At what level of L do diminishing total returns begin? PM = OIL – AL. Marginal product peaks when L = 5 and equals zero when L = 10. Thus, diminishing marginal returns begin when L = 5, and diminishing returns begin when L = 10. Part B: True-false questions [3 points each] Note: Use diagrams and/or equations to explain your answer. ALL answer points for explanation. ‘V. Intermediate Microeconomics By shanghais This firm could produce more output with fewer inputs. This cannot be profit maximizing. A graph of the production function would be helpful.
In the vicinity of diminishing total returns, the production function is downward-sloped indicating that additional inputs decrease output and, equivalently, fewer inputs increase output. If increasing returns to scale are present, the long-run average cost increases as more output is produced.
False. Increasing returns to scale imply that with a doubling of inputs, output more than doubles. Since average cost is the ratio of total cost divided by output, this increase in inputs will cause the numerator to be Just double the old value while the new denominator is more than double the old value.
As a result, long-run average cost falls as more output is produced.

PHARR, Texas—U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the Pharr International Bridge cargo facility discovered 3,947 pounds of alleged marijuana within a commercial shipment of key limes.
“This is an outstanding interception of narcotics. Our CBP officers continue to excel in their knowledge of smuggling techniques which allows them to intercept these kinds of attempts to introduce narcotics into our country,” said Port Director Efrain Solis Jr., Hidalgo/Pharr/Anzalduas Port of Entry.
The seizure occurred on January 30, when CBP officers assigned to the Pharr International Bridge cargo facility encountered a 2001 Freightliner tractor trailer. After the conveyance was referred for a secondary inspection, CBP officers utilized a non-intrusive imagining (NII) system along with the help of a canine team to locate the narcotics. CBP officers extracted 34,764 packages containing a total of 3,947.37 pounds of alleged marijuana commingled within the shipment of key limes.
CBP OFO seized the drugs, valued at approximately $789,467. The case remains under investigation by Homeland Security Investigations special agents.

The first book in the Narnia series, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, has made a stunning transition to the silver screen. The child heroes were each fully-realized characters, and the respective avatars of Good and Evil — Liam Neeson and Tilda Swinton — were impressively so. The casting alone would have made this a worthy film, but while C.S. Lewis himself was opposed to a real life telling of his story, fearing for the believability of his non-human characters, he needn’t have worried.
The near-perfect realization of the mundane and mystical denizens of Narnia is easily the greatest achievement of this film, and is surely a new milestone in visual effects history. That this film version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe owes its existence to the modern Lord of the Rings series is undeniable, for it relies not only on the same effects house, but was surely greenlit based on the success of it’s darker, more mature predecessor. It is also undeniable that Weta FX outdid their previous work, if only by showing their exceptional virtual creations in well-lit, non-combat settings for a change. You’ll really believe a beaver can weep, a centaur can be irked, and a lion can be compassionate.
Some may fear a hidden agenda is buried within the Chronicles, and while it does seem to value Good more than Evil, this film was no more spiritual than the Lord of the Rings, Star Wars or Matrix franchises. Whatever C.S. Lewis’ personal beliefs, Disney has made an excellent film that will be enjoyed by young and old of any faith… or no faith at all.

So here’s how the late Apple co-founder will hit the big screen: via the grinning mug of current Two and a Half Men and former That ’70s Show star Ashton Kutcher, who will play Steve Jobs in an indie simply called Jobs.

(TNS) — Health authorities in Canada and the Netherlands this week announced plans to suspend sales of rough-surfaced breast implants that are tied to a rare form of lymphoma.
The actions came just days after France became the first country to ban sales of numerous brands of textured and polyurethane-coated implants — and a week after U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisers rejected the idea of sales restrictions.
Health Canada is suspending sales of Allergan’s Biocell brand of textured implants because 24 out of 28 confirmed reports of the cancer in that county involved Biocell. The malignancy is technically called breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BI-ALCL).
“To protect Canadians from the rare but serious risk of BI-ALCL, Health Canada is advising Allergan that the department intends to suspend its licenses for Biocell as a precautionary measure,” Health Canada said on Thursday.
The release said Allergan had been asked to provide new evidence of safety within 15 days. If a “satisfactory response” is not received by then, Biocell will be ordered off the market.
In December, Allergan halted sales and withdrew inventory of textured implants in European markets after the French agency that oversees medical devices in the European Union suspended its approval, called a CE mark.
CAIRO — A renegade militia seeking to storm its way into Libya’s capital battled for control of the international airport Saturday in a showdown that threatened to spill into bloody urban combat in the streets of Tripoli.
Fighters loyal to warlord Khalifa Hifter said they had overrun the airport on the southern edge of the city. But forces for Libya’s U.N.-backed government mounted a counterattack, and it remained unclear which side held the airfield.
Earlier Saturday, government warplanes targeted Hifter’s militiamen in attempts to stop his push toward Tripoli. Human rights activists, meanwhile, warned that civilians could be caught in the middle if the fighting escalates for control of Tripoli.

Apple and OpenJDK: was I wrong?
Apple has announced it will contribute to the OpenJDK project, so there's probably no risk that MacOS-specific pieces of the current JDK will be lost. Probably the next, Oracle-backed JDK will be just fine on Mac and will probably be released on time.
why such a bad timing? Apple could have deprecated his Java and announced OpenJDK participation at the same time - and that would have been good news. I don't understand if Apple had already chosen to contribute to OpenJDK or it had been pushed in that direction once it saw what happened in the dev community after their deprecation.
It's still not clear why I can't use Java in a software I'd like to distribute within the Mac App Store. If it's Oracle backed it's not a "deprecated technology" anymore, right? The language restriction was lifted even in iOS apps, why should it come back on Mac apps?

The Livi hitman is set to be the subject of an SFA compliance citation in the days ahead for his act of aggression.
Dolly Menga faces trial by TV after the Livingston striker’s headbutt on Ryan Christie was missed by referee Kevin Clancy.
The Livi hitman is set to be the subject of an SFA compliance citation in the days ahead for his act of aggression in the first half of their 0-0 draw with Celtic.
Menga and Christie jostled in the box ahead of a corner – with TV pictures showing the Angolan nutting the Celtic midfielder on the blindside of all the match officials.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers said: “He should have been sent off.
“I thought so in real time. I thought he gestured his head towards Ryan and when I saw it after the game he was very lucky to stay on the pitch.
Livi boss Gary Holt did not witness the clash first-hand and said: “I didn’t see it, I know nothing about it. I’ll have to look at it.
A potential retrospective red card for Menga would be the only downside to a day in which Livi showed why they deserve to be in the top flight. With keeper Liam Kelly outstanding to deny the Hoops, Holt was full of praise for his team.
He added: “My players were immense. Brendan will probably say the same about his. It was a really good game of football.
“My keeper has produced some great saves but it’s his job, it’s what he’s paid to do. Would I have wanted him a bit less busy? Aye. But we had chances as well.
“Liam deserves the praise he’s getting and the credit. You just hope others are taking note because I believe he should be on the fringes or in the squads for people to see what he’s about, expose him to international football.
Craig Halkett led by example at the back and the skipper’s grit summed up the Livi spirit. He injured his hamstring in 18 minutes but stayed on.

UPDATE November 2017: No need to subscribe/log in any more, just click on the NEWS link above to access the latest news, useful tips, links and products to keep your birds safe, happy and healthy.
We’ll keep an eye on current best practice in the media, both here and abroad, to provide up-to-date practical advice pertinent to small-scale poultry keepers. We are a fledgling group, hoping to extend our remit as support grows.
Existing organizations that represent the commercial poultry industry, smallholders, breeders or those who exhibit, offer advice that seems irrelevant and draconian to those who just want to keep a few hens in their gardens.
In the event of another health scare, it is important that our voice is heard among other interested parties, and that our flocks are protected, both from the disease and a visit from the men in white. During the avian flu outbreak, the Henkeepers’ Association was represented as a stakeholder during meetings with Defra, and we frequently advise the media on poultry keeping issues.
Keep up-to-date with the latest news and products designed to help poultry keepers protect and care for their birds. Contact us with your problems and we will do our best to help. Send us your tips and any info you feel other members appreciate and we’ll pass them on.

On Chinua Achebe’s Book on the Nigerian Civil War and the Aftermath!
It is quite difficult for one to stand at any time without having to turn his back on someone or something. This is the exact situation for anyone who attempts to write a book on a controversial subject like the Nigeria-Biafra War (1967-70). In a period of renewed agitation for the sovereign state of Biafra in Nigeria’s South Eastern Region, writing on this topic can lead to serious emotive reactions. This is the case with Chinua Achebe’s There Was a Country.
The book beautifully captures the story of a people who are enterprising, industrious, passionate, ambitious, determined, resilient, gallantry in battle, struggling for survival and their desire for freedom in the face of a repressive, neo-feudal and domineering state founded upon injustice and contradictions which are too obvious to ignore!
While it is true that several books have been written on the subject of the Biafran War, few have come under intense reviews like this one. The reasons for this are not hard to find!
Firstly, the author is a well-known literary giant who has written several literary classics including Things Fall Apart; so, many critics were probably expecting a more creative or “artistic” dimension as the standard set by the author for himself. The fact that his tone sounded more like a politician rather than the literary giant we know added to this seeming disappointment. Many probably recall that Achebe served as Biafran Ambassador during the war. Does anyone wonder why the book is subtitled, A Personal History of Biafra?
Secondly, the timing of the publication appears faulty, coming at a time when Nigeria was facing its biggest security challenge which is the insurgency in the North East. This did not go down well with many Nigerians because of the heated debates that greeted the arrival of the book perfectly explains the situation!
The book is divided into four parts, each contributing uniquely to its central theme. Part 1 deals with the author’s formative years; the historicity of the Nigerian state and the causes (immediate and remote) of the war including some frantic efforts on both parts to forestall the needless disaster like the famous Aburi Accord!
Part 2 deals with the bloodshed, the rising casualties on both sides and the roles of international actors. This part also details the conspiracies, betrayals, intricacies and the complexities of national and international politics all conspiring resulting in extended casualties during the war. This part also explains the gallantry and the industry of the Biafran army in effectively (and sometimes poor strategy) resisting the “almighty” Nigerian army throughout the war. The roles of principal actors-General Yakubu Gowon (Nigeria) and Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu (Biafra); the defunct Organisation of African Unity (OAU) and the “World Powers” are beautifully painted here.
Part 3 captures the later part of the conflict, say from late 1969 till the war ended. This part also describes the reasons for fall of Biafra (including heavy losses of territories and personnel) and the consequences of the war on both sides. The arguments of genocide, starvation and heavy casualties on both sides during the war are explained here.
In Part 4, the author analyses the contemporary Nigerian social-economic and political challenges. Issues like terrorism, indiscipline, corruption and more importantly, Leadership. Achebe uses his well-known brand of story-telling to beautifully describe these in vivid details.
While it is easy for one to be carried away by the author’s artistic genius or beautiful story-telling technique adopted in passing his critical message, this present reviewer thinks he is rather too emotional or wrote himself into the book on many occasions. While it is quite easy to destroy, it is never easy to create. It is on this note that the reviewer of this book will take a critical look at the “hotspots” raised in the book.
First, the author practically blamed Biafra’s fall on every other thing but Biafra. It appears he finds convenient excuses for why a country “Was” rather than “Is”. The author cites genocide as a convenient excuse for why the “victor side” won, as though the war was a one-sided affair. He asks: “Did the federal government of Nigeria engage in the genocide of its Igbo citizens through punitive policies, the most notorious being ‘starvation as a legitimate weapon of war’?” (Achebe, 2012: 228). War itself is unfair. So, it will be uncharitable for anyone to claim the “victim” in a war which both parties took active parts. Was Achebe seriously expecting a “federal government” that will just to fold its arms and watch helplessly while the secessionist Eastern Region breaks away from the federation? How come the author finds it convenient to tell the bitter truth that poor leadership or strategy failure was the most important factor responsible for Biafra’s fall, and not the so-called genocide? The mishandling of Abagana ambush, the Kwale hostage taking, the Mid-West attack led by Victor Banjo and the breakdown in communication between Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and the Biafran leadership to mention but a few, could be responsible for the defeat. The author must have missed out on these before reaching his conclusion about genocide!
One will wonder why the Biafran political leadership played ignorance of the Nigerian military “might” before engaging it in a war. Was the Vietnamese army of any “might” when it came up against the “almighty” US military resulting in the latter’s resounding defeat in 1968? If the poorly-trained, bare-footed Vietcong or Vietnamese soldiers could hold their grounds against the US; how does Achebe want us to buy into the “David-Versus-Goliath” argument he puts forward in support of Biafra’s fall?
Many ethnic bigots deny that Awolowo, then minister of finance, ever made this statement, but the politician confirmed actually making the statement during the war to M.C.K. Ajuluchuckwu. He, however, said that the unfortunate statement referred only to Biafran soldiers, not civilians or children.
It is our considered view that the author needs to purge himself of Awophobia. The reasons for this are simple. Achebe’s estimation of the politician is faulty, in that, Awolowo is not known to “hate” Igbos. Firstly, Awolowo is not just a politician; he is also reputed to be a sage. In Yoruba mythology, warfare is considered sacred. Declaring war requires thoroughness, so one has to be sure of victory. No one declares war and goes back home defeated alive. This is a fact the sage knows for sure!
Secondly, if anyone was expecting Awolowo to have gone ahead to declare “Oduduwa Republic” as it was popularly speculated, then their underestimation of Awo’s intelligence is obvious. There was no record of Awolowo or his supporters possessing war resources, considering the fact that he was just released from prison!
Thirdly, it is on record that Awolowo worked with many Igbos throughout his political career. Awolowo appointed S.G. Ikoku as his party’s (Action Group) scribe in place of Ayo Rosiji in 1962; nominated Philip Umeadi as his Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) running mate in 1979; M.C.K Ajuluchukwu served as UPN director of publicity in the Second Republic (1979-83) and so on. How better does one demonstrate his hatred for a tribe?
Save for the controversies raised therein, it serves as: an interesting read for those who did not witness; a mind refresher for those who didn’t witness the pogroms but read other books on the topic; an extended resource for those who listened to oral version(s) of the war from those who witnessed it; a treasure for the lover of history who will be fascinated by the unique story-telling method employed in the expose and a good companion to lovers of Nigerian Civil War literature. A gargantuan and unusual expose of the most sensational aspects of Nigerian history- the Nigeria-Biafra War!
Achebe, C. There Was a Country (London: Penguin Press, 2012).
Really, It’s Black Man’s Dilemma!

Advertising is defined as any paid form of non personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods or services by an identified sponsor.
The 5 M’s are basically the different important decisions that are to be taken while designing the advertising campaign. The 5 M’s of advertising are (1) Mission (that is the basic objective or that a company wants to attain by its advertising campaign) (2) Money (How much money should be spent by the company to achieve the objective of advertising and the basic factors that should be considered while deciding the budget of advertising) (3) Message (what specific information company wants to communicate through its advertising; what should be the content of the message etc (4) Media (communication of the message to people requires some media which can be print, or electronic) and (5) Measurement ( it is something related to evaluation of the advertising campaign that can be done either by considering its impact on sales of profit of the company).
1. Stages in the Product Life Cycle. New products typically need larger advertising budgets.
2. Market Share. High market share brands usually need more advertising.
3. Competition and Clutter. More advertising is usually required in a market comprising of several competitors and the advertising clutter.
4. Product differentiation. When a brand closely resembles to the other brand of its class, the more advertising and so the more budget is required to take the market edge effectively.
This consists of 2 elements, (a) creating advertising messages: No matter how big your budget is, advertising can only succeed if commercials gain attention and communicate well. Good advertising messages are especially important in today’s costly and cluttered advertising environment, if all this advertising clutter bothers some consumers; it also causes big problems for advertisers. (b) Selecting advertising media: Media planners are now working more closely than ever with creativity to allow media selection to help shape the creative process, often before a single ad is shaped up.

Point of sale, also known as point of service or point of purchase – is the location where a transaction takes place or more generally refers to the hardware or software that is required to make the check out process possible, i.e. cash register.
Point of sale software adds up the sales totals, figures the sales tax, calculates the change to be given from the amount tendered and automatically adjusts the store’s inventory levels to debit the amount of inventory sold (an automatic stock take). There are various POS systems available, make sure that the system you buy meets all your business requirements.
Point of sale hardware is the equipment that accounts for the biggest part of a POS system and can include the card reading machines and printers as well as computer systems, servers and cash registers.
One of the most basic POS systems are usually found in supermarkets that include a cash register and a scanner. But there are also various more complex POS systems available depending on the type of business you have and what you require of your point of sale system.
Where ever you go no point of sale systems have become a must have for almost all businesses, you can even find them at hotels, casinos and sports stadiums. The POS system with technology evolving is now also a part of the online purchasing craze.

MONDAY, April 1, 2019 (HealthDay News) — For pregnant women, a C-section carries a higher risk of severe complications than a vaginal delivery, particularly after age 35, a new study finds.
For women 35 or older, the risk from C-section is nearly triple that of normal delivery, and that risk leaps to fivefold if they undergo a C-section before labor has commenced, the investigators found.
For women younger than 35, there was about a 50% higher risk of severe complications.
"Cesarean can save lives in some situations. However, it is not a trivial procedure," said senior researcher Dr. Catherine Deneux-Tharaux, a research director with the Center for Epidemiology and Statistics at the Sorbonne in Paris. "It, in itself, carries risks of severe complications for the mother, mainly heavy bleeding, and should only be chosen as the delivery route when the risk-benefit balance has been discussed with the doctor."
C-section rates have soared over the past two decades in most developed countries, where more than one in every five women deliver by cesarean, the study authors said in background notes.
To see what risks these operations might pose to the mother, Deneux-Tharaux and her colleagues compared 1,444 women who experienced severe complications after delivery with 3,464 women who did not.
The proportion of C-section deliveries was twice as high among the women who experienced severe complications, compared with the healthy "control" group (36% versus 18%).
These complications included serious bleeding, seizures, pulmonary embolism (clots), stroke, organ dysfunctions or other problems that would require admission to an intensive care unit.
The increased risk of complications associated with C-sections remained even after the researchers took into account other factors that influence maternal health, and after they excluded women with pre-existing health conditions that could lead to complications.
Birth by C-section "carries risk of severe complications for the mother, both at short-term and for the next pregnancy," Deneux-Tharaux said. "In consequence, the mode of delivery should always be fully discussed by the women with the obstetrician or midwife, in order to avoid unnecessary procedures that carry risk."
However, moms-to-be shouldn't be alarmed by the report. To put things in perspective, Deneux-Tharaux noted that the risk of severe complications to women is about 1.5% across all modes of delivery. Overall risk remains low even with the increased risk that appears to accompany having a C-section delivery.
Dr. Joanne Stone, director of maternal-fetal medicine at Mount Sinai Health System in New York City, agreed.
"While this study shows an association with higher maternal morbidity with cesarean compared to vaginal delivery, the rates of such complications we know from other studies are still very low," Stone said.
Stone added that this study did not include long-term health problems that might come from an ill-advised vaginal birth involving a breech baby or multiple delivery.
Dr. Aaron Caughey, chair of obstetrics and gynecology at the OHSU School of Medicine in Portland, Ore., said that C-section inherently creates the possibility for complications because "you're making holes in people."
He said that "if you have a labor in a subsequent pregnancy after a prior C-section, your risk for a uterine rupture is about one in 200. The baseline risk of a uterine rupture is about one in 20,000. So by making a hole in someone's uterus, you increase the risk to subsequent pregnancies by about 100-fold. There's also nothing you can think of in health care that connotes a risk of 100-fold."
Caughey believes the increased C-section rate is largely being driven by inadequate monitors to track fetal health, combined with an abundance of caution among doctors and patients.
C-sections are necessary when the mother's or baby's life is at risk, but "we don't have great screening or diagnostic tools to tell us when to deliver babies in those settings, so it pushes us to do a lot more C-sections than are necessary, to prevent injury to babies and moms," Caughey said.
Fetal monitors are one example. "We have this inexact screening test, the fetal monitor, which tells us when babies are hypoxic [deprived of oxygen]," Caughey explained. "But babies experience hypoxia in essentially all labor."
Caughey is more doubtful when it comes to anecdotes of women choosing to undergo C-sections so they can better time their delivery.
"It's a thing that happens, there's no question, but I've given talks on C-section all over the country" and haven't come across many physicians with firsthand experience of such timed deliveries, Caughey said. "I don't really think it is nearly the driver that people thought it was. There's no evidence to support that."
The study was published April 1 in the CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).

Kurzfassung auf Englisch: Radiation damage in minerals is caused by the alpha-decay of incorporated radionuclides, such as U and Th and their decay products. The effect of thermal annealing (400-1400 K) on radiation-damaged pyrochlores has been investigated by Raman scattering, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and combined differential scanning calorimetry/thermogravimetry (DSC/TG) (Zietlow et al., in print). The analysis of three natural radiation-damaged pyrochlore samples from Miass/Russia (6.4 wt% Th, 23.1·1018 α-decay events per gram (dpg)), Zlatoust/Russia (6.3 wt% Th, 23.1·1018 dpg), Panda Hill/Tanzania (1.6 wt% Th, 1.6·1018 dpg), and Blue River/Canada (10.5 wt% U, 115.4·1018 dpg), are compared with a crystalline reference pyrochlore from Schelingen (Germany). The type of structural recovery depends on the initial degree of radiation damage (Panda Hill 28 %, Blue River 85 %, Zlatoust and Miass 100 % according to XRD), as the recrystallization temperature increases with increasing degree of amorphization. Raman spectra indicate reordering on the local scale during annealing-induced recrystallization. As Raman modes around 800 cm-1 are sensitive to radiation damage (Vandenborre & Husson 1983, Moll et al. 2011), the degree of local order was deduced from the ratio of the integrated intensities of the sum of the Raman bands between 605 and 680 cm-1 devided by the sum of the integrated intensities of the bands between 810 and 860 cm-1. The most radiation damaged pyrochlores (Miass and Zlatoust) show an abrupt recovery of both, its short- (Raman) and long-range order (X-ray) between 800 and 850 K. The volume decrease upon recrystallization in Zlatoust pyrochlore was large enough to crack the sample repeatedly. In contrast, the weakly damaged pyrochlore (Panda Hill) begins to recover at considerably lower temperatures (near 500 K), extending over a temperature range of ca. 300 K, up to 800 K (Raman). The pyrochlore from Blue River shows in its initial state an amorphous x-ray diffraction pattern superimposed by weak Bragg-maxima that indicates the existence of ordered regions in a damaged matrix. Unlike the other studied pyrochlores, Raman spectra of the Blue River sample show the appearance of local modes above 560 K between 700 and 800 cm-1 resulting from its high content of U and Ta impurities. DSC measurements confirmed the observed structural recovery upon annealing. While the annealing-induced ordering of Panda Hill begins at a lower temperature (ca. 500 K) the recovery of the highly-damaged pyrochlore from Miass occurs at 800 K. The Blue-River pyrochlore shows a multi-step recovery which is similarly seen by XRD. Thermogravimetry showed a continuous mass loss on heating for all radiation-damaged pyrochlores (Panda Hill ca. 1%, Blue River ca. 1.5%, Miass ca. 2.9%).
In order to elucidate local phenomena by NMR spectroscopy, a simpler structure of a metamict mineral such as titanite has been chosen. Hence, metamict titanite from Cardiff uranium mine (M28696) in Ontario, Canada, has been analysed using 29Si magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MAS NMR) (Zietlow et al., 2014). A broad Gaussian shaped NMR signal at -81 ppm occurs at room temperature resulting from the mainly short range ordered metamict structural state. NMR signals were obtained at room temperature and after annealing at 600, 950, 1220 and 1470 K. Because of increasing crystallinity the full width at half maximum (FWHM) decreased from 24 ppm to 20 ppm respectively using a Pseudo-Voigt fit. For comparison well crystalline titanite from Rauris showed an NMR signal at -79.3 ppm with FWHM of 4.1 ppm and an almost Lorentzian profile because of its good long range order. Integrating synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) signals of Cardiff titanite show an increase of the long range order at annealing temperatures considerably lower than the short range ordering seen by NMR.

Conceived of as the home of the Huntington Hartford’s Gallery of Modern Art and completed in 1964, the 9-story building at 2 Columbus Circle by Edward Durell Stone (d. 1978) now stands vacant, as it has been since 1998. Its unique design is now threatened by a planned “renovation”, based upon the plans of architect Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works Architecture (in collaboration with Gary Edward Handel & Associates), which would destroy the appearance of the building, redesigning the interior and replacing the alternately admired and disparaged marble facade.
There has been an effort underway to fight for landmark status for the building, thus protecting it from renovation projects like that currently planned by the Museum of Arts and Design (formerly the American Craft Museum), which arranged to purchase the building for $17 million from the city, which had since acquired the building. The charge has been championed by many organizations, including Landmark West!, the National Trust for Historic Preservation (which named it one of the 11 Most Endangered Places for 2004), the Historic Districts Council, Docomomo and The Preservation League of New York State (which named it among its 2003 Seven to Save). The battle shortly after the building met its age requirement to be considered for landmark status, though the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission has declined to grant it, rendering that decision in 1996.
With demolition set to begin in the fall, the organizations and individuals (notably the architect Robert A. M. Stern) fighting for the building’s preservation have stepped up their efforts. On 27 May 2005, Landmark West! filed one of a handful of lawsuits against several parties, including the chair of Landmarks Preservation Commission, Robert Tierney, and the Museum of Arts and Design. Landmark West! accused them of “conspiracy to obstruct and subvert the lawful functioning of New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission,” the result of which has been the apparently inexplicable refusal on the part of the Commission to hold a hearing on the matter. Nevertheless, the work permits required for the project was granted in late June. On 11 July, a letter was sent on behalf of seven concerned organizations to Mayor Bloomberg, petitioning him, without success, to support their call for a hearing. The negative result is not surprising, considering that Bloomberg himself appointed Tierney and has had close ties to the museum. This was followed up by a “People’s Meeting” on the 14th of July at the General Society for Mechanics and Tradesman Library.
Although the fight is not over, those who stand on the side of preservation have met with little success thusfar. Regardless of the end result, it is only just that the case of those who feel that the building merits landmark status, and the protection it would guarantee, be heard.

Will The Batman Reboot Be Based On The Arkham Games?
With the reports that Warner Bros. will doing the opposite of what Marvel has done and have the Justice League release before any individual character films come out, spare Man Of Steel, speculation about the films for the Flash, Aquaman, and a Batman reboot has been relatively quiet. However, the Batman reboot is rumored to quickly follow Justice League and some fans have expressed the desire that the films follow the plot of the acclaimed Arkham games. It seems like a good idea and those fans may be in luck, as there is now news that Warner has registered a series of domain names featuring various Arkham-related titles.
It appears that Warner has been secretly buying up the domain names through the same company that it uses for warnerbros.com and other domains such as the ones for the 300 prequel.
Check out the full list of domain names registered below.
So the question with all these domains is are they just for the next Arkham video game, or will the Batman reboot be based on the games? I don’t think a film set in the world of the games is all that farfetched of a possibility. The games are just about the coolest thing to happen to superheroes since Spider-Man got a comic book, and the plot of the games is a much better story than most superhero movies. With some slight tweaking, they would make for absolutely awesome films.
Justice League could somehow set up Batman being sent to Arkham City too and the whole movie could take place within the world created by that game. Of course, a major problem with opting for an plot based on the games is the Joker is a pretty necessary part of that world, and it may be too soon for fans to accept another actor filling the gaping hole left by Heath Ledger. That being said, someone has to take on the character again at some point, so why not have it happen sooner rather than later. I just don’t envy the actor whose every move will be compared to that of Ledger’s.
Then again, it’s always possible that Warner is simply registering these domains for no other reason than to protect its intellectual property, but this mass registering leads me to believe something more is happening.
Again, with no official announcement made, this is all speculation for now, but be sure to check back as we’ll keep you updated with any information that comes in.
What do you think of Warner registering all these domain names? Would you like to see a film based on the Arkham games? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

When it comes to writing, one of the most important tasks a writer has is to give just enough information, then allow the imagination of the reader to fill in the rest. Beginning writers, however, often overdo it, creating descriptions that are far too verbose and convoluted. The question is, how much is too much? Unfortunately, there are as many answers as there are writers.
Mark Twain, for example, advised, “Don’t let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. … They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are far apart” (letter to D. W. Bowser, 1880).
The man walked down the street.
Why did the man walk?
Is he alone, or is someone with him?
The kind old man with fading hair, shining eyes, a moth-eaten sweater, and wrinkled brown pants that had seen better days walked alone down the crowded street toward the bank in order to finally retrieve the large, heavy, and bulky safety deposit box his great-aunt Helen had left him so many years before when she’d died of pneumonia in some out-of-the-way, godforsaken hospital they called a sanatorium.
Can you spot the problems? First, there is so much description that it becomes impossible to discern what’s important and what isn’t. Second, nothing is left to the imagination, which breaks our cardinal rule of giving just enough information to allow the imagination of the reader to fill in the rest.
To provide the reader with a solid idea of the character while still retaining some of the mystery, we must remove anything that isn’t necessary to the reader’s understanding of either the character or the plot.
“Kind” can be removed because it can be shown through the man’s actions with others.
The specifics of his attire can be removed, which will allow the reader to imagine what clothing “that had seen better days” might look like.
“Oversized” can take the place of the three adjectives large, heavy, and bulky.
“Helen” can be removed to prevent the confusion of too many character names.
The entire description of the sanatorium can be removed because it isn’t relevant to the main plot, which is about the man—not his great-aunt.
The old man with fading hair, shining eyes, and clothes that had seen better days walked alone down the crowded street toward the bank. He was finally going to retrieve the oversized safety deposit box his great-aunt had left him so many years before.
By making the cuts and keeping what matters, we are left with a clear, concise, and interesting portrait of a character. We are also compelled to continue reading to learn why his great-aunt left him the box, what’s inside, and what he’s going to do with it once he has it.
In the end, the way to deal with too much descriptive prose is simple: Pare it down to its barest form (e.g., “the man walked down the street”), then ask yourself what else your readers need to know. If it isn’t important to the characters or plot, leave it out.

Companies, organization, and sometimes even educational instructions conduct coaching and mentoring sessions. The two terms are so often used together that many people feel that they are one and the same. However, that is not the case. Coaching and mentoring are two different things with different methods and processes.
Coaching is a development program that is skill and task oriented. In a work place, coaching sessions are generally conducted between a new employee and a senior employee. If an employee is moved to a new function, he/she will receive training on the new work process. The superior conducting this session is called coach or trainer.
Mentoring is a process where an experienced person helps another person build life skills and develop positive thoughts for a better life and/or career. A mentor focuses on the personal development or career development of a person and not just on particular tasks or processes. A life coach can be a mentor, helping the individual work through the difficult times in life and emerge successful and happy. A person providing mentoring is called a mentor.
The goal of a coaching session is to make the trainee aware of the new process, techniques, methods, or skills and improve the work performance The aim of a mentoring program is to empower the mentee gain maturity, learn life skills, and make confident decisions.
As you can see in the above table, there are many differences between coaching and mentoring. Though both coaching and mentoring are widely different, they have a common goal in improving the individual – in the tasks they do or the decisions they make.
When a company is planning to improve the talent pool or start a leadership development program, the company can plan a mentoring program.
I Design My Life offers coaching and mentoring programs for employees of corporate companies. We plan and organize coaching and mentoring sessions based on the specific requirements of each company. Contact us for more details.

Sen. Orrin Hatch sends mixed messages about his position on bringing detainees from Guantanamo Bay to the continental U.S.
On Thursday, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, took to the floor of the Senate in order to express his vehement opposition to the idea of closing the military prison at Guantanamo Bay and transferring the detainees currently held there to facilities in the lower 48.
Bringing these detainees to the continental United States is tantamount to injecting a virus into a healthy body.
Yes, folks, you heard it here first: Orrin Hatch opposes a plan that he believes is equivalent to the smallpox vaccine.

Sometimes the techniques that you have been using backfire, parents and children can have power struggles and arguments, and everyday life is a challange. It is ok to ask for help. With NHA, we can help.
All your child wants is your attention and when they don’t get it, they act out. We have learned that constantly correcting your child’s bad behavior can only result in negative attitudes. With the NHA, we empower parents to shift this paradigm so that you and your child are no longer butting heads. It teaches you how to shift your focus and concentrate on what is going right in your child’s life. In psychology terms, you learn to focus on positive reinforcement (presenting a positive stimulus for positive behavior) instead of negative punishment (removing a desired stimulus for negative behavior) or positive punishment (adding a negative consequence for undesirable behavior).
When you, as a parent, are constantly criticizing your child for their behavior or attitude, it is sure to damage their self-esteem as well as their decision-making and social skills. It is hard to see the end results in the moment, but we have to remind ourselves that we need to be as uplifting as possible so that the criticism isn’t the only thing they hold onto.

What disturbs me most about Statesman’s PR push to pass their urban-style resort is the cynical way they seek to divide the Brinnon community.
Their PR materials paint a picture of a bleak and depressed Brinnon with no alternative but to throw our lot in with a Canadian developer and hope the benefits trickle down.
Are we that gullible and desperate? Apparently. The Board of County Commissioners and the Department of Community Development are willing to let this developer come up with one overblown proposal after another with no financial assurances that we won’t foot the bill for their mistakes. Statesman sought to attract rich Chinese to finance their scheme. That failed. Then they proposed that Jefferson County “grant” them $2 million, the state “grant” them nearly $10 million and issue $26.5 million in tax-free bonds.
This is similar to other resort schemes Statesman floated (unsuccessfully) in Canada. Entice local residents with dreams of jobs and increased tax revenue, then reveal the nasty surprise – they don’t have the money to do it.
Ten years of bickering over a resort can’t be financed and will probably never be built, illustrates the failure of the county to plan for its communities. Brinnon has a sub-area plan that articulates the will of the people of Brinnon. We’re an isolated rural village. We want appropriate services, job opportunities and moderate development. In the 16 years since that plan was adopted, not one single thing has been implemented.
Memo to Statesman and any elected officials or candidates running interference for them: We will not be silenced, we will not be marginalized. We know a con when we see one. You can’t dump an urban-scale resort in our backyard and leave us to clean it up.

(WSVN) - When you own a business, you have to advertise … ads on TV, things like that help. And something else is needed — a sign out front so people know you are there. But one South Florida woman had her sign taken down by the landlord, and when they wouldn’t put it back up, she called Help Me Howard with Patrick Fraser.
Now try running a small business by yourself.
But Debbie says her landlord is not putting its customers first.
As part of the remodeling for the Shoppes on University and Commercial, Debbie’s sign was taken off the marquee out front. A few business signs have been replaced, but not a sign for Copy Biz.
The plaza is not full. In fact, it’s mostly empty. On their website as one of their lures for new tenants, the management company writes “pylon signage” because they have plenty of space on the marquee.
In the meantime, the cars on University Drive go by, not aware of the small business in the back o the plaza.
Well Howard, you have read the emails and lease. Is Debbie entitled to the sign she is paying to maintain.
I emailed and called Debbie’s property manager at Cohen Commercial several times but got no response.
I left messages for the people who run Cohen Commercial … no reply.
We called the owner of the building in Dallas, Texas. They didn’t return phone calls either.
Finally they offered Debbie a proposal; a temporary sign that she would pay for and they could take down at any time with 15 days notice.
Debbie says she will try to stay in business, but she can’t believe what the owner and managers are doing to her.
Maybe some good news. Just before we got ready to air this story, the management company sent Debbie an email finally agreeing with her saying per your lease, you have a right to a sign and you can install it.
Debbie said put that in writing on your letter head. She said they told her no, so she is afraid if she puts up a sign, they may take it down.
What’s gonna happen next? We will keep an eye on this and let you know.
Seen a sign you’ve got a problem coming? Ready to install some helpers? Send a copy of the info to us. So we can put you on the marquee to hopefully advertise your solution.

Refuting Swedish misstatements, why are Chinese diplomats more and more dared to speak?
Why do Chinese diplomats dare to speak more and more when they criticize Sweden's erroneous remarks, talk with Japanese ambassadors, and broadcast live programs in Europe and the United States?
The diplomatic envoys with the highest rate during this period were not the Chinese ambassador to Sweden, Gui Gui friends. Since the incident of Chinese tourists being roughly treated by Swedish police came to light, Ambassador Gui has been interviewed three times by local media to clarify China's solemn position and refute the wrong statements made by the Swiss side.
Although these Chinese tourists behaved inappropriately, there is no blame for the actions of Chinese embassies abroad in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of citizens. Imagine, when citizens encounter difficulties overseas, is it the hope that the embassy and consulate flying the five-star red flag to lend a hand, or is it silent?
Over the years, it has become apparent that Chinese diplomats are increasingly dared to speak. In addition to the example of GUI's friends, Liu Xiaoming, Ambassador to Britain, a few years ago. He has repeatedly received live interviews with local media, and has been talking about the Japanese ambassador to Britain in political commentary.
Generally speaking, Chinese diplomats concentrate on vocalization. There are basically two cases. One is to cooperate with major state affairs. For example, Chinese leaders visit their host countries or visit leaders in their countries. At this time, as the highest representative of the Chinese government in the region, it is the responsibility and obligation of the Chinese and foreign media to introduce the relationship between the two countries, the itinerary of the visit and the expectations of the trip.
On July 16 this year, just before President Xi Jinping's visit to Senegal, Chinese Ambassador to Serbia Zhang Xun received a joint exclusive interview with State TV and State Radio. On September 4, before Kenyan President Kenyatta's visit to China, Chinese Ambassador to Kenya Sun Baohong published a signed article in the local media to discuss the significance of his visit.
The other is to publicize China's foreign policy and convey China's concerns to its host country. The Chinese ambassador to Sweden, who is the first Chinese ambassador to Sweden, took an exclusive interview with Chinese tourists. Last year, China's "one belt and one way" International Cooperation Summit Forum, before and after the China Africa Cooperation Forum this year, all the relevant embassies and consulates in China frequently voicing their voices, which is the former. There are also both, for example, the recent statements made by our foreign agencies on Sino-US trade frictions in newspapers, television, the Internet and other media have shown China's attitude and sought international understanding and support.
It can be said that such a high-density "Chinese voice" has been hard to imagine in the past. For a long time, the voice of the Chinese side is relatively small in the mainstream public opinion field in the West. Some of them are prejudiced or even discriminated against by the western media, but there are also some shortcomings of Chinese diplomats themselves.
"Foreign affairs are nothing small, things need to be consulted" and "diplomats are the PLA in civilian clothes." These views are naturally correct, but in the information age, it is more necessary to understand dialectically. In the international public opinion field, we do not speak, or do not speak loudly, that is to say the right to speak to others. In the past, we often said, "reason is not loud," but now, "reason is more important to speak out." The author notes that Gui Congyou was interviewed by a Swedish journalist on "organ donation and transplantation in China". In the past, because China had said little on this sensitive issue, it gave room for some ulterior motives to make up rumors.
Moreover, it is the degree of grasp of policy. Li Zhaoxing, former foreign minister, had an example when he was a representative of China to the United Nations. An attendant reported to him that a stranger had just distributed to him "one China, one Taiwan" and "Taiwan independence" materials. Li Zhaoxing was not satisfied with the young colleague's political sensitivity. "Limited diplomatic authority is right, but it also depends on what issues. Do you think anyone else wants to report "Taiwan independence" materials? You should refute this person on the spot and tear up the material in person. You run back quickly to see if the man is still there.
More and more diplomats are willing to face the lens.
Of course, Chinese diplomats should not only "speak out" but also "speak well". Is the international community still the "home field" of Western society, in the process of international communication, continue to use the Chinese people's own idiomatic concepts and expressions, or use the "localized" language to generate more resonance?
For example, GUI came to the Swedish side to refute the so-called "no fault theory of police". In an interview with local media, he said, "As far as we know, in November 2011, a similar incident occurred in the southern Swedish city of Bross. At that time, the victim was a Swedish citizen who was found guilty of dereliction of duty. This shows Rui Fang's double standards in handling similar incidents.
Besides, it is understood by the host country. For example, in explaining to British audiences why China firmly opposes Japanese Prime Minister Yasukuni Shrine visits, Ambassador Liu Xiaoming compares Japanese militarism to Voldemort, the great villainer in the novel Harry Potter, and quotes former British Prime Minister Churchill's famous saying that "those who forget history are doomed to repeat the same mistake".
It has been noted that in the past, Chinese diplomats used to express their position by accepting "written interviews" from foreign media. Now more and more Chinese diplomats are willing to face the camera or even broadcast live programs. This is a great test to Chinese diplomats' psychological quality and on-the-spot adaptability.
You know, unlike the slow rhythm of "first, second, second, and last" political programs in China, media interviews in Europe and the United States are much faster. These hosts, journalists are often experts in the economic and legal fields, rich in knowledge, often able to quickly seize the other side of the flaw to "torture" guests, or even let guests down. For example, Swedish journalists frequently ask Chinese ambassadors questions about "Chinese tourists are wrong first, Swedish police are right, and whether China is making a big deal of a big deal".
Look at the question and answer process of Broadcasting British Corporation hosts and Liu Xiaoming. Within more than 10 minutes, the two sides had nearly 30 questions and answers. Liu Xiaoming often answers a few words to interrupt the host, either to continue questioning, or to change the topic, there is no gap. And Liu Xiaoming's answer is straightforward. "You're not right because..."
This kind of high-intensity mental confrontation sets high demands on diplomats, whether they are familiar with the language of their country, mastery of China's foreign policy, or even physical fitness.
Some Western media have used the term "aggressive" to describe Chinese diplomats as "aggressive" in their frequent voices. This statement is inappropriate. Because China's attitude towards international disputes has not changed, and it has only changed the way to safeguard national interests. In other words, what China advocates is nothing more than a single star. But we have more and more effective ways to deal with other people's irrational attempts. The reason for this is that Chinese diplomats are more upright and have an increasingly strong motherland behind them.
Sweden is now insulting China after being exposed to rough treatment by Chinese tourists.

As we read this month’s devotion on living a beautiful life, I can’t help but want to pray that God grants us the grace and perseverance to continue living a life that is ‘different’ from the lives around us. A life that stands out.
Standing out doesn’t always imply easy-living. Standing out means being different. Choosing different, conducting myself different. The King James translation talks of us as a ‘peculiar people’.
Titus 2:14 Who gave Himself for us; that He might redeem us from all iniquity; and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
While our first thoughts of the word peculiar are strange, it also means chosen, unique and selected. God has chosen us for great and marvelous works. Let us not become weary of being peculiar! Let us not place so much emphasis of the opinion of the people around us, but let us stand up, stand firm and stand out for God!
We thank you that You have chosen us for bringing praises to You, thank You that we are lifted out of a dark world, into Your marvelous light. Lord, use us as Your light. Help to shine and draw people to You.
God, while we reach out to people in the MENA district, while it is our heart’s cry for them to may get to know you, help us to not forget those You have placed in our paths, whether in the Middle-East, South Africa, Egypt, Lebanon, or the neighbor living next to us, the Teacher educating our children, the assistant in the grocery store.
Help us to always do good, to always show love and to always be Jesus to the broken and shattered people around us. Keep us on our knees Lord, keep our minds fixed on You. Give us wisdom how to pray and what to pray. Lord, give us a discerning spirit so we may see the need right where we are.
Teach us how to pray according to Your will Lord, teach us how to be okay with being peculiar. Train us in Your ways. Break our hearts for what breaks Yours. Give us empathy and perseverance when we pray for the persecuted church. Give us wisdom when we pray. Help us to pray strategically.
Thank You that by Your grace, we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood. Help us to live like we believe it. Help us to walk and talk different than the world around us. And Lord above all, help us to see things the way You see them. Change our eyes God, that we may see You in everyone we meet. And that we may intercede, morning day and night, knowing that we were chosen to lift to You, those who still need to meet You as their Lord and Savior.
May Your will be done, may Your Kingdom come.

"Examining the Relation of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus to Ligame" by Melissa M. Galli, Nicole M. Protzman et al.
Examining the Relation of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus to Ligamentous and Lateral Ankle Tendinous Pathologic Features: A Comprehensive MRI Review in an Asymptomatic Lateral Ankle Population.
Given the frequency and burden of ankle sprains, the pathologic features identified on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are widely known in the symptomatic population. Ankle MRI pathologic features in the asymptomatic population, however, are poorly understood. Such examinations are rarely undertaken unless an ankle has been injured or is painful. We report the systematic MRI findings from the reports of 108 consecutive asymptomatic lateral ankles (104 patients). Our purpose was to (1) report the prevalence of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) and pathologic features of the medial and lateral ligaments, peroneal tendons, and superior peroneal retinaculum (SPR); (2) correlate the presence of OLTs with the pathologic features of the medial and lateral ligaments, peroneal tendons, and SPR; and (3) correlate ligamentous discontinuity with the peroneal pathologic features, OLTs, and SPR pathologic features. A total of 16 OLTs (14.81%) were present (13 medial and 3 lateral). Of the 16 patients with OLTs, 8 (50.00%) had concomitant peroneal pathologic findings. Healthy medial and lateral ligaments were noted in 41 patients (37.96%), and ligamentous discontinuity was grade I in 25 (23.15%), II in 32 (29.63%), III in 5 (4.63%), and grade IV in 5 patients (4.63%). A weak positive correlation was found between attenuation or tears of the superficial deltoid and medial OLTs (phi coefficient = 0.23, p = .0191) and a moderate positive correlation between tears of the posterior talofibular ligament and lateral OLTs (phi coefficient = 0.30, p = .0017). Additionally, a moderate positive correlation between ligamentous discontinuity and tendinopathy of the peroneus brevis was noted [Spearman's coefficient(106) = 0.29, p = .0024]. These findings add to the evidence of concomitant pathologic features in the asymptomatic population. To definitively assess causation and evaluate the clinical evolution of radiologic findings, future, prospective, longitudinal cohort studies are necessary.

Nick Blake has just returned from the battlefields of Europe and is part of a lost generation trying to make its way in postwar America. As he sets out on a journey across the country, the summer of 1947 comes alive in a mind-bending, history-altering romp. Nick witnesses the birth of electric blues in Chicago, encounters the first members of the Beat Generation taking to the road, gets caught up with the original motorcycle gang invading small-town America, and is party to the first sightings of UFOs across the Midwestern skies. Along the way, he encounters a young Muddy Waters, an even younger Jack Kerouac, and a blues-loving, harmonica-playing alien named Jaxson Epsilon, the most unusual character of them all. Jaxson has a secret that is about to change the course of human history as he endeavors to alter the dreams of every man, woman, and child for generations to come.
In this groundbreaking exploration of the brain, dreams, and neurology, the reader is thrust into the dark corners and hidden pathways of human consciousness. The Chronicle of Stolen Dreams is alternately profound, hilarious, and provocative as it poses theories of human behavior that challenge all accepted wisdom. The book is part Vonnegut, part Rushdie, part Chabon, and entirely Tarnoff as the author of The Bone Man of Benares and The Thousand Year Journey of Tobias Parker pushes into a whole new universe of ideas. The summer of 1947 will never again be seen the same way.
