New Rules for World Cup Cricket?
Cricket was the dame of gentleman
The cogitations are under process to work out a plan to ban the batsmen; fielders and even umpires who nod yes on clean bowled. The cricket is being revolutionized by the modern ICC being monopolized by India. The committee is considering new fool proof rules and regulations and code of conduct, especially for Pakistani players and umpires and generally for all those teams, players and umpires who break their hearts and injure their feelings.
Cricket was the game of gentleman and now it is the game of politics. Gone are the days when cricket was a game. It was evaluated impartially. The rules of the game were almost just and equal for all. The ICC was in the hands of such people as love cricket. They were politically disinterested. The taboos were not allowed to interfere in the gaming process and allocation of tours and visits. There was an order and it was followed. There had been some skirmishes but these were between players only. The passions which were over controlled on defeat or victory were to be seen in the grounds. Ian Bothom was seen often engaging with the batsmen as a psychological warfare. West Indians were there to invent new gestures and body language.
Icc and Indian Cricket
Alas the days are no more and cricket is defunct from the grounds. It is now played in the offices of ICC and all boards. He would be the wisest politician who would be able to understand the shrewdness of ICC. The world politics are being played since the days when Indians are there in the ICC. They are coward yet crook. They conceal their shortcomings and deficiencies by inducing the ICC to ban such and such players. Pakistani players are their special butt. They are in search of the blames and accusations to put on the Pakistani players. The days are not far when you will hear that Pakistani star batsman would banned due to hiss suspicious batting action.
The statement would go like this' the batsman is asked to report to the ICC on the complaint of Indian Cricket board and clarify his batting action as he has scored many too many sixes and fours against India. The players is suspected as he could defeat India alone. And the worthy ICC which is a Pandora box of politics now a day would justify the accusations and would ban the player. It would be a new beginning. Afterwards the fielders would be banned for throwing ball too fast as it could injure the batsman. If India or ICC is allowed free hand they would feel no qualms of conscience to ban the umpires who lift their fingers upon the appeal of clean bowled by Pakistani bowler.
So far so good.

Watch how to make this recipe.
I brought a handful of Jerusalem Artichokes home from the market, washed and roasted them (skin and all) in the oven with a simple drizzle of olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. I cooked them all the way through as I would a baked potato. I tried roasting them a second time replacing the olive oil with hazelnut oil for even tastier results. Now, the vegetable risks to take over my produce life as I know it! I cut some into thin rounds, fried them and sprinkled them over an arugula salad. Delicious. I thought I had reached my peak with these preparations until I tasted this soup...The combination of roasting and stewing them yields a complex flavor.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Place 1/2 the Jerusalem artichokes on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the tray in the center of the oven and cook until they are completely yielding when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the rest of the Jerusalem artichokes in 1/2-inch thick slices. Heat a medium pot and add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the thyme and the Jerusalem artichokes slices and stir to blend the ingredients. Check the seasoning. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes and add 4 cups water.
Cook until the Jerusalem artichokes are completely tender, 25 to 30 minutes. If the liquid reduces too much during this cooking time, add the remaining 1 cup water. Remove the roasted ones from the oven, quarter them and add them directly to the soup mixture. Taste for seasoning.
Remove the thyme from the pot. Add the cream. Puree the soup in small batches in the blender (or a hand blender) until smooth. For a more "rustic" texture, puree only 1/2 and leaving the other 1/2 "chunky." Serve with crusty sourdough or a seeded bread to bring out the naturally nutty flavor of the soup.
Serving suggestion: Crusty sourdough bread or seeded bread.

Research Grants
Changing Animal Bodies: Breeding Responses to Changing Environmental Economic and Social Pressures (2015 – 2017)
Principle Investigator
This 5 Million SEK FORMAS funded project departs from the position that animalas are nota product of agriculture but rather operate as indicators of how farmers and farming are responding to changing environmental, economic and social pressures. The project uses three cases to examine 1) the changing economic circumstances of poultry production, 2) the contested politics of traditional breeds and 3) the environmental pressures faced by pollinating insects. By so doing it will offer insight into, the embodied realities of farm labour, how farmers and farming respond to contemporary challenges, and how we might build robust agricultural futures.
Becoming Human: Gender Theory and Animals in a More-than-Human Worlds (2012-2017)
Principle Investigator
This 6 million SEK Vetenskapsrådet Grant is a multidisciplinary project bringing together 3 scholars from Geography, Philosophy and Literature. Beginning from a position that suggests we shape our humanity not in spite of animals but rather through encounters with the more-than-human world, the project investigates the theoretical, ethical and practical questions that arise in the meeting of Gender Theory and Animal Studies.

Burn DVD-movie disks with DVD Styler
This one is for Sheila and Bill. They want to put their videos onto DVD disks so that they will play back in a DVD player to the TV.
The problem is that the videos on the computers are in a different format to the ones played in DVD players. This article explains how to burn videos onto a DVD disk using a free program called 'DVD Styler'.
A) Start the program
Double-click on the DVD Styler icon on your laptop 'Desktop' (icon can be seen in the top image). The program will start up and initially show 2 windows, one is the program window and the one on top is a pop-up window showing the 'settings'.
B) Change the initial settings.
Most of the settings in this window can be left as they are. The only one that you may wish to change is the one that shows the aspect ratio (number 2 in the image above). By default, it is set to the 4:3 ratio. Your video recorder may be set up to shoot in the 16:9 ratio. If it is, then just click on the empty circle next to the '16:9' option.
Click on the OK button to get rid of the 'settings' window. The next pop-up window will be for choosing the menu that shows when you first put the DVD into a DVD player.
The image above shows the menu selection screen. Firstly, your should enter a name for the DVD in the box pointed to by number 1 in the image above (it can be called anything you like).
The program has provided a number of different menus and has listed them on the left hand side under the 'Categories' heading (number 2 in the image above). Here, I have clicked on the 'Basic' option then clicked on the first menu.
When you have selected the menu that you want just click on the 'OK' button to get rid of this screen and show the main program window as below.
D) the main program window.
The image above shows the main DVD Styler window. In the upper right portion it shows what the first menu screen will look like (number 1 in the above image).
The bottom area shows a representation of what is going to be burnt to the DVD disk (number 2 in the image above). In this case, we only have the menu system that was selected which consists of the first screen and a second screen with room for 4 video titles on.
The upper left hand portion shows backgrounds that can be applied to the menu pages. You can change the background of the menus by 'dragging' one of the backgrounds over to the number 1 area on the screen. This is optional and you could just go with the default menu background.
E) Add the video file.
We have to click on an icon to add the video file -
Click on the small icon (number 1 in the image above) to open the video file selection window. This will open the good old 'File Explorer' program.
Once you find the video, click on it to 'select' it then click on the 'Open button' to go back to the main window. The video will show up at the bottom of the screen just after the menus.
F) Burn the video to the DVD.
We have to click on another icon to burn the video -
Click on the 'Burn' icon at the upper left of the window (number 1 in the above image). This will make the burning settings window pop-up.
This window will remember the settings form the previous time so yiou shouldn't have to do much changing.
You can view the DVD movie on the computer before burning it to the DVD by clicking on the little box next to the 'preview' text (number 1 in the image above).
Make sure that the little box next to the 'burn' text is selected (number 2 in the image above).
Click on the 'Start' button to start the burning process. This could take some time as the program has to convert the video from one format to another. Below is what the conversion screen looks like. You don't have to do anything with this screen.
If you have opted to preview it on the laptop, it will open the converted files in the selected player (in this case VLC media player). The image below shows the startup menu. If I I click on the 'Play all' option I can see the video playing.
You just have to close this program to go to the screen asking if you wish to continue burning to the DVD -
This screen gives you the option of carrying on to burn the DVD or to cancel if the preview didn't look right. Clicking the 'Yes' button will burn the video to the DVD.
You can have more than one video on a DVD disk. The basic menu system allows up to 4 videos to be added. Back where you added the first video you can add more by clicking on the 'add file' icon again . Each added video will be added to the 2nd menu page. You just have to make sure that they will all fit onto the DVD.

Rap superstar Eminem made a cancer-stricken fan's dreams come true on Sunday (11Jan15) by quietly paying a visit to the teenager's Michigan home.
Gage Garmo's friends and family launched a social media campaign last week (ends09Jan15) in a bid to score the 17 year old a face-to-face meeting with his hip-hop idol after learning the youngster only has a week to live.
The effort, which made use of the hashtag "#GetGageGarmoToMeetEminem", became a surprise success when the Stan hitmaker himself heard about the campaign - and reached out to Garmo's relatives to organize the visit.
Eminem agreed to stop by Garmo's home in Michigan, just 20 minutes away from his own pad, on Sunday and spent around an hour with the ailing teen, who suffers from Osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, according to TMZ.com.

Drug Testing and Selection
The AAFP at all times, supports the proper testing of new drugs and biological agents for safety and benefit as measured by health outcomes of value to patients. The Academy supports legislation to protect the public from dangerous products. It believes this protection must be balanced against the need to promote the research, innovation, production, and distribution of useful new pharmaceutical agents. Previously approved agents should be available for research or scientifically supported clinical use for "off label" indications.
The final determination as to the selection of appropirate pharmaceutical agents in the treatment of an individual is best decided by the clinician and the individual patient. (1977) (2013 COD)

I am the one who voted YES, and in fact we have our own efund in a 5-year CD. Of course we did this 3 years ago and got a very good rate. The reasoning is this: breaking of the CD entails foregoing 3 month's interest (IIRC), and if it's a true emergency (losing a job/ major accident etc.), then it's a small price to pay. And, by the way, you *can* redeem a 5-year CD on demand!On the other hand, if you are going to use the efund for the garden-variety "emergency" (car repair and such), then the 5-year CD makes no sense.-dr.nonlinear-

Jun 18, '13I think prioritization, clustering care if possible can help. but you are still new. You will get the hang of this.
May 31, '14You've probably gotten tips of your own to offer by now
I'm writing in with the same general question area. I've been in nursing a long time, but things change. They change enough that I'm looking for advice on the same question you asked:
We have a heavy patient load, no extra help, and about 1/4 our equipment doesn't work. Yes, I've told the right people and I know everyone is doing their best.
How do we nurses find time to hunt for the one working (whatever broken thing I need for right now), and do all the nursing jobs, and keep our patients happy and do our charting?
After 10 minutes in a room, the patients may still be asking for things they were slept through asking night's, but its a new day when we come on. I really need that time to go give morning meds and assess my other patients. After 10 minutes meeting needs, I've told the patients things like "I need to check my other patients right now. I'll get you that fresh ice water as soon as I can." That's when they tell me they absolutely positively need to get up to go to the toilet. High fall Risk? I'll help them, of course. Then they need help getting comfortable coming back into bed. And then they are cold so they need more blankets. We do group nursing but the rest of my team is just as busy as I am.
To put it all in one sentence- I want to make my patients happy, but there just isn't enough time to do all I have to do plus the extras they want and deserve. Advice?

In a food processor, combine all ingredients for rub and pulse until blended. Rub over both racks generously. Season with salt.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large skillet, heat 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil on high. Sear racks on all sides until well browned, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Transfer lamb to roasting pan and continue to cook in oven at 375 degrees for about 17 to 20 more minutes or until medium (internal temperature of 140 to 145 degrees).
Combine molasses with chopped mint in a medium bowl. When racks are cooked, remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes covered with foil before slicing. Slice and dip exposed sides with mint mixture.
For the yogurt sauce: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir, cover and chill until ready to serve.
Serve the lamb with grilled apricots and drizzled with yogurt sauce, if desired.
Prep: When buying lamb rack make sure they are "Frenched " ask the butcher to remove the chine bone. That will allow you to cut through the chops very easily. The pomegranate molasses is a tangy syrup that is available at any Middle Eastern specialty shop. The yogurt sauce keeps very well covered in the refrigerator for several days. Options: You can sear the apricots in a pan if you don't have access to a grill. You simply want to caramelize some of the sugar for a golden crust. The yogurt sauce is also an option that is delicious drizzled over some fresh fruit.

JEFFERSON CITY - A new four-lane highway on Route 50 in Osage County is one of the last new major construction projects planned for inclusion in the state's five-year transportation improvement program before funding levels drop. With the projects included in the draft 2009-2013 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, Amendment 3 bonds will be used up and future funding levels will only cover minimal maintenance and safety work.In the draft transportation program, approximately 6.6 miles of Route 50, from the Route 50/63 junction to County Road 604 west of Linn, will be relocated and widened to four lanes. If approved, work could begin in fall 2012.Other central Missouri major road projects are also included in the draft program, which the Missouri Department of Transportation released to allow Missourians the opportunity to look at transportation projects planned by state and regional planning agencies for fiscal years 2009 through 2013 (July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2013). Major projects in the mid-Missouri area include:
While mid-Missouri has its share of new construction over the next few years, the transportation program also reflects plummeting funding levels."We have averaged about $1.23 billion statewide for our construction program, using Amendment 3 bond funding," said Mike Dusenberg, central district planning manager. "In 2013 that amount drops to $575 million, which will only cover minimal maintenance and safety work."We rely on public comment for the projects in the new transportation plan, but now we need to talk about how lower funding levels will affect our transportation system."The draft 2009-2013 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program totals $5.78 billion, with approximately $4.35 billion going to 662 highway and bridge projects, about $790 million to other transportation modes and approximately $640 million to local transportation programs.Citizens interested in seeing the program or offering comments can contact MoDOT's customer service center at 1-888 ASK MODOT (275-6636). The program is also available on MoDOT's Web site, www.modot.org, and at MoDOT's district offices around the state. The formal public comment period ends June 27.Following the public review, the comments will be presented to the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission. The commission will review the comments and the final transportation program before considering it for approval July 2. The draft 2009-2013 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program includes transportation improvements identified by metropolitan planning organizations in St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, Columbia, Jefferson City, Joplin and St. Joseph. The STIP projects located in these areas are subject to discussion and approval by the appropriate metropolitan planning organization.

Rock of Cashel scaffolding to be removed during 2014
Cashel Councillor Tom Wood has welcomed confirmation from Minister of State, Brian Hayes that the scaffolding currently in position at the Rock of Cashel is expected to be removed during 2014.
The scaffolding was erected to provide access and cover for the conservation works at Cormac's Chapel.
Following correspondence with the Minister, who has special responsibility for the Office of Public Works, Cllr Wood was informed that the work is on course with that set out in 2009, when it was then estimated as a four to five year project.
In his letter the Minister states: "Following the erection of the scaffolding and temporary cover, Cormac's Chapel has been slowly drying out. Environmental monitoring has been taking place and is linked to an intelligent ventilation system.
"Since the chapel was enclosed, the internal environment has stabilised although it is not yet completely dry. However, monitoring of the wall paintings is also being carried out at regular intervals.
"Work is in progress on the re-roofing of the south tower following the removal of a degraded concrete roof.â€
Cllr Wood notes from the letter that the completion of the conservation of the cathedral, particularly the south chancel wall, will follow works on Cormac's Chapel. The masonry conservation to some areas of the cathedral cannot be completed until the present scaffolding is removed, but this element of the work will be of a relatively short duration and could be complete within months.
Anxious that scaffolding would not be visible on the Rock indefinitely, as had happened during previous conservation projects, Cllr Wood had corresponded with Minister of State, Brian Hayes last September seeking an update on progress.

In a large frying pan, heat the butter and oil until piping hot. Add the steaks and cook for 2 minutes each side. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the steaks to a plate, reserving the meat juices. Cover the steaks with foil and leave to rest while you make the sauce. Add the peppercorns and brandy to the pan and bring to the boil. Cook for 1 minute over a high heat, or until the sauce reduces by half. Add the reserved meat juices and chicken stock, then reduce by half again. Add the cream and simmer for another 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Serve the steaks with the sauce and a leafy green salad on the side.See more Steak recipes For top tips on protecting you and your family when preparing raw meat and poultry, visit Food Safety in the Home.

- This article refers to Antigonus I Monophthalmus (382 B.C. - 301 B.C.). For other persons named "Antigonus," see the underwritten articles.
Antigonus I Monophthalmus (382 B.C. - 301 B.C.) was a member of the army of Alexander the Great, and a high-ranking general of the same. His title, "Monopthalmus," refers to the fact that, after his youth, he had only a single eye.
Personal History
Antigonus was also a high-ranking general under Alexander's Father, Philip II of Macedon. When his son ascended to the throne, Antigonus followed Alexander on his war against Persia, and his subsequent quest through the Middle East.
Founding of the Antigonid Dynasty
Alexander the Great died without leaving plans for the dispensation of his vast Empire, which stretched from Macedon (north of Greece) to India, and included Egypt and all of modern-day Iraq. Thus, it fell to Alexander's friends and generals to manage the Empire.
However, Antigonus, and other generals, proved unable to work together, due to personal rivalries and greed. The generals thus appointed themselves the "Diadochi" - "Successors" - and dissolved the Empire, each administering an individual portion of the Empire. For example, Egypt fell to Ptolemy, who went on to call himself Pharoah Ptolemy I Soter ("The Savior"). Antigonus and his subsequent dynasty took control of Macedon, Alexander's former home, and his ancestral kingdom.
Breakdown of the Successor States
Early in the division of the Empire, the Diadochi thought of themselves of keeping custody of the territories until they could be surrendered to Alexander's young son. However, when Alexander's son died, Antigonus crowned himself King, and crowned his son (Demetrios) Prince.
Shortly thereafter, relations between the Diadochi deteriorated further, and war broke out between the former friends. These wars - the "Wars of the Diadochi" - form the backdrop of the Hellenistic Era, and lasted until the ascendancy of Rome.
Antigonus' Successors
An old man, Antigonus did not live to see much of the future of his inherited nation (Macedon). However, members of his ruling dynasty (the Antigonids) would rule for some time to come, continually clashing with other Diadochi, especially Ptolemy. For examples, the second Antigonid ruler, Demetrios, fought many wars against Ptolemy, ultimately earning the title "Poliorketes" (Besieger of Many Cities).
In fact, one of the wonders of the Ancient World, the Colossus at Rhodes, was erected to honor Ptolemy after he defeated Demetriois in a pitched battle for the city of Rhodes.


text: As directed by Arthur Hoerl, this 1933 crime drama begins with a bank teller being pressured by an unsavory criminal to repay massive gambling debts. The cashier attempts to comply by withdrawing $100,000 from the bank's vault, but in the process, the criminal murders the cashier and a bank guard in cold blood, and absconds with the money. A cunning reporter then turns up and vows to ascertain the killer's identity.

Reviews and Launch of Into the Woods
Here you can see our beautiful table all set up before the doors opened at Cardiff Comic Expo this weekend. The convention was great and I have to say we sold very well, which was a relief! Several of our artists - Simon Wyatt, StuArt Tipples and Conor Boyle sketched at various points over the weekend and it was great having Stu's original art (and Simons for awhile too) out on the table which generated a lot of interest too. From a newbie point of view this was a great convention to launch at, Mike Allwood made it as easy and smooth as could be and having Mr Conman on hand to help with the table, sign books in the tiniest writing you have ever seen and generally calm me down was brilliant. Also having wonderful table neighbours in the form of Futurequake Press LEGEND Dave Evans and Bearded Skull comics guys on the other side made the slow times pass far more quickly.
We have now had two reviews go up on that there internet, you can find one here from the fabulous Lizzie Boyle and another over at the Geek Syndicate website here if you should so desire to see such things I urge you to do so!
The big news is that the Big Cartel shop went live this morning so should you wish to purchase Into the Woods for yourself (and for what reason could you possibly not?) you can do so for five english pounds sterling plus p&p. Have a look and a shop if you like!

|Re: Tomcat in a High Traffic Environment
|Fri, 29 Oct 2004 15:45:15 GMT
Hi Yoav, I have not read the Servlet Spec, so please pardon my ignorance. (Definitely do not mean to offend). What I still haven't had clearly answered is: User A sends request (with keepalive) to tomcat. Tomcat assigns request to thread (T1). Tomcat sends result back. Is thread T1 now kept reserved for user A until he/ or tomcat closes the keep-alive connection? If this is the case, and I now have 1000 users, each with 2 connections per user (ie: 2000 connections) do I need 2000 threads? What if the requests each only take a very short amount of time? The server is capable of answering a lot more requests than those from the 1000 users, but due to the number of connections and threads, I am limited to the 1000 users per machine... Or am I just missing something here... I can understand the issue with the one thread one request in the Spec - am just wondering if there isn't a better way, as I can not see how this can possible scale in a high traffic environment - or maybe I just don't understand... :-( Thanks Andrew On 29.10.2004, at 17:28, Shapira, Yoav wrote: > > Hi, > >> these keep-alive connections?

Transforming lives at home and abroad
Autism Speaks is committed to helping meet the needs of children and adults affected by autism in underserved communities at home and abroad. Through our Global Autism Public Health Initiative (GAPH), we collaborate with families, professionals, advocacy groups and governments in more than 70 countries, with the shared goals of better understanding the global issues surrounding autism and enabling the practical and effective delivery of care.
GAPH initiatives include:
Innovation in service delivery
In partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), we help develop urgently needed resources for families and care providers in low-resource areas.
Epidemiology research
Autism Speaks works closely with partners, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to investigate and measure autism prevalence in diverse populations.
Guiding policy and research priorities
We are giving the autism community a voice in health policies and federal research priorities through our collaboration with government agencies and organizations that include the National Academy of Medicine, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the CDC.
The support of the global autism community makes this vital work possible.
Developing global solutions
More than 85 percent of the world's autism community lives in low- and middle-income countries, where many face extreme stigma and few have access to autism services and support. Working with the United Nations (UN) and WHO, we help nations create self-sustaining public health programs and research networks to address autism.
As facilitators, technical advisors and co-funders, we strive to:
* Engage local families and community stakeholders
* Amplify our partners' investments in autism programs
* Support the delivery of sustainable and effective services
* Launch research that is more practical to perform abroad
GAPH's collaborative programs include:
Parent Skills Training
An affordable and culturally adaptable training program developed in collaboration with the WHO to foster the development and social skills of children with autism and other developmental disabilities. Learn more about the Autism Speaks/WHO Parent Skills Training program here.
Autism Researchers without Borders
An international partnership of highly skilled volunteers, including clinicians, researchers and graduate students providing technical expertise and other crucial services around the world. Learn more about the program here.
Practical and affordable screening and diagnostic tools
Through GAPH, Autism Speaks is supporting the development of scientifically validated and royalty-free autism screening and diagnostic methods. These tools are desperately needed in resource-poor regions of the world, where the screening and diagnostic methods used in highly developed nations prove impractical and unaffordable. These new, cutting-edge tools include mobile-health technology that can extend services to rural and other underserved regions. They are also equipped to deliver web-based information that can advance autism research at home as well as abroad.
System of Care Tool Kit
In collaboration with our international partners, we are developing a guidebook to share best-practice methods and programs that can enable nations and regions to develop and improve autism services and public health policies in low-resource regions.
Empowering World Leaders
Autism Speaks works with dedicated partners worldwide to advance their work through a combination of technical expertise, diplomatic connections and modest funding. Our global partners include:
The United Nations
UN missions from every continent have joined us in making autism a global priority by adopting groundbreaking resolutions.
The World Health Organization
The WHO has worked closely with Autism Speaks to commit national health ministries to implement evidence-based, culturally appropriate autism services for underserved communities.
The Advocacy Leadership Network
Hosted by Autism Speaks, the annual meeting of our Advocacy Leadership Network brings together autism advocacy organizations and government health ministries from over 40 countries to discuss research and advance UN and WHO resolutions on autism services and human rights.
World Focus on Autism
Since 2008, this powerful network of First Spouses and other dignitaries has fostered the adoption of GAPH programs worldwide.
GAPH regional networks
Serving as a technical adviser and supporter, Autism Speaks helps create regional awareness, training and program networks throughout the world. These include:
Southeast Europe Autism Network, with representatives from the ministries of health and family/stakeholder groups in nine countries;
Red Espectro Autista Latinoamérica, a collaboration between researchers and service providers in six countries of Central and South America and the Caribbean.
GAPH at home
Through GAPH, Autism Speaks plays a major role in guiding public health research and policies in the United States to ensure that they meet the needs of our large and growing autism community. This includes work with:
The CDC, to design and support research that improves detection of autism and produces more-accurate estimates of its prevalence across the nation;
The National Academy of Medicine, to identify and address gaps in programs and policies affecting children and adults with disabilities involving complex health and education needs;
The Data Resource Center for Child and Adolescent Health, to build the Autism Pathways Data Portal, which enables parents, researchers and the general public to access a wealth of information on autism services and family experiences.
Minority, immigrant, rural and other underserved communities to improve access to effective and appropriate autism services.
Through GAPH, Autism Speaks is transforming tens of millions of lives.
Please join us in the crucial work.

First decision
Second decision
Third decision
The Supreme Court recently issued three decisions regarding the validity of dismissals following disciplinary procedures and the evaluation of proportionality between the alleged conduct of employees and the decision to dismiss them.
Supreme Court Decision 8246/2016 examined the applicability of the guarantees provided in disciplinary proceedings under Article 7 of the Workers' Statute to executives. If an employer fails to conduct a disciplinary procedure correctly, its ability to dismiss an employee (even for valid reasons) will be compromised. As a result, the validity of a dismissal will determine the consequences provided for by law (ie, payment in lieu of notice) and as provided by collective bargaining; additional compensation may be paid to industrial executives.
Supreme Court Decision 8248/2016 examined a dismissal regarding an employee's legal disability and resulting "lack of fitness to perform contractual duties". The case involved a company that dismissed an employee who was officially recognised as blind. The company argued that it became aware of the employee's disability only after it was officially recognised and he was unable to perform his job. The court decided that the dismissal was void under Article 3 of Law 108/90 on discriminatory dismissal due to disability.
Supreme Court Decision 8236/2016 examined a disciplinary procedure. It focused on the evaluation of proportionality under Article 2106 of the Civil Code. Pursuant to Article 1455 of the Civil Code, the minimum requirement for dismissal is a breach of "no little importance", which includes a significant breach of discipline that constitutes a subjective justification for dismissal.
The Supreme Court judgments confirm that when determining the validity of dismissals, there must be consistency between the employee's alleged conduct, the acts committed and the assessment of their gravity with regard to contractual obligations.

|Adolescent pupils perceptions of teacher racism

|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
Underpinning this research, is the belief that lying at the heart of the process of education, is the interpersonal relationship between the teacher and pupil. However, we have very little knowledge of this relationship from the view of ethnicity, particularly from the pupils' perspective. It is argued that the revelation of these perceptions is fundamentally important in coming to an understanding of the effects teacher racism and ethnocentricity may have on pupils, why some of our schools seem to alienate so many ethnic-minority pupils, and why educational opportunity is not equal for all ethnic groups. So, four 5-minute video presentations of actual classroom episodes, reconstructed for the purposes of the research have been produced. The films were scripted and role-played by a multi-ethnic group of twenty-one, Year Nine and Year Ten, comprehensive school pupils. Each film focuses on the behaviour of a white, female teacher towards pupils of visible ethnic minority groups. A drama teacher elicited performances from the pupils and faithfully interpreted their directions in her portrayal of each of their four devised teacher roles. Most of the pupil role-players subsequently provided their independent accounts of each of the roleplays. These accounts have been subjected to qualitative content analysis and systematic network analysis. These analyses have resulted in the modelling of the participants' perceptions of teachers' racist behaviours and actions. This model suggests that the participants consider that racist teachers do not accord 'black' pupils standards of respect and justice which compare favourably with those which they accord 'white' pupils. The qualitative analysis (content analysis and systematic network analysis) of the bubble dialogue data, has revealed a number of ways in which adolescents think that the racist teacher thinks. The participants in this research seem to be suggesting that, ultimately, the racist teacher's thinking is driven by the idea that '"white" people have a divine right to rule'. Therefore, in view of the conclusion that adolescents do have a shrewd awareness of teacher racism, it has been proposed that there is a clear need for the further racism awareness training of teachers, and, in fact, of all adults who have work-based relationships with young people. However, it has also been said that many lines of enquiry for further investigation have been suggested by this research.

This match is played for D!ngIT. It would not be the first time a match will be thrown in this league. To be honest I would not trust betting my skins on a heavy overdog like this.
I'm not to sure about an upset happening but i am not sure about a victory for ESC either way. For this match i would play the odds and go ICB on Hard'N'Play.
If you dont want to go ICB just skip it. I would never bet on ESC in a match up like this. It might end up in a 'free' win for ESC but i would just not take the risk.
ICB on Hard'N'Play would be the best shot u've got here.
My odds for this match: ESC 65:35 HPlay

BP PLC's woes extend beyond the recent oil spill in the Gulf: The U.S. Labor Department announced that BP Products North America Inc., a unit of BP, has been fined a record $50.6 million penalty and will be subject to "an unprecedented level of oversight" in connection to an explosion at a Texas refinery in 2005 that killed 15 workers and injured 170.
The refinery explosion in Texas City, Texas led to "failure to abate" violations arising from a follow-up inspection last year that resulted in the $50.6 million fine. The amount is the largest penalty ever issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and paid by an employer, the Labor Department said.
"The size of the penalty rightly reflects BP's disregard for workplace safety and shows that we will enforce the law so workers can return home safe at the end of their day," the Labor Department said in a statement. "Additionally, the agreement provides an unprecedented level of oversight of BP's safety program including regular meetings with OSHA, frequent site inspections and the submission of quarterly reports for the agency's review."
In a statement, BP said the agreement resolves 270 of 709 citations. BP also said it contested the citations and maintains that it has implemented safety enhancements at the refinery since 2005.
"BP and OSHA elected to focus on resolving 270 failure-to-abate citations, which are the subject of this settlement," BP said. "Both parties have agreed to settle these matters and focus on moving forward collaboratively in order to continue to improve plant safety. This new agreement addresses the concerns that OSHA raised in these citations. BP is hopeful that this agreement will provide a platform to resolve the remaining citations."
BP agreed to "quickly" address remaining concerns and hire independent experts to monitor its progress, the Labor Department said.

|Draw in English
Have some of your student finished a task way before the others?
Ask them to draw in English!
The only rule is: "You can only draw what you already know how to say in English". I don't ask them to write the words, but eventually they all end up doing that to prove to the teacher they DO know what they're drawing (even if they misspell it...Oops).
On the other hand, there might be a "Bruno" on a class somewhere who decides to draw a shark, because he's mad about sharks and he can really say the word SHARK with all his teeth ;). However, Bruno accidentally draws some seaweed on the bottom of the ocean as well...Oh, Oh... Well, he's just given you a great opportunity for some vocabulary work ;) Grab it!

How To Choose The Best Espresso Machine For Your Home, According To Your Needs and Budget.
Welcome to Bestespressomachineforhome.info, your guide to buying the best espresso machine for your home.
Our website features all kind of information you need to help you choose an espresso machine that is right for your needs, budget, and fully meets your expectation. Have a question about espresso, espresso machines or coffee? Our articles and reviews will answer them for you, and if they don't, you can always contact us with your question and we'll be happy to help!
Kinds of Espresso Machines You Can Get:
There are a number of espresso machines available on the market. Which one would be the right one for you?
– Steam espresso machines are a very affordable low-budget espresso machine that uses steam to brew a full cup of coffee rather than the regular shot of espresso. Prices for this type of machine range from $30 to $60, depending on the quality of the machine.
– Pump espresso machines is what you want for a real shot of espresso. The machines uses a pump that forces water to brew a full-bodied shot of espresso with excellent crema that you can drink or use as the base of any coffee drink. Good news is, prices for a pump-driven machine start at LESS than $100 for a basic machine.
The majority of espresso machines are Pump-driven, which is great for you. But, there are still many choices to pick from. Will you prefer:
– a manual espresso machine? which is the most basic espresso machine available.
– a semi-automatic espresso machine? which will automatically adjust the right temperature and steam level for you but will level a few other options for you to adjust (for extra customization).
– An automatic espresso machine – usually includes a built-in grinder and automatically grinds and doses coffee to brew you espresso with a touch of a button.
– Or lastly, but certainly not least, a super-automatic espresso machine, that is very well named as it's quite super: it automatically grinds, brews coffee, froths milk, cleans and maintains itself automatically. It comes with quite a price tag, though.
And let's not forget the single-serve espresso machines; fully automatic budget machines with pre-measured coffee capsules for a convenient cup of espresso with a touch of a button!
Read more on how to choose the right espresso machine for you, and which type of espresso machine is right for you.
An Espresso Machine for Every Budget:
Decided on your budget yet? While there's an espresso machine for every budget, the machines varies in their features, quality and durability.
– You can get a basic espresso machine for under $100, or if you can stretch your budget up to $300, you can get a more durable machine with better features.
– For $500 and under, you can get a pretty decent semi-automatic or automatic espresso machine.
– A budget of $500 to $900 can take you to the world of automatic espresso machines which will have you enjoying your coffee with minimal effort on your part.
– Got more than $1000 to spend on a machine? Say hello to a luxurious super-automatic espresso machine!
The Ultimate Convenience of The Single-Serve Espresso Machine:
You've probably heard of single-serve espresso machines by now. They give you the convenience of an automatic espresso machine, with the price of an affordable espresso machine of $300 and under. Single-serve espresso machines use special capsules that already have the measure of coffee required for the perfect shot of espresso. You simply insert the capsule into the machine and push a button to get your shot of espresso! No mess, no clean up!
Pros of Single-Serve Espresso Machine:
- Convenience: it brews coffee quickly and easily.
- Minimal clean-up required: the capsule you brew usually goes into a used-capsule drawer that holds 10 to 16 capsules (depending on the machine) before you have to discard them. So no clean-up time required after you brew your espresso.
Cons of single-serve espresso machines:
- Most single-serve machines brands only allow their own brand of capsules to be used with their machines. So, if you commit to a machine, you commit to one brand of coffee.
- The price of capsules can get expensive, depending on which brand you settle on. One cup of coffee can cost you anywhere from $0.60 to $1 per cup, which is still A LOT cheaper than your coffee chain espresso or coffee drink.
Which Single-Serve Espresso Machine is Best?
We have a comparison of single-serve espresso machines here, but right now, the most popular single-serve in the market is Nespresso. It offers a wide range of machines, and a large variety of coffee blends for their capsules. Using a Nespresso machine, you can brew a shot of Espresso, or by using their electric milk frother (or any other frother, for that matter), you can create all sorts of delicious gourmet coffee drinks.
Which Nespresso Machine is Best to Buy?
The top three Nespresso machines are now are Nespresso U, Nespresso Pixie and Nespresso CitiZ. You can read our comparison for each machine to decide which one is best for you.
Other Single-Serve espresso machine brands include: CBTL Single-Serve brewing center, Gaggia for illy, Francis Francis for illy and Keurig Rivo for Lavazza.
Now we've got the espresso machines covered, it's time to decide which type of coffee it best o brew, how to grind it, and how to prepare your favorite coffee drinks….
Which Coffee Is Best for Espresso?
One of the biggest misinformation people have about espresso is that it's a type of coffee. Well, that's partially true… but Espresso is actually the name of the METHOD the coffee is brewed in, and not the coffee bean itself. Selecting the right coffee bean for espresso will depend on how you like your coffee: do you prefer a mild taste? then go for a medium roast. If you like a strong and full coffee taste, then you'll want a dark roast. Click here for some coffee bean recommendations for espresso.
How to Grind Your Coffee for Espresso?
To make the perfect shot of espresso, your coffee must be freshly ground, right before you brew it. If you decided to go for an espresso machine with a built-in grinder, this shouldn't be an issue as the machine will grind the coffee for you automatically before brewing. If you go for another type of machine, then you'll definitely need a grinder.
The best type of coffee grinder for espresso is a conical burr grinder, that's a grinder that uses steel burrs that slowly rotate to perfectly grind the beans quietly and without a mess. To brew espresso, the coffee must be very finely ground.
Many people decide to skimp on the coffee grinder, and that's the worst decision you can make. The coffee ground you use will make or break the quality of your espresso, and you'll throw the blame on the machine when it's actually the coffee you're using that could be wrong.
You can see our recommendations for best conical burr grinders under $200. Alternatively, you can buy pre-ground coffee as long as you use it within a week and store the coffee the best way possible.
Preparing the Best Cup of Cappuccino or Latte at Home:
Cappuccino vs. Latte, What is the Difference?
The difference is quite simple, it has to do with the texture and volume of milk that each drink contains:
- Cappuccino contains a shot of espresso, steamed milk and is topped with a generous amount of milk foam.
- Latte contains espresso, steamed milk (more than a Cappuccino) and very little foam.
Now you've decided to get an espresso machine, making those drinks at home is easier than ever, and will cost you a fraction of your favorite cafe's price.
If your espresso machine includes a built-in milk frother, it makes the process of making your favorite drink easy. If not, you can still make them by using an electric milk frother. You can also get creative and add different flavors to your coffee, and once you get the hang of all the required tasks, you should be able to take your new skill to the next level and make beautiful latte art!
All this information should cover the basics of everything you need to know about espresso machines for home and making espresso and coffee drinks.

BSN degree, not yet RN, can I apply as LPN?
I graduated BSN last year. I have RN license in my home country. I have no job experience. Right now, I'm in the USA so basically, my RN license from my home country is useless here. So I'm in the process of taking the NCLEX so I can become a US-RN soon. But right now, I need a job that is related to the nursing field so I can support myself with all the expenses.
Okay so at the moment, I have BSN degree and no job experience in the nursing field. What jobs can I apply for?
I've been searching for jobs but most of the open positions are
1) CNA/Nursing assistant (but with that, you need to have a certification!)
2) LPN/LVN (but with that, you also need to be a licensed practical/vocational nurse!)
Someone told me that even if I only have BSN degree and no US-RN license yet, I can already apply as LPN/LVN? Is this true? Is this possible? Sorry, I'm not familiar with LPN LVN ADN and all that stuff because we don't have that in my home country.

Joined: Dec '11; Posts: 24; Likes: 6Oct 6, '12Agree with previous post. Even to practice as a CNA, you must be certified in your state after passing a written and a skills test. To work as a LPN you must pass a test -the NCLEX, but for LPN instead of RNs. Does not matter what type of college degree you have.Oct 6, '12As previous posters have said, you cannot practice as an LPN unless you have passed the LPN board exam.
However, in many places (hospitals, nursing homes etc.) you can work as a Nursing Assistant/Patient Care Tech/Patient Care Assistant (or whatever the facility chooses to call it) while pursuing your RN license. That's what I did once I graduated from nursing school, before I passed my boards and even after I was officially an RN but could not find an RN job -- I worked as an aide in a local hospital. Many places will hire nursing students who have completed some clinical hours or graduate nurses into nursing aide positions. Some facilities have a policy that a board-certified RN cannot work as an aide (even if s/he has not been hired by the facility as an RN), so make sure to ask about facility policy if you apply.
Be aware: aide pay is nothing close to nurses' pay, but it's still money coming in when you are trying to offset expenses.Oct 9, '12Quote from DallaMany facilities will take non-certified people to work in the CNA role. The vast majority of the aides at my last place of employment were not "certified". I worked as an aide while in college and never took any kind of test- written or skills. So, basically, this varies widely by state and facility.Agree with previous post. Even to practice as a CNA, you must be certified in your state after passing a written and a skills test. To work as a LPN you must pass a test -the NCLEX, but for LPN instead of RNs. Does not matter what type of college degree you have.
OP, you cannot practice as an LPN without an LPN license, which means taking the NCLEX-PN.Oct 9, '12Thank you all for your insight and explanations! Maybe I'll just try to apply at my local hospitals as Nursing Assistant/Patient Care Assistant. If they want a certification for a nursing assistant job and I'm not qualified, then that's okay. There's no harm in trying. I just really want to work in the nursing field because I graduated a year ago and I don't want to "forget" the skills that I learned in school. Again, thank you all. I appreciate it.Oct 9, '12I am not certified as a CNA but work as an aide. My title is different but the job description is the same. I have a different certification that focuses more on critical situations. It is dependent on the state you are in and the facility. Good luck in your hunt and good luck with NCLEX

Teachers can find online faculty jobs on academic job sites, such as HigherEdJobs, Insider Higher Ed and The Chronicle of Higher Education. Academics interested in online positions must have advanced qualifications and be aware of the unique challenges of online teaching, including course load, pay scale and curriculum restrictions.Continue Reading
HigherEdJobs, Insider Higher Ed and The Chronicle of Higher Education all offer online databases listing available teaching positions at colleges all over the country, including a substantial number of online positions. While HigherEdJobs and Insider Higher Ed both allow users to narrow their searches specifically to online positions, The Chronicle of Higher Education only offers listings that users can browse.
When applying for online teaching positions, academics also need to consider the different challenges inherent to online teaching. There are very few full-time, tenure-track positions, and the vast majority of online faculty are adjuncts who are paid based on the number of courses they teach. Distance learning programs often cram more coursework into a shorter period of time to accommodate working students, which can create more work for faculty. The pay for teaching online courses is typically not high, and teachers may need to take on courses at multiple institutions to make a living wage. Additionally, many online courses have pre-set curricula, which can cut down on teachers' academic freedom.Learn more about Career Aspirations
