DUSHANBE, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- The security services of Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan kick off a joint counter-terror drill on Thursday to improve interaction between members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in countering real terrorist threats.
The "Jetisu-Antiterror 2014" exercise will unfold within their borders and last into September, according to the press service of the CIS anti-terrorism center.
The Belarusian State Security Agency and State Border Committee will be assisted by specialists from Russia's state-run nuclear agency Rosatom to practice investigative techniques and other operations to counter the threat of terrorists attempting to transfer radioactive materials across Belarusian borders.
Following the Belarusian stage of the drill, Russia's Federal Security Service is to continue practicing the identification and arrest of "terrorists" and their "associates." The Kazakh special services are then scheduled to do the same.

How long do I have to give notice to my employer that I hurt myself at work?
How long do I have to give notice to my employer that I hurt myself at work? Sometimes injured workers do not report their on-the-job injury right away. There can be any number of reasons for delayed reporting. Sometimes a supervisor is not available. Sometimes the worker does not realize they are injured until later. The South Carolina Workers' Compensation Act allows an employee 90 days to give notice to their employer that they were injured at work. No compensation shall be payable unless notice of the injury is given within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the accident, unless a reasonable excuse is made to the satisfaction of the Commission for not giving such notice and the Commission is satisfied that the employer is not prejudiced S.C. Code Ann. § 42-15-20. You have 90 days to report your accident. Sometimes employers have policies that you must report your accident immediately or within 24 hours. Those are your employer's rules, and may result in disciplinary action if they are not followed. Even though your employer has their own rules, they do not affect the official 90 day reporting window in the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Act. The employer does not have to pay for your medical care or lost time from before you reported the accident If you receive medical care or miss time from work before you notify your employer of the accident and injury, you employer does not have to pay your doctor bills or lost time, unless the employer had knowledge of the accident. Occupational diseases With an occupational disease, the "accident" occurs, for notice purposes, when the workers' compensation claimant becomes disabled and could, through reasonable diligence, discover that his condition is compensable under the Workers' Compensation Act. Muir v. C.R. Bard, Inc. 336 S.C. 266, 519 S.E.2d 583 (S.C. App. 1999). Report your accident and injury immediately to make the strongest case for workers' compensation benefits, Although you legally have 90 days to report your injury, practically your case is stronger the closer to the actual accident you report your injury. Your case becomes harder to prove that your injury is related to work the longer you wait.

Scene one has more variety, making the barely average technical quality and bland location almost palatable. When the same elements crop up in scene two, our forgiveness ends.

The present invention concerns a method to adjust an auditory system that comprises at least one hearing aid, whereby a plurality of setting configurations are provided in the auditory system. Moreover, the present invention concerns a corresponding auditory system with at least one hearing aid.
If a person hard of hearing obtains a hearing aid (for example, a hearing device, a middle ear implant, or a cochlea implant), it is individually adapted to him. This ensues in a first step via an initial adaptation that is normally implemented by a hearing device acoustician. In a plurality of subsequent sessions at the hearing device acoustician, the hearing device is optimized little by little in its adjustment such that it meets the individual requirements of the hearing device user. Since the attempts by a hearing device acoustician normally involve expense, in many cases this fine tuning is avoided and necessary fine adjustments are no longer implemented.
In this context, a hearing aid is known from International patent publication no. WO 99/19779 A1 with a fuzzy logic system and a neural net that must be trained. A programmable hearing device can be adapted with an auxiliary device via an interactive procedure. However, no adaptations to everyday situations occur that are specific to the hearing device user.
Furthermore, hearing devices are known from the published German patent publication DE 198 15 373 A1 and European patent publication EP 0 341 997 B1 in which modification data sets are hard coded which are activated in special situations relative to a base setting. This reference discloses how the known data sets for various auditory programs and situations are physically stored given the adaptation in the hearing device.
The object of the present invention is to provide a different mechanism of an adaptation for the hearing device user.
This object is inventively achieved via a method to adjust an auditory system that comprises at least one hearing aid, with the steps: provide a plurality of setting configurations in the auditory system; automatic classification of a current auditory situations; offer a group of setting configurations from the plurality of setting configurations, dependent on the classified auditory situation; and interactive selection with the auditory system of a setting configuration from the group of setting configurations.
Moreover, an auditory system is inventively provided with at least one hearing aid and a storage device to provide a plurality of setting configurations; a classification device to automatically classify an auditory situation; a calculation device to automatically select a group of setting configurations from the plurality of setting configurations, dependent on the classified auditory situation; and an input device for interactive selection of a setting configuration from the group of setting configurations.
With this, a fine adjustment of a hearing aid, optimized for the relevant situations of the hearing device user, is enabled without the assistance of a specialist. The hearing device user also does not have to possess any knowledge at all about the auditory system. The adaptation ensues merely in that the preferred settings are selected.
According to the various embodiments of the invention described as follows, the interactive selection can ensue with one or more operating elements on the hearing aid. Given a comfortable design of an embodiment of the auditory system, the interactive selection may ensue with the aid of a remote control. In the broadest sense, a mobile telephone (that, for example, communicates with the hearing aid via a Bluetooth interface) also counts as such a remote control. A likewise comfortable variant is that the interactive selection ensues via speech input via a corresponding speech input unit.
All of the method steps can be implemented in and/or on the at least one hearing aid. This applies when all devices (namely the storage device, the classification device, the calculation device and the input device) are integrated into the at least one hearing aid of the inventive system. No additional external devices are required in order to interactively adjust the hearing aid. However, in principle the setting event can also be implemented with the aid of external systems. Such external systems can also be provided for the input of data in order to, for example, swap out computer intelligence. This can in particular be the case for what are known as in-the-ear hearing devices or implants that, due to shortage of space, cannot, for example, possess a large storage device for setting configurations and a calculation device for automatic selection of a group of setting configurations.
The group of setting configurations is preferably determined via a simplex method. Simplex methods are known as optimization methods for "interactive fittings" (IAF). They are based on a systematic algorithm and automatically converge on an optimal setting.
The setting configurations can be designed for binaural auditory systems. The setting of each of the two hearing aids can ensue individually, or the corresponding data can be wirelessly exchanged between the hearing aids when the interactive adjustments ensue via a hearing aid that serves as a "master".
The present invention is now explained in detail using the attached drawings.
The subsequently specified exemplary embodiments represent preferred embodiments of the present invention with regard to a hearing device. However, the invention is also applicable to other hearing aids.
The inventive setting event can be understood in principle with the aid of
The current amplification characteristic curve 1 over the frequency f is symbolized in
After the hearing device user has determined that the current characteristic curve 1 is not optimal for him in this situation, he initiates the adaptation process, such that a first new characteristic curve 3 is offered to him after the classification. The hearing device user likewise rates this as non-optimal, since it exhibits too-high of an amplification in the low-frequency range. The auditory system thereupon offers a second new characteristic curve 4 that is below the first new characteristic curve 3 but above the original characteristic curve 1. When the hearing device user also feels that this second new characteristic curve 4 is also not optimal, the auditory system again always outputs new characteristic curves until the optimal characteristic curve 2 is found. A systematic algorithm sees to it that the input characteristic curves converge with the optimal characteristic curve 2.
Two known algorithmic approaches are utilized in the technical realization:
Both algorithms can be integrated into the auditory system or, respectively, run completely or in part on an external system.
A plurality of setting configurations are initially provided to the auditory system 20 (
In addition to the current setting configuration or, respectively, parameter configuration, the hearing device user is offered a further setting configuration (characteristic curve 3) dependent on the classified situation 24. This ensues, for example, in that the hearing device user switches back and forth between two settings or, respectively, programs. This switching can also ensue automatically within a set time interval. The hearing device user selects the preferred setting, for example by pressing a key provided for this 26. The system hereupon calculates (with the calculator 36) the next setting configuration, which the hearing device user can again adjust before the selection. The optimization event automatically stops after fulfillment of a defined stop criterion, or can be stopped as desired by the hearing device user. The optimization event can be restarted at any time.
The system stores (storage device 32) the optimal setting with regard to the respective auditory situation and recalls it again automatically when the user is located in a likewise classified situation. In the event that the user is located in a situation that is not recognized by the classification system, an average setting configuration can, for example, be selected as a hearing device setting that is comprised of average values of the individual parameters over the presently existing settings.
In an embodiment of the invention, the interactive adaptation can also ensue over an arbitrarily long span of time in which no relative comparisons are undertaken between two or more setting configurations, but rather the interaction ensues via a spontaneous, absolute evaluation of the current setting by the user. Such an absolute evaluation can ensue in a binary manner via, for example, "good/bad" or, also via a multi-stage mark scale. For this, the evaluation can, for example, be input by way of a remote control, a special code of the operating elements of the auditory system, or per speech input in the auditory system.
In a special embodiment, the situation recognition (meaning the classification) is implemented in a remote control that moreover possesses a control unit for the setting optimization. The hearing device parameters or, respectively, setting configurations are calculated by the remote control and transferred to the hearing device.
The hearing device user is therewith in the position to test and, as needed, to readjust a hearing device in everyday life with the first setting provided by the hearing device acoustician. It is thus no longer necessary that the hearing device user seeks a specialist or, respectively, hearing device acoustician for readjustment. The optimization event is also clearly improved, in that the respective optimization occurs in a real everyday situation and not in an approximate manner, under laboratory conditions.
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference has been made to the preferred embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and specific language has been used to describe these embodiments. However, no limitation of the scope of the invention is intended by this specific language, and the invention should be construed to encompass all embodiments that would normally occur to one of ordinary skill in the art.
The present invention may be described in terms of functional block components and various processing steps. Such functional blocks may be realized by any number of hardware and/or software components configured to perform the specified functions. For example, the present invention may employ various integrated circuit components, e.g., memory elements, processing elements, logic elements, look-up tables, and the like, which may carry out a variety of functions under the control of one or more microprocessors or other control devices. Similarly, where the elements of the present invention are implemented using software programming or software elements the invention may be implemented with any programming or scripting language such as C, C++, Java, assembler, or the like, with the various algorithms being implemented with any combination of data structures, objects, processes, routines or other programming elements. Furthermore, the present invention could employ any number of conventional techniques for electronics configuration, signal processing and/or control, data processing and the like.
The particular implementations shown and described herein are illustrative examples of the invention and are not intended to otherwise limit the scope of the invention in any way. For the sake of brevity, conventional electronics, control systems, software development and other functional aspects of the systems (and components of the individual operating components of the systems) may not be described in detail. Furthermore, the connecting lines, or connectors shown in the various figures presented are intended to represent exemplary functional relationships and/or physical or logical couplings between the various elements. It should be noted that many alternative or additional functional relationships, physical connections or logical connections may be present in a practical device. Moreover, no item or component is essential to the practice of the invention unless the element is specifically described as "essential" or "critical". Numerous modifications and adaptations will be readily apparent to those skilled in this art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

This Southern LGBTQ-Friendly Photographer Will Make You Type in All Caps for Days
Are you squealing yet?
When Shawnee Custalow of A Lovely Photo reached out to us, I knew she'd be perfect for APW. From a glance, I could tell that the Richmond, Virginia-based photographer's work #SLAYS, but when I found out that these jaw-dropping images were taken by a self-proclaimed queer Southern feminist who travels throughout the continental US for free with rates starting at $2,400, there may have been actual fist-pumping. You see, if there's one thing I've been reminded of in the past weeks, it's that while marriage equality may finally be here, real and true on-the-ground equality is still very much a work in progress, and photographers like Shawnee—specifically passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ couples—are still one hundred percent necessary.…Keep Reading

Eu sou taum carente que qd tento fazer amizades eu acabo tento quase uma "paixão" pela pessoa, pelo menos nas dores, nas preocupações, no medo.
Mas a pessoa naum se apaixona por mim
ou se interessa por mim.
Eu sou pouco para a pessoa
ou sou nada
Imagine ser considerado nada por um amigo.
Imagine ser considerado nada pela sua paixão.
É assim... q eu me sinto... perto das pessoas...
Well this is something I have never done before. In fact I have never kept any sort of record of my life or anything that goes on with or around me. Somehow I have been inspired to do that here I think because of reading so many Blog's here at JUB.
I don't know whether my Blog will be interesting, boring or whatever.It will be what it is.
So here we are at the close of another year. It certainly has been an interesting one for sure. One thing that comes to mind is finishing
I am...and I'm not.
I have no idea what I'll do for Christmas. I have two invitations for New Year's.

Automatic programming
AEG have made microwave cooking extra easy thanks to the automatic programming feature. Simply choose your food type from the options provided, input the weight, and the microwave oven will cook to perfection in the correct amount of time. You'll never have to estimate the cooking duration again and you can be sure that your meal is thoroughly heated through every time.
Auto weight defrosting
Take the guesswork out of defrosting your food thanks to the auto-defrost function on this microwave oven. This handy feature will calculate the perfect thaw time for a range of different food types. Simply select the type of food you need to defrost from the menu, enter the item's weight, and the microwave will do the rest!

A Collier Heights mom told police her son "all the sudden went crazy" when she asked him to put some socks on. Worth mentioning: Her son is 23. Apparently, the sock request triggered such fury that he pushed his mother, then "picked up the Christmas Tree and slammed it down." His sister jumped in to try to pull him off Mom, and the son reportedly went into the kitchen, grabbed a knife, held it up to his mother's face and said, "I'll kill both of you right now." And then — just like that — his holiday rage vanished. The son grabbed some wet clothes from the washing machine, got dressed, and walked out the door. Both Mom and Sis are just fine.
WILD SLEIGH RIDE: According to police, a 26-year-old drunk guy hijacked an ambulance — yes, with someone inside — on East Andrews Drive. Paramedics arrived to deal with a "person down." Right after they loaded their patient into the ambulance, the 26-year-old man allegedly shoved his way into the driver's seat, revved up the engine and sped away. While he was driving, the ambulance careened around a Roswell Road corner, rode up onto a sidewalk and hit a pedestrian. Finally, medics convinced the wild driver to pull over on Wieuca Road. (The pedestrian is in stable condition and the patient in the ambulance is just fine.) The 26-year-old faces a slew of charges, including kidnapping, interfering with government property, hit and run, and reckless driving.
SHOPPING SHOWDOWN: At the Atlantic Station Target, things got a little tense when a shopper confronted store employees. Apparently, the female patron was furious about a pricing discrepancy — she believed the item should be much cheaper. The shopper reportedly threatened an employee by saying, "I'll kick your red-headed bitch-ass down the escalator." The shopper fled before police arrived.
TOY STORY: A woman said someone broke into her apartment on Mt. Zion Road and raided the closet where she'd hidden almost $800 worth of Christmas toys she bought for her kids. Missing toys include a Barbie Kitchen, Baby Alive Super Pack, Let's Rock Elmo Drum Set, a Sesame Street toddler helmet, a Harley scooter, a toy drum set — and a "Home-Cleaning Trolley" for her little motel-maid-in-training.
RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT: A 29-year-old woman embarked on a bold experiment to reverse the meaning of traffic lights. Police reportedly spotted the woman erratically driving a green Ford Explorer in Midtown, coming to a complete stop at every green light and driving right through red lights. (It was about 1:40 a.m.) Police pulled her over for a chat. Turns out, her driver's license is both expired and suspended. (Maybe she's tried this experiment before?) She went to jail.
Items in the Blotter are taken from actual Atlanta police reports. The Blotter Diva compiles them and puts them into her own words.

Lemmy Remembered by Bandmates from Motorhead, Hawkwind
Musicians who collaborated with Lemmy Kilmister in Motorhead and Hawkwind pay tribute to the late rocker.
Musicians who collaborated with Lemmy Kilmister in Motorhead and Hawkwind pay tribute to the late rocker.
Hawkwind's 'Silver Machine' takes on the Beatles' 'Across the Universe' in round one of our Rock Star Wars.
Hawkwind's 'Levitation,' released on Oct. 27, 1980, featured a brief but intriguing intersection with Ginger Baker.
Hawkwind released their debut album on Aug. 14, 1970.
A hardcore Hawkwind fan's drunken quest for memorabilia led to the theft of a parking ticket the band incurred during its March 4 stop in Glasgow.
With Everything You Need to Know About Hawkwind, we take you inside a band that represented the flip side of psychedelia
Hawkwind released 'Hall of the Mountain Grill' on Sept. 6, 1974.
The Hawkwind woodwind player will tour the U.S. designed to replicate their tour behind 1972's 'Space Ritual.'
In one of our more bizarre pairings in the November 2013 Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame election, we find two highly influential entities from the glory days of British Rock that are from totally opposite sides of the fence: Eric Clapton and Hawkwind.
Prog: the final frontier ... of William Shatner's recording career, that is.

While taking a last minute road trip to NOLA earlier this week, we decided to use our trusty TripAdvisor ratings/reviews on the IPhone as we were driving over the bridge to enter the city after 9pm. Spur-of-the-moment is the way we roll. Anyway, Hotel le Marais came up listed as rated #1, so we pulled up to the valet in front, I walked in, got a room from the extremely friendly & helpful desk clerk "Daniella." Had our bags taken up by an awesome valet "Ryan" and had the car tucked neatly away in the on-site garage. What was great; we were walking distance to pretty much everything. Bourbon Street was a few yards away (never heard a sound while in the hotel), pedal-cabs, horse drawn carriages, street cars, art galleries, fine dining, live music, etc was only a block or two away. Ask the local for the best places to eat and shop. We stayed away from the tourist traps. The hotel was exactly as described by the other reviewers. Modern, spotless, beautiful, and very comfortable. Everything was immaculate, and each member of the staff we encountered was friendly, professional, and full of smiles. We will definitely be back.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Be inspired by an effortless amalgamation of classic and modern. Hotel le Marais is New Orleans' newest upscale boutique hotel. It is where the trendsetters, influencers and fashionistas go to stay in the heart of it all. Set amid a historic and cultural backdrop, this French Quarter hotel is a modern and upscale sanctuary with four-star amenities and a high level of personal service. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, BookIt.com, Hotels.com, Priceline, Hotwire, TripOnline SA, Travelocity, Odigeo, Expedia and Jetsetter so you can book your Hotel Le Marais reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

Right now, I'm running into issues trying to implement a FilterQueryProvider in my custom SimpleCursorAdapter, since I'm unsure of what to do in the FilterQueryProvider's runQuery function.
In other words, since the query that comprises my ListView basically gets the rowID, name, and a third column from my databases's table, I want to be able to filter the cursor based on the partial value of the name column.
However, I am uncertain of whether I can do this directly from runQuery without expanding my DB class since I want to filter the existing cursor, or will I have to create a new query function in my DB class that partially searches my name column, and if so, how would I go about creating the query statement while using the CharSequence constraint argument in runQuery?
I am also concerned about the performance issues associated with trying to run multiple queries based on partial text since the DB table in question has about 1300-1400 rows. In other words, would I run into a bottleneck trying to filter the cursor?
