Google loves using sequencers as a way of teaching folks how to make music, and it's a neat toy to put on its homepage every now and again. The repository for all of these experiments is Chrome Music Lab, a suite of kooky music-makin' tools for budding musicians. And now, the company has added Song Maker, a way for you to craft your own basic tunes.
Google Song Maker adds a music suite to your browser
A modern-day upgrade on 'Mario Paint Composer'.

Anyone who grew up using Mario Paint Composer to re-create the pop hits of the day will be familiar with how Song Maker works. Simply click a block and you can create a ditty, although you'll need to tweak the settings to make it longer than a few seconds long. Then, you can share your works with friends, and they can tweak your experiments to further make the next great pop hit.

Uncovering the underlying sophistication of human perception
27 Jul 2016
Uncovering the underlying sophistication of human perception
Dr Neeraj Kumar, Early Career Fellow and Dr Pratik K. Mutha
IIT Gandhinagar
How does a football player estimate where a ball kicked by him is going? One source of information for generating such an estimate is feedback about the ball's motion provided by the player's visual system. The player may also predict the trajectory that the ball is going to take based on his kicking action. We show in our recently published study in the Journal of Neurophysiology that such predictions about the sensory effects of actions can be a rich source of information, which, when combined with actual sensory feedback yields better perception of the world around us. In case of the football player, this implies that his/her judgment about the ball's trajectory is enhanced by combining their predictions with information provided by their visual system. In our study, we blended a motor learning paradigm that imposes new sensory predictions with a dynamic visual search task to first show that perceptual judgments are poorer when they are based on sensory feedback that is misaligned with those predictions. We then show, perhaps for the first time, that perception is strongly influenced by the most stable sensory predictions available. We induced instability in the motor-learning induced predictions, and observed that people transitioned to using other stable predictions available for their perceptual judgments rather than relying on visual feedback alone as is conventionally thought. Finally, we show that when sensory predictions are not modified at all, these judgments are sharper when subjects combine their natural sensory predictions with actual sensory information. Collectively, these new and exciting findings uncover the tremendous operational flexibility and sophistication within the human perceptual system, and have substantial implications for theoretical and computational models of perception.
Adaptive reliance on the most stable sensory predictions enhances perceptual feature extraction of moving stimuli.

Nothing cheers a gold investor more than the growing suspicion that the world's policy makers are scrambling for answers.
The precious metal continued its remarkable ascent on Monday after a meeting of finance ministers from the Group of 20 major economies concluded over the weekend without arriving at a co-ordinated plan to revive global growth.
China underlined the urgent need for stimulus by cutting the reserve requirement for its banks, a move designed to encourage more lending in its slowing economy.
And just for good measure, Mervyn King, the former governor of the Bank of England, warned that the euro zone is doomed.
Gold's rise reflects investors' desire for refuge from the economic storm, according to Citigroup analysts. A recent weakening in the U.S. dollar has helped the metal, but "gold has also sniffed, through poor equity market trends, heightened risk in terms of global financial systemic risk," according to Jon Bergtheil of Citigroup.
The metal has gained 16 per cent since New Year's Day, making it the world's best-performing major asset class so far this year. Among the forces driving it higher are the growing prevalence of negative interest rates, especially in Europe.

Showing individualism through art.
Today, the students of Woodland Pattern Poetry camp created their own journals for the week. This gave them a chance to express themselves through the art they put on their covers. Many beautiful covers show the individuals behind these creative minds. A trip to the domes gave them ideas for writing their poetry. Each dome provided different environment with which many great poems were already created. Each student was given the chance to share the poems they created. The support and respect that has been shown illuminates how eager the students are to begin their writing. What a great way to begin this week!

Plot: A horrific virus known as Chimera has been engineered, a vicious strain that if released into the world, could infect entire regions in mere days and soon after, perhaps the world. The virus has been stolen by rogue agent Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott), who impersonated Ethan Hunt in order to secure the samples, as part of a plan to profit from the spread and eventual cure of Chimera. In order to ensure this doesn't happen, IMF has dispatched the real Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) to track down Ambrose and retrieve both the virus and antidote. He assembles a hand picked team to join him, but he is also tasked to involve Nyah (Thandie Newton), who is a former lover of Ambrose's and could be used to lower his guard. This creates some tension for both Hunt and Nyah, as the two have gotten close since her recruitment, but the mission is the mission, so both forge ahead. Even as Hunt closes in, Ambrose seems prepared and one step ahead, so is the release of Chimera inevitable at this point?
Entertainment Value: The first Mission: Impossible movie was convoluted, but stuck close to the spy driven teamwork of the source material, while Mission: Impossible II aims for a more pure action experience. John Woo takes the reins here and offers up set piece after set piece of wild, over the top action, while throwing in twists to compensate for the lack of grounded spy elements. The use of realistic masks is one such trick, as you can never be sure if someone is who they claim to be, which of course leads to a number of surprise reveals. These help add that feel of double crosses and manipulation, which this kind of material thrives on. I appreciated the balls out action sequences, but it comes at the cost of the narrative, which is quite simple and lacks all the twists and turns a spy movie should possess. In other words, Mission: Impossible II is dumb, but pretty and that is sure to delight some and disappoint others. Tom Cruise returns of course and gives his usual Ethan Hunt performance, while Dougray Scott is a terrific, sleaze soaked villain that gives him a great foil. Thandie Newton also turns in some good work here, while Brendan Gleeson and Anthony Hopkins have memorable roles as well. So while the lack of spy movie tropes is missed here, Mission: Impossible II is drenched in John Woo style action, so it is a brisk, stylish, and fun watch.
No nakedness. As he makes very clear, Ambrose is gagging for it, but the sex scenes are brief and tame in this one. No blood. There's some cuts, scrapes, and abrasions, but no real bloodshed present here. I do love the infamous knife to the eye sequence, which still looks awesome and holds up quite well. The action is ample however, with wild and stylish sequences from start to finish. This is signature John Woo, complete with doves to add that extra "this is epic, bad ass action" flavor. Mission: Impossible II has car chases, foot chases, shoot outs, double crosses, shocking reveals, a plane crash, and an epic one on one showdown for the ages. The action is well crafted and soaked in Woo's style, so it is a lot of fun and holds up over repeat sessions. The dialogue here is passable, with some highlights from Dougray Scott as the villainous Ambrose, especially his "gagging for it" exchange. Ving Rhames offers some fun comic relief in his small role, but otherwise the lines are solid, but not all that memorable. This one has some wild action, but never feels outside the normal boundaries of the genre, as the movie maintains a mainstream feel throughout.
Nudity: 0/10
Blood: 0/10
Dialogue: 2/10
Overall Insanity: 0/10

Salutations, everyone!
As some of you may know, I have been working on an English Fan-Dub Movie project for Ocarina of Time. That said, during one of the parts of the movie, I'm trying to see if it's possible to get a small choir together to sing during the scenes for the Temple of Time. I am looking for mostly men with deeper pitched voices. However, I may consider bringing on a female or two, based on the number of auditions I get for male singers.
To see a little bit regarding the project as a whole, here are some videos to help promote it:
***Please be sure to stay tuned to this page.***
My usual rules and policies apply. Please see below.
1. If you are selected for a role in the cast, you will need to send me an e-mail, confirming your role. If you do not respond within two weeks, your role will be cast to the next available understudy. If you do not receive a casting email, please check here to see if you were cast as an understudy.
2. PLEASE! Your microphones must be as high-quality as possible to be cast. I want to be able to hear and interpret what you, the voice actor (or in this case, the singer), have to say (or the way you sing). Not your living room fan, or AC running, or the cats purring (even though it'd be super cute).
3. I shouldn't have to remind you of this, but PLEASE be kind and courteous to one another. I'd like for this fan-dub project to be as professional as possible. I always encourage giving positive, yet constructive criticism. But remember the golden rule, "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all." If you audition and I see disadvantageous or rude comments coming from you, you can bet that I will completely disregard your audition. Simple.
4. HAVE FUN WITH THIS! After all, this is what this is all for. Our love and appreciation for Zelda games, and finding ways to connect with other Zelda fans, or other people that are just awesome for giving this a try! So give it your best shot! I encourage everyone to try, even if they think they won't get the part. You'll have no idea unless you try.
With that said, I hope everyone will have fun with this, and GOOD LUCK!
P.S.: I'd like to give a VERY special thank you to Alex White and Lindz for assistance with the Latin Lyrics and pronunciations, and SkyLord570 with the sheet music and arrangement! Thanks SO MUCH guys! :D
If you need pronunciations, click here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0ZijbF1hueqYVE4NXphU051XzQ
Here's the sheet music for it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0ZijbF1hueqdzJSVXZrUzE0VnM
***VERY IMPORTANT!!!***: I just realized that sheet music I have here is slightly incorrect. I apologize for the inconvenience. But please look at the sheet music on measure 12. Starting on the eighth note (where it says "in-when") and going through the end, please sing that in an octave lower. I don't have the tools to edit the sheet music.
*Note* As mentioned before, I am looking for mostly male auditions, but will also consider female auditions, for this particular song.

La Oreja de Van Gogh Still Without a Vocalist
The members of the Spanish group denied the news that they already found a new singer
The members of La Oreja de Van Gogh are denying on their blog last week's news that Edurne García, winner of Spanish reality singing show Operación Triunfo (Canal Satélite Digital), would become their new vocalist. On Nov. 20, the group's former singer Amaia Montero announced that she would be leaving the band she spent 11 years with, in order to pursue a solo career.
"As many of you know, a rumor's been spreading that Edurne is going to be our new singer. And it's just that, a rumor started as a practical joke on Dec. 28…We understand that you're very excited to find out who'll be the new singer (we are too), but for your own well-being, we're asking that you don't pay attention to anything you hear, because as soon as there's a new singer, we'll tell you all about it on our blog," explained guitar player Pablo, bass player Álvaro and keyboard player Sabih San Martín.
So, everything seems to indicate that the news was just a joke. Even we can be fooled.

"The advent of the digital world is an industrial revolution," – Richard PayetteBy Justine Montminy | November 15 2018 01:30PM
Richard Payette | Photo: Cercle canadien de Montréal
As part of its commitment to become a digital leader, Manulife aims to make innovation a state of mind while ensuring that people are at the centre of this change. Richard Payette, President and CEO, Manulife Québec, expressed this goal at a conference at the Canadian Club of Montréal.
Insurers can opt to either submit to the change or adapt, he says. "We come from a fairly conservative sector, but one that is destined to evolve. The world is transforming. It's not a status quo revolution, it's an industrial revolution."
Payette adds that it is not enough to make a few changes and return to business as usual, because clients expect more. It is important to be proactive, he says.
"Manulife chose to take on these challenges with an ambitious and daring approach. We now define ourselves as a digital company centred on clients' needs. This means responding to their changing expectations. They want a personalized service offering and to control the relationship," Payette explains.
Technology and innovations, the cornerstones
The digital revolution is powered by technology and innovations. "We are not overlooking any details, and all aspects of our organization will be fine-tuned. Technology is central to everything we do," Payette says.
He gives the examples of the new retirement planning platform that Manulife launched this year, which uses artificial intelligence to pinpoint client's long-term needs, and the Vitality program, which rewards insured that adopt a healthy lifestyle.
The insurer also slashed its paperwork. "Our industry is renowned for having reams of forms. We have digitized over 2000 of them. In September, our robots handled one million transactions. By December 31, we expect this number to double to 2 million," Payette says. He says this digitization has cut calls related to simple formalities by 20 per cent, while boosting customer satisfaction.

Cats and heights
We are walking down the street and see people gathered under a balcony. We look up and we see a cat walking on the balcony banister. "¡Oh no! Some say" that it's going to be a bad fall. "¡Of course not!"–say others – "cats always land on their feet and they never hurt themselves".
If we listen to popular belief, the people in the second group would be right, rather than those of the first group. Although it is well known that popular belief is often right, on many occasions it is also wrong.
It is true that many cats have a penchant to heights and it is not difficult to see them perched on roofs, trees or resting on a windowsill as if this were the most normal thing in the world.
If for any reason, a cat fell from a certain height, given its extraordinary sense of balance and due to its extremely flexible body it would be able to turn its head, trunk and legs in such a way that the four limbs face downwards. Right before hitting the floor, it stretches its legs and arches its back to reduce the impact.
This perfect sequence, extracted from the "Good manners manual for beginner cats"does not always work. It all depends on the height and speed of the fall, which affects its capacity of reaction to adopt the correct position and cushion the impact, and on the surface on which it falls: falling on soft grass is not the same falling on hard tiles. Likewise, this method will not work if we throw a kitten up in the air with our arms as if it were a baby to show our love.
Thus, we must respect the peculiarities of the feline and its passion for heights, but we must always put common sense above everything and keep it away from dangerous areas.

Zero Waste Week marks 10-year milestone
Many people who have followed this column, or my blog at The Rubbish Diet, will recognise Rachelle Strauss as one of my long-standing 'rubbish' friends. Our paths crossed online in 2008 as a result of us both blogging about waste, long before the topic had become mainstream. Within months of us getting to know each other's rubbish, Rachelle and her family attempted their very first Zero Waste Week challenge and launched a national campaign to get others involved. With the 11th Zero Waste Week starting very soon on 3 September, I've caught up with Rachelle to find out what inspired her, how this incredible grassroots campaign has developed over the last decade and, more importantly, how you can get involved this year.
People are motivated to take more responsibly for reducing their waste for different reasons. What was the key motivating issue for your family?
My motivation came from experiencing, first hand, the devastating floods at Boscastle in 2004. I was on holiday with my family when, after torrential rainfall, two rivers burst their banks at the same time as the tide came in. This resulted in 10 feet of flood water pouring through the village washing away livelihoods, possessions and the bridge out of the village. 100 people had to be airlifted to safety, and, as I was standing with my daughter in my arms, wondering whether I'd ever see my husband alive again my thought was "everything I've been reading about climate change is happening - not in 100 years time, but right now!" Whether that's true or not doesn't matter, what matters is that seeds were sown for me to be part of the solution.
Tell us more about your very first Zero Waste Week campaign.
The first campaign has very humble beginnings. Three months after my family and I started to reduce our waste, your good self challenged me to have a Zero Waste Week at home. I was up for the challenge, but nervous and needed moral support, so asked my blog readers if they'd like to join me. 100 people said yes. After the week was over participants said they'd enjoyed themselves, had fun (NOT a word I expected to hear in the same sentence as 'waste'!) and wanted to do it again. In that moment, the annual Zero Waste Week campaign was born!
Ten years have passed since that first campaign week. How has it changed over the last decade and what have been your personal highlights?
The campaign has certainly evolved! What started as a simple comment thread on one blog post, now has a dedicated website and social media channels of its own. There's also been a shift from blogging and newsletters to social media. People want soundbites, images and quick hits, whereas ten years ago participants would engage with much more text. It's a sign of the times I guess! Because of its longevity, Zero Waste Week has now been recognised as a campaign with sticking power and impact - and last year there were tweets from notable organisations such as GreenPeace, Penguin books and the Energy Saving Trust. Even Deborah Meaden gave us a mention! Vivienne Westwood photographed herself promoting the week, media coverage has included everything from local newspapers to the Guardian and Readers Digest and I've even appeared with Jeremy Irons in the film 'Trashed' where I took him shopping for a naked cucumber.
My personal highlights have been: watching the #ZeroWasteWeek hashtag reach 56 million impressions; Being put forward for an Early Day Motion in parliament; seeing the hashtag trend for two days - alongside Kate Middleton's announcement of her third pregnancy no less!; being voted number 1 mover and shaker in the Recycling and waste sector by Resource magazine; the fantastic emails I get from people telling me about the changes they have made.
What have been the key challenges to minimising your own household waste over this time?
Time is the number one thing that determines our success rate. If I have time I can keep on top of things - checking daily in the fridge to see what needs using up, making good choices when I shop, having the headspace to know what is coming up and what we need to plan for all keep things ticking over. If one of us gets ill, my workload increases or something unexpected happens (you couldn't make this up - last month a rat chewed through a cable that housed a water heater and set it on fire - we ended up with charred plastic to throw away!), the best laid plans tend to fall apart. That's when I end up with slimy bags of salad in the back of the fridge and getting to the checkout without my own reusable bag.
What advice would you give to readers who would like to get involved in Zero Waste Week this September?
I'd say jump right in and give it a go! The term 'zero waste' can feel intimidating, overwhelming and impossible, but Zero Waste is just an aspiration- all you have to do is take ONE STEP towards reducing your landfill waste during the week.
You'll get plenty of encouragement and suggestions in the daily newsletters and I promise it will be easier (and more fun!) than you think.Here's what previous participants have said:
"I loved the interaction with others. The sense of community with common purpose is powerful."
"If you stop to think too much about the environment it's overwhelming, but Zero Waste Week makes you feel you can do something."
"This week was a real eye opener. I have discovered amazing products I had no idea about before."
There are a couple of green buttons on zerowasteweek.co.uk that will get you onto the mailing list. You'll also receive a free PDF outlining the ways my zero waste week lifestyle saves me £1500 per year. If that's not motivation to get signed up, I don't know what is!
How can readers keep motivated once the main campaign week has ended?
I think of the week itself as a bootcamp for bins. It's like an intense workout where all the focus is on reducing landfill waste. Once the week is over, you'll find that one or two things you've tried have saved you money, have been easier than you anticipated, or, you feel so good about the changes that you WANT to keep them up. Throughout the rest of the year you'll find me talking rubbish on social media. The Facebook group is reportedly one of the friendliest on Facebook (a claim to fame if ever I heard one!) and there are thousands of people (some in Suffolk, so you're in good company!) that are engaged and sharing their questions and advice. You can also find me on Twitter (@myzerowaste) where I'm on hand to answer questions and I share relevant and helpful articles. I don't inundate people's inboxes with newsletters once Zero Waste Week is over, so you might get two or three throughout the year until the next campaign starts.
It's been an exciting decade. What can we expect next?
From the feedback I receive about the campaign, it's clear many people want to reduce their waste but don't know how or don't have the time to research.So you'll find me helping individuals, businesses and organisations implement a successful zero waste strategy of their own.
Through resources and consulting, I share priceless information they won't find anywhere else, simple-to-follow guidelines that get amazing results and they'll get full support, not only to start a Zero Waste strategy but to achieve all their goals. I've also got this crazy idea of offering a short course for householders to reduce their waste once and for all.
As for Zero Waste Week itself, well, let's get that trending all week long, the lead story in all the mainstream media publications and a selfie from the Queen showing her support, shall we?
Zero Waste Week 2018 takes place 3-8 September. For more information about how you can take part at home or at work, visit www.zerowasteweek.co.uk.On Twitter or Facebook? Share your #zerowasteweek successes with the Bury Free Press.

WASHINGTON, DC – Mark Leahey, President and CEO of the Medical Device Manufacturers Association (MDMA) issued the following statement today regarding the FDA's release of their "Plan of Action for Implementation of 510(k) and Science Recommendations:"
"We commend FDA leadership and staff for working with various stakeholders in an open and constructive process to develop consensus proposals that improve patient access to safe and effective therapies. As more details are provided on specific recommendations, MDMA will submit additional comments to FDA to help make the regulatory process more efficient and effective.
However, we remain concerned that FDA has deferred final decisions on key issues to the Institute of Medicine. Numerous stakeholders have expressed concerns with these proposals due to the adverse impact they would have on innovation, patient care and job-creation in the United States.
MDMA staff will continue to review this plan and its recommendations, and work with our members to ensure that all of their concerns are addressed. As we have said from the beginning, everyone benefits when a reasonable and predictable 510(k) process is in place."
The FDA released its preliminary report on the 510(k) review process last summer, and this plan follows comments and input from MDMA and many other interested parties.
FDA's plan and other supporting materials can be viewed by clicking here.

Johannesburg - Generations fans nearly caught a heart attack this past weekend when reports claimed that popular actress, Connie Ferguson was set to leave Generations: The Legacy.
According to the reports, two sources on set of the show claimed that the cast were notified recently that the famous Moroka family, of which Connie is a massive fan, were set to be phased out of the show- leaving Connie out in the cold.
But in a chat with The Juice, Connie has rubbished the reports saying they are "completely false."
"I can confirm that the reports are completely false and that I am not leaving the show," Connie told us. "I have no idea where the story comes from. I saw that fans were asking me on Twitter whether it was true, but it's completely false."
So there you are, fam! Karabo may be leaving Tau but she ain't leaving our screens anytime soon.

Those Shirts – edgy conservative t-shirts
Not for everyone, but very funny. My Personal Favorite? Celebrate Diversity.
Perfect attire for those rallies the Anti-Iraqi Freedom folks are staging today. Make no mistake. Iraqi freedom is exactly what they are protesting, regardless of what their canned, trite slogans may say.
Had the protestors had their way, Saddam and his sons would still be in charge, and the rape rooms, mass murder and evil would still be occurring. So much for "bleeding heart liberals." The only bleeding going on was from the soldiers who died to give Iraq a chance at freedom, and the people of Iraq who had to live under an oppressive, evil regime.

All week they were calling for the weather to be cool and rainy today. They were not wrong and when I woke up this morning, I expected that my mood and the weather would be of like mind.
Well, they kind of were. It was not as cool as predicted and there was only a light drizzle. I expected that between my weight and my leg, I would be in crappy spirits but I wasn't.
I again adorned my magic tutu as we left for the race.
We got to the race venue and signed in. Since this is the Run for Recovery I saw a lot of past and current clients as well as colleagues. I was also approached by lots of runners I had seen at past races with the "Hey! I know you!" type comments.
My tutu received more attention then in the past – from the "I LOVE it!" to "Did you lose a bet" to a former client saying "Don't you know you might be on tv??!!"
We lined up and it was just a light spitting of rain and humid. The obligatory pre-race instructions and speeches and then the air horn.
We took off. My leg started to hurt immediately. The Achilles was holding up, though. I was not feeling great and only 1.6 miles in, at the 5K turnaround, I was wishing I had chosen the 5K option.
But I carried on. We raced along the wet streets and it was surprisingly humid. I thought we would never reach the turnaround, but at about 2.75 miles I saw the fast guys coming at me and knew I was close.
I saw a woman coming and knew that I would not be taking first this year. She was not all that far ahead of me but looked strong.
At 4 miles I was ready to stop and walk and my leg was THROBBING. Fortunately, although it was a fairly flat course, we started a very slight downhill jaunt and the wind was at my back – but the rain had picked up.
I started to pass some of the slower 5K walkers and could hear "You GO!" and "Nice tutu!!" above my music.
At a turn about 5.25 miles in, a group of cheerleaders were waiting and climbed into a pyramid cheering and pointing at me. I gave them a thumbs up.
It really started to rain, but I was in the home stretch. As I hit 6 miles, a woman suddenly passed me and I felt like yelling in slow motion "NOOOOOO!!!!!" But I was gassed and had nothing left to try to catch up.
As I crossed I saw the timer and was shocked at how terrible my time was – 48:42. I was terribly disappointed.
I waited the couple minutes for Marc to finish and we made our way to the venue building to eat.
So the final unimpressive stats:
15th out of 76 10K'ers
3rd place female
I did manage to come in first in my age group by some miracle and got a medal.
I shouldn't be all that surprised or disappointed , but I am.
BUT here's the kicker – as we were leaving I heard someone yelling my name. I turned around and recognized the mother of the client (who was the runner I ran in a couple of races with) who died of a heroin overdose earlier this year.
She came running up to me and instantly her tears started to flow. She handed me a t-shirt that said his name and a message about running in his memory. She said that she had gotten it made for me, and that she believes in her heart that he could not be saved from the tragedy that is addiction, but that my program had allowed her 21 months with a clean and sober son, where she got to know him and love him.
I instantly choked up and assured her that every time I run a race I think of him and that I would wear the shirt proudly and that he would never be forgotten.
She looked at Marc and said something to him about how she had called me when he first got in trouble and told me – a complete stranger at the time - that I was the only one that could save his life. She said "That was a lot of pressure I put on your wife, and maybe it wasn't fair, but I am so thankful to have had the time I did with him thanks to her."
And I hugged her as the rain started to POUR. I was at a complete loss for words as she let go of me and said goodbye.
And as I got into my vehicle with Marc, we were both solemn and I realized that even though things are not completely as I would like them to be be, I am alive and, blissfully, free of the torture that this wonderful young guy suffered from.
So 3rd place? Maybe that's not so bad…

PHILADELPHIA - The Jefferson (Philadelphia University + Thomas Jefferson University) men's basketball team (21-7, 16-3 CACC) started the game with a 16-2 run and never looked back in an 86-75 victory at Holy Family (14-12, 10-9 CACC) in the regular season finale on Saturday.
The Rams started out hot, scoring the first eight points of the game and 16 of the opening 18. Jefferson was 6-for-9 from the field during the stretch with four three-pointers. The Rams continued to outplay the Tigers and led 26-6 with 10:18 to go in the first half. Holy Family narrowed the gap over the final 10 minutes and trailed 40-23 at the break. Jefferson shot 48.3% (14-of-29) during the period while holding the Tigers to just 28.6% (10-of-35).
Holy Family outscored the Rams, 19-11 in the first six minutes of the second half, closing the gap to nine (51-42). However, that was the closest the Tigers would get for the rest of the contest. It was a nine-point game (77-68) with 1:55 left but Jefferson was 2-for-2 from the floor and 4-for-4 at the line to secure the victory.
- Freshman Deondre Bourne totaled a team-high 22 points, four rebounds, four assists and one steal. He was 6-for-9, including 4-for-6 from three, and 6-for-6 from the charity stripe.
- Junior Kylan Guerra scored 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting, 4-of-7 from downtown, with nine rebounds and eight assists.
- Junior Josh Bradanese finished with 19 points, nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block. He shot 5-for-9.
- Junior DeVaughn Mallory contributed with 12 points, nine rebounds, one block and one assist. He was 6-of-12 from the field.
- The Rams shot 54.0% (27-of-50) on field goals, 63.6% (14-of-22) from three-point range and 69.2% (18-of-26) on free throws.
- Jefferson outrebounded Holy Family, 40-33.
- The Rams shot a blistering 61.9% (13-of-21) in the second half.
- Jefferson's 14 threes were the most in a game this season and the highest number since the Rams also hit 14 against Holy Family on February 24, 2018.
- It was the 12th time this year that the Rams shot over 50 percent. Jefferson is 9-3 in those games.
- The victory was the 1,095th of head coach Herb Magee's career.
Jefferson is the top seed in the South for the CACC Tournament and will host Felician, the fourth seed in the North, for a quarterfinal matchup on Tuesday, March 5 at 5:30 p.m. The Rams topped the Golden Falcons, 87-71 on January 5.

Click on picture above…more detail will appear.
This 22x39mm. Sterling silver jump hour was manufactured in the 1930's and was chrome plated on the top case with sterling silver rear. We had the watch expensively rhodium plated to look exactly like chrome….but without the premature chance of wear, as rhodium is from the platinum family and is VERY hard wearing and lustrous. The fact that this watch also displays seconds is what makes it interesting and rare. The MONTROSE manual winding movement was just overhauled, accurate and is quite fine, calibrated with four adjustments. The dial and all its' print are clear, legible and ORIGINAL, adding to the desirability of this highly collectible vintage jump hour watch. Notice the cabochon winding crown.

Amyloid β accumulation and inner retinal degenerative changes in Alzheimer's disease transgenic mouse
Gupta, VK and Chitranshi, N and Gupta, VB and Golzan, M and Dheer, Y and Wall, RV and Georgevsky, D and King, AE and Vickers, JC and Chung, R and Graham, S, Amyloid β accumulation and inner retinal degenerative changes in Alzheimer's disease transgenic mouse, Neuroscience Letters, 623 pp. 52-56.

The APP-PS1ΔE9 mouse model of Alzheimers disease (AD) exhibits age dependent amyloid β (Aβ) plaque formation in their central nervous system due to high expression of mutated human APP and PSEN1 transgenes. Here we evaluated Aβ deposition and changes in soluble Aβ accumulation in the retinas of aged APP-PS1 mice using a combination of immunofluorescence, retinal flat mounts and western blotting techniques. Aβ accumulation in the retina has previously been shown to be associated with retinal ganglion cell apoptosis in animal models of glaucoma. This study investigated changes in the inner retinal function and structure in APP-PS1 mice using electrophysiology and histological approaches respectively. We report for the first time a significant decline in scotopic threshold response (STR) amplitudes which represents inner retinal function in transgenic animals compared to the wild type counterparts (p < 0.0001). Thinning of the retina particularly involving inner retinal layers and reduction in axonal density in the optic nerve was also observed. TUNEL staining was performed to examine neuronal apoptosis in the inner retina. Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements showed that APP-PS1ΔE9 mice had a slightly elevated IOP, but the significance of this finding is not yet known. Together, these results substantiate previous observations and highlight that APP-PS1ΔE9 mice show evidence of molecular, functional and morphological degenerative changes in the inner retina.

The Short Version: Millionaire Match Dating raises the bar in the dating scene by connecting elite singles to resources that are well worth their while. The reviews site assesses the top millionaire dating sites and apps of the day and offers recommendations for singles hoping to make a million-dollar match. This informational resource is invaluable to men and women who expect a high-class dating experience. To date, over 5 million people have used Millionaire Match Dating to learn the ins and outs of millionaire dating and find a wealthy partner.
Relationships typically succeed when two people share similar lifestyles, aspirations, and expectations. They have to be on the same page about the big things — like whether they want children — and about the little things — like where to go for dinner.
Singles who belong to the same social strata naturally click with one another because they have shared interests and experiences.
For the wealthy, dating is often about indulging in luxuries. It's about romantic trips to Paris and parties on yachts. It's about spending quality time savoring delicious foods and enjoying each other's company. However, sometimes even millionaire singles can have trouble finding someone who fits seamlessly into such a lifestyle, and they need the search power of a dating site to assist them.
Millionaire Match Dating has put together a list of the most useful and effective millionaire dating sites and apps, so affluent singles can enjoy a better experience in the dating scene.

"As a team, our enthusiasm to help people enjoy a better dating experience has made our learning curve grow exponentially," said a spokesperson for Millionaire Match Dating. "We look at our long-term vision and then work on the small things to reach that vision of reforming the dating world."
The Millionaire Match Dating team has 25 years of combined experience in the dating industry, and many of those man hours have been spent assessing the online dating scene and brainstorming ways to improve it. The highly motivated team of writers, marketers, and techies work together to make millionaire dating platforms easier to understand and navigate.
Most of these team members are millennials who have used dating sites and apps themselves and can empathize with the site's audience. The team is passionate about Millionaire Match Dating's premise and take pride in seeing it succeed.
"The people behind Millionaire Match Dating can simply be defined as awesome," said the website's spokesperson. "The experience of running this platform has taught us a lot about the dating world and human emotions."
The Millionaire Match Dating team provides much more than cookie-cutter advice and features — every aspect of the site has been carefully crafted to encourage singles and inspire matches.

Since its launch, Millionaire Match Dating has seen over 5 million unique views, and its reviews have led to thousands of new signups on trustworthy dating sites. Some of these users are millionaires, while others are hoping to date millionaires. These people enjoy the finer things in life and see online dating as a way of networking with a higher class of singles.
The typical Millionaire Match Dating reader is between 20 and 40 years old and is actively searching for a travel companion and romantic partner.
"The users of this millionaire dating website are just looking for love and happiness," explained the Millionaire Match Dating spokesperson.

Countless singles have found success in the dating scene thanks to Millionaire Match Dating, and some have even written to the team to share their incredible love stories.
One reader contacted the Millionaire Match Dating team to say the platform helped her overcome depression and find a man who treats her like a queen.
"Meeting a millionaire using millionaire dating sites may sometimes sound like it's impossible, but, with some dating tips, it becomes easy." — Millionaire Match Dating
A 25-year-old millionaire named Hanna said she was bullied in school for being "too over the top," but a millionaire dating site helped her break out of her romantic rut and meet someone who loved her unique sense of style. Eric shares her sense of adventure and popped the question after dating for less than a year.
Hanna and Eric are now happily engaged, and she thanked Millionaire Match Dating for encouraging her along and making her feel comfortable in the millionaire dating scene.
Such glowing testimonials let the team know the site is heading in the right direction and fulfilling its mandate in the dating scene. As the Millionaire Match Dating spokesperson said, "This is why we started and this is what we want to do — help people all around the world to date better and be better."
Affluent daters typically enjoy wining and dining someone who can keep up with a first-class lifestyle. They want a satisfying relationship based on true compatibility, and that's not always easy to find in everyday life. Fortunately, the right millionaire dating site can upgrade the typical dating experience by uniting the wealthiest and most desirable singles in the dating pool.
Millionaire Match Dating can connect elite daters to the best online dating resources and give them valuable advice to meet their needs. The reviews website has established itself as an authority on millionaire dating, and many ambitious and successful daters have taken its advice to heart.
As Millionaire Match Dating grows, the team works hard to build trust with its users and meet the needs of an ever-changing dating scene.
"For us, Millionaire Match Dating is not just a website but a statement among high-value individuals," the site's spokesperson said. "We are just trying to make it better for them, so the next few years are all about technology and reaching more people."

#5 – You must eat "healthy" foods to lose weight (chocolate, donuts and pizza will ruin weight loss results)
Answer: FALSE
Your body has no idea what you would consider a 'healthy' food. And I challenge anyone to actually define "healthy food". The idea of 'healthy' eating and healthy foods is a marketing made myth.
Eating for weight loss is and always will be calories in vs calories out. You can achieve a calorie deficit with any types of food you like. I have personally just lost about 29 pounds in the past 10-11 weeks and I have eaten at least 1 donut every day and pizza and chicken wings each weekend.
I make no claim about the healthy-ness of these food items, but I am sure the main stream opinion is that these foods are unhealthy and would make weight loss impossible. <-- both are untrue. John

Society for 21st Century Thomism: Call for Papers
On Citizenship
Deadline for Submission: May 6th, 2019
The proper nature of "citizenship" has been a topic of discussion in the history of political philosophy since the beginning, and one of practical importance to any political regime. Citizens are the basic, material foundation of any state, and so it is important to ask: What makes one a citizen? What rights and privileges do citizens enjoy over non-citizens? What responsibilities should the citizen have in particular? When asking these questions, immediately we see a dichotomy between citizen and non-citizen residents of the state.
Historically, immigration in the United States is tied to citizenship as a telos. That is, the immigrant is encouraged to assimilate, to participate in the existing community and culture. Today, immigration is seen by many as an end in itself, wherein there is no further expectation to assimilate into the community. Here, it is more important to speak of immigrant rights and multicultural cosmopolitanism (i.e., being a "citizen of the world"). For those who adhere strictly to these ideals, it is an affront against the personal dignity of the immigrant to expect assimilation.
This is a difficult problem. On the one hand, we can affirm that immigrants have inherent rights consequent to their dignity as human persons. However, on the other hand, "a house divided against itself cannot stand." Without assimilation, there is a real danger in loosening the bonds that keep the nation together, such that our neighbor is now closer to a stranger. Yet, as Catholics, we also have a Christian duty to help those who are needy and oppressed, which tends to be the prime motivator for those who leave their home country.
The Society for 21st Century Thomism is asking for papers in light of these questions above from an Aristotelian-Thomistic foundation. Papers should address these questions in a Neo-Thomistic fashion, that is, not merely by summarizing St. Thomas' own comments on citizenship or his replies to similar matters in his own time, but by examining the thought of St. Thomas and later Thomists on these issues to draw conclusions that teach us, in our own time, how to address the particular issues we face now.
We are interested in papers addressing the following questions:
• What is a citizen? What separates a citizen from a non-citizen resident?• What duties do we have as citizens? What rights are we given as citizens?• What expectations do immigrants, as non-citizen residents, have to meet within the community or state?• What rights do immigrants have from the state? • How are citizens and non-citizens justly represented under our democracy?• Who is our "neighbor" in a community? What ties the community together?
Papers on related topics will also be considered. We invite you to submit an abstract by May 6th, 2019. Each paper presentation at the session will be 25 minutes, and an additional 10 minutes for Q&A. We will respond to each submission in mid-to-late May. Please address inquiries and abstracts (the latter as a Microsoft Word file attachment) to this year's session organizer, Francisco E. Plaza, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Since 1926, scholars and thinkers, mostly based in Canada and the United States, have forged a unique tradition and community known as the "American Catholic Philosophical Association." Steeped in classical sources and cultivating the Catholic Philosophical heritage, this tradition is known for creative engagement with major philosophers of every era and bold responses to the themes and issues of contemporary philosophy.

Yes, you should definitely take this as a sign that I am speaking directly to you. Don't you just hate coming into work on a Monday morning and literally having to dig through all of the papers on your desk to find the keyboard? A messy desk is a true and tested way to halt productivity and creativity in their tracks.
On a psychological level, clutter on your office desk even makes you feel unorganised, just like putting on a suit tends to make you act more professional.
So please read on for some expert tips and tricks on how to get your desk more organised.
Get an inbox and a sent box
Not for emails, although I will get to them in a moment. Instead of putting all of the incoming papers just anywhere on your desk, and ending up with a mountain of loose documents; take inspiration from your computer and invest in a box that you can store your 'incoming' and 'working on' papers in. If you want to be extra nifty, you can even get a 'Sent' box and put all completed papers in there, ready to be stored in a proper filing system.
Use a proper filing system
You guessed it! Every week aim to file away the important papers from your Sent box. If there is doubt whether you should keep or toss – either scan it and store it on your computer (in a folder please) or just get rid of it, as 99% of the time when you are in doubt, your subconscious knows you won't ever need it again.
Minimalistic approach
One thing that bugs me is when people have too many trinkets on their desk. Leave the photo of your son next to Mickey Mouse where it belongs – at home. Sure, you need a stapler, a hole-puncher and a calculator etc and it is nice when these are nice looking ones, however if it isn't useful, it shouldn't be there.
Clean and tidy
Your desk needs to be both clean (of germs) and tidy (of clutter). Make it a regular 'to do' item at the end of each day to sweep round and tidy your desk, so you feel good arriving at work the next day to a clean space. Don't forget to clean your desk with antibacterial wipes or spray each Friday night before the weekend to keep those germs at bay.
Organise your emails
Now this might take some time if you have not deleted any emails, ever. Most of us never think to delete items from our inbox and sent box; mainly just the Junk mail. All of these emails, many of which will never see the light of day again, especially those from 2002, need to be waded through and sorted out. Start from the beginning of (the computers') time and allocate a good twenty minutes to do a deleting session. The older they are the more likely you will be able to discard of them and have a faster running computer afterwards.
De-clutter the desktop
It is so easy to save file after file to your desktop, thinking 'I'll be able to access this easily next time' until you have so many unorganised documents scattered over the entire desktop and you can't even see the pretty desktop image behind. Get used to filing them straight to your 'Documents' folder – it might take an extra 60 seconds, but that's instead of the 30 minutes it will take you to wade through and sort out a whole unorganised desktop.

Hendrik Setiawan is proud of his new factory in Tangerang, just opened last June. At 3,000 sqm, it is 10 times bigger than the previous facility he had in south Jakarta, which is now a logistics office. It is a symbol of what Hendrik has achieved and what kind of the growth he expects.
He started selling Mama Roz in 2005 and now his bottled fresh juice is sold in three major cities—Bandung, Jakarta and Surabaya and in over 100 stores in such prominent chains as Ranch Market, Sogo and Hypermarts. Rising incomes means people tend to shift towards healthier and more convenient products such as bottled juice.
The fruit juice industry growth over the last three years is around 17% a year with an estimated market size of over Rp 500 billion, according to the Association of Soft Drink Manufacturers. There's plenty of upside given that the juice market is only 5% of the total soft drink industry. The competition is already fierce, however, with products from Unilever's Buavita and Orang Tua representing 45% of the market in 2012 according to Euromonitor.
Hendrik choose to aim at a niche: fruit juice made from fresh fruit without additives or preservatives. It is more expensive than the other juices and has an expiry of just three days, unlike other juices that have preservatives and are pasteurized to extend shelf life. They also usually use fruit concentrate instead of fresh fruit. (Mama Roz juices are not, however, 100% juice, they can have added sugar and other ingredients.)
"The customer may not know about what is fruit concentrate, but once they try our product they can't lie about its taste," Hendrik says. Due to the commitment to freshness and quality, Mama Roz juices are also more expensive, at around Rp 22,000 for 600 ml, usually the most expensive juice on the shelf.
"We started small with ten employees. We did make some brochures and do some advertising, but mostly we relied on word of mouth marketing," Hendrik says, adding that the initial capital was Rp 100 million. At first, Hendrik sold Mama Roz only through direct delivery, mainly to office workers, with a promise to deliver the juice to their office before noon. (The Mama Roz brandname and character on his bottles is fictional, something Hendrick created to promote a wholesome image for his product.)
After only three months Hendrik started retail sales, usually in upscale supermarkets such as Ranch Market. "The product is unique and we checked their standards. The other brand offering a fresh juice is Berri Juice, where the juice is made in front of buyers and bottled. However it only offers orange juice, while Mama Roz has more varieties," says Nandy Firmansyah, Ranch Market store manager at the Pacific Place shopping mall in Jakarta. Nandy says that his store places 4,000 bottles each week on their shelves, and it rarely is left unsold. Popular flavors include strawberry and guava.

1. FC Cologne
Today's hosts are starting to get a little more hope, but they are not allowed to relax either, because the league is still very far away. They are under pressure and have to win against Augsburg. Judging from the individual quality of the rivals, this could also be a good chance for Cologne. But the people of Cologne have often fooled, while Augsburg is very good.
The Billy Goats have a series of three victories. Twice they won at home and in the last round away at direct competitor HSV. It was not a very good game, but they scored in the first and second halves and scored important points. The hero was new signing striker Terodde, who scored both goals. Osako and Clemens were in the game, instead of Klutner and Zoller. Now Koziello should play.
FC Augsburg
In contrast to today's hosts Augsburg can play without any pressure. The team has already reached their goal and is in the upper half of the table. She can even fight for the international rankings. In the first two games of the second half, the Augsburg have won at home against HSV and lost in the last round away in M'gladbach.
It ended 0-2, while they had no notable scoring chances. They conceded the first goal early on, which brought them out of balance and conceded the second goal in the closing stages. They have dominated against HSV and could win even without the great striker Finnbogason. He came back in the last round but did not shine and was replaced by Opare at half-time. Now we expect that coach Baum will again put up both mentioned players and that should start the same starting eleven as in the last round.
1.FC Köln – FC Augsburg TIP
Cologne is under pressure, but plays better lately and a win against Augsburg would be no big surprise. Augsburg is playing solidly this season and could cause problems for today's hosts but not win.

About Us
Story of Antologi
Our story began in 2016, as students, at that time we were experiencing the shortage of place for study and learn new things in Yogyakarta. In libraries and campuses, hours and spaces were limited, meanwhile in restaurants and cafés, prices were often out of reach and noises can be too loud. We then started Antologi with an idea to create a safe, inclusive space for students, young makers and entrepreneurs to study, work, and hopefully can learn from each other.
Antologi is committed to continue supporting young people through partnership and programs that offers free and or affordable membership to communities and startups whose work represent our value of exchanging knowledge.
