mac Bacon, $5.29 to $5.49 for the Quarter Pounder Bacon, and $3.15 to $3.45 for the Cheesy Bacon Fries, Abate said.

text: A '''''chal'han''''', or the '''Great Game''', is a ritualistic duel. The challenger seeks to display symbolic power over the challenged's Physical and Spiritual being, the challenged's Past, Present and Future, and the people that the challenged Loves and Hates. By controlling all seven aspects, the challenger demonstrates that he could completely destroy the challenged. The challenger and challenged must act through intermediaries, who cannot be aware of the duel. There are two versions, ''chal'han che'', in which the challenged is physically unharmed, but has his honor and reputation destroyed, and ''chal'han se'', resulting in the death. The challenged usually does not know which version is being used. Translated into English by Harlequin, The Ritual is as follows From the focus of my heart, I call the words Of anger spoken and desire revealed By my Challenge of word and deed By my blood consecrate thy bane invoked Thy shape and form decreed never was On thy Physical form, I call the words of rendering On thy Hates, I invoke Justice, thy anger unappeased On thy Past in shadows, I shine the light revealed On thy Loves and joys, I gift separation On thy Spirit, I speak abandonment On thy Future, I bring fear and grief On thee I Invoke all The winds shall erase thy name The sands the traces of thy path The sun the coolness of thy shadow And unto the waters I command thy essence Thy shape and form decreed never was ==Index== *{{src}}, 7, 127 CategoryCulture frChal'han

My Perfect School: Meet Principal Flava Flav
2 comments:
I am interested in the commentReplyDelete
"No classrooms- just free roaming."
How would instruction improve if students CHOSE whose classroom to attend? Schools could get rid of the teachers who had no students, and could hire new ones. Then, perhaps, real learning could take place! I know some teachers are favorites because they are fun, but I believe that most kids really DO want to learn, and I suspect they know which teachers truly DO teach.
I'm sure we would be surprised at the places students would choose. I noticed when I subbed for younger students that they liked to crawl under tables. I've always wondered what school would be like with less structure. Like a job- clock in and you have a list of things to accomplish that day. You can set up appointments with your teachers and do things in whatever order you like as long as everything gets done for that day. I think there would be some interesting results.ReplyDelete

Our little mermaid
I used:
- 6" x 6" square white card stock
- a downloaded digi image of a mermaid plus sea horse from here. Coloured with Pro Markers then some H2O's from the very lightly tinted iridescent set, which just gives a hint of pearl without changing the background colour too much. The tricky part was cutting the image out, then I added some tickles of Stickles in 'Cherry Ice' and 'Mint Ice'. The mermaid's 'tiara' was also Stickled with 'Mint Ice' and a teeny pearl popped in the centre
- the plain card I used to mat the patterned paper onto is SU's 'Pool Party' - appropriately enough :)
- backing paper is from Prima's 'Firefly' collection
- the 'seaweed or coral' in the bottom right hand corner is a part of an 'Arboscello Tree' die cut using 'Pool Party' again and tickled with 'Mint Ice' Stickles
- sentiment is LOTV, stamped in 'Pearlescent Purple', die cut and a couple of little pearls added
- pink organza bow, with a lovely silver dolphin charm (thank you Jules!) tied on with iridescent cord
- then I hovered, holding my 'Water Droplets' stamp - but bottled out for fear of spoiling hours of work (I'm a very slow crafter!). I hasten to add, it wasn't because the stamp wouldn't have enhanced the end result, I was just worried I did a last minute 'shake action' and smudged! Suddenly remembered a whole range of 'dewdrops' I had tucked away so added just a few pale turquoise ones with Glossy Accents
- thought it was finished until Grandad Len saw it and asked me to add Mia's name - silver peel offs to the rescue!
What with this and yesterday's Snippets card, there's a lorra swimming going on right now!
And, thank you so much for your lovely comments yesterday - but without you, your unselfishness, sense of fun and at times the downright ridiculous, we wouldn't have a Playground!

Your card is beautiful and what a great ides to use that tree die for the seaweed!
Oooooh Well done Mia, and what a lovely card Di the image is perfect xxReplyDelete
Good for Mia - it's amazing how something we love can motivate us to conquer our fears (works for all ages!) I adore your little sea horse card and it reminds me of an illustration in a book I used to read to my daughter when she was small and was obsessed with seahorses too. Vicky xReplyDelete
that's so cute - Mia will love it! The dewdrops are the perfect finishing touch :-)ReplyDelete
debs x
This is gorgeous and Well Done Mia! I feel her fear!ReplyDelete
Somehow I think that Mia will love the dewdrops with their sparkle! Another darling image!ReplyDelete
hi dear dear Di, well what a fabulous card and wow! you all must be so proud of her, well done so remember my fear of the deep end too, in early days... love Shaz in oz.xReplyDelete
Hello Di,ReplyDelete
Congratulations to Mia! I can just imagine the courage it took for her to jump in the deep end of the pool! That seems like a long distance too.
Your cards are always so pretty and inspiring.
The fire has now grown to over 21,000 acres but NM4 has been re-opened and some evacutees have now been given the green light to return home.
Fabulous card Di, lovely image and great papers and the dew drops look great.ReplyDelete
Your Grand-daughter will love it.
Well I was playing at doing too many things and once and not concentrating on just doing one. I was preparing a post then changed my mind but must have posted it instead of deleting it.
Kath x
Lovely little mermaid, and thanks for the link. You colored her so sparkling & she just glowed when I enlarged the pic. Marvelous cutting job I say. Your grand will love it. The dewdrops were perfect as bubbles, and I hear you about hesitating to spoil what you'd already done. (I do that & then wish I had not added the last item!). TFSReplyDelete
This card is gorgeous! The background paper couldn't be more perfect with that beautiful mermaid and I LOVE the dew drop bubbles. :)ReplyDelete

Measuring system for strip position monitoring in a coating tank
In the electrolytic refinement of thin sheets electrical losses are minimised by a small distance between strip and anode. This requires exact strip guidance. Before the strip enters the coating tank it is guided and measured between two measuring bars with nine eddy-current sensors each. Actuators are initiated and change the position of the anodes in accordance with the strip geometry, or initiate a return to the starting position if limit values are exceeded.

Creative Director
What Is Your Favourite Flower/Season?
I love summer! All the different shades of blue - from the pale blue of Scabious to the deep blues and purples of Delphiniums - they all go wonderfully well with lots of pinks and greens. My most favourite flower of all is the Gloriosa Lily. But equally, I love all the seasons as they all bring with them a fantastic variety of different colours and textures.
What's The Best Job You have Being Involved With?
I have been in this industry virtually all my working life and have been involved in lots of prestigious events; Chelsea Flower Show, Henley Regatta, The British Grand Prix, Royal Ascot and many more. I love to meet different people and characters all with their own special skills - it is fantastic to watch people who are the best in their field.
Creative Director
What Is Your Favourite Flower/Season?
It changes every season, every week or is that every day. I love many different flowers I couldn't say I have a particular favourite, as I walk round the market or look on the Dutch suppliers van I see something that catches my eye, it's often an exceptional specimen of something quite ordinary, or exotic, I have to have it despite the price. At the moment I have to say my favorite flowers are hydrangeas due to the size of the flowers and the beautiful textures and colours they are available in.
What's The Best Job You have Being Involved With?
I haven't done it yet, the challenge is that my best days work is yet to be done.
But to date creating the designs for various magazines and demonstrations around the U.K and Europe have been the most interesting.
What Do You Enjoy Most About Being A Florist?
Well, I used to enjoy getting up at 4am and going to the flower market. The roads were quiet and most sensible people would still be in bed! The minute I turned into the market it was hustle & bustle, another world. Now the flowers arrive into the shop direct from Holland but it's still a great thrill to lift the lid off the boxes and find the delights inside.
What Is Your Favourite Style Of Arrangement?
My favourite style of arrangement is masculine, large and structured, with Helaconias, Strelitzia, unusual branches and dried tropical bark.
What Do You Enjoy Most About Being A Florist?
I love being able to put my creative flair into my work. I enjoy working with lots of different flowers and creating unique, bespoke floral designs. Having a strong passion for flowers helps me get the most out of my job and work to my full potential.
What Is Your Favourite Style Of Arrangement?
It has to be a stylish, structured modern arrangement, which allows you to use different techniques and gives you the freedom to create something unique.
What's The Best Job You have Being Involved With?
Being involved in a 'celebrity' style wedding where no expense was spared is my most memorable job. It was a priviledge to work with an abundance of chic and sophisticated flowers. To see the church and venue (New Hall, Sutton Coldfield) adorned in creations designed by the team was very rewarding.
What Is Your Favourite Flower/Season?
I would say Stocks because of their beautiful fragrance. They always remind me of the summer - my favourite time of year!

Extreme Cold (-15° - 5° C)
Our Extreme Cold Weather collection features the ultimate in Weather-shielding fabrics.
Just because temps are below 5°C doesn't mean you need to layer up like Ralphie's brother in the movie A Christmas Story. Excessive layers only elevate body temperature, which leads to increased perspiration, and an increased body chill in wind or times of reduced effort.
With the proper jacket, you can skip a jersey and go with just a base layer. We recommend the Vertex Jacket and Bib Tights, paired with the High Country Wool Base Layer. Add some accessories, like a cap, gaiter, gloves, etc., and you're all set to brave the cold.
Ideal for cold days and temperatures between -15° - 5° C.

A huncoat recycling business has devised a gift your scrap incentive scheme to raise money for a local hospice.
HML Recycling Ltd has agreed to donate for payouts of £15 or less for scrap metal to East Lancashire Hospice.
Bosses at the Bolton Avenue company say each month the hospice will receive a cheque with 100 per cent of the small transaction costs as a donation.
Customers can also gift their scrap car or larger amounts of metal with all donations being posted at the cash desk and on the company's website.
The person handing over the metal will also receive a confirmation to take away.
Owner Michael Rogan said the family business was keen to support the hospice.
He added: "We are hoping this scheme will encourage people to recycle, so rather than disposing of it in the wrong way, they can give the proceeds to charity in the knowledge that a small amount will add up to make a big difference.
"We know the hospice is an amazing place and provides a vital service to families, and we're happy to be able to help the hospice in this way."
Hospice fundraiser Jennifer Quinn added the money raised will make a big difference to the hospice care services.
She said: "As well as encouraging responsible scrap disposal, people are helping a good cause and we're very grateful for everyone's support."

India: Child Labor Flourishes In Northeast India In Defiance Of Ban – Video
|In defiance of the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986, establishments in India continue to hire children. Children are engaged in labor in retail and the service industry and selling on the streets. This includes cooking and selling items on the streets of Manipur and not being able to attend school. These are the visible forms of child labor. What isn't shown in the video are the many forms of child labor that is hidden behind doors, such as domestic servitude, working in sweatshops, and other worst forms of child labor…

Humanity is facing a new biologic threat in the form of the deadly COVID-19 virus. The highly contagious nature of the virus is placing health care workers, in particular, at an increased risk of contracting the virus. In a bid to protect health care workers and intensify safety and screening measures, iWave Systems introduces expert solutions to help the medical industry combat the virus's spread. We have lined up an HMI Solution for remote diagnosis, an AI-powered SBC for computer vision applications, a facial recognition system for contactless access, fitness tracker, and skin analyzer solutions to detect early signs of COVID 19 symptoms.
Here is an outline of iWave's Innovative Solutions to combat COVID-19:
HMI (Human Machine Interface):
In the medical industry, early detection and diagnosis of COVID -19 symptoms are essential to ensure the right treatment for patients. Equally important is continuous monitoring of the patient's biometric statistics to ensure the effectiveness of treatment and prevent a relapse. Remote monitoring using HMI Systems can help medical professionals to continuously monitor and diagnose their patients' health conditions, without actual physical contact with the infected or potentially ill person.
iWave offers HMI solutions that are customizable, performance scalable, and application-ready solutions for medical automation needs. The rugged and high performance HMIs are based on multi-core ARM processors and supports high-speed interfaces and multiple connectivity options. iWave also offers FPGA SoC based HMIs for proprietary protocols and latency-critical applications. We help customers with a complete solution by providing Linux and Android BSP support and open source graphical framework libraries for GUI development. The high-resolution HMI platforms can be used individually or be easily interfaced with a medical system to facilitate the remote monitor and diagnosis of COVID -19 patients.

Facial recognition system:
Have you recently been skeptical of using a contact-based access system in your office or a public place? This trait is a major concern in most places for a valid reason. An access surface in a public place is used by many individuals, which makes it a potential source for contracting the deadly COVID-19 virus.
Taking this into account, iWave Systems has successfully demonstrated an alternative solution using facial recognition technology. The solution helps customers with a zero-contact access application by using individuals' faces to authorize access to a restricted site.
The facial recognition demo runs on iWave's i.MX 8M Mini board, based on the NXP® i.MX 8M Mini applications processor. Through the support of key features such as camera, display, connectivity, and the NXP eIQ machine learning software, the i.MX 8M Mini board provides an intelligent platform for the development of facial recognition systems.
Find more details about the demo in this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du2fSHhzxNw
Surveillance Camera, Drones, Robotics:
In the war against COVID-19, surveillance cameras, drones, and robots are playing a key role in reducing the risks of cross infections. From patrolling the streets, detecting the potentially ill to delivering essentials, these high tech devices are helping authorities to flatten the COVID-19 curve. Essentially, these devices must be capable of making intuitive decisions on-board with little or no dependency on other systems. These abilities are enabled with the help of ML and AI algorithms.
iWave Systems introduces the Corazon AI platform, specifically designed for high accuracy AI acceleration in Edge devices. The Corazon AI is built on Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC and supports key features such as multi-camera support, high-speed connectivity, and the Xilinx Vitis AI Stack which makes the Corazon-AI a perfect fit for computer-vision based AI applications. The Xilinx AI Stack includes pre-optimized deep learning models that reduce complexity and accelerate the development of AI applications. The solution also incorporates a configurable deep-learning processor unit dedicated to Convolution Neural Networks that further enhances the platform's inference capability. The platform can be interfaced with a thermal camera to measure body temperature readings and can be used in surveillance applications to enforce social distancing and quarantine orders.
iWave can help customers accelerate their projects by providing custom FPGA design implementation, porting well-trained network weights, hardware, and software pipeline optimization for performance-driven AI functions on the edge.

Fitness Tracker:
Throughout the world, millions of people are using digital health trackers to monitor their health, recovery, and sleep patterns. These health trackers can also be used to check if you may be potentially ill with the COVID-19 virus before fever or other symptoms start to set in. For example, body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rates can be continuously assessed in real-time to detect early signs of any abnormalities.
iWave Systems have expertise in aiding the development of solutions for digital health tracking. Our hardware platforms and expertise in software, custom sensor integration, and high-speed connectivity have been used by clients to capture and analyze real-time biometric data. These data provides actionable insights that can be used to detect early signs of the COVID-19 infection. Check out the link for more details: https://www.iwavesystems.com/fitness-tracker
Skin Analyzer:
Doctors, nurses, and health workers who are at the frontline of fighting the COVID-19 are under constant threat of contracting the deadly virus. They often have to come in close proximity with infected patients, which puts them at a high degree of risk.
iWave Systems have aided the development of a Skin Analyzing Solution that health officials can use to assess temperature and skin variabilities without actual physical contact with the patient. The data obtained can be analyzed in real-time to detect fever and changes in skin conditions, which are apparent symptoms of the virus infection.

Mönch is one of the majestic Bernese Alps peaks in Switzerland. Mönch, Jungfrau, along with the Eiger form the "Holy Trinity" of climbers among the mountains of the country. They have a massive north wall, which is one of the most famous places in the Alps. Resembling the shape of a cross formed by two large mountain ranges, as one of the edges is Mount Eiger, this wall is a challenge for climbers from all over the world.
Mönch and other large glaciers are part of the registered in 2001 in the List of World Heritage of UNESCO Natural Heritage Site "Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bichhorn". Peak Mönch literally means "monk" and together with the Jungfrau ("Virgin") are the main characters in a beautiful local legend. Mönch occupies a central position in the three views of the mountain top, and Jungfrau remains to the west and Eiger - to the east.
The height of the Mönch is a massive 4017 meters. Mönch lies on the border between the cantons of Valais and Bern and rises west of Mönchsjoch (at 3650 m altitude) and the Mönchsjoch Hut, located just down from that peak. Mönch stands west of Jungfrau and Ewigschneefäld, which are an integral part of the Great Aletsch Glacier. The rocky north wall of Mönch lies above the valley Lauterbrunnen.
The first brave men who conquer Mönch are Christian Almer, Christian Kaufmann, Ulrich Kaufmann and Sigismund Porges, this happens on August 15, 1857. Now Mönch is a climb among the top three of this part of the Bern Alps, the foundations of which are full of major winter resorts. Between the peaks of Jungfrau and Mönch lies the terrace of the Sphinx, reached easily by lift. From this terrace is a splendid view of the 23 mile Glacier Aletsch and the picturesque green valleys below.
In Mönch passes the highest transport service in Europe - 3454 m above sea level. This is the rail, so-called Jungfraubahn, launched in the most attractive section of Scheidegg. The train passes under Mount Eiger, crosses the glacier and reaches the saddle between the peaks Mönch and Jungfrau.
Climbing the alpine peaks Jungfrau and Mönch is a serious challenge for any mountaineer; good preparation and quality equipment are required for the exercise. Mönch is the easiest choice of the two peaks, because the last stop on the railway is just below the summit and offers easy access to attacking it.
The starting point for the ascent is usually Kleine Scheidegg station which is located at 2029 m altitude or city Lauterbruner. From here take the iconic Jungfraubahn railway that leads to the area between the two peaks. This section of the railway is 9.6 km long, about 6.4 km from it is a tunnel dug in the mountains, passing through an extremely unique experience. Before you go through it there are two short stops - in Eigerwand (2830 m) and Eismeer, which is situated at an altitude of 3110 m. The final stop is the Jungfraujoch, where climbers attack Mönch.
Climbing to the top Mönch offers a selection of good routes. The most popular of these is the South Ridge. This route involves climbing sharp snow-ice ridges and rock climbing on good igneous rock. Usually climbing Mönch begins with a gentle transition from the railway station Jungfraujoch, which leads to the base of the crest. From here follow easy sections of rock climbing. About half way on the crest you start addressing the first snow ridges, and then snow and rock line up, resulting in a beautiful comb, which reaches Mönch.
