This is not an easy thing.
When you choose medicine, you also choose a lifestyle. So far in my medical school journey I've seen two routes, to life in the medical school world. I made my choice early on, but I'm feeling the pull to change my ways.
There are those who get through it, seemingly quite easily. This has never been me. You don't have to be pursuing higher education to see this. I've noticed this since high school. The ones who party hard and seem to never study. And yet they score well on exams. It's happened countless times.
Oh, I got a 90…so could have done better.
I can feel my eyes roll at these memories, high school through to med school. As I've said before, this has never been me. I always got exactly what I worked for. If I studied, I did well, if I didn't, then…well…you know the rest…
I admit I have some problems with consistency and procrastination. I don't know anyone who doesn't to some degree. But getting into medical school did something amazing for me.
As you can imagine, since I began my first semester of medical school I have been putting in work because I wanted to be sure. This was not the time to be sometime-ish or gamble away the time and money I was putting into becoming a physician. This is not to say I was perfect at being focused, but my life became studying. It became studying and everything to do with medicine. That was what I did the most. The weird thing was that I enjoyed it to a higher degree than I thought was really possible going into this. I absolutely love being a professional student. But truly, I knew it was not all that healthy seeing as everything else became second to that.
Just life in general. I made this choice myself. I decided that medicine should come first. It was what I was told by every person in the medical field that I looked up to. It was what I read on medical blogs and every site I visited when I was doing research about med school. It's what is done. It's what I did for the past two years and change. And so far, it has worked.
But no doubt, it's left the rest of my life feeling a little…neglected.
So early in my career, I'm already feeling what the word sacrifice means. And I am definitely okay with that. It's not as if I didn't know what I was getting into, and I can't imagine my life doing anything else.
I've tried.
I would just never be happy if I was not doing this. I know this, so instead of complaining of the sacrifice, I'll do what I have become increasingly good at through my journey so far in medical school. I will balance.
I'm putting away the study crazy student and reconnecting with my other elements. Things I love, people I love, who also love me. I'm taking a few notes from my fellow med students who still find time to have fun and succeed. I know that I love medicine, but I love other things as well. Thank goodness love is something that is endless and therefore the amount of love I have for life can stretch across many different things. Medicine will always be my top priority, but other loves of mine are now going to take front seats as well.
You cannot pour from a cup which is empty.
I am aiming to have a beautifully full life. In order to give the best of myself in my future as a physician , I have to have some balance. Looking forward to having some fun!

The staff of the Prince Albert Daily Herald have struck a deal with the owner, Star News Publishing, allowing for an employee buyout of the newspaper.
The paper will now continue as an independent, locally-owned business.
The managing editor of the newspaper, Peter Lozinski, said the buyout will save 10 full-time jobs.
"It's a new beginning, that's for sure," said Candi Hansen, the office manager at the Prince Albert Daily Herald.
"We've been working on this for a long time. We actually get to share this news with people. It's a really exciting day," said Hansen.
The paper started in 1884 and was in local hands until 1949. Since that time, it has been passed between five different companies. The paper will now be led by publisher Donna Pfeil.
"I wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't for the staff that were here because they're all wonderful people and they're phenomenal at their jobs. Really, I'm just here guiding them," said Pfeil.
The Prince Albert Daily Herald publishes Tuesday through Saturday, with a daily press run of 3,000 copies. On Thursday, the paper publishes a weekly supplement, Rural Roots North, which prints 25,000 copies.
The buyout announcement comes just over a week after the Moose Jaw Times Herald published its last ever edition.
Prince Albert staff said there was motivation for the buyout, when their sister paper closed after 128 years in business.
"I really believe the importance of having a daily newspaper in a city like Prince Albert and now we know we can keep that going," said Lozinski.
The Herald's staff kept details of the buyout scarce, but said they expect the deal to close in the coming weeks.
"I'm pleased to be able to sell the Daily Herald to its employees," Roger Holmes, the owner and president of Star News Publishing said in a press release.
"I feel strongly that this decision is a good one for the staff, the city and the industry. These employees are passionate about Prince Albert, and I have every confidence they have the tools they need to succeed."

It wasn't that long ago that I became aware of blogs and what they were. But, when I read my first crafting blog, I knew that this was something I wanted to do! I do love to create works in fabric, but often become bogged down in buying more materials, viewing other people's work and thinking rather than doing. So now I'll have a place to 'show up' with my work, express my thoughts about what I'm working on and, hopefully, get some feedback on the results! Also, I have many creative friends and I'm hoping that they will let me share some of their work with you, too!
With so many disturbing things going on in the world, I find the process of creating something funny, cute, or even beautiful, a welcome diversion! Here's to a creative and happy New Year!

Arvia destroying pollutants in waste water
Developing an economic process for removal of toxic or non-biodegradable micropollutants.
Water is becoming increasingly important globally, with enhanced water quality and greater conservation driven by public awareness, rising costs and more stringent legislation. Treatment of low concentrations of organics in water, wastewater or industrial process streams is normally very difficult to achieve economically. The ever-increasing quality requirement for treated water generally demands greater capital and operational costs for the add-on of existing process technologies.
Arvia Technology has developed a water treatment process that continuously removes and destroys toxic and non-biodegradable pollutants. The process offers a sustainable replacement for activated carbon and relies on a highly-stable adsorbent called Nyex, and operates without any mechanical moving parts. The process can handle high and low concentration streams, and destroys chlorinated compounds preferentially.
The process is extremely cost-effective; typically, cost is directly proportional to the quantity of micropollutants to be removed from the incoming effluent. Micropollutants can affect colour, odour, and quality of drinking water. The process enables reuse and recycling of water, and due to full destruction of the pollutants, does not leave secondary waste requiring further treatment.
The Arvia solution can be implemented for multiple uses across a wide range of industries to address many, diverse needs, such as:
- final stage effluent treatment
- drinking water
- industrial process streams
- selective removal of chlorinated organic compounds
- odour treatment
- complementary treatments
- UV Treatment – the Arvia process can be used in conjunction with UV treatment, for example to remove trihalomethanes (THMs), trichloroacetates (TCAs) or residual colour
- Membrane Treatments – the Arvia process can be used to treat concentrate streams and is complementary to lower-cost membranes, such as ultrafiltration

Did you ever find yourself sitting in the kitchen, hearing someone's footsteps coming down the stairs and saying, "Oh, I hear my wife (or son) coming down the stairs. I can tell by the footsteps."
This week's Parsha – and this Dvar Torah – are all about footsteps we need to be able to recognize. We hear them clearly, but we must train ourselves to recognize and respond to them. What am I talking about?
Our Parsha starts with the words, "V'haya Eikev tishmeun…v'shamar …." – and if you will listen ….. Hashem will safeguard for you the covenant and the kindness. The Chidushei Harim explains the word Eikev is referring to the period of time before the coming of Moshiach, a time the Gemara calls Ikvasa D'Meshicha, the footsteps of Moshiach. What is the connection between the footsteps of Moshiach and our Parsha's sentence besides the word association?
All the commentators are bothered with the unusual word "Eikev". The word usually refers to the heel of the foot (as in the root of the name "Yaakov" who held his brother's heel.) What does it mean and why is it used here? How is it related to a quality of listening? The simple meaning of the term Eikev here means, "If you listen," in the sense of, "in exchange for listening." Rashi explains the word allegorically as referring to Mitzvos that we (figuratively) trample under ourheel. We perceive them as insignificant, due to our limited perspective, and assign them lesser importance, while that might not be the case.
Ramban points out that the word Eikev has many different meanings, among them "Acharis"–the end. Indeed, the heel is the end point of the body. Therefore, he interprets the sentence to be saying that the end result for listening to Hashem is Hashem will guard His covenant.
A thought occurred to me as I stood in Shul on Tisha B'Av. On this day of national sadness, we are not allowed to wear leather shoes. Absent leather, our heels are considered to be touching the ground. I thought perhaps that is exactly the point: Tisha B'Av, the day we are most distant from the Beis Hamikdash, is when we most urgently need to get in touch with the Eikev, the heel, so that we will be grounded. Tisha B'Av will then be capable of catapulting us to Moshiach. Indeed, Chazal tell us that Tisha B'Av is the birthday of Moshiach!
If we combine all the explanations together, I believe it's a core life message. We tend to focus on big goals and ideals. Often, we overlook the little things. Areas we perceive as trivial we might neglect or take for granted. But in doing so, we are making a mistake. Those small nuances in Jewish law do matter; they ground us. That's how Rashi explained Eikev. If we keep our heels steady on the ground, then we can use our heels to start propelling us forward. That is what we need to focus on at the end of time when we hear the footsteps of Moshiach.
We are in a very difficult era. One hundred years ago, the Chofetz Chaim already said that we are close to the coming of Moshiach. What must we do to shorten the time we must wait for Moshiach? We need to use adverse events occurring in this time to cause us to listen to Hashem, to follow his Mitzvos with the appropriate detail and enthusiasm and focus well on our Torah study. We aren't as perceptive as our ancestors were, so Hashem is sending messages that are less and less subtle! All the political unrest, anti-semitism, and acts of terror are these messages. These events are the footsteps.
We hear the footsteps…but are we willing to recognize the sound and the significance? It's time we hear with our hearts and minds; really hear! As the word Shema directs, we must not just listen, but fully understand. By doing that, when we hear the "footsteps" treading near us, we can bring Moshiach into the room! Let's grab onto the heels of Moshiach by being extremely diligent in our Mitzvos and by applying that "great principle of Torah," as Rabbi Akiva (whose name also has the root Eikev!) said: "V'ahavta l'rayacha kamocha," "Love your friend like you love yourself." If we can listen carefully to each other's hearts, we will be more finely attuned to the footsteps of Moshiach. May it be Hashem's will that we hear those footsteps and respond appropriately, so that the sweetest sound our ears hear are the dancing of our own feet with Moshiach in the Holy City of Yerushalayim.

Nasty dirty aunty dating sites off the chartssuccesswithonlinedating com
No matter how you slice it, this is a societal problem from the presidency on down – we're a bunch of hypocrites who lie and cheat and misrepresent and fabricate – and cry and complain when everyone else does the same thing. This is just something I needed to get off my chest. And we do this for one main reason – because we're never held accountable. Take the hypothetical "test" that the military asks its members to consider before making decisions.Sure, I've gone there before – notably when discussing liars. It's called the Washington Post Test: "If you are facing an ethical dilemma, ask yourself what you would do if you knew that your actions would make the front page of tomorrow's Washington Post." When faced with the idea of being "outed" for the world to see, our standards of behavior skyrocket.See, it's okay when I say I'm 5'10" instead of 5'9", but it's awful when a woman claims to be 130lbs when she's really 150lbs. Would anybody leave a profane message like Alec Baldwin did for his daughter if he knew it would make the nightly news? This disconnect between what we do in public and what we do behind closed doors is WHY we have private lives – so we can hide things that might be considered embarrassing.It's fine when I say I have an "athletic" body instead of an average one, but it's not cool when she says she's 35 when she's really 37. God knows I've probably done some foolhardy things over fifteen years of dating, and I can only hope that those women have forgiven me.Learn More About Truly Filipina → Filipino women are one of the most beautiful women in the world and online dating has never been a piece of cake for anyone.But with Truly Filipina, the search for your Filipino beauty has been made easier.Maybe then they'll get the idea that it may be fun, but it's not going to get them a date with a quality relationship-minded woman.Leah…AND women have approached me online, only to end up trying to have this online sexual experience.
In total, I received 11 messages with 218 visitors. A few were a little more forward, and two were straight-up aggressive.
Meet beautiful single women the safe and right way to enjoy the ultimate online dating experience.
In fact, a third of recently married couples met online. Women are afraid men will kill them."While it is true that straight women get more attention on dating sites than men, that doesn't always mean it's positive attention from safe potential partners Here's what happened.
You have to make it clear you are not interested in that type of conversation and block them as Evan suggests.
There are many good, decent people online, who are interested in quality friendships, so don't be discouraged!!

Dean Lyons and Prof. Chatman discuss the state of the Defining Leadership Principles
The Berkeley Leader: Live! tour, celebrating the impact and achievements of Dean Rich Lyons, BS 82, landed in Los Angeles in January. Lyons took the stage with Jennifer Chatman, PhD 88, Haas' Paul J. Cortese Distinguished Professor of Management, to discuss how Haas can maintain its culture. The two co-authored a case study that takes a candid look at our culture initiative.
The study, "The Berkeley Haas School of Business: Codifying, Embedding, and Sustaining Culture," offers a detailed history of the dean's initiative, its successes, and the gaps that remain.
The event was held at Raleigh Studios, thanks to host and sponsor Mark Rosenthal, BS 82, who announced a gift of $10K to the Dean Lyons Faculty Leadership Fund during his introduction. Lyons capped off the evening with a rousing rendition of "Mack the Knife" on his guitar.

β-21S titanium alloy sheet fatigue crack growth behavior was investigated at 25°C and 175°C under constant amplitude (R = 0.1 and 0.5) and miniTWIST flight spectra. Based upon nominal ΔK values, constant amplitude fatigue crack growth behavior at 175°C was either similar to (R = 0.1), or slightly better than (R = 0.5) 25°C. With crack closure taken into account, the fatigue crack growth curves at 175°C, plotted as a function of Keff , were shifted to the left of the fatigue crack growth curves at 25°C at near threshold values. Under flight spectra conditions, fatigue crack growth life at 175°C was 40 to 90 percent longer than at 25°C. Flight spectra life calculations using NASA/FLAGRO based upon constant amplitude fatigue crack growth data, were primarily conservative but in good agreement with experimental data. Fatigue crack growth was transgranular with crystalline facets and striations that were evident at higher constant amplitude fatigue crack growth rates and with the miniTWIST spectra. Striations were observed to a limited extent at threshold and near threshold conditions at 25°C, but not at 175°C. Based upon desirable constant and variable amplitude fatigue crack growth and fatigue/fracture crack morphology, this β-21S sheet alloy appears to be an acceptable material for damage tolerant aerospace situations between 25°C and 175°C.

Over the years, I have sat through thousands of hours of sessions in my office with couples in severe emotional pain. The majority of couples who come for sexual addiction help have generally disclosed some or parts of their behaviors to the spouse before stepping into our office. If you will, the "car accident" occurred outside our office. However, on occasion, the "car accident" happens in my office right in front me, as the sex addict shares and has full disclosure with their spouse. This is very painful to watch. When the spouse hears this information for the first time, it can cause emotional trauma. The loyal spouse will go through the stages of grief: shock, denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, and finally acceptance within minutes or the days following.
Full disclosure is what I call the "dump truck effect." The addict dumping the lies, dishonesty and ways they have acted out is very much like a dump truck, dumping a pile of manure, driving away relieved and feeling a cathartic release. For the loyal spouse, it is the opposite experience of having the manure dumped on you. Growing up on a farm, I have moved a lot of manure in my day, which is not something you want to do for a living.
Unfortunately, honesty is the only way the addict will get better. Like any addiction, the addiction only has power because of secrecy. The loyal spouse has desired honesty since they said, "I do." In fact, most loyal spouses cannot thrive in a dishonest marriage. Disclosure can be very validating for the loyal spouse. They finally realize they are not crazy, as the things they thought to be true…are actually true.
Before you say, "I do" to that special someone and to avoid "car accidents" and "manure piles", here are some warning signs I have observed that might help you avoid getting into or staying in a relationship with a sex addict.
PLEASE NOTE: The following list does not guarantee that your son, daughter or you are in a relationship or are about to marry a sex addict; however, if you see 10 or more of these behaviors in your relationship, you should be concerned.
- They lie about little insignificant things.
- What they say does not match behaviors you are observing.
- They drink or use prescribed and or un-prescribed drugs more than they should. They might be known as the party guy or party girl.
- They have unaccountable time during the day or night.
- They carry large amounts of cash, petty cash is missing from the business or accounts do not balance.
- When you ask them about their unaccountable time, money, receipts, or phone records, they become defensive and irritable with you.
- They receive calls, e-mails or texts that are unknown or unfamiliar to you or them.
- They are disinterested in you sexually, not aroused or unable to maintain sexual arousal.
- If they are willing to be sexual with you, they struggle with premature ejaculation.
- Sex is all about them and feels like masturbation, as you are an object. The experience is not intimate.
- You have observed them or viewed search engine history which indicates use of porn, social media, personal ads, dating websites or services on electronic devices. Or, on the other hand, the search history is always cleared or deleted.
- Their personal cell phone is always with them, password protected, and they become defensive when you ask to look at their phone.
- They masturbate to pornography or sexual fantasies.
- They have tried to stop but have not been able to. In fact, porn use and masturbation may be getting more frequent.
- They were exposed to pornography at a young age.
- They began masturbating as a child and never stopped as an adult.
- They were sexually abused or traumatized at a young age.
- They have parents who struggled with addiction or addictive behaviors.
- They have very poor, if any, self-worth and have a difficult time viewing themselves positively.
- They struggle with depression and/or anxiety.
If you see 10 or more of the above behaviors in a relationship, you might be in a relationship with a sex addict.

THE year 2015 has been special to the Civil Society Scaling Up Nutrition. Our voice for nutrition found more new avenues for sharing nutrition information – Zambia Daily Mail were kind enough to allow me to be one of their regular contributors.
This was a moment of excitement to CSO-SUN because we had found a partner to communicate one of the most important priorities of our work.
At CSO-SUN we also understand that awareness raising is very important in the fight against malnutrition. When almost half of all children are stunted, the problem of malnutrition becomes invisible to the population, because it becomes the norm.
Malnutrition can also be invisible to those who make policies which affect young children, because policy-makers are not exposed to the realities of malnutrition.
This lack of awareness of the extent of child malnutrition, of its consequences, and of what can be done to address it, limits action to resolve it. That is why CSO-SUN has awareness raising as top on its agenda.
We are of the strong view that bringing awareness of the issue of malnutrition needs to be a high priority and must be inspired by top leadership. For example, when the President mentions malnutrition in key speeches – including the scale of the issue, and what needs to be done to resolve it – then the entire government will understand that reducing the numbers of malnourished children in Zambia is a priority.
This will provide motivation for policy-makers in all relevant sectors to properly address the determinants of malnutrition, and will start to hold those charged with implementing policy accountable for their actions.
This is why CSO-SUN would take every opportunity to share information on nutrition to create demand for nutrition improvement. We are confident that this we have done well in 2015.
There are a number of success points in advocacy that we would talk about when you reflect on 2015, one of these being action on the National Food and Nutrition Commission Act.
The decision at the 23rd Cabinet Meeting held on October 19, 2015 at Government Complex to approve (in principle) the introduction of a bill in parliament to amend the current National Food and Nutrition Commission Act No. 308 of 1967, gives us hope for nutrition progress.
As Cabinet noted, the Act is outdated, therefore through the amendment, the Act will be strengthened to facilitate and strengthen the implementation of government policy on food and nutrition.
The Act itself is hugely important for nutrition, as it is central to the governance of the nutrition sector in Zambia. It provides us the platform to do what is right for the nutrition of our people so that we do not continue to deny hundreds of children their fundamental birth right of access to good nutrition, which is necessary to realise their potential to thrive, grow, and fully contribute to society.
At CSO-SUN, we believe strongly that a problem so fundamental needs governance that is commensurate with the gravity of the problem before us.
One of the issues we are looking forward to in the Act is that it will ensure effective high-level national coordination for nutrition. In Zambia, the responsibility for coordinating efforts to tackle malnutrition is assigned to the National Food and Nutrition Commission (NFNC), an organ of the Ministry of Health.
However, despite its efforts, NFNC's placement gives it limited powers to convene and coordinate the different actors who need to work together to ensure adequate progress in tackling under nutrition.
At CSO-SUN we are advocating for the revision of the NFNC's mandate so as to enhance its ability to coordinate the national nutrition agenda. This includes changing the placement of the NFNC within the government structure, so that it has the authority to call all stakeholders to the table and hold them accountable to their responsibilities and commitments.
It also includes the need for a strong, multi-stakeholder NFNC Board that represents the various sectors contributing to the national nutrition agenda and oversees the work of the NFNC.
At CSO-SUN, we feel that we have ended 2015 on a good note with the launch of the Global Nutrition Report (GNR), thanks to the power of working together with Indaba Agricultural Policy Research Institute (IAPRI), and International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).
We are so grateful to have had the Vice-President, Mrs Inonge Wina launch the GNR 2015. She provided great motivation to the fight against malnutrition in Zambia and reminds us of the importance of leadership.
Going forward, we need more than just the usual capacity building, which has focused on building knowledge and technical skills, such as by producing more master's graduates at the University of Zambia/the Natural Resources Development College.
We must focus also on building and mentoring leaders. Indeed, leadership in nutrition is considered to be a critical component for national-level capacity for effective action.
It is very significant that we sustain our momentum on nutrition in Zambia in 2016 as we still have a long way to go before we get to reduce the levels of malnutrition comprehensively.
As we focus on taking our nutrition programmes forward, we call for investment in developing a cadre of leaders to take us where we want to be.
A Happy New Year from all of us at the Zambia CSO-SUN.
The Author is a civil society advocate for good nutrition and Country Coordinator for Zambia Civil Society Scaling Up Nutrition Alliance (CSO-SUN).

I am delighted to announce that the historic c.1783 Keith Homestead in Bridgewater will go on the market later this month. The Keith Homestead, 515 Lakeside Drive, is set on scenic Lake Nippenicket at the end of a dead-end road and is surrounded by 99 acres of permanently protected conservation land that adjoins the Hockomock Swamp Wildlife Management Area.
JM Goldson has been supporting the Bridgewater CPC on this project for close to three years, from conception to implementation, and we are now in the final stage of implementation which is to sell the property to a buyer with a respect and passion for this historic home.
The project idea took hold when a group of concerned neighbors, working together with the Wildlands Trust of Southeastern Massachusetts, presented the project concept to the Bridgewater Community Preservation Committee. The concept was for the town to approach the developer/owner of the property to negotiate an acquisition of the property and surrounding open space with the support of Community Preservation Act funds. The then 14-acre property was approved for development of a cul-de-sac road and 10 single-family house lots and the likely demolition of the historic Keith house.
The Keith Homestead property has a long history - it was originally part of John Washburn's share of the early land grants of Bridgewater. In 1735, Moses Washburn, John Washburn's grandson, sold this property to Samuel Keith. Robert Keith, Samuel's grandson and, during the Revolution, a minuteman in the company of Capt. Nathan Mitchell, built this house c. 1783 in the prevailing Georgian style. The Keith family owned the property for 213 years and farmed the land as did subsequent home owners. The property was sold to a developer in 2004.
The Robert Keith House has approximately 3,520 s.f. net area with five bedrooms and six fireplaces. The building is comprised of a 2-story, 5-bay, south facing main block, a 2.5 story rear ell attached to the north elevation of the main block, a one-story addition attached to the northwest corner of the rear ell, and a one-story garage addition attached to the west elevation.
The interior of the Keith House has many historic features intact spanning from the period of construction (late 18th century), through the 19th century including Greek Revival style elements as well as Victorian-era, to the early 20th century. The property will be permanently protected with a Preservation Restriction that will be held by Historic New England through its stewardship easement program. The Town has selected broker John Petraglia of Petraglia Real Estate, specialists in older, antique, and historic homes, as the agent. Mr. Petraglia can be reached at 508-476-7745 or at
The Request for Proposals for Disposition of Town Property will be released later this month. Stay tuned. . .

Transcription of mRNA by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) is a fundamental step in gene expression. In mammalians, this is a highly regulated process that requires the assembly and coordination of a multitude of nuclear factors that determine the level of transcription of any particular gene. This thesis investigates the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation by NFAT and AP-1 proteins, two families of transcription factors that play pivotal roles in tumorigenesis, proliferation, and the immune response. Using the human interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene as a model system, we characterized the mechanism of transcriptional synergy by NFATc2 and cJun in activated T cells. We propose a model by which cJun homodimers are recruited to the IL-2 promoter as a coactivator of NFATc2, resulting in high levels of transcription. This recruitment is mediated by a unique interaction between the C-terminal activation domain of NFATc2 and the DNA binding domain of a cJun homodimer.
Given the distinct role of cJun homodimers in regulating transcription, we aimed to develop DNA aptamers that are capable of distinguishing between cJun homodimers and cJun heterodimers, such as cJun/cFos. SELEX targeting DNA-bound cJun resulted in DNA aptamers that bind cJun homodimers with high affinity and specificity. For the highest affinity aptamer, we characterized the mechanism of binding, its secondary structure, and identified the minimal binding region. We determined that this aptamer effectively inhibits cJun from binding its corresponding DNA recognition element, and in cells we show that the aptamer can inhibit cJun homodimer activated transcription.

Evaluating Lean Blow Off in Gas Turbines and Burners with Time-to-Solution that Fits Rapid Design Flows
Duration: 00:35:43
Reaction Design has introduced predictive capabilities that enable the accurate modeling of Lean Blow Off (LBO) in ENERGICO, enabling combustion engineers to perform detailed chemical kinetic and mixing analysis within minutes, saving millions in gas turbine development costs and substantially reducing Time-to-Solution when compared to traditional physical prototype testing. Turbines used in combined-cycle power plants seeking to operate at lower loads to avoid costly nightly shut-downs will also benefit from ENERGICO's new capabilities.
Using an advanced combustion simulation package like ENERGICO, designers can leverage existing CFD data to initiate and evaluate combustor design and fuel changes impacts on how close a flame is to LBO. Moving combustion air from one place to another in the combustor can have a big impact on a combustor's ability to achieve lower exit temperatures while avoiding LBO or excessive CO emissions. ENERGICO utilizes accurate combustion chemistry to predict CO emissions accurately with shorter solution times than CFD. The speed and accuracy of this approach makes it easier for combustor designers to evaluate LBO behavior for different designs and operating conditions.
What You Will Learn
- How to use ENERGICO to predict CO emissions
- How to conduct an automated parameter study to evaluate how close a case is to LBO
- How to determine the exit temperature gain or loss through combustor design or fuel changes
- How to integrate LBO simulations into rapid combustor design flows
Who Should View
- Gas Turbine Combustor Design Engineers
- Boiler Burner Design Engineers
- Alternative Fuel Combustion Designers
- Low Emissions Technology Designers
- Project Managers

I picked up this silk shirt in the COS sales a few weeks ago. Its lovely and soft and the colour is lovely but its proving hard to wear! Since its been in my wardrobe I have put it on several times, felt unsure, so taken it off again. But today I stuck with it! Teaming it with denim and my favourite shoes, it became the perfect outfit for this unpredictable weather.

On February 22nd at Yale University, the renown German artist, filmmaker, and writer, Hito Steyerl, presented a speculative lecture aptly named Bubble Vision: Aesthetics of Isolation, which centered on the recent trend of orb-based aesthetics coming out of VR design culture. According to Steyerl, "Bubble Vision" refers to the markedly disembodied process of viewing the world through a parallel spherical multiverse. She highlighted the aesthetics current ubiquity by replicating the immersive experience offered by VR, constructing a 360˚ view of the hypothesis' pervasiveness in our everyday lives.
Steyerl points out that in VR, the haptic interaction with spheres is a means of transporting oneself into a new space. With the same logic, she guides the audience through a series of curated images of bubbles which advance her hypothesis of their simultaneous importance and invisibility in contemporary culture. "Bubble Vision" is a framework that facilitates this shift, proposing to adapt us to a world where we're slowly replaced by artificial intelligence systems.
While speaking about the unreliable nature of crystal balls, Steyerl projected the widely-circulated image of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt, King Salman of Saudi Arabia, and Donald Trump taking hold in unison to an illuminated globe at the opening of an anti-extremism center in Riyadh. The artist's theory posits that our transformation into incorporeal forms is propelled by the current backlash against distorted presentations of information. Experiences are being designed as realist observations to claim authenticity. The isolation of VR, which allows for immersion in foreign spaces without consequences, has made it seem as though it's an ideal presentation for genuine events. Orbs that appear too real, with too much ease, must not be automatically trusted. VR's promotion of identity tourism only takes us out of the confusion of disinformation into a world of global isolation and escapism. The Earth seems flat from our perspective walking on its surface, Steyerl explains, just as from the inside of a filter bubble, the curvature, or subjective bias of one's position, and can remain invisible.

Medicare supplement plans are eventually considered the best way to ensure your medical expenses if you are not covered under any medical advantage or original Medicare. The supplement plans help you to cover all the expenses related to health facilities whether you reside in multiple locations or visit the hospitals frequently.
Selecting the best Medicare plan
It is always necessary to select the Medicare supplement plans that suit you the best. However, before deciding, you must ask some questions to yourself;
- How much premium do you need to pay?
- Are there any deductibles on the doctor's visit or hospital stay?
- Are you bound to choose the hospitals and doctors provided by the network only?
- Will your doctor accept the coverage?
- How much is your total medical cost per year? What are your prescription charges?
- If you travel a lot, the Medicare supplement plans must be able to cover outside the country as well?
- Is the plan good and is backed by good ratings?
- Are you eligible to get prescriptions through email?
- Is the plan compliant to cover you while traveling as well?
Things to know while getting a Medicare supplement plan
- You need to have original Medicare under Part A and Part B; hospital and Medicare insurance respectively.
- If you are registered for Medicare advantage, leave it immediately before applying for Medicare supplements.
- Medicare supplements are owned by private companies only.
- You need to pay a monthly premium to the private insurance companies for the Medicare
- You can buy one from the licensed Medicare provider only.
- If you are registered for Medicare advantage, you cannot get a Medicare
- No insurance company can cancel your plan as long as you pay the premium amount.
- You need to check out whether the plans cover all your expenses and medical costs or are they customized.
Factors that should be considered
- Costs – costs are the most important factor you must consider before finalizing a plan. Check out for the premiums, deductibles, and other hidden Calculate your yearly visit and medical expenses to select the insurance plan. This will help you with maximum coverage of medical expenses.
- Choice of doctor and hospital – some medical plans abide the holder with limited options of medical facilities. They cover only few hospital expenses and fix doctors. When the plan is not flexible enough, Medicare supplement plans can be irritating and useless.

Global stairlift manufacture MediTek is introducing a new hi-tech intelligent control and diagnostic system (ICS) for its stairlifts. The new ICS control system replaces the old 7segment diagnostic display and is probably now the best type of stairlift control and diagnostic system available.
The advanced diagnostics and alphanumeric display, located in the arm moulding, easily indicates lift functions and service information and does away with the need for a reference book or chart to interpret data, and should reduce considerably the number of costly false-alarm breakdown callouts by stairlift users.

There are some strange band names out there. But they don't come close to the odd ones some bands started with. Take Elastica, for example. The band originally called themselves Onk (fortunately they changed it, as it sounds like a pig snorting) and Vaseline (but they had to change it when The Vaselines threatened them legally). So in 1993, they became Elastica.
The Libertines:
The Libertines: Doherty and co. originally called themselves The Strand. Though they considered swapping their name to The Albions, they eventually settled on The Libertines (after the Marquis de Sade's 'Lusts Of The Libertines').
Radiohead: The founding members met while attending an all-boys school in Abingdon. In 1985, they formed On A Friday (as they usually reheased in the school's music room on a Friday). But when they signed a six-album deal with EMI in 1991, they were asked by the label to change their name. Radiohead came from the title of a song on the Talking Heads' album 'True Stories'.
The Beatles:
The Beatles: Much like their initial struggle to find a permanent drummer, the moptops couldn't decide on a name. From The Beetles to The Beatals to Johnny And The Moondogs to Long John And The Beetles to The Quarrymen to The Silver Beatles, they finally settled on The Beatles in August 1960.
Red Hot Chili Peppers:
Red Hot Chili Peppers: And you thought this name was a mouthful. They were originally called Tony Flow And The Miraculously Majestic Masters Of Mayhem. Surely RHCP is better than TFATMMMOM? The name swap occurred in '83 when they started getting record label attention and signed to EMI.
Black Sabbath:
Black Sabbath: When they first formed, they called themselves The Polka Tulk Blues Band (after a brand of talcum powder Ozzy spotted in his mum's bathroom). This eventually got shortened to Polka Tulk, then switched to Earth (which Ozzy apparently hated). When they realised there was another band called Earth, they went for Black Sabbath (inspired by the 1963 horror film of the same name).
Muse: Talk about being indecisive. They went from Gothic Plague to Fixed Penalty to Rocket Baby Dolls (the latter being used to compete in a battle of the bands, which they won). Once the band started taking themselves more seriously, they renamed themselves Muse (inspired by Bellamy's art teacher). The guys also apparently thought it would look good on a poster.
Wild Beasts:
Wild Beasts: So this name swap wasn't too far off. When Hayden Thorpe and Ben Little formed in 2002 after meeting at school, they called themselves Fauve (or "wild beast" in French). But when Chris Talbot joined the lineup, the trio became Wild Beasts.
The Who:
The Who: The Detour became The Who in February 1964. However, during summer 1964, the name was changed to The High Numbers, while the band were being managed by Peter Meaden. When their single 'Zoot Suit/I'm The Face' didn't make it onto the charts, they changed their name back to The Who, got a new management team, and became successful mod legends.
Friendly Fires:
Friendly Fires: It all started at such a young age. When the members were 14 and attending St. Albans School, they formed their very first band – a post-hardcore act called First Day Back. When they parted ways for uni, frontman Ed Macfarlane went solo, but upon graduation, they reformed as Friendly Fires. Musical soul mates, if you will.
Bloc Party:
Bloc Party: After being called Union, Superheroes Of BMX, The Angel Range and Diet, they eventually settled on Bloc Party in 2003. The name is inspired by the block parties of the US, with the 'k' removed to add an Eastern European connotation. They just thought the name looked and sounded cool.
Queen: When you think about it, could you imagine Freddie Mercury fronting a band called Smile? That's what they were called originally. But with his flamboyant showmanship, the regal elegance of Queen is quite fitting. Mercury also designed the band's logo, which combines all four members' zodiac signs.
Slipknot: They performed their first live show in December '95 under the pseudonym Meld. Then one night, that same year, a few of the members were visiting Joey Jordinson at the petrol station he worked at. Jordinson suggested the name swap to Slipknot, after their song of the same name.
Klaxons: This trio first called themselves Klaxons (Not Centaurs), which was lifted from Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's 'The Futurist Manifesto'. Around 2007, they decided to shorten their moniker to Klaxons. But let there be no confusion, we're pretty sure they still aren't centaurs.
Pink Floyd:
Pink Floyd: They've been called Sigma 6, The Meggadeaths, The (Screaming) Abdabs (or Architectural Abdabs), Leonard's Lodgers, The Spectrum Five and The Tea Set. Syd Barrett came up with "The Pink Floyd Sound", when he found out another band called The Tea Set were performing at the same show as they were. The name is a combination of blues acts Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
Pixies: Less of a full on name change and more of a convenient trim, The Pixies were once called Pixies In Panoply. Apparently, Black Francis and Joey Santiago got the original name after looking up "pixie" in the dictionary (and found the medieval meaning, which is an unbaptised dead infant stuck in Limbo).
Elbow: There's The Flaming Lips, Beady Eye, Finger Eleven, so why not have a band named after one of your most useful joints? Elbow were once called Mr. Soft, then lost the title and called themselves Soft. Then in '97, they were inspired by BBC TV drama The Singing Detective , in which character Philip Marlowe says the word "elbow" is the most sensuous word in the English language.
Van Halen:
Van Halen: In 1972, they formed as Mammoth, but found out a band with that name already existed. Apparently David Lee Roth suggested new name Rat Salad, which they passed on, and went with Genesis instead. But that one was already in use, too, so they settled on Van Halen. Shame they didn't go with that tasty suggestion of Rat Salad.
Oasis: Liam and the boys were originally called The Rain, after a Beatles song called 'Rain'. Liam got the name Oasis from an Inspiral Carpets tour poster, (listing Swindon venue Oasis Leisure Centre) hanging in his bedroom? He liked that the name had a "resonance of imagery".
Snow Patrol:
Snow Patrol: Snow Patrol began their career as Shrug, releasing an EP called 'Yoghurt vs Yoghurt Debate'. In 1995, they beame Polar Bear to avoid confusion with any other bands called Shrug. But they faced that problem again when Jane's Addiction's ex-bassist Eric Avery formed a band with the same name. Apparently a friend of the band came up with Snow Patrol.
Creedence Clearwater Revival:
Creedence Clearwater Revival: CCR began The Blue Velvets, but when they were signed to Fantasy Records, label owner Max Weiss renamed them The Golliwogs (after the children's literary character Golliwogg). When Saul Zaentz bought the label, he told them to change their name. Creedence Clearwater Revival was the band's very first suggestion.
The Goo Goo Dolls:
The Goo Goo Dolls: Ever thought to yourself, "Goo Goo Dolls? What a strange band name?". Well, they could still be called The Sex Maggots, which is what they originally went by. Goo Goo Dolls doesn't look too bad now, does it?
Blur: Originally an offshoot from the band Circus, the members then called themselves Seymour (after J.D. Salinger's 'Seymour: An Introduction'). In November '89, A&R guy Andy Ross of Food Records discovered the band, but didn't like their name. After offering up a list of names to choose from, they decided on Blur.
Pearl Jam:
Pearl Jam: Give or take a few members, the days leading up to Pearl Jam included Green River, Mother Love Bone and Mookie Blaylock (after the basketball player). Due to trademark issues, they renamed themselves Pearl Jam. One story is that Vedder's great-grandmother Pearl had a recipe for peyote-laced jam. But he's apparently dismissed that one.
Green Day:
Green Day: When Billie Joe and Mike formed a band in 1987, they called themselves Sweet Children. How sweet, they were only 15. But in 1989, they dropped the name, as there was another local band called Sweet Baby. The name Green Day stems from their love for marijuana.
U2: When Larry Mullen, Jr. first advertised the band on a school notice board, he referred to it as The Larry Mullen Band. But once Bono joined, they became Feedback. In 1977 they became The Hype, but when Dik Evans left the band, they went through another name change, settling on U2 - which they liked for its ambiguity.
Coldplay: Pectoralz was their first name (as a sort of side project band). Then when Guy Berryman joined the group, they changed their name to Starfish. Then in 1988, the final name change occurred, and they became Coldplay (a name suggested by a fellow student who once used the name for his band, but was no longer using it).
R.E.M.: They were nameless for quite some time before agreeing on something. Names they're said to have considered include Twisted Kites, Nego Wives and Cans Of Piss. Imagine the heights their musical career could have reached if they went with Cans Of Piss.
Sonic Youth:
Sonic Youth: These guys took a while to settle on a name, calling themselves Male Bonding, Red Milk and The Arcadians. Then by June '81, they dubbed themselves Sonic Youth. Looks like some people are still holding onto the past though, as there's a London-based trio now calling themselves Male Bonding.
The Grateful Dead:
The Grateful Dead: The Warlocks stemmed from Mother Mcree's Uptown Jug Champions. Jerry Garcia found Grateful Dead in the good ol' book of definitions.
Joy Division:
Joy Division: They were billed as Stiff Kittens for their very first gig, but ended up changing their name to Warsaw (after Bowie's song 'Warszawa') at the last minute. Thinking people might confuse them with punk band Warsaw Pakt, they took on Joy Division (after the prostitution wing in a Nazi concentration camp, from the novel 'The House Of Dolls').
Fleet Foxes:
Fleet Foxes: This Seattle band was first called Pineapple, but they had to change the name since there was another local band going by Pineapple. Frontman Robin Pecknold told The Independent that Fleet Foxes was "evocative of some weird English activity like fox hunting" – and it definitely fits their sound more than a tropical fruit.
The Beach Boys:
The Beach Boys: The initially called themselves The Pendletones, after the popular woolen shirts they used to wear on stage. The story goes that when their single 'Surfin'' was printed, someone changed the name to The Beach Boys to fit more to the band's image. Because the small budget kept them from reprinting the singles, the name stuck.
The Cure:
The Cure: A few guys formed Malice, then some people left, and the remaining members formed Easy Cure. When guitarist Porl Thompson was dropped from the act, the remaining trio became The Cure.
The Doors:
The Doors: There was a band called The Psychedelic Rangers, which sort of attracted all the members. Once in their final lineup, they took on the new name of The Doors (inspired by William Blake's Poem, 'The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell'. The Psychedelic Rangers still sounds cool, though. Someone should nab it.

We have heard so much about biases at Universities against almost everything, conservatives, men, women, ethnic groups of every type, Christians etc.. We know from experience that there are many groups at universities who would love to get rid of all sports. So far, it hasn't happened but is that what is happening at the University of Minnesota? Due to lack of transparency by the University, it looks at though that the press is going hard to find out what is really going on especially now that the whole Football team is boycotting all football activity including the Holiday Bowl on December 27th.
According the article below there was an investigation about a sexual assault case involving the 10 football players that were suspended and the police declined to charge any player but the University suspended them anyway. When a University refused to tell the world what really happened especially when the players were cleared by the police, they are throwing away $2.8 million dollars split between two Universities, open themselves to major law suites by Washington State University and players from both Universities. Wonder who will have to pay settlement like that? Oh yes thats rigiht, U of Minnesota is a public university taxpayers!
Finally, due to the Universities lack of transparency, people are already wondering if what is going on is like the fiasco with the Rolling Stone Magazine and the University of Virgina. Lets hope the University of Minnesota gets their act together and tells what really is happening and not throw away tax payers money and players careers.

Minnesota players to boycott all football activity
MINNEAPOLIS – The entire Minnesota football team says it is boycotting all football activities until it gets satisfactory answers from the university about the suspension of 10 players this week. The school suspended the players after an internal investigation into a sexual assault case. Police declined to charge any of the players, but the school suspended them based on internal regulations involving sexual assault allegations.
The team's players said Wednesday that have not ruled out skipping the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27 against Washington State in San Diego.

Under My Rock
We're alive, just enjoying our time under the rock. This morning, I folded laundry while Kellie watched Finding Nemo. She got two fish for her room last weekend. She's absolutely taken with them. We wake up and feed them before breakfast. Then we feed them (She signs "food"), turn out their light, say goodnight ("Bye bye fishy") and climb into bed at night. Having fish in her room has turned out to be a wonderful transitioning tool. And she loves to call for them ("Fishies! Fishies!") and ask to be picked up ("Up? Up?") so she can see them. (They're up on her bookshelf.)
Kellie is back in cloth. When offered the choice, she chose her bumGenius, hugged it to her chest and sighed, "Mmmmmm..."
Remember why we started cloth in the first place? Kellie would have a bleeding rash in disposables. No matter what cream I used or how frequently I changed her. I was hoping her body would have... I don't know - grown out of it or something. Nope. The rash is still there. No amount of laziness will keep me from using what's best for my baby's bottom. So, cloth it is, folks.
I have a horrible paper cut that is making typing not-so-fun.
I finally cleaned my house...again. Seems this place doesn't come with a self-cleaning button.
Ummm... That's it. Sad, huh?

Last week it was my great privilege to be a guest at the Hailsham Rotary Club Christmas dinner. I was asked to give a Christmas message, which I duly did to the packed hall of Rotarians and guests. It was a lovely affair with special representation from the local Samaritans group and a display by the world champion Zoe Pennington Dancers.
Both local organisations had benefitted from the enormous all year round charity work of the Rotary Club. The dance studios cater for children of all ages and it was a varied and multi-age display we were presented with. It was clear talking to the children how they benefitted in confidence and life skills as they enjoyed their performing. The Samaritans provide a vital link to so many desperate people. Demand for their services has been steadily increasing with the general rising of stress levels in society. These days, as well as the free telephone number of 116 123 they are soon to expand into online and texting services.
It is so apparent at this time of the year just how many charities there are around, and so many of them launch special appeals for Christmas. It is a natural time of the year to appeal for funds as Christmas is still a time of open hearted generosity. It's the time Christians celebrate God's amazing generosity in sending his son, Jesus to show us the way. God's generosity ignites a spark in the human heart which encourages people to open their wallets to charitable causes. And the two messages can be combined such as the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution's Carol Service in Hailsham Cattle Market on Friday December 4 at 7.30pm at which I shall be speaking. It celebrates Jesus' birth and helps raise funds for a charity that helps those struggling in the farming industry.
In an ideal world the same spirit that encourages thoughts of love, kindness and generosity at Christmas would be evident all year round, but sadly it isn't so. Come Boxing Day and the cut and thrust world of commerce and the January Sales kicks in.
Someone remarked to me the other day how business meetings are always so much more nicer affairs around Christmas time, with more allowance being given to people, but which is not there all the rest of the year. Living in the real world we as a church are no different and this year our Christmas Appeal is for the Serving Africa Mission with a base in Ghana. All the Christmas appeals will give enormous help to charities, so be generous. But wouldn't it be marvellous if we could learn to have that Christmas Spirit the whole year round, even when it's not Christmas!
