Indiana University is leading a
collaborative project with the Pacific
Northwest Gigapop to establish a trans-Pacific 100 gigabit-per-second
(Gbps) circuit dedicated to research and education.
The circuit, called the TransPAC-Pacific Wave, is already operational
between its node in Seattle, WA, and an access point in Tokyo, Japan. Additional
work on the circuit is scheduled for completion this fall and will provide
direct connectivity to the Tokyo Research Exchange. The completed circuit will
be 10 times faster than current connectivity rates available to researchers
between the United States and Asia.
"This milestone is great news," said Greg Bell, division director at the
United States Department of Energy's Energy
Science Network, in a prepared statement. "The world's hardest problems can
only be solved through global collaboration, and 10-gigabit links will soon be
insufficient to support large-scale science."
The TransPAC-Pacific Wave is named after the two National Science Foundation-funded projects that
collaborated to establish the circuit. The TransPAC4 project is led by Jennifer
Schopf, director of International Networks at
Indiana University, and supports backbone circuits between the United States
and Asia. The Pacific Wave project is a distributed open exchange created by
the Pacific Northwest Gigapop and the Corporation
for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC). The Pacific
Northwest Gigapop is the provider of the link for the TransPAC-Pacific Wave.
Schopf called the TransPAC-Pacific Wave circuit a "game changer for the world
of big data research" because "researchers will now be able to share their
largest databases at extremely fast speeds."
According to information from Indiana University, the TransPAC-Pacific Wave
circuit will support research and education network traffic across the Pacific,
as well as ultra-high-definition video distribution, real-time instrument
control, telepresence, virtual reality and big data applications for research.
It will also support software-defined exchange and networking, including
OpenFlow, and improved interconnections between Asian research and education
networks and their counterparts in the United States.

Text mining attempts to discover knowledge from text documents. Term extraction is usually the first step in a text mining process. Once the terms are found, several other text mining techniques can be used to enhance a content-based filtering system. Two of these text mining techniques are document clustering and using thesauri.
Document Clustering
In order to find interesting documents a content-based filtering system has to search through the entire document collection. By partitioning the document collection into clusters the search space can be reduced. One text mining approach is to use the hierarchical agglomerative clustering method to create clusters of related documents. Documents are represented as vectors in the vector space model and are compared by using the Dice coefficient. The document hierarchy can be searched in several ways. The search can for example start at the root of the tree. The centroids of each child node are compared to a profile vector and the child node with the greatest similarity is then searched. This process repeats itself until the bottom of the tree is reached or the cluster size is smaller then a predefined threshold.
A serious concern for document classification is the computational complexity of clustering methods. The hierarchical agglomerative clustering method for example takes at least time to cluster n documents. Several methods have been proposed to speed up the clustering process. One approach reduces the dimensionality of the document vectors by using the latent semantic indexing representation. Because the vector lengths are much shorter in the LSI space it takes less time to calculate the similarity between two documents.
Documents that are represented in a vector space model based on the selection of single terms cannot be completely identified. There exist a number of text mining approaches that concentrate on the term selection process itself to solve the problems of synonymy and polysemy. The parsing process can be extended to identify phrases for example. Many information retrieval systems identify phrases as frequently occurring pairs of terms that are not separated by a stop word. More complex methods use algorithms from natural language processing to select phrases.
Another approach is to group synonyms of terms together by using a thesaurus. A thesaurus is a set of terms plus a set of relations between these terms. Thesauri can be generated either manually or automatically. A hand-made thesaurus usually contains only domain-specific knowledge since its construction is a very labor intensive process. The automatic construction of a thesaurus requires the clustering of terms that occur frequently together in the document collection. One approach is to represent terms as vectors, where each weight corresponds to the number of occurrences of the term in a certain document. The terms are compared by using the cosine measure. Various clustering methods can then be used to find groups of terms that occur often together. Instead of relying on the number of times two terms appear together in same document, the similarity between two terms can also be determined by the number of times they appear together in the same context (if the terms are in close proximity to each other). Another possibility is to use the number of co-occurrences of two terms in the same document cluster.
Automatically generated thesauri suffer from the fact that a relation between two terms is only found when the terms occur frequently in the document collection.

In the Chen laboratory, we mainly focus on the investigation of pathogenic mechanisms of craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD) using multiple genetic and molecular biology approaches including a knock-in mouse model for CMD and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from CMD patients. We have characterized the CMD mouse model replicating many features of human CMD and identified abnormal properties of osteoclasts and osteoblasts in CMD. Subsequently, I have generated integration-free induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from peripheral blood of CMD patients and control subjects. These hiPSCs will be differentiated into osteoclasts to study osteoclast defects in CMD. My long-term goal is to develop therapeutic strategies that can benefit patients with CMD and similar rare bone disorders.
As an endodontist, I am also interested in dental research. My laboratory has been funded by the American Association of Endodontists to establish a 3D culture modeling system that can be easily analyzed and improve or complement the current assays for testing new dental materials.

A petition that calls for an end to the annual dog-eating festival in Yulin, China, has collected 11 million signatures.
Activists behind the petition are hoping to stop the consumption of dog meat at the festival, which is set to start later this month. 24 activists accompanied by their dogs submitted the petition to the representative office of Yulin city in China's capital, Beijing. The activists were seen holding banners with pictures of their pets and the message "I'm not your dinner".
Yulin's controversial annual festival which is set to take place on 21 June involves the slaughter of thousands of dogs for human consumption. According to the Washington Post, 30 million dogs are killed across Asia on an annual basis for their meat, with China being responsible for more than a third of that number.
Many of the dogs are allegedly stolen for the festival and are kept in cramped cages before their slaughter. Humane Society International has described the Yulin event as a "nightmare not a festival".

What follows is based on the recommendations for lightning protection provided by the American Boat & Yacht Council, Standard E4.
The primary purpose of a lightning protection system is to provide for the physical safety of all aboard your vessel. Prudent actions that should be taken during an electrical storm are: 1) If at all possible remain in the cabin of a closed boat. 2) No one should be in the water or have any part of their body immersed in the water. 3) Do not come into contact with any components connected to the lightning protection system of a properly protected vessel. Otherwise your body could act as a conductive bridge between any items connected to the lightning conductive system. For example, you should not be in simultaneous contact with a metal steering wheel and a metal stern pulpit.
A good lightning protective system ensures that all large masses of metal are electrically connected. This purpose should not be confused with that of the vessel's basic bonding system. A properly installed and isolated bonding system is there to provide a low resistance electrical path to reduce electrolytic corrosion and as a measure of personal protection if there is an electrical fault in the boat's AC/DC electrical systems.
If your sailboat is a vessel with an aluminum mast you have the starting point of a well-grounded lightning rod. This will provide a zone of protection for a radius around its base equal to the height of the lightning rod. Due to some vessels overall length, it may be necessary to install another lightning rod to encompass any areas that do not fall within the zone of protection. Don't forget that the mast itself must be physically bonded or connected through to the common ground - one of the keel bolts or if a encapsulated keel, to the grounding plate, in order to provide optimum protection.
The apex of the rod should be a minimum of six inches above any masthead device. The end should be sharpened to a point. The base of the mast or the mast step if metal, should be connected to a keel bolt on externally ballasted vessels. The preferred wire gauge is No. 6 or even better, #4AWG stranded copper. In no case should such a connection be made to a vessel with internal ballast. The result could be a hole blown through the bottom of the hull. Boats with internal ballast should have a copper ground plate of at least one square foot in size installed externally on the hull bottom. The grounding wire should then be connected to the ground plate.
All wire conductors should be kept as straight as possible. All large metal objects above and below decks should also be electrically tied into the lightning ground conductor. This is a precaution against side flashes. Large metal objects include shrouds, chainplates, toe rails, sail tracks, winches, steering wheels, and bow and stern pulpits. These items can be tied into the ground conductor wire by a minimum #8AWG stranded copper gauge wire, or connected directly to the hull ground terminus.
A thorough inspection of the lightning protection system should be conducted on an annual basis as part of normal maintenance procedure. All connections should be maintained tight and corrosion free. Any corrosion will impede the flow of electricity and promote side flashes. For that reason it is important that the lightning protection system receive the same attention as the rest of the systems aboard the vessel. This should be included as a part of the annual lay-up and maintenance procedure. For additional details regarding the lightning protection standards readers should refer to American Boat and Yacht Standard E-4

I can't take it anymore. This is the straw that broke the camel's back. No, it's not the most egregious of absurd Luka Modric stories that we've heard during the transfer window, but I just can't take it anymore. First of all, here's a ridiculous headline from Sky: Harry denies new Modric bid.
This implies that everyone was saying ZOMG CHELSEA MADE A NEW BID FOR MODRIC which is just plain not true. I am so beyond done with all of these headline baiting BS stories that have no content. I thought the transfer window was fun, then funny for quite some time. It is now August 22, and I am now pissed.
The next time I write about Luka Modric and his status with Tottenham Hotspur and/or Chelsea FC, it will be because one of the following three things have happened:
1. Tottenham have confirmed via their official website that a fee has been agreed for the sale of Modric
2. Chelsea have confirmed via their official website that a fee has been agreed for the purchase of Modric
3. It is September 1st.
I promise that I am officially done with this stupid crap. Though I can't speak for the other writers on the site, who I will not censor, I am done speculating about the future of Luka Modric. Enjoy the actual f--king football match that's being played tonight.

OAKS, PA – As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on indoor gatherings in place in the State of Pennsylvania, the Pioneer Pole Buildings Motorsports Racecar and Trade Show fueled by Sunoco Race Fuels has been postponed until 2022.
The decision to postpone the event, which was to be held on January 22, 23 & 24 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, was made over the Thanksgiving holiday by event promoter Len Sammons.
"Postponing the event which has been held annually for over 30 years was one of the toughest decisions I have had to make," stated Len Sammons.
"Up until last week I was optimistic that we would be able to find a way to host the event. But after the Governor announced his latest restrictions on indoor gatherings it became clear that it wasn't going to be possible."
To combat the spread of COVID-19 in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Governor Tom Wolf announced a reduction in indoor gatherings at press conference on Tuesday, November 24. The reduction moved the capacity inside the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center to just 5% its total capacity or less than 500 people.
Before the latest reduction Motorsports Show staff was in contact with the Montgomery County Board of Health to develop a safety plan to host the event.
"We were really close to having an approved plan, things would have been different and done with the proper safety measures in place," stated Sammons.
Title sponsor Pioneer Pole Buildings and owner Bob Greene have already pledged their support for the event in 2022. Likewise Sunoco Race Fuels, Aqua Duck Water Transport and Bob Hilbert Sportswear will all return as show sponsors.
"With the event now just a month and half away, we needed to make a decision so that all our great exhibitors can make plans," added Len Sammons.
"Unfortunately, right now it's not possible to host the event in the manner which we would like… or that our attendees and exhibitors have come to expect."
"While it wouldn't be Motorsports, if conditions improved I would be open to doing a smaller show in February or March," concluded Sammons. "I am an optimistic person and keep hoping that things will get better and we can get back to business as usual. When that happens we will be there to help the race tracks, businesses and racers connect."
Andrea Cap, Ms. Motorsports 2020, has agreed to keep her crown for an unprecented second year. Despite COVID-19 restrictions during the past year, Cap did an outstanding job traveling to as many events as possible. But she missed out on many special trips she'll now be able to accomplish to represent herself, her crown and event sponsor Aqua Duck Water Transport.
Anyone interested in being added to the mailing list for Motorsports 2022 can email email@example.com with your name, address and phone number or call Danny Sammons at 609-888-3618.
Information will be posted at the show web-site, www.motorsportstradeshow.com when available.
With over 250,000 square feet of nothing but racing, the Motorsports Racecar & Trade Show is the perfect place for people serious about the motorsports industry.
The perfect show for: Speed Equipment Suppliers, Parts Manufacturers, Engine Builders, Race Fuel & Lubricants, Trailer Manufacturers & Retailers, Car Builders, Safety Equipment, Race Tracks and Speedways, Publications, Graphic Companies, Apparel Companies, VIdeo Producers and Much More!

We're having a Baby!
I can't believe I am about to type these words… we're having a baby! Even though I am almost half way through my pregnancy (19 weeks) it still feels surreal. Jase and I couldn't be happier and can't wait to welcome our little one into the world in about 4 months from now.
Our Little Rainbow
You might be wondering why I've waited longer than the usual 12 week mark to share this exciting news with the world… well there are actually a couple of different reasons we wanted to have a mindful pregnancy announcement. The first is that this is our rainbow baby. If you aren't familiar with 'rainbow baby', it's the term used for a baby that comes along after a miscarriage or stillbirth.
Last year was a year of the highest highs and lowest lows. And that heartbreaking low for us was the miscarriage we went through not long after my 30th birthday. I never intended to keep our miscarriage a secret, but up until now I haven't felt healed enough to talk about it openly. I also worried that I'd feel pressure if I talked about it before I was pregnant again. The thought of knowing people knew we were trying for a baby was a bit too overwhelming for me, especially during a time when it's already easy to put pressure on yourself. Having gone through a miscarriage meant that I had a lot of extra anxiety at the beginning of our second pregnancy and announcing it at 12 weeks still felt a little vulnerable to me.
The reason I've decided to share our miscarriage now is because of how lonely I felt when I was going through it. I wanted to put it out there incase our story can bring just a little bit of comfort or support to anyone else who might be going through a loss themselves. I remember feeling a spark of hope when I heard about others who went on to have a baby after a miscarriage – it also made me feel less alone.
The second reason is that we wanted to share the news with family and friends in our own time. With a trip planned back to Australia when I was 15 weeks along, we decided to wait to tell some people in person. Fast forward to today and it's our second week back from our Australia trip so life is settling back down and it feels like the right time to share our news here.
When I first found out I was pregnant, I wanted to shout it from the rooftops and even grab strangers in the street to let them know about our miracle! The first trimester is a really strange time because you can be excited, nervous, anxious and full of hormones that do all sorts of things to your body and mood. Deciding when to share your news isn't as straightforward as waiting until the traditional 12 weeks. So after being through it recently I wanted to share some of my tips for a mindful pregnancy announcement.
Tips for a Mindful Pregnancy Announcement
- Think about who you would want support from in any situation: With our first pregnancy we felt that we should wait 12 weeks before we told anyone at all. This meant that when we went through our miscarriage before 12 weeks we felt very isolated. The people we needed support from didn't even know we were pregnant, and now we had to tell them we'd had a miscarriage. Because it felt so awkward and out of the blue to bring it up, there were people I wanted to tell but didn't. So my tip would be that the 12 week rule doesn't always apply. Think about who you would want to be there for you in both the ups and the downs and consider when you'd like to share your news with them.
- Consider who you should tell personally vs. a social media announcement: When it comes to deciding who you tell personally (whether that be in person or over the phone) and who will find out with a more general announcement, I found it helpful to reverse the situation. If Jase or I would feel sad to find out big news about that person on social media, then I knew we needed to tell them in person. Also consider if you want to tell your boss/colleagues in person, as this is news that will affect your work.
- Don't be afraid to ask for support if you haven't officially announced your news: The first trimester was nothing like what I imagined it to be. If you are struggling with fatigue (think falling asleep at your desk and needing 4 naps per day), morning sickness, anxiety or anything else that impacts your day to day life don't be afraid to share your news with people who can support you. You might feel better if your manager knows why you're a bit off your game or if you have a close friend or family member (aside from a partner) to confide in during the early stages of your pregnancy and that is absolutely ok.
- After a loss or fertility struggles: If you are announcing your pregnancy after a loss or a journey with fertility struggles consider whether or not you want to share this as well. There is no right or wrong, but I think it is important to consider your choice. We decided that sharing about our miscarriage was the right thing for us to do.
- You don't have to share anything on social media: Even though it's become the norm to share pregnancy news on social media, remember that there are no rules. If you decide you aren't comfortable with it, then there is no reason you need to make any online announcements.
I hope these tips for a mindful pregnancy announcement were helpful – I know I wish I'd had them. I can't wait to share more of my pregnancy with you here and over on Instagram. I'll be keeping my focus on mindfulness, sustainability, minimalism and plan to share my lists of minimal, eco-friendly essentials for each trimester, minimal, eco-friendly essentials for baby, baby capsule wardrobes, traveling with a baby and my insights into the world of conscious parenting.
Big love,
Thank you to Bird & Kite for the beautiful, eco-friendly dress I'm wearing in this post.

New launch Liberty SIM package comes without Virgin mobile phone
Virgin have decided to dump the offer of a mobile phone with the new Liberty SIM contract, this basically means they will be cutting out the mobile phone from their mobile contracts with the new launch of the Liberty SIM package.
To break this down in simple terms what they are basically doing is the new package will come without a mobile phone because this will allow customers to keep a hold of their current mobile handsets and choose the operator's £15 SIM only tariff.
These £15 SIM only tariff features 150 minutes and 1000 texts or 300 minutes and 300 texts, the Liberty SIM however comes with a 30 days notice period which is so much better than the long winded 18 month contract.
The Liberty SIM package is now available right here

Fresh herbs are great. When all you have are a few back-of-fridge ingredients, herbs are the stuff to reach for. Finely chop and sprinkle them on a hot bowl of yesterday's rice, chop them up with oil and drizzle over fried eggs or bash them into a pesto and spread over hot toast. These are delicious meals at little cost.
Herbs, especially the fresh soft ones, like parsley, basil and coriander, are especially useful. I've found their stalks are as packed with potent flavour and freshness, and can be chopped up to revive a tired meal, just as well as their leaves or fronds. Pick out their tougher stems and save those for the cooking pot (you can also freeze them), then pound or chop the rest – leaves, stalks and all.
My fave, Nigel Slater, uses the same trick. When I was still in London a few months ago, I cooked a warm, spicy daal from his book, A year of good eating, and finished it with a good old spoonful of his fresh coriander paste.
This is what he has to say about it:
"I make a coriander paste, fresh, lively and green as a spring lawn, by processing the leaves and thinnest stems with toasted cashews, basil stems and leaves and a generous splash of lime juice. The brilliant jade paste will keep for a day or two in the fridge, its surface covered with a film of olive or groundnut oil, but is brighter tasting when used as soon as it is made."
And bright it is. For all their invigorating power, use herbs in their entirety, and never waste them. In Italy, herbs and their stalks are used all over the place. Like, penne alle aromi – a fragrant bowlful of pasta that I've eaten a lot of in the past month. It's basically pasta tossed with plenty of finely chopped soft herbs, good olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Sometimes toasted pine nuts or flaked almonds, chopped sundried tomatoes or olives find their way in, but often it's minimal, simple and good. The delicate stalks of whatever herbs you use do well here. Pesto too, of course.
And then there's salsa verde. Piemonte, in the North of Italy and where I recently spent a month, likes to claim salsa verde as its own. Parsley is the backbone of bagnet verd (in dialect), finely chopped together with anchovies, garlic, capers, then muddled up with lemon juice or vinegar and good olive oil to make a loose paste. Here in Piemonte, they add a bit of stale bread and even a boiled potato to thicken it, but I didn't do that and I'm not sure it's necessary. Try it if you like.
There are variations on this recipe all over Italy. Mint and basil, even tarragon and woody herbs, like rosemary, can be used, although parsley almost always features. Sometimes garlic is replaced with shallots, or vinegar for lemon juice, sometimes capers are missed out altogether, and cornichons added in. Anchovies, though, are a must. They add a pungent umami flavour that brings every ingredient together into something quite special. Actually, preserved anchovies pop up a lot in Piemonte. Vitello tonnato with veal and tuna (!) and garlicky bagna cauda are mainstay recipes, which makes sense considering it's a landlocked region. But anyway, anchovies YES.
If there's ever a time to eat salsa verde, it's when you have nothing but a few eggs in the fridge. Salsa verde, in all its briny, pungent, fresh and zingy glory will elevate a simple fried egg to a first-class meal. Anchovies and eggs make a happy marriage, and none more suited than here.
Mix and match whatever herbs you have, but just make sure they are mainly green and soft. Pick out the delicate stalks and finely chop them into the mix too. Tougher stalks can be saved for another day, added to flavour a pot of stock, stuffed into whole chicken or fish as it cooks, or to infuse a bottle of oil. Herbs can stimulate a meal in more ways than one.
When you're done chopping, you should have a nice bright-green paste. Next, add a good swig of extra virgin olive oil. It's up to you how spoonable you like it, so add as much as you like. Drizzle it onto hot, fresh eggs, or keep it in a jar in the fridge, topped up with a layer of oil. Eat it in the days to come, smothered on a sliced ripe tomato or drizzled over ricotta on toast. Bloody heaven.
Salsa verde
a big handful of fresh parsley
1 clove of garlic
2-3 anchovies in oil
optional: 1 tablespoon capers
½ a lemon or red/white wine vinegar
extra virgin olive oil
Remove any tough parsley stalks (save them for flavouring stock another time), then finely chop the leaves and stalks. Peel the garlic, then start chopping it up along with the anchovies and capers, if using. Bring everything to the centre of your board and keep chopping until it's all nicely combined and finely chopped.
Scrape the paste into a bowl, then add a squeeze of lemon juice or a swig of vinegar. Stir in a good pour of oil so it's the consistency you like. Season well with black pepper, then taste and add more lemon or vinegar, if you think it needs it. Serve immediately or top up with more oil, cover and keep in the fridge for a couple of days.
Until next time…
Keep any leftover soft herbs in a glass with a little water in the bottom (like a plant!). Store in or out of the fridge.

Frankfurter rolls, as a member of pigs in a blanket type foods, are very popular in Hungary. Stores supply a wide range of virsli (that's how we call hot dog in Hungarian), you, however, have to choose carefully because you can easily run into products of poor quality.
The original frankfurter (Frankfurter Würstchen in German) is a thin boiled sausage of pure pork in a casing of mutton's intestine. Frankfurters is named for Frankfurt am Main, the city of their origin, where they were sold and eaten at beer gardens. They have Protected Geographical Status in Germany, which means the term can only be used for sausages that are de facto produced in the area of Frankfurt am Main.
Frankfurter rolls are usually made from yeast crescent dough or puff pastry. This time I decided to make my own puff pastry instead of store-bouhgt. It's not difficult at all, the preparation time is a bit long, but most of that time the pastry sits in the fridge chilling, the effective work takes only 20-30 minutes. You need to keep the dough as cold as possible, so you have to work quickly in order to prevent butter from melting.
- 250 g (~9 oz) flour
- 250 g (~9 oz) butter
- 2 pinches of salt
- 100 ml (~1/2 cup) water
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 8 frankfurters
- 1 egg
- 100 g (~3,5 oz) cheese, grated
Combine 50 g/2 oz of flour and 200 g/7 oz of butter, shape into an oblong, wrap and put in the fridge.
Put 200 g/7 oz of flour in a bowl and rub in 50 g/2 oz of butter. Add salt, water and vinegar and knead into a smooth dough. On a floured surface roll out the dough thin, place the butter block in the middle and wrap in the dough. Put it in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Roll out the dough thin, fold the left third to the centre, then fold the right third over that. Rotate the dough 90 degrees. Roll it out. Fold 1/4 of the dough to the middle both on the left and right side, then fold them over each other. Wrap and leave it to rest in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Repeat roll and fold two more times. Chill for 20 minutes before using.
Cut the frankfurters into 48 pieces (first cut a sausage into 3 pieces, then cut those 3 into half lengthwise). Roll out the puff pastry thin, cut into half, then cut into 2×24 strips. Wrap strips of puff pastry around each halved sausage. Place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake them in an oven preheated to 210°C / 410°F for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown.

9 Animal Facts That Will Leave You in Awe of Mother Nature
Don't mess with a gemsbok.
With more than a million species on this incredible planet of ours, there are plenty of creatures in the animal kingdom to learn about, from rare zebra donkeys to bizarre anteater-like pangolins. But even the most ordinary, run-of-the-mill creatures have fascinating backstories that will leave you in total awe of Mother Nature's power. From gentoo penguins to Galapagos sea lions, here's a taste of the wild, wild world out there.
Bengal Tigers (India)
Bengal tigers are mostly found in India, but some smaller populations live in Bangladash and China. Once upon a time, hundreds of thousands of tigers roamed the earth—but over the past century, three entire subspecies have gone extinct, leaving just five remaining. Bengal tigers are currently the most common tiger subspecies in the world with around 2,000 left in the wild. They make up more than half of all wild tigers alive today.
Indian Rhinoceros (India)
Primarily found in northern India and Nepal, Indian rhinoceros have an average life span of 40 years. They may be big and bulky—an Indian rhino can weigh as much as an SUV—but don't underestimate their ability to sprint. Their charges have been clocked at speeds of 30 miles per hour, and they have the ability to jump or change direction as quickly as an Olympic athlete.
Gentoo Penguins (Antarctica)
With their striking red-orange beaks, gentoo penguins typically make their homes within the rock-ridden grounds of Antartica. They're the third-largest penguin species, but they take the gold when it comes to swim speeds among penguins. Able to reach speeds of 22 miles per hour, gentoo penguins are said to take up to as many as 450 ocean dives in one day—and that's just for food. Sounds like they should've called that classic board game Hungry Hungry Penguins!
Gemsbok (Namibia)
Gemsbok, sometimes referred to as oryx, are antelopes found primarily in the Nambian desert. While these animals are certainly picturesque with their strong stature, they're not to be messed with. Their horns are essentially spears that can reach up to 30 inches long. Male gemsbok have been known to kill lions by impaling them, thus begging the question: If gemsbok lived in the jungle, who would really be the king?
Galapagos Sea Lions (Ecuador)
Galapagos sea lions are one of two types of seals found around the Galapagos Islands (the other being fur seals). These sea lions are known for having a huge degree of sexual dimorphism compared to other animals. Males can weigh more than four times the weight of their female partners and even have a prominent bump on their forehead that females lack, making it far easier to distinguish their gender compared to most wild animals.
Vicunas (The Andes, South America)
The vicuna is a member of the camel family typically found in the Andes of South America. Along with the closely related alpacas and llamas, vicunas are renowned for their soft and luxurious coat. Vicuna wool is among the most expensive fabrics in the world—and one of the rarest, too, since the vicuna can only be shorn every three years.
Andean Flamingos (The Andes, South America)
Andean flamingos are one of three flamingo species native to the Andes; they're distinguished by their unique, natural yellow legs and three-toed feet. However, as with most flamingos, their pink coloring isn't that way from day one. Flamingos are born entirely white, but turn various shades of pink as they mature due to the high beta carotene levels in their diet.
Kudus (South Africa)
Like their antelope relative, the gembok, South African kudus are known for their massive horns. However, these horns come with unique twists—that only get more twisty with age! They grow as the kudus mature, typically getting the first twist around the age of two. A fully mature kudu, however, typically has two-and-a-half twists in each horn. Kudus have been hunted for centuries because of their unique appendages. Back in the 1800s, kudu horns were typically used for music.
Arabian Camels (Jordan)
Camels are one of the oldest domesticated animals in Jordan, and have been used as transportation in the desert for thousands of years. Unlike Asian camels, Arabian camels only have one hump. But that's all the animal needs. In that singular hump, Arabian camels can store up to 80 pounds of fat—which can be broken down into water and energy when needed. Because of this insane storage capacity, camels can travel up to 100 miles in the desert with water.

The first phase of renovation works at Nosy Be's Fascene Airport, a leading tourist destination on the island of Madagascar, has been completed. While it is still subject to regulatory approvals, the airport, in addition to its newly lengthened runway, can now accommodate large aircraft such as the A340 or B777. A second phase of work in the long term should see it capable of handling the A380, authorities claim.

Several years ago, as a dispatcher on Phoenix's west side, my telephone rang. An off-duty Phoenix officer was behind a stolen vehicle. He had tried to clear over his portable radio, but, as was common with the old 450s, I wasn't able to hear him, his transmission lost somewhere in the land of missing radio communications. I copied the information and repeated it over my frequency. I continued to relay for several minutes, but then things got complicated. The vehicle would soon cross Camelback Road. We were going into another city, Glendale. This posed a problem because Phoenix officers were unable to talk to Glendale officers. I had to put my officer on hold and call Glendale dispatch. Then, the Glendale dispatcher took the information I gave her over the phone and relayed it to her officers over the radio. So, I was talking to a Phoenix officer on the phone, giving his information to Phoenix officers over the radio, as well as giving the information to a Glendale dispatcher over another phone line, who was in turn repeating the information to Glendale officers over their radio (take a breath). Unfortunately, this scenario is not uncommon. And, it can get much more tragic.
In 1995, in the aftermath of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, firefighters believed a second bomb existed. Fire dispatchers communicated this, as well as instructions to evacuate, over the fire radio. But these instructions did nothing to warn the police officers inside the building who were using another frequency. Runners were used to communicate between agencies. Runners were also used after the 1999 Columbine school shooting where 46 agencies with predominately incompatible radio systems assisted. And, in an especially tragic example of how deadly radio incompatibility can be, the Honorable Deborah J. Daniels, Assistant Attorney General, stated in 2003, One tragic example is the September 11th terrorist attack in New York City. While police and firefighters rushed up the stairs of the burning World Trade Center buildings, incident commanders outside could hear helicopter radio reports that the towers were dangerously close to collapse.
They were able to warn their police officers via radio to vacate the buildings immediately. As a result, all but 60 officers escaped with their lives. Tragically, hundreds of New York firefighters couldn't hear that warning because they were using a different radio communications system. 343 firefighters died in the World Trade Center terrorist attack that terrible day.
Although much has changed in the way law enforcement does business post-9-11, some things remain the same. After Hurricane Katrina ripped through the Gulf Coast in 2005, Osceola (MI) Undersheriff Dave Fowler, one of numerous officers who assisted, stated the greatest law enforcement need after a disaster is communications. "Even the 9-11 Commission listed inoperable communication as one of the major downfalls of multiple agencies working together. We saw it [in New Orleans]. The enormity of Katrina really emphasized it and brought it home. Inoperable communications would be the number one problem facing officers." So, the problems facing emergency responders in 1995 still faced them in 1999, then in 2001, and again in 2005. How many times can the tragedy of radio inoperability prove itself before things change? As dispatchers, how long will we be expected to relay information in antiquated ways while praying we get the information out to everyone who needs it before someone gets hurt? Fortunately, it appears agencies are beginning to do something about radio incompatibility issues.
In 2004, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) established the Office of Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC) to oversee public safety interoperability programs. These programs address issues such as communications, equipment, and training. Like many issues affecting a diverse public safety workforce, a common definition didn't exist. Due to this, SAFECOM, the communications program of OIC, defined communications interoperability as "the ability of emergency response agencies to talk across disciplines and jurisdictions via radio communications systems, to exchange voice and data with one another on demand, in real time, when needed, as authorized" (take another breath). What this means, in essence, is we can talk through the equipment we're trained on to other emergency personnel, regardless of the patch sewn onto our (or their) uniforms. But, how?
At this point, I could launch into a long explanation of techno-gibberish describing DHS's OIC SAFECOM Interoperability Continuum regulating NIMS SOPs. I could throw out terms such as packet data protocols, Project 25 (P25) standard digital systems, voice over IP (VoIP), land mobile radio (LMR), and legacy VHS, UHF, and 800-MHz systems on different spectrum bands. But, quite honestly, as fascinating as the radio interoperability world is, most dispatchers' eyes start to gloss over after about ten minutes. What's important about all the changes initiated by DHS is they seem to be filtering down to public safety agencies. And, DHS is backing these changes with federal funding. Since 2001, DHS has provided more than $2 billion in grants for interoperable communications. Along with the money, DHS created guidelines assisting agencies in designing systems. By outlining recommendations and requirements, small agencies, where the officer with the most computer know-how also serves as the radio interoperability coordinator, can be in line with large municipal agencies with numerous technological gurus on staff. SAFECOM's FY2007 Grant Guidance states, "It has become increasingly clear to the emergency response community that communications interoperability cannot be solved by any one organization. The solution requires a partnership among emergency response organizations across all levels of government." Interoperability must address the needs of everyone. This includes Marjorie Chandonais, chief of police and the only police officer for the village of Lake Linden (MI), who relies on the radio to get her backup from a neighboring jurisdiction. Without radio interoperability, she would be unable to call for help at all. Fortunately for her, Michigan is one of about ten states which have built statewide radio systems.
Improvements are being made across the country, but slowly. A 2006 DHS survey of 22,400 law enforcement, fire response, and EMS agencies found "approximately two-thirds of agencies reporting use interoperability to some degree." For those agencies still struggling to meet interoperability guidelines, several obstacles have been noted, such as inadequate training and planning, lack of cooperation, and incomplete standards as well as lack of funds. Agencies must be willing to plan for and practice cross-jurisdictional incidents. Dispatchers, as well as first responders, must be familiar with how their equipment works, whether it is a multi-agency channel, a gateway patch, or another type of network system. Employees must be trained on how to communicate when working with other agencies, including discouraging incompatible intra-agency radio codes. Federal and state governments must be willing to make interoperability a high priority and back that with funding. First responders must demand radio systems which work and are appropriate for the types of situations which occur. With these standards in place, the next time a Phoenix officer clears on his radio, "825L to radio, I'm initiating a felony-stop just north of Camelback," the response he'll hear will be, "Glendale D25, I'll be your cover car."

Scott Davis - 07/03/2007
This morning, while at work, I noticed that I didn't see blurred anymore. It must have been a while ago when at the online Bible study, Brother David had prayed for another brother to have his eyes healed and while he prayed, I also believed for my own healing.
I do have glasses but have not been wearing them. To be honest, I don't even know what I did with them. I was tempted several times to find them to put them on since I must do a lot of charting at work. But I resisted this thought and forgot about it and then noticed this morning I see clearly without any blur in my vision.
Praise the Lord!

The U.S. Department of State has provided $350 million in migration and refugee assistance (MRA) funding for the international COVID-19 response in countries around the world since the onset of the pandemic.
U.S. funding provides protection and addresses increased vulnerability created by the pandemic for refugees, migrants and host communities through international organization partners, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and nongovernmental organization partners.
The programs strengthen "local health responses and provision of emergency relief items to vulnerable families," according to the State Department.
Around the world, refugee coordinators and staff members work in the field to help ensure U.S. assistance is reaching refugees and migrants most in need, so that these vulnerable people can receive health services during the pandemic.
More than $2.1 million of the MRA funding has gone to Mexico to help refugees, asylum-seekers, vulnerable migrants and host communities mitigate the pandemic. From U.S.-Mexico border towns to Mexico City, U.S. refugee coordinators make sure funding and supplies are distributed to the refugees and migrants most in need.
As COVID-19 spread in Mexico, "we've really worked assiduously to mitigate the risk of infection in shelters and among migrants and asylum-seekers," said Clayton Alderman, a refugee coordinator at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City.
Assisted by the State Department's MRA funding, UNHCR since late March has distributed the following items in migrant and refugee shelters across Mexico:
- 34,900 masks.
- 8,010 pairs of surgical gloves.
- 1,480 medical gowns.
- 3,930 surgical caps.
UNHCR also reserved 1,119 rooms throughout the country to isolate any high-risk or infected migrants and refugees, keeping them and host communities safe from further spread of the virus.
IOM established two quarantine locations for those in need of shelter in U.S.-Mexico border towns Ciudad Juárez and Tijuana. There, migrants and asylum-seekers can quarantine for 14 days before transferring to established shelters.
Since the onset of the pandemic, existing shelters have been reluctant to admit new arrivals for fear of introducing infection. Transitional quarantine facilities provide migrants and asylum-seekers safe accommodations and mitigate the spread of infection in existing shelters.
Since its start of operations in May, the Ciudad Juárez hotel has housed 290 people, and the Tijuana hotel, which opened in late June, has housed 121.
Implementing partners help migrants in ways that extend beyond physical aid. For example, Dr. Rosemary Vieras was able to find employment in Mexico City through the State Department's contacts with UNHCR after she fled Venezuela with her 4-year-old child in December 2019.
"I was so happy because I was enjoying my freedom, which was the only thing I had at the moment," she said through an interpreter. "Since then, opportunities have been very good to me."
Dr. Vieras, a general practitioner, needed not only to recertify her medical license but also to acquire a professional license to work in Mexico and an additional medical certification to work as a doctor.
She applied for her license and certification, but as COVID-19 affected life across Mexico, government offices closed.
She reached out to UNHCR, which quickly helped her to expedite her certifications and get a job to support herself and her child.
Now, Dr. Vieras works on the front lines, saving lives, at a general hospital treating only patients with COVID-19. Her work, like the broader U.S.-funded COVID response, directly serves her patients battling the disease and contributes to the efforts of containing the infection globally.
"I am here as the voice of many refugees that face the same situations," she said. "Opportunities here are good for people like me, and thank God for having this type of life that I have now."

SQL Server Management Studio 2008 SSMS : "Saving changes is not permitted" error
Using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) that comes with MS SQL Server 2008 R2 version, I created a few sql tables.
Later I decided to change the nullable properties of some sql table columns.
After I configured the Allow Nulls property of the table columns by clearing or marking the check box, I clicked on the Save button to update my changes to the database schema, I got the following sql exception displayed on the SSMS IDE.
Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropped and re-created. You have either made changes to a table that can't be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created.
Actually this sql warning is a customized IDE property that warns and reminds that the desired schema change requires table drop and re-create.
In order to disable this SQL Server Management Studio warning, SQL Server database administrators and sql developers can follow the below steps:
Using the SSMS top menu, open Tools menu and select Options sub-menu item. (Tools > Options)
On the Options screen, click on the Designers node on the left treeview structure.
You can see the option Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation which is checked and activated by default.
Please uncheck and clear this option.
After this SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) Designers option configuration, sql developers and SQL DBA 's can alter table structures more easily without facing Saving changes is not permitted. error message.

Team Equilibrio just got back from a Spinning Babies seminar! Here we are with Gail Tully and the other Baby Spinners who drove up from San Diego. :) (that's Nicole in the front with Gail, and Allison and Marissa on the far right in the back).
What on earth is Spinning Babies?Spinning Babies was developed by midwife Gail Tully as a series of techniques for balancing the pelvis throughout pregnancy and finding optimal fetal positioning during childbirth. Because guess what? Fetal position matters and Mama's body and position can influence it. In fact, baby's position is not arbitrary. Babies get into the best position they can based on the space that is available to them. (more on how mama's alignment affects baby's alignment at nutritiousmovement.com)
Gail's work is part of a movement that is starting to shift the paradigm -- concerned much, much less with what's happening at the cervix (how many cm dilated are you?) and more concerned with baby's position.
The first principle of Spinning Babies is finding balance and symmetry in your body during pregnancy. Tension and misalignments in muscles, fascia and ligaments can place movement restrictions on the baby preventing her from getting into an ideal position -- this can delay the start of labor, slow down the progress of labor and cause less than optimal positioning (OP baby, even breech). The next principles are the use of gravity and movement in Mama's positioning to help the baby rotate and descend.
We are so excited to weave "spinning babies" into our work with our mamas!

Soft Lambskin with Gradient
A lambskin in the house provides a cosy atmosphere and also sets natural accents in every living room. The Tibetan sheepskin rug of Bloomingville is particularly fluffy and especially beautiful by its gentle gradient.
Placed in front of the bed, the skin rug provides for a warm, soft feel directly after getting out of bed. And also as a throw on the sofa the cuddly accessory looks very inviting, promising comforting, relaxing hours when watching a movie or having a glass of wine. On top of that the lambskin also allows to visually enhance plastic chairs, also giving it a higher comfort. When used as decoration you can spread a Nordic flair in the apartment, which looks like a lonely wooden hut in the Scandinavian-style.

It's so true what they say about second children. They don't get as much attention as the first one…for obvious reasons. I hate to say it, but it's happened in our home with my little boy. He's barely gotten any new clothes because I've used a lot hand-me-downs. In terms of toys, besides the handful of cars and trucks he's received as gifts, he's inherited all of his sister's baby toys.
So when Fisher Price came asking if we were interested in doing a review of their Laugh and Learn "Learning Kitchen" I gladly accepted for three reasons. First, I'm a loyal Fisher Price customer. My sister gave my daughter, Vanessa, a Laugh and Learn "Learning Home" three years ago when she turned one, and she is still playing with it (and so is her little brother, of course)! I honestly love their products not only now that I'm a mom, but when I was a child back in Peru, too. I have many a great memory of playing with my Fisher Price house and airplane back when the little dolls were like cylinders without arms. ¿Se acuerdan?
Second, I'm absolutely thrilled that more and more Fisher Price is incorporating Spanish into their toys. The Learning Kitchen is no exception. It has a Spanish mode and children get the same key words they hear in English in Spanish. It even has a song in Spanish! Funny thing is that the recommended ages are from 6 months to 36 months and, as soon as we opened it, my 4-year-old couldn't hide her excitement—especially when she heard it spoke Spanish. "Español!" she belted out immediately. I truly think that hearing these type of toys "speak" Spanish does a lot to validate the language in the eyes of our children. Not to mention that it's a great way to introduce simple vocabulary to those children just getting their initial exposure to Spanish.
Finally, I accepted because I thought it'd be nice for my little boy, Santiago, to have a toy all of his own. So, thanks Fisher Price!

When your kids grow up and look back on their lives, what do you think they'll remember fondly? What memories can you give them to last them a lifetime?
1. Stories
By making books and stories an integral part of your children's lives, you will be providing them with numerous benefits. Being interested and immersed in stories from a young age helps to boost their curiosity and intelligence. It's a safe way to explore the world and learn empathy. It also helps in terms of academic success, in that it increases vocabulary, and enhances their ability to read and write.
Reading to your child also reinforces the bond you share. This is a special time and something you can both look forward to. It promotes a sense of security and happiness.
2. Pets
Pets are great for kids in so many ways. From a physical perspective, they can help boost the immune system. Studies show that children who are exposed to pets from a young age are less likely to develop allergies and conditions like asthma. They also help them in terms of increasing confidence, learning about responsibility, and developing empathy for another living creature. And perhaps most importantly of all, pets like dogs are great fun. They are constant companions and will love the attention your kids give them.
3. Camping
Camping is one of the best adventures you can offer your children. And the great thing is that it isn't expensive. Once you've purchased your camping equipment, it can be used over and over again. Campsites are cheap when compared with other forms of accommodation like hotels and B&Bs.
If you have a dog, they can come too and will love you for including them. All they will need is their usual food, bowls, lead, and their bed. Pillow beds are great for this as they offer maximum comfort and are easy to transport. Camping is an activity for the whole family to enjoy. Make sure you book a dog-friendly campsite.
For children, camping is an adventure. They get to sleep outside, albeit in a tent, cook over a campfire or portable stove and tell each other ghost stories.
4. Movie Nights And Family Days
As kids get older, they spend less and less time with their parents and more time with friends. This is completely natural and all part of them becoming independent. However, it's still important to spend time together as a family. This could be during mealtimes, one evening a week, or scheduled family days. The simple act of choosing a film together, and sitting down and watching it, will help you reinforce your bond. And implementing a rule of no phones during meals will ensure everyone is fully engaged and focused on each other at least once a day.
5. Time
The best thing you can give to your kids is time. They'll recognise when they have your attention, and this is the thing that they will take with them into adulthood. It won't be the toys they received or expensive holidays. It will be the time you spent together as a family. This is what will make them happy and will support their development.
