Organization and Study Skills
Just as a carpenter needs the right tools (such as a saw and hammer) and basic skills (such as how to measure and cut wood) to frame a house, students need the right tools (such as notebooks and assignment pads) and basic study skills (such as reading and note-taking skills) to be successful in school.
We all know some students have problem-solving abilities which enable them to develop independently organization and study strategies. Other students however need direct, systematic instruction to develop these skills. Learning difficulties related to reading, spelling, and writing skills; concrete or abstract organization skills; short- or long-term memory; or attention deficit affect certain students' ability to self-design and independently apply study strategies. These students can learn study skills, but they need specific instruction and sufficient practice to do so.
S-miles center provides a flexible study skills model that can be taught in tutorials and small groups, as well as by you parent, to help your child become an independent learner.
- Your child finds it difficult to follow directions in class?
- Your child finds it difficult to take helpful notes?
- Your child finds it difficult to keep up with assigned work?
- Your child finds it difficult to keep a calendar for tests and exams?
- Your child finds it difficult to outline and summarize what he/she read?
- Your child finds it difficult to plan and develop a class project?
- Your child finds it difficult to review class and reading notes?
- Your child finds it difficult to prepare for an exam?
Organizational and study skills are a group of life skills essential for your child's learning in school and university that includes:
- Preparing to learn which encompasses both physical (environment, tools) and mental (attitudes, goals, priorities) aspects.
- Acquiring, processing, and retaining information which encompasses good library and Internet skills, effective reading, effective listening, taking good notes, outlining and summarizing, using memory aids, and using graphic organizers, etc.
- Applying what has been learned encompasses application of what was learnt in written assignments, oral presentations and tests. Successful test-taking requires both content knowledge (understanding of the material being covered) and procedural knowledge (how to take tests).
- Monitoring and evaluating strategy use and learning encompasses self-monitoring where the student assesses strategies used and designated goals.
Those sessions are preceded with a holistic gathering of data and assessment to identify the student's specific need where an individualized plan is developed to tackle his/her strengths and weaknesses.

The JPA specification defines its interpretation of SQL, for selecting objects from the datastore. To provide a simple example, this is what you would do
Query q = em.createNativeQuery("SELECT p.id, o.firstName, o.lastName FROM Person p, Job j " + "WHERE (p.job = j.id) AND j.name = 'Cleaner'"); List results = (List)q.getResultsList();
This finds all "Person" objects that do the job of "Cleaner". The syntax chosen has to be runnable on the RDBMS that you are using (and since SQL is anything but "standard" you will likely have to change your query when moving to another datastore).
In JPQL queries it is convenient to pass in parameters so we dont have to define the same query for different values. Here's an example
Numbered Parameters : Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT p FROM Person p WHERE p.lastName = ?1 AND p.firstName = ?2"); q.setParameter(1, theSurname); q.setParameter(2, theForename);
So we have parameters that are prefixed by ? (question mark) and are numbered starting at 1. We then use the numbered position when calling Query.setParameter() . With SQL queries we can't use named parameters. This is known as numbered parameters.
DataNucleus also supports use of named parameters where you assign names just like in JPQL. This is not defined by the JPA specification so dont expect other JPA implementations to support it. Let's take the previous example and rewrite it using named parameters, like this
Named Parameters : Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT p FROM Person p WHERE p.lastName = :firstParam AND p.firstName = :otherParam"); q.setParameter("firstParam", theSurname); q.setParameter("otherParam", theForename);
With SQL you can select the range of results to be returned. For example if you have a web page and you are paginating the results of some search, you may want to get the results from a query in blocks of 20 say, with results 0 to 19 on the first page, then 20 to 39, etc. You can facilitate this as follows
Query q = em.createNativeQuery("SELECT p FROM Person p WHERE p.age > 20"); q.setFirstResult(0); q.setMaxResults(20);
So with this query we get results 0 to 19 inclusive.
There are two ways to execute a SQL query. When you know it will return 0 or 1 results you call
Object result = query.getSingleResult();
If however you know that the query will return multiple results, or you just don't know then you would call
List results = query.getResultList();

21 May 2012 at 5.57pm | Comment on this article
On a wet Thursday afternoon, in the shadow of the Olympic stadium, I arrive at Gainsborough Primary School to watch a premiere of a new opera. An unusual venue, but this is no ordinary opera. It has been created by 60 Year 2 children, also known as the Best Birds School Opera Company. The Best Birds' teacher, Michelle Hepworth, took part in the Royal Opera House's Write an Opera course and tonight's performance is the result of months of work.
Excited parents and other audience members are led up to the school hall, where we're greeted by the young company's PR team, who hand us each a programme and usher us to our seats. The stage is furnished with props designed and made by the pupils; birthday presents and a cake are set on the table, bunting and balloons hang from the hall's climbing frame. Next to the stage, 10 members of the orchestra sit with xylophones, drums and hand held percussion. One of the stage crew, six-year-old Beatrice, stands up to introduce the performance: "We have been working very hard and did all of this ourselves. We hope you enjoy this performance of 'The Birthday Party'". The lighting team fade the hall lights down, and the children are ready to begin.
The opera is a 30-minute tale of a burglar who decides to break into a birthday party but is spotted by a keen-eyed neighbour. Apprehended by the police, the burglar says sorry to the guests and offers to clean up the mess he has made. He then sings an aria about the importance of forgiving others, and the opera ends with a final chorus from the guests who invite the burglar to stay and join in the party. The performance is beautifully lit by the company's lighting team, and includes projections, the use of different colours to represent characters' emotions and even a mirror ball! As well as impressive design, the production shows an amazing insight into the moral issues explored through their opera.
"I love doing painting and colouring. When I sing my body feels strong and healthy and when I am happy my heart goes happy and excited. I love opera – it makes you sing and dance. We all have a party!" - Shaquana, aged 7
Their teacher Michelle, came on the Write an Opera course in 2008 and has been creating operas with her pupils ever since. Watch her talking about her experiences of the in-school Write an Opera projects:
There are still places available on this year's course which will take place 11–18 August in Dartington, as part of the Dartington International Summer School. For an application form or more information visit our Write an Opera page or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Applications close on Friday 1 June.

The provided one-pager explains the value prop of Broadway Technology's product suite, but it needs to be a thing of beauty.
Broadway Technology
Broadway Technology provides real-time trading systems for banks and hedge funds.
The attached PDF (exported from Illustrator with editing capabilities preserved) is the starting point, but you have complete freedom to change the layout, replace graphics (other than our logo, obviously) and generally make it beautiful. Will be printed full-bleed, so no margins are necessary.
If absolutely necessary, the content may be split into two pages (to be printed back-to-back) with prominent references to the second page's content inserted on the first page. (I.e., "Read on for how BNP Paribas uses Broadway's solution for Global FX Dealing and Prop Trading").
The center arrow graphic probably needs to be redesigned, and we're open to other ideas as to how to illustrate the concept. The intention there is to show all these things that work together. The "TOC" item can actually be considered to be the arrow itself; the TOC is the thing that connects all the other items together.
- Ideally, any graphics used are vector based, but if using raster they should be 150dpi at a minimum.
- Some prospects may print their own copy from a PDF so contrast between text and any graphics behind them should be such that B&W printing will be legible.
- Results need to be submitted in a format that we can edit further and preserves vectors -- that should be Illustrator CS2 or compatible.

Public relations professionals have always been storytellers. Our job has traditionally been to identify the interesting storyline in the client's company or product and articulate that story to reporters, editors, and analysts, who in turn will report it to their audiences.
The rules of professional storytelling have changed.
Now, instead of pitching stories to the media, we are more often telling stories to help clients attract customers. More magazines are abandoning print in favor web publishing. And with this transition, we are seeing more B2B and consumer media sites that are hungry for fresh content, and fewer journalists and staffers producing articles. The void is being filled by contributors from all areas, especially PR and business. As Christopher Penn, Vice President of Marketing Technology at Shift Communications, writes:
"As traditional media either evolves or dies, the traditional media relations-only model of PR will evolve or die with it. Public relations work will transform more into earned, owned, and paid media generation, and PR professionals will find themselves increasingly doing work that transcends the traditionally rigid boundaries of earned, owned, or paid media."
As professional storytellers, trained PR professionals are in a better position to create quality content that is more relevant to our client's market audience. With the explosion of online content designed to drive SEO, our job today is to help the client tell their story in a compelling way to build audience loyalty, not just create link bait. Effective storytelling builds market audience and promotes audience loyalty by delivering relevant and valuable information.
Effective PR can drive brand messaging. If your client has a strong value story, it will influence your storyline and permeate all aspects of the client's content strategy, from the web site to social media to white papers. Smart marketers often start with the PR strategy to develop market messages that can then be applied to the rest of the marketing program.
Once you have a strong storyline, you can tell the story again and again in different formats. Repurposing content using well-thought-out messages across different media will promote a consistent brand identity and, if you do it right, engage your target market on multiple levels. What starts out as a press release or press pitch should become a blog post, white paper, social media post, or take whatever form makes sense to reinforce the message and reengage the audience.
Producing relevant content should create a customer feedback loop. As you disseminate new content through various channels you can measure customer engagement by monitoring which channels drive different kinds of traffic. The more you uncover about how your audience engages with the content, the more relevant you can make that content.
It's a brave new world for PR and that means developing new skillsets to help keep your clients' stories relevant and engaging. Think beyond the old media relations strategy and embrace audience engagement. Learn more about SEO, paid placement, new content applications and formats, and how to apply new tools to drive market awareness. Those who can adapt and shape the inbound marketing strategy will be able to demonstrate real client value in measurable ways.

On Exhibit: Monterey Bay Habitats
Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Loxorhynchus grandis
Animal Type
carnivores, scavengers of bottom-dwelling organisms, living or dead
carapace up to 6.5 inches (17 cm) in males, up to 4.5 inches (11 cm) wide in females
decorator crab, Dungeness crab; Class: Crustacea; Family: Majidae (spider crabs)
Pt. Reyes, California to Baja California in water 20 to 500 feet deep (6 m to 152 m)
Natural History
Large and slow moving, a sheep crab crawls along on long legs which are segmented by big, knobby joints. Its oval-shaped body (carapace) tapers to spinelike points on its snout (rostrum), which bends sharply downward. Spines and bumps (tubercles) cover its body. Adult male sheep crabs have more formidable claws and longer legs than females.
These animals are the largest members of the California spider crabs (Majidae).To camouflage themselves, juvenile sheep crabs decorate their carapaces with barnacles, bryozoans, hydroids and algae. Adult crabs often stop decorating themselves, and a thin film of fuzzy green algae replaces the masking organisms. Divers have seen sheep crabs walking openly on sandy seafloors.
A market exists for whole live sheep crabs and their large claws. Gillnetters gather claws from adult male crabs caught in their nets, usually killing the crabs in the process. Fishermen use traps to catch live crabs. In Southern California, fisheries for claws and whole live sheep crabs thrived in the 1980s. After a 1990 California State initiative barred the use of gillnets in shallow water, the catch of claws plummeted.
At present, trap fishermen and gillnetters supply the market, which remains relatively low. Large-scale fishing for sheep crabs is no longer economically feasible.
Cool Facts
Male sheep crabs spend the winter in deep water. In early spring, both sexes migrate to shallow water. Sheep crabs aren't social animals but, in spring mating season, divers see adult females in piles surrounded by adult males.
Since females can store sperm for multiple broods, they can continue to fertilize eggs even in the absence males. Broods can contain 125,000 to 500,000 eggs.
Like all crustaceans, sheep crabs molt, or shed, their old, too-small shell. They grow a soft shell under the old carapace, back out of it, and then take in water to expand the new soft shell. In a short time the new shell hardens and the crab has room to grow. Some species of crabs molt their entire lives, but adult sheep crabs have a terminal molt. After this molt, they're unable to increase in size or regenerate lost limbs.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A long-awaited showdown in a U.S. appeals court next week pits Argentina against a group of investors who refused to swap their debt after the country's historic 2002 default.
Argentina risks defaulting again, this time on $24 billion in restructured debt if it sticks to a vow never to comply with orders to pay so-called "holdouts" but still tries to pay the vast majority of investors who exchanged their bonds in 2005 and 2010.
Buenos Aires calls the holdouts vultures for buying the debt at a steep discount and then demanding full payment in the aftermath of the country's crippling economic crisis. The holdouts, led by NML Capital Ltd, an affiliate of hedge fund Elliott Management, and Aurelius Capital Management, counter that they're just trying to hold Argentina to its obligations and that the country has plenty of reserves to pay them.
The decade-old case has been closely followed by emerging markets investors, as the holdouts so far have managed to collect little despite winning billions in prior court judgments.
The court fight also has drawn in the U.S. government, which has filed a friend-of-the-court brief arguing that a ruling against Argentina could make it much harder for countries facing financial distress to get creditor support for crucial debt swaps.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York will hear new arguments in the case on February 27.
The appeals court in October upheld a lower court's order that Argentina should pay $1.33 billion to the holdouts because the country violated the "pari passu" terms of its bond contracts requiring that investors be treated equally.
The appeals court has frozen that payout order for now, while it takes another look at the case. The appeals judges are scrutinizing the specific payment formula outlined by U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa and how third parties, such as Bank of New York Mellon, the trustee for Argentina's restructured debt, would be affected by the payout plan.
Given the records of the two sides over the past 10 years, the appeals court's ultimate decision may not resolve the matter. Many experts predict the case could end up before the U.S. Supreme Court, though even then the high court would be unlikely to issue a final ruling until at least 2014.
The 2nd Circuit is set to hear nearly an hour's worth of arguments in the case, with lawyers for Argentina and the holdouts squaring off against one another.
The court also allotted time to lawyers for BNY Mellon and the bondholders who participated in the debt exchanges. Both have supported Argentina in its appeal, with the exchange bondholders saying holdouts should not be treated better than "innocent" creditors who took part in the swaps.
Legal experts and market analysts expect the appeals court will uphold - at least in part - the lower court's findings that holdouts are due 100 percent of what they are owed at the same time exchange bondholders get 100 percent of their coupon payments on restructured debt.
If the payout plan is upheld or modified only slightly, Argentina could find itself in a corner given prior declarations it will never pay holdouts.
That could also leave BNY Mellon, as the trustee for Argentina, in a tough spot. If BNY Mellon is ordered not to pay the exchange bondholders unless the holdouts are paid simultaneously, that could open the custody bank to a barrage of lawsuits from exchange bondholders angry they aren't getting their money.
Given Argentina's history of refusal to pay holdouts, the government could to try to circumvent the U.S. banking system and pay the exchange bondholders without paying the holdouts too.
However, Argentina's tough currency and capital controls make money transfers difficult and that too may constitute a default.
In the unlikely event Argentine President Cristina Fernandez decides to pay everyone by Griesa's formula, she still would have a major task ahead.
Fernandez would need to get the legislature to scrap or rewrite a law forbidding outright payment to holdouts or making a payment on better terms than those exchange bondholders received. That law, known as the Lock Law, also bars the reopening of the swaps without legislative approval.
Sources with knowledge of Elliott's thinking say the $20.7 billion hedge fund would discuss a settlement, but not on 2005 and 2010 exchange terms. An Elliott spokesman had no comment.
Holdout investors might get a pyrrhic victory from the 2nd Circuit if its view of the equal treatment violation of the debt contract is pinned more narrowly on the Lock Law.
Legal experts say this would allow the court to say Argentina broke the contract and must pay. However, instead of an injunction, the order would be in the form of a judgment, thereby limiting the threat to intermediary banks.

The strides Vancouver Whitecaps FC have made in just their second season as a Major League Soccer club are nothing short of incredible. And while the first team's exciting first half of the season has garnered most of the attention, the club's residency program has been equally, if not more, impressive.
Though the Whitecaps residency program has been around since 2007, it is coming off a major restructuring that has already resulted in a number of successes.
After years of competing solely in the three-month United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL) combined with international tournaments and exhibition matches, the U-18 'Caps entered the United States Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) in the fall of 2011 — as did the U-16 side in their first year within the club.
Whitecaps FC also expanded the residency program to include a pre-Academy group, which features U-13 to U-15-aged players separated into two squads — a testament to the club's focus on growth and development.
"That took a lot of work, a lot of scouting, and a lot of planning," Whitecaps FC Residency head coach Craig Dalrymple told whitecapsfc.com. "I think it's safe to say that everyone who has been involved with that process is very pleased with the outcome."
Being the first Canadian member of America's top youth academy system is an accomplishment in itself, but that did not stop the 'Caps from making an impact on the league.
The U-18 and U-16 'Caps both captured the Northwest Division titles in their respective age groups, earning a berth in the USSDA round of 32 last month in Frisco, Texas.
Despite going undefeated in group play, the U-16s fell just short of advancing to Academy Finals Week on goal differential. The U-18s, meanwhile, not only advanced to the Final 8, but made it all the way to the championship final this past weekend in Houston, Texas, coming within one goal of capturing the illustrious USSDA title.
Midfielder Ben Fisk, who netted a remarkable seven goals over the four Academy Finals Week matches, was recently recognized by MLSsoccer.com as one of five standouts from the tournament.
"We always want to improve our product; we're never complacent," Dalrymple said. "We want to better and we want to raise our standards, and we've done that."
Although the USSDA season spans nearly a full calendar year, residency players are still given opportunities to train and compete in the first team development environment, which includes both MLS Reserve League and PDL games.
"That's proven to be a key piece to our development strategy," Dalrymple said.
Already, the program has graduated striker Caleb Clarke and midfielder Bryce Alderson to the first team. Both players were named to U-18 USSDA West Conference all-star team this season.
Others, such as standout goalkeeper Callum Irving, who turned in a spectacular performance in the USSDA final, midfielder Ben McKendry, who scored in each of Vancouver's round of 32 fixtures, as well as starting centreback Daniel Stanese, are all off to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I.
It is sometimes easy to forget that players like Irving, McKendry, and Stanese are only 18/19-years-old, while most players who join MLS from avenues like the MLS SuperDraft are in their early 20s. For example, rookie striker Darren Mattocks, who spent two years at the University of Akron before joining MLS and making an immediate impact with the Whitecaps, is turning 22 in September.
Opting for the college route, whether that means heading down south or competing in the CIS, provides players more time to continue their development while staying in the Whitecaps system and training with the squad, before potentially making the jump to MLS down the road.
"The club has invested in their time, and I think there's value in that investment," Whitecaps FC head of player management and advancement Stuart Neely told whitecapsfc.com. "It might not be right now, but by the time they finish the NCAA, first team staff might throw them back in."
There's still room for improvement, according to Neely, and there always is. But the fruits of the club's efforts were on full display this season, and by all accounts, things are only going to get better.

The world's first operational weather satellite system was placed into
service with the launching of the Environmental Satellite Services
Administration (which in 1970 became the National Oceanic and
Administration, NOAA) satellites, ESSA-1, on February 3, 1966, and ESSA-2, on
February 28, 1966. The objective of this program, called the TIROS Operational
System (TOS), was to acquire global observational data routinely on a daily
basis. This system consisted of a pair of ESSA satellites in sun synchronous
(polar) orbit. The odd numbered satellites (ESSA-1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) utilized
the Advanced Vidicon Camera System (AVCS) to obtain global imagery which were
transmitted to the ESSA Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) stations at Wallops,
Virginia, and Fairbanks, Alaska. The CDA stations relayed the data to
the National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS), which later became the
National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS),
located in Suitland, Maryland, for processing and distribution to forecasting
centers of the U.S. and other nations. The even numbered satellites (ESSA-2,
4, 6, and 8) were equipped with Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) TV cameras
which transmitted television pictures directly to ground stations worldwide.
The ESSA satellites operated in orbits at altitudes of approximately 1450 km.
The second generation operational polar orbiting satellites started with
the ITOS-1 (Improved TIROS Operational System) mission launched on January 23,
1970 which combined the joint capabilities of two ESSA spacecraft; essentially,
the direct readout APT system and the global stored images of the AVCS. The
second generation objectives were to provide improved operational Infrared
(IR) and Visible (VIS) observations of Earth cloud cover for use in weather
analysis and forecasting and also to provide solar proton and global heat data
on a daily basis. ITOS-1 also carried an operational 2 channel Scanning
Radiometer (SR) providing day and night radiometric data for immediate
transmission as well as acquisition data stored for delayed transmission to CDA
stations. With an Infrared 5 channel scanner, global observation of the Earth
atmosphere and surface areas was available once every 12 hours. A second ITOS
spacecraft, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellite,
NOAA-1, was launched on December 11, 1970.
The ITOS system evolved further with the development of the ITOS-D
satellites, NOAA-2, 3, 4, and 5 and were placed into orbit in 1972, 1973, 1974,
and 1975, respectively. These had a new sensor complement to provide day and
night imaging by means of the Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR) along with
the medium resolution Scanning Radiometer (SR). The Vertical Temperature
Profile Radiometer (VTPR) for sounding the atmosphere and the Solar Proton
Monitor (SPM) for measurements of solar proton and electron flux in the
vicinity of the satellite were added.
The first spacecraft in the third generation operational polar orbiting
environmental satellite system was TIROS-N which was launched in 1978. The
third generation objectives were to provide observations for the atmosphere,
cloud cover, surface and near-surface. The TIROS-N type satellites that
followed were NOAA-A (6), NOAA-B which failed to achieve useful orbit, NOAA-C
(7), and NOAA-D. The TIROS-N system provided NOAA with the global
meteorological and environmental data required for normal operations and for
the experimental World Weather Watch (WWW) Program. The spacecraft had a new
complement of data gathering instruments. The Advanced Very High Resolution
Radiometer (AVHRR) provided day and night imaging in the Visible (VIS) and
Infrared (IR), sea surface temperature (SST) determination, estimation of heat
budget components, and identification of snow and sea ice. The TIROS
Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS) supplied improved estimates of the vertical
structure of the atmosphere. The Data Collection System (DCS) gathered
environmental data from fixed and moving platforms such as buoys and
balloons, and transmitted the data to central stations for processing and
relay to users. The Solar Environment Monitor (SEM) measured solar proton,
electron, and alpha particle densities. The data collected were stored onboard
the satellite for transmission to the NOAA central processing facility at
Suitland, Maryland, through the Wallops and Fairbanks CDA stations. Satellite
data also were transmitted in real time direct readout at VHF and S-band
frequencies to remote stations worldwide.
The Advanced TIROS-N (ATN) type satellites were NOAA-E (8), NOAA-F (9),
NOAA-G (10), NOAA-H (11), NOAA-I (12), and NOAA-J (13), the latter two
scheduled for launch in 1990 and 1991 respectively. The spacecraft was
lengthened 0.5m and the solar array was enlarged to provide additional power.
New systems were added starting with NOAA-8: the Search and Rescue (SAR)
system; NOAA-9: the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) instruments and
the Solar Backscatter UltraViolet (SBUV) radiometer; NOAA-10: ERBE instruments.

Worked in Germany? Claim your childcare benefitsGet started
Kindergeld is the state benefit given to parents of children in Germany. Foreigners living in Germany can also apply for Kindergeld (child benefits) as long as they have a valid residency permit. Residents of EU/EEA countries do not need a residence permit to apply for the benefits.
The amount depends on the age and number of children.
You may be entitled to claim the benefit if:
Even if you worked and lived in Germany but your child/children did not, you may still be able to claim the benefit.
Residents of an EU or European Economic Area country, as well as residents in Switzerland are entitled to claim child benefits in Germany.
Since 01.01.2018 you are able to claim Kindergeld (Childcare benefits) for only 6 months back in time. The date when the application is received will be taken in consideration.

Surgery may be performed to treat obstructions in the male reproductive tract or to correct abnormalities.
Surgical procedures include:
This is a microsurgical procedure used to correct obstructions in the epididymis—the coiled tube that connects the testes with the sperm-carrying tubes known as the vas deferens. These obstructions may be caused by congenital abnormalities, infections like chlamydia or tuberculosis , previous surgeries, or a vasectomy .
Varicocele Repair
Varicoceles are a common condition characterized by dilation of the veins that drain blood from the testicles. They often develop after puberty, although many are not detected until evaluation for fertility problems. Varicoceles are the most common cause of male infertility. Not all varicoceles require treatment, although most doctors recommend treating varicoceles if you are experiencing infertility. Even though they do not represent a health risk, they can contribute to deterioration of fertility over time.
This surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and consists of a small incision just below the groin. The procedure may be performed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon may use a microscope to find and preserve the tiny arteries that transport blood to the testes. Laparoscopy , which involves inserting a thin tube mounted with a video camera through a small abdominal incision, can also be used to repair varicoceles.

San Francisco has long been recognized as one of the most culturally rich cities in the entire country. Famous for its stunning landscapes, iconic cable cars, and numerous tourist destinations, San Francisco is the heart of northern California. The metropolitan area is the 11th largest in the country, with a total of 4.5 million people calling it home. The city of San Francisco hit its boom in the mid-1800s, when the gold rush caused the town to explode from around 1,000 to more than 25,000 in less than a year. After that, growth was ongoing and continual. Even after 75% of the city was damaged or destroyed during the earthquake and subsequent fire in 1906, the allure of San Francisco has resulted in the city's continual growth.
San Francisco is a large city that doesn't have extreme swings in apartment availability the way certain smaller centers might. However, the summer usually has a few more apartments for rent than the winter. If you're picky about where your apartment is, or if you really need certain amenities, you might benefit from the slightly greater selection in the summer months.
Finding an apartment can be hard, especially when there are so many choices. Adding a filter can help narrow your search. With our Quick Filters below, you can search by a price and amenities. After following one of these links, be sure to check out the advanced search filters and then sign up for an Email Alert so you can receive new listings that match your needs.
Your income is going to play an important role in what type of apartments you can get in San Francisco. Whether family, a scholarship, or a job funds you, you need to be able to show landlords that you can afford to make your rent. The best way to do this is by providing documentation that shows conclusively how much income you will have coming in.
San Francisco has one of the best public transportation systems in the United States. The transit systems are by far the easiest way to bridge neighborhoods and it is a beautiful city to walk around once you reach the general vicinity of your destination. The Muni network will get you everywhere you need to go within the city, with the subway, streetcar, trolley car, busses and cable cars.
Entertainment in San Francisco starts with some of its more legendary tourist attractions, such as the Golden Gate bridge and the island of Alcatraz. Visiting the most well known Chinatown in the country is also a wonderful experience, and worth it for either the food or the shopping. Although it is more of a tourist destination than it once was, a visit to the Haight Ashbury neighborhood is essential for connecting to San Francisco's famous past during the 60s and 70s.
San Francisco has more attractions that almost any city, but without a doubt the most famous has to be the Golden Gate Bridge. Driving over the bridge, or having a picnic with a good photo-taking vantage is a must during your time in the city. The next attraction that you can't miss is perhaps more notorious than famous, but in either event, touring Alcatraz Island is one of the most popular activities for visitors to San Francisco. The largest Chinatown in North America is another spot that shouldn't be missed. Finally, heading just outside of the city to Napa or Sonoma will take you through some of the best wine producing regions in the country.
A bit of a local legend, the Stinking Rose is renowned for making everything on the menu with ample amounts of garlic – including the ice cream! The Bimini Twist is a very unique restaurant, located right in the home of the operators. With a background a fishmonger, the host provides the absolute freshest seafood you can find. Gary Danko has spent years atop Zagat's list of the best in San Francisco. If you want the traditional French experience, then you should find time to go to La Folie. A newer Mexican establishment that has been making waves with the quality of it's food is Tacorgasmico.
Dirty Habits has one of the best patios in town. Ample seating together with the fire pit and the fountain combine to make one of the coolest outdoor places to sit and enjoy a drink. Rickhouse is a great bar that features fantastic cocktails and live bluegrass music on a regular basis. This bar is especially designed to cater to whiskey lovers. Woodbury is a quirky bar that caters to people who grew up in the 1990s with a Super Nintendo available for patrons to enjoy while they have a drink. The Golden Gate Tap Room is meant for beer lovers, with 100 great beer available.
San Francisco has been known as a cultural hotbed for more than 50 years. The de Young Museum is one of the premiere museums that focus on American art. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is another must-see. For classical music lovers, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra has a history that stretches back more than 100 years, and their level of play lives up to that rich history. Catching a play in San Francisco is also a great idea, as many of the world's best playwrights premiere work here before it moves to New York. The American Conservatory Theatre, The Lorraine Hansberry Theatre, and The Marsh are just a handful of the dozens of great places to see theatre in the city.
The Haight Ashbury is certainly the most famous neighbourhood in the city, and the Haight Ashbury Street Fair in June is a great way to experience it. Food booths and various local stores, craftspeople and vendors line the streets of this iconic neighbourhood during the festival. The San Francisco Jazz Fest is a two-week celebration of jazz music. San Francisco has long been considered a city that has been at the heart of the Gay Pride movements, and the Pride Parade & Festival each June is one of the largest and most extravagant around. If you love rich food and good beer, then take in the Oktoberfest by the Bay to enjoy great German food and drink.
If you're looking for a little curio that is uniquely San Franciscan in nature, a stroll through the eclectic shops of Chinatown is a great way to go. If name brand shopping in a high-end mall is more your speed, then you need to visit the Westfield San Francisco Centre Mall, as this is where you'll find the highest-end mall retailers in the city, although Union Square Shopping is certainly home to it's fair share as well. If you like to be on the cutting edge, you should shop at the stores on Fillmore Street. This is where some of the most unique designers and trendsetters have set up business, and the district has been frequently called one of the best shopping streets in the country.
While San Francisco doesn't have a sports team in every professional league, when you expand to the entire bay area, all the pro leagues are represented. There are actually two NFL teams in the immediate area, with the Raiders being located in Oakland, with the 49ers being the official home team of San Francisco. Similarly, Oakland is home to the Athletics MLB franchise, whereas the San Francisco team is the Giants. The Golden State Warriors represent San Francisco in the NBA. The local hockey and soccer teams, the Sharks and the Earthquakes respectively, are both based out of San Jose.
If you love to surf, then you need to get familiar with Ocean Beach. This is the largest beach in the city, and also the best place to catch some waves. Land's End is home to some of the most beautiful views in the Bay Area, and also a wonderful place to bird watch, with more than 250 species calling the area home. You can even get completely away from the hustle and bustle of the city by heading out to Angel Island. If you don't want to take a ferry, just hop in a kayak and paddle across to a huge expanse of parkland lined with trails and dotted with historic landmarks.

This Week in Missouri Valley Conference Football
We're pulling into the halfway point of the 2014 Missouri Valley Conference schedule this week, and two teams (NDSU and Youngstown State) are still unbeaten in league play, while two teams (Northern Iowa, and Indiana State) are looking for their first league win.
Here's what to watch for (Sports Network Rankings/FCS Coaches Ranking):
#15/#18South Dakota State (4-3/1-2) at Missouri State (1-6/1-2) - 1:00pm
The Jackrabbits grabbed their first conference win last week at Western Illinois. The four interceptions in the game give them an FCS high 15 on the year. SDSU is second in the nation in turnover margin.
Defensive back Winston Wright is the conference defensive player of the week.
The Bears have thrown more interceptions (7) than touchdowns (5) this season, and have never beaten SDSU in five tries.
Wide receiver Julian had 6 catches for 128 yards against NDSU last week.
Missouri State head coach Terry Allen on South Dakota State:
South Dakota (3-3/2-1) at #11/#13Northern Iowa (4-2/0-2) - 4:00pm
The Coyotes are riding their first two-game winning streak in two years, and have a defense that's 6th in the nation in fewest yards allowed and 11th in the nation in fewest points allowed.
Running back Trevor Bouma is the conference newcomer of the week after a career-high 145 yards and two scores against Indiana State.
The Panthers have allowed the 4th fewest points in the nation, are 15th in turnover margin, and 20th in fewest yards allowed.
Northern Iowa's two straight losses have come in the final seconds at top ranked North Dakota State, and in overtime at home against Southern Illinois.
The Panthers haven't lost to the Coyotes since 1981.
#1/#1 North Dakota State (6-0/3-0) at Southern Illinois - 2:00pm

I have a csv file containing links to a site and number of time it was hit. It contains lakhs of such entries. Some link entries are duplicate like the following entry is present in the file multiple times:
http://www.xyz.com/link1, 15
http://www.xyz.com/link1, 13
http://www.xyz.com/link1, 17
http://www.xyz.com/link1, 18
http://www.xyz.com/link1, 11
Now I want to combine these link into a single entry in file like:
http://www.xyz.com/link1, 74
I have a program which reads lines from one file and writes them into second file. Whenever some duplicate comes it does not enter it into the second file but just add its value to number of hits field.
In the end second file is created with unique links and number of times they were hit.
But As I have to read single link from first file and compare it with each link in second file in loop. This is taking lot of time. (in days)
Can anyone suggest me a better solution to this. Someone who has worked with regex might help.
If I have posted this in wrong place in the site please send me the link where i should post this topic.
Thanks in advance.

As of Sunday (Oct 25th) I'm 12 weeks pregnant. That early evening, I had lots of bleeding and was rushed to the ER. Blood work and urine sample came back normal. Ultrasound showed that the baby had a great heartbeat and was moving around. It's now Wednesday and i'm still having a tiny bit of bleeding (dark, old blood - sorry for TMI) but my OB is not too concerned and doesn't want to see me until my next appointment, Thursday, Nov 5. That seems ages away.
Although my results came back normal and doctor is not concerned, i'm still very nervous and anxious. I'm asking for prayers for my anxiousness to go away and just trust that God will take over.

OTTAWA - The Opposition says the Speaker of the House of Commons should have more power to crack down on MPs behaving badly.
New Democratic Party House Leader Nathan Cullen says Speaker Andrew Scheer needs greater clout to keep politicians in line.
Cullen wants the Speaker to be able to bar MPs from asking questions in the Commons if they don't heed warnings to be civil.
It's not the first time the New Democrats have called for greater powers of punishment for the Speaker.
Cullen's predecessor, Joe Comartin, asked for the same thing last fall.
But Cullen says behaviour in Parliament is getting worse and MPs need to be reined in.

Fields of Goldarr. Roger Emerson - Hal Leonard Corporation
Fields of Goldarr. Roger Emerson - Hal Leonard Corporation
Click to review
"You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley..." This sensitive ballad from the artist Sting was recorded most recently by Eva Cassidy. Roger's adaptation works very nicely as a choral feature, keeping the haunting melody and supporting it with gently flowing keyboard lines. It offers a moment of sincere beauty as a concert or graduation selection.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs has opened up about the death of his father for the first time, revealing he was a drug dealer who was shot and killed when the hip-hop mogul was just three years old.
The rap entrepreneur has hardly ever spoken about his dad, Melvin Combs, but he has come clean about his childhood grief in a new online video segment, titled Confessions, to promote his new cable channel, RevoltTV.
In the clip, which was filmed in his New York apartment and posted on YouTube.com on Wednesday, the superstar admits Combs Sr.'s life on the streets drove him to succeed in school and chase his dreams because he didn't want to follow his father into an early grave.
Alerting fans to the YouTube video, he wrote on his Twitter.com page, "I've never spoken openly about my father… but launching @Revolttv moved me to share and let ppl kno (people know) the truth…"
In the short film, he says, "I don't have a lot of memories of my father. They say you can't miss something you never had, but that's only a little ways (sic) right. There's definitely been times as I've gotten older that I've missed my father – his presence – not being here and not having someone to ask manly advice. Just things that you would ask your father. Also things that you would celebrate with him that would make him proud.
"My father was a hustler, he was a drug dealer… so I learned early in life, there's only two ways out of that – dead or in jail, and (it) made me work even harder…
"Sometimes you can't just answer why things happen but I definitely think the route I went on – staying out the streets and hitting my books and trying to be somebody – I think he played a role in that… I had his hustler's spirit, his drive, his determination, his swag…"
Growing emotional, the rapper closed the video by stating, "My father's name was Melvin Combs and I'm Melvin's son, Sean Combs."
Sean 'Diddy' Combs has opened up about the death of his father for the first time, revealing he was a drug dealer who was shot and killed when the hip-hop mogul was just three years old.

Angels host Pitch, Hit & Run competition
ANAHEIM -- June is here, and the popular green shirts, representing Major League Baseball's Pitch, Hit & Run (PHR) competition, were out in force Saturday at Angel Stadium as 24 kids, ages 7-14, participated in the team championship program representing the Angels. The top three scores in each age and gender group out of all 30 MLB Team Championships will advance to the PHR National Finals held at Citi Field in New York City during MLB All-Star Week.
"This event is taking place in all 30 parks over the next few weekends," said Bennett Mayfield, who coordinated Saturday's event and will do the same Sunday in Oakland. "At the end of the month, when all the competition is concluded, the winners from today will be ranked in their respective age and gender groups and the top three in each group nationally will get the all-expense paid trip to the All-Star Game for the Pitch, Hit & Run National Finals.
The program is the "Official Youth Skills Competition of Major League Baseball," with more than 600,000 kids participating across North America in 2013 in girls softball and boys baseball divisions. Pitch, Hit & Run provides youth with the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and advance through four levels of competition, beginning at the local level. Over 4,000 local competitions take place each year, hosted by organizations, leagues or volunteers within a community.
"It means a lot to be here today," said 13-year-old Kayla Orozco from Anaheim. "The Angels play here and it's real cool being able to sit in their dugout, see where they play and their perspective of how they see the game."
"I've come to the games before, sat under the rocks before, but have never been in the dugout," said 11-year-old Lauren Salcedo, also from Anaheim, who opened a lot of eyes during the pitching competition, whipping in Jennie Finch-like fastballs while throwing underhand.
"It's really awesome to be here and see where the Angels play and see the field from this angle."
"This is a lot of fun," said 8-year-old Zachary Brown from Orange County, who took part in the same competition last year. "Just to be out here on the field and do everything, hitting, running the bases, is great."
Here is the ranking of Saturday's competitors:
7-8-year-old Girls Age Division
AJ Kuhns-Vasquez, Chino, Calif., 1st
McKinley Viers, Ft. Irwin, Calif., 2nd
Sara Aviles, Los Angeles, Calif., 3rd
9-10-year-old Girls Age Division
Arianna Tinoco, Baldwin Park, Calif., 1st
Lindsey Marschall, San Juan Capistrano, Calif., 2nd
Kayla Castro, Fontana, Calif., 3rd
11-12-year-old Girls Age Division
Lauren Salcedo, Anaheim, Calif., 1st
Brianna Olivo, Baldwin Park, Calif., 2nd
Leslie Santoyo, San Jacinto, Calif., 3rd
13-14-year-old Girls Age Division
Alexsys Abbott, Lancaster, Calif., 1st
Kayla Orozco, Anaheim, Calif., 2nd
Ariana Jenkins, San Berna, Calif., 3rd
7-8-year-old Boys Age Division
Zachary Brown, Santa Ana, Calif., 1st
Anthony Huezo, Palmdale, Calif., 2nd
Hugo Vasquez, Whitter, Calif., 3rd
9-10-year-old Boys Age Division
Austin Gage, Los Angeles, Calif., 1st
Steven Hogencamp, Anaheim, Calif., 2nd
Camron Rodwell, Los Angeles, Calif., 3rd
11-12-year-old Boys Age Division
Marcus Viramontes, Anaheim, Calif., 1st
Carter Kessinger, Burbank, Calif., 2nd
Joshua Vargas, Fontana, Calif., 3rd
13-14-year-old Boys Age Division
Kaleb Marschall, San Juan Capistrano, Calif., 1st
Jonathan Rice, Fontana, Calif., 2nd
Eddie Munoz Palmdale, Calif., 3rd
This is the 17th year MLB has run a youth skills program, and I bet if you asked any of the kids, they'd tell you that getting to Citi Field to take part in the National Finals is great, but even more exciting is that all the finalists get to shag balls in the outfield during the All-Star Home Run Derby. Now that's cool.

Toggle Press Boasts Rectangular Ram
Schmidt Technology Corp., Cranberry Twp. PA, introduces its toggle press Model 13V, which has a rectangular ram. The ram is best suited for applications requiring torsion-proof anti-rotational operation. To ensure precise, backlash-free ram operation and long service life, the press includes adjustable and replaceable two-sided Teflon-lined flat gibs.
The press can be ordered with a ram-return stroke lock—once the operator has completed the full ram stroke, the mechanism automatically releases and the handle returns to the ram home position, ensuring stroke completion and repeatability of the pressing operation. A spring-loaded quick-release button permits emergency release of the locking mechanism in the event of improperly loaded parts, defective assembly components or missing parts—as well as to ensure operator safety.
