Advanced Engineering Mathematics stroud 4th edition exercises are supplied where appropriate and every programme terminates using a Revision Summary of the primary points covered, a Evaluation Exercise-based right on the work of this programme along with a set of Additional issues that offers an chance for the extra clinic that's vital for guaranteed success. The capability to operate at one's own pace during is of extreme importance in keeping motivation and in attaining mastery. In a number of cases, the subject of a programme is an immediate expansion of fundamental work covered in Engineering Mathematics and in which it's so, the name page of this programme includes a concise reference to the appropriate programme at the very first year therapy. This obviously leads the student to the rewarding revision of the requirements assumed from the additional evolution of the topic matter. An entire set of Replies to all issues and a thorough Index are provided in the close of the publication.

ode to geelong and other sundry matters
last night, while at the mcg, i was finding it hard to concentrate on the game. i was reminiscing in a blasphemous way about the geelong footy of the late '80s and early to mid '90s, about how it seemed more exciting (a certain ablett factor?), more thrilling, more watchable.
it was a beautiful, balmy night. i have never been at a night game in short sleeves before. the showers held off, and i was more enamoured by the circumstances than the game.
we were sitting near a lot of dog fans, and while i don't begrudge success for certain victorian teams (western bulldogs, st kilda, even hawthorn) it was a little annoying when they were chanting their bulldogs thang.
i took photos of my old man with his little spiral notebook, jotting down the scores at the end of each quarter. that's another difference to the old days. back then, he had his quad-colour bic biro, and each colour represented a quarter, and he would meticulously record not only the goals and behinds, but at which minute mark they occurred. he would have those notebooks somewhere, i'm sure. but now the game's too quick, i guess, for him to keep doing that. you blink and you miss something. but still, gary the younger is a joy to watch. the way his speed bursts out of him.
the only real negative of the night were the seagulls. at first, they were lovely; circling high in the dark sky well above the grandstand's roof line. but then, later in the game, they had descended and were either in flocks just above the players where the ball's trajectory followed, or in clusters on the ground. i just don't get why they do a night final. well, i do. but it's wrong.
the person who invents some kind of inaudible sound system which to gulls is a banshee wail, and scares them off - you know, like shop keepers install outside their doors to keep teenagers away at night - will be a wealthy, wealthy person.
haiku for the cats
my nirvana is tapas
at movida, yum
before the finals game.
gulls flying at night
in the black mcg sky
full of poesy.
the balmy night air
soothes my soul for the present
yet i am disturbed.
for i know that soon
i will have to join the crowd
and decide a course.
do i catch the tram
from the seething, close platform?
or do i walk on?
i walk towards lights
my boots are not well-fitting
i struggle on, yeah.
i come to the stop
i have to wait for my tram
it does take an age.
i wait at the stop
wearing my hat of victoire
soon i will be home.
i collapse a'bed
my balls of feet are flaming
yet again, shoe shit.
the cats have won, true
but should i have stayed at home?
and watched from plump couch?
bordello-red couch
so comfy and inviting
no shoes necessaire.

to other matters. i am a list person. i can't help it. and probably my list with the greatest longevity is one i've had going for maybe 20 years or so. it's a list not on one piece of paper, but on many bits. scraps of envelopes, post it notes that have lost their stick or been torn carefully in half, bits of newspaper white-space.
this list is of books that have been recommended to me, that i have seen in medical clinics all over the place, or that i have seen in book shops but not bought for one reason or another. books i have read about in articles, in reviews, in interviews with authors i admire, or more recently online.
all are books that i want. books that i can't even remember why i want them; while sometimes there is the isbn and publisher details, sometimes they are just a title and author floating in space, without any note about what it was that made me write it down.
this is my list, going back years:

but sublists have emerged: songs that either must be ones i can sing for karaoke or ones i want to dance to at my 50th birthday party?

one final, last scrap of paper that i have carried with me since 1994. in ukrainian, the name and address of a young girl i met at a pension we were staying at in marmaris, turkey. she was 11, and she was so beautiful. long, blonde hair, nut-brown skin from the turkish sun, long-limbed and friendly. we "made friends" even though i was a woman and she a girl. she was staying there with her mother, and also her brother. she told me one day, in halting english, that she had a sickness, and pointed to her throat. i slowly worked out that she had become sick from chernobyl, and after marmaris that year, we exchanged letters between australia and ukraine a few times.
now, all these years later, i wonder if she still walks the earth. i can't throw away that piece of paper.
just thinking about her makes me teary. sweet katya.

My Dad also used to fill in all the scores in the Footy Record beside the player's name, then, weirdly, would chuck the Footy Record in the bin on the way out. He would also put in all the quarter by quarter scores of the other matches (back when they were all played Saturday afternoon).
Dad's a Bombers supporter, I'm Tigers, and we went to a lot of matches. Kardinia Park was scary, particulalrly when Geelong lost. Us opposition supporters had to hide our scarves on the way out. I even once contemplated buying a Geelong scarf, just to make sure I got out of there alive.

Oh, and I hate Hawthorn, and I hate St. Kilda, so no matter who you play next week - Go Cats! Being that I have to drive through Geelong to get home, and almost everyone in my little town barracks for them, I've developed a bit of a soft spot for them.

no offence anonymous but those first two pages of the book are horrible. the opening line is shit.
maybe it's best that i don't find some of these books. i'll just watch the movie again maybe.
perseus, are geelong supporters scary or was it just for you as a young tacker? i always think of us as the genteel ones. or maybe that's just me and my dad. he never shouts or upbrades or swears, other than a very rare and quiet "fuck" under his breath. he laughs (very distinctive) and slaps his thighs sometimes when they kick a goal, but no real laughing or thigh-slapping last night.
thanks re haiku little miss.

I have cherishing our daughters, which I bought when my daughter was 2. I lost track of it before I got a chance to finish it. It's a really lovely read, empowering us mothers and understanding the wonderful qualities our girls can grow up with. I've just found it on my bookshelf so I will finish it. Thanks for the reminder.

Apparently they used to use a falcon to scare away the seagulls. I wonder what happened to that.

i want to know where you kept all these scraps of paper prior to their consolidation to the folder... i try so hard to carry a notebook around with me so i can jot down these kind of things but i usually try and make myself remember... which means i forget!

Oh, Melbs, flee from The Historian. My mother in law gave it to me for Christmas a few years back so I felt obliged to read it right to the end. This was painful. My mother in law then read it and complained that I had failed to warn her that it was boring.
Having said that, I probably still have my barely used copy somewhere (probably a box in the shed) so if you want it I'll bring it with me when we catch up.
On that topic, did you get my last email? I'm free more or less every weekend between now and Christmas except 11&12 October.
I should probably also warn you about anything written by Dr Ross Campbell. I haven't read How to Really Love your Child, but I have read the sequel (How to Really Love your Teenager) and I am certain that you would be appalled by most of this dude's advice.
In conclusion, partly because I cannot support any organisation that has any form of association with Jeff Kennett, but mostly because I used to live there, GO CATS!

that's not a bad idea gullybogan. there could be about 10 of them around the ground, up in metallic eyries, where they watch and swoop. they could be trained and wrangled by the fierce knights from kryal castle. i tell you, they could do with a gig. good times.
mex - paper scraps were in the following places:
1. my filofaX x address book, tucked in a little mini plastic pocket and also in the front and back flaps
2. inside various vertical files labelled "miscellaneous" in my filing cabinet.
3. i think i have some still in places like drawers and amongst my boxes of newspaper clippings - i have about 10+ archive boxes of such clippings.
you asked.
INC - my bro recommended the historian not necessarily as a novel of great worth but knowing that princess is obsessed with the twilight series (vampires and werewolves meet humans and fall in love) and also knowing she is half turkish, he suggested that book. i thought i'd read it first to make sure it's "appropriate". really, don't bother? but would still like to read if you can be bothered finding it for me to borrow. also got your last email sorry for being a SLACKARSE again. will get back to you with dates. we are so doing this.
what else? oh, happy to be swayed away from the how to really love your child. it was, after all, recommended to me by an old friend who is now born again christian (sorry, i know you're religious, i am not insulting you) and also amway freak. so the combo of hard core religion and hard core pyramid-salesmanship (but it's not pyramid selling, they say!) renders this recommendation suspect from the beginning. i'd forgotten until you mentioned it who actually suggested it to me.
but thanks.

Generic Brilinta
An unexpired patent currently prevents the manufacturing of any generic Brilinta (ticagrelor) drugs. This patent is scheduled to expire in July 2018, which would be the earliest date that generic versions could become available. However, lawsuits or other patents for new uses of the drug may delay this process.
Brilinta™ (ticagrelor) is a prescription antiplatelet medication. It helps to prevent harmful blood clots from forming in people who have been hospitalized with chest pain or have had a certain type of heart attack. These conditions are often known as acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Brilinta is used in combination with aspirin to reduce the risk of future heart attacks, strokes, or blood clots in a stent (a tube placed in an artery of the heart during an angioplasty procedure).
This medication is manufactured by AstraZeneca LP. There are no generic versions of Brilinta available at this time.
The first patent for Brilinta is currently set to expire in 2018. This is the earliest predictable date that a generic version could become available. However, other circumstances could come up to extend or shorten the exclusivity period. This could include such things as lawsuits or other patents for specific Brilinta uses. It is usually quite difficult to predict when exactly a generic version of any medication may become available.
No -- ticagrelor is the active ingredient in Brilinta but is not a generic version of it. What can be confusing is that the active ingredient of any drug is often referred to as the "generic name." The generic name is different from a generic version of a medicine. In order for there to be a generic version, the original medicine must have gone off-patent, and another company besides the original manufacturer must make the product.

Photoshop textures for 3D visualisations
1 day
In centre:
£please call
Live online:
£please call
Key details
Learn to use Photoshop to create texture maps to use in your architectural visualisations, interior designs and similar projects.
Using the right texture maps in your projects shows your work in the best possible light.
This course teaches the use of Photoshop's features and commands specific to texture-creation. You'll create texture examples which can be translated into multiple areas of work. To see some examples of the types of textures you'll learn to create, and visualisations showing how they can be applied, see Samples.
Photoshop textures for 3D visualisations training is available on-request only, i.e. one-to-one training or a 'closed' course for your group. We don't currently offer scheduled (public) Photoshop textures for 3D visualisations courses.
We can host the training at one of our centres, or your venue anywhere in the UK.
The training can be tailored to take into account any existing knowledge you have, and the type of textures you require for your rendered images.
Accredited Photoshop training
Armada is an Adobe Authorised Training Centre (AATC), accredited by Adobe to provide Photoshop training.
Photoshop textures for 3D visualisations courses are hosted by Rod Cleasby, an expert in the production of photo-realistic visualisations and rendered images
Training guide and certificate
Because of the flexible 'workshop approach' adopted with this course, delegates take their own notes on the topics covered, rather than work through a set training guide.
Delegates receive an e-certificate confirming successful completion of an accredited Photoshop training course. Click here to see an example of the certificate you receive.
After course support
Following SketchUp training, delegates are entitled to 30 days' email support from their trainer to help with any post-course issues. For further details, see Support.
No prior Photoshop knowledge is required. You just need a good working knowledge of your operating system – Windows or iOS.
Photoshop version
Training can be based on any recent version of Photoshop to suit you, running on Windows or Mac.
General information
Course times
Standard course times are 9.30am–4.30pm.
As we'd be hosting this as a 'closed course' for you/your group, there's usually flexibility to change these times to suit you, e.g. start or end 30 minutes earlier or later.
Payment for Photoshop training can be made bank transfer or card.
We accept purchase orders from UK-registered companies.
If you're self-funding your training, you can pay in staged payments, interest-free, over 12 months.
For further details, see training course payment options.

Nikon launched an intriguing new lens this summer though you might have missed it. For whatever reason, the AF-P Nikkor 70-300mm F/4.5-5.6E ED VR, which was announced the second week of July, slipped under most photographers' radar and that's a shame.
The new Nikon Nikkor full frame AF-P 70-300mm zoom lens really hits the mark. Auto focusing speed is extremely fast and accurate--the focused image literally jumps into the view finder the instant you press the shutter release. The new optics are superior as evidenced by the six photos below.
Bought this to pair with a Nikon 1 V2 specifically for shooting birds in flight. The maximum reach is 810mm at F5.6 on a V2. This combo is much lighter and smaller than a DSLR and 500 or 600mm lens but with comparable results. Very sharp lens.
Don't get me wrong: this lens is AMAZING and I simply LOVE it. I also think that Nikon 1 concept is great: quality light weight, small, fast and quite camera with interchangeable lens. Being able to easily hold in one hand more than 800mm is not trivial at all.
Was this review helpful?
Light lens that can reach 800mm and take sharp photos without tripod at 1/80
Need to have steady hands. Hand movement is greatly magnified by 2.7 times at 800mm
I use the Nikon1 system professionally in my work as a still photographer on TV productions. I own almost all the 1 Nikkor lenses. The addition of the 70-300 will let me get closer to the action than before. I've also have the FT-1 which I use with a couple larger Nikon lenses.
Easy to use and takes great pictures
I first bought a Nikon 1 V2 for digiscoping then I bought this lens. It is absolutely incredible. Even at full zoom with a steady hand you can consistently get sharp images. The camera with lens weighs very little.

High energy wouldn't even begin to characterize most photo shoots with kids under the age of, oh, who knows? And these guys weren't any exception. Luckily mom and dad were cool to just let me hang out snapping away, catching some of the crazy and love and wonder.
Though big sis was happy to ham for the camera….
The day was really meant to be about this butter bean…..
Very occasionally a couple will ask me to get a pic of just them during a family photo shoot – and although it doesn't come as naturally to me as photographing kiddos, I always love being able to get a few images of just mom & dad – both for them and for their children as they grow.
And boy does getting two kiddos this age to take a family pic get to be a whole lot of crazy (and usually funny) work!
Thanks you guys for a lovely time!

Some excellent free activities are sex, talking about the weather, and defecation.
A few more: dreaming, library books, jaywalking.
I sell toilets — not free.
You want a urinal? What kind? Stainless steel?
When I sleep, I see gold and brown dots, and movement. It's entertaining and free. I have a friend who sees bright lights — red and black — when he falls asleep. I don't.
People say, "Hey, look out your window and get some sensory stimulus." That's fine, but I prefer looking inside toilets. The blank looks I get.
How about a 0.8 gpf for $150 total? Would you buy one? Niagara Stealth. How about five Stealths at a discount?
I say, "I know you don't want to talk about toilets, but think of the sudden shifts, the transitions, the swoosh."
A good bowel movement is as good as sex; Harvey Pekar, the comic book writer, said that. I sold 10 toilets to Stratton — this blog's author — with that literary crap. The froth, the bubbles, the shine.
I still have an intensity, to this day, that goes back to age 21. Yes, my life is scarier now that I'm 35, but I'm not at "flush" yet. I have a slick pack of possibilities, and I appreciate deep listening.
Lavatory means sink to a plumber. Commode, yourself! By the way, you look like an elongated toilet seat.
When a stranger takes off her pants and sits on one of my toilets, that's a good feeling — a fragile catastrophe, a tinge of very heavy weight, a grand opening.
The key factors: the empathic rictus, the squeeze, the brilliant flash.
It's all binary. One and two. Map it.

Gee, Bert, you really outdid yourself this week with such a tasteful diatribe. Perhaps you should have begun with an X rating as a warning to us delicate souls.

text: I couldn't have picked a better day for a road race. It wasn't too hot, it wasn't too cold, it was dry, I had tons of friends and clubmates running in the Mercer Island Half Marathon, and there were even friends by the side of the course cheering us on. Nice!

For many golfers across the Des Moines metro and beyond, it is hard to justify a golf membership. For some it is the cost and others it is not having enough time to golf as much as you need to make the membership worth it. But as golf courses look to evolve to keep rounds played up, new types of memberships at public courses are showing up at greatly reduced cost to entice golfers to call that course home.
While most courses will offer weekday, junior and senior memberships, Golf DSM wanted to look at membership offerings that are more unique. I took a look at golf courses around the Des Moines metro and some courses a short drive away to find which courses are offering these memberships. Also we looked at how many rounds you would have to play (based on 18 holes walking during prime rates) to make the membership worth it.
***Rates based on Individual Membership.
Bos Landen Golf Club - 9 Hole Membership
Cost: $800
Rounds to be worth it: 29
The highly regarded golf club in Pella offers a 9 hole membership for people that don't usually have the time to play a full round. The cost comes in at exactly half that of a normal membership. And in case you wanted to play 18 holes one day they offer a special rate to these members for the extra 9 holes.
Lake Panorama National Golf Course - Distance & New Member memberships
Cost: $825 for distance, $649 for New Member
Rounds to be worth it: 18 / 14
If you live more than 18 miles from the course you qualify for the distance membership. You need to never have previously been a member at LPN before to qualify for the new member deal.
Terrace Hills Golf Course - Twilight and Half Season memberships
Cost: $385 for Twilight, varies for half season.
Rounds to be worth it: 31
If you are a fan of twilight golf or just looking for a way to get one of the cheapest golf memberships in town, Terrace Hills is the place for you. An additional perk is the Twilight Membership offers play starting at 3pm, earlier than normal twilight rates. Terrace Hills also offers 50% off most memberships starting June 25th.
Toad Valley Golf Course - Twilight & Weekend memberships
Cost: $400 for Twilight, $420 for Weekend
Rounds to be worth it: 27 for Twilight , 24 for Weekend
Toad Valley offers a similar Twilight membership for those that like to play after work or when the course is less crowded. They also offer a weekend only membership for those that are weekend warriors.
Waveland, AH Blank, Grandview & Jester Park Golf Courses - Multi course membership
Cost: $1300
Rounds to be worth it: Roughly 45, depending on which course you are playing.
Veenker Memorial Golf Course - Monthly Membership
Cost: $250
Rounds to be worth it: 8
Do you have one or two months that you have more availability to play golf than others? Then Veenker is the place for you. The monthly membership is a great option for a course located next to a large university. The membership last 30 days from when you purchase it is only $150 for Iowa State students and juniors 17 and under.
Westwood Golf Course - Young Adult membership
Cost: $389
Rounds to be worth it: 19
Westwood in Newton offers a membership that is common at private golf clubs but not usually seen at a public course. People ages 22-35 can save $150 on their membership compared to the regular membership cost.
Woodward Golf Club - New Member and Young Adult Memberships
Cost: $775 for New Memeber, $450 for Young Adult
Rounds to be worth it: 33 for New Member, 19 for Young Adult
New members (have not been a member for last 4 years) save $285 off the normal membership cost while those 26 and under save over $400.

Concerned about identity theft? Our RFID Blocking Credit Card Sleeves prevent unauthorized access to your credit cards by creating a metallic shield around your card that blocks skimming attacks.
RFID-blocking WalletGuard is laboratory tested and FIPS 201 approved. Click here to learn more.
My experience was fine but the sleeves seem very cheap! I bought the first ones I had about 3 years ago from QVC and they l lasted all this time and they were made by your company! But these sleeves seem cheaply made. I have had to tape one already! I don't see them lasting that long!! So I'm disappointed about the product!!
Hi Bonnie - Sorry to hear that your RFID Blocking Sleeves are not holding up. We will be shipping you out a replacement package. If you have any other issues be sure to let us know.
I have had my sleevs for years time to get new ones
We have used these for years and always feel much more secure about the cards in our wallets. We are replacing to get new ones because we want to freshen them up! They fit so nicely in our wallets and are not bulky.
At first glance, I wasn't sure I wanted this product because the sleeves are paper thin ( I had copper foiled lined ones before). I had my sister take one and try it out using her door entry card at work. The card would not work while in the sleeve. The sleeves also fit nicely in a wallet. The designs are cute and make the sleeves easy to spot.
I always order a new set of credit card sleeves and/or passport protectors annually. This way, I can throw out my old ones away without having to worry about having my identity stolen. #IDprotection
So far so good. They arrived in good order. and I have used two of them so far. I have no issues with them or the company. Thanks, Dianne
No real opinion since I could only tell if they didn't work or I knew if someone tried scan my cards and could not. Thus 4 stars. I am sharing them with others confident that they will work.
Very happy with the products I purchased. Need a few more card sleeves to return soon to purchase
Hope it works! Very costly to repair identity theft damage!
I got this for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. Fits well in his pocket and feels less awkward.

There may not be a lovelier scene in Germany than the town of Cochem, couched in the high, vine-clad slopes of the Moselle Valley.
The town of half-timbered houses, scurrying streets and medieval gates is on a loop in the river, under the steady watch of the Romantic Reichsburg castle.
The Moselle cuts through two hiking paradises, the Eifel and Hunsrück ranges, while there's a trail along the valley threading through vineyards and past Medieval castles to Koblenz or Trier.
Or you can take it easy, sipping local Riesling on the town's half-timbered squares and kicking back on a cruise on the Moselle.
Kiss you,

New Interactive CBS Murder Mystery Debuts this Spring
Harper's Island, the new CBS murder mystery set to air this spring, isn't just coming to TV. The 13-episode series is being presented as a multi-platform interactive program with portions of the show being aired online and on mobile devices.
CBS partnered with social entertainment company EQAL, creators of YouTube hits lonelygirl15 and KateModern, to produce a collaborative show in which overlapping characters and plots will evolve online and on mobile devices throughout the season. The show debuts April 9 at 10 p.m. but the online interactive social show starts weeks earlier on March 18.
"It's not a pre-requisite to go online in order to follow the series on-air but those who do will have an authentic entertainment experience" said Nancy Tellem, president of CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group. EQAL collaborated with CBS on the writing, producing, and directing of the program and will also contribute technological infrastructure to host the social show.
Harper's Island is about a wedding held on a secluded island. As the festivities begin, a murderer claims victims from the wedding party. Everyone from wedding guests to the island locals is suspected of the crime and each week more lives are taken.
CBS Interactive and EQAL formed a partnership in May 2008. EQAL conceptualizes and produces multi-platform shows for CBS' on-air programs and acts as a consulting partner for CBS Interactive. The network gets 'first look' at new shows being developed by EQAL.

What if providers could create a map of patients who need focused attention, much like a star map plotting the universe's constellations? With a new tool, enabled by Partners HealthCare's shared electronic health record (EHR) system, Partners providers can do just that—eliminating lags in care and better matching chronic and preventive care with patients who need it.
Using real-time data from patient EHRs, the tool creates online reports that support patient outreach and condition-specific interventions. The database of clinical information allows users to track gaps in their patients' care—such as poorly controlled blood pressure, cholesterol, or blood sugar, or a missed cancer screening—and act accordingly to close those gaps.
"With this tool we can organize a vast amount of data into usable information," says Mary Merriam, RN, Director of Program Operations for Central Population Management at Brigham and Women's Hospital. "It's like having a star map of the universe. Having this type of data helps both the Population Health Coordinators and care teams manage their patients and their needs both in and outside of practice."
The new approach enabled by the Partners EHR overcomes previous barriers to population health management, such as disparate databases, manual reports, and multi-step processes. With the tool's reports that indicate each patient's needs, and designated Population Health Coordinators equipped to take action based on the information, Partners providers are poised to both enhance care and better measure its quality and outcomes.

DNA damage is often responsible for many types of diseases such as cancer. In cells, the most common type of DNA damage is the double strand break (DSB). Cells have many rescue methods to repair their broken DNA. This summer, I worked at a lab and helped a postdoc on her project in studying the role of sumoylation in promoting DNA checkpoint in yeast.
In summary, once a DSB is detected, a cascade of proteins are recruited, as shown in the diagram above. One result of the DSB repair process is cell cycle arrest, also known as the checkpoint response. While the cell cycle is arrested, the cell initiates homologous recombination, which is the main repair mechanism for a DSB. This is when sumoylation of the common protein, RPA occurs.
There is evidence of a link between the checkpoint response and the sumoylation of RPA. By creating many yeast strains with varying genotypes, we study how the sumoylation of RPA is involved in the checkpoint response.
I went through the process shown to the left for each strain. Beginning with mating, the entire process takes about a week. At first I experienced some trouble with primers for PCR, and with my mentor's help, we troubleshooted our process. Within a week, we managed to fix the issue and come out with beautiful gels. This was a valuable laboratory experience for me since I learned how to go about analyzing and correcting my methods. By the end of the summer, I built about 12 different strains that will be useful in understanding the significance of sumoylation in DNA damage checkpoint.
The most tedious but one of my favorite parts of this experience was learning how to dissect yeast tetrads. I spent hours at the dissection microscope carefully separating each of the four clumped spores and placing them carefully in rows on the plate. The next few days I would watch them grow into neat little rows of colonies, and then proceed to select and analyze each colony.
This experience allowed me to thoroughly explore the processes of homologous recombination and the DNA checkpoint in a model organism, yeast. I was excited to have such an excellent opportunity to study and understand the unique proteins involved in the steps of DNA repair firsthand. As I learned each of their roles, I became more and more fascinated in the complexity of the cell's processes. With this enthusiasm, I look forward to studying biology in the future.

Older video Hawaii volcano eruption updates Kilauea EXPLODES again as earthquakes hit Big Island
Old video for information only! Hawaii volcano eruption updates Kilauea EXPLODES again as earthquakes hit Big Island THE ERUPTION of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has shown no signs of slowing down as earthquakes continue to shake the volcano's summit. Lava flows continue from explosive fissure 8 as the United States Geological Society (USGS) work to track activity. The USGS are continuing to monitor Kilauea's activity, hoping to predict what will happen next at the explosive volcano. Recent images produced by the USGS have shown that the Halema'uma'u crater has nearly doubled in size since mid-May. Halema'uma'u crater is located inside the summit of Kilauea in Hawaii National Volcanoes Park. The USGS said: "Magma in the summit magma chamber has drained over the past month due to the Lower East Rift Zone eruption, causing much of the floor and rim of Halema'uma'u to drop or collapse. "These changes have resulted in a much deeper crater, with rubble covering the floor." The crater now reaches below the previous crater floor, with the deepest part measured at 280m. On June 9, scientists from the USGS placed GPS stations around the Halema'uma'u crater, to "better monitor and measure the ongoing subsidence of Halema'uma'u and the adjacent caldera floor." With the GPS stations, scientists can monitor the seismic activity, as well as where lava remains around the crater.

Transition Planning & Guidance™, LLC, (TransitionPG®) does not manage money and will not ask you to move your money. We do not sell financial products and will not pressure you to buy investment products. There is no conflict when we talk about your money.
Life is more than accumulating money – it's about living the lifestyle YOU envision and CAN afford. Over the years, life has become more complicated. What used to be normal expectations have shifted. We've redefined many long-held ideas about lifestyle and retirement.
Is the American dream still owning your home – or has it been redefined to increase flexibility to move wherever and whenever you want?
Are you still expected to have children – or has it been redefined where couples make their own decisions?
Is retirement still ending your career at 65 years old – or has it been redefined to find your second career in life to keep your mind engaged and youthful?
We used to talk about the balance between personal life and work life. But realistically with technology, there are no clear boundaries. We have to figure out how to integrate our life with work – or vice versa. With more integration in these two areas, there is a stronger desire to find work which aligns with your passion. One thing we easily lose sight of is that it doesn't happen overnight. It's a journey.
With all these changes from the norm and desire to live many of life experiences, isn't it time we relooked at how we develop our financial goals? That's what Transition Planning & Guidance, LLC, ("TransitionPG®") does – we look at all aspects of life using the 5 P's of Life – personal relationships, personal finance, profession, peace of mind, and physical health. While money helps you achieve many goals, it's not the only thing to consider when developing a financial plan.
Once your plan is developed, we provide action-oriented guidance to help you achieve your financial, personal, and professional goals. Planning services have either a fixed rate or are billed at an hourly rate on a retained basis. Guidance Plans have a fixed annual rate, paid quarterly.

Angus event presses on with 'Storage 2020' campaign
There was a strong turn-out of regional growers for the new Angus Storage Day held at the end of February. The event followed hard on the heels of the recent, successful 'Storage 2020' conference and continued apace with the campaign's aims of ensuring GB potato storage remains fit for purpose to 2020 and beyond.
Adrian Cunnington, head of Sutton Bridge Crop Storage facility (SBCSR) stated "Progress in store efficiency is happening out there but there is work to be done. Leaky buildings could be improved to save between 30% and 50% of energy costs and the difference between the best and worst refrigeration systems can be significant. I would really encourage industry to set up energy monitoring systems for their stores so any inefficiencies can be identified and rectified."
Robert Burns, head of seed and export at AHDB Potatoes, reinforced the successes that the Safe Haven scheme is having at preventing any ingress of notifiable diseases from overseas into GB seed, which could cost industry up to £25m per year if they were ever to establish in the seed chain.
Dr Daan Kiezebrink, of Scottish Rural University College (SRUC) and Dr Glyn Harper of SBCSR examined the diseases that commonly affect potatoes in store, such as dry rot, black dot and skin spot (amongst others) and how store managers can take positive action to prevent and minimise these developing in store. "Whilst timely and thorough fungicide applications are important" advised Daan "general good husbandry - such as planting healthy tubers, early haulm destruction and lifting and avoiding damage - is key to disease control and, if good enough, can minimise the use of fungicides."
Glyn stressed the influence of temperature, condensation and hygiene on stored tubers. "There are simple measures you can take to control hygiene and therefore reduce disease development in store" advised Glyn. "Dust carries disease – silver scurf spores, for example, are minute and can float around easily in a storage unit." "Minimise the spread of contaminated dust. Separate your grader from your stores, and remove dust by regular vacuuming."
With crop damage at harvest costing industry £200/hectare each year, Claire Hodge, Technical Executive of the AHDB Potatoes led discussions around minimising crop damage and bruising at harvest and grading which provided further food-for-thought. "Bruising damage is the most common cause of rejections" advised Claire. "Protecting your crop during harvesting, grading and loading into stores is vital and it's all about teamwork – with each member of staff working 'in sync' with the others. Even if you have experienced personnel, the new AHDB Potatoes Damage Awareness videos will reinforce the key areas which always need attention at this crucial time." These new Damage Awareness videos supplemented the discussions, showing growers how to protect tubers from damage during lifting, grading and loading into stores.
AHDB Potatoes suite of storage best practice information (including disease control) can be found here and hard copies are available at our events or on request.

Drew Barrymore has ranked Jake Gyllenhaal as her least talented co-star during a game on The Late Late Show With James Corden on Wednesday.
The Never Been Kissed star appeared on the chat show to promote her Netflix series Santa Clarita Diet, and joined John Boyega and James for a round of Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts, in which celebrities have to eat gross food if they refuse to answer a tough question.
On her turn, she was asked to rank her co-stars Jake, Adam Sandler, Hugh Grant from most to least talented, and she replied, "Jake Gyllenhaal so I don't have to eat a turkey's ball.
"When I run into him next time, I'll be like, 'dude, it was selling you down the river or eating turkey's balls,'" she joked. "I don't even care if he hates me, I'm not (eating that). Oh God. I literally am doing this because I won't make it, I'm gonna (vomit) all over the place."
Drew then put her frequent collaborator Adam, who she starred alongside in 50 First Dates, The Wedding Singer and Blended, at the top, followed her Music and Lyrics co-star Hugh, putting her Donnie Darko co-star last.
"I'm sorry, Jake, it was the turkey testicles!" she protested.
During the game, she was also asked which chat show appearance she has enjoyed the least during her current press tour, but she refused to pick between Ellen DeGeneres, Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert's shows, meaning she had to drink some bird saliva.
She wasn't the only one to give an honest answer – James avoided eating a thousand-year-old egg by revealing that he had once stolen a candle from Mariah Carey's house.
"We'd gone to film this Christmas Carpool Karaoke. I went to go to her house and we were going to film it from there," he explained. "We were supposed to film at 3 and I was told get there at 4 and they'll probably be ready. I waited in her living room until about 6:30 just on my own, and I thought, well, I'm going to take this candle for my time, and I still have it today. I'm sorry Mariah, you had loads."

Fresh off a 3-game sweep over Chaffey College, the Pasadena City College baseball team learned this morning it is at #16 on this week's CCCSIA State Top 20 Rankings. On Monday, the Lancers brought out the brooms and rallied to beat the host Panthers, 8-5, thanks to clutch hitting by catcher Cole Pilar.
A sophomore transfer, Pilar is on a hitting tear, 17-for-32 (since March 5) and raised his team-leading batting average to .420. He batted 4-for-6, including RBI singles in the sixth and seventh innings, then a run-scoring double in the ninth. He finished with four RBI as he started the day by doubling in a run in the third inning. PCC trailed 5-3 after five, but came back with two runs in both the sixth and seventh frames. Pilar, who is presently ninth in the state in batting, is second in California in on-base percentage at a staggering .556 clip.
Pilar's defense has also been very strong as he has gunned out nine runners trying to steal and has a .981 fielding percentage.
The Lancers are 15-7 overall and now 7-4 in the South Coast Conference North Division, trailing first-place (and unranked) Mt. San Antonio (15-11, 9-2) by two games. The top two spots in the conference receive automatic berths to the SoCal Playoffs. PCC is trying to make the postseason for the third consecutive season under head coach Pat McGee, who turned the program's fortunes around when he was hired for the 2015 season.
Third baseman Marco Martinez was 2-for-3 with three walks. Martinez, a freshman, raised his average to .385 and is seventh in the state in OBP at .534. Pillar and Martinez each have drawn 19 walks. Letterman leftfielder Edward Manzo went 3-for-5 while shortstop Jake Sanchez, who has been playing regularly since an injury to starter Ryan Lewis earlier this month, was 1-for-2 with a double and two walks. Centerfielder Gabriel Arellano stole home in the sixth inning, but after his hot hitting over the first 19 games, has cooled off with his average dropping to .396.
PCC once again received a sterling pitching performance. This time it was letterman reliever Frank Gonzalez, who hurled four innings of 3-hit shutout ball to earn his first win. He lowered his ERA to 0.84 in 21-1/3 innings of work this year.
The Lancers begin a 3-game series today (Tuesday, Mar. 26) with a SCC North contest at Rio Hondo College. Game time is 2:30 p.m.

RCCC got all the members, families and even a couple visitors together for a St. Patrick's Day social filled with green beads, flashing lights, great food and a couple cold Irish adult beverages!! Fellowship is part of everything we do and involving our Rotary families is critical to this part of our club!! We want to involve our spouses, children and friends in what we do not have them see us go out the door to "Rotary" every week!! We want everyone to know each other and celebrate the " Family of Rotary". Have you been looking for a a service opportunity that can involve your family and be more of an extension rather than something that takes you away?

Service Projects
We continue to have our monthly service projects and making changes in our community!

We knew that things would take off for our little club when our model was in full swing!! We have had so many service projects, new members and this all on top of our official banner ceremony it is a challenge to keep up!! We have had service projects at the Blood Center, one at a farm for recovering children and siblings with cancer. We have inducted some awesome members with many more in the process!! There comes a time as a club establishes its own culture that you are evaluating what is important and what we hold precious to our future. Our founding principles of fellowship and service have continue to expand and attracting a great deal of attention both
in the district and around the world. Come see the new model of a Rotary club and why this is NOT what you expected!

In a unanimous opinion in County of Los Angeles v. Mendez the Supreme Court rejected the "provocation rule," where police officers using reasonable force may be liable for violating the Fourth Amendment because they committed a separate Fourth Amendment violation that contributed to their need to use force. The State and Local Legal Center (SLLC) filed an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to reject the Ninth Circuit's provocation rule.
Police officer entered the shack Mendez was living in without a warrant and unannounced. Mendez thought the officers were the property owner and picked up the BB gun he used to shoot rats so he could stand up. When the officers saw the gun, they shot him resulting in his leg being amputated below the knee.
In its amicus brief in County of Los Angeles v. Mendez the State and Local Legal Center (SLLC) asks the Supreme Court to reject the "provocation" rule, where any time a police officer violates the Fourth Amendment and violence ensues, the officer will be personally liable for money damages for the resulting physical injuries.
Everyone agrees police officers used reasonable force when they shot Angel Mendez. As officers entered, unannounced, the shack where Mendez was staying they saw a silhouette of Mendez pointing what looked like a rifle at them. The Ninth Circuit awarded him and his wife damages because the officers didn't have a warrant in violation of the Fourth Amendment to search the shack thereby "provoking" Mendez.

Faten Alzaid
Hello everyone. It is nice to share ideas in this blog area. Hence, I would like to share with you and write my first comment.
I am originally from Saudi Arabia. I speak three languages; Arabic, English and a little bit of French. Arabic is my first language and most of my educational life was in Arabic too. Being immerse with Arabic all the time, I always have a desire to teach a new and different language than Arabic. Hence, I decided to specialized in the English language teaching field in my bachelor degree. Since then, English became my favorite and second language. Honestly, I have never been fluent in English and satisfied until I arrived to Montreal four years ago and started learning English language from the zero again. The reason behind that was due to the fact that when I was at my hometown, I was not able to match the language with its cultural content and applied it out side the classroom. I also never practiced speaking in English out side academic contexts due to two reasons; 1) I was not confidant of my language ability at that time 2) there were not enough daily contexts to practice in real life, out side the classroom.
Later on, I realized that "Practice" is the first and last step that will shape a language. I remember that my English became way better when I started making Anglophone friends here in Montreal. I was forcing my self to speak and socialize with English speakers as much as I could. Some times I tend to start friendly short conversations with strangers in the street which have helped me today to be fluent in English. Practice the language in the context where is the language is surrounded by its own culture can make more sense to a language learner. In other words, studying a language and integrate it with a specific culture in classroom might not make sense to learners unless they go out the classroom, practice and visualize that culture. Since then, I always believe that the key concept to master a new language is not only to practice, but also to integrate the language, culture and social factors together.
Few years after that experience, I became a teacher of both English and Arabic language. I always put some efforts through my lessons to integrate social and cultural factors as passible as I can. Furthermore, I still believe that making students surrounded by social and cultural practices can prevent them from straggling to learn the language as I did earlier in my life.
Based on our discussion last week, I am inspired to share In this blog and show you how social and cultural factors can influence both language teaching and learning. I will take you through my experience in teaching English language at one of the schools in Saudi Arabia.
Three years ago, I was doing the internship required for my bachelor degree in Saudi Arabia. I was required to teach English language for fourth grade students. There were thirty students in that class who came from various and different nationalities. There were Syrian, Egyptian, Sudanese, Somali, and Palestinian students beside Saudi. At that time, the curriculum that I taught was based on Saudi social life, culture, and religion. I was worry about how would I teach theses cultural aspects to them beside the English language. However, I was surprise that it was not challenging for me to adapt the context to fit other students who came from out side Saudi Arabia. I found out the reason behind that is the fact that students were surrounded intensively by the Saudi culture out side the classroom in a way that made it easier for them to catch up with the language and its content.
Finally, I realized that sociolinguistics plays a major role in our language teaching in and out side classroom. It is interesting to highlight that books alone can not teach the language unless socializing and practicing are integrated!
