Another Spring!
But things are wrapping up and the garden is waking up and I'm so excited. I love spring! And this year spring has come so early! I estimate that the garden is about a month ahead of schedule. Of course, crazy Calgary... it was snowing last week, but yesterday we had record breaking heat! It was 26! And we have our first blooms! And the rhubarb is up! I'm very excited!
Of course, the garden is only just waking up. But the kids are having a blast. It's been so warm I am tempted to treat myself and get a few annuals to brighten things up. Even if it gets cold again it'll be worth it. I'll only get cold tolerant ones like pansies or snapdragons. I'll let you know how it goes.
Time for the compost! And I have a project going on in the front yard...more in the next post (I hope).

Category: Enlightenment
Enlightenment refers to the "full comprehension of a situation". It is commonly used to denote the Age of Enlightenment, but is also used in Western cultures in a religious context. It translates several Buddhist terms and concepts, most notably bodhi, kensho and satori. Related terms from Asian religions are moksha (liberation) in Hinduism, Kevala Jnana in Jainism, and ushta in Zoroastrianism.
In Christianity, the word "enlightenment" is rarely used, except to refer to the Age of Enlightenment and its influence on Christianity. Roughly equivalent terms in Christianity may be illumination, kenosis, metanoia, revelation, salvation and conversion.
Perennialists and Universalists view enlightenment and mysticism as equivalent terms for religious or spiritual insight.
Main article: Enlightenment in Buddhism
The English term "enlightenment" has commonly been used to translate several Sanskrit, Pali, Chinese and Japanese terms and concepts, especially bodhi, prajna, kensho, satori and buddhahood.
Bodhi is a Theravada term. It literally means "awakening" and "understanding". Someone who is awakened has gained insight into the workings of the mind which keeps us imprisoned in craving, suffering and rebirth and has also gained insight into the way that leads to nirvana, the liberation of oneself from this imprisonment.
Prajna is a Mahayana term. It refers to insight into our true nature, which according to Madhyamaka is empty of a personal essence in the stream of experience. But it also refers to the Tathāgata-garbha or Buddha-nature, the essential basic-consciousness beyond the stream of experience.
In Zen, kensho means "seeing into one's true nature". Satori is often used interchangeably with kensho, but refers to the experience of kensho.
Buddhahood is the attainment of full awakening and becoming a Buddha. According to the Tibetan Thubten Yeshe, enlightenment
[means] full awakening; buddhahood. The ultimate goal of Buddhist practice, attained when all limitations have been removed from the mind and one's positive potential has been completely and perfectly realized. It is a state characterized by infinite compassion, wisdom and skill.

The O RLY owl is back!
Some of our MyDepressionConnections members have kindly told me about someone who is using the private message system we have here to promote a scam. Thank you for telling me about this. I too, have received such an email with the famous Nigerian scam from someone named Monica.
If you are not familiar with the Nigerian scam please click on the link and a site called Snopes will explain it. I am truly amazed that people will still try to pull this kind of stunt and here of all places. We may suffer from depression but we are not stupid.
If anyone tries to scam, spam, or solicit money from you on any of the Health Central sites please let us know. Nobody is supposed to be asking you for money...period.
Likewise don't be lured into going to a different site to donate money or give your personal information. Beware of people on the sites who give links to purchase services, coaching, therapy, or whatever else they are selling as a way of self promotion.
The people who are engaging in this kind of thing....SHAME ON YOU!
You all know how I feel about spam and scams. Here is an article I wrote for this site about How to Detect Spam, Scams, and Internet Lies. It is a particularly heinous individual who tries to take advantage of people on health sites who are just trying to get some information or support.
There is a hilarious book out there called Delete this at Your Peril by author, Bob Servant, where he basically serves it back to the spammers and scammers. Servant details his email exchanges with spammers where he baits them into his own grand schemes and basically messes with them. Very funny to read but don't try this at home. Eliminate any contact with spammers and scammers and always protect your private information.
Be careful out there. I try my best to make your experience here a good one. Trust is so important in any community. I want you to feel like you can come here and get the support you need without being accosted by a spammer.
- Don't give out your personal information such as your private email address, phone number, address, etc. to people on sites. Be choosy and particular about who you choose to correspond with.
- Don't be lured to other sites to donate money or provide personal information.
- If you suspect someone is trying to take advantage of you in any way on the sites, please let someone know. Thank you to the members who tell me about any suspicious emails or harrassment.
Let's keep our community safe and a good experience for all. Thank you!
- Don't give out your personal information such as your private email address, phone number, address, etc. to people on sites. Be choosy and particular about who you choose to correspond with.

Click Here to see fitting information for the Headlamp Converters
Halfords Headlamp Beam Adaptors & Magnetic GB Plate is rated out of 5 by 32.Rated 4 out of 5 by Namajdma from Good for the money As I've used the Headlamp beam adaptor about 10x already I can say it's ok. Never had any problem with it, only the removing procedure is hard. I've washed the car about 2-3x when the adaptors were on, never had any problem. I've never used the GB plate so I have no info about it. IDate published: 2016-08-01Rated 1 out of 5 by flashedinfrance from Not fit for purpose. The GB badge was fine. The beam adaptors must have came off in the rain, having been fitted properly at a MOT station. Spent a 500 mile journey through the night being flashed at by cars going in the other direction, thinking they had been fitted incorrectly only to find when I got there they had come off just leaving a sticky mess on the headlights. Utter rubbish!Date published: 2015-10-06Rated 1 out of 5 by Disgruntled07 from Beam deflectors Applied as instructed but one came off after a couple of wet days rendering the other one useless. Not fit for purpose and expensive.Date published: 2015-09-30Rated 4 out of 5 by Midders59 from Does the job What more is there to say? The GB sticker is reusable being magnetic and fine. I did find the instructions for the stickers a little difficult but probably clearer on other makes of car.Date published: 2015-08-24Rated 3 out of 5 by StottiAJ from Halfords Head Beam & GB Stickers Magnetic GB Plate would not stick on my car as it is Aluminium!!Date published: 2015-08-17Rated 4 out of 5 by cherry203 from easy to use on a recent trip to France found better just to buy the missing bits instead od spending £35 for a whole kit when we got to the crossing.Date published: 2015-07-09Rated 2 out of 5 by AndiM66 from Be aware of magnetic plate on modern cars, its no bargain I have a Range Rover and was driving to Geneva but didn't want to have stickers on the back of the car. When I got to Dover I put the light covers on which were easy once you worked out which section of the instructions applied to you. Then came putting the GB plate on and behold it wouldn't stick. You can imagine my annoyance by buying the two units and thinking it was a bargain to then have to get a stick on GB sticker.Date published: 2015-04-29Rated 4 out of 5 by MaseratiMad from Cheaper than on the boat! Does what it says on the packet, the glue sticks well and is easily removed if you leave your headlights on for 10 minutes before removal. Instructions are good but you feel like you're reading a broadsheet on the tube until you find the right bit for you then you can fold it down again.Date published: 2015-03-01

Sunshine, endless olive groves, healing salt water, and relaxation are the words that sum up this lifestyle. The way of life in this region encompasses a back-to-the-basics approach with ease and charm. When was the last time you picked oranges directly off the tree and juiced them for breakfast or harvested an olive tree? Many people in this region still walk to the grocery store, gather their own firewood, grow their own kale, and collect eggs from their own organic chickens. These people are the original pioneers who inspired the Farm To Table movement, without even realizing it.
Did you know that the chilly winter air can deplete your skin of moisture resulting in a dull, even dry appearance? Every year right around this time I always notice that my skin tends to get drier and taking more oils is a must!
2016 has been a crazy year of transition, relocation, rejuvenation, and rediscovery for me, which has been an amazing experience, but has left little room for a consistent routine. Running out of the moisturizer I have used for decades in a foreign country or trying to keep a eating plan when different fruits and veggies are in season are just some of the things I've adapted to this year.
What I have learned from this experience is that nature always has a solution! After spending thousands of dollars on creams, lotions, and expensive elixirs, I've found that applying oils directly to my skin in the morning will give me the best glow. If I'm in Greece I will use olive oil, if I'm traveling through tropical zones I'll slather on coconut oil.
What am I obsessing over now? Mandarine Oranges!!!
It's the time of year when leaves transform into vibrant hues, sweaters come out of storage, and the air becomes refreshingly crisp. Unfortunately, it's also a time of increased cold and flu symptoms, dry and painful skin conditions, and altered moods due to shorter days and a lack of sun. Go into this season prepared with a cupboard stocked with healing remedies for common ailments. Here are some beneficial and easy herbs to support your mind and body through the fall and winter months.
Say hello to summer this year with your best body ever! Become in-tune with your body, halt sugar cravings in their tracks, improve digestion, nourish your metabolism, lose weight, and feel vibrant just in time for the sunshine. We've designed a complete mind and body guide to help you look more radiant, feel more confident, and get ready for swimsuit season. Just try these powerful techniques.
I recently moved a magical mountain location surrounded by endless waterfalls, rivers, and forest as far as you can see but it also happens to be quite chilly here. For someone who prefers to wear a tank top while inside, this new "invigorating" environment has been slightly challenging well, until I did my research...
Did you know that lower indoor temperatures have been linked to better sleep, decreased inflammation, weight loss, improved blood flow, and even increased cognition?! This new evidence has radically changed my view and my comfort level to a lower temperature.
Feeling hungry? Eat an avocado!
The Nutrition Journal recently published a study that found adults who added 1/2 of an avocado to their lunch decreased their appetite by 40% for up to 3 hours. If that wasn't enough, these delish fruits are also rich in unsaturated fats and contain the highest amount of protein in any fruit! Great motivation infuse them into your life.
Mugwort, aka Artemisia vulgaris, an amazing women's herb used to tonify the reproductive system. It's name comes from the Greek Goddess of fertility and the forest named Artemisia. Commonly used to treat irregular menses by increasing the blood flow to the pelvic region, relaxing the nervous system, and easing tension to promote normal menstrual flow.
It's such a beautiful time of year and the air has a subtle sweet smell but with that comes pollen and allergies. Did you know that 58 million americans suffer from allergies in the U.S each year? There's a variety of symptoms that come with allergies including a runny nose, watery eyes, coughing, and sneezing.
So how do we embrace this gorgeous time of year without suffering?
Who doesn't want gorgeous, glowing skin? Many people associate a radiant complexion with good overall health, and they're right.
The skin is the largest organ in the body, covering 22 square feet, on average. In addition to providing the body external protection, skin has a variety of functions, including removing waste through the pores, supporting vitamin D production, and giving the sense of touch.
The skin also acts as a mirror for overall health. Have you ever noticed dark circles under your eyes when you don't get enough sleep, blemishes cropping up when you're stressed, or dull, dry skin when you aren't eating right? That's the skin providing a physical manifestation of what's happening within your body.
This season of new beginnings is the perfect time to turn deeper into yourself and rejuvenate your body.
This time of year—as the cold winter winds subside and the days become longer—the world's vibrant colors are revealed all around us. Mother Earth transforms the frozen landscape into a lush, green environment that inspires renewal, which makes it the perfect season to cleanse, nourish, and feel radiant from the inside out.
The body does an amazing job of detoxifying itself, but the amount of toxins we're exposed to on a daily basis has dramatically increased in our ever-more-plastic world—meaning that sometimes, your body might need a little help getting rid of all the garbage. Here are a few simple ways to support your main detoxification pathways and put the spring back into your step!
Physical touch and pleasure are some of the best activities to improve the overall health of your body and mind. And these natural aphrodisiacs will enhance desire, improve enjoyment, and boost sensation. Try them alone or with your partner for maximum results.
Medicinal mushrooms have a profound healing power, and were used thousands of years ago by the Greeks, Egyptians, and Chinese as a means to promote longevity. These beneficial fungi offer a vast range of potentially therapeutic uses including enhancing immunity, improving cardiovascular health, promoting detoxification, boosting mood, improving digestion, stimulating memory, and nourishing the body. What makes these "magic" mushrooms so unique? For one thing, fungi and humans are actually more closely related biologically than fungi and plants! Perhaps that's why they make us feel so good.
This classic saying actually has quite a bit of merit! Eating raw apples regularly is great for gout and rheumatism. 2 apples a day can actually reduce cholesterol levels by 10%. You can even apply raw grated apples as a poultice on sprains. Lets not forget that all this wonderful fiber is great for weight loss by increasing fullness and regulating blood sugars throughout the day!
Well, I guess I should start with "have you ever heard of a sitz bath?" first. This type of hydrotherapy has been used in Germany for centuries to tonify the pelvic region. It's such a simple yet powerful natural remedy for so many conditions that it's still as valid today as it was many years ago.

In his Twitter account, Mo Twister (Mohan Gumatay in real life) said: "The difference between you and me dear? Your loved ones get a funeral. My 3 1/2 month old child was thrown in the trash." He also told user @Mistacey: "You can call me loser and il agree w/ you. There was been no denial. I was in that room when one second your child has a heartbeat and the next second it's sucked out by tools and a vacuum. I'm a loser? Yes, I've lost something that I wish you won't ever have to endure." Gumatay earlier apologized to Ramos and her home network GMA-7 after a video of him confessing to Ramos' alleged abortion leaked online. In a statement aired over "Showbiz Rampa" on 103.5 WOW FM, Gumatay told Ramos he is sorry "that our rollercoaster relationship ended the way it did." Gumatay said he made the video "as a memento of this tragic event," adding that Ramos knew all about it. "Rhian knew about all of this. To a point where months ago, when they thought a lawyer was needed to aid in our breakup, that I was asked to surrender all of this 'proof' to them for it to be destroyed," he said. "I naturally gave in to their request, because for the second time, I chose my girlfriend over the memory of our child. I specifically asked them to not destroy it, to please return it to me 50 years from now, when all this showbiz priorities and 'branding' wouldn't mean so much anymore." Gumatay also gave this message to GMA-7: "I would like to apologize to the network for putting them in a bad light. This decision to have an abortion was not something the network instructed us to do... I understand that and I am sorry if the words on my 'video diary' depicted otherwise." A report from ABS-CBN's "E-Live" on Saturday said that GMA-7 is set to file appropriate charges against Gumatay "for malicious and false imputations against the network." A leaked video diary that went viral last week showed Gumatay in tears, saying that he and Ramos will "get rid of of our baby" due to pressure from her family and GMA-7.

Introduction to Basic Statistical Concepts for Science Teachers and Applications for Student Research Projects Ryan Tolman March 9 th, 2013 Workshop presented at The Kohala Center HI-MOES Teachers Meeting Waimea, HI
I.Introduction to Basic Statistical Concepts for Student Science Class Projects II.In-Class Examples of Teaching Statistical Concepts III.Resources for Applying Statistical Decision-Making to Student Research Projects IV.Resources and References
A.Purpose and Goals of the Workshop B.What are Statistics? (Definitions? Uses? Etc.) C.Review of Foundational Concepts in Statistics D.Statistics Throughout the Research Process
A. Purpose of the Workshop "Science isn't show and tell. It's a test or an experiment where you get repeatable, demonstratable results." "How do we determine if the results are statistically significant?"
A. Goals of the Workshop Learn basic concepts in statistics that are important to the research process. Learn how statistics are applied throughout the stages of the scientific research method. Provide hands-on examples of doing statistics to learn statistical concepts. Determine what statistical analysis to use based on the research design. Apply statistical analyses to examples of HI-MOES student research projects.
B. What Are Statistics?
What Are Statistics? Mathematical Statistics: procedures for dealing with numbers.
Much of Statistics is Actually Non- Mathematical Study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data. Statistics deals with all aspects of the research process. ▫Planning of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments.
Descriptive and Inferential Statistics Descriptive Statistics: Methods to summarize or describe a collection of data. Inferential Statistics: Statistical models that are used to draw inferences about the process or population under study. ▫Provides a way to draw conclusions from data that are subject to random variation. ▫Conclusions are tested as part of the scientific method.
Statistics and Probability Theory Probability Theory: starts from the given parameters of a total population to deduce probabilities that pertain to samples. Statistical Inference: moves in the opposite direction—inductively inferring from samples to the parameters of a larger or total population.
What Statistics Are to Me: Problem-solving A set of tools Story telling
C. Foundational Concepts in Statistics
Terminology Populations & Samples Population: the complete set of individuals, objects or scores of interest. ▫Often too large to sample in its entirety ▫It may be real or hypothetical (e.g. the results from an experiment repeated ad infinitum) Sample: A subset of the population. ▫A sample may be classified as random (each member has equal chance of being selected from a population) or convenience (what's available). ▫Random selection attempts to ensure the sample is representative of the population.
Variables Variables are the quantities measured in a sample.They may be classified as: Quantitative Interval, i.e. numerical Categorical Nominal (e.g. gender, blood group) Ordinal (ranked e.g. mild, moderate or severe illness). Often ordinal variables are re-coded to be quantitative.
Variables Variables can be further classified as: ▫Dependent/Response. Variable of primary interest (e.g. blood pressure in an antihypertensive drug trial). Not controlled by the experimenter. ▫ Independent/Predictor called a Factor when controlled by experimenter. It is often nominal (e.g. treatment) Covariate when not controlled. If the value of a variable cannot be predicted in advance then the variable is referred to as a random variable
Parameters & Statistics Parameters: Quantities that describe a population characteristic. They are usually unknown and we wish to make statistical inferences about parameters. Descriptive Statistics: Quantities and techniques used to describe a sample characteristic or illustrate the sample data e.g. mean, standard deviation, box-plot
Measures of Central Tendency (Location) Measures of location indicate where on the number line the data are to be found. Common measures of location are: (i)the Arithmetic Mean, (ii)the Median, and (iii)the Mode
Measures of Dispersion Measures of dispersion characterise how spread out the distribution is, i.e., how variable the data are. Commonly used measures of dispersion include: 1.Range 2.Variance & Standard deviation 3.Coefficient of Variation (or relative standard deviation) 4.Inter-quartile range
Statistical Inference Statistical Inference – the process of drawing conclusions about a population based on information in a sample
Statistical Inference Population (parameters, e.g., and ) select sample at random Sample collect data from individuals in sample Data Analyse data (e.g. estimate ) to make inferences
The Normal Distribution The Normal distribution is considered to be the most important distribution in statistics It occurs in "nature" from processes consisting of a very large number of elements acting in an additive manner However, it would be very difficult to use this argument to assume normality of your data ▫Later, we will see exactly why the Normal is so important in statistics
Normal curve + + 1.96 + 3 - - 1.96 - 3 0.68 0.95 0.997
Sampling distribution of Sample Means 95% 95% of the 's lie between
How close is Sample Statistic to Population Parameter ? Population parameters, e.g. and are fixed Sample statistics, vary from sample to sample How close is the sample mean to the population mean? ▫Cannot answer question for a particular sample ▫Can answer if we can find out about the distribution that describes the variability in the random variable
Statistical Models Statistical Models: ▫Fitting statistical models to data that represent the hypotheses that we want to test. ▫Use probability to see whether scores are likely to have happened by chance. Testing Statistical Models: ▫Compare the systematic variation against the unsystematic variation. ▫In other words, how good the model/hypothesis is at explaining the data against how bad it is (the error): Outcome = Model + error
Test Statistic = Variance/Unexplained Variance Systematic and Unexplained Variance ▫Systematic variation: variation due to some genuine effect. ▫Unsystematic variation: variation that isn't due to the effect in which the researcher is interested, variation that can't be explained by the model. Test statistic = [variance explained by the model/variance not explained by the model] = [effect/error] Essentially, most statistical tests calculate the amount of variance explained by the model we've fitted to the data compared to the variance that can't be explained by the model. ▫If the model is good, we would expect it to explain more of the variance in the data.
D. Statistics Throughout the Research Process
Workshop Activity #1: What Statistical Questions Are Asked During Each Stage of the Research Process? Stage of the Scientific Research Process Statistical Questions that Can Be Asked at Each Stage of Research 1.Create a Research Question 1.Gather Information on the Topic 1.Create a Hypothesis 1.Design Methods and Procedures 1.Collect Data 1.Analyze Data 1.Make Conclusions 1.Communicating Your Findings
Workshop Activity #2: Applying Statistics to Each Stage of the Research Process? Stage of the Scientific Research Process Statistical Issues at Each Stage of the Research Process 1.Create a Research Question 1.Gather Information on the Topic 1.Create a Hypothesis 1.Design Methods and Procedures 1.Collect Data 1.Analyze Data 1.Make Conclusions 1.Communicating Your Findings
What Have We Learned So Far? What Statistics Are ▫Deals with all stages of the research process ▫Statistical Inference Key Concepts in Statistics ▫Sampling from a Population ▫Types of Variables ▫Measures of Central Tendency and Dispersion ▫Normal Distribution ▫Statistical Model and Test Statistic Statistics Role Throughout the Research Process ▫Questions asked by statisticians in research ▫Applying statistics throughout the research process
A.Random Sampling w/ M&M's B.Using Statistics to Test Hypotheses in Excel
A. Random Sampling w/ M&M's Why do researchers collect samples instead of measuring the entire population? Why is it important that researchers collect samples randomly? What is the connection between random sampling and statistics?
B. Using Statistics to Test Hypotheses in Excel When there is a difference observed in the random samples collected by researchers, how can they tell that the difference is statistically significant? Utilize the Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit Statistic to Test a hypotheses regarding the frequency distribution of different colors of M&M's.
What Did We Learn in This Example? Association between concepts of random sampling in statistics and applications in research. Difference between "descriptive" and "inferential" statistics. Make the association between different stages of the research process and the application of statistics. Learning statistical applications through hands-on examples.
A.Statistical Decision Tree B.Statistics Calculators
A. Statistical Decision Tree Statistical analyses can be thought of as a set of tools. One must select the right tool for the job. What information do you need to know to decide what statistical analysis to use?
What Information is Needed to Decide What Statistical Analysis to Use? 1.What type of research question are you asking (e.g., descriptive, test of association, testing differences)? 2.How many variables are being measured? 3.How many of the variables are independent or dependent variables? 4.What type of measurement data is being collected (e.g., nominal, ordinal, interval)? 5.How is the data structured? 6.How many samples are being collected? 7.Are the data normally distributed? 8.What is the sample size?
Basic Steps in Deciding What Statistics to Use 1.Determine what type of research question you are asking. 2.Determine how many variables you have. Which ones are independent dependent variables. 3.Determine what type of measurement scale your data is.
If you know what your research question is asking, you can often determine the statistical analysis Descriptive: Describing a sample or a population Comparing groups: Testing for differences between two or more groups. Associations: Examining the relationships or links between two constructs of interest. Predictive: Does increasing (or decreasing) the value on one measure effect the value of another measure.
Type of Data Goal Measurement (from Gaussian Population) Binomial (Two Possible Outcomes) Describe one groupMean, SDProportion Compare one group to a hypothetical value One-sample ttestChi-square or Binomial test** Compare two unpaired groups Unpaired t test Fisher's test (chi-square for large samples) Compare two paired groupsPaired t testMcNemar's test Compare three or more unmatched groups One-way ANOVAChi-square test Compare three or more matched groups Repeated-measures ANOVACochrane Q** Quantify association between two variables Pearson correlationContingency coefficients** Predict value from another measured variable Simple linear regression or Nonlinear regression Simple logistic regression* Predict value from several measured or binomial variables Multiple linear regression* or Multiple nonlinear regression** Multiple logistic regression*
What type of measurement scale is the data? TypeCategoryExplanationExample Categorical Binary There are only two categories dead or alive; male or female Nominal There are more than two categories whether someone is an omnivore, vegetarian, vegan, or fruitarian Ordinal The same as a nominal variable, but the categories have a logical order Letter grades on an exam; scales such as none; few; some; many Continuous Interval Equal intervals on the variable represent equal differences in the property being measured the difference between 6 and 8 is equivalent to the difference between 13 and 15 Ratio The same as an interval variable, but the ratios of scores on the scale must also make sense a score of 16 on an anxiety scale means that the person is, in reality, twice as anxious as someone scoring 8
Student Research Example Research Question: Is there a difference in the abundance and diversity of fish close to shore and further from shore at Kahalu'u Bay? Hypothesis: We think there will be more fish species in the water farther from shore because there is less human activity and more coral, providing a greater food source.

B. Statistics Calculators
Example of Testing Statistical Significance of Student Research Findings with Statistics Calculators Conclusion: Our hypothesis regarding the total number of fish observed in waters farther from shore versus closer to shore was supported because 54.2% of all fish surveyed were found in waters further from shore. Even though the students found a higher percentage to support their hypotheses, are the results statistically significant?
Were the students results statistically significant? It's important to emphasize the learning opportunities to teach the scientific method when students find non-significant results. Technically, the hypothesis and conclusions aren't wrong, you just failed to reject the null. Time to go through the different stages of the research project and figure out what can be done differently. This is how scientific advances progress and represents the circular nature of the scientific method and research process.
For each stage of the research process, how can the research study can be improved or altered to investigate your question. 1.While examining the findings, are there any further analyses that can be done? 2.What new theories or observations can be made from the findings? 3.How might the research question be revised or altered for a follow-up study? 4.Can more information be gathered on the topic? Were there variables that were unaccounted for in the original study? 5.What new or different hypotheses could be made in a follow-up study? 6.How might the methods and procedures be revised? 7.Were the data collection needs sufficient to answer the research question?

Air France aircraft parked at Paris Orly airport.
The latest French air traffic control (ATC) strike has caused a record-breaking 1,500 flight cancellations, according to estimates by commercial aviation group Airlines for Europe (A4E).
The industry body, which represents Europe's biggest airlines, said the March 6-10 walkout affected more than 1 million passengers and led to more than 320,000 minutes—or 5,300 hours—of delays.
A4E managing director Thomas Reynaert described the impact on passengers as "devastating" and once again called on European and French policymakers to minimize strike disruption, without affecting controllers' fundamental right to strike.
Potential solutions proposed by A4E include requiring a minimum notice period of 72 hours and allowing upper airspace flights to continue by removing geographical dependency.
The walkout was one of the longest ATC strikes in Europe, affecting control centers in Brest, Bordeaux and Marseille. The action forced airlines to cut their French flights by 25% and disrupted services overflying France—including links from the UK and Italy, Switzerland and Spain—triggering congestion and lengthy detours.
A4E called on passengers to sign its petition calling for strike disruption to be minimized, adding that ATC strikes have had a €12 billion ($12.8 billion) impact on European Union GDP over the last seven years.
"Travelers can unite and let out their frustration about the continuous travel disruptions supporting our petition 'Keep Europe's Skies open.' We will present this petition in Brussels to urge the EU Commission and the EU Parliament to finally take action. Holidays and the summer break are ahead of us as possibly the next strikes," Reynaert said.
A4E warned that another walkout is likely in Italy March 20.

This is just a clear gloss with lots of iridescent glitter...but it tastes and feels pretty good on. This flavor is also discontinued, I believe.

Not sure what I think about this one. I had high expectations before I got this in a swap, thinking it might have been more pigmented than it really is, but it's basically a clear gloss with lots of irridescent glitter. Smells unique though. I think I might stick with Cherries Jubilee instead.

I love love love this scent. I've never heard of a plum-scented gloss before, but I'm glad I found this one! Nice sweet scent. I love the texture of the Gourmet Glosses, I love their packaging, and I love the translucent purple of this and the gorgeous shimmer. LOVE it.

This is GREAT! I usually HATE putting my finger in lipgloss, but for some reason, this isn't so bad. It has a nice scent, I wouldn't exactly call it plum, but pleasent and not over powering. GREAT lip gloss! I can't rave enough about it!!! The packaging is cute, regtangle-ish, but I find it hard to open. It's kind of a pain in the but, but I can definately deal with it. When on, it's a nice clear with little sparkles. Very pretty. The shine isn't like "Pornstar" shine, it's not over the top, but it is really pretty.

A new flavour! woo! A light glittery purple in the package, but applied it's a peachy-pink, and you can barely see the glitter. I *LOVE* the flavour. More grape-y than plum. The only bad thing is the container. They top falls off in my purse. Well worth the $1.99!

Today is about the last day you make purchases from many Internet retailers and receive it in time for Christmas. Fortunately, we've found some last minute gift ideas for you. Our deals cover a large variety of tablets, smartphones and more! Some standouts include a 2013 MacBook Air, Solid State Drive and the Kindle Fire HD and HDX models.
Tablets Users
Kindle Fire HD
- Cost: $139
- From: Amazon
You can grab the Kindle Fire HD for the low price of $139 from Amazon. In my opinion, the HDX model offers a substantially better deal, but if that's out of your price range, the HD model will do nicely.
Kindle Fire HDX
- Cost: $199
- From: ShopRite
The HDX model offers, arguably, the industry's best screen quality. The HDX's LCD screen uses a great deal less energy than a traditional LCD screen, while offering outstanding resolution and screen quality. It also sports the latest Snapdragon 800 CPU. You can also get the HDX at Amazon for $229, although if you use the Amazon credit card, it can cost as little as $179.
It's worth noting that the HDX is the only 7″ tablet that gives the Nexus 7 a run for its money.
Nexus 7 2013 Model
- Price: $179 + gift
- From: Office Depot
Normally priced at $229, the 2013 Nexus 7 features a stepped down Snapdragon 600 (rebadged as an older CPU) and Android 4.4, when updated. I personally consider this the best 7″ tablet you can buy for the money. The "free" gift can either be a 16GB flash drive, an 8-pack of AA batteries or a Targus stylus. With the added gifts, this remains the best deal I've seen on a 2013 Nexus 7.
NOTE: Make sure you click on this link and click on "SHOP NOW" to get the gift.
Alternatively, you may also purchase the Nexus 7 2013 model from eBay for around $225.
Laptop Users
2013 MacBook Air
- Cost: $899
- From: Microcenter via Fatwallet
If you happen to live near a Microcenter, one of the best recent offers just showed up. You can purchase a 2013 MacBook Air for the killer price of $899! That price, unfortunately, requires that you actually go into the brick and mortar store, limited to just 1 unit per household. For locations, check here.
You can also get a 15″ MacBook Pro 2013 model for $1799.99 at the same location.
Samsung 11.6″ Chromebook (Refurbished, WiFi model)
- Cost: $189
- From: Groupon
If you're into Chromebooks, you can now score a refurbished model for the low price of $189 — down nearly $50 from a brand new model, such as eBay's offering at $219.99. This particular Exynos-powered machine offers outstanding battery life and good construction quality. On the downside, it offers only a one-month warranty.

System Builders
SanDisk Ultra Plus 256 GB SATA 6.0 Solid State Drive
- Cost: $166.99
- From: eBay
While not a barn-burner in performance relative to other SSDs, SanDisk's Ultra Plus solid state drives still provide pretty amazing performance bumps over traditional hard disk drives. The $0658 per gigabyte cost makes this deal pretty attractive.
An alternative in terms of price is PNY's XLR8 Pro 240GB SSD for $129.99 after a $30 rebate, which costs slightly less in per gigabyte pricing, but comes with faster transfer speeds. If you're signed up for MasterPass, you can get the drive for as little as $117, with coupon code 'MASTERPASS'.
Just remember to optimize your SSD How To Optimize SSD Speed & Performance How To Optimize SSD Speed & Performance Although Solid State Drives can deliver break-neck computing speeds, most users don't know a nasty secret - your drive might not be properly configured.

Cheating in College: Don't Do It! Jun 29, 2011 by Radha Jhatakia It's 6 a.m. and you just can't conquer the writer's block for your 20-page term paper. You didn't procrastinate on purpose – that party was too good to pass up or the homework for all your other classes was overwhelming – but no matter what the reason, it is never acceptable to cheat. Cheating undermines the effort of your hard-working classmates who complete their work honestly and on time. Cheating also strips the cheater of his or her integrity and whether others can put their trust in said person again. Unfortunately, there are many people who cheat in the world but you should not be one of them. You should want to get by on your own merit, not that of others. That is why there are such harsh penalties for cheaters: When a person plagiarizes in college or is caught cheating, punishments can include being given a GPA-tanking "F" in the class, being stripped of high honors, losing scholarships or even being expelled from the university. These are minor punishments compared to what happens in the real world for cheating, which could include multi-million dollar lawsuits and jail time. I think I've been pretty clear here but I haven't, just heed these two words: NEVER CHEAT. It's not ethical and is looked down upon by almost everyone. Hold your head high and remember that doing your best and failing is better than cheating and passing. A professor would have more respect in you if you are honest and ask for help rather than if they catch you cheating. Professors were once college students, too; if you need an extension or are truly struggling, they will most likely remember their own college days and show you some compassion if you are truthful. Radha Jhatakia is a communications major who will be transferring to San Jose State University this fall. She's had some ups and downs in school and many obstacles to face; these challenges – plus support from family, friends and cat – have only made Radha stronger and have given her the experience to help others with the same issues. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, reading, cooking, sewing and designing. A social butterfly, Radha hopes to work in public relations and marketing upon graduation.Going to college doesn't have to break the bank or saddle you with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt.

Mirand A1 i have made.
I Wonder what did go wrong with my design.
I believe that people was frightend by the number fo SMT parts on the board. Even Hugh from AKSA said that the price was nearly to fair! The swedish hififorum.nu did some comparison to valveamplifiers. And they where satisfied with it: "Enligt mina öron lät det Rytmniskt steg som levererat ett djup och en potent botten. Dessutom skall man komma ihåg att steget inte är inspelat än " "Den spelade RIKTIGT bra!!! Skall se om jag kan få lite mer INTRYCK. Det som jag kommer på nu är att den spelar djupt. HELA (?) basregistret är med." Just to mention a two of the responses. So i was i bit pussled about only selling 10 units. I will maybe start up making a second attempt as i have a SMT machine and oven. And then i will only produce them as preassembled board, then people can concentrate on making stunning enclousure instead... The enclousure is the sign of a person DIY work. So if it dies out again.... Then burn buren!!! |

Once you get used to SMD it is all you will want to use. I use an OKi MFR series station with tweezers and it makes SMD a breeze. I am much faster both soldering and desoldering SMD components (0603 through big QFP packages) than I am with through-hole stuff.
The only exception to this is SMD devices with thermal pads meant to be attached to the board. Those are a serious pain unless you have a hot air machine / reflow oven / etc. And even then they can be very difficult. |

SMD FTW!! indeed once you are used to working with SMD, you really find it difficult to justify using anything else. I need to build myself an oven with controller, love the links in here. tghinking i'll get that infraoven and then build a controller with it.
of course some devices are simply not available, but that list is becoming smaller and smaller, with Si fets available, zfoil resistors available (within a limited range of values) and pretty nice film caps too, really dont get this whole thing on here and other forums where people will simply replace or remove anything SMD, often without even knowing what its for; hell sometimes in spite of knowing what its for!! like a particular brand of fool that replaces ceramic decoupling caps in a clock circuit and replaces it with massive inductive airsculptures made of old nos oil caps or of course blackgates, you know that blackgate is great at everything, fantastic in the Mhz range too.... funniest thing ive seen I think was someone unknowingly replacing SMD oscons with leaded ones and using wima metalized film somewhere where an SMD PPS or pet would have fit quite easily. its too funny |

Is the new ethanol gas a blessing or curse?

Most listings are in the $0's per square foot per year. The Ypsilanti region is seeing a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $15 per sqft per year. That's a 100% decline in rent.
In the last 90 days, 2 listings have been made available, which means leases might be going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around 1,850 sqft. Most buildings in this area are around 2 floors. Most buildings in this region were built in 1950 and are Class B.
