PrimaCreator™ EasyPrint FLEX 95A Blue
EasyPrint FLEX TPU is our latest flex material with focus on durability, flexibility and ease of use. It is a TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethene) and is one of the most common used polymers for flexible materials. TPU has many great benefits as it has minimal warping, low shrinkage, is very durable and resistant to most chemicals and oils.
EasyPrint FLEX TPU has a shore value of 95 A which you can compare to the rubber heel of a shoe or a shopping cartwheel. Thanks to the relative high shore hardness it`s also very easy to use with most printers. Even with printers that doesn`t have a direct drive, like Ultimaker or BCN3D Sigma for instance.
The "semi flex" formula in our material is wonderful. You can control the print with infill. For instance, if you use less infill you will get a flexible, almost collapsible structure, that you can squeeze together but it will always return to its previous shape. If you use more infill you will get a print that is more like hard rubber (think care tire). This, of course, opens for a very wide range of applications such as handles for bikes, shock absorbers, rubber seals, and insoles for shoes. Our TPU boasts with a massive 400% elongation at break.
Due to the very low shrinkage EasyPrint FLEX TPU is very easy to use in all FDM/FFF printers. The chances of warping are very small with EasyPrint FLEX and it works well without a heated build plate, but for larger prints and the absolute best results we recommend a heated build plate. A temperature setting of 40-60°C, and a coat of PrimaFIX will make for a very good adhesion.
Please keep in mind that TPU is hydroscopic, meaning that it will absorb water if not stored correctly in a bag with silica gel bags or similar. If this should happen, you can always dry it in your oven for about 1 hour in 70° C and the TPU will be as good as new.
Flex materials is best printed in slow speeds around 15-30mm/s.Tips for good results:
- Print in low speeds, 15-30mm/s
- Use heated bed if you have one
- Keep the filament dry at all times

Anders Hove Returns to GENERAL HOSPITAL as Cesar Faison, Duke Lavery Is Alive!
Robin (Kimberly McCullough) was shocked on Monday's GENERAL HOSPITAL when the identity of the man who has been wearing the Duke Lavery mask was revealed (following Friday's incredible cliffhanger). SPOILER below so don't read until you watch!
As many predicted, it was Cesar Faison, pretending to be Duke in order to get close to Anna (Finola Hughes). Actor Anders Hove has returned to GENERAL HOSPITAL.
Faison to Robin: "I'm not that money everybody thinks I am."
The entire episode was a joy to watch including Monica (Leslie Charleson) slapping Carly (Laura Wright) after she called Dante to come arrest A.J. Then it ended with another shocker as Faison told Robin he had one more loose end to tied, then entered another room down the hall where Duke (Ian Buchanan) really was alive and tied to a hospital bed being held hostage.
And one more familiar face returns later in the week. Check out this new GH promo:

Easy Bake Set-Up Still Life
Power tools are necessary when you cannot find a single normal screwdriver in your house
Playing with my Easy Bake Oven today!Power tools are necessary when you cannot find a single normal screwdriver in your house
The reasons are simple: I promised Mother Humble I would blog about her oh-so-hilarious gift and I am running low on essential baking ingredients. I'm nearly over the whole spider-episode I spoke of yesterday, so hopefully I'll be out of the house and restocking the Humble Household with necessary ingredients soon.
So today we're tackling my childhood dream of Easy Bake layer cakes. Equipped with cake mix, oven, light-bulb and power-tools we're making the twice branded Easy Bake Betty Crocker Party Cake. Complete with party-inducing sprinkles in the batter.
Let's start with the prep...
What?! The parchment cake rounds for easy bake pans shouldn't surprise you. If I had tiny insulated baking strips I would use those too.
Parchment is a necessary insurance policy against light-bulb bonded cake batter and the horror of trying to frost a pile of jagged cake chunks. Parchment is what really makes baking easy.
Eight year-old's would use parchment too, they just don't know they need it yet.
Now we have the cake mix. Just add water! Two teaspoons to be exact. Does cake get any easier than that?
When is Nasbro going to make a Genoise mix for me?
So I add my water... and it looks like cake paste.
Lucky for me, the recipe provides some instructions"
"If the batter seems dry, add water one drop at a time until it is the consistency of cake batter."Oh well that's no problem. Cake batter only has one consistency, right? I just add a random amount of water to the mix, until it achieves a consistency Nasbro thinks that I would think it should look like. Crystal clear.
Now I understand the "results may vary" warning on the package.
So I add some more water, about a teaspoon, and pour my batter into my pan. Now we're ready to easy bake. So I push the pan into the oven, using my burns-are-bad safety-stick and wait the prescribed 10 minutes. Then I shove my safety-stick into the slot again and push the cake into the "cooling area".
Unfortunately the trip through the easy bake contraption resulted in the top of the cake being sheared off my the same flaps that prevent me from sticking my arm into the device.
Boo! Not only does the device curtail my compulsive desire to touch dangerous things, it mangles my cake.
Maybe they need to make the opening taller? Or maybe my cake is just too fluffy and perfect? Perhaps I am just that good. I'm a easy bake master!
Okay, so I messed up the frosting. How does one mess up a just-add-water frosting?
You add too much water.
Apparently Ms. Humble cannot read. Something you may believe, given the rather slapdash proof-reading work I do on the blog. Still, I could have sworn the "recipe" called for 1 1/2 teaspoons per package, but apparently it is just a 1/2 teaspoon. Whoops.
So I resuscitate my over-hydrated frosting dust with some powdered sugar and whipped it into something I could slather my cakes with.
This was a tough cake to frost. So delicate I really couldn't do a proper crumb coat or frosting application. So I just gently daubed on the frosting. It suppose it looks respectable enough, given the tools I'm working with.
Speaking of tools... am I supposed to cut with this? This bizarre Lilliputian, blade-less knife? Forget about it. Someone get me my Global!
Though I'm all for the mini cake server. I need this.
So how does it taste?
This is not a great cake. Ms. Humble's inner child is a little disappointed.
Something about the cake's texture is off. It seems spongy. However the real problem is the taste and aroma. The cake has this odd, lingering flavor. Like a combination of powdered gelatin and the water leftover from poaching eggs.
Pass. Maybe the cookie mixes are better?
Or maybe I should stick to baking cakes the old fashioned way.

Thumbing through my feeds today, I came across a rather disturbing post from John Harrington over at Photo Business News and Forums. Essentially, if you are covering Obama's election night event in Chicago, you have to pay anywhere from $715 to $1815 for press credentials.
Harrington points out that it's not unusual "to have the media paying for the construction of risers, tents, and so forth"; however, charging media for access alone is offensive. Chicago Business points out that:
The only free admissions are for a "general media" area. But, the memo says, "Please note that the general media area is outdoors, unassigned and may have obstructed views . . . standing room only."
Lynn Sweet, a columnist and the Washington Bureau Chief for the Chicago Sun-Times, also chimed in on the issue noting:
This is an outrageous pay to play plan that caters to national elite outlets with deep pockets.
While the comments on the news posts linked to above get pretty intense and are clearly politically charged, I'd like to ask your opinion about charging for media credentials for access to an event.
Keep in mind, this isn't the first time that we've see press credentials become an issue in this campaign. Some press members were put off by the fact that Obama's press credentials carry a big slogan "Change We Can Believe In" above the smaller-sized word "Press". (Discussion here.)
Another poster in the same discussion pointed out that "at McCain events, all you have to do is show your regular press credentials at the door, and they give you the event's press pass. No pre-registration necessary. Not so with Obama's campaign." Finally, CBS reported on McCain's spoof press credentials, which took a stab at Obama's purported favor with the media.
So, what are your thoughts on the press credential issues?

Mobile phone radiation may affect memory performance in adolescents
donderdag, 13 december 2018 - Categorie: Onderzoeken
Bron: medicalxpress.com/news/2018-07-mobile-affect-memory-adolescents.html
20 juli 2018
by Martin Röösli, Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute
Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields may have adverse effects on the development of memory performance of specific brain regions exposed during mobile phone use. These are the findings of a study involving nearly 700 adolescents in Switzerland. The investigation, led by the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), will be published on Thursday, July 19, 2018 in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
The rapid evolution of information and communication technologies (ICT) goes along with an increase in exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) in daily life. The most relevant exposure source to the brain is the use of a mobile phone close to the head. Several studies have been conducted to identify potential health effects related to RF-EMF, though results have remained inconclusive.
The research conducted by scientists at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) looked at the relationship between exposure to RF-EMF from wireless communication devices and memory performance in adolescents. The study follows up a report published in the scientific journal Environment International in 2015 with twice the sample size and more recent information on the absorption of RF-EMF in adolescents' brains during different types of wireless communication device use. These are the world's first epidemiological studies to estimate cumulative RF-EMF brain dose in adolescents.
Media usage and brain exposure in young adults
The study to be published on 19 July 2018 found that cumulative RF-EMF brain exposure from mobile phone use over one year may have a negative effect on the development of figural memory performance in adolescents, confirming prior results published in 2015. Figural memory is mainly located in the right brain hemisphere and association with RF-EMF was more pronounced in adolescents using the mobile phone on the right side of the head. ''This may suggest that indeed RF-EMF absorbed by the brain is responsible for the observed associations.'' said Martin Röösli, Head of Environmental Exposures and Health at Swiss TPH.
Other aspects of wireless communication use, such as sending text messages, playing games or browsing the Internet cause only marginal RF-EMF exposure to the brain and were not associated with the development of memory performance. ''A unique feature of this study is the use of objectively collected mobile phone user data from mobile phone operators.'' said Röösli. He emphasised that further research is needed to rule out the influence of other factors. ''For instance, the study results could have been affected by puberty, which affects both mobile phone use and the participant's cognitive and behavioural state.''
The data gathered from the Health Effects Related to Mobile phone usE in adolescentS (HERMES) cohort looked at the relationship between exposure to RF-EMF and development of memory performance of almost 700 adolescents over the course of one year. Participants, aged 12 to 17 years, were recruited from 7th to 9th public school grades in urban and rural areas of Swiss-German speaking Switzerland.
Minimising the risk of RF-EMF exposure
The potential effect of RF-EMF exposure to the brain is a relatively new field of scientific inquiry. ''It is not yet clear how RF-EMF could potentially affect brain processes or how relevant our findings are in the long-term,'' said Röösli. ''Potential risks to the brain can be minimised by using headphones or the loud speaker while calling, in particular when network quality is low and the mobile phone is functioning at maximum power.''

Recaptcha Not Working in Firefox Specifically.

Recaptcha isn't working in Firefox. It works in Chrome, Opera, and Edge with no issues, it will either just go to a check mark or open the window with the pictures to choose, on both regular pages and on the Google Recaptcha Demo site Google Recaptcha Demo site. But when I load a page that requires Recaptcha in Firefox, it just spins forever. It was working fine a few hours ago, and I didn't change any settings or anything in Firefox. I was filling out a job application and it worked fine, then I went to another job application and Recaptcha won't work at all, even on the Recaptcha Demo site.
I'm on version 125.0.3 (64-bit), on Windows 10. Not using a VPN or anything like that, just a standard Ethernet connection, with whatever Charter gives me.
Steps I've tried, none of which have helped:
1. Cleared Cookies. 2. Restart Browser. 3. Restart Computer. 4. Restart Modem and Router. 5. Opening Firefox in troubleshooting mode. 6. Ensured Firefox was up to date. 7. Reinstalling Firefox. 8. Turned Connection Settings to no proxy. 9. Turned off Enhanced Tracking Protection. (It's set on standard otherwise, and I didn't change it) 10. Release/Renew IP via Command Prompt.
I'm genuinely at a loss of what to do, after a couple of hours of searching around for solutions. I don't get how it just stopped working in the span of like ten minutes when I didn't change any settings or anything. Firefox is my main browser and it would be a tremendous pain to have to use another browser for any pages that require Recaptcha.
Any assistance or advice to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated!

George Plimpton once wrote, "The smaller the ball used in the sport, the better the book." But this doesn't account for boxing, a sport that word-for-word has produced more great writing than any other. For hard evidence, look no further than "At the Fights: American Writers on Boxing," an outstanding new collection edited by George Kimball and John Schulian.
All of the heavyweights are here–from Jack London, James Baldwin and Norman Mailer, to A.J. Liebling, W.C. Heinz, Red Smith and Jimmy Cannon. And that's just for starters. How about Gay Talese, Pete Hamill, George Plimpton, Pete Dexter, David Remnick and Mark Kriegel, not to mention the veterans of the boxing scene like Larry Merchant, Mark Kram, Vic Ziegel, Pat Putnam and Richard Hoffer.
I'm not a huge boxing fan but I adore boxing writing and this is the finest anthology I've ever come across.
Check out the Library of America's website for a fascinating and in-depth interview with Kimball and Schulian.
Here's Kimball:
The wonder shouldn't be that there are two Liebling pieces, but that there are only two. (He and Schulberg have the only double-barreled entries in the anthology.) If I'd been compiling that list, The Sweet Science would be No.1, and A Neutral Corner, Liebling's other collection of (mostly) New Yorker pieces No. 2.
Putting At the Fights together was a painstaking, year-long process that was often like a jigsaw puzzle, because sometimes the decision to include a par- ticular piece would, due to subject matter or tone or approach, displace others. John and I made a conscious decision early on to hold Liebling in reserve. We knew whichever of his pieces we wound up using, they were going to work. Our initial inclination, for instance, had been to include Liebling's terrific account of his visit to Sonny Liston's training camp, but if we'd used that we probably wouldn't have been able to include Joe Flaherty's wonderful "Amen to Sonny," and if we hadn't used Liebling's "Kearns by a Knockout" we'd probably have had to find two more pieces to adequately address Doc Kearns and Sugar Ray Robinson. It was sometimes like playing Whack-A-Mole, because every time you'd hammer one down, three more would pop up somewhere else. But in that respect Liebling was a constant security blanket, our wild-card, because of our unshaken confidence that whatever we wound up using was going to be great.
Anyone who has written about boxing for the last fifty years owes a great debt of gratitude to Joe Liebling, so yes, his influence has been both pervasive and profound, but woe be unto the conscious imitator. Any writer who sets out trying to write his own "Liebling piece"—and there have been a few—is inex- orably doomed to fall flat on his face.
And Schulian:
It's too much to say that the best boxing stories are about losers. That argument is contradicted time and again throughout the book. But losers and eccentrics and guys who never quite made it to the mountaintop have inspired some classic writing. You want to weep for Primo Carnera after read- ing what Paul Gallico had to say about the way he was used as a patsy and a stooge and a pretend heavyweight champion. And then you have Stanley Ketchel and Bummy Davis, two crazy-tough fighters who would have been swallowed by the mists of time if it weren't for the stories written about them. Was John Lardner's piece on Ketchel better than the fighter himself? Absolutely. And Bill Heinz's on Davis? Without a doubt. And the amazing thing is that Lardner and Heinz never met their subjects, both of whom were prematurely dispatched from this life by gunshot. But Lardner and Heinz were intrepid reporters as well as stunning writers, and they proved it with their renderings of the two fighters' hearts and souls.

Don't sleep, pound-for-pound, this will be the most rewarding book–never mind sports book–you'll buy this spring.

Lawndale Drug Crime Defense Attorneys
Here in the United States, drugs have been the top reason why people get arrested for the past 10 years. According to data collected by the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, a total of 1,654,282 drug offense arrests were made in 2018 alone. 224,982 of those arrests were for drug sale or manufacture and 1,429,300 were for possession.
The drug laws and policies here in California are a complex and touchy matter. If you or a loved one is facing a drug crime accusation, arrest, or charge, having a skilled and experienced drug crime defense attorney by your side is the wisest thing to do.
For the best defense, call Winfield Law!

Call Winfield Law at 310-742-8949 for a Free Consultation!
Common Lawndale Drug Charges
The state of California takes drug crimes very seriously. This is why, in the past years, it has been continuously enacting efforts to crack down on drug distribution and diversion. Here are drug crimes that California drug laws seek to extinguish:
- Possession of drugs
- Possession of illicit drugs with intent to sell or distribute
- Drug trafficking
- Drug manufacturing, growing, or producing
- Diversion of prescription drugs (prescription fraud)
With penalties ranging from monetary fines to incarceration, a drug crime conviction definitely not something you'd want to have on your record. Unfortunately, California drug laws are just too complex, contentious, and confusing to navigate alone. Penalties vary depending on the specific circumstances of your case, such as the kind and amount of drugs linked to you, the severity of the offense, your intent with the drugs you have, and even your criminal history. These factors determine whether you'll be dealing with misdemeanor penalties or full-blown felony charges.
This is exactly why Winfield Law exists. With established and experienced attorneys looking out for you, you know you've got sharp insight, years' worth of legal knowledge, and aggressive representation by your side. Our trusted drug crime defense attorneys see to it that salient (positive) aspects of your case are taken into consideration.
Winfield Law wants to achieve the best possible result for your case—a dropped charge, a lighter sentence, or minimized penalties—and we are committed to doing exactly that!
What To Do When Arrested For Drug Crimes
Getting arrested for a drug crime is tough. You are faced with the fact that you could possibly compromise your career, pay penalties, spend less time with loved ones, and even lose your freedom should you get convicted. It is a stressful and confusing situation for anyone to be in. However, it's important to remember that you have the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
You don't have to prove that you're innocent, it's the prosecutor's job to prove you're not. However, there are a few things you can do if you get arrested that can help your drug crime defense attorney protect your rights later on:
- Keep calm and maintain decorum. Literally fighting for your rights may sound like a great idea at the moment, but it won't do you much good. It may even hurt your case and put you at a disadvantage. Be as calm and polite as possible in your words and in your actions.
- Respectfully refuse to answer any question. As it's said in the Miranda Rights, you have the right to stay silent. Police officers may ask you questions that can lead to incriminating answers—you definitely don't want that. To keep yourself from saying anything that could land you in hot water, politely refuse to speak to the officers until you have met and spoken with your drug crime defense attorney.
- Contact your lawyer as soon as possible. Once you arrive at the police station, you will be given one phone call before you're brought to a jail cell. If you have a defense attorney, call them up and explain your situation. Or you can call family or loved ones who can look for a lawyer for you.
You may not get away with the offense scot-free, but knowing what to do and what not to do if you get arrested can definitely give your lawyer a lot to work with when it comes to safeguarding your rights.

In keeping with the goals of the NMC Summer Conference (June 10-14), Oblinger's address focused on where and how Web 2.0 and "Learning 3.0" will bring new opportunities for learners that will accommodate preferences and the need to work in a collaborative dynamic.
Stressing the notion of "contextual constructivism," Oblinger discussed how students now expect to connect with each other and to participate in experiential learning activities. Learning takes place as much in informal settings as in the formal "classroom" (face to face or virtual), in those situations, social networks are of paramount importance.
Learning environments have changed, asserted Oblinger, and models of ideal instruction have followed. For example, instead of passively reading texts, students prefer to work with the information. A culture of participatory knowledge creation has emerged, and amateurs are often accepted as authorities (wikis, etc.), and information is viewed as something to be mashed up and integrated with web applications.
While the new paradigm has truly opened new opportunities for learners, it is dependent upon access, cautioned Oblinger. America needs a broadband policy in order to assure universal access.

There are now more than a million workers missing from the workforce compared to pre-pandemic figures, according to a report published by the IPPR think tank.
About 400,000 of these are no longer working because of health factors relating to the pandemic, including long Covid, according to the IPPR.
The report suggests that unresolved, this 'will drag down economic activity this year by an estimated £8 billion'.
The nation's health affects the economy in more ways than keeping workers away from their jobs. Poor health can affect productivity and promote chronic stress. Inhabitants of economically deprived areas of the country show poorer health, have fewer job opportunities and tend to be paid less.
Dame Sally Davies, co-chair of the Commission on Health and Prosperity, said:
'A fairer country is a healthier one, and a healthier country is a more prosperous one. While the restrictions have eased, the scars of the pandemic still remain deep on the nation's health and our economy.
'Not only are we facing a severe cost of living crisis, driven in part by pandemic induced inflation, we're also experiencing a workforce shortage driven by poor health that's holding back the economy. It has never been more important to put good health at the heart of our society and economy – and our commission will bring forward a plan to do just that.'

Imagine a war in which you are vastly outnumbered by an enemy that is utterly relentless – attacking you is all it does. The intro to another Terminator movie? No, just another day for microbes such as bacteria and archaea, which face a never-ending onslaught from viruses and invading strands of nucleic acid known as plasmids.
To survive this onslaught, microbes deploy a variety of defense mechanisms, including an adaptive-type nucleic acid-based immune system that revolves around a genetic element known as CRISPR, which stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats.
About the image: The crystal structure of the Csy4 enzyme (blue) bound to a crRNA molecule (orange). The crRNA contains nucletotide sequences that match those of foreign DNA from a virus or plasmid, enabling it to target and silence the invaders. Image credit: Image courtesy of the Doudna group
Through the combination of CRISPR and squads of CRISPR-associated – "Cas" – proteins, microbes are able to utilize small customized RNA molecules to silence critical portions of an invader's genetic message and acquire immunity from similar invasions in the future. To better understand how this microbial immune system works, scientists have needed to know more about how CRISPR's customized small RNA molecules get produced. Answers have now been provided by a team of researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC) Berkeley.
In a study led by biochemist Jennifer Doudna, the research team used protein crystallography beamlines at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source to produce an atomic-scale crystal structure model of an endoribonuclease called "Csy4." Doudna and her colleagues have identified Csy4 as the enzyme in prokaryotes that initiates the production of CRISPR-derived RNAs (crRNAs), the small RNA molecules that target and silence invading viruses and plasmids.
"Our model reveals that Csy4 and related endoribonucleases from the same CRISPR/Cas subfamily utilize an exquisite recognition mechanism to discriminate crRNAs from other cellular RNAs to ensure the selective production of crRNA for acquired immunity in bacteria," Doudna says. "We also found functional similarities between the RNA recognition mechanisms in Cys4 and Dicer, the enzyme that plays a critical role in eukaryotic RNA interference."
Doudna is a leading authority on RNA molecular structures who holds joint appointments with Berkeley Lab's Physical Biosciences Division and UC Berkeley's Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and Department of Chemistry. She is also an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). The results of this latest research on CRISPR are reported in the journal Science in a paper titled "Sequence- and structure-specific RNA processing by a CRISPR endonuclease." Co-authoring the paper with Doudna were Rachel Haurwitz, Martin Jinek, Blake Wiedenheft and Kaihong Zhou.
CRISPR is a unit of DNA, usually on a microbe's chromosome, made up of "repeat" elements, base-pair sequences ranging from 30 to 60 nucleotides in length, separated by "spacer" elements, variable sequences that are also from 30 to 60 nucleotides in length. CRISPR units are found in about 40-percent of all bacteria whose genomes have been sequenced, and about 90-percent of archaea. A microbe might have several CRISPR loci within its genome and each locus might contain between four and 100 CRISPR repeat-spacer units. Doudna and her colleagues studied CRISPR in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common bacterium that is ubiquitous in the environment.
Rachel Haurwitz, a graduate student in Doudna's research group and the first author on the Science paper, explains how the CRISPR/Cas immunity system works.
Haurwitz says the CRISPR/cas system for silencing foreign DNA in prokaryotes is analogous to the way in which short interfering or siRNAs correct genetic problems in eukaryotes. Over time, the CRISPR/cas system will build up inheritable DNA-encoded immunity from future invasions by the same types of viruses and plasmids.

With their crystal structure model of the Csy4 enzyme bound to its cognate RNA, which features a resolution of 1.8 Angstroms, the Berkeley CRISPR research team has shown that Csy4 makes sequence-specific interactions in the major groove of the CRISPR RNA repeat stem-loop. Together with electrostatic contacts to the phosphate backbone, these interactions enable Csy4 to selectively bind to and cleave pre-crRNAs using phylogenetically conserved residues of the amino acids serine and histidine in the active site.
"Our model explains sequence- and structure-specific processing by a large family of CRISPR-specific endoribonucleases," Doudna says.
Doudna and her colleagues produced their 1.8 Angstrom resolution crystallographic structure using the experimental end stations of Beamlines 8.2.1 and 8.3.1 at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source (ALS). Both beamlines are powered by superconducting bending magnets – "superbends" – and both feature state-of-the-art multiple-wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) and macromolecular crystallography (MX) capabilities. Beamline 8.2.1 is part of the suite of protein crystallography beamlines that comprise the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology.
"The ALS and its protein crystallography beamlines continue to be a critical resource for our research, " Doudna says.
The crRNAs used by the CRISPR/cas system for the targeted interference of foreign DNA join the growing ranks of small RNA molecules that mediate a variety of processes in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Understanding how these small RNA molecules work can improve our basic understanding of cell biology and provide important clues to the fundamental role of RNA in the evolution of life.
Says Doudna, "By investigating how bacteria produce and use small RNAs for selective gene targeting, we hope to gain insight into the fundamental features of the pathways that have proven evolutionarily useful for genetic control, both in the bacterial world and in the world of eukaryotes. Right now it looks like bacteria and eukaryotes have evolved entirely distinct pathways by which RNAs are used for gene regulation and that is pretty amazing!"

See Understanding Techniques for WCAG Success Criteria for important information about the usage of these informative techniques and how they relate to the normative WCAG 2.0 success criteria. The Applicability section explains the scope of the technique, and the presence of techniques for a specific technology does not imply that the technology can be used in all situations to create content that meets WCAG 2.0.
All technologies that provide forms.
This technique relates to:
The objective of this technique is to allow users to recover from errors made when placing an order by providing them with a period of time during which they can cancel or change the order. In general, a contract or an order is a legal commitment and cannot be canceled. However, a Web site may choose to offer this capability, and it provides a way for users to recover from errors.
The Web content would need to tell the user how long the cancellation period is after submitting the form and what the procedure would be to cancel the order. The cancellation procedure may not be possible online. It may, for instance, require written notice be sent to an address listed on the Web page.
After submitting the form, the user is informed of the length of the cancellation period and the procedure for canceling the transaction. It's best to provide the cancellation procedure at the same website where the transaction was submitted so that it is as easy to cancel as it was to submit and to accommodate users who may be unable to use other mechanisms. But, if necessary, the cancellation procedure may be provided through some other mechanism or combination of mechanisms as long as it has equivalent cross-disability accessibility. In this case, users are warned prior to submitting the form that they will not be able to cancel their order online.
An online shopping Web site lets users cancel purchases up to 24 hours after they have been made. The Web site explains their policy, and includes a summary of the policy on the purchase receipt emailed to the user. After 24 hours, the purchase will be shipped to the user and can no longer be canceled.
A Web site sells custom sports jackets that are made to order. The customer chooses the fabric and provides body measurements for the tailor. The Web site gives customers up to three days to change or cancel an order. Once the material has been cut to the customer's specifications, it is no longer possible to change or cancel the order. The company policy is described on its Web site.
Check that the Web page describes the time period to cancel or change an order.
Check that the Web page describes the process for canceling or changing an order.
Checks #1 and #2 are true.
If this is a sufficient technique for a success criterion, failing this test procedure does not necessarily mean that the success criterion has not been satisfied in some other way, only that this technique has not been successfully implemented and can not be used to claim conformance.

A new Pew poll of reporters and editors found a great deal of pessimism about the prospects for the newspaper industry. At one point, the article reports the poll's finding that: "about three-quarters of the editors who took part said they would have serious objections to accepting direct support from either the government or interest groups, and a similar number said their organizations had not seriously thought about taking donations from nonprofit groups." Of course there are other ways in which new media can be supported. Currently the government supports newspapers by granting them copyright monopolies. Without this special protection anyone would be able to use content without paying for it, including for commercial purposes. So these editors are already taking government support, even if they don't realize it. In the Internet era this mechanism of financing newspapers is obviously no longer adequate. It is striking that Pew failed to consider any of the obvious alternative mechanisms in its poll. The article could have also discussed such alternatives.

You're reading an outdated article. Please go to the recent issues to find up-to-date content.
For low-voltage contractors, keeping up with the technological changes in the voice/data/video industry means continuing education is necessary. To gain or hold a piece of the evolving market, contractors must focus on all areas of the industry—general technical know-how, business training, manufacturer certification programs and the latest technological innovations.
Contractors such as Schaeffer Electric Co., St. Louis, know all too well the hurdles related to staying trained.
"The greatest challenge facing the contractor today for low-voltage training is keeping up with the pace of changes and new technology in the industry," said Timothy J. Chettle, president. "Your estimators and crew have to keep on their toes."
The challenge isn't just for contractors, but also for those who strive to keep them up to date. Nearly as soon as the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee's (NJATC) Telecommunications Curriculum Development Training Program releases new training content for coursework, the content is on the way to becoming out-of-date and obsolete, said Terry C. Coleman, the program's director.
Contractors also face challenges in meeting the need for manufacturer certifications, depending on the products being installed. With so many products on the market, contractors must pick and choose the certifications they will need and send their workers to get trained by those manufacturers. That is no small job, and in addition, they still must get the general training that others provide.
The demand for certifications isn't new. The distributor sales model—which various low-voltage equipment manufacturers traditionally have used—means resellers and distributors also are the installers. While electrical and low-voltage contractors increasingly are taking this role, it isn't the traditional model. The distributor sales model minimizes the numbers of participants. Therefore, to get hired for jobs installing and maintaining products from these manufacturers, contractors must send their workers to the manufacturers' own training programs.
"Even if the contractor has a highly skilled workforce that may be trained in the installation and testing of a system or product, they may still have to send people for training [at the contractor's cost] to meet any certification requirements for knowledge they already have," Coleman said.
While contractors have told Coleman that this is just the cost of doing business, it is still a detriment for many.
"Could you imagine if this was the model used on the electrical side of the house? A certification from every manufacturer of electrical receptacles or switches, motor starts or relays, switchgear or transformers, etc.?" he asked.
Contractors that have been into low-voltage work for some time have learned to meet the manufacturers' needs. For new electrical contractors that want to get into these markets, the certification requirements can be frustrating.
Onto the next
The scope and focus of basic training is also moving beyond low-voltage cable. Today, most low-voltage systems don't require conduit or other types of raceway to be installed. Instead, switches and other methods of lighting control are becoming low-voltage devices. They no longer connect to branch-circuit wiring, so the National Electrical Code no longer requires them to be placed in raceways. Contractors need to overcome and adapt to these kinds of changes.
"There is still plenty of money to be made and work that needs to be done. My concern is who is going to do it. Training is still the key to getting into new markets," Coleman said.
The NJATC's curriculum now covers the rapidly growing wireless area: Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, distributed antenna systems (DAS) and other such systems.
Class sizes growing
While training demands may seem to be growing, so are the options for contractors. A variety of low-voltage training programs are available, both online and in classrooms, nationally and locally. These opportunities can include manufacturer representatives and programs those companies offer, supplier symposiums around the country, union classes by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), publications, webinars, and lunch-and-learns, as a few examples, said Schaeffer Electric's Chettle.
The Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) offers training programs that have grown exponentially in recent years. The association provides both technical and business-oriented classes.
Dave Pedigo, CEDIA's senior director of learning and emerging technologies, said the greatest growth has been on the business side of the course offerings over the past few years. These business courses cover customer relations and project management, and attendance for them is rising each year.
"Part of that is that business owners realize they've weathered the storm economically," Pedigo said. However, owners may find that they are not yet in the position to weather another one. Instead, it is time for many low-voltage contractors to prepare for the expected low-voltage growth and ensure the industry doesn't leave them behind. According to CEDIA's benchmark survey, many low-voltage contractors are more enamored with the technology than running the business side, and that trend may be changing by necessity.
"No one wants to take accounting or finance classes," Pedigo said, adding that the growth in the market and nature of the business, however, is making that increasingly valuable to low-voltage businesses.
When it comes to Internet protocol (IP) and networking, the greater sophistication of installations has made it necessary to update networking classes and make room for the increasing number of enrollees. Both IP and networking "get very complicated very quickly," Pedigo said.
CEDIA, like other providers of training programs, attempts to balance how many old fundamentals should still be offered in training while emerging technologies clamor for attention. To ensure the right coursework is available to those who need it, CEDIA has begun offering the fundamentals online. New technologies more often are taught face to face. For example, individuals can enroll in a class that offers three online classes followed by quizzes to determine whether they have learned the material. If they clear the bar, they can then attend real-life classroom instruction.
"The beauty of that is that, theoretically, everyone is on the same level when they come in," Pedigo said.
Echoing Coleman regarding certification demands, Pedigo said manufacturer product training is still a must, and the CEDIA training program hosts about 10,000 people through a variety of these such programs, a larger number than those who take CEDIA's vendor-neutral programs. He said most individuals take a mix of manufacturer and nonmanufacturer courses.
"I'm a firm believer that education is massively important," Pedigo said. "We've come to a time of hyperchange. Things are changing so quickly with such a huge volume of information to learn, [contractors] can't help but be frustrated at times."
However, for low-voltage contractors, it might be worth the effort.CEDIA's own research has found that revenue in low-voltage installations was up 13 percent last year.
Connected homes will be the area of the greatest growth. According to Cisco Systems, there will be 25 billion devices connected to the Internet in 2015, and the number will have doubled to include everything from standard tablets and phones to wearable technology by 2020. For contractors, that means more training and more revenue ahead.

What is Arthroscopic Frozen Shoulder Release?
An arthroscopic frozen shoulder release is a minimally-invasive shoulder surgery performed to relieve pain and restore normal function using a special instrument called an "arthroscope".
Overview of Frozen Shoulder
A frozen shoulder, also called "adhesive capsulitis", is a painful condition in which the shoulder becomes stiff and inflamed resulting in limited movement of the joint.
The condition occurs when the strong connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint (called the shoulder capsule) becomes thick, tight, and inflamed. This leads to scarring of the capsule making the shoulder bones unable to move freely within the joint. Over time, the shoulder may become hard to move.
The surgery is aimed at releasing the tight capsule in the shoulder joint.
Indications for the Surgery
The main indication for surgery is residual pain or continued stiffness in the shoulder and functional restrictions of the shoulder, even after prolonged conservative management including medications, physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Risk Factors of Frozen Shoulder
The frozen shoulder most commonly affects people who:
- Are aged 40 to 70
- Occurs in women more often than men
- Have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, stroke, etc.
- Had a shoulder injury including fracture or shoulder surgery
- Have had a prolonged period of shoulder immobilization
Preparing for Surgery
Prior to surgery, you will be instructed to:
- Tell your doctor about any medications you are taking
- Not to drink or eat anything the night before the surgery
- Arrange someone to drive you home after the surgery
- Come with clothing that is easy to put on and take off
The Surgery
Arthroscopy to release a frozen shoulder is usually performed on an outpatient basis so you should be able to go home the same day. Just before the surgery, you will be given local or general anesthesia to make you numb to pain or make you sleep as needed.
During surgery:
- Several small incisions are made around the affected shoulder joint.
- An arthroscope is guided to the affected spot to view the joint damage.
- Tiny instruments are inserted through small incisions around your shoulder.
- The tight part of the capsule is cut through and the scar tissue is removed.
- The capsule is divided and released to allow the movement of the shoulder joint.
- The instruments are taken out and the incisions around the shoulder are sutured and a dressing applied.
The surgery usually takes 30 minutes to an hour. Most patients have reported good outcomes with the procedure.
What Happens Immediately After Surgery?
Soon after the surgery, you will be taken to a recovery room where you will rest for about an hour while being monitored.
After Surgery Care
After the surgery, you will be advised to:
- Undergo physical therapy immediately
- Take pain medications at regular intervals
- Keep the site of the procedure bandaged
- Keep the bandage clean and dry
- Splint the arm to keep the capsule stretched (rarely)
Risks or Complications
Rarely, some people may experience continued pain or a stiff shoulder even after prescribed rehabilitation.
Other risks include:
- Infection, nerve or cartilage injury
- Recurrence of frozen shoulder (rare)
The recovery time usually varies from 6 weeks to 3 months and depends on your occupation and compliance with physical therapy.
Your commitment to rehabilitation plays a vital role in your successful recovery and is the key factor in quickly returning to normal activities.
- Reduced or no pain in the shoulder
- Full range of shoulder motion
- Improved quality of life
