Department of Statistics
The department of Statistics is one of the high-ranking department of the country with respect to teaching and research. During the past 40 years, the department has earned for itself an excellent reputation in teaching and research. Besides being well-known world-wide for its contributions, this is the only department in the country which figures in the latest ranking list in the area of 'Econometrics'. Several teachers and students of this department have achieved eminence in India and abroad. Many have secured top positions in university and government administration.
There is an adequate provision for teaching and research in almost all branches of the subject and library, computer and laboratory are very well-equipped for the purpose. The department conducted two summer institutes for college teachers in 1968 and 1971. A refresher course for college and university teachers was also conducted in 1995 and 2001. To enhance the teaching and Research facilities, UGC granted COSIST pragramme in 1992. Many eminent scholars delivered series of lectures under this pragramme.
The department has well trained teachers on its staff with specialization in statistical inference, Bayesian inference, designs of experiments, survey, sampling, econometrics and bio-statistics. Several teachers have been abroad for higher education and under various international exchange programmes. Some of them have also held teaching assignments in foreign universities. Many of faculty members have been invited in seminars and workshops held in India and abroad. One teacher is also honorary faculty member in CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY UNIT of K.G.M.U.
The faculty members are pursuing research in many branches of statistics which include inference, design of experiments, econometrics, survey sampling and medical statistics. The research work of faculty members has been published in well-reputed international national journals. The contributions of at least five faculty members have found place in the standard text books. The faculty members have been honored with fellowship of various national and international societies and academics. At present, department has one fellow of royal statistical society, U.K., and one member of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (U.S.A.). Recently, one of the research students received John Timbergan Award of the International Statistical Institute for his research work.
The department also extends technical assistance to the researchers of other disciplines. People from various departments including Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology, Education, Zoology, Botany, Geology, and Medical Sciences often seek help from the faculty members.

Taylor didn't need to worry about the technical aspects of lighting, but was able to focus instead on showcasing her staff's pilates capabilities. The technology here at Blue Sky allows first and second time camera users to produce high quality professional imagery in half the time with a fraction of the cost. Learn more about Pilates ProWorks
LightGrid Highlighted in Photo District News
How the West is Winning: Spotlight on Los Angeles and San Francisco
By Romy Ashby
"Less is more" is starting to apply to time as well. San Francisco's Blue Sky LightGrid™ is a facility where studio space is often rented for very short blocks of time, and for some relatively new reasons.
"Blue Sky enables the micro-entrepreneur, student or individual to achieve professional results affordably," says owner and longtime photographer Bill Delzell. At Blue Sky, which he's owned for 17 years, he collaborates with his clients in his LightGrid studio. A patented turnkey solution, the LightGrid incorporates touch-screen lighting formulas into a robotically controlled studio where sound, light and capture—for both photography and video production—are seamlessly integrated.
With full green screen capabilities, the LightGrid eliminates hours of costly setup and preparation, once taken for granted as a part of any photo shoot. As a result, Delzell now sees a big demand for hourly use of the space.
Changes in technology have altered not just the photo business, Delzell points out, but the advertising industry itself.
"Adweek's recent article on 'The Tween Machine' summed it up," he says. "The author says this new powerful consumer does not want to be advertised to, they want to be engaged. The 'Second Screen Audience,' which means every screen but TV and cinema, is transforming everything from communications to content to engagement." With this phenomenon, 60 percent of Delzell's shoots are video; the rest are a hybrid of video and stills shot simultaneously.
With the understanding that a rental studio must keep pace with evolving client requirements to be successful, Blue Sky hosts a unique residency program called The Work Yard, which serves multiple purposes. In the studio, newly graduated interdisciplinary students gather to collaborate as a creative team, with a goal of refining and empowering brand strategy. The program offers an affordable solution to companies wanting to build their brands through the social media prism while giving new grads an opportunity to enter the work force with hands-on experience.
"I used to feel accomplished if I made one good image for an advertising client in a day," Delzell says." But, as he reminds the residents, everything that happens in front of the camera is still the domain of the creative individual, and that will never change. "It's an exciting time for image makers of all disciplines," he says. "Rethinking the path to a meaningful and engaging career is vital to anyone hoping to be seen, heard and recognized by this very elusive 21st-century audience."
Intern Austin Heppler in the LightGrid
I had a great time in the LightGrid with this particular model. These images are a little different from my normal portraiture in the way of mood, exposure, and setting of the studio. She is not a professional model, but her energy and openness during the shoot allowed me to capture and direct the mood that I was looking for. Good shoot, and I look forward to working with her in the near future. Check out my website for more example of my work.
University of San Francisco Upward Bound Project
Instructor Rafiki Cai and his students in the Upward Bound project stopped by the Blue Sky LIghtGrid to talk with Bill Delzell about the science of light and how software and robotics can create powerful tools for the production of photography and video. The Upward Bound Project is a program put into place by the University to help high school students get prepared for college majors and careers focused on "STEM" fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Program alumni have graduated from, or currently attend, colleges with some of the nation's best STEM programs.
Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag - Black Beard
Previously we had posted about Ubisoft's upcoming game Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag. Here are some of the images that were shot of the character Black Beard that will appear in the game. Ubisoft has consistently utilized the LightGrid for their still imagery, and the outcomes speak volumes of the quality that can be achieved at Blue Sky.
Pilates ProWorks of San Francisco
The owners and staff of Pilates ProWorks San Francisco came into the LightGrid to photograph portrait and action shots for their website. Owner/Photographer Taylor Carter tests her skills using the LightGrid technology.
This was a fun, high energy shoot, where first time LightGrid user Taylor Carter was able to showcase the simplicity of the technology here at Blue Sky. Learn more about Pilates ProWorks

What Universities Get Wrong About Their Lab Autoclave

Getting to Know Miss Clarendon 2016 Drue Floyd
by Robert Joseph Baker | April 8, 2016 3:30 am
Last Updated: April 8, 2016 at 7:39 am
New Zion native Drue Floyd is entering her third month as Miss Clarendon 2016.
Manninglive.com will be posting these little blurbs throughout the next few weeks and months so readers can get to know her as she prepares for Miss South Carolina in June.
Floyd's platform is promoting Project Unify, an organization with which she has been involved for five years.
"It has truly changed my life," she said. "I hope to share with other schools in the state of South Carolina how amazing this group is. The experience it brings to students is truly life-changing."
Floyd chose her platform because she wants to teach others how to "accept those who are different," she added.
"Project Unify allows the best opportunity for students to interact with special needs students and allows a new relationship to blossom. What better place and way to teach someone acceptance than through Project Unify in the school systems."

GREAT BIG LESSONS; TINY LITTLE TEACHER: Go to the Ant, Lesson 1
Fire ants! I spent another summer trying to rid my yard of them. Sometimes I think that there is just one big catacomb underground, connecting all around my yard and maybe even the whole world. This would explain why when I kill one mound, another one pops up, seemingly overnight. It's like a game of "whack-a-mole."
But ants have a lot to teach us.
What parent has neglected to quote Proverbs 6:6-8 [NIV], by way of encouraging a child to be industrious and hard working? Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
The ant can teach us much more than just that we should work hard in this life. So, I offer another lesson that we can be gleaned from the Kingdom: Animalia, Class: Insect; Order: Hymenoptera; Family: Formicidae.
LESSON 1: Communication is key to the success of individual members and of the colony as a whole.
Ants communicate with each other using pheromones, sounds, and touch. They use pheromones to mark trails in the dirt to lead others to food or to warn them of danger – ensuring that the other ants have the information they need to succeed.
As brothers and sisters in Christ, we need to have this team/colony attitude toward communication that will help our fellow brethren succeed. We need to share what we know, help others find nourishment and warn them of dangers we find along the way. None of this is about bossing the other ants (brethren) or outlining pet interpretations of scripture. It is about finding ways to share what we know with other new parents, with children and teens, or with sisters experiencing the same troubles we have had to overcome. We should not hoard our knowledge.
Malachi 3:16 [KJV] Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard [it], and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
Malachi doesn't outline what those who feared the Lord discussed, but I think we can be assured that it wasn't the latest football stats or political drama. I think it is safe to assume that they spoke words of encouragement to one another and discussed the scriptures and writings available to them.
Proverbs 25:11 [ESV] A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver. We should speak up with words of encouragement for one another at every opportunity. Compliment your sisters in Christ. Say thank you. Say "I love you, sister." Say, "You can do it!" and "I am praying for you." These words have great value to God.
Communicate in other ways as well, as the ants do. A timely hug does wonders for me when I am down. A pat on the back or a squeeze of the hand can communicate love, support and sympathy when words just don't do the trick – or when the right words to say won't come.
The entirety of our church services are about positive communication. Together, we communicate praises to God and Jesus. We pray together, speaking of the needs of individuals and the church as a whole. The speakers are tasked with offering us words of life, of hope, of encouragement. When we fellowship before and after church, we also have the opportunity to speak words of life, of hope, of encouragement and so much more.
Ants don't chatter mindlessly or gossip. [See 1 Timothy 6:20 and 2 Timothy 2:16] They communicate with purpose. They communicate for success. We should too.
Go to the ant, my sisters, and be wise.
I welcome your thoughts, comments and questions. You can write me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
*Most of the facts about ants were gathered from this article in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant

We're giving new meaning to activist investor with this protest tactic that borrows a tool from the financier elite. I'm talking about options.
Options are the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell shares of a stock at a specified price on or before a chosen future date.
Activists that purchase options on evildoer stocks prior to unleashing a social protest will profit if their protests influence the corporation's stock price.
And while it might not be easy for activists to impact stock prices, it has been accomplished many times before. For example, Goldman Sach's stock crashed a staggering 40% during Occupy Wall Street.
The beauty of this options tactic is that the more effective the protest—the more profitable the protest. Elegant!
Kill Wells Fargo
I hear September 2018 will be a hot month of social unrest. If so, let's direct some rage against Wells Fargo, an undeniably evil corporation.
Among it's many crimes: defrauding millions of Americans, funding the Dakota Access Pipeline and financing the destruction of public housing in New York City. Wells Fargo deserves the death penalty.
I'm thinking that visceral street protest demanding the nationalization of Wells Fargo combined with a canny options strategy that profits as the stock moves would be an explosive mixture... Can we pull it off?

Most of our clients who have started down the path of home remodeling have approached how much time they have available to give in three different ways:
Hands Off
This is a person who has many commitments in their schedule that is not able to be rescheduled or changed in order to be on site during the remodel. Some of the time, they are forced to prioritize their time in a manner that only allows them to be involved in the initial big decisions and minor ongoing decisions as the project advances. Another type of person may also choose to be mostly hands off of the project but for a different reason. Sometimes when a person finds a great designer and an experienced contractor, they will see it as an advantage to let the project take shape on its own, with their input at the most important intersections. This is not for everyone though. And that's why some of our clients take the next approach.
Hands On
Depending on the nature of the project, some of our clients enjoy being more naturally involved in each step of the journey. Spending the time each week with your designer and being at the forefront of the decision making process can be a good thing when it comes to that client's story being told at the end. They will be able to give their friends a tour of their new space describing every detail as it relates to who they are and why they chose it. The downside to this approach, from a timing perspective, is that the client needs to always be there. This means, before beginning the project, they must commit most of their schedule for the coming months to the project. Vacations and trips for the most part have to be put on hold for the person who wants to be deeply involved in the journey of home remodeling.
The important take away from the topic of time is to hire an experienced and qualified designer. Your designer will be your savior when it comes to making decisions and pulling everything together, whether you are hands on or you are hands off.

Guardiola wary of Wolves attack
More To Watch
Man City boss Pep Guardiola has given his pre-match verdict on the Premier League clash with Wolves...
The Blues manager picked up on common ground between the two clubs after both dominated their respective leagues last season.
Guardiola said: "They destroyed the Championship. They made an incredible season. They play attractive football, and attack with good players, like Moutinho. We knew how tough it would be last season in the Carabao Cup, and it was."

Torres! Torres!
On Saturday, I went to the Grand Bazaar and I bought a football jersey (no. 9, Fernand Torres, of Spain).
The owner of the shop asked for 45 TL (about 22 Canadian dollars). After waiting a long time and discussing it with Mom, I then offered him 25 TL. He said yes and he kissed me twice and told me that I was a good businessman.
The next day, I went to a local futsal court. Futsal is like football (soccer), but in a tennis court with screens on the outside, artificial grass and tiny nets. when I got to the footsall court some boys saw my Torres jersey and started saying ''Torres! Torres!'' and I realized they were talking to me. I started to play footsall with then even though I couldn't speak Turkish and they couldn't speak Englesh very well. It was fun.

Technology / FBI says it may be able to unlock San Bernardino iPhone without Apple's help
FBI says it may be able to unlock San Bernardino iPhone without Apple's help
22 March 2016 |
Today's iPhone privacy case court hearing has been postponed after the FBI claimed it has found a potential way to unlock the San Bernardino shooter's device on its own.
"An outside party" has suggested a way in which investigators could access data stored on the smartphone without Apple's help, according to the BBC.
"Testing is required to determine whether it is a viable method that will not compromise data on Farook's iPhone," said a court filing.
"If the method is viable, it should eliminate the need for assistance from Apple."
The technology firm has been fighting an order from the US Justice Department demanding that it unlocks the phone, saying it "would not shrink from is responsibility" over data privacy.
A court hearing scheduled for today has been postponed at the request of the Justice Department and the government will update the court on April 5th, it has been reported.
Technology experts have mostly backed Apple in its protection of users' privacy.
In a recent survey, 63 per cent of professionals in the information security industry said they support the technology firm and do not believe it should unlock the iPhone.
51 per cent of those questioned believe the FBI is trying to set a new legal precedent that will force Apple and other technology companies to unlock more devices in the future.
Others have said both sides are fighting for what they believe the be right for the public.
"Apple, the FBI and the rest of us who deal with security are all trying to keep people safer," said NTT Com Security's director of threat and vulnerability analysis Chris Camejo.
"They just all disagree on which threats are more important and how best to address them. Apple and most of the rest of the tech community are constantly fending off attacks by hackers and are doing what they do best: figuring out how to use more technology, like encryption, to stop them.
"The FBI, on the other hand, sees this same technology that is intended to protect us from one threat as something that can prevent them from monitoring a very different type of threat: terrorists. We need to reconcile these conflicting priorities and stop working against each other."

TRAIL receptor 3 (TRAIL-R3), also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 10C (TNFRSF10C) and CD263, is a human cell surface receptor of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor contains an extracellular TRAIL-binding domain and a transmembrane domain, but no cytoplasmic death domain. This receptor is not capable of inducing apoptosis, and is thought to function as an antagonistic receptor that protects cells from TRAIL-induced apoptosis. This gene was found to be a p53-regulated DNA damage-inducible gene. The expression of this gene was detected in many normal tissues but not in most cancer cell lines, which may explain the specific sensitivity of cancer cells to the apoptosis-inducing activity of TRAIL. Diseases associated with TNFRSF10C include pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer.

Achaia Clauss
Achaia Clauss
Achaia Clauss Wine Co. was founded by Gustav Clauss, a native Bavarian, who in 1854 decided to settle in Patras after a business trip to the region. He was so enthused with the beauty of Greece's natural landscape, especially of Patras, Achaia, which is located in the northwest Peloponnese. Hence, he built a castle and within its walls he made a wine factory." His first wine was Mavrodaphne, a transplant from the Ioanian Islands. It has been said that it was his Iberian approach to vinification and love for sweet wine that made Mavrodaphne a successful crop in the region and subsequently, an appellation wine. Mavrodaphne and Muscat of Patras were first produced in 1854 for himself and friends. While the winery was built in 1861, it was not until 1873 that he introduced Mavrodaphne and Muscat in cork finished bottles. In 1880, Demestica was introduced from the village of Demestiha. In 1901, Demestica became the first bottled dry wine of Greece.
Today, the Achaia Clauss Wine Co. is one of the largest wineries in Greece and the largest exporter of cork-sealed Greek wine exporting to forty-two countries. Its portfolio includes thirty-two wines and four spirits ranging from young, refreshing wines to boutique style wines with depth and richness.

The Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) has told EMR to sell five sites acquired last year through a merger with Metal & Waste Recycling (MWR) because of concerns about the impact on prices.
EMR, which is the UK's largest scrap metal recycler, according to the CMA, bought London-based MWR in August last year.
MWR is the fourth largest scrap metal recycler in the UK and has 12 sites that process more than 800,000 tonnes a year of ferrous and non-ferrous metal.
The CMA launched an inquiry into the merger following fears that it could "lead to a worse deal for customers and suppliers".
An inquiry report has now ruled that the merger would "harm the choices available" to scrap metal suppliers, such as car breakers, in the south-east of England, as well as car manufacturers that sell large volumes of scrap metal through tendered contracts in the West Midlands and the north-east.
The five sites that must be sold include three in the West Midlands, one in the north-east and one in the south-east.
The CMA said: "In other areas of the business, including the buying (not via a tendered contract) and selling of general scrap metal, the CMA did not find the merger would substantially weaken competition."
Inquiry chair Lesley Ainsworth, said: "During the course of our inquiry, we surveyed, spoke to or received comments from more than 850 suppliers and customers.
"The evidence shows that EMR's purchase of MWR is likely to harm competition in a number of areas, and there is a material risk that prices for some suppliers and customers could worsen."
An EMR spokesperson said: "The CMA has made its decision and we will be looking to comply with its remedial actions in the required time.
"In the meantime, both EMR and MWR continue to trade and support their customers normally as independent entities."

Get Excellent Suggestions Below About Solar Power To Help You Understand
We get energy from so many sources today. Some are underground, like oil and natural gas. Others are at ground level, like water. Some are in the air, such as the wind. And then there is one final source, high above - the sun. This article will tell you how to harness solar power.
If you run a business you know that there are a lot of costs associated with that, one of them being your energy bill. If you have been looking at ways to save the company some money, you should switch over to renewable solar energy. This will not only save you money, but let people know that you are environmentally conscious.
If you http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/ljge20/current don't want to or can't go for full solar power, at least consider a solar water heating system. Many regional and community governments offer financial incentives, rebates and tax credits for even doing this, just like they do for full solar installations. Check with your local government before doing anything to know the perks.
If you don't want to or can't go for full solar power, at least consider a solar water heating system. Many regional and community governments offer financial incentives, rebates and tax credits for even doing this, just like they do for full solar installations. Check with your local government before doing anything to know the perks.
Be prepared to keep your solar panels clean. The dirtier they get, the less efficient they are at generating power. While it is true that rain and wind can often take care of a lot of this for you, you do need to get up there sometimes and dust them off yourself.
Check the inverter frequently if you have solar panels. If you see solid green lights, you have nothing to worry about. When the light blinks or is turned off, call for help. Unless you are an expert, you may be unable to diagnose the cause of the problem. A technician should visit for free if you have a warranty for 25 years, which is standard.
Power sources that are run by fossil fuels are run by machines that require motors. Those motors require constant maintenance. With solar energy systems, there are limited parts required so they are extremely low maintenance. You will save money on fuel as well as maintaining the system over the years.
Before signing any agreement for installation of solar energy products, get at least three estimates. Once the estimates are in your hand, read each one carefully to ensure that the installation is up to your standards. Each estimate should include a time frame of completion, a list of materials and the estimated amount of labor charged.
One of the greatest benefits of solar energy is the fact that it will never run out. Short of the sun burning out, it will always be there to provide us power. Using solar energy is unlike any other energy source because it is a consistent power source and will be there until the end of days.
If you know nothing about installing the equipment needed for solar energy, contact a professional to do it for you. The installation of solar energy panels and equipment is something rather specialized. If you attempt to install it yourself and do not do it right, you can ruin the equipment involved.
Find a vendor who offers a lengthy warranty for your solar panels. A lengthy warranty is a sign that the vendor has faith in the products and it will help you save a lot of money in case your panels malfunction. Do some background research on the vendor you chose to make sure they are likely to still be around over the next decades.
Do you have a pool? You could save a lot by investing in solar panels. There are small solar energy systems designed to power a water heater or a water pump and since you only use your pool during the warmer months, your panels will work perfectly when you need them.
Before purchasing any solar panels, make sure they are government certified. This may seem like a small deal, but it really affects your bottom line. Many of the government rebate programs require that your solar panels are government certified. If they aren't, you'll be missing out on some of the cash back opportunities out there for you.
Many solar systems require little or no maintenance to operate smoothly throughout the year, but you should have them service occasionally. Dirt, leaves and dust can accumulate and reduce the amount of power that your system can produce. Have a licensed installer come out regularly to preform maintenance on your system.
Ask your solar panel vendor about the certifications they have and about the testing of the panels http://my-led-lighting-guide.tumblr.com/post/144950702198/led-retrofit-kit-sizes-pie-chart-each-kit-broken/ you are interested in. You might qualified for some rebates offered by the government if you go through a certified vendor and choose panels that have received certifications too. Besides, this is a good way to make sure you are getting a quality product.
Many people can reap the wonderful benefits of solar power. There are people that don't realize the full potential of solar energy. Fortunately, you gained some important information from this article, and you are armed with enough information to explore your options.

The Year So Fast / Upcoming
2018 is almost over and 2019 knocks at my door. I managed to publish my usual two books, the German version of Teen Monster Hunters and the English follow-up Teen Vampire Hunters. Which is good, I guess. Sales-wise the monthly checks came in from my various publishing platforms, but definitely not with the numbers I'd like to see. It remains an inner struggle to spend time with non-writing activities. Maybe I should heed a friend's advice and hire someone to run social campaigns to extend my readership.
The second route in 2019 will be the conventional publisher route. I have 11 full size books under my belt, have the basic handiwork of a writer, and the discipline to deliver on time. My current project is aimed at a broader thriller scifi horror audience and hopefully an agent or publishing house will be interested.
On a personal level, there are also big changes ahead. I am switching jobs, leaving behind a lot of very nice colleagues. The new job is a bit cloak and dagger, so I will not elaborate. I might need to establish a sort of topical firewall to separate truth from believable fiction when writing crime and spy stories.
And so it goes… 2018. Thanks for the memories. Good riddance to lost opportunities. 2019, it's in my hands to do it better.

HK Disneyland aims to become "must-see" destination for Southeast Asian tourists
September 15, 2014
Published on Sep 15, 2014
Park's travel trade sales director, Larry Leung, reveals steps being taken to drive regional visitors
Hong Kong Disneyland his ramping up its trade marketing activities in Southeast Asia as it aims to drive more business from the region.
Speaking to Travel Daily on Friday, Larry Leung, the park's director of travel trade sales, revealed that Hong Kong Disneyland is placing a major focus on Southeast Asia, including five key markets.
"The closest Disney park to all the Southeast Asian countries is Hong Kong," said Leung. "Twenty percent [of our visitors] are international and Southeast Asia is a big part of this. The Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand; these we call our 'Fab Five'. These are very important markets to us."
And in terms of market penetration, Leung revealed that Disneyland now captures a huge share of the total number of overseas visitors coming to Hong Kong.
"We look at how many guests are coming into Hong Kong for overnight vacation purposes, and we see how many are coming to us. Take the Philippines for example; there we have 60% penetration. So out of 10 Filipino guests coming into Hong Kong overnight, six will come to our park. Taiwan is over 50%, Singapore over 45%, India 70%," Leung revealed. "We are a 'must-see' destination. On a check-list of things to see in Hong Kong, Disneyland is among them."

Dissolution of mesoporous silica supports in aqueous solutions: Implications for mesoporous silica-based water treatment processes
Under pH 7-10 conditions, the mesoporous silica supports proposed for use in water treatment are relatively unstable. In batch experiments conducted in pH 7 solutions, the commonly used support SBA-15 dissolved quickly, releasing approximately 30mg/L of dissolved silica after 2h. In column experiments, more than 45% of an initial mass of 0.25g SBA-15 dissolved within 2 days when a pH 8.5 solution flowed through the column. In a mixed iron oxide/SBA-15 system, the dissolution of SBA-15 changed the iron oxide reactivity toward H 2O 2 decomposition, because dissolved silica deposited on iron oxide surface and changed its catalytic active sites. As with SBA-15, other mesoporous silica materials including HMS, MCM-41, four types of functionalized SBA-15, and two types of metal oxide-containing SBA-15 also dissolved under circumneutral pH solutions. The dissolution of mesoporous silica materials raises questions about their use under neutral and alkaline pH in aqueous solutions, because silica dissolution might compromise the behavior of the material.

"All heroes are shadows of Christ." – John Piper
"I am Firestar!" my 8-year old yells to her brother stretching her hands to the sky. "I am Spiderman!" he yells back casting his invisible web. Oh, to transform myself into a super hero and use my powers to make time stand still or zap the dishes from dirty to clean!
Seriously, I wonder what super hero I would be these days though. Laundry Girl? The Stain-Fighting Ninja? The Incredibly Tired & Aging Spider-Veined Woman?
The other day, I asked my kids who their heroes were. I was surprised by their answers.
My 8-year old said a prayer warrior friend of ours was her hero because "she prays for us." My oldest referenced a "gutsy" relative who recently returned to parenthood to raise her grandchildren. I nodded my head to both. Then, my 9-year old stopped me in my tracks when she said I was her hero because "you help us and love us."
What? Me? Hero material?
A hero is born when frightening challenges and unwavering sacrifice meet. Sacrifice, however, is born long before that one moment. It is conceived and grown in the relentless, unglamorous self-denial of the everyday. We do this day in and day out as women and followers of Christ, but we forget that loads of laundry, prayers prayed at the dish sink, and constrained words on a computer screen are often the makings of heroism itself.
