3. User Generated Content and Site Activities
A. User Generated Content — Your Responsibility and License to Others. Sometimes you may wish to provide Content, such as by uploading a video or information, or submitting comments in a chat room. When you provide Content, you:
represent and warrant that the Content is (a) wholly your original work, or (b) that you have all necessary right, title, interest and licenses to upload it and make it available to the Foundation and other users for download, distribution and use under these Terms without (i) violation (by you, us, Third Parties, users or anyone else) of any applicable license, restriction or law, or (ii) a potentially adverse consequence to us, Third Parties, users or anyone else that you have not conspicuously disclosed in the Content. As used here, "adverse consequence," means a restriction governing the Content which could be triggered if we or others exercise a right under the license you grant below and which imposes an obligation, liability or impairment of rights on us or others that was not conspicuously disclosed by you before exercise of a right. To disclose an adverse action, you agree to conspicuously place on or in the Content notice that adverse actions can result and that you may be contacted at the email address and telephone number in the notice to obtain your full disclosure of applicable licenses and restrictions applicable to the Content;
grant the Foundation, its affiliates, Third Parties sub-licensees and successors and assigns, and each Site user who downloads the Content under these Terms, a perpetual, nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, irrevocable license to (i) use, copy, distribute, modify and create derivative works from the Content; (ii) publicly perform or display, license and distribute copies of the Content, modified Content and derivative works of the Content; and (iii) sublicense to third parties the foregoing rights, including the right to sublicense to further third parties, as necessary or advisable (as determine by the Foundation or other licensed person in its sole discretion) to allow the Foundation or other licensed person to fulfill its charitable or governmental mission, to further its related operations, and to create, advertise, operate and manage the Site.
In addition to the rights above, you acknowledge and agree that we may keep Content indefinitely and disclose it for any purpose, including but not limited to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce these Terms; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) without undertaking a duty to do so, protect the rights, property, or personal safety of the Foundation, its users and the public.
You agree not to upload, post or otherwise transmit through the Site any Content or any other materials whatsoever that are or could appear to:
be defamatory, obscene, invasive to another person's privacy or protected data, or tortious;
be infringing upon anyone's intellectual property rights, including any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or right of publicity;
contain any software viruses or any other harmful computer code, files, or programs, including any designed to interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment; and
in violation of any applicable license, law or contractual or fiduciary duty or provision (including by exercise of the rights you grant to the Foundation above).
The Foundation anticipates that substantial Content or even assistance will be made available to you and others through the Site or otherwise. Content may be outdated or contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or problematic or defective functionality, and assistance (such as Foundation help with a report you are obligated to make) will need your review. YOU AGREE NOT TO RELY ON CONTENT OR ASSISTANCE AND TO DETERMINE ALL RELEVANT FACTORS ON YOUR OWN, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) ACCURACY, FUNCTIONALITY, QUALITY, RELIABILITY AND OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS. We reserve the right to monitor and exercise all other rights of ours, and also to modify or remove any Content or assistance at any time, but do not undertake any duty to do so.
Any opinions, advice, statements, assistance, services, offers, or information expressed or made available by third parties, including users, are those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of the Foundation.
B. Site Activities. The Site is provided as is and when available, and we may change all Content, functionality and services in our discretion at any time. We may also do this for particular activities even if you have started to participate. For example, we can change a job or grant description at any time even if you have already applied, and not all jobs or grants may be posted at all or on the Site – we use various methods for pursuing our mission and they are not limited to the Site. Also, we or Third Parties might make a mistake and we reserve the right to correct anything, including but not limited to Content or assistance on the Site. For example, we may correct, change, withdraw or do anything else with a job or grant description even if you have already taken action based on it.
C. No Commissions. We do not want to deal with persons desiring to be paid for something unless we intentionally enter into an express contract to do so. This means, for example, that we do not pay commissions or other sums to anyone who helps arrange a job, grant or anything else unless we have expressly contracted to do so in writing prior to any such arrangement. For example, if you submit an application for someone else without entering into such a contract with us, we will not pay you (or anyone else) a commission or other amount even if we accept the application, hire the person or make the grant etc. We may also use, delete or ignore any information you provided without paying you anything and without undertaking any duties to you or anyone else. If you do not want that result then do not submit any information without entering into a written contract with us first.
4. Privacy Notice
Our Privacy Notice is part of these Terms and is incorporated herein. Do not provide personal data about others unless you are authorized or required to do so by contract or applicable law. You may provide personal data on behalf of another person if you have provided them with a copy of this notice and any applicable supplemental privacy notice, and obtained their explicit consent. We may ask you to provide evidence of that notice and consent.
5. Infringement of Our Rights or the Rights of Others; Your Warranty

Munich, March 15, 2017 – Fast serial communications interfaces such as USB and PCIe have found their way into the designs of many electronic circuits. When testing and debugging circuits, developers need easy-to-use tools that provide comprehensive support for these interfaces. The most compact complete solution available today is offered by Rohde & Schwarz and consists of the following components: the R&S RTO2064 oscilloscope, the test options for the various interface standards, and modular R&S RT-ZM60 broadband probes for contacting the DUT.
Rohde & Schwarz is expanding its offering with the following new test options: triggering and decoding software options for SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.1 Gen1), PCIe 1.1/2.0 and USB-PD, plus a compliance test option for PCIe 1.1/2.0.
Detailed protocol analysis practically presented
All the new triggering and decoding options support users looking for faults that occur during SuperSpeed USB, PCIe 2.0 and USB-PD transmission. The options trigger on user-defined protocol trigger events and decode the transmitted serial protocol, enabling the R&S RTO2000 to display additional time- and frequency-domain measurements time-correlated to the protocol trigger event. The cause of a fault is often recognizable at a glance. The analysis results can also be displayed in a table with all protocol details and associated timestamps.
The ability to analyze at different protocol levels is another unique feature. For example, users can select between a simple bit view, a symbol view or a specific protocol view with frame start, address and data in order to track down protocol errors to the lowest bit level. Now developers have a powerful tool for fast analysis and debugging.
Compliance tests for PCIe 1.1/2.0
For PCIe, Rohde & Schwarz expanded its compliance test suite to include compliance tests for PCIe 1.1/2.0. Software options based on the PCI-SIG standard postprocessing analysis software assess the signal integrity against this standard. The test option permits automated compliance verification of the physical layer up to 2.5 Gbit/s.
The new R&S RTO-K61 USB 3.1 Gen1 T&D, R&S RTO-K72 PCIe 1.1/2.0 T&D and R&S RTO-K81 PCIe 1.1/2.0 compliance test software options are specifically designed for the R&S RTO2000 oscilloscope with 6 GHz bandwidth. These options as well as the R&S RTE/RTO-K63 USB-PD T&D options are now available from Rohde & Schwarz. They will be officially introduced at the embedded world 2017 trade fair in Nuremberg from March 14 to 16, 2017.

In contribution to the Arctic Observing Network, the researchers have established two observatories of landscape-level carbon, water and energy balances at Imnaviat Creek, Alaska and at Pleistocene Park near Cherskii, Russia. These will form part of a network of obervatories with Abisko (Sweden), Zackenburg (Greenland) and a location in the Canadian High Arctic which will provide further data points as part of the International Polar Year. This particular part of the project focuses on simultaneous measurements of carbon, water and energy fluxes of the terrestrial landscape at hourly, daily, seasonal and multi-year time scales. These are the major regulatory drivers of the Arctic climate system and form key linkages and feedbacks between the land surface, the atmosphere and the oceans.
In support of these objectives, a new 32m tower was deployed in Pleistocene Park, about 20km south of North-East Science Station in Cherskii, Russia. This station is currently measuring fluxes of carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor and energy in addition to other meteorological variables.
Project Keywords:
Data set ID:
EML revision ID:
Publication Date:
Similar to the other flux stations involved in the AON project, the Pleistocene Park Station generates two types of data: high frequency eddy covariance (EC) data and low frequency means of meteorological and subsurface data. On a daily basis, approximately 75Mb of high frequency binary data and 16Kb of low frequency ASCII data is collected.
This station uses a CR3000 datalogger and a laptop to collect and store data. The CR3000 is used to measure the open-path EC equipment which is sampled at 10Hz. Mircrometeorlogical data is scanned at 0.33Hz and all datapoints are averaged every half hour. The CRBASIC program that controls the datalogger has been written in such a way that only the most basic corrections and filtering are applied to the raw data. These would include shifting the CSAT3 and LI7500 data arrays by 2 and 3 scans respectively to account for the inherent processing delays of these sensors.
About Data Processing
Time is expessed as local time, AST (UTC-9hrs) for Imnavait and MAGST (UTC+12hrs) for Pleistocene Park
Gas and energy fluxes are calculated from the high frequency time series using EdiRe or EddyPro software with these basic corrections: despiking, coordinate rotation, spectral correction, the 'WPL' correction, and the 'Burba' correction (where appropriate, to account for instrument heating effects).
Some data have been filtered (_f) and gap-filled (_gf).
The generation of mass and energy fluxes from the high frequency data is performed with the following basic corrections:
The 'WPL' correction
A coordinate rotation
A spectral correction
The 'Burba' correction (where appropriate to account for instrument heating effect)
*Correct instrument lag adjustment occurs during datalogging
The following QA/QC variables are applied to the flux data:
Stationarity tests
Footprint analysis
Gas analyzer diagnostics are used as a QA/QC variable for both flux and radiation data
Rejection angles of 10° at Imnavait and 45° at Pleistocene Park are used when EC instruments were downwind of tower to remove flow distortions
The flux and meteorological data is further post-processed to accomplish the following:
Data are within engineering specifications of each instrument.
Removal of impossible measurements (e.g. negative precipitation)
Removal of outliers via a three-standard deviation filter
Removal of unrealistic changes in a time series with a step change filter
A similarity filter to remove errors from instruments that generate a string of identical values when not working
Flux variables are calculated using Licor's EddyPro flux processing software. The quality control flags for flux variables (either raw or filtered) are calculated using the Mauder and Foken (2004) method within the EddyPro. Flag values and meanings are available on the Licor web site at https://www.licor.com/env/help/eddypro/topics_eddypro/Flux_Quality_Flags...
Gaps in the data are filled using the BGC_Jena gapfilling tool ReddyProc. Information on the gap-filling protocol is available here, https://www.bgc-jena.mpg.de/bgi/index.php/Services/REddyProcWebGapFilling. The meaning of the quality control flags for all gap-filled (_gf) variables is listed here (https://www.bgc-jena.mpg.de/bgi/index.php/Services/REddyProcWebOutput) under the _fqc entry.

Mouth Probiotics Speed Canker Sore Healing and Reduce Cavities, Arthritis Pain, Heart Disease
(Click here for more coverage of preventing canker sores.)
Probiotics lozenges for the mouth can help suppress harmful bacteria by growing many more "friendly" bacteria that release substances that block the growth of disease-causing bacteria. This can accelerate the healing of canker sores and other mouth injuries. It also helps reduce both cavities and oral inflammation such as gum diseases that lead to worsened arthritis, atherosclerosis, and other inflammatory diseases throughout the human body.

Mecalux experiences a strong growth during the year's first semester registering an 11% turnover increase, going from 301 million Euro to 333.1 million Euro recorded for the present tax year. Its worth pointing out the effect of the Euro revaluation in regards to the dollar in relation to the contribution of the American market in the total amount of sales. Mecalux considers its success the result of: a stronger international presence, strong growth in Latin American and Eastern European markets together with a innovative approach as a differential value. The company plans to take over the American company UFC Interlake before the end of the year as a way to grow in this area and begin to consolidate itself in the Asian market with a productive plant in Shangai which could be operative in the year 2010.
Improvement of the Group's profitability, more efficiency and benefits.
The company achieves more profitability by increasing its EBITDA in a 3% which represents 48.8 million Euros in contrast to the 47.6 million Euro of the previous year. On the other hand, the Group's net benefit has experienced a 17% growth, increasing from 24.2 million Euro to 28.2 million recorded for this first semester 2008. Although, it must be highlighted that the Group has activated tax deductions in Poland obtained from investments carried out in this country. The profits before tax has increased a 1% going from 32 to 32.4 million Euro.
The company's financial situation
On July 14th, 2008 a share capital enlargement was carried out allowing Caja Madrid a subscription with 20 % of the company. The paid out income rises up to 168 million Euro. Therefore, the net debt is of 5.5 million Euro and the self-owned funds reach 413.0 million Euro, recorded for June 30th 2008 proforma. In other words, this means the share capital extension of 168 million Euro had been effective before the closure of the year's first semester. Based on the same criteria, the relation net debt/self-owned funds is of 0,01, whereas the net debt in relation to the Ebitda is of 0,11.
Growth and evolution in the different markets
Mecalux experienced a general growth in sales: a 2% increase in Southern Europe , a 75% increase in Central Europe, a 62% in MERCOSUR, and a 1% increase in North American markets.
Europe, 2% growth in Southern Europe and a 75% growth in Central Europe
In Southern Europe (Spain, France, Italy and Portugal) sales have increased a 2% during the year's first semester, being France and Portugal those markets with a better evolution. The Group stays optimistic in regards to these market's evolution since the orders to the Group have shown a 4% improvement compared to the same dates in 2007. In Central Europe, the Group´s sales have increased a 75%. This significant rise has caused its zone to represent 9% of the Group's sales in comparison with the 5% representation registered on the previous year for the same term.
Nafta, a 1% growth
In the North American market the increase is represented by a 1%, although we must consider the effect of the euro revaluation over the dollar, which means the total number of sales represented in Euro is less. In local currency, growth in México represents a 50%. The situation in the United States is more complicated where a slight recession has been recorded. Currently the NAFTA area represents a 14% of the Group's consolidated business.
MERCOSUR, 62% growth
The sales increase for this first semester represents a 62%. The most noticeable growth has been in Brazil with a 97% sales increase for this period in local currency. In Argentina, Mecalux holds its leadership and grows a 43% in local currency. On the other hand, Chile experiences a slight recession. MERCOSUR represents a 12% of the Group's sales.
Logismarket, a new design with a multimedia approach and increase of visitors and company registrations.
Mecalux has recently redesigned its industrial directory Logismarket in order to allow the registered companies to offer multimedia images of their products and services. During the year's first semester, access to the portal has increased by an 18% and has recorded more than 6 million visits during this first term. On the other hand, currently 3,500 companies offer their products and services through the portal, 14% more than the previous year. Logismarket has specific websites for Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Benelux, Great Britain, Austria, Switzerland, Poland and Czech Republic, plus an international version available at www.logismarket.com. Logismarket is an industrial directory which creates a contact between companies developing in the logistic, storage, packaging and industrial equipment sectors with the sector-related sales managers, therefore making receiving quotations and complete information of the different services much easier.

The commands listed belows are some that we use often in our regular use, but many more exist, and you should check the man page and documentation for more details. The ssh
Secure Shell command
provides secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. It is a program for logging securely into a remote machine and executing commands from there. It is a suitable replacement
for insecure programs like telnet, rlogin, rcp, rdist, and rsh.
To login to a remote machine, use the command:
[root@deep] /#ssh -l <login_name> <hostname>
Example 15.1. Remote login using ssh
[root@deep] /#ssh -l admin www.openna.com
email@example.com password:
Last login: Tue Oct 19 1999 18:13:00 -0400 from deep.openna.com
No mail.
[admin@www ]/admin$
Where <login_name> is the name you use to connect to the ssh server and <hostname> is the remote address of your ssh server.
The scp Secure Copy utility copies files from the local system to a remote system or vice versa, or even between two remote systems using the scp command. To copy files from remote to local system, use the following command:
[root@deep] /#su admin [admin@deep /]$scp -p <login_name@hostname>:/dir/for/file localdir/to/filelocation
Example 15.2. scp Secure Copy utility
[admin@deep /]$ scp1 -p admin@mail:/etc/test1 /tmp
Enter passphrase for RSA key 'email@example.com':
test1 | 2 KB | 2.0 kB/s | ETA: 00:00:00 | 100%
To copy files from local to remote system, use the following command:
[root@deep] /#su admin [admin@deep /]$scp -p localdir/to/filelocation <username@hostname>:/dir/for/file
Example 15.3. local to remote
[admin@deep /]$scp1 -p /usr/bin/test2 admin@mail:/var/tmp
admin@mail's password:
test2 | 7 KB | 7.9 kB/s | ETA: 00:00:00 | 100%
The -p option indicates that the modification and access times, as well as modes of the source file, should be preserved on the copy. This is usually desirable.
Some possible uses of OpenSSH softwareare:
Replace telnet, rlogin, rsh, rdist, and rcp.
Make secure backups over the network.
Execute remote commands.
Access to corporate resources over the Internet.

Monsoon season poses a serious risk for Bangladesh's refugee communities
Severe weather brought on by the monsoon season in Bangladesh poses a significant risk to the refugee settlement in Cox's Bazar.
Since August 2017 the Inter-Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) estimates that 688,001 Rohingya refugees have entered Bangladesh.
A large number of these refugees are living in an overcrowded and hilly settlement that are extremely vulnerable to flooding and landslides.
The UNHCR, the International Organization for Migration, REACH, and the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center conducted a mapping survey of the area and found that 371 households in the largest camp, Kutapalong-Bulakhali, are living on slopes of 45 degrees or more, which are 85% more likely to disappear in a landslide.
Furthermore, the mapping revealed that at least 100,000 people in Kutapalong-Bulakhali are in serious danger from the effects of the monsoon.
Daphnee Cook, Save the Children's communications and media manager for the Rohingya response said:
"We are facing a major humanitarian emergency within a major humanitarian emergency…we know that the weather will wreak havoc, the question is one of degrees of damage."
"We know that within 24 hours of a deluge, roads in the camps can turn to mud, while hills stripped of vegetation — now covered with huts made of bamboo and plastic — are highly susceptible to landslides"
Bangladesh experiences two cyclone seasons each year and the government is experienced in cyclone preparation and response, Bangladesh is working with the Inter Sector Coordination Group to extend its preparation programme to cover the refugee settlements.
However, the cyclone response plan usually rely on established community shelters and evacuation points which will be extremely difficult to provide for 1 million Rohingya refugees due to the highly congested camp.
Caroline Gluck, UNHCR senior public information officer deployed to Cox's Bazar, added:
"It is a race against time to try to mitigate some of the likely impacts".
UNHCR has already distributed 30,000 upgraded shelter kits including bamboo, extra tarpaulin, string, rope, wire, and nails to be used to enforce and attempt to waterproof individual shelters, while sandbags are being used as anchors.
As evacuation is an unrealistic approach, UNHCR are beginning to pilot a project that will relocate up to 20 families at a time while work is carried out to reduce the steepness of the slopes. After the steepness is reduced the families will be moved back.
In addition to this, there remains a large amount of engineering to be done throughout the camps, such as ensuring drainage systems are repaired and cleaned to allow rain water to flow freely, constructing stairs and railings to ensure people can walk even when the ground is wet and stabilising retaining walls.
Currently a public information campaign is underway to ensure refugees are aware of the risks and how best to respond. This is particularly important as many refugees have fled flat, low-lying plains in Myanmar.
Join us for the 4th Annual Aid & Development Asia Summit in Bangkok, Thailand on 20-21 June 2018.

By David Glance, University of Western Australia
Researchers at MIT's Media Lab have created an application called Immersion, which uses your email to display all of the people you communicate with in a highly visual way. Although it was designed primarily as a way of illustrating a person's connections and social networks, it has served to highlight the amount of information that is encoded in communication metadata and what can be done with that data without even needing the actual content of emails.
This is especially relevant at the moment with the revelations that the US secret service has been engaged in widespread surveillance using email and other personal data sourced from companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft.
Email metadata refers to information such as the sender and recipients of an email. On its own, this information may not be particularly very interesting, especially if as in my case, it is one of 53,129 emails that is in my work Gmail account.
But when visualised using a social network graph, relationships with particular people emerge along with their place in particular networks. Relationships emerge from the metadata that reflect working structures, projects I have worked on and companies that I have interacted with.
The social network graph becomes even more revealing when combined with the email metadata from each connection in the social graph. Friends of friends become visible; connections between individuals' social networks show how distant they are from each other.
You can see this visualised using another tool called the Challenger Network Graph that takes Facebook data and produces its own social network diagram. Unlike email, Facebook metadata contains much more detailed information about relationships between people. It is, after all, designed for this purpose. Consequently, the metadata is even more revealing than email in terms of showing the strengths of connections between individuals and groups.
You can also visualise your social network graph on LinkedIn using an application called InMaps. As before, this graph is likely to highlight relationships from places of work, but will also show customers and other social connections.
The aggregation of this metadata reveals a wealth of information about one's personal relationships and highlights the power of having large amounts of small bits of information.
For the public, who are slowly becoming aware of the concepts of metadata and what it can reveal, this is an important step in understanding how it underlies our privacy on the internet.
For organisations and countries, the consequences of other countries or organisations having access to this data also comes to the surface. Even something as innocuous as social network analysis can reveal much information about corporate and political activity.
The beauty of this is that claims can be made that as long as you are not looking at the "content" of communications, you are not doing anything wrong. But one doesn't need the content to reveal the full extent of what sort of communication is taking place.
Encrypting emails may make the senders and receivers believe that their communication is safe, but the mere fact that a communication is encrypted will make that communication stand out and highlight a peculiarity in that relationship. It is in and of itself another important bit of metadata that acts as telltale to the relationship and its attendant connections.
There is really not very much people can do to protect the digital traces left by metadata, short of not communicating electronically in the first place. Everything we do electronically leaks information through metadata, most of it hidden from its originators.
The fact that the Russian security services are resorting to manual typewriters, paper and presumably microfiche is a testament to the understanding that anything that is electronic is vulnerable to being leaked. Perhaps we will start to see a resurgence in the use of paper, pen and carrier pigeons.

Keep Mom at Home in South Florida
Helpful tips for family caregivers
June/July 2021
Did you know that financial abuse is on the rise? It's becoming the most common form of elder exploitation. June is National Elder Abuse Awareness Month and a good time to acquaint yourself with the signs of a problem. In our middle article we look at the importance of periodically taking in the awesomeness of life. It's not hard to do and it's measurably good for the body and spirit. Last, we look at the option of managing advanced kidney disease without dialysis. While not for everyone, it is a liberating strategy for those who value quality of life.
Signs of financial abuse
Older adults are frequently targeted for financial abuse. They typically have more funds than their younger counterparts do. They tend to be generous and naïve, not understanding all the ways they can be scammed. Some have memory and thinking problems. And even if they do realize they've been "taken," they may be too ashamed or scared to admit it.
Indeed, studies suggest financial abuse is on the rise. It is likely now the dominant form of elder abuse.
Perhaps the saddest of all facts is that 50% to 65% of the time, the abuser is a member of the family or someone known to the victim. Maybe an adult child at loose ends or grandchild with a drug problem. Even spouses are perpetrators.
Common signs of trouble
- A "new best friend." Fraudsters prey upon loneliness to become deeply involved in an elder's life. They can be strangers or relatives who literally or figuratively move in to "help."
- Isolation. Can you still connect with your loved one easily and privately? Abusers may hide the phone, hide glasses and hearing aids, or listen in on every contact. Another strategy is to emotionally manipulate the older adult into mistrusting everyone but the abuser.
- Unusual financial activity. Watch for sharp reductions in assets, bounced checks, unpaid bills, or collection notices. A new check signer or additional credit card may spell trouble. Also, a recent change in the will or trust. A report of forged checks is definitely a red alert.
- Frightened or secretive behavior. Some abusers threaten repercussions for any disclosure or complaint. Shame may cause your relative to retreat and comply.
If you suspect abuse: Contact the Elder Abuse Hotline in the state where your loved one lives or AARP's ElderWatch program (1-800-222-4444). Or consult with an elderlaw attorney.
Return to topGiving "awesome" new meaning
Can you recall taking in a majestic view or the miracle of dewdrops on a spiderweb? That sense of awe—the magnificence of it all. In the presence of amazement and wonder, we feel connected with something much greater than ourselves. Our problems seem to shrink.
It turns out that these moments of awe have measurable physical and emotional benefits. Research shows they boost the immune system and arouse kindness and generosity. An "awe-some" life is good for us.
What makes an experience awe inspiring?
- Vastness. Seeing, hearing, or perceiving something that takes you beyond your normal sense of what's possible.
- Transcendence. Fully understanding and accepting this new perspective that you are both very small and part of something very grand.
Do you have to go to the Grand Canyon to experience awe?
Not at all! Wonder and amazement can be found at home. What is necessary is that you take the time to unplug and see things anew. (Leave the phone behind!) Give yourself uninterrupted time to immerse in the full experience of what you see, hear, smell, touch, feel, or even taste.
- Take an "awe walk." Try a local park, or even your backyard. Don't go for a walk. Go for the experience. Slow down. Tune into your senses. Take in the setting each time as if it were brand new.
- Listen to music that transports you. It's not just visuals that can inspire awe.
- Expose yourself to art. Instead of trying to see everything in a museum or on a tour, linger with what moves you. Savor a few pieces.
- Awe journal. Recall past events when you were awestruck. Sights, sounds, smells, feelings. Relive the experience as you write.
According to the research, measurable benefits can be found by consciously opening yourself to awe twice a week.
Return to topMedical management without dialysis
Dialysis typically buys a person some time. But it rules their life—and possibly yours. It requires strict adherence to the schedule. Also, severe food restrictions. Your relative's energy level will fluctuate. That makes planning for other activities difficult. There is an increased chance of infection because of the access port for dialysis. And there are side effects: Itchy skin, trouble sleeping, headaches, and dizziness. Cramps, nausea, weight loss, and fragile bones are not uncommon.
Unless your relative is doing home dialysis, they will need transportation to and from the center. A typical schedule involves two to three sessions a week. A session lasts about four hours.
One option to consider is managing the disease without dialysis. Admittedly, this may shorten length of life. But even patients on dialysis often decide to stop the treatment when the difficulties outweigh the benefits.
People who say "no" to dialysis from the beginning place a high value on quality of life. They prefer the thought of living on their own terms for eight months to living fifteen to twenty-four months with the rigors of dialysis.
People who receive the least benefits from dialysis are
- persons age 80 or older. Only 1:3 is alive two years into dialysis.
- persons with other serious conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes. Two years into dialysis, only 2:3 are still living. This goes down to 1:3 if they have two serious illnesses.
- persons with dementia. They have trouble following the restrictions. The procedure can also be confusing or scary to them.
Deciding against dialysis does not mean no treatment. Your relative's doctor will prescribe medications for blood pressure and fluid buildup. And to address fatigue. All of these treatments support easier walking and breathing. A better daily experience.
Deciding against dialysis is very personal. Ask the doctor to talk about your relative's best- and worst-case scenarios with and without dialysis. A care manager can also help your loved one weigh the options.

Bubble Your Way to Better Health: 5 Amazing Hot Tub Health Benefits
There's nothing better than a good, relaxing soak in the hot tub. It's a great way to relieve yourself of the day's stress and get that much-needed alone time. What many don't know, however, is that there are a lot of great health benefits that come with hot tubbing!
Keep reading to learn about 5 amazing hot tub benefits.
Reduce Joint & Muscle Pain
If you suffer from achy joints and muscles, a soak in the hot tub is just what you need.
The hot water dilates your blood vessels, widening them substantially. This increases blood flow to your hurting joints and muscles, giving you a quicker heal. Take a soak whenever you're feeling joint or muscle pain and you'll often feel instant relief!
The buoyancy of hot tub water actually reduces your weight by up to 90%, meaning much less pressure on your aching joints. This is great if you have fibromyalgia or arthritis.
If you play sports, it can be very beneficial to take a soak before a game or outing. This will loosen your muscles up and let you play much better!
Relieve Stress
It only takes one soak in the hot tub to feel the stress lift off your shoulders. When you look at it a little deeper, you can see just how great hot tubs are for relieving stress and anxiety.
Studies show that regular hot tub use improves your emotional and psychological state greatly. This goes back to the muscle relief given off by the hot water and jets. When your muscles relax your body relaxes, in turn allowing your mind to relax.
Get a Better Sleep
Many people find they get better sleep at night after a warm bath. Having a soak in the hot tub achieves the same thing.
When your body is warm you're able to fall asleep much faster. Not only that, but the chance of waking up throughout the night greatly decreases. Try hot-tubbing 90 minutes before bedtime for an hour for optimal results.
Get Better Looking Skin
When you get into the hot tub, your pores open up. This releases toxins from the skin, and leaves you with smoother, more healthy skin in general. A regular trip to a well maintained hot tub will do wonders for your skin, leaving you with a healthy glow, and even aiding in healing sores and wounds!
Relieve Symptoms of Diabetes
If you suffer from diabetes, you might want to invest in a hot tub.
As mentioned, hot tubs increase your blood flow by dilating your blood vessels and opens your pores. This releases extra heat from the body, and even reduces glucose levels in the blood. Since this is exactly what diabetes sufferers want, a regular soak in the hot tub can be very beneficial!
The Many Hot Tub Benefits
Above are just five of the many hot tub benefits, and there are many more where that comes from. Whether you have arthritis, diabetes, fibromyalgia, need better sleep, or simply need to relax, you can greatly benefit from the health benefits of hot tubs. Now, all that's left is buying a good hot tub.

The Collection Revealed was an innovative new series begun in 2009 which encouraged appreciation of, and participation in, modern and contemporary art as well offered the opportunity for highlighting new insights and research into the Gallery's permanent collection. This series of exhibitions was curated by Jessica O'Donnell, Head of Collections.
The Perceptive Eye: Artists Observing Artists was the third exhibition in this series drawn from the collection of Hugh Lane Gallery. The Perceptive Eye showcased rarely seen portraits of artists by artists, offering fascinating insights into how artists portray themselves and how they themselves are perceived. Paintings and works on paper by Edouard Manet, William Orpen, Sean Keating, Mary Swanzy, Henri Fantin-Latour, John Singer Sargent, Harry Clarke and Robert Ballagh, among other artists were included in this Collection Revealed show. From Manet's inclusion of himself and other artists in the ground breaking painting Music in the Tuileries Gardens to Francis Bacon's final unfinished self portrait there is great diversity in subject, setting and style of the works on show. Harry Clarke's wonderfully intense ink study of himself, for instance, is an intriguing companion to his 'hidden' self portrait in the frieze of his stained glass masterpiece The Eve of St Agnes (Collection: Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane.) Not all of the works are self portraits. Mary Swanzy's painting of Sarah Purser and C.F. Daubigny's portrait of Honore Daumier, for example, are records of great friendships and artistic solidarity.

Christy Dorrity: Tell me about Festival dancing. How is it different from other forms of Irish dance? What are the goals of your dance school?
Jackie White: I founded The Tir Na n-Og Irish Dancing School in February of 1998, along with my sister, Bronagh. We concentrate on celebrating the individuality of each child through development of style and technical ability. We are a small, friendly, school with very high standards, both competitively and in our performance work. We choreograph all of our own steps and have many champion dancers both locally and nationally. We are an Irish Festival dancing school, and as such, do not wear wigs. The use of fake tan and make up in young children is not permitted. In addition to our competitive work, we have a skilled performance troupe who perform regularly at many events.
Read more about the Festival style of dancing here.
Christy Dorrity: I've noticed that your dancer's appearances are very different than other Irish dance organizations'. Can you tell me what is different and why?
Jackie White: All of our female dancers wear soft velvet costumes with traditional Celtic embroidery. The softness of the full circle skirts reflect the movement and style of our dance, which is elegant and free flowing. We do not wear wigs or tiaras nor is makeup or fake tan permitted amongst our younger dancers. In fact, most of the competitions we take part in stipulate this as a rule on their syllabus. We try hard to celebrate individuality of appearance, and whilst we will ensure some standardization when performing as a team, we encourage dancers to celebrate their individuality in presentation at Festivals.
Christy Dorrity: Where have your dancers competed/performed?
Jackie White: We compete all over Northern Ireland at local Festivals, and also at the Northern Ireland Championships, and the FDTA Ulster Championships. We have also performed in the Republic of Ireland, and England. Our dream is to bring a Festival dance performance to the USA, to share what we do in person to wider audiences
Christy Dorrity: What's your favorite part of teaching Irish dance?
Jackie White: My favourite part of teaching is a dancer's journey from a tiny child through to a senior dancer. We try to get every dancer to be the best that they can be. For some that is many times a senior champion, and for others it is to simply enjoy their classes and stay fit and healthy.
Christy Dorrity: What plans do you have for the future of your dance school? How does the future look for Festival dancing?
Jackie White: We plan to continue teaching with high standards in our school. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved, and want to build on that ,as much talent exists in our younger school, so it will be nice to see how that unfolds in the coming years.
I think the future looks extremely bright in Festival dancing, as many in the Irish Dance world learn of its existence and are struck by its beauty and tradition. We currently have a Festival dancer (Lauren Smyth) as a lead in Riverdance. Lauren demonstrates how our art form translates particularly well to performance work.

I thought I was dreaming when I first heard that a group of young artists drove a mobile exhibition through the streets of Tehran. I must have been naïve to think this sort of thing doesn't happen in Iran. But there they were, two rickety open backed trucks, with permits and everything, sharing their work with the entire city. I started asking questions and found that public art projects and site specific work were happening all over the Middle East and actually being embraced. When did this happen? I tried to imagine my grandmother interacting with a series of ceramic dead dogs in the middle of a highway. My aunt passing by a woman wrapped in 100 meters of cheesecloth on her way to the supermarket. There are video installations in old garages, plays in abandoned churches, photography on the sides of buses. Forget the four walls of the white box; artists are placing their passion where people may have the chance to react a little differently.
A few weeks ago at lunch my friend Farhad Moshiri said "I've noticed that I can't really see myself until I leave Iran and come back. The whole time I'm gone, I'm aware of what is happening, but it is only when I get back to Iran that I can process it." This made me think — is contemporary art in the Middle East more readily received because it has been taken out its context?
The traditional forms of expression in the Middle East — painting, carpet weaving, calligraphy — have typically taken religion as their subject. For some years Contemporary art had been flourishing within a very small community; a group of artists creating work for a small audience who were invested in the same modes of artistic practice. However in the last few years the situation has changed dramatically. It seems that contemporary art is shifting out of its elitism. No longer for a dedicated group of gallery goers, contemporary art is now seen by passers by, commuters, bankers and engineers — anyone who's normal life happens to overlap with this progressive form. As people who were not normally interested in art now become part of this open-minded, incredibly receptive audience the work begins to take on more meaning.
The landscape is changing; now institutional exhibitions are being outshined by smaller, independent productions. Young curators are being favored over the out of touch establishment and spontaneous art happenings preferred more than stuffy, formal functions. The Cairo Biennale, for example, was awash in the tired ideologies of identity and the "Role of the Arab" in today's world — a theme that has been so overused that it has been pushed to the brink of irrelevance. Is this because Middle Easterners are tired of talking about who they are? No, it is because we are tired of other people telling us who we are. Instead of constantly being taken out of context by others, people are taking matters in to their own hands. From popular reality television shows like Arabic Big Brother to homegrown independent movies shot on DV, there is a whole movement of self-documentation.
In this, our first issue, we try to bring together some of the people who are bringing these projects to the public. We Are Spatial because we are bringing the private into public space; because we are redefining the boundaries between inside and outside. We Are Spatial because we are transforming the spaces in which we work and live. We Are Spatial because, although we are spread all across the world, we try, in some small way, to come together here.
Without judgment.

Mandy Moore Sends Support to Phoebe Bridgers Amid Ryan Adams Accusations
Mandy Moore is standing by Phoebe Bridgers after the two women, along with four others, came forward with tales of abuse against Ryan Adams in a New York Times exposé.
The day after the story broke, Bridgers took to Twitter to thank her supporters. She also sent a message to men in the music industry who knew about Adams' behavior, or the behavior of other abusive men in music, and did nothing.
"It's been a weird week and I wanted to say a couple things," the "Motion Sickness" singer wrote. "Thank you from my whole f---ing heart to my friends, my bands, my mom."
Bridgers noted that "they all supported and validated me" and "told me what had happened was f---ed up and wrong, and that I was right to feel wrong about it." The singer said she "couldn't have done this" without that support.
She added, "Ryan had a network too. Friends, bands, people he worked with. None of them held him accountable. They told him, by what they said or by what they didn't, that what he was doing was okay. They validated him. He couldn't have done this without them. Guys, if your friend is acting f---ed up, call them out. If they're actually your friend, they'll listen. That's the way it all gets better."
Moore showed her support by adding a comment to Bridgers' post.
"Spot on," she wrote, along with "love you," written out using emojis.
The "Candy" singer was married to Adams for close to six years. She filed for divorce in January 2015, and then came forward with claims of psychological abuse and controlling behavior. Bridgers echoed many of the same sentiments in the Times expose, telling the outlet "there was a mythology around him" and that "it seemed like he had the power to propel people forward."
Bridgers met him when she was 20, and said their working relationship turned romantic – and abusive – shortly thereafter. She said in the exposé that Adams was obsessive and emotionally abusive toward her, threatening suicide if she didn't respond to his texts immediately. After she ended the relationship, Bridgers said that Adams started avoiding releasing the music they released together and declined a previous offer to allow her to open his concerts.
"Then, the first day, he asked me to bring him something in his hotel room," she recalled, revealing that he eventually invited her to open a few 2017 tour dates for him. "I came upstairs and he was completely nude."
For her part, Moore said Adams would tell her things like, "'you're not a real musician, because you don't play an instrument.'" She said "music was a point of control for him," adding the he'd sometimes offer to record things for her, and refuse to follow through or replace her with different artists.
Adams has apologized for some allegations against him, and denied many others.

What are we missing? Is there a key link we skipped, or a part of the story we got wrong?
Let us know — we're counting on you to help Encyclo get better.
Fwix was a local news and information aggregator and search service.
The site was launched in August 2008 by Darian Shirazi with data from about 25 cities in the United States and Canada. It now serves more than 200 cities, including in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. The company is based in San Francisco and has 13 employees. It raised $2.75 million in initial funding in 2008.
Fwix automatically aggregates posts from local media sites, blogs, and review sites, similar to the hyperlocal site Outside.In. It indexes location based on a system that searches online text for mentions of locations.
The site includes a social media toolbar that allows users to share story after they've clicked through to an outside site.
Fwix's revenue comes primarily from paid search and customized news packages. In 2009, it launched AdWire, a revenue-sharing advertising system for local bloggers. The shift was a move to better compete for advertising dollars and web searchers against AOL's Patch.
Fwix expanded its scope in mid-2010 to include status updates, events, weather, ad listings, reviews and concerts in addition to news, and launched a local search feature for that content in July 2010.
Fwix has released an API allowing other companies to integrate its news stream into their sites and apps. It has a partnership with The New York Times Co. to put its news feeds on each of the company's newspaper websites.
In 2009, Fwix launched an iPhone app that allows users to submit automatically geotagged posts, photos and videos to its local feeds.
Fwix released a local news feed app for the iPad, as well as iPhone apps for seven cities.
Fwix evolved from a content aggregator into a place database, and in 2012 it evolved further into "sales intelligence platform" called Radius.

ChemicalGuys.eu - BUFX_116_HEX6, Black Hex Logic Quantum Finishing Pads spread the perfect coat of glaze, sealant or wax over any paint.
Why Buy This Product? |
About Hex-Logic Quantum Pads
Quantum Hex-Logic Buffing Pads manipulate physics to deliver better polishing results. Black Quantum Finishing Pads have no cut, and are perfect for spreading final sealant and wax coats over painted finishes. Use the Black Quantum Pad to spread the perfect coat of cream sealants and waxes like JetSeal or Butter Wet Wax over freshly-polished paint finishes. The new Quantum design represents a great leap forward in polishing pad technology. Innovative new foam polishing pads smoothly transfer power from the polishing machine into paint while minimizing heat, wear and tear, and user fatigue. High endurance Quantum pads are designed for dual action polishers, long-throw orbital machines, and high speed rotary buffers. Quantum Hex-Logic Pads combine new pad geometry with tried-and-true Hex-Logic grooves to ensure maximum coverage, enhanced cooling, and fast and efficient work. R&D fitted the new Quantum pads with a more durable and breathable hook and loop interface plate for a stronger bond that conducts heat away from the machine and pad. The precision-cut Race Face creates a gradual tapered profile to spread out compression from the user's hands and reduce wear and tear on the foam pad. Improved manufacturing techniques, adhesives, and materials ensure that Quantum Hex-Logic Pads last longer for better polishing results job after job. By understanding the physics of polishing, Quantum Hex-Logic engineers extended the lifespan and efficiency of Quantum polishing pads by adding a Precision Port vent hole. Venting the pad where it spins the fastest reduces torque stresses on the material and channels heat away from the hottest part of the pad. Quantum polishing pads come in the full Hex-Logic color spectrum, so there's a Quantum Pad for every compounding, polishing, and finishing job on any vehicle. Pick up the new Quantum Hex-Logic buffing and polishing pads for a polishing experience that changes everything.
Use Black Quantum Pads For Finishing With Sealant And Wax
Black Quantum Pads are extra light duty finishing pads. While cutting and polishing pads remove paint to restore gloss and shine, finishing pads have no cut and only spread the perfect coat of sealant or wax for protection against the elements and added shine. The soft spreading action of Black Quantum Pads is perfect for applying the perfect coat of sealant or wax with minimal product waste. Use Black Quantum pads to spread the perfect coat of synthetic sealants like JetSeal or M-Seal, or natural carnauba waxes like Butter Wet Wax, or soft paste waxes like Lava, Black Wax,or White Wax. Spreading sealant and wax by machine uses the smallest amount of product for maximum results with minimal product use. When used correctly, finishing pads can use one bottle to seal or wax dozens of vehicles by machine.
Buffing With Physics: Pads Designed To Take The Heat
Traditional buffing pad designs can't take the physical stresses from polishing. Regular foam pads are prone to failures in the hook and loop backing system, internal foam breakdown, and burning and melting from high speed rotation. While old school rotary polishers spin on one axis and create even stresses across a buffing pad, modern dual action machines spin and oscillate and create extra stresses and strain. With dual action mechanisms oscillating between 2mm and 26mm, extra friction and torque strain on the foam can be immense. Quantum engineers designed the new buffing pads with a Precision Port center-cut hole to reduce stresses and heat buildup in the center of the pad. The pad's center experiences the most torque stress and heat buildup, so venting the pad there eliminates the greatest tearing forces and heat that destroys pads and machines. New hook and loop backing material channels in fresh air through vented TORQ backing plates, and cools the polishing foam and machine polisher at the same time. Traditional foam pads have a recessed step-down profile from backing pad to foam buffing side; this design ensures the backing plate never touches the vehicle, but it is prone to wear from heavy-handed user input on the buffing machine. Quantum pads use a gradual Race Face tapered profile for one unbroken line from backing pad to foam buffing surface; this design spreads out any forces from the user pressing down on the machine and saves the pad from excess wear and tear. Quantum buffing pads are designed to be the best polishing pads for any professional or enthusiast detailer.
Fastest Acting Pads To Date
Machine polishers use controlled friction to gently remove damaged paint and expose a perfectly smooth and shiny surface. The combination of buffing pad, machine speed, and polishing compound affects the amount of heat generated, and how much paint is cut away. The all new Quantum polishing pads are engineered and designed to generate the safest and most efficient cutting power on today's powerful dual action and high speed rotary polishers. Quantum Pads cut quickly to remove deep defects, swirls, scratches, and oxidation, then refine the finish to restore gloss, reflection, and shine to any color paint finish. Traditional buffing pads can generate too much heat when used incorrectly, which harms paint finishes and destroys the pads themselves. Quantum Pads use advanced backing material to draw in cool air through vented backing plates, a Precision Port center hole to dissipate excess heat and torque forces, and tried and tested Hex-Logic grooves to spread product evenly and draw in fresh air as the pad rotates. The bowed Race Face profile increases buffing surface area and spreads buffing forces evenly across the backing pad for reduced strain and wear and tear. All these features deliver the fastest foam pad cut while reducing excess heat and torque tearing concerns. Quantum polishing Pads are the new standard for foam polishing pads on today's newest and fastest buffing machines.
