Excerpt from Stand Lamps for Living Room, Myriads of Designs to Choose:
The standing lamp itself can come in different structures of the pole support. Some of the lamps have super straight poles while some may have the bent types. Some of the designs are focusing on the pole structure, with zigzag patterns, abstract curves, and such thing alike. Choosing a particular design will definitely affect your interior décor and design. For instance, if you choose the one with abstract curves, it will create an interesting focal point, no matter where you place it. Of course, the combination of the right placement and unique design will result in stylish outlook and appearance.

Police officers were bracing for another weekend of so-called "Fugitive" activity, but last week, Police Cmdr. Lee Delk met with an organizer of the games to establish some rules.
"The positive meeting resulted in mutual agreement of the rules and possible negative implications if the rules are not followed," Delk said in a news release Friday.
"The players must stay off private property, including Trophy Club Country Club property, and stay out of parks an hour past sunset."
For about a month on weekends, night-shift patrol officers have responded to reports of large numbers of young people in Harmony Park and in nearby neighborhoods playing the extreme game of tag, organized through social media, a modern version of cops and robbers.
On Monday, Delk said no one has been arrested or cited as part of the game.
"Our primary concern is for the safety of residents and players," he said.
The game includes running on streets, jumping into random yards, hiding in bushes and ducking into shadows.
"The game isn't illegal," Delk told the Star-Telegram. "But you get some kid dressed in black and hiding in someone's backyard in the middle of the night, and there's a potential for problems."
Generally, the games are organized by texting or using social media such as Facebook. Players gather at night and divide into "cops" and "fugitives." The "cops," in cars, chase the "fugitives," on foot. The danger comes in when the "cops" jump out of cars during the chase, or "fugitives" go into strange backyards. In some games, flashlights are used to tag "fugitives."
No major highways are used, but neighborhoods are the playing fields.
"We've told them to stick to the streets," Delk said. "But we have gotten calls from residents saying a stranger is in their backyard or someone just ran on the front yard."
Delk estimated 20 to 30 young people have been involved in games on the weekends, mostly on Friday and Saturday nights. He said police have responded to calls every weekend in April.
"Before that, it was just sporadic," Delk said.
Some young people have been detained by residents who have told officers that they didn't want to press charges.
"Residents have been concerned for the kids' safety," Delk said. "Once an officer gets to the scene, a resident has just wanted us to talk to them, but no one has been arrested."
Delk said residents could pursue charges of criminal trespass against the young players and officers could issue citations for breaking curfew or for traffic violations. Police said the game is risky because residents could mistake players for prowlers or burglars.
"Fugitive" hasn't surfaced as a problem elsewhere in Tarrant County. Fort Worth and Arlington said they have had no reports, nor have Grapevine, Southlake and Keller.
Through the years, the game has resulted in injuries and tragedies. In 2010, a 16-year-old girl and her passenger in Sammamish, Wash., suffered serious injuries when the car they were in crashed into a tree and fence while they were chasing players. Last May a 17-year-old died after he fell from the bed of a pickup truck while playing in Surprise, Ariz., according to reports by ABC-15 News.

The popular "Where I've Been" Facebook interactive map application is now available to MySpace users.
The "Where I've Been" app appears as a world map on a user's Facebook (and now MySpace) profile page. Users highlight the countries he or she has been to, lived in, or wants to go by clicking on them and changing the colour and can then share the maps with friends.
It hit the headlines recently as it was bought by TripAdvisor for a staggering $3 million - the biggest deal ever for a Facebook widget.
Only launched in June 2007, so far the more than 2.6 million Facebookers have added the widget to their profile page and now MySpace's 70 million will be have the option to do the same.
Chief strategic officer Brian Harniman said, "We're encouraged by the fast adoption of our application as it serves a need for community building and travel exploration and is attractive to partners who are targeting the wide universe of travel customers".

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
(I know, its really great that AppleScript now has more descriptive error messagesit is, seriously, if you happen to use AppleScript. But thats not really the sort of thing thats going to produces millions of sales or get the geek juices flowing in the worlds propellerhead population.)
So of those hundreds of new things, what are the real stand-outs? In my highly biased opinion, the following 20 features are the ones most likely to make my own computing life easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable:
#1: Time Machine You could quibble (as indeed I have) about the limitations and deficiencies in Apples new built-in backup program. But anything that gets more people to back up is a very good thing in my book.
For starters: the interface for restoring files is a work of genius: absolutely beautiful. Makes me want to go around recklessly deleting random files just for the pleasure of restoring them. And for people who have struggled with configuring conventional backup apps, you cant get much simpler than one-click setup. Yes, sure, theres fiddling to be done beyond that, and everyoneeveryoneshould also have bootable duplicates, which Time Machine doesnt provide. But by erasing pain that comes from both human and machine error, Time Machine makes a tremendous stride in reducing stress and increasing happiness.
#2: Spaces Im a complete screen real estate junkie. Ive always gone for the largest displays I can affordand the more, the better. I always seem to have a dozen large windows open, and no amount of careful positioning, minimizing, or hiding has ever been able to make sense of that clutter for me, not even with Exposé.
But now, Spaces gives me the cleanest, most efficient multiple-desktop system Ive ever triedand Ive tried quite a few. Its almost like having three extra monitorsor as many more as I need. With a keystroke or a click, I can go from, say, email and chat to Web browsingor from a few Terminal sessions to a nice big spreadsheet.
#3: Screen Sharing Screen sharing is nothing new. Ive used Timbuktu Pro since way back when, and occasionally VNC in any of its many incarnations. But as with most things, when Apple decides to build a new feature directly into Mac OS X, they do it with a degree of elegance and simplicity that is hard to find anywhere else.
If I want to control the screen of another Mac in my home or office, I can do so with just one click. Its only slightly harder to control a Mac running Tiger, or a computer of any sort running VNC. And, for the easiest remote tech support yet, I can (with permission) control the Mac of a friend or family member right in iChat.
#4: Spotlight Improvements
|Apple Mac Columns
Apple Arrogance Unleashed!
Review: the iPod Touch
Leopard is Good (but it ain't no threat to Microsoft)
Top 10 Mac Productivity Enhancements
As Matt Neuburg aptly put it, Spotlight in Leopard is what Spotlight in Tiger should have been but wasnt. Which is to say: Time Machine in Leopard is, surprisingly, very, very good. Most importantly, its not annoying. That by itself is an immense improvement.
But its gone far beyond that to genuine usefulness. Put a search in quotation marks to look for a whole phrase! Use all the Boolean goodness of AND, OR, and NOT to your hearts content! Search the full text of Web pages youve visited! Search the built-in Dictionary from the Spotlight menu! Even search on mounted network volumes! Yeah, OK, you could do most of this months ago using third-party tools such as Google Desktop. But its awfully nice to see Spotlight finally live up to its initial billing and become a tool Im happy to use many times a day.
#5: Improved File Sharing Finally, after all these years, Users and Groups makes the transition to the client version of Mac OS X! You can now actually assign arbitrary access to any given folder, just like you could, um, a decade or so ago.
Thats marvelous, but what I really like is being able to connect to shared volumes on nearby computers with zero clicks. They just show up there in the sidebar of Finder windows, and log me in automatically either as a guest (the default) or a registered user (if I enter my credentials just once and store them in my keychain). It took some getting used to, simply because it was far easier than I was accustomed to. Its just there. Cool.

Press Release
District 12 - First Round of SB 1-Funded Grants Awarded
Date: December 8, 2017
District: District 12
Contact: Lindsey Hart
Phone: (949) 279-8931
Contact: Tamie McGowen
Phone: (916) 657-5060
SANTA ANA — Caltrans announced today that the first planning grants funded through the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 have been awarded to local agencies to support their efforts to plan more sustainable communities, reduce transportation-related greenhouse gases and adapt for the effects of climate change. During this week's California Transportation Commission (CTC) meeting, nearly $32 million in grants were awarded. In total, SB 1 will provide more than $270 million in planning grants for local communities over the next decade.
"These grants will provide much needed funding to support the efforts to improve transportation in local communities and plan for a future impacted by climate change. In addition to the many projects already accelerated thanks to SB 1, this is just one more example of how we're committed to rebuilding California."
Among the grants awarded were nearly $25 million in Sustainable Community Grants to 43 local and regional multimodal transportation and land use planning projects. These planning grants will provide funding to support regional sustainable community strategies and ultimately achieve the state's greenhouse gas reductions targets of 40 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 2050 respectively. SB 1 provides $25 million annually to this grant program which is awarded both competitively and by formula to eligible projects.
Among projects awarded funding are:
District 12 Sustainable Community Grants December 2017
Town of Mariposa Transportation Center Feasibility Study – Phase II
The Town of Mariposa Transportation Center Phase II study will comprehensively plan integrated multi-modal elements including a rural-scale, multi-modal transit center, wayfinding system, active transportation facilities, parking improvements, ADA, safety and related elements. The plan will establish the Town of Mariposa as a sub-regional Transportation Center.
Valley Springs Complete Streets Capital Infrastructure Plan & Project Prioritization
The Plan provides the community level planning needed to develop conceptual complete streets transportation improvements that build upon operational investments on State Route 26 (SR-26) and the SR-12/26 intersection, incorporates community aesthetic, and provides safe travel options for residents and students to schools and community centers. The project is a collaborative partnership of the School, Caltrans, CHP, Calaveras Council of Governments, Calaveras County, and community.
Angels Camp Main Street/SR-49 Complete Streets & Copello Road Pedestrian Connector
The Project provides the community level planning framework needed to identify complete streets improvements on the North Main Street/SR-49 corridor and Copello Road in Angels Camp. The project study area will be from Copello Road/SR-49 to the SR-49/SR-4 intersection. The project will identify and address critical gaps in multimodal connectivity between existing and planned facilities along SR-49 and SR-4 and provide multimodal access to low-income communities in northern Angels Camp.
Pope Street Class 1 Facility & Safe Routes Gap Fill Plan
The project includes development of an infrastructure plan for a bicycle and pedestrian facility along Pope Street and Lewis Avenue in San Andreas, completion of a Class I facility connecting to the County Government Center campus, as well as improvements needed for a safe connection to the San Andreas Elementary School from SR-49.
Additionally, $7 million in Adaptation Planning Grants were awarded to 21 projects throughout California. These grants will help local and regional agencies conduct adaptation planning in a way to ensure transportation assets are resilient in the face of climate change and extreme weather events. SB 1 will provide a total of $20 million over three years for this grant program.
A complete list of the 43 Sustainable Community grant projects can be found at: http://www.catc.ca.gov/meetings/2017/2017-12/yellows/Tab_22_4.11_Attachment.pdf
A complete list of the projects receiving Adaptation Planning Grants can be found at: http://www.catc.ca.gov/meetings/2017/2017-12/yellows/Tab_22_4.11_Attachment2.pdf
Caltrans received 127 applications seeking more than $34 million in grant funds for the Sustainable Communities competitive grant program and 30 applications seeking $10.5 million in grants funds for the Adaptation Planning grant program.

|Jump...I learned from Mercer how to do this better...
|Serious Team Picture!
|Silly ladies...So fun!
Ok, Ok...back to the race...like I said I would write about... For some reason, my mind and body where not looking forward to running this race. Not sure if it's because I had an unexpected week off from running or because my lower back was really hurting? Who knows, but I wasn't feeling good about it. Coming off a PR can be hard too because you're not sure if you can get there again and/or beat it. I was however looking forward to running the race with a bunch of friends who would be there! That was exciting to me, plus the fact that it was a local race 20 minutes from my house...SWEET! Jamie and I had planned to run this half together, after her 17 miler she started having some leg issues and was taking some time off. Kim graciously invited me to join her and Kim for a sub-2 which I thought I would shoot for, but after the mental aspect and back pain...I just didn't know what I was going to do. Last minute Jamie decided to run...yippee. I was happy to have my friend and running buddy to run with. We decided to take it easy since she was still with her leg issues, but really wanted to run. Jamie picked me up Sunday morning and we headed over to T-town (Tacoma) to meet up with the rest of the ladies. Parking was very easy and Diana (our awesome TEAM CAPTAIN) had picked out a perfect meeting place (Tully's) which had a nice bathroom so we didn't have to wait for honey buckets, SCORE! We met up with the rest of the "Will Run for Ice Cream" team and chatted and took pictures. It was so much fun having such a huge group doing this race. Go TEAM! We headed to the start line and Jamie and I took our positions in the middle of the 9 & 10 minute pace groups. I had no expectation. We chatted with our friends and then we were off. I felt tired pretty quickly...yah I didn't think it was just mental...my body wasn't in the mood. We made our first turn-around and got to see everyone in the out and backs...that was fun. Jamie hated the fact that her leg was holding her back...even though she was still kicking butt, she hated people passing her! We totally made up for that in the major hill that took us to Wrights Park...THANK YOU HILLY, neighborhood training. This park is not the safest and it will probably be the only time I ever run around it...but it was nice. It was a trail and was muddy, but was a nice change from the road. The downhill wasn't nice on Jamie's knee so we tried to take those easy. I was still tired, but just kept going. I wasn't looking at the watch much by that point. We had started out faster than we had wanted but were starting to even out now. Around mile 6 we turned on the iPods and I took a honey stick and zoned out. I totally had to go pee, which hasn't ever happened to me in a race. I stopped at mile 8 or 9 and went quickly...good thing I did. I ran out and saw Jamie up ahead and raced to catch up. Even though so many of us listen to our iPods during races...it's so nice having someone beside you to run with. It helps me so much...left to myself it would be so easy to stop and walk or not push it as much. We did the turn around to head back and I was so happy to be headed to the finish. I thought we were passed mile 10 and almost to 11 when I looked down and saw we weren't even to mile 10 yet...that wasn't so fun. I needed something to drink and got some Gu Brew at the last water stop and that didn't sit well in the stomach (hate having stomach issues), but it had tasted so good I could have gulped a few cups...good thing I didn't! Mile 12 seriously seemed to TAKE forever. I knew we were almost done...but my body wanted to be done! Those are the times you have to start playing tricks in your head to keep going. I saw the finish line and I sped up...ran up the last little hill passing a few people and took the SHARP turn to the finish and SPRINTED to my 5th Half Marathon finish....so glad to be done and to have my 2nd best TIME. For not expecting much and not feeling great about the race...I was thrilled with my time!

I just finished reading the Burroughs letters 1945-1959. I thoroughly enjoyed them and they give a great insight into his frame of mind in these years and his ideas of developement of Naked Lunch. Ive never been a big fan of Kerouac or Ginsberg but was wondering if there are similar letters books by these 2 that would have a sizeable output of letters to Burroughs.
Are there any books like this?
It would be interesting to see the letters that Ginsberg wrote to Burroughs 1945-1959, to kind of match them up for a bit more understanding.
Did bill keep all the letters he received?
I know ginsberg was quite, ahem "anal" in this department.
Online i found this report on Burroughs written by Kerouac in Tanger to Lucien Carr in early 1957.
Its always good to hear what the old bugger was up to:
Dear Lucien & Cessa —
Writing to you by candlelight from the mysterious Casbah — have a magnificent room overlooking the beach & the bay & the sea & can see Gibraltar — patio to sun on, room maid, $20 a month — feel great but Burroughs has gone insane he has, — he keeps saying he's going to erupt into some unspeakable atrocity such as waving his dingdong at an Embassy part & such or slaughtering an Arab boy to see what his beautiful insides look like — Naturally I feel lonesome with this old familiar lunatic but lonesomer than ever with him as he'll also mumble, or splurt, most of his conversation, in some kind of endless new British lord imitation, it all keeps pouring out of him in an absolutely brilliant horde of words & in fact his new book is best thing of its kind in the world (Genet, Celine, Miller, etc.) & we might call it WORD HOARD...he, Burroughs, (not "Lee" any more) unleashes his word hoard, or horde, on the world which has been awaiting the Only Prophet, Burroughs — His message is all scatalogical homosexual super-violent madness, — his manuscript is all that has been saved from the original vast number of written pages of WORD HOARD which he'd left in all the boy's privies of the world — and so on, — I sit with him in elegant French restaurant & he spits out his bones like Mr. Hyde and keeps yelling obscene words to be heard by the continental clienteles — (like he done in Rome, yelling FART at a big palazzio party) — I'll be glad when Allen gets here. — Meanwhile I explores the Casbah, high on opium or hasheesh or any drink or drug I want, & dig the Arabs. — The Slovenija was a delightful ship, I ate every day at one long white tablecloth with that one Yugoslavian woman spy. — We hit a horrendous tempest 2 days out, nothing like I ever seen, — that big steel ship was lost in mountains of hissing water, awful. — I cuddled up with TWO TICKETS TO TANGIER and got my laughs, I read every word, Cess, really a riot. — Also read Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling which you should read, it's down on your corner. — Right now I'm high on 3 Sympatinas, Spanish bennies of a sort, mild. — Happy pills galore. — The gal situation here is worse than the boy situation, nothing but male whores all over, & their supplementary queens. — Met an actual contraband sailing ship adventurer with a mustache. Etc. More anon.
Miss you & hope you're well.

Re: Burroughs has gone insane
i went and got a copy of that Two Tickets To Tangier .... a 'riot' if you like 'airport paperbacks' .. what did they call that genre back then? At least Jack had other stuff to read on that long haul across the pond. What grabs me about the letter is the Slovenija ... now that's a little research project .. ticket prices, passenger lists, on-board menus, accomodation standards, itineraries ..... what were these boats that took passengers that were not tramp steamers, banana boats or cruise liners..? full of spies going home and beats on their hols...

Re: Burroughs has gone insane
Thanks (belatedly), Graham , for this link. It looks like there should be a photo but nothing came up. Here is a brochure I came across for another ship in the same line. On another site I discovered that the Slovenija was forced into Oran harbour by the French navy the year after Kerouac was a passenger because it was carrying weapons for the FLN. Kerouac was right in saying the boat was " a little seedy".

text: Every culture and society has had to deal with illness and thus has well-developed concepts about the healing process, healers, medical knowledge, and healing practices. Offers a cross-cultural exploration of healers and healing approaches. Examines differences and similarities in the ways that people approach illness and healing by relying heavily on an abundance of examples from various cultures, including that of the United States. Examines illness causation and classification theories, diagnostic practices, therapeutic procedures, preventive care, the assumptions that underlie these concepts and practices, and their relationship to the social, cultural, and technological environments in which they are constructed. Focuses on the role of the healer in the context of culture and examines physicians, shamans, witch doctors, curandero/as, midwives, wise men and women, and other healers. Explores the use of music, botanicals, healing aids, and pharmaceuticals in the healing process. Informed self-reflection and critical analysis of one's own world view assumptions and medical belief system are fundamental objectives of the course.

FORT LAUDERDALE -- There`s nothing like the great indoors.
First, it was indoor soccer. Americans embraced the game, saying it was a faster, more exciting version of the world`s most popular sport. The rest of the world shuddered.
Now, right here in Fort Lauderdale, next to the spring training home of the country`s most traditional baseball team -- the New York Yankees -- a new sporting revolution may be taking root.
Last weekend, Grand Slam USA held the first state indoor softball tournament. The tournament featured 12 teams from Broward, Dade and Palm Beach counties. Most were veterans of the six-month old sport.
``We`ve had incredible response so far,`` said Grand Slam sales manager Keith Dougan, who has helped organize six indoor softball tournaments at Grand Slam. The indoor softball and baseball hitting range and academy now has 27 teams playing in three leagues three nights a week. The leagues share time on the artificial surface with Grand Slam`s indoor soccer league.
Eldred Construction, coached by Rick Kenyon and featuring some of the county`s top home run hitters, won the state tournament Sunday with a 7-4 victory against Gary Fronrath. Grand Slam`s team finished third.
Indoor softball is played with only six players: a pitcher, catcher and four infielders. The outfielders are replaced by a net directly above the playing surface and a net where the outfielders would be normally.
Any hits into the net in the ceiling are outs. Any hits into the net along the walls in fair territory are good. Balls down the line and into deep centerfield are home runs. Anything in between is either a double or a triple, as long as it is seven feet above the ground. If it isn`t, the ball is in play.

Posted on 25 May 2010
Vertafore, a leading provider of software and information to the insurance industry, at the ACORD/LOMA Conference in Las Vegas announced that its agent-carrier connectivity products, TransactNOW, PL Rating and Sircon, have facilitated more than 10.8 million real-time transactions so far in 2010 -- a 56-percent increase over the same period of time in 2009. Vertafore's connectivity solutions enable its agency customers to connect with carriers and MGAs in real time, which has resulted in approximately 700,000 hours of time saved, and $20 million in costs saved, to date in 2010.
"As an independent agent, I represent 25 personal lines carriers. In order to provide the best possible service to my customers, we include anywhere from 10 to 15 carriers per quote," said Mike Foy of Foy Insurance Group, Inc. "By using Vertafore's rating and connectivity solutions, I'm able to save the equivalent of five full-time employees over the time it would have taken us to do the same number of carrier quotes directly on their websites."
In support of the industry's real-time initiative and campaign, Vertafore's connectivity solutions help carriers and MGAs with a major challenge: efficiently integrating with hundreds of thousands of desktops that use agency management and comparative quoting solutions available from Vertafore and other vendors. TransactNOW supports a multitude of transactions, including billing inquiry, claims inquiry, policy view inquiry and endorsement and quote requests for both personal and commercial lines. PL Rating is a comprehensive and easy-to-use multi-carrier, real-time comparative rating application that dramatically reduces hours spent navigating and rekeying redundant data on carrier websites, empowering producers and CSRs to do what they do best—sell insurance. Sircon streamlines complex agent licensing, appointing and other compliance-related transactions through an intuitive online service that links carriers, agencies, producers, CE providers and state regulators.
"Real-time connectivity is all about productivity and time savings for agents. Carriers participating in this industry revolution are providing their sales channel with an easier way of accessing their products directly through the systems agents use every day to write new business and service clients," said Dave Acker, vice president of connectivity at Vertafore. "We're seeing this tremendous growth in all of our products because of greater agency adoption and support of the industry's effort to drive efficiencies into the independent insurance channel. Carrier adoption of ACORD XML industry standards for web services allows Vertafore to drive new, more accurate carrier functionality to market faster, which contributes to accelerated growth."

We work wonders
Infineon's International Graduate Program (IGP)
Do you have the potential to be a superhero? Here is your chance to prove your powers: Work wonders as a member of the IGP at Infineon.
You will work wonders with our products which themselves have super powers. They help people pay contactlessly and securely for their tickets in the London underground and allow activity trackers to precisely measure your heartbeat. They make your car drive on its own and make it possible to send your friends photos of the last concert in 3D. You think that is not enough? We feel the same! At Infineon every product works wonders in everyday life – and so do you.
Joining the IGP will get you the full insight: during the course of 18 months you will have at least three different assignments – one of them abroad. You can start the program in different locations. How about Munich, Singapore or Los Angeles? You can join us as an electrical engineer in product marketing, as a psychologist in Human Resources or as a graduate in computer science in our corporate supply chain and much more. After completing the program you will start your target position with a permanent contract. To find open positions take a look at our job search.
The IGP at a glance
Your Application & Entry
You make the impossible possible. You don't wait for the silver platter. You love change (which is guaranteed in the semiconductor industry). You are pragmatic and analytic (we need both at Infineon). Standing still is not your thing and you find inspiration in working on the big picture with your colleagues. You are fresh out of university but already gained some hands-on experience through internships.
If this is you, we make it easy for you: Your application takes just 90 seconds. All we need is your CV and your relevant certificates, such as your final university degree or last university transcript. In case you want to tell us even more about your superpowers, we are also happy to receive a cover letter. Convince us with your personality, special skills or experiences (a semester abroad? Volunteering? An internship at NASA?) and your excitement for technology and our products – with your application as well as at our application day. Take a look at our infographic to find tips and tricks for a convincing CV.
On your first day you will meet your manager and your buddy, who will introduce you to the site and everybody you need to know. The global IGP HR manager will be by your side for the whole duration of the program, to offer support and advice.
After each assignment there will be a feedback session with your manager. For us that is not enough: No later than after your third assignment, a mentor will support you with developing a plan for your superhero career in the long run.
The IGP in detail
The IGP (superhero)-community is the core element of our program: we want you to learn from each other and build a long-lasting network. You will meet other trainees on a regular basis, at global, regional or virtual conferences and in IGP jour fixes.
An international stay is a fixed component of the program. You will spend at least three months in Asia, Europe or the U.S., depending on the program and the need of your department.
Feedback always works two ways. We'd like to hear how happy you are with us and the program. In return you will regularly receive feedback on your work after each assignment.
We want to help you, to grow to your full potential. No matter if you work in technical marketing, finance or in R&D, you will attend different trainings. How about a project management training, an advanced excel class, or a course for GaN- technology? In addition you will do trainings for intercultural communication or teambuilding exercises at conferences.
At the start of each assignment a buddy will guide your way and share his/her knowledge to guarantee a great start.
No later than after your third assignment, one of our top managers will act as a mentor to help with your long- term career plan - even after the program is finished.
There is a lot to explore at Infineon: During your time as a trainee you will visit different sites and of course our clean rooms, where our chips are produced. These are truly extraordinary: Not everybody has this! You can experience all of this at the global IGP conferences- which alone is a reason to attend.
Especially in your daily tasks, projects and to- dos you can show off your superpowers. As a superhero you know that, the raisins in your muesli are yummy and tasty but you have to eat the oats to have energy for the day.
With an international team you can use your superpower to reach perfection in challenging projects with issues form different divisions, no matter if it will be one project for the whole journey or different projects will come your way.

Written by The Dishmaster, Posted in General
I've followed 'Girls' since it's debut, and the excessive nudity has almost pushed me to flee the show. I never questioned Samantha Jones' nudity, because it made sense for the character. Kim Cattrall's promiscuous Sex and the City character broke down barriers for women. It put our gender on par with men, who are socially allowed to sexually misbehave, while women are not. Her nudity was also appropriately played into each scene, and the artistic blend kept me immersed in the story. Unlike 'Sex and the City,' it's as if Lena Dunham is proving a point at the expense of the scene. Sure it's possible that she adequately represents "real life," but if I wanted my television to be that real, I'd watch a documentary. There's a delicate dance between art and reality, but the former is just fine with me.

BY5.6 Cloning
- Created by: Hayley
- Created on: 10-05-13 19:06
A clone is a group of genetically identical organisms formed from a single parent as a result of asexual reproduction or by artificial means. Cloning in nature is common, e.g. division of bacteria.
Cloning of Animals
Animals are cloned using a number of different methods.
Embryo Cloning
Consider a cow being used for its high milk yield. Eggs are collected from the cow, and fertilised in vitro (in a petri dish) using sperm collected from bulls from parentage with high milk production. A blastocyst forms which is broken up into individual embryos. These are implanted into surrogates. Many identical offspring are produced-the offspring are clones of one another.
Nuclear Transfer
Using nuclear transfer, genetic copies of an individual can be made.
In this method, somatic cells are taken from the donor (the organism to be cloned) and cultured in a solution which stops cell division (so that the cells have the right number of chromosomes etc). An unfertilised ovum from the recipient is enucleated, so there is a nucleus-free egg cell. The cells are mixed and a gentle electric pulse is applied, causing them to fuse. The resulting zygote is allowed to form a blastocyst/embryo. The embryo is genetically identical to the donor. This embryo is implanted into a surrogate, possibly the recipient, and is born after the gestation period.
Advantages and Disadvantages
- Cell culture can produce many identical cells, e.g. cancer cells, for research.
- A long indentical genetic line means that favourable characteristics remain in genetic stocks.
- In mammals this technique doesn't always work and is very expensive.
- The donor may have genetic disadvantages, eg recessive alleles for diseases
- Offspring produced by this method may suffer premature aging or other negatove side effects.
Tissue Culture
Tissue culture is used to make cells, such as cancer and stem cells, to divide in vitro, in the lab. They are genetically identical to the organism from which they are taken.
Once differentiated, many cells such as nerve cells won't divide. That's why stem cells are used for this type of culture, because they are undifferentiated.
During tissue culture, growth conditions are carefully and meticulously controlled. Ionic balance and water potential must be controlled. These conditions can be used to cause cells to differentiate--this is tissue engineering, for example: tissues grown on a special synthetic framework under the right conditions can be used to make a layer of skin, used for an appligraf. Tissue engineering can also be used to repair blood vessels and cartilage as well as treat degenerative nerve diseases. These tissues won't be rejected when applied as they are genetically identical to the donor. It is hoped that…

Plextor M6 and M6e Series of SSD Solutions Announced
Plextor has announced the M6 and M6e series lineup of solid-state drives, featuring their next-generation 2.5" M6S and M6M mSATA SSDs. Also introduced by Plextor is two new PCI-e drives: the M6e PCI-e SSD specifically designed for gaming, the ultra-fast M6e M.2 PCI-e and the new half height, half length (HHHL) PCI-e card.
In addition to the new M.2 form factor, the M6 also features the latest generation of advanced 19nm Toggle NAND flash from Toshiba with "Adaptive Write." This is Plextor's next-generation proprietary firmware technology, which is designed to maintain SSD performance under heavy workloads throughout the life warranty of the drive. As a result, this allows for increased storage density with capacities up to 512GB.
The M6e M.2 PCI-e and HHHL PCI-e Card solution is optimized for serious users who are in need of the fastest speeds available on today's market. The M6e is equipped with the latest generation Marvell 88SS9183 flash controller with multiple cores for efficient performance during intense usage. Additionally, the M6e's PCI express interface delivers maximum sequential read and write speeds of up to 770MB/s and 625MB/s respectively as well as random speeds of up to 105,000 read and 100,000 IOPS write. The M6e is also automatically recognized as an advanced host controller interface device, requiring no additional drivers. When it is used as a boot disk on a system with unified extensible firmware interface, startup times are cut in half. The M6e comes in capacities up to 512GB.
The entire M6e series is backed by a five-year warranty.
The M6S is a high-performance 2.5-inch SATA SSD hard drive, which features faster boot times, shorter application load times, and overall improved system performance. The M6S is available in capacities up to 512GB with sequential read/write speeds of up to 520MB/440MB per second and random read/write speeds up to 94,000 and 80,000 IOPS, respectively.
The M6M mSATA drive is designed for users looking to upgrade any device that requires a SSD with a small footprint. It features up to 512GB of storage and sequential read/write speeds up to 520MB/440MB per second as well as random read/write speeds up to 94,000 and 80,000 IOPS, respectively.
The M6 series will be available for purchase sometime in the spring of 2014. All Plextor products feature exclusive custom in-house design and development by Plextor hardware and firmware engineers.
Plextor's gaming M6e PCI-e is the first SSD specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of the gaming community. The M6e PCI-e SSD uses a new generation of high-bandwidth components to deliver smooth, uninterrupted gameplay, which is a much desired feature for serious and casual gamers alike. It combines the convenience of driver-free ACHI support with the compatibility of selectable legacy BIOS or fast UEFI boot.
Plextor gaming SSD delivers maximum sequential read and write speeds of 770MB/s and 625MB/s respectively as well as random read and write speeds of 105K and 100K IOPS. Its PCI-e Gen2x2 interface bypasses the SATAIII bottleneck, includes the latest server-grade multicore Marvell 88SS9183 controller with native PCI 2.0 support, and is equipped with a pre-graded high performance Toshiba Toggle NAND flash.
Developed by Plextor's in-house team, the M6e's exclusive firmware optimizes the drive for gaming applications and ensures stability. Additionally, Plextor's True Speed technology provides a new improved version for long-term performance stability and effective multi-tasking.
The M6e also comes with Advanced Host Controller Interface (ACHI) support, allowing users to experience the speed of a high-performance PCIe SSD without the need to load propriety drivers. Compatibility with legacy BIOSes gives M6e the ability to be used with existing gaming rigs, increasing its flexibility. In addition, alternatively selecting the UEFI boot mode for motherboards with UEFI allows for speedy start-up times.
Zero-Failure Zero-Error mass testing standard resulted in a MTBF calculated at 2.4 million hours. Every individual SSD also faced an extended high-temperature burn-in test and usage simulation.
The Plextor M6e PCIe SSD is now available in capacities of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB with a full five-year warranty and Plextor's extensive support structure.

"I still love Lara. My love was strong enough to survive all those times in Tomb Raider PSone where she walked off ledges and swam into walls and missed ropes, even though she wasn't. It was strong enough to survive Angel of Darkness and those awful films, and it's strong enough to survive Tomb Raider: Anniversary on the Wii. If you haven't played the PC, PS2 or Xbox 360 versions, do. They're brilliant. This isn't."
It's funny how some devs make the Wii ports way better while some others make them worse than terrible.
I'd heard some positive news about Wii TR:A but it seems they were wrong and TR:A's devs belong to second category that can't port games to Wii.

About.com users find drug ads more helpful in 2010, survey says
Online drug ads are significantly more helpful this year, particularly with respect to side effect and safety information, according to an About.com survey of its users.
The survey found that 58% of respondents value side effects and safety information contained in an ad, up from 28% in 2009. Additionally, 51% said ads with information about a specific condition or disease are helpful (up from 29% in 2009), and 47% of respondents said information about how to cope with a condition or disease is helpful, compared with 20% in 2009, according to the survey.
Elements of a drug ad found to be most helpful, according to the survey, were printable health tips (40%), free trial offers (38%), and testimonials about people experiencing similar symptoms (29%). In 2009, just 18% of respondents said ads with free trial offers were helpful, the survey noted.
Responding to a question about which tones or formats of online healthcare ads are the most attention-grabbing, participants ranked humorous ads at the top (45%), followed by "visually appealing ads with a lot of color and nice pictures" at 44%. Ads with polls, quizzes and games were less attention-grabbing (28%), as were ads with social elements, such as a Facebook share component (14%), the survey found.
"Health users are increasingly looking to relevant advertisements as decision-making tools, when those ad messages are properly connected to the consumer's need or goal," said Evan Minskoff, VP, marketing, at the About Group, in a statement on the survey.
Other findings include an increase in the total number of scripts filled in 2010. Eighty percent of survey respondents said they had filled a script in the last six months, compared with 61% in 2009. Prescriptions for asthma and allergies nearly doubled, and scripts filled in the last six months for chronic pain increased from 10% in 2009, to 16% in 2010, according to the survey.
Using a search engine to research a new diagnosis or medical condition increased from 47% last year to 65% in 2010, and 47% of respondents said they use a search engine to learn about different treatment options directly after a diagnosis, compared with 16% in 2009, the survey said.
Survey respondents were gathered through an invitational pop-up on About.com, and the survey was also sent to About.com's user panel. Sample size was 1,321 respondents in 2010, and 1,870 in 2009, according to the survey's methodology.

Ferris Wheel (Graph) Symmetries
Lesson 2 of 11
Objective: SWBAT determine which angles on the unit circle have the same sine ratio, the same cosine ratio, and the same tangent ratio (without using any of those terms!).
Big Idea: You are sitting on a Ferris wheel. Who is directly across from you? Below you? Diagonally across from you? Use a representation of the unit circle to make generalizations.
Resources (1)
The first decision that I will make today is whether or not to give students some more time to work on yesterday's investigation. If they seem motivated and eager to fully solve the problem, I will give them more time (I may even give some students more time and allow others to move on.) They don't need to include this problem in their portfolios. We will also be coming back to it later in the unit, so I leave this decision up in the air until class starts.
Once I have students moving on to today's new investigation, I begin by asking them the question following questions about riding on a Ferris wheel:
Assuming that all the cars on the Ferris wheel are occupied...
- Is there always somebody at your same height above the ground?
- Is there always somebody directly above or below you?
- Is there always somebody diagonally across from you?
The answers are no, no and yes. Why not?
When you are at the top or the bottom there is nobody across from you, and when you are at the sides, there is nobody above or below you.
After I distribute the Ferris wheel symmetry question resource, I give students time to think about the scenarios. I ask them to write justifications for their answers. I will ask students to share these whether they are right or wrong.
Once the class has developed some productive ideas to build on, I plan to give them the Symmetry Pairs task. Note that this is deliberately not heavily scaffolded, which will hopefully prompt students to start asking questions about how to talk about the points on the circle. If students are creative and make up their own way of referring to points, I will let them do the whole task that way. At some point, I will ask, "Do you want me to show you the official convention we use to talk about points on the circle?" I'll let them decide when they want to learn this convention. But, they will learn it before the end of the lesson.
As students work on the Symmetry Pairs task, the idea is that as they list pairs, they start to investigate the relationship between coordinates and hopefully make progress towards some generalizations. The Ferris Wheel Symmetries Problem Set will ask students to do the same kind of thinking in a more organized way. More heavily scaffolded, the problem set walks students through each problem quadrant by quadrant, leaving them with the question about the broader generalization (MP7, 8). It is not essential that they formulate an algebraic generalization—though that would be great. They may explain their generalizations quadrant-by-quadrant, which is fine. The point is just that they see the patterns visually, so that later they can use these observations to explain the symmetries in the graphs of the sine, cosine and tangent functions.
Students may or may not have time to finish the problem set in class. It is a portfolio piece, so they can work on it in future lessons.
Resources (3)
Today's closing questions ask students to describe any methods they developed to find the pairs of points with the same heights, slopes and horizontal distances. This can be a good time to introduce some new terms. "Height" is very intuitive for students, but it can also be called the "rise" or the "vertical distance from the origin". The "horizontal distance from the origin" can also be called the "run" or even the "base". The best terms are vertical and horizontal distance because these will make more sense in future units, though they are perhaps less intuitive.
After letting students write for a few minutes on their Exit Ticket, I plan to ask students to explain their methods for finding matching pairs. At the most basic level, a student may talk about folding the circle horizontally or vertically. They may draw lines on the circle to find matching points. All these visual methods are great, but I want to push them to a more algebraic or quantitative method dealing with the numerical angle measure. The highest level of understanding would be to provide algebraic formulas involving the angles. The more different ways students can answer each question on this warm-up, the better, and for each method a student shares, I will ask: "Does this method work? Does it always work?" As today's lesson winds down, it is a good time to talk about the angles that don't always have matches (0, 90, 180, and 270) and to talk about what is different about those angles.

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
I was a little (naturally) high after getting my first professional full-body hour-long massage during the xoJane/xoVain Spa Retreat we had Friday, and my mind was on beautifying and vanity. I was cruising the comments on Marianne's Glitter Nail Polish Lifestyle article and came across... The COTW!
shinyredthermos, did you know that you have left almost 2,000 comments on the xo-sites? And clearly, you know what would make for some great content. I would be so overjoyed if this video happened IRL. Can't you guys at least do a Google Hangout and put it YouTube? You totally can. Thanks.
The most upvoted comment from the past week is from Doc Holligay on "The More Weight I Lose, The More Fat Jokes I Hear." I LOVE it, Doc. Perfect, timeless advice.
Your trophy, Doc and red:
Should we start doing posts where we photograph what everyone in the office is wearing? Or perhaps a "who wore it best?" type of post? Is that lame? Let us know!

text: More than 500 volunteers responsible for registering voters in the city`s neighborhoods failed to meet the deadline for returning their materials, possibly imperiling the voting rights of any persons they signed up, election officials said Tuesday. About 2,300 deputy registrars were to return the election kits containing both signed and unused voter registration cards by 8 p.m. Monday. Several dozen turned in their packages Tuesday, and Thomas Leach, a spokesman for the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners, said 500 still had not returned their materials, including the names of any residents they had signed up. Election officials said they would seek an order from a Cook County Circuit Court judge to direct deputies to turn in their registration kits. A person could be deprived of his right to vote if he registered with a deputy who never turned in the materials, Leach said, but he added that there are procedures available election day to contest a registrar`s mistake.

How to roast a chicken
How to roast a chicken
Make sure the chicken is at room temperature by taking it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you start cooking.
Preheat the oven to 200˚C.
Season the chicken's cavity with salt and pepper and, if you wish, a few sprigs of thyme, a crushed garlic clove and half an unpeeled lemon.
If you have made a stuffing, fill the cavity loosely and close the opening with a short bamboo skewer.
Weigh the chicken after it is stuffed to work out the cooking time.
Roasting time for chicken is 25 minutes per 500g, plus 20 minutes.
Rub the skin generously with olive oil or softened butter and season with salt and pepper.
Put the chicken in a roasting dish, not much larger than the bird, breast side down. Pour in 1 cup of hot water or stock and roast for 35 minutes.
Take the roasting dish out of the oven, carefully turn the chicken onto its back, squeeze the juice of the other lemon half over the breast and roast for the remaining time.
Test by piercing the thickest part of the thigh with a fine skewer. If clear juice runs out the chicken is cooked.
Leave the cooked chicken in a warm place to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving it.
Always warm the dinner plates for a roast meal.

Andy RautinsHt/Wt: 6-4 / 195 lbs
Position: G
Team: Syracuse
Class: Senior
2010 Draft Profile - Andy RautinsSTRENGTHS: It has been a pretty successful run for Andy since he was never considered a top 200 prospect amongst high school scouts before committing to Syracuse following in his father's footsteps. Over the course of his four years at Syracuse I could see the growth of a slender kid that could shoot the lights out initially and how he has matured into one of the most mature and well rounded guards in the country. At 6'5" and 190 pounds Andy has become very adept at playing point guard as well as the two spot dependent upon the game needs of the Orange versus their opponent. Although Wes Johnson may be the best player on the Syracuse Orange; its undoubtedly Andy Rautins leadership that has placed the Orange in a position to garner a #1 seed in the upcoming NCAA March Madness Tournament. Whatever Syracuse may need he unselfishly delivers. Andy numbers may seem to be inconsequential averaging 10 pts and 5 assists per game but his overall steady play has guided the Orange to a top five ranking in the nation. He can stroke it from 25-30 feet, almost 77% shooter from the stripe and passes the rock extremely well in the half court and in transition. Andy clearly understands that Syracuse's strength is inside outside out and feeds the post as well if not better than any guard in college. Andy also has deceptive quickness and is unafraid to mix it up defensively with the best guards in and out of conference play over the last two years as a starter for the Cuse.
WEAKNESSES: Needs to work on creating his own shot which he will have to do at the next level if he is to have some success. Andy could also use some upper body bulk if he's designated to play at the two spot in the Association. May also focus on his endurance and foot work necessary to compete defensively against bigger and faster two guards in the NBA.
NBA OUTLOOK: I see Andy as a successful point guard in the NBA akin to Steve Blake in Portland. Obviously he'll be a bench and role player initially to wet his feet but he can get out and finish in transition while opponents would have to respect his jumper and passing ability in a half court offense. Some NBA Scouts have Andy projected as a mid to late second round choice. Look for Andy to get an opportunity and stick on someone's NBA squad-Knicks are you listening?

Fidel Castro was able to create a society where all Cubans had access to healthcare, access to education, said Professor Joseph S. Tulchin; former director of the Latin American Program, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
Cuba is mourning the death of former President Fidel Castro who died at the age of 90 on Friday. His brother Raul announced his death on Cuban state television.
The revolutionary leader was revered on the island nation, where he was called the country's founding father, and the man who freed Havana from the grip of the United States.
Left-wing politicians have paid tribute to the longtime Cuban leader describing him as an iconic figure.
Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the British Labour Party, expressed his condolences, saying that "for all his flaws he will be remembered across the globe." Not long after making the statement Corbyn was mocked, with some comparing the former Cuban leader to Darth Vader, Osama bin Laden, and even Hitler.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing a backlash after expressing "deep sorrow" and condolences over the death of a man he described as a "remarkable leader."
Trudeau faces backlash after Castro tribute https://t.co/T6aw9289w0 pic.twitter.com/Grxh4MQd9B— CBC News (@CBCNews) November 27, 2016
RT: Many famous political figures compared the former Cuban leader Fidel Castro to Darth Vader, Osama bin Laden, and even Hitler. Do you think it was appropriate?
Joseph Tulchin: Well, certainly in South Florida he does, on the famous 8th street, known as Calle Ocho, where the Cuban-American community which is anti-Castro is concentrated. It seems to me that that is a great exaggeration. Cuba is a dictatorship, and Fidel Castro was a dictator. There is no question about that. He treated his hostile enemies at the beginning of the revolution in a way that we can compare to the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Mexican Revolution; it was a great deal of bloodshed in the first few years following Castro's triumph. Don't forget that just two years after Castro entered Havana in power; the US backed an invasion force by hostile anti-Castro Cubans in what was called 'The Bay of Pigs.' The point is that the Cuban administration under Castro was under attack from its very beginning until the very end of the Cold War.
The US embargo made the economy very difficult to organize, and the Cubans turned to the Soviets in the 1960s and 1970s for their economic support. During that time, the 60s, 70s and 80s the Cuban regime was a dictatorship, there was no press freedom, dissidents were not encouraged and disallowed, people were expelled, some people left the island, people continued to leave the island today looking for better life elsewhere. But to compare Castro to Stalin or Hitler or even to Darth Vader seems to me to be a great exaggeration. The point to emphasize that unlike all of those people - including Darth Vader - Fidel was able to create a society in which all the Cubans had access to healthcare, access to education.
Cuba never became a kleptocracy in which corruption was rampant, and members of the regime became personally wealthy. There is no kleptocracy today; the level of corruption is remarkably low... And most important for the US, Cuba is not a drug center, unlike other island states in the Caribbean - Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Haiti. The drug traffic from Cuba is non-existent. And the Cuban coast guard or navy, as it is called, cooperates on a daily basis with the US Coast Guard. So Cuba in the Pentagon is considered an ally in the fight against illegal drugs.
Disgraceful. Why do young socialists idolize totalitarian tyrants? Castro, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot -- all evil, torturing murderers. #truth https://t.co/mYJonVK7JB— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) November 26, 2016
RT: What legacy, do you think, such an iconic figure will have for the world?
JT: You can accept the fact that he was a cruel dictator but again compared to Hitler or Stalin or other brutal dictators he was not nearly so terrible. The Cuban population through the entire 50 years of the revolution, with significant exceptions, lived a calm and quiet life. They also enjoyed remarkable access to social goods and benefits of that revolution. What these people are ignoring is that whether he was a dictator or not is not a question. He was a dictator; that is not in dispute. But If we focus on that, we lose sight of what the Cuban revolution represents. The legacy in Latin America is and will remain that it is possible to defy US hegemony. And what that lesson means for all of the countries in Latin America is that they can achieve autonomy or agency, as I prefer to call it, despite the pressures from a dominant power – the United States. And Castro's legacy will focus on that throughout the hemisphere. Being a dictator is not Castro's only legacy.
RT: There were mass celebrations in Miami's Cuban neighborhoods after the announcement of Fidel Castro's death. What do you think about such celebrations?
JT: For Cubans who hate Castro, particularly people of the first generation to flee Cuba because they were against the revolution, they are pleased and happy that he has died. They think his death will mean a great transition and perhaps their return to their native land. I think that hope is unrealistic. And that they enjoy someone else's death is something that I cannot share with them. I am not pleased that Castro was a dictator; I opposed his censorship; I opposed his closing of academic conversation and debate. But again, I recognize that, unlike my country, he provided healthcare and education. He provided food for everybody, though the level of economic support was very low. Cuba is a poor country.
Is this a real statement or a parody? Because if this is a real statement from the PM of Canada it is shameful & embarrassing. https://t.co/lFXeqU7Ws0— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) November 26, 2016

AKRON, Ohio – J.C. Linares hit a two-run double in the top of the eighth as the Portland Sea Dogs attempted a late rally, but the effort fell one run short as the Akron Aeros prevailed 4-3 at Canal Park.
The Aeros (31-31) lead the three-game series 2-0 and have now won their last five games, while the Sea Dogs (31-28) continue to wallow, having dropped five of their last six contests.
Akron was on the attack early, putting runners in scoring position with a double steal in the bottom of the first. Base stealers Jose Ramirez and Ronny Rodriguez then scored on a two-out single to centerfield by Carlos Moncrief.
The Aeros added to their lead with two more runs in the bottom of the third on a double by Jesus Aguilar, his 10th of the season.
Portland's Shannon Wilkerson led off the game with a hit to center, but after that the Sea Dogs bats were quiet until the seventh inning. Michael Almanzar doubled to lead off the seventh and ended up scoring Portland's first run on a sacrifice fly by Kolbrin Vitek.
Linares doubled with two out in the eighth to score Xander Bogaerts, who had singled, and Almanzar, who had walked. Akron sent reliever Jose Flores to the mound in response, and he got Tony Thomas to ground out to end the inning.
Flores struck out the side in the ninth to end the game and pick up his sixth save of the season.
Portland starter Matt Barnes (3-3) was saddled with the loss. He allowed five hits and four earned runs in four innings pitched while striking out eight. Akron starter Jordan Cooper (2-2) claimed the win, lasting six innings with one hit, three walks and three strikeouts.
The teams take the field at 2:05 p.m. Sunday with Keith Couch (3-2, 4.78 ERA) taking the mound for Portland. Will Roberts (4-2, 3.92) is scheduled to start for Akron.
