Records in the genre typically feature drum machines and heavy electronic sounds, usually without vocals, although if vocals are present they are delivered in a deadpan manner, often through electronic distortion such as vocoding and talkboxing. This is the main distinction between electro and previously prominent genres such as disco, in which the electronic sound was only part of the instrumentation. It also palpably deviates from its predecessor boogie for being less vocal-oriented and more focused on electronic beats produced by drum machines.play_arrow

These standards have evolved throughout the decades, meaning that some older examples of lo-fi may not have been originally recognized as such.

The music originally had a clean and minimal production style that was associated with techno from Detroit and the UK.play_arrow

Rod Library has started adding both the Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science (JIAS) and the Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science (PIAS) to UNI ScholarWorks. This joint effort between the Iowa Academy of Science, headquartered on the UNI campus, and Rod Library will eventually make most volumes available to the public. While UNI ScholarWorks now holds volumes from 1965 through 2009, volumes dating back to 1897 will become accessible by the end of the project.
The Perfect Solution
The process of digitizing these journals began when Ellen Neuhaus, digital scholarship librarian, first made contact with Craig Johnson, executive director of the Iowa Academy of Science, at a UNI Connexus event. The Iowa Academy of Science had digital copies of both the JIAS and the PIAS but lacked an adequate platform to make them available for the public to discover. At the time, Ellen was in the process of implementing UNI ScholarWorks, which has a journal publishing capability that was a perfect fit for the digitized versions of these journals. The two decided to team up and agreed that the Iowa Academy of Science would supply the digitized issues, and Rod Library would add them to UNI ScholarWorks to make them discoverable and freely accessible to a worldwide audience.
Creating a User-Friendly Format
To increase the searchability of the articles in these journals, Rod Library decided that instead of supplying the journals as one large, single-volume file, it would be better to add each article individually to UNI ScholarWorks in a journal format. This method provides a way for users to quickly search the web and link directly to a relevant JIAS or PIAS article within UNI ScholarWorks. Since Rod Library is working with annual volumes dating back to 1897, it means that this will be a long-term, ongoing project. However, it is already apparent that this extra effort is paying off. Since March 2017, JIAS and PIAS articles have received over 3,800 downloads from 98 different countries.
The digitization of these publications in UNI ScholarWorks just one example of the many ways that Rod Library is striving to make previously hard-to-access scholarship available to a worldwide audience.

Category Archives: Non-Compete Agreements
Over this past year I have had several clients who left a job and came to me because they had signed a non-compete agreement with their former employer. These individuals were concerned that the noncompete agreements they had signed would prevent them from getting new jobs. This concern was valid as non-compete agreements may be enforceable in Arizona depending on the facts of each case.
Courts analyze the enforceability of non-competes by looking mostly at the reasonableness of three main features of the provision: its duration; its geographic scope; and the activity it restricts. For instance, a non-compete might say that an employee cannot compete with her former employer for six months which is more likely to be enforced by a court than a five year limitation. Next, a non-compete might say that an employee cannot compete with the former employer within five miles of the former employer's office which is more likely to be enforced by a court than if the non-compete says that the employee cannot work anywhere in the United States (and therefore the employee needs to move to another country to find work! ). Finally, a non-compete that says for example that a pulmonologist cannot practice pulmonology for a certain time limit and in an certain area is more likely to be enforced than a non-compete that says the person cannot practice medicine in Arizona for the next year (and therefore that doctor has to enter a whole new field if he wants to stay in Arizona).
To know when the courts will or won't enforce a non-compete agreement is not easy. Many clients think that a form used in one business will work for another – but that's not the case. Because so much depends on the facts of each situation, if you are ever presented with a non-compete agreement or are an employer thinking about having an employee sign a non-compete agreement, you should strongly consider having an experienced employment lawyer review the agreement with you to determine the agreement's strength and enforceability. Otherwise, you could end up in an unwanted lawsuit. At Hymson Goldstein & Pantiliat, PLLC, we have several lawyers that are well-versed and experienced in employment law and non-compete agreements who have argued appeals on this issue that can help you understand and avoid the pitfalls of such an agreement.

… at the ROP traffic police office in Qurum. The window, for women only, being 'manned' by women, had 2 male customers! OTOH, he 'did' have his wife/a female with him, I suppose.
Lately, I've noticed that seeing the tiny queues and exclusive counters for women, some men just melt into the background and send the womenfolk to get whatever done. I've seen this happening at ticket counters and a lot at govt. offices. What gives? Is this ok?
P.S. Is it allowed to take photos in govt. public service offices?

The Great Wall of China - Day 6 is the sixth level of The Great Wall of China in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars.
- The new Talisman Zombie can use his skill to deal double damage to the plant in front of him, so the player should be careful.
- The Spear Thrower Zombies, which has low health, is a long-ranged attacker, and the Broadsword Zombies, which is a melee attacker, but has high health, so the player should be careful or they may lose their health. They should use defensive plants such as Wall-nut as protection for their plants.
- The Great Wall Catapult Zombie can attack 3 plants at once, so the player should be careful.
- The two small numbers next to the zombie icon means that zombie will appear there, with the small number on the left displays the lane that the zombie will appear, and the one on the right displays the column that the zombie will appear. If there's only one small number next to the zombie icon, then it means that that zombie appears at the beginning of the lawn, and at the lane that the number displays. Example: 3-5 means that a Basic Zombie will appear in the third lane, at the fifth column. Note that this only displays the position of the zombies that have the most chance to happen.

Sparky Thermal Dehydrator, a Social Enterprise by a team of our scholars is now officially operating in Mbale District changing lives of many Farmers. Thanks to the Resolution Project, The MasterCard Foundation and the mastermind group of young, brilliant minds zelous to create change in their community. Kayiza Isma, Okettayot Lawrence, Nsubuga Thomas and Morris Esther Opiyo.
Enabling farmers to effectively dry large quantities of produce – allowing for bulk production and reducing food waste.
"We were thinking aloud, asking ourselves, how come the sun dries things but not a charcoal stove?"
In Mbale, Uganda, food preservation can be difficult because weather conditions are often so unpredictable, making it hard for farmers to adequately process and store large harvests. The Sparky Thermal Dehydrator team won the Resolution Social Venture Challenge for their dehydrator, providing a solution for farmers who are losing crops before they can be sold."

FRISCO, Colo. -- Colorado Parks and Wildlife is asking for the public's help in identifying a man pictured standing within feet of an angry moose in Frisco.
The man in the photo allegedly chased the moose onto a median of the road Friday afternoon in the 900 block of 10 Mile Drive in Frisco, officials said.
CPW said that someone driving by took the photo.
"It is very evident from the photo that the moose is angry, and the man could easily have been attacked and injured, or possibly killed," said District Wildlife Manager Elissa Slezak of Summit County.
"You can clearly see that the moose's ears are pinned back and its hackles are raised," Slezak said. "It is likely this person does not realize how much danger he put himself in, or maybe he does not care. We hope a conversation with this individual can help him understand the danger involved."
Slezak says the moose may have to be put down.
CPW officials said that moose do not attack people unprovoked but will defend themselves aggressively if they feel threatened or harassed.
Officials say the man in the photo could be cited for harassment of wildlife if he is identified.It is against the law to feed wild animals in the state and locals say its usually tourists who get dangerously close.
In the past couple of years as many as eight people have been injure by moose in Colorado.
They are being spotted more often in populated areas.
Anyone with information can remain anonymous by calling Operation Game Thief at 877-265-6648. Rewards are available if the information leads to an arrest or citation.

Banchory Beer Festival returns for a its second 'Beer @ the Barn' event which is running from the 12th - 13th of February 2016. Held indoors at the Woodend Barn in Banchory, the festival will showcase a unique selection of beers, ciders, gins and rums, supporting local and national producers with quality, artisan products at the heart of their business'.
After attending its sister festival; Inverurie Beer Festival last September, I was pretty chuffed to get the opportunity to attend Aberdeen's first 2016 beer festival of the year.
Getting a sneak peek into the festivals offering, I've pulled together a list of my top five things to try at Banchory Beer Festival this year...
1. Porter's Gin:
This will be the first festival the Aberdeen-made gin will be exhibiting at, showcasing one of the finest gins in town. After attending the official launch of the gin, this is definitely something you'll want to get your lips around.
2. Dark Matter Distillers:
Returning for a second year, Scotland's first ever distilled rum will be teasing the tastebuds of those budding festivalgoers looking for something a little different to sample at the festival . In my opinion, best served with ginger beer/ginger ale or Summerhouse Fizz hint o'mint lemonade. Divine.
3. Cromarty Brewing Co:
After sampling the breweries Rogue Wave craft beer (which was pretty wicked if I do say so myself - a very hoppy pale ale) at a another Aberdeen craft beer festival, I urge you to check these guys out. A family run business based in Cromarty, these guys have a serious passion for the brewing industry and have mastered the art of perfecting craft beer.
4. Isle of Harris Gin:
Another newbie to the UK mainland festival scene. This gin is said to have a great balance of flavours between bitter juniper and pine, and the sweet fruity flavours of mango, grapefruit and orange. A gin I've never tried, although, I'm very much looking forward to enjoying a tipple or two! Distillers of this sensational gin suggest it's best served with Walter Gregor's Scottish Tonic (yet another I need to try), a few drops of their sugar kelp aromatic water, and should be garnished with red grapefruit to a wedge of fresh lime.
Local Aberdeen city and shire bands, because what's not to love about local people producing sweet, sweet music and serenading a bunch of festivalgoers? With acts including The Sunshine Social, The Liver Conditions, Full Fat and the Funky Pieces as well as The Mat Ferret Band, you Banchory Beer Festival newcomers are in for a treat.
The festival will also play host to over 15 beers from breweries such as St Andrews Brewing Co Six Degrees North, Alechemy Brewing and a few others. There will also be six ciders to sample and local catering business, Hudson's Catering, will be serving up a wide rage of flavoursome curries as well as Indian finger food.
Tickets to the festival can be purchased online here: http://www.banchorybeerfestival.com/tickets.php. But hurry, the festival sold out of tickets last year so get them whilst you can!
For Now...

Inspired by the character "Schmidt" from the popular sitcom, New Girl, we have a fun little tradition around the office at SmartBear headquarters called the "DB Jar" where participating colleagues can "jar" one another (fine them a dollar) for a seriously bad pun, joke or outrageously silly idea.
Naturally, the majority of our jar-able offenses tend to be software-related. So, this holiday season, we thought we'd share some of our most "edgy" and skin crawlingly bad software-themed zingers of the year, and invite everyone in on the fun!
We invite you to call us out on our lame-o humor and vote for the joke, pun or meme that you think is most deserving of a DB Jar fine - be it your favorite that you love to hate the most, or one you find so bad the lameness might just keep you up at night. Don't worry, you won't hurt our feelings, we know it's all in good fun :)
Simply click on the image of the DB Jar on any page of the slideshare above to vote, and for every "Jar" (vote) we receive on social we will donate $1 to code.org to help raise money to support the next generation of great application builders!
Enjoy, and happy holidays!

We will be performing at the Krannert Center for Performing Arts in Illinois on October 3-4!
CD Release of the Music of MU!
On the night of the world premiere of MU, First Voice released the soundtrack of the music of MU. You can purchase it at our website store here
The score for MU, written by Emmy-award winning composer Mark Izu, lifts off from his handwritten graphic notation, a melding of his love of jazz and ancient Japanese music, and the live improvisation of musicians who have worked together for years.
These include Izu playing the sho, an ancient Japanese court instrument which has 17 pipes and 15 reeds, and requires strong lungs to produce its haunting, atonal notes. The score also calls for three types of Japanese drum, a 13- and a 17-string koto, the shakuhachi bamboo flute and four Western instruments: the double bass, trap drums, saxophone and flute. Percussive sounds emit from a thumb piano, a beaded gourd, a Chinese opera gong filled with ball bearings and handcrafted drum mallets which, when rubbed on drums and koto strings, create a sad cry that strikes Izu as the sound of a whale crying.

Hey guys! I know I have been MIA for the past couple of months, but you know how life is…The purpose of this post is for me to share a few things with you all and hopefully gain some insight from you as well…
First, I am in the process of looking for a new job, which is a job in and of itself. I have been at my job for 9 years, which is a long time to just pick up and leave. But at the same time, I am all about progression and growth so I can't just keep sitting here waiting for things to change. I have to move it along. As a side hustle, I have been considering going to school so that I can get my nail technician license. You all know how much I love nails! So I am looking into that at the moment as well.
Second, I have been thinking a lot about doing a lifestyle blog similar to this one, but I would discuss books, fashion, relationships, fitness, home décor, etc. Basically, things that I am interested in. Each subject having its own section. Sometimes I just feel like I am so restricted as to what I can talk about here. If I can figure out how to leave this blog in tact and add various categories then I may do that as opposed to completely changing my domain. My problem is that I have so many ideas, they sometimes get jumbled together and I have a hard time just making a decision.
Third, I have been reading like nobody's business. Lol…Young Adult, New Adult, Adult Contemporary, etc. And I am officially addicted to Booktube (Youtube videos that are all about books!). I have come across a lot of literature I wouldn't have known about otherwise. It's crazy! You guys can follow me on Goodreads if you're interested in what I am reading.
Lastly, I am hoping that you all could tell me what you would like to see here on the blog…My nail posts are usually pretty popular so I will continue to do those. I'd also like to continue to do my Fashionable Reads series. What else do you all want to see? I received a request to discuss my hair routine so I plan to do a post on that as well. But I need some help here…Please give me some feedback on what you all would like to see on the blog so that I can add it to my plans. It's been almost 5 months and I miss blogging…I miss interacting with you guys!
Anyway, I hope all is well with everyone and I'll be seeing you in my next post! xx

'Tis the Season
Posted November 13, 2007on:
To give! As we're all focusing on what to get our loved ones for Christmas, families all over the world are focusing on how they will eat tomorrow or how they will get clean water for their family. You know, as a mom, my children are my first priority. I am also struck by the need to help another mother provide for her families basic needs. Worldvison.com is a wonderful website that allows YOU as a family or individual provide much needed help for a family or child in need. You can provide an alpaca or a share of an alapaca for an Peruvian or Ecuadorian family or you could help to build a well for many impoverished communities. What a great gift to give! When you purchase a gift through The Hunger Site store, every item you purchase sends at least 25 cups of food to the hungry! This site offers beautiful jewelry, clothing, pottery, and many other gifts.
Do you know someone how has everything? Like your father in law? or that aunt who seems to have too much of everything? Why not provide $325 worth of necessities to an impoverished child in New York City in their name? I hope that this year we are able to touch someone's life in a positive manner rather than only padding the pockets of credit card companies.
While you're at it take a few minutes and scan these websites for other great gifts that go along way to helping others.
The Hunger Site –With this site, Starting on November 12, 2007, and for a limited time, every completed Hunger Site order will provide eight meals through America's Second Harvest — at no additional cost to you!
Edited to add: For a limited time only The Hunger Site will feed a family of four with every order placed in The Hunger Site store through the work of America's Second Harvest-The Nation's Food Bank Network. Offer Good until Monday, November 19, 2007.
World Hunger Week — Get Involved
Posted October 17, 2007on:
October 14-20th is World Hunger week! Please do your part to help end world hunger!
My four year old daughter and I pray about hunger daily, she feels this is more important than anything else for her to pray about. If a four year old can find hunger important enough to talk to God about shouldn't we? Hunger claims the lives of 25,000 people each day and 18,000 hungry children die each day. How many more have to forfeit their lives before we as a community come together to say enough is enough?! As (a mostly overweight) nation, we, each, consume somewhere around 1500 pounds of food a year! While most of us wasted nearly $100 billion of edible food last year, 854 million people do not have enough to eat–thats more than the populations of USA, Canada and the European Union. One in seven people on the planet suffer from hunger and more than 60 percent of chronically hungry people are women, which should strike most of us women as deeply disturbing…60% of 854 million people, thats 512 million women.
As a mother, I find this statistic the most heartbreaking: every five seconds a child dies because she or he is hungry. In the time it has take you to read just this far, nine children have died due to hunger. 9.7 million children under five died in developing countries in 2006. Malnutrition and hunger-related diseases caused 60 percent of the deaths.
When do we say ENOUGH! If we all helped out just a little, we could easily end world hunger. It takes standing up for those who can't stand up for themselves and it might even mean a little sacrifice from us, but isn't it worth it. Help stop the hunger and death!
Visit these sights for more details on how YOU can help:
We are all God's people! and we must do our part to save those who cannot save themselves!

text: An Afghan army is being formed in a bid to rid the country of its factional war lords The blast was caused when a soldier dropped a mortar bomb while loading a truck with weapons surrendered by local fighters, officials told Reuters on Monday. The incident took place late Sunday night at the village of Aqcha, Mohammad Qoul Zahri, deputy police chief of Jozjan, said. The soldiers involved were loyal to Abdul Rashid Dostum, a warlord and a defence adviser to Afghani President Hamid Karzai. "It was a huge explosion that destroyed five of the trucks," Zahri said. Local television reported that a disarmament ceremony, held after weapons were handed in by paramilitaries across the region, had been attended by British, US and Turkish diplomats. They left before the explosion. Zahri said the blast was an accident. "There was no terrorist involvement," Zahri told Reuters. "This was an unfortunate incident. Today General Dostum visited the site and the investigation showed it was an accident." The ceremony was held as part of an initiative to disarm more than 100,000 factional fighters across the war-ravaged country. SOURCE: Reuters

Strip and Wax Your Floors – 4 Reasons Why
Professionally maintained floors can give your business the pleasing aesthetic that will both impress and intrigue your clients. Make sure that you protect your investment and avoid costly repairs by doing regularly scheduled maintenance work.
Without proper flooring maintenance, floors will become dull, scratched or even discolored. There is nothing worse than walking into a business that has dull and dirty floors.
We can help you avoid being that place!
Stripping and waxing is a process that is specifically for VCT, vinyl, linoleum, epoxy and acrylic flooring. It refers to the process of completely removing the preexisting wax coating and reapplying fresh layers of wax that will give your floors the cleanliness and shine you expect.
Depending on your facility and level of traffic, we recommend that this process be done bi-annually (every 6 months), with regularly scheduled spray buffing in between to keep the floors looking brand new.
The following are some of the great benefits that come from proper maintenance:
- Prevents scratches: Due to traffic and the wearing down of the wax coating, scratches to the flooring can happen very easily without regular upkeep.
- Prevents any tile lifting: When the protective coating is worn down it leaves the tiles vulnerable to elements such as water and debris. When water gets in between the cracks of the tiles, the glue can become waterlogged and will no longer adhere. This can cause unwanted lifting of the individual tiles of vinyl, VCT, etc.
- Prevents any staining or discoloration: Without proper protection, constant traffic can cause the color and shine to dull and even become discolored. This is usually due to dirt, debris and the wearing down of the protective coating on the floor.
- High Shine: Properly maintaining your floors by regularly stripping, waxing and getting periodic spray buffing treatments creates a shine that is unforgettable! It will also make your mopping efforts more efficient and leave you with an easy-to-clean surface.
We have a professionally trained team that is qualified and ready to do your floors. We provide comprehensive floor care packages that will not only keep your floors protected, but will also give you peace of mind when having to schedule these processes.
A&S Total Cleaning is a full service janitorial and post construction cleaning company. We offer everything from daily office cleanings and Porter service to post-construction clean up, floor care and restoration.
Managed services are our specialty and we pride ourselves on giving our clients an easy and worry free experience when it comes to their cleaning needs.
Call us today at 954-570-1165 to schedule your next floor service, or visit our website for a full list of the services offered www.TotalCleaning.com

Amanda Seyfried (Lovelace) is in talks to join the growing cast of A Million Ways to Die in the West, the new comedy directed by and starring Seth MacFarlane (Ted). The Western comedy centers on a cowardly farmer who backs out of a gunfight and subsequently loses his girlfriend. When he later meets the wife of a notorious outlaw who teaches him how to shoot, he gets an opportunity to win his pride back, but must choose between reclaiming an old love or kindling a new one. The plot thickens when the outlaw returns to claim his woman. Hit the jump for more on A Million Ways to Die in the West.
Heat Vision reports that Seyfried is in talks to join the cast of A Million Ways to Die in the West as the protagonist's disappointed girlfriend. We previously reported that Charlize Theron (Prometheus) was in negotiations to play the outlaw's wife. Both Seyfried and Theron have the comic sensibilities to work well opposite MacFarlane, who also co-wrote the script with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. It's MacFarlane that I'm more curious about. He's had a wealth of voice-acting roles, but far fewer live-action performances and I've yet to see him play a character with any sense of humility. In order for this comedy to work, I'm expecting a different note out of MacFarlane than anything we've seen so far. I'm curious to see how well he pulls it off. Production on A Million Ways to Die in the West begins this May.

WATCH Technical Report Number 44: Impact of spatial and temporal resolution on modelled terrestrial hydrological cycle components
The impact of both spatial and temporal resolution on the components of the terrestrial hydrological cycle are investigated using the WATCH forcing dataset (WFD) and the JULES (Joint UK Land Environment Simulator) land surface model. The various spatial resolutions are achieved by degrading the native half degree latitude/longitude resolution WATCH dataset to both one degree and two degrees. The temporal resolutions are created by degrading the native three hourly WATCH forcing dataset to six hourly and using the WATCH interpolator to derive a one hour forcing dataset. There is little difference in the moisture stores of soil water and canopy water in the long term mean from the various resolutions, the presented analysis is for changes in evaporation and runoff. Evaporation is further analysed into its various components for the spatial resolution. Results suggest little impact from spatial resolution, but the interpolation method for temporal resolution can have a significant effect on total mean evaporation/runoff balance.

WATCH Technical Report Number 43: Drought at the global scale in the 21st Century
This study has explored differences in drought in total runoff (surface runoff and subsurface runoff) at the global and the continental scale between seven different large-scale models (global hydrological models and land surface models). First drought characteristics (number of droughts and average drought duration) were investigated for the control period (1971-2000). Droughts derived from the large-scale models forced with WATCH Forcing Data (WFD, re-analysis dataset) and downscaled, bias-corrected climate output from three different GCMs (CNRM, ECHAM and IPSL) were intercompared. Next droughts for the 21st century (2021-2050 and 2071-2100) were explored to investigate different climate change, i.e. drought characteristics derived from large-scale models that were forced with climate output from the three GCMs for two emission scenarios (A2 and B1). The number and spatial distribution of drought events, and average drought duration do not clearly show a consistent change (increase or decrease) among the models due to variation of number of arid cells (cells with zero flow) that are found in the different simulation periods (control, mid and late 21st century). After the introduction of an equivalent drought measure, to remove arid cells, it seems that the large-scale models have relatively similar statistical values and therefore similar statistical properties for the WFD and GCM climate output. An increase in number of drought events was identified over the 21st century.

WATCH Technical Report Number 42: Drought at the global scale for the 2nd part of the 20th Century (1963-2001)
Simulated gridded time series from ten different large-scale models, both GHMs and LSMs, are used to investigate to what extent these large-scale models capture historic hydrological drought events. Monthly aggregated total runoff values were used to determine hydrological drought events with different methods developed to identify spatio-temporal drought characteristics. For each continent one documented major drought event was selected and described in detail. It can be concluded that most major drought events are captured by the models, but the spatial extent of the drought events differ substantially between the models.

WATCH Technical Report Number 41: High flow in the 21st Century: analysis with a simple conceptual hydrological models using the input of 3 GCMs (A2 scenario)
In this study a conceptual hydrological model was applied, which was forced with the outcome from three GCMs (ECHAM, CNRM, IPSL) for the A2 scenario in the 21st century. The Q10 (streamflow that is equalled or exceeded in 10% of the time) was used a high flow metric. It was calculated for 1495 selected land points that are well distributed across the globe, which adequately represent the Köppen-Geiger major climate regions. The hydrological model was run for a soil with an intermediate soil water supply capacity and an intermediary responding groundwater system. First, high flows obtained with the hydrological model using the three GCMs were checked against those got from the re-analysis dataset (WATCH Forcing Data) for the control period (CTRL, 1970-2000). The median Q10s derived from the GCMs for the CTRL period differ at least tens of per cent from the Q10 obtained when using WFD as input for the hydrological model (i.e. about 30-60%). The differences for the arid and polar (B- and E-) climates are even higher (about 100% or more). The impact of climate change (median of Q10) is projected to increase over the 21st century according to all three GCMs for the C-, D- and E-climates. This is also expected for the A- and B-climates according to ECHAM and CNRM. IPSL provides for these two Köppen-Geiger major climate regions a more diffuse projection.

WATCH Technical Report Number 40: Multi-model analysis of drought at the global scale: differences in hydrological drought between the first and the second part of the 20th Century
Global hydrological drought for the twentieth century has been investigated based on the simulated total runoff (sum of the surface and sub-surface runoff) of two global hydrological models (WaterGAP and GWAVA), two land surface models (HTESSEL and Orchidee), and an ensemble mean derived from six global models. Global hydrological drought trend (two-tailed t-test, Mann-Kendall non parametric test) was analysed by splitting the 20th century in to the first part (1906-1957) and the second part (1958-2000) based on the different approaches used to generate the WATCH meteorological forcing data. Trend shifts in simulated total runoff between the two periods of the century are observed in nearly half of the land surface cells. Sliding time windows were used to determine thresholds to smooth the effect of these trend shifts and also to capture inter-decadal climatic variability. Percentage of the globe and the continents in drought was computed for the whole simulation period at a monthly time step for each model. Most of the world wide droughts, that are often associated with the ENSO phenomena, are identified by the four models as well as the multi-model ensemble mean though there exist differences in percentage of area in drought among models. Inter-comparing the two periods of the century, decreasing trends are observed in area of the globe in drought for the first part (1906 -1958) of the century, whereas increasing trends are observed for the second part(1958-2000) of the century among all models.

WATCH Technical Report Number 39: Reference evapotranspiration with radiation-based and temperature-based method - impact on hydrological drought using WATCH Forcing Data
Two different methods to calculate reference evapotranspiration were applied and resulting drought characteristics across the globe were compared. WATCH Forcing Data (WFD) have been used as input. One method is the so-called radiation based (ET0rad), and is the well-known Penman-Monteith equation with, among others, incoming short wave radiation as a variable. The other method is so-called temperature-based (ET0temp), the radiation term is replaced by an approximation of the radiation based on minimum and maximum air temperature. After calculating reference evapotranspiration ET0 with both methods, it is fed into a conceptual hydrological model that combines a soil water balance and a simple lumped groundwater model. The model generates daily actual evapotranspiration (ETA), groundwater recharge and discharge. Eventually, the simulated groundwater discharge was used to define periods of drought with a Variable Threshold (VT) method. Drought characteristics, like length and deficit, were identified. The model using the two different ET0 series, was applied to about 1500 cells (land grids) that well represent the five Koeppen-Geiger major climates across the world. There are clear differences between the two methods, and generally the radiation-based method leads to higher ET0 than the temperature-based method. As expected, the differences between ETArad and ETAtemp are significantly smaller than for the reference evapotranspiration. In general the radiation-based method still leads to higher ETA than the temperature-based method. Eventually, the different drought characteristics are compared. There are remarkable differences in drought characteristics, especially in deficit volume and intensity, but in general the differences are within ranges found in other literature that describes the impact of hydrological models or datasets with different diurnal forces on hydrological drought. The D and E-climates (snow-affected climates) show the largest differences.

WATCH Technical Report Number 38: Including climate feedbacks in regional water resource assessments
Two important changes to the meteorological conditions can occur as a result of a change in the land-surface state: the precipitation can change (Koster et al, 2004, Wang et al, 2007) and the evaporative demand can change (Ek and Holtslag, 2004, Schubert et al, 2004). Precipitation is particularly difficult to predict as it can be affected by large-scale weather patterns or complex processes such as mesoscale circulations or convective processes. The physics involved and the scale and complexity of the processes means that complex numerical atmospheric models are usually necessary to quantify impact of the land surface on precipitation, although a simple, analytical model can sometimes be used to assess the effect of the land- surface state on the likelihood of triggering convective precipitation (e.g., De Ridder, 1997). Changes in the evaporative demand are equally important. For instance, Cai et al (2009) have demonstrated the role that the land-atmosphere feedbacks have had on the recent Australian drought. The feedback link between the land surface and the evaporative demand is through the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) and this feedback process lends itself to a fairly simple analysis. A framework to assess the impact of change in the land surface on the evaporative demand, and subsequent available regional water resources is proposed in this report.

WATCH Technical Report Number 37: Creation of the WATCH 20th Century Ensemble Product
One of the goals for WATCH was to assess the global terrestrial water cycle in the twentieth century. Here the creation of a new data set is described which provides a "best estimate" of four key hydrological variables based on averages of daily output from seven hydrological models. These models were operated on naturalised conditions (i.e. excluding human influences such as dams and irrigation). The outputs from these models resulted in full twentieth century runs, which provided a 100 years of data for the full twentieth century. The WATCH 20th Century Ensemble contains daily averages and associated descriptors for every half-degree land grid box in the Watch Forcing Data and are stored in monthly full latitude-longitude grid netCDF files. This report describe creation and availability of this ensemble product.

WATCH Technical Report Number 36: Changes in land surface model outputs due to uncertainty in the WATCH Forcing Data
Uncertainty in the terrestrial water cycle, as represented by land surface model outputs, is investigated as a function of uncertainty in the WATCH Forcing Data. Three alternative forcing datasets were created involving changes to: a) rainfall and snowfall, b) downward shortwave and c) downward longwave and downward shortwave-radiation fluxes. The JULES land surface model was run using the standard and alternative forcing data to investigate changes in global snow water equivalent, evaporation, soil moisture and runoff. Uncertainty in model outputs due to the forcing data is far smaller than uncertainty due to choice of hydrological model for all four hydrological variables. For snow water equivalent there is a very sensitive dependence on changes in precipitation and incoming radiation drivers such that relative changes in output represent an amplification of the relative changes in the forcing data input. For other variables the relative changes in outputs are in approximate proportion to relative changes in the input, except in semi-arid and arid regions where there is amplification for evaporation and runoff.

WATCH Technical Report Number 35: Assessment of flood peak simulations by Global Hydrological Models
With significant changes to flood frequency anticipated as a result of climate change it becomes important to investigate how global hydrological models process climate forcing data. This study has analysed the variability in extreme precipitation and flood events from three global hydrological models driven by Watch Forcing Data and Echam5 climate model data, in order to assess variation in extreme rainfall-runoff processes, model bias, and the impact of climate change on the probabilistic behaviour of floods. Global spatial patterns of variation in extreme rainfall-runoff processes differ between models, particularly in regions of extreme climate. Flood statistics from hydrological models run with the same forcing data differ significantly. Climate change simulations indicate some general agreement between models in the emerging spatial pattern of future changes to flood variability across Europe; however, some distinct regional and sub-regional differences in magnitude of change and spatial pattern are evident between models.

WATCH Technical Report Number 34: Improved hydrological processes in land surface models
During the 4 years of WATCH the participating land-surface models progressed in their description of the continental water cycle. In particular 5 models participating in WATCH have been developed further in the course of the project. The main focus of the development of these models were the impact of human activities on the continental water budget. It was the comparison with global hydrological models during WATCH that lead land surface modelling groups to decide that the anthropogenic pressure on the water cycle was a major element missing in their models. Within WATCH some of the land-surface models introduced, for the first time, the impact of human activities on the continental water cycle.

WATCH Technical Report Number 33: Objective low flow catalogue for Europe
Regional drought and high flow characteristics vary spatially and temporally throughout Europe, and therefore objective classifications of drought and high flows are preferred in determining the variable regional characteristics of hydrological extremes. This study applies objective methodologies for defining regional droughts (Regional Deficiency Index; RDI) and high flow episodes (Regional High Flow Index; RHFI) to observed daily river flow timeseries from 579 stations across Europe, over the period 1961-2005. Drought and high flow catalogues are presented for 23 homogeneous European regions, allowing an assessment of the regional variation in the extent, duration, seasonality and spatio-temporal evolution of hydrological extremes in Europe.

Enter a magazine title or keyword
I have been a bowhunter for years and I am addicted to the sport. At one point, my addiction had me signed up for 6 different hunting magazines. Every month, my stack of magazines would arrive and I read them all. One stood out amongst the rest, Bowhunting world. I have since ended my subscription to the other magazines and I look forward to my favorite arriving in the mailbox every month. Thanks to the team at Bowhunting World. Excellent work.
I have subscribed to many magazines. I have to say that bowhunting world is both informative and revolutionizing the bowhunting world. They have many articles that test old theories and many times crush them. Example: Feb. 09 article by Brian Murphy. Harvesting cull bucks. as well as many others. Bowhunting world uses proven studies to show the facts about such subjects not just what they think will work. The money that is spent to do studies such as this is what make this a high class hunting magizine. They also test products to the extreme, They have proven archers such as Chuck Adams, Mark Hicks and many more to tell you thier proven methods, not just tell stories about how they shot a huge whitetail and tell you nothing about thier setup or reasons for hunting there in the first place. Bowhunting World is one of the best outdoor magizines I read consistintly. xWisbowhunterx

CapX2020: Getting It Right
Jul 21, 2016 By Gerald Chezik, Xcel Energy, and Aaron Boston, POWER Engineers
T&D World Magazine
Saving Xcel Energy time and money, Air2 speeds up the construction of high voltage transmission lines for CapX2020.
Even good weather sometimes presented problems for construction crews and schedules. As temperatures warmed and snow melted in the spring, for example, some project areas flooded and water saturated the ground. Soft soil could keep crews and their heavy trucks out of work areas for weeks and weeks. This would mean lost time.
Using helicopter crews provided a solution for meeting schedules and early completion, but it increased line construction costs. The utility used helicopters to string lead line for stringing conductor as well as to install conductor accessories such as line spacers. Helicopters also were used to shuttle linemen to conductor arms for conductor attachment work.
Balancing project schedules and costs between ground and helicopter line crews required a lot of studies on different types of tasks at different times of the year and at different costs. A great deal of effort went into intricate spreadsheets to estimate costs, including potential damage to crops, and to reduce the risk of delays. With these studies in hand, Xcel Energy was able to show contractors how best to divide work between helicopter and ground crews for projects in winter, spring, summer and fall.

Pretty much all my life I have thought there was something wrong with me. I also secretly thought I was vastly superior to everyone else but would never do anything that might challenge me too much in case I was proved wrong! I spent my life looking for ease and escape from these two wildly differing polarities- looking for me in fact.
I thought I'd got it sussed when I learned how to go under the radar and function successfully in the world- basically I could disguise my weirdness but the search for me continued and it took a ton of energy to maintain. I didn't know anything was possible after this, this is life, right? And then I found Access...
Two years ago I went to a clarity night in the next town, and the next day, to cut a long story short: I woke up different! I haven't looked back since. I use the tools of Access every moment of my life and what brings me joy and expansion is sharing these tools with clients and in Access Bars and Energetic Facelift classes.
Words cannot express my gratitude for Gary and Dain for sharing this stuff with the world: I am sometimes aware of a possible self that didn't choose these tools, that is still searching and making herself wrong, then right, then wrong then right...! And I'm astounded and grateful all over again that I get to have all of me in this life.
Would you like all of you? Would you like to get out of judgement of yourself and create a life that's fun for you and that contributes to everyone around you in miraculous ways? Come play! I love empowering people to know that YOU are the valuable product- you have all you require and could ever wish for to have a life and living that ignites and enthuses you!

Obama Pushing Another Anti gunner to Feral branch
Obama Pushing Another Radical Anti-gunner to the Federal Bench
Gun Owners of America E-Mail Alert

"Liu believes that judges have the authority to impose their views... using clever verbal camouflage to disguise what they're doing." -- Ed Whelan, a one-time clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia and now president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center (3/4/10)
Monday, March 29, 2010
Imagine a judicial candidate that is so far to the left that even Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel, is hesitant to push him forward.
Imagine a liberal law professor that not only fails to meet the ABA's basic requirements for a federal judge, but is so green behind the ears that it appears the only reason he is being nominated to the federal courts is because he served as part of President Obama's transition team.
If you can imagine such a leftist candidate, then you would be thinking of Goodwin Liu, the President's recent nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Liu is the Associate Dean and Professor of Law at the ultra-left UC Berkeley School of Law. Only 39 years old, he comes nowhere near fulfilling the ABA's standards for a judge.
But what he lacks in experience, he makes up for in radical liberalism. In a recent book that he co-authored, Liu says that, "Applications of constitutional text and principles must be open to adaptation and change... as the conditions and norms of our society become ever more distant from those of the Founding generation."
Got it? Like many radical progressives, Liu believes that our rights are constantly evolving. The Second Amendment might have been necessary in the 1700s, he believes, but now those rights are no longer necessary.
In Liu's world, there would be no gun rights
Noted author David Kopel cites a law journal article of Liu's where he criticizes the Supreme Court for declaring two gun control laws as unconstitutional -- the Brady Law's unfunded mandate and the Gun-Free School Zones Act.
Liu said that Supreme Court cases like these did "damage" to civil rights and "upset settled understandings of congressional power." What?! Striking down gun control laws does damage to civil rights? Well, let's be clear: the Court did upset someone's "settled" understanding of things, but it was the LIBERAL'S misunderstanding of the Constitution.
By the way, Liu co-authored the 2002 law journal article with then-Senator Hillary Clinton... which should tell us all we need to know about Liu's liberal, anti-gun views!
Rights evolve over time?
The bottom line is that Liu would not be a stickler for the Constitution if he were to sit on the appellate court.
"It becomes pretty clear why 'originalism' and 'strict construction' don't make a lot of sense," Liu said in an interview promoting his book. "The Framers deliberately chose... broad words so they would be adaptable to new challenges over time."
No wonder that the ranking Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Jeff Sessions (R-AL), spoke out so forcefully against the nomination of Goodwin Liu:
I am very disappointed by President Obama's nomination of Professor Goodwin Liu to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit....
Instead of nominating an individual who has demonstrated an impartial commitment to following the Constitution and the rule of law, President Obama has selected someone far outside the mainstream of American jurisprudence. Professor Liu believes that judges should look to "evolving norms and social understandings" in interpreting the Constitution, he has a history of advocating for racial preferences, and he served on the Board of the directors of the ACLU.
ACTION: Please urge your two Senators to oppose Obama's appointment of Goodwin Liu, the latest anti-gun liberal to be picked for the federal courts. You can use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to send your legislators the pre-written e-mail message below.
----- Pre-written letter -----
Dear Senator:
I oppose the nomination of Goodwin Liu, the President's recent nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Liu is an anti-gun, radical leftist who doesn't even meet the ABA's basic requirements for a federal judge, as he has neither practiced law for 12 years, nor has he any experience as a trial lawyer.
Liu believes that our rights are constantly evolving... which is why I'm very concerned about his Second Amendment views. He co-authored a law journal article in 2002 with then-Senator Hillary Clinton, wherein he criticizes the Supreme Court for declaring two gun control laws as unconstitutional -- the Brady Law's unfunded mandate and the Gun-Free School Zones Act.
Leftists like Liu think our gun rights might have been necessary in the 1700s, but are no longer necessary today. I agree with Senator Jeff Sessions' critique of Liu, as the latter mistakenly thinks that judges should look to "evolving norms and social understandings" in interpreting the Constitution.
I vehemently oppose this view and hope you will vote against any nominee who doesn't stand strong on the Bill of Rights.
Please oppose Goodwin Liu.

CAVER Web 1.0
Caver Web is an interactive web server for comprehensive analysis of protein tunnels and channels as well as the ligands' transport within a single graphical user interface. The whole process of tunnel detection and analysis of ligand transport is facilitated by automated guidance procedures which assist the users to correctly set up the calculation leading to accurate and biologically relevant results. The first part of the workflow is tunnel detection and visualization using the gold standard Caver. The second part of the workflow analyses the ligand transport by CaverDock. Multiple ligands can be provided as the files with coordinates, ZINC database accession codes or by drawing the structure in molecule editor. CaverDock balances computational demands (2-20 min/job) and accuracy.
SoluProt 1.0
SoluProt is a web application for a prediction of protein solubility from protein primary sequence. A solubility score calculated for an entire protein sequence is useful for the prioritization of protein sequences selected for the laboratory production in genomic projects. The predictor is in its current version based on the random forest regression model and employs 36 sequence-based features, e.g., amino acid content, predicted disorder, alpha-helix and beta-sheet content, sequence identity to PDB and several aggregated physico-chemical properties. SoluProt currently achieves the accuracy of 58.2% and is a subject to further active development.
EnzymeMiner 1.0
EnzymeMiner is a web application for automated and periodical mining of interesting sequences in genomic databases. The server utilizes a number of sequence and structural bioinformatics tools for the identification of protein-coding genes with conserved catalytic residues presumably catalyzing a defined enzymatic reaction. The functional diversity of mined hits is secured by the prediction of protein tertiary structures, analysis of protein cavities and access tunnels, modelling of enzyme-substrate complexes and prediction of their reactivity.
CalFitter 1.0
CalFitter is a computational tool for an analysis and fitting of calorimetric protein melting curves obtained from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. The application allows simultaneous global fitting with various scan rates and reheating using 10 different models of unfolding. Apart from the heat capacity curve, each model provides population of intermediates versus temperature, fitted parameter values, and respective confidence intervals of the fitting. The program provides a means to export the analysis into Excel as well.

CaverDock 1.0
CaverDock is a new tool for an extremely rapid analysis of transportation processes in proteins. It models the transportation of a ligand (a substrate, a product, an inhibitor, a co-factor or a co-solvent) from the outside environment into the binding site and vice versa. The tool implements a novel algorithm based on molecular docking and is able to produce contiguous ligand trajectories and estimations of the binding energy along the pathways. CaverDock uses Caver for the pathway identification and a heavily modified Autodock Vina as the docking engine. The tool is much faster than molecular dynamics (2-20 min per job) and is also suitable for virtual screening.
FireProt 1.0
FireProt provides a robust computational strategy for predicting highly stable multiple-point mutants. It combines energy- and evolution-based approaches with smart filtering to identify additive stabilizing mutations. FireProt integrates sixteen computational tools, utilizing both sequence and structural information. The web server provides users with a one-stop-shop solution for the design of thermostable proteins, designed by three strategies: (i) an evolution-based approach, utilizing a back-to-consensus analysis; (ii) an energy-based approach, using conservation, correlation, and energy and (iii) a combined approach.
Homepage • 1st Publication • 2nd Publication
PredictSNP1 is an ensemble-based classifier for a prediction of the effect of amino acid substitutions and their prioritization for experimental characterization. It combines six well-established computational methods (MAPP, PhD-SNP, PolyPhen-1, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, SNAP) with a two-level weighted consensus approach to provide a more accurate and robust alternative to the predictions delivered by the individual tools. The predictions are complemented with experimental annotations from the Protein Mutant and the UniProt databases.
PredictSNP2 extends the scope to nucleotide substitutions and enables the identifications of disease-related variants within the whole genome. Similarly to PredictSNP1, the results of the five existing best-performing tools (CADD, DANN, FATHMM, FunSeq2 and GWAVA) are combined with two-level weighted consensus approach. To provide a comprehensive evaluation of variants, the predictions are complemented with annotations from eight databases.

HotSpot Wizard 3.0
HotSpot Wizard is a web server for an automated identification of 'hot spots' and a design of smart libraries for engineering protein stability, catalytic activity, substrate specificity and enantioselectivity. HotSpot Wizard implements four different established protein engineering strategies, enabling users to selectively target sites affecting the protein stability and catalytic properties. The server should be useful for protein engineers interested in exploring the structure of their favourite protein and for the design of mutations in site-directed mutagenesis and focused directed evolution experiments.
Homepage • 1st Publication • 2nd Publication • 3rd Publication
CAVER is a gold standard for an identification and characterization of tunnels and channels in macromolecular structures. The new version enables an automatic analysis of transport pathways in large ensembles of protein conformations. The analysis of molecular dynamics simulation is essential for the estimation of pathway characteristics and the elucidation of the structural basis of tunnel gating. CAVER paves the way for the study of important biochemical phenomena in the areas of molecular transport, molecular recognition and enzymatic catalysis. The software is available as a multiplatform JAVA command-line application or a PyMol plug-in.
Homepage • 1st Publication • 2nd Publication
CAVER Analyst 2.0
CAVER Analyst is a tool for a calculation, analysis and real-time visualization of access tunnels and channels in static and dynamic protein structures. It provides an intuitive graphic user interface for setting up the calculation and an interactive exploration of identified tunnels/channels and their characteristics.

FECH:SANTA's GROTTO in Hospital Garden Saturday December 16th 2017
December 16, 2017 @ 10:30 am - 1:30 pm
Just a reminder that FECH (Friends of Emsworth Community Health) in conjunction with the Southbourne Lions, are holding another Christmas event in their garden adjacent to the old Victoria Cottage Hospital, Emsworth.
Santa will be present again in his Grotto ,plus refreshments, Carol Singing & various other Christmas stalls.
Please come along on SATURDAY DECEMBER 16TH 10.30 a.m.-1.30 p.m. to join in the fun.
If you are a charity & would like to have your own stall to sell Christmas items or just to promote your particular organisation please let me know so that we can plan the layout. There will be no charge to charities & any takings are yours!
If you are not a charity but would like to have a stall we would ask for a donation of £10. It would be nice if stalls/tables could be decorated to look "Christmassy." You will be able to access the garden from 9.00 a.m.
There is limited parking space at the side of the garden which can be used to "drop off" & "pick up" but cars would then need to move to one of the car parks in the village.

Practice and Evening AA
I practiced on my electric guitar again today and it felt good! After just one day, my finger placement has improved. I had school tonight -- Human Services and Diversity -- and talked with a fellow student, a guy who plays blues guitar. I told him about how my elbow and wrist were sore, that I have a tough time keeping my pinky finger on string and perpendicular to the fretboard. He said that it's all normal and natural, and with practice, it will get better. That was great to hear.
I left class a little early and went to an evening AA meeting. It was at a club I've been to before, but not this particular meeting. It was a step meeting with about 50 attendees. The meeting started out well; I heard some good stuff. Sadly, about 45 minutes in, there was a guy who initially shared good stuff, but began rambling and got into vivid descriptions of picking up prostitutes and watching them smoke crack. It felt really weird and uncomfortable, so I left.

The Secret Recipe For Your Weight Loss
O.K...you now know the truth about weight loss... You have been relying on the wrong information for years... and the results is more weight not less! In previous articles we discussed the three secrets needed to build good, life changing habits for permanent fat loss.
The ingredients of effective and long lasting weight loss if you will.
1. Facts - The right information.
2. Instructions - Step by Step Process.
3. Desire - You must want the result.
learn diet program, the diet solution program review, diet solution program scam,
It's time to pull it all together and give you the secret recipe that will guarantee your fat loss.
Through thousands of hours of research, interviews with top doctors, exercise physiologist, fitness trainers, nutritionist, chiropractors, nurses, naturopaths, and manufacturers of nutritional supplements we have uncovered the truth regarding fat loss.
We found the TRUTH to quick and simple fat loss. Not water weight or muscle loss, but how to lose actual fat cells, giving you the best opportunity to never see your fat return. Now I've made it my mission to help others do the same.
I'm now an advocate of sorts, taking on the status quo until every last victim of fat gain and yo-yo diet futility has the opportunity to get rid of their fat and keep it off for good. I have many other experts working with me all with the final goal being... Your Fat Loss and a Healthier You!
The Solution
Through our research, my staff and I discovered the truth about how your body works, how to naturally stimulate your metabolism, how to push the FAT Burn Button so your body burns fat 24 hours a day.
However, our discoveries to effective and safe weight loss did not turn out to be a single solution, just as the cause of weight gain is not limited to one single cause.
People have different needs, different levels of understanding, and many different factors contributing to their weight gain.
We also found they had similar questions when it came to weight loss. Here's a few...do they sound familiar?
What is the best - safest way to lose weight effectively? Why am I still carrying around this extra weight? Why does nothing seem to work to keep weight off when I do try to lose it?" Is exercise necessary to lose weight? What exercise actually works? Which diet supplements are good and which ones are trumped up hype? Is there a real weight loss plan that will work for me in my time frame, with my budget and my schedule?
All of our research produced the burning question
"How do we get this information to you so you can finally lose all the weight you want to lose in an effective and safe manner?"
The most effective way to explain and show you firsthand how to eliminate all the fat cells you wish to lose and guarantee fat busting results is to invite you to a live webinar.
This webinar is FREE and will allow me to discuss your permanent fat loss in more detail and show you how to do eliminate your fat cells without diets, drugs or surgery.

As its sound might suggest, roseate has to do with "rosy." Anything that's roseate is rose colored or pinkish. It's often used in the term "roseate glow," typically to describe a sunset.
Ever heard of the phrase "seeing life through rose tinted glasses," meaning seeing life way too optimistically and unrealistically? Well, roseate can have that sense as well. If you're painting "too roseate" a picture of what college is like to your parents, you're either deliberately or unintentionally giving them a picture that's a bit too good to be true.
