Ismail firstname.lastname@example.com This work reports the influence of deposition temperature on the deposition of SiO2 films on silicon substrate by using chemical reaction of silicone oil vapor andozone gas at low temperature. An organic solution as a catalyst at atmospheric pressure has been used to enhance the deposition rate of SiO2. The deposition rate of SiO2 films was found to vary with the variation of the concentration of the catalyst and deposition temperature (160°C ~ 260°C). The deposited SiO2 films were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The thickness and refractive index of the as-deposited films were measured by the laser ellipsometry. FT-IR spectra of the as-deposited films were very much similar to those of SiO2 films found in literature. The deposition temperature was found to influence the deposition rate of SiO2 strongly. The maximum deposition rate was found to 17.2 nm per minute for the case of 220°C. The deposition temperature also influenced the refractive index of the films. Experimental results showed that the deposition temperature could be a major parameter for the enhancement of the deposition rate. 2016-11-19T07:49:17+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.banglajol.info/index.php/RUJSE/article/view/30361 Fabrication and Characterization of Aluminium-Rice Husk Ash Composite Prepared by Stir Casting Method 2016-11-21T11:59:46+00:00 Adnan Adib Ahamed email@example.com Rashed Ahmed email@example.com Muhammad Benzir Hossain email@example.com Masum Billah firstname.lastname@example.com Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) constitute an important category of design and weight-efficient materials. This article highlights on the work where an attempt is taken to fabricate aluminium matrix composite reinforced with rice husk ash (RHA) particles, an agricultural byproduct with high amount of silica. RHA particles, upon analysis, are incorporated into the Al matrix melt by stir casting. Magnesium (~1%) is used as a wetting agent between matrix and reinforcement. 3, 6 and 9% wt. of RHA are added into the matrix. The microstructure analysis reveals the reinforcing particle distribution inside the matrix which indicates successful fabrication of the composites. The density and mechanical properties such as strength and hardness are measured for both unreinforced metal and composites. The results found in the tests show a decrease in density with increasing reinforcement while increasing yield strength, ultimate strength and hardness of the composites with increasing reinforcement from the unreinforced condition. 2016-11-19T07:49:17+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.banglajol.info/index.php/RUJSE/article/view/30383 Study on Wear and Morphological Behavior of Electron Beam Dose Irradiated Polyoxymethylene Copolymer (POM-C) 2016-11-21T12:00:40+00:00 Md. Shahinur Rahman email@example.com Heon-Ju Lee firstname.lastname@example.com Jong-Keun Yang firstname.lastname@example.com Konstantin Lyakhov firstname.lastname@example.com Muhammad Athar Uddin firstname.lastname@example.com Polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM-C) is the most prominent engineering thermoplastic consisting of repeating carbon-oxygen bonds in the form of oxymethylene groups (OCH2). It is widely used to make small gear wheels, ball bearings, precision parts, automotive and consumer electronics. In this study, the POM-C round blocks were irradiated with 165 KeV electron beam energy in five doses (100, 200, 300, 500 and 700 kGy) in vacuum condition at room temperature. The wear rate, surface hardness and morphological properties of electron beam dose irradiated POM-C blocks surfaces have been analyzed using pin on disk tribometer, optical microscopy, nano-indenter, Raman spectroscopy, 3D nano surface profiler and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electron beam irradiation transferred the wear phenomena of unirradiated POM-C sample from the abrasive wear (plough and cracks), adhesive wear (grooving/striation, micropitting) and scraping to mild scraping and striation for the 100 kGy dose irradiated POM-C sample due to cross-linking (macroscopic networks), chemical free radicals formations and partial physical modification (smoothness), which can be concluded from tribometer, optical microscopic, SEM and Raman spectroscopic observations. It also reduced the surface wear rate and average surface roughness with increasing microsurface hardness at threshold value of cross-linking among all unirradiated and others doses irradiated POM-C blocks. The level of tribological (wear and morphology) attribute improvement relies on the electron beam irradiation condition (energy and dose rate) depending on chemical and physical factors of polymeric materials. 2016-11-19T07:49:18+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.banglajol.info/index.php/RUJSE/article/view/30384 Effect of Cu content on the Electrochemical Corrosion Behavior of Peak-aged Al-6Si-0.5Mg Alloys in Sodium Chloride Solution 2016-11-21T12:03:26+00:00 Abul Hossain firstname.lastname@example.com M. A. Gafur firstname.lastname@example.com Fahmida Gulshan email@example.com A. S. W. Kurny email@example.com The purpose of this study is to understand the electrochemical corrosion behavior of 1wt% Cu content Al-6Si-0.5Mg alloy in 0.1M NaCl solution. The potentiodynamic polarization curves reveal that 1wt% Cu content alloy is less prone to corrosion than the Cu free alloy. The EIS test results show that corrosion resistance or polarization resistance (Rct) increases with the addition of 1wt% Cu to Al-6Si-0.5Mg alloy. Higher polarization resistance (Rp) has been obtained with the addition of 1wt% Cu to the Al-6Si-0.5Mg alloy. Due to addition of Cu and thermal modification, the magnitude of open circuit potential (OCP), corrosion potential (Ecorr) and pitting corrosion potential (Epit) of Al-6Si-0.5Mg alloy in NaCl solution were shifted to the more noble direction. 2016-11-19T07:49:18+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.banglajol.info/index.php/RUJSE/article/view/30385 Friction and Structural Responses of Ion Implanted Polyoxymethylene Copolymer (POM-C) 2016-11-21T12:08:32+00:00 Md. Shahinur Rahman email@example.com Konstantin Lyakhov email@example.com Jong-Keun Yang firstname.lastname@example.com Muhammad Athar Uddin firstname.lastname@example.com Muhammad Sifatul Alam Chowdhury firstname.lastname@example.com
Polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM-C) round block was implanted with 120 KeV ions of He to doses of 5 x 1016 and 1 x 1016 ions cm-2. It was also implanted with 120 KeV ions of Ar + He and He + Ne to dose of 1 x 1016 ions cm-2, respectively. The friction coefficient behavior of both implanted and unimplanted POM-C blocks was investigated using a ball on disk tribometer mechanism. The friction coefficient of He ion implanted POM-C block at a dose of 5 x 1016 ions cm-2 is lowest compared to all unimplanted and others ions doses implanted POM-C blocks. It also shows the moderate surface texturing (atomic rearrangement), lower surface micro-hardness and average surface roughness compared to both unimplanted and other ions doses implanted POM-C blocks due to well adjusted carbonization, cross-linking and ions-target atoms collisions, which is ascertained from SEM-EDS, Raman spectroscopic and surface profiling observations. The other ions doses implanted POM-C blocks demonstrate the higher friction coefficient and surface roughness with polymer surface deformation (crazing, cracking, pitting and gas evolution, bond breaking) due to severe chain scission, surface dose delivered atomic displacements and chemical structural degradation. It is concluded that the variation in friction coefficient behavior of POM-C block resulted from its structural response for ion beam implantation on the top surface.

Obaidul Haque firstname.lastname@example.com Md. Ibrahim H. Mondal firstname.lastname@example.com Biodegradable nature of hydrogels is highly appreciable and core expectation at present time. Cellulose and cellulose derivatives can be copolymerized in producing green hydrogels for improving the absorption performance of many adsorbent products. Hydrogels are polymeric substances and due to hydrophilic functional groups in their structure capable of holding large amount of water compared to its body mass. Crosslinking is one of the simplest reactions used to improve the physico-chemical properties of cellulose and cellulose derivatives. In the present paper an innovative cellulose based environment friendly hydrogel was experimentally synthesized as an alternative to acrylate-based synthetic hydrogels for personal care product and other absorption purposes. The cellulose based hydrogels were prepared by free radical graft copolymerization reaction of cotton with acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM) using N,N-methylne-bis-acrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker in the presence of initiator potassium persulphate (K2S2O8) system. The maximum water absorption capacity of the prepared hydrogels were 50 g/g in deionized water. Optimized preparation condition was invstigated depending on monomer concentration, initiator concentration, crosslinker concentration,pH, time and temperaturefor equilibrium water absorption which were 120%, 10%, 5%, 7, 2h and 50°C respectively.For structural characterization FTIR spectroscopy, SEM analysis, TGA and XRD technique were performed. The result ensuresthat the characteristic of prepared hydrogel can be effectively used in personal absorbent products, tissue engineering, biomedical application etc. and as adsorbent material in polluted water treatment. 2016-11-19T07:49:19+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.banglajol.info/index.php/RUJSE/article/view/30387 Preparation of Hydrophobic Poly (lauryl methacrylate-divinyl benzene) Coated Magnetic Nano-composite Particles and Their Application as Adsorbents for Organic Pollutants 2016-11-21T12:12:14+00:00 Rukhsana Shabnam email@example.com Hasan Ahmad email@example.com
This work introduces a method for the preparation of magnetic nano-composite particles coated with highly crosslinked poly (lauryl methacrylate) (PLMA), a hydrophobic polymer containing long chain alkyl groups for application in waste water treatment. The produced magnetic composite particles named Fe3O4/SiO2/P(LMA-DVB) were characterized by Fourier Transform IR (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analyses. Then the prepared composite particles were used for the removal of organic pollutants from water. The adsorption behavior was dependent on the nature of the pollutants with congo red showed highest adsorption efficiency.

Ferdous Rahman firstname.lastname@example.com Sheikh Rashel Al Ahmed firstname.lastname@example.com Golam Saklayen firstname.lastname@example.com Abu Bakar Md. Ismail firstname.lastname@example.com
Feasibility for the future electronic devices a thorough investigation on Silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) rich Lanthanum Fluoride (LaF3) film fabricated using a novel onestep chemical method has been reported here. Colloidal solution of Si-NCs in hydrofluoric acid (HF) was prepared from meso-porous silicon by ultrasonic vibration (sonication). On a silicon (Si) substrate LaCl3 solution in HCL is allowed to react with the colloidal solution of prepared Si-NCs. LaCl3 reacts with HF of Si-NCs solution and produces LaF3 crystals that deposits on the silicon substrate as a film embedding Si-NCs. This is a novel single step chemical way of depositing LaF3 insulating layer embedding Si-NCs (LaF3:Si-NCs). The XRD and EDX analysis of the deposited film show a polycrystalline and non-stoichiometric nature of LaF3. The presence of Si-NCs was confirmed by SEM. Application of this material has been tested for low-voltage operating non-volatile memory (NVM) and Schottky junction solar cells. The Al/LaF3:Si-NCs/Al structure as NVM offered a memory window of 525 mV at a programming and erasing bias of 2V. LaF3:Si-NCs films showed strong light absorption. Current-Voltage (I-V) characteristics of the Schottky device in ITO/LaF3:Si-NCs/Al structure showed a dependency on the incident light intensity where current was varied in the range of 5 mA to 40 mA and under various light illumination i.e., 400 lux to 1200 lux. Experimental results show a lot of promise of Si-NCs-rich LaF3 film to be used as an insulating film in non-volatile memory as well as a photoactive material in Schottkey junction solar cell.

Iron oxide magnetic particles have become a promising research field in separation technology because of their easy separation by external magnetic field and can be applied for the removal of toxic metals from waste water. Highly cross-linked Fe3O4/P(S-DVB) particles were prepared in this research by suspension polymerization of styrene (S) and divinylbenzene (DVB) in presence of nanosized Fe3O4 particles. At first Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation of Fe2+ and Fe3+ from their alkaline aqueous solution. To stabilize the magnetic particles, the surface of the particles was modified with oleic acid. The morphology and surface structure were characterized by Fourier Transform IR(FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), and light microscope.The adsorption behavior of As(III) on composite polymer particles was evaluated and a comparative study with reference copolymer particles revealed that composite polymer particles possessed better adsorption capacity.

In biofuel technology from microalgae, the main optimal factors for microalgae cultivations are light, CO2 and temperature. As microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms thus they convert sunlight, water and CO2 to algal biomass. We consider a two phase flow for CO2 and Microalgae suspension to understand fluid dynamics phenomena after injecting CO2 gas inside a tubular Photobioreactor (PBR).The growth rate of the microalgae cell is taken as a function of available sun light at Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology (CUET) in our study. A 20.94m long and 0.025m tubular PBR is considered for the simulation. To observe the microalgae cell growth, we selected the 21st June for a bright sunny and the longest day of a year. From the simulation after day seven we observed a very slow growth for the microalgae culture. It is noted that the growth related to concentration of microalgae is increased by day length with respect to continuous sunlight. A small fluctuation of shear rate around Uloop area is also found in our simulation which may be caused to reduce the volumetric production due to cell fragility. From the velocity profile we found that, the velocity is generally higher in the middle of the tube gives a parabolic shape of the suspension flow.

These molecules protect the organism from a diverse spectrum of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoan parasites. Different studies have revealed widesequence variation within ?-defensin sequences, but the underlying evolutionary cause is not well-studied. In this study, the ?-defensin gene from 25 vertebrate species has been comprehensively collected and computationally analyzed. NCBI gene and nucleotide databases were accessed to extract meta-information about ?-defensin gene's defensin domain and leader propeptide sequences. Full coding sequences downloaded from nucleotide database by splitting out intron sequence. MEGA software used to construct phylogenetic tree using Neighbor-Joining method, which indicates that ?-defensin gene evolution does not matches with species evolution. Selection analysis was carried out using Data Monkey web-server's FEL, SLAC, IFEL, MEME, TOGGLE and REL program on both propeptide and defensin super-family codon-aligned sequences to test different hypothesises. Positively selected sites were found on both propeptide and defensin domain, but the effect of negative selection pressure was higher on leader sequences. It was found that mutations in the positively selected sites of defensin domain had stabilizing effect on protein. Phyre2 web-server was used for homology modeling of selected ?-defensin genes. Structural variation is observed on ?-defensinproteins which may indicate heterogeneous structure-function relationship between species that reflects its interaction with diverse pathogens. This study provides a new perspective on the relationships among ?-defensin gene repertoires which will help to infer its evolution. 2016-11-19T07:49:22+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.banglajol.info/index.php/RUJSE/article/view/30401 Regression Based Robust QTL Analysis for F2 Population 2016-11-21T12:24:51+00:00 Md. Jahangir Alam firstname.lastname@example.com Md. Alamin firstname.lastname@example.com Most. Humaira Sultana firstname.lastname@example.com Md. Amanullah email@example.com Md. Nurul Haque Mollah firstname.lastname@example.com This Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis is a widely used statistical approach for the detection of important genes in the chromosomes. Maximum likelihood (ML) based interval mapping (IM) is one of the most popular approaches for QTL analysis. However, it is relatively complex and computationally slower than regression based IM. Haley-Knott (HK) and extended Haley-Knott (eHK) regression based IM save computation time and produce similar results as ML-IM. However, these approaches are not robust against phenotypic outliers. In this research, we have developed a robust regression based IM approach by maximizing beta-likelihood function for intercross (F2) population. The proposed method reduces to the HK-IM method when beta ? 0. The tuning parameter beta controls the performance of the proposed method. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves performance over the existing IM approaches in the case of data contaminations; otherwise, it shows almost the same results as the classical IM approaches. 2016-11-19T07:49:22+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.banglajol.info/index.php/RUJSE/article/view/30395 Analyzing Wavelet and Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition of MRI Segmentation using Fuzzy C-Means Clustering 2016-11-21T12:26:02+00:00 Gulam Sarwar Chuwdhury email@example.com Md. Khaliluzzaman email@example.com Md. Rashed-Al Mahfuz email@example.com Image segmentation is a vital step in medical image processing. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for brain tissues extraction in white and gray matter. These tissues extraction help in image segmentation applications such as radiotherapy planning, clinical diagnosis, treatment planning. This paper presents utilization of fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering by using wavelet and bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) to improve the quality of noisy MR images. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) value is calculated from FCM clustering data to examine the best segmentation technique. The experiment with synthetic Brain Web images has demonstrated the efficiency and robustness of the appropriate approach in segmenting medical MRI. 2016-11-19T07:49:22+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.banglajol.info/index.php/RUJSE/article/view/30396 Multidimensional Markov Stationary Feature for Image Retrival Systems 2016-11-21T12:27:16+00:00 Md.

Markov Stationary Features (MSF) not only considers the distribution of colors like histogram method does, also characterizes the spatial co-occurrence of histogram patterns. However, handling large scale database of images, simple MSF method is not sufficient to discriminate the images. In this paper, we have proposed a robust content based image retrieval algorithm that enhances the discriminating capability of the original MSF. The proposed Multidimensional MSF (MMSF) algorithm extends the MSF by generating multiple co-occurrence matrices with different quantization levels of an image. Publicly available WANG1000 and Corel10800 databases are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The experimental result justifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper describes simulation of normal incidence sound absorption coefficients of perforated panels by transmission line parameters in a two-port network. Maa and Sakagami have investigated micro perforated panels, MPP. But their theories can treat only near 1 % perforation rates of perforated panels with back cavities. If sound propagates as a plane wave, sound propagation can be represented as transmission line parameters in a two-port network. Perforated panels, back cavities, and glass wool absorption materials are represented as matrix of transmission line parameters, respectively. Transmission line parameters of a perforated panel with a back cavity are calculated as multiplication of their matrices. An input impedance can be calculated from the transmission line parameters. A normal incident absorption coefficient is calculated from the input impedance. Holes of the perforated panels have losses of viscous friction and thermal conduction at their walls. Simulations are done in the condition of 0.25 mm to 5 mm diameters of holes, 0.25 % to 25 % perforation rates, 0.5 mm to 5 mm thickness of the perforated panels with back cavities in which there are or are not glass wool absorption materials. The results of these simulations are good agreements with the results of our measurements by transfer function method except in the condition of more than 1 mm diameter of holes.

Cryptographic techniques play crucial role when users exchange information. Multimedia plays an important role in learning and sharing experiences. When multimedia contents are shared among the users, it faces security threats. Usually multimedia contents takes much space. Encryption technique should be time efficient. In this work we consider four encryption techniques: Blowfish, AES, XOR and RSA and four types of media content: text, image, audio and video. Simulation shows that AES is time efficient than others. Comparing between symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, symmetric cryptographic techniques take less time than asymmetric technique.

This study proposed an enhanced time-frequency representation of audio signal using EMD-2TEMD based approach. To analyze non-stationary signal like audio, timefrequency representation is an important aspect. In case of representing or analyzing such kind of signal in time-frequency-energy distribution, hilbert spectrum is a recent approach and popular way which has several advantages over other methods like STFT, WT etc. Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) is a prominent method consists of Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert Spectral Analysis (HSA). An enhanced method called Turning Tangent empirical mode decomposition (2T-EMD) has recently developed to overcome some limitations of classical EMD like cubic spline problems, sifting stopping condition etc. 2T-EMD based hilbert spectrum of audio signal encountered some issues due to the generation of too many IMFs in the process where EMD produces less. To mitigate those problems, a mutual implementation of 2T-EMD & classical EMD is proposed in this paper which enhances the representation of hilbert spectrum along with significant improvements in source separation result using Independent Subspace Analysis (ISA) based clustering in case of audio signals. This refinement of hilbert spectrum not only contributes to the future work of source separation problem but also many other applications in audio signal processing.

In the present scenario, there has been an immense advancement in the field of wireless communication in this modern engineering world. Now-a-days Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology is an indisputable emerging technology and presents new challenges for communications engineers. The advancement of SDR system has made significant progress in recent years which makes it as a serious substitute of traditional hardware radio architectures where the mathematical procedures are obligatory to decode and process radio signals using analogue circuitry. Recently, computers have turned out to be powerful enough to do the required mathematical calculations using software. So aim of this paper is to demonstrate a RTL-SDR based spectrum analyzer which can be used proficiently as an alternative of existing hardware spectrum analyzer. This approach will lessen the complexity of analogue hardware system with the higher tractability of software based filtering and demodulation techniques. As RTL-SDR devices are quite cheap (Approximately 20$) and small sized, this system also offers cost effectiveness with provision of portability. An experimental study was conducted with suitable conditions to examine the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed system. The outcome of experimental result is thoroughly examined in this paper.

As expected, the second stage in the Ruta del Sol was decided in a mass sprint. Michael Van Staeyen sprinted to ninth place and also kept his leader's jersey in the classification of the 'meta volantes'. On Friday a short, but tough individual time trial of 16 km awaits our riders.
The longest stage in the Ruta del Sol was predictable and somewhat monotonous. Six riders escaped from the bunch shortly after the start in Seville and built up an advantage up to 7'30" over the pack. At 23 km from the finish line in Torredonjimeno they were caught. At that moment, the breakaway had already passed two 'meta volantes', after which two riders collected as many points as Michael Van Staeyen in the sprint classification.
Because Van Staeyen next finished in ninth place, far better than the other two, the guy from Antwerp kept his jersey. This is what he had to say after the stage: "Thanks to the great work of my teammates, I finished in ninth place today and I keep the sprint jersey. I missed some power in the last km because of yesterday's attack, which caused me to choke a bit in the final meters."
Tomorrow the riders face an individual time trial of 16 km. The first part is uphill, the second downhill, the last stretch is ascending again. Promising! Here are the ramp times of our riders:
- 14.13: Van Staeyen
- 14.16: De Bie
- 14.42: Reinders
- 14.50: van der Lijke
- 14.55: Boom
- 15.18: De Witte
- 15.19: Riesebeek

Soft Toys
One November 14, 1902, the 26th President of the United States of America went on a hunting trip in the Mississippi with Mississippi Governer Andrew H. Longino. After a taxing chase of both hunters and their hounds, one wild black bear was cornered and tethered. The hunting team offered the killing shot to President Theodore Roosevelt, who declined, deeming it unsportsmanlike. The incident inspired a political cartoon, where the grown black bear would be redrawn as a mere cub, and this in turn inspired the production of "Teddy's Bear" stuffed toys.
Since then, many other species have become popular stuffed toy. Beatrix Potter's rabbit characters, for example. In the 1960's, the Yamanashi Silk Company in Japan produced silk slippers and rubber sandals. Noticing the sales growth when these sandals were accessorized, the management began hiring cartoonists to make cute characters that could serve as accessories. This became the Sanrio Company. The popularity of Hello Kitty (and other friends from the Sanrio franchise, Kerokerpi the frog, and Badtz-Maru the penguin) revived a tradition of handmade knitted soft toys, made to resemble these cute baby animal characters.
In 1993, the Beanie Babies franchise launched an entire menagerie of soft toys. They had a heavy, grainy feel due to the use of plastic pellets rather than cotton stuffing. Nowadays, some popular soft toys even incorporate electric and robotic features, such as the Tickle Me Elmo, based on one of the fuzzy marionette puppets on the famous television series Sesame Street. Some soft toys have even made changes to the long tradition of imitating animals and characters, such as the Pillow Pets, which fold and can be strapped down in certain ways to turn from a soft toy into a pillow.

The Wizard World - Chapter 143
Chapter 143: Set Out (2)
Translator: Leo Editor: DarkGem/Frappe
Angele carefully sealed the scroll and laid on the bed. He had some assumptions in his mind.
'It seems that my mother and my father's relationship was not a coincidence. They met during a war in a dangerous forest. She was not hurt after the ambushes. Someone must have left her there, or maybe, she did not faint at all. The beauty of my mother blinded the Baron's eyes. Strangely enough, she was so charming that my father decided not to dig deeper about the weird encounter…'
Angele decided to analyze it more carefully.
'Mother took my brother away and left me with the Baron. What does it mean…? My brother was the chosen one, so I must have failed to meet her requirement? I was abandoned because I was not gifted? My body was weak and my talent level was low. I was just an average human being.'
Angele shook his head and put the scroll under the pillow.
Suddenly, he realized something and opened his eyes.
"The talent level for a Wizard apprentice… Yea! That's it!" He suddenly jumped up.
"There's only one possibility!"
'My talent level is 2, but I'm not related to the royal members according to my father. So, it's not a coincidence. I'm born to a noble family, but my father is just a Baron. Most of the Wizard apprentices I have met are royal members or at least inherited their blood. I don't think I just reincarnated into a random noble teenager's body and acquired the talent of a Wizard apprentice.' Angele kept analyzing.
'There's only one possible explanation to this since my father is just a top-level Knight. My mother, Kiran, is a bloodline noble. Byrons likely has much higher talent level than me, so she decided to leave me to the Baron. It's understandable since a Wizard apprentice with low talent level will consume much more resources to reach the same level than a Wizard apprentice with high talent level.'
'However, there are no spell materials here. Only Wizard apprentices who have lost their hopes would return to this land, perhaps Kiran was one of them? But why father? She stayed in the forest waiting for Baron Karl and why is it that she never spoke? Maybe her voice will reveal her identity?'
Angele sat on the bed and slowly closed his eyes once again.
'Baron Karl was already a top-level Knight when he met Kiran, but there were other Grand Knights and choosing to reproduce with them would be a much better choice. It's not hard for a Wizard apprentice to get close to a Grand Knight, yet Kiran chose to copulate with a top-level Knight. Maybe she was not a human? And she had to avoid contact with Grand Knights for certain reasons.' Angele blinked his eyes several times.
'Kiran is not a human being. She chose to reproduce with a top-level Knight and took away the son with higher talent level. That would explain why I could eat random things to increase my attributes, but my father couldn't. The blood I inherited from Kiran is the reason.'
'Zero, is there any data of a normal human's genes in the database?' Angele asked.
'Data found. Transfer?' Zero reported after several seconds.
'Transfer it to me and compare the genes with my own. I want to know if my genes are different from a normal person's.'
'Comparing… Please wait…'
Angele could feel the information being transferred into his brain and he could view the calculations done by Zero in front of his eyes.
With his high mentality, Angele could finally follow what Zero was doing in the comparison test. A great amount of information was extracted from the database and entered into the logical comparison system. Zero was calculating everything step-by-step at full speed.
After breaking the genetic limit, Angele found himself thinking much faster than before, and he would consider his actions with a calm mind. Increasing attributes brought him many benefits and this was just one of them.
His body was changing, or rather, evolving.
'Task completed. Results: 77.78% similarity. Without the ancient gene, it will be 82.12%. The number is the same before you broke the limit.'
'So… I was right.' Angele felt relieved.
"I'm only half human." Angele raised his right hand and looked at the palm. He realized that his palm print was weird. It looked like slim 'X' mark.
Angele stared at the twisted mark for a while, which looked nothing like a normal human's palmprint.
He smiled, "Whatever, I don't care if I'm a human or not. I am who I am. My father is Karl Rio and my mother is Kiran. I might obtain some clues at the address written on the scroll, but if I don't, it'll still be fine. It's my destiny."
Angele stopped for a second.
"Also, I need to look into the organization that sent Dice to assassinate the Baron. It's weird that they didn't try to track me down after I slew Dice. They didn't know the enchanted ring contained a powerful spell that could boost one's agility to an impossible number?" Angele mumbled.
He pulled the soft blanket up a bit before lying down. Angele could smell the body scent of those two girls. He relaxed for a while and slowly started meditating after.
The next morning.
Prince Justin came to pick Angele up with several carriages and a large team of soldiers.
They planned to visit the capital of the alliance, Arias, a city famous for its fresh flowers and great dancers. The parliament of the whole alliance was there as well.
It was still a bit dark outside. More than ten large carriages, hundreds of mounted soldiers, infantries, and several Knights slowly left the Marua Harbor.
Angele did not inform anyone of his departure. He sat in the largest black carriage in the middle of the team and looked at the forest through the window with no expression.
"What are you thinking? You're so quiet." Prince Justin sat on the opposite side of the table. There was a pretty girl beside him whom he was carefully arranging the hair for. It was quite impressive that he could do it so fast with his chubby fingers. The girl was one of Justin's daughters. She was the one the Prince loved the most.
Angele turned his head around at looked at Justin.
"It's just… things have changed," he spoke in a whisper.
Justin chuckled after hearing what Angele just said, "You'll get used to it. I met Master Tymoral when I was just a kid. He was my grandfather's best friend. My grandfather and my father already passed away, but Master Tymoral looks exactly like before. It's almost like he is locked in time."
The Prince finished doing her daughter's hair and kissed her cheek.
"Alright, girl. This is your favorite hairstyle."
The girl nodded as if she did not hear what Justin just said. Although she was beautiful, Angele could not see the soul in her eyes. It was one of the symptoms of dementia.
Angele glanced at the girl. She was wearing a black silky one-piece and was about 18 years old, but the only thing she did was to stay with the Prince. It did not seem like she wanted to go elsewhere.
"She's your daughter?" Angele asked.
Justin nodded.
"Isabelle is my dearest daughter, but she was born with dementia."
"Well, let me see if there's anything I can do for her." Angele wanted to pay him back for what he did several days ago. Without Justin, his revenge wouldn't have been that easy.
"It's impossible. Master Tymoral is a Wizard of Light, yet he said there was nothing he could do because Isabelle was born with brain disease." Justin shook his head, looking depressed.
Angele looked at the girl's head and asked Zero to scan her brain.
"Master Tymoral was right. It's the brain. Isabelle's brain is smaller than an average human's." Angele shook his head as well. There was nothing he could do as well because her dementia was not caused by mental illness.
Justin nodded. He must have already tried everything he could to treat her disease. His expression remained unchanged.
"Isabelle can't even finish a complete sentence. I lost my hope already, but I still want to find a good husband for her. At least someone will look after her for me if anything unfortunate happens."
Angele nodded again.
"Let's talk a bit about the city. It's called Arias, right? I never learned the system of Andes Alliance."
Justin smiled.
"Andes Alliance is founded by several countries. I'm just a Prince in one of those countries. The members of the parliament are the kings of the countries. I'm inviting you to attend a welcome party planned by the parliament because the kings want to see you. I'm just a representative of their wills."
Angele laughed. "Well, I'll only stay here for four years. There's no way that I'll stay here forever."
"Don't worry, they're not trying to force you to stay in the alliance." Justin knew what Angele was thinking.
"You won't be disappointed after we reach the city. Some records of the mysterious power were found after the war ended and were stored in Arias."
"Is that so?" Angele was a bit surprised.
"Thanks. That'd be great."

New letter from Viganò against the Pope: "Whoever is silent, consents"
Archbishop who a month ago accused Francisco of knowing, at least since 2013, the abuses of Cardinal McCarrick in the USA, writes a new letter
Carlo Maria Viganò once again attacked the Pope in a new letter in which he reaffirms that Francis knew of the cases of sexual harassment of then Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, at least since 2013. This letter comes a month after the first one, in which the archbishop accused Francis and Benedict XVI of knowing everything and having done nothing about it.
In the new missive, the former nuncio in the USA accuses: "Neither the Pope, nor any of the cardinals in Rome denied the facts that I divulged in my testimony." Qui tacet consentit ' [Whoever remains silent, consents], certainly applies here. "

Upper Eyelid Lift
Upper Blepharoplasty Before and After Photos
Why Get an Upper Blepharoplasty?
The eyes are often referred to as the windows to the soul. They are the first thing that people notice about each other and also are one of the most powerful means of non-verbal communication. When there is extra skin or puffiness of the eyes, the face takes on a fatigued appearance that can make the individual appear excessively aged and tired. The remedy for this condition is blepharoplasty.
Upper blepharoplasty, or upper eyelid lift, is a commonly performed procedure that involves removing excess skin and excess puffiness or bags from the upper eyelids. The end result is a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
The Blepharoplasty Procedure
The procedure may be done under sedation or even under local anesthesia and takes less than an hour to complete. The incisions are hidden in the natural-occurring eyelid crease. The extra skin is removed and the fat compartments that contribute to the aged and tired appearance are removed. The methods used for a particular individual depends on that individual's needs.
Recovery from an Upper Eyelid Lift
The recovery typically takes about a week, although bruising and swelling can persist for a longer period of time. Most patients can resume work within 6-10 days and normal activities within 1-2 weeks.

Thank you for visiting my page.
My name is Stephanie Michaud and I am retired 28 year veteran of the Rcmp.
I am participating in the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast to support the mission of the Canadian Cancer Society.
This year, from September 18 -27, 2019, our team of law enforcement and emergency services personnel will ride approximately 800 kilometers in order to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer.
Our 9 day bike tour will take us from the Lower Mainland to the Sunshine Coast, Sea to Sky corridor, and back.
The money raised from this event helps fund leading-edge cancer research that is improving cancer treatments, preventing cancer and saving lives; provide reliable and up-to-date information on cancer, risk reduction and treatment; offer vital community-based support services for people living with cancer and their families; and advocate for healthy public policies. Money raised for this cause also helps send kids living with cancer and their families to Camp Goodtimes in Maple Ridge BC
Please pledge me and help me reach my fundraising goal. I have personally committed to fundraising $10,000.00 for this important charitable cause and I am reaching out to my friends, family, colleagues and community to help reach this goal.
Every donation takes us one step further in the fight against childhood cancer. Online pledging is secure and it saves the Canadian Cancer Society money by reducing administrative costs. Receipts for tax deduction will be automatically issued
Thanks for your support!

DNA can reveal a lot about a person, from their ethnic background to health risks they might face in the future. But like any information, it can be as damaging as it is illuminating — if it falls into the wrong hands.
In the 2020 Legislative Session, lawmakers are looking to protect consumers from at least some pitfalls they could face if their genetic information is entered into the record, and they've got an ally backing them with a new ad campaign.
A minute-long video produced by "Protecting Our DNA" outlines the privacy concerns many lawmakers have expressed — that genetic data collected through off-the-shelf kits could be used by insurers to jack up insurance premiums.
"Jane thinks her DNA is private, but it's not," the video narrator says. "Insurance companies want to invade Jane's privacy and get a look at her genetic code. Why? The more they know about Jane, the more they can profit off her DNA. Raising her rates, reducing their risk, padding their profits."
But the ad presents a solution to the problem: Legislation filed by state Rep. Chris Sprowls and state Sen. Kelli Stargel.
HB 1189 and SB 1564 would block life insurers

The Ogden Raptors ended their first three-game losing streak emphatically Friday night, defeating the Grand Junction Rockies 13-3 to end its penultimate homestand of the regular season in front of 5,905 fans.
Grand Junction (33-34, 14-15) took a first-inning lead for the third straight night, scoring in the opening frame to go up 2-0.
But Ogden (49-19, 18-12) answered in the third inning. Jeremy Arocho singled in a run and later scored on a fielding error to tie it 2-2. Then Zac Ching and Ryan Ward each tallied two-RBI singles to put the Raptors up 6-2.
Arocho added an RBI double in the fourth for a 7-2 advantage.
Ward was just getting started. The Ogden outfielder hit an RBI double in the fifth, then a three-run homer in the seventh to put Ogden up 11-3. Ward finished 3 for 4 with six RBIs on the night.
Ching hit 4 for 5 and scored three times. Arocho finished 3 for 3 with two RBIs.
Corey Merrill, Mitchell Tyranski and Nick Robertson pitched four hitless, scoreless innings out of Ogden's bullpen. Along with starter Jeronimo Castro, Raptors pitchers totaled 14 strikeouts to two walks.
Ogden plays games in Orem today and Sunday before hosting the Owlz for four more.

Manufacturers of industrial safety equipment need to understand how their equipment is being used in the field (or in the factory) so they can make it better. Our filmed interviews were used to improve products, and the videos were shared with stakeholders and product management teams to inspire creativity.
The challenge
This global organisation came to us seeking a complete understanding of attitudes and behaviours surrounding Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) in the metal fabrication industry in Western Europe. They needed expertise in B2B research, not only to engage with safety managers and metal workers, but also gain a first hand understanding of the conditions they worked in, how workers interacted, worked with and stored their PPE, and ultimately appreciate attitudes and behaviour towards safety equipment.
The Breaking Blue solution
Our B2B research team arranged 20 visits to metal working companies (foundries, shipyards, steelworks, etc). We filmed interviews with safety managers, observed work and behaviours on the shop floor, and interviewed workers in situ. Through this ethnographic approach we witnessed first hand behaviours which otherwise would have gone overlooked, captured the attitudes of the workers, and their needs in this challenging environment.
Our video ethnography approach provided real breakthroughs in understanding at all levels of the organisation, enabling focused creativity in product design. They described our outputs as "the best use of video ethnography we have ever seen."


text: Narraticong 15 Posted November 23, 2012 I have always been very partial to my traditional red Jac-Shirt. I love to wear it to Scout functions. But Supply had those darn new green ones on sale recently at a very good price, so I went for it. I have to admit I really like the new one. I think the quality is better than my red one, considerably more sturdy. It is also a nice shade of green, such that I like to wear it out in public, not just at Scout events. It does have the Scout symbol on the pocket in black, so it still shows I am a Scouter. All in all, it was a goos purchase and I think I will keep wearing it. It will never feel as special as the red one with the Philmont Bull, but that's OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another effort at ensuring a bank or other financial entity prove it has the right to foreclose on a property was introduced Monday at the Colorado legislature.
Among other things, Rep. Beth McCann's bill, HB-1249, aims to give homeowners the right to demand proof at an otherwise useless hearing that the entity foreclosing on them is actually legally entitled to do so.
Called a Rule 120 hearing, the quickie court process by law only considers whether the homeowner is in the active military and is in default of their note — called a deed of trust in Colorado, but known by most as the mortgage.
The bill would also remove the ability of a lawyer to simply sign a document attesting their client, usually a bank, is the real holder of the note — without ever having to produce the paperwork.
Although bankers strongly deny that's the case, and are adamant that every foreclosure occurs with the proper paperwork in hand, it's all been a matter of trust. McCann says her bill gives homeowners the right to ask — and would require the district court to certify — the bank is the right one.

In 2001 to a class full of cycling students at Montecito Heights Health & Racquet Club in Santa Rosa California, I remember stating:
"Triathletes are crazy! I would never do that!"
If you are unfamiliar with the sport of Triathlon, it is three parts: 1. Swimming 2. Cycling and 3. Running in one event with no breaks in between!
You may have heard of the term Ironman; an "Ironman" has completed an "Ironman" distance triathlon that is owned by the (WTC) World Triathlon Corporation. The Ironman distance triathlon is 2.4 mile open water swim followed by a 112 mile bike ride and then finished up with a full 26.2 mile marathon. All of this has to be done in under 17 hours. The World Championships for this sport are held in Kona Hawaii annually in October where the sport was born in 1974. Since its inception numerous types of Triathlons were born, including shortening the distances to make the sport more popular for the average weekend warrior, and removing the bike and run portion "off-road" with Xterra branded races.
I was fitness instructor and personal trainer since 1989, teaching group exercise was not only my job, but my sport. Swimming only consisted of jumping into the pool when I needed to cool down from sun bathing; there wasn't a single swim cap to be found in my bag of tricks. Cycling for many years only consisted of teaching spin class. Yes, I was one of those instructors that taught cycling and didn't even own a bike. I would occasionally go out and try to run a few miles, but never with any consistency or urgency. Never falling in love with running, it was just a quick workout. I never considered myself athletic or competitive….I had no idea how fast that was about to change…
In 2001 my father gave me his purple Hybrid bike because he had just bought some fancy Trek road bike. I thought this purple Hybrid bike was pretty cool and started to cruise around the neighborhood. Then a cycling student/friend of mine suggested I do an organized ride through the wine country. Never doing anything like this, I thought it sounded like fun. The 50 mile bike ride took the better of 4 hours and every ounce of sheer willpower to finish that damn ride! How did I know that fat tires and wide handles bars on a 30 lb. bike would be a hard ride for anyone, let alone a 50 mile ride? I have no memory of ever riding the purple Hybrid bike again.
In 2002, while pregnant with my son I decided to join a gym that had a pool to help offset the enormous amount of new weight I was carrying. Not really knowing how to swim (laps) or what proper form was, I purchased a Speedo swimsuit, goggles and swim cap and jumped in. The water felt great for the first month, but I could hardly get from one end to the other without taking a break. As the weeks went on and I got bigger, my swimming got better and could easily swim the length of the pool without resting. Soon I was being able to swim laps consistently. I remember the morning I began my 36 hours of labor, I swam a mile. I was so excited to have been able to swim such a distance while I was quite pregnant.
After the birth of JD, I wanted to get back into shape fast. So many new moms do, we take it to the streets. First, just walking with the stroller or carriage, then as soon as he was big enough to sit up in the Baby Jogger, we had our daily jog around the neighborhood or local walking path around the lake. Soon the jogging got longer and longer, faster and faster. Only to be halted by flying baby bottles and cries for more food. Jogging and actual running became a new love. A way to workout, clear my mind and feel free!
At about this point, my gym closed down it's cycling room for remodeling. I had no idea what to do with myself…. So I returned to the pool and tried to swim some laps again. It was like starting over…. I could hardly make it to the end without feeling like I was going to drown. I promised myself to take it just one lap at a time.
When JD was a tad older and I trusted his father not to kill him when I left them alone, I went out bought a new fancy Trek bike and started to ride. First for just 20 or 30 minutes (I didn't want to get too far from the house in case I was needed), then as I got more confident I started to ride for 45 to an hour. I remember it was fun to get up early in the morning and head out on the quiet foggy streets for a quick 60 minute ride. The funny thing is that once I started to ride a real bike my spin classes got much better & harder! I actually understood what it meant to ride a bike and what it was supposed to feel like. I was able to translate my experience into my cycling class.
Still, at this point I would never have considered doing a Triathlon… those people were crazy!
While spending time with my friend Kim Zucco, she told me about her husband Kevin training for an Ironman. (again… you gotta be crazy!) She said, "Hey! You should totally do a triathlon!" I said, "Me? No way! I can't do that!" She went on about how the triathlons have different distances and women's only races and how I could start off with a Duathlon (Run, Bike, Run) just to see if I liked it. I said, "I don't think so, but thanks."
However…. the seed was planted.
Shortly after our conversation I caved and agreed to join them for their triathlon club (North Coast Triathlon Club) Duathlon. Needless to say… I was nervous. I remember showing up with the new fancy Trek bike that I had ridden just a few times and my girlfriend's husband the Ironman was so nice- he promptly went up to my bike, peeled off the sales price sticker and removed the reflectors, and said, "Now that is better." and he smiled and walked away.
Everyone at that race was really nice and encouraging. I remember lining up for the run with my cycling gloves on because I wanted to save time during the "Transition" (the switch between running and riding than back again to running). My girlfriend smiled, and asked me to hand over the gloves. I wouldn't need those today.
In my memory I am running as fast as I could and watching all of the other racers just pull away from me. I remember hearing other riders behind me (on their second lap) telling me to "hold my line"! My legs felt like bricks as I tried to run for the second time, and finally crossing that finish line thinking that was the most fun thing I had ever done!
Then I wanted to know how well I had done…. Suddenly I wasn't happy with just finishing, I wanted to know how I compared to the other participants…. And that's when it happened.
I had become a competitive athlete.
