Combining 3D modelling of the Old Bailey courtroom c.1800 with textual analysis of the recorded speech of defendants tried there, this paper explores how we might reconstruct the 'voices' of the dead, and locate them in an understandable material context. By combining statistical analysis of one of the most extensive verbatim records we possess of speech acts prior to the twentieth century – The Old Bailey Proceedings – with historical reconstructions derived from architectural drawings, contemporary images and archival research, this papers seeks to both illustrate an innovative methodological approach, and at the same time, revise our understanding of the evolution of both the trial process, and the experience of being tried.

Bridlington Town will fancy their chances of a return to the KC Stadium after drawing the outsiders in the East Riding Senior Cup semi-finals.
The Seasiders will face Riccall United in the last four, with the tie to played at the Roy West Centre in Hull on Tuesday, March 22 or Thursday, March 24.
Riccall are the current York League champions but sit in fifth in the table this season, and cup holders Town will have been relieved to have avoided Hall Road Rangers and North Ferriby United, who meet in the other semi-final.
Bridlington booked their place in the semi-finals by making hard work of seeing off NCEL Division One side Westella VIP on Tuesday evening, in a match which was switched to Queensgate..
The underdogs took an early lead through Lewis Andrews, but the Seasiders found themselves by the 11th minute of the game, thanks to Chris Jenkinson's header and Ryan Nicholls' fine volley.
Jenkinson had another goal chalked off before half-time for offside and Westella spurned a glorious one-on-one chance at the start of the second half, but goalmouth action was rare.
Eventually, Will Waudby's splendid cross was headed home from close range by Andy Norfolk and Bridlington looked home and dry with 10 minutes to go.
However, Westella sub Luke Salas produced a wonderful chip to reduce the arrears and set up a nervy last five minutes.

Chevron and Partners Commit to Development of the Frade Field Offshore Brazil
SAN RAMON, Calif., June 21, 2006 -- Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX), through its affiliate Chevron Frade Limited Liability Company, along with partners Petrobras and Frade Japao Petroleo Limitada (FJPL), a joint vehicle company of INPEX, Sojitz and JOGMEC, today announced their commitment to develop the Frade oil field offshore Brazil.
The Frade Field is Chevron's first oil field development project in Brazil. It is expected to begin production in late 2008 or early 2009, with production capacity of approximately 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day and estimated peak annual production of 85,000 oil-equivalent barrels per day. The Frade Field contains an estimated 200 million to 300 million barrels of recoverable oil and is located in the Campos Basin in a water depth of 3,500 feet, approximately 75 miles offshore the state of Rio de Janeiro.
"This commitment marks the first major upstream development for Chevron in Brazil and is aligned not only with Chevron's upstream growth strategies for the region but will bring significant new crude oil supplies to the world market," said John Watson, president, Chevron International Exploration and Production.
Chevron, as operator, together with partners Petrobras and FJPL recently signed contracts for construction and installation of the major facilities components for development of the Frade Field. The entire project represents an estimated financial commitment of approximately US$2.4 billion.
Ali Moshiri, president, Chevron Latin American Upstream, said, "The Frade Project will establish the foundation for growing Chevron's upstream business in Brazil. Our teams will now focus on the safe and timely execution of the project."
The development concept consists of horizontal production wells along with vertical water injection wells to maintain reservoir pressure. The wells will be individually tied back to a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. Crude oil export will be by tanker, while natural gas will be transported through the local natural gas pipeline infrastructure.
Chevron, through its affiliate Chevron Brasil Limitada, is the operator of the Frade Field and holds a 51.74 percent working interest. Other partners in the project include Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras, 30 percent; and Frade Japao Petroleo Limitada, 18.26 percent.
Chevron is one of the world's leading energy companies. With more than 53,000 employees, Chevron subsidiaries conduct business in approximately 180 countries around the world, producing and transporting crude oil and natural gas, and refining, marketing, and distributing fuels and other energy products. Chevron is based in San Ramon, Calif. More information about Chevron is available at www.chevron.com.
Editor's Note:
In late 2005, Chevron entered into a three-year drilling contract with Transocean Inc. for the Sedco 706 to drill the Frade development wells.
In the past week the following contracts have been awarded:
- Engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel to Single Buoy Moorings Inc. of Switzerland;
- Operations services of the FPSO to Single Buoy Moorings Frade Servicos Maritimos Ltda. of Brasil;
- Design and manufacture of subsea equipment to FMC Brazil and FMC Technologies Houston;
- Design and manufacture of umbilicals to Marine Production Systems do Brasil, Ltda, a subsidiary of Oceaneering International Inc. of Houston;
- Design and manufacture of flexible pipe to Wellstream International Limited of the United Kingdom;
- Installation of subsea facilities to Acergy Brasil, S.A. and Acergy U.S. Inc.

A stunning pair of diamond-encrusted platinum sandals have emerged as the most-wanted shoes in Hollywood.
Every leading lady dreams of wearing the eye-popping stilettos by Stuart Weitzman.
That's because whoever wears them to the Oscars ceremony will make history – for sporting the most expensive shoes ever made.
The sandals, decorated with 464 pear and round-shaped diamonds, are worth a whopping $1 million.
One star has been rumored to have already been chosen to wear the 4-inch-high creations, but her identity is being kept secret until she makes her entrance at the Academy Awards.
The five celebs believed to be in the running for the shoes are Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry and Renée Zellweger – all nominated for best actress – and Jennifer Lopez, who'll be a presenter.
The designer is confident of selling the shoes after the Oscars and has promised to donate 25 percent of the price to charity.

GHRS Instrument Handbook
Reference Information on Instrument Performance
Useful Wavelength RangesThe following table summarizes the useful wavelength range for each of the first-order gratings of GHRS. More precise sensitivity values are enumerated below. Note that little or no flux below 1150 Å is reflected by the COSTAR mirrors because of their magnesium fluoride coatings.
Table 8.1: Useful Wavelength Ranges for First-Order Gratings.
The "bandpass" column provides the number of Ångstroms per exposure one can expect, the range being from the blue end of the spectrum to the red.
The last three gratings are used with detector D2, which admits some second-order light, hence the comments. For example, Lyman-a light (1216 Å) can appear at 2432 Å in second order. Except for this possibility of geocoronal contamination, many cool stars have very little short-wavelength flux, so that the best resolution can be achieved without undue extraneous light by observing in first order near the high-wavelength limit.
Note that the G270M grating has an order-sorting filter which eliminates light below about 1650 Å so that no cross-order contamination occurs below 3300 Å.
Resolving Power
The following figures illustrate the resolving power as measured for each of GHRS' gratings. In this case the resolving power was computed as R = l/Dl, where is the measured full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of lines from an exposure of a spectrum calibration lamp. Tests have shown that the measured FWHM does not change significantly with wavelength (for the first-order gratings) or with ml, the product of the wavelength and order number (for the echelle gratings). The nominal design specification for the GHRS was R = 20,000 for the first-order gratings, but in fact one can exceed a resolving power of 25,000 at virtually all wavelengths. Similarly, the low-dispersion grating G140L has R in excess of 2,000 over most of its useful wavelength range. The true resolving powers for the echelle gratings are closer to 80,000 than the nominal 100,000.
By providing a sharper image of a point source, COSTAR restores the resolving power achieved with the LSA to within about 20% of that possible with the SSA. There is no effective change for the SSA, however.
Figure 8.1: Spectrum resolving power as a function of wavelength for the GHRS medium-resolution (holographic) gratings. From left to right the curves are for G140M, G160M, G200M, and G270M, respectively.
Figure 8.2: Resolving power for grating G140L.
Sensitivity Functions for the First-Order Gratings
Below are given sensitivities for the first-order gratings measured after the installation of the COSTAR mirrors, using the Large Science Aperture and in units of 1011 (counts sec-1 diode-1) per incident (erg cm-2 sec-1 Å-1). SSA sensitivity is about 50 to 70% of these values, with the larger value applying at longer wavelengths.

The online world is buzzing with Beyonce's half-time show at the Super Bowl XLVII that took place last night in New Orleans, LA.
While sports enthusiasts were crazy about the score, I was going crazy in love with Beyonce's outfit or should I say outfits! New York based designer Rubin Singer created several pieces for the performance that the Single Ladies singer stripped out off to finally reveal a bodysuit made with strips of python, iguana, and leather with black chantilly lace trim. Beyonce finished off the look with her signature fishnet stockings and leather boots.
All leather and exotic skins were assembled by hand by Singer's seamstresses and amazingly enough, constructed and sown onto Beyonce's body to complete the elaborate final look!

WorkAlign (field coaching)
I had the pleasure to have Martin as my facilitator and enjoyed every minute of it! He was a breath of fresh air and I found the field coaching to be the best I have ever had. Called "hot washing", he gave me precise, excellent feedback immediately regarding job briefings. My biggest take away is that as the leader I only need to have a couple of mission critical items to deliver as my message gets diluted when I ramble about a lot of other things. Martin taught my staff and I how to position ourselves for effectiveness. He also drove home the point that I need to put myself in the employees shoes that I am talking to.

|(RacingOne/ISC Archives)
With Gordon's Cup career now winding down, one cannot overestimate the impact that Gordon made on the sport.
Gordon will go down as one of the best drivers ever, and for good reason. In a time when NASCAR grew more competitive than ever, Gordon became a contender right away. He did not finish outside of the top nine in points from 1994 until 2005. He is fourth all-time with four titles, which he won in a seven year span, and he is third all-time with 92 wins. He won multiple races every season from 1994 until 2007 and has gone only three seasons without a victory. He is third all-time with 77 poles and has a record in winning a pole in 22 consecutive seasons (he has never gone a full-time season without a pole). And who knows what would have happened had NASCAR not instituted the Chase.
But what made Gordon important in NASCAR's history was far more than the prodigious amount of success he had on the track. When he entered the Cup Series, NASCAR was growing quickly but it still was struggling of the reputation of being a regional sport populated by good ol' boys. Gordon became NASCAR's first real pretty boy star and the first with legitimate mainstream crossover appeal. He is the only NASCAR driver to ever host Saturday Night Live and has filled-in for Regis Philbin on Live! With Regis & Kelly (before the Michael Strahan era). And how many drivers would have ever been mentioned in a Nelly track?
Gordon was front-and-center when NASCAR really exploded by the turn of the century but he also opened the door for more drivers outside of the South. He also led to owners looking for the "next Jeff Gordon," trying to find the next young hot-shot, changing from how in the past when young drivers would have to drive for smaller, lesser quality teams before getting the big chance.
Another way that Gordon left his mark in NASCAR was giving a shot for a driver whose career has surpassed his. Gordon urged team owner Rick Hendrick to give a then-Busch Series driver named Jimmie Johnson a shot in Cup and when Hendrick wanted Gordon to put his money where his mouth was, he did. He became a partner in the 48 car and helped to pave the way for Johnson's dominance over the past decade.
It seems like all but a certainty that Gordon will be replaced by the driver who looks like the next big NASCAR star, Chase Elliott. But no matter how many titles Elliott will win or anybody else, it seems unlikely that we will see a driver that will have left an impact like Gordon did on the sport of NASCAR.

#166: "Chocolate Flower Farm", oil, 24" x 16"
One sunny day lately I ran around Langley taking interior photos while the sun was streaming in. Some of these shops are so artfully put together that they are still life paintings just waiting to be done. This display at the Chocolate Flower Farm on 1st Street was begging to be painted. This was a joy to paint. Once in a great while a painting just kind of falls out of your brush. This is one of those. Of course I had to fuss a bit about values, but not so much on this one. I also feel I used fewer brush strokes to say what I wanted to say. The little jars and bottles are just a a couple strokes each...a light side, a dark side, a lid. You can look at details in these paintings by clicking on the image when you are looking at them on the blog. An artist friend of mine said "you can almost see the dust motes". I love that comment. The Ray for the Day is "Chocolate Flower Farm".

#164, "Common's Conversation", oil, 24" x 18"
A popular Langley cafe and used book store, The Commons, is the perfect place to begin my new series, "Langely Inside Out". All three of us at Studio 106 have been very industrious during this beginning of 2013. We crank up the music and get lost in our paintings, taking breaks only for a bit of critique or a quick lunch (during which time we talk about art and stare at our paintings and do more critique). At the end of the day we often pour a bit of wine and do more staring and talking. For me it is the perfect set up. The challenge in this painting was of values and of cools and warms. I wanted the cool outdoor light to come into the warmth of the room without cooling down the room. It is always surprising to me how dark the value of white wood can be when it is back lit. I cannot think "white woodwork", I have to think shape and value only. It took awhile, but I got it.The Ray for the Day is "Common's Conversation".

#163 "whatta Hoot!", acrylic, 6" x 6"
This playful acrylic painting was made from a photo I took in Mexico of an owl in a collection of folk art owned by a friend named Annie. Apologies to Annie and the owl, but I had to shorten the legs to make the owl fit on a 6" x 6" panel. I also added the little blue bird to make the composition more pleasing. I painted this to help cheer up a friend of mine who recently had surgery. She has a small collection of Oaxacan folk pieces, and I thought this would fit right in. It wasn't intended, but it looks like the blue bird of happiness is about to fly up Hooty's nose. This is a playful diversion from the series I have begun for my 2014 calendar which I am calling "Langley Inside Out", paintings of interior scenes from Langley buildings. I have completed 3 of those which will show up in the next few days. The Ray for the Day is "Whatta Hoot!".

30 Jul Newsworks – Tech Nation
Group Dynamics provided Smart Kiosks for Newsworks – a marketing body responsible for newspapers and advertisers in Central London.
Newsworks had completed a research project on the new Tech Nation which had split the UK into five different tech types:
- Tech Rich: Important to have the latest tech, have a passionate interest in technology and a desire for the latest product
- Social Addict: Strong emotional attachment to mobile devices, tech ownership is high and is all about being constantly connected
- TV Worshipper: TV takes high priority, tech purchases are driven by entertainment needs
- Quality Seeker: Own more traditional and functional tech items, keen to buy the best technology but rely on trusted sources for guidance
- Price Pragmatist: Don't own many tech devices, seek out offers and deals, need trusted info to help them make the right choices
Set in an all white setting and against a backdrop of LED lighting, the event was split between two rooms; Our Smart Kiosks were installed in the lower level to allow attendees to vote whilst the main room hosted a drinks reception with presentations and videos following up on the voting session.
As part of the voting, guests were presented with a room complete with a series of hanging picture profiles and case study descriptions. The profiles ranged from:
- Admin assistant
- Bar worker
- Teacher
- Comedian
- Healthcare manager
- Security firm employee
- Promoter
- Photographer
As drinks and canapés flowed and guests mingled, they were asked to vote each individual into one of the tech type categories cited above simply by voting on the touch screen tablets.
Results were collected in and displayed to a live audience. In the example of the admin assistant:
42% of guests decided that she was a price pragmatist
6% a Quality Seeker
3% a TV Worshipper
46% a Social Addict
3% Tech Rich
Following the analysis of the voting results, videos were shown of each individual in the category speaking about their attitudes to technology and buying new devices. Guests then gained insight into the differences between each category.
Additional touch screen Smart Kiosks were set up in the drinks reception so that guests could take part in Newsworks' Geek Calculator quiz to measure which of the five tech groups they fell into. The guests enjoyed the interactive element of the event and were quite surprised by the findings with one commenting that he thought he would be classed as a social addict but was in fact proved wrong and turned out to be a TV Worshipper.
Over 200,000 people took part in the Geek Calculator survey.

The Spiritual Power of Creativity
Along the way I've blogged about the Sistine Chapel in Rome, and the tour de force paintings by Michelangelo Buanarotti. Even though Michelangelo considered himself a sculptor he took on this monumental project which he undertook without a plan. The ceiling depicts dozens of biblical figures and stories, including the iconic creation image of a bearded God conveying the divine spark to Adam, the mythical first human. I just read a big think article about speculation that Michelangelo concealed images around and beneath these various figures, including an anatomically accurate brain behind God in that creation image. Outlined this way it doesn't take a brain surgeon to see it...sorry... This isn't as far-fetched as you might imagine. Michelangelo was a student of anatomy, doing dissections of cadavers at a time when this was considered a desecration of the human body.
This is an excerpt from the big think piece:
At age 33, Michelangelo Buonarotti began the project. It was 1508. He finished in 1512. It wasn't easy. He painted mostly standing up,not on his back as rumored. Craning his neck for long hours caused him terrible headaches, spasms, and muscle cramps. A mold bloom made him scrap the first draft. He scraped the whole ceiling and started over. The great master even had to create a system of scaffolding and platforms to allow him to complete the work.
The highlighting is mine because it chucked me upside the head. Michelangelo had to erase the first draft of what is one of the great accomplishments of fine art and the depiction of the biblical narrative. What if he had abandoned the project in frustration? Or what if his church sponsors had decided to choose a less ambitious form of decoration?
This is more than an example of "if at first you don't succeed..." It speaks to the power of creativity, God's and ours, which is a profound form of spiritual expression.

Pocket Dragons are very, very small and never seen by humans. The only way you even know they exist is by finding their bedding or pillows. If you have ever reached your hand into one of your pockets and found a bit of lint, perhaps shaped gently into a tiny pillow, then you know you have a Pocket Dragon living with you and you should treat it oh, so very kindly because they are loyal and good friends, even tho' you can't see them.
All of that being true, I believe this may be the first ever picture of a Pocket Dragon!

System administration for business continuity – the case of HP–UX operating system
The paper explores the roles of system administration as an IT–operation and system administrator as an IT–specialist from business continuity perspective. It aims at identifying the most critical system administrator's activities and server operating system's features for achieving high availability ratios and hence enhancing business continuity. HP's HP–UX as a server operating system is selected as a case. A thorough list of main system administration commands, tools, techniques and technologies on the HP–UX operating platform that are crucial for enhancing business continuity are identified. The paper is presented in a form of case study combined with the systems approach in exploring modern server operating environments, system administration, availability and business continuity. The paper can be used to identify a framework for defining additional skills of system administrators and necessary features of server operating environment within the efforts of enhancing high availability ratios and business continuity.

Aging for Dummies
Thanks for sticking by me, loyal "dummy" followers.
As the book readies for publication, we're moving to a new-improved site: Aging Our Way.
Adopt-a-Grandparent is a popular extracurricular option on our national college campuses, especially as students increasingly attend college far from family. But I hadn't heard of Rent-a-Grandma until today. According to the Christian Science Monitor, Rent-A-Grandma (out of Los Angeles) is opening franchises across the country. The outfit places women 50+ where they are needed for elder care, child care, house care, pet care and beyond. "Women 50+ don't text or tweet while they're watching your kids," according to Rent-A-Grandma's founder, while adding that their experience makes these women good at what they do. Maybe Grandma is getting a better rap these days. She's trustworthy and experienced, when it comes to caring for others. And I bet they are more tech-saavy than we make them out to be.
A good death. What would it look like?
My students weighed in — outlining their ideal death scenarios including having family close-by, to emotional preparation and goodbyes, to a shot to the back of the head without warning. They were talking about the moment of death. But what about the dying process?
Hospice is in the business of making your fantasies possible (within reason) when you are dying. With your help, they'll do it. including emphasizing comfort and peacefulness in a Hawaiian fantasy (complete with hot sand, audio of waves crashing, and coconut oil smells). This is the focus of the latest NYT piece on achieving a good death. So many of these scenarios involve bringing individuals back into nature (or bringing their deathbeds outside) — sleeping outside, hearing the sounds of nature, etc. A real commentary on a society that has strayed far from the natural world.
A blog on good death also attempts to take this ideal apart. It is worth thinking about.
Sorry for the delay on posting. I've been busy blogging for Ms. and finalizing my book on nonagenarians aging and home and making it work (forthcoming from Oxford University Press, 2011). Meanwhile, others have been weighing in on this question of where to live in their final chapter. "The Nancies," whom I know and respect, are featured in the New Old Age Blog (NYTimes), talking about their decision to buy a house and live together as friends, like the Golden Girls. Sociologist Mindy Fried talks about playing punch-the-balloon with her dad in assisted living. Acclaimed writer and editor Diana Athill also moved to assisted living in her 90s, and loves it. (Have you read her book, Somewhere Towards the End? It rocks.) My pal Christine, age 91, is thriving in a local green house, a nursing facility that emphasizes active living rather than dying. Finally, my students in Sociology of the Lifecourse say they want to live with their friends forever. How about you?
We all earn the right to be ourselves in our last years of life, at the very least. Right?
The new documentary, Generation Silent, asks six LGBT seniors if they will hide their lives to survive.
The filmmaker points out that many LGBT elders are currently aging at home, alone, without formal help, for fear of discrimination. This is their choice, but it is clearly a constrained choice, based on a lifetime of experience being singled out, and treated differently because of who they are.
Watching this three-minute trailer reminds me yet again that the goals of gay liberation haven't been achieved. We all want to age comfortably, with support, and without judgement. So let's support others who want to do the same.
The Caregiver Next Door, a piece in the New Old Age Blog (New York Times) by Paula Span, talks glowingly of a woman who is a one-woman senior service agency. She offers food, transport, and support to elders in one community of elders. I was happy to see this piece, as "new old age" isn't just about diet and exercise and brain teasers.
In my mind, social support is the answer to any problems we have in the 21st century. Reaching out to others makes a huge difference in all of our lives.
I know a woman who is an elder advocate in our community. She hosts town hall meetings and awards ceremonies honoring exemplary elders.
As for me, I'm part of a neighborhood that has decided to build community around our beloved nonagenarian neighbors. We do monthly potlucks, we deliver food, we celebrate birthdays. We operate like a social family. (All of us have family members scattered far and wide.) When you know your neighbors and take turns caring for each other, now that's living.
There's a new book out, by a 29-year-old. Here's how they're selling it: "I live with my 74-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down shit that he says."
Shit My Dad Says is a twitter feed, a book, and a new TV show.
If you ask me, its Grumpy Old Men 2010 (the I-have-something-to-prove-tough-guy-kind-of grumpiness). And because it fits nicely with all of those "old man" stereotypes and our national obsession with dysfunctionality, it seems to have captured over a million followers.
Barbara Ehrenreich, in her latest book Bright-Sided, makes an argument for kvetching. However, I'm not sure that she'd totally approve of this kind of aggressive cantankerousness.
On a related note, a friend of mine just told me that his grandmother seems to be enjoying her end-of-life license to kvetch. We talked about whether this is a freedom that comes from being too old to care about social inhibition as well as an awareness that what you say is generally ignored by all around you. Beware, though, of twittering kids, who might want to make money off of you.

(NASDAQ: ITRI), a world-leading technology and services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and water, announced that its customer, Otter Tail Power Company (OTPCo), won an Expanding Excellence Award for best analytics project at CS Week 2018 for its work with Itron to monitor for service interruptions and improve outage detection.

The award recognizes utilities that successfully complete a project that optimized analytics to address, remediate or enhance customer service.

OTPCo enlisted Itron to deliver reliability and real-time, outage-related outcomes through a managed services approach utilizing Itron Total Outcomes™, a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and managed services offering. Itron hosts the data, delivers reports and provides analysis to OTPCo in addition to providing reading services, outage reporting and billing data. This enables OTPCo's operations team to focus on its priorities while letting Itron handle the management of the system.
"With Itron's solution and managed services, we're able to know when, what, where and why service interruptions occur, improving our ability to initiate immediate and effective responses," said Rod Jensen, Otter Tail Power Company reliability engineer. "With this cloud-based managed services approach, we're taking the initial steps to improving grid reliability and efficiency while enhancing customer service and reducing site visits."
"With help from Itron, OTPCo has immediate awareness of service interruptions, which empowers the company to quickly respond and provide better service to its large, rural service territory," said Bruce Douglas, senior vice president of service delivery and outcomes enablement at Itron. "There is no doubt that Otter Tail Power Company's innovative project will not only affect future efficiencies at the utility, but also deliver increased customer satisfaction. The company is very deserving of this award."

A republic (from Latin: res publica) is a sovereign state or country which is organised with a form of government in which power resides in elected individuals representing the citizen body and government leaders exercise power according to the rule of law. In modern times, the definition of a republic is commonly limited to a government which excludes a monarch. Currently, 147 of the world's 206 sovereign states use the word "republic" as part of their official names; not all of these are republics in the sense of having elected governments, nor do all nations with elected governments use the word "republic" in their names.
Both modern and ancient republics vary widely in their ideology and composition. In the classical and medieval period of Europe, many states were fashioned on the Roman Republic, which referred to the governance of the city of Rome, between it having kings and emperors. The Italian medieval and Renaissance political tradition, today referred to as "civic humanism", is sometimes considered to derive directly from Roman republicans such as Sallust and Tacitus. However, Greek-influenced Roman authors, such as Polybius and Cicero, sometimes also used the term as a translation for the Greek politeia which could mean regime generally, but could also be applied to certain specific types of regime which did not exactly correspond to that of the Roman Republic. Republics were not equated with classical democracies such as Athens, but had a democratic aspect.
Republic? is the fifth studio album from Canadian stoner rock band Sheavy. It was produced by Billy Anderson.
Jim Martin observed in Terrorizer that "Republic? finds sHeavy rejuvenated, fighting fit and sounding vital and righteous beyond belief. Central to this unexpected rejuvenation is that this is no mere Sabbath tribute record. Although still firmly rooted in elephantine riffs, chugging doom-grooves and 70s shapes, Republic? marks a considerable broadening of this band's horizons, revelling in punkier drives and psychedelic expanses". While Alex Henderson also noted sHeavy's affinity for Sabbath, he said that Republic? differentiated itself from mere tribute due to "a sludginess that you won't find on Sabbath's classic '70s recordings - a sludginess that owes something to the Melvins as well as grunge".Blabbermouth's Scott Alisoglu praised the album for its "biting guitar tone, monster riffage, and a batch of cool solos make it worth cranking at top volume in the car stereo with a cooler of brew in the backseat", and suggested that "Unless you're looking for a reinvention of the wheel, there isn't much to bitch about on Republic?".
Republic (Moldovan: Република, Republica, Russian: Республика, Ukrainian: Республіка) is a political party in Transnistria. Although formerly the majority party in parliament, at the legislative elections of 11 December 2005 the party won 13 of the 43 seats and found itself in the minority for the first time since the founding of the country on September 2, 1990. In the 2010 elections, Republic won 16 seats. The party is affiliated with former President Igor Smirnov.
The Democratic Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Republican Party. Tracing its heritage back to Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party, the modern-day Democratic Party was founded around 1828, making it the world's oldest active party.
Once its dominant worldview was classical liberalism, but modern social liberalism became a force within the party with the candidatures of William Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson, who won the presidential nominations in 1896, 1900, 1908, 1912 and 1916. Since Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal coalition in the 1930s the Democratic Party has promoted a social-liberal platform, supporting social justice and a mixed economy. The Democrats' philosophy of modern liberalism advocates social and economic equality, along with the welfare state. It pursues a mixed economy by providing government intervention and regulation in the economy. These interventions, such as the introduction of social programs, support for labor unions, moves toward universal health care and equal opportunity, consumer protection, and environmental protection form the core of the party's economic policy.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (/ˈkɒŋɡoʊ/; French pronunciation: [kɔ̃ɡo]; French: République démocratique du Congo), also known as DR Congo, DRC, DROC, RDC, Congo-Kinshasa, or simply Congo is a country located in Central Africa. From 1971 to 1997 it was named Zaïre. The DRC borders the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, and South Sudan to the north; Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania to the east; Zambia and Angola to the south; and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It is the second largest country in Africa by area, the largest in Subsaharan Africa, and the eleventh largest in the world. With a population of over 75 million, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the most populated officially Francophone country, the fourth most populated nation in Africa and the nineteenth most populated country in the world.
The Congolese Civil Wars, which began in 1996, brought about the end of Mobutu Sese Seko's 31-year reign and devastated the country. The wars ultimately involved nine African nations, multiple groups of UN peacekeepers and twenty armed groups, and resulted in the deaths of 5.4 million people.
The member states of the African Union are divided into five geographic regions of the African Union.
The AU considers the African diaspora as its sixth region.

Rishi Sodhi died on January 25, 2006 in a fatal car accident at the tender age of 16. Rishi had all charm of life: he was an excellent student, a caring and loving son; had a firm faith in God, was a great brother and friend, and above all, a concerned human being. He had an unshaken belief in natural medicine and used it all his life and even suggested some products to his friends.
He was keen to go into dentistry and explore the possibility of bridging the eastern healing system with the western.The Rishi Sodhi Research Foundation is a non-profit organization started by Dr. Virender and Rekha Sodhi in loving memory of their son. The purpose of this Foundation is to sponsor research studies to help bridge the gap between different healing modalities, to reduce suffering and to fulfill Rishi's dream to serve humanity in a compassionate way. These studies will be conducted both in India and the United States.
Below are some of the main goals the foundation wishes to establish:
- Support Integrative Medicine
- Sponsor research studies that will utilize the technology of modern medicine and the healing powers of alternative medicine.
- Provide education to practitioners to combine the best of alternative and traditional medicine for the overall wellbeing of the patient
- Educate teens about safe driving practices.
Following activities has been done through Rishi Sodhi Research Foundation:
1. The Rishi Sodhi Cardiology Seminar
Bridging the gap between alternative and traditional medicine.
The Washington Association of Naturopathic Physicians supported CE credits to NDs for attending the first Annual "Rishi Sodhi Cardiology Seminar" on May 6th, 2006 at the McCormick & Schmicks in Seattle, WA. The purpose of this seminar was to fill in the undeniable gap between Alternative medicine and Traditional Allopathic medicine. This event brought together two highly respected speakers: Dr. Sanjeev Vaderah MD, FRCPC and Dr. Virender Sodhi MD (Ayurveda), ND.
2. Harnessing Inflammation
Bridging the gap between alternative and traditional medicine.
Dr.Thoms DePuydt MD, orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Mark Weber DC, a Chiropractor and Dr.Virender Sodhi MD ( Ayurved) ND presented a comprehensive approach in harnessing inflammation on October 10, 2007.
3.Hepatitis C, outcome of one year study on Ayurvedic treatment in combination with Interferon and Ribavirin
Bridging the gap between alternative and traditional medicine.
Principal Investigator Dr. Rakesh Sharma MD, Dr. Virender Sodhi MD(Ayurved) ND It is estimated that over 3.9 million people in the US and over 200 million people worldwide have HCV. Dr. Sodhi have been following number of patients with Hepatitis C for the last twenty years using Ayurvedic therapies. Almost all the patients noticed considerable drop in hepatitis C RNA PCR . Most of the patients on Ayurvedic nutritional therapies and Ayurvedic herbal supplements were able to keep the Hepatits C RNA PCR below 300,000 as long as they were following the suggested treatment. There are ten patients who also opted to get pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin along with Ayurvedic therapies and herbal supplements. All these patients became negative from the virus and experienced very few common side effects of the pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin treatment. A study was conducted through Rishi Sodhi Research foundation in India. Twenty one patients with hepatitis C positive between the ages of 27-35 were taken in to study. Out of twenty one patients one was also positive for hepatitis B. All have elevated liver enzymes. Genotyping was not done due to non-availability of the test in the area and also due to financial considerations.
Outcome of the study:
70% patients were free of viral load , 30% dropped viral load significantly up to one year. Liver function normalized after three months and remained normal through out the study. We used interferon instead of pegylated Interferon due to cost. We did not do genotyping testing due to non-availability and cost factor.

Imaging-based Phenotypic Screening is a extremely powerful and flexible approach to drug discovery and pre-clinical research.
Learn how imaging-based phenotypic assays work and what kind of information you can expect from working with us.
In the simple schematic shown to the right, untreated cells express a moderate amount of the marker protein (depicted in green), which appears to be cytoplasmic. The nuclei (depicted in blue) are typically labeled using Hoechst 33342 (learn why we use Hoechst here).
In the previous example levels of the protein marker depicted in green changed but it remained cytoplasmic. In this schematic, one condition leads to an increase in cytoplasmic levels while the other leads to accumulation of the protein marker in cytoplasmic puncta or spots.
After creating a region of interest (ROI) that covers the cytoplasm, puncta within that ROI can be detected, counted and their properties such as size, shape and intensity calculated.
Using this approach, it is possible to quantify changes in protein expression level AND formation of puncta in multiple ROIs for 4-5 markers in a multiplexed fashion relative to the nuclear signal.

Do you ever just feel like you're drowning in the stuff of life? The dishes, the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the caring-for-a-tiny-human and husband? I'm feeling that way a lot lately.
Nothing is right. My hormones are off the stinkin' charts. I'm tired. I'm achey. I need to be more active, but OMG I'M TIRED. And it's hot outside. My allergies and asthma are kicking my butt lately, too. I'm on medicine and it helps, but I still get winded far too easily. The resident tiny human is clingy, often whiny, and almost always hungry. My husband is here, but not here, and not always a fan of how/when things get done.
I feel like I'm drowning.
I definitely have more energy now than I did in my first trimester, but I'm still taking care of a toddler all day. Changing diapers, playing, feeding, cleaning, saying "no" a bazillion and one times, cuddling, translating, and often appeasing.
There are still boxes of yard sale stuff hanging around (things that didn't sell *sigh*), which honestly doesn't motivate me to do much. Because, really? Boxes are clutter and don't make my house look clean even when it is actually clean. It just seems pointless sometimes. Okay, a lot of the time.
There is organizing to be done, but nowhere to organize things and put them away. For instance, my sewing and craft stuff. No room for the desk that once held most of it. No shelves in the laundry room to store it. So it sits in a box in the soon-to-be-nursery awaiting a "home." The only thing out is my sewing machine, and all I've sewn in months are Charlotte's too-big pants and a new rank patch on one of Joe's PCs. I don't even have motivation to sew because of my lack of work space. UGH.
I still know next to no one in this town, but efforts are being made. (First time at PWOC this week!) I'm suffocating just knowing that I know so few people here. I may be an introvert, but I still need friends and people. Need. I just don't need them 24/7.
My hormones make me irritated (as previously mentioned).... Everyone and everything (at some point) irritates me - friends, family (sadly, they take the brunt of my hormones), the dog, something some random person did or said. I even know I'm not being completely rational, but it's hard not to feel the way your hormones say you should feel!
Basically? I feel like I'm getting next to nothing right. It's frustrating. I just feel defeated, which only propagates the issue. It doesn't make me want to do - or be - better. It just makes me want to sit here on the couch, wallow, and cry. I'm not even sure I know what to do anymore.
Or is it just the hormones talking?

There are many fallacies facing the cocoa pod and it's sinfully delicious off-springs. Cocoa powder, unsweetened, is exceptionally good for you. Chocolate, if the cocoa content is at least 70%, is a super food. Not only that, the cocoa nibs (also called cacao nibs, chocolate nibs or the heart) were once considered a throw away by-product from chocolate making. They are the broken cocoa bean particles remaining after the beans have been roasted, winnowed and cracked. They, too, join the rank of foods with high antioxidant properties.
What does all this have to do with your skin? Well, chocolate is good for your skin too. Not only does it possess tremendous benefits if you eat it, scientific studies have also found that using pure chocolate and pure chocolate by-products on your skin in the forms of treatments also offers surprising benefits!
Dark chocolate has plenty of antioxidants present in it. It is an antioxidant powerhouse! Antioxidants reduce our risk of both degenerative diseases and cancer. The large amount of these antioxidants is due to the purity of cocoa and dark chocolate. These compounds found in chocolate and cocoa are found in plants that promote healthy cellular tissue throughout the body. They are known as flavonoids. Dr. Carl Keen, a professor of nutrition and internal medicine at the University of California Davis says that "The concentration [of flavonoids in chocolate and cocoa] greatly exceeds what you'll find in most fruits and vegetables." Pure cocoa powder (with no sugar) has twice the amount of flavonols than dark chocolate and dark chocolate has twice the flavonols of milk chocolate. Antioxidants work with the skin to diffuse damage caused by both internal and external factors such as sun damage, pollution and smoking. Antioxidants also help to protect skin from future damaged.
Eating dark chocolate and cocoa protects your skin with natural defenses by maintaining collagen and reducing sun damage which normally leads to pre-mature aging of the skin. It also improves skin texture, and increases skin thickness, density and hydration.
Dark chocolate and cocoa also contains epicatechin which is a natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. That means the epicatechin helps to guard cells from free radical damage which causes skin to age.
Chocolate Honey Face Scrub
(Increases circulation and softens dry skin. Not suitable for oily skin.)
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon raw turbinado sugar
- 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil, macadamia nut oil, olive oil or sesame oil
Combine all the ingredients until it forms a paste. Gently apply to freshly washed skin and lightly massage with your finger tips for 30 seconds.
Rinse with warm water and you are left with soft, detoxified skin that smells wonderful and looks smooth and silky. Follow with your favorite moisturizer.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — With the rehab behind him and the pain gone, three-time New York Giants Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is returning to the NFL with an even bigger target on his back, and an outspoken Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback ready to take a shot at him.
Beckham doesn't mind. The NFL's highest paid receiver can't wait to play in a game for the first time since breaking his left ankle against the Chargers on Oct. 8.
Facing Jaguars All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey is a plus. And Beckham insists there isn't going to be a repeat of his Josh Norman debacle in 2016. The 25-year-old isn't taking the bait this time.
When Beckham gets on the field on Sunday, it will all be about playing the game he loves again.
"I can't stop thinking about it," Beckham said Wednesday. "I'm at home, I'll be in the middle of conversation, my mind doesn't get off this game. It's been a long time. There was a lot of hard work and preparation just to be able to get back to running and playing again. So, I'm excited. I'm real excited about this team and the opportunity we have in front of us."
Beckham has come a long way since the injury, one that put his career in jeopardy more than most people know. It took him months to be able to run, and to watch the videotape of his injury in its entirety. He would watch and turn it off before the hit.
"I didn't want to see it," Beckham said. "It reminded me of Joe Prothro at Alabama, that gruesome (leg) injury (2010) that you just don't want to see again. When it's you, it's even harder to watch, because you can feel the pain receptors hit your brain and you can feel it all over again. Just being able to watch that video comfortably and just see.
"I can watch it now any time."
During training camp, Beckham convinced the Giants he had returned to 100 percent and he was rewarded with a $95 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid player at his position.
"I don't think that the contract can do anymore for that target on my back," Beckham said. "Inflicted by the world, inflicted by myself. That target has been on there since I came in, so I don't know if a contract is going to help. That target increases and decreases. Guys have always wanted to hit me and be able to talk about it. It's just the reality of where I'm at in life. It's just something I've had to deal with."
Going against Ramsey will be a challenge but it probably won't be as personal as the one with Norman. The Redskins cornerback criticized Beckham before their 2016 game. Beckham drew three personal fouls in the contest and was suspended for a game.
He admits he was suckered in by all the pre-game trash talk.
"Yeah, but you took the cheese," he said. "So, I can't be mad at anything that happened. I bit on it, so it's all good."
Beckham actually developed a friendship working out with Ramsey in the offseason, and he says it is interesting they will be facing each other. Ramsey caused a stir during the summer by saying Beckham made the Giants go, not Eli Manning.
"He's got all the intangibles," Beckham said of Ramsey. "He's athletic and he's just good. Like I said, he's just one of the best in the league. He does it all."
Beckham has the same ability on the other side of the ball. He has 313 catches for 4,424 yards and 38 touchdowns in 47 games. He is already tied for second among all-time Giants' receivers with three 1,000-yard seasons. His 38 touchdown catches are the second most since entering NFL in 2014.
NOTES: LB Olivier Vernon didn't practice for the second straight day. Coach Pat Shurmur says the veteran is making great progress. ... Shurmur says all his running backs will get touches Sunday. ... The Giants signed LB Nate Stupar and waived free agent Rutgers RB Robert Martin.
