As you can imagine, it'd be a bit of a problem if the brake lights on your car didn't work. And that, unfortunately, is precisely the problem that Hyundai has found with some of its higher-end offerings, prompting the Korean automaker to issue a recall. (One of a great many recalls issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration today, as you can no doubt see.)

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has slapped Hyundai with a $17.35 million fine for delaying a recall on the 2009 to 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedan back in 2013. The recall grew from the original figure of 27,500 units to 43,500 sedans in November of last year, and focused on brake fluid that wouldn't prevent corrosion of the hydraulic control unit.

General Motors is the undisputed king of recalls for 2014. No one is going to contest this point. The American company is far from the only one with vehicles that need fixing, though, as Hyundai has announced another recall totaling 419,000 vehicles in three separate campaigns.

It's barely arrived in dealerships, and already, Hyundai is recalling its 2015 Sonata. A total of 2,138 vehicles are facing issues with a wiring harness that could limit the amount of power steering help and in some cases, making it difficult to shift out of Park. Most of the cars are not yet in customer hands.

Hyundai has increased its quality by leaps and bounds in recent years, but we're not sure the Entourage minivan is the best representation of the brand. Essentially a rebadged version of the Kia Sedona, the Entourage has been out of production for about five years now, and it's evidently run into some trouble.

What do you typically do when you pull out a smart gadget? Do you play games, or do you go on Facebook? According to a 2013 study by Flurry Analytics, Americans spend on average 2 hours and 38 minutes glued to their smartphones and tablets. Only 31 minutes are used to browse the web. The rest of the time are spent on apps; thus, 80 percent of a mobile user's time is spent on apps. If we travelled back in time, an older generation would probably have guessed that people typically used their mobile phones for making telephone calls.
Actionable Interface
The word "smartphone" should really be an acronym: SSC. That stands for small, smart computer. That's what we really carry in our pockets, and studies show we spend more time on apps than making calls.
Mobile audiences prefer to do things on their devices, and not simply browse the Web. Marketers are investing in apps that their audience would find useful. When it comes to mobile content, companies try to get users to "do things."
When it comes to mobile devices, companies try to get visitors to convert by having them download an app, follow them on social media, or sign up for an email subscription. Great mobile sites get recurring interactions when visitors become regular consumers of the content.
Technological Shift
Before World War II, it was all about the radio. Then television became the media staple for the baby boom generation. Now, Americans are spending more time on digital media per day than they do with television, according to eMarketer. That's a huge shift in platform. Television is a one-way medium, while people can interact with smart devices.
Mobile isn't the place for publishing a thesis paper, and it's causing the decline of the long-form text. And shorter attention spans are reflecting people's preferences for instant gratification.
Mobile devices, such as smartphones, are interesting. We need to stop referring to these gadgets as phones. They are, but they're not.Powered by Sidelines

What a great event the Norwegian Developers conference is. It is a nice size so there is a good selection of tracks, but no so big you feel lost, also the speakers and attendees were all mixing freely which I think always makes for a good atmosphere. This was all enhanced by the excellent organisation of the event, what can I say the wifi worked faultlessly, the food was good and the overflow screens (so from one place you could view the video and audio of any current sessions) was a brilliant idea, so much I know some people took to using this in preference to going to the actual session. You can see the overflow screens at the top of the photo below.
On the subject of food it was good to have a breakfast, a 'lunch bite' and then another small meal around 4pm just when you are flagging. It was noticeable that the sponsors on the expo had basically got rid of all the swag and replaced it with a selection of snacks and coffee machines. For me far more acceptable to get a nice ice cream or a hot dog rather than yet another USB pen drive or fluffy toy with a corporate logo on it. I even enjoyed the band at the 'legendary NDC party', the organisers seemed to get all points right.
Also what was nice was that this was not a single vendor conference e.g. a TechEd or PDC. Now these can (but not always) be great for new product knowledge, but they can constrain the subject matter. At NDC there has been a good wide range of subjects with a particular strong Agile process and Ruby tracks. I for one would want to go to conferences to be exposed to things I have not used before, both technologies and concepts. This I feel you can for better at a conference with a wider scope of subject matter than a vendor conference. Now the danger is that the range becomes too wide and dilutes the content, but at NDC again I think they got it about right
Remember all the sessions at NDC were videoed in HD, and they are being rapidly being uploaded to http://streaming.ndc2010.no/tcs/, so if you are interested in seeing my or any other sessions from this 'amazing line-up!' take a look.
I hope any sessions I submit for NDC2011 in May next year get accepted, I would love to go back.

What You Should Know If You Think You Have The Flu
When winter comes and brings flu season with it, you may find yourself in a situation in which you think you may have contracted this potentially serious viral infection. However, if you are like most people, you may not know what you should do when you first start to feel like you have a bout of the flu. Many people tend to do nothing and simply try to carry on or take a few days off from work at most. Before you make these same mistakes if you come down with the flu, get to know some of the steps that you should take and be sure that you are taking the best possible care of yourself. Go To Urgent Care Or Your Doctor's Office As Soon As You Fall Ill While there is no cure for the flu, there are treatments. For those treatments to be effective, though, you will need to begin taking them within 48 hours of the onset of your symptoms. Otherwise, taking the medications will not be effective, and your flu symptoms will be far worse than they would have been otherwise. If you cannot get in to see your primary care physician because it is after hours or the weekend, the urgent care clinic is your best bet. They will be able to assess your symptoms and prescribe you with the immediate treatments that you may need like oseltamivir. Additionally, the doctors at the urgent care clinic can recommend over-the-counter and home treatments and ensure that your symptoms are not so severe that you need hospitalization or IV fluids. Try To Isolate Yourself As Much As Possible When you determine that you do indeed have the flu, the best thing you can do is to try to isolate yourself entirely from other people as much as possible. If you live alone, this should be fairly easy for you. However, if you have a family, you will want to try to stay in one room away from them as much as possible. If you do interact with your family members, be careful to keep a distance of at least a few feet and try not to breathe directly on them. Obviously, if you have to go to such great lengths not to infect your family members at home, you should not go to work or out and about (unless, of course, you need to go to the doctor). Until you have been fever-free for at least 24 hours, you should stay home and...read more
How to Treat Common Injuries in Small Children Learning to Walk
Small children are prone to sustaining injuries when they are first learning how to walk. In most cases, someone is available at all times to watch the child and help guide them when going through the learning process. Sometimes, however, an injury can occur very quickly, leading caretakers to need to act fast. Here are some of the most common injuries that can occur in toddlers and how to take care of them. Scrapes and Cuts When toddlers are learning how to walk, they may accidentally scrape their skin if they lose control of their footing while next to a piece of furniture or similar object. If the skin appears to be unbroken, putting a cool compress on the area can help relieve any swelling that can occur. If the skin is broken and bleeding, you will want to stop the flow before applying an antibacterial ointment. Rinse the area with clean water to remove any bacteria from within the cut. To stop the bleeding, apply pressure to the area using a clean towel or piece of gauze. Apply a thin layer of antibacterial ointment or rinse with hydrogen peroxide to remove bacteria. Cover with a bandage to keep the cut from bleeding. If the bleeding does not stop after these steps, bring the child to an immediate care center to receive further help. The cut may be deep where it will need stitches. Bruises and Bumps Toddlers will fall many times when learning how to walk. Usually someone will be there to break their fall, but as they get a bit more bold, it gets harder to be behind the child every second while they are learning. If the child has an especially hard fall, there may be skin that becomes bruised in the process. To relieve the pain from a hard hit, put a cool compress on the area right after the fall occurs. This might help keep the bruising from escalating from inflammation. Bruises will go through several color changes as they heal. If the toddler hits their head, you will need to keep a watchful eye on the child to make sure they are not suffering from a concussion as a result of the impact. If the child seems lethargic and not alert, bring them to an immediate care center right away to be evaluated. Concussions are hard to pinpoint without a thorough evaluation, so it is better to check with an immediate care professional if you are in...read more

Five years of funding are requested to further develop a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence at Kansas University Medical Center with a focus on Nuclear Receptors and their Role in Liver Health and Disease. Five talented new faculty who share this research interest were selected with the goal of helping them become funded, independent investigators. A PI, co-PI, an internal advisory committee of experienced senior faculty and an external advisory committee of prominent scientists have been assembled to mentor them to this goal. The Center will also help provide infrastructure and equipment to supplement the research environment. Ultimately, through the achievement of these initial goals, the final long-range goal is the submission of a program project grant application. An important feature of this Proposal is that for each initial junior faculty member, two co-mentors have been assigned and individual mentoring plans and timetables have been developed. Central features of the mentoring plans include ongoing critical evaluation of the research project by the mentors and IAC, semiannual conferences with EAC members, and special training on statistics, manuscript and grant writing, and teaching. The first 6 junior faculty assigned to this COBRE have competed successfully for independent NIH R01-type research support. The same is expected of the present junior faculty. Once the present junior faculty are funded externally, they will financially rotate off the grant to make room for addition of new junior faculty members. Another important feature of the Proposal is to maintain 4 research Cores to provide additional research support for the Center's faculty. These cores include an administrative Core as well as Cores in the areas of biospecimen, histopathology, analytical, and sequencing. In summary, the outstanding combination of scientific talent, existing research environment, and new core facilities ensure that this proposed Center will further foster the development of a thematic multidisciplinary research center, to enhance the ability of new investigators to compete independently for complementary NIH and other external peer-reviewed support, and to strengthen existing biomedical research infrastructure at KUMC.
The liver has many functions in the body, such as elimination of drugs and other non-nutritious chemicals in our diet;interconverting fat, glucose, and amino acids;regulating the amount of cholesterol, sugar, and clotting agents;secreting bile acids for the absorption of lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins from our diets, etc. This interdisciplinary group of scientists are working together to understand how the liver performs these functions and how to repair the liver when it fails.

They're concerned with school, sports and social standing. They want to impress people around them so they feel important. They're longing for someone to validate them as people. And most of all, they just don't want to live life alone.
Read Whole Story
Public expressions of discontent simply add to the negative impressions of Christians as insensitive, whiny and -- let's be honest -- jerks.
I do not at all care how often the word "Christmas" is (not) used by politicians, entertainers or my local barista. As a Christian, I do not think that it is our God-given right to display Christian symbols on public land as if we have claimed the U.S. as Jesus' primary mailing address.
It is one thing to wish someone a "happy holidays" in reference to the multitude of secular and religious winter holidays. It is quite another to declare that an evergreen tree is a universal holiday symbol.
The discovery of a cohort of "Mixed Religion" adherents in the U.K. serves as a reminder that the demographic reality of religious double-belonging among adults can no longer be ignored.
Every year as a kid in the 1960s my family celebrated Christmas as a festive holiday. The funny part of this to some of my friends is that my family was Jewish. Why not enjoy all the holidays during December?
Bias hurts both the general public and specific communities. The American Muslim community, in particular, has been exploring new ways of addressing Islamophobia -- the irrational fear of Muslims.
Ancient Christian saints, theologians and evangelists would be horrified that those who claim to stand for tradition have forgotten the most important aspect of it. Jesus Christ was not born that human beings would spend December shopping or saying, "Merry Christmas."
What has happened to us as a nation that it is so rare and courageous for a Christian to speak the truth of the Christian tradition in public life and challenge us to do better for the poor?
The Bible, with its vision of men one day beating swords into ploughshares and its promise of a future of eternal peace, sees war as savagery in every case but self-defense. The men of Arthur's roundtable may be born for adventure. But the biblical knight of faith is born for service.
Strangely, those who most want us to "remain" a Christian nation are those most opposed to the principles of Jesus: Welcome strangers. Love your neighbor. Feed the hungry. Care for the battered and sick, those with disabilities, the outcast, the imprisoned and the oppressed.
While Blake Page's feelings and perceived experiences may be very real, they do not produce a truly accurate portrait of the Academy or the reality of the typical cadet lifestyle for the religious and nonreligious alike.
Taking a symbol like the menorah, which represents that struggle of adhering to faith in the face of an oppressive Greek culture that believed everything should be secular and rational, and redefining it as having secular connotations contradicts what the menorah represents.
When Tulsi Gabbard takes her oath on the Gita, its political wisdom will not only be instructive for her as a Hindu but also for all members of Congress.
Early in the 20th century, the Church embraced motion pictures, radio, then television and now the Internet and social media. But in the vast majority of cases, we're not using those platforms to engage the greater culture, we're living inside a bubble.
By not opposing the corporate cultivation of untrammeled greed among Americans, the churches have left the door open to the triumph of America's new religion -- not liberal secularism, but shopping.
I decided to consider the existence of a loving, omnipotent deity of my understanding Who was different than the Great Intimidator of Catholic upbringing. I listened carefully for the voice within me, which I believe is the God voice that is in all of us, for divine direction.
While some cite the separation of church and state as a logical and legal underpinning for the Naked Public Square, the local Christian communities see it as a threat to religious freedom. Here in the South, tradition is more persuasive to most than the legal fine print.
Join us in lighting a Candle of Hope that people of faith not only can but will stand together against polemic and polarization by focusing instead on the mobilization of God's values of love, justice and compassion.
In keeping with the American tradition and in line with the Dharmic values of self reliance, it is time we, the Dharmic Americans, empower ourselves and understand how to make our places of worship secure.
The most concerted effort to challenge church segregation was launched during the first half of the 1960s, when the same young people who were integrating lunch counters, parks and libraries took aim at white churches.
The Gita is not a playbook that offers easy, formulaic answers to relieve us the burden of decision-making. Rather, it is a moral and spiritual compass that offers us an amazing perspective with which to wrestle with the difficult questions. I suspect that Tulsi feels the same way.
We have a moral duty -- as both people of faith and Americans -- to take a stand for religious liberty and to make space for the Muslim-American identity to grow and prosper. Indeed, we will fail the guiding principles of this nation if we do not.
My hope is that Tulsi Gabbard, as a Hindu American, will bring to Washington and to her style of representation two striking qualities that are as quintessentially Hindu as they are American -- the duty to work toward the greater good and pluralism.
"Lincoln" reminded me why so much of the Bible is such fine literature: Once we are grabbed and swept away by a great story, crafted by great storytellers, a careful analysis of the historical facts no longer seems so important any more.

Message from the Principal
Greetings. I am excited to receive the honor of taking on the role of Principal at Kanto International Senior High School and humbled by the great responsibility. Together with the many staff whom I have learned to trust over the 17 years that I have been at Kanto, I vow to put my best efforts into its students and future.
Kanto was one of the first high schools in Japan to offer an education that connects its students to the world. For over thirty five years it has continued to develop its international outlook as pioneers of global education in Japan.
At its foundation is a unique set of language programs taught by 24 Native teachers in collaboration with our Japanese teaching staff. Beginning with the English program, created through extensive collaboration between Native and Japanese teachers of English, we have further expanded to include programs in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Thai, Indonesian and Vietnamese.
Our unique English learning experience caters to the needs of all courses in the school including the Science Course, Asian Language Courses as well as in the Japanese Culture Course scheduled to be made available for students who join us in April, 2017.
We take great pride in welcoming you to an exceptionally charming school, both to our centrally located Shibuya campus and spacious campus in Katsuura, where you will have opportunities to learn with students from around the world and become more open with yourself and others.
I look forward to welcoming you to join us. I, and all the staff at Kanto, are excited to be a part of your learning experience.
Kanto International Senior High School
Principal. James Harman

Structural Features of Economic Reform in Poland
This paper examines current macroeconomic evidence on the characteristics and magnitude of structural change in Poland during the reform era. The analysis is based on a comparison of two social accounting matrices (SAMs) compiled for 1987 and 1993, three years either side of the introduction of the main reform program. The results show Poland has shifted towards the characteristics expected of a market economy. A multiplier analysis shows there are significant system-wide linkages, and that while the magnitude of some linkages has been resilient to change others have changed markedly, including a substantial growth in the entrepreneurial household sector.

He turned 18 this past week (though his English birthday is actually next week), full of school and wanting to start driving lessons and one other major milestone that will change who he is. He is going to Poland in a few weeks. If you've never been there, you can't imagine the impact standing in a gas chamber will have on you. You just can't imagine seeing ashes and ashes, ovens that were used to burn the remains, cemetery after cemetery, and so much more. To go as a Jew to Poland is to focus, for a time, not on those who walk the earth today, but those who are buried beneath it (if they were lucky enough to be buried).
Right before Amira was going into her last year of high school, she told me she wanted to go to Poland. Her school has a policy not to take students out of Israel and so they don't organize a trip to Poland. It was something, this pilgrimage, that was very important to my oldest daughter but she was afraid it would be too much for her and so she asked me to come along, told me she needed me.
What could I do? I went. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done...for many reasons. I left in Israel, tiny Aliza - only 2 and a half years old. Amira's son is now 2 and a half years old and I think Amira now realizes how hard it was for me. I missed the others terribly, but somehow, my arms ached to hold Aliza most of all. My husband was amazingly supportive. I wish, sometimes, I had gone with him. I felt bad crying in front of Amira and had I gone with Lazer, we would have cried together. But his parents were Holocaust survivors; he has no interest in going back to the places where they lost so much.
I dreaded the trip that would take me out of Israel, away from the others.Once I landed in Poland, I realized that it would be impossible for me not to see, not to feel. I had thought I was going to support Amira and yet, in many ways, she supported me. It was a brutal trip, agonizing in so many ways.
As I sat this week, listening to the itinerary of where Davidi will go, my eyes filled with tears. I know the route they will take, the places they will see, and the agonies he will feel. He is supposed to tell them if we had relatives in one of the cities where they will visit. My great-grandmother lived in Cracow with my grandfather's two sisters. They will spend Shabbat there; walk on roads my grandfather once walked. I know only the names but not where they lived. My mother has copies of letters that her grandfather wrote to her father. I'll have to ask her if she has copies of the envelopes...if she has an address. Do I want my Davidi to go there?
When my mother-in-law and father-in-law went back to the small village where my father-in-law had grown up as a child - many years after the war had ended - he was greeted with a knife by the woman who had moved into his father's home. It seems Lazer's father, had lent her some money and she thought his son had come to call in the loan. When my father-in-law explained he only wanted to show his wife and daughter the home in which he had grown up, the woman allowed him to enter.
|One of the mass graves at Chelmno
I'll have to make him a list...so many names to include and I have to find the strength to tell him about each one...what little I know, so that they won't only be names.
Binyamin Elimelech - Elie carries his name...he was newly married with the Germans came to their village just after the Passover holiday and took him away. He and his young wife never returned. An uncle he would never know was lost to my husband. And now, Elie's daughter carries the name Gavriella - who was Binyamin Elimelech's sister - she was murdered in Auschwitz by the Nazis - an aunt my husband would never have a chance to meet. She was only 12 years old when they killed her.
And my great grandmother, Raizel...my sister carries her name. She sent her son, my grandfather, to America so that he wouldn't end up in the Polish army...and saved him from the German army as well.
And Shmuel...who fell in the forest and told his cousin to go on without him...my Shmulik carries his name.
And Shaye, my husband's grandfather, who sold shoes and kept a Gemara, part of the Talmud, under the counter so that when there were no customers, he could take out the book and learn.The Germans murdered Shaye...and today, there is one in Canada, several in Israel and in New York including Davidi's uncle, my husband's brother. And on and on it goes...so many names.
Eighteen is such a strange age. He's so tall, my Davidi, so beautiful. He has the most amazing blue eyes - like Elie. He is the tallest of my boys. I know that what he will see in Poland will cripple him, change him, and ultimately make him stronger. "You won't recognize your son," said the principal of his school as he explained more about the upcoming trip.
It's right that he goes to Poland because when he returns, he will know the great secret of Israel - we have fought for our survival across battlefields and ghettos. We rose from the gas chambers; walked across deserts to get here. Here in the land no one will take us from; here in the place God intended us to be.
To fight for Israel is to understand our history and our destiny. Our connection to this land, our right to be here, didn't start with the Holocaust - that is just one of many absurd claims that the Palestinians make. But the need to be here and nowhere else crystallized post-Holocaust. If they can do that there...than we cannot live there...and there can be defined as all of Europe, the Arab lands where the Jews were driven out in 1948 and the early 1950s. And it can include America too.
The army is a journey, a life-altering experience. But Davidi is about to embark on another journey. Compared to Poland, the army is, in many ways, easy. It makes sense; it is tangible, and for a young man, it is physical as much, if not more, than emotional. Poland is all emotion - there is no one left to save; no one to bring home. No matter how strong you are, the past cannot be changed. You can't run faster, fight harder. For all the times Israelis have flown around the world to save others, we couldn't save our own. That is the ultimate truth of the Holocaust.
I've written about breaking points - we all have a point that breaks us, a moment where we just don't think we can go on. Some are more real than others; some take you closer to the edge. I had two in Poland -
|Crematoria ruins in Auschwitz...and
a picture I left there...of the Kotel
and my children
The second was in a place I never expected. I knew the minute the bus turned into this tiny village that it was going to be bad. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon, and the bus had to back up a few times to make the turns on the tiny streets. And the harder it was, the more I knew they would only be bringing us here to see something really bad.
What I saw was a wall surrounding a large area, and in the center a small monument. Fields behind and to the side. And I listened to what 1,600 Polish villagers did to their 1,500 Jewish neighbors...they rounded them up, herded them into the synagogue, and set fire to the building and watched them die...here on that spot where we stood...once there had been a synagogue and 1,500 people, men, women, and children had died here. I looked at the ground and felt I was standing on their blood and I felt sick. But if the sin of the murder was not enough, for the next 60 years, they lied and refused to admit it.
|Jedwabne - they blasted a stereo from those houses to disrupt
the ceremony recognizing that it was the people of Jedwabne
who murdered their Jewish neighbors in August, 1941
As I stood near the monument with the Jewish star and the Israeli flag, and heard about how the villagers made noise and tried to disrupt the ceremony and how, to this day, the monument that stands there only refers to the "1,500 Jews who were murdered."
It was a huge improvement over the one that had stood for 60 years with the lie, "For the 1,500 Poles who were murdered by the Hitlerites." Only it wasn't the Nazis who murdered them and they weren't murdered because they were Poles. It was Poles that murdered them, and it was because they were Jews. There were no Russians, no Germans in Jedwabne on the day the townspeople murdered their Jewish neighbors.
I listened. I saw the monument, and I just broke inside. I told the tour organizers and Amira that I was done...right there in that village...and couldn't take anymore. I wanted to take a cab to the airport and wait for the rest of the group. I told Amira to stay with the group but I had to go. We were leaving Poland that night, but I couldn't wait. They wouldn't let me go. I told them I was an adult, though I probably wasn't acting like one. Ultimately, I somehow found the strength to stay with the group, to go to yet another concentration camp - Treblinka...but all I could do was wait for the wheels of the plane to leave Poland. And when they did, I took my first real breath and prayed the flight would go quickly. All I wanted was to put my feet down on Israeli soil, to touch the ground, to be home.
I think the hardest thing for a parent to handle is the knowledge that their child is somewhere in pain - physical or emotional. It is impossible to go to Poland and visit the concentration camps, what remains of the ghettos, the abandoned synagogues and endless mass graves...and not cry, not break. The tears that come in Poland come from the depths of such agony.
When Amira and I went, we had the most amazing guide - an Israeli who had been to Poland 60 times...whose parents and grandparents came from Poland. He took us to his grandfather's grave, one of 85,000 in a huge field of mostly unmarked graves...a few years before our visit, the guide had used German records to find where his grandfather was buried so at least his grandfather had a headstone, unlike those all around him.
I wish I could be there for Davidi, to promise him that I would take him out. He's 18 years old. He will survive the trip to Poland - they go with Israeli guards and the power and protection of the State of Israel. And still my heart breaks because while Israel can protect him physically, no power on earth can protect his heart, his soul from the devastation he will see. Even 70 years later, it is crippling. He'll come back stronger...he'll come back changed...but in these weeks before he goes, I can only think about what I saw, what I know he will see...
There are ashes that remain in the ovens, ashes piled into a mountain in Maidanek - it is called the Mountain of Ashes...I thought it was a symbolic use of the word, but it's not, it's very real...
The cemeteries are being destroyed. Unlike the Polish cemeteries that are so neat and often have beautiful flowers, the Jewish cemeteries are overgrown, abandoned, desolate. Many of the headstones have been desecrated.
The bunkers at Auschwitz, the suitcases, piles of glasses, and human hair that remain decades after later.
We went in the summer. Saba Moshe, grandfather Moshe, went with us. He looked at Auschwitz and said, "it's all wrong...all wrong." He was looking at the grass-covered feels. "There was no grass here. If there was, we would have eaten it." When Davidi goes, there will be no grass. The cold will be incredible, especially for a child born and raised in Israel.
All this and more, he will see, he will experience - and I keep thinking to myself...he's only 18. Amira was the same age, but I was with her...I wasn't there for Shmulik when he went and he came back stronger and better for having gone. I won't be there for Davidi...I have to believe he'll come back stronger and better as well. For now, I just want it to be over.

I am not familiar with these types of chemistries so I cannot offer much in the way of guidance. It sounds like the materials of construction exposed to your reaction conditions are titanium grades 1 and 3. Titanium is generally resistant to oxidizing acids and conditions that permit the protective oxide layer to be maintained. The presence of halides may be cause for concern. Previous experience with certain MOCs at production, pilot, or lab scale might offer some insight.

Overcoming Pathological Gambling: Therapist Guide by Robert Ladouceur
Book DescriptionAs gambling becomes more prevalent and more accessible in our society, pathological gambling is growing as a serious problem. In most instances, excessive gambling negatively affects a person's home, social and professional life, as well as leads to serious financial trouble. In repeated trials, cognitive-behavioural therapy has proven an extremely effective treatment for this problem. Written by the developers of an empirically supported CBT program for the treatment of pathological gambling, this Therapist Guide includes all the information and materials necessary to implement successful treatment. Most pathological gamblers exhibit misconceptions or erroneous beliefs about the nature of gambling, believing they can "beat the system". One of the central points of focus of this treatment is to help clients correct these beliefs and understand the true nature of games of chance. The authors provide step-by-step instructions for clinicians to help clients understand all of the facets of their problem. In addition to correcting erroneous beliefs about gambling, this program teaches problem solving skills, self-assessment techniques, and trigger recognition and avoidance. Designed to be used in conjunction with the corresponding Workbook, this guide provides results not only in supervised therapy, but in long-term relapse prevention as well.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis resists elimination by human immune responses through incompletely- characterized mechanisms. To determine whether M. tuberculosis uses antigenic variation to evade elimination by T cell responses, we tested the hypothesis that M. tuberculosis generates escape mutants of the epitopes recognized by human T cells. We compared the sequences of 491 experimentally-verified human T cell epitopes in 21 strains of M. tuberculosis from the six global lineages of the M. tuberculosis complex, and made the surprising discovery that 468 (95%) of the known epitopes exhibit no sequence variation across these lineages, which represent strains of M. tuberculosis whose ancestors diverged >30,000 years ago. To determine whether the observed hyperconservation of T cell epitopes was simply the effect of low sequence diversity in the M. tuberculosis genome, we compared the ratio of the rates of nonsynonymous and synonymous single- nucleotide polymorphisms (dN/dS) in the epitopes compared with that in the experimentally-determined essential and nonessential genes, and found that the dN/dS of the known epitopes is the lowest in the M. tuberculosis genome. The observation that the known human T cell epitopes are hyperconserved suggests that the bacteria actually benefit from T cell recognition, but it is also consistent with the possibility that prior efforts at epitope discovery were skewed toward discovery of conserved epitopes. To test the hypothesis that there are variable T cell epitopes of M. tuberculosis, we will sequence 180 phylogenetically-diverse strains of M. tuberculosis, and identify the most diverse regions of the M. tuberculosis genome. We will then use extensive in silico analyses to identify those variable sequences that are predicted to encode human T cell epitopes. With that set of predicted epitopes, we will assay T cell responses to synthetic peptides having sequences matching those in the subject's infecting isolate, to identify which of the predicted epitopes are true targets of human T cell recognition. Since we anticipate that these efforts will lead to the discovery of a large set of variable epitopes, we describe further efforts to test the hypothesis that sequence variations in the newly-discovered variable epitopes are due to selection by human T cell responses. In studies beyond the scope of this application, we will use selected newly-discovered variable epitopes to test the hypothesis that human T cell recognition of variable epitopes is more closely associated with protective immunity than is recognition of the previously-discovered hyperconserved epitopes. Our studies are likely to have a large overall impact on the field of human immunity to tuberculosis, as they will markedly expand our knowledge of targets of human T cells in M. tuberculosis, they will enable novel studies and discoveries that are not currently possible, and they are likely to provide a pathway to more efficacious TB vaccines.
Tuberculosis afflicts nearly 1/3 of all humans, and kills nearly 2 million people every year. The work proposed in this project will reveal crucial new information on how the bacteria that cause tuberculosis interact with the human immune system. The findings will have an important impact on development of new vaccines against tuberculosis.

Users browse/search through the design sets (approximately 500 sets) by category, name, new releases. Each design set has about 12 designs that are displayed to the user. On the website these are shown in a grid three columns wide by however many rows are required.
We would like to have an iPhone (and optionally iPad depending on cost) application developed that allows the user to browse the list of design sets. The standard iPhone list views (with graphic design see below) would apply. The first level navigation could be New sets, All Sets, By Category, Search. For both new sets and all sets a list of sets would be displayed in a grid fashion. There is one key image per set and a set title. The user would then click the set to view all the designs in the set. By Category would display a list of categories in a list and once a category was selected the result would be the same as new sets or all sets mentioned before.
There are user accounts which make available a user wish list and their previous purchase history. Therefore when browsing the sets a graphical indicator (badge or similar) should indicate if the user has purchased the item before or wants to add it to their wish list. The detail page for a set should support adding or removing the item from the wish list. This will make an XML call to the website and should not be stored locally in the app.
A user login area is required. (app should remember their account between sessions but they need option to login/change if required). Separate XML transactions will be available to support this. Even though information is remembered between sessions the login request should be sent each time. The return for the login request will include a list of any sets the user has already purchased so when browsing the sets these can be flagged.
All data will come from the website as XML as agreed in an upfront specification. As this file is large it will be gzipped. The XML will contain the list of sets (title, description, price), the set categories and search keywords and URL's to the set images. The app should cache this information and check for a new version of the XML (a small version file separate to the main data file will be available) before downloading. When images are downloaded for the sets they should be cached on the iPhone by URL. We will have a version number as part of the image URL which will change if the image is changed (rare).
The app should work without data connection (as data will be local) but obviously data connection is required to update the data (should be checked automatically each time the application is run).
Phase 2 is to support purchases which need to be integrated with our website as we have different specials that can't be supported through the in app purchasing process of iOS. The user will need to add sets to their cart that links to our website for price calculation and then complete their purchase with integration to mobile PayPal site.
This project also includes graphic design consistent with our website to be applied to the list controls and page layouts (we want something nice rather than standard iOS list controls).
Full source code is required to be provided.
We have our own app store account some assistance with the app provisioning will be required.

I went to the pond today,
To see the ducks and the fish.
It was such a beautiful day
It should certainly rain, I wish!
The fishes were swimming,
The ducks were quacking,
I was standing there smiling and laughing!
Soon I fell asleep among the bushes,
I never knew I would return home with stitches!
Because an alligator bit me and tore my clothes!
But then I saw that I had no toes!
I started to scream!
But that one my dear friends,
Has to be a weird little bad dream!

I was emotionally worn out by the end of this poem. You shined light on some unfortunate realities, but let me down softly with: "Sunshine in the heart encased is ever in a smile,/but all we do is chase the storm for yet another mile." Well done.
Great work Frank. I really enjoyed this piece. You really broke it down into fine words describing how most people view life, I think. Until some light is shed on the matter, we don't appreciate things around us. Unfortunately, most of the time, it takes something very drastic for people to appreciate the lives that God has gave them, no matter the circumstances. It really bothers me when people walk outside and don't recognize the beauty of the day, whether it be raining or sunshine. Same in our lives, whether times are good or bad, we should appreciate the time that we have. Thanks so much for the lovely poem that you shared with all of us. I wish you well and God Bless. Lisa
