U.S. Must Reveal|Some Tracking Technology
(CN) – The Department of Justice must release documents on government policies and procedures for use of location-tracking technology in Northern California, a federal judge ruled.
In early 2012, the ACLU of Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Guardian newspaper submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Department of Justice seeking information about the federal government's use of location tracking technology to monitor and surveil suspects.
Among other things, the ACLU sought information on "the use or policies of utilizing any location tracking technology, including but not limited to cellsite simulators or digital analyzers such as devices known as Stingray, Triggerfish, AmberJack, KingFish or Loggerhead."
When the Justice Department failed to respond, ACLU sued it for wrongful withholding of agency records.
The Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) processed the FOIA request and released a few documents, but claimed that many were exempt from disclosure because they are attorney work product and their release might teach people how to get around the law.
But U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James on Sept. 30 ordered the release of a record from the EOUSA that contains 16 pages of templates used by prosecutors in connection with use of a pen register and trap and trace device.
The government withheld this document as work product prepared in anticipation of litigation.
However, James found that the template is not work product because the Justice Department "failed to establish that the template pertains to a specific claim or consists of more than general instructions to its attorneys with regard to applying for location tracking orders."
James also ordered the release of portions of the USA Book, which is used as a legal resource book and reference guide for federal prosecutors. Sections of the book titled "Electronic Surveillance Non-Wiretap," which discuss tracking devices generally and cellular telephone location information "function like an agency manual, providing instructions to prosecutors on how to obtain location tracking information," James said, ruling that they were not work product.
Other portions of the book relating to electronic surveillance, tracking devices and non-wiretap electronic surveillance in the context of prospective federal criminal prosecution and investigations also must be produced, despite the government's argument that disclosure of this information could allow people to "violate the law while evading law enforcement."
The government argued that if "would-be wrongdoers" had access to this information, they could learn "when and where certain investigatory techniques are not employed, and would be able to conform their activities to times, places, and situations where they know that unlawful conduct will not be detected."
However, James found that the documents are related to already well-known tracking technologies, and that "the public is already aware that minimizing vehicular or cell phone usage will allow them to evade detection."
"To the extent that potential law violators can evade detection by the government's location tracking technologies, that risk already exists," James said.
The government provided only conclusory statements that the public is not aware of the specifics of how or when the techniques are used, but did not state that the techniques are not generally known to the public, James said.
However, she determined that the government could keep multiple documents from the public based on the attorney work product privilege, including two pages that contain legal analysis of issues that could arise from the use of location-tracking devices.
"The withheld pages do not convey general agency policy regarding the use of location tracking devices, nor do they provide instructions for how the DOJ desires its attorneys to apply for orders authorizing their use. Here, the legal strategies and issues addressed in the withheld documents are protected because they relate to foreseeable litigation arising out of the government's criminal investigations," James stated.
James refused to order the release of EOUSA records that discussed potential legal strategies and arguments that federal prosecutors might consider in light of certain court decisions relating to GPS tracking and other investigative techniques.
"There is no indication that these memoranda were intended to function as an agency manual, or that they offer neutral analysis of the law," James found.
Instead, the purpose of the documents "is to convey litigation strategy, rather than convey routine agency policy," so they are entitled to work product protection.

Local congressmen react to President Barack Obama's State of the Union message Tuesday night.
U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire, D-4, McCandless Township, and U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, R-18, Upper St. Clair Township give their initial thoughts on the president's speech:
On partisanship
"I liked the tone the president set Altmire said, reiterating Obama's warning that nothing will get accomplished if partisanship continues. "We're not going to do anything without working together."
On spending
"It's up to us now," said Altmire on Congress' role in cutting spending, but keeping America competitive in a global economy.
On education and infrastructure
Altmire said Obama's comments about improving higher education and the nation's infrastructure are especially important for the Pittsburgh region. "That has to happen," he said of funding improvements in those areas.
On working together
"I'm ready to go to work," Murphy said. "Hopefully, the president is earnest about working together."
Congress realized there is hard work ahead, Murphy said. "We recognize that we have to work together to get things done," he said. "We'll just have to push this beyond party politics."
On energy
"I'm glad he talked about energy issues," said Murphy, who stressed that the expansion of natural gas, oil and renewable sources would benefit Pennsylvania and the nation.

Little cheeky Topshop Purchase, having discovered the iPhone app.... Not entirely sure it's safe that I've discovered the ability to purchase clothing on my phone....
Jeans, Primark
Necklace c/o Char
Bag c/o Handbags At Dawn via A Daisy Chain Dream giveaway
Worn for a one course wonder dinner out this weekend, T pointed out this top is a bit more 'fashiony' than my usual taste- he's an eloquent one is T! And he's probably right, but I've been trying a few different things and I like that this will work with jeans as well as it would with my leather trousers, for now, for a winter night out, even over a pencil skirt for dinner. But it's still more than 'just' a flowery t-shirt.
I'm also going back to buying better. Being in proximity to Primark regularly at uni made it easy to buy more but buy things that weren't great value, that didn't last or that I didn't truly like as much as if I were to be paying say twice the price. A £3 t-shirt that only last 3 weeks, is it really more economical than a £10 or even £20 one that sees me through a couple of years?
The other thing I'm guilty of is buying several things of the same colour/style rather than trying something new. We all need a basic long sleeve tee or a favourite cardigan, but for a long time my wardrobe has all been a bit the same. Buying one, slightly different, better quality garment has got to be better for my personal style as well as better ethically, financially and generally than having a wardrobe full of the same t-shirt in 10 colours, none of which will be any good in a matter of weeks or even months.
Anywho... rant over- here's to a better dressing.
And P.S. I have some real bargains on eBay at the moment including a skincare starter kit at 99p, an iPod docking station, some Hugo Boss Perfume and a gorgeous embellished dress that my mother has slimmed out of. You can also find all my eBay items by following the eBay tab under my header.

Are Successful Entrepreneurs Prone to Taking Excessive Risk?
Are Successful Entrepreneurs Big Risk Takers?? One of the things that make people wary of entering the world of entrepreneurship is that they are risk-takers by nature and they believe that they are going to be able to be a successful entrepreneur without taking huge risks. One of the first things that always comes to mind is the business loan or investment in a company. A business loan for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars is certainly a risky venture and when the economy is poor would-be entrepreneurs simply give up before they start because they are afraid […]

Mercy Health (Mercy) supports several hospitals and clinics across many different geographical locations. Each geographical location has, historically, had its own dedicated intranet site. These sites were on different technologies, each employing a separate support structure.
It was determined that a single, unified co-worker portal was needed, to support a vision of One Mercy. This began the start of Baggot Street as that portal. Since then, Baggot Street has been launched as the home page for over 38,000 co-workers.
This was, however, just step one of the process. Mercy still needed to migrate the documents and structure from the old intranet sites into Baggot Street. One of the main features Mercy wanted to have, was the ability to upload and share three types of files used by the network of hospitals.
Appnovtion set to work, determined to deliver all these requirements, and to ensure a seamless end result.
This project represents, as the case study attests, a perfect example of Drupal Alfresco Integration.

To laziness: an ode
Last Friday was my last day at my previous employer, about whom no more will be said.
Next Monday will be my first day at a small search/ads/apps company you may have heard about, called Google.
In between, I took a week off. I had some crazy plans at one point – I was going to migrate everything from the server it's currently hosted on across to a new server, for instance. But, when the time came to either get out of bed and work on that, or to not get out of bed… well, I can work on the server next week but I can't sleep in next week, so guess which won out?
I've had a very nice week doing very little. It's just a pity that the weather has been so crappy lately..
I should get around to migrating over the next month or two. Along the way, hopefully I'll find out why the pages on this site render so damn slowly – I'd never accept this performance on any of the sites I've looked after professionally, and there's no reason why this site should be so slow.

text: Hey all, My sister just called me about her mac that I just gave her (dual 867 MDD), and she's running on a wireless network, but is having a giant problem with safari apparently. She's trying to go to her Yahoo mail, and click through things but is getting the beach ball for minutes at a time. I've told her how to force quit safari and it won't work. I asked her if she could open another program and all it does is bounce in the dock. The speaker/sound buttons also do not function when this all happens. What kindof problem do you think this is? Internet problem? Is it just a problem with Safari... or could it be a possibility that a stick of RAM/hdd cable came loose? I really want this to be an easy fix because I gave her the computer raving all about OS X and how easy/fast/stable it is, but it seems she is getting problem after problem I'm going to try to check RAM and cables later today when I get there, I'm just looking for other suggestions about what to do. Thanks in advance.

The Fastpitch Player's Association is proud to bring the Annual Zieran Cup to the Mlebourne Ballpark as a curatin raiser to the Melbourne Aces!
The Zieran Cup is an All-Star Exhibition Match played in honour of Duncan Zieran. A young man whose life was sadly taken much to early. Duncan grew up in the Eastern Suburbs and played his junior softball thorough the Berwick-Casey and Knox associations before he decided to challenge himself in the elite men's competitions in the Western Suburbs.
Making great friends across both sides of the Westgate, Duncan was a much loved member of the Victorian Softball community and a highly skillful player. Each year, the Best from the West and the Peak of the East battle it out to win the Zieran Cup.
Your ticket ($25) gets you entry to Melbourne Ballpark for both the Zieran Cup & Melbourne Aces VS Canberra Cavalry game, a free Aces Hot Dog and free Larg drink with souvenier cup! This is also a fundraiser for the teams that play in the FPA State League so get down and support the players paying respect to a great mate, and the Melbourne Aces!

"When Cedar Point approached us about this idea, I didn't want to say 'no.' I said, 'Let's find out how we can make it work.' We knew this would be a great opportunity for us. We are all about a regional approach to best serve the Lake Erie shores and islands region. Moving forward, what I would like to see is developing more of a water-taxi service, between Cedar Point Marina and downtown Sandusky, with more frequent departures."
— Lance Woodworth, Jet Express general manager
"When we surveyed the community, as part of our bicentennial vision (master plan) process last year, one of the top answers that we heard from folks about what they'd like to see was they wanted us to re-establish that connection to Cedar Point from downtown Sandusky. The fact that this is happening so quickly and on short notice, after the Jet Express already put its schedule together, is a testament to the wonderful community partnerships here."
— Eric Wobser, Sandusky city manager
"This is something that we heard from our guests frequently. By arriving here on a boat, it's a unique experience that people can have here at our park that you really can't duplicate at any other park in the world. When our guests come to Cedar Point, they come to ride the roller coasters and visit the park, but they like to tour the region as well. The lake is why Cedar Point got started, and it is still a critical component of why guests come. If we can make it easier for them to enjoy the region and stay an extra day, then that makes it better for everyone."
— Jason McClure, Cedar Point general manager

Heart and Vascular Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an echocardiogram?
- An echocardiogram (echo) is a standard non-invasive test that outlines the heart's movement. During an exam, a hand-held transducer is placed on your chest to ultrasound (high-frequency sounds waves) the valves, chambers and structure of the heart, as well as helps the sonographer evaluate the pumping action of the heart. The transducer records the sound wave echoes from your heart. These images are then sent to a reading station for the cardiologist to read the images, finalize the study and send the results back to your Ordering Physician.
- How long will the test take?
- The test takes 30 to 45 minutes on average and may require an additional 15 minutes if an IV is needed for further testing.
- Do I need to stop taking my medications for this test?
- No, you do not need to stop taking your medications for the exam. Your medications will not affect the test. However, if you have any other tests the same day, please be aware of their directions, as they may ask you to stop the use of certain medications.
- Can I eat or drink before the exam?
- Yes, you may eat or drink before this exam. However, if you have any other tests that day, please be aware of their directions, as they may ask you not to eat or drink.
- I have a device (pacemaker or ICD) in place. Will this affect my device?
- This test is an ultrasound and has no magnets that could affect your device.
- Will this hurt at all?
- This test is not painful; however there are times a sonographer may have to use a little more pressure pushing on your chest to get the best image quality possible. We want you to have the best quality exam possible and if your heart is not imaged well, an IV may need to be placed to use an image enhancement to improve image quality. This is at the discretion of the patient.
- When will I get my results for the echocardiogram?
- The attending cardiologist will read your echocardiogram on the day of service as well as send the finalized report to your ordering physician. Depending on how your physician handles your records, you may need to call and schedule a follow-up appointment to get the results.
- Can you see the stents in my heart?
- No, we cannot see stents in the arteries of the heart. We cannot even see the arteries leading to the heart, as they are too small for the ultrasound waves to pick up. However, if your heart is not functioning correctly due to severe blockage in the arteries, we will see the heart squeeze abnormally.
- What does the color show you?
- The color shown during your echocardiogram is for the sonographer to see the direction of the blood flow. The color will show them if there is any backward flow that would cause a "murmur."
- Can I shower while wearing the Holter monitor?
- No, the device cannot be submerged in water. You can sponge bathe.
- Can I exercise with the Holter monitor?
- Yes, we want you to continue your regular daily activities.
- Is the ECG machine going to shock me?
- No, the machine measures electrical activity from your heart. There is no electrical current coming from the machine.
- What does the ECG machine do?
- It captures the electrical activity of your heart.
Stress Lab
- What is this a stress test for?
- This test is to check your heart for any potential problems or abnormalities that could be causing your symptoms.
- Should I take my medications the day of my test?
- Please take your medications as directed by your doctor.
- Do I need someone to drive me?
- The test will not impair your ability to drive.
- How long will I be on the treadmill?
- The actual time spent on the treadmill varies from patient to patient. You can expect to be walking between six and 12 minutes.
- When will I get my results?
- Your results will be available in your electronic medical record the next business day. You should follow up with your primary doctor to get your results.
- What should I wear?
- You should wear something that you are able to walk comfortably in, including footwear.
Cardiac Cath Lab Procedures
- When can I shower?
- For the first 24 hours sponge bathe and keep the site dry. You may shower 24 hours after the procedure. Remove your dressing if it's still intact. It is unnecessary to place another dressing to the site. Avoid baths or full submersion for two weeks after the procedure or until the insertion site is completely healed.
- When can I eat?
- Most often you are able to eat once you are settled into the recovery area. On occasion you may be required to lay flat for up to four hours. If that's the case, you will be given a "finger-food diet" so you can eat while remaining flat.
- When can I resume all prescribed medications?
- Please ask your cardiologist which medications you should continue/discontinue at home.
- Will I be awake for the procedure?
- Yes, well, sort of. During most procedures in the Cardiac Cath Lab you will be receiving what we call "conscious sedation". In this state you will be breathing on your own and have the ability to follow simple commands such as: "Turn your head" or "Lift your right arm". It's possible you may remember some of the procedure. However, for most patients, they do not recall the procedure itself. The medicine we give during conscious sedation is similar if you have had a broken bone straightened or a colonoscopy.
- Will the procedure be painful?
- Most patients have no complaints. In the beginning when the doctor injects numbing medication under the skin before gaining access to your arteries and/or veins, there is a short, temporary burning sensation. Some patients have reported pain when the access device is removed from the groin. The pain is temporary and becomes similar to the pain of an ordinary bruise.
- Can my family be in the room with me?
- In the Cardiac Cath Lab, our procedures operate similar to a surgery. We have to wear special clothing and masks and provide the same sterile environment to lower risk for infection. Unfortunately, we don't allow family members in the room during the procedure. Family members are welcome to wait in the surgical waiting room just 10 feet from the door to the lab. Our physicians will meet with family after the procedure is complete and to provide updates as necessary.
- Will I have to stay the night?
- It depends on the procedure, and whether or not the doctor is needed to address a problem. If we place a stent in one of your heart's arteries, you will have to spend the night. We do a night of observation to ensure your safety as a patient.
- Are there any restrictions after the procedure?
- Yes. The most immediate restriction is not to lift anything as heavy as a gallon of milk (about 8 pounds) for two weeks. The muscles used in lifting can cause your freshly healed surgical site to leak. This complication can prolong your healing and even be dangerous. Please contact our office immediately if this has happened.
In addition, keeping the surgical site dry and intact for the first 24 hours is also very important, as mentioned.
- Yes. The most immediate restriction is not to lift anything as heavy as a gallon of milk (about 8 pounds) for two weeks. The muscles used in lifting can cause your freshly healed surgical site to leak. This complication can prolong your healing and even be dangerous. Please contact our office immediately if this has happened.
- When will I receive the results from the procedure?
- The doctor who performed the procedure typically speaks with your family about the results immediately following the procedure.
- Can I drive myself home?
- You cannot drive home after the procedure. You were given medication during the procedure that will impair your ability to operate a car and heavy machinery; you would be considered legally impaired. In addition, driving requires muscles and arteries to work, placing you at greater risk of bleeding after the procedure. We recommend you have a family member or friend drive you home. If this is not possible, you're welcome to leave with permission from the doctor.

All Dressed Up and Nowhere To Go
Except my livingroom where he is making it beautiful and festive. I got Frank all decorated. Well, 3/4 ths of him!! The other 1/4th is against the wall and hidden. The lights didn't even cover that section because he is so fat!!
And because he has so many little nooks and bare spaces inside......
I gave him some presents to hold!!!
Here is the top with my pretty handpainted vintage tree topper...
It looks extra pretty with lights...
Not bad for a Christmas bush. And yes, he still leans.

text: Prenatal Genetic Testing and Counselling Dr. Sarah King 10 March 2018 Prenatal Genetic Testing and Counselling by Dr. Sarah King, ND Upper Beach Health & Wellness 1937 Gerrard St E Toronto, ON, M4L2C2 Prenatal genetic testing is used to determine if a fetus has, or is at risk of developing, a genetic disorder. These disorders are caused by changes, often deletions or duplications, in fetal DNA and chromosomes. Two main types of testing often performed are screening and diagnosis. Screening tests typically look for aneuploidy—an abnormal number of chromosomes, such as a trisomy—whereas diagnostic testing is used to determine whether the fetus has a specific disorder—for example, Huntington's disease. All pregnant women in North America have the option of genetic testing, but counselling is strongly recommended to assess individual needs, risks, benefits, and overall options. Most commonly, testing is recommended for pregnancies at risk for either chromosomal or single-gene disorders, with the goal of helping patients make informed reproductive decisions.[1] Maternal age alone is a poor minimal standard for aneuploidy screening,[2] and therefore multiple factors need to be considered in identifying women at risk of giving birth to an infant with any type of chromosomal abnormality.[3] Preconception Counselling A consultation with a genetic counsellor involves multiple areas of assessment and education. Family history and ethnicity are both important considerations when assessing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.[1] For example, if a certain disorder has been identified in a family as being genetically caused, like cystic fibrosis, parents can be tested to evaluate their risk of giving birth to a child who would also be affected.[1] Parents can also be carriers of specific genetic alleles or mutations and can pass on those traits to their offspring. The difficulty is that a parent who is a carrier is often asymptomatic, but "carries" the gene that can be passed on to their children. Then either the child can also be a carrier, or they could present with the disorder if both parents are carriers. This is also where ethnicity plays a role in risk assessment, as some ethnicities have higher carrier rates and different types of mutations than others.[1] Genetic counsellors collect all this information from both partners, and discuss the range of testing options with the risks, benefits, and limitations of each.[4] It's also important that the counsellor understands their patient's values regarding prenatal testing options.[4] The overall goal is to provide not only risk assessment for a couple, but also support and education to help them make the best decisions for them.[4] Prenatal Testing Two types of testing can be done prenatally, typically between weeks 11 and 14 of pregnancy. A mother's first ultrasound on her baby is conducted to measure and observe any structural anomalies that may indicate Down syndrome, congenital heart defects, and other growth issues.[5] Bloodwork can also be performed in the late first trimester and in the second trimester to screen for Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and neural-tube defects.[6] An ultrasound in the second trimester may be scheduled either as a follow-up to the first, or on its own as a screening for physical abnormalities at this stage in development.[6] Normally, humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Having too many or too few chromosomes can lead to major developmental changes. For example, a trisomy means that there are three chromosomes instead of the normal paired chromosomes. The number that follows "trisomy," for example, 21 or 18, indicates which human chromosomes are affected. There is no control over preventing these issues, and we don't fully know why they happen. Chromosomal microarray is one means of testing which can be used to detect small deletions or duplications of the genetic material within chromosomes. The material (cells) tested is taken either from an amniocentesis, removing a small portion of amniotic fluid from around the fetus, or from what we call chorionic villus sampling or "CVS," where cells are taken directly from the placenta.[4] A microarray will often be recommended if something structurally abnormal is found on a previous ultrasound; however, the results can be complicated. Interpreting some of the variants on a microarray comes with a degree of uncertainty. Some results may be clearer, whereas others may leave couples, and even their genetic counsellor, more unsure than anything. The problem is that it can be extremely difficult to see microarray results and be able to know exactly what the increased risk of a disorder is.[7] Even if a change is found in the results, there could be very limited information available, or limited documented cases on that one change. In such cases, some infants found with these changes can grow up completely unaffected, while others with that same genetic change could have a drastically different presentation with severe neurodevelopmental delays.[7] We can find these changes, but they can manifest in different ways,[7] and for some women and couples, that fact alone can be more distressing because the information gathered from the test results really doesn't provide the answers they were looking for.[4] More recently, noninvasive prenatal screening is being used in practice. It's noninvasive in nature because, unlike CVS and amniocentesis, the fetus and placenta stay undisturbed, while blood is only taken from the mother. In fact, the use of invasive tests has decreased over the past five years, as these more advanced screening tests have improved.[4] In noninvasive prenatal screening, laboratories use fetal cell-free DNA found in the plasma of pregnant women, often taken in the late first trimester.[4][8] This sample can be used to determine the gender of the fetus as well as fetal Rh blood group genotype in Rh-negative women.[8] Several studies have shown a high sensitivity, high specificity, and low false-positive rates using cell-free DNA testing to detect trisomy 13, 18, and 21. As well, there is a high detection rate for sex chromosome abnormalities.[1] Specific testing using these methods can also be applied to diagnose hemophilia, beta-thalassemia, and sickle-cell anemia.[8] The downside is that, as of current, it cannot detect neural tube defects, and should not be considered a complete substitute for our routine first and second trimester screening (bloodwork and ultrasound).[1] Pre- and Post-IVF Transfer Testing A history of recurrent pregnancy loss will often prompt the testing of both partners for chromosomal abnormalities. Chromosomal aneuploidy has been identified as a major factor in failure for an embryo to implant, as well as spontaneous abortions (miscarriage).[1] Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) is performed on all embryos obtained from an IVF cycle and is used to detect aneuploidy.[1] A sample of cells is taken from the embryo after fertilization, but before uterine transfer. Over the past few years, many changes have occurred in PGS. First, advances have allowed labs to provide fast turnaround times for results and with higher accuracy. When the test originated, only 9–12 chromosomes could be evaluated at a time; however, significant advances now allow us the ability to evaluate all 23 chromosome pairs.[9] As well, the biopsy used to occur on day 3 after fertilization, during the cleavage stage when the embryo is in the blastomere phase. Now, we can use trophectoderm biopsy further into the cleavage stage around day 5, which decreases the risk of a developmental lag in the embryo.[9] Similarly, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) can be used to assess for specific conditions such as cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease, achondroplasia, and many others.[1] However, these types of tests are only run when the condition has been identified as genetic within the family history. What to Consider with Regards to Genetic Testing Women and their partners need to understand that testing is optional and should be considered only if in line with their personal beliefs as well as their family history and/or risk of genetic disorders.[4] As technology advances, testing procedures and options may change, so it is best to understand all options with the risks and benefits of each. As well, there are limitations to any results obtained from testing. Many women and couples go into testing hoping for a simple "yes" or "no" answer, but this may not always be the case. In fact, many cases have been documented where results are unclear or the implications of a specific abnormality are currently unknown.[4] This can leave patients more distressed and unsure of their future reproductive steps. As far as screening goes, more is not necessarily better. Before deciding on having a test done, ask yourself what you would do with the results. Would it change or influence any of your decisions? Would you be able to live with uncertainty? Unfortunately, we must address these concerns, as our means of testing are not 100% accurate or clear. However, with time and technological advances, that could—and likely will—change. References : Babkina, N., and J.M.

By Adeboye Amosu:
Nigeria international, Imoh Ezekiel has attracted the interest of French giants, Olympic Marseille, Completesportsnigeria.com can report.
The forward who is currently on loan at Belgian side, Anderlecht – from Al- Arabi of Qatar, is being lined up by the former European champions as replacement for Mitchy Batshuayi who is a target for English Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur.
"Marseille are keen on signing Ezekiel this summer," a reliable source close to the player informed Completesportsnigeria.com.
"That will depend on whether their top striker, Batshuayi, leaves for Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season.
"He is one of the strikers they are looking at as replacement for him. We will have to wait till this summer to see how things pan out."
Ezekiel, 22, has been capped once at international level by Nigeria. He arrived Belgian side, Standard Liege from local side 36 Lions in 2011. He scored 32 goals in 91 appearances for the club before moving to Al-Arabi in 2014.

'The Flash' Recap and Review "Subject 9"
Last time on The Flash, Ralph shifted into DeVoe and the judge has no other choice but to release Barry. The other bus metas are killed by DeVoe except for Becky Sharpe. He takes over her body and kills Warden Wolfe.
This week, Barry is forced to take a leave of absence from the CCPD while the new mayor works to return balance after Wolfe's murder and DeVoe's supposed return. It also doesn't help that many in Central City rightly suspect that the DeVoe who appeared isn't really him, but a meta using his or her powers.
Ralph and Barry head out to find another bus meta, Izzy Bowin (Miranda MacDougall), an up-and-coming country singer. The DeVoes want her for themselves as Becky's body begins to deteriorate after Clifford's takeover. When the boys explain that she's in danger, Izzy refuses to go with them. She uses her powers of amplifying sound waves to escape.
When Harry returns from Earth-2, he runs into Cecile who's exhausted because she's been kept up all night by Joe's thoughts. Harry decides to build something that might help the situation. When the boys and Cisco, show up in costume, DeVoe makes his appearance. While Barry, Ralph, and Cisco get thrown around, Izzy is able to use her powers to hurt DeVoe, much to Barry's surprise. Izzy is concerned with getting her big break and getting her life back instead of being trained.
Ralph convinces her to stay and train. Harry gets frustrated when Cecile complains about the size of his invention and they have a mini argument about his behavior. Elsewhere, Barry steps in to train Izzy when she fails to hit Ralph beyond her first attempt. She does well on moving targets but ends up cutting her arm. Not happy about getting hurt, she goes after DeVoe on her own, believing she can handle him. Ralph gets upset with Barry because he really likes her.
Cisco tries to vibe and find her, but DeVoe breaks the connection throwing Cisco across the room. Caitlin stays behind to take care of Cisco, while Ralph and Barry go after DeVoe and Izzy with a plan to use the cerebral inhibitor Harry originally developed for Cecile.
DeVoe ends up hacking the device despite Harry implanting a chip that was supposed to keep hackers out. The guys are powerless and have to watch as DeVoe takes over Izzy's body, killing Becky.
Understanding how DeVoe is traveling, Cisco starts working to find out where DeVoe's lair is located in another dimension. Ralph is saddened by Izzy's situation and takes some time on his own. Elsewhere, Cecile and Harry work on their developing friendship, while the DeVoes celebrate their success.
Final thoughts on this week's episode of The Flash
I enjoyed Izzy's character, but not her naivety in thinking she could handle DeVoe on her own without really knowing how to use her powers. This episode had a lot of moments that didn't make sense or felt like the writers threw it in to create more conflict. At the beginning of the episode she's able to toss Ralph and Barry without using a violin, so why is she completely at a loss after her violin strings break because of Becky's bad luck powers? It just seemed like they made her weaker so DeVoe could win this round. Or maybe they're trying to stick with the canon of Issac Bowin's powers as The Fiddler in the comics since he uses a violin.
Another plothole, if Harry made the cerebral inhibitor unhackable how'd DeVoe hack it with Ramsey's powers? Felt like just another point for DeVoe to keep the season going. I'm also a bit on the fence about Ralph being so upset about Izzy getting taken. He knew her for a day and became really protective of her in a way that felt rushed. Do better Flash writers.
What did I like about this week's episode of The Flash and the country music meta? The people of the CCPD seem to be getting smarter and are actually questioning DeVoe's magical reappearance. Also, I enjoyed Harry and Cecile's dynamic. The SFX for Izzy's powers were cool too.
I'm giving "Subject 9" a 6.5/10.

Wellington: All set to return from a self-imposed exile, New Zealand batsman Jesse Ryder is getting ready to represent his IPL franchisee, Pune Warriors in the upcoming edition of the tournament, which commences on April 4 in Chennai.
The left-hander, who had taken an indefinite break from cricket to resolve his alcohol-related problems, will be supported by his manager Aaron Klee and clinical psychologist Karen Nimmo on his trip to India.
"Jesse has been making steady progress over the past few weeks. While the IPL has clear challenges, and is a big step, I believe he`s ready to take it," Nimmo said.
"Cricket is Jesse`s job and what he`s good at, so I was keen to see him return to the game as soon as practical, but only with the right structures in place," he said.
Earlier this month Klee in a statement had revealed that the cricketer has pulled out of Wellington`s squad for their Plunket Shield match against Northern Districts and had not decided on his return to the competitive cricket.
The announcement came a week after Ryder was dropped from the New Zealand squad for the third ODI against South Africa for breaking the team protocol, which restricts a player from consuming alcohol while rehabilitating from an injury.
The 24-year-old was also left out of the Test series that followed the three-match ODI rubber.
After losing to South Africa in the second ODI at Napier, Ryder along with Doug Bracewell went to a hotel and were found in a verbal duel with a patron there.
"Team protocols dictate that players who are rehabilitating from injury should not consume alcohol and unfortunately both players went to a Napier hotel following the conclusion of the match," New Zealand Cricket (NZC) had said in a release.
"Also, while at the hotel both players verbally reacted to taunts from a member for the public," the release added. The incident was the latest addition to Ryder`s indiscretions, which has always found him in the headlines for the wrong reasons.
Meanwhile, Klee said Ryder was going to try his best to overcome the issue.
"Karen is travelling to India the day after Jesse and will continue her work with him there while I`ll be going over a little later to carry that work on," Klee said.
"The franchise has been wonderful and Jesse is desperate to perform on and off the field, and get his career back on track," he added.
Ryder`s inclusion in the team will be a big boost for the Sourav Ganguly led side, which has been left a bit depleted in the aftermath of Yuvraj Singh`s absence from the cricket field due to a rare germ cell cancer.
NZC chief executive David White supported Ryder`s move to be a part of the cash-rich league.
"It`s really positive that Jesse has reached the point where he is ready to play competitive cricket again," he said.

In addition to the LiteraSci lesson plans for classroom use, ScienceStart! includes materials designed for preschool programs to use as outreach to parents (ZipKits, Science Celebrations) and materials for parents to use with their children.
Developing language and early literacy skills are major goals of all preschool programs. Opportunities for language and literacy development were always embedded in the ScienceStart! classroom lesson plans. However, when we received a grant from the US Department of Education's Early Reading First program, we wrote curriculum materials that explicitly showed how to integrate the science activities with the components of literacy that had been identified in scientifically based reading research (SBRR). Each day's lesson plan includes a full page of suggestions on how to integrate the science activities with Speaking and Listening, Reading Comprehension, Alphabet Awareness, Phonological Awareness, and Print Awareness.
Far too many preschool teachers have told us that they don't have time to teach science because they have to teach literacy. But of course you can teach science, language, and literacy together. We renamed our classroom lesson plans LiteraSci, hoping this would help emphasize the integration of Literacy learning with Science learning.
Aren't science concepts too difficult for young children?
As a discipline, science is defined as an understanding of the natural world. Young children are biologically prepared to learn to walk and talk, and in the same way, they are biologically prepared to learn about the world they live in. Learning about the world through the lens of scientific investigation is age-appropriate and highly engaging for young children.
The processes involved in science investigations are the same ones that young children are in the process of developing – observation, comparison, classification, planning, describing, and so forth. All children develop these skills during everyday experiences. Science investigations can strengthen these skills and help children become more consciously aware of them.
What science topics can be explored with young children?
Young children typically need first-hand experience to understand what an adult is talking about. So science for young children is most appropriate when it involves hands-on activities. The LiteraSci Early Childhood Curriculum includes units that could be described as physics (Movement and Machines, Color and Light), life science (Neighborhood Habitats), chemistry (Properties of Matter. We also explore data collection and ways to represent data through modules about school and friends and a module about ways to measure things.
Science topics during the early childhood years generally avoid phenomena that cannot be personally experienced, such as magnetism, dinosaurs, and (for most children) oceans. This does not mean that young children are not interested in these topics. It is simply difficult to explore them in depth at this age.
I don't know much about science, so how can I teach it to children?
The great thing about age-appropriate science for young children is that it is also age-appropriate for all adults. We have seen parents without a high-school diploma, early childhood providers who claim to be 'frightened' by science, and professional research scientists explore the everyday world with young children. They do so in very similar ways.
Three- and four-year-olds are extremely curious about the everyday world. They ask hundreds of questions! You don't need to know the answers to these questions to teach science. Just agree with the child that it is an interesting question, then collaborate with the child in trying to find answers. Science is a body of knowledge, but much more importantly, it is a procedure for finding out about the everyday world. Learning and practicing these procedures make all of us scientifically literate.
The LiteraSci Early Childhood Curriculum has a very simple and child-friendly 'cycle of scientific reasoning' that you can easily adjust for your own goals.
Reflect and Ask:
When you and the child(ren) have a question, talk about everything you already know that might help you answer the question. Decide whether to narrow-down the question.
There are hundreds of books for young children that can help them learn more about science. These books are both expository/non-fiction and fiction.
What does science look like in a preschool classroom?
Just like they are biologically prepared to learn to walk, talk, and interact with other people, young children are biologically prepared to learn about their everyday world. They form mental representations of their experiences and use these representations to guide their further actions, expectations, and understanding.
The LiteraSci Early Childhood Curriculum, takes 'learning about the everyday world' to a new level. The lesson plans provide structured opportunities for systematic exploration of the phenomena that children regularly experience and provide ways for children to organize and talk about these experiences. For example, all children have experiences with air, liquids, and solids. LiteraSci lesson plans organize these experiences so that children learn the vocabulary for these different states of matter, identify and compare their characteristics, experience how a single substance (such as water) can change from one form to another, and plan investigations to explore further questions they may have.
I've heard about "the knowledge gap." What does that mean?
Children who grow up in poverty tend to enter school with lower vocabulary and fewer language skills than their middle-class peers. They also know less about the everyday world. We know that these differences do NOT mean that children living in poverty have lower intellectual skills than children in more affluent environments. What it DOES suggest is that they have fewer enrichment experiences and fewer opportunities to have conversations with adults. This means they don't have the opportunities to develop a rich knowledge base and large vocabulary; it eventually interferes with their ability to comprehend what they are reading (because comprehension means relating text to what is already known).
The LiteraSci Early Childhood Curriculum is the only commercially available curriculum that emphasizes content. While children learn the science content, they are also developing important, age-appropriate skills in language, literacy, mathematics, and cognition.
Isn't it more important for young children to be learning the foundations for literacy than learning science?
No one needs to make this choice! Children develop many of the foundations for literacy as they investigate and experiment. Their vocabulary expands. They develop a variety of language skills such as asking questions, describing what they see, forming explanations. As they use books to look for information, they learn many conventions of print. Children can be introduced to alphabet letters, comprehension skills, and phonological awareness skills within the context of reading and doing science. They can create books and "write" in science journals as they explore new science topics.
If you are uncertain how to integrate science with language and literacy, you will find that the LiteraSci lesson plans do this for you. As you follow these lesson plans, this type of integration will become automatic for you.
Funding is always so limited. Isn't it expensive to get the equipment needed to do science?
Of course there is no limit to the amount of money you could spend equipping your early childhood classroom. On the other hand, most of the materials you will need to teach science to young children is not specialized; they are already in the classroom or readily available from local stores (for example, items for cooking, blocks, cars, counting bears, and pan balances). Special items you could need include flashlights, magnifying glasses, eye droppers, and mirrors.
We also recommend that people who adopt the LiteraSci Early Childhood Curriculum invest in a digital camera and printer so that the children can create classroom books to document the results of their investigations. Each day's lesson plan recommends a book to read aloud; many of these are available in school or public libraries and a teacher can always substitute a different book on the same topic.

When my older sister turned 16, my parents bought her a ring--an emerald ring, since she's always been in love with that color. I remember as my mom tried to pick out just the right one, looking at the shape, design, size, and mostly, the color. You see, there was a significant difference in color between lab-created emeralds and true emeralds. The fake ones were gorgeous, quite frankly--the color was deep and rich and flawless. The real ones, on the other hand, were a little lighter in color, often with little flecks of light reflecting subtle impurities in the stone. In ways, it really didn't seem quite as pretty.
But it was worth so much more.
My sister's favorite color may always be that deeper, richer green, but she has never regretted getting a real emerald ring, imperfections and all.
I want to be like a gemstone, a real one. A fake one may be prettier, more perfect, may draw the attention or admiration of more, may seem like the better choice between the two. But what is the point, if all of it is fake? A real person has struggles as well as triumphs, weaknesses as well as strengths, as a part of what makes them who they are. The real life versus the fake one is almost guaranteed to be messy, painful, imperfect, and not always the prettiest to look at. But it is worth so much more. It is genuine, it is honest, and that in itself makes it more beautiful than the hastily smoothed-over surface of a fake one could ever be.
I got a ring for my 16th birthday, too. It's an aquamarine--a real one, so it's very light and sometimes people confuse it for a diamond. But it hasn't left my hand for two and a half years, and to me it's much more beautiful than a fake turquoise stone could ever be. Just as a real, heartfelt, genuine, feeling, honest, true person is so much more beautiful to me than anyone trying to fake it.
And isn't it interesting that, in the end, gemstones are just rocks that have undergone a lot of pressure?
I like to make people laugh. Books get me, and I obsess over musicals. I love Jesus and life and people and theatre and deep philosophical conversations and being ridiculous. I'm Jennoelle, but you can call me Jenn. Come visit me at UO!

To those of us who know the history, there's a definite "it's about time!" feeling to MySpace's latest initiative. In mid-October, Wired reported the capture of serial sex offender Andrew Lubrano, who maintained a MySpace profile with 93 friends, including six teenagers he met through the site. The road to that capture began with a 1000-line Perl program written and executed (in April 2006) by Kevin Poulsen. That program searched MySpace's 100 million or more user profiles for registered sex offenders, finding a number of users that matched up with sex offenders registered in California's online database of sex offenders.
As Poulsen noted in his article, "That's something that MySpace has said it cannot do. Rather, it is seeking new laws that would make it easier to ban sex offenders from the site through an e-mail registry." The upshot of Poulsen's program is that Andrew Lubrano got caught...and MySpace could no longer expect to be believed if it said that it couldn't police its own website against sex offenders.
So in December, MySpace announced that it is partnering with Sentinel Tech Holding to build and deploy a database within 30 days. This database will contain the names and physical descriptions of convicted sex offenders in the U.S. The system will have an automated element that searches for matches between the database and MySpace user profiles. The human element comes in when MySpace employees delete the MySpace profiles that match up with someone in the convicted sex offenders' database.
It's going to be a mammoth task. There are more than half a million convicted sex offenders in the U.S., according to states' registries. The problem is that each state has its own rules as to what information is available to the public, how they may obtain it and what they can do with it. Notes Hemanshu Nigam, MySpace's chief security officer, "How do you analyze those different databases...against our, right now, 135 million user profiles? We came to the conclusion (that) there was absolutely no real way to do this in a real-time, scalable fashion."
Sentinel plans to use data from aggregators such as LexisNexis to build the database. It will be updated monthly with information that includes names, ages, hair color, height, scars and tattoos. Unfortunately, if someone lies about that information in their MySpace profile, it's unclear whether they will get caught or fall through the cracks. This is just one of the issues with using these kinds of tools.

Cleanrooms are highly controlled environments where the air quality is monitored to ensure the extreme standards of cleanliness required for the manufacture of pharmaceutical, electronic, and healthcare goods. These stringent standards usually require high fresh air rates, extensive filtering, temperature, and humidity control - all of which results in increased energy usage.
Protection from uncontrolled ingress of external ambient air is achieved by creating a pressure differential between the cleanroom and its surroundings. Contamination control is the primary consideration in cleanroom design; however, the relationships between contamination control and airflow are not well understood. Contaminants such as particles or microbes are primarily introduced to cleanrooms by people, although processes in cleanrooms may also introduce contamination. During periods of inactivity or when people are not present, it is possible to reduce airflow and maintain cleanliness conditions.
In relation to the risk assessment of cleanrooms, Tim Sandle has written a free-to-view online paper. Access it here: Sandle cleanrooms.

A Staten Island mother was charged in the death of her baby, which was ruled a homicide in January, police said. Photo Credit: iStock By Alison Fox firstname.lastname@example.com @AlisonFox Updated May 15, 2018 12:08 PM Print Share fbShare Tweet gShare Email A Staten Island mother was charged Monday evening in the death of her 1-year-old daughter, police said, more than a year after the child died. Leila Wade, 39, is accused of leaving out prescription medication that little Bianca Abdul then took. The city Office of Chief Medical Examiner last year ruled the death a homicide, determining the cause of death to be acute intoxication from morphine and diazepam, an anti-anxiety drug, according to Aja Worthy-Davis, a spokeswoman for the agency. Police said Wade was charged with manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, reckless endangerment and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Police were first called on March 20, 2017, and took Bianca to Staten Island University Hospital North, but she was pronounced dead. At the time, Wade told investigators that Bianca had fallen and hit her head a few days before her death, according to police sources. Both Wade and Bianca's father had previously been investigated by the city's Administration for Children's Services and both had a criminal history.

Our products are made of fiberglass,
a contemporary material in the building industry, following
the advances in furniture manufacturing techniques.
The major advantage of using fiberglass
furniture is its enhanced strength and lightness. Compared
to other textures, fiberglass is a lot more durable.
It is resistant to all weathers conditions, such as
a vast range of temperatures and humidity. In contrast
to wood, it will not warp, crack or rot, so yearly treatment
with paint, stain or varnish is not required. Unlike
all metallic products fiberglass furniture is rust and
corrosion proof, which prolongs its life.
Furniture made from wood may be aesthetic;
nonetheless, it is incredibly flammable. Inflammability
of fiberglass furniture creates a distinctive feature
for our products. In general, fiberglass furniture is
fire resistant up to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition,
Fiberglass furniture is an excellent insulator, especially
from electricity, and it also resists from a large range
of chemicals. Users can feel safe with Eudor
& Lavue in any situation.
our products had been finished with the quality Baked Enamel
Paint System. Baked enamel paint is regarded as one of the
most advanced paint methods of recent times. It provides a
tough coating on a surface. By repeating the baking process
the durability of product surface is improved with resistance
to scratching, chipping, and fading. Creating a maintained,
glossy and long lasting finish.
if you have greasy hands and need to open up the cabinet,
what would you do?" This is very often a situation in
the kitchen and a handle-less cabinet was introduced to resolve
this problem. This is a very smart solution but it is not
popular in the uses of lounge/living room furniture.
As we recognize the increasing need of handle-less systems,
we have employed this in a majority of our cabinets. Only
a light touch is required and furniture doors swing open to
a comfortable opening angle. This provides our product a valuable
feature that it is user friendly. All kinds of users would
be benefited from easier use.

Yesterday (Oct.13) I had protected sex but it wasn't sex in the moment me and my boyfriend were just trying it out and experimenting , we were doing fine and the condom was working until we tried a different position and as he put his penis in half way slowly we heard a loud pop and he immediately pulled out and we both went straight the bathroom to look at the condom and it had a side hole where the penis had came through it .. I took plan B almost two hours after ,( we noticed his pre cum was sort of in the condom we weren't very sure if it was vagina liquid or not but but when the condom was off his penis we noticed he was releasing pre cum at the point ,) I'm 180 pounds and I'm also skeptical of if its going to be effective on me and if I should take something else or take plan b again today (Oct.14) to also lessen the chances of anything happening. My last period started also Sept. 28 and Oct.2 it was my first normal period in awhile since its always irregular when I'm always active.. So I'm also not sure when I'm fertile or not .. I wasn't as worried as I am now the next day on reading everything of plan b and such so I just need answers and help and concerns . Thank you.
Responses (1)
You can't take Plan B more than once in the same cycle (Day 1 of your cycle is the first day of your period).
If you need emergency contraception in future, EllaOne is better for those with a BMI of more than 26. or you could have a coil/IUD fitted.
You could still have a coil fitted, even after using Plan B, if you are worried. That will also act as future birth control. It can be inserted up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse.
There is only sperm in pre-cum, if your partner has masturbated in the few hours prior to intercourse, as it is washed out of the urethra as he empties his bladder.
Although Plan B states that it is not good for those of a BMI greater than 26, I have used it when my BMI was 28 ish, & not become pregnant. Of course, it's impossible to use that as a definite yard stick, as it depends if I would have become pregnant had I not used it, which is impossible to know for sure.
You are fertile around day 14 of your cycle, if you are in the majority of women. Some are later, some sooner.
Sperm can life inside a woman for up to 6 days, under the right circumstances, so if you are in the period of your cycle between days 8-18 'ish', that it LIKELY to be your most fertile time, but not definitely. As your periods are irregular, it's hard to know where you were, for sure. Unless you monitor your fertility signs (that's a useful thing to do).
If you're still worried, your best bet would be a coil/IUD.
