A) This is not a dorm, but an apartment building where grown-ups live. People not particularly interested in sharing your four-year-long suspended adolescence. Please do not make excessive noise coming or going or once in your apartment (excessive meaning that which may be heard more than two apartments or floors away). This includes, but is not limited to: running squealing like a stupid drunk girl down the hallway, loud travel between floors and units, Metallica at top decibel on repeat for three hours, shouting out of windows, knocking on doors as if you were on fire, 3am suburban whitebread fighting on the sidewalk out front, and/or loud parties involving group renditions of "Bohemian Rhapsody" at the top of your lugs.
B) Failure to refrain from the above behavior will necessitate not the presence of a sympathetic RA and campus security rent-a-cops, but several of Chicago's finest. Mom and Dad will certainly frown upon hauling your ass out of jail and may just confiscate that extra kegger money.
C) Contrary to the age you typically behave, this is not your parent's house. Please keep your trash, junk, and expulsion of all bodily fluids limited to your own apartment.

The Boardwalk
The Boardwalk, located between the waterfront wetlands and the Resort, is a great place for a walk or to enjoy a stroll with your dog. Many of our guests enjoy the boardwalk in the early morning or evening when the frogs, ducks and birds are active.
Shoreline Path
Starting at the Summerland Waterfront Resort & Spa lining the shore of Lake Okanagan, this paved path is approximately 3 kms. This paved path takes you through Rotary Beach, Summerland Pier, Peach Orchard playground and open field and it ends by the boat launch. If you wish to carry on, the path goes through a residential area an additional 6 kms to Crescent Beach.
Road cycling is a very popular activity in the Okanagan Valley. Whether you are participating in the GranFondo or touring the wineries of Bottleneck drive with pedal power, there are many discoveries to be had.
Enjoy a pleasant stroll along the waterfront or get high above it all in Summerland on Giant's Head Mountain. Summerland offers a wide range of hikes from flat trails to the historic Trans Canada trail. After a day of hiking, the pool or waterfront patio is a favourite spot.

How to titrate a Cardizem drip
Nurses deal with tons of different procedures, problems, illnesses and symptoms at work every day. And while you learn how to handle most situations while in school, you may be rusty in certain areas that you don't deal with often. We're checking off one item that may be on your "what the heck is that?" list with this breakdown on how to titrate a Cardizem drip, courtesy of The Nerdy Nurse.
First, an important message: "Patients who require Cardizem are usually facing life threatening conditions like A-fib and this can be very stressful to a nurse who doesn't typically deal with this sort of condition. Depending on your floor there may actually be policies that states that you should transfer patients to critical care or intensive care units if they require titration on a Cardizem gtt. You should make sure that you are familiar with your facilities policy on the subject of Cardizem drips before you take responsibility for this nursing skill."
What is Cardizem used for and how does it work?
Cardizem is a medication administered for cardiac conditions. According to AdocateHealth.com:
A calcium channel blocker used to slow the ventricular rate of rapid atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. Calcium contributes to the contraction of the heart and constriction of the arteries. Blocking the movement of calcium relaxes vascular smooth muscle (decreasing peripheral resistance) lowering the blood pressure and slowing conduction through the AV node which slows the heart rate which will reduce the work load of the heart.
When the patient sustains a rapid heart rate it could lead to an increased risk of myocardial damage (cardiomyopathy) and deterioration into ventricular fibrillation. The varying stroke volume (amount of blood pumped out of the ventricle with each contraction) decreases and causes the cardiac output to decrease. Patients will need intervention when the heart rate is over 100 and they are symptomatic.
Goal of therapy:
- Rate control – can be accomplished in the field with medication
- Maintenance of sinus rhythm – done in hospital
- Prevention of thromboembolism – initiated in hospital with medication
Rapid atrial fibrillation is a life-threatening condition and should be handled as an emergency issue once identified.
Monitoring the patient:
"Patients with Cardizem drips are facing cardiac issues which require close surveillance and monitoring by a nurse. This often means 2 on 1 or perhaps even 1 on 1. At the very least the patient needs to be on a cardiac telemetry monitor so that a telemetry nurse can monitor their rhythm and help you stay aware of any changes they see. This is not a substitute for eyeing the patient, but is an extra safeguard and is usually required by the hospital. If it's not required, it's still a good idea to ask the doctor for an order for cardiac monitoring. No nurse I know can tell a patient's heart rhythm just by looking at them. If you can, you need to contact me and tell me when you developed superpowers."
Learn more about the process at The Nerdy Nurse and let us know your experience with the procedure in the comments!

Economist Larry Kudlow reacted Friday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" to the Obama administrations's poor numbers for the month of May's jobs report, saying he believes the country is entering "a mild business recession."
"It's been five months now and the only reason the unemployment rate fell a bit is because 458,000 people left the labor force," Kudlow explained.
"It's not a pretty picture" he added. "I think we are in a mild business recession. "It's not a whole economy recession, because consumers are still spending some and housing is OK, but I gotta tell ya — business recessions are always the leading indicator."

Starbucks goes (RED) for World AIDS DAY

Shopping for your wedding gown
- Allow your self at least 6-8 months to order your gown.
- Visit the bridal salon during the week when it is much less busy. The weekend crowd is just too much and you may not get the attention you deserve. Be sure to schedule and appointment!
- Don't take a large group of people. You'll likely be overwhelmed by all of the opinions. Chances are you already know what you want in a gown and may feel that you have to please everyone - even at your own expense. I would suggest taking your mother, best friend, or wedding planner. Just try to keep the count to two people if at all possible. You can always take others later after you have made your selection.
- Although you may have an idea of what you want, allow the bridal gown consultant to show you other gowns. They have seen lots of gowns and body types and can find one you may have never considered. Who knows, it may even be the one you choose.
- Take along appropriate undergarments. This is also a great time to have a bra fitting. Remember, you should be fitted at least twice a year.
- Take along dresses shoes. You probably won't know what shoes you'll wear yet, but you should take some along to get the feel of what your dress will look like with heels.
- Take a camera. However, keep in mind that most salons won't allow you to photograph until you actually put a deposit on the gown. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Vendor Spotlight - Le'Penn Designs
- Le'Penn Designs officially started at the very end of 2006 when my husband, Charles, and I were discussing starting a new business venture and I thought invitations and stationery would be a perfect fit because I have always had a natural talent for design. I had created the flyers and website for my sorority {DST} in college and was always called upon by family and friends to create some type of invitation for them. Our first order officially came in January 2007 and the rest is history! I am amazed at how much the business is growing and I'm anxious to see where we end up 5 years from now. Our business is my absolute passion and it is something that I put all of my energy and creativity into. There is nothing else I'd rather be doing than designing fabulous paper for so many wonderful clients!
-Our biggest design inspiration comes from our clients personality and theme. We build a connection with them in order to know what direction to take in designing their invitation suite. We go over colors, materials, embellishments and styles until we find the perfect fit for them. No two invitations we design are exactly the same so I'm always anxious to get the creative juices flowing for a new design. It's always exciting once we start working on the proofs and all of the ideas discussed at the consultation start to come together."
Make sure you stop by and visit Le'Trice at her blog Le'Penn Designs to see more of her awesome designs.

High Tea 2009
Our Menu:
English and Asian Origin Tea Selections
Variety of English Finger Sandwiches:
Tomato and Watercress
Seedless Cucumber and Walnut
Imported Smoked Salmon
Salami with Mustard and Sprouts
An Assortment of Bite-Size English Pastries and Petit Fours
Canterbury Signature Scones served with Preserves, Marmalades, & Fresh Whipped Cream
I found this interesting tidbit of information from What's Cooking:
According to legend, one of Queen Victoria's (1819-1901) ladies-in-waiting, Anna Maria Stanhope (1783-1857), known as the Duchess of Bedford, is credited as the creator of afternoon teatime. Because the noon meal had become skimpier, the Duchess suffered from "a sinking feeling" at about four o'clock in the afternoon. At first the Duchess had her servants sneak her a pot of tea and a few breadstuffs. Adopting the European tea service format, she invited friends to join her for an additional afternoon meal at five o'clock in her rooms at Belvoir Castle. The menu centered around small cakes, bread and butter sandwiches, assorted sweets, and, of course, tea. This summer practice proved so popular, the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for "tea and a walking the fields." The practice of inviting friends to come for tea in the afternoon was quickly picked up by other social hostesses.
We have called this event High Tea for so long , but actually what we are enjoying is Afternoon Tea. Whatever you call it, I call it a good time with friends - old and new alike!
More from What's Cooking: High Tea is often a misnomer. Most people refer to afternoon tea as high tea because they think it sounds regal and lofty, when in all actuality, high tea, or "meat tea" is dinner. High tea, in Britain, at any rate, tends to be on the heavier side. American hotels and tea rooms, on the other hand, continue to misunderstand and offer tidbits of fancy pastries and cakes on delicate china when they offer a "high tea."
Afternoon tea (because it was usually taken in the late afternoon) is also called "low tea" because it was usually taken in a sitting room or withdrawing room where low tables (like a coffee table) were placed near sofas or chairs generally in a large withdrawing room.
Ladies : Look for your invitation in the mail in the next few weeks!

Epi-pens are used to revive unconscious players. They can be found in military and deer stand spawns, but are more commonly found in hospitals. Epi-pens take up a single inventory slot, and are used by choosing the "Give Epi-Pen" option from the mouse wheel menu on an unconscious player. Epi-Pens cannot be used on the player by themselves.
Personally I think they should of given it a different name, because if anyone knows what an epi-pen is you would think it is to cure an allergic reaction. That said they should of probably introduced it as adrenalin and for a short period of time make the sensitivity of the mouse go up on the survivor to make it seem like they are in a rushed state.
Idk... personal opinion i guess.
Used on unconscious players to immediately awaken them. This is ineffective on dead players. It only works while the player is unconscious. -DayZ Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epinephrine <-- read this. This is exactly what epi-pens do, all of what you want with the adrenaline injectors.
Its used for allergic reactions so one doesnt die because of lack of oxygen to the brain, anti-histamines are what is used to treat the actual allergy in you, not the epinephrine

Activities: Checklist
This is a Moodle activity module for Moodle 1.9 and Moodle 2.0+ that allows a teacher to create a checklist / todo list / task list for their students to work through. The teacher can monitor all the students' progress, as they tick off each of the items in the list. Items can be indented and marked as optional. Students are presented with a simple bar showing how far they have progressed through the required/optional items and can add their own, private, items to the list.
Features include:
- Choose whether students or teachers can check-off items
- Students can add their own notes to their checklist
- Dates can be added to items (and exported to the calendar)
- Teachers can comment on an individual student's items
- Progress is exported to the gradebook
- Choice of colours for each checklist item
- Heading items (without checkboxes)
- (Optional) Import list of current course activities and automatically check-off as activities completed
There are two other plugins that further enhance this activity:
Video overview of this plugin:
The latest version (and the Moodle 1.9 version) can always be found here: https://github.com/davosmith/moodle-checklist (the version on Moodle.org will be updated from time to time)
Useful links
- Mon, 12 Jun 2017, 10:59 PMJust an update - After the server was rolled back to the snapshot taken just before updating Checklist, the warning still appears in the same circumstance. So, this could have become and issue after one of the May updates and I just hadn't noticed. It seems to be the same warning referenced in this tracker item - https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-3904, except that in that situation, the warning occurred when resetting a course. I do not get the warning when resetting a course with a Checklist.
Any advice is appreciated!
- Tue, 24 Oct 2017, 11:36 PMDavid, is it possible to set default view for a teacher to see, by default, "View Progress / Progress Bars" view when clicking on the checklist activity?
And THANKS... This plugin is excellent!
- Fri, 27 Oct 2017, 9:34 PMHi Robert,
I'm afraid there is no existing setting to control the default view on the report page. If you really want progress bars to be the default, then look in checklist/locallib.php for function get_report_settings() and change $settings->showprogressbars = false to $settings->showprogressbars = true - but you'll need to make that change after any upgrades.
Alternatively, if you have a developer who can make a small patch to create a global setting for that option, then I'd be happy to integrate it into my code.
- Wed, 22 Nov 2017, 3:31 AMHi David, thank you for this great plugin!!! Is there an easy way by setting or coding to disable the possibility to follow links in the Automatic generated Checklist? I want my students only want to show the list of activities without links, cause some of them are hidden. But in the Automatic generated Checklist the links are always there?!? Thanks again for help
- Wed, 22 Nov 2017, 5:31 AMThomas, if an activity is hidden, it shouldn't be shown in the list of checklist items. If you want to remove an item that should not be there, then you can do that by editing the checklist and hiding that item (this doesn't affect the visibility of the activity itself, just whether or not it is displayed in the checklist).
There isn't a feature that allows you to include an activity, without a link. You could, however, just create a manual item in the list and use that instead of an activity (as that wouldn't have a link - although it also wouldn't automatically check-off when the activity is completed).
- Mon, 4 Dec 2017, 7:16 PMHello,
I would like to ask if check lists can be used collaboratively with students working on a group project? I would like the students to break down the project into tasks that they can all see on their shared checklist, agree on tasks and prioritise work. Is this possible?
- Mon, 4 Dec 2017, 7:20 PMChecklists do not (currently) allow multiple users to update the same checklist as a group. It may be something I add in the future, but I am rarely able to add such features in my spare time.
- Sun, 28 Jan 2018, 1:58 AMHi there,
First up, Loving the plugin. I use it for my sports club to allow me (as a coach) to set up different skills (each one being a checklist) and I then go in and tick their checklist once I have seen them demonstrate the skill.
As there are about 50 girls to mark off, and i have used 3 seperate check list instances - one for each skill level, it would be great if I could display all of their names when I click the "edit checks". Is there a way I can extend the view to show more names.
Any other people using this in this way that could share ideas. Happy to write a breakdown of how I am using it, as it really does work well.
Thanks so much to one and all.
- Mon, 29 Jan 2018, 2:42 AMDarren - there's no user interface for it, but it you add '&perpage=100' (or any other number you like) to the end of the webpage address, then it will show that many users on each page of the report. Saving the form with more users on it *should* work (but I've not tested it to make sure - I don't have a sample course with that many users on it to check against right now).
Maybe someday I could add something to the form to set the number of users per page, but I'm not going to promise to do so in the near future.
- Fri, 16 Mar 2018, 11:01 PMHello,
Is that possible to freeze the titles of the colomns and the titles of the lignes in the 'edit checks' section. We are using an electronic tablet with Moodle 3.3. Thank you.
- Fri, 16 Mar 2018, 11:06 PMDaniel,
Entirely possible to write, but would take a few hours work to do it.
- Sun, 18 Mar 2018, 1:45 AMThank you for your quick reply. Up to the moment of the release of the next version, we will split the checklists. We are using a lot your plugin (classroams and workshops). Thank you again.
- Wed, 25 Apr 2018, 3:24 PMDear Davo, thanks for developing such a great plugin. Moreover, I would like to ask whether it is possible to use the checklist plugin in the reverse order, i.e. the student should write the checklist item(s) and the teacher will approve those items. Yours sincerely, Kharis
- Wed, 25 Apr 2018, 4:27 PMAkhmad - no that is not supported.
- Wed, 8 Aug 2018, 4:02 AMHello to everybody, When the teacher completes the progress of a student, the values appear in the list YES NO, is it possible to change those values?
for example: pending, accomplished. Thanks in advanced!!!

Some people are asking me why I am writing these posts, why are you blogging?
Well, for many years I have my chair time and it has been one of the most wonderful time with God. I get my prayer journal, my notebook, a pen or multiple pens :), and my bible and for 20 minutes I read, pray and meditate on the bible.
When I was reading my old notebooks I realised that I should put them on a digital file and many times re-reading those notes I got so inspired again in how God works in my life; how I changed, how my faith has grown. I thought that maybe have friends who can be inspired, encouraged, challenged when read these texts, and so I did this blog.
Why those posts are short and straight to the bible text? Because I value your time and your commitments.
My prayer is that as you ready this blog you be blessed, inspired and transformed by the power of the word of God.
Have a wonderful day,

An updated version of this story is now available at MassLive.
CHICOPEE -- A police officer shot and seriously injured Monday afternoon during a special weapons and tactics training exercise just outside Westover Air Reserve Base is in good condition at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, acting Chief Thomas Charette said.
Charette declined to elaborate on the shooting Tuesday morning and would not release the injured officer's name at the request of his family.
This afternoon he released a short statement saying the accident happened at 2 p.m. during a Tactical Unit Training exercise.
"As a result of the accident the officer received a gunshot wound to the side of his face," he said in writing.
Hampden District Attorney Mark G. Mastroianni said Monday the shooting is being investigated by Chicopee and state police. He said it is standard procedure in such a shooting for him to ask the state police ballistics and reconstruction teams to be called to assist.
Mayor Michael Bissonnette could not be immediately reached for comment. He wrote on his Facebook page, however, that the injuries were "accidental and non-life-threatening."
Bissonnette thanked Chicopee police and Chicopee Fire Department emergency medical personnel "for their quick work in getting him to (the) emergency room."
The accident occurred during an exercise being held at long-vacant homes off James Street outside Westover Air Reserve Base.
The housing complex, which is made up of mostly duplexes and four-apartment units, was given to the city by the U.S. Navy about two years ago. It has remained vacant and many roads leading to the complex have been closed to traffic.
Charette did not say what type of weapons or ammunition were used in the training exercise.
The state Municipal Police Training Committee, which trains officers for town, city and college police forces, follows a strict protocol in training exercises that bans any use of live ammunition or weapons that can fire, said Terrel Harris, spokesman for the committee.
"There are very strigent standards...Live weapons are only allowed on firearms ranges. In senairo situations students and instructors are prohibited of having weapons of capable of firing a bullet," he said.
Typically the training committee uses mock weapons that are color coded so police know they are not real, Harris said.

Following news reports that at least 12 detainees previously held at the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center have been implicated in attacks on and in the deaths of American citizens, Rep. Ron DeSantis (FL-06), a Naval Reserve Officer who served at the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center during his active duty service, responded:
"We have known that large numbers of released detainees return to the terrorism and the admission by the Obama administration that at least six Americans have been killed at the hands of released detainees starkly demonstrates the danger of putting terrorists back into circulation. These numbers almost assuredly do not include American deaths that occurred at the hands of units commanded by released detainees, such as Mullah Zakir. Nor do the numbers include the death and destruction that released detainees have visited upon the local civilian populations. The bottom line is that, by releasing unrepentant terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, the Obama administration is contributing to the security threats that U.S. personnel and our allies face on a daily basis."
DeSantis and Sen. Tom Cotton (AR) previously introduced the Guantanamo Bay Recidivism Prevention Act which would prohibit foreign assistance if a country received a detainee from the Detention Facility at Guantanamo Bay on or after February 1, 2015, and the detainee subsequently appeared on the administration's detainee recidivist report (as defined by Section 319 of Public Law 111 – 32).

From bestselling mystery author Stephanie Caffrey comes Sin City's most unlikely detective... When a heartthrob lounge singer gets passed over for a big promotion, who does he call for help? Raven McShane, the most unconventional detective in Las Vegas. When Raven isn't working at her gentlemen's club, she's stirring up a hornet's nest of trouble as a private detective, but this time she might be in over her head. When her investigation turns bloody, she enlists outside muscle (who just happen to be drop-dead sexy) to help her navigate Nevada's seamy underside and help her client beat a murder charge. Intrigue, betrayal, and colossally bad luck challenge Raven's spirits, but she charges ahead with her chin up and her heels poised to do maximum damage.

Aretha Franklin Dies
Bill O'Reilly: 'Whitney Houston Wanted to Kill Herself'
Bill O'Reilly offered a harsh rejoinder to Whitney Houston's mourners Monday when he suggested that the late singer's drug use was evidence of suicidal tendencies. Speaking on "The O'Reilly Factor," the conservative pundit criticized Houston's self-destructive impulses, saying, "Whitney Houston wanted to kill herself."
O'Reilly regularly courts controversy during the "Reality Check" segment of his show, instructing his viewers about subjects such as birth control and politics. During a segment in which he dismantled Tony Bennett's suggestion that drugs be legalized in the wake of Houston's passing, observing that only legal, prescription medication was reportedly found at the scene of the singer death, he argued that she is merely the latest in a long line of entertainers who engage in self-destructive behavior.
"Nobody takes drugs for that long if they want to stay on the planet," O'Reilly said. "She follows in the footsteps of Elvis [Presley], Janis Joplin, Michael Jackson, and scores of other entertainment figures. The hard truth is that some people will always want to destroy themselves, and there's nothing society can do about it."
Continuing his harangue of Houston's behavior, he condemned her physician and others around her, saying that "they had to know that she was a drug addict." In an attempt to bring the segment back on track, refocusing on Bennett's statements, he then went on to highlight the statistic that an estimated 75 percent of all child abuse is caused by adults who are substance abusers.

A cool October
a not so cold night,
yet the chills ran deep,
a night filled with fright.
Bludgeon was there,
A date with dementia
and Gorgach Urchin
Did they not getcha?
Master of the barn
The butcher bloodshed,
he took what he needed
and left the rest dead.
Then entered the clowns
Their jokes were lethal.
Those comics of doom
Became pure evil.
The cemetery's path
a tormented lane,
Where all still lived
and screams were in vain
Then in the Hollow,
Deep in Misery's mine.
Stayed true to the task
Yet you had no spine?
For the timbers did creek
and boulders did crash,
First breathing dust
then the fire and ash.
And what became
of an old sawmill,
When rage took o'er
It was time to kill.
The hotel stood tall
in the town Weepingville,
where once lived many
It is now quite still.
Yet Some have noted
on nightly occasion,
the deceased still roam
with no population.
Then as you live.
Then as you die.
The country morgue,
It's your final goodbye
This sleeping little farm
has turned in for the night.
Yet spirits still dwell
where there is no light.
So my friend, I say
too speak quietly.
If presence be known
pain comes severely.
For within this darkness
the dread still burned.
In Two thousand and ten
The terror returned.
is an alert! A Zombie Alert. Everything is coming
alive and Everything is coming DEAD!
Toxic! New for 2017!
Many folks are unaware that a prison stood on the plains of Western Oklahoma in the early 1920's. A large prison at the time, but small by today's standards. Welcoming all the lowlifes, reprobates, and criminals that the state had to offer. The prison over time fell to disrepair, due to budget cuts and the war effort. By the early 40's, only one cell block remained. Amidst the crumbling prison Cellblock 9 remained to house the most evil of men.
Less and less convicts were sent there, but when they were, everyone new they had to be the worse of the worst. No one ever completed their sentence, escaped or walked out. Word about the small town of Tangier nearby was, "Once in ... Never Out". Even the workers were rarely seen after entering the gate in the tall stone wall. The locals didn't want the jobs ... everyone new those 4 little words, "Once in ... Never Out".
The fall of 1943, a new warden came to the prison near Tangier. "Came from back east somewhere" is the rumor the townsfolk heard. People still talk about it "Showed up in a big black car one day, an early cold October day". A lineman working outside recalled the gate opened and the big black car drove in. A big man stepped out, breathed deep and slowly surveyed the inside walls of the prison. The Warden faced the outside with deep dark hollow eyes and watched the gate as it made its final closing.
Now this is conjecture, but I suppose you will find some people that will tell you they have seen folks go in and out of there. But when you pin 'em down, they'll eventually tell you ... no one has ever seen the gate open. The last time anyone remembers, was the day the lineman working on the lines saw the big black car drive in.
Funny thing however, over the years as Cellblock 9 has become overgrown with weeds and the stone wall has begun to show some age, still looks in decent repair however. The 80 year old structure looks creepy as hell, but looks as it could still be in use ... and maybe it is. Towns people hear sounds from the prison from time to time. A faint scream, the clanking of metal, the closing of doors, a light illuminating a window, but no one ever goes to close.
Even from a distance you can still make out the sign. The metal rivets have failed and the letters in the old Cellblock 9 have come loose over the years ... the C turned practically upside down, and the wall behind it has cracked in a few places. That is perhaps why, over the last few years the townsfolk have understandably given the old cellblock its more fitting name.
This October be one of the first to enter. Closed for the last 50 years experience the unfortunate events that turned a prison cellblock into the absolute most horrific lockup ever. The evil still remains to haunt the hallways years after the last inmate perished. Ladies and Gentlemen, This October, Nightmare in the Country Scream Park grants you never before access to HELLBLOCK 9!

early morning session
Page 1 of 1 • Share •
early morning session
At the ISEE Europe Chapter call we had the idea that it might be useful to have an early morning session on how to translate research findings into local, national and international policies and to learn about how to campaign for an issue. As examples I would like to point out the efforts within the Europe Chapter to improve the funding situation for environmental health in H2020 and how to bring forward our position on policy issues such as the national emission ceiling directive (NECD) and the statements regarding air quality regulations. I think our actions as a society or Chapter could be more targeted and more people from our society would be interested in getting involved if we knew more about how to effectively campaign for these issues. Simon Birkett, a member of the EU Chapter executive council, volunteered to give a short introduction into this topic. I would therefore like to suggest this as an early morning session.

We have several red tailed hawks living nearby, and often see them soaring above our fields. I had a close encounter with one a few years ago, when I caught it eating one of our guinea fowl. My elation at seeing the hawk so close quickly turned to dismay when I realized that he was dining on one of our guineas!
But this year we have been visited by a "new to us" hawk. We had a close encounter earlier this summer when we were sitting on our back deck. There was a rustle of wings, and we looked up to see a small hawk chasing a dove. They both flew within 10 feet of us. They hawk missed his meal that time.
This morning I was in our living room reading, and saw something from the corner of my eye. I looked up and there was a hawk sitting in our small crabapple tree...just 20 feet from the window. I have checked our bird books...I think maybe it's a Sharp-Shinned Hawk, but I'm not sure. He was there long enough for me to grab my camera and take a few photos through the window. What a great way to start the day!

What a treat seeing it so close. Sorry about your bird becoming someone's meal.

He is a beauty and is quite taken with you, it appears. I hate to see any animal hurt, for sure. I realize that these birds have to eat (as do coyotes and foxes and wolves and all other carnivores), so I try hard not to hold it against them that they do what is natural for them to survive. I just do not want to see it!!

Your hawk is beautiful. I've recently discovered we have a Cooper's Hawk living nearby (who is fond of hunting the doves in our front yard). Nice to see some wild life left in the city.

hey, there has apparently been a virus going around that attacks graphics cards. im afraid that i have this virus because my graphics seem to be deterriating. every time i boot my computer i have to turn on aero effects and window monitoring for my computer to work properly. i have performed many scans and no online scan nor antivirus has detected it. i know a few people whose computer that have already fallen to this virus and they are now having to buy a new computer. i dont have money to buy another laptop.

It is possible that your graphics GPU is going down. Never heard of this virus though, but i would recommend doing a malware scan using: Malwarebytes. Keep doing virus scans every 2 days, same with malware scans.

Win 7 32 Home Premium, Win 7 64 Pro, Win 8.1, Win 10
I can't verify if there is a virus that out there that attacks graphic cards, but it wouldn't surprise me. But the fact that it runs well in only Aero mode makes it sound more like a windows or graphics driver problem then a virus. Or a misconfiguration of sorts.
You could try the following:
Open the laptop and run the PC, make sure the cooling fan is working on the graphics card.
Try unplugging and re-inserting the card and see if this has any effect.
Verify that the drivers are up to date, for both windows and the graphics card. You may want to reinstall the graphic card drivers.
You can go to this page and d/l and run the symantec online scan, it's free, it will d/l a AV scan engine to your PC and run. Click on "Continue to Symantec Security Scan" and follow the directions. You must be running IE to use this service.

Pizza is one of the most popular dishes in the world. People of all ages right from kids to school students to teenagers and working people- all love it! Ever since its first serve, it has been welcomed by countries all over the world and the Europeans fondly refer to pizza as "the Queen" of the Mediterranean diet.
History of Pizza:
Pizza (in Latin means flatbread) was first made in Naples, Italy in 1889. Initially, it was made as round bread with basil, tomato sauce, and some cheese; the color combination of which resembled the Italian flag. They were first baked in ovens that were lit by burning woods. Some people feel that a similar kind of dish called Foccacia made in the Common Era may have lead to the idea of making pizza.
At a certain point, pizza became so popular that pizza makers took it up as a full time business. The first pizza shop named Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba still exists in Italy. Today, a majority of the pizza vendors in Italy feel that although there are several hundred varieties of pizza, the Marinara and Margherita are the best of all pizzas. Those vendors serve only these two types of pizzas that don't have too much topping. The Italian pizza believed to be the mother of all pizzas is made from San Marzano tomato and is baked in the oven at around 500 Celsius for about one and half minutes.
Over the years, the making of pizza has been extensively tried out with tons of toppings and flavors. Thus, pizza started becoming one of the best dishes and gradually made its way to the US. The first pizzeria was started by Gennaro Lombardi in Little Italy, Manhattan. It was actually a grocery store that started selling pizzas before becoming a full-fledged pizzeria. Vendors hawked this as a great opportunity to start their businesses and came up with a lot of flavors and offers for the customers. The free home delivery thing has made pizza a phone call away. It's very convenient for the customers to get their favorite pizza right at their door. Today there is a slew of branded pizzerias like Dominos pizza, Papa John's, Pizza hut etc. that deliver top quality pizza in extravagant flavors and variety.
Pizzas are made in hundreds of flavors with innumerous combinations of crusts, sauce, and toppings. Each country has its own unique touch of flavors and toppings. Some of the most popular types of pizzas are the Italian pizza, brick oven pizza, New York style, French bread pizza, grilled pizza, deep dish pizza, Greek pizza, Pan pizza, thick crust pizza, thin crust pizza, Sicilian pizza, stuffed crust pizza, and the white pizza. So that's about the history of pizzas. Let us shift our focus to the health aspects of it. Last week I was watching a cookery show in which the female cook was demonstrating the easiest ways to make a vegetarian pizza. I usually watch a lot of health and cookery shows on channels included in my Dish TV Packages.
All right, folks! Can't resist eating pizzas? Have people told you that pizza is not good for health? Don't worry. Given below are some of the health benefits of pizza:
Pizza predominantly consists of vegetables, cheese, and bread crust. The cheese used in pizza is rich in fats, proteins, sodium and calcium.
The Olive oil used in pizza helps to reduce unessential cholesterol and enriches the body with good cholesterol.
Tomato, one of the most common ingredients of pizzas is rich in lycopene and is a powerful antioxidant by itself.
Basil used in certain flavors of pizzas is full-bodied with Vitamin K, and other essential oils.
Garlic another common topping on pizzas is loaded with manganese, Vitamin C, selenium, Vitamin B6, and is very good for digestion and gastric troubles.
Non vegetarian pizzas enriched with meat toppings are rich in proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins and are also a good source of sodium and other important minerals.
Thus each ingredient that goes into the making of pizza has several health benefits of its own. Moreover, studies reveal that pizza is a healthy source of diet that can prevent cancer and heart problems. So henceforth, you can enjoy the delicious flavors of pizza without any kind of hesitation.

Peters Endorsed By 11 Former Chamber of Commerce Chairs, Other Republican Leaders
In addition, more than 60 other local high-profile Republican and independent business leaders are supporting Peters, according to a list unveiled today by the Scott Peters for Congress campaign.
Of the 11 former Regional Chamber chairs supporting Peters, all but Ted Roth are registered Republicans. Last month Peters also earned the endorsement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which wrote, "We believe your re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives will help produce sustained economic growth, help create jobs, and get our country back on track."
Phil Blair and Mel Katz, both former chairs of the local chamber, recently called Peters "a dedicated, principled public servant" and "a moderate who understands all points of view."
"As former chairmen of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, we've worked with and known Rep. Scott Peters for over a decade," Blair and Katz wrote in a recent letter to U-T San Diego. "He's an articulate, smart, effective advocate for jobs and quality of life, and we're fortunate to have him representing us in Congress."
The Peters campaign is also proud to announce today the endorsement of the immediate past Chair of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, Stath Karras, a Republican, who is backing Peters because he is the better candidate for job creation.
"My personal philosophy is to support candidates (regardless of party affiliation) that tend to be pragmatic, moderate and understand and focus on the importance of the community and economic activity," Karras said. "I find Scott Peters to be an excellent example of this type of leader. I have appreciated his leadership in Congress look to support him for another term."
In addition to Katz, Blair and Roth, the other former San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce chairs endorsing Peters are Mike Niggli, Thomas Wornham, Ben Haddad, Nikki Clay, Doug Sawyer, Joseph Craver, Anne Evans and Stephen Cushman.

EYAL: Hemel Hempstead
Colchester Harriers made the trip to Hemel Hempstead for the 4th match of the EYAL, knowing they were up against 3 teams placed higher in the league, so expected strong competition .
The day started with some fine wins in the hammer event by Michael Everitt u17men, Philippa Davenall U17women, straight from winning a Bronze medal at English Schools and new comer David Ignioba U15boys throwing an amazing 32.27, which he followed up later on with a club record in shot of 12.52! Michael also went on to produce pbs in shot and discus later in the day.
Hurdlers were first on the track with Niamh Black u13 70mh, Katie Rice U15 80mh and Charlotte Hoskyn u15 80mh (1st) all achieving pbs and starting the track events off positively.
Athletes continued to produce Pbs in all areas of track and field. Those producing fine runs in the 100m resulting in pb's were Charlie Dobson u17, Jake Young u17, Daniel Jones u15, Charlie Walder and Gareth Thrower U13 along with Madeline Claydon, Jessica Elmer, Eleanor Hopgood, Olivia Horn u13 girls and Megan Stevens u15, who went on to also achieve pbs in 200m and shot.
Over 800m Oscar Dawson u17 lead from the start with a fine win whilst, Marcus Holmes u15 boys, Hannah Watson u15 girls and Pippa Garbutt (1st) U15 girls ran pb's with Pippa and Hannah going on to jump pb's in high jump, along with U15 Lauren Strutt and U13 Eleanor Hopgood. The boys not wanting to be out done in the high jump had pb's jumped by U13 Ziggy Lambton, Harry Varela U17 and Jake Young U17. Jake continued his fine form with a pb in 200m and a win for the u17m 4×100 relay at the end of the day.
The longer distance 1500m saw Max Caulfield u15, Archie French u15and Maisie Waterson u13 run pbs too.
The changing weather didn't hamper the pb's continuing in any of the field or track events, as Matthew Wisdom u13 had pbs in long jump and javelin and Finlay Mac Brayne u13 200m.
Abigail Read u17 Jasmine West U15 and Aliyah Soames u13 had pb's in Javelin, with Aliyah breaking her previous club record as well as a pb in shot. Hollie Speller u15 had a pb in shot, and discus saw Yasmin Othman u17 ,Lauren Strutt u15 and Maisie Waterson u13, Mufaro Shava u15 boy produce bests with Phillippa Davenall u17 gaining a valuable 1st in this event.
Max Caulfield u15 and Ziggy Lambton u13 also threw pb's in Javelin.
As the sun shone for the final sprints of the day, 200m pb's were achieved by Mufaro Shava u15, Madeline Claydon u13, Olivia Horn u13, Jessica Elmer u13.
Isabelle Minder jumped to a pb in long jump whilst Courtney Bland produced SB in long and triple jump.
The team finished a very creditable 4th overall for the day having shown true team spirit.
With one last push this season the club can break through the 600pts barrier. Last season we were pleased when we broke the 500 points barrier a feat we have not failed to achieve in the four fixtures this year.

The Urological Comprehensive Care Program (UCCP) units at UPMC Shadyside offer surgical urology patients in Pittsburgh the first "acuity-adaptable bed" program in urologic care in the United States.
Acuity-adaptable programs combine advanced technology with focused nursing care. This new way of practicing medicine gives patients a continuous experience by providing state-of-the-art clinical care in a single location. It brings care to the patient's bedside instead of moving patients to care sites throughout the hospital.
By reducing the number of transfers to basically just a trip to the operating room and back, the program offers a few benefits:
Care is overseen by a specially trained nurse coordinator to ensure continuing care.
The rooms in this unit are comfortable and home-like. Patients stay in the same room for all pre- and post-operative care, and they are monitored by the same nurse throughout their stay, from a phone call the night before surgery, to admission, recovery, and discharge.
Getting up and moving as soon as possible after surgery helps speed the recovery process. The UCCP's fitness room, complete with treadmills, means patients do not have to walk in public hallways to get their exercise.
The unit also offers computer and Internet access to patients, so that they can keep in touch with their families, friends, and business colleagues.
The UCCP is led by Joel Nelson, MD, chairman of Urology at UPMC, who is nationally recognized for both his clinical work and research.
For patient referral or consultations, contact the Department of Urology at 412-692-4100.

Orson Scott Card Quotes About RunningQuotes about: Running
I'm a Democrat voting for Bush, even though on economic issues, from taxes to government regulation, I'm not happy with the Republican positions. But we're at war, and electing a president who is committed to losing it seems to be the most foolish thing we could do. Personal honesty is also important to me, and Kerry is obviously not in the running on that point, given that he can't keep track of the facts in his own autobiography.
The problem with elections is that anybody who wants an office badly enough to run for it probably shouldn't have it. And anybody who does not want an office badly enough to run for it probably shouldn't have it, either. Government office should be received like a child's Christmas present, with surprise and delight. Instead it is usually received like a diploma, an anticlimax that never seems worth the struggle to earn it.
Do you know why Satan is so angry all the time? Because whenever he works a particularly clever bit of mischief God uses it to serve his own Rigteous purposes." "So God uses wicked people as his tools?" "God gives us the freedom to to do great evil, if we choose, then He uses his own freedom to create goodness out of that evil, for that is what He chooses." "So, in the long run, God always wins?" "Yes, in the short run though it can be uncomfortable.
Like running the hurdles. Work so hard, jump over every one, fast, high enough but no higher, because you can't afford to hang in the air. And then, when the race is over, you're dripping with sweat, either they beat you or you beat them ... and then a couple of guys come out and move the hurdles out of the way. Turns out they were nothing. All that work to jump over them, but now they're gone.
Ender stepped under the water and rinsed himself, took the sweat of combat and let it run down the drain. All gone, except they recycled it and we'll be drinking Bonzo's blood water in the morning. All the life gone out of it, but his blood just the same, his blood and my sweat, washed down in their stupidity or cruelty or whatever it was that made them let it happen.

June 21, 2010 — "He doesn't like me because I'm a woman," my friend said recently about her boss. "And he hates me because I'm a lesbian."
My friend is a "double outsider"—she battles two sets of stereotypes every day. One is based on gender, the other on sexual orientation.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people represent up to 21% of the general population while up to 70% of straight people know someone who is LGBT. But despite recent milestones in acceptance, LGBT employees still suffer from subtle and outright discrimination at work.
Many argue that broad federal legislation is the solution. Currently, there are 29 states in the U.S. where it is still legal to discriminate based on sexual orientation and 38 states that permit discrimination based on gender identity or expression. My friend lives in one of them.
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is a proposed US law that would prohibit discrimination against workers on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity for civilian nonreligious employers with 15 or more employees.
Right now, the Act appears stalled. But even if it does pass this year, I think laws only go so far.
In Canada, laws ensure sexual orientation is not grounds for dismissal from a job. But our 2009 study, Building LGBT-Inclusive Workplaces, revealed discrimination in Canadian workplaces against LGBT employees—especially LGBT women.
Female LGBTs reported less friendly workplaces than LGBT men. For example, 70 percent of LGBT women reported that their manager evaluated performance fairly versus 80 percent of LGBT men. And 76 percent of LGBT women, versus 85 percent of all others, reported that their manager was comfortable interacting with them.
Unsurprisingly, LGBT women were "out" to only 50 percent of their workgroup—versus 72 percent of LGBT men.
"Double outsider" status prevents LGBT women from being who they want to be at work. But when people bring their whole self to work—and do not expend energy on hiding who they are—everyone wins.
LGBT employees working in inclusive environments indicated better workplace relationships, increased career satisfaction and greater commitment to the job. In the long run, this can translate to greater productivity and less staff turnover.
So don't wait for laws to end discrimination. Legislate for yourself—lead by action.

Pilots: McG, Bruckheimer Land at ABC
Nine years after passing on "CSI," ABC has brought Jerry Bruckheimer back into the fold. The A-list producer is behind one of the network's three latest pilot orders, all of them dramas. The Bruckheimer project is a crime drama about a group of amateur sleuths who concentrate on cases where the victims haven't been identified. Mark Friedman wrote the script and will executive produce with Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman and "CSI" veteran Danny Cannon, who's set to direct. The other ABC projects come from producers McG ("Supernatural," "Chuck") and Mark Gordon ("Grey's Anatomy"), the showbiz trade papers say. The McG project is called "Limelight" and follows the lives of students and faculty at a performing arts school (think "Fame"). K.J. Steinberg ("The Nine," "Gossip Girl") is writing the script, and David Semel ("Heroes") will direct. All three will exec produce, along with Leonard Goldberg. Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes, on whose life the story is loosely based, will be a consulting producer. The pilot order is the second shot for the show at ABC. The network originally picked up a script from writer David S. Rosenthal in fall 2007, but it was derailed by the writers strike. Steinberg came aboard when the show went back into development. Gordon's project is called "Empire State" and is a Romeo-and-Juliet story set in New York. The story centers on two families -- one working-class, one wealthy -- who come into conflict when a romance sparks between the son of one and the daughter of the other. Michael Seitzman ("North Country") and Jeff Reiner conceived the story, and Seitzman is writing the pilot. He'll also exec produce with Gordon and Deborah Spera.

Even New Jerseyans can't stand living in New Jersey, according to a new poll that said nearly half of adults residing in the Garden State want to pull up stakes.
The Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey Poll, released Wednesday, found 49 percent of those polled would rather live somewhere else.
New Jersey already is suffering from an image problem and bears the brunt of jokes because of its corruption and pollution problems. But 58 percent of those residents polled said the heavy financial burden of just living in the state is no laughing matter, and that's why they want to leave.
Poll participants cited high property taxes (28 percent), the cost of living (19 percent), state taxes (5 percent) and housing costs (6 percent) as the main reasons they want out. The poll also found that 51 percent of those who expressed a desire to leave planned to do so, with adults under the age of 50 making between $50,000 and $100,000 the most likely to flee.
"If you have the ability to leave and you don't see any possibility for change with the way the state is run — and that's the No. 1 issue here — you have to vote with your feet," said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.
The study did not surprise New Jersey's politicians.
"The high cost of living in the Northeast is not news," Brendan Gilfillan, a spokesman for Gov. Jon Corzine, said in an e-mail statement. "But it is one of the reasons Gov. Corzine has worked tirelessly to help poor and working-class residents of New Jersey by implementing the Earned Income Tax Credit, expanding S-CHIP and increasing — and sustaining — property tax relief."
Gilfillan said Corzine also had cut costs by reducing the government workforce, though he noted people would continue to leave New Jersey as baby boomers retired.
"Demographics are only going to accentuate this trend, as the bulk of these folks have yet to leave the workforce," Gilfillan said.
But Republican Assemblyman Richard Merkt said it was the fiscal policies of the governor and legislature that were to blame for the exodus.
"It's no wonder that New Jersey is a national joke," he said. "We've done it to ourselves with these just positively irresponsible policies."
The Monmouth University poll, which was conducted over the telephone with 801 New Jersey adults from Sept. 27 to Sept. 30, did not predict a mass exodus, at least not yet. Of those residents polled, 44 percent would like to stay and 7 percent were not sure. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
But a Rutgers University report released last week found that New Jersey, with nearly 9 million people, is experiencing a population loss and said the number of residents who had left the state more than tripled from 2002 to 2006, with 231,565 people moving elsewhere.
The Rutgers Regional Report, which examined U.S. Census Bureau and Internal Revenue Service data, noted 72,547 people left in 2006, ranking New Jersey fourth — behind California, Louisiana and New York — among states with the highest population losses in the nation.
High prices aren't the only thing driving people out. New Jersey ex-pats headed in droves to warmer climates, with 124,584 moving to Florida and 29,803 moving to North Carolina. Others (42,459) moved to neighboring Pennsylvania.
That migration depleted the state's tax coffers of an estimated $10 billion in personal income and $680 million in sales tax, according to the Rutgers report.
"This really illustrates among a lot of other things that the public has thrown up their hands," Murray said. "They don't feel that there's anything they can do that would change the situation."
And unless there's change, Merkt said, the flight will continue.
"One can only hope that the pendulum will stop swinging this way and start moving back the other way 'cause if it doesn't, you're going to see 9 million people suffer," he said.
"Or you're going to see the last person over the Delaware turn out the lights."

Use of clean, carbon-neutral hydrogen on the horizonNovember 14th, 2007 - 10:39 am ICT by admin
"The energy focus is currently on ethanol as a fuel, but economical ethanol from cellulose is 10 years down the road," claimed Bruce E. Logan, the Kappe professor of environmental engineering.
Logan and Shaoan Cheng, a research associate, suggest a method based on microbial fuel cells to convert cellulose and other biodegradable organic materials directly into hydrogen.
The researchers used naturally occurring bacteria in a microbial electrolysis cell with acetic acid - the acid found in vinegar.
Acetic acid is also the predominant acid produced by fermentation of glucose or cellulose. The anode was granulated graphite, the cathode was carbon with a platinum catalyst, and they used an off-the-shelf anion exchange membrane. The bacteria consume the acetic acid and release electrons and protons creating up to 0.3 volts. When more than 0.2 volts are added from an outside source, hydrogen gas bubbles up from the liquid.
"This process produces 288 percent more energy in hydrogen than the electrical energy that is added to the process," says Logan.
For those who think that a hydrogen economy is far in the future, Logan suggests that hydrogen produced from cellulose and other renewable organic materials could be blended with natural gas for use in natural gas vehicles.
"We drive a lot of vehicles on natural gas already. Natural gas is essentially methane," says Logan. "Methane burns fairly cleanly, but if we add hydrogen, it burns even more cleanly and works fine in existing natural gas combustion vehicles."
The study appears in today's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences online.
The researchers have filed for a patent on this work. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. and the National Science Foundation supported this work. (ANI)
