Electrophysiology is the study of electrical properties of biological cells. Electrophysiology devices are used for diagnosing and treating abnormal electrical activities in the heart, brain and eyes. The market for electrophysiology devices is expected to grow impressively with the rise in prevalence of cardiac diseases, increasing healthcare expenditure and technological advancements. With the rising adoption of ablation techniques especially for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, the electrophysiology market is expected to grow rapidly. On the other hand, strict regulatory approvals, high costs associated with devices coupled with availability of alternate medications are some of the challenges faced by the electrophysiology devices market.
The market for electrophysiology devices primarily comprises electrophysiology monitoring devices and treatment devices. Monitoring devices used in electrophysiology include electrocardiograph, electroencephalograph, electromyography, electroretinograph, diagnostic catheters and others. These devices enable physicians to understand the nature and origin of abnormal electrical impulses generating in the single ion channel cells to organs like the heart, brain and eyes. The outcomes help physicians in proper decision-making regarding treatment options, whether a patient needs medication or should opt for cardiac arrhythmic device implantation or catheter assisted ablation. Catheter ablation is a relatively new technique compared to implantation of cardiac arrhythmias devices. Due to its minimal invasive nature and efficacy, catheter ablation is the most commonly used treatment option for atrial fibrillation and other cardiac arrhythmias.
North America constitutes the largest market for electrophysiology devices. Factors such as presence of large number of well-equipped healthcare facilities, rising prevalence of diseases (cardiac arrhythmias, ophthalmic disorders and epilepsy) that require electrophysiology monitoring, and established healthcare policies providing access to better healthcare facilities are driving the market in the region. The fact that majority of the key players in the electrophysiology market including Medtronic Inc., St. Jude Medical and Boston Scientific are based in the U.S. and consider this as their primary revenue generating market, also acts as a driver. In addition, economic liberalization in emerging nations such as India, China, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and Russia is attracting manufacturers to shift their focus to these regions. The above mentioned shift in focus will help Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW) to increase their market share during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific has been anticipated to emerge as the fastest growing geography during the forecast period from 2013 to 2019.
Some of the key market players of the global electrophysiology devices market include St. Jude Medical, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Inc., Philips Healthcare and others. To gain a proficient market share, manufacturers are coming up with innovative products. The global electrophysiology devices market includes companies such as Abbott Laboratories, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Inc., GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, St. Jude Medical among others.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — The polls are still open but time is running out for you to vote in this summer's Sprite Slam Dunk Showdown.
You have until Friday to get your votes in (and you can vote as often as you'd like) for the 10 semifinalists, who were already announced and highlighted here at the Hideout last month.
We're trying to identify the best dunkers in the land by trimming that list of semifinalists to four finalists. The winner earns the title as the best amateur dunker in the nation, a lofty title by most anyone's standard.
(Do you really think dunk legends like Dominique Wilkins and Darryl Dawkins would be involved if this wasn't serious business?)
That's why we have to admit to being more than just a little amped up about this summer's Sprite Slam Dunk Showdown. Now it's up to us, the dunk-loving public, to pick the four finalists chasing the crown of the best amateur dunker in the land.
Without a summer league to speak of and no highlights to be found, the work these semifinalists have put in is the best elixir for those of us in need of a high-flying/acrobatic dunk cure. So check them out and vote so we can watch them square off for the title in Orlando during All-Star Weekend.
And for the record, if Zach "Jonsey" Jones and Brandon "Werm" Lacue don't make the top four, we'll be petitioning the good folks Sprite for a recount.
Remember, the polls close Aug. 12, so hurry up and vote.

I think it's your grandmother [Margaretha] seated in the center with my grandmother [Maria] standing behind her. I don't know who the man is and the other two must be daughters. Can you identify them?" So far I can't. I think the photo must be a later anniversary than their Silver (25th) in 1892, as everyone looks much older than they would have been in 1892. Their birth years were Johann 1836, Catharina 1843, August 1868, Maria (Mary) 1869, Apollonia (Leona) 1871, Catherine (Katy) 1875, Dorothea (Dora) 1877, Margaretha (Gretchen) 1881.

How to Prepare Garden Soil for Spring Planting
Article written by P. Allen Smith
Probably one of the most understated yet thrilling sights in a garden is a plot of freshly worked up soil ready for planting. Oh the possibilities!
Seeing rich, workable soil makes me giddy because it is the foundation for a great garden. When you get the soil right, the plant roots are happy and when the plant roots are happy, the plants are happy. Good soil is friable, meaning that it crumbles easily, which allows air and water to trickle down to the roots, facilitating growth. In turn robust roots increase the water and nutrient intake necessary for healthy and productive plants.
Very few of us are blessed with a ready-to-plant garden. Rather, we are cursed with too much clay or too much sand. With either scenario the solution is the same - humus. Humus in the form of compost and aged manure will break up heavy clay. On the other hand, if your soil is sandy, humus aids water retention plus delivers a dose of organic nutrients. Dig these amendments into your soil before planting and you'll set yourself up for a bountiful garden.
Now before you picture yourself toiling the day away with a shovel and pick, keep in mind that the right tools make all the difference. In fact, employing the help of a tiller or cultivator can be quite enjoyable and self-satisfying as you transform bare ground into a flower bed or vegetable garden.
A tiller is an especially useful tool if you are creating new bed space in unbroken ground. To begin, first loosen the earth about 12 inches deep with your tiller. Once the ground has been prepped, layer on 3 inches of compost and 3 inches of well-rotted manure and then grab your tiller and work the amendments into the soil. At the farm we use the Bronco CRT Garden Tiller. It's small and lightweight, but sturdy. The counter rotating tines make it easy to operate and provide greater control.
If you are revitalizing a raised bed, use equal parts compost and manure plus fresh soil as needed. For new raised beds, combine 1 part compost, 1 part manure and 2 parts soil. A cultivator will make quick work of mixing everything together. A cultivator is the 'lite' version of a tiller. They are great for working in established planting areas. I really like the GC720 TrimmerPlus® Add-On Cultivator. It attaches to the end of my string trimmer and the adjustable width (5 to 9 inches) is perfect for small spaces where a tiller won't fit. I use it all growing season to side dress vegetables, add compost and even weed.

"I like to pick sides. I like a book to bleed a little. Even if everything is meaningless, I still want it to hurt." -- Lydia Netzer"Of course working in a porn store taught me about creating nuanced characters, and effective pacing over multiple timelines."-- Lydia Netzer
"Writing is our defense against the abyss. I picture the shelves of a library like fortifications, protecting us and defining us from darkness, swinging clubs and grunts and dullness."-- Lydia Netzer
Okay, now stop reading Lydia Netzer quotes.
Read the Q and A below. Read her debut novel -- SHINE SHINE SHINE.
And if you want to WIN an audio copy,
where there's a giveaway in action.
Research. We all have to do it. Sometimes it's delicious, sometimes brutal. Tell us a tale from the research trenches.
Here's one that seems much weirder in retrospect than it did at the time. I knew that I wanted my main character, Sunny, to be born during a total solar eclipse, and I knew that I wanted her to be nearing the age of thirty at the time of the novel. So I started looking at different eclipses that would have occurred around 30 years ago, and settled on Saros 145, an eclipse in 1981, during which the totality would have been visible from Burma (now Myanmar.) In a way I settled on this setting arbitrarily, but in a way it was geographically dictated by science. Arbitrarily or not, I decided Sunny was born in Burma in 1981 during this eclipse, and after that I had to figure out why her parents were there, how to get them back to the US, and what could happen to them that would cause her father's mysterious death.
What kind of child were you, inside of what kind of childhood, and how did it shape you as a writer?
I am adopted, and was raised in a very non-traditional family. My adopted mother was 62 when I was born. I was privileged with horses and music lessons and travel, but I was always fascinated with "normal" families and would fill notebooks with very boring descriptions of the mundane lives of characters who had mother-and-father families with sister-and-brother problems. The character I wrote most about was named "Liz" and her darkest frustrations involved taming her unruly hair. She had a barn full of horses, and I think once she tripped and landed in a pile of horse manure just as a hot guy was walking by. And that was a major event. The extent to which I would elaborate the boring details of her family's life is a little psychotic in hindsight. But it genuinely took me a long time, in college, to realize that writing was about igniting conflict, not creating pretty fantasies. Getting to the point where I could write about dark things in my own brain -- that took even longer.
People always talk about the writers they aspired to emulate. I'd love to know the writers you most hated as you were coming up and how those tastes shaped you.
I love a goofy comedy. In fact P.G. Wodehouse is one of my favorite authors, as is Patrick McManus. However I've really never liked that sort of bloodless, detached "funny" book full of social criticism that comes across as empty, to me, despite being stylistically maximalist. When I was a kid I tried to read The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and couldn't get through it. Not because I wasn't intellectually sophisticated enough -- but because the snide detachment of it upset me. There are three books in my life that I've actually thrown into the trash, and that was one of them. I know people love it, and I respect that! But I don't see the point of watching a game where both teams suck, or looking at politics and saying "They're all crooks" or writing books where everything is meaningless or symbolic of something meaningless and the point of it all is to illustrate pointlessness. I like to pick sides. I like a book to bleed a little. Even if everything is meaningless, I still want it to hurt.
I've been a manure-slinger, a burrito-stuffer, a teacher, a porno video store clerk, a receptionist, a web designer, an advice columnist, and a book doctor. Being a book doctor really shaped me as a writer. I learned something useful from every manuscript I worked on, and seeing the flaws and potential in other people's novels helped me to look at mine more objectively. It also helped me to trust other people to see my novels better than I do, and to take their advice seriously. Of course working in a porn store taught me about creating nuanced characters, and effective pacing over multiple timelines.
Was there an extremely influential writing teacher who great impact on your writing life?
Well I always like to remember the one guy who told me "Just go out and TRY to get something like this published, and see what happens." He meant it like "You idiot, you think your nonsensical garbage could ever be marketable? Enjoy your inevitable despair." But I always found it very motivating.
One of my teachers in graduate school that I am very fond of is Cris Mazza. She used to say to me that reading my fiction was like climbing up the face of a cliff, and that some of my paragraphs felt like falling backward off that cliff. Of course, these were usually my favorite paragraphs. I have learned, though, that pushing my reader backwards off a cliff is not something that I should be doing. I've learned to temper those departures, ground them, make them more accessible.
There's one paragraph in the book that starts like "It is dark inside the body. The things that go on there cannot be seen." This was definitely a falling backwards off a cliff paragraph, and it's actually one of the only bits that survived the very first draft. It's the oldest piece of writing in the book, but it's been edited and contextualized until now I hope that if you're still falling backward, at least you feel you have a parachute.
Pep talk (or bootie-kicking) for the downhearted writer. Let fly.
Writing is our defense against the abyss. I picture the shelves of a library like fortifications, protecting us and defining us from darkness, swinging clubs and grunts and dullness. Or from some swirling vortex of lack. We all need to keep filling those shelves with the best books we can possibly write.
Writing is the ultimate populist activity. Known and unknown, writers are scribbling furiously all up and down the human timeline, trying to figure out history, and document it and describe it in fiction, our best way of communicating. We all have the same bodies, from Homer down to Thomas Hardy, to Hilary Mantel. We all have access to the same vocabulary. The chance to participate in this is monumental effort, and create this wall of culture, where my book has the same dimensions and physicality as Ishiguro's, the same parts of speech as Desai's, is staggering. You and I are writing from right now, here today, and I want our corner of the library shelf to be strong.

Slap on your skinny jeans, and get on a hog, because Harley-Davidson is pitching motorcycles to America's favorite disgruntled demographic: the hipster. For pursuing today's young and ironically image-oriented subculture, you can't really fault a company like Harley-Davidson for this move, seeing as it markets its brand around this notion of conformity through non-conformity.
Copying the vintage art house film style of that we see so often on Vimeo (frame borders, sepia tones, and all), I will steal a line from AutoBlog's Jonathon Ramsey and say that Harley-Davidson has nailed the Instagram style on its head with this one…right down to its guitar-string audio track and percolating coffee pot cameo appearance.

Classes are once a week or on weekends, giving you the ability to pursue your MSN degree. Cohorts begin every fall semester and last for seven semesters.
If you already have acquired a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, we offer a 30% tuition discount for the Master of Science in Nursing program.
The course plan has adopted the specialty standards Nurse Educator Competencies set forth by the Council on Collegiate Education for Nursing, Southern Regional Education Board (2002). Graduates are eligible to sit for the Nursing Professional Development national certification examination. In addition, graduates meeting all other eligibility requirements are also eligible to sit for the Nurse Administration and/or Advanced national certification examination. Graduates can practice in academic, clinical, institutional, or community settings.

Clinical Professor of Law Carol Izumi and her husband, Chancellor & Dean Frank H. Wu, have established the Oshima Family Scholarship Fund to help support UC Hastings students committed to public interest careers.
The fund, to which Wu and Izumi will donate $25,000 annually during his deanship, is named in honor of Izumi's late mother, Misao "Iris" Oshima, and her extended family.
"My mother's family came from Japan to California more than a century ago," says Izumi. "My grandfather ran a general store in Sacramento that served Japanese American farmers in the area. During World War II, when Japanese Americans were evacuated from the West Coast, the Oshimas were sent to the Tule Lake internment camp. This gift is named for them because of the roots they put down in Northern California and because higher education and service to the community were important to the Oshima family."

Discovering Slopes
Lesson 8 of 15
Objective: SWBAT compute the slope of a line, graphically and algebraically.
Big Idea: The rate at which one quantity changes with respect to another can be determined either by computation or by looking at a graph.
Accessing Prior Knowledge
Accessing Prior Knowledge
Certain topics that had been part of the 9th grade CCSS, are no longer included because students are expected to have achieved fluency with them by the end of 8th grade. This particular lesson targets 8.EE.B.5 & 8.EE.B.6. Yet, it is worth studying because it provides good groundwork review before taking on the 9th grade standards, particular those under Creating Equations and Reasoning with Equations domains.
To begin the lesson, I project the following problem on the whiteboard (APK_Chuck) and ask each student to read it to themselves and write their answer in their notebooks. One reason to start with this problem is that it is a rate of change problem and intuitively easier than using lines and slope.
The subtraction of the pounds and months are changes and weight vs time is a popular idea. This makes the slope formula easier to understand and it helps make sense of positive, negative, and zero rates of change.
"Mr. and Mrs. Happychuck had a healthy baby boy named Chuck who weighed 7.5 pounds at birth. At the end of 4 months, the baby weighed 13.5 pounds. What is Chuck's weight age ratio at 4 months?
(Call on a student to answer; the ratio is 13.5 pounds to 4 months or (13.5)/4)
It is important to make sure that the students always mention the units involved, in this case, pounds and months. Then ask the students to calculate the rate of change of Chuck's weight, that is, how much he gained per month. Ask a volunteer to go to the board and do the work:
Students usually will say that Chuck gained 6 pounds in 4 months. Ask them to say the amount gained in one month. Most will know they must reduce (or divide)
Students should say Chuck gained weight at a rate of 1.5 pounds per month.
Tell the students that we will be computing the slope of a line, and that slope is calculated in very much the same way.

New Info/Application
New Info/Application:
I begin the lesson by projecting the resource (plane_slope) and I ask all the students to analyze the picture of the airplane taking off. I tell them that slope is a synonym for steepness and it is calculated much like the Chuck problem in the APK.
I ask students to indicate how high the plane has elevated from the first snapshot to the third, and write it down in their notebooks. Each unit can be taken to equal 10 meters.
Then ask students to determine how much has the plane has flown horizontally form the 1st to the 3rd snapshot. The nose of the plane could be used as a reference point to find both values.
Common error: Some students follow an oblique path when asked to find the vertical change of the plane. Make it clear that to find vertical change is like finding the height of something and a line going up or down is used. In this case a vertical line from the lowest point chosen to the highest.
I as that students write these two values in ratio form and explain to students that the definition of slope is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change in the steepness of a line, commonly referred to as rise over run. (students should see that the slope is 6/18 or 1/3). Affirm that the slope is positive.
Use the thumb rule to gauge students understanding and point out how to measure rise and run by counting the number of x-units and y-units between the two points on the graph.
This is a good time to demonstrate to students that if were going down from the 3rd nose and left to the 1st nose of the snapshots, we would obtain -6/-18 which is equal to 1/3.
Then I call on a voluteer student to come up and draw a straight line from the nose of plane 1 to plane 3. Ask to mark the point where the nose of "plane 1" is and the same goes for "plane 3" Tell students that these are preferably points because they are at intersections of the vertical and horizontal white grid lines. Label them with their proper coordinate pair. Instruct students that the formula for finding slope of a line is m= y2 -y1 / x1-x2 where the coordinates of two points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
Students should find the slope of the airplane path using the slope formula.
Have students do the same for different points on the line, for example, going from nose 1 to nose 2. They will see that the slope is always 1/3.
Scaffold: Resource: slopeFormula_scaffold
Partner Activity
- Divide the class into pairs of students. Each pair needs to draw x and y axes on a sheet of graph paper.
- Draw the following two T-charts on the board and have partners plot the points, draw the graph and find the slope of each using the slope formula.
- Have students discuss their results. (the first chart does not represent a line so they will not be able to find the slope; the second chart represents a line with slope 3)
- Discuss solutions with the class.
Resources (3)
Have students remain in pairs and hand each group a ramp_slope"wrap up" card. (see resource)
The task takes us back to the objective of the lesson and includes a negative slope.
I indicate that one member should graphically find the slope of the ramp by using the image and the other partner should find two points and use the slope formula. At the end, each student should compare answers and discuss the matter if any of them made a mistake. Students should discuss, how each obtained their answer. (-1/7)
Homework: Resource: HW_Discovering Slopes
Extension: Ask students to find the slope of a vertical and a horizontal line and explain their answer mathematically.

Heeding civil grand jury criticism, Alameda County plans to tighten up the way departments evaluate and oversee contracts held by hundreds of private companies and nonprofits.
That would mean regular evaluations of 251 community-based groups that received $520 million in the 2012-13 budget for services that range from substance abuse rehab programs to AIDS prevention education.
In addition, the General Services Agency, which oversees large-dollar contracts, will begin developing a system to measure and track performance by vendors, such as food concessionaire Aramark and Corizon Health Inc., which provide services to Santa Rita Jail in Dublin and North County Jail in Oakland.
Alameda County supervisors in June awarded a $32 million contract extension to Corizon based on a two-page letter from the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, which administers the jails.
The GSA will begin working with staff to make sure evaluation information makes it into letters to the board recommending contract renewals under new guidelines proposed in response to the 2011-12 Alameda County civil grand jury report released in June. The 19-member panel is made up of nominees selected each year to act as an independent review board. The recommendations are not binding, but they require a formal response, which the county provided Tuesday during the regular Board of Supervisors meeting.
The grand jury also recommended increasing scrutiny of nonprofits when their contracts are up for renewal. In addition, jurors found fault with agencies such as Social Services and Health Care Services for weak oversight of nonprofit groups.
The county agreed to help the agencies develop a process for evaluating the community-based organizations based on their performance, including specific measures.
Underperforming organizations will receive training, as well as financial incentives if they are eligible. Staff will commit to more extensive on-site visits by staff as personnel levels permit. "The bottom line is you have to have results," Supervisor Keith Carson said.
The county, he said, has been aware of the problem for some time and began trying to improve criteria. Five years ago, organizations were put on notice that they would face stricter scrutiny. The county provided the carrot to the stick by offering training.
"It wasn't enough," Carson said. The training needed to be individualized based on the organization's needs and should have included follow-ups.
The county agreed with jurors' recommendation that the Measure A oversight committee evaluate how efficiently approximately $100 million in Measure A taxpayer dollars are being spent by the Alameda County Medical Center and other health-related programs.
Measure A tax dollars represent a "significant commitment of public funds," as Alameda County Administrator Susan Muranishi noted in the response letter. Measure A money, however, cannot be used to ensure organizations receiving the tax dollars are producing outcomes, Muranishi added.
The county also accepted the recommendation for stricter oversight of Joint Powers Authorities, but fell short of committing to any specific changes. Jurors were responding to the financial meltdown involving the Associated Community Action Program, a nonprofit created under a JPA.
The county committed to developing an inventory of all JPA agreements within six months and determining the appropriate role for county agencies and the auditor-controller.
Jurors also singled out the county's Camp Sweeney juvenile probation facility, which the jury wrote "remains outdated and in need of complete replacement."
In addition, they recommended consolidating the Oakland and Alameda County Sheriff's Office crime labs because of an "unacceptable backlog of forensic testing requests," particularly in Oakland.
Supervisors are looking at issues with Camp Sweeney and the crime lab and are open to exploring regional models and partnerships, spokeswoman Laura Lloyd-Jenkins said.

Chavez pitches A's to sweep of Rangers in 12-1 win
May. 01, 2014
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Eric Sogard and the Oakland Athletics finished off their answer to a three-game sweep by Texas on the West Coast last week.
Jesse Chavez allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings, Sogard matched his season total with three RBIs on Wednesday night and the Oakland Athletics completed a sweep in Texas with a 12-1 rout of the sloppy Rangers.
Yoenis Cespedes had two doubles, scored twice and drove in two runs for the A's, who scored 10 runs combined in the third and fourth innings to complete the sweep in a series that started with the teams tied atop the AL West.
"We didn't enjoy them coming in sweeping us and then losing the last two in Houston," Sogard said. "It kind of really made us wake up a little bit. Our pitching was fantastic and we were able to put some runs on the board."
The Rangers matched a season high with four errors, including one of two by shortstop Elvis Andrus on what could have been an inning-ending double play in Oakland's seven-run third.
Chavez (2-0) walked one and struck out eight, allowing only Prince Fielder's soft line-drive single to right-center field in the first inning. The A's improved to 6-0 in his starts.
"We've seen that game a few times already this year," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "Quality stuff all the time. Mechanics are terrific. Keeps guys off balance."
Robbie Ross (1-2) gave up 11 hits and 10 runs in 3 1-3 innings, the shortest outing of the left-hander's first season as a starter. Just six runs were earned because of Andrus' second error in Texas' fourth straight loss.
"It snowballed on me quick," Ross said. "This is one of those games where you want to forget about and move on. That's what everyone tells me."
Alberto Callaspo and Derek Norris had three hits each among a season-high 17 for Oakland. Two of Norris' hits were infield singles on choppers to Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre and played big roles in Oakland building a quick 10-0 lead.
The burly catcher hustled to beat Beltre's throw for the fifth straight Oakland hit in the third. Two runs scored on the next one an inning later. Craig Gentry came home as Beltre's throw skipped past Fielder, and right fielder Alex Rios got the second error on the play when his throw to try to get Cespedes at home went to the backstop.
Andrus, who went 0 for 2 before coming out after five innings and has one hit in his past 28 at-bats, had his other error in the first inning when Josh Donaldson's routine grounder jumped up and hit his hand and the throw went several feet over Fielder's head.
"There's going to be times either defense or offense are not on the same level," Andrus said. "Today was both."
Cespedes had a two-run double for a 3-0 Oakland lead in the third before the first of Norris' infield hits. Callaspo followed with an easy grounder to Andrus, but the ball went between his legs into center field.
Sogard later made it 7-0 with a two-run single and added an RBI single in the fourth as Oakland outscored Texas 25-4 in the three games.
"It seems like there was carry-over every game," Melvin said. "The quality of our at-bats throughout the whole lineup. Everybody contributed. That's when we're at our best."
Coco Crisp hit his third homer of the season, a solo shot to right field in the sixth for a 12-0 lead. It was the only homer of the series in a ballpark that's never had a three-game set without at least one home run.
Texas ended the shutout in the eighth when Josh Wilson's double off reliever Luke Gregerson scored Leonys Martin.
NOTES: A's RHP A.J. Griffin had elbow-ligament replacement surgery in Houston on Wednesday, becoming the second Oakland starter lost to the season-ending procedure this year. Jarrod Parker underwent the same surgery before the season. ... Rangers manager Ron Washington said Shin-Soo Choo would return to LF on Friday at the Los Angeles Angels. Choo was DH for the second straight game after being out of the starting lineup for a week with a sprained left ankle. ... Josh Reddick walked in the third to snap Ross' streak of 21 1-3 innings without a walk.

Mallinsons Does It Again
It was first spotted at the Harlequin festival in Sheffield a couple of weeks ago, Dave 'Unpronounceable's' 30th birthday bash. He helped Tara brew it and suggested the strength and the hops used I believe - his is the face on the pump clip. There was another version especially for the festival, 'Let There Be More Hops' which, judging by the amount of hops in the original version, must have been one of the hoppiest beers of the year.
As I have said before, Mallinsons just go from strength to strength as a brewery and Tara can successfully turn her hand to all sorts of beer. Her latest offering is another mild, 'Marina Mild' which will be a totally different beast to the previous one and no doubt equally as good. If you have not tried a Mallinson's beer yet, what are you waiting for ?

I agree, and nice to see Nelson Sauvin hops being used. They are underrated as a hop, i think, and not used anywhere near enough in beers these days.
- 26 April 2009 at 13:23
Well what can I say the girls have done it again. A fantastic mild on our bar at the moment 'Marina Mild' very very drinkable probably wont be on very long. So yet again congratulations Tara & Elaine.

Was fortunate enough to sample the odd pint, or four of the Marina Mild yesterday and it was a superb beer, well worth searching out. And hopefully widely available during May, the Mild month. Tim

Thanks Tim for your kind words once more. It was mainly Dave's recipe to be honest, my main job was reigning him back on the amount of hops he wanted to put in ! Glad people have enjoyed it, it went off on SUnday night, but the new pub in town, the Sportsman has some in their lovely big cellar! Tara

Quick Release Bracket
The Quick Release Brackets make Exposure Lights simple to setup, securely attach and remove from your bike.
Intelligent Thermal Management
Controlling the temperature of the LEDs is important in ensuring that the lights remain as efficient as possible. Patented technology in the circuitry of Exposure Lights stop the light from heating up to a point where the light loses power due to the elevated temperature.
Cycle light technology has moved on greatly over the years, traditional 'bulb' lights have been more or less replaced by LED and HID systems. Battery, lens and reflector technology has been improved greatly resulting in brighter and longer run times. Wiggle lists a large selection of bicycle lights suitable for lit streets in the city, or unlit country lanes and even bike lights suitable for off road riding, ranging from around £8 to over £300 they vary greatly in purpose and performance. Tiny LED's with flashing or constant modes are great for being seen in built up areas, whilst rechargeable systems can keep the road or off-road trails lit up for non-stop riding at night.
All electrical goods sold on wiggle that come with a mains power supply are supplied with a UK plug. Please check the product description to see if any other plugs are known to be included in the box, otherwise you may need an adapter for use in your country. Most power adapters will accept 110-240 Volts.
In order to cycle on the road it may be a legal requirement in your country to use a light certified to a specific standard or an international equivalent. Most but not all lights sold on Wiggle are certified and labelled with a European CEN standard. Please check your country's requirements to see if this is sufficient and if necessary contact the manufacturer to see if this light has been additionally certified for your country. Strangely some of the very best lights are not legal on their own and should be used with an additional legal backup light.
Exposure are makers of lightweight powerful cycle lights, developed by racers and riders, Exposure Lights aim is to meet the needs of the modern day cyclist. Gone are the days of carrying around that bottle battery pack or clumsy batteries. Gone are the days of your cables and leads catching on branches, or having a loose connection on that bumpy dark descent. Just clip these Exposure lights into place, and you're off – simple. Using ultra lightweight mobile technology, Exposure Lights are small enough to fit in your pocket, and powerful enough to race with. Exposure LED & lens technology produces a clear white beam that will light up your journey.

Plot Summary:
Once upon a time, in the faraway kingdom of Dor, there was magic in the air, raucous laughter aplenty and gallons of mouth-watering soup. But a terrible accident left the king broken-hearted, the princess filled with longing and the townsfolk despondent. All hope was lost in a land where sunlight disappeared and the world became dreary gray. Until Despereaux Tilling was born... A brave and virtuous mouse, Despereaux is simply too big for his small world. Though tiny, wheezy and saddled with comically oversized ears, Despereaux refuses to live a life of weakness and fear...believing he was destined to be celebrated in the tales of chivalry he so adores. When he's banished from his home for not following the rules that society expects of a mouse, Despereaux befriends fellow outcast Roscuro, a good-hearted rat who can't bear to look in the mirror and hopes to live far from the grim underground of his kind. While Despereaux begins his noble quest to rescue Pea--a princess who can't see beyond her distorted view of the world--his pal Roscuro receives a painful rejection from her highness that sets him on a course of self-destruction. Along their parallel adventures, the two encounter colorful characters from a serving girl who wishes to be a princess to the evil leader of the sewer rats, who plots revenge on humans from his fiefdom in the subterranean shadows he relishes but Roscuro can't abide. From the highest turrets of the glittering castle to the dankest dark of Dor's sewers, friendships will be tested as Despereaux and Roscuro embark upon a journey that will change the way they look at their world--and themselves--forever. In this tale of bravery, forgiveness and redemption, one tiny creature will teach a kingdom that it takes only a little light to show that what you look like doesn't equal what you are.

Technical Standards
The goal of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, College of Health Professions (COHP) is to prepare students for the practice of the professions of cytotechnology, dental hygiene, health information management, medical technology, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. This includes undergraduate education and graduate education, where applicable. Modern health professions education requires that the accumulation of scientific knowledge be accompanied by the simultaneous acquisition of essential skills, functions and professional attitudes and behavior. The faculty of the College of Health Professions have a responsibility to graduate the best possible practitioners and graduate students; therefore, admission to educational programs in the College is offered only to those who present the highest qualifications for education and training in the art and science of the respective health professions.
Applicants to programs of the College must possess the following general qualities: critical thinking, sound judgment, emotional stability and maturity, empathy, physical and mental stamina, and the ability to learn and function in a wide variety of didactic and clinical settings. Graduates of the College must have the minimal skills, essential functions and knowledge to function in a broad variety of clinical settings, while rendering a wide spectrum of healthcare services.
The faculty of the COHP have a responsibility for the welfare of the patients treated or otherwise affected by students enrolled in the College as well as for the educational welfare of its students relative to the educational programs of the College. In order to fulfill this responsibility the Committees on Admissions for the various professional programs of the College maintain that certain minimal technical standards must be present in applicants to the various educational programs of the College. Candidates for the bachelor of science degree, as well as those enrolled in any graduate education programs of the College, must have the following essentials: motor skills; sensory/observational skills; communication skills; intellectual-conceptual, integrative, and quantitative abilities; and behavioral/social skills and professionalism.
The Committees on Admissions, in accordance with Section 504 of the 1973 Vocational Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (PL101-336) have established the aforementioned essential functions of students in the educational programs offered by the COHP.
These Committees on Admissions will consider for admission applicants who demonstrate the ability to perform, or to learn to perform, the essential skills listed in this document. The College must ensure that patients are not placed in jeopardy by students with impaired intellectual, physical or emotional functions. Students will be judged not only on their scholastic accomplishments, but also on their physical and emotional capacities to meet the full requirements of the College´s curricula and to graduate as skilled and effective practitioners.
The essential abilities listed in this document can be accomplished through direct student response, the use of prosthetic or orthotic devices, or through personal assistance, e.g., readers, signers, note-takers. The responsibility for the purchase of prosthetic or orthotic devices serving a student in meeting the abilities noted remains with the student and/or agency supporting the student. The College will assist with this accomplishment, as required by law and institutional policy.
Upon admission, a student who discloses a properly certified disability will receive reasonable accommodation but must be able to perform the essential functions of the curriculum and meet the standards described herein for the program in which the student is enrolled. Possible accommodations include opportunities for individual and group counseling, peer counseling, linkages with community services, faculty advisory committees whose members are aware of disabled students and their needs, career counseling, assistance with job searches and interview skills, and extended test taking time, if and when appropriate. Students seeking accommodations should initiate their request in the Office of the Dean, COHP at 930 Madison Ave., 6th Floor or the Office of Students with Disabilities, Student Academic Support Services at 8 S. Dunlap, Room BB9, General Education Building.
In addition to the general standards described above, each professional program requires additional specific standards.

Additional Technical Standards For Physical Therapy Students
Motor Skills:
The delivery of physical therapy requires gross and fine motor control. Students in the Department of Physical Therapy must have the physical strength, stamina, and motor control to lift and transfer patients, assist patients with ambulation, stand for prolonged periods of time, perform CPR, and perform all other activities associated with patient care. Candidates must have sufficient manual dexterity, strength and endurance to engage in physical therapy procedures that involve palpating, grasping, pushing, pulling, and holding. Additionally, the student must be able to ensure the safety of the patient at all times.
Sensory/Observational Skills:
Students in the Department of Physical Therapy must be able to observe demonstrations and participate in all educational experiences as required in the curriculum. Students must be able to observe patients and be able to obtain an appropriate medical history directly from the patient or guardian. Such observation and participation necessitates the functional use of vision, hearing, and other sensory modalities.
Communication Skills:
Students in the Department of Physical Therapy must be able to communicate in English effectively and sensitively with patients. In addition, students must be able to communicate in English in oral and written form with faculty, other healthcare providers, and peers in the classroom, laboratory, and clinical settings. Such communication skills include hearing, speaking, and reading and writing in English. Students must have the ability to complete reading assignments and search and evaluate the literature. Students must be able to complete written assignments and maintain written records. Students must also have the ability to use therapeutic communication, such as attending, clarifying, coaching, facilitating, and touching. These skills must be performed in clinical settings, as well as the didactic and laboratory environments.
Intellectual/Conceptual, Integrative, and Qualitative Skills:
Students in the Department of Physical Therapy must have the ability to measure, calculate, reason, analyze, and synthesize data. Problem solving and diagnosis, including obtaining, interpreting, and documenting data, are critical skills demanded of physical therapists which require all of these intellectual abilities. These skills allow students to make proper assessments, sound judgments, appropriately prioritize therapeutic interventions, and measure and record patient care outcomes. Students must have the ability to use computers for searching, recording, storing, and retrieving information. In addition, students must be able to comprehend three-dimensional relationships and understand the spatial relationships of anatomic structures.
Behavioral/Social Skills and Professionalism:
Students in the Department of Physical Therapy must demonstrate attributes of empathy, integrity, concern for others, interpersonal skills, interest, and self motivation, as such qualities are assessed not only during the admissions process but throughout physical therapy education. Students must be able to exercise sound judgment, complete the responsibilities attendant to the evaluation and care of patients, and develop mature, sensitive, and effective relationships with patients. Students must be able to adapt to ever-changing environments, display flexibility, respect individual differences and learn to function in the face of uncertainties and stresses that are inherent in the educational process, as well as the clinical problems of many patients.
Students must have the ability to be appropriately assertive, delegate responsibilities appropriately, and function as part of a physical therapy team. Such abilities require the organizational skills and initiative necessary to meet deadlines and manage time.

Twitter and Pinterest have experienced the biggest rises in revenue per visitor (RPV) over the last 12 months, though Facebook continues to dominate the share of social referral traffic to ecommerce sites.
These findings are from Adobe's first annual Social Media Intelligence report, which looks at social media trends based on data across retail, media, entertainment, and travel websites.
Here are a few highlights from the report...
Revenue per visitor
The stats suggest that the value of social media marketing has increased over the last 12 months (or marketers are getting the hang of it), with big increases for Twitter and Pinterest.
- Pinterest: RPV up 150% YOY.
- Twitter: up 300% YOY.
- Facebook: up 39% YOY.
Facebook CPC falling
Facebook may be becoming a more appealing prospect for advertisers, with the cost of ads falling by 40%, and CTR increasing (up 275% YOY).
Engagement by post type
It's images FTW it seems. Posts with images produce the highest engagement rate, closely followed by those with video.
This is something we looked at recently with reference to Twitter, and though the results were inconclusive, I can see why this tactic would work well.
The use of images has grown by 8% over the past 12 months, though video use has dropped 40%.

Have you incorporated some or all of another's work in new works that you have created? For example, used movie clips in an online video or music as background for your own images? Did you feel that you needed permission from the copyright owner to do so? If not, was it because you weren't making any money from the use or you felt it was free advertising for the copyright owner? Perhaps you thought it was acceptable as long as you gave proper credit or attribution. Or maybe you thought the work was in the public domain or your use would not hurt the owner because he or she was rich enough already? Any of this sound familiar?
If so, you are certainly not alone. All of these reasons (which are wrong) were documented in a survey done by American University's Center for Social Media and published in 2007 in The Good, The Bad, and The Confusing: User-Generated Video Creators on Copyright.
While the survey received many interesting responses from university students, the conclusion was no surprise: There is a significant need "for better general understanding of the use rights of creators." [referring to copyright use rights.] Although UNCC can provide you with that better general understanding of the use rights of creators, you must take responsibility for your own sense of morality or ethics concerning the taking of other's material, such as music and movies. For reading on the generational divide regarding copyright understanding, see David Pogue's New York Times piece, The Generational Divide in Copyright Morality.
Here you will find reliable, understandable information on copyright. Whatever your motivation for visiting, a basic understanding of copyright - not only what you can't do but, more importantly, what you can do - will only help you in your academic career at UNCC as well as your future endeavors.
Most students are more interested in plagiarism information than they are about copyright infringement, right or wrong. Therefore, it is strongly encouraged that you go on to read the information on plagiarism in general, and particularly, how plagiarism is defined and interpreted at UNC-Charlotte, including the Plagiarism Appendix to your Code of Student Academic Integrity.
This site is for informational purposes only; it does not track or report copyright infringers and is not a source of legal advice. For students, the primary topics of concern appear to be plagiarism and appropriate use of university computer resources. In the interests of placing copyright information for UNCC students in a central location, the following links are provided:
- UNC Charlotte's Copyright Statement
- Copyright Infringement Reminder Memo for Students
- Peer-To-Peer File Sharing Regulation
- Responsible Use of University Computing and Electronic Communication
- Campus Downloading: See the video on a UNCC student's file-sharing encounter with the RIAA. Does it sound like you?
- UNCC's University Policy 315, Copyright Policy
- This is UNC Charlotte's implementation copyright policy pursuant to the University of North Carolina's Copyright Use and Ownership Policy. While it may seem inapplicable to you, as a student, there is a section in the policy that addresses copyright ownership of students works. You should read this section (linked below) because it automatically applies to you, as a condition of enrollment. Since copyright arises automatically as soon as an original work is fixed in a tangible medium of expression, you are all creating copyrighted works when you create papers, projects, and other materials while here. Wouldn't you be interested in knowing who owns your work?
- Class Notes: The UNC-Charlotte Copyright Policy also addresses notes you take in classes here - the short story: Never sell them or give them to any site that sells class notes.

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

Every year at the beginning of autumn, a phenomenon known as "cuffing season" begins. When the cold weather and prolonged indoor activity of the fall and winter months are around the corner, many single people are inspired to "cuff" a new partner.
Cuffing season also marks the end of summer romances, whether because of two lovers going to different schools or because of irreconcilable Netflix-queue differences.
