Autism is one of a group of neurodevelopmental disorders known as pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs). These are characterized by problems with communication and social interaction. Patients often demonstrate restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped behavior patterns or interests.
Signs and Symptoms
According to the Autism Society, autism symptoms typically become clearly evident during early childhood, between 24 months and 6 years of age. Symptoms include a marked delay in language and cognitive development. There may be signs of obsessive and/or antisocial behavior.
Asperger syndrome, another PDD, may be referred to as "high functioning autism." Asperger syndrome usually lacks the primary communication and cognitive problems that characterize classic autism.
Autism symptoms can range from mild to severe. Some people may be considered autistic but manage to function in society without many setbacks. For others, the condition can have a substantial impact on their lives.
Causes of Autism
The exact cause of autism and other autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is unknown. The most current science demonstrates that there is no single cause of autism. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, it's likely that both genetics and environment play a role.
Prevalence of Autism
Autism spectrum disorders are found in individuals around the world, regardless of race, cultural, or economic background. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), autism does occur more often in boys than in girls, with a five-to-one male-to-female ratio.
The CDC estimates that one in 68 children have been identified with autism spectrum disorder. There are indications that instances of ASDs are on the rise. Some fault environmental factors. However, experts debate whether there is an actual increase in cases or just more frequent diagnoses.
Types of Autism Spectrum Disorders
Classic autism usually entails substantial problems in all of the areas affected by ASDs. Someone with Asperger syndrome has issues with behavioral and social interaction. The symptoms experienced by people with Asperger syndrome are usually less severe than those experienced by patients with classic autism.
There is still some debate as to whether Asperger syndrome is a variation of classic autism. Some argue that it should be classified as a separate disorder.
Pervasive Development Disorder–Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) is a classification for someone who exhibits signs of autism but does not fit into the categories of classic autism or Asperger.
Treatments and Outlook
There is no cure for ASDs. The most effective treatments involve early and intensive behavioral interventions. It is generally agreed that the earlier a child is enrolled in these programs, the better their outlook will be.
Since conventional medicine has not found a cure for ASDs, patients and their advocates have sought alternatives, including:
- high dose vitamins
- chelation therapy
- hyperbaric oxygen
There is currently no evidence that these treatments are effective. Parents should weigh the research and financial costs before investing in any of these therapies for their children.

Last May, in China, WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy remarked: "The global economy is being transformed at an unprecedented speed and at the heart of that transformation is the services economy. (…) Services underpin every part of the production process, from research and development to design, engineering, financing, transportation, distribution and marketing. In short, without services, there would be little value-added and innovation."
This week's Economic Premise – "Service with a Smile" by Ejaz Ghani, Arti Grover Goswami, and Homi Kharas – gives us a snapshot of that revolution in its course. The authors reckon that in the last 30 years the contribution of services to GDP growth has been higher than industry's in both developed and developing countries. On the jobs front, the net creation in services has compensated the destruction in both industry and agriculture (see chart).
Sources of Job Creation in Developed and Developing countries
Source: Ghani et al
It is known that, after some income levels, services (tourism, health, education, and leisure-related activities) tend to rise as a proportion of households' consumption baskets. Furthermore, on the production side, in the wake of the wave of restructuring, downsizing and all that corporate jazz of the eighties, sources of enhancing competitiveness have been found in divesting and contracting-out the provision of business, logistic and professional services once internalized by industrial firms. However, the deep transformation that new technologies of information and telecommunications have been bringing to a substantial range of services is yet to be widely realized.
As Ghani et al. note, until recently "services were considered as menial, low-skilled, and low-innovation", whereas now "the number of services that can be transported digitally is constantly expanding." Modern services constitute sophisticated key components of value chains in agriculture and industry. They can also themselves be unbundled and broken down into value chains just like physical goods. In this context, the authors show that productivity – value-added per employee – growth in services has substantially outpaced that in industry, again in both developed and developing countries.
Trade in services has accompanied the rising tide of global trade, going beyond commercial presence and the cross-border movement of service providers and consumers. Remarkable has been the growing cross-border trade, with the delivery of some services from the territory of one country into the territory of other country, something increasingly made possible by rapid global developments in technology, scalability, transportability, and tradability – as we have already approached here.
Like Goswami et al., Ghani et al. make the case about services as a possible new channel for export-led growth by developing countries. Let me here stress the relevance of services modernization even for developing countries that may not envisage becoming services-export platforms. If services are getting bigger as a share of GDPs and jobs, productivity increases in the former are fundamental for income growth and development. Furthermore, without those increases, the competitiveness of non-service activities in agriculture and industry in a country will suffer from rising wage costs and lower-quality inputs. It's therefore paradoxical that some countries have resorted to protection or incentives in favor of manufacturing, while not realizing that such efforts tend to be self-defeating if the domestic supply of services remains closed to provision from abroad or, in the case of non-tradable ones, non-competitive in its local production.
"Globalization of services is still in its infancy", say Ghani et al. Let infant, modern, and revolutionary services alike spill forth their economic rejuvenating potential.

|Arnie Judlow, an inmate at San Quentin prison serving a life sentence for murder, devises a daring plan with his wife and his brother Bill to help him escape, part of which involves Bill and Arnie's wife posing as a married couple and moving to a house near the prison. Although the plan appears to go smoothly at first, it soon runs into a few snags--the couple move next door to a suspicious prison guard who knows Arnie and, more importantly, Bill and his brother's wife begin to find themselves attracted to each other.

I haven't tried for a permanent position or a longer contract but I think it's possible if you have experience. University work tends to be more abundant in the 10 weeks before a new semester starts but can then drop off quite quickly. I'm not sure about the ELICOS centres or the migrant work but I think it's quite healthy.

The other unis also run ELICOS, TAFE does migrant ed, SACE runs international student classes. So there is a market, though they don't advertise much. A direct approach maybe better. As noted, they tend to employ in short term contracts, though it apppears that most get renewed. Migrant Ed classes run for 40 weeks of the year, but you only get vacation pay for 2 or 3, so do the sums!

In D&D 4e, a piece of armor Alchemical Defense Nodes has the following property:
- You can stow up to three consumable alchemical items within this armor.
While you can stow items in it, there is no mention of retrieval, but also no mention of consumption, is the ability to retrieve implied?
I am also interested in the general case.
For reference, here are possibly relevant rules for retrieving/stowing items from Manipulating Objects in the Compendium's Glossary section:
Retrieve or Stow an Item
Action: Minor action.
Easily Accessible: A creature can use this action to retrieve an item from someplace on its own person, most commonly in a belt pouch or a backpack, or to stow an item in such a location.

About the book:
From Sacred Text to Internet addresses two key issues affecting the global spread of religion: first, the impact of new media on the ways in which religious traditions present their messages, and second, the global relocation of religions in novel geographical and social settings. The book offers extended studies of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and a wide-ranging survey chapter that refers to the presence on the Internet of many of the world's most influential religions. The chapters explore the relationship between scholarly reconstructions of the life of Jesus and representations of Jesus in contemporary popular cultures; the production and use of sacred images for the Hindu mass market; how Buddhism is represented and spread in the West; the Islamization of Egypt, its causes and influences; and the uses to which the Internet is put by religions as well as how information technology has influenced the future shape of religion.

Demobilizing Irregular Forces
Demobilizing Irregular Forces
ISBN: 978-0-745-66096-7 April 2013 Polity 208 Pages
Download Product Flyer
Demobilizing Militias is the first comprehensive introduction to DDR in the contemporary world. Examining regions as varied as Africa, Asia and Central America, it guides readers through the different stages of the DDR process as well as assessing competing perspectives surrounding its implementation. Attentive to the problems faced by practitioners, Eric Shibuya argues against a 'one size fits all' approach, emphasizing the importance of social and psychological contexts in fostering the trust that is necessary for DDR to succeed. Accessible and incisive, it will be an ideal resource for students of politics, security and conflict studies, as well as anyone interested in the dynamics of peacebuilding today.

"An excellent primer to DDR, perhaps even the best available."
LSE Review of Books
"This book examines in fascinating detail a neglected aspect of post-conflict peacebuilding: how to disarm, demobilize, and reintegrate armed groups back into civil society. Eric Shibuya makes a valuable contribution to the literature of unconventional conflict that should be the subject of discussion for years to come."
Tom Mockaitis, DePaul University
"Written in a concise, easy-to-understand manner, and illustrated with several disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) case studies that highlight the importance of social/cultural contexts and flexibility at the psychological and operational levels, Demobilizing Irregular Forces will be essential reading for students in graduate and undergraduate courses as well as in professional military schools."
Mohan Malik, Asia-Pacific Centre for Security Studies
"In this excellent study Eric Shibuya reminds us that for effective disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration, and for successful peacekeeping in post-conflict situations, the strategies and processes adopted by interveners must be both active and mutually reinforcing. DDR cannot be successfully undertaken without appreciation of political culture, local fighting traditions, or the identity of militants. Shibuya's findings resonate across the broad Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa, and also in the little-comprehended conflicts of the Pacific Islands; for example, in the Solomon Islands and Bougainville."
David Hegarty, Australian National University
Michael Evans, Australian Defence College
"Shibuya provides a fresh look at the DDR process; emphasising psychological and cultural underpinnings of successful DDR programmes."
Central European Journal of International and Security Studies
- This is a new edition to Polity's bestselling 'War and Conflict in the Modern World' series, which aims to give students accessible overviews of some of the key themes and topics in peace and security studies
- DDR, the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of ex-combatants -is a crucial and topical issue in today's political landscape.
- The book draws on a wide range of case studies to guide readers through the stages of the DDR process.
- Will be of relevance to students taking broad courses in peacebuilding or focusing on more specific conflicts such as those in Afghanistan and Iraq

Big Performance in a Small BOXX
BOXX Technologies is an interesting company that builds a diverse range of desktop and mobile workstations geared for high-performance applications, such as CAD and CAE. This time around, we're putting the GoBOXX G1840 through its paces, a machine the company classifies as a mid-range mobile workstation. Mid-range was fine with us because we hoped it would provide a good balance between performance and price. Ultimately, the GoBOXX G1840 exceeded our expectations for its price/performance ratio.
This machine will appeal to those users who need high levels of performance, as well as mobility. In other words, big performance in a small package at a reasonable price. So, let's see how it fared.
GoBOXX 1840
Specifications and Build Quality
The GoBOXX G1840 we received has the following specifications as supplied:
CPU: Intel Core i7 – 3920XM (2.9GHz); Quad-core
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M
Connectivity: 2 SATAIII ports internal; 1 MSATA port; 1 IEEE 1394 port; 1 eSATA port; 1 USB 2.0 port; 3 USB 3.0 ports; 1 HDMI; 1 external DVI; 1 display port; Ethernet
Other: 8X DVD Multi-drive; 9 in 1 Flash memory reader; 2MB digital video camera; fingerprint reader; Kensington lock port;
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64-bit
Dimensions:16.22" (W) x 10.87" (D) x 1.75" (H)
Weight: 8.60 pounds (with battery)
Warranty: One-year limited
Default resolution of the full-HD glassview LCD that measures a whopping 17.3″ is 1,920 x 1,080. Screen resolution and clarity are excellent and comfortable for a full day of work.
Even when pushing the unit during demanding benchmark testing, it remained relatively cool and the fans ran very quietly with no annoying whine.
I guess the only complaint I would have, and this goes for all mobile workstations, is the physical size and weight of the AC adapter. I know there are physical limitations for power considerations, but with the miniaturization of just about everything else electronic, it amazes me that these things are still the size and weight of house bricks.
Overall, though, the feel and build quality of the GoBOXX G1840 is very solid and substantial. There is no keyboard flex when bearing down on the keys and the backlit keyboard is an excellent ergonomic touch, especially in the low light conditions that I often prefer to work in. A very well thought out and nicely executed quality package.
Measuring Performance
When we received the GoBOXX 1840, we had high expectations for performance, largely because of the high levels of performance we have experienced in the past with other machines from BOXX. The objective (formal documented generic benchmarks) and subjective (actual design and engineering software applications) tests we ran confirmed our expectations and didn't disappoint.
However, keep in mind that the tests were performed with the GoBOXX 1840 "out of the box," as we received it – nothing was tweaked or optimized to distort the performance numbers (such as enabling multi-threading) in a positive or negative direction. I actually get more out of the subjective testing because it's more "real world," but the raw numbers from the benchmarks are also useful as a means of objective comparison with other machines in the class. Your evaluations will probably differ from mine, but they do provide a point for comparison.
For objective testing, we ran two benchmarks NovaBench (geared more toward overall performance) and SPECviewperf 11 (geared more toward graphics performance).
NovaBench Benchmark Test
16281 MB System RAM (Score: 244) – this was better than recent desktop workstations evaluations
- RAM Speed: 15,491 MB/s
CPU Tests (Score: 779) – this was comparable to most recent desktop workstations evaluations
- Floating Point Operations/Second: 205,582,464
- Integer Operations/Second: 882,584,872
- MD5 Hashes Generated/Second: 1,256,129
Graphics Tests (Score: 90) – this was a bit lower than recent desktop evaluations, due to graphics card used
- 3D Frames Per Second: 90
Hardware Tests (Score: 36) – on par with recent desktop evaluations
- Drive Write Speed: 195 MB/s
Total NovaBench Composite Score: 1,149
The 1,149 composite score is impressive because it is within 22% of the score of recent best desktop workstation evaluations.
SPECviewperf 11 Benchmark Test
The scores for the various demanding SPECviewperf 11 suite tests (CATIA, SolidWorks, Lightwave, Ensight, NX, and Pro/ENGINEER) run at 1,280 x 1,024 resolution (without multi-threading enabled) were among the best I have ever seen on a mobile workstation that I have benchmarked and reviewed.
Subjective Test:
For subjective testing, I ran Autodesk Alias Design, Inventor, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and 3ds Max. I used data sets of standard models that I have created over the years for this testing, including a model with 70,000+ parts, renderings of complex surfaces, and animations. The GoBOXX 1840 performed very well and did not seem to grind through any of the subjective tests. I'll be using the GoBOXX 1840 over the course of the next several months for upcoming MCAD, CAE, and visualization evaluations/reviews to get a better sense of how it fares over a longer haul. I'll update as I go because I'm looking forward to a continued good experience with this computer.
Final Thoughts
Although there is certainly a case to be made for stationary desktop workstations, just as strong a case could be made for mobile professionals and mobile workstations. Even though mobile workstations have come a long way in the past few years, there is often still a huge price premium to pay for mobility. However, with the quality and performance of the GoBOXX 1840, I think there is a relatively small price premium here and is definitely worth the price. The GoBOXX 1840 offers desktop-level performance in a portable and well-executed mobile platform.
BOXX Technologies GoBOXX G1840 Mobile Workstation
Pros: Excellent performance; solid build quality with backlit keyboard; connectivity options; configurability.
Cons: None experienced.
Price (As configured for review): $4,669
Final Grade: A+

Family Portrait in Black & White
Olga Nenya has 27 children. Four of them, now adults, are her biological children; the other 23 are adopted or foster children. Of those 23, 16 are biracial.
She calls them "my chocolates," and is raising them to be patriotic Ukrainians. Some residents of Sumy, Ukraine, consider Olga a saint, but many believe she is simply crazy. An inheritance from the Soviet era, a stigma persists here against interracial relationships, and against children born as the result of romantic encounters between Ukrainian girls and exchange students from Africa. For more than a decade, Olga has been picking up the black babies left in Ukrainian orphanages and raising them together so that they may support and protect one another.
The filmmakers interview with Neo-Nazis in Ukraine reveals the real dangers for a dark-skinned individual in the street. These white supremacist youth joke about their evening raids and how police seem to let them do it. Prosecutors are not particularly determined to give strict sentences to racially motivated crimes, and young thugs can get away with probation for beating someone nearly to death.
Olga sends her foster children to stay with host families in France and Italy in the summers and over Christmas, where they are cared for by charitable families who have committed to helping disadvantaged Ukrainian youth since the Chernobyl disaster. Olga's kids now speak different languages, and the older girls chat in fluent Italian with each other even while cooking a vat of borscht. But Olga doesn't believe in international adoption and has refused to sign adoption papers from host families that wanted to adopt her kids.
"At least when the kids grow up, they'll have a mother to blame for all the failures that will happen in their lives," she says.

Honda continues to impress with CRV
By MR Z on Tuesday, August 18, 2015This is our second CRV, previous one was a 2013 EXL on a 3 year lease which was flawless vehicle and not one issue in 2 1/2 yrs of driving. Just traded to the 2015 EX and Honda has made a good thing even better. Superb vehicle in every way, only wish steering wheel was leather like in Accord and auto climate should be standard on EX models, but not a deal breaker. This updated model for 2015 is better, smoother and quieter in every way , Honda will be in our garage for many many years to come.

reliable, good value, rides smooth, quiet for its
By pahonda on Monday, July 10, 2017weakest point is the climate control and the weak a/c. if outside temp is above 80 you have to have the a/c on full blast at coldest temp, and it then at best the temp inside is ok, not cool. I have had dealer check it out at each service and no improvement.

Highly recommend!
By AL on Monday, May 27, 2019This has been the most dependable car I have ever owned. The only thing we have had to replace is the tires. We do not do a lot of city driving, thus we have not even had to replace the brakes. Get decent gas mileage around 28-30 HWY and avg. 24-25. lots of room in the back seat for a small SUV Would have gotten the leather with all the perks if had choice again. would highly recommend.

Religious zealots were behind the controversial film.
California man confirms role in anti-Islam film that sparked deadly...
The search for those behind the provocative, anti-Muslim film implicated in violent protests in Egypt and Libya led Wednesday to a California Coptic Christian convicted of financial crimes who acknowledged his role in managing and providing logistics for the production.
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula says he was manager for the company that produced 'Innocence of Muslims,' which mocked Muslims and the prophet Muhammad.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups, said Klein is a former Marine and longtime religious-right activist who has helped train paramilitary militias at a California church. It described Klein as founder of Courageous Christians United, which conducts protests outside abortion clinics, Mormon temples and mosques.

I didn't know that there was a religious zealot behind the film - good to know.
It could be kind of 21st century crusades! Still fundamentalists are fighting over their religious dogmas.
Yes, Sayed, we see fundamentalists fighting over their dogmas. What an example of religion as a destabilizing force, each of them claiming to be all about peace of course.
By the end of the day on September 12, the AP discovered that the person behind the film was an Egyptian Coptic Christian by the name of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.
... it became clear that the origins of the film lie in an alliance between members of the Egyptian Coptic Christian community, right-wing Christians and the well-funded network of Islamophobes in the U.S.
... a small number of Coptic Christians, by no means representative of the full Coptic community, have made alliances with right-wing evangelical Christians and virulent Islamophobes in the U.S. This alliance is behind the film...
A California-based newspaper reported September 12 that an organization called Media for Christ produced the Innocence of Muslims film. The head of that organization is Joseph Nasralla Abdelmasih, an anti-Muslim Coptic Christian from Egypt. Abdelmasih is an ally of Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, two leading Islamophobes in the U.S....
Morris Sadek is another U.S.-based Coptic Christian activist who helped promote Media for Christ's film.
Yet another Christian right activist involved with the film is Steve Klein. Klein is a right-wing extremist allied with Sadek's National American Coptic Assembly.
The alliance of Egyptian Christians, right-wing American Christians and anti-Muslim activists have now sowed the seeds of more chaos in the Middle East. This is exactly what they wanted. "We went into this knowing this was probably going to happen," Klein told the Associated Press.
They hope that by destabilizing Egypt, Muslims will come off as crazy, violent people, and that U.S. relations with a government seen as hostile to Israel will be strained. Their mirror image—radical, right-wing Islamists in the Middle East--continues to stoke anti-American rage across the Middle East...
And so both sides get what they want: a "clash of civilizations"-esque confrontation between the radicals on both sides of the "East-West" divide. [emphasis mine]
Inside the Islamophobic-Religious Right Alliance Whose Film Sparked...
Honestly, I'm not surprised.
Go insult something islamic and watch the fur fly, the fatwas get issued, the religiously righteous shout and beat their chests ... and watch people die. It already has been alleged that the violence surrounding the film Innocence of Muslims may have been used as a cover for those who attacked the US embassy in Libya and killed Ambassador Chris Stevens. Rather an interesting fillip, considering that said film was made by an American.
So when will the flip-side occur? When will some islamic filmmaker attempt to create something so obscene and over-the-top that it inspires hard-core christians to take action against muslims and further justify their jihad against the people of "The Great Satan"?!?
To Both Sides: don't look now, but You're Being PLAYED!!! Maybe you haven't noticed, but there are those out there who want you showing the absolute worst of your religion, so that they can justify their own agendas. Do you like this? Do you like being used as pawns in a game you're not even aware of? Do you even CARE???
Hell, are you even listening? Honestly, I'm dubious.
Great summary of religion, Sayed!
From Atheist Meme Base:
The various holy scriptures tend to include both statements like "1+1=2!" and ones like "2+2=3!" Perhaps we should also add "3+3=3!" (true with the factorial).
It's analogous to the list of "commandments" from "Kissing Hank's Ass", which includes
2. Use alcohol in moderation.
6. The moon is made of green cheese.
7. Everything Hank says is right.
8. Wash your hands after going to the bathroom.
9. Don't use alcohol.
10. Eat your wieners on buns, no condiments.
Mark Basseley Youssef, the filmmaker who wrote and produced the anti-Islam movie Innocence of Muslims that has been tied to the U.S. missionary attacks in Benghazi, was sentenced to one year in federal prison yesterday for violating several of his probation orders. Back in June 2011, Nakoula was released on probation after serving a 21-month sentence in federal prison on charges of bank fraud and he began working on the film, but in the recent wake of its controversy, Nakoula was arrested again in September on charges of using false names, using the Internet without prior approval and obtaining a fraudulent driver's license, all of which were in direct violation of his probation conditions.
from Cheezburger
One year in prison! It could be due to the pressure of Muslims' undemocratic protests.

TPG has bundled cloud-based video surveillance with broadband in a new double play aimed at small and medium-sized businesses.
The telco's $49.99 monthly bundle includes unlimited ADSL2+ and cloud-based video surveillance. The CCTV footage broadcasts into the cloud and users can view live video or recorded footage from the last 48 hours. Customers can also download recordings from the cloud to their computer.
Customers must separately buy a surveillance camera from TPG for $139.99. The camera installs into existing Ethernet or Wi-Fi networks without requiring any changes to router or firewall settings, TPG said.
"The surveillance camera pushes a live video feed into the cloud via a secure channel, enabling storage and YouTube-like viewing experience of live and past events which customers can access from virtually anywhere in the world with an Internet connection," said TPG consumer general manager, Craig Levy.
"Most other video surveillance solutions record and store the videos locally on the customers' premises before they are uploaded intermittently to the Internet, typically via FTP," he said. "In order to view live streaming, customers have to access the camera remotely, opening a security hole in the customers' network which can be vulnerable to attacks."
Levy said it was initially difficult to get good video over ADSL. "The biggest challenge we faced is that a typical ADSL connection has a relatively slow upload speed which makes it difficult to haul decent real time video into the cloud," he said. "We have managed to achieve impressive video quality in full screen using only 256 Kbps of upload bandwidth."

If you've ever watched HGTV, you've most likely heard one design expert or another proclaim that, "the outdoor room is just as important as the ones inside." Many homeowners would agree with this statement as investments in outdoor areas become more and more popular. And WarmlyYours understands their customers' needs and is always well-aware of the trends happening in home design so that we can offer a WarmlyYours heating solution to your project.
If you're interested in revamping that outdoor living space then read on before running off to Home Depot. You'll need to think about what's going to go under your feet before you get too excited over the monster-sized built-in grill, roaring fire pit, or serene koi-filled pond you're envisioning. And WarmlyYours might have a few ideas to help.
It seems that along with this renewed concentration on the outdoor living space, more homeowners are opting out of building decks and instead choosing patios for their durability and flexibility in design selections. A recent article, Homeowners Ditching Decks in Favor of Patios, by Angie Hicks, features experts in the outdoor design industries who see numerous homeowners focused on creating a customized patio that incorporates the feeling of a personal sanctuary, as well as, a luxurious entertaining space.
While that sounds like a lovely idea during the summer, as we all know, the coolness of night will eventually creep in with the frigid climate and snowy winters. And without a significant outside heat source, all of that invested time and money is wasted as you sit inside yearning to reclaim the enjoyment and charm of your outdoor room.
Why not enjoy the benefits of a radiant lifestyle outdoors the way that you would indoors- anytime of the year? Well, now is the time to extend the life of your outdoor season with a snow-free, warm patio. Whether you're laying down concrete or pavers, WarmlyYours snow melting and slab heating cables or mats, can easily be installed right underneath. And you don't want to wait too long before installing a snow melt or heating system under concrete because, ideally, the temperature of new concrete should be between 50-90 degrees F during placement. Let the experts at WarmlyYours create a custom outdoor radiant heating solution for you right now!
If you don't want to have to worry about ideal concrete temperatures, then you can always install a snow melting or slab heating system directly in the mortar under pavers. The article actually recommends using pavers as opposed to concrete because they require less maintenance and are available in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes.
So since you have the flooring and WarmlyYours radiant heating system picked out, you can forget the unnecessary fire pit and concentrate on that behemoth outdoor grill and beautiful water feature. To find out more about our Snow Melt Systems, go to www.warmlyyours.com/snow-melting/ or give us a call at (800) 875-5285.

CHFcc necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 45 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
The King
I am an investor and internet marketer and content creator. I have a design background but my graphic arts abilities get as far as just being a quick sketch or what is floating in my head. Because of this, I don't want to be the bottleneck in this exercise, I thought it would be more effective to outsource my idea, so it gets done right. My content tends to be irreverent and humor based. The idea of something strangely out of place, against the norm or celebrating the underdog. I plan to use the logo to promote an unrevealed website, and include it in documentation that will be downloaded. I like classy, sharp design with a spin; a bit of attitude, juxtaposition of interesting ideas etc.
Target Audience: Those shopping for web hosting/domain hosting. Entrepreneurs who are not experienced and are looking for someone with some authority to assist them, who has their best interest at heart, and will give them the straight facts; the goods, but with some humor and some attitude.
Target Ages: 20-45 year olds.
Target Attitude: tired of following the snake oil salesman, who promise them everything and give them nothing. Those that are looking for substance, and are tired of going to websites that are a compilation of tired, useless information that doesn't really answer their questions.
I am looking for one (1) logo that is comprised of: a) graphic illustration and b) text;
a) Illustration Details:
- a 30-35 year old man
- Wearing a crown (something like what the king wore in those old Walt Disney Robin Hood cartoons....)
- Wearing a King cape with the fur lining
- cape blowing in the wind
- Wearing a cheesy 1970's style tuxedo (bow-tie, maybe baby blue, or royal purple??) under the cape
- arms crossed to show attitude, smirk on his face
- one foot on a computer monitor
- maybe running shoes to show rags to riches
- maybe leaning up against the text ("The King")
- Prefer the illustration on the left of the text, but open to ideas
b) the Text:
- Bulky, fat Font
- only the following text: "The King"
- maybe check out the font for the recent animated comedy called "Despicable Me", the title is almost balloon-like
- some shadows, to show 3D
These are mostly guidelines. I am open to ideas though! I look forward to seeing your designs. And I thank you in advance.

However, although this meaning is known in Old Irish, there is good reason to believe that ó here is a hill-name element, simply meaning 'lump'. It is rare, but is found in Gleann Ó (Glenoe, Co. Antrim [DUPN]) and in Mullach an Ó (East Mayo). For the English name Sugarloaf, For origin of name, see Sugarloaf Hill in the Knockmealdowns. Great Sugar Loaf is the 566th highest place in Ireland.

Conical and pointed, it is the volcano that never was. (Many people believe it is an extinct volcano but it is in fact Cambrian quartzite) But what is important is the fantastic shaped hill that is present now. It appears as a smaller version of Croagh Patrick. Despite its rock-strewn steep upper slopes, the hill is easily climbed. (Although the final 30 metres ascent require care). The relatively easy ascent, combined with its close proximity to Dublin, means that the Great Sugar Loaf is climbed by thousands of people a year. It is surely one of the most famous hills in Ireland, and it even featured in the opening credits of TV soap Glenroe back in the day! The Sugar Loaf commands fine views, especially across the coast and even the mountains of Wales are easily visible to the naked eye on a clear day. A car park at 235 119 A will knock a couple of hundred metres off the ascent. A clear track leads up grassy slopes before contouring around the hill as it rises into the rocky upper slopes. The final rocky scramble might require steadying hands as you haul up a short steep gully. Car park to summit can be walked in about 45 mins on average.Another route, with less usage, more climbing and more rugged quartzite slopes, starts from the small car park O2436 1410 B beside the Fitzsimons Park GAA ground which can be reached from Kilmacanogue and the N11.You will probably meet dozens of folk out walking who haven't climbed other hills, but for whom the Great Sugar Loaf is a must.

Snowdon View. by simon3 28 Dec 2017 Occasionally, through the murky misty air above the Irish Sea there emerges a view of Wales in higher parts of Wicklow or the Dublin Mountains. And so it was on 26th December 2017 that this view of Snowdon 1085, appeared around 150km away. Usually what you can see from this part of Wicklow is the distinctive shape of Yr Eifl (560m) which is on the Llyn Penisula and is a good bit nearer. Like Snowdon it appears as two summits, the rightmost being higher. However you can tell it apart from Snowdon because it appears steeper and the left peak Yr Eifl N has a visible vertical cliff to the left caused by quarrying. Had Yr Eifl been visible it would appear to the right of Snowdon.Anyway on this occasion Snowdon was very visible to the naked eye and much enjoyed by the hordes visiting the top.

Maybe so, but then it is hard to see any part of Ireland from Wales. I was curious therefore to look at this picture of Djouce from very roughly 10km out of Dublin port. And yes the east track up Djouce is visible from here at least appearing as a lighter streak from the top towards the Sugar Loaf.

An impressive looking sight when driving down the N11. I had never climbed it so took advantage of a spare hour when driving down the country on a work-trip. Parked at the car-park on the Southern side of the mountain from which it's a relatively short walk along an obvious track which swings around and up the Western side of the mountain. Unfortunately, a low cloud cover meant that I didn't get to enjoy the views from the summit.The mountain suffers from it's own popularity with the last section of the climb suffering badly from walker erosion. I'd venture a bet that it's one of Ireland's most climbed mountains.

Poor concentration. Weight gain. Irritability. Loss of libido. Urgency. Frequency. Flatulence. Alopecia. All the usual symptoms. I needed a fix. But I couldn't simply hare off on my own up another great mountain. After all I'm joint head of the family (according to the Constitution). They are entitled to some meaningful contact. Hmmm. Then it came to me. Bring them too! At least all except the eldest who's away. Given that our youngest lads are aged 4 and 6 we needed a mountain that would be accessible and not overly challenging...but with worthy views at the summit. The answer was the Great Sugar Loaf. After a surprisingly easy trip from Meath via the M50 we arrived at the well trodden base. Model planes were buzzing about. Then we had to get past the motorcyclists (who seemed to be aged between 8 and 12). Peter (4) quickly tired on the lower slopes which was exactly what I had hoped for: I carried him up "piggy back" style, loving every moment of the suffering, my mind totally fixed on next week's Navan assault and the need for preparation. When we reached the shoulder we faced a tricky little scramble up a steep stoney path to the summit. I was thrilled when the two little lads insisted on attacking the route like a pair of mountain goats. God bless them...you could see the magnificent Vertigo genes vibrating in their little limbs!! How proud I was as they munched their sambos and slurped their soup at "the top of the world". Now in case you think we're not safety conscious I want to assure you that the little lads were carefully monitored by three "big people" at all times. A great outing. Okay it would have been better if the mountain had been slightly less busy than Grafton Street, and if I could have taken pot shots at the Model Planes and the mad cyclists...and if the mountain wasn't so damaged...but its handy, and its perfect for kids and the views are stunning. So...hey...you can't have it all!! P.S. Mummy has pointed out that John is aged 6 not 7. I have corrected this error above. Also I have been asked to point out that John climbed the G.Sugar Loaf from base to summit and back without so much as an "are we there yet?" He is a true natural. PPS Mummy points out that the scramble just before the Sugar Loaf's summit could be dangerous.

Mouse hearts in OCT - freeze/thaw: damage? - (Aug/21/2012 )
I've got whole mice hearts in oct (frozen at -80). I'm planning to do cross-sections of the heart from bottom to top. (middle parts should like a bit like "rings" because of the lumen, if you know what i mean).
The problem: some hearts have shifted position during the freezing process and are not upright in the OCT. therefore I don't know the exact orientation and may risk to not get a 90degree angle in order to obtain good sections (there is a risk i'm cutting in a weird angle because the orientation of the heart has shifted).
My question: would you have any solution to this problem?
-is there a "trick" to determine the orientation of the heart (apex/top)
-could i just thaw the section, cut the heart in half (cut hearts apparently dont change orientation during the freezing process) and refreeze? Would that considerably damage the tissue?
Thanks for your info! please specify if your info is "reliable first hand experience" or if you "just think" this might be a solution.
Thawing will damage the structure considerably unless they have been perfused with a cryoprotectant. You may be able to melt the OCT and re-position the heart without thawing the heart, but it may take some experimentation.

That renders as expected:
The problem is that, as lots of books do, I want to force lines with that kind of equations (they can have more things than just
\dfrac{...}{...} or
\displaystyle ... \frac{...}{...}) to have more line height, so the line height is equal to the other lines, and not forced like in the following image:
Then, I want this result, where the "j" and the "t"s they don't "compress" the line height.
PS: when I'm saying "so the line height is equal to the other lines" I refer to that:

Michelle Obama's Image Altered By Iranian News Agency
(NEW YORK) -- A semi-official Iranian news agency called Fars altered an image of Michelle Obama at the Academy Awards to appeal to their more conservative readers.
An image was Photoshopped to show Mrs. Obama with covered shoulders and chest– a stark contrast from the sleeveless silver gown that she was wearing by designer Naeem Khan on Sunday night.
Although modest by American standards, the designer gown, which exposed the shoulders and partial chest of the first lady, violated the codes of modesty enforced in many Muslim countries.
Patrick Ventrell, deputy State Department spokesperson, wouldn't comment on Michelle Obama's manipulated photo but he did say that the State Department has seen images and statements manipulated in the past by the Iranian government.
"We've persistently seen Iranian news agencies, whether they're partially or fully state-run, use fabrication and use other means to distort images."
Ventrell continues, "It's something that we've seen in the past here in this department. We've seen photos manipulated. We've seen official statements manipulated. So there would be nothing new. It wouldn't surprise me."
And he is right, as Michelle Obama certainly isn't the only female figure that has been covered up by Middle Eastern media. In 2011, images of supermodel Gisele Bündchen were digitally altered to cover the model, who was starring in a new H&M campaign. The photo alterations were made to ads running in Dubai.
Singer Mariah Carey's outfits were also modified in Saudi Arabia where her album shots were Photoshopped to more closely align with the values of the Muslim culture.
Michelle Obama wasn't the only thing that bothered Iranians about the Academy Awards this year. According to the Washington Post, Iranian media has also criticized the best picture of the year Argo as an unflattering portrayal of Iran.
Mehr News produced a headline criticizing Affleck's acceptance speech. The headline read, "After distorting history, Ben Affleck continues to show a bleak picture of Iran: Iranians live in terrible circumstances."
And The Asriran news website published remarks suggesting the film has anti-Iranian inclinations.
Though Argo, which focuses on the Iranian hostage crisis from 1979 to 1981, has not been shown in any Iranian cinema, Iranian media called the award a "political" win.

Medical malpractice happens when a doctor or medical professional is negligent or omits treatment that results in harm to a patient. Types of negligence by a health care professional include an error in treatment, diagnosis or management of the illness. If a patient is injured due to negligence, a medical malpractice lawsuit could arise. The actions of the health care professional must deviate from generally accepted standards of practice, improper care, medication errors, and nursing or sanitation issues.
Simply put, personal injury is when a person suffers harm due to the fault or negligence of another. This might mean a car accident, a defective product, a slippery floor or many other possibilities. The layperson may not know if they have a case. That is why it is important that if you have been injured, you seek the advice of a qualified St. Louis personal injury lawyer. Did you know that there are time restrictions to filing personal injury cases? There are many important issues that will affect your case.

Hendrickson believes that the only way to truly provide you with the best representation is to handle all aspects of your case personally. In any given case there will be many hours spent taking sworn statements from witnesses prior to trial, reviewing defendant's documents and the plaintiff's medical records. Many trial attorneys will leave this preparation to associate attorneys. However, in his experience, Mr. Hendrickson has found that by handling each and every aspect of your case personally, he develops a depth of knowledge and understanding of the facts and evidence that gives him a distinct advantage during settlement negotiations and trial.

I had rather an interesting experience yesterday. The accelerator cable broke just as I drove out of a parking lot with a car full of groceries. Within minutes, two young men who did know each other simultaneously stopped to help. They pushed my car into a parking space (the car did not want to go in straight, but went in at an angle, which turned out to be the optimal placement for the tow truck). One of the men watched my car while the other took me and my groceries home and then brought me back to wait for the tow truck. Both of them left to finish their errands, then returned later to see make sure I was okay. Such chivalry! My knights in denim.
What could have been a disaster turned out to be a rather fun and entertaining day. (It was the first time I ever used my cell phone for an emergency. It was also the first time I ever used my insurance company's new roadside service, which actually turned out to be easy and effective. Amazing.) And I enjoyed talking to the two fellows, neither of whom I would ever have met in the normal course of my life.
I'm not sure what if anything I learned from the experience except to relearn what I already knew — it's nice when things work out, but if they don't, it's an adventure. Of course, even considering the broken cable, everything did work out. The breakdown could just as easily have become a real horror, but except for the groceries, I wasn't worried. (And even the groceries weren't much of a problem. I could have returned them and walked home.) I have no real reason to be one place other than another, and after dealing with death of my life mate/soul mate and the ensuing grief, I really do believe I can deal with anything.
This bodes well for my future travel plans. If things go as I intend, the trips will be nice, but if things go wrong, well . . . adventure awaits.
(This experience might turn into a story someday. My chauffeur looked a bit like one of my brothers and sounded exactly like him. Even had the same laugh. Sounds to me like a great jumping off place for a "what if.")

Commercial Smoke Detectors
Properly installed and maintained commercial smoke detectors are one of the best ways to provide an early warning sign when a fire begins, therefore protecting your employees, customers, property, and inventory. Commercial smoke detectors are either conventional or analog, and are wired to security monitoring systems or fire alarm control panels. These detectors don't need to have built-in alarms because once connected to the fire alarm control panel, it's the control panel itself which will prompt strobes and sirens, plus call for help when needed.
HomeSecurityStore.com's smoke detectors are conventional. This means they will communicate with the fire alarm control panel simply by changing state from high impedance to low impedance when smoke is detected. The control panels of typical commercial smoke alarms can usually monitor a number of zones or loops of detectors which can be arranged to correspond to different areas of a building. In the event of a fire, the fire alarm control panel should identify which zone contains the detector or detectors in alarm, but it's not able to identify which individual detector or detectors is in an alarm state.
HomeSecurityStore.com's conventional commercial smoke alarms are made up of the System Sensor's i3 series. The i3 family is founded on three principles - installation ease, intelligence, and instant inspection. It is has been well established that working commercial smoke alarms save lives, prevent injuries, and minimize property damage by alerting people to an occurring fire hazard. However, if you own a business, the risk in property damage and liability is that much greater, which means your responsibility is greater as well.
Did You Know?
Almost 62% of reported home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Working commercial smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires in half. In fires considered large enough to activate the smoke alarm, hardwired alarms operated 92% of the time, while battery powered commercial smoke detectors operated only 77% of the time.

The findings advance the biomedical community's understanding and treatment of human anemias and mitochondrial disorders.
The study will be published online on November 7, 2012 in Nature.
The researchers used an unbiased zebrafish genetic screen to clone mitochondrial ATPase inhibitory factor-1 gene, or Atpif1. The gene allows animals-zebrafish, mice and humans for instance-to efficiently make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood.
The researchers found that loss of Atpif1 causes severe anemia. Moreover, the researchers uncovered a broader mechanistic role for Atpif1-regulating the enzymatic activity of ferrochelatase, or Fech. Fech is the terminal enzyme in heme (a component of hemoglobin) synthesis.
"Our study has established a unique functional link between Atpif1-regulated mitochondrial pH, redox potential, and [2Fe-2S] cluster binding to Fech in modulating its heme synthesis," said Dhvanit Shah, PhD, BWH Division of Hematology, Department of Medicine, first study author.
The researchers were also able to produce data on the human version of Atpif1, noting its functional importance for normal red blood cell differentiation, and noting that a deficiency may contribute to human diseases, such as congenital sideroblastic anemias and other diseases related to dysfunctional mitochondria (the energy powerhouses of cells).
"Discovering the novel mechanism of Atpif1 as a regulator of heme synthesis advances the understanding of mitochondrial heme homeostasis and red blood cell development," said Barry Paw, MD, PhD, BWH Division of Hematology, Department of Medicine, senior study author.
Shah and Paw continue to identify new genes responsible for hematopoietic stem cell development and red cell differentiation. Their identification of new genes will elucidate the new mechanisms regulating hematopoiesis-the formation of blood cell components. Their work not only provides greater insight into human congenital anemias, but also new opportunities for improved therapies.
Anemia, a condition in which your blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells or hemoglobin levels, can affect people of all ages. Women of childbearing age and older adults are at higher risk. Babies and children are also at risk for anemia due to nutritional iron deficiency or lead poisoning.
Shah and Paw also have faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.
This research was primarily supported by the Cooley's Anemia Foundation; March of Dimes Foundation; National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases; and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Two North Augusta brothers are dead after leading police on a high-speed car chase from Augusta into North Augusta, according to police.
Derrick Darden, 23, and his brother, Deante Darden, 22, both of North Augusta, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash about 2 a.m. this morning on Carolina Springs Road, according to Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton.
According to the Richmond County Sheriff's Office, a deputy attempted to stop the car the brothers were in when he observed them speeding on Broad Street in Augusta.
The deputy attempted to catch up to the vehicle and observed the car driving erratically, police said. The vehicle, a 2007 Chevrolet Impala, initially pulled over at the corner of 4th and Reynolds streets in Augusta, and as the deputy exited his patrol cruiser and approached the Impala, the brothers took off at a high rate of speed, police said.
The vehicle traveled into South Carolina on the Gordon Highway Bridge at speeds in excess of 100 mph, police said. The vehicle took the Martintown Road exit and traveled on several other roads before the vehicle went off the roadway and struck a tree at 515 Carolina Springs Road, police said.
Both men were not wearing seatbelts and died from multiple body trauma, Carlton said. An autopsy for Derrick Darden, who was the driver, is scheduled for today in Newberry, and toxicology is pending, Carlton said.
