[more ▼] BACKGROUND: This study aimed to document the outcome dimensions that physicians see as important in defining cure from depression. The study also aimed to analyse physicians' attitudes about depression and to find out whether they affect their prescribing practices and/or the outcome dimensions that they view as important in defining cure. METHODS: A 51-item questionnaire based on six validated scales was used to rate the importance of several depression outcome dimensions. Physicians' attitudes about depression were also assessed using the Depression Attitude Scale. Overall, 369 Belgian physicians (264 general practitioners [GPs]; 105 psychiatrists) participated in the DEsCRIBE survey. RESULTS: GPs and psychiatrists strongly agreed that functioning and depressive symptomatology were most important in defining cure; anxious and somatic symptomatology was least important. GPs and psychiatrists differed in their attitudes about depression (p <0.001). Logistic regression revealed that the attitudes of GPs - but not psychiatrists - were significantly associated with their rates of antidepressant prescription (p < 0.001) and that certain attitudes predicted which outcome dimensions were seen as important in defining cure. CONCLUSIONS: Belgian GPs and psychiatrists strongly agreed on which criteria were important in defining cure from depression but differed in their attitudes about depression. The outcome dimensions that were considered important in defining cure were influenced by physicians' attitudes - this was more pronounced in GPs than in psychiatrists.

[more ▼] ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) has been determined in many countries worldwide but never in Luxembourg. This research aimed to 1) establish the gender- and age-specific prevalence of MS and its components in the general adult population of Luxembourg, according to the most recent Joint Interim Statement (JIS) definition, by using both the high and low cut-off points to define abdominal obesity, and 2) compare and assess the degree of agreement with the Revised National Cholesterol Education Programme-Adult Treatment Panel III (R-ATPIII) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definitions. METHODS: A representative stratified random sample of 1349 European subjects, aged 18-69 years, participated to ORISCAV-LUX survey. Logistic regression and odds ratios (OR) were used to study MS prevalence with respect to gender and age. The Framingham risk score (FRS) to predict the 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) risk was calculated to compare the proportion of MS cases below or above 20%, according to both high and low waist circumference (WC) thresholds. Cohen's kappa coefficient (kappa) was utilized to measure the degree of agreement between MS definitions. RESULTS: The prevalence of the MS defined by the JIS was 28.0% and 24.7% when using the low (94/80) and the high (102/88) WC cut-off points, respectively. The prevalence was significantly higher in men than in women (OR = 2.6 and 2.3 for the low and high WC thresholds), as were all components of the MS except abdominal obesity measured by both thresholds. It also increased with age (OR values in age categories ranging from 2.7 to 28 when compared to the younger subjects for low WC and from 3.3 to 31 for the high WC cut-offs). The 10-year predicted risk of CHD by FRS did not depend on the threshold used. Globally, excellent agreement was observed between the three definitions of MS (kappa= 0.89), in particular between JIS and IDF (kappa = 0.93). Agreement was significantly higher in women than in men, and differed between age groups. CONCLUSION: Regardless of the definition used, the adult population of Luxembourg reveals a high MS prevalence. Our findings contribute to build evidence regarding the definitive construct of the MS, to help selecting the waist circumference thresholds for Europid populations, and to support the need to revise the guidelines for abdominal obesity levels.

[more ▼] Au niveau mondial, on observe depuis quelques décennies une augmentation de l'émergence ou de la réémergence de maladies animales dont la plupart sont zoonotiques. L'émergence récente de la fièvre catarrhale ovine en Belgique ne fait que confirmer ce phénomène. L'objectif du projet est de développer un modèle conceptuel de hiérarchisation des maladies émergentes en Région Wallonne ayant pour but de quantifier les pertes économiques directes et indirectes subies par les éleveurs et la société civile en cas d'émergence d'une maladie animale. La première étape du projet consiste à construire une liste de maladies émergentes ou potentiellement émergentes en recourant à une revue de la littérature de référence récente et à des réunions de consensus entre experts. La liste finalisée sera hiérarchisée sur base de différents critères tels que, par exemple, des critères socio-économiques ou zootechniques. Plusieurs maladies modèles, figurant à des rangs différents dans la liste, seront ensuite étudiées en profondeur. L'étude de ces maladies modèles nous permettra d'estimer les pertes socio-économiques résultant des maladies animales et des maladies humaines si la maladie possède un potentiel zoonotique. Cette estimation se fera grâce à différentes techniques usuelles d'analyse socio-économique et le résultat de cette estimation nous permettra de paramétrer l'échelle des pertes socio-économiques. Finalement, l'ensemble des résultats obtenus seront synthétisés et, en tenant compte de la typologie de chaque maladie (basée sur divers éléments quantitatifs), une estimation des pertes socio-économiques de chaque maladie listée pourra être établie.

[more ▼] BACKGROUND: The Belgian External Quality Assessment Scheme for Flow Cytometry evaluates the long-term analytical performance of participating laboratories by calculating a regression line between the target and reported values of each parameter for each laboratory during the past 3 years. This study aims to develop a method to find laboratories with aberrant variability or bias using robust techniques and to obtain robust estimates of the variability. METHODS: A method is proposed to find outliers with respect to the individual regression line, followed by a step to find regression lines with excessive variability and finally a step to find regression lines with high bias. RESULTS: The model was applied to the results obtained by 52 laboratories for CD4%. From the 1340 data points, 35 were determined to be regression outliers. The second step revealed one regression line with excessive variability; the third step detected three regression lines with exceeding bias. CONCLUSIONS: The methodology allows assessment of the long-term performance of laboratories, taking into account samples with different target values. Outliers in the first step indicate accidental mistakes, outliers in the second and third step point to high analytical variability or bias.

[more ▼] BACKGROUND: The ORISCAV-LUX study is the first baseline survey of an on-going cardiovascular health monitoring programme in Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. The main objectives of the present manuscript were 1) to describe the study design and conduct, and 2) to present the salient outcomes of the study, in particular the prevalence of the potentially modifiable and treatable cardiovascular disease risk factors in the adult population residing in Luxembourg. METHOD: ORISCAV-LUX is a cross-sectional study based on a random sample of 4496 subjects, stratified by gender, age categories and district, drawn from the national insurance registry of 18-69 years aged Luxembourg residents, assuming a response rate of 30% and a proportion of 5% of institutionalized subjects in each stratum. The cardiovascular health status was assessed by means of a self-administered questionnaire, clinical and anthropometric measures, as well as by blood, urine and hair examinations. The potentially modifiable and treatable risk factors studied included smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Both univariate and multivariate statistical analyses used weighted methods to account for the stratified sampling scheme. RESULTS: A total of 1432 subjects took part in the survey, yielding a participation rate of 32.2%. This figure is higher than the minimal sample size of 1285 subjects as estimated by power calculation. The most predominant cardiovascular risk factors were dyslipidemia (69.9%), hypertension (34.5%), smoking (22.3%), and obesity (20.9%), while diabetes amounted 4.4%. All prevalence rates increased with age (except smoking) with marked gender differences (except diabetes). There was a significant difference in the prevalence of hypertension and of lipid disorders by geographic region of birth. The proportion of subjects cumulating two or more cardiovascular risk factors increased remarkably with age and was more predominant in men than in women (P<0.0001). Only 14.7% of men and 23.1% of women were free of any cardiovascular risk factor. High prevalence of non-treated CVRF, notably for hypertension and dyslipidemia, were observed in the study population. CONCLUSION: The population-based ORISCAV-LUX survey revealed a high prevalence of potentially modifiable and treatable cardiovascular risk factors among apparently healthy subjects; significant gender and age-specific differences were seen not only for single but also for combined risk factors. From a public health perspective, these preliminary findings stress the urgent need for early routine health examinations, preventive interventions and lifestyle behavioural changes, even in young asymptomatic adults, to decrease cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Luxembourg.

[more ▼] BACKGROUND: Poor response is a major concern in public health surveys. In a population-based ORISCAV-LUX study carried out in Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg to assess the cardiovascular risk factors, the non-response rate was not negligible. The aims of the present work were: 1) to investigate the representativeness of study sample to the general population, and 2) to compare the known demographic and cardiovascular health-related profiles of participants and non-participants. METHODS: For sample representativeness, the participants were compared to the source population according to stratification criteria (age, sex and district of residence). Based on complementary information from the "medical administrative database", further analysis was carried out to assess whether the health status affected the response rate. Several demographic and morbidity indicators were used in the univariate comparison between participants and non-participants. RESULTS: Among the 4452 potentially eligible subjects contacted for the study, there were finally 1432 (32.2%) participants. Compared to the source population, no differences were found for gender and district distribution. By contrast, the youngest age group was under-represented while adults and elderly were over-represented in the sample, for both genders. Globally, the investigated clinical profile of the non-participants was similar to that of participants. Hospital admission and cardiovascular health-related medical measures were comparable in both groups even after controlling for age. The participation rate was lower in Portuguese residents as compared to Luxembourgish (OR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.48-0.69). It was also significantly associated with the professional status (P < 0.0001). Subjects from the working class were less receptive to the study than those from other professional categories. CONCLUSION: The 32.2% participation rate obtained in the ORISCAV-LUX survey represents the realistic achievable rate for this type of multiple-stage, nationwide, population-based surveys. It corresponds to the expected rate upon which the sample size was calculated. Given the absence of discriminating health profiles between participants and non-participants, it can be concluded that the response rate does not invalidate the results and allows generalizing the findings for the population.

[more ▼] The coefficient of variation CV (%) is widely used to measure the relative variation of a random variable to its mean or to assess and compare the performance of analytical techniques/equipments. A review is made of the existing multivariate extensions of the univariate CV where, instead of a random variable, a random vector is considered, and a novel definition is proposed. The multivariate CV obtained only requires the calculation of the mean vector, the covariance matrix and simple quadratic forms. No matrix inversion is needed which makes the new approach equally attractive inhigh dimensional as in very small sample size problems. As an illustration, the method is applied to electrophoresis data from external quality assessment in laboratory medicine, to phenotypic characteristics of pocket gophers and to a microarray data set.

[more ▼] External Quality Assessment (EQA) schemes are national or transnational programmes designed to control the analytical performance of clinical laboratories and to maintain inter-laboratory variability within acceptable limits. In such EQA programmes, participants are usually grouped by the type of assay technique/equipment they use. The coefficient of variation (CV) is a simple tool for comparing the inter-laboratory reproducibility of such techniques: the lower the CV, the better the analytical performance. Serum protein electrophoresis, a laboratory test profile consisting of five fractions (albumin, α1, α2, β and γ globulins) summing up to 100% of total proteins, can also be assayed in different ways depending on the media or the analytical principle. We propose a multivariate coefficient of variation for comparing the performance of electrophoretic techniques in EQA, thus extending the univariate CV concept. First, the compositional nature of electrophoretic data requires a one-to-one transformation from the 5-dimensional to the 4-dimensional space. Next, robust estimations of the mean and the covariance matrix are needed to avoid the effect of outliers. The new approach is illustrated on electrophoretic datasets from the French and Belgian national EQA programmes.

[more ▼] The pharmacokinetic behaviour of enrofloxacin (ENRO) in plasma and nasal secretions of healthy pigs was investigated, after a single-dose intramuscular administration of 2.5 mg/kg body weight of the drug. Blood samples and nasal secretions were collected at predetermined times after drug administration. Concentrations of ENRO and its active metabolite ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) were determined in plasma and nasal secretions by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). CIPRO was not detected probably because we investigated young weaned pigs. The data collected in 12 pigs for ENRO were subjected to noncompartmental analysis. In plasma, the maximum concentration of drug (C-max), the time at which this maximum concentration of drug (T-max) was reached, the elimination half-life (t(beta)(1/2)) and the area under the concentration vs. time curve (AUC) were, respectively, 694.7 ng/mL, 1.0 h, 9.3 h and 8903.2 ng h/mL. In nasal secretions, Cmax, Tmax, t(beta)(1/2) and AUC were, respectively, 871.4 ng/mL, 2.0 h, 12.5 h and 11 198.5 ng.h/mL. In a second experiment conducted in 10 piglets, the relationship between concentrations of ENRO measured in the plasma and the nasal secretions has been determined following single-dose intramuscular administration of 2.5, 10 or 20 mg/kg body weight of the drug. It has been demonstrated that, among several variables, i.e., (1) the dose administered, (2) the time between intramuscular injection and blood sampling, (3) the age, (4) the sex, (5) the animal body weight and (6) the plasma concentration of the drug, only the latter influenced significantly the ENRO concentration in nasal secretions. Practically, using a generalized linear mixed model, ENRO concentrations in the nasal secretions (mu g/mL) can be predicted taking into account the ENRO concentrations in plasma (mu g/mL), according to the following equation: ENROnasal secretion 1.94 ENROplasma - 0.24.

New Goods
If you've visited my website recently....you'll have noticed something different on my Vintage Goods page.....if you'd like to see...click here.
I've decided to sell my vintage goods on etsy only...with the main reason being it's hard to keep the website's vintage page stocked. I received a not so nice email some time ago saying basically that....why is everything always sold. Now....I know the person was right in what they said...I just didn't think it was nice the way they said it. So to fix the problem, I thought etsy would work perfectly...because what you see is available.
My website is still open and I'm keeping it stocked with pillows, paper goods, farmhouse goods and such....but if your looking for vintage....you can visit my etsy.
Okay....so if you'd like to see some new pillows and bread bags...you can visit here....and if you'd like to see what's new in Vintage....visit here.
Have a wonderful weekend!

I'm writing this in the middle of December, 2016. At this time of year it's only natural to look at the calendar and take stock of the previous 12 months and begin making plans for the upcoming year.
But art is such a subjective thing. How does an artist set goals, anyway?
If you want to lose weight, it's good to determine how much weight you want to lose and when you want to have lost it. Or if you want to run a marathon, you set a plan for achieving a certain running pace by a particular date. In other words, make it smart.
What are SMART goals?
As with any goal-setting it helps to make it S.M.A.R.T.:
What that boils down to is setting goals that you can be sure you achieve, by a particular date, in a way that pushes your limits without overdoing it.
Flimsy goals
Some goals just aren't written very well. Sure, it's better than no goals at all, or a vague sense of doing "better", but there's no real way to know you've achieved it.
Get better at a particular technique. I'd argue that this is a poor goal since "better" isn't measurable. But you can enroll in a class that might help you improve. Maybe go outside your comfort zone and learn an art form that is not your normal mode of working. Working with pottery might spark new ideas for fashion design.
Sell more art. This isn't really a measurable goal. What does "more" mean, anyway? You can learn how to start selling art online, for example. (I have no affiliation with Cory, by the way.)
Set concrete goals
Here are some examples, plus questions you can ask yourself to figure out how to get there.
Produce XX pieces this year. What does this look like broken down into quarterly and/or monthly quotas? Personally, I can't expect myself to go-go-go constantly every single day in the studio because I have a day job and a family. What do you do when the creative well runs dry? Schedule time to recharge with artist dates or something like that.
Get in a particular show. What are the requirements and deadlines? If it is too late to apply to the 2017 show, how can I get ready for 2018?
Make $X from art in the upcoming year. Be realistic, but stretch yourself. How do you get your work in front of a particular audience? How do you market/advertise your work? Also, take into consideration your sales cycle. Some people make most of their yearly income right before Christmas.
Get X followers on a particular social media platform, or X subscribers to my newsletter. While this is specific and measurable, make sure it has a good return on investment and that you're spending time on the right platform to convert into more sales, leads, signups, whatever it is you're driving people to.
Put your goals in front of you
Michael Hyatt is a fan of reviewing his goals every day. It doesn't have to be something drawn-out, just a two minute glance at them and a quick evaluation if he is doing something to "move the needle forward" on that goal. Put your goals somewhere that you'll see them. It might be a list on your computer, or taped to your mirror, or on a mood board in your studio. Just put it where you'll notice it. Burn it into your mind each day.
I know one artist who created a mood board of all these paintings that inspired her. They were the type of things she wanted to create, herself. By focusing her energy on creating those things, she eventually began to attract commissions to make exactly those type of paintings.
What are your goals?
Personally, I'm keeping my goals private. But feel free to share your own artist goals for the upcoming year. Or, maybe it's best to share such things only with a select few who will cheer you on and keep you accountable.
The real question is, do you have art goals for the coming year? Share in the comments!

Fall Mantel ~ Vintage Farmhouse Style
Design ideas and inspirations
Thursday, September 5, 2013
I've got a moderate collection of ironstone pieces that I've found at yard sales, thrift stores and rummage sales. The platter above was found at the local Goodwill store, and the pitcher came from a yard sale. Each was less than $5. That's my kind of price.
Here you can see the full view of the hearth and mantel. The lighting in here is challenging, so it's hard to get a good photo.
I've had everything in this photo for a while now, except the chalk board. I made it last week from a yard sale frame and some chalkboard paint. I also painted the frame in a nice turquoise shade. It's supposed to be for sale in my retail space. I might just keep it. :)
The scales are from an estate sale, and the mirror was found at a flea market many years ago. The faux pumpkins are "borrowed" from my retail space. I really should return them so I can sell them. Really, I should.
What is it about metal letters that draw me to them? Maybe it's my magnetic personality or something, but I can hardly resist them. :) I found this one at Hobby Lobby a couple of months ago. The pear came from HomeGoods. I just love pairing turquoise and orange. I actually did a post on using these colors together. You can see it here.
Chippy old iron gate, lavender, and a vintage copper basin thingy. What's not to love here?
Another final view of the whole mantel. What do you think? Do you prefer the vintage farmhouse version or the traditional version?
But wait, that's not all! I've got one more style that I tried out on the mantel. It's really different, and really playful, but tons of fun! Watch for the reveal in the next day or so. I think you're going to enjoy it. I know I did.
Update: Go HERE to see the third fall version of this mantel.
Interested in seeing some or our Fall decor from years past? Go here to see it!
Thanks for stopping by!

Peacock, I've spent quite a bit of time in the Rocky Fork area recently but do not recognize this bridge. It reminds me of the bridge over Rock Creek though. If I'm missing an area of Rocky Fork I'd be excited to learn about it!

What makes a ship fly?
At the heart of each plan, each product, each idea, each vision, lies a story.
You'll recognize it in that single moment of excitement when you suddenly realize what the impact of your plan could be. Where the project could end up. What value this product could provide. How the new strategy could surprisingly beat the competition.
Everybody who has tried knows how hard it is to get that story into the hearts and minds of people in your team and your organization and later on the outside world.
But it is so indispensable. Because a story brings unity. It shows 'where we're heading' and it tells 'what we're doing'.
Like you develop your plans from idea to execution, we develop the story that helps you build towards your goal.
organizations don't
Finding a story, crafting it into it's perfect form and guiding it along it's growth path towards the goal, is a task that consists of several disciplines.
You might compare our work to internal communications, maybe to marketing. It has a sense of organizational development, with a light touch of strategic consulting. It definitely seems to be a creative trade, with a great taste for beautiful design and style.
We offer a full spectrum of disciplines from a network closely built around us. That way, we are adaptable to your needs. Small as a single advisor on one day, scaled to a multi-discipline office the next.
that drive action
Let's start small, give us a try!
There is no need to rush into things. Just like you, we like to start small.
Our Discovery workshop can be used to find out if we can mean anything for your organisation. In the Discovery workshop we inspire your team with usable insights from the storytelling realms. Meanwhile, the workshop produces various insights in the story you want to investigate with us.
After this workshop, your team has learned about storytelling and we can tell you exactly what we can do for you. No strings attached! Although we should warn you for addictive effects..!
Next to the in house Discovery workshops, we also like to spread our knowledge on story as much as we can. Want to know more about our workshops and lectures? Get in touch!
runs a thin line
Can you match our style?
ROTYS was born from a network of performing marketing creatives. Our approach is fast paced and practical. We'll do a day workshop rather than a week of interviews and we research through the creation of media that you can put to work right away.
We are used to work with business leaders, bridging all disciplines to the strategic agenda. Often we team up with internal professionals, taking the lead or following one however it works best. Do know, we will speak our minds everywhere.
And we hope so will you.

Can't locate printer setup utility on install diskI am trying to re-install the printer setup utility with the pacifist software, but I am unable to find this specific file within the OS X installation disk (Power Mac G5, disk 1).
Does anyone know where this file is located within the install disk?
I've looked without success in applications / utilities, library, and system / package.
Is it possible that the printer setup utility file is listed under another name?
Thanks for any tips.

KOCHI: In an effort at protecting and preserving them, 28 Kavus (sacred Groves) in Kerala would be brought under a Centrally Sponsored scheme.
Rapid urbanisation and a steadily growing population have placed these kavus, which are oasis of biodiversity, under tremendous pressure. Apart from bio diversity, the kavus provide habitat to animals and birds, including snakes.
Kerala Forest Minister, Binoy Vishwam, will inaugurate the state level launch of the scheme-- Intensification of Forest Management-Protection and Conservation of Sacred Groves on Apr 23 at Iringole Kavu at Perumbavoor in Ernakulam, Assistant Conservator of Forests, Sujit R, told reporters here
During the first year, the 28 kavus belonging to Devaswoms and Trusts would be protected. Another set of kavus would be selected for protection in the coming two years, he said.

The Mets got Johan Santana, the new season is about to start and the Mets are hoping to win the World Series. The thing is, I have not forgotten about last year and I have not let Willie Randolph off the hook. Just because the Mets have a better team than last year I still hate Randolph. I still believe he is the most at fault for the disappointing finale of last season. I wanted him to have been fired after last season but he was not. So as the season starts do not let Willie off the hook, remember how much it hurt last year and if Willie does not get the team to play well… bye bye.

Bye bye is right.
Good bye to this site as one of the feeds I've got on my website.

I first met Derek Walcott, who died on March 20, in the late 1960s when we both worked as reporters at the Trinidad Guardian and the Trinidad Evening News in my native Trinidad.

Pan lover grows T&T culture in Houston
Leon F Simeon is a Trinidad-born graphic designer, teacher, digital artist and photographer with an affinity for pan. Residing in America for the past 34 years, he returned home on July 14 to see his 94-year-old mother, and to stage an exhibition of his works in Port-of-Spain. Since migrating this is only his third visit to his homeland.
Though born in Arima, Simeon grew in "deep South" from the age of two.
"I am a true South and Benedict's boy. I went to school with guys like Warren Archibald, Bede Wells and Jan Steadman. Those were the days of coach Wooter and Dom Basil Matthews. Although I can't play the instrument, I have been very much a pan enthusiast. I've always liked the instrument and my favourite steelband was Fonclaire," said Simeon.
Prior to migrating he worked with Neal & Massy in Port-of-Spain and, in 1979, got an art scholarship to attend Ontario College of Art in Toronto, Canada. He eventually travelled South, ending up in Detroit but not staying there too long. "I landed in Detroit but moved on to Houston, Texas, after four days as there was warmer," said Simeon.
"I began teaching art at the Art Institute of Houston, the largest art school in America. I taught there for 21 years and also completed my master's degree in 2005. After completing my master's at Lamar University, I worked at Westwood College of Technology for five years.
"I retired but that didn't last very long as I was called back to work, going to teach at elementary school. I am currently at the special school Pro-Vision Academy. It's a school for special children and it's predominantly black. This has been quite an adjustment, coming from university and teaching at the college level.
"Most of the challenges are because of the students' learning disabilities and behavioural problems. Most of these kids are from the Houston Independent School District (HISD), the very poor and dispossessed.
"These kids are the rejects that the system has discarded. They are stubborn when it comes to education as their focus is on something else, on hip hop and gang culture. Being a foreigner with an alien accent made the job even more challenging.
"When I went to the academy the school had no art or photography programmes. I actually went there to teach business information management (computers), but the administration invited me to start new programmes and today every student has their own personal laptop and camera."
So, why Simeon's preoccupation with pan?
"When I was doing my thesis at Lamar I chose pan. But, the professors were bemused and asked 'what is pan?' At first they rejected my suggestion saying that they didn't know what pan was and would be unable to adjudicate on such a topic. I then did my thesis on 'printing', from Gutenburg to the digital era. I did nine pieces for my thesis. I showed one of the professors the history and technology behind the pan and they accepted them as photographic pieces but not as thesis material.
"I coined the phrase 'Panology'. Panology I call 'simeonistic expressionism', my personal artistic concept. I am the first person to do this and it is how I express our national instrument. I am thinking of writing a book which I intend titling The Revolutionary Birth and Technological Growth of the Pan."
Admitting to having a penchant to Witco Desperadoes, Simeon revealed that his wife, Kathleen, who played pan here, is an in-law of the late Rudolph Charles. He said: "I have always kept in touch with my roots while in the States. I am a member of When Steel Talks and my work is displayed on its Web site."
Simeon was the president of Republic of T&T Association of Texas and served for many years as its PRO. Every year the association has a gala and awards scholarships to deserving students. "Each year we invite a prominent T&T artiste to be our guest performer and we've had Black Stalin, Chalkdust, Denyse Plummer, Singing Francine and Renegades," revealed Simeon.
He added: "T&T culture has grown tremendously in Houston. We now have our own Carnival, complete with J'Ouvert. Lots of Trinidadian artistes perform and teach up there. There is also the San Jacinto College where pan is being taught. While the pan teachers are Trinidadians, 90 per cent of its musicians are white Americans."
Simeon will mount his Panology exhibition at the Nalis Building, on Abercromby Street, Port-of-Spain on July 28. The exhibition, which runs until July 31, has the blessings of Pan Trinbago and a number of iconic steelband musicians and technicians are expected to attend.

Dow Jones Futures and the technical ping pong game
Dow Jones has fluctuated strongly during the previous despite being trapped within a sideways range during the previous period.
The recently drawn candlesticks reflect some kind of technical hesitation between the resistance line connected the movements from all-time high at 18270.00 and the support line set from 15775.00 as seen on the provided daily graph.
Meanwhile, technical indicators continued to give off mixed trading signals, while SMA50 traded in the middle area between support and resistance, reflecting the trendless actions.
Short-term traders should be patient and wait until Dow Jones succeeds in breaching one of these lines to enter the market.
A sustained breakout above 18100.00 is a positive indication; on the contrary, blasting through 17710.00-17705.00 may bring panic sell-off actions.

New York African Burial Ground Archaeology Final Report, Volume 1. Chapter 4. Relative Dating
Part of the Archaeology of African Burial Ground National Monument, New York project
Author(s): Jean Howson ; Warren R. Perry ; Augustin F. C. Holl ; Leonard G. Bianchi
Year: 2006
This chapter describes the rationale and methodology for dividing the burial population into temporal groupings. It is emphasized that the chronological sequence developed here is a relative one, the dates assigned to each grouping approximate. Burials are assigned to broad temporal groups on the basis of 1) location and stratigraphy relative to non-burial features at the site; 2) artifacts found in direct association with the deceased or in the grave fill; 3) coffin type; and 4) stratigraphic relationships to other burials. In many cases, the several parameters support each other, strengthening the assignments, while in other instances evidence is ambiguous.

Alex McLeish quit Birmingham because he was not consulted properly over transfers and after his chief scout was sacked, according to the League Managers' Association.
LMA chief executive Richard Bevan said there had been "aggressive and seriously undermining communications" that had made McLeish's position untenable.
Birmingham acting chairman Peter Pannu has said he will seek compensation if McLeish moves to Aston Villa.
Bevan told Press Association Sport: "Alex decided he had to resign as there had been serious issues for some time between him and the board at Birmingham.
"The LMA recognise it is often very difficult for clubs and chairmen, especially with the financial pressures and 24/7 media coverage. However, it is very disappointing that some clubs don't follow normal principles of employment law - which can undermine the game, the club and even the community the club is based in.
"Mr Pannu, a senior member of the board, has put into the public domain confidential information contained in Alex's contract. This is without doubt a breach of confidence.
"It is disappointing that Alex appears to have been criticised for sending his formal resignation letter by e-mail, particularly given that one of the issues Alex resigned over was Mr Pannu's sacking of Alex's chief scout, who learned that he was to be dismissed when he was copied in on an e-mail from Mr Pannu to one of the club's officials.
"There were other issues as well, including not being properly consulted on player transfers, and making a number of aggressive and seriously undermining communications, which ultimately made his position untenable."
Paul Montgomery was sacked as Birmingham's chief scout last month after just over two years in the job.
Pannu today said McLeish can leave the club "with his blessing", telling Sky Sports: "I have nothing against Alex McLeish. If he moves to another place, he will go with my blessing. But it will be done properly as per the contract."

copper sheeting for shielding applications
hi all,
late last night i was tinkering with my SACD player and was thinking of some tweaks, e.g. some copper foil tape on the ICs to reduce stray lead inductance and copper sheilding here and there. i had originally thought of using materials like Ti-shield and 3M copper foil tape, but they are fairly expensive and i would have to order them from Percy Audio/Digikey respectively. so, i thought about using household aluminum foil, but it is not as conductive as copper and the lack of solderability is a problem. so i did a search on google for copper sheeting, and through some very helpful home gardening forums (they like to use metals for decorative trinkets) i came across a couple sources for copper sheeting: http://www.misterart.com/store/view....3&group_id=794 http://www.wildwooddesigns.com/store...p?number=96947 http://www.rjleahy.com/Store/coil/index.html apparently this stuff is fairly common in art supply stores, so i'm going to head over to my local store to see if they have it today. i'm not sure if it's pure copper or if the conductivity/solderability is good but it should be decent at least. the last link is most useful as you can get the sheeting in various gauges, as thick as 18ga.... would be very useful for any DIY project (copper-shielded chassis/circuit modules anyone?). i will try the stuff out and let you guys know how it is. cheers, dorkus |

good idea....I went to a local scrap metal guy and got some 1"x.375" copper flat bar for 10 bucks.....I ended up with about 4 feet of it in several peices

looks good, did you use some sort of cleaner for the contact area before connecting? i need to get me some of that acid-based copper cleaner stuff...

I will disassemble those bars and clean them with scotch brite and spray them with a clear urethane when I have all the connections on them....I have a 3 inch long peice tapped out for my central ground close by hooked up with 8 ga wire

good thinking, i was using some of the TechSpray stuff myself to prevent tarnishing. u may still want to use a chemical-based cleaner in addition to scotchbrite, i also highly recommend a contact enhancer such as Caig Pro-Gold. applying a little squirt to the contact area before connection can go a long way to improving long-term conductivity... i find it works very well.

I thought of using .25" aluminum scraps from my chassis. The terminal bosses on computer type caps all seem to be aluminum, so using an aluminum bus bar would reduce the possibility of corrosion in that junction. I know it would move the problem to the terminals connected to it, but those are more visible and serviceable. What are your thoughts guys?

I've use 1/4" aluminum buss bars on
the caps, works too. Then the screwdriver fell and shorted the busses -- kaboom... hehe a chuck of aluminum melted off... it was a 200kuf bank.. sparks = fun stuff |

aluminum connections
just a side bar to the conversation:
at one time, when the construction industry was feeling "economical" houses were wired with Aluminum power cable -- seems however that Aluminum and Copper have different thermal expansion coefficients and the joints -- at switch boxes and outlets -- would come loose after only a few years. This lead to a number of fires! They now sell outlets and switches labeled "AL-CO" for this application. Aluminum is OK for making that 8 element log-periodic array, but leave it out of the wiring. |

This is one of my favourite photos we took – a moment of serenity when a very sleepy sea turtle came to play with us at Lady Elliot.
Iceland really is a remarkable and incomparable place that is easily enough to get to but hard enough to forget. A world in its own that people often overlook but once you see its natural beauty you'll wonder why you didn't come here sooner.
A magnificent sight that cannot be captured or described but instead must be be experienced and enjoyed at least once in your lifetime, no matter the cost.
Iceland is such a surreal place and every landscape we saw left me feeling incredibly inspired.
This is the perfect way to spend your first afternoon in Iceland as you ease yourself into the sights and heritage here.

Goat Cheese Crostini - Giada
Recipe by newspapergal
I first made this for a Valentine's dinner with DH. We really loved it. I used a skinny whole-wheat baguette, so the slices were small two- or three-bite ones. and I left out the sliced chives. Yumm. from "Everyday Italian" on Food Network.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 baguette
- 44.37 ml olive oil
- 226.79 g soft fresh goat cheese
- 113.39 g cream cheese
- 9.85 ml finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 9.85 ml finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 9.85 ml finely grated lemon peel
- salt
- pepper
- 118.29 ml pitted sicilian green olives or 118.29 ml kalamata olive, finely chopped
- 29.58 ml thinly sliced chives
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy large baking sheets. Brush them with olive oil.
- Bake until the crostini are pale golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
- Blend the goat cheese and cream cheese in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
- Add the parsley, thyme, and lemon peel.
- Using the on/off button, pulse just to blend.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste. (I use kosher salt & fresh-ground pepper).
- Spread the cheese mixture over the crostini.
- Sprinkle with the olives, chives, and more pepper. Arrange the toasts on a platter and serve.
- Do-Ahead Tip: The crostini and cheese mixture can each be prepared 2 days ahead. Store the crostini in an airtight container at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate the cheese mixture. Let the cheese mixture stand at room temperature for 1 hour to soften slightly before spreading over the crostini.

My story about hiking around the Eiger during September's trip to Switzerland headlined the travel section in Sunday's Denver Post . A nice surprise for me: They ran a nearly full-page version of my photo from our hike to the Bäregg Hut.
It's always a delight when one of my photos is published, because I don't consider myself a professional photographer. But even if I never sold a photo, I'd still carry a camera whenever I traveled, and especially when I was working. For a journalist—or any traveler who wants to remember as much as possible—a small digital camera is invaluable. I use it to capture the text on signs and documents, saving me the trouble of taking notes; I refer to my photos when writing to recall details that otherwise might be forgotten; I'll even shoot a short video so I can see and hear the person whose words are recorded in my notebook. And every now and then, I sell a photo too.

Great post once again, and a great article in the Denver Post. I know the area around the Eiger very well as we stay in Wengen every Summer + Winter seasons. I can almost smell the rosti after reading that article.

Very nice story. I am reading a book right now called" Eiger Dreams" by Krakauer so your article is timely. Great photo also. Aren't digital cameras great!

iOS (Swift, Objective C), Android (Java), Unity, and more. Our code is held to the highest of standards so that your mobile app is guaranteed to work great.
All software should be tested – even ours. Bugs don't stand a chance against our experienced team of QA analysts.
Need a hand? Our developers love to work with established teams to help create, improve, update, or fix mobile apps.
It wouldn't be fair to keep all of this knowledge to ourselves. Through Alt-U we love training people in the art of mobile app development.
Efficiency is an important part of the development process. Don't waste time retesting over and over – let us do it programmatically.
