Just How You Could Run Your House On Solar Energy
Maintaining green energy in the home does not have to be difficult, and has numerous benefits for you and your family! Simply by installing a programmable thermostat or turning off the lights when you leave a room can help. Read this article for more tips on how to use green energy!
Recycling is one of the easiest tasks that can make a greener home. Some towns automatically include costs for recycling in their garbage collection, so look into this! If not, certain states including Michigan will pay consumers to return bottles after use. Recycling is one of the best ways to cut energy costs!
Use solar hot water. By installing a solar hot water system, you can use solar power to heat the water you use for everything in your home. It will work for your showers, washing dishes and doing laundry. If you are worried about not getting enough sun, you can invest in a small, traditional water heater as well.
Run the dishwasher when it's full instead of half-full in order to save energy and money. Don't run it with only two or http://www.homedepot.com/c/SPC_LF_LEDLightFixtures three dishes inside. Dishwashers can usually hold many dishes. Make sure you take time to place the dishes in properly so as to maximize the space available.
It is easy to live green,and still enjoy technology just by making small changes. Make your laptop more energy efficient simply by changing your wall paper. Using a dark or black wall paper, and screen saver uses less energy. This small amount of energy saved will add up over time, especially if you have more than one computer in the home.
You can take advantage of solar power without investing in costly installation. Paying attention to window placement, insulation and landscaping is enough. Get rid of any trees that cast a shadow on your home, add more windows if a room is too dark and add insulation in the walls to retain the solar heat.
Don't try to install a wind generator on a small piece of property. First of all, you'll likely get complaints from the neighbors, as an efficient wind turbine needs to be at least 30 feet off the ground. Secondly, you need about an acre of land in order to ensure an unobstructed prevailing wind.
Using cold water in your washing machine whenever possible is a great way to save energy. The reason for this is that a significant amount of energy is required to heat water. In fact, about ninety percent of the energy consumed when washing clothes is used for heating water. Using hot water is more expensive for both you and the environment.
One of the cheapest and easiest ways to make your home more energy efficient is by replacing all of your standard light bulbs with green versions. Not only do such bulbs reduce your energy bill through lower wattage and higher efficiency, but these bulbs are also made to last longer, giving you a two-fold return for your investment.
Upgrading the windows on your home can go a long way with saving your money on energy costs. If you do not have energy efficient windows on your home, you could be paying an extra ten to twenty-five percent on your energy bill each and every month. Think about what kind of difference that could make if you upgrade your windows in conjunction with other energy-saving steps.
If you do not need to use the lights in your home, turn them off. This includes when you are not even at home. When the lights are left on, they use a lot of energy, which is not only negative for the environment, but it is also negative on your wallet.
Install solar panels on your roof for a greener, more environmentally friendly home. Although you may have to pay a sizeable amount to install these solar panels, you will make this money back within a few years via power savings. Once you have the panels installed solar energy then becomes free, and with any excess power you gather you can potentially sell that to electric companies.
Try air drying both your dishes and your laundry to cut back on energy used for drying cycles. With the dishes, you need only set your dishwasher to a clean cycle then move the load to your sink-side strainer when it is done. Drying your laundry in the sun not only reduces energy used via your drier, it also results in fresher, less wrinkled clothes.
If you cannot afford to invest in costly green energy solutions, consider moving to a smaller home. You will find that your energy needs decrease: you will save money on your energy bills and be able to afford a smaller solar roof or need a smaller quantity of biofuel to heat your home.
Once you make the switch to green energies, let everyone know. A lot of people are not even considering this option because they are not educated enough about green energies: you have a chance to make a difference by using your own system to demonstrate how green energies work and convince more people to make the change.
What you've read here is just a drop in the pond of http://my-led-lighting-guide.tumblr.com/post/146182513198/regular-series-led-retrofit-kits green energy information. Continue seeking new knowledge, and use what you learn in your daily life to keep the Earth clean and alive while still powering all the modern amenities you need to make life a little easier.

Welcome to the Physics Department.
Physics, Biology and Chemistry at Cranbrook School are taught as their own subject specialisms from Year 7 onwards.
The study of Physics at all ages is an exciting chance to understand the everyday world that is around us and to go far beyond these limits, exploring both the realm of the very small with subatomic physics and trying to understand the enormous distances and energies involved in space.
Year 7 and 8 : The Year 7 and 8 course is centred on the KS3 content of the National Curriculum but with opportunities to push beyond this and into areas of interest whenever possible.
- Year 7 concentrates on: energy, motion and forces.
- Year 8 focuses on: waves, sound and light; electricity and magnetism; the particle model of matter; space.
There will be a strong emphasis throughout the course on practical work and the application of ideas to the world around us.
Years 9 to 11 : We currently follow the AQA GCSE specifications for science.
The GCSE course begins in Year 9 with the intention that all students will sit separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics GCSEs at the end of Year 11.
The full Physics GCSE course covers the following material :
- Year 9 deals primarily with: forces and energy; kinetic theory and heat; wave behaviour, sound, the EM spectrum and seismic waves.
- Year 10 introduces: electric circuits and household electricity; magnetic fields and motors; the atom and radioactivity; motion and mechanics.
- Year 11 moves onto: static electricity and electric fields; moments, levers and gears; pressure and hydraulics; gas laws; black-body radiation; lenses; fission and fusion; gravitational fields, orbits and life cycle of stars; red-shift and the Big Bang; induction, transformers and the National Grid.
A minority of students will switch to double award science at the end of Year 10 where they continue to study all three science disciplines but with rather less content to learn for the exams. This allows much of Year 11 to be spent on revisiting some of the harder material from Year 9 and 10.
Practical work remains at the heart of the GCSE course, as a chance for students to develop practical skills and to allow them to better understand physical concepts through hands-on experience.
A level : We currently follow the AQA A level Physics specification.
All of our A level teachers are physics specialists and we use a 'flipped-learning' approach that allows students to make the most of their time in and out of the classroom. Experimental work is an important feature of the course and weekly practical sessions allow students to quickly build valuable skills towards the A2 practical endorsement.
The AS course consists of the first year of the A2 course and will be finished around Easter in Year 12. Although most students will complete the full A level it does allow flexibility at the end of Year 12, with some students opting to stop at this point and take the AS exam.
Year 12 significantly extends material that is often familiar from GCSE such as: forces and motion; waves; electrical circuits. There is a good deal of new content that deals largely with the deeper nature of matter and introduces students to subatomic particles such as quarks and the weirdness of quantum physics.
The Year 13 content is almost entirely novel or revisits material that was only dealt with in a very cursory form at GCSE. It covers: simple harmonic and circular motion; gravitational, electric and magnetic fields; capacitance; induction and transformers; radioactivity; nuclear energy, fission and fusion; ideal gas laws. The AQA course also has options available at the end of A2, where students can choose to study topics related to: astrophysics; medical physics; engineering physics; turning points in physics; electronics.
Physics is one of the more popular choices of A level subject and many of our students go on to study related fields (such as engineering) at university.

Teachers: Dr C Lally, Mrs S Sutton, Mr R Holden

Is it possible to set the text of a Textbox in code behind of a unbounded TemplateField ?
Hello Stephane,
Thank you for contacting Infragistics. Yes you can but walk me through your requirements in detail. There are a couple ways to identify the cell you can hook events if the end user clicks grid. You can use RecordActivated or CellChanged event to identify the cell and then change the value.
You can also iterate the grid's records collection, fields collection etc to get the cell.
To be more specific, i'm trying to apply a red border to the textbox that is into a TemplateField when he is empty :
<igDP:TemplateField Name="SheetsSpans" AllowEdit="False" Width="185" Label="{x:Static resx:Labels.VerifFormDeckMultiple_SheetsGridSpans}" BindingType="Unbound" ToolTip="{x:Static resx:Tooltips.VerifFormDeckMultiple_SheetsGridSpans}"> <igDP:TemplateField.DisplayTemplate> <ItemContainerTemplate> <TextBox x:Name="txtSheetsSpans" IsReadOnly="True" Margin="1,1,1,1" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="Transparent"> </TextBox> </ItemContainerTemplate> </igDP:TemplateField.DisplayTemplate> </igDP:TemplateField>
in code behind :
private void GrdSheets_InitializeRecord(object sender, InitializeRecordEventArgs e) { if (e.Record is DataRecord dr) { if (dr != null) {
Cell cell = dr.Cells["SheetsSpans"];
??????????? (how can i access textbox ???)
And if i want to set text into textbox, how can i achieve this ? Remember that is an unbound TemplateField with a Textbox in it. Thanks.
I don't see any binding on the your Textbox for the TemplateField so you would just have to add that. <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=(igEditors:TemplateEditor.Editor).Value, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"Use the TemplateEditorValueBinding markup extension to facilitate the binding to the underlying data.
igEditors:TemplateEditor.Editor don't exist (Editor) and the textbox is readonly just for display a calculated information, i'm not in edition... in our case the xamDataGrid is used to display only our data. We have a column with a button to edit the current row in a new independant window (complex need). So all Template fields have a textbox binded to data, except 2 Template Fields with textbox that are calculated and i need to feed this textbox with a calculated data in code behind. Does it simply possible ? a textbox in a TemplateField cannot be accessed anywhere ?
Is there a specific reason you are using a TemplateField and not an Unbound field? The following topic demonstrates how to wire up Fields with BindingType set as Unbound to present calculated data
Let me know if this is more inline with what you are trying to achieve.
With a unbounded TextField i can display my calculated value, but we want to keep a similar appearance between all the columns and allow the copy / paste of text, that's why we try to use the TextBox in a TemplateField (unbound). In addition we would like to put the red border when the text is empty ...
For styling the XamDataGrid please refer to our online documentation and styling points. For marking an empty text with a red border you can do something like this with a trigger.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ig:DataRecordCellArea}"> <Style.Triggers> <DataTrigger Value=""> <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Red"/> <Setter Property="BorderHoverBrush" Value="Red"/> <Setter Property="BorderActiveBrush" Value="Red"/> <Setter Property="BorderSelectedBrush" Value="Red"/> <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2"/> </DataTrigger> </Style.Triggers></Style>

An Outsider's Perspective of Agriculture
I grew up in a small town where a grand portion of residents consisted of cows in sleepy green fields. The high school and university I attended had outstanding agriculture programs, but my only involvement with them was walking past the goats on campus or driving by the greenhouses and watching students tend to their plants. FFA was an organization I knew existed at my school, but I knew nothing about it other than ribbons and blue jackets. I grew up surrounded by agricultural programs and opportunities to get involved, and yet my understanding of this broad field was admittedly lacking.
I thought agriculture was just about cows, corn and cotton.
After graduating with my bachelor's degree, I had the great fortune of being hired as Alumni Relations Coordinator for the Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications (ALEC) department at Texas A&M University. During my first days at ALEC, I was given a tour of the department and met with faculty and staff. From this, I gained a new education on the vast and in-depth field of Agriculture.
I got to see the department's media lab which housed a sound booth and state-of-the-art media and broadcast equipment. The students in the Agricultural Journalism and Communications program had the tools needed to gain experience in newsroom, television and radio stations. A big part of agriculture is communications, something I hadn't considered before starting in the department.
I also was involved in a wide range of initiatives during my time in ALEC including plans to bolster their Agricultural Science STEM-related programs. The department graduates more STEM educators than any other Texas A&M department, and these graduates are responsible for preparing the next generation of educated/skilled professionals. They are currently raising funds for the Agriculture and Workforce Education Building which will house welding and carpentry labs, CAD lab, wet lab, greenhouse, and livestock handling facilities. STEM is such a large and important initiative in today's world, and I discovered how deeply rooted agriculture is in STEM programs.
Another portion of the ALEC department focused on leadership studies. The Agricultural Leadership and Development program emphasizes the development of leadership capabilities, communication skills, and broad preparation in life sciences. Graduates of the program pursue careers in law, politics, public service, the military, and much more. Before starting at ALEC, I would have never considered that agriculture would be involved in leadership development. However, considering the industry is at the precipice of all other leading industries such as technology, food production, business, and manufacturing, ensuring tomorrow's leaders are prepared and capable makes sense.
I could write an entire paper on the efforts of the department in international initiatives. From study abroad, leading capacity building and training programs, conducting international research, and partnering with governmental, private, and educational development organizations, ALEC is leading efforts abroad to further agricultural development world-wide. We live in a global economy and we are all connected, from the clothes we wear to the food we eat to the cars we drive. The state of agriculture in Africa, Haiti, or Peru, for example, impacts the U.S. Agriculture spins the web of commerce and relationships and brings the world together.
From the moment I stepped through the door at the ALEC department, my preconceived notions were flipped on their head. I discovered that agriculture is so much more than just farmers on their tractor or black and white cows at the dairy. It's an industry that connects with every other industry, that spans across all nations, and affects every single human on earth. This is an industry that seeks to end food insecurity and human suffering in impoverished countries while learning from global cultures and improving crop outcomes across the world. This is an industry that is modernized and uses latest technologies from new blends of fertilizers, to state of the art broadcast production equipment.
Agriculture is life as we know it. From the media we watch, to the clothes we wear, to the car we drive, and the food we eat, we are experiencing this industry in every part of our lives. I'm so thankful my mind was opened to the truth and to see the passion and determination in the work being done by industry professionals.

Bad storms on Monday took out one of our servers (our PDC running NT4), and Tuesday evening I put a new one together from scratch (now running 2000 Server). I worked a 42-hour shift without going home, came home, slept 2.5 hours, went back to work.
Anyway, I'm too busy right now to focus on this, so hopefully I'll be able to give a more thorough description of my past few days later. Judging on my recent lack of journal content, though, I can't guarantee it.
However, now that Liz made me this fabulous new layout, I may post more often ;) Thanks Liz!

Share the joy! A Write Out Loud guide to running an Open Mic
A few weeks ago Write Out Loud asked for Open Mic organisers up and down the country to respond to some questions about their own particular event and what it entailed. With the current wave of popularity in grass-roots poetry, we wanted to give a few ideas and reassurances to anyone thinking of setting up a new Open Mic night in their area. The responses came from all over the UK, some of whom had been running these evenings for decades, some for less than 18 months.
Question: Why do you do it?
Responses here pointed overwhelmingly towards two key factors: firstly because of a love of poetry and secondly to be able to encourage and develop others, whether that be providing a platform for existing poets or creating a safe environment for newcomers to take their first steps. What a lot of love there is out there for poetry! The number one reason was simply to be part of the world of poetry, to share and experience the work of other people. Nobody said they wanted to make money, nobody said they wanted Event Management experience. It would seem that our Open Mic creators have genuinely altruistic reasons for doing what they do. Several respondents' original motivation came from the absence of anything similar in their local area. "I wanted to encourage a sense of community and to give people something to come to after 6 pm when the town shuts down, apart from the pubs". Further responses in this section talked about the personal satisfaction derived from seeing performers grow over time, and also the need to fulfil a personal creative need. It is clear the personal rewards are many and diverse, but all stem from a love of poetry and a desire to be part of the poetry community.
Question: How would you describe your current demographic?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the UK's poetry Open Mic demographic tends not to be a true representation of the population as a whole. Although this is measured quite unscientifically in this case, it would seem an average audience is more-or-less balanced between the genders but skewed in other areas, with a small majority being white, educated, working class and over 40 years old. Encouragingly though, there are multiple deviations from this with variations on all fronts including some with a particularly young demographic and many with a majority audience from a fascinatingly diverse range of ethnic backgrounds. Class, however, that very British denomination, emerges as a consistently telling element of our Open Mic audiences who seem to comprise largely (although not exclusively) educated working-class and lower middle-class poets and listeners.
Question: What are the main things needed to organise an Open Mic event?
- Venue. "Venue is the biggest part as it has such an important role in creating an atmosphere", "A welcoming and supportive venue", "A good venue that wants to support the event".
- Host/Compere. "A compere who ensures the night is about the open mic poets, not the compere", "A good host, who can run the night and keep it lively and engaging", "The MC. Having a feel for the 'timbre' of the evening is important".
Other superbly incisive responses included the need to encourage a listening audience as well as a participatory one, and covered things such as "having patience and perseverance" and the need for having a good PR set up, which brings us nicely to:
Question: How do you publicise your event?
Top answers: Social media and Write Out Loud Gig Guide. Our Gig Guide has been a long-standing and invaluable tool to the poetry community and is currently being developed by our Gig Guide Editor Laura Potts to become an even more comprehensive listing of Open Mics, readings, tours and other poetry events across the UK and internationally too. Facebook and Twitter are also used by almost every respondent in one form or another. Many people use posters and flyers, "I flyer at most events I go to", many have their own website, and several talk about using the venue itself to publicise your activities and really get involved: "Of the 3 venues I use, none charge me for the room we use and 2 of them pay for my headline poet."
Question: How do you measure what has been a successful event?
There were two main responses to this question and they represent quite different areas of the event management. Primarily the success of an evening can be gleaned from the smiles on the faces of the audience and participants. That's all we want, to spread happiness and be part of the warmth! "if people are having fun and enjoying the event - getting people together is the aim, so if people are chatting and meeting new people then that's a success in my eyes", "Any event that captivates a sizeable audience of non-performers would be deemed a success for me". The second success factor is rooted more in the realities of finance: "There are loads of successful nights that I find hard to say are personally successful because I lose money when the audience numbers aren't enough", "It is essential to ensure regular decent audience and performer numbers in order that the night remain a viable booking for the venue". So, covering the finances is almost (but not quite) as important as having fun. We may be creatives, but we all live in the real world!
Question: What single piece of advice would you offer to potential new Open Mic organisers?
The main threads of advice echo the importance of the earlier question about making the night a success. First and foremost is finding a good venue, preferably for free and having a good relationship with it. Another consistent answer is to look after your audience and make them feel welcomed, in particular the listening audience. "If you want to attract an audience of non-performers be kind to them. Don't cram too much into the programme. Less is more". And there were many thoughts about patience and flexibility, "be yourself and don't force it; allow the event room to develop into something slightly different to your original vision". Interestingly in this section there were barely any references to personal enjoyment, no "have fun and enjoy yourself!" answers, which suggests quite hearteningly that the majority of our Open Mic organisers are extremely hard-working selfless individuals whose personal motivations may be important but are not the top priority when it comes to their own Open Mic organising experience.
Reading the heart-warming anecdotes supplied by the respondents is truly inspiring. Each of them has countless tales of newcomers discovering poetry for the first time, or even by accident, and coming back for more. Every one of our Open Mic organisers has seen people grow both within and without the poetry world "One performer holds himself with more confidence, on and off stage, after first performing at my night and becoming a regular". "A Polish woman who had sat in the audience for almost a year one day got up and performed. She said that we had given her back her voice". Doesn't that bring a tear to your eye? It is these personal moments of humanity that bring the real rewards. The advice and logistics are all pragmatic measures aimed at success, but the real joy comes from the tiny unquantifiable things. "What is really lovely is when people tell me how much they appreciate the night, even if it is a one-off, it makes the struggle worth doing it and reminds me that it is needed and spurs me on to continue."
Write Out Loud would like to thank all the organisers who took the trouble to contribute their responses to this article. Special thanks to Issa Farrah, Maggie Sawkins, Carmina Masoliver, Rick Sanders and Gary Carr, all of whose words and wisdom is variously quoted above.
Perhaps you can see yourself in this profile. Fancy setting up an Open Mic in your town…?

How to help your kids learn about money: Advice for financial education
Talking about money early helps kids be comfortable coming to parents as adults, says Gary Rabbior
When it comes to teaching young people how to be financially responsible adults, the most important thing is to talk to them — often and early.
That's according to Gary Rabbior, the president of the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education, who's in St. John's Wednesday for Talk With Our Kids About Money Day.
We tell them, if you made mistakes that often makes you the best teacher.- Gary Rabbior
"The departments and ministries of education, educators across the country are recognizing that it's important and they're trying to do more to help prepare our kids for their financial futures," said Rabbior.
Events Wednesday include a money fair, which Rabbior said is the same as a science fair, but students have to research financial topics instead.
About 6,000 schools across Canada take part in the financial literacy day — April 26 is the day for Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador, while it was marked on April 19 in other provinces.
Changing behaviour
Rabbior said what they're trying to do is change the way young people think about money in the long-term.
"A lot of what's going on in financial education now is we're evolving to try to actually affect behaviour almost as much as knowledge," he said.
"People have been told to budget for decades, yet still a minority of people tend to budget. What we're hoping is the activities in financial literacy education can actually affect the way young people act and how they behave."
A big part of that is encouraging discussion between kids and parents, and equipping families with tools to help make talking about finances a natural discussion.
Encourage them to set their sights on something, actually achieve it and feel how good that feels.- Gary Rabbior
"Don't sit your kid down at the table and say, 'We're now gonna learn about money.' Try and make it a natural thing," Rabbior told CBC's St. John's Morning Show.
"A lot of parents are reticent about doing it because parents often feel, 'What did I learn about money in school?' because most parents didn't. And maybe they made mistakes. But we tell them, if you made mistakes that often makes you the best teacher."
Equip them with skills for the future
As for what parents can do to get their kids thinking about money early is, give them a chance to handle some of it.
"One of the things we think is most important is to have young people build a sense of self-efficacy, and what I mean by that is that they have belief in themselves that they can accomplish the goals they set," he said.
- Why kids should be taught personal finance in school — and at home
- Financial literacy to be incorporated into Ontario curriculum
"The more you can fuel that feeling that, I can set a goal and I can achieve it, then they'll plan for their financial affairs, they'll take control of their financial affairs, so encourage them to set their sights on something, actually achieve it and feel how good that feels."
Building this confidence in handling one's own finances early in life will mean an adult who is more capable of making decisions, and not letting anyone else set limits for them.
"There are going to be a lot of people in their lives trying to affect and influence what their decisions are. The most important thing about staying, I think, out of stress is to stay in control," said Rabbior.
"I think when you get into the decisions about needs and wants and when people start advertising at you and when people start offering you debt and whatever, are you going to let them determine more about what you feel, what you want, what you'll spend? Or are you going to stay in control of your own life and set your own limits?"

We have demonstrated an adaptive metalens whose focus, shift, and astigmatism may all be electrically controlled. These metasurface lenses, which are based on dielectric elastomers (or "artificial muscles"), present a promising new direction for ultra-thin adaptive optics.
This work was published in Science Advances. See a press release from Harvard SEAS here.
Adaptive metalenses with simultaneous electrical control of focal length, astigmatism, and shift, Science Advances 4 (2), 2018
Complementing this work is our recent paper, published in APL Photonics, in which we demonstrate a mid-IR plasmonic metalens integrated with MEMS technology, enabling beamsteering. See a press release from AIP here.

APO got started on the Linked Semantic Platforms for Policy and Practice (LSP) project on the 6 March, with a kick-off meeting at the Hawthorn Arts Centre in Melbourne.
Funded by an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) grant, the LSP project is significant because it aims to revolutionise the way researchers are able to access, and analyse policy documents and data. The main objective of the two-year LSP Project is to develop the next generation of decision-support tools for interdisciplinary research on critical public policy issues.
By applying linked open data, knowledge graphs and collaborations across existing research infrastructure projects, the project will improve interoperability across major social science databases. The ultimate outcome of this project will be the creation of new analytical tools that will transform the research capabilities for evidence-based policy making. The LSP project also aligns closely with the Research Graph pilot project that APO is currently involved with an launching at Research Data Alliance Plenary in Berlin in March.

BOTHELL, Wash., Jan. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- BioLife Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLFS), the leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of proprietary clinical grade cell and tissue hypothermic storage and cryopreservation freeze media and a related cloud hosted biologistics cold chain management app for smart shippers today announced that two recently published journal articles cite expanded use of the Company's CryoStor cell freeze media in pre-clinical safety studies and clinical trials of cellular therapies for liver transplantation and heart failure.
The article Successful expansion of functional and stable regulatory T Cells for immunotherapy in liver transplantation was published in the journal Oncotarget and completed at MRC Centre for Transplantation, Division of Transplantation Immunology and Mucosal Biology, King's College London, Guy's Hospital, Great Maze Pond, London, and the Institute of Liver Studies, King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill, London.
In this study, Treg cells were frozen in CryoStor, then thawed and assessed for viability and suppressive function. The authors concluded:
- We report the enrichment of a pure, stable population of Tregs (>95% CD4+CD25+FOXP3+), reaching adequate numbers for their clinical application.
- Our protocol proved successful in influencing the expansion of superior functional Tregs, as compared to freshly isolated cells, whilst also preventing their conversion to Th17 cells under pro-inflammatory conditions.
- We conclude with the manufacture of the final Treg product in the clinical research facility (CRF), a prerequisite for the clinical application of these cells.
In another article, Widespread Myocardial Delivery of Heart-Derived Stem Cells by Nonocclusive Triple-Vessel Intracoronary Infusion in Porcine Ischemic Cardiomyopathy: Superior Attenuation of Adverse Remodeling Documented by Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Histology, a study using CryoStor was completed at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles, and Keio University School of Medicine in Tokyo, Japan. The authors concluded:
- We have addressed a number of issues that are central to the delivery of cell therapy (safety and efficacy of stop-flow versus continuous-flow, and of single- versus triple-vessel infusion).
- Our findings give reason to believe that global cell infusion may be a promising translational tool, particularly to treat generalized cardiac disorders.
- These data provide preclinical validation for nonocclusive multi-vessel cell delivery, as is being utilized in the phase 2a DYNAMIC (D ilated cardiomY opathy iN tervention with A llogeneic M yocardI allyregenerative C ells) trial of allogeneic CDCs in patients with ischemic and non-ischemic heart failure.
Mike Rice, BioLife's President & CEO, said, "We are pleased to see additional public disclosures about the use of our biopreservation tools used in the regenerative medicine market. Our proprietary biopreservation media products are now embedded in over 200 customer clinical validations and clinical trials of potentially life saving cellular therapies. With the recent launch of biologistex™ cloud based cold chain management app and evo™ Smart Shipper, we have tremendous opportunities to help our customers improve the quality and delivery logistics of their time and temperature sensitive biologic products."

The inability to rest properly can cause a great deal of frustration. Unfortunately, between 50 and 70 million of U.S. adults struggle with a sleeping disorder. Most of them will use sleeping pills medication to get the rest they need and continue with daily activities. However, powerful substances like benzodiazepines can lead to addiction and a resurgence of sleep problems when patients stop taking them.
What Are the Symptoms of a Sleeping Disorder?
Sleeping excessively in the daytime and having a hard time falling asleep at night are both signs of a sleeping disorder. Another symptom is irregular breathing, also called sleep apnea. People that suffer from this condition may feel a lack of energy throughout the day, or experience difficulty concentrating, mood swings, forgetfulness, and even depression.
What Types of Sleeping Disorders Are There?
The three common types of sleeping disorder are sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and insomnia.
People with insomnia have problems falling or staying asleep during the night. It is the most common sleeping disorder, as half of the world's population has experienced it at least once.
Sleep apnea is another common disorder, affecting around 20 million Americans. This condition entails irregular breathing patterns caused by a blockage of the respiratory system. That prevents the brain from entering the deep stage of sleep, which can impair bone and tissue recovery, as well as cognitive functions for the next day.
People with narcolepsy are extremely sleepy during the day and can even fall asleep unexpectedly. This condition is caused by the inability to control the sleep/wakefulness cycle.
Can You Become Addicted to Sleeping Pills?
To get a good night sleep, many people resort to sleeping pills. The problem is that because the body can build a tolerance rather quickly, patients will ignore the doctor's recommendations and increase the dosage to get the same effects. That can lead to dangerous patterns and addictive behaviors.
What Are the Concerns of Self-Medicating a Sleeping Disorder?
Most people are unaware of the dangers of self-medicating in general. The logic goes: if a doctor prescribed them, then they must be safe. But, taking sleeping pills precariously can lead to a variety of health problems, such as drowsiness, memory loss, peculiar dreams, irregular breathing and impaired coordination. Those who are abusing the drugs can even experience depression, heart problems, and high blood pressure.
What Methods Are There to Treat Sleeping Disorders?
Except for sleep apnea, medication is the most common approach to treating sleep disorders. Doctors usually prescribe hypnotics for insomnia and stimulants and antidepressants for narcolepsy.
However, medication alone increases the risk of addiction. That is why experts recommend using it with other types of treatment, such as cognitive behavioral therapy that can give patients the tools to control their urges.
Developing the right routines can also help. Fitness, yoga, and meditation are excellent alternatives that could correct or at least minimize the symptoms of sleep disorders.
People that abuse sleeping pills are often trapped in a cycle of drug use that may have serious health consequences. Show the addicted person you're on their side and assist them in finding professional help. [

By Burnley FC
October 6 2018
The Clarets extended their unbeaten record to three games but couldn't take a winning run into the international break as Huddersfield hit back to get off the bottom of the league.
Sam Vokes' second goal in as many games promised to make it three wins in a row but the Terriers deserved their point through Christopher Schindler's second-half equaliser as the Roses rivals again remained deadlocked.
The result left Huddersfield without a win this season but seemingly not without hope, while the below-par Clarets – unrecognisable from the side that overwhelmed Bournemouth in their previous home game – will bank the point and look to come back fit and firing after the break with a tough run of fixtures to come.
Both games between the two sides last season had finished goalless but that never looked likely to be the case this time around thanks to a flurry of early chances.
That said, Huddersfield hadn't previously managed a goal from open play this season – all three coming from set-pieces – and the visitors' poor finishing was instrumental in allowing the Clarets a half-time lead.
Burnley's two opportunities before the break fell to Vokes and the in-form striker again delivered the goods.

Were you at the game Alf?
Just watched the highlights, didn't look too bad, thought Tarks was lucky, looked like a stamp on the diver. As SD said 7 points out of 9, like the other posts asks, do you want silky entertaining football and relegated or grind out results and EPL football?

VIDEO: The pros and cons of the 'right to be forgotten'
Content Marketing Survey May 2014
Click to Download the Full Report
You can find out a lot about a person on the internet these days. Just by clicking on someone's social media profile you can find out where they live and work, what they look like, as well as their favourite brands and TV shows.
Although this is mostly a good thing, it can set people at a significant disadvantage if the information about them is negative or wrong.
To put some boundaries in place, last month the European Union passed the 'right to be forgotten', a ruling that allows people to request search engines to take down information about them which they deem to be damaging or incorrect.
The court said search engines are responsible for the type of data they provide and act as data controllers.
This is good for people who have made mistakes in the past and want to start afresh, or have been unfairly accused of something they didn't do, but it does come with some disadvantages.
It also means people can alter what is being said about them just because they don't like it, which feels like internet censorship. There were something like 12,000 requests lodged in the hours after the court ruling was announced.

Gîni Piggu 2: Chiniku no Hana (Guinea Pig II: The Flower of Flesh and Blood) (Hideshi Hino, 1985)
[originally posted 7Jul2000]
Hideshi Hino is, simply, one of Japan's finest exports. Writer, graphic artist, rabid media critic, all-around fun guy, but for as long as civilization exists he will be best remembered as the guy who drove Charlie Sheen to the FBI.
Sheen saw Guinea Pig II: The Flower of Flesh and Blood in 1991 at a party he was attending, and he was convinced that it was a true snuff film, so he took the copy and gave it to the local branch of the FBI. Large-scale investigations in both American and Japan followed, culminating ultimately in (a) the finding that GP2, like all other supposed snuff films, isn't real, and (b) Hino exploding in popularity in the United States (it's not a coincidence that an American graphic arts publisher started releasing Hino books in America in 1992, all of which I recommend very highly as a fantastic glimpse into the collective subconscious of post-WW2 Japan). The darker underbelly of the investigation resulted in the [ed. note 2013: temporary] banning of Guinea Pig in Japan. To date, no distributor has picked up and reprinted the films officially (though the ban has not stopped new ones from leaking out, and the series now stands at nine [seven films and two making-of documentaries]), and so when one finds copies of Guinea Pig films, they are often fourth- and fifth-generation dubs of questionable quality at best. I have my doubts as to whether even owning them in the United States is legal, but one assumes that if it weren't, the sellers on ebay would be arrested pretty quick… but I'm relying on supposition here. (If I disappear quickly, you know why.) [ed. note 2013: the series has since been reprinted twice on DVD in box sets, once in 2002 and once in 2005.]
Yesterday I received a third-generation copy of II and IV (see the vault review on 1-3-14). GP2 is the most infamous of the series. It is also the shortest, clocking in at a scant forty-two minutes. It has no plot to speak of. A woman is abducted by a man dressed as a fourteenth-century Samurai warrior and systematically dismembered. And while, if you know the basics of film composition and realize that the cut shots could not have been done in the ways they are if this were actually being filmed in real-time, there are a few points where the best thing one can do is to sit and repeat to oneself "this is not real." The effects are, quite simply, spectacular (within the framework of what's going on), and I was pleasantly—if anything about this can possibly be said to be pleasant—surprised by the fact that other than the differing genders of the two players in this twisted, brutal sturm und drang (and much more drang than sturm, if you translate it literally), any sexuality involved is read into it by the viewer.
Guinea Pig 2 is not something to be enjoyed; it is something to test the boundaries of one's endurance. How is it possible to rate such an experience? And do you really want something like this in your home? In my case the answer is an unqualified "yes," but then, I'm depraved. Going strictly on the quality of my copy and the shattering effectiveness of the film at what it sets out to do, I'm forced to give it *** ½.
In the 1990s, it was banned. In 2014, you can see the entire film on Youtube.

Rural areas to benefit from extension of Scottish fibre broadband rollout
The rollout of superfast broadband in Scotland is set to reach more rural areas thanks to a £15m boost.
Stronger than expected take-up of fibre services has seen £15.6m reinvested back into the Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband project.
Scottish finance secretary Derek Mackay said the extended rollout programme will target very rural areas as well as new-build homes constructed between 2012 and 2014.
Parts of Aberdeenshire, Angus, Dumfries and Galloway, Perth and Kinross, Scottish Borders and Stirling are set to benefit.
"I am delighted that thanks to the higher than expected uptake of our Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programme more premises than originally planned will now have the opportunity to benefit from investment in reliable and speedy broadband services," said Mr Mackay.
"The increase in broadband access shows clearly the difference this government is making to people, communities and businesses, supporting jobs and livelihoods in the north east of Scotland.
"Work is already underway and by December 2018 every local authority across the project area will enjoy at least 85% superfast broadband coverage with users able to experience speeds of above 24Mbps as part of our commitment to deliver 100% superfast broadband by 2020."
Progress is being made in rural areas – the Aberdeenshire village of Inverugie was connected earlier this month, making fibre available to 79 premises.
'New solutions'
Superfast coverage across the city of Aberdeen is now up to 94.9% when the efforts of the Digital Scotland programme are combined with commercial deployments.
Mr Mackay added: ""We are already looking at how we reach further and ultimately ensure we get superfast speeds to all.
"This will include extending the programme to new areas, as well as identifying new solutions for parts of the network that are currently unable to access superfast speeds."
Robert Thorburn, BT Scotland's fibre broadband director, said: "We are proud of the Digital Scotland rollout – a massive infrastructure project that's being delivered on time and on budget and provides a vital digital network for Scotland for generations to come.
"It's built in to the contract that strong take-up levels trigger the release of funds for reinvestment back into the network, and BT has chosen to release these funds early so we can go further."

Lessons from one of Europe's top arts communicators Denmark's Magnus Restofte says that you are not only asking people to part with their money – but their time today – and that is a tough sell for any sized organisation. He is coming to Sydney in November. Glen Falkenstein Hit and very miss. John Waters in Talk. Image by James Green. The Sydney Theatre Company's attempted jab at Australia's media landscape skewers its inevitably niche audience as much as it panders to them. Director/Writer Jonathan Biggins, ensuring the words Ray, Hadley, Andrew and Bolt never appear anywhere in the play, here gives us John Behan (John Waters). Prolific radio personality, controversial commentator and now rogue broadcaster, Behan has locked himself in his studio as a media and public crisis partly of his making dramatically escalates, refusing to go off air as events unfold. ADVERTISEMENT The idea of Waters' familiar roar hotly unleashed on the public as one story alone soon dominates the airwaves is in and of itself a fantastic concept for live theatre, and Waters is reliably superb throughout. Unfortunately – Talk's appeal largely stops there. Regretfully ceding his time to another dozen-odd characters, among them a hapless studio gopher only there to deliver comic punchlines who quickly disappears when no longer relevant to proceedings, neither the glibly-realised Daily Telegraph office nor ABC studio (together occupying the lower portion of the stage) manage to be half as engaging as Water's obstinate pirate. When these three sets do manage to work interchangeably and action simultaneously unfolds on each and every level, the production is a joy to watch, but these moments are few and far between. Depending on your point of view, you may enjoy the roasting of News Limited or the distinctly gentler jabs at the ABC, neither of which disguise the machinations of a play that clearly knows its audience. Attempting to navigate the vagaries of traditional and emerging media, encapsulated here by Twitter alone, the incessantly recurring duologue between one of ABC Radio's elder Woodward-esque journalists and a newly-minted University of Technology Sydney Communications graduate abruptly derails the play at several junctures. Forgetting to show, not tell, this very current debate that would otherwise engage Talk's real-life counterparts plays out not through action or events but hackneyed one-liners and trite streams of consciousness which, as this UTS Communications graduate can attest, less resembles compelling theatre than it does only the most insufferable of university lectures. The late and highly convenient entry of a legal aid lawyer, itself not the worst piece of expository bluster in the play, will similarly have members of that particular profession groaning in frustration. Talk may nonetheless be of interest if you care about WestConnex and other Sydney conversation-starters as much as the opening night audience, duly reacting to Biggins' carefully-inserted topical heavies, or if the idea of John Waters alone knocking a curve-ball out of the park is just too much to resist.

As international donors prepare to meet in Tokyo on 8 July to discuss Afghanistan's economic future, the focus should be on more than making new aid commitments. Donors should craft a longer-term agenda for good governance to tackle the country's immediate problems and prepare for the 2014 drawdown of foreign troops.
To ensure development and stability in the country, the Afghan government and the international community should:
- Strike the right balance between support for the army and building strong civilian institutions
- Focus on sustainable growth and development in addition to security
- Reduce aid dependency progressively and attract job-creating investments
- Combat corruption and empower civil society
- Resist creeping erosion of achievements in women's rights
- Engage in capacity-building for journalists, encourage new media
The good news is that with the right economic leadership, Afghanistan could grow at a respectable 5% in the coming years. The bad news is that corruption and graft continue to plague the country, endangering prospects for building a stable and prosperous Afghanistan.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai is hoping the conference in Tokyo will agree to aid pledges worth $4bn a year. Having already poured billions of dollars into the country – and given the current global economic slowdown – donors are understandably wary of making new commitments.
Donors should make sure Afghanistan has access to sustained financial support in the coming years – but they should also link such assistance more firmly to improved the governance.
The economic outlook for Afghanistan is more upbeat than many believe. The coming decade offers "high hopes, expectations, and great opportunities", according to World Bank Country Director Bob Saum.
The country is believed to have mineral reserves worth as much as $3tn, which could theoretically generate billions of dollars in tax revenue. More can also be done to tap into Afghanistan's agricultural potential.
Major strides have been made in schooling children and improving health for mothers and children but three-quarters of Afghans are illiterate and the average person earns only about $530 a year, according to the World Bank.
In addition, the situation of Afghan women remains precarious. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton among others has said she is "deeply troubled" by recent developments in the country, including the Afghan Justice Minister Habibullah Ghalib's suggestion that women's shelters were home to "immorality and prostitution".
"His comments set back efforts to fight violence against women in Afghanistan, including the need to provide victims with safe places to take shelter," Ashton said in a recent statement. "Too many Afghan women have experienced violence, gender-based and sexual, often on a repeated basis," she said, adding: "Women forced to resort to shelters are amongst the bravest Afghans we know."
The Afghan government has asked donors to channel more aid funds through the national budget rather than through contractors or aid groups. Donors are also being asked to better tailor aid to the government's priorities including health, education, agriculture and the mining sector.
Donors' response should, however, hinge on efforts to combat waste, fraud and corruption. They should also demand that Afghan promises are followed up by real action.

Probably you think I couldn't want anything in the world, being a grand duchess and living in splendid palaces and on yachts. But there are some things I wish for.
1. I wish Alexei could be cured. Recently he was sick again, and it was horrible. He curled up in a little ball, his hip swollen from the inside and so painful. He could hardly open his eyes the pain was so terrible. At times like that I don't even try to make him speak, let alone laugh. We all kneel and pray. Mama stays with him around the clock and has to be reminded to eat.
2. I wish I could have more friends. I love my sisters. Mashka and I are inseparable. But sometimes I really wonder what it's like out in the world, the real world, where the peasants live and where people are concerned about money. How do the children learn? Do they have tutors like ours?
3. I wish I could be kissed—a real kiss—before my sixteenth birthday. Then I would beat Olga.
4. I wish I didn't always have to wear hand-me-down clothes. They're lovely, certainly, but sometimes I think Mama and Papa dress us all the same because then they can think of us as one. But then, we are in our way. OTMA. I wouldn't want to give that up.
5. A puppy of my own. Tatiana has Ortino, Alexei has Joy. I'd love to have a puppy to love me best.
So now you probably think I am the most selfish girl ever. With all those wishes granted, life would be perfect. And nothing can be perfect, except for God. That is what Mama says. So I guess I'll just be content with the way things are.

Yes! We would love the opportunity to show you the building and discuss the details of your event. Please call us at (918) 965-1931 or fill out the form on the contact us page. We typically schedule tours from 8am-5pm Monday thru Friday. We can accommodate tours on weekends and occasional weekday evenings by appointment only.
Yes, we offer payment plans and we are happy to work with you. An initial deposit is due at the time of booking and you have the option to pay in full or to set up a monthly payment plan. For specific information, please contact the building directly. If you are booking within 3 months of your event, full payment is due at the time of booking.
At the Claremore Conference Center we have an open-vendor policy. You are able to bring in any vendor that you would like, including the caterer of your choice, with no restrictions. We have a list of recommended vendors that you are welcome to choose from but we do not require you to use anyone on that list, with the exception of our preferred bartender if you are planning on having alcohol. You can find a list of our recommended vendors on our preferred vendor list.
If you are planning on serving alcohol at your event, the Claremore Conference Center requires all clients to use our in-house bartenders unless a licensed & insured bartender is provided with the catering company. A security officer will be provided by the Claremore Conference Center for every 50 people. The Security is to be paid in cash before the event begins. We do not allow glass beer/wine/hard liquor bottles unless it is controlled by the bartender. Plastic cups are only permitted for any alcohol given to guests.
All sales are final. Once you are booked there is no refund of money upon cancellation or rescheduling. If you need to cancel and if your event is more than 90 days away and paid in full, we can issue you a Building Credit. Building Credits must be activated within 500 days from the day that you made your initial booking. This applies regardless of when your initial event date was scheduled or how far out you cancelled. Your Building Credit is only valid for 500 days from the date that you made the original booking. When booking an event with your Building Credit, you may only book as far in advance as the amount of time prior to your original event that you cancelled your date. For example, if you cancelled your original event 4 months before your event date and your event was paid in full, you would receive a Building Credit. If you wanted to book another event (using your Building Credit) for a date in May, you would have to wait until January to book your new event because you could only book your new event 4 months in advance using your Building Credit in that example.
In our vast experience in the event industry, we have found that it is stressful for the client, event host and the vendors to try to complete everything in a smaller block than 4 hours (9 hours for wedding events). This doesn't allow much time for the setup of food or personal items, and it adds undue tension. Because of this, we have competitively priced our time blocks so that you have a comfortable amount of time while still staying within your budget.
When you book your wedding, corporate or social event at the Claremore Conference Center, we include the following event essentials for no extra charge:
Tables, chairs, setup, take-down, wireless internet and of course a Hostess or two.
All of our rooms are equipped with a built-in projector, surround sound, and HDMI hook-ups for a laptop. We can also provide microphones (wired, wireless or lapel) blue-tooth sound, a podium and technical assistance.
*Charges do apply.
You are welcome to design a custom room layout with our event assistants. The use of birdseed, blowing bubbles, and sparklers* is permitted outside only for wedding and reception farewells. Rice, sawdust, confetti, glitter, spray string, sand, rocks, hay, artificial snow, pyrotechnics (fireworks) or similar materials are not permitted inside or outside the facility. Open flame is permitted as long as it housed in containers that are taller than the candles to catch the wax and so the flames are not exposed.
* Sparklers- If a fine is assessed to the client or to the Claremore Conference Center for improper use of sparklers, the client will be responsible for paying all fines in full (including those assessed to the Claremore Conference Center).
Yes! The bride/groom ready rooms provide a great space to get ready for the big day as well as store personal items during your event. Each room is rented individually unless you choose to book the whole building.
You are allowed access to your event space when your time block starts. If you will need extra time to decorate, make sure you take that into consideration when booking your event. When your time block begins, we will have all of your tables, chairs and tablecloths (if rented from us) set so the room will be ready for you or your vendors to decorate at that time.
*As a complementary gesture, we allow clients to come the day before to decorate during office hours if the room is not booked for another event
Yes. The Claremore Conference Center has a prep space that features a sink, refrigerator and counter space. We also provide ice, but our catering kitchen is not equipped with a stove. Clients can rent our kitchen for full use to access ovens, microwave, coffee/tea maker and our other rent-able items. Please note that the Claremore Conference Center does not provide plates, napkins, flatware or wait staff.
The Claremore Conference Center provides a prep space, however it does not come equipped with a stove. The prep space is ideal for preparing cold items and placing warm items in chaffing dishes or warmer. Caterers or restaurants should be prepared to bring the food in hot boxes to keep it warm for your event. Please note that the Claremore Conference Center does not provide plates, napkins, flatware or wait staff.
You and your guests are welcome to bring in your own food including homemade items if you would like.
Bookings can be done in person at the conference center or over the phone. For payment plan options, please make your reservation in the office or over the phone with a Claremore Conference Center representative.
The Claremore Conference Center is available for events every day from 7 am - midnight. On days when we do not have events scheduled, our business hours are Monday-Friday from 8 am - 5 pm.
Our lovely General Manager for both the Claremore Conference Center and the Holiday Inn Express & Suites is Cyndi Robinson. She can set up room blocks at the hotel for your event. She can be reached at either location.
