Seeking Support at Emory University
EDITOR'S NOTE: This story is part of a new ongoing series about international student life at colleges and universities across the U.S. Please join us over the next several weeks as we bring you stories about these amazing individuals and the American higher education system as a whole.
Ruofei Chen's family is from China and she grew up in Lima, Peru. She knew those parts of the world and studied for her undergraduate degree in Asia and Latin America.
When Ruofei Chen chose to start a master's degree program in 2015, she says she wanted something really different.
Ruofei Chen chose a new field of study called development practice. This field tries to explain how economic development can help solve poverty and other issues around the world.
As this field is so new, only a few universities around the world offer a degree program for it. For Roufei Chen, it has also meant new challenges.
Because the U.S. is involved in development around world, Ruofei Chen wanted to study at a U.S. university. She chose Emory University, a private research university just outside of Atlanta, Georgia.
Founded by the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1836, the school is now home to over 14,700 students. The founders of the Coca-Cola Company helped build the current campus in 1914.
When Ruofei Chen arrived at Emory, she had no idea what to expect. This caused some problems for her right away.
"Grad school in (the) U.S. can be really busy -- like, really busy, depending on how much elective classes you are enrolledin."
Ruofei Chen studies in the hours between her classes, at night and on the weekends. She also has to make connections with people and work on group projects.
She is also planning a trip to Nicaragua in the summer of 2016 to help prevent diseases that affect people in poverty. This is part of an Emory Global Health Institute project.
All of this happens in English, which is not her native language.
But Ruofei Chen has found that Emory wants her to succeed. For over 20 years, Emory's Laney Graduate School English Language Support Program has offered special English lessons.
Once a week Ruofei Chen meets one-on-one with Peggy Wagner, a teacher with the program. Together, they work on more than just English grammar or vocabulary. Wagner helps Ruofei Chen examine how her voice sounds and how to use the language in different ways.
"What's really fun for me is how to find ways to engage in discussions in a more professional way so that they can let their intellect shine and really express the intent that they want."
Sharon Chen found similar support when she began her undergraduate studies at Emory in 2014.
From Wuhan, China, Sharon Chen says she did not know what she wanted to study when she started looking for schools. She only knew she wanted to study at a U.S. university.
Sharon Chen began her research by looking at the U.S. News and World Report. The U.S. News and World Report is a media company that creates a list of what it calls "America's Best Colleges."
She saw Emory high on this list and chose to study business at the university.
But Sharon Chen was not fully prepared for her U.S. college experience either. She says high school classes in China are not interactive. When her professors at Emory first asked her to speak in class she felt lost.
Some of her classes had as many as 36 students in them, but others were as small as six students. These classes required her to engage with native English speakers in unfamiliar ways.
Luckily, Natalie Cruz, the director of international student life, was there to support Sharon Chen.
Cruz says it is a continuing problem for international students to communicate or make friends with students from the U.S.
Cruz began working in the Office of International Student Life at Emory in 2013. She says right away she began looking to solve this problem.
"So I was able to come in and really work with students to find out what their needs were, how could we really best serve students at Emory?"
Cruz organizes programs that build relationships between foreign and domestic students. The Conversation Partners program is one example. International students and students from the U.S. join this program and agree to meet once a week to talk.
The Office of International Student Life often holds events that celebrate the food and culture of different countries.
For her efforts, Cruz was the winner of Emory's Advisor of the Year award for the 2015 school year. Sharon Chen speaks very highly of the help Cruz has given her.
"Natalie is my mentor and my friend. She taught me a lot and we organize events together. So I enjoy working with her a lot."
Ruofei Chen has no regrets about her decision to come to Emory. She loves how personal her learning experience has been. But she does have some advice for international students considering a U.S. education.
She says that U.S. universities provide lots of support for their students. But students must be willing to look for that support themselves.
She also says students should learn as much as they can about a school before choosing to attend it.
"Get to know the place before you come. It will help you to minimize the gap between your expectations and what you will actually find here."
I'm Pete Musto.

Indonesia's Currency Rebounds Following Tuesday's 10% Slump
Indonesia's currency rebounded Wednesday on news that Suharto plans to attend a meeting of Asian leaders. The announcement eased rumors the president is in poor health, talk that pushed the rupiah down 10% Tuesday.
Still, the currency's gyrations illustrate the continued weakness in Asian markets. Multibillion-dollar international rescue plans haven't yet brought stability to the region's jittery markets.

A former Teesside scoutmaster was today due to learn his fate after being convicted of a string of child porn offences.
Kelvin David Marshall, 33, was facing the prospect of a jail term when he appeared at Teesside Crown Court.
Marshall was convicted by a jury last November of 19 charges of making indecent photographs of children.
Judge Tony Lancaster adjourned that hearing for preparation of a pre-sentence report. But Marshall, formerly of Meadowfield Drive, Eaglescliffe, was warned he faced jail.
The married dad had denied the offences but was found guilty of downloading child pornography from the Internet. He resigned as a scoutmaster with the 1st Eaglescliffe (All Saints) Scout Group after the allegations came to light.

For almost half her life, our three year old middle child has been pushing her little brother around. She loves him, but by all appearances she also loves making him cry – multiple times a day. Disturbingly, I can't recall her ever displaying any signs of genuine remorse during this time. (I'm sure that's normal though… Right…?)
For his entire life, our 16 month old son has been pushed around by his older sister. He has been jumped on, pinched, hit, bitten, pushed over, squeezed so tight he could barely breathe, and on at least one occasion kicked (without warning) in the face.
I have spent considerable time defending our little guy against the evil force, but I can't be everywhere. And so it is with barely concealed delight that I am witnessing him start to fight back.
This morning as I put them both into the car to drive home from the supermarket, our little man yanked his sister's hair – very hard, and for no reason. She told him to stop, but he just laughed and kept pulling.
Clearly I cannot condone this behaviour, but inside I was jumping up and down with my pom poms. "Give us an "F", Give us an "L" etc. What's it spell? What's it spell?"
On the way home I tried to imagine what it must be like to be tortured your whole life, and then finally develop the skills needed to strike back. How liberating! No wonder his grin has had quite a jubilant air about it lately…
I do feel a twinge of sadness for our girl. She is only three, and already her little brother is as big as she is. I suspect he will soon be stronger, as nimble, and probably as motivated. From now on she will have to rely on her cunning, and not her brawn. I have no doubt she will adapt nicely.
In the meantime, as long as there is no risk of bloodshed or broken bones, I plan to stay out of it. And if she runs to me for comfort, I will try to think of something to say that is slightly more soothing than "What goes around comes around, sweetheart."
Or not…

Working on a REST/JSON web service? No need to reinvent the wheel - there are several nice packages to get started. One that we've had tremendous success with is Dropwizard. Java-based, ops-friendly, very fast and easy to get started.
Another interesting package is Swagger. For larger projects, documentation and self-describing services become more and more important. One nice thing about Swagger: quick, fast bootstrap for everything - Spring, Play, Scala to Node.js, and many more.
As we see more and more web applications looking more and more like REST/JSON services feeding JavaScript applications, this kind of development model becomes more and more appealing - even more so with such easy tools.

Aretha Franklin's funeral will take place later this month, her publicist has confirmed.
The singer will be laid to rest during a private ceremony attended by close family and friends in her hometown of Detroit on Friday 31 August.
However, fans will have a chance to say goodbye to the Queen Of Soul as she lays in state for two days prior to her funeral.
Public viewings will take place on Tuesday 28 and Wednesday 29 August at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.
Her funeral will then be held at the Greater Grace Temple, before she is entombed at Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit.
Aretha will be buried alongside her father, Rev. C.L. Franklin; brother Cecil Franklin; sisters Carolyn Franklin and Erma Franklin; and nephew, Thomas Garrett.
The legendary singer died on Thursday at the age of 76, following a long fight against advanced pancreatic cancer.
Her relatives said they had "lost the matriarch and rock" of their family in a statement issued via her publicist.

We've been hearing a lot about companies like Amazon, transparency and fiscal paradise lately. This week we're going to be talking about tax avoidance (legal) and evasion (illegal).
First look at this graph. It's quite old (2011) but I couldn't find anything more recent.
- Do these figures surprise you?
Listen and read the article from the American magazine Forbes.
Tax Avoidance And Tax Evasion Are To The Benefit Of Us All
- What is the message in the article?
- What do you think about his opinion?

"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them."
Comment from Bryce in AL.
"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry"
Comment from Public Forum
"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable."
Comment from Ron in Utah
"As a past ******* customer(and not a happy one), IQ Feed by DTN is a much better and cheaper product with great customer support. I have had no problems at all since switching over."
Comment from Public Forum
"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago."
Comment from Ken
"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable."
Comment from Rob
"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!"
Comment from Adam
"I had always used ******* but for the past 2 weeks have been trying DTN IQFeed. Customer support has been extraordinary. They call just to make sure your problem hasn't recurred."
Comment from Public Forum
"I am enjoying the feed very much - so superior to the broker provided feed I was previously using."
Comment from George
"I started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn't miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility."

Technical difficulties have thrown us off schedule, but this week we should have a chance to catch up. So it's time to put some serious thought into your final project, which will consist of a written story with at least three interviews, a video and a slideshow.
I want you to write a blog post describing your final project by next Monday, Nov. 4, at 9 a.m. This is a few days later than what I've posted on the syllabus (although I will update the syllabus) — again, because our videos got delayed. I'm hoping that we'll be able to have a substantial discussion about projects in class next Tuesday, Nov. 5.
If at all possible, your project should be related to your beat. I also expect that it will be local so that you can conduct interviews in person. That doesn't mean you can't drive to New Hampshire. It does mean that I don't want a story that is based solely on phone interviews with people in Los Angeles.
Your story may be about some digital-media aspect related to your beat, but that is not a requirement. For instance, let's say your beat is the Red Sox. You could do a story about how the Red Sox are using social media. You could profile a prominent fan blogger. Or you could do something completely different, such as profiling a retired Red Sox player or groundskeeper or whatever.
In your blog post, I want to see evidence that you've thought this through and that you have made contact with at least one key source that you'll need to make this happen.

Happy November, everyone! Can you believe I just said that? It seems like it was just May, and now we've officially passed by Halloween. Speaking of which, this post will be a little less on the etiquette side (though I'll throw some in for good measure) and a little more on the traditions side of things. Also, I may step on some toes, and I apologize in advance if that's the case.
Truck-or-treat versus trick-or-treat. Sigh. I miss the good ol' days. In all honesty, my trick-or-treating days were pretty light, considering my family lived in the boonies. However, we would make our way to town each All Hallow's Eve to do door-to-door trick-or-treating. We never quite knew what to expect, and some of the houses were elaborately decorated.
This year I shared a similar experience with my kids. For the past month a house about a block from ours has had a four year-old stalker. Each night around 7:30 or 8:00, we would load up in my car, and we'd take a drive one block over to see a certain house. Now, even on an average day of the year this house is beautiful. Two stories with a second story screened porch. However, for the past month it's also sported eyes on the windows, a 20' tall Grim Reamer (as my daughter called it), a spider and a myriad of other Halloween decorations. It's no surprise that the first house the kids wanted to visit was this one.
The surprise came later when very few of the homes had their porch light one. Even worse? Only about 2/3 of the ones that did were actually participating in Halloween. Listen. I get it. You're not obligated to hand out candy to the princesses, ghosts and witches that come up to your home. However, Halloween etiquette does dictate that you kindly turn off your porch light. It's one night a year. It won't hurt anything.
Now here is where my theory goes a little further in two ways. First, trunk-or-treat takes out so much of the fun of trick-or-treating. The excited nervousness just isn't there when you simply walk from car to car with your bag out. That's not to say I wish that trunk-or-treats would go away completely. I fully respect that many religious groups disagree with Halloween. Can I share something with you, though? By trunk-or-treating, you're still participating, no matter how much you try to church it up. My greatest wish regarding trunk-or-treats is simply that they wouldn't be on Halloween night. #bringbackHalloween.
"Trunk-or-treats are safer," you might say. Well, that brings me to my next theory. I'm not quite sure which one is the chicken and which one is the egg, so bear with me for a bit. Trick-or-treating allows you to *gasp* get out in your own neighborhood. Thus, you meet your neighbors. If a house looks truly sketchy, don't go to it. It's likely their porch light isn't one anyhow because they don't want to the cops to notice their drug deals. However, last night we met some of the kindest people on our candy quest. We admired their homes in a way we never had before, we complimented their decorations and, in true Southern form, I thanked them for giving of their time to hand out candy. Yes, the kids thanked them for the candy, too.
Of course we still examined the candy once we were home, but I truly felt the people handing out candy enjoyed seeing the kids. Most were older folks who probably don't get as many visitors as they once did. It's a win-win.
Halloween is my favorite holiday for so many reasons. It, in my opinion, kicks off the holiday season. There's so much unknown and excitement about it. It also is the best excuse to go around to your neighbors and have them come to you. I hope you'll join me next year in bringing back an old fashioned Halloween. I'd love to hear your thoughts, even if they disagree with mine! Thank you for reading!

A MAN who slapped his ex-girlfriend in the face with a plastic spatula at a New Year's Eve party has been fined.
The incident happened in the early hours of New Year's Day when the pair ran into each other by chance at a house party in Bishopsfield Road, Fareham.
Both had been drinking and started arguing in the kitchen.
Michael Wright, 27, said he could not remember why the argument started but he lost his cool when his ex Finola Elmes accused him of cheating on his current girlfriend.
Prosecuting Alicia Keen said: 'They were in a relationship and separated after two and a half years.
'This was a party at a house in Bishopsfield Road and Miss Elmes was out for New Year's Eve.
'She arrived about 2am and she was there about 15 minutes when she realised that Wright was there and they spoke to each other and there was a dispute.
'She approached Wright in the kitchen when an argument ensued.
'He picked up a black spatula and hit her in the face with it.
'He then dropped it to the floor and was removed from the kitchen by some of his friends.'
Mrs Keen said that Wright, a groundworker, was sorry for what he had done and he had not intended to go to the same party as Miss Elmes.
Miss Elmes suffered reddening to her cheek but was otherwise unhurt.
Defending Wright, Sally Martin said that Miss Elmes had admitted being shocked at his behaviour as it was so out of character.
She also said that both had been drinking and that Wright had not drunk alcohol since.
Ms Martin said: 'He has got a good awareness of the fact that when he drinks too much he gets in trouble and he realises this has to stop.'
Fareham magistrates heard that Wright, of Gibraltar Close, Fareham, had six previous offences.
Chairman of the magistrates the Rev Michael Cleaves said: 'This was an incident between ex friends rather than a domestic dispute.'
Wright was given a £200 fine. He must also pay court costs of £85 and a £20 victim surcharge.

[TVA]Connor12 Jun 2018 South Texas 1814D
Hello everyone! The Texas VEX Alliance has posted a quiz on their Instagram where the public may vote and decide for the expected meta design for this season. After some time, the results were tallied and charts were made for the expected design for this season. If you and your team is new, I would suggest that this would be the best design to be both simplistic and competitive at once, and that it could potentially make you go far in this game.
A link to the results can be found here: https://texasvexalliance.wixsite.com/texasvexalliance/meta
NOTE: The results of the vote has no influence with the Texas VEX Alliance, and it is to simply help new teams.
If you would like to get help and advice about your designs and ideas, would like to join in on the votes, or maybe want to see some leaks we may post in the future, make sure to follow the Texas VEX Alliance Instagram (The results can be found here as well): https://www.instagram.com/texasvexalliance/?hl=en
EDIT//: You guys are awesome, thank you so much for the support towards my team, as well as our alliance too :). As long as I am getting support like this, I am more than willing to help provide to you guys and give advice too.

£50 million
A debatable level of enticing prestige
Around 10 positions to fill
A pathetically attacking force
So who would you recommend? Sven needs your input
Tord Grip.
prefer someone who won't drag us into a furious off-pitch legal battle. Thkz
Carlton Palmer
Patricia Hewitt
Hyacinth Bucket
would be a btter striker than Corradi
where does that leave Samaras?
worse than Thora Hird?
I wouldn't go too crazy. Didn't that Thai dude who bought the club just have all his money frozen because he pissed off the junta (I love that word) that deposed him back in the mother country?
all the money in Thailand
but the rest is ours now
Alan Smith, but that would cause a ruckus
Huntelaar. Everyone should try and get Huntelaar.
Someone fast to play with Samaras and Huntelaar who isn't shit, so perhaps Diomansy Kamara.
A driving force to replace Joey Barton = Scott Parker or Jermain Jenas.
A good goalie = Carson or Foster on loan, although I don't know how bad Fosters injury is.
Then, no doubt, a bunch of random foreigners and possibly a Thai to drum up interest at home.

Prior to his £12 million move to Aston Villa in August 2016, Ross McCormack was arguably the most sought-after striker outside of the English top flight.
The Scotland international had registered 116 Championship goals across his eight seasons in the second division, with 21 of those coming in his final season at Fulham before his switch to Villa Park.
Now, a little over a year later with just three goals in 20 appearances for the Midlands club and a failed loan spell at Nottingham Forest to boot, the 31-year-old has been shipped to A-League outfit Melbourne City in what looks to be a final opportunity to save his crumbling reputation.
And he has, at least, made a positive start.
McCormack came close to opening the scoring during the first half of City's 2-0 victory over Brisbane Roar on the opening day, with a strike which narrowly missed the target. He was also heavily involved in City's second goal, scored by Bruce Kamau, poking the ball left to winger Nick Fitzgerald before the resulting cross was delivered.
There were flashes of frustration, however, while City were defending opposing attacks, and McCormack did pick up a booking on 56 minutes for time wasting before being replaced by Poland Under-21 international Marcin Budzinski in the latter stages of the half.
But, in all, there was plenty to suggest McCormack will be a success at his new club.
"It was good," McCormack told the official Melbourne City website after the game. "That was my first start since March and I think it was 80 minutes under my belt. It was a bit rusty but it can only get better. Fitness-wise was fine, it was just more sharpness that I'm going to be working on in the coming weeks to get back to where I feel I need to be.
"It's just all about training every day, and to be fair, the manager demands it and the boys are doing it. I think if you work hard and concentrate on playing well, hopefully the chances will start to be created and I back myself if I get chances to score goals."
McCormack comes into the team as a replacement for marquee striker Bruno Fornaroli, the club's top scorer with 42 goals in 56 league outings over the past two seasons, who will miss the rest of the year because of a fractured ankle.
While the City Football Group-owned club were expected to dip into the pool of players at parent club Manchester City to find a replacement, it was McCormack's relationship with youth team assistant Patrick Kisnorbo and midfielder Neil Kilkenny from his time at Leeds which convinced manager Warren Joyce to gamble on him as the injury replacement for Fornaroli.
Like the Uruguayan, McCormack is capable of the extraordinary, though he is far more direct in his approach. It has not been uncommon for the former Cardiff, Leeds and Fulham star to register goals from distance, though it is in behind opposing defenders where he excels.
There are few more potent than McCormack from close range, with his irregular movement patterns making him an incredibly difficult forward to pick up. His ability to open his body up and create chances for himself and those playing around him has been fundamental to his success in the English second tier.
McCormack is not as gifted as technically gifted as Fornaroli, but what he lacks in natural ability he makes in reading situations and energy on the break, something which City fans got a glimpse of in their opening fixture.
McCormack's off-field problems have been well-documented over the last 12-months, though, with his relationship with Villa boss Steve Bruce breaking down indefinitely. He's now making the right noises, saying the correct things to the media, and has promised City chiefs he is ready to work his way out of the toughest spell of his career thus far.
"I think most players have a dip in their careers, hopefully that was mine. I'm not a silly little boy now, I know there's a bit to prove."
This is McCormack's chance; his chance to prove he still has the hunger to work towards the highest level and to rekindle his stagnating career.
The loan will only benefit those involved, with City profiting from what promises to be a sizeable goal return from the Scottish striker – an account which the club will hope he can open in the Melbourne derby on Saturday as City travel to Melbourne Victory.
Odds on A-League suggest Saturday's hosts will claim the points against City, though they opened their season with a 1-0 home defeat against Sydney on Saturday.
McCormack has been handed an opportunity to prove he's up to the task, starting with the derby, and it's now up to him to take it.

Summertime doesn't just mean lounging outdoors but is a great opportunity to make the most of garden rooms or conservatories in your home. Here are 5 of our favourite styles…
1, The adaptable one
We love how flexible this room is with its fold back ceiling height doors, which can turn the place into a suntrap or a breezy terrace space in seconds. This way, no matter how warm it may or may not be outside, the room still feels summery and makes the most of any sunshine.
2, The rustic one
Garden rooms work just as well in traditional interiors as they do in a contemporary one, and rustic themes are no exception. Try adding lashings of rattan and wicker to boost the natural feel of the space and stick to neutral colours to amp up the feeling of warmth.
3, The modern one
If your home is on the contemporary side then take a look at this simple but striking garden room. The clean lines, monochrome fittings and no-nonsense sliding doors are especially perfect for an urban household and a great way to make the most of even the smallest spot of outdoor space.
4, The all-weather one
Garden rooms aren't just for summer, so think about creating a room that will feel just as cosy with winter sun. We love how this room has layered textiles and materials in summery colours but look warm enough to cuddle up in when the seasons change.
5, The outdoor one
While this may technically be a garden rather than a garden room, we love how this set up makes the most of a warm climate and stylish furniture. After all, why not break the rules and move a space outdoors if you can?!

InterPACK is a premier international forum for exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge in research, development, manufacturing, and applications of micro-electronics packaging. It is the flagship conference of the ASME Electronic and Photonic Packaging Division (EPPD) founded in 1992 as an ASME-JSME joint biannual conference.
Arguably, the integrated circuit (IC) industry has received robust scientific and technological attention due to the ultra-small and extremely fast transistors since past four decades that consents to Moore's law. The introduction of new interconnect materials as well as innovative architectures has aided for large-scale miniaturization of devices, but their contributions were limited. Thus, the focus has shifted toward the development of new integration approaches that reduce the interconnect delays which has been achieved successfully by three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC). At this juncture, semiconductor industries utilize Cu–Cu bonding as a key technique for 3D IC integration. This review paper focuses on the key role of low temperature Cu–Cu bonding, renaissance of the low temperature bonding, and current research trends to achieve low temperature Cu–Cu bonding for 3D IC and heterogeneous integration applications.
Gravity-driven two-phase liquid cooling systems using flow boiling within microscale evaporators are becoming a game-changing solution for electronics cooling. The optimization of the system's filling ratio (FR) can however become a challenging problem for a system operating over a wide range of cooling capacities and temperature ranges. The benefits of a liquid accumulator (LA) to overcome this difficulty are evaluated in the present paper. An experimental thermosyphon cooling system was built to cool multiple electronic components up to a power dissipation of 1800 W. A double-ended cylinder with a volume of 150 cm3 is evaluated as the LA for two different system volumes (associated with two different condensers). Results demonstrated that the LA provided robust thermal performance as a function of FR for the entire range of heat loads tested. In addition, the present LA was more effective for a small volume system, 599 cm3, than for a large volume system, 1169 cm3, in which the relative size of the LA increased from 12.8% to 25% of the total system's volume.
This paper presents an experimentally validated room-level computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for raised-floor data center configurations employing active tiles. Active tiles are perforated floor tiles with integrated fans, which increase the local volume flow rate by redistributing the cold air supplied by the computer room air conditioning (CRAC) unit to the under-floor plenum. The numerical model of the data center room consists of one cold aisle with 12 racks arranged on both sides and three CRAC units sited around the periphery of the room. The commercial CFD software package futurefacilities6sigmadcx is used to develop the model for three configurations: (a) an aisle populated with ten (i.e., all) passive tiles; (b) a single active tile and nine passive tiles in the cold aisle; and (c) an aisle populated with all active tiles. The predictions from the CFD model are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data, with an average discrepancy between the measured and computed values for total flow rate and rack inlet temperature less than 4% and 1.7 °C, respectively. The validated models were then used to simulate steady-state and transient scenarios following cooling failure. This physics-based and experimentally validated room-level model can be used for temperature and flow distributions prediction and identifying optimal number and locations of active tiles for hot spot mitigation in data centers.
The revolutionary changes in automotive industry toward fully connected automated electrical vehicles necessitate developments in automotive electronics at unprecedented speed. Signal, control, and power electronics will heterogeneously be integrated at minimum space with sensors and actuators to form highly compact and ultra-smart systems for functions like traction, lighting, energy management, computation, and communication. Most of these systems will be highly safety relevant with the requirements in system availability exceeding today's already high automotive standards. Unlike the human drivers of today, passengers in the automated car do not pay constant attention to the driving actions of the vehicle. Hence, reliability research is massively challenged by the new automotive applications. Guaranteeing the specified lifetime at statistical average is no longer sufficient. Assuring that no failure of an individual safety relevant part occurs unexpectedly becomes most important. The paper surveys the priority actions underway to cope with the tremendous challenges. It highlights practical examples in all three directions of reliability research: (i) Experimental reliability tests and physical analyses: New and highly efficient accelerated stress tests are able to cover the complex and multifold loading situation in the field. New analytics techniques can identify the typical failure modes and their physical root causes; (ii) Virtual techniques: Schemes of validated simulations allow capturing the physics of failure (PoF) proactively in the design for reliability (DfR) process; and (iii) Prognostics health management (PHM). A new concept is introduced for adding a minimum of PHM features at various levels of automotive electronics to provide functional safety as required for autonomous vehicles. This way, the new generation of reliability methods will continuously provide estimates of the remaining useful life (RUL) for each relevant part under the actual use conditions to allow triggering maintenance in time
Rapid advancement of modern electronics has pushed the limits of traditional thermal management techniques. Novel approaches to the manipulation of the flow of heat in electronic systems have potential to open new design spaces. Here, the field of thermal metamaterials as it applies to electronics is briefly reviewed. Recent research and development of thermal metamaterial systems with anisotropic thermal conductivity for the manipulation of heat flow in ultra-thin composites is explained. An explanation of fundamental experimental studies on heat flow control using standard printed circuit board (PCB) technology follows. From this, basic building blocks for heat flux cloaking, focusing, and reversal are reviewed, and their extension to a variety of electronics applications is emphasized. While device temperature control, thermal energy harvesting, and electrothermal circuit design are the primary focus, some discussion on the extension of thermal guiding (TG) structures to device-scale applications is provided. In total, a holistic view is offered of the myriad of possible applications of thermal metamaterials to heat flow control in future electronics.
Large thermal gradients represent major operational hazards in microprocessors; hence, there is a critical need to monitor possible hot spots both accurately and in real time. Thermal monitoring in microprocessors is typically performed using temperature sensors embedded in the electronic board. The location of the temperature sensors is primarily determined by the sensor space claim rather than the ideal location for thermal management. This paper presents an optimization methodology to determine the most beneficial locations for the temperature sensors inside of the microprocessors, based on input from high-resolution surface infrared thermography combined with inverse heat transfer solvers to predict hot spot locations. Specifically, the infrared image is used to obtain the temperature map over the processor surface, and subsequently delivers the input to a three-dimensional (3D) inverse heat conduction methodology, used to determine the temperature field within the processor. In this paper, simulated thermal maps are utilized to assess the accuracy of this method. The inverse methodology is based on a function specification method combined with a sequential regularization in order to increase accuracy in the results. Together with the number of sensors, the temperature field within the processor is then used to determine the optimal location of the temperature sensors using a genetic algorithm optimization combined with a Kriging interpolation. This combination of methodologies was validated against the finite element analysis of a chip incorporating heaters and temperature sensors. An uncertainty analysis of the inverse methodology and the Kriging interpolation was performed separately to assess the reliability of the procedure.
Predominant high melting point solders for high-temperature and harsh environment electronics (operating temperatures from 200 to 250 °C) are Pb-based systems, which are being subjected to RoHS regulations because of their toxic nature. In this study, high bismuth (Bi) alloy compositions with Bi-XSb-10Cu (X from 10 wt % to 20 wt %) were designed and developed to evaluate their potential as high-temperature, Pb-free replacements. Reflow processes were developed to make die-attach samples made from the cast Bi alloys. Die-attach joints made from Bi-15Sb-10Cu alloy exhibited an average shear strength of 24 MPa, which is comparable to that of commercially available high Pb solders. These alloy compositions also retained original shear strength even after thermal shock (TS) between −55 °C and +200 °C and high-temperature storage (HTS) at 200 °C. Brittle interfacial fracture sometimes occurred along the interfacial NiSb layer formed between Bi(Sb) matrix and Ni metallized surface. In addition, heat dissipation capabilities, using flash diffusivity, were measured on the die-attach assembly and were compared to the corresponding bulk alloys. The thermal conductivity of all the Bi–Sb alloys was higher than that of pure Bi. By creating high volume fraction of precipitates in a die-attach joint microstructure, it was feasible to further increase thermal conductivity of this joint to 24 W/m·K, which is three times higher than that of pure Bi (8 W/m·K). Bi–15Sb–10Cu alloy has so far shown the most promising performance as a die-attach material for high-temperature applications (operated over 200 °C). Hence, this alloy was further studied to evaluate its potential for plastic deformation. Bi–15Sb–10Cu alloy has shown limited plastic deformation in room temperature tensile testing in which premature fracture occurred via the cracks propagated on the (111) cleavage planes of rhombohedral crystal structure of the Bi(Sb) matrix. The same alloy has, however, shown up to 7% plastic strain under tension when tested at 175 °C. The cleavage planes, which became oriented at smaller angles to the tensile stress, contributed to improved plasticity in the high-temperature test.
In raised floor data centers, tiles with high open area ratio or complex understructure are used to fulfill the demand of today's high-density computing. Using more open tiles reduces the pressure drop across the raised floor with the potential advantages of increased airflow and lower noise. However, it introduces the disadvantage of increased nonuniformity of airflow distribution. In addition, there are various tile designs available on the market with different opening shapes or understructures. Furthermore, a physical separation of cold and hot aisles (containment) has been introduced to minimize the mixing of cold and hot air. In this study, three types of floor tiles with different open area, opening geometry, and understructure are considered. Experimentally validated detail models of tiles were implemented in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to address the impact of tile design on the cooling of information technology (IT) equipment in both open and enclosed aisle configurations. Also, impacts of under-cabinet leakage on the IT equipment inlet temperature in the provisioned and under-provisioned scenarios are studied. In addition, a predictive equation for the critical under-provisioning point that can lead to a no-flow condition in IT equipment with weaker airflow systems is presented. Finally, the impact of tile design on thermal performance in a partially enclosed aisle with entrance doors is studied and discussed.
The notion of permeability is very important in understanding and modeling the flow behavior of fluids in a special type of porous medium (i.e., the underfill flow in flip-chip packaging). This paper presents a new concept regarding permeability in a porous medium, namely two types of permeability: superficial permeability (with consideration of both the pore cross-sectional area and the solid matrix cross-sectional area) and pore permeability (with consideration of the pore cross-sectional area only). Subsequently, the paper proposes an analytical model (i.e., equation) for the pore permeability and superficial permeability of an underfill porous medium in a flip-chip packaging, respectively. The proposed model along with several similar models in literature is compared with a reliable numerical model developed with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique, and the result of the comparison shows that the proposed model for permeability is the most accurate one among all the analytical models in literature. The main contributions of the paper are as follows: (1) the provision of a more accurate analytical model for the permeability of an underfill porous medium in flip-chip packaging, (2) the finding of two types of permeability depending on how the cross-sectional area is taken, and (3) the correction of an error in the others' model in literature.
Due to low cost and good electrical performance, wafer-level chip scale packaging (WLCSP) has gained more attention in both industry and academia. However, because the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatches between silicon and organic printed circuit board (PCB), WLCSP technology still faces reliability challenges, such as the solder joint fragile life issue. In this paper, a new WLCSP design (WLCSP-PN) is proposed, based on the structure of WLCSP with Cu posts (WLCSP-P), to release the stress on the solder joints. In the new design, there is a space between the Cu post and the polymer which permits NiSn coating on the post sidewall. The overcoating enhances the solder–post interface where cracks were initiated and enlarges the intermetallic compounds (IMC) joint area to enhance the adhesion strength. Design of experiment (DOE) with the Taguchi method is adopted to obtain the sensitivity information of design parameters of the new design by the three-dimensional (3D) finite element model (FEM), leading to the optimized configuration. The finite element analysis results demonstrate that compared to WLCSP-P, the proposed WLCSP-PN reduces the package displacement, equivalent stress, and plastic strain energy density and thus improves the fatigue life of solder joints.
The ripening growth kinetics of interfacial Cu6Sn5 grains between Cu substrates and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu-xTiO2 (x = 0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.6 wt %) (SAC305-xTiO2) solders were investigated. The results show that the Cu6Sn5 grain morphology is affected by the solder composition and the reflow time. The Cu6Sn5 grain size decreases upon addition of TiO2 and shows a significant decrease when the TiO2 nanoparticle fraction is increased to 0.1 wt %. At higher TiO2 nanoparticle fractions, the Cu6Sn5 grain size increases slightly. The growth of the Cu6Sn5 grains is mainly supplied by the flux of the interfacial reaction and the flux of ripening; the ripening flux plays a dominant role because it is approximately one order of magnitude greater than the interfacial reaction flux. The ripening growth of the Cu6Sn5 grains in the TiO2-containing solder joints is reduced more effectively than that of the Cu6Sn5 grains in the TiO2-free joint. For the SAC305/Cu and SAC305-0.6TiO2/Cu solder joints, the particle size distribution (PSD) of the Cu6Sn5 grains is well fit with the Marqusee and Ross (MR) model when the normalized size value of r/<r> is less than 1, and it is consistent with the flux-driven ripening (FDR) model when the value of r/<r> is greater than 1. On the other hand, for the SAC305-0.1TiO2/Cu solder joint, the Cu6Sn5 grains with a nearly hemispheric scallop shape and the PSD of the Cu6Sn5 grains show good agreement with the FDR model.

This week we looked at how controlled disruption is a very good thing. Everyone was on board with change and how it is important to have disruption, we learn and grow from it. We just need to be able to control it and help others to learn from it as well as have them on board with the change. I loved that Theresa included Fullan's Change Model. It is such a great representation of what is needed to facilitate change. Cherie and Ali, who hosted our tweet session this week really made us have to think about this process and what we need to do to create an environment of supportive members who will accept the disturbances and grow from the change. While Tyler reminded us to jump in and be the leaders at our own schools and be the ones to push forward the change. If no one else does it then it will never happen. Way to go Tyler, that Science Fair sounded like it was a huge success.
Then with my mentee, I was able to end on a high note. I sat with her on Thursday and we went through the evaluation survey. She was very impressed with our project and was excited to continue it after Thanksgiving break. I will be assisting with this, as well. The kids were so excited that their parents were asking for information to log on at home. The plan is to write a brief letter home explaining the process and providing the site, id, and password for each student so they may continue their work at home on Storybird. These kids are greatly enjoying creating their own stories, having parents assist at home will continue that support and only expand their excitement in writing.

What do fruit, coffee and belly button fluff have in common? They have all been used to create the divinely refreshing beverage Aussies are notorious for cracking open on a hot day.
The boys behind St Kilda's superbly unpretentious Local Taphouse have migrated north, and once again, they have created a place you can have a beer, and taste it too. Stomping Ground Brewery is the latest from Steve Jeffares, Guy Greenstone and Justin Joiner. These guys love beer just a little more than average, and luckily, they brew a damn fine one too.
"We just want to introduce people to how fun it is to try loads of different beers. Breweries aren't limited like wines, with the technologies for brewing that are currently available and are being developed, you're only limited by your imagination,"
From day one the brewery was a hit, surpassing what was forecast in the first two weeks. Struggling to keep up with the demand for their unique produce, Steve says it did take a little time to find their feet. "It took us about twelve weeks or so, most people had a great time but there were certainly times where we didn't meet our own standards, we've figured it out now," he says.
Stepping inside Stomping Ground, expect to be a little dazed, it's a bloody big space that echoes the mantra of its owners. A massive open beer garden takes up half the restaurant with more of the roof about to be peeled off. The place was designed so there is always something to see, with every customer getting a view of the beer brewing on one side and the looming pizza oven and open kitchen on the other- just in case the menu didn't look mouth-watering enough. Smack bang in the middle of it all is the bar, with 36 different beers on tap, every single one made ten metres away.
"Every beer is brewed here and it's pretty cool to see people stepping outside their comfort zone. The way the menu is presented on the screen and on paper is to help people navigate through" Steve says.
Every one of these beers is different, and Steve is confident there is something for everyone. The Gipps St pale ale got its name from the street it was brewed on and is one of the most popular beers on tap listed as an easy drinking beer alongside the Bearbrass stout- its name hailing from Melbourne's original title- a good starting point for anyone after a dark beer. For those after a little adventure in their brew the Choc Block is a boozy beer brewed with cacao milk for the chocolatey flavour.
Trying new things can be hard, and the boys get that, especially when you've happily ordered a Little Creatures Pale Ale as long as you can remember. But don't worry, because they have thought of everything. Just ask one of the Cicerone Certified Beer servers (yes, that is a beer sommelier) for a little taste and it's on the house, they make it even easier by grading the beers in how easy to drink they are, as well as having a bar stocked full of qualified staff who can point you in the direction of what could be your new favourite drink.
"We invest heavily in training… It's important to us, it provides a really great grounding for staff, and a consistency of knowledge, and the impact is very noticeable when staff are communicating with customers about beer."
It's only been a few months but these guys are ambitious, already their beer is available for takeaway at Stomping Ground and on tap at 50 bars around the city with a lot more in the works.
New venues around their home base of Melbourne are on the cards, although when and where is yet to be determined. One thing we can count on with these guys is it may become a home away from home.
"It'll all be underpinned by our hospitality offering because it's what we love most. We think we have a higher purpose, to not just give people the beer but to tell them about it."

Like many Linux distributions, openSUSE does not come out of the box with proprietary formats for legal reasons. Installing them is easy enough, however.
First, visit opensuse-community.org and install either the KDE or Gnome codecs. I use Xfce, so I choose the Gnome codecs.
Among other things, doing so will add the Pacman repository to your system. On one system I had previously added Pacman and after I had added the Gnome codecs I found myself with Pacman listed twice in my repository list. I deleted the previous instance and all was well.
Next, open the Software Management component of YaST. In the Repositories tab, select "Packman Repository". Near the top of the window you will see an option to switch system packages to the Packman repository; do so. You will be prompted to download Packman's versions of quite a few packages; do so. And with that you are done.
As a possibly easier alternative, Fluendo provides reasonably priced licensed codecs.
These notes refer to openSUSE 42.2 and 42.3, and were last reviewed 24 September 2017.

Corporate Blog Optimization: Learn the Tips and Tricks!
- Sep 10, 2014
- Sayantani Das
Are you willing to start your corporate blog? Yes, it is a good way to communicate with your clients, build your brand as well as generate sales. You are getting an increasing number of traffic for your blog but that doesn't mean your blog is successful. Thinking why? The reason is simple. Without brand building and revenue generation, your corporate blog will fall flat. Here are a few ways to optimize it and let it thrive in the web world.
Blog Relevant Posts Only
Post relevant and specific content on your business blog. If you wish to target the marketers who work at ecommerce firms, you cannot just write about e-commerce marketing as a whole. Rather, you have to be specific. Suppose you sell software or tools that allow the marketers to analyze the traffic data, then you should only write posts that allow the marketing professionals at ecommerce companies analyze the data in a flawless manner. Know the steps to identify blog post ideas that help you to get connected to your audience. For ideas, you can also collect the posts that are shared by your competitors on popular social networking sites.
Do Not Always Publish the Best Content on Your Website
Feeling depressed since you are unable to get few thousand visitors to your blog every month? Even if you write an amazing content, only a few people will read and share it on social networking sites. How about posting your best content on another top priority blog? Think it in this way. Blogs such as Forbes, Mashable, The Huffington Post, and others help to bring almost a thousand times more traffic to your blog. If you are successful in your article on those sites, then there's nothing like it. Indeed guest-posting has become an integral part of marketing, especially content marketing. You may drive in relevant traffic to your site, generate more leads, and also get more readers for your blog by doing this.
Recommended Reading: Create content that gets shared and generates ROI
Train All Your Readers to Make the Purchase
You should not ask people to make purchase without building rapport with them. Instead, you should make use of micro commitment to convert your visitors into buyers. Convince your readers to buy. Don't think that all your readers will be converted into your clients easily. You have to remember one thing: do not make your blog content paid. Below are a few instances of micro-commitments that force them to take action and receive benefits.
- Instead of offering free e-books to people, request them to provide their emails to read e-books.
- Do not email free e-books to your users. Send your link via email. In this way you can teach them to 'click' and get a benefit. It may make it simpler for you to click on the 'buy' button sometime later.
- Request all your readers to share content from time to time. A smart and small message at the end of the blog post, asking them to tweet all your content, may teach all your readers diverse ways to reciprocate.
You should Always become Consistent
Most bloggers make the mistake of stopping their posts when the blog traffic stagnates. The reverse is equally true. It takes loads of time as well as energy to get your blog to where it is and do not become foolish. The trick of the trade is to become consistent and be convinced that all your traffic may increase. Do not keep a schedule for consistent blogging.
Develop a Connection with Your Readers
Motivating engagement becomes a big way to improve your revenues. And the nice way to encourage engagement is to reply to the comments. Generally, it is seen that only a few writers take out time and respond to the comments regularly. On the contrary, the writers who give reply to the comments get a group of regular visitors to their blogs. Silent blog is quite depressing, while an active blog seems to be quite exciting. Once people start sharing tips, arguing points and having conversation, you feel that your blogging existence is finally validated.
Leverage Social Media
Are you not getting traffic for your blog at all? If that's the problem you are facing, then you cannot expect to generate revenues from your blog. Search traffic may take time to increase and more people may also link to your website. But can't you wait for your corporate blog to gain popularity organically?
Make use of social media to popularize your corporate blog. Be it Twitter or Facebook, a social networking site is the quickest way to generate traffic for your blog. Simply Tweeting as well as sharing from own profile is not enough. After a certain point of time, you also need to ask your friends, colleagues, or acquaintances to share your content as well.
Each time you release a blog post, you will notice a consistent stream of traffic. If you wish you can also buy Facebook advertisements. If you are unable to grow traffic in an organic way, spending money to acquire eyeballs is certainly not a bad thing. Just by spending a few dollars on each blog post, you are able to increase the total number of likes for each post from 5 to 500. You will get likes from real viewers who may be converted into clients. According to the Google Analytics, this strategy actually helps to get over 6,000 new visitors per month. The role of Facebook advertisements in increasing traffic and marketing the blog is undeniable.
Monetize Your Blog
Few corporate bloggers complain that they cannot capture leads unless and until their blogs hit a few thousands visitors. Poor conversation is the main reason for it. And the reason for poor conversion is that traffic they were driving in was not relevant to the product. Monetize your blog. And you must start the process even before you the traffic generation begins. By monetizing you can sense where your blog stands and how qualified your traffic is.
Corporate blogging is no rocket science. If you follow a few rules and take decisions based on the data, you may observe a huge increase in traffic. Most importantly, this traffic increases your chances of getting new client whom you can acquire by converting the leads.

Tosa Province
Tosa, located in the Southwestern quarter of Shikoku, was once known as a land of researchers and scholars, a city of learning sponsored and governed by the Chosokabe. In recent history, the clan seemingly vanished for several decades, cutting off all contact with the outside. When the Chosokabe reappeared, it was as a conquering army intent on taking over Shikoku and the lands beyond.
It is unclear what happened in Tosa province, and none who have entered the province in search of answers have returned. From a distance, however, it appears as though some kind of massive cataclysm has wracked the land. The earth is parched and bleached almost white, with jagged, cyclopean shards of black masonry jutting from it at odd angles. In the sky above the capital, it is as though a huge hole has been ripped in the sky, leading to a black void above. Below this, more shards of obsidian, fragments of rock, and even entire roads and buildings float in the air as though suspended without gravity.
As a result of its scholarly history, the capital city of Tosa, Nankoku, is not strictly a castle town, and is not well fortified. In the past, it would be an easy target for an invading army, but this may no longer be the case.
Capital: Nankoku

After two tough losses last week, New Bern soccer coach Tim Guter simply wanted his team to compete.
For nearly 80 minutes, the Bears did just that.
After two tough losses last week, New Bern soccer coach Tim Guter simply wanted his team to compete.
For nearly 80 minutes, the Bears did just that.
New Bern suffered a 4-2 victory to Wilmington Laney in a Mideastern Conference match on Tuesday at Caruso-Coates Stadium.
�We competed. We just made a few too many defensive mistakes,� Guter said. �We put them on their heels and scored early. With the talent pool that we have, we can�t keep making mental mistakes, especially around our goal.�
New Bern (3-9-0, 0-3-0 Mideastern) got off to a strong start against Laney when Htoo Soe scored off a cross from Neeko Helbich just three minutes into the match.
Laney (10-1-1, 2-0-1) answered with the equalizer six minutes later on a goal from Max Kraybill. The Buccaneers took a 2-1 advantage following a goal from Ashton Sutton.
The score remained 2-1 at halftime.
�It was great to score in the first few minutes,� Soe said. �In the first 10 minutes, we did really well. I don�t know what happened to the rest of the game.�
New Bern knotted the score at 2-2 as Cody Tyson scored off an assist from Soe seven minutes into the second half.
Carlos Lainez put Laney back on top with a goal in the 55th-minutes, and Brian Pinder tacked on an insurance goal in the 65th-minute.
�I thought we created a good number of opportunities,� Guter said. �Laney is a very good team and their record dictates that. We just need to do a better tightening up.�
New Bern, coming off a 9-0 loss at New Hanover on Thursday, took three shots on goal. Goalkeeper Xander Morales had four saves.
Guter is hoping his team can build on the two-goal output.
�I think it gives us a little bit of confidence, especially after last week�s performances,� he said. �When we score, we have a little bit more of a pep to our step. When we play hard, and don�t score, we let them score a cheap goal and our heads go down.�
New Bern is home for five-straight games, beginning with Thursday�s match against Wilmington Hoggard.
�We know that every game is going to be a battle and we have to get used to it,� Guter said. �The next five games, we don�t have to get on the bus and travel.�

I received my Card Keyper and it is amazing! From the packaging in the cute muslin bag to the punch and ring, it is ingenious. You even thought to include a card with your Etsy address which came in handy this morning at Home Depot. It was the first time I pulled out my Keyper and the cashier went crazy! She wanted one, TODAY! So, since I had your card on my Keyper I wrote down your info. She was so excited and asked,"What woman doesn't need one of those?"

Israel punishes Palestinian hunger strikers by removing rights• http://rt.com
Israeli authorities are trying new methods to end hunger strikes among Palestinian prisoners. The measures include canceling prisoners' rights to family visits and confiscating of their possessions.
"Privileges such as family visits have been revoked and items such as electronics have been confiscated," Sivan Weizman, a spokesperson for the Israeli Prisons Authority said Monday as quoted by Reuters.
Amani Sarahna of the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, an advocacy group for Palestinians jailed in Israel, says prison authorities conducted extensive searches of the hunger strikers' jail cells. "All the prisoners' belongings were confiscated except their towels and their shoes," Saranha explained. She says even salt was taken away from the prisoners – the only calorie-free nutrient they ingest.

Clutch Gaming: One of the Most Exciting Teams on the Rift.
recommended you read As with all great things in life, I went into LCS this year skeptical. For one, save for the Astros' astonishing win at the world series, the Energy City's never been exactly notable for it's sports team's prowess (I say reluctantly as the teams move closer to victories at new heights in, but not limited to, Basketball, Baseball and –much to my amusement- E-sports). But it seems surreal that a team founded within 6 months of today is making such remarkable steps against teams that have been considered staples in the league, notably Team Solo Mid.
buy Lyrica online overnight What makes 2018 a new leaf ? Why are the times are changing ? In E-sports (Where I pay the most attention) it's not just one single thing. If for no other reason than because games require a large amount of effort and attention to detail that franchises can help provide, and upon rectifying those issues,work to improve as a team. Of course, that's a given – but it really shows how much the team cares about one another's positioning and relative space between each other. Not only on the rift are they close, but the team recently went to visit the Rockets during a practice session and the sense of belonging is extremely apparent. Since these photos were taken, the team is on a two-game win streak coming out of week 7. Coincidence ? Probably, but it's more fun to believe otherwise.
In CG's case, it's wonderful to watch that unfold in (nearly) real time. LirA's presence seems nearly infallible, which is a god-given talent in the early game as a way to help, most notably in week 6, top laner Solo get first blood against CLG Darshan on Day 1 of Week 6. But in a good jungler is the ability to know your own (As well as your enemies' ) limits and act on them. Against FlyQuest in week 7, Hakuho, LirA and Apollo rush a 3 Vs. 4 in a successful attempt to steal Elder Dragon. As Spring Split comes to an end and summer approaches, I'm hopeful enough to feel safe for an MSI performance.
Apollo and Hakuho are nearly there, but watching their bot lane feels very slow-paced and responsible when looking at the mid or even top. In fairness, playing safe as a glass cannon is likely the best scenario in a high-stakes situation such as Spring Split. But with TL DoubleLift and C9 Sneaky making the flash-y plays, and making them successful, you have to wonder if maybe they should be taking a page out of LirA's book and play on instincts. The team is currently 9-5 so, however you look at it, the team is doing consistently. Most importantly, though, the team's looking good for this upcoming week.
Going into week 8 is gut-wrenching, to say the least. On one hand, again, the team is going smoothly into it. On the other, the other team is Echo Fox (Day 1 Week 7, currently 11-3) who are regarded as the best the league. A fair title, and one we have no right to refute. In the only game CG played against them, they lost. Maybe, just maybe, Clutch gaming is trying to live up to their name, though.
Although that's something I don't think my nerves could handle.

How To Organize Your Shed This Spring
Winters last gasp has homeowners thoughts turning to spring, a season of renewal. That also means that traffic at garden centers will boom as customers shop for flowers, grass seed, fertilizer, new mowers, top soil, and much more.
All that stuff has to be stored somewhere and the logical place is in the shed. Just the same, the shed may not have the room required to hold all your new items, making the next few weeks an ideal time to organize your shed as spring takes hold.
1. Clear it out. Take everything out of the shed except for the flooring. You cant begin to get it organized until you assess what you have and what you will keep.
2. Get rid of it. Review everything that you have on hand including your newly purchased items. Top soil can stay out of the shed as can any planters that will soon hold soil and plants this spring. That old lawn mower is only taking up room. Along with anything else that you wont be using in the year ahead those items should be tossed, donated or sold.
3. Put up shelves. If your shed is suitable for hanging up shelves, then do so. Shelves can be attached to peg boards or straddle pillars. Use the shelving to hold smaller items that are taking up room such as lawn tools, roping, and small pots.
4. Use containers. For items too big to sit on the shelf and too small to take up floor space, use plastic containers to hold them. Open containers can hold a hoe, rake, and other garden utensils. A closed container can store fertilizer, grass seed, and other materials that you do not want to expose to the outdoors. Stackable containers can be a space saver too.
5. Put up peg board. If you dont have walls, peg board is a good substitute. A peg board can hold up hand tools, power tools, rakes, and shovels with mounting hooks or spring-loaded clamps holding these items in place. Just hang everything high enough so that your tools are not exposed to the floor.
6. Make use of roping. For sheds with a tall peak, you have dead space that can be utilized. String a rope from front to back or from side to side. Use it to hold empty hanging plant containers when the season changes. For a particularly sturdy shed, a rope pulley can be useful for lifting a bicycle or light equipment up and out of the way.
Getting your shed organized takes discipline both to get the job done and to decide what should stay and what should go. And if your shed just doesnt have the room for everything that you need, a new shed or a second garden shed may be required.Click Here For More Information

GF Sign Code
Doug Barrett | Sep 15, 2017 AT 8:20 am
Click to Enlarge
The Grand Forks Planning and Zoning Commission may take another look at the city's sign codes. Over the years the city has tinkered with regulations and restrictions on height…size…and brightness for business signs based on location and zoning designations. City Attorney Howard Swanson says it's not "inappropriate" to adopt sign regulations for residential areas - but there is a reason to move cautiously. Swanson says sign codes are a top headache for city attorneys' because of the uncertain landscape created by the courts.
P-and-Z member Frank Matejcek says the city has been wrestling with sign codes for over 40 years.

The ministry focus of our church is on the family. We define the family two-fold:
Family Unit
The family unit are those who we are related to and/or are a part of the household. We desire to influence families to be fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. We encourage adults to fulfill their God given role as spouces and parents. We encourage fathers to be the spiritual leader of the home, while working with their wives as a married team. We encourage children to follow their parents directions as their parents train them up in the ways of the Lord.
All the ministries within our church seeks to be inclusive of the family unit. We recognize that single and seniors are a part of the family unit. We include singles and seniors as a part of the family unit.
The Family of God
As Christians we are all a part of the family of God. Therefore, we seek to disciple each person in our church, no matter what life phase they are in. As a church we are a family who cares for each person. When one member hurts, we all hurt. When one member rejoices, we all rejoice.
