Foča: The Bosniak
One of the most interesting books about Bosnia published in the 1990s was called The Bosniak. It is series of interviews or rather discussions between Adil Zulfikarpašić and Milovan Djilas. Zulfikarpašić came from a wealthy, aristocratic Muslim family from Foča. He turned to communism, became a Partisan during the war but then left for exile in Switzerland where he prospered in business. There he fostered ideas of Bosniak – as opposed to simply Bosnian Muslim identity – and when he returned in 1990 he was to become as Robert Donia has called him a "founding father" of Bosniak nationalism. Milovan Djilas was a towering figure of Yugoslav communism. A Montenegrin, he played a key role during the Second World War and in the early post-war years until he fell out with Tito and became the country's best-known dissident. In this extract Zulfikarpašić talks about his hometown of Foča.
In Foča… the Muslims and Serbs did not live together until the arrival of the Austria-Hungary. There was a mahala called Čerezluk where the Orthodox inhabitants lived. They had their own stores in the city too, but they lived, in Čerzluk-mahala and in the Varoš district where there was an Orthodox church. The Muslim population lived exclusively in the centre. When Austria-Hungary arrived, and after the formation of Yugoslavia, many Serb families moved to the city centre. I had a neighbour called Niković who had moved from Montenegro, and another called Hadživuković who lived with us in an atmosphere of mutual consideration and harmony. They didn't raise pigs out of regard for us. I don't remember a single Serb family in Foča raising pigs. So there was respect but... a lack of real knowledge. My family was not closely acquainted with Orthodox customs and the Serbs didn't know anything about ours. Each was ignorant of even the basic tenets of the other's religion, of the preoccupations peculiar to each ethnic group. I made up for that later in life, and only then realized what a mistake it had been.
The Bosniak: Adil Zulfikarpašić in dialogue with Milovan Djilas and Nadežda Gaće. Milovan Djilas & Nadežda Gaće. 1998.
[p. 50 / Hurst]
Please read an article by Robert Donia called: Archives and Cultural Memory under Fire: Destruction and the Post-war Nationalist Transformation in which he discusses the role of Adil Zulfikarpašić and his Bosniak Institute.

|"Shall We Dansu?"
|A timid Japanese businessman (Yakusyo) is lured to ballroom dancing when he glimpses a beautiful, sad-eyed teacher (Kusakari) through a window. As much commentary on controlled Japanese society as a spirited discovery of learning to live and dance. Well-drawn, quirky characters and good humor amid the observant social commentary should put this one at the top of the anyone's foreign film dance card. In Japanese with subtitles.

Finding a dog training professional who is experienced, reputable and offers recognized and proven training solutions is a pressing concern for many dog owners. Not only do pet owners want their dogs to receive high quality training but to be well cared for throughout the duration of the training sessions.
Petsitting.com is aware of all of the factors and concerns which pet owners experience when seeking out a dog training company to help them train their pet. In addition to offering access to a high quality network of top-notch dog training professionals, Petsitting.com also offers useful, relevant insight into what dog training is all about. We also provide consumers with important characteristics and features that should be considered when finding and evaluating a new dog trainer.
The exact training method which a dog training professional uses to train your dog will depend on the trainer and type of courses and programs offered. However, many dog trainers use methods involving tone of voice, hand signals and repetition to train your faithful companion. Before hiring a dog training professional, you should always ask about the courses that they teach and the methods that they employ to train your dog.
Dog training course costs, along with dog training methods, will vary depending on the dog trainer's experience, location and the duration of the program. The prices will fluctuate depending on if you want your dog to participate in a group training course over a span of time or if you're seeking one-on-one support from a trainer. The range is too wide for us to provide accurate figures, so your best bet is to fill out our form and have one of our training professionals contact you about rates & programs in your local area.
When searching around for dog training professionals, you should seek out a few different specific features in your desired dog trainer, based on which ones are important to you. You should choose a dog training company which offers various dog training courses, has reliable staff with good communication skills and is willing to answer any and all questions that you may have. Most importantly, you want your dog to come out of training with newly acquired skills. Ask for references and don't be afraid to call a few to find out their experiences with the specific trainer or dog training school.
Now that you have a general overview of what a dog training professional does, and how they can help you with your dog training needs, it is the ideal time to get started training your dog. By filling out the form to the left you will receive access to one to two quality dog training professionals in your local area that can help you with your entire dog training course needs. Once you have completed the short form, a dog training professional will contact you with all the information needed to make an educated decision. Please note that there is absolutely no cost to use this service – fill out the form in less than 5 minutes.

We will provide you with 1-2 different dog training professionals in your local area to choose from.

When requesting information from dog training professionals, it is a good idea to ask about their specific dog training methods. Certain dog training professionals will offer basic dog training services, whereas others will delve into specialty areas of dog training methods. By asking the dog training professional about their teaching methods and standard practices and processes, you can be sure that you choose the right pet service provider to meet your needs.
You should also inquire with the dog training company or professional as to their expertise in the area of dog training. It is important to select a dog training professional with experience in the field. Experience does not necessarily equate with years in the business but you can gain a glimpse into their knowledge and know how by asking how long they have been working with dogs. Ask them for references and any marketing material they may have about their organization, such as websites, brochures and pamphlets, which will prove quite helpful.
In order to find the best dog training professional, you should select one who stands out from the rest. Find a dog trainer who has something special to offer to you and your pet and whose reputation precedes them. Be sure and take your dog to meet the trainer, to get a feel of the interaction between the two who will be working directly together.

If you are a dog owner and are interested in obtaining dog training services for your beloved pet, then you have certainly come to the right place. Petsitting.com is your one-stop website for obtaining a variety of pet care services. We have an elite network of dog training professionals within your local area. Petsitting.com has done the work for you and compiled a superior list of dog training companies and professionals who are here to answer your call for dog training instruction and classes. Before you choose a dog training professional, here are some things which your dog can and should learn from a dog training professional.
One of the main things which dog trainers will teach your lovable companion is simple dog training commands. Three of the main commands which are taught very early on include "sit", "stay" and "come". These simple commands are ones which you can work on reinforcing with your pet at home, in between training sessions. These commands are essential for all dogs to learn early in life in order to avoid communication problems later on. For instance, the command 'stay' can save a dog's life if they ever accidently get off their leash in crowded areas or near a busy roadway. Another example is with the most popular command associated with dogs – 'Sit.' You want to ensure your dog is properly trained on this command to avoid danger around young children or guests that may frequent your home. Most dogs are not vicious in nature but the mere impact of a dog getting overexcited with a small child or guest can be very dangerous. The basic training skills are essential to the wellbeing of your dog and the people who care for him/her.
Dog training professionals, including the established dog training companies within our network, will also work on proper behavior techniques with your dog. Teaching your dog not to bark in inappropriate situations and to refrain from biting people and objects are proper behavior skills which dog trainers often work on with your pet. They will also teach your furry friend not to jump up when greeting people or other dogs, as well as teaching them to not chase after individuals, dogs and other animals. This will help make sure your pet is safe and secure in a variety of external environments.
Most dog training professionals will also offer services to tackle any trouble areas which your dog may have in the area of obedience. If there are one or more specific areas in which your dog needs extra help, the dog training professional can and will pay extra special attention to that issue and do his or her best to try and resolve any trouble areas which your pet may currently experience.
Having a trained, obedient dog is essential for pet owners. You, of course, want your pet to be lovable and playful, yet know how to stay within certain desired behavior modes at all times. If you are now ready to obtain a dog training professional for your pet, simply fill out the form on your left-hand side, and you will soon receive between one and two options of reputable dog trainers in your area for your review and consideration.

We have spoken before about the horrifying possibility that your cat (or your 50 cats, depending on how seriously you're taking your cat lady duties) has infected your brain with a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. Previous research has shown that T. gondii, which is transmitted via cat feces, is linked to schizophrenia and other behavior problems, and now a new study has found that women infected with it are more likely to kill themselves. The research looked at more than 45,000 Danish women and found that those with T. gondii were 1.5 times more likely to attempt suicide than women who didn't have the parasite. That is a very sad fact, indeed—especially since it's estimated that a third of the world's population has it.
Fortunately, it's not necessarily the cats themselves that can be blamed, since it's possible to get toxoplasmosis from any number of other sources like undercooked meat and contaminated vegetables. (Cook that meat! Clean those kitchens!) There's also not definitive proof that it's the parasites that are themselves causing the suicides. The study's lead author, Dr. Teodor Postolache, concludes,
We can't say with certainty that T. gondii caused the women to try to kill themselves, but we did find a predictive association between the infection and suicide attempts later in life that warrants additional studies.
The absolute risk of suicide is still quite small. Over the 30-year long study, fewer than 1,000 of the participants attempted to harm themselves, and only seven women actually killed themselves. While having T. gondii may have its negative effects, Postolache is quick to reassure us that we need not get rid of our cats because of the risk of getting it. And that's good news, since taking cats away from cat ladies (and anyone, really) is bound to be just as devastating—if not more so—to one's mental health than any mind-controlling parasite.

"Britney's back!" …
that's what entertainment writers are saying about Ms. Spears. They are referring to the revival of her career, evidenced in her new role as an X Factor judge and her video/ad 'Till The World Ends (Twister Remix). Others are raving about B's new bikini bod. While that's all well and good, we say "Britney's back" because of her hair and style. In the past she has made bad choices like going bald and letting her extensions fall out. So far her new 'dos have been pretty good.
As usual, Brit doesn't stick with one style—she prefers to mix it up. Her Facebook profile photo (at top of post) is sleek, platinum blond and falls just below the shoulders. At X Factor auditions (above), she's flaunting loose curls and a slightly off-center part (but that day her hair didn't get as much attention as her cleavage).
Just days ago, the pop princess debuted multicolored dip-dye ends that are everywhere these days with celebs and real women alike. The teal, blue and hot pink tips came out at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas last weekend. Inspired by My Little Pony (and X Factor co-judge Demi Lovato?), her mane stayed streaked on Monday. With all of Simon Cowell's dislike for Ms. Spears' wardrobe, we're wondering if he'll ban the dip-dye. (But how can he nix Brit's color scheme without banning Demi's?)
During promos for X-Factor, the bombshell blonde was simply lovely in the straight but full, unlayered locks that she often favors. Also in the pre-season promos, one of her Celebrity Hairstyles was spiral curled for a modern update on crimpy curls. To copy her loose curls, use a waving or curling iron. To keep that soft, sexy look, don't brush out the curls; just finger them gently into place and spritz on a strong-hold hair spray.
As for the bleached blond color, don't even think about doing it yourself! Go to a salon and have it done by a professional colorist. The experts at celebrityhaircolorguide.com explain the type of techniques your colorist should use. They recommend Organic Color Systems ammonia-free formula in two shades of white for foil highlights then a regrowth color cream at the roots and sporadically through the ends. For styling products, they recommend Cocktailing Hydrate Leave-In, Gloss Serum and Mousse.
In other news, Brit has been having lots of fun showing off her trim and toned figure. In a recent tweet, she included a photo of herself in a bikini with this message: "Y'all ready for summer to end? I'm definitely not!" A photo that she posted on Facebook recently showed the pop princess in a little top and cut-offs. Even though the pop princess has been working out regularly, US Weekly says the photo of her in a white bikini is four years old!
It doesn't matter what the critics say about her body. Who needs a stick-thin figure when she has everything else going for her? It will be interesting to see if the former Disney star is able to recoup her title as top pop princess.

|Country Of origin:

Britisher Ian Levine had a burning desire to create soul music. On one of his first treks to the U.S. he came armed with a production budget for Voltafine Productions, which he partnered with the help of Danny Leake. Levine persuaded his generous father to bankroll the project, the goal of which was to make soul music. The fall of 1975 found Levine in Chicago scouting for talent; with the help of arranger/producer Paul Wilson, the Brit uncovered Barbara Pennington, a woman who shared vocal similarities with another Chicagoan, Chaka Khan. On a previous trip to the States, Levine had produced sessions with the Exciters, who featured Herb Rooney and Brenda Reid (L.A. Reid's mother). To Pennington, this was her big break; she had sung around Chicago for some time but nothing had happened to advance her career -- despite Chicago's large recording industry -- until Levine came along, thus, she jumped at the chance. Voltafine got Pennington's tracks assigned to Island Records and the first 45 single was "Running in Another Direction." To save cash, the B-side was simply an instrumental version of the same song. Soul music was new territory for Island in the mid-'70s, plus they had little experience promoting singles, being more experienced selling albums. Thus, the single, released in England, couldn't be found in record shops, despite the fact that a demand had been created by Voltafine Productions via radio stations and club promotions. The lack of airplay accounted for "Running" selling only 5,000 copies. Still, Voltafine arranged a tour of England for Pennington and Levine's other Chicago discoveries, Evelyn Thomas and L.J. Johnson. Woods' and Johnson's tracks had been placed with 20th Century and Phonogram, respectively, and were selling well in England due to better promotion. Pennington was the small fish among the three, and Island Records didn't exactly greet her with open arms; in fact, they ignored her and offered no tour support nor promotion. In spite of Island, Pennington gave good performances to the sparse crowds. She was a whoop-it-up bump-and-grinder who loved feeding off the audience. Undaunted after the moderately successful tour, Levine scheduled some more releases for Pennington: the stomping "I Can't Keep My Heart Still," the disco-sounding "Twenty-Four Hours a Day," and "You Are the Music Within Me." Once again, Paul Wilson did the arrangement, and Levine and Leake handled production, but this time the orchestra was larger, and the tracks had a fuller sound. Voltafine was now thinking of the States as a market for their product. The tracks were laid in Chicago at the Chicago Recording Company. The whole ordeal fascinated Pennington, who, since meeting Levine, had flown to England, performed in clubs, and was living the life of a recording artist. Fed up with Island's lack of interest, Levine repurchased Pennington's contract and signed her with United Artists Records. United Artists released Pennington's "Twenty-Four Hours," which became a popular disco item in Britain; another United Artists-release, "Spend a Little Time With Me," made some noise too. Switching from United Artists, Pennington released "Out of the Darkest Night," "Way Down Deep in My Soul," and "Don't Stop the World" on Record Shack Records. All received plays in Europe but few, if any, spins in the States. Other singles, "Fan the Flame" and "All American Boy," are well-known to Europeans. The latter is featured on the Gay Classics, Vol. 1 LP released on Wear-It-Out Records. Three of Pennington's albums are: Midnight Rider, Out of the Darkness, and The Best of Barbara Pennington. ~ Andrew Hamilton~ Rovi

New York, NY
June 1, 2018
New York city is the largest city in the United States, with its metropolitan area ranking among the largest urban areas in the world. In 1898 a new charter was adopted, making the surrounding cities into Greater New York, a metropolis that consists of five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island and Queens. With over 8.2 million residents within an area of 304.8 square miles, New York City is the most densely populated major city in the United States.
The Dutch founded Fort Amsterdam in 1625 and it later developed into the town and trading post of New Amsterdam which is the present-day site of Wall Street. The British captured the colony during the Second Anglo-Dutch War and governed it as the Province of New York. After the Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain, it was occupied by the British and became one of their command centers during the war. In 1783 the Treaty of Paris was signed and the last British troops stationed in the Thirteen Colonies departed.
Governor DeWitt Clinton championed the building a canal to connect the Hudson River with Lake Erie – thus all the Great Lakes and the interior. The Erie Canal was finished in 1825 and it opened up vast areas of the Great Lakes and the American Midwest to commerce and settlement. This event enabled New York City to prosper and surpass Philadelphia as the cultural and economic center of the United States.

3rd Grade Science Fair Projects
For their 3rd grade science projects, kids begin investigating the answers to their questions much like actual scientists would. Instead of simply collecting qualitative data (describing what they observe), 3rd graders graduate to collecting and presenting quantitative data by measuring their results with increased accuracy, communicating their findings in simple charts and graphs, and describing their observations in written prose. Education.com's collection of 3rd grade science fair projects give kids the opportunity to apply their newly acquired skills to thinking critically about the world around them while having serious fun in the process. Browse our collection of third grade science projects and experiments by using the boxes to the left to filter by topic and find an exciting science project your child will be sure to love.

Irish singer/songwriter Niall Horan was one-fifth of One Direction, one of the most commercially successful boy bands of all time. As one of the group's more prolific songwriters, he could also play guitar, which helped him kick off a solo career after the group went on hiatus in 2016. Born September 13, 1993 in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland, Horan became interested in music at a young age. After his elder brother failed to play the guitar he had received as a Christmas present, Niall picked it up and taught himself to play by watching instructional YouTube videos. Discove...

It took 16 years, but Switzerland finally surrendered their first World Cup goal with Chilean winger Mark Gonzalez's (above) 75th minute strike as the Swiss fell 1-0 in Port Elizabeth Monday night. The result gave Chile six points after two games in the group -- the first time since hosting the tournament in 1962 that the Chileans have won their first two group matches.
Both teams entered the game coming off 1-0 victories in their 2010 curtain raisers with Chile easily dispatching Honduras in Nelspruit while Switzerland pulled off the shock of the tournament, upsetting Spain last Wednesday in Durban.
The Swiss were going to be hard pressed to keep the Chileans off the score sheet when midfielder Valon Behrami was judged to have thrown an elbow and sent off by Saudi Arabian referee Khalil al Ghamdi in the 31st minute. Having to play nearly an hour down a man, Ottmar Hitzfeld's men were lucky not to go behind sooner, but Swiss goalkeeper Diego Benaglio continued with the performance he gave against Spain, making six saves including a back-to-back effort early in the match.
Chile, who have shown the willingness to attack eventually wore down a tough Swiss defense when Esteban Paredes' cross found Gonzalez at the six yard box, with the South African-born winger heading towards an empty net.

As those 22 kids got out of their vans, my friend Annie and I were there to greet them. Every single one of them hugged us and loved all over us. It was one of the best and most sincere experiences of my life. Just pure joy and love pouring out of their little bodies. They called me "auntie" all afternoon. It makes me smile just thinking about it!
Then the playing began, and boy, did they play! They were so thrilled with everything. And grateful- I must have heard "thank you, auntie" at least a 1000 times. A little play-doh and some balloons and you would have thought that these kids had won the lottery.
While I loved them all, there were a few little boys that I absolutely fell in love with. One little boy's name was Gabriel. He is 9. His two best buddies are John and Phillip. Gabiel held onto my hand almost the entire day. He just smiled constantly. He seemed to be one of the most genuinely happy children I've ever seen. We would just look at each other and bust out in giggles. Gabriel laughs with his whole body. The kind of belly shaking laughter that lights up an entire room. His eyes are so sparkly and trusting. But Gabriel has been through a lot in his 9 years. Gabriel's parents both died when he was very young. He was sent to live with his grandmother. There was not enough room for him in the house, so every night he had to sleep outside on the grass. He didn't even have a blanket. Then, miraculously, he was chosen to participate in the choir. Now Gabriel wants to be a pilot. His buddies, John and Phillip both want to be pastors. At dinner I asked those three boys what was their favorite thing that they had done since they had been in the United States. All three of them said, "This day, auntie! This very day!" I almost cried. My kids paint and do puzzles and have balloons all the time. In no way does that constitute a special day for them. But for our new African friends, it was the best day they had ever had!
I really thought at the end of the night, I might try to smuggle Gabriel, John and Phillip in the back of my van and bring them home. Here are some shots of my best boys:
Aren't they adorable?! All of these kids were just beautiful, inside and out. The little girls worked so hard making beautiful necklaces for themselves. They just beamed with pride at their work and were all smiles as we told them over and over how pretty they were. They loved having their pictures made- especially in their new bling. They thought our cameras were so cool and always wanted to see themselves in the display after we took their pictures.
And when these kids sang and danced, heaven rejoiced! They sang with their whole hearts. Despite the horrors and hardships they have endured they sang to Jesus with pure gratitude and thanksgiving.
Everytime during the day, when I heard "Thank you, auntie," I really wanted to say, "No- thank YOU." Thank you for your endless smiles and laughter. Thank you for helping me feel close to my child out there in Africa that I've never met. Thank you for showing me pure worship, as God intended it to be. Thank you for sharing your lives and your faith with me. Thank you for giving me hope. Thank you for making my heart full.

Um... eek.
This weekend, Los Angeles celebrates its main Gay Pride festival and I plan on being there. This may not seem like a stunning "news flash" to many of you, dear readers, but those who know me well know that I have a phobia of parades and balloons, I will not wait anything over 10 minutes for a table at any restaurant no matter how piquant their comestibles, nor will I eat standing up (and certainly not in a crowd!) and I'm allergic to most forms of fun – all of these are features of such events (or so I'm told).
But here's another fact about me: I've never participated in any Pride activities in any city, any year, ever – and that strikes me as, well… queer. So this is the year I'm remedy it. I'm coming out! (...of my safe and cozy home.)
I need to go buy bottles of water and sun-block with an SPF of pi, but before I do, I wanted to get some mood music from our rich, LGBT heritage (see below). Beats make me braver!
And if you plan on coming to LA's Pride, look for me. I'll undoubtedly be cowering in some dark corner, terrified of everything, but doing it with a rad attitude.

Background. Coach Davis moved to the Washington, DC area from North Carolina where he attended NC State University. He now lives in Falls Church, Virginia with his wife Patricia. They have four children, who all grew up in the Arlington Youth Sports environment: soccer, football, lacrosse, softball and of course, basketball. This has allowed him, over many years, to come to know and befriend many in the Arlington sports community. One of the children is still college age and attending George Mason University. Eric, Rachel, Colin and Stephanie round out the Davis family. John owns and operates a home improvement company in Northern Virginia.
Coaching Experience. Currently, John is the head JV Girls' coach at Bishop O'Connell High School in North Arlington. This is his 5th year coaching at O'Connell. Much of the off season finds John involved in summer leagues, coaching clinics and player development for all levels at DJO. He works very closely with the Varsity program as well.
While away from the AAU scene for 2 years, he previously spent many years there. His experience includes 3 seasons with BRYC boys AAU at the U12, U13 and U14 levels National teams. Prior to BRYC, John coached 3 seasons with the Vogues AAU Girls' program at the U11, U12, and U13 levels. Three seasons were also spent with the Cardinals AAU regional teams at the U11, U12 and U13 levels.
Other coaching experience includes several seasons at the Arlington Travel Boys, Arlington Youth basketball and Saturday morning leagues. Lastly, John coached CYO basketball for St. Thomas More Parish in Arlington, Virginia at all levels for 10 seasons. So you may be looking at one of the ultimate gym rats!
Drew Edmundson, an assistant varsity coach at Bishop O'Connell, will serve as Coach Davis' assistant coach for the Matrix 13U Black team.
Coaching Philosophy. Basketball reflects life! Youth coaches should lead by example; reinforcing hard work, determination, confidence, patience, and enthusiasm. In life, as in basketball, what you accomplish is directly related to what you put in. Speaking as a high school coach, it makes the job at the high school level so much easier if girls come to us with proper fundamentals. Can't stress it too much.

Six Day Technology necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 329 diseños de 73 diseñadores freelance.
Our new company, Six Day Technology, Inc. needs a company logo. We are a new software company that builds custom software for businesses, plus we are working on our own project.
The winner of this contest will have a good chance at winning our project logo contest after this one.
Six Day Technology, Inc.
We are a software company and our target clients are businesses who need custom software.
We are working on a tagline for Six Day Technology. For the design, if you want to include a tagline you can use:
- Six Day Technology: Creative Software SolutionsWe should be able to replace this by editing the vector file. In other words, if you include the tagline it should not be integral to the design.
We are also building a cool website. It is called sixdayweb.com. This will be like blogger, but instead of helping people make blogs, it will allow churches to easily build themselves a church website. We will need a logo for this eventually. We considered including that in this contest, but I think we'll run a different contest after this one closes.
If you win this contest, and enter the next one with a similar design you will have an excellent chance at winning that one as well.
- Vector Files (preferably .ai)
- A simple, unique design
- All or part of the logo should be distinguishable when shrunk to a favicon. e.g. recognizable at 16X16
- Andrew, my business partner, is partial to blues
- I don't care about the colors as long as they look good. I'd like a strong accent color, I guess.
- Stress "Six Day" over "Technology" in the lettering.
- Be sure that the design doesn't make us look like a TV station.
- An overly complicated design
- An ugly design (that's why us programmers are not making it :)

If I wish to have internal 3D object motion and changes happening, such that a surface must be re rendered (like a rippling or changing surface), I would introduce Point and or Normal point data changes. I would then call NormalGenerator (or just replace the Shape3D node in question, since NormalGenerator apparently can get call automatically for you) again.
I understand I can to set the relevant write capabilities and optimize using the .compile() function before replacement to the correct BranchGroup, or perhaps entertain skipping this for drawing speed.
-Will a Transform3D change a surface or 3d shape after rendering, or must one fully re render again with another application of the NormalGenerator?
-If doing multiple changes or re renders at observation (result) speed, will this process slow down if done in sequence on one thread (from the purpose of a sequence of changes to produce movement for an animation)?
-Should each recompute be on its on new Thread or Runnable, such that each and all are simply allocated to run() and all sent to memory at once, as multiple threads, and simply held in sequence and exchanged on the appropriate BranchGroup?
-Would such a slow down be a processing/ hardware throughput concern, or one restricted by memory access, particularly?

Plasticity — the brain's ability to change in response to external input — is critical for most cognitive functions, including learning and memory. Those changes usually involve a strengthening or weakening of synapses, the connections between brain cells (neurons).
MIT neuroscientists have now found that a single protein, known as Arc, appears to control neurons' ability to strengthen and weaken their synapses by regulating the number of neurotransmitter receptors on their surfaces. The finding could help researchers identify new drug targets for Fragile X and Angelman syndromes — inherited forms of mental retardation that have been linked to deficits of Arc.
"The more we understand the chain of cellular events that Arc is involved in, the more we can identify particular targets where we could intervene," says Mriganka Sur, head of MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences (BCS).
Sur and Mark Bear, the Picower Professor of Neuroscience, are senior authors of a paper on the work that appeared in the March 14 online edition of Nature Neuroscience.
A surprising discovery
Jason Shepherd, co-lead author of the paper and a postdoctoral associate in Bear's lab, began studying Arc as a grad student at Johns Hopkins University. He and his colleagues showed that Arc weakens synapses by removing receptors for glutamate, a neurotransmitter that stimulates neuron activity, from neuron cell membranes. They also discovered that when the Arc gene is turned off in mice, they lose their ability to form long-term memories.
In the new study, Shepherd and co-lead author Cortina McCurry, a recent PhD recipient in BCS, did a series of experiments designed to pinpoint the role of Arc in the visual cortex of mice. They started with a classic experimental setup that involves sealing one eye for two days, depriving the eye of visual input. In normal mice, this strengthens synapses in the part of the cortex receiving input from the open eye, and weakens them in cortical cells wired to the closed eye.
Shepherd and McCurry performed their experiments on mice with a mutation in the Arc gene that renders the protein ineffective. Because of Arc's known role in weakening synapses, they expected mice without Arc not to show any synaptic weakening from the closed eye. That prediction came true, but to the researchers' surprise, they found that the synaptic strengthening normally seen from the open eye also disappeared.
"If you knock out the gene, you don't get either response," says Shepherd. "The brain is not responsive at all to the changes in sensory input."
They observed the same lack of plasticity in studies of Arc-deficient mice that were repeatedly exposed to the same visual stimulus (for example, a horizontal bar), which normally provokes neurons to enhance their response to that particular stimulus.
The results suggest that Arc has an indirect role in inserting glutamate receptors in the cell membrane, as well as its previously known role in removing them, according to the researchers. "It's remarkable to find one single gene and its protein to be so responsible" in different types of plasticity, says Sur.
While others have shown in experiments with neurons that Arc appears to have a role in both suppressing and stimulating synapses, this paper is the first to demonstrate the effect in living animals, says Hey-Kyoung Lee, associate professor of biology at the University of Maryland, who was not involved in the research. "The current paper clearly shows that Arc plays a critical role in shaping cortical synapses with sensory experience," she says.
Shepherd is now planning experiments to image the Arc protein in single cells in the visual cortex. He also plans to further investigate the protein's role in Fragile X and Angelman syndromes.

Chrysanthemum Morifolium
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 7, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Chrysanthemum Morifolium Herb
Flowers have always served many functions in society and the chrysanthemum morifolium is no exception. On one hand, chrysanthemums have graced gardens, parks and homes across many cultures for centuries, thanks to their beautiful flower formations in all colors of the rainbow except for blue, of course. On the other hand, chrysanthemums have been a rich source of herbal medicines in cultures like the Japanese, Chinese and Indian with many Western cultures also recognizing the plants' healing qualities.
Origin and History
Despite its strong associations to Eastern cultures specifically Chinese and Japanese, the hardy chrysanthemum is actually also a native plant of northern Africa and southern Europe. In fact, its English name is derived from the Greek word chyros (golden) and anthos (flower) mainly because of the predominantly yellow color in the most popular types.
The strongest association is between the Chinese culture and the chrysanthemum. The hardy plant was first cultivated in China during the 15th century mainly as a flowering herb instead of for its aesthetic value alone. In fact, such is the love of chrysanthemums that an ancient Chinese city was named in its honor.
It was only later that the chrysanthemum was imported to Japan where it quickly gained a strong following. Even the imperial family's seal is a stylized chrysanthemum flower while an annual festival is held in the flower's honor to this day.
Ancient and Modern Uses
Then and now, chrysanthemum flowers have been used in a wide variety of medicinal applications. Practitioners of traditional Chinese, Japanese and Indian medicine have discovered new ways to use the flowers while modern scientists continue to discover why such beautiful flowers have potent effects on bacteria, viruses and fungi. Just to name a few of this wide variety of medicinal uses:
• Alleviation of the pains associated with Headaches, sore throat and fever
• Relief of the symptoms of vertigo and hypertension
• Removal of toxins from the body as a cleansing tea
• Improvement of vision especially in night blindness as well as treatment of eye-related problems like redness, soreness and strain
• Treatment of angina through the dilation of the coronary arteries
• Healing of the symptoms on wind-heat syndrome
• Faster curing of skin infections when applied as a poultice from the juices of a fresh plant
• Adjunct therapy against abnormal growth mainly because of its potent inhibitory effects against the body's abnormal cells
• Pacify the liver
These healing properties are possible because of the presence of stachydrine, flavonoids, choline, betaine, and vitamin B1, among other chemical components.
Side Effects and Precautions
As can be expected in any herbal formulations, chrysanthemum is not without its share of side effects and precautions. For as long as you can keep within the recommended dosage of 2 to 3 capsules of chrysanthemum tablets taken 2 times a day during mealtimes, you can avoid the possible side effects of overdosing, such as diarrhea. In the case of teas, poultices and other fresh uses of chrysanthemums, always refer to the instructions of an experienced herbalist.
If you have allergies to daisies, asters and other flowers belonging to the chrysanthemum family, if you have diarrhea or if you are physically weak, then chrysanthemum pills, tablets and other applications are not for you. You can develop allergic reactions that will worsen your condition.

I think that listening to them and taking their needs and wishes seriously is essential. I had an elderly Pakistani student who had lived in the UK for decades but only had rudimentary English as she had been taking care of children and grandchildren. When the last grandchild had gone to university, she enrolled on a course. Though her literacy was limited, her principle aim was to master some IT skills as she wanted to stay in touch with them, so she focussed on the internet and what she needed for that. Many would have tried to encourage her to study in different ways.
She started learning English when she was in her seventies and she wanted to be able to master things like email and would spend hours practising skills like remembering and learning her email address, and the questions she needed to ask for help when using the internet in her local library.
Underneath, it's the same; finding out their needs and trying to meet them.

Student Honored for Her Science and Tech Work With Women
Prerana Prakash
Computer science graduate student Prerana Prakash has been honored with a Student Community Leadership Award for her work in supporting and encouraging women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics – the so-called STEM fields.
The UT Dallas Women's Center nominated Prakash for her efforts to help women in India, her home country, through education initiatives, tutoring and community engagement programs.
At the 17th annual Women of Color (WOC) STEM Conference, hosted by the Career Communications Group, Prakash was recognized before an audience of more than 800 STEM professionals and college students. She will also be featured in an article in the upcoming Women of Color magazine.
"It was a great experience to meet and network with so many women across different domains who are excelling in their areas of work," said Prakash.
At the conference, Prakash attended workshops where women from executive ranks discussed myriad topics, including how to balance work with personal life, the importance of diversity initiatives and how to collaborate with peers to better assess professional development.
According to a 2011 report by the U.S. Department of Commerce, women fill close to half of all jobs in the U.S. economy, but they hold fewer than 25 percent of the STEM jobs.
"Listening to all the work done by women in STEM today not only inspired me to excel, but also to motivate young women to take up careers in STEM," added Prakash.
The 2012 WOC Stem Conference was held Oct. 11-13 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas.
The UT Dallas Women's Center is housed under the Office of Diversity and Community Engagement.

Misunderstanding or snow machine groping?
Jurors in Silverton are expected to begin deliberating today in the case of an outdoor guide accused of groping women while they were riding snowmobiles last winter.
Keith Leslie Harper, 62, owner of Outlaw Rivers & Jeep Tours, is on trial for allegedly grabbing the breasts of one woman and pushing his genitals into the backs of two others while riding on the backs of their snowmobiles. Harper has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charges of unlawful sexual contact.
The trial, which began Tuesday, is the first jury trial to take place in Silverton in about three years. And it has proved a bit problematic. The proceedings nearly ended in a mistrial after testimony and deliberation went past the allotted two days and two of seven jurors had to bow out.
San Juan County Judge Lyndon Skinner, who doesn't have a law degree, as is the case in some counties with very low populations, allowed the trial to go on with five jurors after attorneys for both sides agreed.
Silverton Standard publisher Mark Esper, who is covering the trial, reported that three out-of-state visitors to the Silverton area reported they were subjected to unwanted sexual contact during a single tour on Feb. 24.
One woman said Harper grabbed her breasts while he was riding behind her on the snowmobile. She testified that she gunned the machine, throwing Harper off the back. Two other women testified that Harper pushed his genitals into their backs while kneeling behind them on snowmobiles.
The women complained to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad because the railroad had an agreement with Harper's company to provide tours in conjunction with train rides.The railroad terminated its agreement with Harper following the complaints.
Harper's defense attorneys characterized the contact as "misunderstandings" and said it would be unreasonable to think that Harper could derive any sexual gratification from contact because the women wore thick ski clothes and Harper had on heavy gloves.
