LOUDON, N.H. — Martin Truex Jr. felt a bit uneasy as he settled into a seat in the Nascar hauler where officials summon drivers who are accused of rules infractions, bruised from fistfights or found guilty of poor decorum.
"Anyone feel like they're in trouble for being here?" he asked.
The setting was a bit unfamiliar for Truex, one of Nascar's more popular drivers around the garage, but he was there for a chat not because he was in trouble. With a smile, Truex insisted he had been a stock car model citizen. Not one of his 396 career races had ended with him being called to the sport's version of the principal's office.
"It's a good record," he said, laughing.
But Truex — or at least his teams through the years — has been unable to completely steer clear of Nascar violations.
Truex's win last Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway in the postseason Chase for the Sprint Cup opener came under scrutiny when his No. 78 Toyota failed the postrace laser inspection. Jimmie Johnson's No. 48 Chevrolet failed the same inspection and was subject to the same 10-point penalty — until Nascar decided not to punish the drivers.
Free from any penalty, Truex said he hoped he could escape the accusation that the Furniture Row Racing team had cheated its way to victory lane.
"You don't want people to think you're winning races by what they call cheating," he said Friday. "You have people on social media, and they get upset about it. It was such a little thing. It so easily could have went the other way. It's frustrating that it kind of taints your win a little bit."
Nascar did make one change for Sunday's race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where all 16 Chase cars will go through laser inspection after only nine were picked after the Chase opener. The laser inspection station takes a precise look at cars — down to about one-thousandth of an inch — to find any potential violation.
Carl Edwards, a fellow Chase driver, backed Nascar's decision to reverse course on a penalty. Even if Nascar had decided to levy a points fine, Truex would have kept his win and advanced to the second round of the championship.
"They police this sport the way that we have asked them to police it," Edwards said.
Still, the first Chase race was marred by inspection talk as Nascar's version of the playoffs heats up.
"I think everybody realizes we don't need to be talking about that after a great race," Truex said. "I just feel like it puts a black eye on the sport and on the teams."
Truex does know about the fallout that comes from a cheating scandal. He was booted from the Chase in 2013 and lost his ride at Michael Waltrip Racing when the team tried to manipulate the outcome of a race.
What was his professional rock bottom turned into the ride of a lifetime when he landed with the single-car team at Furniture Row Racing. Truex was one of four drivers to race for the championship last season, and he has four wins over the last two seasons after having won just twice in almost a decade with other teams.
Buoyed by Furniture Row Racing's affiliation with Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota, Truex has again stamped himself a championship contender.
"We get everything that Gibbs gets," Truex said. When he was with Michael Waltrip Racing, he added, the team got the same information "from Toyota that Gibbs got, but we got nothing from Gibbs at all. It was two separate teams."
While Truex's career has skyrocketed, his former teammate Clint Bowyer has suffered through the worst season of his career as part of a one-year stopgap deal with HScott Motorsports. When the friends went on an August fishing trip, Bowyer bemoaned how badly his 2016 had gone.
Truex then pointed to his own career as an example of what could be ahead next season, when Bowyer moves to the retiring Tony Stewart's ride at Stewart-Haas Racing: Sometimes career rebirth can be as simple as a new team logo on the fire suit.

I was going to post about Information Technology and the types of pale and not so interesting boffins who speak in tongues about their BSB's and Cache's before postulating wisely, diagnosing and attempting to cure . . then the idea sort of flew off into the interweb before I could grasp it properly and come up with something sensible.
Then I thought I might blog about something incredibly cheerful given some of the low vibes that have been around this week but I couldn't think of anything other than ice cream and chocolate. Neither of which were at my disposal so it seemed a bit moot.
I came close to talking about jobs, their variety, meaning . . some of the ones I've loved, some I've hated, those I left and those I was asked to leave but it all got a bit tiresome.
So it's down to my extremely volatile emotional state at the moment. I'm totally spun out by what's happening to my body and more ostensibly to my whacky brain. I'm a a balanced, considered, just, ethical, practical and pragmatic person. I'm socially shy but not afraid to speak my mind. I can chair a meeting, multi-task and still think about what's on for dinner. I am creative, clever, helpful, mentoring, intelligent, very decisive and generally a good all rounder. Oh my . . . not lately. . . .I went home yesterday morning feeling physically sick and panicky because I'd forgotten something quite important and if I made eye contact with anyone in the office I would have simply had a histrioinic outburst. Not me at all.
What is wrong with me? . . . one day I have the concentration of a retarded goldfish . . .I forget things . . lots of things . . . my emotions are in a spin, she who does not cry wells up in a management meeting. My hair is falling out by the handful but doesn't seem to be getting any thinner, I'm hot at night (not in a good way), I'm anxious and needy, my appetite is pathetic but I still retain weight. Then the next minute, I'm high as a kite, happy as a lark, organised, fastidious, controlled, bursting with energy and ideas and totally on the top of my game.
Apparently it can be only one of three things:
A problem with my thyroid
The onset of clinical depression
Pre-menopause . . .
Laying any bets? Bring it on I say! Next week and Appt. with the quack . . . HRT it seems or a session on the couch with a shrink.

There are times when you cast off a project so pretty and so happiness inducing that you just want to wave it triumphantly as you parade through the streets. If knitters were in charge this would be totally acceptable social behaviour by the way. Here in out semi rural market town it might well raise some (well plucked) eyebrows so I am parading it here instead.
This shawl started life as a sock yarn blank from The Wool Kitchen and to be truthful I really didn't enjoy the process of knitting with the kinky yarn straight from the blank. I am reliably informed that at a tighter sock tension this is less of an issue but for me, with a garter stitch shawl at a looser gauge I wasn't happy with the fabric. But a quick reskein and took care of that and it was well worth the extra time for the hours of simple knitting pleasure this yarn gave me.
And judging by the time it took me to knit this version of my Fuss Free Festival Shawl I can scientifically confirm that it is indeed true. Rainbow yarn knits up significantly faster than regular yarn. Something about racing to get to the next colour, particularly when you can see it keeping out enticingly from the handwound ball.
So there we have it. A pretty, one skein shawl which knits up at the speed of light. All we need are unicorns and we are pretty much covered.

Money is vanishing.
In photography, the money is drying up. It is happening in every photographic genre.
Street photography never paid shit so lets just clear that up firstly. I'm not delusional here. I know that shooting candid photos of people having brunch at a hipster cafe in Denver isn't the roadmap to making 200k per year….
Wedding photography is changing however, and that genre is one of the holy trinity of cash cows in photography (the other two being photojournalism and portraiture).
Firstly, I blame Canon and Nikon. They have been engaged in a nuclear war for quite some time, and the fallout has been nothing less than the annihilation of the wedding photography market. Both camera and lens makers have been churning out high quality entry-level (consumer) DSLR's for over a decade and a half, and have placed them at a price point that tempts a casual shopper into trying his or her hand at photography. This in turn leads to casual shooters who realize early on that they can make money from these high resolution images they are taking. Unfortunately, the nubile shooters don't have much skill, but most of them are not foolish enough to ignore this fact. To compensate they may charge bargain basement prices to shoot a wedding, as low as $250 or even lower, as opposed to the $5000 a reputable and seasoned wedding photographer charges on average. Thats a huge fucking disparity.
It would seem logical that the seasoned photographer's photos would be qualitatively better than the nubile photographer's collection and this is indeed the case. The problem is the photos aren't $4500 better normally, at least not to the casual observer. This is blatantly obvious to price-conscious brides when viewing competing wedding portfolios, and will influence her decision. Thus the bride, not wanting to have a tacky amateur photographer but also not wanting to be financially raped, will settle on a happy medium: a photographer who charges between $1000-$2500 dollars. No problem right? Wrong.
People have mortgages, car payments, gambling habits and all sorts of fuckery to support with their photography. There are only a precious few brides getting married per year in a given community so the competition is horribly fierce EVERYWHERE. This will drag that $1000 down to $750 when an "early booking discount" is factored in or whatever. What follows is a buyers market, where brides have shooters tripping over themselves to book a wedding, as opposed to a sellers market where brides pay no less than premium for the services of very competent artists.
Photojournalism is dying because the print media is dead. Not really much to say about that. Sports Illustrated fired their ENTIRE staff of photographers a few years back, and then fired the department that fired the photographers a year later. Nuff fucking said….
The portrait market suffers from nearly the same woes as the wedding photography market. There are a lot of amateurs with capable gear who undercut the shit out of the masters of light…..
Of course cell phones getting better and better doesn't help pro photographers earn more money….
Where is the money then? I shoot sports but basically the clients are parents who want to buy photos of little Davon or Tyler playing football and soccer in high school. I see more and more Canon 6D's with 70-200 2.8 lenses on the sidelines these days, as moms have decided that its cheaper in the long run to invest in gear than to spend hours combing through photos only to buy one or two per season. Also, taking photos is fun so there's that……
Stock photography doesn't pay a lot unless you go all-in. If anybody makes a shit ton of cash from that then comment below please.
Selling fine art prints is…… some bullshit unless you can maintain the "mysterious artist" persona constantly. I am indeed a mysterious fucking artist but I'm too lazy to try to sell prints of my shit. That could change though…..
If you're making good money let me know what you do……

As a global bio-venture, SBI Biotech brings together multiple drug development pipelines through a global network of researchers in Japan, the United States, Israel, China, South Korea, and other countries. The company was originally founded in 2001 as Ginkgo Biomedical Research Institute by Dr. Ken-ichi Arai, a key executive of the DNAX Research Institute in the United States and head of the University of Tokyo's Institute of Medical Science.
Drug development bio-ventures in Japan commonly succeed in developing one drug but are subsequently unable to create seeds for future drug development activities. In 2012, SBI Biotech strengthened its pipelines and R&D capabilities by acquiring Quark Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a California-based bio-venture with a track record of success in the development of nucleic acid drugs, as a wholly owned subsidiary. This complementing structure should ensure a continuing stream of new drug development seeds.
Research into low-molecular drugs is waning amid a shift to biopharmaceuticals. This has led to a significant change in the drug development structures of major pharmaceutical companies, which are shifting from in-house development to an open innovation model. In Europe and North America, bio-ventures have already become an important source of drug development seeds. There is an urgent need for the creation of a similar structure in Japan, and the government has started to implement priority measures. Bio-ventures are expected to play an increasingly important role in the future. In addition to R&D activities centering on nucleic acid and antibodies, SBI Biotech is also determined to increase its contribution to the growth of the Japanese bio market in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies and university hospitals.

The Competition Commission recently conducted an inquiry into alleged discriminatory practices that the Defence Officers Housing Authority Islamabad-Rawalpindi (DHA) had undertaken against Nayatel (Private) Limited in respect of the provision of cable internet and telephony services. The inquiry committee found that the DHA held a dominant position in the relevant market and had abused this position by effectively and constrictively refusing to deal with Nayatel.
The Competition Commission recently conducted an enquiry following a complaint filed by Pakistan Services Limited against a number of other hotel operators for fraudulently using the complainant's registered trademark for the branding of their hotels. The commission found that the respondents had resorted to deceptive marketing practices by adopting marks that were identical or deceptively similar to the complainant's registered marks.
Pursuant to a complaint filed by Ferozsons Laboratories Limited, the Competition Commission recently started an enquiry into Neucon Pakistan for deceptive marketing practices under the Competition Act. The respondent's behaviour was judged to have been capable of deceiving consumers, which could in turn damage the complainant's business interests. In the interest of the general public, it was recommended that proceedings be initiated against Neucon for deceptive marketing practices.
In order to integrate and upgrade Pakistan's IP infrastructure and improve its services, public awareness and IP enforcement, the Intellectual Property Office recently proposed draft amendments to the Patents Ordinance. The proposed amendments, which aim to align the ordinance with the Intellectual Property Organisation of Pakistan Act, standardise office practices and streamline procedures, have been published on the office's website for public comment but have yet to be finalised.
The Sindh High Court recently overturned a registrar of trademarks' decision following an appeal by Moonlite Trading and rejected MF Enterprises' application to register its infringing FASTER BLACK COBRA mark. The decision applied the concept of totality of impression and the average consumer test to ascertain whether the registration of the FASTER BLACK COBRA mark would infringe Moonlite Trading's COBRA mark.
Aldo Group International AG filed a suit for trademark infringement and passing off against Aldo Shoes to restrain it from using the name and trademark ALDO in Pakistan in relation to its shoe business. While the single bench of the High Court of Sindh refused to grant injunctive relief to Aldo Group International AG, the court's appellate bench recently allowed its appeal against Aldo Shoes.
The High Court of Sindh recently allowed an appeal filed by Novartis AG against Nabiqasim Industries (Private) Limited and restrained the latter from using the trademark DESCOL on account of its similarity with Novartis's prior registered trademark LESCOL. The court's appellate bench asserted that in the case of pharmaceutical products, the public must be protected from the possibility of confusion at all times.
The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) provides the best option for obtaining an international patent. Pakistan plans to accede to the Madrid Protocol in 2019 and become a contracting member of the PCT in 2020. In this regard, the Intellectual Property Organisation of Pakistan is in the process of updating its IP laws, including the Patent Ordinance 2000, to incorporate the relevant PCT provisions.

Arlington, TX- MUSLIMS arrested with pipe bombs in car. But you won't know they are Muslims because the Media use headlines such as these:
'Arlington couple with pipe bombs in car to remain in jail until trial
'Woman overstated power of alleged pipe bombs'
'Tarrant woman's case shows challenge authorities face in distinguishing between erratic behavior, real threats'
A judge on Tuesday said Kimberly "Asma" Al-Homsi, 45, and an 18-year-old friend would remain in jail until tried on charges related to the possession of several pipe bombs.
Al-Homsi and Yasinul Alan Ansari, 18, both of Arlington, appeared in a Tarrant County federal court Tuesday afternoon before Magistrate Judge Charles Bleil following their arrest after being pulled over at the end of a police pursuit Saturday.
Bleil said at Tuesday's hearing that the pair must remain in jail because they are a flight risk. They are charged with a single count each of intentionally possessing an unregistered firearm — in this case a destructive device, the materials for pipe bombs.
During the hearing, federal authorities told Bleil that Al-Homsi has told them during questioning after their arrest that the pair made three pipe bombs out of materials, including ball bearings, purchased February 6 and 7 at Home Depot and Academy Sports and Outdoors.
Authorities did not say whether Al-Homsi said what she planned to do with the explosive devices. Neither Al-Homsi nor Ansari, who will get court-appointed attorneys, has yet entered a plea. About 5 p.m. Saturday, a motorist called 911 from State Highway 360 in Arlington to report that someone in a pickup had pointed a weapon at him in an apparent road-rage incident on West Abram Street.
Police found the truck and tried to pull it over, but the driver did not stop. The pursuit ended in Fort Worth after the truck carrying the pair hit ice at Rosedale Street near Loop 820. One of the pair told officers there was an "incendiary device" in the truck, authorities have said. Authorities found three pipes containing black powder which were detonated by bomb technicians, authorities said.
On Tuesday, they appeared in court wearing the same camouflage clothing they'd had on when arrested. Al-Homsi had shaved her head some time before the police chase. In 2005, Al-Homsi waved a fake grenade at a motorist on Central Expressway during a road-rage incident. She was put on probation for having a hoax bomb. That probation was revoked after July 2007, when she was arrested after a six-hour police standoff at her Arlington home and accused of having a pipe fashioned into an illegal firearm. Police also found black powder, shotgun shells, pipes and putty.
On several occasions, also in 2007, Al-Homsi and a friend were seen conducting what appeared to be surveillance at Dallas Love Field and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. They were clad in traditional Muslim garb with camouflage pants underneath during at least one of the incidents.
Al- Homsi has also claimed a friendship with Wadih el Hage, a former Arlington resident and former personal secretary of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. He received a life sentence for his part in a bombing conspiracy.
In interviews with The Dallas Morning News and WFAA-TV at the time, Al-Homsi said that she was being harassed because of stereotypes about her religion. She has denied having any links to terrorism. DALLAS NEWS

I wonder if there is a political movement who would stop this dead in its tracks, this manipulation and warmongering, this dirty dealing, which would halt the sale of arms to nations using their military power for nefarious and uncareful purpose? Tell me, what British political movement, in existence today, which party leadership is most against all of this, do you think?
I smell a change in the wind coming.

The Netherlands had hoped to gather support for its proposal that the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) in Geneva establish an inquiry to look into war crimes and civilian deaths in Yemen, The Guardian reported.
The proposal, submitted Friday by Slovakia on behalf of the EU, was replaced by a much weaker call for the UN body to dispatch a mission "to monitor and report on the situation" after the UK refused to give its backing.
Human Rights Watch and other rights groups protested the UK's stance, accusing it of protecting its arms deals with the Saudi regime.
The thread linked below was on the topic of Saudi Arabia's war crimes in Yemen.
One in three Saudi air raids on Yemen hit civilian sites, data shows
What do the supposed "good guys" (the U.S. and the UK) on the world stage do about Saudi Arabia's war crimes in Yemen?
In the case of the U.S., a few Senators speak out, there's some political theater, and the United States promptly makes a $1.15 billion arms transfer to Saudi Arabia. The article at the top of this post tells you what the UK is doing. All of this supports the worldview that Jordan Maxwell has been trying to convey for years. The world system is a business with no ethics or morals, and it's not much else.
"Why has Saudi Arabia been largely immune from direct public criticism from political leaders simply because they are a few degrees separated from the terrorists who are often inspired by the ideology their money helps to spread?" Murphy said at the time. "There's growing evidence that our support for Saudi-led military campaigns in places like Yemen are prolonging humanitarian misery and aiding extremism."
"There's an American imprint on every civilian life lost in Yemen," Murphy told CNN in August. "Because, though the Saudis are actually dropping the bombs from their planes, they couldn't do it without the United States."
Senator Chris Murphy: US support for Saudi Arabia 'can't be unconditional'

Par for the course.
Eventually, if one studies international affairs and history thoroughly, one comes to the realization that none of the wars the West engages in are to fight for the freedom of ourselves nor the countries in question. It's all for geo-political hegemony. Neither is our choice of allies based on freedom, democracy, nor human rights. Our choice is purely based on their willingness to go with the global hegemony plan. If you are a democratically elected leader yet decide to fight the powers that be, you have a very good chance of being removed or regime changed, with a non-democratic despot installed that is friendly to the West. If you are a dictator yet are willing to shill for the West, then you will be an ally, until you are in the way of the game plan.
This, is everything.

Our "Bin" Memories
An open letter to all former employees and trainees of Nature's Bin/Cornucopia Inc.
As "The Bin" closed it's doors for good on November 12, 2016, may we take some time to recall old memories. In my heart, "it's see ya soon" from this Bin grad. For others …hearts are broken, as this is a funeral of an institution that provided work and friendship for so many. Please remember that when one door closes, another will open. New, exciting adventures await. Just like little kid's, "let's embrace this new era of uncertainty with wide-eyed eagerness, optimism, and willingness to venture into the unknown."
May we all look back at our time at the bin fondly and remember all of the good occasions ( March 22, 2016- Volume 12, Issue 7) and friends made.
God Bless dear friend, you will never be forgotten by me and so many others that you have lifted through the years.

This is a rare genetic disorder first described in 1965 by Harry Angelman (1915-1996), an English physician. The behavioural features of Angelman's syndrome (AS) include a happy demeanour, easily provoked laughter, short attention span, hypermotoric behaviour, mouthing of objects, sleep disturbance and an affinity for water.
- AS is caused by a lack of expression of the maternally inherited UBE3A gene in the brain.
- This can be due to:
- Deletion of the AS critical region on maternal chromosome 15q11-q13 (the most common type).
- Paternal uniparental disomy (UPD) for chromosome 15.
- An imprinting defect causing lack of expression of the maternal copy of UBE3A.
- Mutations in the maternally inherited copy of UBE3A.
- UBE3A is one of a small subset of human genes that are imprinted. This means that it is expressed, depending on parent of origin, in a tissue-specific manner.
- In the brain, the paternally derived UBE3A gene is silenced, and only the maternally inherited copy is active.
- However, there is a subgroup of patients with a clinical diagnosis of AS for whom no abnormality of UBE3A can be identified.
- In most cases the recurrence is extremely rare – less than 1%.
- However, some deletions are familial and carry a 50% risk of recurrence.
- When the UBE3A mutations are inherited from the mother's paternally acquired allele then the recurrence risk is also 50%.
- Its prevalence ranges from 1:10,000 to 1:40,000.
- Diagnosis is commonly made at age 3-7 years, when the clinical features and behaviours become apparent.
- The prenatal course and birth are normal.
- There is normal head circumference at birth and there are no major birth defects.
- Developmental delay is apparent by 6 months.
- There is forward progression with no loss of skills once acquired.
Consensus criteria for clinical features
Consistent features
Motor signs
- Functionally severe developmental delay.
- Gross motor milestones are delayed:
- Sitting occurs by 12 months; walking at 3-4 years.
- 10% fail to walk.
- Legs are wide-spaced and feet are flat and turned out.
- There are disorders of movement and balance with ataxia, and tremulous movement of limbs.
- There is jitteriness from 6 months with irregular, coarse movements that prevent walking, feeding and reaching for objects.
- There may be toe-walking or a mild prancing gait.
- They tend to lean forward or lurch when they run.
- There is speech impairment with no or minimal use of words.
- Receptive and non-verbal communication skills are better.
- Even in the highest-functioning cases conversation does not develop.
- Cases caused by UPD are clinically less severe, with a vocabulary of up to 30 words reported.
- There are unique behaviours – a combination of laughter and smiling, an apparent happy demeanour and excitable personality.
- Laughter is an expressive motor event and most stimuli will produce it.
- Hand-flapping is common, as is hyper-motor behaviour and short attention span, impairing social interaction.
- There is a tendency to pinch, grab and bite in older children.
Frequent features
- Delayed disproportionate head circumference growth.
- Absolute or relative microcephaly by age 2 years; 34-88% have absolute as defined as within the lowest 2.5% centile.
- Epilepsy occurs in around 90% of cases and may present with multiple seizure types, including non-convulsive status epilepticus.
- Seizures are often intractable and typically require broad-spectrum antiepileptic medications.
- The electroencephalography (EEG) shows high amplitude, bilateral spike and wave activity, which is symmetrical, synchronous and monorhythmic, having a slow wave component at two cycles per second.
- Sleep disorders are also common, often characterised by abnormal sleep-wake cycles.
- The sleep disorders may be related to abnormal serum melatonin profiles.
- Poor sleep does not significantly interfere with daytime alertness.
- Sleep problems commonly diminish by late childhood, with continuing improvement through adolescence and adulthood.
Associated features
- Strabismus is present in 30-60%.
- Increased tendon reflexes.
- Uplifted, flexed arms when walking.
- Tongue thrusting and swallowing problems (leading to feeding problems in infancy).
- Movement disorders are nearly universal in those with AS, most frequently presenting with ataxia and tremor.
- Hypopigmentation of the eyes and skin, typically in deletion-caused cases – sun-sensitive.
- Prominent mandible with a wide mouth and wide-spaced teeth.
- Flat occiput.
- Frequent drooling.
- Excess chewing/mouthing.
- Increased sensitivity to heat, and fascination with water.
Differential diagnosis
- There are several characteristics shared with autism. Many are given a secondary diagnosis of autism. However, children with AS tend to be highly sociable in contrast to typical autistic peers.
- There is significant overlap with Rett's syndrome.
- Swallowing and feeding problems may lead cases to present with failure to thrive, lactose intolerance or gastro-oesophageal reflux.
- The brain is structurally normal on CT or MRI scan. However, if there is any abnormality it is usually mild cortical atrophy and/or mildly decreased myelination.
- In the presence of normal chemical, haematological, metabolic tests and normal brain imaging, high-resolution chromosome analysis, including material from both parents, is undertaken.
- Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) is able to detect 80-85% of all deletions.
- DNA methylation testing increases pick-up rate.
Suggested interventions include:
- Behaviour modification programmes
- Speech therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Physiotherapy
- Parental training
Behavioral treatment may be a reasonable way to address sleep problems in some children with AS.
Parents of children with AS have an increased risk of high levels of stress and mental health problems.]These need to be addressed and managed appropriately.
The most common preschool education programme used is 'Portage'. This provides particular help with language, socialisation, self-help skills and cognitive and motor skills in a step-wise fashion at home.
A statement of special educational need will be required for specialist provision after 5 years.
- It is common that a combination of treatment with anticonvulsants is needed to control seizures.
- Sodium valproate and clonazepam are the most effective medications and carbamazepine is one of the least effective.
- Sleep patterns may be helped by melatonin.
They have good general health and a normal lifespan.
- Clinical features alter with age:
- As adults there is improvement in sleep patterns and hyperactivity.
- Frequency of seizures also diminishes and may stop.
- Females can tend to become obese.

Whether you are looking at a condominium as an affordable first home or as a perfect place to downsize, do not forget to check the condo fees. As you start to search for condos in the Washington area or around the country, you will soon realize the amount you will pay to a condo association varies wildly from one development to another.When you are financing your condo purchase, your lender will include that condo fee in your debt-to-income ratio, which compares your gross monthly income with the minimum payment on all recurring debt. The condo fee — along with your principal, interest, property taxes and homeowner's insurance — will be part of your housing payment. Some condo buildings are approved for FHA (Federal Housing Administration) financing, and others are not. This is something home buyers, particularly first-time ones, must consider when condo shopping.
Even if you are paying cash for your condo, you will need to keep in mind that unlike other debts, your condo fee will never be paid down to zero. Not only will you always be obligated to pay it while you own the condo, the fee could also increase over time to keep up with inflation, to pay for ongoing community maintenance and to bolster the condo association reserve fund.
What condo fees cover
Among the reasons condo fees vary from one community to another are the size and age of the development as well as the amenities and features covered by the fee.
Large developments that pay a management company can have higher fees than a small self-managed building. However, splitting costs between just four or six units can mean condo fees are a bit higher than a building with 10 or 15 units.
Older condos often have higher fees than newer buildings because they need to factor in repair and replacement of common-area heating and air conditioning systems, an elevator or a surface parking lot.
When examining condo fees, it is important to realize you are not making a dollar-for-dollar comparison. While condo association fees typically cover a reserve fund for major repairs, a master insurance policy for the community, maintenance of the development and trash and snow removal, various other things may or may not be covered.

For example, some condo fees include utilities such as water, cable service, gas and electricity. Others cover some or none of those utilities. You need to know which services are covered and which you will pay for, as well as an estimate of those utility bills.

Why is the Sky Blue?
Ever wondered looking at the sky why it seems to be blue in color most of the times? The reason may be simple but surprisingly interesting. Let us know why the sky is blue in color and what is the science behind it? Usually, a clear cloudless sky in the day-time looks blue because of the air molecules scattering blue light. However, in the evening times, there is more scattering of red and yellow light. This is because, during this time, the blue light is scattered away from the line of sight.
We know that light is made up of all colors. That is, sunlight holds the entire rainbow colors – violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. The air molecules in the Earth's atmosphere interact with the rays of sunlight before reaching our eyes. These interactions cause scattering of particular color of the spectrum. Usually, the atmosphere scatters the higher-energy or high frequency color portion of the sunlight more than the low-frequency portion. This is why blue portion of the spectrum is scattered more than the red portion of the sunlight.
Rayleigh scattering
In 1859, the phenomenon of blue sky was studies by John Tyndall. He demonstrated that blue color has shorter wavelength and is scattered more strongly than the red ones. This phenomenon was explained as the Tyndall effect. Later, it was explained in detail and the phenomenon of light scattering was commonly called the Rayleigh scattering, named after the physicist Lord John Rayleigh.
It is because of this phenomenon that the Sun appears to be reddish-yellow in the sky and the other parts are colored in blue. However, this blue sky is not the same all the time. We can see different colored sky at different times of a day. When the Sun is lower in the horizon, that is, during the sunrise or sunset, the light travels through a thick atmosphere causing more scattering of light. As a result, the sky appears to be not just blue but a mixture of yellow, orange, and sometimes even green shades. During this time, the sun appears to be much redder or orangey.

I am a freshman at the University of Notre Dame who is actually from NY. I've competed in the Western Long Island Regional 6 times (twice in Div B and four times in Div C) as well as the NYS Science Olympiad four times (two times in each division). I have also served as an event supervisor in the Div B competition while competing at the Div C level.
To be perfectly honest, this past year without Science Olympiad has been pretty boring so I'm trying to take on a new task. It is my intention to host a regional competition at the University of Notre Dame as soon as next year (2012). However, before I approach the university and ask for its permission, I wanted to see if you had any information that you think I should know.
I come from a regional where I compete in a single Division C competition where 70+ teams compete for 7 spots to the state tournament. From what I heard, in Indiana, regionals host both divisions the same day and only host a max of 12 teams per division. I'd also love to know what you all love about your regionals and wish could be improved on! I truly feel that UND would be great for a SciOly competition and I want to see if you feel the same way! Please post! I promise to read!
Your Fellow Science Olympaid (and hopefully Regional Coordinator),

Quality colour printing which endures
Offset Litho
For clear, detailed multicoloured decoration on hard or soft covers, off-set printing is the best option. This is the process that most wet-ink printing is produced. Litho generates a flat image on the sheet from a smooth plate that has been chemically treated. We can print onto a variety of paper varying from 60gsm paper weight for carbonless paper for invoice pads to 350gsm board weight for menus or business cards.
We provide one colour to full colour printing. Full colour printing (also known as process colour) is when all colour is derived from the 4 primary colours; Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Single colour printing, (also known as special colours) is run separately on our presses. This produces a richer flat colour and will enhance the look and quality of the final print job.
We are proud to announce that we have just installed the latest in world class Digital printing technology in the Canon Image Press C6010, We are the only company in Lanzarote to have a machine of this quality and the run times and true colour match are incredible, an example being that in the past if a client wanted 5000 x A6 flyers full colour both sides the job would take on average 3 days, we can now produce the same work in under 24 hours
Binding services include the following processes:
Perfect Binding
Dye Cutting
For Surface Matt or Gloss Lamination
Lamination comes in two forms, matt or gloss. This is a surface lamination only, which is ideal for business cards or brochure covers to create a sensuous look and feel.
Encapsulation is where the entire job is sealed in clear plastic and airtight – ideal for menus and posters to give them durability and longevity.

As so many of us are aware, we are living in an era of extreme rapid & continuous change, driven largely by the technological leaps of the Digital Age. These are impacting exponential shifts in customers needs, priorities, preferences & expectations that affect all of us, no matter what business we are in, or what kind of lives we lead. These are also effecting the need for agile business transformations that balance strategy and people with technology.
"The accelerating pace of change is unfamiliar and unprecedented. To some, this change is a threat; to others, it's an opportunity; for most, it's both… and we're all struggling to adjust to this new state of dynamic equilibrium".
What is so often forgotten is that all these changes originate in the minds of human beings, for some, who see the changes as an opportunity the ultimate outcomes will be determined by human ingenuity. For others, who see change as a threat, it will be determined by complacency, panic, anxiety and fear, where people feel that everything they know & are familiar with, is under challenge. Especially in the Digital Age, where agile business transformations require a strategic and human centred approach to be successful./
So, how can we prepare people to make the fundamental choice between the future as a series of threats or as a field of opportunities, that cannot be predicted or controlled?
"The ultimate outcome will be determined not by the technology itself, but by human ingenuity, collaboration, and an explicit intention to try to make the world a better place."
At ImagineNation™ we know that organizations who invest in agile business transformation, to speedily adapt to changing market demands, embrace a strategic, systemic & human centred approach, achieve mastery over the interface between people & digitization in the Digital Age.
"What we sometimes forget is that all this change originates in the minds of human beings. Disruption isn't just happening to us; we are the force behind it. If individuals aren't being creative and working disruptively, businesses and technologies aren't going to change and disrupt either".
We also know that building an organizational culture that embraces & embodies a values-based approach, focusing on trust, creativity & collaboration, enables people to collectively & equally comfortable with what can be known and with exploring what is unknown. Considering that the leadership& teaming paradigms have shifted, creating an increasing need for innovation coaching, to fill people's skills as well as their "knowing-doing" gaps to survive & thrive in an ever-changing world.
Playing in both the opportunity and threat fields
Involves people having permission to be creative & work disruptively, to do this, they need to firstly expand their capability, capacity & confidence for navigating change, developing adaptiveness & innovation agility, & also exploring new ways of connecting people & technology by:
- Working at ways to "unfreeze" the status quo, & reduce people's fears, discomfort and resistance, which allow for deviant & opposing views, to seek out the diversity & differences of thoughts & ideas within teams.
- Shifting from conventional ways of thinking & business as usual approaches, towards embracing risk & actively experimenting within a fail fast to learn fast context.
Requiring leaders to demonstrate;
- Deep conviction in their passionate purpose when navigating positive change & uncertainty.
- Receptivity & readiness, empathy & empowerment in leading people & teams in the face of uncertainty.
- Emotional integrity in their embodiment & enactment of deep presence & the key values & attributes they wish to see in others.
- Customer & people centric ways of doing business balanced by commercial business acumen.
- Execution, digital & risk mastery.
Coaching innovation leaders & teams
It is more important than ever, to teach people to unlearn, through structured coaching processes, their habitual ways of being, thinking & doing. To create the safe space for people to learn how to embrace creative & collaborative ways of enhancing their bravery, boldness, determination & courage in uncertain times in the Digital Age by;
- Imagining new possibilities boldly and optimistically, whilst simultaneously understanding they are quite likely to emerge sooner than expected.
- Pursuing amusement & wonder, whilst simultaneously trusting that smart risk taking allows people to learn fast from mistakes & failure.
- Unlearning knowing and doing what they have always done, whilst simultaneously adopting a beginner's mind to allow new learnings to occur.
- Being curious about the future & blend new ways of planning, including strategic foresight, scenario planning into conventional business planning.
Key capabilities to prepare people for a future we cannot predict in the Digital Age
Some of the key competencies we can teach & coach people to help prepare them for a future they cannot predict include;
- Design, creative & critical thinking to help them make sense of and perceive their worlds with fresh eyes.
- Start Up Methodologies to experiment with new business models, with iteration & pivoting new services, products & delivery streams that can be scaled & leveraged.
- Generative Discovery skills in deep listening, questioning and debating to provocate & disrupt the status quo.
- Teaming & networking to break down silo's, identify & maximize interdependencies, collaborate & build high value delivery eco-systems.
Making 24 minutes a day matter
In Josh Bersin's "The Disruption of Digital Learning: Ten Things we have learned" he revealed that employees are feeling "overwhelmed" and in reality, only have "24 minutes a day to learn". To seriously prepare people for a future we cannot predict, then we must work harder at making people feel & believe that they matter. Doing this strategically & systemically, will energize, catalyze, mobilize and harness your people's receptivity to change & uncertainty & unleash their innovation potential.
What really matters in mastering the challenges of the Digital Age is including culture as part of an agile business transfromation. Where people's career successes are advanced through coaching, so people feel safe, empowered & have permission to participate in on the job experiential learning in an era of extreme rapid & continuous change.
Where they can learn from mistakes; supported by effective performance data and rewards systems within a culture of learning to imagine, create, capture and scale hidden value in the increasingly complex and dynamic world in the Digital Age.

The 'supporting areas' of Northern Sea Route as localities of contested authority

|Abstract text
To study Northern Sea Route (NSR) in a social perspective means to look at it not only as a sea traffic line, or a bunch of seamen navigating through the Arctic seas, but also as communities in those localities that NSR connects. Although within the research project «Harbors of Transarctic Route: Space and Societies of Russia's Arctic Coast» we regard NSR as a passage through the Russian Arctic seas from Murmansk to Petropavlosk-Kamchatskii, data collected in October – November 2017 shows that NSR should be examined in a broader social context that reveals interconnections with other transport infrastructures in the Arctic (such as winter roads or air traffic), or with specific territorial (industrial) zones that shape the major functions performed by NSR. In this presentation I discuss the case of Sabetta, one of the best-known supporting areas (opornye tochki) of NSR that is being constructed since 2012 in conjunction with the plant for production of Arctic Liquefied Natural Gas (Yamal SPG). Transportation of LNG through this seaport westward and eastward ties Yamal Peninsula to NSR area and simultaneously confirms the status of NSR as a sea line of high demand. I focus on the analysis of management, development and everyday control over this particular supporting seaport. Basing on anthropological studies of sovereignty, I argue that contemporary construction of NSR as a specific Arctic area relies on interplay between state and private (in our case – industrial) actors in their shared governance of the coastal territory.

'No damage' in Dubai after tremors from Iraq earthquake are felt by residents
Nearly 1,400 km from Dubai, only slight vibrations were felt by residents in high-rise buildings, Dubai Municipality said
A deadly earthquake that hit Northern Iraq late on Sunday resulted in tremors that were reported by many residents of the UAE.
On Monday, Dubai Municipality said the tremors did not cause any damage to the emirate, despite some residents of high-rise buildings feeling vibrations.
"With the epicenter of the earthquake being 1,378 km away from the emirate, the quake was felt only by high-altitude residents and tall towers where some individuals felt a slight vibration that had no effect on individuals and buildings," said Mohammed Mashroom, survey director at Dubai Municipality.
The 7.3 magnitude earthquake, which has resulted in more than 300 deaths and over 5,200 injured, could be felt around 10.11pm UAE time throughout the country.
Residents immediately took to social media to share their experiences.
Mohamed Zorob posted on Twitter about the earthquake in the UAE, with people responding from Fujairah, Sharjah and even Kuwait.
Did anyone else feel that earthquake in the UAE?— Mohamed Zorob (@TheZorob) November 12, 2017
Twitter user Vipul had his yoga session interrupted, throwing off his balance. He described a dizzy feeling, and then realised it was the Iraq earthquake aftershock.
And I thought I was dizzy!— Subhash Nayak (@subhashnayak7) November 12, 2017
Residents can download Dubai Municipality's smartphone application, DB-SAFE/Oasis Plus, to identify locations both locally and regionally as well as viewing safety guidelines.
"Any user can send the extent of tremor felt, which will have a major impact in the accurate assessment of the impact of earthquakes on the facilities in Dubai," said Iman Al Falasi, the municipality's geodetic and marine survey section head.
