The early life history traits of the labrisomid blenny Auchenionchus crinitus (Jenyns, 1842) from subtidal rocky reefs were studied, based on microstructure analysis of sagittae of their pelagic larvae (4.01 mm NL −12.50 mm SL). Ichthyoplankton was collected in shallow (<20 m) nearshore waters off Isla Santa María, Antofagasta, northern Chile every 15 days during austral autumn–winter 2014 (five sampling days). During late May and early June, larval abundance was low (median ± MAD, 39.06 ± 5.08 ind. 100 m−3), increasing significantly during mid-June to early August (110.98 ± 47.66 ind. 100 m−3). Using 354 sagittae, the back-calculated hatch dates indicated the occurrence of three hatching events, two in autumn and one in winter. Hatching occurred mainly during the illuminated phases of the lunar cycle. All three batches had similar estimated larval sizes at hatch (3.2–3.7 mm SL), as well as similar growth rates (0.19–0.22 mm day−1) during the first 30 days of life. During the study period, shallow waters were well mixed, with seawater temperature of 14.73 ± 0.58°C and salinity of 34.84 ± 0.04. This is the first estimation of early life history traits of this cryptobenthic species from rocky reefs of Chile.
Factors influencing early development such as birth weight, nest competition, and the diet received during rearing have been proposed as elements conditioning the future reproductive performance of European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) females. To evaluate their effects, we followed the life of 1513 females from birth to time of death, culling or censoring (animals alive at a fixed date). Between 0 and 63 days of age 353 females died. From the remaining 1160 females, 864 were chosen based on their birth weight to be transferred from the selection to the production farm. At this farm, 431 females received the control diet (184 g of CP, 381 g of NDF and 11.8 MJ of DE per kg DM), while the other 433 received the fibrous diet (134 g of CP, 436 g of NDF and 10.0 MJ of DE per kg DM). Throughout the rearing period, we checked for the individual live weight and body condition (perirenal fat thickness) at first artificial insemination. Reproductive lifespan was defined as the number of days between the first parturition and the time of death, culling or censoring. Birth weight affected the survival of newborn females during lactation and the presence of a milk spot at birth (related to nest competition) increased the survivability of newborns weighing <45 g (P<0.001). Rearing diet altered the growth curve of females and their body condition at first insemination. The diet also altered the relative risk of death during the rearing period, which was lower among females fed on the fibrous diet (−12.5%; P<0.001). Therefore, a higher number of females fed with this diet reached their reproductive life, directly affecting the productivity measured per housed female. Fatter females at first insemination had smaller litter sizes and a higher risk of being culled than lean ones (P<0.05). In general, the fibrous diet reduced the risk of leaving the herd at early rearing, and both birth weight and perirenal fat thickness affected female's reproductive lifespan. An excess of fat (positive change in one unit of perirenal fat) at their first insemination represented an increased the risk of death or elimination of 13%.
Natural control by predators and parasitoids provides an important and often unnoticed ecosystem service to agricultural landscapes by reducing pest populations in crops. The current model of horticultural intensification in south-eastern Spain produces high yields but has also resulted in a landscape almost completely covered by plastic. Promoting natural areas among greenhouses could enhance biodiversity, by being beneficial insects, and reduce pest pressure outdoors. The first step is to ascertain how pests and their natural enemies (NEs) use Mediterranean vegetation for selecting the best plants for pest suppression outdoors. The abundance of the two major horticultural pests, the tobacco whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, and the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, together with their NEs, were assayed in 22 flowering perennial plants, which were newly planted in an experimental field surrounded by greenhouses. Eight plant species were identified as the most critical species for sustaining pest populations outdoors. A set of five plant species supported a medium level of pests, and another set of ten plant species supported the lowest level of both pests. Tobacco whitefly occurred in a few plants species, whereas western flower thrips occurred on almost all the plant species studied, and was favoured by the presence of flowers in perennial plants. The results suggest that plant diversity may provide relatively few acceptable host plants for tobacco whitefly than for western flower thrips. NEs were generally collected in plants that also supported abundance of pests, indicating that host/prey availability, more than food resources from flowers, was a stronger predictor of NE abundance in perennial plants. Field trials using the plants with the lowest host acceptance by pests are needed in order to ascertain whether pest abundance outdoors is reduced.
Environmental enteropathy (EE) is a syndrome of altered small intestine structure and function hypothesized to be common among individuals lacking access to improved water and sanitation. There are plausible biological mechanisms, both inflammatory and non-inflammatory, by which EE may alter the cardiometabolic profile. Here, we test the hypothesis that EE is associated with the cardiometabolic profile among young children living in an environment of intense enteropathogen exposure. In total, 156 children participating in the Peruvian cohort of a multicenter study on childhood infectious diseases, growth and development were contacted at 3–5 years of age. The urinary lactulose:mannitol ratio, and plasma antibody to endotoxin core were determined in order to assess intestinal permeability and bacterial translocation. Blood pressure, anthropometry, fasting plasma glucose, insulin, and cholesterol and apolipoprotein profiles were also assessed. Extant cohort data were also used to relate biomarkers of EE during the first 18 months of life to early child cardiometabolic profile. Lower intestinal surface area, as assessed by percent mannitol excretion, was associated with lower apolipoprotein-AI and lower high-density lipoprotein concentrations. Lower intestinal surface area was also associated with greater blood pressure. Inflammation at 7 months of age was associated with higher blood pressure in later childhood. This study supports the potential for a relationship between EE and the cardiometabolic profile.
Colistin resistance mediated by the mcr-1 gene has been reported worldwide, but to date not from the Andean region, South America. We report the first clinical isolate of Escherichia coli harbouring the mcr-1 gene in Ecuador. The strain was isolated from peritoneal fluid from a 14-year-old male with acute appendicitis, and subjected to molecular analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentration of colistin for the strain was 8 mg/ml and it was susceptible to carbapenems but resistant to tigecycline. The strain harboured mcr-1 and bla
CTX-M-55 genes and was of sequence type 609. The recognition of an apparently commensal strain of E. coli harbouring mcr-1 serves as an alert to the presence in the region of this recently described resistance mechanism to one of the last line of drugs available for the treatment of multi-resistant Gram-negative infections.
We report observations of the radio periodic Be X-ray binary LSI+61°303, obtained with the VLA at 3.6 and 2.0 cm during a full 26.5 d cycle. These observations were carried out in coordination with CGRO monitoring of its possible γ-ray counterpart 2CG 135+1.
In a 1-year survey at a university hospital we found that 20·6% (81/392) of patients with antibiotic associated diarrohea where positive for C. difficile. The most common PCR ribotypes were 012 (14·8%), 027 (12·3%), 046 (12·3%) and 014/020 (9·9). The incidence rate was 2·6 cases of C. difficile infection for every 1000 outpatients.
This study examined the effect of long-term selection of a maternal rabbit line, solely for a reproductive criterion, on the ability of female rabbits to deal with constrained environmental conditions. Female rabbits from generations 16 and 36 (n=72 and 79, respectively) of a line founded and selected to increase litter size at weaning were compared simultaneously. Female rabbits were subjected to normal (NC), nutritional (NF) or heat (HC) challenging conditions from 1st to 3rd parturition. Animals in NC and NF were housed at normal room temperatures (18°C to 25°C) and respectively fed with control (11.6 MJ digestible energy (DE)/kg dry matter (DM), 126 g digestible protein (DP)/kg DM, and 168 g of ADF/kg DM) or low-energy fibrous diets (9.1 MJ DE/kg DM, 104 g DP/kg DM and 266 g ADF/kg DM), whereas those housed in HC were subjected to high room temperatures (25°C to 35°C) and the control diet. The litter size was lower for female rabbits housed in both NF and HC environments, but the extent and timing where this reduction took place differed between generations. In challenging conditions (NF and HC), the average reduction in the reproductive performance of female rabbits from generation 16, compared with NC, was −2.26 (P<0.05) and −0.51 kits born alive at 2nd and 3rd parturition, respectively. However, under these challenging conditions, the reproductive performance of female rabbits from generation 36 was less affected at 2nd parturition (−1.25 kits born alive), but showed a greater reduction at the 3rd parturition (−3.53 kits born alive; P<0.05) compared with NC. The results also showed differences between generations in digestible energy intake, milk yield and accretion, and use of body reserves throughout lactation in NC, HC and NF, which together indicate that there were different resource allocation strategies in the animals from the different generations. Selection to increase litter size at weaning led to increased reproductive robustness at the onset of an environmental constraint, but failure to sustain the reproductive liability when the challenge was maintained in the long term. This response could be directly related to the short-term environmental fluctuations (less severe) that frequently occur in the environment where this line has been selected.
The linear instability and breakdown to turbulence induced by an isolated roughness element in a boundary layer at Mach
$2. 5$
, over an isothermal flat plate with laminar adiabatic wall temperature, have been analysed by means of direct numerical simulations, aided by spatial BiGlobal and three-dimensional parabolized (PSE-3D) stability analyses. It is important to understand transition in this flow regime since the process can be slower than in incompressible flow and is crucial to prediction of local heat loads on next-generation flight vehicles. The results show that the roughness element, with a height of the order of the boundary layer displacement thickness, generates a highly unstable wake, which is composed of a low-velocity streak surrounded by a three-dimensional high-shear layer and is able to sustain the rapid growth of a number of instability modes. The most unstable of these modes are associated with varicose or sinuous deformations of the low-velocity streak; they are a consequence of the instability developing in the three-dimensional shear layer as a whole (the varicose mode) or in the lateral shear layers (the sinuous mode). The most unstable wake mode is of the varicose type and grows on average
${\sim }17\hspace{0.167em} \% $
faster than the most unstable sinuous mode and
${\sim }30$
times faster than the most unstable boundary layer mode occurring in the absence of a roughness element. Due to the high growth-rates registered in the presence of the roughness element, an amplification factor of
is reached within
${\sim }50$
roughness heights from the roughness trailing edge. The independently performed Navier–Stokes, spatial BiGlobal and PSE-3D stability results are in excellent agreement with each other, validating the use of simplified theories for roughness-induced transition involving wake instabilities. Following the linear stages of the laminar–turbulent transition process, the roll-up of the three-dimensional shear layer leads to the formation of a wedge of turbulence, which spreads laterally at a rate similar to that observed in the case of compressible turbulent spots for the same Mach number.
Cardiac disease is the main cause of death in men and women in México and the U.S.A. When heart muscle suffers an injury, i.e. cardiac infarction, the tissue dies and is replaced by a fibrotic scar that does not allow for normal organ function. To alleviate scar tissue, the objective of this work was to investigate and synthesize polyurethane ureas from polycaprolactone diol, methylene bis(4-cyclohexilisocyanate), and butanediamine with different hard segment contents, characterize them, and prove their biocompatibility by seeding SCA-1+/CD45- cardiac progenitor cells obtained from mice cardiospheres. Ultimately, this work aims to explore how polyurethane urea elastomers can aid in therapeutic cardiac tissue regeneration.

The desire for a new digital camera continues to grow. I can't decide which camera would suit my needs. I would like a digital SLR but I don't think I could bring myself to spend that much money on a digital camera. I know it would replace my N80. It would eliminate my need to go to a mini-lab. It would remove the frustrations at the mini-lab. Oh the joy it would bring. But, I digress. I need to do some research to find me a digital that costs less than the digital SLR's. I'm looking at Nikons, Canons, and Olympus. Looks like I'll be spending some time over at DPreview.com. I need to compile a list of requirements and then list some likes/dislikes for some cameras I suppose. Here are a few that I'm looking at:
After a couple months of research, I decided on and bought the G3 in November and I've loved it since then. All the pics on my site are taken with that.Posted by: Vernon at April 25, 2003 10:25 PM

Wikipedia fails to bridge gender gap
Just 20pc of Wikepedians who update the web site are women, and outgoing executive director laments her failure to solve the imbalance
Search "abortion" on Wikipedia's English version and you will find a page called "Abortion-rights movements". It has been edited 40 times since it was created - mainly by men.
"C'mon, guys are arguing about what's in that pregnancy article - are you kidding me?" said Sarah Stierch, 32, a former Wikimedia Foundation member who was given the task of examining the gender gap within the Wikipedia world.
There is a similar story for the entry on rape. Indeed, men dominate Wikipedia when it comes to most topics.
The lack of women's contributions has been a hot topic at this year's Wikimania conference in Hong Kong, which ends today.
Stierch was recruited in 2011 by Sue Gardner, executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, which employs 150 people to run 13 non-profit information-sharing projects, including Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wiktionary.
Gardner, the organisation's highest-ranking woman, yesterday confirmed she will leave the foundation in December because she believes there is a bigger job at hand, protecting the freedom of the internet.
That stubborn gender gap, however, remains a disappointment.
"I didn't solve it. We didn't solve it. The Wikimedia Foundation didn't solve it. The solution won't come from the Wikimedia Foundation."
Instead, she said, it had to be solved by the community it served, with women stepping forward to take a more active role.
Gardner accepted the job in 2007 and had no idea of the gender imbalance in the Wikipedia world until a Wikiwomen gathering in Taipei later that year.
She was shocked to find there only 11 of the 400 participants were women, and only one was a parent. "It seemed likely that the kind of women who got involved with Wikipedia were in some ways not similar to the population of women as a whole," Gardner said. "There was something unusual about them."
According to organisers of this year's Wikimania, by July 30 women accounted for only 20.9 per cent of registrations online.
Gardner thinks that with the medium dominated by highly educated males and relying on word-of-mouth to expand, it will never "naturally grow to be as diverse as it otherwise could have been".
Also, she said in the very limited leisure time women had, they tended to be more involved in social activities instead of editing Wikipedia.
"Women see technology more as a tool they use to accomplish tasks, rather than something fun in itself," Gardner said.
The Wikipedia Foundation has tried various ways to encourage women's participation. It developed Visual Editor - a more blog-like, user-friendly editorial tool - and created GLAMWiki targeting women working in galleries, libraries, archives and museums. Gardner has even written editorials on the gender issue.
But to little avail.
"There are only 1,500 articles about women scientists in Wikipedia. We are missing at least half of them," said Emily Temple-Wood, a 19-year-old student from Loyola University in Chicago. She has been writing about female scientists on Wikipedia since middle school.
Gardner's departure and the likelihood of her successor being a male worries some female Wikipedians. They fear that without her influence and with one less woman on the board, the gender gap will widen.
Gardner disagrees. She sees it as a mission in which everyone has a role to play.

BALTIMORE -- The 80-year-old man was sick and alone. His home was a psychiatric hospital. He was taken there after he tried to commit suicide. And now he needed treatment for lung cancer.
But it was determined that he was not alert enough to consent to medical care. And his daughter, according to court records, refused to get involved. The man needed help.
The Maryland Office of Aging stepped in, filing a petition to become his guardian. A judge approved an order limiting the agency's authority to make decisions on the man's medical treatment.
The case was a typical one for the agency, which, under Maryland law, can become guardian for those over the age of 65 who have no one else willing or able to take the job.
When this petition was filed in 1980, the office handled all public guardianships in the state out of its central Baltimore office.
But during the past three years, the state office has decentralized, calling on area agencies on aging in each of the 23 counties and the city of Baltimore to handle local public guardianship cases.
The aging office received a $242,000 state allocation this year for its guardianship unit. It generally pays local aging offices $1,000 a year for each case in which the ward lives at home, in foster care or in a community shelter, and $500 annually for hospital or nursing home cases, said Joyce Thompson, who until this summer headed the agency's public guardianship unit.
That money is used for salaries of case management workers. The amount is usually adequate, although some large jurisdictions with heavy caseloads believe that they need more money, said Janice Brzezinski, the Office on Aging's manager for institutional and protective services.
Suzanne Wilbur of the Montgomery County Division of Elder Affairs said her office receives $9,300 in state funds annually for guardianship work but pays a full-time social worker a salary of up to $30,000. The office is responsible for about 20 wards, she said.
Montgomery County provides additional money, she said, but other areas do not have the money.
About 220 elderly people are under public guardianship across the state, and about three-fourths are in nursing homes, Brzezinski said.
As many as 85 percent of elderly people under public guardianship have families, Thompson said.
Officials in the public program say they also conduct investigations and, when possible, make sure that prospective wards understand what is at stake under guardianship.
"Our philosophy is {that} the need for guardianship is not a black-and-white issue and that the person's dementia may enable {him} to make some decisions and not other decisions. So the determination that the person has dementia is not an automatic matter for guardianship," said Marjorie Richmond of the Baltimore County Department of Aging, which acts as public guardian in that jurisdiction.
Once a public guardianship is established, it comes under the scrutiny of a Disabled Persons Review Board in the jurisdiction, which makes recommendations to a court.

I've not seen ONE (positive) Undertaker post worth taking seriously, yet.
Yeah, they all pretty much say that he's awesome because he's the deadman and has been around for 20 years
Thats the first semi-convincing argument I've seen so far. Most just stop with his Wrestlemania streak.
Most of those WrestleMania matches don't really hold up against time anyway. He's another guy who is extremely overrated right now, like Shawn and Bret
Whoa, whoa, whoa.. don't bad mouth Bret Hart.
What, this year or overall? Because you're probably staring at the floor when you browse WrestleZone if it's the latter.
I'm not bad mouthing him, he's just extremely overrated right now.
Ice your knuckles after you're done gripping my coat tails, Will, they look sore...
A good Taker argument? Let's see.
Won 7 world titles.
Beat Hogan during Hulkamania.
Consistently been pushed at least at the upper midcard level for nearly 20 years.
There's a good start.
You're mental, that's your problem.
He's over 6'6" and is a gimmick wrestler, so he obviously sucks.

Critical Success Factors and Critical Barriers for Software Process Improvement: An Analysis of Literature
In this paper we present findings from our recent literature survey of critical success factors (CSFs) and criticalbarriers that impact software process improvement (SPI) implementation. The objective of this survey is tosummarise the issues that play a positive or negative role in the implementation of SPI programmes and toidentify the key factors. We have analysed 50 published experience reports, case studies and papers that reportthe results of quality or SPI initiatives. We analysed the experiences, opinions and views of practitionersthrough the literature in order to identify the key factors that have a positive or negative impact on theimplementation of a SPI programmes. We identified 5 key factors (senior management commitment, staffinvolvement, staff time and resources, training and mentoring, and creating process action teams) that aregenerally considered critical for successfully implementing SPI. We also identified 6 key barriers (lack ofresources, time pressure, inexperienced staff/lack of knowledge, organizational politics, staff turnover and SPIgets in the way of real work) that can undermine the implementing of SPI. We found that the CSFs for theimplementation of SPI do not change significantly over time. Our results also provide advice to SPI managersand practitioner in what CSFs and critical barriers to address when developing SPI implementation strategies.

TOKYO — Toyota Motor said Tuesday that its profit surged 34 percent in its latest quarter as its popular RAV4 sport utility vehicle, Yaris subcompact and Prius hybrid continued to take American market share from Detroit's struggling automakers.
Toyota also announced it would buy a 5.9 percent stake in the smaller Japanese carmaker Isuzu for an undisclosed price in an apparent bid to strengthen its position in fuel-efficient technologies. In a statement, Toyota said the companies would jointly develop alternative fuel engines as well as diesel engines, an area in which its rival Honda now has the lead.
Toyota, Japan's largest automaker, said a weak yen and cost cuts also helped offset rising steel and other material prices.
It said that net profit in the three months through September rose to ¥405.7 billion, or $3.44 billion, on sales of ¥5.83 trillion. A weaker yen helps sales by lowering the price of a company's products overseas.
The company also showed itself on track to overtake General Motors as the world's largest carmaker as early as next year, raising its sales forecast to 8.47 million vehicles in the current fiscal year, which ends March 31. GM, which has suffered falling sales, said it sold 9.2 million vehicles last year.Continue reading the main story
The strong gains came despite a rising number of recalls that have dented Toyota's reputation for sterling quality. The quality problems have appeared as the company struggles to keep pace with surging global demand for its vehicles, say analysts.
Toyota reported strong gains in both the United States and Europe, as higher gasoline prices attracted buyers to its fuel-efficient vehicles. The company said it would open its seventh auto plant in North America in 2008 and was considering an eighth factory, in contrast with GM and Ford, which have been closing plants amid mounting losses.
Toyota said it still expected to sell 9.8 million vehicles in 2008 after redesigns this year of its two top-selling vehicles, the Camry and Corolla sedans. It said it expected to sell three million of those vehicles in North America, Toyota's largest market.
Toyota raised its full-year net profit forecast 18 percent to ¥1.55 trillion. The company also said it expected its annual operating profit, which reflects the earnings of its core auto business, to reach ¥2.2 trillion, or $18.7 billion. That sum is almost equal to GM's entire market value of $19.6 billion.
In North America, the world's largest auto market, Toyota said its quarterly vehicle sales rose 19 percent to 717,000.

Toyota's market share, which passed Ford's for the first time in July, rose two percentage points to 15.2 percent in the first 10 months of this year, while GM and Ford both lost ground, according to Autodata.Continue reading the main story

Social enterprise "Balans +" was founded by the Association of women with disabilities SHYRAK Public Association ( hereafter the "Association") in 2008. "Balans +" provides services in centralized accounting for small and medium-sized businesses in Almaty and Almaty oblast. The staff of the enterprise includes members of the Association, namely six young women with disabilities who are qualified accountants and economists.
The idea to create such an enterprise had long been in the air. Firstly, employment of women with disabilities is one of the key strategies of the Association. Secondly, the Association needs income-generating activities to give it financial sustainability, which is also one of the strategies of the Association.
In 2008 Lyazzat Kaltaeva, Chair of the Association, completed a 1.5-month training course on Labour Rehabilitation of People with Disabilities organized by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Thanks to the training and experience received in Japan in relation to employment of people with disabilities she was able to design a project called Bridge which was aimed at creating a model of employment with an emphasis on delivery to the public of professional, qualified services by women with disabilities.
A plan was developed under the said project to pool start-up funds and resources for the new enterprise to begin operating. First computers were donated by BankTsentrKredit JSC and BTA JSC. The purchase of new computers, accounting software 1C-Accounting and advertising was financed by an interest-free loan provided by Counterpart Consortium Inc. under its PRIDE Program.
At present social enterprise "Balans +" employs six qualified specialists who are women with disabilities. "Balans +" provides the following services to public associations, limited liability partnerships and individual entrepreneurs:
Commissioner for Human Rights in the Republic of Kazakhstan

Superb Ideas To Help You In House EnhancementYou might have heard people tell you how to do the jobs on your home, but you can find out on your own. Home improvement can take a lot of time and effort but it is worthwhile. There are great tips ahead to help you out.
When planning a home renovation with your contractor, be honest about your budget. While many homeowners fear that they will get ripped off by a contractor if it is known how much money they have to spend, the reality is that being honest will get you better results. The contractor is free to budget for better work and higher-quality materials if they know your true cost ceiling.
If you have watercolor paintings hanging in your home, try to place them where they do not receive direct sunlight. The sun, or any bright light, will cause the colors to fade over time. Your treasured paintings may lose their vibrancy--and value. Keeping them out of the sunlight will help preserve their colors.
The proper tools make the difference when completing a home project. The right tool makes the doing much faster, easier and ensures that the job is done right. Also, knowing the right information changes how the job is done, too.
waterproof blinds loves a nice bathroom. You can do this by getting a new sink or toilet and getting nice new cabinets. Updating your bathroom is one of the best ways to improve your home and it will also increase the net price on your house selling it on the market.
If you're thinking about putting down carpeting for your home, make sure to choose carpeting in dark colors only. Light colors such as beige, white, or light brown tend to pick up dirt and stains, making your carpeting appear cheap and used. Opt for colors like dark green or dark brown to hide what shouldn't be seen and prolong the life of your carpet.
When you are painting your home be sure to use drop cloths or some other type of fabric to catch the paint. If there are paint drips all over floors then it will give buyers a reason to ask for a lower price or prompt them to choose another property.
If your home is filled with old-style brown wooden doors, do not try to brighten them up with paint. The effort involved will not be worth it. It could take three or four coats of paint to cover the brown wood. You're better off simply buying a new white door instead.
If your bedroom is looking a little old and worn out, you can put new curtains up to add a splash of color and to bring a touch of freshness into your bedroom. New curtains are a cheap way to bring your room back to life with color and life.
When you replace old equipment during a home improvement project, always try to get the most energy-efficient replacements you can afford. In many cases, a slight extra expenditure gets you appliances or building materials, that are far more efficient than the bargain-basement options. These little extra outlays will be quickly offset by reduced energy and heating bills.
If you would like your living room or dorm to have a contemporary clean feel to it, opt to buy a sofa with minimal cushioning and long, lean lines. Choose the sofa in a bold color such as black, red, or beige to make a statement in your area. You can dress it up with some zebra print or striped decorative pillows.
Give your kitchen cabinets a brand new look with paint. This is a very inexpensive way of updating your kitchen cabinets. Remove roman blinds ireland and thoroughly clean all surfaces with denatured alcohol to get rid of dirt and grease. Apply a coat of primer: this should take about an hour to dry. Use a latex or oil paint, and choose a gloss finish, as this stands up well to scrubbing. If the paint you are using is roughly the same shade as the original, you may be able to get away with one coat of paint over the primer. Your cabinets will look brand new again!
If the outside of your home is looking a bit drab and old, why not put new outside light fixtures up. There are a lot of outside light fixtures available on the market and they all have something special. Putting a new light on your home adds a touch of class, elegance and style.
Use no-VOC paint when painting your house. These paints are environmentally friendly and don't contain the harsh chemical ingredients found in traditional house paints. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1otOMeGFsAhYvaAK2EH5Ay3JEXPGCBIQ1/view?usp=sharing are only a few dollars more and they spread and wear as well as any traditional paints.
Is your kitchen looking a little bland? One way to make your kitchen look good again is to put in new kitchen faucets. New faucets can make your kitchen really glow. Faucets add a touch of style and elegance to your home and are relatively inexpensive, making them an affordable way to add class to your home.
When planning your kitchen, make sure your stove and your refrigerator are not right next to each other. If you set them side-by-side, they will both have to work too hard. You will waste energy and get less life from your appliances with this arrangement, and neither will perform optimally.
Make sure you have a solid plan when getting ready to do home improvements. You need to plan a budget, the changes you would like, and the amount of time you need to invest prior to doing any work. This will save you time, money, and problems in the long run.
If you have chosen to replace your roof with a metal one and need a vent there are different types that you can use. For each type of roof type you will need to choose the one that will be the most efficient for you. Do your research and choose wisely.
Learning about home improvement takes time and effort, even if you already have some ideas about how to go about it. There's always more to learn and skills to hone. With these helpful hints in mind, you can apply your knowledge toward becoming an expert in home improvement.

MozFest 2015: Gamification for a better understanding of the world
I was an avid gamer when I had the luxury of time, which is not an affordance you can indulge when you go to Northwestern.

Newsroom love stories start with collaboration and communication
This twice-weekly exchange has been going on since my first editor's meeting two years ago when I first joined the editing team of North by Northwestern, Northwestern's online student-run news magazine: "We're going to do a story on the architecture on campus for this Sunday," a section editor declares excitedly at the editorial meeting.

What if articles modified themselves based on an individual reader's needs? What if, rather than building news applications and interactive graphics that rely on user input, the content was...

You probably know that the highest hut in Europe is Margherita Hut. And it will be the main objective of this fantastic 3-day climbing trip in the mountains!
At 4559 m, this mythical hut offers unbelievable views ranging from the Maritime Alps to the Bernen Oberland, from the 4000 Swiss peaks up to the Central Alps. Spending the night at the highest hut in Europe gives you the possibility to admire the sunset and sunrise from one of the most panoramic points of the Alps.
During this program it will be possible to reach the summits of Punta Zumstein, Punta Parrot, Ludwigshoe, Swarzhorn, Balmenhorn and Punta Vincent. Therefore, we will climb up to 6 peaks over 4000m!
The ascent to the hut does not have particular technical difficulties. In fact, it takes place through great glaciers (sometimes large crevasses are present) on gentle slopes. The steepest part (35°) is just on the last step before the summit. In addition, the ascents to the other peaks involve overcoming slopes up to 45° on snow and ice. Plus there are short sections on the ridge.
Did you find this program tempting? Then please contact me for more information, I will be waiting for your message! And I also offer an option if you want to ski in the area during the spring, check it out!

Hello everyone! It's been a good few years since I've posted anything on this site, I'm hoping to become more than acquainted with it again in the upcoming years.
I'm a musician, more specifically a rapper, and it has long been my dream of mine to reach heaven by making a living off entertaining and my creative 'ventures! A.k.a. "Things I love!~" In order to share the love, I aim to make quite more than a living actually...
Anyways, I simply adore writing! - I'm a lyricist at heart, and a vocalist second! I play the piano and am determined to pick my 88-key midi keyboard back up again and resume my piano lessons and progression!~ Becoming more ambidextrous has always been something I strive for! - Just another reason to play the piano!~
I'm 23 now, I thought I would be farther in life by now, yet my skills are impeccable, I'm restless, and filled with potential! At 18 years young I decided to live this life no matter what. Nothing has changed, but like everyone around me - I'm wondering where my music is!~~
I spent 3-4 years developing my craft, trying to find studio space late 2011-Dec 2015! - Finally, a godsend, after 3 failed attempts at places / spaces!~... - My stepdad, who is an exceptional handyman to say the least, built this awesome room that I now use as a bedroom studio space!~ I financed most of the construction materials, however, for the labor and happening, I am eternally grateful!~ It's a miracle I'm currently in this room, no doubt!~ During the year of 2016, I was intoxicated with the ability to stream and sing during all hours of the day!~ I spent that year becoming popular on twitch.tv (which provided me income), planning my future, especially musically, and dating women!~ I stopped streaming heavily in order to become established as an artist by releasing my first music project, "In The Rough!"
As for 2017...This past year has been an excerpt from HELL!~ More accurately, it has been - what I hope - will be: "The worst year I've ever experienced in my life!"
What I mean is, some unforeseen issues in my life cost me valuable time, money, and resources, throwing me behind schedule. Financially, socially, professionally... I lost some gear due to someone...I won't name names... I suppose it is my fault for letting it get to this point just as much as anyone who imposed upon it I suppose!~
I am currently unemployed and going job hunting next month, I recently stopped blazing THC...due to the fact I am lean It will take around 30 days to leave my system completely. Must I?
Vaping is my preferred method...my vaporizer charger among some of the gear was sabotaged... I digress...
Despite how some of this background info may seem like complaining... I'm not here to make excuses!~ - I'm here to move forward!!~ - I need my victory!!!~ Whatever it takes - I'm ready!~
While I was living out a chapter from hell and dealing with it's obstacles, I decided to split my mixtape into two parts, in order to provide my patient fans with some content!
Thus, the no-feature mixtape "In the Rough, Part 1," was born! Almost a month ago now I finished my "In the Rough, Part 1" mixtape!... At least, lyrically!~...
All that there is left to do before releasing my first mixtape to the public, establishing myself as an artist / rapper, and forevermore living a more stable, enjoyable, and beautiful life... Is to mix and master said project!~ (Or finish it...)
I have recorded every song (More than one take for each section/song), and have attempted to edit, mix, and master, most of the tracks! (6 songs, each varying from 2~7 minutes long; not including the intro, outro, or skits!) I also have a bunch of social media ready to post at the push of a button!~ (Facebook page, soundcloud, datpiff, twitter, youtube, etc.)
I still have a few skits to record, the outro, and some most likely - some verses I want to do again, etc.
Yours truly... Excitement-filled, enthusiastic, and naive - may have stirred some doubt among my fan base by voicing some goals that I have had,that were in retrospect, too high! Lol. After dropping this first project I'll never again talk of dropping anything until they're completely done. I hope to remedy all and begin anew, stronger, forevermore with the release of this project! Given an hour, I end up mixing and mastering for 20 minutes and then writing for 40 minutes! It's clear what I prefer, I've always been the type to choose a specialty and pour time into it... Jack of all trades, master of none?... No thank you! Regardless, I will finish my attempt at editing, mixing, and mastering myself to the best of my ability and release "In the Rough, Part 1," within the first two weeks of September regardless! My soul needs this to be done and complete! To walk outside claiming, undeniably, to be a rapper, with a project available for listening is my next milestone and long overdue!~
All the people that are connected to me are anxiously awaiting it's arrival. Questioning me basically. *Laughs lightly*
There has been some unforeseen company surrounding my studio space ever since January of this year....
My grandma has been visiting in the room next door that I show in the video, since the beginning of this month... She is leaving around Sep. ~10th. - There have been too many times I've involuntarily kept the noise level down for my family's convenience, or to ease my guilty conscience!~ Which I aim to alleviate by improving the acoustics in my echo-heavy room!~
I really want this first project to be out or "damn-near close to being out" by ~Sep 16th! I will do whatever it takes on my part!!!~ I would happily welcome some feedback, help, or assistance / collaboration from any experienced audio engineers concerning: The acoustics of my room!~ - And possibly: Help or insight with editing, mixing, and mastering my "In the Rough, Part 1" mixtape!~
Here is my attempt at editing, mixing, and mastering the intro song "Living My Dream!" This may not be the final version, but I did want to showcase my skills a little, especially for people interested in collaborating! I have 6 songs done lyrically for my "In The Rough, Part 1" mixtape, spare editing, mixing, and mastering! The duration's of the song are:
1. 2:05
Living My Dream by D-Range | D Range | Free Listening on SoundCloud
2. 4:31
3. 3:41
4. 4:14
5. 6:38
6. 5:26
A "Thank you!" - In advance, to anyone who could please use the items listed, shown, and mentioned: (Blankets?! Blankets everywhere!!!) to give feedback or answer to my "5 questions!"
Video of Studio Space and some items:
- My room is 14-16ft. l x w x h. (15ft. x 15ft. x 15ft.) - Very much a square, however, the room does slightly slant!!! - Decreasing in height starting from the opposite side of my grandma's door. The height of the room is smallest on the side of the room that my grandma is in!~
- The flooring is vinyl. Concrete is underneath.

My 5 questions are:
1. What would be the ideal setup in order to best mix and master music?
- Unused Mic, where to place it and the equipped reflexion shield within the room?
- Desk Placement in the room and what desk to use. (The glass one, I'm guessing? - which cannot be folded!)
- 1 or 2 computer screen on a desk? If I place both on any desk, while attempting to arrange my two speaker monitors on the same desk, it results in the soundwaves being blocked due to the close proximity of computer monitors. Would you recommend placing the monitors elsewhere allowing me double monitors? Or simply to switch to 1 monitor when mixing and mastering?
- Placement of 5 sound absorbtion foams
- Placement of everything else? IE: Bed, dresser, pvc pipe greenscreen, 1 cardboard box filled with items, a microwave, and a laundry basket which is either empty or full of dirty clothes at any given time...
- Once again, should blankets already be assumed to be hanging on all walls, the ceiling, and "carpeting" the floor?
[I will upload a video soon showing what I suspect is the best setup I could have for mixing and mastering]
2. What would be the ideal setup for recording vocals for a song? (Singing and rapping, while standing)
- Mic placement in the room? With reflextion shield!~
- What desk to use? - And where to put it?
- Placement of 5 sound absorbtion foams?
- What, if anything else, should be on the desk along with 2 computer screens and my pre-amp?
- Placement of everything else? IE: Bed, dresser, pvc pipe greenscreen, 1 cardboard box filled with items, a microwave, and a laundry basket which is either empty or full of dirty clothes at any given time...
- Once again, should blankets already be assumed to be hanging on all walls, the ceiling, and "carpeting" the floor?
[I will upload a video soon showing what I suspect is the best setup I could have for recording vocals for a song]
3. What would be the ideal setup for vocals while sitting at the computer? (Best listener experience for when streaming, voice communicating, or skyping while I'm sitting!)
- Mic placement in room? It will be at the lowest height possible!~ - With reflexion shield?
- Desk Placement in the room? What desk to use? Where to put it?
- Placement of 5 sound absorbtion foams
- Both computer monitors, mouse, keyboard, and a webcam, on a monitor, must all be on a desk at once.
- The pre-amp used to power the mic will most likely also be the suggested desk, or at least withiin range to adjust without standing up.
- I like a trash can next to me to spit, throw stuff away.
- I want the greenscreen behind me! Either by being hung as shown on pvc pipe, or postered to a wall that the camera will be facing!
- I also like water bottles, tissue paper, and chapstick to be on my desk while playing! (We gettin' intricate here! )
- Placement of everything else. IE: Bed, dresser, 1 cardboard box filled with items, microwave, a laundry basket [Empty and full of dirty clothes at times]... (Once again, should blankets already be assumed to be hanging on all walls, the ceiling, and "carpeting" the floor?)
4. What would be the ideal setup for vocals while standing at the dresser? (Best listener experience for when streaming, voice communicating, or skyping while I'm standing!)
- Mic placement in room. With reflexion shield?
- Dresser Placement in the room, where to place other desks, glass desk cannot be folded.
- Placement of 5 sound absorbtion foams
- Both computer monitors, mouse, keyboard, and webcam on a monitor must all be on the dresser desk.
- The pre-amp used to power the mic will most likely also be on the dresser, or somewhere very close, could I use another desk nearby or my bed? Once again, the glass desk cannot be folded. Which would be best?
- I like a trashcan next to me to spit and throw stuff away.
- I want the greenscreen behind me! Either by being hung as shown on pvc pipe, or postered to a wall that my back and the camera will be facing!
- I also like water bottles, tissue paper, and chapstick to be on my desk while playing! I'll settle for near me again, desk or bed.
- Placement of everything else. IE: Bed, unused desks, 1 cardboard box filled with items, microwave, a laundry basket [Empty and full of dirty clothes at times]...(Once again, should blankets already be assumed to be hanging on all walls, the ceiling, and "carpeting" the floor?)
[I will upload a video soon showing what I suspect is the best setup I could have for streaming while standing up.]
5. What would be the ideal setup for a casual listening experience in this room? (Really 2 questions!)
A) For example, where would I put my bed, desk(with computer screen[s] on it), and speaker monitors relative to the room, and all other items, if I wanted to watch shows alone from the bed?
B) How about if I had 5-6 people in the room? All facing one way, in order to watch a show? (Viewing party!)
- 3 people on the bed shown - with stools / "APlaceToRestTheirFeet" in front of them.
- 2-3 people in the 2-3 chairs above shown in the video, placed above and below each side of the bed
- Where to place unused mic, and reflexion shield within the room.
- What desk to use and where to place it relative to the room. (Glass desk, I'm guessing! - As a reminder, it cannot be folded!)
- Where I should place my 2 SPEAKERS if not on the desk beside the COMP MONITOR on the desk?
- Should I place my 2 SPEAKERS beside my chosen computer monitor when on top of my dresser?
- Placement of my 5 sound absorbtion foams.
- Placement of everything else. IE: Bed, pvc pipe greenscreen, 1 cardboard box filled with items, a microwave, and a laundry basket which is either empty or full of dirty clothes at any given time... Additionally, 1 computers screen and the dresser/glassdesk when alternative is used!~
- Should blankets already be assumed to be hanging on all walls, the ceiling, and "carpeting" the floor?
[I will soon upload a video soon showing what I suspect is the best setup I could have for a viewing party!]
Additionally, will also be creating another post in a minute under "Collaborating / Mixing and mastering" looking for a possible audio engineer to help me drive my first mixtape to the finish line as professionally as possible! This information will most likely be useful for any potential collaborators anyways!~ As stated, I do not currently have income or money to throw at one, however, after releasing my mixtape I am hoping to stream daily - or at least - much more consistently on twitch.tv/thedrange (League of Legends, simultaneously advertising for my music and collecting tips / donations.) I would of course, mention whoever helps me in the short and exclusive shout-out track that will acccompany this first body of work I'm releasing!~ I want to start doing shows / concerts showcasing my skills and making a name as an emcee using the songs on this mixtape if it would be in good taste!~
More options will open up for me progress daily, upgrade my studio, and seek income by performing potential concerts, streaming daily again, and acquiring a new day job!~
After releasing i'm hoping a schedule similar to what I had last year: VoX Exercises in the morning... (I pray for the day I can start immediately when waking up, continuing in the shower, all the way through to the kitchen and to my desk!~ Haha!) Showering, breakfast, piano, working out, writing, free-styling / additional recording, [editing and mixing and mastering if I truly undertake becoming an audio engineer,] lunch while watching something, maybe some socializing, networking, graphic art, errands, streaming league of legends for 1-4 hours... (Maybe alternating days of stream), anything I choose, and then dinner, shower, and sleep!~ Making daily progress in all chosen crafts, and incorporating a day-job asap!... Granted I don't make enough to sustain this envisioned lifestyle!~
I'm already deep into the feature heavy, "In The Rough, Part 2!"
Another project titled, "Self-Mastery" has impatiently begun to write itself as well!~
