When accessing a page with a self-signed certificate for which an exception has been added, _sometimes_ firefox 'forgets' the exception and show "This connection is untrusted message".
When going to readd it, it's remembered and you're not allowed to add the exception (so it's not that the exception were deleted from the store).
See attached screenshot.
Workaround: Choose to add the exception, get firefox to realise it knows the certificate, cancel window, reload https page.
Reproducible: Always

Untrusted certificate and valid certificate at the same time
This issue is still in Firefox 7.0.1 (Windows 7 64 bit). Please deliver a fix.
When you've added a permanent exception for a self-signed certificate this is sometimes forgotten at random times. The page that the certificate is self-signed is shown
and when you want to add the exception again it shows that the certificate is valid, yet you can't continue and you can't add the exception. The only way to quickly solve it is by killing firefox.exe.
Possibly related or the same:
I don't what the issue was in 2009.
The additional issue described in 2011 sounds like a dupe of 660749.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 660749 ***
Let's see whether the fix for bug 660749 fixes this issue, before we mark that it is a duplicate.
What was "added" in 2011? The content of comment 4? You can even view it in the screenshot how the button to add the exception was disabled.
Niels, did you test the workaround that I mentioned?
I'm not sure the fix for bug 660749 would fix it other than by chance when touching related code. It is for "trusting less" stored certificates, this is due to "not trusting enough" (not finding the cert).
The "valid and invalid at the same time" issue is now bug 659736.

Satellite MeteorologyEntry ID: Sat_Meteor
Abstract: This Satellite Meteorology course was developed for middle and high school
science classes. Modules were designed to serve as stand-alone lessons,
however, we strongly encourage a sequential approach to the material.
To maximize learning from this Satellite Meteorology course we recommend that
- Read each module in the order they are presented
-Engage in all hands-on exercises when they ... are offered
- Tackle "Problems with Solutions" and "Assessments" before moving on to the
next module (links to "Problems and Solutions" and "Assessments" are available
on the last page of each module)
The material was designed to challenge students through the end of 12th grade
so middle school teachers and students may want to skim or skip a few sections.
Others wishing to explore the topic further are encouraged to visit the CIMSS's
college level course that was used as a springboard for this project.
Additional on-line resources used to augment course content include numerous
NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and NOAA (National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration) web sites. Course content was further enhanced
using CIMSS Director Dr. Steven Ackerman's Meteorology text entitled
"Understanding the Atmosphere" (Ackerman & Knox, 2002).
Course content is consistent with Wisconsin?s Model Academic Standards as
outlined by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI). Links to National
Science Content Standards have also been identified. A CD-ROM with Teacher's
Guide accompany the on-line material. Applicable science standards for each
module can also be found in the Teacher's Guide. Educators are urged to visit
the Teachers Resource Page

Empty Music Playlists - Help Appreciated
Sorry guys if this is covered....
Very aggravating, but this happens regularly. I go to play a playlist with a music player (any player, I have several). Once I click on the playlist, it's empty. I check my other playlists, and they're all empty. Once I restart the phone, the playlists are fine again, but later in the day they will be empty again. What gives? Anyone else find a fix for this, or at least what the root cause is?
I sync with my computer using isyncr, and have my music on a 64GB Sandisk Ultra Card. Thanks in advance! Cheers!

Re: Empty Music Playlists - Help Appreciated
I've had this happen a few times. I think the SD card randomly ejects" which clears out the playlist. I have synced everything, music and playlists on double twist to save to my SD card. Seems to fix the issue. Other option is to save everything on internal memory.

Re: Empty Music Playlists - Help Appreciated
I'm on my 2nd SD with Sandisk, as the first one constantly ejected itself. It turns out, there was an error in manufacturing the first wave of cards, and they didn't play well with the S4. Sandisk promptly replaced it with one that works perfect. I have all my photos on my SD as well, and that is never an issue (photos never disappear). This is definitely something with the music apps on Android.

Radiotherapy is an efficient method of treating cancers albeit often resulting in varying outcomes. It is abundantly clear that cells vary in their response to ionizing radiation induced DNA damage depending on their cell type, differentiation status, proliferation state and cell cycle stage etc. Normal stem cells exhibit a radiosensitive phenotype contributing to acute and chronic sequelae of normal tissue injury following radiotherapy, but differentiated cells display a loss of function of apoptosis and are radioresistant. Most of the research has focused primarily on radiosensitization of tumor and less on radioprotection of normal tissues. Therefore, an improved understanding of differential radiation responses in varying cellular contexts is imperative for efficient treatment and management of malignancies by radiotherapy. Cellular response to DNA damage depends on the combination of complex and sophisticated networks of DNA damage response signals that monitor/ maintain genome integrity and cell death signaling pathways that eliminate damaged cells. The goal of this research is to characterize the role of phospho protein phosphatase- 2A (PP2A) in regulation of radiosensitivity of normal stem cells. Specifically, a multifaceted approach has been proposed to unravel the novel associations between cellular differentiation, DNA damage response and apoptotic response. Utilizing the normal stem cell tissue niches in vivo, as well as isogenic primary cell culture models of normal stem and differentiated cells, molecular basis of stem cell radiosensitivity and the dual role of PP2A in inhibiting DNA damage response and promoting apoptotic response in normal stem cells will be delineated along with determining the validity of PP2A is a molecular target for development of novel radioprotective drugs. This insight into the molecular switches and signal transduction networks unique to stem cells that are different from the differentiated progeny cells would be crucial for developing therapeutic prevention and intervention strategies to effectively minimize the stem cell drop-out associated with undesired side effects of radiotherapy which impairs the quality of life of cancer survivors especially in the pediatric neoplasms.
Radiation-induced injury to normal tissues impairs the quality of life of cancer survivors, especially following radiation therapy for childhood neoplasms. Low dose radiation-induced apoptosis occurs selectively in stem cells which display an attenuated DNA damage response and rapid induction of apoptosis following irradiation. Goal of the proposed research is to characterize the molecular basis of stem cell radiosensitivity and to characterize the efficacy of PP2A phosphatase as a novel molecular target for development of radioprotective drugs.

Artist-In-Residence Program at Acadia
The Artist-in-Residence Program at Acadia National Park offers professional writers, composers, and all visual and performing artists the opportunity to pursue their particular art form while surrounded by the inspiring landscape of the park. In the spring and fall, the park provides housing to participants for two-week to four-week periods. No additional stipend is available. Artists are responsible for providing for their own travel and travel expenses.
In return, participating artists are asked to donate to the park collection a piece of work representative of their style and their stay. These creative works will be displayed on a rotating schedule or shared with the public through other appropriate means during the upcoming seasons. Artists are also asked to participate in one public program per week of their residency such as demonstrations, talks, exploratory hikes, or performances. In the fall, artists will be working with fifth and sixth grade students. Programs can be tailored to your medium, interests, and experiences, and only consume a few hours of your stay.
Please note: Any medium that involves collecting or altering park resources would be in conflict with national park preservation goals and would be deemed inappropriate for a residency.
Applications for 2017 will be accepted in mid September. Application is by electronic application only. After completing this online application, artists are also asked to send the following:
For visual artists: Send 6 different digital images in jpg or pdf format. File size not to exceed 3MB. Larger files will not be forwarded to the judges – there will be NO exceptions.
- For all other mediums: An appropriate sample of your recent work (e.g., a brief manuscript excerpt, short story, article, poetry, etc. – maximum of six pages – from writers and poets; one uploaded video or audio from dancers & other performing artists), plus the following materials as email attachments:
- 1 – 2 page résumé and summary of creative works.
- 1 page statement about what you hope to accomplish and achieve during a term as an artist-in-residence at Acadia National Park.
- Description of public /school presentation.
- Names and contact information of two references who know your work.
Please send info by EMAIL ONLY and all together in 1 email to with the subject line 'Your name, Artist in Residence Program' to firstname.lastname@example.com
Please do not send to any other email address
- For additional information or if you have questions about your application, please contact: the Artist-In-Residence Program Coordinator, Kate Petrie at Acadia National Park: firstname.lastname@example.com or phone: 207-288-1312
Selection Process
A panel composed of professionals from various related disciplines and a park representative will choose the finalists for the upcoming season. Selections are made solely on the basis of submitted material.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many artists are selected each year? Between 12 – 20 artists, plus 5 alternates, are selected each year.
Do I need to have a car? Yes. There is no public transportation to the park or towns during the residency period. Artists are responsible for their own travel and travel expenses.
What are the housing arrangements? Artists are housed in a fully furnished, one-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen outfitted with pots, pans, dishes, and silverware. The park supplies linens and bedding. There is a laundry facility in the apartment complex. Occupants supply personal items such as clocks and audiovisual equipment. Occupants are responsible for cleaning the apartment prior to their departure. Pets and smoking are not allowed. Wheelchair-accessible housing is available.
Can I bring my family or pet? Family members may join the artist for the residency as long as the number of occupants does not exceed the occupancy limits of the apartment. Pets are not permitted.
We look forward to your participation!
Thank you for your interest in the Artist in Residence program at Acadia National Park.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
The Gargoyle is one of those books that will thoroughly
annoy some readers, while leading others practically panting to convince their
friends to read it. It has received an unusual amount of pre-publication press,
particularly for a first-time novelist, and it is ambitious in its content,
spanning centuries and locales. Then there is the range of subject matter:
correlations to Dante's Inferno, combined with tales of a medieval
scriptorium, mixed into the daily life of a modern day burn victim who was a
former porn king. Is it any surprise then, that this book already has plenty of
detractors as well as ardent fans?
The novel opens with a strong hook. The first person narrator, who is also the story's protagonist, describes his horrendous (and utterly stupid) car accident a crash caused by drugs and alcohol and a vision of burning arrows. After a brief ...

My wife's friends Hen do
My Wife at a hen do
Well, looks like we maybe on for a bit of a life changer.
I have always been into interracial porn but the wife has never really approved and so it's never been a big thing for us. That was until last weekend. My wife is 24, we've been together 3 years and she's the only one of her mates to be married so far. We got a quick do in Vegas as a surprise last year, so had none of the stag/hen nights you would normally expect.
Her best friend since primary, Sophie, is getting married in a week and they had her hen night last weekend. Heavy drinking and the usual down in the centre of London. So she was away for the weekend. We agreed not to speak much whilst she was away so they could make a weekend of it. Obviously I spent all weekend on the pull in the pub.
She comes back and it must have been the hangover horn but she was bang up for it. We were kissing and stuff and she telling me how much she missed and how much fun she had. They're a tonne of good looking girls so I expect they were chatted up a lot and so I asked her if that's what's turned her on so much. She just replied it was kinda hot but that wasn't it. I was curious now. So we were on the bed making out and I have my hand in her wet knickers rubbing her clit. So I ask her in between kisses what got my girl so wet. She's grinding her hips onto my hand when she says they spent Sat night in the VIP booth of a strip bar. I thought she was going all lesbo on me until she said the guys were hot….
She's smirking and working my belt off when she says, y'know I have never really fancied black guys until then but the ones there were really hot. This is like music to my ears, I can just imagine her with a black guy and I'm hard as she whips it out and franticly starts wanking me off as she lunges into snogging me. Easy I tell her, just because she closes her eyes doesn't make me a negro! I laugh expecting her to be embarrassed and she just looks down at my groin and says she knows. Now I am not small at 8 inches so I am a bit baffled at this.
'So you had some big ones down there huh' I ask. 'You could say that, certainly different to what I have seen before. It was fun.' she said.. And so she recounts the tale of Jefferson, some giant muscle bound freak at the club, who strips off to nothing and invites women in the VIP booth to sit astride him whilst he's on a chair in the middle of a room and wank him off. Apparently this privilege costs the sum total of £30 for 3 minutes. I laugh out loud because we're not well off at all but that seems a huge waste of money.'I guess Sophie had a crack then' I said, she nodded 'Yeh she got a free night of it, but the rest of us had to pay' as she smirked a Cheshire Cat grin at me. Turns out all 9 of em had a go with Sophie finishing him off by letting him doggie her in the toilets. I was shocked, not just because my wife supposedly spent £60 on him but that Sophie had shagged him on her hen night.'Why not, that's what its about getting it out of your system' said the mrs.. 'Yeh but c'mon it's a bit full on don't you think, I mean what would Gary say if he knew? She laughed, 'Hey Mr. judgment, at least she got a hen do'.. then she climbs out of her panties and strips fully ending astride my chest.
That kinda hurt because it was my pushing that decided the quickie wedding in the first place. I look down at her pussy, neatly shaven with a thin shadow of gold fluff above her muff. I beckon her to sit on my face as I offer to make it up. Her clit's like a mini hardon as I tickle it with my tongue and grab her ass checks. She was wet, really wet and I can feel it ooze down my chin. Her eyes are closed and she's rubbing her boobs as I break to ask her what she's thinking. She doesn't open her eyes but she grinds her pussy into my mouth as she tells me she's going back to wanking him off. How she did it with two hands and that she couldn't get her hands all the way around it was so thick. I try teasing her by saying she should go back and have her hen do there belatedly. She's panting louder now twitching around on my tongue. Please, please let me try it. Sophie said he made her cum really hard just with five minutes shagging.
"Do you wish that was you babe?, do you want him to pound you from behind?" She then climbs off my face as she says 'No, I want to do this'. She climbs onto my purple hard cock and slides down sloppily onto my pelvis fully impaled. Her eyes closed, no coming up and down on my dick she puts two hands on my chest and franticly fucks me be sliding back and forth on my tummy. Grunting away, her chest red and blotchy, she squeezes every last inch inside of her, seeming to hunt for more. Faster and faster. Until with a roar and then a whimper, she's cumming on my tummy. 'Fuck, oh god, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuughh, big dick, biiiiiiiig dick, fuuuuck'.
My torso is like I have had a shower and she's sat there huddled over, red panting and spent. Something tells me I better get saving for London……

Presented by WNBC and LX.TV, OpenHouse New York is an original weekly television series about New York's residential real estate market. Hosted by LX.TV's Sara Gore and George Oliphant, OpenHouse New York features weekly access to distinctive and noteworthy properties in the New York tri-state area. The show presents an intimate view of New Yorkers as they search for, purchase, and improve their dream homes.
On this week's Floorplan segment, Open House NY host George Oliphant meets with prospective home seller Sasha Tcherevkoff to detail some easy home renovations that will have a huge impact on the sticker price of his home. For anyone on the house hunt, as much as we sometimes don't want to admit it, small cosmetic differences can greatly influence our opinion of a property. It seems that some buyers would trade 500 square feet for a nicer looking kitchen or bathroom.
With a budget of around $40,000, Sasha "re-did" his kitchen and bathroom by glazing the existing fixtures, buying highest-end products from lower-end retailers like Lowe's or Home Depot, de-cluttered the apartment with a more minimalist design and lightened the space with a fresh paint job.
Sasha feels the investment in these minor and fairly easy home renovations will directly pay off when it comes time to sell. Watch the video to judge for yourself or see if you can pick up some tips of your own.

Llanelli 65 London Welsh 22
Those who remember the halcyon days of pre-league rugby also remember with affection Boxing Day at Stradey Park as one of the unsurpassable events of the rugby calendar, when as many as 20,000 would fill the ground to see the two greatest sides in the land.
That, though, was a quarter-century ago when JPR Williams, Phil Bennett and a distinguished cast of dozens of others were in their pomp and, with only 3,500 present, it may seem perverse to suggest that yesterday's thrashing of London Welsh might mark a revival in a hallowed tradition.
For one thing Llanelli fielded a decent team, half of them first choices, thereby reversing their recent trend of picking mainly under-21s in the interests of giving them experience. This policy change assured the Exiles' fate but at least by giving them due respect it gave the fixture credibility.
Which is more than it had when Llanelli beat London Welsh here 77-3 in 1989. That was the nadir of a relationship which began as long ago as 1886 and has been continued on almost every Boxing Day since 1912. At least the Exiles are on the way up again, unbeaten in 25 Courage Championship matches and as good as certain to qualify for the Third Division, having at one time fallen into the oblivion of the Fifth.
History has hung heavily on the shoulders of each generation, the memory of the nonpareil London Welsh sides of the 1960s and '70s associated with John Dawes, as baleful a legacy psychologically as that of the Wales sides of the '70s is for the modern international generation.
At Llanelli they appear to have come to terms with an illustrious history. One point behind Cardiff in the Heineken League, with these top two meeting at the Arms Park on Saturday week, they deemed this an opportunity rather than an imposition and selected and played accordingly.
From the moment Craig Quinnell scored the first try after 60 seconds, the traffic was mainly - though not exclusively - one-way. Andy Tucker, London Welsh's impressive captain, replied for the visitors and after the Evanses, Ieuan and Garan, had scored Llanelli's next two tries Craig Raymond marked his return to his home town with the Exiles' second.
They continued to seek to play with the exuberance that has characterised their ascent to the summit of the English Fourth Division, but until the very end won such a paucity of possession that Llanelli were readily able to maintain their procession to the line. By half-time Neil Boobyer, Garan Evans and Boobyer again had added further tries for Llanelli.
Boobyer's third, Quinnell's second and third and Ieuan Evans's second followed, as well as a remarkable try by Matthew Wintle in which he crashed into a post and then, as the crowd let out a collective gasp in sympathy, instantly recovered to touch down.
At this stage an even worse defeat than 1989's was looming but the Welsh roused themselves sufficiently for Leighton Davies to create two late tries for Rhodri Phillips. Had the game not been restricted, in deference to the conditions, to 30 minutes each way this might even have been the start of something.
As for those conditions, the half of the pitch in the shade of the grandstand was like iron, the rest tolerably soft. This in itself was an improvement on the earlier prospect, when Llanelli indicated that the game would probably have to be played on a back pitch usually used for training.
Still, at least there was a game. Sixty-five miles away Newport had decided at 12.30pm to proceed against Bristol, only for the Englishmen on arrival at Rodney Parade to disagree and cancellation to follow as late as 2pm. Llanelli may not be so worried about Saturday's league visit of Ebbw Vale but Bristol have to go to West Hartlepool, and that is different.

We investigated the effects of passivation on the electrical characteristics of molybdenum disulfide (MoS(2)) field effect transistors (FETs) under nitrogen, vacuum, and oxygen environments. When the MoS(2) FETs were exposed to oxygen, the on-current decreased and the threshold voltage shifted in the positive gate bias direction as a result of electrons being trapped by the adsorbed oxygen at the MoS(2) surface. In contrast, the electrical properties of the MoS(2) FETs changed only slightly in the different environments when a passivation layer was created using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Specifically, the carrier concentration of unpassivated devices was reduced to 6.5 × 10(15) cm(-2) in oxygen from 16.3 × 10(15) cm(-2) in nitrogen environment. However, in PMMA-passivated devices, the carrier concentration remained nearly unchanged in the range of 1-3 × 10(15) cm(-2) regardless of the environment. Our study suggests that surface passivation is important for MoS(2)-based electronic devices.

You've asked, you've pleaded.
We've hinted, we've teased.
At long last, we FINALLY reveal how the Human Blockhead stunt works.
We've wanted to teach you ever since Brian performed it at the NYC Live Diggnation event. But to be honest, our biggest problem was finding someone daring enough... intense enough... insane enough to try it.
And then Brian co-hosted the Digg Reel with Andrew Bancroft, and we knew we had our man.
First off, let's be clear: shoving anything up your nose is a bad idea. Nobody should do it except under the supervision of an expert. All of this is for your informational edification only.
And since we've made that clear, here's what it boils down to: you've got two major sets of sinuses in your head: your frontals (above your eyes), and your maxillary sinuses (the big ones that curve down to become your throat). It's possible to push a skinny object (like a nail) into either of them, but the frontal sinuses are a REALLY BAD idea, since there's mere millimeters of soft tissue separating the nail from YOUR BRAIN.
The blockhead's properly performed by inserting the nail into the maxillary sinus, straight back until it touches the back of your throat. Check out this clip from CNN for more proper, "scientific" detail.
Major props to Andrew Bancroft for pulling off this stunt in minutes!

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
People Are Animals Too
As I wash dishes at the kitchen sink, my husband paces behind me, irritated. "Have you seen my keys?" he snarls, then huffs out a loud sigh and stomps from the room with our dog, Dixie, hot on his heels, anxious over her favorite human's upset.
In the past I would have been right behind Dixie. I would have turned off the faucet and joined in the hunt while trying to soothe Scott with cheerful bromides like "Don't worry, they'll turn up!" Sometimes I'd offer wifely pointers on how not to lose his keys to begin with. Or, if I was cranky, snap "Calm down." It didn't matter what I did, Scott typically only grew angrier, and a simple case of missing keys would soon become a full-blown angst-ridden drama starring both of us and Dixie, our poor nervous Australian shepherd. Penny Jane, our composed border collie mix, was the only one smart enough to stay out of the show.
Now, I focus on the wet plate in my hands. I don't turn around. I don't say a word. I'm using a technique I learned from a dolphin trainer.
I love my husband. With his fair skin and thick chestnut hair, he's handsome in an angular Nordic way. He's well read and adventurous, and does a hysterical rendition of a northern Vermont accent that still cracks me up after fourteen years
of marriage. We like many of the same things: dogs, jazz, medium-rare hamburgers, good bourbon, long walks, the color orange. But he can also get on my nerves. He hovers around me in the kitchen when I'm trying to concentrate on the simmering pans, asking meif I read this or that piece in The New Yorker. He finishes off boxes of cookies, especially the dense caramel bars his mother sends from Minnesota, then says "I thought you were done with them." He leaves wadded tissues in the car. He drives through red lights, calling them "long yellows." He suffers from serious bouts of spousal deafness, yet never fails to hear me when I mutter to myself on the other side of the house. "What did you say?" he'll shout. "Nothing," I'll yell back. "What?" he'll call again.
These minor annoyances are not the stuff of separation and divorce, but in sum they dulled my love for Scott. Sometimes when I looked at him I would see not the lean Minnesotan I adored but a dirty-Kleenex- dropping, hard-of-hearing, prickly cookie monster. At those moments, he was less my beloved husband and more a man-sized fly pestering me, darting up my nose, landing in the sauce on the stove, buzzing through my life.
So, like many wives before me, I ignored a library of advice books and set about improving him. By nagging, of course, which usually had the opposite effect from the one I longed for—his size 11 shoes continued to pile up by the front door, he went longer between haircuts, he continued to return empty milk cartons to the fridge. I tried cheerful advice like "You are so handsome, but no one can see it behind your five o'clock shadow." That usually resulted in another couple of razorless days. I made diplomatic overtures like "What if we each promise not to leave smelly clothes lying around?" "Okay," my husband would agree good-naturedly, and then walk right past his reeking bike garb on the bedroom floor.
I, a modern woman, tried being direct, asking him in a voice as neutral as a robot's, "Would you please not drive so fast?" Even this approach would backfire as in my simple question my husband might hear an accusation or an order and then push the accelerator a hair more. When all else failed, I yelled, and then we fought.
We went to a counselor to smooth the edges off our marriage. The counselor, a petite, sharp-boned woman who took notes on a legal pad, didn't understand what we were doing there and complimented us repeatedly on how well we communicated. I threw in the towel. I guessed she was right—our union was better than most—and resigned myself to the occasional sarcastic remark and mounting resentment.
Then something magical happened. I discovered animal training.
I stumbled into the world of animal training nearly ten years ago when we brought home Dixie, an eight-week-old herding dog, ten pounds of furry red energy. It was as if we had lit a bottle rocket in our house, the way she ricocheted from room to room, a toy or two hanging out of her mouth. I gave up meditating in the morning to begin my daily pursuit of wearing her out. It was a sunup-to-way-past-sundown job. Before I even got dressed or made coffee, I would sit cross- legged on the floor, hold a faux sheepskin rug before me, and call "Get it." Dixie would catapult herself into the rug and rip it from my hands, her amber eyes afire, and then we'd each tug with all our might. We played that game so much, the rug was eventually reduced to a slobber-encrusted handful of fabric.
I learned to throw a ball properly for the first time in my life, and then a Frisbee. I tossed balls and Frisbees and walked so much I went down a size in pants. Dixie was either tugging, wrestling, or running, or she was fast asleep under a table where we couldn't pet her. Should we get down on our hands and knees and reach under to pat her, Dixie would look miffed, like an Olympic athlete roused from a power nap, then pull herself to her paws and move just out of reach. Cuddling, from Dixie's point of view, was for wuss dogs.
Though I think we were a bit of a disappointment to Dixie, the way commoners can be to royalty, we were just smart enough to know that a herding breed needed a job. So we went looking for an agility class, where you learn to run your dog through a whimsical obstacle course of tunnels, jumps, and teeter-totters. At that time, we found only one trainer around Portland, Maine, who taught this crazy skill. Before we could tackle the course, though, we were required to take a puppy training class.
If this trainer had used traditional techniques, the leash-popping and pushing your dog this way and that, I think the story would have ended there. For me, there is little magic nor imagination in that old-school approach. But it was my good luck that the trainer used progressive, positive techniques, techniques based on an altogether different philosophy. Rather than learning to boss our pups around and make them into obedient dogs, we learned to communicate and cooperate with them. She didn't teach us just how to get our dogs to sit, but rather how to think about our canine companions.
Amid the joyful chaos of puppy class—the barking, the tangled leashes, the marital squabbles—I found an intellectual and personal challenge I hadn't expected. I found a new me, a me with much more patience and self-control. I learned to be precise and observant. I learned to teach Dixie what I wanted rather than what I didn't want. I learned not to take anything she did personally, not even when she ripped my shorts in a fit of overexcitement. All this from a six-week puppy training class.
I also began communicating with another species, and you can never underestimate the thrill of that. I signed us up for another class, and another class, and another class. I was hooked. So hooked that when I landed on the Paris set of 102 Dalmatians for a magazine assignment, I spent every spare moment hanging out with the animal trainers, chatting about such things as how they taught a parrot to ride atop a bullmastiff and how they got the dog not to shake whenever the bird's wings brushed its back. The trainers, to my surprise, had all earned actual degrees in exotic animal training. They had studied at a community college outside Los Angeles. It was the go-to school, they told me, not to mention the only program of its kind. Back home, I taught Dixie to bring in the Sunday New York Times, scribbled down the name of the school, and threw the scrap of paper into my idea folder.
In 2003 I began work on a book about this school. For a year, I commuted between Maine and California, where I followed students at Moorpark College's Exotic Animal Training and Management Program. There I spent my days watching students do the seemingly impossible: teach a caracal to offer its paws for a nail clipping, a camel to shoot hoops, a baboon to get into a crate and close the door behind her. Each day at the teaching zoo was packed with countless lessons, from how to pick up a boa constrictor to how to speak to a wolf. As I observed the students, I essentially became a student too. I learned not to look the primates in the eye, to stride with confident ease while on a cougar walk, and never to stand close to any enclosure, especially not the big carnivores'. I learned that when Zulu the mandrill bobbed his head at me, he was saying "Back off." That when Rosie the baboon smacked her lips together, she was saying "Hello, friend." That when Julietta the emu made a thumping noise in her chest, she was worried.
I learned the language of animal trainers, what they meant when they talked about A-to-Bs (teaching an animal to move from one spot to another) or targeting (having an animal press its snout to something). If somebody told me that they had just been grooming with the squirrel monkey, I knew that they had sat close to the cage, held up their arms, and let the monkey run his black fingers over their skin. I learned what a positive count is (making sure the animal is there in its enclosure) and that B.E. stood for "behavioral enrichment," basically anything that made the animal's life more stimulating, whether it be a toy or a walk on a leash. Training, it turns out, is one of the things that make an animal's life interesting. So you could even teach an animal an A-to-B for B.E.
I soaked up their sayings, such as "Go back to kindergarten," shorthand for when an animal has trouble learning a behavior and the trainer needs to back up a few steps in the training. "Train every animal as if it's a killer whale" meant to work with every animal as if you could neither forcibly move it nor dominate it. "It's never the animal's fault" is pretty much what it says: If an animal flounders in training, it's the trainer's fault. One of my personal favorites was "Everything with a mouth bites." I wrote down that line in all caps, for my research but for myself too. Why? I wasn't sure exactly. It had a philosophical ring. It was also silly, but made such good, plain sense, a funny reminder of what a great leveler Mother Nature can be. A cute, fuzzy animal will bite you just as easily as a mean-looking one. By the same token, the animal doesn't care whether you're as angelic as Mother Teresa or as loathsome as Caligula. Shiny auras, the best intentions, and sainthood don't mean much, if anything, in the animal kingdom.
So much of what I was learning at the school had meaning beyond the front gate. This place, where the great divide between animals and humans closes, captured my imagination in a way nothing else had. Every visit drove home how complicated, weird, and fantastic the natural world is. I felt my mind crack wide open trying to take it all in.
I trailed the students to class and then out to the teaching zoo grounds where they practiced on a badger or a lion or the mysterious binturong, a rain forest animal that resembles a raccoon on steroids. I watched as one student trained an olive baboon to let her rub lotion on her hands, as another taught a capuchin monkey to unravel its long leash when it became tangled during walks, and yet another instruct the Bengal tiger to get in her kiddie pool on command. I tagged along on field trips, during which I listened, rapt, as professional trainers explained how they taught dolphins to flip or ibis to fly to them. At a private compound in Southern California, I took notes in the fading light of day as six elephants, on command, lined up in a row, urinated, turned to their left in unison, hooked trunks to tails, and, single file, swaggered into the barn for the night. In Cincinnati, I saw a leashed cheetah sit calmly on a desk next to a trainer as she lectured to a bewitched audience. At a conference in Baltimore, I listened as trainers described how they had taught spotted eagle rays to swim to a feeder.
I can't say the instant it happened, but eventually it dawned on me that if trainers could work such wonders with spotted eagle rays and baboons and dolphins, might not their methods apply to another species —humans? It was not much of a leap for me. By just watching, thinking, and reading about animal behavior, I had discovered a good deal about the behavior of my own species. In a kind of reverse anthropomorphism, I couldn't help seeing parallels, especially with the primates, but with all the animals, even the turkey vulture, which, like us, sunbathes. True, people are more complicated than animals, but maybe not as much as we assume. As the relatively nascent field of animal behavior continues to grow, more and more research shows that animals are anything but mindless organisms driven solely by instinct. Traits that were considered unique to humans, such as tool use and collaboration, have been found among other primates and now birds and fish. Turns out groupers and moray eels hunt together, and crows are quite handy with a bit of wire.
Complicated or not, we Homo sapiens, the highest of the primates, the tippy-top of the food chain, a frighteningly successful species, are, in the end, members of the animal kingdom, like it or not. Animal trainers showed me that there are universal rules of behavior that cut across all species. Why should we be any different?
I began to take home what I learned at the teaching zoo. If my husband did something that annoyed me, I thought, "How would an exotic animal trainer respond?" If I got into a squabble with a relative, I did the same. If the clerk at the post office gave me a hard time, likewise. That may sound ridiculous. I admit it. In fact, at the start I thought of it as a kind of goofy experiment, but the early results were so convincing that I kept at it.

Hi everyone,
After reading so many articles on Battery desulfator i've decided to come out with my version of Battery desulfator using
Microchip base micro-controller using PIC12F629 or PIC 12F675.
"Please pardon my english" .I don't really have time to check for minor grammatical errors.
Before we begin this circuit although simple in design requires DIY builders to have at least basic PIC programming knowledge with electronics.
Honestly i had no programming knowledge initially.I started on my own on how to blink led using Pic micro-controller.
I have used this circuit i design to recover 5 Maintenance -free battery ranging from 12volts 2AH (UPS battery) to 7.2AH (Previously used in electric bicycle).I have not attempted to recover a CAR battery since i don't have any old battery in my home.
I have recovered battery eg:2AH which had voltage as low as 0.9v which i have not charged for around 8 years after removing battery from a defective home UPS.
I have managed to recover 4 12v 7.2AH battery which i have not charged since 2004.These batteries were in my self assembled electric bicycle years ago.
These batteries were all recovered in within 48hours.For a car battery it would take weeks maybe.
Battery desulfator circuit i used while with charging battery with 12volt 500ma transformer.
I'd believe using slow and steady approach do produce better result most of the time.
The frequency output from Pin 7 is 56us on with 1ms off in a infinite loop.
During programming i have set it to use internal 4MHZ PIC oscillator which have 1% tolerance and i have disabled reset /mclr.
There is only 3 connection to pic.
I noted the current consumption of the desulfator circuit is around 13 to 15mA with a well desulfated battery if connected to the charger with voltage around 13.8volts.
I noted if a old battery needs to be desulfated the voltage would increase up to 17.xx volts on battery with desulfator circuit consuming about 40 to 50mA.
The D1 diode i used is the fastest recovery diode i could find with 25ns response time.
The purpose of D2 is to prevent accidental polarity reverse at the input to protect the circuit.D2 could be replace with higher amp rating like IN5820 if needed.
It's better to obtain C1&C2 capacitor which have a low ESR rating with at least 50V.
For L2 toroid if you could get anything from 170uh to 220uh would be sufficient.Please do not wind higher than 30 turns as the resistance would increase and hence lower the circuit efficiency as well.To be honest i don't know the uH rating for my self made toroid but i got results which what matters in the end.
For the mosfet if you could find a lower turn on resistance with low turn on/off delays which will definitely improve the efficiency of the circuit.
I have connected a piezo speaker temporarily to old battery which needs to be charged since it would have higher internal-resistance.i noticed the piezo speaker would emit a loud 1KHZ sound.But if the battery is already well desulfated i noticed the piezo speaker connected temporarily to battery would hardly emit any sound at all.
We could use piezo speaker as a quick way to test to know if battery to be charged is well desulfated or internal resistance of the batery is already being lowered.
To really know the estimated internal-resistance of battery we would have to use 1Ohm maybe 50w resistor idealy 1% tolerance.
But normally it's more easy to find high power resistor with 10% tolerance instead.
To increase internal-resistance measurement accuracy.It's best recommended we wait about 12hours after battery is disconnected from charger and circuit.
Formula to check internal resistance of battery.
(Battery voltage after charge) - (battery voltage after 1ohm resistor connected connected for around 5 seconds or once battery looks stable) * 1 (Resister value in ohm.But if your resistor have 5 or 10% tolerance.It best you take min and max value eg:0.9,1.1)/(Battery voltage after charge)
(Original Battery voltage - Battery voltage with 1ohm resister) x (1/(Original battery voltage).
If you could get below ".1ohms" means the battery desulfator circuit have done a good job in recovering your old batteries.
I have uploaded the source code merely as an example and hex file which you could program the pic with any cheap USB pic programmer.I'm using KIT150 USB PIC Programmer.

Currently, parent report screening tools (e.g., M-CHAT, CSBS) are the only standardized screening options available to pediatricians for the early detection of autism. As demonstrated in our previous work (the 1-Year Well-Baby Check-Up Approach, Pierce et al., 2011), such screens have valuable strengths, but also weaknesses, including the impact of parent characteristics on how they rate their child's behavior and high false positive rates. Autism is a disorder that has its roots in abnormal early brain development, yet early identification rests largely in the hands of parent report measures, rather than in the domain of more objective, quantifiable behavior. To move beyond parent report as the only early screening choice, novel procedures for screening must be researched. During our last grant cycle we developed a novel eye-tracking test, the Geometric Preference Test for Autism (GeoPref Test). This simple one-minute test shows dynamic, colorful geometric moving patterns on half of a computer monitor and colorful active people on the other half. Of >440 toddlers tested using standard eye tracking technology, almost every toddler who fixated at high rates on the geometric patterns was ASD, and not typical or developmentally delayed. Thus, our laboratory experiments demonstrated exceptionally high, 99%, specificity of the GeoPref Test for detecting ASD. A low false positive rate is essential in a screening tool because false positives overload the system and create anxiety. Equally important in this heterogeneous disorder, the 1-min test identified 37% of all ASD toddlers. This is a larger percentage than any other early genetic, proteomic, neuroimaging or neurobehavioral screen, and it is fast, easy, and highly ASD specific.
Aim 1 will identify methods to integrate ASD specific test into clinical practice as a 2nd tier screen for babies who fail a routine 1st tier pencil and paper screen (i.e., the CSBS). Results will greatly improve the accuracy of early detection and speed referral of babies for diagnostic and treatment services. Using a portable eye tracker, 39 pediatricians will give the GeoPref Test in their office to toddlers who fail the CSBS who will in turn be referred to our Center for blinded diagnosis. This will be the first translation of an eye tracking finding on ASD into real-world clinical practice. In an effort to fully understand the clinical phenotype of ASD toddlers that "fail" the GeoPref Test, Aim 2 will use novel experimental tests, such as a test of exploration, as well as standardized tests such as the Mullen, to identify clinical profiles tha distinguish these toddlers from others with an ASD. Although the GeoPref Test identifies a large subgroup of 37% of all ASD toddlers, equally fast, and accurate tests are needed to identify the remaining ASD toddlers.
Aim 3 proposes to develop new eye tracking tests, specifically novel social orienting and motherese paradigms, to detect these toddlers. Random forest classification algorithms will identify eye gaze signatures that best identify subgroups of ASD toddlers. All toddlers will receive a final blinded diagnosis at 30-36 months.
In order to move beyond paper-and-pencil parent reports as the only option for early autism screening, novel techniques must be researched. Here, for the first time, this grant will translate an eye tracking test which was found to be highly accurate in detecting ASD - the GeoPref Test - out of the laboratory and into pediatric offices. Moreover, additional novel eye tracking tests will be developed and relationships between how a toddler performs on a given eye tracking test will be examined in relation to various clinical measures such as how a toddler explores their environment;understanding the clinical-eye tracking relationships is central to discovering the many unique subgroups that likely make up the overall ASD phenotype.
