Jose and I are competitive by nature and we need an incentive to lose weight! Who would be interested in doing a couple's weight loss competition? We haven't worked out the technicalities yet, but we need to come up with something quick. I know nobody would want to share their current weight so we need to find a place where we could do weigh ins and have them recorded for each person. We were thinking everyone could pitch in some money for a grand prize. The amount depends on how many couples sign up. Jose is even going to throw in a FREE NIGHT'S STAY AT THE DRURY INN.
Let me know ASAP if you are interested in a little competition...say by Monday so we can start doing some weigh ins. Invite as many people as you want so we have a better chance of a fabulous Grand Prize!

Take Me Out To the Ballgame
On a sweltering, blistery Saturday afternoon, I squint my eyes as I take my stance in the batter's box and gaze out into the field in front of me. Second base is joking around with the umpire in the field amongst jeers from the shortstop of, "You ain't got nuthin', batter", while center field repeatedly pounds a fist in his glove as if he just can't wait to get some action. I grin, all the while thinking of how I would just like to make someone eat a nice, hard hit. Each of these personal traits of athletes combined as a whole into a team is what brings out the fun, competitiveness, and love of the game in softball.
As it goes in any kind of sport, there are always "The Naturals", those athletes that can just walk out onto the diamond, take a swing, and crack one over the fence, or make unbelievable catches that make us gawk in amazement. They can perform and excel at anything they choose to do, and possess a raw talent that makes the rest of us envious and wish that we, too, had that inborn capability.
In relation to those that have natural talent, there are those worker bees and competitors who would run through a brick wall before giving up. Though their performance may not flow as freely to them, they always give 110% of their physical effort and endure repetitive trials of inner strength to make themselves the best that they can be. Always going the extra mile is what they are known for, and in that respect they are looked upon with great admiration.

Subsequently, there are the polar opposites of these, which are those players who definitely need some angels in the outfield, infield, or any position they play for that matter. No matter how hard they try, they just don't hold any skills, but they can always provide us with a good laugh throughout the course of the game.
Additionally, you always have your boasters. Individuals that always have some kind of retort or cocky comment for everything, who make you grit your teeth and utter things under your breath that any mother would certainly not approve of. Though they are loathed, they provide an edge to the game that would surely be missed if they failed to participate.
As the pitch floats toward the plate, I grip the bat and rear back to take a swing. Whether the hit turns out to be a homerun, or a ground out, I'll always step back up to the plate, look around, and smile at the never-changing mode of players that will always look back at me.

The Cotton Harlequin Bug is a member of the Jewel Bug family named for their bright metallic colouration.
The males and females of the Cotton Harlequin Bug are different colours, with the females mostly orange and the males mostly blue-red.
The Cotton Harlequin Bug feeds on many species belonging to the hibiscus plant family (Malvaceae), including ornamental hibiscus species and cotton. It feeds mostly on young shoots, piercing the stems and sucking the sugar-rich juices intended for shoot growth
Cotton Harlequin Bugs are sometimes a minor pest of cotton and have been known to cause the introduction of a fungus, which rots the cotton boll. In gardens, they cause flower buds to drop prematurely.
Watch out for your hibiscus flowers everyone.

You may have won a Million Dollars!!
Or maybe you didn't even open your Publisher's Clearinghouse Envelope. I know I didn't win or I'd be blogging to you from somewhere on a little island. I don't know which island, all I know is that I'd have my own little yarn store. Ok, it would be a LARGE yarn store. A really really really big yarn store. Maybe there wouldn't even be an island, just a beach and a yarn store. Yes, I'd share it. You can all come play in my yarn store.
We all know I'm some type of a wool pig and I might have enough yarn for a tiny little yarn store already. Although, the only beach I have is the dirt pile that sits next to a little blue kiddie pool. Anyone wanna come over? I at least know how to make Margaritas.
Now even though I'm a pig, I'm not a hog. I like to share my little stash and I'm going to do just that. There were 4 people that guessed Kate's birth date correctly and they will all get a prize. See, not a hog, just a pig.
In my own little scientific method of paper scraps and a funky hat. I've randomly decided who gets what.
Arleta get the original prize which is this yarn:
and the pattern to make a Black Sheep Kristina Bag
Jade will get 2 skeins of Noro Kureyon yarn:
And a copy of my mitten pattern.
Marta will get the Alpaca (tan) and the Smoke Ring pattern.
Dee Ann will get the Handpainted Blue lace yarn and the Elizabeth I pattern.
I hope you all enjoy your gifts.
Did you notice that some of these are scarf projects? I've gone from indirectly passing on the scarf bug to actually pushing it onto some of you. I'm not really that tricky, I can admit it. Maybe if I give away projects my obsessions I'll actually be able to move on to a new one.
...or maybe not.
Thank you all for the shawl compliments. I'm working on getting some better pictures. I swear that it's a nice looking shawl and it looks better on me than on the floor. Well, only slightly better, but that's still good enough to need another picture.

I ordered my Kindle from Amazon two days ago, received it yesterday, and I thought I would record my first impressions here. Amazon has always been a first-class company and I received a quality product. The first book I downloaded into it was (of course) "Web Geek's Guide to the Android-Enabled Phone", and am looking forward to learning how to effectively use the Kindle with the book that Jerri, Prasanna, and I wrote.
I downloaded some books on my favourite hobby - Mathematics, to see how the Kindle handles the esoteric symbols and formula that make up the language of Mathematics. (Conclusion: no problemo! :)
I've also been busy on the website using Amazon's tool for requesting books to be published for the Kindle by visiting the many book orders that I've made in the past and clicking their "Kindle Request" feature.
I firmly believe in the eminent demise of paper books as the generations that are totally devoted to paper books pass on. Everything about eBooks makes them better in my very opinionated opinion - they take up no space, they can be indexed and searched electronically, one can highlight and mark them up with notes, clip portions from and transfer them among other useful devices, and basically do anything that an ordinary book can do - ONLY BETTER! I fail to see the attachment that so many have to the old paper-based technology, but then again, I never was a Luddite - someone who resists change just to resist it. Besides, my new Kindle fits perfectly into the padded slot in my beloved Franklin Planner, so why not?
Musings about things that interest a "Geezer Gadget Geek" who also happens to enjoy some of the finer things in life that liberty in a free country makes possible.

If you buy a solar panel and battery individually, Notice what output connector it has and its suitability for charging your device instantly (if advised) or connecting to a individual battery pack.
Journey duration: For the weekend journey, a battery pack may very well be loads. Even so the moment it truly is used up, it becomes unproductive body weight. Off-the-grid visits of each week or more are likely to have to have a solar charger or other generator.
Generally journey having a cost. Continue to be linked making use of the power of the Sunlight. Solar run backpacks are equally realistic and handy, Examine these out...
Locale: Silicon Valley In my opinion, there is no definition for backpacking sizing, and there is no definition for normal effectiveness.
How would you discover the voltage input score on your electronic system? 1) Glance within your operator's manual beneath technical specifications, or two) Search for the voltage rating printed or stamped as "DC output" to the wall outlet charger that you choose to likely obtained together with your gadget. Then make sure your portable battery pack can here produce a minimum of a similar voltage.
There are two simple forms of solar laptop chargers, a portable Variation along with a stationary Edition, and the sort you Make will mostly be a purpose of where by And exactly how you'll use it. For those who just want to demand and here use their laptop at home by means of solar power, then the portability on the unit is just not a concern, and also your Variation could very perfectly sprawl across your deck with no regard for excess weight check here or sizing.

Neither is there any definition for typical Sunlight. The farther you progress in the Equator, the harder this becomes. You are able to nevertheless solar cost at Barrow, Alaska, but the Sunlight angle will give some issues.
Attachment Mechanisms: Consists of a person 3/four" strap and two 1" straps with four male/woman clip sets along with criss cross webbing to the back again for easy attachment. Woman clips might be connected to any "loop" or conventional attachment position over a bag or tent. MOLLE appropriate.
An built-in storage battery delivers all-in-one usefulness of a power generator to make electricity plus a battery to shop it, for later recharging use.
The alternative case is true for short journey persons. When you will be clear of AC power receptacles and other charging methods, you are far better off (pounds-smart) simply by carrying 1 or 2 spare batteries and no panel.

Confidence about the future of Florida`s housing market was counterbalanced by a negative commentary on the state`s response to education needs during the morning session of a Friday economic conference in Boca Raton.
Organized by U.S. Rep. Harry Johnston, D-Boynton Beach, the daylong meeting offered the opinions of national and state executives and government leaders on a diverse range of topics affecting the future of Florida`s economy.
``Florida is in pretty good shape, especially in residential real estate markets, to weather changes in economic conditions,`` said Hank Fishkind, president of Fishkind Associates in Winter Park.
The state`s annual population growth has declined since 1987, Fishkind said, but there still are enough people moving to Florida to support a busy housing industry.
The number of new residents entering the state this year is expected to reach 360,000, down from 380,000 last year, Fishkind said. Current declines in the number of people moving into the state are belated responses to last year`s economic conditions in the Northeast, when the housing market hit the skids.
Potential Florida residents were not able to sell their homes for the price they wanted, so they postponed their moves to Florida, Fishkind said.
But ``even though the single-family markets are down a little, the housing markets (in Florida) overall are in excellent shape and we will have household growth in 1990,`` he said.
The positive housing perspective, however, preceded a critical review of the state`s responsibilities in the education sector.
``We ought to invest in our education system at the low end and at the high end,`` said Lance de Haven-Smith of Florida Atlantic University.

We would like to help you and your family stick to your New Year's resolution of having healthy, younger looking skin.
On behalf of myself and staff, t
hank you for putting your trust in us. We
would like to wish you a productive, happy and healthy New Year!
Warm Regards,
Dr. Bruce
P. Robinson, MD and Staff
New Year Skin Care Resolutions
Many of you have made your annual New Year's resolutions. Taking better care of your skin is a great pledge that many people make.
Start taking steps to improve the health and appearance of your skin today! At the office of Dr. Bruce P. Robinson, MD in Manhattan, we can help you develop skin care regimens and provide treatments that will keep your skin healthy, vibrant and youthful. To learn more, or to make an appointment, call our office today @ 212.750.7121.
Here are some tips to keep your skin healthy and combat premature aging:
Products containing alpha hydroxy acids or Retinoids
can help you achieve younger-looking skin. You also may want to use products with antioxidants. These can repair skin and help ward off further damage. Skin-care routines can be customized to reduce skin irritation.
If your skin is prone to acne, be gentle:
If you are an adult fighting acne, using anti-acne cleansers can promote skin irritation. Be sure to check to ensure products and cosmetics are labeled oil-free, non-comedogenic or non-acnegenic. Wash skin gently. Scrubbing too hard may further irritate skin.
Your skin's oil production declines when you hit your 40s, so moisturize skin daily as you get older. The ideal time to moisturize is immediately following your shower or bath. If your skin is still dry, even with daily moisturizing, don't be afraid to use moisturizer several times per day. Don't forget your hands/neck & chest.
k With the Program
Waiting for a new skin treatment to show results can be a test of patience. A good anti-aging cream can take six weeks, so don't give up. That goes for skin lighteners and acne products, too.
Protect your skin:
Summer is gone, but sunscreen is here to stay: You should be concerned about sun exposure year round, even in the winter.
There are actually two types of UV rays: UVB and UVA. While the intensity of UVB rays decrease around wintertime, the UVA rays remain constant.
The sun's ultraviolet rays accelerate skin aging. Sun protection should be a SPF of at least 30. Apply it to exposed skin whenever you head outside. Seeking shady areas and wearing additional clothing and hats /gloves to protect skin also is recommended.
No Smoking:
Tobacco smoke has toxins that give people what is known as smoker's face. This is the dull and dry complexion, appearance of premature lines and wrinkles and leathery skin that many smokers develop.
Book a yearly skin exam:
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends that all adults have an annual skin exam by their dermatologist, while those with a personal history of skin cancer should be seen more frequently, usually every 3-6 months. Adults and children with a family history of melanoma are at an increased risk for developing skin cancer and should also have routine skin exams. In addition to a yearly skin check, you should examine your own skin once every month, taking note of any new or changing spots. Studies have shown that those who do so are more likely to catch skin cancer early on.
There are many factors that can lead to skin aging. Some are beyond our control. Others we can do something about. To learn how we can help you keep your skin healthy and younger looking, contact our office today @ 1-212-750-7121.

Shake 174: The danger of airport bars
September 26, 2010
I've only missed a flight once in my life. That once was only last year when I was transferring at LA airport to meet my sister in New York. It was the week before 4th July, so the airport was bustling – it felt like everyone was either coming from NY or making their way there. I'm sure those of you familiar with LA international airport will understand why the 5 hour wait was mind-numbingly dull – with but a handful of stores to divert you, it's very uninspiring. After 3 hours of reading and iPod-ing, I went in search of the only bar in the complex; surely I could waste another hour there. As soon as I seated myself, the introductions began to flow in. I realised I was surrounded by other travellers who were all just as bored as I was. Two hours and an unknown number of drinks later, I was sure it was time to go, so I bid my time-wasters farewell. But when I arrived at the gate, it was unusually empty and to my horror, I could see the plane slowly beginning to distance itself.
I won't tell you the details of the next 12 hours, but let's just say that my best purchase on that trip was an airport blanket. I think that says enough.
Why am I sharing this little tale? A one-off experience for me is unfortunately a reoccurring one for Glenda. Seems like she misses a flight almost every time she goes away! Her last was between London and Portugal, and she doesn't have the excuse of intoxication.

I would keep this on all the time instead of the 3d models.
Edit: riding that karma train
The 3d models were nice to bring the hype and popularity but now its time to think economical.
Speaking of battery saver, am I the only one who sometimes loses touch response from the game after using battery saver and sticking my phone in my pocket?
Beautiful, I'd actually switch to this even if it used up more battery.
its not even that, its super laggy when you are in a populated area like time square new york, theres so many gym and shop within your map it starts to become very unstable....
edit: lots of people asking me where am i,
leaving soon though :)
edit2: drove to another place because u wanted to farm Magikarp holy shit this place https://i.imgur.com/mcrbqON.jpg
Poor new yorkers I almost feel sad, glad to live in Costa Rica where only downtown has pokestops /s
i lose response with just holding it in my hand and i have to restart it sucks
Why wasn't this the default look of he game in the first place? Looks much better and much more iconic.
I love it. I'm no phone expert or anything but couldn't this in theory be used as the default for people with phones too weak to run the game in its current state?
The more inclusive they can make it the better I think.
ayyy macarena
Same, no matter what options you chose - your 3D character still ends up looking like a dork.
The look they went with for the characters just doesn't mesh well with the pokemon aesthetic.
my guess is it's an easier transition from the coding of ingress since that was already programmed for 3D. A more modern feel of the game would draw in the general players more also. But as an old time fan I totally want classic look!
Beautiful downtown Costa Rica!
To be fair almost every trainer in the games looks like a big dork...
Yea it's battery saver. Just turn it off until they fix it. Not worth it.
It isn't the "advanced graphics" that draw down the power so much
We should be able to choose our class of trainer. Like "hiker, cooltrainer, breeder, youngster, gentleman, etc.
Great idea, but in order to save significant battery you'd have to significantly rewrite the app. It currently uses a 3D engine, which means it's juggling a lot of eggs that simply don't apply to a 2D version, such as depth, meshes, and object loading (as opposed to sprite loading).
It would also be tricky to switch between these on the fly, as opposed to forcing a reboot when you switch modes. But that could be handled... possibly with some loading time when you switch, I'm not sure.
ayyy gringo
I like 8 bit models better then 3d models anyway. That is one of the reasons I like the older Pokemon games better. The 2D models just had something so charming about them.
Ingress uses extremely simple minimalist graphics and still eats batteries.
These types of AR games eat batteries because of GPS and constantly updating fine GPS locations. It's not because of the graphics alone. Shifting to 2D graphics would probably not impact battery life in a noticeable way, especially since they'd likely be running the same exact engine except loading 2D graphics in place of 3D models.
Then we can harass people for not wearing shorts!
I've seen some like 20 dollar phones that can run it just no AR. I don't think that's that crazy.
Turn your phones brightness down
ayy lmao
. .╚⊙ ⊙╝.. Not fast enough
.. ╚═(█)═╝
lol they can show you the entire map of the United States if they wanted. It just depends on how much they want you to see
yeah.. screen and location (usually a mix of gps and wifi polling) are a huge drain
Yeah, true :D
But in the games, even Colosseum, they look like they just have a misguided sense of fashion, they still fit the world.
Here it just looks like a bunch of dorks ran in to a toy store to play with toy pokemon. They just look to "real" for a pokemon game I think.
No, you can see more distance with the isometric view.
No. Assuming they don't rewrite the app, all of these "sprites" would still be 3d models. They might be a bit simpler, but on a modern smartphone (galaxy s4 or greater) the games 3d models aren't really a heavy workload already. You would still have GPS + internet connection. AR segments would still be extremely battery intensive. The display is typically the largest contribution to energy consumption anyways. I think it's safe to say you would see less than 10% savings. I'm guessing closer to 1-3%
Costa Rica
Or any rural area. I live in East Tennessee. The closest pokestop is about 5 miles away. The first gym even further.
Also it's pretty common to have zero Pokémon nearby.
That. Is. Brilliant.
YES PLEASE. I would like to see a dark mode (to save battery) too, but this is nice too, because 3d render needs too many resources and batt.
If their phone has an AMOLED display, dark themes save battery more effectively than turning down brightness. Black pixels consume no power.
That's exactly it. High accuracy GPS, screen on, data connection, AND camera?
That's literally every high battery draining activity in one shot.
Literally no one argued against that. lol
How fast can you type with all those arms?
Would this actually save battery though?
La sabana tiene un buena seleccion de pokemones, este fin de semana un grupo de amigos y yo vamos a estar toda la tarde buscando. Ya he visto Snorlax, Dratini y Onyx en el parque pero no tuve la oportunidad de atrapar alguno... la aplicacion se pasa cayendo.
But you aren't really saving power. All your doing us slightly reducing the GPU workload. I would be surprised if you saved 10%
I used an app to drop the resolution and texture quality of my game. It drastically reduced the lag I was getting.
Edit: Holy Inbox batman. The app is called Game Tuner
I highly doubt that a significant amount of battery is from rendering the shitty graphics of the game. There's a different between dimming the screen completely (current battery saver) and just rendering the graphics differently.
Am I doing this right? My money keeps hitting the screen bit nothing is happening.
Those people sure won't be comfy and easy to wear!
/u/Tom_Foolery1993 Do you have a link to that on amazon? My nephew is looking for a phone, he has a simple one only for calls and text but he wants to get in on the action now that pogo is out.
Honestly I agree, I live in 30 minutes from the city in a decent sized town but most things are spread out. Downtown is the only super concentrated place and it has changed the city overnight. Everyone has been flocking there and the city climate has changed overnight.
hint: they are hiding under the kudzu
yeah we should have like exotic pokemons, not rattatas
You do realize that most of NYC is not like Times Square, right? The game runs fine here. . . lol.
Pretty sure the majority of the battery is drained by constant GPS pinging and screen brightness.
what app
All the freakin time. I can't use battery saver :(
Well it is t on sale for 20 any more, but here's one I know runs it. Still not too expensive though.
What carrier does he have though? Not all phones will work with all carriers.
And the camera for the AR probably drains it.
Look at this pleb. He doesn't even know how to make a skin jacket. Get. Good. Scrub.
Yes, they need that and push notifications. It would be amazing if i could walk my dog and have my phone vibrate and play a notification sound when a pokemon is nearby.
Happens to me, but haven't noticed a connection with battery saver. Just happens randomly.
Yeah I live in a small town and our "downtown" area has a lot of pokestops and a few gyms. Went there last weekend and it was crazy seeing so many people playing Pokemon. Lures going and people talking about the game and playing together. Planning to go Friday night to hang out and play and maybe meet some new friends. 🙂
Why doesn't Google maps doesn't eat up battery as fast as Pokemon Go?
Mine just zoomed in slowly then didn't do anything. It looked like it was loading for a bit there...
This basically. GPS, screen on and internet are the real battery killers. What would save battery is being able to still log progress with the screen off, and for it to support tracking through fitness trackers/ Google fit or whatever apple has for egg hatchings. The only battery drain would be when actively tracking something.
how tf do you even wear people!?
You can turn the screen off while using maps. If Pokemon Go added a background mode there would already be a huge improvement to battery life. Honestly I'm not sure why this is not a thing already, at least on Android there is nothing preventing Pokemon Go from doing what it needs to do while the screen is off.
Additionally I'm sure Pokemon Go is doing a lot of checks to make sure you are actually moving and not spoofing your location. So Pokemon Go is using more sensors and doing more computation than Maps.
On top of that it's clear that it's also not a well coded app. You can tell by the loading times and poor UI performance.
But walking to times square is great on the week when it's empty; get some gyms and some pokestops, and hatch a couple eggs.
Do you have trouble selecting the pokemon that pop up, instead of the pokestops and gyms?
phone explodes
I m p r e s s i v e L e n g t h
Its true in most small towns. It's crazy how much this game has changed the culture of people who would normally just sit at home at their desks. Main street is the only place with anything in my town of 8000 and you can walk 2 blocks and see 10 people playing. Streets used to be dead after 7pm. Now people are out all night.
Times square empties? Are you sure?
Also the Pokémon games have deviated away from the traditional 2D look at Pokemon X/Y
I was thinking more Gen 3 graphics
The classic look of this is brilliant and would definitely fit the game!
Gen 3 blew my mind with the footprints in the sand. I'd be ok with Gen 3 graphics.
I have this phone. I got it for $30.
AR doesn't work with my phone
I have. I've also lost touch and/or sound some other way as well that I didn't catch.
I'm a app developer and this actually wouldn't save much battery at all. It is the GPS and screen brightness that takes up most of the battery. I like the retro look though.
Agreed. This is what i wished for. Huge missed opportunity imo
Personally, I like this mockup more because it's reminiscent of the old school gameboy advance I had.
neither example has an isometric view just fyi
Isometric does not mean "top down". It means no perspective but still representing the x, y, and z axis properly.
In an isometric projection, all parallel lines are parallel forever, they never intersect. The front and back faces of the cube are parallel in both examples, but on the right, they extend into the horizon and eventually intersect. An isometric projection doesn't do that and also has no horizon.
All angles are kept consistent. The second image is an example of TRUE isometric a la The Sims and Rollercoaster Tycoon. Note that the angles are not consistent in the first picture's example, a la Pakitect.
Eine Gurke auf zwei beinen
I use a blu energy x and it runs Pokémon go perfectly fine. The huge battery also helps with long trips and stuff too.
Nah, it's a common bug. You'd think that woulda shown up on testing...
It's 100% battery saver
because pants are uncomfy and hard to wear?
i turned off AR and it still eats my batteries like i didn't feed it for a week.
Para que el equipo rocket no nos entienda. Duh.
The graphics aren't the primary culprit of the power usage. The fact that it constantly needs high accuracy GPS is the main one.
On top of that, having everything be server-side processing means that it is constantly using your mobile radio, which uses a ton of battery as well.
To top it off, it requires your screen to be on to play the game.
But you are right. The 3D graphics certainly do not help the battery situation. Anything that can help reduce battery life would be a welcome feature.
sometimes, its so freaking laggy

Use of electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA). Another means by which newer technologies can bolster PANSS training and data quality is use of eCOA. Platforms utilizing this methodology can assess ratings for logical inconsistencies among PANSS items and between the PANSS and other scales and alert the investigator before data submission. The investigator has the option to reevaluate their rating or to maintain the original scores. eCOA also permits additional alerts and reminders to be made to the rater. For example, the PANSS rater may be prompted to include informant information when appropriate or to periodically remind the subject of the reference period. Notes to support the choice of anchor point might be required. This technology was positively received by both patients and caregivers, with minimum modification requests. 10 The capacity for audio/video recording of SCI-PANSS interviews can be embedded in the eCOA platform to facilitate deeper independent review of visits, either through an a priori plan (e.g. evaluation of every rater's first assessment) or via a risk-based approach using inconsistencies detected within PANSS data to "flag" an evaluation for review. Early detection and remediation of these data flaws is critical for study success and to prevent "rater drift." 11 Continual evaluation of the quality of a site's interviews and ratings and retraining as necessary should continue throughout all phases of the trial, just as any assay would be repeatedly monitored and recalibrated. EVALUATION OF NEWER TRAINING AND DATA MONITORING PROCEDURES There have been a number of solutions to managing rater drift during clinical trials. Remote, independent rating, 12 smaller trials with more experienced rater cohorts, 13 and a number of in-study techniques that utilize the internal logic of instruments like the PANSS have gained attention in the last decade. 3,14,15 The latter technique uses algorithms to generate flags for what is often referred to as a risk-based approach to monitoring in-study data. Algorithms can consist of logical binary or factorial relationships between one or more scale items or more sophisticated statistical techniques that leverage large clinical trial datasets with known outcome parameters. For the purposes of this article, we will limit our discussion to the sorts of binary and factorial relationships that exist within the PANSS and how these can be used to generate flags. For example, if a rater scores at the level of 7 on Item P5 (grandiosity) and then scores Item P1 (delusions) at the level of 1, this would generate a flag. This is because at the level of 7 on P5, we expect significant and pervasive grandiose delusions and, if that is the case, then the P1 should receive a similarly severe rating. While this is an extreme example (and usually related to the rater's reluctance to "double rate" the same symptom) it serves to illustrate the essential idea that the instrument relationships themselves can show us where there is a high risk for error. Another illustration comes in the form of the Marder 16 five-factor model for the PANSS (though some dispute this factor solution 8 ); in such frameworks, the expected correlations between items that represent factors can be used to detect aberrant presentations and potential risk. 5,11 For example, if we think about the negative factor that includes N1 to N4, N6, and G7 and we expect that these will be predictably correlated (within certain severity ranges), we can identify risk when one or more correlation fails to agree with the identified matrix. How are these risks are dealt with? Is it actually rater error that is present? Or is it simply a somewhat unusual patient presentation? Intervention methods differ and depend on who is leading the data-monitoring effort, but if actual rater error is responsible, this is the point at which a targeted training event takes place. It must be emphasized here that an expert clinician with a very clear understanding of the scale and the patient population must complete the training. This in-study targeted training is essential in arresting rater drift and reducing the impact of non-informative data (i.e., data that contribute little to the goal of the study but increase variance and thus the ability to detect the signal where it exists). This method has proved cost-effective, and the targeted nature of intervention requires fewer resources than interval retraining (e.g., training done every 3–6 months) for the full cohort of raters. More importantly, the reduction in non-informative data can make the difference between a failed or negative trial and one that is positive. Prospective, adequately controlled comparisons of methodologies for rater training or in-study data quality monitoring coupled with remediation are rare because sponsors are reluctant to vary methodologies within a clinical trial. The comparison of methodologies across trials is complicated by multiple uncontrolled differences in trial characteristics. That said, used in parallel, the methodologies are complimentary and can reinforce the four principles critical to obtaining reliable and valid data for the duration of a trial. Although the results must be evaluated carefully, comparisons of inter- rater reliability, nonspecific variance, placebo response, and drug-placebo differences across trials using different methodologies can be informative, if not definitive. 15 Newer interview training and scale rule training techniques can be evaluated against in-study metrics based on error rates detected by data analytics as well as via an external expert review of recorded patient interviews. The independent review of patient interviews is highly recommended for all clinical trials. It has been demonstrated that interviews that are recorded and reviewed have PANSS scores that align better with the scale requirements. 17 CONCLUSION PANSS rater training has become a standard component of most clinical trials, but true standardization with respect to the exact approaches, techniques, and standards remains elusive. For clinical trials using the PANSS, it is strongly advised that the training program incorporates the core principles described in this article and advocated by the author of the PANSS. Where possible, we also further recommend the following:1) Favor active learning techniques over passive ones, particularly for experienced clinicians and raters with meaningful prior experience using the PANSS. While some raters have persistent idiosyncrasies in their approaches

In the last ten years, some careers have gained quick prominence, and are proving to be more lucrative than the more traditional careers. Here are five such careers:
1. Gym/ Fitness Instructor.
As we become increasingly conscious of our health, gym and fitness instructors are getting hired in increased numbers. Currently, they are being hired mostly in upmarket places, but with time, their numbers will increase.
2. Social Media analysts.
More of us are online these days, and on social sites like Twitter, Facebook, or Google Plus. Have you ever wondered who updates the Facebook page or Twitter account of your favourite politician? Most likely, it's a social media analyst who has been hired to do that. Incidentally, social media also presents tremendous opportunities for companies to analyze how their brands are perceived and social media analysts and marketers help in unearthing such information.
3. Data Scientists.
Huge chunks of data are being released everyday, and data scientists help to make sense of this data. Mostly,
they are statistics or IT and Computer Science graduates who have gone further to specialize in the data field.
they are statistics or IT and Computer Science graduates who have gone further to specialize in the data field.
4. Petroleum/ Green energy engineers.
While many Kenyans have previously trained in the traditional engineering areas of civil, mechanical and electrical engineering, a new breed of engineers that will tap into Kenya's vast energy resources is in critical need. Tullow Oil Company has already sent the first batch of future petroleum engineers and geologists to be trained in the UK, while the Geothermal Development Company- GDC, has specially trained engineers in the geothermal field. Green energy engineers in wind, solar and bio-fuels will also be needed in due time, as they continuously research on ways to produce clean energy that is not harmful to the environment.
5. Actuarial Science/ Financial engineers.
Actuaries work within the wider insurance industry, to calculate risks. Financial engineers work on the complex capital markets, and financial instruments. They work in investment banks, or any area that previously would have been suitable for a Finance graduate. A strong aptitude in math is needed to excel in these two professions.

Indian Foods Which Helps Cut Unwanted Fat
Ayurveda suggests you include all tastes — sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent — in at least one meal each day, to help balance unnatural cravings. Here are some foods that can help you lose weight and gain health:
Turmeric: Curcumin, the active component of turmeric, is an object of research owing to its properties that suggest they may help to turn off certain genes that cause scarring and enlargement of the heart. Regular intake may help reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol and high blood pressure, increase blood circulation and prevent blood clotting, helping to prevent heart attack.
Cardamom: This is a thermogenic herb that increases metabolism and helps burn body fat. Cardamom is considered one of the best digestive aids and is believed to soothe the digestive system and help the body process other foods more efficiently.
Chillies: Foods containing chillies are said to be as foods that burn fat. Chillies contain capsaicin that helps in increasing the metabolism. Capsaicin is a thermogenic food, so it causes the body to burn calories for 20 minutes after you eat the chillies.
Curry leafs: Incorporating curry leafs into your daily diet can help you lose weight. These leafs flush out fat and toxins, reducing fat deposits that are stored in the body, as well as reducing bad cholesterol levels. If you are overweight, incorporate eight to 10 curry leafs into your diet daily. Chop them finely and mix them into a drink, or sprinkle them over a meal.
Garlic: An effective fat-burning food, garlic contains the sulphur compound allicin which has anti-bacterial effects and helps reduce cholesterol and unhealthy fats.
Mustard oil: This has low saturated fat compared to other cooking oils. It has fatty acid, oleic acid, erucic acid and linoleic acid. It contains antioxidants, essential vitamins and reduces cholesterol, which is good for the heart.
Cabbage: Raw or cooked cabbage inhibits the conversion of sugar and other carbohydrates into fat. Hence, it is of great value in weight reduction.
Moong dal: The bean sprouts are rich in Vitamin A, B, C and E and many minerals, such as calcium, iron and potassium. It is recommended as a food replacement in many slimming programs, as it has a very low fat content. It is a rich source of protein and fiber, which helps lower blood cholesterol level. The high fiber content yields complex carbohydrates, which aid digestion, are effective in stabilizing blood sugar and prevent its rapid rise after meal consumption.
Honey: It is a home remedy for obesity. It mobilizes the extra fat deposits in the body allowing it to be utilized as energy for normal functions. One should start with about 10 grams or a tablespoon, taken with hot water early in the morning.
Buttermilk: It is the somewhat sour, residual fluid that is left after butter is churned. The probiotic food contains just 2.2 grams of fat and about 99 calories, as compared to whole milk that contains 8.9 grams fat and 157 calories. Regular intake provides the body with all essential nutrients and does not add fats and calories to the body. It is thus helpful in weight loss.

I see to get your CCDP you have to pass 3 exams and 2 of them are core to the CCNP. So if you go get your CCNP and pass it, and then you technically only have 1 exam left to take for the CCDP, do you still HAVE to have a valid CCDA? ( Cisco.com says you have to have a valid CCNA and CCDA ,but doesn't mention anything about a CCNP)
I guess it wouldn't make sense if you spend the time going for a CCNP, get it, then you are just 1 test shy of the CCDP that you would have to also have a CCDA as i see from a lot of reading that a lot of the CCDA stuff is covered in even further detail on a CCNP track.

I have been closely following the progress of the Mitsubishi Outlander since its UK introduction a couple of years ago. Having decided this would be my first electric vehicle, I sought a clean, low mileage 5HS model at a good price. The advert on Autotrader by JSC of Windsor provided a perfectly accurate description of the car that I drove home yesterday. I called Tom on Monday to make an appointment to see the car on Wednesday. A small deposit ensured it would not be sold before I had seen it. The features and driving options offered by these hybrids are not always intuitive. I was completely reassured that the vehicle was comprehensively understood by Tom who provided a patient and leisurely overview for me. I felt no pressure to make the purchase. As all the boxes had been ticked, particularly the price, I completed the deal with confidence. The financial arrangements were swift and uncomplicated. I now know where to go to source my next car.
Would buy again ....

Very accommodating re appointment times, knowledgeable on their products, non-pushy, good selection of vehicles, after sales instructions straight forward. The non-conventional, non high street premises also allows them to pass on extra savings direct to the customer, so very competitive on price. Good to know they qualified as a legitimate supplier by my bank making finance a speedy process. We will be back in 2-3 years

Very satisfied customer! Initially, we dealt with Dean who has great knowledge of the cars. He gave us all the information we needed, and let us take it for a test drive unaccompanied. It was great to be able to talk about the car openly with hubby, without a salesman! When we returned it was obvious that the car was for us, so Dean arranged a trade in price for my car, and I paid my deposit, which was fully refundable! When collecting, I met Tom. Again very knowledgeable and helpful. Everything was sorted out quickly and with the minimum of fuss. They ensured the tax was sorted, V5 etc, and gave us another run through on the car. Two lovely friendly guys who you could chat to for hours, with excellent knowledge. No pressure environment, no frills, no pressure selling of add-ons like gap insurance. Hubby has already said he will be going there for his next car!
Very satisfied customer.

After my husband & I decided that we wanted to purchase the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV we initially tried a dealer and also Car Giant we realised these were not the places we wanted to buy from. Using search engines we were pleasantly surprised to come across locally based JSC. From the first phone call Tom couldn't have been more helpful. He even brought the vehicle to our workplace for a test drive. We couldn't fault the service offered, Tom was incredibly knowledgeable, honest and gave us the time we needed to work out the best options for us. We would recommend JSC to anyone and would certainly use again.

MASS. I am tired of my current job that has gone from work to fear for my families future. I am tired of the double standards and intimedation by one of the VIP's and the HR rep. at the plant. Thier investigations are one sided and biased. I have to here sexual inuendoes and comments about gender such as it's a women thing or others to that effect during a normal morning meeting. I am now the target of the HR investigation because I have weighted in on their handling the case of one of mine employees that works for me in my department. I have been pulled asside before when I weighed in on another investigation and was baically told to shut my mouth or they were going to rehash old dirt. I have worked for this company for going on 18 Years and have come up thru the ranks. For the past 3 years I have been going to work with the fear if today is my last day. I don't now what I can do I have no documintaion and probablly the other sipervisors will rollover to the usual imtimedation not to talk.

Of course, no one should have to work in those conditions (especially after 18yrs. of dedicated service), and there are plenty of harassment, hostile work environment and anti-retaliation related laws out there to protect employees that find themselves in these situations.
I recommend reviewing the MCAD's website http://www.mass.gov/mcad/ as a place to begin.
Hostile work environments are atrocious, and I'm sorry to hear that you are suffering in this manner.
Very sad to say, but the toughest part of your tale may be that, if you can't substantiate your side of the story or find anyone else who can back you up, you may not be able to do much about it. You have to think about how an investigator, a cop, a judge or a jury would respond to your story as gainst their story.
That's about as gentle as I can put it.This post is by Philip Gordon, a Massachusetts employment attorney (www.gordonllp.com).
This post is NOT legal advice. It is for general/educational information purposes only. You should not rely on this post if you are making decisions, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship. This post may be considered "advertising" under the MA professional rules for attorneys.
Corperate HR
Sealed my fate today. I put the corperate HR On Notice because the Plant Manager failed to on Tuesday. So I had to sit through a berating one on one with the VP of manufacturing who is one of the poeple in my complaint. I requested my personnel file eveidently I have to wait 7 days for it. Also the person I talked to at corperate said I had to wait for them to resolve this before going to the EEOC. I sent an E mail to the person at corperate as a way of putting it in writing and within 5 min. the VP was telling me to reveiw our policy about personel use of the computer. This gives me a real bad feeling about corperate HR because that must be the only way the VP could have found or the VP has the system set up to filter incoming and outgoing E-mails. Call me dumb I must be crazy for putting my family at risk to save an employee they already define as bum because of his stand up attitude. Can't beleive I made it throught the day. Good thing for a strong support of my wife.
P.S. No one ever got fired at this company until the new HR Bully decided who she liked and who she could use for her personl gain
"I talked to at corperate said I had to wait for them to resolve this before going to the EEOC."
That is incorrect. Anytime you feel that a violation of law has occured you may contact the appropriate agency. NO ONE can waive your rights to do so.
Now, if you do, that doesn't mean that a "charge" is filed. that's up to the agency to decide, based on evidence & the situation.
Also, if you do have a charge, and if it ends up in a lawsuit, it may affect any damages you receive if you did not follow all procedures to make the company aware, and allow them to correct. (If the procedures are ineffective, or there are too many obstcles this would debunk this).
It does NOT mean that you cannot contact them. Public policy seeeks to encourage people to report what they believe is illegal.
Saved and Lost
Well today I found out that my employees job would be saved for now, but will be on a tight leash. But on my part they have taken things out of context and peverted the information to start an investigation on me. The have susspended my indefinatly without pay following the out come of their investagation. This was done by the VP that flew back to town from bussiness early , and berated me twice while I was alone with him. I assume he feels he is above the laws of retalliation and harassment. I had to chuckle when one of the times he told me I brought it on myself. The first thing that popped into my mind was that is what a rapist would tell his victom , or wife beater would use a phrase like that.
Am I still bound to wait for corperate to finish their investigation?

Waltz With Bashir draws on the horror of war
Looking back at 2008, now that all the Oscars razzmatazz is over, few films truly stand the test as real 'keepers' – but Waltz With Bashir is definitely one of them, not least for creating an entirely new genre.
Portraying conflict as cartoon, Ari Folman's remarkable Oscar-nominated 'animated documentary' is a cathartic memoir of his time served as a young conscript during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, when Israeli troops stood by as an unknown number of Palestinians were massacred.
Fluidly animated in vivid colours and strong bold lines, it's more like a graphic novel brought to life than Disney for grown-ups.
It's also an astonishing and visually hypnotic example of 'film as therapy'; here, talking heads of fellow veterans and therapists swirl with Folman's own post-traumatic dreams as he tries to recover a period he'd blanked from his mind – a symptom he discovers he shares with many others of his generation.
Most war films, however effective and worthy, are over-familiar and formulaic; Folman reinvents the genre with a mesmerising power not seen since Apocalypse Now. 'I looked at everything as if through an imaginary camera,' he recalls.
This is a truly inspired evocation of the surreal horrors of war: think Persepolis meets Platoon.
Extras:Director interview, trailers. It's worth forking out £4 more for the Blu-Ray which also contains deleted scenes and a fascinating 70-minute making-of.

After three hours of playing Aliens: Colonial Marines I can say myself that had the game not drawn as much negative press as it has, I wouldn't be scrutinizing it like I find myself doing now. A simple stack of negative reviews with a spotting of positives scores is not at all what it would take for me to pass on any experience that is supposed to be direct canon to one of my all time beloved science fiction horror franchises! Hell no! As launch day neared I don't know if there was anything in the news about the games many missed opportunities or if I simply had not come across this info while doing my daily surf of the usual gaming sites, including NeoGAF.
As late as Friday before launch I was dead set on buying the Xbox 360 version since I had a $20 credit at GameStop. Then I started to see reports of people who obtained copies for both consoles (PS3 and 360, Wii U is postponed??) and they all said the same alarming thing, these versions were some of the ugliest shit they have witness this late in the generation! Even though I would normally think about my GamerScore like some fucking OCD nerd, this time I right away spanked the console purchase option and read up on the PC version.
Granted, the PC version isn't nearly the quality of even the Aliens Vs Predator release of 2010 when visually speaking. But it is better looking than the console version mostly due to downsampling 2560x1440 to 1080p. It is not better looking than the demo for this game that Gearbox showed off at E3! There are screens of that E3 demo floating around the nets with the comparitive part in the released version and the difference in most cases is staggering. Mind blown in fact. The demo is what we should have been shipped, not the other way around! I even think you can find video of the demo version versus the released version on YouTube showcasing exact locations with various differences ranging from lack of ALIENS in one of the most glaring shots, to total lighting meltdown where the demo looked eerily similarly dark to the Aliens universe but out retail copy looks like total shit. But I am not that technical and my terms elude me when speaking about what I am seeing on screen and what differences I can detect. This subject matter here is unlike most because the faults are so glaring they almost smack me upside the head when they pop onscreen. In other words, you don't have to look hard to see the changes this game has gone through since we were led to believe the franchise was in perfect hands at Gearbox. (Edit: I dug up the NeoGAF thread which shows the demo vs. retail differences)
Aside from the topic above, there is currently a lot of speculation as to actually who made the game! That is some absurd shit if you ask me, but TimeGate Studios (Section 8 guys!) claims to have built 80% and Gearbox says, "No, they only did like, 20%..." and back and forth they go. I'm sure the truth will come out soon enough but for now, nobody really can say who is responsible for creating this game. Some speculate SEGA should seek some legal action for this bullshit that has transpired, which without a shadow of a doubt will NOT boost sales a damn bit.
I could go on, but I'd really like to finish the game, and then maybe I'll reopen this post, or make a new one, filled with my final thoughts on what may be the first big bomb of 2013.

BAGHDAD, June 12 — Iraq's political leaders have failed to reach agreements on nearly every law that the Americans have demanded as benchmarks, despite heavy pressure from Congress, the White House and top military commanders. With only three months until progress reports are due in Washington, the deadlock has reached a point where many Iraqi and American officials now question whether any substantive laws will pass before the end of the year.
Yet again we see the leadership in Iraq doesn't want to agree. They tell our leaders they will get x and y done by date z to make us happy. As long as we are there giving them all the time in the world they just don't care about coming to the table and making an agreement.

Some boring stuff for people who don't take pics...
Okay here's what I've got. Here's a list of equivalent exposures for f/stop (aperature) and shutter speed. If you like the exposure you've got (amount of light in your shot) but need a faster shutter speed because you're photographing a bird, or a shorter focal point for more blurred background, change shutter and aperature by same amount.
f/stop Shutter Speed
f/2.8 1/500
f/4 1/250
f/5.6 1/125
f/8 1/60
f/11 1/30
We had some homework to do also. If you set your camera to spot meter or partial spot meter in manual, it shows you what your exposure is (based on the aperature, ISO, and shutter speed you've selected). So I point my camera at a plain white piece of paper under the sunlight, and I know by looking that it *should* be an exposure of +2. My camera blinks at +2 meaning it's exceeding +2 and will be overexposed if I take the shot. So I adjust the shutter speed down (faster) until it stops blinking and rests happily at +2. Now, as long as my lighting doesn't change (like the sun goes behind a cloud or something), my camera should be set just right in manual to give me accurate exposure (I think)? Like I said, my class is kind of confusing me so I need to check on this before I can confirm this strategy. But if that's right, then I think this is where a gray card would be really beneficial to me. I'm thinking that if I had a gray card (something you can buy from a photo store), wherever I am, I can take out my card, point my camera to it, adjust it so it says the exposure is 0 (since I know the gray card should be 0), and then shoot away in great exposure. Hm... seems too easy...I'll get back to you on that.
