La Ribera d'Ebre is one of the four comarques that make up the area known as the Terres de l'Ebre in the south of Catalunya. The area as a whole takes its name from the Ebre (in English, Ebro) river, which enters La Ribera—the most northerly of the four counties —from the west and forms its backbone. The comarca boasts stunning scenery and many high points, including the Serra de Berrús, Rovelló and the Serra de Cardó. These mountain ranges offer great vantage points for panoramic views over the river, valleys and surrounding forests that characterise the landscape.
The Ebro river has always been a valuable resource and attracted settlers across the ages from pre-historic, Iberian and Romans times to the Moorish era and the Middle Ages. The river has also been witness to great tragedies in more recent times, most notably during the Spanish Civil War when many lives were lost in the Battle of the Ebro.
Today, in some towns and villages traditional ways of life are maintained; people still make their living working out on the land in the orchards and almond and olive groves, weaving baskets from reeds and palms or crafting ceramics by hand. But the region has always changed with the times and now power stations and hydroelectric and electrochemical industries provide many with a source of income.
What to see
The region's most famous landmark is the magnificent Castell de Miravet, which stands on a rocky hilltop in the south, above the west bank of the Ebro. The castle is Moorish in origin and dates back to the ninth century; in the 12th century, it became the property of the Knights Templar who extended the original construction and turned it into a regional centre of command. The Templars were ousted after a siege (1307-1308) and the castle then belonged to another military order, the Hospitalers. Behind the outer thick walls, there are a number of different areas which can be visited including the armoury, rectangular towers and the Romanesque church of Sant Martí.
The town of Miravet, just below the castle, also has Moorish roots and a few sites worth a visit: the old stone houses lining the narrow streets, the Aljama, which is the former Judeo-Muslim quarter, and the old Baroque church are among the most representative. Miravet has a long tradition as a potters' town, particularly around the Raval dels Canterers where pitchers, jugs and bowls are still produced by hand. From Miravet, the easiest way to travel to the other side of the Ebro is by taking the ferry across the river. Once on the eastern side and heading away from the river is another town that is worth visiting, Tivissa.
On the way there, there's an interesting archaeological site that lies within its municipality, the Iberian settlement of Castellet de Banyoles. The settlement dates back to the fourth century BCE and is situated on a plateau overlooking the river. Three areas have been excavated there, including pentagonal towers at the entrance and living spaces. In the early 20th century, a number of artefacts were discovered, among them silver jewellery, coins and a set of ceremonial vessels.
The town of Tivissa itself is further east and has a lovely historic centre with some remains of the original medieval walls, the old entrance Portal de l'Era and winding streets. Among the buildings of interest is the town's church, the Església de Sant Jaume, which was built between the 16th and 17th centuries. The church is eclectic in style, combining a Gothic interior with a Renaissance and Baroque exterior and because of this, is actually considered to be two churches.
Heading north leads to Móra la Nova where an arched bridge crosses the Ebro to the regional capital Móra d'Ebre. In the Middle Ages, like other towns in the region, Móra d'Ebre was home to many Moriscos (Muslims converted to Christianity) as well as Christians and Jews; places to visit include the partially-ruined Moorish castle and the 19th-century Convent de les Mínimes.
What to do
One of the best ways to explore the county is by following the hiking routes that cross many areas of natural beauty. One of the most challenging itineraries is the Ruta del Teix, which runs for almost 18 kilometres along the PR-80 in the south of the comarca; ancient yew trees, a Bronze Age settlement, a spring, caves and woodlands are among the many sights to see along the way. Other themed routes include the Camí de Sirga (Tow Path), which follows in the footsteps of the men who used to tow their loads along the river from its banks; the route takes in some charming traditional villages, as well as historic monuments. An area which is good for both walking and cycling is the Reserva Natural de Sebes, on the northern stretch of the Ebro, which is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna and a very tranquil setting.
There are also some good areas for climbers, such as on the limestone peaks above Tivissa where there are around 200 routes (average grade six) for classical rock climbing. Complete beginners may like to try climbing on a 'via ferrata', where cables and steps have been built into the rocks for added security. Water sports like canoeing, kayaking and sailing can be enjoyed on parts of the Ebro as well as in some of the reservoirs; there are sailing clubs at various points along the river. The Pantà de Riba-roja (Riba-roja reservoir) in the very north—where the church bell tower of the sunken town of Fayón protrudes eerily from the water —is also a popular spot for fishing.
What to eat
Savoury dishes range from simple grilled or roast meats (sausages, lamb and rabbit) and Catalan classics like escalivada to more inventive creations like clotxa, a piece of hollowed out bread stuffed with sardines and roasted vegetables.
The region is probably best known for its soft fruits like cherries and peaches, as well as plentiful cakes and pastries, made with locally grown produce, such as cherry cake, fig bread, the almond cakes capsetes and heavier offerings like the sweet pasties, pastissets filled with 'cabello de ángel' and flavoured with aniseed. Wine, fortified wine and olive oil are also part of the local output.
When to go
Religious events in the annual calendar include a number of romiatges (pilgrimages) and aplecs (gatherings) at hermitages, accompanied by traditional dances like jotas and communal feasts; those held at the hermitage of El Remei just outside the northern town of Flix on Dilluns de Pasqua (Easter Monday, this year on April 13th) and the hermitage of Sant Jeroni on May 1st in the capital Móra d'Ebre, are among the most well known. Miravet is hosting a few festivals in the coming months; in June there's the Festa de la Cirera (Cherry Festival) and in August, El setge de Miravet, a theatrical re-enactment of the siege of 1307-1308 at the castle, as well as the Festa dels Terrissers (Potter's Festival).
Finally, another summer event that's worthy of a mention is the Móra Morisca which takes place in Móra d'Ebre in July; the town goes back to its Moorish roots with dancing and music, and Middle Eastern cuisine provides the gastronomic element for the festivities.

Again, I think he'll be a good player and I wouldn't necessarily be that upset with the pick, but more underwhelmed.
I just think this team has to take a bigger swing than Bridges in this draft because the Bulls are pretty far off IMO.
We'll see what happens, but I think there's a strong chance a higher ceiling option is available at 7.

1.) they are "experts" and get paid a good amount of money to watch and talk about the game all day long lol. Also most actually played the game at a very high level. We are just people who watch games after work and have thoughts.
2.) I watched decent amount of games for Nova and there are a tons of games or moments where you go wow hes a lottery pick or you dont even notice him on the floor at all.... Ive seen him try to dribble and its really really bad which is not good at the next level (bulls need more than a spot up shooter). He has an NBA ready body and solid defender of average colleges kid so far in a decent but not elite conference. Dont take it as hes not good im not saying that at all but lets pump the brakes for a second. I am saying for this bulls team and this moment in time I would rather take a bigger risk with someone who has a higher ceiling even if it means few more years of development... Those kids are younger than Mikal anyway. If the bulls were in the sixers spot at 7/8/9/10 then I would jump on bridges and be ecstatic because they have their stars already.

The pick would feel very safe and uninspired which is not what this past season was about. Bridges does not look like a top 7 player in this class in terms of ceiling or ability but he's "safe."
There's nothing wrong with that, either. But I'd much rather a riskier, higher upside pick like Bamba, MPJ, Sexton or Young.
I dont want an inspiring pick lmao! I want the right pick
Not understanding why people keep talking like Bridges has a limited ceiling? Drive and attitude play as much a role in becoming a star as physical attributes, Ayton has great "potential" but seems like Dwight Howard when it comes to intensity. I mentioned Kwahi and Jimmy as well earlier, and Bridges is way more highly touted than either of them were. It's a crap shoot anyway, Portland drafted Oden over Durant based on potential, Detroit got Milicic over Wade, Melo, and Bosh swinging for the fences instead of drafting more established players. There doesn't appear to be a Lebron or Durant in this draft, way above everyone else, we won't know for a couple of years who the best pick was. Not like Pax is consulting us anyway, he's going to draft who he drafts, no sense worrying about it, let's get ready to welcome whoever we get!

If i had to place bets
1) Bamba ends up in the top 5. I think his size athletism and wingspan will get somebody to fall in love with him. Plus if he gets to shooting like this in workouts its done
2) Trae Young will go at worst 6 to the magic. Though i could see a team like the cavs trying to jump up for him. I get some of the aprehensions people have about him but at the same time he will be a guy who wows in pre draft shoot arounds and will be taken bassed off his potential. Plus PG is a huge position to fill. Despite any complaints u may have averaging 27 and 9 is still inpressive. He has to cut down on turnovers but its arguable if he was forced to foece things due to total lack of tallent on that team. And honestly he is one of the few guys in the draft that can actually be called assertive.
Also when is the last time a guard did not go in the top 5-6???? With this being such a guard/wing oriented league don't be surprised to see him proped up.
The question becomes who gets pushed down. To me its either porter or Jackson. I think Ayton Docic and Bagley are cleaerly not going to make it to us. To me its less likely that Jackson does but at the same time u never know with porter. But honestly i would be happy woth either of those two
Im ready for Trae Young to come to Chicago

Trae Young leading us im not listening to these opinions. Trae Young and Lauri pick and roll .... FORGET DEFENSE WE WANT POINTS

Bahrain Crackdown: UN Experts Urge Full Respect for Rights of Sheikh Isa Qassim While Receiving Treatment
Local Editor
Four UN experts called on the Bahraini regime to ensure the human rights of the country's most senior Shia leader, 76 year old Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim, are fully respected.
"We welcome the news that the Government of Bahrain has finally allowed Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim to go to hospital to access the life-saving treatment he requires, but we are concerned that he remains under guard," the experts said in a joint statement.
The UN experts are Ms. Agnes Callamard, Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions; Mr. Ahmed Shaheed, Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief; Mr. Dainius Pûras, Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; and Mr. José Antonio Guevara Bermúdez, Chair-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.
"We urge the authorities in Bahrain to allow Mr. Qassim to receive visitors freely, to ensure that medical staff can treat him without pressure of any kind, and to ensure that he can continue to access the medicines he needs after leaving hospital," the experts said.
"As he recovers, he should be free to move around without restrictions and not be subject to de facto house arrest," they added.
Sheikh Qassim was stripped of his Bahraini citizenship in June 2016 and sentenced in May 2017 on allegations of money laundering related to khums, a Shia religious practice of tithing. He has been under de facto house arrest for over six months and suffers from a number of health conditions.
He suffered a life-threatening health emergency on 26 November 2017. It took three hours for a doctor to be granted permission to enter the house to examine him and a week to transfer him to hospital on 3 December, despite the doctor's call for urgent hospital care.
The Special Rapporteurs noted that respecting all people's rights without discrimination based on religion or belief helped prevent conflict and violence.
UN experts previously expressed deep concern at the "systematic harassment" of Bahrain's Shia population by the authorities and that Sheikh Qassim had his citizenship revoked without the opportunity to defend himself, rendering him at risk of deportation. In June 2017 they called on Bahrain to end its worsening human rights clampdown.

Welsh said he'd be happy to come back to us and do training opportunities to promote the new site.
· April 5 investigative reporting (FOI) panel at USC

Bellman proposed looking at whether reporters should stay out of politics on their personal time, in light of the resistance movement that has formed since the election with the Women's March, for example. The discussion would explore whether news organizations have hard rules and enforce them, and/or monitor social media posts or if any organizations explicitly make it clear that journalists can take part in these events. Mottek suggested SAG AFTRA in Mid-City as a possible venue.
c. Professional development event
Bluestein said we could push this event to the fall since we are focused on Ethics and Media Literacy events. Wax suggested we could do another video editing type event that Mike Fleeman hosted last year. Streifler mentioned an event that AAJA is doing an event on new to mid-career journalists.

"SIHEYU4N" is a cooperative action-puzzle game for 4 players of all ages and types, conceived as a multiplayer variation on classic falling-block mechanics.
Inspired by the architectural tradition of "siheyuan" (historical courtyards of Beijing, China), goal of the game is to place the blocks in the correspondent colored slots of the central grid but - as each player controls one area of the game and each area spawns blocks of one color - players have to pass and receive blocks to/from the other ones, talking, sharing a strategy and cooperating together in order to complete the full grid, in a short, abstract, playful reproduction of traditional Chinese sociality.
"SIHEYU4N" has been originally prototyped as a site-specific installation within the context of a+a architecture studio's "Branding Siheyuan" exhibition during Beijing Design Week 2015 (Baitasi ReMade Design HOP area, exhibition curated by architect Fabrizio Gurrado).
By setting 4 players around a shared playable "square" and making them interact with each other towards a collaborative goal, "SIHEYU4N" aims at abstractly and playfully reproduce the experience of social aggregation of the original "siheyuan" residence concept, where 4 families used to live together on the 4 sides of a common "quadrangle".
That was also our creative take on the curator's concept to approach the siheyuan issue not from a purely architectural point of view but from a broader cultural one, because - as the exhibition manifesto stated - "demolishing an idea is more difficult than simply demolishing a wall".
To add on the game's overall Chinese mood, the 4+1 colors of the blocks and their orientation are taken from Chinese traditional theory of the five elements (black as north, white as west, red as south, "grue" as east and yellow as center - yellow being the in-game special-colored block that has the power to erase previously-placed blocks in order to undo mistakes), while the blocks' decorations are inspired by patterns of Peking Opera masks so to ingrain a subtle "human touch" within the visual style.

Because of this, Zeus ordered the creation of Pandora, which intended misfortune on man in their own homes.
Mount Kaukasos
Mythology Family Tree
Prometheus is one of the 6 titans that came from Gaia and Uranus.
He stole fire from the gods and gave it to the men, when Zeus already withheld it from man.
Daily, an eagle would feast upon his ever-regenerating liver. Because Prometheus was immortal, he suffered without dying.
Saving Prometheus
After Prometheus stole fire he was chained to the peak of the mountain because of the "crime" he did.
The chains that bound him to the mountain were indestructible.
Generations later, Heracles came to Mount Kaukasos
Heracles then killed the eagle and released Prometheus from him from his torture
He didn't mean to offened Zeus and was only trying to help the people.
But what Prometheus did was wrong in Zeus's eyes and therefore, he was punished.
Heracles then shot and killed the eagle stopping the eagle
But he was then freed by Heracles and the torture ended for Permetheus
Known as the Titan god of forethought and crafty council.
His attempt of making the lives better for his creation came in conflict with Zeus.
He was also intrusted in making mankind out of clay

A common orgy activity. One participant hangs a bandana from his or her underwear to serve as a tail. The "Fox" is given a 5 minute head start, and whoever finds the fox and removes the tail is given the privilege of fucking the fox. Other participants may act as hounds or masters of the hunt.
At Lisa's orgy, she decided they should have a Sexy Fox Hunt. She tucked a handkerchief into her panties and took off. Sarah, the mistress of the hunt, caught her, removed her tail, and fucked her.

As a freelancer in creative video production, your reputation is everything to you. Without it, your business would certainly fail. Luckily, your reputation is generally built on two things that are already within your control, the quality of work that you produce, and your ability to meet deadlines. If you have ever struggled with the latter component, then this post is for you. Here are five tips for achieving a tight turn around on your video production projects.
1. Stay Focused on The Deadline
The first step in making sure you meet your client's deadlines is to simply care about your performance in completing work under deadline. Once your deadline is a priority, you will be more likely to make a serious effort to meet them. To make sure you meet your deadlines, consider missing one a cardinal sin. After you have established this habit, the rest is just a matter of logistics.
2. Keep a Running List of Projects & Deadlines
One way to make sure you never miss a stated project end date is to keep a list or spreadsheet of all your current projects, their status to date, and their expected deadline. Depending on your organization skills, you can even color coordinate this list to show what stage of development each project is currently in. Alternatively, this could be an online list or spreadsheet, or just a list on paper. The tool you use does not matter, so long as you are keeping track.
3. Communicate Clearly
One reason many freelancers lapse on their deadlines is that they do not communicate their expectations clearly with the client. When the deadline is fuzzy, you will have a much harder time reaching it. Instead, be clear in setting your deadline and explaining your process. If the client fails to mention a deadline, do not forget to ask for one.
4. Give Yourself a Cushion
Yet another way to make sure you are completing and submitting your work on time is to build in a cushion. Essentially this means you give yourself a deadline that is a few days earlier than the one the client stated. This way, should anything go awry, you still have a few days to tie up loose ends. To do this, break your project down into smaller pieces, and estimate how long each piece will take, giving yourself about 15% more time than you think it will realistically take. This way, you can accommodate any delays, or finish early to the delight of your clients.
5. Have a Clear Outcome
Lastly, you and your client should agree on what exactly the end deliverable will be. This way there are no disagreements about what you are supposed to have accomplished when. When you turn in a project the client did not ask for, you will have to go back and do extra work to correct the mistake, necessitating more time spent on the project.

Annual Update From Target Health Inc.
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
"Expect More – Not The Biggest, Just The Best"
Several times a year we are asked what Target Health does and what are our accomplishments. The following summarizes what has happened over the last 12 months. We would like to thank the loyalty and feedback of our over 2,600 readers, some of whom have been receiving ON TARGET since 1995, when we started as a weekly Fax.
We are very pleased to announce that there are now over 20 products with FDA marketing approval including 14 products (NDA-3; PMA-9; BLA-1; and 510k-1) that used Target e*CRF for their pivotal trials. There is one NDA in dermatology and one PMA in review which we expect approval in 2009. An MAA in Womens Health was submitted in May 2008. Of the 25 drug products that were approved by FDA in 2008, two used Target e*CRF for their Phase II and Phase III trials.
In 2008, Target Health celebrated its 15th year as a New York City-based, full-service e*CRO with full-time staff dedicated to all aspects of Drug and Device Regulatory Affairs, Clinical Research, Biostatistics, Data Management, Internet-based clinical trials (Target e*CRF), Medical Writing, and Strategic Planning. We also provide fully validated software for clinical trials.
A. Regulatory Affairs
1. Regulatory Representation
Represent over 30 companies at FDA from all over the world including Australia, England, France, Germany, Israel, Korea, Switzerland and the US.
2. NDA Degarelix (Ferring Pharmaceuticals)
December 2008: Ferring Pharmaceuticals received both FDA and EMEA approvals for the marketing of its prostate cancer treatment, degarelix, a new GnRH receptor blocker intended for patients in whom androgen deprivation is warranted. Target e*CRF was used for all Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies. In addition to degarelix, Target Health has collaborated with Ferring on 3 marketed NDAs for products sold in the US, Canada and Europe. Two of these programs also used Target e*CRF.
3. BLA Arcalyst (Regeneron Pharmaceuticals)
February 2008: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, received FDA marketing approval for Arcalyst (rilonacept) Injection for Subcutaneous Use, an interleukin-1 blocker, for the treatment of Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS), including Familial Cold Auto-inflammatory Syndrome (FCAS) and Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS) in adults and children 12 and older. Target e*CRF was used for all Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies.
4. 510(k) PD2i Analyzer Vicor Technologies Inc.
December 2008: The Vicor PD2i Analyzer is a device for measuring heart rate variability (HRV). The device can use any ECG acquisition System that can digitize raw signals, in order to perform proprietary calculations from HRV and then display the results utilizing a display unit. The objective of the PD2i Algorithm is to make the PD2i Correlation Integrals (CIs) from the input data, and then find the accepted and convergent slopes of the linear scaling regions for each embedding dimension (i.e., the PD2i values).
5. FDA Inspection of Target Health
In May 2008, FDA completed a 4 day, unannounced though not unexpected, inspection of Target Health for an NDA under review. For this program Target Health performed all of the clinical and regulatory strategic planning, toxicology, regulatory, study designs, monitoring of the clinical trials (Phase 1, 2 and 3), data management, including Target e*CRF (EDC), statistics, medical writing and preparation of the NDA. There were 2 pivotal trials and a rescue protocol for treatment failures. The FDA audit also included a detailed review of Target e*CRF and data management. The outcome of the inspection was that from evaluation of the establishment inspection report and the documents submitted with that report, we conclude that you adhered to the applicable statutory requirements and FDA regulations governing the monitoring practices of clinical investigations and the protection of human subjects.
6. FDA Approvables 2008
PMA – SyntheMed, Inc.: SyntheMed received a recommendation for approval from the Circulatory System Devices Advisory Panel of the FDA of REPEL-CV Adhesion Barrier for use in pediatric patients (21 and younger) who are likely to need secondary open heart surgery. Target e*CRF was used for the pivotal trial and Target Health submitted the PMA as an eCopy, monitored the study and performed statistical analyses and medical writing.
NDA – Summers Laboratories Inc.: Target e*CRF was used for the Phase 2 and 3 trials for a product to treat head lice. Target Health represented the company with FDA, monitored the studies, performed statistical analyses and medical writing and prepared the NDA, which was submitted as an eCTD. Target Health was inspected by FDA with respect to this program and did not receive a Form FDA 483.
7. NDA Submission
Digestive Care Inc. submitted an NDA for Pancrecarb for the treatment of digestive systems associated with pancreatic insufficiency. Target Health prepared all submission data sets for the studies and the ISS, wrote the ISS and ISE and wrote most of the study reports submitted as part of the NDA.
8. INDs / CTAs
a. Cushings syndrome
b. HIV
c. Gaucher disease (Canada)
d. Ulcerative colitis (n=2)
9. Orphan Drug

12. Electronic Submissions
Target Health has expertise in preparation and publishing of electronic submissions and is an FDA approved vendor for electronic submissions through the Electronic Submissions Gateway (ESG).
B. Clinical Trial Software Packages
Target e*CRF: Target e*CRF has now been used in over 160 clinical trial since 1999. Largest trial to date is over 7,000 patients. There are now 14 Approved Products in the US that used Target e*CRF for their clinical trial programs (3-NDAs, 1-BLA, 9-PMAs and 1-510(k)). In the US, there are currently 1 NDA and 1 PMA under review, both of which have been designated "Approvable." In Europe, there is 1 MAA under review. This coming year, an NDA will be submitted in the area of Women's Health as well as an NDA for an Orphan Metabolic Disease. For the latter project, Target Health will also be preparing and submitting the eCTD.
Target Document: Target Document is a USER-FRIENDLY, INEXPENSIVE; HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED, Web-based, document management system that allows authorized users to view, download, and manage any document for their organization. – No More paper – Target Document features include: 1) 21 CFR Part 11 compliance; 2) routing for electronic signatures; 3) email alerts; 5) communication tools.
Target Encoder: Target Encoder is a USER-FRIENDLY, INEXPENSIVE; HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED, Web-based, coding system that allows authorized users to automatically code MedDRA and WHO Drug and other types of dictionaries. Target Encoder is fully integrated with Target e*CRF.
Target e*CTMS: Target e*CTMS is a USER-FRIENDLY, INEXPENSIVE; HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED, Web-based, clinical trial management system. A new clinical trial starts with identification of the sponsor and project name. Investigators, IRBs and users are maintained within the CTMS and can be easily assigned to a project. All staff within a clinical site can be identified with their title and contact information, as well as shipping addresses which could be different from the head office. As the site commits to participate in the clinical trial, a site number can be assigned. Once IRB approval is obtained, and all regulatory documents have been identified as received, an alert can be sent out via email to allow for drug shipment. Target e*CTMS provides many additional features such as: 1) Decision Logs, 2) Meeting Logs with uploading of the meeting minutes, 3) Questions and Answers, 4) status of Regulatory Submissions and Deliverables, and 5) Monitor Site Visit Tracking with document upload.
Target Batch Edit Checks: With Target e*CRF, batch edit checks are now integrated with the electronic query system within the study. Target e*CRF runs the edits and displays the results of those edits through a discrepancy review screen integrated with the query system.
Target e*Pharmacovigilance: Target e*CRF integrates EDC with a pharmacovigilance module by 1) allowing the principle investigators to enter a narrative, 2) allowing the medical monitor to enter a narrative and then have the EDC system generate an approved version of Form 3500A or CIOMS for regulatory submission with the ability to control the original and followup submissions.
Target eClinical Trial Record (Target e*CTR): Target e*CTR allows the clinical study sites to perform direct data entry into any EDC system, and at the same time generates a read-only electronic document, which can be designated as the primary source data (eSource). These data, maintained in a secure, read-only trusted 3rd party environment, are available to the clinical study sites, monitors and regulatory agencies in a human readable format.
C. Academic Collaborations
EDC vendor for 2 NIH grants in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at the Cleveland Clinic and University of Washington. EDC project completed in the newborn under an HHS grant at Stanford University. Collaboration with the Biotechnology Center at SUNY Stony Brook and UMDNJ (the Medical School of New Jersey).

Solve Availability and Drive Meaningful Use and its Economic Benefits
Today's communities are too often focussed only on the "what" of broadband and looking to build, how to build, or how to pay for it. It's building a broadband network and crossing fingers that "if we build it, they will come." The problem is, they aren't coming. Network after network is being built in the US and business uptake is best case slow, worst case woefully inadequate on a road to sustainability.
Recently Tennessee recognized the need to not only take a look at its inadequate service, but also develop strategies for driving meaningful use and capitalizing on the benefits by looking beyond availability.
By looking at broadband availability (broadband supply) and uncovering gaps in utilization, you can develop complete and powerful plans to improve meaningful use. We're looking beyond availability to the "demand-side" and utilization of broadband to help drive economic impacts.
Strategic Networks Group's holistic approach benchmarks both current and future demand at a granular level, coupled with examination of current and potential supply-side solutions.
SNG will provide your community with plans specifying needed broadband investments and best-practice strategies to grow awareness and maximize utilization.
Here's how SNG can help your community and your local decision makers understand where you stand with broadband and options for moving forward, driving economic development through the right investment(s).
Get started today!
To learn more about SNG's holistic approach and how it can help your community deliver more than just availability…
At the heart of this holistic approach is SNG's eSolutions Benchmarking – to learn more about this one-of-a-kind assessment that drives strategies proven to drive economic advancement, click here>>

Alternative Keyboards That Are Way Better Than QWERTY
Look at your keyboard. Do the letters in the top left corner spell Q W E R T Y? They probably do. Why is that? Simply put, QWERTY is the visually inspired name of the most popular keyboard arrangement in the world. Designed by Christopher Latham Sholes and sold to the E. Remington and Sons Co., QWERTY made its first appearance on typewriters in the 1870s.
Standardization and decades of worldwide muscle memory have made QWERTY second nature to most of us by now, but that doesn't mean that QWERTY keyboard alternatives are without merit. While other keyboard layouts are not as widely used as the QWERTY, different kinds of keyboards can be more natural for some people and provide specialized advantages for certain situations. Here are some cool alternative computer keyboards that offer a sometimes better set up than the old standby, QWERTY.

BRENTWOOD, CA --A 2-year-old girl who fell from the second-story window of a Brentwood home on Tuesday night was airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries, Contra Costa County Fire Protection District spokeswoman Emily Hopkins said.
Emergency responders arrived at the home in the 2200 block of Sand Creek Road after the girl's family called 911 at about 8:40 p.m.
Paramedics quickly called for a medical helicopter, which landed on a nearby soccer field, Hopkins said. The girl was taken to Children's Hospital in Oakland.

Barbour Thornproof Dressing
Barbour Thornproof Dressing
Barbour Thornproof Wax Dressing is known as the secret to making a Barbour waxed jacket last a lifetime. Made to the same original formula as that used in making Barbour fabrics, it's easy to apply (either to the whole garment or to the parts which get the most wear, such as elbows, creases and pocket edges), and helps preserve both the fabric and its waterproof qualities.
Perfect for re-waxing your Barbour jacket or coat, for which you will generally require one - two tins of wax depending on the condition of the garment.
Barbour Jackets, Coats and Accessories
Barbour is a truly British brand providing clothing suitable for country pursuits, country living and/ or for those who simply love the country.
John Barbour, a travelling draper, opened his first shop in 1894 in South Shields. Barbour soon achieved notoriety for his oilskin coats, designed to protect the growing community of sailors, fishermen and shipyard workers from the worst of the weather. The business grew over the next century, developing Barbour's classic wax jackets and expanding the range of coats and jackets to include other Barbour clothing, Barbour bags and Barbour ladies and children's wear.
Smart, practical and functional, perfectly describe the range of men's Barbour Jackets available from Elm of Burford. From the contemporary Barbour Commander Jacket, to the classic Beaufort jacket, you are sure to find the most suitable Barbour jacket for you. In addition, our classic collection of Barbour jackets for Ladies - such as the Belsay or Beadnell - alongside modern designs - such as the Badminton - ensure that there's a jacket for you within our collection.

A manipulative mother–in–law makes you enraged by her audacity to intrude into your personal zone, doesn't she?
You often fight and argue with your husband about her. You feel he does not understand the manipulative behavior of his mother.
He turns a deaf ear to your arguments about living separately, doesn't he?
Why does your mother-in-law scheme things against you?
It is because she feels you are a competitor to her monopoly of her son's love.
Strangely, your manipulative mother-in-law wants her daughter to have all the fun of an independent family. But she would never step aside from her son, to allow him have his rightful freedom. This is her topmost selfish attitude towards you.
Is your manipulative mother-in-law a bad person?
Not necessarily.
She might be a good person, but to you she is definitely a pain in the neck – more like a prickly thorn.
Unknown to her, your manipulative mother-in-law displays her mean intentions about you. She is capable of many more things. All she wants is your unhappiness.
1. She is emotionally insecure
She is jealous that her hitherto clinging son wants to spend more time with you.
She feels you are a competitor to her total control over the family.
She never cares to understand that her son has his own life to lead.
She will never let go her control over him.
2. She is a perpetual liar
She lies about you to your husband. She twists the innocuous words said by you to give it a negative meaning.
Your helpless husband questions you about it. You are furious that he believes his mother more than you.
She puts on an act before her son to show herself as a loving mother-in-law. But she reveals her calculative nature when he is not there.
3. She spies on you
Your daily activities is constantly under her spying eyes.
You can intuitively feel her watching you with resentment stored in her eyes.
When you catch her eyes, she pretends to smile at you. Your blood boils because you have seen through her meanness towards you.
4. She will never let of her son
She feels your husband is more affectionate towards you and ignores her.
So, she intrudes into the personal conversation you have with him. She gives unwanted comments so much so that you want to scream at her to stop.
She keeps advising you about the things her son likes as if you do not know about the personal wishes of your husband.
You are furious that she intrudes right into your personal territory.
5. She plays the ever suffering martyr
She behaves like an innocent mother to her son.
She cleverly hides her manipulations under a fake smile.
She often reminds her son about the sacrifices she made to bring him up.
When your husband is around, she pretends to do all the household chores herself.
She fakes tiredness to show her son she is wearing herself off for his well-being.
6. She makes comments which indirectly degrades you
Your manipulative mother in law makes seemingly innocent comments about you, but there is venom filled in it.
Your husband as a man never knows the hidden innuendos behind the words of his mother.
You, as woman easily see through her poisonous words.
7. She wants to take control
Your manipulative mother-in-law wants to be the deciding factor in her son's life.
She wants her domination in the kitchen.
She insists she cooks for her son.
She wants your husband to spend more time with her than with you.
You are furious when she constantly tries to take complete control over your husband.
8. She plays the victim
She is very clever in playing the all suffering mother.
She puts on so much pretense before your husband that you are unable to pinpoint her sneakiness.
She makes you suffer emotionally by being fake and pretentious.
She is an expert in shedding crocodile tears to show that you are the culprit behind her unhappiness.
9. She becomes all-powerful before relatives
When you go to family gatherings, she assumes great power in the presence of relatives.
She knows you will not retaliate against her before them.
So, she passes snide comments about you. She orders you about. Or further still, she totally ignores you as if you didn't exist.
10. She wants to end your domination in her son's life
Your manipulative mother-in-law will go out-of-the-way to ruin your relationship with her son.
She cannot bear to be the second best in his life. Your husband only knows her best side, whereas only you know her meaner side.
Conclusion about your manipulative mother-in-law
Your manipulative and scheming mother in law makes your relationship with your husband heated. You know that if she was as loving as your husband says she is, she would give the much-needed freedom to her son.
You can only respect your mother-in-law. You cannot be a puppet to her manipulating strings.

I am new to the group...and new to being pregnant. This is my first pregnancy after IVF for ovarian endometriosis and I am overjoyed! Hope to get to know everyone and maybe give each other a hand through this since this group still has a while to go before the due date.
Hi bagy!!!
Welcome to this club.
God bless you!!!
Congratulations!!! This is my first pregnancy also so I am excited and overwhelmed. I joined this website to hopefully learn from and with everyone else. Do you mind sharing what types of symptoms you are experiencing?
This is my first pregnancy too, thought it was a good idea to 'meet' others in the same boat.
Hi everyone, I was thrilled by your response. Well Jade, answering your question, I am pretty much bloated ALL THE TIME and the nausea is terrible...there is no vomitting but I kind of have a feeling of queasiness all through the day and I have to force myself to eat. I am taking progesterone injections and oral along with low-dose of steroids as part of the IVF protocol and I think the progesterone is making me extra fatigued...I sleep on average 12 hours a day and wake up tired and want to sleep again! It seems a long way to go before I start feeling normal again....but hey, it is worth it!

Patisserie top finished…and birthday gift received!
I finished my Patisserie quilt top (I know…duh…the title told you this!)…and it's BEA.U.TI.FUL. It's a gift for my mother, and she got a chance to see the finished top a few days ago. I'm fairly certain that she likes it
I also received notification that Sheila in SPAIN received the birthday award that I sent to her! My hint was that it was going to be something handmade by me and that it was involving 1 of my 5 addictions that we discussed so many months ago. Well, this is what I made her:
I made this coffee apron…from a SUPER AWESOMELY simple pattern found here… I also sent along a pound of my favorite plasma…I mean coffee (Community Coffee Medium Roast). I put it all in a matching little coffee bag…but I didn't take a pic of that. (Thank you to my sister Susan who modeled this for me).
That's about it for me here. I have been working on THE Blackbird freebie that's flying all over the net, but alas…no camera to take pics with (sidebar…the above pics were taken with MiMi's camera and then emailed to me!). I'm hoping to finish this little chart up and submit it for the contest by Sunday! Fingers Crossed!!!
Happy Stitching…and Happy Weekend to you all!

Blog Sol y Nieve Pucón
For an unforgettable adventure experience we know you want safety, quality equipment and certified guides. Sol y Nieve offers all of this and more. With a 30 year history in specialist adventure activities look no further for the best option to fully enjoy all the alternatives available in Pucón & the surrounding area.
7 top reasons to go white water rafting in Pucón!
White water rafting on the Trancura or Liucura rivers has been a stock "must-do" activity in Pucón for decades now! The first commercial descents began waaaaay back in the early 1990's, with Sol y Nieve among the first to offer those rivers to tourists.
As a result, rafting has become one of the most traditional, and best loved, activities around Pucón. The international white water kayak and rafting competitions that are hosted every year attract experienced competitors from across the globe proving how inviting, and challenging! the waters really are.
But of course you can go white water rafting in many other destinations so why choose Pucón?
Here are our 7 top reasons why!
#1. Really close by! Just 30 minutes after leaving your hostel or hotel and you will be at the river edge getting kitted up and ready to begin your river experience!
#2. Experienced Sol y Nieve guides:Their love of the water is evident; you can see it in the shine in their eyes. They seem to live for the river and they just love sharing that passion with you.
#3. Amazing volcano views: Every curve of the river affords glimpses of the omnipresent Villarrica volcano and other surrounding mountains making the whole experience perfectly unique.
#4. Year round options: Trancura Alto (Upper Trancura), the high river, is a high adrenaline Class IV+ option usually available between October/November to May/June. During the season when the water rushes down from the mountains, the Alto becomes a torrent of rapids which turn it into true white water and therefore it is even off limits for those with heaps of experience. During those months, the Liucura, or Trancura Bajo (Lower Trancura) offers a year round option with rapids which range between Class 2 and Class 3.
#5. A perfect family experience: because you don't need any prior experience for the lower river it is great option for families. You do however have to be able to swim and be a minimum age of 14.
#6. Bird life! An added extra on these excursions is the presence of various bird species that feed from the river and nest in the trees on the banks. The surprisingly large Ring Necked Kingfisher can often be seen gliding gracefully across the surface of the river in search of a fresh catch.
#7. Well maintained equipment: Sol y Nieve prides itself on the quality of the equipment offered in all excursions. In the case of rafting you will get a wetsuit, neoprene boots, life jacket, helmet and of course the all essential paddle. Also included is return transport to the river edge, your bilingual guide, insurance, coffee and snacks at the end of the trip. All you need to get together is a change of clothes, swim gear, sun protection and a towel.
So there you go! 7 reasons why Pucón's local rivers are a great option for that white water river experience. You will find many operators offering discounts, combos and attractive prices, but do take care to look out for that value added element that is hard to put a price on, good old experience. And Sol y Nieve sure does have a lot of that!
Check out our reviews on Trip Advisor here as well as why we believe our Sol y Nieve guides are the best for making your rafting trip an unforgettable experience!

Tomorrow he will be one.
This has been the best year of my life.
It has been the hardest year of my life.
It's been the most emotional, the deepest, the sweetest, the loveliest.
Jacob was born a year ago tomorrow, and with him, I was re-born. Being his mother is the most profound responsibility that I have ever had, and I feel it deeply.
A year ago right now I was in labor – experiencing the strangest phenomenon I had ever felt – and not just physically. It was a fruitless labor, ultimately, but it was truly a time of transition – from an old life, to a new one. Being a mother – Jacob's mother – is a role I was born to hold. The first thirty years of my life contained less metamorphosis than the 31st.
I think back over the past year, and it's impossible to overstate the impact on my life, or the lives that his has touched. He is loved deeply, fiercely and profoundly. My life is better with him in it.
There's a lot about the first year that blurs, beautifully, together in my memory, but that first day – those first few precious hours… those remain sharp:
At 10:09, a year ago tomorrow, he was birthed by an act of medical prowess, and let out his first cries. He has "catchers mitts" they said, and he was perfect (IS perfect). "We have a SON!" I kept exclaiming, not quite understanding the blessing that had been bestowed. A short time later, minutes not hours, he was next introduced to our families – my parents first, with Matt and Kelly, and then Scott's parents and sister. He was deeply loved at only minutes old. Seeing my parents set eyes on him – oh my. I'm weeping over that moment still. Joe being in DC, and wanting to book a flight right that minute, especially when he received the 2am phone call telling him that his nephew was born.
This child has transformed me, and my life.
I will never be the same. And I don't want to be.

Toyotas are known for being affordable cars, but any new car you buy is going to be pricey. Thankfully, Toyota dealerships understand that most people today are on budgets and they strive to make cars affordable for the average American family. With a little help from the financing department and the various specials and deals that most dealerships offer throughout the year, it is possible to get a great, affordable car that you'll love and will last you for years to come. Start by checking out your local dealer's website, www.righttoyota.com, to see the deals they currently have available. You might be surprised at how much you could save just by doing a little research.
At http://www.righttoyota.com/, you'll find that there are many opportunities for you to save on your new car. There are special deals on new and used Toyotas, as well as financing options, weekly deals, sales that happen throughout the year, rebates and incentives, and even some discounts for special groups. Most weeks throughout the year Toyota dealers will run advertisements in their local newspapers showing what specials they'll have for that particular week. These deals last only a week and are important to take advantage of while they're still applicable. You can also check with the financing department to see if they have any special pricing available. Financing departments frequently run specials on their loans to help cut down the initial cost of the car for buyers and you'll often times see sales where cars require no down payments at all when they're bought with financing through the dealership. You can also talk to your salesperson about any upcoming sales. They might be able to advise you if it's better to wait a few weeks until the time of a sale.

The complex has been sold and is going to be demolished, but tenants say they are not being given enough time to find a new place to live. People still have leases into October and they, along with everyone else, have been told to leave by the first week of March.
It's moving day for Robert and Rebecca Pillow, even though their lease is not up until May.
Robert said, "We got a nice little letter in the mail saying we had to vacate March 8th."
The couple says the letter caught them and everyone in the Greenbriar Chateau apartment complex off guard.
"It was pretty shocking when we first got the letter," Rebecca said. "I can't believe that we managed to get out in a week."
The apartments that stand here now will be demolished and new apartments rebuilt on the location. Residents with long-term leases say they are being forced out before the lease expires.
Megan Flora said, "It's terrible that they only gave us that short of a time."
There is a statute in Texas law that allows apartment complex owners to end leases early if the complex is being demolished, as is the case at the Greenbriar Chateau. However, University of Houston law professor Richard Alderman says the statute typically deals with complexes in disrepair.
He said, "There will be disagreements about what the law says, but the way I read it, those people have the legal right to stay through the end of the lease."
Alderman adds those on a month-to-month lease have no choice but to leave, however long-term lease holders may be able to convince a court they should not be evicted if it comes to that.
The complex is offering residents full February rent refunds if they are out by February 20 and half refunds if they leave after that date. The complex is also giving residents $250 toward moving, and the security deposit back.
The complex management said in a written statement, "We want to, and will do, more than Texas law requires in assisting our residents."
Still, some residents may try to hang on longer. Those who say they want to stay could be evicted, but if that happens, Alderman says the lease terms will likely be honored. In the meantime, the management company says it will do everything it can to help those having trouble finding new apartments.
Statement from Greenbriar Chateau Management:
- "The ownership of Greenbriar Chateau has been, and remains, dedicated to serving the residents of this community. We are taking an active role in assisting our residents with their transition into a new community as this property has been sold and will be redeveloped.
We want to, and will do, more than Texas law requires in assisting our residents. We are offering relocation services; providing money to help offset moving costs; assisting with moving companies; waving rent and maintaining a full staff on-site to aid in locating and securing other apartment options.
For residents that vacate their apartments by February 20, we will refund their February rent in full. If a resident vacates their apartment between February 21 and 27, we will refund half their February rent. This Saturday, we will provide shuttle service to multiple properties in line with our rental rates, as well as have representatives here on site to make the transition to a new apartment as easy as possible. We have also partnered with several other management companies to provide Greenbriar Chateau residents with suitable choices we hope will meet their housing needs.
We offer apologies to our residents for the inconvenience the sale of this property creates. We remain firmly dedicated to serving them during this transition."
Section 92.055 - TEXAS PROPERTY CODE:
a. A landlord may close a rental unit at any time by giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the tenant and to the local health officer and local building inspector, if any, stating that:
1. the landlord is terminating the tenancy as soon as legally possible; and
2. after the tenant moves out the landlord will either immediately demolish the rental unit or no longer use the unit for residential purposes.
b. After a tenant receives the notice and moves out:
1. the local health officer or building inspector may not allow occupancy of or utility service by separate meter to the rental unit until the officer certifies that he knows of no condition that materially affects the physical health or safety of an ordinary tenant; and
2. the landlord may not allow re-occupancy or reconnection of utilities by separate meter within six months after the date the tenant moves out.
c. If the landlord gives the tenant the notice closing the rental unit:
1. before the tenant gives a repair notice to the landlord, the remedies of this subchapter do not apply;
2. after the tenant gives a repair notice to the landlord but before the landlord has had a reasonable time to make repairs, the tenant is entitled only to the remedies under Subsection (d) of this section and Subdivisions (3), (4), and (5) of Subsection of Section 92.0563; or
3. after the tenant gives a repair notice to the landlord and after the landlord has had a reasonable time to make repairs, the tenant is entitled only to the remedies under Subsection (d) of this section and Subdivisions (3), (4), and (5) of Subsection of Section 92.0563.
d. If the landlord closes the rental unit after the tenant gives the landlord a notice to repair and the tenant moves out on or before the end of the rental term, the landlord must pay the tenant's actual and reasonable moving expenses, refund a pro rata portion of the tenant's rent from the date the tenant moves out, and, if otherwise required by law, return the tenant's security deposit.
e. A landlord who violates Subsection (b) or (d) is liable to the tenant for an amount equal to the total of one month's rent plus $100 and attorney's fees. f. The closing of a rental unit does not prohibit the occupancy of other apartments, nor does this subchapter prohibit occupancy of or utility service by master or individual meter to other rental units in an apartment community that have not been closed under this section. If another provision of this subchapter conflicts with this section, this section controls.
