This would be Andre Gordon's moment. Seconds ticking down, tie game, conference title on the line. Time to shine for the outstanding junior guard.
And it was. But rather than taking the last shot, Gordon fed Ratez Roberts who was open for what held up as a game-winning layup with 2.5 seconds left.
»MIKE AND MARC: The boys might address the impending GWOC breakup
"I had my man sitting under the basket," said Gordon following an offensively challenged 36-34 defeat of host Butler before a near capacity crowd on Tuesday night. "He knew it was coming. That's just practice. That's what we do."
»WAYNE COACH: "We're not ready to burn the house down yet"
What Sidney did was scratch back into Greater Western Ohio Conference American North Division boys high school basketball contention.
Butler (18-3, 11-3) and Sidney (15-6, 11-3) are tied for the North lead with one divisional game remaining. Butler closes the regular season at Tippecanoe (12-8, 7-6) on Friday and Sidney does the same against visiting Greenville (1-19, 0-14).

If both Sidney and Butler win, they'll share the North title. If one wins and the other loses, the winner is the outright champion. It was the fifth straight win by Sidney and snaps Butler's four-game win streak. Butler defeated Sidney in their first mid-December matchup, 58-51.
Gordon, among the GWOC's scoring leaders at 24.2 points, was held to a season-low seven points. That's significant, because twice he's gone for 40 or more, including a career-high 49 against Greenville. But it was clear from the onset defense would be at a premium. Butler led 2-1 after the first quarter.
»GWOC BOMB: 10 of 20 schools intend to leave
"When you hold Andre Gordon to seven and they only score (36) points, you feel like you're going to win the game," said Butler coach DJ Wyrick, in his third season with the Aviators after leaving Billy Donlon's men's basketball staff at Wright State University.
Butler never did find its shooting touch, going 3 of 16 in 3-pointers and just 3 of 6 in free throws, "and we're a good-shooting team," said Wyrick. "For everyone on our team, that's probably the biggest game they've ever played in. We were a little tight early on."
Toledo-bound football recruit Devan Rogers led Sidney with 10 points and Roberts, also an emerging junior receiver, added eight.
»SPLIT DECISION: 5 things to know about the GWOC breakup
Kort Justice, a senior transfer guard from Miamisburg and Butler's leading scorer, led the Aviators with 12 points. He hadn't scored less than 20 in Butler's previous four games. Bryant Johnson, another emerging junior who is generating football recruiting interest as a 6-foot-6 receiver, added eight points.
Butler landed the No. 3 seed in a loaded Dayton 1, Division I sectional at Centerville. The Aviators have a first-round bye and will play the Xenia/Fairmont winner.
Sidney could do no better than a No. 8 seed in the Dayton 2 sectional. The Yellow Jackets will play Troy in the first round on Feb. 13 at Trotwood-Madison.
"That's what teams are going to do to us because they don't want us going up and down and that's Butler's system, for the most part," said Sidney coach John Willoughby.
Miamisburg 62, Fairborn 56: Senior Jason Hubbard unloaded 10 fourth-quarter points and tallied a game-high 29 in leading the host Vikings to their eighth straight win. Duncan Hall added 17 points. Miamisburg (17-4, 6-4) already has won the GWOC National West title and ends the regular season at Northmont on Friday.
Miamisburg is a No. 4 seed in the Dayton 1, D-I sectional. The Vikings will play the Lebanon/Belmont winner in the second round. Barring upsets, Miamisburg will play Butler in a sectional final. Shaunn Monroe had five 3-pointers and led Fairborn (8-13) with a season-high 33 points.
Northmont 76, Bethel 63: The visiting Thunderbolts limited high-scoring Caleb South to 15 points to earn an impressive win. Jabari Perkins led Northmont with 17 points. Ryan Rose led Bethel (16-4) with 21 points and Kendal James added 18.
Northmont (9-11) opens the Dayton 3, D-I sectional against Fairborn on Feb. 23. Bethel (16-4) is a No. 2 seed in the Northmont 1, D-III sectional and will play the Miami East/Greenon winner on Feb. 28. Bethel (11-0) has clinched the Cross County Conference title.
Greenon 62, Emmanuel Christian 58, double-OT: Trevor Anderson hit a 3-pointer with 2.6 second left in regulation and tallied 17 points in leading the host Knights.

Review in a Nutshell: These Broken Stars was the first Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner book I ever read, and it made me fall in love with this author duo. It's funny, adorable, heartbreaking, and slightly ominous- basically everything you could ask for in a book.

These Broken Stars is what you would get if you put Titanic in space (except, with a lot more Man vs. Wild in there too). Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen are from two different worlds. Lilac has lived in luxury her whole life, as the daughter of the richest man in the galaxy. Meanwhile, Tarver is a soldier who came from nothing. But their two worlds collide on the Icarus, a luxury space-liner. However, the Icarus itself then collides with a planet in the middle of nowhere. Lilac and Tarver are lucky to survive the crash, but can they stay alive on this mysterious planet?

World of Country Life, a Devon-based family attraction, initially enlisted Customerwise Ltd to provide a comprehensive assessment of its baseline performance in terms of overall Customer Satisfaction. The detailed set of reports that were provided covered every aspect of the visitor experience.
James Turner explains:
"Here at World of Country Life, visitor experience is one of our highest priorities. We know that all aspects of that visit need to be right to provide a truly excellent day out. We also understand that, when operating a busy family attraction, it can be difficult to critically appraise that in which you are so deeply immersed, day in day out.
For this reason, we approached Paul Taylor at Customerwise with the aim of achieving an objective appraisal of our complete visitor journey. Paul took the time to understand our business, listen to our priorities and prepare a bespoke Mystery Shopping brief and questionnaire. He then allocated a team of highly observant and skilled Mystery Shoppers who represented a good cross-section of our visitor demographic to survey and report on every aspect of the real visitor experience, taking place across multiple visits encompassing both peak and shoulder periods.
The result was the most comprehensive and useful feedback we have ever received. It allowed us to identify and prioritise areas for improvement, some of which reinforced our existing development plan and others which highlighted areas we were previously unaware of. Having multiple visit reports to refer to also allowed us to easily identify where there were consistent highlights / improvement areas and focus on these.
Paul was on hand to discuss of all the reports which came in both top-level summary and full step-by-step breakdown. It was clear he cared about our business and enabling us to provide the best visitor experience possible, while taking maximum advantage of new and existing commercial opportunities
Again, visitor experience is one of our highest priorities. The return on investment in engaging the services of Paul Taylor and Customerwise is clear, especially given the power of social media and online reviews. With the volume of our TripAdvisor reviews increasing by 48% in the last 12 months it is clear that visitors are becoming more willing to share their experiences – good or bad – with the world; reviews that can either be your greatest challenge or your best, most cost effective and honest marketing channel.
We would strongly recommend Paul Taylor and Customerwise to any organisation seeking a boost, a "health check" or gaining objective insights into their operation – and we plan to enjoy the benefits of an ongoing working relationship."

Transcript of telephone conversation between Eva Braun, PA to Matt Muttley, and Matt Muttley. Friday 28th March 0630 hours.
Braun: Hi Matt… how ya hanging?
Muttley: Good, Eva… in fact… very good. Excuse me darling, I have to take this call from my PA, Eva…….. Eva… sorry… my Mother decided to come over for breakfast and some advice on offshore trusts.
Braun: Yeah right… so since when do you call your Mother 'Darling'? Another Estonian lap dancer needing urgent advice on tax planning? Do you want me to record the time?
Muttley: OK…OK… not billable…. so what gives?
Braun: Matt… I was watching 'The Apprentice' last night. Fantastic barrister… got fired by the garden gnome, but exactly the right socio-psychopathic profile for us. Have spoken to Dr Strangelove about him and he agrees. We should bring him in with a view immediately.
Muttley: Usual First, top law school, no failures, arrogant, dysfunctional?
Braun: Not sure about the dysfunctional bit, but he can't talk about football and appears to have a supersized ego and opinion of himself. He can also paint, so could be put to work doing artwork for reception at quiet times. He has his own website – this guy has it all and he is not shy about telling everyone.
Muttley: OK… send me the URL and info and I'll get a memo out. If you could arrange a taxi for Mother… I'll let her out by the partner's lift.. I'll be out in five.
From: Matt Muttley, Managing Partner
To: All Partners
cc: Dr Strangelove, Head of Training
Date: 28th March 2008
Eva has sent me the cv of a young recently qualified barrister who appeared on BBC reality show 'The Apprentice' the other night. This young man appears to have all the qualities we look for in our trainees and staff. We also need to harden up our advocacy unit as well.
As you know, I am a keen supporter of law blogs and Victorian Maiden at Ruthie's Law has a most useful analysis:
"Nicholarse has the lot. From the time at which he put the boot into his team leader and allowed Raef to take responsibility for it; to his last-ditch insistence that being unable to work out 30% of a total and then add it on to the original price to produce a profit was not his fault but someone else's, Nick was supreme. Never mind that commercial work would appear beyond our boy – Nick can sneer with the best. And, of course, Nick ensured that the viewer knew he was a barrister. This, apparently, gave him an edge. Other contestants quailed at the thought of facing Nick in the Boardroom. "
Partners may wish to view Mr De Lacy-Brown's website – a monument to himself.
De Lacy-Brown writes… "It was Virgil who stated in his Ecologues: 'Non omnia possumus omnes' (We can't all do everything), a statement which many have been happy to oblige. In Nicholas de Lacy-Brown however, there lies a man who is prepared to question such apathy. Undoubtedly a man of many talents, he has lived his short twenty-four years with a vivacity and boldness which few could achieve in a lifetime…"
He has appropriate academic qualifications – usual first, decent university and an '"Outstanding on the BVC". Of rather more importance to us, is not the objective judgment of academics and purveyors of BVC courses, but his own assessment of himself. (See above)
He can paint as well – so could be very useful, at quiet times, doing a bit of decorating around the office and, of course, adding to our extensive library of artwork displayed in reception. He speaks Spanish – do we have any Spanish clients?
As he managed to get himself fired in Episode 1 of The Apprentice – he may well be available. Let me know your thoughts on this. My only concern is that he may be a figment of imagination and may not actually exist. Research on Google does not appear to reveal which set he is a pupil at. Eva is on the case.

A NSW parliamentarian has been caught drink-driving, the state's deputy premier says.
"Earlier today, I was informed that the MP for the Northern Tablelands, Adam Marshall, was last night caught driving under the influence of alcohol," NSW Nationals leader Andrew Stoner said.
"I have since expressed to Adam my disappointment with his actions, and reiterated the high standards that I expect of all our MPs."
Mr Marshall is not the first Tablelands MP to attract scandal.
He claimed the seat at a 2013 by-election sparked by the resignation of Richard Torbay, who held the Northern Tablelands as an independent for 14 years.
Mr Torbay resigned last March - a day after the Nationals dumped him as their candidate for the federal seat of New England.
He was subsequently referred to the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption because of his relationship with crooked ex-Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid.
Mr Stoner said Mr Marshall had resigned as temporary Speaker and Deputy Chair of the State and Regional Development Committee.

This is not the first time the intelligence community has tried to scuttle Jonathan's release, by creating a media frenzy to tie the president's hands. Each time, over the last 2 decades that there has been some sense that a commutation or a pardon might be in the offing, there have been official leaks to the media, creating such devastating press about Jonathan that it made it difficult for the president to proceed with commutation.It should be noted, however, that the author of the piece is Pollard's wife, Esther.

In our house, more than a decade operates one rule, "All the walls belong to children!", We allowed them to draw on the walls, scratch, smear clay, ripping the wallpaper, but not using a hammer and other sharp objects. Is permitted everything that can be done with bare hands. But we just have not thought of the fact that our children are growing up, and the house remains the same, and besides, who knew that we will have in the family the child, which would be manic destroy walls and doors with his bare hands. If you want to test your door on its strength - call Evnika! #SaadvakassFamily #EvnikaSaadvakass #Training #WomenBoxing #RevolutionInSport #NewTechnologiesInSport #PersonalDevelopment #AmazingSkills #SimulatorEvnik

"I am an American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgery board-certified foot and ankle surgeon specializing in all ankle and foot problems from routine to the highly complicated.

Medical Leader of Nestle Health Science's e-Health Incubator
"After a decade as an IBM technology executive, I decided to attend medical school to merge my computer engineering and medical science passions to make as great a contribution as possible. Since earning my MD and pediatric residency at the University of Connecticut, I have capitalized on my physician-technologist background as a HCIT consultant specializing in technology transitioning, implementation, and future positioning.

I've seen my community grow exponentially in this time and grown my practice from three doctors to a bustling nine physicians and six midlevel providers; and soon to add our fourth location. My interests have grown over the years and include pediatric obesity, breastfeeding expertise, challenging medical diagnoses, and recently a passion for the management of medical business. I'm also an expert weaver, having been published multiple times in the U.S. and internationally. My first weaving book was published in 2014."

As someone who has spent over a decade in the medical field, I find that I am interested in how physicians connect —with patients and society, or peers and technology. I want the profession of medicine to focus not just on the delivery of quality care for patients in need, but to identify ways in which we can meet this obligation in a more streamlined and personalized manner, thus making healthcare better for those who receive it and those who practice it."

In my area, Lorain County, west of Cleveland, Ohio, I am one of the few self-employed, primary-care physicians. I have been making "pin money" through covering call at one of the local hospices, and even continuing to care for hospitalized patients by acting as hospitalist about 1 week a month at our local critical access hospital. This extra work has helped practice finances and allowed me to spend more time with patients."
Wichita Anesthesiology Chartered, Wichita, KS / Center for Professional Business Development
"I've been in private practice for over thirteen years. During that time, I served in leadership positions in my group and learned what I didn't know about running a practice the hard way - by making mistakes.

Mike Bryant, dad to Most Valuable Player Kris Bryant is a former Red Sox farmhand who was influenced by Ted Williams in the batting cages and now a professional hitting instructor in Las Vegas. My son Sammy and I had the honor to meet Mike and he is an exceptional kind and generous human with a deep passion for teaching baseball. His words of wisdom have already started to shape Sammy.
They recently interviewed him on Cubs Insider and published a 4 part series. I'll provide snippets from each article and you can head there and read them all or listen to the recorded interview for each.
In part 1, he talks about how he worked with Kris in the off season to not miss so many pitches and strike out less:
He talks about how to use the Zepp 3D Swing Analyzer & their analytics, which measures pretty much all the angles in the swing.
What it measures, it has a 3D swing plane and it has two lines. It shows you a hand path and a barrel path and then it puts numbers to it — bat speed, time to impact, hand speed — and it'll show you the vertical angle on the bat and the attack angle on the bat. The vertical angle, if you can visualize, if you hold the bad straight across the plate in front of you that would be zero and then if you point it straight down at the ground that would be 90…
…Kris is kind of more towards the Trout side, 38 degrees, and if you point it down at 38 degrees you'll create a hole in your swing on the outer part of the plate. Or you'll have a hard time squaring up balls because you're just not coming in at a good angle because of the movement of the ball. So what you're trying to do is match the bat path to the ball path best as you can. So we reduced Kris's vertical angle through hard work from about 38 down to about 25.
Players Kris's age improve their contact rates by about 1 to 2 percent the following year. That's basically the average. Kris last year improved his contact rate by 7 percent, so we're talking almost a four-fold increase over what usually happens.
In part 2, Mike shares what today's baseball executives are looking for in a swing:
The second day, Kris got into the cage and he hits this missile to right center. Line drive, one-hops the fence, and he comes out of the cage on the first swing and one of the guys says, "What are you doing? You hurt?" Kris says, "No, no." He said, "Coach says anybody, if they don't hit the ball on the ground to get the hell out of the cage."
So this guy's jaw hits the ground. We don't want to bad-mouth any coaches here, seriously, but the exec says, "Get the hell back in there. We didn't draft you to hit frickin' ground balls to the right side."
In part 3, he talk hitting thought processes:
I think there's this thought process where people want to, and correct me if I'm wrong, they want to just decrease strikeouts because strikeouts are bad. But sometimes when people decrease strikeouts, they compensate and they lose power and they hit more weak batted balls and they don't really maximize their value.
It's pretty remarkable that you're able to increase your contact but you increase your better contact. I think that's a goal that should be taught. Don't just increase your contact for the hell of it. Don't just go opposite field to go opposite field. Do it with purpose. Do it to hit better contact, right?
In part 4, he shares some of the challenges bringing up a future major league baseball player:
You got kids or whatever, you can teach them because you can acquire knowledge and become a really good coach, teacher, having not played.
The best part, is that Mike is now sharing some of his wisdom on his new website. Check out his latest post.

Around the World in 80 Chairs: Roccapina V Chair, London
The unique block design is put together piece by piece, held together by glue and reinforced by screws. The chairs are made with absolute precision, starting off as smooth distinct shapes and moving into a pixelated jagged edge. Despite its chaotic appearance, there is a lot of order in the making of the chair each block adjoining to another is of a different colour. The designer Ian Spencer stated that "There are actually a lot of rules to the chair, but an absence of predictability. It's not anarchy." The YardSaleProject exhibited at London's Designersblock at the Southbank Centre last weekend.

Depression and anxiety are signs of struggle, not fragility. Emotional problems are not a choice, and no one wants to go through a depression or go through moments of anxiety. They can arise as a result of a period of accumulated complicated situations and circumstances. It is often thought that anxiety and depression are signs of frailty and disability in life.
However, a person who suffers from anxiety, depression or mixed symptoms is NOT crazy nor weak or inferior. It is sad and exhausting to have to argue about this but it is a social reality that we cannot deny. So, despite the advances of science, the modern unconscious of society still thinks that emotional and psychological problems are synonymous with fragility and vulnerability.
This is why depression and anxiety do not look like wounds that need attention but as states where we will react in this way: "relax", "it is not serious "," begins to forget, life is not that "," There is no reason to cry "," Begins to mature ", etc. Does not that talk to you? In fact, it is likely that at one time you were the hangman or the victim of this type of speech. This is why it is important to do an exercise of consciousness and give emotional pain all the importance it has.
So, in the same way that we would not ignore a stinging pain in the stomach or a migraine, we should not ignore the emotional pain.
Do not forget to read:How to Tell if you are in a Toxic Relationship
We cannot leave emotional wounds without care and we have to work on them and find their meaning, which cause the symptoms. That is, we need to consult a psychologist who helps us and brings us strategies to deal with this great emotional pain, which causes depression and anxiety . If we follow this example, just like stopping to consume lactose if we realize that we are intolerant, we must stop "consuming" those thoughts and circumstances that infect our emotional wounds.
Bands and patches do not work: we have to wash and sanitize.
In this article, we want to show you that these sensations related to emotional problems are normal. Let's get to the heart of the matter to understand them and become aware of them…
Woman-anxiety disorder
Anxiety, a disastrous journey on a roller coaster
The sensations we suffer from anxiety are very similar to those we feel on the roller coaster when we begin to feel bad. Let us put ourselves in a situation. We spent the day in an amusement park where there are incredible roller coasters that we have decided to do. For that, we have to wait our turn in a huge tail. The day is hot and the sun hits hard on our head, which causes pain and physical discomfort.
We feel tired and we no longer want to get into the car but we do it because we came to enjoy it. Once we're inside, our heart begins to beat very hard, everything revolves around us, the wagons make the back salos, we go into dark tunnels and we get attacked from everywhere.
Hand-catcher puppet
Our breathing is accelerating and our heart is racing. We feel that from one moment to another, we will faint. Our sensations are disordered, something rests on our chest, we remain motionless, unable to react. We cannot help but think of negative things. We cry and cry,complain, but no one hears us, not even ourselves and ask desperately that it stops and we see ourselves dying.
However, we cannot stop the car because it stops only when the minutes set for the trip have passed. An anxiety crisis is like an unfortunate journey on a roller coaster. From one moment to the next, it stops but we do not know when or how, then having control over this uncertainty is complicated.
Depression, the darkness of the soul
Who suffers from depression feels that everything is wrapped around fog. Little by little, one loses one's dreams, nothing animates or motivates us, we have difficulty studying or going to work, and we feel immensely sad or irritable.
The depression is the drop of water that makes the vase overflow , a glass that is at the very top of the situations and complicated circumstances that have shaken us and make us move. That is why it is important that, as soon as we realize that something is wrong, we are consulting a professional to support and bring emotional coherence to what is happening to us.
Having emotional problems is not a choice. A depressed person does not say, "I want to feel bad and I take a little sadness to see if I drown in it. " It does not work that way. In fact, it can happen to us all.
Female face to a window hanging in the air
No one is immune to the clutches of depression and anxiety
Depression and anxiety are not signs of fragility but of strength. These emotional problems do not appear overnight, but are simmering in the hell streaks of life, in difficulties and in emotional exhaustion. Nor are they the consequences of a personal choice. We can not decide whether or not we want them to accompany us.
These two emotional problems stem from the struggle against the difficulties of life that accompany us and from having been so strong for so long. We must not forget that no one is free from anxiety or depression at any time in his life, either directly or indirectly.
Let us pay attention to others, understand these problems and above all, do not judge them.

Nothing can be more nerve racking for a parent than the wail of a baby who cant be comforted. You can lose a lot of sleep and at some points come close to losing your sanity. While everyone has their own ideas for raising children one of the best things you can do for your baby is calm them naturally. Here is some information to help you finally calm your baby.
Many parents and doctors will tell you to just leave your baby alone when they are crying. The philosophy is that if no one comes to help the baby, they will learn to self soothe. The truth is small babies dont have the emotional capabilities to self soothe. Yes, the baby will stop crying eventually, but only because it feels it has been abandoned and has given up on seeking help. A baby who isnt comforted when they cry believes their parents no longer care. This can destroy the parental bond and the childs self esteem. Letting a baby cry it out may not always be the best option.
On the other hand, your psychological health matters too. Theres
bound to be the occasional time that you cant take it anymore and
no one is around to help you. If you feel youve reached your
breaking point, its all right to take a break from your child for a
few minutes while you regroup. If your child knows youre coming
back eventually, they will be less likely to feel abandoned.
The best way to learn to soothe your crying baby is to get to know them. Most of the time, the child is crying because something is wrong; theyre hungry, tired, grumpy, sick, bored, or have one of a multitude of other needs, and every one of these problems has a different cry. If you spend time with your baby and listen carefully, you should be able to distinguish one cry from another. You should for other cues such as facial expressions and body language. The sooner you learn to interpret your childs crying, the sooner youll be able to satisfy their needs.
Sometimes, babies dont really have anything wrong with them and are just plain upset. Here are a few suggestions for calming a fussy baby:
* Play music. Many babies may also be soother by you singing to them or to simple white noise.
* Use Lavender. It is known to have natural calming properties; you could put it in their bath, bedroom, laundry, or almost anywhere that the soothing vapors will be able to comfort them.
* Use the 5 Ss. Swaddling, laying the baby on its Side or Stomach (supervised), Shhing, Swinging them in a mechanical swing or your arms, and offering a breast or pacifier to Suck on will trigger the babys natural calming reflex and help them relax.
* Distract them. Try to offer him his favorite toy or make quiet baby talk. You may be able to get him to forget he was upset in the first place.
* Give your baby a massage. A
massage can be just as relaxing for your baby as it is for you. Be
very gentle with your touch.
If youve tried these and other remedies, but your baby still wont stop crying, you should take them to the pediatrician, just in case. They may have something simple (but annoying), like colic, but its best to be sure that its not something more serious.

It seems todays society is becoming totally apathetic to the world around them. Many children in particular are more concerned with playing the latest video game and dont really pay much attention to the environment around them. It may seem hard to get your children to show an interest in the world around them, but you can get them to care if you start early and take small steps. You may not make a difference overnight, but you may just make a difference in the future of the planet.
Teething can be a horrible time for babies. Not only does a new tooth cause pain and discomfort for your little one, it also can be scary to have something new growing inside their mouth. While there are lots of products on the market, such as baby Tylenol and teething gels, these products can be dangerous for your child. Before you go shopping at the pharmacy aisle, try some of these natural remedies to stop teething pain.
One of the newest trends in parenting is baby sign language. People in the deaf community have known for years that babies could communicate through sign long before their vocal cords allow them to speak, but the trend didnt really catch on because of the false assumption that signing led to later verbal language development. We now know that not only does signing not keep a baby from talking; it actually helps them to start talking sooner and have better language skills.
It used to be diapering was such a hassle; mothers had no choice but to use cloth diapers, clumsy pins, and annoying covers. Then they invented disposable diapers and most mothers thought it was a miracle. Now, about 80% of diapered babies use disposable diapers. But are plastic diapers really better? Before you go grab a pack of Pampers, catch up on some of the advantages of cloth diapering.
How to Make Homemade Diaper Wipes
Like most disposable baby products, diaper wipes can be expensive. They also contain unnatural chemicals that may harm your baby. Instead of spending all that money, why not make your own, natural, safe homemade diaper wipes in just a few minutes?
How to Choose the Right Cloth Diapers
When we were kids, our moms had one choice for cloth diapers. It involved folding, pins, plastic covers, and a lot of frustration. Many of us have simply switched to disposable diapers because theyre more convenient. Well, most cloth diapers today are not only convenient, theyre also more attractive and sometimes work better than disposable. The key to using and sticking with cloth diapers is choosing the one that works best for you. Here are some of the cloth diaper options on the market.
Babies need a lot of attention and theres a great way you can have your baby with your all day, hands free. Imagine being able to cook, clean, shop, and play with your other children all while you baby is safely snuggled up against you. Well you can do that and more with the art of baby wearing.
Most mothers know that breastfeeding is the most natural and healthy option for their baby. The problem is that nowadays mothers need to work, shop, take their other children places, and do a thousand other things; its hard to always be in a private area when your baby is hungry. Social norms make many women feel wrong feeding their children in public areas, but dont let this stop you.
We live in a bottle feeding society. Many mothers not only find
feeding more convenient, they have also been led to believe
that feeding formula is somehow better for them and their baby. This
information is flat out wrong. The benefits of breastfeeding for you
and your baby generally far outweigh any risks or problems you may
Many parents who co-sleep with their infants worry about keeping them in a family bed too long. You probably have worries about your child becoming too attached or that a toddler will affect your marital relationship. Many families continue to co-sleep with their older children, who grow up to become healthy and well adjusted. Just as with infants, co-sleeping makes a child feel safe and loved.
In our modern culture, many people wouldnt even consider sleeping in the same bed as their baby, but the practice of co-sleeping has gone on for thousands of years in many parts of the world. Co-sleeping with your child helps you form better bonds and feel closer to them, helps them feel safer, and has even been shown to improve a childs self esteem and more satisfaction with life when they get older. While many organizations claim co-sleeping is unsafe, there are precautions you can take to sleep safely with your child.
While terribly painful, many times natural childbirth is the best option for having a healthy delivery. It also makes sure that you will be lucid and ready to see and hold you baby once they are born. While most women plan on having a natural birth, many tend to change their minds when the pain gets too bad. If you really want to have a natural childbirth, but arent sure youll stick with it; try these methods to help you prepare for your labor.
There are a lot of different philosophies out there about how to raise your children. One of more popular parenting philosophies thats been publicized in the past few years is attachment parenting. Many people dont understand exactly what it is. Attachment parenting is when the parents try to form a close, special bond with their children. This strong relationship with their parents is said to help a child develop strong, healthy, secure relationships in the future.

Guest Transfer
CHPC provides a mechanism for our users to transfer files to and from individuals without CHPC accounts. This service is called guest-transfer.
What is it for?
At times, CHPC users need to transfer files to or from individuals that don't have CHPC accounts. These files are often quite large (many gigabytes), and thus unsuitable for other transport mechanisms (email, DVD).
These file transfers often need to happen with little or no warning. They may also need to occur outside CHPC's support hours. Thus, the guest-transfer service must function without intervention or assistance from CHPC staff.
What is it not for?
- The guest transfer service is not for repeated events.
- The guest transfer service is not for long-term data storage.
- The guest transfer service is not for restricted (PHI/HIPAA/HITECH/FERPA) or sensitive data.

Crystal structure of a hairpin ribozyme in the catalytically-active conformation
Structural highlights
[SNRPA_HUMAN] Binds stem loop II of U1 snRNA. It is the first snRNP to interact with pre-mRNA. This interaction is required for the subsequent binding of U2 snRNP and the U4/U6/U5 tri-snRNP. In a snRNP-free form (SF-A) may be involved in coupled pre-mRNA splicing and polyadenylation process. Binds preferentially to the 5'-UGCAC-3' motif in vitro.[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The hairpin ribozyme catalyses sequence-specific cleavage of RNA. The active site of this natural RNA results from the docking of two irregular helices: stems A and B. One strand of stem A harbours the scissile bond. The 2.4 A resolution structure of a hairpin ribozyme-inhibitor complex reveals that the ribozyme aligns the 2'-OH nucleophile and the 5'-oxo leaving group by twisting apart the nucleotides that flank the scissile phosphate. The base of the nucleotide preceding the cleavage site is stacked within stem A; the next nucleotide, a conserved guanine, is extruded from stem A and accommodated by a highly complementary pocket in the minor groove of stem B. Metal ions are absent from the active site. The bases of four conserved purines are positioned potentially to serve as acid-base catalysts. This is the first structure determination of a fully assembled ribozyme active site that catalyses a phosphodiester cleavage without recourse to metal ions.

We brought together Sapphire Slows, Wata Igarashi, Gonno, Sauce81 and Taiji Okuda to test some of the best monitors for electronic music production under €800.
If you were choosing a pair back in the '80s or '90s, you might have gone with Yamaha's NS-10M, a go-to model for many professionals. But as DAWs gained popularity and bedroom producers proliferated, we now have a wide array of powered monitors with built-in amplifiers to choose from, each with its own character. While it's important for monitors to deliver accurate, uncoloured audio, brands have different takes on what this means. And with so many models in different price ranges, it can be daunting to choose the right pair for your setup.
For this feature, we decided to look at four entry-level models that work well in electronic music production. They're all priced under ¥100,000 (a little below €800). Given that the price is within reach of amateur producers, there are many popular models in this price bracket. But the price tag also ensures quality.
We asked four producers—Gonno, Sauce81, Sapphire Slows and Wata Igarashi—to test these speakers alongside the recording engineer Taiji Okuda. Gonno is a producer and DJ who's known for his melodic take on house and techno. Sauce81 and Sapphire Slows are both producers and performers who incorporate their own vocals in their work; the former has a knack for funky dance grooves and the latter writes mystical experimental compositions. Wata Igarashi is a techno artist whose intricately detailed tracks have been picked up by labels like The Bunker New York and Midgar. Okuda, meanwhile, is a veteran engineer with a deep understanding of sound equipment and electronic music. He also works at Studio MSR, the studio at which the listening session took place. To test how each speaker performs in an electronic music context, each producer brought in reference tracks, fiddled with drum machines and EQs, and played some records.
Genelec 8010A
When it comes to powered monitors, Finland's Genelec is an industry veteran. Their products are common in commercial and bedroom studios alike. The smallest model in the classic 8000 series, the 8010A, is a tiny but capable unit that comes in a cast-aluminium casing with a three-inch woofer and a 3/4-inch metal dome tweeter. The rear panel switches for customising room response settings allow you to fine tune the monitors to suit your studio environment.
After an initial sound test, the four producers were impressed with the clarity of sound coming from such tiny units, mentioning that they would be perfect to take on the road. With each speaker weighing only 1.5kg, it was the lightest monitor we tested. The small size, however, was not an indication of its capabilities. "I use Genelec's 8040 BPM at home," said Gonno. "But this model seems to produce just as good a sound." After playing some of his own tracks as well as testing some sounds on a drum machine, Igarashi told me, "I love how the middle and high frequency ranges are crisp and don't mesh together. The depth in the reverb is also very clear and doesn't get muddy. But for making techno tracks, I feel like the lower frequencies are kind of weak, and I'd probably also use headphones alongside it."
Sauce81 and others agreed that it lacked strength in the low end, although Sapphire Slows pointed out that "this allows you to really home in on the parts that you hear when you listen to music on a home stereo system or earphones." Gonno added that, "When dance music producers create music on monitors that have a lot of low frequencies, they tend to focus too much on the low end. With these speakers, you really notice the mid-range, which would allow you to approach sound design in a different way, which I think is interesting."
Okuda offered an engineer's perspective. "When you're picking out speakers, it's important to figure out where its strength lies. When I mix, I start by working on big speakers, then move on to smaller speakers to check and make adjustments. The 8010A is a good model to make judgements on the overall impression of the sound and to tweak the attack in the mid and high ranges. It's a classic Genelec sound with characteristic sharpness, and they sound good at low volumes, too."

PreSonus R65
PreSonus, an audio hardware and software company behind products like the Studio One DAW, is a trustworthy brand for cost-effective products. The R65 is a powerful monitor boasting an output of 150W, with a vinyl-laminated cabinet, a 6.5-inch low frequency driver and an AMT tweeter for reproducing super high frequencies. Acoustic Tuning controls let you adjust the sound according to room acoustics.
Thanks to its larger driver, the R65 had a more noticeable bottom compared to the Genelecs, prompting some of the producers to nod in satisfaction. "I liked that the low range was more powerful," said Sauce81. "Some people might prefer monitors that have better separation of sound, but for the music I create this would work well."
"Maybe there's not enough there to fully reproduce the low end," added Gonno, "but it does a good job of rounding out the sound. I don't think you could really monitor low-end decay, like from an 808 kick, for example, but I do think these would work for dance music. Also, it really shows that ribbon tweeters have good high frequency response."
For Sapphire Slows' abstract style and Igarashi's delicate production, the producers felt the Genelec monitor was a better match, although they did see how the R65 may work in certain situations. "My music tends to have more going on in the mid and high frequencies," Sapphire Slows told me. "So when I first heard the R65, I felt like the Genelecs would be better for my music. But after hearing some music by the others, I noticed how good some of it sounded, and it makes me realise how different my sound design would be if I used these. For me though, they would be more for listening purposes instead of production." Igarashi said, "The highs are prominent, but the mids sound a little blurred to me. I wouldn't choose these for precise EQing or working on fine details, but for big productions with vocals they would be a delight to work with."
The difference in musicality between the producers really stands out when they're describing what they look for in studio monitors. Okuda summed up the R65: "Compared to the Genelec, which sounds a bit like it has a limiter on, the R65 really sounds like a proper studio monitor. The sound is natural and closer to the actual mixed audio. Vinyl records sound great on these because you can really hear the dynamics. You get a good sense of how much compression is happening. Also, the Acoustic Tuning on the back is a nice feature to have in order get the sound you want."

EVE Audio SC205
Berlin's EVE Audio was established by Roland Stenz, the ex-CEO of ADAM Audio. Their full-range SC monitor series comes equipped with proprietary AMT ribbon tweeters and their own SilverCone woofers, with DSP that lets you tailor the monitor according to the environment.
The SC205 is a two-way monitor with a five-inch woofer. Combining the power of the ribbon tweeter and SilverCone woofer, it has a balanced range of sound that's not too tight. Igarashi, Sapphire Slows and Sauce81 praised the SC205 for its even sound. "It's like a middle ground between Genelec and PreSonus," said Igarashi. "The sound is nicely defined and the mid to high frequencies are clear. It's easy to hear the texture of the reverb as well. I think it's a good one for producers. It has good flatness, even at low volume. So it's perfect for working in an environment where you can't playback loud sounds." Sapphire Slows agreed: "Out of the three we just listened to, this one feels right. As a nearfield monitor, I can't think of any cons. It's easy to see how the EQs affect the sounds as well."
"With these, I don't think I'd need headphones," said Sauce81. "I also think they'd be a great introductory pair for people who've never owned monitors."
Gonno pointed out the benefits of SC205's DSP function for amateur producers. "For people that are creating in an environment with less than ideal acoustics, for example in a room with thin wooden walls or concrete walls, the DSP is a great function for acoustic correction."
"I was expecting them to sound like ADAM monitors, but it turns out they're not as aggressive," said Okuda. "It has a natural characteristic that's similar to passive speakers, combined with the acoustic correction and defined edges of a typical active speaker. It's a good monitor for making music."
SPL / 101 dB
Output / LF: 50 W, HF: 50 W
Frequency Range: 53 Hz - 21 kHz
Speaker / 130 mm woofer, AMT RS1 ribbon tweeter
Dimensions / H: 275 x W: 175 x D: 233 mm

Focal Shape 40
Shape is a relatively new line of nearfield monitors from France's Focal. Instead of a bass port, the Shape line has passive radiators on the sides, while the M-shaped inverted dome tweeter is designed for optimal nearfield monitoring in a small room. The Shape 40 is the most compact model in the line.
The four monitors have distinct qualities and the producers have different tastes, so it was a surprise to hear that everyone was on the same page with the Shape 40. "For me, the ideal monitor is a speaker that's enjoyable to listen to, as well as monitor on," said Gonno. "In a way that's contradictory, but I feel like the Shape 40 manages to achieve just that. For example, if I were listening to a bad recording, I wouldn't just be nit-picking like I would be on a Yamaha NS-10M."
Igarashi echoed the sentiment. "It sounds nice and clean, but it also feels lively. It'd be a joy to make sounds on these." Okuda pointed out that "although it's an active monitor, it has a very organised, pure sound. The bass frequencies are sharp and it's easier to recognise the pitch. It's very clear how much EQ and compression is going on, so these would be great to mix on." Gonno seemed genuinely surprised, telling me how he "can't believe how robust the low frequencies are, especially from such tiny monitors."
"The basslines in Wata's techno tracks really stood out," said Sapphire Slows. "It just has a certain characteristic that I enjoy. Like what Gonno said, the monitor has a nice balance between delivering an enjoyable listening experience and accurate monitoring. It doesn't seem to add too much colour to the sound, so it's a reliable set for making music." Sauce81 thought this pair may change his whole setup. "I usually make music on speakers that get me excited," he said, "and then also use headphones for monitoring. But with these, I'm probably not going to need headphones."
SPL / 102 dB
Output / LF: 25 W, HF: 25w

After the listening session
The four monitors all share a common goal, but each came with a distinct personality. What may or may not work best in a given studio environment really depends on what the producer is trying to achieve. After the session, we discussed what the producers thought about the monitors, and what they look for when choosing a pair.
From having a flat, accurate sound, to passive-speaker-like naturalness, to somewhere in the middle, the monitors we listened to today all had distinct qualities.
Sapphire Slows: I feel like the Focal Shape 40 was the most balanced out of the four. If I were to use the PreSonus R65, I'd probably have to change my approach a bit. But the Shape 40 would work for any kind of music.
Okuda: The Shape 40 was an excellent choice.
Sauce81: For a balanced overall sound, the Shape 40 is the clear winner. Still, I personally liked how the PreSonus R65 sounded. The EVE Audio SC205 is also a good one if I needed to make music at a quiet volume.
Gonno: I liked the PreSonus R65's sonic colour. It's great for listening.
Wata Igarashi: PreSonus's sound was basically the opposite of the Genelec's.
Gonno: Yes, and that's what made me want it. Because I already use Genelecs, it'd be a good idea to also have a pair of R65s to try and find a sweet spot where it sounds good on both speakers.
Sauce81: With Genelec, you could really hear the details. I heard little flaws in my mixes that made me want to go back and fix it.
What's the most important thing for you when choosing a monitor?
Sauce81: I want to be able to monitor the low end properly.
Wata Igarashi: That's one thing that everyone said. It really makes a difference whether you're imagining what your tracks are going to sound like in a club setting or if you're actually hearing how they're going to sound. With the Genelec 8010A, you can work on the mid to high ranges in detail, but for the lower frequencies, you're going to need headphones or subwoofers. On the other hand, the PreSonus R65 had the most robust low end.
Sapphire Slows: I usually make music in a bedroom studio-type environment, so I'm not able to hear the low end much. What I usually do, like Wata said, is imagine what it's going to sound like while I'm EQing, and then make adjustments when I'm rehearsing. But if I could monitor the lower frequencies better, I'm probably not going to be surprised by how different the tracks sound in rehearsal.
The ribbon tweeters featured in the PreSonus R65 and EVE Audio SC205 have great high frequency response.
Wata Igarashi: From my experience, compared to foreign engineers and producers, Japanese people tend to like subtle high ends. Maybe I'm just not used to it, but I think some people would be put off by the prominent high range the ribbon tweeters produce.
Okuda: I agree that different cultures have different sonic preferences. German mixes sound serious, British mixes sound wet and American mixes tend to have an emphasis in the mid-range. In that regard, I think a good attack is a sign of a good monitor.
Gonno: One thing I noticed about nearfield monitors today was that they obviously can't reproduce super low frequencies like the large monitors in studios, but their overall sound has a sense of uniformity. So it's good to have a pair of these around.
When you compare electronic music to something like a live band, you're going to have different types of instruments and dynamics. I feel that in order to find out what sort of speakers you need for electronic music you need to know what characteristics you are after. Recently, people have been putting more emphasis on textured sound, for example.
Gonno: I think that has something to do with club systems becoming more hi-fi. That's making people focus more on the sound texture of mixes rather than arrangements. Plus, with more and more people using DAWs to mix, it's easier to do a lot with textures without getting too blurry like it might with analogue mixers and tape. But on the other hand, because everything is sounding so digital some people are intentionally recording their music on cassettes and analogue consoles to get that blurriness and distortion.
Wata Igarashi: In techno, we are seeing more DJs play digitally. When we think about how we can make tracks sound their best in clubs—in my opinion, I think it's best to make tracks sound as clean and clear as possible.
Gonno: And as a counter movement to that sort of clear sound, we're seeing things like raw house where people are intentionally making dance tracks with lo-fi aesthetics. Either way, with consumer Bluetooth speakers improving in quality, I think listeners are paying more attention to sound textures and mix balances than before. So when making music, in addition to mix balance, I think texture is important in building character.
Okuda: Mix balance is obviously important, but as an engineer I also agree that texture is vital. So for somebody that makes music, finding speakers that allow you to hear the texture you are envisioning is pivotal.
It's interesting that as PA systems and consumer speakers become more hi-fi, it's making music creators focus more on tonal textures. But even within the context of dance music, I'm sure the kind of textures people are aiming for can vary greatly between styles.
Sauce81: I've always gone for an analogue aesthetic in my music. But when I go to a gig and the PA console they have is digital, and the other acts are playing high bitrate digital tracks, there's a stark contrast between my analogue-esque sound and their digital sounds. It can sometimes change people's perception of the music. I'm not exactly sure what to do about that.
Sapphire Slows: But it's funny how vinyl records sounded great on all four monitors we tested today.
Gonno: I've done an interesting experiment at a DJ gig before. I had a repetitive track that didn't have much going on musically playing on both a CDJ and vinyl, and decided to see which version would keep more people on the dance floor. Turns out, playing the track on vinyl kept more people on the floor than the CDJ.
Okuda: I'm sure the way harmonics sound on vinyl had something to do with that. The fact that each individual sound in the recording is not too separated and kind of sticks together is one of the reasons why vinyl makes the song sound good.
Whether you're going for a crisp digital sound or a more analogue aesthetic, it's important to be able to accurately monitor the textures.
Wata Igarashi: I also think it's important to use headphones just to check.
Sapphire Slows: But it's hard to make music just on headphones. If I make music solely on headphones it's hard for me to find a good balance for vocals, for instance. Monitors are essential.
Okuda: First, you have to find a texture that you like, something that will be a standard for you. From there, you just have to find monitoring devices that align with that standard. That way, even if you switch between speakers and headphones, you have a reference. If you listen to your music on headphones and monitors and the vocals sound nothing alike, you don't know which to trust. But if you decide that your headphones will provide your standard sound, then all you have to do is seek similar textures in speakers and you'll find a pair that's right for you.
