Our brains are a dense tangle of billions of nerve cells connected together at synapses. Knowing how everything links up is key to understanding how the brain works — but it's a huge challenge. Figuring out the brain's wiring diagram is the aim of connectomics. It's done at many scales: from the "super highways" linking brain areas down to individual cells and their connections. This video shows how, for the… read more

The integration of mobile EU citizens as a specific target group has not been widely discussed, either at EU or national levels, and EU-level integration policies focus on the integration of legally residing third-country nationals. This report investigates the broad range of integration needs that exist in Europe.
This report assesses the connection between the recent rise of resentment against immigration and broader trends in Norwegian nationalism, and proposes a few policy recommendations with the aim of minimizing this rift in Norwegian society.
While free movement is at the heart of the European project, the merits and impacts of intra-EU mobility have come under significant scrutiny recently amid public anxiety about competition for jobs and exploitation of welfare systems. This report provides a detailed assessment of free movement, motivations for migration, and challenges countries may need to address as intra-EU mobility enters its next phase.
As the European Commission looks ahead to the next strategic program for immigration in 2014, this policy brief sketches the challenges in developing a strategic, long-term agenda on migration at a time when Europe remains beset by fiscal uncertainty and a jobs crisis that is particularly acute for the young. Against such a backdrop, few governments are willing to have a serious conversation about anything but skilled immigration.
Across the Atlantic, large-scale migration has brought about unprecedented levels of diversity, transforming communities in fundamental ways — with a resulting immigration backlash and criticism of "multiculturalism." This volume delivers recommendations on what policymakers must do to build and reinforce inclusiveness given the realities on each side of the Atlantic.
This report focuses on the development of children of Black immigrants in the United States, comparing against the outcomes for their peers in native-born and other immigrant families. It also compares these U.S. children to those in the United Kingdom, where there is a large Black immigrant population but a notably different policy context of reception.

A Night in a Signal-Box
I am the wife of an ex-signalman on the Uniform railway. His signal-box stands high up, white and solitary, above a charming country.
It is very hot in summer, when the sun shines on the glass, and very cold in winter, when the northeast wind howls around it, and whistles aerial music through the telegraph.
It was an important lookout, for, within a mile of it, numerous lines intersected each other, over which, day and night, trains were ever crossing and re-crossing, with hairbreadth escapes of collisions.
When John was courting me, he often made me tremble about it by saying "Jane, that place is a trouble to me; one day I know there will be a crash; I feel it. A man can't be always in health. Even a signal man's brain will sometime become dazed and muddled; and then, if he makes a mistake, a smash must come."
We were married, and John grew brighter and more cheerful, and I trusted he had forgotten that wretched presentiment of his about collision.
After six months, however, it returned, worse than ever. He used to read all the accidents; and, when any of the officials were convicted for man-slaughter or discharged for negligence, he would say, "That may be the case tomorrow, Jane; then what's to become of you?"
I am aware most men would not have thought, like him, but he had the kindest, most sensitive heart. "John," I said at last, "why don't you quit the situation, and get something else?" "Because a married man should never give up one employment before he's sure of another."
"Well, then, dear, don't say any more, or you'll make me as nervous as yourself." I had begun to think about the cross lines and the mail expresses as much as John himself, though I wouldn't let him know it. the signal box began to haunt me, and I used frequently to go up to the turn of the road and look at it for nothing at all. That idea of a collision was a monomania with John—it was becoming so with me.
A year went by safely, except for that miserable thought, no two persons could be happier than John and I, especially as we now had a little daughter, who, for a while, banished John's dread, and we talked hopefully of the future. Our prospects were better, for my husband unexpectedly heard from an uncle in Australia, who had made a comfortable fortune, and intended to return and live with his relatives.

"I wanted the card that said Joy & Cheer, but could only make New Year Cheer come up. That was fine and we love the card."
"This is the first time I've used Tiny Prints. It was hard to decide with all the beautiful design choices. I was very pleased with the quality of the paper and the printing. It seems a little more expensive than some sites but I felt with the rapid service and quality product it was worth it."
"The card was great quality and adapted to our photo brilliantly. I liked that it added a touch of holiday snow and had different options for greeting."
"This card came in a couple color options which I thought was great to correspond with the picture I picked. The quality of this paper was exactly what I expected it was thick like card stock and not like a photo which I enjoyed so it didn't bend. I was also able to write nicely on the back without it showing or making engravement type markings on the front side. The picture came out great and was not distorted or different color quality than the original which was my worry when ordering. I am so happy with this product."
"This turned out really beautiful and was incredibly easy to create. I went with the unique cut out design and the blue/green coloring as it matched family pictures we had taken earlier in the year. I also was grateful for the option to write a message on the back, as it allowed me to include an update for family and friends on our Christmas card. Overall, I was extremely happy with the quality of the card - just wished it wasn't quite so expensive!"

Prepping myself and my family for any disaster in the area. We need a network of like-minded people in Richmond. Thinking of adding a forum to my website for discussions on the topic. Thoughts? Any fellow preppers out there?

I have heard some that claim to be prepared simply by knowing others that are preparing.
They seem to feel as long as you have a stockpile, it can be theirs if the need is there.

So what is the best way to prep for a sudden heart attack, head on collison with a semi,accidental drowning or the rapture?
#13 Nov 13, 2012
Too many Chicken Littles in this world, waiting with baited breath on the sky to fall. So what if it does? If a major calamity befalls us, will what's left of the world even be worth living in? Why rob yourself of all the fun and joy and love that can be had here and now, worrying over the obscure chance that the world will come crashing down? It's been eons since the last extinction level event befell our planet, and in the scope of earth's history, we humans have only been here for a heartbeat. We're not due another for eons yet to come. It is statistically unlikely to say the least that the world will end in ours or our children's children's children's lifetimes. Every kook who's said otherwise has been made to look the fool when the dawn came and nothing had happened. There may be a storm or a quake twixt now and then, or some political upheaval, but nothing so dire as to be unrecoverable. Man has weathered many such changes since we came crawling out of our caves to see the world. So quit fretting, have a little faith, and enjoy life.

WOW... Not quite the response I was expecting. Obviously Topix is not the place for a discussion of ones personal thoughts and opinions. I am not trying to change beliefs, I just wanted to know if there were any other preppers in Richmond. Guess there arn't any, on Topix anyway. Social breakdown has begun. Run fer tha hills yall! Good day and good luck.

Calm Down, said it the best! I agree :)

I am NOT talking about extinction here, but a small or several small disasters. The end of the world will be just that... THE END. I speak in terms of surviving a small disaster in which help can't reach you for a few days or so.
Never mind, there will never be such a disaster and we will always be able to rely on our government and fellow man to help us if in need. Disregard my previous comments as I was obviously mistaken.
Good day and good luck to you all.

There's a proverb from the Bible that says - "A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it."
And to the ones that believe they can just simply take what others have worked hard to prepare and save -#1 on most 'preppers' lists is firearms and ammo. So unless you're bullet-proof, that's not a smart way to go.

Let's say it all goes to hell, infrastructure gone, every man for himself. In a hypothetical total disaster situation, without electricity and the good folks at EDT to run an alarm system for you, you and yours become the only physical security for your property against armed incursion.
Most non-veterans have no notion of what it means to secure a piece of property. It means having a redundant self-contained and self-powered security system, and above all, manned security: 24 hour rotating watches, a weapon in the hand of each watch with assigned sectors of fire, a roving patrol, and the ability to coordinate watches against greater numbers if need be - a method of communication. It means having a plan for non-combatants to seek shelter, or to take up arms if required of them. And the average American household is NOT in and of itself an adequate defense force.
The typical boisterous rural armed American that thinks a few guns and bullets will save them from organized, armed predatory groups in a post-disaster situation is actually quite mistaken, especially if those groups have any military or paramilitary training. The only hope anyone would have in such a catastrophe would be to either become a mobile predator/band of predators yourselves, or form a well-defended, self-contained community. The typical podunk stand-off-ish isolationist trend will not serve. Pride and ego will not change the fact that isolated persons or families can and will be overrun, and all their precious supplies and preparations will be carried off by others.
I myself would likely seek out those of like experience and mindsets, head for year-long tolerable climate areas elsewhere, and try to set up there. If need be, a nomadic existence may have to be adopted to avoid bad weather, especially during prolonged drought or winters.
And I hate to say it, but if we're being honest, I'd take whatever was needed as needed from wherever and whoever I could get it along the way. When it's about survival, you'd be amazed how quickly civility and animal instinct, combined with training, can make men into a deadly pack of wolves. And there is a reason that without predators are at the top of their respective food chains. If I am going to survive, I will not do so as trapped, fearful prey.
So don't just stuff a basement full of canned grub, bottled water & bullets, lube up a few of nifty looking weapons that make you feel like Rambo, and think "no one would dare." You need to cultivate good relations with those around you, find out who can be relied upon and who has useful skill sets, decide if you would rather stand your ground or go nomad, and above all, accept the fact that you cannot lone-wolf your way out of all things. Be prepared to accept a new reality, one where your old morals may not apply.
Having a cold, calculating, realistic mindset may be the best preparation anyone could make.

The Keys to Healthy Sponsorships
May 08
Planning a large event is a complex and demanding undertaking, one that is not always possible without the support of valuable sponsors says Tampa event planning company Cheers Events owner Robert Smith. Because of this, it is critical to remember that a healthy sponsorship doesn't start and end with a signed contract. Though obtaining a signed contract is a major accomplishment that involves research, meetings, brainstorms, proposals, and pitches, that's just the beginning. The second step of a sponsorship is the activation, and it is in this arena that the real magic happens.
Activation can be considered the phase in which your relationship with your sponsor deepens. You collect information, initiate the pre-event benefits you promised, and provide support during the event itself. Whether your sponsor has a positive experience will impact their word of mouth regarding your company and influence their decision to sponsor future events. These three keys can help you ensure that you perfectly execute sponsorship activation.
Set Expectations
No sponsor wants to enter an agreement or plan for a Tampa corporate event theme with questions still floating in the air. Avoid this problem by sharing specific pre-, during-, and post-event expectations. This might include how pre-event materials will be branded, how your relationship with the sponsor will be maintained, what the schedule looks like. Clarifying even the smallest details will make a huge difference.
Prepare the Logistics
The devil is always in the details, right? The last thing you want is for a smooth show to become ruffled by small logistics that weren't planned appropriately ahead of time. Timing, location, parking, loading, packing up, and behavior during the event are all essential pieces of information that need to be shared in a cohesive and clear manner. Chaos is not your friend, so work to avoid it!
Engage During the Event
Don't just ignore your sponsors once they have arrived without a hitch. Be sure to talk to them, get to know their companies, and help them feel special by offering a VIP tour or other special benefit.
With careful attention-to-detail, your event will never want for sponsors again.Read More

Los Angeles cop sets complaint record
A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputy has set a new record for citizen-filed complaints.
According to CBS News, Sheriff's Deputy Elton Simmons has been part of more than 25,000 traffic stops over the past 20 years and has never received a single complaint.
Until the captain told him, Elton didn't even know he had such a record, let alone how he got it. "It's just how I do it every day," he said.
Elton is known for developing a quick rapport with drivers and not guilt-tripping them or pulling an attitude. Basically, he breaks the stereotype of patrol officers.
"You know what it is, it's his smile," said driver Mike Viera, who just got a ticket. "He's got a great smile. He's a nice guy. How could you be mad at that guy?"

The research cited by Sargent and Lawson suggests that patients with migraine may experience permanent structural damage, a fact suggested and observed before the advent of CT.1-4 We agree that use of CT in a research setting for systematic study of migraine may allow us to understand better this common illness where little is known about underlying pathological changes. As a research tool, CT is probably adequately cost-effective. However, our article discusses the use of CT for patients with headache, seen by clinicians who use CT to detect or confirm lesions that will affect subsequent patient treatment. Given the current understanding of migraine, we do not believe the findings described by Sargent, Lawson, and others alter patient treatment. Thus, we do not recommend its routine use in patients with normal findings from neurological examinations.Bohmfalk implies that he, as a neurosurgeon, is referred patients with mass lesions

|ESPN.com: Page 2
|[Print without images]
The Los Angeles Times published a terrific piece over the weekend on just who are the 5,765 members of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences who vote on the Oscars each year. There were some surprises -- Woody Allen and George Lucas are not members, but Meat Loaf is -- and some not-so-shocking revelations, i.e., the vast majority of Academy members are white males.
|Meet Meat Loaf, Oscar voter.
In other words, the Academy sounds a bit like the Baseball Writers' Association of America, except we don't have Meat Loaf as a member (though we often have meatloaf stains on our shirts). But as I've written before, one difference is baseball writers reveal their Hall of Fame and MVP/Cy Young votes while the Oscar voters do not. They should release and explain their ballots, if only so I could find out who voted for "The Tree of Life" and ask them for a refund.
Speaking of which, here is my annual rundown of the Best Picture nominees:
"The Tree of Life": The multiplex where a friend's parents saw this movie posted a notice stating that in the middle of "The Tree of Life," the film veers off into a long and strange sequence involving dinosaurs and the creation of the Earth and that patrons were warned their money would not be refunded if they continued into the theater. I have three thoughts about this warning:
1. How bad is a movie if a theater feels compelled to warn you there will be no refunds?
2. The Charlotte Bobcats and Pittsburgh Pirates should have to post similar warnings next to their ticket windows.
3. Why couldn't there have been this warning at the theater where I saw "The Tree of Life"?
This steaming, pretentious pile was easily the year's worst, most self-important, most self-indulgent movie. I nearly walked out three times and wish I had. Rewarding it with a Best Picture nomination is like giving an NCAA berth to Binghamton (1-26 overall and 344th in the Sagarin ratings).
"The Help": The acting is superb (particularly Viola Davis), but what could have been a much better movie is trivialized by the decision to focus so much attention on the privileged young white woman who dreams of becoming a New York writer rather than sticking to the abused black maids who tell her their anguished stories. This is like telling the story of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier by concentrating on a young white beat writer for the New York Herald Tribune. "Jackie received two more death threats today, was forced to enter the ballpark through the 'colored' entrance, was called racial epithets by several fans, was refused service at the hotel restaurant, and a bigot spit on his wife. But that's nothing compared to the way the copy editors butchered my game story. And there was no mustard for the free hot dogs in the press box, and the free beer was lukewarm "
"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close": I try to see every Best Picture nomination each year, but friends warned me this movie is so emotionally manipulative that I decided to save my money and watch the Alamo Bowl instead. That might have been a mistake, considering my alma mater gave up 67 points and 777 yards.
"Moneyball": This is the first baseball movie to receive a Best Picture nomination since "Field of Dreams," which frankly was a better movie and was more believable.
Look. The 2002 Athletics were coming off a 102-win season. They had the 2002 Cy Young winner (Barry Zito) and the 2002 MVP (Miguel Tejada). They had third baseman Eric Chavez, who hit 34 home runs, drove in 109 runs and won a Gold Glove. They had Tim Hudson, who has averaged 14 wins and a 3.40 ERA over his 13-year career. They had Mark Mulder, who averaged 18 wins from 2001-05. They had Jermaine Dye (24 home runs) and Billy Koch (44 saves). Yet we're supposed to believe they won the American League West because general manager Billy Beane signed Scott Hatteberg and traded away promising rookie Carlos Pena? I'm sorry; I think Billy has been a great general manager, but the only way this version of Oakland's 2002 season would have been more of a fantasy was if Hatteberg, David Justice and Shoeless Joe Jackson walked into the Oakland Coliseum from an Iowa cornfield.
"The Descendants": George Clooney is up for Best Actor for this movie, but the really noteworthy performance is by Laird Hamilton, the great big wave surfer. Hamilton plays Troy, the guy who was driving the boat when Clooney's wife has an accident that sends her into a coma. It's a small role -- as I recall, he's on screen for about 30 seconds -- but this nonetheless represents an enormous leap forward for Hamilton's screen career. After all, his previous film role was as Kevin Costner's stunt double in the legendary bomb "Waterworld."
"Hugo": This is an extraordinary movie in that it is based on a children's book yet isn't overloaded with "clever" pop culture references and fart jokes, which is almost as rare a thing as a Detroit Lions playoff victory. It's also a loving homage to early cinema, particularly the movies of George Melies, who made more than 500 films from 1896-1913, including "A Trip to the Moon," "The Impossible Voyage" and "The Absolutely Last Cubs World Series Victory Parade You Will Ever See."
"Midnight in Paris": I loved this movie, but it doesn't stand a chance because comedies almost never win -- the Pirates have won as many World Series in the past 52 years as comedies have won Best Picture. I'm not counting what AMC's Tim Dirks terms borderline or hybrid comedies such as "Shakespeare in Love." I'm talking about straight-forward comedies like Woody Allen makes. Like "Annie Hall," which won in 1977. Or, well, "Midnight in Paris."
Owen Wilson deserved a Best Actor nomination for his performance as a modern writer who finds himself transported nightly to 1920s Paris. The real crime, however, was Corey Stoll not receiving a Best Supporting Actor nod for his role as Ernest Hemingway. Sure, it isn't a big part, but sometimes a brief performance can be so overwhelming it dwarfs everyone else -- like Judi Dench as Queen Elizabeth when she won a supporting actress award for roughly eight minutes of screen time in "Shakespeare in Love." Or Willie McCovey, who won the 1959 Rookie of the Year Award despite not making his major league debut until July 30 and playing only 52 games. I'm not saying Stoll is going to finish his acting career with the equivalent of 521 home runs, but his Hemingway was a Hall of Fame performance.
"War Horse": This is another nominee I regret to say I haven't seen yet because I was busy standing in line waiting for Spielberg's other movie of the holiday season, "The Adventures of Tintin." Spielberg spent decades getting Tintin to the big screen, and why he allowed it to be released at the same time as another of his moves is as mystifying as Ozzie Guillen's tweets. By the way, it's bad enough "Tintin" was snubbed for Best Picture but to not even be nominated for Best Animated Film? That's Hollywood's biggest scandal outside of green-lighting "Juwanna Mann."
|Baseball can learn from Uggie.
"The Artist": In a movie world of explosions, car chases, explosions, $14 tickets for rote 3-D effects and more explosions, this is just a wonderful movie -- a glorious, black-and-white, virtually dialogue-free salute to Hollywood's silent days. The beauty, however, is that it all still seems as fresh and current as a rookie hopeful texting his parents about his big game in spring training. It's funny, touching and fast-paced, and you leave the theater humming the music with a grin on your face as broad as Tim Tebow's shoulders.
I just wish teams would take a clue from this movie and allow fans to enjoy an occasional moment of silence at a game instead of making us endure the constant ear-bleeding music, annoying commercials and canned instructions/demands to cheer. This cone of silence doesn't have to be for an entire game, but is a half-inning or five minutes of peace and quiet too much to ask?
"The Artist" is my favorite movie of the year and my pick to win Best Picture. When I saw it, the loudest sound in the theater was the audience applauding. There's a lesson in there for sports teams, if they would just pay attention.

I moved to Katy, TX from Oakland CA in 2006. The first salon I visited in Houston was 45 minutes from my house did my hair so terrible that I went right home and washed it over. For the next month I decided to do my own hair. One day while driving down the street near my home, I noticed a sign for Black Butterfly Salon. I decided to take my chances and walk in to ask questions. When I walked in I was greeted by the owner Bridgette and told her about my prior experience, and she assured me that she could do exactly what I asked of her. It is now 2015, and I am still a faithful client of Bridgette's. I have a chaotic work schedule and she works with my schedule. There have been times that I have had to change my appt at the last minute, and she never complains, she just works me in at a different time. I have never had a bad experience at this salon and definitely not with Bridgette. I have referred many people here, and they continue to be customers as well.

new to houston and wanted to get color, highlights and cut hair in layers. everything turned out great! the price was very reasonable considering all that i was having done to my hair. kim took care of me and offered me water/soda and magazines to look thru. the salon was well kept. i went in as a walk in but will definitely be making an appointment next time. the salon is steadily busy and seems to have a great rapport with their clients. i took a pic of jessica albas hair and it came out nearly identical! great experience i encourage others to go.
I went to see Martha after a terrible hair extension experience. It was very easy to book an appointment with her. She is professional and calls you back immediately. She removed the terrible bonds I had on hair and replaced them virtually painless unoticable ones via Great Lenghts. The hair and hair color she used matched my own perfectly. She saved me from an extension nightmare. I highly recommend Martha. She really cares about her clients and does a Fantastic job!

A number of environmentally conscious efforts have been or are being implemented at Alfred State.
The minor is intended to expose students to existing courses and experiential credits (internship or practicum experiences) at Alfred State that focus on and/or include leadership topics. These students will be introduced to the Social Change Model of Leadership and mentorship opportunities.
Alfred State is hosting Grasstravaganza Aug. 4-6, an event for farmers, conservationists, and consumers who are interested in soil health, grazing, and sustainable agriculture. The theme is "Healthy Soils, Healthy Animals, Healthy Farms," and will feature presentations by nationally recognized grazing and soil health experts.
One of the reasons that Alfred State is such a terrific place for studying cyber security is the fact that students aren't just learning the theory. They're putting it into practice building networks, firewalls, access control lists, and more.
The Associate in Occupational Studies degree program will prepare students for a career as a motorcycle/power sports/ small engine technician, incorporating a progressively challenging format and hands-on laboratories, using full-size functioning vehicles.
Incoming students are catching more than just a glimpse of college life during Alfred State's summer orientation, with the new Pokemon Go mobile game they are venturing across campus and making new friends along the way.
As assistant professors and co-founders of a group to encourage female student interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), Dr. Danielle Bond and Dr. Tabitha Sprau Coulter are igniting the imaginations of young women by showing students how rewarding and interesting engineering can be.
Dr. Jon Owejan, assistant professor of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Technology, and Nathan DeMario, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering technology, have invented an advanced cooling system that doesn't require a chemistry degree to understand how it works; it uses water instead of refrigerants to carry heat out of buildings.
Held June 17 at the Twin Hickory Golf Club in Hornell, the second annual tournament began with a 10 a.m. shotgun start and featured a Captain and Crew format. The members of the winning team were Steve Smith, Charise Nankivell, Mikey Smith, and Kevin Mazanec.
All courses within the program will be offered online, with the exception of "Skills Seminars," which allow students to practice what they have learned. Course topics range from overview of the addictions field; to individual counseling; to assessment, evaluation, and problem identification; and more.
