Big rain scenes may have been all right once, so the story goes, but lately they've been overdone and overused, and are now utterly dead to us. Hollywood has drowned, devalued, and Oscar-baited with the climactic deluge for at least the past decade, and the on-going transfiguration of film into post-produced mush spiked with graphic-novel cliché has white rain against a black background (go 2 mins 20 secs in) as its calling card. Recent rom-coms' puddles too overflow: John Cusack has starred in The Rain for the last 20 years, and 'Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed.' (go 1 min in) remains a contender for 'Line most likely to make a date eat his or her own head.'
And yet, and yet, rain scenes aren't going anywhere. Rain is an unrivalled, naturally justified diffuser of light and sound. It shortens visual and aural focus alike, so that rain, like darkness, intensifies and excites by subtraction (only multi-modally). And whereas darkness evokes the vulnerabilities that attach to our sleep cycle, rain speaks romantically to our origins. In the rain we're kids, maybe even momentarily embryonic: slippery, open to pleasure, but also unformed and exposed to danger. Rain even tweaks some people's sense of themselves as creatures whose distant ancestors emerged from the sea (which is how poet Don Patterson explains his weakness for films that start with rain).
Which rain scenes have floated your boat (and might make for a better, wet movie future), and why? Are you a sucker for the first drops, the gentle drizzle, or the hard blast? Streaming down an upturned face or beating against a window-pane? Establisher of metaphysical mood or action element? Kurosawa's ink or Donen & Kelly's milk? H2O, data, or frog? Just don't tell us you hadn't noticed.
1) Kurosawa's breakthrough film, Rashomon (1950), uses characters sheltering from a storm as a framing device. The inky rain itself establishes metaphysical mood: everything is dark, nothing is settled. The characters tell stories to each other to pass the time, and by the time they finish, the rain will have stopped, and the framing device will be in play.
2) In Gold Diggers of 1933 (go 5 mins in if you must), Busby Berkeley uses pettin' in the park (bad boy!) in the rain, America's girl next door, Ruby Keeler, now dewily gorgeous (bad girl!), and a demented 'baby' to lift spirits at the rock-bottom of the Great Depression.
3) Attn: Richard Curtis. You need to write a musical, not just a rom-com, if you want to get away with weather-contravening hyperbole. A drenched Gene Kelly goo-goos 'From where I stand, the Sun is shining all over the place' then nails one of the greatest, most purely pleasurable sequences in film history in Singin' in the Rain (1952).
4) In Foreign Correspondent (1940) (go 1 min 55 secs in), Hitchcock synthesizes the modern, rain-soaked action sequence out of the materials Eisenstein and Murnau bequeathed to him. Craned, moving cameras wittily cover the unfolding action, and their shots are cut together with closeups of guns, faces, and ultra-violence. Not obviously improved upon until:
5) The chase scene in Se7en (1995). It begins with Somerset and Mills in a hallway, hearing rain fall - as though the city's so dismal, it's pouring inside -, and knocking on what is in fact John Doe's door. We hit the rain proper at 3 mins 40 secs, and achieve maximally gluey torrent-hood at 5 mins 30 secs.

Drained of colour...
Some of my favourite black and white pics... I love the medium. It is so emotive -- when the human eye is not confused by lots of colours, the mind can perceive better the shapes and lighting of the scene. I am not claiming that it is not possible to take coloured pictures. On the contrary, it is more difficult to conceive an aesthetically pleasing coloured shot. However, I am biased towards the monochromatic medium.
This is actually a coloured image that I digitally desaturated. I like it better than the original version. A tea mug that someone left on the window sill in my old office.
My favourite Goa, yet again.
Shyam, a waiter at an Irani cafe that we frequent on weekends. This is not a candid shot -- I asked him to sit at the table and look outside, but he kept staring at the camera.
People on street. I just like the way people sit on the ground in India. It is very rustic and endearing.

One of my fashion regrets, you can find way back when I started my blog and that's the legging as trousers phase. I don't mean the one where I wore leggings and a tee, no I mean the phase when I used to tuck tops into my leggings as if they were a joni jean. seriously why?!
So have fun laughing at some of these disastrous throwback photos. I really hope my photography skills have improved since.
WHY?! I just don't understand.
As you can tell I really loved those peace leggings. I thought this was just a fun little post and I hope you enjoyed. Feel free to leave fashion regret in the comments below or even do a post and leave the link!

The Gorham Town Council will decide Tuesday whether to ask voters again if they want to upgrade their police and fire department headquarters.
The latest plan calls for a $5 million renovation and expansion of the Public Safety Building on Main Street, which would include the construction of a new building for the police department, leaving the existing building for the sole use of the fire department.
Town Manager David Cole said the council will decide Tuesday whether to hold a townwide vote on the project on Nov. 4 and set a public hearing for Sept. 2.
Last year, voters resoundingly rejected a $6.3 million plan to renovate the former Little Falls school into the new public safety headquarters. The police and fire departments currently share the same building on Main Street that was constructed in the 1970s. The town first identified there was a space crunch there in 1999. Town officials say there's a need for more sleeping areas and showers for firefighters, interview rooms for the police department, and offices, conference rooms and storage space for both agencies.
"We have made do for a number of years knowing that we would one day benefit from the citizens of Gorham realizing that we need a suitable facility in which to conduct business," said Police Chief Ronald Shepard, who said it's a coincidence that he's planning to retire on Nov. 4 – Election Day.
In the new plan, two bays for fire department apparatuses would be added to the existing building and the layout would be altered for a more efficient design, according to Andrew Hyland of Port City Architecture.
The fire station would also house a new training area for both departments, which could also be used as an emergency operations center for the town.
A new 10,000-square-foot police station would be built between the existing building and Main Street.
Hyland said that if voters approve the funding in November, the project could be completed by the late spring of 2016.

Welcome! It's time for another Safe Withdrawal Rate case study! Please click here for the other seven installments. Today's volunteer is "Mr. Corporate Refugee," not his real name, obviously. But as the name suggests he is ready to pull the plug on the corporate grind. He and his wife did everything right to prepare for early retirement. Pay off the mortgage on their house (as recommended by yours truly) and accumulate a nice nest egg close to seven figures. The only problem: they reside in a high-cost-of-living area in California and more than half of their net worth is tied up in their primary residence. Even a portfolio as large as $1 million will likely not be sufficient to cover expenses in your current location. What to do now? I'll propose two routes to early retirement. Move to a cheaper location, a "secret" low-income-tax paradise – more on that below, and be able to retire now. Or work for only four more years and retire in the current location. Let's go through the math…

See that house over there? It's an investment!
Few topics in personal finance and in the early retirement community stir up emotions as nicely as the pros and cons of homeownership. Some folks in the FIRE community are renters and swear by it and others are very happy homeowners and/or real estate investors. Neither side is wrong. Those with more nomadic lifestyles probably prefer renting and the those with kids in school and strong ties to the local community are apparently happy homeowners. Normally, the two sides just coexist peacefully but discussions normally get heated and sparks fly when one side accuses the other of doing something wrong. If I had to distill the arguments of the two sides into bumper stickers it would be:
- Homeowners: Renting is just throwing away money!
- Renters: A house is not an investment at all. Or it's a terrible investment!
But of course, both claims are just that: bumper stickers. And both claims are demonstrably false and/or crude generalizations! Let's look more into the math of the rent vs. own tradeoff…Read More »
Ask Big Ern: A Safe Withdrawal Rate Case Study for "Ms. Almost FI"

Today's volunteer is Ms. Almost FI and that's not her real name, of course. She's planning to retire early in 2019 and this causes a lot of anxiety: Does she have enough money?

The Shockingly Simple/Complicated/Random Math Behind Saving For Early Retirement
One of my favorite Mr. Money Mustache articles is the "Shockingly Simple Math" post. It details how frugality is able to slash the time it takes to reach Financial Independence (FI). That's because for every additional dollar we save we reduce the time to FI in two ways: 1) we grow the portfolio faster when we save more and 2) we reduce the savings target in retirement by consuming less.
That got me thinking: Is the math really that simple? How sensitive is the savings horizon to different rates of returns? What happens if we use historical returns instead of one specific expected return assumption? How important is the asset allocation (stock vs. bond weights) on the path to early retirement? How much does the equity valuation regime (e.g. the initial CAPE ratio when starting to save) matter?
So, in typical Big ERN fashion, I take an ostensibly simple problem and make it more complicated!
Let's get the computer warmed up and start calculating…

Manor Primary School (MPS) is, by Dubai standards, a small primary school, catering for students from Foundation Stage 1 to Year 6. Our school is ideally located on Sheikh Zayed Road, within the prime residential area of Al Safa 1. We provide an attractive, well maintained environment and place a high priority on fostering home and school partnerships to promote student learning.
Our school opened with 54 founding students and will grow to a maximum capacity of 40 places in each of the Foundation Stages and 60 in Years 1 to 6. We have affiliations with local nurseries which creates a natural progression from these establishments to MPS. Even at full capacity we will be a small community and remain a school where every student is known individually.
Our students are taught in well organised, purposeful and inviting classrooms. There are positive and affirming relationships between teachers and students as well as amongst the students themselves. Teachers have high expectations for their students' learning and behaviour.
All teachers at MPS provide a variety of educational opportunities through well planned lessons which have a clear focus on learning. Our teachers share the lesson objectives with students and provide informative feedback which includes the students' next steps for progression. Students are grouped both within and across classes to meet their learning needs. School work is made dynamic and relevant through integration with different subject areas in addition to linking core skills, such as reading and writing.
Our staff and students are supported by a Governing Board which provides clear direction in the management of the school. Trustees work with teachers, students and the wider community to ensure priority is given to meeting the needs of our students. This is reflected in the Board's comprehensive strategic and annual plans.
Our school has a supportive and integrated parent community. Parents are kept well informed about school matters and how they can be involved in their child's learning.
We welcome you to our community and we would love the opportunity to showcase our school to you.
We are open for applications and welcome enquiries now.


text: Legal and Illegal Immigration in the U.S. A Persuasive essay on why the United States needs to improve security its borders. Topics: United States, Al-Qaeda, Taliban Pages: 1 (320 words) Published: April 1, 2003 Immigration Immigration in the United States has grown to an all time high. Now when someone hears the word immigration they automatically think of "illegal" immigrants from Mexico. But it's people from all countries, legal and illegal. I will give my reasons why the United States should place more restrictions on immigrants. When the two World Trade Center towers where destroyed everyone immediately thought of terrorist's. Later United States intelligence linked it to Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden had his people from his army come to the United States and get information on how to carry out his plan. The terrorist's even trained on U.S. soil to get more knowledge on how U.S. machinery, security, and aviation works. Now those terrorists came to America legally. Most of the immigrants come here illegally. I think that the U.S. should place troops on the Mexican boarder and the Canadian boarder to minimize the number of illegal immigrants entering the country. Now someone may argue that immigrants contribute to the strong U.S. economy by filling jobs, and even paying taxes. And that tighter restriction would compound the economic harm from the terrorist attacks. But the truth is the nation can't afford to have immigrants in the county when INS cannot track them. Furthermore more the immigrants have taken job opportunities from the native-born Americans, and lowered wages. I'm sure that if the United States doesn't fix this problem the unemployment rate will grow much higher in our country. I feel that the United States should place much more restrictions on the people coming into the U.S. Legal and illegally. I have already said that many immigrants have taken many job opportunities away form the native born Americans and that the U.S. can't afford to track them. Now I'm not saying that we should ban people from our country, but our nation needs to screen people much better then the way they are now.

Italy's decision to issue mini-buoni
ordinari del Tesoro, government IOUs to suppliers or
taxpayers which will be accepted to pay taxes, is concerning EU
ministers over fears it could set Italy on the road to leaving
the euro. Greece allegedly proposed a similar move at the
height of their debt crisis when a referendum was held about
its future in the eurozone. Markets have reacted negatively to
the news, with Italian bond yields at their highest since the
debt crisis.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is expected to

the way they operate, it will be impossible for companies
operating in this sector to retain, organise and recall

each investor has been contacted, and why and how information
has been shared. Currently, alternative assets companies
generally record fund filings, investments and their annual
statements exclusively on paper, partly down to the fact
alternative assets are a small part of the wider financial

to decline with the changes.
Coinbase has

protection after the record-breaking hack on cryptocurrency
exchange Coincheck in January and Mt. Gox's

good thing, especially if it is tailored to the
market's unique needs.
The financial rule rollback is gaining momentum, with
proposals by the Federal Reserve Board to revamp the Volcker

received as the agency looks to simplify and tailor application

The Fed issued the proposal on May 30, in addition to asking
for comments from the industry. Any changes will require all
five administrative agencies to follow suit if they are to be
ratified, with which they were developed.

Purpose: :
To evaluate the outcome and potential of implanting methyl methacrylate/2 ethyl hexyl acrylate (MMA/EHA) acrylic copolymer as a device to correct, stabilize, and improve the effect of Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) intracorneal rings.
Methods: :
MMA/EHA segments were implanted in the right corneas of ten Lohmann Classic hens. In the left fellow eyes PMMA rings (Ferrara) were implanted. The dimensions of the MMA/EHA and PMMA segments were the same (90º arc, 150 µm thickness). Corneal radius of curvature was measured using a custom-built videokeratometer, refractive state was analyzed with an automated eccentric infrared photorefractor and corneal thickness was assessed with ultrasound pachymetry. The outcomes were evaluated at 15, 30, 60 and 90 days in all eyes. Direct transmittance was measured at 30 and 90 days using a scatterometer developed by our group. All eyes were fixed for histological analysis.
Results: :
Significant central and peripheral flattening of the cornea was obtained, the flattening reached the same extent and remains stable over time in both segments, MMA/EHA and PMMA. A significant difference in postoperative refractive state was observed in MMA/EHA and PMMA groups compared with preoperative values. At 15 days corneal thickness recovered its normal value in both groups. MMA/EHA segments showed a higher value of direct transmittance than PMMA.
Conclusions: :
The experimental results obtained with this copolymer give reason to consider it suitable for a composite intracorneal implant.

Human-centric Computing and Information Sciences, Oct 2017
Virtual Reality (VR) has recently experienced rapid development for human–computer interactions. Users wearing VR headsets gain an immersive experience when interacting with a 3-dimensional (3D) world. We utilise a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor to detect a 3D point cloud from the real world. To match the scale between a virtual environment and a user's real world, this paper develops a boundary wall detection method using the Hough transform algorithm. A connected-component-labelling (CCL) algorithm is applied to classify the Hough space into several distinguishable blocks that are segmented using a threshold. The four largest peaks among the segmented blocks are extracted as the parameters of the wall plane. The virtual environment is scaled to the size of the real environment. In order to synchronise the position of the user and his/her avatar in the virtual world, a wireless Kinect network is proposed for user localisation. Multiple Kinects are mounted in an indoor environment to sense the user's information from different viewpoints. The proposed method supports the omnidirectional detection of the user's position and gestures. To verify the performance of our proposed system, we developed a VR game using several Kinects and a Samsung Gear VR device.

I love how they include tons of lovely, massive photos, whereas also providing quite a lot of actual helpful info and thoughtful ideas. That was my little guide to adorning your very own gothic themed bedroom for a girl.

Cool, crisp mornings, beautiful blue skies and vibrant, colorful leaves all herald in the Fall season. Here's a simple way to preserve those colorful leaves and create a wreath that will last for months.
Supplies needed: pruners, hammer, deep pail, pH test kit, glycerin, surfectant (eg. Spreader Sticker), florist wire and a wreath form.
On a cool evening, cut about a dozen or so small branches at their peak of color choosing those that have a lot of leaves. This needs to be done before there's been a frost. Once cut, hammer the cut end to open up the vascular system.
Fill a deep pail with half a gallon of warm water. Test the pH level. It needs to be between 3 and 4. If it's too high, adjust the level by using drops of lemon juice. If too low, add powdered lime. Then add 17 ounces of glycerin and 4-5 drops of surfectant ( available at garden shops).
Put the cut branches into the bucket and place it away from sunlight. It'll take 3-5 days for the branches to absorb the solution (magnolia leaves take 3-6 weeks). The leaves will feel supple and are now ready for your project.
To make a wreath, pick leaves from branches and bind small bunches together with florist wire. Place the bunch on a wreath form and attach by wrapping florist wire around the form. Overlap the bunches as you go until the wreath form is completely covered.
Note: The leaf colors will change when they absorb the glycerin water. Yellows become more vibrant while reds and orange turn a ruddy brown. Some leaves will work better than others. Experiment to find what works for you.

Ruby Jo, 5 Weeks
Friday, June 27, 2014
Height/Weight: Growing every day! She feels like she's well over 9 pounds and is really filling out... so excited to have a squishy little baby instead of a tiny, scary newborn.
Routine: We're hoping to transition into bath time happening every night now. I've also implemented a more regular bedtime routine--bath, tummy time, bedtime books (You Are My I Love You, Tu Eres Mi Te Quiero and Goodnight, Moon), then sleeping. It seems to be working well so far. I've also begun taking her on walks in the morning (around 9 a.m.) that take us through the hilly trails of Riverside Park. The whole walk takes around 90 minutes, depending on my speed, and usually puts Ruby right to sleep. Today she was up for about an hour of it though, and it was so cute to watch her look up at the tree-covered sky and check what little nature the city has to offer out.
Sleeping: Ruby's been more and more active every day. She's still only sleeping for two hours at a time Sometimes Grant can get an elusive 4-hour chunk out of her at night and a few times a week a nap will last for 3 hours, but for the most part she's like clockwork with the fussing after two hours. That said, the time between naps has gotten a lot longer, especially in the afternoons after we've gone on our walks. Yesterday we had our first truly fussy day. She was screaming anytime I wasn't holding her either on my shoulder or laying on my chest/tummy, so we spent a good 5 hours cuddling until she was finally ready to be put down in her crib alone.
Eating/Feeding: Still eating the same amount as last week and loving it!
Sizes: We've started to put her in some of the smaller 0-3 month clothes that we have and while she doesn't fill them out, she's not swimming in them! Summer dresses and rompers, here we come!
Milestones: Nothing new to report, but she is one strong baby. When she goes tummy time she scoots her whole body half the length of the couch by pushing along with her legs. She also likes to do half pushups while she's down there.

As we start the month of August, it is time to build your Unit Calendar and Unit Budget. As a matter of fact, to get your full point value for Journey to Excellence, Units need to have their Unit Budget "Completed before the next program year". For many Units, the program year starts sometime in the next several weeks.
Completing the Unit Calendar and Unit Budget requires the Unit Committee, if they have not done this already, to meet over the summer.
Why is it important to do this now?
It is a matter of cash flow.
Typically, this time of year is when your Unit Funds are at their lowest level. Units have depleted their unit accounts paying for camp and other summertime activities. In theory, Units should have just enough in their unit accounts to pay for anticipated awards from camp and their reserve fund.
However, Units will need funds before the end of the year to pay for re-charter, recruitment supplies, additional awards, Pack Meetings or Court of Honor, and other supplies.
Units should do an audit of their Unit Budget from last year. We look at the Personal Management Merit Badge for some thoughts on the subject. Requirement 2 states:
Do the following:
a. Prepare a budget reflecting your expected income (allowance, gifts, wages), expenses, and savings. Track your actual income, expenses, and savings for 13 consecutive weeks [year]. (You may use the forms provided in this pamphlet, devise your own, or use a computer-generated version.) When complete, present the results to your merit badge counselor [Unit Committee]:
b. Compare expected income with expected expenses.
- If expenses exceed income, determine steps to balance your budget.
- If income exceeds expenses, state how you would use the excess money (new goal, savings).
The biggest piece is reviewing the planned expenses versus the actual expenses. How close were you? Were there unforeseen expenses? How do these expenses compare to anticipated future expenses?
Once the review is complete, I recommend sharing this information with your Chartered Organization. There are a several reasons for this. First, sharing this information shows how the Unit is thrifty with the funds they have. Next, it shows transparency. There are no secrets that the funds were used for Scouting activities. Third, it may demonstrate the future needs the Unit may have and how the Chartered Organization can help. Finally, the Chartered Organization may need this information to assist with their financial statements. Remember, the Chartered Organization is the one who owns the Unit and are financially responsible for the funds used within 'their' Unit.
Once this review is completed, it is time to earn money for next year.
Fortunately, popcorn is just around the corner.

"Studies showed that individuals who had been isolated from their familiar social and cultural environment, became neurotic. This shows that when those individuals had no object to identify their darker emotions with, they began to see these things in themselves that which they refused to recognize before, and were unaware of why they appeared and how to cope."

Michelle Obama looked stunning in a shimmering gold dress at her final appearance as First Lady at Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C.
She appeared alongside some of the country's political elites, some of the nation's largest media companies, and some of its brightest stars at the WHCD, which is affectionately known as "nerd prom." Elsewhere on the guest list, Kendall Jenner brought out her runway-ready glamour while the Scandal stars got a real-life look at the world they've been recreating on TV.
This year's WHCD was also Obama's last. Her lauded signature style was cemented for the nation almost as soon as her family moved into the White House, following President Barack Obama's 2008 election, and it's something Michelle, 52, has continued in the years since.
But she's already planning what her family's first post-White House days will look like, in 2017. She told Today's Al Roker they'll be headed "somewhere really, really warm."
Of her own legacy, she told Roker, "I just want people to say, 'Michelle Obama was a hard-working first lady who impacted people's lives for the better and made us proud.' "
What did you think of Michelle's final WHCD look? Sound off in the comments below!

Making Sacrifices….
I have been blogging for a month and a half and I have not been sticking to my Plan. I have been going through so many ups and downs these past two months trying to figure out how am I going to take care of the kids needs on top of doing everything I am doing for myself. One of my kids is a freshman in high school and I must say she is quite the athlete and being a track mom can be very challenging and my oldest daughter who is a senior and is part of the band has been very busy as well, which makes me very busy. So, you see my DILEMMA.
So, I took one for the Team and I fell off of my plan.I became the track mom that my daughter wanted me to be and I planned a Gala that no one in our family would ever forget, for Nikelle. Thank GOD the prom was this past weekend and I must say getting everything prepared and ready for the event took a humungous toll on my body. It took me several days after the event to re-cooperate and man oh man did I need those days. Nikelle was gorgeous and the Gala was a hit and I must say I am glad it is over and now I can get back to taking care of ME!!!! Women take a lot of sacrifices and it always reflects on our body, mind, soul and like I ALWAYS SAY IF WE DON'T TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES WHO WILL?????

There are experienced staff who tend to get lazy and more carried away. On the other hand, fresh employees can be more driven to learn. Also, hiring inexperienced employees can be cheaper than experienced ones. Also, some experienced staff tends to stagnate. Meanwhile, new employees have more room to grow.
New Graduates, should understand their worth, when taking a position, especially with private practioners. Private Docs have been know to hire experienced PAs for three months to observe how to manage the clinic, release them and hire newbie PAs/physicians to continuethe practice. Don't be lulled into the "ole" loyalty brand of "staying with your doctor to the end" it pays to always understand what you are worth and be on the lookout for being replaced by newly minted physicans. Remember you bring the equivalent skill set as a new licensed MD, always maintain your own self worth and request the proper renumeration.Be loyal to YOURSELF.

I definitely had to google what this word meant. Cur = Apparently it means a 'mongrel' or 'mixed breed dog' but can also refer to an unfriendly dog. I love dogs. Some of them do scare me a bit and they can do bad things, but so can humans. I always remember being around dogs, growing up we definitely always had someRead more

OBE(1992) MB ChB Edin(1960) MRCP Edin(1963) FRCP Edin(1971) FRCP Glasg(1997) FRCP(1997)
John Munro was a consultant in general medicine at the Eastern General Hospital, Edinburgh, and Edenhall Hospital, Musselburgh. He was a renowned teacher of undergraduates and postgraduates, and had a special interest in treating obesity.
He was born in Edinburgh, the son of John Bennett Lorimer Munro, a civil servant, and Gladys Maie Forbes née Simmons, a teacher. The family spent some time in India before settling in Essex. His schooling was divided between Edinburgh Academy and Chigwell School. He had a life-long dislike of bureaucracy and hypocrisy. He was a bright pupil and, although he won a scholarship to read history at Oxford, he chose instead to read medicine in Edinburgh. Before doing so, he had to serve his National Service, during which he did not take kindly to Army discipline. He had not studied sciences at school and catching up during the first year of the Scottish course was hard work, but he attained a gold medal in anatomy and came into his own in the clinical years of the course. He achieved many distinctions and in 1960 qualified MB ChB with honours.
His postgraduate posts were at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, where his mentors included Sir Derrick Dunlop [Munk's Roll, Vol.VII, p.170] and Leslie Duncan. At this time he developed his skill at teaching, which he loved. His teaching was never conventional, but always memorable. Although a rather 'scruffy and disruptive character' (his own words), he was clearly destined to become a leading member of Edinburgh's medical establishment. At that time, in addition to the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh had perhaps a dozen smaller hospitals, many of which had acute medical units. It was a surprise to all when he accepted a consultant post at these smaller hospitals, working between the Eastern General Hospital in Edinburgh and Edenhall Hospital, Musselburgh. His appointment transformed the hospitals, which became centres of medical excellence, with a renowned reputation for teaching of both undergraduates and postgraduates. He became well-known for his 'Sunday school' sessions for those who were studying for the MRCP. An attachment to the 'Eastern' was fiercely contested by both postgraduates and undergraduates. Many high-flyers shunned more prestigious junior posts in order to work at the Eastern. His former students and junior doctors include many professors and global leaders in medicine.
John was primarily a clinician. He had an unerring ability to achieve the most difficult diagnoses with modesty and ease. His caring nature meant that he always put the patient first and made time to speak to them and their relatives. As a result he worked exceptionally long hours, but did not allow this to compromise his other interests. He was a strong believer in the team approach to patient care, and pioneered regular meetings with nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and social workers. All from the most junior to the most senior felt their opinions were valued. The team approach included the local general practitioners, with whom he had strong links. Some indeed were his closest friends.
He appreciated that if junior staff were to progress, they should produce publications. He ran a large obesity service and from this many papers were written and he became an international speaker. Publications from the department were checked meticulously and presentations rehearsed. He took over as editor of Macleod's clinical examination (Edinburgh, Churchill Livingstone) and developed it into a truly international textbook for undergraduates. In 1993 he became registrar of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, helping to establish the MRCP examination in India, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Singapore.
He was always keen on sport. On his appointment to the Eastern General Hospital, an area of waste ground became the hospital's hockey pitch. The Eastern hockey matches were fiercely competitive yet light-hearted events open to all. Throughout his life he had a keen interest in the outdoors. He lived in a fine old house in the country and to him gardening was a competitive hobby. He and a great friend, a GP, compared their results over lunch in the hospital canteen. Because of his long hours at work, on at least one occasion John's seed potatoes had to be planted by torch-light in order to ensure he achieved the larger crop!
In the 1970s a local farmer gave over a field near John's house for land-fill. Most would have considered this a disaster, but to John it was an opportunity. He and his dog, which he described as the best ratter he had ever known, used to pick over the dump to recycle building materials, which he happily supplied to his friends.
Care of his patients was much more important to him than his appearance. Juniors used to joke about the way his shirt-tail often hung out. He drove a succession of old rusting cars of varying reliability. On one occasion he was giving a talk to a group of GPs in an underprivileged area of Edinburgh and, on returning to his car, was horrified to find the driver's window had been broken, in order to steal the radio. The damage was so unnecessary because his car was never locked!
In later life, John was able to follow his interest in contemporary Scottish art. He amassed a sizable collection of paintings and supported many local artists. He was director of the Edinburgh Printmakers Workshop and an adviser to the Scottish Arts Council. He arranged art exhibitions, both at the Eastern General Hospital and the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
Although his work ethic meant John spent much less time with his family than he would have liked, they were very important to him. He married his wife, Jeannie (Elizabeth Jean Durrell née Caird) when he was still a student, and she gave him the solid support he needed. He was very proud of their three daughters and six grandchildren. He died just after his 80th birthday.

Purpose: :
The biochemical and molecular mechanisms responsible for the pathogenesis of Diabetic macular edema (DME) and age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) are not yet established. Hence, in the present work we apply discriminant statistical analysis associating biochemical parameters with funduscopic characteristics from ARMD-DME patients.
Methods: :
After a complete eye examination, peripheral whole blood was obtained from patients with ARMD-DME (n=23), diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy or DME (n=13) and age-matched non-diabetic, non-ARMD patients (n=12). Quantitative assays were performed for more than 22 different biochemical parameters measured by conventional clinical laboratory tests and flow cytometry. LRP1 was determined from monocytes of peripheral blood by flow cytometry using RD1-conjugated monoclonal antibody against human LRP1 alpha chain. At least 2,000 gated monocytes were acquired in each sample using the flow cytometer. All biochemical, cytometric and clinical parameters were analyzed using Lineal Discriminant Analysis (forward stepwise mode) and Kruskal Wallis (Statistica version7.0).
Results: :
A discriminant analysis (forward stepwise) allowed us to select 7 biochemical parameters (out of 22 analyzed) as the most important for discerning ARMD-DME patients respect to control groups. The parameters found were: LRP1 together with HDL-cholesterol; Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW); Haematocrit, Medium Corpuscular Volume (MCV); Lymphocytes; Platelets; and Cholesterol which were statistically different between ARMD-DME patients and control groups (p≤0.05). These 7 parameters allow us to differentiate these two groups with a 95% certainty.
Conclusions: :
These results indicate that these 7 biochemical parameters are key markers that highly discriminate ARMD-DME patients from any other retinal disease and could be common pathways involved in the pathogenesis of these macular pathologies.

Just to add a little excitement to our otherwise boring life we had a little storm last night. It was very similar to some of the storms we experienced while living on St. Maarten. The day started out with some heavy rain which was welcomed as there has not been much rain here and the mangroves were all dried out. Things quickly escalated to increased winds, a non-stop intense lightening show with cracks of thunder that made us all jump.
the scene out the back window was an eerie reminder of the storms we experienced on St. Maarten
the beach the morning after the storm - the young palm trees were almost completely buried in the sand
the boats ended up on the beach
the local tractor working to get the boats working
after a rough night of sleep being woken by loud cracks of thunder we are hoping for the return of the sunshine.

Intent vs. Impact
Let's get real, most of us are quick to judge these days. Rarely do we take the time to give people any latitude. We immediately assume the worst or are simply too busy to even take a second to try and understand where the people we interact with are coming from.
Nowhere is this more clear than in online dating. I find more and more that the most benign message can be ragingly misinterpreted and create a downward spiral of texts that spin out of control. Both sexes are so quick to generalize a text or message with "ugh, another man who is too suggestive" or "another girl who expects to be wined and dined." The problem today isn't just that dating norms have fallen by the wayside, it's that we're too busy responding to put any thought into what our message might mean for the other person. Men and women already don't speak the same language. So throw in rapid-fire texting and it's a recipe for misunderstood disaster.
If we were literally to take a minute to think about what the other person meant rather than assuming the worst, we might actually make more connections. And believe me, I'm so guilty of this as well. I've definitely jumped to conclusions about men who message me. Now some of them might have been valid, but I've certainly discounted people for reasons that in the light of day might have been nothing more than a lost in translation message that seemed offensive but really wasn't meant with any ill intent.
The longer you're in the dating scene, the more guarded and cynical you are. For instance, when I give a guy my number and he keeps messaging me in the app we met on, I get annoyed. The whole point of giving that to him is to take things off the app and arrange a meet. So usually I remind them I gave them my number and then if they don't listen and still text in the app I just stop replying because to me this signals they aren't serious.
However, recently a version of this happened where I gave someone my number after he suggested we get together and he replied with his number and told me to text him back. My first instinct was extreme annoyance. Dude, I gave you my number! Why do I need to text you? But I decided to bite the bullet and I did text him back. It turns out, he didn't even realize he'd done that. So he wasn't being lazy. There was no ill intent, he just really wanted to meet me, was excited I said yes and instantly sent me his details. Now if I hadn't texted him, who knows if he would had gone back and realized I sent my number first or if our potential relationship would have fizzled like countless other online connections. All I do know is by giving him the benefit of the doubt, I opened myself up to the possibility of something new and the chance to meet someone special.
Essentially this is intent vs. impact (I stole that from a diversity training I went to last week but the message is spot on). What their intent is might have a very different impact on you. Neither of you are wrong, but you both need to take a second to consider what that person meant. And by not rushing to judgment, you just might have an amazing conversation with someone and an even better connection.

1st October 2015 saw the introduction of yet more legislation in the guise of sections 33 to 41 of the Deregulation Act 2015 ("DA 2015") much of which adds further complication to the lettings process for private landlords wishing to let their residential dwellings on assured shorthold tenancies.
The main thrust of the legislation concerns the form of section 21 notices and the circumstances in which they can be served by landlords to obtain possession of their properties.
The main changes can be summarised as follows:-
- There is a new prescribed form of section 21 notice referred to as "Form 6A";
- The section 21 notice now has a "use by" date. Possession proceedings will therefore have to be commenced within 6 months of the date the section 21 notice is given, otherwise a frech notice will have to be served. Practically speaking, on the basis that the section 21 notice must give not less than two months' notice to the tenant, this means that any accelerated possession claim will have to be commenced within 4 months of the notice expiring;
- The section 21 notice cannot be served during the first four months of the tenancy. This means that landlords and letting agents will no longer be able to carry on the common practice of serving a section 21 notice at the start of the tenancy;
- "Retaliatory" evictions will no longer be permitted. In other words if the tenant makes a complaint about the condition of the property and the landlord has either not responded or given an inadequate response to that complaint, he/she will be precluded from serving a valid section 21 notice as a means of obtaining possession of the property;
- Landlords will not be able to serve a section 21 notice if they have not served an up to date version of the government issued "How to Rent" guidance booklet at the commencement of the tenancy;
- Landlords will also be precluded from serving a section 21 notice if they have failed to provide their tenants with valid gas safety and energy performance certificates;
- If the tenant vacates the property during a period for which an advance payment of rent has been made, he/she will be entitled to a refund of a proportion of the rent which relates to the period after the tenancy has ended.
These changes are over and above the restrictions relating to service of section 21 notices which have already been imposed by the Housing Act 2004 where a landlord has failed to properly protect a tenancy deposit or serve prescribed information in relation to the relevant tenancy deposit scheme.
The good news is that the changes will not apply to any fixed term tenancies granted before 1 October 2015 even if they become periodic after 1 October 2015. They do however apply to any fixed term assured shorthold tenancy granted on or after 1 October 2015. They will also apply to all tenancies, no matter when they were granted, from 1 October 2018.

Do my forms themselves count against my plan's upload space, or is upload space only for files that customers upload? Thanks!
- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on August 13, 2013 at 05:47 PM
Yes, it is the files that are uploaded by your customers within your form.
When you have file upload field to your form and you are expecting files to be uploaded by your form users, that would counted in your allocated upload space.
Should you have further questions, let us know here.

Awesome. Thank you, EltonCris.

To make this clearer: You can create as many forms as you want to into your account. The space counts for uploaded files

Is this a picture of a news event that should be reported on the front pages of national dailies and at the top of every news bulletin?
Or is this agit-prop that should properly be confined to the murkier depths of the internet?
Whether these men prove ultimately to be mentally ill, or sophisticated domestic Jihadis they showed a very good grasp of how the media would respond to their atrocity. So who was playing who? Something I mulled over in this radio report Podcast here.

I got home and wanted a pie. Being an adult person who don't need no permission to do no damn thing, I strode past my housemate and his significant other, clad in black dress paired with obnoxious Peruvian trousers. Rain, cold and any quiet night they were hoping to be having be damned, I wanted a pie. Or a box of Shapes. Or a pie.
I bought a pie, and a sausage roll. I rejoiced. I stood outside the 7-11, with pie in one hand and a sausage roll in the other, gazing at the monumental Choice That Lay Ahead, while the light from the service station shone down upon me. It was a truly glorious moment.
The pie first?
The sausage roll first?
I had wanted the pie initially, so surely it was to be a case of save-the-best-till-last? Or was it?
Eat one now?
Or do I eat both these meaty bad boys from the comfort of my bed, with the cast of the West Wing for company?
A break in traffic, and suddenly none of the questions mattered at all. For as I reached the middle of the road, from my hand tumbled the pie. It fell in slow motion onto the road. My pie looked up at me, distraught, pleading with me not to be left behind.
NEVER! I wouldn't do that, little pie. I wouldn't leave you and your crusty outside and your meaty insides to waste away here on the tram tracks. I wouldn't have travelled all this way only to leave you here to die a lonesome death.
I knelt down to pick up my dear dying pie, to reassure it that no man gets left on my watch dammit. I looked up to see a pair of headlights in front of me, growing steadily larger.
Pie? Jump? Run? Save myself and my food? Or save myself and merely attempt to be happy with the sausage roll I was to be left with?
I leapt out of the way in the nick of time.
The car sped by. I briefly high-fived myself inwardly for still being alive, then inwardly gasped as I realised my pie might have been squashed. AND I'D PROMISED THAT NO MAN GETS LEFT BEHIND ON MY WATCH. How would I break it to the pie's family? Was it really worth not being hit by a car if my pie perished?
I ran back to the middle of the road and looked down. There it lay. My pie. Alive. I picked it up, and did a little dance in the middle of the road. Call it the Pie Victorious dance. If the pie had hands, I would have taken them in mine and spun it around in glee. Instead, I stood there in the middle of the road and ate the pie in about four bites.
All in all, a winner of a Friday night. I got a pie and I continued to live, sans car lodged in my face.

With our first full day in the ICC behind us, I feel like I can safely say that our babies could be trending toward boring again. We had a nice quick visit from one of our old nurses and I don't want to put words in her mouth, but she looked really proud to see them in the ICC and doing well. :-)
The doctor made no medical changes to our little Eloise, but she did make another bedding change. :-) Our little piglet (she's 4lbs 4oz today) is now sleeping in her own little criblette! It's just this little mini-crib with tons of blankets and most of the time you can only see her little head, but she looks pretty comfortable. I think it's more weird for us because we can hear all her little grunts now that she's got no walls around her. She also seems to be enjoying her bottle and can get through about half a feed before she falls asleep.
Cooper finally made it to 4lbs today! We're so proud of our little mini-chop and can't wait until he catches up to his sister. The doctor continues to increase his feedings and hopefully he'll get up to full feeds tomorrow. She also dropped his respiratory assistance down to a regular cannula with less pressure than he was receiving. He's been doing well on the standard cannula, but the nurses had to put a sock over his free hand to keep him from pulling it out of his nose. He's also starting to ween out of his isolette so hopefully he'll be in his own criblette in the next few days.
It was a pretty exciting day on the home front today: the baby furniture was delivered and their nursery is all set up! Now we just need to get them bigger and stronger...their cribs are waiting for them! :-)

|Date & Time
|Saturday September 12, 2015, 12:00 PM (EDT)

The Line: Maryland -7.5 -- Over/Under: 67
|TV Channel
Big Ten Network
The Bowling Green Falcons and Maryland Terrapins meet Saturday at Byrd Stadium.
The Bowling Green Falcons are coming off a 59-30 loss to Tennessee. Matt Johnson is completing 55.1 percent of his passes for 424 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. Johnson hasn't thrown a pick in his last 85 pass attempts. Gehrig Dieter and Ronnie Moore have combined for more than 120 receiving yards and one touchdown while Hunter Folkertsma has a touchdown on one reception. The Bowling Green Falcons ground game is averaging 124 yards per contest, and Fred Coppet leads the way with 63 rushing yards on 12 carries. Defensively, Bowling Green is allowing 59 points and 604 yards per game. Austin Valdez leads the Falcons with 13 tackles, Zach Colvin has a sack and Darrell Hunter II has a pass deflection.
The Maryland Terrapins are fresh off a 50-21 victory over Richmond. Perry Hills is completing 57.1 percent of his passes for 138 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Hills now has 11 career touchdown passes for Maryland. Malcolm Culmer and Levern Jacobs have combined for more than 60 receiving yards and two touchdowns while D.J. Moore has two receptions. The Maryland Terrapins ground game is averaging 341 yards per contest, and Brandon Ross leads the way with 150 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Maryland is allowing 21 points and 276 yards per game. Jermaine Carter, Jr. leads the Terps with eight tackles, Quinton Jefferson has 2.5 tackles for loss and William Likely has two pass deflections. Andrew Isaacs and Derwin Gray are questionable for this game.
The Falcons are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS loss and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Terrapins are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games in September and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games.
Bowling Green just got waxed by Tennessee and now has to go on the road and play a Marylan team that's starting to find itself under head coach Randy Edsall. Bowling Green isn't the same team it was a couple of seasons ago, and the Terps have now won six of their last 10 regular season games. I'm siding with Maryland to win this game by double digits.

My shares of Lockheed Martin Corp. have done well, but I wonder whether it can continue to depend on strong defense spending.
- K.T., via the Internet
The world's largest defense contractor is benefiting from record U.S. defense spending and increased outsourcing of government technology projects. It has a huge backlog of orders and an excellent flow of cash.
Global pressure points such as Israel, Iran and North Korea have provided an added boost to defense stocks, which have been rising since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Lockheed Martin shares (LMT) are up 31 percent this year after gains of 14 percent last year and 8 percent in 2004.
Nonetheless, many expect a slowdown in the growth of military spending. Furthermore, the company remains highly dependent on U.S. government contracts, which last year accounted for 80 percent of its revenue.
It must always contend with the political uncertainty associated with defense spending. The firm recently received a grilling by a Senate committee over its expensive F-22 Raptor fighter jet. A large Army project, Lockheed's Aerial Common Sensor, was canceled this year.
Realizing its situation, Lockheed Martin has been trying to expand its nonmilitary businesses and significantly improve overall operating efficiency.
Robert J. Stevens, who added the role of chairman to his positions as chief executive and president last year, has steadfastly emphasized return on investment capital.
His efforts are paying off. Profits were up 26 percent in its most recent quarter thanks to higher sales of commercial satellites and military electronic systems. The company recently increased its full-year revenue forecast.
Based on the prospects in both defense and nonmilitary business, the consensus analyst rating on shares of Lockheed Martin is "buy," according to Thomson Financial. That consists of six "strong buys," five "buys" and 12 "holds."
Lockheed Martin continues to aggressively seek contracts, and it recently received a $138 million agreement to provide launch services for the U.S. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission.
It has also snared a contract with the Army potentially worth $500 million for continued production of Hellfire II air-to-ground missiles. This fall, it is scheduled to begin testing the most powerful single-engine fighter plane ever built, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, which is targeted for use in 2011 and faces some controversy over its increased cost.
Earnings are expected to rise 28 percent this year versus the 13 percent forecast for the major diversified aerospace and defense industry. Next year's projected 6 percent increase compares with 20 percent projected for its peers.
The five-year annualized growth rate expectation of 10 percent trails the industrywide forecast of 12 percent. I am a conservative investor and would like your opinion of Pioneer Fund.
- A.J., via the Internet
Its philosophy should be right up your alley.
John Carey, the fund's portfolio manager for two decades, is a patient fellow who trades as little as possible and tries to avoid volatility. He is a straightforward, blue-chip-oriented manager with proven ability to outperform the Standard & Poor's 500.
He also has invested more than $1 million of his own money in the fund, a commitment that underscores his firm belief in the portfolio of stocks he holds.
The $7 billion Pioneer Fund (PIODX) is up 12 percent over the past 12 months and has a three-year annualized return of 13 percent. Both results rank in the upper one-fifth of large funds that blend growth and value.
"Carey wants to pay a reasonable price for stocks that he thinks have the potential to grow in the future, and he's willing to give their management time to do that," said Sonya Morris, analyst with Morningstar Inc. in Chicago.
"The overarching concern might be if Carey ever left," Morris wrote, "but I get no indication he's considering retirement and he has also worked closely with his assistant portfolio manager," Walter Hunnewell.
The Pioneer Fund is 78 years old, making it the third-oldest fund in the country.
This fund makes sense as a core holding in an individual's portfolio. An emphasis on beaten-down blue-chip stocks won't produce blowout returns but should provide a solid anchor. It has lagged behind peers in growth markets, but holds up better than rivals when the market is in a difficult stretch.
The fund's largest portfolio concentrations are financial services, industrial materials and health care. Its top holdings recently were Norfolk Southern, McGraw-Hill, T. Rowe Price Group, Chevron, Rio Tinto, Target, John Wiley & Sons, AT&T;, Chubb and Walgreen.
Pioneer Fund has a 5.75 percent "load" (sales charge) and $1,000 minimum initial investment. Its annual expense ratio is reasonable at 1.08 percent, lower than three-fourths of its broker-sold rivals. How long should I keep my statements from my brokerage house? They're really starting to fill up the drawers. - V.R., via the Internet
The Internal Revenue Service has three years from your filing date to audit your return. But it has six years to challenge your return if it believes you underreported your gross income by 25 percent or more. There is no time limit if you failed to file or filed a fraudulent return.
In a taxable account, experts suggest first keeping stock and mutual fund statements that help you establish your "cost basis" - the original purchase price of the investment - for as long as you own the investment. Then, after the sale, keeping them another three years should suffice, though some recommend keeping them as long as seven years.
"I've observed that people are often remiss about keeping track of the cost basis of investments, which can wind up being a real hassle later," said Mark Balasa, certified financial planner and CPA with Balasa Dinverno & Foltz in Itasca, Ill.
But discard immediately any old documents relating to your estate plan when you make changes in it.
"You don't want multiple copies of anything in your estate plan floating around to cause confusion," Balasa said. "I've seen that happen and turmoil resulted."
Andrew Leckey writes for Tribune Media Services.

I'm still not seeing strong evidence on this front. On the security front, I would argue that the best practice is not to open ActiveMQ to untrusted parties - not even the OpenWire interface. That reminds me that I have a couple of jira entries to create. On the "project look bad" front - have we had people state, "I refuse to use ActiveMQ because its console stinks?" Being almost exclusively a user of ActiveMQ for many years, I never once felt the console was a negative for the solution. However, I did wish for improvements (like being able to see full queue names in the Queue list-view). I get the desire for Hawt.io. It honestly looks to me, though, like this is really an attack to get rid of the current console and force the need for a new one, with Hawt.io being the only existing alternative. > >> As I've mentioned before, I've used it and still use it, and >> see people posting statements that they are using it too. >> > > Thats fine - as a separate project folks can still include it in distros > and use it.

In a warm climate like Africa, a vaccine can spoil in about five days. Vaccines need to be kept between 32 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit. To solve this issue, Global Good has spent four years inventing a new cooler that acts like a coffee thermos to keep vaccines fresh for over a month. During that time they did create coolers that could keep the vaccines fresh for up to 90 days but they were not durable nor easy to maintain. The latest (sixth) version can hold up to 200 vaccines. To learn more and see photos of the device, read Vaccine Cold Chain Device.
