Sleep is an important fact in our house. I know it can be hard with two small children in the house. Over the years we have found our routine with them and divided up the nights between us. That way everyone gets enough sleep to function. Both of us, daddy and mummy, have full time jobs which involves sitting in front of the computer all day. Having bags underneath your eyes then and speaking to customers on the phone, isn't the best. Our tip is, go to bed earlier if possible.
I am a bit obsessed with tracking my sleep since I have the Fitbit Charge 2. Hubby doesn't really use it for tracking his sleep but using the S+ by ResMed has gotten him really into it. In fact we were delighted to take part in reviewing the new non-contact sleep solution.
So what can the S+ offer?
- It measures your breathing and body movements throughout the night
- It analyzes light, noise and temperature levels in your bedroom
- It creates daily sleep scores and charts to help you understand your sleep pattern
- It delivers personalized feedback based on your sleep pattern, bedroom environment and daily habits
- It syncs seamlessly with your smartphone or tablet
When we received the S+ our first step was to download the associated app which is available on Android devices as well as Apple devices. You then create your own account with a couple of questions regarding your lifestyle and your sleep pattern. To me it was really impressive what they ask you. Pair your phone with the S+ with a few simple steps.
The pod can be held up with the frame but you can also use it without it. It all depends on how high or low your bed is.
To compare your sleep, it is advisable to collect three days of data.
The sleep score divides into different stages. On one side it tells you the ideal score you should have and on the left hand side it shows you what you actually got that night.
REM is the time you have dreams, furthermore there is deep sleep, light sleep, disruption time and onset.
There are so much more aspects to this sleep monitor other what we used and tested. The "Mind Clear" feature, for example, offers simple text and voice tools for recording tomorrow's to-do list so you can go to sleep with a calm, uncluttered mind. Instead of waking you up at a set time, Smart Alarm aims to gently wake you from light sleep close to when you need to be up, helping you feel more refreshed.
What did we think of the S+?
I wouldn't necessarily say it improved by hubby's sleep but it definitely helped him to be more refreshed for the day. We really like the the daily feedback you get. If you don't reach a certain amount hours of sleep, the app will tell you to stay hydrated.
It is very easy to use and the fact that it's non-contact, you don't have to depend on wearing a wristband all night. My hubby is not a fan of that. I'd say this will be used continuously used throughout the next coming months and we will get to know all the hidden features, too.

PORTLAND – The car ferry to Peaks Island is being taken out of service Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning because of a mechanical failure.
Casco Bay Lines said in a Facebook post Monday afternoon Lionel Plante Associates will be providing a supplemental barge service while the Machigonne is being repaired.
Peaks Island departures will take place from the Forest City Landing, while Portland departures will take place from East End Beach.
Casco Bay Lines said in its posting that trips may be affected into Tuesday afternoon.
Nicholas Mavodones, the company's operations manager, said an electrical switch malfunctioned on the boat. That part needed to be ordered and should be delivered by 10 a.m. Tuesday, he said.
Mavodones said the barge is roughly the same size as the car ferry, which holds 12 vehicles. Passenger service to Peaks Island will still run through the Commercial Street terminal.
Below are the departure times and locations for car-ferry passengers posted on the district's Facebook page:
• 5 p.m. from Peaks Island
• 5:30 from Portland's East End Beach
• 7:15 a.m. from Peaks Island
• 7:45 a.m. from Portland's East End Beach

First, it was Wizkid who was accused of stealing songs from not only Dammy Krane, but also Blackface. Now the former Plantashun Boiz singer has accused his former band mate,
2face of stealing his song.
2face of stealing his song.
In a series of tweets, he claims that the song, "Let Somebody Love You" is his song and Tuface who performed the song with international act, Bridget Kelly, did so without his permission.
He also insinuated that he would be taking the issue to court. But we have to ask, the song was released in 2014, why did it take him so long to come forward and stake his claim?

Age of Aquarius
Original Artwork © John Jude Palencar from the Time-Life book 'Wizards and Witches.'
The supposed two-thousand-year period of enlightenment, peace and love heralded by the entry of the sun into the zodiacal sign of Aquarius.
Astrologers and diverse occult traditions disagree on the date of this period's beginning they range from 1904 to 2680.
American medium Edgar Cayce, called by some "the Prophet of the New Age," said the Age of Aquarius and its preceding age, the Age of Pisces, overlap and that the changeover could not be fully understood until the beginning of the 21st century.
The term was popular during the 1960s, a decade marked by social and political upheaval and increased interest in spiritual exploration and alternative lifestyles.
According to the Christian Esoteric, Essenian and later Rosicrucian traditions, the nearness and entrance into the Age of Aquarius — taking place after the Age of Pisces, or the age ruled by the "Sword" — will produce to the majority of humanity the discovery, real living and actual knowledge of the inner and profound Christian teachings.
Several native American traditions also refer to the beginning of a remarkable age of enlightenment, announced by the coming of a great spiritual teacher who will unite the material and spiritual worlds, bringing about a period of universal tranquility and brotherhood.

It's not a joke.
Brown bears still are being seen near the Mendenhall Glacier. A sow and her cub have been in the area for about a month, and have bluff-charged hikers on the Trail of Time, said U.S. Forest Service recreation staff officer Ron Marvin. All trails in the area are closed now.
Some residents have pooh-poohed the danger, said interpreter Denise Wolvin, and continue to hike the Moraine Ecology Trail.
"People aren't believing we actually have brown bears. They think we put up brown bear signs because we don't have black bear signs," Wolvin said.
Officials ask hikers to heed the closures as long as the warning signs remain in place, and to use caution while in the area of the glacier.
Because brown bears are a rarity near Juneau, the Division of Wildlife Conservation of the state Department of Fish and Game is considering putting transmitters on the bears, Marvin said. Assistant area biologist Polly Hessing said it was a "low possibility."
"We are talking about it," Hessing said. "We had some folks go out there last night and look for the bears but couldn't find them. It would be useful if we could track them.
"If we knew exactly where they were, it would help the Forest Service manage the area. It is unusual to have (brown bears) around, so we would like to know where they hang out and if they stay around next year," Hessing said.
For updates on trail closures, call the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center at 789-6640.

International freight forwarder and consolidator FPS Australia has opened a new sales office in Albury, New South Wales, to serve the growing economy in the area. FPS is currently one of only two freight agents with an office in the region.
Albury is a major regional city located on the Hume Highway, on the north of the Murray River. It lies on the state border between Victoria and New South Wales, equidistant from their respective capitals of Sydney and Melbourne.
Australian Government incentives to develop commerce and industry in rural areas are encouraging large corporates to re-locate to the region, adding to its existing importance as a major producer of wheat, barley, fruit, vegetables and livestock – much of which is exported to Asia.
In addition to serving Albury itself, the new FPS office will provide cover for the important surrounding towns, including Wodonga, Wangaratta, Shepparton, Echuca, Lavington, Wagga Wagga and Griffith.
The FPS Albury office is managed by Alan Mckeown, who joins FPS after working in forwarding in the local market for 10 years. Alan's career in multi-modal forwarding and logistics spans 25 years, including a variety of sales and operational posts for major companies such as Brambles and Circle International.
Says FPS Australia National Marketing Manager, Matthew Drake-Brockman: "We have identified big potential in this region. We opened this office because we believe local business people will feel more valued and comfortable dealing with a fellow local, rather than receiving occasional visits from big city sales staff based four hours' drive away.
"The new office will upgrade our existing presence in this important market, and it demonstrates our commitment to the area. The export potential here is very good, and we also feel confident that imports will become a major element of the business, based on significant flows of equipment, fertilisers and other raw materials needed in the agriculture sector."
FPS Australia celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year: the company opened its first office, in Melbourne, in 1994, and this was also one of the earliest branches in the entire FPS network. FPS Australia also has a base in Sydney, and fellow FPS members in Brisbane and Fremantle.

A strong cold front is crossing Arizona from west to east today. While the moisture is coming from the south, the cold front is a winter weather phenomenon for Arizona. We are expecting fast-moving thunderstorms with heavy rain and other severe weather. This is reminiscent of the storms on October 6, 2010.
The National Weather Service isn't taking any chances. They have posted severe weather watches and warnings. Check their website for updates.

The second desirable characteristic of an estimator is efficiency, which is the extent to which the sampling distribution is clustered about its mean. Efficiency, clustering, is essentially a matter of dispersion. The smaller the standard deviation of a sampling distribution will be the greater the clustering and higher the efficiency. If the sampling distribution of two statistics have the same mean (i.e., expected value), the one with smaller variance is the more efficient estimator. Note that efficiency is referring to the standard error of an estimate, which is the standard deviation of a sampling distribution. Get latest updates on the related subject inStatistichomework help and assignment help at transtutors.com.
Thus, the more efficient estimator is the one having the smaller standard error. Other factors being equal, the most efficient estimator is preferred. However, in any comparison of two alternative estimators the one with smaller variance might also be a biased estimator. Preference for unbiased usually dominates preference for efficiency. Given two unbiased estimators, the one with the smaller variance in preferable. Remember that thestandard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means, or the standard error of the mean, is equal to the population standard deviation divided by the square root of N. Therefore, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is an inverse function of N. As sample size increases, will decrease. These latest developments are all covered in theStatistichomework help and assignment help attranstutors.com.
We can improve the efficiency (or decrease the standard deviation of the sampling distribution) for any estimator by increasing sample size.
Sample 1
Sample 2
Both sample means are unbiased, but which is the more efficient estimator? Consider sample 1 and assume, for sake of illustration, that the population standard deviation (σ) is $500. In this case, the standard deviationof the sampling distribution of all possible sample means with an N of 100 would be or , $50.00. For sample 2, the standard deviation of all possible sample means with an N of 1000 would be much smaller. Specially, it would be equal to , $15.81.
The sampling distribution based on sample 2 is much more clustered than the sampling distribution based on sample 1. In fact, sampling distribution 2 contains 68 percent of all possible sample means within ±15.81 of μ, while sampling distribution 1 requires a much broader interval of ±50.00 to do the same. The estimate based on a sample with 1000 cases is much more likely to be close in value to the population parameter than is an estimate based on sample of 100 cases. Figure 1 and 2 illustrate these relationships graphically. All such points are covered inStatistichomework help and assignment help at transtutors.com.
The key point to remember is that the standard deviation of all sapling distributions is an inverse function of N: the larger the sample, the greater the clustering and the higher the efficiency. In part, these relationships between sample size and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution do nothing more than underscore our commonsense notion that more confidence can be place in large samples than in small (as long as both have been randomly selected).
Our email-based homework help support provides best and intelligent insight and recreation which help make the subject practical and pertinent for any assignment help.
Transtutors.com present timely homework help at logical charges with detailed answers to your Statistic questions so that you get to understand your assignments or homework better apart from having the answers.

Fractal Design Node 605 HTPC Case Review
- Details
- Written by Matthew Steere on February 05th 2013 at 9:30pm
Installation and Testing
Save for the slim-line optical drive and HDD bays this was a fairly standard build, though a bit on the cramped side. Thanks largely to Fractal Design's compact Integra R2 power supply and a short video card, dealing with the front I/O panel and motherboard power cables was not nearly the headache that it easily might have been. There was just enough room to bundle up the spare power supply leads between the video card and hard drive bays to avoid any cable-on-fan interaction, which brings up another point. Because this is a case will rest in the same orientation that it is built in, you need not worry about anything shifting around after you bolt the lid on and get it ready to use. Power cables aside, the USB 3.0 cable is a bit too long for this case. There is a good eight inches of cable to cover the mere 4 inch space between the front interface wire harness and the motherboard USB 3.0 header. This does give a little leeway for strange USB 3.0 header locations though. What could be ideal for this situation would be to have a cable with a 90 degree bend immediately before the connector, or a 90 degree header adaptor (which would first need to be invented and/or made commercially available).
Now on to my less proud moment of the Node 605 build. Had I not been such a numpty (and read the instructions), dealing with the slim optical drive and mounting brackets would have been slightly less frustrating. Believing my college-educated engineer mind to be up to the task of steamrolling through this build without supplementary instruction, I began by fastening the ODD brackets in from the top (contrary to Fractal's directions). Needless to say things didn't get any easier. Had I done things properly, I would have began by attaching the brackets to the sides of the slim ODD with two microscopic philips head screws per side, followed by positioning the assembly over the 4 mounting holes and driving the final four self-tapping screws up from the bottom. Then, instead of taking out and replacing the fan half a dozen times or so to deal with cable management, I could have surveyed the situation and done everything in one go; thus avoiding the massive bother that it ended up being. The moral of this story is: read the manufacturer's instructions and have a look at the whole wiring arrangement before trying to make everything look nice. Granted, despite my efforts it did end up being quite crowded in the case after all was fastened down and plugged in.
Since the only part of this PC that will be seen by anyone other than yourself is the aluminium front face, the level of effort you want to put into cable management is entirely up to you, with airflow being the primary motivator.
Test Setup
|Intel Core i5-3570K LGA1155
|EVGA GE Force GT 640
|Asus P8 Z77-M Pro mATX
|Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3
|Fractal Design Integra R2 750W
|OCZ Agility 3 60Gb
|Optical Drive:
|Panasonic UJ240 Slim Blu-Ray
With all of the little pieces now in place, it was time for the initial boot-up. First there was the "beep" (a good sign), followed shortly by the starting "whoosh" of the CPU cooler which quickly tapered off (another good sign), and then... nothing. The heavy gauge steel of the case, the masive brick of aluminium and the ultra-quiet Silent Series R2 fans (they really do live up to their name) and the swatch of noise dampening material have made for the ultimate ninja HTPC case. The only audible noise is directly behind each of the fans, and even that is a most-delicate whisper of "noise." In a cabinet, it'll be just as loud as your loudest passively-cooled receiver... silent.

I am more productive and less grumpy when I take the time to orchestrate not sad desk lunches. Last week I slipped and found myself scrambling in the early afternoons. I ended up eating unmemorable and somewhat unhealthy food.
This week, I promised myself to do a little better, hence this Indian-inspired meal. I make no claims to authenticity, but this combo and a few other add-ins will make this week's lunches livelier and more nourishing.
Lunch components
Store bought naan bread
Red grapes
Red lentil stew topped with cilantro leaves—I used Mark Bittman's recipe for Masoor Dal
Brown rice—cooked in the pressure cooker and sprinkled with green onions for color and health
Squares of dark chocolate
Not pictured: a saag paneer (spinach and cheese dish) microwave meal that will be worked in later in the week
I messed up my kitchen a little bit cooking the rice and the stew. But clean-up was quick and there will be no morning panic this week! Also, as much as I enjoy doing everything from scratch, it's jut not possible when I am busy at work. I am bring realistic about time and priorities. This week's desk lunches will be more balanced and so will I.

Sorry for missing a few days folks. I've been really crazy busy at work trying to push out a release. I needed a break so I'm over here to highlight something that is out of my comfort zone. In the last few years, I have been getting into more classic jazz music with such artists as Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, and John Coltrane. I guess the inspiration to listen to more jazz came from a trip to New Orleans and seeing how much jazz played a roll in the culture of New Orleans and some of the other styles of music that I enjoy.
I find jazz relaxing and quizzical. I enjoy trying to figure out what an artist is trying to convey musically without a damn bit of words. It's like an abstract or impressionist painter in some regards. A hint of subject is there, can you figure it out? I'm a real amateur at this, but enjoy the challenge. With this new fascination, I have started to collect a few jazz albums here and there. Most recently picking up a box set from Ella Fitzgerald; however, the album I chose to spotlight today is from my personal collection, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman.
John Coltrane was born in North Carolina in 1926 and became one of the most respected jazz saxophonist and composers. He recorded and played with many jazz greats and passed away at the very young age of 40 due to liver cancer.
Johnny Hartman was a jazz singer known for his ballads. He never really made it big, but did get noticed by Coltrane and was asked to record with him. At first Hartman was reluctant to record with Coltrane, thinking their styles wouldn't mesh, but after seeing Coltrane perform live, they quickly went to the studio.
The result is a mix of great jazz and sweet, deep ballads. With only about a 30 minute run time, the album leaves you wishing for more, but the tracks that made the cut are top notch. Coltrane's sax runs on Autumn Serenade make you feel like you are strolling with your baby in a park in the fall. I know jazz isn't for everyone, but at only 30 minutes, it's a quick listen.
If you have time, take in Coltrane's "Alabama" and try to think about what he was trying to convey in this song. He wrote it about 4 young girls who were killed in a church bombing by the KKK in 1963.
That's it for now. I hope to have additional time to go more in depth on some really great albums in the next few weeks. Until then, keep listening.

Car Insurance Quotes
I left my engine running while I ran into a store, and somebody stole my car. Will comprehensive insurance pay my theft claim?
The answer in most cases is "yes," says Ward. Even though it's your own darn fault, "there is coverage for that under your comprehensive theft coverage." An obvious lack of good judgment normally won't prevent you from collecting, he adds.
You probably will have to pay your deductible, but here is some relief: "If a thief steals your car and damages it, it is covered by comprehensive coverage while it is out of your control," says Ward.

Metabolite Identification through Machine Learning— Tackling CASMI Challenge Using FingerID
AbstractMetabolite identification is a major bottleneck in metabolomics due to the number and diversity of the molecules. To alleviate this bottleneck, computational methods and tools that reliably filter the set of candidates are needed for further analysis by human experts. Recent efforts in assembling large public mass spectral databases such as MassBank have opened the door for developing a new genre of metabolite identification methods that rely on machine learning as the primary vehicle for identification. In this paper we describe the machine learning approach used in FingerID, its application to the CASMI challenges and some results that were not part of our challenge submission. In short, FingerID learns to predict molecular fingerprints from a large collection of MS/MS spectra, and uses the predicted fingerprints to retrieve and rank candidate molecules from a given large molecular database. Furthermore, we introduce a web server for FingerID, which was applied for the first time to the CASMI challenges. The challenge results show that the new machine learning framework produces competitive results on those challenge molecules that were found within the relatively restricted KEGG compound database. Additional experiments on the PubChem database confirm the feasibility of the approach even on a much larger database, although room for improvement still remains. View Full-Text

Cranfield University was delighted to welcome the Paraguayan Ambassador, Miguel Angel Solano López and the CEO of the Association Guyra Paraguay, Dr Alberto Yanosky to its campus on Friday (30 November) to meet with Cranfield academics involved in international research into biodiversity and ecosystem services.
The visit follows a presentation in Brazil by Cranfield's Dr Humberto Perotto-Baldivieso outlining a project with the Museum of Natural History in Bolivia to create the virtual Geospatial Centre for Biodiversity (GCB) [In Spanish: Centro Geoespacial para la Biodiversidad], a unique online portal containing a wealth of information on Bolivia's rich ecosystems.
Guyra Paraguay is keen to develop a similar system in Paraguay to highlight the importance of protecting the country's rich natural heritage, whilst managing the effects of heavy agriculture. Paraguay is one of the most naturally diverse regions in the world, home to around 8,000 unique plant species and more than 20 critically endangered species.
Dr Perotto-Baldivieso, working with Dr Andrew Gill, who led Cranfield's work on the Bolivian project, commented: "The visit by Dr Yanosky and the Ambassador highlights the value of projects such as the GCB, in helping to protect biodiversity in the future, particularly in countries where agriculture is still a key industry. Our aim was to create a new way to take conservation to the community, decision-makers and researchers not only in Bolivia, but worldwide. Today's visit demonstrates the success of the project and we look forward to working with Guyra Paraguay and the Ambassador to create a similar system for Paraguay and other countries in the region."

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) -- A Murfreesboro police officer is being investigated by internal affairs after he pulled a gun on a truck driver during a traffic stop.
Authorities say officer Anthony Whitehead was responding to a traffic accident with injuries last Friday night. When a truck driver James Snowdon cut him off on the way, he pulled him over.
The driver was shown on police video putting his hands in the air and explaining that he didn't see the officer's car. The officer then made Snowdon lie face down during a cold, wet night as he wrote him a ticket.
Police say Whitehead then pulled a gun on Snowdon.
Murfreesboro police have put Whitehead on desk duty and decommissioned him until the investigation is complete.

Arizona State University, Claire McLaughlin's curator insight, February 19, 12:10 PM
Here is a creative way for students to practice writing, grammar, vocabulary.
As soon as kids start talking, it's great to get them to tell stories. For younger kids, encourage them to narrate their activities as they build, climb, and pretend by asking questions such as, "What are you building? Who will use it? Tell me about your adventure!" There are also apps that let kids record their stories as they play. With older kids, some will naturally put pencil to paper, but others take a bit more prodding. For those kids, digital book creation can make their writing process feel more grown-up and tangible. Having a real audience also shows kids that their writing can matter, so tweens and teens can use sites and apps where they can share creations, and they can even riff off their obsessions in the form of fan fiction. Finally, if your tween or teen has strong opinions about issues or interesting people in their lives, they can use tools to document and share those stories, too.
Lots of great tools in this article. -JL

Melanie Smith repeatedly threatened her neighbour, Lee-Anna Shiers, before setting a pram alight in communal area, jury hears
A "drunk and jealous" woman who repeatedly threatened a neighbour killed a family-of-five in a devastating fire following a row about a pushchair in a communal area, a court has heard.
It was claimed that Melanie Smith, 42, was drinking heavily on the day leading up to the fire and was heard shouting through the letterbox: "I'm going to burn your house down."
Smith and neighbour Lee-Anna Shiers argued for up to two months before the blaze, the court was told. But the row is said to have intensified over a pram that was left in a walkway outside their flat.
Smith is accused of killing the family of five by setting the pram alight. Shiers, 20, her four-year-old nephew, Bailey, and two-year-old niece, Skye, died in the blaze at their home in north Wales on 19 October last year. Firefighters managed to rescue Shiers' 15-month-old son, Charlie, and his father, Liam Timbrell, 23, from their first-floor flat but they both died in hospital.
Smith, 42, who lived in the flat below the victims in Prestatyn, has gone on trial at Mold crown courtaccused of murdering them.
The court was played a harrowing 999 call in which Timbrell shouted: "Oh my god, oh my god, we're going to die." The jury was told that Timbrell later told rescuing paramedics that "it was arson" and "it was Mel from downstairs".
Smith denies the five murder charges and also one count of making a threat to destroy or damage property.
Prosecuting, Ian Murphy QC said: "The prosecution say that the fire was deliberately started by the defendant, who had been drinking heavily that day and who, over a period of about two months leading up to 19 October, had demonstrated anger and hostility towards Lee-Anna and also jealousy of her.""
Sobbing could be heard from the public gallery when the jury of seven women and five men were played the 999 call made by Timbrell, in which he was shouting: "Help, help. Someone has put it on purpose [sic]. We're inside the flat."
He can also be heard shouting: "Oh my god, oh my god, we're going to die."
Smith, with blonde hair tied in a ponytail and wearing thick-rimmed glasses, leaned forward as she listened.
Murphy said Timbrell was the only person from inside flat 32A who was able to give any account of what happened.
"The prosecution say that the circumstances in which he spoke lie at the heart of what happened and were made when he was so emotionally overpowered by these tragic events that the possibility of him lying or distorting can be disregarded," he said.
Timbrell was being attended to by paramedics Sarah Martella and John Owens, Murphy said.
He was very badly burned but became alert and awake, and said: "Babies, are the babies okay?"
Murphy said Smith was "particularly angry" with Shiers's habit of leaving the pushchair in the hall and with her being "noisy" in the upstairs flat and being untidy, leaving cigarette ends around the front-door area.
"The defendant also seems to have been jealous of Lee-Anna for, the prosecution say, she accused her partner of having a sexual relationship with her, an allegation for which there seems to be no basis at all," Murphy said.
The case continues.

Rather, he aimed to reconcile those who entered psychoanalysis to a state of perpetual unrest...psychoanalysis does not so much promise inner peace as open up a possibility of release from the fantasy that inner conflict will end.

UMD Takes 1st in American Helicopter Society Student Challenge
An old bandit out of retirement. Four antique "Texas Redback" bills stolen from a museum. The threat of a Wild West shootout. It was up to the Terrapin Sheriffs to fly a small aircraft to the bandit's hideout to drop off an arrest warrant and to retrieve the missing Redback bills.
And on May 8, 2017, the University of Maryland undergraduate team did just that when they took first place in the American Helicopter Society (AHS) International's 5th Annual Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) Student Challenge.
Themed "Package Delivery in the Wild West," the event challenged teams to create a MAV—a miniature drone operated autonomously or by remote control—capable of traversing an obstacle course and delivering an envelope weighing 25 grams, about 0.06 of a pound, to a designated drop-off location. The MAV then had to acquire another envelope and deliver it back to the starting position. The entire task needed to be completed in under 10 minutes using an attached camera to steer the vehicle.
The Terrapin Sheriffs was one of three international teams selected to participate. The competition took place at Fort Worth Convention Center, Ft. Worth, TX, at the 73rd AHS International Annual Forum and Technology Display, where teams battled for first place and awards totalling up to $5,000.
The Terrapin Sheriffs, consisting of four aerospace engineering students, competed against two other finalists: Concordia University from Montreal, Québec, and Vaughn College from New York.
"It doesn't sound that complicated, [but] it gets really complicated once you get the vehicle flying. All kinds of things that you wouldn't even think of could go wrong," said team member David Hairumian.
The complexity of flying the vehicle is reflected in the restrictions the team had to work under when making their design. Each electric-powered vehicle needed to be configured for vertical takeoffs and landings and be able to hover using rotors or propellers. There also had to be at least one onboard camera for beyond-line-of-sight operation.
The biggest challenge was meeting all of these specifications without exceeding the 1.1 pound limit.
Despite the restrictions and challenges, the Terrapin Sheriffs not only finished the course with the fastest time but were the only team to successfully complete it on their first attempt.
It's a story of practice makes perfect. The team prepared for the competition for months—even practicing in their hotel room every night leading up to the event.
Cutting-edge technology and design decisions also gave the team a more competitive edge. For example, they chose to receive the camera footage through First-Person-View goggles.
"We ended up finding out the goggles are a more immersive experience. When you have the goggles on, it puts you in the position of actually flying this vehicle," said Nick Rehm, pilot for the Terrapin Sheriffs, when explaining why the team opted not to rely on LCD screens. "We initially started out with an LCD screen, but the goggles were significant in improving my ability to be able to feel what the vehicle was doing rather than just seeing."
The vehicle frame was also made from a very lightweight but strong composite, which, combined with a custom control system, freed up much-needed weight for more creative designs elements, including the claws that scooped and held the envelopes.
Developed by UMD team mentor and Assistant Research Scientist Vikram Hrishikeshavan in a state-of-the-art UMD lab, the control system is about the size of a quarter and weighs only 1.5 grams.
The Micro Air Vehicle Laboratory, part of UMD's Alfred Gessow Rotorcraft Center and supported by alumni contributions, is a specialized lab that the team recognizes as one of their best resources.
This year's event marks the second time a UMD team was the only one to successfully complete an AHS challenge. In 2014, the CDCL Dolphins won the 2nd annual MAV Student Challenge in Montreal, Canada.
Graduate student Elena Shrestha was part of that winning team and has returned every year since as a mentor alongside Hrishikeshavan, Assistant Clinical Professor Derrick Yeo, and Distinguished University Professor Inderjit Chopra.
"I have continued to stay involved because the competition provides students with a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience developing drones and also interact with other teams from universities around the world," said Shrestha. "I especially enjoyed working with this year's team because the students were very motivated and diligent."

You need to understand men like him are absolute cowards, they're scared to death of the Police, they can only beat up on defenceless women and children or others who are smaller than them. Once the Police arrive, they're weak as water.

He will never change, he will only get worse unless something is done to stop him. Either leave and never go back, or report him to the Police and let the authorities handle it from there, but make sure you support them or he'll be back on the street before you can blnk.
Very carefully. Just like I am doing...

Tread carefully.

Make a police report. Hopefully you have reported this before.

Speak your limits. What is and is not tolerable. Be crystal clear. Give clear consequences of any abuses. State what he has done that is not acceptable.

Have an escape plan. Emergency money, ID, etc.

Leave no traces when you do go...Sounds necessary in your case.

Make certain people who know you and care know where you are always.

Have an emergency phone and numbers.

Shelters may be helpful. There is a lot of help.

Cover all your ba<x>ses. Know your weaknesses. Know how far he can be pushed. Know what are the triggers. Learn self-defense techniques. Protect yourself at all costs. Learn valuable lessons now. Good luck. You will need it and brains too!
Through your attorney and the police and leave him with nothing.
same way katie holmes left tom cruise
If you can afford an atty- start there. If not- go to your county clerk office and most likely the clerks will help you file an order of protecion and a matrimonial plaintiff's packet. Do not let him bully you or scare you back "home"--call the cops as often as you have to
Pack up and git... dont look back... I promise, it wont get any better
Well exactly how does he have a bd temper? Does he abuse very badly?

omg that is very bad just call the police.
Do NOT, NOT, NOT try to do it on your own. Call social services and a lawyer immediately. Lawyers will almost always give free consultations so if you don't like one try another.
If you have any physical bruising go and report it to your doctor or to the police and let them know that if he is violent again you will be changing the locks. Change the locks when he is out you should not have to leave, inform the police to be in the area incase he decides to commit criminal damage to break in to your property. Leave his things outside before he arrives home. If he leaves you with out enough money to change the locks do not tell the locksmith until the job is done, then plead mercy and tell him why you can not pay him but promise him you will. Let as many official people know what is happenning, some friends may not believe he could do such a thing.
When he is alspeep.
back up if you can get some for the actual move. and the police if necessary. i have made arrangements to leave mine this weekend. i am getting the help of family. i know a confrontation is unavoidable unless i leave while he is at work, but i dont have that option.
i would like to add that my prayers are with you, and i do hope you get out safely.
Walk away never look back
Very delicately.

It shows Sadie, our cat, with her new very favorite toy, the pricey, natural rubber pacifier that we bought for Anabelle (but which she soundly rejected). Then, to the right, we see Anabelle with her new favorite, the sparkly cat toy that I hastily tied to her carseat chair for some needed distraction. I guess we do whatever works!

You're smart! Whatever works is the best strategy in my book 🙂 I see you figured out the car seat thing. I didn't figure out until my second (of three children) that they prefer hanging out in their car seat above all other fancy seats / swings / bouncies. (pre-crawling/rolling/creeping) They took their best naps in the car seat, too! Go figure!
Ha – yep, she loves her car seat! She doesn't love the straps, but she usually falls asleep right away, so we can sneak the straps on when we go out.
ah thats funny! My puppy dog, Hazel, LOVES my baby boys little stuffed animals that rattle. Eli is 3 months old – and we've found Hazel stealthily running thru the house with his little teddy bear in her mouth! And Eli likes his carseat too 🙂 Ya gotta do what works!

Diana Reid is an investigative reporter skilled at uncovering other people's secrets. It's her own that she works to keep buried. Eight years earlier, she promised to leave her fiancé and hometown of Diamond, Texas forever. That pledge vanishes when she receives a letter stating people are going to die, implicating her hometown's largest employer, and making a veiled threat against her mother. With no other choice, Diana will return to Diamond, albeit in disguise, to discover the anonymous author.
Brad Jordan moved on with his life after Diana walked out on him. Needless to say, she's an unwelcome topic. Leaving his brother in charge of Jordan Industries, the family business, Brad pursued a law degree and is now mayor of Diamond. Just as he rebuilt his life, he plans to rebuild his struggling hometown. Those plans are jeopardized when Brad is notified Jordan Industries is suspected of conducting illegal practices and sacrificing the public's health.
Diana is the last person Brad wants to see, personally or professionally. Still, when she appears in Diamond, he is forced to accept that she may be his only option to get to the truth. Together Diana Reid and Brad Jordan face a dangerous adversary—one whose only intent is keeping a deadly agenda buried.

Over the past few years there has been a lot of discussion about the 1%. The 1% is comprised of people making $569,944 per year and up. Becoming part of the 1% could be inherited or attained through post-secondary education. For the purpose of this article we will discuss the means to achieve this great wealth through education. In other words, these are the majors you should choose if you want to become part of the top 1% of earners. There are two different questions to consider:
- Which college majors provide the best statistical chance of entering the 1%?
The Best Chance to Become a Member of the 1%
According to a 2010 American Community Survey, the top five degrees for becoming a member of the 1% are:
Health and Medical Prep
The professional field with the most members of the 1% is health and medical preparatory field. It is reported that 11.8% of people holding a degree in this field are in the 1%. These professionals make so much money largely due to three factors: the cost of their education, the difficulty and specialization of knowledge required, and malpractice insurance costs.
Holders of this degree will largely be employed by financial firms, consulting firms, insurance firms and the government. Most positions regarding economics require a higher level of education. This level of education and business sectors combine to provide a high salary. About 8.2% of economic degree holders are in the top 1%.
Biochemical Sciences
The job prospects for a holder of a biochemical degree are vast and include medicine, dentistry, veterinary sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical-related disciplines. Similar to health and medical preparatory degrees, the reasons for a relatively higher chance to be in the 1% are the cost to attain these degrees, the specialization of knowledge required to perform the tasks and insurance. There are many biochemical science degree holders in the top 1%. In fact, about 7.2% of them.
Zoologists have a wide array of career paths available to them from working in a zoo to working for the government. Another interesting factor is the state and metropolitan area where a zoologist operates. Zoologists working in the District of Columbia lead the country by making a median of nearly $200,000, which suggests the federal government pays zoologists the highest salaries. About 6.9% of zoology degree holders are in the top 1%.
The traditional realms of biology such as teaching, research and environment conservation are not likely to conjure expectations of high salaries. Biology however has evolved and can now offer opportunities in biotechnology, politics and business realms. These new frontiers are likely to be responsible for the higher salaries garnered to break into the 1%. Biology is the fifth most popular degree among the top 1%, and about 6.7% of those holding it are in the top 1%.
International Relations
About 6.7% of those holding an international relations degree make a top 1% income. Employment in this field varies and can include working in business, government, journalism, teaching, and international service for large multinational organizations like the United Nations or the Red Cross.
Political Science
Similar to obtaining a biology degree, political science majors traditionally are not seen as wealthy career paths. However, the opportunity to pursue law and senior management consulting exists. These professional careers could likely lead to an entrance into the 1%, and about 6.2% of political science degree holders already are in the 1%.
The Bottom Line
Although graduates should focus on selling practical skills along with their degrees, some degrees will offer better chances for becoming a top earner. Many of these degrees have a few common characteristics: the cost of education, specialization of the knowledge and the ability to pursue professional designations. The ability to pursue a post-secondary education helps to guide students into the 1% by providing many different opportunities in highly-skilled work.
