SLUG TESTING FOR SITE CHARACTERIZATION:The Six Key Steps
Despite the popularity and frequency of slug testing, difficulties exist with design and analysis. Questions about field screening, data collection, and analysis strategies continue to challenge professionals.Sometimes these challenges emerge because of the conceptually simple nature of slug testing, poor habits or lack of meaningful training. Many challenges can be easily overcome by simply learning the six key steps that make slug testing more reliable - and easier to do with confidence.This 90 minute webinar is designed to give consulting scientists and engineers and regulators the information they need to get reliable information from slug tests. The slug test is currently the most common technique used at sites of groundwater contamination for acquiring information about the transmissive properties of subsurface units. Unfortunately, much information currently obtained from slug tests is of questionable quality as a result of inappropriate field and analysis procedures. Webinar attendees will learn the six key steps as practical guidelines that they can apply immediately to their work to significantly improve the quality of parameter estimates obtained from slug tests.Much of the field and theoretical research on slug tests over the last decade has been done by Jim Butler and colleagues. Jim's work is widely recognized by the academic, consulting, and regulatory communities as having led to significant advances in the state of the practice for slug testing.Whether you want to learn more about slug tests in material of very high hydraulic conductivity, in standard monitoring wells, direct-push installations, etc., this webinar will provide attendees with information that is not available elsewhere on the web.
Here's what people are saying about Jim's past webinar:
"All the webinars that I ordered were excellent, taught by high quality instructors. Each one addressed some (important technical) gaps. I enjoyed the webinars on the 'Hydrogeology of Aquitards and Low Permeability Materials' and the webinar on 'Slug Testing for Site Characterization'. These are important hydrologic subjects that are not usually covered in school curricula. Aquitards are important part of every groundwater project when describing the flow of groundwater in aquifers or the movement of contaminants in groundwater."- William Ford, Geohydrologist, Federal Agency
"By using real-world slug test data during the webinar, I was able to see right away how Jim Butler's guidelines improve the efficiency and confidence in hydraulic conductivity test results. The presentation's clear graphics and on-site examples made this a practical learning experience, and I will certainly be able to implement these ideas both in the field and in analysis."- Rachel McLean, AMEC Earth & Environmental
Instructors Bio
Jim Butler was the 2007 National Ground Water Association Distinguished Darcy Lecturer and the recipient of the 2009 Pioneers in Groundwater Award from the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Jim is author of many scientific papers and the popular book "The Design, Performance, and Analysis of Slug Tests," which examines a method commonly used during the investigation of ground-water-contamination sites.
Jim's research includes aquifer testing, direct push hydraulic profiling, groundwater use by phreatophytes, and interactions between surface water and groundwater. Jim holds a B.S. in geology from the College of William and Mary, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in applied hydrogeology from Stanford University.

First Published: December 5th, 2003 by Text Publishing
Genre: Non-Fiction, History
Stasiland is about people who resisted the surveillance state of East Germany, and about others who worked for the Stasi – the secret police of the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
Stasiland is written by Australian woman Anna Funder, who lived in Berlin in the late 90s and interviewed a variety of people from both sides of the GDR regime. She used classified ads to get in touch with former members of the Stasi, who she interviewed extensively. People such as those who helped to build and plan the erection of The Berlin Wall, a television presenter and host who was famous during the GDR regime, and a resistor who could have started WWIII!
I didn't realise when I started this that it was not a fictional novel. I went into it thinking it was a novel about someone living in that time, but then shortly realised that it wasn't!
I really enjoyed this book. It was really easy to digest and understand, even though I didn't fully understand to begin with what the situation was after WWII in Germany. there was a map at the beginning of the book of both West & East Germany, and a smaller one of Berlin and the wall – this really helped me in reading and understanding this book.
I found that the theme of Stasiland reflected George Orwell's 1984 which is scary! I can't imagine living in a place that is so highly regulated. I know these places exist, but it sounds terrible!
I highly recommend this book. It's short, interesting, captures attention quickly, and best of all, is TRUE!
Bits & pieces
- Winner of the BBC Four Samuel Johnson Prize
- Stasiland is being developed for the stage by The National Theatre in London.
Past reviews
'Anna Funder explores, in the most humane and sensitive way, lives blighted by the East German Stasi. She allows ex-Stasi operatives an equal chance to reflect on their achievements, and finds—to her dismay and ours—that they have learned nothing.'
— J. M. Coetzee
'Your book STASILAND: TRUE STORIES FROM BEHIND THE BERLIN WALL struck me like no other in the last five years. It is fascinating, entertaining, hilarious, horrifying and very important.'
– Tom Hanks
'Informed judgements and historical background are communicated with deceptive ease. Targeted at a broad audience, Stasiland is compelling reading.'
– Sydney Morning Herald

How funny...a great clip. When I was growing up, Instant Messaging WAS actually already in practice. You see, if my mother hung her clothes out to dry, within seconds, the neighbor two houses "up the valley" would start to hang hers out. It didn't matter what time of day, the message was sent and received quickly and efficiently. Ahhhh, progress is great.

While the history of bratwurst is difficult to trace, most historians trace the oldest reference to sausage in the ancient Greek classic The Odyssey. In it, the narrator describes "some goats' paunches down at the fire, which we have filled with blood and fat, and set aside for supper; he who is victorious and proves himself to be the better man shall have his pick of the lot." Clearly, the history of sausage originates with a desire for proper butchering, to preserve as much meat from the catch as possible.
Sausage may have its roots in ancient Greece, but it has certainly developed strong associations with German culture. According to historian Alan Davidson, the best cured sausage comes from colder mountainous regions, like Germany, where not only was food more available during cooler months, but the dry winds from the North aided in curing process. The now famous term "bratwurst" derived from the Old High German words brät ("finely chopped meat") and wurst ("sausage"), the latter likely stemming from the earlier wirren ("mixture").
In Germany, the appetite for sausage has always run deep. During the 16th century, a jailed man named Hans Stromer reportedly ate a total of 28,000 bratwursts behind bars. And famed butcher Karl Sterzing is said to have grilled more than 2 million sausages at his home between 1945 and 1985. In 2007, a historian named Hubert Erzmann discovered a yellowing piece of parchment dated to 1432 upon which was a handwritten law regarding the correct production and preservation of thuringian rostbratwurst, a popular style of sausage. This find proved the sausage preservation law stretched back even earlier than the Bavarian beer purity law of 1516, a significant claim to fame for many wurst aficionados.

#14-Potential Impacts of Accelerated Sea-Level Rise
on Developing Countries (1995) [Nicholls & Leatherman]
-Sea level rise is a major topic of discussion among coastal researchers. For developing countries, the potential impacts could be very detrimental. This JCR Special Issue focuses on many of these important impacts, which include increased coastal erosion, higher storm-surge flooding, extensive coastal inundation, and loss of cultural resources. Specifically for developing countries, whom greatly depend on coastal agricultural systems, the lasting effect can be devastating. Dr. Stephan P. Leatherman, Director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida Atlantic University, served as one of the guest editors for this insightful Special Issue.

Around the world, market leaders in all industries have already deployed managed cloud services. Seeking to use business technology as a strategic lever to advance past their competition on multiple fronts, the senior executives at these leading companies are eager to learn about the next phase of cloud service development.
Worldwide spending on public IT cloud services will reach $47.4 billion in 2013 and will reach more than $107 billion by 2017, according to the latest market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). Over the 2013–2017 forecast period, public cloud services will have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.5 percent, that's five times the IT industry growth as a whole.
As one of the key technologies enabling the industry-wide shift, cloud computing has played a crucial role in changing the way companies consume and use business technology. IDC believes that there are signs that cloud services are starting to shift into a the next phase — where the scale of cloud adoption will be much bigger and more user and solution driven.
In this phase of growth, cloud and the other 3rd Platform technologies — mobile internet, social, and Big Data — will become even more interdependent as they continue to drive growth and innovation across all industries that depend on business technology.
"The first wave of cloud services adoption was focused on improving the efficiency of the IT department," said Frank Gens, Senior Vice President and Chief Analyst at IDC. "Over the next several years, the primary driver for cloud adoption will shift from economics to innovation as leading-edge companies invest in cloud services as the foundation for new competitive offerings."
The emergence of cloud as the core for new "business as a service" offerings will accelerate cloud adoption and dramatically raise the cloud model's strategic value beyond CIOs to CXOs of all types.
An important factor driving growth in public IT cloud services spending is the expanding variety of cloud deployment options. The growing richness of these options is a clear accelerator for overall cloud services adoption.
The emergence of virtual private cloud (VPC) offerings has helped to shift momentum from dedicated private cloud offerings toward public (shared/multi-tenant) cloud offerings. By offering the attributes of public cloud (economics, scale, pace of innovation) with some of the privacy and control features associated with private cloud, VPCs are effectively addressing many of the objections that have held customers back from the cloud model.
Similarly, growing commoditization and competition is expected to bring about consolidation in basic cloud services (infrastructure as a service offerings), and will force vendors to expand their offerings toward higher value services.
While commoditization is expected to result in lower pricing and tighter profit margins, the competition will greatly expand the addressable market of solutions and customers. In order to survive, service providers will have to scale their offerings "up and out" toward a broader range — and dramatically larger number — of customers.
The growing focus on cloud services as a business innovation platform will help to drive spending on public IT cloud services to new levels throughout the forecast period. By 2017, IDC expects public IT cloud services will drive 17 percent of IT product spending and nearly half of all growth across five technology categories: applications, system infrastructure software, platform as a service (PaaS), servers, and basic storage.
Software as a service (SaaS) will remain the largest public IT cloud services category throughout the forecast, capturing 59.7 percent of revenues in 2017. The fastest growing categories will be PaaS and Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), with CAGRs of 29.7 percent and 27.2 percent, respectively.
IDC predicts that the United States will remain the largest public IT cloud services market, although its share will decline from 56.9 percent in 2013 to 43.9 percent in 2017 while Western Europe, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific will each gain share throughout the forecast. Cloud spending in emerging markets is expected to experience a CAGR of 37.3 percent for the 2013-2017 period, a rate almost twice that of developed markets.
"In this second phase of cloud development, it will be essential for cloud services providers to reexamine their cloud strategies, preparing for a marketplace focused intensely on business innovation, industry transformation, and increasingly pressured pricing and operating models," noted Gens. "How suppliers navigate the next two years will tell us a lot about who the IT market leaders will be for the next two decades."

Have you ever put room temperature personal lubricant on your partner and immediately heard "That's Freezing!"?
Have you ever had a freezing intimate moment?
My partner and I have experienced both for many years.
We tried warming up the bottles under running hot water in the sink. We tried the microwave. What a waste of time and effort, not to mention it being a big turn off when we are ready to jump in bed.
"Wait a second Honey while I get the tube of lube warm."
"Hey Sweetie, I'm still trying to get the bottle warm. Can you wait?"
So we decided to do something about it. We created Inspire™ to warm up and dispense personal sex lubricants from small packets.
How to warm personal lube:
- Put a UniTube™ inside Inspire™
- Close it, turn on Inspire™, and do 'something else' for a couple minutes
- Open the UniTube™ using the tab and press out warm lube on the spot you want warm.
After many years of hearing, "That's Freezing!", I'm pleased to now be able to say, "It's better warm!" Use Inspire™ to warm your personal sex lube.

Search Engine Optimization is the process of getting one's website to rank highly among the search engine's free organic listings. To do so, search marketers will implement specific elements into a website's code, template structure, and content in hopes of creating a site that is not only "search engine friendly", but also one that is relevant for chosen keywords.
Search Engine Optimization (often abbreviated as SEO) is the process of getting one's website to rank highly among the search engine's free organic listings. To do so, search marketers such as myself, will implement specific elements into a website's code, template structure, and content (in addition to a few off-site techniques and strategies) in hopes of creating a site that is not only "search engine friendly", but also one that appears relevant for the keywords chosen.
The ultimate goal behind search engine optimization is to rank the optimized website highly in the search results so that it may attain traffic from specifically those people interested in learning about or purchasing the products and services the site sells.
Now, without getting too in-depth and discussing the many strategies and techniques we search marketers utilize in our SEO efforts, I'll stick to the basic key ideas. When it comes to basic on-page SEO, there are 2 simplistic goals:
Goal #1: Get Found and Indexed
Providing every opportunity for search engines to find, crawl, and index your website's pages is important. This is the first part of any successful search engine optimization campaign... simply put, if the search engines can't locate or index your website's pages it can't display them in its results. Some general indexing techniques include:
- Submitting to Search Engines
- Setting up a Google Sitemap Account
- Setting up Yahoo! SiteExplorer Account
- Getting Links from other Relevant Websites
- Making your Website's Navigation Search Friendly
- Creating an Alternative Text-Link Navigation
- Creating and Embedding a General Sitemap Page
- Ensuring that your Robots.txt files are accessible
Goal #2: On-Page Optimization
Proving to the search engines that your web pages are really about what you say they are is important. This is probably the hardest part as search engines go to great lengths to ensure that their ranking system isn't gamed or tricked (spammed). However, once the search engines find your pages, never assume that they are going to be able to read, understand, and decipher it accordingly. Take a proactive effort and see to it that search engines tag/label and categorize your pages correctly in their index.
In order to convince the search engines to rank a web page according to the keywords that you've chosen for it, you must ensure that each of your page's keywords are accurately implemented throughout key areas of that page. Some general areas include:
- Page Title
- Page Meta-Description
- Page Meta-Keywords
- Headline Tags
- Alt-Tags
- Several Times throughout the Page's Content
Essentially what it comes down to is if you're claiming that a page is about say "ford mustangs" than you need to use the term "ford mustangs" on the page and where search engines can read it.

Milton Wolf Seminar
The annual Milton Wolf Seminar takes place in Vienna, Austria at the Diplomatic Academy, Vienna. Each year, Seminar panelists and participants explore a theme related to contemporary issues in media and diplomacy—both broadly defined. Since 2010, the Seminar has been jointly organized by the Center for Global Communication Studies (CGCS) at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication, the American Austrian Foundation (AAF), and the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna (DA).
Initiated in 2001, the Milton Wolf Seminar represents an effort to explore cutting edge issues facing diplomacy and international relations. It is designed to bring together a diverse group of individuals representing multiple perspectives and nationalities.
The organizers envision the Milton Wolf seminar as a meeting place for media practitioners, diplomats, academics, and students to share their perspectives, formulate new ideas, and identify areas where further research is needed. While the seminar incorporates various speakers and panels, it is designed as a two-day continuing conversation in which all participants are encouraged to openly engage in dialogue and explore potential synergies and future collaborations. In order to encourage an open exchange of ideas, seminar attendance is limited only to invited participants and selected students.
Scholarships for highly motivated students wishing to attend the seminar are available through the Milton Wolf Emerging Scholar Program. Information about previous and upcoming Seminars is available below and on our Facebook Page.

Grandma's Sweet Buttermilk Cornbread
Ingredients :
Directions :
2½ cups (420 grams) Homemade Cornbread Mix by Wicked Good Kitchen™, prepared with baking soda but omitting oil*
½ cup (1 stick/113 grams) unsalted butter, such as Land O Lakes®, melted
2 large eggs (mine weighed 101 grams total w/o shells), lightly beaten
1 cup (240 ml) organic buttermilk*
Shortening to prepare pan, such as organic palm shortening by Spectrum®
Special Equipment
8-inch square, 2-inch high cake pan, preferably nonstick
*Organic buttermilk is called for in this recipe as it is pure, all-natural and gluten-free with no wheat-derived thickeners. Because buttermilk is called for in this recipe, prepare Homemade Cornbread Mix by Wicked Good Kitchen™ with baking soda option. The oil is omitted because this recipe for cornbread calls for an entire stick of melted butter providing adequate fat. By preparing the cornbread mix without oil, it will be shelf stable and keep in the pantry. When the mix is prepared with oil, it must be stored in the refrigerator.
Arrange oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 375ºF. Lightly grease an 8-inch square metal baking pan with shortening. (I like to use my Williams-Sonoma Goldtouch® Nonstick Square Cake Pan.) Line pan with baking parchment so there is an overhang. Do this by measuring parchment about 3½ inches in length additionally at each side of pan. This will allow 1¾ inches of coverage on each end once folded and tucked in. Lightly grease parchment paper. This will create "handles" which will help removing cake from pan and to transfer to cutting board to cut into even squares after cooling.
In a large bowl, place Homemade Cornbread Mix by Wicked Good Kitchen™, prepared with baking soda but without oil. (When measuring by volume with cups, take great care to very lightly spoon mix into cup and level off for accuracy in measuring 420 grams. This is essential for this recipe. Otherwise, your cornbread will have too much mix and will be dry.) Create a well in the center.
Add butter, eggs and buttermilk to mix; blend until well combined. (I like to start with a fork then switch to a rubber spatula.) Scrape bottom and sides of of bowl with rubber spatula as necessary to ensure mixture is well combined and only a few lumps remain. Allow batter to stand for a full 3 minutes. This will allow the flours to absorb the liquids for a moist and tender crumb as well as provide a good rise. With a rubber spatula, carefully scrape and pour the lightly bubbled batter into prepared pan. Smooth top evenly with rubber spatula.
Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overbake or cornbread will be dry. Cool cake in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Transfer cake to wire rack. Turn right side up onto wire racks (using an additional rack to flip); cool. Cut into 9 large squares for serving.

Despite stress tests and house prices, most Canadians still aim to own rather than rent.
According to RBC's annual Home Ownership poll, 66% of those surveyed believe it still makes more sense to buy vs. rent.
Despite prices falling in some major market across Canada, affordability is still an issue and a top factor when choosing a home and a neighbourhood.
"While nearly all Canadians (92%) admit that mental stress is a potential impact of being house poor, almost half (47%) say it's worth the sacrifice," reads the report.
Given the shifting conditions in the real estate market, 56% of respondents said it would be better to hold off on a house purchase until next year. Of those, 45% said they would be willing up to wait two years to make their purchase—or 55% of 18- to 34-year-olds—since a majority (54%) believe house prices will continue to fall."
The survey touched on the change of home buying dynamics with more purchasers relying on help from family. Some other key points found that down payment amounts are trending upwards, 80% of those polled believe purchasing real estate is a good investment, and once of the largest concerns for first-time homebuyers is future interest rate increases.

Featuring new, in-depth interviews with White House officials, Cabinet members, and senior Congressional leaders from both parties, as well as one of the richest archives in broadcast journalism, Divided States examines how Barack Obama's promise of change and unity — and his belief in the possibility of bipartisanship — quickly collided with political realities and racially-charged resistance.
A year in the making, this epic, four-hour series tells the inside story of Obama's presidency, explores the civil war within the Republican party, and identifies turning points over the past eight years that exposed simmering divisions among the American people.
Divided States examines the roots of the partisan gridlock, populist anger, and racial tensions that charged the 2016 presidential campaign, including:
- How the popularity of Sarah Palin's anti-elite, anti-establishment message in the heartland — and disdain for it on the coasts — presaged Trump's rhetoric and its reception;
- How Obama's handling of the financial crisis fueled the rise of populist anger on both sides of the aisle — even as it also sparked economic recovery;
- How the battle over the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") sowed the seeds for years of division and the surge of the Tea Party movement, and accelerated a new political climate in which incivility towards the President wasn't just accepted, but rewarded;
- The complicated role of race during America's first black presidency: "The great irony of the Obama presidency, right, is someone who came on the mandate of changing Washington as we know it… by his very presence and by his very humanity – who he was, the color of his skin, the sound of his name – forced more polarization and gridlock than we had seen in the eight years prior," Wesley Lowery of the Washington Post tells FRONTLINE.
Ultimately, Divided States is a revelatory story not just about Barack Obama's presidency, but America itself.

'A Sea Change' follows the journey of retired history teacher Sven Huseby on his quest to discover what is happening to the world's oceans. Sven becomes obsessed with the rising acidity of the oceans and what this "sea change" bodes for humanity. His quest takes him to Alaska, California, Washington and Norway as he uncovers a worldwide crisis that most people are unaware of.
Speaking with oceanographers, marine biologists, climatologists and artists, Sven discovers that global warming is only half the story of the environmental catastrophe that awaits us. Excess carbon dioxide is dissolving in our oceans, changing sea water chemistry. The more acidic water makes it difficult for tiny creatures at the bottom of the food web to form their shells. The effects could work their way up to the fish one billion people depend upon for their source of protein.
A Sea Change is a touching portrait of Sven's relationship with his grandchild Elias. As Sven keeps a correspondence with the little boy, he mulls over the world that he is leaving for future generations. A disturbing and essential companion piece to An Inconvenient Truth, A Sea Change brings home the indisputable fact that our lifestyle is changing the earth, despite our rhetoric and wishful thinking.
A Sea Change is the first documentary about ocean acidification. Chock full of scientific information, the feature-length film is also a beautiful paen to the ocean world.
For more information consult the official website: www.aseachange.net
The screenings will be followed by a facilitated audience discussion. These will be shown at the Labia on Orange cinema in Cape Town on Sunday 24 January at 8.15pm, on Monday 25 January at 6:15pm and on Tuesday 26 January at 6:15pm.
Tickets are R20 and can be reserved by calling The Labia at (021) 424 5927. Reserving tickets is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
This event is presented by the Labia, the Sustainable Seas Trust and While You Were Sleeping, a Cape Town-based non-profit film collective committed to bringing progressive, non-mainstream documentaries with important social and environmental messages to South African audiences.

Time's Arrow Photography
The Photography of Ben Faresich
I've always been fascinated with the way the camera could capture a single moment and freeze it in time. My passion for traveling and exploring, both locally and afar, combined with my fascination with history and culture, presents me with some very colorful views of the human condition, and the natural world. Whether it's a majestic view of an Icelandic mountain range, a Brahmin priest praying on the banks of the Ganges, or a dancer reveling in the New York City night life, the lens affords us all a glimpse into the world around us, shared universally, but not often appreciated. I enjoy using the camera as a tool to share some of these moments with the hope that others can appreciate them, and take a moment of their own to stop and see.
Some of my biggest influences are Art Wolfe, Bryan Peterson, Peter Lik, Alfred Stieglitz, and so many of the talented photographers and artists that I've met through the years.
My work has been featured regularly in Sanctuary Magazine as a staff photographer, and it has been featured in Carpe Nocturne magazine, and Examiner.com. My night club photography is a part of the web design for QXT's, a night club in Newark, NJ, where I am also the house event photographer.
My photo, "Incan Mystery" was featured as the cover image for the Program Guide for the 24th Annual Grace Van Vorst Cathedral Arts Festival in December, 2013.
Exhibitions include the Parallax Art Fair (New York & Miami), The Digable Arts Festival, The Hoboken Artists Studio Tour, The Grace Van Vorst Cathedral Arts Festival, The Bayonne Community Museum, and The Meadowlands Environmental Center. I also curate the QXT's Art Series, which is a monthly art exhibition held at QXT's in Newark, NJ. Click on the YouTube link below for videos and information about these events.

Previous in-vivo studies showed that compressive force acting on the spine may exceed 2600 N. However, the ligamentous lumbar spine becomes unstable when subjected to compressive loads less than 100 N. It is generally accepted that the ligamentous spine itself is unstable but can be stabilized by muscle forces (MFs) in vivo. Nevertheless, normal spinal muscle contraction patterns remain unknown.
In recent in vitro studies, when the direction of the applied load was controlled along the spinal curvature so that the internal spinal load became perfect compressive follower loads (CFLs) at all lumbar levels, the ligamentous lumbar spine was found to withstand large compressive load (up to 1200 N) without buckling while maintaining its flexibility in neutral or flexed postures. The results of in-vivo animal studies also have shown that shear stress has a more detrimental effect on the rate of disc degeneration compared to compressive stress. These results suggest CFLs in the lumbar spine would be a normal spinal load whereas the transverse (or shear) load abnormal. An initial test of this postulation would be to investigate whether the spinal muscles can create perfect internal CFLs in the lumbar spine in all 3-D postures. In addition, small intrinsic muscles (SIMs) are crucial for better control of the direction of the internal spinal load along the spinal axis was also proposed.
A finite element (FE) model together with an optimization model were used for this study. Both models consist of the trunk, sacrolumbar spine and 244 spinal muscles. Different from other studies, 54 SIMs were also included in the models. The FE model was validated by comparing the ROM of the spine with the literature data. Minimization of the summation of the spinal loads and moments was used as the cost function for the optimization model. The geometrical data obtained from the FE model was used as the input for the optimization model; it was then used to calculate the MFs required for creating the CFLs at all lumbar spine levels. The MFs determined in the optimization model were then imported back to the FE model as input loads to check the stability of the spine under this loading condition. Five different postures were studied: neutral, flexion 40°, extension 5°, lateral bending 30° and axial rotation 10°.
Many optimization solutions for spinal muscle force combinations creating pure CFLs in the lumbar spine were found available in each posture. However, FE analyses showed that only muscle forces and patterns solved at FLPs along the curve in the vicinity of the baseline curve stabilized the lumbar spine. Stability was determined by small displacement of the trunk (less or equal to 5mm) due to small deformation of the lumbar spine. The magnitudes of joint reaction forces (JRFs) predicted from the optimization model were comparable to those reported in the literature. When the SIMs were removed, optimization solutions were still feasible in all five postures, but JRFs and trunk displacement were increased. This suggests the need of SIM inclusion in future spine biomechanics studies and clinically, damages to the SIMs may have a high risk of future spinal problems, such as spinal instability, early disc degeneration, deformity and/or early failure of spinal fixation devices.
The results from this study supported the hypothesis that the perfect CFLs at all lumbar levels could be the normal physiological load under which the lumbar spinal column could support large load without buckling while allowing flexibility. SIMs played an important role in creating CFLs as by including SIMs in the models, the JRFs at all lumbar spine levels were lowered and the stability of the spine was increased.
Public Abstract
About 80% of adults suffer low back pain (LBP) during their lifetime and this affects the socioeconomic system as billions of dollars are spent on healthcare each year because of it. Although LBP causes such socioeconomic burden to the society, the mechanics of the spine remain unknown. It is unclear what the normal spinal muscle contraction patterns and the normal spinal loads are during daily activities. It is also unclear what mechanics are used for the spine to stay stable and flexible. Without answering these, treatment and prevention of LBP remain challenging.
This research investigated the normal spinal load and normal muscle contraction patterns. It is proposed that the compressive axial forces - forces that are perpendicular to the cross-sectional area of each lumbar spinae, are normal; while shear forces, forces that are parallel to the cross-sectional area of the spinae, are abnormal. Since joint spinal loads are mainly caused by the spinal muscles, mathematical and computational methods were used in this study to check whether it is feasible for the spinal muscles to create only axial forces on the lumbar spine joint during various postures.
It was found that it is feasible for spinal muscles to create only axial force on the lumbar spine, thus it can be concluded that pure axial compressive load can be the normal spinal load. If this is true, the spinal muscle contraction patterns can be predicted and the prevention and treatment of LBP can be significantly improved.

Blue Ridge Parkway
Blue Ridge Parkway © Ken Thomas
Designed as a scenic drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway is a 469-mile (755km) road connecting the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the North Carolina-Tennessee border.
Running through the Southern Appalachians, most of the roadway follows the spine of the Blue Ridge Range and providing stunning scenery and magnificent vistas of distant mountain peaks. It twists and turns through mountainous country that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Created in 1935 to link the parks and also to provide employment during the Great Depression, today it attracts more than 20 million visitors annually. Its main attraction is the endless dramatic viewpoints overlooking forested mountains and valleys, and the rich autumn colours that blaze in October.
The road also provides access to many hiking trails, including a section of the Appalachian Trail that follows the parkway from Mile 0 to Mile 103, as well as unusual rock formations, impressive waterfalls, wild flowers, lakes, and camping and picnic sites.
Along the way are visitor centres, restaurants, food stalls, and modern lodgings nestled in striking mountain scenery. The parkway's highest elevation of 6,047ft (1,843m) at Richland Balsam Overlook has magnificent views.

As I mentioned in one of my first blog posts, I firmly believe (and am quite opinionated about it, in fact) that the "Key to Easy" when it comes to Bible study is having the "right" Bible study software. By "right," I not only mean software with a great interface, powerful features and a robust library of books to choose from, but the "right" one for you.
Before, I tell you about the five Bible software libraries I own and how I use (or seldom use) each and why, I want to give you a quick user profile of me.
I've been a Christian since making the decision to accept Jesus as my Savior and give Him control of my life as a little kid. After college, (a State college, not a seminary or Bible school), I went into the "mission field" of the business world. While I have been involved in lay ministry off-and-on since college, only recently have I formally made the transition into ministry vocationally, as a Director of Ministry (and Director of IT) at a local church.
So, with that "church-employed layperson, serious Bible 'student,' adult Sunday school teacher" background in mind, here are the Bible software programs I own:
WORDSEARCH (www.wordsearchbible.com)
- Started With: Their "Discipleship Library," a selection of Bibles and study resources specifically designed for laypersons. (It was the first Bible software I purchased about 10 years ago.)
- Since Then: Have purchased many additional resources, primarily through bundled packages and frequent sales of books.
- Why I Own It: Great interface; Truly makes Bible study easy; Able to build growing library at reasonable cost.
- How Often I Use It: Frequently; In addition to resources for Bible study, I own and read a number of "Christian Living" books in the WORDsearch format.
LOGOS (www.logos.com)
- Started With: Their "Bible Study Library," a solid selection of Bibles and study resources specifically designed for laypersons who are "serious" students of the Bible. (Logos currently offers nine different Bible software library packages.)
- Since Then: Have upgraded to the "Leadership Library" and purchased many additional resources, primarily through their "pre-publication" discount program and their occasional sales of books.
- Why I Own It: Their "passage guide" is the most powerful study tool built into a software package, in my opinion; While the rest of the interface was a bit confusing and complicated in places, the most recent version of their software (version 4) has for the most part fixed that.
- How Often I Use It: Frequently; When I am looking at really digging into a specific verse or passage of the Bible, this is where I start.
QUICKVERSE (www.quickverse.com)
- Started With: Their "Deluxe" Bible study library, a good selection of Bibles (except the NIV, which Quickverse charges extra for) and fairly large amount of study resources, although many are "public domain," meaning I could find them free online.
- Since Then: Upgraded to their "Platinum" library through a VERY affordable upgrade special offer. Also purchased their "Sermon Builder" software.
- Why I Own It: When I first bought QuickVerse years ago, it was relatively inexpensive; In the few times I have upgraded, it has been for selected resources, such as books of quotes and illustrations.
- How Often I Use It: Seldom, as I find the library value limited and don't care for their "ribbon interface"; When I want to tap into my biggest library of quotes and illustrations, and if/when I want to explore the writings of authors whose work is now in "public domain" and not in my other libraries.
PC STUDY BIBLE (www.biblesoft.com)
- Started With: Their stand-alone "Pulpit Commentary Library" product. (Didn't have that resource and got it cheap off ebay.)
- Since Then: Upgraded to their "New Reference Library" (again, through a special promotion offer). Also purchased their "Contemporary Christian Classics Collection," which is a 30-book assortment of the books I read and enjoyed in hard copy in my younger days, including "Out of the Saltshaker and Into the World."
- Why I Own It: Essentially just for the ability to have electronic access to the resources highlighted above.
- How Often I Use It: Rarely; Never for true searching and "study"; used to spend time in selected resources on occasion, but the fact that Biblesoft has still not upgraded their core software to "play nice" with Windows 7 has now made that impossible on my primary-use computer.
GLO (www.globible.com)
- Started With: Actually purchased the basic Glo Bible software for my wife, but found it to be a "resource hog" on her machine, so I adopted it.
- Since Then: Nothing really. Glo doesn't have add-ons, like the other software libraries, and probably isn't even "Bible study software" if you want to get technical.
- Why I Own It: Like I said, I bought it for my wife; I keep it on my machine more for the possibility that I might use it more someday, as it really does do a great job of helping people visually explore and experience the Bible and Bible times through a variety of multimedia.
- How Often I Use It: Occasionally/rarely; This software has pretty much been limited to helping me better visualize some of my Sunday School teaching topics, when appropriate. That may change with Glo's partnership with YouVersion (a phone/tablet Bible app) and other new strategic uses.
So, in summary, I personally frequently use, greatly benefit from and truly enjoy both WORDsearch Bible Software and Logos Bible Software. I also own, but use on a very limited basis, mainly for specific needs and projects, the QuickVerse, PC Study Bible and Glo Bible software products. That's my Bible software story and I'm sticking to it.

Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Won the Academy Award for the Best Documentary Short of 1954. The subject deals with the children at The Royal School for the Deaf in Margate, Kent.
1955 | Winner: Best Documentary, Short Subjects
1955 | Nominee: Best Documentary Film
A non-condescending and unsentimental short, perhaps made possible in the wake of 1952's Mandy. The decision to focus on the children's faces is a small triumph of simplicity.
As with Granada TV's Seven-Up you wonder what happened to the children afterwards - although with Apted's repeat visits you sometimes wish you didn't know, so maybe not. Society can be tough enough without additional disability.
so great and touching <3
Should I rub it off?

Julie's first teacher, Roma Prima Bohachevsky:
"In my thirty years of teaching, I've never had such a remarkable student. Julie radiated with outstanding talent and had such a beautiful personality. She was so shy and modest about her talent and never took anything for granted. She was a very hard worker and always tried her best. Her concentration and awareness in the class were so great that she readily absorbed corrections and instructions, which enhanced her talent. She loved to play with and help other children, and they loved her."
New York City Ballet children's choreographer, David Richardson:
"I've worked with many children from the School of American Ballet who appear with the New York City Ballet. They all were special to me and some stood out more than others. Julie was one. She first appeared in the Polichinelle dance from "The Nutcracker". Extremely advanced for her age, she shared this dance with girls two and three years older. As a young artist, she immediately caught my eye as a serious devoted dancer with the dedication to perfection that their career dictates. Her swift continued improvement saw her graduate from one ballet after another in the specialized repertoire for children at City Ballet. In each ballet she met this commitment with her own lovely style. Julie possessed a radiance that could have been formed into a future professional dancer. I'm grateful I shared a few years with her talent."
Nanette Charisse, teacher at Harkness House:
"The first time I met Julie was at Harkness House- where I taught a professional class- she was nine years old at the time- the only child in the class- but in spite of her Alice in Wonderland appearance she showed an awareness beyond her years- so receptive to all corrections- great sensitivity to all the finer points of technique- insight and a real hunger to learn. Although she was able to accomplish the more difficult steps and follow complicated variations, there was an innocence with it all very becoming to her years. Her presence was always an inspiration to the whole class- and certainly, I have as her teacher been repaid many times over. What more can a teacher ask than to see what they are teaching take on such beautiful form as when Julie danced!"
Anne Hebard, choreographer, and teacher at David Howard studio:
"It was always a joy to have Julie in class. A very talented young dancer who contributed as much to her classes with her enthusiasm, energy, and love of dancing. Julie was a very special child who will be remembered not only for her dancing but for her loving and generous spirit which was evident in everything she did."
Teachers Oleg Briansky and Mireille Briane:
"Julie was an exceptionally talented student with the proper attributes of a distinctive ballet dancer. Her strong technique, her drive, and vitality were quite remarkable for her age. During my teaching sessions in Saratoga Springs and in New York, I noticed her total dedication to ballet and the intense concentration in classes. Her progress was noteworthy. I grew equally fond of her, both as a dancer and as a delightful young person. It is a tragedy that the promise of Julie's talent has not been fulfilled."
Rev. Adolfo Calovini:
"Julie was kindness, gentleness, and strength. So young and so mature, a beautiful revelation of God. The maturity of your kindness, strength, and beauty will dance in our souls till the day we will be with you."
In the words of Julie's mother and father:
"She has always been courageous with hope, she trusted us. She felt deeply loved. Before she became ill she tried to be excellent in everything – in school, in friendship, in ballet. During her illness she continued to be devoted, dedicated, concentrated in everything she was doing. She wanted to please people; she wanted to do her best for nurses, doctors and friends. She tried to make things easy for everybody, even though her body was in terrible pain. Her last words were, "I love you, mom & dad."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Chris Dailey recalls sitting next to Mickie DeMoss as both watched prospects at a high school gym in 1995, not that long after UConn won its first national championship by defeating Tennessee in the final. DeMoss, then an assistant with the Lady Vols, mentioned to longtime Huskies assistant Dailey that Tennessee was going to need to make some changes in style of play.
"I tell you," DeMoss says now, as both coaches are about to be inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in a class of seven this weekend, "you would have to be some kind of idiot to not try to learn from somebody who just beat you. I thought Geno [Auriemma] and UConn were ahead of the curve on a lot of things; they could beat us at our own game sometimes. They could figure out how to use some of your own strengths against you."
These were the kinds of conversations DeMoss and Dailey could have out on the recruiting trail: frank and funny, without any of the rancor that eventually enveloped the UConn-Tennessee rivalry and the larger-than-life personalities leading both programs: Auriemma and the late Pat Summitt.
Those two legends are in the Hall of Fame here in Knoxville, just two miles from Tennessee's Thompson-Boling Arena. And it seems fitting that Dailey and DeMoss would be the first to be inducted here for their accomplishments as assistants.
They were there on opposite sides on that January day in 1995 when the UConn-Tennessee series began. They've been through the many twists and turns since. And now, they are going into the Hall of Fame at the same time.
And as much as they are associated with Auriemma and Summitt, both have their own distinct personalities and legacies as coaches.
Dailey is the New Jersey native who, after brief stints as an assistant at Cornell and her alma mater, Rutgers, went to UConn with Auriemma in 1985 and never left. DeMoss is from Louisiana, and she has traveled around more, including time as a head coach at Florida and Kentucky.
Dailey is known for her precision and attention to detail, something Auriemma said she has maintained without fail throughout their time working together. But she said she has evolved in how she communicates those things to players.
"I do think I see the gray areas a little better now," Dailey said, smiling. "I still have that competitiveness, and believe there is a certain way that things should be done. And I haven't let up on that. But I've found different ways to get kids to follow that.
"You don't have to beat someone over the head to get them to do what you want them to do. When you're young, maybe you think you need to do that. But you get older, and you learn to use a little more finesse."
She's also an "enforcer," if you will, of the Huskies' professional way of appearing in public, talking to the media and interacting with fans. But Dailey does that in a way that players realize is about looking out for their future. Ask just about any Huskies player of the past 30-plus years, and she'll likely credit "CD" profusely for all that Dailey taught her beyond basketball.
The players remain close to Dailey long after they've left Storrs. She said that has been of the things she most enjoys about doing this job for so long.
Same goes for DeMoss. She acknowledges that her time as a head coach taught her that there were just aspects of that job that she was not as comfortable with. DeMoss has a personality that can fill a room; she can make anyone laugh with her mixture of Southern witticisms and wry wisecracks.
She was really a perfect complement to Summitt during the span from 1985 to 2003, when Tennessee won six of its eight NCAA titles. The cliché of good cop/bad cop greatly oversimplifies how they interacted with players. But it's accurate enough shorthand for explaining how DeMoss deftly filled in with some softness and humor when situations called for it.
"You didn't need two bad cops with Pat," DeMoss said. "Pat was a stern disciplinarian, and as an assistant, you figure out what's needed. If Pat was getting on the players pretty hard, you knew they didn't need every staff member getting on them like that."
DeMoss took Florida's head-coaching job in 1979 after two seasons as an assistant at Memphis State. DeMoss wasn't quite 24 at the time; it was just a few years after her Louisiana Tech playing career. She left the Gators after four seasons and returned to the assistant ranks, first at Auburn for two years, and then for nearly two decades at Tennessee.
By the time, DeMoss tried head coaching again, at Kentucky in 2003, she was older, wiser and had a reputation as a great recruiter. But after four years with the Wildcats, she was firmly convinced that being an assistant was really what she was best-suited to do. She was at Texas for three years working for Gail Goestenkors, and then got the call from Summitt to come back to Tennessee in 2010. The next year, Summitt was diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type, and her last season on the bench was 2011-12.
That summer of 2012, DeMoss joined Lin Dunn's staff with the Indiana Fever, and helped them win a WNBA championship that year.
"I learned so much in the WNBA," DeMoss said. "It really took my thinking about basketball to another level."
When Summitt's son, Tyler, got the head coaching job at Louisiana Tech in 2014, DeMoss returned to her alma mater to be an assistant for him. DeMoss said at the time, she was struggling a lot emotionally with how Pat Summitt's health was declining rapidly, and felt joining Tyler would be the best way she could help Pat.
But then Tyler Summitt resigned in 2016 after an inappropriate relationship, and DeMoss thought her career was perhaps done. She was sad and disappointed, but then LSU's Nikki Fargas called. Fargas, a former Tennessee standout and assistant coach, had previously worked with DeMoss with the Lady Vols.
"Nikki said, 'You don't want to end your career like this,' and I said, 'You're right,' " DeMoss said. "So I went to LSU. And that was a good thing for me. ... My path, maybe in some ways it seems sporadic, but there was always a reason."
DeMoss won't be coaching at LSU this coming season; at age 62, she said she needs to take a break and evaluate what the future might hold. She complimented Dailey on how she and Auriemma have maintained their success, saying, "They're still rolling. They might go another 10 years."
Dailey often has been asked why she has remained at UConn, despite multiple opportunities to be a head coach elsewhere. There were always more reasons to stay, Dailey said, than to leave.
She has been an integral part of all 11 of UConn's NCAA titles, the 111- and 90-game winning streaks, the parade of superstars from Rebecca Lobo to Sue Bird to Diana Taurasi to Maya Moore to Breanna Stewart.
That doesn't mean Dailey hasn't had any second thoughts about the roads not taken. Or wondered if her identity was too closely entwined with Auriemma's. Because as much as they are on the same page, she is most definitely her own person.
"Now I'm at a point in my life where I know it's OK to really enjoy what you do," Dailey said. "I feel comfortable in that. If I never leave, there's something to be said for being at the same place for so long, and maybe Geno and I riding off into the sunset together."
Those relatively few times when Dailey did think about taking a head-coaching job elsewhere, one of the people she talked to was DeMoss.
"There's always been a respect between us, because there haven't been many assistant coaches who've been in the position that we have for so long," Dailey said. "Building a program, getting to the top, and then trying to stay there year after year ... and all the things that come with that. Mickie had already experienced it, and then I went through it. We were always willing to have those conversations with each other."

"Every year," writes Patricia Vigderman, "on her birthday, April 14, a Mass is still said in the chapel she installed on the third floor of that palace. I attended the seventy-ninth performance of the ritual, where I sat beside a long wooden carving that unfurls the injunction to say only good of the dead. I heard the little bells, smelled the incense; around me were prayers responses, sunlight and quiet, the fountain splashing in the courtyard below. Se monumentum requires, circumspice, said the priest. He was referring to Christopher Wren and his St. Paul's Cathedral in London, but also to the woman in whose house we were sitting. We have to thank her, he concluded cheerfully, for giving us something to talk about."

For those that follow me on Twitter, you'll know that just recently moved to a new apartment and started a new full-time job.
Unfortunately, this means that I've had no time to write. So, once again, I have nothing to present you with this week. Rest assured I do have some ideas to kick around.
As always, I thank you for your patience.

Does anyone know a way (plugins or similar) to offload media (images mostly) in wordpress to an external service? like flicker, or imageshak?
I think that offloading images from the wordpress installation increase significantly the mante the maintainability of your site, and not mentioning the speeding up of the backupping process!
One sad note is that many themes need the images on the same server to create thumbnails for post previews, while I thinks a better approach would be to create temporary made up files of the images.
