After some of the negativity on fan group messageboards about the inclusion of MLS Cup into the season ticket package it was refreshing to see a near capacity crowd show up for a Sunday evening kickoff in late November to watch FC Dallas vs Colorado Rapids. That suggests that even a relatively lacklustre MLS game lacking the appeal of big name DPs such as Thierry Henry and David Beckham is still of sufficient interest to the core TFC fanbase that they will make the effort to attend when the championship of the league is at stake. If the stadium had been only half full serious questions would have to be asked about TFC's continuing ability to draw 20,000 fans in the years ahead, now that the novelty factor has worn off. Now that the MLS season is finally over the focus turns to the rebuilding process that is now underway at BMO Field as TFC prepares for the 2011.
With news that the protected list for the expansion draft is going to be Frei, Conway, Gargan, Cann, Attakora, Harden, Gomez, LaBrocca, Peterson, DeRosario and Santos the emphasis with the exception of DeRosario appears to have been placed on keeping relatively inexpensive players who can be relied upon to do a solid job if called upon. It will interesting to see if Julian DeGuzman takes the hint and tries to negotiate an exit from MLS and a return to Europe after being left unprotected (assuming of course that both Vancouver and Portland decide against selecting him) and whether Chad Barrett's will be a candidate for the league's new reentry draft process next month if the key issue is that TFC management see him as being overpaid.
Assuming Mo Johnston hasn't left any nasty surprises in terms of guaranteed contracts where Hscanovics, Usanov and Saric are concerned, chances are there will be a massive clearout of the import players given Nane and Mista are also highly likely to be headed for the exit. It is now imperative, therefore, that Jurgen Klinsmann and Tom Anselmi identify and appoint the new GM as soon as possible. For 2011 to be a successful season rather than an exercise in rebuilding the new regime will need to start filling out the roster again with players suited to their preferred style of play from early January onwards based on the Superdraft, free agent signings and the international transfer market.
Now that Klinsmann's presence has helped to boost season ticket sales back over 16,000 again and the key issue at hand for MLSE will once again be the playing and coaching side of TFC's operations, hopefully the powers that be at BMO Field will have noticed that the success of both the Colorado Rapids and FC Dallas was achieved by relative no names in coaching terms who had been involved in North American soccer to some degree prior to being appointed. A month ago Eric Soler and Hans Backe would probably have been mentioned as the management team to emulate but since then NYRB have made a hasty exit from the playoffs after Backe appeared to be outcoached by the Earthquakes' Frank Yallop. Hopefully TFC will now look closer to home for their new management team rather than trying to find a big name like those mentioned by Gerry Dobson a few weeks ago (i.e. Roberto Donadoni, Franco Baresi, Carlos Queiroz, Iain Dowie), who are probably only making themselves available because their careers are very much on a downward trajectory right now. The scale of the rebuild that is required at TFC this offseason is not something that should be attempted by a newcomer to the league.
Colin Clarke of the Puerto Rico Islanders would be the ideal choice, in my opinion. Many thought he was unlucky to be sacked by FC Dallas back in 2006 after impressive regular season performances and his subsequent record with the Puerto Rico Islanders at both the USL-D1/USSF-D2 level and in the CONCACAF Champions league suggests that he has now learned how to achieve success in a playoff type format as well. The Islanders won the USSF-D2 title this season after all. A key stumbling block could be whether MLSE would be prepared to pay the Islanders the compensation that would probably be required but it is worth bearing in mind that the best possible candidates for a job will usually not be found amongst the ranks of the unemployed because their services will already be very much in demand. If I were calling the shots at TFC I would appoint Colin Clarke to a shared coach and GM role similar to that of the manager at a British club. Bruce Arena does this in LA as does Sigi Schmid in Seattle so there are precedents for it working well in an MLS context. The key then would be to find a high quality assistant coach to take a larger share of the workload on the training field than would be normal under a GM and head coach model of operations with Clarke being the one to make that appointment and also being allowed to decide who to retain and who to discard where the current coaching staff is concerned.

Welcome to Prof. Hernández-Maldonado's Research Group Homepage!
Intro Video (In Spanish / En Español)
The Nanoporous Sorbents and Adsorption Lab (NSSAL) at the University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez focuses on the development and tailoring of new porous materials for chemical separation and recovery processes at ambient or mild conditions. The challenge is to synthesize new materials with specific framework topologies and novel compositions based on templated hydrothermal paths or surface functionalization.
Our synthesis efforts include metal substituted aluminophosphates (MAPOs), flexible titaniumsilicates(TS), mesoporous silica, coordination polymers and metal organic frameworks (MOFs). In terms of applications, we are interested in carbon dioxide removal in closed-systems, ultrapurification of light gas mixtures, and removal of emerging organic contaminants from potable water sources, just to mention a few.

Very very basic question about Mathematica expressions
- To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net
- Subject: [mg111090] Very very basic question about Mathematica expressions
- From: Sam Takoy <sam.takoy at yahoo.com>
- Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:42:13 -0400 (EDT)
Hi, I find that I don't understand a very basic thing about the building blocks of Mathematica. When the first command is s = x + h I figured that (string?) "s" represents (string?) "x+h". This theory pans out when one tries s^2 or D[s, x] or Integrate[s, {x, 0, h}] and s /. h -> 1 But then by doesn't this work: Manipulate[ Plot[s, {x, 0, h}], {h, 0.1, 1}] Many thanks in advance!

Enroll your children for the best education at Riverside
Riverside College runs both the British and Nigerian curricula simultaneously. Our teaching team consists of teachers who are qualified to teach both curricula effectively and efficiently. Students are encouraged to partake in the British curriculum as it is student friendly. The text books for this programme are designed such that students can study on their own without the teachers' assistance. Suffice it to say that the text books are student-oriented.
The Nigeria curriculum prepares students for SSCE (Senior Secondary Certificate Examination), which is organized by WAEC and NECO, and BECE (Basic Education Certificate Examination) for junior secondary school. The subjects offered for these examinations are as follows:
The British curriculum prepares students for Check-point Examination which is conducted during the 9th year of junior secondary school, and IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) which is written in the 11th year of senior secondary school. Both examinations are organized by CIE (Cambridge International Examination). The examinations take place in May/June and October/November respectively just like the Nigerian examinations.
The subjects for Check-point examination are English language, Mathematics and Science. That of IGCSE is broader, but students are advised to choose subjects relevant to their planned course of study in the university. French and ICT are compulsory.
Examinations at Riverside College are computer based (CBE), it is pertinent therefore, that each student has a mini laptop for this. All our students MUST offer Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as this prepares them for professional courses such as Oracle, Java, etc.

Every 51 minutes, other person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for approximately one-third of all fatalities.
You can locate more drunk driving statistics upon the Mothers against Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.
Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the slant of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns feat to educate American drivers virtually drunk driving? This article will come up with the money for a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private fascination groups, advocating for widespread answer of something called buzzed driving. therefore what is it?
Buzzed driving is a definitely simple concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed shortly by the bloodstream and common tests, taking into consideration a breathalyzer, can play a part the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving bearing in mind a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or difficult is illegal in all state. At that concentration, drivers approximately invariably experience sedation and slower nod times. In other words, its helpfully dangerous to steer when that much alcohol in your system.
Buzzed driving is conveniently having a BAC degrade than 0.08% but sophisticated than 0.00%.
One Beer Wont bend The pretension I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One tab from UC San Diego that evaluated accident reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than moderate drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, far more risky than driving sober.
The genuine misery is that American play-act and public policy tend to look upon 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. under that origin and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a crash increases steadily and well from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no rude transition bearing in mind comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is secure in the unmodified analysis.
The version from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal cause offense Prevention. You can get into a summary here.
The Worlds Stance on Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.
China has a legitimate limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances authenticated limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia all have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized as soon as unfriendly fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds by yourself regions to use 0.08% BAC as its genuine limit.
Has The stir up opinion Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public serve announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving preparedness campaign. on their website, they financial credit that their ads reached nearly one half of every American adults greater than the age of 21. And that there was a significant enlargement in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned very nearly the business of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And even if public preparedness is entirely important, Americas legislators have yet to respond to our supplementary harmony of buzzed driving. In fact, like most allow in governments talk to to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers under 21 or direct helpfully that they wont tolerate any driver afterward a BAC beyond 0.08%.
Only get older will tell whether or not state governments follow through on the current research. back up in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas authenticated limit to 0.05%, but no own up has yet to concentrate on this stricter limit.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another acceptance has been to contextualize drunk driving, to clarify it in terms of unconventional tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol ill-treatment and abuse. The underlying premise to this whisk is that some drunk drivers accomplish vehicles though impaired because (in as a result many words) they cant back it. And if you get substance dependent persons treatment, you might put up with some impaired drivers off the road in the same gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In line with recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more description than contrast between alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This heritage of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a assay released by the National Institute upon Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of all drivers who were killed in crashes and tested determined for drugs then had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the burden is mixed. And the solution might be, too.

life has your answers...and Emerson...... xoxo SOS
Have you shared SOUL with a friend today.....join and let's wake up together!
"Sometimes we get irritated when others (the media, your parents, politicians) come from a limited and controlling place. You have 2 choices: stay irritated or take leadership for another possibility." J.Hough
Hey you. Still in Detroit.......and today was fascinating. We were in a media training course.....and today we had to look at our beliefs about media. Much of what we all shared was about media being sensationalizing, negative and filled with disturbing news. Kind of like some relationships where we feel disappointed that people are operating from fear and control. It's not your job to change the way people think....or the way that media or politicians do their jobs. However, you do have an opportunity to lead....and leave the door open for another possibility for change and healing. Can you feel that it's possible?
SOUL Whispers -
Media is not an entity....people are the media. Politicians are not an entity, people are politicians. Well, if you are a person...and they are people.....then we can each individually, energetically or physically assist the paradigm to change. You have the capacity to lead.......with very little effort. Simply by knowing something else is possible, you already have caused a shift.
Let Go of the Oars -
Who and what can you give up being righteous about.........to leave the door open for another possibility. Hey, it beats the alternative!
I have to admit, I'm being righteous......about your magnificent nature. I think I'm good with that, though! xoxo The Sister of Soul

Question: How do I import a CSV, XML, or JSON file into eNICQ 6?
Answer: With eNICQ 6 you can import patient data using CSV, XML, or JSON files.
To import a file click Advanced Menu Options (the gear icon in the top right) and select Import Infant Records:
Click Browse.
Browse to the location of the saved file. You can use the dropdown in the bottom right to show just the file type of the one you're trying to import.
Select the file, click Open, and then click Evaluate:
The results of the evaluation will then appear. If a record is missing the Hospital Number, Patient ID, Date of Birth, Died in Delivery, or Location of Birth it will not be imported. If you are getting errors you can click on the View Import Log for more details. If everything looks good then click Import.
Note: Currently if you see this box with "The following error occurred:" But you see Total Rows in file is the same as total valid rows, you are OK to import. We are aware of this and the message will be corrected in a future release of eNICQ 6
Handling Data Import Problems

Playing With Knives
I'm done with apologies for not answering my emails on time, for not keeping up-to-date on Facebook or for not returning phone calls.
From now on, I'm just sending this picture.
Honestly, I took FIVE MINUTES to try to catch up on some emails today - it had been five days since I'd checked them - when the doorbell rang to disrupt me. After answering the door, to inform the next-door-neighbor that my daughter was already outside playing, I noticed an empty cheese package lying on the play table. Following the trail of cheese into the kitchen I found Aidan and Matthew, both completely naked, balanced precariously on their plastic play chairs, busily and happily cutting strawberries they had found in the refrigerator - with steak knives.
I swear, I am not making this stuff up. (Frankly, I'm just not that creative!)
I didn't freak - in fact I grabbed the camera for a photo - before calmly extricating the sharp knives from their grubby little palms. There was no doubt in my mind I would not be finishing up those emails - and I wasn't wasting any time feeling guilty about it either. I have one friend who's a pediatric nurse and another whose sister is a plastic surgeon - and well, it didn't take either of their horror stories to make me know how close I was to disaster here. Small wobbly chairs, big sharp knives, happy little naked people.
My job is to keep those happy little naked people happy, and safe. Not to mention clothed and fed, but what the hey.
I'll admit I returned to finish up the last email I was working on before setting out a light dinner of cheese, strawberries and yoghurt on the balcony. When I got there, Aidan proudly pointed to the cheese that he had torn to shreds and fed into the flowerpot that has been festering in the corner for the past couple of weeks. It's been raining a lot lately and the empty pot has rapidly filled with rain water, moss, dirt and little creepy crawlies that I had just been looking at this morning and planning to throw overboard the next time the downstairs neighbors weren't home. (Sh - it's okay - they don't read my blog!)
I pay dearly for moments alone at the computer. The creepy crawlies were fed and I had to reach my hand into something that I would rather not have reached my hand into - and remember, I'm a veterinarian.
I'd spent the earlier part of the afternoon chasing Aidan and Matthew around town - literally ALL around town - for one and a half hours on their Laufrads, those little bikes without pedals they got for their third birthday. I've gone from pushing a heavy double stroller, to dragging two slow toddlers, to running as fast as I can after them as they carreen down the hills into oncoming traffic. It's not pretty.
But it's my job and it's my life right now. I kinda like it too. I've always liked living life on the edge. I've gone from nurturing my children to just trying to keep up with them. And yes, I am well aware that it is only going to get worse.
I keep documenting the moments - and yes, I'm behind on developing the photos too. And I try to keep the house clean (a thankless task), the laundry done (a neverending battle) and the meals made three times a day. I read, color, correct, explain, educate, entertain: I try to make their little lives varied and fun.
All of which means I have to be there.
I keep wondering when it's going to hit me that I'm a grown-up. I know my parents keep wondering when I'll start acting like one. But you know what? Seeing those knives today put a lot in perspective for me. What I have here could be over like that. And it's up to me to see that it's not. Is that being a grown-up? I dont' know - all I know is that I've got to get off the computer now and do something really important - keep an eye on the kids.
I'm going out to play now. I'll grow up after I make sure my kids do too.

Thankfully nothing bad happened, but it must have really been a scary moment. If I close my eyes to sneeze, I find Seth standing on the countertop! They are so sneaky and fast!ReplyDelete
I have an essay about Ryan - age 3 - and Andrew painting all over the walls in our apt in Annemasse - I took a WHOLE HOUR to write something on the computer and...well the mural extended from the bathroom into the hallway and kitchen. Got a good essay out of it though.ReplyDelete
Have you tried sneezing with your eyes open? Just more proof that God is a FATHER, not a mother - tiny glitch in the system there!!!

Hey everybody A^2 here with your monthly club update! There are a few things on the menu for this update so bare with me, it might get a touch long!
First things first! For those of you that haven't made it to a club night lately or who i haven't talked to personally we're going to be having a new years type gamin event over at CB's on the 2nd (and maybe on the night of the 1st but we're not sure yet.) Games being played will be Mordhiem, Hordes/warmachine, Fantasy, and perhaps necromunda, not to mention some rad board games. Everyone is welcome, make sure you bring your figs and lets bring in the new year in true gamer style!
lately we've been meeting up at CB's house to partake in our weekly, most of the time we get things started around 87, and as always it's an open invitation, just toss me an email if you need directions or nights!
Our Local gaming store (Outer Planes) has recently really stepped it up! They are ordering fantasy stuff and 40k stuff. I've even seen some new Warmachine stuff! All that being said there is a new fantasy league that is they are setting up. I've volunteered my services to help organize said league. They are starting off relatively small (1500 points) and anyone interested in hearing further in this should either talk to Joe at OP or email directly.
There is also a league that CB and I are thinking about joining that takes place in Ukiah (of all places) once Saturday of the month. This game is a little bit bigger, around 3k points, but the people that are involved are mostly friends to OP and Powers of the North Members (i.e. Greg and Casey).
This brings me to the next topic, Powers of the North 40k monthly event is at an end after 3 years. While said, it also presents our club a unique opportunity to run some cool events out at the vets. Any interest in this? I know for sure Chris and I will be doing some fantasy down there.
At the beginning of the new year I am going to be ordering my club shirt as CB and I will be putting in an appearance at gamescape North to Demo Wyrd miniatures Malifaux game, and I want to show off my pride in my group! Anyone interested in putting in an order as well should give me a call or send me an email, and anyone interested in coming with CB and I to Gamescape for the demo should do the same to find out about dates and driving arrangements!
Lastly, I was wondering if there was any interest in doing a club miniature exchange? We could do either a painted or unpainted custom miniature exchange that would prvide us some fun. If there is any interest in doing something like this I can write out some more specific details.
Well is you've actually read all the stuff up there many thanks, and I hope to see each and everyone of you guys on the Second of January for some fun times!
Many thanks brothers, and my wishes for a fantastic new year!
Sargent at Arms,

As Jay prepares for Billy's surprise 50th birthday party, he doesn't know that Janine's already told the birthday boy about the plans. However, Billy's preoccupied by the thought of the impending trial for Jase's murder. Worried that Jay will discover the truth about what happened the night his father died, Billy confides in Dawn. After opening Jay's present, Billy tells Jay that they'll soon receive a visit from a police liaison officer in connection with the trial. Later at The Vic, his party is in full swing. As Billy blows out the candles on his cake and makes a wish, he opens his eyes to see Dawn and Garry holding Janet and William.
As Billy makes a speech, a drunken Phil stumbles into the bar and begins throwing insults at his cousin. Ronnie, however, puts him to bed. Billy's saddened when he later sees Jay crying to Dawn. Heading over to Dot's to check on the kids, Billy's clearly unhappy. Unable to keep his feelings hidden any longer, Billy breaks down and confesses to Dot what happened the night Jase died - totally unaware that Nick's heard every word.
Meanwhile, Shirley takes the opportunity to apologise to Heather for Phil's behaviour and not being there when she needed her. To make it up to her, Shirley agrees to cook them a meal. After she's been shopping, Shirley returns to the flat and Phil invites himself along. Following a minor disagreement, Phil's about to leave but Shirley reluctantly tempts him back with a drink. When Heather arrives to find the flat in a disgusting state, she sees an inebriated Phil follow Shirley out of the bedroom. As Phil leaves, Heather shocks Shirley by announcing that she wants to move out.
Elsewhere, Masood and Zainab agree not to argue about Syed anymore; Janine takes pleasure in telling Zainab that Syed has a girlfriend; and Dr Al Jenkins arrives on the Square.

Night Has Come – Belgian premiere on FilmFest Gent
An anonymous old man wakes up in a sanatorium at an unspecified location. He suffers from amnesia induced by a virus. The people call it the "night" because it steals memories and leaves only darkness. The State steps in with a new program that can store memories and begins to harvest them all, "just in case." But is the virus really of natural origin? Or was it engineered to provide the next generation with a fresh start (and the State with an easily controlled population)? Quarantine, resistance, riots… Slowly but surely, the old man starts questioning the authenticity of his own memories, while growing increasingly conscious of another truth. Essayistic and experimental, NIGHT HAS COME takes you on a fictional journey only a step away from reality.
For this film Peter Van Goethem assembled Royal Belgian Film Archive footage from the last century to create an original story, narrated by a fictional man as a memory piece. The movie alternates between amateur footage and footage of historical events that took place in Brussels. The fragments about Brussels were decontextualized, creating a post-apocalyptic tale tackling philosophical questions that easily competes with more traditional post-apo features.

Hi everybody,
My name is Martin and I am an Inglese climber who is planning on spending a few months in Chile from the late part of November until Feb / March time. I will be based in Los Andes / Rio Blanco (not far from ski resort of Portillo / close enough to Santiago if you dont know the area) and will be looking to meet up with people who are in the area of region V who are looking for people to trek / climb with. This is my third visit to this area so I have a pretty good idea of things to do and am Idealy looking for other people / groups to join and share my time with. I will also be planning on traveling further south down to Patagonia and places in between in fact I am very flexible with my plans as time is not so much of a problem for me on this trip.
I am also hoping to have the use of a 4x4 during my stay and certainly will have around where I am based so getting around will be made very simple.
I have plenty of trekking / climbing experience having spent time climbing in the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, and South and North America over the past 10 years, and enjoy everything from sunny days on rock to freezing cold icefalls, hiking / camping in remote wild places, climbing on mountains large and small, infact just about anything to do with being outdoors and the beautifull places I get to visit!
So please contact me if you are planning a trip over in the next few months and you might be interested in meeting up with me.
Kind Regards Martin

Elzetta – Win It Before You Can Buy It
Elzetta Design has offered limited edition lights since 2010 and 2016 is no different….with one exception. One lucky winner will win a limited edition light before they are even available to purchase.
Want to win one? There are 2 easy steps:
Like the Elzetta Facebook Page (CLICK HERE) and
Fill out a form (CLICK HERE).
Press Release: Elzetta Design Mini-CQB Now Shipping
Elzetta Design, LLC is pleased to announce that the new Mini-CQB Modular Weaponlights are now shipping and production models are even better than promised.
The Mini-CQB delivers 375 lumens (60 more lumens than previously revealed) of neutral-tint white light from a single CR123A battery. As the name implies this new weaponlight is designed specifically for close quarters battle engagements and home defense applications.
With its high-lumen/low-candela output, the Mini-CQB produces an effective wall of light to optimize threat assessment and situational awareness. The Mini-CQB is available with any of six Tailcaps (Rotary, Click, Alpha High/Low, High/Strobe, or Tape Switch with 5″ or 12″ Cable). It is also available with three ambidextrous attachment mechanisms; M-1913 Picatinny, Keymod/M-LOK™, and MOE™ handguards. The Keymod/M-LOK™ system fits both mounting systems by utilizing patent-pending reversible nuts in one direction for Keymod and flipped for M-LOK™.
The Mini-CQB Weaponlights join Elzetta Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie Modular Flashlights as The Toughest Flashlights on the Planet, featuring fully-potted electronics and solid-acrylic optical lenses (no reflectors). Mini-CQB Weaponlights weigh less than 5 oz. and start at just $210 MSRP. Like all Elzetta products, Mini-CQB Weaponlights are Made in USA with a lifetime guarantee.
For more information, please visit: http://www.elzetta.com
SHOT Show 2015 – Elzetta
New from Elzetta Design for 2015 is their Mini CQB Light. The Mini CQB is based off of their "Alpha" model and is compatible with all of the "Alpha" light components and is in partnership with Impact Weapons Components (IWC). The single CR123 battery light boasts an amazing 315 lumens and most impressively, will mount to Picatinny, Key-Mod, and M-Lok rails by switching out the interchangable rail attachment point, which will be sold separately.
Elzetta is taking pre-orders now and you can expect them to be available around late-March to early-April 2015.
The Mini CQB will run $235 for the M-Lok and Key-Mod models and $210 for the Picatinny model.
For more information, visit Elzetta Design at http://www.elzetta.com/.
Dave Barnett from Elzetta Design covers Beam Tint
Check out this video from Elzetta Design, featuring Dave Barnett. He does a great job explaining the difference in the quality of beam tint and explains why some high-lumen lights will have a blue tint and why the Elzetta lights do not.
Elzetta's Instagram Photo Contest
Elzetta is having a photo contest on Instagram for your chance to win an Elzetta Modular Flashlight of your choice.
As the instructions above imply, post a photo of your Elzetta product on Instagram with the hashtag #ToughestFlashlighOnThePlanet by August 31 and the winner will be picked by none other than Top Shot Champ Dustin Ellermann.
As a huge Elzetta supporter and photographer myself, let me give you a few tips to better your chances…
- Be Creative. A generic shot of the light on your floor will not be noticed.
- Be Tough. Elzetta lights are the toughest lights you will find out there. Show them in action and how tough they are. A shot of them lying on bubble wrap or on a bed of cotton will probably not win you any points.
- Be Bold. If thousands of entries look the same, but one stands out with how bold it is, you may have a better chance.
Good luck!
Elzetta Design – Tactical Lighting Redefined
Hitting the tactical market in 2007, Elzetta Design has become one of the most respected names in high quality and durable lighting. Improving drastically with LED technology over the miniature incandescent bulbs of the past, handheld lights are no longer what they were a decade ago. Available in three different body lengths, the Alpha (1 cell), the Bravo (2 cell), and the Charlie (3 cell), the configurations of the Elzetta lights are nearly endless by changing the lens, bezel and tail cap options.
The lights are available with the following options by body style:
Alpha Light (1 Cell)
- Lens: Standard or Flood
- Bezel: Standard or Crenellated
- Tail Cap: Rotary, Click, Alpha High-Low, High-Strobe, Remote Tape Switch (12″ cable), or Remote Tape Switch (5″ cable)
- Custom Laser Engraving
Bravo Light (2 Cell)
- Lens: Malkoff M60 (235 lumen – 2.5 hour), Malkoff M60F (235 lumen flood – 2.5 hour), AVS Module (650 lumen), or AVS Module (650 lumen flood)
- Bezel: Standard, Low Profile, Crenellated, Standard (AVS), or Crenellated (AVS)
- Tail Cap: Rotary, Click, High-Low, High-Strobe, Remote Tape Switch (12″ cable), or Remote Tape Switch (5″ cable)
- Custom Laser Engraving
Charlie Light (3 Cell)
- Lens: Malkoff M60 (235 lumen – 3.7 hour), Malkoff M60F (235 lumen flood – 3.7 hour), AVS Module (900 lumen), or AVS Module (900 lumen flood)
- Bezel: Standard, Low Profile, Crenellated, Standard (AVS), or Crenellated (AVS)
- Tail Cap: Rotary, Click, High-Low, High-Strobe, Remote Tape Switch (12″ cable), or Remote Tape Switch (5″ cable)
- Custom Laser Engraving
As you can see from the options above the lumens available on the Elzetta lights range from 235 to 900 lumens. There is a misnomer with how lumens work and some believe that lumens=brightness, when in fact lumens are how much light is thrown from the lens regardless of how wide the spread is. I could reinvent the wheel in explaining this idea, but Elzetta's Dave Barnett does a much better job of explanation it in this video.
You could just take my word that the Elzetta lights are really tougher than nails, or you could watch a few videos showing proof. The first video is one I shot at SHOT Show 2011 which shows Dave Barnett using an Elzetta light, while turned on, as a hammer to punch a nail into a 2×4. The remainder of the video shows Elzetta's product line as it was 3 years ago. There have been some updates and additions since then. The second video is from Dustin Ellermann, you know, the guy from Top Shot, where he takes an Elzetta light and drops it out of a helicopter from 300 feet onto concrete.
If these videos are not proof enough, there are more, like the one where Dave Barnett submerges an Elzetta light under water, disassembles it, and reassembles it under water with full functionality afterward. Overall, these lights are solid, will hold up to a lifetime of use and abuse, and will provide a lot of light throw when and where you need it. I personally carry a Bravo light with a High Output AVS Module (600 Lumen) on my duty belt and only need to replace the batteries (2x CR123's) about once a month while working swing shift. I'm sure I would need to replace them more often if I were working nights. Elzetta also offers various mounts for their lights such as the ZRX Lightweight Mount and the ZFH1500. Both of these mounts will accept a 1 inch in diameter light. The ZRX will fit in any picatinny rail slot and any weight gain with this mount is not noticeable at just 1.1 oz.
Elzetta ZRX Lightweight Light Mount The ZFH1500 Light Mount allows the light to be mounted in the 6 o'clock position under the barrel while attached to the open space of a standard A1 or A2 front sight base. The tail cap of the light is exposed in the back, allowing for ease of use. A pressure switch tail cap can also be installed on any of the Elzetta lights.
If you are looking for a light that will last you long enough to hand down to your grand-kids, then Elzetta is a great option for you to rely on for years to come. For more information on Elzetta or to purchase any of their products, please visit http://www.elzetta.com.

Getting rid of stuff is very hard to do. It takes time; it can be very overwhelming, and most never know where to start or exactly how to chart or how to go about it.
In her book Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui, Karen Kingston says, "Life is constant change. So when something comes into your life enjoy it, use it well, and when it is time, let it go. Just because you own something, it doesn't mean that you have to keep it forever. You are just a temporary custodian of many things as they pass through your life."
Whether you realize it or not, you have a relationship with everything you own. Each possession connects us with specific people, events or seasons in our lives. Deciding what to toss means connecting with each object, confronting its place in our lives and deciding what to do with it.
You probably have many different reasons for holding on to the clutter. It takes courage to let go, but if you don't let go of old things, you can't make room for new things. Here are some common reasons for not letting go:
Emotional attachment.
I can't part with this … Remember, you can part with an item and still keep the memories
Status and security.
Your thoughts create your future. If you get rid of something thinking you will need it again as soon as you throw it away, chances are that's what will happen! Trust that if you need this item in the future the universe will provide a better version.
Advertisers say you need it.
Our society is constantly bombarded with messages from advertising companies that say we need this and we need that. Next time an ad gives you the urge to buy something, stop and ask yourself if this item will be used continuously, or if it will bring you joy for more than two months. If you answer yes to one of these questions, it may be worth purchasing. If not, you will probably forget all about it in a week.
The mess is a distraction.
Some people like to cover themselves with clutter and keep busy with their mess to avoid their deep-down emotions. If this is where you are at, address your emotional issues first. Once you've healed your emotions, you'll be more focused to organize and your results will last longer.
You want your money's worth.
Owning an object is not the same as getting a return on your investment. You have to actually use it for it to be valuable to you. As you clear your clutter, take heart. The Internet and consignment shops make it easy to sell your unwanted belongings, so you can earn some money in addition to the satisfaction of clearing clutter.

Doctor insights on:
Post Nasal Drip
Post Nasal Drip (Overview)
Post nasal drip is a term used to describe the common symptoms of sore throat and cough in the presence of a runny nose with sufferers experiencing a worsening of symptoms at night with mild relief during the day.

This year we have three students enrolled in AP art. Having this small cohort of students in a single class together is really exciting. We plan on taking numerous field trips to galleries and museums. Next week, each student is going to share a lesson based on their individual strengths. Here they are at work:
October 5th, 2018
It's so nice to be back! Kids bounce into the art room ready to act on their creative ideas. This fall, we've had a few "have to do" assignments across the grades.
2018 Congressional Art Show
Each year, high school students across the country enter their state's congressional art show. Then 50 pieces of high school art are selected for an exhibition in Washington D.C. This tradition was started by the former Vermont senator Jim Jeffords. This was the first year that I have entered Cabot High School students. Almost 200 artworks from 50+ Vermont high schools were on display. Our small school had high quality pieces that not only fit in but stood out among the rest of the artworks on display. Of those works, seven of them received special awards. Cabot's Evlyn Hislop was awarded a "Judges Choice" award. We travelled to Montpelier for the award show and the judge who selected her work commented on Evlyn's skill in creating a detailed pen and ink portrait and how her subtle use of color and text in her collaged background supported her content.
Last spring, exciting things happened for the art students across all grade levels. I have a few photos to share of some of our highlights: the 3rd & 4th graders created recycled sea creatures for their PBL Ocean project, documentation of the infectious play and experimenting of our 5th and 6th graders who made paper, masking tape sculptures, movies and more, and high school students who showed work at the congressional art show.

Unique College Essays Get Students Into Ivy League Colleges
January 10, 2018
Everyone loves Papa Johns pizza but who knew a girl who wrote about her love for it for her college essay would get her into Yale University? When it comes to applying to colleges, an important part of the process is writing a memorable essay. Many students' unique essays are getting them into the college of their dreams.
As reported by News Max, a Tennessee college applicant, Carolina Williams, received a personalized acceptance letter from the admissions officer of Yale University that stated, "I am so glad I had the opportunity to read your application. As someone who kept trying to read books for fun on top of thousands of applications this winter, I really loved your essay on reading 100 books in a year and I laughed so hard on your pizza essay".
Williams told Study Breaks, "The prompt was really simple, it just asked me to write about what I love to do, and I love ordering pizza; everyone knows that about me. At first I thought I thought, 'Oh, well maybe that's not a good topic but I thought I'd just go with it because I thought it would be funny, and I like to think of myself as a funny person," when asked about how she thought of writing about her love for ordering pizza.
With admission officers having to read so many essays, they'll want to pick the applicants that stand out and one of the best ways to do that is be very unique with the essay topics.
Another applicant, Brittany Stinson, who wrote her essay on her experiences in Costco, was accepted into five Ivy League schools including Yale, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, and Cornell in addition to several prestigious schools such as Stanford, John Hopkins University, Boston University, and New York University according to Business Insider.
"The essay is really where it's important to show personality and what gets you going. I knew that an essay about Costco would certainly be memorable— whether or not the admissions' officer liked it or not," Stinson stated, as reported by ABC News.
Stanford University also accepted Ziad Ahmed after he answered the question on his application, "What matters to you, and why?" with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter repeated a hundred times.
With students like these writing about Papa Johns pizza and Costco, being the ones getting into the Ivy League schools, it shows how much it can help to have a funny and entertaining essay when applying to colleges.

European Lean Educator Conference 2016
University of Buckingham will be hosting the 2016 European Lean Educator Conference at its campus in Buckingham, UK. (MK18 1AL)
We are very pleased to be hosting this year's conference and have now finalised the programme - and I cannot remember such an exciting line-up of speakers in my 30 years of attending and organising such events!
The keynote speakers include leading thinkers and innovators in their fields, there's a rich diversity of topics in the workshop sessions, speakers from across the globe and representatives from many service sectors, from broadcasting, banking, legal, healthcare to academia.
I'm sure it's going to be a fantastic learning opportunity, as well as offering great networking - and I'm certainly looking forward to catching up with many old friends.
Professor John Bicheno
Conference Chairman
Keynote speakers
Click here for Day 1 Keynote Speaker Itinerary
- Professor Darrell Mann, one of the world's foremost authorities on TRIZ and a leading consultant, will discuss Lean innovation, and the 'counter-intuitives' that challenge, and sometimes defeat, Lean thinkers. As Lean moves strongly into innovation and design, Darrell will bring examples from the great innovative companies.
- Teresa Hattingh, prize winning lecturer in industrial engineering from Johannesburg, will explain how she enthuses engineering students about Lean. (I have personal experience of the way she has converted engineering students from all branches to become Lean advocates.)
- Professor John Seddon of Vanguard Consulting Ltd is a well-known provocateur. Agree or disagree with his views on Lean service, you will certainly be challenged.
- Professor Christoph Roser, who has worked with Toyota in Japan, and the author of the stimulating web site 'AllAboutLean.com' (Do take a look!), will call on his unique experiences with Toyota and others as he explains what we have learned and mis-learned about the origins of Lean.
- Patrick Graupp, Master TWI trainer, Shingo prize winner and author, (and certainly the best trainer I have ever experienced), will be bringing us up to date on TWI developments in service, and particularly in health care.
- Professor Pauline Found, Shingo prize winner, will share her experience in the 'Lean is Green' area, as she combines it with Kata thinking. Pauline supervised a recent excellent PhD project in the Lean green area.
- Belinda Waldock of 'Lean on the Beach' fame, and author of a bestselling book in the Lean and Agile area, will bring her great enthusiasm to bear as she explains about how Lean can work with Agile in the strongly emerging areas of software and service.
- Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice Chancellor of Buckingham University and a renowned education reformer will set the scene on the challenges and opportunities to education in general, and Lean in particular.
- Professor Tony Bendell, who has been a leading figure in the development of the new ISO standard. He will be discussing the implications on Lean and Six Sigma for many Lean organisations.

Only 7 miles and 10 years separate the gilded splendors of Wingwood House at Bar Harbor ( parts 1, 2, & 3) from this exciting house. Both were built for wealthy women prominent in their respective worlds, both were designed by Philadelphia architects. Both take inspiration from a Maine vernacular. There the resemblance ends. Wingwood looks back to a romanticized past, Fortune Rock looks forward to an ideal future. They provide interesting case study in the range of architectural aspirations.
The original intention was that the house be the central building of a larger family compound, a vision never fully realized, although Mrs. Thomas's architect son did build his own very interesting house sitting astride a small cove, looking across to his mother's house in flight above the water.
In the 1980's the house was purchased by a member of the Berwind family. Nothing could be further from the splendors of his great uncle's palace at Newport. The Berwinds undertook a sympathetic restoration and re-decoration of the house, by then time-worn. Missing was Clara Fargo Thomas's spectacular mural from the dining room.
The color photographs of Fortune Rock are from a 1987 article in the New York Times. Unfortunately, they were damaged in my files, and I was unable to straighten them for good scans. But they show well how the house's design holds up against contemporary work.

Russian scientist charged with treason to stay in detention for 2 more months
MOSCOW, May 17 (RAPSI) - The Lefortovsky District Court of Moscow on Friday extended detention of Viktor Kudryavtsev, a 74-year-old scientist of the Central Research Institute for Engineering Technology (TsNIImash) charged with treason, until July 20, RAPSI reported from the court.
The hearing was held behind closed doors upon a prosecutor's petition.
On Friday, Kudryavtsev was discharged from a hospital where he was placed for health examination following a decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). According to his attorney Ivan Pavlovov, ECHR obliged Russian authorities to conduct a medical examination of Kudryavtsev in a clinic independent of the penitentiary system. However, the lawyer said that the hospital where the researcher was placed in, did not fully meet the criteria specified in the ECHR ruling.
In March, the Lefortovsky District Court of Moscow extended detention of Kudryavtsev until May 20.
Earlier, Pavlov told RAPSI that investigators banned visits to the researcher after Kudryavtsev refused to make a deal with them envisaging guilty plea and testifying against his student.
Kudryavtsev is accused of disclosure of classified information to the Belgian Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamic, his another attorney Yevgeny Smirnov told RAPSI previously. Investigators claim that the researcher has transferred information via email from an unmarked computer. However, the scientist has not worked with such secret documents since late 90s, according to the lawyer.
The researcher pleaded not guilty and refused to testify in the case, Smirnov added.

What does ACT mean to you?
by ACT
Posted on August 24, 2018
Comments Off on What does ACT mean to you?
…Celebrating 20 years of ACT
"Making a real difference to lives"
"The gift of hope and a future"
"Helping women to break the glass ceiling and encouraging equality in developing countries"
"Real action, real lives, real chance…Awesome"
"Bringing hope and a future to the less privileged"
These are a few quotes from attendees at the ACT biennial event two years ago in the UK.
Clearly, ACT means different things to different people, but the mention of ACT always brings out a positive reaction and response from those who know the work of this growing Croydon based charity.
ACT turned 20 this year and will be marking the anniversary at a celebration event in Croydon, UK on Saturday 6th October. Two years on from the last biennial event, we wanted to find out people's view of ACT from the communities in Africa where it carries out its work.
Yetunde Joseph from Lagos, Nigeria shares her experience of ACT and explains how and why she got involved with ACT, and interestingly why she thinks you should too!
"Working with ACT has had a huge impact on me personally. It is enabling me to live my dream of helping the less privileged and contributing to my countries' development by helping to give vulnerable children an education."
"ACT is about bringing hope to the hopeless".
I work with Ipaja Community Link (ICL) in Lagos, Nigeria. We facilitate access to secondary school education for vulnerable children and also do youth work and livelihood programmes for women. After completing a degree in Child Development and Family Studies, I got a job with ICL as an orphan and vulnerable children (OVC) Programmes Officer. In this role I assisted with developing and operating programmes such as after school club and summer school classes for vulnerable children in the Ipaja community. Our partnership with ACT in 2013 came about following contact established by ICL director with ACT on a visit to the UK and was possible as a result of our shared goals. Both ACT and ICL believe education for all, irrespective of means, is the only way to a prosperous Nigeria. Orphans and widows are amongst some of the most vulnerable and marginalised groups in our society and do not have the same opportunities as children who are better off. Five years on, our work has grown. We are supporting five times more children than we did before partnering with ACT. Our programmes have expanded and we now have projects specifically aimed at widows as part of our women's programme. This year we registered the ACT Widows Cooperative, which in the context of Nigeria, is no small fit.
Micah Kambe is an ACT alumna from Zambia supported from 2000 to 2012. Micah and her older brother Abel were beneficiaries of ACT support after their father died. Their young widowed mother, Febby, could barely cope with bringing up her three young children all by herself. At the time, her oldest child was very ill and hospitalised. Micah now has a diploma in Public Health but hopes to return to University to study Nursing. Her older brother is an officer in the Zambian army, and her younger brother is currently studying medicine. Micah is full of gratitude to ACT for the support and opportunities it opened up for her family. She herself is determined to give back, hence her interest in nursing where she can help needy children. She recognises that 'there are a lot of widows and orphans out there who dream of receiving similar opportunities as her but they don't have it.
"My hope someday is to be a part of the ACT team because I also want to put a beautiful smile on the faces of other orphans and vulnerable children out there'.
'ACT means a lot to me in that it wasn't just an answered prayer in my time of need, but it was and is still an answered prayer for the entire family…ACT is in my heart'.
ACT has helped to restore joy in so many sorrowful families that have been victims to the loss of loved ones. It has fed and is still feeding so many people who don't have hope of a proper meal each day. It has educated many children who would have dropped out of school and it has empowered many widows with skills for improved economic standard and all in all helped reduced poverty in our community.
Micah's appeal to those out there thinking of supporting ACT is this: "On behalf of all the orphans and vulnerable children in Africa, please go for it". You can read more about Micah's story here.
Support a child today! Visit www.africanchildtrust.org.uk

Easter Flowers in St Cronan's
