Montreal is an amazi ng, diverse city, rich in heritage and culture. It is also a city of contradictions – a paradox. It is city built on a river and one of the most important ports in Canada and yet it’s almost 1,000 miles from the sea!
On first viewing Montreal is also clearly a North American city with tall skyscrapers, wide boulevards and a grid road system. It also has extremely cold winters which has led to the development of the ‘underground city’ to protect the citizens in difficult conditions.
This is what makes Montreal so fascinating – the rich mix of French, European, First Nation and contemporary Canadian cultures. It also feels very much like home to me – that European feel, with more than half of the population French speaking and evidence of Scottish heritage and many familiar names from our islands including McGill University!
In the same way that palliative care embraces a wide diversity of interdependent disciplines and areas of expertise so does this event. It brings together academics, practitioners, researchers, leaders from across the world – this year 1800 delegates from over 60 countries. Add to that art, music, literature and creative reflections at the beginning of each session to lead us from the distractions that crowd our minds, into a focused awareness of shared experience – and this Congress is thought-provoking and restorative in equal measure.
What struck me about this Congress during my first visit, and on each attendance since, is that over its 40 year history this event remains consistently aligned with the very precious work with which we are all engaged.
The Congress, organised by the faculty of palliative care at McGill University ensures that the plenaries are informative, challenging and often at the edge of our sphere of thinking. This year Congress opened with Professor David Clark followed by Okello Sam a former child soldier from Uganda who has established a foundation to support former child soldiers in their road to something near recovery. He described the recruitment process for child soldiers and also the means by which these children were forced to stay in the ‘army’. His foundation is demonstrating that recovery is possible by creating a safe community of peers, using creative arts to build confidence and self-esteem, practical support e.g.providing hearing tests and appropriate hearing aids. This Ugandan foundation of Hope provides love, care and support – it looks, feels and is palliative care, just not quite as we know it.
This was the fourth Congress for members of the CHAS team. In previous years we have delivered a range of projects: we have taken an art installation involving over 20 pieces of the children’s art with the ‘explanation’ boards in both English and French (thanks to a volunteer for helping us with that bit!); delivered creative arts workshops; and talked about the complexity around transitions from children’s to adult services.
This year we had similar diversity from our team: our work with Napier University in scoping the future education needs for children’s palliative care; memory making in neonatal palliative care; the development of a national community pharmacy network for children; and transforming volunteer engagement through the power of the volunteer voice and digital technology.
The closing plenary this year was a privilege to witness: Dr Balfour Mount, who established this Congress 44 years ago, in close conversation with Thupten Jinpa, the Dalai Lama’s Principal Translator and Fr Laurence Freeman, Director of The Centre for Christian Meditation. These three men clearly know each other incredibly well and through the in-depth dialogue they helped delegates to understand that connecting with one’s own inner compassion is key to resilience and personal spiritual renewal. Two crucial factors for those on the front lines of acute care-giving.
This is my take away this year.
Maria McGill is a Trustee for Together for Short Lives. Maria has 22 years’ experience in specialist palliative care and has been the Chief Executive of Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) since October 2010.

You’re supposed to keep up your iron levels when pregnant. So what better way than a steak from Del Friscos! Ok yes there are other sources, but when this is an option you know I’m going to take it!
Women need 18 mg per day of iron. Pregnant women need about 27 mg. An 8oz filet contains roughly 4 mg of iron. Spinach, oysters, broccoli and legumes are great sources of iron as well if beef isn’t your thing.
Unfamiliar with what iron does in the body? Here’s a short explanation…..iron is a component of hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that helps transport oxygen through the body. Iron is also necessary in helping maintain healthy skin, hair and nails.
Why are we so critical of what other people eat or don’t eat? I’ve battled with a food allergy for almost 10 years now. I’ve gone to dinner at peoples houses and not been able to eat much of anything because they served something I’m allergic to. I’ve gotten better about letting people know ahead of time. But I used to be so shy about it that I wouldn’t eat. A people assumed I had an eating disorder because I wouldn’t eat. Little did they know, on my way home I was eating the protein bar I had stashed in my car and would wolf down everything in my fridge at home!
There have been other times where I had to pick around food in hopes of eating something without getting sick. I’ve been called a picky eater because of this. I don’t really think a food allergy qualifies someone as a picky eater. It’s not really their choice to have a food allergy. If I could get rid of it I would! It would definitely make life easier when eating out or at peoples houses!
Rather than assume someone has an eating disorder or brand them as a picky eater, why not give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they have a food allergy! Or maybe they just don’t like what you’re serving. 😂 I think we as a society need to work on being less critical. We also need to worry more about ourselves and less about what other people are doing (in some cases).
Headaches….they are so incredibly common and can be brought on by the littlest things! Stress, noise exposure, straining your eyes, consuming too much caffeine, consuming too much sugar, dehydration and lack of sleep, are just a few examples of things that cause headaches. You can take an OTC med to alleviate the pain, or there are a few natural things you can try…..
I have a habit of pulling my hair up too tight and giving myself a headache. I know better but I still do it every time! A few of these work for me, if just letting my hair down doesn’t work.
Halve tomatoes. Mince garlic. Mince parsley. Rinse salmon, pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
Place a medium non stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tsp of olive oil and salmon. Cook 4-6 minutes each side. Remove from burner and plate salmon.
Use same pan used to cook salmon. Add 1 tsp of olive oil, tomatoes, garlic and parsley. Stir till tomatoes blister. 1-2 minutes. Remove from burner and mix in mustard. Top salmon with mixture.
I’m sure people are going to think I’m ridiculous for saying this, but I wish we could rename fats, from food, something else. Yeah yeah I know it sounds stupid. But a good majority of the general public sees that word and freaks out. I think it’s due to the word association with the word body fat. We define fat (from the body) as connective tissue that stores cellular fat. Or….the yellow blob stuff that we see in pictures in ads and learned about in heath class.
Last night I made ponzu salmon and rice. It was under 500 calories and incredibly filling. Decently easy and tasted great!
While rice cooks chop mushrooms and onion. Mince garlic. Rinse salmon and pat dry. Combine ponzu, ginger and green onions. Place 2 tbsp of mixture in a separate small bowl and set aside.
Spray a medium nonstick pan with cooking spray. Place over medium heat. Add mushrooms to pan and cook until soft. Add rice, peas and garlic. Cook till peas are warm. Mix in ponzu sauce mixture. Cover and remove from burner.
Spray a second medium nonstick pan with cooking spray. Place over medium heat. Add salmon. Sear until golden brown. 4-6 minutes each side.
Plate salmon and rice mixture. Pour remaining 2 tbsp of ponzu mixture over salmon. Enjoy!

Youngstown, Ohio — March 22, 2019. America Makes proudly announces its second America Makes Satellite Center to be located within the facilities of the Institute's Platinum-level member, the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES), a part of The Texas A&M University System, in College Station, Texas. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between America Makes, which is managed by the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM), and TEES was signed and announced today during a signing event held at the Zachry Engineering Education Complex at 9:30 a.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT).
In attendance for the MOU signing event was America Makes Executive Director Rob Gorham; America Makes Director of Partnerships & Community Relations Erin O'Donnell; America Makes Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) Program Manager Dennis Butcher; M. Katherine Banks, Ph.D., Texas A&M Engineering Vice Chancellor and Dean of Engineering and National Labs; and Dimitris Lagoudas, Ph.D., TEES Deputy Director.
"On behalf of all of us at America Makes, we are pleased to announce the selection of the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station as the site of our second America Makes Satellite Center," said America Makes Executive Director Rob Gorham. "For more than 100 years, TEES has performed groundbreaking engineering research and developed technology to address state and national problems. With our second America Makes Satellite Center to also be located in Texas, housed on the Texas A&M campus, we have strategically expanded our reach of accelerating the adoption of additive manufacturing technologies to encompass all of the Southwest and Southeast United States. We look forward getting the America Makes Satellite Center at TEES up and running soon."
Of the opportunity to elevate its collaboration with America Makes through the creation of a Satellite Center, Dr. M. Katherine Banks, Texas A&M Engineering Vice Chancellor and Dean of Engineering and National Labs said, "Texas A&M has one of the largest concentrations of core manufacturing subject matter experts in the country, which makes it the perfect location for American Makes' newest Satellite Center. As a Platinum-level member of America Makes, we have built a strong partnership with the Institute and will be able to leverage our relationships with industry and academe to accelerate new developments in additive manufacturing technologies."
Managed by NCDMM, America Makes is the national accelerator for additive manufacturing (AM) and the first Institute within the Manufacturing USA network. As a public-private partnership, America Makes currently has a membership community comprised of more than 220 member organizations, bringing together our nation's brilliant technical minds from all corners of government, industry, and academia to create a hub of advanced manufacturing innovation in AM.
The objective of the America Makes Satellite Center model is to extend the reach of the existing America Makes mission by complementing and expanding its current regional, industrial, and technological footprint. America Makes founded its first Satellite Center in 2015 at the W.M. Keck Center for 3D Innovation on the campus of the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). Ryan Wicker, Ph.D., Director and Founder of the Keck Center, was also in attendance at today's signing event to lend his support to the expansion of the America Makes Satellite Center network.
In summarizing the significance of today signing, America Makes Director of Partnerships & Community Relations Erin O'Donnell added, "Today marks an exciting milestone for America Makes. By expanding the Satellite Center network to include another world-class engineering research entity, we are able to capitalize on the strength of our shared goal and synergies to further the innovation in and the adoption of AM technologies. From Youngstown to El Paso and now College Station, America Makes is leading the transition of AM technologies from the research lab to commercialization. I can't wait to collaborate with the America Makes Satellite Center teams at both UTEP's Keck Center and TEES to fulfill the mission of America Makes."
The plan is for the America Makes Satellite Center to be located in Texas A&M University's Emerging Technologies Building initially. However, the long-term goal is to move the Satellite Center to The Texas A&M University System RELLIS Campus, a premier, high-tech, multi-institutional research, testing and workforce development campus in Bryan, Texas. The Texas A&M System is currently expanding the RELLIS Campus by developing an additional 2,000 acres at the site.
As an engineering research agency of Texas, TEES performs quality research driven by world problems; strengthens and expands the state's workforce through educational partnerships and training; and develops and transfers technology to industry. TEES partners with academic institutions, governmental agencies, industries, and communities to solve problems to help improve the quality of life, promote economic development and enhance educational systems.

You may have heard the news – Python 2 reaches end-of-life on January 1st, 2020. This means Python 2 will no longer be maintained after this date. Ongoing development, security updates, and bug fixes by language maintainers will stop for Python 2 and focus solely on Python 3. This means that running software on Python 2 will become significantly riskier in terms of availability, security, and maintenance.
The reasons for this approach by the language maintainers are multifold. They include better string handling, more consistent naming for various standard library functions, more intuitive handling of numbers/division, and much more. A number of resources have been made available to assist with upgrading Python 2 code to Python 3, including a porting guide, the 2to3 tool, and python-future.
Although we’re still actively working on this project, we wanted to give an overview of our approach, which might be useful if your team is also working on upgrading to Python 3!
Zero downtime. Downtime is dangerous, expensive in terms of developer involvement, and disruptive to customers.
Minimize developer disruption. We assigned a small team to work on this effort, and as much as possible we did not want developers across our organization to have to slow down their critical feature development to support this project.
Minimize production bugs. To avoid business and customer impact we wanted to focus as much as possible on not introducing bugs to production as part of this effort.
We decided to target Python 3.6 because most of our dependencies released versions that explicitly supported Python 3.6, but very few explicitly supported Python 3.7. In line with our extra-cautious approach, Python 3.6 seemed like the safest bet to ensure the project would be completed on time and with minimal issues.
There are basically two approaches to getting a “24/7 live web application” to Python 3: a one-time cutover to a Python 3 version of the code, or a “backwards compatible” phase with a gradual rollout. Given our constraints, we decided to go with the gradual, phased rollout approach which would be safer and allow us to more easily deal with any operational issues we might encounter.
A gradual rollout would mean that our Python code would need to simultaneously support Python 2 and Python 3. Thus, we organized the Python 2 to 3 project into four milestones: upgrade all our dependencies to Python 3.6 compatible versions; make all web application code compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3; get all unit tests passing under Python 2 and Python 3; and finally roll out Python 3 to all servers. The first two milestones could be worked in parallel, while the final two could be started as soon as all the code supported both Python 2 and Python 3.
The goal of this milestone was to ensure all dependencies (third party and those maintained by Rover) explicitly supported Python 3.6. We have over 200 dependencies on both third party libraries as well as Rover-maintained libraries, and many of them have not been upgraded in months or years.
The first step was to conduct a full audit of all our dependencies to determine if a dependency currently supported Python 3.6; if a newer release supported Python 3.6; or if more investigation would be needed to determine Python 3.6 support. Following our philosophical approach, we considered a package to support Python 3.6 only if it declared support in its package metadata or ran unit tests against Python 3.6 as part of automated continuous integration (such as TravisCI).
We found that a large majority of our packages either had a newer version that explicitly supported Python 3.6 or a newer version that explicitly supported some Python 3 version. For the packages that explicitly supported Python 3.6 in a newer version, we scheduled work to conduct the package upgrade; otherwise we attempted to confirm Python 3.6 compatibility by manually running unit tests for the package against Python 3.6. A handful of packages required additional investigation or thought; e.g. in some cases we depended on functionality from an unmaintained package that we could easily replace inside our primary web application.
Philosophically a package upgrade can be a dangerous production change, especially if that package is widely used (such as packages providing templates/user interface functionality). To help us prevent regressions and bugs making it to production for such widely used packages, we turned to a service called Test.IO.
Test.IO provides QA testing as a service, with quick turnaround and comprehensive coverage options. The service allows you to set up proxy access to an environment you set up running your application and takes care of “crowdsourcing” QA testing by finding testers around the world to exercise its various features. Crowdsourced QA is a useful approach because it more closely simulates “real users” who often find bugs that might be missed by internal testing due to bias introduced by e.g. a priori knowledge of the product.
We’ve made use of Test.IO to conduct broadly scoped coverage tests of our web application as part of our dependency upgrade process for particularly widely used packages. Beyond the level of assurance provided by running these changes through QA tests, the Test.IO testers have frequently found impactful pre-existing production bugs. Furthermore, thinking carefully about the feature descriptions we handed off to Test.IO testers to exercise functionality resulted in us having a deeper understanding of our own product and achieving more widespread coverage of our large, complex web application.
While working through auditing and upgrading our numerous dependencies, we’ve also been working on getting all of our web application code compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3. Having code that simultaneously supports both versions of Python makes it significantly easier and safer to plan and execute our phased rollout of Python 3 to production.
To uplift code to be Python 3 syntax compatible, we’ve made use of the futurize tool provided by python-future to automate most of the process. We basically apply the fixes generated by the futurize tool, manually fix up any inconsistencies, ensure that unit tests pass, and ship the change.
How do we reasonably split up the codebase into discrete chunks of work, to avoid shipping too many potentially dangerous changes at once?
How do we prevent non-Python 3 syntax compatible code from being introduced once we’ve uplifted a particular file?
Rover’s primary web application is a Django application. Django’s pattern is to package related parts of the code together into “sub-applications” (think subdirectories within the broader application structure). While in theory these sub-applications would be mostly self-contained, in practice this is rarely the case; many cross-dependencies exist. However, sub-application was a reasonable granularity at least to begin the process.
Rover’s web application contains more than 80 sub-applications with wildly varying amounts of files and code. As you can see below, the “size” of each sub-application in terms of lines of Python code is not evenly distributed across our codebase. Roughly 50% of our code is contained in only 10% of our sub-applications. Because of this distribution, we decided to start with our smallest sub-applications and work our way towards the largest ones. This helped us identify quirks and gotchas in the process, document any workarounds and best practices, and be more well-equipped for tackling our larger sub-applications.
Our approach was to run our codebase through the futurize tool, fix any failing tests, and then merge our changes for each sub-application, at which point that sub-application would be considered Python 2 and Python 3 syntax compatible. However, with such a large code base actively being worked on by 100 developers, we needed to be sure that no regressions would be introduced after completing a sub-application.
In order to accomplish this, we added a step to our continuous integration pipelines that would ensure no Python 3-incompatible syntax would be introduced to any sub-applications we had completed. Whenever a pull request was opened to merge changes into our codebase, we would ensure that futurize suggested no changes to the diff. Furthermore, we ran pylint using --py3k on changes to further ensure Python 3 compatibility.
For the most part this has been minimally disruptive to other developers not actively working on the Python 2 to 3 project. We dealt with any confusion to developers (such as unexpectedly failing continuous integration on pull requests) by explaining and documenting the process, and ensuring we were quickly responsive to any questions that arose.
Upon completion of the first two milestones, we will begin working on getting unit tests running under Python 3. I should note that as of this writing, we have not yet completed the first two milestones and thus have yet started on this milestone; however, our plan remains to tackle this milestone as soon as our code and dependencies are compatible with Python 3.6.
From Rover’s beginning, high unit test coverage has been a priority and we believe this will be a significant factor to successfully rolling out Python 3. Our unit test suite helps gives us high confidence that introducing large-scale changes such as our Python 3 uplift does not break any functionality or introduce regressions. Getting tests passing under Python 3 will be a major milestone and unblock our rollout. At the end of this milestone we’ll be running our unit test suite under both Python 2 and Python 3.
The last step before actually conducting our rollout is to run extensive manual testing of our application under Python 3 in a staging environment. For this phase we also plan on taking advantage of Test.IO’s capabilities to run site-wide QA regression testing (see above). This will help identify any possible bugs that were not covered by our unit test suite.
While we haven’t formally established a rollout plan yet, we have an idea of our approach. In keeping with our goal of zero downtime and minimal impact, we will perform a slow, phased rollout. We use a number of different application server pools to serve requests to different parts of our application. We will rollout Python 3 to a single server in each application pool, carefully monitoring for any errors, request timeouts, or other unexpected behavior. After confirming no functional regressions, we will slowly rollout Python 3 to each server in each application pool, one by one, until our whole application is running under Python 3.
The purpose of this phased rollout is to minimize “blast radius,” or the maximum possible scope of impact to our customers. For example, imagine that our Python 3 changes broke a certain endpoint in our application. By rolling out the change to only a single server, we will only experience request failures from any requests being served by that particular server. That minimizes the number of customers impacted and prevents issues from becoming too widespread. This manual approach requires additional effort, but helps us achieve our goals while adhering to our philosophical approach of zero downtime and minimal business and customer impact.
As of this writing (April 2019) we are currently most of the way through the first two milestones. So far our approach has been successful. We’ve been able to move steadily and deliberately through our dependencies and our codebase with minimal disruption to our developers and very few hiccups in the process. We hope to begin our work to get unit tests passing in Python 3 soon, and we’re eager to begin our rollout! We’ll revisit this process and post an updated blog as we get closer to being fully Python 3.

What Happens During A Social Security Disability Hearing?
What Kind Of Questions Will The Judge Ask You?
At a hearing, the Judge will be looking to see whether or not you can engage in “substantial gainful activity.” The Judge will ask you questions about your disability and the way that it affects your life such as: how much pain you are in, which parts of your body hurt the most, and how that pain affects your ability to work and do other normal activities, like driving or sitting comfortably. They want to know whether or not the disability has had a significant impact on your ability to enjoy life the same way that you used to.
Be sure to practice answering questions like these questions before your hearing. The best way to answer a Judge’s question is by answering directly. Judges ask specific questions because they want specific answers. They have very limited time to conduct hearings and they want answers quickly so that they can make their decision.
An expert witness is a professional, who is hired by the Social Security Administration. They will offer testimony regarding their professional opinion about how your disability will affect your work. There are two types of expert witness that will be likely to be at your Social Security Disability hearing: a Medical Expert and a Vocational Expert.
A Medical Expert is a doctor or other medical professional that is experienced with the type of disability that you have. They will be able to give testimony about whether or not someone with your particular medical condition(s) is likely to suffer from the symptoms that you claim to suffer from.
A Vocational Expert is someone that is very familiar with the types of work that you have done throughout your career. They will be able to examine your symptoms and tell the Judge whether or not you are physically or mentally capable of doing the types of work that you have done in the past.
It is important to remember that the experts are hired by, and paid by, the Social Security Administration. This does not mean that their testimony is always going to be against you, but it does mean that they are not necessarily “on your side” either.
Should You Hire a Lawyer For Your Hearing?
If you hire a lawyer, they will be physically by your side at a hearing. Hearings can be very intimidating and the Judge and expert witnesses will probably not be on your side. Remember, if you are at a hearing, it means that you have already been denied twice, so the Judge needs a good reason to give you an award. Having a lawyer there will ensure that you have someone on your side, fighting for you. You are twice as likely to get a favorable decision if you hire a Social Security Disability lawyer during your claim for benefits. Read more.

UNIQA CEO Andreas Brandstetter delivers a positive summary of the progress so far of the “UNIQA 2.0” growth strategy launched in 2011. “In the last five years, we have rigorously pursued and largely achieved our ambitious targets,” Brandstetter says. “Since the economic capital ratio according to Solvency II (EIOPA standard formula) has been strengthened step by step over the last years to over 180 per cent, UNIQA now has a healthy, strong equity base and high operating profitability. Following the re-IPO in 2013, we have created a corporate structure fit for the capital market and continuously increased the number of customers from 7.5 million in 2011 to more than 10 million today,” says Brandstetter on the significant momentum of development in recent years.
As a result of this strategy programme set to run until 2020, UNIQA generated the best nine-month result in the company’s history at the end of the third quarter with EBT of €301.9 million. “In the 2015 financial year, we expect to achieve the best result in the company’s history,” says Brandstetter, giving a forecast of the financial year 2015 results.
Brandstetter sees digitalisation as a key driver of new business models converging from the “new and old economy” and one of the biggest challenges UNIQA will have to face in the future. The diversity of convergent product and service offers emerging in recent years is leading in particular to fundamental changes in customer expectations and behaviour. This disruptive development of a new market environment sets UNIQA the challenge of rethinking the own business model and the underlying products and processes from the customers’ perspective. “The digitalisation and digital networking of existing offers, which UNIQA has successfully promoted in recent years, are the first steps in the right direction, but they will be far from sufficient,” says Brandstetter, pointing to examples such as the “SafeLiner” in car insurance or the VitalCoaches and medical call centre in healthcare. “We have to bring our offering much closer to where our customers intuitively expect security and associated services,” says the UNIQA CEO.
“In order to trigger the necessary innovation boost, we are launching the largest innovation programme in the company’s history and will invest around €500 million in our future over the next few years. The investments, a good portion of which will be made in 2016, will largely go on the redesign of the business model, the necessary build-up of staff expertise and the required IT systems,” Brandstetter specifies. “In the core business, we are transforming ourselves from a provider of insurance products into an integrated service provider that meets customers in their ‘needs environment’,” says the UNIQA CEO. In the future, this may be the application-controlled ‘smart home’, the self-driving car or any form of free-time activity that aims at a healthy, better and longer life. An essential requirement for this is the best possible convergence of new technology with the already close-knit network of local UNIQA advisors.
A good portion of the considerable future investments will take effect in 2016 and is thus reflected in the short term by an altered earnings forecast. In combination with the persistently difficult conditions, such as the still-moderate economic outlook, ongoing low interest rates, sinking investment income and political uncertainty in individual markets in particular, UNIQA expects significantly reduced earnings in the 2016 financial year compared to 2015. Preliminary figures for 2015 will be published at the beginning of March 2016.
UNIQA has distributed a higher dividend per share every year since 2012. With dividend payments of 25 cents per share for the 2012 financial year, 35 cents for 2013 and 42 cents for 2014, the UNIQA share has evolved into a progressive dividend stock. “Despite the considerable investments in the future and the challenging economic environment, we intent to still continuously increase the annual distribution per share in the years to come,” Brandstetter says of his plan to continue the progressive dividend policy.

Castor, also known as Alpha Geminorum, is a star system in the constellation of Gemini. Despite the star's alpha Bayer designation, it is the second brightest star of the Gemini constellation, with a total apparent magnitude of +1.58. Originally thought as a single binary star system, the Castor system is actually three sets of tight, spectroscopic binary stars. Based on measurements from the Hipparcos mission, it is estimated that the Castor system is 51.6 light years away.
The modern name for the star, Castor, is named for the character of the same name in Greek mythology, who was one of the twin sons of Zeus and Leda. During the era of ancient Greece though, the star was called Ἀπόλλων, (pronounced apóllɔːn), meaning Apollo. In Arabic, the star was called Al Rās al Taum al Muḳaḍḍim, meaning the Head of the Foremost Twin.
The first binary pair, Castor A, has a class A dwarf as its primary star (Castor Aa). Astronomers haven't been able to determine decidedly if its secondary star (Castor Ab) is a class M red dwarf or a class A dwarf. Castor B, the second binary pair, is the same. These first two binary pairs orbit each other with an average separation of 104 AU, and take around 445 years to complete. The orbit is quite elliptical with the two pairs get as close as 71 AU, and as far apart as 138 AU, an eccentricity of 0.32. The third binary pair (Castor C) is made up of two, faint class M dwarfs and is separated from the inner quadruple of stars by more than 1,100 AU, with an orbit that may take 10,000 years to complete. These two outer stars are both considered flare stars and thus also designated with the variable star name of YY Geminorum AB.
The primary star of the Castor A binary pair, Castor Aa, is a main sequence blue-white star of spectral class A1 V, similar to Sirius. The star is estimated to have a mass 2.15 times that of our Sun, with a radius 2.3 times as great. The bright, blue-white star has a visual luminosity between 17 and 34 times that of our Sun. Both Castor Aa and its companion have a lower metallicity then our own Sun. Castor Aa is separated from its companion Ab by an average distance of only 0.022 AUs, but their orbit is highly eccentric (e=0.499). It takes a total of 9.21 days for the two stars to complete an orbit.
Castor Ab is a main sequence dwarf star, however its spectral type is not exactly known. The star may be either a class M red dwarf or a class A blue-white dwarf, similar to Castor Aa. The star is estimated to have a mass that ranges from 40 to 60 percent greater than our own Sun. The star's radius and luminosity is not known. Castor Ab has been repeatedly observed having frequent broadband and x-ray flares, normally associated with red dwarf stars.
The combined visual luminosity of Castor Aab is more than 34 times that of the Sun. For an Earth-like world to comfortably maintain liquid water on its surface, the hypothetical planet would have to orbit more than 6.0 AU from the Castor Aab pair, comparable to an orbit distance of Jupiter from our Sun.
The primary star of the Castor B binary pair, Castor Ba, is a blue-white, main sequence star of spectral class A2-5 Vm. The star is considered to be similar to Fomalhaut. Castor Ba is estimated to have a mass 1.7 times that of our Sun, and some 1.6 times its diameter. The star has some 14 times the visual luminosity of our Sun. The Castor B pair have a highly circular orbit around each other (e=0.01), with an average distance of 0.03 AUs, allowing them to complete an orbit in only 2.93 days.
Like Castor Ab, the second star of the Castor B binary is a main sequence dwarf of an unknown spectral type. The star may be a class M red dwarf or a class A blue-white dwarf, much like its primary companion. The question of the star's spectral type stems from the fact, like Castor Ab, there are frequent x-ray flares from the star. The mass of this star is also estimated to range from 40 to 60 percent more than our Sun, although its visual luminosity and diameter may be less than the Sun.
For an Earth-like planet that orbits the Castor Bab pair, the distance the star needs to be for liquid water to comfortably exist on its surface, is around 4.0 AU - about the same distance of the Asteroid Belt from our Sun.
Castor Ca, also know by its variable star name YY Geminorum Aa, is a red, main sequence dwarf of spectral type M0.5 Ve. Like the other two binary pairs, it is part of a spectroscopic binary stars. Castor Ca is only 2.6 percent as visually luminous as our own Sun. The Star contains 62 percent of the Sun's mass by comparison and 76 percent of its diameter. Like many class M stars, Castor Ca is a variable flare star that frequently flares, especially in the x-ray range of the spectrum.
Castor Ca and Cb are, on average, some 0.018 AUs apart in their circular orbit. This allows the two stars to complete an orbit in only 19.5 hours. From our vantage point on Earth, one star will regularly eclipse the other during their orbit, as the two star's orbit is very near the line of sight. Because of the very close orbit, both stars rotate rapidly from the resultant tidal forces.
The companion Castor Cb, also called by its variable star name, YY Geminorum Ab, is a main sequence red dwarf of spectral type M0.5 Ve. The star has 68 percent of the Sun's diameter and 57 percent of its mass. It is estimated to be only 2.6 as visually luminous as the Sun.
For an Earth-like world to sustain liquid water on its surface comfortably, the hypothetical planet's orbit would be centered around 0.23 Au from the Castor Cab pair. This would be a closer orbit than that of Mercury around our Sun. At such a close orbit, the world would be tidally locked to the star pair and be highly vulnerable to the occasion massive flares.

I love seeing a design idea/sketch come to life when I start creating it on the computer.
Aroma Candles is a handcrafted home fragrance company. They offer great smelling candles and products at affordable prices. The scents of their collection of candles and the colour of the product packaging takes inspiration from places around the world. All their candles are made from premium soy wax and high end fragrance oils that are hand sourced in Australia.
Your Next Step is a travel company that aims to inspire people to travel to different places around the world. The company also wants to encourage people to write about their travel experiences by writing in a travel journal or sending a postcard to a friend. The Your Next Step magazine features stories written by travellers.
I loved learning about different elements of graphic design, particularly colour, branding and layout design. I also like that each module throughout the course was really different and interesting. I loved developing my skills during the course and being able to see my work evolve and get better.
Hey Amy! Tell us a bit about you?
Hi, I’m Amy. I’m 23 years old and live in Sydney, Australia. Some of my passions and pastimes include travelling to knew and exciting places, hanging out with my Golden Retriever Zoe, playing netball, drinking lemon and honey tea, reading a good book or magazine, doing Pilates, and designing.
I originally studied marketing when I finished high school and wanted an extra skill to go with it. Little did I know I would be finding a new passion of mine.
I am currently applying for new jobs that are within the design world. I’m hoping to find a role where I can use the skills I have leant from my marketing and design courses.
I love layout design, particularly creating magazine layouts. I also really like branding. It was a very exciting process to create the design brief for a client and then come up with a logo and brand identity to represent that company.
I really like the work I created for my module 10 assessment, when we had to create a campaign design project. I created a company called ‘Your Next Step’ and the concept behind my campaign was to inspire people to travel and journal about their thoughts and feelings while experiencing different places and cultures. I created a magazine, journal covers and postcards. This assessment featured two of my passions, layout design and travel.
The Aroma Candles logo and packaging design was created in module 12. I again wanted to create a simple and minimal logo for the company as well as very clean and crisp packaging design for the products.
I love creating magazine layouts so a dream job would be to work as an art director for a lifestyle/travel or fashion magazine.
Enjoy it and have fun! There were times when I was studying that I would get stuck on an assessment, but there are so many great resources available to you when you need help, so make sure you use them.

Tomorrow morning, I will catch an airplane to Rapid City, where my parents will pick me up, and we will spend the day touring around in South Dakota. On Sunday, we'll drive down to Scottsbluff and Bayard to meet up with family, then we'll hightail back across the state to Lincoln, where my folks will hang out for a couple of days.
I will have a very short layover in Denver.
This itinerary might not make a whole lot of sense, except that I should visit those extended family members out in the other part of the state, and also I suspect my father is both in no condition to drive and uninterested in driving anyway.
Towards the tail end of work, I was suddenly overcome with fatigue, so instead of getting any work done this evening I took a nap and did laundry. Sorry, manuscript. You'll just have to wait.

OK I am going to go out on a limb here, but since we have just survived yet another predicted date of the rapture, I am going to say that possibly Harold Camping is neither in close contact with God, nor able to correctly interpret biblical prophecy.
Yes, this is written on the 22nd of October 2011. The author is proud (but perhaps somewhat confused) to have survived both the 21st of May 2011 and the 21st of October 2011. Unless of course the rapture occurred while I wasn’t paying attention (I did have a few glasses of wine last night) and I am in fact one of those left behind. In which case everyone I know has also been left behind, and you, dear reader, are left behind as well.
1. the rapture would start at the international date line as the day clicked over to the correct date and time (5.59PM), and would progressively work itself around the world . Therefore the US would essentially get almost 24hours warning it was coming. This hardly seems fair.
2. Camping (and therefore according to him, God) didn’t specify which time zone this was in (sloppy work on the part of God to not specify this – or perhaps our correspondent, Camping, doesn’t understand about time zones). This would mean that while part of the earth would be raptured at the predicted date / time, another part would either be early (cheated – I was just about to confess! I thought I had until 5.59pm!) or up to 18 hours late – and on the next date.
So perhaps this is just the latest version of the televangelist “God wants you to send all your money to the PO Box that you see on your screen now”. Have we not moved on from this? This was not a victimless crime – in May 2011 it was reported that a number of people had in fact quit their jobs and sold all their possessions to fund and work for the campaign to spread the word of the coming apocalypse. I can only hope that this hasn’t happened again.
I think it is time for Harold Camping to quietly fade into history, and not keep coming up with new dates.
Perhaps I am over-thinking this.
Like some more over-thinking on the religion questions? Try Is hell exothermic or endothermic?

I love this… nothing and everything… I miss getting my fingers sticky… but I love writing and playing with photos… not so sticky… and it is nothing and everything all at the same time for me… it is how I play with abandon.
I say. always go with the flow... if writing does not come every day... then go with the whatever drives you to create... collage is wonderful too.

Neurofeedback in Boulder, CO and Beyond!
maximize results with minimum effort for your family.
the smell of the sagebrush which is the moment you are in now.
Neurofeedback is a method for perceiving a person’s brainwave activity and consciously modulating it to optimize that person’s performance. Neurofeedback helps strengthen the rate and quality of neuro-communication between all areas of the brain. It enables people to transcend ineffective thoughts, and behavior patterns so they can optimize their potential.
Neurofeedback is proven to decrease stress, anxiety and trauma and increase attachment, learning, and performance. Neurofeedback is used for many conditions including: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), cognitive impairments caused by acquired brain injuries, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, stress-related syndromes, mood disorders (e.g. depressive and bipolar disorders), anxiety disorders, medically-uncontrolled seizures, cerebral palsy, and related issues (e.g., sleep problems, chronic pain). It is also used to enhance peak performance (both athletic and artistic).
Neurofeedback differs from other approaches in that it is non-invasive, non-toxic, and non-addictive and uses the strength of the individual’s own brain and healing systems to increase the individual’s functioning. Neurofeedback training helps people to learn how to direct their brain away from counterproductive mental patterns and reflexes, and redirect it toward flexibility and resilience. Using computerized feedback, the brain learns to increase certain brainwaves that are helpful for improved function. The brain can decrease excessive fast or slow brainwaves that interfere with good function. Over time, the result is a healthier and better-regulated brain. Once your brain learns the optimal pathways to success, it never forgets. Bodies that have found the new neural routes will remember how to find the zone and stay in flow. Neurofeedback supports the capacity to relate, relax and heal, as well as the ability to perform and respond from our most skilled place. The benefits of Neurofeedback training are deep, profound, cumulative and unchanging.
the brain, calms it, and improves its stability.
It’s easy – virtually anyone can do it.
Neurofeedback was recently approved by the American Pediatric Association!
The FDA has approved Neurofeedback for Stress Reduction!
Q. What makes this safe?
A. Unlike the older versions of Neurofeedback that had an “expert” deciding how to direct the brain, this sophisticated technology uses the innate intelligence of each individual brain to learn self-regulation, maximizing its safety.
A. Yes. Much like learning to ride a bike, your body remembers the new neuropathways and they are always there to choose from in the future.
Q. How long does it take to see/feel results?
Q. Is Neurofeedback hard to do?
A. Its easy! You just sit back and relax. After the central nervous system relaxes, the surrounding issues dissolve with ease.
Neurofeedback is cutting-edge technology with decades of history and research. Neurofeedback has been utilized for more than 30 years with the first published study of its efficacy appearing in 1970. Ample research supports the effectiveness of Neurofeedback on a plethora of symptoms. Leaders in the field of Neurofeedback experience a success rate of nearly 90 percent (Robbins 2008). Efficacy studies continue to be published and many well-educated and well-trained clinicians have found this modality to be an effective adjunct to multi-disciplinary treatment.
There is more research on the effectiveness of Neurofeedback then there is on Ritalin!

Just a few hours after I landed in Bangalore on the Kerala RTC Volvo Multi-axle bus, I was staring at another need to head home urgently. I hadn't decided what bus to take even as I drove to office that morning. Later in the evening, I was sure that I'd have to go. Although I'd be traveling on a weekday, I did not want to risk traveling unreserved. I booked a ticket through the counter - my first ever reservation ticket to my own home town - Kodungallur. Yes! I was traveling by the only Bangalore-Kodungallur connection by Kerala RTC - the 1500 hrs Bangalore-Piravam Super Deluxe.
I left office around 1300hrs. I somehow got a bus to Shivajinagar from there. I was at Shivajinagar by around 1345hrs - I was a bit worried as I stood at Shivajinagar - I had this feeling that I should've taken a bus to Majestic instead. Although one bus headed to KR Market was parked there, I wasn't sure when it would leave. I finally decided to hire an autorickshaw instead. Initially a couple of guys refused to come, while another guy asked for an astronomical figure to get there. Later an auto guy agreed, and put on the meter. He took about 30 minutes to wade through the traffic and drop me at Satellite bus station. I had a very light lunch from a restaurant there, and then stocked some light snacks and water for the journey up ahead.
I generally do not prefer non-ac buses for long trips and, hence, was a bit worried of how things would shape up ahead. This was to me my first trip in a TATA Super Deluxe of Kerala RTC as well. I walked around and checked my bus which was parked at the bus station. The driver was from Sulthan Bathery, while the conductor was from the operating depot, Piravom. The bus was parked at the platform by 1430hrs. In the meantime, I saw some known crew in a Kerala RTC Volvo parked nearby - spent sometime talking to them. I got into my bus only by 1455hrs. The conductor was no where to be seen. He turned up a couple of minutes later and quickly checked the reservation tickets. I did a blunder by choosing seat #7, which is a window seat on the right. I realised my goof-up as the bus got moving - the sun was on my side! This was my first trip in the TATA Super Deluxes. The first thing that impressed me was the humongous leg space - this bus was built on a 11.1M chassis, and has the same number of seats as that on a 10.8M Leyland. So the extra 30 cms meant the bus gave better leg room. The build quality of this bus was far better than the Leylands - probably because these took more time for building, and were built under less delivery pressures. The bus started off from Satellite BS, at 1458hrs - two minutes before time.
The bus: RSC774, KL-15-A-270, of Piravom depot. Piravom is a town in Ernakulam district.
The driver was a bit heavy on the accelerator. He wanted to maintain as high as speed as he could - because we had to cross the forest before 9pm (the vehicle ban on the forest road is from 9pm to 6am). I need to mention that he wasn't rash though. I kept the curtains closed - but the open windows wouldn't let it remain so. I had felt uneasy on the Super Deluxe' seat last time, and it was the same this time as well. But this time I realised that the hand rests were too low, and that was probably what made me uneasy. This bus too had refurbished Harita seats loaned from an older bus. I somehow did sleep a bit. I woke up everytime the bus stopped - because the heat wouldn't let me sleep. The bus reached Mysore bus station at 1739hrs - that was about 2hours and 40 minutes for the distance. There were some reserved passengers from here - but the bus filled up with a lot of unreserved passengers, mainly those headed to Sulthan Bathery and Kozhikode.
We started from Mysore at 1742hrs. The driver was quick on the road. There was a traffic block near JSS Hospital. After clearing the block, the driver maintained good pace again. We stopped at Nanjangud (1821hrs) to pick-up a passenger, and then continued. I tried sleeping a bit, but was a bit too uneasy. I was expecting the bus to stop for a break near Gundlupet, but we continued past the regular place. The bus stopped outside Gundlupet bus station (1904hrs) - although there were no empty seats, and lone lady passenger was take in. The conductor gave his seat and shifted to the cabin. Traffic was quite heavy on the road - almost all the vehicles on the road were rushing to make it past the forest before it closes.
The driver slowed down as we entered the forest. The road is lined with a lot of speed breakers, and hence he did not drive too fast. We passed the state border at 1954hrs. It is always delightful when the border checkposts open up on seeing the bus - benefit of riding a government bus. Our bus was allowed to pass through all the checkposts without any checks. The driver pick up pace soon after exiting the forest. The road was quite winding now. The driver was quite fast now - probably the excitement of his duty ending. The bus pulled into a fuel station a bit before Sulthan Bathery for fuel (2017hrs). A couple of other KSRTC buses were also around. We took in 60 litres of diesel and set off again at 2020hrs. We finally pulled into the KSRTC bus station at Sulthan Bathery, at 2025hrs. The driver announced a dinner break as he got off the bus.
I was a bit surprised about the bus taking a dinner break at the bus station - atleast Super Deluxe buses (and above) should preferably stop at better restaurants. The canteen did not have much items on the menu, and the service was quite lousy. The food was average, but the rates were not too expensive. The overall ambiance was awful though. After about 20 minutes, the new driver took over, and the bus was moved to the terminal area. We started off from Sulthan Bathery at 2053hrs. The new driver was a bit slow in the beginning. As we started off from Bathery, all the seats were filled again - this time, almost all the new passengers were to Ernakulam. The crowd proved that there is ample scope for more intra-state premium services.
A while into the run, the bus was flagged down by a ticket checking squad - they came around and checked tickets of all the passengers. We reached Kalpetta at 2125hrs - the ticket checking squad got off here. A couple of passengers got off as well. It was a bit cold outside, and hence most of the people had closed their windows. I was already sweating off, and kept my window open. I wanted to see the ghats, and the way the bus handles it. I was taking a KSRTC bus through the ghats after a good 5 years (my last trip was in February 2009). As we started descending the ghats, I understood that the driver was using the exhaust brakes efficiently - this meant the brakes were softer and more efficient. We were spared the characteristic screeching sound as well. The first few hair-pin bends of the total 9 were handled easily. Soon as the hair-pin bends started, the front door was kept open, and the conductor was called to the cabin. In three of the 9 hairpin bends, the bus had to back and turn. Once the ghats finished, the conductor was back on his seat, and was fast asleep again. The driver seemed to be a regular on the route, and he handled the bus really well.
As we finished the ghats, it because hotter and sultry. I was quite uneasy now. The art leather finish seats only added to the misery. The heat made me tired, and I fell asleep somewhere in between. I woke up only as the bus was approaching Kozhikode bus station. We pulled into Kozhikode at 2312hrs - a good 18 minutes before time. As soon as the bus pulled in, a lot of passengers came and mobbed the front door. I somehow sneaked through outside and got a bottle of cold water - something to help me overcome the heat. The conductor gave priority to passengers heading to Ernakulam - this did create a small scene. A passenger heading to Tirur was not permitted in - and this is the only bus that goes that way. This passenger shouted and did not let the bus move - the police came in and pacified the passenger and let us leave. We started off from Kozhikode at 2322hrs - 8 minutes early.
I reattempted sleeping now - the heat was still the deterrent. In the meantime, the driver thought he must stop for tea - he pulled into a tea stall at Kakkenchery (2349hrs) for a quick break - but almost all the passenger got down for tea and short stroll. I kept walking around the bus for some time. We started off again at 2359hrs. Somehow, I fell asleep. I woke up just as the passenger seated next to me got up - we were in Tirur (0043hrs) now. Two passengers got off - since we did not go to the bus station, nobody got in. I slept off again. I woke up again, as the bus was starting off from Ponnani (0111hrs). I wanted to see which route we would take, but sleep overpowered me again. I woke up only as the bus was entering Guruvayur bus station - 0138hrs. The funniest thing here was that the conductor was fast asleep when the bus entered the bus station - the driver had to wake him up and send him to the station master.
A few passengers got off, and a similar number got in from Guruvayur - some of them were to Kodungallur. We started from Guruvayur at 0141hrs - I was determined not to sleep anymore, but couldn't really control. I slept off again - a point to note is that I was falling asleep more due to exhaustion due to the heat. I vaguely remember seeing Mathilakam - but continued sleeping. Sometime later, I woke up with a shock. I strained to understand where we were - and I was shocked that we had just crossed the private bus station in Kodungallur. I somehow regained my senses and jumped up from my seat. Hurriedly collected by bag from the overhead rack. By now the driver had stopped outside the temple, and he woke up the conductor - who literally jumped up from his seat shouting "Kodungallur". I got off the bus at 0234hrs - 34 minutes late. I was a bit surprised to see passengers waiting for this bus even at that time!
End Notes: The bus, KL-15-A-270, Fleet number RSC774, of Piravom depot was commissioned sometime in March 2014. The bus was kept in fairly good shape, and did not have the characteristic rattles seen with buses built by Central Workshop. But I guess one flooring panel was loose, and it made a rattling sound throughout the trip - the sound worsens when the bus idles. The leg space is the only thing that I loved the most in the bus - its huge. One can move his legs comfortably even when the seat ahead is pushed back to the maximum. The bus is value for money for people who don't mind traveling non-AC. I was exhausted by the time I reached Kodungallur though - I could feel sweat dripping off my shirt as I got off the bus. I was happy with the fact that I reached home in less than 12 hours even after going through the ghat route. The end-to-end run time was about 11hours and 36 minutes.
Will I take this service again? Oops! Not my cup-of-tea. I might consider it during the winter though.
Took this service last Friday end to end. It was the other bus not RSC 768 or so.
Things were quite opposite from your journey-the rattling noises came when the bus moved and not when the bus was idle.
The first driver showed no urgency and stopped for everyone who waved on the road. He allowed everyone to overtake us-including Pala Deluxe.
Somehow we did MCTC-MYS in 2hrs 45 min. Dinner break was at Gundulpet and not SBY (19.00-19.25). When we started a passenger complained that his I Pad was stolen! To cut a long story short, we went to Gundulpet Police Station and they checked everyone but in vain. Finally we were allowed to move at 20.25. It was an anxious run afterwards, but we finally crossed border around 20.50! Reached SBY at 21.25 & left at 21.45 after driver change and refuelling.
It was speed show after SBY by second driver- we did SBY KKD in 2 hrs 10 min flat and SBY Edappally in 3hrs flat! Reached EKM at 03.20-03.35 (40 min early) & finally PVM at 04.15 (45 min early)!
Crew were very well behaved-they handled the theft situation well, managed to cross border. The second driver was the hero-starting from SBY almost 45 min late and managing to reach EKM 45 min early! He wasn't rash anywhere.
